Brett Favre's first game against his former team was all fun for the Minnesota Vikings and all frustration for Green Bay, as the graying quarterback connected for three touchdown passes and 271 yards in a 30-23 victory over the Packers on Monday.
Favre went 24 for 31, without a turnover. He did an awkward body bump with kicker Ryan Longwell, also a former Packer, and stayed poised in the pocket all night.
The Vikings (4-0) sacked Favre's replacement, Aaron Rodgers, eight times. Jared Allen was credited with 4.5 of them, a career high, including a safety in the fourth quarter that stretched the lead to 16. Rodgers had his first two turnovers of the season, and Favre turned both of them into vintage touchdown passes in the first half.
"Lot of fun. It was a big win for us," Favre said. "We did what we had to do."
Favre hugged Rodgers, Donald Driver and several other Packers once the game was over. Rodgers tried to engineer the kind of drive his predecessor is famous for, but he came up short.
Favre also had plenty of time to throw throughout the game.
Rodgers had the exact opposite experience. He finished 26 for 37 for a career-high 384 yards, many of them in desperation down the stretch, and two touchdown passes.
The Vikings were relentless in their rush, particularly Allen on left tackle Darryn Colledge, who left in the third quarter with a right knee injury. Colledge moved from left guard two weeks ago when Chad Clifton got hurt.
Rodgers' receivers let him down, too, though. On fourth-and-goal at the 1 in the third quarter, Rodgers found tight end Donald Lee open in the end zone. But the ball bounced off Lee's chest and onto the turf, as Rodgers snapped his head back with his hands on the sides of his helmet.
Pink wristbands, cleats and sideline caps for breast cancer awareness gave the game a different look, but nothing altered the color scheme as much as Favre in purple. This was his sixth game with Minnesota, counting the preseason, but the sight of the guy who led Green Bay to a Super Bowl trophy and took only one losing record in 16 years there, wearing the rival team's jersey was still strange.
This was a highly anticipated and heavily hyped game. Everybody in the stadium stood all the way through the Vikings' first possession, instead of sitting after the first few snaps like usual. Cameras flashed constantly.

This topic is about
ringworm of the scalp or beard. For information about other
fungal infections, see the topics:
is an infection on your skin, hair, or nails. It is caused by a
fungus. Ringworm of the scalp occurs in children and
adults all over the world. It is most common in young children. Ringworm of the
beard is not common.
Ringworm is not caused by a worm. Ringworm
infections are caused by a fungus. The kinds of fungi (plural of fungus) that
cause ringworm live and spread on the top layer of the skin and on the hair.
Ringworm is contagious. It spreads when you come into close
contact with a person or animal that has it. It can also spread when you share
hats, combs, brushes, towels, clothing, and other items. Children get ringworm
more often than adults.
If an adult gets ringworm, he or she will
most likely become a carrier of the ringworm fungus. Carriers can pass ringworm
on to others but do not have symptoms of the disease.
You can also
get ringworm by touching an infected dog or cat, although this form of ringworm
is rare.
Ringworm of the
scalp or
beard often looks like round, bald patches. Most
often, the infection spreads outward while the inside of the circle clears up.
This makes the infection look like a ring. The name "ringworm" comes from this
But ringworm of the scalp or beard doesn't always make a
ring pattern. Sometimes it just looks like dandruff. In some cases the hair
breaks off, leaving stubble that looks like black dots. Sometimes people get
ringworm but do not have any symptoms
In the most severe cases,
the infected area is swollen, red, crusty, and painful, with small bumps that
look like blisters.
Ringworm is contagious, meaning it can spread
from one person to another easily. If you or someone in your family has the
symptoms listed above, see your doctor.
If you have a ring-shaped rash, you very likely have ringworm. Your
doctor will be able to tell for sure. He or she will probably look at a hair or
skin sample under a microscope to check for the ringworm fungus. You may have
other tests. But most of the time, none are needed.
Your doctor will prescribe pills that will kill the fungus.
And you can use special shampoo to keep ringworm from spreading to
Ringworm can come back, so be sure to throw away your
combs and brushes and buy new ones that won't spread the infection. Try to keep
your skin clean and dry. Don't share hats, combs, or brushes. If you treat
ringworm early, the hair in the bald spots will probably grow back. If you
don't treat it, the bald spots could be permanent.
A child who has
ringworm can still go to school, as long as he or she is taking pills to kill
the fungus. You do not need to shave your child's head.
Learning about ringworm of the scalp or beard:
Being diagnosed:
Getting treatment:
Ringworm infection is caused by a
fungus. Fungi that cause
ringworm live and multiply on the upper layer of the
skin and on the hair. Ringworm is not caused by a worm
or other parasite.
The medical term for fungal infections is
tinea, followed by a word that describes the location of infection. For
example, tinea capitis is ringworm of the scalp, and tinea barbae is ringworm
of the beard.
Ringworm of the scalp is most commonly caused by
the fungus Trichophyton tonsurans, which is spread from
one person to another. This fungus causes more than 90 out of 100 cases of
ringworm of the scalp in North and Central America.1
In the past, the fungus Microsporum canis was the most
common cause, but it is a less frequent cause now. Microsporum canis is spread by cats and dogs.
Ringworm of the beard is
caused by Trichophyton verrucosum and is spread by
cattle, horses, or dogs.
You can catch ringworm by sharing
contaminated hats, combs, brushes, towels, telephones, clothing, sports
equipment, or even theater seats, and by direct contact with an infected
Children are more susceptible to the fungus and more
likely to get an infection than adults. Adults often do not get an
infection even after exposure to ringworm-causing fungi. Adults, and less
commonly children, can be carriers for ringworm. Carriers do not have symptoms of ringworm but can pass the infection on
to others.
Ringworm-causing fungi can live on people, objects (such as hats or
brushes), or animals for several months.
Most commonly,
ringworm appears as one or more round or oval patches
of baldness or scaly skin on the scalp or beard. Typically, the circular
patches spread along their outer borders while clearing at the center, which
gives them a ringed appearance and the name "ringworm." But you don't always
see this pattern.
Other patterns include:
Sometimes swollen lymph nodes and fever occur with ringworm
When fungal infections occur, other areas of skin may
have a delayed allergic reaction in the form of a rash that looks like
blisters, known as an "id" reaction. Id reactions from ringworm of the scalp
usually appear on the face.
Early diagnosis and treatment of
ringworm of the scalp or beard may stop the infection from becoming
uncomfortable and prevent scarring and permanent hair loss.
Ringworm can be confused with
other conditions with similar symptoms.
At first,
ringworm of the scalp or beard may look like dandruff
with flakes of dead skin on the hair or beard. There may be round or oval
patches of baldness. The skin under the hair or beard may be itchy, red, and
peeling. The infection can spread gradually and cover a large area.
As fungi invade the hair, the hair becomes infected, brittle, and breaks
off near the root, resulting in patches of baldness. If you treat ringworm
early, hair loss is usually temporary.
The scalp or the skin under
the beard may become very tender if swollen areas and bumps that look like
blisters or nodules with pus (kerions) develop. Skin blisters can become
Ringworm of the scalp or beard can cause scarring and
permanent hair loss.
Things that increase a person's risk for
ringworm include:
Call your doctor if you suspect
you have
ringworm of the scalp or beard, and:
Symptoms such as flakes of dead skin on the
scalp can be due to dandruff, which should go away in about 2 weeks if treated
with dandruff shampoos. But if the symptoms are due to ringworm of the scalp or
beard, you need to be treated with antifungal pills to completely destroy the
The following health professionals can
diagnose and treat ringworm of the scalp or beard:
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
Doctors can often easily recognize
ringworm when there is a distinct ringworm-patterned
rash. Your doctor will probably also look at a hair or skin sample (KOH
preparation) under a microscope to find out whether a fungus is
Tests used for ringworm of the scalp or beard
If someone in your family has ringworm of the
scalp or beard, talk to your doctor about whether other family members should
be examined. It is quite common for one family member to spread the fungus to
other family members.
Ringworm of the
scalp or beard is treated with antifungal pills in combination with antifungal
shampoo or lotion.
Topical antifungal medicines, such as shampoos
or lotions that you apply directly to the infected area, do not work when used
alone. They cannot get deep enough into the infected hair shaft to kill
fungi there. But antifungal shampoo helps prevent spreading the fungus to other
people, because it decreases fungal shedding from the scalp or beard area.
Doctors also recommend occasional use of antifungal shampoos for
ringworm carriers, people who can spread the fungus but do not have ringworm
symptoms. Often an adult becomes a carrier after exposure to an infected
A veterinarian can treat pets or farm animals for ringworm.

of the scalp or beard can cause scarring and permanent hair loss.
To prevent
ringworm of the scalp or beard:
You usually treat
ringworm of the scalp or beard with antifungal pills
prescribed by a doctor. Shampoos available without a prescription are helpful
if you use them along with prescription pills. But when they are used alone,
they cannot completely destroy all of the fungi causing the infection.
If you have ringworm of the scalp or beard:
You do not need to keep your child out of school if he or
she is taking pills to treat ringworm of the scalp. Although parents sometimes
use a special shampoo to help prevent the spread to other children, it is not
needed. And you do not need to shave your child's head.1
Antifungal medicine (pills or liquid) and
shampoo used together are most effective in curing
ringworm of the scalp and beard.
Depending on the medicine, antifungal pills are taken for as few as 4
weeks or as long as 12 weeks.
Antifungal shampoo is not effective
when used alone to treat ringworm of the scalp or beard, because it cannot
penetrate into infected hairs and destroy the fungi present there.
Sometimes other infections occur when a person has ringworm, usually
because bacteria have entered the body through the ringworm sores or rash. If
needed, you can use other medicines, such as
antibiotics, along with antifungals to treat these
secondary bacterial infections.
Swollen areas and bumps that look
like blisters and have pus (kerions) are caused by an allergic reaction to
fungus. You can treat kerions with a combination of oral antifungal medicine
and a
corticosteroid (usually oral), such as
To help prevent ringworm from developing after
exposure to the fungus, you can use antifungal shampoo every 2 days for about a
The most common antifungals you can use to treat ringworm
of the scalp or beard include:
Antifungal shampoos are available by prescription and as over-the-counter products. Both kinds may contain active ingredients like ketoconazole or selenium sulfide. Prescription shampoos often contain a larger amount of these medicines, or they may contain povidone.
People who are taking antifungal pills should have a doctor monitor their blood counts and liver and kidney function
during treatment to watch for any adverse side effects.

Astronomers have found the faintest galaxy yet seen in the deep, distant reaches of space, an object whose light has taken 13 billion years to reach us.
The tiny galaxy, which existed about 800 million years after the Big Bang created the universe, is among the top 10 most distant objects known.
"This image is like a baby picture of this galaxy, taken when the universe was only 5 percent of its current age," Arizona State University astronomer James Rhoads said in a statement. "Studying these very early galaxies is important because it helps us understand how galaxies form and grow."
Rhoads and his colleagues used the IMACS instrument on the Magellan Telescopes at the Carnegie Institution's Las Campanas Observatory in Chile to image the galaxy. They applied a special filter that restricted the light coming in to the telescope to a narrow range of infrared wavelengths, allowing them to block out all but the most distant, faint objects.
"We have been using this technique since 1998 and pushing it to ever-greater distances and sensitivities in our search for the first galaxies at the edge of the universe," said Arizona State University's Sangeeta Malhotra.

The faint galaxy is designated LAEJ095950.99+021219.1, and has a redshift of 7. Astronomers use redshift to denote distance, because the farther away something is, the more its light has been shifted toward the red range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Scientists have seen only a handful of galaxies with redshifts of 7, and none of those have been as dim the newfound galaxy.
"With this search, we've not only found one of the furthest galaxies known, but also the faintest confirmed at that distance," Malhotra said. "Up to now, the redshift 7 galaxies we know about are literally the top 1 percent of galaxies. What we're doing here is to start examining some of the fainter ones – things that may better represent the other 99 percent."
The researchers report their discovery in the June 1 issue of The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

The Sand Lake Civilian Conservation Corps camp, under the direction of Phil DuMont, created the largest waterfowl refuge in South Dakota, according to the Morning American newspaper in Aberdeen, achieving an enviable record both in work accomplished and in the education and professional training for the boys.
DuMont achieved another enviable record, too. During a single year as manager of Sand Lake National Wildlife Refuge, he banded 16,453 birds of
93 species, a nearrecord high in North America.
DuMont was with the National Wildlife Refuge System from 1935 until 1972, working side by side with J. N. Ding Darling, Ira Gabrielson and J. Clark Salyer. In fact, he was hired by Darling to identify potential wildlife areas for protection in Iowa, later becoming a biologist at Malheur Refuge in Oregon and then manager of Sand Lake Refuge, where he made his mark banding birds. He once told the Aberdeen Lions Club that the Dakota pothole was the best nesting area in the nation, while the cow was the greatest natural menace to wildlife through its grazing habits.
DuMonts fieldwork took him to all 50 states, Mexico, several South American countries, Europe and East Africa. Before coming to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, DuMont spent 16 months studying and collecting in Madagascar for the American Museum of Natural History. He was also one of the first biologists to research albatrossairplane collisions on Midway Island. His extensive research on ornithology and conservation was donated to the University of Iowa, but his son recognized the value of DuMonts archives to the Service and donated information related to his Refuge System career to the National Conservation Training Center.
The collection included the original 1902 survey of Floridas Pelican Island, prepared for the Committee for the Protection of North American Birds of the American Ornithologists Union, of which DuMont was a member. The committee, however, did not file that original survey with the General Land Office because it would have immediately opened the land to homesteaders. Instead, an official surveymarking a slightly larger areawas not completed until after the island had been declared a bird reservation by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903.
DuMont was born in Minnesota and raised mostly in Iowa. He was 93 years old when he died in 1996.

Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie argued Sunday that a New York Times report revealing that Donald Trump might have avoided paying taxes for 18 years shows the Republican candidate is a "genius" and uniquely qualified to overhaul the federal tax code, NBC News reported.
"There's no one who has shown more genius in their way to maneuver around the tax code and to rightfully use the laws to do that," Christie, a close Trump advisor, said on "Fox News Sunday.
Christie noted that Trump's use of tax provisions to minimize what he pays in federal income taxes shows "what an absolute mess the federal tax code is and that's why Donald Trump is the person best positioned to fix it."
His comments echoed those of fellow Trump adviser Giuliani, who said "the reality is he's a genius" on "Meet the Press" Sunday morning.
But Trump's former accountant, Jack Mitnick, indicated in his interview with the Times that the businessman "lacked a sophisticated understanding of the tax code" and "rarely showed any interest in the details behind various tax strategies." But, "he clearly grasped the critical role taxes would play in helping him build wealth."

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Chris Rusiewicz era at Guilford College started with a convincing 27-7 football win at Greensboro College in the 15th annual Gate City Soup Bowl Saturday at Jamieson Stadium.
The rookie head coach picked up a Gatorade shower and his first coaching victory as his Quakers rolled up 483 total offensive yards and held the Pride to 126 yards. Guilford controlled both lines of scrimmage and enjoyed over a 15-minute edge in time of possession.
Guilford also won the canned-food drive between the cross-town rivals. The schools combined to donate 9,774 items to Greensboro Urban Ministry. Guilford students collected 6,398 cans, including over 1,100 from the Quakers' football team alone.
Redshirt-junior Ben King had 10 catches for 187 yards and two scores, which earned him the Quakers' Soup Bowl Most Valuable Player honor for the second straight season. His 69-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown in the second quarter gave Guilford a 14-0 halftime lead. King hauled in his second score from sophomore Zac Halbert in the third quarter, a 41-yard screen pass that he carried through at least three Greensboro defenders.
Halbert completed 21-of-37 passes for 298 yards and three scores, all career highs, in his starting debut. His fine pump fake freed up Lawrence Blake for a 40-yard scoring play that opened a 27-0 third-quarter edge.
Guilford's defense kept Greensboro off the scoreboard until Kwame Petty broke through for a 32-yard run with 68 seconds left. The play helped the Pride finish with 43 team rushing yards on 20 attempts. The Quakers did not allow their rivals a successful third-down conversion in 12 attempts.
By contrast, Guilford moved the ball effectively on the ground, with the tailback tandem of Josh Williams and Bailey Crego combining for 121 rushing yards and a score. Williams picked up 58 yards and scored the game's first touchdown, a two-yard run in the second quarter. Crego averaged over five yards per carry with 63 yards on 12 totes.
The victory gives Guilford possession of the Soup Bowl trophy for the first time since 2008 and an 8-7 lead in the all-time season series between Greensboro's two NCAA Division III football teams.
Allen Stallings made a game-high nine tackles and was Greensboro's game MVP.

FasTracks changes: communities not pleased
In November of 2004 Colorado voters approved FasTracks at a price tag of 4.7 billion dollars. We approved this because we believe in smart transportation and in the mission of our Regional Transportation District. However, I am concerned about RTD's process in implementing FasTracks. I am concerned that the implementation is not compatible with what we approved in 2004. RTD is paying Union Pacific Rail Road to relocate its yards to the Brighton and Fort Lupton region.
The communities of Brighton, Henderson, and Commerce City are already crippled by UPRR trains. How can RTD encourage this relocation? Doesn't this directly conflict with RTD's mission in serving our transportation needs? Is this what we voted for? Did we in actuality vote to pay for UPRR's relocation so that we would be further immobilized? Is RTD overseeing the use of these funds in a manner consistent with the vote placed before us in 2004?
UPRR for over twenty years has considered moving to Aurora. That area is specifically being designed to accommodate UPRR: about 6 miles from Interstate 70 as well as E-470, convenient to Denver International Airport, Front Range Airport, and tailoring itself to meet the needs of the federally funded Ports to Planes project. This project is NAFTA based and its purpose being to transport truck freight out of Mexico into the United States and Canada. The federal funds will "beef up" four to five of our major highways including Interstate 70.
Additionally, the relocation of UPRR to Aurora would be "a major economic investment in Colorado", said Tom Norton, the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Transportation. The CDOT study found that $2.3 billion in direct economic benefits to the Front Range included $332 million in reduced auto and truck travel delays at railroad crossings as well as 6,000 new jobs. Shouldn't RTD reallocate the $140 million given to UPRR? Especially as FasTracks is $1 billion over budget and RTD another $1 billion deficit in revenue.
Doesn't RTD have an obligation to make sure our money which we earmarked for smart transportation goes to serve that purpose? RTD, if UPRR relocates to our cities, we will be so transportationally crippled that we will not have reliable access to FasTracks, our hospitals, our schools, and our jobs. If more money is needed for FasTracks, as I believe it will be, we will not be able to help and why should we?
I believe in RTD and am appealing to its board members to make sure our money is spent responsibly. As a teenager, I ran to catch RTD buses from Wheat Ridge to North Denver. I remember how anxiously I awaited the great heaters in the bus on cold winter days. I remember tokens and transfers and the welcoming smiles from the drivers and the occasional " wake up — its the end of the line nudge."
I remember RTD. I believe in RTD. I pay for RTD. Board members of RTD, here is a friendly "wake up nudge" as for the citizens along the Highway 85 corridor, Union Pacific Rail Road is kicking us off the bus.
Let us not believe that the hierarchy in this country is: Rail Road, Ditch Companies, and then God. Let us not be a country oppressed under one rail road with liberal stock dividends for some. RTD, time is crucial for us. Please give Union Pacific Rail Road a transfer east during peak hours.

Subscribe To New Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 Trailer Shows Vampires In Action Updates
I've already subscribed
If you were watching the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards tonight, you caught the appearance of Robert Pattinson and some of the other Twilight cast members, who took the stage to introduce this new trailer for the final installment in The Twilight Saga. Check out the trailers ahead and see a lot of vampires prepping for a fight.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 closes the book on the feature adaptations of Stephenie Meyer's vampire series, and follows Bella as she adjusts to being a vampire and a mother. Bella and Edward's honeymoon is over, and there's danger ahead once the Volturi learn of their daughter Renesmee's existence. The Cullens must rally support to protect the child. And we see some of that in the new trailer, along with what could be an actual battle between two sets of vampires (and a few werewolves).
The video below runs for close to a minute and a half, and while it includes a few moments that were previously featured in other released trailers, there are some new glimpses of the movie in here.
Vague references to the end of the book below!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like there's a lot more running and fighting (or grabbing and kicking anyway) than I remember from the book. That last moment, where Edward swings Bella around to fight the hooded figure nearby was definitely an add-in. We did hear that the ending had been changed from the book to the movie. Should we be expecting a real Volturi vs. Cullens (& friends) battle?
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 arrives in theaters November 16. More information, photos and videos can be found in our Blend Film Database.

Our goal is to produce Squirrel Dogs. We refuse to run a puppy mill and have NO brood females. If it won't tree...we don't breed it or keep it!
We are very blessed to have the type of high quality dogs that can prove themselves in the woods and also reproduce their likeness. We believe that we have nice reproducers offered at stud to the public. We breed for squirrel dogs.
If we don't have what you are looking for then I will be more than willing to point you in the direction of someone that raises high quality squirrel dogs, will treat you right and be honest with you.

Being as this is February 29, 2012, I decided that it would be an appropriate reader appreciation day (a really arbitrary decision). Thanks to all those of you out there who have put up with my rambling style of commentary and my bad jokes (mostly too obscure for anyone to detect). I have seen a steady and dramatic increase in readership especially over the past year. To give you an idea of how Genealogy's Star is fairing out in the wild jungle of the Internet, here are a few statistics for whatever they are worth (not a whole lot, I presume). This blog post is beginning to remind me of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
On Alexa, (the link probably won't work) Genealogy's Star enjoys a rank today of 73,217 in the U.S. which means absolutely nothing to me but it sounds impressive. Hmm, lets see, the definitely mommy blog posted by

Team U.S.A.'s bid to cap its dominant Olympic performance with a gold medal in men's hockey fell short when Canada pulled off a dramatic overtime victory Sunday.
The U.S. trailed the entire game until Zack Parise of the New Jersey Devils found the back of the net as the final seconds of regulation ticked away. But in the overtime, Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburg Penguins scored at 7:04 to end the game and Team U.S.A.'s hopes of reprising the 1980 Miracle on Ice.
"It's not what we wanted, but I think we gained a lot of respect," said Team U.S.A. goalie Ryan Miller, who plays for the Buffalo Sabres and was named MVP of the tournament. "Our guys came here as an afterthought to a lot of people and we just started a new trend with U.S.A. hockey."
The silver medal gave America a record 37 medals for the Vancouver games. Team America won its ninth gold medal Saturday in the four-man bobsled, ending more than a half-century drought for Americans in the event.
Sunday saw competition come to a close in men's cross-country, with Norway's Petter Northug taking home the gold in the Men's 50km, followed by Germany's Axel Teichmann and Johan Olsson of Sweden. American James Southam finished in 28th place with a time of 2:10:08.3, while his teammate Kris Freeman did not finish the race.
The Vancouver Olympics will end in traditional fashion, with a Closing Ceremonies that is expected to be filled with theatrics and a delegation of Canadian and international stars alike. American Nordic Combined skier Billy Demong will carry the flag for the U.S. at the ceremonies, an honor that came after Demong became the first American to win gold in the men's large hill event at the Games.
The Ceremonies will air Sunday night after competition has concluded. All in all, the Games dominated TV ratings, finishing well ahead of the 2006 Torino Games.

EDITORIAL NOTE: This guest blog was written by Ellen Miller and Elaine Giessel, members of the Natural Resource Committee of the League of Women Voters of Johnson County, Kansas.
In our bright red League of Women Voters shirts and front-row seats, we came out in force!
The over 400 attendees of the Environmental Protection Agency's listening session on carbon pollution from existing power plants saw how much the League of Women Voters of Johnson County, Kansas (LWVJC) cares about clean air. The meeting, held at EPA Region 7 Headquarters in Lenexa, KS, was one of 11 sessions across the country. Karl Brooks, our region's administrator, presided over the well-organized session. There was a slight 20-minute delay getting started due to the large crowd, with overflow rooms quickly filling up, which only added to the room's buzz and decibel level.
The Johsnon County League was happy to be one of the many Leagues to comment on this important regulation. LWVUS has a long record of supporting the life saving measures that this regulation will address for future generations as well as for the environment. On behalf of the Johnson County League, Ellen Miller started her testimony by referring to LWVUS national president Elisabeth MacNamara's statement that, "Reducing the amount of carbon pollution from power plants is a life-saving measure that will protect our children, our nation and the world from the devastating effects of climate change."
The Johnson County League was able to provide a unique, local voice to this listening session, by focusing on the public health risks in our own county. Using the American Lung Association's State of the Air website, we outlined some of the statistics that affect the "Groups at Risk:" of the nearly 553,000 residents of Johnson County. The health risks facing these groups include:
- Pediatric asthma – over 11,000
- Adult asthma – just shy of 36,000
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease – over 26,000
Additionally, a child's lungs are not fully developed until adulthood and infants have only 20 percent of their tiny air sacs developed. Noting that both water quality and agricultural chemicals have been highly regulated by the federal government for decades, she urged immediate installation of the first-ever carbon emissions standard that would protect public health and address the cause of climate change.
A rally of more than 50 supporters of carbon standards was held in advance of the listening session. Many other groups testified in favor of carbon emission standards on existing facilities, including numerous Sierra Club representatives, as well as Audubon Society members, Iowa's green efficiency program, the Missouri Power Plant Alliance, a state legislator, the Sustainability Sanctuary Group and the Kansas Municipal League. A small number of construction union members and local industry representatives testified against additional regulations. A few individuals also expressed concern about rising energy costs.
Citizens in support of carbon pollution standards far outnumbered those who opposed regulation of emissions. It is clear that the informed public is worried about the public health and global climate change issues associated with rising carbon levels.
If the same level of concern was expressed at listening sessions around the country, then the EPA should have little reason to delay developing and implementing carbon emission standards on both new and existing facilities.
The listening session we attended was just a preliminary session for public input into the process of creating appropriate regulations. Based on these sessions, there will be additional opportunities in the next year to provide comments on proposed rules. To have your voice heard now, contact the EPA in support of the proposed carbon standards.
The League of Women Voters of Johnson County, Kansas was one of many Leagues that testified at the EPA listening sessions on carbon regulations. League members attended each of the 11 sessions. The League of Women Voters of the United States testified at the Washington, DC session.

Topics for Government Documents Blogs
While I haven't done a careful content analysis, it is my sense that most government documents blogs are ones of the "Documents in the News" variety. This is a good thing. It is a service that some libraries should maintain as journalism seems to continue its downward spiral.
But I think that instead of all or most of us focusing on "Documents in the News" type blog stories, we could be using our blogs to surface rather interesting content that news organizations may never pick up on.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- An agency by agency tour of their FOIA pages/e-FOIA rooms.
- A tour of Privacy Act Issuances - What is the government collecting and why?
- Highlight some datasets or tools from data.gov
- A tour of agency photo collections.
- Highlight a government blog.
- Highlight a government comic book.
- Highlight a favorite government widget. Rebecca Blakeley has blogged about this, but there is plenty of room.
- Write quick tutorials on using OpenCongress.org and other mashups to track government.
- Open up your CIS indexes and find an older hearing or non-digitized congressional document relating to your state or a famous person. Over the years many actors and artists have testified before Congress.
If you have or planned to blog in some of these areas, would you post links to your blog entry(ies) here? Or put down some more topics you think could stand better coverage.

Film fest, music kick off Dew Tour entertainment in Breckenridge
summit daily news
Along with competitions showcasing the world's best skiers and snowboarders, this year's Dew Tour features live music performances, an inaugural Dew Tour film night, kicking off today, and a host of activities in town.
"Recognize: A Night of Industry Film Awards" acknowledges the contribution of films to the ski and snowboard industry. Taking place from 7-9 p.m. at the Riverwalk Center, the night will feature clips from the most relevant and breakthrough movies of the year and the participation of directors, producers and athletes who will comment live on their productions.
Gold Pan Saloon hosts a kickoff party tonight at 8 for Swany Gloves, one of Dew Tour iON Mountain Championships' sponsors. Prizes, glove giveaways, a Swany VIP room and appearances by athletes like local Zack Black and Norway-native Kjersti Buaas, will be some of the night's attractions.
Entertainment at the Gold Pan consists of a live performance by musician and environmentalist Todd Anders Johnson at 9:30 p.m and a multimedia projection show with ski and snowboard films, produced by the Risan Project. The Risan Project is an organization that produces solar-powered events, film premieres and presentations to raise awareness about climate change.
Tonight at three20south, witness the Austin-based producer/composer Govinda, the alter ego of Shane Madden. According to the artist, his name came from a meditation experience when people chanted Hari Govinda and he had an epiphany that he was meant to bring music to the world to expand consciousness.
Govinda's sound is a combination of live electronics and gypsy violin, resulting from the musician's experience as a violin student since the age of 8 and his enchantment with electronic music production during his years studying classic violin at the University of Texas. He describes his sound as "gypsy violin with ambient, sexy textures and postmodern mid-tempo beats." His resume includes live performances at festivals such as Coachella and South by Southwest and playing with groups like Thievery Corporation.
Sharing the stage with Govinda is Brooklyn, N.Y., guitarist and producer D.V.S* (Derek VanScoten), who will play a cross between rock and electronica. "I'm always looking to create a sweaty, intelligent dance floor," he said. D.V.S* defines his music as "lots of sexy electronic dance styles based around my live guitar playing. … I'd say Hendrix mixed with Bonobo high on Red Bull."
Doors open at 9 p.m. and tickets are $10.

The shouts of individuals who experience the ill effects of growth is mind blowing. The open deliberation in Australia as in numerous different countries is should willful extermination be permitted? The privilege to bite the dust is something that touches all of us somehow. Presently the legislators are beginning to come around to the way that we can put creatures out of their hopelessness however not people. At the point when demise is unavoidable and individuals shout to God for help isn't it time that alleviation came their direction.
Viewing my grandma and now my sister bite the dust of the treacherous sickness has abandoned me worried to help other people. We are just enabling these individuals to endure on the grounds that we as relatives can't stand to lose them, however isn't that childishness on our part. Nobody is recommending they be killed without wanting to yet definitely presence of mind must win.
Following my resurrection and with a solid connect to the Spirit of the Universe, which authorized me to tear down the mass of visual impairment, my view on life is distinctive to many. It enables me to realize that all who have lived are back for judgment as we are in the most recent days. Malignancy is something that is utilized to rebuff the individuals who have betrayed their most profound sense of being and are wallowing in the never-never universe of pretend.
That is conceivably why there is hesitance to murder the individuals who endure. It's barbarous and it's a horrendous method to bite the dust however it is in God's judgment and the inquiry is would it be advisable for anyone to meddle?

IT pro or manager? Go East, young man. But don't expect servants
Plenty of scope, but cushy ex-pat days are done
Fruits of the Empire
English is the only language that is necessary for Hong Kong IT pros (though most locals speak Cantonese), but if you're heading for the mainland, you'd better brush up on your Mandarin. Pic credit: Dieter Vander Velpen
"It's very hard to move over here at that level if you're changing companies," he added. "You might have the management and technical skills but do you have the Chinese skills and do you understand the culture of the company?"
Over in Singapore and HK there are not the same language imperatives, although it can still be tricky to pick up a job if an internal transfer is not an option, according to Michael Page MD for SE Asia, Andrew Norton.
"Realistically, most western ex-pats who find IT roles in Singapore follow one of two routes. Either they transfer internally within their own company or they relocate to Singapore first then find a role once settled here," he told The Reg.
"There is reluctance within the market to hire candidates who have no ties to Singapore or are not currently settled here. For certain niche roles, where particular skill sets are lacking in Singapore or the region, they do consider relocating international candidates."
Norton added that the days of the lucrative ex-pat relocation package are over, with salaries typically lower than in the UK, though take-home pay will be on a par, given the generally lower local tax rates.
Despite this, though, IT pros can expect healthy annual salary increases of 10 to 15 per cent on average in China and 3 to 6 per cent in Hong Kong this year, not taking into account inflation or promotions, according to Michael Page's estimates.
The Hong Kong-based CIO of China Construction Bank, Michael Leung, told The Register that he is definitely employing fewer ex-pats than he may have done five years ago, given the strong numbers of local candidates coming through.
He mentioned several key trends which IT managers need to consider in the Special Administrative Region (SAR) in order to make themselves as employable as possible.
The first is localisation – software and systems bought in from the west need to be localised for regulatory and cultural reasons, especially in the banking sector.
The second, chiming with what Michael Page's northern and eastern China MD said, is that there is a huge appetite from mainland Chinese firms to internationalise and for this they need people with English language skills and experience of working in non-Chinese markets to help them globalise their services.
Leung also pointed to Hong Kong as a region which increasingly is seeking to differentiate itself from every other Chinese city by becoming a multimedia/infotainment centre.
"How can Hong Kong differentiate itself – because speaking English is not enough?" he said. "Hong Kong can do content in any shape or form: this is differentiation riding on the back of our different political system."
Leung was at pains to point out that, in senior roles at least, English is the only language that is necessary for Hong Kong IT pros, being the lingua franca of business in the ex-British colony.
The same appears true in Singapore, although experts warned that some local language skills can help overcome any cultural barriers which may impede progress in the role.
"It is essential to thoroughly review all job descriptions to ensure individual skill sets are matched to potential roles," said Michael Page's SE Asia MD.
"Communicating internally with colleagues as well as with external clients can be challenging in Asia, and additional local language skills are definitely an advantage," said Norton.
The bigger picture
Robert Half international's Asian MD, Tim Hird, was also keen to stress that IT pros looking for some adventure in southeast Asia really need to think about the bigger picture, such as their quality of life in the prospective new land, how good the schools are, and if there are visa restrictions for spouses.
"Even if relocating is a smart move professionally, you should also consider if it is right for you personally. Does relocating come at a good time for you and your family? Are family members going to enjoy the new location, or will they resent losing friends, changing schools or having to find new employment? Can you afford the move and the cost of living in the new location?" he asked.
"Employees also need to work at familiarising or preparing themselves for a different working culture in a new market. For example, they should research and read up on the rules and regulations of the specific market they want to move into. They also need to demonstrate the ability to transfer existing IT technical and business skill sets and experiences across different markets."
However, for those that do want to take the plunge, the experience can offer much more than a few stories to tell down the pub and a bucketful of cash.
"Gaining invaluable experience working in the global marketplace will hold an employee in good stead in his or her long-term career progression and when they return to their country," said Hird. ®

We Are Wisconsin
Meet the people making history in Wisconsin.
We Are Wisconsin from Finn Ryan on Vimeo.
What convinces tens of thousands of people—including those whose rights aren't directly on the line—to take to the streets and to occupy their state capitol around the clock? What's it like to be in such a gathering? In this beautiful video, filmmakers Finn Ryan and David Nevala introduce you to the people of Wisconsin.
- "I love my job, I want to be with my students, but I'm also here for the future of Wisconsin. I'm a single mom. If this bill passes, I will lose my house [...] It's a large percentage of my take-home pay. I started crying in the grocery store because I have the money now, but I won't very soon."
- "We're grateful that firefighters were exempt from this bill. however, we still collectively bargain and the basic principle of the union is that we stand together—and that's what we're here to do."
- "I've seen nothing but peace, I've seen nothing but people getting along—responsible adults, people that are friends, that are family. I hear people making this out to be something that's angry, violent. And I've seen none of that. As a police officer [on duty at the capitol] and as a citizen walking out here, I've seen none of that."

Story highlights
- Kat Kinsman learned to love her big nose, but didn't always feel that way.
- As a kid, her "friends" taunted her because of her looks.
- Deciding she was ugly "freed" her to pursue other interests.
- Later on, she accepted her nose was part of what makes her unique, loveable -- and beautiful.
I have a big nose. If you feel like being euphemistic about it, you could call it "prominent" or "distinctive." On the slightly more complimentary side of that, "striking" or "exotic" are options. If cruelty or comedy are your aim, hurl "schnozz", "honker" or "beak."
None of these words will change its size, curvature, placement or the fact that I greatly enjoy seeing it right there, jutting out from the center of my face.
This was not always the case.
Lately, a school of thought has sprung up, centered around the notion that people should reconsider how they talk to young girls. On the surface, it's a fantastic, empowering thing, positing that young females are too frequently complimented on how pretty they are, rather than the things that count, like intelligence, creativity and self-reliance. I was never imperiled on that front. Not even close.
With a boyish bowl haircut and an outsized nose as the prow of my moon-pale face, I did not sail easily through the rites of womanhood. I was ugly and was told so, both in words and by omission. I remain unsure which was worse: being directly informed of my unattractiveness, or simply never being told I was the least bit lovely. Sure, it's all skin deep, but it can sink in and leave a scar.
The worst offender on the insult front was a girl we'll call "Elle." She was my best friend in that conflicted and wicked way that only junior high girls understand. One minute, she'd be saying how much she treasured our friendship, how she wished she got grades like mine or that people thought she was as nice as me.
The next she'd be telling me, in front of a crowd, that I was crazy for thinking a boy I thought was cute would ever like me back. Not when there were pretty girls still alive on the planet. Elle wasn't racking up the modeling contracts either, but at least she didn't have an axe handle bisecting her face.
She always said later that she was sorry. She must have said it four or five dozen times after the night she and another friend of ours, on a school field trip far from home, took turns holding me on the floor of a Chicago hotel room while the other circled, pointing out all my flaws, then swooping in to flick me, slap me, harm me.
They planned this for me as punishment for having made the cheerleading squad while Elle didn't and winning the local spelling bee. Elle's mother told her that she should be more like me, and I paid the price. They said it was for my own good, toughening me up for our new high school.
My nose got the worst of it -- pinched and honked over and over to a chorus of "ugly", "hideous", "witch." They knew I'd never tell anyone, and I didn't. I might be a twisted little goblin, too hideous to love, but at least I wasn't a tattletale.
Something in me fractured that night, and as it shifted, another part freed. There was no way I'd ever be beautiful -- so I didn't have to try.
It's astonishing how liberating that felt. I could focus on the things that brought me some measure of happiness while I was plotting my escape from my small town. I painted, I edited the yearbook, I wrote horrible angsty poems, I made weird and delightful friends and talked to boys like they were actual human beings, because I knew there was no chance they'd think such a funny looking girl was flirting with them.
And oh, was I funny looking. I made certain of that; freakishness provides excellent camouflage. If you've violently and vividly taken a detour from the lockstep of the beauty parade, no one can fault you for not being in uniform. While other girls -- even my friends (I'd freed myself of Elle and her minion midway through high school) -- fussed over tanning beds, Sun-In and their crushes, I cheered them on, spoke to the boys on their behalf, and pulled my purple-tinted hair over my Goth-painted face so the world was spared the insult of seeing it. It was lonely, knowing bone deep that I was undeserving of love, but I could root for others' romance from the sidelines, and that felt almost as good.
In the first few weeks of art school, I ceased to hide, stuck a ring through my right nostril, dyed my hair the most shocking shades I could find on the shelves and was surprised as a person could be when a boy said he loved me. It flamed hard and burned out quickly, and I assumed he'd just been kindly enough to overlook my obvious facial deformities -- though he surely seemed to spend a lot of time painting pictures of the rest of me.
And then it happened again. Only this time it was different. I looked across the diner table to see my new boyfriend Jon and our friend Helen staring at me rather intently. I instinctively grabbed a napkin to blot my lipstick, and yanked my flaming crimson hair down over my face. "What?"
Helen nodded contemplatively. "It's your nose. Definitely your nose."
Jon agreed. "Yep. Definitely."
The grilled cheese sandwich I'd been enjoying suddenly threatened to reappear on the table. I could not take this. Not from the two of them, who I'd started to find essential in my world. "My nose...what?!"
"It's the thing that makes you beautiful. Like, it doesn't look like anyone else's. It's the thing that makes you look like you." Helen went back to chewing her fries.
"Yep," Jon said. He returned to Helen's fries, and I quietly imploded inside.
In an ideal world, none of us should have to buttress our sense of self worth with statements from other people. In that world, we'd also have eco-friendly jetpacks and free puppy-petting stations on every street corner. But the fact is that they do matter -- the words said, as well as those that aren't. That single off-handed remark from a couple of people I loved helped me start to feel OK about my face. My nose: the thing that I'd cursed and mourned -- and yet somehow never considered shaving down, was the thing that makes me...me. Which was an apparently not entirely hideous thing to be.
Some years later, I ran into Elle. It was our 10-year high school reunion, and I'd heard she might be manning the door. I'd also heard some other things. When I walked in, she gasped.
"Youlookbeautiful!" she said in a rush. My heart was pounding from the shock of seeing her, but I did my best to remain composed.
"Thank you. You do, too." And whether or not I meant it, I think she needed to hear it. Elle had gotten a nose job, and for what I could tell, a breast augmentation, too.
I excused myself after a moment or two of polite catch-up and wandered to the bathroom, where I stared at my face for a minute or so. It looked the same as it always had, but something inside had shifted into place. For good.
I'll turn 40 in just a few months, and it feels odd to say, but I love my face more now than I ever have. If anything, it's stranger looking than before -- more angled and lined and harsh in certain lights. But I don't hide it anymore. I put it on live television once a week and use it to address large groups of people at conferences and kiss my husband with it and stick pictures of it on the Internet and refuse to spend a second more apologizing for it. Why? Because it's the only one I'll ever have, and it's what makes me unique in all the world. And that's as plain as the nose on my face.

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezey lunches - Chicken Tortilla Soup leftovers x2
Ethan and Paige took identical lunches to school (that's certainly not something you see every day!). Um, at least Paige's Thermos was pink? And the stainless steel is gray. Right?
They both had homemade Chicken Tortilla Soup, (leftover from last night's dinner) packed in Thermos FunTainer Jars.
On the side they each had shredded mexican cheese and tortilla chips packed in a Lunchbots Pico box.
These were packed in EasyLunchboxes thermal tote for the day. Besides the Thermos Food Jars and the Lunchbots of chips & cheese, they also each had milk in a Thermos FunTainer drink bottle. Although these are all bulky items, they all fit nicely in the EasyLunchboxes tote. Before zipping up the totes I wrapped each Thermos food jar in a clean dish towel to help insulate the heat. At first I was only going to do this for Ethan's, as he was really concerned that it wouldn't be warm enough by lunchtime. But then I decided to do it for Paige's too since since she's a super messy eater and having a towel on hand for soup didn't sound like a bad idea. ;-)
Supplies used to pack these lunches:

I haven't posted this recipe. I think I might though, because while I don't consider myself to possess any special cooking skills, I DO make the best Chicken Tortilla Soup I have ever tasted. :D

Huachipato's Chilean championship stands out from the crowd in a stats review dominated by star goalscorers from Colombia, Egypt, England and, of course, Argentina.
Premier League goals was the landmark reached by Wayne Rooney as he became his club's all-time leading marksman in Manchester derbies. The England forward's two first-half goals were his ninth and tenth in the fixture, taking him beyond Bobby Charlton's United benchmark and alongside City legends Franny Lee and Joe Hayes, with whom he now shares the overall record. At 27 years and 46 days old, Rooney reached the 150-mark at a younger age than any of the previous five players to manage this feat: Thierry Henry (28-150), Alan Shearer (28-247), Robbie Fowler (29-325), Andy Cole (31-060) and Frank Lampard (33-294). His goals also inflicted City's first home defeat in 37 matches, a run that stretched back almost two years to a 2-1 loss to Everton on 20 December 2010.
strikes for club and country in 2012 have enabled Lionel Messi to smash Gerd Muller's four-decade-old record for goals scored in a calendar year. Der Bomber can still take pride in having accrued his tally of 85 in fewer matches – 60 to Messi's 66 – but the Barcelona and Argentina icon's achievement is nonetheless nothing short of magnificent. His goals have been scored over 5,405 minutes of action, meaning that he has averaged a goal every 63 minutes across the year. Furthermore, as the record drew nearer, Messi merely picked up the pace, scoring two goals in each of his last five La Liga appearances. And Muller's 1972 haul was not the only benchmark surpassed by the Barça No10's latest brace against Real Betis, with Cesar Rodriguez's club record of 190 league goals eclipsed by a player who now has 192 to his name.
years without a league title was the run that came to an end for Chile's Huachipato on Sunday. It was, though, the circumstances of the Talcahuano outfit's second championship success that made it more remarkable than the wait. They prevailed over Union Espanola in the second leg of the Clausura final, but only after a tense penalty shoot-out in which seven of the 12 spot-kicks were missed. Unusual too was the fact that the sides battling for the title had finished sixth and seventh respectively in the regular stage of the Clausura season, eight points adrift of leading duo Colo Colo and Universidad de Chile.
goals in 43 minutes against Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday saw Radamel Falcao set a new career personal best. His previous record for goals in a single match had been set on 28 April 2011, when he scored four times for Porto in a 5-1 win over Villarreal. The prolific Colombian also became the first player to mark a La Liga match with five goals since Fernando Morientes for Real Madrid against Las Palmas on 10 February 2002. The best managed by the Spanish top flight's other scoring machines, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, is four, while the league record is held by Bata and Ladislao Kubala, who scored seven times in matches in 1931 and 1952 respectively.
goal every two matches: that is what Mohamed Aboutrika has averaged over a joint-record tally of eight FIFA Club World Cup appearances. Only Al Ahly team-mates Hossam Ashour and Wael Gomaa – at 37, the oldest player at Japan 2012 – have turned out at the club showpiece as often, and neither can match Aboutrika's goalscoring exploits. Indeed, by scoring the winner against Sanfrecce Hiroshima on Sunday, six years after he finished top scorer at the 2006 edition, the 34-year-old became just the fifth player to score in multiple FIFA Club World Cups. And of that quintet, only a certain Lionel Messi can match Aboutrika's tally of four goals.
