Symptoms and Treatment
How has your betta fish's appearance changed? When I bought him in January I noticed a small oddity about his scales on the side of his body near his tail. At the time I thought maybe he had gotten into a fight with another fish when he was in the breeding facility and it was a scar. He was a Wal-Mart fish after all and I'm sure they don't use the best suppliers. Everything seemed fine, other than an occasional very small swelling in the area. As recently as a few days ago, a white "lump" for lack of a better word, has started breaking through his scales and is growing very slowly. He has also developed fin rot that has accelerated quickly.
How has your betta fish's behavior changed? Not very much. He was always a calm fish..well until I made the mistake of putting a snail in with him..may you rest in peace Gary. He has always just kind of hung out in the corners of the tank or behind the filter. I have noticed that he isn't swimming around as much, which I figured the lump may be painful as he occasionally twitches his head near his tail. In the last 12 hours has started staying near the bottom of the tank more but doesn't seem to have swimming problems to come up for air.
When did you start noticing the symptoms? Always had an odd "scar" in this area. Lump appeared within last few days.
Have you started treating your fish? No, however I had planned on starting 1 tsp/gallon AQ salt treatments tomorrow but wanted some advise here first to see if that would be a good idea with the lump. If so, how?
Does your fish have any history of being ill? No
How old is your fish (approximately)? Had since January, not sure of age when bought.20130918_012930.jpg20130918_012818.jpg20130918_012930.jpg20130918_012818.jpg
sorry about your betta. Hopefully one of our betta experts will chime in but it looks like a tumor to me. also, his abdomen seems exceptionally large which makes one wonder if he doesn't have some internal issue going on. And the fact that he'd listless and lying at the bottom are not good signs
Normally I couldn't suggest medication without knowing what's actually going on, since he seems to be going down hill, you could try worming him with Prazi-pro to see if that might address the bulging abdomen and also dose with Metro+ - an antibiotic that may or may not address the wound/tumor.
sorry I can't be more helpful. Good luck with him. he's a pretty boy.30 g FW planted:corys, female ABNP, blue angel, harleys, zebra danios, rummies,

Hmmmm, do you soak your pellets by any chance? That's a lot of pellets for a betta....If you don't soak the pellets, that's an issue as well.
I'm leaning towards swim bladder issue, hence the blister in that area. He seems constipated as well and lying on the bottom also suggest an issue with the swim bladder. Secondary infection from stress allowed fin rot to take hold of him.
So, I'd suggest to deal with the constipation and the fin rot. The swim bladder should slowly resolve itself in due time if everything else is good.
Don't do the salt treatment. Although some epsom might help with constipation. Do keep the water clean and see if you can get your hands on maracyn 1 and 2.Think with logic and rationality more than emotion. Act with moderation and consideration. Contemplate ideals and realistic goals and weigh out possibilities and options. Temper not with personal delusions or false hope but learn to accept and move on.

Sorry I probably should have mentioned that I fed him literally sixty seconds before I took the picture so his abdomen was a little big. The pellets are 1mm and 10-20 was the suggested manufactures directions. I had several people on another betta forum tell me they usually fed the same food to their bettas and they did 10-15 a day. His belly always goes down within 5 minutes of eating, usually after releasing some bubbles from his mouth. I don't soak my pellets as I have heard that can leak the nutrients out plus I have seen Weebles spit out pellets that have been sitting on top for a few mins, not sure if he likes the squishy feel or something?? Thank you both for your advice. I'm a little iffy on the swim bladder thing because he doesn't have ANY problems swimming or holding himself in a stable position in the water, whether top, bottom or middle of the tank. He has never lain on the bottom, like on the gravel, he just hovers about an inch above the gravel, but always perfectly level. I'm really worried about the fact that it is breaking through the scales, I can't find anything like it online anywhere.
I have not used either maracyn 1 and 2 but if Spardas says its good for treatment, I'm certain it is. I've had good luck with Metro+. Also, treating him with prazi pro which is very gentle should not hurt anything and will get rid of any internal worms should he have them. I worm my new fish as a matter of course with it.
Also as Spardas says, frequent water changes are important to treat the fin rot. And I'd cut back on the number of pellets you feed and split them up and feed 2X a day instead of once so he doesn't have so much to digest at one time.
again, good luck. he hope he comes around30 g FW planted:corys, female ABNP, blue angel, harleys, zebra danios, rummies,

I have a Betta with the same issue - he has had it going on 6 months and the tumor is now the size of a pea. It is at the start of the tail fins and otherwise looks the same as yours, just bigger.
Speaking strictly for mine - I don't think he has any internal issues, it is plainly a tumor. He behaved normally until just about a week ago. He now swims less and after a rest, he seems to be quite irritated when he starts swimming. This settles after a couple of rounds through the tank.
Since he started being less active and showing some discomfort, I have been thinking about putting him down, he was a happy fish for a long time and there is no removing a tumor. His aquarium is on my desk, where I see him all day. I don't want him suffering... I have no idea how to put him down though. :(
Btw, mine started just as a little bump until it broke the skin, then it turned into a white lump. I looked at it with a magnifying glass and it's granular - looks just like a human tumor. Unfortunately I have had occasion to study up on human tumors - no, it's not me who has one.
With apologies to the op - Glofish, if you plan on putting your betta down, there are many methods. Some put them in a baggie of water and slip them in the freezer where they just go to sleep. to me this seems long and painful but I know it's often done with kindness in mind.
Others boil a pan of water and drop the fish in - instant death - difficult to carry out as it seems a bit barbaric. Others chop the head off. Quick, painless but again, difficult to carry out if you're attached to the fish.
Whatever you do, don't flush it. You want to make certain the euthanasia is complete.
here's a link to an article on how to humanly euthanize a fish that includes some other options..

Thanks for the reply and sorry for hijacking the thread - I thought the OP may glimpse something from my situation that may help. My Betta looks quite cheerful this morning and is active and appears to feel fine, and while that is the case, he is of course going to stay right here. But sooner or later I will have to act. Thanks for the link, it's good to know what I will have to do when the time comes.
Given that he has had this for a long time, I don't think this is a malignant tumor, but even benign ones will eventually cause trouble and pain. The OP's looks about the same, just earlier on. Tumors can grow in any direction, mine seems to be sitting completely on top, i.e. on the outside, and hence the fish is still enjoying life without internal issues. This may or may not be the case with the OP...so it's really hard to give advice. If nothing else, my fish will eventually lose balance as he carries quite a weight in a place where none belongs. I wish the Op all the best - this is not easy to watch.

Thanks Glofish, I feel the same way...I dont want to have to put down my fish but I dont want them to suffer either...for now Weebs seems to be doing fine it just looks awful, I've been keeping on eye on it to make sure it doesn't go fuzzy or anything like that but I really doubt its parasites due to the assumption that if he has them bad enough to be busting out his side that he would not have lasted this long but I could be wrong...at this point I'm going to change the water 50% every two days to try to help the fin rot and just keep my fingers crossed with the "tumor" issue..good luck Glofish and def post if you find anything else out

Corbett pushes back Medicaid payments in budgetFebruary 9, 2014 11:18 PM
HARRISBURG -- When Gov. Tom Corbett laid out his proposed budget last week, he said "sound budgeting and spending discipline" were key.
But the biggest single source of savings in the proposal, some critics charge, is merely an accounting gimmick -- delaying a $394 million payment to Medicaid managed-care providers.
Making the payment a month later -- at the start of a new fiscal year in July 2015, rather than June 2015 -- pushes the cost from the proposed 2014-15 fiscal year budget into the following year's budget.
Jay Pagni, a spokesman for Mr. Corbett, said the proposal for the one-time move was made "rather than going back to the taxpayer for a tax hike."
Payments are made every month from the state to managed care organizations, or MCOs, the private health insurance companies that provide health insurance plans like UPMC for You or Gateway Health Plan for Medicaid recipients.
"[This] is not really a savings, but they're just not paying the bills when they come due," said Michael Rosenstein, who coordinates the Coalition of Medical Assistance Managed Care Organizations, an association of the state's managed care plans.
"The [proposed] delay in payments is very problematic," Mr. Rosenstein said, as it also causes hundreds of millions in federal funds to be delayed as well.
The idea is not unprecedented, however.
"This is a budget gimmick that was used in prior times by the Rendell administration," said Sharon Ward, executive director of the left-leaning Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center.
Medicaid, the state and federally funded program to provide health care to low-income people, is one of the largest cost drivers in the state's budget, consuming close to 30 percent of the general fund. One in six Pennsylvanians is covered by Medicaid; many are disabled, children or elderly.
While these monthly payments have been delayed before under previous budgets, it means MCOs will likely have to borrow to fill the gap, Mr. Rosenstein said, in order to be able to pay providers such as doctors, hospitals and pharmacies in a timely way.
Patricia J. Darnley, the new CEO of Gateway Health, a Pittsburgh-based insurer that manages Medicare- and Medicaid-related plans, said that the payment delay could be problematic, but "we're working with DPW on how best" to accommodate the state's needs against those of its Medicaid organization.
A one-month payment delay, she said, could have "ramifications from it across the board, [depending] on plans' abilities to pay their bills." Some might have to draw down on credit, and borrowing money to pay bills makes those bills more costly in the long run, she said.
"The burden that they [managed care organizations] are assuming is certainly significant" under this proposal, said Miriam Fox, executive director for Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee.
"The plans still get paid," Mr. Pagni said. "They will continue to be paid."
It's not clear if legislative leaders will go along with this idea; Mr. Corbett laid out a number of proposals in his $29.4 billion general fund budget last week and his address kicks off weeks of appropriations hearings and months of legislative wrangling before the state enacts a budget June 30.
"There are some concerns that have been expressed [about the proposed delay]," said Steve Miskin, a spokesman for House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Bradford Woods.
In addition to the payment delay for managed care providers, there are several one-time revenue boosts proposed, which has prompted many Democrats and critics to label the budget unsustainable. One-time sources include $225 million in private equity investments and cash reserves from the tobacco settlement fund and health venture investment account to the Public School Employees' Retirement System; $150 million from reducing from five years to three the time unclaimed property is held before being claimed by the state; and $75 million from lifting a Rendell-era ban on new oil and gas leases on state forest lands.
"They've deferred a lot of the hard decisions to next year," Ms. Ward said.

The problem stems from the fact that the federal government is mandating ethanol usage in the country, a move begun in the Bush administration that has accelerated under President Obama. As every grocery shopper knows, the use of corn in the production of ethanol has caused a severe spike in grain prices.
In August, corn reached a record-high price of $8.49 per bushel. As recently as 2005, it was $1.96 a bushel.
That hits waterfowl hunters especially hard because farmers across the fruited plain are draining wetlands and other marginal farm lands to put in crops to take advantage of the windfall.
Last summer, Reynolds explained, the prairie pothole region had a record number of breeding ducks, which, of course, is a good thing. But the pond counts declined 35 percent.
"Hunters will tell me, 'Larry, how can I in good conscience ask the federal government to spend more money on conservation when it's borrowing 45 cents of every dollar it spends?'" Reynolds said. "And those hunters are right, but what most of them don't know is that 2 percent of the defense budget pays for all the conservation we could ever need. It's a pittance.
A 3/30 season would purge the duck hunter community and I think that would be a good thing.
The average middle aged professional white guy like myself will be quick to say "cut out welfare" or "stop spending money on foreign aid" among many other complaints
How do I become a professional white guy? It sounds fun!
A 3/30 season would purge the duck hunter community and I think that would be a good thing.
rick 3/30. It kills the average weekend hunter. That guy only gets 8-10 hunts per year
Your statement only makes sense to those that have never seen anything other than a 6/60 season.
It becomes even more of a rich man's hobby
Frick 3/30. It kills the average weekend hunter. That guy only gets 8-10 hunts per year. I'd rather see some sort of season limit. Like 100 ducks per person for the entire season. Although I admit, I haven't figured out how to enforce that yet.
I think the fly way projected average is something like 18-23 birds per SEASON

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:31 AM GMT on February 02, 2011
The Great Groundhog's Day Blizzard of 2011 is wreaking havoc tonight from Texas to Michigan, and is poised to spread dangerous winter weather eastwards to New England during the day Wednesday. Four states have declared states of emergency—Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, and Kansas—and the National Guard has been called out in Illinois and Missouri. Up to 1/2" of ice has caused power outages in Indianapolis, and blizzard conditions have engulfed Chicago, where heavy snows of up to two inches per hour are falling in high winds. Winds tonight at Chicago's Calumet Harbor were tropical storm force, 39 mph, with gusts to 49 mph. Winds gusts of 60 mph were occurring at the Chicago buoy, 10 miles offshore in Lake Michigan.
The storm will probably be Chicago's biggest blizzard since January 2 - 4 1999, when a storm dumped 21.6" of snow. With tonight's snowstorm expected to have very unstable air aloft, "thundersnow" with snowfall rates of 4 inches/hour is possible, and there is a chance today's blizzard could rival Chicago's greatest snow storm of all time, the blizzard of January 26 - 27, 1967. That immense storm dumped 23 inches of snow on Chicago, stranding thousands of people and leaving an estimated 800 Chicago Transit Authority buses and 50,000 automobiles abandoned on the city streets and expressways. Twenty six Chicagoans died in the blizzard, mostly due to heart attacks from shoveling snow. Strong winds in Chicago today are expected to generate 14 - 18 feet waves on Lake Michigan, with occasional waves up to 25 feet. A significant coastal flooding event is possible for the city, with beach erosion and flooding along Lake Shore Drive. I'll have a full update on the great blizzard in the morning.

Category 4 Tropical Cyclone Yasi nearing Queensland, Australia
Tropical Cyclone Yasi continues to intensify as it speeds westwards towards vulnerable Queensland, Australia. Yasi, now a Category 4 storm with 140 mph winds, is under light wind shear of 5 - 10 knots, and over record warm ocean waters of 29°C (84°C). Low wind shear, record warm sea surface temperatures, and favorable upper-level outflow should allow the cyclone to maintain Category 4 strength until landfall Wednesday evening (local time.)
The Austrailian Bureau of Meteorology had this to say about Yasi in their latest advisory:
On Wednesday morning at 9:30am local time, Yasi hit tiny Willis Island, where a minimum pressure of 938 mb and a peak wind gust of 115 mph was observed before Yasi cut communications and damaged the radar.
Queensland faces three major threats from Yasi. The cyclone will bring torrential rainfall to a region with saturated soils that saw record flooding earlier this month. The latest rainfall rates in Yasi's eyewall as estimated by microwave satellite imagery are 20 mm (0.8") per hour. The GFS model is predicting that a wide swath of Queensland will receive 5 - 10 inches of rain over the next week, due to the combined effects of Yasi and a moist flow of tropical air over the region. Fortunately, Yasi is moving with a rapid forward speed, about 21 mph, and is not expected to linger over Queensland after landfall. The heaviest rainfall will miss Queenland's most populated regions to the south that had the worst flooding problems earlier this month, including the Australia's third largest city, Brisbane.
Yasi will bring highly destructive winds to a region of coast south of the city of Cairns (population 150,000.) Townsville (population 200,000) is farther from the expected landfall of the eyewall, and should see lesser winds. Strong building codes have been in place in Queensland since the 1960s, which will help reduce the damage amounts. The fact that Yasi's eyewall will miss these two major cities is lucky, since the coast is less populous between the two cities.
A dangerous storm surge in excess of ten feet can be expected along the left front quadrant of the storm where it comes ashore. The tidal range between low and high tide along the coast near Cairns will be about 2 meters (6 feet) during the evening of February 2. Yasi is expected to hit near midnight, halfway between low and high tide. Thus, the inundation from the storm surge will be about 1 meter (3 feet) less than it would have been had the storm hit at high tide.
Yasi is larger and more dangerous than Cyclone Larry of 2006, which hit Queensland as a Category 4 storm with 135 mph winds. Larry killed one person and caused $872 million in damage (2011 U.S. dollars.) Yasi will bring heavy rains to a region with soils already saturated from record rains, and may become a billion-dollar cyclone.

'Drawn & Moving: Animated Films from Japan' is a video series exploring the art form of Japanese animation. Movie screenings are held Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the Black Box Theatre in Wilcox Hall at Wilson College. The series is sponsored by Wilson College, the Japanese language program, the Major Choices program of the Residential Colleges, and Anime Manga Princeton.
Video Closed Captions
DAVID SELIM SAYERS: The series
is called Drawn & Moving,
Animated Films from Japan.
And it's an ongoing series
in which we present seven
animated feature-length
films from Japan.
The reason that we're doing
this series is because we
basically wanted to introduce
Japanese animated film to an
audience that doesn't
necessarily know it so well,
that perhaps comes to
this kind of film
for the first time.
And we wanted to show such an
audience, we wanted to show
film enthusiasts in general that
animated film might have
something to offer to them,
just the way that other
branches, other aspects of
world cinema, might have
something to offer to them.
EVAN COLE: I always really
liked anime as
a consumer of media.
Because as an animation form,
it covers so many diverse
genres in such a great
degree of depth that
it's just really wild.
When you compare it, especially
to Western
animation, the contrast in the
art, the plots, the depth of
the things addressed
is just staggering.
And see with this film series,
we have romance, horror,
sports, drama, historical
DAVID SELIM SAYERS: When we sat
down together to choose
which films we were going to
show for this film series, we
basically decided pretty early
on that we didn't want to have
more than one film in
the same genre.
JONATHAN GLASSMAN: One of the
really unique things about
this is that we are allowed to
host film series that may have
controversial content and that
really try to push you to view
cinema in different ways.
And I admittedly am--
I put myself first on the list
as one of those people who had
a very narrow-minded
view of cinema.
And by being able to work with
these films, it's had a very
powerful effect on me, so I can
only imagine what is has
on the audience.
MICHAEL SOCKIN: We're trying to
do something alternative,
something that reaches a bit
more into pop culture and
really tries to make
it a bit more
egalitarian in some sense.
Because you don't see everyone
watching these sorts of films,
and we really wanted to try to
encourage people to branch out
and reach in and understand this
phenomenon a bit more.
EVRIM EMIR: Princeton is very
open-minded to ideas that we
come up with as graduate fellows
or our ideas at the
Wilson College.
They just let you do what you
really want to do in your
daily life even.
We really enjoy showing movies
that people wouldn't come
across in their daily
lives, but we really
enjoy in our houses.
So actually, Princeton let
us do what we wanted.

The 10 Best Mountain Towns in America
Park City, Utah
The outside world may associate Park City with glitz – the Sundance Film Festival, three luxe ski resorts – but ask locals what they love most and it's sure to be the trails. The hills that surround town hold an unprecedented 400 miles of loops, networks, and connector trails that link the loops and join the networks and connect them all to town for hiking, trail running, or biking. "And the hook is," says outdoor photographer Dan Campbell, "you're always within 15 minutes of Park City [by bike]."
The trails are mostly on private land and maintained and mapped by Mountain Trails, a local conservancy. They virtually bring the Wasatch Range to you and then drop you off back in town.
Getting There: Fly to Salt Lake City; drive 40 minutes east.

Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) executive chairman Ray Lane will step down as chair, while remaining on the board, and Ralph Whitworth of Relational Investors, already on the board, will step into the role of chair, according to a report this afternoon by The Wall Street Journal's Joann Lublin, which was echoed by CNBC's David Faber just after the closing bell, citing multiple unnamed sources.
Faber said Whitworth's appointment is expected to be temporary while a permanent chair is sought.
HP shares are down 9 cents at $22.21 in late trading. Former IDC hardware research analyst Roger Kay told CNBC "this looks to me a minor adjustment. When you have a big ship like HP, you don't want to just yank the steering wheel. The ship is moving in the right direction, and Meg [Whitman, CEO] is firmly at the helm."
Update: HP this evening confirmed the change, announcing Lane will give up the chair role and maintain his board seat, " to be replaced on an interim basis by Ralph V. Whitworth."
"The board is commencing a search for a permanent nonexecutive board chairman."
Said Lane,
After reflecting on the stockholder vote last month, I've decided to step down as executive chairman to reduce any distraction from HP's ongoing turnaround. Since I joined HP's board a little over two years ago, I've been committed to board evolution to ensure our turnaround and future success. I'm proud of the board we've built and the progress we've made to date in restoring the company. I will continue to serve HP as a director and help finish the job.
HP said directors John Hammergren and Kennedy Thompson will also step down following a May board meeting.
Shares are down 20 cents, or 0.9%, at $22.10.
Update: In a statement this afternoon, New York City comptroller John Liu, who had campaigned against Hammergren and Thompson in advance of last month's shareholder meeting, cheered the changes:
HP's board got the message. It has removed the two directors most responsible for a series of value-destroying oversight failures, and established fresh, independent leadership. This a good day for HP, its board, and its shareowners.

Collagen vascular disease occurs when problems with the immune system affect collagen.
Collagen is a tough, fiber-like protein that makes up about a third of body protein. It is part of the structure of tendons, bones, and connective tissues.
In a class of diseases known as autoimmune disorders, the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. Some of these diseases are similar to each other such as arthritis and inflammation of arteries in the tissues that connect joints and other tissues. As a group, these diseases are known as collagen vascular diseases.
Collagen vascular diseases include:

text: I was dusting my stuff today and noticed the head on my 12" Clonetrooper had taken on a greenish yellow color. It hasn't been sitting in direct light or anything. Oh, and it's only the head, not the armor or anything. I have the armor and helmet on a 12" Dragon figure so I'm wondering if some kind of problem between the two plastics could cause that. Has anyone else seen this happen?

fly rod holder-help
i was fishing in florida last month and the guide had a very simple and effective fly rod holder that i'm trying to duplicate. he simply attached 9', 1 /1/2", thin wall pvc to the underside of his T-top and slid the tubes inside. the reels were secured with a strap. i like the simple system because it maximizes space, keeps the rods and holders free from getting caught up in my line when i'm casting, and stores with good protection. he got the pvc at home depot. unfortunately home depot does not sell that thin wall pvc in 1 1/2" in new england. i've not been able to find it anywhere. any suggestions on a similarly simple and effective system or where to find the 1 1/2" thin wall would be most appreciated. thanks, neal

Film & Discussion: Assata - Eyes on the Rainbow
"Eyes on the Rainbow" portrays the life of Assata Shakur, the Black liberation leader who escaped from unjust imprisonment. Assata was given political asylum in Cuba, where she has lived for 29 years. She is still being persecuted by the FBI for a crime she did not commit, and was recently put on the "Most Wanted Terrorist List."
"Like most poor people in the United States, I have no voice. The Black press and the progressive media, as well as Black civil rights organizations, have historically played an essential role in the struggle for social justice. We should continue and expand that tradition. We should create media outlets that help to educate our people and our children, and not annihilate their minds…I sincerely ask those of you in the Black media, those of you in the progressive media and those of you who believe in truth and freedom to publish my story."—Assata Shakur (47min., 1997)
Discussion will follow the film. $5-10 donation (no one turned away for lack of funds)

Japanese Scene Year in Review: Fight of the Year
- Written by Dave Walsh
Choosing the fight of the year was the most difficult choice because of the limited access to fights that fans outside of Japan had. Because of this, I only selected 6 fights as contenders, 3 that there were video of and 3 that there weren't. While I was tempted to choose a fight that there was video of, there was one fight in particular that stood out among the others, despite the fact we have not seen video of it yet.
Winner: Nobuchika Terado vs Andy Howson (Krush.21) - While video has yet to surface of this fight, it was chosen as Krush's 2012 fight of the year. Howson started strong, dropping Terado 2 or 3 times in the opening round and a half and looked to be well on his way to victory. Terado, who was knocked out by Krush champion Shota Takiya in just 71 seconds earlier in the year, did not want to be a quick KO victim again and dug deep and dropped Howson. He followed up with two more knockdowns in the 2nd round, forcing the referee to stop the bout and defending his ISKA Super Bantamweight title. He snagged victory from the jaws of defeat and put on one of the year's most exciting and spectacular performances in doing so.
Runners up: Yuki vs Yuto Watanabe (RISE 87) - Sticking with the theme of improbable comebacks, Yuki and Yuto Watanabe squared off at RISE 87 in a fight for Yuki's 63kg title. It was Yuki's first defense and a fight he was favored in. However, Watanabe started strong in the first round and scored a knockdown, then went on to win the 2nd round and draw in the 3rd, giving him a 3 point lead with just 2 rounds left. Yuki closed the gap in the 4th, but needed at least two knockdowns to win the fight outright and at least one to force an extension round. In the 5th round, Yuki hurt Watanabe and dropped him, meaning the fight would likely go to an extension round. However, Yuki saw his opportunity and took it, forcing a standing 8 count as he battered Watanabe with several unanswered punches. When the scores were announced, two of the judges saw the fight for Yuki with the third having it scored a draw and Yuki retained his title in dramatic fashion.
Satoru Suzuki vs Bovy Sor Udomson (Shootboxing 2012 act.1) - Since coming to Shootboxing in 2009, Bovy has proven he is no stranger to wild, exciting brawls, putting on some of the promotion's best fights including fight of the year contenders in 2009, 2010 and 2012. This year's fight saw him face off against former boxer Satoru Suzuki. Suzuki started very strong, knocking Bovy down about half way through the round. Somehow, Bovy managed to get up despite smacking his head quite hard against the ground, but suffered another knockdown, putting him down 4 points after just 1 round (in Shootboxing, knockdowns result in a 2 point deduction each). Despite the deep hole he found himself in, Bovy stormed back in rounds 2 and 3, outbrawling the boxer and almost scoring knockdowns of his own. Unfortunately, he was unable to do so and Suzuki found himself the winner after 3 rounds.
Chang Hyun Lee vs Genji Umeno (K-1 Rising World GP Final 16) - Over the course of 2011 and 2012, Genji Umeno had become one of Japan's most highly touted fighters, using 2011 to clear out the Featherweight division and start a run at the Lumpinee Stadium title. Despite getting himself ranked, he chose to take a fight in K-1 and move up in weight to 61kg. His first opponent at the new weight and under the new ruleset was unknown Korean Chang Hyun Lee, a training partner of Sun Hyun Lee who had scored a big upset of his own in his first fight in K-1. Despite looking like he had adapted well to the new ruleset, Umeno was having a tough time getting away from Lee's combinations, as he was able to land at will throughout the first round. Umeno came out stronger in the 2nd round, landing combinations of his own, but not without eating more shots from the Korean. The 3rd round was the decisive round as Lee looked a bit tired in the first minute, but dropped Umeno with a huge overhand right. The knockdown seemed to energize both fighters as they both went for broke in the final two minutes, landing power shots, but neither man was able to drop the other and the fight ended. Lee had upset Umeno with the decisive knockdown, taking a 29-28 decision on all 3 cards.
Hirotaka Urabe vs Naoki Ishikawa III (Krush.25) - After starting the year with a draw at Krush.15 on January 9th, 60kg champ Hirotaka Urabe and #1 contender Naoki Ishikawa met for the third time, with Urabe's title on the line for the 2nd time. Both had gone undefeated over the course of the year and looked to end the year with a strong win. Ishikawa came out hot, wobbling Urabe in the 1st en route to a knockdown. Not to be shown up, Urabe came back in the 2nd and dropped Ishikawa to even the score at 18-18. Knowing the 3rd round would be the deciding one, the two went for broke and produced one of the best rounds of 2012, disregarding defense and looking to take control of the round. In the end, no winner was decided as the two drew for the second time in as many title fights and ended their 2012 the same way it started. Next year will likely see them meet for a 4th time and hopefully it is as exciting as their 3rd encounter.
Keisuke Miyamoto vs Ryuya Kusakabe (NJKF: Kick to the Future 6) - Kusakabe is no stranger to entertaining fights, as his run through the Krush 55kg tournament saw him put on 2010 and 2011 fight of the year contenders against Nobuchika Terado and Shota Takiya, respectively. 2012 was no different story as he set out to defend his WBC Japan Super Bantamweight title against MA Kick champion Keisuke Miyamoto. Over the course of 5 rounds, the two exchanged frequently, much to the delight of the Korakuen Hall crowd, and at the end of 5 rounds, Miyamoto was given a unanimous decision. The fight saw Miyamoto emerge as one of Japan's new stars, but it also helped cement Kusakabe as one of the country's most exciting fighters.


text: Migration Info This species' annual migration is the longest of any flycatcher that breeds in North America. The Olive-sided's winter habitat is primarily in the highlands of Panama and the northern Andes. Peak winter abundance is in the Andean portion of Colombia. Migrants generally bypass the Yucatan (although there are a few trans-Gulf migrants each year) and move through North America via the western forests. Olive-sided Flycatchers leave their winter territories in late March and are among the later arrivals in the southern states. The reason for this late arrival on breeding territories is probably this species' dependence on large flying insects, which are less numerous before the warmer spring weather.

Cumberland Gap
National Historic Park
Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia
At Cumberland Gap four natural features combine to open the way through the Appalachian Mountain range. At one time this land was flat and Yellow Creek flowed south into Powell River. Then the earth began to push up, and as Cumberland Mountain rose the creek cut in it a notch, or gap. (1) The mountain rose faster than the creek could enlarge the gap and the creek was diverted northward into Cumberland River. North of the gap is Middleboro Basin(2), a large flat area perhaps formed by the impact of a meteor or the collapse of a huge underground bubble. Yellow Creek Valley (3) leads to "the Narrows"(4), a gap that crosses Pine Mountain and opens into the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. These four features are a natural door through the mountains, allowing travel in either direction and joining the eastern seaboard with the Mississippi west.

"The History of Global Trade & Commerce" topic of Binghamton University Conference
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Binghamton University's Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (CEMERS) will host a conference, "Negotiating Trade: Commercial Institutions & Cross-Cultural Exchange in the Medieval & Early Modern World," September 24 and 25.
On Friday, September 24, Paul Freedman of Yale University will speak about "International Luxury Products: Scarcity, Value and Uniqueness". Scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Leonard Blussé from the University of Leiden will speak about "Making Ends Meet: The Emporia of Monsoon Asia and the Newcomers from Europe."
The conference is part of CEMERS' yearlong series of events that will focus on evolving global markets and the challenges of international commerce, transport, banking and credit prior to the nineteenth century. Referred to as the "Trade Institute," the series includes lectures, workshops, and symposia focusing on popular items that are often taken for granted. Topics range from a closer look at spices and stimulants of non-European origin including sugar, coffee, tea and chocolate, which were transformed from humble comestibles at the edges of the "civilized" medieval world to luxury commodities in trans-regional emporia. The Trade Institute will also look at the role of "staples" which have become cheap sources of energy and pervasive "snack" foods in our current global culture and economy. Also under consideration will be global markets in wheat, flax, rice, tobacco, cotton, wool, silk, porcelain and other raw materials and crafted items, subsistence and luxury.
This programming is linked to a core curriculum of undergraduate and graduate courses offered through twelve different departments and programs in Harpur College and the School of Management. The Institute's community outreach component targets multiple publics, from local to international, and offers various opportunities for alumni and community involvement.
For additional information on the conference and Trade Institute, please visit www.cemers.binghamton.edu or call (607) 777-2730.

Protecting Your Water Against Contamination
Congress established the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) in 1974 to protect human health from contaminants in drinking water and to prevent contamination of existing groundwater supplies. This act and its amendments (1986 and 1996) require many actions to protect drinking water and its sources. One of these actions is the installation and maintenance of an approved backflow prevention assembly at the water service connection whenever a potential hazard is determined to exist in the customer's system. Without proper protection devices, cross connections can occur.
What is a cross connection?
A connection between your drinking water and another source of water that combines the two when a backflow condition occurs. When this occurs, your drinking water can become contaminated.
OK. So? What is backflow?
Backflow is when the water in your pipes (the pipes after the water meter) goes backward (the opposite direction from its normal flow). There are two situations that can cause the water to go backward (backflow):
Backpressure – the pressure in your pipes is greater than the pressure coming in.
Backsiphonage – a negative pressure in one of the pipes.
To protect the water system, two kinds of backflow prevention assemblies (devices that prevent the backflow of water) are required for all business customers that present a potential hazard to the water system:
External – to protect the water from cross connection with the water on the customer's premises
Internal – to protect the customer from potentially hazardous cross connections in his own system.
What is considered a potential hazard?
ANY possibility of pollutants, contaminants, and system or plumbing hazards. For example: fire protection systems, irrigation systems, gasoline refineries and stations, restaurants, hospitals, and manufacturers. Just to name a few.
To keep your drinking water safe, the City of Clemson Utilities Department checks the plans of each new business for compliance with cross connection/backflow requirements. We take pride in the water we provide and will continue to protect it and our citizens.
Now that you have some background, you may ask…What's the big deal? Well, the big deal is that backflows due to cross connections can cause sickness and death. Even in your own home, you can unwittingly create a cross connection:
Putting the garden hose in a swimming pool to fill it.
Putting the garden hose in a pet's water bucket to fill it, or the fish tank.
Putting the garden hose down the drain to flush out debris when it's backed up.
Connecting your garden hose to a plant fertilizer or bug spray unit.
Over half of the nation's cross connection problems involve unprotected garden hoses.
The City of Clemson Utilities Department protects the water entering your system. However, it is your responsibility to protect the water on your property or in your home. It's important to note that homeowner irrigation accounts require you to install a backflow prevention device on underground systems and have it tested initially by an approved tester before being placed into service and then every three years after that. A certified plumber or contractor can install a backflow preventer for you. The cost will depend on the type of device required and the installation labor. Testing fees vary, so it's a good idea to call around for pricing to Certified Testers please follow this link to the SC Department of Health and Environmental Control website for a list of certified testers:
Commercial Accounts generally require the business to have backflow prevention. All fire lines are required to have an approved backflow prevention device. Please contact Tom Luke the Utilities Department if you have questions.
For more information on how to protect the water on your property, please call the City of Clemson Utilities Department Backflow Prevention at (864) 653-2046.

Looking for a twist to beef fillet? Check out this herb and mustard flavored beef for warm dinner.
Why it Works: The Heat is On
Mustard seed, which is ground to make the yellow ballpark condiment as well as the fancy brown variety, is a member of the cabbage family. Like its relatives, broccoli and Brussels sprouts, mustard can be quite potent if not prepared correctly. The offending ingredient responsible for its notorious smell—isothiocyanate—is activated by heat and water. This chemical is released when ground mustard is mixed with hot water or when cabbage is overcooked. Although pleasantly sharp in small amounts, mustard can be chokingly strong if too much is used. To avoid overpowering your guests, remember that once heated, ground mustard or crushed mustard seed gets hotter as it stands.

Reviews for Ramen Corn Chowder
"This was just as easy as it looks, it's going to be a new quick favorite when I'm in a rush. These ingredients are also almost always on hand, which really adds to the easy level."
"I used the recipe for Creamed Corn instead of canned cream corn, then added the rest of the ingredients to the crock-pot and cooked for another 2 hours on high. Served w/ homemade bread. Great Meal!"
"SO EASY!!! I love this recipe!!! It's definitely going to be an old standby in my house. The ingredients are easy to keep on hand, relatively inexpensive, and (most important) it takes no time to make. One pot, no mixing, no simmering, etc. I really, really love it. I replaced the chicken ramen with mushroom ramen, since my boyfriend and I are vegetarians. I also replaced the crumbled bacon with Morningstar Farms vegetarian bacon. And I added some hickory smoked salt. Delicious!"

Vision: The Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch's vision is a healthy, lead-safe environment where all children can achieve their full potential.
Mission: The mission of the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch is to eliminate childhood lead poisoning by identifying and caring for lead burdened children and preventing environmental exposures to lead.
Goals: The Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch has six goals.
Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Acts of 1986 and 1989 with Subsequent Legislative Revisions(California Health & Safety Code 124125 to 124165)Declared childhood lead exposure as the most significant childhood environmental health problem in the state. Established the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program and instructed it to continue to take steps necessary to reduce the incidence of childhood lead exposure in California.
Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Act of 1991(California Health & Safety Code 105275 to 105310) Reaffirmed California's commitment to lead poisoning prevention activities; provided CDPH with broad mandates on blood lead screening protocols, laboratory quality assurance, identification and management of lead exposed children, and reducing lead exposures.
Laboratory Blood Lead Reporting Requirements(California Health & Safety Code 124130) Requires laboratories analyzing human blood drawn in California for lead to report all blood lead test results, on persons of any age, to the State. Analyzing laboratories must also report specific information on the person tested, the ordering physician, the analyzing laboratory, and the test performed. Information must be reported electronically.
Accreditation of Training Providers and Certification of Individuals(California Health & Safety Code 105250) Establishes a program to accredit lead-related construction training providers and certify individuals to conduct lead-related construction activities.
Lead-Safe Housing and Lead Hazards(California Civil Code 1941.1; California Health & Safety Code 17961, 17980, 124130, 17920.10, 105251 to 105257) Deems a building to be in violation of the State Housing Law if it contains lead hazards, and requires local enforcement agencies to enforce provisions related to lead hazards. Makes it a crime for a person to engage in specified acts related to lead hazard evaluation, abatement, and lead-related constructions courses, unless certified or accredited by the Department. Permits local enforcement agencies to order the abatement of lead hazards or issue a cease and desist order in response to lead hazards.
Lead Exposure Screening(California Health & Safety Code 1367.3) Requires health care service plans, covering hospital, medical, or surgical expenses on a group basis, to offer benefits that include screening for blood lead levels in at-risk children.
(California Insurance Code, Section 10119.8) Requires insurers offering individual or group disability insurance policies, covering hospital, medical, or surgical expenses, to offer coverage for blood lead screening.
Real Estate Disclosure Requirements (California Civil Code 1102 to 1102.16) Requires the disclosure of known lead-based paint hazards upon sale of a property.
Lead-Safe Schools Protection Act (California Education Code 32240 to 32245) Implemented a lead poisoning prevention and protection program for California schools for a survey to ascertain risk factors that predicted lead contamination in public schools. The survey was completed in 1998. Findings of the survey are under Materials and Products.
Lead-Related Activities in Construction Work (California Labor Code 6716 to 6717) Provides for the establishment of standards that protect the health and safety of employees who engage in lead-related construction work, including construction, demolition, renovation and repair.
Lead in Children's Toys (California Health & Safety Code 108550 to 108580) Prohibits the manufacture, sale, or exchange of toys with lead content in excess of the amount permitted by federal regulations.
Lead in Candy(California Health & Safety Code 110552)Limits the amount of lead in candies and lead in candy wrappers to naturally occurring levels.
Lead in Jewelry(California Health & Safety Code 25214.1 to 25214.4.2)Limits the amount of lead allowed in jewelry.
Lead in Plumbing(California Health & Safety Code 116875 to 116880)Requires the use of lead-free pipes and fixtures in any installation or repair of a public water system or in a facility where water is provided for human consumption.
Occupational Lead Poisoning Prevention (California Health & Safety Code 105185 to 105197) Establishes an occupational lead poisoning prevention program to register and monitor laboratory reports of adult lead toxicity cases, monitor reported cases of occupational lead poisoning to ascertain lead poisoning sources, conduct investigations of take-home exposure cases, train employees and health professionals regarding occupational lead poisoning prevention, and recommended means for lead poisoning prevention.
For more information, please see Healthcare Providers pages. Specifies a standard of care for health care providers, regarding screening and assessing for childhood lead poisoning. It includes anticipatory guidance, risk assessment, and blood lead testing for children at risk for lead poisoning.
For more information, see the Lead-Related Construction pages.Requirements for lead hazard evaluation and abatement activities, accreditation of training providers, and certification of individuals engaged in lead-based paint activities.

Elderly retiree criticizes proposed PERS changes
I applaud former public school principal John Cother on his opinion article on Jan. 15.
As a state retiree recipient I am very disappointed in Sen. Nancy Collins concerning Public Employee Retirement System funds and her plan to freeze yearly cost of living (COLA) for these public retirees.
She also throws out irresponsible figures without any explanation to the general public who may not be familiar with the state retiree system.
This fund is built for each employee through month by month payroll deductions over the years of employment and matched by the state.
Upon retirement the employee receives the amount he/she has labored for monthly. The COLA amounts, though small, are vital to us to stay abreast of rising costs. No person receives any amount not earned and promised.
I suggest that any changes considered should be made to newer and future state employees who have time ahead to build their retirement, just as we have done, and not to penalize those who have served the state well and depend on these promises.
Also, the PERS board should continue to consist of members within the system and avoid the political takeover plan proposed.
My thanks to the legislators who are fighting to protect us, the elderly retirees, and I ask that the public acquaint themselves with this matter instead of accepting random information thrown at us.
Janie C. Williams

The Sta-Rite Mod Media™ filter contains a one-piece module that simply drops into an easily accessible tank. When cleaning is necessary, just remove the lid (no tools are necessary) and spray-rinse the module while it is still in place. It only takes minutes to thoroughly clean the filter and get back into service—fast!
The balanced-flow tank design directs water through both sides of the filter module which increases dirt-loading without clogging. Holding more dirt means a longer time between cleanings.
Balanced-flow tank design works in unison with the high capacity filter module to collect dirt over its entire surface—holds more dirt so you clean less often. Less frequent cleaning also increases filter module service life and lowers lifetime costs.
• Rugged composite construction resists corrosion and weathering.
• Compact design fits easily in tight installations and can be easily shielded from view.
• Greater dirt-loading capacity reduces maintenance
• Top-mounted pressure gauge and information panels are positioned for easy reading.
• Split tank design permits simple, thorough rinse-in-place cleaning to save time.
• Posi-Ring® closure is safe, easy to secure, lasts for years.
• Balanced-flow tank hydraulics direct water through each side of the filter module for uniform dirt loading to prevent clogging and maximize filtration effectiveness.

Last Thursday, the Jackie Robinson Rotunda at Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, echoed with laughter and excitement. Kids from all over New York City gathered to take part in a day of activities meant to motivate them by teaching them about the life of baseball great Jackie Robinson. The program, known as Citi Field Kids Day, is now in its third year.
Jackie Robinson Scholar Daniella Jones led the group of middle school and high school students on a tour of the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, a section of the ballpark dedicated to the baseball player. Jones talked about Robinson's inspiring life. He became the first player to break baseball's color barrier when he signed a contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1945. Before Robinson, there were no African-American players in Major League Baseball. Robinson's life, said Jones, was guided by nine values: courage, integrity, determination, persistence, citizenship, justice, commitment, teamwork and excellence.
The kids then met with Wes Moore, author of a bestselling book about overcoming challenges in his own life. Moore spoke about Robinson's accomplishments. "We are the product of our expectations," Moore said, noting that Jackie Robinson faced many challenges yet had big goals and dreams. Moore encouraged the kids to reach out to those around them for support and guidance. Mets general manager Sandy Alderson also spoke about the importance of teamwork. "Little in life is accomplished on our own," he said.
The Mets mascot, Mr. Met, greeted all the kids and led them to their seats as the Mets took to the field to play the defending world champions, the San Francisco Giants. Proving that teamwork really does pay off, the Mets won the game 5-2. It was a great day on and off the field.

The Good Fight
By Marisa Demarco
For all of the polluting industries that have thrived here since the Manhattan Project, New Mexico is also teeming with citizen environmental activists. These are people who in their free time—after work, after the kids are asleep—pore over reams of documents, learn about bureaucratic processes and permits, and put up a fight on behalf of their neighbors. They study, they attend meetings, they write letters, they become experts on industry and its effects. Here are a few of their stories.

Massachusetts Name Change Guide
In order to change your name, you must complete two major steps:
Legal Name Change: Obtain a legal name change document
Name Change Notification: Notify government and professional organizations of your name change
If you are seeking a marriage name change or divorce name change, and you already have a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or official name change court order, then you have completed step 1. You can immediately proceed to Name Change Notification, where you will find a detailed list of all of the steps involved, as well as links to all of the relevant name change forms and name change information you will need to notify the relevant agencies of your name change.
If you are changing your name, or a minor's name, for reasons other than marriage or divorce, and you do not already have an official name change document, you must start with step 1, Legal Name Change.
Legal name change, as the phrase implies, is the process of actually changing one's legal name. In the case of a marriage or divorce, this is accomplished by obtaining a marriage license or divorce decree which clearly states the previous name and the new name. Thus in the case of marriages and divorces, which constitute the vast majority of name changes in the United States, the legal name change process is nearly automatic and stems from the marriage/divorce document. Thus people in these situations can typically jump to the second step of the name change process: Name Change Notification. However, for those people who change their names for reasons other than marriage and divorce, and there are many people who do so for a wide variety of reasons, they must first obtain a legal name change from the court. Typically, a person must petition a court in their state for a name change, and the court can then decide whether or not to grant it. There is a lot of information to know here, and the rules vary by state. (back to top)
NewLastName provides the rules, information, and petitions for Massachusetts' Legal Name Change process here.
Once the legal name change is complete, the job is only half done. A person must then inform a number of important organizations and agencies of the name change in order to make it official. That is, a person must update his or her new name with the Social Security Agency, DMV, Passport Agency, etc., not to mention his or her employer, banks, insurance providers and other professional and personal affiliations. This process can be tedious as it requires the filing of several forms and updating ones name with numerous organizations. (back to top)
NewLastName provides a detailed checklist of all the steps involved in registering one's new name as well as links to all the relevant forms and information for Massachusetts' Name Change Notification process here.
