'The New American Century'
3:41 PM, Jun 14, 2011 • By DANIEL HALPER
Anywhere in the world, when someone uses a mobile phone, email, the Internet, or GPS they are enjoying the benefits of the American miracle.
Anywhere in the world, when a bone marrow, lung or heart transplant saves a life, you see the value of the American miracle.
And on one night in July of 1969, all mankind witnessed the American miracle in one historic and unforgettable moment.
For on that day an American walked on the surface of the moon, and it became clear that Americans…..they could do anything!
America's rise was not free of adversity.
We faced a civil rights struggle that saw Governors defy Presidents, police dogs attack peaceful protesters, and bombs that killed little children in churches.
We faced two oil crises, Watergate and American hostages in Iran.
I grew up in the 1980s, a time when it was morning in America. Yet even then, we faced a war on drugs, we lost Marines in Beirut and Astronauts on the Challenger. We faced a devastating oil spill in Alaska and a terrifying new disease called AIDS.
Through challenges and triumphs, the 20th century was the American century. A century where American political, economic and cultural exceptionalism made the world a more prosperous and peaceful place.
Now we find ourselves in a new century. And there is a growing sense that for America, things will never be the same. That maybe, this new century will belong to someone else.
Indeed, we do stand now at a turning point in our history. One where there are only two ways forward for us. We will either bring on another American century, or we are doomed to witness America's decline.
A new American century is within our reach.
There is nothing wrong with our people. Americans haven't forgotten how to start a business. They haven't run out of good ideas.
We Americans are as great as we have ever been. But our government is broken. And it is keeping us from doing what we have done better than anyone in the world for over a century: Create jobs.
If we here in Washington could just find agreement on a plan to start getting our debt under control, if we could just make our tax code simpler and more predictable, and if we could just get the government to ease up on some of these onerous regulations, the American people will take care of the rest.
If this government will do its part, this generation of Americans is ready to theirs. They will give us a prosperous, upwardly mobile economy. One where our children will invent, build and sell things to a world where more people than ever before can afford to buy them.
If we can give America a government that lives within its means, the American economy will give us a government whose means are considerable. A government that can afford to pay for the things a government should do, because it does not waste money on things it should not do.
If we can deliver on a few simple but important things, we have the chance to achieve something that is hard to imagine is even possible. An America whose future will be greater than its past.
But sadly, right now, that is not where we are headed.
We have had no progress on the issues of our time because we have too many people, in both parties, that have decided that the next election is more important than the next generation.
And our lack of progress on these issues has led to something even more troubling. A growing fear that maybe these problems we have are just too big for us. Too big, even for America.
There is no reason to be afraid.
Our story, the story of America, is not the story of a nation that's never had problems. It is the story of a nation that faced its challenges and solved them.
Our story, the story of the American people, is not the story of a people who always got it right. It is the story of a people who, in the end, got it right.
Let us never forget who we Americans are.
Every single one of us is the descendant of a go-getter. Of dreamers and believers. Of men and women who took risk and made sacrifices because they wanted to leave their children better off than themselves.

iPhone in Canada to usher in new data rates
updated 03:10 pm EDT, Tue June 17, 2008
iPhone Canada Rate Report
The launch of the iPhone 3G in Canada should also see Rogers introduce new rates that may reflect a greater dependence on mobile data but will also encourage higher rates per user, according to statements made by Rogers Wireless president Nadir Mohamed at the Canadian Telecom Summit. The senior official notes that new plans are coming within the next two weeks that will accommodate more frequent data use by a wider number of devices, which most understand will include the Apple device and the BlackBerry Bold.
While declining to provide details, Mohamed explains that the plans will be "easy to understand" as well as more adaptable and encouraging for users who want mobile data.
"There's a recognition on the part of Rogers that the world has changed," he says.
However, the executive adds that he expects the average revenue per use to go up with the launch of the iPhone 3G. A typical Rogers customer pays approximately $63 per month for a combination of voice, messaging, and data features, but an average iPhone subscriber should boost that figure to approximately $90 per month, Mohamed says. Most of the increase should come from increased data use.
The average doesn't necessarily imply a $90 monthly combined rate for the iPhone's voice and data in the country and may depend heavily on customers with higher-tiered plans as well as any additional services that may be usable with the phone, including SMS message packages.
Whether this update corroborates previous reports of the phone qualifying for Rogers' $7 browsing plan supplied to Electronista is unknown. The company has begun offering unlimted browse-only packages on most of its regular devices but has controversially begun extending this to include smartphones such as the N95 8GB, which critics have said artifically limits the usefulness of the device without a true unlimited plan.
Observers expect, however, that the high profile of the iPhone and its unusual software will pressure Rogers to start offering blanket data packages that cover all applications and either supply unlimited data or else a relatively large amount of bandwidth use per month. The company has been criticized in recent months for charging well above what AT&T does in the US for similar phone service.

BURRILLVILLE, R.I. (AP) - A Rhode Island meat company is recalling 1.2 million pounds of pepper-coated salami due to concerns about salmonella contamination.
The recall Saturday by Daniele International Inc. comes amid an investigation of a salmonella outbreak that's sickened 184 people in 38 states since July.
The Burrillville company says 11 people who got sick had eaten salami from the Daniele Italian Brand Gourmet Pack.
The company says health officials have not confirmed a link between its meat and the sicknesses, but it wanted to recall the salami as it conducts further tests.
The company has set up a hot line for consumers or distributors at (888) 345-4160.
Eating food contaminated with salmonella can cause salmonellosis, a potentially life-threatening bacterial foodborne illness.

I enjoyed all episodes of ' missing'. Now they cancel the show! Although the plot wasn't powerful at least it had a plot, it took you on a weekly cheap trip though Europe.(cost of cable),and it wasn't a reality show.
You only gave it one season and have not given it a second to work its audience. Plus if you give it at least chance in the fall lineup it would have had more fans. The show was put in to replace another, give it another chance to prove itself. I truly enjoyed watching this series and enjoyed all the actors. We need to see more of these actors. If you don't give it another chance I hope it goes on cable, where it will find the audience that you never gave chance. I was looking foreward to season 2
OMG I loved this show, why did they cancel it!! Bring it back. It can't end like that. I thought this was a good plot with excellent actors. How sad and why would producers spend all this money on one show and then not renew it! silly if you ask me!
No second episode!!!??? This is the pits, as this was a show with a great cast and full of action. At least give it a second season!

Significantly? My experience has been that for a "recent" single novel eBook, you usually save about $1 off the paperback price. (I will grant that savings for TPs and HCs are often a little more substantial.)
And as for older out-of-print books... whenever I go looking for a specific book, I usually tend to find it is not available. I was hoping that I would be able to get more OOP books this way, but I guess perhaps the publishers feel the effort to digitize more obscure older books isn't worth it?

A cluster randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Intermediate Care Clinics for Diabetes (ICCD): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
1 Warwick Medical School, University of Warwick, Coventry, CV4 7AL, UK
2 Department of Health Sciences, University of Leicester, 24-28 Princess Road West, Leicester, LE1 6TP, UK
3 University of Leicester and University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, Leicester, Leicester Royal Infirmary, Infirmary Square, LE1 5WW, UK
Trials 2012, 13:164 doi:10.1186/1745-6215-13-164Published: 12 September 2012
World-wide healthcare systems are faced with an epidemic of type 2 diabetes. In the United Kingdom, clinical care is primarily provided by general practitioners (GPs) rather than hospital specialists. Intermediate care clinics for diabetes (ICCD) potentially provide a model for supporting GPs in their care of people with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes and in their management of cardiovascular risk factors. This study aims to (1) compare patients with type 2 diabetes registered with practices that have access to an ICCD service with those that have access only to usual hospital care; (2) assess the cost-effectiveness of the intervention; and (3) explore the views and experiences of patients, health professionals and other stakeholders.
This two-arm cluster randomized controlled trial (with integral economic evaluation and qualitative study) is set in general practices in three UK Primary Care Trusts. Practices are randomized to one of two groups with patients referred to either an ICCD (intervention) or to hospital care (control).
Intervention group: GP practices in the intervention arm have the opportunity to refer patients to an ICCD - a multidisciplinary team led by a specialist nurse and a diabetologist. Patients are reviewed and managed in the ICCD for a short period with a goal of improving diabetes and cardiovascular risk factor control and are then referred back to practice.
Control group: Standard GP care, with referral to secondary care as required, but no access to ICCD.
Participants are adults aged 18 years or older who have type 2 diabetes that is difficult for their GPs to control. The primary outcome is the proportion of participants reaching three risk factor targets: HbA1c (≤7.0%); blood pressure (<140/80); and cholesterol (<4 mmol/l), at the end of the 18-month intervention period. The main secondary outcomes are the proportion of participants reaching individual risk factor targets and the overall 10-year risks for coronary heart disease(CHD) and stroke assessed by the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) risk engine. Other secondary outcomes include body mass index and waist circumference, use of medication, reported smoking, emotional adjustment, patient satisfaction and views on continuity, costs and health related quality of life. We aimed to randomize 50 practices and recruit 2,555 patients.
Forty-nine practices have been randomized, 1,997 patients have been recruited to the trial, and 20 patients have been recruited to the qualitative study. Results will be available late 2012.

My First Recollection
3 comments:
- GrannyPam said...
Goodness. My only encounter with biting ants was during a drive from Port Bolivar, TX to Cadillac, Michigan in 1980. I had my three girls, ages 9, 7 and almost 5 in the car. We had visited my mother and family in Bolivar and Galveston.
Somewhere on I-55 in Mississippi, during a pouring rain, the youngest got sick to her stomach. I pulled over, opened the trunk, got out pj's and a blanket and stood at the passenger side door and cleaned her up and dressed her in the clean clothing. I was standing in a hill of fire ants!
I was soaked, in jeans, with fire ants biting my legs from top to bottom.
I know why biting ants would be an indelible memorey.

Candy History: Candy CanesFriday, December 20th, 2013 by Laurnie Wilson
The Origins of the Candy Cane
We've probably all heard the story of the German choirmaster who created white, sugary shepherd's hooks to keep the children quiet during the services. But, there are almost as many candy cane creation stories as there are varieties of candy canes!
What's certain is that these popular Christmas treats were originally all white. Many have attached a religious connection to them, saying that the white candy cane represented the sinlessness of the life of Jesus. As for the shape, many also claim that it's meant to look like a shepherd's hook, to remind children of the shepherds who visited the baby Jesus.
Although they were probably created in 1670 in Germany, it wasn't until 1844 that a recipe for straight candy sticks was published. And in the mid 1800s, candy canes were hung on Christmas trees for the first time. Back in the day, it was common to hang sweets and baked goods from the festive tree, so the candy canes were a perfect addition!
Candy Stripes
Christmas cards from before and after the 1900s reveal that it wasn't until the turn of the century that candy canes earned their stripes. There's lots of lore around the stripes as well, with some saying the thickest stripe represents Jesus, while the three smaller stripes represent the Holy Trinity.
Around the turn of the century, peppermint and wintergreen flavors were also added to the sweets, whose flavors could be distinguished by either a red or green stripe, for peppermint or wintergreen, respectively.
In the 1950s, a Catholic priest by the name of Gregory Keller invented an automated candy cane machine, to twist the candies into their popular shape. And since then, there's been no looking back.
Today, candy canes are arguably the most popular holiday candy with the longest-standing history. And they're not just peppermint and wintergreen anymore. Check out all of the canes we have to offer. You're sure to find something for every candy-cane-craving sweet tooth.

Candy History: Old Fashion Christmas Hard CandyThursday, November 21st, 2013 by Laurnie Wilson
Special Occasion Candy
Few things are sweeter at Christmas time than a handful of candy. Everyone has a favorite holiday treat that they look forward to all year round. There's just something especially nice about savoring a candy that only comes by for special occasions. And while we can't imagine ringing in the Yule-tide feelings without a sugary treat or two, it wasn't always this way.
Old Fashioned Sweetness
While people have been enjoying sweets for centuries, the first mention of Christmas candy came in the form of candy canes. In 1672, the choirmaster of the Cologne Cathedral created white, sugary sticks to keep the children quiet in his church. These boring white staffs morphed over the years into the hooked, red and white striped favorites we know today – and they still have the remarkable ability to hush any whiny mouth.
Over the years, the tradition of cut rock candy has remained a staple of Christmas festivities. Decades of grandmothers have known the secrets behind whipping up the perfect batch of sugary confections: ribbons, bows, and disks, all dyed and pulled to perfection. It's a tough job, but somebody had to do it!
Luckily, with our Old Fashioned Christmas Candy Mix, you never have to worry if your sugar has reached the proper boiling point. You can have all your favorite Christmas candies, with none of the sugar-burning disasters.
Old Fashioned, Not Outdated
That said, not all homemade candy attempts end in failure. In fact, some of the most beloved candies started in home kitchens before rising to the greatness they have today.
And speaking of great candies, if you enjoy nostalgic confections, you should take a look at our Americana Penny Candy Mix. Chock-full of sweets you may remember as a kid, this is one mix that shouldn't be missed.
Around the holidays, we celebrate the things we hold most dear: family, friends, and the candies we grew up loving as children. With our Old Fashioned Christmas Mix, you can help make Christmas traditions come true.

Candy History: Christmas Candy in AmericaThursday, November 14th, 2013 by Laurnie Wilson
Announcing a new Christmas Candy favorite!
Most of our top-10 bestselling candies year after year are Brach's candies like Butterscotch Disks, Villa Cherries, and Ice Blue Mint Coolers. But every year, there's one candy mix — only sold at CandyFavorites.com — that manages to rank among those established favorites. Penny Candy Americana Mix delivers joy to everyone who encounters it by bringing back the tastes of childhood for all ages.
What better time for the wonderful magic of rediscovery than Christmas morning?
This year, we're excited to introduce Christmas Candy Americana Mix!
A Mixed History
The history of Christmas candy in America is one that can bring back fond memories for almost anyone, as everyone seems to have their own personal Christmas candy history and experiences. Our love of Christmas candy in America stretches back many generations, linking families and taste buds for over a century.
Did you know that the first mention of candy canes in America was in 1847? A German immigrant by the name of August Imgard decorated his Christmas tree with them in that year, and they've been a perennial Christmas favorite in the U.S., ever since.
Traditionally Minded
In fact, Americans are pretty traditional when it comes to their candy favorites. Our Americana Penny Candy Mix pays tribute to some of the oldest and most revered candies in America.
Would you believe that most of the top-selling candies in America today were first introduced before World War II? It's true, and for good reason. If you have a good thing, why bother changing it? And, in the early part of the 20th century, America was brimming with delicious, new chocolates and candies.
Twizzlers and Hershey Bars have been in production since 1845 and 1900, respectively. These top candies are an ongoing testament that our appreciation of quintessentially Americana candy runs deep.
Americana for All
When it comes to Christmas candy, we Americans are devoted to our time-tested favorites. Everyone seems to love biting into a candy that reminds them of the magic of Christmases in their childhood. There's something really sweet about revisiting those memories of a time when Spearmint Leaves cost a penny and Hershey bars went for only a nickel.
Our brand new Christmas Candy Americana Mix evokes all of the nostalgic thoughts of yesteryear, with a little bit of everything inside. So when you bite into one of these candies, you know you're tasting some of the best that American Christmas candy has to offer.

Candy: Making Christmas More CheerfulThursday, December 1st, 2011 by Jessica Prokop
Entertaining guests is an integral part of the holiday season. Whether you plan elaborate get-togethers or get caught off guard by spontaneous drop-ins, your unused chairs and "nice" dishes are bound to get some play before the end of the year. I recently discovered a time-tested strategy for making all this visiting easier — one that seems to have been forgotten along the way by generation X.
It's very simple. Put candy all over your house.
I'm not kidding. As an eater of salad in lieu of dessert, I am the last person who ever expected to say this. Sure, I celebrate individual candies as their own independent holidays. But scattered candy previously meant nothing to me aside from an abundance of temptation.
I've finally found what receptionists and bank tellers have known for years. Candy makes people feel better. It makes them calm down! Even when they're being told bad news, like, "No, Michael's not here" or "No, you can't make a withdrawal. We actually want you to pay us before we'll let you leave."If little bits of sugary sweetness can brighten those moments, imagine what they can do for your too-small apartment when your great aunts, who don't like your boyfriend, suddenly feel the urge to spend unending amounts of time with you.
With a little forethought and very little expense, you can make your home an exciting place to be — for you, your guests, and for the children they drag along with them. Placing candy within reach has the incredible and immediate impact of making guests feel more at home. Elevate your freinds' enjoyment of your company by giving them something sweet to eat.
Celebrate the Season
The fun part of holiday candy is that it's socially acceptable to put it literally everywhere. Red-and-white-striped candy is the perfect complement to sprigs of evergreen. So hang candy canes on your tree and place peppermint sticks throughout your garland.
It's super adorable to dress up vintage jars or modern glass vessels for Christmas. Just fill them with different candies and slap on some homemade labels to give your guests a variety of beautiful things to snack on and talk about. So showcase your sweet tooth and brighten up your space at the same time. It's the one step of holiday decorating that will be painless (and might even make trimming the tree go more smoothly)
Share the Love
Putting candy around the house is a really suave way of getting people to try things that you love. We all want to share things we enjoy, but it can be next to impossible to get friends to take the leap on their own. Instead of giving treats as gifts — and having to wrap them and send them — you can encourage your guests to indulge while keeping you company. It's the perfect way to change minds and get first dibs on the leftovers.
Keep the Kiddies Busy
We all grow up with our favorite houses to visit — and those we dread. Candy is the best way to swing your friends' kids' opinions in your favor. Did you throw away the box of toys your cousin Hannah gave you for occasions like this? Distract with chocolate covered cherries. Have a tendency to snap when someone sets a little foot in your parlor? Grab some gummi bears. When kids have off from school, candy is the prime currency for buying time with your adult friends. The more rooms you decorate with it, the greater the scavenger hunt you can send them on. And the best part is, they'll love you for it!
There's no use fighting — embrace the season! String up popcorn with your holly and pair peppermint with your poinsettias. And maybe you'll make the holidays just a little bit sweeter for your self and everyone who visits you.
2011 Christmas Candy Stocking StuffersWednesday, November 16th, 2011 by Jessica Prokop
It's 2011, folks, and preparing for the holidays isn't what it used to be. Black Friday is starting on Thursday, and stores explode into Christmas mode as they take down their Halloween decor. Thankfully, online shopping has become much simpler and more secure, so you don't even have to set foot in a mall. (Speaking of which, you can sign up for our email newsletter to make sure you receive our Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals!)
Each year, stocking stuffer options get more interesting and impressive. Stockings provide a great opportunity to impress your loved ones when they least expect it. Especially in these uncertain economic times, small gifts are a great way to spread holiday joy without breaking the bank. Give some extra thought to your stocking stuffers and gift toppers to make the most of Christmas this year.
Giant Lollipops
When I was a kid, giant lollipops were a spectacle that could only be found at amusement parks. There were two kinds — the big, round, flat lollipop and the long, twisty swirl. I thought the flat ones got you the most candy, but my sister stuck with the twist. Either way, they made special occasions more memorable. These Giant Christmas Lollipops bring this type of fun to the holidays. Whether kids get to savor them individually or shatter them to share, they'll make little ones feel a little extra special.
Candy + Toy Novelties
Companies like Hilco have upped the stocking-stuffer ante by combining holiday candy with toys. These novelty candy-and-toy combinations give kids something to snack on, as well as something to keep and play with long after the candy is gone. Many of them can be refilled, which extends the value of each treat over time. These seasonal exclusives really make a big impression with younger children.
Lindor Truffles
The holidays are the time for savoring the moments, sights, and sounds we love. The flavors we cherish are center stage, and that makes this the best time of year for Truffles. Lindt Lindor Truffle Balls are the grown-up stocking stuffer your friends will go crazy for. We've got the flavors below, plus just about every other flavor you can think of — raspberry, hazelnut, peanut butter, and extra-dark chocolate for the most refined palettes. Unlike most online stores, we won't make you buy 120. Mix and match our 60-count boxes to offer your holiday guests a variety of indulgences.
DIY Gift Boxes
These "Make It Yourself Kits" take the toy-plus-candy novelty treat to a whole new level! Each DIY kit contains an adventure that older kids or even adults can enjoy. One of these gift boxes can enhance a party twice — once when you give it, and again when your giftee uses it. Each one includes everything you need to create a homemade batch of goodies that most people have never thought of making at home before!
Candy Canes – 2011 EditionWednesday, November 9th, 2011 by Jessica Prokop
I know that I'm about to give everyone whiplash, but it's true. The moment you finish off your Halloween candy, you run smack into the Christmas season. Well, Halloween has come and gone, and we're seeing far fewer hours of daylight. It's time to think about hibernation.
There's one little Christmas detail you can take care of now to brighten the holidays. As you stock up for the next snowpocalypse, take a moment and order your Candy Canes.
A Candy Cane Craze
Each year, the holidays creep in earlier and earlier. Before I worked at a candy company, I did not believe that anyone would buy Candy Canes in October. But now I hear those calls coming in, and it's true! They're flying off the shelves! The time to secure your Candy Canes (especially if you need lots of them) is now. 1.76 Billion of these puppies will be made this year, so whether there are 6 Billion or 7 Billion humans on the Earth, there's no excuse for not getting a few peppermint sticks of your own.
Don't Be Left Out in the Cold
When you shop with Candy Favorites, you can order candy canes (or stocking stuffers, or bulk candy) and schedule delivery for closer to Christmas. When you're pummeled with last-minute details, your future self will be so grateful that you had the foresight to plan ahead. All you'll have to do will be to accept the package and go back to basting your Christmas goose.
Classic Candy Canes
The thing about traditional Candy Canes is, people are expecting them. After all, kids have been enjoying them for 350 years. A Christmas without Candy Canes is like a breakfast without bacon — ridiculous! Classic versions are the most in demand, so here's a variety of options. We've got you covered with tiny ones, normal ones, and totally giant Candy Canes.
Novelty Candy Canes
Novelty Candy Canes make a great stocking-stuffing supplement to traditional versions. They take the candies you know and love a step further with crazy flavors, interesting textures, and even gum. While we don't advise that you totally forgo the classics, we have a variety of newfangled Candy Canes to keep your tastebuds on their toes.

New 2015 Arima Boats - Sea Ranger 21 - Walkaround
New 2015 Arima Boats - Sea Ranger 21 - Walkaround
2007 Arima Boats Sea Ranger 21 DescriptionThe Sea Ranger 21 Explorer is the newest addition to the Arima fleet. The SR 21' Explorer is the "cruising" version of our Sea Ranger 21' Hardtop. We've added almost 1-1/2 feet of additional enclosed cockpit area and some new amenities. We now offer an enclosed head, bench seating, cuddy tray, and a galley with a sink and stove. Check out the ten new seating options and pick the one that fits your needs.
With the floor at the same level as the water, this boat is stable and yet you can still reach down and touch the water, which is important for bringing in a monster fish or simply cleaning your hands.
Like other Arima Boats, the cuddy cabin on the SR 21 Explorer is trimmed off with cuddy nets and cuddy cushions. With the added 6 inches of length we were able to add an extra storage box/shelf combo. It finishes off this more than generous cuddy cabin.
The SR 21 Explorer planes faster and at lower speeds than even the Sea Ranger 19'. Its ride is quiet due to being all foam filled, as is the Sea Legend 22', which is unusual for boats over 20'.

Lakota helicopter flies strong now in National Capitol Region
August 16, 2010
By Mr. Matthew D Hickman (ARNEWS)
Story Highlights
- Lakota fielding process remains strong.
- Army installations prepare for new helicopter.
- Helicopter carries out various missions.
WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Aug. 16, 2010) -- The Army extended the presence of the UH-72A Lakota Helicopter into the Military District of Washington, Aug. 11, as it replaced the UH-1 Iroquois Helicopter, or Huey, at Fort Belvoir's Davison Army Airfield.
The Lakota light utility helicopter, a commercial aircraft produced in Columbus, Miss., is used by the Army to conduct homeland security and give administrative and logistic support to training centers. It began replacing the UH-60 Black Hawks in medical evacuation missions when they were sent to Fort Irwin, Calif., in 2007.
The helicopter has since been fielded at Fort Eustis, Va., Fort Polk, La., the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School in Maryland and the U.S. Military Academy in New York. It's also being used outside of the continental United States in Puerto Rico, the Marshall Islands and by the Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Germany.
"We're in the process of setting standards in how quickly we can get critical programs to our Soldiers in the field," said Col. Neil Thurgood, the project manager for the Lakota helicopter.
One hundred thirteen helicopters have been fielded across the military to both active-duty and National Guard units, with most going to the Guard.
"That's very important because it's part of our nation's promise to the Guard to field them with current, modern technology and to support them in their homeland defense missions," Thurgood said.
The Lakota continues to replace Black Hawks in non-combat operations, which can then be sent to Iraq and Afghanistan for missions. It also saves the Army money by easing maintenance issues that older Hueys experience. The Lakota not only does a good job of supporting the mission, but also helps eliminate the Army's fleet of aging aircraft, Thurgood said. "Both are important for the Army."
The Lakota can be used during search and rescue operations in the aftermath of floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters. It can also be used by the Army National Guard to perform counter-narcotics operations at the border. The primary mission depends on the aircraft's variant, however.
The helicopter can be crafted in five specific variations. There is a VIP variant to fly senior leaders around; a MEDEVAC variant to conduct medical missions; a training-specific modification; a Guard-specific aircraft for homeland security; and a standard-package aircraft used for a variety of missions.
After 40,000 hours of flight time, with 420 trained pilots, the feedback from operators is positive, Thurgood said. Pilots like the modern digital cockpit, the stability, the navigation system and the seating position, and some of the models are equipped with air conditioning.
All Lakota pilots are provided with Federal Aviation Administration training in Granbury, Texas, and the impact the helicopter has on the country's economy is an additional advantage.
"The aircraft production has shifted from Germany to America," Thurgood said. "That's very important economically to our nation, it's very important to our jobs and it's very important to our states."
The Army has taken steps to ensure a smooth fielding process, an extensive mission set and encouraging feedback. These measures have led to a successful implementation of the Lakota helicopter with support from senior leaders.
The process has been successful because the Army is tied directly to users, forming a relationship with every unit using the helicopter. Leadership has worked hard to acquire funding leading to an accelerated program. And this is an instance where the Army has taken advantage of the marketplace instead of tasking industry with building a specific aircraft, Thurgood said.
These factors have led to rapid acquisition, and the fielding process isn't slowing down. The Army is set to field the Lakota at Aberdeen Proving Ground and for National Guard units in Yakima, Wash., and Virginia for the remainder of the year.
Sixty-two Lakota helicopters will be sent to 12 different sites next year.

Samsung's Series 9 is a gorgeously thin piece of equipment, which would be great for any traveller looking for something light, thin and portable. If the MacBook Air is out of the question due to OS X, this may be your next port of call — just be prepared to pay a bit more.
Typical price: $2,499.00
From under $500 to more than $1,500, we've picked our favorite back-to-school laptops for 2011.
Apple's new MacBook Air leapfrogs from old Intel Core 2 Duo silicon to a fresh Sandy Bridge chip. That's a leap of two generations, and it shows in the performance.
Samsung's refreshed 11.6-inch ultraportable offers up some stiff competition for Apple's similarly configured MacBook Air.
The MacBook rumor of the day is intriguing: a black MacBook as part of the upcoming Intel Sandy Bridge chip refresh.
Lenovo's new ThinkPad X1 looks impressive, but how does it stack up against the Samsung Series 9, 13-inch MacBook Air, and Toshiba Portege R835?
Dell has released a video and photos of its upcoming 15.6-inch ultrathin laptop. The line of new laptops is designed in the spirit of the discontinued Adamo.
The $1,649 Samsung Series 9 NP900X3A certainly won't be for every wallet, but this light, well-featured, and striking 13-incher is the closest the Windows world will ever come to a MacBook Air. However, its higher-than-the-Air price will be hard to stomach.
Pricing not available
Apple is slated to update the MacBook Air this summer. How big a step up in performance can we expect? Here are some hints.
We've seen an influx of eye-catching, highly portable 13-inch laptops of late, so it's a perfect time to stack the Samsung Series 9 up against the 13-inch MacBook Air and the Toshiba Portege R835.

Friends of Mayflower Bocawina
Mayflower Bocawina National Park is co-managed by the Friends of Mayflower Bocawina. FOMFB is a community organization located in Silk Grass Village approximately 15 miles south of Dangriga in the Stann Creek District. The community group was formed in 1999 with the assistance of an American freelance community developer residing in Silk Grass. The group now boasts 69 members, which is the most considerable direct participation from the communities buffering the protected area. The organization holds group meetings every quarter, and also asks for volunteers to help with maintenance in the park.
Featured protected Area:
Mayflower Bocawina, designated a National Park in 2001, is located in Stann Creek District 14 miles south of Dangriga, and 4 miles off the Southern Highway. The Park contains 7000 acres of pristine lowland broadleaf forest, waterfalls and three archaeological sites, which have received significant attention under the Mayflower Archaeological Project. The park has miles of trails leading through jungle on the way to the waterfalls, Maya ruins and other natural features.The majority of the forest of Mayflower Bocawina National Park is Tropical evergreen seasonal broad-leaved lowland hill forest. Several threatened species have been recorded in the area, including the endangered Yucatan black howler monkey, spider monkey and Baird's tapir and the sabrinus and Sanderson's rain frogs. A number of vulnerable species also occur here including the Spanish cedar and mahogany, great curassow, crested guan and keel-billed motmot. Other species of note include the ocellated turkey and the water opossum.The National Park designation supports the protection of the watersheds, and allows for low-impact non-extractive activities such as education, tourism and research activities.
Park Information:
On the hike up Bocawina Hill visitors will discover the Upper and Lower Bocawina Falls. A hike to the upper falls can be rewarded with a swim in a cool pool at the base of a 50ft waterfall. For the most adventurous traveler, a hike up to antelope falls reveals a 100 ft water fall with an incredible view from the bluff all the way to the sea. The park also boasts several un-excavated Mayan mounds.

Brian Hamacher reports for NBC Miami:
The South Florida man whose prayer for Osama bin Laden caused a holy mess at mass this past Sunday is speaking out to defend the bizarre benediction.
Henry Borga paid $10 to put bin Laden's name on the prayer list at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church in West Palm Beach over the weekend, according to WPTV. The name appeared with four others under the mass intentions section in the church's pamphlet, with a cross next to bin Laden's name.
While putting the name on the list has caused quite a hubbub, Borga, who said he also prayed for the victims of 9/11, said it was about mercy. "He was a very bad man but he deserved to be punished in life, not by losing his life," Borga said. "He needs forgiveness and compassion from God."

Images from the home of Jacqueline and Richard Beeson on October 8, 2012 in Seymour, Missouri. (David Welker/ For the News-Leader) / David Welker/ For the News-Leader
Suggest a home
If a friends home, your design clients home (or yours!) is worth profiling, send names, address, phone number and brief description to Sony Hocklander at email@example.com. Homes for sale are not eligible.
See more photos of this home and others at OzarkSpaces.com
From a distance, Jacqueline and Richard Beesons home is the picture of tranquility. Perched on a ridge overlooking the rolling hills near Seymour, the 3-year-old custom-built home has charm and warmth.
But as one draws closer, a somewhat different dimension emerges.
Parked near the driveway is a large pumpkin carriage drawn by a black horse with glowing red eyes. Dracula sits perched on a nearby coffin nestled among grave markers. Black torches light the path to the front door. Guests are greeted with spooky sounds of creaking doors and distant wails. And thats before stepping foot inside.
This, Jacqueline explains, is normal for her. While she was growing up, her mother ran a two-story bed and breakfast. Each year, she would pull out all of the stops to decorate for Halloween.
My mom always made Halloween a big thing, and Ive always had really good memories, Jacqueline says.
Its gotten real bad a little out of hand, she finishes with a laugh.
Inside the Beesons home, which they share with 17-year-old son McCoy Boring, various vignettes unfold. In the formal dining room sits a medical cabinet filled with objects and ingredients that might be found in a witchs cupboard. A full-sized animated witch stands sentry beside it, stirring her cauldron.
The dining room table features, among other things, a platter with a severed head. In the office, a skeleton with a cigarette holds court on a Victorian-era couch.
Jacqueline says she starts decorating around Sept. 15 each year. Its when it starts to cool off, she starts getting the urge, Richard says.
My goal is, I want to get it all decorated by the first of October so I can enjoy it, Jacqueline says.
Friends and family who attend the Beesons annual Halloween party also get a chance to enjoy the spooky spectacle.
Beneath the holiday decor, however, is evidence that the Beesons spent a great deal of time planning, finishing and decorating their home, which they had built to suit their personal tastes. Richard says his wifes ability to envision the house and what each room would look like was crucial to creating their home which turned out quite different from the basic plan they tweaked and revised.
After several late nights and revisions, we were happy with what we had, and the final plans in no way resembled what we started with, he says. I accredit that to her ability to see the finished product. ... she is an amazing woman.
The house is filled with antiques from Jacquelines mothers bed and breakfast, along with other antiques theyve picked up along the way. One of their favorite places to go is Eureka Springs, Ark., where they bought, among other things, stained glass windows that are high on the walls of their main living area.
We bought them knowing full well we were going to incorporate them in the house, Richard says.
Weve tried to make this our little Eureka Springs, Jacqueline says.
While the Beesons hired a builder to do the majority of the work, they did the finish work themselves, including painting and installing trim and doors. Richard most recently completed a deck that runs nearly the length of the back of the house.
The Beesons are settled in their home, but they say there are still plenty of projects waiting for them, including in the finished basement.
But the important thing for this year was completed by Oct. 1: The Halloween decor.
Its just a source of fun, Richard says. People seem to enjoy it, and if they enjoy it, we enjoy doing it.

Electronic paper could put blogs on Cheerios
Stephen Baker
Wouldn't it be a whole lot more convenient to be reading this on the back of a cereal box? There's an interesting piece in Wired (ex memeorandum) on new electronic paper at Siemens that's so cheap that packaged goods could be wrapped in flashing ads within two years.
What's that mean? My experience with predictions says they come later, but often more powerful, than promised. So... in five years, cereal boxes could carry store advertising that not only flashes, but also offers a different set of advertisements for the home. After all, we've already bought that cereal, and that precious ad space is just sitting there on the breakfast table, immune from the TiVo zapper.
I guess I'm fantasizing to think that that space would carry blogs or other editorial content. But people do like to read cereal boxes, don't they?

Too many people to wear someone else's cast off clothes would be distasteful, and many may say "never in a million years". BUT times are a changing, most folk are on a tight budget and really decent, quality clothes cost the earth, so buying clothes second hand makes real economic sense.
Sure there are charity and thrift shops around most street corner but the quantity and quality of goods on offer is often limited and time consuming.

On Heaven and Earth is an expansive dialogue between the then Jorge Bergoglio (now Pope Francis) and Abraham Skorka, a Rabbi and biophysicist, sharing thoughts on religion, reason, and the challenges of the 21st Century.
On Heaven and Earth: Pope Francis on Faith, Family, and the Church in the Twenty-First Century by Jorge Mario Bergoglio and Abraham Skorka (Random House)
- Review by John L. Allen Jr
The book first appeared in Spanish in 2010, and it's invaluable as a guide to the thinking of the Pope across a wide range of issues - from capitalism and globalization to interreligious dialogue and feminism, even matters of leadership style.
'The bad leader is the one who is self-assured and stubborn,' the Pope writes at one point. 'One of the characteristics of a bad leader is to be excessively normative because of his self-assurance.'
Though he doesn't exactly come off as a laugh riot, Francis even serves up a couple of quips. Discussing a certain strain of feminism that he believes promotes a masculine model of gender conflict, he refers to it tongue-in-cheek as 'chauvinism with skirts.'
One caution is in order: It's not always possible to draw a straight line between views expressed prior to election to the papacy, and what someone will do once they're actually in the job.
That said, for those wondering where Francis will come down on any number of issues - priestly celibacy, end-of-life care, refusal of communion to Catholic politicians who break with Church teaching, and so on - On Heaven and Earth is the best early guide out there.
Overall, the impression of Pope Francis that emerges is of a moderate realist. He comes off as committed to classic Christian orthodoxy (clearly defending the idea of the Devil as a personal force of evil, for instance), always expressed in balanced fashion, and with a special emphasis on the poor and those at the margins of society.
'Religious truth does not change, but it does develop and grow,' Francis writes. 'It is like with the human being. We are the same as a baby and in old age, but in the middle there is a whole journey.'
