Clayton Hendon, son of Griffin and Missie Hendon, grew up in nearby Dallas, graduated from Lake Highlands High School, went to the US Military Academy at West Point graduating there in 2007 as a classmate of local warrior Mario Barrett, son of Keith and Joanne Barrett of Rockwall, and ended up in Iraq as a Tank Platoon Leader exactly one year after finishing his formal education.
As he said, "I was an individual replacement and had never met my platoon until Iraq. When I arrived in-country the Battalion Commander said, 'Do you want a job or not?' Well there was only one answer to that question and even though I am an Infantry officer, I answered, 'YES' and quickly became an Armor officer.. I was assigned 15 Armor Soldiers and 5 Infantrymen, along with 4 Main Battle Tanks."
And then the age-old instruction method of training a new Lieutenant for command started. You have probably heard that old expression, "the Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) is the backbone of the Army." It's true and every new officer will tell you that is where they really learned about the Army, how to deal with Soldiers, and how to survive on the battlefield. It's not always an easy process, believe me, as there are very few new officers who are not cocky, eager to be a George Patton on the battlefield, and are not always ready to listen to the wise counsel of the experienced NCO.
As Lt. Hendon said, "My platoon sergeant has more than a decade of experience but it took me a few months and a few disagreements before I finally appreciated the value he provided. He was detail oriented and knew how to manage Soldiers and I learned a lot about being a leader from him. I also had three staff sergeants in my platoon that made everything happen. They were talented warriors and leaders and I would go anywhere with any of them."
Since one of the missions of Lt. Hendon's platoon was the training of Iraqi security forces, I asked him the differences in their Army and ours. What he said did not surprise me. "The difference in the US military and the Iraqi military is institutional knowledge. In our military, we have non-commissioned officers who have been doing the same job, at different levels of responsibility, anywhere from 5-20 years. The NCOs who trained them had a similar level of experience. In the Iraqi military, most of their experienced NCOs were killed in the Iran-Iraq war, the Gulf War, or the opening phases of Operation Iraqi freedom. Bottom line, they just do not have the experience base to pass along the knowledge learned."
Ask your friends about their experiences in the US military and specifically where they learned how to be a Soldier. I bet they will tell you the same thing Lt. Hendon and I learned over a quarter of a Century apart in our careers. It came from what an NCO taught them!

Before she was married, the mama was a Marjory daw of the daw family, famous see-sawers.
He who is connected with a "daw," or drab, has many troubles to put up with.
"Nobody ever heard tell of a panther this far north," daw was saying.
Under the circumstances Mr. daw changed his plans immediately.
When he getta his house he lock long tem at his daw, but was no answer.
Mr. daw himself, even as he showed the assay, admired it over and over.
Mr. daw is a tall, slim gentleman of about fifty-five, with a florid face and snow-white mustache and side-whiskers.
"How little you know of business, Fanny," he rejoined, with a wink at Mr. daw.

"I wish I could learn anything else," complained Mr. daw in disgust.

Sydney : The distractions created by the world record pursuit of winning 17 Tests in a row and the fallout from the acrimonious Sydney Test that witnessed India"s threat to pull out of the series following the three-match ban on Harbhajan Singh, resulted in the Australian team losing the edge and finally losing the Perth Test by 72 runs, said former Aussie coach John Buchanan.
The Perth loss reminded Buchanan of Aussies" defeat in Calcutta in 2001, which had also deprived Australia of its 17th consecutive victory.
"It took me back to Calcutta, when after India's first innings we were expected to win. In that situation sometimes the way forward is not as clear as it should be," said Buchanan
He added: "Having been involved when there are records on, and with all the distractions occurring between the second and third Tests, that's all part of it. It (the record) is what everybody expected. People were talking up the wicket, that it was likely to be over in three days. All of those things can play a part in the end."
Buchanan further said that the Perth loss will have a galvanising effect and said the players would march to Adelaide with "clearer minds" for the fourth Test beginning Thursday.
Dismissing the notion that Australia's dominance was waning, he said its greatness should be judged over a 10-year-period, not by the length of its winning streak. "Australia is not invincible but over the movie length they are an incredible side, so let's not get caught up in the snapshot of 16 wins or anything like that," he said.
He admitted, though, that the simultaneous departure of the retired champions would continue to embolden opposition teams to believe they could topple the Australians.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
See above, it suited us perfect No bad points at all
The staff were most helpful and the surroundings we breath taking. Location was central to the train station where you could go to many destinations.
Our room at first wasn't very nice but we asked to see another room and with no problem we found a good room with a view and a balcony. They let us stay late since we didn't have to be at our next stop until the evening. We spent the morning on the balcony, drinking coffee, reading and writing. What a delight.b Breakfast was unimaginative for Austria. A very few Austrian pastries would have been a good touch.
We took a taxi to the wrong hotel (another owned by the group) but we were given a room there even though it should have been more expensive. (sholsch hotel). This hotel was lovely , no complaints.
We found the hotel to be very comfortable, clean and quite charming. The views from our balcony were stunning. No.
The hotel gives you the feeling that you are in home (looks like a traditional country-side home) N/A
The Hotel has a lift to all floors, reception was most helpful and spoke english and the town is a short walk away No bar or Restaurant
The hotel was somewhat dated, it was like staying in the 70's, no restaurant for food and not near a bar / restaurant. The staff however were fine, and there is a Spar next door that was giving away free beer!
Ther location of the hotel was pleasant due to the fact that the next day we were travelling to our next stay for wintersport vacation
Big rooms, good breakfast, free parking place and easy acces from the highway No air condition
The hotel was very comfortable and the staff pleasant and helpful. Also in a central position for sightseeing. Lovely setting with views of the Alps. Would have liked tea making facilities in the room.
I always enjoy staying at the Schloss Hotel. It is a lovely place in a great location surrounded by the beautiful Alpes. The breakfast also is excellent, and the hotel staff are very friendly.
The staff here was amazing! They went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met.
The view was wonderful from our room.
Location is wonderful and the views are magnificent. There is an extensuve menu (available in different languages) and the quality of the cuisine was superb. No.
Location, price, meals. Nothing to mention.
kindly staff,excellent position,nice and clean rooms,partly covered parking,good food with large selection, large selection of vines,suitable breakfast No it wasn"t.
Pleasant room if a little tired. Traditional styling throughout. Excellent receptionist and friendly staff. Food very good and well presented.
The staff were extremely hospitable and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent.
Far better than anticipated. Welcomed with a glass of bubbly. Views from room outstanding and that was just a standard comfort room. Peaceful,one of the best nights sleep for along time. Buffet breakfast the best of the holiday.Staff spoke excellant English. Near by golf course within walking distance. Would definately stay here again. .Would have liked tea and coffee making facilities in the room.
The spa facilities are fine, not very big, but still very pleasant. Good value for money. The only thing that was not as expected was the bedroom, because the one they gave us doesn't have nothing to do with the ones showed on the website's pictures. It was not so good.
Modern Design, Nice Pool, Super Clean, Separation of Toilet Insufficient for a Couple
Location, nice design, excellent fitness and spa center. WIFI connection in the room not available due to a too low signal and no network cable available at the reception. The room design is nice but not very confortable.
good facilities,very clean ,efficient staff,very good value.
The hotel was modern, well designed, clean and had plenty of facilities. The duvet and pillows were comfortable
for that much money in that part of austria the value is ok, the restaruant is very good some of the room (above the kitchen) smell strange
Very friendly atmosphere.Nice,modern bathroom.Breakfast till 10:30 very good for the price. Only possible to pay with AC card or cash.
A nice hotel with easy access to a nice mountain area. We enjoyed the half board. The hotel is located in the valley with nice views to mountains. Good value for money. The hotel is located next to a main road with quite some traffic. We managed, but if you are looking for a quiet place in the mountain do not choose this one.
Very nice hotel staff! Nice room.
fine food good staff no seating aera in room
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel, in the relaxing resort of Brand. Close to stunning scenery including the Lunersee, I would highly recommend staying here. The "half board" menu was a little confusing given our slightly poor German!
some people of the crew was helpful there was no internet access in every room
Great for families...particularly children Wish restaurant had extended hours.
very nice staff, the price is normal, food ok
very nice hotel
I liked it, it is a new facility with a many ammentities. Reasonable priced and rather comfortable. The hotel is not in one of the main towns in the Montafon valley. If you would like to go out at night, you'll need a taxi. That also means that you have to eat there too. You cannot just wander down to the local restuarant.
pleasant staff - bit of a language barrier (not much English) no soap to wash with
It was nice, clean and very comfortable.
Spacious lobby / bar great for families / children Annoying bathroom light due to motion sensor
the JUFA Montafon's concept and place were excellent; the staff was very helpful and nice. Our stay was very pleasant. some of the staff in the reception spoiled the whole picture.

Mildstyle you mean like this, man I been home writing for like 3 or 4 hours 2day. YAWN
F.Y.E. KRU (Fuk You Expekt)

Yeash, thats actually pretty good too but what humor said for now keep that stuff level. Humor that handstyle thing at the bottom is pretty nice. but i say you H in the piece got too much jazz goin on and the R is a bit funky but good job on that one keep it up
how would i spell naked without these letters? Haha just kidding, I like the style but you know me i mix it up...
Humor is that close 2 what you had in mind? .. these letters are sort of hard to work with.
F.Y.E. KRU (Fuk You Expekt)
The S in sweater is weird, and every letter is sorta based off of different sized bars, try keepin them the same. And for like A's and H's( or any letter with a bridge bar) Try to make the connecting bar the same width, it might look better. The sol's are tight bu its awkward in the colored one where the bars meet at the bottom of the S
Temb thats alreayd getting better keep working off of simps like that.
Not my usual style but i fux wit it. Exchange for naps
now that i look at it i realized i forgot the highlights on the PS. oops
his SO is pretty basic really..
and thanks sol.
Oh yeah SOL try to use dead markers to do a fade for a fill, itll come out better

After a brief bout of morning sickness, with overcast skies and weak windswell discouragingly reminiscent of the day prior, the afternoon brought with it sunshine, a building SW, and semi-clean open faces. As the tides fluctuated throughout the day, peaks shifting and sets jacking up in places they hadn't in previous heats, we saw many top competitors simply unable get the sets required to push them through to the next round.
Watch the live webcast now! Surf is PUMPING!
But there was definitely no shortage of good surfing. The obvious stand-out heat of the day was Heat 8 of Round Five when 15-year-old Hawaiian Wildcard Carissa Moore took on WCT surfer Adriano de Souza, World Tour vet Shane Beschen, and Aussie James Wood. Although Moore's waves weren't enough to advance, she justified herself in the lineup, exhibiting the power and poise of one far beyond her years. She came out of the water just as happy and bubbly as she'd entered it, keenly aware that being both female and a teenager and surfing at the Men's QS level, is a prize in itself. "I just had so much fun out there, it was just great to surf with those guys," she said, beaming.
Shane Beschen also acknowleged Moore's extraordinary competitive abilities. "I felt kind of bad taking waves from her," he said after the heat. "But she's alright—she's got a big career in front of her."
Beschen seems to be on fire this week, scoring three of the top 10 best scoring waves of the contest, as well as the overall top wave score of 9.87.
Apart from an audience's fascination with young talent, sports audiences love a good comeback. Spectators at the event seemed to be abuzz with word of the competitive return of Richie Collins, who spent three seasons in the ASP top 10 in the late 80s, and after several wins this week, will go on to compete tomorrow in Round Six against young shredders Kiron Jabour, Tanner Gudauaskas, and Adriano de Souza.
With consistent surf and continuing sunshine predicted over the next few days, there's a good chance the Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro will only get better from here.

Volvo XC70 Models and XC70 History
The Volvo XC70 entered 2005 with new Stone Gray bumpers, a redesigned grille, new headlamps and tail lamps, new aluminum roof rails, new skid plates, new front seats, an updated center console and audio system, and a laundry list of all-new optional add-ons. A new electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system was the only major change for 2006. The XC70 boasted integrated turn signals on the side mirrors, standard tire-pressure monitoring system and stability control in 2007. A larger, faster and safer XC70 debuted as an all-new model in 2008. No significant changes were in store for 2009. But in 2010, the interior was updated and a new grille was added. A slight boost in horsepower alongside trim level tweaks marked the only changes for 2011. No major updates would be made to the 2012-2013 models. But in 2014, the exterior was updated, a heated windshield and steering wheel were added, and an updated collision mitigation system was introduced.

Whack Job Wednesday!
Perhaps by now you have heard the story about the complete idiot who gave us all a thrill last night by walking down the finishing block of the upcoming Boston Marathon wearing a black dress, barefoot, and yelling "Boston Strong!!". He also had two backpacks. You know, like the backpack that exploded a year ago and killed and maimed innocent people? Yeah, that kind of backpack.
Exhibit A:
Well, the police decided to have a talk with him, (like you do) just to make sure he wasn't bat sh*t cray-cray, (because, you know, backpacks). Upon investigation, turns out our little nutjob was a "performance artist", along with many other things. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, Kayvon Edson!
Exhibit B:
So...yeah. Looks like he's another attention starved, self serving, social media bottom feeder. Just glad nobody got hurt. It seems he is going to be sitting somewhere for awhile. Perhaps he'll get some help, get some meds, and really think about what he did.
But then again, maybe not. 'Merica!!!

Teatime is a custom that originated in England, along with buying extra tickets to the theater for each horse you had that is no longer alive. Be British with this Groupon.
$30 for $50 Worth of Artisan Tea and Café Cuisine
The global fusion menu opens with handmade squash dumplings ($7.50) or seasonal tea soup with smoked duck, rice, and shiitake mushrooms ($12). The Russian tea service ($24) pairs concentrated zavarka tea with dainties including tarragon-marinated beets, devilled eggs with caviar, and brownies. Teas range from $6 for iced varieties to $29 for a pot of shade-grown gyokuro. This Groupon is valid exclusively at the Castro and Hayes Valley locations.
Samovar Tea Lounge
Your senses seem stronger inside Samovar Tea Lounge. Warm sunlight streams through tall windows and hushed conversation mingles with the sound of tea flowing from nubbly iron kettles, their contents perfuming the air with hints of herbs, smoke, toasted rice, flowers, and revolutions in Boston. This is owner Jesse Jacobs' vision, what he describes on his website as "an escape from the overflow of information" into an intimate space for human interaction, carved out by the global ritual of sharing tea.
This global emphasis inspires an artisanal menu of small plates and sandwiches that could conceivably be served during tea services in India and Morocco, or, in a playful turn by the chef, the Paleolithic era. It is the tea, however, that enables guests to get acquainted with international terroir without sneaking small shrubs through customs. Small, family farms in countries including Kenya, Paraguay, and Nepal, many of them organic, send their whole-leaf brews to fill Samovar's carefully curated collection. Each of its three locations serves the entire menu, which is comprehensive enough to classify oolong and pu-erh separately and boast vintage blends dating back to 1989.

Darrell Issa, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, made a harsh statement about White House press secretary Jay Carney Sunday.
Appearing on CNN's State of the Union, Issa, before pointing to a picture of Carney, referred to him as the White House's "paid liar" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CONGRESSMAN DARRELL ISSA, R-CALIFORNIA: These transcripts will all be made public.
CANDY CROWLEY, CNN: Why don't you put the whole thing out? Because you know our problem really here is, and you know that your critics say that Republicans and you in particular sort of cherry-pick information that go to your foregone conclusion. And so it worries us to put this kind of stuff out. Can you not put the whole transcript out?
ISSA: The whole transcript will be put out. We understand, these are in real time. And the administration is still, their paid liar, their spokesperson, picture behind, he's still making up things about what happens and calling this local rogue.
The camera pulled back at that point to expose the picture of Carney on the screen behind Crowley.
ISSA: The reason Lois Lerner tried to take the fifth is not because there's a rogue in Cincinnati. It's because this is a problem that was coordinated in all likelihood right out of Washington headquarters and we're getting to proving it. We have eighteen more transcribed interviews to do.
CROWLEY: But as yet you don't have that direct link. You have the frontline agents going, "Yeah, I mean, we figured it was from Washington or I believe it was," but as of yet you don't have that definitive, "Yeah, this guy called me and said, 'People, go look for Tea Party and patriot applications?'"
ISSA: The President's spokesperson is saying whatever is convenient at the time and the story changes.

What is Wrong with my Nose? Bump Started to Form? (photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Hump on Your Nose
When you hit puberty, there are many changes to the shape of your face that take place. Included in this is a change in your nose. It goes from a child looking nose (shorter, flat, larger nostrils) to your adult nose. In those who are genetically determined to have a hump, this is the time that it will begin to appear. This is something easily fixed with a rhinoplasty, in this case I would probably recommend a dorsal rhinoplasty only without anything done to the tip. Having said that, don't do anything until your facial growth is complete. This usually correlates with when you finish growing upward.

Nasal hump
The nasal hump is genetic and is composed of both bone and cartilage. It becomes worse when repetitive trauma to the nose occurs and makes the junction between the bone and cartilage growth callus. The only treatment is a rhinoplasty. A septoplasty may be needed for improvement of airflow is medical management has failed to improve the congestion.

Nasal bump, hump, growth
The most common cause for a dorsal hump is genetics. When someone reaches adolescence and begins to go through puberty the body against to take on adult characteristics including changes in the facial features. In the absence of trauma to your nose I would suspect that if you look at your parents nose is there would be any dorsal hump on at least one of their noses. A nasal injury or fracture can also cause a hump to develop as the bone heals. This would be in line with the fact that there is some pain on the nasal dorsum. If you are bothered by the bump I would consider surgery to have it removed once you have completed participating in contact sports or activities where you may injure your nose. I discourage the expectation that nasal surgery may eliminate the pre-existing pain. If there is no history of trauma and the sinus x-rays are normal the pain can occasionally come from a severe deviation of the nasal septum which you're Dr. would have been able to see. Before doing anything consult with your parents and partake of there wisdom.

Rubio Named To BBVA Rising Stars Challenge
David Sherman/NBAE/Getty Images
Rubio joins teammate Alexey Shved, who was selected by a pool of NBA assistant coaches on January 30, and will also be on TEAM CHUCK. The game will tip-off at 8:00 p.m. (CST) and will be broadcast live on TNT. TNT analysts Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal, general managers for the 2013 BBVA Rising Stars Challenge, made their player selections live on TNT.
Rubio, 22, will make his second straight Rising Stars Challenge appearance after recording 12 points, seven assists and three rebounds a year ago for TEAM SHAQ. In 21 contests, 11 starts, this season Rubio is averaging 6.1 points, 6.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 24.7 minutes per game. He has upped those numbers to 10.8 points, 10.2 assists and 2.3 steals in 29.7 minutes per game over his last six contests. Monday night vs. Portland he tied a career high with 14 assists, including 10 in the fourth quarter which tied a franchise record for most assists in a quarter by a single player. He followed that effort up with an 11-assist performance last night vs. San Antonio.
The 2013 BBVA Rising Stars Challenge features two teams drafted by Barkley and O'Neal who will serve as the opposing general managers. Each team has nine man rosters, consisting of both NBA rookies and sophomores drafted from the available pool selected by the NBA's assistant coaches. The head coaches for both teams will be the lead assistant coaches from the 2013 NBA All-Star Game coaching staffs -- Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs. Fans will have the opportunity to vote online for who should be in the starting lineup for each team.
The 2013 BBVA Rising Stars Challenge will be played Friday, Feb. 15, in Houston as part of NBA All-Star 2013. During the game, fans will be able to vote for the MVP via Twitter, online and on mobile devices at NBA.com, through the NBA Game Time and NBA Game Time from Sprint apps, and SMS texting. This is the first time that fans will be able to vote via social media for the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge MVP.
This marks the second straight year rookies and sophomores will be mixed together on teams. Last year in Orlando, Irving netted a game-high 34 points and MVP honors as he led TEAM CHUCK over TEAM SHAQ 146-133.
The BBVA Rising Stars Challenge will be televised live nationally on TNT at 9 p.m. ET and also will be broadcast live on ESPN Radio, while NBA.com will make live audio available to fans in multiple languages.

- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 12 maraschino cherries, drained and finely chopped
- 3 drops red food coloring
- 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
In a small bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter until smooth. Add the sugar and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add the dry ingredients all at once and beat at low speed just until combined.
Divide the dough in thirds and place in 3 small bowls. Stir the cherries and red food coloring into the dough in one bowl. Fold the melted chocolate and walnuts into the dough in the second bowl. Roll each piece of dough into a 12-inch log and wrap in wax paper. Chill just until slightly firm, about 30 minutes.
Unwrap the dough logs and place them on a work surface. Press each log into a 12-by-2-inch block. Stack the blocks with the plain dough in the middle. Press on the blocks lightly to adhere, being careful to retain their rectangular shape. Cover and chill until very firm, at least 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350°. Transfer the dough to a work surface and gently tap it on all sides to straighten the sides and corners. Using a very sharp knife, cut the dough into scant 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange them on 3 large cookie sheets. Bake one sheet at a time for about 17 minutes, until the cookies are very lightly browned. Using a spatula, immediately transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 23.0202 Friday, 25 May 2012
Date: May 24, 2012 10:39:57 PM EDT
Subject: Maria in Twelfth Night, Act 5
Has anyone ever come up with a convincing explanation as to why Maria is not present in Act 5 of Twelfth Night? Her absence is not dramatically convincing, and it can't be for any weird doubling reason, e.g. with Sebastian (although superficially plausible, that would have resulted in at least two impossible exits/entries.)

Strong House (Vassar College)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strong House (originally Strong Hall) is a dormitory at Vassar College named after Bessie Rockefeller Strong, the oldest daughter of oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, who was largely responsible for funding the building's construction.[1] It is the only all female dormitory remaining after Vassar went coeducational in 1969. The building was designed by Francis R. Allen and was completed in 1893.[2]
It is located at Vassar College, in Poughkeepsie, New York.

But that misses the danger of an enthusiasm gap among those who thought they were getting a true-blue progressive in 2008.
Candidates like Scott Walker are true-blue conservatives, but also, as Robinson, who is African-American, sees it, too white.
He was derided as a true-blue conservative with less charisma than his sweater vest.
A lot of us poor Penny 'Bus fares, as isn't high-born or true-blue.
Thence, after the Reformation, it passed into the hands of a true-blue Protestant family.
You're true-blue all through, without a streak of yellow in the whole of your composition.
"That's a true-blue old chap," remarked the lawyer, as the sheriff departed.
He was not born on our soil, but he was a true-blue American for all that.
Mr Redmond demanded the right to nominate a committee of twenty-five "true-blue" supporters of his own policy.
Her going means a return to work, and you hate to work if you are a convalescent of the true-blue sort.

Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins called it quits late last year after 23 years together, but it sounds like the actress is living without regrets. She told Entertainment Weekly that it's weird to date again, she doesn't mind being called a cougar and that she definitely feels free:
"I did a movie a long time ago where I had to fly in a glider. You get towed up in the air by a plane, and it's loud and annoying. And at some point you pull the cord and you're suddenly floating, and in your mind it makes absolutely no sense. But it's exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. That's where I am now."

He was with the Canadians, too, when he was killed at armentieres, three months ago.
The line of opposing trenches was about a mile and a half east of armentieres.
The New Zealand division which had come into our area, held the line in front of armentieres.
We skirted the borders of Belgium and arrived at armentieres in the afternoon.
We got a motor bus where the railways cross the armentieres road.
I joined the battalion again at armentieres where we remained a few days and then went forward to Ypres.
On the following Sunday, we had a church parade in the square in armentieres.
The streets of armentieres were well laid out and some of the private residences were very fine.
Others say they hear heavy bombarding which appears to come from armentieres.
We were brought to armentieres in order to be put into the trenches with some of the British units for instruction.

(CNSNews.com) - "Democratic leaders want to offer free health care to millions of uninsured children. Who could be against that?" asks a liberal advocacy group.
MoveOn.org is pushing Democrats in Congress to expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), which will expire on Sept. 30 unless Congress reauthorizes it.
Both the House and Senate are expected to vote on expanding the program before the congressional recess begins in August, and both chambers are considering a hike in tobacco taxes to help pay the expansion.
Senate Democrats want to spend an extra $35 billion taxpayer dollars on SCHIP over the next five years, adding millions of children -- including those from middle-income families -- to the rolls. The House is expected to support an even bigger spending increase for SCHIP, press reports said.
But President Bush wants to limit the spending increase to $5 billion over five years, and he says only low-income children should be included in the program.
MoveOn.org sees an expansion of the taxpayer-funded program as "our chance to make progress on health care."
But President Bush and other conservatives warn that Democrats are using the SCHIP expansion to get the government more involved in health care.
"I believe government cannot provide affordable health care," President Bush said last week. "I believe it would cause...the quality of care to diminish. I believe there would be lines and rationing over time."
The president says an expansion of government health coverage will reduce the availability of private insurance.
"If Congress continues to insist upon expanding health care through the S-CHIP program -- which, by the way, would entail a huge tax increase for the American people -- I'll veto the bill," he said.
MoveOn.org says it still doesn't have enough votes to override a presidential veto, and in an effort to pressure senators, the group is circulating an online petition, which urges Congress to "support full funding for the State Children's Health Insurance Program."
The petition says extending coverage to millions of uninsured children will "bring America closer to quality, affordable health care for all."
The SCHIP program, a ten-year-old federal-state partnership, offers health coverage to 6 million children whose families earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid, but who can't afford private insurance.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which administers the program, notes that different states have different eligibility rules. But in most states, uninsured children under the age of 19, whose families earn up to about $36,200 a year (for a family of four) are eligible. The insurance pays for doctor visits, immunizations, hospitalizations, and emergency room visits.
In his remarks on health care last week, President Bush said the current debate hinges on a "philosophical divide."
"Some in Congress believe the best solution to solving the frustrations of [the] uninsured and high costs for small businesses is to expand the role of government. I have a different point of view. I believe the best way to deal with the frustrations of the high cost of health care and uninsured is to change the tax code," making private health care "more affordable and more available."
Instead of expanding the SCHIP program beyond low-income children, President Bush is advocating a new tax deduction for families who buy their own insurance.
Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt says the Bush administration supports SCHIP for low-income children, but it opposes any move toward a single, government-run health system.
In an April 23, 2007 commentary, Leavitt wrote, "the administration will not support a gradual government takeover of the health care market, and neither will the American people. If the world has learned anything from the 20th century, it is that free markets beat governments at delivering value and controlling costs."
Democrats advocate 'universal coverage
In a Monday night debate in South Carolina, the Democratic presidential hopefuls were asked what they would do to make low-cost preventative medicine available to everyone in the United States.
"Hopefully, everybody here (the Democratic hopefuls) will provide a plan for universal coverage," said Sen. Barack Obama.
Obama said the next president must make sure that drug and insurance companies don't have an undue influence on health care legislation.
Sen. John Edwards reminded viewers that he proposed a universal health care plan several months ago.
"The only way to cover everybody is to mandate it," Edwards said. "We have talked about it too long. We have got to stand up to the insurance companies and the drug companies that Barack just spoke about. It is the only way we're ever going to bring about real change."
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said the most important thing is to "have a sense of national commitment that universal health care is an American value."
She also singled out drug and insurance companies, saying they have to stop telling Americans that "we can't do what most other developed countries do, which is cover everybody and provide decency and respect to every single person in this country with health care."
Bill Richardson said his health care plan would "cover everybody."
"In this country, no matter who you are, whether you're a ditch- digger, you're a teacher, you're a CEO, you're a waiter, you're a maid, every American deserves the right to the best possible quality health care."
He also stressed prevention. "It's starting early with kids. It's having -- get rid of junk food in schools, as I did in New Mexico..."digg_skin = 'compact'

Is Bluegrass A Distinctly American Form Of Music?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
Bluegrass is a distinctly American form of music that developed out of country music during the late 1930s and throughout the 1940s. It originated when country singer and songwriter Bill Monroe (1911–1996) altered the tempo, key, pitch, and instrumentation of traditional country music to create a new style. A native of Kentucky—known as the bluegrass state—he named the style after his own band, the Blue Grass Boys. In October of 1939 Monroe and his band appeared on The Grand Ole Opry radio show and performed this new style of music. Although bluegrass has changed since those days, Bill Monroe remains the "Father of Bluegrass."

I've had 10 days off here in Portland and it's hardly felt like the summer. It's been so nice, not to imply that I think the summer isn't nice, it's just been pretty rainy here and I've been indoors making this new goddamned website instead of riding around outside like I should be.
NEW STUFF! There are new things on this website now!

I'll always have the newest souvenir in the little salmon colored bubble to the right! Right now it's the new YACHT album, which you can buy on CD or on iTunes.
I'm sick of entering in YACHT shows on MySpace, Virb, and wherever else. I want to just do it in one place and have those sites sync to that one place. Like iCal, or Google Calendars. Something. Until then, I'm just going to link to my shows on Virb. That's the little seafoam bubble on the left.

Matt Kuchar has a suggestion on how to solve the slow play problem on the PGA Tour.
"It might be interesting to have a tournament with a shot clock," Kuchar said.
PGA TOUR: Tiger Woods joins chorus on slow play
Last week Kuchar won the Players Championship where some rounds lasted almost five hours.
The delays were highlighted by the problems that Kevin Na was having executing a swing, but there were many guilty golfers. Kuchar suggests a 40-second shot clock.
"On a hard course, you're going to find yourself in scenarios, I think in a couple of places – Charlotte, Memorial, the Masters – greens are fast, you have challenging shots," Kuchar said. "Three‑footers, it's easy to tap in. In certain places if you have 3‑footers, and you miss, it's 7 feet coming back. I would be interested to see a shot clock thrown out there."

Building Appeals Board
The Building Appeals Board (BAB) is an independent statutory body established under the Building Act 1993.
The BAB is empowered to determine any matter relating to the Building Regulations 2006 (the Regulations), the Building Code of Australia 2006 and specified provisions of the Building Act 1993 (the Act).
The BAB hears appeals and disputes in relation to building control matters and can waive, modify or vary the provisions of particular regulations based upon the particular case. Furthermore, the BAB can determine that a particular design or element of a building complies with the Act and the Regulations.
The BAB provides services under three categories:
- disputes about the applicability of the regulations, adjoining property work and inspections
- reviews of refusal of building and occupancy permits, report and consent of building regulations and building notices and/or building orders
- referrals and modifications on whether a design or element of the building complies with the Act or Regulations, or whether the provision of the regulations does not apply to a particular building.
A panel of building experts brings many years of experience to the process, which will save you unnecessary expenditure by avoiding the need for legal representation. BAB decisions are made quickly and cannot be appealed, except to the Supreme Court on matters of law.
Furthermore, the BAB has the ability to fast track appeal matters in accordance with s147 of the Act.
You can contact the BAB for more information on 1300 421 082 or email@example.com.
What BAB staff can and cannot do
BAB staff can provide:
- information about BAB procedures and processes
- general information about relevant legislation and BAB rules
- BAB forms
- an interpreter (the BAB should be given two weeks' notice to ensure an interpreter is available)
- contact details for other organisations that may be able to assist.
BAB staff cannot:
- give legal advice
- provide advice about bringing a case before the BAB
- advise on the possible outcome of a matter
- recommend a lawyer or agent to act on a person's behalf
- provide advice about filling in BAB forms
- tell a person what to say when they are before the BAB panel
- arrange a meeting with BAB panel members before or after a hearing
- guarantee an interpreter on the day of a hearing if not previously notified
- explain why the BAB panel made a certain decision
- provide confidential case information.
Public attendance at BAB hearings
BAB hearings are usually held on Thursday mornings and are open to the public. Observers are welcome provided they are not a witness in the matter being heard. On occasions, the BAB may decide it is in the public's interest to hear an appeal in private.
Case listings and times are confirmed on the day prior to hearings and any member of the public wishing to attend should contact the Registrar on 1300 421 082 for further information.

For each year's International Day of Peace, the UN is reaching out to local schools, youth groups, organizations and local media to find out about ongoing peace projects.
To post your stories, photos and video clips, please go to the UN International Day of Peace Facebook page at www.facebook.com/unpeaceday
Taking the lead is UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, answering the question "What are YOU doing for peace?"
What does the UN Secretary-General do for Peace?
"As Secretary-General of the United Nations, peace is my main job.
Peace doesn't just happen – it must be nurtured, maintained and defended.
I work for peace in many different ways:
I mediate between antagonists, urging them to resolve their differences peacefully;
There are many tools in the peacemaker's kit – diplomacy and human rights; development and disarmament; peacekeeping and peacebuilding – and I use them every single day.
And each year on the International Day of Peace, I ring the Peace Bell at UN Headquarters, sending a message that I hope resounds throughout the world."

School to Careers
School to Careers is a career development project for 7-12th grade students, educators and parents. Through video, Web and interactive activities students are introduced to career professionals, projects and ideas that help them identify their interests and plan for their futures.
Over 200 career professionals are profiled on the Web site through video, photos and text. Through discussion boards and interactive activities students gain a realistic portrait of a variety of career pathways.
Ten of the math and science profession profiles are enhanced with additional information. Findings in a study conducted by the University of Chicago and funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation concluded that many adolescents have high ambitions, but few are aware of the practical steps they must take to achieve those career ambitions. Parents and schools are instrumental in helping students "align" their educational and occupational ambitions. The resources provided in the "Enhanced Careers" link enable students, with the support of parents and educators, to construct a strategic plan for future career ambitions.
The School to Careers project offers these career development resources:
Video library of 200+ careers (available online). (VHS copies are available to Iowa teachers through the AEAs).
Interactive Web site.
Professional development workshops and classes. (Available to Iowa teachers at the local district or at the AEA. Staff development and/or graduate credit).
Broadcast on statewide Iowa Public Television of the Odyssey series. Teacher's guide available on the Web. (This is a 6-part series featuring careers clustered into pathways:
Agriscience and Natural Resources
Arts and Communications
Business, Information Management and Marketing
Engineering, Industrial and Technological Sciences
Family and Human Services
Health Sciences
Videoconferencing sessions on the Iowa Communications Network (ICN).
Iowa Educators can sign up for sessions through the calendar:
Calendar sessions
Additional resources about engineering, mathematics and physical science careers are available through the Sloan Career Cornerstone Series. This collaborative effort of eleven professional societies describes some of the diverse career paths open to engineers, mathematicians and physical scientists.
To learn more about the Cornerstone Series go to www.careercornerstone.org.
The views presented on this site do not necessarily reflect those of Iowa Public Television; nor does IPTV endorse the businesses represented. Our mission is to make students aware of a variety of careers with as much objective information as possible.

This was by design, but I just changed it, so in the next release it will

Adaptation of reef corals to climate change is an issue of much debate, and often viewed as too slow a process to be of relevance over decadal time scales. This notion is based on the long sexual generation times typical for some coral species. However, the importance of somatic mutations during asexual reproduction and growth on evolution and adaptation (

The importance of somatic mutations in evolution and adaptation is well recognized for some organisms and life forms, such as prokaryotes and viruses (reviewed in [
Asexual reproduction is a key attribute of colonial corals that may facilitate the proliferation of localized mutations within colonies and subsequent propagation as new independent colonies. A number of modes of asexual reproduction are recognized in reef building corals [

Corals possess a set of attributes that theoretically provides them with considerable adaptive potential through somatic mutations and selection thereon. Many species show extensive asexual reproduction, indeterminate growth, asexual regeneration following partial colony mortality, and longevity, resulting in many mitotic cell divisions and hence, opportunities for somatic mutations to arise within an individual. All coral species lack germ cell lines. Instead, germ cells arise from somatic cells, and therefore, many cell divisions take place prior to the formation of gametes. The model cnidarian,
