Requirements for Completion of Dental Foundation Training (Year 1) and Some Ground Rules Foundation Dentists should familiarise themselves with the contract into which they have entered and jointly signed with their Dental Foundation Trainer. Foundation Dentists are required to work (on average) 35 hours each week when not on leave. The educational study day is deemed to be for a period of 7 hours. This means that on a week when there is a study day, the time in practice will be 28 hours. Attendance at study days is mandatory. There are approximately 30 study days spread over the year. Annual leave must not be taken when there is a study day. Absence, due to illness. Absence from the practice must be self-certificated if for a few days. Longer absences must be supported by a doctor"s certificate. The Dental Foundation Training Administrator at Willow Terrace must be informed in writing of absences from the practice. Absence, due to illness, from the study days should be reported to the postgraduate centre administrator before the start of the module. Punctuality and dress It is important to arrive in good time for the study days. Lateness is discourteous to the speaker who may well have travelled a considerable distance to be there. Colleagues are representatives of their profession and it is expected that we will be dressed smartly. Completion of the Foundation Training Portfolio Used correctly this is a useful learning tool. It should be kept up to date by yourself and your Dental Foundation Trainer and brought along to the study days. Submission of a Case Report (Monday 14th June 2010) is required before a certificate of completion of foundation training will be issued. The requirements are the same as those required for the prize offered by the Yorkshire Division of the Faculty of General Dental Practitioners. See separate sheet for regulations and advice. Faculty of General Dental Practitioners (UK) Royal College of Surgeons of England The Yorkshire Division PRIZE FOR FOUNDATION DENTISTS (YEAR 1) This prize competition is open to all Foundation Dentists in the Yorkshire region. The 1 st prize of £150 plus trophy and 2nd prizes of £100 are awarded annually. Candidates are invited to submit a case report of not more than 2,000 words, typed on A4 paper with up to six photographs, which might include before and after shots. Study models and duplicate radiographs may be included if appropriate. Ideally cases should illustrate several aspects of dental practice. The report will show an ability to: Take a good history Arrive at a diagnosis Formulate a treatment plan, showing care and meeting patient"s needs Account for your treatment and any changes to the treatment plan Support treatment choices and substantiate completion with radiographs, photographs and models where appropriate Discuss treatment prognosis and future management of the patient"s care The application should contain a declaration that this is the candidate"s own work undertaken during the foundation training year (Year 1). Supervision and advice may however have been sought of the Dental Foundation Trainer and Course Director where appropriate. CASE REPORTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAY th 14 JUNE 2010 The Faculty of General Dental Practitioners (UK) was established in 1990 and is regarded as the academic home of practitioners in general practice. One of the aims of the Faculty is to encourage and maintain high standards of patient care in the primary dental setting through continuing education of dental practitioners. ADVICE ON CASE SELECTION AND LOG DIARIES PATIENT SELECTION 1. Choose patients where your clinical judgement and breadth of experience match the technical requirements of the case. 2. Choose a patient where you have done most of the work on the patient"s mouth yourself. 3. Choose forms of treatment you do regularly. 4. Do not be reluctant to present routine treatment, but make sure it is done well. LOG DIARIES The aim is to describe clearly the management of the case and demonstrate the logic of your approach. Keep it concise! The diary should be typed on one side of A4 paper, and securely mounted in a ring binder or inserted into the pages of a display book. Avoid spring binders. 1. Introduction should include the patient"s reason for attendance, aspirations and expectations. 2. Examination should include: i) Patient"s appearance ii) Personal and family details. Refer to the patient by a code letter or initials iii) Medical History iv) Past dental experience 3. Dental Examination i) Extra Oral ii) Intra-oral including periodontal assessment iii) Oral hygiene iv) Special investigations – radiographs, vitality tests, study models, photographs, etc. 4. Draw your conclusions and establish a diagnosis. 5. Form a treatment plan encompassing immediate and long-term requirements. Details of patient history, initial examination and assessment and also of the stages of treatment provided are best reported in past tense. Patient details should be anonymised – initials of first name and surname could suffice – and this should apply to all chartings, medical history forms, radiographs and study models included as part of the report. Radiographs should be included, with appropriate comment findings. Bitewing and periapical radiographs should be mounted or scanned and printed, rather than presented loose or in packets. Radiographs need to be justified – e.g. if an orthopantomograph has been recorded a reason should be given for taking further periapical bitewing views. Full mouth chartings to demonstrate existing restorations and caries should be routine as should a description of the occlusal relationship. Periodontal chartings should be provided routinely. Minimum should be BPE and this should be supplemented by Plaque Scores, Pocket Depth, Bleeding Indices and assessment of mobility when relevant. Printing of clinical photographs, particularly mirror views, can cause confusion and if necessary these should be annotated to clarify right and left. For all cases where bridges, multiple crowns or veneers or partial dentures were provided as part of treatment, study models should be included with the report. Word processing packages do not handle the quadrant signs for the Palmer notation of tooth charting very well. It is better to identify teeth as UR6 or LL5 or alternatively use the FDI notation (16 or 35). Abbreviations should be used with caution unless you are confident that they are readily understandable and in regular use. Plural nouns do not require apostrophes ("s), possessives do. Age / Sex HISTORY Medical History Social History Dental History EXAMINATION Extra-Oral General – height,weight,demeanor Face - features,profiles,lips,vertical dimension TMJ Mandibular movements Lymph nodes Intra-Oral Soft tissue check Periodontal (attachment loss, gingival bleeding) Oral hygiene (plaque score) Study casts (articulate, facebow, survey) Charting INVESTIGATIONS / SPECIAL TESTS Radiographs (report) Vitality tests Mobility Etc. DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT PLAN Aims and objectives Options – reasons why particular option was chosen - evidence (evidence based dentistry) Treatment plan TREATMENT CARRIED OUT Dates Use proper names for materials (rather than trade names) PROGNOSIS AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE Maintenance regime TRAVEL AND ACCOMMODATION EXPENSES During your VT year you will be required to attend study day events that may necessitate overnight stay in hotels and travel to and from these events. The Deanery is able to offer some subsistence towards these costs though I"m sure you will appreciate, that with the rising price of hotel accommodation, it may not cover the whole amount. Where the cost of hotel accommodation is more than the night subsistence allowance the meals allowance, payable in a 24 hour period, will also be taken into account: Night Allowance: London and elsewhere £55.00 NB: only the receipted cost of bed and breakfast may Be reimbursed and receipts must be submitted with the Expenses form. This only applies where individuals have Settled their own accommodation upon departure. Night Allowance: Non-commercial accommodation i.e friends £25.00 Or relatives Meals Allowance: per 24 hour period £20.00 Day Meals: subsistence allowance/lunch £5.00 NB: Applicable when more than five hours away from office/surgery Including the lunchtime between 12.00 and 14.00 hours Evening Meal Allowance: Applicable when more than 10 hours away £15.00 From the office/surgery after 19.00 hours Mileage Allowance: for absence from home or practice As a driver per mile 24p Same driver"s passenger allowance per mile 5p All subsistence claims must be submitted on the appropriate Expenses form available to download form the Yorkshire and Humber Deanery website: www.yorkshiredeanery.com Please ensure that all receipts for Hotel accommodation (where individual has settled own account on departure), Car parking and meals etc are attached (not stapled) to your claim. Failure to do so will mean your claim is not processed. Please ensure that you specify how you wish your expenses to be paid by indicating as appropriate on the form. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact Alison Cook, Vocational Training Administrator at the Deanery address below: University of Leeds Willow Terrace Woodhouse Lane Leeds LS2 9JT THE ANNUAL JOINT DENTAL FOUNDATION TRAINER / FOUNDATION DENTIST TABLE CLINIC DAY FRIDAY 14TH MAY 2010 The annual Table Clinic has become a highlight of the Dental Foundation Programme (Year 1) in Yorkshire and the Humber and is highly regarded by Dental Foundation Training Schemes in other parts of the country. Over the years Dental Foundation Trainers and Foundation Dentists have collaborated to produce demonstrations on a very wide range of topics. Some of these have been included in the publication "Project Yorkshire". Dental Foundation Trainers and Foundation Dentists will have received a copy of Project Yorkshire which will give an idea of what has been done in the past and may stimulate ideas for your own project. GUIDANCE NOTES ON THE TABLE CLINIC PRESENTATIONS The display should present the results of Research Projects or Clinical Audit, carried out by the joint efforts of the Dental Foundation Trainer / Foundation Dentist team. The method of presentation should be such that the material can be clearly read from about two feet away, and on card sheets which can be wall mounted on display boards. A table will be provided for those who also have three-dimensional material. The subject may be anything concerned with general dental practice – Managerial, Administrative, Financial, Marketing, Clinical Matters, Audit, etc. Remember to let us know if you require any additional items for the day e.g. power supply. Do not underestimate the time it takes to actually prepare the display once you have collected the data. EVALUATION OF THE DAY RELEASE COURSE SESSIONS The Day Release Course Programme has developed over several years and has to cover an essential curriculum. However, we are very conscious that this course should be as useful and interesting as possible. The first training period from August to October has to be arranged in advance of the Foundation Dental group being appointed so is rather a "set menu". The programme for the remainder of the year, while still having to cover certain subjects, should be organised in discussion with the foundation dentists themselves. To assist the Course Director in planning future modules each module is evaluated immediately after it is completed. A sample form is reproduced below. These forms are completed anonymously so we get true feelings, but is also essential they you give the subject due consideration rather than rushing through it so you can get away home!

If you particularly wish to discuss this module with the Course Organiser print your name here: ………………………………………………………………………………. Criticism is welcomed, but constructive criticism please! We need to know how it can be improved, was the problem the speaker, the subject, the mode of presentation, the time devoted to it, or the timing of the course. Remember that it is very difficult to make such subjects as Health and Safety Legislation stimulating and exciting! However, it is absolutely essential that GDPs are aware of their mandatory obligations. PROBLEM SOLVING "Problem Solving" is one of the most valuable aspects of Dental Foundation Training (Year 1) for General Dental Practice. The term is perhaps a misnomer – what it really means is an exchange of experiences, problems and solutions within the peer group. Some sessions are set aside in the Day Release Programme specifically for "Problem Solving" but mini sessions will usually be held each day where any pause occurs in the programme and usually at the beginning of the day. To be of real value these sessions need an openness and willingness to discuss triumphs and disasters within the peer group. The experiences of one member may help others to avoid a similar pitfall or give cause to examine one"s clinical or managerial procedures. Radiographs, study casts, written records or documents may all help to illustrate occurrences but "Problem Solving" is essentially interactive discussion. If real problems arise then the Foundation Dentist should contact their Dental Foundation Trainer at once to seek assistance. If the Dental Foundation Trainer is not available, or the Foundation Dentist does not wish to discuss the matter with him/her, then they should contact the Course Organiser, or Course Director, at his practice or at home.

CRITICAL EVALUATION SKILLS – JOURNALS and TRADE SHOWS/CONFERENCES Dental Practitioners are bombarded with information in journals, promotional literature and other sources, such as Trade Shows and Conferences. Journals come in all styles from the esoteric to the popular press and many meetings in Dentistry now have a growing number of Sponsored Lectures and Sponsored stands, making various claims for their equipment and materials. It is essential that young practitioners develop the skills to sort out the "wheat from the chaff" and are able to critically evaluate the information to which they are exposed. You will have looked at scientific papers and Statistics at Undergraduate level, but in VT we want to help you develop your Critical Thinking and Evaluation skills so that you can apply them in your work too, including when "claims" are mixed-in with Conference Lectures and Trade Shows demonstrating new developments in Dentistry. You will therefore be set Projects and tasks at various stages within VT, including at Conferences and Tradeshows, to help you improve such critical Faculties, which are essential skills for the Practitioner of the future. You can also make use of our Medical Library facilities to do research, look up papers and work on various VT projects and assignments too. Your ID badges are needed to join the library and this opportunity is normally arranged for the VT group within the first month of the Scheme.

These days are designed to be relevant and enjoyable! Please do read the page on ground rules for our VT scheme, which includes details of dress code, attendance etc. Each of the day release course days is approved for 5.5 hours CPD, and there are normally at least 30 of these. You are required to attend ALL 30 days in this programme in order to complete VT. ATTENDANCE ON THESE STUDY DAYS IS MANDATORY, NOT OPTIONAL! If through illness or other unavoidable reasons you miss any of these days, you will need to "compensate" educationally for this. Your adviser, regional adviser and Post Graduate Dean will have to "Approve" any alternative courses as "equivalent" to the VT course you missed. It is not just the subject matter, but also the "interactive" and "educational value" that will be assessed so that it compliments (rather than duplicates) the rest of your VT programme. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR VT ADVISER's APPROVAL FOR ANY ALTERNATIVE COURSES !!! Normally this will be compensated for by additional attendance at another VT Scheme's day and in the Yorkshire Region, Schemes now run on WEDNESDAYs, THURSDAYs and FRIDAYs too. In your program, there will be some sessions led by VT trainers, who have many years of clinical experience to share with you, to help you greatly in your early days of practice. You, as a VDP, will also be given the opportunity to do a presentation to the VT Trainers too! During VT, you will be expected to do a number of MJDF modules as a Project (Medical Emergencies, Cross-Infection Control, Radiography), an example of a Clinical Case done in your VT Year, as well as a joint Table Clinic Project done with your Practice Trainer. We will also be travelling to some "away" venues, such as the BDTA Dental Showcase, to expand your professional experiences outside of VT too, at which you will be given a task/subject to reaserch and present back to VT Trainers. In the interests of feedback and continual improvement, you will be expected to complete evaluations for each training day. You will also be given the opportunity to influence or choose some topics and/or speakers, towards the later half of the program to meet you own educational needs (and stay within budget please) and have input into what should stay/change for future VDP study days too. The aims of these day release courses are to cover your VT educational needs as defined by COPDEND centrally. The objectives are to make these days relevant and interesting and to make you into "thinking" dentists capable of individual practice. The educational outcomes are to help you learn a variety of new techniques, systems and administration in an understandable way that you can use effectively and competently in the 4 main domains, Clinical, Communications, Management/Leadership and Professionalism. Whilst these study days count as verifiable CPD hours, please remember they are SO MUCH MORE than a vCPD course, due to the interactions and peer involvement of what you D:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\55becd5e-dfca-4e04-b24e-ce9c1ae4e9f4.doc contribute as well as learn from others, in and around the educational subject matter covered! Last but not least, you will get more out of your VT year the more you put into it, as well as enjoying it as one of the highlights in your Career!

I can only compare it to the 6.1 95's. I don't have experience with the Pure Drive.
I strung the 98's 2lbs higher with the same string combo, and the stringbed feels more bouncy. It swings faster and generates the same amount of spin. However, this spin comes with increased power. This has a big implication: with the 98, there is less ability to increase net clearance. No loopy shots. Aim 1 ft above the net. If you aim 1.5 ft, you start hitting a few long.
My playing style changed to 3/4 swings, guiding the ball. Full RHS is either a winner or a UE.
Kick serves jump forward with the 98. It jumps high with the 6.1.
Less stable in off-centered shots.
No arm problems with the 98, partly because the stringbed is so cushioned. You can feel the ball sit on the strings longer.
Anything else you wanna know?

|Impacts of suspended and deposited sediment on benthic invertebrates and fishes in a Missouri Ozark stream
|Ford, Zackary L.
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Sediment is suspected in the decline of sensitive-aquatic organisms in the Osage River basin of Missouri. In this study, I monitored sediment dynamics and evaluated corresponding linkages with benthic invertebrate and fish assemblages as it related to highway construction activity adjacent to an Ozark stream in southwest Missouri. The most notable effect of road construction on the sediment dynamics in the Brush Creek watershed was the overall change in suspended sediment concentration which was 53% greater downstream of the highway versus upstream during road construction. The lack of a significant shift in biomonitoring metrics and composition of macroinvertebrate and fish assemblages during construction reflected similar, nonsignificant trends in deposited sediment. Correlations between sediment measurements and biomonitoring metrics were found for macroinvertebrate and fish assemblages but were inconsistent among habitats. Ordination analysis showed suspended sediment and surface cover of deposited sediment influenced the composition of the macroinvertebrate assemblage immediately before and after the start of road construction. The results of this study will help future investigators identify normal and excessive sediment conditions in Ozark highland streams with similar landuse types. Furthermore, the additional resolution of sediment dynamics and linkages with aquatic biota gained by this study will aid in the development of water-quality standards for sediment in Missouri streams.

German leader seeks to boost trade with Gulf
Germany, Europe's export powerhouse and largest economy, has emerged as a key destination for Gulf oil wealth in recent years.
On Monday, the head of Wintershall Holding GmbH signed a pact with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. for possible joint exploration and development of a gas and condensate field.
No financial terms were disclosed, but a statement from Wintershall called it "an important step" in long-term cooperation between Germany and oil-rich Abu Dhabi. Wintershall, part of German chemical company BASF SE, has projects in other parts of the United Arab Emirates.
An investment company backed by Abu Dhabi last year paid about $2.6 billion for a 9.1 percent stake in Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler AG, making it that automaker's biggest shareholder. That put it just ahead of a sovereign wealth fund controlled by another Gulf state, Kuwait.
Nearby Qatar has amassed a 17 percent voting stake in Germany's Volkswagen AG, making it the automaker's No. 3 shareholder, after the state of Lower Saxony, where VW is located, and the Porsche and Piech families, which control subsidiary Porsche SE.
In November, an investment firm owned by Qatar's sovereign wealth fund signed a $26 billion deal with German national railway operator Deutsche Bahn AG to establish a railroad network in the tiny natural gas-rich country.

Greg Simpson has always had a thing for serving people.
When Simpson was in the Navy out to sea on six-month deployments, he would preside as a lay reader over Word and Communion services for his fellow Catholics because there wasn't a priest onboard.
He has volunteered the past eight years for AIDSpirit in Billings, cooking meals and taking them to clients in the program. Simpson and his wife, Kathleen, also are part of the outreach program for St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Billings, visiting residents at Mission Ridge once a month to serve Communion and also doing home visits.
So when he was approached in 2009 about the possibility of studying to become a permanent deacon in the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings, it seemed a natural extension of what he's been doing all along.
That year, he and Kathleen attended an inquiry weekend at the University of Great Falls to hear what four years of extensive theological study and spiritual formation would entail. He was one of 54 men to attend, most with their wives.
"Listening to what the commitments were, I thought 'yeah, this is something I think I could really do,' " he said, sitting with his wife in the sanctuary at St. Thomas.
Now, with his studies completed, he will set out on that calling.
On Saturday, Greg and eight other men from around the diocese will be ordained to the order of permanent deacon in the Catholic Church. Bishop Michael Warfel will preside over the 11 a.m. ceremony at St. Patrick Co-Cathedral in Billings.
The diocese has not had an actual formation program for deacons in more than 30 years, said Deacon Mark Zenner of Great Falls, program director of the permanent deacon course. When Warfel came to the diocese in 2008, he initiated discussions about resurrecting it, Zenner said.
He is quick to say that being a deacon is not a job, but a ministry, a calling. Their work is not paid.
In the diocese, Zenner said, the bishop shares sacraments, takes care of the needs of the people and has some administrative work. Priests assist in sacramental work, and deacons aid the bishop in other ways.
"They are ministers assigned and sent by the bishop," Zenner said. "The bishop sends them to be his voice and hands and his ears for issues of charity and justice."
And while they work in areas such as justice for the poor and homeless and help for those who don't have food or who are in prison, they don't do all the work themselves.
"Here's where the gift of the deacon is, not to do all that work but to call others to the ministry that Christ requires of us," he said. "They're the permanent icon of Christ as servant leader."
Deacons also assist the priest with Mass. They administer some sacraments, including baptism, and can witness marriages and conduct funerals outside the context of the Mass.
The minimum age to enter the program is 35 and the maximum is 55.
"Some exceptions are always made at the top end, but not on the bottom," Zenner said. "It places a lot of stress on younger families."
Most of the men in this first cohort of deacons are at the top end of the age bracket, Zenner said. As the program moves forward, the diocese will seek to target younger men who would have many more years available to service.
Deacons can be married. Indeed, the wife must agree for her husband to enter the program and then take part in the four-year training program done on weekends.
If a single man is ordained a deacon, he agrees to take a vow of celibacy and cannot marry.
"The reason is we are saying we are the church's," Zenner said. "We belong to the church."
In the case of this first cohort of deacons, only one of the nine is single. Greg and Kathleen, both 59 and Billings natives, are celebrating 40 years of marriage this August and are the parents of two grown sons.
In 1994, Greg left his 21-year career in the Navy, retiring as a chief warrant officer, and moved to Billings. Having felt a tug on his heart over the years to serve in ministry, he inquired about a program for deacons but learned that one wasn't available.
"I thought, 'OK this is not where God wants me to be, so I'll do whatever I can,' " Greg said.
He stayed involved with Knights of Columbus and looked for other opportunities. Along with his other ministry responsibilities, he has been involved in the cursillo movement, doing discovery weekends with jailed inmates.
He worked as a delivery driver for Gainan's, then used his GI benefits to earn a degree in applied management at Rocky Mountain College.
Greg worked at the Heights Pet Center for six years, then went to part-time work as a bailiff for Yellowstone County District Court. He still works there.
Even as a bailiff, Greg looks for opportunities to minister. He doesn't have direct contact with plaintiffs, but he'll say silent prayers that God might work in their lives.
Greg was approached about the possibility of entering the deacon program during Lent in 2009.
"I spent the rest of the Lenten season in prayer and discernment and put my application in," he said.
Kathleen has supported him all the way.
"I thought it would be a good fit for him," she said. "I've been a cheerleader for him all along and will continue to be our whole life."
In the program, the pair learned about everything from church history to Christology to pastoral care. He's focused a lot of the past year on homiletics.
"We practiced giving homilies because one of the responsibilities of a deacon is to give a homily, even though the priest normally does," he said.
He has spent the past six months as an acolyte, essentially doing on-the-job training. Now he will look forward to working with the Rev. Steve Zabrocki, priest at St. Thomas.
Kathleen will assist him in some parts of his work, doing outreach to seniors and visiting ailing patients at the hospital. She also has her work as executive director of the Eucharistic Adoration Chapel in Billings.
Greg admits to being a little nervous as he approaches the ordination ceremony.
"I feel like a bridegroom getting married," he said.
But he's looking forward to receiving a touch of the Holy Spirit at the ceremony, which falls the day before Pentecost Sunday. It will give him the guidance he needs to do his work.
"God will take me where I need to go," he said.

How can border security be improved?
The following is a look at what the Senate legislation and immigration experts have identified as important ways to meet the 90 percent effectiveness requirement and elevate overall border security.
Under the proposed legislation, U.S. Customs and Border Protection would increase its ranks by 3,500 by 2017. The legislation does not specify whether these would be Border Patrol agents, customs officers or both.
Experts say swelling the numbers of personnel is one of the most expensive pieces of the plan and one that might contribute little to the overall effort.
The best way to maximize the investment is to increase the number of customs inspectors at legal ports because of the previous buildup between ports of entry, said Janice Kephart, national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies. The group advocates limited legal immigration and stronger enforcement of immigration laws.
"Pouring more Border Patrol agents in there is also the most expensive thing we can do," Kephart said. "We don't need more Border Patrol agents; we need really good technology there to help them do their job well."
Since 2002, the ranks of Border Patrol agents have more than doubled to about 21,000. Of those, 88 percent are stationed along the southwest border, including 2,600 in the San Diego Sector. In the same time period, the Border Patrol has also seen the number of apprehensions drop from a peak of nearly 1.2 million in 2005 to 356,873 last year along the southern perimeter of the U.S.
Still, experts are skeptical that the additional staffing would bring the most bang for the buck.
"We have the largest border enforcement right now. What drives unauthorized immigration is the U.S. economy and jobs on the low end of the economic sector and not border security — it never has," said Alex Nowrasteh, immigration policy analyst at the Cato Institute, a libertarian research group in Washington. "It can't work, not because of lack of security but because there is not a large enough or robust enough guest-worker visa program that would channel would-be illegal immigration into the legal market and take the pressure off of Border Patrol."
National Guard
The National Guard has been here before.
The proposal, if passed, would bring such troops back to the border for an indefinite amount of time if a governor of a border state chooses to send them there. They would be tasked with constructing fencing and additional checkpoints along the border, increasing ground-based mobile surveillance systems, deploying additional unmanned aerial systems, providing capability for radio communications, and providing assistance to Border Patrol in rural, high-trafficked areas.
The National Guard performed some of these same jobs in the past along the border.
Operation Jumpstart, which ran from May 2006 through July 2008, saw soldiers build fencing and complete other non-enforcement tasks.
In August 2010, Operation Phalanx began, which brought 1,200 Guard soldiers — 260 of them stationed in San Diego — to the border to serve as lookouts and members of special security teams. The mission was supposed to last one year, but it was extended several times before it ended in February 2012. The cost of that tour topped $180 million.

A special finish for a special guitar.
This Gibson 1959 Les Paul Historic Reissue VOS Electric Guitar is unique because of its special Extra Faded Cherry finish. Only 25 are built for the entire world.
In 1959, the Les Paul Standard made a change to wider, fatter jumbo frets which made it a more facile guitar. The significance of this change wouldn't be felt until the late '60s when Clapton, Bloomfield, Peter Green, and other emerging guitarists discovered its warm, thick BurstBucker voice and fast, smooth and easy-playing neck. Then the Les Paul began its ascent toward ultimate icon status.
Like all VOS (Vintage Original Spec) Series instruments, the 1959 Les Paul Historic Reissue is handcrafted for comfort and playability in the Gibson Custom Shop. The construction, neck profile, hardware, and electronics are period accurate, and a special nitrocellulose finish treatment gives it the patina of a gently aged vintage guitar. Includes Gibson Custom Shop case and a certificate of authenticity.

RiCOXulous… That might be the best word to use to describe the movie going experience I encountered when I saw "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story." A musical biopic parody that hits almost every note it intends to scratch. This hilarious, overwhelming, over-the-top, and at times emotional film, also has wonderful lyrics incorporated to the unthinkable songs that Dewey Cox performs.
The movie follows the ups, the downs, the back ups, and the back downs of musician Dewey Cox (played by the amazing John C. Reilly, Talladega Nights, A Prairie Home Companion, Dark Water, Aviator, The Hours, Chicago, Gangs of New York, The Good Girl, Magnolia… to name a few) whose out of nowhere one liners turn into hit songs that are presumed to change the world. As Cox engages himself in the blissfulness of the high moments and the drastic times he faces with the lows of his life, he makes rash decisions –mind altering and otherwise- that later culminate his future in the world of music. Now, instead of going on with more "spoilers," and telling you more about a movie that I would hope you see yourself, I intend to give you more reasons to want to go see "Walk Hard." The acting is superb, surprising, and admirable by all. Jenna Fischer (The Office, The Brothers Solomon, Blades of Glory, Slither) plays Dewey's back-up singer Darlene Madison. She is wonderful! Raymond J. Barry plays Pa Cox, and he plays him to perfection. Barry is classic with every word he utters in the film from beginning to end. You can't help but laugh whenever Pa Cox is about to murmur. The hilarious Tim Meadows and Chris Parnell play Dewey's band mates Sam and Theo, and they play them to perfection. Kristen Wiig (Knocked Up) does an amazing job as Dewey's wife Edith. And, with cameos from Frankie Muniz, Jack White, Paul Rudd, Justin Long, Jack Black, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, Eddie Vedder, Jackson Browne, Jewel, Lyle Lovett, Ghostface Killah, The Temptations, and John Michael Higgins, (Fred Claus, Evan Almighty, For Your Consideration, The Break-Up, and the Christopher Guest wonders) "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" is an epic… In its own way!
Nominated for two Golden Globes, including best performance by an actor in a musical or comedy, and for best original song "Walk Hard," this film -I believe- could have been nominated for both best musical film, as well as, best comedic film of the year, and if they were separate categories, would have had a great chance of winning both awards. "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" is fantastic, and if your stomach can handle what I know it has to offer, then please do yourself a favor and go see this unforgettable film.
