Military: careers that beckon college graduates.
Brewer began his naval career on May 17, 1970. He was a member of the first graduating class of the first Naval ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) unit at a HBCU, Prairie View A & M University in Prairie View, Texas. Brewer's current position is as commander of the Military Sealift Command in Washington, D.C., where he oversees the provisioning of equipment, fuel, supplies, and ammunition to U.S. forces worldwide. His command has more than 8,000 military and civilian personnel and operates some 120 ships worldwide.
When Brewer graduated from that ROTC class in 1970, only 250 of 72,000 total officers in the Navy were African-Americans. There were no African-American admirals, said Brewer, who was promoted in October 2002 to his current rank, receiving his third star.
"When I started my career, given the 250 versus the 72,000, I had a tough time. I had to overcome a lot of what I considered to be inherent bias in the Navy toward African Americans. But I did have a lot of role models along the way, both African American and white, and they really sustained me throughout my career," Brewer said, who was born in Farmville, Va., and reared in Orlando, Fla.
Wilson said the Army first provided him to be part of an elaborate and focused organization and secondly afforded a support structure that allowed him to succeed. "The military has been a model for young people to come in and develop themselves, to be nurtured, to receive support and understand they are part of a team," said Wilson, who earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and a master's in logistics management from the Florida Institute of Technology. In the military, almost every job found in private industry can be found in the armed services. About 88 percent of all military jobs have an equivalent position in civilian life, according to the Department of Defense.
Here is a snapshot of careers offered by the U.S. Armed Services--the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines--made up of 1.5 million officers and enlistees:
The Army says that to be a U.S. Army soldier is to be a part of the world's best fighting force. Soldiers spend their days training, working, and serving together to protect America's freedoms. But the Army wants college graduates to know that they also have time after work for family, friends and personal interests. From recruitment to retirement, the Army seeks to provide a unique and diverse lifestyle for soldiers.
The Army, which has about 500,000 active duty personnel through Sept. 30, 2004, including 81,000 officers, is offering enticements such as money to repay college loans and payments for college tuition, job training, world travel, and health benefits. New active duty enlistees are receiving about $1,400 to $1,800 per month in pay, and bonuses averaging $9,000 are used to entice those recruits with special skills and qualifications. The Army's goal by Sept. 30, 2005 is to sign up 80,000 new active duty soldiers, compared with 77,000 at the end of fiscal 2004.
The first step in becoming a soldier is working with a recruiter. The Army wants its recruiters to learn why each soldier's role in the Army is important. Soldiers are given every opportunity to grow--especially when it comes to careers. The Army seeks to give soldiers the physical and mental strength, job skills, and leadership capabilities that will serve them whether they continue their careers in the Army or as civilians.
The Army has more than 150 job categories for soldiers on active duty and more than 120 for those in the Army Reserve, whether it's working with computers, assisting physicians or fixing helicopters. Broad career areas include administrative support, arts and media, combat, construction and engineering, law enforcement, and transportation and aviation. Every soldier earns money and benefits for his or her service--whether as an officer or an enlisted soldier on active duty or in the Army Reserve. Army personnel are provided with housing and meals if they live on post or money to help pay for them if they live off post.
One of the most important benefits that you may have as a soldier is money to further your education or to pay off your existing student loans. Military skills-training is important to the Army, but so is encouraging you, as soldiers, to attend college or take continuing education courses. As a soldier you may take advantage of the Montgomery GI Bill and the Army College Fund as ways to pay for your college education--up to a total of $70,000 for those soldiers on active duty.
For college students, the Army ROTC program operates on more than 700 campuses nationwide. Army ROTC Cadets gain practical experience in management and problem solving while training to become Army officers. And college students, or those on their way to college, can compete for up to $17,000 per year in tuition scholarships, with generous textbook allowances. The Army also partners with more than 1,600 colleges and four-year universities to help soldiers get higher education during or after their tour of service. Online college correspondence courses are also available to soldiers, and the Army will provide the computers.
The 54,000 officers in the U.S. Navy are among the most well respected men and women who serve in the U.S. military. For college graduates, Navy career fields are limitless--aviation, engineering, healthcare, intelligence and communication, legal, public affairs, special operations, and supply, transportation, logistics. The Navy's goal is to offer careers to graduates that match their talents and interests. The Navy's total force of officers and enlistees is 374,000.
The Navy believes its versatility--operating on land, on water, in the air and under the sea--translates into diverse career choices. For an officer, privileges include signing bonuses for college credits and degrees; advanced training with full pay and allowances; use of officers' clubs worldwide; career and promotion opportunities; 30 days paid vacation annually; money to pay off student loans, and incentives to earn advanced degrees.
Naval officer candidates must attend Officer Candidate School, a 13-week program that challenges members with coursework, physical fitness, and military training, laying a foundation for their Navy careers. Other prerequisites are a bachelor's degree from an accredited university and being 19-34 years old.
For those starting college, the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) can offer students a four-year scholarship worth up to $150,000 at top colleges or universities. Students get to focus on their studies and college life without worrying about how to pay the bill. The scholarship can provide enough money to cover up to four or five years of tuition, textbook fees, a monthly spending allowance, and other related fees.
In the Navy, and all branches of the U.S. military, pay depends on rank and years of service. Promotions depend on performance and seniority. In general, Navy personnel are eligible for advancement after nine months. In addition, personnel at some duty stations are eligible for additional Cost of Living Allowances. Benefits include living accommodations or housing allowances, free dining services or food allowances, a uniform allowance, and full healthcare benefits. Officer salaries too are based on rank and seniority. The monthly pay for an ensign upon receiving commission, for instance, is $2,848.50 plus allowances and benefits.
If you have a college degree or are about to earn one, the 377,000-strong Air Force encourages its recruits to take officer and advanced training. The Air Force Institute of Technology, located at Wright-Patterson AFB, in Ohio, is the Air Force's graduate school of engineering and management as well as its institution for technical professional continuing education. AFIT provides defense-focused graduate and professional continuing education and research to sustain the technological supremacy of America's air and space forces. AFIT has three resident schools: the Graduate School of Engineering and Management, the School of Systems and Logistics, and the Civil Engineer and Services School.
The Air Force's Officer Training School and ROTC provide the two major pipelines to becoming one of the 74,000 officers in the branch. About 80 percent of new Air Force officers each year come through one of these two programs. The Air Force has ROTC detachments at seven HBCUs: Tennessee State University, Tuskegee University, Howard University, Grambling State University, Fayetteville State University, Alabama State University and North Carolina A & T State University. One goal of the Air Force is to establish an ongoing relationship with HBCU institutions. The Air Force also has 744 Junior ROTC units on high school campuses around the world, covering more than 103,000 cadets.
The Air Force also has a formal mentoring program that offers opportunities to every officer, enlisted, civilian, guard or reservist in the Air Force. The program's goal is to help every Air Force person reach his or her full potential through a network of support where mentoring is considered everyone's responsibility, not just that of supervisors.
Like the other service branches, the Air Force offers generous tuition assistance to its personnel. The Air Force tuition assistance program is designed to help active-duty personnel pursue voluntary, off-duty educational opportunities, paying 100 percent of the cost of college courses with a limit of $4,500 per fiscal year. Courses and degree programs may be academic or technical and can be taken from two- or four-year institutions on-base, off-base, or by correspondence. The College Loan Repayment Program offers those who have taken some college courses and accumulated debt an opportunity to help reduce the debt.
The Air Force pilot is a glamour occupation. Pilots and flight specialists have a unique blend of skill and determination that helps keep the Air Force at the pinnacle of air and space power. From airborne missions, to equipment and personnel transportation, to bombing missions, Air Force pilots and their teams get the job done. As an officer in flight specialties, a multitude of opportunities exist.
For those working in non-technical Air Force specialties, coordinating resources and leading mission preparation offer key career opportunities. Positions include jobs in intelligence, manpower, personnel, security forces and communications. In addition, the Air Force offers a number of specialty careers, such as chaplain, combat control officer, special investigations officer, and judge advocate or lawyer.
In addition to housing and food allowances offered by all the service branches, service personnel receive low-cost, comprehensive insurance of up to $250,000 for $20 a month. Allowances are generally tax free, including shopping at the tax-free, on-base department and grocery stores.
Retirement is also a benefit. Personnel are eligible to retire after 20 years of service. The Air Force also requires no payroll deductions for its retirement plan, making it one of the earliest retirements around.
Recreation is a big deal in the Air Force, as personnel set up social activities and recreational programs geared to the interests of each family member. Officers' clubs feature a full calendar of social events for members, spouses and guests. Bases sponsor youth activities, including teen functions. Most Air Force bases have golf courses, arts and crafts facilities, bowling alleys, tennis courts and swimming pools.
Since November 10, 1775, Marines have been trained to be leaders of what this branch of service calls the finest fighting force in the world. Citizens of the United States who have bachelor's degrees or are in the process of getting bachelor's degrees are eligible for the Marine Corps officer program. All majors and areas of study are acceptable. Marine officers must have the desire to be leaders, have a well-rounded background and experience and be flexible.
Marines don't have a specific ROTC program, but other opportunities exist. Platoon-Leaders Class is conducted during the summer--and there is no obligation beyond attending the summer training. And Marines can go through the Navy's ROTC's program. Officer training programs offer annual tuition assistance and a competitive starting salary that can help you with loans or other expenses.
Marine Corps Officer training is designed to be intense. Marine Corps officers are directly responsible for the welfare and job performance of the men and women they command. People's lives often depend on that performance. The career of a Marine Corps officer has many advantages, including a variety of duties, responsibilities, and challenges is unlike any found in the civilian sector.
About 40,000 officer candidates join the Marines each year. Marines are trained in the art of self-mastery, acquiring self-discipline, the courage to undertake difficult tasks, and a steadfast commitment to overcoming challenges. Marines are warriors with a smaller but aggressive force at 177,000 total personnel and 19,000 officers.
Military, an Excellent Career
When President Harry Truman ended formal racial segregation in the armed forces with his 1948 presidential order, it placed the military ahead of the greater American society as a place where African Americans could find careers and succeed. Brewer and Wilson, however, will attest that career opportunities for African Americans who blazed the trails before them didn't surface overnight, but occurred gradually.
While the number of African-American service people is equitably represented in the military overall, according to a report released annually by the Department of Defense, the services are pushing for even greater diversity, particularly for those who are college educated.
In fiscal year 2002, some 16 percent of the enlisted force was African American. Yet Blacks make up a much smaller number of commissioned officers at 8 percent, according to the report, "Population Representation in the Military Services."
In specific service branches, African Americans make up 17.1 percent of the Army; 17.8 percent of the Navy; 10 percent of the Marine Corps, and 15.5 percent of the Air Force. Almost 24 percent of all female recruits to the services in fiscal 2002 were African-American women, while African-American men made up about 14 percent. In reserve officer components for the service branches, where 58 percent of the officers have bachelor's degrees and another 23 percent have advanced degrees, African Americans total 9.5 percent.
Because the numbers of African-American enlistees have fallen during the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the war on terror, Wilson cautions that this should not be construed as African Americans being less than patriotic. "The first person who gave his life for this nation happened to be a person of color, and people just can't forget that," he said, speaking of Crispus Attucks, the runaway slave who is remembered as the first American to die in 1770 during the Revolutionary War. "We can ill afford to let majority America have the feeling that defending America is not what we of color want to do."
Wilson said that the military seeks all college majors, but he advises that recruits be proficient in communicating as well as being computer savvy. "All of us, regardless of where we went to school, need to be literate in the language. Still today we have many people coming in with degrees who probably don't meet that basic mark. I don't care if you're the greatest mathematician in the world or the greatest scientist or information technology expert, if you can't communicate, all of that technology is just sort of there, and you're not going to move forward," Wilson said.
Brewer, who captained the USS Bristol County and USS Mount Whitney earlier in his career, said there would be both positive and negative role models in the military as in all of life, and young service people need to get their filters in place. "You have to take everything in context. I would always reflect on that negative reaction that I may have received from one of my seniors and basically that inspired me to work that much harder, and it motivated me to show that I was not only as good as my counterparts but better," he said.
The Department of the Army hired 28,402 new employees from December 2003 to November 2004. Of the 28,414 new hires; 20,732 were appointed to federal positions that recognize education in addition to or in lieu of experience, while the remaining 7,682 were appointed to blue collar type positions.

An Interesting and Diverse Career
Major General Dorian T. Anderson was commissioned in the Infantry in 1975 upon graduation from the United States Military Academy. He received a Master's Degree in Management from Webster University. General Anderson is a graduate of the Infantry Officer Basic and Advanced Courses, the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and the U.S. Army War College.
MG Anderson's Career Path indicates the type of rewarding challenges a career in the military offers.
Major General Dorian T. Anderson's Advice
Major General Dorian T. Anderson is the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Human Resources Command in Alexandria, Va. As one who hires, he says, "enough people to keep his organization running," he offers the following advice to African Americans in the job market and those who want to advance once they are hired:
"Plug into your Career Services Office. That Office will have experts who can help you in your job search. Once you are there, start looking for opportunities for internships in areas that interest you. Internships during your college summers enable you to establish a network of people who know you, your interests, and the kind of work you do. People who know those things are more likely to hire you than those who do not know you.
"Learn what it takes to be considered for a position. Then prepare yourself to meet those requirements. If, for instance, you are interested in Civil Service, you know that you must pass a Civil Service Test. Go to the bookstore and get practice tests. Prepare for that test.
"If I am looking to hire you, I want to know what you bring to the table. I want to know, first of all, how well you are prepared for the position I have to offer. Then, I want to know whether you offer a genuine interest in the position I am trying to fill. If all you bring is a minimum effort to draw a paycheck, you will not work for me very long. A person who brings a genuine interest in a position joins a team and when given an opportunity to offer his or her opinions, he or she will offer those opinions as an equal. If you are a person genuinely interested in a position I offer, you will somehow indicate that you know that the day's work is dynamic, often lasting beyond a whistle that signals the end of the work day.
"Once I have hired you, I look for these things:
* Have you come to work every day, doing what you are supposed to do?
* Do you dress appropriately?
* Have you articulated yourself appropriately by learning the vocabulary of your employer and showing general interest in things about you?
* Have you shown an interest in upward mobility? When you saw an opening, did you apply for it? You may not have been selected, but your applying demonstrated your interest in moving up.
* Have you continued to improve by joining organizations that offer professional information in your area and by networking?
* Have you been open with your employer about your career aspirations? Always hope that you are working for someone who will help you achieve those aspirations. That way, your advancement will be a cooperative adventure. If you choose to work for an employer unwilling to help you advance, you are likely to become one of those shouting. "I hate my job!"
"Some general advice that is worth repeating:
* Be aware that you may work for an employer who does not want you to give them the impression that you are bouncing around.
* Try hard to work with people who may not like you?
* Big money upfront is not always the best choice. Consider potential earning. It may be better to come in at a lower salary with potential for high earning than to come in at a big salary unlikely to be increased.
* Finally, if you have a passion for what you do, you are in the right place doing the right job."

When Lawrence Hicks graduated from Louisiana Tech University on a four-year Air Force ROTC scholarship, he planned to serve four years in the service and then find a civilian job. That was 12 years ago. Today, the Air Force major is a student at the Air Command and Staff College (ACSC), Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala. The school prepares officers for squadron command positions.
His Air Force travels have taken him around the world to such places as Australia, Japan, Malaysia and Singapore.
When it comes to benefits, the Air Force is hard to beat, according to Major Hicks, a native of El Dorado, Ark. "The education opportunities attracted me to the service," he said. "So far the Air Force has sponsored my bachelor's, one master's and soon, a second master's degree."

From Baghdad to Tel Aviv and Back: An Israeli Star Digs Into His Grandfather's Music
Dudu Tassa immerses himself in the Arabic music of his late grandfather and reinterprets it for modern audiences
Dudu Tassa is a major figure in the Israeli rock scene. The singer-songwriter and guitarist released his first album when he was just 13, produces music for television and film, and has collaborated with international heavy weights like Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead. Since he was a kid, Tassa has had a vague idea that his late grandfather was an important musician in his native Iraq, but it was only recently that he came to understand just how important: Tassa's grandfather and great-uncle, Daoud and Saleh Al Kuwaiti, are considered by some critics to be the founders of modern Iraqi music. Their legacy was nearly forgotten when Tassa dug up old recordings of his grandfather's music and set them to a modern groove. The result, the album Dudu Tassa and the Kuwaitis, came out in 2011. Now, for the first time, he's bringing this music to the United States, starting with a performance at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City this Wednesday, at SXSW in Austin, Texas, this weekend, and in San Francisco next week. Reporter Daniel Estrin met up with Dudu Tassa last week at his apartment in Tel Aviv to find out more about this unusual roots and rock project.

Castro's dream for Cuba's artists
Dancing to defy ageing & loneliness in Mexico
Inside Story | 12 Nov 2012 12:22 GMT | China, Japan, South Korea, United Kingdom
China's new leadership will soon be confronted by an enormous demographic challenge. The country's 'one-child policy' means not enough babies are being born to support its elderly population.
"We are seeing the emergence of the so-called 4:2:1 phenomenon. So you have one single person taking care of two parents and four grandparents. This places [an] immense burden on the single child growing up."
- Andrew Leung, an economist
Around 12 years ago, there were six workers for every retiree, but by the year 2030 it is estimated that there will be just two. By 2050, one-third of China's population is expected to be aged over 60.
Al Jazeera's Laura Kyle, reporting from Beijing, says: "For generations, elderly Chinese have been looked after at home by their children. The 'one-child policy' is breaking that tradition - with the burden of care too great for many young adults to handle on their own. Now increasing numbers of elderly parents are being sent to [hospices]."
In October, the United Nations urged countries to address the needs of ageing populations after releasing a report entitled Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing.
Some of the key findings of the report are:
"China has very good planning for the urban population but if you go to rural China, where the vast majority of the people still live below the poverty line, they are still dependent on their family for care."
- Hafiz Khan, from the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing
The plan is the only global agreement for improving older people's lives and it recommends that:
So, how will China and other countries deal with the inevitable challenge of an ageing population?
To discuss this Inside Story, with presenter Tony Harris, is joined by guests: Andrew Leung, an economist, political commentator and former Hong Kong government representative to the UK; Hafiz Khan, a senior lecturer in applied statistics and a visiting research fellow at the University of Oxford's Institute of Population Ageing; and Yong Cai, a fellow at the Carolina Population Centre at the University of North Carolina.

Samsung' adjacencies and options portfolio dwarf those of Apple.
In fact we should have been looking at Samsung. Though its construction and other non-electronics divisions such as insurance may as well be separate companies, within its core electronics businesses Samsung displays an astonishing ability to maintain coherence across a wide range of activity, and shows no sign of slowing down its adjacency moves.
In the 1990s there were those of us who dismissed the Korean conglomerate as too unwieldy and incapable of real innovation. We need to think again.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Stopping youth violence was the topic at a conference Friday where youth advocates learned about stopping not just violence against others but teens hurting themselves.
It's all about awareness and education, said Teen Health Connection Executive Director, Libby Safrit.
One in eight teenagers tries to commit suicide. It's that startling of statistic that brought youth organizations and Charlotte Mecklenburg school representatives together for the 8th Annual Youth Violence Prevention conference.
I'm here to get educated on effective ways to educate our youth within the community, to learn about new ways violence is going on via cybering, text message, Facebook, Instagram, the music we listen to, said Milas Young with Youth and Family Services.
The focus of this conference is not just any violence, but self-inflicted, too, something CMS officials say
is all too common these days.
We're seeing those kinds on behaviors more frequently, things like cutting and scratching, picking sores and not allowing them to heal, burning themselves, said Karen Thomas, with CMS Support Services.
So they're trying to gain tools to bring back to the troubled youth to help them find other ways through their pain.
What the research tells us is that those behaviors are occurring because of the emotional pain that students are experiencing and frequently that pain is so great that students feel numb to any feelings, said Thomas.
In between speakers, there are breakout sessions about major contributing factors.
We're focusing on substance abuse because that's also one of those variables that touch both areas, said Teen Health Connection Executive Director, Libby Safrit.
And how other kids play a role,
How many kids are dealing with bullying in the school system, which is certainly part of violence, said Safrit.
So they can reach children before it's too late.
So it's really important we talk to our youth because these are deaths that are all preventable, said Safrit.

Imagine your own private ranch resort with charming native-stone cabins, poolside cabana, 140' 4-story waterslide, lighted tennis court, fitness center, full-court basketball, game room, hot tub, river rapids, fishing, abundant wildlife, miles of trails, and plenty of other activities for all ages.
PLEASE NOTE: This is an exclusive private rental (no other guests will be there) and is EXPENSIVE in peak season and only available to a select number of families each summer. Do not inquire until you carefully check the full Rates listed below -- including the notes at the bottom of the section. The HomeAway Quote system will give the base rental rate for the number of guests. For extra cabins or options (golf carts etc) use the rate quote example at the bottom of this description (press More Details) for an accurate estimate of the price.
Red Sands Ranch is located on the crystal clear Llano River between the towns of Mason and Fredericksburg and is the perfect spot for family or friends reunions, corporate gatherings, or even tennis team retreats. There are four self-contained rock cabins plus a separate bunkhouse, a Party Shed with flatscreen TV, billiards and ping-pong, and a tennis court, all surrounding a massive 53ft pool with spa, grotto, and luxury Cabana with full stainless kitchen, WIFI, and 55in flatscreen. The nearly 1/2 mile of fast-flowing, rock-bottom river runs from the deep pools and spectacular 200ft red sandstone cliffs (featured on the cover of Texas Monthly Magazine) at the west end of the ranch, to more deep water and limestone bluffs to the east. A meandering path leads down to the perfect spot in the river to set a few lounge chairs and relax under an umbrella while the kids shoot the rapids in a tube or one of the available kayaks. For fisherman or paddlers, there is an amazing 2-3 hr trip that terminates at the ranch which is the highlight of one of the top twenty paddling trips in the state of Texas. The ranch foreman lives on the property about a mile away and is usually available to assist with whatever arises. For horse owners, there is a corral, tack room, covered stall, and miles of trails. And of course there are plenty of lounge chairs around the solar heated pool with separate hot tub and a secret 'mine shaft' cave with a little surprise inside the kids will enjoy. Whether you stay for the weekend or the entire week, Red Sands Ranch is a special place you'll want to come back to year after year.
Accommodations: Total of six (6) separate units -- three (3) are included in the base price. All air-conditioned with additional space heating, and hot water (plus spa heat) provided by one of the largest solar heating installations in the Hill Country.
- A bunkhouse with 4 twin beds, loft with 4 full beds plus four self contained rustic cabins that sleep from 6 to 8 (plus add'l cots and sleeping pads for kids), each with a wood fireplace*, full bath, stained concrete floors, covered porch, bedroom or sleeping loft, WIFI, satellite TV, and kitchenette (sink, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster oven and one-burner cooktop). *Sunday House sleeps two (adults only) in a king bed and does not have fireplace.
Included in the Base Price (these 3 units and up to 12 guests):
(1) The Fish Camp - a native sandstone cabin with local river-rock fireplace, chimney, and other accents. The covered back porch includes a hammock and overlooks the river and huge pecan trees below. There is a full size pull-out futon downstairs and two full size beds in a sleeping loft -- accessible via ladder, plus an extra rollaway bed downstairs. The bath features an antique clawfoot tub and an outdoor shower.
(2) Lorenz House - the largest of the 5 cabins, named after the pioneer family that settled this section of the ranch in the mid-1800's. There is a queen futon sofa down and stairs lead to an upper loft with an antique full size bed and a trundle with two twin beds. This cabin is also built with local materials and sandstone walls inside and out from the century old rock fences found throughout the ranch, and includes a covered porch swing with views of the bluffs and mountains across the river.
(3) The Bunkhouse - 4 twin beds and a sink/vanity with beautiful views from a balcony cantilevered out over the pool. Note that access to the detached full bathroom is via lighted gravel pathway.
Optional Units:
(4) Riverside Cottage ($150/night) - This Fredericksburg limestone cabin has the best views of the river from inside the cabin or on the covered back deck from the hammock, rocking chairs, or cedar porch swing. There is a huge masonry fireplace and the unit sleeps 6-8 with a queen bed and futon sofa down and a full bed in the upstairs bedroom, along with two twin beds.
(5) Sunday House ($150/night adults only) - an updated historic representation of the quaint Fredericksburg homes built by the German pioneer ranchers for weekends when they came to town for church and supplies. This luxury unit features a king bed with full ADA compliant (wheelchair accessible) bathroom and covered porch with swing and easy access to the pool area and Cabana.
(6) Sunday Loft ($100/night) - this bunk-style unit is located on the upper level of the Sunday House (with a separate entrance) and sleeps up to eight with four double beds and a half bath. Access to an additional full bath via lighted pathway.
The cabins are situated around a poolside cabana and a beautifully landscaped grilling area which includes a large charcoal grill, huge picnic table, smoker, firepit, and covered 'cantina' with four lounge chairs.
Simons House - built in 1860 by Conrad Simons and currently occupied by the ranch foreman, is a classic German story-and-a-half structure with 2ft thick sandstone walls and hand-hewn oak headers supporting the doors and windows. The home is beautifully restored to much of its original character and is visible at the Ranch entrance.
Common Area:
- Striking poolside open-air cabana with full kitchen constructed of old barnwood ceilings supported by huge hand-made wooden trusses. There is an oversized gas grill, small oven, dishwasher, two refrigerator/freezers, built-in microwave, two sinks, soapstone countertops, marine-grade mahogany cabinetry, WIFI, 55in LCD satellite television with theater sound, BluRayDVD, and iPod inputs with speakers located throughout the pool complex. The curved 11ft cast concrete bar has eight rustic barstools plus a sectional sofa that seats 4-5. In the wintertime or during inclement weather, the unique steel and glass doors can be lowered to fully enclose the room.
- The Shack Party Shed. A favorite hangout area for the kids, features a flatscreen TV with Wii game console, dartboard, billiards with a competition-grade, removable top for table tennis, and lots of eclectic neon lighting and funky decor.
- Swimming Pool. A free-form 53ft gunite pool in a natural setting that blends seamlessly into the fabled Simonsville Topaz Mine where the abandoned mineshaft, old Mill, 140ft flume, and many of the relics of 'old mining days' can still be seen.
- Fitness Center with treadmill, recumbent bicycle, universal weight machine, dumbells, situp bench, and pullup/dip bars. Also has a sink, satellite TV, and workout towels provided.
- The fully lighted tennis court includes a practice wall, and full-court basketball across one end with NCAA-rated glass backboards and an ice-cold drinking fountain.
- Rolling hill country terrain (nearly cedar-free) with large stands of Live Oaks hundreds of years old and mountain views in all directions. In addition to horses and livestock, wildlife is abundant and includes whitetail and axis deer, antelope, turkey, foxes, coyotes, bobcats, quail, dove, roadrunners, ducks/geese, eagles and more, The breath-taking stretch of river on the ranch includes everything from fast-moving rapids over a solid rock bottom for most of the length (where hard-fighting Guadalupe Bass are common) to slow, deep water at either end (where catfish as large as 35 lbs have been caught). Note that in order to preserve the quality of fishing at Red Sands, trot lines are not allowed and most of the fishing is catch/release with a maximum of one 'keeper' allowed per fisherman. Note: river activities may be affected by current drought.
Disclaimer: Red Sands is a working Texas cattle ranch with inherent risks or hazards including, but not limited to, rough terrain, heavy equipment, deep and/or fast-moving water, wild animals, livestock, etc. and is not recommended for vegetarians or families with very young children without adequate supervision.
Summer Rate Example (less for other seasons):
For the first 12 guests, a Late Summer rate is $1250 for each weeknight and $1750 for Fri or Sat nights. Add $50/night for each add'l guest beyond the first 12, up to 18 more, for a maximum of 30 total guests (no charge for infants). This is your Base Rental Rate and includes the Lorenz House, FishCamp, and the Bunkhouse.
You may add extra units (Riverside Cottage ($150), Sunday Hs ($150), or Sunday Loft ($100) nightly ($350 for all 3), and a pair of golf carts for $300 for the weekend (or $450 for up to a week).

I grew up outside of Houston and then received a Petroleum Engr/MBA degree from Louisiana State University (LSU). After spending a few years in California and Australia with various software companies, I moved to Austin, TX in 1991 and started my own business. After selling the company and retiring in my late 30's I quickly learned that I needed more activities than just playing sports all day, and wound up with 250 acres of raw land on the Llano River. Originally conceived as a few head of cattle and a couple of rustic, riverfront cabins around a firepit to spend time with friends, and my wife and three kids, it's since grown in scale, scope, and maintenance to the operation that exists today. Although years later, as a 5th generation engineer and wanna-be architect, I'll probably always be designing or building another 'project' at Red Sands but it has finally evolved to the stage where I can (almost) call it complete.
John Gilbert purchased this estate in 2003
Red Sands Ranch is a unique property specifically for guests that prefer an exclusive, private outdoor resort experience with a natural setting and amenities comparable to the large hotel chain resorts. Although expensive, the total rental for a large group is actually much less than a hotel resort stay even before you buy that first $8 beer -- and you won't have to share the pool with 150 kids in swim diapers.
The elevation (1250-1400ft) and semi-arid climate of the area offers more comfortable summer breezes and cooler nights than most of the large metropolitan areas of the state. Other than the spectacular Texas Hill Country setting, the most unique feature of the property is the layout of the compound where the pool, cabana (kitchen/dining), firepit, tennis and all the other resort amenities, are part of the main gathering area (rather than some back parking lot) while the separate cabins offer peace and privacy just a few steps away. In addition to all the activities, kids are always captivated by the abundant wildlife, crystal clear river, and the sheer number of stars visible in the clear night sky. Come make some memories and experience the real Texas!
We booked Red Sands Ranch again this year for our annual work retreat and had a blast again. There are so many different activities that there's something for everyone to enjoy. The pool and cabana couldn't be any better for bbq'ing and watching football. The river amazingly still looked great even despite the drought. Everyone loved it as usual!
Our group of 15 adults (7 Couples +1) had an incredible time on the ranch. As others say, the ranch is simply beautiful. We did an extended weekend in the August heat, and would definitely do it again next year. The cabins all had A/C and the pool was plenty refreshing. Late night games of basketball, dodgeball, and tennis under the lighted court were a major hit.
I would definitely recommend taking the kayaks out right before the sun starts to go down. Paddling out to the nearby cliffs and then sitting in the light rapids while drinking as the sun sets was maybe one of the most relaxing things I have ever done... the sightings of beavers, deer, and rabbits along the riverside certainly were a nice little bonus as well. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out, you won't regret it!
We had our first Family Reunion 25 + guest from ages 70 to 2. This place was great! We had space to go explore to fun activites for the whole family. The place was nicer than what we saw on this site. John and Rodney were excellent to work with and very helpful with questions we had.
Cabins have plenty of room so you don't feel like you are on top of each other and the main kitchen has everything to cook all your meals. A great place to spend time as a family. We would go visit this place again!
MY family and I (18 of us) visited the Ranch after a rough start to the new year. I would highly recommend this rental. All on line info & payments were very easy. Owner & personal chef stayed in constant touch with us until we arrived when we were greeted with the warmest of welcomes. The Ranch is more beautiful than pictures show, we hiked, kayaked, ate the best food prepared by our personal chef (Donya) and totally relaxed. Thank you John for the opportunity to visit and enjoy.
Our family of 12 (6 adults and 6 children) had a great week stay at RS ranch. This is a great place to get away from the city and spend time in the great Texas Hill Country. The kids and adults had a great time going down the slide and jumping off the platform. We swam, tubed, kayaked, and fished. From dawn till dusk were in the pool or the river. Everything is top notch including the owner John. We had an issue with the AC in one of the cabins and John made things right very quickly. We will be back sometime soon.
I can't begin to say enough positive things about Red Sands Ranch and our experience here to do it justice. Red Sands is First Class all-around. I put together a weekend vacation with about 20 people and every single person was blown away by the cleanliness and amenities that RS offered.
I mean, what can beat getting tired from a game of basketball and having the option to either jump into a pool or go down a 140' waterslide to cool off? Did I mention that while all this is happening you have music playing all over like the intro of the '92 Bulls?
John was fantastic and very easy to work with and Rodney would drop in every so often to make sure things were going ok and if we needed anything.
I will without a doubt be returning to RS and recommend you book this ASAP if you're on this page.
Although guests rarely leave the property during their stay, the quaint town of Mason is just 9 miles away with gas, groceries, and lots of shops around the historic courthouse square, while Fredericksburg with all of its shopping and attractions is about 35 miles to the south down winding country roads or about a 50 min drive. One favorite nearby attraction is the Eckert Bat Cave where millions of Mexican Free-tail bats can be seen emerging from the cave on summer evenings -- about 10 mi away.
Austin and San Antonio Airports are each 2hrs away. Mason Country Airport is about 15 mi.

Which rookie will excel this weekend?
The playoffs are here and it's time to analyze the players and teams.
Here's a look at the Quarterbacks in the playoffs and how they stack-up against each other.
#1 - Peyton Manning - After the season Peyton had it's hard not to put him at the top of the list. He has home field, the experience and his team is rolling right now.
#2 - Tom Brady - Brady and the Patriots have a first round bye yet again. The Patriots need their defense to step-up if they want to win the Super Bowl, they don't need to worry about their QB.
#3 - Aaron Rodgers - Rodgers can put up big numbers on offense and that's not their problem. This is another team that needs their defense to step-up
#4 - Matt Ryan - Ryan has his team in position with a first round bye but everyone is waiting to see what they'll do in the playoffs. We'll see next week.
#5 - Matt Schaub - This is probably too high for how Schaub based on how he's been playing lately. The Texans are falling now and they may be out of the playoffs this weekend.
#6 - Robert Griffin III - If his knee was better RG3 would be higher on the list. He's been a great story this season.
#7 - Andrew Luck - The Colts were the worst team in the league last year, blew-up their roster and somehow they won 11 games and made the playoffs. Luck should be rookie of the year and an MVP candidate based on his supporting cast.
#8 - Russell Wilson - The Seahawks are the hottest team in the league right now and everyone is jumping on their bandwagon. Wilson has played outstanding this year and should go far in the playoffs.
#9 - Andy Dalton - Last year Dalton was the rookie leading his team to the playoffs. He has a great WR in Green and is playing solid. I just don't see him as better than the rookies.
#10 - Colin Kaepernick - The 49ers are probably the most complete team in the playoffs, but they do have a question mark at QB. I like Kaepernick better than Smith, he just doesn't have the starts the other guys do.
#11 - Joe Flacco - I'd put Flacco last but I think Ponder is actually less talented than Flacco. The Ravens fired their offensive coordinator, have Ray Rice, Boldin and Smith at WR and still struggle on offense. But according to Ravens fans, it's not Flacco's fault.
#12 - Christian Ponder - I've never thought Ponder was an NFL QB and he's proving me right. AP literally carries this team and Ponder just needs to stay out of the way.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
These avant-garde National Geographic adventures, gathered together at Film Forum for a three-week sojourn into the director's outer limits, range in location from the slopes of an active volcano ( La Soufriére) to the fires of postDesert Storm Kuwait (Lessons of Darkness) to the prisons of the Central African Republic ( Echoes From a Somber Empire). In addition to extreme landscapes, they include portraits of Herzogian soul mates: obsessive ski-jump champs, ranting televangelists, and megalomaniacal actors (namely Klaus Kinski), as well as the doomed, bear-loving protagonist of Grizzly Man.
Herzog, who dismisses "so-called cinema vérité" as "the truth of accountants," maintains that his own documentaries are predicated on "imagination" and "fabrication." Not surprisingly, he's drawn to the fervor of religious pilgrimages (in Mexico, Russia, India, and Roswell, New Mexico) and has more than once sought to document the undocumentabledesert mirages in Fata Morgana, the world of the blind and deaf in Land of Silence and Darkness. Many of these docs have not always been seeable. Film Forum, which has been showcasing Herzog for decades, casts a wide net, augmenting his best-known documentaries with some that are virtually unknown. There are also several portraits of the artist, who will attend select screenings and has added further context by selecting a number of nonfiction films by kindred spirits Chris Marker, Jean Rouch, Ulrich Seidl, and Errol Morris. Herzog (Non)Fiction, May 18 through June 7, Film Forum.
Werner Herzog will screen material from his made-in-Antarctica documentary-in-progress, Encounters at the End of the World, and will also be on hand to encounter his audience. The event is free but you must RSVP (212-439-8700). May 19, 1:30 p.m., Goethe-Institut New York.
Claude Chabrol's 1978 account of the infamous French teenager who led a sexual dou-ble life, plotted to kill her parents, and, with her trial, became a Surrealist heroine, is an exceed-ingly dark comedy that afforded Isabelle Huppert one of her greatest performances. Terrific as it is, Violette has been long unavailable in any format, including 16mm; although the image seems slightly cropped, Koch Lorber's DVD is a welcome corrective. kochlorberfilms.com.
White Nights, an excellent mid-period Visconti, gets a rare screening. This 1957 feature neo-realizes the poignant Dostoyevsky novella (subsequently adapted by Bresson in Four Nights of a Dreamer). Mar- cello Mastroianni stars as the unrequited lover, a performance that led to his career- making role in La Dolce Vita. May 16, 8:15 p.m., Walter Reade.

Basketball tricksters trot to town
Annual game is Feb. 7 at American Bank Center arena
CORPUS CHRISTI - Coming off their most successful season yet, the Harlem Globetrotters' "Magical Memories" world tour comes to the American Bank Center arena on Feb. 7.
Facing the Washington Generals, the Globetrotters promise to bring their trademark ball-twirling techniques and world famous trick shots to Corpus Christi basketball fans.
Now in their 84th consecutive season, the team will have a full roster, including native Texan "Hot Shot" Branch, "Big Easy" Lofton and "Flight Time" Lang, who is featured in the TV show, "The Amazing Race."
Branch visited with students at George Evans Elementary School on Jan. 29. Between showing them tricks and ball-handling techniques, Branch shared a little about his Texas upbringing.
"Basketball has done a lot for me because it helped me follow my dreams," Branch said.
"I grew up in a tough neighborhood in Houston and basketball was my way out and into college and eventually the Globetrotters — the most famous team in the world."
Branch spent an hour with the local kids, encouraging them to listen to teachers, work as a team and to take care of their minds and bodies.
"We wouldn't be able to do what we do if we didn't all work together," Branch said.
The Harlem Globetrotters began in the 1920s in Chicago, and was the first basketball league that African American players could perform in, Branch said.
They have traveled to more than 120 countries around the globe, and have more than 135 million fans worldwide.
Last year the Globetrotters began performing at military bases in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries. The team even designed a special camouflage ball which they use during their games.
But despite all the tricks and razzle dazzle, Branch said the real reason the players love to perform is to meet their fans.
After each game, the team puts an extra 30 minutes on the clock so they can sign autographs and pose for pictures with fans.
This year the team will play more than 300 games through the course of four months.

Young Blood
Still in mourning
More News from Gerard Charles Yulo
I found myself in tears again as I was reading, very belatedly, the Youngblood article "Ok luv u" by Marrian Pio Roda Ching (Inquirer, 6/16/12). I wish I had not read it, just as I constantly wish that I never get to read, see, feel, taste, or smell anything that will remind me of my mother who passed away in October 2011.
Since I'm embarrassed to ask others, I often direct to myself questions like "How does one move on?" or "When does one stop mourning a dearly departed loved one?" I have to admit that the depth of my ongoing sadness over my mother's passing has started to bother me. It's been a year since God took her away, and the fact that I still feel very sad about her absence is beginning to convince me that there is something wrong with me. It has reached a point that I wonder whether my very close attachment to her while I was growing up was not quite healthy.
As an uncool "weirdo" in elementary school and high school, I had my share of loser experiences. There was one afternoon in the fifth grade when I came home crying because I had been severely taunted by the class bullies. I shut myself in my room and later, after knocking on my door for several minutes to call me to dinner, my mother unlocked the door and found me lying in bed covered in a blanket and facing the wall. Pretending to be asleep, I was suppressing my sobs, hoping she would just go away. But she calmly asked what the matter was, and embraced me as I cried all over again, until I could shed tears no more. In between snivels, I told her about my painful experience at school. To this day, I remember her words of kindness, compassion and wisdom, and how they comforted me then.
Now she is gone, and I am left with an older sister (well, not quite, as she lives with her family in Canada), an engaged older brother, and a father whose love for us, his children, is expressed in a way that Kuya once described as "calm and straightforward but nevertheless profound."
Sometimes, late at night when I see my dad at his laptop reading about movies, music, literature, or sports, I feel this strong urge to put my hand on his shoulder and tell him just once, "I miss Mommy." One time before Christmas last year, I came very close to doing exactly that. But I was so hesitant and nervous, and I broke down when I was still some feet away from him and quickly retreated to my room.
I have never cried to my dad, and I am not sure I want to. I do not underestimate the capacity of fathers to comfort their children in comparison to mothers, but I am just not sure how well either of us will handle such an awkward situation. My father is a no-frills, no-drama man, and I find it hard to picture him embracing me while I go on crying until my eyes dry up.
So the question remains: Until when must a person mourn a loved one's death?
I asked myself that question in March when I watched my classmate's cousin's elementary school play about angels who paint cats in heaven. The story was cute, funny, and light until toward the end when one scene turned my emotions around. One of the angels sent back down to Earth to deliver newly painted cats returned to heaven much later than the other angels. Asked by the uptight mentor what had delayed him, the angel said that he took the errand as an opportunity to make a quick side trip to his family's home. As he was missing his parents and siblings, he asked his mentor if God could possibly turn him into a human again to be reunited with them. The dialogue pierced my heart. And so while that scene was going on with an instrumental of Kenny Rankin's "What Matters Most" playing in the background, I kept still in my seat lest any slight movement trigger my tears into bursting like a dam.
Like that angel, I sometimes wish for the impossible: for God to bring back my mother. Without her, our house feels so empty, so blank and dark. Never had the Filipino expression "Ang nanay ang ilaw ng tahanan (the mother is the light of the home)" been more true to me than when my mom left us. I sometimes wonder what any of us—my brother, my father and I—can do to bring back a semblance of normalcy in our household. Louder music? Louder TV? Louder voices and heightened perkiness during our increased attempts at conversations between and among us just to drown out the deafening silence? What?
Oh, death! This thing, this awful inevitability of losing someone had never happened to us prior to my mom's passing. It was something that happened to neighbors, to classmates, to relatives, to friends, to my parents' colleagues, to this person and that, to others. Not to us. Not to me.
Time will tell if (any of) my ideas to counter my grief will work: become more absorbed in my academics, dine out with Dad and Kuya once or twice a month, go out with friends once in a while, read, sleep, eat, surf the Net more frequently, rejoin Facebook, watch action films and comedy flicks, stroll around the mall, swim, run, fly, find a girl to love, write an essay about what I honestly feel about my mom's absence, ask Kuya if he misses her the way I do, talk to my Dad once and for all about how much I miss Mommy and cry on his shoulder, etc. etc. etc.
I love you, Mommy, and I miss you so much. But it's about time I got out of this funk. Even if you are now up there, can you please help comfort me again?
Gerard Charles Yulo, 19, is an architecture student at the University of Santo Tomas.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 - Dec. 21
Not all Sagittarians, mainly those of us born in mid-December, will notice a difference in approach to personal problems after Pluto turns retrograde on March 29th. Because that is also the day of the Aries new moon/total solar eclipse, there's a chance we'll be distracted by the drama, and that the secret Pluto is hiding, the one we've been trying to discover, will be buried for the retrograde duration. Not until Labor Day does Pluto face forward and begin the process of regeneration and rejuvenation all over again.
Capricorn: Dec. 22 - Jan. 20
Mercury turning direct might bring news that money is on its way. But if it doesn't show up until April 13 (a tax refund?), you can justify the delay be reminding yourself that until that date, Mercury won't come out of the shadow it cast during this retrograde period. If, once upon a time, the problems associated with Mercury retrograde lasted a mere three weeks, it now encompasses an eight-week window of opportunity to mess with our messages and our minds. Still, that's nothing compared with the 19-year cycle that begins with the Aries solar eclipse on the 29th.
Aquarius: Jan. 21 - Feb. 18
For the Water-Bearers who are not being inundated with offers from amorous, athletic Mars to fool around or, at least, to get into the game, there are alternatives. This weekend the Aries sun in your money zone forms a rewarding trine aspect to Saturn, your old-school ruling planet, in your Leo house of allies. Act responsibly and something swell could come your way by way of a person who wields more clout than you do. Same goes for being congenial enough to invite a response from an upstanding member of your community.
For some Fish, activity; for others, turmoil. It all depends on how assertive Mars passing through your Gemini home base affects relationships with family members and home repair folks. Along with the desire, Mars also provides the physical energy to start a project you may have been considering since the last time Mars was in Gemini, about two years ago. Just remember that because antsy Mars will move on to Cancer in mid-April, there might not be enough follow-through incentive to finish the project. Co-incidentally, that's also when Mercury finally leaves your sign.

Fortify Software to Collaborate With HP on Application Lifecycle Security Solutions to Reduce Business Risk
Fortify 360′s Static Application Security Testing (SAST) technology will be integrated with HP Application Security Center and HP Quality Center software solutions to give enterprise users increased visibility into application security across development, quality assurance and security operations.
"The combination of these technologies brings together development's security efforts with software quality and dynamic application security testing," said
Recent studies show that data breaches and cyber attacks on the application layer continue to rise at an alarming rate, and the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) notes that 92% of exploitable vulnerabilities are found in the software. As businesses strive to mitigate the risks posed by vulnerable software, mandates from organizations such as the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standard Council make it imperative to address security through all phases of the software life cycle.
"Enterprise businesses can reduce security risks inherent in their software by bringing together their development, quality assurance and security operations groups," said
Fortify and HP will first focus on integrating Fortify 360 static application security testing results into HP Assessment Management Platform (AMP) to give customers a real-time dashboard view of application security scanning efforts enterprise-wide. The collaboration also includes integration of Fortify 360 source code security results with HP Quality Center's defect management system. This will enable customers to seamlessly submit security issues detected by Fortify 360 source code analysis into HP Quality Center's defect management system so they can be managed like other software defects.
According to
About Fortify Software, Inc.
Fortify(R)'s Software Security Assurance products and services protect companies from the threats posed by security vulnerabilities in business-critical software applications. Its software security suite – Fortify 360 – drives down costs and security risks by automating key processes of developing and deploying secure applications. Fortify Software's customers include government agencies and FORTUNE 500 companies in a wide variety of industries, such as financial services, healthcare, e-commerce, telecommunications, publishing, insurance, systems integration and information management. The company is backed by world-class teams of software security experts and partners. More information is available at www.fortify.com or visit our blog.

A Middletown man in and out of prison since 1995 is facing a judge and jury again this week on child sex charges.
James Michael English, 38, of Columbia Avenue, was indicted in October on three counts of gross sexual imposition involving three girls, ages 6, 8 and 12, according court documents and Middletown police. The charge is a third-degree felony with a sentence of up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
The trial in Butler County Common Pleas Court Judge Craig Hedric's courtroom began Monday with jury selection and is expected to continue through Wednesday.
In November, English was sentenced to nine years in prison by Hedric after he pleaded guilty to a rape charge for a crime that occurred in Middletown in September 2011.
English was convicted on gross sexual imposition and sexual battery charges for two cases in 1995 and 1996. He was sent to prison for 4½ years. In 2000 he went to prison for three years for gross sex imposition. In 2003 he had an escape charge and was sent back to prison for two years. He had another escape charge in 2006 and received an additional year behind bars. He failed to register his change of address or job status in 2008 and was sentenced to two more years in prison.

Name one thing that makes you wake up in the morning with a smile on your face? If you are ready for a hippie answer, the fact that I do wake up every morning. After I got injured this past year and the fact that I might never walk again because my foot was broken in so many places, I realized how much I take for granted. Therefore, I wake up with a smile on my face because I'm simply excited for the day ahead of me, good or bad.
Who inspires you to greatness? Why? Without hesitation I would say my Dad. He pushes me in a unique way that makes me want to get better without him being by my side. I think that I have developed such a strong bond with him as a friend, that I want to show him how thankful I am for everything he has given me by pushing myself because I know that me succeeding will make both of us extremely content.
Who would you be proud to share the podium with? I am proud to share the podium with anyone else who made it up there. In boardercross, whoever makes it up there deserves to be up there and they earned it.

Must be the pharaohs, he in tune with his soul
So when he buried in a tomb full of gold
from Kanye West – Can't Tell Me Nothing Lyrics on Genius
Kanye is illustrating the common hypocritical belief that a Pharaoh/Powerful Person is often characterized as having a tomb full of gold (either literally speaking, as in the case of a Pharaoh, or metaphorically as just anyone that is powerful leaves behind a lot of money). But to Yeezy, a king is someone in tune with his soul. He rules himself; he doesn't let money rule him
ACCEPTED COMMENT: Kanye also got his start and made his reputation on making beats that sample soul songs for himself and others. Thus, he is "in tune with his soul" in more ways than one.

Ocean Voyager
Ocean VoyagerGeorgia Aquarium is home to FOUR WHALE SHARKS!
Georgia Aquarium is also home to four manta rays. It recently added a fourth manta ray to the Ocean Voyager exhibit. Our four manta rays as well as four whale sharks and thousands of other fish can be seen in the 6.3 million gallon exhibit, the most magical aquarium habitat in the world. The fourth ray, who measures almost nine feet across and weighs approximately 265 pounds, was collected off the coast of Florida.
Walk through an acrylic tunnel or stand in front of a gigantic acrylic viewing window, and you will feel like a SCUBA diver in an endless blue sea, mesmerized by thousands of fish swimming overhead. Ocean Voyager, built by The Home Depot, is home to the gentle giants of the sea, including whale sharks and four manta rays. They are the only manta rays in a U.S. aquarium, ever. Learn more about our first manta ray Nandi's journey to the Georgia Aquarium from South Africa.
This exhibit was specially designed to house whale sharks, the largest fish species in the world. Schools of predatory trevally jacks, squadrons of small and large stingrays, enormous goliath grouper and several sharks all ply the waters of this ocean habitat containing more than six million gallons of saltwater. With 4,574 square feet of viewing windows, a 100-foot-long underwater tunnel, 185 tons of acrylic windows and the second largest viewing window in the world at 23 feet tall by 61 feet wide and 2 feet thick, visitors will have multiple opportunities to view all of these magnificent animals. No other aquarium in the world has ever attempted to manage the variety and size of fish in this major exhibit.
