BOSTON — Mitt Romney is promising to reduce taxes on middle-income Americans.
But how does he define "middle-income"? The Republican presidential nominee defined it Friday as income of $200,000 to $250,000 a year and less.
The definition of "middle income" or the "middle class" is politically charged as Romney and President Barack Obama fight to win over working-class voters. Romney would be among the wealthiest presidents, if elected, and Democrats have repeatedly painted him as out of touch with average people.
Obama also has set his definition for "middle class" as families with income of up to $250,000 a year.
Romney's comments came an interview broadcast Friday on ABC's "Good Morning America."
"No one can say my plan is going to raise taxes on middle-income people, because principle number one is (to) keep the burden down on middle-income taxpayers," Romney told host George Stephanopoulos.
"Is $100,000 middle income?" Stephanopoulos asked.
"No, middle income is $200,000 to $250,000 and less," Romney responded.
His campaign later clarified that Romney was referencing household income, not individual income.
The Census Bureau reported this week that the median household income — the midpoint for the nation — is just over $50,000.
Obama wants to extend Bush-era tax cuts for those making less than $250,000, while Romney wants to extend the tax cuts for everyone.
Romney has not explained how he would keep his plan from growing the nation's deficit.

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- The Parting Glass will have a new honor to celebrate this St. Patrick's Day.
The popular Spa City pub has been named the No. 3 Irish pub in the world by readers of the Ireland of the Welcomes magazine.
"The Parting Glass was the only pub in the northeastern United States to be recognized," owner Joan Desadora said. "I believe the only other American pub to make the list was in Tennessee. The other winning establishments were in Canada and Australia."
Desadora and her family opened The Parting Glass at 40-42 Lake Ave. on St. Patrick's Day in 1981. They serve more than 100 beers, 36 of which are on tap.
"Irish visitors themselves claim that this old-style tavern serves up one of the best pints of Guinness in the United States," the pub's website proclaims.
The Parting Glass also serves "pub-style grub" every night until closing. Three rooms offer casual dining, live music, Celtic music sessions, Trivia Night, Texas Hold 'Em Night and a second full bar with nine English dartboards, home of the Parting Glass Dart League.
"The family was very excited about this honor," said Clay Howell, marketing manager for the pub. "It was Joan's birthday when we all found out -- Saturday, Feb. 9 -- so that was really special."
Desadora is planning a trip to Florida, but once she returns, Howell said they will likely plan a celebration.
The Parting Glass also was voted one of the Top Ten Irish Pubs in the United States by USA Today.
Ireland of the Welcomes, first published in 1952, is the largest subscription-based Irish magazine in the world and one of the longest-running Irish interest magazines distributed overseas. The publication features articles on Irish culture, heritage, history and genealogy; illustrated destination and travel pieces; and profiles and interviews with international legends of Irish descent.

US online gadget retailer ThinkGeek has added a cute and practical USB Hub to its catalogue of wonderments that immediately falls into the "want badly" category here at Pocket-lint.
The USB Toaster Hub and Thumbdrives - to give it its full name - is a USB 2.0 device with four ports, offering up to 480mbps transfer and access speed. The wee gizmo includes a 1-metre long cable and an SD card on the side for good measure.
However, you can't have a toaster without toast, so four 4GB charred bread-based USB memory sticks are also available, each with different cute names. There's Butta, Ry Ry, Crisp and Tato. Unfortunately, the manufacturer clearly dispensed with the idea of "Burnt on one side", which would be more fitting with the only setting on the Pocket-lint office toaster, but you can't have everything.
The Hub itself costs $27.99, while each of the drives is priced at $27.99. If you don't want the dedicated memory sticks however, the toaster will work with any regular USB stick.
The whole kit and caboodle is available from ThinkGeek. UK buyers can also have the item(s) shipped for an extra fee.

Oryx dammah
|Scope: Mediterranean
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Oryx dammah (Cretzschmar, 1826)
|Regional Assessments:
Common Name(s):
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Regionally Extinct (Regional assessment) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|IUCN SSC Antelope Specialist Group
|Temple, H. & Cuttelod, A.
There has been no definite evidence of the survival of this species in the wild for more than 15 years.
|Range Description:
|May formerly have been widespread across North Africa, at least in arid and Saharan areas, but now Extinct in the Wild over all its range. Captive herds are kept in fenced protected areas in Tunisia, Senegal and Morocco (Sous Massa National Park (probably outside the known historical range) as part of long-term reintroduction programmes.
|Countries occurrence:
Regionally extinct:Algeria; Burkina Faso; Chad; Egypt; Libya; Mali; Mauritania; Morocco; Niger; Nigeria; Senegal; Sudan; Tunisia; Western Sahara
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|An estimated 500 Oryx survived at least until 1985 in Chad and Niger, but by 1988 only a few dozen individuals survived in the wild and since then there have been no confirmed reports of any wild oryx surviving in the wild (Morrow in press).
There are captive populations in fenced protected areas in several former range states: in Tunisia, there were 130 in Bou Hedma N.P. in 2005, 25 in Sidi-Toui N.P. (2006), and 12 in Oued Dekouk N.P. (2006); in Morocco, there were 240 in Souss-Massa N.P. in 2005; and in Senegal, there were 18 at Guembeul and 12 at Ferlo in 2004 (see Morrow in press, and refs therein). These populations are all maintained in fenced enclosures of varying sizes and are subject to different degrees of management. None is eligible for consideration as a released population for assessment purposes.
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Primarily inhabits sub-desert, annual grassland steppe areas. Found in rolling dunes, grassy steppes and wooded inter-dunal depressions, rarely entering true desert or true Sahelian bush. The Scimitar-horned Oryx is well adapted to arid areas.
|Movement patterns:
|Full Migrant
|Major Threat(s):
|Overhunting and habitat loss, including competition with domestic livestock, have been reported as the main reasons for the extinction of the wild population of Scimitar-horned Oryx (Mallon and Kingswood 2001, Devillers and Devillers-Terschuren 2005, Morrow in press).
|Conservation Actions:
|The Scimitar-horned Oryx is listed on CMS Appendix 1. A global captive breeding programme was initiated in the 1960s. In 2005 there were at least 1,550 captive animals held in managed breeding programmes around the world (Gilbert 2005). In addition, a large number, probably >4,000 are kept in a private collection in the United Arab Emirates. Additional animals are likely held on private game ranches in the USA. As part of planned reintroduction projects, animals have been released into fenced protected areas in Tunisia (Bou Hedma National Park 1985, Sidi Toui National Park 1999, Oued Dekouk National Park 1999), Morocco (Souss-Massa National Park 1995), and Senegal (Ferlo Faunal Reserve 1998, Guembuel Wildlife Reserve 1999). Reintroduction is currently also planned at a site in Niger.

Jun 19, 2012 - Americans' recent push to eliminate their debt is placing many families at risk. The most recent Federal Reserve Bank of New York shows that Americans reduced their debt by approximately $100 billion since the fourth quarter of 2011. However, according to Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. Consumer Advocate Eleanor Blayney, CFP, Americans who reduce debt without setting up a plan to manage it, risk their long-term financial security.
"We tend to think about debt far too simplistically. Witness the movement in this country from the notion that borrowing is a good growth strategy to the conviction that all debt is bad," says Blayney. "Consumers need to take a more sophisticated approach to debt, one that allows for investment while maintaining a reasonable amount of risk that won't jeopardize a family's financial well-being."
Blayney's advice is particularly relevant as American families continue to deal with the long-lasting effects of the Great Recession. Between 2007 and 2010, the median net worth for an American family fell 38.8 percent.2 "The use of debt remains an important financial reality for many Americans. And smart debt management can help Americans as they seek to rebuild their net worth," says Blayney.
Creating a debt management plan is one of the 12 steps in CFP Board's year-long "12 for '12 Approach to Financial Confidence." Blayney recommends consumers consider five key points when deciding to take on debt:
"Smart debt management goes well beyond just trying to get the best interest rate or finding ways to prop up your credit score. Your debt needs to be considered in the context of all your financial circumstances and needs," says Blayney. "What is right for one individual in terms of the appropriate amount and cost of borrowing may be wrong for another. Let a CFP® professional help you find a balanced and thoughtful debt management approach that fully reflects all the financial facts and circumstances of your life."

12 for '12 APPROACH TO FINANCIAL CONFIDENCE
In January, CFP Board launched a new initiative called "12 for '12 Approach to Financial Confidence" where all the components and steps for successful personal financial management are presented, one each month throughout the year including: establishing realistic goals, tax planning, emergency and risk management, investing, retirement, debt management and estate planning.

Chief Counsel Destie Overpeck designated Division of Workers' Compensation acting chief deputy administrative director
While Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) Chief Deputy Administrative Director Carrie Nevans takes temporary personal leave, the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) Director John Duncan has designated DWC Chief Counsel Destie Overpeck as the acting chief deputy administrative director in her absence.
"Destie has served as the DWC's chief counsel since 2005, where she has overseen the implementation of a wide variety of regulations and administrative processes," said Duncan. "I am confident in her ability to ensure all the division's functions will continue seamlessly until Carrie's return."
Overpeck was appointed DWC's chief counsel by Gov. Schwarzenegger in August of 2005. In this role she has drafted and overseen the preparation of regulations implementing workers' compensation reforms and programs, participated in stakeholder meetings and public hearings regarding proposed regulations, advised the DWC administrative director and supervised the DWC legal unit. In addition to drafting regulations, the legal unit advises the medical unit, the audit unit and the research unit; responds to inquires from the public; prepares legislative analyses; defends the division and its employees in lawsuits; and represents the division when regulations are challenged.
From 2000 through 2005, Overpeck worked for the DWC as an Industrial Relations Counsel III. In this role, she handled all of the audit unit's administrative penalty and civil penalty disputes and hearings. In 2004, she represented the audit unit in the first civil penalty trial since Labor Code section 129.5 was enacted. Overpeck also served as the ethics advisor for DWC's 150 workers' compensation judges, prepared the DWC annual ethics advisory committee report and acted as DWC's liaison for the ethics advisory committee. She prepared opinions and orders for petitions for change of treating physicians, drafted legislative analyses and prepared regulations regarding vocational rehabilitation, the supplemental job disability benefit, audit, the Official Medical Fee Schedule, the claim form and employee poster, medical provider networks, independent medical review and the workers' compensation information system.
"Carrie's great work has ensured that injured workers, employers, medical providers and their representatives receive the best service possible," said Duncan. "Destie's extensive workers' compensation experience, along with the professional management team established by Carrie, will ensure that the workers comp community continues to receive the best service possible."
More information about the DWC can be found on line at www.dwc.ca.gov.

A noise variance allows you to vary from the limits of the noise control code under specific circumstances, usually for a limited period of time.
There are four kinds of noise variances:
Temporary. We may grant a temporary variance for up to 14 days for an activity, use, process, or equipment that does not annoy a substantial number of people or endanger public health or safety.
Technical. We may grant a technical variance for a specified period of time in situations where noise 1) is unavoidable, 2) can't be practically prevented or controlled, and 3) does not endanger public health or safety. We determine the period of time when we review your variance application.
Economic. We may grant an economic variance where measures to reduce noisy activities must be spread over a period of time because of their extent or cost. We will only grant economic variances if we conclude that the noise will not endanger public health or safety.
Major public project construction. We may grant these variances for projects that meet all of the following criteria:
In deciding whether a proposal is eligible for this variance, we consider:
The application fee for a noise variance is the Seattle DCI base fee. We may charge additional hourly review fees for technical, economic, and major public project construction variances. Please see our Fee Subtitle for current rates.
Temporary variance. You must tell neighboring, affected properties that you are applying for a noise variance 72 hours before your start date.
Major project variance. We may need several months to process your major project noise variance. How long it takes us to process your variance depends on the quality of your application. Major project variances can be appealed.
Temporary variances. If you need relief from nighttime noise restrictions, you need to submit a temporary noise variance application. Be sure to answer all questions and provide detailed information about your project, including your key contact information (phone, email, and mailing address).
You need to apply for a temporary noise variance online, through our Seattle Services Portal. To apply, follow these steps:
After you have submitted your application, we will review it and either approve it with conditions or deny it. If we approve it, we will send you an approval document with conditions and dates. You'll be notified if you need to pay any additional fees.
Post the approval document on your work site.
Economic, technical, or major public project construction variances. For application requirements for these variances, review Director's Rule 3-2009, Variances from the Standards of the Noise or contact a Noise Control Specialist.

What is wrong with this bread??
I have been baking since the start of 2012 and using exclusively SD starters for the last 2 months. I have been primarily sticking to Tartine's book, having great success with their Country Loaf and good progress on the Whole Wheat Country Loaf. This photo is of the first loaf of bread I made without following a specific recipe. I knew I wanted to make a 100% whole wheat sourdough sandwich loaf, so I found a recipe from this site and improvised significantly because a large part of its instructions didn't make sense.
ANYway, I am not satisfied with this loaf and am looking for some feedback from people. What is with the little flap on the right side of the bread? When I proofed the bread, instead of rising right out of the loaf pan, it rose up some the poured over. Does this mean the dough was too wet? Not developed enough? Over proofed? It proofed for around 3.5 hrs at 78degrees so I really doubt this is the problem.Also, there is not a uniform 'sandwich style' crumb. Is this because I did not press enough air out of the dough?
Looking for as much feedback as possible. You guys are my resource to learn from!

Bestselling Author Ross King to Speak at the WAG
Secrets and symbolism of Canada's most famous art group come to light in a lecture by bestselling author Ross King. Art Talks: Canadian Art International Speakers Series brings Ross King to the Winnipeg Art Gallery on Thursday, March 25 at 7pm. Tickets are $8 for WAG members, available at the WAG and Ticketmaster. Non-member tickets are $10, available at the WAG, McNally Robinson Booksellers, and Ticketmaster.
Ross King's forthcoming book exposes how–despite their professed nationalism–the Group of Seven incorporated a number of international trends. A.Y. Jackson and Lawren Harris, for instance, studied and travelled extensively in Germany and France, while F.H. Varley worked for the Canadian War Memorials Fund in London. Ross King will reveal the previously cloaked effects that these European experiences had on the Group's iconic, much-loved artworks.
Ross King moved from writing historical fiction to histories and biographies with the publication in 2000 of Brunelleschi's Dome: The Story of the Great Cathedral in Florence, the design and building of the dome of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, completed in 1436. It was on the bestseller lists of the New York Times, the Boston Globe, and the San Francisco Chronicle and was the recipient of several awards. This was followed by Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling (2002), tracing the four years that Michelangelo spent painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel amid the political and religious intrigues of early 16th century Rome. It was nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award.
In 2006 The Judgment of Paris: The Revolutionary Decade That Gave the World Impressionism chronicled the dramatic transition by which the Impressionist painters changed the artistic vision of the late 19th and early 20th century. It was the recipient of the 2006 Governor-General's Award for Non-Fiction. In 2007 he completed Machiavelli: Philosopher of Power, a biography of Niccolò Machiavelli that illustrates the personal, social, and political development of one of history's most famous political theorists.
Born and raised in Saskatchewan, Ross King received a Ph.D. from York University and an M.A. from the University of Regina. He spent several years as a post-doctoral research fellow at University College, London.
This talk is presented by the Canadian Art Foundation in collaboration with the Winnipeg Art Gallery and is proudly sponsored by BMO Financial Group.

Thanksgiving time off.
The beautiful thing about having a "normal" job is holiday time off. I have three whole days off and I don't really have any specific plans for them (aside from Thanksgiving dinner, of course.) How does one spend their time? So far, I've spent it doing various fibery things.
I finished a pair of socks for my grandmom for Christmas.
These are the Embossed Leaves socks from the Interweave knits Favorite Socks book. I've been wanting to make a pair of these for a long time. The pattern is great. The only thing I'd change next time would be the toe. Other than that, I loved it.
Yesterday morning I spent a good bit of time spinning. I've had a bit of a spinning itch recently, but I just didn't have the time to get into doing some. I bought some merino/tencel roving at Rhinebeck this year that I've been meaning to spin up. I really wanted to try navajo plying. I've tried it before, but I just never got the hang of it... until now.
I love, love, love how this turned out. I only have 74 yards so I'm not totally sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but I'm sure I'll think of something!

Still not working. Keith said he would get this fixed.
Still not working. Keith said he would get this fixed.
I may not have it all together, but together we have it all.
I'm using IE and I can't see anything except a stop the hunger page
I just got off the phone with Aaron Koehl discussing the Amazon Store link. Aaron says that the program that Amazon had in place has been discontinued and there won't be any alternative. Aaron has placed an Amazon banner in our sponsors list that does contain the Northwind Associates link that is supposed to work but we will ultimately have to setup a store if we want to continue supporting Amazon. We will be discussing this further this evening as Aaron had a meeting to attend this afternoon. I will share what I learn as we find out if there are any other options.
Currently if you go to our sponsors banner page and click on the Amazon banner as long as you see Northwind in the link we will still get a small percentage of the sale at no cost to you.
This is the direct link to Amazon:
Thanks for the update Keith! Just ordered an HTFC125 chuck, hope it still works so we get a little. I Did see the "northwinds" in the header going from the sponsors banner page !
I may not have it all together, but together we have it all.
Is there still an Amazon SMC store? I wouldn't mind supporting SMC with all the shopping I do there, but I can't find it either on the Advertiser's page or the links on this thread.
too good to be true
Any update on this.
The link is not working. am i doing something wrong?
Amazon dropped the program.

Detoxing isn't enough for many people who are trying to quit Butorphanol, Carisoprodol or other highly addictive substances. They require ongoing therapy, support and care that come from top notch inpatient rehab centers. While people can achieve success even in outpatient programs, the success rate is statistically much lower than those entering a high quality 30, 60 or 90-day inpatient program. Fortunately, there are many to choose from in Milldale.
Unless an addict has support from an outpatient clinic or a sober living facility, it's easy to relapse into old behavior patterns. Ongoing therapy may be needed to stay clean and sober for good.

Should I Stay Local or Travel for the Best Treatment?
Seeking local treatment might seem like the best rehab option, surrounded by familiar places and close to friends and family. While this may be the most convenient route to take, there are also some significant drawbacks to be aware of. Making a "clean break" from drugs and alcohol, separating from the environments and people most associated with the addiction, often leads to the best results. The chances of relapse are diminished when you are away from home, since you are limiting your access to the substances you are trying to quit. Many rehabs are located in incredible settings, from oceanfront and lakeside facilities to picturesque desert retreats - perfect for creating the right atmosphere for feeling peaceful, keeping positive and staying healthy during, and after, your stay. So make sure you consider all your options when deciding the best place to make a fresh start.
How Much Does Addiction Treatment Cost?
Treatment prices depend on the treatment phases involved and the level of service and extras provided. The range runs from free and low-cost options that are generally state or federally funded, all the way up to very expensive treatment at facilities that give 5 star resorts a run for their money. In terms of free options, consider hosting an intervention with friends and family, along with visiting www.SAMHSA.gov which has a treatment center locator and provides listings to government-funded and very low cost alternatives.
Is Insurance Accepted?
In many cases YES. Although not every detox or rehabilitation facility will accept insurance, many do. Most of the facilities that we refer people to do accept private insurance, so give us a call today to verify what coverage you may have and we will do everything possible to help make that work for you!
How Long Does Effective Treatment Take?
Studies indicate that the success rate for recovery rises dramatically with the length of treatment. That is, the longer an individual spent in a facility treating their drug or alcohol dependencies, the less likely they were to relapse. Detox and rehab can be done in as few as 21 to 30 days, though the probability of remaining alcohol and drug-free rises dramatically as the individual passes 90 days of treatment.
If you're seeking addiction treatment for yourself or a loved one, our ProjectKnow.com help line is a private and convenient solution. Caring advisors are available 24/7 to discuss treatment options with you.
Calls to any general help line (non-facility specific 1-8XX numbers) found on this site will be answered by American Addiction Centers (AAC) or by one of our paid treatment center sponsors.
You can connect with non-sponsor facilities by browsing our listings and calling them directly.

Recap: Brewers 6, Dodgers 4
Brewers 6, Dodgers 4: Carlos Gomez had three hits, including a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh, and visiting Milwaukee ended a two-game losing streak against Los Angeles.
SportsDirect Inc.
Recap: Brewers 6, Dodgers 4
Brewers 6, Dodgers 4: Carlos Gomez had three hits, including a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh, and visiting Milwaukee ended a two-game losing streak against Los Angeles.
Brewers catcher Martin Maldonado added another two-run homer in the eighth, helping starter Wily Peralta (2-1) earn the victory after allowing three runs and six hits in six innings. Third baseman Yuniesky Betancourt contributed two hits and an RBI for the Brewers, but his fielding error with two outs in the ninth brought the winning run to the plate before closer Jim Henderson got A.J. Ellis to ground out to short for his sixth save.
The comeback by the Brewers spoiled the major-league debut of Dodgers' right-hander Matt Magill, who was an emergency call up from Triple-A Albuquerque after scheduled starter Stephen Fife was diagnosed with bursitis in his throwing shoulder. Fife was recently recalled to replace right-hander Chad Billingsley, who underwent Tommy John elbow surgery earlier this week.
Magill left after getting the first two outs in seventh, but reliever Paco Rodriguez gave up a bunt single to Norichika Aoki, prompting the Dodgers to bring in right-hander Matt Guerrier (1-1). He hung a breaking ball to Gomez, who deposited it into the seats in left.
After the Brewers scored two runs in the third off Magill, the Dodgers tied the score on an RBI single by Ellis in their half of the third and a throwing error by Milwaukee shortstop Alex Gonzalez in the fourth. Matt Kemp and Skip Schumaker singled to start the sixth for Los Angeles and Kemp later came home on a groundout by Luis Cruz for a 3-2 lead.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Magill is the ninth different starting pitcher the Dodgers have used this season. The last time they used nine or more starters through 23 games was in 1942. ... Dodgers 2B Mark Ellis, who left Friday's victory with a strained right quadriceps, has not been placed on the disabled list but was unavailable for Saturday's game. ... Brewers RHP John Axford allowed a solo home run to Andre Ethier in the eighth, the fifth long ball he has allowed this season.

Closing credits for reviewer's column
After 800 reviews, David Bates decides its time for a change
(David Bates / DVD reviewer) If I were more organized, I would have kept better count. But by my rough estimate, I've reviewed more than 800 films in the News-Register since May 23, 2000, when we kicked off "Video of the Week" with my thumbs-up review of "The Election."
The count includes about 740 weekly reviews. It also includes dozens of films I reviewed in special "Top 10" features, plus the occasional theatrical release.
The genesis of the column was a discussion with Features Editor Racheal Winter about calling attention to interesting, generally lesser-known films. I have in mind the kind too often ignored when a trip to the video store means straying no further than the new release shelves, where one can reliably find half a dozen copies of "Titanic" or "The Avengers."
In this, the pre-Netflix and streaming film services era, the goal was as much about promoting local video stores as it was the films themselves. Each week, we presented a review of a film that was available on home video locally.
But things have changed. In fact, one of the old mainstays, Blockbuster, no longer exists.
At some point in my McMinnville life, the ratio of people complimenting me in the grocery aisle for something they'd seen me do on stage at Gallery Theater flip-flopped with those who said they faithfully read my reviews.
I loved writing them, and I'm grateful to the News-Register for being one of the few remaining community newspapers that provided space for locally reported entertainment journalism. Given the popularity of the reviews, the paper probably would have let me keep at it for another decade or two.
But after 800 reviews, I decided it was time for a change.
Starting July 1, you can find my commentary on film at the coolest, smartest locally owned video store in the Willamette Valley — McMinnville's own Movietime Video, located in the two-story green house at 801 S. Baker St., across from Linfield College.
I'll work with owners Dan and Nancy Morrow and their enthusiastic team to reach out to customers by promoting and highlighting films, the artists who make them and unique themed collections. My short essays will be displayed both in the new release section of the store and online at www.macmovietime.com.
It's a fascinating time for cinema, whether one watches it, makes it or writes about it. I'm glad to have been part of the conversation in our community for so long, and am excited about keeping it going in new digs, so to speak.
Thanks to everyone who stuck with me!
David Bates

The Niagara County Department of Health has aced its latest exam.
"After conducting a rigorous onsite review of Niagara County's emergency preparedness program on Oct. 22, 2012, the New York State Department of Health awarded the Niagara County Department of Health a perfect score of 100 percent for its efforts," said Niagara County Public Health Director Daniel Stapleton.
This is the fourth time the Niagara County emergency preparedness program received high marks for its program performance. The past four annual reviews, conducted alternately by the NYSDOH Office of Emergency Preparedness and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, netted the Department a 98 percent, followed by three consecutive perfect scores - despite budget reductions and increasing federal and state homeland security readiness mandates.
The following is an excerpt from the state review report received late Friday, Feb. 15:
Executive Summary
"Overall Preparedness Score: 100% Comments: Niagara County continues to demonstrate exceptional work in preparedness. The attention to detail and completeness of their plans, attachments and reference materials is a model for other jurisdictions. Further, the County shows dedication to their partners and their customers in their remarkable work at outreach and inclusion of partners in their planning and response activities. Niagara County has a unique perspective of preparedness plans and has discovered innovative ways to merge all activities to maximize every response and activity. This forward thinking goes beyond a response requiring assets from the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS). Their SNS Plan and associated documents meet the detail and requirements requested in the Local Technical Assistance Review Tool. Niagara County takes planning beyond the requirements and should continue to think forward and prepare for all-hazards responses. The progress Niagara County has made by engaging their partners will allow them to adapt and respond to a number of possible activities requiring the Health Department to respond. Niagara County has a robust medical countermeasure clinical operations plan and has demonstrated the ability to activate the plan through annual exercises. Future planning initiatives include consolidation of information between planning documents and a strengthening the all hazards approach to medical countermeasure dispensing activities."
The CDC will conduct the next review in October.

Wichita, KS (PRWEB) August 26, 2013
JCB Laboratories (JCB) is issuing a recall of six lots of sterile drug products to the user level due to concerns of sterility assurance following a recent inspection by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of Front Range Laboratories of Loveland, Colo., one of the contract testing labs used by JCB.
The following compounded products are subject to the recall:
- Sodium thiosulfate, 25% (250 mg/mL) – Lot numbers 130701@9 (Exp. 12/28/13), 130709@6 (Exp. 1/5/14) and 130717@2 (Exp. 1/13/14)
- Sodium citrate, 4% solution for injection, 30 mL multiple dose vial – Lot number 130710@4 (Exp. 1/6/14)
- Sodium citrate, 4% with gentamicin 320 mcg/mL solution for injection, 30 mL multiple dose vial – Lot number 130620@2 (Exp. 12/17/13)
- Acetylcysteine, 20% solution for inhalation, 4 mL single dose vials – Lot number 130627@5 (Exp. 8/26/13)
JCB has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall to date. If there is microbial contamination in products intended to be sterile, patients are at risk for serious, potentially life-threatening infections.
The recalled products were distributed to outpatient dialysis clinics in multiple states from July 8, 2013, through Aug. 20, 2013.
In the recent inspection of Front Range Labs, the FDA stated it "observed that methods used by Front Range to assess sterility and other qualities (e.g., strength and stability) may have resulted in pharmacies receiving inaccurate laboratory test results. FDA has concerns that results obtained from Front Range are not reliable. FDA recommends that pharmacies not use this firm for sterility and other quality attributes testing at this time." (http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm365920.htm, 8/21/13)
Out of an abundance of caution, JCB has discontinued its relationship with Front Range and is now testing products at a different laboratory.
"Our top priority is to protect patient safety," said Brian Williamson, PharmD, President and CEO of JCB Laboratories. "We have never had to issue a recall, but we believe this action is a reflection of our tradition of total transparency and our commitment to the highest quality standards. We regret any inconvenience this recall may cause our valued customers."
JCB has begun notifying its customers by telephone, email, fax and mail. To return product or request assistance related to this recall, users should contact JCB Laboratories at 316-773-0405, Monday through Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. CDT.
Consumers should contact their physician or health care provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using this drug product. Any problems may be reported to the FDA's MedWatch program via:
- Online: http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm
- Mail: use postage-paid, pre-addressed Form FDA 3500 at http://www.fda.gov/MedWatch/getforms.htm.
- Fax: 1-800-FDA-0178
This recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the FDA.

Published by Beverley Gilliam at Saturday, December 23rd 2017 11:31:22 AM under Chair
First of all, when choosing accent chairs for your home be sure to factor in which style chair is appropriate for your room decor. Accent chairs are available in all shapes, sizes and varieties so you have a wide selection to choose from to fit your personal needs. It is important to really survey your room and decide which type chair would best fit in the type ambiance your trying to create. If you are looking for a stylish chair that adds loads of comfort you may want to go with an oversized lazy boy type chair. If classic style is more of what you are looking for you may choose a wooden straight back chair with padded seating and loads of detail in the wood carving. If you are thinking more along the lines of fancy elegance you may decide to go with a chaise lounge done in a beautiful fabric.
Another thing to consider when choosing accent chairs for your home is choosing the right type of material for your accent chair. You need your chair to be great to look at but you also want it to be functional in its designated room as well as comfortable. If you are choosing an accent chair for a very formal room, you may want to choose an elegant straight back wooded chair where great attention to detail has been placed in the chairs carving. If you need a chair thats functional but also flexible microfiber may be a good material to choose.
Your body should be able to fit perfectly on the chair. The backrest should be at least a little higher than your shoulder so it also supports your shoulder when you lean back. Another thing to take into consideration is if the chair has features to control or change the height of the chair to fit the length of your leg from your knees to your feet. A chair with a roller is advantageous because it allows you to move around your desk when you need to move away to get something from behind you. Another advantage that you should consider in picking the right chair is being able to move your chair back or no t having to twist your body when you need to get something behind or beside you.

Irving back with Cavs, but team missing 2 starters
Mar. 04, 2013
CLEVELAND (AP) — All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving returned after missing three games, but the Cleveland Cavaliers were without two starters — and their trainer — for Monday night's game against the New York Knicks.
Irving returned to the lineup after sitting out the past three games with a hyperextended right knee he injured in practice. He tried to play in road games at Orlando and Miami, but wasn't himself and the Cavs decided to rest him for a week.
"I landed awkwardly,' said Irving, explaining the injury for the first time since it happened. "It was just a deep bruise. When I was playing in Orlando and Miami I could feel it, and obviously I was just trying to play through it but it was really limiting to my ability to go to the basket and jumping off my right leg."
Irving said he's not yet 100 percent, and Cavs coach Byron Scott said he'll closely monitor the 20-year-old, "more for fatigue than anything." Scott, though, said Irving will likely play in the "mid 30s (minutes)" against the Knicks. He scored a career-high 41 against them in New York on Dec. 15.
While Irving returned, the Cavs were without rookie guard Dion Waiters and center Tyler Zeller, who both became ill during the weekend and had to be taken to the hospital. Also, trainer Max Benton missed Monday's game because he's sick.
"It's some type of virus that hit those guys," said Scott, adding that team family members have also been stricken with the bug. "It's something with the stomach. It's just something going around."
Scott said Waiters and Zeller are both resting at home.
Wayne Ellington started for Waiters and Marreese Speights filled for Zeller. Waiters was named the NBA's Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for February after averaging 15.8 points.
The Cavs went 2-1 last week without Irving, who has missed 14 games in his second NBA season because of injuries. He banged knees in practice last month with teammate Omri Casspi. Irving missed 11 games with a broken index finger earlier this season, and played several weeks wearing a protective mask after breaking his jaw.
He also missed games last season with assorted injuries, and Irving played in only 11 games as a freshman at Duke because he tore a tendon in his foot.
Scott dismissed the notion Irving is injury prone.
"He's 20 years old and his body hasn't fully developed," Scott said. "He's got a long career ahead of him and the injuries he's getting are just unavoidable. It happens in the flow of a basketball game or practice. He's not injury prone. It's no big deal."
The NBA's Rookie of the Year in 2012, Irving is averaging 23.3 points, 5.6 assists and 3.6 rebounds.

The fact is, we *have* done just that in the past with Nazis, Commies and Imperial Japanese and we can do it now--without torture.
Given that American police continued to regularly use to what most people today would likely consider torture ("the third degree") well into the 1930s as a regular tool of ordinary law enforcement, this is simply counter-factual. This is not intended to justify such techniques, but if Mark wants to invoke history and tradition to suit his point then he needs to take off the rose-colored glasses and ditch his zero-sum mentality when discussing these matters.
Similarly, he going to have seriously engage those Catholics who differ with him on his view of Gaudium et Spes. This includes Father Harrison, Jimmy Akin, and Dave Armstrong among others. I am well aware that there are readers here who hold at least two of the three of these individuals in some level of contempt. Because my interest is in points of truth rather than individuals, I care far more about their actual positions than whether or not they prefer me and Victor to Mark. The reasons for these opinions aside, it is my hope that in writing a book Mark is going to feel under an obligation to actually acknowledge a difference of opinion here or explain why he doesn't believe there to be one.
One other thing that should be kept in mind about Mark writing up a book is that the standards of libel are a lot firmer when it goes to print as opposed to what he writes on his blog. If he intends to start claiming that Michael Ledeen and other prominent neocons support torture, the murder of prisoners, has called for our soldiers to commit war crimes, et al. he may well find himself sued. Victor and I have discussed this before after Victor noted that any decent libel lawyer looking at Mark's various comments on Ledeen over the years could probably find ample grist for a lawsuit. Now that probably isn't a priority right now because a lot of people write crazy things about Ledeen online, but if Mark publishes said claims in a book to that effect I could easily see that situation changing. I would note now as I have before that if Mark's claims against Ledeen are as clear-cut and persuasive as he believes them to be, it is an odd thing indeed that the man's manifold political enemies have refrained from employing them to their advantage. It wasn't like the American Conservative had any such compunctions when it came to labeling the man a fascist in his political beliefs several years back.
Of a similar vein, I have noted repeatedly that Mark's lack of willingness to understand his opponents' positions has contributed to one the reasons why so many people find him difficult to stand. This has led him to make some very bizarre arguments, including a conflation of neoconservatism with realism, Machiavellianism with utopian Wilsonianism, and generally a very confused discussion of political ideology in general that leaves one with the same impression that Inigo had of Vizzini in The Princess Bride regarding his frequent use of the word "inconceiveable:"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
My primary fear regarding Mark writing a book on this issue is that it will very quickly move beyond the issue of torture into a more general anathema sit against the Bush administration, the war in Iraq, neocons, American conservatism, and the like written in his typically emotional style and lack of understanding about the issues he discusses. In other words, a less eloquent version of the standard Pat Buchanan screed that is lacking only an indictment of illegal immigration. If he does this, he will have quickly moved beyond the realm of a Catholic apologist who comments on politics into the area of a political writer. And if he is going to make those kind of claims in print (something he has generally avoided doing until now), then he can be called to account for them the same way any other political writer might without being able to claim ignorance on matters of politics because he is primarily an apologist.

Without Marchionne, where would Fiat be today?
|Luca Ciferri is chief correspondent at Automotive News Europe
Second-guessing Sergio Marchionne's management of Fiat has become commonplace in Italy, where he faces nearly as much criticism from detractors as the country's national soccer coach. Many people think they could have done a better job at Fiat than Marchionne, but Giuseppe Volpato is not one of them.
"We should ask ourselves: Where Fiat would be today if it did not encounter Marchionne on its road," said the Venice University business school dean, who has written two books on Fiat.
Volpato said that when Marchionne joined Fiat in June 2004 it looked unlikely that the company's auto division could be saved. The most viable pre-Marchionne option was to force General Motors to takeover Fiat Auto. The U.S. giant bought 20 percent of Fiat Auto for $2.4 billion in March 2000 and was contractually obligated to buy the remaining 80 percent.
"If GM had bought Fiat, what would Fiat be today?" Volpato asked. The likely answer is: closed.
Just look at what GM, which had to file for U.S. bankruptcy protection in 2009, has done to underperforming subsidiaries in the last few years. Hummer was closed. Saab was dumped. Opel/Vauxhall was nearly sold. Fiat would have been lucky to survive.
Fiat has many challenges to overcome, but Volpato said that because of Marchionne "it is still alive, kicking – and owns Chrysler."
Fiat's guidance for this year – consolidating its share in Chrysler's results – calls for revenue of more than 58 billion euros. The resulting trading profit – operating profit before unusual items – should be more than 2.1 billion euros with a net profit of 1.7 billion euros.
Undoubtedly, Fiat will take a hit from the forecast decline in European new-car sales. Production in Europe, which is mainly in Italy, will suffer. The pain, however, will not be nearly as bad as in the past because Marchionne has transformed Fiat from being a Euro-centric minicar and subcompact specialist into a more global player with a broader product portfolio and a stronger footprint in North America.
Any credible analysis of Fiat should focus on its global weaknesses – China and Russia being the two biggest – because only discussing its Italian activities is simply parochial.

Economy settling down? Think again
Exclusive: Jerry Robinson says pressure is on
Economist, columnist, radio host and international conference speaker Jerry Robinson is says the 2013 economic outlook includes more volatility.
On his "Follow the Money Weekly" program this week he discusses several factors that can contribute to sudden changes.
Among those are the pressure that now is on the global economy, the factors in the real estate market that affect personal wealth such as mortgage rates, what the joint military training experiment by China and Russia means, what the scandal about the government invading Americans' privacy means and what the Federal Reserve is doing.
Robinson also addresses specific issues raised by listeners, such as how to develop a retirement account and just exactly why is gasoline still $4 a gallon even though oil prices have dropped.
Tom Cloud comes to the microphone to deliver the latest precious metals market update – where palladium is the topic of the day, and then certified financial planner Jay Peroni looks at investments.
He notes that one company worth watching is Cracker Barrel, which has averaged an annual gain of more than 27 percent for the past five years.
And John Bearss' Retirement Minute reveals how nine out of 10 Americans age 65 and older receive Social Security benefits.
He addresses concerns over how much Americans rely on that.

The forecast called for sun, for temperatures to reach the high 70s. Surf conditions seemed fine, with selected spots producing waist-high peaks. Dinner reservations for two could be had at Spago, as long as the party was willing to eat at 6:15 and at a table far removed from the celebrities-only booths along the wall. Around sundown at the Tower Bar it was possible to be zapped with Botox just by mingling with all the beautiful folks.
And this week, all of those common pastimes seemed a tremendous waste because Los Angeles, global capital of illusion, tossed aside its lovable shallowness and slipped into something far more interesting.
Yes, the city snobby East Coasters derisively call La-La Land is far and away the best sports hub on the continent. Tinseltown has grown a pair.
There is no hotter place to be at the moment than tucked inside the cramped madhouse that's named after a seller of office supplies. On an otherwise nondescript corner off Figueroa Street, on May nights that blend together in a sweaty blur, history is being made.
They're witnessing a charmed tale there, because never in a million years could anyone have predicted the startling rise of both the hockey team and that other basketball team quite like this. Add to that mix the appearance of the usual suspects in their purple and gold, and the convergence is just short of mind-blowing.
---Five Hole: Giroux ban bad for Flyers, mixed bag for NHL
In a flash, the eighth-seeded Los Angeles Kings beat the top-seeded Vancouver Canucks in five games and then swept No. 2-seeded St. Louis Blues, a streak made even more startling because it burned with an American-born goalie stealing the spotlight and taking a bow.
Other starry nights at the Staples Center have featured the odd hum of the Clippers rocking epic alley-oops, and no matter how their first-round series against the Memphis Grizzlies ends, the Clippers deserve a curtain call for overcoming—or perhaps embracing—the club's dark and humorous soap-opera bent.
Not that the Lakers can ever be ignored, but even Andrew Bynum's silly claim that "closeout games are actually kind of easy" is suddenly dwarfed by all the positive vibes trailing the Clippers.
Bynum's words naturally made their way to the Denver Nuggets' bulletin board Tuesday night, as coach George Karl sliced and diced them to remove Bynum's more nuanced explanation about fast starts making it easier to win. The pretty people sitting chockablock at the Staples Center thus saw a curiously sloppy and lethargic Lakers team delay the inevitable, with the Nuggets stunning L.A. 102-99 to keep the series pumping.
---For Lakers, Gasol-Bynum mystery continues
It was a rare letdown for the locals, considering all that lately shines so brightly on the sporting tableau.
A dreary, dirty era for the beloved baseball franchise ended earlier this week when Magic Johnson ushered in new ownership by appearing on the giant video board at Chavez Ravine and proclaiming, "It's time for Dodgers baseball." No matter how the winter sports scene ends—and odds roll toward some sort of parade—the summer beckons with the goose bump-inspiring sight of Matt Kemp on deck.
Meanwhile, some 30 miles south, Albert Pujols can't possibly hang forever on the edge of this bubble. The Angels of Anaheim fought legal battles so they could capture some of the Los Angeles scene, and once Pujols finds his groove, the clogged I-5 won't seem at all unbearable.
Even the college offseason bursts with anticipation. Shabazz Muhammad, a small forward from Las Vegas who last season grabbed almost every high school basketball award possible, recently announced his intention to sign with UCLA. Matt Barkley, the favorite to win the Heisman, chose to remain at USC for his senior year rather than enter the NFL Draft.
With each fresh sunset comes another reminder that our sports world tilts toward the left coast.
Imagine how it'll really shift when Metta World Peace comes back from his seven-game suspension for that roundhouse elbow to the head of James Harden. Billboards have sprouted around Los Angeles County featuring the smiling visage of the player formerly known as Ron Artest and the words You Can Do It, a public service message meant to encourage young people to not be ashamed to seek psychological treatment if needed. Sports often lead us to places beyond the playing fields, and if Metta's situation inspires conversations about mental health, his return definitely matters.
Always there are compelling reasons to watch the Lakers, but it's the Kings and the Clippers that boggle the senses. Honestly, raise your glass if you ever expected the sight of Chris Paul feeding a pass to the powerful Blake Griffin could be this much fun.
"I didn't know what to imagine," Paul said of the convoluted trade that sent him to Los Angeles from New Orleans. "I was excited about the opportunity to come here and what we had. But we still haven't done anything yet."
Kings advanced by doing the little things right
They've made the eyeballs turn toward the Clippers, a monumental feat considering folks for decades paid attention only to mock.
It's been 19 years since the Kings made it to the Western Conference finals, but here they are, after a season in which early struggles caused their coach to get fired. Darryl Sutter, of the hockey royal family Sutters, shed his executive suit in December and slipped easily back onto the bench, turning the Kings into postseason road warriors.
They're 5-0 for the playoffs in other teams' buildings, playing at heights that hardly seem possible for an eighth seed. Smart deals—Mike Richards came aboard from Philadelphia in the offseason; his pal Jeff Carter arrived from Columbus at the trade deadline—cemented the Kings' ascent.
But the playoffs are defined by goalies, and in Los Angeles there is a netminder who whirls unconventionally around on his knees and who at the moment is as good as or better than anyone in the game.
Not so long ago, Jonathan Quick was known as the goalie who could be fooled on the rebound, a guy who took too many risks and got caught over-playing shots. In this, his breakout season, he has allowed only 14 goals in nine playoff games, after keeping the mercurial Kings alive for much of the year. Up next are the Phoenix Coyotes, and Quick has been around long enough to know hockey in SoCal at this time of the year is something to be treasured.
An eight-year playoff drought, from 2002-10, would have devastated hockey fans in, say, New York or Boston, but in Los Angeles it mostly meant evenings were freed up to explore more natural activities, like dining, or stalking the TMZ cameras. This Kings' season has inspired a whole different kind of gawking.
"It's fun to still be playing hockey this time of year," Quick said Wednesday. "I think this is the deepest I've ever gone into the spring, so it's great. We want to keep going."
The forecast does appear to be favorable.

With three team time trial wins and nearly 15 top-five finishes, the Marian University cycling team raced its way into an early-season lead of the Midwest Collegiate Cycling Conference (MWCCC) road standings in Columbia, Kentucky, this weekend.
Senior Weston Luzadder won the men's A criterium for the second year in a row with freshman Stephan Hirsch behind him in second. The women's A team took places first through fifth to cap a weekend of fast racing and set the stage for the rest of the road season this spring, which will unfold around the Midwest in the next three months.
"It was a great weekend, a team win," reflected Luzadder. "I am looking forward to the coming weeks and leading the team to more wins, throughout the season, and mainly at nationals."
The 2013 race season started well for the Knights on Saturday, with team time trial wins in the men's A, women's A, and women's B categories. The men's B team delivered a second-place finish.
A hilly and windy road race that afternoon brought the first individual muscle-flexing of the road season, and the Knights delivered on a challenging course. Freshman C.J. Karas opened her collegiate road career with a win in the women's B race, and her teammates in the women's A race delivered a triple punch with junior Coryn Rivera in second, senior Allie Dragoo in third, and senior Jackie Kurth in fourth. Junior Ivy Audrain was not far behind in sixth.
Junior Adam Leibovitz opened his season with a second place behind University of Wisconsin's Alex Meyer, with Hirsch in fifth in the men's A race.
Sunday's criterium saw Karas take her second win in as many days, and in the women's A race, Marian University ladies achieved a full podium sweep, with Rivera, Kurth, Dragoo, Audrain, and freshman Emily Elbers taking the top five places.
"The MWCCC will be nothing but sizzling this season, all year in all disciplines, racing has been exceptional," said head coach Dean Peterson. "This [conference] is cycling's Big Ten, and some of the best bike racing in the country is happening here."
Marian University finished slightly ahead of conference rival Lindenwood University (St. Charles, Missouri) for the weekend, after all results were in. Competition in the coming weeks will also come from Indiana University, University of Notre Dame, and Lindsey Wilson College.
"One-third of the top 12 teams in the country is from our conference," Peterson added. "We have our work cut out for us. Winning the MWCCC will take guts, brains, and the whole team."
The Knights road team will travel to Greencastle, Indiana next Saturday and Sunday to compete at DePauw University, while the BMX squad makes their first bid at a national championship at Collegiate BMX Nationals in Phoenix, Arizona.

Imagine it's 1948. World War II has finally subsided, the economy is beginning to turn around, and once again motorsports can become a hobby and past-time for men oversized children.
That same year, Vincent came out with the 1948 Vincent-HRD Black Shadow Special, or as it's better known: the "Black Lightning". Advertised as "The World's Fastest Standard Motorcycle", it would take an intrepid Indian Motorcycle dealer to prove that claim. Racing at Bonneville with this very 998cc prototype, Rollie Free aimed to raise the motorcycle land speed record, and succeeded in memorable fashion.

Agricultural lands (excluding pastures) represent approximately 19% of the
land area of Latin America. Over the past 40 years, the contribution of agriculture
to the GDP of Latin American countries has been on the order of 10%. Agriculture
remains a key sector in the regional economy because it employs an important
segment (30-40%) of the economically active population. It also is very
important for the food security of the poorest sectors of the population.
Arable farming is based on annual crops of cereals (wheat, maize, barley, rice,
oats), oil seeds (soybean, peanuts, sunflower), vegetables/tubercles (potatoes,
cassava), and a variety of perennial grasses, including specialty crops such
as cotton, tobacco, tea, coffee, cacao, sugarcane, and sugar beet. Major tree/shrub
crops include a large variety of fruits, oil palm, and others. This farm production
has given rise to associated activitiessuch as beekeeping and bee productsas
well as important agro-industries that produce valuable incomes in countries
that already have developed their own markets and exporting lines.
Although the more important commercial agriculture and agro-industry businesses
are well developed in a few countries, many Latin American economies rely on
small farming system production. In smaller and poorer countries, such as rural
communities in Central America and the Andean valleys and plateaus, agriculture
is the basis of subsistence lifestyles and the largest user of human capital.
For these countries, agriculture is the main producing sector; it undoubtedly
is severely affected by climate variations and would be seriously influenced
by climate change (Rosenzweig and Hillel, 1998).
Extremes in climate variability (e.g., the Southern Oscillation) already severely
affects agriculture in Latin America. In southeastern South America, maize and
soybean yields tend to be higher than normal during the warm Southern Oscillation
and lower during the cold phase (Berlato and Fontana, 1997; Grondona et al.,
1997; Magrin et al., 1998; Baethgen and Romero, 2000). Contributions
to variability as a result of global warming and/or reduction in evapotranspiration
from forest loss would be added to this background variability, thereby aggravating
losses caused by extreme events.
Land-use choices will be affected by climate change. For example, increasing
precipitation in marginal areas could contribute to an increase in cropped lands
(Viglizzo et al., 1995). On the other hand, more favorable prices for
grain crops relative to those for cattle are causing an increase in cultivated
lands (Basualdo, 1995). The continued global trend to replace subsistence with
market crops also creates an increasing threat to soil sustainability and enhances
vulnerability to climate change.
Global warming and CO2 fertilization effects on agricultural yields
vary by region and by crop. Under certain conditions, the positive physiological
effects of CO2 enrichment could be countered by temperature increasesleading
to shortening of the growth season and changes in precipitation, with consequent
reductions in crop yields. Reduced availability of water is expected to have
negative effects on agriculture in Mexico (Mundo and Martínez-Austria,
1993; Conde et al., 1997b). However, increases in temperature would benefit
maize yields at high altitudes and lower the risk of frost damage (Morales and
Magaña, 1999). Several studies were carried out in the region to assess
the impact of climate change on annual crop yields. Most of these studies use
crop simulation models with GCMs and incremental (temperature and precipitation)
scenarios as climatic inputs. Baethgen and Magrin (1995) have shown that winter
crop yields in Uruguay and Argentina are more sensitive to expected variations
in temperature than precipitation. Under nonlimiting water and nutrient conditions
and doubled-CO2, the results for Argentina have shown that maize,
wheat, and sunflower yield variations are inversely related to temperature increments,
whereas soybean would not be affected for temperature increments up to 3°C
(Magrin et al., 1997b, 1999a,b,c). Results obtained under rainfed conditions
for different crops and management approaches in the region are summarized in
Table 14-5; most of these results predict negative
impacts, particularly for maize.
Adaptive measures to alleviate negative impacts have been assessed in the region.
In Mexico, Conde et al. (1997a) found that increasing nitrogen fertilization
would be the best option to increase maize yields, although it would not be
economically feasible at all levels. In Argentina, the best option to improve
wheat, maize, and sunflower yields would be to adjust planting dates to take
advantage of the more favorable thermal conditions resulting from fewer late
frosts (Travasso et al., 1999). However, this adaptive measure would
be insufficient for maintaining actual wheat and maize yield levels. Genetic
improvement will be necessary to obtain cultivars that are better adapted to
the new growing conditions. For wheat and barley crops in Uruguay and Argentina,
a longer growth season could be achieved by increasing photoperiodical sensitivity
(Hofstadter et al., 1997; Travasso et al., 1999).
Subsistence farming could be severely threatened in some parts of Latin America.
The global agricultural model of Rosenzweig et al. (1993) identifies
northeastern Brazil as suffering yield impacts that are among the most severe
in the world (see Reilly et al., 1996; Canziani et al., 1998;
Rosenzweig and Hillel, 1998). Because northeastern Brazil is home to more than
45 million people and is prone to periodic droughts and famines even in the
absence of expected climate changes, any changes in this region would have major
human consequences.
Climate changes can be expected to lead to changes in soil stocks of carbon
and nitrogen. In the Argentinean pampas, chemical degradation of soils, based
on climate changes predicted by the GISS GCM (Hansen et al., 1988) at
an atmospheric CO2 concentration of 550 ppm, would reduce organic
nitrogen by 6-10% and organic carbon by 7-20% in the topsoil as a
result of lower dry-matter production and an increased mineralization rate (Díaz
et al., 1997).
Tree crops in locations where frost risk presents a limitationsuch as
coffee in Paraná, Brazilbenefit from higher minimum temperatures
resulting from global warming (Marengo and Rogers, 2000).

In the sweltering heat—it was 125 degrees on the red carpet—TV's biggest stars came out to celebrate the best in television for the 64th Annual Emmy Awards. Or maybe it was instead, as host Jimmy Kimmel explained, a night for the actors in attendance to really show their chops by feigning excitement when another actor wins. Though he did have some comforting words for all the losers out there, "We'll make this quick so you can go home and put on your fat pants."
The glamorous night saw Modern Family win practically everything, Jon Stewart keep his winning streak alive and Josh Groban sing One Direction's "You Don't Know You're Beautiful" in tribute to Kimmel.
The speeches were kept short and sweet with Eric Stonestreet, who plays Cameron on Modern Family, thanking his onscreen counterpart Jesse Tyler Ferguson for helping him complete TV's favorite gay couple when accepting the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
Fellow Modern Family castmember Julie Bowen, who won for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy, talked about how lucky she was to make her living by falling down, making faces and wearing lipstick. Oh, and don't forget about the nipple covers, which Bowen felt also played a part in her success.
Some of the best moments were those that seemed spontaneous like Kimmel trying to up the ratings by having Tracy Morgan pretend to pass out on stage. While Morgan lay there, Kimmel asked those at home to tweet about the incident to spike some interest in the show. No word yet if it helped.
Later on in the broadcast when Julia Louis-Dreyfus won for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series she mistakenly started reading fellow nominee Amy Poehler's speech thanking NBC, Parks and Recreation along with Poehler's two little boys, Archie and Abel. When Dreyfus hugged Poehler right before getting up on stage the two pretended to switch speeches and got some of the biggest laughs of the night.
The night held a few other surprises like comedian Louis C.K. taking home two awards and Aaron Paul earning himself another supporting actor trophy for Breaking Bad. Paul even seemed surprised about his win, but managed to thank his parents for getting him out of the house, the writers for not killing his character, and his fiancée who he thanked for "looking at me the way you do."
Maybe the best story of all though was Homeland, the little show that could. The Showtime series managed to beat Mad Men, who was looking to make history with their 5th consecutive win for Outstanding Drama Series. It also marked the first time the network has won for both lead actor (Damian Lewis) and actress (Claire Danes) in a drama category.
A pregnant Danes managed to thank everyone she knew during her acceptance speech, but saved the sweetest thanks for her hubby actor Hugh Dancy who she sweetly called "my love, my life, baby daddy."
Check below to see who won some of the biggest awards of the night.
