Major Departures:
LB Bart Scott, S LaRon Landry, DT Mike Devito, NT Sione Pou'ha, S Eric Smith, LB Bryan Thomas, OL Jason Smith and TE Josh Baker, RB Shonn Greene, TE Dustin Keller.
A handful of fan favorites will likely play elsewhere in 2013 as the Jets cleared much-needed cap space. Idzik used the financial flexibility to start building a new core on offense, defense and special teams. While most of these moves weren't the most popular with the Jets' fan base, the long-term impact will be far reaching and help New York build sustainable success for years to come.
Grade: B
Major Free Agents Signings
RB Mike Goodson, QB David Garrard, LB Calvin Pace, WR Zach Rogers, TE Keller Winslow Jr., S Dawan Landry, OT Austin Howard, TE Jeff Cumberland, LB Antwan Barnes, NT Antonio Garay, OL Willie Colon, OG Stephen Peterman
Analysis:The Jets upgraded their talented across the board without taking on any hefty price tags. When GM John Idzik stepped into New York's front office, the team had a wide array of issues they needed to address. Gang Green wasted little time in gutting its roster and making way for a new wave of playmakers. While Goodson's arrest and Garrard's sudden retirement are certainly blemishes on Idzik's early track record, the free agency period was a fairly successful one for New York.
Grade: B-
Traded CB Darrelle Revis to Tampa Bay for a 2013 first-round draft pick and a conditional 2014 draft pick.
RB Chris vory was traded on draft day from the New Orleans Saints to the New York Jets in exchange for Gang Green's fourth round draft pick, No 106 overall.
In a blockbuster move, the Jets sent their All-Pro cornerback packing in order to free up cap space and stockpile draft picks. While losing a future first ballot Hall-of-Famer is never easy, the Jets secondary finished No. 2 in the NFL in 2012 without Revis. Gang Green drafted cornerback Dee Milliner No. 9 overall and while he will have huge shoes to fill, New York took a good first step in shoring up its defensive backfield. The Jets also had their sights set on Ivory and swung a draft day trade to pick up the talented but seldom-used former Saints running back. Ivory will be a major shot in the arm for a Jets running game that stalled at times last season.
Grade: B+
The Draft:
CB Dee Milliner (Rd. 1| Pick No. 9) University of Alabama
DT Sheldon Richardson (Rd. 1 |Pick No. 13) University of Missouri
QB Geno Smith (Rd. 2 |Pick No. 39) West Virginia University
OG Brian Winters (Rd. 3 | Pick No. 72) Kent State
OG Oday Aboushi (Rd. 5 | Pick No. 141) Virginia
OG Will Campbell (Rd. 6 | Pick No. 178) Michigan
FB Tommy Bohanon (Rd. 7 | Pick No. 215) Wake Forest
In a move that shocked many draft pundits, cornerback Dee Milliner dropped into the Jets lap at No. 9 overall. New York used the draft pick it acquired from Tampa Bay to select versatile defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson. Gang Green made the biggest splash of the draft by selecting talented, but raw quarterback Geno Smith in the second round to compete with Mark Sanchez. After the Smith pick, the Jets addressed their leaky offensive line by taking guards with their next three picks. With their final selection in the 2013 NFL draft, New York took fullback Tommy Bohanon, who is expected to compete with Lex Hilliard for the starting job. Idzik's first draft saw a lot of big prospects fly the Jets way, but only time will tell if they will make a major impact during their rookie year.
Grade: A-
Coaching Changes:
GM Mike Tannenbaum, offensive coordinator Tony Sparano, offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo, quarterbacks coach Tom Cavanaugh, defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, special teams coach Mike Westhoff retired.
GM John Idzik, named Rod Graves senior director of football administration, named Marty Morhinweg offensive coordinator, reassigned Dennis Thurman to defensive coordinator, named David Lee to quarterbacks coach, named Tim McDonald defensive backs coach, reassigned Mike Devlin to offensive line coach, named Steven Hagen Tight ends coach, named Ben Kotwica special teams coordinator.
In a classic example of addition by subtraction, the Jets relieved Sparano of his coordinating duties and welcomed Mornhinweg's West Coast system to the Big Apple. Rex Ryan promised he will be more actively involved in the defensive playcalling; helping Thurman in his first year as coordinator. The most dramatic shift occurred when Idzik took over for former GM Tannenbuam and retooled a meager depth chart. The Jets are well on their way to rebuilding their roster back to playoff contention starting with new leadership along the sidelines.

morgan 41 IO?
I have a Morgan OI33. If you want alot of info on the 41 join the Morgan email group here on sailnet and there are a ton of people that have the 41 that can answer your questions. Rob
morgan 41 IO?
I have an OI 33 and its alittle slow, and it would never win a race, except maybe against another Morgan 33 OI. But if you want a comfortable cruising boat that is WIDE beamed - my 33'' is 12'' with no wasted space to it. And with the skinny water down here I can go places others can''t with my 4'' depth on a full keel.
If you are not in a hurry, you will enjoy the 41'' OI.....
morgan 41 IO?
I recall sailing past a OI 41 with my little C&C 30 coming out of Quicks Hole and headed up to the Vinyard. Now this is Valhala to a real sailor and we check the tides and all and it''s a big deal to me.
The OI 41 was hardly moving in the light air and I had up a big genny and all so we passed them. I suppose at the rate they were going they had to motor to get to port that summer day.
However I was just in Florida and walked past a small marina and among the dozen or so boats there 3 of them were OI 41''s. Thinking about it if I was living there year around on my boat and in no hurry the OI 41 would be a good deal. Of the wind in a breeze I expect they will sail OK.
I take it back. I could never live with a dog like that. But my friend who lives aboard there said: "Down here they are popular up North you can''t give them away".
If the price is right you can always sell it and get another boat if you don''t like it.

OK team, how about the walkover center cockpit ketch version. I am looking at an early 70''s xcharter, any fundamental defects or other worries with this model??Do you really have to have an engine to sail upwind??I am a racer of Jboats, and off to coastal cruise, with island dreams...all comments welcome...thanks

Homeland Security:
Addressing Weaknesses with Facility Security Committees Would Enhance Protection of Federal Facilities
GAO-10-901: Published: Aug 5, 2010. Publicly Released: Aug 5, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
To accomplish its mission of protecting about 9,000 federal facilities, the Federal Protective Service (FPS) currently has a budget of about $1 billion, about 1,225 full-time employees, and about 15,000 contract security guards. However, protecting federal facilities and their occupants from a potential terrorist attack or other acts of violence remains a daunting challenge for the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Federal Protective Service. GAO has issued numerous reports on FPS's efforts to protect the General Services Administration's (GSA) facilities. This report (1) recaps the major challenges we reported that FPS faces in protecting federal facilities and discusses FPS's efforts to address them and (2) identifies an additional challenge that FPS faces related to the facility security committees (FSC), which are responsible for addressing security issues at federal facilities. This report is based primarily on our previous work and recent FPS interviews.
Since 2007, we have reported that FPS faces significant challenges with protecting federal facilities, and in response FPS has recently started to take steps to address some of them. In 2008, we reported that FPS does not use a risk management approach that links threats and vulnerabilities to resource requirements. Without a risk management approach that identifies threats and vulnerabilities and the resources required to achieve FPS's security goals, there is limited assurance that programs will be prioritized and resources will be allocated to address existing and potential security threats in an efficient and effective manner. FPS recently began implementing a new system referred to as the Risk Assessment Management Program (RAMP). This system is designed to be a central database for capturing and managing facility security information, including the risks posed to federal facilities and the countermeasures that are in place to mitigate risk. FPS expects that RAMP will enhance its approach to assessing risk, managing human capital, and measuring performance. Our July 2009 report on FPS's contract guard program also identified a number of challenges that the agency faces in managing its contract guard program, including ensuring that the 15,000 guards that are responsible for helping to protect federal facilities have the required training and certification to be deployed at a federal facility. In response to our report, FPS took a number of immediate actions with respect to contract guard management. For example, FPS has increased the number of guard inspections it conducts at federal facilities in some metropolitan areas and revised its guard training. We have not reviewed whether these actions are sufficient to fulfill our recommendations. Another area of continuing concern is that FPS continues to operate without a human capital plan and does not have an accurate estimate of its current and future workforce needs. In our July 2009 report, we recommended that FPS develop a human capital plan to guide its current and future workforce planning efforts. While FPS agreed with this recommendation, it has not yet fully developed or implemented a human capital plan. As we reported in 2009, FPS's ability to protect GSA facilities is further complicated by the FSC structure. Each FSC includes FPS, GSA, and a tenant agency representative and is responsible for addressing security issues at its respective facility and approving the funding and implementation of security countermeasures recommended by FPS. However, there are several weaknesses with the FSC. First, FSCs have operated since 1995 without procedures that outline how they should operate or make decisions, or that establish accountability. Second, the tenant agency representatives to the FSC generally do not have any security knowledge or experience but are expected to make security decisions for their respective agencies. Third, many of the FSC tenant agency representatives also do not have the authority to commit their respective organizations to fund security countermeasures. No actions have been taken on these issues since our 2009 report, and thus these weaknesses continue to result in ad hoc security and increased risk at some federal facilities. GAO recommends that the Secretary of DHS direct the Director of FPS to work in consultation with other representatives of the FSC to develop and implement procedures that, among other things, outline the committees' organization structure, operations, and accountability. DHS concurred with GAO's recommendation.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In 2009, GAO reported that facility security committees (FSC), which are responsible for addressing security issues at federal facilities, have complicated Federal Protective Service's (FPS) ability to protect federal facilities under the control or custody of General Services Administration (GSA). FSCs have operated since 1995 without guidelines, policies, or procedures that outline how they should operate, make decisions, or establish accountability. This results in ad hoc security that undermines effective protection of individual facilities as well as the entire facilities' portfolio. Consequently, there is a lack of assurance that federal facilities under the control and custody of GSA are effectively protected by FPS. GAO recommended that FPS work with GSA and the Interagency Security Committee (ISC) to develop and implement procedures that, among other things, outline the FSC's organizational structure, operations, decision-making authority, and accountability. In response to our recommendation, on July 6, 2011, the ISC, in consultation with FPS and GSA released "Facility Security Committees: An Interagency Security Committee Standard," which establishes procedures for the FSC to use when presented with security issues that affect the entire facility, as well as the organizational structure, operations, accountability, and decision-making authority for FSCs. As a result, FSCs now have standardized procedures that outline how the FSC should operate and make decisions regarding a facility's security posture and enhance the protection of federal facilities.
Recommendation: The Secretary of DHS should direct the Under Secretary of the National Protection and Programs Directorate and the Director of Federal Protective Service to work in consultation with GSA and the Interagency Security Committee to develop and implement procedures that, among other things, outline the facility security committees' organizational structure, operations, decision-making authority, and accountability.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- Libero Kristin Winkler set a UC Irvine single-match record with a career-high 34 digs and several Anteaters posted personal-highs as UCI came from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Portland State 3-2 (19-25, 28-30, 26-24, 25-21, 15-13) Saturday at the Comcast/Sheraton Lobo Invitational. With the win UCI snaps a three-match losing streak and pulls even to 4-4 on the year.
Winkler, who had tied the third-highest record with 31 digs against New Mexico Friday, led six Anteaters in double-figure digs. Shannon Fleming delivered a career-best 11 solo blocks to tie for the second-highest mark in UCI match history. Aly Squires also had a career day with 26 kills and 20 digs while Molly Yoder also picked up a career-high with 22 digs. Shaina Olsen notched a personal-best 14 digs while adding 14 kills. Pauline Acres matched her career-high of six blocks, posted Friday, with six more blocks in the winning effort today and Marissa Alvarez chipped in a double-double effort with 29 assist and 10 digs.
The Anteaters found themselves trailing 10-5 in the first set following a kill from Cara Olden and four consecutive UCI attack errors. The Pilot lead expanded to six at 16-10 and then 18-12 but UCI rattled off three straight points to trim the lead to three at 18-15. That would be as close as the team would come as Portland State used its own three-point rally to reach set point at 24-18 and would close the door on a kill from Katie O'Brien.
Portland State held a three-point edge early in the second set at 8-5 but the Anteaters would quickly even the score at 9-9. The Pilots began to pull away, scoring on three consecutive plays to assume an 18-15 advantage and would work the lead to four at 22-18 on a service ace by Megan Ellis. Acres and Squires paired up to deny Cheyne Corrado at the net, kicking off a three-point run by UCI to close the gap to one at 22-21 and would tie the score at 23 points apiece on a block from Olsen and Alexandra Hauser. The teams would push the frame into extra points and at 28-28 a block on the Anteaters was followed by a ball-handling error as PSU took a two-set lead.
UCI came out of the intermission and jumped on the Pilots to take a solid 18-11 lead. An ace from Squires extended UCI's advantage to 20-12 but Portland State would whittle the score down to 20-15 on a pair of unforced errors by the Anteaters. The Pilots closed the gap again, this time to two points at 22-20 and would catch UCI at 23-23. After trading points, UCI took the advantage on a kill from Alvarez and Acres and Fleming keyed the Anteater win with the block on Corrado.
The momentum continued for UCI in the fourth set as the Anteaters used a 10-1 run to build a 19-9 lead with Squires putting away four kills in the run. The Pilots managed to cut the deficit to three points at 24-21 but Squires came through again with the final kill for UCI to force the fifth set.
Portland State's Garyn Schlatter and O'Brien came up with back-to-back blocks early to give the Pilots a 5-3 lead in the deciding set. However, the Anteater block responded as Fleming paired up first with Squires and then with Acres to highlight a five-point rally, giving UCI an 8-5 edge. Following the side change, UCI opened the lead to five at 13-8 on an ace from Acres and an attack error by Domi Kristinikova. The Pilots did not go away, erasing the lead to one at 13-12 but was unable to capitalize as a service error by Kaeli Patton gave UCI match point at 14-12. An unforced error by Squires pulled the Pilots to within one again but Squires rebounded with the put-away to give UCI the come-from-behind win.

Malayan tapir dies at the Woodland Park Zoo
Over the weekend, a 19-year-old Malayan tapir died at the Woodland Park Zoo.
Known as Ray, the tapir had been living at the Woodland Park Zoo for 18 years, and weighed 725 pounds. Ray had been undergoing treatment for reduced appetite and inactivity.
The Zoo's associate veterinarian, Doctor Kelly Helmick, had stabilized Ray's condition, so the death was unexpected. A necropsy suggests organ failure; however, other tests will be conducted to determine final cause of death.
In the Zoo's press release, mammal curator, Martin Ramirez, explained the loss.
"We are very saddened by this loss. Several staff members have cared for Ray since he arrived at the zoo more than 18 years ago, so it's especially hard for them. …We will miss Ray, particularly splashing through his pool, a favorite activity of his."
One of the most primitive large mammals in the world, the Malayan species is the only tapir native to Asian and is currently endangered. The average weight for an adult is 750 pounds, though some reach 900.
Plans for another tapir are not yet decided, yet one tapir remains at the zoo: a new two-year-old female, named Ulan.

THE WAGS TALES: Monday's Diary
Related Links
Aug. 28, 2006
I made it...the train ride was awesome. The rest of the day was pretty mellow. Jordan, Joe, Hardy, Tobin and I decided to go to the coffee shop across the street. It is the same one we went to before...so we walk in the door and last time someone came up to us to seat us because its a mini cafe too. Nobody came to seat us, so we stood and stood. Finally I walked up to a lady and said `Hi do you have English menus?', so looked at me like I was cussing at her. So another lady came up and asked "smoking?" we said no, so we went into the back room. We sat and read the menu for maybe 20 minutes-no one came up to help us. Finally Jordan practically grabbed the waitress and said we are ready to order and she sassed her and motioned hold on. Then the same English speaking lady took our order. I got a vanilla and almond- I got ripped off though, mine was 90 percent foam, which normally I would like, except I paid 5 bucks for like 4 sips...but whatever we had fun chatting which is why we went...well and its really good.
I then came back unpacked some of my stuff-hand washed some shirts and then went to the fitness room for a jog since I didn't play yesterday. Did some abs and push ups...felt good to get moving. Then I came and looked at blackboard and found some homework that I can work on so I'm not TOO far behind, that took a long time because I had to print all the syllabus' and then the calendars and notes...so I have some homework to do. After that we ate dinner, which was lame-the beef -well I don't think it was cow- the chicken was battered, so I just had some veggies and pasta and meat sauce and fruit. Pretty blah though...well the veggies were really good....but veggies I mean come on.
So now I am going to go up and Logs got pillow cases for all of us to decorate and sign for each other-super cute, and then I am getting another phone call....from my mom, which I'm very excited about again...haha. All I have to say is be glad you are American. Not many people smile here and they are pretty snotty-well not the people at the hotel, but on the street. I feel bad because they seem so depressed. We tried to see how many people we could get to smile while walking down the street....we got one....and the streets are packed with people.
Well I'm going up, got homework (blah), pillow case to decorate and my phone call!!

In Our Headphones This Week: Lucius, The Dismemberment Plan, And Tim Hecker
Every week brings another batch of new music releases -- often before there's even been a chance to catch up and digest the last week's onslaught. It can be more than any one person can keep up with. But here at Soundcheck, it's kind of our job (actually, it is our job) to check out and sort through the brand new stuff. It's hard. We cry a lot. But someone's gotta do it.
This past week a whole slew of big-name releases came out: Pearl Jam's Lightning Bolt, Cults' Static, and The Avett Brothers' Magpie And The Dandelion. But here are three more albums that we've blasting in our headphones this week.
What new music have you been listening to this week? Tells us in the comments or on Twitter at @Soundcheck.
There's no way else to put it: Lucius' debut, Wildewoman, is the most delightful record you'll hear all year. Fronted by the soulful soaring voices of Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, and a battery of thundering percussion, this young Brooklyn quintet's magnetic pop songs like "Hey, Doreen" and "Tempest" are instantly happy-making, but with just the right touch of bittersweet sentiment underneath. (Mike Katzif)
The Dismemberment Plan surprised me with Uncanney Valley, an album full of catchy pop hooks, driving beats and songs that wander off into weirdness just often enough to keep things interesting. My favorite track, "Waiting," starts with a marching band and then turns into a space-age Graceland-esque jam. (Katie Bishop)
Tim Hecker is redrawing the lines of "ambient music." This is not a peaceful, sleepytime collection of electronic drones; it might just be the most unnerving and downright scary album since Ben Frost's brilliant By The Throat in 2009. And it uses live musicians, though good luck trying to figure out how and where. (John Schaefer)

Having an inclusive shelter system requires serving the needs of diverse populations, including LGBTQ youth and families that include adolescent boys. Having an effective shelter system requires permanent housing-focused services and a commitment to move households into permanent housing as quickly as possible. This workshop will discuss how communities can start on the path of developing both.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. HistoryMajor Blood was born in Australian and served in the Australian Special Air Services Regiment and later the French Foreign Legion. Major Blood was originally hired by Cobra Commander to assassinate Destro but the plan was thwarted by the Baroness. He remains with Cobra even though Destro finds out about the attempted assassination. General Philip Rey cuts off one of Major Bloods hands during a battle and its replacement by a cybernetic one. Major Blood disappears for awhile after Cobras defeat at the Monolith Base and eventually resumes his work as a freelance mercenary. Other Versions Danger Girl/G.I. Joe After the acquisition of the Danger Girl characters by IDW it was decided to first launch the characters under the IDW banner with a crossover with one of the major properties at IDW, G.I. Joe (as they are owned by the same company it seems possible that these characters exist in the same continuity, though this is never confirmed.) The series starts off with a dog chase involving Scarlett and Flint and they are soon shot down. It is revealed that they were providing escort for a shipment of rediscovered missiles with great destructive power. They are soon shot down though and the missiles are taken by Cobra , who also take the two prisoners. Once in Cobra custody they come across Abbey Chase who is acting undercover, though the two members of G.I. Joe do not know this. Elsewhere the American president arrives to the USS Flagg and informs the Joe team to stand down and to not seek to free their teammates. General Flag orders them to stand down. The remaining female members (Cover Girl , Lady Jaye and Jinx ) come up with a plan where they will contact the Danger Girl team (Cover Girl had previously met Johnny Barracuda .) The team shows up and exposes the U.S. president as Zarana in disguise. Soon enough it is revealed that the Danger Girl team already has an operative in place and she informs them of the plan. Firefly is to head to Moscow and detonate one of the missiles while Major Bludd is to go to Beijing to detonate another. Three teams head out, one to each of the two cities and the third to the Cobra base. By now Abbey is under suspicion of Baroness, Destro and Cobra Commander and is captured by Zartan when she attempts to free Scarlett and Flint. While they are trying to escape a team of Low Light , Snake Eyes and Stalker arrive to free them. Meanwhile in Beijing a team of Jinx, Johnny Barracuda and Sonya Savage stop Major Bludd while a team of Sydney Savage , Cover Girl and Roadblock stop Firefly. It is soon revealed that there is another missile which is headed for the homing beacon which Zarana has placed on the USS Flagg. Silicon Valerie , Duke and Lady Jaye quickly deal with it. Meanwhile at the Cobra base Storm Shadow has arrived to stop the Joes and he engages Snake-Eyes in combat. Eventually this group is also able to escape, while blowing up the base and they are all reunited on the USS Flagg.

Audio playback quality
Have a 730N (RHR) unit. Any noticable trade-offs in audio quality when using BT vs. direct connect (AUX or center console)?
Re: Audio playback quality
I think songs played via BT with my iPhone sound much better than SAT radio stations.
Re: Audio playback quality
Sat Radio is terrible quality all around in my experiences.
Re: Audio playback quality
+1, had Sirius in my company car which was a malibu, my BMWs and portable players and it sounded like crap too. What a huge difference when you switch it back to FM, HD FM or CD.
Sat radio is so flat sounding, doesn't matter if you try to change the EQ settings.
Re: Audio playback quality
When you are streaming using the BT, the quality is going to be noticeably worse than if you were playing a CD. Connecting with the USB is somewhere in the middle.
Re: Audio playback quality
++1 When I say the same things people look at me like I'm crazy, but to me it sounds like AM with some extra bass, okay for talk and sports, but music? No way.
Re: Audio playback quality
AM > Sirius SQ. I would never pay a dime.

(2) The fees described in paragraph (1) are based on the transfer of one hospital facility as described in ORS 442.015(19)(a). The fees described in paragraph (1) shall be increased by 30% for each additional facility to be transferred as part of the transaction.
(3) The application fees collected pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) are intended to pay for the Attorney General's costs in reviewing the proposed transaction, preparing an order approving, or disapproving the transaction, evaluating/insuring initial compliance (for a period not to exceed six months) and relating to any appeal from the proceeding.

March staying true to 2012 form with temperatures in the 70s Saturday
March 30, 2012
Steamboat Springs — A warm, dry March will stay true to that theme until the very end, with Saturday's high temperature expected to approach 70 degrees.
The final two days of the month will see temperatures in the 60s and mostly sunny skies. Today's high of 67 degrees will increase to 72 degrees Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. Overnight lows will be in the mid- to upper 20s.
The shift Sunday to April also will bring a slight shift in the weather, with temperatures expected to drop into the low 50s. The National Weather Service is calling for a chance of rain and snow Sunday. However, the extended forecast predicts temperatures will rise back into the 60s by the middle of next week.
There still are a little more than two weeks remaining in the 2011-12 ski season, but the balmy conditions that have prevailed throughout the past several weeks have many residents already thinking about summer. Calls to most Steamboat Springs bicycle shops this week reveal a two-week wait on service appointments.

Learning and Working During the Transition to AdulthoodVocational Supports for Emerging Adults
Emerging adulthood is a critical developmental period during which there are important role changes in multiple realms, including education, work, and interpersonal relationships. Young adults (ages 17-30) with serious mental health conditions (SMHC) represent a very large population with strikingly poor outcomes. Pre-existing mental health problems and the development of psychopathology during this age can substantially interfere with a youth's ability to master the challenges of this period, leading to increased psychiatric impairment and failure to meet developmental milestones. Research has documented that these young adults have serious struggles in both school and work, often even more so than other disability groups. Additionally, the movement from adolescence to adulthood for young people with SMHC is made more difficult because it spans the ages that child and adult service systems address. Due to the division of mental health services into adult and child/adolescent-oriented systems, many youth "fall through the cracks" and fail to receive appropriate mental health, rehabilitation, and other needed services during their transition into adulthood. Thus, it is vital to develop appropriate services to address not only the behavioral and mental health needs of this population, but also support success in meeting appropriate developmental milestones.
The goal of this pilot study is to develop and gather preliminary data on the effectiveness of an adjunct to therapy called a Life Coach, based on the Chamberlain mentoring model for juvenile delinquents and a curriculum for teaching independence to emerging adults. The role of the Life Coach is to provide one-on-one support to the young adult in meeting vocational, educational, and social goals during the transition to adulthood. The Life Coach as an adjunct has the potential to address the unmet developmental needs of young adults receiving mental health treatment. In this pilot, the Life Coach will be an adjunct to Multisystemic Therapy for Emerging Adults (MST-EA) who have both SMHC and criminal justice involvement. This study pilots two versions of the Life Coach, one in which the Life Coaches have additional curriculum focused on vocational issues and the other in which Life Coaches have a standard curriculum and clients are referred to state vocational rehabilitation services for vocational needs.

Bill to Cut Higher Education Budget Clears Senate
The Idaho Senate has approved a higher education budget with a $7.6 million cut in state support. The Senate voted 28-7 along party lines to pass the budget for Idaho's public universities, which is up $19 million in total funding but with the cut in state general funds, will force the schools to rely more on dedicated funds that primarily consist of student tuition and fees. Democratic Senator Elliot Werk, of Boise, debated against the cut saying: "This is our economic development engine that we are starving for resources." Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis countered that minority Democrats could demand more higher education money because they didn't have to make the hard calls necessary to balance Idaho's budget. Other Republicans added: "This is the best we can do."

Nitro Circus Live 2013Other / Other
07 December 2013, 7.30pm
This December, Nitro Circus will be bringing their trademark dazzling stunts to the Netherlands.
The show will involve almost 40 of the world's biggest names performing stunning freestyle motocross, BMX and skating tricks.
The two-and-a-half-hour spectacular follows in the footsteps of the hugely popular 2012 event - when Nitro Circus Live made its first appearance on European soil.
The 2012 Arnhem night sold out well in advance, and crowds of 30.000 delirious sports fans made it one of the most successful events in Nitro Circus' history.
Their return this December will be preceded by sold-out tours of Australia and Asia. The prgramme manager, Michael Porra, is excited about what's in store: "Dutch fans can expect a whole host of new stunts that will absolutely blow them away."

Mercedes not chasing volume at any price - Daimler CEO
FRANKFURT Feb 5 (Reuters) - Daimler Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche insisted on Friday the German carmaker would not sacrifice margins in its quest to overtake arch rival BMW and become the best-selling luxury car brand.
Zetsche has tasked Mercedes with becoming the leading premium carmaker by 2020 after it sold 1.87 million passenger cars in 2015, leapfrogging Volkswagen's Audi on 1.80 million but still trailing BMW on 1.91 million.
"The volume lead should be the consequence of having the best offering," Zetsche said. "If we accomplish this, it is a natural consequence that more people will choose us."
"People said it will create pricing and margin pressure. Exactly the opposite is true," he told analysts at a conference to discuss fourth-quarter results in Stuttgart.
Having a certain level of sales volume gave Mercedes the economies of scale to develop a coupe, a convertible and long-wheelbase version of its top-of-the range S-Class, Zetsche said.
The Mercedes CEO was more upbeat about the brand's prospects in China, given that the overall market was expected to grow 8 percent this year.
"We do see significantly better chances for us based on our product offerings," Zetsche said, adding that demand remained high for some new locally made cars, such as the GLC offroader.
"We have waiting times which are unhealthy already," he gold told analysts, adding that the new E-Class, another volume model, had yet to hit showrooms.

Pakistan yet to resolve stranded Afghan vehicles issue
Pakistan yet to resolve stranded Afghan vehicles issue
KABUL (PAN): Despite hectic efforts by Afghan officials, Pakistan is yet to resolve the issue of stranded Afghan traders' vehicles in the neighbouring country, an official said on Tuesday.
On November 27, Islamabad closed a key supply line for Afghanistan-based international troops after a deadly cross border attack by NATO forces in Mohmand tribal region. Additionally, Pakistan had also stopped 700 vehicles carrying freezers, eggs and meat at different locations from Karachi to Peshawar over the past few weeks.
"I met the Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Monday and discussed with him the the issue," Afghan Minister of Commerce and industries, Anwar-ul- Haq Ahadi, told Pajhwok Afghan News opver the telephone.
Malik had assured efforts at resolving the problem, Ahadi said, adding he was not sure when the problem would be resolved, but they were trying to find a solution to it.
"Vice President Marshal Muhammad Qaseem Fahim has also asked the Chief of Staff to raise the issue with Pakistani military officials," he said.
Deputy Afghan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) director, Jan Khan Alokozay, said it was a serious issue and the Afghan government should take concerte measures to resolve it as soon as possible. He said losses incurred by Afghan traders increased with each passing day.

(CNSNews.com) - Burma's military rulers, under fire for their response to a devastating cyclone that has cost at least 22,000 lives, are pressing ahead with plans to hold a weekend referendum on a new constitution despite the humanitarian disaster.
Apart from a two-week postponement in the hardest-hit areas of the Southeast Asian country also known as Myanmar, the referendum will go ahead as scheduled on Saturday, the government announced in its New Light of Myanmar mouthpiece.
"The referendum is only a few days away and the people are eagerly looking forward to voting," it said in a statement.
The junta has been criticized, by First Lady Laura Bush among others, for not doing enough to warn citizens about the approaching Cyclone Nargis last week, and for an "inept" response after it hit.
U.N. and other aid agencies have reported delays in waiving visa requirements for aid workers wanting to enter the country. The Pentagon said Tuesday a U.S. Navy group including an amphibious vessel and U.S. Marines was standing by off neighboring Thailand awaiting permission to help the relief effort.
"We're prepared to move U.S. Navy assets to help find those who've lost their lives, to help find the missing, to help stabilize the situation," President Bush said at the White House.
Speaking after signing into law a bill to award the Congressional Gold Medal to Burmese democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who remains under house arrest, Bush said the junta must allow U.S. Agency for International Development disaster response assessment teams into the country.
"Let the United States come to help you, help the people," he urged Burma's leaders.
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said that if the USAID personnel were denied entry, they would continue to work from Bangkok, Thailand and to cooperate with whatever agencies were able to get into Burma.
USAID has allocated $3 million for relief in addition to an initial emergency contribution of $250,000 in food aid, announced on Monday.
"This $3 million will go a long way, but also if we could get our ships there to be able to help them, more and more people could be helped," Perino said.
The Christian charity World Vision said its team in Burma estimates that up to two million people may be affected by the cyclone. "The destruction is unbelievable," World Vision representative Kyi Minn was quoted as saying from Rangoon. "Elderly people are saying this is the worst storm they have ever seen."
Rangoon, Burma's largest city, also known as Yangon, has been declared a disaster zone, although the situation in the coastal plain is reported to be significantly worse, with many areas still cut off due to extensive flooding.
State media report that more than 22,000 people have died and another 41,000 are missing, and there are fears the death toll could rise significantly.
As the scale of the disaster becomes more evident and the World Health Organization warns of possible disease outbreaks among the many left homeless, the government's decision to push ahead with the referendum plan is drawing condemnation.
"In the wake of this overwhelming disaster, it is devastating to see that the military regime gives priority to the constitutional referendum over protecting the social plight of people," Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) said in a statement that also called for stepped-up international aid.
Holding the referendum at this time would be "absurd," said the Asian Human Rights Commission, estimating that as many as one in four enrolled voters had been affected by the storm.
"To expend the energy of government officers on that exercise rather than the needs of the populace at this critical time would do nothing but demonstrate to the entire world the implausibility of the country's government and everything upon which it pretends to stand," the Hong Kong-based organization said.
'Justification for a power grab'
Critics, including the NLD, say the proposed new constitution is aimed at legitimizing and prolonging military rule.
Released for the first time last month, the proposed document will set aside 25 percent of seats in both houses of parliament for appointees of the junta, known formally as the State Peace and Development Council, which will as a result have effective veto power over any future changes to the constitution. A clause on eligibility for political office will also bar Suu Kyi, because she was formerly married to a foreign citizen.
The referendum process itself has also been widely condemned. International observers have been banned, and the junta has not allowed those opposed to the constitution campaign for a "no" vote. State-controlled media are only permitted to report in support of the constitution, observers say.
The U.S. House of Representatives -- in a 413-1 vote on Tuesday -- passed a resolution condemning the referendum process and proposed new constitution, and urging the junta to enter dialogue with the pro-democracy opposition.
New Jersey Democrat Rep. Rush Holt, who introduced the measure, in a statement called the referendum "bogus, fraudulent, spurious, and phony ... use whatever words you want, but it is important the United States stands strong with the people of Burma, stands for true democracy, and stands firmly against this justification for a power grab."
It remains unclear why Burma's government did not give citizens more warning of the impending disaster.
Between April 27 and when the cyclone made landfall in Burma late on May 2, the U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center in Hawaii issued 20 cyclone warnings.
Other warnings came from the India Meteorological Department in New Delhi, which has regional responsibility for tracking cyclones, and the Thailand-based Asian Disaster Preparedness Center, which was set up after the deadly Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004.
"Although they were aware of the threat, Burma's state-run media failed to issue a timely warning to citizens in the storm's path," the First Lady's charged during a statement to reporters at the White House on Monday.
"People across the region complain of a lack of warning as the storm approached," reported the Irrawaddy, a Thailand-based independent newspaper focusing on Burma.
The paper said in an editorial the junta's "totally inadequate" response to the cyclone showed it to be "incapable of running the country."
"The referendum should be postponed and the government's efforts devoted totally to helping the cyclone victims," it said.
Burma has been under military rule since 1962. The current junta in 1990 allowed multiparty elections, but when the NLD won it ignored the result and held onto power. Last September, protests led by Buddhist monks drew a harsh military response, and at least 30 people were killed.

The Magpul MOE handguard is a good value, and doesn't add as much weight as a metal rail, and you can still add lights.
Do you want a magnified optic or not?

I bought a Sig M400 today. I've been putting off buying one because I'm just not sure that I needed it (I'm still not sure, but the wife is out of town,
so it was easy to sneak in the house
2 things that I want to put on it.... A different handgaurd, I want to be able to hang a light off the bottom.
Some type of optic... cheap optic to start. This is just for plinking, fun etc. I don't want to be "Tacticool"
My former neighbor left me a bunch of magazines (30) and 1000 rds of green tipped .223 when he left... so I'm good with magazines.

I use the magpul. It is great as previously mentioned. I added a little rail piece for a tac light and i have a primary arms micro red dot. I love it. I have shot the crap out of it and it has held zero and has not failed yet. Yea the aimpoints are nice but I didn't see spending that much on an optic I wasn't sure I would like. I like them but when considering the price I like my primary arms way better. I have compared the two btw. Aimpoint is a litttllleee bit more crisp and yea has like a 20 year battery life but hey.....I can live without it.

You don't need a different handguard for the use of a light. There are few different mounts that fit to the front sight post.
Primary Arms are the top dog in the world of "cheap" optics. You can use the Primary Arms micro dot until you're ready (or not) to buy an Aimpoint. There really aren't any good Eotech "style" budget optics out there that don't suck.
I'd start with, shooting it first. Get the irons sighted in.
Learn to shoot properly before optics and youll be rewarded tenfold. JMO.

-It is a seriously scary thought that there are subsets of American society that think being intellectual is a BAD thing...
Learn to adjust and shoot with the iron sights first. No batteries to go dead and you can be very accurate with them. A cheap red dot made by BSA has worked well for some time now. It's $35 and I think I saw it in Walmart or Dicks.
"Confidence is food for the wise man but liquor for the fool"
Pet it. Caress it. Make it promises you don't intend to keep......the usual.....
and then take it out and show it a really good time and just get down and dirty with it.
Well, you ARE in a new relationship, so you want to explore those boundaries, right?

Lubricate it well not just for shooting but,you will know why when your wife finds it
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
I don't know what kind of optics I need, er uh want. It's strictly for fun, shooting in the desert, that kind of thing. I'm not going into battle with it (at least I hope not).
Say... 200 yards max. It has the carry handle with iron sights and I fully intend to utilize those. any optic I get will be in addition to not replace those.
I'll take a look at the options for the light... but then again, I don't really need a light.
I did manage to change out the selector switch for an ambi switch... that seemed easy enough.
Thanks every one for the help. Super excited to get started!!
Shoot the crap out of it. Then, after you've burned up 1000 rounds, you will have a better idea what you want to change on it.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
Get some rounds downrange to get used to the gun. Then sign up for some training... a lot of the local ranges offer courses in the AR. When you gain some confidence, then sign up for the EAG Tactical "Carbine Operators Course" that comes to Casa Grande once or twice a year.

Even before the handguards and ammo, you need to buy facepaint, night vision and attached GPS. After such, an Eotech or Aimpoint, flashlight and sling are good. Then course, shoot, shoot, shoot.
Congrats! I think thats one of the best value's in the gun world right now. The M400 is a fantastic AR.
A few have said it already, but its worth repeating. I would hold off on the optic!! Get good with irons before you go to an optic. You should be able to hit center of mass shots at 100 yards with irons no problem. To me, optics are just one more thing to worry about. But hey, i'm a "simpler is better-er-er" kind of guy. Keep it light, keep it simple, and shoot the snot out of it.
Dig a pit. Start piling greenbacks right next to the pit. Now... you're going to need that shovel again...
Congrats :)

I found lakanto when I started The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.) to reverse my systemic yeast overgrowth. This sugar substitute that doesn't feed harmful pathogens living in your body (i.e. GBS+, Candida, viruses) nor does it acidify the blood. Lakanto is also a safe sweetener for diabetics.
What is Lakanto Made From?
The 2 ingredients in Lakanto are non-GMO erythritol and the extract of luo han guo fruit.
#1) Erythritol
A sugar alcohol naturally found in grapes, pears, mushrooms, soy sauce, cheese, wine, and beer. It's been part of the human diet for thousands of years.
Erythritol is different than other sugar alcohols because it's made by fermenting the sugar that's in corn. Many people get diarrhea, bloating, and gas after they eat food sweetened with sugar alcohol. This is usually because they're hydrogenated. Lakanto isn't known to cause digestive issues – this may be because it's made with a natural fermentation process.
#2) Luo han guo
A sweet fruit with a ton of health properties (i.e. anti-carcinogenic, regulate blood sugar, decrease oxidative stress, prevent tooth decay, anti-inflammatory, inhibit tumor growth, antioxidant, antihistamine).
Lakanto has both luo han guo and erythritol and is one of the healthiest sweeteners that's been discovered in centuries.
- Zero calories
- Zero glycemic index
- Zero additives
- Safe for diabetics
- No influence on blood sugar and insulin release
- Perfect for those on a Candida Diet (i.e. B.E.D.)
- 1-to-1 ratio with sugar — easy to measure and use

After Tuesday's practice, Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Tretter would miss the rest of organized team activities. More likely, the fourth-round pick out of Cornell will spend his rookie season on injured reserve. It's typically a six-month recovery time, with Tretter being unable to put any weight on the injury for the first three months after surgery.
However, a return is not out of the question. One of the players represented by Fox and Alan Herman of SportStars, Cincinnati center Kyle Cook, sustained a similar injury during the Aug. 23 preseason game against Green Bay. Cook wound up playing in four games, including making two starts.
The difference is Cook is a veteran who had started all 48 games the previous three seasons. Tretter is a rookie who will have missed the offseason practices and training camp by the time he's healthy.
During a routine fumble recovery drill in which the linemen slide baseball-style while securing the ball, Tretter had a cleat get stuck in the Clarke Hinkle Field turf, breaking his fibula and tearing ligaments.
For a team that values versatility and the ability to have only seven linemen active on game day, Tretter is a significant loss because he had the ability to play guard, center and perhaps both tackle spots. Tretter presumably would have made the 53-man roster, so that improves the odds for the likes of Marshall Newhouse, Don Barclay, Andrew Datko, Greg Van Roten and rookie free agents Lane Taylor and Patrick Lewis.
Not participating (but on the practice field) were rookie receivers Kevin Dorsey and Charles Johnson, running back DuJuan Harris, safety Sean Richardson, cornerback Davon House, linebackers Dezman Moses and Desmond Bishop, offensive tackle Derek Sherrod, and defensive linemen Ryan Pickett and Jerel Worthy.
McCarthy would not discuss injuries, though he did say Bishop (missed last season with hamstring), House (shoulder) and Sherrod (missed last season with broken leg) would likely return in that order.
Cornerback Sam Shields was absent. He has not signed his restricted free agent tender.
"Sam Shields is a young player and our program speaks for itself and how young players develop year to year," McCarthy said. "I wish Sam was here. He's not here for his specific reasons that I'm sure if he wants to answer them, he can answer them. It's about the opportunity to compete and our secondary is very competitive. I wish he was here."
Back in action after missing all of last season was tight end Andrew Quarless.
Three-point stance
— A few highlights: There were a few scuffles, including two involving first-round pick Datone Jones. ... Jarrett Bush had an interception and broke up another pass. ... Nick Perry, who missed much of last season with wrist and knee injuries, blew past David Bakhtiari for a sack. ... Barclay, getting some work at center, and quarterback B.J. Coleman botched a snap. ... Rookie running back Johnathan Franklin stopped blitzing Mike Neal.
— Donald Driver joined the Packers in 1999 and Charles Woodson signed with the team in 2006. Driver has retired and Woodson has been released, leaving a leadership void. "It's going to be tough to replace guys like that," quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. "The leadership areas you miss the most. Obviously, from a friendship standpoint, it was great to spend so many years with them and be a part of so many great victories and accomplishments, and watch them achieve incredible individual success and be able to play with them and achieve some team success as well. We'll miss them a lot. Those guys are incredible players and people."
— McCarthy, on practice: "I thought today was kind of typical of the first time the team takes the field. It was a little disjointed. The energy was great, the intent was great, but your team has to learn to practice together — like it does every time they get together, and I think you saw some of that today."
— The next practice open to fans and reporters will be at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 28, also at Clarke Hinkle Field.

A funny thing happened while we in IT were focused on ITIL, data center consolidation and standardization. The business went shopping for better technology solutions. We've been their go-to department for technology since the mainframe days and have been doing what they asked. When they wanted higher SLAs we invested in high availability solutions. When they asked for greater flexibility we empowered them with client-server, application servers and now virtual machines. All the while they have relentlessly badgered us for lower costs and greater efficiencies. And we've given it to them. And until recently, they seemed satisfied. Or so we thought.
Sure, we've tolerated the occasional SaaS application here and there. We've let them bring in Macs (just not too many of them) and we've even supported their pesky smart phones. But each time they came running to us for assistance when the technical support need grew too great.

You're busy. And you have limited resources. But you think this iPad thing is big, right? But what about all these other tablets coming out? And Android TVs? And connected printers? Do you need to produce apps for all of these devices?
Welcome to the Splinternet. The bad news: Devices and platforms will continue to proliferate. The good news: There's action you can take now to build a framework for delivering your products and services on the platforms where it makes sense for you to be -- whether that's iPads today or wearable gestural interfaces tomorrow.
In a new Forrester report, we lay out the how-to of building such a framework. It's called POST -- People, Objectives, Strategy, Technology -- and if it sounds familiar, that's because we've written about how to use it to build a social media strategy, a mobile strategy, and now we're introducing it for the iPad and the whole category of "and" devices that will follow it. (You know...and Android tablets, and WebOS tablets, and connected TVs, etc.)

Although I have been shooting for 42 years, I only carried for the first few years when I lived in Texas and then not until 3 years ago. Contrary to what some believe, the world is not as dangerous as it seems if you do not focus on what happens to a small percentage of the population every day. :) However, I do carry now that I am a senior citizen as I cannot run or fight anymore.
It was a learning experience for me and I can remember three embarrassing moments during my first few months of carry and would like to hear yours. It is a learning experience and perhaps we can all learn from each other.
1. I was at a pellet gun range with my cousin who shoots pellet guns in competition. I was helping him sight in a new gun. A strange came over to inquire about the new gun and while I do not recall the specifics, I bent over and my gun in a cheap nylon holster fell out of it and onto the ground in the middle of our conversation. I just kept on talking, picked it up and holstered it again without missing a beat. Luckily most of the guys at the pellet range are also into real guns so nothing was said.
2. I was at a movie theater with my full sized gun in a belt slide holster with the muzzle exposed. When I went to sit down the muzzle hit the arm of the chair and the gun popped out and onto the dark and sticky floor. I tried to feel around for it but could not locate it so I had to get on my hands and knees to find it. From then on my holsters are molded to my gun and cover the muzzle.
3. My last embarrassing moment was when I started pocket carrying for short trips around the immediate area like going to the dentist. I have my gun in a pocket holster as I sat down on the dentist chair. Before I knew it they were reclining the chair until my feet were higher than my head and the gun and holster slide out of my pocket and I had to grab it and put it back. Luckily the dental assistant was a gun owner and into shooting so nothing was said. Now I use only Mika holsters and never pocket carry when I will be laying down.
After these three embarrassing moments I had learned enough to prevent things like that from happening again. The do not teach you this stuff so I had to learn it myself through trial and error. Now when I teach new shooters or mentor gun owners who never carried before like me, I know what to teach them to prevent these type of problems from occurring to them.
Thanks for those. I got the call today that my permit is available to pick up tomorrow! Hopefully I won't have incidents, but I am far from perfect lol.

I am 62 and just started shooting last Nov 2012 (What took me so long?) .I use a Deep Conceal holster 3 Speed Holster
I either position it just below the beltline or just above it (I am still experimenting with ease of draw Vs conceal) . So far i have had it a week without any awkward glances. But i stopped to talk to a neighbor who is a POSTAL WORKER. he kinda had a funny look and his eyes were at the area i wear my EDC. (OK, Postal Worker .... maybe at his PO he is in charge of Guns & Ammo?). I hope not to have any embarrassing moments, that could esclaate into something more than just being a little red in the face.
I have had two so far over the years.
The first time was about 3-4 months after I started regularly carrying and went into a gas station to pick up a lotto ticket. Personally I find it the most comfortable to carry in the 7-8 oclock postion with my IWB holster, problem (if you can say that) is that it is the same side I carry my wallet. I went to pay the cashier, reached back to grab the wallet and the cashier gets a very wide eyed look on him. Made the mistake of flipping my shirt up a little, force of habbit really and it exposed my gun. Realizing what I did, I quickly flipped it back down, paid the guy and left. This is when I figured out that although some may like the holsters that sit above your belt line, I do not and promptly adjusted the holster and eventually made a new one for it that would tuck it low enough that it was hardly visible yet easy to get to in case of an emergency.
The second time was right after I got my sr40c (I know some have had issues with this gun, I have not had any in the last 2000+ rounds). I picked up a semi cheap IWB holster for it, cant recall the brand, to use until I made one for it for EDC. This one was the type that snapped over my belt with a couple thin leather straps. My wife and I went out to dinner one evening maybe a week or two after I had started carrying it in that holster, and when we sat down at our table, I heard something snap, not loud but just a "what was that". Didnt think much of it until I stood up to go to the restroom and I felt my pistol slide down my pant leg. The snap was the cheap leather strips that held the gun on my belt breaking in the middle. Luckily it was a dark restaruant we were at and we were almost finished so I was able to get another empty "to go box" and just slipped in there as I really did not want to walk out with it in my hand or visible through 25-30 people waiting to be seated up front.
Because of those two semi embaressing moments I have learned what type of holster I like to use, you get what you pay for when it comes to a quality holster and I learned the process for making holsters as what I wanted either did not exist and if it did I did not want to pay the cost for it.
It took you THREE drops to learn enough to prevent it from happening a 4th time???
Why did it take you so long?

I was using the restroom at a local restaurant. When I came out, as I was walking through the door I hit my G19 on the metal door frame and made a very loud metal on metal *CLINK* noise. As I looked up directly in front of me, there was an entire family staring at me. Lol!

gotta do what you gotta do. wife didn't have her purse and I was in dress pants, not a whole lot of options.
I hear so many people that have problems with holsters an most of the time its because they try to get away cheap. I never understood how anyone can pay for a quality gun good ammo an than try to buy a holster for 20 to 30 bucks. They are the ones who end up with a drawer full of useless nylon, kydex, clip ons. Buy a quality belt an stick with known holster makers. Mitch Rosen, Milt Sparks, Kramer Leather, Hayes Leather to name a few its cheaper in the long run not to mention very comfortable.
Only one when I first started carrying. bent over in a bathroom and gun fell out of a cheap appendix carry and dropped on the floor. Hence,no more cheap holsters
Unfortunately I think you do just have to step up and try something out and see. An hour spent looking at holster reviews, while it may end up giving you many choices, will ultimately lead you to several well known brands that have a lot of positive reviews. Plus, the benefit of a quality holster is you can always sell it and minimize your loss if you decide that you want to try something else. So that well known brand that set you back $100 will return a significant percentage if you sell it.
Ultimately the best reasons for starting out right is the original post itself. A quality holster won't allow those things to happen and IMO that's worth the cost of ownership right there.

Those cheap holsters to get by with at first do have another good use after you have selected a quality holster. I use my cheapo nylon holsters to store my guns in the safe with.
