Local airman graduates basic military training

BROADALBIN - Air National Guard Airman 1st Class Jacob G. Comini graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas.

The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills.

Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.

Comini is the son of Philip and Lynette Comini of County Highway 138, Broadalbin.

He is a 2011 graduate of Broadalbin-Perth High School.

Higher Ed Bubble Driving Luxury Development Around College Campuses

The higher ed bubble ? the explosive growth in tuition and student loan debt driven by government policies promoting college ? has resulted in a lot of hiring and compensation growth in the higher ed industry.

And, in turn, that?s driving big-money development around college campuses to serve this growing class of rich university elite.

Real-estate investors and developers, hungry for new areas for growth, are finding a lucrative and previously untapped market in these areas surrounding college campuses, one marked by low inventory, booming enrollment and an increasing appetite for luxury living.

We see this national trend here in North Dakota, where salary for the state?s 11 university presidents has grown rapidly over the last decade (more than doubling for the heads of NDSU and UND). North Dakota?s new chancellor, Hamid Shirvani, got a $120,000 per year raise over his predecessor (he promptly bought a Porsche upon taking his new job).

At North Dakota?s largest university, the average full professor makes over $100,000/year, an amount that has grown $42,000 over the last decade.

How many of you are making $42,000/year more than you were a decade ago? Not many of you. But then, most of us don?t work in an industry in the middle of a bubble.

?When the borrowed money dries up, this?ll change,? writes Glenn Reynolds, author of The Higher Education Bubble.

Indeed it will. But in the mean team, let?s remember that this opulence is built on the back of unsustainable amounts of student loan debt, even as the value of a college degree declines.

INDIANAPOLIS ? U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar will continue wielding influence in Washington after he leaves office, albeit with a much younger audience.

Lugar is starting a Washington, D.C., internship program with the University of Indianapolis called the Richard G. Lugar Academy. He has also agreed to deliver a handful of lectures each year as a distinguished professor at the private university.

Lugar, 80, said Friday the academy will focus on many of the issues he's addressed in his 36-year Senate career, including weapons proliferation and global food shortages. He smiled broadly as he talked about mentoring students over the last four decades and said the new program should help more students gain experience in the nation's capital.

"It will not be mandatory that they have a semester there, or even a few weeks, but many will want to choose that. As a result we will try to introduce them to people in Washington D.C., as well as to problems that everyone there, as well the students, will try to solve," he said.

He punctuated just how close students could get to international issues by recalling his own experience during the 2001 anthrax attacks on the Capitol, which put the area on even higher alert shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11.

"We were rushed out to the Dirksen (Senate office) building, our throats swabbed and told to take Cipro tablets for 48 hours or we might die. And that was not melodramatic, the post office people that handled this died," he said. "This happened in our country, in my office."

The question of Lugar's post-Senate career has lingered since he was defeated in May after a grueling primary battle with the tea party-backed state treasurer Richard Mourdock. Lugar's name arose as a possible choice to replace the departing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but aides quickly nixed that idea. He said Friday he was not contacted by the Obama administration about a Cabinet position.

Lugar has travelled the globe promoting non-proliferation since May and was most recently awarded the Defense Department's highest civilian award for his work with former Georgia Democratic Sen. Sam Nunn.

Lugar said he is looking at potential work with Indiana University and Georgetown University to expand the public service program, and is also in talks with the German Marshall Fund.

Lugar's announcement marked something of a homecoming for the elder statesman. University President Robert Manuel said in his remarks that it was former University of Indianapolis President Gene Sease who convinced then-Mayor Lugar to teach at the university while running for U.S. Senate in 1976.

"Professor Lugar taught political science that year, giving students a front-row seat to the electoral process," Manuel said.

Lugar later joked that the job was perfect: he taught in the morning and campaigned in the afternoon and evening.

Sony Online Entertainment publicly shames cheaters of Planetside 2

Sony Online Entertainment publicly shames cheaters of Planetside 2

"Haruhi at http://artificialaiming.com was just banned. all 3 of his accounts. Goodbye you scumbag. Find a new hobby or get good at the game."

Ouch! This was posted publicly from John Smedley, president of Sony Online Entertainment. If that won't bring the red out in your cheeks, nothing will.

This was only part of a chain of posts by Smedley, though it may be the most cutting. He and SOE have been ruthlessly hunting down cheaters, hackers, and ne'er-do-well-ers on the game Planetside 2. They ban the players, and then periodically publicly shame them via social media sites such as Twitter. That's where Smedley has been posting these biting gems.

Sony Online Entertainment publicly shames cheaters of Planetside 2

In truth, the players of the game itself have been complaining at length about the amount of cheaters in the game. SOE is only, in essence, responding to what the majority of their gaming audience wants - retribution.

?I want to make some very clear statements about hacking in PlanetSide 2.?We are aggressively banning people,? Smedley said. ?We play the game ? we see the people using aim bots. We are banning them. We see people attempting other stuff. We are banning them.?As they develop hacks, we will break the hacks. We have time and great people. Trust that this is a top priority. Hackers will not win.?

There was some negative response to the naming-of-names by John - he has this to say about that: ?People are asking why I publicly named Haruhi. Ordinarily our policy is not to do that. Since he?s pushing the Aimbot site?I thought an exception has to be made for the guy pimping the tools hackers are using. It?s not to shame him. It?s to make an example?and say ?the stuff this guy is selling or giving you will get you banned? just like him.?

Sony Online Entertainment publicly shames cheaters of Planetside 2

Wow. What a warning. These are some pretty strong words from the president of such a big company. It seems there is a trend growing with large online games to outright ban people from playing - earlier this week we saw Riot Games ban a pro player from League of Legends, and now this. Better question - is this hot, or not?

Jawbone starts over, announces a redesigned version of its Up lifestyle-tracking wristband

Jawbone Up starting over with the company's lifestyletracking wristband

In life, we're often told the best-learned lessons are those spurred by mistakes. In Jawbone's case, its plague-ridden Up wristband from last winter turned out be a sweeping education. So much so that the Jambox-maker now refers to the launch as an accidental "beta" program; a public exercise in wearables R&D that ended in an official apology and full refunds.

Sounds extreme, but those missteps led to a ground-up reinvention for the product: the company just announced a new version of the band, which goes on sale today for $129 with necessary improvements in tow: a refined mold, reinforced water-resistance and a more robust iOS app. In advance of this v2.0 launch, we sat down with the company's VP of Product, Travis Bogard, to find out just what went wrong with its ambitious first effort, how it got fixed and what new innovations users can look forward to this time around. So, follow along as we look back at the growing pains that spawned Up's rebirth.

The Nexus 4 sold by T-Mobile doesn't have Wifi Calling

T-Mobile Logo

There's been a lot of back and forth about the specs of the Nexus 4 being sold by T-Mobile. We already gone over one hurdle confirming that all Nexus 4's are HSPA+ 42, and now we're going to clear the air on Wifi Calling. We've been saying since the end of October that Wifi Calling will not be included, and we're happy to report that we can confirm this independently. We've reached out to T-Mobile directly, and a spokesperson has confirmed for us that indeed there is no Wifi Calling on-board on the Nexus 4.

Let's all reflect on the fact that this is actually a good thing. Not having carrier software included on the Nexus 4 coming from T-Mobile reaffirms the idea that this is the exact same model being sold by Google in the Play Store. Users who buy their phones from a carrier shouldn't have to be second class citizens to those who buy directly. This is a good move by Google (and T-Mobile) and it will save a lot of frustration down the road when it comes to software support.

    Israel fires warning shots at Syria over Golan shelling

    JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli forces fired into Syria on Sunday in what the military called a warning, after stray munitions from fighting between Syrian troops and rebels hit the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

    The incident, described by Israel Radio as the first direct engagement of the Syrian military on the Golan since the countries' 1973 war, highlighted international fears that Syria's civil war could ignite wider regional conflict.

    An Israeli security source said the military fired in the direction of a Syrian army mortar crew that had launched a shell which overshot the Golan disengagement fence on Sunday, exploding near a Jewish settlement without causing casualties.

    In a statement, the Israeli military said soldiers had "fired warning shots towards Syrian areas".

    "The IDF (Israel Defence Force) has filed a complaint through the UN forces operating in the area, stating that fire emanating from Syria into Israel will not be tolerated and shall be responded to with severity," the statement said.

    There was no immediate comment from the 1,000-man United Nations Disengagement Observer Force which patrols the area.

    Spillover violence this month from Syria onto the Golan has jangled the nerves of Israelis worried that the once-quiet front will add to threats facing the Jewish state from Islamic militants in neighboring Lebanon, Gaza and Egypt's Sinai.

    There have been similar worries in Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon about incidents on their own borders with Syria, where forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad have been battling rebels for 19 months.

    "WE WILL RESPOND"

    Interviewed by Israel's Army Radio earlier on Sunday, Defence Minister Ehud Barak was asked about public warnings he and another senior official issued to Assad last week to rein in Syrian sweeps against rebels near the Golan.

    "The message has certainly been relayed. To tell you confidently that no shell will fall? I cannot. If a shell falls, we will respond," Barak said, without elaborating.

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, also speaking before Sunday's mortar strike on the Golan, told his cabinet that Israel was "closely following what is happening on our border with Syria .. and (is) prepared for any development".

    Israel captured the Golan in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed the strategic plateau in 1981, a move not recognized internationally. In all past peace talks with Israel, Syria has insisted on the Golan's return.

    The two countries signed a disengagement agreement in 1974, a year after another Arab-Israeli conflict, and though they are still technically at war the Golan had been mostly quiet since.

    Another Syrian mortar bomb, one of a salvo, struck a Golan settlement on Thursday but did not explode. Separately, Israel complained to the United Nations this month after three Syrian tanks entered the Golan demilitarized zone, and said one of its army jeeps had been hit by Syrian gunfire. No one was hurt.

    Israel has tried to stay out of the insurgency next door, reluctant to be drawn into another war and unclear about whether a post-Assad Syria might prove more hostile.

    But Barak has said he hopes the rebels will win, Assad will fall and "a new stage in the life of Syria will begin".

    Israel's military chief, Lieutenant-General Benny Gantz, warned troops on the Golan Heights a week ago: "This is a Syrian issue that could become our issue."

    Smart Senior: Senior Fitness: Exercises for the Hips

    Senior Fitness: Exercises for the Hips

    A guest post by Elizabeth Carrollton

    GuestpostDuring the golden years, keeping fit and active means taking care of hip health. Hip problems are a big risk after age 65. In fact, hip trouble is one of the most common causes of disability in people of this age group. Weak muscles and bones are often factors in common hip problems and is frequently due to a lack of regular, weight-bearing exercise. So turn off the TV and get busy, because when it comes to hip health, that old saying, ?use it or lose it? is absolutely true.

    Why is Hip Health So Important?

    Taking care to maintain hip health can help you avoid common problems that can occur with aging. Weak hip muscles don't provide proper support, which can cause poor alignment and instability in the hip joint, resulting in reduced joint function, joint pain and excess wear that can lead to arthritis, which affects one of every four seniors in the U.S. Weak hip muscles can also lead to poor balance, causing you to join the one of every three seniors that takes at least one fall every year. Weak bones break easily and are a factor in many of the 250,000 hip fractures that happen annually.

    Hip replacements are done in more than 400,000 people each year, many of them due to arthritis and hip fractures. While they can resolve pain and disability due to serious hip problems, hip replacement procedures do not come without risk. Recovery can be long and difficult, taking anywhere from a few months to a year or more in some cases, so prevention is definitely the better way to go.

    Also, hip replacement implants have been problematic for many people lately, with several faulty models recalled due to high rates of failure and complications, including the popular DePuy ASR hip replacement systems. Implanted in thousands of patients, these devices can cause metallosis, a serious condition related to metallic implant debris. In these cases, that debris collects in the soft tissues of the hip, causing severe hip pain and inflammation and often leading to tissue death, bone loss and implant loosening or failure. Several hip replacement lawsuits have been filed due to this.

    How Does Exercise Help?

    Muscle mass and bone loss are common, age-related issues that make joint damage and injuries more likely in seniors. However, regular exercise can slow those processes, keeping muscles and bones strong and healthy. Exercise keeps muscles strong and flexible for good joint support, as well as spurring increased bone cell production to maintain bone strength and density, reducing risk of joint injuries, hip fractures, arthritis and osteoporosis.

    Hip-Healthy Activities

    Just 30 minutes of moderate weight-bearing exercise daily, like walking, bicycling, swimming or dancing is enough to maintain bone and muscle strength. Yoga, Pilates and tai chi are very good for hip health as well, enhancing both strength and flexibility. Incorporating low-intensity weight training or resistance exercise into your fitness routine two or three times a week can also be beneficial. Whether it's a walk through the neighborhood or a regular workout at the local gym, staying active is the key to preventing common and often disabling hip problems.

    Earthquake rattles eastern Kentucky

    USGS

    An earthquake map from the USGS shows Saturday's 4.3-magnitude quake.

    By NBC News

    A 4.3-magnitude earthquake struck eight miles west of Whitesburg, Ky., early Saturday afternoon, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

    The epicenter of the shallow, light earthquake was 0.7 miles deep under?the Appalachian Mountains town of Blackey,?near the Virginia border,?the agency said.

    There were no immediate reports of damage in the eastern Kentucky area.


    The tremor was felt?from Cincinnati, Ohio, to Atlanta, Ga.,?USGS geophysicist Paul Caruso in Denver?told NBC News.

    "Normally, we don't expect major damage with this kind of intensity," but it's "not out of the question" that there could be some -- usually, major damage is expected when magnitude is 5.5 or higher, Caruso said.

    Eliminating Stress To Help You In Self Improvement

    This article has been viewed 3 times.

    Do you want to improve the quality of your life? Here are some tips to get you started on a journey of personal growth and development.

    If you want to improve yourself, write down a specific list of things you want to improve. For example, if you wish to become more confident in your life, write that down. Next, think of actions that you could take or have taken to boost your self-assurance. Finally, seek out situations where you can implement those actions. By tackling it methodically, you will have a much higher chance for succeeding.

    Becoming more healthy is an important part of developing personally. Creating a healthy lifestyle requires you to stay motivated at all times. The better health you are in, the easier it will be to accomplish your goals in other areas.

    Learn what others have done that has made them successful. Learn from their mistakes and think about following a similar path if your goals correspond to theirs. Knowing what lessons have already been learned will positively affect your personal development.

    TIP! Find books that inspire you. Some people find inspiration in the Bible, and others find it in self-help books.

    As long as you put in the work to earn the degree and have the skills to do the job, most employers do not care what name is at the top of your diploma. Only the most prestigious of positions look at where you went to school. However, the important thing is to get a good education and increase your opportunities.

    When you?re trying to improve yourself, failure can be a terrible hit to your self-esteem. Approach your failures as opportunities to learn. Failure can teach you a great deal about what your strengths and your weaknesses are. If you think of it that way, you can find pride in failure, because the experience has revealed another facet of your character.

    To keep from saying something you may regret later, count from one to ten before speaking. This gives you time to get your emotions under control. Breathe deeply and transport yourself to a tranquil place. Focus your efforts on staying cool and level-headed; say only what must be said.

    Not only is getting organized an achievement in itself, but it will help you to meet other goals faster. If you break big goals down into little sub-goals, you will gain confidence as you achieve the sub-goals. There are several ways to track your personal development goals, be it through a daily journal or with the aid of a planner.

    TIP! Instead of focusing on your own achievements, ask others about theirs. This will help you to remain humble while giving you a picture of how people around you operate.

    You need to care for yourself before you can care for others. If you are a huge success, but dead tired all the time, you are not properly taking care of yourself. You need to find time for rest.

    Humility is a key factor in self improvement. When you realize how insignificant you really are, you will begin to understand you have more to learn. You will make dramatic progress in your self improvement once you accept that you still have a lot to learn and become eager to experience all the new things you can.

    Don?t push your body too hard when you are striving towards a goal. You should always put forth your best effort, but you also need to stay within your limits. Taking care of your physical abilities is more important than achieving a goal. If you sacrifice the needs of your body, it will greatly hinder your self improvement.

    Make your goals specific; this way, they can lead to personal development success. If there are specific goals present, it will be easier to figure out the path that you should take to meet them. You can face each challenge and move on to the success you desire.

    TIP! A positive attitude is required for you to make any progress in your development. A negative attitude will hold you back and even send you down the wrong path.

    Only you can decide that you are ready for and want change. The only way to grow and change is to embrace the idea, and work hard at implementing those changes.

    By now you should realize that changing your life does not have to be a frightening prospect. Keep in mind the fantastic benefits you can gain from developing your life into something you love.

    Bobbi Kristina Voices Frustration About Whitney Tributes On 'The Houstons: On Our Own' (VIDEO)

    Bobbi Kristina voiced what she was really feeling about all of those tributes that came up after her mother's untimely death on the latest installment of "The Houstons: On Our Own." In particular, the BET Awards had a tribute for Whitney Houston planned that they wanted Bobbi Kristina to be a part of, but she didn't want to attend.

    "With all these tributes and everyone, ?Oh I loved your mom, I missed her? and this and that -- You guys are the same people that criticized her when she was alive," Bobbi Kristina said. "So, to me, all this is bullsh*t."

    It's an understandable position, considering the rough time Whitney Houston had in the press in the years leading up to her death. By this point, Bobbi Kristina had already accepted a posthumous Billboard Music Award for her mother.

    The emotional process of mourning a legend and family member continues on "The Houstons: On Our Own," Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Lifetime.

    Delicious Stuffed Avocado Recipe ? The Positive Pear

    Avocado known by many interesting names, including the alligator pear, butter pear and vegetable butter. Avocados have amazing anti-inflammatory properties that fall into five basic categories. Which are omega-3 fatty acids, phytosterols, carotenoid antioxidants, non-carotenoid antioxidants and polyhydroxylated fatty alcohols, also known as PSAs. ? According to the World?s Healthiest Foods website, the anti-inflammatory properties of the avocado make it beneficial in helping to prevent rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Having such amazing anti-inflammatory benefits also make it a great anti-aging food, as well as a nutrient dense, natural anti-inflammatory for conditions which contribute to chronic inflammation such as Ankylosing Spondylitis.

    Avocados are also packed full of dietary fats to provide maximum absorption of necessary fat-soluable phytonutrients. These phytonutrients, which are also known as carotenoids, include lutein, alpha-carotene, beta carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin. By adding?150 grams of fresh avocado to your salad or eating avocado with similar foods increases absorption between 200-400%. Remember to peal NOT slice to get more of the green dark green flesh that lies just beneath the skin.

    Here?s another fun TPP recipe using super yum avocados. Serve as an?appetizer, side dish, or if you LOVE avocados as I do, then enjoy as a meal. :)

    2 tablespoons Red Onions, finely chopped
    1/4 tablespoons seedless Cucumber, peeled & diced
    1/4 cup Grape Tomatoes, diced

    2 Avocados, peeled, halved, pitted and rubbed with lime juice
    1/4 cup of fresh Cilantro, or Parsley finely chopped (for topping)
    1 Head Romaine Lettuce leaves, washed

    Combine chopped red onion, cucumber, diced grape tomatoes, bell pepper, kalamata olives, garlic, Anaheim pepper and lime juice. Rub avocado with the remaining lime juice.

    American Suzuki Files For Bankruptcy

    Suzuki Logo
    American Suzuki Motor Corp. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday night. The company will discontinue automotive sales and focus solely on motorcycles and ATVs.

    Based in California, the manufacturer was the sole distributor of Suzuki vehicles in the U.S., The New York Times reports. Slow automobile sales and unfavorable exchange rates discouraged further investment in the U.S. car industry, although the decisions of the American arm of the company will not change the parent company, Suzuki of Japan.

    ?The most important thing for you to know is that we intend to continue to operate our Motorcycles/ATV and Marine businesses as usual,? Suzuki chairman Takashi Iwatsuki wrote to customers, as quoted by Cycle News. ?We remain very proud of our high-quality motorcycles, ATV and marine products, and we will continue to bring to the U.S. market more of the products that you have come to know and expect.?

    Even with the shift, Suzuki plans to continue to uphold its motorsports presence in the U.S., and it will likely remain one of the top providers of ATV riding gear and motorcycle gear. Both car and motorcycle consumers will also still receive customer support, the news source reports.
