Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/890/comment/5649/ Picture from Harry Goodman : View W to An Liathan Mor and Glenveigh Hills from top of Loughaskerry Picture: View W to An Liathan Mor and Glenveigh Hills from top of Loughaskerry A small hill but do not underestimate it ! by Harry Goodman 20 Jul 2010 As this hill had not been commented on previously in mv, accompanied by two of my grand-sons, I decided to climb it on 15 July 2010. We parked off-road by the R251 at C0642222697 B. Our initial climb SW was over trackless rough ground of long grass and bog with occasional patches of smooth rock to assist our progress. Once beyond Pt. 308 C0541321518 C, a number of ups and downs and some small peat hags had to be negotiated and led to a clear grassy coll. From here an initial steep climb brought us to a cairn marking the top of the hill at C0508020801 D. From the top we had fine views W and S to An Liathan Mor and the hills around Glenveigh, N to Muckish, and E to Inishowen. On heading down NW steep and, at times, rocky ground called for some care in the descent. From the coll we had a splendid view SW over Lough Inshagh backed by the sharp top of An Liathan Mor. From here the ground up to Pt 313 C0430020997 E was initially steep past a prominent rock band before levelling out to a gentle climb to the top, an unmarked grassy area above a small erroded patch of peat bog. The walk down NW to meet the Gartan Track, through high grass, concealed rocks and bog made for heavy going. At the track C0358520777 A we turned right and followed it down to the Glenveigh access road where we turned left along the Lough to Glenveigh Casle for welcome refresments before taking the Shuttle Bus to the Visitor Centre and our arranged pick up. In the absense of a lift or second car it is a 3.5k walk back along the R251 to the start point. This is a small but not to be underestimated hill, requiring careful navigation in poor visibility. End to end the walk was some 7k, approx 350m of climb and could be completed in under 2 hours. While this top could be bagged by going up and back down from the R251 or the Gartan Track I would recommend the linear route walked even if the road walk had to be included. If doing it as a looped walk park at the Glenveigh Visitor Centre and get the road walking over at the start.

SAN DIEGO - The San Diego Sockers will set a U.S. professional team record if they win their 41st straight game Friday night.
The Sockers will face the Toros de Mexico at the former San Diego Sports Arena.
The Sockers beat the Arizona Storm last weekend to tie the record of 40 straight victories set by the Sioux Falls Storm of United Indoor Football from 2005-2008.
"It's huge for this team and our franchise," said midfielder Brian Farber, who leads the PASL with 16 points, with seven goals and nine assists, in three games. "We haven't lost since I've been here and we don't intend to lose anytime soon. We're going to come home in front of our fans on Friday and try to break the record. We want to keep this winning streak alive for a long time."
The Sockers haven't lost since Dec. 27, 2010, 9-8 in overtime to the California Cougars. The Sockers blew a 4-0 lead in the first quarter that game. The winning streak began two days later with a 7-5 victory against the San Diego Fusion.
"These guys are driven and very determined to win every time they take the field," general manager John Kentera said. "There's pressure to play for the Sockers. Everyone in the game of indoor soccer knows the Sockers are all about championships and wins. Our head coach (Phil Salvagio) still reminds the players of our last loss. We're proud to keep that tradition alive."
Former Sockers great Juli Veee will deliver the ceremonial first kick prior to Friday's opening kickoff. The 62-year-old Veee was part of seven Sockers championships with the indoor team from 1980 to 1988. Veee was the first soccer player inducted into the San Diego Hall of Champions and was part of the inaugural class of the Indoor Soccer Hall of Fame.

Strange title, eh? After all, why would I thank someone attributed to insensitive racial comments about African Americans in 2014? With an African American president, thousands of African Americans now listed among the elite, but elusive, top 1% (over a dozen of whom, by the way, actually work for Mr Sterling) don't we now live in, as many idealistic pundits and scholars call it, a 'post racial' society? Well, this blog is not intended to thank him for reminding us that racism is alive and well. I am thanking Donald Sterling for getting HIV back in the news.
Now, one would think that the greatest epidemic in modern history alone, would remain in the headlines by virtue of well, it being the greatest epidemic in modern history. Its amazing to think that 75 million total infections, over 36 million deaths and over 2.3 million new infections annually rarely makes the news. Nor is it the fundraising leadership of 'twinBill" of Bill Clinton and Bill Gates; or the dramatic breakthroughs in HIV treatment that have enabled millions to live longer, more productive lives; or even the tenacity of the advocates who have fought for access for these treatments. No, it takes the uniformed comments of an 80 year old man about one of the most iconic figures in the history of this epidemic, Magic Johnson, to justify front page news. So thank you, Mr. Sterling for reminding us that HIV infection is not the same thing as AIDS and that people can LIVE with HIV. Thank you for reminding us that many people still blame the victim ( 32%- according a 2012 survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation). And last, but not least, thank you for reminding us that we still have a long way to go to reduce the crushing stigma still associated with HIV. The attention that you brought to this issue, misguided as it may have been, has produced the rare public 'teachable moment" that we HIV advocates and educators so often yearn for. Now, I guess we will just have to wait for the next major, public faux pas to get in the headlines again.

I don't need a dick in my anus to know I absolutely don't want a dick in my anus.
My blog, for the record, can be found HERE.
There will be in time.The problem is space. And the fact that I have none [and no money to buy it with anyway]. I have a few recent films that will be available for download in the coming weeks. I'll let you know.Thanks for the kind words. You're running quite a place here.

Michael Moore files for divorce from Kathleen Glynn after 21 years
Filmmaker Michael Moore has filed for divorce after 21 years of marriage to Kathleen Glynn, his collaborator on the Oscar-winning "Bowling for Columbine" and other projects.
Moore, 59, filed a divorce complaint June 17 in Michigan's Antrim County, where the couple has a lakefront home. It says their relationship has broken down and "there remains no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved."
Clerk of Court Sheryl Guy said Monday that Glynn, 55, has not filed a response.
A final hearing is scheduled for Sept. 10.
Moore and Glynn married in Flint, Mich., in 1991. Glynn is listed as producer or executive producer for many of Moore's hard-hitting documentary films, including "Fahrenheit 9/11," "Sicko" and "Capitalism: A Love Story."
They did not immediately return phone calls from the Associated Press seeking comment.

House panel considers risks, rewards of synthetic genomics
On May 27, in response to the recent announcement that scientists had created the first microbe with a man-made genome, the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee heard expert testimony on the scientific and ethical implications of synthetic biology. During the hearing, representatives sought to understand the emerging technology's benefits and risks.
A cell reprogrammed
"It is the first cell whose parent is in a computer," said J. Craig Venter, founder of the J. Craig Venter Institute and one of the first to sequence the human genome.
Starting with only "four bottles of chemicals" and a genetic blueprint encoded into the files of their computers, Venter and his team synthetically created an organism's genetic code, spelling out a genome with more than 1 million letters of DNA. They even encoded into the organism's DNA their names, quotations from literature and other identifying markers.
After synthesizing the genome, the scientists replaced the DNA of the bacteria Mycobacterium capricolum with their man-made set of genetic instructions, just as one might install a new operating system on a computer.
The revamped cell took on the characteristics encoded in its new set of genes.
"It's not life from scratch," Venter said, "but we can now write new software of life."
New possibilities
Members of the committee expressed excitement about the potential benefits of synthetic genomics.
"Synthetic biology will be a major frontier in the 21st century," said U.S. Rep. Bart Gordon, D-Tenn.
U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the committee, agreed. He said that genetic engineering research has had amazing effects over the decades, noting that it has been used to make insulin, vaccines and other important medical advances.
"While most research involves one-celled organisms like bacteria or yeast, the results are far reaching," Waxman said.
Committee members also were encouraged by the research's potential applications for clean energy technologies.
U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, D-Fla., asked Jay Keasling, acting deputy director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, about research that uses yeast to produce diesel fuel from sugar cane.
The process is "akin to brewing beer," said Keasling, who anticipates his team will soon be able to produce fuel in this manner at competitive prices.
"We can innovate our way out of this problem," said U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., referring to issues surrounding the continued use of fossil fuels.
But Venter was more cautious. "I am an optimist and a scientist," he said, emphasizing that that new applications will need to be proved and may be a decade away from the marketplace.
Weighing the risks
Meanwhile, several members of the committee expressed concern about the potential misuse of the technology.
"Advancements in science must be balanced by strict ethical guidelines," said Frank Pallone, D-N.J.
Pointing to a "culture of responsibility," Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, outlined some of the oversight mechanisms that exist for similar research.
Fauci said that, while current regulations don't specifically address synthetic biology, the NIH recently drafted new guidelines and is soliciting public feedback. He also noted that the private sector has created best practices that are nearly universally implemented.
"People with nefarious motives don't need synthetic biology," Fauci said, noting that it would be much easier to cause harm using other methods. He cautioned against creating new and restrictive regulations.
Synthetic biology "doesn't add much to the ability to do bad stuff" and has "much greater applicability to do something really good," Fauci said.
Driven by basic science
Keasling and other experts agreed the breakthroughs by Venter's team and others underscored the importance of basic science.
The technologies that made those discoveries possible were based on basic science research and funding, Keasling said, noting how difficult it is to get funding to carry out foundational research.
Venter said that research investments would continue to be "one of the most important economic drivers for the future."
Challenging the government to play a more active role in creating innovative technologies, Venter said the federal government needs to rethink the way it funds research.
"Federal funding follows innovations; it seldom leads them," Venter said.
Learn more about this hearing and read written testimony from the witnesses on the House Energy and Commerce's website. Venter and his colleagues' published their recent breakthrough in Science Express.


text: Clinical Pastoral Education Program What is Clinical Pastoral Education? Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is an interfaith, professional ministry education program, which brings students into a supervised setting where they encounter people in need of care. Through extensive engagement with people in need of care and reflection with peers and teachers, students develop awareness of how their personhood influences the care they provide. Students also develop spiritual care skills, which help them to identify the hopes, needs and resources of the people in their care. Through reflection on particular human situations and relationships, students deepen their competency in ministry. CPE is an educational process of spiritual formation for the purpose of becoming an effective spiritual caregiver. Working within the interdisciplinary team process with staff chaplains, nurses, social workers and physicians, students develop skills in interpersonal and professional relationships. Essential elements of CPE Spiritual Care with people in crisis Learning through the process of action and reflection Learning goals based on the student's learning needs Written theological reflection and evaluations Peer relationships in a shared learning experience Individual and group supervision Why take CPE? CPE is often a required component of one's preparation for ministry in many denominations and faith groups. Many students take one unit of CPE to fulfill this requirement and go on to be parish pastors, missionaries or a member of a religious order. Many others take at least four units of CPE as part of their training and requirements to become a board certified chaplain. Some students, after completing several units of CPE, choose to enroll in Supervisory CPE working toward certification as a CPE supervisor. Why take CPE at St. Joseph Hospital? St. Joseph Hospital has a long history of providing quality CPE training for over 35 years. We are accredited by the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE) to offer Level 1 and Level 2 CPE, as well as Supervisory CPE. As part of St. Joseph Health, students in our program have the opportunity to learn in a variety of settings including: St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, CA; St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton, CA; Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, CA; and St. Mary Hospital in Victorville, CA. St. Joseph Health is a Catholic health system with a reputation for excellence in medical and spiritual care. We are a culturally and religiously diverse community guided by the core values established by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange: Dignity, Service, Excellence and Justice. Our spiritual care team strives to provide care with humility and respect for the social locations and faith traditions of those we serve. Our CPE students are guided in this approach, even as they develop a deeper understanding of their own faith and cultural uniqueness. Full-Time CPE The Summer Intensive Unit is a full-time unit requiring 40 hours a week of participation over the course of 11 weeks. Students work Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and have additional on-call duties. Extended CPE The spring and fall units are part-time units requiring approximately 30 hours a week of participation over the course of 16 weeks. Students have one class day a week from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., which is approximately 20 hours of clinical work per week with additional on-call duties. Each unit has a requirement of 400 hours: 300 hours - clinical hours (time in the clinical setting) 100 hours - group supervision with your peers on specific days and individual supervision with the supervisor Supervisory CPE Supervisory education is limited to applicants who have completed Level 1 and Level 2 CPE (four or more units of CPE) as positions become available. Supervisory CPE is a full-time commitment over the course of several years with the goal being to become a certified CPE supervisor. Ask our CPE Supervisor for more information. Admission to St. Joseph Hospital CPE Our center is committed to giving fair and thorough consideration to all qualified applicants. We select students who are seminarians, clergy and lay persons with consideration of aptitude for learning, capacity for self-reflection and potential for ministry without regard to age, gender, ethnicity, national origin, disability, religious affiliation or sexual orientation. Most successful applicants have already begun graduate theological education or other specialized training in their respective religious traditions. Tuition for a Summer Intensive or Extended Unit of CPE is $625. Tuition for Supervisory CPE is $200.

iPhone at this point, we've only seen a couple of them in action -- and when we do, it's almost always sort of depressing. Take this video of the Pasen ITouch DAP (which bears a striking resemblance to the Onda Honey VX858 and the I-Fighting FT4021): the poor presenter tries valiantly to show off Pasen's "latest and greatest" -- even deploying the awesome power of Jessica Simpson -- but instead just demonstrates that double-clicking and sound effects are kind of annoying on touch devices. On top of that, at 1:37 he attempts some iPhone-style scrolling but fails, so he just exits back to the main screen. Ouch. Looks like there's a reason the MiniOne is expected to cost $989, eh? Peep the vid after the break.

LATHROP - Since 1996, Bella's Bakery has attracted folks from all over for pandesal or Spanish rolls.
Pandesal, in case you didn't know, is a popular bread item of the Philippines. This yeast-raised sweet roll has the taste and texture as that of Puerto Rico's pan de agua or Mexico's bolillos.
But it's the Spanish roll or sweet bread that's perhaps the big attraction at the business located at 155 E. Lathrop Road. "People will come here early just to get them while they're still hot," said Annalyn Subia, who is one of the owners.
She and her siblings, Noli, Rocaford and Robert Vallesteros, operate the Lathrop bakery located just off Interstate 5. They have regular customers from the Bay Area and Sacramento.
"I think it helps that (Bella's) is in the middle of both areas and just off the freeway," said Subia on Friday.
Breads and pastries are cooked here daily prior to the bakery's 5 a.m. opening.
Besides pandesal and Spanish rolls, Bella's also features kababayan, ensemada, tasty bread, and raisin bread.
Kababayan is best described as a Filipino muffin while the ensemada is another pastry product from the region.
The tasty bread is known as "Pinoy Tasty" and the raisin bread is a cinnamon-type dessert.
Bella's had to raise prices nearly a year ago to help cover the cost for flour, sugar, delivery and utilities.
Still, Bella's continues its mission of providing customers with "the best and freshest baked Filipino bread around."
The key here is coming in early.

Eleven men and women were jailed after the Jones County Sheriff's Office and the Maysville, Pollocksville and Jacksonville police departments performed a three-day anti-prostitution sting � code-named �Operation Room Service� � in Pollocksville and Maysville.
Operation Room Service delivered.
Eleven men and women were jailed after the Jones County Sheriff's Office and the Maysville, Pollocksville and Jacksonville police departments performed a three-day anti-prostitution sting � code-named �Operation Room Service� � in Pollocksville and Maysville.
The arrests come at a time when many local hoteliers have been working proactively to find ways to prevent the illegal activity from ever moving onto their premises.
The owner of one Jacksonville-based escort business said his escorts, whom he calls models, have met clients at hotels throughout the city.
�Jacksonville is a small town,� he said, adding that they can cover every hotel or motel in the area in a two-week span. But he said the practice of meeting clients in hotels is not exclusive to Jacksonville or his business. Because of the nature of his business, he wished to remain anonymous.
�That�s worldwide,� he said. �Everybody. Everywhere. In every little state. Every little community. They meet in hotels.�
He said his �models� work for him just as other employees do for their employers.
�It�s just like any other job,� he said. �Once you learn it, you just do the same thing every day.�
He declined to elaborate on what the job entailed, saying the business is a discreet one. Even though his entire operation can be found online, he said only �certain types of people� know where to look on the Internet to find his site.
�Word of mouth is everything in this business,� he said. �It�s the No. 1 marketing tool.�
And word of mouth can help people find websites such as easternnc.backpage.com, where escorts tout their skills for potential clients at $7 per advertisement.
Fairfield Inn & Suites General Manager Amy Rivera said she learned about the website at the JPD meeting for local hotel keepers.
According to Rivera, a guest of one of the hoteliers had informed him that female escorts from the website were meeting clients at establishments in the area.
The Jacksonville Police Department declined to comment on any ongoing undercover prostitution investigations. Lt. Ronnie Dorn, JPD investigations supervisor, said that JPD�s Special Operations Division�s detectives proactively approach solicitation in the city.
That�s why the department recently gave a presentation on how to prevent and deter prostitution and other illegal activities in area hotels and motels. In early August, officers from the Community Policing Division of the Jacksonville Police Department provided a crime prevention briefing to hotelier and hotel employees at the Jacksonville Onslow Chamber of Commerce. Since then, from Aug. 7 through Sept. 12, JPD has charged 14 people with prostitution within the city limits.
Anette Houle, the general manager at the TownePlace Suites by Marriott in Jacksonville and head of the Jacksonville Hotel Motel Association, said the most sage advice she took away from the presentation was knowing she can always pick up the phone and call them.
�All we have to do is call if we feel something is wrong,� she said.
During her eight years working in Jacksonville�s hotel industry, Houle said she has come across few incidents of prostitution; but, she said, it is more difficult to know who is coming through the doors of a hotel or motel because transactions for prostitution can be made online rather than on streets.
Hoteliers used to see people slipping information for escorts or solicitation under hotel and motel doors, but Onslow County Tourism Director Theresa Carter said they don�t see it as much anymore.
Since the presentation, Houle said she knows of at least one hotel manager who has used the tips to catch prostitution on the premises.
Rivera said the most important tip she learned was to just pay attention because vigilant staff can dissuade wrongdoers from continuing to break the rules.
�If you have been noticed and you are doing something you shouldn�t be doing, someone is going to figure it out,� she said.
Carter said the presentation from JPD gave quick tips on how to spot suspicious activity, such as a room with frequent guests coming and going, a refusal for housekeeping, or a request for room service to be left outside the door.
JPD encouraged management to share the tips they learned with all staff members, from house cleaning to management. They also recommended the hoteliers spend money on high quality cameras to monitor activity in hallways and the lobby and require all adult guests to register and show a picture I.D.
�Safety for those visiting hotels in the City of Jacksonville is our goal,� said Mike Yaniero, director of the Jacksonville Department of Public Safety.
But there are some escorts who claim their businesses should not be grouped in with those who trade sex for money, drugs or anything else.
One escort, who wished to remain anonymous, said she maintains a �no touch� policy with all her clientele. They can look, they can ask her to dance, but they cannot touch her.
The 31-year-old has been running her business herself for two years.
She said she got into the line of work because it pays well. After an abusive marriage and a few run-ins with the law, she said this was a way to be independent and make an above minimum-wage living. She said she owns a four-bedroom house in an upscale neighborhood where her clients meet her.
The escort said her business is just like dating, but without the drama at the end of the day. The escort sees only military clientele and said most of the time, the men have either just broken up with someone or have just returned home from overseas. Often, they just want to talk because they are lonely and feel they can�t talk to their friends, she said.
�I�m like an unlicensed therapist in a sense,� she said. �It�s an escape from reality.�
If the escort business were perceived as a more legitimate business, she thinks more men would �have less problems� because they could find companionship with the escorts.
But the job has its downsides.
�This job puts a lot of emotional and mental stress on me,� she said. �You get a lot of text messages that are very vulgar. You get a lot of grimy people. It�s not seen as a legitimate business because the other girls put out this image.�
For that reason, she runs an intelligent home security system, takes pictures of all her clients� I.D.s for her records and keeps security on the premises whenever she has a client in her home.
The escort has dreams to one day own her own business: a burlesque dinner theater, where women who are in the escort business can escape to something where �men treat women with a little bit of class and elegance.�
She believes Jacksonville is home to a lot of young �influenceable� women who come to town for relationships. Then when those relationships don�t work out, they feel stuck and turn to drugs or prostitution.
�This town needs to be cleaned,� she said, referencing drug dealers and pimps she knows who run businesses that give all escorts a bad reputation.
She said not many escorts make �outcalls� to hotels or motels, but the select few who do engage in prostitution.
�The only reason you go to a motel is if you have something to hide,� she said, noting that at least one establishment in Jacksonville offers hourly rates, making it easier for prostitutes and clients.
She said she wishes the public would not judge a book by its cover.
�They gotta understand this is better than going to the welfare office and freeloading,� she said. �At least we�re doing something. We�re not wasting their tax money. We�ve had a harder life, and we�re trying to get a better life.�
Crime Stoppers
Anyone observing any type of suspicious behavior in or around hotels is encouraged to call 911. Callers can also call Crime Stoppers at 910-938-3273. Callers to Crime Stoppers may remain anonymous and can receive cash rewards of up to $2,500 for information leading to arrest.

"Feel free to leave your boots and mittens behind, and embark on a trip to Antarctica," Alex Starns, Google's Street View technical program manager, wrote in a post.
You can go inside places like polar explorer Ernest Shackleton's hut and the other small wooden buildings that served as bases for landmark expeditions in the early 1900s. Built to withstand the drastic weather conditions for the few short years, the structures are still intact, along with well-preserved examples of the food, medicine, survival gear and equipment used during the expeditions.
You'll also see the South Pole Telescope, the hut of Robert Falcon Scott, who led Britain's 1901 Discovery Expedition, Cape Royds Adélie Penguin Rookery and the Ceremonial South Pole with its international flags planted in the frozen tundra.

Which one is Luke Scott and which one is Luke Scott's trade value after a back-to-back home run?
Only the Orioles can turn back-to-back home runs into a bad thing. After Ty "I'm Trade Bait" Wiggington tied the game against the Oakland A's in the bottom of the 7th, Luke "I don't want to leave Baltimore" Scott followed with a home run of his own.
After breaking the 6-6 tie, Scott rounded first base at his usual rate of speed (regardless if the ball is in play or not), and came up limping while grabbing his left leg on occasion. Once scoring his third run of the night, Scott limped down into the club house.
This is just purely unbelievable! Scott, who is one of only few players on this team with any trade value just completely dropped the amount of compensation it will take to get him off our Old Bay covered hands.
It remains to be seen what the extent of Luke's injury is; some people on Twitter don't believe it is too serious.
Take this great post from Eutawhooligans for example:

The struggle to entice US Army soldiers and Marines to stay in the military, after four years of war in Iraq has ballooned into a US$1 billion campaign with bonuses soaring nearly sixfold since 2003.
The size and number of bonuses have grown as officials scrambled to meet the steady demand for troops on the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan and reverse sporadic shortfalls in the number of National Guard and Reserve soldiers willing to sign on for multiple tours.
Besides underscoring the extraordinary steps the Pentagon must take to maintain fighting forces, the rise in costs for re-enlistment incentives is putting strains on the defense budget, already strapped by the massive costs of waging war and equipping and caring for a modern military.
The bonuses can range from a few thousand dollars to as much as US$150,000 for very senior special forces soldiers who re-enlist for six years. All told, the Army and Marines spent US$1.03 billion for re-enlistment payments last year, compared with US$174 million in 2003, the year the war in Iraq began.
The Associated Press compiled and analyzed the budget figures from the military services for this story.
"War is expensive," said Colonel Mike Jones, who oversees retention issues for the National Guard. "Winning a war, however, is less expensive than losing one."
Soaring budgets for re-enlistment bonuses -- particularly for the Guard and Reserves, which have seen the most dramatic cost increases -- has prompted some observers to question whether the country can still afford its volunteer force.
"I believe the whole issue of the affordability of the volunteer force is something we need to look at," said Arnold Punaro, who heads an independent panel established by Congress to study the National Guard and Reserves.
The higher bonuses come as support for the war continues to wane both in Congress and with the American public.
That decline is fueling concerns that more soldiers will leave the military under pressure from families who fear the rising death toll and are weary of the lengthy and repeated overseas deployments. The Iraq war has claimed the lives of at least 3,280 US troops to date.
Incentives for Army Guard and Reserve members combined have skyrocketed from about US$27 million in 2003 to more than US$335 million last year.
The active Army, meanwhile, poured more than US$600 million into these payments last year, a sixfold increase from US$98 million in 2003. The Army gave two out of every three soldiers who re-enlisted a bonus last year, compared with less than two in 10 who received one during 2003.
left out
Those who do not get bonuses are generally in jobs that are not in high demand or are not in war zones.
For example, certain artillery crewmembers who re-enlisted outside Afghanistan or Iraq would receive no bonus, Army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Bryan Hilferty said.
Bonuses for Marines have nearly doubled, from about US$50 million in 2003 to nearly US$90 million last year.
The incentives help the military compete with private employers who often pay much higher salaries, Hilferty said.
"Soldiers with valuable skills and experience are aggressively sought after by industry," he said.
He said while the extra money is important as "people don't re-enlist in a wartime Army for US$13,000 ... If soldiers didn't think they were doing the right thing for the right reason, they would get out and get a job back home."

Prospect Retrospect: 2003
Dallas McPherson hit 23 homers in 2003, including one off of a rehabbing Randy Johnson.
In recent weeks we've looked back at the FutureAngels.com Top 10 Prospect reports for 2001 and 2002 Now it's time to look at 2003.
I began that article by referring to the top five on the list as "The Untouchables" — prospects with so much talent it was unlikely the Angels would trade them unless they received an overwhelming offer. They were Casey Kotchman, Jeff Mathis, Ervin Santana, Dallas McPherson and Bobby Jenks.
That turned out to be true, although Fate would intervene in the careers of McPherson and Jenks.
2003 was predicted to be a big year for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. They would have Kotchman, Mathis and McPherson in the starting lineup, with Santana, Joe Torres and Jake Woods in the starting rotation. The team made it to the playoffs, although Kotchman and Torres was hurt much of the year, and Mathis, McPherson and Santana were promoted to Double-A Arkansas before season's end. The Quakes took the California League's South Division in the first half with a 40-30 record, but fell to 34-36 in the second half and lost three games to one to Inland Empire in the division playoffs.
A reminder that my lists were written at the end of each year, usually in November after the season and any post-season work such as fall instructional league and the Arizona Fall League. The Baseball America reports were published a couple months later, usually around January, so we'll compare my November 2003 report to BA's early 2004 rankings.
My Top 10 list that year was:
- Casey Kotchman 1B
- Jeff Mathis C
- Ervin Santana RHP
- Dallas McPherson 3B
- Bobby Jenks RHP
- Alberto Callaspo 2B
- Chris Bootcheck RHP
- Brandon Wood SS
- Rich Fischer RHP
- Steve Andrade RHP
The BA list was:
- Casey Kotchman 1B
- Jeff Mathis C
- Dallas McPherson 3B
- Ervin Santana RHP
- Bobby Jenks RHP
- Alberto Callaspo 2B
- Brandon Wood SS
- Erick Aybar SS
- Rafael Rodriguez RHP
- Steven Shell RHP
Here's how each of mine did in retrospect.
1. Casey Kotchman 1B — It was another injury-plagued year for Casey. He pulled a hamstring on May 1, took two weeks off, played although it was still sore and tore it three games later. After a rehab assignment to minor league camp in Mesa, Kotchman returned on August 1 and played every day, finishing with an AVG/OBP/SLG at Rancho of .350/.441/.524 in 206 AB. He was hit on the right wrist by a pitch in the last game of the playoffs and removed; click here to watch video of the injury. As you probably know, Casey is now on his fourth team, having been traded last week from the Red Sox to the Mariners where he'll be reunited with former Angels minor league hitting instructor Ty Van Burkleo, now Seattle's bench coach.
2. Jeff Mathis C — Mathis caught for the California League in their All-Star Game contest against the Carolina League, hosted at Rancho Cucamonga. His AVG/OBP/SLG in 378 AB were .323/.384/.500 as a 20-year old in the Cal League, still no sign of the hitting woes that have plagued him in the majors. He moved up to Double-A Arkansas in August where he hit .284/.364/.463 in 95 AB. BA analyst Jim Callis noted that Jeff threw out only 25% of baserunners, but that's a misleading number that also relies on how well pitchers hold on runners. Callis wrote, "Only [Twins prospect Joe] Mauer rates ahead of Mathis among the game's catching prospects." Callis had Mathis taking over the Angels' catching job in 2005, I had him taking over in 2006; he was actually handed the job in spring 2007, although he went back to the minors for more seasoning.
3. Ervin Santana RHP — "Johan" became "Ervin" Santana before the 2003 season once it was discovered he'd used a younger brother's birth certificate to sign with the Angels, but the discrepancy was only ten months. Ervin joined Mathis on the California League All-Star roster, and finished the year with six starts at Double-A Arkansas. I wrote at the time, "Even when he doesn't have his best stuff, he still demonstrates the poise to work out of jams and keep his team in the game." Poise has been a bit of a problem now and then during his major league career, although his worst performances have been when he falls out of his mechanics. I expressed a concern about elbow tenderness he experienced in August, and that problem resurrected itself in 2009. Ervin turned 27 this month, which should be the prime of his career.
4. Dallas McPherson 3B — Dallas made the FutureAngels.com Top 10 list for the first time. He missed April when he suffered a lower back problem in spring training, the first of what would become a series of increasingly severe back injuries. Dallas didn't show any after-effects at the time; he hit .308/.404/.606 with the Quakes in 292 AB and .314/.426/.569 with the Travelers in 102 AB. One career highlight happened on July 15, when he homered off a rehabbing Randy Johnson who was pitching for Lancaster at Rancho Cucamonga. Click here to watch the McPherson/Johnson matchup. I noted that McPherson's defense had improved, and dismissed rumors that he might be moved to first base. Despite all the subsequent injuries, Dallas is still a third baseman. He missed all of 2009 due to his bad back, but recently signed a minor league contract with the Oakland A's.
5. Bobby Jenks RHP — Bobby's bad habits began to catch up with him when he suffered a "stress reaction" in his right arm, missing May and June. He posted a 2.17 ERA in 16 starts, striking out 103 and 83 innings, but I warned he'd have to conduct himself like a professional and defeat his personal demons for his career to advance, but in 2004 he would stumble and nearly destroy his career. We'll tell that story in the 2004 Retrospect. He's now one of the better closers in the A.L., pitching for the White Sox.
6. Alberto Callaspo 2B — Just as noteworthy as Alberto appearing on this list is the absence of his "Siamese Twin" pal, Erick Aybar. The two were the middle infield combination for Cedar Rapids. Erick's numbers that year were good enough — .308/.346/.446 with 32 SB — but I was concerned about his reckless style of play that led to several minor injuries. Callaspo, a year older, hit .327/.377/.428. The Angels separated the two in 2004, with Alberto going to Double-A Arkansas while Aybar went to High-A Rancho Cucamonga. I noted that Callaspo didn't strike out much and, although he didn't walk much either, managed to find his way on base. Alberto was traded on February 28, 2006 to the Diamondbacks for relief pitcher Jason Bulger. He's been in trouble with the law since then, arrested for a domestic violence charge in May 2007 and popped for drunk driving in June 2008. Arizona traded him to Kansas City in December 2007 for pitcher Billy Buckner. Playing full-time in 2009 at second base for the Royals, he hit .300/.356/.457 in 155 games. He'll be 27 in 2010; hopefully, he's conquered his demons as Jenks appears to have conquered his.
7. Chris Bootcheck RHP — One of two first-round draft picks in 2000, Chris struggled in the first half with Triple-A Salt Lake due to a forearm injury but in his last eleven starts posted a 2.66 ERA, quite impressive in the high-octane Pacific Coast League. I noted he had trouble pitching in the first inning, posting a 5.88 ERA in that frame. In future years, he never found his potential and took his minor league free agency in December 2008, signing with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bootcheck spent most of 2009 at Triple-A Indianapolis, posting a 3.38 ERA in 40 relief appearances with 20 saves, then took his free agency at season's end. He fell on the FutureAngels.com Top 10 lists from #1 in 2001 to #4 in 2002 to #7 in 2003 to off the list in 2004.
8. Brandon Wood SS — Brandon was the Angels' first-round draft pick in June 2003. He began his career with 19 games at Rookie-A Mesa (.308/.349/.462), then reported to Provo for 42 games (.278/.348/.475). I wrote, " Evocative of a very young Cal Ripken, Jr., Wood is tall and lean, and brings a power bat to the plate." Through his career, Ripken moved between SS and 3B, and that's been the path so far for Wood. "Depending on how his body fills out over the next few years, he could wind up in the big leagues at another position." It appears he'll be the Angels' starting third baseman in 2010. The power bat has yet to materialize at the big-league level, but he hasn't been given the chance to play regularly either. We should find out this year.
9. Rich Fischer RHP — A high school shortstop who pitched briefly in junior college, Rich was selected by the Angels in the 21st round of the June 2000 draft. Early in his career, it looked like this might be a great scouting job by Tim Corcoran. BA named Fischer #8 on their early 2003 list, after he'd posted a 3.50 ERA in 19 starts for Rancho Cucamonga and 4.23 in seven starts for Arkansas. He fell to #20 on the 2004 BA list after posting a 4.61 ERA in 26 starts during the 2003 season for the Travelers. I wrote in October 2003 that Fischer had been a project of Mike Butcher, who was his pitching coach in rookie ball. I noted that a mechanical flaw in Rich's delivery had resulted in a drop of velocity; this might have been portent of the 2004 elbow injury that eventually derail his career. Rich returned to pitching briefly in 2007 for the independent Long Beach Armada, posting a 3.89 ERA in 44 innings, but appears to have left pro ball after that.
10. Steve Andrade RHP — Steve was an unlikely Top 10 candidate, a 23-year old reliever out of Cal State Stanislaus selected in the 32nd round of the June 2001 draft. But as sometimes happens with older relievers, they have a skill that's enough to get them to the big leagues, and that's what happened with Andrade. His funky, fluky delivery (Click here to watch a 2003 video of Andrade) of curves and a low 90s fastball was enough to get him to the big leagues for four relief apperances with Kansas City in 2006. The Blue Jays claimed him on waivers from the Angels in December 2004, the Devil Rays claimed him in the Rule 5 draft in December 2005, the Rays then sold him to the Padres, and three months later the Royals claimed him on waivers. K.C. released him in June 2006, and he was signed again by the Padres. He took his minor league free agency in October 2006, and signed again with the Rays. Clear as mud? It appears his last pro year was 2008, splitting the year between Tampa's Double-A and Triple-A affiliates. In eight minor league seasons, Steve averaged 11.1 strikeouts and 3.7 walks per nine innings, posting a minor league career 3.01 ERA. No one seemed to believe enough in his game to give him an extended chance in the majors.

Just the other day in Nevada Americans stood strong and I truly believe history was being made and a rebirth of a free nation is at hand. Sad to say it will take a little longer because the un-American government backed off when we the people did not cow under.
In response to Tod Griffin's letter (Feb. 13, 2014) about not increasing the minimum wage, Tod said that it was a fact that raising the minimum wage would fail miserably as an anti-poverty policy but Tod fails to cite proof. Everything I've seen says the opposite.
He claims that "Raising the minimum wage would in fact reduce job opportunities for young minorities" but again fails to cite facts supporting this often repeated lie.
Severe wintery weather conditions can create challenges for everyone, especially those whose job requires them to work outside in the elements. Postal letter carriers are among those who brave the snow, ice, sleet, and freezing rain to provide service to the community.
Letter carriers can be the first to visit someone's home before snow removal or salting begins. That's why I'm asking Trimble county residents to include the regular upkeep of residential mailboxes as part of any snow and ice removal routine.
This is a request to the Citizens of Trimble County who are concerned about clean air, clean water, and the environment of our county to attend the Open Meeting that will be held by the Division of Waste Management on February 20th at 7:00 p.m. at the Trimble County High School gymnasium to answer questions and hear concerns regarding LG&E's revised permit application for a 189-acre coal fly ash landfill.
What a thrill it was to go to Frankfort and see our Trimble County High School girls' basketball team beat Murray on Wednesday night. Several hundred folks made the trip to see our "never-say-die" team overcome a much taller squad. Our ladies fought back over and over to win a two-overtime squeaker.

Trek Bicycle has unveiled the latest generation of the Madone 6 and 7 Series, the pinnacle of the US bike company's road racing lineup. Featuring a lighter fuselage than any of its predecessors, the new Madone frame features improved ride quality and increased braking performance on the revolutionary brake design that debuted in 2012.
At a feather-bending 725 grams, the new Madone's frame has been re-engineered to further push the legendary ride quality for which the Madone platform is known. The design retains industry-leading aerodynamics thanks to Kammtail Virtual Foil tube shaping on the frame and fork. KVF minimizes drag using a truncated airfoil shape. The virtual tail of the airfoil bends to respond to the angle of the most common crosswinds, significantly reducing drag in the real world, where it matters most. The fork's ride-tuned sweep increases compliance for greater comfort, and unique molded carbon dropouts reduce weight and optimize the wheelbase. The brakes, integrated into the frame for minimum drag and maximum efficiency, save weight by eliminating the need for mounting plates and bolts. The new edition of the Madone chain stays have been redesigned to increase braking power and provide better overall ride feel.
"We've been pushing the boundaries of weight and ride quality for ten years with the Madone," said Trek Road Product Manager Ben Coates. "The latest generation continues on that tradition with significant improvements of its predecessor while retaining all of the qualities that riders love."
Available now through Trek retailers worldwide in stock colors, as well as Trek's revolutionary Project One customization program, the new Madone's color and spec combinations are virtually limitless. RADIOSHACK LEOPARD TREK will ride a special edition of the new Madone 7 awash in the "Leopard Blue" that has graced the team's uniforms over the past two seasons. This special edition color is available for consumers today via Project One in both Madone and Domane. The team will be armed with the new Madone as well as the Spring-Classics-dominating Domane and Speed Concept as they take aim at the 100th edition of cycling's grandest tour.

Welcome Your Ghouls With DIY Halloween Door Decorations
Even though your door will most likely remain open throughout Halloween night, you can still decorate it for Halloween by creating one of these easy DIY Halloween door decorations. Here are some instructions and photos that illustrate just how easy it is to make a Halloween door hanger, a spider-web door and even a fun mummy door.
DIY Halloween Door Decorations: Mummy Halloween Door
What you need
- 4 rolls white crepe paper
- Black marker
- 2 white paper plates
- Double-sided tape
This is a fun DIY Halloween craft that you can do with the kids. Lay your paper plates onto a flat surface and draw 2 large eyes with a black marker (you can also use black construction paper if you prefer). Start wrapping your door with the crepe paper by streaming a piece from one side of the door to the other, folding it over and taping the end as you get to the edge of the door. Secure the streamers with double-sided tape. Continue this process until the entire door is covered. Apply each streamer at a different angle to give your mummy some character. When the door is covered, tape down the 2 eyes near the top of the door.
DIY Halloween Door Decorations: Door Wrapped in Spider Webs
What you need
- (1) bag of plastic spider rings
- 3 bags of artificial spider webbing (enough to cover your door)
- Clear fishing wire
Attach the spider webbing to the entire door, following the directions on the package. Intermittently stick the ring part of the spiders into the web. Cut a few strands of fishing wire about 5-ft long and hang them from the roof eaves over your front porch so as your guests approach, they will be tickled by the hanging "spider webs."
DIY Halloween Door Decorations: Wood Plaque Halloween Door Hangers
What you need
- 1'x1′ piece of 1/2″ wood
- Drill and drill bits
- Orange acrylic paint
- Very fine sandpaper (about 150 grit)
- Dust cloth
- Acrylic sealer
- Black vinyl designs (your choice)
- 24″ wire
- Raffia for the bow
A door hanger is a great Halloween decoration for a variety of reasons. It is easy to put up and take down and you can reuse them year after year. If you are the crafty type, DIY Halloween door hangers are fun Halloween decorations to make as well.
Cut out a 1'x1′ piece of 1/2″ wood (if you don't have a saw to cut the wood, your local home improvement store will usually cut it down for you). Drill a 1/4″ hole in the two top corners, about 1/2″ from the edges. Paint the wood with orange acrylic paint. After the paint has dried, distress the edges by sandpapering them to give the wood a weathered look. Dust off the wood so it's clean and spray it with acrylic sealer.
When the sealer has dried, add your choice of a black vinyl design. It could be the silhouette of a cat, a spider, a witch, or a bat – any creepy Halloween decoration that you want. You could also add a vinyl phrase such as "The Witch Is In" or "Monsters Welcome". Wrap one end of a 24″ piece of wire into each hole to create the hanger. Tie raffia to the wire to create a bow on the top and hang your Halloween door decoration.
DIY Halloween Door Decorations: Tulle Wreath Halloween Door Hanger
What you need:
- Embroidery hoop
- 1 1/2 yards soft black tulle
- 1 1/2 yards rough black netting
- 6-ft orange 6″ wide ribbon
For this Halloween door decoration you'll need to purchase an embroidery hoop that is slightly smaller than you want your final wreath to be. Cut equal amounts of tulle and netting strips that are 3″x6″ and 2″x10″. Tie the strips onto the embroidery hoop in a square not, alternating between each of the four different strips. Scoot each strip close to the last one until the wreath is full. Tie the orange ribbon to the top of the wreath, creating a 2′ loop to hang it with, and a bow at the base.
DIY Halloween Door Decorations: Extremely Easy Halloween Door Decorations
Here are a few more Halloween decorations for your door that are so simple to hang, you might even pass them along to your kids to complete by themselves.
- Wrap yellow "Caution!" tape around the door and secure it with clear tape. This can decorate the inside and the outside of the door.
- Hang a wicker broom on the door with a big Halloween bow tied to the handle.
- If you have a glass door, apply a large vinyl silhouette of a witch on a broom, a spider web, or any other Halloween decoration you can imagine.
