I just want to echo some of the other sentiments expressed by other posters on this board. I came across ORI using one of the stock screening tools. I set various parameters for what I consider to be important before I invest. ORI caught my eye for a number of reasons: Based on its Price/earnings ratio (approx 10), price/earnings growth ratio and price/sales ratio (close to 1), I believe it's undervalued. The company has excellent margins, increasing earnings and revenue growth, no debt, $500 million in cash, a high current ratio indicating they have the capacity to meet any financial obligations, high operating and free cash flows, a considerable amount of insider and institutional ownership, very healthy dividend and a low short ratio. I also like their mix of various insurance products, which lessens their risk in any one area. The cash dividend and stock split is just another added bonus. I have a varied portfolio and only a few stocks, which I consider to be core holdings for quality, consistent returns and safety. ORI is one of my core holdings and the only insurance company that I presently own. This is a longterm keeper.
I agree with everything you said. ORI is a great stock for the long run and continues to be a STRONG BUY to $62 per share. If you have kept track of my other postings you know why I say $62 per share.I have heard on this message board a lot of comments about the window dressing of divedends, special dividends and stock splits. I don't think those commentors are seeing the full picture.I like the regular dividend because I get to spend the money now without having to sell any stock. Yes, I know that the stock value adjusts down to take into consideration the paid dividend. But, check the historical prices over the last three years and you will see that the stock bounces up quickly, so that the regular dividend is almost like free money versus the value of the stock. Yes, the special dividend has a bigger hit on the stock value and takes longer to recover. But again, check the historical price and you will see it recovers that special dividend and starts to grow again. This is some more free money. I ask - where do you get 6.5 percent on your money in the market and feel you are still in a safe play. Even long term 5 year CDs don't pay 6.5%.After the split the stock will probably be worth $21 per share. Yes, I know everyone assumes that this means nothing. Everyone assumes that the split does not change the value but think about this. How many new investors now, might finally be more interested because it is closer to $20 than it is to $30 and seems like a better value for the smaller investor. That is the biggest benefit on the stock split. MORE INTEREST AND AFFORDABILITY FOR MORE PEOPLE. Plus, through this whole process the big boys are watching and reading. Lots of good press and a good price to book really helps this stock in this industry sector. Lots of insurance stock are 2 times book and ORI is only 1 times book. Like I said the big boys, Hedge Fund Managers, Fund Managers check these points out. This is a good basis stock for them for a good steady growth that makes this a STONG BUY in the long run. Not every stock can be a "flash in the pan". Too many flashes and you can really get burned.Keep in mind also that if it is a good value at $26 and a better value at $21 only because people forget about the split and only think about returning to the old high. It is like everyone expects it to return to the old high and it does. These things all play into why the stock goes up and why this continues to be a STRONG BUY.Happy Holidays.
>> This is some more free money. I ask - where do>> you get 6.5 percent on your money in the >> market and feel you are still in a safe play.;)http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=oI own some of that ;)I am thinking about ORI now via naked puts. See follow up post

ARLINGTON, Va. (WJLA) - A real life Grinch is bringing holiday headaches to neighbors in Arlington. Dozens of drivers discovered their car tires were slashed over the weekend -- and unfortunately it's not the first time it's happened.
Arlington County Police say 40 tires were stabbed Saturday. The tire slashing spree brings the total number of tires cut since November 19 up to 76.
"Everybody is a victim until we find the guy who's slicing these tires," said High View Park resident Warren Smith.
Many victims replaced their tires, only to walk out their front door and find them flattened again.
"Within the last three years, my wife's car has been hit three times on the rear tire," said Matt Carey.
He says the crime against cars is taking a huge financial toll on residents.
"It really is bringing a hardship to a lot of people in this community," he explained. "There are a lot of people here on fixed incomes."
Willie Jackson-Baker is saddened by all the heartache. She's the John M. Langston Civic Association president and says enough is enough.
"It's Christmas time, so if you've been hit twice in the last three weeks, think about the hundreds of dollars you're putting out in replacing tires," she said.
Lifelong Arlington resident Jerline Forman hasn't gotten an estimate yet on what the crime will cost her. She is pleading with whoever is behind the slashing to stop.
"Stop the craziness," she implored. "Stop the craziness."
Forman found two of her vehicles vandalized and her son who lives next door had his car hit too.
"It's ridiculous," she admitted. "It doesn't make any sense."
As she and the other latest round of victims struggle to find the cash for repairs, they're left with more and more questions.
"Who's this guy doing this and why's he doing this," questioned Smith. "That's pretty much what everybody wants [to know]."
Police say they have no suspects at this time, but they are keeping a watchful eye. A neighborhood meeting is taking place on Wednesday, December 18 at the Langston Brown Community Center. It starts at 7 p.m.

For the price of a brand new NEXT powerclimber and a trip to Wal Mart to buy it.
I was driving to work and spotted the bike lying in the grass at a garage sale. I never see old ten speeds in my neighborhood, and I have the same disease lots of you do, so I pulled over to check it out - a quick glance told me that it was full campagnolo, including pedals. It had a naked chain wrapped around the top tube with a lock and a crappy rubber cover over the saddle. I asked the garage saler "How much?" She pointed to a paunchy middle aged guy who spoke no English - he just smiled and waved "no". Soon a friend of his (Who was riding a Magna) came over to interpret. I told the owner that I wanted his bike, and he said (through the interpreter) "I need a bike". I immediately offered to take him to Wal Mart and buy him a new bike, and he accepted. I followed them back to their apartment,wincingly watched him lock it up again with the naked chain, and then we took a quick trip to Wal Mart, picked up a Next Powerclimber in "rojo", two bottles of Gatorade, and made the swap.
I haven't even looked at the bike, really, except as I loaded it into my truck. I'll remedy that tonight and take some photos. It has a Brooks Saddle under the crappy cover, and chrome lugs. There looks to be some dinging on the paint, and a couple of rust spots on the fork chrome. The previous owner is a day laborer, and told me that he bought it off an old man he did some work for.
How did I do?

At the risk of getting slammed by astute members of this board, an estimate of IIQ-2013 P&L for LINE is offered up for reasoned dismantling:
Revenues = 16 analysts estimates from Yahoo Finance plus 3% = $596.2 Mil
Lease Operations Expense = up 20% vs IIQ 2013 = $106.4 Mil
Transport Exp = up 25% with improving % of sales (5.7%) on larger scale = $33.9 mil
Marketing Exp = no increase vs IQ = $7.4 Mil
G&A = modest 4% increase = $60.9 Mil
Deprec, Depletion, Amortization = no increase = $197.4 mil (possibly understated)
Impairment of long-lived assets = no change from IQ = $57 mil
Taxes (not income taxes) = Increase of $10 mil = $49.6 mil
All other expenses = no change from IQ = $5.6 mil
Total Expenses = sum of above = $518.3 mil
Other Income (Expenses) = no change from IQ = -$102 mil
Income Tax Exp = no change from IQ = $7.5 Mil
Net Income (Loss) net sum of above = -$31.6
Distributable Cash Flow (simplified) = Net loss + Deprec, Depl, Amort = $165.8 mil
DCF / Unit = $0.737
Distribution/unit = $2.90/unit divided by 4 = $0.725
Distribution coverage by DEF - 101.6%
Net Income and DCF are very leveraged to Net Income. I assume 16 YHoo Analysts are on the conservative side thus I upped estimate by 3%.
All critiques of this are welcome, well reasoned and otherwise.
A question about the Straw Man QII financial estimates warrants an answer:. How can LINE pay distributions if Net Income per Common Share (Unit) is small or negative. Answer: Net income is derived from a specific set of accounting standards and guidelines and includes among many other income and expense items, the charging of depreciation, depletion and amortization of long-term assets...These assets were paid for previously as capital investments (e.g., bought a tractor with an 8-year life span, bought an oil well with a 9-year life span, etc.). Because such assets lose value over time, it is REQUIRED by GAAP principles that the loss of value be expensed over time. Please note that there is no cash actually going out the door from such expensing. That's why it doesn't affect cash flow and why to get to cash flow such expenses are added back to net profits. Now, look at LINE cash flow statements for the last 4 quarters. Total Cash Flow from Operations was $649,988. Total Dividends (distributions) paid were $630,299. So cash flow from operations was about 3% greater than distributions.
Again ask (for the third time) is that GAAP or Non-GAAP?
Thanks fredrickson1. You are absolutely correct with your point. On top of that many of the fully depreciated assets still have many years of profitable income producing life left.
Is this Adjusted EBITDA, GAAP, or Non-GAAP?
What about interest expense?
Gains/losses on derivatives?
Are they selling more assets we don't know about? (Impairment charges)
Provisions for legal matters?
Maintenance capex?
How do you get the huge jump in revenue from first quarter?
Revenues are as estimated by the average of 14 analysts shown in YaHoo Finance Estimates of revenue for IIQ and increased it by 3% because I think the analysts are probably erring on the conservative side.
Gains (losses) on derivatives is assumed to be the same as in IQ at (-$108,370) and would be deducted from gross revenues to get to net revenue estimate = $596.2 million
Interest expense is included in Other Income (Expenses) and is unchanged from QI at (-$102) million.
Impairment of long-lived assets is shown as the same as IQ at $57 million.
Big revenue jump from IQ is per 14 Analysts' estimates of IIQ revenue (plus my 3% boost up as explained above).
Boost in legal fees would not be material to QII financials. Legal stirrings did not occur until QIII.
The baseline IQ P&L figures are from Linn Energy's website, April 25, 3012 filing of 10Q for IQ, PDF file.
I mentioned in initial post that "Net Income and DCF are very leveraged to Net Income." Duuh, I meant "....leveraged to Total Net Revenue."
Also of note, the P&L is driven for the most part by five numbers, Total Revenue, Lease Operations Expenses, G&A Expenses, Depreciation, Depletion & Amortization Expense, and Other Income (Expense)--which is virtually all Interest Expense. The four expense categories account for about 95% of my $596.2 million QII estimate.
Gains/losses on derivatives?
Non cash irrelevant.
Are they selling more assets we don't know about?
Source of cash
Impairment charges
Non cash
Maintenance capex?
YOu have to take that from management. No one inclusive of the shorts can calculate it.
However the independent valuations done by the bry analysts certainly did have access to all the data. Their valuation was $36+.
What happen missed a dose?
You have a years long record here of proving you do not understand accounting, economics or investment math. More importantly you refuse to learn and remain as you are.
Ignorant and angry about it rather than doing anything remotely productive.
I will not claim to be astute but immediately apologize to any honest poster of any opinion I might not have given a proper benefit of the doubt.
I think you are astute and this is the most reasonable baseline assumptions. The wild card as another poster pointed out is the 5% reduction in volume due to infrastructure problems. Issues certainly can be resolved but perhaps not in a quarter.
But the shorts are working of fear and panic and any DCF below 1 for any reason will have them play longer. As this is all irrational and irrational can not be forecast who know what the unit price will do in the short term.

Since we both enjoy biking , I suggested that we look into a local mtb track that would be easily accessable to us. Although there is one probelm though.......we currently do not own mountain bikes, so I am currently in the market for two....preferable singlespeed. Can anyone suggest a good entry level bike? My budget would be up to $1,000 for both.

HRW's Bill van Esveld: "The main concern is over the fact that a person cannot simply be disappeared. That is against the norms of international law. That person's family needs to know what has happened to them. They have to be able to have access to a defence attorney and their government needs to be informed to permit consular access."
An Israel reserves soldier, who has refused to partake in army duty to protest Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories, has gone on hunger strike in military prison, in what he said was a show of solidarity with Palestinian administrative detainees.
"When you grow up you will understand how injustice was brought upon your father and upon thousands of Palestinians whom the occupation has put in prisons and jail cells, shattering their lives and future for no reason other then their pursuit of freedom, dignity and independence. You will know that your father did not tolerate injustice and submission, and that he would never accept insult and compromise, and that he is going through a hunger strike to protest against the Jewish state that wants to turn us into humiliated slaves without any rights or patriotic dignity."
"My beloved Lamar keep your head up always and be proud of your father, and thank everyone who supported me, who supported the prisoners in their struggle, and don't be afraid for God is with us always, and God never lets down people who have faith and patience. We are righteous, and right will always prevail against injustice and wrong doers."
The Israeli supreme court rejected this week the appeal of two Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike for 70 days. The rejection was described as a death sentence by Physicians for Human Rights – Israel. In mid-April, the day Khader Adnan, a prisoner on s 66 day hunger strike, was freed, more than 1,600 Palestinian prisoners went on a mass hunger strike. In solidarity, hundreds protested outside Ramle Jail where high-profile Political Prisoner Ahmad Sa'adat is held. Israeli police attacked the protest, arresting 17. A local court forbids them to communicate with each other for 15 days, sentencing them to five day on house arrest.
Israelis are not satisfied with the various measures to worsen [Palestinian] prison conditions. When it comes to Palestinians, punishment is not enough. Prison must also be never-ending revenge that extends what Israel tries to do outside its walls as well: to break up the collective, to weaken the individual, to deter others from resistance to the foreign regime.
Khader Adnan: I ask God to move the consciences of the free people around the world. I thank them all, especially Ireland, for they have stood by my hunger strike. I ask them to stand in solidarity with all the Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike in the past, present and future, with our tortured and oppressed people who live under the injustice of occupation day and night.
References to Israeli soldiers murdering Egyptian prisoners of war, although never officially acknowledged by Israel, can be found in a variety of sources. This case is interesting because it provides details on a discussion with the young General Ariel Sharon, a senior commander during the the 1956 Sinai War. Sharon lies about both the cause and the timing of the murder of Egyptian war prisoners.
Imprisoned Fatah commander called on Palestinians to severe economic and security coordination with Israel, urged economic and diplomatic boycott: "It must be understood that there is no partner for peace in Israel when the settlements have doubled… It is the Palestinian people's right to oppose the occupation in all means, and the resistance must be focused on the 1967 territories."
After more than a month on hunger strike, Hanaa Shalabi is in "immediatemortal danger" and at "risk of coma" according to a Physicians for HumanRights doctor. Shalabi's strike came at the heels of another high profile campaign by Khader Adnan who survived a 66 day hunger strike before the Israeli authorities decided to release him. Both were arrested under Administrative Detention, a military order that allows Israeli authorities to arrest anyone and hold them indefinitely, without charge or trial.
It is Amnesty International's assessment that the reasons for Ahmad Qatamesh's arrest and continued administrative detention are his peaceful expression, in his writing and teaching, of non-violent political views and the fact that he is considered a mentor for left-wing students and political activists, some of whom may be affiliated to the PFLP. As such, his detention may be part of the Israeli authorities' strategy to put pressure on the PFLP organisation. Therefore, Amnesty International considers him to be a prisoner of conscience and is calling for his immediate and unconditional release.
Israeli High Court of Justice schedules hearing for 23 February while Khader Adnan continues to be in "immediate danger of death"
Israel's High Court of Justice scheduled a petitions hearing regarding the case of Khader Adnan on Thursday, 23 February 2012. The High Court of Justice was provided with a detailed medical report prepared on 14 February by an Israeli-accredited doctor on behalf of Physicians for Human Rights-Israel. Despite the elaborate medical report, which confirmed that Khader Adnan "is in immediate danger of death," and that "a fast in excess of 70 days does not permit survival," the Israeli High Court appointed the petition session for 23 February with no guarantees that a decision will be made on the same day. By then, Khader Adnan—if alive—will have reached the 68th day of his ongoing hunger strike.
UPDATED Israel's Supreme Court moves up Khader Adnan's hearing to 21 Feb, 2012.
The world watches as tragedy unfolds beneath its gaze. Khader Adnan is entering his 61st day as a hunger striker in an Israeli prison, being held under an administrative detention order without trial, charges, or any indication of the evidence against him. The Palestinian prisoner's case is a microcosm of the unbearable cruelty of prolonged occupation.
Khader Adnan has already broken a Palestinian record for the longest solo hunger strike. Yesterday he passed his 50th day as a hunger striker, protesting what he regards as humiliating practices exercised by Shin Bet security service interrogators. Posters displayed at support rallies have above his portrait the statement: "Dignity above food", a statement repeated in a Facebook page titled "We are all Sheikh Khader Adnan."
Marwan Barghuti: "The conflict will be finished the moment the Israeli occupation ends, and there is a full withdrawal to the 1967 borders and a Palestinian state is established… I call on the great Palestinian people to embrace unity and cohesion and to establish a national unity government and also to embrace popular, peaceful resistance to end the occupation."
In a letter penned in jail to the Palestinian people, commemorating his Fatah party's 47th anniversary, Barghouti said peace negotiations with Israel are finished, "and there is no point to make desperate attempts to breathe life into a dead body… Fatah … should be in the leadership of the peaceful popular resistance now."
Report shows the military appeals courts decidedly favor the prosecution, with judges accepting 67 percent of prosecution appeals, as opposed to only 33 percent of appeals filed by the defense.
The Palestinian people are under occupation. It doesn't surprise me that the media has not raised the issue of the thousands of prisoners who are in prison. They have never given us any sense of value or consideration. It was Shalit who was the one who was oppressed. He was the one paying the price. The whole world was talking about Shalit. But no people can ever be victorious as long as the value of an individual is not respected. Up until now, we are worthless to the international community. Because it is westerners who have 'value.'
Israeli forces overnight Sunday raided the homes of seven prisoners freed as part of the Oct. 18 prisoner exchange deal between Hamas and Israel.
Palestinian Authority Minister of Prisoners Issa Qaraqe said the situation of Palestinian prisoners was worse than before the Oct. 18 prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas. The deal also included an end to solitary confinement and punitive measures, he said. Director of the parliamentary prisoners' committee Khalida Jarar said Israel has detained 110 Palestinians since the deal was made.
In the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), Israel's prolonged occupation has led to astonishing detention statistics. Since 1967, over 700,000 Palestinians have been detained: this figure amounts to around 20 percent of the existing Palestinian population in the OPT, which consists of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Among the most egregious aspects of Israeli detention policy is its treatment of child prisoners.
A report by two Israeli human rights organisations, the Public Committee Against Torture (PCAT) and Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), claims that medical staff are also failing to report suspicion of torture and ill-treatment, returning detainees to their interrogators and passing medical information to interrogators.
Israel has most explicitly devalued Arab life in the differentials it has been careful to maintain in the deaths and injuries its forces inflict and are prepared to sustain during conflict – Israel's famous "deterrence". According to the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem, nearly 6,500 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers since the outbreak of the second intifada in 2000, compared with 506 Israeli fatalities. And Israel increased that imbalance more than tenfold during its attack on Gaza in winter 2008, when 1,400 Palestinians were killed as opposed to nine Israelis.
News that Israel and Hamas had reached agreement on a prisoner exchange instantaneously displaced the PLO bid for full UN membership from the headlines in mid-October. Arguably, Hamas and Israel had a common interest in this regard. More importantly, the Palestinian Islamists, no longer relegated to the margins of the Palestinian UN initiative by the rival leadership in Ramallah, can now resume reconciliation talks from a position of relative equality.
While hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and Gilad Shalit return home, hundreds others go into exile, and thousands remain jailed in Israel.

The Philippines is on track to meet its target of 5.5 million tourist visitors for 2013 after the country consistently posted over 400,000 visitors each month in the 1st quarter of the year. Visitor arrivals for 1st three months of 2013 reached a record high of 1,271,579, a 10.76% increase from 1,148,072 in the same period in 2012. Department of Tourism (DOT) data recorded 436,079 arrivals in January, 2013,418,108 in February, 2013, and 417,392 in March, 2013.
South Korea was the leading visitor market from January to March, 2013, with 328,454 arrivals, rising by 23.93% for the period. Other top markets were United States of America with 186,065 or 14.63% of overall visitor volume; Japan with 114,269 visitors or 8.99%; China with 98,242 visitors or 7.73; and Taiwan with 53,867 arrivals or 4.24%. Other key markets included Australia, 53,679 arrivals; Singapore, 41,524; Canada, 38,486; Hong Kong, 36,005; United Kingdom, 32,475; Malaysia, 27,212; and Germany, 22,491. Revenues from foreign tourists reach $1.15 billion for the 1st quarter of 2013, higher than the $1 billion in the same period in 2012.
The government implements tourism-related reforms and infrastructure programs to address connectivity and multi-modal access to achieve its target of 5.5-million tourist arrivals this year. The lifting of the Significant Safety Concerns by International Civil Aviation Organization augurs well for the goal to attract more foreign visitors, which at the end of the Aquino Administration in 2016 is expected to hit 10 million. The tourism sector is seen to account for 18% to 20% of the country's total employment by 2016.
The DOT's "It's more fun in the Philippines" campaign launched last year has boosted the country's tourism program and the DOT has since launched various television ads to promote the campaign.
We congratulate the Department of Tourism, headed by Secretary Ramon R. Jimenez Jr., and Undersecretary for Tourism Planning and Promotions Daniel G. Corpuz, other Officers and Personnel, in their overall efforts to bring the Philippine tourism to unprecedented heights, and in the process, make it a "rising star" in the travel and tourism industry in the Republic of the Philippines. CONGRATULATIONS AND MABUHAY!

|Henry Leo Hooper in 8th grade
class photo at
Frank Wagner Jr. High
(eventually HS class of 1945)
I am a veteran and have spent some time in dangerous places, but I find it very hard to imagine the world as it must have been for these men that made the ultimate sacrifice.
I have lived more than a decade in the Netherlands and have often visited the American Memorial Cemetery Margraten. I can not even begin to describe to you the feeling you get when you approach such a field of crosses, more than 8000 of them…
Just a few months ago I became aware of the possibility of adopting one of the graves.
Many local families have adopted a grave and been taking care of them since they were first laid to rest, grateful for the sacrifices they had made. I was just not aware that a non Dutch citizen could also adopt. I received immediate response to my inquiries and was sent an adoption certificate that states only the basic information regarding the person I had been given:
Name: Hooper, Henry L.
Rank: Private First Class (PFC)
Unit: 1 ENGR CMBT BN 1 DIV
Date of Death: 17 APR 1945
State: WASHINGTON
(Plot B, row 10, grave 18)
Rank: Private First Class (PFC)
Unit: 1 ENGR CMBT BN 1 DIV
Date of Death: 17 APR 1945
State: WASHINGTON
(Plot B, row 10, grave 18)
I visit the grave regularly and make sure he is remembered even though I am missing any details such as: what he looked like? where he grew up in Washington? does his family know where he lays? how he died? where he died? etc? More pictures of PFC H.L. Hooper grave site.

Today I received some new information from my contact in the United States (Imogene, many thanks for your work in digging this all up!):
Service Number - 39206277
Awards won:
- Bronze star
- Purple Heart
- European African Middle Eastern Campaign Medal
- World War II Victory Medal
- World War II Service Lapel Button
"December 16th, 1944 - When Germany launched its offensive from the Eifel region against the First United States Army lines in the Ardennes section of Belgium and Luxemburg, it marked the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge. It also set the stage for the development of the largest continuous minefield ever laid on any American division front. The 1st Engineer Combat Battalion planned and installed this extensive 12-mile minefield of 31,480 antitank mines, 127 anti-personnel mines, and 38 trip flares in 2 weeks beginning on 20 December. The minefield aided the 1st Infantry Division in firmly repelling three of Von Rundstedt's best divisions, thereby preventing a successful breakthrough in the Monschau shoulder."
The site Veterans of the First Engineer Combat Battalion's holds some history from WWII:
" Prior to the start of World War II, the 1st Engineer Regiment was reorganized as the 1st Engineer Combat Battalion and again assigned to fight as part of the 1st Infantry Division. In 1942, the battalion landed with the initial forces spear-heading the North Africa invasion. In 1943, the battalion cleared underwater obstacles and destroyed enemy pillboxes during the landings on Sicily. During the Normandy landings at Omaha Beach in 1944, the battalion led the assault forces, breaching gaps in the extensive enemy mine and wire obstacles and clearing the combat trails leading off the beaches. The battalion received its third Presidential Unit Citation for actions at Omaha Beach and received the Distinguished Unit Citation for combat action at Gafsa, Tunisia, and Normandy. The battalion fought as part of the 1st Infantry Division during the remainder of the war in the European Theater and after 10 years of occupation duty moved to Fort Riley, Kansas."
I will continue to dig, trying to find out more about his time between enlistment and up to his passing. If you have any information, please feel free to contact me through this site.

(Updated March 14th, 2015)
Contacted by a Mrs. McCarthy and her son who live in Monroe, WA. and are working on a school project to research and honor their towns WWII fallen. They have found the following article in the local Monroe Monitor newspaper archives from 18 May 1945 listing the death of PFC Henry L. Hooper.
Through this she put me in contact with a son of one of Henry L. Hoopers cousins, who provided this family photo from 1927 shot in or around 1927 with Henry L. Hooper sitting on the stairs as a boy.
The final report is here for your enjoyment:
(Updated June 5th, 2015)
A photo from Henry L. Hooper's 8th grade class was obtained by Charla McCartney, verified by his cousin Ray Sjblom during her research and forwarded to me. Photo added to top of this page.

Private First Class
Henry Leo Hooper
Henry Leo Hooper was one of the 18 causalities of World War II from Monroe.
He was born on September, 9th 1924. Shortly after he was born, his mother left him in the care of his father Albert Henry Hooper. His dad served in the Navy for 30 plus years so growing up Henry had to live with his grandparents Andrew Bowman Hooper and Alice Tippet Hooper.
He completed grammar school which is typically 8th grade and was part of the relay track team. After he completed school, he was trained to be a mechanic.
Henry was a short man at 5 foot 3 inches tall and weighed about 150 lbs. He was drafted and enlisted on April, 9th 1943 at the age of 18 into the Army. His enrollment was for the duration of the War or other emergency, plus six months, subject to the discretion of the President or otherwise according to law.
He was a Private First Class and served in the First Engineer Company 26th Infantry 1st Division. He served with the combat engineers in France, Belgium, and Germany. On April 17th 1945, with only two years of service under his belt, he died of shell fragment wounds to the right buttocks during a battle in the vicinity of Schierke-Braunlage, Harz Mountains, Germany. The only personal effects returned to his family was one wrist watch. Awards received by Henry included the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, European African Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal and World War II Service Lapel Button.
He is buried in the American War Cemetery Margraten in the Netherlands. Henry's father stated, "It was my son's expressed desire to be buried where he fell."
As a result of my search for more information on Henry, I found that his grave had been adopted by Eric D. Schabell a former United States Marine who lives in the Netherlands. I was able to contact Eric and provide more personal information about Henry's life prior to his military career. Eric visits Henry's grave at least once a year.

Why the discrepancy?
For the record, I do share the router signal with a 2nd laptop. Or is it all about physical positioning of my laptop?

US set to boost ties with Syrian opposition
WASHINGTON The Obama administration is getting ready to tighten its ties to Syria's main opposition group, a step in the intensifying diplomacy that officials hope will craft an end to Syrian President Bashar Assad's embattled regime.
Officials say the administration is on track to recognize the new Syrian opposition council as the sole legitimate representative of the Syrian people at an international conference on the crisis in Morocco this week.
The move will pave the way for greater U.S. support for those seeking to oust Assad and follows the blacklisting of a militant Syrian rebel group with links to al-Qaida. That step is aimed at blunting the influence of extremists amid fears that the regime may use or lose control of its stockpile of chemical weapons.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday that the Syrian government seems to have slowed preparations for the possible use of chemical weapons against rebel forces. Last week, U.S. officials said there was evidence that Syrian forces had begun preparing sarin, a nerve agent, for possible use in bombs.
"At this point the intelligence has really kind of leveled off," Panetta told reporters traveling with him to Kuwait, where he will visit U.S. troops at the start of a four-day trip. "We haven't seen anything new indicating any aggressive steps to move forward in that way."
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton had been due to attend Wednesday's meeting in the Moroccan city of Marrakech but canceled her trip because she was ill with a stomach virus, her spokesman, Philippe Reines, said. Instead, Deputy Secretary of State William Burns will lead the U.S. delegation.
On Monday, Clinton designated Jabhat al-Nusra, or "the Support Front" in Arabic, a foreign terrorist organization. The move freezes any assets its members may have in U.S. jurisdictions and bars Americans from providing the group with material support. The designation is largely symbolic because the group is not thought to have holdings or support in the United States, but officials hope the penalties will encourage others to take similar action and discourage Syrians from joining.
That step was part of a package intended to help the leadership of the newly formed Syrian Opposition Council improve its standing and credibility as it pushes ahead with planning for a post-Assad future.
The administration took further action Tuesday against extremists on both sides, with the Treasury Department setting separate sanctions against two senior al-Nusra leaders and two militant groups operating under the control of the Syrian government. Two commanders of the pro-Assad shabiha force also were targeted.
"We will target the pro-Assad militias just as we will the terrorists who falsely cloak themselves in the flag of the legitimate opposition," said David S. Cohen, the department's sanctions chief.
More significant, though, will be the upgraded status for the council that the U.S. is preparing to announce in Marrakech. That is expected to be accompanied by pledges of additional humanitarian and nonlethal logistical support for the opposition. It's unlikely that the U.S. would add military assistance to that, at least in the short-term. Providing arms remains a matter of intense internal debate inside the administration, officials said.
Recognition of the council as the sole representative of Syria's diverse population will bring the United States into line with Britain, France and several of America's Arab allies, which took the same step shortly after the body was created at a meeting of opposition representatives in Qatar last month.
The U.S. had been leading international efforts to prod the fractured Syrian opposition into coalescing around a leadership that would truly represent all of the country's factions and religions. Yet it had held back from granting recognition to the group until it demonstrated that it could organize itself in credible fashion.

text: Posted March 30, 2013 IMO, our top 6 is: Smith LaFell Pilares Ginn Jr Gettis Adams In that order due to what the coaches thought of them last season. Throw in Hixon and then Adams and Gettis are on the bubble. Possibly Pilares too but not as much as those 2. If we draft a WR with our first pick as well, Gettis and Adams are gone IMO. And I only mention Gettis because for some reason Rivera has him in his doghouse. He was healthy at the end of last season and didn't play him at all.

Paris, unlike Washington, can claim to be an impartial mediator, and Sarkozy is bolstered by his current role as the chief of the 27-nation European Union, Russia's biggest trading partner.
But a cease-fire deal that Sarkozy crafted is spluttering. His diplomatic blitz to Moscow and Tbilisi on Monday may be his last chance to save it - and his credibility as a peacemaker.
Officially, Sarkozy, who will be joined by the European Commission president and the EU's foreign policy chief, is charged with ensuring that the terms of the accord are being honored.
Even for the most seasoned diplomat, that is no small feat.
Russian forces have been digging in their heels, President Dmitry Medvedev has given no sign of backing down, and the historical and legal backdrop is complex.
Sarkozy made his reputation as a results-oriented, energetic and tough-talking interior minister, qualities in contrast with the stuffy, eloquent and high-minded French diplomats of yesteryear. At times Sarkozy's abrupt, unstatesmanlike style has overshadowed his message.
Several analysts said the primary goal of Sarkozy's mission Monday needs to be cooling tensions between Russia and Georgia, which are not as quantifiable as the hard results that he typically seeks.
Sarkozy will be carrying an EU mandate: Bloc leaders who met at an emergency summit on the crisis Sept. 1 scolded Moscow, insisting it was not holding up its side of the deal because Russian forces remain inside Georgia. Russia calls them peacekeepers and says they are allowed under the accord.
Sarkozy's priority No. 1 is to get Moscow to pull out hundreds of forces that crossed over from the breakaway zones of South Ossetia and Abkhazia and have taken positions deeper in Georgia, French diplomatic officials say.
The Sarkozy-led mission is also aiming for agreements that would allow more international observers to be deployed in Abkhazia and South Ossetia to monitor the ceasefire, and set a timetable for talks about the security and stability of the breakaway republics, which Russia recognizes as independent.
Sarkozy's first shuttle mission in the first days after hostilities broke out Aug. 7 led to the cease-fire deal. His second trip to Moscow and Tbilisi in less than a month indicates the crisis is among the biggest that the EU has faced.
"It's very good that the French presidency reacted so quickly,'' said Sabine Fischer, an expert on Russia at the EU's Institute of Security Studies in Paris. But the ceasefire deal has problems, she added: "It gave the Russian side room for interpretation ... this is what Sarkozy has been criticized for.''
So far, in his 16 months in office, Sarkozy's doggedness has paid off in the international arena. …

Umm, this article states 6 Turnovers for 17 points. What? First of all, there
were 7 turnovers. Secondly, that turned into 33 points for the Utes. Maybe thats
why you didnt give everyone a failing gradeyou didnt realize how bad this loss
Devastating way to lose for the Cougars, but we will bounce back.

my observations from the game.
1- even with a bum shoulder Wynn is a superior quarterback who knows how to win.
2- BYU's defense gave up, flat out gave up, like they didn't care what was happening around them.
3- Riley Nelson at least cared about what happened when he fumbled the ball.
4- Riley needs a much larger helmet and wouldn't be playing in Logan either.
5- Utah's coaches were much better. To say it isn't the coaches fault that BYU had 7 turnover's is wrong, they weren't prepared for the physicality of the game and weren't conditioned well enough.
6- Heaps is as good as he will get. He is unreal in practice, his own teammates say it, but he definitely does not have the "it" factor and is not a winner.
7- USU will definitely beat BYU for the second year in a row. Heaps should get with his PR agent to find out when that last happened!

Gotta be honest with you....
I was raised as a teenager in Utah. My whole family is still there; everyone but me. I love Utah and consider it my home.
However....it's getting tougher and tougher to cheer for the Univeristy of Utah when they play THEIR games. It's not that I don't like the school, I actually went there as a freshman. I just don't like a HUGE chunk of their fans. I don't think I'll shed many tears the next time Utah gets lit up by someone else and slinks back to Salt Latke City in the dead of night to avoid being seen.
Oh sure, Ute fans will get on here and claim that will "never" happen but it's only a matter of time that it will. These things happen in sports occasionally and any honest fan knows it.
So tell me, Ute fans, is it really only BYU fans who are arrogant?

@ Hawkyo
"COugars have bad history against second-string QB's you should know that. And the Cheap shots were coming from Utah players more than BYU. (Hence the Unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the U)"
Oh my friend. Where do I start? First, that "second-string QB" out played your vaunted #1 QB recruit and led his team to victory while putting up some very good numbers even though he only had to play for three quarters.
Second, I don't know what game you were watching, but the final penalty numbers tell the story. Utah had three penalties for 24 yards, BYU had 8 penalties for 70 yards and repeatedly interfered with the Utah receivers to compensate for their inability to properly play defense. Also, the cougar defense dodged a bullet when Travis Uale put a blatantly illegal helmet to helmet hit on Devonte Christopher which, for some reason, the official 6 yards behind could not see. (Luckily, the hit is being reviewed by the NCAA and will probably result in Uale being suspended) Had that penalty been called, Utah would have moved to within the 10 yard line, scored, and won by even more than they did.

What is Cellular Inflammation?
People (including virtually all physicians) are constantly confused what cellular inflammation is. So I decided to take the opportunity to explain the concept in more detail. There are two types of inflammation. The first type is classical inflammation, which generates the inflammatory response we associate with pain such as, heat, redness, swelling, pain, and eventually… Read more »
Hard times Are Ahead
Last month was a red-letter month for the future of mankind as the world population passed 7 billion. Unfortunately, this fact dovetails with recent research that indicates it is likely that one-half of all Americans will be diabetic by 2050
Pass the Salt Please?
Analyzing a great number of published studies, researchers came to the conclusion that there is no strong evidence to support the idea that salt restriction reduces cardiovascular disease or all-cause mortality in people with either normal or increased blood pressure.
The Key To A Healthy Gut
Most people think all you need for a healthy gut is to consume bacterial-fortified yogurt products. In reality, the balance of bacteria in your gut may hold a key toward managing systemic inflammation in our bodies.

Every now and then it's worth going back over the published literature to see how the Zone diet stacks up in various areas of nutritional research.

Dr Spodick points out that pericardial effusions of mixed causes are not a common cause of arrhythmias in the absence of co-existent anatomic heart disease.1-3 Our extrapolation from pathways of pancreatic pseudocyst drainages to analogies concerning arrhythmias seen in some cases of acute pancreatitis was misleading, since our article focused on intrathoracic pancreatic drainage pathways into the mediastinum and pleuropericardial cavities, and did not refer to observations made in cases of acute pancreatitis.4 We speculated that these pathways, should they be operative in some cases of acute pancreatitis, could offer another explanation for the occasional arrhythmias associated with pancreatitis. These arrhythmias have been previously attributed to stress, hypovolemia, and electrolyte disturbances,5,6 or co-existent heart disease.1,3
Conventional wisdom has perhaps overspeculated that pericardial inflammation can trigger rhythm disturbances by involving the sinus node.5,6 However, drainage of pancreatic enzymes capable of causing intense tissue inflammation7,8 into the pericardium could possibly be different
