Webster County supervisors grant buyout payment request
The Webster County Board of Supervisors approved a payment request for a property involved in the Community Development Block Grant of the FEMA buyout program during their regular meeting Tuesday.
The board approved the payment request in the amount of $22,573.04.
The board also granted an amendment for bids on asbestos surveys and removal for flood damaged properties set to be extended until March 5 to receive bids.
"We have some interested contractors, we hope to receive more bids by March 5," said Carissa Miller a planner with Midas Council of Governments.
In other business, the board approved the demolition of a storage shed on the county farm property south of Fort Dodge. Staff from the Webster County Engineer's Department offered to demolish the structure.
"It has created a liability and we are wanting to get it down," said Supervisor Keith Dencklau.
The board also approved the resignation of Russ Naden, Webster County director of Veteran Affairs effective Thursday and the approval of the employment of Daniel Lewandowski as Veteran Affairs director effective Feb. 20.
The board also heard a report following the meeting from the Iowa Municipalities Workers Compensation Association on the county's claims over the past five years.
During the 2007-2008 fiscal year, Tim Kirgan, marketing manager for the IMWCA, reported that Webster County saw 18 workers' compensation claims, at at total of $272,971 with an audited annual premium of $155,256, resulting in a 175.8 percent loss ratio. In 2008-2009 the county also handled 18 claims totaling $756,737at a loss ratio of 414 percent.
For fiscal year 2012-2013, Kirgan reported that the number of claims had been reduced to four at a total incurred cost of $2,980 with a .7 percent loss ratio.
"With a five year loss ratio of 149 and now being in the single digits for loss you will see a 27 percent change, which means you could see 27 percent less on your premiums," said Kirgan. "That is a result of the hard work your county has put in to change. If you can keep a single digit loss ratio it will keep you off of the high risk status. Your county can go from high risk to a 50 percent discount if you keep on doing what you're doing."

Skip to comments.Solar proton event seen in paleo records (Carbon 14 in Tree Rings)
Posted on 03/15/2013 7:37:13 AM PDT by Ernest_at_the_Beach
From the AGU weekly highlights:
Large solar proton event explains 774-775 CE carbon-14 increase
Tree ring records indicate that in 774-775 CE, atmospheric carbon-14 levels increased substantially. Researchers suggest that a solar proton event may have been the cause. In solar proton events, large numbers of high-energy protons are emitted from the Sun, along with other particles. If these particles reach Earths atmosphere, they ionize the atmosphere and induce nuclear reactions that produce higher levels of carbon-14; the particles also cause chemical reactions that result in depletion of ozone in the ozone layer, allowing harmful ultraviolet radiation to reach the ground.
A previous group of researchers suggested that to cause the observed eighth century carbon-14 increase, a solar proton event would have had to be thousands of times larger than any that has been observed from the Sun. However, Thomas et al. believe that groups calculations were incorrect. They modeled the atmospheric and biologic effects of three solar proton events with different energy spectra and fluences (number of protons per area). They find that an event with about 7 or more times greater fluence (depending on the spectrum) than an observed October 1989 solar flare event could explain the 774-775 CE carbon-14 enhancement. With a hard (high-energy) spectrum, an event with this fluence would result in moderately damaging effects on life but would not cause a mass extinction. They rule out an event with a softer spectrum because such an event would cause severe ozone depletion and mass extinction, which were not observed in the eighth century. The authors estimate that solar proton events of this magnitude occur on average once in a thousand years, and more often if the estimate is based on astronomical observations of flares on Sun-like stars. They note that although that may seem low, such an event would have severely damaging effects on the technology on which society relies.
Geophysical Research Letters, doi:10.1002/grl.50222, 2013 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/grl.50222/abstract
Terrestrial effects of possible astrophysical sources of an AD 774-775 increase in carbon-14 production
We examine possible sources of a substantial increase in tree ring14C measurements for the years AD 774-775. Contrary to claims regarding a coronal mass ejection (CME), the required CME energy is not several orders of magnitude greater than known solar events. We consider solar proton events (SPEs) with three different fluences and two different spectra. The data may be explained byan event with fluenceabout one order of magnitude beyond the October 1989 SPE.Two hard spectrum cases considered here result in moderate ozone depletion, so no mass extinction is implied, though we do predict increases in erythema and damage to plants from enhanced solar UV.We are able to rule out an event with a very soft spectrum that causes severe ozone depletion and subsequent biological impacts.Nitrate enhancements are consistent with their apparent absence in ice core data. The modern technological implications of such an eventmay beextreme, and considering recent confirmation of superflares on solar-type stars, this issue merits attention.

I don't recall hearing if anything similar was noted about the Carrington flare.
That explains all the crazyness that erupted at that time.
What is CE?
Doesn't most Carbon-14 dating depend on the assumption of a constant level of production of Carbon-14 in the atmosphere. It also depends on no groundwater leaching of carbon-14 into or out of the sample.
Terminology used by Solar Scientists.
That's "A.D." for athiests.
(CE = "Childish Enlightenment")
They can't bring themselves to admit that Jesus Christ is the center of human history.
Sure - I know EC stands for "Common Era", as BCE stands for "Before the Common Era"
Another ref:
Large solar proton event explains 774-775 CE carbon-14 increase
Could be Carbon Enhancement.....
Oh Noes! This means we'll have to give up SUVs and increase taxes and the size of government, and give up on gasoline.
could explain the 774-775 CE carbon-14 enhancement.
Leftie politicians will be right on that very soon.
Thank you everyone.
CE = Christ Era
BCE = Before Christ Era

In 775 C.E., while Charlemagne was ruling his Frankish kingdom, something mysterious struck Earth. An analysis of the rings of two Japanese cedar trees (typical tree rings shown above), reported online today in Nature, reveals that from 774 to 775 C.E., the atmospheric level of radioactive carbon-14 jumped by 1.2%. This indicates that cosmic rayshigh-speed, charged particles from spacebombarded our planet and converted some atmospheric nitrogen-14 into carbon-14. Earlier work had found a rise in radioactive carbon during the same decade; the new discovery means that scientists have been able to narrow down the date of impact to within just 1 year. The scientists argue against two logical suspects: solar flares are too weak to do the job, and no supernova explosion was seen at the time, nor do any nearby supernova remnants date back to Charlemagne's time. There's also nothing unusual in the history books. So the cause remains a mystery, but whatever it was, something similar could presumably strike again.
I should have read the rest of the thread before posting.
There are many answers : )
I call it "Christian Era."
ping to 16. historical xref
You were being helpful, that's good by me. :)
Joe Grappa says:
Why do you introduce the article using CE instead of AD? Why would anybody in Europe or countries settled by Europeans use such a peculiar dating terminology?
Why not write it as 774-775 AD, which is used by 99 percent of us?
No matter what somebodys own religion / culture, if he wants to cater to his audience, he uses the dating scheme that is ingrained in its culture. To use this CE nonsense is an insult to the people he is talking to.
I like that one.
Anyone know of any human perturbations around this time period, Famine, pestilence, etc? Any historians out there that can wade in on this comment?
Many Google hits refer to mention of an astronomical event in the Saxon chronicles for that year, when a red crucifix is seen in the sky. Also to Song of Roland episode when Charlemagne begs God to make the sun stand still so he may pursue his enemies in daylight.
Duster says:
The entire second half of the first millennium CE is chaotic. It has been suggested that Krakatoa may have erupted on an even greater scale than the 1883 eruption in 535 CE. There is abundant historical evidence of a profound cooling event similar to the effects of the Laki eruption in Iceland in the 18th C. The chill apparently didnt last long and regionally there are records of both drought and flood. In California the Sierra Nevada are nearly depopulated. Developing cultural patterns are terminated and a near-hiatus in the Sierran archaeological record lasts at least a couple of centuries. Historical documents place the main event at 535 CE, but there is no record of the precise location, unsurprising, since being near enough to know what went up would have been fatal. Following that initial event the plague passes through at least three major cycles. Christian and Muslim shills sell the terrible weather as the punishment of God/Allah and drum up some major business and also blame the bad times on each other. This is followed by the Medieval Warm Period. Interestingly, the first half of the same millennium sees cooling from the Roman Warm period that is comparable to the LIA.
"To use this CE nonsense is an insult to the people he is talking to."
Mike McMillan says:
Perhaps the 14C effect could have been achieved by a series of smaller proton events, rather than one large burst.
I note that the politically correct AGU uses Christian Era years, where the abstract uses Anno Domini years. Extra credit to Thomas et al. for placing the AD as a prefix.
Thank you.

Joe, the odds are youre wrong about what dating systems the majority of readers use given WUWTs global viewership. Even here in the USofA some of us find the use of AD presumptuous. BTW, the AD precedes the year number in proper usage. It would properly be AD 774-775. Use it backward around a classicist or two and they wont hesitate to set you straight and accuse you of parochialism as well. Happened to me in Israel. So another good reason to use CE is because it is a simple, proper English usage, as opposed to an inverted Latinism, without built-in religious assumptions that irritate Muslims, and make Buddhists smile, while Hindus simply shake their heads.
"...assumptions that irritate Muslims..."
Sounds great to me.
Christian Era. ;)
B.C.E. = Before Christian Era
Work with me, folks, I'm going to use the methods of the left to singlehandedly annoy 'em and REDEFIINE THEIR OWN TERMS BACK ON THEM! ;)
Sounds good.

The Long Lonesome: 38 Miles per Day, 57 Days - Page 2
Pharr Davis raises funds for trail conservation and promotes outdoor recreation through her company, Blue Ridge Hiking Company.
In 2006, Horton invited me to run one of his races, the Promise Land 50K in Lynchburg, Virginia. I had never run more than a marathon and wondered if I would finish within the 10-hour time limit. But there I discovered that ultrarunning was a lot like hiking except that you don't carry a pack, you can run the hills and there are aid stations along the way.
Shocking myself with a finishing time of seven hours, I decided that I loved ultrarunning, particularly spending an entire day in the woods surrounded by a supportive community. The problem was, though, it wasn't enough. After seven hours, I wasn't ready to leave the woods and my fellow runners, and return to sitting behind a desk on Monday morning. I wanted to live on the trails. I had no choice but to do another long-trail thru-hike.
"If you liked the AT, then you should do the Pacific Crest Trail," said Horton when I asked him about other great American trails.
"But, David, that's 400 miles longer!" I replied.
"You're right, you're probably too much of a sissy for that trail," he said with a knowing smile.
So I saved my money, and, in 2006, took four months off from my museum marketing job to hike the 2663-mile Pacific Crest Trail from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. I finished feeling more in love with the trails than ever.
From that point forward my life followed a well-defined pattern of working and trail running, carefully saving my money for the next long trail. In 2007 and 2008, I traveled to Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro, South America to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and Australia, where I traveled the hot, dusty, 620-mile Bibbulmun Track.
By the end of 2007, long-trail hiking had furnished me with considerable physical strength and endurance, though my trail runs were usually only between three and seven miles. Regardless, I entered my first 50-miler, the Mountain Masochist in Lynchburg, Virginia, that November, another of Horton's popular trail races.
Surging through the final five miles of the Mountain Masochist, I passed a runner who called out, "With that much left, you should have gone faster in the beginning!" When I crossed the finish line in 9 hours 41 minutes 21 seconds, I was tired but could have kept going. I didn't want to go faster; I wanted to go further. The race confirmed my suspicion that my gift was not speed but endurance.
Of course, a single-day race is far different than a multi-week expedition. Besides superior fitness, a long-trail speed record requires emotional fortitude, intelligence, familiarity with the terrain and a love of the trail. No matter how well I had prepared my body, if my heart longed to be elsewhere, I would have quit after one week. Having Brew's support let me focus on my goal instead of yearning to be home with my family.
Other important elements are mental strength and perseverance. With no crowds along the trail to cheer me on, I had to fill each day with positive self-talk and encouragement. There was little room for mental lapse because if I stopped moving for even one afternoon, the record could fall out of my reach.
And if nothing else, I wanted to break the women's AT speed record to inspire other women. Jardine had set her record in 1993 while carrying a backpack and receiving no outside support. No woman had challenged it since, whereas men were attempting a new record every few years (the current men's time is 47 days 13 hours 31 minutes, set by Andrew Thompson in 2005).
When Brew and I touched the brown wooden sign on top of Mount Katahdin, it felt good to be back after three years.
"I'll see you tonight," said Brew.
"Right, I'll see you in 40 miles,"
I replied.
Then I turned to begin my long journey to Georgia. I looked back several times until Brew was out of view, then focused on the trail ahead and laughed out loud with nervous excitement. I did not know what adventures and hardships awaited me, but if this AT thru-hike was anything like the first, it would include both moments of both horror and empowerment.
The first two weeks of the speed-record attempt were the hardest. The trail from Maine to New Hampshire was saturated with rain and snow melt, it rained constantly and, when it wasn't raining, the air was humming with black flies and mosquitoes. There were few places where the trail intersected a road, so at times I saw Brew only once a day or not at all. Midday breaks were few, but occasionally I stopped early so we could go to a nearby town for a large meal, shower and motel stay.
I would start the day as soon as it was light enough to see, and stop when it was dark. Even still, some days I was unable to reach the day's mileage goal before nightfall and had to continue in the dark, in which case Brew would accompany me.
At each day's end, my bruised and scratched arms and legs made it I look as though I had been in a fight. My ankle was the size of an orange and mud was everywhere. I often awoke in the middle of the night in fits of pain, my legs twitching in discomfort. In the morning, I dreaded leaving the tent. The pain, which was worst first thing in the morning, made me want to plunk down in the middle of the trail and cry.
At those low moments, I recalled the profound experiences from my first AT hike—those that taught me I was stronger than I thought.
The most intense of those moments occurred on New Jersey's Sunrise Mountain. As the morning sun peeked over the horizon, I approached an open-air pavilion on the summit. That's when I saw the body of a young man hanging from a rope tied to the rafters. Nothing was between his feet and the cement floor except three feet of air. My stomach churned as I ran back down the trail. What had I just seen? Was it really a suicide? Could it have been a murder or someone playing a sick practical joke?
I took out my cell phone and called the police. Between short, panicked breaths, I mumbled an explanation of what I had seen. A half hour later, policemen stood beside me, asking questions and handing me Kleenex with which to wipe my tears.
"What do you want to do?" asked the police chief.
"I want to keep hiking," I said without hesitation.
I grieved the suicide and asked why God would let me come upon such a horrific scene. At first I thought that being alone would amplify these negative feelings, but being alone actually helped. I didn't have to repress my emotions in order to be socially acceptable. I could cry, dwell on my thoughts and speak out loud to God. With no friends or family around, I sought comfort in creation. I found hope in each new sunrise, beauty in the kaleidoscope of wildflowers and peace in a young fawn wrapped around her mother's leg.

Very bad service, we were 5 days in the apartment and we don't have nothing to clean, no mop, no cleaning cloth, just 1 bed sheets for the 5 days, old broom, the washing machine doesn't working well, not toliet paper. We're very desappointed with the apartment and the service.
small but well furnished, great location
klein, aber gut eingerichtet, tolle Lage
Okay, we were five days in February a family with 2 teenagers. The apartment is small but has what it takes to make breakfast and dinner, the beds are large but somewhat soft, the overall cleanliness good, the bathroom quite old. Despite being winter was always hot, the heating works alone. At night no noise and away from the street.
Could not accommodate Kamran and let a person responsible for giving the keys in the study, not much podrigó to explain how things worked rather a hurry to leave because we arrived almost at 12 pm and would want to go to sleep.
The good thing is the location, easy access to the subway and buses nearby. On the same street there are several supermarkets and plenty of places to eat or bring food.
Muy bien, estuvimos 5 días en febrero una familia con 2 adolescentes. El apartamento es pequeño pero dispone de lo necesario para hacerse el desayuno y la cena, las camas son amplias aunque algo blandas, la limpieza en general bien, el cuarto de baño algo antiguo. Pese a ser invierno se estaba siempre caliente, la calefaccion funciona sola. Por la noche no hay ruidos y está alejado de la calle.
No pudo atendernos Kamran y dejó a una persona encargada de darnos las llaves en el estudio, no se podrigó mucho en explicarnos de como funcionaban las cosas, más bien tenía prisa por irse porque llegamos casi a las 12 de la noche y tendría ganas de irse a dormir.
Lo bueno es la situación, bien comunicado con el metro y autobuses cerca. En la misma calle hay varios supermercados y un monton de sitios para comer o llevar la comida.
The apartment is equipped with everything you need for 4 people. 10 minutes to the Eiffel Tower and 5 minutes to the Champ de Mars.
If you no morning person maybe you will be disturbed by deliveries to the supermarket which is right next door. Otherwise, one can see that as a plus when you also have a grocery store next door.
The apartment is small but roomy, more precise cleaning would not hurt.
Strongly recommend

We had a great time at the appartment, it was very clean and every thing we needed was there. The neighbourhood is very nice.
Thanks Kamran, you are a great host!
The apartment has a very good situation, perhaps requires some maintenance, the owners very friendly.
El apartamento tiene muy buena situación, quizás requiere un poco de mantenimiento, los propietarios muy amables.
Cozy apartment. It is as described and shown in pictures Ad. Enough for a family or 4 people who have no problems sleeping in the same room. Very comfortable especially if you think principalnente going to rest easy after enjoying Paris. Very close to the Bastille, where several subway lines that have very good communication with the rest of the city. It is well equipped with everything needed for a short stay. The area has supermarkets nearby, bars and shops. To emphasize the attention of the host that, although he was not present in person, was always aware of if everything was ok or needed anything. The entrance and exit of the apartment was as previously agreed and the handover smoothly, very good communication with the lady who welcomed us. Anyway, recommended.
Apartamento muy acogedor. Está tal como se describe y muestra en las fotos del anuncio. Suficiente para una familia o 4 personas que no tengan inconvenientes en dormir en una misma estancia. Muy cómodo sobre todo si piensas principalnente ir a descansar tranquilamente luego de disfrutar de París. Muy cerca de La Bastilla, donde confluyen varias líneas del metro que poseen muy buena comunicación con el resto de la ciudad. Está bien equipado, con todo lo necesario para pasar una estancia corta. La zona tiene supermercados cerca, bares y tiendas. A destacar la atención del anfitrión que, aunque no estuvo presente personalmente, siempre estuvo pendiente de si estaba todo correcto o necesitábamos algo. La entrada y salida del apartamento fue tal como lo acordamos previamente y la entrega de llaves sin problemas, muy buena la comunicación con la señora que nos recibió. En fin, recomendable.
The lady was very friendly and facilitated the arrival and stay all that he could. The apartment is very well located, five minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower, a street with many stores, supermarkets and subway stops, in addition be in good condition and with all accessories. Certainly recur if returned.
La señora fue muy amable y facilito la llegada y la estancia todo lo que pudo. El apartamento esta muy bien ubicado, a cinco minutos andando de la Torre Eiffel, de una calle con muchos establecimientos, supermercados y paradas de metro, ademas encontrarse en buen estado y con todo tipo de accesorios. Sin duda repetiria si volviera.
Jasmin was a very kind and warm hostess. We felt very welcome. The apartment was clean and beautifull. The location was ideal and we could reach all the attractions very quickly. It was a great time in Paris.
We'll be back!

Implications for practice and research
Maternal mental health should be routinely assessed in paediatric settings where the presenting problem is the infant.
The emergency department (ED) setting is an opportune place for the identification of postnatal depression (PND) and referral for support.
Study findings should be replicated in other ED settings, with more socioeconomically diverse samples and confirmed through the use of diagnostic interviews.
PND is a common mental health problem with community prevalence estimates internationally ranging between 8% and 20%.1 A large body of research demonstrates ongoing adverse impacts on the mother, her family and the developing infant. In recent years, the …

text: Admin on May 2, 2012 1 Comment After seeing all of the homes on the tour, I think we came to an unanimous decision that this next one was our absolute favorite. The color scheme, the decor, the landscaping, everything about this home was beautiful. As one of my coworkers put it to the homeowner, "I want to make out with your house." So, please enjoy our photos of 3112 Lafayette. 3112 Lafayette This home made us feel like we were no longer in Austin. I'm not quite sure what it was, but something about the home felt very eastern U.S. to us. We loved the gray color scheme. It was carried throughout the house and gave it a very tranquil feeling. There were many small features of the home that we loved as well, like the bathroom tile, the doorknobs and the wall decorations. The backyard was another great part of this home. It had multiple seating areas where you could host a large group, lounge or enjoy a dinner outdoors. You'll also notice our mini kegerator on the kitchen counter top. Alright, enough of my yammering. Check out the pictures of this beautiful home! no images were found

Autopsy Report Expected In April
MAYVILLE – An autopsy report on the Jamestown man who died while in police custody may not be released until April.
David Foley, Chautauqua County district attorney, said Monday a toxicology report on Charles A. Baker Jr. could take up to eight weeks to analyze, delaying the release of the autopsy results.
"It's going to take some time," Foley said, noting no cause of death will be announced until all tests are concluded. "The toxicology result takes longer than everything else."
Baker, 30, was detained by city police Feb. 16 following a traffic stop in the city. The driver of the vehicle, identified as Cindy S. Frank, 40, of Jamestown, was charged with giving police a false name.
Police found several baggies of cocaine on Baker and in the patrol car where he attempted to destroy evidence.
After becoming combative at police headquarters, Baker was shot once with a 50,000 volt electronic control device and later placed in a jail restraint chair.
Baker later went into seizure shortly after being placed in a holding cell for observation. He was taken to WCA Hospital where staff said he had another seizure and later died.
According to the state Department of Corrections, Baker had been jailed three times since 2003 for criminal sale of a controlled substance. He was charged in last week's incident with felony tampering of physical evidence and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Foley said he has been investigating the incident, and noted he has viewed surveillance video taken from the City Jail.
"I saw the video a few days afterward," Foley said. "Once everything comes back from the medical examiner, I expect to release a report on what happened."
A request by The Post-Journal under the Freedom of Information Law to obtain the surveillance video was denied by the city of Jamestown. James Olson, city clerk and records access officer, said the denial was due to the ongoing investigation.

The Salamander Stands Alone in 2013 Luxury
SAN DIEGO (TheStreet) -- It's being called the future power playground for Washington's elite.
It has been chronicled by CNN, Town & Country, The Wall Street Journal and The Washingtonian, among others.
It's the only luxury resort slated to open in the United States this year, and while the construction price is not being disclosed, the list of amenities and details that are part of the soon-to-open Salamander Resort & Spa is revealing enough.
Built on 340 acres in Middleburg, Va., in the heart of horse and wine country and just one hour outside Washington, D.C., the nation's newest posh resort includes a 23,000-square-foot spa, 22-stall horse stables that allow guests to bring their horses with them, a full-service equestrian center, a high-tech cooking studio that can be rented for private dinners and team-building events and guest rooms that are nearly 600 square feet and have 10-foot ceilings.
Other details include indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, putting greens and a zip line and ropes course in the surrounding woods.
"It is one of the most luxurious new resorts to be built in quite a while," says Prem Devadas, president of Salamander Hotels & Resorts.
Nearly 10 years in the making, Salamander Resort & Spa is the vision of entrepreneur Sheila C. Johnson.
Johnson, who lives on an estate nearby, is co-founder of Black Entertainment Television as well as partner and vice chair of Monumental Sports & Entertainment, which owns the NBA's Washington Wizards, the WNBA's Washington Mystics and the NHL's Washington Capitals.
Johnson bought the Salamander property a decade ago because she felt Washington needed a luxurious spa destination. That initial idea evolved into a full-scale resort that, because of its location would become a destination for Fortune 500 retreats, think tank events and political retreats. Final plans included a destination that would offer guests equestrian, spa, culinary, winery, nature and historic experiences.
As part of the resort's nature experience, nearly 200 acres of forest surrounding the main resort building have been placed in a conservation easement to ensure that walking and hiking trails through the woods, which have existed for more than a century, are maintained.
The culinary program includes hosted cooking classes, demonstrations from visiting chefs and the planting of a two-acre culinary garden.

Reality Check: Obama Ad Ties McCain To Lobbyists
Ad Labels McCain As Someone With Strong Lobbyist Connections
MADISON, Wis. - A new Sen. Barack Obama ad tries to challenge Sen. John McCain's commitment to reform in Washington by pointing out his ties to lobbyists.
VIDEO: Watch The Report
McCain has branded himself and his running mate as mavericks and reformers, but Obama challenges that in an ad that examines McCain's inner circle.
The problem with the ad, a WISC-TV analysis found, is that someone needs to check the verb tenses.
The ad makes it look like these staffers are currently lobbying in Congress, while in fact none of them are currently lobbyists.
"It's over; it's over for the special interests. Wait a second: John McCain's chief adviser lobbies for oil companies - - even from Russia and China," said the ad.
McCain's senior adviser is Charlie Black. It's true that he has been a lobbyist, but he currently is not.
In 2004, he was listed as a lobbyist for Russian oil company Yukos. He's also lobbied for companies like General Motors and AT&T. Black left his lobbying job in March of 2008.
The ad continued, "His campaign manager lobbies for corporations outsourcing American jobs."
Rick Davis is McCain's campaign manager and a former telecommunications lobbyist.
He's lobbied for companies like SBC and Verizon, which have outsourced.
"The campaign chairman he picked last year, a bank lobbyist," said the ad.
First of all, former Texas Sen. Phil Gramm is no longer McCain's national campaign co-chair; he stepped down in July. Gramm was a registered lobbyist for Swiss bank UBS until April.
He is still a vice chairman with the bank and, though a McCain supporter, he's no longer with the campaign.
The ad continued, "If seven of McCain's top advisers are lobbyists, who do you think will run his White House?"
Other McCain campaign staffers and fundraisers do have lobbying histories, a WISC-TV analysis found.
Many of them terminated their lobbying associations earlier this year after Davis reportedly issued an order that no person working for the campaign be a paid lobbyist.
Obama's running mate, Joe Biden, brings some lobbyist connections.
Biden's son only recently stepped down as a lobbyist with a Washington firm.

An experienced radiologist with St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton, California, Dr. Sam Maxwell can read an x-ray like a book. But Dr. Maxwell's professional skills aren't limited to medicine. He can also tell you how to remove a stain from a favorite dress or exactly how much starch is needed to make a collar stand at attention. Dr. Maxwell '69 spent much of his youth working at Maxwell Cleaners, his family's dry cleaning business in Drew, Mississippi. While laundry and radiology may not appear to have much in common, Sam Maxwell credits both fields with helping him cultivate the work ethic that's led to his success.
Dr. Maxwell's grandfather graduated from Mississippi College. Dr. Maxwell's father, Lowry Maxwell, also found himself drawn to MC. Lowry Maxwell attended Mississippi College from 1926-27, a time when two years of college was the requirement to attend dental school. Lowry Maxwell enrolled in dental school at the University of Louisville, but the Great Depression forced him to give up his dream of becoming a dentist. Instead, he returned to his hometown of Drew and opened Maxwell Cleaners.
"I never once heard my father complain about having to leave dental school," Dr. Maxwell says. "In fact, I never heard him complain about anything."
Sam Maxwell worked alongside his father and mother in the dry cleaning business six days a week, putting in an hour before school, three hours after school, and up to 15 hours on Saturdays.
"That experience was very important to the formation of my work ethic," Dr. Maxwell says. "I was paid for my work, so in a sense, I had a share in the profits of the business. When my friends would complain about their allowances, it wasn't a concept I understood. Working there taught me that you get paid for what you do, not for who you are."
When he wasn't working at the dry cleaning shop, Sam Maxwell was hitting the books. He graduated from Drew High School as valedictorian and found himself considering scholarship offers from some of the nation's most prestigious universities, including Harvard and Yale. He was also offered the Carrier Scholarship to the University of Mississippi and the Hederman Scholarship to Mississippi College, both of which were full scholarships. After much prayer, deliberation, and interviewing of alumni from the various institutions, Sam Maxwell chose Mississippi College.
"In the back of my mind, I always wanted to go to MC," Dr. Maxwell says. "Yes, Harvard and Yale had some prestige value, but what would it really have meant to go there? I knew that MC had the core values and academic program that would be a good fit for me. I would not have chosen MC if I hadn't been certain I could accomplish my goal there, which was to get into medical school.
"I've never once wondered, 'What would my life be like if I'd gone to Harvard or Yale?'" Dr. Maxwell continues. "I had a fantastic experience at Mississippi College and I have never once regretted my decision."
"I've never once wondered, 'What would my life be like if I'd gone to Harvard or Yale?'" Dr. Maxwell continues. "I had a fantastic experience at Mississippi College and I have never once regretted my decision."
The only thing Maxwell sacrificed by attending MC was sleep. In addition to completing a rigorous pre-med program that included hundreds of hours of lab work, Maxwell served as the editor of the student newspaper. He describes his senior year as "a blur. I stayed up all night at least one night a week."
Following his graduation from MC, Maxwell found himself again considering schools, this time medical schools. Once again, he was accepted to Harvard. During his interview at Harvard Medical School, one of the professors asked Maxwell if he had applied to Harvard for undergraduate school. When Maxwell replied, "yes," the professor asked him if he had been accepted. Again, Maxwell replied, "yes."
"Then why the [expletive deleted] did you choose a little school like Mississippi College?" the professor asked.
Maxwell responded with a description of the outstanding pre-med program and dedicated professors at MC. He went on to mention that MC was founded in 1826 and was the first American co-educational college to grant a degree to a woman, and shared several other notable facts and figures about his alma mater.
The professor finally said, "Okay, okay, I think I understand why you chose Mississippi College. Now, do you have any questions for me?"
"Yes sir," Maxwell replied. "Did you apply to Harvard for undergraduate school?"
"Yes," the professor replied.
"Then why didn't you attend Harvard?" Maxwell asked.
The professor said sheepishly, "I didn't get in."
Maxwell continued to display a phenomenal work ethic as a medical school student, working for minimum wage as an autopsy assistant at a Boston hospital while completing his studies. He graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1973, then went on to complete a surgical internship and a one-year residency in obstetrics and gynecology before deciding that radiology was his calling.
Dr. Maxwell completed a residency in radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a fellowship in cardiovascular radiology at Tufts-New England Medical Center in Boston, and a fellowship in neuroradiology at Universitätsklinikum der Johannes Gutenberg Universität in Mainz, West Germany. Dr. Maxwell also taught radiology at Harvard Medical School and at Tufts University School of Medicine.
Today, in addition to his work as a staff radiologist at St. Jude, Dr. Maxwell chairs the hospital's credentials committee, vetting the credentials of prospective doctors who wish to join the hospital staff.
Lowry Maxwell passed away in 1985, living long enough to see his son well on his way to a successful career in medicine. In honor of the father who inspired him and taught him the value of hard work, Dr. Samuel Maxwell created the Lowry Maxwell Memorial Scholarship at Mississippi College. The scholarship is awarded annually to an outstanding chemistry or pre-med student.
Dr. Samuel Maxwell attended Mississippi College on the Hederman Scholarship, which paid for his tuition, room, and board. In the mid-1960s when Maxwell was a student, the total annual value of that full ride scholarship was $1,000.
"Receiving the Hederman Scholarship helped me attend Mississippi College, and I wanted to give something back to MC," Dr. Maxwell says. "I hope this gift will help MC to attract and retain academically talented students. I can't think of any other institution more deserving than Mississippi College. I never considered supporting any other school."
"This scholarship has come at a perfect time," says Dustyn Baker, an MC sophomore and the recipient of the 2010 Lowry Maxwell Memorial Scholarship. "College is expensive and any financial support is wonderful, but it was a Godsend for me. My mother is ill, and having to carry the burden of college debt is no easy task for her. This scholarship will alleviate some of that burden.
"Receiving this award is a tremendous honor," Baker continues. "The Maxwell scholarship is for those that the administration feels have what it takes to finish this race they've started. It's an honor to be thought of in that respect."
Dr. Maxwell trusts MC to choose the scholarship recipient, specifying only that the scholarship be awarded on the basis of merit.
"I've met a lot of doctors who have lived very privileged lives and really don't know what hard work is," Dr. Maxwell says. "They believe they should get paid just for being a doctor and not for the effort they put in. One of the lessons reinforced at MC was that hard work leads to good results. I still believe in a day's work for a day's pay and I wanted to help a student who shares that belief. As for me, I enjoy what I'm doing and I'm hoping never to quit. We have an 82-year-old in our practice who is one of our best workers, and I tell him, 'When I grow up, I want to be just like you.'"
Sam Maxwell and the Great Provine Protest
While Sam Maxwell was a student at MC in the 1960s, the administration made the decision to demolish Provine Hall, the old brick building that had housed MC science programs for more than 50 years. • As a pre-med student, Maxwell had spent many hours in Provine Hall. He was intimately familiar with the aging construction, the creaking and groaning of the walls and floors, the lack of air conditioning that left students broiling in the summer and the open space heaters that barely kept the building habitable in the winter. Still, there was something special about the stately old science building where he had spent so much of his college career. • "I had a love/hate relationship with Provine," Dr. Maxwell recalls. "It was the scene of a lot of hard work and late nights, but the building had come to feel like home." • Deciding the building should be preserved, Maxwell led a petition drive to save Provine. Alas, his efforts were in vain. The night before the building was razed, Maxwell entered the building, turned on every light in every room, then stepped outside and snapped one last photo of the building "with the lights ablaze on its final night of glory." Today, some four decades later, Dr. Maxwell still treasures that photo, along with a brick he retrieved from the demolition site and a set of metal letters reading, "Provine Hall."

The Haunted Hall at Sunriver Resort
Back in 1943, the US Army claimed an area of land in Central Oregon on a meadow near the Deschutes River and called it Camp Abbot. They used the camp as training grounds and built a magnificent log building for their Officer's Club. That meadow is now part of Sunriver Resort and the Officer's Club is now the Great Hall, a premier Northwest meeting space.
Legend has it that one of the officers at the camp was accidentally killed during a training session in 1943 and now, according to some Resort employees, that unnamed officer's presence can be felt in the Great Hall - sometimes appearing in the Crow's Nest on the upper floor dressed in full Army fatigues.
Some have seen candles floating, others have heard rattling in the empty building late at night. Richard Shields, a banquet server at the Resort, had an experience with the Sunriver ghost. "Once, late at night while shutting things down after a very busy wedding, I left the Great Hall after turning off all the lights. I returned five minutes later and found ALL of the lights burning bright. As I was the only person in the building this was very disconcerting and quite eerie. I didn't see anything in the Crow's Nest, but I definitely felt something".
Happy Halloween from Sunriver Resort!

Fatal crash in Iron County
Wintry roads here to stay
It happens every year. Winter weather arrives, and motorists who should know better try to drive as if it's summer.
Winter storms test winter driving skills of all motorists – even those in the Upper Peninsula, where snow is away of life.
The snowfall this week serves as a warning for area drivers. Wintery weather, which had avoided the Dickinson County area thus far, has arrived and is here to stay.
Look folks, this is winter and we're in the Upper Peninsula. Expect snow, drifting snow, blowing snow, bitter wind chills, snow showers, and possibly some freezing rain tossed in for good measure.
In other words, drive as though your life depended on it.
Traffic safety experts say there are ways to improve our chances of survival on the road.
– Clear snow and ice from vehicle. to improve visibility, remove all snow and ice from the hood, roof, trunk, turn signals, tail lights and headlights.
– Go slow in the snow. Posted speed limits are set for ideal road and weather conditions. Slow down when visibility and road conditions are impaired.
– Don't brake hard. On ice and snow, use "threshold" or "squeeze" braking when driving a vehicle without anti-lock brakes. Apply the brakes firmly to a point just short of lock-up, then ease off the brake pedal slightly. For vehicles with anti-lock brakes, continuous, firm braking is recommended.
– Anticipate danger. Be ready for ice on bridges, hidden lane markings, stalled cars and poor visibility. Adjust your speed, increase following distance between vehicles.
– Put the lid on skids. Ease off the accelerator and don't lock up the brakes. Carefully steer in the direction you want your vehicle to go and straighten the wheel as soon as the car beings to go in the desired direction.
Experts also urge motorists to prepare their vehicles for the winter season, and know how to react if stranded or lost on the road.
Motorists should always carry an emergency kit in the vehicle, containing a flashlight, flares or reflective triangle, distress sign, telephone change or cell phone, first aid supplies and some basic tools.
Motorist should also monitor dashboard gauges and warning lights. If differences in handling are noticed, have the car checked.
If the vehicle become disabled:
– Activate hazard warning lights immediately and pull off the road of the far right shoulder, well off traveled lanes.
– Warn on-coming traffic by setting flares or reflective triangles behind the vehicle, especially at night.
– If it's necessary to stop on a center median, pull off the road as far as possible.
If you decide to stay with your vehicle, close the windows and lock the doors. If someone approaches offering assistance, talk through a closed window and ask the "good samaritan" to call for help.
If it is necessary to jump-start a dead battery, the following general procedure works for most vehicles. However, motorists should always consult the vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions:
– Position the cars close enough for jumper cables to be connected, but not touching. The transmission on both vehicles should be in park, or neutral for a manual transmission. The parking brake should be on and the ignition and accessories off.
– Connect one end of the positive cable to the positive terminal of the good batters. Attach the other end of the positive cable to the positive terminal of the bad battery.
– Connect one end of the negative cable to the negative terminal of the good batter. Attach the other end of the negative cable to a god ground like a bolt on the engine or other unpainted, metallic surface on the car with the dead battery. Do not connect the negative cable to the negative terminal of the dead battery.
– Start the engine on the car providing the jump. When attempting to start the disabled vehicle, don't crank the starter for more than 20 seconds. If it doesn't start in 20 seconds, wait two minutes before trying again.
– When the disabled car is running, disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse order from which they were connected.
Additionally, all motorists should commit themselves to becoming courteous drivers.
Not only does this reduce the chances of accidents, it reduces traffic stress.
Remember to:
– Be attentive. Many people are killed in traffic accidents because of inattentiveness and distractions.
– Do not tailgate. Many drivers do not realize they are tailgating. Keep a car length between you and the car in front of you for every 10 miles of speed you are driving.
– Respect the speed limit. Do not flash your lights at other drivers who are traveling at the posted speed.
– Do not let your emotions interfere with your driving. Many times, aggressive drivers do not realize they are taking their feelings out on other drivers.
– Never drink and drive.
– Always wear your seat belt.
– Avoid conflict. If another driver challenges you, take a deep breath and get out of the way.

A review of long-term effects of low sodium diet versus high sodium diet on blood pressure, renin, aldosterone, catecholamines, cholesterol and triglyceride
- College of Nursing, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida, USA
- Correspondence to Maureen McCormick Covelli
College of Nursing, University of Central Florida, 12201 Research Rarkway, Suite 300, Orlando, FL 32826, USA; Maureen.Covelli{at}ucf.edu
Implications for practice and research
■ Low sodium diet in normotensive Caucasians showed less than 1% decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and 3.5% decrease in hypertensive Caucasian populations.
■ Further controlled studies are needed on the effect of sodium reduction among Blacks and Asians.

Names of RG Steel 'key employees' released
Names of the 21 RG Steel employees described previously as "non-insiders" but who the company says are "key employees" were made public recently with a supplemental filing announcing the deadline for objections, and setting the subsequent hearing date on the initial motion.
The proposal is drawing objections from political representatives and labor unions alike, particularly on the point of it including funds to pay for healthcare – something the now unemployed steelworkers, former RG employees, previously saw covered through their collective bargaining agreements.
Officials for the United Steelworkers, the labor union representing the displaced workers who had worked at RG's various mills, have called the proposal "an inappropriate, unfair and outrageous effort."
The company's request is separate from an earlier plan, which was approved by the court, authorizing up to $20 million in bonus payments to 10 of the company's executives.
The proposed plan is built on offering 21 people three month's salary each and $2,000 monthly stipends to cover the cost of purchasing health insurance – a perk previously covered for them by the company.
A court established deadline for filing objections to the plan is 4 p.m. Thursday.
A hearing on the original motion is set for 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 20.
This group of "key" employees are essential to the business RG has to conduct through the end of the year if it is to see it realized to its full financial potential.
RG Steel's attorneys contend the company needs the employees' expertise to wind down its estate.
Without the proposed plan, the workers would at best "be less motivated to undertake the substantial responsibilities that they have been asked to undertake in connection with the 'wind-down process,' and at worst, would leave the debtors' employment entirely," said RG Steel's filing.
The union called the move a "slap in the face" to "steelworkers and retirees still owed monies for unpaid vacation, severance, medical claims and other broken promises."
One recently re-elected politician, Jack Cera, has made his objections to the plan official by putting his opinion of the matter into the court record.
"As the State Representative for the counties in Ohio which are home to RG Steel facilities, I am writing to express my concern over the recommendation to provide a 'key employee retention plan' for a certain few employees of RG Steel who remain in place as the company liquidates. The bankruptcy of RG Steel has devastated families and communities in my district. Many are left struggling to find and pay for health care coverage for themselves and their families. These workers include members of the United Steelworkers of America and local management employees," said Cera, State Representative, 95th District.
"According to The Times Leader newspaper, which quotes the motion filed by the court's reorganization officer, "those same employees would be less motivated to undertake the substantial responsibilities they have been asked to undertake in connection with the wind-down process, and at worst, would leave the debtor's employment entirely," and "would hinder the debtor's ability to realize the full value of their remaining assets" in light of the fact that the assets were sold, including Mingo Junction and Martins Ferry plants, at basically scrap prices far below what is reasonable."
"The State of Ohio and the federal government had invested millions of dollars in the facilities over the years and both were sold for less than what these governments had invested in these plants.
"Providing health care to the former RG Steel employees, both union and management, in my district is one of the most difficult issues we face in light of this bankruptcy. For the court to permit payment for healthcare for a few top tier executives while the government must try to provide healthcare to all other RG Steel employees is blatantly unfair and should not be permitted. I appreciate the complexity and difficulty of this issue, but would hope that the court would also see how allowing healthcare for these executives while ignoring the local workers is just not right," said Cera in his filing with the court.
On Oct. 25 the Debtors filed the Debtor's Motion for Order Approving Key Employee Retention Plan Supplemental Exhibit filed on Oct. 29 listing proposed participants in the proposed key employee retention plan.

Parks Canada
Home > National Parks of Canada > Sirmilik National Park > Visitor Information > Visitor Safety > River Crossings and Rockfall
Streams and rivers in and around Sirmilik National Park are mostly glacial fed so the depth and speed change throughout the day, and from day to day. This makes them unpredictable, susceptible to rapid change and challenging to assess for safe crossing.
When the sun is at its strongest, the glacial melt increases and so does the amount of water in the rivers and streams. Rivers and streams tend to be at the lowest levels early in the morning between 2 am and 7 am.
Rainfall affects the river and stream level and flow rate in two ways: by adding more water directly to the flow and by increasing the glacial melt. Increased water levels and flow rate may be immediate or delayed by several hours.
Here are some tips to help you assess rivers and streams and make a safe crossing:
The dynamic nature of the rivers and streams mean that safe crossing places change. You will have to assess each crossing for yourself, looking up and down stream to find a safe spot.
Bare, freshly broken rock is a sign of active rockfall; these areas may extend well out from the rock walls and cliffs. In or around steep terrain, choose routes carefully, watch and listen for falling rock and avoid stopping for breaks. Be particularly careful when it is raining and during periods of freeze-melt temperatures as these conditions loosen rock and increase rockfall. Choose campsites in protected areas, away from steep terrain.

Ecosystem Roles
The ecological roles, or niches, filled by the nearly 5000 mammal species are quite diverse. There are predators and prey, carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores, species that create or greatly modify their habitat and thus the habitat and structure of their communities [e.g., Castoridae damming streams, large populations of ungulates (Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla) grazing in grasslands, Talpidae digging in the earth]. In part because of their high metabolic rates, mammals often play an ecological role that is disproportionately large compared to their numerical abundance. Thus, many mammals may be keystone predators in their communities or play important roles in seed dispersal or pollination. The ecosystem roles that mammals play are so diverse that it is difficult to generalize across the group. Despite their low species diversity, compared to other animal groups, mammals have a substantial impact on global biodiversity. (Reichholf, 1990a; Vaughan, Ryan, and Czaplewski, 2000)

For the dogs
Posted by Reviewer2192154 on Sep 26, 2008
I bought this for my dogs who get constant ear infections i believe due to their big floppy ears and the day after i received it i woke up with an earache which hasn't happened in many years so i tried it on myself before trying it on the dogs and it worked well so i used it on them and they haven't been complaining (shaking and scratching at their ears) one bit.
great product!

after reading the reviews I purchased this for Mom's Cochapoo due to chronic ear infections, 3 drops in each ear and within two minutes you could rub her ears without her fussing. Normally she would yelp and try and nip at you. Six hours later she seems even more comfortable and now likes her ears touched!

Do you think that each of the Beatles feels responsible for the deaths of the two badfinger members who committed suicide. In a sense, many of the member of badfinger killed themselves over financial difficulties. Were the Apple folks responsible for exploiting these artists to a degree and not giving them a decent income? When Mariah Carey covered "Without you" written by the Badfinger fellows many years after their death, do you think it would have given them enough income to support their families.
I read that Pete Best got about 2 million in earnings for the anthology in royalties. While i don't doubt, he deserves it. I think it's a great story and i wonder why one of the Beatles didn't try to hook him up with cash much earlier.
I once read that their first manager Alan Williams (man who gave the Beatles away) who booked them to Hamburgh and gave them their first start - once told me at a Beatles' convention - he went to London in the early 70's with a tape of their performance in Hamburgh and George Harrison made him open up his hands and gave him some rubies of some sort and then just walked out. Williams said The Beatles never really hooked him up. I wonder if they should have -

Roseburg Hotel Explosion Linked To Hashish Lab
Three people have been injured in an explosion at a Roseburg motel. Police say the blast was a result of a hashish manufacturing operation. Police say the three were treated Monday at a local hospital and released.
The room in the downtown Douglas Inn was destroyed. One wall was blown out, and windows were in pieces on the parking lot. Police Sgt. Aaron Dunbar says the operation involved an accelerant, butane, used to extract the psychoactive agent THC from marijuana to make hashish. Dunbar says no arrests have been made, and the case will be presented to a grand jury.

The payback: Kodak's creditors and 30 cents on the dollar
Kodak's top bosses could reap some big bonuses when the company gets out bankruptcy and does so with its various creditors receiving at least 30 cents on the dollar for what they're owed. CEO Antonio M. Perez personally would get a $2.2 million bonus at that point – though the more the creditors get, the more Perez earns, up to $4.4 million. But 30 percent is the target amount. So why 30 cents? Why that number? Kodak, in court papers, itself says that's not going to be easy, calling 30 cents on the dollar "a significant hurdle that would require a creditor recovery of approximately double that implied by the current value of Kodak's senior unsecured notes due 2013 and 2017." Which is quite a mouthful. For us laymen, what Kodak is saying is that those bonds were trading earlier this week at roughly 15 cents on the dollar, implying the marketplace itself is putting the likelihood that Kodak can pay off debts it owes at one in six, or 15 percent, or 15 cents on the dollar. So Kodak has to do twice as good as that in order to meet its bonus targets. According to Kodak spokesman Christopher Veronda, unsecured bonds were trading at roughly 30 percent when the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January, so "It was felt that this is reasonable." Generally speaking, 30 cents on the dollar as a payout "would be pretty good," said, John E. Pottow, professor of law at the University of Michigan and a corporate bankruptcy expert. If you're on of the parties left in a lurch by Kodak's bankruptcy – maybe a supplier who shipped product or supplies to them and now is facing getting 30 cents back for each dollar owed, or a retiree who lost your KERIP or KURIP pension benefits – those three dimes can seem very thin indeed, I'm sure. But in the context of Bankrupt America – roughly 239,000 New Yorkers have filed for bankruptcy between 2007 and 2011, according to American Bankruptcy Institute statistics – far too many of us know what it's like to be buried under bills you have no hope of paying and have done much the same thing. Much of what happens with Kodak's payback to its various creditors will depend on how much it gets when it auctions off roughly 1,100 digital imaging patents. An analysis of that value done by a Kodak-hired firm put a price tag of $2.4 billion. One wealth manager whom I've talked to frequently thinks north of $5 billion isn't unreasonable. If the latter turns out to be the case, the likelihood of creditors getting closer to 100 percent – and of Kodak's penny stock rebounding to be worth more than a gumball from the grocery store vending machine – gets all the larger.
