Graduation weekend marked a milestone in Joshua Hill's life.
The college graduate earned his bachelors degree from the University of North Texas alongside his peers...and his mom and dad.
Donna Hill, her husband Buddy, and their son crossed the stage on the same day.
The husband and wife put off their college education years ago.
"We got married and had kids, so the kids became the priority," said Donna Hill. "So we put our own personal wants on the back burner to raise the kids."
"Life happens, whatever comes up and all the sudden education is what gets thrown aside," Buddy added.
When their oldest son enrolled at UNT, mom and dad were inspired.
"I had always wanted to finish it but hadn't had the opportunity. When the opportunity came up, I had to take it," Buddy said.
The trio moved forward with their educations.
Buddy and Donna worked and raised their other three kids while taking classes.
Joshua lived in a dorm, experiencing the typical college lifestyle.
They all have degrees and a very special memory to hold on to.
Buddy plans to continue working at the University of North Texas, Joshua will pursue a career in computer science, and Donna plans to become a teacher.

Select Route:
Rainbow Rocks is the smallest and least-visited of the main Tieton crags. Nevertheless, there's enough to keep you busy for a day and a few routes are worth repeat visits. Routes range from 35 to 60 feet on columns that range from steep slabs to gently overhanging. The rock is generally quite good and peppered with horizontal edges. The sport routes get most of the attention, but there are some worthwhile cracks, too.
Getting There
Take Highway 12 east or west to "Rimrock Retreat," a small collection of cabins and businesses. The crag is on the hillside to the north above the community.

Carestream Health Illustrates Innovation In Action
Professor Bart Sijnave, Chief Information Officer at UZ Gent explains: "Like many global healthcare providers, the push is to reduce the duration of stays, increasing the focus on the chain of information and ensuring that patient care is enhanced through good communication and the appropriate level of care provided by the right professional.
Professor Sijnave continues: "We've worked with PACS in Radiology for the last five years, and now there is no film used anywhere in the hospital- even surgery is completed using digital imaging. We decided we needed a central storage system, one where all multimedia could be deposited, easily accessed, and shared, regardless of the department from which it originated."
As the largest single campus university hospital in Belgium, UZ Gent employs six thousand people, housing 1062 patient beds. The hospital focuses on the number of patients cared for and the throughput of day patients- in 2008 the hospital completed more than 101,000 procedures. The continuation of this upward trend will rely on optimised care being provided at every stage of patient recovery.
UZ Gent wanted the ability to store multimedia and emerging imaging technology. Professor Sijnave needed a hospital-wide system that was more than just a bolted together jumble of software; it needed to be able to communicate with every caregiver, to be able to share information using a vendor-independent platform and the system it chose had to support that efficiently, moulding itself to the working practices at UZ Gent.
Carestream Health has designed a renowned data workflow engine that is now at work in some of the biggest health maintenance organisations and hospitals in the world. This made it the obvious choice for Professor Sijnave. At UZ Gent the PACS will hook up over 40 different departments to one clinical archive. The enterprise-wide system will simplify IT administrative functions and reduce cost, delivering a multi-tier repository for industry-standard data such as XDS, XDS-1, DICOM, HL7 as well as other non-DICOM objects.
Carestream started the project by setting up five pilot departments and built from that to enable all 40 departments access to the Clinical Data Archive (CDA). The archive will provide a single access point to clinical images and other stored clinical information including images, video clips, laboratory results and biopsy results.
UZ Gent is building a truly unique care model. Networked to 12 other hospitals, all able to access the technology platform, it has created a secure information and image exchange that has no reliance on geographical location. This efficient system is open and yet incredibly secure, supporting the best methods of patient care.
Professor Bart Sijnave, describes his vision: "Patient care will increasingly involve a multi- discipline approach, with teams working together to provide the most comprehensive care package possible. The theory sounds easy but in practice has traditionally broken down due to poor information exchange, particularly with the sharing of patient records."
Having worked through the various issues associated with sharing information, UZ Gent is well placed to head up the move to a national and international platform where patient care can be completely transformed through the use of fast and efficient data sharing.

Allen West Does Not Regret Making "Communist" CommentPosted by: Javier Manjarres on April 17, 2012
by Javier Manjarres
Washington,D.C.- During the monthly 'Conversations with Conservatives' press event sponsored by the Heritage Foundation, Congressman Allen West was questioned about his recent comment that 80 members of the Democratic Progressive Caucus in Congress were Communists.
West took on the reporter who asked the question by delivering a vintage Allen West historical smack-down to his question.
West then challenge anyone to have a debate with him about political ideology.
I don't regret it whatsoever." I think that if you were to take the time to study the politcal spectrum of ideologies, you would understand that at the turn of the century, American Communists renamed themselves as Progressives. There is a very thin line between Communism, Progressivism, Marxism, Socialism, or even as Mark Levin has said, Statism.- Congressman Allen West

This is what I've been talking about. Liberalism IS all about control & regulating everything! It's time we call Liberalism for what it is. evil.
and it's time we call you for what you are: Ignorant.
and it's time we call you for what you are: @sshole
Another "useful idiot" pops up. Daniel has drunk way too much socialist koolaid to know any history from Pres. Wilson's Progressive Era early on in the 1900′s.
Politicians who have a hidden agenda keep changing their names: Communist,Progressive,Liberal,Socialist,back to Progressive and admitted Communists among Obama's "Czars".
Where were Czars in the American Constitution?
According to Daniel, I must be stupid as I missed that part.
GenEarly you didn't miss a damn thing…….Daniel just doesn't know 'jack sh**'!!!
You truly are a useful idiot.
You immediately attack the enemy with demagogy and slurs. Where did you learn to do that? I guessing Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals."
Daniel – it's time you came out of denial. Everything Allen West said it accurate. The US Constitution is the law of the land. Liberal Progressives are at war with our constitution. If you are like them and don't like our constitution then stop living like a hypocrite. Pack up your rags, and move to a different country, and take your liberal friends with you.
Rob I agree with you 100%
I've never seen a bunch of sicker minds in one place in a long time.
Talk about "dividing" instead of uniting and I see it here exercised as a political tool.
I Decline to unite with the Socialist Filth of the "Rich" occupy Movement.
Comrade "Rich" you should consider changing you name, maybe to "Everyman" or some other silly Hollyweed name.
Don't you dare ever call me comrade you fascist.
Communists killed my family and took our farms.
Take your false patriotism and false bravado elsewhere, buddy.
It's time that working Americans stood up against the unfair advantages that the wealthiest Americans and big business have bought for themselves.
None of your teabagger buddies have your interests in mind. They're in office now, they're riding the gravy train that you and I pay for. Now they're interested in toeing the corporate line to keep the campaign contributions/bribes flowing in. The sooner you folks realize that they're selling the country out from under us the better off we'll be. Working Americans have to stand up for working Americans or we'll be mere peasants before too long.
Working Americans include the Rich working Americans that create the jobs.
The Tea Party Americans are the truest Americans.
They follow the Constitution which the Liberal,Socialist,Marxist,Progressive ideaalogs want to destroy. Obama is once again trying to recapture the useful Idiots and Sheeple who are working for the Dictator in chief, to continue getting the Freebies that others who really work for a living, provide through the taxes they are forced to pay to a Bloated,inefficient and immoral Government. Remember to VOTE Nov 6
Hey, sizzler, many of the wealthiest Americans do not work for a living like you and I do.
Their income comes from investments and is taxed much lower than our hourly wages are.
The wealthiest Americans do not need the tea party to pimp for them. They've already bought the government and we need to win it back. More teabaggers in the Congress will only mean more corporate control of the government. If you believe that's a good thing, then I just don't know what to say.
Sizzler, while I have your attention, where exactly did you discover that wealthy Americans "create" jobs?
Do they just sit around and one day decide to create a job or two?
Did anyone ever teach you that jobs are created in response to an increase in demand for a firm's goods and/or services? How is greater demand for goods and services created? It's created by getting more money into the hands of the middle class working American family, not by cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans.
Get it?
I see a problem with your logic: The Congres & Senate was controlled by the Democrat Party for 2 Years before any "Tea Party" Candidate was elected. The one's that are actually identified as such are a minority of the Republican's and haven't been able to get much if anything of their agenda enacted.
A "middle class" American (or lower) who has created a good or service that became sucessful becomes your "wealthy class" that is their goal. The amount of wealth in this country due to "old money" is a minority of the rich, and our percentage of old money wealth is also lower than any country in the world you care to name.
I love that all these folks think the simple solution is to tax the wealthy. Guess what most of the wealthy do, run companies and businesses. Do you think they are going to say "OK I'll just pay higher taxes" no, they are going to pay those taxes and pass it on to us the consumer! So ultimately we will all be paying the bill, in higher food, gas, home supplies… you name it, it will go up in price. These wealthy also have better accountants and will figure out a way to shelter it. Or they might just get so disgusted move their money or business out of the US all together. Finally after they can't get enough out of of the $200,000 and above (which they say will only keep the government going 6 more months) it will be $100,000 taxed higher, then $60,000 so on and so on. And guess who will probably be exempt from these taxes? yYou got it our lovely politicians.

My Dear Gen Early: Thank you again for posting on this subject. You are followed by other than nut cases.
I have a congressman (l.c. on purpose) who is the Progressive Party Co-Chairman for the House. He is so bad, and his views to us in his Zone get nothing if we are not from his center zone (Tucson). He will not even come to La Paz Cty. and discuss himself or his socialist views. Raul G. is his name…there, now don't vote for this slime ball.
I want all of them, the 80 plus Named and listed for defeat in the next election cycle. Take an issue and list who voted for and against it and highlight the commie votes…
We must help others to get elected, but whoa unto us if someone starts a race war or shoots up another Congressperson. We lucked out with Gabbie being shot but a certified nut case. All obummmmeeerrr and DOJ needed was a white senior citizen or retired military to have done such a stupid thing and all the guns in Arizona would have been 'TAKEN' from us at gunpoint, hell they might have found the "walked guns" in some ones attic…yeah sure.. Homeland security is camped out through out AZ in small groups, for some purpose, they are not saying, just "around"…I fear big brother is planning something…look out. I am of the Heston side of the fence..my cold dead hands…etc.

Representive West is absolutely correct in his description of Progressives. They are American Communists, and their goals are the same as that of Communism, except that they've been working on the inside of our government to bring us down.
There is no reason for Col. West (or anyone else for that matter) to apologize for speaking the truth.
Speaking of truth, I like Rep. West's quotation in WORLD magazine: "The thing that discourages me the most about crossing the Potomac is that there are people up here who are very comfortable with lying".
http://disqus techquad
Islam and commies do it because lying is normal to them.
Hey, before you folks get tired out from patting yourselves on the back. Exactly WHO are the communists? Can Mr. West prove his accusations or is he just telling you all what you want to hear?
I want to know exactly who the communists are and if he can't tell us, then he's exactly what I think he is, another politician that will say to his base whatever is necessary to get re-elected.
He's got the cushy job now and will gleefully double dip his pensions and government healthcare that you and I pay for, even better coverage than you all want to take away from government employees who actually work for a living.
In my opinion I start with the PRESIDENT, he is showing all the signs of what communism is all about, another 4 years and for sure he'll tell us like Castro did. "I'M MARXISM AND LENINISM.
Sandi Trusso
@Rich – If you were educated enough to know what Communism, Marxism, Socialism are, no one would have to say exactly "who the Communists are"…… You would know by where America is being led, exactly "Who" is doing the leading!
Furthermore, if you had read excerpts from Obama's books, heard some of the "self-proclaimed" Communists he has appointed as Czars, paid attention to what his former pastor preaches under the guise of Christianity, and on and on and on and on…… You would know exactly what is going on, and where these people are coming from.
How could any thinking person be aware of those involved with above-mentioned things, and know that our President appointed a Treasurer who owed tons of back taxes (who simply forgot to pay them), therefore is either incompetent, or criminal, and then our President tried to appoint a Sec. of Health who owed tons of back taxes, and who wrote a book on bumping off people who were costing this country too much money, and on and on and on and on without realizing the corruption of this administration more than any before (and hopefully after).
Thankyou Col. West!
You're all so full of it.
Not one of you can name a name.
If you're so sure that there are "card carrying" communists in the government, NAME EVERY ONE OF THEM!
Don't tell me that I'm uneducated, name the communists, if you have the guts to, that is.
Talk is cheap, now back it up.
Oh, and I see, the Bush crew was a bunch of angels!!
Sandi Trusso
@ Rich – Van Jones, just to name one…who resigned as environmental Czar,and is still being used in an advisory capacity (but he only resigned after the people were screaming to get him out when we all found out that it was he, himself, who had stated that he is a Communist! We all heard and saw him on the video that went out across the nation.
Truthfully, anyone who believes it's the government's job to force people to buy the insurance they tell them to buy, is certainly using Communist tactics (Tom Daschle, was appointed as Health Czar, but when the people got wind of the fact that he was behind in his taxes either $40 thousand, or $140 thousand… I forgot which, but he and our US Treasurer were both guilty of not paying their taxes… Most people would've gone to prison , but they were both rewarded). Much of the policies of Obamacare is based on Daschle's book where he supports getting rid of seniors, or critically ill people who will cost the gov't too much money. The gov't has no right to make this decision… unless you're gov't is a Communist dictatorship!… and by the way Daschle is still advising as well!
You must notice that Obama did not pull these people out, it was supposedly their own choice so as not to cast darkness over what he was trying to do… and most of what he's done has been behind closed doors so the people have no clue until it's already been completed!
It's called sneaking around the back way to have your Communist policies put in place, but not known to the American people! – - Read, Rich, Read! Pull up youtube videos of Van Jones. Pull up Tom Daschle's book. Do a little research on your own before you start putting everyone (who has done their homework) down!
What communist policies are you talking about?
When they move you to your government provided apartment and give you your guaranteed job, let us know, OK?
Are you seeing the "black helicopters" circling around your home, too?
Maybe you guys all missed out on the same lessons.
Did any of you learn that the communists killed the czar?
You're repeated usage of the word "czar" to denote someone as communist leaning is inane and frankly stupidity.
If President had named someone as "Commisar" that might be a different story, but for some reason calling someone a "czar" does not sound communistic to me at all. Of course I'm not afraid of everything Hannity, Beck or O'Reilly tell me to be afraid of like you folks are.
Actually…the "Czars" were started before Obama came into office; wrong then and wrong now. What people are ignoring is that while Woodrow Wilson was a Socilist who did much damage to this country; Teddy Roosevelt was the father of "progressivism". In looking over the past 60 years: Both sides have been kicking the can down the road while playing us like a vollyball – or "harp from hell" to quote the Penquin; Czars?, how about the tax code? The purpose to fund the functions the Fed is obliged to do, not control the populace behavior; what you can do with the money after selling a house without a big chunk being confiscated by people who spend nothing in improvements; a prime example. I'll bet there is something in the tax code anyone reading this could be hammered with in just conducting normal day to day activity. No place to run from Government intrusion in you life and progressive income tax are straight out of the Communist Manifesto. Bleat "Democrats gooood – Republicans baaaad, or "Republicans gooood Democrats baaaad", like sheep all you want. I cant point to unconstitution act by any Democrat President and Republican alike…it means we have a problem.
The whole list of gongressional communists was published n his site about 2-3 weeks ago. Guess you missed it!
Al B Tross
Can you please provide a link to this list, I was all over West's site and could not find it.
Well, RICH, the Communists are basically everyone of the Czars appointed by the Dictator in chief without being vetted, to help him destroy our American way of life by expanding Government to control every aspect of our personal lives.
Our American way of life has been unsurpassed in allowing the highest Quality of life, of any other country, for as long as Americans have been living under our Constitution.
Communists are also those that get the Freebies and want to be given everything from cradle to grave without responsibility for working and paying ANY Income tax,
They are already the subjects of the Communist Dictator and his administration. They will gladly VOTE, OBEY and carry out whatever allows them to continue to get the FREE Gov't Welfare that the rest of us pay for.
Also, all the ILLEGALS that continue to flood into our country, without any real ADMINISTRATIONAL attempt to control our Borders, and who get FREE EVERYTHING as an unspoken condition for their continual illegal VOTES, the main way to expand the ADMINSTRATIONS Breadth of Power.
It will NOT continue. It will NOT happen again. People NOW SEE see the LIES and the Abuse of Power and Corruption exerted by THIS ADMINISTRATION. Is it Nov 6th yet? REMEMBER to VOTE

Someone I know just went to get un-employment insurance, and was asked to go to next room after filing..well he was given a large stack of forms to fill in. He advised clerk all he wanted was to have unemployment payment, his first. He was advised that the forms were part of his insurance. $300 per month for food assistance, healthcare benefits, gas allowance to search for job,and a package of food stamps… all on top of Normal monthly check.. no wonder no one wants to back to real work…we are being treated to the greatest socialist program since canned sex. It will last till money is worthless and taxes take all houses and bank accounts are closed. hell why have 401′s and IRA account, they will be voided.
So @ Rich: socialism works till they run out of other peoples money, per M. Thatcher.

Excuse me, Mr. West didn't have the balls to name who he believes the communists are.

http://CONGRESSMANALLENWEST bob gammell
Thanks Colonel. Keep it up.
Mr. West is a bigot with a big black chip on his shoulders that he is carrying around. There are many like him on the left and right and that's where the problem lies. What we need is for moderate sensible citizens and politicians to stand up and refute this extreme rhetoric from both sides. A true patriot would be calling for there colleagues to come together in a joint effort to find solutions to the issues confronting our country. Not work at making the divide even larger.
For what its worth
That sir is the most asinine statement that I have ever heard regarding Congressman West. I met the Congressman last summer and you could not be more hopelessly and infinitely wrong in your assessment! If he is a bigot, then what does that make you? Moronic pontifications by an obvious political illiterate will not get you much traction in this argument. Your estimate of Col West is totally illogical on every level. My suggestion is that perhaps before opining mindlessly, you take the time to understand every aspect of the man before you decide to attack him. Your posting is exactly what is expected by the lemmings on the political left and their acolytes know as "moderates". No wonder he elicits vitriol from that side of the political spectrum. As in their case, when you have no viable argument, you resort to lamest attack imaginable by calling him a bigot of all things. If he is a bigot (by whatever yardstick you are using), what does that make you? For what its worth!
At least I use my name. What's up with this "Ape" and "For What It's Worth" stuff. You folks need to come out of the closet. A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from their own or intolerant of people of different political views, etc. Reading Mr. West's comments, that is exactly what he is. Would you prefer that I say that he is intolerant of other people's political views? It seems like the word bigot hit a nerve with, what is it again, For What It's Worth. Mr. or Ms. For What It's Worth I respect your view and opinion and that of Mr. West. My point is that our leaders need to be tolerant of their colleague's opinions and political views in order to find common ground to work together to resolve the issues confronting our country. The rhetoric from Mr. West does not promote that. It not an issue of if what he is saying is correct or incorrect. My friend, if you do not understand this, before you call someone a moron, take a real good look in the mirror.
Jerry poor, poor Jerry.
Gordon Brit-Tory
Such a highly principaled and articulate man. He is a joy! The Colonel is well versed in History and Economics, too. He knows in which direction we are going…the wrong one. Correct…??! Definitely worthy of high office to ensure America gets back-on-track.
There are those who are so blind they refuse to see the truth
Earlier this a.m. I was hearing Glenn Beck say West committed political suicide by those commie comments. I disagree, Americans are fed up and want someone with real cojones speaking out on the communist we have in the WH and the others who are his lackies. We need to pound this message with the 501Cs and expose these people-not simply by name calling. It must be by their actions, votes and things they've said. That's how we're gonna take down Obama, with Obama, himself. Don't forget the Orwellian newspeak by which communism has been attempted to be concealed, often successfully for the stupid and intellectually lazy who'd rather watch TV all day long. Communism became a dirty word once the mass killings and brutal totalitarian rule was seen. So it became socialism, then liberalism and now progressivism. But it's stil the same monster. Ask the guy who was jailed for not siding his house or any land owner sued for building a house on HIS OWN land because some f***ing snail, fish or lizard poops there.
I love Allen West. The radical left is scared to death of Allen West because he is a straight shooter. People love him because he doesn't talk like the traditional politician; he talks like us. Allen West, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Larry Elder. Those are the people that black American should learn from, instead of Jesse Jackson and Al Shapton.
Robert Champion
It is very refreshing to see politician call a spade a spade and be prepared to back up his facts. Allen West has just earned a lot of points with me. He made a statement and then backed up his statement with well prepared facts. Way to go Allen West.
Al B Tross
By the commentary on this site, liberal = communist
By the same measure, conservative = Fascist
Of course, by this same measure Eisenhower, Lincoln, Nixon and Reagan were commies too. Reagan after tripling the Nat'l debt raised taxes and supported Unions, Lincoln forced employers to pay for what used to be free labor, Nixon introduced to us the EPA, and Ike warned us of the Military Industrial complex, and presided over the greatest middle class, by taxing the 1% at 65%.
Conservatism has declined into Authoritarianism, fear has trumped reason and compassion fallen to greed.
Allen West is a fear monger, and look who has taken the bait.
You mean Regan and the Air Traffic Controller's Union? Tip O'Neal agreed to spending cuts as part of the Regan plan, then blocked them; there is more to the equation people either don't know or ignore. He did threaten to pull Highway Funding for State that didn't do want he wanted as far as the drinkng age…a violation of their 10th Amendment Rights. Nixon? How do I start…price controls, EPA, taking us off the Gold Standard. I have one for all of them.

The purpose to fund the functions the Fed is obliged to do, not control the populace behavior; what you can do with the money after selling a house without a big chunk being confiscated by people who spend nothing in improvements; a prime example. I'll bet there is something in the tax code anyone reading this could be hammered with in just conducting normal day to day activity. No place to run from Government intrusion in you life and progressive income tax are straight out of the Communist Manifesto. Bleat "Democrats gooood – Republicans baaaad, or "Republicans gooood Democrats baaaad", like sheep all you want. I cant point to unconstitution act by any Democrat President and Republican alike…it means we have a problem.

"I cant point to unconstitution act by any Democrat President and Republican alike…it means we have a problem."
Did you mean to say that you CAN point to unconstitutional acts of both parties? I do agree with that. The Corporate takeover of our Political system is a travesty, I agree.
My point was to compare, and contrast the views of Conservatives through the decades of our nations history, with the views held today.
I referenced an empirical study, 30 years in the making, about Authoritarian behaviour, and it's findings about the connections between Authoritarian leaders, and the contradictory nature of the Authoritarian Personality.
American Conservatism has fallen to Authoritarian Conservatism, the evidence is clear, the methodology is the same as other Totalitarian regimes throughout history. The control of media, the xenophobia, the eliminationist rhetoric, scapegoating of minority groups, the failed economic policys that protect the wealthy to the detriment of working people and society itself.
Rick and jerry, you two are exactly what has got us into this mess. Yes, Bush made mistakes and I'm not standing up for him but with a Democrat led senate and congress since 2006 there was little he could do.
Rick, you keep spewing out Col. West is double dipping. What about Reid, Pelosi, Schumer and some of the rest of those idiots.
And you Jerry, you wouldn't know a bigot if he slapped you in the face it seems.
So shut the hell up and get your head out of your ass and start thinking for yourself. Quit letting the liberals do your thinking for you.
Now I suppose the next thing you will say is I'm prejudice against Obama because he is half black.
News Flash, I don't like his white half either.
Yeah, the others are, too, but they are not teabaggers who want to take away our benefits but not give up any of theirs.
You just don't get it. Mr. West is getting a free ride that YOU are paying for.
When he and Paul Ryan offer to lessen their retirement and retirement healthcare, then I will listen to them.
Until then, they're just riding the gravy train and telling you what you want to hear while taking the campaign contributions/bribes to keep their jobs while toeing the corporate line.
Very productive and inspiring commentary Mr. Jim!
Pingback: Red Muslim Keith Ellison On Allen West's Progressive Caucus Communist Claim "Have You No Decency?" [Bonus Video: Allen West vs Soledad OBrien]
You asked where are all the Socialists, and who in our government believes in the Socialist agenda?
When Bush was still in office, you could go to the website of the DSA (Democratic Socialist of America) which I did. The DSA is the American Branch of "The Socialist International". Listed there were about 90 members of Congress who were all Democrats. They had their names, addresses, phone numbers, and their work addresses in Washington listed as well. When the Democrats took the House and Senate, that number rose to somewhere around 140. At that time, they still had everyone listed. When now President Obama began running for office, they removed those names from their website. I am sure somewhere on the internet that information still exists. I saw it with my own eyes and sent many people to that website for them to see for themselves. Their symbol is the fist and the rose which is used by many socialist groups across Europe. I invite you to go to their website and read their mission statement and intent; then compare that to what is going on in our country today. The word "Communist" and "Socialist" have had bad connotations for most of us after President Reagan (for those of us old enough to remember). Now, "Social Democrats" call themselves "Progressives". Peter Lewis, the Billionaire former CEO and owner of "Progressive", the well known car insurance company, donated 7 million and 8 million dollars two separate years around 2003 and 2004 (I think) to the ACLU. He also joined forces with George Soros and donated several million to Mr. Soros's "Saul Alinsky" style organization "move on.org". You should read Saul Alinsky's book "Rules for Radicals", (quoted by President Obama as having a "profound influence" on his life. It is the "Bible" for Progressives to effect chaos and therefore change. I don't believe in his tactics, but he was brilliant. Read his book then watch how the Democrats destroy anyone who gets in their way with his tactics. The bottom line Rich is that the push for Socialism is everywhere. Open your eyes before it is too late and we lose the very thing that makes this country the place the rest of the world wants to come to. There is no opportunity in a Communist country, only "equality". Just ask the Russian immigrants who are recently arrived what they think of Socialism.
Name them. You all scream about "socialist" but no one has the balls to name any one of them!!
You guys just love to use these buzz words to get reactions and promote outrage. You seem to tag anyone who disagrees with you with a distasteful moniker of some sort.
It's time to realize that we are Americans, all of us and we need to stand together against the military/industrial complex who has bought our government and will destroy the middle class if left unfettered and unchecked.
The late, great General/President Eisenhower warned us of this in his farewell speech and the wise old General was right. He was a Republican who had the foresight to see how big business and the wealthy were working to help themselves and screw us.
David Van Ness
God Bless Allen West!
Isn't he FABULOUS! So well-spoken, fact-based, incontrovertable. West is a true patriot. West for VP
Allen West should definitely be considered for VP or Secretary of Defense!
Anita Dunn loves Mao.
Van Jones admits he's communist.
Google the list of admitted socialists in Congress.
You are about 90 years outdated if you are looking for cards. It's the ideas people espouse. Look up home pages of: Congressional Progressive Caucus and Communist Party USA. Their song is the same.
Read Andrew Breitbart's book for a quick update about what communism is.
Gayle Flaherty
Col. West has been school in the differences in political ideology. He stood up, in uniform, for this country for 22 years. He continues to do that. If it makes some people uncomfortable because they don't understand what a constitutional republic is, then so be it. But go do your research before you start calling Allen West all kinds of names. He's got the facts and figures.
The Fisherman
Amen,sister. As The Bard once said: " A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Col. West is obviously a man of great candor and courage. Marxism is the bitter root from which the weeds of communism and socialism both sprang. Would that more of our representatives had Col. West's sand.

Thank you, Congressman West for having the courage to brand these
traitors for what they are
the hate filled and intelligence unfilled replies are evidence of how the truth strikes home
Where do you people get off?
Just because someone has a different view of things doesn't make them evil, communist or socialist.
These are republican scare words and they sure seem to work because they have you folks scared of your own shadows.
I myself am progressive socially, but fiscally conservative. I am not communist nor socialist, but, we have bills to pay and things need to be done in this country and someone has to pay them. Where should government revenue come from? I don't like paying taxes, but as long as at least most of us are paying their fair share, it's a necessary evil if we're to maintain our status as a world leader.
It's time to close all the loopholes and make everyone, individuals and corporations, pay their share. Don't give me that tired crap about the corporations leaving, we're the #1 economy in the world and our money is what they want. However, it is time to make them act responsibly, something that republicans will never do as it will dry up their campaign contributions/bribes.
Al B Tross
American citizens with a different ideology from you are exercising their constitutional rights. That is an act of tolerance and freedom.
To deny them this free speech is the act of a traitor, not the other way 'round. To encourage them to be persecuted, economicaly or politicaly is the act of a coward.
Karl Stein
The Progressive Political Caucus has been well known in Congress for years. Many of the 90+ members declare the Communist ideology, but are too coward to declare themselves as Communist, preferring the term Socialist. Remember the Soviet Union was the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics. Unfortunately the Democratic Party took a sharp left turn and has morphed into the "Socialist" Party of the US. There may be a few "moderate or conservative" democrats legislators left, but they are intimidated by the party and afraid to stand up for themselves. The so-called moderate Democrats who support them are too blind or stupid to realize the present condition. They should be encouraging the so called few moderate Democratic legislators to stand up for this country.JFK would be called a conservative today and probably a Republican. Representative West just called attention to current condition.
"I'm calling it this," West clarified. "Communist, progressive, Marxist, statist, another term being used: So Congressman West is saying yes when asked if he means the memebers of the Progessive Caucus are Communists; in telling the interviewer to refer to that list. He is also saying all the lables listed about all mean the same thing. I someone doesn't believe itor agree… oh well, he answered the question.

All this blabber about what is communism or socialism or progressiveness is just for the stupid people who do not know what history teaches..Stalin, Hitler Pol Pot, etc, etc. We the People are just in their way and we can be killed anytime it suit THEIR PURPOSE. All the czars did it and none survive for long. We have endured attacks before, but this time we have a real loser leading the pack and they have been preparing for this for a long time. No wonder they voted themselves payment for life to be elected to house or senate, now they can continue forever leaching on us, till they dominate US. Sen. Dashel was working healthcare bill for years, just waiting for obummeeerree to get in….happy
BS. Next the guns, then the resistance will be limited, they think…we are the most well armed group in the world a nd comprise the largest reserve standing army of the world. Forget it not when this November we can show them all the door. The list in Apr 20-th post is noted. Thank you Al/

As someone with a pocket copy of the Constitution I carry around with me, I'd be interested in hearing answers on several things,
1). Where in the Constitution does it say that the donation of money by ANYONE equates to "freedom of speech"?
2) Where in the Constitution does it say that corporations and groups, (unions, NRA, AARP, etc.,), have the same rights as individual citizens?
3). Where in the Constitution does it say that the Supreme Court has the authority to determine the "constitutionality of laws" and overturn/adjust those it finds "unconstitutional"?
4). Where in the Constitution does it refer to God" as "Jesus"?
All of that said, I'll answer my own questions,(for all of you "pretend conservatives",[who think that Reagan was a "good conservative President" - a man who NEVER balanced a budget as a governor OR President!],….NO WHERE!!!)..The last REALLY good President was Ike!!…A Republican, (and the last one!!), who actually balanced a budget, but also warned us of the "rise and power of the military/industrial complex", which controls WAY MORE of what we do every day than a few misguided "quasi-socialists" in Congress!!
And as to Teddy Roosevelt being a "progressive/socialist/communist"? That is rather interesting, from the position of a man such as Col. West!…Roosevelt was lambasted and reviled by many "conservatives of that time", for inviting the first EVER black man to dinner at the White House, who was not there TO SERVE the guests! Without TR, Col. West would be bringing drinks to the members of Congress, instead of providing cogent, but certainly, absurdly alarmist viewpoints to us all! Oh, and by the way, I ALSO honorably served my country and believe that Jesus is God, but am actually a REAL conservative, and not one of these Dick Cheney, lock-step "neo-cons"!!…

Criminal Justice
Federal Judge in Texas is Indicted in Employee Sex Abuse Case
Posted Aug 28, 2008 6:40 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A federal district judge in Texas was indicted today on charges of abusive sexual contact and aggravated sexual abuse, based on complaints made by his former case manager.
The federal case against U.S. District Judge Samuel Kent is unique, and also represents the first time in recent years that a Texas judge has been indicted, reports the Houston Chronicle.
A lawyer for Kent tells the newspaper that he is innocent of the charges against him, and promises that the case will go to trial.
Meanwhile, his accuser, Cathy McBroom, who is referred to as "Person A" in the indictment, expressed satisfaction in a written statement, the Chronicle reports:
"After a very difficult 17 months, I feel like I have finally been validated. I have listened and read with horror as Judge Kent's lawyer suggested that what happened to me was 'enthusiastically consensual,' " she writes. "I am relieved to find that even federal judges are not above the law, and that sexual abuse in the workplace is never acceptable, no matter the status of the offender."
However, the same claim was repeated today by Kent's counsel, Dick DeGuerin, who also contended that McBroom complained about the judge to divert attention from a mistake she allegedly made at work that could have gotten her fired, the newspaper reports.
"To charge Judge Kent of conduct of which he is absolutely innocent based on this kind of flimsy evidence is inexcusable and we will fight it to the bitter end," DeGuerin tells the Chronicle.
A copy of the indictment (PDF) is provided by the newspaper.

The Kurdish Globe
At a recent conference, the Director of the Kurdistan Region's Council of Ministers Nechirvan Ahmed welcomed the French Ambassador to Iraq, Denys Gauer, and the French Consul General in Erbil, Dr. Frederick Tissot.
At the beginning of the meeting Ahmed expressed his gratitude towards Gauer and Tissot for their visit and highlighted the importance of the relationships between the Kurdistan Region and France.
Ahmed talked about the vital role of France in supporting the Kurdish nation at the beginning of the 1991 revolution and in its efforts in the decree of resolution number 688 of the United Nations Security Council and the subsequent no-flight zone, which sheltered the Kurdistan Region from attacks and bombardments of Saddam Hussein's regime.
The KRG official stated that his government attaches a high level of significance to its relations with European countries, especially France and is willing to expand its relations in all aspects, with both parties help in achieving this goal.
"That is why KRG is determined to provide any kind of assistance and facilitation for the strengthening of bilateral ties including economic, trade, educational, agricultural, tourist and cultural aspects," said Ahmed during the meeting.
Ambassador Gauer expressed his happiness about the improvements in the relations between the KRG and his government and the inflow of French businessmen and investors into the Kurdistan Region markets for investment in various sectors, especially where the region needs further investment, in order to have the most effective participation in the development process of Kurdistan.
Another issue discussed between the French and Kurdish officials in the meeting was that the French Consulate General in Erbil is currently preparing itself to be able to issue visas directly in Erbil for businessmen and people of the region, as another step towards improving relations between the two governments and their people.
The French Ambassador stated that this will facilitate the travel of those Kurdish citizens who want to travel to France and other European countries for business or other purposes.
At the end of the meeting, the two parties signed an agreement according to which the KRG will construct a building for the French Cultural Institute in the Regional Capital of Erbil. This project is implemented under the direct auspices of the Region's Prime Minster Nechirvan Barzani.

Appeal planned in "stupid fat Australian" case
A British woman found guilty of racially aggravated public disorder after calling her New Zealand neighbour a "stupid, fat Australian" plans to appeal her fine.
THE Czech-British woman found guilty of racial abuse last week after calling her New Zealander neighbour a "stupid, fat Australian" has told Australian Times that she plans to appeal her conviction.
Macclesfield Magistrates Court, Cheshire, heard that Petra Mills and Chelsea O'Reilly, a New Zealander with dual British/New Zealand citizenship, had been neighbours for over 18 months prior to the incident, which began when Mills called the police as the result of a domestic dispute with her husband.
Police arrested Mills' husband and took a statement from O'Reilly in relation to the complaint, at which point Mills approached O'Reilly and branded her a "stupid, fat Australian". Mills has denied that the insult was racially aggravated, and has insisted that she harbours no ill feelings towards Australians or New Zealanders.
Mills told the court: "I shouted at her, but it had nothing to do with racism. I did not use the word "Australian". I used to live with an Australian person, she was very nice."
O'Reilly told the court that she believed Mills' prior knowledge of her New Zealand nationality proved that erroneously labelling her an 'Australian' was an insult purposefully designed as a hurtful slur.
"She called me a stupid, fat Australian b****. Because of my accent there can be some confusion. She knew I was from New Zealand. She was trying to be offensive. I was really insulted," O'Reilly said.
Police at the scene who witnessed the incident told the court they heard Mills say the word "Australian".
Mills was fined £110 for racially aggravated public disorder, £200 for assault and £500 in court costs. She was also order to pay £50 in compensation to each of the two police officers assaulted in the process of her arrest.
Chairman of the bench, Brian Donohue, held the term "Australian" was used in a racially aggravated way.
"The main reason it was used was in hostility", the court held.
Mills told Australian Times that she could not believe the global response that the case has attracted in the aftermath of her conviction.
"The court case has proved disappointing for myself (sic) and my family. Most of the reports that have been quoted lack a disturbing amount of facts," she said.
"This case is going to be appealed due to the sheer fact that it is not justice."
Mills conviction has sparked debate throughout the British, Australian and New Zealand media in regards to whether the term "Australian" could be used in a racially abusive manner. Mills' appeal is set to test the United Kingdom's strict racial vilification legislation and determine the manner in which racial aggravation can be measured in assault cases.

This is the funniest thing I've ever heard. She's not too bothered about being called "fat" and "stupid" but an "Aussie" that's way below the belt. Until I moved to Britain I never really knew about the dislike Kiwis often have for Aussies. It's a bit like the Canadian/US thing I suppose. People here always ask what my accent is because apparently Kiwis get upset if you confuse them with Australians. It's a funny old world
She should feel honoured to be called an Aussie! What a joke, she should move to the US if she's going to be that sensitive to PC bollocks!
What is this world coming to…

Here is an official report from the Valdosta Police Department-
In regards to the bank robbery on August 2, 2011 at Certus Bank, Valdosta Police Department Detectives are looking for three suspects, two male Caucasians and one female Caucasian.
No other physical description is available at this time as the suspects were mostly concealed.
However, the vehicle believed to be used by the suspects is described a white sedan type car. It is possible that this is a four door vehicle.
Witnesses described the vehicle as having a front and back license plate of varying colors. Attached to this release are three photographs of the vehicle believed to be occupied by the suspects.
One photograph was captured by surveillance video prior to the incident as it traveled from behind the Sam's Club area toward the bank with an enhancement photograph and the third photograph is the vehicle driving south on Norman Drive towards Hill Avenue as it passes by Sam's Club gas pumps after the robbery occurred.
Additional surveillance video from various businesses is being examined by detectives in efforts to determine direction of travel from the intersection of Hill Avenue and Norman Drive. The Valdosta Police Department is working with the Federal Bureau of Investigations on this incident.
Anyone having any further information regarding this crime or any other crime is urged to contact the Valdosta Police Department at 229-293-3145 or can remain anonymous at 229-293-3091.

iPhone 5 to Lumia 920
So after being an iPhone owner since the first generation of iPhone, I think it's time to try something new. Since I really don't like Android, I'm considering the Nokia Lumia 920. I played around with the phone a bit at the Microsoft store and I like it. That being said, I'm still a little worried about the lack of apps and overall change from iOS to Windows Phone 8. I'm an Apple guy and I feel like this is going to take a lot of getting used to.
I figured members of the "Microsoft Tribe" could help me out a bit. What am I lacking/gaining from switching to Windows Phone 8 from iOS. How well is the phone going to play with my Mac?
Thanks guys.

Video: Yngwie Malmsteen Performs "Adagio"/"Far Beyond the Sun" in Chile
November 14, 2013 at 3:03pm
Patented Malmsteen.
I swear though, he's trying too hard. Those are such great tunes he need not try to see how many notes he can squeeze in. It really rather detracts from them.
Undenyably a wizard, though.
The Shred King ...

guitar tone is fantastic and Far Beyond The Sun is a classic!

Students in a culinary class at Woodville-Thompkins are helping volunteers prepare Thanksgiving dinner for the working poor and homeless. They started cooking on Nov. 14 and will finish on Nov. 16.
Students are preparing the meals for Feed the Hungry, which will serve four Thanksgiving dinners. Feed the Hungry will be serving dinner in Savannah on November.
"A lot of them have been expressing the idea that they've never been able to do turkey, to actually prep turkey from beginning to end and a lot of them are excited that they will be able to go home and actually cook their thanksgiving turkey this year," said Carl Bosier, a teacher at Woodville-Thompkins.

As allied forces make gains against hardline Islamic forces of al-Shabaab, Somalia's Bay region has become a hot spot for battles, with it's strategic capital, Baidoa, now in the hands of forces from Somalia's Transitional Federal Government and Ethiopia. To learn more about the political and military reality in the region, Somalia Report journalist Leila Aden interviewed TFG chairman in Bay region, Abdifatah Ibrahim Gesey.
Honorable Abdifatah Gesey, thanks for giving this exclusive interview to Somalia Report. Briefly tell us about the political landscape of the region and in particular Baidoa?
Thanks. The political condition of the region is secure despite the fact that there are some disturbing elements that al-Shabaab remnants are trying to cause havoc in the town. Nonetheless, I can assure you that everything is stable and going in the right manner.
There have been a number of pre-planned attacks that have occurred in the town since you took over the administration. Can you please comment on the nature of these attacks?
I know and am aware about this, but I can assure you and the people here that we have taken measures to curb and prevent such kind of attacks. I urge that the residents to report suspicious element so that we can take action against them accordingly.
There have been remarkable achievements as far territorial gains are concerned in recent weeks. Can you tell us the next step?
Although I do not want to discuss our military plans with media, in near future we will ensure that the Islamists are no longer in the region. I can assure you that we have tightened the security in the areas we control.
What is the mood of the people in Bay region now that al-Shabaab has been kicked out of many villages and towns?
Thanks for asking me such this essential question. It is the nature of the TFG forces whenever they capture a region to allow people to live freely and carry out their business and have social interaction without fear. Our brave forces will continue to ensure that people in Bay region are safe. During the dark times when the extremists were controlling the region, they used to restrict and punish innocent people without reason. We have really received a cordial welcome from Bay residents and they are now feeling freedom.
Residents have been complaining about brutal harassment being subjected by TFG forces and there have been many arrests. What can you say about this?
It is true that TFG forces carried out some simple exercises and operations whose main objective was to restore law and order and limit the insecurity, but that does not mean we treat them badly. We are here to serve them and guarantee their security.
What tangible evidence can you tell us that Bay residents are fully supporting your mission to get rid of al-Shabaab?
You can just ask any independent source to give comments pertaining our administrative policy and I am sure they will give you positive comments and it goes without saying that they are enjoying their fundamental rights denied to them by the insurgents.
People have been lacking basic services including medical services since al-Shabaab suspended aid agencies in one way or the other. What have you done about this?
We have liberated the militia group of al-Shabaab from most of the region and also created a conducive atmosphere for non-government organizations (NGOs) willing to continue their work here. Once more, I invite the NGOs to come back and continue providing their services to the Somali people.
Is your administration planning to create job opportunities for the young generation in the region?
Yes, this is one of my first priorities and I hope some of young men who were misled by al-Shabaab will return and surrender to TFG for the job opportunities I am promising to provide to my people.
Do you know exactly where al-Shabaab forces are in the region?
No, really because there is no specific area they stay now. They move to different areas to hide themselves in the forests, but our forces are after them and soon will reach even where their top leaders are hiding.
Any additional message that you want to convey to the people of Bay region?
Yes. I would like to encourage the people of the region to make use of this opportunity and try to enhance their economic capacity by investing in all available opportunities. I also encourage them to consider peace and harmony as their first priority and to report any suspicious activities. With your support, we can take effective action against anyone caught under such scenarios. I also remind them to consider our armies as an integral part of their lives and work with them where necessary.
Thank you, Honorable Abdifatah Ibrahim Gesey, for giving this opportunity to Somalia Report.
Thank you.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WDRB) -- It is an e-commerce powerhouse, and it is right here in Louisville at the Jefferson Riverport International. CafePress is having a very good 2012 and is poised for more growth in 2013.
"This is the busiest time of the year and in fact, you've arrived at the busiest day of the year," CafePress CEO Bob Marino told WDRB News on Friday.
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, CafePress will produce and ship more than a million customized products all over the world from its Riverport operation, everything from T-shirts to personalized calendars.
"We ourselves don't design the products, our customers do," explains Marino, "and because our customers do, they are very excited and passionate about the products we create, because they brought that passion to it, and we are just a partner to them, and we get a lot of accolades for doing that."
The latest accolade came earlier this week when CafePress was selected as the large company of the year in Louisville by Business First. It came out on top of such well known companies as GE and Kindred Healthcare.
2012 has been a very busy year for Marino, who explains, "We made two acquisitions this year, we took the company public, and we moved our headquarters from California to the Bluegrass State, we are so pleased to have done that."
Marino says those acquisitions will mean more jobs coming to the Louisville operation. "Next year is going to be a big year for us because we are going to be bringing operations from other states to Louisville," he says.
CafePress says it helps its workers to quickly become skilled at their jobs. "All of the software at CafePress is designed to make it easy for the worker to come in and pick up the computer and begin working right away," says senior engineer Chris Freeman.
Currently there are 400 permanent workers at CafePress, with another 700 seasonal ones.
Marino says Louisville and Kentucky are good places to operate an e-commerce company. "I hope that what we've done by coming here," says Marino, "and becoming the first publicly traded e-commerce company headquartered in this state, I hope that others follow suit."
He credits the fact that the UPS Air Hub is in Louisville with a big part of the decision to bring the CafePress operation to the city.
During the next two years CafePress expects to hire 200 additional workers at its Louisville operation.
The company is receiving incentives from the state to bring additional jobs to the region.

Episode 1 of 4
Duration: 59 minutes
Vladimir Putin, after eight years as president of Russia and four more as prime minister, is stubbornly holding onto power. He has announced his intention to return as president and declared his party the winner in parliamentary elections that are widely seen as fraudulent. In Moscow 100,000 protesters have taken to the streets in the largest demonstrations since Putin took office.
Putin began his career as a KGB spy but when he became president, he made himself a valued ally of the West. How did he do it? And what made Washington and London turn against him?
This four-part series is made by Norma Percy and the team at Brook Lapping with a track record for getting behind closed doors with multi-award-winning series like The Death of Yugoslavia, The Second Russian Revolution, and Iran and the West. For the first time Putin's top colleagues - and the Western statesmen who eventually clashed with him - tell the inside story of one of the world's most powerful men.
In this episode, George W Bush meets Putin in June 2001 and declares he looked him in the eye and 'got a sense of his soul'. Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice recall their discomfort. But Rice, the only Bush adviser in the private talks, reveals that, three months before 9/11, Putin gave Bush a prophetic warning about Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Taliban. After 9/11, Putin describes how he convinced his shocked colleagues that Russia should align with the West. Sergei Ivanov, Russian's defence minister, tells how the Taliban secretly offered to join forces with Russia against America.

Summer is over...
by Melissa Leonard, Gleim CMA Product Manager
Summer is over, and the new IMA Chapter year is starting. All the excuses for why you don't have time to study have now gone back to school. No more summer vacations, family gatherings, or beautiful summer days to distract you from your professional goals.
What can a CMA certification do for you?
First, passing the CMA exam is a huge personal achievement. It takes a lot of discipline and dedication to study after work and sit through an examination. But, once you've conquered the first part of the exam, your momentum will carry you through the remaining part. You will feel on top of the world when you have completed both parts. This positive attitude will manifest itself in both your personal and professional endeavors.
Second, it will generate many professional opportunities. Preparing for and passing the CMA exam will increase your professional knowledge, skills, and abilities, thereby rendering your services and expertise more productive and valuable.
Third, your commitment and drive will not go unnoticed. The ambition and work ethic that is required to attain a certification while also balancing professional and personal responsibilities demonstrates to your supervisors the energy and determination that you possess, not to mention the new skills you have attained. Even if your employer does not acknowledge your certification directly, they will notice your hard work, effort, and refinement of skills.
The IMA reports that those who are certified increase their career earnings by approximately $500,000. It's a great investment to your professional career!
Gleim is committed to helping you accomplish your goal of passing the exam and becoming a CMA. Your Austin IMA Chapter has partnered with Gleim to ensure your success on the CMA exam! Working together, we will provide you the necessary tools to prepare for this difficult exam.
As an Austin Chapter member, you receive significant discounts on the Gleim CMA Review materials and Gleim CPE. Contact Melissa Leonard at 800.874.5346 ext. 131 or firstname.lastname@example.com to take advantage of the offer or if you have any questions.
Do you have feedback on what you have read or suggestions on future topics? Maybe you are studying for the exam or have recently passed and want to share tactics you used. Email Gleim at email@example.com with your comments.
Steps to Become a CMA!
by Melissa Leonard, Gleim Chapter Coordinator
You are considering taking the CMA Exam because of its increasing importance in today's business world. Successful completion of the exam will provide you more professional opportunities with an increase in compensation. But where do you go from there?
Making the decision to take the CMA Exam and planning a successful outcome requires a strategic plan. Research the pros and cons, the cost and benefits, where, how, and when. Once all the information is gathered, implement your plan.
First, become knowledgeable about the CMA Exam. Research the exam, including content, schedules, fees, where and how it is administered, grading, and pass rates. These are essential components of your plan to pass the CMA Exam. Gleim has created the CMA Review: A System for Success (https://www.gleim.com/accounting/systemforsuccess/cma/), a 75-page booklet designed to answer all these questions for you.
Second, purchase your CMA Review materials. Third, develop a study plan. Planning for study time and establishing manageable goals are important steps in maintaining focus and staying confident. Putting it on paper enables you to visualize what you have to do each week and to see what you have already accomplished.
Fourth, take the plunge! You have decided the CMA Exam is the right designation for you, gathered information, bought your review materials, and developed your plan with manageable goals. These steps will put you on the path to successfully preparing for and passing the CMA Exam.
Share your success! Maybe you have already passed the CMA Exam and would like to share with others the tactics you used to pass. Email Melissa Leonard at email@example.com with your questions and feedback.

Stick to the Schedule
by Melissa Leonard, Gleim Chapter Coordinator
Our most successful candidates have found that they pass the exam with less time and effort if they develop a study plan before they start preparing and stick to it. They evaluate their resources, consider factors that may influence their available study time, and then formulate a schedule.
Without a schedule, you cannot allocate your valuable time when the unexpected comes up. Your study schedule is your game plan!
The first step is to examine your current situation. Write down how many hours each week you spend at school or work. If you are a student, how many hours a week do you allocate to studying? How much time do you require for sleeping, eating, grooming, exercising, commuting, and playing?
Set up a study schedule with the time remaining. Keep in mind that you must make sacrifices during exam preparation. Thus, you will probably have to curtail leisure activities. But if you make the necessary effort, you will have to restrict your normal lifestyle in this way just once and not have to retake the exam. Make your study schedule work for you. While some people can only study for a short time, others like to study for hours. The best plan is to study for several hours each day of the week.
Another consideration in developing your schedule is the time of day to study. Some people like to get up early and study 4 am -6 am, while others prefer the evenings. Pick the time when you are most productive. The more efficient and productive your preparation is, the less time you will have to spend studying.
Once you have a plan that meets your needs, you need to stick to it with discipline and determination. One effective way is to start and complete a Gleim study unit every two days if you are preparing to take two parts within four months. You may never be completely satisfied with your preparations, but you must stay focused and on schedule.
Share your success! I would like to hear how you passed the CMA Exam. Email Melissa Leonard at firstname.lastname@example.com with your questions and feedback.
Practice Like you Play
by Melissa Leonard, Gleim Chapter Coordinator
This month's column can be summarized with the sports phrase, "Practice like you play." Coaches are always telling athletes to approach practice as if it were a game. In the late 1990s, Roy Williams-the current UNC basketball coach and winner of the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship-gave a speech in which he talked about how one of his former players was drafted by the Chicago Bulls and was in awe at how hard Michael Jordan practiced, including during preseason workouts. Apparently, Jordan did everything at 100% full speed, during both games and when "just practicing," which is probably why he's widely considered the greatest basketball player ever. How YOU practice with CMA questions carries over much the same when it comes to your "game-time" exam performance.
Sean Gaffney, the Johnson & Johnson Gold Medal Award Winner for the highest exam score, illustrates the success candidates have when they practice like they play in an exam environment. Sean is only one example of how for over 30 years Gleim has helped candidates succeed in their careers by passing these difficult exams and becoming certified.
Many of our successful candidates who have passed the CMA exam suggest that other candidates study by taking quizzes straight through without stopping and without distraction. They mention that, based on their experiences with effective study methods, it is important to not look at the answer explanations until after all questions are answered. This advice is worth taking because on the actual exam, candidates will not get immediate feedback.
The Gleim CMA Review System assists you in forcing yourself to commit to your answer choice before looking at answer explanations (and therefore preparing under true exam conditions). We have found that people have a much higher pass rate when they take 20-question quizzes or practice the essay questions while simulating exam conditions than when they regularly answered practice questions at a coffee shop or in front of the TV. If you study in a distracting environment, you will not be used to concentrating on answering a large chunk of questions without having some sort of external stimulation (i.e., distraction) when exam time comes, and you will likely be less successful.
Test-taking requires stamina build-up just as sports do. Therefore, you should approach answering every CMA question as if you're taking the actual exam at Prometric. Remember - practice like you play!
I would like to hear from you. Share your success story of how you passed the CMA Exam with me. Email Melissa Leonard at email@example.com with your questions and feedback.

Poured from tap into a 12oz glass. Pours a light yellow color with a small head.
Nice aromatics of bannanas, some spices and cloves. It is lacking some depth, but the aromas are nice and light.
Lighter bodies with a nice feel. Balanced with notes of bannanas and cloves.
Not the most complex beer, but an enjoyable one. This would've been great to have over the summer.

3.4/5 rDev -6.3%
Served in a sampler glass at the brewpub.
What part of pulled pork sandwich for lunch doesn't scream "Try a new hefe while you're at it"? This one (hefe, that is) pours a cloudy sunset straw topped by over a finger of white foam. The nose comprises bready cracked wheat, soft banana, light clove, and some very light orange peel. The taste brings in more of the same, with less of that bready quality, a touch of black pepper, a slightly stronger sense of orange peel, and a stronger banana vein running through the background proceedings. The body is a hefty light, with a very light moderate carbonation and a sorta/kinda grainy feel. Overall, this is the epitome of a solid hefe: It's not great; it's tasty, but I'd rather have several others before this one.

4/5 rDev +10.2%
On-tap at Haymarket. Served in a 4oz taster glass.
A - White foam settles to a thin cap, leaving splotchy lace behind. Hazy orange creamsicle body with a nice glow to it.
S - Lots of banana, light clove, slightly phenolic, chaffed wheat - all the typical Hefeweizen flavors are present. Pleasant balance and potency.
T - More wheat and clove here, with lighter notes of bubblegum and banana in the periphery. No obvious alcohol, and fairly refreshing.
M - Medium-light body, with medium carbonation, a grainy wheat-heavy texture, and a crisp and clean finish.
D - It's a good hefeweizen, and quite authentic in it's restraint and balance of flavors. Apparently this uses Weihenstephaner yeast which doesn't surprise me at all. I'd certainly order this again if I were in a light summer mood, although it seems oddly mistimed coming out during Oktoberfest.
