Warrior Ethos: Wiesbaden-based senior NCOs focus on improving health of the force
August 16, 2012
By Wendy Brown (USAG Wiesbaden)

WIESBADEN, Germany - U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Command Sgt. Maj. Sa'eed Mustafa likes it when he sees "what right looks like," and a trio from Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers showed him just that Aug. 3.
"I get goose bumps just listening to this young Soldier right here," said Mustafa, referring to Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers Spc. Jayse Knapp, who had just spoken about the program during a luncheon Mustafa organized for the community's sergeants major at the dining facility.
"If we had more Soldiers like this, out there doing the types of things these Soldiers right here are doing, we'd have fewer DWIs, less domestic violence, fewer drug problems and all of the other issues that we have sometimes with some of our junior Soldiers," Mustafa said.
Mustafa, who assumed responsibility in July, also used the time to recognize the volunteer work of BOSS volunteers Spc. Charles Auteberry and Sgt. Jesse Mathews of the 421st Multifunctional Medical Battalion.
Auteberry, also an Eagle Scout, and Mathews volunteered more than 80 hours of time with to the Pack 65 Cub Scout Rheingold District Day Camp at the Rheinblick Recreation Complex the week of July 25-29, said Knapp.
The "What Right Looks Like" spots from the U.S. Army Europe came to mind when thinking about Auteberry and Mathews, Mustafa said.
"When you've got Soldiers out there volunteering their own personal time to do these types of things it makes the community better," Mustafa said. "Obviously it helps grow them as good Soldiers and leaders, and then it mitigates all that other foolishness that we've got to deal with out there."
Knapp updated the senior NCOs on recent BOSS volunteer activities and upcoming trips.
"We have a very positive reputation," Knapp said. "We go on free or discounted trips. We have free food and free barbecues. We volunteer at everything. All of the Soldiers who want to be in it are in it and do amazing things."
Mustafa asked the sergeants major to encourage single Soldiers to get involved in BOSS. "These are once-in-lifetime types of opportunities, and it would be a shame for them to be in Europe and not take advantage of them," Mustafa said.
Other topics
In addition to news on the activeness of BOSS, the sergeants major also heard briefings from Housing, Andrews Federal Credit Union, Military Personnel Division, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Directorate of Emergency Services.
Victor DiMarzo, supervisory housing specialist, said the garrison is in the process of giving management control of the barracks back to the units, and garrison officials expect the barracks to go back to the units by mid-September.
The garrison will continue to provide support and training after the transition, DiMarzo said.
In other barracks news, all but two of the barracks buildings have transponder locks, DiMarzo said, but Soldiers need to be aware that lost keys cost $53 to replace.
Earnestine Hatley, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Military Personnel Division chief, said her office is making significant progress on completing a garrison-wide initiative aimed at identifying trained sponsors.
Sgt. 1st Class Rolando DeLeon, a military police officer representing DES said the community needs to work toward decreasing incidents of driving under the influence charges.
Four Soldiers assigned to Wiesbaden were charged with DUI in the last three months, DeLeon said. "Four DUIs in under a 90-day period is an awful lot of DUIs for Soldiers," he said, noting that. AAFES sells breathalyzers for about $4 a piece, and he encouraged people to use them.
DeLeon also encouraged the sergeants major to participate in a ride along program that Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, USAREUR commander, spearheaded. The ride-alongs take place on weekends and holidays and during the hours of darkness, DeLeon said.
"My MPs are going to take you out and show you all the hot spots of where the Soldiers hang out," DeLeon said.
Al Johnson, vice president of overseas operations of Andrews Federal Credit Union, said bank representatives are available to come to units for personal finance education.
"I see too many Soldiers using ATM machines, and they throw the receipts in the trash, and they don't maintain a check register, so we end up with (charges for insufficient funds). They write a check for $10 and end up paying about a $45 NSF in the process. getting $45 for $10 to me just doesn't make sense," Johnson said.
Jeff Wagaman, District One international commander for the VFW, said the organization is 2.1 million strong worldwide, and has more than 15,000 members in Europe. Wiesbaden, he said, is the largest VFW post in the world, with just under 3,000 members aimed at helping Soldiers with grants, lobbying Congress on behalf of veterans' issues and providing financial support to youth organizations.
The VFW is about strength in numbers, Wagaman said, and he encouraged Soldiers to become members if they are not already.
"It's not about the now, because you might not need the services now, because we're all young and healthy and hooah, hooah, but down the road when you're broke, you're hurt, you're disabled, who do you turn to? You turn to the VA for your…help," Wagaman said.
The VFW in Wiesbaden meets the second Thursday of every month at Building 7005, Crestview Housing Marsweg 3, 65191 Wiesbaden. Meetings start at 5 p.m. with socializing, and at 7 p.m. the organization starts meeting business. For more information, visit www.vfwpost27.org.

Interesting Piece on Another Battle Over Military Aircraft Procurement
I make no claim to have any idea who is right and who is wrong in this dispute, but it bears watching: Will an American company, or a Brazilian, supply aircraft to be used in Afghanistan? Former Air Force General Jeff Remington, a consultant for the American company, weighs in at the link above.
The question should NOT be where the plane is built, but which bid would provide the best aircraft at the best cost for the job at hand. But IF all other things are equal, in my book, THEN the American company should get the edge. But I think that should be a decidedly secondary consideration, because what's important is that the military job be best aided, regardless. Still, this is a provocative column, well worth a look.

"BUCKS COUNTY" Doylestown by eugini2001
Doylestown Travel Guide: 15 reviews and 36 photos
Named for a mid-18 century tavern keeper, William Doyle, who opened his second colonial roadhouse, circa 1758 on the northwest corner of the intersection of Dyers and Coryell's Ferry roads, on the approximate site of the Fountain House at North Main and west State streets. His first roadhouse was on the road that ran from Swede's Ford (Norristown) to Coryell's Ferry (New Hope) now routing 202 and the road from Philadelphia to Easton, now Route 611.
The land on which Doylestown was built was originally owned by the Free Society of Trades of London. Doylestown was the site of two Revolutionary War encampments, although little physical evidence remains.
I have a little kid, that's why most of the places I start with it's a place for kids. What I love in Doylestown is everything; it's such a quite, relaxing place, nice people, and great atmosphere, museums, churches and theaters. One of the attractions for kid they can boast is "Kid's Castle". It's an eight story wooden playground structure-castle obviously-that is located in a public park. It has a really spooky slide with a complete darkness inside. Kids just love it! It's the place where you can relax while your children spend all there energy climbing and making new friends! People like to bike, walk and skate there-perfect place for it I must say!
- Pros:nice rural area
- Cons:too quiet for some people,not for me
- In a nutshell:LOST PLACE IN A FOREST

Police probe Wallingford armed robberyBy JOSH O'GORMAN
STAFF WRITER | March 26,2013WALLINGFORD- Police are searching for a man who threatened a pregnant woman with a knife and stole her vehicle during an early-morning robbery today.
Around 5:52 a.m., Vermont State Police received a 911 call from the manager of the Smart Shop store at 172 North Main St. According to police, the manager, who is six-months pregnant, was arriving to open up the store for the day when she was approached by a man with a knife, who forced her inside the building.
"He did actually threaten her with a knife," said State Police Detective Sgt. Albert Abdelnour.
The robber forced the manager into the bathroom, stole an undisclosed amount of cash and took the manager's car keys, police said. Police later recovered the manager's vehicle on Creek Road near the Route 4 overpass in North Clarendon.
The manager was not injured. There were no other employees or any customers in the store.
Police describe the robber as a male, between 5-feet 5-inches tall and 5-feet 9-inches tall with a medium build. The man was dressed entirely in black, including a black mask that completely covered his face.
Anyone who might have seen anything suspicious between 5 and 7:30 a.m., either near the store or where the vehicle was found, is asked to call the State Police Rutland barracks at 773-9101. Tips can also be submitted anonymously at www.vtips.info.

Smith charged with two felonies
The Champaign County State's Attorney's Office filed charges Tuesday against Jamar Smith following the University of Illinois Police Department's investigation of his Feb. 12 accident that left Brian Carlwell in critical condition.
Smith, a sophomore guard on the Illinois basketball team, is charged with one count of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, a class 4 felony, and one count of leaving the scene of a personal injury accident, a class 3 felony.
The police investigation revealed Smith was drinking tequila and beer with Carlwell and others before the two left in Smith's 1996 Lexus and headed North on First Street at 11 p.m.
Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz could not confirm where Smith was headed. Smith, whose blood alcohol content was later determined to be .176, more than two times the legal limit, lost control of the vehicle, crossed the center lane and hit a tree on the passenger side.
"This was a case of extremely poor judgment by Jamar," head coach Bruce Weber said in a formal statement. "Now the legal process must run its course. Our program will continue to support Jamar as he deals with this situation."
Smith, 19, drove the damaged vehicle back to College Fields Apartments on South First Street in Savoy, where two witnesses saw "a tall man" exit the car and enter the apartment building. The witnesses also saw an unconscious passenger in the vehicle. The tall man and a second man, whose identity is unknown, later returned to the car before re-entering the building. The witnesses dialed 911, but no other 911 calls were made.
Sheriff's deputies and University Police arrived on the scene and found Carlwell unconscious in the vehicle. Smith, who originally believed Carlwell had died in the crash, was found in his apartment with a number of other basketball team members and taken to Carle Foundation Hospital at 1 a.m.
"Based on the investigation, it appears that he went into his apartment and there were a number of other people there," Rietz said. "It appears he was very distraught."
"There were other people there who have been interviewed," Rietz said. "I'm not releasing the names of witnesses."
Smith was treated and released early Tuesday morning, and results of a drug test are still pending. Carlwell remained in hospital care until Friday.
An aggravated DUI charge is punishable by one to 12 years in the Department of Corrections, Rietz said. It is a greater offense than a regular DUI, which is a misdemeanor, because a personal injury occurred in the accident. The charge of leaving the scene is a result of Smith's failure to report the accident within one half hour of the crash. It is punishable by two to five years in prison.
On Wednesday Smith's family hired attorney Mark Lipton, who is also representing senior Rich McBride in his DUI case. McBride is due to appear in court on March 1. Lipton's office has not issued a statement and declined to comment.
Assistant Athletic Director Kent Brown said Smith returned to campus Sunday night and attended class on Tuesday. Smith and Weber agreed it would be in the sophomore's best interest to miss the remainder of the 2007 season. Weber made it clear that it was not a suspension, and Brown said it is still not being labeled as such.
"He remains a part of our family and needs us now more than ever," Weber said. "The most important thing is that both young men are alive, and that Brian is expected to make a full recovery."
Bond is set at $10,000 and Rietz said she expects Smith to surrender himself. No court date has been set.

Romney to look for laughs, and votes, on Leno show
Published: Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 2:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 2:52 p.m.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mitt Romney has been a target of Jay Leno jokes, and now he'll get the chance to give the late-night comedian a few jabs in return.
NBC announced Thursday that the Republican presidential candidate will be the lead guest on the "Tonight Show" on Tuesday. It's the former Massachusetts governor's first visit to Leno's stage during the 2012 presidential season.
Over the years, Leno has riffed about the candidate's wealth — Romney is a multimillionaire — and poked him on his restrained — some say stiff — demeanor.
Romney has been a Leno guest three times in the past, but this will be his first appearance since 2010.

It only takes the jurors of the District Theatre's 12 Angry Men an hour to deliberate and arrive at a verdict in the play's murder trial, but director Tristan Tapscott's production in no way feels rushed or stunted. Instead, Thursday's 60-minute trip through this classic piece of theatre did a fine job of showcasing the excellence of playwright Reginald Rose's script. Plus, purists be damned, Tapscott's decision to cast women in what's traditionally – even titularly – an all-male drama proves not at all problematic, and allows for the inclusion of Patti Flaherty, and her infusion of humorous personality traits, in the role of Juror Four.

Near as I can tell, there are two types of people: those who like Reginald Rose's jury-room drama 12 Angry Men, and those who haven't seen it yet. So speedy and smart, so filled with personality and (mostly) unforced emotion, the work seems practically indestructible, and I actually fall into a special subset of people: those who love 12 Angry Men with a passion bordering on mania. (Between Sidney Lumet's 1957 film version and the 1997 television remake, I've watched it - and this is a conservative estimate - more than three dozen times.) So it was with nearly delirious excitement, and just a touch of dread, that I attended the Playcrafters Barn Theatre's Saturday-night presentation of the show, the first stage production of Rose's piece that I'd seen.

Why does it take so long for my Mac to wake up?
When I open the lid of my MacBook Pro to wake it up from sleeping, the password screen pops up immediately, but it takes a couple seconds until what I'm typing actually registers. The computer has an Intel SSD, and I don't recall it acting this way until recently. I installed all software updates and repaired/verified all disk permissions, but the issue still persists. Thoughts?
Is this a good question?

Hello there,
I am very interested in this whole 'astral projection' thing. I used to be a skeptic, but upon almost experiencing Astral Projection (or at least I think that what I experienced had something to do with astral projection) I am now a believer.
Basically what happened was, I felt as though I was stepping out of my pysical self, but before I could fully do that, I got frightened, and opened my eyes.
1. If you have an encounter with 'something' in the 'astral plane' and it attacks you for instance, do you actually feel pain? Can this attack be dangerous to you?
2. I have read of people who have been unable to come back to their pysical self. Can anyone explain how you actually step back inside your self?
3. Can astral projecting have any negative effects on you? Health-wise. I am a very cautious person...
4. Do many people astral project? It would be nice to know they are a good few.
5. I am a 27 year old man and have heard that as you age your energy levels are lowered, which in term effects your ability to project. Is this true? If so, am I too old to project?
My biggest worry is getting stuck in the astral plane and never being able to get back... Wouldn't that just be awful though?
I appreciate any answers you have.

» Western Digital's CEO Discusses Q3 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Robert Blair
Thank you. As we begin, I would like to mention that we will be making forward-looking statements on our comments and in response to your questions concerning growth in the storage industry, our position in the industry, our investment in capital allocation plans, HDD demand for the December quarter and fiscal 2013 and our financial results expectations for the September quarter and fiscal 2013. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including those listed in our 10-K filed with the SEC on August 20, 2012. We undertake no obligation to update our forward-looking statements to reflect new information or events.
In addition, references will be made during this call to non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of the differences between the historical non-GAAP measures that we provide during this call to the comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the investor information summary posted in the Investor Relations section of our website.
The forward-looking guidance we provide during this call excludes certain items such as amortization of intangibles and the dilutive impact of sales of drives to Toshiba in connection with our divestiture transaction. Because the amount of these items is not fully known to us at this time, we are unable to provide guidance for or a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The impact of these excluded items may cause the estimated non-GAAP financial measures to differ materially from the comparable GAAP financial measures.
[Operator Instructions] I also want to note that copies of remarks from today's call will be available on the Investor section of Western Digital's website immediately following the conclusion of this call.
I now turn the call over to Chief Executive Officer John Coyne.
John F. Coyne
Thank you, Bob. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today. I have with me our President, Steve Milligan; and our Chief Financial Officer, Wolfgang Nickl.
In this, my last earnings call, I'm happy to report another quarter of strong financial performance, continuing our track record of consistent execution. During my 6-year tenure as CEO, we have experienced and successfully addressed many different challenges and opportunities. Throughout, we have continued to hone our time-tested and flexible business model, delivering outstanding returns and value under varying scenarios. The results include a doubling of market share, a tripling of revenue and a fivefold increase in profits.
I'm proud of this sustained performance by the team, and I'm confident as I pass the leadership of the company to Steve, ably supported by Tim Leyden, Mike Cordano and Wolfgang, that they will continue to build on that momentum.
While the macroeconomic environment is dampening near-term demand, we remain confident in the continued long-term growth in the creation, storage and management of digital content. This is being seen in every aspect of our lives, and monetizing it provides a compelling long-term opportunity for the company.
We have built strong relationships with customers in all of our markets by consistently delighting them with high-quality, reliable products based on superior technology and delivered through the industry's most efficient supply chain. We have developed a tremendously broad product portfolio, great depth and breadth in our people and technology resources and a powerful platform. Western Digital has never been better positioned to succeed as it continues to thrive on change and deliver great value to all its constituents.
I want to take this opportunity to thank our customers, our supply partners and our investors for their support, and I especially want to thank our employees around the world who have consistently delivered such outstanding performance.
With that, I'll turn the call over to Steve Milligan.
Stephen D. Milligan
Thanks, John. We are very pleased to report strong financial results for our September quarter, demonstrating our continued ability to deliver value under varying market conditions. There are several dynamics currently limiting market demand: first, global macroeconomic weakness, which is impacting overall IT spending; second, product transitions in the PC industry; and third, the continued adoption of tablets and smartphones, which is muting PC sales growth.
These headwinds notwithstanding, the Western Digital team remains focused on creating outstanding economic value, building on our strong multiyear track record. There is a tremendous opportunity as we innovate and enable customers to store, manage and connect the massive and growing amounts of digital data in their personal and professional lives. This opportunity extends well into the future.

Me As a Pilot: My live show is like watching How I Met Your Mother on really cheap whiskey
Photo by Megan Asmus
One of the risky things about releasing an album at the end of the year is that it will get lost in the shuffle of year-end lists, but this is something that Minneapolis artist Nick Costa, aka Me As a Pilot, is not concerned about. Although he self-recorded and performs a lot of the parts himself on his newest album, Quarrels, the performer closes out his year on an enticing note. With Quarrels, Nick concocts an album of near-perfect pace with divine construction, delightful lyrics, and sweet intent.
Gimme Noise spoke with Costa before his album release at the Triple Rock on the long road that went into making his record.
Where did the name Me as a Pilot come from? Why have a name for a solo project? I've been playing in way too many bands around the area for years. This is the only project that I am the sole writer for. So, in that sense, the name is kind of self-explanatory. It's me kind of calling the shots, and taking the most direction. The reason I chose to have a moniker was kind of for multiple reasons. One being that there are a million different "singer/songwriters" out there, and I don't feel like I should be lumped into that category. Not that I'm better or worse than anybody described in that way, but I feel that singer/songwriter thing is so restricted. Where as if people assume that it's a band, it leaves the door open to a lot more possibilities musically. I like the idea of kind of being able to do whatever I want.
You've been writing music for a long time now. How do you feel you've grown in those eight years as a musician? Has your music matured?
It has definitely matured. At least, I hope to hell it has. I mean, the stuff I wrote when I was 15 is borderline unlistenable. Really cheesy, high school stuff. Not to mention at that age, you're always kind of trying to emulate somebody or something. At this stage of my life, I kind of try to draw influences but still try to keep it very true to myself. Not to mention I used to write maybe a song or two a month. These days, I try to write a few songs a week. If I don't, I kind of feel like I'm being lazy. If you write that many songs, after a while you're bound to kind of go "oh...I haven't done THAT before."
You said you recorded Quarrels in your studio basement. Was that a necessity or do you prefer to work by yourself? Yes and no. It was kind of more of a financial necessity at first. Seeing that this is more of a "solo" project, I was kind of the only one contributing financially. Not to mention I usually work during the evenings, and it's really hard to get into an actual studio. I had recorded an EP previous to this record in my living room by myself and thought "What the hell?" Working by yourself definitely has its benefits. I feel like I really got to make these recordings exactly the way I wanted them to be without restrictions of time and money. It was extremely stress free, and I feel that it shows in these recordings. Plus, on my days off I could wear pajamas all day. It ruled. What was the writing process like for this album?Well, that's kind of hard to say. I didn't really sit down and say, "Okay, I'm going to write this album." I just wrote a shit ton of songs and kind of found which ones went together. I'm also in a band called The Person & the People, so I had to decide which songs would go towards that group, and which songs would go on the Me As a Pilot record. It was actually really hard to do. In the end I just picked 10 songs that worked together, and about 20 songs towards the other band. There's even some left over for the future.
I didn't. I played a lot of instruments on the record, but not all of them. All of the other musicians on this record added things I never would have thought of. In some cases I feel like it made the record ten times better. I did do all of the vocals however.
Absolutely. There's a lot that you can do by yourself, and you can feel very satisfied. However, whenever I work with other people, I really learn from them. It's really cool to be able to feed off of one another as they throw ideas out there. For this record, I really tried to let each musician do whatever they wanted to do. I hate being told what to do for recording. It just kind of makes me say, "Why don't you just do it yourself?" Which is irrational in a sense, but it really can be frustrating. I tried to keep the vibes as low-stress as possible.Any favorite tracks off Quarrels and why? Any songs you think will stand the test of time?
That's kind of hard to say. I really like "December," and the last two songs "Long, Long Gone" and "All Shook Up." Sam Sanford, who is also in The Person & the People, and I just made a bunch of weird noises for those songs and drank beer. It was some of the most fun I had making the record. But I hear a lot of people like the song "Gold." That's a lot more of a pop song.
How did you meet Knol Tate and Kerri O'Halloran, and how did you come to choosing them to work on your album?
Knol and I officially met when I was working with my buddy Adam who has a project called Expatriate. I sang and played a little bit of guitar on his record, which Knol produced. I showed up with a pound of coffee, and we talked punk music for a while and became fast friends. He also did a bunch of stuff for Dan Mariska that I absolutely love. The dude knows his shit. He made my amateur recordings sound listenable.
Kerri and I go way back, but we started hanging out regularly when I lived with her brother Chris, who is in a band called Taj Raj. She'd come over all the time, and eventually started bringing over pieces of art that she had done. Most of them were inspired by Wes Anderson films, which I absolutely love. Actually, for my birthday she painted me a picture of Link (from Zelda) and Batman fighting. It's the coolest thing in the fucking world. I was blown away by how original her pieces were, and asked her right away if she'd do the art for the record. She absolutely nailed it. I couldn't be happier with how the art turned out.
If I had to pick one, probably studio musician. You can take your time, and sometimes you can just have way too much fun playing with tones, and weird noises and effects. But that's a tough question. When you play live, there's this type of energy that you just don't get in the studio. It feels so awesome and unique every time. Plus, you usually get free beer at shows. That's always nice.What can we expect to see at your album release show?
It's always a mystery to me. I guess my live show is kind of like watching Slayer on acid, except instead of Slayer, it's just watching "How I Met Your Mother" and instead of acid it's just really cheap whiskey. It's gonna be neat.
Me As a Pilot will release Quarrels at the Triple Rock Social Club on Thursday, December 27, 2012 with Dan Mariska & The Boys Choir, Chris Shotliff and The Hardest Part, Danny Morrison.

About Citizens Advice
Read what we're saying about a range of issues
Citizens Advice responds to damning Public Accounts Committee report on DWP management of its contract with Atos to carry out controversial work capability assessments, the medical tests used in deciding fitness for work.
Citizens Advice Chief Executive Gillian Guy said:
"The Public Accounts Committee is absolutely right in saying the way the government manages its contract with Atos must change and DWP decision making must improve. We are seeing a lot of very sick and seriously disabled people being wrongly denied ESA and suffering enormous additional stress and hardship at a time when they most need support.
"Wrong decisions have a human cost and a cost to the tax payer. Getting medical assessments right first time is absolutely essential to ensuring that seriously ill and disabled people get the support they are entitled to, and cutting the number of unnecessary appeals. The huge volume of unnecessary appeals is wasting millions of pounds of taxpayers' money and risks undermining the Government's welfare reform programme.
"Private companies on government contracts must be accountable to the public and face penalties for poor performance. We have long said that Atos should face a fine for every inaccurate report that they produce. The government has already awarded Atos the lion's share of the contracts to carry out medical assessments for the new Personal Independence Payment (PIP), the benefit due to replace disability living allowance (DLA) later this year. This makes it all the more urgent that regular, independent monitoring of the accuracy of medical reports is put in place before medical assessments and reports are given a central role in deciding who is entitled to PIP."


text: Hi All - I've recently being fooling around with apps like Floatify and Heads Up Notifications in order to have a more Android L feel to my notifications. I remember previously using Floatify on my old M7 and a call answer/decline would pop up when there was an incoming call. Heads Up Notifications is supposed to produce a similar pop up. I've disabled my lockscreen but no matter what settings I use, I still get the Sense call answer/decline screen on my M8. I'm in the process of checking with the devs but I'm wondering if anybody else has been encountering a similar issue. If so are there are any workarounds? I'm using Insertcoin rom. Thanks.

COLUMBUS, Ind. — A Columbus man was arrested on multiple drug charges following an investigation that culminated with the local SWAT team executing a search warrant Wednesday.
A neighborhood watch program tipped police to possible illegal drug activity at 1219 Franklin St. because many vehicles and people would come and go from the house, Columbus Police Department spokesman Lt. Matt Myers said. An investigation was conducted by Columbus Police Department and Indiana State Police narcotics detectives, he said.
The SWAT team executed the search warrant at 5:48 p.m. and used distraction devices in the process, Myers said. Officers located drug paraphernalia and marijuana in plain view, and a search also uncovered psychedelic mushrooms, LSD and cash. At least 10 pounds of marijuana was discovered, along with substantial amounts of the mushrooms and LSD, Myers said.
Johnny J. Sharpe Jr., 33, 1219 Franklin St., was arrested and jailed on charges of two counts of dealing in a Schedule I controlled substance, dealing in marijuana, maintaining a common nuisance and possession of paraphernalia.

I want to convert for example, 1000 to one thousand (currency). How can i do it in Jasper?
You will have to change
An alternative to Dave's response:
1) If your RDBMS supports it (like HSQLDB, for example) you can create a user-defined, user-invoked function that takes the data model representation for a field and converts it to a presentation-layer representation. For example, a database stores timestamps internally as Modified Julian Day numbers (doubles). A Java function can be written and stored with the database (SQL/JRT) to convert from a UTC double to a localized time/date string.
2) Write an SQL Query to produce a table containing the data you want in the report. The difference is that you use your user-invoked SQL/JRT function on the source column to convert it to the presentation-layer representation in the Result Table.
3) Use your SQL Query (once you have it working) as the basis for a CREATE VIEW (DDL) statement.
4) Build your report using the newly defined View as the iReport datasource.
Advantages: No customization of iReports needed. The View you create can serve as the basis for any reporting tool, not only iReports.
Disadvantages: This creates a dependency between your database and a JRE and (most likely) your RDBMS. In order to access your user-invoked function, you'll need to store the function in the database and it will need to be able to access a JRE in order to create the View. There is a SQL/JRT standard and so it is possible that your migration target RDBMS might be able to support it, but certainly this is not ever guaranteed.

NBA's pursuit of restitution from Donaghy a blunder

Maybe I Should Have Gone To See Cat Power On Tuesday After All
"She looked sharp, in a new blonde Mohawk and high-heel boots. But her body language felt halfhearted. She was dithering. Uh oh. And then, just as surprisingly, she opened up and radically redefined her course. From there on the concert was good, occasionally very good."
—The Times's Ben Ratliff reports Tuesday night's Cat Power concert at Hammerstein Ballroom as a comeback story. Attendees commenting at Brooklyn Vegan gave mixed reviews. She certainly sounds great performing "I Don't Blame You" in the video (passed along by Awl commenter "zspace," thanks.) above. It's very nice to see her smiling, too. Nothing would make me happier than if I was wrong about worrying for her health.

Hey guys,
This is my first post here, although I have been reading through a lot of other threads. I am a long time web developer (PHP, CSS, XHTML, JavaScript...etc) so coding is not a new concept to me. I've had 1 Java programming class, although that's been a few years back.
I've bought, and have gotten through about half of Beginning C++ Through Game Programming by Michael Dawson, but all of this is only command line programs.
I understand that in order to use a language you have to know the syntax and blah blah blah... but I've noticed that C++ is ridiculously similar to PHP, so the syntax isn't hard to catch on to. I guess my question is... how do you bridge the gap between text based command line to GUI.
Should I jump right into learning DirectX or should there be a middle step in there somewhere? I intend on starting small and working my way up... (ie starting with something somewhat simpler like tetris)

WWE redneck stable
Reports recently surfaced that WWE was applying for a trademark for the term "Redneck Reppin' Company", which has led to mass speculations from the internet wrestling community that a new stable was going to be formed. As of right now, there as been no confirmation of such a group. However, if one were to be formed, then a strong candidate to be involved would be Luke Harper, a performer that many backstage are big fans of.

Parabolas are common in algebra as the graphs of quadratic functions, and they have many important real world applications.
Learning Objective
Identify the focus, vertex, and axis of symmetry of a parabola given its formula
Key Points
- Parabolas are frequently encountered as graphs of quadratic functions, including the very common equation
- All parabolas contain a focus, a directrix, and an axis of symmetry that vary in exact location depending on the equation used to define the parabola.
- Parabolas are frequently used in physics and engineering in places such as automobile headlight reflectors and in the design of ballistic missiles.
Or relating to projectiles moving under their own momentum, air drag, gravity and sometimes rocket power
A point on the curve with a local minimum or maximum of curvature.
A line used to define a curve or surface; especially a line, the distance from which a point on a conic has a constant ratio to that from the focus
Full Text
In mathematics, a parabola is a conic section, created from the intersection of a right circular conical surface and a plane parallel to a generating straight line of that surface. Another way to generate a parabola is to examine a point (the focus) and a line (the directrix). The locus of points in that plane that are equidistant from both the line and point is a parabola. In algebra, parabolas are frequently encountered as graphs of quadratic functions, such as:
Interactive Graph: Parabola with Focus and Directrix
Graph of the parabola where
The line perpendicular to the directrix and passing through the focus, that is, the line that splits the parabola through the middle, is called the axis of symmetry. The point on the axis of symmetry that intersects the parabola is called the "vertex", and it is the point where the curvature is greatest. The distance between the vertex and the focus, measured along the axis of symmetry, is the "focal length". Parabolas can open up, down, left, right, or in some other arbitrary direction. Any parabola can be repositioned and rescaled to fit exactly on any other parabola—that is, all parabolas are similar.
To locate the
Parabolas have the property that, if they are made of material that reflects light, then light which enters a parabola traveling parallel to its axis of symmetry is reflected to its focus, regardless of where on the parabola the reflection occurs. Conversely, light that originates from a point source at the focus is reflected, or collimated, into a parallel beam, leaving the parabola parallel to the axis of symmetry. The same effects occur with sound and other forms of energy. This reflective property is the basis of many practical uses of parabolas.
The parabola has many important applications, from automobile headlight reflectors to the design of ballistic missiles. They are frequently used in physics, engineering, and many other areas.
