President wanted
Qualities of a good President
They lived a very simple life without many frills. There seems to be none like him left?
Harry & Bess Truman
Harry Truman was a different kind of President. He probably made as many, or more important decisions regarding our nation’s history as any of the other 32 Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House. The only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, which was in Independence Missouri . His wife had inherited the house from her mother and father and other than their years in the White House, they lived their entire lives there. When he retired from office in 1952 his income was a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an ‘allowance’ and, later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year. After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, Harry and Bess drove home to Missouri by themselves. There was no Secret Service following them. When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating,
“You don’t want me. You want the office of the President, and that doesn’t belong to me.. It belongs to the American people and it’s not for sale.” Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to accept it, writing, “I don’t consider that I have done anything which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise.” As president he paid for all of his own travel expenses and food. Modern politicians have found a new level of success in cashing in on the Presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, too many in Congress also have found a way to become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices. Political offices are now for sale (ie. Illinois ). Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, “My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any difference!”
You have probably heard the old saying that “ anybody can grow up to be president. But, not everybody is cut out Richard Matz, Publisher to be President. It takes a special kind of person, someone tough, smart, and driven, just to run for the job. It takes still more talent and character to hold up under the pressures of life in the White House. The President must be a great motivator and smart enough to select the absolute best people for the appointed positions the President is responsible for filling. He also has to be humble enough to listen and act on the opinions of those smart people he selected. Sorry for the use of that “he” pronoun but we haven’t had a female president yet. While the history books glorify presidents who start wars that abuse their power, the truly great presidents are the ones strong enough to avoid using their power to attempt anything which is impossible. A truly great president does not intervene in other countries except for defense and does not intervene in the economy because he realizes that such actions are counterproductive. A truly great president also stays out of the peoples personal lives, except for truly defensive purposes (ie. punishing violent crimes) A great president is not one who desires to roll other people, but one who desires to rule as little as necessary. — Richard Matz, Publisher.

Wanna be a great President, gotta have a good hair One of the needed attributes you need to become president of the United States is a great head of hair. Proof positive is in the pictures below. So all you wannabe presidents, look in the mirror and check out your coif. In recent memory, especially since when you could see these guys on TV, our commanders-in-chief have been blessed with the good hair gene. In fact, you have to go all the way back to the 1950s and Dwight Eisenhower to find a bald-headed president. Even if they go significantly more grey while in office, like Presidents Obama and George W. Bush, our presidents seem to have pretty healthy heads of hair. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that many of those aspiring to the office are blessed with good hair genes, too. The point is: In the age of television, appearance matters. I don’t expect we’ll elect another bald president anytime soon, which is too bad. ENTERTAINMENT

Enlisted Marine females begin infantry course The first group of enlisted Marine women will try their hand at completing the Infantry Training Course next week, part of the Marine Corps’s efforts to integrate women into frontline ground combat roles, according to Marine Corps officials. The Marines have sent six female officer volunteers to the Infantry Officer Course in Quantico, Va., but so far none of the officers have been able to complete the course. Six more officers
will attempt to complete that course in October. The Marines are hoping that more than a half dozen women will volunteer to try the 59-day training course for enlisted service members at the School of Infantry in Camp Geiger located near Camp Lejeune, N.C. Among the course’s various physical trials is a series of four demanding hikes beginning at 5 kilometers and increasing to 10, 15 and finally 20 kilometers.
Marines plan troop cuts
Congressionally mandated budget cuts will force the Marine Corps to trim the “strategy-driven” force design it had envisioned and shift toward reduced troop strength said Maj. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie Jr., the Marine representative for the Defense Department’s Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) being prepared for release in February 2014. The end strength reduction would require a 1-to-2 dwell force ratio, assigning Marines to six months of deployment, followed by
12 at home. The cut from the current 194,000 troops would be accomplished by 2017, McKenzie said, adding that if sequestration continued, the “lowest risk band” option the Corps could handle would be 174,000. The Marines’ plan also involves cutting tanks and artillery, eliminating a three-star expeditionary force headquarters command in Camp Lejeune, N.C., and deemphasizing long-term stabilization activities such as cooperative threat-response exercises with allies.

WHY, HOW AND WHERE YOU SHOULD START...
EATING BUGS By Andrew Tarantola Gizmodo.com Whaddya mean you didn’t chow down on cicada during this summer’s mass emergence? You’d be surprised how delicious those little creepy-crawlies are with a bit of salt and vinegar. Besides, if you had, you’d have gotten a head start on our inevitable bug-eating future. With a rapidly growing population already nearing seven billion humans, our current methods of farming large livestock (read: cattle) are simply insufficient to feed us all. Instead, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization has begun advocating an interesting solution. In an exhaustive report published this past May, the report states, “It is widely accepted that by 2050 the world will host 9 billion people. To accommodate this number, current food production will need to almost double. We need to find new ways of growing food.” That new way is entomophagy, the prac-
tice of raising insects as food.
A Ready Precedent
No, don’t scrunch up your nose in disgust. People in 80 percent of the world’s countries—roughly two billion in all— already eat more than 1,400 different species of arthropod. Thirty years ago, Westerners thought sushi was disgusting; before that it was shrimp, and before that oysters. Not only do we love those foods now, they’re considered premium items. So why can’t we get over eating shrimp that just happen to be on land? Outside of most first-world countries, eating insects is really common, ubiquitous even. Native tribes the world over have been consuming insects for millenia. In fact, coprolite analysis (that’s fossilized feces, by the way) from American and Mexican caves has revealed that our early ancestors routinely consumed a number of insect
species—ants, beetle larvae, lice, ticks, and mites—well before we attained the technology to hunt or farm. These ancient traditions are now carried on throughout Latin America, Asia, and Africa. North America, too, if you count the 200 million pounds of lobster and 300 million pounds of crab that Americans consume annually. What? If tuna is the chicken of the sea, then crustaceans are its bugs.
What’s Good (And Good For You)
As it turns out, insects aren’t just efficient to raise—pound for pound requiring a quarter the precursor and land as beef—they’re a pretty excellent source of protein and fat as well. 100 grams of crickets, for instance, contains 12.9g of protein and 5.5g of unsaturated fat. The same portion of grasshoppers has 20.6g of protein and 6g of fat, while that amount of lean sirloin comes with
30.5g of protein and 5.8g of fat. Opening up your diet to bugs gives you a huge range of options, as well. Giant water beetles are a popular choice in Thailand; a single serving contains nearly 20g of protein, 8.3g of fat, and the insects reportedly emit a delicious smell as they cook. Red ants are also a popular choice, especially dry roasted; a 100g serving includes 13.9 grams of protein and 3.5 grams of fat. That’s half the protein of a serving of Atlantic Salmon (25g) but it’s also less than half the amount of fat (8.13g). On the other end of the dietary scale are caterpillars. These grubs contain up to 55g of protein and 30 grgms of fat per 100 gram serving. That certainly won’t help your diet, but they taste delicious deep fried. You’ll want to peruse the selection of unique insects from Thailand Unique. The online retailer offers everything from snake whiskey to oven baked tarantula.

A young woman was having a physical examination and was very embarrassed because of a weight problem. As she removed her last bit of clothing, she blushed, “I’m so ashamed, Doctor,” she said, “I guess I let myself go.” The physician was checking hers eyes and ears. “Don’t feel ashamed, Miss. You don’t look that bad.” “Do you really think so, Doctor?” she asked. The doctor held a tongue depressor in front of her face and said, “Of course. Now just open your mouth and say moo.”
