Event Description

Understand Upcoming US FDA Rules for the Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Foods

Transportation and Logistics food transportation food safety rules are currently being finalized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Under congressional instructions, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requires the FDA to audit, enforce and improve new rules of food transportation.

These rules provide a significant focus on:

  • Foods not completely enclosed by a container;
  • Risk reducing adulteration prevention;
  • Personnel training and certification;
  • Inspection and data collection; and
  • Maintenance and reporting that provides evidence of compliance.

These rules are to be expected in late 2015, which mean there is little time left for perishable food carriers, shippers, receivers and maintenance operations to develop and implement risk reducing preventive food handling, load and un-load, as well as make distribution and transportation improvements.

Join this session by expert speaker Dr. John M. Ryan to get the information and knowledge to comply with FSMA sanitary food transportation rules and get familiar with standards, technology and procedures. Get armed with the knowledge needed to build a basic plan and learn the difference between prevention and corrective action. The session will also explain the basics of new food transportation rules and explain how to depend on the inputs from your employees. You will know how to keep sanitation and temperature monitoring under control in your facility. Plus, get references for training, assessment and audits, as well as a free paper upon request.

Session Highlights:

After attending this session, you’ll be able to:

  • Understand upcoming US FDA Rules for the Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Foods
  • Use a simple checklist to perform a gap analysis between your current practices and new compliance requirements.
  • Develop and implement a company transportation food safety plan to close any gaps.
  • Write and implement appropriate container truck, trailer, sanitation, testing, container traceability and temperature monitoring procedures.
  • Develop a Shipper/Carrier “Contract of Carrier” that meets FDA requirements.
  • Know the different requirements for shippers, carriers and receivers.
  • Understand “container” controls from the harvest level through final delivery.
  • Establish simple, low cost complete data collection and reporting systems.
  • Understand new food transportation standards.
  • Know which tools are required for food transportation sanitation controls.
  • Know where to get certification training for drivers and other personnel.

Who Should Attend

  • U.S. Food shippers, carriers, receivers and maintenance operations
  • Food importers whose food will be consumed in the U.S.

In 2011 Mike Reed was tasked with a project of a 1970 Lincoln, All that was needed to be done was prime the car, block the body, line up the doors, and paint the car...... 4 years later and countless amount of money. the doors are not aligned, the hood is out of alignment. it hits the sides, and chips. it came in with and aligned hood, but left out of alignment and in need of a hood hinge..... which was supplied...still never changed..... but charged to install. the windows, were tasked to be aligned, levelled.... yeah not done, just told it needs a window regulator.... why was this not done when the window was out? so any how, 4 years later, the low spots and wavy door panels are still under new paint. the paint is cracking. and there is a rust spot bubbling. but I was assured by Mike that this would be fixed. Nope, The chips, Well he attempted, however white out is not correct. it just looks tacky. but this is Mikes way of fixing the far as Mike finishing the paint job.... well he never finished, or just forgot to paint the rear fenders, yep, body filler showing... i guess he ran out of white out. Mike also reassured my self his paint would not look like orange peel.... hmmmm, it does.... this car has seen the sun for about 12 hours in the course of 4 years. SO IN CLOSURE, MIKE REED WILL NOT RETURN CALLS, WONDER IF HE KNOWS WHAT A HORRIBLE JOB HE HAS DONE?

S&S Cycle Top Custom Builders

Howard Kelly

SKU: 11937 Category: Tag:

Product Description

“Author: Howard Kelly
Photographer: Michael Lichter
Foreword: Jay Leno

In 1958 George Smith started a small company called S & S Cycle. His mission: “”To make all bikes go faster.”” Fifty years later, S & S Cycle is everything Smith envisioned. To celebrate its fiftieth anniversary, the world’s premiere builder of aftermarket V-twin motorcycle engines and components commissioned custom motorcycles from fifty top builders. The competition that grew out of this challenge unfolds in the pages of S & S Presents Todays Top Custom Bike Builders, which showcases the splendid bikes built for S & S’s fiftieth anniversary show. The book, beginning with a brief history of S & S Cycle, features four-page spreads on each motorcycle, along with profiles of the builders—including Chica, Cory Ness, Paul Cox, Jerry Covington, Jesse Rooke, Redneck Engineering, Arlen Ness, Kim Suter, Brian Klock, Kendall Johnson, Roger Bourget, Rick Fairless, Fred Kodlin and Paul Teuttel Sr. With illustrations by master custom-bike photographer Michael Lichter, this is as much a celebration of the custom builder’s art as it is a tribute to S & S Cycle’s accomplishment. ”

Easy Qualify Car Loans

Consumers with less than perfect credit looking for an easier way to qualify for an auto loan should check out the issues covered in a TweetChat between Bankrate.com and FICO
What we know

Car buyers with bad credit that are interested in easy qualify car loans should probably attempt to raise their credit scores before applying – which is something that requires a basic understanding of how the FICO scoring system actually works.

Here at Auto Credit Express we know this is true because we’ve spent more than two decades helping car buyers with damaged credit find just the right new car dealers that can give them their best opportunities for auto loan approvals.

We also believe that one of the best explanations of credit scoring would certainly come from the people at FICO – the company that created what is currently the most widely-used credit score.

About a year and a half ago they conducted a joint “TweetChat” with Bankrate.com. We thought this discussion would be so worthwhile for credit-challenged consumers that we decided to list a few of those questions and answers here:

TweetChat Q and A

Does my credit score determine whether I get credit?

Your score will likely play a big part in that decision, but lenders won’t all view your score the same way. That’s because lenders have different tolerances for risk. Some lenders will require a higher score than others do for the same basic credit product. Also, lenders often will consider other information in addition to your score as they make their decision. This can include information from your credit application (such as income, length of time on your job, own vs. rent), any prior credit experience you have had with that lender, and the value of the property (auto or real estate) you want to buy.

What can I do to significantly improve my credit score in the next couple of days?

There are no quick fixes when it comes to improving your credit standing. Getting a good FICO® Score is the result of maintaining responsible credit habits over time. The most import of these habits are:

• Pay your bills on time
• Keep any credit card balances low
• Apply for new credit only when necessary

You also should check your credit reports for accuracy. You can get your reports for free once each year from www.annualcreditreport.com.

Does checking my own credit report or credit score hurt my FICO Score?

No. When you check your own FICO Score or credit report, the resulting inquiry on your credit report is ignored by the FICO scoring formula and will never hurt your FICO Score.

Are the FICO Scores sold to consumers by myFICO.com an approximation of the score lenders see?

FICO Scores sold by myFICO.com are precisely the same scores used in credit decisions by thousands of U.S. lenders and other businesses, large and small. Other websites may sell scores that imitate the FICO Score in look and feel, but they use different formulas, have different score ranges, and may mislead people into taking inappropriate actions with their credit. Genuine FICO Scores are always clearly labeled as such.

As we see it

Understanding the credit scoring process is especially important for car buyers with damaged credit that are interested in easy qualify car loans and therefore need to start the credit repair process before applying for a loan.

Another important thing to keep in mind is Auto Credit Express specializes in helping applicants with bruised credit find those dealers that can give them their best chances for approved auto loans.

So if you’re ready to reestablish your car credit, you can begin now by filling out our online auto loans application.

How to Buy a New Car with Poor Credit

Car buyers with problem credit that qualify for a new car auto loan may want to check out what Kelley Blue Book had to say when it compared the five year total cost of ownership of a number of compact cars
How to Buy a New Car with Bad Credit
What we know

One of the keys to successfully completing the auto loan process for consumers with questionable credit is an understanding of the total cost of vehicle ownership.

At Auto Credit Express we have come to realize how important this is after spending more than two decades helping car shoppers with bad credit searching for online car loans find those dealers that can offer them their best opportunities for a loan approval.

This is because once applicants are approved it’s time to look at which of those vehicles they qualify for will, in the long run, end up being more affordable to own and operate.

Kelley Blue Book

Not long ago Kelley Blue Book’s published a report that looked at the vehicles with the best Total Cost of Ownership among cross-shopped models for both the Chevrolet Cruze and the Honda CR-V – which, at the time, were two of the most-researched vehicles on their website.

For purposes of this discussion, the CR-V, along with those vehicles cross-shopped with it, is probably too expensive to finance for most buyers facing credit problems. On the other hand the Chevrolet Cruze, along with its cross-shopped vehicles, could fit the budgets of many car buyers with poor FICO scores.

“With Total Cost of Ownership information, consumers can better understand the financial implications associated with the initial five years of owning a car,” said Juan Flores, director of vehicle valuation for Kelley Blue Book.  “As Kelley Blue Book’s data reveals, depending on the model’s MSRP, fuel costs and other financial factors, other models on their consideration lists could offer a greater value over time.”

Total ownership costs

Here is the list of the rankings of the top five vehicles with’s lowest five-year ownership costs that were crossed-shopped with the Chevrolet Cruze:

Rank    Model            5-Year Total Cost of Ownership
1    Toyota Corolla      $32,811
2    Hyundai Elantra    $34,123
3    Chevrolet Cruze     $34,705
4    Honda Civic           $36,344
5    Ford Focus           $36,591
6    Volkswagen Jetta   $36,865

According to, “The Chevrolet Cruze, a most-researched car on, has become a top-selling vehicle in its segment and for General Motors. However, Kelley Blue Book’s data reveals that other models may offer competitive ownership costs during the initial five-year period.  On, consumers in the market for a Chevrolet Cruze also are considering the Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra.  Both models provide lower ownership costs at $32,811 and $34,123, respectively.  The Chevrolet Cruze sits in the No. 3 spot, followed by Honda Civic, Ford Focus and the Volkswagen Jetta.”

Cost calculations

The 5 year total cost of ownership includes depreciation expenses which are computed using KBB’s own residual values while it “calculates total ownership costs for new vehicles by applying a sophisticated valuation methodology along with critical financial data from third-party providers.”

As we see it

For consumers that find themselves in the position of having to reestablish their car credit, the vehicle they choose not only has to meet their transportation requirements it should also be affordable to both own and operate.

For those finding themselves in this position we hope the information supplied by Kelley Blue Book will help in their decision process.

One more helpful bit of information: Auto Credit Express matches people that have experienced car credit difficulties with those new car dealers that can offer them their best chances for car loan approvals.

So if you’re ready to reestablish your auto credit, you can begin now by filling out our online car loan application.

Summer Infant By Your Side Sleeper Now $36 @

10 February 2016

PicMonkey Collage

Attention all new mommies and mommy-to-be's! The Summer Infant By Your Side Sleeper is currently on sale for 40% off at Which means you will pay just $35.87 including shipping for this fabulous item. This may be the perfect solution for those that want their baby in bed with them, but don't want the risks that accompany that aspect of parenting. Moosers, would you use this?

If you were thinking of co-sleeping, would this be something that you use? If you are against co-sleeping, would this nifty item change your mind? I personally had a bassinet in my bedroom for my son when he was newborn. It was a lot easier to get up and check on him when he was fussing. It was also a lot easier for my to fall back asleep since I didn't have to get up and run down the hall.

This Summer Infant By Your Side Sleeper would make life even easier I would think. Baby can be right between you and hubby without any concern of rolling onto the little one, or the little one rolling out of bed. For just $35.87 this would also make a nifty little travel-crib for visiting your in-laws and such too.

You will also get free shipping from since this item is over $25. While Toy R Us does have this item for the same price, you would be paying an additional $12 or more for shipping and handling. If this item is the way you want to go, then Amazon is your best bet.

Moosers, would you use this?

  • Saron
    I used this. Wasn't comfortable in bed because it's too high - You have to fully sit up to pick up the newborn. However it's great for keeping at other places in the house, and folds up very small for travel. $36 is a great price for it!
    • Brooke Wilson EDITOR
      Hi Saron! That does make sense! Does it fold down at all? I thought I saw some images of the sides being able to fold down.

On tap at the Peg’s Berliner Bash. Served in a mini snifter. Pours a nice golden color with a good white head. The nose brings forward a really nice white grape and gooseberry character. The Nelson Sauvin is very noticeable without being over the top. Faintly reminiscent of Amarillo as well. Wheat base and light acidity. Dry and thirst quenching. Another very excellent berliner from 7venth Sun.

Pale yellow/straw with a white head. Nose is sort of sulfury, a little vegetal, maybe some dog food, too. A light grainy note, lemon peel, slightly bacterial. The flavor is a bit better than the nose. Lemon peel, grapefruit, light grain, sulfur, and grass. Little bit of Jolly Rancher, too. Really weird...not a big fan.

NOTE: This is a collaboration with Dunedin Brewery.

Reviewed from notes. Had on-tap at Dunedin Brewery. Poured into a pint glass.

A: Pours a hazy light yellow with a one finger white head. There is essentially no carbonation visible through the haze.

S: Somewhat sour and tart, cracker malt, lemon citrus, and yeast.

T: Taste follows the nose well: lemon juice and tartness, yeast, bready malts, sour lemon finish.

M: Light body with a drying finish, absolutely no alcohol presence, nice carbonation sensation on tongue.

O: Very good. It's not as fruity as many of the other berliner-weiss offerings down here in FL. But excellent at what it is - a bit sour & nicely refreshing.

Masterworks program music reflects the year at Bethel College

1200px 650px

NORTH NEWTON, KAN. – The annual Masterworks program, a May tradition at Bethel College, will be a bit different this year.

The Masterworks concert is Sunday, May 6, at 3 p.m. in Memorial Hall on the Bethel campus (note time change from some previously printed material, made to accommodate the USD 373 All-District Band concert in Athletic Park that evening).

The Masterworks music this year is for wind ensemble rather than orchestra, and written by two contemporary composers – one of whom will be present for the Bethel performance of his work.

The first half of the program will be Symphony No. 1 ‘Blue’ (1999) by James Syler, for wind ensemble, chorus and soprano solo, with Bethel’s instructor of voice, Soyoun Chun, featured as the soloist. The second half will be David Maslanka’s popular Symphony No. 4 (1992), written for a large wind ensemble.

The Bethel College Wind Ensemble will form the core of the instrumental group, with the addition of 22 guest musicians, many of them professionals.

“People don’t usually think of wind ensembles playing symphonic literature,” says Timothy Shade, a member of Bethel’s music faculty who directs the Bethel College Wind Ensemble and was in charge of organizing this year’s Masterworks program. “You think of a band, playing marches and things like that, but the [symphonic] literature is out there. It’s a personal charge of mine to spread that word.”

For the last number of years, Bethel’s Masterworks programs have featured the Newton Mid-Kansas Symphony Orchestra and the Bethel Oratorio Chorus, which comprises all Bethel vocal groups and the Newton Community Chorus. William Eash, Bethel professor of music, has chosen the music and directed the combined choirs and orchestra.

This year, however, Eash accepted an invitation for the Bethel College Concert Choir to sing with the Wichita Symphony Orchestra in a performance of the Beethoven Mass in C Major, April 14-15. Eash knew, Shade says, that preparing for that event, plus the spring tour in March, would make it hard for him to also organize the Masterworks concert.

“I was not very far in the door at Bethel College,” says Shade, who began teaching at the college in 2008, “when I heard the Concert Choir, and said to Bill, ‘We have to do the Syler.’ So as soon as he asked if I would like to do the Masterworks this year, I knew that would be one of the pieces.”

A last-minute, special addition is that the composer will be present for the Bethel performance. Shade knows James Syler and David Maslanka and has been in e-mail communication with both of them as he’s been preparing the Masterworks program.

“Out of the blue, [Syler] called,” Shade says. “He asked how things were going, and he was very excited to learn about the size of the chorus. Then he said, ‘I don’t know if you have the budget for this, but I would really like to come.’

“I still remember the experience, as an undergraduate, of meeting a composer,” Shade continues. So Bethel is flying Syler from his home in San Antonio, in time for him to meet and talk with the students before the May 6 concert.

Because Syler’s Symphony No. 1 is “not what you’d call a ‘happy’ piece,” Shade says, he was looking for something a bit more upbeat for the second half. Maslanka’s well-known Symphony No. 4 seemed an obvious choice.

“Maslanka is very popular among contemporary wind ensembles,” Shade says. “He’s our Mahler. He’s written nine symphonies, and he writes with such scope and broad form.” So Shade went with Symphony No. 4, even though it is “the hardest material [my Wind Ensemble has] ever seen.”

Shade didn’t think of it as he was initially planning the Masterworks program, he says, but the combination of the two pieces reflects this year at Bethel College.

In the program notes for Symphony No. 1, Syler says, “For many years, I have wanted to write a large work that would combine my musical and literary interests. So much of 20th-century fiction presents despairing characters who find their resolution in some form of self-destruction. In writing the text for this work, I wanted to create a narrative that would resolve despair in a different way. This free-verse lyrical narrative, titled ‘Blue,’ is in a broadest sense about the loss of love and the process of reconnecting with love.”

Maslanka says of his work: “The roots of Symphony No. 4 are many. The central driving force is the spontaneous rise of the impulse to shout for the joy of life. Out of this, the hymn tune ‘Old Hundred’ [‘Doxology’], other hymn tunes (the Bach chorales ‘Only Trust in God to Guide You’ and ‘Christ Who Makes Us Holy’) and original melodies that are hymn-like in nature form the backbone of Symphony No. 4.

“I have used Christian symbols because they are my cultural heritage, but I have tried to move through them to a depth of universal humanness, to an awareness that is not defined by religious label. My impulse through this music is to speak to the fundamental human issues of transformation and rebirth in this chaotic time.”

“It made sense, given the year we’ve had,” Shade says, “starting out losing [Seth Dunn, a student killed in a skateboarding accident], someone so young and vibrant and full of life. His death hit many of the music students hard. The shape of the concert is something like: With Syler, going down; feeling lost; then a beginning of the way out; followed by a return to the light with Maslanka.”

Shade says it’s similar to what Eash did with the Concert Choir, who for their spring tour program sang Eric Whitacre’s long lament, “When David Heard,” followed by “Light of a Clear Blue Morning.”

“The ‘Doxology’ has such a powerful resonance for this community,” Shade says, referring to the Maslanka symphony. “I thought, ‘We have to go there.’ I think we’ll all be changed by this.”

His Wind Ensemble players have been “working their tails off,” he says. “We thought we couldn’t get much bigger than our KMEA performance [last February]. We got a lot of acclaim – people are still talking to me about it. But they’re up for this challenge.

“Concerts like this don’t come around often,” he says. “It’s important for the students and the community to experience literature of this breadth.”

Vocalists for the Masterworks program are, in addition to Chun as soloist, members of the Bethel College Concert Choir, Men’s Ensemble and Women’s Chorus and the Newton Community Chorus.

Instrumentalists are Bethel College’s 67-piece Wind Ensemble with the following guest musicians: Amy Hoffman, piccolo; Jennifer Kirk and Kristen Shaffer, flute; Cindy Thompson, oboe; Gabrielle Baffoni-Shade, E-flat clarinet; Jill Gatz, James Pisano and Kristen Pisano, clarinets; Mary Rose Biltz, contrabass clarinet; Zach Hague and Heather Garrison, bassoons; Vanessa Davies, contrabassoon; Richard Benson and Melissa LeBlanc, French horns; Benjamin Fairfield, principal trumpet and piccolo trumpet; Levi Morris, trumpet; Matt Blauer and Mark Robinson, trombones; Richard Evans, tuba; Karen Bauman Schlabaugh, piano; Rosanne Penner Kaufman, organ; and Faith O’Neal, harp.

Tickets for the Masterworks concert are available at Thresher Bookstore in Schultz Student Center on the Bethel College campus during regular business hours, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Mon.-Fri., phone 316-284-5205, or at the door. All seats are general admission.

Bethel College is the only private, liberal arts college in Kansas listed in the 2011-12 analysis of top colleges and universities in the United States and is the highest-ranked Kansas college in the Washington Monthly annual college guide for 2011-12. The four-year liberal arts college is affiliated with Mennonite Church USA. For more information, see

Cook Time: 25 Minutes

Servings: 12

My mom used to make apple crisp all the time during harvest season... so I made it BD-friendly and then added my own spin to them! Perfect for a party!

  • 4 med. apple, red, fresh, organic
  • 2/3 c. butter, unsalted, organic, raw or unpasteurized, grass-fed/pastured
  • 1/2 c. coconut sugar, organic
  • 1/2 c. oats, old fashioned rolled, dry, organic
  • 1 1/2 tbs. cinnamon, ground, organic
  • 1/2 c. almond flour, organic

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 12 muffin cups with aluminum foil muffin holders.

Peel and core the apples. Cut them into 1/4-inch cubes. Divide the apple cubes among the 12 muffins cups. You can sprinkle them with some additional cinnamon or nutmeg if you desire.

Combine butter (at room temperature), coconut sugar, oats, cinnamon, and almond flour in a bowl. Use a fork to knead the mixture until it's crumbly and can form a ball in your hand.

Now the fun part... prepare to get messy hands! (Please wash them first!) Top each the muffin cups with approximately 2 tablespoons of the crumble, patting down to cover the apples until all the mixture is used... it should cover most if not all of the apple. (This will keep your apples from drying out.) Bake for 20-30 minutes or until apples are soft (use a fork to test them).

Notes: I'm a huge numbers person so each muffin tin gets 1/3 of an apple. I sliced mine into quarters, then sliced each quarter into 4 more slices (making 16 slices per apple). Each tin got 5 slices, which were further chopped into square sized pieces. I ate the leftover slices :)

Xi Jinping Overreaches in the East China Sea

a | A

Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) -- The Communist Party summit that recast Xi Jinping as a reformer extraordinaire has produced its first foreign-policy initiative: poking Japan in the eye.

That seems to be the point of China’s declaration of a vast “air defense identification zone,” in which Beijing has essentially claimed the airspace around disputed islands administered by Japan. The provocation came just two weeks after the party called for a new national security council to coordinate military, domestic and intelligence operations in China. Political analysts who worried that the body might herald a deepening Asian Cold War weren’t being entirely paranoid.

There’s nothing particularly shocking about establishing such a council, state-run media says. The U.S. and Russia both have one, after all, and even Japan is talking about creating its own. Besides, as the Xinhua News Agency was kind enough to inform readers in a Nov. 22 explainer piece, “China is a stabilizer for world peace and security, and the new commission is like a performance guarantee for the stabilizer and will in turn bring benefits to the whole world.”

Tell that to Itsunori Onodera, Japan’s minister of defense, who’s working frantically to decode what China means when it warns that its military may take “defensive emergency measures” if planes don’t identify themselves in the new air defense zone. Or Onodera’s South Korean counterpart, Kim Kwan Jin: Some of China’s zone overlaps with waters off Jeju Island. Or Chuck Hagel, the U.S. defense chief, who got dragged into the controversy and responded, boldly, by flying two unarmed B-52 bombers into the area as a warning to Beijing to back off. When he visits Japan, China and Korea next week, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden can expect some pretty testy exchanges.

Playing Provocateur

China’s move belies all the talk of its peaceful, magnanimous rise as a world power. A tiny accident or miscalculation in the skies above the disputed islands -- called the Senkakus by Japan and Diaoyu by China and Taiwan, which separately claim them -- could easily spiral out of control, dragging Washington into a clash that would shake the global economy. Instead of being a stabilizer, China is proving to be a provocateur.

It’s hard not to wonder if political testosterone has gone to Xi’s head. He emerged from China’s recent four-day plenum as the most powerful Chinese leader since Deng Xiaoping. Xi may be especially willing to risk a confrontation with Japan right now in order to distract opponents of his proposed reforms, as well as ordinary Chinese who are growing restless over pollution, income inequality and official corruption. Nothing brings China’s 1.3 billion people together so easily as hating the Japanese.

China doesn’t deserve all the blame for the precarious state of northeast Asian affairs, of course. That dubious honor must be shared, and owned, by the region’s other two newish leaders: Shinzo Abe of Japan and Park Geun Hye of South Korea. It was Tokyo’s imprudent decision in September 2012 to buy the disputed islands from a private owner that truly incensed Beijing. The purchase may turn out to be the most expensive $26 million investment a government has ever made.

Abe is an unapologetic revisionist who remains intent on whitewashing Japan’s World War II aggression, including the government’s role in keeping military sex slaves; flexing Japan’s muscles in Asia; and perhaps revising its pacifist constitution. Park rarely misses a chance to hammer Japan about the sins of the past, though the points she scores at home come at the expense of a critical bilateral relationship.

Military Blows

Yet it is China’s actions that most risk sparking conflict. They also contradict the spirit of reform and “opening up” repeatedly hailed at the Communist Party’s recent plenum. In addition to Japan and Korea, China’s air zone is sure to worry officials in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan, all of which are embroiled in territorial disputes with Beijing. A group of Chinese scholars want Beijing to claim Okinawa, too.

However powerful Xi has become, he’s not adding to China’s store of “soft power” with such behavior. The country took a big hit abroad for its chintzy $100,000 aid offering to the typhoon-devastated Philippines (international press coverage shamed Beijing into upping the donation to $1.6 million). Its inflammatory new policy will only further alienate neighbors in a region it’s seeking to woo away from the U.S.

Biden should take advantage of this dust-up to advance a U.S. “pivot” to Asia that until now has lacked both carrots and sticks. In Tokyo, he should prod Abe to lead his people toward more enlightened engagement with Asia rather than follow his base nationalist instincts. In Seoul, Biden should encourage Park to work with Abe, even if just on trade, the environment, North Korea and the challenges of governing a fast-aging population. The U.S. also should push the case for regular three-way summits between the leaders of Japan, China and Korea no matter what’s afoot. Face-to-face meetings can create momentum toward deeper ties.

But Biden’s sternest conversation should be with Communist leaders in Beijing. China says its global ambitions are peaceful and war isn’t in the national DNA. Great. It says it believes in mutual respect for other countries’ domestic affairs. Fine. It says it wants to “make Chinese culture go global.” All sounds good. Beijing’s recent actions, however, inspire little confidence in its words.

Amanda V (12/08/04)

I chose to read this book for an assignment for my AP US History class and I cannot tell you how impressed I was. Some of my friends read this book a couple of years ago in their 8th grade US History class and told me how great it was, so I thought that I would take a chance on it. I loved it and now am even more intruiged to read Moby Dick because I don't know how that story could be any more interesting and exciting as fiction than it is as nonfiction.
Keven (10/16/04)

It is a good book to understand American culuture,even human nature, it is not only a historic story, but a reflection of current world. Is that whale just a whale ? He is a hero.

Alice (09/09/04)

This book starts off kind of slow but realy picks up in the middle and is on fire by the end, youll be asking yourself "Is there a sequel?"
Susan (03/24/04)

I loved this book! It's a great true story,and it offers insight into a place, time and industry that I knew very little about.
Sarah (01/22/04)

This book was not only insightful as to some of the nature of cannibalism, but it also gives insight into the hard life that these men had to endure as sailors.
andrea b. (01/14/04)

Slim Whitman

American singer
Alternative Title: Ottis Dewey Whitman, Jr.
Slim Whitman
American singer

January 20, 1924?

Tampa, Florida

June 19, 2013

Orange Park, Florida

Slim Whitman (Ottis Dewey Whitman, Jr.), (born Jan. 20, 1924?, Tampa, Fla.—died June 19, 2013, Orange Park, Fla.) American country singer who achieved international recognition, most notably for his smooth yodeling voice and distinctive pencil-thin mustache; in a six-decade career, he recorded some 500 songs and sold more than 70 million albums worldwide. His 1954 hit song “Rose Marie” reached number one on the U.K. popular music chart and remained there for 11 weeks, a feat unmatched until 1991 (by Bryan Adams’s “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You”). Having injured his right hand in a meat-packing factory accident, Whitman taught himself to play the guitar in a left-handed fashion while serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He sang on radio stations in Tampa and caught the attention of Col. Tom Parker, who later managed Elvis Presley. With Parker’s support, Whitman signed (1948) his first recording contract with RCA Victor. In the 1950s he even toured with Presley, who served as Whitman’s opening act. Whitman had modest success until 1952, when his hit “Indian Love Call” reached the top ten of the U.S. country music charts, along with “Keep It a Secret” and “My Heart Is Broken in Three.” Whitman recorded dozens of albums, but he achieved much of his success overseas, especially in the U.K., where he performed multiple times at the International Festival of Country Music. Whitman’s music was featured on soundtracks for several films, including Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and the science-fiction comedy Mars Attacks! (1996). Although he was never inducted into the U.S. Country Music Hall of Fame, Whitman was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Musket, muzzle-loading shoulder firearm, evolved in 16th-century Spain as a larger version of the harquebus. It was replaced in the mid-19th century by the breechloading rifle. Muskets were matchlocks until flintlocks were developed in the 17th century, and in the early 19th century flintlocks were replaced by percussion locks. Most muskets were muzzle-loaders. Early muskets were often handled by two persons and fired from a portable rest. Such a weapon was typically 5.5 feet (1.7 m) long and weighed about 20 pounds (9 kg). It fired a 2-ounce (57-gram) ball about 175 yards (160 m) with little accuracy. Later types were smaller, lighter, and accurate enough to hit a human-sized target at 80–100 yards (75–90 m). These weapons had calibres ranging from 0.69 to more than 0.75 inch (1.75 to more than 1.90 cm).

Spanish military superiority eventually owed its success to the introduction in 1521 of the musket (an improved harquebus) and to the refinement of pike and musket tactics in the years preceding the Battle of Pavia.

Road: Brooks wins in Après 2

Road: Brooks wins in Après 2

Home » Road racing

Location: Preston Park Cycle Track, Brighton, West Sussex
Event:7 December 2013

Riders and spectators were again treated with mild, dry conditions and little wind at the Preston Park velodrome.

In the main event of the day there were hopeful attacks firstly by Graham Collins (Ipswich Bicycle Club) and also Simon Brooks (VC St.Raphael), after which an inevitable bunch finish seemed likely.

Redhill CC had the numbers and the question was would Ryan Visser (Redhill CC) grab the sprint win?

George Fox (45RC) led the group into the final lap, holding on until the penultimate bend, only to be passed by Simon Brooks and Ryan Visser. Brooks took the inside line and the win, holding off Visser who ran out of track.

There was also an impressive win for Zak Corum-Haines (VC Jubilee) in the third category race, who despite riding with dispensation on youth gearing, managed to time his assault to perfection and hold off a rampaging bunch.

There were also wins for James Mapley (Southdowns Velo) in the fourths, giving him a third category license and Sean Warner, Isaac Wright, Abby Old and Daniel Allpress were victorious in the youth races.

Racing returns at the same time at Preston Park next week, with prizes and free Apres - The Hot Recovery Drink all round!
