Re: ft benning basic questions
Thank you for the service you are being part of. I just graduated from OSUT @ Benning in April and I know it was very hard for my wife, especially the first few weeks. For both of your sakes, don't freak out, you will hear from him. Here's a few things to help (hopefully).
Inprocessing through 30th AG can take as long as 10 days, and until that's done, he doesn't have an address. Within the fIrst couple days after he actually gets to his training company, a packet will sent with his address, Family Day pass dates, Graduation dates and other info. But the packket can take a week in the mail.
Every company is different about phone calls (we got very little phone time) but he will get at least a brief (2 min) call within the first few days of getting to his training company. Don't expect much from this call, but you should hear from him soon (probably before Monday).
The first few weeks are the longest, stay positive and it will be over before you know it.

As the federal government faces heat over their ineptitude in Project Gunrunner that was exposed by one whistleblower at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, they are in desperate search for a party to blame. Who better than the whistleblower himself?
Fox News reports:
The agent, Vince Cefalu, who has spoken out about the ATF's so-called "Project Gunrunner" scandal, says he was served with termination papers just last week, and he calls the move politically motivated.
As Cefalu is the man who blew the whistle on the controversial Operation Fast and Furious headed by the ATF, there are certainly grounds for his assertions.

|WCC Starts Arts Council, Commerce Park Projects
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 02 April 2013 15:21
Watauga County Commissioners started the processes on two projects in their meeting this morning. One would hopefully lead to a new Commerce or Industrial Park, the action coming after emerging from an executive session in which the matter was discussed.
After more discussion in the open session, commissioners voted to start the process toward purchase of a 190 acre site off NC 194 in the Meat Camp area, just past Castle Ford Road, property belonging to Debra Earp Greene. Chairman Nathan Miller announced that the county had negotiated a$1.7 million purchase price for the tract, and although not ideal, was the best tract of land for the purpose and at the price. The county will put $50,000 in earnest money in escrow for the 5 months of due diligence, researching various aspects of the property, with hopes for development over a 5 to 10-year term, should all pan out.
The other process is on a new home for the Watauga County Arts Council, joined by the Michael Patricelli Craft Enrichment Program and the Community Music School at a property the county owns by default at 377 Shadowline Drive. The former New River Behavioral Healthcare facility has been vacant since the program folded and the property was foreclosed on by the county. Various aspects of Cherry Johnson's proposal for the new Blue Ridge Art Space were debated by the commissioners who ended their discussions with a motion from Commissioner Perry Yates… The vote to proceed was unanimous, but with a number of issues yet to work out before the final vote can come. The Arts Council, who lost their location in the Jones House Community Center a year ago, is now losing the space given freely pending the leasing of the property, and with a new business wanting the King Street space, that time has come, with the Arts Council having to move by April 15th.

DIY Heroes: 10 Backyard Builders Changing the World
Student: Greg Moore
Grade: High School
Ranking: First Place
Category: Tables
School: Appleton City High School
Where: Appleton, MO
My goal was to take the idea of a common sport table and create a functional yet eye-catching woodworking masterpiece. I used solid wood padauk and veneer core ash plywood for this table. Many special techniques and jigs were used to accomplish various parts of this table. Segmenting the legs and then gluing them back together true enough for turning on the lathe required several jigs; routing the inlays accurately enough with a straight bit and a plunge router required homemade clamping devices and other jigs.
A challenge I experienced was with the inlay of the padauk and ash. I had to make special jigs to clamp it down. Developing the clamps to hold the inlay down evenly was almost impossible. I used a catalyzed lacquer finish to resist scratches, dents and other defects. To get a smooth finish on the table, the sanding was necessary because a smooth finish is the most important part. I wet-sanded with 400 grit and buffed it back to a shine with a polish. The legs and net are removable so that it can be transported easily and used as a dining table (covered with a tablecloth). The ball doesn't really function–no bounce–but I chose to make it and the paddles to complete the project.
Student: Lance Smith
Grade: Post Secondary
Ranking: First Place

School: Center for Furniture Craftsmanship
Where: Rockport, ME
As someone coming to the world of furniture-making as a way of satisfying my long-suppressed inner need to find a creative and concrete way of expressing myself, I want every piece that I make to convey a story upon first sight. Who would own this? How would it be used? Why would it be here? What does this say about its owner?
This piece was designed to show elegance in simplicity and to allow the wood to be the major design component. As such, while the desk consists of very few lines, and a few sensual but subtle curves, the choice of materials tells the observer immediately that this isn't just anyone's writing desk. And the size of the writing surface and presence of only a single drawer makes it equally clear that this isn't a desk one would sit at all day long and use for more than one purpose. The long slender legs suggest that this desk isn't used for paying taxes or grading papers. This desk clearly belongs to someone extraordinary who wants to feel connected to the letters on the desk—the subtle curve at the front of the desk allows her to move closer to the letters.
The unnecessary continuation of the veneer on the bottom where one would normally see the inner workings of the case construction conveys a sense of admiration for the owner by the maker. This is a desk you want to touchónot just to feel the smooth surface but to connect with the desk's owner. This is the kind of furniture I want to make.
The desk was designed to meet a simple design brief—build something with at least one curve and some veneered surface. It has a hard maple core on the legs and a walnut case construction. The entire desk is wrapped in shop-sawn Macassar ebony. The drawer web framing and insides are Birdseye maple. And the top of the desk is actually birch plywood covered in shop sawn thick veneer and commercial burl veneer. The construction proved to be quite challenging for several reasons. The use of Macassar ebony posed problems as the wood began to check as soon as it arrived in the shop. Flushing 1/16-inch-thick shop-sawn veneers to a surface that has commercial veneer was challenging. Wrapping veneer over a drawer pocket and front required lots of numbering. Wrapping shop sawn veneer over the curved legs utilized every small clamp available.
Every step of the construction was challenging for me, but it was exactly what I was hoping it would beóa great learning experience that gave me a piece to be proud of when all was said and done.

Barely a week after Britain's House of Commons approved a measure to legalize same-sex marriage in England, France's National Assembly voted to give homosexual couples in that nation the right to call their relationships marriage. On February 12, France's lower house of parliament approved a bill that would allow same-sex couples to marry and adopt children, a package Socialist President Francois Hollande had promised to deliver when elected last May. If the legislation is passed as expected by the Socialist Party-controlled Senate, France will join nearly a dozen other European nations to legalize same-sex marriage.
Multiple surveys have shown that the French people do not overwhelmingly embrace legalizing same-sex marriage, with many French citizens joining with the church, as well as some secular conservative groups, in expressing their strong opposition. In January a crowd estimated at 500,000 took to the streets surrounding the Eiffel Tower in Paris to show their support for traditional marriage and their resentment at being forced by a small minority of politically motivated activists into accepting homosexuality.
Roman Catholics joined with evangelical Christians at the protest to warn of the inherent dangers to French society if it embraces homosexual marriage. Among the Catholic Church leaders who appeared at the event were Cardinal Vingt-Trois of Paris, as well as Cardinal Philippe Barbarin of Lyon, who spoke of the "violence" of the new legislation that would "change the meaning" of marriage. "This law is violently harming a nation," Barbarin told a crowd of protesters. "It will not mean progress for France."
Barbarin told Radio Free Christianity that "gay marriage would herald a complete breakdown in society. This could have innumerable consequences. Afterward they will want to create couples with three or four members. And after that, perhaps one day the taboo of incest will fall."
By contrast, liberal Socialist spokesmen insisted that the move represented the cultural progress the nation needed. "This law is a first necessary step, a social evolution that benefits society overall," said Socialist Party representative Corinne Narassiguin. "Opening up marriage and adoption to homosexual couples is a very beautiful advance.... It is an emblematic vote, a vote that will mark history."
Similarly, French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault insisted that "contrary to what those who vociferate against [the bill] say — fortunately they're in the minority — this law is going to strengthen the institution of marriage."

|Anderson trial: Second date not set
The Caldwell County District Attorney's Office still
has not decided when, or if, Sawmills murder suspect Jerry Anderson will return
to court.
Anderson was has been charged in the 2006 murder of his wife, Emily Anderson. A Superior Court judge declared a mistrial last month after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict. Officials could decide to drop the murder charge altogether. The District Attorney's office is still not commenting, and defense attorneys have yet to hear anything from the prosecution. In the meantime, Anderson is out on bond.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate Reporter
The Pleasant Valley garbage assessment has been deleted from property tax notices for some 480 Scofield area cabin owners, but it's likely to come back from the recycle bin as a separate bill in the mail.
After getting an earful from a delegation of disgruntled cabin owners two weeks ago, the County Commission has decided that putting the $75 assessment on the same statement that lists mill levies and taxes due did not go over well. New notices have been sent out as a result.
On Wednesday, Clay Frandsen, representing owners at the Aspen Cove development, raised similar questions. Commissioners explained that the fee was put on the tax forms to save on paper and postage costs. "We did everything we could to cut costs and it still upset people," said commissioner John Jones.
Commissioner Mike Milovich noted that confusion over the garbage fee - which has not been charged before - probably arose because the commission voted to impose it two years ago but didn't get around to collecting it until now. Nevertheless, he said, the fee is still necessary to cover the cost of hauling trash and paying tipping fees to the ECDC landfill in East Carbon.
The issue did not arise until the landfill began charging $22 per ton, Milovich added.
Somebody has to pay to put the garbage from Scofield away, and if the cabin owners don't, it means the rest of the residents would have to make it up. "I can't image that people up there want other people to subsidize them," Jones commented.
Cabin owners earlier commented that their fees would be subsidizing boaters, anglers and tourists, who don't pay but get to use dumpsters at Madsen Bay and between the campground and the town.
Frandsen also said fellow Aspen Cove residents had questions about what services they were getting for cabin property taxes in general.
Basic emergency services was the reply: police, fire, ambulance. The lion's share of all property taxes, some 60 percent, goes to the school district. The county's share is around 20 percent.
In addition, added Commissioner Bill Krompel, the county invested $750,000 in a bridge reconstruction across Upper Fish Creek which made additional lakeside development of cabins on the west side feasible in the first place.

- How to Read a Study Record
Data on preventive therapy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) affected individuals without cardiac involvement are very limited and currently lacking regard both ACE-inhibitors and Beta-Blockers in Becker Muscular Dystrophy and for the latter even in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy patients. Thus, the study aim is to compare the efficacy of carvedilol vs ramipril on myocardial tissue properties and heart function, performing CMR and myocardial Ultrasound Tissue Characterisation analysis.

carvedilol vs ramipril
Other Name: Beta-Blocker
Detailed Description:
This protocol represent an open randomized and prospective trial, designed to answer the specific question regarding the role of the cardioprotective therapy in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Becker Muscular Dystrophy patients. In this light, CMR could provide relevant data, reinforcing the scientific background, to start early (particularly in BMD patients in whom this is still a debated question) a cardioprotective treatment with carvedilol or ramipril.Finally,this clinical trial will clarify whether a preventive therapy may be helpful on the clinical outcome, both in reducing myocardial fibrosis and preventing the progression towards the cardiomyopathy.

Study on the Competitiveness of the EU security industry Publicat la data de: 17/12/2009, Ultima actualizare: 16/12/2009
- Autor:
- ECORYS SCS Group.
This Final Report of "Study on the competitiveness of the EU security industry" was commissioned by the European Commission Directorate-General Enterprise and Industry, within the context of the Framework Contract on Sector Competitiveness Studies (ENTR/06/054).
The Final Report of the study of the "Competitiveness of the EU security industry" sets out to provide a picture of the current situation of the EU security industry, its structure and organisation, competitiveness position and challenges for the future.
The study represents, perhaps, the first attempt to provide a coherent economic analysis of the security industry at the level of the EU. In this regard, the objectives set for the study were ambitious, particularly in view of the absence of existing relevant analysis of the EU security industry, the lack of statistical data on the industry and markets, and even more fundamentally on the definition of security itself. This is reflected in the overall approach adopted for the study, which is based on a general assessment of the EU security industry combined with more detailed analysis of specific segments seen as important given current EU security priorities. Accordingly, it provides a widely representative assessment of the EU security industry enabling a broad range of policy issues and potential responses to be identified.

Recap | BoxscoreBowers scores 27 as Lady Bisons win in OT
Related Links
Monday, November 22, 2010Confidence is the new keyword for the Lipscomb Lady Bisons this season and no one on the team has exhibited as much confidence as junior guard Anna Bowers.
Monday night at Allen Arena Bowers scored a career-high 27 points and set a new school NCAA era record for 3-point field goals made in a game with seven. Three players _ Courtney Boynton, Renee Logan and Catie Woods _ were tied for the lead with six each.
Bowers led the Lady Bisons to a 77-70 overtime win over Alabama A&M. It was the second win in a row for the Lady Bisons, 2-2. Alabama A&M fell to 1-2.
"We have a number of veterans who really want to turn things around," Bennett said. "The freshmen have really meshed. I think this is the closest team we have had in years. I think they all believe it is possible to play well as a team."
It was also the second game in a row that Bowers has scored 23 or more points.
"The thing with Anna is that she can create her shot at almost any time on any possession," Bennett said. "She is quick enough to make moves to get open.
"She has hit a good percentage two games in a row. She had some clutch shots in this game. She is super competitive."
Bowers gives the credit for her performances to God and her teammates.
"I give all the glory to God," Bowers said. "We have just come together as a team. I think that has a lot to do with it.
"I went into this game knowing we can all score. If it doesn't happen for me I can still play hard. But when you get on a roll it helps."
The game was tied 65-65 at the end of regulation. The Lady Bisons led by as many as nine points in the second half with a 43-34 advantage with 15:01 left to play.
Alabama A&M kept chipping away. With 54 seconds left Alabama A&M took a 63-62 lead, their only lead of the second half, with 54 seconds left. Bowers answered with a 3-pointer with 37 seconds left, but Alabama A&M tied the game with a layup by Whiquitta Tobar with 19 seconds remaining in regulation.
Guard Jenna Bartsokas added 13 points. Forward Leah McAlister finished with 10 including four points in the overtime.
Bartsokas sank a pair of free throws with 1:33 left in overtime to give the Lady Bisons a 74-70 lead. Bowers also scored four points in the overtime.
"Anna and Jenna have to carry the bulk of the scoring load for us," Bennett said. "We have put an especially big load on Jenna because she plays point guard along with the two-guard position.
"People key on Jenna. She wasn't in a real good rhythm, but she gutted it out in this game. She made those free throws at the end. She is our finisher on free throws late in the game."
Bowers, McAlister and center Chelsea McMeans each had eight rebounds to lead the Lady Bisons.
"Leah really gets great position around the basket," Bennett said. "She is strong and she has great hands. That is how she can play the No. 4 position at 5-foot-9. She can shoot the ball outside and she can rebound."
Alyssa Strickland paced Alabama A&M with 21 points.
The one area of concern for Bennett remains rebounding. Alabama A&M held a 59-43 advantage on the boards.
"Our challenge every game is rebounding," Bennett said. "We are going with three guards. We don't have a lot of size. It is a battle.
"We found ways to get rebounds late in this game. That was a big key for us."
The Lady Bisons will a take a few days off for Thanksgiving before returning to prepare for Saturday's game with Tennessee State at 6:30 at Allen Arena.

An upscale cocktail bar of high quality in the beautiful former booking office of St Pancras station.
There's an anguished moment when you walk in and have to decide whether to sit in or out. Inside: Sir George Gilbert Scott's lofty interior, a stirring example of the Victorian architect's interpretation of Gothic revival. Outside, under spacious canopies, you have a nearly ceiling-level view of St Pancras International station. The good news is that all anguish will cease as soon as you've taken your seat. Apart from having to wait a couple of minutes too long to get our order taken (sitting outside), we had a blissful visit. The cocktail list, drawn up by Nick Strangeway and the late Henry Besant, gives a prominent place to traditional punches, served in mugs. A martini was made well, and the Gin Fix (a variant on Gin Fizz using fresh berries) was a wonderful and refreshing potion. Warning: the free bar snacks, coated peanuts, are dangerously addictive.

Summer wedding season is in full swing, and while we love attending these momentous events, deciding what to wear can be a real challenge. Our solution? Spend your money on the plane tickets and a great gift, and get more mileage out of your dress. Inspired by Lanvin's Blue Silk Dress ($3540, 310.402.0580) from the S/S 12 collection, a fluid number with a classic Grecian shape, we've singlehandedly solved your dressing dilemma!The Dress
To ease the burden on our wallets, we searched for a versatile frock that, when paired with the right accessories, is appropriate for any type of nuptials. Enter DKNY's Sleeveless Tank Dress With Side Sarong Tie ($325)! This chic number makes a statement in hot pink without committing a wedding faux pas (taking attention away from the bride), while draped waist ties help define its loose silhouette (so go for all the mini lobster rolls you can handle). Read on to see how you can style this dress three different ways, depending on the type of wedding you're attending.
Beach weddings are often more casual affairs, so avoid overly flashy accessories and go for neutral colors instead. Hide ceremony-inspired tears with Free People's retro-inspired Fold Away Sunglasses ($24) in Nude and stash necessities in Tory Burch's chic Ombre Straw Clutch ($250) in Natural/Cognac. Trust us, heels and sand don't mesh, which is why we love Aldo's flat Cheshunta Sandals ($50) in Light Pink that offer shine with gold stud embellishments.
Though your initial instinct may be to tone down the bright dress with muted accessories, we suggest punching it up with equally vivid pieces for a daytime soiree. Thankfully, hot pink is the perfect canvas for multicolored accents. Embellish the frock's simple scoop neckline with a choker-style necklace like Assad Mounser's Orange Techno Ikat Rope Collar ($320). Then throw textured accessories into the mix, such as Kate Spade New York's A La Vita Luxe Adora Clutch ($468) and B Brian Atwood's Colorblock Snakeskin Sandals ($325) in Red.
Nighttime weddings call for your most formal attire, so steer yourself towards high-impact pieces to glam up your look. Team this dress with jet-black accessories to create a sharp and sophisticated ensemble. Try an allover beaded clutch, like Zara's Shiny Mini Box Bag ($70) in Black, and sequined pumps, like Oscar de la Renta's Valerie Heels ($865). Finally, polish off your outfit with a single statement jewelry piece, such as Dannijo's eye-catching Oksana II Earrings ($420).--Tiffany Tse
