LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – Changes are coming to the Lyndon Fire Protection District and it will have a huge impact on how long firefighters take to respond to emergencies.
Beginning July 1, staff reductions will take place and it has sparked serious concerns from residents in Lyndon.
"They have had to cut back on emergency runs and that concerns me cause you never know which one is going to be the real important one," Lyndon resident Anthony Terry said.
Terry isn't the only resident expressing concerns over the fire department's cuts and the impact it will have on service.
"We have all had someone we love and have a medical emergency and how they are gonna know the difference," he said.
Budget constraints forced the fire protection district to make the tough decision to cut the staff by three. It may not sound like much, but in this small area it directly affects firefighters' ability to respond quickly to emergencies.
The cuts take effect next month and already they are making plans for how to handle the changes.
"We are also going to be going to an echo response for EMS which means we will only be responding to the most serious calls. Cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest and significant trauma," Captain Rich Bliven said.
Lyndon has tried a number of ways to cut back over the past year but none of them have worked.
"We tried to lobby legislators in Frankfort to allow us to raise the fire tax cap rate for special districts and that was unsuccessful," Bliven said.
For some residents, they are not concerned. They'd rather take a wait and see approach.
"I think everything is going pretty good," resident Wayne Nay said.
For others, it's a move that could mean the difference between life and death.
"You are going to have someone there to make a decision and if they don't make the run at all how is that gonna be done," Terry said.
Captain Bliven sent a clarification to WHAS11.com shortly after the story aired.
The response time of the Lyndon Fire department will remain at an average of four (4) minutes. The reduction in staffing will have no affect whatsoever on our response time. The point regarding a longer response time that we are trying to make is that, as a result of us reducing the number of EMS call types we will respond to, citizens in the Lyndon district will wait longer for EMS service as Louisville Metro EMS has a much greater average response time than we do. For example; someone who calls 911 with chest pain could wait anywhere from 10-15 minutes (or more) for an ambulance to arrive and provide medical care, where we would have been there in 4 minutes. The reduction in EMS call types we will respond to takes effect July 1, 2013.
We are not closing a firehouse, nor is it an option at this time. We are realizing a small revenue savings in wages by reducing our staff by 3 positions. However, if the budget trend continues, we could consider closing a firehouse. This option is 3-4 years out at this time.
It is important that our residents understand that, while the types of medical responses we respond to will be reduced, our response times will not be diminished for the emergency calls that we continue to respond to.

High-altitude wetlands in western China named for Ramsar List
China names nine new Ramsar sites for World Wetlands Day
The Secretariat is delighted to announce that the Government of the People's Republic of China has designated nine new Wetlands of International Importance, with a surface area of nearly 400,000 hectares. One of them, Shuangtai Estuary on the Liao River in northeastern China, makes up part of what has been called "the world's largest reed bed". The other eight new Ramsar sites are all in Qinghai and Yunnan Provinces and the Tibet Autonomous Region and are all high-altitude marshes and lakes, one as high as 6,500 meters asl, among the headwaters of the Yangtze, Yellow, and Yalu Tsangpo/Brahmaputra Rivers. All of these have very important hydrological functions, both locally and downstream, and all are extremely valuable sites for migratory birds, including the endangered Black-necked Crane Grus nigricollis. Because of the relative isolation of the sites, some of them have high levels of endemism, particularly with fish species, and they are vital sources of livelihood for the populations nearby. These new mountain designations have been made as part of China's efforts in the "Wetland Conservation and Wise Use in the Himalayan High Mountains" initiative and have been assisted by support from WWF China and WWF's Global Freshwater Programme.
Brief descriptions of the nine new sites, drawn from the Ramsar Information Sheets submitted with the designations, have been put together with assistance from Ramsar's Ms Shahzia M. Khan.
Bitahai Wetland. 07/12/04; Yunnan; 1,985 ha; 27º42'N 100º01'E. Provincial Nature Reserve. An alpine wetland between 3,000 and 4,260 meters above sea level, with swamps, lake, peatlands, and adjacent forest cover. The site has very high hydrological values such as flood prevention and control in the key catchment zones of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau; as part of the Jinsha River watershed in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, it supplies water to the aquifers and stabilizes the flow in the lower reaches of the Yangtze. The lake is the home of the endangered endemic fish Ptychobarbus chungtienensis chungtienensis, and the site is situated in the core zone of the Hengduan Mountains Biogeographical Region, one of the three major endemic floral diversity centres in China. The Nature Reserve attracts a large number of tourists every year, to whom the local people provide horse-riding services. Production activities of the surrounding communities are largely husbandry and agriculture, with a majority of cash income generated from collecting and selling Tricholoma matsutake mushroom, raising cows, and selling diary products. Ramsar site No. 1434.
Dashanbao. 07/12/04;Yunnan; 5,958 ha; 27º24'N 103º20'E. National Nature Reserve. A peat moor in subalpine swamp meadows, between 2,210 and 3,364 meters above sea level, with shallow water vegetation such as Poa annua Linn, Geum aleppicum, and Cyperus serotinus. Major hydrological functions include flood control and water recharge to supply ground water to downstream and hillside spring vents. The site supports the highest concentration, representing one fifth of the world population, of Black-necked Crane Grus nigricollis, a globally endangered species, and is important for other migratory waterbirds, e.g. Mergus squamatus, Ciconia nigra, Grus grus, and Cygnus Cygnus, as well. Protection measures include a restoration project to promote community-based forestry and returning farmlands to forestry, increasing foraging space in moor lands and pastures, protection of wild plants, marsh vegetation restoration, water quality improvement, media productions, and an educational campaign for communities. Local people within the core zone are being encouraged and compensated to relocate, and a Grus nigricollis rescue station has been established. Ramsar site No. 1435.
Eling Lake. 07/12/04; Qinghai; 65,907 ha; 34º56'N 097º43'E. Provincial Nature Reserve. The largest freshwater lake in the Yellow River catchment with high hydrological values, regulating run-offs, retaining sediments, maintaining water quality, and preventing flooding. At over 4,200 meters on semi-arid plateau, the lake is an important habitat for the globally endangered Grus nigricollis, Anser indicus, Larus ichthyaetus, Phalacrocorax carbo, and Larus brunnicephalus, and supports key fish species including Gymnocypris eckloni Herzenstein and Gymnodiptychus ptychocheilus Herzenstein. The sub-Himalayan plant community forms the main food of livestock and the source of traditional Tibetan herbal medicines. The lake plays an important role in Tibetan Buddhist history and is one of the six holiest sites for pilgrimage. Threats to the site include shrinking glaciers and retreating snow lines caused by global warming, with decreasing water supplies. Ramsar site No. 1436.
Lashihai Wetland. 07/12/04; Yunnan; 3560 ha; 26º53'N 100º08'E. Provincial Nature Reserve. A unique plateau freshwater lake with marsh meadows, located between 2,440 and 3,100 meters above sea level at the headwaters of the Yangtze River in the Hengduan Mountains. It is an important migration passage, breeding ground and wintering habitat of nearly 76 species of wild geese and ducks, e.g. Anas crecca, Fulica atra, and Aythya fuligula. The water outlet of the lake is connected to the Jinsha River with major hydrological functions of flood control, storage and water balance in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It also supplies drinking water to Lijian City, a famous World Heritage cultural property. As a biodiversity 'hotspot', Lashihai attracts 200-300 tourists daily particularly for birdwatching and horse-riding; major protection measures include a ban on and inspection of fishing, poaching and hunting, but a potential threat for the lake ecosystem is increasing unplanned tourism. Ramsar Site No. 1437.
Maidika. 07/12/04; Tibet Autonomous Region; 43,496 ha; 31°08'N, 093°00'E. A vast swamp meadow above 4,900 meters, with permanent and seasonal pools and lakes in the headwater region of the Maidicangbu, a tributary stream of the Lhasa River. The site, one of the "highest altitude wetlands with the coexistence of man and nature", performs major hydrological functions like control of soil erosion, prevention of seasonal floods, interception of sediment from the upper stream and formation of a productive wetland with meadows and swamps. Maidika plays a critical role as a staging and breeding habitat for migratory waterfowl, including rare endangered Black-necked Crane Grus nigricollis, Ruddy Shelducks Tadorna ferruginea, and Bar-headed Goose Anser indicus, harbouring about 6,000-10,000 migratory birds every year. Plant species are not abundant because of the high altitude climate conditions, giving space for fragile grasses belonging to aster and bean families to grow. The lands are mostly state-owned and partly contracted to local Tibetans as pastures for increasing numbers of livestock each year. Ramsar site No.1438.
Mapangyong Cuo. 07/12/04; Tibet Autonomous Region; 73,782 hectares; 30°44' N 081°19'E. A high-altitude wetland of the Tibetan plateau (4,500-6,500m asl) covering Mapangyong and Laang Lakes with surrounding swamps and rivers, "one of the highest elevation freshwater wetlands in the world" and a source of the Yalu Tsangpo/Brahmaputra River. It is a spawning and survival habitat for Tibetan plateau endemic fish species Schizopygopsis microcephalus and Triplophysa stewarti and supports large populations of Black-necked Crane Grus nigricollis and the chiru or Tibetan antelope Pantholops hodgsoni, amongst others. Vegetation is dominated by subalpine desert grasslands like Stipa glareosa with alpine meadow composed of Stipa purpurea, Carex moorcroftii, Poa annua and Caragana versicolor distributed between 4,700-5,000m asl. The lake, situated beside the holy mountain Kang Rinpoche, is a holy place in Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and "Black Buddhism" and attracts hundreds of devotees and tourists every year. Local herdmen use the surrounding wetlands for grazing. Ramsar site No. 1439.
Napahai Wetland. 07/12/04; Yunnan; 2,083 ha; 27º51'N 099º38´E. Provincial Nature Reserve. A seasonal karst marsh composed of meadow, open water, peatlands, and surrounding forests situated at about 3,260m above sea level, with lake outflow through karst caves draining underground into the Jinsha River in the upper reaches of the Yangtze. It is an important wintering site and staging post for numerous valuable, rare and endangered wintering birds, especially the Black-necked Crane Grus nigricollis, Black Stork Ciconia nigra, and White-tailed Eagle Haliaeetus albicilla. The region is economically very poor, but in recent years sightseeing and birdwatching have brought significant economic and social benefits, and it is felt that conservation-based ecotourism will benefit the protection of the ecosystems. Overgrazing and logging in the surrounding area are seen as potential threats. An "awareness education and publicity" project has been proposed to build wildlife rescue stations and a centre for awareness education, publicity and exhibition for nature conservation. Ramsar site no. 1440.
Shuangtai Estuary. 07/12/04; Liaoning; 128,000 ha; 41º00'N, 121º47'E. National Nature Reserve. The estuary of the Liao River at Liaodong Bay in northeastern China, the site includes "the essential part of the world's largest reed marsh (Phragmites communis)", a large area of Suaeda community, and shallow sea. The site, which meets all eight of the Ramsar Criteria, provides flood control and prevention, maintains groundwater recharge, and retains 10.4 million tons of nutrients and sediment each year, helping to prevent coastal water eutrophication. It provides important habitat for resting and breeding of 400,000 waterbirds of 106 species, including endangered Grus japonensis, G. leucogeranus, and Larus saundersi. The site provides seasonal occupation for 20,000 people for reed irrigation and harvest, oil exploration facility checking, agriculture and aquaculture. Conservation measures include environmental awareness and education for protection of birds. Ramsar site no. 1441.
Zhaling Lake. 07/12/04. Qinghai; 64,920 ha; 34º55'N 097º16'E. Provincial Nature Reserve. A unique plateau freshwater wetland at high altitude (4,273m asl) with marsh meadow and alpine vegetations, with the second largest lake in the sources of the Yellow River. As the lake is nutriet-poor and cold, only adaptive fish forms such as Gymnocypris eckloni, Platypharodon extremus, Chuanchia labiosa, and Gymnodiptychus pachycheilu are developed, which gives the site a high level of fish endemism. The conservation targets for the wetland include 22 nationally protected species, e.g. Grus nigricollis, Aquila chrysaetos, and Gypaetus barbatus. The swamp area is a breeding and roosting habitat of other common waterbirds such as Tadorna Ferruginea, Larus brunnicephalus, Larus ichthyaetus, Phalacrocorax carbo, and Anser indicus. Local Tibetan people have created distinctive plateau culture, religion, and folk customs which attract scientists, explorers and travelers every year despite limited tourism facilities so far. Pasture lands around the lake are contracted to the local herdsmen, about 1,800 in number. Following a sharp decline of natural fish stock due to over-harvesting in the late 1980s, the exhausted stock was replenished through adoption of a local conservation plan that prevented over-fishing. However, the main threats remain with over-grazing in the pastures and desertification. Ramsar site no. 1442.

Whitfield County Public Works plans to repave a section of Mount Vernon Road riddled with potholes.
Officials plan to repave the section of road between Houston Valley Road and Cottonwood Mill Road.
"It is the top layer of asphalt that is peeling up," says DeWayne Hunt with public works, "but the root of the problem is with the second layer, leaving a shallow pothole about 1 inch deep."
Public works says shallow potholes like that are difficult to patch because the patches are beat out by traffic.
In the fall, WCPW will have the entire road width milled about 2.5 inches deep, then repaved.Both the milling and the additional asphalt required will be an expensive repair, but should provide a permanent solution for all citizens that travel that particular section of road, Hunt said.
Bigom's sentence for the murder is life in prison; the additional four years is the abuse of a corpse.

Wauwatosa elementary student alleges teacher put him in closet
A Lincoln Elementary teacher was placed on administrative leave after allegations arose that she made a 10-year-old student stand in a closet for 35 minutes after he disrupted class by laughing.
According to the police report:
The student's father came to the Wauwatosa Police Department on Friday after his son told him about the incident, which the son said had happened two weeks earlier at the school, 1741 Wauwatosa Ave. The student said he was told to stand in the closet with the lights on for about half an hour, while another student who was disciplined was sent to the cafeteria.
In another incident May 12, the same teacher grabbed the student by the back of the shirt, causing scratches on his back and making him bump his head, according to the student and his father.
The complaint was forwarded to the Police Department's detective bureau for further review.» Read Full Article

TosaFest fight had no arrests or reported injuries, police say
Wauwatosa Police Lieutenant Paul Leist said no one was arrested and no injuries were reported as a result of a fight that broke out at TosaFest around 9 p.m. Saturday.
TosaFest organizer Ann Raisler said families watching an outdoor movie, "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2," had noticed a group of teenagers becoming increasingly disruptive toward the edge of the festival, near Baskin Robbins.
"They were being loud and obnoxious during that move, and eventually it turned into something messier," Raisler said.
Leist said there were about 200 kids in the area, and officers staffing the event were keeping an eye on them when they started pushing and shoving each other. He said he wasn't sure how the conflict started, but it attracted a crowd.
"At some point, the kids ran toward the area thinking there was a fight," he said. "It came to a point where it was like, in the name of safety, we should shut this section down."» Read Full Article

'Chaotic' scene at TosaFest limited to one area, mayor says
Wauwatosa Mayor Kathy Ehley said Sunday she's disappointed a fight among teenagers at TosaFest forced organizers to shut down an outdoor children's movie that was part of the event.
Ehley also said the chaos in one part of the festival grounds was not noticed by most TosaFest attendees. Music was scheduled on two separate stages at other corners of the festival during and after the fight.
"It's just really a shame when some people misbehave and it spoils it for some others," she said.
On Saturday, a festival volunteer told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel hundreds of young people were milling around the village near where the movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2" was being played when the fight broke out about 9 p.m.
The mayor said she was in the police command center Saturday when officers called for help in dealing with a large crowd in an area where teenagers and young adults usually gather during the festival. She was told that several people ran toward the fight and later ran away from the area. Officers halted the fight and shut down the movie as a way of dispersing that part of the crowd, she said.» Read Full Article

Tosa West's Purifoy, big plays spark 35-15 win
It took the Wauwatosa West football team a half to get going, but when it did, there was no looking back for the Trojans in a 35-15 win over an improved Grafton team.
West (2-0) fell behind 12-0 and trailed 15-14 at halftime, but then the Trojans scored on three big plays to blow out the Blackhawks, 21-0, in the second half.
"I think we're going to be a big-play offense," coach Matt Good said. "We practice those plays. It was fun to watch when the kids did what they are supposed to do."
Trailing, 15-14, Grafton had just stopped the Trojans, when Zach Veit when back to punt on the opponent's 43-yard line. Veit took the snap, watched the Blackhawks turn and go down field to block and then took off on his own on an 18-yard romp to get a crucial first down.
"That's a coach's kid, making a coach's kid's play," Good said of Veit, whose father, Ben, was a former West coach. "Zach's a very intelligent football player. He saw something and took advantage of it.» Read Full Article

Netanyahu surprise gives Israel grand coalition
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formed a unity government on Tuesday in a surprise move that could give him a freer hand to attack Iran's nuclear facilities and seek peace with the Palestinians.
The coalition deal, negotiated secretly over the past days and sealed at a private meeting overnight, means the centrist Kadima party will join Netanyahu's rightist coalition, creating a majority with 94 of parliament's 120 seats.
The alliance, which replaces plans announced just two days earlier for a snap election in September, will be one of the biggest in Israel's history - though an opinion poll found only 39 percent of Israelis supported it and 34 percent were opposed.
"This government is good for security, good for the economy and good for the people of Israel," Netanyahu told a joint news conference with Kadima leader Shaul Mofaz, a former defense chief who began secret talks on a deal last week.
The new coalition would, Netanyahu said, focus on redrafting the budget, on electoral reform and on what he called sharing out military duties across the population - his religious coalition partners had unsettled the government by opposing plans to end exemptions from the draft for ultra-Orthodox Jews.
Among other goals of the new government would, the prime minister said, be "to try to advance a responsible peace process" with the Palestinians: "Not all has been agreed but we have a very strong basis for continued action," he said, urging Palestinians to "come sit with us for serious negotiations".
Asked how the new alliance would address Israel's concern that Iran is secretly developing nuclear weapons, Netanyahu replied: "Of course one of the important issues is Iran."
Environment Minister Gilad Erdan said the accord would help build support for any action against Iran's atomic program, which Israel views as a threat to its survival despite Iranian insistence that it is seeking only nuclear energy, not bombs.
"An election wouldn't stop Iran's nuclear program. When a decision is taken to attack or not, it is better to have a broad political front, that unites the public," he told Israel Radio.
Mofaz has long blamed Netanyahu for the failure of peace talks with the Palestinians. He said on Tuesday that "entering peace negotiations was an iron condition for forming the unity government."
Peace talks have been suspended for 18 months in a dispute over Jewish settlement building in the occupied West Bank and Palestinians say they cannot resume unless such construction is frozen. Netanyahu has called for talks without preconditions.
The Palestinians responded cautiously.
In an interview with Reuters, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said it was too soon to comment directly on the new Israeli coalition. He was waiting for a reply from Netanyahu to a letter he sent last month and he was ready to engage if the Israeli leader proposed "anything promising or positive".
A spokesman for Abbas called on Israel to "use the opportunity provided by the expansion of its coalition government" to expedite a peace accord, demanding Israel halt building settlements on land the Palestinians want for a state.
"The new coalition government needs to be a coalition of peace and not a coalition for war," Nabil Abu Rdainah said.
The new coalition accord says the new administration will "work towards the resumption of the peace process and promoting talks with the Palestinian Authority".
But it also noted "the importance of maintaining defensible borders", a phrase Netanyahu has used in the past to deflect Palestinian demands for extensive Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank, territory captured in a 1967 war.
The accord stunned the political establishment and drew swift censure from the centre-left Labour party, which surveys had predicted would make electoral gains at Kadima's expense.
"This is a pact of cowards and the most contemptible and preposterous zigzag in Israel's political history," Labour leader Shelly Yachimovich was quoted as saying in the media, while some commentators hailed Netanyahu's political prowess.
The next election is due in October 2013 but Netanyahu had pushed this month for an early poll after divisions emerged in his coalition over the new military conscription law. Parliament was preparing to dissolve itself and clear the decks for a September 4 ballot while the backroom talks with Kadima were under way.
"When it turned out it was possible to set up the biggest government in Israel's history ... I thought we could restore stability without elections, so I decided to set up a broad national unity government," Netanyahu said.
One politician privy to the deal said the idea was first aired only last week, when Mofaz paid respects to Netanyahu as the prime minister mourned his father, who died on April 30.
Under the coalition accord, Mofaz will be vice premier. In a previous stint as deputy prime minister in 2008 he was among the first Israeli officials to air publicly the possibility of an attack on Iran.
But the Tehran-born Mofaz has since been more circumspect while in opposition, saying Israel should not hasten to break ranks with world powers that are trying to pressure Iran through sanctions and negotiations rather than force.
Gerald Steinberg, political scientist at Bar-Ilan University near Tel Aviv, said the coalition deal "sends a very strong signal to Tehran, but also to Europe and the United States, that Israel is united and the leadership is capable of dealing with the threats that are there if and when it becomes necessary".
The Obama administration, which has played up its pro-Israel credentials ahead of the November election in the United States, said coordination on the Palestinians and Iran would continue.
"A new coalition in Israel certainly will not affect our policy approach. We continue to have very good relations with leaders in Israel," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
Israeli officials say the next year may be crucial in seeing whether Iran will curb its nuclear plans in the face of international condemnation and Western sanctions. Iran will discuss its nuclear program with major powers on May 23.
Iran regularly rejects foreign accusations it is working on developing a nuclear bomb, saying its program is for energy and medical needs. On Tuesday, its Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast dismissed threats of attack as "propaganda".
Israel is reputed to have the region's only nuclear arsenal.
Kadima, with 28 seats, will add significant weight to the coalition, but it remains uncertain how it will get along with religious and ultra-right parties also in the cabinet.
Intra-government relations are likely to be tested swiftly over the issue of settlement building after the high court ordered the government on Monday to demolish five apartment buildings in a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank.
Many Netanyahu supporters want him to adopt legislation to legalize settlements, such as the Ulpana apartments, which a court has ruled were built on privately owned Palestinian land.
It is not clear if Kadima would support such a move, which would draw international condemnation on Israel.

Who cares how Israel sees it? They may be just another right-wing government that is scared to death of bogey men, but that doesn't prove anything beyond how easily scared Israeli's are.
If you look past the warmongering right-wing rhetoric, and look at facts, several things emerge.
* Not a single trace of nuclear weapon has ever been found in Iran.
* Not a single trace of weapons-grade Uranium, or weapons-grade Plutonium, has ever been found in Iran.
* All the Uranium ever imported into Iran is annually audited and accounted for.
In short, the actual physical evidence supporting the right-wing assertion that there is a weapons programme is nil. Zero. Nothing. Nada. The weapons programme exists only in fevered right-wing imaginations.
This is Saddam's WMD all over again…
They are looking of an excuse to attack Iran, and what better than a large majority vote, for they know America will back them behind the door.
Why should they (Israel) be allowed to have the bomb, they have never openly admitted it, and yet ban other countries from also having it.
I am aware that extremists need to be stopped, and I'm not that keen on Iran having the bomb, but who are we, or anyone, to say no when we have it ourselves. One rule for us but a different rule to them. The question that need to be answered: Why don't Israel admit they have nuclear and are prepared to give it up, and to then tell the world it is to do so, so then they can rant about other countries from a position of strength.
I know there is no easy answer, but there is enough instability in the world without creating more, so come on Israel do the right thing, for generally, the values they hold are good.

Yoke Leen
Despite the roundups, the on-going fears of anti-Chinese violence, and the threat of deportation, many Chinese American women insisted that local governments protect their rights to live as they chose. One Chinese woman refused to submit to sexual slavery.
In 1910 Yoke Leen marched into the courthouse in Sonora, California and demanded that the clerk take her deposition and preserve it in the county records. In her affidavit Yoke Leen described herself—her height, her hair, her scars. She attached a photograph. And then she announced that she was a free woman. She created this unique legal document to define her freedom in case any man might "try to do away with me either by bringing some fictitious charge against me or by kidnapping and imprisoning me." Then she signed her name in English and Chinese. 33

In a race against time, behind enemy lines, often unarmed, a special force of American and British museum directors, curators, art historians, and others, called the Monuments Men, risked their lives scouring Europe to prevent the destruction of thousands of years of culture. Focusing on the 11-month period between D-Day and V-E Day, this fascinating account follows six Monuments Men and their impossible mission to save the world's great art from the Nazis.
©2009 Robert M. Edsel; (P)2009 Macmillan Audio
"The story is both engaging and inspiring. In the midst of a total war, armies systematically sought to mitigate cultural loss." (Publishers Weekly)
"[Narrator Jeremy Davidson] varies the pacing effectively, based on the nature of the text. He speeds up slightly during exciting action-filled sequences. He reads letters and documents with a flatter tone, making it easy for listeners to discern when the document stops and the author's words resume. He also gives a slight but not intrusive or cartoonish British accent to quotations by Britishers." (AudioFile)
"Fine book, adequate narration"
I enjoyed this book but found the narrator's attempts at foreign accents jarring. I'd like to see Audible vet narrators on their ability to do foreign accents before they hire them to read books that require foreign accents.
How is it possible that 67 years later, we are still reading new (and interesting) facts about World War II? This is a wonderful story and I kept a list of works of art discussed throughout the book to google. It reminded me of the beauty of works by Vermeer and others and I found the book an art history class as well as a story of brave men and women who risked their lives to save what they loved most - art.
"Interesting listen"
I met Bret Witter at a book convention, and after speaking with him decided to listen to this book. While parts of the book are very interesting, overall it is somewhat disjointed. It is more like a string of stories and adventures, rather than a novel. If you have an interest in WWII, as I do, then you would probably enjoy this, but it may be one of those books that is better to read than to listen to. I did find the book at Borders, and was able to see the art objects that the author describes as well as trace the paths of the Monuments Men. (One more reason to read, rather than listen to this one.)
Audible has changed my life! Dry , itchy eyes were destroying one of my greatest pleasures - reading. Now I am experiencing books again!
"Been to a Museum? Thank these People!"
If you have ever been to or wanted to visit any of the great museums of the world, then you should read this and marvel!
It's a great book, but the real marvel is that we have never heard of this endeavor before. There are many stories of inspiration from WWII, and I think this ranks with the very best of them! It's the story of how we nearly lost most of the great and irreplaceable treasures of Western culture - and why that would have been a tragedy of unthinkable magnitude.
Of course, so many people died too. And, understandably perhaps, that story has been the focus of most books and movies about WWII. This book acknowledges that, but it also asks an important question about the role of art in the identity of nations.
Is any work of art worth a human life? Should military decisions include an attempt to preserve important cultural sites and works of art? These are questions well worth our consideration and "The Monuments Men" offers a terrific argument about why the answer should be "yes"! It was important in the past and should be in the future.
This book is fascinating! These people and their mission make for a "you couldn't make these things up", true and suspenseful story. The narrator does a great job.
I'll never again visit a museum without thinking about this book and the movie made from it. I know the movie didn't get great reviews, but it did bring to light a fantastic and hopeful story. Those who like books about history and/or art will enjoy both the filmed and audio versions.
This is important stuff!
"Excellent book marred by narration"
As a lover of art, culture and history, I found this a fascinating account of the heroes and villains involved in the fate of European art, architecture, books and other cultural treasures during the final stages of World War II in Western Europe.
The are so many..an American example: James Rorimer..the "bull dog" former curator of the Cloisters in NY..although a lowly private, he daringly challenged senior officers of his own army when necessary to protect art treasures..Rose Valland, the mousy employee of Jeu de Paume who spied on the Germans and kept meticulous records of their thefts..There were also unsung heroes on the German side who secretly worked to thwart the Nazi agenda of theft and destruction.
Yes, if it does not involve the pronunciation of French names, or dialogue spoken by non- Americans. For example, he pronounces the last name of Rose Valland, a key character, as if it were spelled "Vailland"..very off-putting if you speak French. He also constantly mispronounces the names of even we'll-known French places. Even worse, his attempts at speaking with a French, German or British accent in the direct quotes were goofy and extremely distracting.
Yes..if I had had the time, in order to find out the fate of the individual characters and works of art.
I highly recommend both this book, which focuses on the Monuments Men's efforts in North Western Europe, and "Saving Italy" by the same author. The latter book also benefits from the excellent narration of Edoardo Ballerini, a bilingual reader with perfect American and Italian accents: names are pronounced correctly (he even does a pretty good job with the German names.) Also, unlike Davidson, Ballerini does not inflict different accents on the non American characters, so one can concentrate of the content of the dialogues without unnecessary distraction.
Can't stop listening
"Read BEFORE the movie"
As an art lover and someone who lived in Europe many years ago, I had only heard whispers of these stories, random crumbs about Nazi art thefts of some of my most beloved masterpieces, but I never knew the extent of the theft or that the art and architecture I have spent my life learning about came so close to being lost, completely, before I was born. This was a revelation, and well told. I am left with a burning desire to thank the heroes of this story and to hope that the movie offers a fitting memorial to their mission. This is the kind of book I want everyone to read, certain that lives will be enriched knowing this worthy story, and certain that it will be closer to the truth than any film can offer. Read first before the movie has some fun with it.
"Plodding Book that Never Finds a Narrative"
As much as I wanted this book to be a glimpse of a little known aspect of World War II, it instead left me searching to see if a better book on the subject has been written. The authors throw in far too many uninteresting characters and stories, ending up with a plodding book that avoids getting interesting until the very end. The book doesn't shed any light on who in command supporting the effort and allocating personnel to the task of art preservation. The authors includes letters home from the people involved verbatim without trying to spin into them into the narrative. This is unfortunately a very weak effort at a possibly interesting story. But it will take a better writer to answer that question.
"American Exceptionalism at its finest…."
This book is another excellent reminder of the many sacrifices that this nation has made without asking for a single thing in return. In the history of the world this kind of effort to willingly sacrifice life and limb to protect and locate the cultural treasures (of our friends and enemies alike) is unprecedented. The book was very interesting, though like some of the other reviewers; I thought it started out a tad slow. Since you don't have the physical book (which shows pictures of many of the works of art referenced), I would suggest writing down the names of the ones that interest you and then googling the images when near a computer. The pieces referenced are a "who's who" in terms of the European masters—truly amazing.
"Not every soldier in WWII needs a book about them"
The book starts off great. There's a great buildup describing the main characters, what their mission is, who the villains are, what the scenes will be....but then nothing comes together. The 10 main characters all have great back stories, and I was led to believe that they'd all come together to undo some big evil plan of Rosenberg's...but no, nothing. The way Ettlinger's back story was set up, I thought he'd play a huge part in the book, but no, he gets drafted, then pulled from his unit before going to the front, sits around for four months doing absolutely nothing, does some translation work for the MFAA, finds his grandpa's painting, then goes home. What?!? All this buildup for that??? So far as I can tell, the 10 main characters are never even in the same room together. They barely meet, and when they do, it's for a matter of days, maybe a week, then they're off running around like a chicken with its head cut off. That's how the story line of the book goes to, if you can say there is a story line. There's no plot. There's no antagonist. There's no theme. There's no drama. There's no buildup. There's no climax and there's no resolution. The book is just a hodgepodge of random, disjointed stories with WWII going on in the background. Why should I care that a Christmas package of fruit cake arrived in March instead of at Christmas? Why should I care that Rose Valland can't trust anyone and won't give up the information she'd been collecting for 3 years? I don't know. The monuments men follow the front line, going to churches, castles and caves finding and saving artwork that was either stolen or stored for protection. They constantly complain about being understaffed and under-supplied, but no one ever does anything about it. No one seemed to care about the monuments men during the War, after the war, or even up till today. Also, this book is full of historical inaccuracies. Churchill most certainly did not insist on a cross-channel invasion of Europe after fighting had ceased in North Africa. He wanted to go for the soft underbelly of Europe - Italy. Ike, Marshall and FDR were the ones wanting to invade northern Europe right away. If you're interested in WWII history, this book is not for you. Maybe if you're in to art history, you'll find something of interest here, but I doubt it. Is art worth a life? I don't know, but reading this book didn't do anything to answer that question for me.
Probably not. There are blatant historical errors in his research and he didn't do a good job of writing a coherent story.
I don't know. He's got a good voice, but with so many characters, even the best narrator would have a hard time differentiating them all. I couldn't keep track of who was who and where everyone was and what they were doing and why they were doing it. But, on a whole, the narration was okay. His accents sounded forced, fake and it was hard to understand what he was saying with an accent.
I don't know....all of them? After getting through the whole book, I still wasn't sure who was who. I just finished it a few hours ago and I can't even tell you who was in charge of the MFAA. They were really quite forgettable.
Skip this book. I've heard that the Rape of Europa by Lynn H. Nicholas is much better and reads like a thriller.
Love historical fiction, mystery, suspense, and good meaty books.
I enjoyed listening to this book and finding out about these unsung heroes and their tremendous contributions to our world.
Too many to mention.
Tie between George Stout and Rose Valande.
The can do attitude when faced with few resources and the total commitment to a daunting assignment.

October 23, 2012
The current market climate is challenging for those seeking yield in their portfolios, but there are yield opportunities for those who know where to look. In a recent interview, Dan Shackelford, manager of the T. Rowe Price New Income Fund and the T. Rowe Price Inflation Protected Bond Fund, discussed available yield opportunities.
Shackelford notes that corporations continue to offer bonds with returns similar to those of equities. Companies have been generating robust profits and sitting on hoards of cash and have been very conservative in terms of their decisions involving spending and hiring. These trends may not be helpful for investors that own stocks, but they enhance bond credit quality and are helpful for bond markets overall. Corporations are currently very well positioned to make good on their repayment responsibilities when issuing bonds.
The Federal Reserve Bank announced in September that it plans to purchase $40 billion worth of bonds—in the form of mortgage-backed securities—every month for as long as needed to improve the job market. This decision makes the central bank an even more important player in the bond market. It also raises questions as to how long the Fed will continue these purchases given that it is crowding out private buyers, and what the impact will be when the central bank exits the market.
Shackelford notes that these stimulus efforts, which are designed to push investors into riskier assets, could benefit both high yield and emerging market bonds. He notes that many of these bonds currently offer yields between 5% and 6% and that investment-grade securities are currently offering yield advantages compared with Treasuries that are relatively high from a historical perspective. Shackelford emphasizes that investors putting their money into either the high yield or emerging debt markets need to remember the risks, however.
Shackelford notes that in an environment of continued low interest rates, bond markets have provided strong total returns in 2012 when principal gains are taken into account. For the year through September, for example, high yield bonds have provided returns of 11.2% and investment-grade corporate bonds have generated an 8.7% gain.
Shackelford notes that the global economy is facing persistent challenges, with a lackluster recovery in the United States and an economy in Europe that is either flat or leaning toward a recession. With interest rates already low, economic weakness isn't likely to result in additional price gains for bonds, though it should further postpone future interest rate increases.
Shackelford points out that it is very difficult to get returns of between 8% and 10% in the current investing climate, but more moderate returns are still possible. That will likely continue to be the case for the next few years. He recommends that market participants incorporate securities into their portfolios that will benefit from an improving economy even if inflation ticks up modestly.
Yield and share price will vary with interest rate changes. Investors should note that if interest rates rise significantly from current levels, bond fund total returns will decline and may even turn negative in the short term. There is also a chance that some of the fund's holdings will have their credit ratings downgraded or will default. Deflationary conditions (when inflation is negative) could cause the Inflation Protected Bond Fund's principal and income to decrease in value.

The Boy Who Invented TV: The Story of Philo Farnsworth (2009)
by Kathleen Krull
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Philo Farnsworth started out as a farm boy in Utah. He was fascinated with machines and mechanics. He had a naturally inquisitive brain and this is what drove him to inventing the very first television.
This is a good informational book the illustrations went great with the story. The story was well written for children and was not to much information to take in. This would be a great book to use science class, could do an activity about electricity and how televisions work.
A fun look at the some history behind the inventor of the television. Was it really invented by a little boy? Was there really a time before T.V.? A great read full of interesting facts.
This is a informational/nonfiction text. I personally got bored. I would't recomment it because of the way it's written. There's nothing too interesting that they share in the book.
I was not the biggest fan of this book, although it does tell a good story and this teaches a great lesson to our kids that you can do whatever you set your mind to no matter who you are and how old you are. I think it was quite wordy and not what I had expected it to be. It would be better for older grades like 5th grade because younger kids would get bored and somewhat lost in all the text. The pictures were nice, but with such an inspirational story I wanted something brighter and uplifting.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375845615, Hardcover)An inspiring true story of a boy genius.
Plowing a potato field in 1920, a 14-year-old farm boy from Idaho saw in the parallel rows of overturned earth a way to "make pictures fly through the air." This boy was not a magician; he was a scientific genius and just eight years later he made his brainstorm in the potato field a reality by transmitting the world's first television image. This fascinating picture-book biography of Philo Farnsworth covers his early interest in machines and electricity, leading up to how he put it all together in one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. The author's afterword discusses the lawsuit Farnsworth waged and won against RCA when his high school science teacher testified that Philo's invention of television was years before RCA's.

This picture-book biography explains how Farnsworth held on to his dream to develop television and the scientific concepts behind it.

3 Biotech Stocks Under $10 to Trade
DELAFIELD, Wis. (Stockpickr) -- At Stockpickr, we track daily portfolios of stocks that are the biggest percentage gainers and the biggest percentage losers.
>>3 Hot Stocks to Trade (or Not)
Stocks that are making large moves like these are favorites among short-term traders because they can jump into these names and try to capture some of that massive volatility. Stocks that are making big-percentage moves either up or down are usually in play because their sector is becoming attractive or they have a major fundamental catalyst such as a recent earnings release. Sometimes stocks making big moves have been hit with an analyst upgrade or an analyst downgrade.
Regardless of the reason behind it, when a stock makes a large-percentage move, it is often just the start of a new major trend -- a trend that can lead to huge profits. If you time your trade correctly, combining technical indicators with fundamental trends, discipline and sound money management, you will be well on your way to investment success.>>5 Hated Earnings Stocks You Should Love With that in mind, let's take a closer look at a several stocks under $10 that are making large moves to the upside. CorMedix CorMedix (CRMD), a development-stage pharmaceutical and medical device company, focuses on in-license, development and commercialization of therapeutic products for the treatment of cardiac and renal dysfunction primarily in the dialysis and non-dialysis areas. This stock closed up 2.3% to $2.62 in Tuesday's trading session. Tuesday's Range: $2.52-$2.73
52-Week Range: $0.48-$3.20
Tuesday's Volume: 227,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 263,835 From a technical perspective, CRMD bounced notably higher here right above its 50-day moving average of $2.44 with decent upside volume. This stock has been downtrending over the last month, with shares moving lower from its high of $3.20 to its recent low of $2.51. During that downtrend, shares of CRMD have been making mostly lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, shares of CRMD are now finding buying interest near its 50-day moving average and the stock is starting to move within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if CRMD manages to take out some key near-term overhead resistance levels at $2.76 to $3 and then once it clears its 52-week high at $3.20 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in CRMD as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $2.44 or above more near-term support at $2.20 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 263,835 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then CRMD will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory above $3.20, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are $4 to $4.50.

What Americans Think and Feel about Evolution
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.

BioLogos Basics Video #3: What about the Bible?
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
Ken Ham and Biblical Authority
Because BioLogos accepts the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and common ancestry, Ham believes we are undermining the Bible and denying its authority. However, the authority of the Bible is key for all that we do at BioLogos.
"The Language of God" Book Club – Chapter 4
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
Ham on Nye – What to Watch for
Watch to see whether the debate encourages the opinion that science and Christianity are at war. We don't think you have to choose sides.
Response to Ken Ham
Last week Ken Ham addressed BioLogos specifically in a blog post, in response to Daniel Hamlin's testimony told in our blog on October 14th.
Series: Excerpts from "Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design" (7 entries)
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.

A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Worshiping, Growing, and Learning
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.

In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?

To the Editor: As part of an ongoing treatment study of co-occurring bipolar mania and cannabis abuse in adolescents, we obtained bimonthly urine toxicology screens using the Status DS immunoassay. We found that the first five subjects initially tested negative for tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), but all five tested positive after being treated with topiramate or placebo and quetiapine. All of the patients denied using TCAs but were forthcoming regarding their drug use. A quetiapine trough blood level was obtained the same morning that urine toxicology screens were performed, and the results paralleled TCA toxicology findings (i.e., when subjects showed quetiapine in their serum [5.1–85 ng/ml], they tested positive for TCAs). However, when two of the subjects were nonadherent to their medications and their quetiapine levels were undetectable, their toxicology screens were negative for TCAs. After these two patients were encouraged to take their medications and had detectable quetiapine levels, they once again tested positive for TCAs.
The structure of quetiapine is similar to that of TCAs (both contain a similar tricyclic framework), and there have been two prior case reports in the literature that noted false positives for TCAs in adult patients who were receiving quetiapine treatment (1, 2). Three in vitro studies (1–3) found false positive TCA results in some immunoassays using concentrations as low as 160 ng/ml of quetiapine. To our knowledge, there have been no prior reports of cannabis use or topiramate use causing false positives for TCAs. Therefore, we concluded that treatment with quetiapine was the cause of the positive TCA toxicology screens in our subjects, which occurred even at levels close to the detection threshold (as low as 5.1 ng/ml). Doses of quetiapine ranged from 300–600 mg, and there was a high variability in serum levels between subjects for a specific dose of quetiapine. These data are consistent with prior research that reported only modest to no correlation between dose and serum concentration with high intersubject variability and no correlation with therapeutic effectiveness (4, 5). Adolescents with bipolar disorder are poorly adherent to medications. Therefore, qualitative measures of quetiapine may be useful to determine whether patients are medication adherent. Our findings suggest that certain immunoassays for TCAs are useful as a qualitative test for quetiapine adherence and may avoid the need for more expensive serum level tests. Nevertheless, physicians should be aware of this potential cross-reactivity in patients being treated with quetiapine.

Advisory Council
On Halloween Night, students from across all disciplines and from many different backgrounds joined forces to go trick-or-treating. Instead of getting candy, they collected cans for the Bay Area Food Bank and books for the children of underprivileged families. This event, known as "Ghouls for Good" was centralized in the Seaman's Bethel Theatre, the building of the USA Honors Program, and was likewise hosted by the Honors Program Organization and the Mortar Board. Ghouls for Good was organized by HPO President, Sid King, with the assistance of Mortar Board President, Jake Walker. HPO Officers, Chris Buchanan, Mary Bishop, Nikki Reed, Tyler Bell, Lauren Gessner, and Amy Traylor were all instrumental in making Ghouls for Good a reality.
To date, Ghouls for Good 2011 has been the largest service project in HPO history. The upstairs area in the Bethel was loaded down with stacks upon stacks of canned goods and piles of books following the project. Various departments, such as the Earth Sciences Department and CIS Department collected cans in class to support the event. The unofficial numbers as of November 3 rd were 2554 cans collected, 441 books collected, and a $100 check made payable to the Bay Area Food Bank.
Many campus organizations besides HPO were well represented, and had a large number of members helping and dedicated to the project, itself. These organizations were the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, Alpha Epsilon Delta, The Jaguar Marching Band, Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority, The Biology Student Association, Mortar Board, Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, and the BMD Society. With over 110 participants, Ghouls for Good is guaranteed to be a cornerstone project for HPO in many years to come, and only great things are expected in the future.
