Winter storm moves out; Cleanup begins
White-out conditions stop traffic in Nebraska, Iowa
A persistent winter storm fueled by strong winds has moved out of the area, but it left behind an almost unexpected mess.
-- Send snow photos to firstname.lastname@example.com
-- See Nebraska road conditions
More than half a foot of snow blankets parts of the KETV NewsWatch 7 viewing area, and some are reporting even higher amounts.
The snow brought traffic to a standstill on major roadways Sunday, and churches and schools were calling off scheduled events.
Authorities are discouraging travel in eastern Nebraska and much of Iowa western Iowa as a late-winter storm heads east.
Portions of Iowa Highway 141 and U.S. highways 59, 30 and 20 in western Iowa were reported impassable on Monday. But Interstates 80 and 29 are open for traffic.
Sections of both interstates were closed for a time on Sunday as heavy snow was blown by strong winds, creating whiteout in many spots. Officials reported several multiple-car accidents Sunday along a 200-mile stretch of Interstate 80 that runs east and west through the two states.
Authorities in Nebraska blamed the weather for at least one fatality. The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office said 22-year-old Justin Muhm lost control of his southbound vehicle Sunday on icy Nebraska Highway 43 near Bennet.
With the winter storm now out of the region, quieter weather is expected this week. Cooler highs are forecast until Thursday, where some areas could see 60-degree temps.

When you upgrade servers that participate in a replication setup, the procedure for upgrading depends on the current server versions and the version to which you are upgrading. This section provides information about how upgrading affects replication. For general information about upgrading MySQL, see Upgrading MySQL
When you upgrade a master to 5.7 from an earlier MySQL release series, you should first ensure that all the slaves of this master are using the same 5.7.x release. If this is not the case, you should first upgrade the slaves. To upgrade each slave, shut it down, upgrade it to the appropriate 5.7.x version, restart it, and restart replication. Relay logs created by the slave after the upgrade are in 5.7 format.
Changes affecting operations in strict SQL mode
STRICT_TRANS_TABLES or
STRICT_ALL_TABLES) may result in
replication failure on an updated slave. For example, as of MySQL
5.7.2, the server restricts insertion of a
DEFAULT value of 0 for temporal data types in
strict mode. If you use statement-based logging
binlog_format=STATEMENT), if a
slave is upgraded before the master, the nonupgraded master will
execute statements without error that may fail on the slave and
replication will stop. To deal with this, stop all new statements
on the master and wait until the slaves catch up. Then upgrade the
slaves. Alternatively, if you cannot stop new statements,
temporarily change to row-based logging on the master
binlog_format=ROW) and wait
until all slaves have processed all binary logs produced up to the
point of this change. Then upgrade the slaves.
After the slaves have been upgraded, shut down the master, upgrade it to the same 5.7.x release as the slaves, and restart it. If you had temporarily changed the master to row-based logging, change it back to statement-based logging. The 5.7 master is able to read the old binary logs written prior to the upgrade and to send them to the 5.7 slaves. The slaves recognize the old format and handle it properly. Binary logs created by the master subsequent to the upgrade are in 5.7 format. These too are recognized by the 5.7 slaves.
In other words, when upgrading to MySQL 5.7, the slaves must be MySQL 5.7 before you can upgrade the master to 5.7. Note that downgrading from 5.7 to older versions does not work so simply: You must ensure that any 5.7 binary log or relay log has been fully processed, so that you can remove it before proceeding with the downgrade.
Some upgrades may require that you drop and re-create database objects when you move from one MySQL series to the next. For example, collation changes might require that table indexes be rebuilt. Such operations, if necessary, are detailed at Changes in MySQL 5.7. It is safest to perform these operations separately on the slaves and the master, and to disable replication of these operations from the master to the slave. To achieve this, use the following procedure:
Stop all the slaves and upgrade them. Restart them with the
--skip-slave-startoption so that they do not connect to the master. Perform any table repair or rebuilding operations needed to re-create database objects, such as use of
REPAIR TABLEor
ALTER TABLE, or dumping and reloading tables or triggers.
Disable the binary log on the master. To do this without restarting the master, execute a
SET sql_log_bin = OFFstatement. Alternatively, stop the master and restart it without the
--log-binoption. If you restart the master, you might also want to disallow client connections. For example, if all clients connect using TCP/IP, enable the
skip_networkingsystem variable when you restart the master.
With the binary log disabled, perform any table repair or rebuilding operations needed to re-create database objects. The binary log must be disabled during this step to prevent these operations from being logged and sent to the slaves later.
Re-enable the binary log on the master. If you set
OFFearlier, execute a
SET sql_log_bin = ONstatement. If you restarted the master to disable the binary log, restart it with
--log-bin, and without enabling the
skip_networkingsystem variable so that clients and slaves can connect.
Restart the slaves, this time without the
If you are upgrading an existing replication setup from a version
of MySQL that does not support global transaction identifiers to a
version that does, you should not enable GTIDs on either the
master or the slave before making sure that the setup meets all
the requirements for GTID-based replication. For example
server_uuid, which was added in
MySQL 5.6, must exist for GTIDs to function correctly. See
Section 2.3.4, "Setting Up Replication Using GTIDs", which contains
information about converting existing replication setups to use
GTID-based replication.
When the server is running with global transaction identifiers
(GTIDs) enabled (

gtid_mode=ON), if
your dump file includes system tables.
mysqldump issues DML instructions for the
system tables which use the non-transactional MyISAM storage
engine, and this combination is not permitted when GTIDs are
enabled. Also be aware that loading a dump file from a server with
GTIDs enabled, into another server with GTIDs enabled, causes
different transaction identifiers to be generated.

A Special Holocaust Survivor
The Yeshiva was founded in 1930 by the rabbi of Lublin, Rabbi Meir Shapiro, who is also remembered as the founder of the Daf Yomi learning program. The Nazis occupied the building when they invaded Poland in 1939, stripped the interior and burned the vast library in the city square. After the war it was used by a medical school but was returned to the Jewish community in 2004. The above-mentioned ceremony took place when renovations on the building were completed and a synagogue was made available for the small local Jewish community and Jewish visitors passing through.
For Friedenson this was another milestone in his personal triumph over the Nazis who killed so many of his Yeshiva colleagues. Many survivors will never forget how the young Friedenson entertained them in the liberated concentration camp with a brilliant imitation of the dead Feuhrer whose demagogic speeches were constantly broadcast in the camp.
Hitler is dead but Chachmei Lublin and this special survivor live on.

The Trump administration's new budget blueprint aims to quantify the president's nationalistic agenda in dollars and cents. The plan, released Thursday morning, calls for significant increases in military and border-security spending, along with corresponding cuts in many other parts of the government.
The blueprint was designed to "send a message to our allies and our potential adversaries that this is a strong-power administration," Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney explained on Wednesday as he previewed the document in a briefing with reporters.
It also sends a clear message domestically: This administration is willing to make drastic, controversial cuts to fund that "strong-power" message. That includes slashing spending on foreign aid and the environment, as well as long-standing programs aimed at boosting the arts and humanities, as well as the fortunes of the most vulnerable Americans. The question now is how much the Republican-controlled Congress will go along with that vision.
Like any White House budget, Trump's blueprint is more of a political document than an accurate predictor of government spending. Congress controls the purse strings and lawmakers may have very different priorities. As a statement of presidential intention, though, the blueprint is crystal clear.
"This is the America First budget," said Mulvaney Wednesday. "In fact, we wrote it using the president's own words. We went through his speeches. We went through articles that have been written about his policies ... and we turned those policies into numbers."
"There's no question this is a hard-power budget," Mulvaney also said Wednesday. "It is not a soft-power budget. This is a hard-power budget. And that was done intentionally."
Trump wants lawmakers to boost military spending in the coming fiscal year by 10 percent, or $54 billion. Rather than raise taxes or increase the deficit, the president is calling for equivalent cuts in other areas. Foreign aid would be especially hard hit, with the State Department's budget cut by about 28 percent.
Alongside Defense, the agencies for which the White House proposes spending increases are almost entirely military- and national security-related. The Department of Homeland Security would see a hike in funding of 6.8 percent, as would the Department of Veterans Affairs (5.9 percent) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (11.3 percent).
"The president ran [his campaign] saying he would spend less money overseas and more money back home," Mulvaney said Wednesday. "When you go to implement that policy, you go to things like foreign aid, and those get reduced."
Critics argue the administration's single-minded focus on hard power is short-sighted, and could ultimately be detrimental to national security. They point to past comments from Defense Secretary James Mattis, a retired Marine general, who once told lawmakers, "If you don't fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition, ultimately."
The White House blueprint does not address major safety net programs such as Social Security and Medicare, which the president has promised to protect. But Trump is calling for sharp cuts in discretionary spending, including the Environmental Protection Agency.
The administration is proposing cutting the EPA's budget by 31 percent, from $8.3 billion in fiscal year 2017 to $5.7 billion in fiscal year 2018. That's the largest cut among all Cabinet departments and major agencies.
The budget says that slash in funding is necessary "to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose significant costs for workers and consumers without justifiable environmental benefits."
Instead of carrying out many of its current functions, the agency would "primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21st Century," the document adds.
The EPA's new administrator, Scott Pruitt, is a longtime critic of what he sees as the agency's activist agenda. He and the president have both promised to scale back environmental regulation, including efforts to curb carbon pollution and promote alternative energy. Last week, Pruitt reiterated his doubts that carbon emissions are a primary contributor to climate change. That puts him at odds with the overwhelming scientific consensus.
Climate research at NASA could also take a hit under Trump's budget. The plan would reduce overall spending at NASA by around 1 percent, Mulvaney said, but would increase spending on space exploration, which Trump supports.
"We're not spending money on this anymore. We consider that a waste of your money," Mulvaney said about climate change research as he took questions from White House reporters at Thursday's afternoon press briefing.
In addition, funding for the National Institutes of Health would fall by 18 percent, or $5.8 billion. That cut involves "a major reorganization of NIH's Institutes and Centers," including closing some of those centers, "to help focus resources on the highest priority research."
In a speech to a joint session of Congress last month, Trump promised to bring renewed hope and opportunity to what he called "our neglected inner cities." The Department of Housing and Urban Development will not be the vehicle for that effort, though.
"We've spent a lot of money on housing and urban development over the last decades without a lot to show for it," Mulvaney said Wednesday. He added that Trump prefers to invest in cities' infrastructure and school choice.
"Nobody's going to get kicked out of their houses," Mulvaney told reporters Thursday afternoon, reiterating that many of the HUD cuts were related to infrastructure and would be addressed in the massive infrastructure plan the president wants to implement.
The president's plan calls for a 6 percent increase in spending by the Department of Homeland Security, including $2.6 billion to begin work on a planned border wall. The White House is also asking Congress to devote $1.5 billion to the wall in the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30.
Trump claimed throughout the campaign that he would get Mexico to pay for the wall, but Mulvaney said Thursday afternoon that, "as to the source of funds, that's up to the president, the Treasury and the State Department" and wouldn't commit to getting the funds from Mexico.
Leading Democrats on Capitol Hill slammed Trump's budget blueprint as wrongheaded. "President Trump is not making anyone more secure with a budget that hollows out our economy and endangers working families," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, of California, said in a statement, adding, "The budget is a statement of values, and President Trump has shown he does not value the future of children and working families." The Senate's top Democrat was more direct: "Democrats in Congress will emphatically oppose these cuts & urge our Republican colleagues to reject them as well," Sen. Charles Schumer, of New York, said on Twitter.
The two Republican Hill leaders were supportive of the blueprint but both signaled a long process lay ahead. "I welcome the president's blueprint for next year's budget, which turns the page from the last eight years," House Speaker Paul Ryan, of Wisconsin, said in a statement, adding that he looked forward to "reviewing this with the Appropriations Committee and our entire conference." Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky, said he "pleased to see an increased focus on our national security and veterans budgets," calling them "positive steps in the right direction," according to the Washington Examiner. But McConnell added he looked forward "to reviewing this and the full budget when it is released later this spring."
Among all the proposed spending hikes and cuts, some areas would see spending cuts of 100 percent. The administration wants to eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Together, the two groups receive about $300 million annually.
Trump also wants to eliminate funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which helps to finance public radio and television stations. CPB received $445 million in the current fiscal year.
Several of these eliminated programs aim to help the poorest Americans. The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps people pay utility bills and weatherize their homes. And the Community Development Block Grant, a part of HUD, helps support affordable housing and infrastructure (among many other things).
Grants to Meals on Wheels would also likely be eliminated as part of the cuts to the Community Development Block Grant program, and Mulvaney defended those cuts Thursday afternoon, claiming the block granting program was "not showing any results."
Pressed on whether cutting back or eliminating altogether programs that help the poor was not being compassionate toward people who needed help the most, Mulvaney said that passing this budget was "one of the most compassionate things we can do" because it was being compassionate toward taxpayers who are funding those programs.
The budget also proposes eliminating the Appalachian Regional Commission, which promotes economic development in the region stretching from northern Mississippi to western New York. Many counties in that swath heavily supported Trump in November.
NPR intern Maya Fitzpatrick contributed to this report.
President Trump unveiled a budget blueprint, his vision for how he wants the federal government to spend its money. While Congress is certain to make substantial changes to the proposal, the White House wish list does offer a window into the president's priorities. That includes more money for defense and border security and less money for just about everything else. NPR's Scott Horsley reports.
SCOTT HORSLEY, BYLINE: Budget director Mick Mulvaney says the spending blueprint the White House issued today is an effort to turn Trump's America first campaign rhetoric into hard numbers. It calls for a $54 billion increase next year in military spending. Mulvaney says that would be partially offset by an $11 billion cut at the State Department, with much of that coming out of foreign aid and U.N. peacekeeping.
MICK MULVANEY: There is no question this is a hard power budget. It is not soft power budget. The president very clearly wants to send a message to our allies and our potential adversaries that this is a strong power administration.
HORSLEY: Critics call the proposed cutbacks shortsighted. Liz Schrayer, who leads the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, has enlisted dozens of retired generals and admirals to make the case for continued diplomacy and development.
LIZ SCHRAYER: Military leaders frankly across the country will say hard power alone will not keep America safe.
HORSLEY: Here at home, the president's plan calls for somewhat increased spending on Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security, including $2.6 billion next year for work on Trump's border wall. Just about every other federal department would see a cut - 13 percent less money for Housing and Urban Development, 16 percent less for Health and Human Services and 21 percent less for the Department of Agriculture. Sharon Parrott of the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities says the president's plan would push domestic discretionary spending to its lowest level in decades.
SHARON PARROTT: Interestingly, many of the cuts would really affect in a very negative way some of the very people and communities that the Trump administration has said are a priority - workers left out by today's economy and distressed urban and rural communities that the president has talked about quite a lot.
HORSLEY: The deepest cut proportionally would come at the Environmental Protection Agency, where Trump wants to slash spending by 31 percent. His plan would eliminate federal money for Great Lakes restoration and cleanup of the Chesapeake Bay. It would also end the EPA's effort to reduce carbon pollution from power plants and all the agency's climate research.
ANGELA ANDERSON: This is a real head-in-the-sand kind of budget.
HORSLEY: Angela Anderson directs the climate and energy program for the Union of Concerned Scientists.
ANDERSON: If the government decides to stop doing research on climate change, that doesn't change the fact that we are moving inexorably towards a future that is warmer temperatures, more erratic weather patterns. So we can pretend that doesn't exist, but it's pretty penny wise and pound foolish.
HORSLEY: Ultimately it's Congress that controls the federal checkbook, so the White House blueprint is really just a statement of principles. Veteran budget watcher Stan Collender of Qorvis Communications notes the president's plan doesn't even address tax revenues or the big safety net programs like Social Security and Medicare.
STAN COLLENDER: Calling it a budget is giving it more credit than it's due. This is nothing more than a press release coming from the White House masquerading as a government document.
HORSLEY: Congressional Democrats were predictably quick to criticize Trump's spending priorities, but Collender says the proposed cutbacks are also getting a chilly reception from members of the president's own party.
COLLENDER: Some of the biggest opposition to the Trump plan that was released today has come from Republicans. I mean keep in mind that a lot of what was in the Trump plan today are things that have survived multiple rounds of budget cutting over the last decade or so. And if they've survived this long, they're almost certainly very politically popular on Capitol Hill.
HORSLEY: That includes programs like the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which helps to supports NPR member stations. Trump's plan calls for eliminating all of those. Collender says lawmakers are more likely to increase domestic spending along with the military budget and put any additional cost on the government's credit card.

The art of pairing

A matchmaker is trained to ask the right questions to get to the heart of who you are and what you're looking for. - John Lucas
At a Starbucks in Ottawa, a neat, attractive man pays for his coffee, scouts for an empty table for two and sits. He looks around with interest - he's waiting for someone. He knows what she looks like because he's seen her picture on the online dating site, Lavalife. He knows what to expect.
At least, that's what he thinks. Instead, a woman he's never seen before tentatively walks over to him. "Hi, Alexander," she says. "I'm supposed to meet you for coffee?" His confusion is understandable, she quickly adds, because of her online profile photo. It's not her - clearly it's not her. She used a picture from a magazine rather than her own image, adding lamely, "because I'm shy." For Alexander, shy or a liar added up to pretty much the same thing. He walked out.
"With online dating, you find all sorts of people who tell mistruths. It takes a lot of energy to deal with. It's not just going through a divorce, the healing, finding someone and the time that takes," says the divorced 51-year-old office manager. "It's the time it takes to find the time to date. It really is emotionally stressful."
So much so that, like an increasing number of professionals who have the money and interest but not the time to look for a committed relationship, he hired a professional matchmaker to do the legwork for him.
Seven years after his first-ever match, he is still with his partner.
"I tried online a few times. I'd be there for a few weeks, then meet someone socially, go back online. I remember my grandmother used to say that, back then, you could only marry someone as far away as you could ride a horse for a day. With online, the market is much larger, yet it's very superficial and there's very little honesty. Matchmaking exposed me to a specific market. Here's the product - me - and here's the market."
As anyone who's been burned by online dating can attest, it's something of a crapshoot. Aside from those who lie about their age, weight, height and whether or not jail time counts as a deal-breaker, the massive "marketplace" represented by online dating is not necessarily making 25 per cent of Canadians who've tried it any happier. "The ways online dating sites typically implement the services of access, communication and matching do not always improve romantic outcomes; indeed, they sometimes undermine such outcomes," noted Northwestern University psychologist Eli J. Finkel in his insightful 2012 meta-analysis of the $3.5 billion U.S. global industry. "Regarding access, encountering potential partners via online dating profiles reduces three-dimensional people to two-dimensional displays of information, and these displays fail to capture those experiential aspects of social interaction that are essential to evaluating one's compatibility with potential partners."
In other words, what you see isn't always what you get. What's more, trawling online for love represents a serious time commitment, notes Linda Miller, owner of Carleton Place-based matchmaking agency Misty River.
"You can literally sit at the computer, three hours have blown by, and you're no closer to meeting someone. I had a client tell me she'd been on 100 dates in four months and nothing had worked out. Online, you can be really attractive and still be overlooked. People are done with Internet dating, the constant blind dates and the hookups."
Instead, for between $1,600 and $5,000, a professional matchmaker will not only personally investigate who you are and what sort of mate you're looking for, but will scour their databases and networks, then advocate on your behalf - a sort of cheer leading best friend combined with the head of HR from the Romance Department.
Aside from the personal service and the security of knowing that your neighbour won't accidentally come across your Plenty of Fish profile that lists your likes as "candlelit dinners and slow kissing," there is something to be said for reintroducing the idea of collaboration in finding love, says Ottawa-based relationship coach, Bob Neufield. "There is an increasing demand for this sort of thing. The culture has changed in terms of how people meet each other. I haven't got anything against technology, but it's not helping people's social skills. A matchmaker will know if you're into bad boys, you should be steered away from them. They'll see your negative patterns. I really believe that most of us can benefit from someone who is really grounded in what a relationship can entail, whether it's a relationship coach or a matchmaker." Like a traditional Jewish shadchan or Hindu bichauliya, a modern matchmaker "provides you with curated, pre-screened dates that are aligned with your goals and values. You can meet these people without spending weeks trying to filter them out yourself," notes Jason Silver, director of New York State's Matchmaking Institute, which offers the world's only certification program.
A matchmaker is also trained to ask the right questions to get to the heart of who you are and what you're looking for, adds Marie-Claude Faubert, owner of Ottawa's It's A Match agency. "I ask about past relationships, reasons for breaking up, dating patterns. It goes as deep as someone will talk to. I need to see pictures of the ex, pictures of the type of people they're attracted to. Sometimes, it's almost as if I know more about them than they want me to. I have an intuitive sense of what they need more precisely than they do."
Faubert also does an image assessment and can refer clients to associates who help improve confidence through advice on diet, exercise, cosmetic procedures, dentistry, wardrobe, etiquette and finances. "Whatever the recommendations, it's about being the best you for yourself. If you are happy with yourself, that's conveyed; you telegraph your confidence, and that's very attractive," she says.
Observation and good judgment also play an enormous part, says Miller, who started matchmaking 20 years ago while training to be a clinical psychologist at the University of Manitoba and now runs one of the biggest agencies in Ontario. During her client interviews - all held at neutral Ottawa locations - she subtly assesses education, career, work record and attitudes toward social issues such as smoking, drinking and personal grooming.
"Matchmaking is a very particular skill. I think I have the craziest job in the world, but it's very rewarding. I believe in being a good observer of people. Even at parties, I'm mentally noting people's likes and dislikes," she laughs, "I'm always doing a mental Rolodex of matches in my head." Even so, not everyone is "marketable," both women say. Faubert rules out "anyone who is really angry with life or wants to meet someone rapidly after divorce," while Miller says she looks for clients "who are in a good place in their life. I won't take on someone who hasn't done their work on that, or someone who isn't working or (is) having financial problems. If they have a string of issues, like smoking, being overweight, unemployed and so on, (it) makes it nearly impossible to match. I won't take money from someone, and then say 'This won't work for you.' " But it is working for enough people, and that trend hasn't gone unnoticed by the online dating industry. For $5,000, eHarmony now offers clients the services of a personal dating counsellor to shift through possible matches and make an approach on their behalf.
Newcomer Virtual Dating Assistants does it cheaper. For $147, you get a basic profile, but add another $600 to $700 a month and you'll get personalized date selection and correspondence.
"If the big sites are offering personal dating assistants, what does that tell us?" wonders Faubert. "It tells us that they've realized there's still a need for human contact, that not everything can be selected on algorithmic criteria."

Accidental pet poisonings are on the rise and some of the most common toxins are medicines their masters take. That's right, people pills.
Three examples with dogs: Gatsby ingested an entire bottle of prenatal vitamins. Otis ate calcium chews. Foster found his way into both Benadryl and ibuprofen.
"He had eaten the container and ingested some of the medicine also," explained Jessica Merchant, Foster's Owner.
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, ASPCA, says its animal poison control center took more than 180,000 calls last year about pets getting into poisonous substances, with prescription medicines for humans accounting for the majority of the calls.
"When people take their pills, they drop them on the floor, that little dog is just right there to scoop it up. So heart medications are number one. Also we have a very high number of animals eating things like antidepressants and ADHD medications," said Tina Wismer, DVM, DABVT, DABT, with ASPCA Poison Control Center.
Over-the-counter medicines also present problems.
"It only takes one extra strength Naproxen to kill a Shih Tzu-type dog. Ibuprofen can cause stomach ulcers and kidney failure in dogs and cats and acetaminophen can actually cause the blood to change so it can't carry oxygen and cause liver failure," said Wismer.
Supplements make up more of the scares. They are more popular than ever with people, and now more enticing than ever to animals.
"Companies are constantly making more and more palatable uh supplements uh and the soft gels for example um are made from a gelatin, which is made from cow hide, which might be attractive to an animal," said Tod Cooperman, MD, with ConsumerLab.com.
Dogs are more likely than cats o sniff their way into trouble, with labrador retrievers leading up the canine category.
But no matter what the breed, how the animal recovers after an accidental poisoning depends on its weight, what kind of medicine it consumed, the prescription strength and how much was ingested.
"I don't think the companies are going to make changes to their products to keep them safe from pets but I think people can certainly be more aware that these can cause problems for their pets," said Cooperman.
Gatsby recovered on his own. Otis ended up needing an IV. Foster vomited repeatedly. So, how can you protect your precious pet?
"Make sure that they can't get on the counters, that the medications are kept in locked cabinets or definitely up high so they can't get to them," warned Wismer.
Another big toxin for pets is insecticides, both the indoor and outdoor options.

You have a few different options.
1. Look in local paper for Baltimore
2. Google search
3. Comparison websites
The local paper in Baltimore is not really the way to go these days. The problem is you can't even see a review or any other details on the tree removal company. Are they even legit?
You would have to take them on face value.
Google search is getting warmer, but some reviews can be faked.
Nowadays business owners just message all their friends and ask for reviews. They can get 20 – 50 reviews in a couple of hours.
But let's say they are legitimate reviews. How do you know they are well priced? This is rarely mentioned in reviews.
Go Tree Quotes is a FREE service dedicated to matching home owners with the best priced tree service near you in Baltimore.
How do we do it?

Now this trick only really applies when the tree is smaller than 15ft. anything taller will require the expertise of a certified arborist.
You can trust a fairly good job from lawn maintenance companies in Baltimore these days for smaller tree work.
and because their overheads for running a business are substantially lower than a local tree care companies operating around Baltimore, MD, you stand to save up to 50% right off the bat.
Plus tree services don't really like smaller jobs, so they are likely to charge you pain-in-the-neck tax!
This one is a cracker!

This works best on trees with bad access.
Because tree experts in Baltimore charge more for hard-to-get-to trees in backyards.
Especially if they need to lug lots of large logs by hand.
A better solution is to get a quote to just remove the branches and ask them to cut the trunk of the tree into 1 foot long logs.
Then take a photo of them and have an auction on eBay.
Not only will people pay you for the logs, they will come to your Baltimore address and haul them away for free!
It's a real win win!

By: Jaymie Leighton
Title: No Mallets Intended
Pub. Date: November 4th, 2014
Series: Vintage Kitchen Mysteries
Website: http://www.victoriahamiltonmysteries.com
It's almost here, that madness that descends on our town during that month long frenzy between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
To explain... Queensville Michigan was, in my youth, kind of sleepy. I went to college away - in Canada, actually - but came back and found that in the few years I was gone (I came back often, but it's not the same as living here) my town was transforming. It started when a few out-of-towners moved here and started businesses; the Knit Knack Shack and Jewel's Junk, to be precise. Then bed-and-breakfast establishments opened, two in one year. About that time the town's heritage society got going, and they started the May 'Tea with the Queen' event.
Queensville was becoming a tourist town. I've always thought we're in the middle of everything... close to so much, the lakes and beaches, not far from Cedar Point, close to Frankenmuth, and a lot more.
And now, just in the last year the heritage committee has kicked it into high gear, there is another new vintage and antiques shop in town, Cynthia Turbridge's The Cottage Shoppe, and another that may open in the near future even though I am sworn to secrecy by someone I care about a lot! Whew!!
I'm on the heritage committee and I've been given the awesome task of designing the vintage kitchen in what will become the Queensville Historic Manor, to be open in time for the town's latest festival started just a couple of years ago, Dickens Days, which kicks off in December!
So much change... I guess I feel a little jumbled because of everything that has happened in the last few months and even my personal changes. I went from having a steady live-in boyfriend (Joel Anderson, now engaged to someone else!!) to dating a multi-millionaire in just months. And then there are my growing physical feelings for a hunky police detective, even though I just can't see us together. Zack is goodlooking, and nice, but... his mind just seems to be elsewhere. We're so different and I'm afraid we want different things in life.
And then there are the murders; that sounds so ominous, but we've figured out what happened in each. Anyway, you'll just have to catch up with all the love and murder in the latest recounting of my life, No Mallets Intended!
But... do you ever feel like your life is moving so fast, you can't catch your breath? What do you do to slow it all down?
Surprise giveaway today... comment here to enter to win. I'll be giving away a Cozy Up With A Good Mystery tote and a copy of No Mallets Intended!!
*Note: Cat not included!
Find me on the 'net!
Jaymie Leighton is excited and a little nervous about her current big venture, completely redoing the kitchen at Dumpe House—now the Queensville Historic Manor—in time for the December opening. But the house is mired in controversy, a challenge to the heritage society's right to own it, and questions about the author hired to write a pamphlet detailing the Dumpe family history and that of the house.

In the business and among his peers Jan Balet was known as a cartoonist or a 'decorative' illustrator who worked in a 'humorous' style.
But pinning a label on Balet is more complicated than that. American Artist magazine called his work "graphic whimsy", which is a fun way of putting it, I think.
Balet himself said he drew inspiration from both ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian art -- something that might not be apparent until its pointed out, but it hints at the hidden complexity of Balet's intentions.
Personally, I see a broad range of influences,
...including the work of Balet's contemporaries, like Jim Flora and Roy Doty.
Roy told me he didn't know Balet well, but they sometimes crossed paths as they came and went from the offices of clients when picking up or dropping off assignments. Roy described Balet as "very much the European."
He was probably commenting on Jan Balet's character -- but I think that Balet's work has a sort of European character as well. On his studio walls Balet hung the work of Picasso, Chagall, Guys and Lautrec. He is said to have favoured the work of these "French Moderns" but that he was "Catholic in his tastes and likes all sorts of art that is good of its kind."
The small sampling here and the other work you've seen so far this week certainly lends credence to that statement.

Sometime this month, Blizzard is expected to release Hearthstone's first adventure pack Curse of Naxxramas. The pack will come with single player adventures, along with 30 new cards that should shake up the metagame and breathe some fresh air into the ladder scene. Pricing details were announced yesterday, and now seems an apt time to begin looking over the cards we'll be seeing in Naxxramas. Thus far, five neutral cards have officially been announced.
Dancing Swords
Dancing Swords is an intriguing minion at three mana. The magical blades boast a highly coveted 4/4 body, able to ignore specific priest removal while still having a thick enough hide to endure most popular area of effect spells. In exchange for the amazing statline, Dancing Swords awards opponents a card upon expiring. In a perfect world, Dancing Swords is used to quickly mow down a foe before the deathrattle ever becomes an issue. It seems like we won't be seeing this minion in anything other than fast paced aggression setups.

150 Afghan Girls Poisoned in Attack Against Female Education
Around 150 Afghan high school aged girls were poisoned on Tuesday in northern Afghanistan in what many suspect is an attack on females seeking education.
The schoolgirls were poisoned by contaminated water in Afghanistan's northern Takhar province, causing them to suffer from severe headaches and vomiting.
Some of the affected students remain in critical condition over the poisoning.
"We are 100 percent sure that the water they drunk inside their classes was poisoned. This is either the work of those who are against girls' education or irresponsible armed individuals," Jan Mohammad, spokesman for Afghanistan's education department in the northern province, told Reuters.
In the past, insurgency groups have been responsible for other attacks on female education, including acid attacks on girls going to school, as well as attacks on educational institutions and teachers. A majority of these attacks occur in the southern and eastern regions of the country, where Taliban insurgents maintain a strong foothold.
Although the human rights situation for Afghan women and girls has seen some improvement since the fall of the Taliban, women and girls in the country continue to live under precarious conditions and are often under threat of attack or abuse for exercising their rights.
Under the Taliban women and girls were barred from virtually all rights including education.
Today, although the situation has improved, women and girls in Afghanistan continue to be treated in an unequal manner with intrinsic rights violated by social, political, and economic institutions, as outlined in a new report released by Human Rights Watch.
The human rights organization released a report late last month detailing the condition of women and girls in Afghanistan's female detention centers.
According to the report, the "crimes" that send women and girls into detention centers, often for years at a time, include fleeing a situation of domestic violence or being the victim of rape.
"Some women and girls have been convicted of zina, sex outside of marriage, after being raped or forced into prostitution," the report reads.
The Christian Post recently spoke to Yalda Atif, a case manager for the New York and Kabul-based Women for Afghan Women (WAW), a human rights organization that advocates and offers programmatic support to enhance the rights of women in the country, about why women and girls in the country continue to face violence, discrimination, and unfair treatment.
"There are many reasons why this kind of violence is happening – but in Afghanistan it is more about cultural reasons," Atif told CP.
"The situation is getting worse than before. You see violence is happening more and more every day," the caseworker said. "But there is only one reason that the violence persists and that is because it is hard to bring people out of that culture."
Although Atif told CP that WAW has "seen a lot of changes" towards women in Afghanistan the organization worries that an increasingly un-invested international community challenges the future of rights for women and girls in the country.
"If the U.S. leaves, the situation (for women) will get worse, " Atif said. "If the U.S. is out, the Taliban will come out and take over all of Afghanistan and the situation will only get worse."

Discontinued activity: Economic analysis
Following the 2005 UNECE Reform initiated by member States, the Economic Analysis Division (EAD) was dissolved. A number of its activities were discontinued and others were transferred to other divisions.
The Economic Analysis Division carried out regular, comprehensive analyses of economic developments and prospects of the ECE region. The economic analysis was complemented by population analysis carried out by the Population Activities Unit of EAD. These two strands of work contributed towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals in the ECE region.
The results of EAD's prior work are still available to the general public through a range of publications.

Hey Guys,
I bought this black 2011 Suzuki GSX-R750 about 9 months ago with only 662 miles on it. I thought it would sell very quickly for sure but mysteriously I still have it. It looks brand new and is up on a pedestal in my showroom. It's about time for someone to give it a home so I dropped the price down to $9,999. Average NADA Retail price is $11,080 and this bike is in far above average condition. All other GSX-R750s I have found online are not close to the condition of this one and have far more miles. Let me know if you are interested or know someone who is. Thanks

President Barack Obama said on Thursday he directed Attorney General Eric Holder to conduct a review of Department of Justice guidelines for investigations that involve journalists and report back by early July.
Obama has come under criticism for his administration's pursuit of journalists who have reported leaked material.
In recent weeks, it emerged that the Justice Department seized Associated Press phone records as part of a probe into leaks about a 2012 Yemen-based plot to bomb a U.S. airliner and that Fox News correspondent James Rosen had been named a "co-conspirator" in a federal leaks probe involving his reporting on North Korea.
"I'm troubled by the possibility that leak investigations may chill the investigative journalism that holds government accountable," Obama said on Thursday during a foreign policy speech about his administration's counterterrorism objectives.
"Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs. Our focus must be on those who break the law," Obama said.
Obama said Holder would convene a group of media groups and collect their concerns as part of his review.
Obama said last week he made "no apologies" for his concern about leaks to the media that could compromise U.S. national security or put American military and intelligence officers at risk.
The Department of Justice said in a statement that Holder would report back to the president by July 12 and would meet with experts inside and outside government in addition to media representatives.
"This review is consistent with Attorney General Holder's long-standing belief that freedom of the press is essential to our democracy," the department said in a statement.
"At the same time, the Attorney General believes that leaks of classified information damage our national security and must be investigated using appropriate law enforcement tools."

Delirium (acute confusional state) is a sudden change in a person's
mental status, leading to confusion and unusual behavior.
Symptoms of delirium usually develop over the course of several
hours to a few days. Symptoms may fluctuate and often include:
Delirium may be caused by withdrawal from alcohol or drugs or
medicines. The development or worsening of an infection or other health
problem can also lead to delirium. People with dementia, such as occurs with
Alzheimer's disease, are more prone to delirium.

This research looks really interesting. I have emailed Franz (one of the chemists who is doing this research) to ask her for the full text of one of the research papers she did (in The Journal of the American Chemical Society). I will post when I have received the full text.
Separating the Brain's 'Bad' from 'Good' Iron
Duke chemists have found a way, by using 'pro-chelators' wrapped in chemical 'cages'
Boston -- Duke University chemists are developing ways to bind up iron in the brain to combat the neurological devastation of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. The key is to weed out potentially destructive forms of iron that generate harmful free radicals while leaving benign forms of iron alone to carry out vital functions in the body.
"Using existing chelating (metal-binding) molecules to target iron in the brain can be tricky," said Katherine Franz, an assistant chemistry professor at Duke, because iron is essential to the body. "We want to go after only the iron that is causing the damage. We don't want to pull the iron out of healthy sites."
On Aug. 23, during the American Chemical Society's August 2007 national meeting in Boston, Franz will describe her work with graduate student Louise Charkoudian to formulate sensitive chemical sentinels they call "pro-chelators." Those are metal-binding agents wrapped in chemical "cages" so they can enter the brain and wait in reserve until they encounter a site of potential damage.
Such a site contains both iron and the molecule hydrogen peroxide. The reaction between these two players -- known as a "Fenton reaction" -- can lead to the production of a highly reactive oxygen-containing chemical group called a hydroxyl radical, Franz said.
These toxic chemical radicals can cause oxidative stress in brain cells that has been associated with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's as well as other age-related maladies such as macular degeneration in the eyes, she said.
The pro-chelators that Franz will describe at the ACS meeting contain phenols that wear chemical "masks" around themselves to keep them from binding with benign forms of iron or other metals, such as those found in some essential enzymes. But the presence of excessive amounts of hydrogen peroxide will trigger an unmasking, allowing the phenols to sop up and inactivate the bad iron, she said.
Franz and Charkoudian described their first formula for a pro-chelator in a report printed in the Sept. 27, 2006, issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The work is being supported by the Parkinson's Disease Foundation and Duke University.
Franz's Aug. 23 talk at the society's latest national meeting will concentrate on a second generation of pro-chelator compounds that are better tailored in both sensitivity and response time to the brain's chemical environment, she said.
A report on those newer compounds is also pending in the journal Dalton Transactions and includes contributions by post-doctoral associate David Pham and Duke undergraduate students Ashley Kwon and Abbey Vangeloff.
While their previous experiments have been in laboratory glassware, the Duke pair has now begun working with living cells.
"That work looks promising," Franz said. "It looks like we're seeing iron binding only when we increase the levels of hydrogen peroxide. This level of peroxide normally kills cells, but we are seeing cell survival with the pro-chelators, so we're very excited."

Silvio Lorusso's 'Entreprecariat: Everyone is an entrepreneur. Nobody is Safe' (2019)- an interview by Floor van Luijk
Many artists, curators and critics have to work on a freelance basis: a mandatory embrace of freedom and uncertainty. With the closing of exhibitions and cultural institutions because of COVID-19, the advantages and downsides of this kind of 'autonomy' manifest themselves ever more clearly. In his new book Entreprecariat: Everyone is an entrepreneur. Nobody is Safe(2019), Silvio Lorusso questions a more general trend towards flexible work. How are entrepreneurialism and precarity intertwined? And what is the role of creativity in this 'entreprecariat'?read more
To Describe a Life - An Interview with Darby English
Art historian and critic Darby English's collection of essays To Describe a Life: Notes from the Intersection of Art and Race Terror (2019) was written during, and in part emerges from, multiple moments of crises in the United States, particularly the ongoing violence against black bodies. English champions a form of writing about art that allows us to sit with the artwork, observe all its details and start to understand its complexities and ambiguities. Hendrik Folkerts talks with English about his encounters with art, his method of description, the pitfalls of identity politics and Martin Luther King. ''We don't need reminders", English says. ''We need insights.''read more

Pac-12 Morning Five: 02.02.12 EditionPosted by AMurawa on February 2nd, 2012
- Wednesday was national Letter of Intent signing day in college football, and Oregon made one of the bigger splashes of the day by signing 6'8", 290-pound defensive end Arik Armstead. While the signing was a boon to head football coach Chip Kelly's strong class, it may also prove to help out Dana Altman and his basketball program as well, since Armstead expects to shift over from the football field to the basketball court once the Ducks' football season ends (and, if recent history is any indication, that won't be until January). While football is his top priority, Armstead didn't even consider going to schools that wouldn't have offered him the opportunity to play both sports. It remains to be seen how fresh those wheels will be once he's done being pounded on by Pac-12 offensive linemen for a year, but Armstead could give Altman's program a midseason boost next year.
- In the wake of Kevin Parrom's broken foot that will cost him the rest of his junior season, Arizona head coach Sean Miller said that the school will attempt to petition the NCAA for an extra season of eligibility. Although Parrom has already played more than the 30% of games on UA's schedule, making him ineligible for a redshirt season, Miller thinks that the combination of Parrom's good academic standing, his 14 missed games as a freshman and his hardships this season (Parrom was shot in the leg while visiting his mother in New York City during the fall, just before his mother died of cancer) make him a good candidate for a fifth year. With another year of eligibility remaining, it may be quite a while before a decision is reached, and the odds are good that the NCAA decision will be negative, but Miller thinks this strategy is at least worth a try.
- In a season chock full of transfers and dismissals, we found out the next step in the careers of a couple former Pac-12 players in recent days. First, in the next step of a somewhat surprising downfall, former UCLA forward Reeves Nelson was released on Tuesday by BC Zalgiris, a professional team in Lithuania. Nelson averaged 10 minutes per game in six appearances with Zalgiris but contributed just 2.5 points and 3.3 rebounds per game while shooting just 28% from the field. Nelson is still eligible for the NBA Draft in June, but the odds that he hears his name called then seem to get slimmer by the day. Meanwhile, former Arizona forward Sidiki Johnson has latched on at Providence. Johnson played a grand total of seven minutes in his Arizona career before been suspended by Miller for a violation of team policy and then leaving the team a couple weeks later.
- C.J. Wilcox is expected to be full-steam ahead for Washington's matchup with UCLA on Thursday night, according to head coach Lorenzo Romar. Wilcox played 26 minutes last Saturday against Arizona after getting ten minutes against Arizona State on Thursday, his first game back after missing three with a stress fracture in his hip. For now, the plan is for Wilcox to skip practices during the week while playing in games, a similar scenario to the way Romar handled Brandon Roy in 2004-05 when he was recovering from knee surgery.
- Lastly, it may have been lost in the final outcome on Sunday, but Stanford's redshirt freshman center, Stefan Nastic, turned in his best game of his career, scoring a career-high 11 points in a 19-minute effort that was by far also his longest stint of the year. Nastic played five games early last season and looked to be a promising prospect before breaking a bone in his foot and missing the rest of the season. Then he got sick at the start of this season and struggled to get started at the outset of the year. But now the seven-footer has put in his ticket for an increased role and could turn into an impact player for Johnny Dawkins.

Looking for an RV topic? Search the entire forum HERE
Don't forget the old saying; "If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." While you may be the man of the house, momma will have to be in on the decision. Before you even let her know how interested you are in buying it, wait and see what she says after she looks at it. Use some reverse psychology. If you tell her you like it and want to buy it, I am almost sure she will say, "hell" no!! But if you allow her to make the decision, and you just happen to agree with her, she will think she made a great decision and a great deal and thank you for being so supportive.
This may (or may not) help in your (her) assessment! : http://www.nadaguides.com/RVs/2001/Georgie-BoyDon't add any options, add mileage if requested. This will at least give you a starting point in establishing a value, however it is NOT the bible. Tires are one expensive replacement should they be needed, check as was suggested above.
My eyes cannot roll and further back in my head at this comment.
That sounds like an attractive deal, so take Mama to see it and explain why it's an opportunity. Assuming you are right about the condition and the present owners, it's may be too good to pass up.The asking price is above average, but at that age condition is everything. Unlike cars, the market price varies a lot by condition, region, and season, so you can't go solely on NADA values. If it has been well cared for and lightly used, the price may not too far out of line. I'd negotiate, though, and try to get it for 20k or so. View the RV Buting checklists in the RVforum library and assess the condition and potential costs if you buy. Tires are a huge expense, so if the tires are several years old, plan on replacing them and figure that into the price.
Sometimes it is better to just jump, rather than getting caught up in analysis paralysisBut I think with impulse buying it's hard to take off the rose colored glasses, as someone else suggested.And when dealing with friends it may be hard, even if on a sub conscience level, to be criticalMy other thought is, that if this is the first MH you've looked at, you may find that the floorplan really isn't that great of a fit for you. Floorplan is very important, and if it "fits" you and your needs.I think what I might do if I were in your shoes, is if after taking DW to see it she's open to the idea.... then I might take a quick trip down to the local RV dealership to step into as many other com parables as you can.You might get spoiled with the new bells and whistles and that might make it hard to go back to old and used.... that is a riskyou might find that there are features that are really important that don't exist in the Georgie Boyor you might firm up that it really is a great deal and a good fit for you.Hey, if it is a good buy even if not a perfect fit, you could always use it for a couple years to better figure out your wants and needs, then trade up later.
