MBA Alumni Perspectives Survey
GMAC survey research Web page
The results are in, and it seems that the most recently graduated alumni have had a different postgraduation experience than their predecessors.
In March 2003, the Graduate Management Admission Council™ (GMAC™ ) surveyed 2,383 MBA alumni from the classes of 2000, 2001, and 2002 to find out how satisfied they are with their degree and how they feel about some of the choices and issues they have faced since graduation. The survey results showed some variations in responses that break down along graduation class lines. They also revealed discrepancies in the responses of alumni working in different industry groups.
Specifically, the survey asked questions on the following topics:
Results to the survey—including overall findings and breakdowns by graduating class and employing industry—are available online here.
Graduation Year Affects the Perceived Value of the MBA
More than half (55%) of the alumni surveyed rated the overall value of their MBA degree as outstanding or excellent. Twenty-nine percent rated it as good, and 16% gave the degree a rating of fair or poor. But when the value ratings are broken down by graduation year, it is evident that the class of 2000 is more satisfied with the value of their degree than the class of 2002. Whereas 68% of alumni from the class of 2000 rated the overall value of their degree as outstanding or excellent, only 50% of 2002 alumni did so.
Considering satisfaction as a measure of how well expectations are fulfilled helps to explain why the class of 2002 rated the degree excellent or outstanding less frequently than the class of 2000. The class of 2000 entered business school when the MBA was considered a guarantee of a lucrative and rewarding career and unlimited upward mobility, and they graduated when the job market was still growing. It was the successive classes, particularly the class of 2002, who have had to reckon with a downcycle economy, repercussions of terrorism, war and geopolitical instability, layoffs, and limited recruiting by employers.
Helping students set reasonable, real-world expectations from the beginning is one way business schools can help improve the perceived value of the MBA degree.

Stay Tuned for the Next Installment
GMAC conducts two MBA Alumni Perspectives Surveys a year, asking different questions in each. Results of the second MBA Alumni Perspectives Survey of 2003 will be released in November. Look for them at www.gmac.com/surveys.

During Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Oman earlier this week, a number of MoUs were signed between the two countries, one of which was in the field of peaceful use of space.
It was signed on behalf of the Government of the Sultanate by Eng. Salim bin Abdullah al-Nu'aimi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Transport and Communications for Transport Affairs whilst it was signed from the Indian Side by Indra Mani Pandey, Indian Ambassador to the Sultanate.
Eng. Salem bin Abdullah al-Nu'aimi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Transport and Communications for Transport Affairs, said that the MoU in the field of peaceful use of space provides for cooperation in the fields of satellites used in navigation systems, space sciences and exploration, sharing experiences between the two countries and exchanging visits of specialists in this field, in addition to exchange of scientific experiment results, joint organisation of courses, conferences, meetings and symposia and the promotion of cooperation in exploration and utilisation of outer space between the government, the private sector and the academic institutions of both countries.
Indra Mani Pandey, Indian Ambassador to the Sultanate said that signing these MoUs, which cover many different fields and sectors, comes to promote cooperation between the two friendly countries. He hoped that the bilateral cooperation between the two sides would expand through these MoUs to a wider and more advanced level.
He praised the Omani-Indian deep relations, saying: "These relations are strategic partnership relations". He pointed out that there is a close cooperation between the Ministries of Defense and security agencies in both countries, in addition to other areas, such as health, tourism, information technology and other fields.

Honesberie Shooting Schools partnership with Rizzini means you're not only able to try the range of guns over the mixture of stands at the shooting school; ranging from traditional sporting clay presentations to the specialist grouse butts and high tower for driven targets. You've got the possibility of a Rizzini factory visit with the team to customise your new gun.
When I was offered the chance to spend a couple days joining Honesberie and some of their clients at the factory I couldn't turn it down. We flew out to Bergamo airport which was just over an hour from Stanstead; after the flight, a short 30 minute taxi ride saw us at our hotel. The agenda for the rest of the day was to meet the Rizzini family at the factory and collect the guns the group were looking to order; this way we could put them through their paces at a local shooting ground. Personally, I was interested in two from their competition range. The S2000 and the BR440, both in 32" sporting configurations. The two other clients had their eye on some guns for the upcoming game season; a BR550RB and a Roundbody EL.
Filippo the export manager for Rizzini greeted us at the of and we chatted over a coffee whilst looking through the selection of guns in their show room. With much excitement, we picked up our respective guns and readied ourselves for the Italy vs England sporting shoot up in the mountains. I shan't dwell on it in but I believe England won this round 😉
The ground itself was lovely and had a great family run restaurant attached so we enjoyed some traditional local food and wine after shooting the guns and making sure of our choices. The novelty was though that even though it was midnight by the time we'd finished eating and chatting, there was still shooting going on under floodlight. It's great to see how popular shooting is in the area, even on a Tuesday evening at midnight!
The next morning was when the real fun began. Filippo picked us up from the hotel and we went straight over to the world famous Bottega Incisioni C. Giovanelli engravers to see the masters at work. The craftmanship that comes from this company is exceptional and they all take real pride in their work; showing off what they're working on as we walk past. It's great to know what the action I chose will go through these craftsman's hands and have the Giovanelli name engraved on the bottom. It adds the personal touch knowing that I've been on the same factory floor where my action will be worked on.
From here we visited the master stock maker, Essevierre. You know you're in the presence of a professional when there are gold medal winning Olympic athletes there picking up their custom stocks; this was further re-enforced by the large number of signed photos adorning the walls from other Olympic athletes using their stocks. The measuring process was surprisingly quick; no-doubt due to decades of experience. We discussed every element including palm swells, stock styles and glove grips. In no time at all we had all the measurements taken and recorded ready for our stocks to be built.
If you've never had a gun fitted or a custom stock made before than you're missing out. Having a custom stock built to your measurements is comparable to the cost of a normal day's pheasant shooting. The benefit is a gun that reliably mounts to the same spot and puts your eye directly down the rib, consistently. This really will add clays to your card or birds to your bag. You wouldn't drive a car without adjusting the seat and mirrors, the same should be thought for shotguns.
With our stock measurements in hand we headed back over to the Rizzini factory for lunch before touring the factory and choosing stock blanks.
The tour of the factory flowed as if we were a shotgun being built. We started off in the machining room where the raw blocks of metal and wood being to be shaped down through various processes so they start resembling the end product.
All the parts are machined out from solid sources. Here are images of a trigger blade, some ejectors and some top levers in various stages of their creation
As we moved through the factory the parts started looking more and more complete. The next room we entered was the finishing shop where all the components meet and are fitted together before being packaged up. There are racks of stocks, actions and barrels:
From here the guns are packaged and readied for shipping world wide.
After we'd seen the process it was time to go and choose some stock blanks! A process I hadn't seen before but one that was fascinating. Whilst it might seem obvious to some I hadn't thought about this decision having such an impact on the finished gun. After all, it's just a choice of how pretty the stock will be? Wrong.
This is where having the expertise of Honesberie and Rizzini there helped to guide our decision making. For example, we looked for stocks that had the style of interesting grain we looked for in the rear end of the stock. Whilst bearing in mind the density of the wood and where that weight would sit on the finished gun. The next part to be sure of was that the grain would run lengthways around the grip area to ensure strength on this, the weakest part of any stock.
In order to get an idea of what the stock would look like when finished alcohol was sprayed on to the blank to highlight the grain but not damage the wood. The alcohol evaporates quickly, leaving no trace. Transparent cut outs were used to demonstrate the area of the wood that would form the stock.
I chose a grade 3/4 stock blank and am excited to see it take its final form! It seems to be slightly unique to the UK market but we prefer darker stocks and tighter patterns.
This was a fantastic trip to an area of Italy that really is home to many big historic names in gun manufacturing.
Beretta, Fausti, Caesar Guerrini and so on…
If you're a horse racing enthusiast it's like heading to Newmarket. You know that you share a common passion with so many of the people around you; you're at the heart of the sport/industry.
When you buy Rizzini you are investing in some of the best craftsmanship in the world. The "original" Rizzini brand is registered worldwide and certifies the highest quality. Rizzini is 100% made in Italy.

The space program represents what is truly great with America. When I was an astronaut I felt each day that I had accepted a responsibility to do the right thing professionally in everything that I did. I was not alone in this as I saw this "right stuff" code everywhere. It was a good feeling to know that all those around me were dedicated to making our nation's space exploration effort as good as it could possibly be. This red, white and blue feeling and theme carried over into everything we did. If everyone at NASA cut ourselves, I believe we would all bleed red, white and blue. - AB

Tips On Managing Business Seasonal Highs & Lows
Whether you're a new start up or an established business, the chances are you experience seasonal highs and lows.
The lows can be stressful and can bring much pressure to business owners, especially SMEs. So here we have put together our top tips on managing your business seasonal lows:
Understand Your Industry High and Low Cycles
The surge of a new start up business can often mask when your natural seasonal highs and lows will be. These peak and troughs may have been identified in your business plan, but if not, you should carefully monitor your production and sales trends. Also, ensure you put a percentage of profits by for any unforeseen circumstances and inevitable lows.
Sell Last Season's Stock
It's not just clothing retailers that need to shift last season's stock. Old stock has not only costs you money but it also takes up valuable space. Don't take the risk of not selling it at all as trends and demands change. Even selling it at a discounted rate is still money on your bottom line and certainly better than writing it off.
Keep in Touch With Your Customers
During low periods, your products or services might not be at the forefront your customers' minds but you should make sure that you are. Remember, a competitor could be using this downtime to muscle in on your customers, so you need to make sure they don't forget who you are. Email campaigns, blog articles, SMS text alerts, for instance, are all great ways of keeping your customers up to date on new product developments, news and views.
Assess Your Expenses
Low periods are a great time to sit and review all your costs. Are you making the most of running expensive machinery? Have you got the best rates on storage units? Could you swap to seasonal temporary staff? Even reviewing electricity, internet and mobile rates for instance could make significant savings.
Invoice Accurately and Promptly
Half of all invoices are incorrect, leading to even later payment. Ensure that you issue your invoices not only promptly but accurately too.
Re-evaluate Your Opening Hours
Simply being open costs money – for example, electricity. So look at whether reducing your operating hours during lows can make a difference to your overheads.
Rent Out Your Assets
Can you make money out of your assets by subletting or renting them out to others? You'd be surprised by how many businesses need equipment on an ad hoc basis without the effort of purchasing themselves.
New Product Development
Research into new product developments, especially those that would utilise your quieter periods. There could well be a natural add-on product line or completely new product and service that you could offer in your downtime, which can effectively fill the sales troughs.
Look into Invoice Factoring
When you're in a seasonal low, waiting for late paying customers can be even more stressful than when you are experiencing a high. So, to avoid suffering from delayed payments of 60, 90+ days, consider factoring your invoices. Invoice factoring will pay up to 90% of the invoice value within 24hrs, paying the balance when your customer pays. What's more, you don't need to go for a long term commitment; you can choose to factor selected invoices or plump for an ICON (In Case of Need) facility. This can smooth your cashflow…and your stress levels!
To learn more about how invoice factoring could help your business, just as it is helping out 40,000 plus UK businesses, get in touch with our expert team today. Call 01908 268888 today!

Texas motorists may have heard that Ford Motor Co. is recalling 550,000 sedans and SUVs over fears the vehicles could roll away while parked. Around 504,000 of the affected vehicles are located in the U.S., and the rest are in Canada and Mexico.
Ford recalls vehicles that could roll away while parked
Regulators question Goodyear about RV tire injury claims
Motorhome owners in Texas anticipate long trips with their recreational vehicles, but an RV tire produced by Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. appears likely to fail during extended use at highway speeds. In June 2002, the manufacturer issued a service bulletin about tire model G159 that authorized free replacement tires for some owners. At that point, Goodyear had processed at least 20 claims about tire failures that caused injury or death. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and attorneys for victims want to know why the company did not issue a recall.
NHTSA says pickups with dangerous air bags should be parked
Some Texas drivers may have heard about faulty Takata airbag inflators installed in a variety of different vehicles that have killed more than 12 people and injured hundreds. In January, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration first issued a warning about 2006 Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series pickups. On May 7, the NHTSA reinforced its warning.
Ford orders recall of popular SUV and pickup truck models
Some Texas motorists might have heard that Ford Motor Company announced on April 6 that it would be sending recall notices to approximately 300,000 vehicle owners around the country. The car maker says that it is recalling some of its 2018 Expedition SUVs, F-150 pickup trucks and F-650 and F-750 heavy commercial vehicles to fix a transmission issue. The problem has been linked to at least one injury accident. A total of about 350,000 vehicles sold in the United States, Canada and Mexico are being recalled.
Professor says autonomous cars should not drive like humans
Texas motorists who have followed the development of autonomous cars may be aware that in Arizona in March, a self-driving Uber car killed a pedestrian. According to a professor at Arizona State University whose research includes examining how computers control systems such as autonomous cars, the safety problem with self-driving vehicles is that they are being to taught to drive like humans. This means they make the same mistakes that a human driver would.
Brake failure the reason for Harley recall
Harley-Davidson has announced a voluntary recall of over 250,000 motorcycles, out of which approximately 175,000 were sold in the U.S. If bikers in Texas realize that their motorcycle is among those recalled, they can take it to the dealers, which started providing the necessary repairs on Feb. 12.
Recall for possible brake defect affects 700,000 vehicles
Texas residents who are concerned about vehicle safety may want to know about a recall that affects more than 700,000 sport-utility vehicles in North America. According to parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, approximately 21,000 of these vehicles are located in Mexico and about 42,000 in Canada. An estimated 646,000 recalled vehicles are registered to owners who live in the United States, traveling roadways that span the nation.
CarMax vehicles may have Takata airbags in them
Texas residents who are planning to buy a car from CarMax may be buying a faulty vehicle. After researching the recall status of 1,700 vehicles at eight CarMax locations in three different states, it was discovered that there were 461 vehicles with at least one outstanding recall. Of those vehicles, 41 had recalls in which there was no repair available.
About vehicle defects and recalls
At some point in time, Texas drivers may receive notice that their vehicle has been recalled. While this may feel like an inconvenience for those who believe that their vehicle is running just fine, it is extremely important that drivers bring their vehicles in to get the potential safety defect fixed.

Often, when searchers use Google, they see a box with a heading named "people also search for," and then some additional search phrases that expand into additional search results. We reported about it a few times here, most recently in April 2015.
Now, Google is testing a new look for that on the mobile search interface. The new look is cleaner and more boxed-in. It also scrolls left and right, like many of the Google carousel features in mobile.
Here is an animated GIF based on some of the screen shots shared by @MattNavarra:
Google is constantly testing new interfaces, so this should come as no surprise.

IN A NUMBER of European countries the Greens are an increasingly influential political movement. They have been part of power-sharing agreements to form governments and have been involved in legislating at both the national and supra-national levels.
However, despite these electoral successes the Green movement in Europe, and beyond for that matter, seems to be caught in a state of limbo – more influential than grass-roots and protest groups, but never a realistic electoral prospect for acting as more than a minor party in national power-sharing agreements.
The popularity of Green politicians is often overlooked. It's hard to think of a more genuinely popular politician in the UK than Caroline Lucas, who of course managed to win a seat in the UK Parliament – a remarkable achievement for such a small party in a First Past the Post system of voting.
However, while Ms Lucas has been able to maintain her presence throughout her time in Parliament, even appearing in court after being arrested at an anti-fracking demonstration, the party is unlikely to stamp its authority on the General Election in 2015, although polls do suggest increasing support for the Greens.
In Europe the Greens are more influential. As Hannah Odenthal of the European Green Party points out in her interview with Lisanne Oldekamp, the Greens are becoming more influential in countries such as Spain as well as Germany and France. Therefore, the appetite for voting Green is there among European voters.
However, despite this support, the Greens still form one of the smaller groups within the European Parliament, and the expected increase in support for anti-EU parties might mean that it becomes even less significant. This seems to defy logic at a time when Europe is largely beginning to accept that it needs to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and fuel imports – most notably as a result of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. In addition to this the Greens are often portrayed as being a diverse group recognising all European interests.
This may be the problem for the Greens.
While they can rely on a certain amount of support, in effect they often are perceived as campaigning on a single issue platform – namely the environment. However, this is less and less the case. The Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament also represents a number of progressive-nationalist movements, most notably in the form of Scotland and Catalonia.
If the Greens want to press forward in Europe they need to address this image and sell themselves better to voters. They are a genuine alternative to the political establishment and while it can be argued some of their cause has been stolen by increasingly environmentally conscious mainstream parties, they should appeal to a wider population than they currently do.
One way of achieving this could be to attract an ever-growing disenfranchised young electorate – especially if they stand in stark contrast to the growing anti-EU rhetoric and political parties who look likely to drastically increase their vote in upcoming elections.
The real tragedy of these European Parliamentary elections is that the debate about Europe has changed from discussing and debating the benefits of Europe to the inadequacies of the European Union. The Greens have an opportunity that is afforded them by their outsider status and pose a genuine alternative.
Someone's got to do it.

text: The Hague District Court recently issued a preliminary ruling in which it held that Lacoste could not invoke its famous crocodile trademark in order to prohibit the use of a crocodile motif on children's underwear. This preliminary judgment is one of only a few examples in which the use of a sign has been considered purely decorative (and thus could not be perceived as trademark use). Typically, the courts are restrictive in accepting such a defence.

SINGAPORE - More than 1,000 cartons of contraband cigarettes and 135kg of chewing tobacco were found in a Malaysia-registered bus at Tuas Checkpoint on Saturday.
In a joint operation by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and Singapore Customs, officers found 1,205 cartons of duty unpaid cigarettes and the chewing tobacco hidden within the modified compartments of the bus during a check around 6.15am on Feb 14. The driver was a 33-year-old Malaysian man.
The amount of duty and GST evaded for the cigarettes and chewing tobacco is about $133,820 and $11,820 respectively.
The driver, the seized items and the bus were handed over to Singapore Customs for further investigations. The bus may also be forfeited.
ICA said in a statement on Monday: "We will continue to conduct security checks on passengers and vehicles at the checkpoints to prevent attempts to smuggle in undesirable persons, drugs, weapons, explosives and other contraband.
"The same methods of concealment used by contraband smugglers may be used by terrorists to smuggle arms and explosives to carry out attacks in Singapore," it added.

Because there wasn't one; I'm still alive. Broken and banged up, sure, but still above ground.
I could lie and tell you I fell down the old well and it took forever for rescuers to find me. Or I could really lie and say I've been negotiating a huge book deal. But I was a Girl Scout and continue to be bound by the oath. The truth is, I had a dumb bicycle accident and spent 9 long days in the hospital.
Now it's time to put that behind me and move along. I'm a little off my game, but I'm slowly working my way back to normalcy. Speaking of, did you know normalcy was considered the uneducated alternative to normality? I didn't. I thought it was just the opposite; normality was the wrong-headed term. These days, however, normalcy is accepted as standard.
Normal is what I wanted to be when I grew up, you know. Not some dork speeding into a tunnel on a bike and misjudging the turn. Yeah, well, it's good to have a dream, I guess. Anyway, I'm back and expect to have a brand new post ready to go in no time flat. I mean it. You can take that as a threat or a promise, either way is fine.
Thank you for your patience. And remember to wear a helmet. All the time. Body armor, too.

Audi Malaysia today announced the availability of three eagerly-anticipated variants of their popular Audi A4 sedans at all Audi showrooms from this Friday; namely the entry-level Audi A4 1.4 TFSI, the top-of-the-range Audi 2.0 TFSI quattro as well as the cutting edge Audi A4 2.0 TFSI Techpack.
The Audi A4 1.4 TFSI represents the entry-point into the Audi A4 family, featuring an advanced 1.4 litre engine and 7-speed S tronic transmission that develops 150hp and 250Nm of torque between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm. This dynamic combination allows the Audi A4 1.4 TFSI to accelerate from 0-100km/h in a brisk 8.5 seconds. Befitting its smaller engine capacity, this model is also frugal in terms of fuel consumption, with a combined fuel consumption of 5.2 l/100 km and a CO2 emissions rating of just 119 g/km.
In terms of the exterior design, the Audi A4 1.4 TFSI differs from the standard Audi A4 2.0 TFSI only in terms of the wheel design as well as the xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights and halogen taillights instead of full LED lights. On the interior, the smaller-engined variant is also almost identical to the standard Audi A4 2.0 TFSI, with the key difference being the steering wheel design.
On the other end of the spectrum sits the Audi 2.0 TFSI quattro, which combines an uprated 2.0 TFSI engine developing 252hp and a maximum 370Nm of torque with Audi's legendary quattro permanent all-wheel drive system for blistering performance. This top-of-the-range Audi A4 makes the century sprint in just 5.8 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. Fuel efficiency and C02 emissions remain impressive for the Audi A4 2.0 TFSI quattro at 5.9litres/100km and 136g/km.
Equipped with the S line package as standard, the Audi A4 2.0 TFSI quattro comes with sportier front and rear bumpers, 18" 5-twin-spoke 'Star' design cast aluminium wheels, MMI navigation plus with MMI touch, sports front seats, Alcantara upholstery, matt brushed aluminium inlays, Audi smartphone interface for apple Carplay and Android Auto, Audi connectand numerous other range-topping features.
Tick the Tech pack option and you get Audi's virtual cockpit, Matrix LED headlights with dynamic indicators in the front (dynamic indicators are already standard for rear lights in all A4 variants), Audi smartphone interface for Apple Carplay and Android Auto and a number of other advanced technological features which come as standard.
Under the hood, the Audi A4 2.0 Tech pack sports the same 2.0-litre engine as the previously introduced 2.0 TFSI variants, developing 190hp of power and 320Nm of torque for a 0-100 km/h acceleration of just 7.3 seconds. Despite its athletic performance, this engine posts class-leading fuel-efficiency due to an innovative new combustion method, with a combined fuel consumption rating of just 5.0litres/100km and a CO2 emissions rating of 114g/km.
The Audi 1.4 TFSI, comes in seven colour options; Glacier White, Floret Silver, Scuba Blue, Tango Red, Monsoon Grey, Argus Brown, as well as Mythos Black and starts at RM218,900. Meanwhile, the range-topping Audi 2.0 TFSI quattro variant, is available at RM314,900 with seven colour options – Glacier White, Floret Silver, Scuba Blue, Tango Red, Monsoon Grey,Daytona Grey, as well as Mythos Black.
As for the Audi A4 2.0 TFSI Tech pack, buyers can choose from the seven colour options; Glacier White, Floret Silver, Tango Red, Argus Brown, Scuba Blue, Monsoon Grey and Mythos Black. The Tech pack is valued at an additional RM25,000 from the standard retail price of RM 248,900 for the Audi A4 2.0 TFSI, which puts it at RM 273,900.
The new Audi A4 1.4 TFSI and Audi 2.0 TFSI quattro will be available for viewing and booking at all authorised Audi dealerships nationwide byFriday, April 14, with special introductory prices of RM 199,900 and RM 294,900 respectively, while stocks last.On the other hand, the Audi A4 2.0 TFSI Tech pack is available at a special introductory pricing of RM 249,900, again whilst stocks last. Delivery of all three variants will be from May/June 2017 and all five variants of the Audi A4 will enjoy 5 years warranty with unlimited mileage from April 2017 onwards.
In conjunction with the release of three distinct new variants of the popular Audi A4 junior executive sedan, Audi Malaysia will be organising a series of Audi A4 IntenCity events across Peninsular Malaysia.
Taking off at Setia Alam on 20-21 May 2017, then heading up to Ipoh on 4 June 2017 before culminating in Penang on 10 June 2017, the Audi A4 IntenCity promises to an amazing opportunity to get firmly acquainted with the new Audi A4 2.0 TFSI quattro and Audi A4 1.4 TFSI with a series of dynamic and engaging Audi driving experiences.

|03/17/2014 Trip Notes: On a trip exploring the Goodsprings Valley behind the town of Groodsprings, I came upon a small band of Burros while hiking up Pauline Mine Road (Figs. 01-03 below). (Click on picture to enlarge) Using the maximum telephoto setting on my camera, I was eventually able to capture several close-up pictures before they decided to scamper off into the desert. I especially like the family portrait in (Fig. 03).
|Description: Wild Burro (Donkey) (Equus asinus). There is no formal cutoff between the terminology "donkey," "burro" and "ass". A small donkey is sometimes called a burro (from the Spanish word for the animal). Burros grow to be about half the size of a horse and weigh between 400 and 600 pounds. Burros also "bray" instead of "whinny". Males are called jacks, and females are called jennies. The differences between horses and burros are generally easy to see. Burros have longer ears and short manes and tails. Babies are born once per year usually between March and July. In the wild, mountain lions are the only natural predator. Nevada is home to most of the nation's wild burros.

North Iowa Times
When the Moving Wall, a half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., comes to the Clayton County Fairgrounds in National June 30 through July 4, visitors will have an opportunity to honor and pay respects to the 58,307 servicemen and women whose names are inscribed upon it. Of those casualties of the Vietnam War, 867 were from Iowa, including nine from Clayton County. On panel 08w, line 26, one will find the name of Monona's Louis Zittergruen, a private first class in the Army, who was killed in July 1970, at age 21.
Louie was the son of Marvin and Ariel Zittergruen and brother to Shirley Anderson (currently of Dallas, Texas), Sheryl Zittergruen (Monona) and Linda Monroe (Luana).
Although nearly 50 years have passed since then, Louie's memory—that of a kind, golden-haired, musically- and athletically-gifted, mischievous boy—has never dulled.
"You'd think, after all these years, I wouldn't have all these memories, but we had such a great childhood," said Linda, Louie's junior by three years.
The two were playmates as kids, she said, recalling days growing up on the family's farm outside Monona, playing in the hay mow, picking wild strawberries and partaking in friendly games of one-upmanship.
One particular contest involved determining how many kernels of corn they could each fit up their noses. Of course, said Linda, Louie wanted her to go first. She ended the day with a trip to the doctor.
"He was always out to have fun, always ready for an adventure," Linda noted. "He had a mischievous glint in his eye. You knew he was up to something."
Louie was also a protective older brother, Linda remembered. He made sure she got to all the school dances. Afterward, if she made plans to go out to eat with friends, he would drop her off and make sure she returned home safely.
Louie's willingness to help others also stood out to his brother Sheryl, who was a couple years older. A Vietnam veteran himself, Sheryl returned home several months before Louie was drafted.
In the school band, Louie played the contrabass clarinet, a large, 5.5-foot-long instrument with a deep sound. While the clarinet was large, one girl played the harp, which was even bigger.
"She couldn't carry it, so he carried both instruments," Sheryl stated. "He told me once that he would throw the harp over his back."
The trade-off: the girl would carry his backpack.
Linda and Sheryl said Louie was a talented musician, and was once selected to play in Europe. In addition to the contrabass clarinet, he also played the bass drum in marching band.
His voice was a musical instrument in itself, as well, Linda mentioned.
"He had a beautiful singing voice," she said. "He was a gifted tenor."
Louie was a member of the choir at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Monona, where he was also part of the Luther League.
In addition to being musically-talented, Louie was a great athlete.
In high school, he excelled at the longer distances in track and earned a trip to the state meet, Linda said.
He also played football at the positions of offensive center and defensive lineman. He was a selfless teammate, Sheryl explained, recalling a time Louie hurt his arm so badly he had to be removed from a game. His replacement didn't fare well, though, so the coach sent Louie back into the game with his arm taped to his side.
"He played half the game like that," Sheryl said, adding that Louie later discovered he had a broken arm.
With a fun-loving personality, Louie had a lot of friends, Linda said. The ladies also loved him. To this day, classmates, friends and community members share thoughts and memories with the siblings, which means a lot to them.
His personality also left an impression on those outside the area. Around 10 years ago, the family obtained a letter written by Louie's staff sergeant in Vietnam. Penned after Louie's death, it described the kind of person he was to a tee, Linda and Sheryl said.
It read, in part: "I remember Lou as a big, strong guy with yellow hair, good features and an easy-going disposition. He was willing to try different assignments and didn't gripe about anything, which was unusual. More important, he kept his head and did his job when we were on the move, in defensive positions, or performing various types of special operations. He wasn't a hotdog or a coward under fire—he was a competent soldier."
Louie served in South Vietnam, Quang Ngai Province, specializing in light weapons infantry. His unit was the 11th Light Infantry Brigade, 3rd Battalion, 1st Infantry, B Company.
Linda said it was a shock to discover Louie had been killed, as the family expected him to be on R&R in Japan at that time. A delay prevented him from leaving, however.
"We didn't even think he was [in Vietnam]," she noted. "It was tough."
Roughly two weeks after his death, a letter from Louie arrived home. With it came the tiger photo that accompanies this article, along with details about the animal.
"They were patrolling in the evening when they heard this noise," Linda explained. "They called out for [it] to identify itself, but they kept hearing this noise coming at them, so they shot it. They laid on the ground all night. In the morning, they found out it was a tiger."
In the years since Louie's death, Sheryl has visited the Vietnam Memorial in D.C., wishing to honor his brother, his cousin David Mueller, who was from Garnavillo, and other men with whom he served. Their parents also visited the wall, Sheryl said.
"It was busy and mom and dad didn't know where to go or what to do," he said. While trying to find their way around, the couple luckily saw a policeman and mentioned they wanted to find their son's name on the wall. The officer told them to follow him and he activated the lights on his motorcycle, leading them to a special lot and walking them over to the wall. It meant a lot to his parents, Sheryl noted.
It's also meant a lot to the family that, over the years, people have given them etchings of Louie's name on the wall.
Sheryl mentioned it will be interesting to see how the Moving Wall compares to the real thing, which he said stood out for "how overwhelming it was, the blackness." At the Moving Wall, he will run guard duty and his wife, Mary, will read names.
"I'm thrilled the wall is coming," Linda added. "I think the size and scope of the wall should leave such an impact."
The Moving Wall will arrive at the fairgrounds Thursday, June 30, via a motorcycle escort. It will be open for public viewing and guarded 24/7 while it's there, until 8 a.m. on Tuesday, July 5. Several presentations, including the opening ceremony Thursday night, at 6 p.m., as well as multiple special exhibits, will also be featured. Please see the schedule in the ad on page 12.

Peru's operatic knight set to enchant Taiwan
Peruvian operatic tenor Juan Diego Flórez is expected to take the stage in Taiwan after becoming the first person to perform an encore at the Teatro La Scala Opera House in Milan, in 74 years.
To preserve the musical flow of operatic pieces, the great Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini set down the unwritten rule in 1921, preventing singers from performing encores between songs. After Russian opera legend Feodor Chaliapin broke the taboo for his retirement concert in 1933, no opera singers had dared challenge the tradition until Flórez took the stage in 2007, reported CNA.
During his performance of the aria, "Ah! Mes Amis," from the Italian opera "La Fille du Regiment," Flórez received a five-minute standing ovation after successfully hitting all nine high-C's featured in the song — oft described as the Mount Everest for tenors.
From a young age, the Peruvian talent would perform at his mother's musical restaurant when the scheduled singers failed to show up. In June, 2007, Flórez was decorated with the Knight Grand Cross in the Order of the Sun of Peru, the highest honor of his home country.
This will be Flórez's first visit to Taiwan and his concert is set to start at 7:30 p.m., Dec. 1, at the Taipei National Concert Hall. Several classic operatic pieces, including Carmen, La Bohème, and La Traviata, are on the musical menu.
For more information about Juan Diego Flórez's performance and ticket pricing, visit the ERA Ticket website.
