The 15 Most Insane Content Warnings About Famous Movies
Picking a movie to watch with your children (or other people's children, in case you're babysitting them or have gained sole custody of them because you're Michael Keaton in One Good Cop and their father was your longtime partner ruthlessly killed in the line of duty) can be a difficult task, particularly if you love watching Barb Wire every night and are terrible at parenting.
Gramercy Pictures/Dark Horse Entertainment
"Gather 'round, children! It's story time!"
Luckily, the Internet Movie Database has a helpful Parent Guide for each of its cataloged titles that, like the rest of its user-submitted content, seems to have been written exclusively by time-traveling demonologists from the 1920s.
According to the website, each IMDb Parent Guide is meant "to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes" in a given movie. This is another way of saying that the Parents Guide is a forum in which viewers with a limited grasp of sentence structure and social convention come to voice their concerns about the level of child-appropriateness of a specific movie and wind up writing the most insane things ever recorded in a pronounceable language. The credo of "describing the facts" is taken to the same slavishly tone-deaf degree as a team of robot archaeologists trying to recreate 21st century customs based on a stack of Steven Seagal DVDs they excavated from the radiation-blasted ruins of a Galveston Walmart.
Instead of informative content descriptions for parents, we end up with painstakingly detailed accounts of every violent and/or sexual act in the film, completely free of context. Reading an IMDb Parent Guide is like prying the flight recorder out of the fused metal wreckage at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and playing it back to discover 10,000 hours of unbroken screaming. They make every movie sound like an unflinching surrealist nightmare about the depths of human depravity as described by a puritanical android. If you made a flipbook of the following 15 examples, it would transport you to a photonegative reality full of tarantulas and spoiled meat.
#15. The Goonies
Warner Bros./Amblin Entertainment
It becomes immediately clear that the automaton tasked with watching The Goonies found his pelvic mechanism challenged by "the tennis girl":
A girl wears a very short tennis skirt throughout the film.
There are several brief glimpses of the tennis girl's underwear throughout the film. This is in no way portrayed sexually.
I like to picture him confusedly typing out that last sentence in bitter frustration. He's not merely reporting that the teenage girl isn't being sexualized -- he's goddamned astonished that each incidental glimpse of her underpants isn't being played up for optimal groin hammering. I swear it almost says "Why the fuck isn't it being portrayed sexually? Is there a director's cut?"
Warner Bros./Amblin Entertainment
So he refocuses his robot envy on the children in the film who are legally permitted to kiss her:
A teen boy and girl kiss.
A preteen boy kisses a teen girl (she thinks he's the teen boy in the dark). She wonders afterward that [he] has braces.
It continues:
A man slips and falls, landing astride a log, hurting his groin.
Warner Bros./Amblin Entertainment
Seen here.
That sentence actually appears twice in the Parent Guide under two different sections: "Violence and Gore" and "Frightening/Intense Scenes." This is because robots do not understand slapstick:
Men wrestle/knock heads/try to choke each other.
A boy is sometimes mildly injured by his own inventions. These incidents are played for gags.
Reading those sentences is like having a knock-knock joke explained to you by a mortician.
Finally we have this tidbit, which leaves absolutely no doubt that Sexual Frustration Bot's compassion circuits have malfunctioned:
The image of the retarded and physically deformed man may scare younger audiences.
Warner Bros./Amblin Entertainment
That might as well say "The face of the circus human might inject terror into gentle child-persons."
#14. Aladdin
Walt Disney Pictures
A huge camel Eaton plays dirty with Aladdin.
I can't even think of the scene this maniac is struggling to reference. It's like they typed up an excerpt from their dream journal by mistake.
Also, Jasmine's father says "Praise Allah!" when they're talking about her getting married.
This is listed under "Frightening/Intense Scenes."
#13. Tango & Cash
Warner Bros.
Tango and Cash are seen naked from behind walking into a shower.
Sexual Frustration Bot's processors were simply not built to endure such a powerful sensory overload as the combined nude mountain ranges of 1980s Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell. He is politely warning us of dude butts in advance, so that we do not suffer the same fate.
Warner Bros.
While Cash is tied to a chair, a woman sits straddling his lap and moves suggestively. It is implied that she may be having sex with him while he is unable to do anything about it.
She might be having sex with him. We cannot know for certain.
In one scene, Cash appears to be having sex with Tango's sister, but she's really just massaging him.
You can actually hear the disappointment in that sentence. The Parent Guide for Tango & Cash is like a missive of betrayed erections had while watching the film.
#12. The Three Musketeers
Walt Disney Pictures
First things first -- there are a whole lot of women in The Three Musketeers, and apparently almost all of them have breasts:
One long cleavage shot. The heroes have women falling all over them and most of the women are [about] to fall out of their costumes -- lots of heaving bosoms.
Walt Disney Pictures
"What was that? I couldn't hear you over all the heaving bosoms."
A woman takes a bath and appears nudes from the waist up, we see her bare back.
But don't you try to grab those breasts. They don't belong to you:
A man tries to grope a woman who pulls a knife on him, placing it at his private area.
In the background of all those heaving bosoms are a whole bunch of people getting horrifically murdered:
A man is whipped and then stabbed.
Several men are crushed by a falling chandelier.
The dungeon scenes are pretty intense with a man getting killed by spikes.
Walt Disney Pictures
"... wait, what happened to the bosoms?"
That sounds like the Dish Network synopsis of Hatred Porn 4: Swashbuckling Nudity Barons and Their Unstoppable Boners of Violence. It's like a Mad Lib confiscated from that kid in third grade who wore the same oversized Simpsons T-shirt every day and got sent home for masturbating in the coat room. I've seen The Three Musketeers more times than I've seen most of my relatives -- the most objectionable thing about that film is the fact that Bryan Adams teamed up with Rod Stewart and Sting to record the theme song, and only Sting thought to bring an instrument.
A&M Records
"Seriously? Jesus, you guys could at least slap some fucking bongos or something."
But according to the IMDb Parents Guide, The Three Musketeers is the cinematic equivalent of a shoebox full of pornography and nails. It is as appropriate a gift for children as a paint-by-numbers kit where the only available colors are blood and semen.
#11. Predator 2
20th Century Fox
Some time-paradoxical calculotron sat down to record every single utterance of the word "fuck" in Predator 2, but hit their data ceiling at "around 69" and stopped counting:
Around 69 f-words (possibly more). A few s-word. Lots of other swearing as well.
They do allow for the possibility of more F-words, but you can go punch yourself in the motherfucking face if you think they're going to count any further than that.
20th Century Fox
"There's probably like two or three 'fucks' here, right? Let's say three."
#10. Ichi the Killer
Media Blasters
I will be the first to admit that children have no business watching Ichi the Killer. The Parents Guide doesn't really need to go any further than this sentence:
A woman has her nipples and labia cut off, these are seen being pulled by a clamp briefly.
If you are a parent and you need more information than that before deciding whether or not to add Ichi the Killer to the Family Movie Night rotation, you are doing it wrong. But the heroes of the IMDb Parents Guide don't want to take that chance, so they detail several more examples of the movie's objectionable material to help inform your decision (be warned -- there is no line of decency that Ichi the Killer won't cross):
Men are seen topless.
Yep. Good luck trying to explain that scene to your children, if you can manage to get them to stop crying for long enough.
#9. The Monster Squad
TriStar Pictures
Most of the swearing comes from the mouths of the kids.
It doesn't help that one of the most bizarre concerns you could possibly level at a movie is phrased like a shape-shifting alien trying to blend in with human society.
A kid calls his friend "buttlove."
This is starting to read like a serial killer's enemies list. I'm pretty sure that last sentence was written in lipstick.
A teenage boy with binoculars checks out a teenage girl undressing (no nudity is seen, just underwear).
I'm beginning to think Sexual Frustration Bot must be the Parents Guide content editor. If not, I'd like to know the name of the champion who does hold that job, because I'd like to send him or her a handsome trophy for masterminding the publication of my favorite sentence in the history of the universe:
Frankenstein's monster accidentally takes a photo of a teenage girl next door undressing (no nudity is seen).
TriStar Pictures
"He then accidentally gets the film developed at Rite Aid and spends 20 minutes in the bathroom
making noises like a deaf person playing Pictionary."
#8. Conan the Barbarian
Universal Pictures/20th Century Fox
It is insinuated that Conan has sex in one scene.
Universal Pictures/20th Century Fox
Because Conan is a master of subtlety.

Be it resolved
Be it resolved
by Jeff Stevenson
The author is professor of animal sciences at Kansas State University, Manhattan.
Another year has arrived in our dairy industry. What will it bring? More rain when needed? Better milk prices? Greater success in your dairy business?
A new year is always a time to look back and reflect on the past and the present. In addition, it provides an opportunity to make changes that bring more satisfaction in your job of providing one of mother nature's most perfect foods — milk.
Some needed resolutions
1. Are you managing too many things in your dairy business? Are you delegating responsibility to your employees and giving them the authority to carry out assigned tasks and protocols?
Often we tell people what to do and walk away. The better solution might just be showing them or working alongside them to create a greater understanding, especially when dealing with our own children. Feeding cows is a good example. Is the ration designed on paper by the nutritionist the same one that was mixed by the feeder and the same one consumed by the cows? Carefully managing details and clearly communicating with others is a talent.
Be it resolved to improve communications to avoid misunderstanding. One wise person said that "although it is essential to communicate for understanding, it is more critical to communicate to prevent misunderstanding."
2. As a dairy producer, you rely on many people to be successful. Do you have regular sit-down, worthwhile meetings with your management team? If you are using outside consultants as part of your team, is everyone on the same page? Does your team function well or is there too much finger-pointing? Is your veterinary practitioner involved in all the details of your fresh cow protocols, vaccination program, breeding program and mastitis prevention? When your milking machine supplier or other salespeople present you with the newest widget, is your management team involved in reviewing its merits?
Reward competent people on your team. Counsel together to find the best solution to problems. In other words, lay the problem on the table, don't express your opinion to start, seek input from everyone and then make a more informed decision. Synergism occurs in these council sessions — the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.
Be it resolved to identify and address all bottlenecks that limit success.
3. Good team leaders "inspect what they expect." Seek your employees' ideas. Because your employees are "where the rubber meets the road" every day, they often have great insights to making procedures work more smoothly. Asking their advice validates your trust in them as a team player and leads to greater job satisfaction and a more harmonious outcome.
Be it resolved to follow through with your employees when changes are implemented to assess whether the new strategy is working as planned.
4. Are you satisfied with your herd's pregnancy rate? What can you do differently to improve your A.I. breeding program? Could you do a better job of identifying more cows in estrus?
We have new tools to help identify estrus-related traits such as measuring activity. Currently, nearly a dozen companies are marketing activity monitoring systems. These systems utilize different technologies to assess activity, but nearly all compare each cow's activity to her own recent past. Cow activity clearly spikes during estrus: more time is spent walking, mounting, sniffing, butting and bellowing in lieu of feeding, ruminating and resting.
Be it resolved to investigate new ways in which you might more successfully identify cows in heat, including the time-tested method of watching cows.
5. We often hear frustrations expressed by dairy producers and veterinary practitioners that program X or Y is not meeting their expectations for producing pregnancies. When testing the same breeding programs in multiple herds, it is common to find differences in herd pregnancy rates. Not all programs work similarly in all herd situations. As you know, many factors influence fertility and can limit the success of the best-designed and proven A.I. breeding program.
Some of these factors include:
- Feeding program (adequate energy and proper proportions of bypass and rumen-degradable protein)
- Cow comfort in free stalls and elsewhere
- Somatic cell count (mastitis reduces conception rates and can cause abortion)
- Gentle handling of cows during movements to the parlor and elsewhere
- Good hygiene in calving pens, in far-off dry cow pens and in free stalls
- Plenty of fresh water
- Good footing
W. D. Hoard penned his tribute to the dairy cow 128 years ago: "The cow is the foster mother of the human race. From the day of the ancient Hindoo to this time have the thoughts of men turned to this kindly and beneficent creature as one of the chief sustaining forces of human life."
Be it resolved to sharpen those old fashion but critical husbandry skills and better care for this wonderful creature we call the dairy cow!
6. Last, but never least: Be it resolved to spend more time with your spouse and children. Those kids grow-up too fast and too soon leave the nest. Take advantage of each day because you never know when it will be your last. Have a successful new year.

A British Army officer BASE jumped from Kansas City's Liberty Memorial on Monday morning.
Click here for images of the jump | Click here to watch the jump
The daredevil, Major Alastair Macartney, made the 217 foot BASE jump just after 7 a.m.
Macartney said he made the jump to raise awareness for members of the Armed Forces and the upcoming centennial at the National World War I Museum.
"It's incredible," Macartney said. "I had a lot of fear and focus, but the fear then started to go. Because I had to focus."
"Even without looking, I knew it opened perfectly as needed," Macartney said.
After jumping, Macartney presented a veteran of the Vietnam War with an American flag.
"It meant a lot to be able to do that," Macartney said.

If you'd like to be placed on an email list announcing events and information about the Depth Psychology program, please click here to submit your information.
M.A. in Psychology, Depth Psychology Emphasis
The Master's in Psychology degree offers an emphasis in depth psychology with a curriculum centered on the psychology of C. G. Jung. Students learn the basic concepts and theories of Jungian psychology, learn basic methods and skills of in-depth work, survey worldwide cross-cultural mythological and symbolic motifs, learn research methods and group facilitation skills, complete a 3 unit internship, and author a second year paper in an area of their passionate interest. Small seminars in selected topics in the second year complete the experience.
What Students Say
Students describe the program as fundamentally altering the way they experience their lives. In addition to teaching skills in depth inquiry, teaching, group work, and facilitating transformation in individuals, it catalyzes the students' own transformation. The program provides a container for exploring, experimenting with, and developing new and creative parts of the self. It calls on head and heart: it's both academically rigorous and experientially rich.
What Graduates Do
Alumni go on to develop depth-oriented programs in the community; teach psychology at community colleges and universities; work in mental health, human resources, and community non-profits; facilitate groups; pursue doctoral degrees in clinical psychology, depth psychology, and mythological studies; and deepen their engagement in their family, work, and community lives.
The skills developed in the program are useful for anyone who desires to work with others on a deeper level, teachers and facilitators particularly. Activists in community work, ecology and nature-based programs, rites of passage work, community ritual, and art find that the program inspires them and engages their initiative. Those with a vision of a society grounded in community may find that the program offers them skills and a vocabulary to bring their vision into the world in their particular field of interest.
Program Prerequisites
Program prerequisites are in child or adult development, personality, abnormal psychology, and research methods. Competency equivalents are discussed with the Program Coordinator, Laurel McCabe.
The accreditation process offers assurance that academic programs meet the specific educational standards of the accrediting body. While there is no accrediting body for depth psychology academic programs (as there are, for example, for counseling and clinical programs), the program is accredited through Sonoma State's institutional accreditation, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

Soaring kid gymnast becomes flying reindeer in 'The Gift of Christmas'
Just a few months ago I watched nine-year-old Abigail Moriearty practice gymnastics for my September story on tips to keep young gymnasts safe. So what's Abigail doing now? She's a dancing Reindeer in The Gift of Christmas at Prestonwood Baptist Church. The show continues at 7 p.m. tonight and Friday and Saturday and Sunday at 2 and 7 p.m.
When she's not helping Santa fly his sleigh, she continues to work on her gymnastics skills. She was invited to participate in the Acro Cup in Kansas City, MO in March; that's one of the qualifiers for the USA National Team and World Championships in France in 2014.

WHERE HE STANDS: 31st, 38 points out of the top 10. Lost 11 spots last week.
BRISTOL RECORD: 12 top-10 finishes in 22 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Newman "really enjoys racing at Bristol. I enjoy the re-configuration of the track. I hope we'll have a tire there this weekend that will allow us to use all three or four lanes of the track. It's just a great race track and a great short track. I love the fact that it's concrete and doesn't seem like it changes a whole lot. Once you get a car right, it's typically right for 500 laps, which is difficult to get on some of the race tracks. Honestly, there's no place like Bristol."
LOOKING BACK: Newman suffered engine failure late in the Las Vegas race and finished 38th. Newman was quick to blame himself for the blown engine. "I missed a shift," said Newman. "I missed a shift because of the restart, but that's my responsibility, not those guys in front of me. It's entirely on me. I could point fingers at the final restart, but it was still my fault."
ETC.: Newman feels "patience" is really important at Bristol "because it can be a track that really challenges your mentality. There, more so than most race tracks, it's that mental stamina of controlling your emotions and controlling the race car according to your emotions and making the best of all the situations you are in. Bristol is different every time you come there. It can be a lot of green-flag runs and a lot of single-file racing, or it can be crazy and it can get randomly crazier."

"I was surprised to get an invitation from SCETV's Amanda McNulty, host of 'Making It Grow,' asking if I could be a guest on the program. At first, I was hesitant about being a guest, as I had little TV experience," Judy Thornton of Summerville, owner of JuJu's Gourmet, explained.
"You just talk about your food products, tell us what your customers say, respond to our questions about your business and be yourself," advised McNulty, "You will enjoy the experience, and the publicity will be good for you."
"I agreed to the appearance and it has turned out to be one of the high points in the development of my business," added Thornton. The growth of her business traces Judy's passion for food preparation back to the young age of 5 when she learned the art of biscuit making from her grandmother. On her website www.jujusgourmet.com, she explains her grandmother's advice about how to bake biscuits; she continues to use that advice to make her biscuits rise to perfection.
"Little did I know then that this advice would lead me to open a commercial operation right here in Summerville to provide my products to customers and retail stores in Summerville and Orangeburg," she proudly said.
While her business is located in a former 1200 square foot home which she purchased in 2011, it is in every way a commercial kitchen, maintaining the characteristics of her grandmother's southern home, which is so much a part of the business culture.
Looking back, she told how she expanded JuJu's scope of operations. "I joined the South Carolina Food Association in 2011 and became active in its program to expand awareness of various foods made within the state. This led me to meet Jackie Moore, Executive Director of the Association, who advised me to create a web site and do more advertising to improve my markets. She told me about the ETV program 'Making It Grow' and how it might be able to help me publicize my local products in South Carolina," she explained.
"Mrs. Moore talked to me about my business. I explained how my products were gaining acceptance here and how we would like to show them to a larger audience. This led to my appearance on the show where we were able to showcase my pimento cheese, biscuits and sweet tea cinnamon rolls. I enjoyed being on TV, as I spent most of a day in the studio as we planned, rehearsed my portion, and then we went 'live' on the ETV network. I can't thank the ETV team enough as they helped me display products so attractively and gave me a few 'pointers' to improve my interview," Judy said.
During the TV show, Judy pointed out one of the key advantages JuJu's offers.
"Not only do our customers love our recipes, but they like the extra convenience of being able to take home our products for baking and serving. Being frozen they stay ready to be baked and served whenever desired for a meal," she said.
Thornton also pointed out local people who have helped her.
"Mr. K and his, son, Jim have really been helpful to me in getting started as my initial location for retail display and sales. They gave some really good ideas about marketing. Our local outlets have grown to include Single Smile Café and Accent on Wine in downtown Summerville, Mr. K's Piggly Wiggly stores on Cedar Street and in Knightsville, and in Orangeburg at Five Rivers Farmers' & Gourmet Market, she added. Judy is also looking for additional retail locations in Charleston and in Berkeley County. "We don't want to be everywhere, but we desire to have our products on sale in stores that feature local, specialty foods," she added.
Today's Judy's food items number over 22 and they be can ordered on her website at www.jujusgourmet.com, on Facebook, or by calling her at 843-225-6549.
Being a small business she is especially thankful for the help she has received. She saluted her family, her spiritual brother Chris, her wonderful friends, SCORE counselor, and the ETV team at Making It Grow. "Of course, I have to thank my local customers for selecting JuJu's Gourmet," she said.
Thornton said she is proud to have her own business.
"I encourage anyone thinking of opening a business to give it serious thought and then work to make the idea become a reality. I appreciate each of my customers and work diligently to insure that all are pleased with our recipes and the final dish they bake at home," she said.
People sometimes ask me how I selected the name JuJu's Gourmet.
"My godson couldn't pronounce Judy, so he called me 'JuJu' instead. As a family we settled on the nickname 'JuJu'. The nickname stuck and I decided to use it in business, as it is unique. Now I am finding that my customers like it too," she added.
The latest development in her success is the recent approval of her service mark – "tastes reminiscent of your grandmother's southern kitchen" which she proudly uses to give her products a more professional look.
JuJu's Gourmet is located at 700 Central Ave. in Summerville and can be found on line at www.jujusgourment.com. The company is celebrating its second anniversary in October.
The program 'Making It Grow,' is produced by South Carolina Educational Television in cooperation with Clemson University.
JuJu's Gourmet LLC is located at 700 Central Ave in Summerville.

Staged by Nova Scotia's 2b theatre company, The God That Comes is Hawksley Workman's intoxicating one-man cabaret, pop and glam rock hybrid that recreates the story of Bacchus, the Greco-Roman god of wine, using Euripides' The Bacchae as a primary source. In a world ruled by a greedy and oppressive king, the lesser classes let loose in a hedonistic spiritual revolution fuelled by wine, ritual madness and ecstasy. The party, however, comes to a halt when the king orchestrates a violent confrontation against his protesters.

quote: Keep drinking the gay-infused Apple Fail-Aid(TM), kid.
quote: How? When iOS 6 was released, given the typical rapid uptake of iOS updates, Google lost in a period of just a few weeks access to the location data generated by hundreds of millions of iOS users. That's a significant loss to Google. If it wasn't a loss why not just leave iOS in the lurch, not release a Google iOS mapping app, and punt Google mapping as an Android USP? Google doesn't just want that data, it needs it.
quote: Why are so many Apple haters homophobic?
quote: Google's Directionless Map StrategyGoogle's Android strategy is inconsistent and incomprehensible. Apple never would have created its own mapping program at all if Google hadn't denied Apple audible turn-by-turn directions. Now – after Apple has integrated their own maps into their iOS operating system – Google gives Apple everything they ever wanted. How does that make any sense?If Google wanted to deny Apple access to features that were on Android, then they shouldn't have created Google Maps for iOS. If they wanted iOS eyeballs, then they should have given Apple turn-by-turn directions BEFORE Apple effectively un-integrated Google maps. The whole affair was completely counter-productive for all involved.You can't have it both ways. Either Google should be in the business of being on every mobile platform or Google should be in the business of Android. Trying to pursue both strategies is like trying to keep one foot on the dock and the other on the boat. You can't get anywhere and it's going to sink you sooner or later.

quote: Single, Angry, Straight Male... Seeks Same? A classic study reveals that young homophobic men have secret gay urges Both groups—non-homophobic and homophobic men—showed significant engorgement to the straight and lesbian porn and their subjective ratings of arousal matched their penile plethsymograph measure for these two types of video. However, as predicted, only the homophobic men showed a significant increase in penile circumference in response to the gay male porn. urthermore, the homophobic men significantly underestimated their degree of sexual arousal to the gay male porn.In another study, the homophobic group delivered more intense shocks and for longer durations when they thought the person in the other room was gay. On the subjective ratings of mood, the major difference between the two groups was on the dimension of anger-hostility: non-homophobics showed a small positive blip in the radar on this dimension while the homophobics showed a dramatic increase in anger-hostility between the pre-video measure of mood and the post-video rating. These data suggest that homoerotic stimuli—such as seeing two men holding hands—could send an already angry homophobic man over the top.
quote: Homophobia is more pronounced in individuals with an unacknowledged attraction to the same sex and who grew up with authoritarian parents who forbade such desires, a series of psychology studies demonstrates."In many cases these are people who are at war with themselves and they are turning this internal conflict outward."The paper includes four separate experiments, conducted in the United States and Germany, with each study involving an average of 160 college students. The findings provide new empirical evidence to support the psychoanalytic theory that the fear, anxiety, and aversion that some seemingly heterosexual people hold toward gays and lesbians can grow out of their own repressed same-sex desires, Ryan says. The results also support the more modern self-determination theory, developed by Ryan and Edward Deci at the University of Rochester, which links controlling parenting to poorer self-acceptance and difficulty valuing oneself unconditionally.
quote: Why are so many Apple haters homophobic? Why is homophobia still tolerated and almost mainstream on forums such as this?

JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
Local first-responders have answered many an equine-emergency summons, but it has always involved an injured rider.
But after two days of training last weekend, seven Upper Pine Fire Protection District firefighters feel confident they could rescue the mount, too, Capt. Cate Harding said.
The training, at Colorado Trails Ranch, was provided by Code 3 Associates, which is called to disasters nationwide and in Canada to provide large-animal rescues, mainly horses and cattle.
Massive wildfires that burned throughout the West this summer highlighted the challenge that rescuing large animals and livestock can pose. Code 3 often is called in to lend a hand not only with fires, but also floods and hurricanes.
As an extension of its mission, the Longmont firm gives law-enforcement and animal-control officers, firefighters and veterinarians across the country the basics on how to rescue livestock, executive director Jim Boller said.
He was in New Mexico last week and will be in Nevada this week.
�Most participants already are familiar with helping people,� Boller said. �We incorporate the livestock aspect into their training.�
On the first day at Colorado Trails Ranch, participants learned about equine physiology and behavior and became familiar with the equipment they�d use when they left the classroom.
The next morning, they practiced using two scenarios. In the first, a woman�s horse, toppled by a spooked horse she was leading, pinned her to the ground on a mountain slope and couldn�t get to its feet.
The victim was Jane Giese, a Code 3 employee. Giese�s mount was Lucky, an 800-pound stallion made of vulcanized rubber. The spooked horse was for real.
Boller and Eric Thompson, also from Code 3, watch but the students are on their own. As one of them catches the loose horse, the others stabilize the victim who has a dislocated shoulder and walk her to a safe location.
They then place the horse on a slide � a sheet of rubberized material � and with a pulley system anchored to a tree uphill, haul the horse to safety.
The second rescue involves a horse that has fallen from a 60-foot cliff. The rescuers rappel down to the equine, assemble a metal A-frame and lift the horse � Lucky again � to the top.
�We haven�t had occasion to rescue a horse, but we get called fairly regularly for riders who have fallen off or been bucked off their horse,� Harding said. �We have a lot of ravines here and a lot of people who don�t known how to ride well.�
The training oriented about one-third of Upper Pine�s full-time firefighters on how to rescue a horse in distress, Harding said.
Only one of the seven students, Russ Roberts with Colorado Mounted Search and Rescue from Pagosa Springs, wasn�t an Upper Pine employee. Harding�s co-workers were Josh Schmidt, Dayson Goetz, Mark Caldwell, Charles Bennett, Jonathan Schultheiss and Mike North.
North also is maintenance and herd health manager at Colorado Trails Ranch.
�We�ve never had a horse rescue here,� North said. �But in case we do, I can get things started until others arrive.�
Code 3 is a nonprofit. Its courses are certified by Colorado State University and its veterinary teaching hospital.
Boller has been around animals most of his working life. He transported zoo animals for 15 years before working as an animal-control officer in Maryland for seven years and in Texas for 11 years.
Back-to-back hurricanes Katrina and Rita kept him on the Gulf Coast for 3� months. He also was on standby during recent Hurricane Isaac.
Code 3 doesn�t back away from any animal rescue, Boller said. He walked an elephant out of a flooded zoo in Texas, and during Hurricane Ike in Galveston, he removed a student�s hissing cockroaches from a high school because officials worried they would escape and infest the neighborhood.
Code 3 has conducted animal-cruelty investigation training and an equine-investigation academy at Colorado Trails Ranch for 28 years.
Officials in small communities do well to familiarize their emergency responders with animal rescue, which, after Hurricane Katrina, is being required in a number of states, Boller said.
�They don�t require a lot of expensive gear they might use only once or twice a year,� Boller said. �They probably carry 60 to 70 percent of what they need � webbing, caribiners and pulleys � in their vehicles.�

Avril Lavigne Engaged to Nickelback's Chad Kroeger
Avril Lavigne and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger's relationship has been so quiet that few even knew they were dating. Now, after a six-month courtship, the Canadian rockers are engaged to be married, Lavigne's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
Lavigne, 27, and Kroeger, 37, first got together in February to co-write a song for Lavigne's upcoming fifth studio album.
"A romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together," a Lavigne pal tells PEOPLE.
On Aug. 8, Kroeger popped the question, presenting Lavigne with a 14-carat diamond sparkler.
"He makes her so happy," a family source tells PEOPLE. "Both of their families could not be more excited."
It will be Kroeger's first trip down the aisle, and the second marriage for Lavigne, who split from Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley in 2009. She had also dated Brody Jenner.

From 30th November the Kitzbueheler Hinterstadt returns again to its wonderful display of 26 kiosks and stands displaying a wonderful Christmas atmosphere, with so many delightful items for every gift imaginable, from culinary delicacies to traditional handicrafts and more precious presents than you can imagine! Not to forget the lovely "hot drinks".
The Glockenstube (Belfry) is the bell tower in town. This year, there has been such a demand for the little trading kiosks and booths, the market has been extended to include also the Glockenstube. It now begins at the BH Hof (Laternenhof), through the Hinterstadt down to the Town Hall Square (Belfry).
The market organizer has beeen complimented for his achievement in the success in the past for the quality of the kiosks and stalls with super items and products which will be on offer and display.
Alexandria Gieringer-Fabi, from the event agency Murdock, who are responsible for the overall organization and implementation, welcomed the increased participation of the Kitzbuehler clubs, companies and craftsman,
The most popular classic attractions from the last year will be available together with some new interests.
Some of this year's attractions will include:
A visit to the 'Stroking zoo', to go pony riding and to listen to traditional children Christmas stories. These are read out every day the market is open:
On Saturdays, A Children's Day
The children can draw angels or bake scones with Michaela. An opportunity to write a letter to the Father Christmas shouldn't be missed. They can write down or draw their own special Christmas wishes, then afterwards post them directly from the Christmas Market Post. Who knows maybe one or two wishes may come true.
This year there is a variety of musical performances which will include choral singers and groups from all the region. A new offer this year, is the Christmas CD, compiled by various local groups, which has been produced and on sale at the market. The proceeds go towards helping needy families have a better Christmas

We must communicate to cattle's senses
We must communicate to cattle's senses
Cows interpret their environment using the five senses. Remain aware of which senses you are stimulating.
by Heather Smith Thomas
Thomas is an author of many livestock books and owns a beef cattle herd with her husband in Salmon, Idaho. She wrote this series with Paul Rapnicki, D.V.M., formerly with the University of Minnesota School of Veterinary Medicine (UMN-SVM); Don Höglund, D.V.M., currently with the UMN-SVM; and Margaret Perala, D.V.M., with Vet Services of Deerfield, Kan
Handling cattle efficiently and with limited stress to the animals and handlers is both an art and a science. Every interaction between humans and cattle shapes the future behavior of those cattle. The handler must become aware of his/her actions and realize the impact on the cattle. A good rule is to think before you act. Think about what the cow is doing (or not doing) and how you need to act in order to influence her. The cow is the starting point, not the human. Your actions must be generated/sculpted to fit what will best serve to produce the desired reaction from that cow. The handler adjusts his/her movements to whatever that cow needs in order to obtain the desired results.
All five senses are in play
Science has shown us that cattle react to the world around them in response to the information they receive from their five senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. They see herd members' actions, hear their calf bawling, will often touch and taste first when examining something new and smell one another for individual recognition. For sexual interactions, the bull determines a cow's receptiveness for breeding by the odors he detects in her urine, feces, sweat and breath. A young calf is curious, experiencing through all of her senses.
If we want to communicate with cattle, we must do it through their senses. The two most important senses cattle use for self-preservation (as herd animals) in interpreting what's happening in their environment are sight and sound. Unexpected movement, noises or touch may cause a cow to startle. For example, quick movements, loud noises or hitting may surprise cows.
A surprised animal may react explosively or in some other negative way, and we've lost our opportunity to handle her efficiently. It may take 30 minutes or more before she settles down again. Anxious cattle take longer to "settle" than calm livestock. Calm cows are more receptive to what we want them to do. We should concentrate on how our actions influence cattle movement and curb any inclination to yell, poke or shock. Then, we can direct her actions by our position and movement in relationship to her.
Key stockmanship principles
With eyes positioned near the side of the head, a cow has excellent peripheral vision and only a small blind spot directly behind her. In general, if you can see her eye, she can probably see you. Since cattle usually look and listen at what's pressuring them, approach a cow from a position where she can see you.
Never try to drive cattle from directly behind because you would be in their blind spot, causing them to turn and face you. To keep cattle moving, always move a little off to the side, and never follow directly behind. In order to keep an eye on a person, cattle tend to move in an arc around the person who is pressuring them.
Cows also tend to follow other cattle, return to where they came from and move in the direction they are facing. You can use these behavioral tendencies to your advantage when moving cattle, emptying a pen or loading a chute or truck. If the handler can create forward motion at the front of the herd and then avoid doing anything that will slow or halt that flow, the cattle will keep following the animals in front of them.
Always pay attention to your own position in relation to all of the cows. It is very important to make sure you avoid pressuring cows inefficiently. Cows often respond negatively to overpressure such as shouting, running, arm waving, hitting them or using electric prods to stimulate them to move. These high-stress tactics are counterproductive because the animals may try to get away from the pressure — running away or running back over the handler if they perceive no other way to escape.
Pressuring a cow efficiently involves proper speed, timing and angle of approach. There is no magic formula. Each time you handle cattle the animals' behavior will inform you if the angle, speed and timing of your approach are correct. If a cow doesn't respond the way you want her to, back away (along the same line/angle as your approach) and try again — changing the angle and speed of approach.
To start a group of cows moving generally takes a little more coercion than to keep them moving. Once they start moving, you can back off a bit and give them more space or pause momentarily to create more distance between you and the moving cattle. Apply pressure again only if they begin to slow or stop, keeping just enough pressure to keep them walking calmly.
Don't overpressure when trying to start them moving (or to keep them moving), or they may overreact and try to run away. Young animals are easier to stimulate because they are not yet familiar with being handled (not yet "trained"), and you must be extra careful to pressure them properly.
We move at different speeds
If you are moving a group of cows and trying to keep them going, remember to walk slowly. Cows walk at about two miles per hour, compared with humans walking about three to four miles per hour. If you walk at normal speed parallel with the cattle, you'll overtake the leaders which will slow them down and eventually stop them. Try to walk the same speed as the cows, keeping your pressure position where it needs to be. Always be careful not to apply too much pressure. Generally, it's best if only one person is applying pressure and moving the cattle. If more than one person applies pressure, the potential exists for the pressures to be contradictory. Contradictory pressures produce incompatible behavior resulting in confusion.
A key tenant of dairy stockmanship is to be calm, consistent and observant of what is going on around you. Another way to put this is to "see everything while looking at nothing." If you are always paying attention to the cattle, they will always tell you what your next actions should be. Yet, all of this observation should be nonintrusive, nonconfrontational. Cattle tend to relax if you are relaxed.
Dairy stockmanship is the recognition of human/cattle relationships with the goal of reconnecting the people with the cows with a positive outcome. The staff at University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine has developed a program of dairy stockmanship to help dairy workers understand and practice these concepts. The goal is to build an understanding for the animals, increasing our powers of observation — and enabling us to use these observations to "do the right thing" in every situation.
The "Introduction to Dairy Stockmanship" training module was developed in conjunction with Merck Animal Health. To request a copy of the module, contact your Merck Animal Health representative, email firstname.lastname@example.com or contact the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine at 1-800-380-8636 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

This is part two of a four-part series. Part three will describe using dairy stockmanship to safely and efficiently move dairy cows.

Long before protection of the environment became a prevalent endeavor, it was a high priority in the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. From the beginning, the Program recognized that the environmental safety of operating U.S. nuclear-powered ships would be key to their acceptance at home and abroad. The Program maintains the same rigorous attitude toward the control of radioactivity and protection of the environment as it does toward reactor design, testing, operation, and servicing. As a result, the Program has a well-documented record showing the absence of any adverse environmental effect from the operation of U.S. nuclear-powered warships. Because of this record, these ships are welcome in over 150 ports in over 50 countries and dependencies, as well as in U.S. ports.
Environmental releases, both airborne and waterborne, are strictly controlled. As a result, the annual releases of long-lived gamma radioactivity from all Program activities are comparable to the annual releases from a typical U.S. commercial nuclear reactor operating in accordance with its NRC license. Throughout the Program's entire history—over 5,900 reactor years of operation and more than 139 million miles steamed on nuclear power—there has never been a reactor accident, nor any release of radioactivity that has had an adverse effect on human health or the quality of the environment. The Program's standards and record surpass those of any other national or international nuclear program.
The Program has a comprehensive environmental monitoring program at each of its major installations and facilities, including nuclear-capable shipyards and the homeports of nuclear-powered ships. This monitoring program consists of analyzing water, sediment, air, and marine samples for radioactivity to verify that Program operations have not had an adverse effect on the environment. Independent surveys conducted by the EPA and by state and local governments confirm that U.S. naval nuclear-powered ships and support facilities have had no discernible effect on the radioactivity of the environment.
Ensuring proper environmental performance has also been a priority at Program Department of Energy facilities, which are responsible for non-nuclear as well as nuclear environmental matters. Regular inspection of the Program's laboratory and prototype sites by the EPA and state officials in accordance with the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and the Clean Water Act, has shown no significant problems.
The Program's stewardship of the environment does not end when a facility ceases operations. For example, the Program has successfully released three former shipyards for unrestricted future use with respect to Program radioactivity: Ingalls Shipbuilding's radiological facilities in Pascagoula, Mississippi (1982), and the Charleston and Mare Island Naval Shipyards in South Carolina and California (1996). These facilities' unrestricted releases from Program radiological controls were independently verified and agreed with by the respective states and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The successful inactivation and closure of these radiological facilities demonstrates that the stringent control exercised by the Program since its inception has been successful in protecting human health and the environment.
In October 2006, the U.S. Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program commemorated the first-ever unrestricted release of a U.S. nuclear power reactor site, based on the absence of both chemical and radiological constituents. After operating for 34 years and training over 14,000 sailors, the Department of Energy S1C Prototype Reactor Site in Windsor, Connecticut, was returned to "green field" conditions. Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program personnel and contractors worked in cooperation with the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, the EPA, the town of Windsor, and the public to complete this project. These agencies also provided independent oversight of the project. The current Windsor Site condition makes it suitable for any future use, without restriction, from economic development to recreation.
Finally, the Program maintains its environmental responsibilities from "cradle to grave"—from nuclear-powered warship design to ultimate disposal. The U.S. Navy's program to safely dispose of decommissioned nuclear-powered submarines and cruisers is an example. It involves defueling the reactor(s), inactivating the ship, removing the reactor compartment for land disposal, recycling the remainder of the vessel to the maxi¬mum extent practical, and disposing of the remaining non-recyclable materials. The spent nuclear fuel removed from nuclear-powered warships constitutes about 0.05 percent of all spent nuclear fuel in the United States today. Also, it is ruggedly designed to withstand combat conditions, and can be safely stored pending ultimate placement in a geologic repository.

LEWISTOWN - Lewistown Hospital is merging with Geisinger Health System, Kay Hamilton, hospital president and CEO, announced Tuesday morning.
Hamilton presented a non-binding letter of intent to the Board of Directors during the December meeting on Monday, confirming Geisinger's agreement to merge with Lewistown Hospital. While specifics of the merger are still in the planning process, the merger with Geisinger is definite, Hamilton said.
"We chose Geisinger because they are a part of our community," Hamilton said. "They have been here since the 80s, they are part of our hospital, we know them and they take care of our patients. They are also ... the largest rural health care provider in the nation."

Kay Hamilton, hospital president and CEO, left, and Frank Trembulak, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Geisinger Health System, discuss Geisinger's agreement to merge with Lewistown Hospital at a Tuesday meeting.
The non-binding portion of the letter of intent refers to agreements within the merger, rather than to the merging entities themselves, said Frank Trembulak, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Geisinger Health System. It's a common first step in the merger process, he added.
"A letter of intent is a conceptual document that lays out a conceptual frame work of what the parties have generally agreed to," Trembulak said. "The next document, which is a definitive agreement, is a formal contract between the parties which says, in more detail, how to implement this integration process."
At this time, Geisinger has agreed to the main goals Hamilton has discussed with the community in the past: keeping the hospital open, keeping the school of nursing open, providing employee and physician security, accepting popular insurance and developing capital gain.
"When we started talking about all of this months ago, we talked about the goals most important to the hospital and community," Hamilton said. "It's all about growth, it's not about losing jobs or services. We're doing this to grow and we will grow."
Geisinger has also agreed to accept insurance plans that are already accepted at Lewistown Hospital and local clinics, like Medicare Advantage, and continue providing service to the Amish communities, Hamilton said.
The planning process, leading to the definitive agreement, has a legal deadline of 90 days, but will most likely be extended due to the holiday season, Trembulak said. The process will include a time of due diligence, which includes legal aspects, but also the creation of clinical, facility and information technology plans to update and better the hospital, he said.
Once the definitive plan is drafted, it will be submitted to the hospital Board of Directors for vote, Hamilton said. The hospital's Community Corporate Members will also have a vote in regard to the change in ownership of the organization, she added.
Though Trembulak acknowledges that there has been opposition from some people in the community and some local physicians about a merger with Geisinger, many of the concerns are unfounded and misinformed, he said.
"Independent medical staff are concerned that, if the hospital relates to Geisinger, we will burst in and displace them," Trembulak said. "That is not the case. We really want to work with and partner with the community physicians to help them grow their own practices in support of the hospital."
Another concern, Trembulak said, is that Geisinger is planning to pull business away from the hospital. However, that doesn't make sense after Geisinger has invested time and money in the hospital. That would be counterintuitive, he added.
"We are committed to the community and the continued success of the hospital," Trembulak said. "I've not heard any concern that I would view as a legitimate problem. Everything we have heard has been clearly addressed."
Geisinger has already identified two projects that need immediate attention: redesigning and relocating the imaging department and constructing a new emergency department. These projects are expected to cost a minimum of $36 million, Trembulak said.
"The hospital had already begun plans on these improvements," Trembulak said. "We looked at those and said we agree. We added some contingency for equipment and unanticipated needs."
To keep the hospital community informed, Lewistown Hospital and Geisinger has begun holding medical staff meetings and will continue reaching out to all staff, physicians and board members, Hamilton said. They are also planning to hold community meetings in the near future, she added.
Geisinger President and CEO, Glenn Steele Jr., will be present for questions and discussion at staff meetings as well as a luncheon with community business leaders on Dec. 11.
"It's important for the community to remember why we are here in the first place," Hamilton said. "The hospital is at risk and we can't allow that. It's a chief economic engine and health care provider for this whole community. For these reasons, over two years ago, we embarked on this path."
The hospital will add a link to its website for the community and hospital employees to anonymously submit any questions, which Hamilton will personally answer. All questions and answers will then be posted to the website at www.lewistownhospital.org.
Hamilton also encourages community members and hospital employees to continue calling her with any questions. Appointments can be made by calling the Communications Department at 242-7365.

The new family of diesel engines introduced mainly between 2005 and 2007 proved that our engineers had solved the equation of higher performance, lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions.
For their contribution to realizing the new engine concept, a team of four project managers received the Volvo Technology Award 2007.
Compliance with future legislation
The diesel units were designed not only to comply with the current emission levels for different markets and applications. They were also designed with further development in mind, to ensure compliance with all coming emission standards, up to 2014 at least.
Maximizing synergies
A common architecture, shared technologies and a high degree of flexibility in application were key concepts in the development of the new engine family.

There are generally a few signature images when travelers ponder the Caribbean: ornate resort hotels, immaculate white-sand beaches, and dazzling clear water. Marriott hotel guests in the Caribbean can experience all of these things along with the seemingly endless array of tours, excursions, and adventures that are available throughout the islands.
Far and away the biggest draw for guests of Marriott hotels in the Caribbean, though, will always remain the sand, sea, and sun. Shell-littered beaches come in a shocking variety of colors, from snow-white to rosy pink. There are literally hundreds of adventures to choose from: deep sea fishing charters operated by seasoned anglers, diving excursions among the wreckage of genuine pirate ships, and spa treatments along the waterfront. The wildlife views are equally varied, from dolphins to sea turtles to rare tropical birds.
But if beaches, watersports, and fishing aren't your thing, you may be surprised by the vibrantly displayed history of the islands. For a change of pace, delve into the past of the Caribbean and explore this area shaped by piracy, colonization, and immigration. Whether you visit Parliament Square in Nassau or Farley Hill in Barbados, you'll find a story worth hearing and views worth seeing.
