FC AFC Prime Time Tebow x FC Star's Dixie Pearl Two premium field dogs with competition records to back them up and both hailing from strong lineages of proven field dogs, many of which are National Champions and/or Hall of Famers.
Waiting list building.
Please see website for full details on litter including parents photos, pedigrees, etc. WWW.CARTERBRITTANYKENNELS.COM
This planned breeding will be out of FC/AFC Prime Time Tebow (Tebow) and whelped by FC Star's Dixie Pearl (Pearl). The puppies will be registered through AKC (American Kennel Club) and can also be dually registered through American Field FDSB. Orange and white puppies as well as liver and white puppies are expected with some of the puppies possibly displaying roan patterns while others will have clear patterns. Both parents are certified free of hip displaysia. All puppies regardless of gender are $950 each.
The sire of this litter, FC AFC Prime Time Tebow, is owned and privately campaigned in AKC Field Trial events by licenced, practicing equine veterinarian Dr. Kent Cantrell. Having obtained the prestige of accomplishing his AKC Field Champion title as well as his AKC Amateur Field Champion title with very minimal campaigning at a very early age of three, Tebow has more than proven himself in the field and is gaining attention as one of the south's "feared" dogs in AKC gun dog competitions as he is consistently in the ribbons. FC AFC Prime Time Tebow is also a dog that has caught our attention given his extreme field talent and ability to be nationally competitive. The only thing that we don't like about him is the fact that we don't own him! Tebow is a hard hunting, no-nonsense dog with a lot of style who is quick and snappy with plenty of range and stamina which is characteristic of a premium gun dog/shooting dog. He also has a fantastic nose on him giving him the ability to locate birds that lesser dogs blow by without even a whiff of scent. Tebow is a smart, easy handling dog only requiring minimal command during field work. He is also an obedient dog who aims to please and has kind disposition that makes him a wonderful pet as well when he isn't in the field. Having qualified for both the 2013 National Open Gun Dog Championship and the National Amateur Gun Dog Championship, we are anticipating his performance against the nation's top shooting dogs. Tebow is sired by 6x National Shoot To Retrieve (NSTRA) champion Beeline Bullet's Oxidation who was also the 2010 NSTRA Grand National Champion. Tebow's dam, Beeline's Miss Abigail, is sired by NSTRA legend and Brittany Hall of Famer Nolan's Last Bullet and whelped by Keith's Renegade Ginger. This pair were producers of some of the best dogs ever sired by Nolan's Last Bullet which include Top NSTRA competitors Split's Creek Medicine Man ("Doc") owned by Gary Thompson and Beeline Bullet's Bravado (Brave) owned by Nolan Huffman, and nationally competitive AKC field trialers which include our own AFC Bullet's Renegade Miss Megan and FC AFC Brook's Little Pete who was in the top 5 gun dogs in the nation in 2008. Keith's Renegade Ginger was sired by Brittany Hall of Fame inductee and AKC Brittany National All Age Champion NAFC/DC/AFC Renegade's Kansas Kid.
The mother of the litter, FC Star's Dixie Pearl, has also earned the well respected AKC title Field Champion through her field career. Now retired, Pearl was another one of the south's big running shooting dogs who could stand up to the heat of competition and bring home the ribbons. Pearl is a level headed, wide ranging gun dog/shooting dog with an incredible amount of bird drive and hunting instinct who has multiple juvenile placements and 25 adult field trial placements which equates to her being in the ribbons at nearly every trial she attended. Pearl is a dog who is a true bird dog and has a nose that gives her the ability to find birds that other dogs don't even know are there. She is athletic in nature and composes herself nicely on birds with a perfect 10 o'clock tail and head held high. Pearl has proven herself a shining star in competitions which was expected given her lineage. FC Star's Dixie Pearl's sire is FC AFC Keystone's White Label who obtained both his AKC field championship (FC) title as well as his amateur field championship (AFC) title and hails from the well known FC/AFC Chubasco II lineage with a hint of 1994 National All Age Champion Brittany hall of famer NFC/FC/AFC Microdot HOF thrown into the mix. Pearl's sire, FC AFC Keystone's White Lable is also among an elite few dogs who have ever sired a national champion by having sired Pearl's half brother 2011 Brittany National Open All Age Champion NFC FC AFC Piney Run Art. Pearl's grandfather, FC AFC Chabasco II, was a big running All Age dog with lots of potential who had 90 field placements to his name as well as an American Field Championship title and two runner up American Field Championship titles. FC AFC Chabasco II is listed in the pedigree of many of today's field champion and amateur field champion titled dogs. Pearl's mother's side is also an inspiring mix of dogs who earned National titles or have been inducted into the Hall of Fame and have served as the base of many of today's champions and National champions. Pearl is grandfathered by the 1997 National Amateur All-Age Champion NAFC FC AFC Walker's Gunner who has sired two national champions which include two time National Gun Dog Champion NGDC NAGDC FC AFC Peter Gunn and National Gun Dog Champion NGDC FC Last Dixie Chick. NAFC FC AFC Walker's Gunner is a full littermate brother to the 2002 National Amateur Field Champion NAFC FC AFC Pistol Pack'N Walker. Pearl's Great-Grandfather is 1989 National All Age Champion NFC FC AFC Rimarda's Gambler who's pedigree includes Hall Of Famer FC AFC Rimarda's Trademark,1983 National All Age Champion Hall of Famer Bean's Blaze, Hall of Famer DC Scipio's Little Chick, 1979 National Amateur All Age Champion NAFC FC AFC The Real Thing, and Hall of Famer AFC Reed's Bo-Nine Max to name a few.
Through this breeding we are taking two exceptional quality AKC titled field dogs (Tebow and Pearl) and through their litter we will be mingling and bringing back some of brittany history's most respected competition dogs, premium producers and nationally acclaimed legends. These puppies are expected to be strong, healthy bird dogs with intense desire and style, highly intelligent with an eagerness to learn with happy, biddable temperaments that will make them easy and enjoyable to live with at home. Orange and white puppies as well as liver and white puppies will be available. We prefer that our puppies above all are part of the family and we strive to find the right match for each puppy.

European Parliament gives support to .eu domain
The European Parliament has adopted a draft law to introduce a top level .eu domain for the European Union.
This Article Covers
Political approval from the European Parliament comes after lengthy internal debate on the issue.
The European Commission welcomed the Parliament's support, and said it expected the Council of Ministers to give its support to the move "very soon".
Once the Council of Minsters has signed up to the initiative, the Commission will be able to begin the procedure of choosing a private-sector, non-profit organisation to operate the .eu registry, which will administer the registration of all .eu domain names.
Erkki Liikanen, Commissioner for Enterprise and the Information Society, said that while this new law will provide the basis for the new domain name, "some other measures of public interest still need to be agreed, such as a policy for the extrajudicial settlement of disputes".
Liikanen said, with the support of member states, the .eu domain name "could be available by the end of the year."

By gathering together scientists and physicians who share a drive to answer questions about the same diseases, research becomes more powerful, collaborations grow stronger and larger-scale projects become possible. Adding a clinical care dimension to a center or institute already focused on one disease gives patients access to the experts who work at the frontiers of the field.
The ACT Center for Tobacco Treatment Education and Research has been helping Mississippians quit tobacco since 1999. Along with direct treatment of patients, training and community outreach, the center's wide variety of research includes clinical trials of promising drugs and basic-science investigations into the genetics of nicotine dependence. Genetics research is helping to identify which medications work best for certain individuals and for increasing understanding of the complexities of nicotine addiction.
The Cancer Institute combines basic science research, clinical trials of novel drugs and therapies and cutting-edge patient care. The institute is comprised of oncologists, radiologists, biochemists, microbiologists, pathologists and many other professionals. Many of the same doctors serving patients are the same physician-scientists engaging in oncology research. They study cancer genetics, seek to identify biomarkers for certain cancers and create next-generation drugs. The institute's overall goal is to improve the prevention and treatment of cancer.
In an effort to integrate the various cardiovascular and renal research programs at UMMC, the Cardiovascular-Renal Research Center (CRRC) was established. With a long history of discovery, the center's wide-ranging investigations, led by Dr. Joey Granger, target the functions, interconnections and prevention of hypertension, heart, vascular and kidney diseases. The center is funded by Cardiovascular Dynamics and their Control, a 41-year program project grant from the National Institutes of Health, and several other NIH and American Heart Association grants.
The Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities works to integrate ethical decision making into the Medical Center's three missions: education, health care and research. The idea is to make ethics seamless, as it is in life, when nearly every activity can be viewed through a prism of right and wrong behavior. Incorporating ethics into health-care training and practice is relatively straightforward but research offers many paths.
UMMC has established the Center for Developmental Disorders Research (CDDR) to connect clinical and basic science in translational research on the causes, early identification, and long-term repercussions of abnormal development. The ultimate goal is to find new treatments or cures for these developmental disorders. The teams of researchers and clinicians working together for a better future under CDDR seeks to provide innovative research in areas such as identifying biomarkers in very and extremely pre-term and/or low birth weight babies (5.5 pounds or less); looking at the impact of parental genetics, health, and environment in early development; and exploring links between low birth weight and other developmental disorders, such as autism and other chronic diseases, including cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.
The Center for Informatics and Analytics (CIA) is a comprehensive center that provides services to advance the missions of the University of Mississippi Medical Center. The center's overarching goals focus on six areas: Design and leverage an infrastructure that supports clinical intelligence, research informatics, and education/population health informatics; Centralize and share data; Enhance and apply analytics to improve outcomes; Facilitate transformation of care delivery through collaborations that result in better care and lower cost; Increase research collaboration and productivity to remain competitive; and support existing educational programs while developing new educational opportunities.
The Center for Psychiatric Neuroscience (CPN) tackles the neurobiology behind diseases and disorders such as depression and alcoholism. By relying on multidisciplinary teams - a mix of investigators and clinicians specializing in different areas - investigators study sleep disorders, major depression disorders and substance abuse work to draw lines between basic neurobiology and clinical psychiatry. The CPN provides a diverse and nationally competitive research environment highly conducive to productive and modern research in psychiatric neuroscience.
The Center for Sialendoscopy and Salivary Gland Disorders was established to provide patient care, education and research of diseases related to the salivary gland. The center's team, which consists of four surgeons with subspecialty training in the diagnosis and treatment of salivary gland diseases, offers the less invasive sialendoscopy as well as the more traditional surgical techniques. They also participate in research and the training of other physicians.
In over half of Mississippi counties, patients must drive more than 40 minutes to receive specialty health care. Without access to quality care, our state is falling short on national health standards. The Center for Telehealth at the University of Mississippi Medical Center is working to improve the availability of medical services in our state. Using online video technology, UMMC provides remote medical care, health education and public health services through telehealth. The Center for Telehealth offers telemedicine, wellness care, disaster response, workforce development, business development, research and education to people in all parts of our state.
The Center of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics provides the latest in biostatistical and information science expertise to a wide range of clients at UMMC and beyond. We collaborate with biomedical researchers at UMMC and other academic health centers, pharmaceutical companies, medical research organizations, managed care providers, non-profit organizations and government agencies. We provide a wide range of services, education and guidance.
Our mission at the Mississippi Children's Cancer Center is to improve children's health through scientific discoveries attainable by conducting cutting edge research and translating the discoveries into clinical care. The creation of our multidisciplinary collaborative research team was motivated by the realization that team science and completely new strategies are needed if we are to develop novel curative therapies and early interventions for all childhood cancers. Our research team has deep expertise in the most lethal pediatric cancers, and are combining their experience and commitment to a sustained effort to improve cure rates.
The UMMC Comprehensive Epilepsy Center is dedicated to the care of those with epilepsy. The center offers state-of-the-art medical and surgical treatment of seizures/ epilepsy in adults and children. The center's goal is to help patients gain control of seizures and optimize their quality of life. Patients benefit from the intervention of an experienced multidisciplinary team that includes neurologists, neurosurgeons, neurophysiologist, neuroradiologists, EEG technologists, clinical nurse specialists, neuropsychologists and psychiatrists.
The MIND Center seeks to uncover the causes and risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Founded in 2010, the center's inaugural study is a large NIH-funded project that includes collaboration with scientists at top universities in the U.S. and that analyzes how brains age. By acquiring new health data on the nearly 16,000 members of the ARIC Study and combining it with data collected during ARIC's 20-year-plus history, center director Dr. Thomas Mosley and his fellow investigators are opening a unique window into physiological changes beginning in middle age that can culminate in Alzheimer's later in life.
Established in 2014, the Myrlie Evers-Williams Institute for the Elimination of Health Disparities, serves as the research arm of the Office of Population Health at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Through a family-centered approach, the Evers-Williams Institute seeks to decrease health disparities through, education, research, research training, and community-based programs and services.
The University Comprehensive Stroke Center focuses on research, education and clinical care for stroke, the leading cause of disability in the United States. Mississippi lies in the "Stroke Belt," a region of the country with the highest death rate due to stroke. The center's multidisciplinary team fills stroke-specific needs, including education of stroke providers and research on reducing disparities in stroke outcomes.
The Women's Health Research Center was created in 2009 with the realization that improvement of women's health represents a major unmet health-care need for Mississippi and that research devoted to women's health would form the cornerstone of efforts to meet these needs. Led by Dr. Jane Reckelhoff, the center fosters basic and clinical research into sex-based differences in diseases and health issues specific to women. It also promotes education of basic and clinical researchers, physicians, medical students and the general public in the area of women's health.

After witnessing the end of a fire in the old neighborhood and being on the news this is what happened next...
On the way home a guy comes up to them and says "yooze don't live here no more, don't wanna see ya agin". My younger boy being the fighter he is said
"there is only one of you". Which produced five more hiding behind a van. Luckily the brother of their best friend drives up and sees what is happening. He gets out of the car and the bad guys start to scatter. Their friends brother is in a real gang and all. So most of the wanna be's run when they see him. The friends brother stops the the other guys from running and has them pick one of the kids about the same size as my 13 year old. And tells them there will be a fair one-on-one fight. Accroding to my oldest son the other boy was 15. As the story goes they beat on each other for about 15 minutes and quit. The friends brother told them he had to do it that way so he wouldn't lose any cred.
This explains a lot. Most of the kids in neighborhood won't mess with my oldest son. The reason-since his younger brother can fight so well then he can too. Later that night I hear my 13 year old on the phone talking about he 45-1-1 now. He was saying that he had his first tie today. I inquired but he wouldn't tell me what he was talking about. After pushing it he finally told me about the fight earlier that day and that he has been almost 50 street fights. I found out my oldest son and his friends have been finding fights for my younger boy to get into for about 3 years now. The one lose was to girl he didn't want to hit her back after she hit him, so he ran. He counts that as a lose.
The boys tried to explain their way out of it say that he never picked on or bullied any one. They said every fight the other kid was older and/or bigger. I guess I'm proud of my son for his outstanding record in fights so I only grounded the two of them for the first month of summer break. Too harsh or not enough?

Crash.Net F1 News
Costa leaves Ferrari, Fry says team has 'understood its problems'
21 July 2011
Having stepped down from his position as technical director just under two months ago, Aldo Costa has now left Ferrari altogether, the team has confirmed, as Pat Fry asserts that on the eve of this weekend's German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring, the
has 'understood its problems' and is at last 'working in the right direction'.
Off the back of a crushingly disappointing start to the F1 2011 World Championship campaign that all-but torpedoed Fernando Alonso's title chances in his second season at Maranello, it was announced back in May that Costa – a stalwart there since 1995 – would relinquish his role with immediate effect to 'take on new responsibilities within the company'. The team has now confirmed that by mutual consent, the Italian's contract has been terminated and he is henceforth no longer employed by Ferrari at all.
Ironically, Costa's departure comes just as the Prancing Horse looks finally to be getting on top of its troubles this year, with Alonso's unexpected but thoroughly well-deserved Silverstone triumph last time out in the British Grand Prix the catalyst for a much-needed dose of momentum.
Chassis director Fry is hopeful of being able to now build further upon that, with the Englishman encouraged by recent progress and buoyed by the fact that many more developments remain in the pipeline for the fast-improving F150° Italia – meaning there is plenty more potential still to be extracted from it.
"The main satisfaction was that it was great to get a victory at Silverstone after all the hard work of the past four months trying to close the gap," confessed the former McLaren man. "It was gratifying to see that it had paid off – [but] it does not change our approach for the next few races.
"What that win does is show that we have understood our problems and that we are working in the right direction. We will continue to develop the car as quickly as we can, and each step we make improves our understanding, which is important as it also impacts on work for next year's car. We have a few more updates coming for the Nürburgring, and then one further update for Hungary the following week. We are keeping the pressure on to develop as much as we can before the summer break.
"In a way, [the Nürburgring] can be compared to Silverstone, in that it has long-duration corners, even if they are more medium-speed than high-speed. Trying to find a balance through those corners is a little bit more difficult, as it suits our car less than the brake-turn-accelerate type of circuit like Canada and Valencia.
"In terms of tyres, we will have the medium and soft again – a sensible choice for this track, and one that suits our car well. However, the last race showed that we are making progress in adapting the car to all tyre types. Earlier in the year – in Barcelona, for example – we struggled on the hard tyre, but we have made improvements and our qualifying pace on hard tyres at Silverstone was a match for others.
"We cannot be certain until we have run the cars on-track, but at the Nürburgring, the DRS zone involves following someone closely through the high-speed corner onto the back straight, which will be a little bit of a challenge for drivers to get within the regulatory one second-gap to the car ahead before they are allowed to activate the system. This means the degree of difficulty should be similar to Silverstone, rather than somewhere like Canada or Valencia."

Jake Trotter (4:00 PM)
We'll get rolling in a sec. Keep sending in those questions.
Jeremy F (Norman)
Jake, do you think that a Bell winning the starting job - or, even more so, one of the underclassmen - could spark quarterback transfers and/or act as a deterrent to incoming quarterbacks such as Hansen?
Jake Trotter (4:04 PM)
Always like to get the ball rolling with a half-glass empty question... Anywhere (A&M, too) Hansen goes he's going to face competition. Even if Knight won the job, Hansen could come in, redshirt, and still have two years. And if someone does transfer, it won't be the end of the world... Drew Allen is transferring, and I think OU will survive next season. That's why you add a QB to every class.
Brad (Las Vegas)
OU women have a chance to win the big 12 next year?
Jake Trotter (4:04 PM)
Honestly don't know. Griner is gone. So at least there's a chance.
Haley (Norman)
How impressed were you with the Lady Sooners this season?
Jake Trotter (4:05 PM)
Very impressed.
Soonerpeace (Norman)
jake based on reports from various people and fansites it appears the defense is worrisome as the offense sounds like they are shredding them. My question is what gives? They were headed to a 3-4 and now they aren't. They are playing a "knockem back style" according to Grissom. Sounds to me like they ate as confused as the players.
Jake Trotter (4:07 PM)
Well, I can tell you that the defense did in fact get shredded on Friday during a major scrimmage. I don't know why anyone would be expecting anything else. I mean, the defense got shredded last season, too. And it lost several of its best players. Not saying the defense can't swim out of mediocrity by the start of next season, and even be great down the line, too... but there's a long way to go for that to happen.
Cale (Norman)
what do you think of M'Baye going pro
Jake Trotter (4:07 PM)
Surprising, but he wants to take care of his family. Can't blame him for that, though he'll probably be taking care of them playing in Europe.
Garrett (Tulsa)
If Bell wins the starting job, who do you think will be the back up? Knight or Thompson?
Jake Trotter (4:08 PM)
My money would be on Knight, but Thompson has come a long way in the last year.
Isaac (Waynesville Mo)
What position are we in for KD Cannon
Jake Trotter (4:09 PM)
Cannon is being recruited by everyone, but OU seems to be in good a shape as anyone else.
Amayetli (D.C.)
We all know what Shepard and Saunders can do, and we have heard about Bester and Neal during this offseason. But what happened to Trey and some of the other wideouts? Especially the young guys we have.
Jake Trotter (4:10 PM)
I'm still bullish on Metoyer. The talent is there. Sometimes it takes a little longer for the switch to flip. But once it does, Metoyer is going to be a very good WR in this league.
Soonerfandave84 (OK)
Jake, any word on how the SS position is going? Heard positives about corner and FS but not much on SS.
Jake Trotter (4:11 PM)
They have Quentin Hayes working back there, who would have been the third safety last year had he not been suspended for the entire year during the offseason. The guy who is starting to generate some buzz at SS is Ahmad Thomas. He can hit, and has impressed the defensive staff with his maturity in picking up the system.
Brad (Las Vegas)
OU mens basketball get back to the tourny next year?
Jake Trotter (4:12 PM)
I think so, but the chance is there for the Sooners to take a step back. Osby was such a big part of this team, as evidenced by the first-round tourney loss when no one did anything except Osby. The three frosh really have to elevate their games for OU to take a step forward instead.
Jeremy F (Norman)
Jake, how do you see the starting linebacking core shaping up?
Jake Trotter (4:14 PM)
Right now, it's Frank Shannon in the middle, Corey Nelson at weakside, and Aaron Franklin backing up both. Franklin played weakside last year, and is working in the middle this spring, so that he can come in at either position. Eric Striker is a little behind the three, but he might be able to help out down the line.
Isaac (Waynesville Mo)
Which would u rather date Alicia Keys or Rihanna
Jake Trotter (4:14 PM)
BB (Memphis)
Six losses in the last two years. Are more pay raises for the assistant coaches justified?
Jake Trotter (4:16 PM)
Well, let's discount what the new coaches are making, because they had to pay that to get them, especially Jerry Montgomery. Most of the raises weren't crazy. But Josh Heupel going up to $550K with a 3-year deal is definitely interesting. Guessing when Louisiana Tech called, Heupel told OU he needed more cash to stay -- and OU ponied up.
Kris (Des Moines)
Best TV show going right now is________
Jake Trotter (4:17 PM)
I'm catching up on The Walking Dead (just started season 3) and really enjoying it (please don't tell me what happened in the season finale last night!!)
Darren (Norman)
What chance does SoonerDave25 have to get on the field, should he try to switch to Defense, LB maybe?
Jake Trotter (4:19 PM)
On our forum, someone brought up the comparison of Chris Brown, and I think it fits. Now, Brown was a fabulous back by his senior year, and that's not what I'm saying. But Brown was completely overlooked, and when he got his chance, he produced. Smith could have the same career trajectory. Alex Ross is getting all the pub. But Smith definitely has tools to work with, and has the work ethic and attitude you want. Keep an eye on him.
Kris (Des Moines)
Sorry Jake, Justified is the corrected answer...Justified...Thanks for playing..
Isaac (Waynesville Mo)
@Kris Duck Dynasty fo sho
Clint (Texas)
Where do you see OU basketball ranking in the standings next season?
Jake Trotter (4:20 PM)
The Big 12 is wide open. Kansas loses all five starters, OSU probably is going to lose Smart, K-State loses McGruder, and I think Iowa State has to replace some guys. OU could easily post a top four finish in the league, if the three frosh take the next step.
Jeremy F (Norman)
So with the Big 12 eliminated from both tournaments...Mad Men season premiere on Sunday, am I right?
Jake Trotter (4:20 PM)
Don't watch it, so don't know.
mike (new york)
how well does the ou secondary stack up against big 12 opponents
Jake Trotter (4:22 PM)
The secondary was very good last year, even though the overall defense was not. With Colvin back, at least you know you have a lockdown corner, which a lot of teams don't. OSU and Texas have athletes could be better in the secondary, but TCU would probably get my vote as No. 1 with Verrett and others.
Soonerfan Forever (Ohio)
Oline stay healthy this year? Opinion on Hollis? given the chance you've seen him personally.
Jake Trotter (4:24 PM)
I wish I could say yes, but this o-line can't guy any luck, losing two guys already this spring in Ikard and Evans. Given Shead's injury history, I have a hard time believing that it will. Best to build up some depth this spring and have guys like Ty Darlington ready to go. Chances are, you'll probably need them.
Tony A. (Miami Beach, FL)
What's the deal with Quincy Russel Jake?
Jake Trotter (4:25 PM)
Good question. If I had to bet, I think he still ends up in Norman. But with JUCOs, I believe it when I see them physically on campus, and Russell is not on campus yet.
Curious Fan (Here)
Stoops called out Corey Nelson as the best player on his defense two years ago. Was that just lip service or is Nelson, when used "correctly" truly one of our best defensive players? OU fans haven't ever really seen Nelson live up to that billing in any way. Not even flashes of brilliance, just mediocrity from Nelson.
Jake Trotter (4:26 PM)
I don't think it was lip service. I think Nelson has been grossly misused the last two years. He would have been an upgrade over a hobbled Travis Lewis two years ago, and OU would have done better with him on the field over whatever that was they tried late last season. OU has no chance to have a good defense next season if Nelson is not a standout. I think the staff realizes that. He has a chance to be one of the best players... assuming that he's given a chance.
Michael (Willow Park)
Can the basketball team really be better next year and keep improving with the losses of both Osby and M'baye?
Jake Trotter (4:28 PM)
It can, but it's going to take an instant impact from Ryan Spangler, and the three frosh have to elevate their games. If those things happen, that goal is attainable. If not, OU figures to take a step back next season, because Osby did a lot of this club, and to a lesser degree, M'Baye.
Jeremy F (Norman)
With the recent emergence of Ahmad Thomas in spring practices, do you think that there's a possibility of the Fresno safeties coming in receiving redshirts in favor of Thomas and Lynn in the safety slots?
Jake Trotter (4:29 PM)
No, I think Hatari Byrd plays, even if it's just as a backup and on special teams. Sooners don't have the luxury defensively right now to redshirt guys that can play, and Byrd -- from everything I've seen -- can play.
Curious Fan (Here)
How worried should OU fans be about Gabe Lynn being listed as a defensive starter? Is there a chance we see Ahmad Thomas and Hatari Byrd manning the safety spots by mid-season?
Jake Trotter (4:30 PM)
He was a starter last year, so you shouldn't be surprised... There's a chance Thomas and Byrd are both starting by October. That would not stun me. We'll see.
Michael (Long Beach, CA)
I probably missed this, but Gary Simon officially off the team?
Jake Trotter (4:30 PM)
You did miss that.
jay (oklahoma)
Prediction on metoyer's stat line for 2013?
Jake Trotter (4:31 PM)
30 catches, 450 yards, 3 TDs? This team is going to pass less, too, I think.
Benjamin (Washington, DC)
Chances Texas smashmo...I mean up-temp wins the Big 12 next year? *snicker*
Jake Trotter (4:32 PM)
Identity crises central over in Austin, right?
Michael (Long Beach, CA)
Much like a QB going to a guru to improve mechanics, any chance Lynn can be sent to a tackling guru?
Jake Trotter (4:32 PM)
The negativity oozes....
Keith (Seattle, WA)
Do you find it odd/perplexing that Josh Heupel has ignored the TE given the enormous amount of success OU has enjoyed at the position the past 10+ years, which includes his title run?
Jake Trotter (4:34 PM)
Yes and no. Yes in 2011. James Hanna and Trent Ratterree (and for awhile Austin Haywood) provided a pretty formidable TE rotation. I mean, Hanna is playing in the NFL. No in 2012. They didn't have anyone who could really play, and the offense was better with the 4 WRs on the field anyway. This year will be closer to 2011, so it will be interesting to see how much the TEs are used. But McNamara/Grant have a chance to provide a nice combo TE package.
B. Bell (Norman)
What are the chances that OU actually has more rushes than passes next year?
Jake Trotter (4:34 PM)
Pretty slim. Don't think they run THAT much.
Dianna Ross (Dollywood)
With all the hype about incoming freshmen i think people get a little too excited in talking about Thomas and Byrd. Hayes and Lynn will start all season with the possible exception of Gabe Lynn being Gaby Lynn and then he gets replaced by a freshman. There is no way OU starts two true freshman safeties...agree or disagree?
Jake Trotter (4:36 PM)
Tony Jefferson started as a true freshman... so there's recent precedent for it. It's possible Lynn and Hayes start there all year, but I'm less than sure about that duo manning the most important positions in a Mike Stoops defense. There's possibility for a talented freshman (or freshmen) to emerge there.
Michael (Washington)
Could the troubles recruiting linemen eventually spread to the "skill players." It already has had its effects on the team's overall performance.And who beats whom in the World Series?
Jake Trotter (4:37 PM)
Reds fan, but going Nats over Tigers. There's no signs of the troubles spilling over to the skill positions. OU keeps dominating there, and I don't see that changing.
Isaac (Waynesville Mo)
Wheres Oklahoma at with Nathan Starks
Jake Trotter (Norman)
man you i should really answer isaacs question on Starks
Jake Trotter (4:37 PM)
Eh, maybe later...
Alicia Keys (Waiting for you )
I love you too Jake <3
Jake Trotter (4:38 PM)
I knew it!
jay (oklahoma)
dont be too surprised if they run more than they pass jake. Even the 2008 juggernaut ran 42 times a game and only passed 37.
Jake Trotter (4:39 PM)
You know what, good point. I didn't have time to go look at the numbers in the 3 seconds between questions. But now that I think about it, there's a good chance. Kevin Wilson was more prone to run than Heupel, but the personnel with this offense begs for a strong running game.
Benjamin (Washington, DC)
Let's go Nats!
Tony (Richmond, CA)
Do you think Akem and Whitely Jr sign with the Sooners?
Jake Trotter (4:39 PM)
Not as crazy about OU's chances with Akem. Strong OSU connection there, and the SEC is going to be knocking on his door. Sooners in better shape with Parker.
Rihanna (MAD)
I love the way you lie but if it starts to rain get ur own umbrella
Jake Trotter (4:40 PM)
Sorry -- Team Keys here
Isaac (Waynesville Mo)
Jake Trotter (4:42 PM)
Starks has a good rapport with Cale Gundy, and OU has developed strong ties with Bishop Gorman, Starks' school in Vegas. But everyone and their pup wants Starks. Gonna be a tough, but OU is in strong position here.
B. Bell (Norman)
Just for reference the last time OU had more running plays than passing for the year was in 2008.
Benjamin (Washington, DC)
Isaac. We're as close as anyone. Look at Gundy's track record. What do you think??
Jake Trotter (4:42 PM)
stuart (Oklahoma)
You said OU keeps dominating recruiting skill players??? Who??...maybe 3 skill players on nfl rosters now.
Jake Trotter (4:43 PM)
You're right, Ryan Broyles was so-so.
Clint (Texas)
What do you think if tubby smith at tech?
Jake Trotter (4:43 PM)
Seems like the best possible hire Tech could have made, right?
Kyle (Tulsa)
Ok, each to his own but these half-glass empty questions are getting annoying. I mean look at Texas, they've had it rough and everyone is complaining about going 20-6 in the last couple of years. "Well that's not Oklahoma football". Cool story bro, compared to other programs like Texas that has recently struggled, Ohio State who has compliance all over them, and USC who's been randomly in and out of the picture. OU could be A LOT worse off, /endrant.
Derrin (Plano, TX)
Is this TMZ or SoonerNation? :)
Jake Trotter (4:44 PM)
Remember when TMZ broke that Tiny Gallon story? So bizarre.
Michael (Long Beach, CA)
Sam Bradford was terrible.
Jake Trotter (4:45 PM)
And DeMarco Murray and Jermaine Gresham clearly can't cut it in the pros, either...
Not really a fan (Somewhere with a good defense)
How bad is the OU defense going to be? Our LBs basically suck, our corners are overrated, the safeties either suck or are new, and our DL may be the worst in the conference. What exactly is there to be hopeful about?
Jake Trotter (4:46 PM)
Haha, Post of the Day!!
Jack (Tallahassee)
Jake, should OU fans be disappointed if they don't see a heavy dose (or at least some dose) of zone read this year? Count me as one who would be.
Jake Trotter (4:46 PM)
Count me as two.
Brad (Las Vegas)
OU gonna get any transfers or recruits to replace M'Baye?
Jake Trotter (4:47 PM)
That would be a likely scenario, but I haven't heard of any names.
Soonerfandave84 (OK)
Jake, any word on how Jordan Wade has played this spring. With Russel up in the air, Wade is almost a guaranteed starter next fall.
Jake Trotter (4:47 PM)
He's coming along. Still a ways to go. But he's showing more and more. Watch out for Torrea Peterson. Hearing good things about him lately.
Michael (Long Beach, CA)
Oh, and who was that guy whow wore 28? Adrian something.
MMM (San Antonio Tx)
Why can't we pulled the high end Defensive Tackles??? Is OU somehow undesirable for this position??? I like what I've seen and heard from Coach Montgomery but he's already slipping with Quincy Russell...Anyways...one more question...How good in the OU vs ND game going to be to this year???
Jake Trotter (4:49 PM)
Can't evaluate Montgomery on Russell alone (and he still might and probably will get him to Norman). Russell had developed a relationship with Shipp, which is why apparently he's considering Arizona State. Judge Montgomery on the next class, not the guys Shipp recruited.
Justin (Chicago)
Should we worry about Texas and their shiny new up-tempo offense? Or can we expect to add to the current streak?
Jake Trotter (4:49 PM)
After reading about the Orange-White game, I would not be worried -- though it's not like the Sooners are fielding the '85 Bears defensively right now either.
Zach (Texas)
whos injured in spring football>
Jake Trotter (4:50 PM)
Gabe Ikard (broken hand) Tyler Evans (torn ACL, career probably over) Nila Kasitati (recovering from torn ACL) Aaron Ripkowski (wrist). Think that's it.
Keith (tulsa)
How much do you see veteran players like Neal and Clark getting good playing time next year for bball?
Jake Trotter (4:51 PM)
Both are probably going to have to play a lot. Lon mentioned Clark specifically when talking about replacing M'Baye.
Don (Crescent City)
With the talk all winter about OU going to the 3-4, has OU actually been showing that transition in spring practice? Do we have the quality and depth at LB to make it work?
Jake Trotter (4:51 PM)
They actually haven't practiced the 3-4 at all yet.
West (Cali)
Whats it looking like at DEnd besides Grim and chuke for upperclassman? anybody doing good?
Jake Trotter (4:53 PM)
Really like the potential of Onuoha and Tapper. Both guys have a chance to be really good. As for upperclassmen, Chuka is now playing DT, and Favors is working in there, too. I don't see Chaz Nelson ever making a big impact, but we'll see.
B. Bell (Norman)
Does having Chris Ault in town signify us running primarily from the pistol formations this season? Also, I am very excited hearing this news since I felt that we've never really run the pistol formations correctly.
Jake Trotter (4:54 PM)
I think it signifies that OU will be running the QB out of the Pistol. But OU has been running the Pistol almost exclusively since Josh Heupel took over as coordinator.
Donnie (Green Country)
Any word on our Juco DT? Do you think Quincy stays committed?
Jake Trotter (4:54 PM)
Nothing really. Sooners still expecting him, but we'll see if he ever gets here.
Tony (Richmond, CA)
How much will the commitment of Perine, and impressive offseason of young Ross, impact the chances OU signing Starks?
Jake Trotter (4:55 PM)
Many of the schools recruiting Starks have impressive backs.
Brad (Las Vegas)
Who leads the team in sacks this year?
Jake Trotter (4:55 PM)
Safety bet is Geneo Grissom, but if you were giving me money lines, there might be some value in Onuoha.
Clint (Texas )
What did you think of Baylor being upset? It seems to me a little sour grapes from them and RG3 needs to chill it on twitter.
Jake Trotter (4:56 PM)
Fine with RGIII, more so than Mulkey trying to rip off her jacket after Griner clearly fouled the Louisville player.
Jake (Spain)
As of right now, who do you think will be the biggest impact player next year?
Jake Trotter (4:57 PM)
Whoever is playing quarterback.
Dustin (Tulsa)
Alex Ross - O/U 600 yards rushing and 5 TD's
Jake Trotter (4:57 PM)
Under. Damien Williams and Brennan Clay haven't graduated yet.
Curious Fan (Here)
Why can't OU secure a top-flight DT? Are we being negatively recruited against? Is our perception that bad? Do our facilities suck? What is it?
Jake Trotter (4:58 PM)
Give it time. That's why Stoops went out and got Montgomery, who was a prolific recruiter at Michigan.
Clint (Texas)
How's Cody Thomas baseball season going?
Jake Trotter (4:58 PM)
He was off to a great start, but I haven't checked in awhile. Will look into. Still probably a 4th or 5th round pick, from what I hear.
Soonerbuzzy (NW Oklahoma)
Do you think OU's problems on defense in practice is scheme oriented or is it coming from lack of talent?
Jake Trotter (5:00 PM)
Chicken and the egg. The lack of talent had OU tinkering with goofy schemes late last season. I think the bigger issue is talent. Good talent can win with basic schemes. That's why finding coaches that recruit was the emphasis this offseason.
Jake Trotter (5:00 PM)
Guys, that's all the time we have today. Stay with SoonerNation for your spring ball and recruiting coverage. Chat will be back next week, same time, same place. Everyone have a great week.

The John Quincy Adams State Drawing Room
Accession #
Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams
On June 25, 1816, T. B. Johnson, Louisa Adams's brother, wrote from New Orleans requesting portraits of his sister and brother-in-law for himself. John Quincy Adams had assumed his post as Minister to the Court of St. James a year earlier, soon after the conclusion of the Treaty of Ghent (1814). As it happened, Adams had just made the acquaintance of Charles Robert Leslie, "a young American Painter, who lives with Mr. Alston. . . .[He] Has a picture of some reputation, at the present exhibition, at Somerset House; and is patronized by the President of the Academy, Mr. West."[1] The combined support of these highly regarded artists, Washington Allston and Benjamin West, was invaluable to Leslie's early career. Allston's painting The Dead Man Restored to Life by Touching the Bones of the Prophet Elisha had created a sensation in London in 1814. Benjamin West, formerly historical painter to George III, had by then been president of the Royal Academy of Arts for nearly a quarter of a century. West had been born in Pennsylvania and was always a staunch supporter of American artists; like Allston, Leslie was American, although he would remain in England. These facts, together with the intense nationalism prevailing in the United States after the War of 1812, make Adams's choice of Leslie to paint these portraits seem inevitable.
Louisa's sittings commenced on September 5,1816. When John Quincy saw the portrait in progress on September 14, he thought that the likeness "is not so good as mine." Each sat some fourteen times until the end of October [2]. When both were finished, Louisa wrote to Abigail Adams (November 11, 1816): "Our Portraits are most striking likenesses and should they reach America are to be exhibited at Philadelphia."[3]
The thoroughly Regency style of the painting is striking. The elegant yet casual pose, the poetic aura, the sumptuous textures and colors all bespeak Thomas Lawrence, not Benjamin West. It is impressive that Leslie, who turned twenty-two on October 19, should command this style with such conviction, but he had already given evidence of a precocious talent in his Self-Portrait, 1814 (National Portrait Gallery, London).[4]
Mrs. Adams, born in London in 1775, seems at home in this very English style. Her mother was an Englishwoman and her father, Joshua Johnson, was an American merchant who was forced to leave England during the American Revolution. Consequently, Louisa Adams spent much of her childhood in Nantes, France. In 1790 Johnson was appointed American Consul in London, and it was at the Consulate in 1794 that John Quincy Adams, just appointed Minister to The Hague, first met Louisa. "Louisa was charming, like a Romney portrait, but among her many charms that of being a New England woman was not one," her grandson, Henry Adams, was to write. "Try as she might, the Madam could never be Bostonian."[5]
Leslie has made much of the contrasts between this couple, even though they are united by their frank, undissembling faces. Mrs. Adams's sloping pose, the consonant flow of her gown and robe, her relaxed wrist and dangling glove are all placed in expressive contrast to the weighty, forthright presentation of her husband. For Louisa, Leslie reserved the parklike landscape with an elegiac evening sky; for John Quincy, the firmly held book.

Security Assistance Programs: The Catalyst for Transition in the Croatian Military
Liebl, Richard B., Braovac, Marin, Jelic, Andrijana, DISAM Journal
In general terms, the Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC) and security assistance programs continue to play a vital role in advising and assisting the Croatian Ministry of Defense in their efforts to become a more professional and modem force. The Office of Defense Cooperation's marching orders are to continue to support U.S. policy objectives in Croatia and the region and vigorously pursue security assistance programs to bring Croatia in line with its stated strategic objective, full North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) membership. This will be accomplished by the following: enhancing the professionalization and democratization of the Croatian Armed Forces through the international military education and training (IMET) program; assisting Croatia with its modernization effort through foreign military sales (FMS) assisted with funding through foreign military financing (FMF), promoting direct commercial sales (DCS), providing excess defense articles (EDA) and finally by promoting good will through United States European Command (EUCOM) funded humanitarian assistance programs.
Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Program
On April 8, 1999 Croatia was eligible to use the EMS program, Croatia initiated two cases and submitted a letter of request (LOR) for JANUS and SPECTRUM combat simulation software. Letters of offer and acceptance (LOAs) were signed on November 4, 1999 making them the first FMS cases ever established within the Republic of Croatia. Croatia established two more cases, one for Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) logistics publications to assist the ministry of defense (MOD) in the transition to the NATO codification system (NCS), and a second case for aircrew items and equipment for the Croatian Air Force. Using the FMS program all four cases have been financed.
Effective October 1, 1999, Croatia became an eligible user of FMF grant funds. In fiscal year 2000, Croatia received $4.0 million and in fiscal year 2001 Coratia received $3.9 million in FMF funding. This year Croatia is expected to receive approximately $5.0 million. Croatia has committed to use fiscal year 2000 FMF funds for a Multi-Integrated Laser Engagement System 2000, combat training simulations equipment, costing approximately 2.6 million and a ITT Mercury Wideband Network Radio (RT-1812) to transmit data from newly acquired radars to recipient platforms, costing approximately $1.5 million. Being new to the FMS program, Croatia has established a few small EMS cases. The request for the MILES and RT-1812 equipment will be crucial in establishing confidence in the FMS system.
Croatian Armed Forces Modernization Effort
In April 2002, the Croatian government is planning to begin the reorganization process of their armed forces, which should reduce the current active duty force of over 40,000 personnel to 21,000 over the next five years. Simultaneously, the MoD will start a modernization process, which will probably include:
* Upgrade of communication systems with high frequency, very high frequency, ultrahigh frequency and single-channel ground air radio system (SINCGARS) tactical radios,
* Upgrade of helicopter fleet (M18 and M124),
* Upgrade of MIG-21 (contract had already been signed with Romania),
* Air Sovereignty Operations Center,
* Night vision devices,
* Engineer equipment,
* Nuclear, biological and chemical equipment,
* Air defense artillery systems, and
* Ground transportation.
Some of these programs will use the FMS and FMF programs; some will go through direct commercial sales to take advantage of possible offset arrangements. Some of the modernization efforts have already been awarded to non United States government contractors, as is the case with the current MIG-21 modernization program. For more sufficient operational management of FMS, DCS, and EDA programs, the Office of Defense Cooperation Zagreb established a small office adjacent to the Ministry of Defense Department for Acquisition and Procurement. …

Bisley is a village and civil parish in the borough of Surrey Heath in Surrey, England. It is located around three and a half miles west of Woking and just south of West End. According to the 2011 Census, the population of the parish was 3,965.
Prior to the formation of Surrey Heath Borough in 1974, Bisley was part of Chertsey Rural District (1894-1933) and Bagshot Rural District (1933-1974).
Much of the west of the parish is covered by higher acidic heath, which is owned and used or leased by the Ministry of Defence and is noted for its rifle shooting ranges. The National Shooting Centre, the headquarters of the National Rifle Association of the United Kingdom, is nearby. Other landmarks include Coldingley men's prison and the factory of Bisley Office Furniture, one of the largest office furniture manufacturers in Europe.

text: I have some Shimano bar end shifters - 8 speed - that I've been using for probably upwards of 10,000 miles. Interestingly, they worked fine as far as I can remember when I was using them on a drop bar, however I just converted my bike to a trekking bar and I'm using the barcons with Paul Components Thumbies and I seem to have lost some of my indexing detentes. I get a positive click on 1st and 2nd gear (smallest cogs), yet there is nothing for 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear and the shift lever needs to be finessed to get it to shift and stay in a gear. Oddly enough 6th, 7th, and 8th all still have a positive click. If I set the shifter on friction mode it works without issue. Nothing has changed about cable routing either. I'm using the exact same length of shifter housing coming off the new locations of the barcon/thumbies as I was using when they were installed in the ends of a drop bar. Cables are all routed properly going under the bottom bracket as well. I can operate the shifter in friction mode, but I'm wondering if I hooked something up wrong or if something could've gotten broken inside the barcon. I know these are pretty simplistic units and should have a pretty long lifespan - longer than 10,000 plus miles I'd imagine. I unfastened the shifter from the thumbie mount to see if I'd had anything set up wrong, but it looks like there's only one way to correctly put the whole thing together anyway. The only thing that has changed is I was using a SRAM chain before but I put a new KMC chain on instead since the SRAM chain had taken a beating this last winter. I checked the SRAM chain with a Park Tool chain checker and it still is well within limits so I don't think there's an issue with one chain having stretched and thus worn the cogset. The cogset only has about 2500+ miles on it so I'm sure it's not excessively worn either. Any thoughts as to what's going on here?

Diabetes Health Center
Building Muscle Mass May Lower Diabetes Risk
July 28, 2011 -- Building muscle mass with resistance training exercise may play a role in lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes, a study shows.
The findings are published in the September issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.
"It's not just weight that matters, but what proportion of your weight is muscle mass," says study researcher Arun S. Karlamangla, PhD, MD, an associate professor of medicine in the division of geriatrics at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Researchers tapped into data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III on 13,644 adults who were not pregnant and had a body mass index (BMI) of at least 16.5. The researchers wanted to see how muscle mass affects insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes.
For each 10% increase in the skeletal muscle index (ratio of muscle mass to total body weight), there is an 11% reduction in insulin resistance and a 12% reduction in prediabetes. Prediabetes is a condition in which a person's blood sugar is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diabetes. These relationships held even after the researchers took into account other factors affecting risk for insulin resistance and/or pre-diabetes.
"If you start an exercise program, and don't lose weight, you should not give up hope because your fat is getting converted to muscle," Karlamangla says. "If you lose fat, you gain muscle. So even if the weight is the same, the balance shifts."
Resistance exercise may also have a role in helping people with type 2 diabetes better use the insulin that they do produce, he says.
"It's not too late if you already have type 2," Karlamangla says.
Muscle Mass and Insulin
John Buse, MD, PhD, chief of endocrinology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, says that muscle is one of the major insulin-sensitive tissues in the body.
"The more muscle mass you have, the more glucose you can dispose of in response to insulin," he says.
Insulin is a hormone that helps your body regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels. Left unchecked, high glucose levels can wreak havoc on the body and cause many diabetes-related complications.

moire *with* an AA filter
With all the discussion about the possibility of moire artefacts when the K3 came out without an AA filter, it didn't occur to me that you could still get it with an AA filter. But here is an example I noticed to day from my K-01 - the only time I've seen it. First is a shot of my nephew in the park...
.. and here is an expansion (100%) of part of the coat with no pp. There are alternating pink/green stripes just to the top right of the button, and more in the above/left area. I assume this is moire? Has anyone else seen it on a camera with an AA filter?
It must arise from the weave pattern in the coat - and presumably it also means that the Tamron 28-75 is doing a good job
Best wishes

Army leadership honors top Aviation units
February 4, 2010
By Jeremy Wise, Army Flier Staff
FORT RUCKER, Ala. -- Four Army Aviation units received prestigious Lt. Gen. Ellis D. Parker Aviation Unit Awards at a Jan. 28 luncheon in conjunction with the 2010 Aviation Senior Leaders Conference.
The awards, established after Parker's retirement in 1992, recognize units for excellence in leadership, training, maintenance and safety during the preceding fiscal year. The competition is open to active-duty and reserve component Aviation battalions.
Soldiers in the 7th Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment, Fort Campbell, Ky., took home top honors and also won the Best Combat Battalion award.
The 7th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment, also from Fort Campbell, garnered Best Combat Support Battalion Award, while the 277th Aviation Support Battalion, Fort Drum, N.Y., earned Best Combat Service Support Battalion honors.
Soldiers with the 78th Aviation Battalion, Camp Zama, Japan, received the Best Table of Distribution and Allowances Award.
Gen. Peter W. Chiarelli, Army vice chief of staff, Maj. Gen. James O. Barclay III, U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence and Fort Rucker commanding general, and Parker presented the awards.
Retired Gen. Bryan D. Brown said he was proud to speak at the awards ceremony named for one of his commanders and mentors.
Brown, a former Aviator, said the Branch is dawning on a new horizon, and the new journey requires great leadership.
"Aviation is under popular demand. Our (operations) tempo is blistering," he said, noting some challenges "can only be met with leadership (and) great detailed planning."
He said as a civilian, he does not know all the changes occurring in Aviation, but said people in the general public "all see slices of it, and it's fantastic."
The units honored displayed the high level of leadership Brown said was necessary for Aviation's new horizon.
According to Col. Russ Stinger, 110th Aviation Brigade commander and event emcee, "major commands throughout the Army held internal competitions and submitted eighteen finalists this year to compete in four categories" and judging was based on "excellence in leadership, training, maintenance and safety at the battalion and squadron level."
Soldiers in the 7th Sqdn., 17th Cav. Regt., accomplished plenty in winning the top Parker Award. The unit members flew more than 22,500 combat hours with 35 helicopters. During that time, they moved 20,000 troops and delivered more than 8 million pounds of equipment.
The unit's medical evacuation Soldiers also treated more than 1,100 patients, and others also conducted more than 45 air assault missions.
Seventh Bn., 101st Avn. Regt. Soldiers flew 31,000 combat hours in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom XI en route to their Best Combat Support Battalion Award. The unit conducted more than 220 deliberate and hasty air assault missions and registered 1,100 reconnaissance, security and attack missions. The medevac unit also cared for more than 1,100 patients.
The 227th Avn. Support Bn. Soldiers conducted a wide variety of missions in support of 10th Combat Aviation Brigade in Iraq for their Best Combat Service Support Battalion Award. The quick reaction force completed numerous site exploration and 90 combat patrols, while their aid station members treated 7,500 patients and certified 900 Soldiers as combat lifesavers. The unit's cafAfA served more than 75,000 meals.
The distribution company pumped 2.5 million gallons of fuel, distributed 800 short tons of ammunition and operated warehouses on two forward operating bases. The Aviation Support Company completed 25 helicopter phase maintenance overhauls and more than 9,000 work orders, maintaining 168 aircraft resulting in more than 140,000 hours flown on 16,000 combat missions.
In support of U.S. Army Japan and other numerous Pacific theater operations, 78th Avn. Bn. Soldiers flew 2,700 hours without Class A or C accidents and maintained an 86-percent operation readiness rate, helping them garner the Best Table of Distribution and Allowances Award.


text: The Bluff is Durban's most prominent natural landmark. An impressive headland forming the southern quayside of the port, the Bluff comprises several suburbs and one of the city's best-kept secrets - the finest bathing, surfing and fishing beaches in the area. Other attractions are the golf course and yacht club. The Bluff is thus a popular holiday spot for those in the know. It is also popular with business executives as the Bluff is close to Durban International Airport and the city's southern industrial hub of Prospecton, Jacobs and Mobeni. Whatever your reasons going there, the Bluff offers an abundance of comfortable accommodation. This ranges from hospitable B&B guesthouses and lodges to well-appointed self-catering units. Much of the Bluff accommodation overlooks the Indian Ocean a short walk away. Dolphins frolic year-round close to shore and whales are often spotted in the winter months. The Bluff also forms the gateway to the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal Province with its many seaside resorts and other attractions.

Instapundit has already linked to the op-ed, but it's behind a paywall. if you want to read the op-ed in full, do a Google search on, "Monday the Center for Competitive Politics filed a complaint with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics against nine U.S. senators", and click on the WSJ link.
