The Screaming Eagles of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division are an elite fighting force designated as an aerial assault unit -- the only such unit in the world. While no guarantees are made as to your assignment after enlistment, there are steps you can take to increase your chances for service in the 101st. Being well prepared for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, or ASVAB, and being in excellent physical shape are primary areas of concentration. The other area concerns navigating the recruitment process to best position yourself to get into the U.S. Army's Air Assault School.
Study for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and begin a physical training regimen, which includes push ups, sit ups, running and pull ups. Do this before going to the recruiter, because you may take the ASVAB during this visit. Much is determined by this test, including the jobs for which you qualify. Physical training should be started early because the test is administered while in boot camp, and you need to be in good shape to qualify for airborne or air assault school.
Visit your local Army recruiter. Tell them you want to be in the 101st Airborne and want to attend Air Assault School. As they normally cannot guarantee this, work with them to determine the best qualifications to obtain this goal. Find out what jobs are in demand, and if they are needed in the 101st Airborne. These can include specialist ratings, such as human resources, cooks and supply positions. Most divisions require these personnel, in addition to infantry training. Your qualifications are determined by your final ASVAB score.
Ask the recruiter to recommend a course of action. Recruiters will guide you in the right direction if you ask the right questions. See if you can secure Fort Campbell, or airborne school, as a condition of enlistment, which may be possible if the Army is in need at that particular time.
Follow along with the enlistment plan per the recruitment process. If no guarantees are made, things may come available while in boot camp, especially if you score high on the Army Physical Fitness Test, or APFT. To qualify for Air Assault School, a score of 240 must be attained, which is broken down into three sections: push ups, sit ups and a two-mile run. Also, running an obstacle course and doing pull ups are required for airborne and air assault training.
Continue the physical fitness training while waiting to report to boot camp. Every bit of preparation helps.

But there's more to Moorabbin than just an airstrip, it's also the place where Melbournites swarm to in the chase of a bargain at DFO Moorabbin, open from 10am to 6pm daily. There's great discounts for all preferences from an Adidas outlet for the fitness enthusiasts out there to Cotton On Kids for the mums and dads who need some new threads for the kids at a great price.
Outside Moorabbin, the city of Melbourne itself ticks the boxes for both travellers and locals alike, offering cool alleyways, an eclectic culture and vibrant nightlife. If you're a keen sightseer visiting Melbourne for the first time, make sure you stop by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne Zoo, Queen Victoria Market and the National Sports Museum.
If you get a chance, don't forget to explore the Dandenong ranges, and the Mornington Penisular both just a an hour outside of Moorabbin. For more great places, check out Thrifty's Travel Ideas!

Pretty Cure Special Story: From Villain to Cure focuses on Fresh Pretty Cure! 's Higashi Setsuna, Heartcatch Pretty Cure Retelling! 's Shinto Sayaka, and Suite Pretty Cure 's Kurokawa Ellen. No villains appear in this short story.
Please do not add this under "fan series" or "Pretty Cure fanime"!
Ellen invites Setsuna and Sayaka over to discuss about their pasts and how they were first created. The mascots hear of this, and decide to listen to the story, and Hummy even ends up helping Ellen with her story.
NOTICE: Villain name is first.
- Eas/Higashi Setsuna/Cure Passion (Fresh)
- She used to work for Labyrinth until episode 23 of her series, where she was revived as the fourth Pretty Cure, Cure Passion. It is unknown if she can still change into her original form.
- Cure Blossom Mirage/Shinto Sayaka/Cure Lily (Heartcatch Retelling)
- She used to feel unconfident about Tsubomi changing, but after resolving the final test, was taken to the Pretty Cure Palace and later became Cure Lily. After this, she can no longer transform into her original form.
- Siren/Kurokawa Ellen/Cure Beat (Suite)
- In 2011, Hummy was chosen to sing the Melody of Happiness instead of Siren, and later ended up brainwashed and became a tool to Mephisto to complete the Melody of Sadness. When becoming Cure Beat, Ellen could no longer turn back into her feline form, much like how Sayaka can't turn back into her original form.
To come soon...
- I hope to make a spin-off of this very soon.
- This is what each character said after each story:
- After Setsuna's story
- Sayaka: Wow! A near death experience! Thank goodness for Akarun!
- Ellen: Pretty interesting to me. Congrats on your revival, Setsuna.
- After Sayaka's story
- Setsuna: In a whole other dimension? Created by the Heartcatch Mirage? Amazing!
- Ellen: Sort of reminds me of Tsubomi and her shy past. Glad to see how you've changed, Sayaka.
- After Ellen's story
- Setsuna: I wish you were chosen in 2011 instead! Of course, Hummy is cute too!
- Sayaka: Eh?! Being brainwashed is new for a Pretty Cure! If you can only become Ellen and Cure Beat, that's a lot like me!
- After Setsuna's story

Hi Army, Thnx for the reply, I did the sysinfo call and here is what it spit out: ------------------ Java Information ------------------ Java Version: 1.4.2 Java Vendor: IBM Corporation Java home: C:\Progra~1\IBM\java\jre Java classpath: %CLASSPATH%;C:\Progra~1\IBM\eclipse\plugins\org.apac he.derby\derby.jar;C:\Progra~1\IBM\eclipse\plugins\org.apache.derby\d erbytools.jar OS name: Windows 2003 OS architecture: x86 OS version: 5.2 Java user name: user Java user home: C:\Documents and Settings\user Java user dir: C:\Documents and Settings\user java.specification.name: Java Platform API Specification java.specification.version: 1.4 --------- Derby Information -------- JRE - JDBC: J2SE 1.4.2 - JDBC 3.0 [C:\Program Files\IBM\eclipse\plugins\org.apache.derby\derby.jar] 10. 1.2.5 - (413784) [C:\Program Files\IBM\eclipse\plugins\org.apache.derby\derbytools.jar ] 10.1.2.5 - (413784) I can't give the query (or the DB), but I can give you a gist of how it goes: I've got VIEW1 which is fairly small, it's got about 8 columns and left-outer-joins on 4 other smaller tables (I can run a select successfully on this table). VIEW2 which selects from VIEW1 goes something like: create view VIEW2 as select blah, blah2, ... from (select blah, blah2... from view1 left outer join on 1 left outer join on 2 ) temp1, (select blah3, blah4... from view1 left outer join 3 left outer join 4 ) temp2 where blah blah blah; Now, that gets a bit complex, but I can still do a select on it and get back results (after a bit of time). VIEW3 gets interesting (and causes the failure), it goes something like: create view VIEW3 as select blah1, blah2, blah3... case ... when .. when... when... end from VIEW2 left outer join (select blah6, blah7 from VIEW2 where blah blah blah) on blah..... left outer join... left outer join.. where .... So as you can see, VIEW3 gets complex (since we select from VIEW2 twice). However, if I create a separate view for the select in the from clause and do a regular left outer join, it still will not work. I've simplified it by removing certain rows and it still will not work. It seems like doing any manipulation on VIEW2 crashes the thing. Any idea? What more info do you need? Regards, Prashanth Menon

So the Playstation 3 gaming machine is finally out! Millions of people have stood outside stores and malls for hours upon hours just to be one of the first to get their hands on the $600 PS3. From the looks of it there are around 8,000 of those people who didn't even buy the system for themselves!
Yep, eBay is the marketplace for these bad boys right now with average selling prices floating between $2,000 and $3,500. And then there are always the jokesters that are paying over $20 million for a system. It actually looks like it may have been worth standing in line to pick one of these up because I know I could have found a place where 8-hours would have been plenty soon enough…and then I would be guaranteed to profit nearly $1,400! That's almost $200 per hour that I would have made for standing in line. The 30 degree (Fahrenheit) weather doesn't make that very appetizing though.
Now we're moving on to the Nintendo Wii which is shipping on Sunday, November 19th. People who have reserved the system are selling their pre-order on eBay but it doesn't even come close to the insane prices that the Playstation 3's are going for. The Wii pre-orders look like they're selling for $600-$1000 on average.
I just can't get over how much people pay for a video game system. At a minimum price of $500 for the Playstation 3, along with the very low supply and high demand, I don't think a lot of parents will be thrilled this year when kids ask for a new system for Christmas. Sony has had good timing to get this released in time for the holidays but there is no way that they will be able to keep up with the demand. I imagine that, much like the Xbox 360, the stores will be constantly stocked with these systems by February…so if you want one you should just sit tight and hold on to your wallet!
Thanks to MetaMan for reminding me to post about this!

We attended the Spicy Candy DC & One Medical networking brunch this past Sunday and were excited to see so many new faces and edgy style. Washington DC can be a preppy city, but not all style means dressing up; sometimes you just want to see some rock and roll mixed into your fashion.
This event was a huge success and highlighted One Medical who has an interesting take on primary health care. New to DC, they offer same-day doctor visits, online access to your records and an iPhone App. Worth investigating.

StateImpact Special: How Gary's Administration Is Getting To Work
All this week, we're bringing you stories from inside the Gary Community School Corporation – a district many agree is in need of repair. Yesterday, we introduced you to the city of Gary, its history and some of the major players in the local schools.
Today, we go on a ride through the district and into the school buildings with a woman many credit for the beginnings of Gary's turnaround: Superintendent Cheryl Pruitt.
A sneak peek…
Dr. Cheryl Pruitt is a product of the district she now heads. During the course of her career, she has also taught and served as an administrator at several Gary schools. She says she never planned to become superintendent – it's one of those things that "just kind of happened." And, she says, it's home.
Despite her love for the city, she's not in denial about the problems its school district faces.
I'm probably not the traditional superintendent, because I have debt, I have funding, I have education – and then I have the negative publicity, the vouchers, the charters, the takeover – it kind of all just goes together in my head.

Perceptual trap
A perceptual trap is an ecological scenario in which environmental change, typically anthropogenic, leads an organism to avoid an otherwise high-quality habitat. The concept is related to that of an ecological trap, in which environmental change causes preference towards a low-quality habitat.
In a 2004 article discussing source-sink dynamics, James Battin did not distinguish between high-quality habitats that are preferred or avoided, labelling both "sources."[2] The latter scenario, in which a high-quality habitat is avoided, was first recognised as an important phenonmenon in 2007 by Gilroy and Sutherland,[3] who described them as "undervalued resources." The term "perceptual trap" was first proposed by Michael Patten and Jeffrey Kelly in a 2010 article.[1] Hans Van Dyck[4] argues that the term is misleading because perception is also a major component in other cases of trapping.
Animals use discrete environmental cues to select habitat.[5] A perceptual trap occurs if change in an environmental cue leads an organism to avoid a high-quality habitat.[1] It differs, therefore, from simple habitat avoidance, which may be a correct decision given the habitat's quality.[1] The concept of a perceptual trap is related to that of an ecological trap, in which environmental change causes preference towards a low-quality habitat.[1] There is expected to be strong natural selection against ecological traps, but not necessarily against perceptual traps, as Allee effects may restrict a population's ability to establish itself.[1]
To support the concept of a perceptual trap, Patten and Kelly[1] cited a study of the lesser prairie chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus). The species' natural environment, shinnery oak grassland, is often treated with the herbicide tebuthiuron to increase grass cover for cattle grazing.[1] Herbicide treatment resulted in less shrub cover, a habitat cue that caused female lesser prairie-chickens to avoid the habitat in favour of untreated areas. However, females who nested in herbicide-treated areas achieved comparable nesting successes and clutch sizes to those in untreated areas.[1] Patten and Kelly suggest that the adverse effects of tebuthiuron treatment on nesting success are countered by various effects, such as greater nest concealment through increased grass cover.[1] Therefore, female birds are erroneously avoiding a high-quality habitat. Patten and Kelly[1] also cited as a possible perceptual trap the cases of the spotted towhee (Pipilo maculatus) and rufous-crowned sparrow (Aimophila ruficeps), which tend to avoid habitat fragments, even though birds nesting in habitat fragments achieve increased nesting success due to a reduction in snake predation.[6]

Effects of smoking on the genetic risk of obesity: the population architecture using genomics and epidemiology study
Genetic epidemiology and genetic associations
Although smoking behavior is known to affect body mass index (BMI), the potential for smoking to influence genetic associations with BMI is largely unexplored.
As part of the 'Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE)' Consortium, we investigated interaction between genetic risk factors associated with BMI and smoking for 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously identified in genome-wide association studies. We included 6 studies with a total of 56,466 subjects (16,750 African Americans (AA) and 39,716 European Americans (EA)). We assessed effect modification by testing an interaction term for each SNP and smoking (current vs. former/never) in the linear regression and by stratified analyses.
We did not observe strong evidence for interactions and only observed two interactions with p-values <0.1: for rs6548238/
These analyses provide limited evidence that smoking status may modify genetic effects of previously identified genetic risk factors for BMI. Larger studies are needed to follow up our results.
Clinical Trial Registration
The relationship between BMI and smoking is complex. Genetic variation is partially responsible for determining BMI, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple variants associated with body mass index (BMI) in novel loci
This study examines the potential for effect modification by smoking in the well-replicated association between GWAS-identified SNPs and BMI, using data derived from 56,466 European American (EA) and African American (AA) men and women as part of the NHGRI-supported 'Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE)' Consortium
Study populations
PAGE involves several studies, described in detail elsewhere
To reduce the likelihood of including individuals with extreme BMI due to a comorbid condition or a rare mutation, these analyses only included subjects with BMI ≥18.5 and <70. In our prior analyses, we found that using tighter BMI restrictions (i.e., BMI <40 and BMI <50) did not substantially alter results
Anthropometric measurements
In MEC, self-reported height and weight were used to calculate baseline BMI (calculated as weight (kg) ÷ height (m)2). Multiple studies have described systematic biases in self-reported compared to measured height and weight; yet in general these differences are small (<1.0 kg/m2) and are unlikely to affect any conclusions
SNP selection and genotyping
SNPs were selected from GWAS studies published online as of December 31, 2008, based on prior GWAS findings of positive association with BMI or obesity. We analyzed a total of 10 SNPs, after excluding correlated SNPs. Details of the SNP selection process, DNA extraction and genotyping procedures, as well as the association between each of these SNPs and BMI in PAGE have been reported elsewhere
Statistical analysis
All analyses were adjusted for continuous age and stratified by racial/ethnic group. Because it has been described that nicotine has antiestrogenic properties and is metabolized differently in men and women, all analyses were additionally stratified by sex
To evaluate the association between each SNP and smoking status, we performed logistic regression using current smoking status as the dependent variable (current = 1 vs. former/never = 0).
Results (effect sizes and SEs) from each PAGE study were combined with meta-analysis using R
Finally, as a sensitivity analysis to explore the effect of age, we repeated all analyses excluding subjects enrolled in CARDIA, who tended to be younger than subjects enrolled at the other PAGE sites (Table
Participant demographics and BMI are detailed in Table
Out of all analyses performed in EA and AAs, none of the SNP*smoking interaction terms were, statistically significant at p-value ≤ 0.05 (Tables
Further, we observed that in female EA, the A allele of rs9939609/
In our results, we found little evidence for effect modification by smoking status, although two SNPs (rs6548238
The FTO protein may also be involved in neural pathways of energy homeostasis
Sex-and race/ethnicity-based differences in interaction with smoking could be attributable to differences in smoking behavior, such as cigarette brand choice, and daily vs. occasional "social" smoking
We did not adjust any analyses to account for multiple testing because we restricted all analyses to SNPs previously known to be associated with BMI. However, these unadjusted results may be prone to increased type 1 error and our results should be replicated in future, larger studies.
We provide an investigation of the hypothesis that genetic predisposition to obesity may be modified by tobacco use among EA and AA men and women. We observed no strong evidence for SNP*smoking interaction. Despite the relatively large sample size of over 50,000 participants power was limited and future larger studies should investigate the potential sex-specific effects of smoking on each variant's association with energy balance.
