This is a press release from Black Diamond Advanced Technology regarding their unveling of their new APEx Predator System at the upcoming Modern Day Marine Expo.
(PRWEB) September 11, 2014 – Black Diamond Advanced Technology to unveil its new APEx Predator System at the Modern Day Marine Expo on September 23rd, 2014!
What do Windows and Android Tablets, Smartphones and Laptops all have in common? They don't always play together well with tactical peripherals, in a battlefield setting!
Today's budget climate has drawn attention to Windows and Android notepads, tablets and smartphones as "good enough" COTS computing solutions. On paper the cost savings are attractive but it doesn't address the complex challenges of interoperability and ensuring Situational Awareness on the Battlefield. Coupling the lessons learned from our users on the battlefield with our experience in tactical computing solutions, we've created targeting, command and control, and situational awareness solutions that help the end-user leverage and fully exploit their choice of COTS computing technology.
The APEx Predator System provides POWER + DATA which enables communications from tactical radios and peripherals to commercial tablets and computers running both Windows and Android operating systems. The system is designed for multiple mission sets that demand a flexible communications platform and power management solution. It allows for the simultaneous connection of multiple voice, data, video and peripheral devices, and their unique interfaces, back to a COTS computing device using a single USB Interface. You can also run all your gear from one battery, which means reduced weight and simplified logistics. Command and control from a single, simplified solution means enhanced situational awareness.
Coupled with the Black Diamond Forward Air Control-Utility Suite, precision targeting software for Digitally-aided Close Air Support (DACAS) and full digital call for fire, the APEx Predator System is a turn-key hardware/software solution that leverages low-cost COTS computing cores to deliver a precision weapon system.
Black Diamond has made its mark by delivering reliable, wearable, tactical computing solutions that have deployed to various theaters around the world and returned a trusted partner. The missions may be different but our goal remains the same, Situational Awareness you can trust.

CMSgt (Ret) Mickey Wright is a career USAF Combat Controller and an old friend. He is one hell of a guy and still works to bring the capabilities to our Air Force's Battlefield Airmen through his job with Rally Point Management. Recently, a friend pointed out an article he wrote for the Winter 2011/12 issue of "Air Commando Journal" magazine entitled, "Technology at the Tip of the Spear" where he discusses modernization efforts as well as the Summer Camp process that works to spirally insert new technology into the Special Tactics kit bag.

Thanks to Black Diamond Advanced Technology for hosting the article.
Black Diamond Advanced Technology based in Tempe, AZ has introduced its next generation Modular Tactical System (MTS), a wearable multi-mission computer unit that controls peripherals on a central display. The new unit has double the processing speed and is four times faster displaying 3D operational graphics that its predecessor.
The MTS is primarily used by US and Allied SOF for a variety of missions including precision targeting, C4ISR, SA, EOD and UAS/UGV control. The MTS has been fielded in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) since 2010 as a TRL-9 solution.
"The TMC Dual-Core improvements are being offered to help future-proof the MTS kit for our customers," said Norman Lange, director of product development at Black Diamond.
The MTS Tactical Mission Controller (TMC), which is the heart of the MTS kit and houses a computer, power management system and embedded radio interface electronics, now employs a dual-core Intel processor. The TMC Dual-Core provides a more than two times faster processor and more than four times faster 3D graphics engine—all for the same size and weight while maintaining backward compatibility with fielded MTS accessories and cables. The dual-core processor also provides the ability for simultaneous dual-video output and support for new radios, as well as other feature improvements. The MOLLE-compatible TMC is worn on the back of the tactical vest or can be configured in a pack or carry-bag.
Earlier this year the US Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) selected the Black Diamond Advanced Technology Modular Tactical System (MTS) as their next-generation Operator Control System (OCS). Used by Special Operations Forces and Joint Terminal Attack Controllers, the Battlefield Air Operations (BAO) OCS is a wearable solution, incorporating a tactical vest with power management and a rugged computing device, designed for dismounted Close Air Support operations and communications control.
Bow, they have completed delivery of 92 MTS kits to several units within the United States Air National Guard (ANG) and Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC). Additionally, Black Diamond is now training end-users on the proper operation and employment of the MTS.
The MTS units will be used by Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) personnel within select ANG Air Support Operations Squadrons (ASOS), and Guardian Angel Combat Rescue Officer Team Commanders (CROTCs) and Pararescue Team Leaders (PJTLs) within the 10th AFRC.
TACP personnel within 13 different ANG ASOS elements make up an elite combat force whose mission is to provide airspace deconfliction and close air support for ground troops. TACPs will receive training on using the MTS in a dismounted role to digitally aid their mission of precision terminal attack guidance including targeting, communications management, and other command and control functions.
The 10th Air Force houses the Combat Air Forces components of AFRC. CROTCs and PJTLs at a number of these installations will receive equipment and training from Black Diamond Advanced Technology, enabling them to aid their vital personnel recovery mission and provide emergency medical care and evacuation in combat and humanitarian operations.
Black Diamond Advanced Technology specializes in wearable computer and communications systems that treat the warfighter as a system, allowing foot-mobile operation while carrying less weight and providing unobstructed access to ammunition, hydration and other mission-critical equipment. The MTS is primarily used by SOF personnel for a variety of missions including Precision Targeting, C4ISR, SA, EOD and UAS/UGV control. MTS has been fielded in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) since 2010.
The MTS will be on display at the ANG/AFRC Weapons and Tactics (WEPTAC) Conference in Tucson, AZ, Oct 22-23. Units who are not part of this fielding can source MTS through www.ADSinc.com.
Under a Firm Fixed-Price Contract the US Air Force has chosen the Black Diamond Advanced Technology's Modular Tactical System (MTS) as their next-generation US Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) Operator Control System (OCS). Used by Special Operations Forces and Joint Terminal Attack Controllers, the Battlefield Air Operations (BAO) OCS is a wearable solution, incorporating a tactical vest with power management and a rugged computing device, designed for dismounted Close Air Support operations and communications control.
A component of the BAO kit, the MTS is a wearable, combat-enabled tactical communications tool providing situational awareness and blue force tracking. It also functions as a precision strike tool that facilitates control of multiple mission-critical peripherals on a central display, eliminating battery and equipment redundancies and lightening the load on the operator.
With the MTS at the core, the overall solution reduces the time required for the JTAC to prosecute a target and increases accuracy and efficiency by allowing the operator to maximize the existing radio and air-asset capabilities during dismounted operations.
I was able to try out a version of the MTS last year. It is an impressive system that is integrated directly into an armor carrier. What really impressed me was that it is right there in front of you and you don't have to pack up a laptop to move. You can quickly transition back and forth between the screen and your surroundings to maintain situational awareness.
You can run it through the paces as well at this week's Warrior Expo East. Additionally, ADS Inc offers the MTS for units and organizations that require on the move computing but who are not part of this program of record.

We just found out that ADS will now be distributing Black Diamond Advanced Technology's Modular Tactical System (MTS).
We wrote about the MTS last month and think it is a fantastic offering. By integrating the computer system directly into your PPE, transition your attention from computer to real world is instantaneous. No more storing fragile fear before you can move out. In the sample pictured above, the MTS is integrated into a BAE RBAV used by SOCOM. The ADS partnership may very well result in additional integrations for this technology. Make sure you check out our previous article on the MTS if you are unfamiliar with it.
For those attending the Warrior Expo-East, Thursday, July 14 and Friday, July 15 in Virginia Beach, VA, you can see a demonstration of the MTS in booth #187.
Black Diamond Advanced Technology recently introduced its Modular Tactical System (MTS), a lightweight, wearable and rugged computer system that is integrated into the user's uniform and equipment, and optimized for dismounted C4ISR. What's more, it's available now as a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) product.
On of the major issues with "tactical computers" is that they become attention hogs. It's kind of like texting while driving. You end up taking your head out of the fight in order to deal with the computer. Black Diamond recognized this and took steps to mitigate the effect. The equipment is integrated directly into your equipment. This means you don't have to take time to put a computer away and can instantly transition from learning of a threat to dealing with it. The system is well suited for Command and Control use by small unit leaders, targeting (JTACs, TACPs and Forward Observers), combat medics, explosive ordnance disposal as well as combat weather and military intelligence applications.
Additionally, this modular approach of deconstructing the computer and communications system to fully integrate it into the uniform and common equipment means it is lighter than other models. It can be integrated into most plate carriers with a new cummerbund for cable management. Additionally, the entire system can be integrated into a low profile pack or bag for a more self contained operational capability.
The heart of the MTS is the Tactical Mission Controller (TMC), a low-profile processing platform, peripheral controller and power manager which is carried on the rear of the plate carrier. Cables are routed through an interchangeable cummerbund that integrates with body armor. A flip-down front pocket opens quickly for access to the removable 6.5-inch, sunlight-viewable, night vision goggle (NVG)-compatible Universal Tactical Display (UTD). A Tactical HUB for interfacing with mission-specific peripherals like rangefinders is routed along the cummerbund to provide easy, non-intrusive access to I/O ports. Power is sourced from a wide range of existing military batteries already carried by the Soldier.
"Black Diamond's goal was to approach the wearable computer solution as a complete system, providing true on-the-move performance and situational awareness for a variety of applications,†said Justin Dyster, Black Diamond's vice president of engineering. "By offering the MTS as a COTS system, we're eliminating the cost and developmental delay for applications that may be too small for a full-blown development program and are too complex to employ basic soldier system computers.â€
For those of you concerned about security, Black Diamond has thought about that as well. It features a Trusted Platform Module, can be zerorized and can detect tampering. Additionally, the UTD produces no detectable light beyond 10 meters when used in NVG mode.
Finally, if you have been using a battlefield computing device you will be at home with MTS. It is a Windows or Linux-based system and is available loaded with the applications you already use: FBCB2 JCR-V, TACP CASS, BAO Suite, StrikeLink, Falcon View, PSS-SOF as well as any other specialized applications pending verification of compatibility with the standard load. Additionally, MTS features a couple of software applications like LaunchPad that, when used with the UTD remind you of using a smart phone. You tap an icon and the application launches. No scrolling through a bunch of menus to find what you are looking for. When used in conjunction with AppConfig, your applications are launched, sized and placed exactly where you want them on the screen. There is also software on the system to control radios as well as the Coastal Defense MVR-IV from the UTD. Finally, Black Diamond has included a Built In Test every time the system powers up to verify integrity.
All in all, a lot of thought has been into the MTS and it is obvious Black Diamond has taken input from users and applied it. To learn more visit www.bdatech.com.

Fishing? Camping? Why not ...
Head for the hills
KERRVILLE - Spanish oaks ablaze in seasonal glory above Turtle Creek embellished the surface of the chilled waters below.
But ultimately it's not this dazzling palette of Hill Country color that draws anglers annually to Shonto Ranch in winter. They come for the jewels that lurk below these rippling reflections. They come to chase rainbows.
This cool-water attraction is not exclusive to a ranch called
Shonto, which is Bill Childs' 1,100-acre piece of the Texas Hill
Country south of Kerrville. But Shonto's offerings are not the rule.
They include a shot at some of the biggest stream fish found in Texas.
Land sculptor Chris Childs stocks rainbows and golden trout up to eight
pounds each for sport - although this is the extreme end of the
Headed to the hill country?

Stream flow info
Each winter, native fishes in several Texas streams and dozens of community and park ponds share space with non-native trout. Trout Unlimited puts rainbows in the Guadalupe River, while Texas Parks & Wildlife enhances the angling opportunities along other parts of the Guadalupe River, the South Llano River and in ponds throughout the state by releasing about 270,000 hatchery rainbows.
It's become a winter tradition.
Katie and I decided to take advantage of the recent cooler temperatures in two ways, by combining light-tackle fishing with camping. Texas offers ample opportunity for both during the next several months. Sleeping bag weather is within easy reach.
One of the more convenient venues for both is South Llano River State Park near Junction, where rainbows will be released on Dec. 14 and again on Feb. 6. This is one of the prettier state parks and better public spots to view wildlife. It's crawling with wild turkeys.
I suggest you make camping reservations well in advance. Many of the campsites at South Llano River State Park are closed during winter so as not to disturb a turkey roost in the bottomlands. But this didn't stop us from visiting the park and enjoying a short hike in other parts of the park.
We pitched a tent, however, at the Kerrville KOA, which is not as primitive as I would have liked but clean and convenient enough. And they allow pets.
For day-trippers from Corpus Christi, trout releases in the spring-fed Guadalupe River begin next week below Canyon Dam near New Braunfels. It's about a three-hour drive. Most of these fish will be caught using the lightest of tackle, while others are lost when spring turns to summer. A handful with superior genetics and luck survive in the deep tailrace waters within a few miles of the dam.
The state will release more than 17,000 rainbows in the Guadalupe through February. And on top of this, the Guadalupe River Chapter of Trout Unlimited releases about 30,000 additional larger rainbows and brown trout for sport. The club leases several riverfront properties for members, but the release fish cannot be contained within these sections of the river. And all Texas rivers are open to paddlers.
To help maintain cooler conditions during summer in the Guadalupe, the GRTU and the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority have forged an agreement to regulate flow through the dam with anglers in mind. This also helps protect TU's investment.
Ideal wading conditions include a flow below 500 cubic feet per second. If you plan to float-fish, most anglers prefer a flow below 1,000 cfs. To check river flow, call (830) 964-3342, menu option 1.
Around New Braunfels, Sattler and Gruene, there are several public access banks along the Guadalupe River. Whitewater Sports near Sattler offers paid put-in access to the river. Rio Raft is another outfitter on River Road near Sattler. Further downstream on River Road is a free access spot called Camp Huaco. A roadside sign marks it.
Another hotspot is just below the dam at Sattler. This also is accessible at no cost. A number of free access points are available near Kerrville as well. For a list of them, log onto HYPERLINK http://www.pico-outdoor.com www.pico-outdoor.com.
But if you'd rather not worry about river flow, crowds or no-trespassing signs, consider Shonto Ranch, where the fish are bigger and they'll let you drive to water's edge. There is a fee, of course, but it's reasonable for the return. And if you'd prefer, you could enlist the help of a guide for efficiency's sake.
Back at the ranch, where they allow pets but not camping, Katie, our dog Tiger and I spent the first hour of the morning trying to figure out what the fish wanted in the way of flies or lures. Chris Childs stocks several clear ponds created by low dams on a stretch of Turtle Creek that runs through the property. So if the fish wouldn't bite at one pond we had options.
We'd tried several flies and a couple of spinners when Bill Childs, with an arched fly rod in hand, ended our process of elimination.
"Found it, Dave!" he shouted from across the pond. "I think I know what they want. It's a little beaded nymph."
And so for the next several hours we enthusiastically tested this hypothesis. At least a dozen times, my conclusion matched Bill's.

Trev Alberts has only so much power. His bosses are the Board of Regents for the Univ. of Nebraska system. Here are their email addrsses. Just copy and paste into an email "To" line and you'll get all eight with one email:
email@example.com; email@example.com; email@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com; email@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com; email@example.com
Dear UNO Board of Regents,
I'm shocked and disappointed with your decision to destroy one of the most successful wrestling programs in the entire country. Six championships in eight years would be called a dynasty in most sports but in wrestling I guess you can call it "a good candidate for the chopping block"? Most university boards are proud of their athletic accomplishments and give special care and attention to those programs that are ultra successful. Do you have any idea of how many universities dump hundreds of thousands of dollars into programs just trying to win half their events? UNO is blessed to have a championship caliber wrestling program already up and running at minimal cost to the university and you are voting to throw it away? For what? Div I basketball revenue? You know your basketball team will never have the type of success that the UNO wrestling team has had in the last eight years. You need to explore other options that will not affect the wrestling team.
If you do have to get rid of football and wrestling, I'd suggest that to save money you don't give any scholarships for soccer or golf for the first few years and make the football players and wrestlers that are still on scholarship play soccer or golf until their scholarships are done - that makes about as much sense as what you are currently proposing anyways.
Good luck in your universities quest to be mediocre!
Due to the large volume of emails I am unable to respond at to each
correspondence individually. I do thank you for your concern and interest
in UNO Athletics and for sharing your thoughts with me.
Bob Whitehouse
University Regent
There's no such thing as a pretty good aligator wrestler.

In their first game together, three newcomers helped the Nashville Predators match their road win total from all of last month. The Predators were taking care of business at home long before Andrei Kostitsyn, Paul Gaustad and Hal Gill arrived. Nashville looks to extend its home point streak to a franchise record-tying 13 games Tuesday night when Los Angeles Kings center Jeff Carter will try help his new team continue its recent scoring surge. With Kostitsyn, Gaustad and Gill on the ice Saturday following separate deals last month, Nashville (38-20-7) won 3-1 at Southeast Division-leading Florida. The team went 1-4-1 away from home in February. Gill, a former Montreal Canadian, and Gaustad - playing his first game since being acquired from Buffalo - set up Kostitsyn's 100th career goal on Saturday. Kostitsyn, in his second contest since a deadline deal with Montreal, added an assist on David Legwand's third-period score. "That's three really good additions to our already good te...

Myth #3: Bully breeds are prone to locking their jaws, and have a stronger bite than any other dog.
Stories of bullies' super-strong jaws might make great horror film fodder, but science doesn't support them. Research conducted by Dr. I. Lehr Brisbin at the University of Georgia shows that bully breeds don't show any mechanical or morphological differences in jaw structure when compared to other dogs — nor do their jaws come equipped with locking capabilities.
To explore the question of jaw strength, a 2005 National Geographic study measured force of bite for several creatures as pounds of bite pressure. On average, dogs exhibited about 320 pounds of pressure, while humans came in at 120 pounds and great white sharks at 600. The study also included a simulated bite sleeve test with a German shepherd, a Rottweiler and an American pit bull terrier. The pit bull actually registered the least amount pressure among the group, despite rumors that bully breeds can clamp down with an alarming 1600 pounds of force.

The closing event of the pavilion is a Prada fashion show for 500 guests.
A "FOR SALE" sign hangs outside the Nordic pavilion and a real-estate agent takes visitors on house tours.
A worried Pastor Mathew John, who owns the pavilion, decided to cancel the screening.
c.1200, "large, stately tent," from Old French paveillon "large tent; butterfly" (12c.), from Latin papilionem (nominative papilio) "butterfly, moth," in Medieval Latin "tent" (see papillon); the type of tent so called on resemblance to wings. Meaning "open building in a park, etc., used for shelter or entertainment" is attested from 1680s.
a tent or tabernacle (2 Sam. 22:12; 1 Kings 20:12-16), or enclosure (Ps. 18:11; 27:5). In Jer. 43:10 it probably denotes the canopy suspended over the judgement-seat of the king.

Can we assume that you are using the Java console?
Which user name are you using to login?
Have a look at /usr/openv/java/auth.conf.
The default entries are:
root ADMIN=ALL JBP=ALL * ADMIN=JBP JBP=ENDUSER+BU+ARC
which means that only root have admin right. All other users will only have Backup Archive and Restore.
Supporting Storage Foundation and VCS on Unix and Windows as well as NetBackup on Unix and Windows
Handy NBU Links
thank you all of you
i am not using java console,

Cheese grating simplified with battery-operated gadget
While grated cheese, including parmesan and cheddar for sarnies, is one of the great joys of life, actually grating it can be a bit of a drag.
Get down to the stub and you can lose a fingernail; and then there's always the cleanup.
The Deni Healthy Cordless Cheese 4600 (that's what it's called) simplifies the arduous cheese grating chore by being battery operated.
You just stick a piece of cheese in to the top, and out it comes grated at the side, or if cheese isn't your thing, you can also use it for grating chocolate.
Available from Amazon for around $40.

|Sure to be a hot topic during the 2008 election and beyond, the outcome of the illegal immigration debacle remains undecided. It is a polarizing topic within the political parties and, although killed in the Senate for a second time on June 7, 2007, illegal immigration still looms in the minds of most Americans. Where does America go from here? This book provides a glimpse of what America might be like in the year 2036, two hundred and fifty years from its inception, with and without the future amnesty of up to 20 million illegal aliens. The true meaning of aWe the People of the United Statesa]a is in danger of being lost and, no matter what is in Americaas future, the land of the free and the home of the brave will be forever changed.

Australia coach Pim Verbeek has told veteran striker Mark Viduka "the door is open" for his return to the national team. Viduka has not played for the Socceroos since Verbeek took over as coach 18 months ago.
The burly striker has been dogged by injury in that time, but when he returned to health in May he knocked back a request from Verbeek to rejoin the squad for their final three 2010 FIFA World Cup™ qualifiers.
At that time Viduka said he wanted a break from the game after he was a part of Newcastle's relegation from the Barclays Premier League. Verbeek acceded to the request and after then guiding the Socceroos to next summer's FIFA World Cup finals in South Africa, question marks hung low over Viduka's international future.
The veteran striker's inability to find a new club after his Magpies contract ran out in the summer has hardly helped matters. However, speaking ahead of Australia's friendly international against the Republic of Ireland at Limerick tomorrow, Verbeek admitted he would still welcome the striker back, despite having never coached him.
"Mark is very important for the national team, however, saying that he has not once been in my selection," Verbeek said. "That is because of injuries not because I did not want him.
"I tried last June to get him into my selection but he wanted to concentrate on Newcastle. He was so disappointed with what happened with Newcastle so he said he didn't have the motivation to go to Qatar and play in 40 degrees and try to do it again."
Viduka has reportedly been in talks with Portsmouth to continue his career in England's top flight. Verbeek has previously been outspoken about the need for his players to ply their trade in Europe's top competitions if they want to be a part of his FIFA World Cup squad, and the Dutch tactician believes that is the main reason for Viduka's desire to remain in the Premier League.
The door is open. He has ten months to show me he is good enough,
"I think his only motivation to play football is to go to the World Cup," he said. "The door is open. It is not because he is Mark Viduka, but because he is a good player. He has ten months to show me he is good enough."
Australia begin their ten-month preparation for South Africa 2010 against the Republic at Thomond Park on Wednesday, the first time the Limerick venue, better known as the home of Munster Rugby, will hold a international football match. It is the first game for Australia since their final FIFA World Cup qualifier against Japan in June, which they won 2-1, and while Verbeek has named an experimental squad including four debutants, he will rely on his better-known players.
That means the likes of Premier League players Tim Cahill and Mark Schwarzer are set to start, although the coach said he would look to "protect" them with the new season just three days away. "I feel I must respect the players as well as their clubs," he said.
"I will look to pick my strongest selection so definitely the young players will not start. My experienced players I feel I must also protect with the season so close. I will give them a good chance to play, but maybe I will need to rest them at some point."

Thursday, April 14, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Johnny Jackson
Officials are pleased that funding for school nurses in Georgia, this coming year, may be more than they expected, even though it will be less than in recent years.
State legislators now plan to reduce the budget for school nurses by 4 percent, rather the 10 percent that had been discussed earlier in the budgeting process for the fiscal year 2012 Budget, according to Lisa Byrns, president of the Georgia Association of School Nurses (GASN).
Byrns, who is also a school nurse for Glynn County Schools, in southeast Georgia, said she is grateful that funding cuts were minimized. She said cuts to school-nurse programs can be problematic, and pose far-reaching challenges in any given school community.
"Georgia already ranks number 45 in the nation with regard to the student-to-school nurse ratio, according to the National Association of School Nurses," Byrns said.
A scaled-down budget for school-nurse programs leaves less money to pay for nurses, she explained, and could mean fewer nurses to care for students needing medical attention during the school day. "Salaries are pretty sad in our state, anyway, and there is no standard salary," Byrns said. "What I've seen statewide, all school districts have seen cuts to some degree. There are 160 school districts in the state.
"The budget is approximately $26 million, but we've lost a little over $4 million the last five years," she continued. "That's not good for children."
Byrns said the result of less funding, and fewer school nurses, is fewer screenings for vision and hearing problems, and limited expert aid during medical emergencies. "We're constantly here for emergencies," she said. "We're seeing kids in high school with high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes. Teachers and general staff are not trained to be nurses, they are trained to teach."
The GASN President said school-nurse duties have increased in recent years, even as budgets have been trimmed. "We've seen increased workload and responsibility," Byrns said. "Some nurses are covering multiple schools. And if we have to be out, there is no substitute for us."
The Henry County School System is an example of budget challenges in a down economy. The school system's revenues continue to shrink, and have prompted school officials to use different methods of providing the services.
The system currently employs 15 full-time, and three half-time nurses, or licensed practice nurses, according to April Brown, the system's administrative services director. Brown said Henry also employs 15 full-time, and three half-time clinic aides. Full-time nurses, or clinic aides, are assigned to cover two schools, while half-time nurses, or clinic aides, are assigned to cover one school.
"Hiring 'clinic aides' has allowed us to reduce our costs as the state continues to reduce our state revenue for the nursing program," said Tony Pickett, Henry's executive assistant to the Office of the Superintendent. "Our current state allotment for 'nursing services' is $593,885. We will spend approximately $622,500 for nurses this year."
Last year -- in response to budget challenges -- the Clayton County Board of Education approved a plan to replace all 37 registered school nurses in the county's schools, with 63, cheaper, health-care professionals, as part of a round of budget cuts.
Shereka Willis, a licensed practical nurse, who provides medical support for roughly 900 students at Red Oak Elementary School in Stockbridge, said she has multiple duties. "I have three diabetic elementary school kids here," Willis said. "They really need the help, as far as administering the insulin, keeping their glucose checked, and monitoring their diet."
Willis said she administers medications to more than 60 children at Red Oak on a daily basis. She said she helps with seasonal illnesses and conditions, such as asthma and allergies, and has contact with parents. She also tracks required immunization records.
"That's a very, very strenuous part of my job," she said. "Some have high blood pressure and migraine headaches. On occasion, we have stomach bugs going around. I also help look out for the teachers. I help out where I am needed."
Heather Carter, the parent of a third-grader at Bethlehem Elementary School in Locust Grove, said she is adamant about her 8-year-old daughter's medical care during school hours.
"My daughter has Mitochondrial Disease, and she requires 24-hour monitoring," Carter said. "She's very medically fragile. But she's a happy child. She loves to be at school, and she's making great friends. And that's because a school nurse is there."
School officials in Henry County said there has been no decision made on how the school system will offset the 4-percent state funding cut in the coming year's budget. The school system's budget is expected to be set early this summer.

Overlooking Rendezvous Bay — on the western end of Anguilla — the CuisinArt Golf Resort & Spa offers Mediterranean-inspired accommodations that play off of Anguilla's organic beauty. Every room includes an ocean view, a Bose Wave Music System, a walk-in closet, a marble bathroom and a private terrace (not to mention free Wi-Fi). These scenic rooms range in size from 900 to 7,500 square feet (a quality recent guests applaud). In addition to the spacious accommodations, the hotel also boasts an infinity pool (extending from the main building to the beach bar) and an 18-hole golf course. For guests who would rather hit the spa than the greens, the full-service Venus Spa offers an expansive menu of unique treatments like the Anguillan Massage and the Warmed Seashell Massage. Aside from the ocean views and relaxing recreation, CuisinArt also prides itself on its hydroponic farm that provides fresh produce to the resort's five restaurants. Though recent guests found little to fault at this idyllic hideaway, they advise making your island trek during high season, when the resort doesn't feel empty.

President of U.S. Bishops' Conference Speaks in Brazil
"The Great Mobility of Peoples Is Interweaving Us in One Cloth of Faith"
APARECIDA, Brazil, MAY 23, 2007 (Zenit) - Here is a translation of the report Bishop William Skylstad of Washington, president of the U.S. episcopal conference, delivered last week at the 5th General Conference of the Episcopate of Latin America and the Caribbean.
* * *
Dear brothers in the episcopate of Latin America, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, receive my cordial greeting on behalf of all the bishops of the episcopal conference of the United States. For my brother bishops from the delegation of the United States and myself, it is an honor to be able to participate in this 5th General Conference of the Episcopate of Latin America and the Caribbean and benefit from the abundance of grace that we are receiving during these three weeks of prayer, study and commitment. We want to have solidarity in the task of evangelizing this entire continent.
How could we fail to recall with profound gratitude the collaboration and closeness there has been between our peoples throughout our history? In many key moments, we have made of our continent, one America, one Church, as the Servant of God John Paul II reminded us. Many of our first parishes and some of the cathedrals of the United States were built with help coming from countries like Mexico, Cuba and Argentina.
In 1965, during the last session of the Second Vatican Council, the prelates of the United States agreed to carry out, through the bishops, an annual national collection to offer economic support to the Church's pastoral projects in Latin America and the Caribbean. The committee offers help to the Church's projects especially related to the application of the conclusions from Vatican II, from the 2nd general conferences of Latin American bishops in Medellin and from the 3rd general conference of Latin American bishops in Puebla. It gives special priority to the pastoral programs and projects that offer the Church in Latin America a base on which to plan its actions efficiently. In the same way, it will be at the service of the initiatives and priorities that arise from our conference in Aparecida.
In 2003, the bishops of the United States and Mexico approved the historic declaration "Together on the Journey of Hope," in which both episcopates joined to examine the impact of migration on the social, political and spiritual life of the two countries. Motivated by the call of the Holy Father for a "new evangelization" and a greater unity among the Catholics of this hemisphere, the bishops offered a detailed guide to all of those who minister to immigrants, and concrete steps for improving pastoral experiences. The declaration also offered a political recommendation to the two nations for respecting the dignity of the immigrant.
Since 2004, we have cooperated with CELAM [the Latin American bishops' council] in the project of translating the Bible of the Church in America; the bishops' council of the Unites States has committed itself to funding for the next 10 years -- using the funds from the collection for the Church in Latin America -- the preparation of a Bible for pastoral and liturgical use for the entire American continent.
Together with the bishops of Latin America, the bishops of the United States share a pastoral concern for young people. In June of 2006, in Notre Dame University, the first encounter for Latin American youth was held. This encounter showed the vigor and quality of the Catholic faith that immigrant youth have brought to this country. We were pleased that a delegation from CELAM honored us with their presence.
In these moments, we are concerned about the immigration reform that is being considered in the United States Congress. I ask your prayers as we continue fighting for a just and broad immigration reform that respects the dignity of the human being and promotes the integrity of immigrant families.
I echo the words of the Holy Father Benedict XVI in his message for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees: "Dear friends, the reality of immigration should never be seen as just a problem, but rather also and above all as a great resource for the journey of humanity." The great mobility of peoples is interweaving us in one cloth of faith, rich in diversity and culture. Those who go in search of paths of hope and life demand from their pastors that we are in fraternal communion and committed to giving an answer in solidarity with them.

sounds like a good idea.. thank you for ur advise
You are right is that it is not what most women may be comfortable in doing. But don't stop trying. My wife introduced me to her female friend who wanted to do some big game hunting this past year. Deb was a 1st time hunter last year. Attached are two pics of a mule deer doe and bull elk I helped her get last year. So definitely do your homework and find yourself a good hunting partner. Good luck in your efforts and we look forward to some great hunting stories and pics from you!
very nice
I'll second Sean's comment and advise you to get active in the site.
I'm a firm believer that you can get to know a lot about a person by how they write. I've managed to make a couple of buddies on this site and have had doors opened to me hunting wise that I couldn't even dream of prior to joining this forum. It may seem like some of the help is slow in coming but one has to give it time. Let us hear about your struggles, failures, and successes. Not every story has a happy ending but how one deals with the situation is telling.
Being honest and open has opened more doors to me than anything else. Also, don't afraid to ask. The worse someone can say is, "No." It's not like you've never heard that before.
yes i have heard it a couple times i really do appreciate all of your guys advise. thank you again.
Welcome to the site!!! If you have any ??? about hunting in west Texas/New Mexico lemme know.
Welcome to BGH. I'll agree with Sean and biker it don't hurt to ask. This past season Prhunter and I hooked up on a hunt and I helped him get a nice mullie and that's was one of my best hunts. It's kinda nerve racking at first to meet other forum members but its well worth it. In fact I'm getting ready to go hunt pigs in Texas with some of my buddies from another forum on our HSF annual forum hunt I'm apart of and those hunts have opened the doors for me to hunt several different states.
Got a pig last year i thought those would be a dumb animal But there pretty damn smart. Are u going on public or Private land?
Welcome to the forum and I'll second what everyone else has said about what you can learn here.
Hogs can be very smart like you said, especially those older boars. I've taken a few now on private land in Texas and look forward to going after more.
Once you get some experience you can be as good as anyone out there. My daughter is 22 and very capable by herself. Other than packing very heavy loads I'd put her up against anyone as far as the hunting itself.
We hunt mostly WMA'S wich are public but sometimes we have a few private land we can hunt.

I liked it the moment I saw how large the entire lobby area was. Lots of couches to slouch in should you need to wait for anything, big bar, big stage for live band, big restaurant, nice gift shop.
Liked it even more when I saw the sun and the pool from the lobby. Couldn't help running outdoors, exploring and soaking up the sun while.
Love the rides on the buggy up and down the hill.
My 1-Bedroom Villa is exactly as I see in the photos, right over the sea, no blockage, can see, smell, feel, and hear the sea every moment. That's what I paid for, what I dream off, and what I do not regret. I wish I can just live there all my life.
The entire villa is sea-view. Even the toilet is sea-view. I enjoyed doing yoga in the bedroom in front of the sea, and in soft sunlight. Never lived so close to sea before.
The rooms are excellent, clean (balcony is dusty because it is exposed), spacious, well-equipped. My goodness, the kitchen has everything, from pots and pans, to wine glasses and plates, knives, washing detergent, rice cooker, microwave, etc. I love the bathroom.
There were ants though, so be careful about leaving food out open.
Service is excellent. Although this could be because my husband and I were probably one of the only 20 - 50 people there?
They were on time for all of our room service meal delivery, and came down in 2 minutes whenever we call for a buggy to bring us uphill. When they didn't understand what we were talking about over the phone, two of them came all the way down in the buggy with the restaurant menu to clarify and take our orders in person.
I don't think the food is overpriced at all because it is restaurant food. And we pay about the same price, $50 for two person, when we go to Swensens in Singapore. The thing to note though, is that this hotel is far from city centre, so it is kind of like, you don't have a choice but to eat restaurant food for both lunch and dinner everyday if you don't want instant noodles. That's why the cost can really add up to some $100 per day, just for food alone.
Breakfast is adequate. Variety is not like Shangri-La (5-countries international buffet), but there are nice things, and it fills my stomach. I like the Soto Ayam and porridge.
The Kelong Seafood restaurant that is under Batam View is only opened from Wednesday to Sunday. And for Wed - Fri, it only opens from 6pm to 9.30pm. So if you go on weekdays, there is a need to think about how you are going to settle the lunch. If you go on Mondays and Tuesdays, you will probably end up eating the restaurant food for all meals unless you are willing to cab to city centre and back, which does not makes much economic sense at all.
The good thing about the restaurant food is that they are nice!! We loved the Fish and Chips, Salmon, Lamb, and Prawn. Only the beef is not that good. So you really do get your money worth if you are willing to pay for a proper meal.
Otherwise, there are lots of instant noodles being sold at the Gift Shop for a few dollars per cup. And Indoenesian Mee is actually quite nice.
As for the beach, it is not really for lying down. You can play beach volleyball there, but that's about it. I went for the Jetski, which I felt was expensive but nevertheless worth it, just for the experience.
I also took a canoe for 30 minutes. I wouldn't recommend the canoe or kayak, because they don't allow you to go into the wider ocean lest you can't control and float back to Singapore. It was disappointing because I get to kayak out to sea from East Coast Park, Singapore, and I really am not used to playing in shallow waters within the designated safe area. Perhaps it could be because Indonesian waters are much choppier than Singapore's, so the restriction. But anyhow, this is an activity easily available home in Singapore.
I would like to try the Gong Gong (some shell creature) fishing trip if I go back again.
I really, really love Batam View Beach Resort. It is an out of this world experience, and I will return to take the sea-top villa again if I can afford.

Tribute to Mac: : His Life
Edgar L.awrence McLemore was the 8th child born to Hazel & Bennie McLemore.
He was one of 12 siblings who began life in a small rural town in Louisiana. From a very young age, he, along with his parents and older siblings, worked in the cotton fields. He attended school sporadically until the age of 13. Like the brothers and sisters before him, of necessity he no longer attended school, but worked full-time during the cultivating and harvest seasons.
He left Louisiana at the age of 16 and went to Galveston, Texas, where he worked as a bus boy at Gaido's Seafood Restaurant. In 1964, he came to California. He joined the United States Marine Corp in 1969, during the height of the Vietnam Conflict. He excelled as a Marine and was awarded the rank of Private First Class at the time of boot camp graduation ceremonies. During his tenure in the U.S. Marine Corp, Mac earned the rank of Sergeant and served with the Military Police.
Although he did not see combat on foreign soil, he fought equally as hard in a military support capacity. Edgar (Mac) loved the Marine Corp and all that it stands for.
Mac's experience with Military Police sparked a passion for police work. He earned an AA in Criminal Justice from Pasadena City College. He attended the Police Academy for a brief period, but decided his talents were best utilized in a different capacity. He began his career in private industry with Sears as a floor security agent; advancing to Regional Security Manager for all of Southern California in a few short years.
He fought just as diligently in civilian life to protect the rights of people. His love for God, country, and family; his compassion for people; his sense of fairness and his willingness to fight for the rights of people who depended on him, his unfailing determination to be the voice for people who were treated unfairly, the courage with which he approached life's difficulties, and most of all, his kindness, shaped the man he became; the man that we know and love.
We love him a lot and we miss him terribly. In remembrance of a man who was larger than life: SEMPER FI
The McLemore Family
Family facts: 1 daughter (Kiana), 3 sons (Jason, Kevin, Lucas), 11 siblings with 9 surviving; 34 nieces and nephews; 58 great nieces and nephews; 24 great-great nieces and nephews.
Favorite artists/songs:
John Denver "Rocky Mountain High."
The Rascals "It's a Beautiful Morning."
Johnny Cash "I Walk the Line."
Personal messages
Lawrence was a wonderful man, a wonderful friend, and an extraordinary brother. Mackie, I miss you.
Your Baby Brother, Tony Mac
Mackie was the stable brother in my life and for thirty-four years his wisdom, humor, and love guided many decisions concerning his nieces and nephew's life. Thank you. You are missed.
Terri Mac
I am very saddened today because my Uncle Lawrence passed away. He is gone too soon. He helped so many people and has done so many great things in his life. We love you Uncle Lawrence and we always will.
Hannah McLemore
I still have the ring that Lawrence gave to me on my 21st birthday, it was a friendship ring, and I still remember what he said: "good friends should get good things." I was so excited. It was my first piece of real 14K gold jewelry. I am so grateful to have known him and to have been among his good friends. My love and respect for him cannot be adequately expressed.
HattiePea McLemore
As a child, Uncle Lawrence was my hero. He visited my family in Louisiana every year and he always made me feel so special. I will always think of that very tall, very handsome man looking down at me smiling lovingly.
Frances Hobson
I am going to miss hearing him say, "Heeeeey Luu-Luu". I will miss his smile, his awesome homemade ice cream, his sense of humor, and the mischievous gleam in his eyes when he tells us something funny. Lawrence was my number 4 big brother.
Love you much, Lula
I will miss our long talks about when we were young country boys. How we fished, went on adventures in the swampy woods, and raided the local farmer's watermelon patches. I know in my heart that we will have good times again. SEMPER FI. Brother !!
