	NOLS and Primal Quest Join Forces
		NOLS' risk management and leadership skills are an invaluable asset that can be incorporated immediately into future Primal Quest events," said Primal Quest CEO, Rich Brazeau, "The relationship will also offer our volunteers and staff a unique opportunity to discover the renowned backcountry curriculum provided by NOLS around the world."
		NOLS founder Paul Petzoldt's idea was simple: take people into the wilderness for an extended period of time, teach them the right things, feed them well and when they walk out of the mountains, they will be skilled leaders.
		That is the backbone of every NOLS course and today the school is widely recognized as the world's authority in the extended expedition and outdoor leadership.

	National Organisation of Labor Students - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although NOLS was avowedly socialist, historically opposed to HECS, and to most of the economic measures introduced by the Hawke and Keating Governments, these areas became subject to much debate in later conferences with positions on economic issues becoming more and more ambiguous.
		NOLS was also critical of many aspects of the ALP's social policy, particularly with regard to the rights of queer people, and women.
		NOLS subsequently attained the presidency with the election of John Carey.

	Ryan Jordan's Backcountry: NOLS & Ultralight: Part II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		NOLS is very serious about not only bringing dedicated lightweight courses into their curriculum, like the one above, but also infecting the entire NOLS course program with lightweight philosophy.
		It's important for organizations like NOLS to see what is possible with a light pack and light gear, in spite of the fact that this gear may be wholly inappropriate for their purpose.
		The best NOLS instructors will be the ones that are able to confidently impart a lightweight curriculum to their students because they will have taken ultralight gear to the edge, and experienced its failure themselves.

	Get Maximum Use From NOLs
		Conceptually, the notion of an NOL is relatively straightforward.
		If the NOL is not fully absorbed in the carryback or carryover year, the taxpayer must then carry it over to the next earliest tax year.
		Under the AMT rules, use of an NOL is limited to 90% of a taxpayer’s income (after the taxpayer has modified the NOL for the adjustments under IRC sections 56 and 57 and preference items under section 58).

	NOLS moves toward advocacy
		Yet last year, NOLS joined a coalition of conservation groups asking the Forest Service to withdraw plans to lease 158,000 acres for oil and gas drilling -- an area that is part of NOLS’ winter wilderness classroom.
		NOLS instructors have made numerous trips into the area, either solo or leading groups of students.
		NOLS operates extensively in official wilderness areas, but operates just as often on other public lands where multiple use is the rule.

	Stegman & Company - Construction/Real Estate
		In this case, youÕd be smarter to waive the carryback period and carry forward the NOL to years in which you can use it to reduce income that otherwise would be taxed at the higher percentage.
		For example, a taxpayer might be better off electing the two-year carryback instead of the five-year carryback for a 2002 NOL if its 2000 and 2001 income was substantially higher than its 1997, 1998 and 1999 income, and the NOL isnÕt big enough to offset all five years of taxable income.
		The truth is, NOLs have always been a good way for companies to cope with the inevitable ups and downs of doing business.

		After ten days of melting snow, living in snow shelters, participating in avalanche awareness courses and scenarios with the National Outdoor Leadership School while on their Backcountry Snowboarding course, I have a much better awareness of the dangers that exist in the backcountry and how to avoid them.

		The program leaders (not OB or NOLS) were not pleased when she showed up in boots with nylon, but she has very hard feet to fit, and those boots were what fit, so she wore them without incident and blister free.
		NOLS isn't for everyone, but if you're daughter wants to do this, and you can afford it, don't pass this opportunity up.
		I am not a spokesperson for NOLS or any other outdoor education program...I am a mother and I am proud to be a spokesperson for my son...thanks for the opportunity to brag.

	The Index - NOLS bus arrives amidst concerns over gas prices
		The bus is sent around the U.S. to demonstrate the three parts of the NOLS curriculum: skills, leadership and environment.
		Most restaurants happily give the NOLS bus their used grease; normally, the restaurant pays a waste service to remove the grease, but NOLS takes it for free.
		Although the NOLS bus fired up their RVO engine and left Kalamazoo College at the end of All Campus Fest, the idea of energy conservation remains strong.

		I’ve just gotten an e-mail from Rich Brame from NOLS Alumni, and although at first he was hesitant, he now supports the goals of the website.
		I understand that these students may be highly experienced, but the NOLS philosophy is fairly universal, and when working in a group is really a nice experience.
		I am looking to form a bond with NOLS so that they can certify that the people that claim to be graduates really are graduates, and also have NOLS send prospective students here for advice.

	Take a NOLS Outdoor Leadership Course in Yellowstone Country (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		At NOLS, leadership isn’t just a concept to be studied and pondered; you get the tools to be a leader and you learn by doing.
		NOLS has grown and changed over the past four decades, but at the heart of every course lies Petzoldt’s idea: take people into the wilderness for an extended period of time, teach them the right things, feed them well and when they walk out of the mountains, they will be skilled leaders.
		For those who want to come with a group, NOLS Professional Training can further develop teamwork by custom designing a course with the skills you seek in the area you wish to travel in.

	Kidface: Personal tips in preparing for a NOLS course
		If you've decided that you are interested in a NOLS expedition, here are a few tips that can help you enjoy your experience.
		Again, I did this for six weeks before the expedition to build some calluses and make my feet "less sensitive." Perhaps that is one of the reasons I had no trouble with my feet with all of the hiking and climbing we did.
		A NOLS course and snowboarding have one very fundamental thing in common: "you will have fun!!"In a very real sense, it is up to you what kind of time you are going to have, but if you think like a kid, as I suggested, you can't help but have a good one!
