Brian A. Fallon, MD
Professor of Clinical Psychiatry
Brian A. Fallon, MD, MPH, is the director of the Center for Neuroinflammatory Disorders and Biobehavioral Medicine and director of the Lyme and Tick-Borne Diseases Research Center at Columbia University.
A graduate of Harvard College, he obtained his M.D. degree from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, as well as a master's degree in public health epidemiology from Columbia University.
He did his medical internship at Columbia University Medical Center and research training and an NIH fellowship in biological psychiatry at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and the New York State Psychiatric Institute.
In addition to his work on illness anxiety, hypochondriasis, obsessive compulsive disorder, and somatoform disorders, Dr. Fallon is recognized internationally for his research on neurologic and neuropsychiatric Lyme disease. He has served on expert panels for the National Institutes of Health in different areas, including OCD and neurologic and chronic Lyme Disease, and has received over $10 million in both private and governmental grants to continue his research. He is the recipient of many awards, including the Laughlin Award from the American College of Psychiatrists, two commencement awards from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons (Richard Raynor Watson Award and the Titus Munson Coan Prize for best essay in Biomedical Research ("The Rise of Tuberculosis among the Homeless Mentally Ill"), the Columbia University Horwitz Award for excellence in Research, the Columbia Universit Medical Student Teacher of the Year award for psychiatry, a NARSAD Principal Investigator Award (2006), and the Roseke award from the American Psychaitric Association for outstanding teaching to medical students (2008). His major research interests cut across the boundaries of medicine, psychiatry, nuclear medicine and neurology.
A primary focus is on the pathophysiologic mechanisms and treatment underlying persistent cognitive impairment, fatigue, and pain among patients with histories of Lyme or other Tick borne diseases. This interest leads to collaborative studies involving proteomics, genomics, neuroimaging, cognitive remediation, treatment trials, and the search for more sensitive and specific diagnostic biomarkers. This expertise has also led to new projects in psychiatry, such a a NARSAD funded study of the role of ceftriaxone (an IV antibiotic) as a treatment for patients with refractory psychoses, examining improvement clinically and in glutamatergic change using MR Spectroscopy. Dr. Fallon is also a leader in the area of somatoform disorders, particularly the pharamcotherapy of hypochondriasis and is currently conducting both treatment and functional neuroimaging studies in these areas and serves as an advisor to the Anxiety and Obsessional Disorders DSM-V workgroup.

Primary research interests include: a) diagnostic and treatment studies of neurologic and chronic Lyme disease, using neuroimaging to identify markers of neuroinflammation; b) clinical resarch neuroimaging and treatment trials of hypochondriasis; and c) studies of immune markers in patients with somatic symptoms.
Lyme-Related Research
1. SPECT imaging of Lyme disease vs Depression vs Healthy controls. This study aims to determine whether brain SPECT imaging when used clinically and assessed blind to diagnosis can help in the differential diagnosis of Lyme disease.
2. Laboratory testing for Lyme disease. This study aims to contrast the sensitivity and specificity of different lab tests at different commercial and specialty labs to determine the value of these tests in the diagnosis of patients with chronic Lyme disease.
3. Proteomics in Lyme Disease. This study is a collaborative project between investigators at the NIH, UMDNJ, the Department of Energy, and us at Columbia. The aim is to identify unique proteins among patients with chronic Lyme disease as a device to identify better diagnostic tools and biomarkers of treatment response.
4. Immune Complexes in Lyme Disease. This study aims to identify Bb-specific immune complexes in the CSF of patients with Chronic Lyme disease vs masked controls.
5. Tick studies. This project being conducted by Dr. Tokarz aims to identify novel organisms with ticks that may be agents of human disease. This research is being conducted collaboratively with Dr. Ian Lipkin of the Greene Infectious Disease Lab at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.
Somatoform Disorders Research
1. Dual-site treatment Study of hypochondriasis using Fluoxetine vs Placebo vs CBT vs CBT and Fluoxetine. This study aims to determine which is the most effective treatment both short- and long-term for patients with excessive illness fears.
2. fMRI Study of Hypochondriasis vs OCD vs Healthy Controls. This study aims to compare the neural activation patterns of patients vs healthy controls when exposed to a virtual reality cognitive task that teases out implicit vs explicit memory challenges. Conducted by Dr. Kelli Harding in collaboration with Dr. Bard Peterson.
Psychosis-Related Research
1. Study of efficacy of 8 weeks of IV ceftriaxone for patients with refractory psychosis. This study aims to determine in a double-blind placebo-controlled fashion whether the IV antibiotic ceftriaxone would be effective for patients who have not responded well to typical or atypical antipsychotic medications.
2. Because the primary hypothesis underlying the study above relates to ceftriaxone's unique impact on GLT1 (glutamate transporter), we are also conducting MR Spectroscopy on these patients before and after treatment to see if there is within subject change in response to ceftriaxone that can be measured by MR Spectroscopy. Conducted in collaboration with Dr. Kegeles, Peterson, and Shungu.
Future Studies
1) PET receptor studies of markers of microglial activation.

Neo-Synephrine Patient Information Including Side Effects
Brand Names: AK-Dilate, AK-Nefrin, Isopto Frin, Mydfrin, Neofrin, Neo-Synephrine Ophthalmic
Generic Name: phenylephrine ophthalmic (Pronunciation: fen ill EFF rin)
- What is phenylephrine ophthalmic (Neo-Synephrine)?
- What are the possible side effects of phenylephrine ophthalmic?
- What is the most important information I should know about phenylephrine ophthalmic?
- What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using phenylephrine ophthalmic?
- How should I use phenylephrine ophthalmic?
- What happens if I miss a dose?
- What happens if I overdose?
- What should I avoid while using phenylephrine ophthalmic?
- What other drugs will affect phenylephrine ophthalmic?
- Where can I get more information?
What is phenylephrine ophthalmic (Neo-Synephrine)?
Phenylephrine ophthalmic causes constriction of blood vessels in the eyes. It also enlarges the pupils, reduces the production of fluid in the eyes, and increases the amount of fluid that drains from the eyes.
Phenylephrine ophthalmic available over-the-counter is used to relieve redness, burning, irritation, and dryness of the eye caused by wind, sun, and other minor irritants. Prescription-strength phenylephrine ophthalmic is used to constrict blood vessels in the eye and to dilate (make bigger) the pupil for conditions such as glaucoma, before surgery, and before eye examinations.
Phenylephrine ophthalmic may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of phenylephrine ophthalmic?
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop using phenylephrine ophthalmic and seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor immediately:
- an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, face, or tongue; or hives);
- an irregular or fast heart rate; or
- high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision, or flushed skin).
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to use phenylephrine ophthalmic and talk to your doctor if you experience
- burning, stinging, pain, or increased redness of the eye;
- tearing or blurred vision;
- headache;
- tremor;
- nausea;
- sweating;
- nervousness;
- dizziness; or
- drowsiness.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Neo-Synephrine (phenylephrine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about phenylephrine ophthalmic?
Do not touch the dropper to any surface, including the eyes or hands. The dropper is sterile. If it becomes contaminated, it could cause an infection in the eye.
If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying phenylephrine ophthalmic. Ask your doctor if contact lenses can be reinserted after application of the medication. Phenylephrine ophthalmic may contains preservative (benzalkonium chloride), which may cause discoloration of contact lenses.
Do not use phenylephrine ophthalmic more often or continuously for longer than 48 to 72 hours without consulting a doctor. Chronic use of this medication may damage the blood vessels (veins and arteries) in the eyes. Consult a doctor if your symptoms do not improve or appear to worsen.
Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Phenylephrine ophthalmic may cause blurred vision. If you experience blurred vision, avoid these activities.

As most barflies know, Green Russell—Frank Bonanno's classic cocktail bar that lies beneath Larimer Square—opens this Thursday at 6 p.m. But last night, I got a sneak peek.
What a contrast from two months ago, when I initially walked the location with Bonanno. Then, it looked more like a dilapidated drug den than a potential bar or restaurant space. Now, with long bars staffed with talented mixologists (not the least of which is partner Adam Hodak), loungey chairs and tables, and cool blue walls, Green Russell feels like it's been there all along.
The place, first and foremost, is a cocktail bar in the vein of a pre-Prohibition-style speakeasy. The drink list is well-edited—just six offerings—because the bartenders hope customers will give them freedom to work their magic (tell them your spirit of choice, and they'll create something just for you). If that's giving up too much control, opt for the Bitter End, a whiskey cocktail turned on its ear with a splash of Prosecco and a dash of herby Fernet Branca.
The menu is all about bar snacks—simple, accessible, and comforting. This isn't a place to go for, say, a multicourse meal, but it's perfect for a before-dinner drink and nibble or cocktails and late-night eats. One must-try is the silky, potted smoked trout, which comes topped with zesty pesto waiting to be swirled into the mix. The combo of mild fish and crème fraîche spread on crusty baguette slices is something I could eat every day.
The sandwiches and French-bread pizzas are more entrée-esque in size and heft. The meatloaf sammy with melted Swiss, caramelized onions, and house-made Thousand Island dressing is barely contained between the slices of baguette—and it's comfort food at its absolute best. The same crusty bread makes up the pizzas, which are lighter than the sandwiches and easier to share. I tried the lusty combination of wild mushrooms with goat cheese and slices of sausage (from Luca D'Italia's curing room).
For dessert, there's pie from Wednesday's Pie, which is the gateway for Green Russell.
Bonus: The pie shop officially opens at 11 a.m. this Wednesday with three offerings: apple, pumpkin, and banana cream. Buy a slice or the whole thing. Open until sell-out.
Open Thursday through Sunday 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., 1422 Larimer St., 303-893-6505

text: Champion joins Gold Coast Titans Gold Coast Titans | May 13 2011 10:42AM The Jetstar Gold Coast Titans have added further strike power to their backline for next season with Melbourne centre Beau Champion today signing a three-year contract with the club. Champion will join the Titans from next season until the end of 2014 after being formally granted a release from the final years of his existing contract with the Melbourne Storm. The 24-year-old will join rising superstar Jamal Idris in the Titans backline for next season, adding further depth and strike power to a roster which already includes fellow flyers Kevin Gordon and David Mead. The 186cm, 96kg centre, who has represented City Origin over the past two years as well as the Indigenous All Stars, said he had enjoyed his time at the Storm but for personal reasons had elected to make his move north to the Titans.

- - Qualifications to teach in Aus??
Qualifications to teach in Aus?? Do you need to have coaching qualifications to teach beginners lessons? Im most worried about insurance issues, but of couse I would have a liability release. Can anyone give me some advise about starting a small teaching business?? |
Teaching horseriding lessons I assume? |
If your talking about riding instructor then I'm not sure about legally but I think it would be a good idea if you did have some qualifications. People who come to you are more likly to hire you that way. You could take some short (few month) courses on the subject. I think some TAFE do them. And I think you can also do an apprenticeship or traineeship with other qualified instructors if you can find one who's willing. But if you are just wanting to teach a few friends or something and you have plenty of experience then i don't see why you can't but if you are looking to do it professionally then I would recommend getting some qualifications. |
I don't have any qualifications and I teach a few teenagers to ride. But they are well aware and i just have their parents sign a liability waiver for me. I would love to get qualifications but it can be a little pricey. If I was going to teach as a business then yeah I would definitely go and do a course but it is more of a hobby for me with a little cash incentive :) |
you can register with the EFA as an intro coach which qualifies you to teach. you can do your coaching independently as in you dont need to be working at a riding school or something. if you want more detailed info just pm me. i went through all this recently when i registered as intro coach for my job. i have left that job now unfortunately but i am still working my way through by myself |
Yeah like Jaimie, it would only be a few local people I already know, most of them have riden the horse before, but what concerns me is when you take money, things can become more complicated. |
Well I am not running it as a profitable business either so I don't declare the money :oops: But if you are going to be running it as a business it might be different, especially the amount you would charge if you were qualified. |
i also did private lessons here and there before i started working towards my level 1. i guess if its just here and there its not so bad |

Third Party Registration and Payment
Registering for or making a payment for a student? You'll need to be listed on an Authorization for Third Party Registration and Payments form completed by the student.
Find the form here: Authorization for Third Party Registration and Payments
You can also pick one up in the Enrollment Services or Academic Counseling offices!
Alternative Payment Plan
Need to extend payments? We've contracted with an outside vendor so you can. Here's the scoop: Nelnet program info.
Tuition Refund Policy
Per Board Policy 417, the tuition refund policy is:
- If you withdraw from a credit course or from SCC during the first three weeks after the start of the semester, a refund will be processed based on the withdrawal date.
- If you withdraw from a credit course or from SCC, you may receive a tuition refund for that session or semester if an Add-Drop Form is completed and filed with Enrollment Services within a specified time, or if you withdraw through SCC Connection. The date of the Add-Drop Form or the date of the online drop is used to determine the refund amount.
Percentage of Refund | Time Frame of Refund |
100% | Day 1-7 of semester |
80% | Day 8-14 of semester |
60% | Day 15-21 of semester |
NOTE: Refund amounts are determined by specific dates within each semester for all classes, and are prorated for courses less than 16 weeks long.
A full refund of tuition and fees is made if the college cancels a scheduled class.
See the Tuition Refund Schedule for dates.
How to Pay for Classes
Registering online gives you lots of options for paying: online, by mail or in person! Online is simple enough, but here's the scoop on your other options:
Paying by Mail
- Pay by check. Don't send cash (for your protection)! Make checks payable to St. Charles Community College.
- Write your student ID number on your check. If the name on the check is different than the student name, make sure you write the student's name on it, too.
- Checks must include imprinted name and include a phone number with area code. Sorry, we can't accept bank starter checks. No two party checks, either.
- Checks must be for the exact amount and must be received by the Cashier's Office by the announced deadline.
- Mail to:
St Charles Community College
Attn: Cashier
4601 Mid Rivers Mall Drive
Cottleville, MO 63376-2865 - Your canceled check is your receipt.
- There is a $20 fee charged for each check returned by the bank. Returned checks may be turned over to a collection agency, and you may be removed from classes.
Paying in Person
- Same process as paying by mail, except we get to see you face to face. Just bring your check to the Cashier's Office, or deposit in the drop box next to it.
- We do accept cash, but only if you're paying in person.
- You can pay by credit card – we take Visa, MasterCard, and Discover!
Change of Address
Any change of address that changes your residency rates must be submitted before the first day of class during the semester the change takes place.
You'll need to show proof of residency with the address change information!

¶ The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi. |
I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, |
And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. |
Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever. |
And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel. |
A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? |
Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. |
And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts. |
And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the LORD of hosts. |
Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. |
For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts. |
But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible. |
Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD. |
But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen. |

NEW YORK—For a major part of the world, food is one of the things that occupies the thoughts of the greatest number of people. We thought rather narrowly about this great gift given to our country, namely, surplus of foods.
We have tried in various ways to bring about an equality of earning power for the men and women who live on our farms and produce the food, and for the men and women in industry. To do this, we thought only in terms of keeping up a domestic price and cutting down surpluses, which became a burden to us.
This showed lack of imagination and, I think, lack of trust in the ability of the American people to comprehend the real problems of the world today. With a large part of the world hungry, particularly the children, we did devise some ways of selling surplus food, receiving in payment the currencies of various countries and using these currencies for government purposes within those countries.
We even engaged in a certain amount of barter, but this did not actually use up the surpluses which we had or might have had. We have never said to our farmers:
"You are among the most important people in our country. You can make friends for us all over the world. You can give us a diplomatic weapon unsurpassed by any in the hands of any other nation, for you will meet the vital needs of masses of people the world over. Your government will work with the United Nations agency of food and agriculture. It will discover through that agency's studies where your production can be of most value."
Surely the farm organizations in our country, together with our agricultural scientists and farm experts, can work out a detailed plan to use the farm people of our nation—men and women engaged in the most fundamental of all industries—as one of the ways to meet the Soviet threat and to show that we understand the need of the peoples of the world and are ready to help in a practical way.
I have talked with farm people. I know they are glad to help not only for humanitarian reasons but for patriotic reasons. They are proud to feel that they have a real contribution to make to the safety of their country. We have no surpluses as long as there are hungry people both in our own country and throughout the world.
How you accomplish these ends are details to be worked out. But as an example our own government, having once decided that we must produce to the maximum, could set aside a small amount to see to it that school lunches were amply provided for, that welfare budgets—presently not tied to the cost of living and frequently not providing an adequate diet—are supplemented and that people living on fixed pensions are also provided with the means for a better diet.
Then, relieved of certain expenditures geared to prevent production, the government might well be able to work out a subsidy for transportation of food and for buying all extra surpluses to be produced and sold with U.N. advice and agreement at a world price, as far as possible, and to be given where the need is great and the ability to buy inadequate.
It is a difference in investment which might pay dividends in goodwill.

Marissa Mayer left Google in a hurry, only giving the tech company 30 minutes' notice before starting her new job as chief executive officer at Yahoo, a report said Tuesday.
A source "familiar with the details of her dramatic hiring" told Business Insider that she left Google and told her colleagues just 30 minutes before Yahoo announced she was joining its company as CEO. The reason? Yahoo wanted to make sure it kept Google from luring her back with extravagant offers.
Strangely, a new tale has spread across Silicon Valley saying that Mayer is a double agent for Google, Business Insider reported, and this new telling of Mayer's exit may extinguish that flaming gossip. That, and it also seems ridiculous.
Google was attempting to buy Yahoo's ad tech business earlier this year and the deal looked like it would happen -- essentially plundering Yahoo for Google gain -- but then there was Mayer's sudden hiring, and the deal died. It's likely if Yahoo hired the same loser CEOs it usually does, the deal would have gone through, shares would have risen, thousands people would be laid off and Yahoo would be one step closer to death.
The goal of a CEO is not just to raise share prices, but also to grow the company and make it profitable. Mayer seems to be running Yahoo how Google used to be (some say it's because it's familiar to her) but also because Mayer was there in the midst of Google's growth. Perhaps Mayer has a magic formula, or maybe she's just running Yahoo like a good company should be run.

One of my dad's specialty, cranks-it-out-for-dinner-parties dishes is taro root with chicken. He poaches chicken, uses the resulting stock to cook sliced taro root for hours until it's buttery and meltingly soft, and mixes in the poached chicken (pulled into thin slivers that disappear into the "melted" taro) along with some chopped scallions. It's delicious.
So, taro + chicken = delicious. Taro + chocolate? We'll see. I bought this box of Choco Roll Taro solely because it was so weird! If you've never had it, taro is a root vegetable that's sort of like an extra starchy, slightly sweet and nutty, purple potato.
Ever thought, "Gee, I like mashed potatoes, but I bet they'd be better with chocolate instead of gravy"? Well, some Asian person thought the equivalent for the taro. From the looks of the purple frosting and cherry covered thing on the box, the Choco Roll Taro might be based off of some pre-existing dessert concoction.
Each individually wrapped Choco Roll Taro is a pink and purple speckled taro root center inside a round wafer roll, all covered in a yellow-y white chocolate. Don't worry – the purple center isn't nearly as bright as it looks on the box. In fact, the mottled pink/red flecked center is rather pretty.
The taro center tastes like pasty, extra-starchy mashed potato with a hint of nuttiness and lots of added sweetness. The extra sweet comes through in the finish and ends on a rather fruity note.
The wafer layer is unremarkable: airy, bland, and crisp. It serves its textural and structural purpose well, at least. Finally, the white chocolate outside is kind of greasy and pretty bland. I'm not a white chocolate fan, so I have little experience in picking out flavor notes in white chocolate. It just tasted like regular old sweet white chocolate to me.
All in all, I think I'll continue to take my taro with chicken rather than chocolate. The flavor combination is just too strange for me to appreciate, and that strangeness overrides any ooh factor that the interplay of paste and crunch and melt could have brought.
I ate half of a roll to taste; the rest of the box disappeared when I moved. I may have given it away back in New Haven, or it could be buried in my candy stash somewhere. Either way, a taste is plenty Choco Roll Taro for me. It gets a no lettered — for being harmlessly not tasty.

Welcome to the Medicine Creek Winery
We are a boutique winery located on a farm in the Nisqually Valley, near Olympia, Washington. The farm is the head waters for the Medicine Creek and the creek eventually joins with the McCallister Creek and then into Puget Sound.
The Nisqually Valley is an area steeped in deep historical significance and is thought to be the original homestead of James McCallister, who settled the Nisqually Valley in the mid 1800's. The building itself was constructed almost a quarter century ago, originally for direct sales of farm produce. Since that time, the barn has undergone many different uses with a SLOW transformation to its present condition. This structure represents the lifelong efforts of the winemaker, his family and a handful of his dedicated friends. Together they have blended their talents and creativity resulting in a unique and warm environment.
Located in the barn is the tasting room, wine processing area, barrel room and dance floor. Visiting the award wining tasting room is like stepping back in time to a 1800's vintage New Orleans brothel. From the tasting room you will be able to view the barrel room and dance floor and, if your lucky, observe the wine making process.The barn has limited availability for your own functions.

i couldn't resist adding another driftwood related diy project from jess chamberlain at sunset magazine. i'm tempted to call my parents and see if they can send me some driftwood from the beach at home. the steps are simple so i've posted the whole project right here. enjoy! [thanks, jess!]
Project: Driftwood Rack
Turn a scavenged piece of driftwood into an organic-chic entryway rack in 30 minutes or less. (For regulations on collecting driftwood, check with your local state beach authority.)
- 1. Our piece of driftwood happened to lie flat against the wall; if yours doesn't, use a band saw to cut off one-third of the driftwood lengthwise.
2. With four round hook screws (available at home improvement stores) and a handheld electric drill, drill four holes into the bottom of your driftwood, angling them forward slightly so the hooks won't lean against the wall. Use a drill bit the width of your screw's shank.
3. With the help of a wrench, screw the hook ends into the wood, tightening them so they all face forward.
4. Secure your driftwood to a wall using two long screws, spaced so each is secured in a wall stud.

New Estimates of the Average Tariff of the United States, 1790-1820
This paper presents new estimates of the average tariff on total and dutiable U.S. imports from 1790 to 1820. These previously unavailable series are comparable to the tariff figures available from 1821 in the Historical Statistics of the United States. These early tariffs were much lower, on average, than those imposed later in the nineteenth century. The paper stresses the importance of deducting drawbacks (tariff rebates on imported goods that are subsequently re-exported) from total customs revenue in calculating the average tariff and briefly examines the structure of tariffs across goods.

What do Roommates Fight About? How to Deal it with a Friendship Contract Template
By | June 30, 2013
Anybody who has ever had roommates can tell you that it is not always easy. Whenever you are living with people that you may not know well, conflicts are bound to arise. There will be conflicts that have to do with clashing personality types, lifestyles, and personal habits, splitting the bills, cleaning, the use of common space, and other issues.
How then, does one manage to get along with roommates, making life easier for everybody? It is possible, and the friendship contract template is perhaps your best answer. Arguments are inevitable when you have roommates so have a plan in place ahead of time to deal with it and that is where the friendship contract template comes in.
The Friendship Contract Template / Roommate Agreement Template
This is a simple way to head off roommate conflicts before they start. Granted, when you move in with roommates, you are most likely not friends with them. However, given that you are going to be living together, you need to consider each other as friends, hence, the friendship contract template.
Having a plan in place to get along with your roommates is smart. Your agreement contract can be constantly evolving, and it is for everybody's benefit, not just yours. It is a concept that might be new, but once explained, the others should be on board because it is a great tool to manage conflicts!
Your roommate contract template will allow you and your roommates to set ground rules that you must all follow. You will all need to sign the contract and anytime something is amended, you will all need to either sign again or initial the changes.
Essentially, your friendship contract breaks down what is expected of each of you. Cover all of the main areas where conflict might arise; the sections that follow this one will give you some ideas of what you might need to cover. As you begin living together, you will be able to amend your contract to cover specific areas that you need to. You cannot anticipate exactly how you will, or will not, get along without living together first.
When problems arise, if it is something handled in the contract, then just remind them that it was something they agreed to. Stop fights before they get out of control! If it is something that is not in the friendship agreement contract, then sit down and work out how it needs to be added and what can be done to prevent this fight from happening again in the future.
The rules of the friendship agreement contract are up to you and your roommates. Some people choose to have "punishments" for those who break the terms of the contract. Such as treating everybody to pizza, or getting dish duty for a few days. That is something that needs to be worked out between you all, just remember, you are not exempt either!
The terms of the contract can be anything, but you have to have terms and consequences for breaking the rules. In life, if you break a rule, you have to face the music. Same with roommates, you cannot just have one that thinks they are the exception; which is why you all draft this together, and you all stick to it. No matter what the terms are, you all stick to them, consequences, and all.
This is something that you cannot really ask people to change. What you can do is put in a clause about being tolerant of each other. Just because you are outgoing, your roommates may not be. A laid-back roommate and a stricter roommate can get along very easily, with the roommate agreement contract template; it will help prevent personality clashes from turning into big fights.
Lifestyles & Personal Habits
One of you is messy and the other neat. Using your friendship contract template will help this common cause of roommate fighting as well. You can cover things such as having guests over, noise at night, borrowing stuff without asking and other issues using your contract.
If everybody gives a little bit and compromises, then you can make your roommate situation conflict free. If a conflict does arise, you will have your contract to fall back upon to help you resolve it, quickly and with no long-drawn issues.
Common Spaces
Common issues tend to arise when it comes to the common spaces, such the kitchen, living room, and bathrooms. When one person tends to take longer than others in a bathroom, it can be stressful, especially if more than one of you are trying to get ready for work. Keeping common areas clean should also be addressed in the contract.
The goal is to work out the rules before issues come up and have a way of handling them already in place. This makes conflict resolution easy and quick, the terms are already set, and the party who broke the terms will already know what their consequences are.
The rent is easy, divide by the number of roommates and there you go. However, utility bills are a tougher nut to crack. If you have one roommate that constantly has on their TV and a laptop all the time while the others rarely do, it is not fair to split the electricity three ways.
If you have somebody who is using more than their fair share of the utilities, then work something out and put it in the template. Either they agree to pay more than just an even split or they agree to curb their electricity use.
When it comes to water and gas, the best way is to all agree to limit showers to fewer than ten minutes. When you all agree to limit your shower times, it means that there will be few reasons why you need to argue about that bill.
Another big conflict issue because nobody likes to clean and nobody likes to constantly clean up after others. Ensure that the rules for keeping common areas are clearly noted in your friendship contract agreement as well as the consequences for somebody who fails to keep their end of the bargain.
Now you have an idea of why roommates fight and how to script your friendship contract template. When you do not have that contract in place, you have no clearly defined way or means of handling conflict. Small conflicts can turn into larger ones very quickly, so use your friendship contract template as a way to make sure that you and your roommates get along and everybody stays content.

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — The plight of two infant gorillas, rescued after being kidnapped from their wild families, highlights the dangers confronting the endangered Grauer's gorillas that have become victims of ongoing violence and a new rebellion in eastern Congo.
A decision to allow oil exploration in a national park there may put the gorillas at greater risk.
Virunga National Park said Monday that wildlife authorities rescued two baby gorillas in the space of a week this month.
"Baby gorilla trafficking is terribly damaging for endangered gorilla populations because many members of the gorilla's family will probably have been killed to obtain the infant," said the park's director, Emmanuel de Merode.
Fighting between rival militia groups is making it impossible for wildlife authorities to find out how many of the Grauer's gorillas have been killed. Grauer's, also known as eastern lowland gorillas, exist only in eastern Congo. Experts estimate that fewer than 4,000 remain, down from about 17,000 in 1995, de Merode said in a statement.
The poaching comes as the park itself faces oil exploration. Congo's Hydrocarbons Minister Crispin Atama Tabe announced Monday that the government is authorizing the British firm SOCO to explore for oil in the park, Africa's oldest created in 1925 under Belgian rule. Virunga National Park, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in the 1970s, is the only place on Earth that boasts all three African great apes in addition to elephants, buffalo, hippos, larges antelopes, lions, leopards and a plethora of smaller animals and birds. Virunga and the SOCO concession encompass Lake Edward, one of the Central African great lakes, that provides a livelihood for some 40,000 fishermen.
Atama Tabe told The Associated Press that oil exploitation could help bring security to volatile east Congo, although mining of the region's massive mineral riches has had the opposite effect with various armed groups vying for control of revenues the minerals bring.
Monday's permission contrasts with the Environment Ministry's decision last year to suspend oil exploration in an area of Virunga that is home to more than 200 gorillas. Environment Minister Bavo Nsamputu said he was unable to comment on Monday's news as he had been out of the country.
Park officials say Congo's law protects national parks from any kind of exploitation, including logging of timber for charcoal that is a lucrative business for armed militias, or even farming by peasants. That argument persuaded the French oil group Total to promise last year that it would not exploit the one-third of its concession that falls in Virunga.
SOCO, with 58 percent of its concession in the national park, argues, among other things, that the Nature Conservation law allows "geological research for scientific purposes."
SOCO also quotes exemptions in the Nature Conservation law for "research work, such as sampling materials, digging, excavations, surveying, and all other work that may change the look of the land or vegetation."
Virunga park rangers have shed blood to protect the park and its animals: 11 were killed last year in armed confrontations; this year one has been killed and several wounded, according to de Merode.
He said the first baby gorilla, a 9-month-old female now named Isangi, was brought to wildlife authorities Sept. 13 by a community conservation group that said it had rescued the infant from a local militia group called Raiya Mutomboko, which means Angry People in Swahili.
On Sept. 20, rangers and local officials acting on a tip-off carried out a sting operation and rescued a 4-month-old female who has been named Baraka, which means Blessing in Swahili. Baraka's captors claimed to have rescued the infant gorilla from the Walikale area where several armed groups compete for control of mines.
Isangi is in good shape after six weeks in captivity, veterinarian Eddy Kambale said in a statement, but Baraka is weak and dehydrated after two weeks' captivity.
On Monday, she appeared much better, Kambale said: "She is eating and drinking and appears to be stable. She is crying a lot like a normal baby."
The two infant gorillas are being cared for in a sanctuary at Virunga that is home to three mountain gorilla orphans whose parents were killed in the park in 2007.
Virunga has a small family of Grauer's gorillas. Most live in Kahuzi Biega national park and forests, including the Walikale area.
Faul reported from Johannesburg.

I hear this mindset all the time, and I have a hard time understanding it. Who cares if we can say we lost to the champs? No one will remember who they beat in the conference round years from now. When a team beats my team, I want nothing but the worst for them.
I remember those two consecutive years when the Phillies ousted the Dodgers from the playoffs, and I had friends say similar things, about rooting for the Phillies in the Series because at least the Dodgers could say they lost to the best team that year. Doesn't make sense in my mind. I wished all those Phillies death those two years, and still quite dislike them to this day.

But I didn't forget all about genealogy. Monday was our practice day at the sitter with Norah and her big brother, so I used my "me time" to go to the library.
Courtesy of the Kenton County (Kentucky) Public Library's Northern Kentucky Newspaper Index and Northern Kentucky Genealogy Index (you can search both free online, then email yourself a list of results), I have a long list of newspaper and record look-ups about my maternal relatives. It's been on my to-do list for a shameful length of time.
Since I only had a couple of hours at the library, I prepped by organizing my lookups according to the newspaper and date (for articles) or the church and volume number (for church records). That way I'd be able to find all the articles on one roll of film, then move right on to the next. I also highlighted the most important items so I'd be sure to get to those if time ran short.
Even though I knew where the library is, I checked out the visitor info onlinee (good thing— the regular lot was closed due to construction). I couldn't find the details about making copies, so I gathered up change and singles just in case. Turns out I should have brought a flash drive for the microfilm reader that makes digital copies. Live and learn.
The librarian showed me the newspaper and church record microfilm, gave me a refresher on the microfilm readers and changed my dollars for dimes (required to make paper copies). I got all my priority articles and one church record in the two hours. I wrote the newspaper or record title, date, volume number, etc. on each printout.
As a woman on a mission, I only glanced at the rest of the local history collection. Oh, the time I could spend there if I had all day.
Now, I'm reading the newspaper articles and trying to sort out who's who and how (or whether) they're all related in this big family full of Josephs, Bernards and Marys. Every time I read in an obituary that the deceased was survived by "a wife and children" or see a married woman identified as "Mrs. Joseph so-and-so," I want to pull my hair out. Names! I NEED NAMES!
So I've still got some work to do. In the mean time, I'm glad to be back with you!

Safety base module connects to control network in minutes
Fortress Interlocks has introduced an AS-interface (AS-i) control and safety base module for its eGard system that allows the system to be connected easily to an AS-i Safety at Work control network in minutes, the company says.
eGard is a modular system that can control access to hazardous machinery via gate switch and trapped key technology and can include simple machine or access controls such as push buttons, e-stops, and lamps. The AS-i base has two addresses: one for connecting the safety circuits and one for connecting the control I/O. A cable network system, the AS-i allows machinery safety technology to operate in parallel with standard machine controls on a single network with a common communication protocol. eGard modules are simply clipped together and the AS-i cable is connected.
The AS-i base module features an LED status indicator and an AS-i standard four-pin M12 connect fitting for connecting dual safety circuits and up to four inputs and outputs.
