The Ark-La-Tex (also known as Arklatex, ArkLaTex, or more inclusively Arklatexoma) is a U.S. socio-economic region where Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma intersect. The region contains portions of Northwest Louisiana, Northeast Texas, South Arkansas, and the Little Dixie area of Oklahoma.
The region is centered on the Shreveport/Bossier metropolitan area in Northwest Louisiana.[1] Other important cities in the region include Marshall in Northeast Texas, Natchitoches, Louisiana, and both Texarkana, Texas and Texarkana, Arkansas.
Although it is not an official US metropolitan area, it has a total population of 1,043,570.[citation needed] Its largest city is Shreveport, Louisiana with Tyler, Texas in second, Longview, Texas in third, and Texarkana, Texas/Texarkana, Arkansas in fourth.
The area covers roughly 46,500 square miles as it is about 240 miles North to South (Mena, Arkansas in the north to Lufkin, Texas in the south) and about 194 miles East to West (El Dorado Arkansas in the East to Sulphur Springs, Texas to the West).
Most of the region is located in the Piney Woods, an ecoregion of dense forest of mixed deciduous and conifer flora. The forests are periodically punctuated by sloughs and bayous that are linked to larger bodies of water such as Caddo Lake or the Red River.
According to one source, the name "Ark-La-Tex" was first promoted for the region by a Shreveport Chamber of Commerce campaign in 1932-33.[2]
The culture of the Ark-La-Tex region, and especially its music, shows a mixture of influences from the related, but distinct, cultures of its surrounding states. The music of the area is marked by country and blues sounds typical of the music of the Southern United States, the Western music of Texas, and the well-documented music of New Orleans and Acadiana in Louisiana.[3] The area had a significant role in the development of country and rock and roll music beginning in the 1940s. On March 1, 1948, Shreveport radio station KWKH launched a country music variety show called the Ark-La-Tex Jubilee, followed a month later by the long-running and influential Louisiana Hayride program.[4] Hayride director Horace Logan and regular performer Webb Pierce started a music publishing company called Ark-La-Tex Music.[5][6]
Drummer Brian Blade, a Shreveport native, included a song entitled "Ark.La.Tex." on his 2014 album Landmarks, exploring the mixture of musical influences in his home region.[7]

Well I am already of sick of doing bottles, so I am starting my keezer build I am starting off slow but wanted to document my little project for myself, so no place better then here!! I bought a 5 CF GE Chest Freezer from Sams Club for $168 shipped to start. It gets dropped off on Thursday (3/17/2011) and I can't wait!!! After that purchase I went over to Midwest Supplies website and picked up their which will arrive on Tuesday(3/15/2011) I went with Ball Lock Kegs after ready up on the 2 different styles on HBT. I also picked up a control to regulate the temp from Midwest. I based this purchase on budget and also the great reviews it got. Most likely when I have more money I will put in a digital display, but that is not in the budget just yet. Since I wont get my orders for a couple days I start messing around on Google Sketch Up and came up with the design I am shooting for. There are 2 keezers in the picture, but I am only building one....the 2 show with casters on and also with side door open to get a all around idea of the final product. I DID DECIDE to put a trim around the bottom to cover the casters and put interior hinges on them so you cant see them but you will be able to lift the trim up to get access to the locks on the casters...pretty nifty :O) I am still debating on doing frosted glass in the front with some rope lighting from under, but I have not 100% convinced I want that yet, so that will have to come later. I am also debating on making the side door a chilled area or not buy just extending the casing and top and insulating the interior and putting a small foam door wrapped in wood to cover it.....still working on it. I love having the idea of the side door to keep red wine bottles, and some beer bottles while they warm condition so I think keeping it rom temp will be best. Plus it is a great area for beer glasses as I hate chilled glasses. 03/13/2011 Progress Got aroudn to building the collar for the keezer today so I can get a extra keg on the hump in the future. Went with pine, since I wont see this part anyways since it will be covered with a "sleeze" wrapping the whole keezer after it is finished. Since I done have clamps, I decided to get a little help holding the boards straight from doubled sided tape that is used for insulating also...worked out great!! Installing the brackets Then did some foam insulation...first time using it and I got a little crazy but I can trim off all the extra once it's dry Found out after readin the can that once you start using foam insulation, you have to use it all...welll not to waste it I insulated all the boards which I will sand down and make smooth so I can wrap in water resistant wrapping And that's it for now. The foam is drying and I and excited to move on to the next step!! Time for a home brew and to relax with the SWMBO who made this keezer build possible by getting a job that pays ALOT more then she used to make WOOOHOOOO!!! More updates to come!!
Like it, I plan on making a keezer here soon too, once i get a job that pays more that unemployment. I have an old chest freezer that has a temp control that goes up to a temp of 35degrees ice cold beer. If my measurements are correct i should be able to store up to 7corny kegs. I want to have three taps on it. Im gonna build a nice wood frame around it with a marble top. Lets just hope i get a job soon so i can start buying the stuff i need.
I think it would have been way easier to just buy 1" Foam board. It's 10 bucks a sheet and cuts all to easy. You could have lined your boards with it and saved a whole lot of troubles. Not much more cost than your can of spray foam. Just my $.02
I like that horizontal piece with your brewery name engraved on it. What are you planning on using for it?
I agree on the 1" Foam board, but it looks like you are on your way to a great built. Keep us up-dated with the pictures.
The horizontal piece with your brewery name on it does look great, however, you're building the collar so that you can have 3 kegs inside, but you're tower is only going to allow you to pour 2 at a time. I can see the benefit of having the space for carbing a 3rd keg, but why not add a 3rd tap to that middle section that has your name on it? OR make the whole tower more of a T shape, so that the horizontal part has the brewery name and the vertical part can be wide enough to house 3 taps. This is all getting pretty petty since 99% of us would kill to ahve what you have sketched up, but it's just my $.02
Looks like a fun build! Suggestion/comment: you'll want to find a way to extend the taps out a little bit more from the body of the tower, or else all of you drips will be pretty close to the base. Some people build a small overhang in (and run lights underneath). I chose to take advantage of the longer shanks that I had purchased and put a couple of rosette moldings (http://www.homedepot.com/Building-Materials-Moulding-Millwork-Moulding/h_d1/N-5yc1vZara1Z1z14084/R-202081922/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053) and drilled a hold for the shank. It allowed me to not have to use the crappy black plastic shank guard that comes with the shanks.

Exception on every 32 or 33 years, Hari Raya Puasa (also known as Hari Raya Aidilfitri and in Arabic as Eid ul-Fitr) is celebrated twice a calendar year. This occurred in 1968 and 2000, giving Singaporeans 12 public holidays in those years.
The arrangement of Singapore public holidays represent a carefully calibrated distribution of public holidays among the religious and ethnic communities in Singapore. Because of this certain special days traditionally celebrated by locals have not been given public holiday status.
These include Chinese festival like Mid-Autumn Festival; Christian holidays like Ascension Day; Muslim holidays like Awal Muharram, the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad; and Hindu holidays like Thaipusam.

GrowLife Inc. To Explore Opportunities In Illinois After State Panel Approves Medical Marijuana Measure
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., March 15, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GrowLife, Inc. (OTCQB:PHOT), a provider of highly effective indoor growing technologies and unique lifestyle brands, reports that the company will expeditiously begin to examine greater opportunities in the State of Illinois following a favorable state House panel approved measure to legalize the use of marijuana in medical cases on Wednesday, March 6, 2013. The measure now moves toward a full House vote.
"We're pleased to see yet another positive step in the relaxation of marijuana laws and the potential for broader use in a state as large as Illinois," states GrowLife CEO, Sterling Scott. "GrowLife will be closely monitoring the events to follow and will be prepared to increase our presence in the State of Illinois as greater opportunities manifest for the company. We intend fully to participate in the expansion of any potential marijuana market in Illinois with our established and diverse product line."
While previous attempts to legalize marijuana have failed in Illinois, a series of positive legislative events and policy changes in Washington State, Colorado and New York City have increased pressure on legislators to enact new laws to deal with rising interest in both medicinal and recreational uses of marijuana.
The Huffington Post (link below) reports that the bill's sponsor, Rep. Lou Lang (D), is optimistic about approval, having crafted a measure that "has even tighter regulations than those of past failed iterations which at the time were the most strictly-written in the country."

ActiveJPA is intended to be lightweight, fast, relational, object-oriented and an easy-to-use, with no or minimal configuration to get started. We're not willing to reinvent the wheel, but we strive to offer a lighter and more reliable persistence framework.
We're aware that Active Record pattern may be seen by many as an anti-pattern, as it is against the Single Responsibility Pattern (SRV), but community recognise it as a quite useful one. And we agree with that! So we came up with a few ideas to solve part of the SRV problem, using Aspects' cross-cutting concerns to separate responsibilities that are considered an overhead on most ORM implementations. Shipped on its core, we have also found a feasible solution to offer a way for unit testing without the need of a database, as Active Records objects are objects, and so they can be kept in-memory for testing.
With no textual SQL queries, ActiveJPA implements type safe domain-specific language (DSL) for querying objects, and then these objects translate the queries to the database in a trustworthy object-oriented interface.
Why Not JPA?
We believe JPA is overwhelmed and not well designed. While we wanted a straightforward solution and studied the current JPA implementations, we realized that we were not happy with its design, performance and painful configurations.
We want to get fast. And for that JPA implementations are not helpful at all. And with more complexity, the more ineffective JPA gets. JPA has no fluent interface enough on queueing queries for lazy loading, so it can't retrieve data reliably for what is needed at the moment it is needed, often loading more than enough data when not required, or less than enough when strictly required.
Also, we have found many ActiveRecord and DSL implementations for JDBC and JPA, but unfortunately we didn't get into the design we desired. And these reasons have driven us to forget about everything and start from scratch, doing exactly what we wanted from the very beginning, with very best practices on design and conventions.
We also brought together good ideas form the community and successful features found in other frameworks.
Quick Start
We deploy to Maven Central, so all you need to do is simply add the dependency to your POM:
Note: ActiveJPA still have no stable release yet, but we have an official release planned to Jan, 2015.
Contributing to ActiveJPA
You can start getting involved to ActiveJPA trying out it in your PoC's, answering questions at StackOverflow.
If you want to write code, we encourage contributions through pull requests from forks of our repository at GitHub. If you want to contribute code this way, please reference an issue with the specific task you are addressing.
Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the contributor's agreement. Signing the contributor's agreement does not grant anyone commit rights to the main repository, but it does mean that we can accept your contributions and you will get an author credit if we do. Active contributors might be asked to join the core team, and given the ability to merge pull requests.

Background: Although risk factors for complications following reduction mammaplasty are well known, it is difficult to assess risk for specific complications among patients with multiple factors or varying gradations of a single factor. The purpose of this study was to identify all associations between patient characteristics and specific complications and to quantify the risk attributable to these factors, to assess a prospective patient's individualized risk.
Methods: Patient characteristics and complications were identified through retrospective chart review of a consecutive series of patients who underwent Wise-pattern, inferior-pedicle reduction mammaplasty performed by the senior author (C.L.P.) over the past 10 years. Chi-square, t test, logistic regression, and decision tree analyses were used to identify complications attributable to specific risk factors and, when possible, to quantify the risk imparted by those factors.
Results: The charts of 485 patients were reviewed. Factors predictive of nonspecific complications included hypertension, fibromyalgia, previous breast surgery, and fibroproliferative breast abnormality. Factors predictive of specific complications included body mass index, associated with wound-healing complications; mass of resection, associated with wound-healing complications and decreased nipple sensitivity and inversely related to hypertrophic scarring; and intraoperative hypotension, associated with hematoma.
Conclusions: Based on the review of a large series of reduction mammaplasties, specific and quantifiable patient characteristics were linked to specific and quantifiable complications. Novel associations were drawn, including increased risk of hematoma with intraoperative hypotension and decreased risk of hypertrophic scarring with mass of resection. A "risk assessor" was constructed that estimates a prospective patient's individualized risk based on selected preoperatively identifiable characteristics, facilitating patient selection and preoperative counseling.

Bisol Jeio Prosecco Brut Rose
Rosé Sparkling Wine from Veneto, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
A rose with a bubbly personality that offers great drinking pleasure. The color is a brilliant delicate pink, with extremely fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is elegant and complex, with a wide range of aromas, intense hints of rose, fresh fruit, citrus and lycis. On the palate it is crisp and balanced, with good sapidity and a dry long finish. Due to its "brut" personality, this wines makes an ideal aperitif, perfect for appetizers and canapés at reception and cocktail parties, or even to accompany the entire meal (pastas with vegetables, white meat dishes and the most varied seafood dishes.)
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The NV Prosecco Brut Rose Jeio is made from equal parts Merlot and Pinot Noir. It is a fairly restrained wine with excellent balance and a refined mousse. I am not generally a fan of rose Prosecco, a category that has been created to exploit the growing popularity of both roses and sparkling wines, yet everything here works beautifully, and this is one if the very few examples that merit attention. This is Lot 10027A. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012."
Bisol Winery
The Bisol Estate is one of the oldest in the region of Valdobbiadene area. The winery was founded in 1858 by Eliseo Bisol, who was well known for his distillery. Quality has continued to be driving force over the generations. In the last 30 years the Bisol brothers have succedeed in achieving a balance between tradition and modern technology. Because of the very steep hillsides, this is a difficult area to cultivate. View all Bisol Wines About Veneto
View a map of Veneto wineries (vey-NEH-toe) Located in Northeast Italy, near the Austrian border, and one of the three regions making up the Tre-Venezie, Veneto is most famous for its city of love, Venice. In the wine world, Veneto is the top volume producer in the north of Italy. Production includes lovely spritzy Proseccos (also the grape name), as well as the easy-drinking white wine of Soave (made from the white grape, Garganega) and the red wine of Amarone.
Notable Facts
The wine of Soave is most common white wine made here. Occasionally you can find an exceptional Soave, but for the most part the wine is easy-drinking and refreshingly pleasant. For the reds, the most popular are Amarone and Valpolicella – both made primarily from the good structured Corvina grape. While Amarone is always made in the recioto method (drying out the grapes to intensify the flavor), Valpolicella has a few different levels. Amarone is made from very ripe grapes, which are then dried and then pressed, producing an opulent, concentrated, full-bodied wine that has a distinctive and powerful taste that stays with you. Not for the lighter fare meal, this wine is almost port-like and delicious with cheese and/or dessert. Valpolicella can also be made in the recioto method, but it's more often found in a dry style – the wine goes up in rank, from Valpolicella to Valpolicella Classico to Valpolicella Classico Superiore. And finally, the bubbly of Veneto – Prosecco. Made from the same-named grape, Prosecco is less fizzy than Champagne and occasionally has a slight sweetness. It's absolutely delicious as a value aperitif.About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...
This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Related ProductsAlcohol By Volume Guide
Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

The Cabinet on Wednesday decided to set up a permanent commission on forward classes to identify the problems of economically backward persons among forward communities and recommend welfare measures.
A sitting or retired judge of the Supreme Court of India or a High Court will be appointed chairman of the Kerala State Forward Classes Commission. Secretary (General Administration) will be its ex officio Member Secretary. Two persons from the forward communities conversant in matters connected with forward classes will be appointed members of the commission.
An official release said about 26 per cent of the people in the State belonging to the forward classes were not covered under the reservation policies or programmes of the government. Owing to historical and social reasons, a good percentage of these communities were economically backward. This limited the scope for education and employment of the youth in those communities. Members of these communities also found it difficult to earn a livelihood or use opportunities because of other social, historical, and cultural factors. The commission would be able to address these issues, the release added.
It recalled that the government had earlier appointed V.M. Gopala Menon to study the problems of the economically backward among the forward communities and recommend welfare measures. Mr. Menon had recommended formation of a permanent commission. The Cabinet had approved his recommendations.

You may notice some of your Sunday favorites are missing this week and that's because the music industry is taking over the network. And if you like music and people performing it, you'll probably be watching this. Sure, it doesn't hold the esteem that the Grammys are supposed to hold, but it's fun. Nicki Minaj, Drake, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Maroon 5, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, PitBull, LMFAO, wil.i.am, Chris Brown and more (if you can believe it) will take the stage, so just swallow your pride about how this is all "so mainstream" and watch it - hipster.

Apologizing unnecessarily is yet another social tic to avoid. When you bump into someone, you should apologize. When someone bumps into you, don't.

He went to sleep a man and awoke a jaguar. The feline form felt like coming home, and as soon as his eyes opened he could see that he was indeed back where he belonged. Sunlight filtered through the canopy of leaves above, splashing across his mottled coat in warm patches. He took in a breath of humid air, held it, savored it.
Nothing here but the buzz of insects and the call of monkeys. The time of searching had come. He swished his long tail back and forth behind him as he padded across the damp soil, reassured by its presence that he had entered that state of twilight reality where answers could be found.
His pink nose twitched, drawing in the jungle's rich scents. Under the earthy smell of decaying leaves was another, a distress call sent up by nature which he must answer. He followed it until he found the clearing.
It was a lifeless place, black and smoky but no longer dangerous after the passing of the fire. The game trail he trod opened into it accompanied by a pair of decorations that he took several moments to study. The skulls of the buck and doe were stark and clean, but there were no other traces of the bodies. He stepped onto the ash-laden soil, sending tiny black puffs of fine dust into the air with each pass of his massive paws.
A single cloven-hoofed trail led away from the living jungle. Deep tracks overlapped the delicate marks until his eyes rested upon his quarry at last. The soft brown eyes of the marsh doe regarded him for but a moment before she was off, embraced by the cloak of ash sent up by her hoofbeats. He pushed himself to follow her, knowing full well that this was the body of a sprinter while hers was designed to run a marathon.
Long-legged bounds took her to the bank of a rushing river. She balked, ears flicking and eyes rolling as she turned to face her pursuer. The land on the other side of the river was green and healthy, preserved from the wrath of the fire. He knew what he had to do. She must go there, where it was safe. He would use her fear to herd her away from this dead place.
The doe leapt out of reach before he was close enough to touch her, rising into the sky above him and hanging there suspended with her spindly legs outstretched like the crucified Christ. Blue feathers erupted from her body until they consumed it and he could see her no more in the storm of blue that surrounded her. When they fell away they revealed her reborn state, the gralha-azul with its brilliant sky-blue plumage and clever eyes masked in black. The bird beat its wings against the still air, soaring away from the place filled with life to head deeper into the charred wasteland. He followed.
She would not look down on him as he struggled to keep up. She only had eyes for the flock that lay ahead of her. She merged with them and was lost in the group of blue-and-black birds. Still he followed, setting a steady rhythmic pace with his short and powerful legs.
His tongue lolled from his mouth as his paws slammed into the ash again and again and again. Here there were no trees to block the sun's rays from striking his golden coat. The river at his back, there was nothing but flat black land up ahead. Flat land that terminated in a cliff's edge which the flock effortlessly soared past.
He watched them go. A village lay at the base of the cliff, a lively place untouched by the fire. The flock descended on the market where people walked and bought and sold, as they did on every other day. They touched ground in an explosion of feathers and grew until their forms towered over those of the people surrounding them. Monsters with the heads of caimans and the bodies of young men and women took their place and pounced hungrily on the villagers.
Screaming filled the air as the monsters stalked and killed the defenseless. The humans ran into their homes, and then the men stepped out with guns to protect their families and the tides turned. The monsters fled before them, or attacked in a desperate attempt to save themselves. They were cut down in a volley of bullets, few surviving to limp their way out of the village.
From his cliffside perch he felt a gentle breeze tickle his ear. A voice spoke to him.
Have you seen enough?
Reality flooded into Mateo's waking mind with such force that he gasped and sat up in bed, though exhaustion quickly pulled him back down. Deep calming breaths helped ease the transition. Worried that he may have disturbed his wife, he turned his head and was relieved to see her still sleeping beside him.
There would be no more sleep for him tonight. His mind was restless, picking the vision apart and trying to decode its various components. The room was cold, and the snowflakes fell outside like ashes spewed from an icy volcano. He did not need to see past the window blinds to know it was still snowing. It had snowed yesterday, it was snowing now, and it would snow tomorrow. Mateo missed the jungle, but his wife would miss her own home more and that was reason enough for him to stay here.
He had no doubt that the doe was the missing girl. She must still be alive, and in trouble, just as her parents feared. A pang of grief hit him as he thought again of the suffering his friends were going through. Many young werewolves lose their way when they first begin to experiment with their shapeshifting abilities. At sixteen the life of a rogue must seem liberating for some, especially those who feel isolated and wish to pull away from the grasp of their parents.
He hoped they would not ask him to recount the vision to them. He always warned the people he helped that these visions were complex and personal puzzles, but they usually wanted to hear them anyway. Then they would scratch their heads, ask him if he had the answer to the question they had brought him, and go away feeling disappointed with the vagueness of the interpretation. Sometimes he wondered if it would not be better to never have been given the shaman's gift.
Where was the girl? Who was she with? Could they help her before it was too late? The overall feeling he got from the vision was dire, and indeed he had told the parents that an answer, however clear, may not be enough to save her.
Mateo analyzed the symbols presented to him for days afterward, resting and meditating while the energy drained to summon the vision replenished itself. While the girl's father searched for her he provided her mother with the interpretation. She thanked him, tears in her eyes and prepared for the worst even as she hoped her daughter would be found before giving in to the wrong desires.
The girl's body was identified the next day. She was found in a small pack of young werewolves executed by the Pack's Hunters in a park, where they had hidden after savagely mauling a jogger. The gun is the only way out after a rogue exhibits such behavior. Very few are given second chances.
Mateo attended the joint funeral held for the wayward teens. Their ashes were released into the wind to mix with the snow and return to nature. He could not bring himself to look at the girl's parents for fear of seeing the disappointment in their eyes.
That night he lay awake in bed, asking God what use a vision was if it only revealed an unchangeable future.

John Oatts, Training Director, Plumbers and Steamfitters local 33, Des Moines:
"Well definitely, this isn't your father's apprentice program anymore. The requirements and academic requirements that we have for our training program are, are a lot more stringent than they were even ten years ago."
Those entering the apprenticeship program at the Plumbers and Steamfitters local 33 on Des Moines' southside, attend a five-year study program. They must complete 240 classroom hours a year –which includes both lectures ... and hands-on training. Their studies rotate between 1 week in school ... and six weeks of paid on-the-job training which could include welding … pipefitting … and med gas installation that goes into hospitals like this one under construction in West Des Moines.
The cost of the education is paid for through a partnership: money from both union members and various contractors who hire local 33 workers: like A.J. Allen Mechanical Contractors in Des Moines.
Fred Miller, VP of A.J. Allen Construction: "The apprenticeship program is very important. It's the backbone of the whole industry. We could take the leadership to train our own employees but then they would only work for us. But in the, the union, where we share employees. It works better. We share the training amongst the contractors. We're all sharing the same skilled labor."
Since January 1, 2009, this skilled workforce in plumbing, heating and mechanical have been required to obtain a state license in addition to the various, other mandatory certifications necessary to operate certain equipment.
This year, 230 apprentices are trained here at the Plumbers and Steamfitters 30,000 square foot training facility. The school also owns a mobile training unit to certify welders at a job site.
The, union-run, Local #33 program takes students from the 57 Iowa counties in local's district.
Bob Dobson is a 4th year apprentice from Sioux City.
Bob Dobson, Apprentice, Sioux City: "I'd known uh, you know, right out of school that I'd probably wasn't necessarily college material. I knew I wanted to work with my hands. I knew I wanted to get into some type of trade. I'm a pipefitter. Ah where we uh learn a lot of welding -- uh, do a lot of measurements, take offs, that sort of things. A lot of steam and hydronic work."
Ryan Wierson, Apprentice, Nevada: "I'm a little surprised at some of the math and the science. There's, there's more to it than you think. It pertains to what we do. So you can look at a piece of pipe and there's something that's tangible there. It relates to you better than just looking at a book."
Ryan Wierson, a 5th year apprentice chose this type of education over college in part because of cost. He says he and his wife are still paying off her college debt and he didn't want the expense of a second one.
But college is still an option. Many of the credits earned in this apprenticeship are accepted by the Des Moines Area Community College in Ankeny and can be applied toward a two-year Associates degree.
John Oatts, Training Director, Plumbers and Steamfitters local 33: "We're looking at, at both ends. Uh what we can do for our students here to get them Associate degrees on the back end, but also on the front end. Uh, we're in the process of having a pilot program developed with Saydel High School. They have a construction program that they're establishing this year and it's going to give them direct entry into our "helper" program, which is our pre-apprentice."
To qualify the high school students for the pre-apprenticeship, Oatts talks with both the instructor and curriculum director about the need to instill students with a good work ethic and to add more math and science as it applies to the type of work studied in the high school Industrial Arts class.
Lora Wunsch, Director of Curriculum and Student Services, Saydel High School: "This is our first pathway down the apprenticeship and we're excited about it.
We probably don't have the strongest component for math for these kids tied directly to their classes that they get through our carpentry and plumbing classes. So we're looking closely to infuse the needed math skills, but also the same things with personal skills, communication skills, leadership skills, and just the 21st century career skills that we know they would need."
With such skills in hand, many think a fulfilling career can be had in the trades like plumbing and pipefitting.
John Oatts: "We are a great alternative to somebody who really doesn't want to go to 4 year institution for a college degree on a job that may or may not be there when they're done. You know, nothing is for sure but uh having a marketable skill that know we can't outsource, these jobs have to be done here. It doesn't guarantee your employment but it goes a long way in ensuring that you can, you can uh have a very good uh employment history."

The Beautiful Tree
A Personal Journey Into How the World's Poorest People Are Educating Themselves
James Tooley · ebook
Everyone from Bono to the United Nations is looking for a miracle to bring schooling within reach of the poorest children on Earth. James Tooley found one hiding in plain sight. While researching private schools in India for the World Bank, and worried he was doing little to help the poor, Tooley wandered into the slums of Hyderabad's Old City. Shocked to find it overflowing with tiny, parentfunded schools filled with energized students, he set out to discover if schools like these could help achieve universal education. Named after Mahatma Gandhi's phrase for the schools of pre-colonial India, The Beautiful Tree recounts Tooley's journey from the largest shanty town in Africa to the hinterlands of Gansu, China.

Pass rush has been key for Carson-Newman's winning streak
JEFFERSON CITY — Carson-Newman University and North Greenville have been on different trajectories since October began.
The No. 18-ranked Eagles are on a three-game winning streak and have scored 43 or more points in all three games.
The Crusaders have dropped their last three games, and given up an average of 32.3 points per game in that span. C-N coach Ken Sparks doesn't feel the recent losing streak makes North Greenville any less dangerous.
"I don't think North Greenville is concerned with what we've done in the last three ballgames," Sparks said. "They'll play us hard. All the things that we had in our favor last week is all against us this week. They've beat some good football teams. If we don't improve we're in trouble."
Carson-Newman (6-1) will play its final non-conference game Saturday when the Eagles travel to Tigerville, S.C., to take on the Crusaders (4-3) at 2:30 p.m.
While Carson-Newman has been rolling up wins, the victories have come in spite of penalties and defensive breakdowns. Where the Eagles have improved is the pass rush. C-N has 15 sacks and 44 tackles for a loss this season.
"The coaches laid it out in front of us and we had to get more comfortable," defensive end William Alderman said. "We had to get off the ball and understand what we were doing. Now we see the results of being consistent."
That consistency has helped Alderman have his best season. The junior converted inside linebacker leads the team with five sacks and 7.5 tackles for a loss.
"It was a change, playing against an offensive line, but I enjoy every bit of it," Alderman said. "Making a big play like that always excites the whole defense. It's never one person that makes a sack. The person that gets to the quarterback or makes a tackle for a loss couldn't do it without a push from the rest of the line."
The Crusaders are led by sophomore Nelson Hughes at quarterback. Hughes is a dual threat, with 2,122 yards and 18 touchdowns passing. While his rushing totals aren't impressive statistically, Hughes is mobile and quarterbacks that can tuck it and run usually give the Eagles' defense trouble.
"He (Hughes) can make a lot of plays with his feet so we have to keep our eyes open and play our block first," Alderman said. "We can't get stuck in our ways and rush him like he's a quarterback that wants to sit in the pocket. You have to be willing to go out of your comfort zone.
"You've got to be able to adjust."

Have You Seen My Son?
By GalTime .com
By Gina Woods, GalTime Ambassador, Los Angeles for GalTime.com
In my office is a calendar. Now, it's not any ol' calendar, but one that marked a date that forever changed the world in which I lived!
March 19, 2003, two very specific things happened…
First, I received a generic letter from my son in boot camp sharing the particulars about how he could be contacted in the event of an emergency, and where I could send letters to remind him that home was only a memory away... and second, that day marked the beginning of the Invasion of Iraq.
Last week marked the 10 year anniversary of that fateful day, and for the past week I've been reading the hearts of mothers who also had specific dates that forever changed their lives. This is where, on a website for Marine Moms, I first read Daphne Crawford's heartfelt words. Daphne is from Baton Rouge, LA., and while I have never personally met her, the two us met there online and have been friends since 2003. On March 19, 2013, Daphne shared words she had written dated: March 19, 2003, and I would like to share them with you.

Have you seen my son? He was here just a minute ago.
He's that scrawny, snaggled tooth kid with the scraped up knees. He was just out front - drying mud pies on the back of his dad's brand new Mazda!
Have you seen my son? He was that lanky kid with braces standing in the church parking lot on Easter morning wearing high water dress pants because I forgot to check them the night before (He just wore them two weeks ago and they were fine!).
Have you seen my son? It's hard to tell what he looks like these days because he's usually bent over with his head stuck in the fridge, or leaning over the bathroom sink to see if there is anything on his chin to shave. His hair is still blond but it's hard to tell with all the gel. I know he still lives here because I can smell the cheap cologne he douses on by the gallon. Anyone?
Have you seen my son? He skipped his high school graduation and a week later he was on his way to boot camp. He said something to us about something he wanted to do before he started college???
Have you seen my son? He was that tall, handsome young man standing at attention in the back row on the Parade Deck wearing his uniform and new Eagle, Globe and Anchor pin on his cover. He was with a bunch of other guys who looked just as handsome. I know he was there - I've got it on video.
Surely you saw him, too.
Have you seen my son? He was on a plane headed to Camp Pendleton on the morning of Sept.11, 2001, when he landed safely in Dallas. I knew our time of fear was just beginning.
