31 U.S. Code § 771 - Definitions
prev | next
In this subchapter—
(1) "dependent child" means an unmarried dependent child (including a stepchild or adopted child) who is—
(C) between 18 and 22 years of age and is a student regularly pursuing a full-time course of study or training in residence in a high school, trade school, technical or vocational institute, junior college, college, university, or comparable recognized educational institution. For the purposes of this subchapter, a child whose 22nd birthday occurs before July 1 or after August 31 of a calendar year, and while such child is regularly pursuing such a course of study or training, is deemed to have become 22 years of age on the first day of July after that birthday. A child who is a student is deemed not to have ceased to be a student during an interim period between school years if the interim period is not more than 5 months and if such child shows to the satisfaction of the General Counsel of the Government Accountability Office that such child has a bona fide intention of continuing in the same or a different school during the school semester (or other period into which the school year is divided) immediately after the interim period.
(2) "surviving spouse" means a surviving spouse of an individual who was a Comptroller General or retired Comptroller General and the spouse—

Two and a half years after the Homeless Task Force dove head first into its ten-year plan to end homelessness, 1500 people are still living without a place to call their own, but changes are in the works.
Most homeless people find themselves in unfortunate situations like domestic disputes and losing a job, but chronic homelessness affects many people in Columbus as well. Mental health problems and substance abuse account for many of their challenges, but some are stuck in a cycle of financial instability.
The task force's goal to build a resource center for area homeless would provide counseling services for all of these problems, essentially teaching them how to be independent and responsible.
Mayor Teresa Tomlinson says, "If you have a one-stop shop that can counsel them and alleviate some of the pressures those concerns put on their lives, you can prevent it by getting them into early treatment and connected with early services."
Rick McKnight is on the board of Home for Good: The Alliance to End Homelessness, which is in charge of implementing the ten-year plan. He says, "We are looking for ways to dramatically change people's lives that we can help them be better citizens, more productive, honest, hard-working. We're not looking to give them a fish. We're looking to teach them how to fish."
So far the task force has worked with organizations like the Homeless Resource Network to form the Homeless Management Information System, a database being compiled to track trends in local vagrancy. Mayor Tomlinson says the plan is to work with area organizations to consolidate some of their services so people in need don't have to go from place to place to get help.
"It's very important that we respect the individual service providers and somehow bring their skill and expertise into this mix and find a way to leverage it to better result," she says.
The cost of building a one-stop shop won't be cheap. Mayor Tomlinson says a proposal for the center could be ready by the end of the year. She says funding will rely heavily on private partnerships. There are also a number of grants the city will be applying for to help with the cost.

Every business must keep track of monetary transactions. Larger companies typically have an entire department of accountants and accounting support staff specializing in a single area (such as accounts payable or payroll), while smaller companies may have one or two professionals taking over many different accounting duties. The Herzing University Diploma in Bookkeeping and Payroll Accounting program will prepare graduates for entry into many areas, including:
Bookkeepers and Payroll Accounting Clerks spend most of their time at a desk on a computer. They may work part or full-time depending on the employer's needs. Full-time employees typically receive a comprehensive benefits package including healthcare and retirement savings plan(s). There may be overtime required when fiscal deadlines such as tax time and year end approach. Professionals in this field may need to take precautions against eye strain and carpel tunnel syndrome, symptoms which occur more often for workers spending many hours at a computer.
Employees in this field can advance through a number of avenues. As a clerk, obtaining a certification from an industry organization (such as the The American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers and ADP Software Company) will demonstrate to employers that the clerk has been recognized by professionals in the bookkeeping and/or payroll accounting field for their knowledge and commitment to the profession. Bookkeeping and payroll specialists may also look to advance by taking a supervisory role and managing others in their department, or moving to a different company where they will be given greater responsibility and therefore a higher salary. Lastly, some people use this position as a stepping stone while continuing their education in order to become an accountant or auditor.

Creaky, stubborn joints can stop you from doing the things you love—and discourage healthy, balanced exercise
When your bones rub together, the result can be disastrous for your health and well-being! What a pity that Mother Nature didn't see fit to provide us with Teflon-capped bones to prevent the loss of healthy structure and function. That would be truly bionic, a future merging of technology with biology.
What can a person do? Glucosamine is a substance known from scientific studies to be supportive of proper knee and other joint functions, and while the research results on chondroitin sulfate have been mixed, there is now growing scientific support that low-molecular-weight chondroitin sulfate is the best way to truly benefit, especially when it is combined with glucosamine.
What about hyaluronic acid, an important component of joint cartilage and the principal constituent of synovial fluid, which bathes and lubricates all our synovial joints? In low-molecular-weight forms, it's not very useful and not very bioavailable. However, in high-molecular-weight form, it can be beneficial—provided that you can get it to where it's needed.
The good news is that new scientific evidence supports the use of a special form of liposomal phospholipid delivery material. Called nanospheres, these infinitesimal encapsulators can significantly improve the bioavailability of hyaluronic acid. Using the same material referenced in a recent study,1 Life Enhancement is able to take advantage of this futuristic technology right now, because we have been employing and refining its use for several years.
Friction is the culprit in our seeming dilemma. We cannot make it disappear, but we can—to a significant degree—hold it at bay with glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid. Bionic Joint Support also contains vitamin D, and the minerals manganese, molybdenum, and copper for even greater joint support.
Bionic Joint Support can help:
Considering the crucial importance we place on preserving and protecting the mobility of our precious joints, it's worth taking advantage of a nanosphere liposomal delivery system. Bionic Joint Support embraces and proffers this exciting technology now . . . so you don't need to wait for the future when biology and technology merge and surpass Mother Nature.
Suggested Use: SHAKE WELL BEFORE EACH USE. Put dropper (1 ml) between cheek and gum 1–2 times daily, then swallow. For maximal absorption, hold in mouth before swallowing.
Other Ingredients: Water, natural flavors, Magnasweet®, potassium sorbate.

Medications and Drugs
Brand Names: Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Formula
Generic Name: aspirin, chlorpheniramine, and phenylephrine (Pronunciation: ASP rin, KLOR fen IR a meen, and FEN il EFF rin)
What is aspirin, chlorpheniramine, and phenylephrine (Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Formula)?
Aspirin is in a group of drugs called salicylates (sa-LIS-il-ates). It works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain, fever, and inflammation.
Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.
Phenylephrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).
The combination of aspirin, chlorpheniramine, and phenylephrine is used to treat symptoms of the common cold including sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, headache, fever, and minor aches and pains.
Aspirin, chlorpheniramine, and phenylephrine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of aspirin, chlorpheniramine, and phenylephrine (Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Formula)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop taking this medication and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
Less serious side effects may include:
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What is the most important information I should know about aspirin, chlorpheniramine, and phenylephrine (Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Formula)?
Do not give this medication to a child younger than 2 years old. Always ask a doctor before giving a cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough and cold medicines in very young children.
Aspirin should not be given to a child or teenager who has a fever, especially if the child also has flu symptoms or chicken pox. Aspirin can cause a serious and sometimes fatal condition called Reye's syndrome in children.

Göttingen Campus
The University of Göttingen profits from steadily expanding collaborative networks with local non-university research institutions.
Göttingen's on-site partners form an exceptionally vital cooperative alliance in research and teaching. These include joint Collaborative Research Centres (CRC), Research Training Groups, joint professorial appointments and jointly run facilities. More recently, the University has adopted the policy of creating joint research centres with major funding from third-party grants.
Dedicated to the promotion of independent young scientists who are embedded in both local and international networks, the international Master/Ph.D. programmes in Molecular Biology and Neurosciences are part of the Max Planck Research Schools and serve as blueprints for the development of the University's Graduate Schools. On the whole, the University's key research areas have been developed in close cooperation with our partner research intuitions and together form the basis for the University's profile today.

Testing for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is being conducted in two areas of Minnesota this fall during deer season. Testing is mandatory in the CWD management zone (deer permit area 602) and carcasses cannot be removed from the area until hunters receive a negative CWD test result. Testing in the north metro (part of deer permit areas 601 and 236) is a precautionary measure after CWD was discovered in a captive cervid farm in North Oaks in 2012.
In addition to the DNR's disease surveillance and management within the state, importation of cervidae (moose, elk, deer, caribou) carcasses from CWD endemic areas is also restricted. Carcasses may not be imported into the state from a CWD endemic area except for cut and wrapped meat, quarters or other portions of meat with no part of the spinal column or head attached, antlers, hides, teeth, finished taxidermy mounts, and antlers attached to skull caps that are cleaned of all brain tissue. If you plan to hunt outside the state, consult the Minnesota Board of Animal Health website for a map of areas from which import is restricted.
Southeastern Minnesota
North Metro
Southeast CWD Test Results
CWD Management Zone - Deer Permit Area 602
Extensive sampling of nearly 1,200 deer during fall 2012 in southeastern Minnesota did not detect a single case of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD).
Test results lend confidence that DNR caught the disease on the front end of the infection. Since the discovery of CWD in a wild white-tailed deer in fall 2010, DNR has sampled more than 4,000 adult deer in deer permit area 602 without finding another positive.
In mid- 2012, a captive European red deer (Cervus elaphus) was found infected with CWD in a herd of approximately 400 animals in North Oaks, MN. This marked the first time CWD was discovered in this species. In response, Minnesota DNR collected samples from 154 deer within a 10-mile radius of the farm to test for CWD.
Sample collections included 22 vehicle-killed deer, 69 archery-killed deer from special metro hunts, and 63 deer from a city-contracted sharpshooting effort within North Oaks. All samples were negative for CWD. Minnesota DNR plans to continue surveillance in the north metro in 2013.
Due to the discovery of CWD near Shell Lake, Wisconsin in 2011, the Minnesota DNR conducted CWD surveillance in deer permit areas 159, 183 and 225, along the Wisconsin border in 2012.
Nearly 1,100 samples were collected and all tested negative for CWD. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources tested 1,074 deer within 10 miles of Spooner, Wis., in fall 2012 and did not find any additional CWD-positive deer.
Minnesota DNR is not collecting any additional samples for CWD testing in east-central surveillance area in 2013.
A deer feeding ban remains in effect in Dodge, Goodhue, Olmsted, and Wabasha counties for the foreseeable future. The ban covers all of Dodge, Goodhue, Olmsted and Wabasha counties.
The ban will reduce the potential for the disease to spread from deer-to-deer by reducing the number of deer concentration sites. The disease can spread from one deer to another following nose-to-nose contact, contact with saliva or other body fluids. By eliminating deer feeding sites we are reducing the potential for the disease to spread.
Now that CWD has been discovered in the wild deer population, DNR will manage deer differently for the next three years at a minimum. The essence of management in this area includes:
Southeastern sampling
North Metro sampling
East-central sampling
CWD (Chronic Wasting Disease) naturally occurs in North American deer, moose and Rocky Mountain Elk. It belongs to a group of infectious diseases known as "transmissible spongiform encephalopathies" (TSEs).
It is caused by an abnormal protein called a prion which affects the animal's brain and is invariably fatal. Usually, months to years pass from the time an animal is infected to when it shows signs of the disease.
The disease is found in 14 other states and two Canadian provinces, including the Midwestern states of Wisconsin, Illinois, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Typical signs of the disease include drooping head or ears, poor body condition, tremors, stumbling, increased salivation, difficulty swallowing, or excessive thirst or urination.
The diagram to the right illustrates the most common sites where prions accumulate in infected cervids.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has confirmed that an adult female deer harvested during the 2010 hunting season has been diagnosed with Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a brain and nervous system disorder found in deer, elk and moose. This is disappointing news but the DNR is well prepared to address it.
The discovery occurred the week of Jan. 10, 2011, during laboratory analysis of more than 500 samples (lymph nodes) taken from hunter-harvested deer taken within a 20-mile radius of Pine Island in southeastern Minnesota. Initial screening of all other samples is complete. The DNR collects and evaluates lymph nodes because CWD can be detected through microscopic analysis.
The National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames, Iowa, confirmed the University of Minnesota's preliminary diagnosis of the single adult female white-tailed deer on Jan. 25, 2011.
If the preliminary finding is confirmed by NVSL, this will mark the first time CWD has been found in wild deer in Minnesota. Though the disease has been detected in Minnesota on four previous occasions since 2002, all of the instances involved "captive cervids", meaning domestic deer or elk confined to a fenced-in commercial operation.
At this point, no one knows. In fact, we may never know. What is known is that the "presumed positive" deer was harvested about three miles southwest of a former domestic elk farm near Pine Island. The farm's elk herd was depopulated after a seven-year-old female elk tested positive for CWD in January 2009. Three additional elk were found to be infected with CWD during the depopulation effort. The closest wild deer with CWD in Wisconsin is 150 miles from the location this CWD-suspect deer was harvested in Minnesota.
CWD is found in wild deer, elk or moose in 14 other states and two Canadian provinces, including the Midwestern states of Wisconsin, Illinois, North Dakota and South Dakota. For specifics, visit the CWD Alliance Website.
A map and list of states and counties with endemic areas where exportation of cervids is restricted is available from the Minnesota Board of Animal Health by clicking the Cervidae (Deer, Elk, Moose, Caribou, Reindeer) link.
The DNR has been actively on the lookout for CWD since 2002, when the disease was first found in a domestic elk farm in central Minnesota. An important management strategy for this disease is early detection. Since 2002, the DNR has tested more than 40,000 hunter-harvested, car-killed and targeted sick deer, along with 60 elk and 90 moose. Until now, laboratory analysis had never found a wild deer "presumed positive" for CWD.
DNR has implemented its CWD response plan. The critical first step was to identify the number and current distribution of deer in the Pine Island area. This was done using an aerial survey. Once that data was compiled, sampling to collect additional lymph nodes for testing was conducted during Winter 2011.
Working with landowners and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) sharpshooters, DNR sampled 752 yearling or older deer and 428 fawns. Each was tested for CWD and all results were negative. Deer sampled were taken from within roughly a five-mile radius of where the infected deer was harvested in Fall 2010.
DNR also implemented a deer feeding ban in a four-county area of southeastern Minnesota, has restricted carcass movement out of the area and will sample all hunter harvested deer for CWD during this fall's hunting seasons.
That's possible but it's premature to speculate. The only way to know if other deer have CWD is to continue doing surveillance. Collection of additional samples this winter will be done in a highly targeted way and only with permission of cooperating landowners.
Based on the fact that only one deer has tested positive for CWD among more than 500 samples, the rate of occurrence is likely low. Still, people with venison in their freezer from this area should know the following:
So, people with venison in their freezer that was harvested from this area will need to make decisions based on the information above. The Minnesota Department of Health – not the DNR – provides guidance to citizens on food consumption issues.
CWD causes a characteristic spongy degeneration of the brains of infected animals resulting in emaciation, abnormal behavior, loss of bodily functions and death. CWD belongs to a group of diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). Though many observers try to compare CWD with "mad cow disease", the diseases are distinctly different.
The disease agent is a prion, an abnormal form of cellular protein that is most commonly found in the central nervous system and in lymphoid tissue. The prion "infects" the host animal by promoting conversion of normal cellular protein to the abnormal form.
The origin of CWD is unknown, and it may never be possible to definitively determine how or when CWD arose. It was first recognized as a syndrome in captive mule deer held in wildlife research facilities in Colorado in the late 1960s, but it was not identified as a TSE until the 1970s. Computer modeling suggests the disease may have been present in free-ranging populations of mule deer for more than 40 years.
It is not known exactly how CWD is transmitted. The infectious agent may be passed in feces, urine or saliva. Transmission is thought to be lateral (from animal to animal). Although maternal transmission (from mother to fetus) may occur, it appears to be relatively unimportant in maintaining epidemics.
Because CWD infectious agents are extremely resistant in the environment, transmission may be both direct and indirect. Concentrating deer and elk in captivity or by artificial feeding probably increases the likelihood of both direct and indirect transmission between individuals. Contaminated pastures appear to have served as sources of infection in some CWD epidemics. The apparent persistence of the infectious agents in contaminated environments represents a significant obstacle to eradication of CWD from either captive or free-ranging cervid populations.
The movement of live animals is one of the greatest risk factors in spreading the disease into new areas. Natural movements of wild deer and elk contribute to the spread of the disease, and human-aided transportation of both captive and wild animals greatly exacerbates this risk factor.
CWD poses serious problems for wildlife managers, and the implications for free-ranging deer, elk and moose are significant:
A deer feeding ban covering Dodge, Goodhue, Olmsted and Wabasha counties became effective Monday, Feb. 14.
The ban will reduce the potential for the disease to spread from deer-to-deer by reducing the number of deer concentration sites. The disease can spread from one deer to another following nose-to-nose contact, contact with saliva or other body fluids. By eliminating deer feeding sites we are reducing the potential for the disease to spread.
The emergency rule makes it illegal to place or have out food capable of attracting wild deer. Those who feed birds or small mammals must do so in a manner that precludes deer access or place the food at least six feet above ground level.
Food placed as a result of normal agricultural practices is generally exempted from this rule; however, cattle operators are advised to take steps that minimize contact between deer and cattle.
Please download the rule to view the specific language. Once the rule goes into effect, official notice can be found here.
Methods and instructions to help landowners prevent wild deer from feeding on their property can be found here.
Field Dressing
Improper handling of the deer can contaminate the carcass with potentially harmful bacteria and compromise food safety and quality. By implementing a few precautionary measures during field dressing, the hunter can help ensure the final product is fit to consume.
Carcass restrictions require that any deer older than one year harvested in any season (archery, firearm and muzzleloader) be tested and receive a CWD-negative test result before a hunter can remove the animal from the CWD management zone. Use the form below to check for your test results.
CWD test results are available within three business days during the firearms deer season for samples taken in deer area 602. Results for samples submitted during the archery and muzzleloader seasons will be available within five business days.
Remember, export restrictions apply to carcasses with the head and portions of the spinal column attached. Deer parts that can be moved outside the area without a test result include:
The Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization state that there is no scientific evidence that CWD causes human Illness; however, precautions should be taken to minimize exposure.
Proper handling and refrigeration is necessary to prevent decomposition of the carcass and minimize the growth of potentially harmful bacteria. This will reduce the risk of food-borne illness due to consumption of contaminated meat.
Check your results
Carcass restrictions require that any deer older than one year harvested in any season (archery, firearm and muzzleloader) be tested and receive a CWD-negative test result before a hunter can remove the animal from the CWD management zone. Use the form below to check for your test results.
CWD test results are available within three business days for samples taken in deer area 602 only. Samples taken in the other deer areas will take five to seven business days.
Remember, export restrictions and mandatory testing only apply to deer area 602 so those samples are being prioritized so results are reported first. Deer taken in the other areas can be moved throughout the state so those results will take a few extra days.
Deer harvested in the CWD Management Zone (deer permit area 602) must register their deer in person at check stations located throughout the area.
Registration is necessary so the DNR can extract a lymph node tissue sample for CWD testing. For 2013, CWD testing will only be conducted in the CWD Management Zone; deer taken in adjacent permit areas will not be tested.
Hunters who harvest deer within the CWD management zone cannot remove the carcass from the zone until a CWD-negative test result is reported. Testing typically takes three business days to complete during the firearms season and results can be accessed by hunters online. Results for samples submitted during the archery and muzzleloader seasons will be available within five business days from when the sample is extracted, not the date of harvest.
Some deer parts can be moved outside the deer permit area 602 without a negative CWD test result. These parts include:
Hunters planning to eventually transport a deer out of the CWD zone should plan ahead and secure a place to store their deer while awaiting test results. Some venison processors may not take deer until a CWD test is completed.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an infectious neurological disease that occurs in North American deer (Odocoileus spp.), Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus), and moose (Alces alces) and belongs to a group of diseases called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs).
The disease is progressively fatal and has no known immunity, vaccine or treatment. Since 2002, more than 39,700 hunter-harvested and 600 opportunistic or targeted wild deer have been tested for CWD in Minnesota, with no positive cases identified.
This plan establishes general procedures to be followed for managing CWD if it is found in wild deer and procedures for wild deer surveillance if CWD is detected in a captive cervid facility.
If CWD is detected in wild cervids in Minnesota, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) has identified four primary goals of managing the disease:

Authority vs. responsibility
Authority vs. responsibility
How much does the responsibility of a position weigh?
Many people look forward to nominations and eagerly compete for positions that will give them authority over others.
However, once they take such positions, it seems like they forget their real objective and start acting only on their own benefit.
This reminds us of a story about a man who was nominated mandarin, a kind of advisor in China.
Full of vanity due to his new position, he desired to get some new clothes made, as he would now be an important man.
A friend of him recommended an old wiseman, a special tailor who knew how to give every customer the perfect touch.
The tailor took all the new mandarin´s measures, and then politely asked how long had he been holding such position.That was an important piece of information, in order to give a perfect cut to the new garment.
Well, what does it have to do with the measurement of my mantel?
The tailor explained patiently: It is a precious piece of information. A newly nominated mandarin gets so enthusiastic about his position that he walks with his nose and head up high. In this case, I need to make the front part of the garment longer than the back one.
After some years, he gets very busy with the work and upheavals of his experience, he becomes more sensible and looks ahead for what comes in his direction and what he needs to do next. For this mandarin, I make a mantel that has the same measures at the front and at the back.
Later on, with the burden of the years, his body starts bending to the front, mainly due to age and from the exhaustive works he has done, not to mention all the humbleness acquired with his life of efforts. That is when I make the mantel with a longer back. Therefore, I need to know for how long you have been in this position so that the clothes will fit you perfectly.
The man got out of the tailor shop thinking more about the reasons that took his friend to tell him about that wise tailor, than about the mantel he ordered itself.
* * *
Positions and functions are always responsibilities offered to us by Divinity for our own development. There is no reason for vanity, believing ourselves better or superior than others.
When Pilate assured Jesus he had the power of life or death, and that he had His destiny into his hands, The Master said: Prosecutor, the authority you now exercise is not your own, it was given to you and it can be taken away from you.
If fact, that is what actually happened.
Just a few years after Jesus´ death, Rome took all the power away from Judea´s prosecutor, Pontius Pilate. He lost his position, his prestige, and everything else he believed eternal.
* * *
Every authority, in order to be real, must be centred in love and exemplar life.
Authority should never go against justice.
When performing our duties, let us remember that only one authority is sovereign: God´s one, because it is unique and legitimate.

Sloth and algae co-exist
It is very evident that sloths lives in a symbiosis with a green algae called Trichophilus welckeri. The assumption was reinforced by observations made by an algae systematics research team at the Department of Environmental Sciences of the University of Helsinki. The team analyses hair samples taken from sloths in Panama, Costa Rica, Brazil and the French Guyana. The goal was to find out whether sloths are so slow that any algae grows in its fur, or whether sloth cubs receive a specific algae from their mothers.
Both hypotheses turned out to be correct. A total of 426 eukaryotic organisms - from microbes to spiders - were found in the hair samples. The majority of the organisms were microscopic ciliates and algae.
"The fur of sloths absorbs water, whereas the fur of other mammals rejects it. Moreover, sloth fur has grooves which provides a good growth base for algae," says Jaanika Blomster, the head of the research team. Algae gives the fur of sloths a greenish tint. The protective colour functions so well that it slows down the research on sloths. "Even though a sloth would have a transmitter on its collar, it may take an entire day to find it in the tree." Algae obtain nutrients from sloth excretion. It is suspected that sloths get additional nutrition by licking their fur. (image source)
(I'm tearing up because the sloth's body is like a living garden and I find that so cute.)

When I decided to take 10 days over the 4th of July for a personal "vacation," there was little doubt about where I would go - wine country! "Wait, that's your job," you say. Well, if you could call it work, then yes, I worked over my entire vacation.
I visited about 20 different properties, many for the first time, and it occurred to me it's my civic duty, as well as my vocational duty, to exhort all who read this and love food and wine to make the trek to wine country very soon!
Certainly in no order of importance or prestige, I visited the following areas of California. And because it's so hot and humid here, in the interest of word economy and brevity, I will do short fragment associations with the places I visited.

As much as we all seem to think that Amanda Bynes is off her rocker, authorities say she's not. At least not to the level that she can be held in a psychiatric facility against her will, reports TMZ. Amanda was hauled off to a psych ward for evaluation after being arrested in her New York apartment, where cops say she threw a bong out the window (which she denies). This was after reportedly smoking a spliff in her building lobby and muttering incoherently. While the strange platinum wig she's been wearing might scream CRAY, the truth is, it's not that easy to take away someone's freedom and stick her in a mental facility.
Although Amanda has had her license suspended (and then continued to drive for days until her car was finally impounded) and she's ranted on Twitter and posted half-nude photos of herself, and told a pilot to Google her, if this rose to the level of being mentally incompetent, most of us would probably spend some time in a mental facility.
When Amanda was sent to the psych ward after her arrest, TMZ reports that the psychiatrists there didn't believe an involuntary hold was warranted. For an involuntary commitment to hold, a person has to be deemed by a psychiatrist to be a "substantial risk of harm to self or others."
While certainly there have been plenty of cases of genuinely mentally ill and dangerous people on the streets that should have been off of them, making it difficult to send people to an institution against their will is for the benefit of us all. Once was a time that women were routinely sent to mental wards against their will -- for everything from adultery to epilepsy to just their husbands being tired of them (one complained his wife didn't do her housework) -- and they never came back out again.
The difficulty society has is in knowing when out-of-the-norm or "rebellious" or "strange" behavior is actually a mental illness presenting itself -- but it hasn't lapsed into dangerous behavior yet. How do you know when it's going to? Or if it never will? Unless someone is making direct threats, you really don't know. And we can't run around committing everyone whose behavior makes us uncomfortable.
TMZ reports that the only other way Amanda could be committed against her will is if she doesn't understand the charges against her -- but given that at her hearing she sounded fine, that's unlikely.
So we're all stuck with Amanda's wacky behavior for awhile.
Do you think Amanda should be committed? Have you ever tried to commit someone?
Image via AmandaBynes/Twitter
I find it highly suspicous that a gossip rag like TMZ is your source of information. Come back with REAL sources and then maybe I can take you seriously.
@ cassie_kellison: Actually TMZ is right 99% of the time. TMZ is run by a LAWYER, Harvey Levin, who is VERY careful about the sources they use for information. They double, triple, and quadruple check their sources and facts. And in the whole time they have been around, they have only been wrong, I beleive one time.
Amanda Bynes is not mentally ill... she's a druggie. Totally different.
Not being able to hold her doesn't mean she isn't ill, it just means she is not an immediate harm to herself or others. I cannot be held right now technically on that qualification but it doesn't mean that I don't suffer from mental illness.
Can we talk for a minute how so many child actors end up like this. The pressure and negative influences on these little people seems to destroy them in adulthood, but it seems to be an abuse accepted and even supported by society so that the rest of us can turn on the television and be entertained...
While I don't think she needs to be committed, I do think she needs therapy. Something in her life is obviously not right and I think she probably just needs someone to sit and listen.
As someone who has mental illness in my family,, I do believe there is a problem. Being mentally ill DOES NOT mean you are incompetent. It means you have a chemical imbalance. But there is such ignorance and stigma in our society. I respect how Catherine Zeta-Jones handled her bipolar diagnosis and is out in the open about it. It's too bad Amanda Bynes is unwilling to find out if there is an issue. I hope her parents can do something. Her behavior must be a great concern to them.

It's the printing press or the euro
Despite the latest deal, the European Central Bank remains unwilling to pump out cash as readily as its counterparts elsewhere. And that's the only real way to save the euro.
Hopes were no doubt running high this week that somehow a solution to the euro crisis would be found at the European summit, which began Thursday. Unfortunately, however, that was always extremely unlikely, as I'm sure anyone who thought about it could see.
In fact, world markets rallied Friday on headlines about a deal that includes letting European banks borrow from the European Stability Mechanism, a rescue fund. Details were sketchy, as usual, but a deal in and of itself will not provide much relief.
We need to be clear about what separates the European Union from everyone else and, though I have discussed this ad nauseam, I think it is worth repeating: The problem the Europeans face is the fact that the individual countries, and the European Central Bank collectively, are unwilling to use the printing press with reckless abandon.
The only way is the wrong way
That does not mean they aren't printing already, because they are: Witness the balance sheet of the ECB, which is now more than $3 trillion. Rather, the stumbling block is that the ECB doesn't stand ready to print money in unlimited quantities as the "winners" of the monetary world are, i.e., the U.S., Japan, Switzerland, the U.K., etc.
I don't mean to imply that using the printing press is an intelligent choice, nor is it a solution. In fact, printing money has caused the economic woes of America and the rest of the world. However, as I have said often, we are not going to rid ourselves of this menace until it is carried to its logical conclusion.
Thus, we can only hope that the crisis in Europe will rise to the point where the Germans choose the printing press as the least-bad option. To my mind, they will never agree to "eurobonds," jointly issued bonds proposed as a way to lower borrowing costs for struggling nations. But I do think that, at some point, the ECB will choose to print money, despite the objections from Germany, as opposed to seeing the euro collapse.
A default line in the sand
Though I have felt rather strongly that the problem is as I have described it, I hadn't seen it laid out just that way by others until George Soros defined it similarly in an interview for Bloomberg TV just this week. He said: "The individual members don't now control the right to print money -- they have given that over to the central bank, you see, and that has created the situation with a European country that could actually default, and that is the risk that the financial markets price into the market."
Thus, if he and I are right, it would seem at some point the powers that be in Europe will decide that printing money is better than the disaster scenario conjured in their heads when they think of the consequences of the eurozone fracturing.
The house of cards that Jack built
While I'm on the subject of wrongheaded policies that are perceived to be panaceas, I would also like to point out that the problem in the housing market in America is not that prices are too low but rather that they are still too high. The solution to high prices is high prices. That is what brings on supply, which then curbs demand, just as the solution to low prices is low prices, whereby demand increases, which leads to higher prices and ultimately an increase in supply.
In The New York Times last Sunday, in a lead editorial headlined, "Still depressed after all these years," the editors indicated that we need to avoid "falling prices," stating that, "policymakers need to take steps now to prevent a renewed housing downturn."
The real-estate bubble -- which was aided, abetted and exacerbated by irresponsible lending -- resulted in prices in the stratosphere. If the "authorities" would stand back and encourage the foreclosure process to run to its conclusion and allow prices to fall, the real-estate market would clear, and then cease to be a problem at all.
Besides, there isn't a printing press out there that can keep up with the speed of all the lies that the liars are telling. If greed and avarice was currency all these idiots would be trillionaires.
Economics 101
We need deflation now to increase employment. We have low fixes wages and high unemployment. Inflation like high gas prices reduces the consumers buying power. Deflation will increase consumer buying power, increasing demand and employment. The Fed needs to stop printing money, it is causing unemployment.
Want to fix these banking issues raise the fractional reserve rate which will force the world to go back to a cash and savings society instead of living on credit and fake money. Yes it will take time to right the wrong but this is the only true way. You throw money at the problems without creating strict regulations to prevent it from happening again and what have you done? Nothing. What got us in this mess to begin with? CREDIT! Giving fake money to people that couldnt pay it back and when others came calling for the money the owed they didnt have it and the fractional reserve trickle down effect hit everyone....HARD! When businesses start expanding with cash only when they know they can afford it we will have real true economic expansion based on market factors. When businesses expand on credit just to put a store someplace before a competitor you are creating problems.

text: , an ex-Microsoft employee was arrested for leaking trade secrets and internal Windows related software builds to a blogger. Court documents revealed that Microsoft snooped into Outlook/Hotmail accounts of the blogger to crack down this case. Some news sites accused Microsoft for snooping customer's (in this case blogger's) email account. Electronic Frontier Foundation today raised the same issue criticizing Microsoft for searching blogger's Outlook/Hotmail contents without court warrant. To the contrary, if Microsoft's independent legal team concluded that there was probable cause, it could have passed the tipster's information to the FBI to obtain a warrant and conduct the search under the auspices of the criminal justice system.

Instead, Microsoft has opted for an internal corporate shadow court. To be sure, the process described in Microsoft's statement ...Read More →

CHARLESTON (AP) — West Virginia hunters killed a
record number of black bears last year during the archery and firearms
The Division of Natural Resources says the 2,683 black
bears killed represented a 34 percent increase from 2011. It's also 12
percent higher than the previous record set in 2010.
The DNR says
the numbers were buoyed by an abundant mast supply, an additional two
weeks of archery hunting and multiple counties being open for a
September firearms hunt.
Hunters killed 746 bears during the archery season and 1,937 during various firearm seasons.

Goldbraith notes in an interview in Washington Monthly: "...there is the big problem: How to recapitalize the household sector? How to restore the security and prosperity they've lost? How to build the productive economy for the next generation? Is there anything today that we might do that can compare with the transformation of World War II? Almost surely, there is not: World War II doubled production in five years."

I went through a big burger phase until I saw what it was doing to my waistline, and during that time I had bought a Groupon to Bareburger, a burger place that prides itself on being organic and all-natural. According to the web site, this is the differentiation in those terms: "'All-natural' means that the food does not contain artificial additives; this designation is based on the testimony of the provider. 'Organic' means that the product comes from at least 90% organic ingredients, while the term '100% organic' means that all of the ingredients are organic." They also list that the meats are primarily local, coming from suppliers in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. And the bison and elk come from Montana. You know I love when I know where my food is coming from! With that said, I love the idea of Bareburger. It has a casual feel, a great craft beer menu, a diversified burger list both in terms of meats and toppings, and I love knowing that the food is in fact organic or all-natural. Some things I really liked, other things were ok. While I'm certainly not going to call it my favorite burger, I would definitely go back.
Food Rundown:
(Right: Original Bareburger, Left: Jalapeno Express)
Original Bareburger: I figure you always have to start with the original. This came with colby jack, lettuce, tomato, raw red onion and bareburger special sauce and is recommended with beef (so that's what I got medium). For an original burger though it was average. When I eat a beef burger I want the juice to drip down my face. And that didn't happen with this. Though definitely cooked medium, there was a certain stiff dryness that perhaps comes with a lean, organic beef burger. With that said, I just wouldn't order beef here. I think it's the kind of place where since the point of the burgers is that they be lean, you go for one of the meats that's traditionally lean to begin with.
Jalapeno Express: This burger comes with pepperjack, romaine lettuce, tomato, raw red onion, jalapeno relish, and horseradish mayo and chipotle ketchup, recommended with elk. The flavors on this burger are fantastic. I'm still thinking about the jalapeno relish, which was legitimately spicy and really delicious. The elk burger was good too. Though it also was lacking in juiciness, all of the other flavors on this burger compensated for that, and I really liked the texture of the elk. I highly recommend getting this burger or one of the more flavor-heavy options because that's what Bareburger does well.
Rings and Fries Bareburger Combo: This is a big basket of onion rings and fries served with 4 dipping sauces: peppercorn steak sauce, curry ketchup, spicy chipotle mayo, and Bareburger special sauce. The fries here are amazing. The cut of fry, and I think the oil they are cooked in, make them some of my favorite fries around. The dipping sauces are also really great with the curry ketchup being one of the best flavor concoctions. I couldn't stop eating it. The spicy chipotle mayo and the Bareburger special sauce were similar in nature, and I couldn't tell which was which, but both were good. The steak sauce was standard. While I kind of liked the onion rings after heavily salting them, there was too much breading in proportion to the onion. My friend and I concluded they were just sort of a waste of calories. Stick to the fries and heavily consume that curry ketchup.

International medical graduates (foreign physicians who attend medical school and receive a medical degree in a foreign country) are permitted to come to the United States for residency training on a J-1 Visa. Upon completion of residency training, these physicians are required to return to their home country for two years before applying for a new U.S. Visa. The two year home return requirement may be waived if the physician is willing to practice medicine, full-time for three years, in an underserved area of the United States. The State Conrad 30 J-1 Visa Waiver Program allows state governments to act as an interested governmental agency in recommending a Visa rule waiver, to the U.S. Department of State, for qualified international medical graduates.
The goal of the Colorado program is to place physicians in underserved areas of the state to increase access to primary and specialty medical services. The Colorado program places approximately 10 physicians per year. Applications for placement of physicians are submitted to the Primary Care Office by the health care facility desiring to employ the J-1 physician. The applicant is expected to demonstrate a need for the physician's field of expertise.
The Primary Care Office, with the support of an expert review committee, will evaluate the application and recommend its approval to the US Department of State. If the Department of State approves the application, it is forwarded to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services for final processing. The complete application and approval process typically takes from three to six months from the date of receipt in the Primary Care Office.
Effective April 14th, 2010 an application review fee will be assessed for all applications submitted to the Primary Care Office.

We talk a lot about electric cars, but gains in gasoline fuel efficiency are just as important right now as advancing vehicle battery technology. So it's pretty exciting that Hyundai is aiming for a fleet-wide average fuel economy of at least 50 MPG by 2025.
The automaker is already on track to hit the federal fuel economy requirement of a fleet-wide average of tramadol on line 35.5 MPG a year in advance of the 2016 deadline, and they're hoping to keep upping that efficiency far beyond that marker.
The car company is http://www.celebratinglife.org/canadian-levitra-and-healthcare planning on achieving this through improvements in powertrains, gasoline direct injection, turbocharging, the addition of hybrids and www.privateeryachts.com PHEVs to their fleet and utilizing lighter materials.
It's great to see an automaker independently shooting for these types of efficiency gains that we really need to official canadian pharmacy see across the board.

Megan, seriously? This is not news. This is the same song.
In 15 years! (15 years!), a major auto company plans to increase fuel efficiency to what fuel efficiency could have been 20 years...in the past. Way to go. Way to think big.
I imagine that an Ecogeek understands that solving problems (eg., avoiding nonrenewable, polluting resources) involves not using the price of viagra same kind of thinking used to created the problem. (h/t Einstein).
I know, I know...everyone's a critic. But, come on, I expect more. I expect not to read regurgitated press releases.
written by Luca Masters, August 07, 2010
written by hyperspaced, August 09, 2010
That sounds like a joke especially when you can buy TODAY a Prius with 60 mpg efficiency. But the again it's Hyundai.
written by Concerned, August 16, 2010
@Luca Masters: I think you're missing the point.
I posted my concern, first and foremost, because the use of petrochemicals is the problem. If Hyundai claimed they would be increasing fleet fuel efficiency to 100MPG, I would still denounce claims of "progress". As an analogy, if I keep hitting my finger with a hammer, the solution of www.celebratinglife.org slowing the thegracedarlinghotel.com.au rate of hitting my finger doesn't solve the problem. My finger will still hurt.
I need to achieve the same goal either without my finger or without the hammer. That's why Einstein said, and I quoted above, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
Engineers need to rethink the entire process of powering transportation. Likewise, consumers must demand that those engineers, and the companies for whom they work, make those changes. I realize that cars and personal transportation aren't going away. That said, a solution must be created that satisfies personal transportation requirements while respecting the environment helps. If you have not already, read "Cradle to Cradle". They formulate the canadian generic levitra best, in my opinion, approach to solving societal/economic/
environmental issues.
Second, even if I assume that "small steps" help, the "step" of 50MPG in 15 years (15 years!) is laughable. Hyundai might not even reach that goal; they might get sidetracked. Plus, imagine what can and has happened in 15 years. In California, people have been driving the RAV4 EV electric vehicle for 13 years!
That's 13 years in the past! RAV4 drivers have not been to a gas station in 13 years, let alone used a car that might achieve 50MPG...15 years in the future.
I think your heart, along with Megan's, is in the right place. But your brains lag a little. I don't blame you, however, I blame the marketing geniuses at oil companies and automotive companies. They're smarter than you and me.
Unfortunately, society has more time, resources, and brain power devoted to products/services that destroy the environment than save the environment. Until that dynamic changes, until the system provides for a college student or entreprenuer to get rich off the next product/service that saves the tramadol rx life online environment, nothing will change. The system is getting better, but it still has lots of bias (based on all the cash housed with the bad actors).

On Nov. 24 at 9:30 p.m. a man came into Tarrytown Police headquarters reporting he believed he was hit by a car while riding his bicycle on North Broadway near the Post Office around 5 p.m. that day.
The man had allegedly been riding northbound when he was suddenly knocked to the ground. He said he did not remember a particular car hitting him but bystanders who came to his aid reportedly asked him, "Did that car just hit you?"
The man was able to make his way home after the accident. But then he was transported by his wife to Phelps Memorial Hospital emergency room where he was apparently treated for a fractured left collar bone and a cut above his left eye that required stitches.
No witness information was available, but the victim wanted the report filed in case a witness did call police with any more information for further investigation.
According to Lieutenant William Herguth no witnesses called to follow up with police, neither did anyone call police at the time of the alleged incident.
"There was no report of it other than him reporting it to us," Herguth said.

Rep. Paul Tonko was in the Congressional hearing room when Josh Fox, the director of the Oscar-nominated and controversial hydrofracking documentary "Gasland," was arrested by Capitol police; he was subsequently charged with unlawful entry.
"I thought it was overreach in a situation where tolerance would have been more appropriate," Tonko said in a phone interview.
House Republicans explained to the AP that Fox tried to film the proceedings of the Science, Space & Technology subcommittee without seeking proper media credentials. He's currently is at work on a "Gasland" sequel.
Today's meeting was devoted to the EPA's draft findings on groundwater contamination near fracking wells in Wyoming; the subcommittee's own account of the hearing on its home page suggests a concerted EPA beatdown.
"It seemed to be an attack on EPA," said Tonko, who called it a sign of a depressingly political cast to a subcommittee that used to be dominated by science.
"If you're secure in your position and secure in your science, you shouldn't be threatened by a film crew," Tonko said.
