By John Kell
Moody's Investors Service is taking a more bullish view on the U.S. packaged-foods industry to positive, projecting expanding gross margins due to higher prices and falling input costs.
The ratings firm expects the industry's operating income will rise 6% to 8% over the next 12 to 18 months, better than the prior forecast of 4% to 6% growth. The outlook for the sector was raised to positive from stable.
"Branded food makers will expand their gross margin as higher pricing prompted by the 2012 drought complements falling input prices," wrote Brian Weddington, a Moody's vice president and senior credit officer.
Moody's listed General Mills Inc. (GIS), Hershey Co. (HSY) and Flowers Foods Inc. (FLO) among the best positioned, saying those three companies were likely to report operating earnings growth "near the top end" of Moody's range.
Others will face more challenges coaxing growth out of their mature core businesses, Moody's warned, as they also focus on paying down debt from acquisitions. Firms among that group include ConAgra Foods Inc. (CAG), Campbell Soup Co. (CPB) and Kellogg Co. (K).
Broadly, Moody's said private-label foods should again gain market share, as retailers aim to offer consumers more value-priced products that are equivalent to branded foods.
And while the industry's sales are projected to rise 3% to 4% over the next 12 to 18 months, Moody's listed some concerns. They include higher payroll taxes and a slow-growing U.S. economy, hindering consumer spending.
Shares of packaged-foods companies have broadly outperformed the stock market's gain in 2013.

John- I have read the Cox will but that does not clarify the birthdate of the Agnes who married Samuel Rice. According to the Rice Bible, Agnes was born May 19, 1748 and died April 29, 1774. Yet, everywhere you see that Agnes who married Samuel was born 1736 or so. The Bible is still in the Rice family through Samuel's 3rd wife Sarah Stratton and safely kept in the home of a grgranddaughter in LA. My question remains...did Hezekiah and wife have a daughter named Agnes who died, then another girl ten years later was named Agnes??? Tis a puzzlement!

Report: Google's YouTube To Offer Streaming Pay-Per-View Hollywood Rentals
Google plans pay-per-view films from the Financial Times reports Google is in talks with several major Hollywood film companies to offer a pay-per-view service of their films.
Reports say that the streaming movie service from YouTube will bring these movies to online consumers at about $5 per movie. The movies would not download to the user's computer, but rather stream as they watch it. They will also become available typically around the same time the movie comes out on DVD and other competing services such as Apple's iTunes store and Amazon.com.
The Financial Times says Google hopes to launch this by the end of 2010.
I should note that Google Video rolled out an online video purchase and rental service. It closed that abruptly in August 2007 and offered $5 in Google Checkout credit to customers.

Hollywood Theaters, the eighth largest movie theater chain in the U.S., has entered into an agreement with National CineMedia (NCM) for the installation of equipment to show pre-show advertising, alternative events such as The Metropolitan Opera and concert events, as well as meeting and event services.
Hollywood Theater locations in 15 states, including Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia, are included in this deal.
NCM has made similar deals with AMC Entertainment, Cinemark, Regal Entertainment, Kerasotes ShowPlace Theatres, Marcus Theatres, and others. According to their press release, NCM states that it is the largest digital video and satellite distribution network in the U.S.
The upside to this news for those of you with Hollywood Theaters locations in your area is that you will have access to the alternative programming like the Met Opera and various concerts. The downside is that if your favorite Hollywood Theater wasn't showing pre-show advertising before, they will be starting soon.

NorthStar Solutions, LLC in Home & Hobby / Personal Finance
This easy-to-use program will save you countless time and hassle by determining how much of a loan you are qualified for BEFORE you ever have to fill out a loan application. It uses the guidelines set forth by the Federal National Mortgage Association (a.k.a. Fannie Mae) to determine the loan amount you are qualified for. In fact, the Fannie Mae Guidelines are likely the same ones your lending company is using. Mortgage Prelude will make the process of obtaining a loan as easy and quick as possible for you. Whether you want to compute your monthly payments, determine the amount of interest you will pay, estimate your total closing costs, generate an amortization schedule, or you want to go a step further and analyze what type of loan you can realistically apply for, the program will conveniently guide you through the process. The pre-qualification system built into Mortgage Prelude is accurate because there is a strong chance that your lender will want to have the option of selling your mortgage on what is called the secondary market for mortgages. (In fact, many lenders will have your loan sold before you make your first mortgage payment.) The two largest buyers of loans on the secondary market for mortgages are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and, thus, those two entities generally set the standards for home loans. Thusly, your lender will likely want to make sure that the loan they give you fits the industry standards so that they can sell your loan. Although there are many applicable guidelines, probably the most important are what are called the "Qualifying Ratios" (which are computed and displayed on Mortgage Prelude's main screen). Right away you can not only see how much your monthly payment will be, how much interest you will pay, and all the other common information associated with home loan calculations; but you will actually see whether or not you qualify for the loan according to current Fannie Mae Guidelines.
This free mortgage payment calculator for Windows allows you to quickly calculate mortgage loan payments. Free Mortgage Payment Calculator is a financial calculator designed for Windows 2000, XP and Vista .... Free download of Free Mortgage Payment Calculator 4.5.1

Day 2: Yukon River Quest
With Day 2 completed of the 13th annual Yukon River Quest, paddlers are eager to get to the finish line in Dawson City over the next few days. The race route, all told, is 460 miles.
Day 1: Yukon River Quest
It is a cool, overcast morning (12 degrees C) and paddlers are slowly making their way to the edge of the Yukon River with boats in tow. By 11:30 a.m. yesterday, June 29, the banks are packed—support crews, boats, fans and officials—for the start of the 13th annual Yukon River Quest, a 460 mile (740km) paddle down the Yukon River.
Golden Child
The 2011 International Canoe Federation Freestyle Kayak World Championships could be called Dane's party, as U.S. 17-year-old paddler Dane Jackson was not only the first and only person to ever compete in all four freestyle disciplines, but also took top honors in three of the four. The Tennessee teen also won bronze in the other.
Smoke on the Water: FIBArk in Photos
The 63rd annual edition of the FIBArk Whitewater Festival went down over the weekend in Salida, Colo., with a multitude of events on and off the water. By Sunday afternoon, we learned from the New Belgium beer vendors that festival goers had ghosted some 100 kegs of beer and another vendor nearby at the downtown park, the festival's HQ, had sold some 700 to 800 roasted turkey legs.
Temagami Canoe Country
ear-mutiny comes on Day Three of an early-season canoe trip in the wilds of northeastern Ontario. We came to Temagami, a 6,000 square-mile canoe-tripping paradise, to visit a lake that was named after my great-grandfather over a century ago. Marooned on icebound Smoothwater Lake, it's painfully clear we're not going to make it to Mihell Lake.
Surf's Up: Glenwood Springs
There will be grass skirts, leis and luaus, Hawaiian beer—Primo, is the official beer sponsor—and of course a whole lot of surfing on some of the heaviest water ever seen in western Colorado. Flows at the Glenwood Springs, Colo., play park wave hit unprecedented levels this week—geese, apparently, can surf 25,000-plus cfs, no worries—but then again the park has only been around since March 2008.
Forest Alchemist
TOM BYERS' DARK, DUSTY CANOE WORKSHOP IS CLUTTERED WITH EVERYTHING EXCEPT POWER TOOLS. The accomplished backwoods builder shapes immaculate birchbark craft by axe, knife, awl, and bit brace. Hundreds of feet of peeled jack pine roots join the pieces, all products of the northern forest-birchbark skin, white cedar ribs and sheathing, spruce gum-steeped in the indigenous heritage of this centuries-old alchemy.
Teva Mountain Games: Kayak Freestyle
The traveling carnival that is freestyle kayaking pulled into Vail, Colo., over the weekend for the 10th annual Teva Mountain Games. Emily Jackson—no surprise here—captured her seventh-straight TMG kayak freestyle title, while the other Jacksons—Emily's dad, Eric, and brother, Dane—settled for second and third place in the men's finals on Saturday behind Colorado paddler Dustin Urban…
Ellesmere Island Update: Eureka!
We have been traveling really well so far. We have skied about 380 miles in 23 days—we could not have asked for better ice conditions thus far. Lots of adverse and dramatic weather: Really hot, then really cold, etc. We really have to be ready to throw on different layers all day long depending on what the polar environment gives us.
Postcards, Part III
—A little context from C&K's 2011 issue of Whitewater, now available on newsstands: "Lowdown: Cody Howard and company return for unfinished business from 2009's The Risen Sun, hoping to knock off some firsts near Minikami, north-central Japan's creekboating hub, as well as help the local paddling community's rebuilding efforts following the devastating March earthquake and […]
Jackson clan claiming wins
From his unmistakeable RV on the banks of Utah's Green River, getting ready for yet another freestyle competition, Eric Jackson just received word that his son Dane had just won the progressive six-stage Whitewater Grand Prix event in Quebec. "Pretty cool that in a competition that's set up in a way to separate the men from the boys, that a 17-year-old won it," E.J. said.
Gallery: Raft Nationals
Photos by Adam Elliott With the right to claim the "U.S. team" title up for grabs, both of the men's and the women's reigning national raft teams defended their long-standing positions as the country's top R-6 race squads at this weekend's Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival outside Portland, Oregon. The festival, celebrating its 28th year, had […]
First Descent of the Barranca de Piaxtla
The run started calmly enough with some Class III and Class IV rapids. Then it transitioned to Class V with some runnable whitewater, but lots of portages. We encountered some great rapids, amazing scenery and a gorgeous un-runnable falls. We only had a half-day of paddling, due to the morning's preparations, but found a great spot for camping at 6 p.m. and we were all in good spirits for the beginning of our adventure.
Cranking: Northwest Creeking Competition
Name a steep creek competition after the "Northwest," a region known for capricious weather and copious precipitation, and it should be no surprise when river levels skyrocket overnight. Still, waking up to three times as much water flowing through the narrow gorges on the East Fork of the Lewis River elicited surprise—and trepidation—from most competitors.
Korbulic Nails Toketee Falls' First Descent
4.17.11, ~2:30 p.m. Toketee Falls, on the North Umpqua River in southern Oregon, has only had more than ~75 cfs five times in the last year, because of an antiquated hydro-power diversion. I was planning on paddling somewhere else when I woke up in the morning, but looked at flows after a night of rain and saw the gauge above Toketee at ~250 and going up slowly.
High Water Ready
Stoke your snowmelt plans with a gallery extra from C&K/Middle Fork River Expeditions peak Salmon run
March Madness in NorCal
Oh spring, glorious spring! On April 1 the California Department of Water Resources reported that the Shasta River Basin was showing 199 percent of its average snowpack. At the end of March, Northstar-at-Tahoe reported 42 feet of snow—the ski resort's snowiest winter in 25 years. Most whitewater paddlers are frothing over the length and potential of this fresh season with the amount of precipitation feeling borderline biblical.

Crusader Kings II has much-needed tutorial mode now
I'm a typical Steam user, in that I have purchased countless games I've barely had to time to play. One of them is Crusader Kings II, an addictive grand strategy game with several RPG elements. In this game, you take the role of a medieval ruler trying to set up a powerful dynasty. Since the more »
Massive Chalice Preview: I'm no better than the Cadence
Throughout Massive Chalice, players are repeatedly told of the Cadence's evil.

Beyond Earth mods bring Alpha Centauri back
When people heard Firaxis Games was working on a futuristic version of Sid Meier's Civilization, hopes were high. After all, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri was a legendary game that incorporated many ideals and concepts from the Civilization series while also remaining distinct. Now that the game is released, we know it isn't as close to more »
Massive Chalice's alchemists are amazing
Double Fine's Massive Chalice is a more realistic, strategic RPG. It's undoubtedly a fantasy game, but it's more rooted in reality than most. This means, sadly, that a wizard isn't going to come along and save the day. No, the closest thing one has to that is the alchemist, a class I believe is one more »
Massive Chalice made me restart
The Technology Tell Gaming Channel is going to do a preview of Double Fine's Massive Chalice. That isn't surprising, of course, because this is a Double Fine game, it was Kickstarter success that raised almost $1,300,000, and you can't let the Early Access of a release like this pass you by. Unfortunately, our preview is more »

Civilization: Beyond Earth mod takes Big Boss to space with Metal Gear Solid sponsor
It's always amazing when fans manage to make two series work well together. Like in Civilization games, mods can make new civilizations, units, and characters suddenly fit within the realm of the world. So, I guess it isn't so surprising that a mod which brings Metal Gear Solid into this game works so well. This more »
I can't wait for Codename STEAM to pit Abraham Lincoln vs. aliens

Weyland-Yutani Civilization: Beyond Earth mod could have potential
My dream of Mass Effect Civilization: Beyond Earth mods has yet to be fulfilled, but I'm still coming across interesting finds in the Steam Workshop prior to every play session.

Michelle Wie Tries Vegan Cookie And Muffin Recipes
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 4th, 2010 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink.
Michelle Wie isn't scare of anything, whether its the golf course or the kitchen.
The golfer who was named by Time magazine as one of "100 people that shape our world," Wie experiments with different creative hobbies that include painting, sewing clothes and making her own recipes for vegan cookies and muffins.
"Basically, I started to love trying things," Wie said, to the New York Times, "instead of before, I was scared of trying new things."
Can we get a vegan cookie and muffin cookbook from the Ladies Professional Golf Association tour member?
Sure hope she makes it one of the new things to try on her list!

My Elisalex Dress from By Hand London. Made for Julia Bobbin's Mad Men Challenge. I added a full lining and though the pattern calls for a heavy weight fabric I got around that by underlining my fashion fabric with silk organza.

Swivel Bar Stool
Jerri from Rembrandt, IA– Verified Buyer
We were looking for a counter stool, not the standard 24". This is 26" and it fits perfectly. It is well made, wood and metal looks great too. Also the price was reasonable.
great bar stool
jo from silver spring, MD– Verified Buyer
pretty and nice stools. clean look and easy to put together
Good value for the price
Janie the designer from Vancouver BC
We use these at our kitchen island. They are very comfortable, vinyl seat is very practical and the swivel is great feature. Nice and sturdy too - if not heavy. When we received them some of the parts had been pre-assembled incorrectly at the factory so we had to take apart before we assembled but other than that assembly was OK.
Love the stools!
Stool Sitter from Marshalltown, IA– Verified Buyer
We were very apprehensive about ordering the stools sight unseen. However, they are great. The assembly was easy and we feel the construction is very good. We really couldn't be more pleased.
Nice sturdy chairs
Lorane from San Clemente, CA– Verified Buyer
These chairs were very easy to assemble. All the holes lined up. They are good quality. I wish the seat backs were wood and not metal, but I'm OK with that.
Excellent Counter Stool
Curt from Terre Haute, IN– Verified Buyer
These stools are of excellent quality, much better than I expected at the price.
Good Value
Craig at ABB from Thunder Bay, Ontario– Verified Buyer
Nice chair for the price.

text: Nail art, meet your undoing: glossy, opaque and richly pigmented shades set the standard for chicness this fall. Much like the perfect man, our autumnal polish picks are deep, dark and brooding. As the weather cools down, stock up on sultry oxbloods, holographic plums and army greens. Or, for a more modern take on the neutral nail, swap out last fall's taupe for this season's "greige" – a flattering combination of grey and beige that complements a wide variety of skin tones. If you're feeling extra stylish, the fall 2013 catwalks are calling. Swipe on an eye-catching royal blue hue à la Miu Miu or take cues from Balenciaga and embrace this season's hottest trend: graphic black-and-white. These looks may be bold, but we think your digits deserve the attention. As for ladies who prefer to play it safe with pale, barely there lacquer? Let's catch up next spring.

New Times / Letter To The Editor
The following articles were printed from New Times [newtimesslo.com] - Volume 27, Issue 38
Some questions about weaponsSanta Maria
David E. Baskett
The gun debate has been raging for many years with the highest tempo in recent memory probably reached in the last few weeks.
Questions: If the United States or state government actually reached the improbable 99 percent effective score of removing all guns from its citizens, would that not result in 1 percent still being here?
If the 200 to 300 million guns figure in the United States is accurate, and 1 percent remained after the most remarkable government program success rate in history, would that not result in 2 to 3 million guns remaining?
It there are 2 to 3 million guns remaining, who would have them? The law abiding (thus likely victims), or the criminals?

Any experience with SG 1:3 frozen egg?
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 10-28-2011 - 8:20am
Hello everyone! These are such supportive boards, and everyone is so generous and willing to share their advice and experiences..it really is great.
Well, after almost 4 yrs TTC, failed IUIs, and 2 failed IVF's , DH and I are taking one last shot and moving on to DE at SG, using the shared risk program. I have the new patient appt next week. I am thinking I would prefer to use frozen egg, for two reasons: it seems a bit less complicated and quicker time-wise, and it would be a proven donor. In the consult, the dr. said there are advantages and disadvantages, and he recommends choosing a donor first and then deciding on fresh or frozen. My concern is whether there will be a very limited choice of donors using frozen, especially since we are doing the 1:3. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on this? Also,

Ladies, for those who had the cancelled cycles (either because you were the tertiary recipient or the donor's eggs didn't mature) were you just out that cycle or did they not charge you for those cancelled cycles? I'm trying to figure out what to do. DH and I have been ttc #1 for almost 7 years. We've done IUIs and

Best of luck to you in your decision making process.

The Middle Ages meets fanciful decadence near the Sussex Coast
the sumptuous Baylies room, which is a must for a romantic break by the Sussex Coast.
Time travel is possible after all, or at least it is
at Bailiffscourt Hotel & Spa in Climping. However, before you
brush up on your flux-capacitor knowledge, it's worthwhile knowing
that Baillifscourt was the vision of Lady Moyne (wife of Lord
Moyne, aka Walter Guinness of the famed stout empire). Brought to
reality by Amyas Phillips in 1933. By using authentic material
salvaged from age-old buildings, this most-convincing Medieval
House with six outbuildings (complete with gnarled 15th-century
beams, Gothic mullioned windows) and private parkland featuring a
moat, resulted in a playground for the rich and famous of its day.
Host to many a-bopping party, Baillifscourt attracted many Bright
Young Things (and perhaps some of Lord Moyne's political friends)
because of its close proximity to Goodwood and unspoilt Climping
beach. When the natural transition to luxurious hotel took place in
1948, the appeal of Baillifscourt remained as popular as ever. Now
the four posters, open log fires, purpose-built spa, two tennis
courts, croquet lawn and beautiful views across the countryside
draw in a new generation of BYTs seeking good hospitality and great
food. Menus at Tapestry Restaurant are eclectic, and in summer you
can eat out in the rose-clad courtyard or walled garden.
Condé Nast Johansens Best Waterside Hotel 2014
Beside the Medieval-style brilliance of Bailiffscourt Hotel is
the equally inspired timber-clad Sussex barn housing Bailiffscourt
Spa. Purpose-built as a thoroughly modern health and relaxation
centre, this imposing structure of polished limestone, natural
green oak and oversized windows is a destination in its own right.
In fact, it's one of the south of England's leading spa retreats
with acres of West Sussex countryside as its backdrop, a short walk
from the popular shingle Climping beach. Immersed in this bucolic
beauty is the outdoor pool and tennis courts, whilst inside, the
airy and naturally-lit gym and indoor pool area are in prime
position for admiring the scene through floor-to-ceiling windows.
Soothing treatment rooms and relaxation zones are the settings for
the Mediterranean-inspired menu of therapies, which soley use the
organic Temple Spa product range. Combining natural botanicals with
the latest scientific knowledge, the list of ground-breaking
therapies aims to relax, de-stress, revitalise and restore, and can
be individually tailored. Designed with the landscapes, lifestyles
and cultures of the Mediterranean in mind, exotically named
treatments such as Mediterranean Float and Executive Stress Away
appear alongside Day Retreat Packages, which include full use of
all spa facilities and a light lunch.

CHICAGO—Nobu Hospitality LLC plans to develop Nobu Hotel and Restaurant Chicago with a U.S.-based real estate development firm. The Nobu Hotel and Restaurant will be located here in the area of the West Loop and is planned to open early 2016.
Inspired by the Japanese culinary Chef Nobu and championed by Academy award-winning actor Robert De Niro and Hollywood producer Meir Teper, this boutique hotel will feature 155 luxury rooms, the Nobu Restaurant and a special indoor and outdoor bar.
"The City of Chicago is an extremely important destination for Nobu Hospitality and our shareholders Chef Nobu, Robert De Niro and Meir Teper," said Trevor Horwell, chief executive of Nobu Hospitality. "We also look forward to be working with the City of Chicago to deliver a unique and special destination for Chicago which reflects our overall growth strategy of expanding with other properties to 24-hour gateway cities, both in the U.S. and internationally."
Shawn Sullivan, partner and studio leader at the Rockwell Group, has been selected as the designer for the project to showcase a design reflecting the needs for all stakeholders and using the core design principles of the Nobu brand infused with an indigenous flair. The Rockwell Group has been the designer of many Nobu projects on a global scale over the last two decades.

|Reds send Bailey to minors over All-Star break
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 08 July 2007 06:49
The Reds called up infielder Pedro Lopez from Triple-A Louisville to take his roster spot and give the team some depth while it struggles with injuries.
The 21-year-old Bailey gave up only two hits and a run in five innings of a 5-4 victory over Arizona on Saturday night. After getting hit hard in his two previous starts, he fixed a flaw in his delivery and looked to be back on track.
Sending him to Louisville will allow Bailey to stay on schedule.
``It wouldn't have happened without the All-Star break,'' general manager Wayne Krivsky said. ``He wouldn't have pitched until eight or nine days from now. He understands completely.''
By bringing up the 23-year-old Lopez, the Reds shored up an injury-thinned roster. Outfielder Josh Hamilton sprained his wrist on Saturday night, a few hours after utility infielder Juan Castro went on the 15-day disabled list with a partially torn ligament in his throwing elbow.

Making online education more like iTunes
As MIT sees it, education is a lot like the record business used to be: still producing albums, when people would rather download songs one at a time.
To put it another way, instead of offering semester-long classes, professors need to start offering individual lessons and letting students pick which ones they want.
"The very notion of a 'class' may be outdated," says a new report from an MIT task force on the future of the school. "Much like a playlist on iTunes, a student could pick and choose the elements of a calculus or a biology course offered across [MIT's online platform] to meet his or her needs."
The report notes that 25 percent of professors and 40 percent of students believe classes could benefit from this "modular" approach.
MIT is not the only school thinking this way. The University of Wisconsin began offering MOOCs this year that offer shorter, more narrowly focused segments.
Also recommended by the MIT task force:
- Continue to expand online and blended-learning options.
- Expand the school's certification program for online courses.
- Develop ways to use game-based learning in classes.
- Attract a more diverse group of students to MOOCs– more than 70 percent are male.
- Make the school more affordable.
- Admit more students.

PODCAST: New credit scores
FICO -- the nation's leading provider of those all-important credit scores so many of us have tatooed on us -- has announced that it is changing the formula it uses to score our credit in a way that could boost the credit scores for tens of millions of Americans. More on what you need to know about your FICO credit score. Plus, things are getting tougher for military personnel who get help on their college tuition. The current rule is people getting assistance have to just pass the classes, but the government now wants them do better than that. Also, Cleveland is a sports town, be it baseball, basketball or badminton. That game is one of 35 featured in the Gay Games, which start Saturday. The international Gay Games 9 competition is expected to bring 30,000 visitors to the area. More on what some small businesses are doing to get fans into their establishments.
Military wages war on bad grades
As of September, active service members who tap the military's tuition assistance program could be financially on the hook if they get bad grades.
Active members of the military can get up to $4,500 a year in tuition assistance. Under the current rules, they just have to pass classes they take off-duty to get tuition covered up to 100 percent, depending on the branch of the military they're in.
But starting in early September, troops will have to earn a C or better in undergraduate classes, and a B or better in graduate work. And they can't settle for grades of "incomplete." Otherwise, they'll have to pay back the course tuition back.
"Tuition dollars and military student time is both limited and valuable," says Defense Department spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen. "So, we want to make sure they maintain focus and have an understanding of the expectations that are required of them."
Christensen says the Pentagon could waive the requirements in certain cases and cut soldiers slack for events like deployments.
Emma Scherer of Student Veterans of America says the threat of paying back tuition for anything less than an average grade could scare people off.
"We don't want to put roadblocks in the way of service members or veterans getting to education, and this clearly does that," she says.
Student financial aid expert Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Edvisors.com, says having to back-pay tuition could also disrupt service members' long-term education plans.
"They'd either owe the military or owe the college, and that could have consequences for their ability to complete college," he says.
The changes come as the Pentagon faces long-term budget cuts.

Corporate earnings: up. Hiring: not so much.
Corporate earnings reports for the spring quarter are mostly in by the first week in August. Overall, they paint a pretty rosy picture for America, Inc., as Bloomberg predicts profits at S&P 500 companies rose nearly 9.5 percent; sales rose more than 4 percent. So far, 75 percent of companies that have reported earned more than equity analysts predicted.
"The results have been really solid," said chief economic strategist John Canally at LPL Financial in Boston. He said the results bode well for the second half of 2014, especially since GDP growth has picked up since the winter reversal.
Canally said companies are mostly plowing their profits back into the company; not adding to their payrolls, or investing in new plant and equipment.
"It's mergers and acquisitions, increasing dividends, share buybacks," Canally said. "Companies are doing what companies normally do: trying to boost share price for their shareholders. They're just not doing a lot of hiring right now."
Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics in Toronto, said U.S. companies have increasing worries overseas — where a lot of their profits are earned — due to geopolitical and economic crises in Russia-Ukraine, Iraq-Syria, Israel-Palestine, Argentina, and Europe.
"Some of those geopolitical events have made people rethink how optimistic they are about the world economy over the next 12 months," said Ashworth — Which, he said, explains some of the stock market's recent slump.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
A JOINT VENTURE WITH BDC Insight: Innovation, success go hand in hand
A bold new idea is the genesis of many business startups. But it's not always enough to keep them healthy over the long term, says Peter Lawler, Ontario senior vice-president of financing and consulting for the Business Development Bank of Canada.
"A business that starts with an innovative concept will thrive initially," he says, "until competitors come into its space. This is very common."
Toronto's Il Fornello has experienced these twists and turns in the marketplace. It established a successful niche for itself on the restaurant scene with its wood-fired pizzas. But when other establishments adopted a similar model, its management began making major changes, including closing some locations, opening others outside the city core and rethinking its business concept and menu.
Any business facing major challenges needs to step back and consider what made it a success, then innovate to recapture momentum, Lawler says. "There is no status quo. A continuous cycle of innovation and change is essential in any business." Changing to meet market demand includes "benchmarking what you are doing and what you need to do to stay ahead of your competitors."
One of the most effective ways to do this, Lawler says, is to involve your management team, staff and clients. Innovation should be a collaborative process.
"In many cases, it involves bringing in outside professionals and advisors. A fresh set of eyes can give new insights. As part of any innovation plan, you also need to look at the whole cycle of continuous improvement and have an investment strategy to support it," he says.
The basic principles that contribute to success in any business are good products that are competitively priced and high levels of service, he says. "Service is absolutely critical to success. It is important to consider how to improve the service experience to continue to attract clientele."
But more than anything else, a business has to give customers good reasons to support it. "That value proposition may change over time. Making sure it is always in line with customer needs is part of the innovation cycle."
Lawler emphasizes that innovation does not necessarily mean a complete change of direction or the implementation of new technology.
"The vast majority of innovations are incremental. Moving forward by making small regular changes constantly and having innovation embedded in the culture of an organization can lead to long-term success."
