The Bar at Broadoaks
Our quaint little bar was added to our house by Tracey and Jo in 2009.
Back in the early 1900's this room was the original parlour and the favourite room of Charles and Fanny Hodges.
The front section of the bar does have a little history as we acquired it from a local architectural restoration business, it was in fact the old post office counter from Millom post office!
(See the full story in the frame situated to the side of the bar.)
From our little bar we can serve you just about any drink you like, we were thrilled last year when Heineken decided that they would allow us to serve their draft larger, bitter and ciders.
Check out our selections of gins and vodkas, in particular the Scorpion and Coconut infused Vodka, new additions from one of Tracey and Jo's shopping trips to London, Tracey highly recommends the Coconut Vodka Martini!
We will do our very best to get you your favourite tipple so please put us to the test.
"l do pour a mean martini when I am behind the bar , so try one if you dare
One Martin, Two Martini, Three Martini ……..Floor".

Brendan Brazier
Vegan"70 percent of [grain] grown in North America is consumed by animals, not by humans, and it takes 16 pounds of grain to net 1 pound of meat. That's a huge energy loss and an inefficient use of land."
Canadian endurance athlete, author, advocate of a vegan diet, creator of the Vega line of food products and supplements.
Brazier is a former Ironman triathlete (1998–2004). He is the author of The Thrive Diet (2007), Thrive Fitness (2009), and Thrive Foods: 200 Plant-Based Recipes for Peak Health (2011). He was twice Canadian 50k champion, in 2003 and 2006.
Now 35, with six Ironmans under his belt and two wins at the Canadian 50 km Ultramarathon Championships, Brazier has shelved his professional training to promote vegan eating. By eating a strictly vegan diet, he discovered that he could reduce his recovery time between workouts while increasing his energy level and endurance. After several years of trial and error, Brazier came up with a meal plan of nutrient-rich, plant-based foods that he would later market as the Thrive Diet. In addition to books and his award-winning Vega products (a line of plant-based convenience foods like smoothies and energy bars), Brazier offers "Thrive in 30," a free 30-day online program that teaches plant-based nutrition in three e-mailed videos per week.

Dave's Double Barrel
Cowboy Dave stared hard out at the shimmering horizon. Knowing this time
could be his last, he rode onward. That fine Alexandra in her fluffy dress
and Buttercup eyes awaited his return from wrangling up some
sparkly tassels for her birthday bicycle.
Nevermind the thorns, the goat heads, the burning sun
The dehydration, the scorpions, the rattlers. He would trounce them all.
He shall traverse the desert on his valiant steed, Double Barrel,
and sweep her off her feet, and say
"I have conquered the terrible desert for your happy birthday."

Biosynthesis and Function of Volatile Formation in Woody Plants and Grasses
Many plants respond to herbivore feeding by producing complex volatile blends. These blends consist of compounds from several chemical classes such as terpenoids, aromatic esters, and green-leaf volatiles. We are investigating the biochemical and genetic basis of herbivore-induced volatile production in woody plants and grasses. Gaining basic knowledge about these processes will help us to elucidate the biological role of single volatile compounds in plant-insect interactions.
The biosynthesis and biochemical fate of volatile alcohols in Populus trichocarpa
As a defense against insect herbivores, many plants emit a complex blend of volatile compounds upon herbivory. These volatile blends comprise terpenes, green leaf volatiles, nitrogenous compounds and aromatic compounds. Plant volatiles can reduce the fitness of the herbivore on the emitting plant as they might attract herbivore enemies. Recently we identified several enzymes responsible for the formation of nitrogenous volatiles in poplar. We showed that L-phenylalanine can be converted by CYP79/CYP71 enzymes to benzyl cyanide with phenylacetaldoxime as an intermediate. RNAi-mediated knock-down of the responsible CYP79 genes resulted in trees with reduced emissions of phenylacetaldoxime and benzyl cyanide. Surprisingly, the emission of 2-phenylethanol, a volatile alcohol, was dramatically decreased as well. Feeding of labeled phenylacetaldoxime to poplar leaves resulted in the formation of labeled benzyl cyanide, 2-phenylacetaldehyde and 2-phenylethanol, suggesting a pathway that might connect these herbivore-induced volatiles. We are now characterizing nitrilases, acid and aldehyde reductases, and acyl transferases in aim to understand the enzymatic machinery leading to the formation of volatile aldehydes, alcohols and esters.
The biochemical and genetic basis of terpene formation in poplar
As other plants, poplar contains a large family of terpene synthase genes (tps) which encode key enzymes of terpene biosynthesis. The recently sequenced genome of Populus trichocarpa revealed 32 full-length tps genes, twelve of which we have already cloned and characterized. The characterization of the other tps genes is currently in progress.
Using a small-scale microarray approach, transcript accumulation of all tps genes will be measured in the different plant organs, under varying biotic and abiotic conditions. The results from these experiments will hint at the function of the enzyme products and help us to understand why and how plants evolved such large terpene synthase gene families.
The evolution of insect-induced terpene biosynthesis in the grasses
(in collaboration with Dr. Feng Chen, University of Tennessee)
The aim of this project is to investigate the molecular basis of insect-induced terpene biosynthesis in sorghum and the evolution of responsible terpene synthases in different grasses. Currently we identified three terpene synthase genes from sorghum which showed increased expression after herbivore-feeding. Biochemical characterization revealed that the three TPS produce the same sesquiterpenes but with completely different product distributions. Comparative studies with terpene synthase orthologs from sorghum, rice and maize will help us to identify key amino acids which changed during evolution and resulted in altered product specificities.
Identification and characterization of enzymes involved in the biosynthesis and activation of benzoxazinoid derivatives in maize
Benzoxazinoids are plant defense compounds which are found mainly in the plants of thegrass family, such as wheat and maize. The biosynthesis of benzoxazinoids (BXDs) in maize has been extensively studied in the last two decades. The pathway starts from indole-3-glycerol phosphate and leads to 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one glucoside (DIMBOA-Glc) and the realted DIBOA-Glc. Maize also produces other BXDs like HDMBOA-Glc, DIM2BOA-Glc, HDM2BOA-Glc, HMBOA-Glc and HBOA-Glc, which are probably derived from DIBOA-Glc and DIMBOA-Glc. However, the biosynthetic sequences leading to this complex mixture of products are currently not known.
In our attempt to investigate the enzymes responsible for BXD formation in maize, we have started to identify the O-methyltransferase (OMT) which converts DIMBOA-Glc to HDMBOA-Glc (see figure), thought to be more toxic than other BXDs. Recently it was shown that this conversion is strongly upregulated after herbivore feeding. Hence, a detailed understanding of this defense mechanism could speed up the breeding of herbivore-resistant maize lines. In a close collaboration with two research groups in Switzerland we are planning to construct maize lines overexpressing as well as knocked-out in the omt gene. The resistance of these lines against different classes of herbivores will be investigated in laboratory and field experiments.
Beside the formation of BXDs in maize, we are also interested in the activation of these important defense compounds. Activation is based on the formation of highly reactive aglucones f rom the plant glucoside, which occurs after tissue damage through the action of specific β-glucosidases. Two β-glucosidases, Glu1 and Glu2, were already described to be involved in BXD activation. While their biochemical properties were extensively studied in the past, their regulation is poorly understood. BLAST analysis revealed the presence of a small glu1/2-like gene subfamily in the maize genome. Beside glu1 and glu2, it contains five additional glu genes which might also be involved in BXD activation. We will start to analyze the contribution of the single glu genes to aglucone liberation after herbivore feeding.

Oilers announce 2009-10 regular season schedule
Oilers begin 31st NHL season with Battle of Alberta October 3rd
Wednesday, 07.15.2009 / 1:00 PM MT / News
By Edmonton Oilers Press Release

Edmonton will play 18 games against Eastern Conference opponents to round out the 82-game schedule. The Oilers will play five games against Atlantic Division teams, eight games against Northeast Division teams, and five versus Southeast Division opponents.
This year's home schedule once again features two games against each of the Oilers' three Eastern Canadian rivals: the Montreal Canadiens are in Edmonton early in the season on October 10, the Toronto Maple Leafs visit Edmonton during the Holiday period, December 30, and the Ottawa Senators play at Rexall Tuesday, March 9.
The Oilers will also visit the other Canadian cities, starting with a trip to Canada's capital city November 10 as part of the club's second longest road trip of the year. Edmonton will embark on that five-game excursion in Colorado on Sunday, November 8, followed by Ottawa on November 10, Buffalo on November 11, Atlanta on November 15, and Columbus on November 16. Edmonton will also play Montreal and Toronto as part of a four-game road trip starting in Montreal on March 11, Toronto on March 13, Columbus on March 15 and finishing in Minnesota on March 16.
Other feature home games this season include the return of the New York Rangers to Rexall Place on November 5, the Washington Capitals on Saturday, December 19, and an appearance by Sidney Crosby and the Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburg Penguins Thursday, January 14. The Carolina Hurricanes and Philadelphia Flyers visit Rexall on February 1 and 3 respectively.
The first three months of this year's schedule will see the Oilers play 21 home games and 20 road games, while the back half of the schedule (January, February, March and April) is the reverse.
Edmonton Oilers hockey is presented in part by the Rexall Family of Pharmacies, Molson Canadian, ATB Financial and Ford.

Traces of Drugs Pop Up in More Drinking Water
The latest installment in an investigation into the safety of drinking water around the country by the Associated Press has turned up more traces of pharmaceuticals in more places than previously thought.
The results suggest that drugs are present in water supplies of 46 million Americans, up from an estimate of 41 million in March. Among the latest areas to test positive were Reno, Nev., Savannah, Ga., and Colorado Springs, Colo. Drugs ranging from antidepressants to hormones have been found, generally in minuscule concentrations.
Most cities haven't tested their water for drug contamination, the AP said. Several, including Boston, Phoenix and Seattle, have been found to be uncontaminated. (Click on the map for more information.)
A water official in Fargo, N.D., told the AP that the parts-per-trillion concentrations of three drugs detected there were so low that he was seeking help from a health expert to put the information in perspective for the public.
For the same reason, we called Thomas Burke, director of the Risk Sciences and Public Policy Institute at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. He told us the drugs found have been in "incredibly low concentrations" and they don't appear to be "an immediate public health problem."
Still, he cautioned that even these low concentrations shouldn't be taken lightly because "the cumulative impact of exposure" to multiple medicines over time isn't known. It's worth remembering, he said, that unlike industrial chemicals, for instance, drugs are designed to have biological effects, a fact that intensifies concerns about even low levels of contamination.

OK - so we've got a confusion of terminology.
Most network services use a "client-server" model, where the
client is the program that's run by the person using the system,
and the server is the program that sits in the background, providing
the necessary information.
So conventionally, you'd describe the SolarWinds system (or
other management application) as the client, with the Net-SNMP
element being the server (which SNMP calls an "agent").

I repeat my suggestion from yesterday - don't bother with snmpconf.
Just create a simple text file, containing the single line
rocommunity public
(or whatever community string SolarWinds is configured to use),
and install this as the snmpd.conf file.
That should be sufficient to get things working.

DEAR CAROLYN: At church or other public functions, my ex-boyfriend comes up and greets my friends with kisses and hugs, when I am standing right there. He gives me a nod. This causes me no end of grief.
My question is about my friends' behavior. I think out of loyalty to me, they should not allow him to greet them so effusively -- or else, he should greet me with more than a nod. I spoke to one friend about it, and she said she would "try to remember," but I don't think that's good enough.
DEAR FRUSTRATED: "No end of grief"? That's almost as funny as what your ex is doing.
Yes, funny. When someone does such a clumsy job of insulting you (at church, no less!), it's a backhanded compliment. He's trying to deliver a scathing put-down, right? But the message he's actually sending is this: "I am a graceless dork." As put-downs go, he's brandishing a crayon scribble as if it's the Mona Lisa.
You have a range of appropriate responses, all of which will serve their purpose as long as you treat his behavior as the crayon scribble it is. A pointed, "Hello, Ralph," would do it. Or a gently teasing, "Really?"
No appropriate response, by the way, involves trying to control your friends. Cut that out.
One last thought: Could it be he's not aiming to insult, but instead is just hurt and at a loss for what to do? If what you know about him suggests that's possible, then your anger is misplaced and compassion would serve you better, in the form of modeling the civil way to manage this: Extend your hand, "Ralph, hi, good to see you." No lather, just rinse and repeat.
DEAR CAROLYN: My first marriage ended 15 years ago. It lasted eight years and did not end well. I was devastated when my ex-wife left me.
While we were married, she and I did a lot of world traveling and took many photos. I have since remarried, and my wife and I just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.
The photos from my travels are in a box in the garage. I haven't looked at them in more than 10 years. Included are photos of relatives and friends who have since died. Should I take a day and rummage through the photos to see the ones I want to keep or should I just throw the entire box away? It will be painful and emotional either way.
DEAR M.: I can't imagine throwing away photos of deceased loved ones just because I didn't want to feel bad for a day. It's like abandoning priceless archaeological relics because I don't want dirt under my nails.
If you're not up to seeing these images or having tough feelings right now, for whatever reason, then so be it -- that's what garage boxes are for. They keep things out from underfoot until you're ready to deal with them. Depending on the climate conditions, though, you might want to upgrade "garage" to "back of a closet"; you want any destruction of photos to be your decision, not mildew's.

ET Now spoke to Ashwani Gujral, Chief Market Strategist, ashwanigujral.com, on his take on Hero Honda and Bajaj Auto.
If some one has to choose between Hero Honda and Bajaj Auto what should they do?
For the day, Hero Honda seems to be having more momentum but on a positional basis Bajaj Auto looks very good because it has support around 1400 so from that perspective Bajaj Auto looks better but be very careful in Hero Honda that you do not get trapped at higher levels and the stock finally comes down because this could be a massive short covering and stocks could take a dip.

BENTON -- Scott County residents will get help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. County commissioners are hoping the county will get the same.
Amber Scudder, emergency management director, noted while meeting with commissioners Tuesday that a disaster declaration clearing the way for FEMA's Individual Assistance program was issued Friday evening,
"FEMA is here," Scudder said. "They are going house to house in the flooded areas making sure residents have registered with FEMA and to see if they need any help registering."
Public Assistance, which would provide financial assistance to the county from FEMA for public facilities such as roads, is still pending, however, Scudder said.
Scudder said she, the road and bridge department and the sheriff's department are all keeping track of "flood-only hours" for possible FEMA reimbursement.
"We are looking into some long-term solutions for some majorly flooded areas such as the Mini Farms and Ridgeview subdivisions," she added.
Scudder also presented information on FEMA's new flood plain maps.

Eric Holder
Valerie Jarrett
Shirley Sherrod
Republicans are orchestrating yet another mob attack on one of President Obama's African-American appointees. In this case, 97 House Republicans have signed a letter imploring Obama not to nominate Rice to replace Hillary Clinton. Yet they don't raise any of the possibly legitimate reasons to oppose Rice's appointment–her troubling record on Africa, her closeness to Obama.
These 97 Republicans don't even try to make this look like legitimate opposition. Instead, they rehash a Benghazi attack that hearings last week debunked.
Ambassador Rice is widely viewed as having either willfully or incompetently misled the American people in the Benghazi matter. Her actions plausibly give the U.S. (and rivals) abroad reason to question U.S. commitment and credibility when needed.
They don't know what the problem with Rice is, this mob of frothing Republicans. But if she's black, they seem to be saying, she must be either incompetent or deceitful.
This frothing mob includes such leading lights of the racist right as Steve King, Ted Poe, Louie Gohmert, Michelle Bachmann, and Tim Griffin, and such discredited hacks as Scott DesJarlais and Joe Wilson.
While Alan West signed the letter, along with several Latinos, the letter largely pits a bunch of white radicals against a single black woman whom they claim is not credible because she read talking points developed by the CIA.
This is not the act of reasoned legislators. It's a mob attack. A mob attack, like so many others, targeted blindly at an African-American professional appointed by our nation's first African-American President.
Remember the entire point of Karl Rove's plot to fire a bunch of US Attorneys and replace them with partisan hacks? It was to advance the political career of the new USAs.
Perhaps his most prominent success on that measure is Chris Christie. Though Christie abandons his state even in the face of blizzards–and then blames the resulting chaos on New Jersey's cities–he is still (implausibly) mentioned as a potential 2012 presidential candidate.
But the true measure of Rove's success at politicizing the DOJ comes in the form of Tim Griffin.
Griffin, you'll recall, has a history of leading the GOP's vote caging operations in 2000 and 2004. Seemingly to reward Griffin for doing such important dirty work–and also to boost the career of such a loyal hack–Rove pushed hardest to make sure that Griffin got the US Attorney position he wanted in his native Arkansas. And though he only stayed on the job until it became clear the Republicans were trying to "gum [his appointment] to death"–to basically run out the clock on any confirmation–he was actually only US Attorney for a matter of months.
No matter, between that and solid GOP backing, Griffin won election to Arkansas' 2nd Congressional District.
And now, TPMM reports, Griffin has been placed by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, the committee that spent months investigating the politicization of justice for which Griffin was the most obvious symbol.
Well, we had the equally corrupt Hans Von Spakovsky at the FEC (not to mention as head of DOJ's Civil Rights Division), so I guess we'll survive Tim Griffin's "oversight" of the Judiciary Department. But if you were in any doubt about Republican's goals to continue to politicize justice in this country, Griffin's selection for HJC should answer that question.
Remember the stated reason Karl Rove gave for firing a bunch of US Attorneys? He saw these US Attorney positions as a great stepping stone for rising political stars.
And now it looks like Mary Beth Buchanan, best known for her politicized prosecution of Dr. Cyril Wecht, may join Chris Christie and Tim Griffin in pursuit of elected office, in her case to run against Blue Dog Jason Altmire.
U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan is pondering a run for Congress to challenge Democrat Rep. Jason Altmire next fall.
Ms. Buchanan, a Republican and appointee of former President George W. Bush, has been considering a run for at least a month, Allegheny County Republican Party Chairman Jim Roddey said yesterday.
Mr. Roddey said he has met with her, and Ms. Buchanan is consulting with state and national Republican leaders to gauge support and her chances against the second-term Democrat from McCandless.
But remember. Buchanan is still the acting US Attorney. Which puts her in the same position Chris Christie got in when it came out he was working politics while still in office.
The county GOP leader said he did not see any ethical qualms with exploring a run while sitting as the chief federal prosecutor for Western Pennsylvania, and said Ms. Buchanan should step down only if she announces her candidacy.
Mr. Altmire, who said he has heard Ms. Buchanan's name mentioned as a possible opponent, disagreed.
"She's in a position that's supposed to be nonpolitical," Mr. Altmire said. "If that's true, I think it would be an inappropriate use of her time."
Who knows? Maybe like Christie she'll go on to boast about discussing offering AUSAs political jobs when she wins (though a Congresswoman would have fewer patronage jobs than a Governor to dole out). Or, maybe like Christie, it'll become clear she has no platform (save, in Christie's case, a plan to prevent women like Jane and me from getting mammograms) and her campaign will stall out.
In any case, it's probably time to start tracking these races as a whole (including whatever race Troy Eid decides he's going to run for) to monitor how effective the second part of Rove's scheme to politicize US Attorneys turns out to be.
I'm not surprised that the RNC is hiring former insta-US Attorney and expert vote cager Tim Griffin.
Indicating what lies ahead is the McCain campaign's plan to bring in Tim Griffin, a protege of Karl Rove, who is a leading practitioner of opposition research — digging up derogatory information about opponents. Although final arrangements have not been pinned down, Griffin would work at the Republican National Committee, as he did in Bush's 2004 re-election campaign.
I'm rather more struck by the timing.
Griffin's return comes just days after Mark McKinnon, who refused to use smear tactics to campaign against Obama, stepped down.
More alarming still, it comes just days after Hans von Spakovsky, whom Bush had selected to be the FEC's expert in disenfranchising brown people, gave up his bid for that position.
I guess the Republicans felt they couldn't run this year without having somebody in charge of disenfranchising brown people.
All of which leaves me wondering. If Tim Griffin helps McCain win the Presidency using the same methods he did in 2000 and 2004, how will President McCain reward him? Will he try to illegally fire Justice Souter and replace him with Tim Griffin?

Waging endless war in the Middle East means not only turning old enemies into allies but exposing our inability to free ourselves from the mechanisms of violence and collapse.

Since May 2007, 76 NATO soldiers have been killed and an undisclosed number wounded in 46 recorded "deliberate attacks" by members of the Afghan National Security Force. These figures suggest more than a recent "trend of Afghan treachery."
Mr. Fish
My first reaction to the video released recently of the four U.S. Marines urinating on the bodies of dead Afghans was that it was too ham-fisted and bombastic a metaphor to add anything of real value to the ongoing critique and analysis of this country's über-mortiferous foreign policy.
U.S. Army / Staff Sgt. Michael Bracken
New statistics show that the Afghan police force, upon whose shoulders eventual U.S. and British military withdrawal is based, is experiencing an unsustainable rate of attrition that sees one in five recruits bailing every year.
AP / Farzana Wahidy
Hamid Karzai is having issues in his second term as Afghanistan's president. It seems that the Afghan parliament has nixed 17 of his 24 Cabinet nominees.
Want proof that the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan has brought the democracy it promised? You won't find it in this case. An appeals court resentenced Parwez Kambakhsh, a student arrested for distributing an article on women's rights, to a mere 20 years in prison, overturning the controversial death sentence he was given last year.
Lawyers for 25 men being held in Afghanistan filed a habeas corpus petition in advance of Bush's plan to outlaw that exact motion.
If Congress isn't going to stand up to Bush on this travesty of a law, it's good to see that some parties are.
From Stephanie Sinclair / The New York Times
The N.Y. Times presents a photo essay on girls as young as 11 being married off to men three or four times their age, sometimes to settle gambling debts. The last line of the accompanying textual essay is as heartbreaking as anything you'll ever read.
Afghan authorities are planning on releasing the man who faced the death penalty for converting to Christianity, but they will base the action on a technicality. So a showdown with the U.S. still looms.
In light of the possible death sentence faced by the Afghan who converted to Christianity, a popular secular radio talk show host sounds off about the insanity of faith….
From Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone / Yahoo! News
Pioneering war zone journalist Kevin Sites tells the story of a 12-year-old Afghan girl who was savagely beaten and tortured for years by her in-laws. But wonderfully, the story ends on a note of optimism. (You can even e-mail the girl here. Or at this e-mail address: email@example.com)
He converted to Christianity 16 years ago as an aid worker in Pakistan, an offense punishable by death under Sharia law. (Above: A judge holds the accused's Bible.)

By Chrystal Smith (USAG Wiesbaden)February 14, 2012
WIESBADEN, Germany - They may be far from the battlefield, but their efforts go a long way toward protecting Soldiers in harm's way.
"We are here for the Soldier and civilian … supplying them with equipment on a daily basis so they can succeed at their jobs," said Teresa Hill, Wiesbaden Central Issue Facility customer service manager.
Located on Wiesbaden Army Airfield in Building 1039 and in Building 8716 in Baumholder, the CIF staffs manage an inventory of about $62 million in military gear.
In addition to inventory management, the staff handles the issuing of required military equipment to Soldiers and some special category civilians.
"In-processing at the CIF is a very smooth transaction," said Bruce Smith, Wiesbaden and Baumholder CIF manager, who said a typical visit includes a briefing from the staff, a review of a Soldier's inventory items and the endorsing of one's clothing record.
When Soldiers process through CIF, they usually acquire items that make up the collection called Organizational Clothing Items and Equipment, formerly known as TA-50 gear. The equipment currently being issued is more advanced than that of previous years, and has evolved in design. The colors and design went from olive drab green to woodland, desert, universal and Operation Enduring Freedom camouflage patterns. "Some Soldiers have a combination of each pattern," said Smith, who has the responsibility of ensuring the facilities are stocked with the best quality of Army equipment.
"If we don't have something, we work extra to ensure the customer gets the needed item," said Hill who told of a recent situation where the staff helped a Soldier procure items in order to deploy. "The Soldier was missing a number of items. He needed boots, (a certain uniform) and (interceptor body armor) gear. We reached out to a few places and he got everything he needed to get on the plane."
CIF manages accountability of inventory through the Installation Support Module, a vast Army Materiel Command database that is connected to Army Knowledge Online. Soldiers can access their individual clothing records through AKO, but the CIF staff stands ready and is able to assist if that system fails.
"Many of them know they can use AKO, but they come to us because they trust our system a little more," said Hill.
Once the Soldier accepts responsibility of the issued items, it is his or her responsibility to maintain accountability of the issued items. "Soldiers have to pay for lost items … and this equipment is not cheap," said Hill, who further explained that repayment is determined after a Financial Liability Investigation of Property Loss is performed. Depending on what a Soldier is issued, one could amass a collection of gear that could exceed one year's pay of an E1, said Smith.
"A deploying Soldier is issued an average of $15,000 worth of equipment," said Smith. "A large part of the value is from items like body armor and special protective gear they use when they deploy."
Because the revelation of a lost item often happens as a Soldier is out-processing -- when permanently changing duty stations or separating from the military -- CIF clerks advise Soldiers to do regular inventory checks of gear and return any duplicated items found while performing such checks.
If a Soldier finds items are missing or misplaced after doing a personal inventory check, he or she can contact the CIF to replace the lost item. However, this is only a temporary fix until the lost item is recovered.
"Just stop by and we will have the Soldier sign a hand receipt and issue him or her a replacement," said Hill.
Contact the Baumholder CIF at mil 485-7470 or civ (06783) 6-7470 for more information. In Wiesbaden, call 337-5183/5653 or civ (0611) 705-5183/5653. (Tim Brown, supply management specialist for the Directorate of Logistics, contributed to this article.)

VICKSBURG, Miss. -- The Mississippi River Commission' annual low-water inspection trip in the Missouri Basin is under way and will include a stop in Southeast Missouri.
The inspection started Sunday in North Dakota traveling the basin to the confluence with the Mississippi then on the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers. During their tour, two public meetings are scheduled aboard the Motor Vessel Mississippi within the Corps' Memphis District so commission members have the opportunity to meet with local residents and hear their concerns, ideas and issues.
At 9 a.m. Monday, there will be a public meeting with their vessel docks at the City Front in Caruthersville. Another meeting is planned for 9 a.m. Tuesday at Mud Island River Park in Memphis, Tenn.
All meetings are open to the public.

While the diagnosis of renal tuberculosis in the presence of tubercle bacilli in an acid urine, frequent and painful urination, pyuria, hematuria, albuminuria and pain in the kidney region is obviously simple, any or all of these symptoms may be lacking and its detection correspondingly difficult. The absence of tubercle bacilli from the urine in the presence of renal involvement is not uncommon in the early stage of the closed parenchymatous type of infection before extension to the pelvis of the kidney has occurred, while later failure to demonstrate the bacillus is more often due to occlusion of a tuberculous ureter. In addition, there are also intervals during which, even though the ureter is patent and the process involves the renal pelvis, the urine contains no tubercle bacilli, just as in pulmonary tuberculosis the sputum is occasionally free from these organisms. Of considerable interest in this connection are Hobbs' 1

Officials are meeting Thursday with parents and children shaken up by yesterday's fatal shooting at a Minnesota high school.
School officials say the meetings were organized to provide a forum to talk about the shootings and to let people know about counseling services available.
One student was killed and another is in critical condition after another student opened fire at the school in Cold Spring.
Authorities aren't identifying the 15-year-old freshman now in custody. They say he's cooperating with the investigation but a motive hasn't been determined. Several media outlets and students say the suspect's father is a sheriff's deputy.
Although many schools in the area remain open, Ricori High is closed at least until Friday.
The mother of a freshman who was among many students locked down as authorities raced to the shooting scene says her daughter has no fear about returning to school. And a student at Ricori says he'd like to get back to school and talk about what happened.

Ronaldo pulled out of Madrid's final game of the season with Espanyol during the warm-up. With no chance of winning the league following a 2-0 defeat to Celta Vigo during the previous week, it was cited as a precautionary measure, and Ancelotti has since confirmed that the Portuguese forward, along with Bale, will be fit for the Champions League final in Lisbon.
"Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo will play and that's the most important thing," Ancelotti said in Tuesday press conference.
Ronaldo sat out Tuesday's training session in favour of completing an individual workout with the club's physiotherapist but confirmed he would not be hampered in any way for the final.
"I will be 100% fit for the final. The Décima is the trophy every Madridista wants to win," he said.
"It is my first day out on the pitch and I feel ok and happy. Playing during the week and weekends means it is normal that the body has a negative response.
"Unfortunately I have had a few problems but if you look around Europe the same thing is happening and players are getting injured.
"Nobody wants to miss a final, a final we have been aiming for and it is obviously important. If the body can't do it then it is not the end of the world but I will be there, I am confident."
Ancelotti also praised Bale for his contribution this season.
"Bale's had a good season despite the problems he had in the beginning. He has had a big impact. He has helped us a lot this season. He is in an excellent physical shape"
Ancelotti did however say that Pepe and Karim Benezema were still doubtful for the clash but that Sami Khedira was available for selection.
"We must be realistic - at this moment (Pepe and Benzema) can't play. We have four days, we will take the decision at the end.
"I am not optimistic or pessimistic. Right now they wouldn't be able to play but we are not taking the decision now. If Pepe isn't ready then Varane would take his place."
"Even if (Benzema) has not trained for these days, if there is no risk of injury, he will play.
"Khedira has not played many games, that's only problem he has. He has no problems with his knee, he is ready to play."

Changes could be in store for Andover schools as the district looks at drawing new boundaries.
Greg Rasmussen, USD 385 superintendent, said enrollment the last few years has grown, and is now steady. It's just one of the reasons why the district may have to adjust to keep up with the volume.
"As we look at our enrollment trends and our changes, we always need to look at what is best for our kids and what that balance is," Rasmussen said.
Since December, the district has been meeting with parents, teachers, students and administrators to talk about what's best: stay the same, or re-draw the boundaries to accommodate current and future students.
Right now, more than 5,000 students are enrolled at 11 schools in the district.
The boundary committee says there is concern about busing students across town and classroom over-crowding.
Marissa Blount, parent, said the idea of re-drawing the boundaries, makes sense.
"Meadowlark is the largest elementary school and there's the fewest number of students," Blount said. "So there's wasted space sitting there while other kids are crammed into classrooms. I prefer a boundary change than the district building a new school when we have space here."
Michelle Fuksa, parent, said she worries her kids will have to attend another school if the lines are re-drawn. Others say they'll consider moving to keep things the same.
"That would be something we'd have to reconsider because I love the school and I love the small class sizes," Fuksa said.
At a meeting Tuesday night, parents got their first look at the proposed changes. Reaction was mixed.
Deanna Deutsche sees the changes from two perspectives. She's both a teacher and a parent.
Deutscher was one of more than a hundred parents to turn out for a first look at the Andover district's plans for changing who goes to what school.
"Nobody likes transition.Transition's hard," she said. "And in a year with our Common Core, and we've gone through our new curriculum adoption, it becomes pretty difficult."
"I would say from a district as a whole they're not so drastic," said Rasmussen about the proposed sets of changes. "But if it's your kids involved, they're definitely drastic."
Brian Lindebak is concerned that some of the scenarios not only have students from his neighborhood switching schools but going to multiple different schools.
"We would like to keep our neighborhood going to the same schools as presently planned," said Lindebak.
He plans to make sure the district knows what he thinks about each of the three plans. just as the district is asking him to do.
"I think there's one that stands out to me, there's one that makes more sense," said Lindebak.
The three plans would all allow current middle and high school students, and their younger siblings, to choose to stay at their current schools. But they would be responsible for their own transportation after the changes go into effect.
New students and families with just elementary students would have to attend schools based on the new boundaries.
The district's three proposed plans are available on its website. If you weren't able to make Tuesday night's meeting the district asks you to check out the plans online and leave your comments there.
The district says, nothing is set in stone., but it has to look forward.
The board of education is meeting next week where it will vote on the boundary committee's recommendations. Changes will most likely not go into effect until 2015.

text: This Holy Rosary booklet is a handy, simple resource for teaching someone how to pray the rosary. Although a thin booklet, it is nicely made and is a great companion to a rosary you're giving as a gift. On the cover is artwork of Our Lady of Lourdes. Inside the front cover and on the first page are instructions on how to pray the rosary, complete with a rosary replica explaining each decade. The inside pages feature the mysteries of the Holy Rosary with thumbnail images of famous Catholic art depicting each individual mystery. A Bible verse accompanies each mystery, so this rosary booklet is also a good abbreviated introduction to praying a scriptural rosary. The back cover features the Litany of Loreto, which is the litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This booklet is a great choice if you want to give someone a resource for praying the rosary, but you want something that looks nice enough to be considered a thoughtful gift.
