Huckabee has focused his Texas campaign on rousing his evangelical core constituency in the Texas Bible Belt - conservative towns like Tyler in east Texas; Waco, home to Baylor University; Plano, a conservative, affluent Dallas-area community; and Fort Worth, where Huckabee attended the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in the 1970s. It is his efforts in Fort Worth that concern advocates like Miller; there SBOE District 11 member Pat Hardy, a former schoolteacher, curriculum adviser and moderate Republican, is facing a challenge from fellow Republican Barney Maddox, a urologist and ardent supporter of creationism. With no Democratic candidate on the ballot...
...base for trying other activities the area is famous for. Chug out to an oyster farm with a local fisherman to taste oysters scooped straight from the sea. Hike to hidden waterfalls. Sip potent caipirinhas made with locally brewed cachaç a. Or catch a speedboat to the ancient fort on Anhatomirim Island, where the Portuguese fought both Spaniards and pirates. Nature lovers should visit Garopaba Bay, south of Florianópolis, to spot whales migrating to warmer waters between June and November. It seems even the ocean-going whale finds the Emerald Coast too alluring to ignore...
Cassidy's final day of Army medical care began early on Tuesday, Sept. 18. That morning the Fort Knox medical clinic noted that he was "awake, alert, oriented to time, place and person, well developed, well nourished, well hydrated, healthy appearing, in no acute distress."

Martin, who found Cassidy's body, can still recall his horror but says he understands how it happened. "Nobody there had accountability for nobody," he says. Sergeant Jim Hunt, who lived in the Fort Knox barracks from January to July 2007, says only about half of those who were supposed to show up for mandatory formations--at 7 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.--actually...
Five days after Cassidy's death, the Government Accountability Office told Congress that more than half the WTUS had "significant shortfalls" in key positions. At Fort Knox, more than half the squad-leader positions--those most responsible for Cassidy's well-being--were unfilled. An Army report on TBI released in January also offered a grim assessment, finding "no specific standards" for dealing with the TBI problem, "major gaps" in coordinating care and "no medical-provider core competencies." Now the Army is rushing to catch up, setting up screening tools and treatment plans to deal with TBI and a "center...
