Posted on 07/27/2012 1:11:47 PM PDT by Dysart
It's getting easy to overlook the tired rhetoric and hollow tension surrounding Iran, the U.S. and Israel.
It's been months, and months since the back-and-forth began. First, Iran's shutting the Strait of Hormuz, then its saying it'd never shut the strait. Then Israel's planning a solo attack. No, they're not.
It's frustrating, but that doesn't mean the situation couldn't turn ugly at the drop of a hat.
Joby Warick at The Washington Post reports improved Iranian weapons and an enhanced plan of attack could nail the U.S. fleet parked in the Gulf and there may be little Navy officials can do about it.
From The Post:
[Iran's] emerging strategy relies not only on mobile missile launchers but also on new mini-submarines, helicopters and hundreds of heavily armed small boats known as fast-attack craft. These highly maneuverable small boats, some barely as long as a subway car, have become a cornerstone of Irans strategy for defending the gulf against a much larger adversary. The vessels can rapidly deploy Irans estimated 2,000 anti-ship mines or mass in groups to strike large warships from multiple sides at once, like a cloud of wasps attacking much larger prey.
This is the scenario that is giving people nightmares, said [an] official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in discussing strategy for defending against a possible Iranian attack.
We recently wrote on one strategy for thwarting a multi-pronged attack against a naval task force, but Raytheon's new system isn't up for handling the hundreds of heavily armed small boats officials believe Iran would send against the U.S. fleet.
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
Iran said to have hundreds of these babies ready to attack in waves
I'd be interested to know where those boys are planning on hiding once they try it.
Isn't that similar to what Sadam Hussein and Osama said?
Do it so we can send their technology level back to the 7th century.
"there may be little Navy officials can do about it"
Somehow I doubt it.
U.S. said to know exactly where all of them are stored.
Attack aircraft carry thousands of rounds of ammo. Lil' boats ought to blow up reeeeal good.
I guess we're in trouble now.
Hey, an online publication's got to get pageviews.
October surprise?
Is a carrier going to disappear under an Iranian mushroom?
The meat of this article is that we learn that subway cars are a tad longer than the Iranian Navy gun boats. It gives the unwashed ignorati a true perspective of the danger
... and here is Saddam's "Victory over America Palace"...
Point taken. Somehow I don't think any ship Captains are dismissing the threats entirely. That's a lot easier for us. Not sure how a big ship would counter them other than maintaining adequate distance at all times. They only have to be lucky once if they're packed with explosives.
Unless Iran is only sending 11 boats, that RAM system might be a tad under-gunned.
Don't worry. We'll make more.
what a crock. you really think the USN is going to sit there and wait? 30 minutes after the war starts 80% of the Iranian assets will be slag.
Reminds me of Dan Rather on the eve of the Iraq war going on and on about how powerful Iraq was, how their artillery was so much better than ours blah da lib blah blah. How did that work out ?
A carrier would have a couple launcher pods of RAM missles plus 3 more Phalanx gun pods. Ya gotta hope the screening force would thin the herd a bit before the carrier would need to worry about them. :)
I would hope so, but I have no doubt that Iran is able to muster a virtually unlimited number of suicidal conscripts. Better safe than sorry.
I'm looking for a "Persian Gulf of Tonkin Incident" long about October, at the latest.
They are planning to get 72 virgins on eternal R&R.
Funny but those boats don;t look like they can stand up against a tactical nuke....
Cool tour. The stairs were a little spooky though.
We should never underestimate an enemy. The military knows that, but I'm not sure that Obambi knows it. If the imams manage to inflict significant damage/casualties on a major US warship I would think that Iran's economy for the immediate future would be, as another freeper once put it, "measured in cave paintings."
Waves of dead rag heads pal... that is all that you are seeing here.
During the first Iraq war our A-10s and F-16s and the Navy Hornets went on a virtual cost free killing spree. They created the "Highway of Death for Sadamn's tanks" Boats are a lot easier to kill than tanks.
Our AWACs will know where each and everyone boat is when they leave port. Those small boats will die on the ocean and there will be no port for them to return to.
I think this is the October surprise planned by Obama to win re-election. Obama is a despicable man.
The traffic lane in the SOH is narrow enough that a disguised vessel(s) outside the lanes but inside Iranian waters armed with a hidden Russian made gatlin gun could within a few seconds preemptively blind the radar sets of every port, or starboard looking SeaRAM and CIWS on a carrier.
The reaction wouldn't be pretty, and would afford Obama The Oppressive to look god again. I have to wonder if the reaction would be the same were the damage inflicted by their mines. Can think of no reason why the method would matter in the response. They must recognize that.
"Iran said to have hundreds of these babies ready to attack in wave"
We have a few of these that might be able to stop a couple of them:
They aren't rags, they are sheets.
Correct. The naval battles during the Russo-Japanese War prove your point. No one expected the Russian fleet to be humiliated by a supposedly inferior Asian power.
America is not Russia, and Iran is not Japan. But still the lesson is there.
I put on the swami's turban and predict—some limited success from Shore Launched Rockets and such and maybe a little from a few attack boats. They may sink a capital ship or two but then the full might of the USA will hit them like a steel monsoon of death. The Iranian coast will be occupied—in the end the Mullahs will be swept from power and a new Monarchy set up. The war—will be a full one and have several fronts—even including actions in the USA. One year of fighting at most—if anything—it will resemble the Spanish -American war of 1898.
A few points:
1) Quantity has a quality all its own. Just like with an assassination, if you're not too worried about a successful egress, then all they need to do is get a few of those boats close enough to a carrier or a cruiser, and we lose the PR war even if we take out 95% of those floating subway cars.
2) I'm sure that they have a few tricks up their sleeve that we don't know about, or don't take seriously enough. Just remember, the Israelis were completely surprised in 1973, and though they eventually won (with a lot of material help from us), their reputation took a beating and they ended up losing territories in negotiations. Again, it is the PR war that matters the most in the end, because Iran isn't going to defeat us any more than the NVs were going to.
3) Yes, I know, our Navy is the very best out there, and not by a small margin. I take nothing away from the Navy, esp. since my father was a vet. We, too, have things up our sleeves that the Iranians don't know anything about.
4) I am far more concerned about what Iran is capable of doing away from the Gulf. These range from massive terrorist attacks nationwide (or, for that matter, worldwide), to unleasing Hezbollah and its 60,000+ rockets on Israel (and starting a general Mideast War), to sending a nuke from a cargo ship stationed off our shores up in a rocket and exploding it 100-200 miles above our territory - the resulting EMP would devastate our electrical grid for YEARS, possibly leading to literally millions of deaths in short order (think: no working refineries, fuel pumps, hospitals, food delivery, refrigeration, etc.). Yes, we could turn large parts of their nation into a parking lot, but that wouldn't help much with the damage at home.
Bottom line - though we could easily devastate their armed forces or country if sufficiently provoked, we should not underestimate them. Bluster might feel better, but taking an enemy seriously is far more rational.
Given who we have as Commander-in-Chief, I wouldn't bet on a statement like yours. The possibility is greater that we will try to reach out to the Iranians, try to figure out why we made them mad, and attempt to forego violence.
if the iranians are willing to incur heavy loses they HAVE THE CAPABILITY to overwhelm a carrier battlegroup defenses. the chinese PLAN has been studying this fir years. here are some considerations. the gulf is crap for ASW, especially against diesel boats. they don't have to be as good as ours; consider what havoc just the threat of a submarine caused n the falklands. it is an integrated defense system for the carrier. ignore the carrier and take out a couple of DDGs or CGs and the defense integrity of the battle group will have seriously compromised. given a large number of SSMs launched from boats and land approaching on multiple axis, coupled with the threat of a submarine attack and some airlaunched SSMs and there will be leakers. you don't have to sink a ship, just mission cripple her. this is okinawa all over again with the "kamikazes" bases really close. mines are always a problem, especially if they are just allowed to float free on the currents. add to this tactical consideration political restrictions on rules of engagement and a fear of losing even one sailor or marine or a ship and there could be command paralysis by analysis.
of course those little boats probably don't have the range to get to a carrier group 250 miles off the straits and the SSMs look like exercets or some chinese variant with a range of less then 100 miles and things look much better. doubt the iranian air force would be a huge threat at that distance nor the submarines. IF WE HAVE THE WILL TO FIGHT AND THE COMMON SENSE TO FIGHT TO WIN.
Yes...I have been concerned about that sort of scenario for a while now. His internal polls in September will show him the election is lost...landslide numbers. He will not go gently into the night.
Excellent points, especially #4. Their terror network is far reaching and Persians aren't stupid and nothing if not calculating. The EMP threat is closer to a true nightmare scenario than that tendered in the article. I just don't know if they can manage to move a cargo ship close enough to pull it off. You wouldn't think so.
All Obambi has to do is order the Navy not to shoot back.
Limited wars might make sense between superpowers and their proxies. A limited war with terrorists does not. Killing them half dead won't work. Take them down all the way and insist what rises in their place cannot be an enemy. This should have been done after Iraq fell. If you can get a coup to do it great, if not use the power needed to do it right.
We are pretty helpless alright.

Elena Kagan: Well, That Looks Like My Handwriting On That Memo, But Gee I Don't Know What You're Talking About
The memo, reported yesterday by National Review, has caused a stir in conservative circles because it appeared that Kagan, then a White House policy aide, put words in the medical groupÆs mouth in order to soften its position on the controversial procedure. But when Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch brought the subject up with Kagan, he had a hard time getting her to admit that she did, in fact, write the document in question.
Emphasis added. This is not just politics (which, for whatever reason, we're supposed to pretend we don't take into account). This is demonstrating a clear preference for deception over truth.
The original shenanigans were the first proof of unethical and shady behavior. And now her Vinnie Barbarino act -- "What? Who? Where?" -- is further proof of her fundamental determination to lie and game the system.
She is without candor -- a key prerequisite for a lifetime judicial appointment.
Sounds like she got some interview prep from Hillary Clinton, who famously claimed she didn't remember Whitewater, despite having herself billed hours on it, because she only knew it by its three-letter billing code and never once heard the word "Whitewater."

Defeating the 3-Digit Downer: 7 Steps for Beating the Bad Credit Blues
Your credit score gives you more headaches than 1,000 screaming 2-year-olds (that's up for debate). But, what can you do about it? You need to have a good credit score to buy the things you want and need in life. Sometimes, it's inevitable. For example, most people cannot buy a home or a car without a loan. Beyond loans, credit scores can have impact with your employment and insurance rates. A good credit score has far reaching effects on your financial life. If your struggling right now, here's how to get the credit you need.
Start Checking Your Credit Report
The first thing you can do to improve your credit is to have a look at what others are saying about you. No, you don't need to go around asking everyone whether they would lend you money. Fortunately, your credit history and trustworthiness are codified in a report called your credit report.
Accessing your credit report and score is pretty easy, actually. Just visit annualcreditreport.com and sign up for a free account. You'll get one free credit report per year. This will usually be all that you need, but you can also buy additional reports and services from the site.
While there are many websites out there promising to give you access to your credit reports, annualcreditreport.com is the only one sponsored by the three major credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
Check For Errors
It's not uncommon for people to have mistakes on their credit reports. Unfortunately, many bill collectors, banks, financial institutions and other creditors make mistakes or sometimes maliciously report false information hoping that you won't notice.
Of course, many times, it's also a simple mistake made by the creditor. Either way, you need to get any errors fixed. So, what kind of errors can show up on a credit report? Things like how payments were made, whether they were made on time or late, and even the type of loans taken out can all be mixed up and reported erroneously.
According to Right Direction Financial, many people with bad credit are turned down simply based on their credit report and score – most corporate lenders don't take into consideration who you are or what you do for a living. They don't care about you as a person, just what your credit report says. So, making sure that there are no errors on your report is extremely important, especially if you want a new car or home loan.
Related: Check your credit score with MyFICO, the only place to get your true credit score used by 90% of financial institutions.
Stay On Top Of Your Monthly Payments
If you're behind on any payments, you need to catch up. Most lenders look back 6 months to see that you're current on loan payments and other debts. Don't think that a late utility payment won't be reported either. Some companies do report them, especially if you're behind 3 months or more. Remember, your payment history makes up 35% of your FICO credit score. That's a large percentage to say the least. You need to be diligent.
Don't Add More Debt Just Yet
Don't take on additional debt. When building up your credit, the worst thing you can do is go further into debt. Yes, at some point, you'll be taking on additional loans. But, for right now, you don't want additional debt. You want as little debt as possible. No debt would be ideal, but you should be making an effort to pay down as much as you can. The amount you owe on credit makes up 30% of your FICO score. It's the second largest percentage behind payment history.
Pay Bills Early
Paying your bills early is actually better than paying on time – it gets you in the habit of thinking ahead instead of playing catch up with your debts and regular bills. On-time payments plays a great deal into your credit score, so paying them early will only help you over the long run and create an excellent habit.
Don't Apply For New Credit
Credit inquiries can actually hurt your credit. So, during the credit repair process, do not apply for any new loans or lines of credit. Also, make sure you check before signing any leases or anything which will put a hard pull on your credit report. New credit accounts for 10% of your FICO credit score. You need to be very careful on what you sign up for or add to your credit profile.
Start Saving
Last, but definitely not least, you should be saving money – a lot of it. Even when a loan does not require a down payment, many lenders will appreciate the offer and will sometimes offer you a lower interest rate if you can put any money down.
A generous 10 or 20 percent down is typically for a rate reduction. It also inspires confidence in the lender that you can repay the loan. Why? Because lenders know that people who regularly save money are more inclined and able to repay their debts. In general, savers are more financially responsible. You will need at least 20% down when you buy a home in order to get rid of private mortgage insurance (PMI)!
To start saving, you'll obviously need more income than expenses, but you can start by saving at least 10 percent of your take-home pay. Bump that up to 20 percent when you can.
Keep going until you hit 40 percent of your income. At that point, you're going to start ingraining new financial habits – notably, you will become a net saver instead of a net spender. Even though you're still spending 60 percent of your income, you can keep pushing that up until you tip 50 percent.
Is it difficult? You bet it is. But, it's also necessary. This is what will help you reduce your reliance on loans and other types of credit while at the same time helping you learn the financial responsibility to take on debt when you need to.

Good collection of ideas in one place. However, what if the debt burden is too great to allow for any savings, even after trimming expenses? This can happen with the change in circumstances, such as divorce or periods of bad health. Are debt consolidation/work out and bankruptcy the only routes left? – Steven @Millennials_Mny

Established in 1981, the Santa Barbara Triathlon is one of the longest-running independently owned triathlons in the world. And it's no wonder; stunning scenery, flawless operations and an oceanfront transition area and finish line ensure a sellout event every year. Stick around after the event for children's beach activities, a fabulous sports expo and convenient on-site dining.
Participants can select from either our famous long course (including Aquabike and Team divisions) or one of our sprint courses. Sprint course options include a women's-only event, parent/child team event (compete side-by-side with your child), the traditional co-ed format, and our all new duathlon. We even offer a "Just for Fun" division for people who want to start at the same time as their friend or family member, rather than their assigned age group. We have something for everyone!

Pathways reopened in Fingle Woods
Latest update 05.03.2014 11:14
Visitors to Fingle Woods in the Dartmoor National Park in Devon are now able to explore 27 miles (45km) of newly reopened footpaths through the 825 acre site - the size of around 460 football pitches - thanks to ourselves and the Woodland Trust. It's the first time the routes have been open in 10 years.
We joined forces with the Woodland Trust in August 2013 to purchase and restore the woods which straddle the River Teign, with a promise that visitors would also be able to discover previously inaccessible areas of the site. So far £3m has been donated to a fundraising appeal set up by the Woodland Trust, but another £2m is desperately needed to fund the long-term restoration of the woods.
From March 2014 people will be able to follow new trails throughout the woods which will lead them to long forgotten sights including an Iron Age hill fort at Wooston Castle and the Hidden Valley at Halls Cleave. It will also provide the chance to encounter huge wood ant nests, watch for birds of prey including buzzards and sparrowhawks and spy on kingfishers and otters at the Weir Pool on the River Teign.
Your donations make a real difference
David Rickwood, the Woodland Trust site manager for Devon, said: 'We are over half way to our £5 million fundraising target which is fantastic after just eight months. This money will enable not only the purchase of the site but will also fund the long-term restoration of the areas of damaged ancient woodland on site.
'We will only be able to secure the long-term restoration of the woods if we reach our £5m fundraising target so every pound donated will make a real difference.'
Around two-thirds of Fingle Woods is covered in damaged ancient woodland, planted with conifers, which the charities aim to restore by gradually thinning the conifers over many decades, allowing native woodland to regenerate, increasing the habitat for species such as pied flycatcher, redstart, wood warbler and fritillary butterflies. Damaged ancient woodland makes up nearly half of the existing ancient woodland left in the UK, which is irreplaceable and covers just 2% of the landscape, restoration is the only way to protect its long-term future.
Adrian Colston, our general manager on Dartmoor, added: 'We're excited that visitors exploring the new pathways will be able to experience new sights, sounds and landscapes at Fingle Woods.
'Our plans for 2014 are in an advanced state and we have been very lucky and survived the recent storms better than many, so there are plenty of trees and vistas for visitors to enjoy.'

Beautiful villa less than 10 mins away from Las Americas. Sleeps up to 20 people (supplement after 16). Huge south facing pool with sunken bar. Panoramic views. Private and not overlooked. Separate garden. Shaded outdoor dining area. Large jacuzzi (optional extra). Themed beach area. Basketball and ping pong. Trampoline.
We are in Los Menores. Taxis to the main areas are available from roughly 2.50 euros per person.
20 min journey from South airport.
Extras are also available.
This villa is outstanding!! A truly luxury place with fantastic views. Before we arrived we wondered whether the nearby road would be a problem but it was so quiet we forgot it was there!! Trina couldn't have been more helpful both before and during our stay. With such a large group, organization can be tricky but Trina made everything so easy for us! We particularly enjoyed the beer and cider on tap around the pool!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone looking for a large group holiday. I would return in a heartbeat!!
Prior to arriving Trina had been wonderfully helpful in preparation for our holiday and a family members birthday. Nothing was too much trouble. We were greeted upon arrival and shown around the villa. It is a magnificent property and felt extremely luxurious. Trina and Joseph answered all our questions and requests, even gave us a lift to shops and drove some of the party back to the airport! Such wonderful hosts and that helped make this a truly special and wonderful holiday for our extended family stay
Travelled with a group of 17 girls. I don't even know were to start, just an amazing villa and you will not find better hosts than Trina and Joseph honestly. All those little extras made such a difference to our holiday. We truly did have 5 days in paradise from the pool bar, hot tub, private beach, organising massages for us and to Joseph for cooking us our bbq and paella. All the rooms are gorgeous and plenty of space and privacy for everyone. I hope to visit here again soon. I cannot thank you enough Trina & Joseph
Stayed with a large group of 16 in this villa. From the minute we arrived we knew we had made the right choice. The layout with family connected bedrooms and ensuites suited us perfectly.
The pool and spa were used every day and the bonus of the bar was enjoyed by many. The villa is more than well equipped and the owner could not have been more helpful. If we required anything she was there to help, from arranging taxis to takeaways. We could not have asked for a better host. The villa is situated away from the noise of town but is only a short taxi ride to all the attractions. A car is not essential but would be useful. I can honestly say I would love to go back.
Visited the villa for 10 days in June / July 2015 with a party of 12 adults and 4 children. Throughout the booking process and prior to our arrival the owner (Trina) was most helpful and answered all queries promptly.
It was immediately clear on our arrival at the villa that the photos do not do justice to the superb facilities – the views are stunning, the pool even bigger than expected and the sun terraces superb. The villa itself is extremely spacious, well equipped, clean and beautifully kept. The accommodation is well laid out, and the various living areas allow you to escape for some peace and quiet if you want to – essential when with a large group.
Trina was always on hand if you needed assistance – ordering taxis, kegs of beer, cocktails etc – but otherwise did not disturb you. A perfect hostess!
If you are intending to venture out and explore the island a car is definitely beneficial, although not essential.
Overall I would thoroughly recommend this villa. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay and it was a fabulous venue for a group family holiday and birthday celebration.
I was one of the group of 18 ladies between the age of 22-79 - although two of the girls on the holiday had stayed previously and told us how amazing it was, we couldn't believe it when we arrived, it was stunning and the view was amazing.
As we did not intend to drive, before arriving we emailed a very large shopping list and the owners were only too happy to arrange this for us to be delivered before we arrived, along with fitting kegs of beer and cider at the pool bar. We also asked if Sergio (a member of the family) could cook us all a paella for one of the evenings as he had done the previous year for our friends. He did this on our last evening and I have to say it was the best paella I had ever tasted, it was amazing. Tina also provided cocktails and a buffet for us one afternoon as an apology for the hot tub being out of order which was really nice. Sergio and his brother called in daily to take away rubbish and checked everything was ok and even got us more shopping on a few occasions but never bothered us any other time unless we called them.
During our stay of 4 nights we only went out one of the evenings, getting a taxi (cost approximately 20 euros to Las Americas). It would be beneficial to have a car if you want to venture out more but we didn't feel the need we made our own entertainment and made use of the lovely accommodation.
Overall I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone, the owners could not have been more helpful thank you.
Idyllic location close to beach, bars and local attractions, local bars 2 minute drive away, The busy centre of Las Americas is only a 10 minute drive away from all the lively bars and night-life. Close to water park, golf, shopping mall, beach,water-sports. A choice of beaches, and small villages, also the famous Mount Teide is a wonderful excursion, which is the highest point in Spain.The jewel in the crown is the newly built Siam Park with fantastic facilities, water rides, animals ,surfers wave pool, new fantastic rides, a great day out for kids and parents. Boat trips to see the Wales and dolphins. The north of the island is beautiful and you will find attractions there such as loro park where you can see orcas, dolphins and so much more. There is a local market 3 days a week where you can get your souvenirs and last minute bargains. Another unmissable trip is the medieval night where you meet the king of the castle and dine on chicken.

For over 17 years, Paul Stenberg's name and real estate reputation has been synonymous with dedication, loyalty and commitment to his clients' goals. Paul's simple belief is that his clients' needs and objectives come first. "Have you ever spoken with a realtor and felt like they were reading off a script? I would never do that," says Paul. "Each and every buyer and seller is different, their circumstances and objectives differ; there is no "one plan or speech fits all" in real estate.
Paul grew up in the solemn beauty of the wine country near Sonoma as well as the Redwoods on the coast of Mendocino. A graduate of St. Mary's College in Moraga in 1988, Paul's first work experience during college was in the bustling atmosphere of a Coldwell Banker in Walnut Creek, CA. Then, upon graduation, he moved into the exciting realm of media, working at KKIS Radio in Concord. This broadcasting experience eventually led to Paul's relocation to Santa Fe in 1989. Utilizing his media, writing and marketing experience, he quickly found himself back in the real estate arena in 1992, working for a small, boutique brokerage handling sales and property management.
With a brief three-year segue into economic development for both the City of Santa Fe and the State of New Mexico, Paul finally settled permanently into real estate in 1996 at French & French Fine Properties.
Paul has worked in all segments and geographical areas of Santa Fe's diverse market, including historic resales, new construction, investment and vacation properties. Paul spent nearly six years 'specializing' in the Highway 285 Corridor and has most recently been the 'Broker on Site' for nearly three years at the exclusive Condominium Resort Development of Quail Run. He currently serves on the Santa Fe Association of Realtors Board of Directors (2013-2016).
When Paul is not assisting his real estate clients, he can be found supporting and coaching his 14-year-old twins, Eva Sophia and Wesley in their respective sports of gymnastics and swimming; both of whom currently hold state titles! Paul and his children are aspiring golfers, fishermen as well as mountain bikers.

Which is why you have a library (be it kudzu, hal, or whatever your hardware abstraction layer library of the week happens to be) and ensure that *it* can do the probing for you. Then you just have to have the package know what it cares about and see if there's any available. Jeremy

For more information see the media release below.
For more information see the media release below.
16th ANNUAL POW*MIA AWARENESS RALLY & MOTORCYCLE RODEO
POC: HIEDI YOUNG (208)252-1898 / email@example.com
The POW*MIA Awareness Association is very thankful for the support that we have recently received and we are pleased to say that after meeting with City Officials, the Pocatello Police Department and The Pocatello Raceway we are all 100% ready to move forward with the 16th Annual POW*MIA Awareness Rally and Motorcycle Rodeo July 29-30th at the Pocatello Raceway! We are feeling good about the new partnerships that have been established with the City of Pocatello and we are happy that the event will stay in Pocatello; and while it may look a little different, we are still going to be able to do what we have always done best, educate the public about the POW/MIA issue and have fun doing it in a safe family and Veteran friendly environment.
We will officially open on Friday, July 29th with the raising of the Largest POW*MIA Flag at 12:30pm and will be featuring a new event on Friday night, the Outlaw Go-Cart Races which will follow a special ceremony to honor our Veterans who served in Vietnam at 6:30pm as part of the 50th Commemoration of the Vietnam War. Following the races we will hold a concert featuring local bands. Saturday morning will start with a Motorcycle Fun Run with a brand new route and our flagship event, the Motorcycle Rodeo will be happening on Saturday Afternoon following our traditional Tribute Ceremony at noon. We are moving our Children's Bicycle Rodeo to Saturday Afternoon during the Motorcycle Rodeo Halftime, we invite the kids to bring their bicycles and try out some of the same events as the Motorcycle Rodeo participants. After a day of good old fashioned American fun please join us for a concert featuring American Hitmen and Madison Rising!
There will be lots of other activities such as the Arm Wrestling & Tattoo Contests and of course you won't want to miss the Motorcycle Show-n-shine & Loudest Pipes contest. We will have a special area set up for kids, and we will have Monster Truck Rides as well as food/merchandise vendors. Special guests from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, the National League of POW/MIA Families and the 50th Commemoration of the Vietnam War will be joining us with displays and information about who they are and how they are working towards the fullest possible accounting of our nation's heroes.
Bring the whole family and come and see what the hype is all about! The cost for the entire weekend will remain the same as last year: $15 for adults (18 and up) / $10 for youth ages 13-17 / children 12 and under and Veterans (with valid ID) are free. Proceeds from the event will be donated to The National League of POW/MIA Families, the Idaho State Veterans Home in Pocatello and other local charities in the area. For a complete listing of events please visit our website: powmiarodeo.org or send us a friend request on facebook: Powmia Rodeo.

I have some exciting news to share! A special General Membership meeting was held on Saturday at the Pocatello Raceway by the airport. We had a record number of members that attended, and many of folks we have not seen for a while. After discussion and looking at the facilities a vote was held and those in attendance decided unanimously to accept the generous offer from the Jerry and JoAnne Bailey to host our event at their facility. So it is official, the 16th Annual POW*MIA Awareness Rally will be held July 29,30,31st at the Pocatello Raceway!
This move will not come without its challenges, but I believe as an association we are up for it. We will be getting use of the facility at no charge; in return, we have been asked to help them make the venue a nicer place to visit, which we whole hardheartedly agreed to on Saturday. Right now we have a basic idea of how to make this work and we have some, but not all answers as to how things will look. Most of that will be addressed at our next General Membership Meeting which will be held on Friday, April 22nd @ Liberty Hall (325 W Benton Street, Pocatello) at 7pm. We will be breaking up into groups to discuss various functions and areas of the rally to work many of the details out. Time is of the essence and never before has a general membership meeting needed attendance as much as this one does. We want to hear everyone's ideas and make sure that important details don't slip through the cracks.
We have faced a lot of challenges leading up to this decision. At times it has felt outside entities hoped we would just go away. At the end of the day we are a strong group of Veterans and Patriots who are not going anywhere…our mission is to important! We are the voices for 82,751 souls who served our nation and have not come home or been accounted for. We are going to continue to make sure we do all we can to get answers for the 82,751 families who have been waiting for decades. We are at a crucial point in our nations history and we have to make sure that the POW/MIA issue is not forgotten. I ask you all to dig deep, remember why you wanted to be involved in the first place, grab on to that feeling you felt when you first realized just how important this is and be a part of this exciting time…you may even want to bring some friends along with you! We can do this, and who knows…maybe we will end up having our most successful event yet!
I am truly excited about this new adventure and look forward to working with you all to make it happen!
Hiedi Young
a.k.a "Betsy Ross"
Director, POW*MIA Awareness Corp.

Free Fitness Fridays are back at Eaton Rapids Medical Center
Eaton Rapids Medical Center (ERMC) is pleased to offer Free Fitness Fridays to everyone over 13 years of age during the summer months at HealthWorks Fitness Center. HealthWorks is open to the public free of charge every Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and includes the use of all workout machines, classroom equipment, towel service, and locker facilities. Free Fitness Fridays coincide with the ERMC Farmers Market schedule, which is open 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. every Friday, May 20 to October 21.
The program comes at time when local residents are trying to digest the results published in the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) regarding the prevalence of obesity in our area. The study reports that this physical condition results from poor diet coupled with limited physical activity, which elevates risk for serious health issues. The percentages of adults (33.8%) and adolescents (15.8%) in Eaton County who reported being obese in 2015, were both above the state averages. It is also concerning that there has been an 11.8% increase in adult obesity, as well as a 1.1% increase for teens, since the 2012 CHNA results were made public.
"Our goal is to promote health, wellness, and fitness in our community." Kevin Trudell, HealthWorks manager, encourages everyone to take a holistic view of personal healthcare. "We offer healthy food choices in our farmers market, and we include education about healthy eating options. What is lacking for total health care is the activity part. So we are offering free access to our facility one day a week all summer long to encourage whole body wellness."
Guests may inquire about signing up for Free Fitness Fridays at the front desk on the second floor of the hospital. Students age 13 to 17 must have a guardian accompany them during their first visit in order to sign paperwork enabling them to participate.

ERMC nurse receives inaugural DAISY Award
Khristina Coker, a registered nurse (RN) at Eaton Rapids Medical Center (ERMC), was awarded the DAISY Award for nursing excellence at a ceremony held at the hospital last week. Coker, who joined the Medical/Surgical Unit two years ago, was the first recipient of this honor at Eaton Rapids Medical Center.
ERMC joins healthcare facilities all over the world in participating in this recognition program that rewards and celebrates the extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care given by nurses every day. Coker was presented with a certificate, daisies, a DAISY Award pin and a hand-carved stone sculpture entitled "A Healer's Touch."
In her nomination, Laura Launstein, rehabilitation manager at ERMC, states "While treating patients, I am confident that if I need any assistance, Khristina will be there, willing to help and always with a smile. We had a particular patient that had been in the hospital for many weeks. Khristina was always a positive influence for this patient and encouraged her to continue working toward recovery. She was very supportive of all therapy goals and assisted this patient in working toward independence, even though it meant spending more time with this patient. Khristina has an amazing, positive attitude with everything she does. She never makes patients or coworkers feel that they are an interruption of her work, but rather that they are the important part of her work."
"We are so excited to be part of this prestigious program that recognizes what we do for our patients and families every day," remarked Kris Allen, RN, vice president of clinical services at ERMC. "Khristina's ability to influence patients through compassion embodies the spirit of this award."
The DAISY Foundation was established in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died of complications of the auto-immune disease Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP) at the age of 33. DAISY is an acronym for diseases attacking the immune system. During Pat's eight-week hospitalization, his family was awestruck by the care and compassion his nurses provided-not only to Pat-but to everyone in his family. One of the goals they set in creating a Foundation in Pat's memory was to recognize extraordinary nurses everywhere who make an enormous difference in the lives of so many people by the work they do every day.
To nominate a nurse for this annual award, fill out a nomination form in the main lobby of the Medical Center, located at 1500 South Main Street in Eaton Rapids.

Does your doctor know your five wishes?
Five Wishes is a guide to help individuals plan for medical treatment they do or do not want in the event that they are unable to make critical decisions for themselves. Similar in intent to a Durable Power of Attorney, or DPOA, Five Wishes allows patients to designate an advocate who would be responsible for making health care decisions while attempting to honor any personal, spiritual, and emotional wishes previously recorded. The document has been featured on CNN, The Today Show, and in national magazines. It meets legal requirements in 42 states, including Michigan, and is offered in 27 languages.
"Both the Five Wishes and DPOA forms are easy to use and give step-by-step instructions and tips," reports Natalie Johnson, Patient Access Manager at Eaton Rapids Medical Center (ERMC). "They are technically the same, but Five Wishes goes into a little more depth. In Michigan, there is no need for a notary to authorize the signatures, but there are some limitations as to who can be witnesses. The completed documents are valid with any health care provider in the state, and once submitted become a permanent part of a patient's medical record."
Five Wishes is effective for all situations involving care, custody, and medical treatment in which a person is determined to be unable to choose for him or herself, with few legal limitations. In contrast, Advance Medical Directives and some Living Wills restrict designated advocates to decision-making only if the patient is terminally ill.
Johnson encourages everyone to be proactive when it comes to managing their health care at any life stage, and especially when considering future medical procedures. "Inpatients and individuals who schedule surgery at the hospital are automatically offered these forms." Consider informing loved ones about your five wishes before a medical emergency or serious illness occurs. Forms are available at ERMC.

1989 Lincoln Mark VII V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 130992 miles
My 89's tranny works and shifts fine in Drive but doesn't work in Overdrive.
Is there a sensor for overdrive? If not, does the whole tranny have to be rebuilt just for Overdrive or can just that gear be overhauled?
Thanks, Christine
