Khowst Province, Afghanistan – Helicopters have become a common sight in Afghan skies, and whether carrying supplies and personnel or providing close air support for ground troops below, they have proven to be an invaluable asset in the war against terrorism.
Keeping those helicopters running and in top mechanical shape is no easy task, but for a few Soldiers at Forward Operating Base Salerno, that mission is their focus, and it is a job they take seriously.

No Evidence of Impending Double Dip Recession According to Vistage CEO Confidence Index
Taxes and Healthcare Will Weigh Heavily on Future Economic Growth and in Mid-Term Elections
San Diego, CA – CEO confidence was up slightly in the third quarter, noting a slowing economic growth pace, but no evidence of a double dip recession, according to the Vistage CEO Confidence Index 3rd quarter results. Despite widespread recognition of the recent economic slowdown, CEOs were more confident in their firm’s ability to increase their revenues and profits in the year ahead.
Yet, virtually every CEO (92%) expects rising employee health care costs, and 57% of all CEOs expect those cost increases to be more than 10%. Two-thirds of all CEOs said that without the extension of the Bush tax cuts their businesses would be harmed, and nearly half (46%) reported continued unfavorable credit market conditions. In response to a question about the upcoming elections, 62% of CEOs believe the Republicans will control the U.S. House of Representatives in January 2011.

Sydney Guillaume to Host Concert at APSU
Clarksville, TN – A standard, pedagogical practice among choral teachers is to start students off with easier pieces, allowing them to feel success and build confidence. But this year, Korre Foster, assistant professor of music and director of choral activities at Austin Peay State University, is trying a different tactic – he’s challenging his young singers right away to step out of their comfort zones.
“We’re off to a running start, but maybe faster than they expected,” he said.
That’s because the University Choir’s first concert next month will feature the works of the acclaimed, Haitian-born composer Sydney Guillaume, who will visit campus the week of October 4th-8th as one of this year’s four Acuff Chairs of Excellence.
