Specialist Gregory Searcy, transportation management NCO of 129th CSSB, said this was the first time he had ever conducted Aerial Delivery training. “You can deliver more supplies to Soldiers by using a method of travel by land, especially having multiple trucks that are able to ship more supplies,” he said. ![]() Soldiers with the 129th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 101st Sustainment Brigade, watch as bundles from the C-23 Sherpa aircraft are pushed out.

Govs, Lady Govs each picked eighth in preseason OVC cross country poll
With both his team’s reporting to campus, Tuesday, head coach Doug Molnar is encouraged by what he has seen in their first few preseason practices. He is even less concerned with the league’s preseason prognostication, which he feels is not indicative of his team’s potential this upcoming season. “A lot of the rankings are based on what you do the previous year,” said Molnar. “We finished eighth in both the men and women’s competitions last year so that’s probably where we should be picked. I believe we’re going to be stronger than both those finishes by the time the championship rolls around. I really like these two teams and how close-knit they are with one another.” «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Sports | 0 comments

The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier AllenMarket Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist ![]() Scott J. Brown Ph.D., Chief Economist Raymond James Investment Services There were several surprises in the economic data reports, mostly to the downside. The market took some comfort earlier in the week as the Producer Price Index (PPI) seemed to suggest that deflation was less likely to be a problem and that manufacturing output was strong in July. However, the core PPI (reported up 0.3%) was boosted by what is likely to have been a seasonal adjustment quirk in light motor trucks. Industrial production was boosted partly by a 9.9% jump in motor vehicle production, which reflected fewer-than-usual summer plant closings (prior to seasonal adjustment, auto output fell 20.3% in July). On Thursday, the stock market was rattled by a further increase in initial claims for unemployment insurance benefits (which may or may not be distorted) and by a surprisingly weak Philadelphia Federal Reserve Index (-7.7, compared to expectations of +7.0). «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Business | 0 comments
