Some background: In WWI an American Pilot was shot down(rumor has it that it was the famous Edward Rickenbacker but no one has ever been able to confirm) over the French trench lines, and was recovered by the French, who thought he was a German Flyer , when he said "Look I'm an American" and produced a "Coin" with the American Flag on one side and the insignia of The American Flyers one the other...and thus, challenge coins were born...
One of my Uncles was a WWII & Korean War Marine Corps Pilot, and later would become one of the Orig. NYPD Flight officers..He also taught me how to fly(at age 12). The first coin I ever had was from the AF Museum @ Wright/Patterson AFB, that another cousin gave me(who would go on to be CH.of Staff Of the USAF-Retiring last November after 42 Years...) Over the years I collected other coins, but I didn't begin displaying and trading them until this last year when My Wife & I bought our house and started a "Memorial Wall" to Both our Fathers-Hers was a Combat Eng. with the 25th Inf. Div. In Korea & then a NYPD Officer for 28 years, Retiring as a Supv. Lt. MY Dad Served as an Artillery Battery Sgt. In Korea (2 Years of Combat) and then began a Reserve Career that lasted until 1984, Including a Trip to Vietnam in 1965(as a criminal Investigator), and concurrently was also a Federal LEO(Post Office Police/Postal Insp.) until his passing in Late 1987(he was Also a Lt. at the time of his passing). Front of my display-from left to right: 4 of the Helicopters I flew, the Mh/UH-60 Blackhawk, UH-1 Huey, AH-1 Cobra, and the Kiowa Warrior(OH-58D), US Army Combat Action, Vietnam Memorial Wall coin, US Army Aviation Coin, IAVA.Org coin. Rear: Decoration coins-PH, Bronze Star, Silver star, DFC, Soldiers Medal, Air Medal,(still missing a few! Not even Medals of America Makes Army Comm. Or MSM Coins!) and My Unit Coins-1st Cav, 160th Sp.Ops Av. Batt./Grp.(now a Regt.) and 10th Av Brigade/10th Mtn..... I also Carry an Oval shaped US Army Aviator Coin in my right pocket.....and trade The Army Aviation Coins & Army Veteran Core Values Coins to get others which go in a different display(I have extras of those)....
Attachment 107131
the name "challenge coin" means that if you have been issued a unit's coin (log kept of all recipients} and are CHALLENGED by a fellow recipient (usually at a bar). then you must display it.....if not, you must buy the challenger a drink.
Nice collection football. I myself only have one. It is President George W. Bush's Commander in Chief coin, given to me by the man himself. Ill post a picture tomorrow when I'm off work.
It is probably my most (sentimentally) valuable thing I own. Except for my wedding ring.
Outstanding JW! We met Mr. Regan & Mr.Bush Sr. when they "Greeted" us at the WH...I was Still recovering from my injuries and My PT & Critical Care Nurse both wanted me in a Wheelchair,..but I got a few of the Boys to get me a Pr. of Crutches!!!:cool:

Cape Town - The community controversially evicted and torn apart last week was on Thursday a step closer to being rebuilt.
On Monday and Tuesday last week, 234 shacks were demolished in Lwandle/Nomzamo after the sheriff of the court carried out an interdict obtained by land owner Sanral.
The scenes of desperation sparked a national uproar and on Wednesday mayor Patricia de Lille and national Human Settlements Minister Lindiwe Sisulu agreed to intervene.
On Thursday, the Ses'Khona People's Rights Movement and the councillors for wards 85 and 86 met to thrash out the finer details of the agreement.
Late on Thursday, they announced they had agreed "that Sanral must take responsibility for rebuilding 849 structures and at the size of 6m by 3m".
The parties also agreed the city would provide 45 chemical toilets, which would be replaced by full flush toilets within two months, on the periphery of the Sanral-owned land, on a strip of road reserve owned by the city.
"The city will also provide water standpipes and the Housing Development Agency will consult with Eskom regarding the provision of electricity," the joint statement read.
They further agreed, in the form of a written undertaking by De Lille, that the city would ensure "that those who were recently evicted from Sanral land as well as all the families from the road reserve will receive their individual serviced sites (water, sanitation and electricity) to be included in the broader development plan of the Macassar precinct".
The first sites will be ready for occupation by November next year.
Meanwhile, contractors began clearing the Lwandle site on Thursday. It is littered with rubbish, debris from inside the broken-down houses, and mangled building materials.
Scores of people could have been picking between the heaps to salvage what they could – planks, chipboard, carpets, mats. But most people canvassed by the Cape Argus said they would await the expected arrival of "emergency housing starter kits", which usually comprise poles, galvanised corrugated steel roof sheets, a door with a lockset or padlock, and a window.
However, Ses'Khona declined the city's offer of these, and has demanded that Sanral provide different kits for bigger units – paid for by Sanral.
First the site will be cleared, cleaned and marked out. A councillor on-site on Thursday said provision would be made for access for emergency vehicles such as fire trucks.
Sources said on Thursday night the progress was now entirely in Sanral's hands, as demanded by Ses'Khona.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/5/2013 (1553 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
He's feeling quite a bit better and thanks for asking, Winnipeg Jets prospect Mark Scheifele said Wednesday.
The 20-year-old first-round 2011 draft pick was hit late and into the boards in Game 6 of the Ontario Hockey League final and suffered a concussion, leaving him unable to play for his Barrie Colts in Game 7 of the championship series a week ago Monday.
Barrie lost Game 7 to London on a last-second, video-reviewed goal.
"It kind of sucked not to play the last game, the worst feeling ever," Scheifele told the Free Press.
"I tried (to be ready for Game 7). I just didn't feel anywhere close to right. Getting this down time has helped my head a little bit more."
He said he watched the painful final game from home.
"That was hard to take," he said. "One of the most heart-breaking things, that to happen to the boys and not being there or able to help, that was pretty brutal.
"I'm feeling a lot better now. I've pretty much taken all those days off, doing completely nothing, just relaxing. I'll probably start a little more activity as the days come now and see how I feel from that."
Scheifele's life has been nothing short of a whirlwind since he was drafted in June 2011 by the Jets.
"I haven't had a lot of down time in probably around a year now," he said. "It's been pretty busy. When you get the off time, you take advantage of it, take it easy."
Scheifele, who led the OHL playoffs with 15 goals and 41 points in 21 games, raved Wednesday about the three seasons he spent under Colts coach Dale Hawerchuk, the former Jets star.
"He's pretty much helped me with every aspect of hockey," said Scheifele, who joined the Colts in Hawerchuk's rookie season as coach, when they won just 15 out of 68 games. The Colts won 84 regular-season games in the ensuing two seasons.
"He's taught me so much. Being a centreman, learning from him, he's taught me about staying calm in the defensive zone, not rushing up the ice, even taught me things like how to be more deceptive with your shooting.
"I remember so many things even from the first few weeks of being coached by him. I remember exactly all the things he's taught me. He's been the biggest mentor I've ever had. I can't say thanks enough to him."
While Scheifele has been relaxing and recovering, he admitted his thoughts have turned already to some off-season training.
"I'm supposed to be keeping my mind off training right now with the last week off," Scheifele said. "But I think I'm going to change a few things. I've been talking to my agent about it, talking to Winnipeg a bit, and (former NHLer) Gary Roberts is coming up a lot and I'm really hoping I'll get the opportunity to train with him."
Details are yet to be finalized, Scheifele said.
"That's the thing I'm leaning towards right now," he added. "I think it would be a great opportunity for me. I've heard only good things and I know some of my friends work out there."
Some other unanswered questions have been lingering since the Jets concluded their regular season on April 25.
Among them:
Q: GM Kevin Cheveldayoff has a lot of free agents to deal with and make decisions on this off-season, nine UFA's, nine RFA's and several other system players and prospects. Any news yet?
A: Pretty much zero. The GM and his staff do have a lot of players in play in a unique summer -- the salary cap's declining and many new CBA rules are in play. There is much to contemplate and understand and the team's hockey department has been busy in many regards tending to that business.
Q: What's Cheveldayoff saying about a report that RFA Alex Burmistrov wants to be traded or doesn't want to re-sign?
A: "We have a lot of decisions to be made," he told the Free Press late Wednesday. "To try to comment individually on each and every one of them, regardless of whatever circumstances are being painted, it's just counter-productive for me to do that."
Q: What about some of the hobbled players at the end of the season? Did Evander Kane or Mark Stuart or Toby Enstrom need any surgery?
A: Kane, who had a wrist problem and also nerve damage in his lower leg and foot, will not need surgery and is using the off-season for treatment and rest. Enstrom's pain from back trouble required treatment rest alone. Mark Stuart, who played with a sports hernia late in the season, does not require surgery. Zach Bogosian, who missed the final three games with a concussion after taking a blow to the head, is doing fine and time, rest and rehab are the prescription for Olli Jokinen, who suffered a high-ankle sprain late in the season.
Q: What did the Jets brass focus on at the world championship?
A: GM Kevin Cheveldayoff and assistant GM Craig Heisinger spent no time watching team captain Andrew Ladd with Team Canada or goalie Ondrej Pavelec with the Czech Republic. Instead, they were keenly interested in 2012 first-round pick Jacob Trouba with Team U.S.A. in games in Helsinki. "We saw him play in a lot of different situations with eight defencemen in the lineup any given night. Jacob played on the first power play in all the games that we watched. He was given a lot of responsibility in that regard. He has a very good slapshot. The team was looking for some chemistry in some areas and found it. I think their power play was pretty good and from that standpoint, it was pretty good to see Jacob be a part of it. Not having played for an extended period of time or ever at the men's level, I think there was a good transition period for him. It looked like he was more comfortable every time he played. He's had a wonderful opporrtunity given to him and he took full advantage of it."
It's safe to say the Jets are feeling better by the day for having signed the 19-year-old in April.
Q: Is there anything new about the Jets for the NHL entry draft in late June?
A: Status quo, which is that the team has six picks in the first three rounds (their own first, three seconds, two thirds) and 10 picks overall as of today. Winnipeg picks 13th in the first round. The abundance of picks gives Cheveldayoff some options if he's in the mood for transactions but the GM said it's a bit too early to be talking about possible deals or shopping. The team's brass had extensive sessions for five days last week with its amateur scouts.
Q: At the end of the season, the GM wasn't very definitive about coach Claude Noel, who's got one year left on his contract. Any updates?
A: None. Noel apparently took some down time at season's end, while Cheveldayoff has been in Europe and in Saskatoon at the Memorial Cup, so no in-depth discussions have taken place yet. There has been speculation but a coaching change at this point seems less likely.

I boght this guitar mostly for Indie rock as well as punk and blues. I've tried playing numerous other styles with it and I found only two that it doesn't do wel in Metal(the pickups generate too much noise and have too much midrange) and Jazz (pickups are overly twangy) but when your buying a Gretsch your buying it for that Gretsch sound which is one of a kind. The bridge pickup has plenty of twang for country afficianados and I found that the neck pickup has plenty of meat for most rock playing. The magic setting though is right in the middle where you get the best of both worlds. I put this in to the crunch channel of my Bugera and was amazed. Normally with my SG I hate that channel but this guitar makes it rock
Overall Impression — 9
I'm in love with this guitar I'll be honest I get a joy playing it. Its unique it plays great I've had no real trouble with it if it were stolen I would hunt down and destroy whoever the hell took it then buy another anyway. In all seriousness though this is a great guitar for any one to have in their aresenal.
Reliability & Durability — 8
I haven't had this guitar too long just under a year but beyond the initial needing for the bigsby to be resecured I've had no problems with it. The strap locks on this are very solid although with the bigsby I wouldn't reccomend doing anything crazy with it. I've had no problems with the finish. Also the tuners despite being non locking stay in tune very well despite the bigsby. Its only when I do extreme bar dives that I get any trouble. I always gig with a back up guitar in case of string breaks but I wouldn't be at all nervous playing with just this.
Action, Fit & Finish — 7
I got this guitar set up almost as soon as I got it but according to the tech who did it he barely had to do anything. The ony problem was that the bigsby needed to be re secured and that the pickguard doesn't quite fit. I'm going to chalk these up as flukes though. One thing I must mention in this section though is how comfortable this guitar is its incredibly light and is contoured so that it fitts very nicely to my body where I have it adjusted.

U.S. Readers Snap Up 383,000 Copies of Steve Jobs Bio
Readers were eager to get the back story on Steve Jobs's rise to fame, snapping up more than a quarter of a million copies of his biography in the U.S. alone during its first week in stores.
According to Nielsen BookScan, Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs sold 383,000 copies between October 24 and October 30.
As reported by the Guardian, the book sold 37,000 copies in the U.K., according to Nielsen data.
The Jobs bio is still the best-selling book on Amazon, a position it has held for several weeks. It dropped to number three on Barnes & Noble.
For comparison, the final installment in Steig Larsson's wildly popular Millennium series, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest, apparently sold about 425,000 copies in its first week last year. That, of course, is nothing compared to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the last in the series, which sold 8.3 million copies in the U.S. in its first 24 hours.
The Jobs bio was originally supposed to be released on November 21, but publisher Simon & Schuster pushed up the date after Jobs's death on October 5. In the days before its release, multiple excerpts made their way to the Web, and Isaacson appeared on 60 Minutes to discuss the 40 interviews he conducted with Jobs. Not surprisingly, chatter about the bio dominated Twitter last week among the tech set.

Johannesburg -
Economic Freedom Fighters supporters started arriving at Thokoza Park, in Soweto on Saturday to celebrate the party's first year anniversary.
The park was a sea of red with supporters donning the party's famous red berets and T-shirts.
The T-shirts were handed out to supporters as they entered the park. They were also given a CD and a tray of meat consisting of boerewors, chicken and a steak.
Security at the entrance to the event was tight as personnel searched everyone entering the premises.
Just after 2pm the queues to enter the park were still long.
EFF leader Julius Malema is expected to give a keynote address later in the day.
Supporters already inside Thokoza Park were entertained by local artists such as Kelly Khumalo.
Locals had set up stalls along the roads around the park selling food and beverages. - Sapa

An email at the centre of the OzCar affair engulfing both sides of Australian politics is a forgery, federal police have confirmed.
The issue dominated federal parliament - which is due to break for six weeks on Thursday - for nearly five hours, pushing issues like climate change off the agenda.
While politicians were hotly debating the matter, Australian Federal Police (AFP) were interviewing and searching the southern Canberra home of Treasury official Godwin Grech.
Mr Grech lit the flame under the issue on Friday when he told a Senate inquiry it was his recollection Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's office had first raised with him the plight of Queensland car dealer John Grant, who was seeking financial assistance through the taxpayer-funded OzCar scheme.
Mr Rudd had denied in parliament that his office intervened on behalf of Mr Grant, a neighbour of the PM who had donated a ute to him for electorate use.
The opposition has pushed the issue based on allegations of an email to Mr Grech purported to be from Andrew Charlton, a senior economic adviser to the prime minister.
In a statement on Monday, the AFP confirmed the email was a fake but gave no indication as to its origin or who may be behind it.
"Preliminary results of those forensic examinations indicate that the email referred to at the centre of this investigation has been created by a person or persons other than the purported author of the email," it said.
The Rudd government called in the AFP on Saturday after asking the auditor-general to investigate on Friday.
Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull wants a judicial inquiry but the government is ignoring his demands.
While Mr Grech's evidence at first seemed damaging to Mr Rudd, it is now creating more problems for Mr Turnbull, who Labor claims is deeply entangled in the dissemination of the fake email.
After more than three hours of rancorous debate, the government used its numbers in the parliament to censure Mr Turnbull and called for his resignation.
"What we have here is a leader of the opposition who is simply hanging in the breeze," Mr Rudd told parliament.
"The leader of the opposition has his fingerprints all over the promotion of this fake email and he knows it."
As the day progressed there were questions about whether police wanted to talk to a former Turnbull staffer about the fake email.
The Punch website reported on Monday afternoon that it believed the AFP were seeking to interview former Turnbull staffer Paul Lindwall over his links to the email.
Mr Lindwall has denied any involvement with the fake email.
"I don't know anything about the email, I can tell you that," he told the Herald Sun website.
The government used question time to further challenge Mr Turnbull's integrity, repeatedly raising his involvement in the HIH affair during his time at Goldman Sachs.
For its part, the opposition was setting its sights on Treasurer Wayne Swan, who it claims misled parliament over claims the government gave special treatment to Mr Grant.
"Here we have a treasurer who has used his considerable influence to get a favour for a mate," Mr Turnbull told parliament.
Mr Turnbull accused the government of using the email as a distraction to take the heat off Mr Swan.
"Talk about it as much as you like," he said.
"But you cannot escape the fact that presiding over the finances of the Commonwealth of Australia is a treasurer who has lied to this house.
"He said (Mr Grant) was treated like everybody else ... there was nobody who was treated like this. The only person who got that treatment was a crony and a benefactor of the prime minister."

Finally i got lice and egg removed from my hair. Happy to see for sometime along.
I have used this product and many others. Each time I go to buy it the price has gone up, because once you have used it you want to keep it around in case you need it again.
My grandchildren kept getting infested with head lice over and over again because the 3 step Rid was not killing all the nits and their hair is curly and was difficult to get all the live nits. I found this spray at Walmart and tried it. It instantly killed all the nits and lice and they have been lice free every since. I am buying this as a precaution and easy remedy just in case lice goes through the school again. It is so easy.

Director K Madesha's latest Kannada film Hudugru had created lot of curiosity among the movie buffs before its release. But the movie, which has released yesterday (May 05), does not disappoint them. It successfully holds the attention of the viewers with its sound technical elements, interesting script and gripping narration. It is also a good treat for Puneet fans for this weekend.
Hudugru is a romantic comedy and Puneet, Kitty, Yogish and Radhika's energetic performances are the major highlights of the film. V Harikrishna's music, Sathya Hegde's cinematography, Raghu-Sadhu's comedy are other highlights of the movie. Three youths, who have their own goals to achieve, sacrifice their life to unite two stupid lovers, which looks utterly silly disappointing.
Hudugru is a remake of hit Tamil movie Naadodigal and director K Madesha has remained very honest to the original. The plot focuses on three friends, who attempt to unite the lovers at the cost of their own love life and goals. Although the story of the film needs a dragging narration, the director has used commercial elements like comedy and good music, which do not allow the viewers to loose their interests. Madesha runs the first half with a gripping narration. In the second half, the narration drags a bit, but the interesting story makes sure that they do not leave their seats.
Prabhu (Puneeth Rajakumar), Chandru (Srinagar Kitty) and Siddesh (Yogish) are three friends, who are yearning to achieve their goals and marry their lovers. Meanwhile, Prabhu"s friend Sudhir (Vishal Hegde) approaches him seeking help to reunite him with his lover Sushma (Ramya Barna). The three youths, who consider friendship above all relationships, come forward to help Sudhir. But Sudhir's mother (Vanitha Vasu) and Sushma's father (Avinash) are influential politicians, who land them in trouble. How they unite Sushma and Sudhir will form the climax of the movie.
Although Puneet Rajkumar has large scope in the movie, this is not an usual role for him. The movie throws him totally to a different challenge and he has lived up to it. He impresses the viewers in dialogue delivery and emotion and romantic sequences. Radhika Pandit, Srinagar Kitty and Yogish have also delivered excellent performances. Sadhu Kokila and Rangayana Raghu's comedy timing is quite enjoyable. Abhinaya, Krishna Adiga, Avinash, Vanitha Vasu, Sudha Belawadi and Srinivasaprabhu have also done justice to their respective roles.
Besides wonderful performances by lead actors, the rich production values are the other attractions of the film. V Harikrishna has composed wonderful music for four songs and he has lifted the tunes of one song from original. Peppy song 'Naa Boardu Irada Bassanu...', melody tracks 'En Chandane Hudugi…' and 'Neeralli Sanna…' are really good. As usual, Satya Hegde's camera is dynamic and bright throughout the film. Guruprasad's dialogues are catchy and editing is also good.
Overall, Hudugru shows that friendship is above all relationships. But today's youth are completely practical and they may find it difficult to accept the story, which is far from practical and real life. However, the movie has lots of entertainer values and despite being a remake, it sustains the interest of the viewers throughout the movie. Don't miss to watch it this weekend.
Producer: Smt Parvathamma Rajakumar
Director: K Madesha
Cast: Puneet Rajkumar, Srinagar Kitty, Yogish, Radhika Pandit, Abhinaya, Rangayana Raghu, Sadhu Kokila, Tabala Nani, Vishal Hegde, Vanitha Vasu and Srinivasa Prabhu
Music: V Harikrishna

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "Mad Money" Research Director Nicole Urken sat down with TheStreet's Jim Cramer to talk about master limited partnerships.With the recent run in stocks, many investors are left wondering where to put their money to work. Bonds won't work, according to Cramer -- even municipal bonds, because they don't yield enough and can't keep pace with inflation. Cramer said investors need to own REITs, utilities (for growth) and some MLPs, noting, you "only need to get rich once." Urken added that some of their favorite MLPs include Enterprise Products Partners ( EPD) and Kinder Morgan Energy Partners ( KMP). Urken noted that in all MLPs you want to look for three things, and specifically Kinder Morgan and Enterprise Products offer them: strong management, a continually growing yield and the least exposure to commodities. Cramer added that companies such as General Mills ( GIS) and Campbell Soup Company ( CPB) are quality companies with healthy dividends, but lack a favorable yield after the run in stocks this year. Urken concluded that MLPs are "just right for this environment."

Behold Your New Religion, America: Chrislam Spreads Throughout The United States
Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.
This weekend, the Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church in Houston along with Christian communities in Atlanta, Seattle, and Detroit will initiate a series of sermons that have been designed to produce an ecumenical reconciliation between Christianity and Islam.
In addition to the sermons, the Sunday school lessons will center on the inspired teachings of the Prophet Mohammad.
Qurans will be placed in the pews next to the Bibles.
The concept of Chrislam, now embraced by such preachers as Rick Warren and Robert Schuller, appears to have emerged from a program on the meaning of "love your neighbor" at Grace Fellowship Church in Atlanta, Georgia
"In 2001, like most Americans, we were pretty awakened to the true Islamic presence in the world and in the United States," says Jon Stallsmith, the outreach minister at Grace Fellowship. "Jesus says we should love our neighbors. We can't do that without having a relationship with them."
Stallsmith maintains that a rapprochement between Muslims and Christians can be achieved by the fact that Jesus is mentioned twenty-five times in the Quran.
The Chrislam movement has gained impetus by statements from President George W. Bush and that Christians, Jews, and Muslims all worship the same God and by Rick Warren's reference to Isa (the Muslim name for Jesus) in his prayer at the inauguration of President Barack Obama.
Only 30 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Muslims, according to a Pew Forum poll. At the same time, more than half the country says they know "not very much" or "nothing at all" about the Islamic faith.

Report: Motorola Orders 800K Xoom Tablets For Q1
Motorola has ordered 700,000 to 800,000 units of its upcoming Xoom tablet, in four colors, for the first quarter of 2011, according to a DigiTimes report.
Quoting sources from "upstream component makers," the Taiwanese newspaper said orders could go up to one million in the first quarter.
Furthermore, component manufacturers include "Taiwan-based notebook chassis makers such as Catcher Technology and Foxconn Technology, handset chassis makers including Taiwan Chi Cheng and Silitech Technology," the article reports.
In comparison, analysts said the Apple iPad sold between 600,000-700,000 on the first day.
PCMag analyst Tim Gideon said the Motorola Xoom is "perhaps, the first tablet truly armed to take on the mighty iPad."
Spotted at the Consumer Electronics Show last week, the 10.1-inch Motorola Xoom is the first tablet to run on Google's only tablet-optimized operating system, Google Android 3.0 (Honeycomb). It includes a 2-GHz dual-core processor. The Xoom will launch on Verizon in early 2011, but pricing and launch date are still unknown.
For more details, see PCMag's hands on with the Motorola Xoom and the slideshow below.

Reviews for Broccoli Chicken Skillet
Average Rating
"This was easy to make. It tasted good but I prefer a little more taste so I added some extra black pepper."
"this was very good, but it is so similar to chicken stir-fry that I think I will stay with that."
"A good weeknight recipe. It was fast and easy, and it provides the vegetables we all need, but nothing spectacular. I will make again when time is running low during the week."
"At first I was not excited about the combination of stuffing, raisins and carrots. BUT it's SO good! I make this for my family atleast twice a month. Cleanup is awesome since it's just in one pan."
"I added rice to this recipe which made it extra filling to go along way"
"I used chicken broth instead of milk and added 2 cloves of chopped garlic for the flavor boost others had mentioned."
"I liked the flavor, but feel it needed a little boost. I did not add the raisins. Next time I would not use the stuffing mix either, as it was too mushy. I would add pasta or potatoes instead and make it more hearty as well as a little more seasoning to pump up the flavor."
"this was very easy and good i will make it again i added a small can of fried onions on top just before i took it out of the oven"
"Very tasty! My kids liked it too!"
"Very easy meal to prepare even for a man. Needs a little something to punch up flavor but still a great recipe."

It Worked! Enough of you Downloaded the MOH Beta so Linkin Park Have Released "Castle Of Glass" [VIDEO]
It took 3 million of you to download the "Medal Of Honer: Warfighter" beta for Linkin Park to release the video for "Castle Of Glass". And apparently you did it, because here's the video!
Man! This video sucks! Not in the way that the song is bad, or the video itself is bad. But it really puts a human face on the sacrifice that so many soldiers have made. Namely the families they have left behind, especially the kids. It can be a little heart-wrenching.

Hinckley Institute of Politics names new communications director
The Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah has tapped veteran journalist Jennifer Napier-Pearce to become its new associate director of communications.
Napier-Pearce's broad experience in print, radio and online media will strengthen the Hinckley's mission of promoting political involvement, civil discourse and valued political analysis, said Hinckley Institute director Jason Perry.
"Jennifer's fresh perspective, energy and respected reputation will amplify the Hinckley Institute story in new ways," Perry said. "I'm delighted to have her on board as we build on the institute's rock-solid history as a leader in education, politics and community dialogue."
The Hinckley Institute of Politics was established in 1965 through the generous bequest of the Noble Foundation and Robert H. Hinckley. For more than 50 years, the Hinckley has remained committed to providing unique educational opportunities to students and the broader community, hosting a record-setting 116 political forums in the past year, including prominent figures such as broadcast journalist Ted Koppel and best-selling author Michael Lewis. The institute has received international recognition for its transformative opportunities — including a global internship program that operates in 58 nations. Hinckley Institute students rival their Ivy League peers in securing top graduate school placements and national scholarships; they are credited with helping the U to become one of the top-producers of Truman Scholars in the nation.
The Hinckley Institute holds several signature events each year including the Sam Rich Lecture Series, the Siciliano Forum Series, the Outstanding Professor Lecture Series, the Huntsman Seminar, HIP Talks and the Wayne Owens Fund programming. The institute's momentum will further accelerate in coming years, as construction on a new Orson Spencer Hall — which will result in a new home for the Hinckley Institute — gets underway in the coming weeks.
"I'm absolutely thrilled to join the Hinckley team," Napier-Pearce said. "I cherish the experience I gained as a Hinckley intern, and as a journalist, I valued the Hinckley as a trusted source for all things political. It's a tremendous honor to align with this prestigious institution."
Since January 2013, Napier-Pearce has been a multimedia reporter for The Salt Lake Tribune, hosting the award-winning video program, "Trib Talk," on sltrib.com and the weekly radio news show, "Behind the Headlines," on KCPW and Utah Public Radio. She's also been news director, anchor, host and reporter for both KUER 90.1 FM and KCPW 88.3/105.5 FM, earning numerous top awards from the Utah Headliners Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, Utah Broadcasters Association and the national Public Radio News Directors Incorporated (PRNDI). A former adjunct professor at the University of Utah and frequent host of community events, Napier-Pearce has a bachelor's degree from the University of Utah and a master's degree from Stanford University.
Napier-Pearce's employment begins June 1.

Hinckley & Gardner Policy Institute help Utah voters make informed decisions in 2016
The Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute and Hinckley Institute of Politics will produce a series of 2016 election products that will help Utah voters make informed decisions. Called "Informed Decisions 2016," the collaboration will identify the most important issues on voters' minds, analyze these issues, and host candidate conversations to engage and inform the public. The University of Utah institutes will deliver a series of "Election Briefs" and "Candidate Conversations" to be shared this fall.
"This year will be a banner election year in Utah with key races for governor, U.S. Senate, four congressional districts, and nearly 90 percent of the Utah Legislature," said Jason Perry, director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics. "By combining data-driven analysis with in-depth, personal conversations with candidates, the voting public will be well served."
As part of Informed Decisions 2016, the Gardner Policy Institute will host a series of focus groups to identify important issues affecting the state and probe participants about public policy options. These focus groups will include a random selection of Utahns, as well as business, community, non-profit and government leaders. A rural Utah focus group will also be conducted in collaboration with the Center for Rural Life at Southern Utah University.
"Our intent is to engage the public and learn what's on their minds," said Natalie Gochnour, director of the Gardner Policy Institute. "We will then ask candidates about their approaches to the most important issues of our day – education, tax policy, infrastructure investment and other vital issues impacting Utah."
Informed Decisions 2016 will include several Election Briefs that explain why an issue is important, what was learned from the focus groups, what the data teaches us about the issue, and what are the policy options for consideration.
The Candidate Conversations will be hosted at the iconic and newly restored Wall Mansion on South Temple Street. Plans call for these discussions to be hosted "town hall style" similar to the widely popular CNN Town Hall format hosted by Anderson Cooper. These fall conversations will be facilitated by Jason Perry and open to the media.
"Elections are about the future and the ideas that will propel our state forward," said Perry. "We're excited to combine the energies and talent of both the Hinckley Institute and Gardner Policy Institute to engage the public, analyze issues, convene candidates, and ultimately, help the public make informed decisions.

Mitt Romney to speak at the U on the state of the 2016 Presidential Race
Former governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney will address students at a March 3 forum sponsored by the Hinckley Institute of Politics on the state of the 2016 presidential race.
The forum will be held at 9:30 a.m. in the Edgar J. Thompson Music Hall at the David Gardner Hall Building, 1375 Presidents Circle.
The event is part of the Hinckley Institute's well-known series of political forums, designed to foster discussion and critical thinking about political issues of the day.
Romney, a two-time presidential candidate and businessman, will provide U students with a unique learning opportunity during a particularly interesting election season, said Jason Perry, director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics and vice president for government relations at the University of Utah.
"As the 2016 election year unfolds, our students are being offered an opportunity to hear from someone with a long history of public service and political experience," said Perry.
Limited seating will be available at Gardner Hall, and students are advised to arrive early. Media will need to be credentialed to gain access to the event.
The campus community is advised that parking in the area may be scarce due to increased traffic around Presidents Circle around the time of the event. Use of public transportation is encouraged.
About The Hinckley Institute of Politics
The Hinckley Institute of Politics was established in 1965 through donations from the Noble Foundation and Robert H. Hinckley. The institute observed its 50th anniversary last May and hosted a record-setting 116 political forums last year, including well-known names such as broadcaster Ted Koppel and author Michael Lewis. The institute has become known around the world for its unique programs and scholarships, including an international internship program that operates in 58 countries. Students who've participated in Hinckley programs are credited with helping the U to become one of the top-producing institutions of Truman Scholars in the nation.
The institute sponsors several signature events every year, including the Sam Rich Lecture Series, the Siciliano Forum Series, the Outstanding Professor Lecture Series, HIP Talks and the Wayne Owens Fund programming. The institute's momentum will only continue forward in coming years, as construction on a new Orson Spencer Hall — which will result in a new home for the Hinckley Institute — gets underway later this year.

Jason Perry named director of U'S Hinckley Institute of Politics
The University of Utah today named Jason Perry the new director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics.
In addition to becoming the venerable institute's fifth director, Perry will continue to serve as the University of Utah's vice president for government relations.
University of Utah President David W. Pershing emphasized that the dual role will be a natural fit, as Perry's work in government relations will allow him to foster new learning opportunities for Hinckley Institute students.
Perry became interim director of the Hinckley Institute in June 2015 following the departure of Kirk Jowers, who left his decade-long leadership post at the institute to pursue a career in private industry.
"Jason's extensive background in politics and his wealth of knowledge will complement the Hinckley Institute of Politics' mission to promote political and civic involvement and to engage university students in the political process," said Pershing. "At the helm of the institute — an institution with a vast and storied history — Jason's experience and leadership will help the Hinckley Institute build on past successes while finding new opportunities to advance programming for students and the community at-large."
The Hinckley Institute of Politics was established in 1965 through the generous bequest of the Noble Foundation and Robert H. Hinckley. The institute observed its 50th anniversary in May 2015 and hosted a record-setting 116 political forums in the past year, including prominent figures such as broadcast journalist Ted Koppel and best-selling author Michael Lewis. The institute has received international recognition for its transformative opportunities — including a global internship program that operates in 58 nations. Hinckley Institute students rival their Ivy League peers in securing top graduate school placements and national scholarships; they are credited with helping the U to become one of the top-producers of Truman Scholars in the nation.
The Hinckley Institute holds several signature events each year including the Sam Rich Lecture Series, the Siciliano Forum Series, the Outstanding Professor Lecture Series, the Huntsman Seminar, HIP Talks and the Wayne Owens Fund programming. The institute's momentum will further accelerate in coming years, as construction on a new Orson Spencer Hall — which will result in a new home for the Hinckley Institute — gets underway later this spring.
"The Hinckley Institute has provided opportunities for students at the University of Utah for more than 50 years. To continue this important work, the institute needs a director who can oversee its programs at the state, national and international levels and provide a vibrant forum for students on campus. Jason Perry is eminently qualified to be the director. He has my full support and I know he will be a great asset to the university and the community as well," said Hinckley Chairman Jim Hinckley.
Perry became vice president for government relations at the U in 2011 and is also an adjunct professor at the U's S.J. Quinney College of Law. Prior to his arrival at the U, Perry served as the chief of staff to Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert, where he helped guide a successful transition team and a landslide victory for the governor in the November 2010 election.
"For anyone involved in Utah politics, whether as a participant, observer, scholar or student, the Hinckley Institute of Politics is the go-to institution for information, analysis and context," said Perry. "I've always admired the work of the Hinckley Institute, and I've looked up to previous directors as leaders in such an important area of our lives. Politics matters. The activities of our elected officials and the work of government bodies impacts all Utahns, and I'm honored to be in a position to continue to ensure the next generation of citizens is engaged and informed."
Perry has also served as executive director of the Governor's Office of Economic Development, a cabinet-level position. Appointed in 2006 by former Utah Gov. Jon M. Huntsman, Perry oversaw the Business Development Office, the Utah Office of Tourism and the Utah Film Commission. He was instrumental in the recruitment and expansion of companies to Utah such as Amer Sports, Procter & Gamble Co., Disney Interactive Studios, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and the Hershey Co. He also helped secure filming the series of "High School Musical" films in Utah. During Perry's time at the helm of GOED, Utah saw national accolades recognizing the state as one of the "Most Business Friendly States," "Most Dynamic Economy" and "Best Managed State."

U Welcomes bestselling author Michael Lewis for 2015 Sam Rich Lecture
May 12, 2015
Michael Lewis left life as a bond salesman for famed Wall Street investment bank Salomon Brothers for the publishing world in the 1980s, a move that would shake up the landscape of financial journalism forever.
Lewis, today one of the premier writers of the 21st Century, will visit Utah on Sept. 24 for a one-hour event at Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City. The event, "A Conversation with Michael Lewis" starts at 8 p.m., and is part of the University of Utah Hinckley Institute of Politics' Sam Rich Lecture Series. Tickets are available for purchase through ArtTix. For University of Utah faculty and students, $5 tickets are available for purchase this week by visiting room 234 of the union or by stopping by ticket tables at the David Eccles School of Business.
Lewis' first published book in 1989, "Liar's Poker," is a personal account of the culture of bond traders and also a history of the rise of Salomon Brothers, which created the market for mortgage bonds in the 1980s.
He went on to publish other bestsellers, including "Moneyball" in 2003, which told the story of the Oakland Athletics baseball team and its general manager Billy Beane, who used sabermetrics to assemble a winning team, despite a lack of money to attract top-tier players.
Another one of Lewis' notable works is "The Big Short," published in 2010, chronicles the housing and credit bubble and shows how some of the top names in the financial business profited by the financial crisis from 2007 to 2010. A film version of the book starring Christian Bale, Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, and Steve Carrell is set to debut in December.
His resume includes several more well-known titles, including "Boomerang" in 2011 and "The Blind Side" in 2007, the story of Michael Oher, an impoverished teen who was adopted by a classmate and rose to become one of the hottest recruits in college football. The book became an Academy Award-winning film starring Sandra Bullock.
Lewis is also a frequent contributor to the New Republic, New York Times Magazine, Slate, Vanity Fair and Bloomberg.
Lewis spoke to the U about his upcoming trip to Utah —and some of the themes that might come up during the event at Abravanel Hall.
Q: University of Utah students will surely recognize your name as an author. But many might not realize that you got your start as a bond salesman. What made you want to trade in finance for a career in writing?
A: I'd gone into finance with a desire for a career not in finance, but in writing, so it wasn't all that difficult. My problem was that I didn't really have anything much to write about: finance provided me with my first material.
Q: Your latest book, "Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt" has caused some controversy, in your suggestion that the marketplace is rigged by high-frequency trading in the forms of front running, market manipulation and insider trading. The FBI announced an investigation into these issues the day after your book release, while Securities and Exchange Commission chairwoman Mary Jo White stated in congress in 2014 that markets "are not rigged" after she was questioned about your book. As a journalist, what's it like to see your work evoking important public conversations and potential policy changes to improve the public good?
A: It's actually a little disturbing to me when anything I write creates a noise in public because the process of writing the book feels so private. When I'm working on it I don't imagine public conversations about it. At most I imagine some reader taking pleasure in it. It's nice to think that a piece of writing might move the world in some good direction. But I've learned the mere fact that it creates a noise doesn't mean that it will have any effect at all, let alone the effect the writer might have wished for.
Q: You've watched Hollywood A-listers bring your books to life on the big screen. From Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill in "Moneyball" to Christian Bale and Ryan Gosling, who are scheduled to appear in "The Big Short" in 2016, your work has now transcended from the bookshelves to film. What's it like for you to see your work on screen? Are you able to play a role in helping to ensure the films maintain the vision you had for the books when you wrote them?
A: A total delight, but I have nothing to do with the movies. A movie is so different from a book—it's more like a short story. If an adaptation is going to be any good, the writer and director will need to break the book and re-make it. Suspecting I would be no good at breaking something I've made, I stay out of the process altogether.
Q: You'll be spending a full day in Utah in September. Have you visited the University of Utah campus before? What's on deck for your visit in addition to your speaking engagement?
A: I have not. Is the woman's softball team any good? If so, I want to meet the coach, and solicit instructional tips. (I have daughters I coach.)
The Hinckley Institute of Politics celebrates 50 years of excellence
SALT LAKE CITY — Prominent state, national and global leaders will join with students and alumni Wednesday evening to celebrate the Hinckley Institute of Politics' 50th anniversary.
For five decades, the Hinckley Institute has championed student and community civic engagement. The last ten years have been marked by explosive growth—particularly on a global level. The Hinckley Institute now sends student interns to 212 local, national and global host offices spanning 61 countries.
The Hinckley Institute was established in 1965 through the generous bequest of Robert H. Hinckley and was one of the first of its kind in the nation. Since its founding, the Hinckley Institute has provided affordable internships to over 6,000 students.
In regards to the legacy, Hinckley Institute Director Kirk Jowers states, "The Hinckley Institute has played a pivotal role for strengthening Utah politics, government and policies since its creation. It has also become increasingly important to our nation and world over the past decade as University of Utah students continue to expand their presence."
Each year, the Hinckley Institute additionally holds more than100 acclaimed public forums featuring local, national and global figures. Past Hinckley Forum guests include Bill Clinton, Mitt Romney, Malcolm Gladwell, Thomas Friedman, Brent Scowcroft, Susan Rice and John McCain.
A significant number of local and national leaders are former Hinckley Institute students including Karl Rove, U.S. Congressman Rob Bishop, former State Senator Pat Jones and Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams.
In recognition of the Hinckley Institute's global trajectory, the 50th gala will feature remarks by esteemed journalist and filmmaker Maziar Bahari. Bahari was imprisoned in Tehran for 118 days while covering the 2009 Iranian election for Newsweek. He was arrested for alleged espionage four days after his satirical appearance on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show. Bahari's memoir of his solitary confinement, Rosewater, was a New York Times' bestseller and was recently adapted into a film directed by Jon Stewart.
When: Wednesday, May 13, 6:30 PM
Where: Rice Eccles Stadium
**The 50th Anniversary Gala is open to the media. Dinner will be provided.**

'Most quoted man in Utah' to leave the U
Kirk Jowers, a well-known professor of political science who has been dubbed the "most quoted man in Utah" during a decade-long tenure as director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics, is leaving his post to pursue a career in private industry.
Jowers has ushered the Hinckley Institute through a time of great change and elevated the program to a level of national prestige during his leadership role at the institute.
"It has been an absolute joy to serve as the director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics for the past 10 years," said Jowers. "My most enduring memories will be of the incredible people involved with this great institute: First and foremost, the thousands of students who have served our internships, attended our classes and participated in our programs; second, the Hinckley family, which includes not only Jim and Lyn Hinckley, but also my Hinckley colleagues and many Hinckley supporters who are devoted to student empowerment, civic engagement, public service and intellectual fulfillment and finally, the hundreds of speakers who have so generously given of their time to share their expertise, passion and good will."
"Needless to say, I have never been bored during these happy years at the U," he added.
Jason Perry, vice president for government relations at the university, will serve as interim director of the Hinckley Institute following Jowers' departure June 30, while also maintaining his current role in government relations.
Jowers leaves as the Hinckley Institute observes its 50th anniversary this May and hosted a record-setting 116 political forums during 2014. He helped to found many new programs and scholarships including an international internship program that operates in 58 countries. Other new initiatives that are now signature events at Hinckley include the Sam Rich Lecture Series, the Siciliano Forum Series, the Outstanding Professor Lecture Series, HIP Talks and the Wayne Owens Fund programming. His work paved the way for the current Orson Spencer Hall rebuilding project, which will result in a new home for the Hinckley Institute in coming years.
"Kirk has served the Hinckley Institute and our entire community with great distinction," said University of Utah President David W. Pershing.
Jowers is credited with strengthening existing Hinckley programs, increasing the number of students participating in Hinckley offerings and expanding opportunities to students from across all disciplines at the U. He has also represented the University of Utah in other capacities, including as director of federal relations, chief strategist for the Office of Global Engagement, co-interim director of the Middle East Center and on more than a dozen boards and search committees.
Among the accomplishments Jowers considers most significant about his time at Hinckley is building the U to become one of the top-producing institutions of Truman Scholars in the nation.
"We have proven that U alumni can compete with students anywhere as is demonstrated by the Hinckley Institute producing more consecutive Truman Scholars than any other U.S. program in the nation over the past eight years and our students routinely securing placement at the top graduate schools in the country," said Jowers.
Perry, who is no stranger to the political scene, said he's delighted to take on the role of interim director at Hinckley.
"The Hinckley Institute plays a vital role in fulfilling President Pershing's initiative to provide all undergraduate students with a signature experience during their tenure on our campus," said Perry. "Kirk has demonstrated tremendous leadership in this role and I am thrilled for the opportunity to join the team at Hinckley in this effort."
Perry became vice president for government relations at the U in 2011 and is also an adjunct professor at the U's S.J. Quinney College of Law.
Prior to his arrival at the U, Perry served as the chief of staff to Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert, where he helped guide a successful transition team and a landslide victory for the governor in the November 2010 election.
Perry has also served as executive director of the Governor's Office of Economic Development, a cabinet-level position. Appointed in 2006 by former Utah Gov. Jon M. Huntsman, Perry oversaw the Business Development Office, the Utah Office of Tourism and the Utah Film Commission. Perry was instrumental in the recruitment and expansion of companies to Utah such as Amer Sports, Procter & Gamble, Disney Interactive Studios, Goldman Sachs and Hershey. He also helped secure filming the series of "High School Musical" films in Utah. During Perry's time at the helm of GOED, Utah saw national accolades recognizing the state as one of the Most Business Friendly State, Most Dynamic Economy and Best Managed State.

The future of U.S and Latin American relations at center of 2015 Rocco C. and Marion S. Siciliano Forum
U.S. ties with Latin America have never been more critical. The U.S. now recognizes the region as one of its fastest-growing trade partners, a key ally in developing alternative fuels, as well as its largest source of immigrants—both documented and undocumented—and illegal drugs. Furthermore, as Latin America's global impact steadily increases, the United State's dominant influence in the region is waning. Latin American countries have not only grown more independent but are also forging closer ties with other global powers including China and India.
In recognition of this complex and changing landscape, the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah will present the 17th Annual Rocco C. and Marion S. Siciliano Forum, Considerations on the Status of the American Society. This year's theme is "The Future of U.S.-Latin American Relations."
The 10 day conference, which starts on Feb.23, will consist of 16 events including art exhibits and a documentary screening. The events are free and open to the public.

Plant and Animal Genome XV Conference, January 13-17, 2007, San Diego, CA. P667. p. 268. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: One hundred and twenty-three F3 lines derived from a cross between HA 441 and RHA 439 were used for the current study. Both parental lines showed partial tolerance to Sclerotinia head rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. A genetic map with 236 TRAP, 11 SSR, and 2 morphological markers was constructed in a F2 population with 123 individuals. This map has 18 linkage groups and spans 2328.3 cM. The F3 families (20-25 plants each) were planted in Carrington, ND, with a randomized complete block field design with two replications. At flowering stage each head was inoculated with a suspension containing 5000 ascospores per milliliter and kept under mist irrigation for three weeks to create an effective microenvironment for disease development. Five weeks after the inoculation, disease on individual heads was scored in a scale of 0 (no symptoms) through 5 (100% of head rotted). Disease tolerance was evaluated by disease incidence (DI) being calculated as the percentage of plants infected within a row and disease severity (DS) being measured by the mean disease score of the infected plants within each row. Although a positive correlation existed between the two indexes, the respective QTLs were located in different chromosomal regions, suggesting a different genetic basis for the two indexes. Six and nine QTLs were detected for DI and DS, respectively. These QTLs, each with LOD scores ranging from 2.1 to 18.1, were distributed in 11 of the 18 linkage groups.
