The previous leaked e-mails had two results:
Sham news reporting like Fox News cherry-picked out-of-context blurbs that made it sound like the scientists couldn't agree on anything.
Real news reporting actually read all the conversations and saw the conclusion was that the scientists were unanimous in agreeing that climate change is real.
That they'd do a second leak proves that the leakers are morons who think this offensive sound-bites Fox reports will have some kind of impact, whereas the actual content of the e-mail will reaffirm what everybody already knows. Climate change is real and these upcoming leaked emails won't change anything.
Also I love that Fox sympathizers have to commit a crime (hacking into an institution) just to get ammo which they mistakenly think will bolster their "cause". If they had the brains to actually read the emails themselves, they'd see it hurts them.
There are never definite answers, the lack of a definite answer isn't sufficient to prevent taking meaningful action to combat climate change. If you're wanting a perfect model, it's not going to happen ever.
In this case the record goes back many thousands of years. Sugesting that it's only 50 years is ignorant. But more than that the Earth isn't 14 billion years old, it's only about 4.5bn years old. The climate record itself via ice cores and tree rings goes far further back than just 50 years.
On top of that it's pretty well understood that climate changes tend to happen rather slowly under normal conditions. I'm not aware of any other period where the composition of the atmosphere changed this much this quickly naturally. There have been some substantial eruptions and impacts, but the resulting changes don't last as long as the ones we've been causing.
The climate record itself via ice cores and tree rings goes far further back than just 50 years.
Of course it does. The problem is then accurately correlating that data to a temperature model. There's still considerable debate about how to go about matching the ice core and tree ring to the climate of the time period. Even a small error in these calculations can result in data that's off significantly.
Not really.
I spent about 3 hours reading through the raw emails.
What I saw (and I'll at the very front-end say that my bias is I'm a "denier") was:
- lots and lots of crap, like you'd see in anyone's emails.
- some very smart guys discussing nuances of details in their particular field, so the discussions were very narrow and detailed.
- the predictable 'scorn' for the unwashed masses (ie anyone outside their field) who didn't "get it"
- a distinct defensiveness in any case where the data was being questioned, and a tendency to reach for the tinfoil hat about some sort of conspiracy of people working to discredit them
In short, I didn't see any 'smoking gun' of collusion or hiding anything. I doubt these will have that either.
What I saw was people very firmly convinced not simply that they were RIGHT, but that what they were doing was righteous and anyone who dared question it was either evil or a complete fool...which isn't precisely the mindset one would expect of a scientist for whom the data (alone) drives their decisions - or should.
Generally, they sounded very much like Slashdotters.
If they are so infuriated about the timing they could publish the emails themselves in less sensible times, thus evading some of the shitstorm and gaining back a bit of reliability.
Less sensible times?
How can things be less sensible than at present? But of course,
In the new release a 173MB zip file called "FOIA2011" containing more than 5,000 new emails, was made available to download on a Russian server called Sinwt.ru today. An anonymous entity calling themselves "FOIA" then posted a link to the file on at least four blogs popular with climate sceptics –
I'm going to just rush right over and download a 173 MB zip file from some random Russian server.
Talk about sensible....
Maybe if they had good reason to believe that more emails were obtained but not yet released.
But it's also a very understandable reaction. Would you want to release your organization's private emails when the only people interested in them are people trying to discredit you?
Also note that even if these emails are work related they are still private, consider any time you've sent an email without CC'ing someone, now consider your worst enemies combing through those emails.
Interesting. So, privacy is the biggest, most important thing to a slashdotter (witness: any number of stories on here about it), yet your solution is to tell them to totally give theirs up voluntarily?
They should publish all of their emails?
Why don't you do that? Because you're not a fool doing your job like a dancing clown on a stage, but rather to get the work done with your colleagues?
Anyone who thinks climate scientists aren't reliable as a result of the shitstorm over the totally non-issue emails isn't going to start thinking they're reliable for any reason whatsoever. They're going to keep seeing Fox Lies tell them they're unreliable, and repeat that to their friends.
FOIA = Freedom Of Information Act
Just because transparent research has found the same we shouldn't give credit to data forgers. They caused more harm in the public view.
Confirmed what? BEST did not at all look into causes of the warming we've seen since the Little Ice Age.
Berkeley Earth has not addressed issues of the tree ring and proxy data, climate model accuracy, or human attribution.
Continued global warming "skepticism" is a proper and a necessary part of the scientific process. The Wall St. Journal Op-Ed by one of us (Muller) seemed to take the opposite view with its title and subtitle: "The Case Against Global-Warming Skepticism -- There were good reasons for
Following some bullet-pointed quotes such as "Over 2.5 billion people live on less than $2 a day" and, "Nations must invest $37 trillion in energy technologies by 2030 to stabilise greenhouse gas emissions at sustainable levels," the message states:
"Today's decisions should be based on all the information we can get, not on hiding the decline. This archive contains some 5.000 emails picked from keyword searches. A few remarks and redactions are marked with triple brackets. The rest, some 220.000, are encrypted for various reasons. We are not planning to publicly release the passphrase. We could not read every one, but tried to cover the most relevant topics."
Listen, I'm all for the publication of the data and methods these scientists are using. But what exactly is releasing internal e-mails supposed to accomplish? Acting all righteous about "hiding the decline" and then you turn around and censor what you release?! That's pretty funny to me. Who do you think climate change is going to hurt the most anyway? My fat American ass shoving honey coated whole wheat pretzels into my gaping maw while surfing the internet? Or the truly poor people [wbur.org]? You know that subsistence farmer in Africa or China where a drought, famine or conflict could wipe him out at the drop of a hat? When times get tough, I'll have to give up my XBox Live Gold Account
It'll probably turn out like the UN anyway where the US pays $362 million and China pays $29 million [un.org] so that's some pretty flimsy motivation there when the wealthiest nations will most likely be footing the bill.
Just to clarify the UN budget argument:
"Each State's contribution is calculated on the basis of its share of the world economy."
"The primary criterion applied by Member States, through the General Assembly, is a country's capacity to pay. This is based on estimates of their gross national product (GNP) and a number of adjustments, including for external debt and low per capita incomes. The percentage shares of each Member State in the budget are decided by the General Assembly based on this methodology and
This event helps highlight the difficulty in approaching any non-trivial problem in an unbiased way. The problem is less about the science than it is that the researches were clearly biased and pursuing specific results. The fact that others have claimed to reproduce the results does not lend credibility as long as they fail to acknowledge their bias and operate in a fully transparent way.
Whether you agree or disagree with the question of human affected climate change you really can't deny the fact that these folks are heavily biased toward a specific outcome for their research.
Yes, climate scientists are overwhelmingly biased in favour of a theory of Anthropogenic Global Climate Change. I'll give you that.
However, I'll point out that historians are overwhelmingly biased in favour of the theory that some 10 million civilians were systematically murdered by the Nazis during World War II, the largest group for no better reason than who they were born to.
And biologists are overwhelmingly biased in favour of the theory that complex life evolved from less complex lifeforms over a perio
"Whether you agree or disagree with the question of human affected climate change you really can't deny the fact that these folks are heavily biased toward a specific outcome for their research."
Bullshit. That isn't how the science is done. And you would know that if you actually read any of the research that has been done over the past century.
Global warming isn't some new science that someone concocted over the past decade or two to get more money. It's origins date back to the 19th century. Climate chang
I read through all of the highlighted quotes, 90-95% of it is more of the same stuff, climate denialists trying to find hanging material in the lines of innocent men. But there are a few quotes that were worth leaking, particularly under the "religion" and "the cause" sections. It's worrying that so many climate scientists have a professed personal interest in the outcome of their experiments turning out to support the theory of global warming. If any outcome should make them happier, they should be happier to prove themselves wrong, both because that's where the really interesting results (and Nobel prizes) come from, and in this case it would be good news for the human race which is mostly still hemming and hawing over whether to take this carbon emissions thing seriously.

They are acting like its because of everyday scheduling concerns, but notice that ALL of the networks which chose to remove an episode singled out THAT particular one. BBC refuses to name the other countries that won't be seeing the AGW episode, but we know that Discovery Channel (e.g. the USA) won't be broadcasting it... surely it would upset advertisers (e.g. US Chamber of Commerce, who have become active denialists) to show that episode.
This and the emails are part of an effort to keep AGW from becoming a major election issue at a time when it is tangibly starting to hurt Americans.
To be fair it could be because it makes all the denialists (remember that 24% of *Slashdotters* are denialists, and 9% are "skeptical" - and that's a technical/science-oriented community) change the channel and reduces the likelihood of them changing back (because they'll get a reputation as a "warmist" channel).
It's like showing a movie with a topless scene to an audience containing ~50% uptight puritans. They'll run away and label you a smut peddler.
I'm tired of the distraction, the ridiculous ploys on all sides to muddle and obfuscate.
To the people doing research, I say stop "believing in" what you do or attaching any "moral justifications or superiority" to your work. The instant you shift your perspective from objective investigator to champion of justice, you lose any ability to have a clear and objective conversation about what's actually happening. Now, more than ever, detached, clear, investigation is essential. No matter how bad the truth is, you'll only make it worse by trying to scare people or force outcomes. Be transparent, publish everything (including the stuff that doesn't fit you expectation) because we live in a powerful and chaotic environment and our theories are incomplete and anything you hide to protect your intellectual fiefdom, will prevent us from resolving the real situation and give the silly gits ammunition to justifiably counter you.
Now, to the silly gits... I am sick to nauseous of those who blindly follow indefensible belief systems including most organized religions, political systems and social orthodoxies. Wealthy and powerful people have spent billions to ply the nation with pure propaganda as news. These folks are so addicted to their wealth and power, that they will gladly see the world burn down, or the middle class vanish from the earth in a mindless attempt to wrest that last final milligram of worth from the naked earth. Sadly there are vast seas of silly people dancing to the music played by these despots because it agrees with their belief system, no matter that the very air and sky around them screams they are fools. I say to you "WAKE UP" that smell of roasting pork is your ass on fire. Get a clue, hell get two, they're small. Put your beliefs aside. Bother to look for the unadulterated, unvarnished truth. You don't even have to go very far. Look outside and notice that your garden will begin blooming nearly a month earlier than 50 years ago, weeks earlier than even 20 years ago. You think your garden is in on the scientific conspiracy??? Damned garden!
Last year humanity put more greenhouse gas into the environment that ever before in history. Period. You can't argue with that, Its like trying to argue the sun hasn't risen, you just look stupid trying. I get it, really, you're just sticking to your ideological guns. Its just this whole "Don't confuse me with facts, my mind is made up" thing doesn't impress the rest of the folks who actually have their eyes open while they're driving, in fact you're scaring us just a little. Loosen up that grip on the shotgun Willy, take a deep cleansing breath, then sit down with a cup of hot tea and talk with one of those whipper snappers with the weather vanes and the Doppler Radar about why he thinks the world is warming up. He'll probably mention all kinds of science stuff like physics, meteorology, biology, ecology, chemistry and archeology. Just be quite for a moment. Let it sink in. Now if you still think the world is flat, go out play, at least you gave reality a fair shot.
By the way. we used to think that humanity couldn't possible impact anything as large as the oceans either. There are now places in both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans (and I mean big place, like country big) that you can almost walk on the plastic junk and pollution. This is complicated stuff people, but if you just do the simple math, and have a talk with someone who vaguely understands how the planet works (or at least our best approximation at the moment) you'll understand why the folks who do the research are saying what they're saying. We are in trouble. We also have ways to solve the problem. It means we'll need to take responsibility for what we do. You know, take appropriate actions immediately, come up with inventive new technologies and economies, all around cool stuff. It also demands that we tell the people who are fighting so hard to keep their wealth and power that they should invest in the future instead. That way they'll get to keep their wealth and power and we all won't have to ride the earth into hell like Slim Pickens on the A-Bomb in Dr. Strangelove. [youtube.com]

Christie to Make Announcement About Sandy Recovery
11.28.12 6:54am
Governor Christie is set to update New Jersey on Superstorm recovery efforts
Recovery efforts continue in New Jersey more than a month after Superstorm Sandy pounded the state.
Gov. Chris Christie is scheduled to make an announcement about those efforts on Wednesday. Scheduled storm debris collections will begin on Toms River's barrier island. A private contractor will pick up the refuse.
Small Business Administration deputy administrator Marie Johns is scheduled to be on Long Beach Island Wednesday. She'll review the ongoing response and recovery efforts. The SBA offers businesses low-interest loans.
The American Red Cross will open two new service centers in Toms River and Atlantic City to assist people who lost homes in Sandy.

Benchmark reached. Mission Accomplished.
The University of Michigan Football program picked up it's 900th victory today against rival MSU Spartans.
Thank you Team #133.
Welcome Home Paul
He is an ugly bastard, but I love seeing him on display in the Hall!
Paul. Is. Home.
I can't wait for someone to ask Dantonio about giving UM it's 900th win
"Next question!"
How do you feel about "300" now? We've got 900.
"next question"
He's going to be here for awhile.
Thanks Team #133.
Team #133
#68 against MSU
#900 All-Time
This bottle of Bo is gonna be really tasty...
Go Blue.
900th win in the big house against little brother - just feels right. Glad it was not on the road against someone like Minn.
*Win #100: October 5, 1901 - Beat Case 57-0
*Win #200: October 9, 1915 - Beat Mt. Union 35-0
*Win #300: October 1, 1932 - Beat Michigan State 26-0
*Win #400: October 23, 1948 - Beat Minnesota 27-14
*Win #500: November 11, 1967 - Beat Illinois 21-14
*Win #600: October 21, 1978 - Beat Wisconsin 42-0
*Win #700: November 4, 1989 - Beat Purdue 42-27
*Win #800: September 30, 2000 - Beat Wisconsin 13-10
...and with pleasure, I add...
*Win #900: October 20, 2012 - Beat Michigan State 12-10
So it looks like we can expect #1,000 in about October 2023? Looking forward to it!
The enduring consistency is remarkable ... and quite gratifying.
To celebrate 1000!
that the 1,000 win could come towards the end of the 2021 season. I think we will have between 10-12 wins this year, that puts us at 905 to 907.
Let's say we have 905 going into 2013, if we play in the BTC 5 out of those 9 seasons, thats's 14 games a season, I'd like to think we would have 11-12 wins in those years, thats at least 55 wins for 960.....we would need 10 wins a year the other 4 years, not impossible with Hoke as coach.
This is why It's Great to Be a Michigan Wolverine. Didn't play our best at all on offense but we were able to gut it out in a rivalry game where it doesn't matter what the records is.
This is one I will tell my grandkids about someday when I'm an old geezer in my rocking chair.
So proud of this team. Thank you so much for this guys. Every former player, every former coach is a proud Michigan Man right now. From Yost to Schembechler and from Heston to Hart.
It's Great To Be A Michigan Wolverine!
I like that fact that wins 300 and 900 came against Sparty. The only school that's helped UM make history twice!!!
ever be able to post in it.
I was here 10/20/2012.
I was at the game! Ugly game but a great finish. Go Blue!
I watched the game on TV and it didn't look ugly at all. Both defenses played really well. I don't think it was a case of bad offense because the offenses didn't make many mistakes. They just couldn't beat the defense.
You'd think the BTN color commenters would've talked about that a little instead of endlessly harping on about how MSU is looking to win 5 straight and Denard has never beaten MSU.
Oh wait, BTN is terrible.
900 great memories...Go Blue!
Last year I wanted OHIO the most, knowing that this annoying 4 year streak vs lil' bro would certainly end of its own accord as the universe inevitably righted itself. This year though I wanted Sparty BAD. I've had quite enough of their yapping. Natural order is restored with #900 coming against chrometastic STAEE. I haz happy.
This is what 900 wins looks like.
With advancements in cryogenics, you may live to see 900 too. Just make sure you choose the "100 years stasis" option.
I think "amazingly beautiful" is the description you were looking for here
Blue. Blue. Blue.
Wish I could have been there.
900 feels oh so good. The drive for 1,000 continues next weekend in Lincoln.
God, but that bearded man is a beautiful, beautiful sight
Great to be a Michigan Wolverine it's great to be a Michigan Wolverine.
Great to be a Michigan Wolverine it's great to be a Michigan Wolverine.

Thompson leads Baldwin in early results
- Associated Press
- November 6, 2012 - 8:43 PM
MADISON, Wis. - Republican Tommy Thompson has an early lead over Democrat Tammy Baldwin in the race for the U.S. Senate in Wisconsin.
Returns tabulated Tuesday by The Associated Press show Thompson up by about 10 percentage points with roughly 4 percent of precincts reporting.
Baldwin is vying to become the first woman senator from Wisconsin. She would also be the first openly gay candidate elected to the Senate.
Thompson is on the ballot for the first time since 1998 and trying to flip the Senate seat to Republican control for the first time since 1957.
The campaign was the most expensive ever for a Senate seat in Wisconsin and featured a barrage of negative advertising.
The vacancy was created by the retirement of Democratic Sen. Herb Kohl.

Question: How do I ensure my child receives proper diabetes treatment at school?
Answer: Well if your child has diabetes, they have to take it to school with them. The first thing to do is sit with your health care provider and work out a diabetes care plan for the school setting. There's a wonderful guide by the National Diabetes Education Program and you can get it on their website. It gives you all the issues about diabetes management in school including how to establish one of these care plans.
Take that care plan to the school, sit with the school nurse, talk about all the things that need to be done -- blood glucose testing, insulin delivery, how to treat high and low blood sugar. And with all that accomplished and you monitoring that everything is occurring the way it should, your child can succeed intellectually, emotionally, and medically in a school setting.

This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Interleukin 6 (IL6).
No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Interleukin 6 (IL6) and analogues was observed.
Matrices listed below were spiked with certain level of recombinant Interleukin 6 (IL6) and the recovery rates were calculated by comparing the measured value to the expected amount of Interleukin 6 (IL6) in samples.
|Recovery range (%)
|EDTA plasma(n=5)
|heparin plasma(n=5)
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Interleukin 6 (IL6) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Interleukin 6 (IL6) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.
CV(%) = SD/meanX100
Intra-Assay: CV<10%
Inter-Assay: CV<12%
The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of Interleukin 6 (IL6) and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.
|EDTA plasma(n=5)
|heparin plasma(n=5)
The stability of kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.

I would give an underage soldier a beer in my house, with or without her mothers permission.
In Ohio (USA) it is only legal to give alcohol to YOUR child and only in your presence. If you hand it to a child who is not yours. it is illegal. Period. End of statement.Saying that, this woman had no right to liqure up your son, and you could have had her arrested for it. We had a "graduation party" (high school) in our area last year where the PARENTS of the graduating child had several kegs of beer for the party. At a rented hall, needless to say, police showed up and every child that was underage (21) was counted up and the parents were given a $1000.00 fine PER CHILD. If I remember correctly it was somewhere in the neiborhood of 100 children. Yes $100,000.00 fine. And for once the judge didn't suspend it. But - Man it was some Party!!
I feel like I gave in to peer pressure and set a bad example and now I feel like crap. ... I already seem to have a bit of a reputation with this friend as a "prude" about raising my boys but I don't think this is a negotiable area.
I have to say if I was giving my 15 year old a drink on new years, I'd probably offer if to whichever of their friends were there as well)
Quote from: ClaireC79 on January 05, 2007, 12:26:38 PMI have to say if I was giving my 15 year old a drink on new years, I'd probably offer if to whichever of their friends were there as well)Does this mean that you really don't care whether the other children's parents approve or not? There may be a very good reason (from genetic predisposition to alcoholism to the fact that the kid just got out of rehab and no one told you) for the parents to prefer that if anyone makes decisions about "Oh, it's ok just to have one drink", it should be them. You know your own kids - you really don't know more than the surface details about their friends.
If their parent was also there then they would have the right to veto it and if they said no, then I'd respect their wishes but in general if they came to my house it probably wouldn't occur to me and would treat them like my own (This is probably at the age from 15/16). If they said no I'd take it at that and not push it, but I would offer. (If I knew the parents had rules over drinking then I would follow them)

Don't get sick from your picnic
CNN — Outdoor eating is one of the greatest joys of summertime. Unfortunately, the escalated temperatures and lack of access to clean water can significantly bump up picnickers' chances of contracting a foodborne illness like salmonella, campylobacter or listeria.
About 48 million people contract some form of food poisoning each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, so don't spoil your summer! Just take these four simple steps to stay safe and well-fed all season long.
Got all your picnic dishes devised? Good. Once you get your produce home from the store or farmers market, give it a thorough rinse under running tap water, then pat it dry before it goes in your cooler.
Firmer-skinned fruits and vegetables can withstand some scrubbing, but packaged goods marked "ready to eat," "washed" or "triple-washed" don't need extra dousing. It might seem like a lot of fuss to wash produce that will be peeled, but you're minimizing the chances of transferring harmful bacteria to edible inner flesh.
If you're not sure if there will be clean, running water available at your picnic destination, bring along a jug, soap and paper towels — or at least some moist towelettes.
Oh, and you remembered to wash your hands and any cutting utensils and surfaces with hot, soapy water before handling or preparing meat and produce, right? Of course you did. Now get packing.
If you possibly can, store beverages in a separate cooler. This might be inconvenient, but opening the lid repeatedly to acquire cold sodas and brewskis makes it harder to keep perishables properly chilled.
Said perishables — cooked and raw meats, fish, cheese, eggs, salads, condiments, marinades and produce — should be individually wrapped to prevent leaks and spills. Pack raw meats at the bottom and ready-to eat items at the top to avoid potential dripping.
Marinade that's come into contact with raw food should be tossed out. If you were thinking that your delicious blend would make an ideal sauce for serving, set aside a portion before it comes into contact with the raw meat or fish.
Bring along extra clean platters, plates and cooking utensils. Once an item has been used to hold or prepare raw food like meat, seafood, or eggs, it has the potential to contaminate cooked or ready-to-eat food.
That food cooler should be packed with sealed bags of ice or gel packs to ensure that perishables stay outside the "danger zone" between 40°F and 140°F where bacteria grows quickly. On the way to the picnic site, tote it in the passenger compartment, rather than a hot trunk, and stash it in the shade once you get to your destination.
It's fine to put meat in the cooler while it's still frozen; it will just take up to 50% longer to cook than fresh meat.
When it's time to eat, dish out portions of perishable foods (like salads, sides and cheese) and quickly return the unused portion to the cooler. Don't return leftovers to the original container to mingle with untouched food. Either put them in a separate container or discard them to avoid potential contamination.
Perishable food (hot or cold) shouldn't sit out for longer than two hours, or one hour if the temperature is above 90°F. Toss anything that's been lingering in the sun for longer than that; it's just not worth the risk.
A meat thermometer is a griller's best friend. It's tempting to judge doneness by sight, but the Food and Drug Administration recommends minimum internal temperatures for meat and fish in order to ensure that harmful bacteria is killed off. The reading should be taken from the thickest part of the flesh, not touching a bone, and most non-ground meats should be allowed to rest for about three minutes before serving.
Minimum temperatures:
Steaks and roasts: 145°F
Fish: 145°F
Pork: 145°F
Ground beef: 160°F
Egg dishes: 160°F
Chicken breasts: 165°F
Whole poultry: 165°F
Shrimp, lobster and crabs should be cooked until they are pearly and opaque. Clams, oysters and mussels must be heated until the shells open.
If cooked food isn't going to be eaten right away, it still needs to be kept hot. Wrap it in foil and move it away from the direct heat on the grill, or put it in an insulated container that's specifically designated for hot food.
– Fast facts on salmonella
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that people in a normal state of health who ingest Salmonella-tainted food may experience diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps, which typically begin within 12 to 72 hours. This may be accompanied by vomiting, chills, headache and muscle pains. These symptoms may last about four to seven days, and then go away without specific treatment, but left unchecked, Salmonella infection may spread to the bloodstream and beyond and may cause death if the person is not treated promptly with antibiotics.
Children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune symptoms should practice extreme caution, as salmonellosis may lead to severe illness or even death.
– Fast facts on listeria
According to the Food and Drug Administration, listeria is an organism that can cause foodborne illness. Symptoms of infection may include fever, muscle aches, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea. Pregnant women and adults with weakened immune systems are at the greatest risk and most healthy adults and children rarely become seriously ill.
— Fast facts on campylobacter
The CDC says that campylobacteriosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Campylobacter. Symptoms usually include diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain, and fever within two to five days after exposure to the organism and illness typically lasts about one week. In a people with compromised immune systems, the illness occasionally spreads to the bloodstream, causing a serious life-threatening infection.

The following message was sent by GOP U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers to supporters on 6/14/13:
"Growing up in Brighton, my mom ran the local Chamber of Commerce and my dad was a high school teacher, football coach and local official. Their selfless actions ingrained in me the importance of and honor in public service, and the satisfaction of working with others to improve our community.
It has been such a privilege and honor to represent the people of Michigan's Eighth Congressional District. In recent years, and with my constituents' confidence, we have been able to work in a bipartisan way to make a difference and accomplish great things for our state and country. We eliminated federal taxes on education savings accounts and protected the sanctity of military funerals. Together we continue to fight the massive government takeover of health care, and work to provide real cost savings and preserve the doctor patient relationship. We've worked to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil and led bipartisan efforts to protect the Great Lakes from invasive species like Asian Carp.
And now, as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, we've worked in a bipartisan way to dramatically improve the oversight of our national security programs and pass significant national security measures into law. We have also advanced important cyber security legislation and measures to crack down on cyber thieves like China who are stealing good-paying jobs from Michigan and around the nation.
I am truly humbled by the encouragement I have had to run for the United States Senate. After careful and thorough deliberation and long talks with my family, friends and supporters, I have determined that the best way for me to continue to have a direct impact for my constituents and the nation is to remain in the House of Representatives. For me, the significance and depth of the impact I can make on my constituent's behalf far outweighs the perceived importance of any title I might hold.
I believe that my constituents sent me to Washington to do something – to work to help improve the economy, crack down on wasteful Washington spending and keep America safe. With these marching orders, I believe that from my current position I am best able to have a real, positive impact on protecting our nation and her citizens. And with complex challenges in Syria, Iran, North Korea, North Africa, Afghanistan, and China – intelligence issues will continue to be at the forefront of American national security concerns in the coming years.
I am committed to doing my best on your behalf to work with Republicans and Democrats in a non-partisan way to advance America's national security interests in these areas, while conducting aggressive oversight of President Obama's new national security team and the policies this Administration is implementing. Of course, without strong national security, America cannot have a strong economy and good-paying jobs back home.
We in Michigan have the good fortune of having a deep bench of Republican leaders who would make great United States Senators. I have full confidence that Michigan's Republican primary voters will select a candidate who can win and who will represent what has united the Michigan Republican party for generations: support for the free market capitalism that has created the strongest economy and biggest middle class on earth, a limited government, a strong American foreign policy, and a robust defense of our nation's security.
Once the Senate primary has concluded, I look forward to doing everything I can to elect a Republican U.S. Senator from Michigan who will work to keep Michigan moving forward and help us get a handle on out-of-control Washington spending and debt.
Thank you again for your generous support, friendship and encouragement. I look forward to continuing to work together.
Mike Rogers"

The Question: Is there a family bathroom at the resort? I'd like to bring my little girl up there, but she is too young to use the women's room by herself, and won't go into the men's room.
This is one of the most frequently asked questions Mount Snow guest services manager Claire MacGregor fields—and with good reason. Making it hassle-free for families with younger children to visit your resort is vital. Convenient bathroom facilities, including ones for families, just might be one of the most important components. Nothing ruins a family fun day like a little one having an accident because there isn't a place for him or her to comfortably go potty. This applies to all seasons, and to mountain resorts of all sizes, regardless of how robust or low-key the operations are.
Do you have a Mountain Spy question for us to use? Claire did, and Mount Snow didn't get a call this time. Email your question to Dave Meeker (email@example.com), and if we use it, earn immunity for that issue.
Mountain 1, WI
First contact: Female
SAM: Stated question.
Staff: (silence…)
SAM: Hello?
Staff: I'm trying to think. There's a lot of johns around here. Um, we don't have one marked as a family bathroom. There's a bathroom downstairs that has no designation, it's just a door.
Staff: Umm, the change rooms are gender specific. Ummm… (silence…)
SAM: The unmarked one would work. It's just a matter of her not going in by herself and me not going into the ladies' room.
Staff: Realistically, unless you're here when there's a group or something, you really wouldn't have to worry about it (pause). I know what days are going to be busier, but it's pretty quiet otherwise. I'm not going to say it's a non-issue, because it is a serious issue, but there isn't much of a chance of someone else coming in if you did go into either of the gender-specific bathrooms. The unmarked one works for this, though.
SAM: Alrighty, thanks for the info. Hopefully we'll see you this summer.
Staff: Sounds good. Bye.

Comment: She caught herself, and realized recommending a dude going into the ladies' room, even though no one else is there, isn't a good idea. The conversation could've ended at, "it's just a door."

Staff: So it's in that X building, right by the X lift. It's downstairs, near where guest services usually is.
SAM: Awesome. Is it nearby where the activities are?
Staff: It sure is. All of our activities are in that general area, so it's pretty convenient.
SAM: Cool. Are there signs and stuff, or should I just ask a staffer?
Staff: Yeah, you can do that. But it is clearly marked, so you should be able to find it pretty easily.
SAM: Sweet. Thanks, man.
Staff: Yeah, you're welcome. Hope to see you soon.

Staff: Aaaaaaahhhhhh … let's see. Trying to think. Not really. There's a handicap one, but we don't use it in the summertime. There are bathrooms. You can probably wait right outside the door, or something.
SAM: OK. Are they nearby activities and stuff?

SAM: OK, great. Is it nearby the activities and stuff?
Staff: Yeah, the lodge is kind of the main building at the resort, so pretty much everything is nearby. It should be convenient no matter what you guys are doing at the resort.

SAM: Not quite sure yet, just wondering about the bathroom situation.
Staff: Sure, sure! No problem. We can certainly try to accommodate. I'm sure there will be someone around to help and make sure no one, you know, goes into the bathroom while you're in there. Shouldn't be a problem.
SAM: Oh, that's very nice. Thanks!
Staff: You're welcome! Hope to see you soon.

Staff: Well, this is always a good number to call with any questions! So, your timing is good on this question. Are you thinking of going up there this week?
SAM: No, sometime this summer. But I'm not sure when.
Staff: OK, right now we're in the midst of a large construction project, adding new features for the summer, and our base area lodge is currently under construction. And one of the things that's under construction right now are the bathrooms. Are you familiar with the resort?
SAM: Kind of. I've been there once or twice.
Staff: OK. So, the larger bathrooms are on what we call the ground level. And then we have some bathrooms on the main level, the level where you purchase your food and such. Right now, all of the bathrooms are under construction because they're redoing them all, so, presently, there are no place to go to the bathroom (laughs).
SAM: Ha! Gotcha.
Staff: There are some port a potties around, but technically the mountain is closed right now. We will be open for summer July 1. At that time, well, the first goal of our bathrooms is, in the past, on our main floor we've had just a women's bathroom and a men's bathroom. But, as part of this construction project, they're actually turning what was a janitor's closet in between the two bathrooms into a family bathroom. So, when you come up and visit later on this summer, there will be a family bathroom! That's a long answer to your easy question (laughs).
SAM: (Laughing).
Staff: That project is on the fast track to make sure we have at least those main level bathrooms completed by the time we open. So, it was very good timing for your question!
SAM: Nice! Thanks for the info.
Staff: Of course. You're more than welcome to go up there now, but you're just gonna have to wait until the first of July to have a place to go to the bathroom.
SAM: Yeah, can't leave a 3-year-old with no place to go potty.
Staff: For sure. I know how that goes. The first of July we're going to have some great summer family features, like a bungee trampoline, summer tubing, gem panning station—some engaging activities for kids. We're also building a mountain bike pump track that will be cool for little kids to ride strider bikes and stuff.
SAM: Wow. Sounds awesome. Exciting stuff.
Staff: Yeah, it really is. It's gonna be awesome.
SAM: Well, thanks a bunch for all the information.
Staff: Oh, you bet. I'm glad. I'm actually happy to be able to say that! It's good to know that somebody wants them!
SAM: I'm definitely not the only one!
Staff: Well, great. Is there anything else I can help you with?
SAM: Nope. That does it.
Staff: All right. I look forward to seeing you this summer. Take care.

AE bounces Lady Wolverines in district play
TWINING — Arenac Eastern kept its record-breaking season alive Monday, winning its district tournament opener against a stubborn AuGres-Sims squad 48-38 to advance to Wednesday's Class D district championship game.
The Eagles and Wolverines were meeting for the fourth time this season and the seventh time in two years, so there weren't any secrets left.
"They know us," said AE coach Butch Beckham, "and we know them. They were ready for us, and I think our kids were ready to tonight too.
"It was a good game; both teams played hard and played pretty well."
It was the most competitive of the teams' meetings this season, all of which AE won.
Unlike those other three, this one was in doubt until the final minute.
"We had a chance to win, which after losing to them three times was what I was hoping for," said AGS coach Gordie Ostrander. "We couldn't quite get all the way back. Eastern's really good, but I felt like we went down fighting and made them earn it."
Eastern looked like it had the game wrapped up as it built a 42-30 lead with two minutes to play.
A rebound basket by Adriane Swaffield, a 15-foot Kelsey Heinrich jumper and Emily Lutz's steal and two free throws cut the lead in half with 1:22 still to play.
The Eagles missed the front ends of two one-and-ones, but AuGres-Sims couldn't capitalize. On the first, Chelsea Dery knifed between a pair of Wolverines to snag an offensive rebound and on the second she forced a turnover under her own basket that led to two Danielle Jurek free throws with 45 seconds let that put the game out of reach.
"Chelsea and Briana were both pretty sick yesterday," Beckham said. "They didn't have much energy, but they made some pretty key plays, and we made some free throws down the stretch."
Briana Dery was the key to getting AE jump-started after the Wolverines opened the game on a roll. Tonie VanSickle, Heinrich and Tasha Trombley opened the game by hitting four straight shots that gave AGS an 8-1 lead. Briana Dery had a basket, then a steal and layup to cut the lead in half. Chelsea Dery hit back-to-back hoops to end the first quarter and lead off the second and give AE its first lead at 11-10.
"I don't know that we could have played much better than we did in the first quarter," Ostrander said, "and we were still even with them."
The Eagles opened up a 23-15 halftime lead, outscoring AGS 12-3 after Swaffield took a seat with her third foul and getting a number of second-chance points. Marcy Langstaff opened the third quarter hitting her first shots as AE opened up a 29-16, but Lutz led AGS back into the game as the Wolverines closed the third quarter on a 9-2 run.
"In hindsight, maybe we should have gone inside more," Ostrander said. "But in our other games we didn't have much success there. They're very tough inside, and their guards are pretty aggressive defensively."
A pair of Briana Dery steals-and-layups and a three-point play by Maddie Nelson opened up a 13-point lead for AE early in the fourth quarter.
"Marcy really stepped up big tonight," Beckham said of his lone senior. "She hit some big shots, and defensively she did a nice job on Emily and not letting her get around to the baseline as much as she wanted.
"This was a good win, but Fairview (Wednesday's championship opponent) is going to be tough."
Briana Dery led AE (17-3) with 14 points, with Chelsey Dery adding nine and Langstaff eight.
Lutz led AGS (12-9) with 13 and Swaffield and Trombley with seven each.
"The girls should be proud of their effort tonight," Ostrander said. "It would have been great to win, but if we're going to lose at least we played well against a good team. I hope they make a nice tournament run."
The Eagles, who have never won a district title, won their first district tournament game since defeating Hale in 1999. AE and Fairview (12-8), which have won 12 of its last 15 games, face off at 7 p.m. in Wednesday's title contest.
