Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.

She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

That's just the economic cost to Minneapolis. Doesn't include economic cost to the rest of the data (think I heard north of $500m) nor what the federal government spent to carry it out.

Meanwhile parts of the Dept are so underfunded that choices are forced between buying repair parts or meeting payroll. Idk where the money is but it isn't manifesting at the end lower levels.

Soccer starts normal, but every two minutes each team has to pull a player until it's just the goalies. Better than PKs IMO.

This is just so incredibly fucked up and could have horrible consequences including veterans deciding not to take their medication so their much needed monthly disability compensation isn’t reduced. Shame on Doug Collins and the VA leadership

I've wondered about that last point since your post re: lack of children on observed flights.

The state plane The governor is flying around the state today, pushing education reforms. How much does it cost to fly around the state?

Kinda looks like training, but found this little nugget researching: www.mprnews.org/story/2008/0...

DAV statement on VA Interim Final Rule concerning disability ratings and medication

Hearing the VA suddenly and without warning changed how disability ratings are calculated, circumventing the normal comment period and 60-day congressional review processes.

Florida Tech has been one of the go-to schools for Army logisticians to get distance-learning Supply Chain Management degrees. Not sure if still the case, but they used to have in-person classes at Fort Lee (Army's Home of Logistics).
