I love fresh grilled fish in the summertime. In this delicious recipe for Grilled Fish Kebobs from Weeknights with Giada (Clarkson Potter, 2012), Giada De Laurentiis uses three types of fish, not only for color but also for variations in flavor and texture. For the accompanying flavored butter, Giada keeps it simple; because the fish is pretty mild-tasting, she uses only garlic and parsley, which will enhance the flavor of the fish, not overwhelm it. Stir a spoonful of the parsley and garlic butter into some white or brown rice to serve alongside the kebobs, and you've got the perfect summer dinner.
Grilled Fish Kebobs with Parsley and Garlic Butter
Recipe from Weeknights with Giada by Giada De Laurentiis
Serves 4 to 6
1 (10-ounce) center-cut salmon steak, skinned, cut into ½-inch cubes (about 20 pieces)
1 (10-ounce) center-cut halibut steak, skinned, cut into ½-inch cubes (about 20 pieces)
1 (10-ounce) tuna steak, skinned, cut into ½-inch cubes (about 20 pieces)
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Grated zest and juice of 1 large lemon
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the kebobs: Put the salmon, halibut, and tuna in a large resealable plastic bag. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Pour the mixture over the fish and seal the bag. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Thread each of 10 skewers (see Cook's Note) with 2 pieces of salmon, 2 pieces of halibut, and 2 pieces of tuna, alternating the fish on the skewers.
For the butter: In a small bowl, mix the butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the kebobs with salt and pepper and grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until opaque. Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve topped with the butter.
Cook's note: I find long metal skewers easiest to use. If you're using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.

White Water Rafting, Cairns
5 Reviews
5 Reviews
We signed up for a 1 day White Water Rafting trip on the Tully River with a company call Raging Thunder, and it was an exciting and action filled day. The Tully River is tame enough for relatively safe rafting, yet offer enough rapids and waterfalls to make this an adrenaline pumping ride.
From my research, there are basically two rivers to choose from and two companies that take you rafting. The Baron River rates out at 1-2 on the rapids, which means they are simple, easy going (yawn); the Tully River rates out at 3-4, which makes them moderate, have to hold on more, sometimes losing people over the side...
The companies are Raging Thunder and RnR. We went with Raging Thunder; a couple of our guides had also worked for RnR, and didn't have a very high opinion of them, so I think we went the right way.
The bus picks you up at your hotel and takes you to the head of the river, which is about an hour drive. During that time, they give you a familiarization to what you're getting into, and also start grouping you together for the different rafts, trying to match personalities. We got a great guide, and he did things with us that the others didn't necessarily do. I believe they will tailor some of the activities depending on each groups abilities, mentalities, funlovingness, etc. We happen to be a very fun-loving group, so we had some "wars" going with other rafts, pulling each other out in calming waters, our guide tipping us in others. I was old enough to be everyone's mother, but still kept up with them just fine!
Good information to know: they do lock up your valuables under the bus when you set off at the head of the river, so all is safe. You are required to wear lace up shoes or river sandals; they do rent sandals for $4. They will NOT allow you back on the bus at the other end with a wet tush, so make sure you have a change of clothes.
Third of the way down, we all pulled over for a barbeque lunch that was well deserved and very good. Further down, pulled over again to do a little diving off rocks, for anyone who so desired. For anyone concerned about falling out, the male in our raft was the only one that fell out of ours -- and he managed it 3 times. Even though we were all briefed on being good saving partners, I was very impressed at how extraordiarily fast our guide could make it across the raft, grab hold of the guy, and whip him back in.
The scenery down the river was absolutely beautiful, and for the times we had peaceful water, our guide (who was quite a card) was full of interesting information about the area. All in all, a wonderful trip, would do it again.Cost per person US was $128, that was including the $30 insurance added in.
There are a number of extreme sports you can do while visiting this area.
The two that stand out are White water rafting and Skydiving.
You have two main companies that do white water rafting. These are Raging Thunder and R@R white water rafting.
Raging Thunder do this on the Tully and Barron rivers.
The companies will pick you up from your accommodation and off you go for a day's adventure.
I would suggest that if you decide to do this, do the Tully rafting. I say this because some times during the year the Barron River one would be a disappointment, it doesn't always have lots of water in it and you could be pulling the raft more than rding in it!!! I have seen this happen on the Barron and I thought to myself, that ain't exciting, that is money wasted!!!!
I took Raging Thunder to go white water rafting and it was simply awesome. We went through the rapids of barron River on a Grade 3 level and it took around 4 hours and 80 aussie dollars. My shoes got scrwed as we were told to jump into the water twice. Jumping in the water itself was an amazing experience. The guide was excellent, it was raining and we made the best of it. A peice of advice...dont take your shoes...raging thunder gives you sandals for 3-4 bucks and it is definitely worth it.
Cairns has a great river for rafting, i don't on wich level it is, i guess it wasn't that hardcore, but then again, i never rafted before. You get to see some really beautiful surroundings and get some good action too.
I suggest bringing a waterproof camera
We actually booked the rafting from the hotel and get picked up there.

MY 103.5 Beaches Boscobel Broadcast – Day 3 [SPONSORED]
Although we didn't bring any kids on the trip, it was pretty obvious that Beaches Boscobel Resort and Golf Club is a great place for kids.
As we were heading down to breakfast this morning, we walked by the Sesame Street character breakfast. The kids inside were having a blast, dancing with Elmo and hugging Cookie Monster. The little ones were bouncing around, elated to sit down for a meal with their favorite characters. There are various shows and activities to do throughout the day with Sesame Street, like finding the letter of the day with Grover, exercising with Elmo and looking for rubber duckies with Ernie.
MY 103.5 Beaches Boscobel Broadcast – Day 2 [SPONSORED]
Our first excursion during our stay at the Beaches Boscobel Luxury Included Resort and Golf Club was a catamaran cruise on the beautiful and exciting oceans after a morning full of "liquid sunshine."
The highlight of the cruise was lying on the "trampoline" on the front, a series of criss-crossed ribbons that form a webbing with nothing but ocean several feet beneath, and being splashed as the catamaran crested the waves. We also stopped for a while to swim in the ocean, which was surprisingly warm, and even found a starfish and several sea urchins by diving down to the bottom. On the short ride back to the resort, the crew taught us some Jamaican dancing, and the DJ mixed in a few fun American songs for us to enjoy.

Comedy Experience
So effective, it's not even funny.
At the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) this year, Clayton Fletcher and Deb Brown, spoke about the benefits of comedy training for your company's culture:
- Comedy at work can be good for you!, by Susan Avello, HR Virtual Cafe
- LOL - You could be changing your company culture, by Melissa Fairman, HR reMix
Listen to an interview with Co-Founder, Steve Cody, and Chief Comedy Officer, Clayton Fletcher, where they discuss the benefits of Comedy Experience.
Today's leading companies stay ahead of the pack by training smart, confident professionals – professionals who engage easily, think creatively, listen actively, and deliver flawlessly under pressure. Surprisingly, stand-up comedy is a vital means to that end, improving morale, engaging internal and external audiences, and building a more empowered, supportive, and human team mind-set.
Our Comedy Experience offering examines the core tenets of stand-up comedy and explores how they can provide organizations with new ways of looking at their business, their culture, and their leadership development. Conceived by comedy expert Clayton Fletcher and full-time Peppercomm CEO and part-time comedian Steve Cody, our customized, interactive Comedy Experience emphasizes transparency, authenticity, storytelling, and nonverbal communication. Participants learn a broad range of widely applicable lessons in reading, engaging, and truly connecting with audiences. They also learn how to react and respond effectively to audience feedback in unfamiliar situations and how to build a more professional and approachable business persona.
The Peppercomm Comedy Experience encourages employees to get to know one another better than ever before and – by sharing emotionally and openly – to build the kind of trust and rapport that can reverberate throughout an organization. We know this because we live it; all of our employees are trained in the nuances of stand-up comedy, and the lessons learned – storytelling, authenticity, and team building, to name a few – have permeated and enriched our culture. We have found, through our own experiences and those of our clients, that stand-up and business fit together perfectly. And that is because great comedy and great workplaces are founded on the same core principle: the truth.
5 Tips on Presenting from Our Stand Up Comedians
- Recognize that being nervous before speaking is perfectly normal. Harness the energy, don't run from it.
- Don't be afraid to show your vulnerability. Audiences will love you for it.
- Slow down. The most common mistake made by PR pros is speaking too quickly. Comedy training will help with pacing.
- Use self-deprecating humor. Audiences respond to speakers (and leaders) who aren't afraid to laugh at themselves.
- Chill out. You're not solving global climate change or ending world hunger, so relax and enjoy your moment in the sun.

Electric power is a fundamental utility in modern society. Power systems today are based on technology that was mainly developed for one-way power flows from large power plants to generally passive customers at the receiving end of the network. Making grids 'smarter' will help to alleviate many of the challenges that power systems are currently facing and that will occur with increasing frequency in the future, such as variable-output renewables, distributed generation, electric vehicles, under-investment in grid infrastructure, and more.
Looking ahead, implementation of Smart Grids is expected to bring along large investments in the power system sector. The key risk is that the costs of implementing the Smart Grid will outweigh the benefits. Many of the technologies that will be part of the Smart Grid are presently immature and need to climb significant learning curves. There is therefore a risk of stranded costs, due to high cost investments in an immature technology at a too early stage.
The lack of protocols and standards for the new 'smart' components means that there is a risk that investments may be made in equipment that is unable to interact with other critical components. Secure and safe IT communication and advanced software is essential for the current power system and will be significantly more important in the future Smart Grid.
Indeed, significant challenges lie ahead before any power system can be called a true 'Smart Grid'. The challenges are spread across the electricity supply chain and solving these will require a great deal of new thinking. In order to encourage the power sector to transform, work should also be directed towards changing the regulatory environment that presently does not reward utilities for adapting and promoting new technology.

Django Django, Night Moves

Doug Fir Lounge
830 E Burnside St.
830 E Burnside St.
[FOLKTRONICA] London's Django Django must find it difficult to subdue the endless comparisons to Brian Eno, Hot Chip and the Beta Band, especially since drummer David Maclean actually shares ties with the latter. Its music pleasingly pits the rustic nuances of pre-psychedelic rock against the futuristic, Blade Runner-esque hubbub of the '80s. On their self-titled debut, Django's members offer sprightly, groove-steeped jams laden with surf-rock guitar, pulsing rhythms and otherworldly keyboards. Guitarist Vincent Neff sings about everything from nature to getting belligerently smashed, and although the music is essentially minimalistic in its approach, it still somehow manages to reach multifaceted heights you didn't think possible. Far out, man!

Pac Northwest: White supremacist homeland?
If the folks at UO thinks they've got a problem with the Pacifica Forum, maybe they should thank their lucky stars they are not in Grant County.
According to an article in the Blue Mountain Eagle, the Aryan Nations are considering a move to John Day in eastern Oregon. The citizens of John Day are not thrilled and have begun to organize rallies against the proposal, reports The (newly, sadly shrunken-staffed) Oregonian.
Paul R. Mullet (yup, his real name) calling himself the leader of the movement (there is another group, also called Aryan Nations, out of North Carolina that split off from the group headquartered in Idaho) came to John Day from Idaho to look for a place to start a new compound, the Blue Mountain Eagle reports.
Why John Day? Well, according to Mullet, "the group's goal is to create a homeland for white people.
'That area is the Pacific Northwest,' he said. 'The blacks have Africa, the Jews have Israel ...'"
After a lawsuit brought by the the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Idaho Aryan Nations group was essentially rendered defunct in Idaho, but it looks like Mullet has been planning a resurgence for at least a little while.
The residents of John Day would prefer they not resurge in their small town. Just because they want to keep their guns and keep the United Nations out (Grant County passed a measure to that effect in 2002) does not mean they welcome the haters.
And don't worry, they have indeed already established a Keep the Aryan Nations out of Grant County Facebook page.

This is from my mate 'Burgerjesus' on Flickr. New bike lockers for a new 2-way busway. Insert a $2 NZD coin and it is refunded when you pick up the bike. The box has hooks inside for helmets and raincoats etc.
He describes it better:
Unbelievably, the powers that be have built a busway (2-way bus motorway) beside the existing overcrowded motorway that takes all traffic from the North Shore over the harbour bridge to downtown Auckland. Something was needed as we have no rail at all on this side of the city and the northern half of Auckland is expanding rapidly, but I feel a light rail system would have been much more appropriate. The last thing we need is more roads and more vehicles. At least they have made a good job of constructing it.

I have seen something similar at the Barnes Wetland Centre in London - except no coin required, you use your own bike lock to close the cage

Does anyone have information on who makes these lockers. I think they are great and would like to see if I can get my town to purchase some for their park and rides.

at first glance i thought the sign said 'bike and kids'... that's very nice though, last time i took the train i missed my bus to the station and had to ride my bike and leave it in the open outside the station for a week. it felt awful, and i had to call a friend and beg him to put an extra lock on my bike.

Re...."Does anyone have information on who makes these lockers"....Yes, I do...The Bike Locker Company - Auckland, NZ. P.O Box 34216, North Shore, 0746 Auckland, New Zealand or email email@example.com. If anyone is interested, please let me know. I haven't made any for a couple of years now (the result of holding down another real job that involves lots of traveling ..but pays the bills)...however, I designed and build these with a passion around two years ago and would love to kick the project off again. Feel free to drop me an email or pass my details on...thanks Anonymous.

The real question, an e-retailer says, is whether consumers want to use it.
Bitcoin, the new digital currency, is often referred to as a cryptocurrency and is hailed as a solution for global payment transactions in some circles. It does work as a peer-to-peer distribution system and is currently used by some businesses for trading.
[EDITOR'S NOTE: The Bitcoin system was created in 2009, and its founders have not been publicly identified. However, they say that the design of the system will prevent more than 21 million Bitcoins from being created, which should prevent anyone from creating large quantities of the digital currency and thus devaluing each Bitcoin. Bitcoins can be purchased for conventional currency on a number of online exchanges, and they are accepted for payment on some web sites. Their value fluctuates based on supply and demand. Bitcoin enables anonymous payments, which makes them attractive for certain kinds of purchases, but also raises fears among law enforcement agencies about their potential use for money laundering and the purchase of illegal goods.]
As the CEO of an e-commerce company who has been involved with the internet since the '80s, my opinion about Bitcoin is that we just aren't ready for it yet, and may never be. This may dismay some of the proponents of Bitcoin, but let's break down how it is being sold as an easy solution for an e-commerce business that currently accept several currencies.
The more important question is: How is Bitcoin really a relevant concept for the average online customer? Currently at Spreadshirt, we're not getting any consumer-led demand for this currency. In fact, to date, not even one of our thousands of customers or shop-partners has requested to pay or be paid in Bitcoin. When you already have widely accepted and recognized currencies, why would you want to confuse things and demand another kind of payment? Our motto is always "keep the experience simple and fast for the consumer."
As a British executive, I reluctantly admit to some bias against any currency without a picture of the Queen as real money. However, my childhood view has been liberalized after residing in America and in the Eurozone. Kidding aside, I still seriously question whether Bitcoin makes ANY sense for consumers. They already have multiple payment options like credit cards, direct payment and other methods that work just fine. Most notably, these options cost the consumer nothing. If the consumer can't come up with a compelling reason to adopt it, why would a retailer pursue it?
In the spirit of open-mindedness, I believe that all businesses must think ahead and future-proof all practices for continual success. So, as a mass-market retailer, here is my list of five reasons that the average consumer might consider using Bitcoin, and why they aren't doing so yet:
1) Better security? Most online customers are not displeased with existing transaction security when using current methods of payment. Most are fairly tolerant to the current risks and are not averse to online shopping. The most concerned shoppers tend to shop with trusted brands to reduce the risk factor rather than switch payment methods.
2) Zero percent fraud? This is a retailer problem not a consumer one. Most credit cards offer fraud protection to consumers. The transactor and retailer cover the cost, so the consumer does not care. Retailers cannot force consumers to use payment to suit their needs. (I promise you that if I could reduce the 1% fraud on my business I would). The recent news stories highlight that as the digital currency becomes more popular, Bitcoin also becomes an attractive target for cybercriminals. If Bitcoins are taken, the consumer or retailer could just plain be out of luck.
3) Lower costs? There won't be any lower costs passed on to the consumer since very few retailers offer lower costs to those who pay with something other than a credit card. (In fact, many retailers are not allowed to under current payment contracts.) Other than tickets for events or travel, it is rare to incur extra charges for credit cards, and most consumers have debit cards.
4) Less complexity? Hmmm. So a consumer has to get another currency from their everyday one and then try and work out the pricing? Well that's not exactly likely to be easier or faster!
5) Ideology of "sticking it to the man." The mass-market IS "the man" and wants to use what works for the man, or they just don't care. Therefore, this mindset will always make it a minority issue.
Bitcoin, in essence, is a currency system that is largely designed for the tax-avoiding rich who are anti-establishment and need to send money to really difficult places.
If Bitcoin has no mass-market appeal, it will be of little use to e-commerce retailers and platforms. I am receptive to a debate on this topic; just show me a good argument for mass-market usage. Certainly, the Internet has proven that revolutionary new ideas do catch on despite naysayers. However, my job is to try and cover as many of our customers' needs as possible, so if eventually enough people tell me they want to use Bitcoin, then Spreadshirt will adapt and find ways of taking Bitcoin payments.

Privacy-guarding, peer-to-peer Bleep now available for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows.
UPDATED: According to a report by security firm GFI, Apple's Mac OS X is the most vulnerable operating system, with the iOS platform coming in second. A debate over reporting nuances and merits of the report quickly followed.
Microsoft is rolling out a first public preview of its OneDrive for Business for Mac client, and outlined new and coming updates to its OneDrive app for iOS and Windows.
The Mac/iOS malware was able to install on non-jailbroken iOS devices, but was quickly neutered. Three suspects are in custody.
While most industry watchers looked at iOS mobile sales figures revealed in the company's recent Q3 earnings call, Apple executives appeared to be pitching a Mac story. And an interesting one.
Tenorshare Free iPhone Care for Mac is a professional iOS 9.0, 8.4, 8.2, 8.1, 7.1, 6 optimizer. It helps you check your iOS device...
Microsoft is rolling out new OneNote features for iPhones, iPads and Macs, as well as first steps on the promised support for OneDrive for Business for Macs.
As the dust settled following the WWDC introduction of Swift, Apple's new and future programming language, Mac and iOS developers had plenty to ponder. Many are coming around to Swift after voicing early concerns.
4Videosoft iOS Transfer for Mac does well in transferring video, music, photo and many other multimedia files from Mac to iOS device...
There were many positive developments unveiled at Apple's recent WWDC. But one major piece of 1980s technology at the center of the Mac and iOS stack needs replacement. Tech rarely gets better with age.
Apple's next generation mobile OS doesn't broadcast your MAC address while searching for wi-fi access points. It's a small victory for privacy advocates and a loss for mobile marketers.
Apple is now clearly – and quite aggressively – leveraging the iOS to push OS X. It's capitalizing on the fact that almost 90 percent of iOS devices are running the latest version of iOS (compare this to Android, where less than 10 percent of devices are running the latest KitKat release).
A total of 33 vulnerabilities patched, most in iOS. Only the Airport Base Station was vulnerable to Heartbleed.
Microsoft is updating its remote desktop applications for non-Windows platforms, but still has yet to make available a Microsoft-developed version for Windows Phone.
[UPDATE] It says something about Apple's priorities that they fixed the iOS version of a very serious bug but left Mac users conspicuously vulnerable.
Apple rushed the release of iOS 7.0.6 on Friday with a patch for a shockingly overlooked SSL encryption issue that leaves iPhone, iPad and Mac computer users open to a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
Microsoft has updated with new features and fixes its Remote Desktop apps for iOS, Android and Mac OS X just about a month after releasing them.
The fiasco of the Mac iWork revamp continues, despite Apple's recent release of a punch list for missing features and bugs. Management hubris and lack of oversight appear to be the primary wrongdoings here. Still, some of the blame should go to Apple's attempt to merge Mac and iOS interfaces and workflows.
As announced earlier in October, Microsoft released its Remote Desktop 8.0 for iOS and Mac to the Apple iOS and Mac App Stores.
Parallels Access lets iPad owners use Mac and Windows apps, with interface tweaks to make the software better on a touchscreen device.
Apple used its Worldwide Developer Conference to announce OS X Mavericks, iOS 7, iTunes Radio, and new MacBook Air, Mac Pro and AirPort hardware.
It's all about the Apple Ecosystem — as if elegant industrial design, an innovative operating system, and top-end hardware weren't enough goodness to persuade Windows users to switch to the Mac. Apple's new iOS-OS X, right-left punch to WWDC attendees was really aimed directly at switchers from Windows.

Airline officials charged with cargo price-fixing
ATLANTA - ATLANTA (AP) - A federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted three former Japanese airline executives on charges of conspiring to fix rates for air cargo shipments to and from the United States.
The Justice Department said the conspiracy ran from at least 1999 to 2006, while the executives' airlines were carrying consumer goods, heavy equipment and other cargo on international flights.
The indictment in federal district court in Atlanta named Takao Fukuchi, the former president of cargo sales for Japan Airlines; and Yoshio Kunugi and Naoshige Makino, both former senior executives for Nippon Cargo Airlines.
The three former air officials are charged with price fixing, with a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and fines up to $1 million or more, depending on the illicit gain from shippers.
With the latest indictment, 19 airlines and 17 executives have been charged in an ongoing investigation into price fixing in air transportation. Four executives have been sentenced to prison, charges are pending against 13, and more than $1.7 billion in criminal fines have been imposed, according to the Justice Department.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
MCLB-ALBANY, Ga. -- A leader in Albany's military community moved up in rank Friday.
The commanding general of Marine Corps Logistics Command received his second star. Maj. Gen. James Kessler received it at a promotion ceremony aboard Marine Corps Logistics Base-Albany.
Immediately after receiving the new rank, Kessler said he was extremely honored.
"(This promotion) means an opportunity to continue to serve with Marines, specifically in this assignment, civilian Marines," the major general said. "There is no other place in the Marine Corps I'd rather be than right here.
"It's a lot of fun being here."
There to promote Kessler was Lt. Gen. Frank Panter, deputy commandant for installations and logistics at Headquarters Marine Corps.
"It's a great day for Marine Corps Logistics Command, a great day for the Marine Corps and a great day for Southwest Georgia," Panter said during his remarks.
Before officially promoting Kessler, Panter explained to those attending the ceremony what it takes to become a major general.
"It's about showing exceptional leadership," he said. "(A major general) will be a partner that will endure assignments and make sacrifices. It's about knowing technical skills and it's about going where your commandant tells you to go."
As visitors to the base before him have done, Panter also touched on what role LOGCOM has in keeping the Corps running.
"I can't tell you what an important job this is," the lieutenant general said of Kessler's current position. "This (the command) is such a critical asset to the commandant (of the Marine Corps).
"Any chance I have to visit LOGCOM, I use it, and I exercise that right when I can."
Speaking with reporters following the ceremony, Kessler followed the same vein.
"What I'm proudest of here is the work force," he said. "Throughout the command, the work force has been phenomenal."
A native of Mountlake Terrace, Wash., Kessler was commissioned a second lieutenant from the University of Washington in Seattle in July 1980.
While assigned to 1st Tank Battalion, 1st Marine Division, then-Capt. Kessler was deployed for Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. Upon his return, he reported for duty as an inspector with the Department of Defense Inspector General's Office.
In 1999, while a lieutenant colonel, Kessler assumed command of the Defense Distribution Center in Barstow, Calif. Following that, he was selected to attend the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, National Defense University in Washington, D.C.
The leadership positions Kessler has held, even the trials and tribulations, have made him worthy of this promotion. This is an assessment that comes from those that have worked with him directly, including the general who promoted him.
"All of his assignments where extremely difficult," Panter said of Kessler's career. "When he was handed a leadership experience, he accepted it.
"At the lieutenant colonel rank, it was obvious that he showed leadership qualities."
Kessler assumed his current post in June 2009 with the rank of brigadier general. He holds advanced degrees in military studies from Marine Corps University, a master of science degree in systems management from the University of Southern California and a master of science in national resource strategy from Industrial College of the Armed Forces.

The trick there is that 'easier on the eye' isn't necessarily 'better on the eye'.
iPads are lovely to read on because they're lit from behind and have super high-resolution screens... but they're still screens, just like a computer, and half the problem with that is you're essentially staring at a light all day.

As of Saturday, January 26, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- Outside a gun and knife show at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds on Saturday, a line of customers stretched hundreds of people deep into the parking lot. Inside, gun enthusiasts bumped shoulder-to-shoulder browsing the 300 tables.
While an event organizer admitted the crowd was "above average," he said crowds for winter shows are typically busier as people look for weekend entertainment. But at least one vendor and several customers estimated the crowd to be several thousand people by early afternoon.
For $10 per adult and $3 for children, RK Gun Shows and Gun Shows of the South Inc., allowed gun buyers and sellers to browse antique and modern firearms of all types, from rifles, to shotguns and handguns, event manager Bill Abner said.
"In the wintertime we always have a larger crowd, but I guess with everything going on in the media, it has everybody in an uproar," said Abner at the show, which continues from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today. "We really don't know what's going to happen. Everybody's trying to buy and see what's going to happen."
Vendor George Mazzant of On The Square Guns in McDonough said the flow of customers was a little better than average, and most customers were first-time gun buyers. Mazzant said he's the son of the company owner, and his company is the largest on the gun show circuit in Georgia and, with two rows, accounted for about 20 percent of this weekend's show.
"We haven't sold the first (assault rifle) yet and we have 50 on the table," Mazzant said. "Prices are up on them, but we have them, but they're not selling. What's selling is handguns, shotguns and ammo. People want self-defense. Every day they have on TV this person shot that person. If they put every car wreck on TV that there was a death, you would watch nothing but people wrecking in cars. Now they're putting every shooting there is on TV, so people are getting more afraid."
Mazzant said his customers ranged from all legal ages to all walks of life, from a gas station employee to a company executive.
"It's not that they're stockpiling, they just want decent self-defense," he said. "And some guys can afford to spend more than others."
Mazzant and Abner said each vendor is required to have a federal firearms license, and require each buying customer to fill out paperwork and pass a background check prior to the purchase. The "gun show loophole" comes in, Mazzant said, when a customer is denied purchase by the FBI, a customer could turn around and buy a gun from another customer, without paperwork, which happened at least once on Saturday, he said.
"In our state, they need to do background checks on everybody, because criminals know you can go to a gun show and get a gun, if you've got cash," he said. "People should be allowed to sell their guns, but they must be a licensed FFL dealer and do the paperwork."
Mazzant said the combination of the media, politicians and supply and demand has led to a spike in gun sales recently. Mazzant said sales went up the same day that President Barack Obama appointed Vice President Joe Biden to lead a gun control task force.
"It was like they dropped the bus off at the front door with customers," Mazzant said. "Thank you Mr. Obama. People quote him as Salesman of the Year. That man is Salesman of the Decade."
The last spike in sales came shortly after the 2008 presidential election, Mazzant said.
Mazzant compared the supply and demand to so-called gas shortages that cause people to fill up their cars, and severe weather that leads people to grocery stores for bread and milk. If French fries were outlawed, Mazzant said there wouldn't be a deep fryer or potato left in the country.
"If they do outlaw it, like they say they're going to, you need to get it before they do," Mazzant said.
George Ruiz of Conyers purchased a Kel-Tec SU-2000 on Saturday because he said there hasn't been many of that model available lately. Ruiz also noticed a much larger crowd than normal.
"A lot of people are interested in picking up weapons before the bans go through," Ruiz said.
With a concealed weapons license, Ruiz said his paperwork process was smoother and faster than someone who doesn't have one.
Ruiz said he's also noticed a difference in the price of guns. One that cost $500 five years ago now costs $2,000, he said.
"They're just not out there, the supply is drying up," he said. "And the manufacturers just aren't keeping up with demand.
The only end in sight, vendors and gun enthusiasts agree, is if and when laws are passed.
"If the gun bills aren't passed, there isn't going to be as big a rush as there is now," Ruiz said. "Right now everybody is anticipating (the) worst-case scenario."

Here are some things I find interesting with this article. Those interviewed at the show indicated people are not buying the "assault" weapons Obama et al want to ban. The types of weapons being sold include shotguns. A weapon recommended last week by VP Joe Biden. And, people are buying due to fear of crime. Recent data from police and the FBI indicate crime has decreased substantially in recent years. Yet everyday we see dozens of media news accounts of violent crime against our citizens. What's up?
notblind 2 years, 8 months ago
Gun ownership rising, violent crime falling "Didn't see that happening". .............................. The truth is that for much of the country violent crime has actually fallen. Even in NY and Chicago. If you want to be amazed research the murder rates from years past. 2000+ in one year for NY back in the bad old days. It's now far easier to get a carry permit in many places than it was back then. Those high murder rates were part of the reason for making it easier to get a permit. Now the politicians and other idiots have forgotten the past and want us to go back there. ........................................ There is NO murder rate that is acceptable. Since police stop very few murders the only hope for the citizens is to keep their own means of self defense. One of the consequences of the 2nd Amendment is this ability to own a gun for defense from violent criminals.
Hangdog 2 years, 8 months ago
Actually, Chicago has seen a significant increase in homicides. They had 513 in 2012, up 15% from 448 in 2011. In 2012, more people were killed in Chicago than US troops in Afghanistan.
The statistics are not new. While some 2,000 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since 2001, more than 5,000 people have been killed by gun fire in Chicago during that time, based on Department of Defense and FBI data.
'Gun Control' just doesn't work and the current administration can't even see it, even when the head honcho's own stomping grounds of Chicago provides a perfect example of what happens. The two forced cash for guns situation in Australia is another example.
TOWG 2 years, 8 months ago
I read the article and was a bit puzzled by the reference to the gun show loophole. What I read was that one of the vendors, a Mr. Mazzant witnessed a purchaser being turned down on a background check and then that person was later observed by Mr. Mazzant purchasing a firearm from a private individual. Folks, that is legal. It's no different than me selling a gun to my nephew and not running a background check. Now the problem is, I know and trust my nephew. Mr. Mazzant knew that the buyer could not pass the check and apparently did nothing to prevent that transfer and then reported that transfer to the GDP. Thanks for the great pro 2nd amendment PR Mr. Mazzant!! What were you thinking?? If I had paid more than an insignificant sum to be able to sell my legal product at a gun show and witnessed something like this I'd be raising hel"" with the promoter!!! Don't FFL holders have some sort of responsibility to report such a questionable exchange in their marketplace? How about a little respect for the industry that is feeding your family? Sometimes we really are our own worst enemy. The comments on the article have started to lean toward crime rates and the push for more gun control. I know this is going to get some peoples boxers in a bunch but I'm past caring. Look at the raw numbers of how MANY are being killed by guns in places like Chicago, New York, New Orleans, LA, and Atlanta, all major urban areas that account for most of the nations gun crime. Instead turn the focus on WHO is being killed and by WHOM. The vast, better than 75%, of the victims are involved in crime prior to their untimely demise and they are killed by fellow criminals.Tragedies like Sandy Hook and Aurora, where innocents are lost, are actually dwarfed by the huge number killed by guns that society is better off without. That doesn't even include gun deaths due to self-defense or the 2 million times a year the presence of a legally owned firearm prevents a crime. If you only count innocent victims of gun violence the US is one of the safest places on earth. Guess why?

Cases of bullets are flying off the shelves. Bravo for them for wanting to protect themselves from both criminals and a government going against its people. All who put their trust in big government should kick themselves.

The award has been presented annually since 1997 and is given to coaches whose actions "inside and outside the lines" of coaching have distinguished them as valuable members of their communities.
"To me, this is an award that I share proudly with Suffolk University ," said Nelson, who lives in Arlington with his wife Joan. " Suffolk University provided to me, those many years ago, an opportunity to work with young people in assisting their development academically, athletically, socially and ethically. I feel that this award is a reflection of that success and the role that I may have shared in those circumstances."
For nearly four decades, Jim Nelson has been an integral part of Suffolk University athletics. He began working at Suffolk in 1966 as an assistant director of athletics and men's assistant basketball coach, and in 1975 was named Director of Athletics. From 1976 until 1995, he was head coach of the men's basketball team.
In 1992, Nelson was selected as a member of the inaugural NABC Division III Congress, a position he holds presently, serving as the association's NCAA Legislative Advisor. Nelson also served as the National Chairman of the NCAA Division III Basketball Committee from 1997 through 1999. A highly respected individual in his profession, Nelson was named a 2005 Sports Ethic Fellow by the Institute for International Sport.
In addition to Nelson, two other extremely deserving coaches will be recognized at the NABC Convention with the Outstanding Service Award . They are: Joe Campoli ,
who coached at Ohio Northern University for 30 years, and is one of two coaches to lead their team to the NCAA Division III national title in their first season as head coach; and Jim Burson of Muskingum College in Ohio , who ends his 38-year coaching career at Muskingum as its all-time winningest coach with 542 victories.
"I am honored to be recognized by the National Association of Basketball Coaches along with my respected colleagues and friends Joe Campoli and Jim Burson," said Nelson. It is quite a special distinction to be placed in the same company with these two outstanding gentlemen and terrific coaches."
Suffolk University , located on Boston 's historic Beacon Hill, with campuses in Madrid , Spain and Dakar , Senegal ( Africa ), is a comprehensive global institution distinguished by its teaching and the intellectual contributions of its faculty. Suffolk offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs in more than 70 areas of study.

Bielema: Transition from Big Ten to SEC going well … so far
[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t's been just over five months since Bret Bielema jumped from Wisconsin to Arkansas, and other than his house being full of unpacked moving boxes, he seems to be settling in pretty nicely.
He's received a glowing reception at alumni events across the state, and a record crowd of 51,088 turned out as the Razorbacks wrapped up spring ball with Saturday's Red-White game.
Meeting with the media Monday for his post-spring wrap up, Bielema was clearly pleased with his team's progress. If given the chance, he said there's not a lot he'd do differently since taking over.
"To me, there are four major parts of your program," he said. "There is winter conditioning, spring ball, summer conditioning, and how you handle the fall. We've been through the winter conditioning program. We've gone through spring ball.
"I wouldn't go back and change anything there … I really liked the way we handled spring practice and the attitude that our kids approached it with."
The focus for the next eight weeks shifts to the weight room, followed by summer conditioning. Then comes the hard part.
Arkansas opens the season with four non-conference games before a four-week stretch from Sept. 28 to Oct. 19 in which the Razorbacks play Texas A&M, at Florida, South Carolina and at Alabama. Welcome to the SEC, Coach.
Coming off a 4-8 season and a with new coaching staff, Bielema isn't surprised that Arkansas isn't the talk of the college football world. It doesn't bother him; in fact, he embraces it.
He sees lots of similarities between the Razorbacks and when he replaced Barry Alvarez in 2006.
"Going into fall, it reminds me a lot of when I took over at Wisconsin," he said. "Now, we finished that season 12-1, but we started the season ranked like 65th or 68th in the country because everybody thought we lost a lot of good players and had a new coach that they didn't know a lot about. That same thing now, but we are playing in not just the best conference but the best division in college football.
"I don't think a lot of people have their eyes on Arkansas right now. That's a position that we really like."
If year one with the Razorbacks goes anything like his first season at Wisconsin, Bielema will remain the toast of the town across the state. In the meantime, he offered a not-so-subtle reminder that the only game he's coached at Arkansas was against his own team.
"It's always easy to be liked when you're undefeated."
Allen is No. 1 QB
The coaches released a post-spring depth chart, and though the battle won't be settled until the fall, sophomore Brandon Allen got the nod over junior Brandon Mitchell at quarterback.
Last season, Allen (6-3, 212) appeared in five games and made one start, finishing the year 21-of-49 passing for 186 yards and a touchdown. His ability to take care of the football and avoid negative plays was the difference during spring ball.
"Brandon Allen, from the first week to the game on Saturday, made progress all the way along. The last two weeks have been exceptional," Bielema said. "Brandon Mitchell does a lot of good things as well. The one thing that we can't do is we can't turn the football over. We can't create negative plays on our own, and I think Brandon Allen did a better job of that and has progress in a way to put him in that position."
Mitchell, a 6-foot-4, 230-pound redshirt junior, moved to wide receiver last season and caught 17 passes for 272 yards. Bielema hasn't ruled out the possibility of some special packages at quarterback to take advantage of his athleticism, and/or a move back to receiver.
"With Brandon Mitchell at quarterback, he definitely has some special gifts that we can use," he said. "If there's another role, another position we can use him at, we'll work together on that."
Happy with his staff
Only two of Bielema's on-field assistants at Wisconsin — defensive coordinator Chris Ash and defensive line coach Charlie Partridge — joined him at Arkansas, along with strength coach Ben Herbert and director of operations Mark Taurisani.
He spoke with "a couple" of his former offensive assistants about joining him at Arkansas, but not offensive coordinator Matt Canada.
"Let's put it this way, I brought the coaches with me from Wisconsin that I wanted to bring with me and establish myself down here," he said.
Bielema felt it was important to bring in some influences from other geographic areas. He's been "blown away" by how well the staff has jelled.
"To get this group together, they are a really good group of guys," he said. "They enjoy the game and they enjoy being around our kids. I think that rubs off on (the players)."
NFL film study
"One of the things that I love and I know our defensive coaches in particular and (offensive coordinator) Jim Chaney does this, is give the guys some pro cut-ups. Some teams that we are trying to do the same concepts. If you see an NFL guy doing it, you tend to buy into it a little bit better, or want to be engaged with it."
Focus on lifting, eating right
Bielema gives players an eight-week buffer both before and after spring ball to focus on weight room development.
"Coach Herbert has done a big sell job on me on this one," he said. "If your body is given an eight-week window to change, it will change.
"With development and nutrition, we tried to give them eight weeks on the front end before we started spring ball and now we will go into another eight weeks into the summer. This is the time when our guys grow as much as anytime in their entire careers."
Areas of strength
Coming out of spring, Bielema said the Razorbacks' strongest position groups are the defensive line (both ends and and the tackles) and safeties. The three starting linebackers have no starting experience, but played really well in the spring and were a positive surprise. He says there's talent at cornerback, but that the depth "needs to continue to build and develop."
On offense, he's excited about the running backs on campus, as well as the two freshman backs coming that have a chance to play as freshmen. He was also pleased with the way the offensive line, tight ends, fullbacks came together to block in the running game.
