A single cannon blast sliced through the silence of a quiet morning on a Missouri River bend on July 4, 1804. The crew of the Lewis & Clark Expedition was celebrating the first official observance of Independence Day in the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase territory. The site today is known as Little Bean Marsh Conservation Area, located 30 miles north of Kansas City.
Among the entries in William Clark's journal that day were observations of extensive prairies, rivers, a great number of goslings, and a clear lake containing vast quantities of fish and geese. He didn't write about the oppressive July heat and humidity, the "mosquitors" or the hardships endured. Instead, Clark wrote about the abundance and variety of wildlife, which was stunning even to this veteran explorer.
"The Plains of this country are covered with a Green Grass, well calculated for the sweetest and most norushing hay, interspersed with… trees, Spreding ther lofty branchs over Pools Springs or Brooks of fine water… Shrubs covered with the most delicious froot is to be seen in every direction, and nature appears to have exerted herself to butify the Senery by the variety of flours raiseing Delicately and highly… above the Grass, which Strikes & profumes the Sensation, and amuses the mind, throws it into Conjecturing the cause of So magnificent a Senery… in a Country thus Situated far removed from the Sivilised world to be enjoyed by nothing but the Buffalo Elk Deer & Bear in which it abounds."
His awe of the natural beauty he saw here is a powerful testament to the connection people have always felt for this land. Yet it would take only a generation of early settlers to forge an entirely different Missouri than what Clark had described.
From Wildlife Depletion to Conservation Action
By the 1860s, the insatiable demand for fur, feathers and meat had virtually emptied the forests. Relentless commercial hunting was rampant and unchecked. By the late 1800s, the largest lumber mill in the world came to the Ozarks to feed the booming railroad industry's thirst for railroad ties and a growing nation's need for wood products. In 1912 alone, 15 million hand-hewn railroad ties were sold in Missouri. It was also an age when a third of the Ozarks were burned each year in an effort to bring up the grasses for livestock. Missouri's forests were soon depleted.
By the 1930s, the country was in the grips of the

I quite severely, and with considerable malice aforethought, do not much care for the Oregon State Beavers.
Forgive me my lack of directness.
I strive as a rule to avoid murkiness in my writing, although I know of no filter that can grab every bit of grammatical grit before it fouls the page.
But it is, after all, the holiday season.
And it occurs to me that this is perhaps not the most appropriate time to employ unequivocal yet unfriendly verbs such as despise, detest and abhor.
Except it is Civil War week as well as Thanksgiving week.
And I graduated from the University of Oregon.
And the subject, after all, is only football.
And since a football team is an entity which has no feelings, as opposed to a person who definitely might suffer from the sting of harsh words, I suppose on second thought that there's no reason I shouldn't scrape away the euphemism and forego the hedging words and just admit that I hate Oregon State.
There's no harm in that, really.
I don't hate any of the players.
I have no reason to.
The only guy on the roster I've ever met is Grant Johnson from Baker City, and he was as friendly as any teenager I've come across.
As far as I'm concerned, hating a football team is basically as harmless as hating, say, a movie.
I thought "Armageddon" was ridiculous, for instance, but I never even considered writing a nasty letter to Ben Affleck.
Some would say, I'm sure, that hate is too prevalent in the world as it is.
I agree, but I also believe the world would be better off if a lot of people transferred their enmity from weighty topics such as politics and race and religion to comparatively trifling matters such as college football.
I hope Oregon State loses every football game it plays but I'm not, you know, irrational.
If one of my kids wants to study engineering or forestry, I'm not going to seethe with rage if OSU makes the list.
I've been asked several times to explain the source of my affinity for the Ducks and animosity toward the Beavers and my answer in each case was identical and, to both parties, unsatisfying.
I don't know.
There's no family grudge, which is the most common lineage for this sort of thing.
Neither of my parents went to Oregon, or to Oregon State.
Yet I distinctly remember watching an Oregon basketball game, when I couldn't have been older than about 8, and really rooting for the team clad in green and yellow.
I have an equally vivid memory, from maybe four years later, of driving south on I-5 toward Eugene for a high school basketball tournament and listening to an Oregon State basketball game on the radio. Everyone else in the car was rooting for the Beavers.
(Allow me this brief interlude to apologize to Beaver fans for injecting basketball, for them a sore subject indeed, into a column purportedly about football.)
I meanwhile was in the back seat, conducting a silent, but intense, anti-Beaver campaign.
Perhaps I was just resisting conformity.
As I said, I really don't know.
In any case, my loathing for the Beavers, whatever its origin, continues unabated.
If nothing else, being devoid of ambivalence in the ancient athletic rivalry between the Ducks and the Beavers affords me an especially keen sense of anticipation for Saturday's game in Corvallis.
I gather from what I've read recently that some Duck fans, though they'll be disappointed if Oregon loses, will consider it a nice condolence that Oregon State would then get to play in the Rose Bowl for the first time since the Johnson administration.
(Lyndon, not Andrew.)
This attitude puzzles me.
I mean there are only two major college football teams in this state, so why can't people pick one?
So what if they call it the Civil War. We all know there won't be any cavalry charges or artillery barrages, and more than likely no one from either team's going to come away with anything worse than a strained hamstring or a deep thigh bruise.
It's all right to choose sides.
It's only a football game.
The most important football game of the year.

A comfy chair or two in the bedroom sure, but a few more in the library would be a bit more....discrete

Transients are likely behind a fire in an abandoned building near America the Beautiful Park in downtown Colorado Springs.
Twenty-eight firefighters responded to the scene on 25 Cimino around 8 a.m. After an hour and a half, the fire was extinguished. It reportedly started on the first floor and moved up into the ceiling.
Firefighters found plenty of evidence that indicates that the fire was started by homeless using the building as shelter. The fire was likely started as a way to cook or keep warm.
The building, once the Colorado Springs Gas Administration building, has become a popular place for the Springs homeless population to sleep in. Knowing this, city officials locked the doors on the roof Friday, which had been the way transients had been gaining entry. Evidence indicates this did not deter entry over the weekend.
The building is scheduled to be demolished in the near future, so firefighters say they are not going to investigate the fire further or look for suspects.

I wanted to and so far, i've only pulled it off once with all six paladins of regus still alive on field not closed or dead at same time. Funny how antilla enable so much abuse, like, she potentially can gen 8 sp a turn for you if you choose to have inghazi disengage her for lulz.
Its a viable deck, just annoying and lame to play amongst the meta decks that show up in folrart arena. u will lose so much matches. But a matchup where you can win is far and between but it exists. If I could have all six paladins of regus standing on field at same time in folrart it can be done.
I also wanted to get a npc replay but disconnected so whelp.
You guys will have to satisfy yourself with this screenshot.
I wanted to beat up a BER while I was at it but lost, BER op, needs nurfing. Nitrodino saw it, Ber op, can fight off six paladins. Need nurfing. Beast Emperor Riveria for people that dunno.

DBOPEN Functionality
The DBOPEN functionality is used to make sure that the users can open all databanks quickly.
It can take relatively longer to open a databank if it is a large databank that was closed abnormally (for example if the machine crashed) because a databank check is automatically initiated following such a situation.
Multi-user Mode
When DBOPEN is run in multi-user mode, the index pages of the databank are checked before databank access can proceed, but the bulk of the databank contents (contained in the data pages) is checked in the background, thus minimizing the delay.
Background Threads
The checking performed by DBOPEN is performed by the background threads, see Number of Background Threads. Therefore, increasing the number of concurrent background threads available for use will increase the efficiency of the checking.
The DBOPEN functionality should normally be run as soon as the database server has been started.

The exports were authorized after officials were assured of "plausible civilian uses" for the chemicals, the Economy Ministry said in a written response to questions from left-wing lawmakers.
Chancellor Angela Merkel said there was no indication they had been used for military purposes.
"According to all the information available to me, they were used for civilian purposes," Merkel told public television station ARD.
But she said officials were still checking whether further shipments took place after 2006 and before May 2011, when Germany imposed strict controls on exports to Syria.
The chemicals, which were exported under governments headed by Merkel and her center-left predecessor Gerhard Schroeder, included 93 metric tons (102 tons) of hydrogen fluoride and 12 metric tons (13 tons) of ammonium hydrogen fluoride.
These substances can be used in the production of sarin, but also have legitimate civilian purposes, according to Carlos Fraga, a researcher at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington.
Both hydrogen fluoride and ammonium hydrogen fluoride have been subject to export restrictions in Germany since the late 1980s—shortly after Iraqi President Saddam Hussein ordered chemical weapons used against the Kurdish village of Halabja, resulting in around 5,000 deaths.
A U.N. report earlier this week confirmed that sarin was used in the Aug. 21 attack outside Damascus in which hundreds of people were killed. Russia has blamed Syrian rebels for the attack, while the U.S. and its European and Arab allies said Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces were responsible.

Glacier facts
Fast facts - Glacier retreat in all continents
- Nearly all glaciers surveyed in Alaska are melting. Thinning rates in the last 5 to 7 years are more than twice those seen in previous years. Half of the water flowing into the oceans, globally, due to melting glaciers, is a result of melting in Alaska.
- The northern Andes contain the largest concentration of glaciers in the tropics, but these glaciers are receding rapidly and losses accelerated during the 1990s.
- Glacier melting has accelerated in the European Alps since 1980, and 10 to 20% of glacier ice in the Alps was lost in less than two decades. Half the volume of Europe's Alpine glaciers has disappeared since 1850. By the end of this century, half of those left will have gone as well.
- Tropical glaciers in Africa have decreased in area by 60% to 70% on average since the early 1900s.
- The vast majority of all Himalayan glaciers have been retreating and thinning over the past 30 years, with accelerated losses over the last decade.
- The tropical glaciers in the Pacific have retreated, although in New Zealand some glaciers grew due to increased precipitation.
- Arctic glaciers have been receding, with the exception of Scandinavia and Iceland where increase in precipitation resulted in glacier growth. Greenland alone contains 12% of the world's ice; entire portions of the Greenland ice sheet appear to be sliding towards the sea.
- In Antarctica the centre of the continent is currently cooling so it won't be melting soon. However, coastal glaciers and ice sheets in the Antarctic are melting. The melting of ice sheets and ice shelves that sit on top of land, will result in higher sea levels.

Global Warming May Impact the American Sweet Tooth
Americans eat a lot of sugar. According to a 2012 infographic from www.OnlineNursingPrograms.com, we consume about 130 pounds of sugar each year. And when I say sugar, I don't just mean sugar from sugar cane. I am referring to corn syrup, which is used to sweeten our favorite soft drinks, of which the average American drinks 53 gallons per year. That sounds bad, and it is, but brain scans show that sugar is addictive as cocaine. Well, our national addiction is in major trouble from climate change.
Corn is the biggest agricultural crop in the U.S. It's a $65-billion-a-year industry and global warming is putting it at a significant risk. A report released this week by Ceres, a coalition of investor and environmental groups, says that corn is at risk because its water demands are growing at a time when the threat of drought is increasing. Ceres said corn production particularly is in danger due to its tapping stressed aquifers as a water source. A couple that are especially relied upon are the High Plains aquifer, which covers eight Great Plains states, and the Central Valley aquifer in California.
Report author Brooke Barton, Water Program Director at Ceres, says, "Escalating corn production for our food, livestock and energy industries has put the corn sector on an unsustainable path." The Midwest drought of 2012 pushed corn prices to record-level highs of $8 per bushel and according to the report are "a taste of what is predicted to become the new normal in many parts of the Corn Belt thanks to climate change."
Rising corn prices also impact more than just the food industry. The transportation industry may also take a hit as corn production is affected by climate change. The crop is used to make ethanol, which is a fuel additive, and accounts for roughly 10% of the country's fuel.
However, the largest use of corn in the U.S. is still for human consumption one way or another. Even if we're not directly drinking it in soft drinks, it is still used a livestock feed. Soda manufacturers, such as leading beverage company Coca-Cola Co., could make a significant difference in sustainable corn production. Ceres says they could seek out suppliers of their agricultural ingredients who use less water and fertilizers.
Although, the good news to our waistlines is that U.S. consumption of carbonated soft drinks has been declining for a decade. Maybe we are starting to wean ourselves off of our sugar addiction after all. Either way, it is part of a group of addictions that our country needs to overcome. Using less is the best way to control carbon emissions.

- Title
- Using life quality perception to define corporate philanthropy in emerging markets
- Author(s)
- Greenland, Steven J.
- Abstract
- A principal component analysis based upon over 3000 interviews with Kenyan consumers identifies ten key dimensions of concern or worry that have negatively impacted respondents' quality of life over the past year. Organizations that use these dimensions as a focus for their philanthropic activities are more likely to achieve a positive impact upon the community, creating shared value for consumers and businesses alike. The analysis also reveals potential to develop targeted activities that will match an organization's chosen market segments. Emerging markets present strong growth prospects for multinational organizations. Many companies attempt to ameliorate the challenges of operating in these regions by using CSR and strategic philanthropy to relate to local communities, but frequently this is done without clear understanding of which facets of life quality they should be trying to improve. This paper helps to direct and define corporate philanthropy in emerging markets.

Craig resident Craig Rummel proposed the idea at Tuesday night's council meeting, acknowledging that he intended it mainly to send a message that new laws and regulations are hurting the northwestern Colorado community's economy.
According to the Craig Daily Press ( http://tinyurl.com/cemfqj3), Rummel said coal, power and hunting are the area's life-blood and all three are under attack by lawmakers.
"For too long, the (Colorado) Legislature has been hammering us, and they're destroying our economy. Our voices are not being heard, but if we pass an ordinance, it will go viral, and then they'll be forced to listen to us," he said.
Rummel said trips by county leaders to talk to lawmakers have been ignored, including their opposition to a measure that would increase renewable energy mandates on rural electricity cooperatives from 10 percent to 25 percent by 2020.
Council members questioned how such a law would be enforced, but they didn't reject the suggestion outright.
Gov. John Hickenlooper has signed several divisive gun measures into law, including expanded background checks and an ammunition magazine limit.
Rummel's proposal includes exemptions for those not physically or mentally capable of operating a firearm, those financially unable to afford buying a firearm, people convicted of felony and residents who oppose owning a firearm for religious or other personal reasons.
Council member Ray Beck questioned why the same message couldn't be sent in the form of a resolution, which is more of a statement of belief than an enforceable law.
Craig Mayor Terry Carwile postponed a decision, but left the door open to further action.
"There is enough support up here of what you are saying, and I think there's room for you to convince us," he said.

Revision as of 15:40, 26 July 2011
Status Quo
Currently we allow the user to create arbitrary nested tables with arbitrary constraints and then the planner tries to detect at run-time which child tables are candidates for the query. See PostgreSQL Partitioning for details.
Resolved Issues
- SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE (in 8.2) : They can be handled with constraint_exclusion.
- TRUNCATE (in 8.4) : TRUNCATE for a parent table is expanded into child tables.
- ANALYZE (in 9.0) : ANALYZE to compute such stats for tables that have subclasses
- MAX()/MIN() (in 9.1) : Smarter partition detection.
- We never exclude the parent table
- We don't handle INSERTs on the parent table
- It requires a lot of manual work to set it up
Overviews of Project Goals
List discussions
- Auto creation of Partitions
- Re: Auto Partitioning Patch - WIP version 1
- Dynamic Partitioning using Segment Visibility Maps
- Named vs Unnamed Partitions
- Storage Model for Partitioning
- Declarative partitioning grammar
- Auto-Partitioning patch discussion
- Partitioning feature
- Transparent table partitioning in future version of PG?
- Comments on automatic DML routing and explicit partitioning subcommands
- Patch for automated partitioning
- Syntax for partitioning
- Partitioning support for COPY
- Scalability of the planner with non trivial number of partitions
Possible Directions
Allow users to declare their intention with partitioned tables. Ie, declare what the partition key is and what range or values are covered by each partition.
I think this would mean two new types of relation. One "meta-table" that acts like a view, in that it doesn't have an attached filenode. It would also have some kind of meta data about the partition key but no view definition, it would act like parent tables in nested table structure do now. The other would be "partition" which would be a separate namespace from tables and would have attached information about what values of the partition key it covered.
- Makes it more reasonable to handle inserts automatically since the structure is explicit and doesn't require making logical deductions.
- More idiot-proof, ie you can't set up nonsensical combinations of constraints.
- Consistent with other databases and DBA expectations.
- Less flexible, you can't set up arbitrary non-traditional structures such as having some data in the parent table or having extra columns in some children.
- Oracle CREATE TABLE syntax
- Partitioning in Oracle 10g
- Partition management in Oracle 10g
- Partition management in Oracle 11g including interval partitions
- MySQL partitioning
First attempts to support auto-partitioning have been made using triggers.
- avoid specific languages such as pgpsql that requires 'CREATE LANGUAGE'
- performance of C trigger 4 to 5 times faster than pgpsql
- insert/copy returns 0 rows when all rows have been routed by trigger from master to child tables
- chaining triggers allow tunable behavior in case of rows not matching any partition: add an error trigger, move to an overflow table, create new partitions dynamically
- constraint_exclusion does not work well with prepared statements. It might possible to convert CHECKs to One-Time Filter plan nodes if the condition is a variable.
Active Work In Progress
Syntax is proposed at "Syntax for partitioning", second version. The syntax resembles Oracle and MySQL. See also Todo#Administration (Simplify ability to create partitioned tables).
-- create partitioned table and child partitions at once. CREATE TABLE parent (...) PARTITION BY [ RANGE | LIST ] ( key ) [ opclass ] [ ( PARTITION child { VALUES LESS THAN { ... | MAXVALUE } -- for RANGE | VALUES [ IN ] ( { ... | DEFAULT } ) -- for LIST } [ WITH ( ... ) ] [ TABLESPACE tbs ] [, ...] ) ] ; -- add a partition key to a table. ALTER TABLE parent PARTITION BY [ RANGE | LIST ] ( key ) [ opclass ] [ (...) ] ; -- create a new partition on a partitioned table. CREATE PARTITION child ON parent VALUES ... ; -- add a table as a partition. ALTER TABLE parent ATTACH PARTITION child VALUES ... ; -- Remove a partition as a normal table. ALTER TABLE parent DETACH PARTITION child ;
Internal representation
On-disk structure is included in the "Syntax for partitioning" patch. On-memory structure will be proposed in a future patch
On-disk structure
A new system table "pg_partition" added. Partition keys are stored in it.
CREATE TABLE pg_catalog.pg_partition ( partrelid oid NOT NULL, -- partitioned table oid partopclass oid NOT NULL, -- operator class to compare keys partkind "char" NOT NULL, -- kind of partition: RANGE or LIST partkey text, -- partition key expression PRIMARY KEY (partrelid), FOREIGN KEY (partrelid) REFERENCES pg_class (oid), FOREIGN KEY (partopclass) REFERENCES pg_opclass (oid) ) WITHOUT OIDS ;
A new column "inhvalues" are added into pg_inherits. Partition values for each partition are stored in it.
ALTER TABLE pg_class.pg_inherits ADD COLUMN inhvalues anyarray ;
- RANGE partition has an upper value of the range in partkey.
- LIST partition has an array with multiple elements in partkey.
- An overflow partition has an empty array in partkey.
- A normal inherited table has a NULL in partkey.
On-memory structure
A cached list of partitions are sorted by partition values and stored in the relcache for the parent table. Changes to the partitions would need to invalidate parent caches to ensure the cache is accurately maintained.
INSERT TRIGGERs will be replaced with specialized tuple-routing feature using on-memory structure. Tuples will be routed in O(log N). It also solve "0 row affected" problem in INSERT TRIGGERs.
CHECK constraints continue to be used for a while.
It would be improved using on-memory structure; instead of CHECK constraints for each child tables, we can use a sorted list in the parent table. Constraint exclusion can be in O(log N) order instead of O(N) of now.
We don't expand those commands for now, but they might have to be expanded like as TRUNCATE.
Future improvements
They are hard to fix in 9.0, but should continue to be improved in the future releases.
- Support SPLIT and MERGE for existing partitions. See also Kedar's patch
- Support UPDATE of partition keys and values.
- Support adding a partition between existing partitions. It requires SPLIT feature.
- Support sub-partitions.
- Support some partition kinds for GIS types. For example, "PARTITION BY GIST" holds partition keys as a GiST tree in on-memory structure.
- Support HASH partitions. Each partition could be a FOREIGN TABLE in SQL/MED. In other words, it is PL/Proxy integration.
- Support CREATE TABLE AS -- CREATE TABLE tbl PARTITION BY ... AS SELECT ...;
- SELECT FOR SHARE/UPDATE for parent tables.
- Prepared statements that uses partition keys in place holders.
- An idea is to convert check constraints into One-Time_Filter [1]
- Unique constraint over multiple partitions, when each partition has a unique index on set/superset of partition keys
- Unique constraints over multiple partitions in the general case (typically called as "global index").
- Optimization for min/max, LIMIT + ORDER BY, GROUP BY on partition keys.
- Optimization when constraint exclusion are used with stable or volatile functions. It is a very common case that the partition key is timestamp and compared with now().
- Join optimization for two partitioned tables.

Did you know that November is Diabetes Awareness Month? I honestly had no idea. I am embarrassed to say that, but I just didn't know. I have been very fortunate to not have diabetes touch my life, or anyone close to me. I recently met someone who has it, but he manages it very quietly, so you would never know. My friend Carolyn, from All Day I Dream About Food is my closest real connection to diabetes. She is constantly in the kitchen doing amazing things, making over the most decadent dish to make it diabetic friendly.
Today many of us are getting together to help spread the word about Diabetes. Did you know that 25.8 million people (adults and children) in the United States have diabetes. In 2010, 1.9 million new cases of diabetes were diagnosed in people 20 years of age and under. It is a wide spread disease that can affect anyone.
Today Carolyn challenged us to share a recipe that was gluten free, lower in carbs, and didn't use any type of sugar. I came up with this Greek yogurt dip. It is a little spicy, and you can never go wrong with chili and lime together. Serve with veggies, or your favorite gluten free crackers for a super healthy snack. You can easily serve this at any party, and no one will ever know that you are serving something healthy!

eCola is a brand of sugary carbonated beverage featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto V, its color implying it is a caricature of Coca-Cola and the logo is similar to Pepsi Cola.
The eCola name first appears in GTA Vice City Stories in the form of red non-interactive vending machines scattered throughout Vice City. In GTA IV, however, eCola vending machines, like those of Sprunk, may be used by the player to replenish their health - however, they only dispense Orang-O-Tang. The player can also purchase an eCola background for their upgraded phone via Vipluxuryringtones.com. Because it competes with Sprunk in the soft drink market, eCola and Sprunk machines can often be found together. In GTA, Yankee trucks may appear with an all-red eCola livery, complete with eCola logos on the sides.
The eCola name is a play on the ecoli bacteria and possibly the Ebola virus; the company's slogan even states the drink is "Deliciously infectious!". The name also sounds like "Ricola", a brand of cough drops.
During Grand Theft Auto V, the player can purchase and drink eCola cans that can be bought from convencience stores.
- In GTA IV, when you buy an eCola from a vending machine, a Sprunk comes out, instead of an eCola.
- ECola is a reference to E.coli, a bacteria that can make people ill, this may imply that ECola is foul-tasting or can make people ill, which is connected to its slogan "Deliciously infectious", however in game it will still heal life points.
- The eCola glass bottles on the vending machines are much like older Dr. Pepper glass bottles.
- The eCola logo has some similitudes with the Orangina logo.
- An eCola Vending Machine can be seen in the Grand Theft Auto V Trailer where Michael is driving near a 24-7 which suggests that replenishing health by Vending Machines is going to return into the game.
- In GTA IV, Sprunk and eCola were competing against each other in the market but in real life Sprite and Coca Cola are both owned by the same company.

The same could be said for using cowardly decks like these. Eye for an eye, they're begging for people to spite them.
Although I'm not one to comment on fights/dumb arguments, I'd have to say this irks me. There are several types of players, and this is being incredibly closed-minded on this subject. It's like you have a lack of theory of mind to go beyond your own thoughts.
Have you ever heard of the story where the child who always wants a game to go her way ends up not being part of the game at all?

Serenity is a special thing at Battlement Mesa Golf Club. A special thing, that is, to the golfers who make their second home there.
"I like the fact there's not much of a crowd," said Orlan Dove, 55, who has played at the golf course constantly for the past 15 years. "It's like you go out there in the afternoon, and it's like you have the whole golf course to yourself."
Then again, it's not like Battlement Mesa is some desert oasis that avid golfers from around the region have trouble finding. The course has more than 100 full-time members, yet it's quaint enough to make the regular players feel like they have their own golf course.
Granted, the dry heat and hot winds that prevail during most afternoons in Battlement Mesa take a toll on the number of people who come out to the course late in the day. But that's just fine for the regulars, who feel the course layout and its challenges are worth coming out every day and teeing off.
"I never get tired of playing here," said John Santos, 64, who moved from Los Angeles to Battlement Mesa to retire. "Back in L.A., there were a lot of courses to choose from and if you played one course all the time, you'd get tired of playing it. Here, you never get tired even though this is really isolated."
The course itself isn't very old - it was built in 1982 - and has it's fair share of obstacles, just like any other course. The Colorado River flows right next to holes 12 through 14 and, although they don't have a tremendous amount of hazards, span close to 1,600 yards combined. They're nicknamed "the gauntlet" on the golf course's web site.
Head golf pro Jason Franke said his advice to golfers new to the course is not to miss the greens to the left.
"You'll get into the most trouble that way," Franke said. "We think it's one of the most challenging courses on the West Slope, but fair. And we keep it in really good shape."
It's the variety - along with the occasional serenity - that keeps Battlement Mesa's regulars coming back.
"It plays fair at all levels," said Frank Ladd, 52, who has been playing the course since 1994. "It's challenging, especially with the wind. But it's a course that will definitely reward you for a good shot and will definitely penalize you if you take a bad shot."

Anticholinergic Agents for Parkinson's Disease
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
How It Works
Anticholinergic medicines block nerve impulses (cholinergic nerve impulses) that help control the muscles of the arms, legs, and body. They also restrict the action of acetylcholine, an important chemical messenger in the brain (like dopamine) that helps regulate muscle movement, sweat gland function, and intestinal function.
For normal motor or muscle control, the effects of acetylcholine and dopamine need to be carefully balanced. When dopamine levels are low (as they are in people who have Parkinson's disease), a chemical imbalance results, causing symptoms such as tremor and rigid muscles. Anticholinergic medicines decrease levels of acetylcholine to achieve a closer balance with dopamine levels.
Why It Is Used
Anticholinergics may be used in younger people who have Parkinson's disease and whose main symptom is tremor.
How Well It Works
There is some evidence that anticholinergics work well to control tremor in Parkinson's disease.1
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
- Signs of an overdose, such as:
- Seizures.
- Severe drowsiness.
- Fast heartbeat.
- Hallucinations.
- Mood or mental changes.
- Unusual warmth, dryness, or flushing of the skin.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- Eye pain.
- Confusion.
- Skin rash.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Blurred vision.
- Constipation.
- Decreased sweating.
- Difficult or painful urination.
- Dry mouth, nose, or throat.
- Increased sensitivity of the eyes to light.
- Nausea or vomiting.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Dry mouth is common with these medicines. To help with dry mouth, you can chew sugarless gum, suck on sugarless candy, or melt ice in your mouth. If you continue to have problems with dry mouth after a couple of weeks, call your doctor. Dry mouth can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
People who take anticholinergics need to be careful while driving or performing other tasks that require alertness, because these medicines may impair mental and physical abilities.
If you have the eye disease glaucoma, talk with an eye doctor before you start taking anticholinergics. People who have glaucoma may need to be watched more closely while they are taking these medicines. Your doctor may want you to have your eyes examined before starting this medicine and again during treatment.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Assassin's Creed III continues the stealth, action and open-world gameplay that is the series' trademark, transporting the action to the American Revolution in the late 1800s. Our new Assassin is Connor Kenway – half-English, half-Native American, and taking orders from General George Washington himself…
Assassin's Creed on PlayStation 3 features:
- The largest and most ambitious Assassin's Creed Game yet
- Action in the city and in the wild frontier
- More missions with greater control on how you choose to play
- Traditional stealth and parkour gameplay
- Immense new Naval battles
- The final chapter in Desmond's story
- PlayStation 3 Exclusive Content
The Frontier is a wide open wilderness that offers more unique challenges than ever before. From rocky cliff faces to heavy wooded areas, Connor is equally at home climbing and navigating trees and ledges as he is taking out enemies on the ground. And it's not just about stalking foes both British and Templar; this game gives you the chance to animals as well as your human prey.
City-based gameplay still plays a big part, with fantastic and densely-packed recreations of Boston and New York. On top of this, a new dynamic weather system is in place that brings real changes to the action with the changes of the seasons. When winter comes, rivers freeze bringing a change to the geography and allowing you to adapt to the terrain like never before. Enemy soldiers also adapt, becoming colder and slower and easier to pick off!
With larger-scale locations and a longer time-span, the way you execute your missions has evolved, too. New mission delivery systems like Clubs allow you to accept and carry out more than one mission at a time. With different tasks to balance and more freedom to accept missions when it suits you, Assassin's Creed III offers more control over how you play the game, and promises a more personal and layered experience.
The traditional stealth and combat returns in Assassin's Creed III, now looking and moving better than ever thanks to the new Ubisoft-AnvilNext engine. Connor is perhaps the most nimble Assassin yet, with hard –hitting combat and free-flowing parkour moves amongst the buildings, trees and everywhere else! He's not only armed with the traditional Assassin's knife, but has a trusty tomahawk with a blade shaped like the Assassin's symbol.
Naval combat makes its debut in Assassin's Creed III. For the first time, the action can take to the high seas as massive galleons blast each other apart with cannons in ship-to-ship combat. You'll have different kinds of ammo at your disposal, from traditional cannonballs to grape shot for shrapnel. Modify your cannonballs for even greater damage – chain two together for maximum impact, or set it ablaze and set your enemy on fire. Get close enough and you can even board enemy vessels for hand-to-hand combat with the opposing crew. And thanks to the new mission system, naval battles can be as big – or as small – a part of your story as you like.
Assassin's Creed III also marks the end of Desmond Miles' story as he relives his ancestors' lives for the last time. Return to the Animus once more and live the revolution in Assassin's Creed III!
PlayStation 3 Exclusive Content with 60 minutes of additional gameplay : Benedict Arnold Mission
The morale of the Patriot Troops is at an all-time low and to make matters worse, George Washington has caught wind of a plot via the Culper Ring to expose the vital fort at West Point, threatening to utterly deflate his army and with it his changes of succeeding in the Revolution. With no one left to trust, Washington looks to the one man he knows who can quietly uncover and foil the scheme; Connor. Experience the betrayal that made the name Benedict Arnold synonymous with the phrase "turncoat" for hundreds of years to come, exclusive to PlayStation 3*

Below you will find some useful information in regards to Property Taxes.
Click here for a brief explanation of how taxes are calculated and distributed. Including simple examples of each.
Tax statements are mailed out approximately February 15th each year. Current year first half property taxes are due by April 30th. Second half property taxes are due by October 31st. If the tax amount is less than $50.00, the entire amount is due April 30th. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a County observed holiday, then payment will be accepted the next business day.
For billing and other tax questions, contact the Treasurer's Office.
Delinquent taxes are subject to interest and penalties calculated as follows:
If our office has mailed the tax statement to the address provided by the taxpayer or the taxpayer's agent (such as a closing attorney) under Washington law, we cannot waive the interest and/or penalty if the payment is late.
Please refer to the Assessor's Office for more information.
The Spokane County Treasurer's Office offers many convenient ways to pay your taxes.
Property tax statements are mailed once per year (generally by mid February) and contain two payment coupons for payments due 4/30 & 10/31. If you have not received a statement by March 31st, please contact the Treasurer's Office or call (509) 477-4713. It's possible we may have an incorrect mailing address, a mortgage company may be paying your taxes, or we may be holding the statement for an adjustment that needs to be made prior to mailing (i.e. senior or disability exemptions). Failure to receive a Property Tax Statement does not exempt the taxpayer from timely payment of the taxes due. If you have not received a Tax Statement by March 31st, please contact us at 509-477-4713 or fill out a Statement Request form to request a copy of your current statement.
If you receive a postcard which states "COURTESY/INFORMATION ONLY" at the top, our records show that you or your agent has instructed us to bill a mortgage company for the taxes on this parcel. If this is incorrect, you need to pay the taxes prior to the due date to avoid delinquent charges. Under Washington Law, it is the taxpayer's responsibility to insure taxes are paid on their property.
If you wish to change the name or mailing address on your statement, please contact our office. You can also change your name/address online or download the request form. Click here for more information. You may only request a taxpayer change through the Treasurer's Office.
Any request for owner name/address change must be done through the Assessor's Office. A legal document such as a deed, real estate contract, divorce decree, death certificate, or a court document must be provided. Please remember to include your parcel number(s) for any of these requests.
When a taxpayer pays off a mortgage during the tax year, they must contact this office to update their billing information and request a duplicate bill. Click here for more information. You may only request a taxpayer change through the Treasurer's Office.
Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve the responsibility for payment, nor constitute cause for cancelation of interest, penalty and/or cost charges if the tax bill becomes delinquent.
If you have misplaced your statement, a new one can be faxed, emailed or mailed to you. You can also request a statement online or download the request form. For more information, go to the Request Forms section.
If you have further questions, please see our FAQ page with much more information in regards to taxes and assessments.
