Students are introduced to the career field opportunities available to Army officers.
Prerequisites: Sophomore standing and completion of MSCI 100-series courses, or permission of the Prof of Military Science
This course provides students with the opportunity to attain the next level of proficiency in physical fitness, basic soldier skills, problem solving, and leadership. This course introduces the operations order, a format for developing and communicating military operations, as well as further leadership development in effective communications, performance assessment, and counseling. Officer career field opportunities and responsibilities are also addressed in the course.
Prerequisites: Sophomore standing and completion of MSCI 201, or permission of the Prof of Military Science
Students participate in learning activities designed to provide practical experience in the use of the military decision-making processes. Oral presentation techniques and historical analysis of military decision-making are also critical components of the course.

This course serves as a pre-requisite to attendance at the U.S. Army Airborne School in the summer between sophomore and junior years.
This course is for those college students who want to complete Army ROTC training in two years. To qualify, you must complete a challenging and motivating 28-day training program at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Prerequisites: Junior standing and completion of the basic course (MSCI 100 and 200 series, or advanced placement)
Enrollment in this course marks a commitment to completing the ROTC program and receiving a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. To this end, cadets study and practice the leadership aspects of planning and executing small unit tactical operations. Further emphasis is given to development of leadership skills as measured by the Cadet Leadership Development Program, an evaluation system designed to improve an individual's competence as a military leader. Cadets get hands-on practice on these skills through assigned leadership positions within the cadet command structure. Cadets continue to refine their individual physical fitness and assist seniors in leading unit fitness sessions.

This course provides the cadets their final preparation for the Cadet Leader Course normally attended in the summer between junior and senior years.

Every Army ROTC Cadet who enters into the Advanced Course attends the Cadet Leader Course. It's a five-week summer course to evaluate and train all Army ROTC Cadets. This course normally takes place between your junior and senior years of college, and is conducted at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
Prerequisites: Senior standing and completion of MSCI 300-series courses
Cadets assume leadership roles within the cadet command structure. Cadets study the nature of military professionalism with respect to their future duties as officers.

It was an exciting year for the Prince Albert Winter Festival, which celebrated 50 years in the city.
There were a lot of people who came through the gate, although Prince Albert Winter Festival president Darrell Prokopie doesn't know the numbers yet.
"Sometimes it appeared the traffic flow through the site wasn't what we would have liked, but I think that was a case of they were elsewhere, out of sight on the site," Prokopie said. "It seems like a lot of people moved in the herd mentality. You would have a flood of people somewhere and somebody would make their way off somewhere to check something else out and the crowd would follow."
The outdoors activities did well, despite the frigid temperatures over the weekend.
"All in all I think we are happy. We did the best we could with everything," Prokopie said. "Mother Nature ultimately has the final say. Did she co-operate with us this year in terms of weather? Probably not, but you know it doesn't matter what season of event, weather is always a consideration."
Click HERE for a video taken of outdoor site activites, and HERE for a video of the Scouts' torch light parade and bonfire that kicked things off on Friday night.
The Winter Festival is not the only event that has to deal with bad weather -- the summer fair has also faced issues some years.
"Aside from that, we are very happy with the site, we were very happy with the turnout of participants, very happy with the turnout of spectators and people from our community coming to check out the festival," Prokopie said. "It was very nice to have everything back together again in terms in one stop shopping in the outdoor events."
He believes the cold weather may have deterred some people from coming to the riverbank to participate in the activities.
"If it would have been minus five or 10, I think our crowds would have been better, but again that is nothing we can control," Prokopie said. "We did the best we could do keeping the tents warm was an issue and things like that but it is winter and February in Saskatchewan. This can happen. It has been known to get cold here before."
All the events were located on the south side of the riverbank, from dogsled races on the river, the Scouts set up on the east side of the site and the King Trapper stage on the west side.
The dogsled sprints were a success, with mushers from all the western provinces, the Yukon and even some from the United States participating.
"We had dog mushers from all over and we hope we treated them well and they will be back next year," Prokopie said.
Click HERE for video footage of the sled dog sprint runs.
In addition to the dogsled sprints and King Trapper stage, there were plenty of other activities to enjoy, from a petting zoo and pony rides to snow sculptures, a fish fry and road hockey tournaments.
"We still have a little bit tonight to finish off in terms of the festival and that is our Country North Reunion show that is happening at 7 p.m. at the Exhibition Centre," Prokopie said. "We are coming to an end. It has been another hectic, busy year and we know we will see everybody in the next eight months when we start this all over again."
The volunteers are happy with the way the event went, but are ready for a rest after running the festival.
"We still have a lot of work to do in terms of cleanup but it went well and I hope the community feels the same way," Prokopie said.
Although the event went well, Prokopie is already looking for more volunteers to help out next year, as there was too much work for the small group who put together the festival this year.
"We are a small tired group and I think in order for the festival to continue on in any meaningful, large, impactful way, we certainly need new blood, certainly at the board level," Prokopie said. "(We need) people who will commit to the event who believe the event is important and come work with us for the four or five months it takes to plan this."
He is asking anyone who thinks the Winter Festival is worth saving to come out to help.
"We have made it through 50 years -- is this an event in some way, shape or form that we are going to want to celebrate being part of in five, 10 or 15 years down the road?" he asked. "We need a succession plan and we need ideas and we need people to carry it forward.
"I'm not saying it is all doom and gloom but I think it would be very difficult to put the festival on again with little bit of bodies we had in place," Prokopie added. "I think we are all overly exhausted and overwhelmed at this time. The whole festival has basically been put on by a group of four to five people. That is just quite tiring."
With three events being held in the city at once, Prokopie said the volunteer base may have been stretched too thin.
"I think anytime when you are dealing with one size pie and start cutting more slices out of it, everyone gets a smaller slice of pie," Prokopie said. "The pie didn't grow, just the number of mouths at the table did."
He is not sure if the influx of people to the city because of the number of events being held during the week had a negative or positive effect on the festival.
"I think even some of our events indoors, we would have liked to see a few more butts in seats at some of our shows and I know the Winter Games had entertainment happening parallel to when some of our stuff was happening," Prokopie said. "Did we see residual or spinoff from the games we were hoping to? I'm not really sure.
"There was an impact I think from the games, whether it was positive or negative, I guess we will figure that out as we decompress and debrief. It created challenges for sure."

Compassion was a point of emphasis Tuesday for a leadership speaker in La Crosse.
The speaker brought a message of resilience, respect, and responsibility to all three La Crosse Middle Schools.
He's hoping the students take the message to heart and show even more compassion to one another. "When we're more aware that we have the capacity to do simple random acts of kindness and that's really on our radar, it's amazing that internal vibe we feel about our self and then when we feel better about ourself, there's that trickle down effect to everyone else," said speaker Craig Hilier.
The speaker also hosted a breakout session for student council leaders.

Bigger isn't always better: Nokia Ovi Store apps downloaded 160% more than iOS apps
Bigger isn't always better: Nokia Ovi Store apps downloaded 160% more than iOS apps
Apple's iOS App Store is the world's most popular on-device mobile app portal by leaps and bounds, but that doesn't necessarily make it the best opportunity for developers according to Berlin, Germany-based market research firm research2guidance. Apple has a wide lead over competitors in terms of overall downloads and the number of applications in its App Store, but individual apps seemingly have a greater chance of success in rival offerings from Nokia, Microsoft and RIM. "The 'average app' has a better chance to generate downloads on 'non-hyped' platforms," the firm said in a press release on Wednesday. In the second quarter of 2011, the average application in Nokia's Ovi Store generated 160% more daily downloads than the average iOS app in Apple's App Store. Individual apps were downloaded from Microsoft's Windows Marketplace 80% more often each day than from the App Store on average, and apps in RIM's BlackBerry App World generated 43% more daily downloads than Apple's offering. Software titles in Google's Android Market were downloaded 5% less often each day compared to the iOS App Store, and Apple had HP's webOS App Catalog beat by 95% last quarter. Research2guidance's full press release follows below along with a chart outlining the firm's second-quarter data.

CNJ staff photo: Liliana Castillo Michelle Cordova, administrative assistant at Highland Elementary School, continued answering phones while those in and around the front office paused for the Pledge of Allegiance.
By Liliana Castillo: CNJ staff writer
It's 7:50 a.m. Wednesday on the first day of school at Highland Elementary and administrative assistant Michelle Cordova is in high demand.
Six parents are standing near the front office, children dressed in their new school clothes in tow, that need her attention. They have questions that the five teachers in the hallway couldn't answer.
With each parent's question, Cordova flits across the office to retrieve the proper form or binder. In most cases, Cordova addresses the children by name and the children answer with a smile and "Hi, Miss Michelle."
"We don't act like adults, we act like kids. We get down to their level," Cordova said, referring to the three women who occupy the front office; herself, the school nurse and last year's attendance secretary who came in to help. "The kids love us."
Among their duties are pointing parents to their child's classroom, enrolling students, taking children to class on occasion, handing out supply lists and making last-minute announcements.
School nurse Chris Garcia was also busy as parents and students handed her bottles of pills and inhalers along with doctors' notes.
Typical first day of school stuff, she said.
"There are kids who you know have a medical condition and need medication at school, but you don't have their medication," Garcia said, as she waited for a fax to a doctor to go through. "Then I have medication that I can't give to them because I don't have a doctor's note.
"I want to get everything in order to let the teachers know. Then there is the regular stuff such as nose bleeds."
After the tardy bell rings at 8:05 a.m., things slow down for the front office. Cordova and former attendance secretary Diana Montoya — who volunteered to help out because the spot hasn't been filled yet — begin making calls to the home of children registered for school who were not in attendance. Nearby Garcia continues faxing releases and calling doctors' offices.
Principal Matthew Trujillo said the front office staff plays a vital role in the school's success.
"They have to have an open, inviting personality. It speaks for the atmosphere of the school," Trujillo said. "That's what they see first. They are a model for the children."
David Briseno, executive director community relations for Clovis Municipal Schools, said the first day of school went smoothly district wide.
Members of the administration were assigned a school or two to visit on the first day. Briseno visited Parkview and Lockwood Elementary Schools and said he saw good things.
"I saw a lot of smiling faces. Lots of kids ready to go back to school."

What is in this article?:
- Senate farm bill draft released, promptly criticized in South
- AFBF letter
- Reaction of commodity and farm groups to the April 20 release of a Senate Agriculture Committee draft farm bill mixed.
- Several sectors of Southern agriculture especially critical of the proposed legislation.
Reaction of commodity and farm groups to the April 20 release of a Senate Agriculture Committee draft farm bill has been mixed. Several sectors of Southern agriculture are especially critical of the proposed legislation.
For more on the draft, see here.
Jeffrey Hall, who works legislative affairs for the Arkansas Farm Bureau, says while there was much discussion about creating the farm bill last fall during the "super committee" process, the draft's release "was the first time the public, commodity organizations and others actually had the opportunity to see legislative text." The Senate Agriculture Committee's 900-page draft farm bill "actually kicked off the first formal step in this long process.
"Looking at that, we don't feel what has been put forth will provide an adequate safety net for Southern agriculture. We have some concerns with the direction the bill goes."
Those concerns resulted in an April 23 letter to the Senate Agriculture Committee asking for a delay in the proposed bill's mark-up until "at least after the upcoming recess." The letter – sent by a group of over 40 agriculture-related organizations – says the "first blush impression is that the mark raises serious equity issues and grave concerns over planting distortions. We share in the committee's strong desire to produce an equitable bill that avoids the scenario in which the farm bill is driving planting decisions. By providing additional time for (committee members) and producers to fully analyze all the impacts of the proposal, the committee can help avoid this result."
For the full letter, see here.
While the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) hasn't given a full-throated endorsement of the Senate draft, it has provided encouragement for several things that Hall says would be detrimental to Southern producers. This criticism will come as no surprise as Farm Bureau offices in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi have dissented from AFBF farm bill policies passed at the organization's annual meeting in January.
Note: Although members of AFBF, state Farm Bureau offices operate independently.
Why the dissent?
"The problem that the three states have in common is we're heavy in rice and cotton," said Hall in mid-March. "Also, we all have a lot of irrigated acreage. We have different issues with irrigated corn than the Midwest, which doesn't irrigate (like the Mid-South does).
"The common thread for the three states was the 'catastrophic deep loss' proposal that AFBF has been talking about, the two policies passed at the convention (concerning that proposed) safety net program. We've run the numbers with University of Arkansas economists and it won't provide the kind of safety net that our farmers feel they need to stay in business.
"It's tough to write a farm bill during a time of high prices. We write them for the difficult times. But we must create a program that protects farmers during those difficult times. We don't feel that the 'catastrophic deep loss' program adequately does that."
Despite reservations from Southern states – which were again expressed during a Monday conference call with the organization's board of directors -- AFBF President Bob Stallman sent a letter (scroll down to see full text) to the Senate Agriculture Committee urging the draft be used "as a vehicle to move the farm bill to the Senate floor in a timely manner." Perhaps as a nod to Southern concerns, AFBF also stated the draft has room for improvement and needs refining.
Hall, who spoke with Farm Press on Monday afternoon, said the Senate plan would "eliminate direct payments, counter-cyclical programs as well as ACRE and the SURE programs that affect crop producers. It would create 'shallow loss' or ARC (Agriculture Risk Coverage Eligible Acres) and we have concerns about how that would protect rice and irrigated crops grow in the South."
The $23 billion proposed savings through the "super committee" process remain intact in the Senate Agriculture Committee's draft.
"There are some other changes we have concerns with on the conservation compliance issues," said Hall. "Those are linked to the new 'shallow loss' and marketing loan program but not to crop insurance.
"The marketing loan does stay intact in this bill and keeps the same loan rates for all the commodities except cotton. I believe that cotton, with the STAX program (Stacked Income Protection Plan), may see reductions in the loan rate."
For more on STAX, see here.
Specifically for rice, where do things stand?
"Under this first draft, rice and peanuts are the two commodities that would have the amount of protection reduced drastically," said Hall. "The bill would mandate the USDA to establish an insurance program by 2013. (The USDA's Risk Management Agency) is already creating that product for rice and peanuts.
"The initial analysis of what this draft bill provides for the rice industry shows it would cut 70 percent of its baseline."
The Senate approach to Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) would be another major change.
"The last farm bill had 'farm' and 'non-farm' categories -- $750,000 and $500,000, respectively," said Hall. In the draft, "'farm' and 'non-farm' are combined and the total is dropped to $900,000.
"The payment limit didn't change anything on eligibility. However, it changes the payment limits to $50,000 under the 'shallow loss' program. That's a $50,000 payment limit for you and/or a spouse.
"With the size of the operations in the South that would be problematic -- a drop in the bucket."

Why cancer patients should weigh this option from day one
Clinical trials are the place where cancer research and patient care come together. For those who qualify, trials can provide access to the latest cancer treatments -- but most patients know very little about this option, says Katie Dahlquist, who leads the Clinical Trials Matching Service at our National Cancer Information Center. Here, Katie responds to questions she and her team hear daily from patients and caregivers.
How do clinical trials work?
These are studies by cancer experts who've developed a new treatment and need further proof of its effectiveness. Study leaders give clear criteria outlining the kinds of patients who can take part.
For example, they may seek patients with colon cancer who've just been diagnosed, or children with blood cancers who've tried standard treatments without success. Trials take place all over the U.S. and are classified as Phase 1, 2 or 3 – with Phase 3 being the final step before FDA approval.
What are the benefits of taking part?
For those who qualify, clinical trials can provide cutting-edge treatment supervised by excellent medical teams. We recommend that every time someone is making a treatment decision, clinical trials be considered among the options.
Will I get a placebo instead of real treatment?
That's the #1 worry we hear. The good news is that all trial patients receive either the standard treatment or the new treatment that's being tested – never less.
Aren't clinical trials only for people who've tried all the other options?
No. Many studies take newly diagnosed patients, so it's OK to ask your doctor about trials from the very start.
Will my doctors think I don't trust them if I ask about this option?
We work closely with doctors, nurses and clinicians to coordinate care for hundreds of patients. Even those who don't end up choosing clinical trials say that by opening the discussion with their doctors, they learned more and felt more involved in their own care.
If I want to consider being in a trial, how can the American Cancer Society help?
Our clinical trials specialists are always ready to support patients and loved ones. We use a database with information on 9,000 current trials to match patients with trials based on their unique needs. Once you've selected a trial, we can help you contact the trial sponsor and link you with helpful resources – for example, our free air miles program with United Airlines for those who travel for treatment.
Can I call even if I'm not sure and just want to talk it over?
Whatever form of cancer you have, we're here for you and your family. Even if you don't choose a clinical trial in the end, the conversation may make you feel clearer about the process. Reach out to us anytime you want to learn more.

Cumberland River
Here are some quotes from Art Lander's interview with a Mr. Kinman printed in the Lexington Herald this weekend (January 28, 2007). I can't tell if Mr. Kinman is with Ky Fish & Wildlife or TVA.
Question: How will water levels and fishing conditions in the tailwaters (Cmberland River) be affected by the lake's severe drawdown?
Answer: "There will be a normal fluctuation (in river level) based on rainfall," Kinman said. The danger to trout populations will come during the dry months of the year, at low flow. To ensure proper water temperature and flow, Kinman said a minimum discharge of 500 to 600 cubic feet per second of water is needed. "This will prevent (large expanses) of exposed gravel, which over time could be harmful to aquatic insect life."
He said the Army Corps of Engineers "is willing to work with us on this. They understand the dangers to trout populations in the tailwaters." And the oxygenation of water discharged into the tailwaters isn't a problem. "The coldest water from the bottom of the lake can be run through the sluice gates and oxygenated as it sprays up over the concrete apron at the base of the dam."
Question: Will water temperatures and dissolved oxygen levels be monitored?
Answer: "Yes, after July," Kinman said. August through October are the most critical months for a major fish kill.
Re: Cumberland River
I personally feel there are systems to minimize the potentials for damage to fish already in the tailwaters with the monitoring and the remediation that can be done to increase the oxygen levels when needed. My biggest concern is the effect of the draw on the hatchery production. The concrete sluices that feed into the hatchery will be located above the waterline when the lake is drawn to the height of 680 feet. With no water feeding the concrete streamways into the hatchery, there will be no hatchings nor fingerling production. Since KDFW produces in excess of one million trout a year, of which approximately 900K are released in the state, the loss of production will be felt for a couple of years after the dam repairs begin.
Re: Cumberland River
Good point and I know little about how that hatchery get's it's water. That was addressed in the Lexington Herald article yesterday.
Question: Is the drawdown going to affect trout production at the Wolf Creek National Hatchery?
Answer: Again it depends on rainfall, and how much of the cold water stored in the lake is discharged to maintain elevation at 680. Water from the lake is used to rear the trout in concrete raceways. At lake elevation 680, one of the three intakes that feed water to the hatchery won't be operational. "We have concerns during the summer months," said James Gray, hatchery manager. The ideal temperature range (for trout) is 50 to 55 degrees. If water temperatures rise into the 60's that creates problems." Water from lower levels of the lake will most likely have less disolved oxygen and that could also influence the number of trout that can be raised. Gray said he can't predict to what extent production could be affected. "There are a lot of variables, but there's potential for a big impact."
If the above statements are correct maybe the production will decrease but not be totally stopped. Maybe federal funds could be obtained to make changes in the hatchery to keep up production. I don't know, I'm just hoping.
Re: Cumberland River
Why not pump water from the river?
If the river temps are adequate the investment in pumps and necessary hosing will be worthwhile
Re: Cumberland River
After the draw down, the water levels at the river will drop as well. Any pumping from the river will further deplete an already depleted oxygen level. The amount of pressure required to pull water back up hill to the hatchery sluices themselves will not make it feasible. The best source would be the lake itself with some type of chiller to reduce the water temperature coming into the hatchery, if that is possible.
Re: Cumberland River
There is now way pumping will deplete O2 levels any more, they would remain the same
I dont know the elevation differences from the river to the dam vs what it may be from pumping from (I presume already available inlets). As the hose would have to go to a certain depth to get cool water the suction pressure required on pumps from the lake side of the river may be higher than the down stream side.
Re: Cumberland River
There are currently no inlets to pump uphill from the river. Ideally, you would have to pull the water from the lake on other side of the dam. The concern is the water temperature that must be below 60 degrees for hatching and fingerling production. The river lays almost in a ravine below the hatchery and the dam and the available pools to pump from would actually be further downstream.
Re: Cumberland River
A pool would not have to be very deep to pump from. However the volume of water, the rate it could be replenished vs the rate it would be pumped out would be of major importance
It was a thought I do not know the exact structure in place there to get water during normal operation nor any details about below the dam
Re: Cumberland River
Assume worst case scenario. What should be the response of FF in the event of taking the fish as opposed to watching them suffocate? Will this mean wading will be easier/same/ harder than before? Will fishing overburden weakened population? Watson
Re: Cumberland River
If it's like it was in the late 60's and early 70's during the previous dam repairs, Wolf Creek will be down dramatically. There will be pools to fish in but fishing will be spotty unless you are further down near Burkesville, etc. That was the reason for one of my previous post when it was suggested to pump water to the hatchery. There will not be an abundant source of water to pull from and when you reduce the amount of water in the individual pools, the water temperature will increase and oxygen decrease resulting in the suffocation of fish. Since this entire project is dependent on the Army Corps of Engineers, there is little being discussed from a Kentucky Department of FIsh and Wildlife perspective on what can be done to minimize the potential damage to fishing. We'll all just have to stay informed to see what the conservation groups can do to help.

Abigail bags lolly for club
A Prestwich girl has won a national ice-lolly competition to build a £15,000 dream youth den at Manchester Maccabi after receiving hundreds of thousands of online votes.
Abigail Stephens, 12, entered the Design a Fab Den competition by Fab ice lollies and was announced as the overall winner from 4,000 entries. The competition asked youngsters to submit their designs to transform a local community centre.
The King David High School pupil won the most online votes for her multimedia, ice-lolly-themed den which includes a sofa in the Fab colours.
"I'm delighted that my dreams for the den will now come true," she said.
Manchester Maccabi chairman Bradley Feld said Abigail's den could be purpose-built after the club has been granted planning permission for an open-plan indoor extension. "We aim to raise sufficient funds to build that."

Brass Knuckles Release "Tron-Like" Video for "As Long as I'm Alive"
Andrew Soria: airosdesign.com and andrewsoria.com
Brass Knuckles is a South Florida-based EDM trio whose new video for "As Long as I'm Alive," featuring John Ryan, has impressively accrued more thank 35K views on YouTube in only three days.
The Ultra Music-signed group includes Tony Livadas, Danny D'Britto, and Anthony Pisano, who all met behind the musical scenes at the Hit Factory before stepping into the spotlight themselves. Given Pisano's LIV residency, the bi-costal nature of their act (Miami to L.A. and back), their penchant for playing instruments live, and the popularity of their dark party Electrik Circus, it's no surprise this video and song are making the web all hot and bothered.
Director Ben Fee also claims the Lumineers' "Ho Hey" as one of his own creations. This is his first foray into the electronica scene, and what a brave move, from folk chants to beat drops. If you like tall Euro blonds in leather who don't mind exposing a little ass cheek, this video is going to get you off. The song is a high-energy, dreamy, and most importantly, a catchy club anthem.
We hit up Fee to ask him about the specifics of this project and he explained it as sort of a "Tron-like car commercial with a sleek look."

New Times: What made you want to do this project?
Ben Fee: Well, my friend Esther Park approached me about doing a video with this local Miami group Brass Knuckles. She has her finger on the 120bpm pulse of Miami, so I not only trusted her, but I wanted to work with her in her awesome city.
I also want to make music videos for all genres of music, and apply a general sensibility to whatever genre I might be working within. I feel like that's the way Danny Boyle approaches films -- which is something I totally respect. It keeps one sharp and adaptable.
Andrew Soria: airosdesign.com and andrewsoria.com
How is this different from all the other music videos you have done, i.e. Lumineers, Sallie Ford, etc.?
Well this is not a folk or rock song, and with that comes a certain vibe that changes as well. It was certainly fun to spin up some images to this song though. It creates a different type of image in my mind than rock or folk does.
Andrew Soria: airosdesign.com and andrewsoria.com
Where did the idea come from?
The song "As Long as I'm Alive" is very slick. It also has a sense of loneliness and yearning to it. Also a sexiness. So within those emotions and feelings right there, sprung the video. I wanted to make a Tron-like car commercial with a sleek look, but instead of advertising a car, I wanted to advertise a lonely, sexy babe. And I wanted her bathed in pinks and purples, and neons.
So there's sexiness. There's a solitariness to her behavior and attitude. And damn, there's a yearning as well, I think. And then I bathed it in colors that I thought looked like the song sounds.
What's next for you as music video director?
Shucks, I just wanna do more and more of everything and anything. Just looking forward to springing more to life from the brain team!

I received an email from Jim Curtis of Chicago who writes:
Hey beerbloggers,As a lapsed rural Canadian homebrewer of some note in the circles whose thirst I fed and no farther, I was dependent on beer making mail order supplies which I shipped in from either 150 miles away or even 2000 miles away. My main supplier was Saskatchewan's Paddock Wood and the shipping of quality goods made all the difference - especially PWB cleaner and San Star sterilizer. I notice that Jim stocks both - that's good. I quite like the set up of the web page which allows, for example, one page buying of a large variety of grains as opposed to use of a page per item. Mmmm....Vienna malt...120L crystal malts. I could grind up some of that to sprinkle on ice cream right now.
My name is Jim Curtis and I'm a homebrewer from the west suburbs of Chicago. I have a general beer and brewpub info site at www.beer100.com. I have just quit my government job and opened a brewing shop in Wheeling, IL. The site for that is www.perfectbrewing.com
Just thought you might be interested in a guy who quit a job that was easy money for life to sell bags of hops and barley.
Reports from the frontlines, Jim. Send us a story about a trip to the wholesalers or your efforts to build client base. It is all good and interesting stuff.

This is a message from the Moore List, which updates what we know about this letter.
Dear Moores,
For those of you who are new to the list, I am again attaching the 1846 letter, and will tell you a little about it. Joyce and Bill Cooper of California went to the little town of New Pine Creek, Ore., on the California border, looking for clues as to his great grandmother, Matilda Moore Vincent. An elderly lady in the town had this letter in a shoebox. Matilda is my great aunt. For me, this letter was a breakthrough, after 25 years of searching for our Oliv Moore's relatives with no luck. In it, Pleasant Moore talks about cousin Phebe who married a man named Banks, livinged in Green county, Kentucky. Last March, my 3rd cousin, Jerry Moore of WV happened to see a query on Genforum from one George Moore in Scarborough, England about a Phebe Moore of Green county, Kentucky. The rest is history. On a leather animal hide which George says was in his grandfather's trunk, are written family names, dates, etc. Although the information is very sketchy, we believe that it was either our Oliv Moore, or some of his relatives who wrote on the hide, then shipped it back to England upon the wish of one John Moore when he died. There is a lot of digging to be done, but we think the four cousin's parents were: Pleasant - son of Oliv Moore who may have md. Salley Gregory in Virginia, and moved to Kentucky to be near children when they were old.
Grandison - son of Mathew Moore who settled in Kanawha county, WV a few miles from where Oliv settled.
Phoebe - daughter of John Moore who raised his family in Pocahontus county, WV and is said to have been from Pennsylvania.
Oliv - son of ________Moore. Lots of speculation on Oliv's parentage, but no documentation, as yet.
One letter George scanned for us was written by a minister in England, for a member of his congregation, Francis Moore, and in it she mentions John in America being married in the church, and Ollie also being married. She says "old Francis misses her sons" and talks about their grandmother looking for them to come back from American every day. Possibly, they came with the Quaker movement to PA, but we aren't sure.
Well, hope this is helpful and informative to you who are new.

Student Profile
James O'Donnell
I studied a Bachelor of Arts as well as several business and IT subjects, as I knew the mix would benefit me one day.
UQ gave me a lot of options and was a very nice place to study, hang out with friends, meet new people and attend loads of events.
The staff and support were great! The campus is a really relaxed place and the facilities are excellent. What else do you need?
After graduating, I created my own Australian–Chinese Business Consultancy Group for companies that want to import or export with China. Everything I studied at UQ helped me to develop my whole company.

With all the tempting and delicious food choices, it is very difficult to lose weight. If you are seriously thinking about losing weight without cutting down on your food intake or starving yourself; there is good news. You can try VLCDs (Very Low Calorie Diets) that control your calorie intake and substitute your regular food with healthy and nutritious food that provide energy without added calories.
These diets can be easily followed at home if you intend to lose about 1-2 kilograms in a week. Otherwise, for people with obesity issues, it is medically recommended to follow the diet plan and lose weight quickly. The best part of it is that you really do not have to starve to death to lose the extra bulges from your body.
With 800 calorie diet, you should be cautious about not overdoing it as it may result in serious health issues and nutritional deficiencies. The rate at which you lose calories can be a serious hazard on insulin levels and heart rate. So if you are on medication, it is advisable to consult a medical expert before undertaking the weekly diet plan.
The plan is to take food that completes your daily nutritional requirement of proteins, minerals, vitamins and fatty acids. This is achieved by healthy eating and liquid meals with total calories being less than 800.
800 Calorie Diet Weight Loss
Benefits of Weight Loss on 800 Calorie Diet
- For overweight people who rapidly need to lose weight, VLCDs aid in quick loss of weight without making the person weak and inactive. Remember, you are just watching out for foods high on calorie and avoiding it and increasing intake of food that are high on energy.
- There are various health problems that are related to overweight. A few of them being cardiac problems, gastrointestinal issues, respiratory disorders and in extreme cases fertility is also affected. The best solution for these is a VLCD plan for a week or two.
- For individuals with a very busy schedule and no time to hit the gym, it is the easiest and simplest way to reduce a few pounds here and there.
Precautions to be Taken While on 800 Calorie Meal Plan Weight Loss
- A sudden change in diet affects the body in more than one way. Therefore do not force it on the body as extremely low calories may result in fatigue and diarrhea. Give your body some time to adjust to the diet.
- Do not overdo. It may be important and healthy to lose a few pounds, but take breaks between weeks. Following VLCDs continuously may result in long term problems on kidney, liver and heart functions.
A Sample 800 Calorie Weight Loss Plan:
Read on for what you can have for meals and snacks during the day keeping overall calorie count less than 800.
Options for Breakfast:
- A cup of low calorie cereal with 3/4th cup skimmed milk
- 2 Slices of brown or any low calorie bread with an egg
- Unsweetened low fat yogurt and one hard-boiled egg
Options for Meals:
About 145-150 grams of meats, with a portion of vegetables and fruits each can be boiled or steamed with limited spices or cooked in low calorie oil or no oil. These foods should be very high on protein and low on carbohydrates.
Meats can comprise of blue/white fish, tuna, shrimp, lobster etc. Vegetables like broccoli, lettuce, celery, cabbage, onion, eggplant etc., are a great choice. And from fruits one can choose berries, oranges, grapefruit or pineapple.
[ Read: 1500 Calorie Diet Plan ]
For Snacks:
You can have beverages like green tea, or any of the fruits and/or unsweetened low fat yogurt.
Keeping the calorie intake of each food item in mind, you may formulate your own diet plan for the day. However, if it is a compulsion to lose weight for health reasons, approach a dietitian so that your diet is loaded with nutrition and energy.

Townends estate agents round off the year and give their predictions for the 2013 lettings market
Caroline Kavanagh, Managing Director of Townends Lettings & Management who operate primarily in London, Surrey, Middlesex and North Hampshire, comments on market activity from 2012 and gives her predictions for the lettings market in 2013.
"At the start of this year, a spring lift in residential sales encouraged some accidental landlords to test their properties on the sales market, but this brief stint was followed by a fair few returning to lettings only a few months later. Those that now remain, appear to have reached a level of comfort whereby the benefits of becoming a professional landlord are increasingly apparent and outweighing any desire to sell. As a result, it's unlikely we will see an influx rushing to sell next year but rather decisions will be based on individual circumstances. Equally, its unlikely there will be a further flurry of accidental landlords as we appear, for now, to have reached 'a new norm' in an overall more stable sales market.
"The high demand and lack of stock which, over the past 18 months, has forced rapid rent rises in the areas within which we operate, ranging from between 10% and 30%, were simply not sustainable. Rents now appear to have peaked for the time being as a steadier number of instructions make tenants feel more inclined to consider the options out there, although this has left some landlords' rental expectations for continual rises in the New Year, a little out of kilter. As we move through 2013, key elements such as price versus location versus property condition will drive the market, and as affordability continues to impact tenants we will see even more taking an open minded approach to making a sideways move in order to find something cheaper or avoid a rise. It will be the shrewd landlords that are flexible enough to avoid driving their tenants out, but rather adapt with local market conditions, that do well.
"Frugality continues to be the underlying factor for both tenants and landlords wanting more for their money. Landlords have become more in tune with what to expect from their agent and as well as being about the quality of service provided, landlords also want a guarantee for the quality of tenant that agent will supply. This will have an increasingly positive impact on the market next year, encouraging those that are good at what they do to raise the bar even further, subsequently benefiting tenants.
"Overall, 2013 is set to remain a positive time to be a landlord and we would anticipate seeing many existing landlords re-investing and widening their portfolios. It's possible these more stable rent levels could be sustained throughout much of 2013, with the exception of pockets of the market which consistently outperform others. Tenants will also remain in an increasingly advantageous position as ARLA continue to put pressure on the Government to regulate the industry in order to protect tenants' welfare. Existing policies will continue to be strengthened forcing landlords to be ever more professional and demonstrating to tenants the importance of using an ARLA or TPO registered agent."

Bush Gives an Inch on Iraq
Posted on May 10, 2007
President Bush says he is now willing to talk about setting up benchmarks to gauge progress in Iraq, perhaps responding to pressure from both sides of the political aisle. However, he also made it clear Thursday that he's going to reject another bill expected to pass soon in the House that would stop funding for the Iraq war this July.

Don't be fooled! What Bush means by "benchmarks" is not what everybody else means. For Bush, benchmarks are just amorphous guidelines that may or may not be met - it really doesn't matter. The bottom line: George Bush does not intend, for any reason whatsoever, to EVER leave Iraq. For one thing, the military-industrial complex won't allow it. For another, Bush's definition of "victory" is the complete annihilation of all Iraqis who believe that Iraq belongs to them, not Exxon-Mobil, Chevron, and Halliburton. His delusion is that "victory" will save him from going down in history as the worst president ever. What he doesn't seem to understand: that train has already left the station.
By James Yell, May 11, 2007 at 6:31 am Link to this comment
Bush is one of those people who can not tell the truth, about anything. People he is a liar and his administration has been one continual lie, elected by lies, sustained by lies and lawless behavior. We now know that the reasons for invasion was wholly fabricated from the first, why is this man still in office? Why are we still in Iraq, except to steal or control the oil? I think the answer is so the already grossly rich can be even more so. Down with kleptomania politicalous.
By vet240, May 10, 2007 at 9:38 pm Link to this comment
bu$h is doing as I expected. He is simply buying time in order to assure the troops will still be fighting and dying when he leaves office.
He is a Sociopath who doesn't care how many have to die to preserve his legasy.
He and his followers know that the next President (a Democrat most likely will be left holding the baghdad.
Don't worry, each of us will get to hold a small piece of it too in the form of a mountain of debt so big our Great-Grand children will be paying on it.
By Milton Kirby, May 10, 2007 at 7:07 pm Link to this comment
Bush isn't giving up anything. This is how public opinion is manipulated. A month or two ago, articles written at http://www.atimes.com were reporting that the Bush administration had had enough of the democratically elected government in Iraq. There was talk of an engineered coup and putting Iyad Allayi back in power. This is still a possibility. Guess what it depends on? You guessed it. Benchmarks!! The first, and the reason that Cheney went to Iraq, is the passage of the "Lets give all the oil to the American and British oil companies Law". The Iraqis are hesitant to just hand over their resources and ChainOil had to pressure them in person. Another Benchmark is the control of the Shi'ite death squads that were trained by whoever Bush hires to train death squads. So now, two months later, "Benchmarks"
By Tanna, May 10, 2007 at 3:19 pm Link to this comment
People are missing the point with this announcement. He is using the call for 'benchmarks', specifically to pressure the Iraq's, with the support of Congress, into signing away their oil rights to US oil interests.
The "..legislation to share Iraqs oil wealth, hold provincial elections and update the constitution." is all about codifying control of the oil reserves by others than the Iraqi poeple, since they would have minority rep on the new proposed oil board controlling contracts. The other reps (majority) would be from the major oil companies.
It is another attempt to disguise and manipulate, and of course the press is going along for the ride.

So, who gets to tell Deadeye Dick that he's all wrong on the benchmarks?
Byron York?
William "The Vampire" Kristol?
Dickhead's carrying, people… just check out that XXXXXXXXXXXXXL flak jacket he cowered behind as he slunked off Air Force Two in Baghdad… looking for the nearest Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.

What a guy.28% approval rating.Majority of the Iraqis want us out.His party is just about to revolt against his policies and he is willing to negotiate.

Arrested:Marco L. Romero, 29, Middleton
Charged: Robbery (F), Possession of a stolen vehicle (F), Possession of a controlled substance (m), Possession of drug paraphernalia (m), providing false information to an officer (m)
At ths time, officers have evidence the suspect(s) appear to have targeted the victim residence and the crime was not random.
What Happened: Boise Police were called at 8:10 last night, Monday, Oct. 15th to a report of a robbery that had just taken place at a residence near Kootenai and Roosevelt Streets. When officers arrived, they found a two adult male victims inside, one who reported being threatened at gunpoint, the other who reported he was hit on the head with a blunt object. One victim reported several personal items taken. Also taken was the victims vehicle, a white sedan, that officers immediately entered into a national crime information computer as stolen.
Suspect, Stolen Vehicle Recovered: Shortly after midnight this morning, Boise Police were alerted by Ada County Sheriff's Deputies that the stolen vehicle was located parked at a rest stop just east of Boise off I-84. As officers arrived, they saw the suspect walking toward the vehicle carrying a baseball bat. He initially provided a false identity to officers. Officers then noticed the suspect had a small plastic baggie of marijuana hanging out of his pants pocket. The suspect was arrested. Further investigation led officers to evidence connecting the suspect Romero to the Kootenai Street Robbery.
The investigation remains ongoing including the involvement of a second suspect.
Arrested: Jeremy I. Davis, 19, Boise
Arrested: 17 year old male, Boise
Arrested: 14 year old male, Boise
All Charged: Robbery (F), Resisiting and Obstructing officers (m)
At ths time, officers believe the victim residence was targeted and the crime was not random.
What Happened: Boise Police were called at 12:57 a.m. this morning to a robbery in progress at an apartment near S. Denver Ave and Belmont Street. Several officers responding to the call saw a group of young males running from the area. As some officers responded to the victim's residence, others went after the running suspects. The suspects were ordered repeatedly by officers to stop. The suspects did not comply and kept running through alleys and neighbors yards. At one point, officers saw them try to enter another nearby apartment but the front door was locked and they continued to run from officers.
Officers caught one suspect and took him into custody in a parking lot on the 1100 block of S. Broadway Ave. Another officer continued to chase a second suspect over a fence and caught him in a parking lot also on the 1100 block of S. Broadway.
A Boise Police K9 was called to help search for the two final suspects after recieving information the suspects may be armed. The dog tracked one suspect across several front and backyards in the area of Longmont Ave. and Rossi Street. The K9 located the suspect hiding in some bushes. The K9 did bite the suspect. He was treated and released by paramedics and, per department policy, taken to a nearby ER for additional evaluation, medically released and taken into custody.
The two juvenile suspects remain in custody of juvenile detention authorities. The adult suspect, Davis, was booked into the Ada County Jail on the above charges.
At the victim's residence, officers learned the suspects had entered the home, threatened two people inside with what appeared to be a club and a handgun, and stole several items belonging to one of the victims. Several of the items taken have been recovered by officers.
Arrested: Forrest D. McGrath, 18, Boise
Charged: Burglary (F)
Boise Police were called by employees of a retail store on the 100 block of E. Myrtle Street shortly after 7:00 last night. Witnesses told officers they watched as the suspect placed food items in a basket then left the store without paying. Further investigation revealed evidence the suspect entered the store with the intention of committing the crime, resulting in the felony burglary charge. He was booked into the Ada County jail.
