Ron Maxwell At The Liberty Civil War Seminar 2009
This year's CW seminar at Liberty University was truly a delight. As many of you already know, this year's theme was the Civil War in cinema. Over the next few days, I'll be posting some photos and comments about the event which I attended last weekend. This photo is, of course, yours truly with movie producer and director, Ron Maxwell. (Yeah, I know, I should have smiled.) Mr. Maxwell is holding a copy of my most recent book, which I presented to him after a late night chat we shared on Friday after the banquet. Upon returning to the Carter Glass Mansion (where we stayed the whole weekend) Friday evening, my wife and I decided to venture to the kitchen for a snack. There we bumped into Ron and spent some time discussing Gods & Generals and Jim Lewis. Since Lewis' figure was portrayed in Gods & Generals and Ron was interested in Lewis, I gave him a copy of my book, which has a whole chapter on the "mysterious" Jim Lewis.
We also discussed the director's cut of the film, which contains an additional hour and fort-five minutes. In this portion of the film, there is a sub-plot which follows John Wilkes Booth and the assasination of President Lincoln. There is also additional footage showing details of camp life, the Battle of Antietam, and more of the perspectives of African-Americans. Warner Brothers holds the rights to this and has not yet decided when or if it will be released. I mentioned the upcoming Sesquicentennial and Maxwell agreed that would be good timing to release the director's cut. We'll see.
Ron also discussed his desire to find funding for the last film in the CW trilogy: Last Full Measure. One thing that everyone agreed on: the current economic downturn is making it increasingly unlikely for studios and filmmakers to take on CW projects. Hopefully, that will change. However, as Brian Wills noted during his presentation, due to the time involved in making a good CW film, the project would have to start this year in order to be released during the WBTS' 150th. We were also informed by several reliable sources that the much anticipated Manhunt film, starring Harrison Ford, was dead due to costs and concerns over profitability. That's a shame as it looked like it was going to be a fascinating film. Stay tuned, more to come in the days ahead.

Manhunt's rights have been sold to HBO to be made into a miniseries. It will be out in the next year or two.
Spielberg is making a Lincoln biopic with Liam Neeson as Abe. That will be out before 2011.
Jeff Shaara told me at a book signing he was writing a Gettysburg script for movie producers.
The Civil War movie is in a ditch, but not buried.

Thanks Jared. I suppose the information I received pertained specifically to the Harrison Ford version. Another Gettysburg?! That's strange.
I agree, the CW movie will be back. There's just too much to resist.

What is the theme and point of view in "The Scent of Apples"?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
The theme of the short story, "The Scent of Apples" is about how first generation immigrants experience a sense of loss and seek connection to their past life even if they had created a life for them in the new world. The story revolves around Santos and a Filipino farmer from Indiana called Celestino Fabia. Santos tells the story from his point of view. The plot is fairly direct. Santos is delivering a lecture on life in the Philippines when Fabia, excited by the notion of someone, anyone from his native Philippines speaking, attends the lecture and interrupts his speaking about how Filipino women have changed from 20 years ago the present time. The two men strike up a conversation and Fabia invites Santos to his farm for dinner the next day. Santos meets his family, eats dinner, experiences "the scent of apples" that comes from his orchard and the kitchen. The ending of the story emerges when Santos is dropped off at his hotel and Fabia states that this will be the last time they see one another. The characters of the story are Fabia, an immigrant from the Philippines who has lived in a farm in the midwest for the last 20 or so years. His wife, Ruth, who is devoted to her husband, as her name suggests. Their son, and Santos. The main idea of the story is to stress that the immigrant experience, particularly the Filipino one, is a unique experience within the lexicon of American thought. It stresses and explains different elements which range from isolation, alienation, joy, happiness, reverie, and recollection. To be an immigrant is to live amongst "the scent of apples," something not as present in the homeland, yet strangely reminding of it.

Just Finished Hunter's Safety Class
Well.I finally did it,got my safety certificate.I hunted my first time last year with my father in law under an apprentice' license,and I decided I liked it.We hunt whitetail by the way.But in order to hunt you must have a hunter's safety certificate if you were born after january 1st 1960,here in Michigan,or hunt with an "adult" under the apprentice license.I felt kind of funny being 29 years old,and most of the students being 10-14,but I had to do it.It took about 13 hours total for the 2 day class.So,i'm ready to go,still got to make sure my .444 is still sighted in,got my orange ready,now it's time to get another buck!
Great step!
With all that work in your back pocket, be safe and go out and get one! http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...ons/cowboy.gif
I getting more and more adults in my hunter safety classes, Anyone born before Jan. 1, 1973 here in Wisconsin is grandfathered in and doesn't need to take the class. Although, there are many states in the west and also providences in Canada where hunter ed card is mandatory no matter how old you are. Kudos to you.
my mother in law got her hunting license without hunter's safety,and she was born AFTER jan 1st 1960.I believe that she got her first license before the law was enacted,so she was able to keep getting more.It's only "first time hunters" that need to go to hunter's safety if they were born after jan 1st 1960.
I'm not sure about NC but I think once you reach a certain age you don't have to take the hunters safety class. I took it when I was 10 or 11 so I never worried about it. I would feel funny too being 29 in a class with kids.
Glad to hear you got it out of the way though and are on your way to many years of hunting. You'll be glad you did it. Getting after the whitetails this year??
After moving to France I had to do some study and both theory and practical tests to get a hunting permit (permis de chasse) - I was 40 and English, everyone else was 16-18 and French!
Tuition and tests were conducted in French of course, so it forced me to learn a load of new vocabulary. The practical tests were also very particular, so I had to unlearn some "bad habits" - which was also good. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks IF the right to hunt depends on it!
Good luck with the whitetail.

Synchronization of estrus in suckled beef cows before detected estrus and (or) timed artificial insemination using gonadotropin-releasing hormone (gnrh), prostaglandin f2a (pg), and progesterone (cidr). Journal of Animal Science 84:332-342. Interpretive Summary: Optimal pregnancy rates in beef cattle require more than compliance to a sound estrus- synchronization protocol. Estrous cyclicity is a major factor affecting fertility. Body condition, parity, and days postpartum can greatly affect the proportion of cows cycling at the initiation of an estrus-synchronization protocol. Estrus/ovulation was synchronized in 2,598 suckled beef cows from 14 locations with one of five treatments using CIDRs, GnRH, and PGF with breeding by estrus and/or timed AI (TAI) only. We have demonstrated that producers can effectively utilize two strategies to enhance the ease and efficiency of implementation of estrus-synchronization while optimizing pregnancy rates in beef production systems: 1) a strategy that reduces detection of estrus by combining estrus detection with a clean-up TAI; and 2) a fixed TAI protocol that includes a CIDR eliminates detection of estrus with all cows inseminated artificially at a single predetermined time. Both strategies are of short duration (< than 10 d) and limit the frequency that cows are handled, allowing AI to be utilized as a suitable reproductive management tool for producers. Overall, the Select Synch + CIDR & TAI seemed to most consistently yield the greatest pregnancy rates among treatments at most locations.
Technical Abstract: We determined whether a fixed-time artificial insemination (TAI) protocol could yield pregnancy rates similar to a protocol requiring detection of estrus and whether adding a CIDR to GnRH + PGF2F (PG)-based protocols would enhance fertility. Estrus in 2,598 suckled beef cows at 14 locations was synchronized and AI was preceded by one of five treatments: 1) a CIDR for 7 d with 25 mg of PG at CIDR removal, followed by detection of estrus and AI during the 84 h after PG; cows not detected in estrus by 84 h received 100 'g of GnRH and TAI at 84 h (Control; n = 506); 2) GnRH administration, followed in 7 d with PG, followed in 60 h by a second injection of GnRH and TAI (CO-Synch; n = 548); 3) CO-Synch plus a CIDR during the 7 d between the first injection of GnRH and PG (CO-Synch + CIDR; n = 539); 4) GnRH administration, followed in 7 d with PG, followed by detection of estrus and AI during the 84 h after PG; cows not detected in estrus by 84 h received GnRH and TAI at 84 h (Select Synch & TAI; n = 507); and 5) Select Synch & TAI plus a CIDR during the 7 d between the first injection of GnRH and PG (Select Synch + CIDR & TAI; n = 498). Blood samples were collected (d –17 and –7, relative to PG) to determine estrus-cycling status. Pregnancy was diagnosed by transrectal ultrasonography. Percentage of cows cycling at the initiation of treatments was 66%. Pregnancy rates among locations ranged from 37% to 67%. Pregnancy rates were greatest for the Select Synch + CIDR & TAI (58%) treatment, although not different from the CO-Synch + CIDR (54%), Select Synch & TAI (53%), or Control (53%), but greater (P < 0.05) than the CO- Synch (44%) treatment. Controls had pregnancy rates similar to those in CO-Synch + CIDR and Select Synch & TAI treatments. Overall, the Select Synch + CIDR & TAI protocol consistently achieved the greatest pregnancy rates among locations; however, CO-Synch + CIDR was a reliable TAI protocol that offers the option to eliminate detection of estrus when inseminating beef cows

Advance review of "The Reinventors"

Book Review by Dan Coughlin
The Reinventors: how extraordinary companies pursue radical continuous change
(Portfolio Hardcover 2012, 256 pages) by Jason Jennings
by Dan Coughlin
April 22, 2012
When it comes to Jason Jennings new book, The Reinventors, I would like to quote Neil Diamond: Now, Im a believer!
Ten years ago I was serving as an outside consultant for a senior-level executive team in a Fortune 200 company. The person in charge of the group talked about reinvention ad nauseam. He would say to his employees, "You need to reinvent yourself. You need to reinvent the way you do employee performance reviews, the way we serve our customers, the way we look as a business, and the way you dress to work." He would pound on his desk, and whenever employees heard the word reinvention their eyes would start to roll. He was so obsessed with reinvention that he practically reinvented his organization to death. He wanted his company to reinvent everything about itself even when it didnt make sense to do so. As a result, I developed an adverse feeling toward the word reinvention.
Then I read this magnificent book, The Reinventors, by Jason Jennings. At the foundation of this book are two tremendously important insights:
First, you should always be willing to reinvent every aspect of yourself, your team, and your organization. Nothing should be sacrosanct. You should be willing to consider for reinvention your values, your mission, your vision, your strategy, your tactics, your products and services, your approach to clients and the marketplace and every other aspect of who you are as an individual, a team, and an organization.
Second, you should never reinvent anything about yourself or your organization unless it makes sense to do so. You should never reinvent some aspect of yourself or your organization just for the sake of reinventing it.
The magic of The Reinventors is found in these two critically important concepts. The greatest companies in the world are willing to constantly reinvent themselves, but they only do so when the reinvention makes sense.
Rarely has a business book ever been more timely than this one. Due largely to the worlds dramatic increase in internet activity and the management of data, more people are connected in more ways around the world than ever before to an exponential degree. Change has always been constant, but now there is a constant rate of highly accelerated change. This means every month provides new world opportunities for every enterprise from small to large.
Consequently the ideas in The Reinventors have tremendous practical value right now. Here are some of my favorite ideas from the book:
Build a culture of change and growth. To me, a culture is how people consistently behave. Consequently, if you build an environment where people consistently look to change and grow in meaningful ways, you proactively prepare yourself to deal with changes in the marketplace. Rather than being forced to change, this type of culture is always ready to change when the changes make sense.
One of my favorite stories in the book is in the introduction. Jennings talks about going back to his hometown where he grew up. He finds almost of the businesses he once admired have shut down. In asking long-time residents what had happened, he found the common denominator of failure was an unwillingness to change as the market changed. This is a story so many of us can relate to and makes a powerful point: we can never assume that what worked in the past will work in the future.
Another great example of this in the book is the story of Anderson-McQueen Funeral Home on pages 60-67. Its a great story of how a very traditional business reinvented itself in a declining market and dramatically increased its sustainable, profitable growth.
Kiss a lot of frogs. This is the title of Chapter Four and it makes so many good points about the importance of trying a lot of small ideas to see which ones work and which ones dont. In this chapter, Jennings uses the famous example of the reinvention of Starbucks to highlight the importance of testing lots and lots of small ideas in order to find the necessary insights to reignite a big brand name. Jennings wrote on page 90, "A culture of small bets is a learning culture in which people discover the right paths to new destinations." I think that idea applies to every type of organization.
Who stays, who leads, who goes. This is the title of Chapter Five and it explores the importance of having the right people in place in order to effectively reinvent an organization on a consistent basis.
Forever frugal. On page 153, Jennings wrote, "The lesson is clear: Having too much money or too many resources can actually get in the way of successful reinvention." His point is a powerful one. Its not that having money stashed away is a bad thing. The problem occurs when people think they can throw money at a problem in order to make it go away. That kind of undisciplined approach is what creates even bigger problems. Regardless of your resources, the key is to approach reinvention with a very tight handle on your spending. Invest in small ways, but learn from every action you take.
Ask WTGBRFSTM: Whats the Good Business Reason for Spending This Money? This is my favorite question in the book. It is one of the reasons why Jennings has convinced me to be a believer in reinvention. It gets to the very heart of never reinventing just for the sake of reinventing. I encourage you to ask yourself this question every time you are considering to reinvent yourself or your organization.
I encourage you to study The Reinventors very closely. This is a book for the ages, but particularly for this age.
Interview with Jason Jennings
DAN COUGHLIN: Youve taken on one of the really big business topics in The Reinventors. How do you define reinvention? Does that definition differ when youre talking about an organization reinventing itself as opposed to an individual person or a group of people reinventing themselves?
JASON JENNINGS: Reinvention isnt about a last ditch effort to go from Point A to point B because your business was on the edge of the cliff waiting to fall over. Reinvention is about embracing constant radical change in order to stay in front of the constantly changing needs of your workforce, customers and investors.
COUGHLIN: You talk about the need for an organization to constantly reinvent itself. How often do you think an organization should step back and think about how it can reinvent itself?
JENNINGS: Reinvention isnt a conscious act where you step back and ponder remaining relevant. Yoda said, "In the motion is the future," and I agree. Its continuously challenging yourself and the organization to stay ahead of your customers. But because customers frequently dont know what their next need or want will be, the job of the reinventor to is constantly put totally new and unexpected products and services in front of the customer and have the ability to quickly scale those that work.
COUGHLIN: Is there a point where organizations can fall into a bad habit of reinventing themselves so often that they dilute their brand in the marketplace?
JENNINGS: First, lets define the word brand. A brand makes a promise, is aspirational, consistent and relevant. Apple is constantly reinventing their products and rather than diminishing the brand it only serves to make it better and more valuable.
COUGHLIN: Is there a framework that you feel executives should keep in mind when they are considering to reinvent their organizations?
JENNINGS: Reinventing has nothing to do with reorganization. There are a firm set of guiding principles that must be adhered to in order to become a successful reinventor. If these principles are followed, the reorganization of any organization becomes obvious. Here are a few of the guiding principles.
When you make these things the guiding principles of the organization, the structure of the company becomes obvious; its a moot point.
COUGHLIN: Are there parts of an organization that should not be reinvented or is everything up for consideration?
JENNINGS: Everyone in a company committed to constant radical change and reinvention should be taught how what they do creates economic value; thats how people start to think and act like the owner. Any job that doesnt create economic value should be eliminated; theres no need for it.
The question that should be asked constantly is, "How can we make this better for the workers, the customers, the suppliers and the shareholders?" Yes, everything is fair game. Remember, there mustnt be any turtles on poles and if you see one, someone put them there. They didnt get there by themselves.
COUGHLIN: Ive often felt that your writing style reminds me of Peter Drucker in that you both use a wide range of stories to make your points. Did Peter Drucker have an effect on you earlier in your career, and if so, what was that effect?
JENNINGS: Ive read all the Drucker books and yes, he was a big influence on me. One of the most noteworthy observations he made is that while not for profits can learn much from for profit businesses, the for profit companies could learn much from the not for profits and cited examples like the Boy Scouts and the Salvation Army and wondering why people will work so hard and so long for little personal reward. The answer of course is that the not for profits have a big noble purpose or cause and he challenged for profit companies to do the same.
COUGHLIN: You bring a richness of detail in describing the executives in your books that humanizes the points you are making for the reader. Once youve carefully narrowed down the organizations that you want to study, what is the process you use in learning about the individuals you are going to interview and the way you go about crafting and conducting the interview?
JENNINGS: Once weve spent eighteen months screening tens of thousands of companies for a specific topic area like speed, productivity, growth or reinvention we gain access and go inside and generate hundreds of thousands of pages of interview transcripts. I only ask three questions of anyone; what do you do here and what are you responsible for, tell me your story and tell me the story of the company through your eyes. Those three questions (with a little prompting and a few ah-has) can keep anyone talking for hours. Most people are so busy trying to be interesting that they forget to be interested. When I sit down with someone I want to know about them, their story, their view of life, their take on things. I figure theyre a lot more fascinating than I am. Its compassionate listening and theres too little of it.
COUGHLIN: What was your single biggest surprise or major learning as you researched and wrote The Reinventors?
JENNINGS: I thought reinvention was about moving a company from Point A to Point B. That, of course, is hogwash. Reinvention is about embracing constant radical change with a passion in order to improve the fortunes of all the stakeholders.
COUGHLIN: You have studied organizations from a wide range of perspectives over the past twelve years as youve written your five books. As you think about your research into such a diverse group of industries, what do you believe now is the level of importance for executives to be willing to reinvent themselves and their organizations in terms of generating sustainable, profitable growth for their organizations?
JENNINGS: No organization or business model is sustainable without embracing constant radical change; period! Of the original Fortune 500 fewer than five remain. Any business that falls into a rut will die and the only difference between a rut and a grave are the dimensions.
COUGHLIN: As you look back on your own career, what role has reinvention played for you?
JENNINGS: At age thirteen I started my career as a disc jockey on my hometown radio station playing Top 40 rock and roll. One Saturday afternoon, when the boss was out of town, I got bored playing records and turned it into a talk show. I guess that was my first reinvention and it almost got me fired.
From disc jockey to being a radio talk show host led to being a TV newscaster and to becoming the radio stations general manager while attending college. That all led to running a large group of radio stations and then owning my own group. That led to the creation of a large consulting company and eventually to researching and writing books and teaching and speaking.
The common themes have been creating content and communication. At risk of appearing immodest Id give myself an A at reinvention and cant wait to see how content will be created and delivered in the years ahead.

Rusty crayfish: A tasty treat and business opportunity
It was a discovery. There is heavy competition from a domestic invasive species in our area streams. Two local entrepreneurs are hoping to help solve the problem. Both avid outdoorsmen, Joshua Alters and Mason Golden, have started M&J Crayfish. Alters, a family friend of Mason's parents, has watched the young man grow up and gain a love of nature and the outdoors.
"He is my business partner," said Alters, who hopes the business will grow and perhaps provide Mason with a start on college money along with an outdoor job during summer breaks.
The heart of their business is trapping rusty crayfish, a domestic invasive species in area streams.
"This spring we had been fishing for a couple months, when we noticed there was an insane amount of crayfish that had developed from the last year," said Alters. "You couldn't step without kicking up 20 of them." In May they started to trap the crustaceans.
Since then they have learned a lot, fine tuning their technique and method. Working with a thorough knowledge of the species and having acquired all of the necessary permits, they are now seeking markets for the critter that is considered delicacy in many areas of the world, including Louisiana.
Their native habitat is Indiana, Ohio and parts of Kentucky. Rusty crayfish are one of 350 crayfish species which are native to North America. Unfortunately, Wisconsin is the most heavily infested of the upper Midwest states with over 450 lakes and streams affected. It is thought that they were introduced, accidently in the 1960s while being used as bait.
Since then, they have taken a foothold, displacing the native crayfish, eating aquatic plants, as well as snails, leeches, aquatic worms, insects, small fish and fish eggs. They are also, heavy consumers of oxygen.
"It is almost impossible to control the population," said Alters, who is believes anything they do to help reduce the area population will help. "All of our crayfish are harvested locally from area freshwater streams not the St. Croix River. If we find a native species in our traps we return them to the water."
On Friday, when they collected their traps, there was not one native crayfish in the nearly 15 pounds.
Some of you might remember dissecting a crayfish in biology class, others may recall the delightfully subtle flavors of crawfish etouffee or the fun of a crawfish boil for friends and family.
"Being that rusty crayfish are an invasive species, Joshua is actually making a positive out of a negative," said Paul Sickman, Conservation Warden. "There is definitely a potential for marketing them. Like any exotic invasive species, once they get in their population tends to explode."
Alters and Golden see two potential markets for their product, securing a contract with a Great Lakes Bait Shop. It is legal to use frozen crayfish tails for bait in the Lake Michigan.
"A contract with one bait shop would make this work," said Alters. "We could sell them a hundred frozen pounds at a time."
The second market is your dinner table, which is why M&J Crayfish is coming to you, Aug. 4 at the Hudson Farmers Market on Carmichael. They can only sell you the live product, but they are a wealth of information as the how to prepare them and will offer recipes as well.
"A crayfish boil is not like going to McDonalds," said Alters. "It is more of a social event." It is pretty simple, you cover your picnic table with paper and pour out the contents after they are boiled and drained. This would include not only the crayfish, but corn, potatoes, green beans and onions, then your guests "dig in." So whether you want a unique summer time experience or you want the freshest ingredients for a gourmet recipe, M&J Crayfish is ready to help.
"It is really more of an environmental move to basically help trout and smallmouth bass," said Alters of their enterprise.
"Since I was five I have been fishing and hunting," said Alters, who was born and raised in Wausau. "I'm the standard outdoor kid. Any excuse to get outside is great for me." After graduating from UW-Stout, Alters, who worked for the River Falls Police Department for seven years, took a job with Boston Scientific in the Twin Cities. He lives in North Hudson with his wife and children. Mason Golden is the son of Chuck and Mary Golden he will be attend Hudson High School this fall.
Since May, the duo has honed their method of trapping so they only set traps when they have an order or request for enough crayfish for a boil.
If you want to order crayfish from M&J Crayfish you may call (715) 441-1827.
"I recommend they call three days in advance," said Alters, including if you want to pick them up at the farmers market.
Beginning Saturday, Aug. 4, they will have a booth at the Hudson Farmers Market on Carmichael from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. located at Faith Community Church.
In the meantime, Sickman wants to remind everyone to be mindful of unknowingly transporting invasive species.
"Zebra mussels showed up in Bass Lake, two years ago," said Sickman.
Crawfish Etouffee
1 stick butter
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green bell peppers
1 pound peeled crawfish tails
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup water
Pinch of cayenne
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons chopped green onions
Directions: In a large sauté pan over medium high heat, melt the butter. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers and sauté until the vegetables are wilted, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the crawfish, garlic, and bay leaves and reduce the heat to medium. Cook the crawfish for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Dissolve the flour in the water. Add the crawfish mixture. Season with salt and cayenne. Stir until the mixture thickens, about 4 minutes. Stir in the parsley and green onions and continue cooking for 2 minutes. Serve over steamed rice.

Milk Prices Could Hit $6 A Gallon Without Farm Bill Resolution
MILWAUKEE -- As the nation inches toward the economic "fiscal cliff," anxiety is growing in farm country about an obscure tangent of the Washington political standoff that reaches into the dairy industry and, indirectly, into the household budgets of consumers who buy milk and cheese.
Little noticed in the struggle over major looming tax increases and spending cuts is that the outcome could also affect the farm bill, on which Congress didn't complete action this year after it expired in September. Agriculture industry leaders hope the farm legislation can be added to any final fiscal package before the end of the year. But if no fiscal agreement is reached, and the farm legislation is left adrift, farmers could face the prospect of returning to an antiquated system for pricing milk that would bring big price increases for consumers.
"It's going to come down to whether leadership tells them in enough time to get (the farm legislation) into a bill," said Chandler Goule, lobbyist for the National Farmers Union, referring to the agriculture leaders' wait on the fiscal cliff negotiations.
The problem is serious enough that industry officials are considering fallback options. The likeliest would have Congress passing an extension of current farm law, which would provide a temporary fix.
But farmers still shudder at the thought of any prospect, even remote, of reverting to an old system under which milk could surge to $6 a gallon.
The Agricultural Act of 1949 contains the basic provisions for setting milk prices. The act is superseded every time a new farm bill is passed, but if no new bill or extension is passed the old act goes back into effect.
That law includes a mechanism for guaranteeing a minimum milk price that covers producers' costs. The government guarantees to buy their milk products at that price, but producers can usually do better selling on the consumer market. But if the old mechanism were applied to current market conditions, the government price could be double the current rate, industry officials say. Farmers would sell their dairy products to the government instead of the private market and store prices would surge. Then prices might collapse as the government eventually sold its dairy stockpiles.

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- The second phase of the Enlisted Retention Board (ERB) adjourned and forwarded its recommendations to Navy Personnel Command (NPC), officials said Oct. 27.
ERB Phase II results will be released after the Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS) reconciles the results and processes eligible conversion packages, according to Lt. Cmdr. Delmy Robinson, ERB communications project officer at NPC.
As announced in NAVADMIN 180/11, conversion applications were held until the board completed deliberations. Only those Sailors not selected for retention in-rate by the ERB will be considered for conversion into selected undermanned ratings for which they qualify. Conversion waivers will be granted based on the needs of the Navy. This process can take several weeks.
Once BUPERS reviews the recommendations for conversion opportunities, board results will be forwarded to the Chief of Naval Personnel for approval.
A conversion package is a second opportunity for ERB-affected Sailors to stay Navy, and BUPERS officials must carefully review all eligible conversion packages, according to Robinson. NPC received more than 2,000 conversion requests from ERB-eligible Sailors.
The Phase II ERB reviewed the records of ERB-eligible E-6 through E-8 Sailors from 31 overmanned ratings.
The board was charged with reviewing each candidate's official military personnel file and any correspondence submitted by the member to identify the best-qualified Sailors to receive the finite number of retention quotas available.
Once the board results are approved, NPC will notify commanding officers so they may personally contact and provide counseling to each Sailor not being retained.
Sailors not selected for retention will have access to the Navy's transition assistance management program and other benefits for members who are involuntary separated. The Enlisted Retention Board was designed to balance the force by retaining Sailors in the right mix of ratings and paygrades, as well as experience and skills.

At StateoftheMarkets.com, we strive to "own the best and ignore the rest" in our equity portfolios. Toward this end, each day we search our database for a "top stock" (a top rated company in terms of earnings strength as well as company and industry performance) that presents a strong technical "set up" and a good entry point.
In short, when our equity team is looking to add a stock to one of our portfolios, the "bull's eye" stock shown below is generally their first choice.
Why We Like The Stock:
Dean Foods (DF) is our most compelling buy today due to the fact that it is a top rated stock (in terms of earnings strength and company/industry performance) with a positive technical set-up.

DF recently traded north of $10.50 at the end of May, and has crossed above its 5-day moving average this morning. The stock has a nice intermediate-term uptrend and has traded above the 50-day moving average since early April. With some support slightly above the 50-day, we like DF at current prices for a run back to the $10.50 area.
We Would Be Buyers:
At the current price (~$10.03).
Company Profile:
Dean Foods Company is a food and beverage company. The company operates through two segments: Fresh Dairy Direct and The WhiteWave Foods Company. Fresh Dairy Direct is a processor and distributor of fluid milk in the United States, and Fresh Dairy Direct also processes and distributes other dairy products in the United States, with products such as milk, ice cream, cultured dairy products, creamers, ice cream mix and other dairy products sold under more than 50 familiar local and regional brands and a wide array of private labels.

We are stopping in Yorktown, VA, on a cruise and trying to figure out where the ship will dock (downtown?) and how far it is to Williamsburg. Anyone have any idea? Thought it might be easier to get an answer on this board rather than the cruise board. Thanks.

Williamsburg/Yorktown cruise port?
Report Abuse
I'm in Yorktown every day and I didn't even know that cruise ships stopped there. That's my new tidbit of info for the day. It looks like they stop right at the waterfront. It's really the only place they could because I don't think the navy will let them stop at the Naval Weapons station.
Yorktown is a cute, tiny town with a few restaurants and shops on the waterfront. A couple of blocks away are the older buildings in the National Park area of Yorktown. Behind that stretches the battlefields. Further along the waterfront is the Yorktown Victory Center. Two places I would recommend in Yorktown are Carrot Tree for lunch and the Nancy Thomas Gallery for shopping. Both are off the waterfront so you need to specifically go looking for them.
Nancy Thomas is great at art but lousy at web site design. Neither of her sites tell you where the gallery is so I guess you'll just have to ask in town.
Williamsburg is 15 minutes from Yorktown. It appears that you can take a shore excursion to hit some of the highlights. You may be able to just take shuttles on your own but you won't be able to see everything.
This is a link to the Colonial Williamsburg website with a description of the Jamestown and Yorktown sites.
You can take a shuttle from CW to J&Y but I'm not sure whether you can originate in Yorktown. You might have to call and ask.
Let me know what you're interested in and maybe we can narrow it down.
Report Abuse
Birdie is correct. We saw a cruise ship in Yorktown last year when we were there. DH was stationed at the Naval Weapons station half a century ago and was surprised at the changes in Yorktown.
I would imagine the cruise line would arrange for land excursions to Williamsburg and/or Jamestown. Both are worth seeing. If not it is not too bad a walk up to the park service VC there in Yorktown and there is a house near the waterfront that still has cannon balls stuck in it.
Report Abuse
The drive from YT to JT and Wmbg up the Colonial Parkway is very very pretty.
Report Abuse
Finally, thanks goodness, some pertinent information regarding where the cruise ship docks in Yorktown. I have checked the Yorktown waterfront website and nothing looked big enough to take a cruise ship? I have been searching for days and must have googled the area a hundred times. Thank you Charli for asking the right question on the right website. And, thank you emalloy for confirming. I must now find out if there are buses or taxi's from the Yorktown dock to Colonial Williamsburg. The cruise line does have excursion but they are limited in time and rather expensive.
Report Abuse
Thank you all for your replies. I know what you mean, OldeBrit, I searched for a long time as well. This is the best info from you kind folks. I know that the ship has excursions, but I rather wanted to do probably way too much. I will have to just accept a "taste" and go back for a vacation. In case anyone wants to check out the ship and exactly where it docks, it will be in port Sat., Apr 16, from 7AM to 5PM, and is Oceania's REGATTA.
Report Abuse
The National Park Service had a bus that made the "historic triangle" Yktn, Wmsbg, Jamestown circle throughout the day. Not sure if it still operates but it left the Yorktown visitors center on the battlefield which is up the hill from the riverfront dock. Hope it still operates for you it would be perfect. Enjoy the area. I grew up there but moved away many years ago.
Report Abuse
We had visitors to the area use that shuttle last year. As noted pick up in Yorktown was at the battlefield and also at the Yorktown Victory Center. It apparently runs on the half hour so it ought to be able to accommodate your visit.
There is more information here: http://www.nps.gov/colo/planyourvisit/publictransportation.htm
Thanks, bushwacker, I'd completely forgotten about the park service shuttle until you brought it up.
April 16th is the start of Virginia Garden Week, so fingers crossed, things will be lovely when you arrive.
Report Abuse
Charli: We are on the same cruise. I found the link below on the Cruise Critic Roll Call forum. Come and join us. I also found out that the ship will dock by the River Walk landing in Yorktown.
Hopefully, we will be able to do the whole "triangle" in the one day.
Thank you all for being so helpful.
Report Abuse
How fabulous! Maybe we can get a taste of all 3 in one day.
Hope to see you on the ship OldeBrit - is that your pen name on CC? I am Capecodder2. Should be a really interesting cruise, such a different itinerary from the norm. This will be our 7th O cruise. See you there..........
Report Abuse
Hi, we are also on the cruise and would be interested in maybe taking a shuttle/taxi instead of the excursions that the cruise line provides (as OldeBrit says, they are very expensive).
Thanks for providing all of the information here, its hard to find anywhere else! If you have any places to visit/recommend please say and we hope to see you all soon.
Report Abuse
When does your cruise come through Yorktown? Because I believe the shuttles don't start running until the middle of April. Also there is a trolley that runs within Yorktown during the same times that is free also. It's an easy walk (uphill) from where the ships dock to the battlefields where you can catch the shuttle. The battlefields are interesting to see, but difficult without the use of a car since they stretch quite a ways. There is also a shop in Yorktown that rents bikes if you're interested in biking them, it's quite beautiful and we bike them on many of the nice weekends. The drive along the Colonial Parkway is also scenic, which is the route that the shuttle takes. Have a fabulous time in our area!
Report Abuse
Hello MandPNorman. I haven't been on this forum for weeks but I'm always checking on our Roll Call on the Cruise Critic forums. Come and join us. I think most of Ports where the ship will dock you can simply "walk off" and into town, except for the islands in the Caribbean of course.
SlipperyHippo: The ship docks in Yorktown on Sat 16th April and I think the shuttle starts the day prior? We are indeed looking forward to seeing Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown.
Report Abuse
It seems that there are a number of us on the Regatta docking at Yorktown on April 26th. I wonder if there's anyway we could congregate on the ship and share what we have found out via this web site.I'm looking at the ship's plan and perhaps meet at the Reception Desk (wherever that is!) after breakfast on the 15th, maybe at 10:00. Just see who shows up?? The shuttle actually starts on the 15th. That's pretty lucky. I have asked how we obtain the shuttle pass.
Report Abuse
Just realized I typed the 26th of April instead of the 16th. A big mistake. The 16th is the correct date!!

Her representative has denied report saying she is adopting a baby from Mexico and hiring a nanny.
Jennifer Aniston's publicist has shot down tabloid reports suggesting the actress has adopted a child. The former "Friends" star has been candid about her hopes of becoming a mum one day in recent interviews, but her aide insists the new stories about her adopting a kid from a Mexican orphanage she visits are false.
The rep tells People.com, "Jennifer is not adopting a baby from Mexico, nor does she have a nursery in her home and she has not hired a nanny. It is all a work of fiction."
Aniston denied the same rumors back in 2009 after she was spotted visiting the Casa Hogar Sion orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico.

But i'm ready to get back to a more regular blogging schedule, and nothing gets the creative juices flowing like the prospects of another BibleTech conference! The first BibleTech (this past January) was one of the highlights of my year: here's a list of 2008 speakers, including two presentations by me (you can find links to the slides here, and there's an MP3 for the Zoomable Bible talk here, though be warned that it's 150Mb and non-streaming). So i'm really looking forward to the next one, March 28-29 in Seattle.
The call for presentations has gone out, and so i face the dilemma of choosing among lots of different ideas and topics, and deciding what to propose. So many smart people attended the last conference that i'd love to just sit around and talk tech for several days straight, but i probably have to focus on just one or two topics.
So here's your chance to give me some feedback (and for me to learn whether anybody's still listening!). I'm planning to blog about some of my presentation ideas in subsequent posts, and i'd love to hear your comments about them. Does the topic make sense? Would you want to hear about it? Is it compelling, relevant, important, "cool"? Is it too obscure, too far out there, too geeky? What can i improve from last year (if you attended one of my talks)? It would really help me to have some feedback on these questions, especially from those who attended last year and therefore have a good feel for what the conference is all about (but i'll take any comments i can get).
If you're on Facebook, please join the BibleTech group.
Maybe you should be presenting at BibleTech 2009 too! The call for participation is open until Nov 3, and describes what we're looking for, so get those abstracts in. And if i happen to mention a topic that you're interested in presenting on, let me know and then go for it! There's no shortage of things i'd like to talk about …

Can Women Get Jock Itch?
Although the term jock itch is primarily associated with athletic adolescent boys and men, anyone can get this skin infection including women. Jock itch is a colloquial term for tinea cruris, which is ringworm of the groin. It is a rash caused by a fungus that thrives in warm, damp places. The rash may appear red and raised, itch, and include pimples or pustules that ooze. It usually appears in the folds of the skin, but may spread to the upper or inner thighs, the buttocks, the anal area, underneath the breasts, and even the armpits.
Women can get jock itch in a couple of ways. The rash may develop if the vaginal area remains moist for long periods of time, such as after sweating or taking a shower. Female athletes are at a higher risk of getting tinea cruris than women who don't participate in sports or exercise. It is also caused by wearing tight underwear made from synthetic fabrics that trap moisture and rub against the area and not changing underwear frequently enough. Contact with an infected person or object is another common way women get jock itch.
Can My Husband Catch Jock Itch?
The short answer is yes. Jock itch mostly affects men, so it is more likely he will get the skin infection first and pass it onto you. However, you can also pass the infection to him. The most common way this occurs is through sexual activity, but the infection can also be passed by sharing towels or wearing unwashed clothing worn by the infected person. Sometimes, but not always, jock itch can be spread through bedding, so sleeping in the same bed as the person with ringworm increases the risk of passing or receiving the infection.
Risk Factors for Jock Itch
Tinea cruris thrives in warm damp areas of the body. You are more likely to develop this skin infection if you have the following risk factors:
- Groin area is damp for long periods of time, such as after showering
- Taking broad-spectrum antibiotics
- Diabetes
- Weak immune system
- Wearing tight clothing that reduces ventilation or causes friction in the area
- Contact with the spores via infected persons or objects
- Fungal infection on other parts of the body such as athlete's foot (tinea pedis)
- Poor hygiene
- Poor overall health
Diagnosing Jock Itch
Jock itch mimics the symptoms of other vaginal skin problems such as a yeast infection or seborrheic dermatitis. It is important that the condition is properly diagnosed to prevent complications arising from using the wrong type of medication to treat it. Typically your doctor or gynecologist will be able to diagnose jock itch by visually inspecting the rash. To confirm the diagnosis, he or she may take a scraping of the rash and look at it under a microscope or send it to a laboratory for additional testing.
Treating Jock Itch in Women
Sometimes jock itch in women will go away without any medical intervention, particularly if you are in good health. The vagina contains a lot of bacterial flora that work to fight off harmful infections. For jock itch that persists, you can use a topical antifungal cream, lotion, or powder. It usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks for the infection to clear completely, so you should use the medication for the entire recommended time even if the rash goes away after a few days.
Severe cases of jock itch may require antibiotics, particularly if your immune system is compromised. Be aware, though, that prescription drugs can cause side effects. There are a number of natural remedies you can use to get rid of jock itch without the normal side effects caused by medication.
Preventing Jock Itch
Good vaginal hygiene will prevent most cases of jock itch from occurring. Keeping the groin area dry and clean prevents it from becoming a breeding ground for the fungus that causes tine cruris. Shower immediately after exercising or participating in sports and thoroughly dry the groin area. Wear loose clothing that wicks away sweat and allows for good ventilation. Do not share clothing, towels, or other personal items and always clean exercise equipment before using it.
People who have jock itch also tend to have athlete's foot (tinea pedis), and untreated athlete's foot is often the cause of reoccurring jock itch. If you are diagnosed with jock itch and athlete's foot, it is important to treat both. To avoid getting athlete's foot, always wear sandals when using public showers and swimming pools.
Inform your sexual partner that you have jock itch as soon as you are diagnosed to prevent spreading the fungus to him or her. Wash all bedding and towels in hot water using an antifungal cleaner like bleach to prevent the fungus from causing reoccurring cases of jock itch.
Facts About Jock Itch
The fungus that causes jock itch lives on the dead skin cells found on the surface of the body. These skin cells can flake off onto objects, and the fungus contained in those cells will continue to be active. If your immune system is healthy, you will not get jock itch through casual contact, such as from a toilet seat. Prolonged skin to skin contact, such as sexual activity, or wearing clothing worn by an infected person can transmit the fungus between humans.
Jock itch is just one variation of this skin infection. Tinea can occur on any part of the body including the head, hands, feet, and face. You are more likely to get jock itch if you already have the infection on another part of your body. It is important to treat all instances of the infection all at once; otherwise you risk a continuous reoccurrence of the problem.

Unleashing Human Potential:
Global Citizens in Pursuit of the Common Good
February 11-12, 2011
On behalf of the Ford Program, thank you to all who attended the third annual Human Development Conference, "Unleashing Human Potential: Global Citizens in Pursuit of the Common Good". It was a successful two-day conference, with more than 250 students and faculty in attendance from across the United States and abroad. Papers were featured from 73 students on research conducted in over 30 countries, and panels addressed topics ranging from agriculture, global health, and the environment to gender equality, human rights, and education. The weekend began with a message of hope, solidarity, and passion for research in human development during the opening remarks made by Steve Reifenberg, Executive Director of the Kellogg Institute, and ended with a keynote speech from microfinance specialist, David Roodman of the Center for Global Development.
The Ford Program would also like to thank the visiting delegation of faculty and students from Uganda Martyrs University, Ford's key partner in on-site development work in Uganda, who attended the event and participated as panel moderators and presenters.
Please stay tuned for next year's conference! The call for papers will go out in Fall 2011.

In a post on his blog, Johnny Knoxville reveals he regrets not checking his luggage before going to LAX on Thursday, January 15 that led to his arrest.
Actor Johnny Knoxville took to his blog Thursday, January 15 to set the record straight on his brief arrest at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for bringing a fake grenade. He insisted in the post, titled "johnny knoxville's rotten luck," that his arrest was just a misunderstanding.
"A few days ago, I was filming some commercials for this show we are doing for MTV called Nitro Circus, so I took a bunch of silly props in my carry-on bag to the shoot. Well, when the shoot was over, the wardrobe girl packed my luggage so I could go home and, unbeknownst to me, she packed a FAKE hand grenade (a prop grenade that I'd taken to the shoot) in the front zipper of my luggage," he explained. "Needless to say, when I was packing to go out of town this morning with my girlfriend and daughter, I didn't see the FAKE grenade in my luggage."
"Ah f*** was I bummed when I realized what had happened� The cops did their job and verified that it wasn't real. Also, they were cool as they could be to me, considering the situation, and it is no ones fault but my own," the movie star continued writing. "I should have checked my goddamn luggage through and through, but I didn't and now we have this incident. From what I hear, all the tabloids are saying it was a real grenade, but that's bullshit. They just said that to make a story out of it, because if it was real I never would have been allowed to board my flight to Miami an hour later. Anyway, it was a mistake, and I just landed at the Miami airport. Damn."
On Thursday morning before Johnny Knoxville posted the message on his blog, he was briefly detained at LAX when security screeners noticed there was a grenade inside his luggage. However, after a careful investigation, bomb squad determined the grenade "lacked a firing pin or explosive," and so the star was released and allowed to board an American Airlines flight for Miami.

Mix approximately one cup of corn starch with approximately one-half cup of water. Do this in a bowl, simply using your hands to slowly mix it all up. As you mix, the mixture will feel kind of gooey or pasty. Grab a small handful of the goop, and roll it between hour hands... it acts like clay or putty. Let the blob sit in your palm, and it runs like a liquid. Squeeze it and it acts like a solid again.
Cornstarch molecules are relative long and large. When you slowly stir them, or just let them be, they are able to slip past each other, and flow like a liquid. If you press on them (such as when you roll the mixture between your hands), you are trying to move the molecules past each other more quickly than they normally can go. They get "tangled up" in each other, essentially, so they don't flow. In other words, they act more like a solid.

After checking the trailer on that website, I'd like to say: "sounds like a load of dung."
It's also rather poorly made. Call again when they've gotten some award at Cannes Film Festival (AND NOT JUST SHOW IT ON A BEACH NEAR CANNES DURING THE FESTIVAL, bloody cheaters) or whatever. Incidentally, around here we're already required to carry an ID at all times (which I admit is riduculous) - just like nazi Germany!!-, though the police can't actually ask you for it unless they have a good reason. In which case you can ask them the same thing, so if you think it wasn't a good reason, you can complain about them. I don't like it much personally, but hey, what can you do. As for the microchip implants; I really doubt it.
Wiki claims a neutral point of view; may be helpful:
As for America being on its way to totalitarianism; quite possibly. But this film rather hurts its own cause than promote it.
Anyway, here in Europe we'll just continue to watch (fearfuly, but amused) how someone will kill the dictator (Bush, presumably) only to see -after some civil war perhaps- an emperor arise, and then we'll just wait until we get insane ones and hope one of them doesn't throw nukes in our direction because he wants a new swimming pool. Hey, that's what happened to the Roman Empire after all. In the meantime,
please stop abducting european citizens
and torturing them without a trial or, for that matter, charges.

You have no idea how huge the Al-Masri issue is over here.
(btw, I read today that German courts did indeed file 13 warrants of arrest against CIA agents. Now it depends on the US government to hand them over... fat chance... at least they wouldn't be tortured in prison)
That aside, I watched some of those trailers, and I agree with Berry for the most part, except I'd tone down the ridiculing a little, and I have to say that I myself am worried about RFID technology.
I know that on every electronical product I buy there's this plastic marker on it that allows them to know where I take the shit I buy, which stinks and those things should be banned sooner than later.
Anyway, as Berry said, it's likely these guys are hurting their cause. They're just feeding the american paranoia. Instead of going about this issue soberly in a newspaper article or an essay they make it into an overly flashy movie. "Look there!" - "What is it?" - "Our credibility." - "Oh... I wish it had stayed"
It's funny how amazingly unfocused this movie is (or appears to be from it's trailers). First it starts out on Tax abuse by the US gov., then it goes on to say America is controlled by Banks, then it developes the theory that the Iraq war is because of the banks, that also want to implant RFID chips into you. Wait.. what?
Way to ruin your credibility.
And, oh yeah, soon you'll need an ID card to fly on a plane.
that is the most ridiculous thing. After the US gov. started the whole airport craze, with tripple checks and fingerprints and keeping your personal data for what, 40 years?? They basically don't let anyone with a beard and bushy eyebrows into the country, but having to show an ID is the big deal now?
OK, I'm losing focus too.
It just goes to show that scandalous films sell too well in America and they should get their priorities straightened out. People over there should start to vote in their own elections before they start throwing bottles at the people they didn't elect (clever).
To all Americans I have offended: I'm sorry if I have offended you. I know you're proud and patriotic, and that you yourself probably do vote (those 54% must be hiding somewhere) and that you're not running to buy gas masks whenever someone comes up with a ghost story. Or tells you aliens landed on earth. I have some good friends in the States.
Oh yeah:
You should stop killing people for killing people.

The American government being an evil Big Brother, it wouldn't surprise me, but the videos are a little unprofessional in my opinion and lack credibility, so no serious conclusions can be inferred from them.
This also brings up an issue that is much discussed around here" the united states being the haven of freedom", I must say (and most people share my view on this) it's really not, it was already full of ridiculous restrictive laws before all the 9/11 craze, now in order to even get in, you have to bear being treaten like a criminal, I'd rather stay off the states right now, eww... (also, this is a Mexican talking, yes, but I am not even touching the issue of illegal immigration here, which IS a crime and must be dealt with as such.)
Now, as opposed as I am to things like the war on Iraq, I am glad some of the americans' taxes are being spent on things like nasa's programs, I like seeing shots of mars and whatnot.
So americans, keep off tax evasion and get more involved with your politicz plz kthxbyhveagudday.

Fascism - a political system characterized by a two-tiered society with first tier citizens being treated normally, erhaps even better then people in surrounding countries, and second tier citizens being oppressed and pushed down based on superficial distinguishing factors. Fascist states are characterized by highly chauvinistic governments and imperialist foreign policies.
If you want a good example of a fascist country you might want to look at Latvia, Estonia or Lithuania...... United States comes pretty close on the racial point, but falls just short.

Is it just me or, according to Fænor's definition, affirmative action points towards fascism? (Trying to turn second-tier citizens instantly into tier 1 citizens without creating a proper environment for it, and actually only succeeding at switching tier one and tier two citizens at certain times and places)

In an unofficial way yes..... but I mean for fascism it needs to be really distinct. For example in Latvia if you're russian, even if you've lived there your entire life and were born there you are considered a "non-citizen", can't vote, and do not have right to a fair trial. Or like Nazi Germany where Jews were second-tier citizens. Keep in mind also for fascism you need a chauvinistic government (chauvinism in this case= extreme nationalism), and a more or less imperialist foreign policy.
The U.S. kinda has 2-tiers (blacks and mexicans) definetly has imperialist foreign policy but lacks a chauvinist government.

I agree with most of that, however blacks and mexicans are not really second tier citizens, getho blacks possibly are and illegal mexicans are not even citizens, but, if they earn enough money to become richer than the average american, they stop being tier 2 citizens... So it's not so much about race, it's more that getho african-americans and illegal latins tend to lack teh money$ to be taken seriously.

That's why america comes close but isn't quite fascist. It has an imperialist foreign policy, and a fairly chauvinistic government.... well actually that's another small mismatch. But yeah. As soon as segregation comes back and a redneck is in office it'll be there

County Council candidates speak in Seneca
Practically all seats were taken in a Gignilliat Community Center meeting room last night for a candidates' forum arranged by the Oconee Republican Party. The participants were the three men and one woman bidding for seats this year on County Council—along with Probate Judge Kenny Johns who seeks a second term with no ballot opposition. At the start, GOP Chairman Bob Skipp reminded the crowd that the event was a forum, not a debate. The forum proceeded orderly with the audience, at times, giving light applause to a particular candidate for a set of particular comments. One audience member, in light of last week's Supreme Court ruling, wanted to know if the county council candidates, if they were in office, would be willing to make a motion to return religious prayer to the start of council meetings. Three of the four said they would be so willing or at least indicated their support for prayer. Only District One incumbent Paul Corbeil said he would not. The forum delved into other issues as well—such as the 1-cent sales tax referendum, zoning, and economic development. And 96.3/WGOG NEWS throughout the day is presenting excerpts of the candidates' remarks.
