Bragg, Seymour Johnson welcome troops home
Posted December 20, 2011
Updated December 21, 2011
Fayetteville, N.C. — North Carolina military bases held two homecomings Tuesday for troops returning after overseas deployments.
Dozens of airmen returned home to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro from Afghanistan, where they were deployed for several months.
The 72 airmen are members of the 335th and 336th Fighter Squadrons. Twelve arrived in six fighter jets in the early afternoon, and the others returned later in the day.
Excited crowds and family members held signs and cheered them upon their return.
"I'm very excited. Now, it feels real," said Lisa Barger, who was at the air base to greet her husband. "With all of the phone calls and emails saying that they might be coming home early, to actually be standing here, it's something that I know they're not going to take away now."
Air Force Capt. Tadzwell Barger was excited to meet his daughter for the first time.
"She got big fast," he said. "She looks a lot older than I expected."
The airmen aren't scheduled for another deployment for several months, officials said.
Another 50 airmen were expected to return to the base on Thursday.
Family and friends gathered at Fort Bragg Tuesday evening to welcome about 200 members of the 82nd Airborne Division's 2nd Brigade Combat Team, which is the last U.S. brigade to return from Baghdad, Iraq.
The excitement was building on base as Denise Lee waited to see her husband for the first time in seven months. She said his return couldn't come at a better time.
"It means everything. This is Christmas time. This is really the most important time of the year to be around your family," Lee said. "For (our children) to have their Daddy home, it really is the greatest gift that they could have."
Army Sgt. Joshua Martinez returned from Iraq last week after a seven-month deployment to find his home dressed up for the holidays and a "Welcome Home Daddy" banner on the garage door.
"It's kind of one of those moments when you just can't help but smile," Martinez said Tuesday. "It's them showing you that they really do care."
The 25-year-old combat medic had deployed three times to Iraq, including the troop surge of four years ago when peace in that nation seemed violently elusive. Final Bragg troops welcomed home from Iraq
"I thought it was pretty cool to be part of the surge and then part of actually being one of the last troops out of Iraq – kind of like closure," he said. "Whenever the history books are being written, I'll be part of it. So, it's something to look forward to."
Martinez has never deployed anywhere else, and it's unlikely he'll ever return to the country where he's given so much of his life.
"I guess a change of scenery is always nice," he said with a laugh.
Byanca Martinez said she worried that her husband wouldn't be home for Christmas. But then, she and Zander, the couple's 22-month-old son, found themselves at Pope Airfield on Dec. 11 with hundreds of other families and so many emotions.
"You're anxious and nervous – you feel everything – and then you see all of the other families there. You can't help but tear up," she said. "It's a relief (to have him home), but he's still in the Army. He could still be deployed to Afghanistan. It's still scary."

Chafic was very accommodating. I stayed here for my bachelorette party and it was just what we needed. The location was close enough to the boardwalk that we could walk with no problem. The apartment fit 9 of us comfortably. I would definitely stay here again.
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. This place has a good amount of space to hang out and tons of space to sleep in. The location couldn't be better, it's right in the middle of everything. If you can manage to fill the beds up it's a real bargain as well.
Very nice! Plenty of room very spacious. The owner was very nice and helped meet all of our needs. I would suggest this for anyone traveling to ac in a group. Very close to sub shop best in the world.
We (a group of four couples) stayed in the "penthouse" apartment for a long weekend over the summer, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The apartment was large enough for all of us to have our own space (two showers was a plus!), with a big enough living room/kitchen area for us all to hang out together. It was also close enough to walk to the casinos/boardwalk/beach! The rental price was very reasonable, and parking was easy. Chafic was very accomodating and we would recommend this apartment to anyone.
Chafic is an amazing person! I came to AC to celebrate my 21st birthday with a group of friends, Chafic offered to pick us up from our bus stop and drop us off to the apartment. We were amazed at the deal we got for all that the home came with.... seven beds, a full kitchen, a fridge, all utilities. You really can't go wrong with the price, especially if you compare it to the ridiculous prices all these hotels charge. Another plus, it is conveniently located near many of the resorts and casinos! we walked everywhere! I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone!
Highly recommend this rental! Chafic was so kind, easy going, accommodating and responsive. The apartment is in a very ideal location just a few blocks from Caesars, Trump, restaurants and the outlets. We stayed over New Years Eve weekend and the apartment was a perfect choice. Easily could sleep and accommodate 12-14 people. We will certainly rent with Chafic again!

Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson and the Minnesota Judicial Branch are petitioning Ramsey County District Court Judge Kathleen Gearin to issue an order keeping Minnesota's court system operating if state government shuts down.
The petition says the separation of powers doctrine requires the state of Minnesota to pay for court services. The petition asks the judge to require Minnesota Management and Budget to pay for such obligations if there's a state government shut down on July 1.
Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Lorie Gildea released this statement on the petition.
"We take this action today because we believe it is in the best interests of the people we serve, the five million Minnesotans who are guaranteed access to justice that is delivered promptly and without delay," Gildea said in a statement. "I want to emphasize that we are requesting court action only in the event our budget situation is not resolved by July 1 through an appropriation, which is our preferred resolution."
This is the third petition submitted to Gearin. Swanson submitted a petition earlier this week to keep some executive branch services running if a shutdown occurred. Governor Dayton submitted his own petition earlier this week.
Gearin will hold a hearing next Thursday on the request.
State government will shut down if Dayton and GOP legislative leaders fail to reach a budget compromise by July 1.
Here's the petition:

In an effort to deflect the Greek government's unconscionable irresponsibility, Greece's Prime Minister George Papandreou told CNN he "is considering taking legal action against U.S. investment banks that might have contributed to the country's debt crisis."
Really? So let me get this straight. Greece has been borrowing money from other countries and spending more than they were making in tax receipts, yet they want to pass the blame onto US banks? They are receiving bailout money from the US and they want to sue us? Give me a while plate to break.
We all know political rhetoric is the art of lying and blame-shifting. But President Obama needs to tell Papandreou to go screw himself. The Prime Minister is correct that US banks should be shamed for their crimes, but US banks did not dictate Greek fiscal policy to take money from others and blow it. Moreover, the Greek government's attitude toward borrowing and spending is much like that of US consumers who leveraged their homes without care for how they'd pay off the loans.
Seems to me Papandreou and his colleagues need to look in the mirror. Time to face the facts, buddy: you are the only ones responsible for lying to your citizens about how your entitlements worked … now go put out the fires you started.

The Massachusetts-1 (MA-1) Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) is a cadre of professional and paraprofessional medical personnel designed to provide medical care during a disaster or other event. DMATs are designed to be a rapid-response element to supplement local medical care until other Federal or contract resources can be mobilized. DMATs deploy with 35 personnel, including doctors, advanced practice nurses, physician's assistants (PAs), nurses, paramedics, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), and communication specialists. They carry sufficient supplies and equipment to be self-sustaining for a period of 72 hours while providing medical care at a fixed or temporary site.
MA-1 Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) at Port-au-Prince airport.
MA-1 was activated on Wednesday, January 13, 2010, to deploy to the devastated Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince. On Sunday, January 17th, MA-1 DMAT had established a field hospital in the courtyard of Quisqueya University alongside members of an International Medical Surgical Response Team (IMSuRT). Over the next seven days, the combined MA-1 and IMSuRT team saw 505 patients, delivered nine babies (including one set of twins), performed 66 surgical procedures, and had one death. MA-1 was demobilized and returned to Boston on January 26th. At this time the Quisqueya Field Hospital is still operating, staffed by another DMAT and IMSuRT team.

By the Editors
Ten lots of albuterol inhalation solution (0.083%) are being voluntarily recalled "as a precautionary measure" because of findings from the manufacturer's internal monitoring processes.
The company, Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation, does not specify what was found during its "aseptic process simulation," but it advises consumers to stop using albuterol from the affected lots (the lot numbers are listed in the company's press release).
No adverse events have been reported.

Cass McCombs, a sixth generation Californian, has produced seven and a half albums in his decade-long career. Since his emergence at a 2003 Peel session, McCombs' provocative and vibrant songs have been covered by numerous artists, including Bob Weir and The National, who performed "Love Thine Enemy" in 2012. McCombs'work appears in diverse venues, from Thomas Campbell's 2009 surf film "The Present," to the Democracy Now News Hour, where in 2011, McCombs debuted the song "Bradley Manning". Often misconstrued as a solo artist, McCombs' music is built within a community of essential collaborators, including long-time band members Dan "Buddy" Iead (guitar/pedal steel guitar) and Jon Shaw (bass), actress/singer Karen Black, light designers The Yellow Book Strangers, and visual artist Albert Herter. McCombs' most recent album is Big Wheel and Others (2013), a collection of 22 songs, featuring contributing musicians Mike Gordon (Phish), Joe Russo (Furthur), and Joan Wasser (Joan as Police Woman), co-engineered by Ariel Rechtshaid, and mixed by JR White (Girls). Anti-genre, McCombs' songs are unearthed to illuminate human rawness and hypocrisy, to express !!!! in the universe.

Behind a 41-save effort from sophomore goalie Marc Cheverie and two goals from sophomore Kyle Ostrow, the No. 2 Denver Pioneers scored a tough 3-1 victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes in front of 6,041 fans at Magness Arena in Denver.
DU started strong from the first set, using their speed to buzz Buckeyes' goaltender Dustin Carlson. On the first shift, Tyler Ruegsegger tried to stuff the puck past Carlson in the crease and got leveled by a Buckeyes' defender.
Joe Colborne appeared to get his first collegiate goal off a beautiful rush from Tyler Bozak, but after a review, the referees ruled that Colborne was in the crease and interfered with Carlson.
"We're happy to get the win," said Pioneers' coach George Gwozdecky. "It's frustrating to see how many chances in the first period we blew by the net, but I have to say it's nice to have good goaltending, and Marc's given us that."
The disallowed goal seemed to take some zip out of the Pioneers, and Buckeyes started to tilt the action into the Pioneers' zone.
"We didn't react well to that," said Ostrow. "We thought it was a goal, and I guess when a goal gets taken away like that they get a little more momentum. I think we battled back though. They're a good team and they battled hard."
The Buckeyes had several good chances, but Cheverie stood tall when needed. The Buckeyes best chance came when Cheverie was out of position after making a save, but the rebound was knocked clear before the Buckeyes could pounce on it.
"Obviously having that goal called back early was important," said Buckeyes' coach John Markell. "We were doing the little things right to keep ourselves in the game, but their transition game was fantastic and quite honestly that's what caught us in the second period. I thought we worked quite hard the whole game, and it was a good road period."
"They were spectacular, but he doesn't make them look like he's overextending himself," said Gwozdecky. "He's very efficient, he's playing with great confidence, and that's what you need. His body language and the way he's playing really gives confidence to the guys on the ice and the guys on the bench."
"I thought our decision-making with the puck was very poor," said Gwozdecky. "At times, forced pucks into areas that had no chance of getting through."
Denver came out with more zip in the second. Ruegsegger just missed a wrist show top shelf stick side off a beautiful pass from Patrick Mullen.
Even shorthanded, the Pioneers' transition game seemed to tire the Buckeyes. Mullen just missed a one-timer wide left off a beautiful cross-crease pass from Colborne.
The Pioneers finally got on the board while on a five-on-three power play. Standing behind the net, Luke Salazar stepped out to his right and spied Anthony Maiani coming down from the left point. As Maiani reached the left circle, Salazar slid him a pass and Maiani one-timed it top shelf stick side at 10:48.
Moments later, while on the second part of the power play, Bozak almost got a goal from the top of the crease on a great pass from Rhett Rakhshani, but Carlson made an excellent save.
The Pioneers' transition game victimized the Buckeyes again late in the second. From the right-side boards near the blue line, Mullen tried to feed a pass to Ostrow, but the pass got ahead of Ostrow to Brian Gifford on the far right side, setting up a two-on-one for Gifford and Ostrow. Gifford raced down the left side and fed a perfect pass to Ostrow near the left side crease, and Ostrow beat Carlson top shelf glove side at 16:36.
"We had a little regroup in neutral zone there, 'D' to 'D', and Mullen tried to make me that pass," said Ostrow. "It hit Gifford on the far side and he had a lot of speed going to the net and made a nice pass."
From there, Denver started to clamp down a little defensively, cutting down on the shots they were giving up to the Buckeyes.
"I think just getting pucks out of the zone and controlling the play gives you an easier transition to offense and better defense," said Mullen.
Ohio State finally broke Cheverie's shutout bid at 6:00 of the third on their own five-on-three power-play goal, a beautiful tic-tac-toe setup.
Standing near the goal line on the right side boards, Corey Elkins took a pass from Shane Sims on the right point and fed Matt Bartkowski at the left point, and Bartkowski rifled a wrist shot past Cheverie.
However, Ostrow got the two-goal lead back at 8:17 on a singular effort. Ostrow raced down the left side boards and cut hard to the net, looking for a pass through the crease to linemate Jesse Martin. The Buckeyes' defense took away that option, and Ostrow instead shifted the puck to his backhand as he hit the crease and shoved it on net. Carlson made the initial save, but a made scramble ensued, and the puck ended up in the back of the net.
"I just got out of the penalty box and Anthony (Maiani) chipped it out and gave me a nice pass," said Ostrow. "I came down two-on-one with Martin and was looking for him the whole time, and I went to the net and stuffed it in. It seemed like the D-man came in and tried to stop and maybe hit the puck in the net. It was a little lucky, and we needed that goal."
"I haven't seen the goal, and they didn't review it, so I don't know how it happened, but obviously it was a momentum-buster for us," said Markell.
The Buckeyes still put pressure on Denver, and a late power play opportunity, and with a minute left Markell pulled Carlson, but Cheverie made two strong saves and the Pioneers' defensemen blocked several shots to preserve the win.
"You can talk transition all you want, but if you don't have the skill set to pull it off, it doesn't happen," said Gwozdecky. "You have to have speed, good puck management, on-ice vision, and the ability to be able to anticipate offense before you actually get it. That split-second, especially with a team that can skate well like ours, makes a whole world of difference.
"Our ability to be able to generate enough goals to give (Cheverie) the cushion so he knows he doesn't have to pitch the shutout every night is important. I think this team has the ability to give Marc the lead or at least enough goals where it doesn't put a burden on his shoulders."

Cutting Carbohydrates
Diets that eliminate all carbohydrates will cause you to gain weight in the end if it's the only thing sliming you down. You need carbs or oligosaccharides (complex carbs) to protect cells and have energy to live, and if you deprive yourself long enough—binging will follow. Try cutting down on simple carbs of monosaccharides and disaccharides like sugary foods from drinks and candy.


text: Well the time is here. I have been absent in my blogging for some time. Most of it has been due to school and/or training. I recently finished the Texas Man Series Olympic Triathlon. The water was cold and not the most ideal conditions but I stuck through it and competed. As soon as Ironman Texas 2014 registration opened I signed up. The only way I would force myself to train is if I had a goal in sight. Now that I paid the crazy fee I might as well become an Ironman. I am also training for Ironman 70.3 Austin and 70.3 Galveston. I plan to do the Houston half or full marathon, I haven't fully decided yet.

The theme of this weekend's St. Patrick's Parade in Old Metairie is "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow."
And there couldn't be a more appropriate title for the 43rd annual parade as the members of the parade's committee honor its founder, president and longtime captain, John Marchese, as grand marshal.
"When the parade committee told me that I would be this year's grand marshal, I tell you I was shocked. I never expected it," said Marchese, a resident of Metairie. "I am really very honored and looking forward to having a wonderful time."
Marchese retired last year as the group's president and captain after spending 42 years at the helm of the organization he started in 1970. At the age of 95, Marchese said it was time to step down.
"I love this organization," Marchese said. "But I felt that after all these years, it was time for someone else to take over. And at 95, some of our younger members of the St. Patrick Parade Committee should have a chance to run things."
"After all his years of hard work, selecting Johnny as the grand marshal was something all of us on the committee wanted to do, " added Donald Bock, a longtime member of the St. Patrick Parade committee who now, along with member Dan Civello, now serve as co-captains of the parade. "I came up with this year's theme as a way of honoring Johnny. And everyone agrees that it's the perfect theme."
The parade begins at noon, Sunday on Severn Avenue near Archbishop Rummel High School.
It rolls south on Severn, turning left, or east, onto Metairie Road. It will proceed down Metairie, turning left or north onto Focis Street. It will disband at Focis and Canal Streets.
Prior to the parade, the annual presentation of the shillelagh will be held on Friday beginning at noon at Fulco's, 519 North Turnbull Drive, Metairie.
The event will include music, dancing, soft drinks, green beer and food.
Reigning as queen of the parade will be Marchese's wife of 73 years, Dorothy.
"I don't like being in the limelight," Dorothy Marchese said. "But this is something special the group is doing for Johnny, and he's so happy about being grand marshal, I couldn't say no."
Marchese said he remembers very well the first year the St. Patrick parade rolled.
"To be honest with you, it was awful," he said.
"We just didn't have enough walking groups or floats. But with some help from others more experienced that I was back then, we had 30 to 40 units the second year and today, we have more than 110 units participating in the parade."
Over the years, Marchese said several people have suggested to him to move the parade to the traditional parade route along Veterans Memorial Boulevard. Marchese has always said no.
"Because there are so many businesses and homes near our route along Metairie Road, the people really come out and support us," Marchese said.
"You can't believe how many people you see along Metairie Road who are out barbecuing, setting up tables filled with food and drinks and enjoying music. It is just a great atmosphere. To me, it's just magical."
Bock, who has known and been friends with Marchese for many years, said he doesn't know how Marchese was able to single-handedly manage each and every detail of the parade.
"There is so much to do to organize this parade — I don't know how Johnny did it," said Bock, who is also the group's treasurer. "He had some people help him with a few things but basically, Johnny ran the entire parade, from start to finish. He's a remarkable person.
"Johnny has so many wonderful attributes but I think his sincerity and his love for people is what really stands out.
"He has the kind of personality that he just loves everyone he meets and in turn, those he meets love him right back."
The Marcheses have two sons, one daughter and several grandchildren. And on Sunday, the couple will ride on a float designated just for them.
"In all the years I have been a part of this parade, this is my first time riding on a float," Marchese said. "I have always walked the route, so being above the crowd will really be different. I know that when we make that turn on Metairie Road, it will be a wonderful sight. I can't wait."

Two days before #Jan25 I was reading twitter and got very excited. I realized we could be a on a brink of revolutions sweeping North Africa and the Middle East that could affect more than 15 countries and hundreds of millions of people.
So I created a website: RevolutionTrends.org
The goals for the site are
- Predict where revolutions will succeed
- Promote nonviolent democratic revolution
- Educate
- Share our findings (open source and open data)
- Facilitate cross-country comparisons
- Create charts, maps, and other info graphics
- Real Time tracking – using twitter, intrade (a prediction market), google searches and other trends. If anyone has suggestions for the project or wants to get account and write or comment on pages, let me know!

With just over a week to go before starting their 2013 MLS campaign, Real Salt Lake's opening-day roster is finally taking shape as the Claret-and-Cobalt have officially added GK Josh Saunders and MF Khari Stephenson to the mix. In an offseason where RSL brass clearly focused on adding young talent, Stephenson and Saunders bring a healthy dose of veteran leadership and experience to the team. Let's take a look at who these players are, what they bring to the table, and what roles they could fill throughout the year.
Stephenson is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder who has been playing professionally since he was picked 28th overall in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft by the Fire. After a brief stop in Kansas City, he decided to try his luck overseas and spent several years in Scandinavia with a couple of clubs. In 2010 he came back to MLS with San Jose and spent a total of three seasons there. He was a regular for the 'Quakes, appearing in 69 matches over three seasons and helping them win the Supporter's Shield last season.
The first thing you notice about Stephenson is that he doesn't look like an attacking mid - without knowing his position, you would probably guess he's a #9 or a center back. That's because, at 6'2", he towers over most creative mids. His size means he's difficult to separate from the ball, something that's not a strength of most MLS #10's. He has the good vision and solid technical ability requisite for his position, and he is willing and able to shoot from distance. We got our first taste of that a few nights ago as he struck a well-hit game-winner from 18 yards.
Stephenson is a versatile player who should be able to play three of the four midfield spots for RSL, and even fill in at striker in a pinch. He could be one of the first players off the bench for Jason Kreis, especially in matches where RSL is leading and needs to salt the game away. His strength on the ball and intelligent possession play should make him a valuable asset in those situations.
The 31-year-old Saunders is a guy who is well known by RSL fans - it was he who came into the 2009 MLS Cup final for L.A. in place of Donovan Ricketts. Of course, RSL came away victorious via penalties in that match, but it's hard to fault Saunders who saved two of seven RSL penalties. If it weren't for an even better performance from Nick Rimando, Saunders would have walked home a champion and a hero to L.A. fans. He didn't have to wait long, though; by 2011 Ricketts was gone and Saunders was the go-to guy, backstopping them to consecutive MLS Cup wins in 2011 and 2012.
Josh Saunders is your prototypical goalkeeper - huge (6'4"), athletic, and a vocal organizer of defenses. But what you have to love about Saunders - and no doubt appeals to Kreis too - is Saunders is a winner. As a pro he's been successful at the highest levels. Of course, soccer is a team sport and he's been fortunate to be on some great teams, but don't discount the confidence and attitude you get from a proven winner.
Saunders will be the clear No. 2 goalkeeper behind Nick Rimando. Obviously we hope Rimando stays healthy enough to play all year, but there are no guarantees, plus Rimando may miss some time if he gets called up by the U.S. national team for World Cup Qualifiers or this summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup. I would expect Saunders to get a handful of games this year in relief of Rimando. The addition of Saunders makes RSL's goalkeeper position the strongest in MLS in my opinion. How many other teams can say their backup GK has played in three MLS Cup finals, and won two of them?
How much of an impact Khari Stephenson and Josh Saunders make remains to be seen, but they will bring some needed experience and veteran savvy to this very young RSL squad.

The concept of open reduction and internal fixation of facial fractures is well accepted. However, there are situations in which an accurate reduction and restoration of facial symmetry is challenging. In these more difficult cases, the PI uses computer aided design/modeling software as well as intra-operative computer aided surgical navigation systems to assist with repair of these complex injuries. A retrospective review of these cases has not previously been performed.

MALDON and Tiptree boss Terry Spillane says he has experienced both sides of management in the last week – signing three new players but releasing three more.
Former Park Drive defender Danny Smith is back at the club, while right-back or winger Sipho Mtyando has joined from Grays Athletic and front man Grant Eagle has landed after spending last season with East Thurrock and Hornchurch.
On the flip side, Maldon have parted company with Michael Fitzgibbon (now Heybridge Swifts), Spencer Harrison and Bradley Vaughan.
"I've had both sides of the management game in the last week – the good and the bad," said Spillane.
"While it's nice to be able to announce new signings, I hate releasing players.
"It's a hard thing to do, especially when they're good lads.
"But I've got a strong squad at my disposal and the last thing I want is for anyone to be sitting around kicking their heels, then getting upset when they're not playing.
"They understand that and I'm certainly very happy with the players I've brought in.
"Danny is a right-back or centre-half who was Redbridge captain last year and used to play for Maldon.
"When I found out he was available, I went in for him straight away and I'm delighted to have him on board.
"Sipho caught my eye when we played against him last year.
"He's a powerful, strong runner who gets lots of crosses into the box and gives us something we haven't had for a while.
"He's also happy to get back and defend, which is very important.
"As for Grant, I'd describe him as a 'number ten' who remind me a lot of (ex-Maldon player) Joe Gardner.
"He's tricky on the ball, has a burst of speed and an eye for goal.
"He also works extremely hard and, again, offers us something different to what we've got at the moment."

Fell upon the Disstonian Institute over the weekend, and subsequently spent much of next few days trolling through its pages. Few websites are so dedicated and comprehensive in their coverage of a single manufacturer, in this case Disston Saws. Disston's history begins in the 1840s, when Henry Disston was freed at age 21 from his apprenticeship to saw makers William and Charles Johnson (by way of bankruptcy). The following years found Henry suffering set backs (like being swindled by a fraudulent landlord), but did not deter the man. Fires burned down his factories three times before 1850. Still, in 1855 he became the only saw manufacturer to make his own steel.
The resolve of its founder and superior quality of product made Disston the largest selling saw in America during the first half of the 20th-century. Success leads to a good story, all of which is contained in the Disstonian Institute, covering saws, stamps, and even advertising. A great American tale, and one worth spending time working through.
Some selected advertisements and examples of Disston backsaws after the jump.

Chingy Dating a Transsexual?
Rapper Chingy found himself back in the press recently, and not for his music. According to reports, a transsexual female by the name of Foxxjazzel claims to have had an intimate relationship with the 29-year-old.
In a recent radio interview, Foxxjazzel stated that she and Chingy got together on more than one occasion. Calling him by his first name, Howard Bailey Jr., she said that she met the rapper in 2003 through a mutual friend and that their relationship was initially a one night stand. "It started off as one night and it turned into one of those things," she started. "We met at a party. He didn't know I was [a] tranny." Chingy allegedly found out of her transsexual gender later on but continued to see her. The interview continued with various sexual references to the kind of sex that the two had. "He liked it anyway I gave it to him."
"I have messed with celebrity boys before. I respect people but when they cross that line, I [have] to put you on blast." Eluding to the fact that Chingy made her upset by failing to properly acknowledge their situation, Foxxjazzel also said that she was not the first transsexual that he as been with. "If you do your research on this person, you can see the facts there."
Chingy responded to the rumors via video. "I wake up to people hittin' me up about some radio show. I don't have a secret lifestyle, what is you talkin' about? I didn't know that somebody could actually hate a [expletive] that much. But I'm takin' applications and I'm lookin' for 100 haters a day," the rapper angrily professed.
"That's just out of line to put some up there knowing that you are telling a lie," Chingy said. "And the transsexual, I don't even know that person, I never seen that person before in my life. The only thing that person knew was my real name and who don't know my real name? I same my name in all of my raps!"
Made popular by his 2003 hit 'Right Thurr,' Chingy was initially signed to rapper Ludacris' record label through Def Jam record. He later severed business ties with the record company.
The rapper is due to release his latest 'Everything and Nothing' later this year.

Antipsychotic medications to treat schizophrenia are effective in reducing symptoms and preventing hospitalization. However, only 50-60 percent of patients treated for schizophrenia follow their medication regimen for extended periods, with only 12 percent of Medicaid-insured patients staying on their medications for a full year. Yet, failing to refill medication within even just 10 days is associated with an increased risk of hospitalization, according to a new study.
The Harvard Medical School researchers analyzed the Medicaid and Medicare claims data of 1,191 patients with schizophrenia from the Maine and New Hampshire Medicaid programs. The researchers used Medicaid pharmacy claims data to determine to what extent gaps in taking atypical antipsychotic medications, medication switching, and augmentation with additional antipsychotic drugs were related to hospitalization risk. Of the individuals whose records were studied, 552 were hospitalized over 3 years, including 371 for mental health problems and 315 for schizophrenia.
Compared with patients who continued to refill their medication, those who missed refilling their medication for as little as 10 days had a significant 54 percent increased risk of hospitalization for mental health problems and a 77 percent higher risk of hospitalization for schizophrenia. Those patients whose medication gaps were longer than 30 days were 60 percent and 49 percent more likely to be hospitalized for mental health problems and schizophrenia, respectively. Given that higher risk of hospitalization occurs within 10 days of a missed prescription refill, immediate action to increase adherence as early as possible might lower the risk of schizophrenia relapse.
The study was funded in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality for the Centers for Research and Education in Therapeutics (CERT) (HS10391). For more information on the CERTs program, go to http://www.ahrq.govhttp://certs.hhs.gov/about/certsovr.htm.

The ASIAN BANKING SCHOOL (ABS) is the industry provider of premium professional certification and capability development programmes. Dedicated to developing talent, it specializes in professional banking education and serves as a channel for intellectual content and thought leadership for the banking sector.
Created for the industry by the industry as an independent entity, ABS was built upon the decades-long experience of the Institute of Bankers Malaysia (IBBM) in delivering professional qualifications and training programmes. It was registered in 2012 and after its official launch by the then Bank Negara Malaysia Governor at the end of 2013, ABS started full operations in August 2015.
At the helm of ABS is Chief Executive Officer Professor Colyn Gardner, who has had a long illustrious career immersed in banking. He has been a practising banker, a banking consultant to many of the world's largest banks and organisations, an innovative training course developer, a professor of banking, a successful Conference Speaker on banking topics and a corporate client of banks. He founded and built several companies that have listed on the London Stock Exchange, including DC Gardner Group plc; the largest and leading banking training consultancy of its time, and a name that is still respected around the world today. His entrepreneurial and innovative spirit, commitment and strength in the areas of talent development will see him steering ABS towards its strategic direction in delivering highly regarded training for banking professionals internationally.
As one of the industry's preferred partner in learning and development, ABS offers industry relevant training programmes that cover a comprehensive list of banking areas and are designed and developed in-house by our Specialist Training Consultancy Team or in collaboration with strategic learning partners that includes some of the top business schools in the world. It also provides specialised consulting services and tailored learning solutions to meet the specific needs of our clients; with executive education offerings already being planned for in the near future.
ABS works closely with the Asian Institute of Chartered Bankers in raising competency standards for the banking industry through the delivery of training and exams for professional qualifications developed and awarded by the professional body.
ABS also plays a significant role in enriching the talent pipeline for the financial services sector through the industry recognised Financial Sector Talent Enrichment Programme (FSTEP).
Guided by the transformation blueprint for the Malaysian banking education landscape, it is the aim of ABS to innovate the approach of developing talent, and in turn raise the calibre and dynamism of professionals in the industry.

Huth's 'The Lost Art of Finding Our Way': An odd and very enjoyable book
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military from 1991 to 2008 for the Wall Street Journal and then the Washington Post. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
On my recent foray to New York City, I finished reading John Edward Huth's The Lost Art of Finding Our Way. It is best described as an anthropological history of navigation, written by a Harvard physicist.
In his chapter on waves, he writes that, "there is almost a boundless amount of information hidden in plain view, if only the meaning can be deciphered." In essence, he argues that our ancestors often understood their world better than we do ours. Today, he notes, many of us have our heads locked inside two-foot bubbles that only communicate with other humans, most of them very similar to us. For example, Eskimos, even when fogbound, know to look for the patterns winter winds carve in the snow. If the prevailing winds are from the west, the lines are likely to point on a north-south axis. Similarly, Pacific Islanders sailing in the dark used to know to look into the ocean waters for the phosphorescent trails left by large predatory fish, who swim toward islands at night.
There also are lots of tidbits that I enjoyed. For example, I didn't know that Polaris, the North Star, is far more important than it was several thousand years ago. In the time of Homer, Huth writes, "Polaris was just a minor star that was 11 degrees away from the Pole and inconsequential. There are few if any references to Polaris in antiquity."
More broadly, the use of stars in navigation did not come into its own, at least in the West, until fairly recently. "A full realization of the power of celestial navigation didn't emerge until the latter half of the 18th century," he writes. Nautical twilight was the most important half-hour of the day for a ship at sea because that was when the brighter stars began to emerge while the horizon was still apparent, making it possible for a navigator to compare his dead reckoning calculations against his celestial fixes, which in turn would tell him how much current and leeway were affecting his vessel's movement.
He also offhandedly notes that Oklahoma is North America's "tornado alley" because that is where the dry, cool continental air mass tangles with the warm, wet maritime air moving north from the Gulf of Mexico.
Huth is a refreshingly clear writer. I love maps and charts. Just yesterday I sat down with a nautical chart and for half an hour read it like it was a newspaper. I mention this because I see "MLLW" on nautical charts all the time, and I knew that those letters stand for "mean lower low water," but until I read his explanation I didn't understand what it meant and how it differed from the "lowest astronomical tide" used on British charts.
What does all this have to do with defense or foreign policy? I am not sure, but I feel it belongs here in this blog because it is about how we orient ourselves to the world around us. And writing about it is more fun that mourning the erosion of the First and Fourth Amendments.
