Manganese Poisoning from Welding Rods and the Environment
Welders and others who work or live near construction sites or in industrial areas may be at a greater risk of developing Manganese poisoning or Manganese toxicity, a neurological disorder that closely resembles Parkinson's disease. Links have been made between welding rods, Manganese toxicity, and Manganese poisoning. Studies on welders using welding rods that contain Manganese indicates that there may be a strong link between fumes and dust released while welding and a series of serious injuries and deaths among welders and others exposed to those fumes. Among the groups who are at the greatest risk for Manganese toxicity and Manganese poisoning include welders, railroad workers, miners, and steel workers. Manganese is also present in some pesticides, such as maneb or mancozeb, and in methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese tricarbonyl (MMT), a fuel additive in some gasolines.
Fumes released when Manganese is burned contain several chemicals, including manganese, fluorine, zinc, lead, arsenic, calcium, sulfur, chrome, and nickel. In addition, these fumes also contain the gases carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO²), various nitrogen oxides (NO, NO², and others), and ozone. Each of these chemicals has the potential to harm the body. Of these, Manganese is especially toxic. Medical studies of people who have been exposed to Manganese indicate that "Abnormal and toxic concentrations of Manganese in the brain, especially in the basal ganglia, are associated with neurological disorders similar to Parkinson's disease" (Takeda, 2003) Exposure to high levels of manganese, such as those inhaled by a welder, are known to be harmful to the central nervous system. Manganese poisoning and Manganese toxicity may develop with as little as three months exposure. Symptoms of Manganese neurotoxicity include a shuffling gait, slack facial muscles, speech difficulties (including slurred speech), depression, and general psychological imbalance. A recent clinical study of welders exposed to Manganese found that welders who had developed Parkinson's disease typically began showing symptoms 15 years earlier than typical Parkinson's patients. Doctors are still researching this possible link between welding, manganese, and Parkinson's disease.
Other research has also linked Manganese to serious complications. A Canadian research team found that "chronic exposure to Manganese leads to selective dopaminergic dysfunction, neuronal loss, and gliosis in basal ganglia structures together with characteristic astrocytic changes known as Alzheimer type II astrocytosis (Normandin, 2002)
The risk for Manganese poisoning has been well established. However, these risks of Manganese toxicity have been ignored by the manufacturers of welding rods. We invite you to read the rest of this special report to learn more about the dangers of Manganese exposure, Manganese toxicity and how you can be compensated for any injuries you may have suffered as a result of Manganese toxicity.
Manganism: What is Manganism, Welder's-Disease?
Manganism (AKA welder's-disease) is another name for a collection of symptoms that result from excessive manganese exposure. Manganism has also been called "Parkinson's syndrome" because its symptoms closely resemble those of Parkinson's disease, a devastating and fatal neurological illness. Manganism is also called welder's-disease because of the high incidence in welders and those exposed to the fumes from welding rods.
Incredibly, the health effects of welding and associated manganese exposure have been known for more than 150 years. In 1837, scientists described manganism as a syndrome similar to Parkinson's disease. These first cases of manganism, welder's-disease, appeared in Scottish workers exposed to high levels of dust while grinding "black oxide of manganese" in a chemical plant. Since then, manganism, welder's-disease, has been described in several groups of highly exposed miners and other workers. (Iregren, 1999)
In 1993, the National Institute of Health (NIH) issued a report about manganism, welder's-disease, manganese poisoning. According to the NIH, "Occupational exposure to manganese for periods from 6 months to 2 years can result in manganism, a disease of the central nervous system characterized by psychogenic and neurological disorders with symptoms resembling Parkinson's disease." The NIH report also noted that prolonged manganese exposure had been connected to reduced white blood cell counts, sexual dysfunction and impotence.
To understand welder's-disease (also known as manganism), it helps to understand manganese toxicity. Manganese is one of the most commonly used metals in manufacturing. Although used in several industrial applications, manganese does not occur naturally, but is actually a component of more than 100 minerals, including sulfides, oxides, carbonates, silicates, phosphates and borates. In small amounts, manganese is a necessary element for maintaining good health, including the proper development of growing children. In excessive amounts, however, manganese becomes toxic. Women who are pregnant, or who think they might be pregnant, should avoid manganese exposure at the work place (Gerber, et al 2002).
In the human body, manganese is concentrated mainly in the liver, skeleton, pancreas and brain. Small amounts of manganese are beneficial for human health, and have been shown to have potentially beneficial effects for patients with epilepsy. Manganese has also shown promise in alleviating menstrual symptoms and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). However, too much manganese exposure is harmful. Exposure in the levels experienced by welders and nearby workers is unhealthy and dangerous.
Manganese should not be confused with Magnesium, a mineral that is essential for human nutrition.
Who is at risk for welding rod manganism, welder's-disease?
Recent manganism, welder's-disease, research has focused on the welding rod industry. Welders are apparently at a greater risk of manganese poisoning than most. Thus, manganism is also known as welder's-disease or welding rod disease. However, welding rod use is not the only potential source of manganese exposure. Other workers may also be at risk of manganism. In addition to welding, on-the-job exposure to manganese occurs mainly in mining, alloy production, processing, ferro-manganese operations, and work with agrochemicals (Levy & Nassetta, 2003).
Manganese also enters the air from iron, steel and power plants, coke ovens and from dust in mining operations. Those who are at the greatest risk of this airborne exposure again include welders, along with railroad workers, miners, steel workers, and those who handle pesticides containing maneb and mancozeb. This list is not conclusive, and there are other groups that may be affected. Contact a qualified medical professional for an evaluation if you feel that you have been poisoned by manganese exposure.
Additional research suggests that men may be at greater risk of manganism than women, although effects were also observed in women (Mergler, et al 1999). Men's risk may be greater because they are more likely to have a job that exposes them to higher levels of manganese. Most welders, construction workers and other people in jobs that place them at risk for manganism are men. Obvious symptoms may not develop until after age 50; however, subtle, less noticeable symptoms of manganism may also appear in individuals who are younger and who have experienced prolonged, low-level exposure to manganese.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued a paper connecting manganese poisoning to Parkinson's-like manganism; asthenia, insomnia, mental confusion; metal fume fever, dry throat, coughing, tight chest; dyspnea, rales, flu-like fever; lower-back pain, vomiting, malaise and fatigue.
The Problem
Primary Causes of Manganism Welding rods and other metal materials contain the potentially harmful element manganese. When heated, manganese rods release toxic fumes. The inhalation of these fumes lead to manganese toxicity, a neurological disorder that resembles Parkinson's disease (PD). The National Parkinson's Foundation confirms that occupational exposures to manganese have been linked with clinical parkinsonism. Furthermore, exposure to the combination of manganese and iron, a common mixture in occupational welding environments, has been related to elevated PD risk.
Secondary Causes of Manganism Manganism may also be caused by exposure to dust created by welding rods and other items that contain manganese. Exposure to high levels of airborne manganese, from welding rod fumes or from fumes such as in a manganese foundry or battery plant, can affect motor skills such as holding one's hand steady, performing fast hand movements, and maintaining balance. Exposure to high levels of the manganese toxicity may also cause respiratory problems and sexual dysfunction.
Who is responsible for manganese poisoning settlements?
The makers of welding rods were aware of the problems associated with manganese poisoning—yet they continue to use this potentially harmful element in their products.
Scientists have known about manganese poisoning and the symptoms of manganese poisoning for more than 150 years. Manganese poisoning is one of the most documented of all complications caused by environmental toxins. Manufacturers, however, continue to use manganese in welding rods and other applications. Factory employees who use manganese have also shown symptoms of manganese poisoning, but in many incidences, steps have not been taken to adequately reduce the level manganese exposure in the workplace. Those working with or near welding rods are the people who may be entitled to welding rod litigation settlements.
Welders who have developed Parkinson's disease (or similar symptoms) as a result of manganese poisoning may wish to file a complaint for a possible class action suit seeking manganese settlements. The welding rod litigation suit would allege that welding-supply companies failed to warn employees about thedangers of manganese poisoning, including neurological and central nervous system problems (dangers which have been known since 1837), and that they are responsible for paying manganese poisoning settlements.

What is being done about welding fumes
What is being done about manganese exposure causing manganism?
Researchers are still investigating the link between welding rod fumes and manganism. Welding rod litigation has now begun to help those who suffer the ill health effects of welding and manganese exposure.
Efforts are being made to reduce the risk of environmental manganese exposure. In 1994, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) denied a petition by Ethyl Corporation to allow the use of methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) in unleaded gasoline, because of health concerns related to the inhalation of manganese fumes (Davis, 1999).
Other environmental laws have been enacted to limit manganese exposure and welding fume toxicity. However, some scientists feel that more needs to be done about manganism and welding fumes. Researchers studying the health effects of welding fumes report a "preponderance of proof for manganese neurotoxicity" even in present-day industrial settings (Iregren 1999).
According to the U.S. Department of Labor Mine Safety and Health Administration, Welding Fumes Sampling is required due to the "potential hazards of welding operations including metal fumes, toxic gases, and ultraviolet and infrared radiation. Fume particles are formed from vaporization of molten metal. They are very fine in size, generally one micron or smaller, and may join together to form larger particles. Welding fumes can be sampled by drawing air through a special filter at a controlled rate.
"The adverse health effects of welding exposure include chronic or acute systemic poisoning, metal fume fever (a short-term painful ailment with symptoms of fever and chills), pneumoconiosis (lung disease due to accumulation of mineral or metallic particles), and irritation of the respiratory tract.
"The welding fumes produced at welding operations depend primarily on the composition of the metals being welded and the welding rods. When the base metal is iron or steel, with welding rods of similar composition, the main component of the welding fume will be iron oxide. When welding on stainless steel, welding fumes containing nickel and chromium may be produced. Welding on plated, galvanized or painted metals may generate fumes containing cadmium, zinc oxide or lead. In addition, welding rods can generate fluoride and free silica in the fumes, depending on the composition of the welding rod coating.
"In summary, welding processes may generate many different metal fumes and other toxic components. It is important that the hazards of a welding operation be evaluated properly. Toxic gases that arise in welding include carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxides and ozone. If welding or cutting operations are conducted in the presence of chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as the form of solvents either on the metals or in the air, hazardous concentrations of phosgene and hydrogen chloride, which are highly toxic irritant gases, may be produced.
"In addition to the health hazards of metal welding fumes and toxic gases, welding operations involve the hazard of burns from flame, arc, molten metal, heated surfaces and also that of metal splatter. …When personal respiratory protection is required, this may be provided by a supplied-air welding hood or, when the components and concentration of the fume are known, by a filter-type respirator with filter for protection against welding fumes. It is preferable, of course, that adequate ventilation be provided so as to make the use of respirators unnecessary.
"When sampling for welding fumes, the inspector will use a filter cassette placed on the collar or shoulder so that it is beneath the helmet when the helmet is placed down. The sampling pump is fastened to the belt. Samples [for welding fumes] may be full shift or short-term. Short-term samples may be taken to evaluate toxic [welding fume] components which have short-term limits. In addition, the inspector may sample for toxic gases such as ozone, nitrogen oxides or phosgene. It is important that the welder carry out the welding operation in a normal way, so that an accurate evaluation of the exposure can be made. The inspector will attach and remove the filter cassette and pump as required.
"Normally, good local or general ventilation is required to control exposures to the metal welding fumes and gases of welding operations. The most effective control is local exhaust ventilation in which an exhaust hood is placed near the welding arc or flame, and the 'welding fume contaminants' are drawn away from the welder's breathing zone. The system may consist of moveable exhaust hoods, flexible and stationary ducts, a powered fan, and a welding fume or dust collector. Exhausted air containing welding fumes should be discharged to the outdoors, if possible. It is important that, during the welding operation, the exhaust hoods are placed or set so that welding fumes are not drawn across the worker's face or into the breathing zone. Good general ventilation should be provided. Welding in confined spaces, such as tanks, cabs of mobile equipment and large shovels, may be especially hazardous and require additional ventilation to reduce welding fumes."

What can you do about the health hazards of manganese?
What can you do about the health effects of welding (manganism)?
Tests are available to determine your level of manganese exposure and to assess the possibility of ill health effects of welding. Early diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's syndrome, manganism, health effects of welding, and related neurological disorders is important. While there is no cure for manganism, early diagnosis and treatment can improve the patient's quality of life.
You may qualify for welding rod litigation compensation if you or someone you love has suffered the health effects of welding. Contact a qualified attorney who is familiar with the health hazards of manganese and manganism to discuss your litigation options. Learn the hazardous risks of manganese and manganism? Information from the NIH – Environmental Health Perspectives Volume 106, Number 2, February 1998. Found athttp://ehpnet1.niehs.nih.gov (as of 11/17/2004).
"Public health officials, scientists and regulators worry that a gasoline additive containing manganese, claimed by its maker to boost engine performance, may cause physical harm by increasing the amount of manganese in the air. Ethyl Corporation of Richmond, Virginia, which makes methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT), disputes such worries, and says the manganese emitted into the air when MMT is burned poses no risk to human health.
"The concerns about the additive come as the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ASTDR) is completing a toxicological profile of manganese to assess sources of exposure and the metal's impact on health. The agency is required to prepare such profiles for hazardous substances found at the nation's most serious hazardous waste sites—those on the EPA's National Priorities List of Superfund sites. Of 1,430 sites on the list, 644 (or 45%) have 'excessive levels of manganese,' according to the ATSDR. Excessive levels are those greater than background in the environment.
"A trace element, manganese is an essential part of the diet and can easily be obtained from grains and nuts. Manganese deficiency can lead to bone problems and stunted growth. Excess dietary manganese is simply excreted. A number of studies have shown that occupational exposure to manganese can lead to Parkinson's disease-like symptoms such as muscle tremors.
"Manganese is used to give strength to steel and aluminum. Manganese levels in the air can vary widely, being higher near foundries and metal plants and lower away from such facilities. But it is chronic exposure to manganese compounds emitted in the exhaust of vehicles fueled by MMT-boosted gas that has raised the most concerns.
"Canada banned the import of MMT this year—none of the additive is made there—due to concerns over possible health effects. MMT had been used in Canadian gasoline for nearly 20 years. Ethyl is fighting the ban. A U.S. appeals court in Washington, DC, overturned an EPA ban on MMT in 1995, saying the agency acted illegally by attempting to ban the additive on health grounds under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The court said that under the CAA, the EPA could only consider MMT's effect on engine performance. But California has successfully kept the additive out of unleaded gasoline sold in that state for approximately 20 years because of a 'lack of data on the health effects of breathing manganese,' says Richard Vincent, a spokesman for the California Air Resources Board.
"'Widespread exposure to manganese,' says Michael Davis, senior health scientist and acting chief of the EPA's Hazardous Pollutant Assessment Branch, 'may cause neurological damage, as well as harm to the lungs and the reproductive system. We didn't feel like those areas were adequately evaluated [in considering exposure from MMT],' he says. Davis notes studies that show workers who were occupationally exposed to manganese were subject to pneumonia and coughs. He also cites a 1973 study that suggested an increase in respiratory illnesses in Japanese students living near a factory emitting manganese.
"A draft toxicological profile for manganese prepared by the ATSDR cites studies showing that men occupationally exposed to manganese have impaired fertility as well as impotence and loss of libido. However, data on the health effects of manganese exposure are scanty and inconclusive, according to the profile.
"'Moreover,' says Monica Campbell, a Toronto toxicologist and spokesperson for the Ontario Public Health Association, 'studies of MMT have failed to consider the impact of manganese from MMT on people living near major arterial roads. They are a vulnerable population more exposed to vehicle exhausts,' she says.
"A study of laboratory rats, presented at the Arkansas conference by researchers Hans Tjälve and Jörgen Henriksson of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala, found that, when inhaled through the nose, manganese can enter the brain and reach the spinal column. Says EPA Neuroscientist Kenneth Hudnell, 'This is a whole new route of exposure that hasn't been considered before. It bypasses all protective barriers that we have.'
"And in an EPA-funded study, Donna Mergler, a neurophysiologist at the Université du Québec at Montréal, and colleagues found a relationship between manganese levels in the blood and neuromotor slowing problems in people who lived near, but did not work in, a former manganese alloy production plant. Higher blood manganese levels were also linked to learning and memory problems in men over the age of 50. But the findings from this research are preliminary, cautions Hudnell, who was a researcher on the study. 'It simply points out the need for more research,' he says.
"Donald Lynam, an Ethyl vice president and scientist, takes a different view. Lynam says that MMT adds virtually no manganese to the air. He points to the conclusions of an Ethyl-sponsored study, also presented at the Arkansas conference, that found that MMT's contribution of manganese to the air in Toronto was trivial.
"He further points to a review by the Canadian agency Health Canada that concludes that it is impossible to assess the impact of MMT on manganese in the air. The 1994 review, however, did recommend monitoring for MMT because use of the additive has increased substantially in recent years.
"Ethyl's position on the potential health hazards of manganese generated by MMT is unambiguous. According to a statement on the Ethyl Web site, "[N]o evidence exists suggesting that MMT presents any risk to public health, much less a significant risk."
"Meanwhile, MMT can be and is being added to gasoline in the United States. According to the EPA, MMT was added to 11 million gallons of gasoline during the summer of 1997. That is an extremely small portion of the billions of gallons of gas that are sold each year, according to the agency. But the EPA's concern over the manganese MMT puts into the air isn't assuaged. The agency is still talking with Ethyl Corporation to decide what types of health effects testing it wants done on animals exposed to the manganese generated when MMT is burned in gasoline.
What is Manganism?
Manganism is a central nervous system disease caused by manganese exposure, a toxic element commonly found in welding rod fumes. Symptoms of manganism resemble those of Parkinson's disease, including slurred speech, trembling hands and an unsteady gait.
Can welding rods cause someone to have manganism?
Manganism is caused by long-term exposure to high levels of manganese toxicity, typically as a result of inhaling fumes or dust that contain the material. Frequently, people who work with welding rods, or near people working with welding rods, inhale fumes that contain poisonous manganese materials.
What is the connection between welding rods and manganism?
Welding rods contain a high concentration of manganese toxicity. When heated, the manganese in the welding rod releases toxic fumes that are inhaled by the welder and others who might be nearby. Welders show a higher-than-normal average of manganese exposure and, consequently, manganese poisoning.
I'm not a welder. Am I at risk for manganese poisoning?
Although investigation surrounding manganism has focused on welding rods, there are several other sources of manganese toxicities in the environment. On-the-job manganese exposure occurs mainly in mining, alloy production, processing, ferro-manganese operations, and work with agrochemicals. People living near construction sites, or other locations where welding rods are being used, may also be at risk.
What should I do if I am suffering from welding rod manganism?
Consult your doctor if you believe you may be suffering manganese poisoning. Make sure that your doctor is aware of the similarities between manganism and Parkinson's disease. If you, or someone you love, has been diagnosed with Parkinson's, talk to your doctor about the possibility of manganese exposure. Some doctors may not be aware of the risk associated with manganism. You may wish to consult a specialist who is familiar with manganism, its symptoms and its treatment.
Is there a test for manganese toxicity?
Yes. Doctors working with patients who have manganism can administer a test to determine the extent of manganese poisoning, as well as the likelihood that the illness is the result of manganese exposure.
Can anything be done to cure the health effects of manganism?
Not yet. The disease can, however, be managed to some extent; although, like Parkinson's disease, there is no known cure at this time. Manganism is considered a chronic condition, in that it remains with the sufferer for the rest of his or her life.
What are my welding rod litigation rights on manganese exposure?
Courts have begun to award damages to those plaintiffs who can demonstrate that their health issues are the result of manganese exposure and toxicity.

The Way I See It!
I am an Ultra-Conservative, Alpha-Male, True Authentic Leader, Type "C" Personality, who is very active in my community; whether it is donating time, clothes or money for Project Concern or going to Common Council meetings and voicing my opinions. As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in.
Let's Step Through the Premise and Logic
Okay, first let's review which brought the statements below.
So many people said I was played and may people emailed me that even an idiot can do a Google search. Others tell me, take it down, it is a hoax and you know it so why don't you take it down?
For those I will let you think about it. Think about exposing others for their comments, not just what they say, but how they say it.
Really, I was the one played???? Hmm!!!!
Verbal self-exposer and self-inflected is such a grand thing, as is handling the detractors.
Well on to the Premise and Logic of
http://www.cdc.gov/features/vitalsigns/painkilleroverdoses/ Oxycontin is a MUCH bigger problem. Watch this if you don't believe it. http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/oxycontin-express/
Wow, this is great information. I'm glad it's illegal and safe things like alcohol and tobacco are completely legal. What would we do without you and the rest of the government to save us from ourselves?
One thing you could draw reading the comments in context with the article (missing here so I will state it) they most likely support legalizing Marijuana.
Directly from their comments we can see that they don't think you can fight the drug problem of Marijuana and prescriptions drugs or at least you can draw that they think they are mutually exclusive.
You can also see that they are upset about legal things like alcohol and tobacco and that they are not safe.
So this begs the question and shows how non-logical and illogical they are, if we make Marijuana legal and more readily available will it raise or lower the drug problems with Marijuana?
Or is what they are saying, Marijuana doesn't have a drug problem and it is the fact it is legal which is the issue. I wonder if they would be saying daring to publicly state so with a blog that their current and future employers could see.
So making Marijuana easier to get will make it a bigger problem. Having doctors to quick or easily to prescribe drugs is an issue, as is the lackadaisical attitude that it is just tobacco and alcohol no big deal. Legalize Marijuana and you will see the same thing.
Also did you catch the red herrings and false statements as if I don't think prescriptions drugs are not a problem, that alcohol is not a problem and where tobacco is not a problem. Where do I or where have I made such statements?
Anyways they are weak comparisons just meant to distract from the topic at hand, plus we can fight all of these social issues and not just pick or choose them.

Though the founding of this institution reaches back into the 1920's, here are some
interesting events and milestones in the history of Northeast Community College
as an institution to date.
Northeastern Nebraska College and Northeast Nebraska Technical College merge on
July 1, offering 39 programs of study. Resident tuition and fees for a full-time
student (30 credit hours) is $288 a year. Farm and Ranch Operations Management
was among the first programs offered. The college program began with three students.
(It has over 250 students today.) Intercollegiate athletics include basketball,
wrestling and co-ed golf.
The Utility Line Building, now known as the Arlo Wirth Building, is constructed.
The Student Union opens in the basement of the Complex "B" Building, which is now
known as the Weller Building.
The name Northeast Nebraska Technical Community College (NNTCC) is changed to Northeast
Technical Community College (NTCC) on July 1, 1975. "The change reflects the merging
of two separate colleges: the vocational tech college and the liberal arts college;
and aims to recognize both," said President Dr. Robert Cox. "The name was just too
long and by eliminating the word, Nebraska, all functional words would still be
The Northeast Technical Community College men's basketball team (27-2 under Coach
Chuck Stevenson) defeats Whitworth College to claim the National Little College
Athletic Association (NLCAA) National Championship. The tournament was held in the
Norfolk City Auditorium.
Ground is broken in May for the Science/Agriculture Building. When it opened in
the second semester of the 1977-78 year, the 16,000-square-foot building featured
new classrooms, laboratories and a greenhouse.
"Year of the Anniversaries" observed at Northeast Technical Community College. The
observance was highlighted by the fifth anniversary of NTCC.
Construction begins on the 46,000-square-foot Activities Center. The $1.7-million
"multi-purpose building" features a 2,130-seat gymnasium, a 290-seat theater and
Enrollment at Northeast Technical Community College reached an all-time high of
1,554 students, a seven percent increase over the previous year.
Planning begins to address the need for expanded facilities due to rapidly increasing
enrollments in NTCC's Utility Line and Electrician programs. The Welding and Welding/Machinist
programs begin. The Voice of NTCC, KAYR cable radio, began broadcasting on January
The Board of Governors approves the construction of two, eight unit apartment buildings
for male NTCC students. At the time, the residence hall was only for female students.
Each apartment unit houses four-to-five students.
NTCC marked the 10th anniversary of the merger of Northeastern Nebraska College
and Northeast Nebraska Technical College. Resident tuition and fees for a full-time
student (30 credit hours) is $585 a year. First apartment building constructed.
Intercollegiate athletics include men's basketball and golf and women's basketball
and volleyball.
The new Student Center opens.
NTCC purchases 533 acres of farmland on the Norfolk Regional Center grounds from
the State of Nebraska for use in the College's Agricultural programs. A second,
eight-unit apartment building is constructed.
The college/community concert band held its organizational meeting. The band continues
to perform today. Fire Science program begins.
Enrollment at Northeast Technical Community College increases eight percent over

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Obama has signed a bill that will expand trade with Russia but could antagonize relations with Moscow over its treatment of dissidents.
While welcoming better trade relations, Russia has threatened retaliation over a section of the law that would punish Russian officials who allegedly commit human rights violations. A Russian official suggested sanctions could be imposed on U.S. officials accused of rights violations in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere.
Arizona Sen. John McCain, a main sponsor of the human rights measure, says it will help the Russian people by "sending a signal" to Russian President Vladimir Putin that human rights abuses will not be tolerated.
The law eliminates a 1974 law that tied trade relations with the former Soviet Union to the emigration of Jews and other minorities.

The flavors in this bar were inspired by linzertorte, a classic European dessert originating in Linz, Austria.
Make these fabulous bars ahead of time. Line your pan with aluminum foil, leaving the edge of the foil above the rim of the pan on two opposite sides; grease foil in bottom of pan lightly. Bake bars as directed. When cool, use foil "handles" to remove the whole square from the pan. Wrap airtight and freeze. Before serving, unwrap and let stand about one hour until room temperature.
Apricot lovers can use apricot preserves instead of raspberry and ground almonds instead of the walnuts for variety with this delicious recipe.

My wife and I used to drink English breakfast style teas often (nothing remotely close high quality) and we quickly zeroed in on the taste we enjoyed the most. When we tried brewing some tea at my dad's house, it tasted horrible.
Come to find out, he adds salts/chemicals to the water supply to soften the water (supposedly helps smooth hair while showering or something along those lines). If his soft water altered the taste of hardy teas like English breakfasts, lapsang souchongs, assams, etc., can you imagine what it would do to a fresh green oolong? Or a longjing? Forget about it.
Needless to say, we've been bringing our own water ever since ...
Haha thanks for the tip. Next time I travel I'll definitely keep that in mind and make sure I bring some water from home. I wonder if different kinds of water can bring out a unique or desirable flavor from the tea.

A pheochromocytoma (fee-o-kroe-moe-sy-TOE-muh) is a rare, usually noncancerous (benign) tumor that develops in cells in the center of an adrenal gland. You have two adrenal glands, one above each kidney. Your adrenal glands produce hormones that give instructions to virtually every organ and tissue in your body.
If you have a pheochromocytoma, an adrenal gland releases hormones that cause persistent or episodic high blood pressure. If left untreated, a pheochromocytoma can result in severe or life-threatening damage to other body systems, especially the cardiovascular system.
Most people with a pheochromocytoma are between the ages of 20 and 50, but the tumor can develop at any age. Surgical treatment to remove a pheochromocytoma usually returns blood pressure to normal.
Signs and symptoms of pheochromocytomas often include:
Less common signs or symptoms may include:
These signs and symptoms often occur in brief spells of 15 to 20 minutes. Spells can happen several times a day or less often. Your blood pressure may be within the normal range or remain elevated between spells.
Spells may occur spontaneously or may be triggered by such factors as:
Foods high in tyramine, a substance that affects blood pressure, also can trigger a spell. Tyramine is common in foods that are fermented, aged, pickled, cured, overripe or spoiled. These foods may include:
Certain medications that can trigger a symptomatic spell include:
The signs and symptoms of pheochromocytoma can be caused by a number of different conditions. Therefore, it's important to get a prompt diagnosis.
Although high blood pressure is a primary sign of a pheochromocytoma, most people with high blood pressure don't have an adrenal tumor. Talk to your doctor if any of the following factors are relevant to you:
Researchers don't know exactly what causes the development of a pheochromocytoma. They do understand that the tumor develops in specialized cells, called chromaffin cells, located in the center of an adrenal gland. These cells produce and release certain hormones, primarily adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine).
Adrenaline and noradrenaline are hormones that normally function as the trigger for your body's fight-or-flight response to a perceived threat. The hormones prompt higher blood pressure, a faster heart rate and a boost in other body systems that enable you to react quickly with a burst of energy. A pheochromocytoma results in the irregular and excessive release of these hormones.
While most chromaffin cells reside in the adrenal glands, small clusters of these cells are also located in the heart, head, neck, bladder, back wall of the abdomen and along the spine. Tumors in these chromaffin cells, called paragangliomas, may result in the same effects on the body.
People with rare inherited disorders have an increased risk of developing a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma, and tumors associated with these disorders are more likely to be cancerous. These genetic conditions include the following:
High blood pressure can damage multiple organs, particularly tissues of the cardiovascular system, brain and kidneys. If left untreated, high blood pressure associated with pheochromocytomas may result in a number of critical conditions, including:
Rarely, a pheochromocytoma is cancerous (malignant), and the cancerous cells spread to other parts of the body (metastasize). Cancerous cells from a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma most often migrate to the lymph system, bones, liver or lungs.
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. However, you may then be referred to a doctor who specializes in hormonal disorders (endocrinologist).
Before your appointment, make a list that includes the following:
Your doctor will take a history of your symptoms and conduct a general medical examination. Questions that you should be prepared to discuss include the following:
Your doctor may order a number of tests.
Your doctor will likely order the following tests that measure levels of adrenaline, noradrenaline or byproducts of those hormones in your body:
If the results of laboratory tests indicate the possibility of a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma, your doctor will order one or more imaging tests to locate a possible tumor. These tests may include:
A tumor in an adrenal gland may be discovered incidentally during imaging studies conducted for other reasons. In such cases, your doctor would order additional tests to determine the nature of the tumor.
Your doctor may recommend genetic tests to determine if a pheochromocytoma is related to an inherited disorder. Information about possible genetic factors can be important for a number of reasons:
Ask your doctor about genetic counseling services that can help you understand the benefits and implications of genetic testing.
The primary treatment for a pheochromocytoma is surgery to remove the tumor. Before you undergo surgery, your doctor will prescribe medications to stabilize your blood pressure and lower the risk of complications during surgery.
You will likely take two different drugs for a period of seven to 10 days that help lower blood pressure before surgery.
In most cases, the entire adrenal gland with a pheochromocytoma is removed with laparoscopic, or minimally invasive, surgery. Your surgeon will make a few small openings through which he or she inserts wand-like devices equipped with video cameras and small tools.
The remaining healthy adrenal gland carries out the functions normally performed by two, and blood pressure usually returns to normal.
In some unusual situations, such as when the other adrenal gland has already been removed, a surgery may be considered to extract only the tumor and spare some of the healthy tissue.
If a tumor is cancerous (malignant), surgery may be effective only if the tumor and any metastasized tissues are isolated. However, even if all of the cancerous tissues are not removed, surgery may limit hormone production and provide some control of blood pressure.
As cancer is rare among cases of pheochromocytoma, the research about the best treatments is still relatively limited. Treatments for malignant tumors and metastasized cancer related to a pheochromocytoma may include the following:

What is a heart-healthy breakfast?
DEAR PEGGY: I need a little help in making heart-healthy recipes. I have switched to wheat bread for me and white wheat for my husband and skim milk for me and 1% for him. I'm reading the back of canned foods a lot now. But the hardest meal is breakfast. We love eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. I've tried turkey bacon and sausage, and my husband did not like them. We are eating cereal and some oatmeal and multigrain breakfast bars. Any direction or guidance you provide will be much appreciated. —D.H., Washington, North Carolina
It sounds like you've taken some great steps in the right direction by boosting fiber, choosing low-fat dairy products and presumably checking out the sodium on canned food labels. Coming up with heart-healthy breakfast foods can be difficult when you're used to traditional bacon and eggs for breakfast. Here are a few suggestions:
Heart-smart breakfast burritos
Scramble a combination of whole eggs and egg whites with veggies. Spoon into a whole wheat tortilla, sprinkle with a modest amount of reduced-fat cheese, some diced tomatoes and a dollop of reduced-fat or fat-free sour cream then roll up. There are many brands of whole-wheat tortillas on the market now, so if you don't like one, try a different brand.
Open-faced egg sandwich
Again, scramble a combination of whole eggs and egg whites with veggies. Spoon over toasted whole wheat English muffin halves, sprinkle with a modest amount of reduced-fat shredded cheese and broil until the cheese is melted.
Variations on oatmeal
Cooked oatmeal can get boring, even with different mix-ins and toppings. To get those cholesterol-lowering oats with more variety, look for a low-fat baked oatmeal recipe or homemade granola. You can add some dried fruit for added sweetness and serve the granola over reduced-fat yogurt or eat like cereal with milk. Try this delicious recipe for Quick Stovetop Granola from Taste of Home.
Cold cereal combo
This is a simple suggestion, but sometimes just combining different types of cold cereal is a nice change of pace. I like to mix a really high-fiber cereal (not so tasty alone) with one that has a touch of sweetness.
Center-cut bacon
Since your husband just can't give up the bacon and he won't eat turkey bacon, try center-cut bacon; it's even leaner than turkey bacon.

I have a one year old who still wakes about every 2 hours at night. Some nights he will wake every hour, some nights he will latch on and not let go without waking up. Except for the couple of times we have traveled to another time zone, he has never slept for more than 3 hours at a time. Although I really enjoy cosleeping and having my son next to me at night, I am wondering if moving him into his own room will allow both us to get more sleep at night. I would love ideas or thoughts about this age and sleeping. Thanks so much.
No announcement yet.

A couple of thoughts
-although his own room might be nice in a bit, I think a drastic switch without small steps might be too much.
--maybe offer water instead
--sleep next to daddy (no milk in his ta tas)
--put him in a bed (futon on floor, toddler bed) in your room. Nurse him down there and after he wakes up go back and nurse him there, then go back to your own bed.
---How does he sleep for nap?
Let us know how it is going!
Hi there! I had similar thoughts myself recently, and then, suddenly, my 19-month-old slept through the night. She's done this maybe 1/3 of the time since then. I think 1 is probably too young for him to be able to do this, but it might be helpful to put him to sleep in his own space but then bring him into your bed whenever he wakes up.
I totally hear your concerns--there are some nights that I feel really irritated by the nursing and think about nightweaning. But I also think that the nights she nurses the most are nights when she's had a big day and needs some extra TLC. And I am ever so grateful for the benefits of nighttime nursing that allowed me to provide all of her nutrition needs for a really long time despite working well over full time out of the home for the first year of her life.
Anyways, I've tried to deal with my frustrations with the nighttime sucking by remembering the things I am grateful for and knowing that the day will come when she is ready to stop nursing at night.
Wishing you a restful night,

I tried this when my son was 13 months, he transitioned to a crib fine but continued to wake up 3-4 times a night, which just meant more work for me, having to go to his room and get him, nurse him (with me awake) then put him back in his crib. I tried this for 3-4 months and he just kept waking up that often! He is 26 months and still gets up 1-2 times a night even though he just stopped nursing, I was hoping that when he stopped nursing he would wake up less!! No such luck so far!!
Thank you so much for all the input...
I guess I don't mind so much the waking up a lot at night, what is really getting to me is that I can't move away from my son once he's alseep again. Nine out of 10 times, he wakes up and wants to latch back on. We have a twin bed in our room next to our bed, which is where my son naps. He usually naps really well (just not today)...2-3 hours twice a day (unless we are out running errands). I have often wondered if the difference between naps and nighttime is that I typically don't go into my room once he is asleep for his nap. At night, if I go to bed more than about 30-45 minutes after I lay him down, he immediately wakes up. I know he isn't ready to night wean, and I don't really want to, however I have found myself thinking about it lately. I suppose I should also mention that he is currently trying to cut 2 molars, is working hard on walking, and might even be trying to say some words. SO, I do realize the waking often at night could have something to do with all of those things. Considering this is my first child, I don't really know what to expect...

The evenings have gotten better. Every now and then she doesn't want to let me go, but it's much less frequent than before.
Putting my son in his own space was successful for two nights...he only woke up 2-3 times rather than 6-8 times, however, since then, we are up about every hour *sigh*. Everyone tells me it will get better...somedays it takes everything in me to trust that.

On those times when my son MUST be touching me while he sleeps, I nurse him to sleep in the computer chair or in the living room etc.... and still try to have a normalish night doing other stuff. Sometimes hubby is watching some silly movie rerun and I can give him to him to hold him.
When my first son was young I could nurse him and still fall asleep. My second son is a different style of nurser, a little rougher, so it is almost impossible to sleep at the same time.
I do remember them both being bothered by movement a lot so then I put them on another surface nearby (toddler bed) untill I went to sleep. If you purposefully make movement at times, that will be the 'norm' so when you get up you baby may think nothing of it. The same with noise......
Anyway, just some thoughts. I don't have it totally figured out either. Babies don't care about our long term night schedule goals!
edug8trmom- how old is your baby?
My son just turned a year. I had tried to purposely not be quiet when he was younger, but he is such a light sleeper that even the door opening in the bedroom wakes him up, so I abandoned the idea so he could sleep. He sleeps with white noise on during the day for his naps so that I can accomplish a few chores around the house while he sleeps.
I've noticed with my son (19m) that he is now sleeping more solidly through the night. For the longest time, I felt the night nursing would NEVER end, and I felt like I was a human pacifier. I was always hesitant to night wean, however, because I was WOHM, and I knew that time was important to him. But, as I said, over the past couple months, the sleep time is more solid, more predictable. There are some nights he doesn't even nurse down anymore, but is simply content to snuggle up in the spoon position.
As Adrienne said, it does improve, and especially as your Little One gets closer to a year and a half vs just a year old.

By PATSY STODDARDStaff, Emery County Progress
The commissioners met in their regularly scheduled meeting on Nov. 20. Those present were Commissioners Randy Johnson, Ira Hatch and Drew Sitterud. Also in attendance were Sheriff Lamar Guymon, County Attorney Dave Blackwell and Carol Cox recorded the meeting.
Chairman Hatch invited Paula Wellnitz to begin the meeting with prayer and Sheriff Guymon led those present in the pledge of allegiance. The first item of business was citizen concerns. Rosann Fillmore from the economic development office asked the commissioners for a tax abatement on the newly acquired house which was donated to the Emery County Foundation. Commissioner Johnson said that an abatement for this year's taxes would be appropriate to help them get their feet on the ground. This abatement was not a permanent one though but up for review each year.
Commissioner Hatch explained that the foundation's offices would be moved to the new house and that the house would also be used for various activities. The motion was made, seconded and carried to abate the taxes for 2001. The next item on the agenda was the approval of the safe communities grant.
The next item was the request to relocate the power poles on the North Elmo Highway. Craig Johansen of Johansen and Tuttle Engineering discussed the proposal with the commissioners. It was brought out that a formal request is required from the commissioners and an entry in the minutes of a commissioners meeting is required in order for Utah Power to begin the relocation process. Johansen pointed out that along this portion of road 31 poles must be moved back. This relocation of power poles in addition to the moving back of fences and water lines must take place along this corridor in advance of any road work.
Rex Funk of the road department mentioned a meeting the North Emery Water Users Special Service District held with the property owners along this corridor. The process has begun to get right-of-way easements. Funk said the only controversy was some trees which were in the way. Those along the road were anxious for road improvements, but mentioned that with an improved road vehicle speed along the road would increase which concerned residents.
It was also mentioned that telephone lines will also need to be moved and the telephone company should be contacted immediately about this move.
The next item discussed was the contract with Bureau of Land Management for access to cross BLM land with the sewer line to the new public safety complex. Commissioner Hatch signed the agreement which will be sent back to BLM.
The next item discussed was the handicap approach to the courthouse. Work will be done on this to make it wheelchair accessible and come into compliance.
Commissioners introduced Larry Young to the meeting. He is with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. Young said, "My wife Christine and I are here in the area visiting. We wanted to take the time to get to know the people and the land. My wife always asks me why we can't agree on stuff. We are going hiking and we had breakfast with Kent Petersen. We just wanted to get a feel for the Emery County folks."
Commissioner Hatch thanked them for coming and attending the meeting. Young said they would have to do a SUWA board meeting down here sometime.
Commissioner Sitterud updated those present on his trip to the Utah Association of Counties meeting which he attended with Pat Snowball, personnel director. He mentioned that the meetings were informative and that in the insurance meeting they spoke of drastic increases in insurance costs.
Commissioner Johnson mentioned that UAC was well attended and that the counties statewide want to unite against the centrally assessed properties and be unified in dealing with the problem.

Southwest rolled out a fare sale this afternoon in which the price of its flights are based on distance.
Bargain hunters can snag round-trip fares as low as $98 on short routes, with longer flights costing incrementally more. Regardless of the length of the flight, however, deal-seekers will have to act fast to lock in those prices. Southwest's sale runs only through the end of the day Thursday (Feb. 7).
Southwest's distance-based sale prices — which also are offered on subsidiary AirTran — break down as follows:
- $49 each way (500 miles or less)
- $89 each way (501 to 1,000 miles)
- $119 each way (1,001 to 1,500 miles)
- $149 each way (More than 1,500 miles)
That pricing puts round-trip fares at less than $100 on dozens of Southwest and AirTran city pairs. Among the sub-$100 options: are Atlanta-St. Louis; Baltimore-Boston; Chicago-Minneapolis; Denver-Albuquerque; Houston-Dallas; Las Vegas-Oakland and Los Angeles-Phoenix;
As for the fine print, the sale covers nonstop flights from April 3 through June 8. The cheapest sale fares will disappear from flights as they begin to sell out. All Sunday flights are excluded. Systemwide blackout dates are May 10, 17, 23-24 and 27-28. In New England, April 12-13 and 15-16 are blacked out for flights at Boston, Providence and Manchester, N.H.
Tickets must be purchased Thursday by 11:59 p.m. in the time zone of the originating city.

Hi..I'm Judy Pancoast and I'm brand new to this forum. I am the composer and performer on the song, "The House on Christmas Street." I am an independent children's artist and my song has taken on a life of its own as it is being used in light shows at homes all over the world. I don't know how it all got started, but the first time I found out about it was in late 2006 when my husband found a video of a house online, and the house was "playing my song!"
If you go to youtube.com and type in "House on Christmas Street" you will see some of the videos and their beautiful displays and hear my song.
I am hoping my song will one day become a perennial Christmas hit. If you haven't heard it, please check out the videos on youtube.
Thank you for letting me tell you about it!
