Immigrants, especially those living in the country illegally, are often reluctant to report crime when it happens to them.
So when police in cities from Austin to Nashville learned last month that the Bush administration is considering enlisting state and local police to help the federal government find and deport illegal immigrants, they balked.
''If we are forced to do this, you can just throw the trusting relationship that we built with this community out the window,'' says Rudy Landeros, Austin's assistant police chief.
''The Austin Police Department will not stop, detain or arrest individuals solely based on their immigration status. Period. Our job is to protect and serve everybody, regardless of their gender, religion or immigration status,'' Landeros says.
More than 8 million foreigners are in this country illegally, according to government estimates. And there are just 2,000 immigration agents to enforce the laws.
Police around the country say they already have enough work without enforcing federal immigration laws.
''It is an unfunded mandate, which takes away the ability of local law enforcement to provide the same level of service to the community,'' says Mark Brewer, legal adviser to the Lake County Sheriff's Department in central Florida.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement, however, is negotiating with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) about assigning 35 Florida officers to seven task forces to be set up to investigate terrorism in different regions of the state.
Al Dennis, a spokesman for the Florida police agency, stresses that the 35 officers would play a limited role once the agreement is finalized. Details of the officers' duties are not yet worked out.
''This is not about going out and raiding migrant workers' camps,'' he says. ''This is strictly limited to specific duties.''
Police in other cities say they are willing to help federal agents with specific requests. Nashville police spokesman Don Aron noted that his department has already assigned officers to task forces run by the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms that were set up after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
''But this police department is not interested in having our officers become quasi-INS agents,'' he says.
In Austin, Landeros says: ''We understand the aftermath of Sept. 11. But we have to stop this problem we have here in Austin, and unless we do, the murders will continue and the robberies will continue.''
The Justice Department proposed that local police help pick up people for possible immigration violations as a way to combat terrorism. All 19 hijackers on Sept. 11 were living in the USA on temporary visas. Two were in violation of their visa requirements.
The Justice Department issued a short statement last month describing the proposal as part of exploring ''many options to enforce immigration laws.''
If adopted, the plan would reverse a 1996 legal opinion by the Justice Department that prevents local officers from making arrests for immigration violations.
Immigrants' rights groups and civil libertarians oppose the Justice Department plan because they say it could lead to widespread racial profiling by police.

Re: It actually looks like Nokia is making some improvement...

Now let's not all get too excited. It's a Nokia, yes, but it's a flip phone from Nokia - not necessarily one of there trademark achievements. But, I feel that this phone will be a performer. Doesn't have me quite as excited as when the V600 came out, but it has a pleasant professional look. Since it has push-to-talk, it will be released beginning of next year I would think, when Cingular has a *Slated* release of PTT, despite the fact that is says 4th quarter release.
Yeah but look how the v600 let everyone down. Nokia has been delivering some awesome phones lately. The nokia 6620 is simply amazing. Id like to see this phone but why no mp3 ringers?

Kevin Wolak, a senior at Geneseo High School plays four sports, as Dan Pearson explains, and two of them are simultaneous.
Golf and football have made the perfect mix for Wolak, with golf being his favorite, and football close behind.
"Football is always, especially in Geneseo, a great tradition," said Wolak. "Everybody's real close to each other so it's great to be able to experience that."
Wolak's coach says the senior has handled being a dual-sport athlete well.
"We're thankful he comes out and helps us out on the football field," he said.
Some advice from Wolak is if you really want to do something try it. He said he once was not as great of an athlete, but with hard work he now is playing four sports.

Hilary Topper is a social media multi-tasker, author, blogger, radio show host and founder of the Social Media Association, Inc. EO
Learn to let go (your business and your personal life will thank you)
3 ways to spot real talent and find a superstar
Entrepreneurs' POV: They say the only constant in life is change— that aptly applies to social media, when the latest trends can go the way of the Dodo in mere days. Hilary Topper, a social media expert and CEO of HJMT Public Relations, offers a cheat sheet on emerging platforms and how they can benefit you.
As the owner of a public relations firm, one of my biggest jobs is to stay on top of the latest social media trends. Personally, I love discovering social networking sites and apps, and learning how to use them to target various demographics.
I've spent the past few years researching hundreds of sites, and have even compiled my findings in a book: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Social Media, But Were Afraid to Ask … Building Business Using Consumer Generated Media. Since then, I've been a "student" of social media. Here are some of the newest social-networking platforms and apps that I've come across, many of which may help you:
1. Launch.it—This new site acts as a newsroom, where you can post your press releases on new products or services, and then share them with your community. The best part is that anyone on Launch.it can see your product or service, and then share it with their followers. It interacts with Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, LinkedIn and many other popular sites and bookmarking tools. The site is user-friendly, free and has a clean, solid look. It is geared toward the tech industry, but there are other products and services on the site.
2. Snapchat—This mobile app has created a lot of controversy since its launch, but its popularity is implacable. Similar to Instagram, you snap a photo and then send it to one or more people in your social community. The photo appears for one to 10 seconds … and then it's gone. From a marketing standpoint, this could be used to send messages about retail shops, restaurants or even real estate. There are endless possibilities for many industries, and the best part is there are tons of people already using it. You can link this with your Facebook or Twitter followers to see who else is on Snapchat, and then chat away! It's easy to use, and it's free.
The Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) is a global business network of 9,500+ leading entrepreneurs in 131 chapters and 40 countries. Founded in 1987, EO enables small and large business owners to learn from each other, leading to greater business success and an enriched personal life.

New Chain: Recommendations?
Anyone found a decent quality chain at a reasonable price they like?
Also curious about sprockets but I found a few I like already.
I've been happy with the RK chain I've been running for a while.
Recently had a new 18" rear wheel built by Woodys with Supersprox. I've used these sprockets on my WR with consistently hard use and good results.
Are you using the gold Supersprox for a KTM 990?
Check these guys out, talk about top end products, let the first cost be the last ... good merits in this.
I'm running a RK GB525XSO chain with OEM sprockets right now. I had this set put on in Fairbanks this past summer when my OEM chain was worn at 17k miles. I've been happy with it so far. I just ordered a replacement chain and sprockets from these guys below. I've always had good experiences with DID chains so I went with the DID 525 ZVM-X.
I got over 40,000kms out of the stock chain and replaced it out of preventive maintenance. Clean it regularly and lube it religiously every 700kms or so and you are good to go.
For the new chain I got a Regina endless and did the swingarm drop, I had not access nor chance to pick up a riveting tool locally and it would have cost me well north of $65 to have one shipped in. I have been beating the hell out of the new chain and it is doing fine. Doing the swing arm drop gives you a chance to get some well needed lube into the pivot points and is a plus side of the job. Most people ignore lubing the swing arm because their is no grease nipple. Motorrad are as cheap with grease on the swingarm as they are with the wheel bearings.
If you go the route of a rivet chain you are looking at around $175 for a chain and tool and sprockets, I would imagine.
If I can get 40,000kms out of the Regina I'll be happy, however I will likely sell the bike well before that. It should be possible to get well over 50,000kms out of a good set of sprockets and a quality name brand chain if you do the maintenance. I ride only on 3rd world roads full of tope speed bumps and it is constant acceleration and deceleration and rough surfaces with the odd very high speed stretch of toll highway. It's "no country for old chains".
Not to redirect this thread but what should be the deciding factor with regard to a riveted chain vs a clip?
Valid question and here is a take on it.
Drag bikes used clip type chains for years, as did large capacity multi cylinder bikes in the late 70's and 80's when the owners had done in the OEM endless chains as fitted to some of the bikes. Can a clip type chain handle the 75hp of the F800GS? Probably.
Availability will be the big thing. If you are fitting an o-ring clip type chain, a chain press that costs about $8 or so is a good idea, it saves having to use the "2 10mm nuts and a pair of vice grips" or "end of a wooden hammer" method to compress the o-rings enough to get the clip on. Racers used to safety wire clips, by the way.
You can either cut the old chain off, or use a chain breaker and then put on your new one, or you can buy the endless version and drop the swingarm and fit it on. You have to lube your swingarm some time, or at least check it, this is a good opportunity and you won't need a chain breaker or a chain press or a chain rivet staking tool so you will save yourself a fair sized bit of money. You will likely only change the chain maybe twice in the time you will own the bike if you are on top of the maintenance on the chain, see if you can borrow the chain tools from a friend unless you are serious about building up your tool kit.
You'll probably change your cam chain once and your drive chain twice if you decide to own the bike for more than 80,000kms.
Thanks Mike mike. I have wondered since owning the bike but never had the applicable chance to ask. Clips on my dirt bikes and I do own a chain breaker but the swingarm lube issue makes a good argument.

NEW ORLEANS - Ochsner Health System today announced it is deploying Epic's industry-leading electronic medical record (EMR) software, EpicCare, across its eight hospitals and 38 health centers. Epic will take Ochsner's 15 years of experience with EMRs to the next level and integrate more than 38 clinical, scheduling and billing systems across the organization. Epic will allow Ochsner to streamline patient care, improve patient outcomes and empower patients to be more involved in their healthcare.
"With the implementation of Epic, Ochsner continues to be at the forefront of healthcare technology regionally and nationally," said Chris Belmont, Ochsner Health System Vice President and Chief Information Officer. "The most important result of this technology is that our patients will receive the finest possible care and enhance the coordination of care throughout the region."
Epic will also make it easier for Ochsner patients, nurses and physicians to interact and communicate with healthcare providers both inside and outside Ochsner Health System. Physicians and clinical staff will be able to access complete patient records and easily order treatments based on best practices. Patients will even be able to manage their own and their family's appointments, test results, healthcare bills and patient education from their smart phones.
By simplifying methods for accessing and sharing medical records among hospitals, physicians and caregivers, Epic will provide an easier, more efficient way to do business for Ochsner's affiliated physicians. Currently, about one of four doctors in the U.S. use EpicCare, and any of those physicians on Epic's nationwide Care Everywhere network can exchange records across organizational lines.
Ochsner plans to offer the EpicCare Ambulatory EMR to local physicians for use in their care setting to enable them to meet Meaningful Use requirements. Meaningful Use is a set of requirements from the federal government that describe how EMRs should be used by healthcare providers. The Epic software will allow Ochsner and participating providers to adapt quickly to the constantly changing healthcare regulatory environment.
"Implementing a system of this scale is a major undertaking," said Chad Jones, Ochsner Health System's Epic Project Executive and Assistant Vice President of Corporate Systems. "Ochsner has hired 60 new full-time employees to implement the Epic system and bring this technology to our community."
Ochsner Health System is southeast Louisiana's largest non-profit, academic, multi-specialty, healthcare delivery system with eight hospitals and over 38 health centers in Louisiana. Ochsner has been named the Consumer Choice for Healthcare in New Orleans for 15 consecutive years and is the only Louisiana hospital recognized by U.S. News and World Report as a "Best Hospital" across seven specialty categories. Ochsner employs more than 12,500 employees, over 850 physicians in over 90 medical specialties and subspecialties and conducts over 300 clinical research trials annually.

Enter letter N in Item 73 of Form 552 when a person's request for a Domestic Violence Exclusion is approved. Entry of letter N stops the TANF 60-month counter for the person if the counter is 60 or less.
When the Domestic Violence Exclusion ends, remove letter N from Item 73 of Form 552 for the next month that can be affected. Do not adjust the person's TANF 60-month counter if removal of letter N in Item 73 does not coincide with the exclusion
period. For example, Ms. V was approved for a Domestic Violence Exclusion for the months of August and September. In September an MDS is held and it is decided that she is no longer eligible for the exclusion. The caseworker removes
letter N for the payment month of November because it's too late to make the change for October. Do not adjust the TANF 60-month counter because the change cannot be made for October.

The 2013 Nova Scotia Police Curling Association Championship got underway Friday morning at the Bridgetown Curling Club with eight rinks and 33 curlers converging on The Friendly Town for three days of play.
Local RCMP member Ross Lloyd organized the event but said he had lots of help from several local businesses including The End Of The Line Pub, Graves Value Foods, The Eggplant Café, and Bridgetown Motor Inn.
Besides RCMP members, teams are comprised of members of municipal police forces, military police, and fisheries and conservation officers.

Three clubs interested in taking out-of-favour Rams forward Luke Varney
Posted: August 14, 2010|
A NUMBER of clubs, including Queens Park Rangers, are interested in taking Derby County striker Luke Varney on loan.
The 27-year-old does not figure in the Rams' plans and is available for a move.
QPR appear to be leading the chase and Crewe Alexandra are keen on the player, who has also been linked with Bristol City and Millwall.
"Two or three clubs are interested and there are one or two discussions going on about loan moves. It could be sorted next week," confirmed Rams manager Nigel Clough.
Varney has made only five appearances for Derby since he signed permanently from Charlton Athletic for around £1m in January, 2009, a few days before Clough was installed as manager.
Previous manager Paul Jewell signed Varney on loan in the November with a view to the deal being made permanent.
Varney's last appearance for the Rams was as a substitute in a goalless draw at Blackpool a year ago and he spent virtually all of last season on loan with Sheffield Wednesday.
"With us playing one up top at the moment – and it looks as though that one will be Chris Porter or Rob Hulse – we don't need as many out-and-out strikers on the books if we are going to stick with this system," said Clough.
"There is no point in Luke sitting around and not being involved."
Crewe manager Dario Gradi admits he would like to take Varney to Gresty Road, where the player spent four year earlier in his career.
"I would love to have Luke Varney here but at this moment in time QPR want him," said Gradi.
"If there was any chance of him coming here, then of course we would take it but I wouldn't be optimistic on that one.
"I am sure there will be bigger clubs than us interested in taking him on loan."

"Surreal" is the only word coach Ginger Brown-Lemm can use to describe the season her women's golf team enjoyed this year at Mississippi State.
Wins at the Old Waverly Bulldog Invitational and Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational saw the team post their first multi-title season since 1999. From there, the Bulldogs were selected a GolfWeek.com Team of the Week before rounding out the season with a third place finish at the NCAA Central Regional and a sixth place finish at the NCAA Championship tournament.
"It was a great season," Brown-Lemm said. "We worked so hard to have a good year like this. It went so fast that I am reflecting now on a sheet I keep track of it on. We took 21 shots off our scoring average in four years and had two big wins. We had an All-American and All-SEC candidate. We made it to the National Championship for the second time and finished top six there. It feels a little surreal still, but at the same time, I know that we did the work every single day so that helps know why you got where you got."

The Azzurri secured a place in Group C of the main tournament on points' difference thanks to a 78th minute drop goal from scrum half Ryan Ghietti, which secured a 19-19 draw with luckless Lebanon.
The Cedars had fought back from an 18-0 halftime deficit and looked set to have claimed victory when Nadim Couri's one-pointer edged them in front with only four minutes remaining.
However, from the restart, Lebanon fumbled a possession and in the resulting set, Northern Pride's Ghietti struck to devastating effect.
The difference for qualification ultimately came down to Lebanon not scoring enough points in the second half of their match in Russia the week before when they were restricted to only one other score in the second period while Italy's bigger win over Serbia saw them go into the crunch clash with an eight point advantage.
A first minute altercation in front of a vibrant Serbian crowd set the tone for a physical encounter but poor discipline by Lebanon proved to be their undoing, losing the penalty count 7-2 in the first half, and 11-6 overall, when they conceded three converted tries.
By the end of the first quarter, prop Alex Ranieri and back rower Cameron Ciraldo had been forced from the field but when the Cedars failed to defuse a steepling bomb and conceded a second set of six near their own line, Italian loose forward Ben Falcone latched on to a fine offload to open the scoring.
On the half hour, Lebanon looked as though they would level but a knock on ruined a long Nick Kassis break and almost immediately Italy struck for their second score.
The impressive Wyong winger, who has had a terrific qualifying tournament, then went over five minutes from the break on the end of a flowing passing move, the decisive long ball coming from skipper Anthony Minichiello.
Lebanon, revived by coach David Baysarri's exhortations during the interval, came out with renewed intent at the start of the second period, but a long Ray Moujali break in the 42nd minute again ended with Lebanon squandering a possession.
Soon after, another Kassis bust set the position for Adnan al-Zabedieh to go over.
Momentum shifted after two tries were scored in as many minutes in the lead up to the hour, as first Moujali powered over and, with the Cedars making ground with every set, a kick on the last tackle took a fortunate bounce and James Boustani was on hand to take a scoring offload, Couri adding his third successful conversion to level the match.

So I've done a lot of scenes in Carrara that are quite heavy on using replicators for plants, plants, plants and more plants. Sure, they look nice but some workstations can struggle with them.
Here's an early WIP of something new I'm working on - for me it is quite a departure from my usual artwork. I will be keeping the poly count as low as I can and use the replicators as little as possible and avoid using the Carrara plant generator. What this means is (no guarantees but quite likely) that I can produce a DazStudio version of this scene. Bonus also that it renders quite fast.
There'll be a lot more to go into this scene but the foundations are in place.

Eastern gives Amherst late run in two sets in three-set setback
AMHERST, Mass. -- Returning to action after a week layoff, the Eastern Connecticut State University women's volleyball team battled Amherst College before falling in straight sets Tuesday night at LeFrak Gymnasium. Amherst won, 25-13, 25-20, 25-20.
At left: Kristianna Ibsen (foreground), Taylor Abelli and Britt Carrier combined for 26 digs and handled 42 reception attempts wtih five errors Tuesday night.
The second-ranked New England team in the AVCA Division III national poll, Amherst (18-1)won its 15th straight match, with only an early-season loss separting it from a perfect season. Amherst has beaten Eastern (11-12) the last nine times the teams have met after the Warriors won the first three matches in this series.
Eastern, which has lost two straight after a three-match winning streak, was tied with Amherst as late as 17-17 in the second set and 16-16 in the third set. Trailing 22-20 in the second set, Eastern commited two attack errors and Amherst converted an attack attempt. A kill by sophomore middle Katie Wilson (Pittsburg, CA) pulled Eastern to within 19-18 in the third set before Amherst scored four straight to take command.
There were ten ties in the second set before the hosts broke that final 17-all deadlock with two points in a row on a kill and an Eastern attack error. Down 12-9, Eastern pulled even on Amherst service error, a kill by freshman outside Erynn Miller (Stratford) and a re-directed kill by junior setter Samantha Slonski (Griswold).
Eastern scrapped back from an early three-point deficit in the third set, scoring six of the next seven points to take a two-point advantage. Junior outside Kristianna Ibsen (Shelton) had a kill and ace in that run and sophomore outside Danielle Bourne (Branford) an ace. The Warriors held a slim edge through the middle of the match, pushing the lead to four, 15-11, on the strength of kills by Slonski, Miller and Ibsen. Amherst finally pulled even and took the lead for good, 17-16 on a kill.
Amherst, which featured five players standing six-feet or better, and five starters from the West Coast, concluded its regular season unbeaten at home (9-0). Six-foot-one inch junior Cristy Meier led her team with 12 kills and sophomore Katherine Kanoff added ten. Sophomore setter Callie Neilson totalled 37 assists and senior libero Rachel Yorke dug up 25 balls..
Miller led Eastern with nine kills to go along with 12 digs. Ibsen had eight kills, a .333 attack percentage, and two blocks and junior libero Taylor Abelli (Cheshire) 13 digs, Slonski chipped in six kills, a .417 attack percentange, and led the way with 17 assists. Junior Britt Carrier (Southington) came off the bench to add eight digs.

Research Your Rate
The only way to know if you are getting the best exchange rate is to know what the current rate is! Before you leave for your trip, check out our handy currency converter below for an idea of what exchange rate to expect. If you're taking an extended trip, check the rate periodically to stay abreast of any major changes.
Currency Converter by OANDA
Use Credit and ATM Cards
You will almost always get the best interbank exchange rate when buying foreign currency with either ATM cards or credit cards, which will usually be 2 to 7 percent better than the rates you'll get when exchanging cash or traveler's checks. Try to use credit cards whenever possible for large purchases such as hotel bills, tickets and car rentals. However, keep in mind that most credit card companies add fees for transactions made in foreign currencies. (Capital One is one of very few U.S. credit card companies that do not.) Local vendors such as restaurants and shops may also charge a fee for credit card transactions. Read more about avoiding fees and using credit cards wisely in The Best Way to Carry Money Overseas.
If ATM's are easily accessible in the country you're visiting, we recommend using your ATM card for day-to-day cash needs. But again, remember that your bank (and the local bank) may charge you an additional fee for each transaction -- making it generally a good idea to take out as much money at a time as you feel comfortable carrying, rather than making multiple stops at the ATM. For more information, see ATM's Abroad.
Money Safety Tips for Travelers
Exchanging Cash and Traveler's Checks
When exchanging cash or traveler's checks, most of the time it is better to exchange your money in the country you're going to, not in the U.S. An exception to this might be if you are convinced the dollar is going to head sharply lower while you are gone and you want to exchange at the current rate by purchasing traveler's checks in a foreign currency. For tips on buying currency in advance, see Buying Foreign Currency: Get More Bang for Your Buck.
You will usually get the best exchange rates at banks, post offices and American Express offices (particularly if using their checks). Hotels are also worth a try. Avoid the change bureaus you see everywhere in airports, train stations and touristy areas. They usually have the worst rates, though occasionally you'll get lucky.
Poll: How Do You Get Money Overseas?
Wherever you go, take the time to shop around. Read the posted exchange rates carefully, and ask for the net rate after commissions. Some commissions are charged on a per-item basis on each transaction, others on a percentage basis. To lure customers, some money changers will post the sell rate for U.S. dollars rather than the buy rate (which is what you will want if you are exchanging U.S. dollars into foreign currency). Another popular tactic is to list a great rate that is only available for very large quantities of money (thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars). You usually will not run into this problem at reputable banks or government-run post offices.
Finally, be very wary of black market exchanges, which can be a source of scams or counterfeit currency.
When Not to Exchange
U.S. dollars may be accepted as readily as the local currency in certain countries. For instance, the currencies in Belize, Barbados, the Bahamas and other Caribbean nations are pegged to the U.S. dollar at fixed rates, making it easy to pay for your purchases in either American money or the local currency. If you're traveling to a place where the exchange rate is fixed, you may be better off paying in your own currency so that you don't lose money on commissions or credit card fees.
25 Ways to Save on Caribbean Travel
However, it's not always a good idea to pay in U.S. dollars, even if the option is open to you. In countries where the exchange rate is variable, the price that is listed in U.S. dollars may not be a great deal; often the merchant will charge you a little extra for the convenience of paying in your own currency. Packing a small calculator or using the one on your smartphone may be useful to help you figure out whether you're getting a fair price.

Chemistry Requirement in 68S
- This is more of a question than an experience, I would like to know if you will still be allowed in the 68S school without a credit in chemistry.
- —Guest Anwar S
68W and 68 D
- I have deployed as a 68W and loved it! Before joining I was a surgical technition (68 D) and have worked as one in the Army but, am having a really difficult time trying to find how to convert my training into a secondary MOS of 68 D. Help anyone?
- —Guest Kami
- went to 91R school in Chicago in 1968. Had BBA and thought school was great. Spent 2 1/2 years at Fort Myer, VA. Wide range of commissary and troop breakdown duties. There when "boxed beef" came out. Boarded for E-6 (under 3 years) but got black-balled. no regrets. Would I have stayed in if promoted? Answer will never be known. Would have been fun as an instructor at school. Now opportunities as WO. very interesting. Great field for somebody not knowing what to do for a career.
- —Guest old 67
- I am currently a 68 W medic in the new mexico national guard and I love it! I get used alot for anything from weapons ranges to kids camps. It is a great experience if u get a good unit.
- —Guest NM 68W
- This was the best MOS out there, best training area, best instructors, and the most difficult AIT in the Army, grueling info for an hour, then study for 45 min, then test time! It is 10 months long AIT and the work learned can be applied anywhere in the world.
- —Guest SPEC Sky
- I just signed in to the DEP as a Combat Medic and ship out June 11, 2013 to Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri. I wanted this job so bad that I gave up an $8,000 signing bonus for EOD.
- —Guest 68W
68 Series (68W, 68D, 68W8Y6)
- When I first came in (1978) we called the 68W's 91B's, 68D/91D and 68WY6 91NY6 - however, it appears in FY14 this will return to being a 68N (just for those of us with ASI Y6). All in all All of these MOS's have had good and bad times. I spent my first 4 years as a D working mostly in major Med Ctrs (Landstuhl, FAMC - currently closed, and Walter Reed) Re-up'd as a Y6 at the time only taught at NSHS Bethesda and 54wk ASI. Nice thing about being navy trained (NSHS) was that we learned much more than Ft. Sam is now teaching (only Cath-Lab) - we were Cardiopulmonologists when we finished. Had a 22yr break in service and just came back in - currently working as an instructor for the 68W's for the reserves @ camp parks. Reserve reclass training is much more compressed than Ft. Sams AD course. Phase one is only ~2wks with the EMT portion (excluding practicals and NREMT testing) only lasting 10 days (get ready to study - 2000 page book in 10 days with tests almost every day) Good Luck
- —Guest Old Sarge
- If you are active duty you will be able to actually use your job but if you are reserve or national guard choose a different career path we do not utilize our MOS at all.
- —Guest 68S
Preventive Medicine specialist 68S
- I am active duty specialist working as 68S. It is best job as for as Military occupations are concerned. One 68S job is equal to 16 68W ask any EXPERT on both fields. It is mostly related to environmental health. In AIT they give you opportunity to take Certified environmental health technician test(I passed it on January 06, 2012). It is a very good certification one might need in civilian world. 68S training is very tense because they teach you everything related to environmental health from water to food, air to soul etc. You normally work in a hospital setting where you will have a separate Preventive medicine department. You will be having a lot of fun if you are in ALASKA(mostly travel, visits, training, fun).
- —Guest BAZ
- i just graduated this school and i want to laught at what they say about this job. its not as simple as they make it seam and the school is hard . however it was so worth the pain to pass it and finally have the honor of calling my self a BMET. it has been a very long year . i do want to say that the school is no longer at sheppered afb but now is at fort sam houstion in san antonio tx.

Mom to DS(8), DS(6), DD(4), and DS(1). "Kids do as well as they can."
I went out to get some magazines and nothing jumped out at me...I just recently got rid of all of my old collaging stuff and really felt like that wasn't the medium I was suppose to be working in...
Then, I was looking at pictures of myself on the computer to try to get inspiration and it hit me! I should do a digital collage!
here it is!
I had so much fun finding images and placing them. I'm a graphic and web designer so usually when doing this kind of work it's for someone else and I have to "be in their head" and can't always do what I want. This was so liberating!
I'm going to have it printed on nice paper today and put it in my journal - where I will write my affirmations.
It's so nice to read about everyone else's journeys! Thank you Tracy for all the work you do!
One question: In the FS baguas where would home improvements go?
Just wanted to ask, do you put things on your map that are not about YOU, but rather about someone you care?
So I have a question. Why magazines? Why not just find cool pictures on the internet and print them off?
One question: In the FS baguas where would home improvements go?
Work has been a big issue for me. I hate my job but am needing to stay here for various reasons. I am planning on leaving at the end of the year (dec) provided I'm not pregnant (one of the reasons I'm having to stay here now, we're TTC and I need the benefits.) So I wasn't totally sure what to put there. I had a few good ideas and I'm starting to get a few more. Clarity is such a good thing.
Another thing that was interesting was that some of my sections were over flowing (I knew what I wanted in that part of my life) and some sections were almost bare (because I was either confused about that part of my life or I was content with the way it was.) Just a very interesting observation!
I just wanted to tell everybody to not freak out if you don't have a ton of magazines... time... artistic talent...etc.
Two years ago, I read about the treasure map thread and then forgot about it until pretty much the deadline. I had a piece of cardboard from an Amazon box, a purple sharpie, and some foil stars. That's it. I wrote my things out...and then decorated it with stars. No pictures. No painting. Nothing fancy. Without fail, probably 95% of the things manifested within the next year... and some of them were really far out there.
So... to borrow from the old Nike campaign... JUST DO IT!!
Visit www.evolutiontosimplicity.blogspot.com to follow my epic saga of single mummahood....
Did the things you put last year manifest themselves? That's what I found for mine so my focus is different. For instance, I had a quote on mine about working hard for every dollar. And I did. So this year I'm going to have the money and work affirmations and images a little more flowy, so it's less of a struggle. And my friend affirmation came true (I have wonderful new friends) so my helpful people corner this year has some pictures of the Buddha since I want to continue my meditation practice.
Again, I think this might be numerological. 2008 equals a 1 year. And I think some of us are feeling it more than others.. we need to take care of Number One. It is not wrong or right. It just is. And by the way, those who are not as focused on Number1..it does not mean you are wrong or right. It just is. I think some of us are being drawn for our own inner reasons that we might not know. Remember it is all good.

I must admit, I am getting no where with my TM, but I'm trying not to freak out about it. Anyone want to take a walk with me in the garden?

So, do I map with images of what I really want in a house (for instance a stream on the property and a short commute to dh's work) or do I map images of the specific improvements we plan to make to this house should we get it.....

baguas? baguas? baguas?
i'm guessing the answer has to be "it cant matter toooo much..." but how does one decide which to use? the one i was using before has different break downs from what tracy posted, and different from the one goodcents posted in the prep thread.
here's tracy's:
i had 7 and 9 switched... travel was in 9, not 7... also, do relationships with Friends go with 3 or 4?
i think the travel doesnt matter over much to me, i can see it going in which ever fits better, but i really want to get friends "right" this time...
I've been thinking a lot about how I want to do my map and obstacles seem to keep creeping up to prevent me from going out to get supplies; since I couldn't get out this morning and the baby has needed to be in-arms all day I've been letting my mind wander and I am very attracted to doing one in an exploding lotus shape - the center circle with the petals moving out from it and baguas loosely overlaid on it. I've also been thinking alot of drawing it completely by hand - just pencil on paper, quick sketches and affirmations written in spirals. I haven't sketched or drawn in ages, the need to get my hands dirty doing this is very strong.
Sorry I'm not more coherent - this is my first year doing it and I'm really trying to open my heart and mind to the experience.

Nanotechnology - a tiny solution to the global water crisis: Frank Gu at TEDxUW
Israel's got one of the most advanced water desalination programs in the world and dozens of successful water conservation and reclamation projects. Now, cutting-edge Israeli research on water technology will make its way to American academia, as the University of Chicago and Ben-Gurion University have signed a partnership agreement to create new water production and purification technologies for deployment in regions of the globe where freshwater resources are scarce — based on nanotechnology.
The IWA Symposium on Environmental Nanotechnology 2013 (IWA-SEN 2013) will be hosted by Nanjing University (NJU) and jointly organized by the University of Queensland (UQ) and the University of Cincinnati under the auspices of the International Water Association (IWA) in Nanjing, China, April 24-27, 2013.
The meeting aims at bringing together researchers, specialists, professors and students to exchange ideas and present their latest works on advances in nanotechnology ...
University of Ulster scientists are collaborating with international research partners to develop a new 'clean' technology to destroy water toxins caused by harmful algal blooms.
Proposed Themes:
CAAS 2012, aims to bring together researchers, scientists, engineers, and scholar students to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of Agriculture and Animal Science, and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted.
At IBM, a team of nanotechnology researchers charged with developing new materials for making computer chips made a surprising discovery: the material they were working with also showed promise as a water filtration/purification/desalination membrane. Scientists at IBM Research, together with collaborators from Central Glass, the King Abdul Aziz City for Science and Technology, and the University of Texas, Austin have created a new membrane that filters out salts as well as potentially harmful toxins in water such as arsenic while using less energy than other forms of water purification.
Polluted streams, rivers, lakes and municipal water may soon be getting the Wright State treatment.
Sharmila Mukhopadhyay and her researchers are developing near molecular-sized "nano-brushes."
These fuzzy structures have bristles made up of thousands of tiny, jellyfish-like strands. The increased surface area of the bristles, with proper coatings, allows them to behave like powerful cleaners that kill bacteria and destroy contaminants that pollute water.
The SolarBag purifies 3 liters at a time, and can be used several times per day, on sunny or cloudy days. It is simple to operate, using the sunlight to activate the nanotechnology coated mesh insert to purify water. No chemicals or pumps are required, and it can be reused hundreds of times.
I want to invite you to join us in getting our SolarBag water purifier to the developing world using an interesting tool called Start Some Good.
2011 Clarke Prize Lecture Focuses on Water Treatment Innovations and Challenges from the Use of Nanotechnology
The benefits and potential risks of using nanotechnology to revolutionize water treatment processes were highlighted by Dr. Mark R. Wiesner, professor at Duke University, who received the 2011 Clarke Prize at the NWRI Clarke Prize Award Ceremony and Lecture held on Thursday, July 14, 2011, in Newport Beach, California

The Regina Leader-Post (2/22, Cooper) reported Canada, along with US, India, Israel, and China "joined hands" in a partnership which will harness "the potential of nanotechnology to improving the world's water supply." "Applying advanced technology to the problems of water is a serious issue. This is not a sideshow, it is a fundamental issue," said Henri Rothschild, CEO of International Science and Technology Partnerships (ISTP) Canada.
Water treatment encompasses a range of engineering and technological processes and is of increasing importance worldwide with population increasing, sources drying up and contaminants an increasing problem.

A harvest-minded church, committed to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ around the world. The time to reap the harvest is NOW!! Our church is focused on souls coming to the foot of the cross, accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We seek the fire of evangelism and are committed to taking the Gospel message outside the four walls of the church building to the streets.
A place where the Holy Spirit is free to move in any way He chooses. The Holy Spirit moves in many different ways: the glory, the fire, the river, the wind, etc. Our church seeks to allow the Holy Spirit to freely move in balance and in fullness.
A place where miracles happen. Signs and wonders are a hook in the jaw of the unbeliever, causing them to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Our church, through the Holy Spirit's anointing and Christ's healing power, is committed to being a place where people receive manifested miracles, experiencing healing spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially. For, it is God's Will for His people to be whole: spirit, soul, and body.
A family oriented ministry, committed to meeting the spiritual needs of the entire family. "Children are a heritage from the Lord" and we seek to nurture, equip and train them for their God-given destiny. Our church is focused on developing healthy family relationships and seeing family restoration.
A community-minded church, committed to being an oasis of love, reaching out to those who are lost, dying, hungry, hurt, sick, afflicted, imprisoned, and bound. We are focused on meeting the needs of other people, touching lives, and making a difference. "He who gives to the poor will not lack." (Proverbs 28:27)
A revival-minded church, committed to being a revival center, where people from around the world can come to receive impartation.
Built around God's people; not around a man or a ministry. The Bible is clear, "These signs shall follow them that believe." The anointing is not limited to the five-fold ministry; but, belongs to every believer. Our church strives to train, equip and establish believers for the work of the ministry. We are committed to seeing a mighty army raised up, walking in the manifestation of God's power, marked by signs and wonders following them everywhere they go.
A missions-minded church, committed to planting other churches throughout the world and specifically third world countries. "Go ye therefore into all the world" is our commission. As our church supports missions, helping to spread the Gospel message to the uttermost parts of the earth, the Kingdom of God is established through the planting of churches that feed the hungry, provide shelter, and disciple new converts. Out of these church plants, pastors are raised up to evangelize and plant other churches.

Want to know what book to gift to that 40-year-old golfing uncle?
He spent the weekend golfing, and all they got was to cool their heels.
President Obama had the temerity to be golfing on the Vineyard when the homeland was threatened.
mid-15c., Scottish gouf, usually taken as an alteration of Middle Dutch colf, colve "stick, club, bat," from Proto-Germanic *kulth- (cf. Old Norse kolfr "clapper of a bell," German Kolben "mace, club"). The game is from 14c., the word is first mentioned (along with fut-bol) in a 1457 Scottish statute on forbidden games. Golf ball attested from 1540s. Despite what you read in an e-mail, "golf" is not an acronym.
c.1800, golf (n.). Related: Golfed; golfing.
An exclamation of woe, distress, shock, etc: He breaks open a mezuzah, nothing inside, gevalt! but a piece of paper that says ''Made in Japan''
[1960s+; fr Yiddish, ''powers,'' hence an invocation of a higher force]

... started immediately on Monday in his first major-league at-bat when he ripped a three-run, first-inning homer over the right-field fence to send Atlanta's Turner Field into a frenzy.
Or, wait.
Did it start when he received the ceremonial first-pitch before Monday's game from Hall of Famer Hank Aaron?
Or, wait.
Did it start this spring, when he drilled a distant Coke truck and smashed the sunroof of assistant general manager Bruce Manno's car during one round of batting practice?
Don't look now, but it may be time to start scripting The Natural II.
"I'm not trying to do anything other than get ready for the season," Heyward, 20, told me this spring as the buzz around him grew. "I've been trying to win a job ever since I've been in the organization."
That would be all of, oh, one full professional season.
Heyward's was the most anticipated rookie debut of 2010 -- at least, until Washington recalls pitcher Stephen Strasburg -- and all he did was jack expectations even higher, if that's even possible. The Braves measured the homer at a monstrous 446 feet.
After the Aaron moment, and after outfielder Marlon Byrd had staked the Cubs to an early 3-0 lead, the kid stepped to the plate with the score 3-3 amid chants of "Let's Go, Hey-ward!" His parents, Dartmouth College graduates, were in the crowd -- on television, the Braves broadcasters said that Heyward told them he was leaving tickets for about 50 people today.
The pitch Heyward crushed wasn't a bad pitch. Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano left it over the plate, but it was down toward Heyward's knees. It wasn't like Zambrano left it up. Didn't matter, the 20-year-old phenom crushed it. Paul Sullivan, long-time Cubs beat writer for the Chicago Tribune, tweeted that Turner Field was louder than he's ever heard it as Heyward's ball went out.
Had Heyward not signed with the Braves after they made him their first-round pick (14th overall) in the 2007 draft, he would be a junior at UCLA today.
Instead, he's climbing the charts with a bullet.
Scouts this spring already were comparing him to Dave Parker and Darryl Strawberry. One former manager who knows both Parker and Strawberry told me that Heyward is far more mature at his age than Parker or Strawberry were at 20 -- another indication of impending greatness for Heyward.
"If you put in the hard work, it's reflected in the results on the field, in how everybody sees you and in you as a person," Heyward, who went 2 for 5 with four RBIs in his debut, a 16-5 Atlanta win, told me this spring. "It pays off."
One major-league at-bat in, it already is.

Here is a project I have undertaken in the past few years: reuniting WWII photos with family members.
My husband's grandfather had many, many photos (nearly 50) and now we have them. I took those on which names were written, and began seeking out family a couple of years ago. So far I have reunited one or two photographs with family members.
Hubby's grandfather was in Company A, 2d Med BN ARMD (I take this to mean 2nd medical battalion, since he drove an ambulance). Most of these photos were taken in Germany (Volk and Speckwinkle).
Who knows if someone might come across this blog and recognize a name, though. Here goes:
Joseph Scotton
Irving Sazoff
Albert Brandl
Warren C. Bailey
Robert Biggs
Chester Hester (yes, that is his name)
"Shag" Owens, Harnett & Cornell (only a nickname for the first guy; no first names for the last two)
? Monzelia & "Red" Herman (I think the first one might be a Philip J. Monzella)
Barney Harris & Bing (last name difficult to read - looks like "Grama")
Emil "Bing" again (Hrama? Grama?)
? Nermauger
R. Johnson (yeah, big help, right?)
J. G. Bell
? Dantona
"Pat" Pamplin (or Pomplin)
? Ferris or Farris
Capt. Byrnes
"Doc" Whitney
Rutherford, Leger, Bell, Karth, Tryon, & R. Johnson
Lt. Henry
Sgt. Blakemore & Moses
Blakemore, Fugua (?), Lt. Baker, 1st Sgt. Jurek, & Capt. Weir
Carle, Thornhill, Lt. Klein & Lt. Baker
Carle Cohen & Oliver Carter
? Rusboldt, aka "Russ" (2 men named Rusboldt enlisted that I've found; a Frederick C. and a Robert E.)
Sam Vitale & Capt. Byrnes
? Zigursky & ? White (2 men named Zigursky enlisted that I've found; an Edward and a Joseph)
Hopefully someone will recognize a name and be able to respond, and hopefully I can get more photographs out to family members who will appreciate having a picture of a grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, or great-uncle!

Time and again, we get asked which cellular network is the best. The answer is: it depends completely on you and on varying factors outside of your control. Location, other network users in your area, and activities on the network at a given time all impact the experience. In the past, I've seen customized Google Maps where users can report local coverage conditions. But after speaking to the Root Wireless team at last week's CES, I think there's a better way to research and report cellular coverage data.
The company's beta product is a small background application that runs on BlackBerry, Android and Windows Mobile devices for now. While so many of us focus on throughput, it's only part of the equation — equally as important is the signal strength, dropped calls, and failed data connections. Combined with throughput, these factors help equate the experience.
With so many possible data points, how then is the information useful to consumers? That's where the crowdsourcing concept enters in. Root Wireless aggregates data from the reporting handset clients to create detailed, low-level coverage maps. All data is self-reported, so there's no input or other steps required from the participants, although users can "record" coverage in areas to help report dead zones. Root Wireless currently reports this data with all four major U.S. carriers in 16 different metro area maps, found here. The Root Coverage maps are interactive, so it's easy to compare coverage by carrier or by signal, data or voice in a given location:
As part of the Consumer Electronics Show, Root Wireless used their own product near the Las Vegas Convention Center for six hours a day throughout the show. With just limited data, the company was able to create a useful graph of each carrier's data performance. In fact, it verified something we repeatedly said throughout the show as our iPhones became useless bricks. Here's the summary report from Root Wireless:
- Over the four days tested, AT&T's rank fell from first to last.
- The first two days, Sprint's data service provided faster service than recorded in greater Las Vegas in December. Then its download speeds slowed each of the following two days. Nonetheless, its service was among the fastest recorded Wednesday – Friday.
- T-Mobile's service never recorded the fastest download speeds, but it provided consistent performance day-to-day.
- With the exception of Wednesday, Verizon Wireless outperformed its results recorded in December, and Verizon provided the fastest downloads on Thursday and Friday, presumably the show's most congested days.
I think an automated crowdsourcing approach such as this is far more valuable that the various ambitious attempts to manually test the networks. There's simply no way one person or one organization can test enough data points. But when you open the doors for millions of devices to test them for you, you really begin to gain some meaningful and useful data.

Thanks, Henry. I tried asking their site to email me my username/password,
but nothing took (I tried "firstname.lastname@example.com", "email@example.com", "email@example.com",

Arusha — A new Trade and Investment partnership has been forged between the Arusha-based East African Community (EAC) and the United States of America, the 'Sunday News' has learnt.
An official statement from the EAC Secretariat here said the new Co-operation in trade between the US and EAC has been realized following a meeting on Thursday on the sidelines of the AGOA Forum between the United States and the EAC partner states in Washington, D.C.
The new agreement was signed in the presence of trade ministers from the five EAC member states as well as senior officials from the EAC's Arusha secretariat. The official signing was graced by among other officials, the trade representative from the United States, Mr Ron Kirk and the EAC Secretary General Dr Richard Sezibera.
The event was attended by the Burundian Commerce, Industry, Posts and Tourism Minister, Victoire Ndikumana, the Kenyan Minister of Trade, Mr Moses Wetang'ula, the Rwandan Minister of Trade and Industry, Mr Franaois Kanimba and the Tanzanian Minister for Industry, Trade and Marketing, Dr Abdallah Kigoda as well as Amelia Kyambadde, the Ugandan Minister of Trade and Industry.
"Recognizing the importance of strengthening the economic links between the United States and East Africa, our governments jointly resolve to pursue a new trade and investment partnership between the United States and the EAC," said the Ministers' statement.
This new partnership will be built on the foundations of our existing trade and investment relationship, including the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) and the United States-EAC Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA).
Under this new partnership the two parties are expected to work together to provide new business opportunities to US and EAC firms by reducing trade barriers, improving the business environment, encouraging open investment regimes and enhancing our two-way trade.
The initial items we have agreed to explore under this new umbrella partnership include a regional investment treaty, a trade facilitation agreement, continued trade capacity building assistance and a commercial dialogue," added the statement.
These agreements and other activities to be pursued will help to promote EAC regional integration, economic growth and expand and diversify US-EAC trade and investment. They could also serve as building blocks towards a more comprehensive trade agreement over the long term.
The ministers in-charge have already directed their respective technical teams led by the EAC to engage as soon as possible to begin consultations on each of the areas we have agreed upon. "We have full confidence that together, we can build a stronger US-EAC trade and investment partnership for the benefit of the American and East African people," assured the ministers in the joint statement.

Charter and Statutes
The Charter, an act of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania legislature, is the legal instrument by which Lafayette College was incorporated in 1826—a document that today would be called "articles of incorporation." Between 1832 and 1999, the Charter was amended seven times.
The Statutes are the College's (that is, the Board of Trustees') corporate bylaws; the Statutes have been amended 17 times since 1971, when they were completely "recodified."
These two documents have been traditionally published in a single booklet, Charter of Lafayette College and Amendments Thereto; Statutes of Lafayette College as Amended, last issued in February 2013.

If Republicans thought they could bully Harry Reid into backing down about his comments over Mitt Romney's taxes, they simply miscalculated, and all their outrage has done is keep a story front and center that they would rather push to the margins.
The latest salvo in the intensifying spat comes from Reid's chief of staff David Krone, who upped the taunts by calling Republicans "a bunch of cowards" and "henchmen for Romney" in an interview with Politico late Sunday night.
"To turn it around, all their childish rants this weekend about calling Reid a 'liar' and all that, it just shows you how scared they are that Harry Reid was telling the truth," Krone told the paper […]
(Reid's) spokesman Adam Jentleson responded in the afternoon by vouching for the credibility of the source and inviting Romney to disprove the claim by releasing a series of tax returns. Calling him the "most secretive candidate since Richard Nixon," Jentleson told TPM: "It's clear Mitt Romney is hiding something, and the only way for him to clear this up is to be straight with the American people and release his tax returns."
It's useless to try and shame Harry Reid off of this. Reid blasted out a FUNDRAISING SOLICITATION to supporters based on the comments last Friday. He's willing to take maximum heat as long as the Romney campaign still has to answer for the absence of the tax returns further back than 2010.
On the substance, Marcy Wheeler has credible speculation that the "taxes" in question are probably tithes to the Mormon church, which a Mormon Bain investor would say to Mormon Harry Reid, and which would be evident in the lack of charitable donations on the tax returns. But again, it's all speculation until Romney comes up with the goods.
Considering that Romney's entire advertising strategy is based on willfully quoting the President out of context, I'm bored by a debate over whether or not Reid is "playing fair." As for whether this whole tax returns flap matters at all, that's a more open question. When you attach it to Romney's actual tax policy, that he wants to lower taxes on the rich and either put the balance toward the deficit or increased taxes on the middle class, it makes a bit more sense as an issue. It all has a sort of bread and circus quality to it, but when the fights happen over words and slights and comments rather than policies that affect millions, this is the politics we get in America.

You can mentally direct the recipient to move up or down as much as 20 feet each round; doing so is a move action. You cannot move the recipient horizontally, but the recipient could clamber along the face of a cliff, for example, or push against a ceiling to move laterally (generally at half its base land speed).
A levitating creature that attacks with a melee or ranged weapon finds itself increasingly unstable; the first attack has a -1 penalty on attack rolls, the second -2, and so on, to a maximum penalty of -5. A full round spent stabilizing allows the creature to begin again at -1.

About Me
I'm a restless VC hunting for cutting-edge technologies, maverick entrepreneurs and bold contrarian theses. I've funded or founded and serve on the Board of companies ranging from high-tech nuclear waste clean up (Kurion), breakthrough metamaterials with Bill Gates (Kymeta), 3D printing (Shapeways), emerging tech research (Lux Research) and much more. My life is the intersection of science and finance, and I believe the future is already here just unevenly distributed and that the best way to predict it is to invent it. I'm passionate about education reform and celebrating science and the right heroes. I Chair a Charter School (Coney Island Prep) in my native Coney Island Brooklyn, graduated from Cornell and am active term member at the Council on Foreign Relations. I hunt for low-probability high positive consequence outcomes (aka black swans) and contrarian takes on markets and technologies.
