I would like to say thanks to Daniel for the walk thru video. Nice representation and thanks for the heads up on potential problem areas.
As far as permanent hole locations on that end of the park we will do some tweeking for sure. We will definetly get some advice from other players. As for the dam shot; it will never be a permanent hole. There is a law against digging a hole in a dam. Maybe it could be on the backside of the dam or far left. There is a potential for a big hole there, but as I say, its up in the air.
I am looking forward to this tourny and tomorrow we will be out there after 4 pm to do some more work. We are gonna plant flags and signs on each tee. The signs will have hole letter and distance.
Thanks for your support. The Buffalo Chips will continue to improve the park.

If there were a threat of rain I'd suggest you could take some of the rubber mats from existing holes and use them on the temp holes to avoid getting big mud spots, but the weather looks great so that shouldn't be a problem.
As for digging on the dam, how did Dubois get away with it on the new course up there? I guess maybe it's far enough to the end of the dam, but it seems to me from memory that it's still on it.
"That's what she said."----Michael Scott
Only 17 spots left! Get in before it's to late! We'll have a waiting list.
We have some updates on the temp holes. More acurate measuments thanks to Adam, Martin and Shawn. They used the GPS method on the dam hole and got real distances. Everything remains the same except for B and G.
B long is 315
B short is 220 and will be used as a drop zone for the long pad if you are OB in the water. If you go OB over the walking path you will play 1 meter relief from the point your disc crossed the OB line.
B short will be played by Women, rec., and every category below. Yes, we have one short pad for the tourny and thats all. As of right now there is no sign up for B short. I will add one on Friday. There are two flags marking its location.
G is actually 300 ft. instead of 280
Today Shawn and I installed signage and flags on all the temp. holes.
Have fun practicing and keep your discs dry.

'Never too old for golf'
A trio of Everett men -- ages 83, 85 and 96 -- prove that point by teeing off every Friday morning at Legion Memorial Golf Course
Sean Ryan / The Herald
Veryl Nelson, 96, adds up the score as Don Hofstrand, 85, gets back into the cart during their weekly golf outing Friday morning at Legion Memorial Golf Course in Everett.
Sean Ryan / The Herald
John Clark, 83, chips onto the green at the 15th hole during his weekly round of golf with Veryl Nelson, 96, and Don Hofstrand, 85, at Legion Memorial golf course in Everett.
And for a group of elderly Everett men, that same formula has been working for upwards of two decades. It works well enough that they come back every Friday, even in the winter months when the sunshine is iffy.
Proving that golf is a sport for all ages, the trio of 83-year-old John Clark, 85-year-old Don Hofstrand and Veryl Nelson, a remarkably spry 96, is still hooking up for weekly games at Legion Memorial Golf Course.
Yes, they have made certain concessions to age. They used to play three times a week, but now just once. They have moved forward from the white tees to the yellow tees. They have dropped their games from 18 holes to nine holes. And the group had a longtime fourth member, but he had to drop out a year ago.
But despite the changes, the three men still crave the camaraderie, not to mention the joy of playing a game they love.
"It's exercise and the most beautiful scenery you'll ever find," said Clark, who spent his working years with Safeco Insurance. "It's just a good, good thing."
"The score doesn't mean anything to me anymore," said Nelson, a former optometrist. "It's just nice to be out here."
There are groups like this at golf courses all around Snohomish County, of course. What makes this threesome unique are the ages, and particular Nelson, who turns 97 in November. A player who's been down more fairways than most of us can imagine, he still plays a respectable game. Certainly not long, but usually down the middle.
"Veryl is 96 years old and he can beat me in golf," Clark said. "Can you imagine that? He's something else. He's very inspiring."
"Veryl has a real good swing," said Hofstrand, a former engineer with GTE. "He always plays really well. And he looks forward to it all week long. He can't wait to get out here on Friday."
Though the three men dutifully record their scores, they play only for fun. No money changes hands and no one pays for the refreshments after the round.
"Veryl and I have a little competition," said Hofstrand, who shares a cart with Nelson. "He'll keep our score and at the end of the day, he'll say 'I beat you by one stroke' or 'You beat me by two strokes.' And that's it. That's all the competition there is."
All three men credit golf with keeping them fit. Hofstrand lives in an Everett retirement home and says many of his fellow residents "are running around there with walkers. But I don't want to get to that stage yet. I (sometimes) use a cane out there, but I try to get around without it.
"I've always been active -- I used to ski and all that stuff -- so it was just a natural thing to play golf. And I think I'm a lot healthier from being out here. I'm quite flexible. I can really do a lot of twisting and turning."
Added Clark, who still walks the course, "Before I retired, I used to just sit and watch football games and drink beer over the weekend. And sometimes my back would be so stiff that I couldn't get out of the chair." His wife encouraged him to play golf, "and it's the best thing that ever happened to me."
The question, of course, is how long these men can keep playing. Put another way, at what age does someone get too old for golf?
Clark has a quick reply. "You're never too old for golf," he said. "I'll play as long as I can. Because that's the one thing I still look forward to, is playing golf."
"I'll just keep going as long as I can afford to do it," Hofstrand said. "Because we're all just tickled to death to be out here."
As for Nelson, "I'm amazed that I can still get out here at my age," he said. "But I don't think I'm too old. If I get to the point where I can't walk, then I'll probably quit. But I'll keep it up as long as I can."

Hey everyone!
As you can see I've updated the look of the site once again. I feel the new look is more easier to read and looks more professional IMO. Nothing else has changed so don't worry!
This is going to be the last major overhaul on how the site will look for a while but in 6 months to a year who knows? Only thing that will happen now is minor tweaks here and there.
I'm also working on implanting a few new features to the site as in a video directory, and other things that I've slacked on.
As always if you find any problems please let me know on here or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

(Editor's note: To protect the integrity of this story, some words are used within quotes that some readers will find offensive.)
A former Negro League player who competed against some of the greatest in the annals of baseball history has quite a story to tell.
Carl Long, best known for his play with the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Leagues and the Kinston Eagles of the Carolina League, will have a book signing Saturday at Christopher's Café for his autobiography, "A Game of Faith."
Diane Taylor, owner of Taylor Made Publishing and co-author of "A Game of Faith," said she hopes to see many residents from the city out to the book signing.
"This is the first one he's had in Kinston," Taylor said. "I think it's important for the community to support someone who considers Kinston home. Some residents are familiar with him, but this is an opportunity to buy his book, which will also be placed in the Library of Congress."
The book signing will be held from 9-11 a.m. The event is open to the public and the autobiography can be purchased for $14.99 plus tax.
"Carl has been a great friend of mine for a number of years," Christopher's Café owner Christopher Maroules said. "When the book came out, I said he should have the signing here. We felt it would be a place people wouldn't have problems finding and it would be a very informal event. (Christopher's) will make no money off of it."
Long, born in Rock Hill, S.C. on May 9, 1935, made his debut in the Negro Leagues at age 16, playing with the Nashville Stars in 1951. He also spent two years with the Birmingham Black Barons, competing with and against Hall of Fame talent.
"The best hitter I've ever played with was Willie Mays," Long said. "I got to play with all of the greats throughout the years: Hank Aaron, Cool Papa Bell, Satchel Paige, Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella. We would go across the nation, and had it not been for baseball, I'd still be in Rock Hill picking cotton."
During his tenure in the Negro Leagues, Long had to deal with racism and heckling at almost every destination.
"They called me everything but a child of God, but it made me a better person," Long said. "The Lord has a way of helping people, which is why I tell people to stick with God. He has truly seen me through some things."
Long said some of the things he witnessed could scar many others.
"We would be on the bus going to places like Mississippi and see blacks hanging from the limbs of trees," Long said. "When we got to some ballparks, the sheriff would be out there saying, 'We want you niggers out of here by sundown.' We would play our day game and get out.
"There were places we couldn't even eat from. We also couldn't stay in the motels or take showers, so we would have to hop in the river to wash."
Still, the baseball teams he played on showcased their talent, even beating their white counterparts in exhibition matches — sometimes too handily.
"We used to beat them down to the point where our skipper would say during the game 'don't get any more runs, because we need to get out of the ballpark safely,' " Long said.
In 1954, Long was signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates and played for their minor league team, the St. Jean Canadians. He played for several other minor league teams, including the Kinston Eagles in 1956.
During his year with the Eagles, Long also found his wife, Ella. After the season, the two were married and recently celebrated their 57th anniversary.
"We got married on Sept. 8, 1956," Long said. "I didn't want to go back to the cotton fields. I found true love and wanted to stay here."
Long dealt with discrimination throughout his season with the Eagles, but played extremely well, hitting .291 with 18 home runs and 111 runs batted in. His RBI mark still stands to this day.
Long particularly remembers one night game in Greensboro where he used racial hatred to his advantage.
"There was a white man in the crowd saying things like, 'Hit that nigger, hit him upside the head,' " Long said. "In that game, I had two home runs, a double and a single. There was a white lady sitting next to him and she said, 'Quit calling that colored boy names because he's knocking the ball all over the place.'
"The next day in a day game, the same guy was there and sat in the same seat. He didn't open his mouth the entire game and I went 0 for 4."
Long continued to make history in Kinston after retiring from baseball in 1958, becoming the first black deputy sheriff, then the first black detective two years later.
The time in law enforcement brought him closer to the city.
"I helped a lot of people here and talked to them about the law," Long said. "I've solved murder cases and break-ins.'
After 12 years as a detective, Long became the first black commercial bus driver with Trailways in 1972. He worked there until retiring in 1995 and even had some interaction with former President Bill Clinton.
"I took Bill around Kinston in my bus twice," Long said. "I took him on my route and to Grainger Stadium."
In July, Long and several other former Negro League players were invited to the White House. President Barack Obama professed his appreciation and admiration for what the players went through and persevered.
"When I went to the White House, I told him, 'I'm some kind of proud of you for everything you've done,' " Long said. "He said, 'I'm some kind of proud of you for everything you've done.' I also told him, 'I've got your back,' and later on, I received a letter from him and in it, he said 'I've got yours too.' "
Long is thankful for the opportunities he's had throughout the years from playing baseball.
"Baseball is fun," Long said. "It's the greatest game in the world. If it wasn't for that and family, I would've never come here."

Spank believes that grip size matters. The Tugg Job grips are 145mm long with a 50mm flange. They are ultra thin and responsive. They are constructed of Custom Kryton Rubber compound, which is a well balanced density offering longevity and moderate tacky comfort. Perhaps your current grips feature most or all of these features, but are they scented? Probably Not. The Tugg Job features delectable scents such as apple, grape, berry, vanilla, orange, and good 'ol fashion rubber scent. Enjoy!

Comments about Spank Tugg Job Scented Grips:
The design is simply awesome when it comes to comfort, gloved or barehanded. The scent is not overpowering but pleasant, just a plus in my opinion and the bar plugs that come with it are well designed and easy to install while not being the lightest design available. They feel soft and tough. Wish there were more colors/flavors or other sizes available for larger hands. Overall an above average quality inward embossed design. Will definitely recommend to friends and purchase in the future.

I have had these grips on my bars for around 2 months. I will definately buy these grips when it comes time to buy new grips. Spank's Tugg Job grips are really grippy, stylish and they last a good amount of time. Right now I'm on my first pair and when it comes time to get new grips I will buy new grips.

Burlington's City Council followed in the county's footsteps Tuesday and approved incentives for Kayser-Roth Corp's expansion plan, expected to create 50 new full-time jobs.
The company's chief financial officer cited keeping manufacturing jobs in the United States as a reason local governments –- or "partners" in commerce, as he considered them -– should provide incentives to the sock manufacturer's project.
On Monday, the Alamance County Board of Commissioners approved incentives in the amount of $360,000, paid over five years in installments of $72,000. The City Council voted to give $360,000 in incentives to Kayser-Roth, to be paid in four annual installments of $90,000.
County Manager Craig Honeycutt said Monday the county's amount is based upon the initial new taxable valuation increase of $18 million in planned capital investment.
Of that $18 million, $12 million would be invested for a building and land expansion with $6 million invested in machinery and equipment.
Todd Howard, CFO of Kayser-Roth, said, "We have an opportunity in front of us that will allow us to -– if we can pull it off -– increase our production capacity by 12 million pairs of socks a year," which is an increase in annual production of 30 percent.
The 180,000-square-foot expansion, set to begin during the fourth quarter of 2014 and be completed by 2015, would create at least 50 new full-time jobs, and Howard said Tuesday, "I do expect the number will be larger than this."
"While our competition over the years has taken manufacturing and jobs overseas … we have continued to invest in the United States and support jobs in the United States," said Howard. "That remains a core value of ours."
"Because of that it's a very challenging project to pull off, financially," he said.
During the public hearing, Burlington resident Steve Carter said, "If they can't do the job on their own, they need to get out of the business or find something else to do."
He said he had no problem with Kayser-Roth, but the company's private project's success shouldn't depend on the contributions of tax-payers' money.
"It should be able to stand on its own," Carter said.
Howard said, "The idea is a made-in-the-USA initiative, where we would partner with some retailers," to supply a better-quality sock that is 100 percent made in the United States, and sold "at a better price than what our foreign competitors are offering."
To make that happen, Howard said Kayser-Roth is reaching out to its partners, from raw material suppliers to utility providers and retailers, to create a collaborative effort.
"One of those partners, of course, is the government," Howard said.
Burlington resident John Brooks said, "I wish that government and business would really not be business partners." He said, "In my own personal businesses, I haven't got special consideration."
Rick White, also of Burlington, told the council, "I just wish you would, going forward, look at more creative ways" of bringing industry to Burlington. "Instead of throwing money at them all the time." White said, "It seems like the easy and simple way out."
Mayor Pro Tem David Huffman said he wished the state legislature would prevent local municipalities from being able to offer incentives to gain industry leaders. He said, "I wish the shape of the field was not as it is."
But if Burlington took the position of not providing incentives to any more businesses, the city would be eliminated from future businesses' location considerations, Huffman said. He said football players develop plays to fit the field, and if the shape of the field were to change they'd change their plays.
So it is with cities, Huffman said. "We're using the tools that we have available to us," he said.
One person spoke in favor of the incentives, adding that the City Council should consider putting more money into a public transportation system that would ensure the 50 new Kayser-Roth employees could get to work.
"I saw the council move with great speed and alacrity … to consider incentives to Kayser Roth," said Alex Alfonso. He said the city should move equally quickly to establish a transit system, as its costs will never be as cheap as they are now.
The City Council voted unanimously to approve the incentives. Councilman Jim Butler was absent from the meeting.

Releases are now performed using Maven 2 so you need to have Maven 2 installed (see the building page).
- There four code trunks which have separate release cycles (in this order): pom, resources, core, extensions.
- In each code trunk:
- Check if there have been SVN commits on that artifact since the latest stable release. If there have been, you'll need to release.
- The parent and resources typically don't change between versions.
- In the artifact's topmost pom.xml, if there are links to other trunks (
core/pom.xmlcontains a property called
cargo.resources.version, for example), update these to the latest release
- Release the code trunk
- In the artifact's topmost pom.xml, change the links to the other trunks' versions to the new SNAPSHOT version
- Check if there have been SVN commits on that artifact since the latest stable release. If there have been, you'll need to release.
- Before releasing, make sure what is going to be released is fully functional. In particular, run the core/samples using the all-downloadable profile (
mvn clean install -Pall-downloadable).
- The Continous Integration for CARGO actually passes tests for all containers. Green ones are doing well
- If any container is not passing, move it to the all-unstable-downloadable list.
- Make sure all containers in the all-stable-downloadable profile pass the samples.
- Releases are done with the maven release plugin.
- We use the Codehaus Nexus instance for releases. Read more about it on Codehaus Maven Repository Usage Guide
- In particular, you need to have the GNU privacy guard (GPG) installed on your machine and at least one secret key. The secret key's public part must have been uploaded to the MIT PGP Public Key Server.
- You must provide your Codehaus Xircles credentials using your
settings.xmlfile (in the ${user.home}/.m2/ directory). Here's an example
- Start by erasing your local Maven repository (${user.home}/.m2/repository/, unless you've reconfigured this in your settings.xml). This will ensure that you don't have any artifacts cached locally that can't be found in public repositories.
- The typical Maven release procedure is to execute these commands for each trunk (i.e. repeat this for each trunk):
- Please do a dry-run before doing the actual release to ensure there aren't any problems:
mvn clean release:prepare -DdryRun=true
mvn release:prepare: the actual release preparation, with the actual tagging process
- If the Subversion commit fails, try executing the same command but add
-Dusername=your_user_name -Dpassword=your_password(of course, replace with your own user name and password on the CARGO SCM)
- If the Subversion commit fails, try executing the same command but add
mvn release:perform: deploys the tagged artifacts on the Codehaus repository (itself mirrored by the Maven central repository, with a delay of a few hours)
- If you're running on Maven 2.2.0 (note: that's the version that ships with MacOS X Snow Leopard), you might run into SHA1 and MD5 signature verification issues. Please upgrade to Maven 2.2.1.
- You might get a message saying
Error deploying artifact: Failed to create destination WebDAV collection (directory): unable to find valid certification path to requested target, that's because the Codehaus HTTPS WebDAV servers' certificate is not installed on your computer. In this case:
- Download and compile the program from http://blogs.sun.com/andreas/resource/InstallCert.java
- Execute the program
java InstallCert dav.codehaus.organd make it install one of the certificates. If you run the program again, it should be happy and tell you that all certificates are installed.
- Add the generated
jssecacertsfile to your
- If you get a message saying:
Error deploying artifact: Failed to transfer file. Return code is: 401 Unauthorized, please make sure your credentials in the
settings.xmlfile are correct.
- Once the release has been performed, send an e-mail to the CARGO list so users can try out the new version from the Codehaus Nexus staging repository.
- Once you're assured that it is stable, follow the guide on closing a staging repository on Codehaus Nexus and releasing a closed staging repository on Codehaus Nexus in order to release the CARGO artifacts to Maven2 central.
- Note: The artifacts cannot be taken back once they've reached the Maven2 central.
- If it is unstable, you can also drop that staging repository on Codehaus Nexus.
- Please do a dry-run before doing the actual release to ensure there aren't any problems:
- We use the Codehaus Nexus instance for releases. Read more about it on Codehaus Maven Repository Usage Guide
- Log onto Cargo JIRA, release the current version and add the next version.
- Check that the Cargo wiki is up to date. Specifically, perform the following updates:
- Modify the status on the home page about the delivery:
- Make sure the Containers list is complete
- Make sure the Navigation page is complete
- Make sure the Javadocs for the Core Containers are complete
- Make sure the documentation for each container is up to date. The source files (that you need to copy-paste in each container's page manually) are generated in core/documentation/target/[container's name].log.
- Move the old version to the Archived Downloads page
- Remember to move the old documentation archive from the Downloads page to that page as well
- Modify the Home and Downloads pages to update the download links, available version number and release note links
- Export the wiki to a zipped HTML file (select all pages except for the Downloads page) and add it the Downloads page
- Modify the status on the home page about the delivery:
- Send an announcement email to Cargo mailing lists ... and to other relevent sites you know about. Mailing lists of some servers can also be interesting.
- Create a blog post

The Vodacom Cheetahs scored an emphatic 55-14 win over Griquas in their opening Absa Currie Cup match on Saturday.
The Cheetahs led 29-0 at the break. The defending champions scored eight tries to two, but Griquas' five-pointers game in the dying moment as the Cheetahs took the foot off the pedal.
It was a solid display from the Cheetahs pack as they layed the platform for a commanding opening display that will have signalled to the chasing pack they are serious about defending their title.
The win and bonus point took them to the top of the Currie Cup table after the opening round.

Sea turtle No. 1301 didn't even wave goodbye.
It was helped to the back of a patrol boat owned by the Port of Long Beach by a few hands, then slipped into the Pacific Ocean with a tiny splash, paddling a bit just below the surface in the swelling ocean five miles off the coast of Seal Beach.
It quickly disappeared, last seen swimming in a southeast direction to warmer water.
"I'm relieved it's done," said Lance Adams, the veterinarian from the Aquarium of the Pacific who had the job of nursing back to health the sea creature that's listed on the endangered species list.
Adams will be logging onto his computer today to see where the sea turtle is headed based on satellite coordinates sent via a transmitter glued to the top of its shell. It'll be a month before the transmitter falls off on its own, he said.
The olive ridley sea turtle – which was dubbed "No. 1301" to signify the creature becoming the first sea turtle of the year to get nursed back to health by the Aquarium of the Pacific – washed up on the Venice Beach shoreline and was found underweight in early January.
"Not many get trapped up here," Adams said of the coastal Los Angeles discovery.
When found in January, the turtle weighed 63 pounds, down from its normal weight of 100, and had buoyancy problems.
Her body temperature was a chilly 42 degrees, down about 30 degrees from the normal 70 degrees when swimming in the waters off the central shoreline of Mexico, considered the indigenous home for this species.
In sea turtle parlance, the olive ridley was "cold-stunned" by drifting off course from its warmer habitat to the south, Adams said.
The sea turtle also suffered from "positive buoyancy," a condition in which the carnivore can't dive for food, such as lobster and crab.
Shortly after it came to the aquarium, No. 1301 got a medical check-up that included blood work, X-rays and other tests.
It was injected with antibiotics for a month, then given X-rays to see if it had ingested a plastic bottle or had a fish hook lodged in her throat or stomach. Nothing showed up. Neither were there external wounds to her eyes, ears or nose, Adams said.
Over the past eight months, Adams said the sea turtle was nursed back to health in a six-foot-deep tank of water, which he slowly warmed up to about 60 degrees after a few days in order to keep it from dying of shock.
The prognosis for the turtle was that it had possible "lung lesion issues" that had led to its buoyancy, underweight and hypothermic problems.

Well, it's been over a month since the Ribbon Cutting on June 2, and now it looks like the Central Trail (southern extension) is almost complete. It seem like we went weeks with no progress on the few remaining gaps. Now, all that's left are a few curb finishes, where it crosses Polk Street.
There is also some great news with the trail extension, just north of Arapaho Road. The 'bonus' connection to the DART Arapaho station is really taking shape. The forms are up and you can see the full length of that section.
For those of you wondering how they intend to connect the trail to the train platform, that mystery has been answered. They are installing a small bridge that goes over the sub-Greenville Avenue tunnel ramp. Now you can connect directly from the trail to the Aprapho Station platform without having to cross to the entrance on the other side of Greenville.

A Grief Observed
A Grief Observed (Hardcover)
Written with love, humility, and faith, this brief but poignant volume was first published in 1961 and concerns the death of C. S. Lewis's wife, the American-born poet Joy Davidman. In her introduction to this new edition, Madeleine L'Engle writes: "I am grateful to Lewis for having the courage to yell, to doubt, to kick at God in angry violence. This is a part of a healthy grief which is not often encouraged. It is helpful indeed that C. S. Lewis, who has been such a successful apologist for Christianity, should have the courage to admit doubt about what he has so superbly proclaimed. It gives us permission to admit our own doubts, our own angers and anguishes, and to know that they are part of the soul's growth."
Written in longhand in notebooks that Lewis found in his home, A Grief Observed probes the "mad midnight moments" of Lewis's mourning and loss, moments in which he questioned what he had previously believed about life and death, marriage, and even God. Indecision and self-pity assailed Lewis. "We are under the harrow and can't escape," he writes. "I know that the thing I want is exactly the thing I can never get. The old life, the jokes, the drinks, the arguments, the lovemaking, the tiny, heartbreaking commonplace." Writing A Grief Observed as "a defense against total collapse, a safety valve," he came to recognize that "bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love."
Lewis writes his statement of faith with precision, humor, and grace. Yet neither is Lewis reluctant to confess his continuing doubts and his awareness of his own human frailty. This is precisely the quality which suggests that A Grief Observed may become "among the great devotional books of our age."

Miranda Wang and Jeanny Yao:
Two young scientists break down plastics with bacteria
Once it's created, plastic (almost) never dies. While in 12th grade Miranda Wang and Jeanny Yao went in search of a new bacteria to biodegrade plastic — specifically by breaking down phthalates, a harmful plasticizer. They found an answer surprisingly close to home.

U.S. soldier Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl appears in a video released by the Taliban on Dec. 25, 2009.
Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl left a military hospital in Germany on Thursday afternoon and will arrive in the United States early Friday, officials said.
The former Taliban prisoner is expected to land in San Antonio overnight and be taken to the Brooke Army Medical Center.
Bergdahl will not make any public appearances during Phase 3 of his reintegration process, and there will be no media access to his return or his stay at Brooke Army Medical Center.
'Our first priority is making sure that Sgt. Bergdahl continues to get the care and support he needs," Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said.
After being freed from nearly five years of Taliban captivity in a controversial prisoner swap, Bergdahl was sent to the U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany.
Earlier this week, officials said Bergdahl was in "good enough physical condition to allow him to return to the United States," but "not ready psychologically or emotionally."
At that point, he had not yet spoken to his family in Hailey, Idaho, where a big homecoming celebration was canceled amid a firestorm over the circumstances of his disappearance and debate over the prisoner exchange that won his release.

Some of Bergdahl's fellow former soldiers have portrayed him as a deserter who walked off a remote outpost in eastern Afghanistan before he was captured.
They claim other service members were killed looking for him, but Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel disputed that during a congressional hearing on Wednesday.
The Pentagon says the details of how Bergdahl ended up in enemy hands will be investigated, but has defended the secret deal that freed him.
The trade has been attacked by members of Congress who are outraged that they were not told ahead of time, and by those who say the five Taliban detainees transferred out of Guantanamo Bay to Qatar were too dangerous to free.

'Give it a rest,' USPTO chief tells patent critics
Wednesday - 11/21/2012, 1:18pm EST
The director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office offered a forceful defense of his agency and of the patentability of software amid an ongoing debate over whether software ought to be entitled to patent protection.
While USPTO chief David Kappos acknowledged software is a challenging topic, critics need to let the system work as various updates to the nations' patent laws come into effect, he said Tuesday in a speech at the Center for American Progress.
"The key provisions of the America Invents Act have just gone into effect two months ago, and our initiatives within PTO are just newly effective as well," he said. "So, to the commentators declaring the system is broken, I say: Give it a rest already, and give the AIA a chance to work. Give it a chance to even get started."
Ongoing patent war
David Kappos
Kappos' comments come in the context of an ongoing patent war between the largest makers of smartphones and mobile operating systems. The most visible battle reached a climax three months ago when a federal jury found Samsung had violated several patents held by Apple and ordered a $1 billion payment to the maker of iPhones and iPads.
While the two companies' court battles over handheld gadgets involve the intellectual property of both hardware and software, some critics of the patent system have used the case to argue that software patents ought to be eliminated altogether.
Kappos made it clear he disagrees.
"Because many breathtaking software-implemented innovations power our modern world at levels of efficiency and performance unthinkable 50 years ago, patent protection is every bit as well-deserved for software-implemented innovation as for the innovations that enabled man to fly, and before that for the innovations that enabled man to light the dark with electricity, and before that for the innovations that enabled the industrial revolution," he said. "To those commenting on the smartphone patent wars with categorical statements that blame the 'broken' system on bad software patents, I say get the facts. They don't support your position."
USPTO undertook own research
Kappos said the Patent and Trademark Office wanted the facts too, so it did its own research on whether its examiners are up to snuff in tackling the highly-technical and constantly changing area of software innovation as it decides whether or not a particular patent application should be granted. PTO decided to look specifically at patents it had granted that wound up being topics of litigation in the smartphone industry.
"We decided to undertake our own study to look at the U.S. patents involved in some of the highest profile litigation among major firms in the smartphone industry. We found that in the vast majority of these cases, over 80 percent, the courts have construed the software patents at issue as valid," he said. "And an ongoing look at statistics in USPTO bear out a similar conclusion — rejections in software patent applications taken to our appeals board are upheld at a slightly higher rate than for the office as a whole, and those few decisions appealed to the Federal Circuit are affirmed 95 percent of the time.
While the patent system is designed to encourage innovation by giving inventors an incentive to release their ideas into the marketplace and describe how they work, critics say USPTO has done the opposite: discouraging innovation by issuing patents for software that are so broad that their holders can sue potential competitors over frivolous issues, then leaving it to the courts to sort out the mess.
Another criticism: Software patents are big business — so big that only big companies like Apple and Google can afford to participate. One recent analysis of corporate filings by the New York Times found the smartphone industry now spends more on patent fights than it does on research and development.
But Kappos said smartphones are certainly not the first subject of an expensive patent war and won't be the last. He said since many breakthrough innovations such as GPS and robotic surgery interweave both inventive hardware and software, it would be imprudent and discriminatory to hold software innovation to a different standard.
"Why would we tell the team working on a clamp that holds a scalpel their innovation is worthy of protection, but tell the programmers whose algorithm guides that clamp with unerring precision their innovation is not?" Kappos said. "And what amount of venture capital would that team of innovators raise if half of their innovation was free to be lifted by their competitors the moment they put it in the marketplace? Discrimination against a form of innovation that is increasingly critical to technological advancement, indeed that in many areas dominates technological advancement, makes no sense."
Kappos: Software patents to be more consistent
That doesn't mean USPTO doesn't face challenges with software patents, Kappos acknowledged. He says the agency believes patents for software need to be narrowly tailored.
"Programmers need to be able to write code and engineers need to be able to design devices without fear of unfounded accusations of infringement," he said. "And we know that inconsistency in software patent issuance causes uncertainty in the marketplace and can cause threats of litigation that in turn can stifle innovation and deter new market entrants. At the USPTO, we recognize this as a serious concern."
But Kappos said those concerns should be mitigated by the fact that that PTO's decisions have been mostly upheld in the court system and by the America Invents Act, the patent reform overhaul President Obama signed a year ago. One provision lets outside parties issue challenges to patents if they think a patent examiner gave the go-ahead without knowing all the relevant facts.
"Given the enormous amount of prior art information now available and its innumerable sources, it can be challenging for a patent examiner to find all the relevant prior art for every patent application," he said. "It's worse still for software, where much prior art is in the form of previously written software, which is difficult to find and more difficult to understand unless you wrote it."
Under the new patent law, third parties can submit prior art to PTO examiners to in reference to patent applications, Kappos said. As of last Tuesday — just two months after implementing the new law — the agency has received nearly 150 third-party submissions covering all types of technologies, including software, he said.
Kappos said PTO also has strengthened its guidelines for when a patent should be granted, invested in training for its patent examiners, and given them more time to research the details of complicated patent applications when it's not easy to determine whether or not there's prior art. More than 17,000 hours of technical training was provided to examiners last year, Kappos said, including 32 specific software-related courses.

The 31 seniors on
They left their mark on an already tradition-rich program.
The Bears finished with an unblemished 15-0 record, and edged out
It was the school's second championship in the past five seasons.
"It's tradition," said
What made this year special was that the Bears finally reached the state championship game following two previous losses in the semifinals.
As sophomores, they lost to Durham Hillside, 12-7, and as juniors, they fell to Scotland County, 61-28.
"We were a whole lot more focused this time because we didn't want to lose in the semifinals like we did the past two years," said senior Chandler Powell. "When
Seniors came up big on the game-winning drive of the title game, which began on
Quarterback Josh Taylor completed passes to Powell and Bra'lon Cherry.
Jachin Watkins scored the go-head touchdown on a two-yard run with 26 seconds remaining.
"It was pretty emotional because we put everything into the season," said Taylor, who was the state championship game's Most Valuable Player. "We just bought into what Coach (Bobby) Curlings wanted us to do. We have big senior classes every year, so senior leadership is important every year."
"I think it was probably being a part of the senior class,"
Watkins, the state championship game's Most Outstanding Offensive Player, had four rushing touchdowns in the title game.
On the season, he ran for 1,336 yards and 20 touchdowns.
Bra'lon Cherry led the Bears with 666 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns, while Powell racked up 662 receiving yards and eight scores.
"We've been playing together since middle school, so we've really bonded," said Matau. "We knew this year that we had to make up for the two years that we lost, so it brought us closer.
"These guys are my brothers and I wouldn't want to play with anybody else."
Bra'lon Cherry (four interceptions) and Sam Wheatley (two interceptions).
On the line, Naquandre Hill was a key run-stuffer. Marquay Becton (16 sacks) was a sack machine and Lawrence Drew made key plays.
Linebackers Tyler Ebron, Tyrone Whitehead and Thomas Strickland were key performers.
"Everybody knew what they wanted," said Zahair Cherry. "Everybody wanted the ring and the state championship and they knew what it took to get there.
"As soon as someone went down, another one was ready to step up. It was about the whole team stepping up."

This is a GREAT wig! My hairdresser was the only one who knew it was a wig! She was amazed that I ordered it, sight unseen, from a catalog and it was so close to my own hair color. I got it in SF 51/60 and as it is grayer on top and to the front, like my own hair, it gradually blends to a darker color in the back down to my neckline. My only problem is that the bangs are a bit too long. If I place it further back on my head it feels like it will come off, but the gel head band that came today seems to help with that. I do wish a "How to" brochure/booklet came with each wig to show a first time wig owner how to put it on properly. Also, including a NEW catalog with each order would be great! I have others ask if I had an extra catalog as they were interested in ordering one as well. Besides, mine has gotten very worn with use, and I could use a new one. I would probably order another wig in this color, but maybe a style with a little wave in it for dress-up purposes, like I had used a curling iron. I would use this one for just going shopping, but to church, a slightly curved style would be nice. For my first wig purchase, this one has done fine. Is much easier than having to try to match a hat to every outfit.

I tried to shape it, but it just wouldn't do a thing. I don't know how other people thought it was nice. My husband said it looked like I had thinning hair when it was on. Don't waste your money

I am reviewing this wig after trying it out of the box, so I don't know how it wears long term. However, it looks realistic and it's a fun style. I do think the model had the front trimmed to frame her face, as the front of the wig is a little long out of the box.

I now have no hair. When I had hair, I found this wig to be small and feared its springing off my head. Now, since I have lost my hair, it fits better so I wear it in public. However, I still find the #27 hair color io be weird. I have labeled it "Mouse."
