[264 U.S. 286, 287] Messrs. Redmond S. Brennan, of Kansas City, Mo., John F. McCarron, of Washington, D. C., Frank Bonar Hegarty, of Kansas City, Mo., and Phil. H. Callery, of Pittsburg, Kan., for plaintiff in error.
Messrs. John G. Egan, of Topeka, Kan., Chester I. Long, of Wichita, Kan., and Richard J. Hopkins, of Topeka, Kan., for the State of Kansas.
Mr. Justice BRANDEIS delivered the opinion of the Court.
The Court of Industrial Relations Act was approved January 23, 1920. Laws of Kansas, 1920, Special Session, [264 U.S. 286, 288] c. 29. The purpose of the statute is to insure continuity of operation in coal mining and other businesses declared to be affected with a public interest. 1 The means provided for accomplishing this is a system of compulsory arbitration of industrial disputes. The instrument is the so- called industrial court. Upon it is conferred power to investigate all matters involved in such controversies; to make findings thereon; to issue such orders as it may deem needful, fixing the wages to be paid, the hours of work, the rules for work, and the working and living conditions. The provisions in aid of the enforcement of this system are both comprehensive and detailed. The employer is prohibited, among other things, from limiting or ceasing operations with a view to defeating the purpose of the statute. Likewise, every association of persons (e. g., trade unions) is prohibited from acting to that end. In effect, strikes and lockouts, the boycott and picketing, are made unlawful. Any person violating any provision of the statute, or any order of the so-called court, is declared guilty of a misdemeanor. Some of the provisions of the act were considered in Howat v. Kansas, 258 U.S. 181 , 42 Sup. Ct. 277, and in Charles Wolff Packing Co. v. Court of Industrial Relations, 262 U.S. 522 , 43 Sup. Ct. 630
Section 19 provides that any officer of a union of workmen engaged in an industry within the provisions of the act, who shall willfully use the power incident to his official position to influence any other person to violate any provision of the statute or any valid order of the Court of [264 U.S. 286, 289] Industrial Relations, shall be deemed guilty of a felony punishable by a fine not to exceed $5,000, or by imprisonment at hard labor, not to exceed two years, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Under this section an information was filed against Dorchy, a union official, for calling a strike in a coal mine. He was found guilty. The judgment entered was affirmed by the highest court of the state, 112 Kan. 235, 210 Pac. 352; and a rehearing was denied. The case is here on writ of error under section 237 of the Judicial Code as amended (Comp. St. Ann. Supp. 1923, 1214). It is contended that section 19 is void, because it prohibits strikes; and that to do so is a denial of the liberty guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment.
After the judgment under review was entered in the Supreme Court of Kansas, this Court declared, in the Wolff Packing Co. Case, supra, p. 544, that the system of compulsory arbitration as applied to packing plants violates the federal Constitution. For the reasons there set forth, it is unconstitutional, also, as applied to the coal mines of that state. The question suggests itself whether section 19 has not, therefore, necessarily fallen as a part of the system of compulsory arbitration. If so, there is no occasion to consider the specific objection to the provisions of that section. This Court has power not only to correct errors in the judgment entered below, but, in the exercise of its appellate jurisdiction, to make such disposition of the case as justice may now require. Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Ry. Co. v. Dennis, 224 U.S. 503, 506 , 32 S. Sup. Ct. 542. In determining what justice requires the Court must consider changes in law and in fact which have supervened since the judgment was entered below. Watts, Watts & Co. v. Unione Austriaca di Navigazione, 248 U.S. 9, 21 , 39 S. Sup. Ct. 1, 3 A. L. R. 323. If section 19 falls as the result of the decision in the Wolff Packing Co. Case, the effect is the same as if the section had been repealed without any reservation.
A statute bad in part is not necessarily void in its entirety. Provisions within the legislative power may stand [264 U.S. 286, 290] if separable from the bad. Berea College v. Kentucky, 211 U.S. 45 , 54-56, 29 Sup. Ct. 33; Carey v. South Dakota, 250 U.S. 118, 121 , 39 S. Sup. Ct. 403. But a provision, inherently unobjectionable, cannot be deemed separable unless it appears both that, standing alone, legal effect can be given to it and that the legislature intended the provision to stand, in case others included in the act and held bad should fall. Section 19 does not, in terms, prohibit the calling of strikes or influencing workingmen to strike. It merely declares that one who uses his offcial position, or his position as an employer, to 'influence, impel, or compel any other person to violate any of the provisions of this act, or any valid order of said Court of Industrial Relations, shall be deemed guilty of a felony.' Most of the provisions of the original act are very intimately connected with the system of compulsory arbitration. Whether section 19 is so interwoven with the system held invalid that the section cannot stand alone, is a question of interpretation and of legislative intent. Compare Butts v. Merchants Transportation Co., 230 U.S. 126 , 33 Sup. Ct. 964. Section 28 of the act,2 (which resembles that discussed in Hill v. Wallace, 259 U.S. 44, 70 , 71 S., 42 Sup. Ct. 453) provides a rule of construction which may sometimes aid in determining that intent. But it is an aid merely; not an inexorable command.
The task of determining the intention of the state legislature in this respect, like the usual function of interpreting a state statute, rests primarily upon the state court. Its decision as to the severability of a provision is conclusive upon this Court. Gatewood v. North Carolina, 203 U.S. 531, 543 , 27 S. Sup. Ct. 167; Guinn v. United States, 238 U.S. 347, 366 , 35 S. Sup. Ct. 926, L. R. A. 1916A, 1124; [264 U.S. 286, 291] Schneider Granite Co. v. Gast Realty Co., 245 U.S. 288, 290 , 38 S. Sup. Ct. 125. In cases coming from the lower federal courts, such questions of severability, if there is no controlling state decision, must be determined by this Court. Compare Myers v. Anderson, 238 U.S. 368, 381 , 35 S. Sup. Ct. 932; Louisville & Nashville R. R. Co. v. Garrett, 231 U.S. 298, 311 , 34 S. Sup. Ct. 48. In cases coming from the state courts, this Court, in the absence of a controlling state decision, may, in passing upon the claim under the federal law, decide, also, the question of severability. But it is not obliged to do so. The situation may be such as to make it appropriate to leave the determination of the question to the state court. We think that course should be followed in this case.
The Supreme Court of Kansas has already dealt, to some extent, with the effect of our decision upon other sections of the act. When a motion was made there in the Wolff Packing Co. Case to spread the mandate of this Court upon its record, the state court held that the order of the Court of Industrial Relations under review remains in force in so far as it regulates hours of labor and weekly rest periods. 114 Kan. 304, 219 Pac. 259. The judgment then entered was modified November 10, 1923, upon a rehearing. 3 The relation of section 19 to the provisions held invalid is a different matter. So far as appears, the state court has not passed upon the question whether section 19, being an intimate part of the system of compulsory arbitration held to be invalid, falls with it. In order that the state court may pass upon this question, its judgment in this case, which was rendered before our decision in the Wolff Packing Co. Case, should be vacated. Compare Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Ry. v. Dennis, supra, p. 509 (32 Sup. Ct. 542). To this end the judgment is
[ Footnote 1 ] Section 2 of the statute, as enacted, conferred upon the Court of Industrial Relations the functions theretofore performed by the Public Utilities Commission. These functions were restored to a Public Utilities Commission by chapter 260, Laws of 1921. There was conferred upon the Court of Industrial Relations by chapter 262 of the Laws of 1921 the functions theretofore performed by the Commissioner of Labor and Industry, and by chapter 263 of the Laws of 1921 the functions theretofore performed by the Industrial Welfare Commission. These latter powers were also enlarged.
[ Footnote 2 ] Section 28: 'If any section or provision of this act shall be found invalid by any court, it shall be conclusively presumed that this act would have been passed by the legislature without such invalid section or provision, and the act as a whole shall not be declared invalid by reason of the fact that one or more sections or provisions may be found to be invalid by any court.'
[ Footnote 3 ] The action of the state court has been brought here for review by proceedings entered February 16, 1924, and not yet disposed of.

Phosphorus is a nutrient required by all organisms for the basic processes of life. Phosphorus is a natural element found in rocks, soils and organic material. Phosphorus clings tightly to soil particles and is used by plants, so its concentrations in clean waters is generally very low. However, phosphorus is used extensively in fertilizer and other chemicals, so it can be found in higher concentrations in areas of human activity. Many seemingly harmless activities added together can cause phosphorus overloads.
Phosphorus exists in water in either a particulate phase or a dissolved phase. Particulate matter includes living and dead plankton, precipitates of phosphorus, phosphorus adsorbed to particulates, and amorphous phosphorus. The dissolved phase includes inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphorus. Phosphorus in natural waters is usually found in the form of phosphates (PO4-3). Phosphates can be in inorganic form (including orthophosphates and polyphosphates), or organic form (organically-bound phosphates).Organic phosphate is phosphate that is bound to plant or animal tissue. Organic phosphates are formed primarily by biological processes. They are contributed to sewage by body waste and food residues, and also may be formed from orthophosphates in biological treatment processes or by receiving water biota. Organic phosphates may occur as a result of the breakdown of organic pesticides which contain phosphates. They may exist in solution, as loose fragments, or in the bodies of aquatic organisms.
Inorganic phosphate is phosphate that is not associated with organic material. Types of inorganic phosphate include orthophosphate and polyphosphates. Orthophosphate is sometimes referred to as "reactive phosphorus." Orthophosphate is the most stable kind of phosphate, and is the form used by plants. Orthophosphate is produced by natural processes and is found in sewage. Polyphosphates (also known as metaphosphates or condensed phosphates) are strong complexing agents for some metal ions. Polyphosphates are used for treating boiler waters and in detergents. In water, polyphosphates are unstable and will eventually convert to orthophosphate.
Phosphates are not toxic to people or animals unless they are present in very high levels. Digestive problems could occur from extremely high levels of phosphate.
In freshwater lakes and rivers, phosphorus is often found to be the growth-limiting nutrient, because it occurs in the least amount relative to the needs of plants. If excessive amounts of phosphorus and nitrogen are added to the water, algae and aquatic plants can be produced in large quantities. When these algae die, bacteria decompose them, and use up oxygen. This process is called eutrophication. Dissolved oxygen concentrations can drop too low for fish to breathe, leading to fish kills. The loss of oxygen in the bottom waters can free phosphorus previously trapped in the sediments, further increasing the available phosphorus.
Measurement of Phosphorus
There are several forms of phosphorus which can be measured. Total phosphorus (TP) is a measure of all the forms of phosphorus, dissolved or particulate, that are found in a sample. Soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) is a measure of orthophosphate, the filterable (soluble, inorganic) fraction of phosphorus, the form directly taken up by plant cells.
Both phosphorus and orthophosphate are often measured using a colorimetric method, which means the color of treated sample reflects the concentration of the parameter. If total phosphorus is being measured, all forms of phosphorus are converted to dissolved orthophosphate with acid, persulfate, and heat. A chemical is then added to the water sample. The darker the color of the sample becomes, the more phosphorus present. This test can be done visually, comparing the treated sample to a set of reference colors. However, it is more accurate to use an electronic colorimeter, which uses a light source and a photodetector to find the concentration based on how much light is absorbed by the sample.
Factors Affecting Phosphorus Concentrations
Wastewater and Septic System Effluent
Domestic and industrial sewage are very important sources of phosphorus to surface water. Organic phosphates are formed primarily by biological processes. They are contributed to sewage by body waste and food residues. Phosphorus is essential in metabolism so is always present in animal waste. Orthophosphates and polyphosphates can be contributed by detergents, as discussed below.
Orthophosphates and certain polyphosphates are major constituents of many commercial cleaning preparations. In the 1950s and 1960s, sodium phosphate was used often as a "builder" in households detergent to increase cleaning power. The extensive use of detergents led to major eutrophication problems, and in the 1960s efforts were made by governments, detergent manufacturers, and consumers to reduce the use of phosphates in detergents. As a result, phosphorus concentrations in many streams and lakes decreased. This was due to limits on the phosphate content of detergent, and also additional treatment used in waste water treatment plants to remove phosphorus. Many states have a ban on phosphates in detergents.
FertilizersFertilizers generally contain phosphorus in the form of orthophosphate. Phosphate is not very mobile in soil; it tends to remain attached to solid particles rather than dissolving in water. However, if too much fertilizer is applied, the phosphates are carried into surface waters with storm runoff and also with melting snow. Soil erosion of fertilized fields and lawns can also carry a considerable amount of particulate phosphate to streams.
Animal Waste
Phosphorus is essential in metabolism, so is present in animal waste. Therefore, phosphate runoff can be an issue in waters near cattle feedlots, hog farms, dairies, and barnyards.
Development/Paved Surfaces
Development can cause soil erosion, which will release phosphorus. If swamps and wetlands are drained for development, phosphorus that was buried can be exposed. During the building phase, and after everything has stabilized, phosphorus concentrations in stormwater can increase because natural filters such as trees, shrubs, and puddles have been eliminated.
Industrial Discharge
Polyphosphates are often added to water to prevent iron oxides or calcium carbonates from forming. If this water is released to streams or lakes, polyphosphates can enter the water body, and will convert to orthophosphate.
Phosphate Mining
Phosphate mining, concentrating, and processing are sources of phosphate to rivers in some areas. The most common phosphorus-containing mineral is apatite (Ca5F(PO4)3). There are no significant sources of phosphate minerals in the Boulder Creek Watershed, so this is not a problem in our area.
Drinking Water Treatment
Small amounts of orthophosphates or certain polyphosphates are added to some water supplies during treatment.
Forest Fires
Forest fires can cause soil erosion, which will release phosphorus bound to soil particles.
Synthetic Materials
Organophosphates are commonly used as construction materials, flame retardant and plasticizers.
Reduced forms of phosphorus are present in certain synthetic organic chemicals, including some that are used in insecticides.
Water Quality Standards and Other Criteria Regarding Phosphorus
No national or state criteria have been established for concentrations of phosphorus compounds in water. However, to control eutrophication, the EPA makes the following recommendations: total phosphate should not exceed 0.05 mg/L (as phosphorus) in a stream at a point where it enters a lake or reservoir, and should not exceed 0.1 mg/L in streams that do not discharge directly into lakes or reservoirs (Muller and Helsel, 1999).
Phosphate levels greater than 1.0 mg/L may interfere with coagulation in water treatment plants. As a result, organic particles that harbor microorganisms may not be completely removed before distribution.
Other Information about Phosphorus
For more information on nutrients in water, see http://water.usgs.gov/nawqa/circ-1136.html.
Eutrophicationis a process that results from accumulation of nutrients in lakes or other water bodies. Eutrophication is a natural process, but can be greatly accelerated by human activities that increase the rate at which nutrients enter the water.
Algae growth is limited by the available supply of phosphorus or nitrogen, so if excessive amounts of these nutrients are added to the water, algae and aquatic plants can grow in large quantities. When these algae die, they are decomposed by bacteria, which use dissolved oxygen. This process is called "eutrophication." Dissolved oxygen concentrations can drop too low for fish to breathe, leading to fish kills. Excessive amounts of algae grow into scum on the water surface, decreasing recreational value and clogging water-intake pipes. Rapid decomposition of dense algae scums with associated organisms can give rise to foul odors.
In freshwater lakes and rivers, phosphorus is often the growth limiting nutrient, because it occurs in the least amount relative to the needs of plants. In estuaries and coastal waters, nitrogen is generally the growth limiting nutrient.
"Eutrophic" waters arecharacterized by high nutrient concentrations, resulting in high productivity of plant growth. Such waters are often shallow, with algal blooms and periods of oxygen deficiency. Slightly or moderately eutrophic water can support a complex web of plant and animal life. However, such waters are generally undesirable for drinking water and other needs. Waters with extreme nutrient concentrations are called "hypereutrophic."
"Oligotrophic" waters are characterized by extremely low nutrient concentrations, resulting in moderate plant productivity. Oligotrophic lakes are those low in nutrient materials and consequently poor areas for the development of extensive aquatic plants and animals. Such lakes are often deep, with sandy bottoms and very limited plant growth, but with high dissolved-oxygen levels.
Some scientists have categorized trophic status according to phosphorus concentration. Lakes with phosphorus concentrations below 0.010 mg/L are classified as oligotrophic, phosphorus concentrations between 0.010 and 0.020 mg/L are indicative of mesotrophic lakes, and eutrophic lakes have phosphorus concentrations exceeding 0.020 mg/L (Muller and Helsel, 1999).

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — When the puck drops at the Sochi Games, friends will become foes.
The Czechs will face the Swedes on Wednesday, just four days after Boston beat Ottawa 7-2 in one of the NHL's last matchups before its Olympic break.
David Krejci and Loui Eriksson both had two assists for the Bruins in the rout. On Wednesday, the forwards will be playing against each other and for their countries — Krejci for the Czech Republic and Eriksson for Sweden.
Most of the 18 preliminary-round games will feature NHL teammates as temporary opponents.
Chicago Blackhawks stars Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews are not scheduled to face each other in the preliminary rounds, but both are hoping for a U.S.-Canada rematch in the elimination round.
"We're always, in a fun way, competing against each other on a daily basis," said Toews, who helped the Canadians beat the Americans for the gold in 2010. "We'll be competitive if we get a chance to play each other.
"One guy is not going to want the other to get the best of him."
The Los Angeles Kings have six Olympians, representing four countries. Trash-talking began soon after the rosters were set last month.
"Throughout the room with the different teams, there's always been ribbing going on," Canada's Jeff Carter said.
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville has an NHL-high 10 of his players in the Olympics, spread out over five teams. He's looking forward to the game within the games.
Quenneville can see a trio of Swedes — Niklas Hjalmarsson, Johnny Oduya and Marcus Kruger — gang up on the Czech Republic's Michal Rozsival on Wednesday. The next day, he can watch Kane get tested by Slovakia's Marian Hossa and Michal Handzus.
"It's going to be great watching these guys play," Quenneville said. "I think they're going to learn a lot being on that stage, in critical situations and big moments.
"There's a good chance somebody's going to come back with a gold medal."
Sidney Crosby scored the gold-medal winning goal in overtime at the Vancouver Games. There's a chance he might have to beat Pittsburgh Penguins teammates to repeat when the tournament becomes a win-or-go-home format.
Before the elimination games, Crosby will be on the ice against two Penguins, Finland's Olli Maatta and Jussi Jokinen, in the final preliminary-round game on Sunday. Sid the Kid might move on to see more familar faces such as Evgeni Malkin if Canada faces the Russians, and Paul Martin and Brooks Orpik if it goes against the Americans again.
"It's always a little weird," Crosby acknowledged. "But once you get out there, you'll know it's the same game. You've got to go out there and play the same way."
Sochi marks the fifth time the NHL has halted its games for two weeks to allow players to participate in the Olympics.
"It's two weeks of your life to give it your all for your country," Kane said. "It's not Chicago playing against Philadelphia or Detroit. All those cities are rooting for you when you're over there. To have 300 million people have your back and cheering for you to win for the gold medal, it's pretty amazing to think about.
"You feel fortunate to play in an arena in Chicago with 22,000 people and that seems like a lot every night. But to know you'll have support of so many more people from so many different cities is amazing."

Late blog post today due to the longer age related recovery period after a night like that...
Ruth and I went shopping yesterday morning and I picked up a 16 lb prime rib roast. On sale for $4.88 a pound! My plan was to cut it up into steaks and feed a group of ten hungry guys.
Said goodbye to Ruth and headed in to pick up one of my friends at Ottawa airport. From there, about an hours drive to Cornwall where we did some more shopping for dinner. And then, to "the cottage" where we met the owner and he showed us around.
Nice place, but for $1,800 a weekend I expected it to be bigger. It was originally just a three bedroom bungalow that has been added to over the years, including a huge indoor swimming pool and hot tub. The basement has also been fully renovated to include another three bedrooms and a pool table. Fun place for a bunch of guys to get together and pretend they're 25 years old again. Divided by the ten of us, the price sounds a little more realistic.


text: Giving Rescues Reasons to be Thankful 23 November 2016 Dr-Jane How We Give Back (5) A time of fellowship and enduring affections, this year's holiday season has finally arrived. For many Americans, the chance to value and support friends, family and community offers a welcome change of pace, given a fractious election year. Many of us are already throwing ourselves headlong into preparations to spend quality time with family and friends. And while we may be fully invested in our immediate and upcoming holiday plans, this time of year finds us considering the plights of others … it is the season of giving and thanks, after all! I'm so grateful to have helped establish a company that does so much to promote the welfare and health of companion animals. As I'm fond of saying, we're a small company with a great big heart. Helping companion animals to lead healthier, longer and happier lives is not just an important company commitment … it's our personal mission. I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of our non-profit's essential work. The Dr. Jane Foundation provides funding to an incredibly diverse array of small and medium-size animal rescue groups. Regardless of geography, all of these groups are united in common cause … doing whatever it takes to save neglected, abused and homeless animals. Over the last 10 years, it's been my great honor to discover the hundreds of rescue organizations who invest so much time, energy and passion into forging a brighter future for these helpless creatures. Along with my fellow Board Directors, I have witnessed the amazing resilience of companion animals who have suffered any manner of trauma. Their journeys of healing and hope inspire us to do more for the legions of volunteers, foster parents and veterinarians who work so hard every single day. Best of all, every time you purchase Life's Abundance products, a small donation is made in honor of these groups. Simply by shopping with us, every one of our loyal customers helps to support the cause of animal rescue. So, while you're actively working towards wellness for yourself, your family and your companion animals, know that you're also giving a helping hand to the people who have dedicated their lives to making life better for homeless animals. It seems only right this holiday season to share news of our most recent round of funding. And, seeing as how this IS Thanksgiving, I'd like to personally thank the following seven rescue groups, each of whom received financial backing from our non-profit. Please note that most, if not all, of the dogs depicted in the following photos are available for adoption. New Kent Humane Society Founded in 2009, this small-town animal rescue works to reduce the growing number of homeless animals. Run entirely by a dedicated team of volunteers, they strive to liberate dogs and cats from the county pound. Their greatest wish is "to reduce the number of animals being euthanized locally". Thanks to their tireless advocacy and a budding network of foster homes, more and more dogs and cats are finding forever homes. In addition to their adoption efforts, this group is also committed to helping lost pet kids be reunited with their families. We support the superheroes of this small community who strive to improve quality of life for so many, especially those who do not have a voice. To learn more, visit www.newkenthumane.org. D.R.E.A.M. Dachshund Rescue Serving Atlanta, North Georgia and the Savannah area, this breed-specific rescue is 100% volunteer operated. All of their dogs are temporarily homed in foster care, affording every volunteer ample opportunity to really get to know each foster pup. This hands-on approach can make a huge difference when it comes to matching their personalities with prospective adopters, as it helps to guarantee successful outcomes when their Dachshunds are ultimately placed in their forever homes. To learn more, visit www.dreamrescue.org. Greyhound Pets of Greater Orlando Originally founded in 1996 as a chapter of the National Greyhound Pets of America, this Orlando-based non-profit has two main goals: to locate loving homes for ex-racing Greyhounds and to educate the public on the merits of adopting this breed. Unlike most of our grant recipients this quarter, this group operates a physical facility, where right now nearly 50 of these elegant creatures are awaiting placement in their forever homes. Another fully volunteer enterprise, this group is proud that all donations go directly to the care of their rescued Greyhounds. The depth of their connection to the breed is evident in their commitment to never turn away a Greyhound due to injury, illness or old age. To learn more, visit www.greyhoundpetsorlando.org. Southeast German Shepherd Rescue Founded in 2010 to save German Shepherd Dogs from abuse, abandonment and high-kill shelters, this non-profit organization owes its existence to the compassion and dedication of its volunteers. Their efforts to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome this noble breed take place primarily in North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland, but they provide assistance to rescue efforts throughout the Southeast. Everyone in the organization volunteers their service, doing their utmost to identify and place these social, intelligent and agile creatures in loving homes where they can thrive as loving and loyal family members. To learn more, visit www.southeastgermanshepherdrescue.com. Lovebugs Rescue This non-profit was founded by Heather Peterson in honor of Kaya, a special-needs Chihuahua who was rescued from a high-kill shelter. Located in Southern California, this foster-based rescue has made remarkable progress building relationships with overcrowded animal shelters in the area. Taking homeless pups into foster care not only saves their lives, it undercuts the reliance on euthanasia by other shelters as an acceptable response to overpopulation. Leading by example, their hope is to educate people about the gravity of the issue and how easy it is to make a difference that benefits everyone involved. To learn more, visit www.lovebugsrescue.org. Southwest Metro Animal Rescue & Adoption Society Based in Chaska, MN, this all-volunteer organization has more than 35 years of combined experience in the animal rescue field. One of a growing number of shelter-free charitable groups, this foster home-based organization commits serious time and energy into rescuing abandoned, abused and stray domestic animals. They are passionate about their work, and their mission of caring is clearly born out in the good works they accomplish every day. They have seen firsthand how the bond humans and companion animals share is strengthened through education, whether it's on humane treatment, the vital need for spay/neuter programs or the legal protections afforded animals. To learn more, visit www.swmetroanimalrescue.org. Southern California German Shepherd Rescue Founded in August 2006, this amazingly dedicated team of volunteers rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes pet kids all across Southern California. Additionally, they provide veterinary care and spay/neuter surgeries. In the last decade, they have successfully located forever homes for over 900 companion animals. Despite what you might think based on their name, this foster-based rescue saves not just German Shepherd Dogs, but also Great Danes, Poodles, mixed breeds ... even a few cats! To learn more, visit http://socalrescue.org. Including these awards, The Dr. Jane Foundation has awarded grants totaling nearly $24,000 to 18 worthwhile rescues this year! Soon we will reveal more details about what these non-profits are able to accomplish with our funding. But for now, we extend our hearty, holiday congratulations to all of these groups for their remarkable efforts to make the world a better place for companion animals! Are you involved in an animal rescue, or know someone who is? We are currently accepting applications for 2017 funding. Our Board will be considering applications for the next round of funding in January, so try to have completed grant requests submitted by the end of the year to ensure your group's consideration. This holiday season, any contribution you make will help to ensure that deserving groups like these continue to receive much-needed financial support. We will be thrilled to receive your donation, in any amount. For all of you who have already supported our non-profit, we can't thank you enough. Thanks to your personal donations and continued patronage, we are taking real steps to help animal rescue groups across America. With your help, we're making a positive difference in the world, one animal at a time. Wishing you the very best this holiday season, and always! Dr. Jane Bicks Giving Rescues Reasons to be Thankful A time of fellowship and enduring affections, this year's holiday season has come. Helping companion animals to lead healthier, longer and happier lives is not just an important company commitment … it's our personal mission. Tweet

A simmering feud between Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama erupted into charges of distortion and exaggeration in a gloves-off presidential debate Monday, with Clinton accusing him of representing a Chicago slumlord and Obama countering that she was a corporate lawyer for anti-union Wal-Mart.
Even in the superheated atmosphere of their fight for the party's nomination, the statements and exchanges between Clinton and Obama were unusually acrimonious and personal. The debate came as the two campaigns continued to complain about dirty politics and disenfranchisement of voters in last Saturday's Nevada caucuses.
As Obama tried to defend his recent comments about Republican ideas and Ronald Reagan, Clinton interrupted and said she has never criticized his remarks on Reagan.
"Your husband did," said Obama, who has accused the former president of misrepresenting his record.
"I'm here. He's not," she snapped.
"Well, I can't tell who I'm running against sometimes," Obama said.
He persisted, suggesting the Clintons were both practicing the kind of political tactics that had alienated voters.
"There was a set of assertions made by Senator Clinton as well as her husband that are not factually accurate," Obama said. "I think that part of what people are looking for right now is someone who is going to solve problems and not resort to the same typical politics that we've seen in Washington."
Clinton countered: "I believe your record and what you say should matter."
Edwards fighting for his life
John Edwards, who badly trails his two rivals, tried to stay above the fray while pleading for equal time.
"Are there three people in this debate, not two?" he asked.
"We have got to understand, this is not about us personally. It's about what we are trying to do for this country," Edwards said to applause from the audience.
The bitter exchange underscored the closeness of the race for the party nod. Obama captured the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 3, Clinton bounced back with a win in New Hampshire and the two shared the spoils in Nevada. The first-in-the-South primary on Saturday in South Carolina is expected to produce a strong turnout from black voters, who could make up more than 50 percent of the Democratic electorate.
In two weeks, some two dozen states, including California, New York and Illinois, will vote on the nominee.
Rivals take swing at other's resumé
One of the rancorous exchanges came over whether Obama had praised Republican ideals and Reagan. Obama argued that he had not complimented GOP ideas and his comments had been misconstrued.
"What I said was is that Ronald Reagan was a transformative political figure because he was able to get Democrats to vote against their economic interests to form a majority to push through their agenda, an agenda that I objected to. Because while I was working on those streets watching those folks see their jobs shift overseas, you were a corporate lawyer sitting on the board at Wal-Mart," he told Clinton.
She countered that Obama's comments indicated the GOP ideas were worthy. Clinton said she had been challenging them "when you were practicing law and representing your contributor, Rezko, in his slum landlord business in inner city Chicago."
Hillary Clinton, who was close with the Walton family, served on the Wal-Mart board from 1986 to 1992. In 2006, her Senate campaign returned $5,000 to the company's political action committee while citing differences with company policies.
A blind trust held by Clinton and her husband, the former president, included stock holdings in Wal-Mart. They liquidated the contents of the blind trust in 2007 because of investments that could pose conflicts of interest or prove embarrassing as she ran for president.
Chicago real estate developer and fast food magnate Antoin "Tony" Rezko was a longtime fundraiser for Obama. Prosecutors have charged him with fraud, attempted extortion and money laundering in what they allege was a scheme to get campaign money and payoffs from firms seeking to do business before two state boards.
Obama challenged over 'present' votes
Obama's campaign said Saturday it was giving to charities more than $40,000 from donors linked to Rezko. In 2006, when charges against Rezko were made public, Obama gave $11,500 in Rezko contributions to charities.
Often speaking over each other, Obama and Clinton bitterly complained about each other's legislative records. Obama questioned why the New York senator had voted for a bankruptcy bill that she later said she was glad hadn't passed, and Clinton criticized Obama for voting "present" on dozens of occasions while a member of the Illinois legislature.
"Senator Obama, it's hard to have a straight up debate with you because you never take responsibility for any vote," Clinton said to loud boos. "On issue after issue, you voted present ... Whenever someone raises that, there's always some sort of explanation."
Obama accused Clinton of playing loose with the facts and saying anything to get elected, while Edwards joined Clinton in criticizing Obama for the "present" votes.
"Why would you over 100 times vote present?" Edwards pointedly challenged Obama. He said he didn't simply refuse to vote on controversial bills in Congress. "It would have been safe for me politically ... but I have a responsibility to take a position even if it costs me politically."
Racial issues a backdrop
Obama said most of his present votes didn't have political consequences but were because of technical or legal concerns.
"Don't question, John, that on issue after issue that is important to the American people, I haven't followed. I have led," Obama said.
With the holiday honoring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., as a backdrop, the candidates also addressed questions of racial equality.
Clinton and Edwards compared their records on helping to alleviate poverty, while Obama was asked if he agreed with the famed black novelist Toni Morrison who dubbed Bill Clinton "the first black president."
Obama praised the former president's "affinity" with black people but also drew laughs.
"I would have to investigate more, Bill's dancing abilities and some of this other stuff before I accurately judged whether he was, in fact, a brother," Obama said.
"I'm sure that can be arranged," Clinton joked.
The two-hour debate was sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus Institute and CNN.

Document:The forbidden truth is an insurrection in Britain
|An alternative perspective on the UK London Riots from an author unafraid to make the obvious connection between the England riots and the rampant culture of corruption and greed in the UK Establishment.

Damn it or fear it, the forbidden truth is an insurrection in Britain
On a warm spring day, strolling in south London, I heard demanding voices behind me. A police van disgorged a posse of six or more, who waved me aside. They surrounded a young black man who, like me, was ambling along. They appropriated him; they rifled his pockets, looked in his shoes, inspected his teeth. Their thuggery affirmed, they let him go with the barked warning there would be a next time.
For the young at the bottom of the pyramid of wealth and patronage and poverty that is modern Britain, mostly the black, the marginalised and resentful, the envious and hopeless, there is never surprise. Their relationship with authority is integral to their obsolescence as young adults. Half of all black British youth between the ages of 18 and 24 are unemployed, the result of deliberate policies since Margaret Thatcher oversaw the greatest transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top in British history. Forget plasma TVs, this was panoramic looting.
Such is the truth of David Cameron's "sick society", notably its sickest, most criminal, most feral "pocket": the square mile of the City of London where, with political approval, the banks and super-rich have trashed the British economy and the lives of millions. This is fast becoming unmentionable as we succumb to propaganda once described by the American black leader Malcolm X thus: "If you're not careful the newspapers will have you hating the oppressed and loving the people doing the oppressing."
As they lined up to bay their class bigotry and hypocrisy in parliament, barely a handful of MPs spoke this truth. Heirs to Edmund Burke's 18th century rants against the "mob rule" of a "swinish multitude", not one referred to previous rebellions in Brixton, Tottenham and Liverpool in the 1980s when Lord Scarman reported that "complex political, social and economic factors" had caused a "disposition towards violent protest" and recommended urgent remedial action. Instead, Labour and Liberal bravehearts called for water cannon and everything draconian: among them the Labour MP Hazel Blears. Remember her notorious expenses? None made the obvious connection between the greatest inequality since records were kept, a police force that routinely abuses a section of the population and kills with impunity and a permanent state of colonial warfare with an arms trade to match: the apogee of violence.
It hardly seemed coincidental that on the day before Cameron raged against "phony human rights", NATO aircraft - which include British bombers sent by him - killed a reported 85 civilians in a peaceful Libyan town. These were people in their homes, children in their schools. Watch the BBC's man on the spot trying his best to dispute the evidence of his eyes, just as the political and media class sought to discredit the evidence of a civilian bloodbath in Iraq as epic as the Rwanda genocide. Who are the criminals? This is not in any way to excuse the violence of the rioters, many of whom were opportunistic, mean, cruel, nihilistic and often vicious in their glee: an authentic reflection of a system of greed and self-interest to which scores of parasitic money-movers, "entrepreneurs", Murdochites, corrupt MPs and bent coppers have devoted themselves.
On 4 August, the BBC's Fiona Armstrong - aka Lady MacGregor of MacGregor - interviewed the writer Darcus Howe, who dared use the forbidden word, "insurrection".
- Armstrong: "Mr. Howe, you say you are not shocked [by the riots]? Does this mean you condone what happened?"
- Howe: "Of course not ... what I am concerned about is a young man Mark Duggan ... the police blew his head off."
- Armstrong: "Mr. Howe, we have to wait for the official enquiry to say things like that. We don't know what happened to Mr. Duggan. We have to wait for the police report."
On 8 August, the Independent Police Complaints Commission acknowledged there was "no evidence" that Duggan had fired a shot at police. Duggan was shot in the face on 4 August by a police officer with a Heckler and Koch MP5 sub-machine gun - the same weapon supplied by Britain to dictatorships that use them against their own people. I saw the result in East Timor where Indonesian troops also blew the heads off people with these state-of-the-art weapons supplied by both Tory and Labour governments.
An eyewitness to Duggan's killing told the Evening Standard, "About three or four police officers had [him] pinned on the ground at gunpoint. They were really big guns and then I heard four loud shots. The police shot him on the floor."
This is how the Metropolitan Police shot dead Jean Charles de Menezes on the floor of a London Underground train. And there was Robert Stanley and Ian Tomlinson, and many more. The police lied about Duggan's killing as they have lied about the others. Since 1998, more than 330 people have died in police custody and not one officer has been convicted. Where is the political and media outrage about this "culture of fear"? "Funny, too," noted the journalist Melanie MacFadyean, "that the police did nothing while some serious looting went on - surely not because they wanted everyone to see that cutting the police force meant more crime?"
Still, the brooms have arrived. In an age of public relations as news, the clean-up campaign, however well-meant by many people, can also serve the government's and media goal of sweeping inequality and hopelessness under gentrified carpets, with cheery volunteers armed with their brand new brooms and pointedly described as "Londoners" as if the rest are aliens. The otherwise absent Boris Johnson waved his new broom. Another Etonian, the former PR man to an asset stripper and current prime minister up to his neck in Hackgate, would surely approve.

Facebook recently launched a new question-and-answer feature that helps supply answers to important questions such as "Where's the best burger in New York City?" or "Which smartphone do you use?" The new feature lets you ask questions of your friends, set up a poll with a limited number of responses, and follow interesting questions asked by others. Questions is now rolling out to all users, but if you want to get started right away you can activate Facebook Questions here.

Just keep in mind that even though Questions may not show up on your publicly available profile, the feature is never private.
Answering Questions
When you see a question in your News Feed that you want to answer, clicking on the question will cause a window to pop up. You can then choose to select a specific answer or simply write a response as if you were responding to a status update.
By default, the response window will also show you how your friends answered the question. But you can also see how everyone else on Facebook answered the question by clicking on the "Others" link at the bottom of the window. To see responses to poll questions, click on the small window with three dots next to each answer. This will show you the answers of people who aren't your Facebook friends.
Again, Facebook Questions is not a private feature, so all actions you take using this service can be seen by others. Do not use Facebook Questions if don't want the world to see your responses.
Follow a Question, Ask Your Friends
If you want to follow a particularly interesting question you can click on the "Follow" link underneath the question. Whenever someone else answers the question you will be alerted.
You do not have to answer a question to follow it. You can also ask specific friends a question created by you or by others by clicking on the "Ask Friends" link underneath each question.
Be Specific
To get the most out of Facebook Questions, it's best to be specific in your questions and not ask something generic such as "Am I A Jerk?" As you can see in the included image, generic questions can get passed around very quickly among people who don't even know you. Then again, asking random things of the whole world could end up being half the fun of Facebook Questions.
If you can't get enough of asking and answering questions you should also check out a popular service among early adopters called Quora.

The day has arrived. And there will be as much excitement as there will be sore backs. But you can take the pain out of moving day by planning ahead. Here are some tips for a smooth move:
- Make a moving checklist that details a plan for things that need to be done weeks before you move all the way up to moving day itself
- Plan for packing by clearly labeling boxes with the rooms they are to go to. You might even want to provide a small floorplan for the movers so they know exactly where to take them
- Make sure you get competitive quotes from reliable moving companies. Or, to save money, find out how much it would cost to hire a moving van yourself (And bribe your friends to help you)
- If you own your current home, cancel your cable and utilities and transfer any rented appliances (like water heater or furnace) to the new home owners. While you're at it, make sure to have the gas, electricity, cable and phone hooked up at your new home
- Inform your key contacts — work, Canada Post, doctors, friends, pharmacy, etc… – of your change of address
- If you have children, make sure you talk to them and explain why you're moving and reassure them that the friends they've made can continue to be their friends. Ask for their opinion too on things like what colour to paint their rooms. Try and make it exciting for them
- On moving day, plan an easy meal like picking up some take-out. Moving is stressful enough without having to cook
Congratulations. You're all moved in. Welcome home!

I am experimenting with the java sound API.
I came across a nice program that has been made to record a stream of audio in computer memory and which is stored as an array of type byte.
The capture portion of the program captures audio data from the microphone and stores it in a ByteArrayOutputStream object.
I am not familiar however with outputing text files in java.
I was wondering how to go about outputing the captured audio samples are stored in a text file once the playback button is pressed.
The source code of the program is at Java Sound, Getting Started, Part 1, Playback — Developer.com
Basically the code on that website saves the recorded data in memory. I would like to add some simple code that adds the recorded sampled audio data consists of a sequence of bytes to a simple text file.
I would then like to use the outputed data to analyse them in excel.
Thus basically i want to have the software to output the sampled data to a text file, preferebly with a fresh like after each output so that i can load them individually in excel.
Input data from a microphone is captured and saved in a ByteArrayOutputStream object when the user clicks the Capture button.
Data capture stops when the user clicks the Stop button.
Playback begins when the user clicks the Playback button.
The most relevant code is this
//This method captures audio input // from a microphone and saves it in // a ByteArrayOutputStream object. private void captureAudio(){ try{ //Get everything set up for // capture audioFormat = getAudioFormat(); DataLine.Info dataLineInfo = new DataLine.Info( TargetDataLine.class, audioFormat); targetDataLine = (TargetDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine( dataLineInfo); targetDataLine.open(audioFormat); targetDataLine.start(); //Create a thread to capture the // microphone data and start it // running. It will run until // the Stop button is clicked. Thread captureThread = new Thread( new CaptureThread()); captureThread.start(); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); System.exit(0); }//end catch }//end captureAudio method
Any help?

PORTLAND — Two political newcomers are challenging a longtime city councilor and member of the city's Democratic machine for an at-large seat on the City Council.
The at-large seat is for a four-year term rather than a three-year term – a one-time adjustment to ensure there is an at-large seat at play in each election.
The City Council oversees a $215.5 million municipal budget and sets the bottom line on school spending.
Incumbent Jill Duson is a 59-year-old compliance manager at the Maine Human Rights Commission who has served four terms on the City Council. She ran for the elected mayor position in 2011, placing sixth in a 15-way race.
Her challengers are political newcomers Christopher Shorr and Gregory Smaha, two 30-year-olds who graduated from – and played football together at – Deering High School.
Shorr, a Green Independent who has been endorsed by the Maine League of Young Voters, has a criminal history dating back to 2003, when he was convicted of theft by receiving stolen property and disorderly conduct. He was convicted of operating under the influence in 2005 and disorderly conduct (excessive noise) in 2008.
"I've made plenty of mistakes in my life, but over the last several years I've really tried to grow up and mature and I think I have followed a pretty solid path towards that," said Shorr, who is now a stern man on a Portland lobster boat.
While Shorr says he would bring a fresh voice and new opinions to the council, Smaha believes he is the only candidate who can stake that claim.
Smaha is running as a fiscal conservative associating with the Republican Party in one of the most liberal and reliably Democratic communities in the state. He is the supply chain and expense controller for LIA International in Scarborough, where in the last year, he says, he has identified $1 million in savings without layoffs.
Smaha views everything through an economic lens, and would not look to the fire or police budgets for savings, nor would he support budgets that lay off teachers. Instead, he would look to social services.
For instance, he believes the answer to homelessness is not providing housing or investing in "incestuous" social service programs that breed generational dependency. Instead, the city should be reducing regulations and permitting fees, as well as offering tax incentives to businesses, he said. As businesses grow and prosper, more jobs will be available for those who are able to work.
In the city's budget, he would also look to regional services, such as public works, to find savings, he said.
"We can't give everything to everybody," he said. "The status quo no longer works."
Shorr said he is making advocacy for the homeless and marginalized members of society a focus of his campaign. He wants to change the conversation around the homeless. He found the rhetoric of banning panhandling on street medians unbecoming of the city and an ineffective solution to the problem.
"That attitude – the lack of compassion that clouds our city – it's upsetting to me," Shorr said.
Shorr would like to bring the North American Street Newspaper Association to Portland as a way to help the homeless. The paper is written for and by homeless people and sold by the homeless on street corners. Newspaper sellers keep a percentage of their sales and gain valuable job experience, habits and confidence, he said.
Shorr is critical of giving tax breaks to large corporations. He opposed the sale of a portion of Congress Square Plaza to Ohio-based Rockbridge Capital, which is renovating the former Eastland Hotel and is planning to build an event center on the plaza. He described the sale as a "back-room deal."
Duson, meanwhile, cast a crucial vote to sell the plaza, even though she proclaimed she could have gotten a better deal. She said she respects the process undertaken by the council's Housing and Community Development Committee.
Her opponents both knocked Duson over the plaza sale – Smaha believes she should have held out for a better deal, while Shorr doesn't support the sale of public space.
Duson said holding out for a better deal would have been a bad idea, and pushed back against the suspicion that she would advocate for the sale of additional public spaces, calling the notion "ridiculous."
Duson has supported several efforts that some argue limit free speech. She supported requiring street artists to register at City Hall before selling their work on sidewalks, a buffer zone around an abortion clinic and banning panhandling in street medians.
Duson missed the vote on panhandling, but said she would have supported the ban – reversing her position from a year ago.
Although the ordinance was essentially the same, Duson said she was moved to change her position because "the conversation around it was completely different." She rejected the notion that her opinion changed when public sentiment changed.
"I'm not wishy-washy," she said. "I don't change my mind based on how many people come into the chamber."
Duson said she is interested to see how the fire chief will implement the recommendations for a top-down study of the department.
Other departments – such as health and human services, as well as public services – could benefit from similar reviews conducted by in-house staff, she said.
Education and housing are also issues Duson hopes to focus on, if re-elected.
Shorr supports the city's ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana, but Duson will be voting against the referendum, saying it should be a statewide effort. Both believe the city should respect the will of the voters.
Smaha, however, believes in personal liberties but is undecided about the referendum. The council should stay out of policing, he said.

Government sites, from city to state to federal agencies, are extremely important to Google Search. For one thing, governments have a lot of content—and government websites are often the canonical source of information that's important to citizens. Around 20 percent of Google searches are for local information, and local governments are experts in their communities.
That's why I've spoken at the National Association of Government Webmasters (NAGW) national conference for the past few years. It's always interesting speaking to webmasters about search, but the people running government websites have particular concerns and questions. Since some questions come up frequently I thought I'd share this FAQ for government websites.
Question 1: How do I fix an incorrect phone number or address in search results or Google Maps?
Although managing their agency's site is plenty of work, government webmasters are often called upon to fix problems found elsewhere on the web too. By far the most common question I've taken is about fixing addresses and phone numbers in search results. In this case, government site owners really can do it themselves, by claiming their Google+ Local listing. Incorrect or missing phone numbers, addresses, and other information can be fixed by claiming the listing.
Most locations in Google Maps have a Google+ Local listing—businesses, offices, parks, landmarks, etc. I like to use the San Francisco Main Library as an example: it has contact info, detailed information like the hours they're open, user reviews and fun extras like photos. When we think users are searching for libraries in San Francisco, we may display a map and a listing so they can find the library as quickly as possible.
If you work for a government agency and want to claim a listing, we recommend using a shared Google Account with an email address at your .gov domain if possible. Usually, ownership of the page is confirmed via a phone call or post card.
Question 2: I've claimed the listing for our office, but I have 43 different city parks to claim
in Google Maps, and none of them have phones or mailboxes. How do I claim them?
Use the bulk uploader! If you have 10 or more listings / addresses to claim at the same time, you can upload a specially-formatted spreadsheet. Go to www.google.com/places/, click the "Get started now" button, and then look for the "bulk upload" link.
If you run into any issues, use the Verification Troubleshooter.
Question 3: We're moving from a .gov domain to a new .com domain. How should we move the site?
We have a Help Center article with more details, but the basic process involves the following steps:
- Make sure you have both the old and new domain verified in the same Webmaster Tools account.
Use a
301redirect on all pages to tell search engines your site has moved permanently.
- Don't do a single redirect from all pages to your new home page—this gives a bad user experience.
- If there's no 1:1 match between pages on your old site and your new site (recommended), try to redirect to a new page with similar content.
- If you can't do redirects, consider cross-domain canonical links.
- Make sure to check if the new location is crawlable by Googlebot using the Fetch as Google feature in Webmaster Tools.
- Use the Change of Address tool in Webmaster Tools to notify Google of your site's move.
- Have a look at the Links to Your Site in Webmaster Tools and inform the important sites that link to your content about your new location.
- We recommend not implementing other major changes at the same time, like large-scale content, URL structure, or navigational updates.
- To help Google pick up new URLs faster, use the Fetch as Google tool to ask Google to crawl your new site, and submit a Sitemap listing the URLs on your new site.
- To prevent confusion, it's best to retain control of your old site's domain and keep redirects in place for as long as possible—at least 180 days.
What if you're moving just part of the site? This question came up too—for example, a city might move its "Tourism and Visitor Info" section to its own domain.
In that case, many of the same steps apply: verify both sites in Webmaster Tools, use
301 redirects, clean up old links, etc. In this case you don't need to use the
Change of Address form in Webmaster Tools since only part of your site is moving. If for some
reason you'll have some of the same content on both sites, you may want to include a
cross-domain canonical link
pointing to the preferred domain.
Question 4: We've done a ton of work to create unique titles and descriptions for pages.
How do we get Google to pick them up?
First off, that's great! Better titles and descriptions help users decide to click through to get the information they need on your page. The government webmasters I've spoken with care a lot about the content and organization of their sites, and work hard to provide informative text for users.
Google's generation of page titles and descriptions (or "snippets") is completely automated and takes into account both the content of a page as well as references to it that appear on the web. Changes are picked up as we recrawl your site. But you can do two things to let us know about URLs that have changed:
- Submit an updated XML Sitemap so we know about all of the pages on your site.
- In Webmaster Tools, use the Fetch as Google feature on a URL you've updated. Then you can choose to submit it to the index.
- You can choose to submit all of the linked pages as well—if you've updated an entire section of your site, you might want to submit the main page or an index page for that section to let us know about a broad collection of URLs.
Question 5: How do I get into the YouTube government partner program?
For this question, I have bad news, good news, and then even better news. On the one hand, the government partner program has been discontinued. But don't worry, because most of the features of the program are now available to your regular YouTube account. For example, you can now upload videos longer than 10 minutes.
Did I say I had even better news? YouTube has added a lot of functionality useful for governments in the past year:
- You can now broadcast live streaming video to YouTube via Hangouts On Air (requires a Google+ account).
- You can link your YouTube account with your Webmaster Tools account, making it the "official channel" for your site.
- Automatic captions continue to get better and better, supporting more languages.
I hope this FAQ has been helpful, but I'm sure I haven't covered everything government webmasters want to know. I highly recommend our Webmaster Academy, where you can learn all about making your site search-engine friendly. If you have a specific question, please you can add a question in the comments or visit our really helpful Webmaster Central Forum.

Re-posted from Indian Country Today Media Network, LLC
By ICTMN Staff
For five weeks over the summer, an all Native American crew of Arizona high school students learned about Canyon de Chelly in Tsaile, Arizona.
The National Monument partnered with the Student Conservation Association (SCA)-which helps to restore and protect national parks-to provide the teens job experience and help them feel more connected to the history of the canyon.
Canyon de Chelly National Monument is a unique National Parks Service (NPS) site as it is entirely on Navajo trust land and still sustains a community of Navajo people, "who are connected to a landscape of great historical and spiritual significance," reads the NPS website.
The eight participants of the Native American Crew and three crew leaders-one of whom was non-Native-were chosen from the local community. The crew took on many tasks over the five week program including reseeding disturbed roadsides, repairing hiking trails, restoring the watershed, cultivating farmland, and preparing the foundation for the traditional Navajo Hogan at the park's visitor center.
According to a press release, "one parent remarked that she saw how the students, including her daughter, had grown and matured by their participation in this unique program."
The crew was modeled after the SCA National Conservation Crew, but with special attention paid to Native American history and knowledge of the area.
