I went to this doctor years ago after a visit to mexico and told him I belived I had a parasite he refused to belive me he told me I had chrons well guess what you jerk it is now involved in my tissues and muscles you are the poorest excuse for a practicing doctor
He will seem very concerned and is very friendly if that is all you require from a doctor. I went to him for 20 years before finally giving up. Like the other reviewer, he lost my complete file. His staff would tell me I was only allowed to discuss one medical issue with him at an appt. My usual wait in the waiting room could be up to 2 hours, never less than 1 hour, even when I would call ahead of time to check with his staff whether he was running on time or not. If he orders a test you NEVER hear the results. He is NOT supportive in any situation like a car accident injury when he thinks he might be called to testify. He actually recorded in records that my daughter reported she said she was all healed and completely fine which was false. She had two busted vertebrae! We called him Dr. Ibuprofen, because it seemed no matter what ailment you went in to see him for, the medical advice was always to take 4 Ibuprofen. So do that and save yourself two hours in the waiting room. No charge.
Not once did he ever listen to my heart and lungs. and i went to him for many years. Not good at diagnosing nor following up on medical problems.
Dr. Michel is a great doctor. A very thorough doctor. Great patient care.
Loses records, has repeatedly NOT followed through with sending necessary paperwork to specialists, which has resulted in dire treatment delays, is barely more thorough, effective or accurate than looking up ailments on Web MD, is perpetually late or unavailable, and has his staff run obvious interference for him.
this guy is a GREAT!!!!! Dr. he is friendly, accurately diagnoses, takes a while in the waiting room but well worth it!!!

"In addition, there are well-established cognitive effects where recall is best when it matches the context of encoding – so if you're caffeinated when you study for the test, you better be caffeinated when you take it."
Now THAT's an eye-opener! ;~)
I guess that means I should take the test sleep-deprived and on a sugar rush as well.

Comments about Arlene Dery
Where Does My Love Go
When I haven't seen your face,
Or felt the warmth of your embrace,
When you are but a thought,
Just a vision I have sought.
The love I feel, I need to know,
Where does my love go?
My love may ride the whirling wind,
But does it reach you in the end?
Can you feel love in the breeze,

Pylos and Sphacteria 425 BCby Peter Dennis William Shepherd
In the seventh year of the Second Peloponnesian or 'Archidamian' War the Athenians occupied the promontory of Pylos on the west coast of the Peloponnese as a counterstroke to Sparta's repeated invasions of Attica. Over two days of fighting the small garrison beat off the Spartan army and fleet's determined efforts to dislodge it, and then the returning Athenian fleet won a crushing victory in the nearby waters of what is now known as Navarino Bay. As a consequence, a contingent of elite Spartan hoplites was stranded on the island of Sphacteria in the bay just to the south of Pylos for several weeks of inconclusive siege and blockade operations and an unproductive period of truce. The Athenians had full control of the sea. With the campaigning season drawing to a close, they finally decided to mount an attack on the island using unconventional tactics. An amphibious night attack overran the Spartan outpost covering the beaches and light-armed missile troops landed at daybreak in overwhelming numbers. The Spartans were slowly driven back to their stronghold at the tip of the island, losing men steadily and never allowed to engage in the hand-to-hand fighting at which they excelled. They held their final defensive line for a while until, as at Thermopylae, they found themselves also under attack from the rear. Then, exhausted and out of water, with their commander dead and his deputy incapacitated by wounds, and a large Spartan army close-by on the mainland but powerless to help them, the 292 survivors surrendered. This was a huge and surprising blow to the Spartans' glorious and fearsome reputation, and these prestigious prisoners-of-war served the Athenians very well as bargaining counters in the diplomatic activity that punctuated the hostilities that continued for the next four years. The Athenian victory also influenced the future conduct of the war by highlighting the limitations of the traditional hoplite mindset and tactics, and the battle-winning potential of light-armed troops, the hoplites' inferiors.
Q Ship vs U-Boatby Peter Dennis David Greentree
At the start of World War I a new and potent threat to Britain's naval supremacy took shape in the form of the Kaiser's Imperial German submarines, thanks to their recently acquired ability to submerge and stalk their adversaries. A submarine's crew could not board and capture a merchant ship, however, and at first the German leadership was reluctant to order their U-boat captains to use gunfire or torpedoes to sink merchantmen - crewed by civilian seamen - because of the expected hostile reaction of neutral countries such as the United States. Instead, U-boat captains were ordered to surface, then check the manifest of merchantmen and allow their crews to take to lifeboats before sinking the cargo vessels, rendering the U-boat highly vulnerable to attack. This enabled the Royal Navy to counter the submarine threat with vessels whose outward appearance was that of a merchantman, but which kept hidden an arsenal of weapons that would spring to life if a U-boat surfaced - the Q-ships.Q-ships came in all shapes and sizes - coastal steamer, trawler, barque, yacht or schooner - but all had to look harmless in order to lure opponents to the surface and encourage them to attack. Armaments differed according to ship size; steamers commonly had 4in guns mounted amidships and in the bow, trawlers 3-pdrs and sailing ships 12-pdrs. Those who served on Q-ships had to accept that their U-boat opponents would be able to strike first. Q-ship captains kept ready a 'panic crew', which was trained to act out an elaborate evacuation to convince the U-boat commander that the ship was being abandoned by its crew. The Q-ship captain would remain behind with a handful of other crewmen manning the guns, which remained hidden until the most opportune time to unmask and engage the U-boat.These deceptions did not go unnoticed, however; German captains learnt to be cautious, and frequently would engage with their guns at longer range and later in the war with torpedoes. U-boat boatswain's mate Christof Lassen view of Q-ships as the 'most unpleasant object we could hope to meet' was commonly held. As the Allies condemned the sinking of merchantmen, the Germans vilified Q-ships as a crude deceit manned by pirates and contrary to the rules of civilized warfare. Encounters were often fought with bitterness and little quarter was given.The Q-ship suited the Royal Navy's preference for offensive action to counter the submarine. The Q-ship concept had emerged early in the war when no other method seemed likely to counter the U-boat threat, and flourished until new technologies and tactics were developed, tested and implemented. Q ships instilled wariness into a previously bold and seemingly invincible enemy. The usefulness of Q-ships waned as they lost their surprise factor, but they helped mitigate the U-boat menace until more effective and efficient means of defence were adopted. Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork and drawing upon the latest research, this engaging study brings to life the deadly duel between these two very different vessels at the height of World War I.
Remagen 1945by Peter Dennis Steven Zaloga
Following the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes, the Allies began steps for the final assault into Germany. The long-delayed US Army thrust over the Roer River, Operation Lumberjack, finally took place in February, placing the US Army along the Rhine. The Rhine represented the last major geographical barrier to the Allied advance into Germany. The plan was for Montgomery's 21st Army Group to leap the Rhine into the Ruhr in a carefully choreographed attack called Operation Plunder. In the event, fortune smiled on the US Army when the 9th Armored unexpectedly found that the Ludendorff bridge at Remagen had not yet been demolished by the Wehrmacht, leaving this one major crossing over the Rhine intact. An armored infantry team supported by the new Pershing tanks stormed the bridge, seized it in fierce fighting and disarmed the charges placed on it. They then held it against numerous counterattacks in which the Germans used conventional tactics and unconventional, including jet bombers, V-2 missiles, and frogmen. Remagen was not the only impromptu Rhine crossing made by the US Army in central Germany but it was the most dramatic and hardest fought. The irrepressible George Patton, in spite of instructions to stay put, snuck an infantry division across the Rhine in the south, setting the stage for the race into Germany. After reinforcing their two major Rhine crossings, the US Army launched its late-March offensive, encircling Frankfurt, and setting the stage for the defeat of the Wehrmacht in the West. This is a gripping, authoritative account of a crucial battle during the last major set-piece operation of World War II (1939-1945).
Rhodesian Light Infantryman 1961-80by Peter Dennis Neil Grant
The 1st Battalion, The Rhodesian Light Infantry (RLI), was one of the most innovative and successful counter-insurgency units in modern history, developing and perfecting a range of tactics and operational concepts that have since become standard practise in modern military forces. Formed in 1961 and then re-formed in 1964 as a commando battalion after the dissolution of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, the RLI was an all-white unit that incorporated foreign soldiers from South Africa, The UK, USA, Canada and Europe into its ranks. It was a key weapon in independent Rhodesia's struggle against the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA) and Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) during the bloody Rhodesian Bush War. This comprehensive study explores the unit's dramatic history, revealing the RLI's fearsome airborne and combat capacity, which gave the unit, at times, near total tactical superiority against its opponents.
Robin Hoodby Neil Smith Peter Dennis
From the early ballads that established his stories to the later additions of Little John, Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, and Alan-a-Dale, this book explores how the legend of Robin Hood grew.He robbed from the rich to give to the poor, or so the legend goes. But who was the outlaw known as Robin Hood? How did his legend develop and how has it changed over the passing centuries? This new book in the Osprey Myths and Legends series takes a detailed look at Britain's most famous outlaw. It also enters the perilous world of Robin Hood scholarship with a critical review of the case for a 'historical' Robin Hood and a review of the mostly likely candidates. A perfect primer for young and old, this book covers both the fact and the fiction of Robin Hood.
Roman Soldier vs Germanic Warriorby Peter Dennis Lindsay Powell
From the annals of Tacitus we get a one-sided vision of the Romano-Germanic wars. More recent scholarship, including Osprey's Teutoburg Forest Campaign book, paints a more balanced picture. Yet, there's still a lot of ground to cover on the subject. The reigns of Augustus and his successor Tiberius saw an epic struggle between the Romans and local peoples for the territory between the Rhine and Elbe rivers in what is now Germany. Following two decades of Roman occupation, Germania Magna erupted into revolt in AD 9 following the loss of the three legions commanded by Publius Quinctilius Varus to the Cheruscan nobleman Arminius and an alliance of Germanic nations in the dense forests of the Teutoburger Wald. The Romans' initial panic subsided as it became clear that Arminius and his allies could not continue the war into Germania Inferior on the western bank of the Rhine, and Imperial troops poured into the region as the Romans decided how best to resolve the situation.In AD 14 Tiberius' adopted son, Germanicus Caesar, quelled a mutiny among Roman forces in the area, then took his men on a quick punitive raid into Germanic territory. In the following year he snatched the wife and father-in-law of Arminius and located the site of the 'Varian Disaster', where he oversaw burial of the bones of Roman dead and erected a cenotaph. In AD 16 Germanicus set out to engage his Cheruscan adversary and defeat him decisively with a view to tipping the balance of power in the region as a prelude to restoring full Roman control over territory between the Rhine and the Elbe. By that summer, the Germanicus had tracked down Arminius to a location on the Weser River in the region of modern-day Minden. An initial engagement - called the battle of Weser River - ended in a draw when a Roman cavalry charge was repulsed by Arminius' own cavalry and Germanicus withdrew his men. Having transferred his force across the river and camped for the night, he laid out a plan for a set-piece battle with his opponent at a place called the Plain of Idistaviso.Idistaviso was the first battle the Romans won against Arminius since Teutoburg. It proved they could beat him. Despite his unique understanding of both Roman and Germanic strategy and tactics, Arminius' failure to anticipate the Roman defence in depth, compounded by dissimilarities in arms and equipment, and confusion on the ground, made this battle particularly vicious and bloody. Better led and disciplined, and with a robust battle strategy, Germanicus' men decisively defeated Arminius'. At the ensuing battle of the Angrivarian Wall the Romans crushed the Germans again.Featuring full-color artwork, specially drawn maps and an array of revealing illustrations depicting weapons, equipment, key locations and personalities, this study offers key insights into the tactics, leadership, combat performance, and subsequent reputations of the Roman soldiers and their Germanic opponents pitched into a series of pivotal actions on the Imperial frontier that would influence Roman/German relations for decades to come.
Russian Fortresses 1480-1682by Peter Dennis Konstantin Nossov
In 1462 the throne of the Principality of Moscow passed to the Ivan III (1462-1505), who succeeded in throwing off the Tatar yoke. For the next 200 years this new state struggled to maintain her borders against a series of attacks from the Lithuanians, Swedes and Poles to the west, as well as the Tatars to the south. They achieved this through the development of a network of fortified sites and a series of linear defensive systems. This book examine how these fortifications were developed to respond to ever changing situations under the command of such charismatic rulers as Ivan the Terrible, right through to the military reforms of Peter the Great.
Saladinby David Nicolle Peter Dennis
This Osprey Command book looks closely at the early life, military experiences and key battlefield exploits of Al-Malik al-Nasir Yusuf Ibn Najm al-Din Ayyub Ibn Shahdi Abu'l-Muzaffar Salah al-Din - or Saladin as he is more commonly known outside the Islamic world - who is broadly regarded as the greatest hero of the Crusades, even in Europe. Most chroniclers present him as a man of outstanding virtue, courage and political skill. More recently, however, efforts have been made to portray Saladin as an ambitious, ruthless and even devious politician, and as a less brilliant commander than it normally thought. This book sets out to reveal that the truth is, as usual, somewhere in between.From the Trade Paperback edition.
The Samurai Invasion of Korea 1592-98by Peter Dennis Stephen Turnbull
The invasions of Korea launched by the dictator Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1592-1593 and 1597-1598) are unique in Japanese history for being the only time that the samurai assaulted a foreign country. Hideyoshi planned to invade and conquer China, ruled at the time by the Ming dynasty, and when the Korean court refused to allow his troops to cross their country, Korea became the first step in this ambitious plan of conquest. In 1592 a huge invasion force of 150,000 men landed at the ports of Busan and Tadaejin under the commanders Konishi Yukinaga and Kato Kiyomasa. These two Japanese divisions rapidly overran their Korean counterparts, taking the principal cities of Seoul and then Pyongyang and driving the remnants of the Korean Army into China. The Japanese division under Kato Kiyomasa even started to advance into Manchuria. However, the Korean strength was in their navy and the vital Korean naval victory of Hansando disrupted the flow of supplies to the invasion forces, forcing them to hold their positions around Pyongyang. In 1593, the Chinese invaded capturing Pyongyang from the Japanese and driving them southwards. This phase of the war ended in a truce, with the Japanese forces withdrawing into enclaves around the southern port of Busan while the Ming armies largely withdrew to China. In 1597, following the breakdown in negotiations, the Japanese invaded again with a force of 140,000 men. However, the Chinese and Koreans were now better prepared and the advance came to a halt south of Seoul, and then forced the Japanese southwards. In November 1598 Hideyoshi died, and with him the enthusiasm for the military adventure. The Japanese council of regents ordered the withdrawal of the remaining forces, and the naval battle of Noryang, which saw the Japanese fleet annihilated by the Korean admiral Yi-Sunshin, proved to be the last significant act of the conflict.
Scapa Flowby Peter Dennis Angus Konstam
A strategically important natural harbor in the Orkney Islands, Scapa Flow served as Britain's main fleet anchorage during World Wars I and II. It held Jellicoe's Grand Fleet from 1914-18, and it was from here that it sailed out to do battle with the Germans at Jutland in 1916. In 1914 the British began building a comprehensive defensive network by fortifying the entrances to Scapa Flow and then extending these defenses to cover most of Orkney. These static defenses were augmented with boom nets, naval patrols and minefields, creating the largest fortified naval base in the world.With the outbreak of the Second World War, Scapa Flow again proved ideally situated to counter the German naval threat and served as the base for Britain's Home Fleet. Despite constant attacks from aircraft and U-boats, one of which managed to sink the British battleship Royal Oak, the defenses of Scapa Flow were again augmented and improved. By 1940, Orkney had become an island fortress, the largest integrated defensive network of its kind in Europe, manned by as many as 50,000 Commonwealth troops.Backed by newly commissioned artwork, naval historian Angus Konstam tells the story of this mighty naval fortress, many pieces of which can still be seen on the island today.
The Six Day War 1967: Jordan and Syriaby Peter Dennis Simon Dunstan
Osprey's examination of Jordan and Syria's involvement in the Six Day War (1967). Following the lightning destruction of the Egyptian forces at the outbreak of the Six Day War, Israel turned to the forces of Jordan and Syria, with whom Egypt had signed a mutual-defence pact, and who had now entered the war. Jordan's army moved against West Jerusalem and central Israel, while Syria began shelling Israeli towns from the seemingly impregnable Golan Heights. The IDF's invasion of the Golan was as daring and successful as its more famous Egyptian victory, but its success in Jordan - taking the West Bank - sowed the seeds of its future troubles. Comprehensively illustrated with artwork, maps and battlefield views, this new history brings one of the most important of 20th century campaigns to life.
The Six Day War 1967: Sinaiby Peter Dennis Simon Dunstan
In May 1967, Egypt expelled the United Nations peacekeeping forces stationed in the Sinai desert and deployed its army along its border with Israel, its moves coordinated with those of Jordan and Syria. By June, Israel realized that the international community would not act, and launched a pre-emptive strike against the combined Arab forces. The ensuing Six Day War (June 5-10, 1967) was a crushing defeat for the Arab world, one that tripled the area controlled by Israel and which sowed the seeds for the Yom Kippur War of 1973 and the continuing strife in the region. Written by the author of Osprey's Yom Kippur War, this volume covers the background to the war and the campaign against the Egyptians in the Sinai Peninsula, including the initial devastating air assault that showed the world how vital air supremacy was in modern combat.
Strongholds of the Pictsby Peter Dennis Angus Konstam
When the Romans left Britain around AD 410 the island had not been fully subjugated. In the Celtic fringe of Caledonia - now Northern Scotland - these unconquered native peoples were presented with the opportunity to pillage what remained of Roman Britain. By way of response the Post-Roman Britons of what is now Scotland did their best to defend themselves from attack, and to preserve what they could of the economic and administrative systems left behind by the Romans. While some old Roman forts were maintained, the Post-Roman Britons in the area created new strongholds, or re-occupied some of the long-abandoned hill-forts first built by their ancestors before the coming of the Romans. Meanwhile the Caledonians - who evolved into the Picts - relied on fortifications to maintain control over their land.Then a new wave of invaders arrived from across the Irish Sea. The Scots came first to conquer, then to settle. In their wake came the Angles and Saxons, driving north to occupy most of Scotland as far as the Firth of Forth, and later the Vikings arrived from the north and east. During the variety of ensuing struggles, the Picts, Scots, Vikings, Northumbrians and North Britons made extensive use of fortifications, the remains of which still dot the modern landscape.This book traces the origins and development of these North British forts. It also touches on the way they served as secular or religious centers, seats of power, or as barriers against invasion. It will also discuss the mystery surrounding the Picts, and show how modern archaeology has done much to reveal the way these enigmatic people waged war, and defended their strongholds.
Tippecanoe 1811by Peter Dennis John F. Winkler
This is the gripping story of the Tippecanoe campaign of 1811: "The prophet's battle". It was a conflict born out of festering tensions inscribed by the 1795 Treaty of Greeneville, which had concluded the Northwestern Indian War and attempted to prevent white settlers' encroachment onto newly-defined Indian territories. For 16 years there had been peace, but in 1811 the number of settlers in the Ohio territory had swollen from 3,000 to 250,000. War was again coming to the North West. Within these pages John F. Winkler explores the dramatic buildup to the war and provides a clear view of the intense fighting with the aid of superb illustrations and maps. He explores the mystical figure of Tenskatawa, who came to be known as "The prophet" and who tried to unite the tribes of the Northwest to drive the American settlers back once and for all - promising a great success that he had seen in a vision. However it was his brother, the charismatic war leader Tecumseh who would organize the tribes militarily, and the Battle of Tippecanoe would be joined as a stealthy assassination attempt by 100 hand-picked warriors trying to kill William Henry Harrison. Kill Harrison, The Prophet asserted, and the rest would fold. Uncover the truth about the brutal combat that followed, and the impact of the battle on the War of 1812.
Tomahawk and Musket - French and Indian Raids in the Ohio Valley 1758by Peter Dennis Rene Chartrand
In 1758, at the height of the French and Indian War, British Brigadier General John Forbes led his army on a methodical advance against Fort Duquesene, French headquarters in the Ohio valley. As his army closed in upon the fort, he sent Major Grant of the 77th Highlanders and 850 men on a reconnaissance in force against the fort. The French, alerted to this move, launched their own counter-raid. 500 French and Canadians, backed by 500 Indian allies, ambushed the highlanders and sent them fleeing back to the main army. With the success of that operation, the French planned their own raid against the English encampment at Fort Ligonier less than fifty miles away. With only 600 men, against an enemy strength of 4,000, the French & Amerindians launched a daring night attack on the heart of the enemy encampment. This book tells the complete story of these ambitious raids and counter-raids, giving in-depth detail on the forces, terrain, and tactics.
U-47 in Scapa Flow - The Sinking of HMS Royal Oak 1939by Peter Dennis Angus Konstam
Even with Germany in the ascendency at the beginning of World War II, Scapa Flow was supposed to be the safe home base of the British Navy. Nothing and nobody could penetrate the defences of this bastion, which was built up to formidable levels in World War I and symbolized the faith placed by the British in the invulnerability of their navy. So how, in the dead of night on October 13, was Gunther Prien's U-47 able to slip through the line of protective warships undetected to sink the mighty Royal Oak? This book provides the answer with an account of one of the most daring naval raids of World War II indeed - in all of history. Drawing on the very latest underwater archaeological research, this study explains how Prien and his crew navigated the North Sea, Kirk Sound and some very unlikely odds to land a devastating blow on the British, and became among the very first German heroes of World War II. It reveals the level of disrepair that Scapa Flow had fallen into, and delves into the intriguing conspiracy theories surrounding the event, including an alleged cover-up by the then First Sea Lord, Winston Churchill.
Union Infantryman vs Confederate Infantrymanby Peter Dennis Ron Field
This book provides analysis and first-hand accounts of three major Civil War battles: 1st Bull Run/1st Manassas, Gettysburg and Chaffin's Farm from two perspectives. The enthusiastic but largely inexperienced soldiers on both sides in the Civil War had to adapt quickly to the appalling realities of warfare in the industrial age. In this fully illustrated study, an authority on the Civil War investigates three clashes that illustrate the changing realities of infantry combat in America's bloodiest conflict.The appalling slaughter at 1st Bull Run/1st Manassas on July 21, 1861 brought home the realities of war to both sides. In the final bloody stages the 11th New York (1st Fire Zouaves) clashed with the 33rd Virginia Infantry. The 11th New York had first clashed with the "Black Horse Cavalry" and then re-captured the guns of Rickett's battery, only to be forced backwards several times before being crushed into retreat by a final Confederate charge which very much involved the 2nd South Carolina.Pickett's charge at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863 saw the Confederate veterans of Pickett's division, including the 56th Virginia Infantry, decimated in a set-piece attack on Union positions held by regiments including the 71st Pennsylvania Infantry, Having seen extensive fighting on the previous day, the men of the 71st played a key role in the Union defense, refusing to break and keeping their positions at "the Angle" of the stone wall that marked the Union line, even though their sister regiments broke and retreated. The Union soldiers' staunch defense threw the Confederate front line into confusion, forcing them to withdraw.On September 29, 1864, at the battle of Chaffin's Farm, the African-American troops of Brigadier General Charles J. Paine's 3rd Division, including the 4th US Colored Infantry under Major A.S. Boernstein, took part in the Union assault on formidable Confederate positions held by Brigadier General John Gregg's veterans of the Texas-Arkansas Brigade, including Lieutenant Colonel Clinton M. Winkler's 4th Texas Infantry. Alongside the 6th USCI, Boernstein's men were ordered to attack at 5.30am unsupported by any Union artillery fire; deployed in a 200yd skirmish line and hampered by a swampy ravine, the two regiments struggled through two lines of defensive emplacements before being riddled by deadly accurate small-arms fire from the Texan defenders. Although a few men actually broke into the Confederate lines, they were soon killed or captured, and the remnants retired. Between them, the 4th and 6th USCI lost 350 of their 700 effectives; fully 14 Medals of Honor were awarded to the regiments that stormed New Market Heights, including Sergeant Christian Fleetwood and Sergeant Alfred B. Hilton of the 4th USCI. The four regiments of Lee's "Grenadier Guards" had inflicted 850 casualties on their attackers while sustaining only 50 themselves.Featuring specially commissioned artwork, expert analysis and carefully chosen first-hand accounts, this absorbing study traces the evolution of infantry tactics in the crucible of the Civil War by examining three key clashes at unit level.
US 10th Mountain Division in World War IIby Peter Dennis Gordon Rottman
The 10th was the only American mountain division to be raised in World War II, and still has a high profile, being involved in operations from Iraq to Somalia and from Haiti to Afghanistan. It did not arrive in Europe until winter 1944/45, but then fought hard in the harsh mountainous terrain of Northern Italy until VE-Day five months later, losing c. 1,000 men killed and c. 3,000 wounded. Fighting in a series of battles in the Po Valley that included an amphibious assault across Lake Garda, the division made a key contribution to Allied victory in Europe.The division was special in a number of ways. Its personnel were selected for physical fitness and experience in winter sports, mountaineering, and hunting, unlike the rest of the infantry. Since winter sports were at that time the preserve of the wealthy, the division's educational level was as unusually high as its fitness. It was highly trained in mountain and winter warfare, including the use of skis and snowshoes, while its organization, field clothing, and some personal equipment also differed from that of the usual infantry division. The division made extensive use of pack-mules, and its reconnaissance unit was horse-mounted, conducting the last horse-mounted charge in US history in April 1945.Featuring full-color artwork and rare photographs, this is the gripping story of the US Army's only mountain division in action during the closing months of World War II.From the Trade Paperback edition.
US Combat Shotgunsby Peter Dennis Leroy Thompson
Winchester, Remington, Ithaca Gun Company, Stevens, Savage, Mossberg, Benelli, and other gun manufacturers have produced a range of combat shotguns for US armed forces. When a soldier must face multiple opponents at close quarters, few weapons can match the shotgun. From World War I to the War on Terror, the shotgun has been a devastating weapon in the hands of US troops. For urban combat, prisoner control, and shipboard operations it remains as deadly today as it was a century ago.Early combat shotguns were basically sawed-off versions of the double-barreled shotguns used for sporting purposes. The Winchester Model 97 slide-action shotgun, first used in 20in-barreled "riot gun" form during the Philippine Insurrection, would remain in service in one form or another at least until the Vietnam War. During World War I shotguns were obtained in "riot gun" versions and also in "trench gun" versions (trench guns had a ventilated handguard added that allowed the mounting of a bayonet; riot guns did not have this feature). Joining the Model 97 as trench guns were the Winchester Model 12 and Remington Model 10, while these slide-action weapons plus the Remington Model 11, a semi-automatic, also served as riot-guns. So effective was the trench shotgun that Germans claimed it was inhumane and violated the "Rules of War", threatening to execute troops captured carrying a shotgun.The various Banana Wars saw the use of World War I military shotguns still in the armories. During World War II, Winchester Model 12 and Model 97 trench and riot guns were joined by the Ithaca Model 37, Remington Model 11 and Model 31, Stevens Models 520-30 and 620A, and Savage Model 720. The US Marines found the shotgun useful for the close combat they encountered in the jungles during World War II, in humid conditions that necessitated the development of military brass-case shotgun shells, while OSS agents found single-shot shotguns useful for arming guerillas in Burma, the Philippines, and elsewhere.During the Korean and Vietnam Wars the same types of shotguns deployed during World War II were used, though some additional models were acquired as riot guns, including the Remington Model 870, Savage Model 77E, Winchester Model 1200, and Winchester Model 25. In Vietnam shotguns were used by point men and others on patrol, while members of the US Navy SEALs especially liked shotguns for launching ambushes in the Mekong Delta.During the period since the First Gulf War new combat shotguns have been adopted by the US military, such as the Mossberg 500 series, including one trench-gun model, and the Benelli 1014. More recently during the War on Terror, shotguns have been used to clear cave complexes in Afghanistan and buildings in Iraq, but especially to blow doors open during entries and searches.Featuring specially commissioned full-color artwork, this is the story of the origins, development and use of the combat shotgun in US service, from the trenches of World War I to the cave complexes of Afghanistan.
US World War II Amphibious Tacticsby Peter Dennis Gordon Rottman
Osprey's study of the United States' naval tactics during World War II (1939-1945). The US armed forces were responsible for many tactical innovations during the years 1941-45, but in no field was US mastery more complete than amphibious warfare. In the vast, almost empty battlefield of the Pacific the US Navy and Marine Corps were obliged to develop every aspect of the amphibious assault landing in painstaking detail, from the design of many new types of vessel, down to the tactics of the rifle platoon hitting the beach, and the logistic system without which they could not have fought their way inland. This fascinating study offers a clear, succinct explanation of every phase of these operations as they evolved during the war years, illustrated with detailed color plates and photographs.
The Vauban Fortifications of Franceby Peter Dennis Paddy Griffith
Vauban was the foremost military engineer of France during the period of its centralisation and wars of expansion in the 17th and 18th centuries. His influence persisted long after Waterloo, and his name has become synonymous with the science of the construction, defence and attack of bastioned fortresses. Dunkirk, Toulon, Perpignan, Verdun and Brest stand out among the many historically significant sites created by this incredible engineer. This book examines the many achievements of this pivotal figure in fortification history, exploring the sites and their subsequent significance.
The Vickers-Maxim Machine Gunby Peter Dennis Martin Pegler
The world's first self-powered machine gun, the Maxim gun became a potent symbol of Victorian colonialism in the closing years of the 19th century. It was the brainchild of Sir Hiram Maxim, the American-born firearms inventor who founded the company bearing his name with financing from Albert Vickers, who became the company's chairman; Maxim's company was absorbed by Vickers, Sons and Company in 1897. Subsequent variants in British, German and Russian service - the .303in Vickers (1912), 7.92mm MG 08 (1908) and 7.62mm PM M1910, respectively - dominated both the Eastern and Western Fronts during World War I and soldiered on into World War II, while the Vickers remained in front-line British service essentially unchanged until 1968.The .577/450in Maxim's revolutionary design eschewed the hand-cranking required by previous rapid-firing guns, instead harnessing the weapon's recoil energy to eject each spent cartridge and insert the next. Water-cooled and capable of 600 rounds per minute, it was often mounted on a tripod and belt-fed, unlike earlier models such as the Gardner and the Gatling, which were usually mounted on horse carriages and hopper-fed. First demonstrated in 1884, the Maxim was adopted by the British Army in 1888 and saw service in the First Matabele War (1893-94); in one incident, 50 soldiers with four Maxims fought off 5,000 warriors. Although it was hampered by its weight and easily spotted (before the advent of smokeless powder) owing to the clouds of smoke it produced while firing, the Maxim was considered more reliable than its contemporaries; its very presence on the battlefield was believed to give its users a significant psychological advantage over their opponents. Even so, the armies of many nations remained skeptical about the reliability of machine guns in general, and at the outset of World War I only two were attached to each infantry battalion of the British Expeditionary Force.
Victory 1945: Western Allied Troops in Northwest Europeby Peter Dennis Gordon L. Rottman
Even when Western Allied troops gained a foothold in Normandy, World War II in Europe was far from over. The route to Germany's interior and the Nazis final surrender was long, arduous and blood-stained. The Wehrmacht's stubborn resistance and the shocking losses suffered by US, British, Canadian and 'Free European' troops meant that the Allies had to adapt and refine small-unit tactics, battle-drills, and their use of weapons and munitions. The troops who finally met up with the Red Army in Germany were a very different fighting force to the one that struggled up the beaches of northern France. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the late-war Allied troops, exploring their uniforms, equipment, organization and tactics. Detailed description and accurate color pictures illustrate the means by which the Allied troops on the ground evolved to the point of winning the war on the Western Front.
Vietnam Firebases 1965-73by Peter Dennis Randy Foster
Impressive in terms of scale and structure, the Fire Support Base became a dominant element in ground maneuver during the Vietnam War. Initially a mobile base, it soon evolved into a semi-permanent and more sophisticated fortress as a result of enemy counterattacks and bombardments.As a consequence, the majority of US and other allied troops found themselves pinned down in defensive or support roles, rather than being free to conduct 'search and destroy' or other mobile missions. Thus, the first and foremost function of the Fire Support Base was defensive. Troops, machine guns, mortars, artillery, surveillance radars, and command centers all had to be dug into bunkers and fire trenches by nightfall of the first day. Around these positions there would be deep belts of barbed wire, generously scattered with several different types of mines and even, in a few cases after 1967, with a brand new series of electronic sensors to detect and locate the enemy at a distance. With the benefit of the on-site howitzers, the FSB could also deliver offensive high volume fire, reaching as far as 14,600m and eliminating enemy firing sites, supporting friendly infantry operations, or simply participating in fire missions where exact targets were not known. In fact, the fort offered such a degree of support and protection that ground maneuver was eventually hampered by the troop's reluctance to leave the comfort and safety of the FSB. With a description of the design, development and operational history of the Fire Support Base, this book provides the key to understanding one of the main assets of US battle strategy in the Vietnam War.
Vietnam Infantry Tacticsby Peter Dennis Gordon Rottman
Osprey's study of the evolving US, Viet Cong and NVA tactics at battalion level and below throughout the Vietnam War (1955-1975). Beginning with a description of the terrain, climate and the unique nature of operations in this theater of war, author Gordon Rottman, a Vietnam veteran himself, goes on to explain how unit organization was broken down by combatant forces and the impact this had on the kind of tactics they employed. In particular, Rottman highlights how units were organized in reality on the battlefield as opposed to their theoretical tables of organization. US tactics included the standard US tactical doctrine as prescribed by several field manuals and in which leaders and troops were rigorously trained. But it also reveals how many American units developed innovative small unit tactics specifically tailored to the terrain and enemy practices. Key Free World Forces' tactics that will be discussed in detail include Command and Control, Combat Patrols and Ambushes, Counter-Ambushes, Defensive Perimeters, and Offensive Operations (sweeps, search and destroy, clear and secure). In contrast, this book reveals the tactics employed by Viet Cong and NVA units including their own Offensive Operations (attacking bases and installations, attacking moving forces), Reconnaissance, Movement Formations and Security, and Ambushes.

The newspaper market has had to change considerably in recent years as competition from other news sources - including the Internet, and cable and satellite television - has put pressure on circulations. The focus has been shifted in order to incorporate increased coverage of lifestyle issues, with many newspapers adding new sections and stand-alone supplements. Saturday editions have been a particular focus of attention, and there has also been an increase in sports coverage.
Despite these changes, revenues from copy sales have remained relatively stagnant - a trend exacerbated by the fact that price wars over the past decade have, until recently, prevented increases in cover prices. However, in 2001, a number of newspapers have introduced cover-price increases, and ever-growing newsprint costs may force others to follow suit.
Until recently, advertising revenues had been growing at a healthy rate. However, the newspaper industry, like other media sectors, has been severely affected during the past year by an overall fall in advertising expenditure. A number of national newspaper groups have reported falling advertising revenues during the same period, and have reacted with cost-cutting measures including job losses and adjustments to online activities. On the whole, the national newspaper sector has been more severely affected than local and regional newspaper groups.
The national newspaper market is in the hands of a relatively small number of players. Cross-media ownership is much in evidence, with some newspaper groups being ultimately owned by large multinational media companies, and many specialist newspaper groups diversifying into other media, such as radio. However, the past year has been characterised by an overall reduction in online activity among newspapers.
The most significant change of ownership in the past year within the national sector has been the purchase of Express Group Newspapers by Northern and Shell, publishers of celebrity magazine OK! and a number of 'top-shelf' titles.
The regional newspaper market has been subject to much consolidation during the past decade, a process which is still continuing. The need to make economies of scale has also led to title-swapping between companies - clustering titles within the same geographical area - which some commentators feel will be even more important in the future.
Among recent acquisitions within the sector have been the purchase of Southnews by Trinity Mirror, and Newscom by Newsquest's owner Gannett. Regional Independent Media (RIM), one of the few remaining independent publishers in the top ten, is currently up for sale.
The original NOP research commissioned for this report indicates that there is a strong degree of loyalty among newspaper readers. A high proportion of respondents remain loyal to the same newspaper that they were reading a year ago, and very few say that they would consider switching because of a small increase in cover price. Perhaps more surprisingly, even fewer
say that they check out other newspapers for special offers and promotions before deciding which one to buy.
Nearly three in ten respondents are regular newspaper purchasers, either buying or having a newspaper delivered every day of the week. Among less frequent purchasers, weekend newspapers have more appeal than week day ones.
On the question of the proliferation of supplements and sections in newspapers, there is a narrow majority in favour of having fewer rather than more supplements.
There is little enthusiasm for advertisements in newspapers, and a high degree of scepticism, with less than one in ten believing that `the newspaper I read would not allow products to be advertised in it if they were no good.'
The effects of the existing global turndown in advertising expenditure will undoubtedly make themselves felt in the newspaper market over the next few years. Little or no growth is expected. The September 2001 terrorist attacks in the US, whose full consequences are as yet unknown, will also undoubtedly have a negative effect on advertising revenues in the short term.
The cyclical nature of economic trends means, however, that a recovery will take place eventually. Recent consolidation and cost-cutting activities within the newspaper sector indicate that it will be in a strong position when this does happen. SHOW LESS READ MORE >

It's safe to say a consensus of experts rates Oregon as the second-best team in the country behind Alabama, and perhaps the Bowl Championship Series process is starting to follow along.
The Ducks passed Notre Dame and moved into third place in the latest standings and now set their sights on No. 2 Kansas State. They will hope the Wildcats stumble at Texas Christian on Saturday night before going out and presumably trying to put a big number up on scuffling California.
Look for steady doses of Kenjon Barner, who rushed for a school-record 321 yards and five touchdowns last week against Southern Cal.

Teachers endorse unified calendar
By MELANIE YEAGER
Globe-News Education Writer
Teachers?'overwhelming vote to return to one, unified calendar in the Canyon Independent School District reflects the voice of the entire community, said J. Pat Hickman, school board president.
"You?re going to have to really stretch to tell me this is not what the majority of the people of this district want," Hickman said Wednesday.
Vote totals released by school officials Wednesday morning showed a 3-to-1 ratio in favor of a unified calendar. Of the 645 votes, 484 teachers backed the unified calendar. The remaining 161 teachers supported keeping the present calendar system of two calendar choices traditional and alternate at the elementary schools.
The Teacher Advisory Council forwarded the winning calendar as its recommendation to Superintendent Mike King.
King will take a recommended calendar to the school board tonight for a final vote on the matter. King would not say what his recommendation would be. But Hickman said during his seven-year stint on the board, the board has never voted against the teachers? recommendation.
A calendar committee of parents and teachers from every campus decided the district should be on one schedule, then proposed a unified calendar to blend the traditional and alternate calendars at CISD schools.
The unified calendar has evolved since its initial unveiling.
The winning unified calendar will start school Aug. 11 and run through May 27. The traditional calendar on the ballot was to have started school Aug. 12 and end May 21. The big difference between the two is the October week off on the unified calendar.
"Let?s be honest. The unified calendar now looks like a traditional calendar,?" Hickman said.
It's a far cry from ACE (alternate calendar education), he said.
About 1,135 of the district?s more than 3,000 elementary students attend school on the alternate calendar.
Bobbie Jo Krutsch, PTA president at Oscar Hinger Elementary School, said she hates to give up the alternate calendar that offers students breaks every nine weeks of school. But she?s not surprised by the teacher vote.
"I see the benefits of everybody being on one calendar," she said.
Trustee Jim Murphy said he is a fan of the alternate calendar, but he also understands the hardship of two calendars on an elementary school.
"I think it?s been a well-intentioned and noble experiment," Murphy said. "I think the ACE calendar itself has served a good purpose and was very useful to a lot of kids and a lot of parents who are really interested in the academic progress of their children.??
Parent Rhonda Baker said she wishes the district would keep the pure traditional calendar. Now she or her husband must take vacation in October to care for their children on school break, she said.
"There?s a lot of people I know who are in the same situation, without child care," she said.
With the exception of Canyon High School, all campuses preferred the unified calendar.
King said despite the high school?s preference, entire-district totals from the high schools reflect victory for the unified calendar. The tally was 90 votes for the unified calendar and 73 votes for the status quo.
All votes at Gene Howe and Arden Road elementary schools supported the unified calendar.
The total central administration staff also voted for the one calendar.
CISD teachers and other professional staff voted as follows:
Canyon High: unified, 25; traditional / alternate, 59;
Randall High: unified, 65; traditional / alternate, 14;
Canyon Junior High: unified, 33; traditional / alternate, 22;
Westover Park Intermediate: unified, 41; traditional / alternate, 14;
Valleyview Junior High: unified, 33; traditional / alternate, 21;

It's been quite an interesting couple of months... the weather has been really unstable in my neck of the woods, going from being sunny and 70 degrees one day to rainy and near freezing the next. But despite the weird weather, I have ventured out to the dirt mall on occassion, and made some interesting discoveries. So let's see what I've found over the past couple of months...
A very nice, boxed copy of Felix the Cat, off the webzone for under $25. If you've never played this NES title, it plays very much like a blatant Mario 3 clone, even moreso than McKids or Squashed. But still, it's a very fun and well made title, and if you ever come across a copy, pick it up and check it out.
Here's something one rarely finds in these parts... a Japanese Playstation, with a copy of the Super Mario 64 Nintendo Power soundtrack inside! Sadly, it had no cords or anything, and the CD was scratched to oblivion, so I let it pass by.
Otherwise, it was a pretty bad start to the year... until the last weekend in January. I hadn't planned to go the dirt mall, as it had disappointed me all month long, but a friend of mine said he was gonna go check out the weirdness, so I just decided to go and meet up with him there. I arrived about fifteen minutes early, and decided to take a look around while I waited. Passing by the usual vendors hocking Mario/Duck Hunt carts at $15 each, I came to one old guy who was just putting out boxes of junk. I noticed a Dr. Mario cart poking out of one of the boxes, and decided to take a look inside, thinking to myself...
"Hmmm, what have we got here... oh, Ninja Turtles 1... whatever... Dr. Chaos? No thanks... Ninja Turtles 3? Well, at least there's one good title... There's some SNES titles here too... Killer Instinct... huh, Super Metroid... that's cool... Final Fantasy II... Chrono Trigger...
Holy crap, Breath of Fire II? Damn!
Wait... you don't think....
No... it couldn't be in here too...
Please note all this was happening in my head. On the outside I managed to keep my poker face as I asked nonchalantly about the price of the games
"Oh, I don't know much about them video games," the bearded man said. "What dya wanna offer for em?"
Thank you God, I thought to myself
"Uh, five bucks each?"
"Sure, sounds good to me!"
As I grab Earthbound and Chrono Trigger, I start to dig through the rest of the box.
"Say, if you want, you can just have the whole box for forty dollars."
Without hesitating, I agreed.
I later met up with my friend and he found a cool mexican wrestling mask and some b.b. guns. So fun was had by all.
In the end, I scored some very nice NES and Super NES titles, as well as some extra controllers (not pictured), including, for some reason, a Sega Genesis controller. Weird.
A VERY nice beginning to the year... so what did YOU score so far this year?

Over the past several months, we have read stories and opinion pieces saying that South Carolina is not considered a "high risk" state for hurricanes. Most recently, we read it in Rep. Leon Stravrinakis' guest column on Feb. 1.
Let's set the record straight. This is a misleading and dangerous statement, and I am extremely concerned about the impact this will have on the homeowners insurance market in this state. I urge the South Carolina General Assembly to carefully evaluate these claims and to proceed with extreme caution before taking any action.
Just look at our previous history: Hurricanes Hugo, Hazel and Gracie, and the great Sea Island Storm of 1893, all significantly impacted our state. While no one knows when a hurricane will hit South Carolina, it is undeniable that we have exposure to these types of catastrophic events.
Hurricanes cause significant damage well beyond their specific point of landfall and often span hundreds of miles. Hurricanes are not the state's only risk exposure. In recent years, non-catastrophic wind events have driven losses.
I live and work along South Carolina's coast as a business person and insurance consumer. I remember what the market was like following hurricanes Rita, Allison and Katrina, which did not directly impact South Carolina. Markets were not readily available for some of my clients. The South Carolina Wind and Hail Underwriting Association was the only option for some of them. Today, I have markets. I am able to help my clients find insurance coverage. I would urge the General Assembly to proceed with caution and not take any action that would reduce the availability of insurance coverage in South Carolina.
Affordability and availability issues come in cycles, depending upon the nature of losses. This issue is separate and distinct from the issue of the qualifications of the current nominee for insurance director. We hope the Legislature will be guided by the provisions of South Carolina law.
South Carolina law provides that the insurance director must be selected with special reference to experience, technical knowledge and administrative experience in the insurance industry. Mr. Farmer appears to satisfy those qualifications.
Mr. Farmer has more than 40 years of insurance experience in the industry and as a regulator. If that does not qualify him for the position, I do not know what does.

Cosby has been a huge blessing to me. My mom found her in June 2008 stranded and starving, on the side of the road. Cosby was about 5 weeks old, underweight, and covered in fleas and ticks. My mom brought her home and surprised me with her- of course, I was ecstatic! I am a major animal lover, especially my horses and cats. For the 1st week, I had to dillute Cosby's food and take extra special care of her, for she was very fragile. Now, she is healthy and strong- and she loves to pounce on people! We joke that she is part cat, part dog, part ferret, and part bat! Though she is naughty, she is sweet and she loves to snuggle, and she loves me. We gave her the name "Cosby" because she came to us for a cause.

I have olive to dark skin that is oily and acne prone. the acne is under control but i used a 30% TCA peel. I think let it frost too much because the resulting top layer of dead skin is now hard and very dark. I moisturize a lot but it started cracking on the third day and I can see my new skin looking quite pink. i'm using a skin restore serum (mebo) and a moisturizer daily to slow it down and help my pigmentation along. how do I prevent loss of color and what if it happens? still peeling.

Resource management strategies for SDR clouds
SDR11, cloud_final.pdf (619.4Kb) (Restricted access)
Document typeConference report

Rights accessRestricted access - publisher's policy
This paper analyzes different resource management strategies for SDR base stations implemented as SDR clouds. SDR clouds describe distributed antennas that connect to a data center for digital signal processing. The data center employs cloud computing technology, providing a virtualized computing resource pool. The service area of a single SDR cloud may be a medium sized metropolitan area with a high user density. Hence, the data center will execute thousands of SDR applications—waveforms associated to different radio cells—in parallel. Whenever a user initiates or terminates a wireless communications session, computing resources need to be allocated or deallocated in real time. We therefore propose a hierarchical resource management approach and present simulation results that demonstrate its feasibility

The player auction for the 2014 Indian Premier League brought some surprises, with a number of players commanding enormous fees ahead of the world's top Twenty20 competition.
However, some players returning to the league have seen their stock drop somewhat, particularly compared to the last major player auction in 2011.
This can be for a variety of reasons, but it is noticeable just how many established stars went for less money than in previous editions.
Read on for five players who were sold at auction for much less than before.

Kelly Olynyk added 14 points and nine rebounds for Gonzaga (27-2, 14-0 West Coast Conference), which clinched at least a tie for the WCC regular-season title it yielded to Saint Mary's last year. It marks the 12th league title in 13 seasons for the Zags, who have set a team record for regular-season wins.
Chris Manresa scored 19 to lead San Diego (13-16, 6-8), which has lost four straight.
Gonzaga has never been ranked as high as No. 2 in the country. The Bulldogs have won 10 straight games since a last-second defeat at Butler. Their only other loss was to Illinois, and they have the best winning percentage in Division I.

Exudative age-related macular degeneration results in blindness due to the secondary effects of choroidal neovascularization. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been shown to play a role in the neovascularization associated with exudative age-related macular degeneration.1- 3 Anti-VEGF therapy has shown promise in treating this disease, along with other diseases that demonstrate pathological angiogenesis such as cancer.4- 7 With the success of treating pathological angiogenesis in disease states has come the unfortunate consequence of renal VEGF inhibition. Eremina and colleagues have demonstrated that the glomerular microvasculature is particularly susceptible to injury in thrombotic microangiopathy owing to local reduction in VEGF. They previously presented case studies demonstrating glomerular injury in patients with cancer who were treated with bevacizumab.8 They also showed that podocyte-specific elimination of VEGF production is sufficient to result in pronounced proteinuria and display of typical features of thrombotic microangiopathy in mice. These studies led to the hypothesis that paracrine VEGF signaling is critical for maintaining glomerular filtration barrier. This hypothesis was recently tested in an elegant study using transgenic mice.9 Here they demonstrated that normal glomerular filtration barrier is not affected by autocrine VEGF signaling in podocytes and that VEGF–VEGF receptor 2 paracrine signaling is required for glomerular structure and function. That is, production of VEGF by podocytes and its interaction with VEGF receptor 2 on glomerular endothelial cells is required for appropriate glomerular structure and function. Together these studies strongly suggest that continuous production of VEGF by podocytes is essential for maintenance of interactions between the podocytes and glomerular vasculature and filtration barrier. Although the initial case studies were patients with cancer who were being treated, it remains unknown how much renal VEGF inhibition is associated with multiple, in some cases monthly, intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF therapies for exudative age-related macular degeneration. Perhaps baseline and renal function during treatment (serum creatinine and urinary protein levels, blood pressure) should be carefully monitored to ensure that the improved visual acuity is not at the expense of renal function.

On the heels of ACV trying to get a LAX flight, a business group in Chico are trying to drum up interest in linking the community with LAX.
Chico today has 4 United Express SFO flights, and wants a link to Southern California as well.
Chico's proximity to Sacramento (~80-miles) have made previous attempts including even having a Federal SCASD grant in hand difficult to attract new air service.
Anyhow the folks in Chico now say they are in talks with Allegiant, Horizon and Skywest to try to get something going in the next year.
