Mustang MonthlyHow To Paint Body
Paint Solutions For Your Mustang Project - How To
Eastwood has the answers for those handling their own paintwork.
Mustang owners are the perennial do-it-yourself types. From rebuilding their own engines to upgrading their Mustang's suspensions, the majority of Mustang owners heartily dig in to their own projects for the ultimate in satisfaction. While anyone can stroke a check, those that do their own repairs, upgrades, and restorations have a sense of accomplishment and pride that you simply can't put a price on. That being said, one area many people struggle with when it comes to DIY projects for their Mustangs is paint and body repairs. It takes a certain bit of skill to really perform paint and body work and have it look good and be repaired properly.
The Eastwood Company has been helping Mustang owners with their projects for decades. The Eastwood catalog is chock full of rust repair, paint and body tools, and detailing items including its own line of paints, coatings, and spray equipment. These products have been designed with the home enthusiast market in mind—easy to use, great coverage, and long lasting. Using Eastwood's paint and rust repair products on your Mustang restoration means getting the job done right the first time.
Rust repair is often number one on the list of vintage Mustang repairs for owners and Eastwood certainly has you covered with their various repair tools, welders, brushable and sprayable coatings, and more. One of its signature products is Rust Encapsulator, a spray-on coating that penetrates and seals rust, preventing it from spreading. Eastwood offers Rust Encapsulator in spray cans, as well as quart cans, in several colors. Eastwood has recently expanded their rust fighting products with its Internal Frame Coating. Similar to Rust Encapsulator, the Internal Frame Coating is designed to coat that hard-to-reach rust inside frame rails, torque boxes, cowl vents, and more. Internal Frame Coating can do this thanks to its 24-inch long spray tube with 360-degree spray head. Internal Frame Coating penetrates, converts, and encapsulates the rust while its Zinc Phosphate seals the surface to prevent future corrosion. Simply insert the spray nozzle into your frame or other restricted space and squeeze the trigger while pulling the spray nozzle through the area to be treated.
After tackling the rust, you'll want a good two-part epoxy primer or paint to finish off your metal surface before final prep to paint your overall color. Or sometimes you'll want a high quality two-part catalyzed epoxy paint for small jobs like painting an engine bay or inside the wheel wells without having to deal with a compressor, dragging around an air hose, and mixing up paint/solvents to use with a spray gun. Eastwood understands it is a pain to mix the paints, setup a spray gun, and so forth for ten minutes worth of painting. Their answer is the new 2K Aero-Spray epoxy spray paints. These aerosol paints are packaged in unique two-chamber spray cans that include the ceramic-fortified paint in one chamber with the activator in the other. You simply mix the two chambers right before use and you'll have a two-part epoxy paint with a durable finish ready for sanding if needed. The cans feature a spray nozzle that covers like a paint gun; Eastwood recommends using the can like a spray gun with slow, overlapping strokes.

Food is excellent , fresh and totally Italian - I am of Italian descent I love only my meatballs normally but their meatballs are just like home- Chicken parm was fabulous as Definitely going back or ordering take out. Try it you'll be quite happy.
Posted by Robert Lindelof on 01/08/2013
When I came across Uncle Gino's I cound not beleive how great all of the food is as well as how clean they keep the place. Everything is made super fresh and the 12" sub easily weighs over a pound and is made to perfection. I highly recommend that you try it and become a repeat customer like I am. I even go out of my way to order there even though I am not that close to the location because the food is so good and the staff is awesome ...

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals

Poring over analysis of Margaret Thatcher's legacy provoked the tangential realisation that politics, like industry, values its elders. Thatcher reached her mid-sixties before she was ousted as prime minister (and felt she had more to give) and many politicians make vital contributions into their eighties.
Google is coming to value advertising expertise and craft skills as it looks to build its resource in talking to brands
This respect for longevity appears to be sadly lacking in the advertising business, especially on the tech side of the media industry, where forty- and fiftysomethings are thin on the ground. Collister, who previously ran the consultancy Creative Matters, seemed to recognise this when he told Campaign: "I have been a creative director for 25 years now and the fact that an organisation like Google is looking to a grey-hair like me is very interesting, because I think it shows that good old-fashioned understanding of brands, ideas and – dare I say it – people is important."
Google's willingness to appoint a veteran is a rare exception to industry trends, which make depressing reading for those nearing the second half of their working lives. The average age in agencies is 33.8, according to the most recent IPA Agency Census, and just 5.7 per cent of agency staff are over 50.
While Collister hasn't occupied a "frontline" creative director role for a decade, he was running creative departments at the likes of Ogilvy & Mather and EHS and talking about "integrated" models before many current practitioners were out of school. His appointment shows that Google is coming to value advertising expertise and craft skills as it looks to build its resource in talking to brands and building its own.
Collister joins other prominent advertising names such as Steve Vranakis and Graham Bednash at the tech giant, which needs to make strides in convincing the ad community to spend greater amounts beyond search advertising. The advice of these former agency types could prove invaluable and should have the knock-on effect of forcing agencies themselves to adapt.
Not before time, according to Collister: "Within some digital agencies, people tend to think platforms are a substitute for ideas, but you need both. Technology drives creativity, but it doesn't lead it." Sometimes it takes a wise old head to identify something so simple. Google is willing to embrace it, now let's see if agencies are capable.

More Red Sox lore: Boston Red Sox Team Uniforms
Baseball Collectibles
Red Sox Fun Facts
A compendium of facts and trivia about the Red Sox uniforms:
On December 18, 1907, shortly after Boston's National League team revealed that the new uniforms for 1908 eliminated their customary red stockings, owner John I. Taylor of the Boston Americans pounced. He quickly decided that his team would adopt red hose and call themselves the Boston Red Sox. Taylor personally oversaw the uniform design, selecting red stockings because Boston's first professional baseball team — the Red Stockings — had worn them. Taylor appreciated the link with tradition. It was predicted that the name "Red Sox" would prove a popular choice.
Was Taylor imprudently putting the health, or even the lives of his players in jeopardy? Historian Ellery Clark wrote that the owners of the National League team, George and John Dovey, "decided the red dye in their club's stockings might well lead to blood infection and even worse if and when or more of their players were cut in the leg by opposing spikes. The grand old color and the nickname were abandoned in the interests of health."
Rash though Taylor's decision may have been, generations of Red Sox players have come and gone with no documented case of red dye disease.
Baseball uniforms were traditionally made of wool flannel, which were durable but sometimes seemed exceptionally hot. There are tales of a ballplayer losing five or six pounds while playing the old St. Louis Browns in midsummer. The older fabric "breathed," though, in a way that some of the knit polyester wear of the last couple of decades of the 20th century did not.
Red Sox in pinstripes? From 1912-1931, both home and road unis were with pinstripes.
The standard "B" cap is de riguer throughout most of New England, though in recent years it's become available in pink, in camouflage, and other fashion variations. The team itself has almost invariably worn a navy blue cap since 1933 save for a flirtation with red in the middle 1970s. For the 2009 season, the Sox adopted an alternative cap with the "hanging sox" logo, reviving a device used in one earlier season — 1931 — both on the cap and the left sleeve.
In addition to the "hanging sox" cap, 1931 was also the first year that the Red Sox wore numbers on the back of their jerseys. The highest number yet issued to a player is the 84 given to J.T. Snow, which he wore in 2006 as a tribute to his pro football father, the late Jack Snow.

Stars produce energy through nuclear fusion, producing heavier elements from lighter ones. The heat generated from these reactions prevents gravitational collapse of the star. Over time, the star builds up a central core which consists of elements which the temperature at the center of the star is not sufficient to fuse. For main-sequence stars with a mass below approximately 8 solar masses, the mass of this core will remain below the Chandrasekhar limit, and they will eventually lose mass (as planetary nebulae) until only the core, which becomes a white dwarf, remains. Stars with higher mass will develop a degenerate core whose mass will grow until it exceeds the limit. At this point the star will explode in a core-collapse supernova, leaving behind either a neutron star or a black hole.
Computed values for the limit will vary depending on the approximations used, the nuclear composition of the mass, and the temperature. Chandrasekhar, eq. (36),, eq. (58),, eq. (43) gives a value of
Electron degeneracy pressure is a quantum-mechanical effect arising from the Pauli exclusion principle. Since electrons are fermions, no two electrons can be in the same state, so not all electrons can be in the minimum-energy level. Rather, electrons must occupy a band of energy levels. Compression of the electron gas increases the number of electrons in a given volume and raises the maximum energy level in the occupied band. Therefore, the energy of the electrons will increase upon compression, so pressure must be exerted on the electron gas to compress it. This is the origin of electron degeneracy pressure.
In the nonrelativistic case, electron degeneracy pressure gives rise to an equation of state of the form P=K1ρ5/3. Solving the hydrostatic equation leads to a model white dwarf which is a polytrope of index 3/2 and therefore has radius inversely proportional to the cube root of its mass, and volume inversely proportional to its mass.
As the mass of a model white dwarf increases, the typical energies to which degeneracy pressure forces the electrons are no longer negligible relative to their rest masses. The velocities of the electrons approach the speed of light, and special relativity must be taken into account. In the strongly relativistic limit, we find that the equation of state takes the form P=K2ρ4/3. This will yield a polytrope of index 3, which will have a total mass, Mlimit say, depending only on K2.
For a fully relativistic treatment, the equation of state used will interpolate between the equations P=K1ρ5/3 for small ρ and P=K2ρ4/3 for large ρ. When this is done, the model radius still decreases with mass, but becomes zero at Mlimit. This is the Chandrasekhar limit. The curves of radius against mass for the non-relativistic and relativistic models are shown in the graph. They are colored blue and green, respectively. μe has been set equal to 2. Radius is measured in standard solar radii or kilometers, and mass in standard solar masses.
A more accurate value of the limit than that given by this simple model requires adjusting for various factors, including electrostatic interactions between the electrons and nuclei and effects caused by nonzero temperature. Lieb and Yau have given a rigorous derivation of the limit from a relativistic many-particle Schrödinger equation.
In 1926, the British physicist Ralph H. Fowler observed that the relationship between the density, energy and temperature of white dwarfs could be explained by viewing them as a gas of nonrelativistic, non-interacting electrons and nuclei which obeyed Fermi-Dirac statistics. This Fermi gas model was then used by the British physicist E. C. Stoner in 1929 to calculate the relationship between the mass, radius, and density of white dwarfs, assuming them to be homogenous spheres. Wilhelm Anderson applied a relativistic correction to this model, giving rise to a maximum possible mass of approximately 1.37 kg. In 1930, Stoner derived the internal energy-density equation of state for a Fermi gas, and was then able to treat the mass-radius relationship in a fully relativistic manner, giving a limiting mass of approximately (for μe=2.5) 2.19 · 1030 kg. Stoner went on to derive the pressure-density equation of state, which he published in 1932. These equations of state were also previously published by the Russian physicist Yakov Frenkel in 1928, together with some other remarks on the physics of degenerate matter. Frenkel's work, however, was ignored by the astronomical and astrophysical community.
A series of papers published between 1931 and 1935 had its beginning on a trip from India to England in 1930, where the Indian physicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar worked on the calculation of the statistics of a degenerate Fermi gas. In these papers, Chandrasekhar solved the hydrostatic equation together with the nonrelativistic Fermi gas equation of state, and also treated the case of a relativistic Fermi gas, giving rise to the value of the limit shown above. Chandrasekhar reviews this work in his Nobel Prize lecture. This value was also computed in 1932 by the Soviet physicist Lev Davidovich Landau, who, however, did not apply it to white dwarfs.
Chandrasekhar's work on the limit aroused controversy, owing to the opposition of the British astrophysicist Arthur Stanley Eddington. Eddington was aware that the existence of black holes was theoretically possible, and also realized that the existence of the limit made their formation possible. However, he was unwilling to accept that this could happen. After a talk by Chandrasekhar on the limit in 1935, he replied:
The star has to go on radiating and radiating and contracting and contracting until, I suppose, it gets down to a few km. radius, when gravity becomes strong enough to hold in the radiation, and the star can at last find peace. … I think there should be a law of Nature to prevent a star from behaving in this absurd way!Eddington's proposed solution to the perceived problem was to modify relativistic mechanics so as to make the law P=K1ρ5/3 universally applicable, even for large ρ. Although Bohr, Fowler, Pauli, and other physicists agreed with Chandrasekhar's analysis, at the time, owing to Eddington's status, they were unwilling to publicly support Chandrasekhar., pp. 110–111 Through the rest of his life, Eddington held to his position in his writings, including his work on his fundamental theory. The drama associated with this disagreement is one of the main themes of Empire of the Stars, Arthur I. Miller's biography of Chandrasekhar. In Miller's view:
Chandra's discovery might well have transformed and accelerated developments in both physics and astrophysics in the 1930s. Instead, Eddington's heavy-handed intervention lent weighty support to the conservative community astrophysicists, who steadfastly refused even to consider the idea that stars might collapse to nothing. As a result, Chandra's work was almost forgotten., p. 150
The core of a star is kept from collapsing by the heat generated by the fusion of nuclei of lighter elements into heavier ones. At various points in a star's life, the nuclei required for this process will be exhausted, and the core will collapse, causing it to become denser and hotter. A critical situation arises when iron accumulates in the core, since iron nuclei are incapable of generating further energy through fusion. If the core becomes sufficiently dense, electron degeneracy pressure will play a significant part in stabilizing it against gravitational collapse.
If a main-sequence star is not too massive (less than approximately 8 solar masses), it will eventually shed enough mass to form a white dwarf having mass below the Chandrasekhar limit, which will consist of the former core of the star. For more massive stars, electron degeneracy pressure will not keep the iron core from collapsing to very great density, leading to formation of a neutron star, black hole, or, speculatively, a quark star. (For very massive, low-metallicity stars, it is also possible that instabilities will destroy the star completely.) During the collapse, neutrons are formed by the capture of electrons by protons, leading to the emission of neutrinos., pp. 1046–1047. The decrease in gravitational potential energy of the collapsing core releases a large amount of energy which is on the order of 1046 joules (100 foes.) Most of this energy is carried away by the emitted neutrinos. This process is believed to be responsible for supernovae of types Ib, Ic, and II.
Type Ia supernovae derive their energy from runaway fusion of the nuclei in the interior of a white dwarf. This fate may befall carbon-oxygen white dwarfs that accrete matter from a companion giant star, leading to a steadily increasing mass. It is believed that, as the white dwarf's mass approaches the Chandrasekhar limit, its central density increases, and, as a result of compressional heating, its temperature also increases. This results in an increasing rate of fusion reactions, eventually igniting a thermonuclear flame which causes the supernova., §5.1.2
Strong indications of the reliability of Chandrasekhar's formula are:

So, how does this work?
What's the catch?
Can we trust you?
Do we get airport transfers?
Does this come with or can we add tickets?
Can we add a dining plan?
How do we contact you?
So, how does this work?
It's quite simple really. We have contracted with many DVC (Disney Vacation Club) owners to book trips - exactly to your specifications - using their deeded allotment of travel time at Walt Disney World's highest category of resorts. These are our Trip Suppliers.
The savings to you is incredible. It can be over 60% compared to Disney's published prices (our quoted prices are the final price you will pay for your selected resort - no extra charges from us ever). And once you check-in, you have the same exact access to the most incredible sights, sounds, and amenities that Disney has to offer... INCLUDING Top of the World Lounge access at Bay Lake Tower (access subject to change per Disney policy).
Take note of the Availabilty Chance on the table with the list of resorts (it appears after you enter your check-in, number of nights, and rooom type details). Availability Chance is simply our professional estimate of how likely your room is to be available -- but it's still just a best-guess. We don't verify definite availability until after a nominal and refundable deposit is paid (deposit is refundable if resort choice is not available).
PLUS - with many reservation combinations, you will also receive a Disney® Gift Card - courtesy of your friends at MaximumMouse for use in the parks, at the resorts, or anywhere on Disney property. The amount of the gift card, if applicable, is clealy displayed in the reservation process - next to where the Availability Chance and the resort prices are displayed. Your Disney Gift Card will be delivered to your room within 1 business day of check-in -- and may be in the form of a folio credit (for items you charge to your room - anywhere on Disney property) as opposed to a physical gift card.
What's the catch?
Availability is sort of a "catch." Just because Disney shows avaiability doesn't mean we have availability. The inventory we have access to has less rooms - but at prices MUCH less too. Please - be flexible. If you want one deluxe resort only, and will not consider another for your dates, we won't have as much of a chance to get you an amazing resort at a huge discount.
The only real "catch" is limited housekkeping.
Simply put, you'll get replenishment of towels after day 4. Your room will be fully made up after day 7.
You can opt for nominally priced, full housekeeping services on a pay-as-you-want basis. Contact the individual resort for exact pricing.
Also, we have a fairly strict cancellation policy:
More than 60 days notice = 50% cancellation fee; Less than 60 days notice = 100% cancellation fee
>> Please purchase trip insurance (Google it) for a variety of fairly inexpensive plans to protect you in the event you think you may have to cancel your trip.
Finally, we charge a totally refundable deposit of $25 to check your reservation. If your trip is sold out or not available exactly as you requested, we refund your money. If your exact trip is available, the $25 goes toward your balance due.
It just saves us from manually checking trips for folks who aren't ready to book just yet.
If/when your trip is confirmed, you will be required to pay the balance of your trip within 24 hours - so be on the lookout for the invoice that finalizes your exciting & magical Deluxe Disney Resort Villa reservation.
Can we trust you?
We have arranged Deluxe Disney Resort Stays for many hundreds of people over the past 3 years or so. We are proud to have 100% client satisfaction -- not 80, not 90, not 99.9 -- 100% satisfaction. If you want references - actual references you can contact - not "blind" testimonials from unverifiable sources, we are more than thrilled to provide.
Further, as far as we know, we are the only DVC/Disney Deluxe Resort broker that is based in Orlando, and is also insured -- by Hiscox USA.
Even still - check our BBB rating (through our parent company, Resort Savvy LLC)
Do we get airport transfers?
YES. Just tell us your flight information at least 28 days prior to arrival and we'll set the whole thing up for you with Disney Magical Express.
If your trip is less than 28 days away, we can still try too, but we can't guarantee all the fancy bag tags and things that Disney might normally send in advance of your trip.
Does this come with or can we add tickets?
Park Tickets are NOT included.
As far as buying tickets, well, not through us.
We're not in the Disney ticket business. Very few people are.
HOWEVER, we do know one particualarly pleasant Disney park tickets reseller.
You can save a little - maybe 20 bucks or so on each ticket - mailed to you at no additional charge.
We'll send you their website when we send your Disney confirmation number.
Can we add a dining plan?
No and Yes. We have decades of Disney experience. We have tried to maximize savings using Disney Dining Plans (DDP). We have only found a very small set of scenarios in which this can occur.
In other words, we, Disney experts, believe DDP is a poor value.
However, we're not here to tell you how to have the most magical time possible. That's up to you.
If you want to add DDP to your reservation, we will do that for a charge of $15 per person (with a maximum serive fee for this of $45).
You pay Disney directly for DDP (and you provide your credit card to Disney via a conference call required to arrange DDP) and we'll bill you separately -- $15 for each person on the DDP.
Please Note: If/when Disney is offering free DDP, we do not also offer free DDP. This is a promotion offered by Disney for a very limited set of days in some years, and it requires paying full-published prices at its resorts + buying park tickets from them for a specific set of dates -- our hugely discounted business model does not leave room for such matching promotions. Besides, you'll still end up saving money if you buy the Deluxe resort from us and buy the DDP from Disney separately (instead of taking it for "free" from Disney) - that we guarantee.
How do we contact you?
Fastest and easiest way: Contact Us Here (this mailbox is always monitored)

During Sunday's World Cup match, when Germany's Christoph Kramer slammed his head into the shoulder of Argentina's Ezequiel Garay, the commentators for the match couldn't help but discuss the seriousness of concussions - yet Kramer played another 15 minutes before being helped off the field, dazed and slumping. And this wasn't the first major blow to the head during the month-long World Cup (Uruguay's Alvaro Pereira overruled his team doctor and continued playing after being knocked out, and Argentina's Javier Mascherano returned almost immediately after staggering to the ground following a blow to the head).
The question was raised in each occasion - is two or three minutes long enough for a player to be evaluated for a concussion following a blow to the head?
Dr. Anne Russo from the TOSH Concussion Clinic is available today at 1 p.m. to speak to news media about the seriousness of concussions, symptoms of a suspected concussion, proper evaluation following a blow to the head, and recommended treatment.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 1.6 to 3.8 millions concussions occur each year. In Utah, roughly 6,000 Utahns were treated and released from the emergency room in 2011 for a concussion. Of those, 41.7 percent were due to sports or recreational activities. Twenty-five percent of concussions from sports and recreational activities were among teens, ages 15-19, with 22 percent among children ages 10-14.
It should also be noted that fewer than 10 percent of sports-related concussions involve the player experiencing a loss of consciousness (i.e., blacking out, seeing stars, etc.). The most common symptoms immediately following a concussion are headaches (85 percent) and dizziness (70-80 percent).
Girls soccer is ranked No. 1 for the number of concussions, with high school football in second place. With both of these sports gearing up for practice in the coming weeks, parents, coaches and players need to understand that a blow to the head should be taken seriously, especially in the developing brain of a teenager.

Index defects in the theory of nonlocal boundary value problems and the η-invariant
- The paper deals with elliptic theory on manifolds with boundary represented as a covering space. We compute the index for a class of nonlocal boundary value problems. For a nontrivial covering, the index defect of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer boundary value problem is computed. We obtain the Poincaré duality in the K-theory of the corresponding manifolds with singularities.

Israel Minister for Foreign Affairs Avigdor Lieberman looks on during a press conference with the Cypriot Foreign Affairs Minister, the European Union Commissioner for Enlargement, and the European Neighbourhood Policy adviser, on July 24, 2012, at the EU Headquarters in Brussels, (AFP PHOTO/GEORGES GOBET)
BRUSSELS: The European Union turned down a request Tuesday by Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman to blacklist Hezbollah as a terror group after last week's deadly bombing in Bulgaria.
"There is no consensus for putting Hezbollah on the list of terrorist organizations," said Cypriot Foreign Minister Erato Kozakou-Marcoullis, whose country currently holds the rotating EU presidency.
Israel blames Iran and Hezbollah for Wednesday's suicide attack at the Black Sea airport of Burgas in which five Israelis and their Bulgarian driver died.
Sitting alongside the Cypriot minister at a news conference held after annual EU-Israel talks, Lieberman said: "The time has come to put Hezbollah on the terrorist list of Europe."
"It would give the right signal to the international community and the Israeli people."
But Kozakou-Marcoullis said Hezbollah was an organisation comprising a party as well as an armed wing and was "active in Lebanese politics".
"Taking into account this and other aspects there is no consensus for putting Hezbollah on the list of terrorist organizations," she said.
The EU would consider this if there were tangible evidence of Hezbollah engaging in acts of terror, she added.

I honestly don't see companies like Adobe switch their apps to Metro anytime soon. Hell, not even Microsoft can be bothered brining their larger apps over. Office 2013, Microsoft Visual Studio 2012, etc. all run on the desktop. Of course you're probably right when it comes to smaller day-to-day apps.
Better get used to it. This is where much app development will be. For better or worse.

Gen. Duncan J. McNabb, Commander, U.S. Transportation Command, Scott Air Force Base, Ill and his wife are assisted by Emily Hulberg, Missouri National Guard's Teen Leadership Council, in preparing their package for Operation Homefront. (Photo by Abigail Rolbiecki)
By Nancy K. Lane
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri National Guard Child and Youth Program has taken on a new focus: leadership development and community service among teens.
With this in mind, the program formed the Teen Leadership Council, said Abigail Rolbiecki, child and youth coordinator for the Missouri National Guard. Members of the council work with the adult sponsors to organize monthly meetings, activities and service projects for Missouri National Guard children between the ages of 13 and 18. Council members and advisors also gather for quarterly leadership retreats.
"When we initially began working on developing a leadership council, our main motive was to get teens involved with civic engagement and leadership," Rolbiecki said.
These young people recently worked with Jon Jerome of Operation Homefront in St. Louis at the Touhill Performing Arts Center to help build care packages to be sent to deployed military personnel.
Members of the community came to Touhill to purchase the items of their choice supplied by Operation Homefront to fill the care packages. Teen Leadership Council members boxed the items for overseas shipment. Packages could be sent to family members, friends or to deployed service members selected by the program.
Gen. Duncan J. McNabb, commander of U.S. Transportation Command at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., attended the event. In addition to the typical care package items sent to the deployed Soldiers and Airmen, McNabb included his military coin.
McNabb also presented a coin to Emily Hulberg, of the Teen Leadership Council, for her assistance and dedication to the deployed Soldiers and Airmen and the Operation Homefront Project. Hulberg, of Linn, Mo., is the daughter of Sgt. Abbi Buhr, of Joint Force Headquarters human resource office and Master Sgt. Bradley Buhr, 835th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion.
"To have someone of such a distinguished rank come to a community event and not only participate in the overall program but with our service project, speaks loudly," said Rolbecki. "It was a great representation of leadership at its finest. It meant a lot for General McNabb to participate in the service project and to give Emily his coin."
The event is just the first in what Rolbiecki said will be a long line of similar events that allow the teens to follow in their parents' footsteps.
"The kids who participate in the Teen Leadership Council are children of members in the Guard and their parents have volunteered their time and will to protect our nation," Rolbiecki said. "We want our teens to partake in a similar act of volunteerism only on a community level. They look up to their parents, and often want to be like them, and this is a way for them to give back.""
The council has a variety of activities planned for the coming months. In February, they travel to Rolla, Mo., to plant flowers for the residents of the veterans' home and local nursing homes.
In March, the youth have planned a college tour of Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo.
The annual Missouri National Guard Youth Symposium will be held April 14-16 in St. Louis at the Hilton Ball Park Inn. The symposium is for Missouri National Guard children ages of 6-18 and their parents.
Registration for the symposium is due by Feb. 28. Interested parties should contact Abigail Rolbiecki at 573-638-9500, ext. 7094 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
For more information about the Missouri National Guard, please call 1-800-GoGuard or visit www.moguard.com.

Susan Rice Isn't Going Quietly
Susan Rice Isn't Going Quietly
BY THE TIME Susan Rice withdrew her name from the running for secretary of state earlier this month, she had emerged in the media as one of Washington's most nefarious personalities. After Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham denounced the American ambassador to the United Nations for "misleading" the American people over the September 11 attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya, she was accused of, among other things, having a "personality 'disorder,'" of harboring a "breathless" confidence in African strongmen, of being a "headmistress," of having "sharp elbows," of having a voice "always right on the edge of a screech," of being an interventionist, of not intervening when it mattered.
"Was she also responsible for the drop in temperature between Tuesday and today?" snapped Gayle Smith, a senior director on the National Security Council (NSC). Smith belongs to an army of Rice loyalists who sprang to her defense, in lieu of a nominee's war room. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton privately made supportive sojourns to Capitol Hill; Special Assistant to the President Samantha Power became such a fervent advocate that New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof asked a mutual friend to tell her to tone it down. "It's having the opposite effect," he reportedly complained. (Kristof denies he gave Power "private advice on how to do her job.") Although President Barack Obama initially defended Rice, by the time she decided to withdraw, he did not attempt to change her mind. "I'm not saying it was a nudge," says one Rice ally. "I'm also not saying anyone begged her to stay."
Still, there's no reason to think that Rice's career is over. Administration sources are not ruling out the possibility that she could be tapped to serve as national security advisor, a post that does not require Senate confirmation. And regardless of her title, Rice will remain one of Obama's most trusted advisers. She was instrumental in the formation of his foreign policy before he came to the White House—an experience she describes as "a meeting of the minds"—and her family and his are now friends.
In her quick ascent through the foreign policy establishment—Rhodes scholar, Oxford Ph.D., one of the youngest assistant secretaries of state at age 33, veteran of many a Democratic presidential campaign—Rice has a public persona that is somehow both forceful and elusive. The many critiques leveled at her tend to distill into a contradictory assessment—that she is too political and not political enough.

Why I Was Fired
I worked for a grassroots nonprofit for three years as the admin and media person. I wasn't that surprised, as I have been fired once before and already knew all the signs. My former boss didn't go over too many past actions that led to my dismissal, but told me that the orgs priorities and my position were changing and they needed a person with better expertise in office management and organizing. She said that if things were different and if they could afford more employees they would gladly keep me on as the media person. She even suggested I occationally work freelance to help keep up their website.
What Being Fired Has Been Like
Getting fired is always a painful big shot to one's ego. At first I was hurt, but understanding of the decision made. I also understand it was a hard thing for my employer to do, as it was a very close working environment where all the employees generally liked and cared for each other.
But those feeling were soon to be charged. My last day at work was Aug 31 and I didn't receive my final paycheck until early October. And this was after sending them several emails about the issue. After I sent one email telling them the grief I had to deal with because I had not received my final paycheck, I received a nasty reply from my ex-boss explaining how I was a horrible employee, what a horrible job I did closing out my job (even though I did every thing I was asked) and that the reason it was taking them so long to get me my final paycheck was because she was considering not paying me at all. Hoping to not burn any bridges and to not provoke any power tripping that could keep me from getting unemployment, I apologized for my shortcoming, thanked her for paying me and went in to pick up my final check (handwritten, not the norm). Even after all that I still had to wait another month and had to send more emails before I was able to receive the pay stub to that final check so I could apply for unemployment.
In addition to this, while talking to a former employee, I found that that my ex-boss had told everyone that I was fired, even after she told me she wouldn't. For some reason I was still on the orgs mailing list after my firing, and I received a email announcing the newly opened position. When I was working there my position was only half time, and this new job was ¾ time, and addition the job didn't require any of the media responsibilities that I had. This validated my suspicions that I wasn't given enough hours to do the job properly.
I could understand my dismissal, but they way my ex-boss treated me afterward left me feeling greatly betrayed. I considered my ex-boss as a friend. I even invited her over my house on a few occasions, and she as well as my other co-workers were a great support during my pregnancy. It's just really saddening how this all turned out, because of her actions after the firing I'd lost all respect and goodwill I had towards her.
To add, this is a social justice org, and my former boss understands how systems of power and oppression work, but still chose to abuse her power over me anyways.
- Understand that sometimes things need to be cleared out of your life to make room for better things.
- Believe in Karma. Unprofessional attitudes will only serve to come around to bite your former boss in the future.
- Take an honest inventory of what you could have done to prevent your dismissal, as well as things that were out of your control. Make it a priority to change the parts of you that lead to your dismissal and refuse to feel guilty about what you couldn't control.

- The Words of Grandmaster
The International Karate Traditional Martial
Arts League YOSHUKAI General Head Office
Katsuoh Yamamoto
I had never thought of becoming a martial artist.
When I was a little, I was beaten in children's fight. This incident opened my eyes. My desire for being strong grew and I began thinking how I could train myself to become stronger. I kept thinking about it night after night. Without a certain goal, I joined the Japan Self-Defense Forces, where my strong association with Karate began.
The fighting arts have become part of my life. I started practicing Karate at the age of 13 and trained Chito-ryu Karate under the instructor Dr. Tsuyoshi Chitose in Kumamoto. In 1963, I found Yoshukai in Kitakyushu-shi.
Although I was the owner of dojo, it was small and I suffered from financial distress. Nevertheless, I devoted myself to intensive training and always strove for something new, something that was never done in traditional Karate. Actual Karate was one of such trials. For that, people sometimes misunderstood and criticized me. But if anything these hardships served as the driving force for rather vitalizing me.
"I will never give in." Under this spirit I have pushed myself beyond my limit.

A northern California hiking guide and photo essay
By Jeremy Branham on May 11, 2012 with Comments 31
Mountains, trees, lakes, waterfalls, warm sunshine, and some of the best natural beauty in the world. While this isn't the Swiss Alps and you won't hike to Mount Everest, northern California hiking trails offer some of the best scenery and views in the world.
A northern California hiking guide
Picture a canvas with brushstrokes of green and brown going to the top. Painted alongside is a dark blue color washed in mystery. Above is a wisp of white and gray which casts a silhouette over the dark blue abyss. At the bottom we see a golden color stretching across as a tapestry of colors comes together in the distance creating a bright, glorious city.
Welcome to Muir Woods National Monument and Mt Tamalpais State Park!
Northern California hiking trails offer a variety of landscapes and colors. Enjoy the hillsides above the San Francisco Bay or hike along the cliffs of a beach enshrouded in fog.
Head to the northeast and escape to the tranquil mountains of the Sierra Nevadas. Lake Tahoe is one of the most pristine lakes in the world. Its deep blue color is surrounded on all sides as the mountain peaks of Mount Tallac and his brethren keep a watchful eye to preserve its innocence and beauty.
Get away from Tahoe and enter the back roads and highways where trees and lakes are tucked away. There you will discover the Fall colors and small town charm in towns like Hope Valley and Markleeville.
California has hot springs, caves, and a number of lakes as you embark on a journey to discover her hidden beauty. Get the view from above from one of the highest peaks in the area as you look out over the mountains and creation.
Round Top will test your stamina and legs but will reward you with some of the most beautiful lakes in the area, including a long distance view of Lake Take. Just a few miles from South Lake Tahoe, Horsetail Falls may be the most spectacular waterfall not found in Yosemite.
For those who love North Lake Tahoe, the Mt Judah trail offers panoramic views of Donner Lake, the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and plenty of lakes and trees from high atop Mt Judah.
Nearby, you can relax with friends or family for a casual stroll through Apple Hill to enjoy some food, easy hikes, and a sense of community.
There's so much of California to explore when it comes to hiking. Some of the most famous places in the world are here as Yosemite National Park welcomes tourists every year to waterfalls, fertile valleys, and mountain top experiences.
Heading up north, you head towards the highest peak in California – Mount Whitney. Or you can head to the coast and enjoy coastal towns along Highway 1 as you journey to Fort Bragg and Mendocino.
Any time of year is great for visiting California. For me, Fall is my favorite time of year. Many weekend getaways in northern California will allow you to escape and see a different side of this state – far away from the movie stars, beaches, and world famous city by the bay.
Without a doubt, California offers hikers every type of scenery you could imagine. And if a few photos of these places aren't enough to convince you, come see the canvas of colors and creation that northern California hiking trails have to offer.
Where are you favorite places to hike in northern California?

Northern California has so many gorgeous hiking trails. I love to go out to Point Reyes and do one of the beach hikes in the summer. Last week, I was hiking the beautiful Palomarin trail in Bolinas and passed a naked hiker! Needless to say, he didn't have any tans lines
LOL about the naked hiker. Yikes.
These photos are a great inspiration for me to explore these areas when we have nice weather. I love these areas but haven't done much hiking, which is the best way to really see the area.
Wonderful pictures!!! I LOVE Northern California hiking… although Baldwin Beach looks divine for lingering. I'll be checking out Lassen this summer, which is apparently the least requested park in California. We'll see, but I'm happy to see that there's an endless amount to explore.
What a gorgeous photo essay. The lead photo from Hope Valley reminds me of Lake in the Clouds in Michigan, which is perhaps the most beautiful overlook in the Midwest.
Jeremy I have to say that is a really fantastic photo essay! Not only are the pictures really inviting but the colors alone just make you want to be there.
It must have been a great time!
I hiked the A. Trail a few years ago and that was pretty amazing. The best spots for hiking for views (for me anyway) is coastal Maine. Mt. Katahdin is really awesome.
My new blog is called Couch Crack. I have so many friends that always tell me if they had the money they would travel. So I decided to write a blog about great travel you can do cheap. Not the normal "budget travel" niche but more of an alternative travel blog that focuses on things like Street Food (which is often better than high priced restaurants) and free or cheap activities that are just as great as the things so many people pay a lot of money for.
Like hiking is certainly one of the things that costs very little to do compared to "touristy" activities.
You're right, Jeremy, it might not be the Alps or Everest, the trails are so beautiful. Your photos are like postcards. Makes me want to lace up my boots and hike!
Let me know if you get up to Lassen, Jeremy! I'm going in June to beat the crowds and I want to see it because of all the volcanic activity. After that, I heard the Redwoods up north are divine. Then I want to hit Death Valley… and on and on….
What a beautiful photo essay. Northern Cali is definitely on my bucket list now!
Ahhh, Lake Tahoe – one of my favorite places in California! We haven't done much hiking there, but we did get a chance to go off-roading a bit two years ago. We even saw a black bear!
Sadly, all I've seen of California is LA. And Alcatraz.
Ahhh. So many people have told me I need to go to Northern California. Their reasons don't include photos like this, though!! Now it's just a matter of figuring out when I can make this trip happen!
Beautiful, breathtaking, remarkable! Such a great place to see nature at its best! I loved these pictures and the memories they bring back, thanks for sharing.
What a fantastic post. I love California, yet unfortunately made it only to some of its southern areas despite earlier plans. The rest of it is still on my bucket list, and even more so after this post.
You definitely inspired me to want to hike in Northern California! I've only hiked in John Muir Woods which was fabulous.

One of the features I find useful in Excel is the ability to create "pivot" tables. Essentially pivot tables let you summarize big tables of data in different ways, using different variables to "pivot" your data around (hence the name, I guess). Pivot tables are most easily understood through an example, so here's one done using Excel 2007, and the sort-of-equivalent "Data-Pilot" in OpenOffice.org Calc (OO.o Calc).
Below is the data we'll be working with. As you can see, it's a long spreadsheet with eight columns (Representative, Region, Month, Publisher, Subject, Sales, Margin, and Quantity) and over 300 rows. Certain calculations, like total sum of sales, are easy–you just select the sales column and use Excel's or OO.o Calc's sum function. But what if you wanted total sum of sales, but organized first by region, then by representative? That's where pivot tables come into play, so let's get started!
Download the CSV file and open it up in Excel. Select all the data, jump over to the "insert" menu, and click on "PivotTable". This will open a dialog box similar to the following.
I usually select the option to insert the pivot table in a new sheet, and this brings us to the following screen.
Pretty plain looking, right?
The important part is the "PivotTable Field List" menu to the right of the screen. In the top half, you have a list of the variables in your data. The bottom half is where the "pivoting" gets set up simply by dragging the variables into the relevant areas in the bottom. In this example, I started by dragging "Region" to be the primary way to summarize the rows, and I dragged "Representative" below that to indicate that the rows should be further sorted by the sales representatives, and finally I dragged "Sales", "Margin", and "Quantity" to the sum value box.
By default, Excel assumes you want the sum, but you can also do different data summaries by right-clicking on the variables that you've dragged to the "values" corner. Whatever you drag into the filters area will create additional filter options for your data.
Experiment a little bit–drag things around a bit and see what types of consolidated results you end up with. Whatever you change in the PivotTable Field List dialog area is immediately reflected in the main spreadsheet area (which is one huge advantage that Excel 2007 has over OO.o Calc).
By dragging some variables around, here's what we can quickly end up with:
The process in OpenOffice.org Calc is pretty similar. The option can be found under the "Data" menu under "DataPilot". The screencap below shows the DataPilot options window with some variables dragged into the relevant areas to create a simple pivot table in OO.o Calc.
The "Page Fields" region in OO.o Calc is the equivalent of the filters area in Excel 2007. The rest is pretty much the same, just not as pretty. The output (in the screencap below) isn't as pretty either, but it serves its function just fine.
So, now that you know all about pivot tables in Excel and OO.o Calc, you can have a data sorting and summarizing party. Once you get bored with that, you can sit around impatiently and wait for me to write about how you can do this sort of thing with R.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs GM Kevin Towers on SS decision: 'We decided to go with the better offensive player'
Speaking in front of the assembled media following the Arizona Diamondbacks' final tune-up of the spring Saturday afternoon at Chase Field, general manager Kevin Towers admitted that the starting shortstop decision was by no means an easy one.
The incumbent, Didi Gregorius, hit .252 with seven home runs and 28 RBI in 2013, but was better known for his range in the field rather than his presence at the plate.
The challenger, Chris Owings, claimed the Pacific League's Rookie and Player of the Year in 2013 and batted .291 with five RBI in 61 plate appearances last September.
In the battle between the two young shortstops -- Gregorius (24) and Owings (22) -- Towers and Co. opted for the latter.
"On the shortstop front, all decision are tough but this we probably agonized on probably more than any of the other ones," Towers said. "Both are quality players. We spent about an hour prior to the game looking at pros and cons of both sides, weighing strengths of both guys. It was almost equal once again.
"We have decided to start the season with Chris Owings as our shortstop, and we'll be optioning Didi Gregorius to Reno."
The news wasn't all that surprising considering Owings hit .288 with a home run and six RBIs this spring compared to Gregorius' .222 average and four runs driven in.
And while the Dutchman might have a slight advantage when it comes to the glove, ultimately it wasn't enough to sway the vote.
As Towers put it, with Arizona minus its top starting pitcher Patrick Corbin and setup man David Hernandez for the entire season, the team needs some pop in its lineup.
"I think we probably view C.O.'s bat a little ahead of Didi's at this time," said Towers. "And because of the injuries we've had to our pitching staff, we're going to have score runs to win games.
"I'm not knocking our pitching staff. Hopefully they'll be able to put a lot of goose eggs up there, but we feel this year specifically that we're going to have to score a lot runs to win ball games. Having [Owings'] bat in the lineup, there's power there and its quick. We decided to go with, in our eyes at least, the guy that was the better offensive player."

The newly-appointed Acting National Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, Maxi Okwu, may have been barred from entering the party's National Secretariat in Abuja, foreclosing early resolution of the crisis in the party.
A party official, who prefers anonymity, told PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday that the new National Working Committee, NWC, backed by the Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, has no business at the secretariat located at 41B Libreville Crescent, Wuse 2, Abuja, and referring to them as 'usurpers.'
"They have no business here and they should not come close to this place," the official said. "They are usurpers and illegal and they know this and they should not come here."
Mr. Okwu was adopted to replace Victor Umeh as acting chairman after a meeting of a caucus of the party in Abuja last Saturday. Sani Shinkafi, who is the National Secretary of the faction led by Mr. Umeh was asked to retain his position while a former Minister of Health, Tim Menakaya, was appointed chairman of the party's Board of Trustees, BOT.
The appointments were made in response to the judgment of an Enugu High Court, which sacked Mr. Umeh and other members of the NWC on the ground that their election breached Section 18 of the party's constitution.
Efforts to speak with Mr. Umeh on the development failed as he could not be reached even though he was cited at the secretariat when PREMIUM TIMES visited.
Several telephone calls to his mobile telephone were not responded to, while Mr. Shinkafi's mobile telephone was also switched off.
The party's National Director of Publicity, Iheanacho Oguejiofor, refused to comment when PREMIUM TIMES sought to speak with him.
We'll get another secretariat
Mr. Okwu, however, said his team would not fight over the national secretariat now manned by a gun-wielding policeman who was drafted to join the security team apparently to forestall trouble from the opposing faction.
"We don't need it. We are opening a new secretariat," he told PREMIUM TIMES in a telephone interview, adding that the new secretariat would be in place when he returns from a trip to Lagos next week.
At the height of the crisis last year, Mr. Obi led a group of party members to appoint Sadiq Massala and Ifedi Okwema as National Chairman and Secretary of the Party respectively.
Mr. Massala, who allegedly felt betrayed by the governor, has also declared publicly that he is leading a faction of APGA quite distinct from the one led by Mr. Okwu who himself was once a Deputy National Chairman of the Party before he left to float Citizens Popular Party, CPP.
Mr. Umeh was quoted in the media on Tuesday as saying that Mr. Obi has no power under APGA's constitution to convene a meeting of the crisis-ridden party to pick a new acting chairman and secretary, insisting that he had already appealed the judgment.
The embattled party boss said he was elected to replace the founding national chairman of the party, Chekwas Okorie, in 2006, adding that he is currently running his second term of four years which would expire next year.

Saturday 8 June from 11am in Ashton Town Centre the Tameside Keep Our National Health Public (KONP) group will be running a street stall and asking local people to join their campaign.
Tameside KONP are part of the national KONP which is campaigning to challenge the privatisation of the NHS that started from 1 April 2013. The campaign has organised groups across the country to ensure that:
* · The new organisations that will take over running the NHS locally, the Clinical Commissioning Groups, are accountable to local people
* · local hospitals, such as Tameside, to be provided with the finance to provide a high quality service for local people
They are calling on local GP's to join the campaign and choose NHS services, rather than contracting with the private sector. Recently the group met with Jonathan Reynolds MP to raise their concerns particularly about the lack of accountability and transparency of the new local Clinical Commissioning Groups in Tameside and Oldham.
Local campaigner, Bernadette Hyland, said: "We want the National Health Service to be run for the public, and not for profit, and we are therefore asking people to join us to defend a much loved part of the British way of life.
The campaign can be contacted at email@example.com
Dear friends
Our first public branch meeting took place on 8 May and a branch was constituted. At the meeting we agreed to continue to publicise the big changes happening to the NHS and several members agreed to organise another street stall as well as meet with local MPs and lobby the new commissioning bodies for the health service ie. the CCG's.
We have had 2 street stalls in Mossley and Hyde and our next one is in Ashton on Saturday 8 June 11-1pm. At these we have distributed postcards to local GP surgeries and have had limited responses from the GPs. Pennine Medical Centre have referred us to Oldham Clinical Commissioning Group, even though they will be taking the flak from patients when they will be unable to get procedures or referrals. Our petition about the NHS is very popular and we intend to hand it into the CCG's. See http://keepournhspublicgmcr.com/konpmcr-petition/
Letters have gone out to Tameside and Oldham CCGs requesting meetings and to find out about the way in which contracts are being distributed. Due to the lack of response from Oldham CCG we have sent copies to local MPs and Leaders of Tameside and Oldham council. Michael Meacher's Secretary is getting our letter to the Oldham CCG passed on personally at the next CCG meeting.
On 24 May Barbara and Michael met with Jonathan Reynolds MP to discuss our campaign and seek support. He is sympathetic and wants to be kept in touch with our actions.
Christine and I spoke at a local Young at Heart meeting and received a donation which has been used to purchase resources for our street stalls.
Our activities have been publicised in the local press and we have advertised in free publications such as the Mossley Browser.
Please join us at our next meeting; 12 June at 7pm at Stalybridge Buffet Bar
Contact me at Tameside email@example.com
Bernadette Hyland
Tameside Keep Our National Health Service Public welcomed Dr. Kailash Chand, Deputy Chair of the British Medical Association, to their street stall at Hyde Market Place on Saturday 13 April. Alongside the people of Hyde he signed their petition to keep the NHS public.
Tameside KONP representative Bernadette Hyland said; "In Hyde we were overwhelmed with the support for our campaign from local people who are users and workers in the local NHS. Like us, they are calling on local GPs and the new Clinical Commissioning Groups to choose NHS services and not tender public services out to other private providers whose primary aim is profit not people."
