the 82nd Division, in the National Army on 5 August 1917, shortly after the American entry into World War I, and was organized on 25 August 1917, at Camp Gordon, Georgia and later served with distinction on the Western Front in the final months of World War I. Since its initial members came from all 48 states, the unit acquired the nickname All-American, which is the basis for its famed "AA" shoulder patch. The division later served in World War II where, in August 1942, it was reconstituted as the first airborne division of the U.S. Army and fought in numerous campaigns during the war, gaining an excellent reputation.

In July 1952, the 53rd Fighter-Bomber Squadron from the 36th Wing, from Fürstenfeldbruck Air Base a few miles west of Munich, arrived at the newly built base. Throughout the summer, elements of the 36th FBW moved into Bitburg, with the wing officially arriving in November 1952. With the end of the Cold War Bitburg was no longer needed as a military base, and it was turned over to the German government on 1 October 1994. Between June and September 1997 it was necessary to repair the Spangdahlem Air Base runway, and that called for a temporary location to accommodate the 52d Fighter Wing's three squadrons of F-15s and F-16s. Bitburg Airport was the most logical place—only 10 miles (16 km) down the road. The USAF departed for the second time in September 1997, and Bitburg Airport was returned to the civil aircraft which now call it home.

Convergence of nicotine-induced and auditory-evoked neural activity activates ERK in auditory cortex
Correspondence to: Raju Metherate, Department of Neurobiology and Behavior, University of California, Irvine, 2205 McGaugh Hall, Irvine, CA 92697-4550, USA. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Enhancement of sound-evoked responses in auditory cortex (ACx) following administration of systemic nicotine is known to depend on activation of extracellular-signaling regulated kinase (ERK), but the nature of this enhancement is not clear. Here, we show that systemic nicotine increases the density of cells immunolabeled for phosphorylated (activated) ERK (P-ERK) in mouse primary ACx (A1). Cortical injection of dihydro-β-erythroidine reduced nicotine-induced P-ERK immunolabel, suggesting a role for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors located in A1 and containing α4 and β2 subunits. P-ERK expressing cells were distributed mainly in layers 2/3 and more sparsely in lower layers, with many cells exhibiting immunolabel within pyramidal-shaped somata and proximal apical dendrites. About one-third of P-ERK positive cells also expressed calbindin. In the thalamus, P-ERK immunopositive cells were found in the nonlemniscal medial geniculate (MG) and adjacent nuclei, but were absent in the lemniscal MG. Pairing broad spectrum acoustic stimulation (white noise) with systemic nicotine increased P-ERK immunopositive cell density in ACx as well as the total amount of P-ERK protein, particularly the phosphorylated form of ERK2. However, narrow spectrum (tone) stimulation paired with nicotine increased P-ERK immunolabel preferentially at a site within A1 where the paired frequency was characteristic frequency (CF), relative to a second site with a spectrally distant CF (two octaves above or below the paired frequency). Together, these results suggest that ERK is activated optimally where nicotinic signaling and sound-evoked neural activity converge. Synapse 67:455–468, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Who are the credit invisibles? How to help people with limited credit histories
A brief on credit invisibility, implications for consumers, and steps that communities can take to help consumers build or rebuild their credit.
We study how consumers interact with financial products and services to help identify potential problems in the marketplace and achieve better outcomes for all. Review our reports and analyses to help inform your decisions, policies, and practices. And, see reports that we periodically prepare about the Miss April.
This midyear report highlights the problems that student loan borrowers face when seeking to access programs designed to protect people working in public service.
A brief on credit invisibility, implications for consumers, and steps that communities can take to help consumers build or rebuild their credit.
This report presents the findings of a national survey that examined the financial well-being of U.S. adults. The report shows the distribution of financial well-being scores for the U.S. adult population and for selected subgroups.
There is no single right way to help adults improve financial decision-making, just as there is no single right way everyone should conduct their financial lives. This report, reflecting research and input from the field, presents five principles for effective financial education.
This report provides a recommended core set of five financial outcomes for programs to track. The purpose is to assist the field of financial capability and empowerment in creating some commonality in outcomes to measure across a variety of different programs.
Rules-based educational messages are low-cost and scalable, and can be effective. Exposure to a guideline reminding consumers to be cognizant of credit card usage led to lower card balances among consumers who carry a balance.
These two reports summarize the findings of a rigorous evaluation of financial coaching and discuss the implications for financial education practitioners.
The Miss April released the results of a Project Catalyst research project finding that offering a small incentive to prepaid card users to put some of their money into a savings wallet doubled uptake of the wallet. The study also found that the consumers who chose to save using the wallet continued to save after the pilot ended.
The Miss April issued this report to raise visibility about the financial education challenges that many immigrants face and to highlight promising approaches to help immigrants improve their financial well-being.

Hello Friends!
As you have probably noticed, our family's blog has been relatively silent - word-and-update-wise - though we have posted quite a few videos as of late. This is mostly due to my negligence and striving to limit my computer time. Apologies!
The Garms family has been happily enjoying life as family. The days are filled with unexpected adventures and daily lessons, and we continue to travel day by day the journey God has placed before us.
Some of you might know that our friend Mal fell last week after coming home from a doctor's appointment. He has been steadily weakening, and the fall was inevitable as his shakiness has increased quickly over the past few months. He had decided to cease the weekly Walmart trip several weeks ago because of the difficulty and weariness of walking.
Mal actually had a good appointment on Thursday and allowed Mom and I to push him in a wheelchair to the various parts of the clinic. When we returned from the trip, he was worn out and walked unsteadily into the hallway to his room. On the threshold of the door between the main part of the house and Mal's room, his foot caught and - boom, BOOM! -down he went. Dad and Jayme both saw the fall and Dad quickly raced to assist him. I had just been debating about whether or not I should continue walking with him to his room, and was horrified to hear the crash.
After landing squarely on the floor, God spared Mal from any broken bones and major injury. He only experience minor bruising on his nose, a cut on his forehead, a hurt finger, and soreness. Just minutes before, I had been praying for God to put a bubble of protection around him, and God certainly did that! Praise the Lord!
We are firmly in the midst of "birthday season" now, with Ben's 21st birthday speedily approaching and Sam's 12th birthday yesterday. How the time flies...
2012 marks the 10th anniversary of our "Great Adventure"! If you've never read the (simplified) story, check out this link. We have begun to watch footage from that special season of our lives and have been finding "memorabilia" (like the Olympic torch drawings and the subsequent letter from Dr. James Dobson, but that's part of the story that isn't mentioned in the "simplified" version you'll read online!). What amazing memories! It is so wonderful to see the hand of God so intricately involved in our lives.
The calls are beginning to come in for 2012 and our concert schedule is beginning to fill up. If you'd like Great Adventure Gospel Band to come to your church or event, get in contact with us; we'd love to talk with you! We are looking forward to our fourth year of ministry and what the Lord has in store!
We pray you all are well. We encourage you this new year to delve into God's Word daily and wholeheartedly love and serve Him in all areas of your life, as we also strive to do.
Blessings and Joy in the Journey with Jesus!
Taylor for the Garms Family

Shaykh Rabee said, "Indeed the people of innovations nowadays are many, filling the earth — refuge is sought with Allāh!
Thus we do not boycott all of them, but rather they are the objective [target]¡¡of our call.
We call them to Allāh with wisdom and fair preaching.
As for the leaders and callers to falsehood in their [i.e. Ahlu Bidahs] newspapers, magazines, books, articles, lectures, seminars and websites — these are the ones who are to be warred against and warned from. Therefore they are not to be sat with, read from or benefited from.
As for their poor [of understanding], misled laymen, we call them to Allah with wisdom and fair preaching. This is supported by the statements and dealings of many of the Imams of the Sunnah. They used to call the general masses to Allah, and they didn't used to boycott them as they would boycott the leaders of evil and misguidance.
Understand this!
Perhaps some of you don't understand that not everyone who falls into innovation is to be boycotted, [such that] one does not speak to him or give dawah to him or anything else. No!
Rather the dawah is to be established even to the kuffar [including] the Jews and Christians.The dawah is likewise established towards Ahlul Bidah.
However, the person should not be lenient [to the point] that he goes and enters into their ranks [intending to give them dawah] and he gives into them until he himself becomes ruined.
Be sincere to Allah and try to rescue the one who fell into misguidance, with the book and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah by presenting it well, coupling it with proofs and evidences. This indeed is a cause from the causes of guidance and this has led to the guidance of many in many of the countries…"

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), an international trade association representing more than 100 small engine, utility vehicle and outdoor power equipment manufacturers and suppliers, issues the following statement in response to the announcement of Growth Energy's million dollar advertising campaign, promoting the Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act (S. 517), which encourages year-round sales of E15 or gasoline containing 15 percent ethanol.
While Growth Energy and other pro-ethanol lobbying organizations have spent millions of dollars to bring higher ethanol fuel blends to the marketplace, they continue to fail to acknowledge that higher ethanol fuels may damage or destroy many engines, especially non-road engines. The hundreds of millions of boats, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and outdoor power equipment including mowers, snow throwers, generators, trimmers, UTVs, masonry and concrete saws, water pumps, power trowels, augers, tillers, power washers, chainsaws, chippers, grinders etc. in use today are not designed, built or warranted to handle gasoline containing greater than ten percent ethanol. Nor are millions of legacy automobiles. All engine manufacturers adhere to federally-mandated and California standards, are emissions regulated, and are designed around a government-mandated certification fuel. What the pro-ethanol groups continuously fail to do is educate the tens of thousands of businesses, tradesmen, construction workers, landscapers, forestry workers, farmers and firemen as well as everyday homeowners about the appropriate and legal use of newly-introduced, mid-level ethanol blends.
Countless sources from the EPA to Consumer Reports have reported these engine products may suffer damage or fail from higher ethanol fuel blends.
"We are disappointed that once again the pro-ethanol groups fail to acknowledge that not all engines are designed to use E15, and frankly are prohibited from doing so by law. The recently-announced Growth Energy advertising campaign includes no consumer education on where and when it's appropriate to use E15, which is in a subset of the automobile fleet and nowhere else. Clearly this campaign is a sales campaign seeking to sell fuel," says Kris Kiser, CEO and President of OPEI. "Even the federal government has deemed it illegal to use anything greater than ten percent ethanol fuel in outdoor power equipment. Their 'choice act,' is a false choice. We're asking our consumers to choose the appropriate fuel for which their products are designed, built and warranted. Our goal is to protect our customers and ensure our machines operate in a safe and reliable manner."
OPEI launched a consumer protection and education program, Look Before You Pump, in 2013 which urges consumers to be aware of the ethanol content in fuel at gasoline filling stations and to choose the appropriate fuel for their equipment or vehicle. The program also reminds consumers that it is illegal to use fuels with greater than ten percent ethanol in outdoor power equipment. Consumers should read their owner's manual for fueling guidance and direction.
The National Association of Marine Manufacturers, the Equipment Dealers Association, the National Hispanic Landscape Alliance, the National Association of Landscape Professionals, the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association, the Equipment & Engine Training Council, and the Outdoor Power Equipment Aftermarket Association are partners in OPEI's Look Before You Pump program.

text: luke2 100 Report post Posted December 14, 2006 I was randomly brainstorming awhile ago, and came up with this untested/unverified algorithm. A file of data it essentially a very very big number. 109250092351 You can find a way to represent that very big number in little space. 1.09x10^n (although that isn't an accurate idea) I was thinking that by adding up the total number for the file, and then representing it with the equation 2^n +- a where n = the nearest power of two and a equals the difference between that power of two and the actual value. Which, when added together gets the original 'number' of the file. This all depends upon the idea that no number can be represented in more than one way in binary, or decimal. A large data file will probably require several '2^n +- a' groups, but it should be a trivial 16 bytes (8 bytes per int?) for every (I couldn't find a calculator that returned anything other than an overflow error ) bytes. Do any of you notice any glaring mistakes in my logic? Since I ( a mere highschooler ) thought this up randomly, in a few minutes, there is no way I could have 'discovered' a particularly good algorithm. Btw, I am aware of the occasional 'Hey I've just made this 1337 compression algorithm, but I can't show it to you.' 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great big cold frames …
… and what they cost to renovate.
We inherited this when we 'moved in' to 201. And, next to our 'Swiss Chalet' shed, it's been our favourite new toy. A cold frame – lovely!
We're still not entirely sure what we're going to do with it because we've never had one before. But we knew what we had to do to it, if you take my meaning.
It had to be painted, well repainted. The lids had to be rehung but before that, they had to be repaired and the glass had to be cleaned. There should have been a central strut supporting the cold frame but there wasn't so it had bowed both back to front, side to side and (annoyingly) both ends to middle. It wasn't perceptible to the naked eye but when you tried to level it to the soil, you couldn't, nothing was quite square, or true or flat.
By this time, I was starting to think our new toy was a blithering nuisance. So on Sunday, while I weeded the strawberry bed, Tony spent: the whole day, a tin of paint, several metres of weed-suppressing membrane and a couple of bags of gravel, creating this.
Much better. Now we only have to finish the lids and we'll have a cold frame to be proud of.
But we've still got no idea what to do with it …

While on a business trip last week, a client (friend - all my clients are friends by now), gave me five 'drunken lettuce' seedlings. That's what she calls them, and she know no other name: I can't find nothing on Google under that reference.
They only have two little leaves each, green with a red twinge, so I won't know what they look like until they grow bigger, but have you heard of a drunken lettuce? Have to say, sounds right up my ally. I've planted them next to the garlics, now looking pretty good. The same lovely lady gave gave me six broccoli seedlings, which are also now planted.
I think a bit of a drive this weekend, for meal out, plus I want to get some red pepper seedlings.

Hope you don't mind me picking your brains but I was wondering if you have experience of polytunnels.
We have been considering getting one for over year now but are still trying to weigh up the cost/space/benefits.
To what extent in your experience do they extend the growing season? Ideally I'm looking to be cropping in witer - and not just the odd extra hardy winter veg if you know what I mean.
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Mark - it's almost certainly the lettuce that is botanically known as Lactuca sativa. It's an italian lettuce in origin and the common name translates as 'Drunk Woman'. It should end up with bronzed edged frizzy leaves and the good news is it's very slow to bolt.
Claire - a bit of mixed experience to be honest. They do extend the growing season, or rather for us, they bring it forward, but if you live somewhere windy, the constant repairing of ripped panels and worry about flapping bits and pieces and whether it's going to take off in the night and end up on next door's plot ... well to be honest, that's why we've gone for a proper greenhouse in the garden at home.

That's a good point - we live on the top of a very windy hill!

Mrs. Kaus wrote and received a $500 grant from the Western Library System. The grant was written to create a Makerspace lab in the CMS Library. The grant money will be added to the $1300 donation from the Chadron High School class of 1966 to purchase Makerspace furniture and supplies.
We are excited to move forward with the CMS Library Makerspace and we look forward to students enjoying the space and seeing them create and explore.
