V845 boys' swimming preview: Crumm prepared to lead Minisink
SLATE HILL — James Crumm's junior swimming season at Minisink Valley ended at the state championships on March 3.
Crumm, now a senior, hasn't exactly had what one might call an offseason.
Ever since the state meet, he's been training six days a week for his club team, Aqua Gems. As during the high school season, Crumm's club team competes in meets all over the Hudson Valley, as well as a few out-of-state meets.
During summer vacation, he also squeezed in two-hour practices starting at 6:30 a.m. at SUNY Orange. In addition to regular dry-land workouts, Crumm hit the weight room three times a week.
During the high school season, Crumm often swims for 21/2 hours with his Minisink Valley team before heading off to do another two hours with the Aqua Gems.
All the hard work paid off, as Crumm recently signed a letter of intent to swim for Division I Niagara University, where he also plans to study physical therapy.
"Niagara stood out because the coach was extremely friendly," Crumm said of Ben Nigro. "He pretty much won me over. The team was all friendly. They took me out to breakfast and fed me a bunch of food. I watched their practice and it just felt like a family."
As much as he enjoys swimming for his club team year-round, it's that sense of family that motivates Crumm during the high school season.
"Honestly, it's nothing compared to a varsity team, a high school team," he said of his club team. "We're just closer, especially this team."
Fact Box
Swimmers to watch
Dylan Burns, Sr., Cornwall: Burns is the top returning swimmer in the 50-yard freestyle, having placed fifth behind four seniors last season. He's also a key member of the Dragons' relay teams.
Hudson Carroll, Jr., New Paltz: Carroll is Section 9's reigning champion in the 100 backstroke and also led the Huguenots' 200 medley relay team to a state title last year.
Jared Charleston, Sr., Monroe-Woodbury: Charleston placed second in the 100 butterfly and finished fourth in the 200 freestyle at the Section 9 meet last year. He was also a key member of the Crusaders' 200 and 400 freestyle relay teams.
Nicholas Fry, Fr., Newburgh Free Academy: Fry placed third on the diving board at the Section 9 meet last year as an eighth-grader.
Stephen Lowe, Sr., Pine Bush: Lowe was third in both the 100 and 200 freestyle events at the section meet last season. He'll be a veteran leader for the four-time defending Section 9 champions.
Setting goals
It's typical for high school coaches and swimmers to set goals before each season, whether it be qualifying for the section meet or challenging for a state title.
Crumm, Section 9's defending champion in the 100-yard freestyle, isn't all that worried about his individual accomplishments.
"I'm looking forward to this season, not for personal goals, but team goals," he said. "I'm more excited for the team's accomplishments than mine. I like watching other people do better."
Crumm was a near-unanimous choice for team captain, earning 40 of the 41 votes. He declined to vote for himself.
A high school swim team presents an interesting challenge for team leaders. Crumm has 40 teammates, ranging from seventh-graders to seniors, all of them with varying levels of talent, ability and experience.
Defining his role as captain as part motivator, part guidance counselor, Crumm figures most of all it's about being a good teammate.
"I want to see them improve in academics, physically and even emotionally," Crumm said. "Some kids say they can't do it, but sometimes they can. And their times, obviously. And working together and everything, really. If I see that, I feel like I've been a good captain."
Crumm may be modest about his own goals, but Minisink Valley coach Brian Golden is expecting a big year from his senior captain, thanks in large part to his versatility.
"The beauty of James Crumm is that he can swim in any event," Golden said. "I don't know how many kids in the section can say that. He can swim any event and probably be first or second in the section. Most of the time he's going to win any event. That's the 50, that's the 500, that's the breaststroke, that's the backstroke, that's the butterfly. That's what makes him so special. He's very good at every event."

CARCINOMA of the defunctionalized bladder is considered a rare entity. Eleven cases have been reported.1-8 Diagnosis is often delayed and sometimes is an unexpected finding at cystectomy. We report a case that illustrates this problem and review the literature.
Report of a Case
A 52-year-old woman underwent urinary diversion in 1960 because of incontinence related to spina bifida and paraplegia. Aside from a left ureterolithotomy in 1974, she had no problems referable to her urinary tract and no signs or symptoms of vesical irritation or pyocystis. In February 1981, she reported a five-month history of "bleeding from the vagina." Gynecologic evaluation, including Papanicolaou's smear and dilatation and curettage, gave normal findings. Five months later, because of persistent bleeding, her bladder was catheterized and 50 mL of blood was aspirated. Once it was recognized that the bleeding was from the bladder, urologic evaluation ensued. Cystoscopy demonstrated an inflammatory mucosal lesion

Skip to comments.Mother forced to give birth alone in toilet of 'flagship' NHS hospital (Democrat Party HealthCare)
Posted on 08/21/2007 1:43:32 AM PDT by FormerACLUmember
A young mother had to deliver her own baby in the lavatory of a flagship hospital because there were no trained midwives available.
Surveyor Catherine Brown had made the agonising decision to undergo a chemically-induced abortion after being told her 18-week pregnancy was risking her life.
But when the time came to give birth she was on an ear, nose and throat ward and had only her mother to help her through the ordeal. Her premature son Edward died in her arms minutes later.
The traumatised mother-of-one said: "I just howled and howled. I remember sitting there looking at him and thinking, 'What do I do next?'. I just sat there on the toilet looking at my dead baby.
"It was dreadful - a terrible nightmare. Then I started crying my eyes out and repeating, 'I'm sorry baby, I'm so sorry'. I still can't believe the hospital had no trained staff who could help me."
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
The "Flagship" is presumably the "Titanic".
Well she decided to chemically abort it and the "delivery" was the result. I don't call that "giving birth", even if she was told to abort it for her own health reasons.
Not to say that she should have had to do it alone!
One major difference between the US and the rest of the world is that our nation does everything to save premature babies, and allow them to go to delivery, etc. This results ultimately in an artificially higher infant mortality rates.
An example of this is the recent birth of Canadian Quadruplets in the USA, since there are no adequate functioning intensive care for premies even in Canada's wealthier provinces.
This baby would be more likely to be alive in the US. In the UK, this baby and mom were put in servere harm's way by total neglect. The mom in fact was essentially coerced into a nightmare unnecessary pregnancy termination.
You point is well taken, but see post 5.
Mother forced to give birth alone in toilet of 'flagship' NHS hospital (U.K.)
Mother forced to give birth alone in toilet of 'flagship' NHS hospital (Democrat Party HealthCare) - previously posted....but.....
still the plan that the piaps will bring to a healthcare plan...coming to you soon!!!
You'll never grow old, with Hillary-Care.
If the state is footing the bill, there is no way they are going to pay the hundreds of thousands of dollars required to maintain the life of a premature infant. This story may be bad PR for a day, but from the state's point of view, they saved a heck of a lot of money.
Beautiful. I think I'll steal it!
Ah, but it was free.
I was thinking just like you.
This thing about a mother's "health", well that's their code word for...."anybody, anytime".
What possible danger to a healthy young woman's life can carrying a foetus, in this case at what....18 weeks?
Anything is possible, I know...but what are the odds?
The libs will ram this, too, down your throat one millimeter at a time until the likes of you have been sold.
Welcome to the nanny state, where Hillary would at leaset "care" for you.
In Britain you must call ahead to the emergency room to see if they can fit you and your emergency in.
I read the Daily Mail pretty regularly and the medical fiasco's are unconscionable.
She didn't give birth. This was an abortion which the child survived for a few moments in an incompetent hospital.
You have to wonder if American doctor's would have said "hey, we can save your baby AND you". Europe's answer is always to kill the child.
I do wonder what is not being told in this story. A UTI should be treatable. A hemmorhage may or may not stop, but if it's serious enough that the woman's life is directly threatened she should be under constant care - I would guess she should have a C-section to stop the bleeding at once. I've heard of a number of cases of oligohydraminos (low amniotic fluid) eventually resolving themselves - but that's not in itself a direct threat to the mother. And ultrasounds have given false readings.
Now if the amniotic membranes had ruptured and were infected - that is a direct threat, and I don't think the pregnancy is salvageable.
They would have had to be able to prolong the pregnancy for six weeks for the baby to have had a chance. 18 weekers don't survive anywhere.
Mrs VS
Frankly, I think it is surprising and appropriate that they called it "giving birth." At least that's admitting that the little boy they killed was a human being, more than the usual drivel.
It's articles like this that make me wonder how the human race made it this far.
Good time to purchase incinerator manufacturers stock.
brilliant cartoon: post 23
Not at 18 weeks. But in principle, the point you make is true.
Not at 18 weeks, yes. She was told was doomed if she carried to term, which I don't see justification for. By aborting all potential problem babies, the infant mortality rates for the UK and its ilk are all lower than the USA.
"Now if the amniotic membranes had ruptured and were infected - that is a direct threat, and I dont think the pregnancy is salvageable.
They would have had to be able to prolong the pregnancy for six weeks for the baby to have had a chance. 18 weekers dont survive anywhere."
It does sound like there was somethig amiss with the membrane and possible infection.
Then the question remains - how do deal with that condition?
Obviously the approach here was to initiate an abortion.
It is too bad the focus isn't on working to find a solution to this particular problem.
Are they trying to figure out how to save babies when the membranes have ruptured or leaked? How to save them when infection sets in?
It doesn't sound like this woman intended to abort this pregnancy, and if abortion weren't such an "easy" solution to difficult pregnancies I wonder how many risky situations like this could be treated if the researchers would concentrate on that.
And where was the father of the baby during this ordeal? Nevermind. [/elephant-in-the-room]
That's over four months. I thought only the first trimester was critical for potential miscarriage. Of babies, I mean, not of justice.
Yes, and worth every penny. And that is the central fact of socialism - it is always sold to the public as saving money, but in fact what it systematically does is to outlaw whatever is not cheap.
Hillary and the Democrats speak of "quality health care," but the reality of socialism is that you cannot eliminate top quality, bleeding-edge health care and still maintain even the current standard of normal care. That is so because, as Tom Peters pointed out in In Search of Excellence, if you stop trying to improve you will not maintain where you were, you will go backward.
Furthermore, the mission of the United States is "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. And the "blessings of liberty" include the vigorous entrepreneurship which continuously improve both the quality and the economy of the things and services we want. To stop improving health care now would be to betray our grandchildren, who deserve to mature to our age and pity us for the almost primitive nature of our health care compared to that which is our legacy to them - just as you and I pity our grandparents and even our parents for the relatively primitive health care which was available to them.
My own mother had a kidney removed about 25 years ago, and the incision was nearly halfway around the circumference of her body. Today that same operation would do so little collateral damage that you would be able to leave the hospital a day after the surgery. I don't know how exactly they will make similar improvements in surgery over the next two generations - but surely it would be folly to close the patent office on the assumption that "everything has already been invented."
"since there are no adequate functioning intensive care for premies even in Canadas wealthier provinces."
my niece was born very premature in Victoria BC.. she's 5 now.
Denial is amazing.
If there was adequate functioning intensive care for premies in Canada, the quadruplets would not have been sent to the US.
Case closed!
18 weeks IMHO is not viable and therefore this was never an option but she should not have been left alone to give birth to a child and even more horrific that the child would be born alive but could not survive.
It is a shame that that medically they could not have given her another few weeks and then induced labour but I presume the risk to her life was too great to do so and by that time the child would have probably died given the medical reasons for the termination.
I know several people who have had very small babies survive but IMHO this one was just too small and young regardless of the circumstance.
IMHO the mother/grandmother should sue the hospital, the local NHS trust and the individual nursing staff who did not administer their duty of care.
When dad had his hip op he was told that the reason for the delay was an 8 hour op on a very young, very sick baby but babies always take priority.
As is in all countries you cannot have a unit in every town and an ambulance journey maybe necessary but that I am certain would also be true in the US.
We have patients in the UK from all over the world because they want a particular treatment or doctor not available in their country.
It does not necessarily mean it is not available in their country but not the treatment they want or can afford.
Also before you say it yes Brits also travel elsewhere for treatment because as yet it may not have been approved in Britain or they are taking part in research medicine.
Also sometimes if they want something quicker than on the NHS and cannot afford to pay private in Britain they may go somewhere else in the world where it is cheaper. Often have the op travel back and then get back into the NHS sytem for aftercare, called using the system.
Hey! I am an anglophile, but I am not an idiot.
The answer to your comment is "Yes and no." PRIVATE British medicine is often excellent. The SOCIALIZED NHS is less than adequate. In fact it is the among the worst in Europe.
A woman I know gave birth alone in a broom closet at her official NHS facility without staff, because they were full and understaffed.
I don't know the details of the medical reasons to induce this abortion, but I suspect they may have been dubious as well.
Precisely! She was lied to and told she would in harms way if she had a baby.
Provided they aren't aborted...
I don't know the reasons for this inducing, but I find it dubious, at 18 weeks, you are 1 month or less from a fighting chance of viability, and 2 months from an good chance.
I'd like to know what exactly the diagnosis was that lead to recommendation for induction.
Color me skeptical, but forcing an abortion, particularly with no staff around is far more likely to have complications that would harm the mothers life.

TaylorMade got away from their core audience last year, and new CEO Ben Sharpe knows it.
The SLDR was released with less fanfare than they expected, and it took TM too long to realize that the "Loft Up" features of the club were more important than the moving weights. They tried to rescue that later in 2014 with the SLDR-S, but that line's overlap with the underwhelming JetSpeed just gave TaylorMade a muddled lineup.
The familiar "R" and Burner lines were no where to be found, and the RocketBallz line with which TM had so much commercial success was similarly jettisoned. The entire lineup was blue and grey, and they never quite decided whether they wanted the club crowns to be white, black, or somewhere in between.
TaylorMade's new lineup brings back some of the old standbys, while incorporating the technology that got lost last year.

I might sound like a broken record at this point, but I LOVE that sweater weather is here. And there are so many ways to wear the winter staple: a dressy turtleneck, Danica's cute and kitschy holiday knits, Becky's après ski picks. And Tuesday night, at the Dallas-meets-Paris Chanel pre-fall runway extravaganza, Miroslava Duma surprised us with an unexpected way to wear a cable V-neck. (And don't forget to vote for your favorite best dressed at the show!)
Via Instagram/NaseebsThe fashion world It Girl inventively layered a sporty sweater from the Chanel resort 2014 collection over a winter-white lace frock for a tennis-court-to-high-tea outfit. She makes it work with her pro-styling (alluring décolletage and breezy off-one-shoulder draping) and ladylike accessories: a pearl choker and two-toned pumps. Of course, Miraduma's effortless attitude and impossibly chic wing-ladies finish off the look.
French music producer-model Caroline de Maigret, Miroslava, and Argentine art director Sofía Sanchez Barrenechea strike a pose at the after-party via Instagram/miraduma
While Miroslava wore her pretty-preppy sweater outfit to a high-fashion bash—albeit complete with a mechanical bull (you need to watch this) and Frito pie—you could give it a try for date night or a drinks with the girls at the latest cool-kid hangout. Shop out some Miroslava-inspired outfits here:
While Miroslava's ensemble is unexpected, I really like it! Do you? Where would you wear it?

Isotopes stop Zephyrs, 6-4
Published: Wednesday, August 3, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 3, 2011 at 10:43 a.m.
METAIRIE — Ivan De Jesus Jr. singled home the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth, and the Albuquerque Isotopes avoided a four-game sweep by defeating the New Orleans Zephyrs, 6-4, on Tuesday afternoon at Zephyr Field.
With the game tied 4 in the ninth, Jay Gibbons led off with a pinch-hit single. After Bradley Coon reached on a fielder's choice and stole second, De Jesus singled through the hole at shortstop, allowing Coon to score the eventual winning run.
Albuquerque tacked on an insurance run on an RBI single by Russ Mitchell.
Vinny Rottino went 3-for-3 for New Orleans.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
All Seasons Pools was contracted to install our inground pool in June of 2013. As of September 30, 2013 the installation has not been completed. This is due to defective workmanship on the excavation, gunite installation, improper installation of pavers & coping and improper installation of Screen room. This company has failed county inspections on several occasions and hs been Red Tagged by the county. All Seasons has no supervision on the projects and forces the home owners to attempt to fulfill that roll. They have now torn the screen enclosure back down, removed several of the perimeter pavers, removed stack stone from exterior walls and were attempting to re-spray gunite. When questioned as to if they were going to pressure wash the gunite and bring to SSD standard prior to spraying new gunite, they avoided answering the question. As of this point, we are seeking legal council. [continued below]....

EFT Level 1 & 2, May 13-15, Washington, D.C.
"I feel honored to have been a part of Lynne and Betty's first group of EFT Certification trainees! The healing energy flowing through our small group was palpable. I am leaving with a strong base of knowledge on the art of using EFT, excitement about putting this knowledge to use in my practice, and a desire to continue to learn and study." - Marie Black, MA, LPC
EFT Level 2: Building Your Skills
"I just want to thank all of you again for the incredible weekend! I have already put my new skills to work. I arrived home on Sunday and my daughter had a sore calf from a dance rehearsal. She and I tapped on the pain and she was AMAZED at how it vanished. Today at work, I had an 11 year old client in tears due to the death of her cat. She and her mother tapped with me and, again, she couldn't thank me enough for the help. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" - Mandy Tolson

What I hear time and time again is to stop using isn't the hardest part of recovery, it is "living life on life's terms". Addiction is often called a "feelings disease" as the challenge is dealing with all these feelings without substances…
Without missing a beat, Laurence, fairly inebriated herself, told Maude, "Just do everything I do." Right there in their corner of the metro, she showed Maude where to put her fingers on her karate chop point and led her through a few rounds of tapping.
If there is a difficult date in your past, you may want to consider doing a little pre-emptive tapping on any remaining feelings you have about what happened. You too could end up feeling fine, or even fabulous, as you release and reframe the past!

Skill Level Beginner
Sometimes your job won't be designing the latest and greatest interface. Instead, it might be to fix images, which have been sent to you by the client. Sometimes these images are too dark or too bright. Sometimes there is too much contrast or they may display a strange color shift. We can address a variety of these concerns using the Levels dialog box, and Fireworks allow us to do this in both a permanent or in an editable manner. The first thing I'm going to show you is the permanent way of making a change. By permanent, I mean you'll also hear the term destructive. We're permanently changing the pixel values in the image.
So I want to make sure, first of all, that my image is selected. I'm just going to scroll down a little bit on my image, so we can see more of it. I'll go up to my Filters menu and go to Adjust Color. I have an option down here at the bottom called Levels. Now we've looked at the Levels dialog box briefly in other lessons, but I just want to go over this in a bit more detail this time. Levels dialog box gives you control over the range of brightness in your scene. If you take a look in the middle here, we have this chart.
Now there is not too much going on with the chart at the moment, but down below that little hill or bump that you see in the Histogram, you'll see three sliders: a black slider, a gray slider and a white slider. The black slider controls the distribution of dark tones, gray slider controls the midtones, and the white slider controls the highlights. Now we can alter these settings in a couple of different ways. We can literally drag the sliders, sort of to eyeball our settings. We can also apply values into the Input levels above.
Now I'd like to do this visually, so I'm going to work with the sliders. I'm going to grab my Shadow slider here and drag it in. As I'm dragging it in, I get to the point where I start to see some information show up in our little chart, or histogram, I'll let go over the slider, and you notice an instant change to the image overall. All of a sudden, it's got contrast again. It's got some punch to it. That's just by redistributing the Midtones into more of a Shadow area. So we end up with a little more contrast in the image.
Then you might also have noticed that as I was dragging that black slider, that the gray slider moves at the same time. The Midtones slider will move in conjunction with the Highlight or the Shadow sliders. So I'll just bring that back in there a bit. I'm going to go over to my Highlights and to be honest, I don't really need to do much with the Highlights. The Highlights really, in this case, are the sky. It's a bright white sky; I don't need it to be any whiter than it already is. So I don't need to worry about changing the Highlights settings, but I will do though is take a look at my Midtones.
Notice what happens as I drag that Midtones slider towards the Highlights. If I let go, you'll see, we're getting a bit more contrast, a bit more density. If I drag it towards the Shadow side, we reduce the contrast, which in this case, doesn't look all that good. So we're going to go back a little bit towards the Highlights a bit. There we go. That gives me a significantly better quality image. Now if I deselect the Preview for a second, that's the original image. That's where we started with.
Just by making those two changes to the Shadow and Midtones sliders, we've got a significantly more visually appealing image. I'm going to click OK. And I mentioned a minute ago, that this was a destructive tool and what I meant by that is that we've permanently changed the image. We've permanently altered the pixels. So if I was to save this file right now, and close it, and reopen it, what you see on the screen at the moment is what you get when you reopen the file. I can't undo the changes to the file, once I've saved it.
I can, however, undo them right now while it's still open. So I'm going to press Ctrl+Z or Command+ Z on the Mac. That brings me back to my Original. And the reason I want to go back to the original is I want to show you a more editable and less destructive way of doing the same kind of thing, and that's by using Live Filters. Now if you take a look down in the Properties panel, you'll see two Live Filters are already set in place. Well, they're having X beside them, which means they are currently turned off. This is what I mean about the great thing about Live Filters. These were applied previously, and they've just been turned off, so that the effect is hidden from view.
So I can do what I want. I can save the file. These Filters are kept as part of the actual file, and I can turn them on, turn them off, or edit them as I please. So let's see what's going on with these two things, and we'll take a look at how we got them applied. I'm going to click on the first little x. This application of the Levels filter is doing the same thing that out permanent filter had done. We're basically beefing up the contrast. Now the other thing I noticed with the image was it was a little off color, overcast day and so on. So I also used the Levels to adjust the overall color balance.
We'll see what that effect looks like, and then we'll walk through the process of doing it. By activating that secondary filter, you can see the color has shifted a little bit as well, and it probably shifted a little bit too far in one direction, but that's fine. We're going to be making our own changes here. But those two Filters basically gave me the ability to control the overall look of the image. So I'm going to turn them off again, and we're going to apply them ourselves. I'm going to click on the Plus sign for adding a new filter. We'll go to Adjust Color, and choose Levels, and we see basically the same thing that we saw before.
I'm just going to move that dialog box out of the way a bit, and I'm going to drag my black slider to where my Histogram begins. I'll drag my Midtones slider a bit towards the Highlights to get the result that I want and click OK. Now if I take a look down in my Properties panel, you'll see, there at the bottom of my Filters list, that recently applied Levels, okay, so it's still turned on. We're going to add one more, and I'll show you how to do some color correction with it.
Click on the Plus sign again, and choose Adjust Color, and choose Levels yet again. This time rather than experimenting with the contrast and saturation of the image, I want to play around with the color. So again, I'm going to move this in a dialog box a little bit out of the way, so I can see my image, and I'm going to go into the Channels. One of the things I think that's wrong with this is it might be a little bit too blue, a little bit too cold. So I'm going to go to my Blue Channel, and I still see the same set of sliders, but now I am going to be affecting the two complementary colors, blue and yellow.
If I drag my black slider in, I'm essentially adding more yellow. You might notice that I might have to make it a little extreme to be obvious. So I'll just go really heavy. You can see now I'm getting a much yellow-er image. So I think I'll drag that back out a bit, somewhere in that range there. The white slider actually represents the Blue tones. So if I drag the white slider in, I'll actually be adding Blue, and you can notice it's mostly up in the background, in the highlights, and in the dirt areas of the landscape.
Now that really is not helping things at all. So I'm going to bring that back to where it was. The Midtones slider, we'll just sort of play with the balance of blue versus yellow. There we go, and I think that looks a heck of a lot better. I'm going to hide the effect. There is the Original. It's a subtle change, but it just looks much more inviting with that little bit of extra yellow added in there. Click OK, and those two filters are now part of our image. I can save this file.
I'll be saving it as a Fireworks PNG file to maintain the editability of those filters. But the great thing is I can come back to them later on and edit them anytime I like. So never assume that a photograph can't be made a bit better. Even if it looks good to begin with, and granted this one didn't look great to begin with, but even if it looks good to begin with, using tools like Levels may improve things noticeably, and it's quick to try out and especially with the Live Filters versions, you have no worry of permanently affecting the image, so you can experiment as much as you want to get comfortable with, improving the color and the saturation, the richness of your images without any worry of actually permanently affecting the final image.

It's been a long week since Bull Run. I apologize for my long silence after the event. When you live in an old Victorian house with no central air and shut it up and go away for several days of 90+ heat strange things happen. Although my computer did not die from the heat, it did have a nervous breakdown and is just now getting back on its feet.
I send along a thank you to the NR from General Markijohn. I strongly echo his sentiments and double the thanks to you all. To those of you who had the great good sense not to come to this event at all, I congratulate you. To those of us who didn't and came out anyway, I can't express to you my admiration for your fortitude and strength. The one thing that struck me more than anything else about the weekend (aside from our rabid stupidity for being there) was the constant good humor that prevailed throughout the NR during the course of the event. Other than the seemingly good natured griping about the weather, I did not hear ONE harsh word spoken in anger. From all I did hear over the weekend however, I think we all need to consider our participation in these extremely hot weather events. Something to be discussed at the winter meeting in November.
I would be remiss if I did not give special thanks to the staff of the NR for the event, Lt. McNerney, Sgt. Major Cronin and especially Lt. Col. Adler who filled in for me when I was unable to take the field due to the heat, and who led the NR to great glory on the field. As always the NR never skipped a beat and set the bar high for all the other organizations. My thanks to all of you, it is always my honor and pleasure to lead the National Regiment.
P.S. Thanks to Ira Siedel for the Presentation Picture.

The 2016 National Regiment School of Instruction, scheduled for February 27 & 28, is fast approaching. We need a head count from each unit on how many people are planning to attend, so we can plan on how much food we will need. Please get back to me (firstname.lastname@example.com) and/or Ted Brennan (email@example.com) as soon as possible with your best estimate.
Just a reminder that the location for the school this year will be back at Gettysburg Fire Hall (35 North Stratton Street, Gettysburg, PA 17325). Registration opens at 6:45am, with the uniform of the day being appropriate uniform coat with insignia and cap (uniform trousers are optional). Soft-soled shoes are required for the use in the facility. Officers should have their swords and sword belts. NCOS and soldiers should have their rifle and accoutrements.
Cost for the school is $35 PER PERSON, which includes the school, breakfast and lunch on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday. We will NOT be providing a dinner Saturday night, so plan on making arrangements for your own meal the evening of Feb 27.
Any questions or concerns, please contact Ted Brennan or myself...
Attached is more information on the Fenian Raid in Canada this June. IF your unit is planning on going, or if you have individual unit members who might be going, please pass this information along to them. Please print out the Auto Pass page IN COLOR, and cut out the passes. THIS PASS MUST BE ON THE DASHBOARD OF YOUR CAR BEFORE YOU GO THROUGH CUSTOMS!!!
In theory, the customs officers will be notified of our coming and the display of this pass shows we are headed for the event. Print out the registration form and fill out, either as a unit or as individuals. MAKE SURE YOU NOTE ON THERE THAT YOU OR YOUR UNIT IS WITH THE NATIONAL REGIMENT. WE WILL HAVE THE INSURANCE REFLECT THAT SO YOU MUST BE LISTED AS BELONGING TO BE COVERED.
PLEASE NOTE: Don't stress out just yet about the liability insurance requirement. I'm looking into getting a rider on the NR policy for us. We WILL have something in place before the event. Parks Canada has told me this will be the LAST time they will be doing this on the original site, so this truly is a "once in a lifetime" event.
I'll see you at the school.
Webmaster's Note: This information and the forms are available on the Letters Page of the Website.
Check out the Schedule Page for a list of suggested events for 2016 and their links, if available. The Maximum Effort events have not yet been selected. We also added a link to the National Regiment Facebook Page.

Fenian Raid
As Colonel of the National Regiment I'm supposed to be neutral on what events are selected for the NR max-efforts. However, one of the events on the list for consideration requires some advance planning, and as the NR contact person for that event I'm obliged to provide the information to the membership. I am NOT advocating this event over any of the others, I'm just passing along information so the members may make an informed decision on what to attend. Whether or not the NR chooses to make this a max-effort event, I know we will have an NR contingent attending so I will continue to forward information about this event as it comes available.

CHRISTMAS: Fredericksburg, 1862
The Army of the Potomac and the Washington defenses aggregated a force of 326,750 troops. Of that force, the authorities counted 86,330 absent by the end of January 1863 - a reduction of 27 percent. Gabriel Colby of the 124th New York deserted on Christmas Day. When recaptured, he offered the excuse that "so many were sick of the service after Fredericksburg."
Officers of the Army of the Potomac spent the holidays getting drunk. "Christmas was a dull day at our Camp," wrote a sanctimonious signal officer, "but the Army all through as a general thing enjoyed itself hugely." The inefficient commissary somehow acquired enough whiskey to issue a gill (4 fl oz, today's shot is 1.5 fl oz)"to all who applied for it" on Christmas Eve. "The result," recalled Louis Fortescue, "was the Army of the Potomac on the 25th was as drunk as an owl." Visitors to General Dan Sickles' camp noted that "Whiskey punches flowed like rain." Sickles and his staff became so furiously drunk that they had to buck and gag one of the staff officers, who in his cups attacked several of the aides with his saber. Pilgrims who continued on to Hooker's headquarters found things "in the same elegant condition with the exception of the bucking and gagging."

BREAKING NEWS(04/14/2015): HARPER'S WEEKLY. SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1865. Abraham Lincoln.GREATER love
hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ABRAHAM LINCOLN has done that. He has sealed his service to
his country by the last sacrifice. On the day that commemorates the great sorrow which Christendom reveres, the man who had no
thought, no wish, no hope but the salvation of his country, laid down his life. Yet how many and many a heart that throbbed with
inexpressible grief as the tragedy was told would gladly have been stilled forever if his might have beat on. So wise and good, so
loved and trusted, his death is a personal blow to every faithful American household ; nor will any life be a more cherished
tradition, nor any name be longer and more tenderly beloved by this nation, than those of ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
On the 22d of February, 1861, as he raised the American flag over Independence Hall, in Philadelphia, he spoke of the sentiment in the Declaration of Independence which gave liberty not only to this country, but, "I hope," he said, " to the world for all future time." Then, with a solemnity which the menacing future justified, and with a significance which subsequent events revealed, he added, "But if this country can not be saved without giving up that principle, I was about to say I would rather be assassinated upon this spot than surrender it." The country has been saved by cleaving to that principle, and he has been assassinated for not surrendering it.
BREAKING NEWS(04/13/2015):There is much to post and a lot of work ahead. Check out six videos posted on The News here.

It is basically a one day fight. Slam, Bang, Cross the Creek and go home. Questions can be directed to me. Dates are 28 & 29 of March, but Battle is 28 March. Thank You, Sir. Mark McNerney From Paddy Devlin: I just talked to Mark McNerney and he needs a list of anyone that will be coming to Sailors Creek.

A recent email from the Regimental Quartermaster confirmed my suspicions that the route has been altered. The parade in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, will step off at 1pm from LeFever Street and follow the traditional route to Liberty Street, turning left onto Middle Street, left again onto Baltimore, right onto Steinwehr Avenue and finally left onto Taneytown Road. The parade will end at the Soldiers' National Cemetery. Although construction on Steinwehr Avenue has forced the parade route onto Taneytown Road, all Steinwehr Businesses remain open to their customers.

First rendering of National Regiment Home page completed.
Since its inception, the National Regiment (NR) has been recognized as the leading element for change and authenticity at the Federal battalion level. The National Regiment was the first regimental-size Federal organization in the East to:
Organize a formal and annual Officer/NCO Training School
Study and train from the same "period" manuals
Conduct full regulation dress parades and guard mounts
Mount a 24 hour regimental guard and advanced guard
Conduct a full 24 hour grand guard with reliefs for outposts, sentinels and vedettes
Establish regulation regimental camps of infantry in garrison or "campaign" bivouac using shelter tents or no tents
Conduct advanced regimental and brigade-size drill evolutions in training and on the field
Conduct maneuver by bugle command
Conduct regimental level bayonet drill on a regular basis and
Implement the philosophy, "If you can't carry it, you don't need it!"
Because of the reputation for professionalism and expertise the NR has developed over the years, all or portions of the NR, or individuals belonging to the NR, have been instrumental in nearly every major production having a Civil War theme. These productions include Gore Vidal's "Lincoln", several episodes of Civil War Journal, "Glory", "Gettysburg" "Somersby", "Gods & Generals", "Cold Mountain" and many more. As the reenacting hobby moves through it's sixth decade, the National Regiment will continue to stand at the forefront, leading by example and urging it's members to continue to research, study, practice and excel in their portrayal of the Union Soldier of the American Civil War.

It never gets bought out. I shorted today and gonna hold. There's no way this happens with all this easy money about to make that much money by just buying now.
This thing tanks.
Watch and learn
Good luck! It may or may not happen tomorrow, but I would make sure I am covered by the weekend. Related to rumors, sometimes they are true, sometimes they are out of touch with reality. This one (that there will be BO) is very real on many accounts and saying there are "easy money" laying around is at minimum dishonest. I've been through several BO with different stocks and this one is one of the most dated and obvious ones to me.
Guys. Did you even read the star tribune article? Says he may only offer 18-19 next week which they expect the board to immediately reject. We'd likely hear about this low offer after the board rejects and then it tanks.
Got it?
Watch and learn guys
You're investing based on the opinions of a handful of people posting on a message board? lol. What are you....12?
"Everyone is bullish"? All 3 posters? heheheheh. Too funny.
Shorting a stock with a two week deadline for a buyout where the largest shareholder and founder wants to take it private and has publicly made his intentions known (as opposed to just a rumour? Brilliant.
The whole market looks like its going to start declining, recession on the horizon, etc., and you choose the one stock that might instantly crush your short?
Stunning. Simply stunning.

UNESCO's World Heritage committee on Friday approved a Palestinian bid to place the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem on its list of sites of World Heritage in Danger. It was a decision seen by some countries as a too politicized. Palestinian spokeswoman Hanan Ashrawi said the vote was an affirmation of Palestinian sovereignty over the site that marks the place where Christians believe Jesus was born, the Associated Press reports.
The 21-member committee, meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia, voted 13-6 to include the church and pilgrimage route, located in the Israeli-controlled West Bank, on its list of sites. There were two abstentions.

Gold diggers descend on Folkestone beach
A German artist has sparked an extraordinary 'gold rush' on the Kent coast. Hundreds of people with buckets, spades and metal detectors have descended on the beach at Folkestone Harbour to search for buried bullion.
Berlin-based artist Michael Sailstorfer has hidden 30 bars of pure gold under the sand as part of a public art festival. A few fortune-hunters have struck gold. But 20-plus of the ingots are still there for the taking.
David Johns explains, talking to treasure-seekers and the project organiser Claire Doherty.

Exhibition of work by Russian artists
There was a time when Russian art was just propaganda - stirring posters of party leaders and Communist workers - but not any more. A unique exhibition is on display in Sussex, showing the enormous variety of work by Russian painters.
Malcolm Shaw talked to Mamonova Baker, Russian art collector and Russell Baker, Director, Baker Mamonova Gallery.
Smuggled art goes under the hammer
A painting smuggled out of Russia by its aristocratic owner during the Bolshevik Revolution is going under the hammer in Canterbury.
Its owner rolled up the canvas when they fled Crimea to Constantinople over ninety years ago. The man then passed it onto his grandson.
Hidden treasure at action
Potato painting under the hammer
An important landscape painting is to go under the hammer today - after lying hidden for sixty years. "Potato Patch Rostrevor" by Sir Stanley Spencer was bought for one hundred and seventy pounds. Today it's expected to fetch around three hundred thousand pounds at auction in Dorchester.

Art beneath the dockyard timbers
An art exhibition with a difference has opened in north Kent not in a gallery, but beneath the ancient timbers of Chatham's Historic Dockyard.
The works exhibited owe much to the light and life of Chatham's watery past. As Jenny Line reports it's a history stretching back to centuries past - and for one artist at least, a very personal perspective.
Jenny speaks to Alex Patterson of the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust, and exhibitors Sheilagh Dyson and Jack McDonagh.


text: I expect in February some nice comments from the company regarding 2004 prospects to counter the recent A.G. Edwards sell recommendation. I suspect that they have been on the conservative side in their comments regarding 2004 production up to now and feel some pressure to present a more positive outlook. In the past, they have been a very conservative company regarding future predictions. They do not like to fall short, even if it is because of events that they can not control. We will see and good luck to all.

Families of benefit claimants will be subjected to background checks, and child offenders will be "named and shamed" by the courts after the Government announced its biggest crackdown yet after last week's rioting and looting.
Calling for an across-the-board review of all government policy, David Cameron said yesterday that Britain should "fight back against the attitudes and assumptions that have brought parts of our society to this shocking state".

Provide examples of the three levels of distribution intensity?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The three levels of distribution intensity are intensive, selective and exclusive.
Intensive Distribution
Intensive distribution (also called Mass Distribution) is where a company supplies their product to all markets (essentially they are found everywhere). These products can be found in almost every place a person shops (grocery stores, gas stations, supermarkets, etc.). These are also the type of product a person can buy both at home and abroad. Examples of products which use intensive distribution are Coke, Pepsi, most major cigarettes brands (like Marlboro), and major brewing companies (like Budweiser).
Selective Distribution
Selective distribution pays attention to very specific geographical locations regarding the availability of a specific product. Companies who want to maintain a specific quality store for their product will use selective distribution. An example would be high end clothing (such as Dolce and Gabbana products are sold at Neiman Marcus and not at Walmart or JC Penneys).
Exclusive Distribution
Exclusive distribution is, essentially, an extreme modification of selective distribution. Companies are far more selective with where their product can be purchased at. Exclusive distribution uses one distributor for entire regions. An example of a product which falls under exclusive distribution is high-end luxury vehicles. For example, Rolls Royce vehicles are exclusively distributed. Rolls Royce only has 33 dealerships in the United States (5 in California).
