Astros County Top 25 Prospects: 15-11
15. Kevin Chapman
As a lefty reliever, Chapman finally showed some ability to get out right handed hitters in 2012, though his walk rate remains too high. Admittedly, it's risky to rank a minor league reliever this high, but with a floor as a lefty specialist I think Chapman has a good shot of reaching the majors some day. He was originally a 4th round pick by the Royals and came to the Astros in the Humberto Quintero deal. He should spend most of the season in AAA and has the chance to earn a cup of coffee this season.
14. Andrew Aplin
Aplin is a centerfielder with a little pop and a lot of speed. As is the case with many of the prospects added to the system recently, he also shows some patience at the plate. Aplin was taken in the 5th round of the 2012 draft by the Astros. He should spend the season in A ball.
13. Preston Tucker
Tucker is a corner outfielder with some power, a decent walk rate, and a low strikeout rate. I could see him and Aplin playing side by side for a few years to come. Tucker should also be in A ball in 2013. He was the Astros 7th round pick in 2012.
12. Austin Wates
Wates is best known for his Sportscenter Top Plays catch over the wall, but the attention he received afterwards is warranted. As a left fielder who can play a little center, Wates' best tools are his defense and his strong batting average. He's also very engaging with fans on Twitter. Wates was the 3rd round pick by Houston in 2010 and earned a shot at AAA pitching this year.
11. Nolan Fontana
Fontana got a lot of attention for walking 65 times in just 49 games in 2012. That said, he also struck out a lot and only hit .225, though that's a direct result of him taking so many pitches and working to two-strike counts. A more balanced approach will help this shortstop going forward. Picked in the 2nd round by the Astros in 2012, Fontana should spend the year in A ball.

Interesting, and great fodder for discussion/thought. I forget about Chapman but he certainly could become a fine lefty RP; I agree that 15 is too high for him though.
I'm curious who will have been left out of your top 25, for instance, Asher W has been ranked in the 11-20 range by many.
I might quibble with Wates and Tucker (who look like bench types to me) ranking so high, but all in all, it's like you said: much of the 11-25 are interchangeable, some high-floor guys and some intriguing-but-risky guys. The real creme-dela-creme is in the top 10.

I'm not quite as high on Austin Wates as you are. He seems like a slightly better version of J.B. Shuck. The consensus seems to be that he doesn't have enough glove to play center, and not enough bat to play the corners, so he seems likely to be a 4th/5th outfielder, so that wouldn't keep him in the top 15 for me.
Likewise Tucker has a big bat, but may not bring enough D to stick in the corners. Still, the bat is impressive and I know you can make the argument to put him up that high.
I like Kevin Chapman, but as just a reliever I think there's higher upside guys that could fit there as well.

I had to sell my entire collection when I was 11.
I'm sure many of mine are buried in the garden of my childhood home...I should probably hit up the owners and see if they would let me dig it up.
I'm thinking about allowing that one figure to remain unmint in my set that I'm close to completing, just as a little homage to my childhood.
wow not to have any of the toys from my childhood would be a bit disheartening. if i didnt still have these guys, i wouldnt be collecting today. i'm going to have to pull out some of the more broken pieces and put them on display when i have the room, just to show how i played with them as a kid.

Bride kiss saves guest, A bride's kiss has saved a guest at her wedding, after a young friend collapsed on the floor on the dance floor.
Kylie Cox, 24, of Cornwall, U.K., was dancing with a male friend when the 28 year old guest collapsed on the floor. The bride, a nurse, quickly rushed into action and administered life-saving CPR to stabilize him.
The friend survived and Cox's CPR efforts are now being touted as "the kiss of wife." The bride has explained after the incident that her quick actions were all down to her training: "Our friend asked me for a dance, but while we were on the dance floor, he complained of feeling faint … I turned round to get him a chair and he collapsed."
She added, "I rushed over and gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation … A bridesmaid, who is also a nurse, did the same and my uncle and another guest joined in to give him chest compression until the ambulance arrived."
New husband Russell, 24, went to the hospital with his new wife. Cox said, "… me and Russell spent the first night of our marriage at the hospital, because we didn't know whether our friend was going to live or die."
She added, "The doctors told us it was a miracle he survived … He only had one drink all day as he was driving. He's still in hospital, but he's going to make a full recovery."
The wedding party did continue with guests trying their best to celebrate with the newlyweds. However, the couple reportedly left their own wedding party at about 8.30 p.m. to rush back to their friend's bedside in hospital to make sure he would be alright.
The couple have since said that they are thinking about re-doing their reception party.

The Vancouver Canucks lost 3-1 to the Florida Panthers on Thursday night. While that generally isn't a good thing, it's a loss that was easy to take if you were a Canucks fan.
Roberto Luongo's return to Roger's Arena was pretty much the perfect script for the much loved/maligned former Canuck. The only thing that would have made it complete was if he had pitched a shutout against his friends in blue.
I'm a Roberto Luongo fan, and I think some of the stuff he went through here was pretty bush league and I blame Mike Gillis for that. He created a 2-year goaltending circus in Vancouver and it cost the Canucks one of the league's best goaltenders, and one of its best young up and comers in Cory Schneider.
His detractors will point to his playoff collapses and his defenders will point to the lack of support in those games. Regardless of that situation he is the best goaltender the Canucks have had over their existence.
Rarely did he show frustration with the way things went down. He even went as far to say he felt Gillis did his best to resolve the situation. He handled it with class and played hard for the team until the end.
You could tell Luongo enjoyed it all. The tribute, the fans, the outcome. He even got a chance to salute the faithful after he was rightfully named the 1st star of the game. He spoke of trying not to watch too much of a first period video tribute because he was afraid his emotions would get to him.
"It was special. The whole night, people were cheering me on. Just really thankful for the support and really happy that things went the way they did," said Luongo.
Roberto Luongo grew as a person as a Canuck. The guarded, emotional Luongo that arrived evolved into the relaxed, humorous Luongo. Maybe that was always there, but we didn't see much of it in his early days as a Canuck. Thanks to Twitter, we saw a lot of it in his final years here.
Sure, the Canucks lost the game, but if you're a Luongo fan, it kind of felt like a win.
As the video tribute displayed, let me just say one more time, thanks for eight great years, Lu.

I don't know if I've ever shared that I have a deep love for pudding. Not the kind that comes from a box on the Jello aisle and certainly not that goop that's in a cup and requires no refrigeration. *shudder* I'm talking about the real deal. cooked milk and eggs, kind of pudding. That's the kind of pudding that I adore. When I was about five I ate almost an entire bowl that my mom had made for our family of (at that point) five. In my defense, she did say there was pudding in the kitchen and I could have some if I wanted some. As it turned out, I wanted more than she had planned on me eating. Oops. Sorry to the rest of the family...That's one of my earliest pudding eating memories, and me love for it has carried over to adulthood.
My mom is a very skilled pudding maker. She makes all kinds and all are wonderful. She's been know to turn skeptical sons-in-laws into pudding converts. One of my favorites is her rice pudding. I've had many versions of rice pudding but my mom's is still the best one I've ever eaten. It's super easy but does cook for a long time. Trust me it's completely worth the hour and a half cook time. If you think you don't like rice pudding, give this one a try and I'll bet you'll be a convert too.
Rice Pudding
Serves about 6 (or one really hungry pudding lover!)
1/4 cup of rice
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together in an 2 quart oven safe bowl or pot. Place into the oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Stir the pudding after the first 25 minutes, then stir 2-3 more times until the rice is tender and the pudding has a thick, creamy consistency. If you want the skin over the top, do not stir during the last 20 minutes of baking. Allow the pudding to cool. Then refrigerate until cold through.
*I don't like raisins cooked into pudding. For me they plump up too much in the pudding and...yick, not for me. If you like them, then by all means put them in! You can eat the pudding warm, but I think it gets even better if it has a chance to chill down.

Large-Scale Flows in the Milky Way Halo
This diagram shows the large-scale flows of gas in the Milky Way halo of faint stars and hot gas. Using the Hubble Space Telescope's Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, Nicolas Lehner and Chris Howk at the University of Notre Dame were able to directly constrain the distance of the fast-moving ionized clouds responsible for flows of gas in the Milky Way halo. The invisible clouds were detected by finding their absorption signature in the ultraviolet spectra of distant background halo stars. The researchers found that the clouds are reservoirs of gas that enable stars to continue to form in the Milky Way. Without the replenishment from recycled gas and infalling extragalactic material, stars would have stopped forming in the Milky Way a long time ago. This study also suggests the clouds slow down as they approach the Milky Way.

Strawberries That Don't Talk Back
Picking up some fresh roadside produce from a local farm I discovered that sassy strawberries are about as desirable as a surly teenager. That sqeeck they make, simply unnatural. Just as we accept the imperfections of our developing offspring we should the strawberry. A little misshapen and not evenly red make for the juciest and tasty slices over that bagel french toast I tried.

Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD ReMIX Trailer: The Final Birth is Re:coded
As if you didn't know it was coming, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX has received a debut trailer. Let's see how simple and clean they can make these games look in HD.
The new trailer for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX features footage from Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts: Re:coded. And as you can see from the trailer above, it's all in beautiful HD. We'll just have to wait for the English audio, we suppose.
A post on the PlayStation Blog features an announcement from Square Enix that reveals that Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX will launch globally in 2014, so anyone who hasn't caught up on the series can try to get up to speed before Kingdom Hearts 3 launches.
What's noteworthy about this release is that Birth by Sleep Final Mix was previously only available in Japan. So unless you were hardcore and imported a copy, this will be your first chance to get a crack at the Final Mix.
Watch the trailer above and wait for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX next year. We'll keep you updated as more information for this title is released.

News editor
Dr. Lane Smith opened his chiropractic office, Smith Chiropractic & Acupuncture, Nov. 5 in downtown Marion, but the path that led him to the office began when he was in high school.
Smith injured himself playing football and lifting weights when he was in high school.
"The chiropractor was where I got my relief," he said.
With a desire to help other people and firsthand experience that chiropractic care helped him, Smith decided to pursue a career as a chiropractor.
He earned a bachelor's degree in human biology before getting his doctorate from Cleveland Chiropractic College in 2007. He worked for a while in Wichita before joining a practice in Emporia in February 2010.
After he married Marion native Amber Moore in October, he decided to open his own office in Marion. He still works in Emporia two days a week, but his office is open 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, and by appointment Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
"It's been good," Smith said. "The community has welcomed me."
The first thing most people think when they hear about chiropractic is spinal adjustment, Smith said. That is an important part of chiropractic, but it is far from the only thing he does, he said. Smith can also advise patients on diet, nutrition, and exercise.
Smith also performs acupuncture, which is separate from chiropractic care, but he thinks the two disciplines work best together.

What do you do to find the power series for an inverse relationship such as for $y$ in $y + \sin(y) = x$? I'm not sure where to begin.
(Similarly, the Lambert $W$ function has such a power series for $y$ in $y = W(x)$ ($y e^y = x$) which allows computation.)

This is a pretty interesting comment from Morgan Stanley's Joachim Fels.
It's about the divergence we're now seeing between policymakers in Europe (still on the austerity path) and Japan (trying to loosen like crazy), a pattern that will likely result in the yen weakening significantly against the euro, which will be to the detriment of European exporters.
Apart from the equity 'frenzy', one of the most fascinating developments to watch in the new year is the divergent policy paths now pursued in Japan and the euro area. The new Japanese government just unveiled a Y10.3 trillion economic stimulus package and increased the pressure on the Bank of Japan to ease monetary policy (see 'Quote of the Week' below) - a call that is likely to be heeded soon. Meanwhile, euro area governments are still tightening fiscal policy and the ECB Council this week didn't even discuss a rate cut even though the economy remains mired in recession and the ECB staff slashed its economic forecast significantly a month ago. Following Mario Draghi's tough talk at the press conference, our euro team has thrown in the towel on their call for another ECB rate cut. The most obvious consequence of this policy divergence is euro appreciation and yen depreciation, which will benefit Japanese exporters at the expense of their European competitors. Yet, to me it is "déjà-vu all over again" as Yogi Berra used to say - I think it is only a question of time until the ECB will be forced to reverse its resistance against further easing, either through a sharp further appreciation of the euro or a reversal of the sharp tightening in peripheral bond yield spreads. While the latter would likely push countries into a programme and would trigger the OMT, the best response to excessive currency strength and the related downward pressure on the economy and prices is cutting interest rates.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Losses coming from Zynga Inc., Groupon Inc. and VeriSign Inc. took the tech spotlight early Friday and led to the sector finishing out November with mixed results by the time the market closed.
Zynga ZNGA, -2.25% shares ended the day down by more than 6%, at $2.46, after the social-gaming firm on Thursday announced several changes in its terms with Facebook Inc. FB, -2.40% Zynga depends on people using Facebook to play games such as "CityVille" and "Mafia Wars" for the majority of its revenue and traffic.
In a regulatory filing, Zynga said that it is no longer under obligation to use Facebook credits for payments on its own Zynga.com gaming platform, and that Facebook will now be able to develop its own games. See: Fiscal Cliff? Zynga Is Facing The Facebook Cliff.
Groupon GRPN, -0.85% shares fell almost 9%, to close at $4.14. On Thursday, the daily-deal company's board of directors reportedly chose to keep Chief Executive Andrew Mason on the job. Earlier in the week, Mason said he was willing to "fire myself" if he thought he wasn't the right person to lead Groupon.
VeriSign VRSN, -1.55% shares tumbled more than 13% to end the day at $34.15 after the domain-name registrar said it would be limited in raising prices due a new deal with the U.S. government. See: VeriSign falls after new domain-registry deal.
Losses also came from tech bellwethers International Business Machines Corp. IBM, -2.90% Microsoft Corp. MSFT, -1.17% Dell Inc. DELL, -4.78% and Cisco Systems Inc. CSCO, -2.69%
Apple Inc. AAPL, -1.71% shares were off by almost 1% at $585.28 as the company said the iPad mini and iPhone 5 would be released in China in December.
The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -1.58% ended the day with a loss of almost 2 points to close at 3,010. For the month, the tech-heavy market gauge rose 1.1%, its first positive November since 2009.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, -1.65% and the Morgan Stanley High Tech 35 Index US:MSH also closed Friday with small losses.
Gains came from Tellabs Inc. US:TLAB which saw its shares rise almost 21%, to close at $3.56, after the networking-equipment company said it would pay a special dividend of $1 a share on Dec. 21. The dividend is payable to shareholders of record as of Dec. 14.
Chip maker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. AMD, -3.83% climbed nearly 8%, to finish the day at $2.20 a share after reports Thursday said the company was looking to sell its campus in Austin, Texas as part of an effort to raise money.

British female number one Heather Watson will begin her Wimbledon campaign today, after Andy Murray's first round victory yesterday ensured Murray mania is back for another year.
And today also sees a host of big names step out onto the courts in SW19 including Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams and Roger Federer.
Watson will take on Croatian Ajla Tomljanovic, while fellow British hopeful Samantha Murray will take on reigning French Open champion Maria Sharapova - in perhaps the most daunting match-up of the round.
Asked about what she thought of her British opponent at the weekend, Sharapova said: "I don't know much about her. I will try to find some videos, do a little scouting."
Another British player stepping out at the All England Club today is Daniel Smethurst who launches his bid for glory against the USA's John Isner.
Tennis is not the only sport in town this summer though, and the England team are set to play their final World Cup game against Costa Rica tonight in Brazil.
Murray has objected to the notion that the hopes of the nation depend on him winning Wimbledon following England's World Cup disaster.
It was a star-studded family affair for the Scot yesterday with a sell-out crowd on Centre Court that included his parents, grandparents, and a host of celebrities, who looked on as he beat Belgium's David Goffin in the first round.
The sun was out over the All England Club on the opening day of the famous tennis tournament, and tickets sold "quicker than we've seen", according to an official.
With England's footballers set to fly home early from Brazil, hopes are pinned on Murray to make it two in a row following his historic victory last summer against Novak Djokovic.
But the 27-year-old has objected to people asking him about how England's failure means hopes of a second Wimbledon title have been increased.
Asked if he was giving British sports fans something to cheer about, Murray told the press: "No. I'm here to do my thing.
"I don't think that the English football team get asked about me in their press conferences. So I'd appreciate it if that wasn't brought up when I was playing because I'm yet to hear Wayne Rooney talk about my matches at Wimbledon. I don't think it's fair."
Murray will face Slovenian Blaz Rola tomorrow, and Rola admits he does not know what to expect when he takes to Centre Court for the first time, if the match is played there.
He said he thinks he will embrace it, but added: "Hopefully I don't poop my pants and don't play well."
Meanwhile, a cash-strapped British tennis player whose funding was stopped won her first ever match at Wimbledon - after researching how to become an au pair just last year.
Naomi Broady, 24, was suspended from the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) in 2007 after a photograph of her standing next to a condom machine on a night out appeared on social networking site Bebo.
The "naughty" tennis player has funded herself since and yesterday's victory means her Wimbledon winnings will be at least £43,000 - putting her in a more attractive position than she was in last summer.
"Last year when I was looking at other things to do, it was specifically because I couldn't fund my tennis. It was, therefore, hindering my tennis and I wasn't getting the best out of it," she said.
Adding: "Well, this time last year I was lucky enough to get a wildcard into the qualifying for Wimbledon. But the week before that, I was researching how to become an au pair, and I was going to go live in another country somewhere.
"I was going for Paris. If you can go anywhere, I was going for Paris. I was looking at doing First Aid courses, language courses, to become an au pair because I couldn't afford to play tennis."
Broady, who fancies treating herself to a Mulberry handbag, said she likes her "bad girl" reputation.
Adding: "So I quite like that people are intrigued by my naughty side which doesn't exist. That's great."
Broady was asked how she feels about people still bringing up the controversial photograph, and she said: "Well, it's my own fault because I haven't done anything since then.
"If I'd had a big win, posted another disgusting picture since, we'd have something else to talk about, but we don't.
"It was clearly a joking picture standing like that next to a condom machine. Didn't even know it was a condom machine."

Cammie's Great Green Attic Bedroom
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Cammie
- Location:
- Lawrence, KS
- Division:
- United States
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- I love the green floor! Our bedroom is in the attic of a small bungalow-style home and one of our first projects when we moved in was ripping out the dark brown carpet. Underneath was a very low-quality wooden floor, so we had no reservations painting it. Most of the walls in our house are off-the-shelf âultra pure white,â so the green is a refreshing sea of color.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?:
- Iâm a firm believer in âa place for everything, and everything in its place,â especially when your loved ones might not be incredibly passionate about organization. This was particularly critical when we lived in an apartment only slightly larger than our current bedroom. Even though we "up-sized," we whittled down our belongings quite a bit in the move. Having mostly open storage makes it easy to resist collecting clutter. I also like to have a very restrained color palette, because the room still seems cohesive even when it gets messy.
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?:
- Being in the attic, our bedroom gets really hot in the summer and really cold in the winter. So it is mostly reserved for sleeping and the occasional pug nap. To make the most of this large space, about half of the room is used as a closet and dressing area. In our previous apartment, we had to share a tiny closet and keep our shoes bungee corded to the wall. Here, we have the luxury of each having our own clothing rack and plenty of shelves for shoes (not pictured). Having our bedroom in the attic also allows us to use the two bedrooms on the main floor as offices.

MORROW, Ga. – The Georgia College women's basketball team (15-7, 8-7 PBC) had one of its best starts of the season before falling to Clayton State University (17-5, 12-3 PBC), 82-77 Monday at the Clayton State Athletics Center. Junior Enisha Donley (Loganville, Ga.) led the team in points, rebounds, assists and steals.
Donley registered a career-high in points with 26 and added nine boards, six assists and four steals for a stellar game for the Bobcats. Senior Brandi McKinney (Cincinnati) accounted for 20 points but it wasn't enough to snap the Lakers' nine-game win streak.
Also solid for the Bobcats was junior Belinda Schaafsma (Momence, Ill.) who had eight points and rebounds. Senior Abby Slocumb (Suwanee, Ga.) had her five-game streak of three blocks snapped, getting only two.
The first half was marked by scoring runs by both sides. Georgia College got out of the gate quickly with a 12-0 lead. The Lakers responded with a 16-3 run to take a 16-15 lead. The Bobcats got the next seven and the Lakers countered with the next eight. A McKinney layup with over four minutes left in the first gave the Bobcats their last lead at 26-24. In the final four minutes of the half, Shacamra Jackson's eight points and Tiayra Green's two threes would give the Lakers a 38-35 lead at the break.
Clayton State got 17 second-half free throws, shooting nearly 95 percent at the charity stripe to keep their lead throughout the game. The Bobcats got within five points six different times in the final six minutes of the game before finally losing by five.
The Lakers were led by Green's 23 with 15 coming from beyond the arc. Jackson and Bena Hayword added 14 apiece, while Kiana Morton chipped in 10.
Georgia College moves to 8-7 in conference play, remaining in fifth in a tough Peach Belt Conference (PBC) West Division, where five of the seven teams have winning conference records. The top four in the division advance to the PBC Tournament in March, and with Young Harris College ineligible for postseason play, the Bobcats hold the final spot in the West.
The Bobcats will have a rematch with Clayton State Wednesday, Feb. 19 for a PBC tilt starting at 5:30 p.m. in the Centennial Center.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

In the 21st century, clinicians know typhoid fever and malaria as two distinct diseases. However, in the 19th century, even experienced physicians may have been unable to to distinguish between them. When a doctor couldn't determine, the "catch all" diagnosis, "typhoidmalarial fever" was often used. This was the case in the death of great grandmother Addie K Johnson.
Addie K Johnson married John Mylott in Whitehall New York on the 15th of February 1882. Their marriage did not make its sixth anniversary because Addie Johnson died on New Year's Day 1888 on a canal boat docked in the Atlantic Basin in Brooklyn, New York. John Mylott was a Champlain canalman and navigated the water from New York Harbor to the St. Lawrence. Addie and John had several children in that short time: Walter Robert Mylott 1882-1934, Milo Benjamin Mylott 1884- 1937, George Leslie Mylott 1887-1964 and possibly an infant, Eleanor 188?-188?.
The Atlantic Boat Basin in Brooklyn where Champlain Canal
boats docked while in New York Harbor
It was customary for the wife and kids to live aboard in canaling season. So John, Addie, Walter, Benjamin, Leslie and Eleanor were, no doubt, all aboard the canal boat on many trips. December was late in the season to be traveling the Champlain canal and Hudson River and perhaps in 1887, the ice had not yet formed on the river so they made the trip to New York City with some cargo. Then something went wrong because on December 10th,1887 a doctor began attending Addie while the boat was docked in the Atlantic Basin in Brooklyn. Twenty one days later, in the early morning hours of New Year's Day 1888, the young mother was dead on the family's canal boat.
TyphoMalarial Fever
Meningitis and Convulsions
click on image for more detail
In the 21st century, there is no such diagnosis called TyphoMalarial Fever. Some of the credit in determining the fact that these are two separate diagnoses - before the advantage of modern microbiology and laboratory techniques, goes to the father of modern medicine, William Osler. A Canadian physician, Osler practiced in Montreal and later Baltimore where he was one of the four founders of John Hopkins Medical School. His famous contribution to medical literature, "The Principles and Practice of Medicine", a classic blend of keen observation, listening to complaints of patients, clinical experience was published four years after Addie K's death. Below is an abstract of a paper written in 2004 firmly giving Osler credit for his keen ability to differentiate typhoid from malaria.
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America: 2004 Mar;18(1):111-25.
Osler on typhoid fever: differentiating typhoid from typhus and malaria.Cunha BA..
Early in the history of medicine, physician had a difficult time differentiating acute febrile illnesses without localizing signs. Typhoid fever and malaria share common features, which caused diagnostic problems during the 1800s. Physician even introduced a new term, typho-malaria, a testimony to their diagnostic confusion. Osler, consummate clinician and careful observer, had vast experience with typhoid fever and malaria. He was able to easily discern between the key features of both of these infections. He also relied on fever patterns to clearly differentiate typhoid fever from malaria. Osler is credited for debunking the term typho-malaria. His clinical description of typhoid fever remains unsurpassed. Clinicians still can benefit greatly from reading Osler's clinical description of typhoid fever.
On a personal note, I doubt great grandmother Addie K. died from malarial in the midst of winter in New York City. The 1887-1888 winter, by all accounts, was unusually cold and later produced the "The Great White Blizzard of 1888" on the east coast and "The Children's Blizzard of 1888" in the upper mid west. Addie K's death certificate states the doctor began caring for her on December 10th. Malaria in New York City in December? It is much more likely Addie succumbed to typhoid due to using water for cooking and drinking directly from the Hudson River while navigating to New York City or while docked in the Atlantic boat basin. Sewerage into the river ran freely from the cities along the river - Troy, Albany, Kingston, Newburgh, Yonkers and Manhattan. Sanitation on barge boats was not treated and went directly into the waters and if Addie used a bucket dipped into the river water for her cooking, there was a good chance the culprit was typhoid.
There is one other possibility and that is that the death certificate is completely wrong. There is some evidence that Addie had an infant girl, Eleanor at the time of her death. Perhaps, the cause of death was puerperal fever, an infection after childbirth. We will never know.
Today, due to modern sanitation, hand washing, and a typhoid vaccination, typhoid fever and puerperal fever are infrequent.
The Lancet, 2002 Oct 26;360(9342):1339.
Addie K's body was returned to Whitehall and she is buried with her family in the North Granville Cemetery along NY route 22.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College & State University soccer program released its 2010 schedule Monday, featuring 10 home contests at Bobcat Field.
The Bobcats will again host two tournaments, the second annual Bobcat Shootout and the second Little Feet Invitational.
Action starts at the Little Feet South Florida Shootout, where the Bobcats will face Florida Southern College and host Lynn University Sept. 3 and 5. FSC made an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2009, bowing out in the first round 3-2 to the University of North Alabama.
The Bobcats open up the home slate Friday, Sept. 10 at 7:30 p.m. in game two of the Second Annual Bobcat Shootout, hosting Anderson University. Georgia College wraps up that tournament Sunday, Sept. 12 at 11 a.m., taking on No. 24 Florida Tech. The Panthers also made an NCAA Tournament bid a year ago, advancing to the second round.
A week later, Georgia College hosts the Second Annual Little Feet Invitational, facing Dowling College Sept. 17 and Barry University Sept. 19.
The Peach Belt Conference (PBC) slate begins at home this season, when the Bobcats host Georgia Southwestern State University Wednesday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. Four more home games follow, including the University of West Georgia Sept. 25 and Lander University Sept. 29.
Georgia College kicks off October against No. 23 Armstrong Atlantic State University. The 2009 PBC Tournament Champion Pirates come to Milledgeville Wed. Oct. 6 at 6:30 p.m. AASU made a trip to the NCAA Tournament last season, notching a 5-0 win over Belmont Abbey College before dropping in the second round. The Bobcat home stretch ends with Clayton State University Oct. 9.
After a trip to North Georgia Oct. 13, the Bobcats will hold Senior Day Saturday, Oct. 16 as they host Flagler College for the first time. The remaining four games are on the road, going to UNC Pembroke Oct. 20, and No. 11 Columbus State University Oct. 23. The Cougars advanced to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in 2009, falling to Carson-Newman College.
The regular season wraps up with matches at USC Aiken Oct. 27 and the University of Montevallo Oct. 30. The PBC Tournament opens up on campus sites Tuesday, Nov. 2, with the final four in Evans, Ga. Nov. 5 and 7.
The Bobcats had another successful season in 2009, taking third in the PBC with a 5-1-4 mark, 10-6-5 overall, their third-straight 10-win season. Six Bobcats were named all-conference in 2009, led by the first All-American in school history, goalkeeper Mary Rob Plunkett.
The GCSU Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Georgia College prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at Twitter.com username GCSUSID for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCSUBobcats.com to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GCSU Athletics Hall of Fame.

Mandriva 2009.1 Install
Mandriva 2009.1 Gnome Live CD is a very nice distribution. As always you can expect a great hardware detection and I was surprised at the speed of the distro once I had it installed. This is a short tutorial on how to install Mandriva. Burn the Live CD and then boot and you will have an icon on the desktop to do the install. Double click the icon and you can get started.
The wizard, Mandriva loves wizards, will have you start and the first question is if you want to use free space on the drive or do a custom partition. This example is a simple use of all the free space. Beware that you could destroy data on the disk so make sure you have a backup of anything on the drive.
For networking you must determine if you are using wired, wireless or other options to connect to the Internet. For help in understanding all of these options see the Wireless/Networking PDF. The example shows wired network.
The Mandriva install is quick and easy to do. The only real issue is that you need to know the terms and settings for networking options that you may be using. This example shows wired network with DHCP so that it is picking up the IP Address from the router. I was impressed with the speed and it felt much faster than Ubuntu 9.04… The Gnome desktop for Mandriva is 2.26.1 and worked flawlessly, at least for the time I worked on the desktop. Nice graphics, decent speed and a Control Center for administration that is excellent. I will put up a report on the Control Center soon. You can purchase the CD or DVDs for Mandriva Here.

I dont want this to be a distro vs distro debate but as someone running both Mandriva and Kubuntu for the past 2 months, I fail to see where Kubuntu has the edge on Mandriva.
Simply stunning desktop and the one with which I feel is ready for my folks to switch over.
Ive had them using OO, FF, Thunderbird, VLC, and Skype on Windows so when I leave my laptop over they've had no problems using it w/ Linux and they love the gorgeous KDE4.2 desktop.
Linux is now ready for grandma and grandpa and its simply a thing of beauty.
And as my dad keeps saying "I cant believe its free and that we get free updates too. Why didnt we switch earlier?"
May 8, 2009 at 5:12 pm
totalle agree.. For me, Mandriva is the best distro, veru polished, and, if someone would be interested in KDE, I'd only recommended Mandriva (or openSUSE, if any).
June 10, 2009 at 4:52 am
I have a problem with it, if I select scim-bridge as default input method, it automatically installs necessary packages, and prompt me to log out, so I did, when I login, I can switch using ctrl+space for other language input, but if I select ibus, although it also installs packages for me (something like ibus-gtk) but when I log out and log in, there is no ibus icon in the system tray and I cannot use ctl+space to invoke it.

We've got to stop being the stupid party.
Bobby Jindel 2013
Sire you risk having no Spain at all
El Cid 1961
A few hours ago at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Natick Mass where the GOP was poised to elect a chairman, the Republican party managed to do something so incredible that if you told me it was possible at the beginning of the night I would not have believed you.
After opening speeches, nominating speeches, and two excellent presentations by candidates Rick Green and Kirsten Hughes the 80 members of the local party committees took their vote, and this happened.
Yes you saw that right , the party actually disallowed a ballot for Rick Green marked "RG" because of course the intent of the committee member was to vote for the late World War 1 French Fighter Pilot Roland Garros giving Kirsten Hughes a 39-38 win with two abstention and one ballot disallowed.
And Yes, it took a committee member making a public objection for this mendacity to be revealed to the outrage of the assembled public (heavily supporting Greene) and the embarrassment of that public revelation for said ballot to be counted and a 2nd ballot to take place.
I commented thus
Believe it or not it got worse.
When the 2nd ballot was completed but before the votes was counted a motion was made to reconsider the allowing of the RG ballot to the absolute astonishment of the audience. It took some loud debate and audience reaction for the gentleman who proposed the reconsidering of the initial vote to withdraw it.
After the votes were counted the outgoing chairman asked Rick Green to announce the results, which was a victory for Kirsten Hughes. After very brief remarks Ms Hughes immediately moved for the adjournment of the meeting while activist shouted for the vote total that was not announced. Eventually she announced the vote 41-39 Hughes. As the balloting was secret we don't know if it was just a question of the two abstaining members going Hughes or several votes changing.
While a lot of people I trust deeply have wonderful things to say about Chairwoman Hughes and she certainly not only carried herself graciously to all she spoke to, but was kind enough to grant me what was likely her first on camera interview as GOP chair
the reactions of some of the activists present after the vote were bluntly not what you would want after this kind of event.
Others, while more conciliatory still bode ill
The Democrats couldn't have paid for a better result, Ms Hughes has her work cut out for her.
I'll have the rest of the videos I shot up tomorrow morning but I'll leave you with this.
In September of 2010 in Washington DC I interviewed tea party activists at a huge rally at the Capital and asked this question:
"Who here trusts the GOP?" Not a single hand went up
Now you know why.
Update: The remainder of my videos:
Interview Pat Barron just after my arrival:
Interview Marty Lamb before initial vote
Pan of the Room before the event:
Vice chairwoman before votes
Kirsten Hughes nomination seconded:
Rick Green Nomination seconded:
two videos pending
Kirsten Hughes campaign speech
Rick Green campaign speech
Update 3: Can you say "Cause and Effect?
I was not at all certain that a third Senate campaign in less than four years, and the prospect of returning to a Congress even more partisan than the one I left, was really the best way for me to continue in public service at this time. And I know it's not the only way for me to advance the ideals and causes that matter most to me," he said.
"That is why I am announcing today that I will not be a candidate for the United States Senate in the upcoming special election," Brown concluded."
While I think this is the right move for Brown I wonder if the reaction to yesterday's….interesting GOP committee election had anything to do with it?
BTW Apparently the NHGOP isn't doing much better on that unity thing:
We have to divide the party in order to unite it (Jim Foley's rant from the podium, and Wayne MacDOnald's attack on bloggers.)
We have to hide the vote count in order to prove we won (Both candidates for chairman were sworn to secrecy, and the delegates were not informed of the actual votes – news trickled out later)
We have to vote without a quorum to ensure the result is fair (Votes for area chairs were suddenly called during lunch break)
and the Grok People explain our function.

The issue is that the bottom of people's faces are cut off in the Pedigree view, as you can see in the screenshot below.
Now, skeptics may opine that this must be a problem with my photos. Not so :) The bug appears to be unique to the Pedigree view: the pop-up that appears when you hover over a person in Pedigree view, as well as the Person Profile page -- which all use the same photo -- all display as they should as you can see in the screenshots below.
So anyway, the good news is that I received an e-mail reply a couple of days ago from Jen Hodnett, the Ancestry.com product manager for the Tree Viewer, who stated
"you'll be happy to know that we're in the process of fixing this. Look for the update in the next week or so."
Yeah! Soon, we won't have our ancestors peering over the fence at us!

Twitter co-founder Biz Stone just launched a new app today. It's called Jelly and it exists to help you use your friends as a search engine.
You can snap a photo and ask your network "what is this?" or inquire about anything under the sun — like where the best cup of coffee in a specific neighborhood is. Think Twitter, Yelp, Facebook, and Yahoo Answers, and Quora coming together as one.
People are still trying to figure it out, but according to Valleywag, "Jelly" user @Bensign already snapped quite a photo today: Mark Zuckerberg texting and driving.

The Great Performance Series at Hope College will feature the vocal group The Rose Ensemble presenting "Voices of Ancient Mediterranean Jews, Christians & Muslims" on Thursday, March 31, at 7:30 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel.
"Few people will forget The Rose Ensemble's gripping and emotional interpretations," reviewed "Goldberg Magazine" of Spain after a recent performance.
Based in Saint Paul, Minn., and founded in 1996 by Jordan Sramek, the group's artistic director, The Rose Ensemble creates performances of vocal music, connecting each individual to past worlds with stories of spirituality and humanity.
Each presentation brings research from the world's manuscript libraries to new audiences, brining forth centuries of rarely performed repertoire. The ensemble has been called "first class" by the "Neuss-Grevenbroicher Zeitung," "Engaging... satisfying" by "Gramophone," and "flawlessly performed and smoothly structured" by the "Cleveland Plain Dealer."
The program that the ensemble is performing at Hope, "Voices of Ancient Mediterranean Jews, Christians & Muslims," spans both faiths and generations. Centuries of dedication and folklore in the chapels, synagogues and courts of early Italy, Spain and Portugal produced music with rhythms that reverberated across the Mediterranean. In this program spanning four centuries of vocal and instrumental music, a diverse collection of Arab-Andalusian dances, Sephardic laments, Spanish "villancicos," Hebrew chants and Galician spiritual "cantigas" come together in a fascinating exploration of language, culture and faith from a time that is not so different from the present.
"To hear the beauty of these single-line melodies is to experience an otherworldly beauty that reaches back nearly a thousand years," said "The St. Paul Pioneer Press."
The Rose Ensemble received the 2005 Chorus America Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence, and first place in the sacred music category at the 2007 Tolosa International Choral Competition in Spain.
With seven critically acclaimed recordings and a diverse selection of concert programs, the group has performed for audiences across the U.S. and Europe with repertoire spanning 1,000 years and more than 25 languages, including new research in Hawaiian, Swedish, Mexican and American vocal traditions.
The Rose Ensemble will launch two more European tours this summer, with appearances in northern Italy in June, and an extensive performance schedule in France during July and August.
Individual tickets are $18 for regular admission, $13 for senior citizens, and $6 for children 18 and under, and are available at the ticket office in the main lobby of the DeVos Fieldhouse. The ticket office is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and may be called at (616) 395-7890.
Additional information about the Rose Ensemble may be obtained online by visiting www.hope.edu/gps.
The DeVos Fieldhouse is located at 222 Fairbanks Ave., between Ninth and 11th streets. Dimnent Memorial Chapel is located at 277 College Ave., on College Avenue at 12th Street.

The European Alcohol Policy Research Alliance
Taking into account the European research gap for effective policy-making, AMPHORA has created the European Alcohol Policy Research Alliance. Internationally renowned experts are engaged in the analysis of scarcely explored or non-explored noteworthy areas of alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm, shared out in 9 interdependent work packages.
These areas include existing interventions and policies, socio-cultural determinants, advertisement, taxes, pricing, availability, access, early diagnosis and treatment, drinking environments and surrogate and illegal products.
Translating science into policy
The final goal of AMPHORA is the translation of science into policy trough easily understandable conclusions and recommendations.
AMPHORA aspires to strengthen the European research base on the impact of public health measures and interventions. This will enable a better guidance for integrated policy-making aimed at reducing the harm done by alcohol.
To ensure scientific findings correspond to the policy needs, two expert and counterpart meetings and a European Alcohol Policy conference will be held at the time that these countries hold the Presidency of the European Union.

Zines Matter (Still)
Make a zine in 2010. It has been about 13 years since the zine scene was really "happening" nationwide, but the current artistic, cultural, and aesthetic landscape seems to be all about nostalgia and irony.
As a mode of participating in 2010, consider seeking out a typewriter, gluestick, sharpies, and a clip art book, putting on some floral-print Doc Martens and ripping a hole in the knee of your jeans, and then launch into making a zine.
"But now blogs are where I share and absorb knowledge," you might be thinking. "My MacBook Pro doesn't really go with my Floral Print Doc Martens."
If you already write a blog but are interested in doing something different with your writing or your image-compiling abilities, consider making a cheaply producible, zine-style book anthology with visual art to compliment your writing. Or, conversely, if you make a photo blog, get a friend to write pieces to compliment your images. Bring it all to a different audience through turning it into a book.
If you spend a lot more of your time reading blogs than reading books, consider spending some time in the middle ground: zines!
The most direct way to becoming a zine appreciator– or "zinester"– is to make a zine yourself.
A simple, 5 step guide to swift zine making.
1. Ponder, then arrive at content.
Zines can be about anything, so a good way to find something interesting to write about is thinking such things as…
"What things do I know that hardly anybody else does? … "And would the world benefit from my sharing this knowledge?""What is is about modern writing and visual art that I don't connect with? How do I already deal with that? How could I deal with that differently? Should I make something that I definitely would connect with, in order that a likeminded person might find and appreciate what I make?""Are there stories I always tell people around me, because they are just sooo entertaining and exciting that they demand repetition? Maybe I should write those down and even illustrate them!""Are there secrets I need to let out, but don't know who to tell them to? Maybe I could publish them anonymously…""Am I frustrated that people seem like they would rather connect via profile pics and lists of favorite TV shows than by either conversing in person, by writing real letters, or by trading art directly or through the mail? Maybe its time to take a step back from the internet."
Answers to these kinds of questions and conclusions to these kinds of thoughts can come to you through the process of making a zine!
2. Write things.
With a note book or your computer or scrap paper, just scroll down whatever starts to come out. Fiction, autobiography, biography, essays, poetry, incomprehensible stream of conciousness gobeldigook… Zines can run the whole gambit. So just start and when you end up with plenty, edit down to the best "raw" material. Then edit that best material to make it consumable and comprehensive (or at least resemble digestable reading matter).
3. Decide how you want it to look, then try to make it fit your vision.
Start by making a master copy, either analog or digital. Fold some pages into a booklet shape or create in InDesign document. Get it to "big white canvas" status.
Ponder what makes an amazing book in your estimation. Set your standards really high, but be okay with making a simplified version of your dream zine. Spend a moment thinking about readability and pacing. Make some basic decisions like "every time there is new section, I'll use this typeface and this border."
Make your cover. Make early decisions about what paper it will be on, what information will be displayed, what image you'll use. If your cover is finished and looks incredible before you fill it with content, you have something to live up to, a natural precedent for quality.
4. Assemble and place images.
First thing, look around your dwelling for interesting images – find books, newspapers, photos, magazines, record covers, food packaging – you will now start building a collection of good clip art. Photocopy or scan everything interesting that you can find. Make drawings or prints of these images.
Legend has it that "copy of a copy = awful," but often in zine-making this process is what cleans up the design and makes images more striking. Paste lines disappear, shading becomes more muted, and absolute blacks pop. Copy your black and white images, reducing them if necessary to a size that will fit the pages of your zine.
Go outside your immediate surroundings to find more. Go to the library and check out old periodicals, books with chapter heading illustrations, and photography anthologies. Almost all photo books from before 1975 contain photographs that have enough contrast that they look as good or better when photocopied, especially if they end up on nice paper. Look deeper, through your own archives or your friends'. Sometimes that picture you took for a final project in photography class in high school has a home after all.
Cut the images out into little pieces of paper and store them in a manilla envelope for use when you are putting together the master copy of your zine.
Place your images in a pleasing manner throughout your master copy. If some will be direct illustrations for text content, leave room.
5. Place text, organize, decorate, and produce.
Write your text out by hand, type it on a typewriter, or print it off the computer and cut it out. Place it attractively amongst your images. Consider beginning, middle, and end; just the way you would if you were writing a short story or a play. Pacing of the zine as a whole is extremely important.
Flip through the master copy and just contemplate at how it looks. Don't read the text, just see how it appears on the page. Follow the stream of images when you flip through it quickly. Imagine yourself being a stranger picking up and only giving it 30 seconds of their attention. Will they see something that will make them stop, focus their eyes, and start to read?
Read the content, in detail, as if you are already won over as a reader. Does it live up to your imagined expectations? Edit as necessary from here, and then start producing.
Editor's note: This is post one in a series of three. This article will continue with Andrew's next post. Topics to be addressed include: zines in the digital age, low- or no-cost methods of production, and recommendations for further reading.

Welcome to the CRG Discussion Forum!Forum registration problems: Make sure you enter your email correctly and you check your spam box first. *Then* email KurtS2@gmail for help.Classified ads are not allowed on the forum.
Finally remembered to post this:67 LOS, 11B build, L48 w/ Pglide49.5 inches center to center, yokes are # 3790024 rear is 280A and front 280DU bolts, axle is PC1031G 3:31, yokes are clocked
My '69 L48 is 5.5 inches. I thought when we rebuilt the driveshaft it was the wrong one but checking another for verification it was correct. My driveshaft is also clocked and that brought on a bunch of weird looks and a big discussion at the shop until the post about the drivehsafts come up.
I think that I know why there is a 1/2 inch difference in driveshaft lengths between the '67-68 and '69 driveshafts but want info to verify. I believe it is because there is a difference in lengths of the transmission yokes being used for these years. Can anyone measure their transmission yokes from center of u-joint to end of yoke and report their findings. Be sure to include what year yours is. They should measure either 4.875 inches or 5.5 inches.
For 67 and 68 cars with the 396, different frame mounts for the engine were used which pulled the engine forward about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Also note the holes for the 396 cross member for use with a manual transmission had the transmission mounting holes about 3/4 inch forward. The PG, TH350, 3 speed manual and 4 speed manual transmissions are all close to 27 5/8 or 27 3/4 inches long (including bellhousing length). But the TH400 is slightly longer - around 28 1/4 inches. 67 and 68 Camaros used two different lengths. 49.96 inches for all applications except the 396 with manual trans which was 50.46 inches. 69 Camaros all used the same length, 49.56 inches. This appears to be due to the frame mounts all being the same for the big blocks and small blocks. Although I can't find anything listed, it seems the TH400 driveshaft should be slightly shorter.So that is why I am looking for actual measurements, to confirm these numbers.


text: Neil Brock Posted March 7, 2012 I am pleased to announce the release of the Football Manager 2012 January Transfer Update. The update will be rolling out via Steam after 6pm depending on your connectivity. Also included within the update are a number of fixes for the game which are included in a changelist in the post below. Again as with previous updates, you may already have already noticed Steam updating your game automatically (depending on your Steam settings) and once complete you will be running the latest version of the game. Bear in mind this update includes the latest database, so will be slightly larger than previous updates. Please be patient while the update downloads and automatically installs itself – it may also be worth waiting a few minutes after the download completes before attempting to launch the game. If you get any messages stating the game is now unavailable, we recommend verifying your cache as shown here in the FAQ - http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/279162-Football-Manager-2012-*OFFICIAL*-FAQ?p=7184719&viewfull=1#post7184719 Please if you have any feedback in regards to the 12.2.0 update please feel free to post it in this thread – http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/300658 Below is a brief FAQ answering some of the most commonly asked questions following an update release: 12.2.0 FAQ Is this update save game compatible? As with all our released updates in the past, this update is totally save game compatible - you will be able to continue any saves started before this update as normal. Will the new data become available in my old save game? No, you will have to start a new game for the updated data to appear in your game. I'm really happy with my current save game, why should I start a new game? You don't have to; the majority of fixes included in this update will take effect in your current save game. However rule/competition changes and of course the updated data will only be evident if you start a new game. I was told that an issue would definitely be fixed but the issue does not appear in the change list – what gives? Not every single fix will be included within the changelist – we try to be as thorough as possible but unfortunately due to the complex nature of how the code is changed some items will not be included. This does not mean the issue has been ignored, if we've said it's been looked at and fixed earlier then chances are that is most certainly the case. How do I update the editor? If you've already downloaded it previously it will update automatically, otherwise you need to download it like you would have done previously. Details on how to do so here - http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/279217-FM-2012-Downloading-The-Editor-amp-Resource-Archiver I've loaded the new database, but it seems some transfers aren't in the game? Why were these missed? Unfortunately as with everything eventually time just runs out. Some transfers (say the two players who 'walked away' from Rangers or Diarra to Fulham) just happened too late to be included in this update. Also please remember that short-term and emergency loans are not included in the database. Examples of these are Kuszczak to Watford and Elokobi to Nottingham Forest; they are not included. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Missoula County Receives Three Times More Concealed Carry Permit Applications Than Last Year [AUDIO]
The number of applications in Missoula County for concealed carry firearms permits in January of 2013 has tripled from those in January of 2012.
Missoula county sheriff's department spokesman Jason Johnson says six applications were received in the first twenty days of January, 2012, but there have been eighteen permit applications in the first twenty days of 2013.
Johnson says those who apply for and are granted a concealed carry permit must go through a thorough background check, including references from various agencies to ensure the applicant does not have a criminal record or a history of mental problems.
Johnson says those with an up-to-date concealed carry permit do not have to go through the waiting period when they purchase a firearm from a dealer.
Sheriff's Department spokesman Jason Johnson
