Three children were trapped in a elevator at the Rood center yesterday. Consolidate fire Department Battalion Chief Spike Newby says two fire trucks responded.
"We had two engines respond to the government center there on Maidu Avenue for some individuals that were apparently stuck in the elevator. The Engine's company attempted to try to free the individuals from the elevator but were unsuccessful and therefore stood by until the elevator technician could arrive."
Once the elevator technician arrived the children were freed unharmed. The elevator remains out of service.

Searching by Keyword
For most searches, using the keyword feature to find books in the catalog is your best choice. It looks for a word or words in the title fields, subject fields, and contents notes of every record.
To perform a keyword search, click on the drop-down menu, and highlight and click on the "keyword" option, as illustrated in the screen shot below:
Then type in the term(s) you want to search for in the box pictured below, and click "Search" or hit "enter." The computer will look for every catalog record containing all the terms you type in:
Searching by Library of Congress (LC) Subject HeadingHowever, there are some occasions when searching by LC (or Library of Congress) subject heading would result in a better search.
If instead, however, you were to use the LC subject heading "World War, 1939-1945," you would find over 40 entries dealing specifically with World War II. So in this case, searching by "LC subject headings" instead of by "subject word" would produce a better result.
How to Search by LC Subject Heading
To search by LC subject heading, choose the LC subject headings option in the drop down menu of the catalog, as illustrated below, and type in your LC term in the box provided:
If you don't know what LC subject heading to use, see Finding a valid LC subject heading for tips on how to identify appropriate LC subject headings.
Finding a Valid LC Subject Heading
If you don't know what constitutes a valid LC subject heading, do a subject word search, and in a relevant record, scroll down to the field that says Subject:, highlighted in blue in the screen shot for a record from the "Buddhism" search below:
Subjects listed in this field, like "Buddhism" highlighted in the screen shot above, are legitimate LC subject headings; if you click on them, they will search for all other records in our catalog that have that specific LC subject heading assigned to them.
If you're having trouble finding relevant searches on your topic, try some of the following techniques to expand or broaden your search:
For example, if you do an LC subject heading search for "sports medicine," you'll get a list of LC subject headings that includes "Sports Medicine--6 related subjects," as indicated in the screen shot below:
If you click on this link, you'll then get a list of 6 "see also" references that suggest other LC subject headings related to that of "Sports Medicine." These include "Doping in Sports," "Sports Injuries," and "Sports Physical Therapy," among others, as illustrated in the screen shot below:
Clicking on these "see also" links produces a list of all the records with each particular LC heading assigned to it, as illustrated for "Doping in Sports" below:
Using the "related subjects" and "see also" LC headings increases the number of places you're looking for similar information, therefore broadening or expanding the original number of links to records that cover similar subjects to the original one of "Sports Medicine."
 Narrowing Your Search
If you're overwhelmed by too many hits (25 is probably the maximum number to deal with comfortably at a time), experiment with some of the following ways to narrow your search. (Narrowing either reduces the number of results or re-sorts them into a more manageable order.):
In order to sort items (including books, e-books, government documents, audiovisuals, etc.) by date, you must first search the catalog. You may search using any of the methods available, but searching by subject, author or title are the most frequently used. Then sort those items by date by doing the following:
Limit Your Search to Items in a Specific Location in the Library
You can limit your searches to a specific location in the library. This can help when you are trying to find a particular type of resource such as an electronic book, a government document, a children's book, a map, or a secondary school textbook. Instructions for doing this are listed below:
All the locations in the library should appear on this menu. E-Books are in the Electronic Books collections. Children's books in the Curriculum Lab are referred to as CL Easy Readers, CL J Fiction, CL J Non-Fiction or CL Young Adult. Secondary school textbooks in the Curriculum Lab are referred to as CL Textbook. (For help with other locations see the reference librarian.)
Limit your Search to Textbooks in the Curriculum Lab
To look at all the textbooks held in Hackney Library, search the catalog by title, using "textbooks" as your search term, as illustrated in the screen shot below:
The results are listed by grade level and by subject, as seen in the following screen shot:
To see a list of textbooks in a particular grade level and subject area, (for example, Grade 1, Language Arts--in line 3 of the preceding screen shot ), click on the corresponding link, and the results will display as seen in the following screen shot:
The results are listed by grade level, with the location "CL Textbooks" in the location field, followed by a three-part call number separated by dashes, as seen in the following screen shot:
(For a more complete explanation of these "call numbers" for textbooks, see our North Carolina Textbook Codes page.) All K-12 textbooks are located in the Curriculum Lab in Hackney Library.
Videos are included in the library catalog. To find a video on a particular topic, you must first search the catalog by keyword to find all the materials on that topic. Then limit your results to those materials that are videos. Instructions for doing this are listed below:
This will retrieve only those items on your topic that are videos, indicated by the film icon in the following results list :
Browsing by call number can be useful in locating books similar to those you've already found helpful. It's the electronic equivalent of standing in front of a bookshelf that contains a helpful book and looking at those shelved near it. Call numbers are the numbers on the spines of books, audiovisual cases, and other items in the library. They are assigned to items based on the topics they cover. Items with the same or similar call numbers treat the same or related aspects of specific subjects and are therefore shelved together.
To browse by call number, choose "call number" from the options given for searching the catalog, as highlighted in blue below, and type in the call number of an item for which you'd like to find similar works; then click "Search":
The results are listed beginning with items having the call number you typed in. For more information about the item, click on the call number to see the full record, including its location in the library and its availability:
Searching Using a Partial Title
Even if you don't know the exact or the complete title of a book, you can still search for it in our catalog by doing the following: Instead of searching the library catalog by title, try searching by keyword and using what you think is the title as your search term. A keyword search looks in the title field of a record as well as other fields, but is more forgiving than a title search. You don't need to know the exact title, as long as you know some of the words. In contrast, when you search by title, you must use the exact title to bring up a record.
See the following example of using a keyword search for the partial title "confederate widow" to find the novel Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All by Allan Gurganus:
Marking Catalog Records (To Email, Save, or Print Catalog Search Results):
Searching the catalog by any method (by subject word, author, title, etc.) produces a list of results or records. (If only one item is found to match your search, the record for that item is displayed rather than a list of records.) These can be marked selectively for printing, emailing, or saving by doing the following:
Your list should print as it appears on the screen.
If your email is sent successfully, you will get an "E-Mail Sent" message in red above your list, as illustrated below:
When you do so, a box will appear asking you whether you want to open the file or save it to your computer. Click "Save," and then navigate to the flash or hard drive to save it there. You can then open the saved file in a word processing or text program later:
What If a Catalog Search Doesn't Provide the Resources I need?
Hackney Library offers a service called Interlibrary Loan to its patrons. If you need a book or a journal article that is not available in the library's collection, we will borrow it for you from another library. This service is generally free for books and articles. Please see our Interlibrary Loans page for more information.

There are many factors buyers should take into account when deciding which projector to buy, including resolution, brightness, weight and size, connectivity and, most importantly, price. But, a recent study conducted by the Munsell Color Science Laboratory at the Rochester Institute of Technology - commissioned by Texas Instruments (TI) - revealed that projectors featuring DLP (digital light processing) technology deliver out-of-the-box image quality for many thousands of hours. By contrast, the picture quality delivered by projectors using LCD technology degrades both measurably and visibly - so much so that the projector is rendered virtually unusable over time. TI's scientists have concluded that this degradation is caused by long-term exposure of the organic materials used in LCD technology to blue and ultraviolet light.
The impact of this is clear: projectors based on LCD technology will need to be replaced more frequently than projectors featuring DLP technology, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership for the latter. However, the cost savings is only one of the many advantages of DLP projectors. The higher contrast and minimal pixellation of DLP technology delivers superior image quality, especially in video applications. The technology's digital nature means that it is inherently more reliable and more capable of faithful image reproduction. And its single-panel architecture results in projectors that are smaller and lighter, making them more portable and flexible.
School systems today are struggling to make the most out of ever-shrinking budgets by making sound investments in equipment. When purchasing a projector, it's still important to compare features such as resolution, brightness and weight. But keep in mind that in the end, it is a projector's reliability that will provide the greatest return on your investment. For more information about TI's DLP technology, visit www.dlp.com.

Willie Harris's bottom of the ninth walk-off single wasn't one of the most exciting moment of the Nationals 3-2 victory last night. No, that came from the Nationals starting pitcher, Scott Olsen.
Olsen's previous two starts had been an indicator that perhaps the 26-year-old starting pitcher was bound for a strong comeback this season. But no-one expected what happened last night.
The Nationals left-hander who had been left off the opening day roster took the mound in the top of the eighth after having struck out eight Braves batters. Olsen was miles away from the pitcher he was in Florida, from being the hurler who had been left-behind in favor of a rookie who bombed his final three spring training starts. With that all behind him now, he took the mound without anyone (aside form Mark Zuckerman) willing to state out loud the importance of the next six batters, but with everyone knowing in the back of their mind he had a strong chance to become the first Washington National to throw a no hitter.
After striking out Matt Diaz to start the eighth, he quickly gave up a single to Braves catcher David Ross, effectively breaking up the no-no. Through 7.1 innings, Olsen had allowed only two base runners, one on an error, and only one hit coming in the top of the eighth.
For Olsen it was the second straight game he had pitched at least six innings with no more than six hits, and would eventually bring to an end a 20 inning shutout streak. While the previous two starts were strong showings for Olsen, this one meant something more. Back from the brink of irrelevance, Olsen was not only finally respected, but now feared on the mound.
In 98 pitches the lefty had a bit more velocity than he had in his previous starts. Coming off of surgery this offseason, Olsen had only been throwing in the high 80's with his fastball, but last night his heater reached 92.2 MPH as its max speed and rested at about 90 MPH. This is a strong sign that his arm is getting stronger after surgery and he could in fact continue to improve.
Olsen sliced through Braves hitters, striking out eight with a devastating slider and strong changeup. In total he through the change 34 times for 23 strikes and four swinging strikes, while tossing the nickel-curve 19 times for 14 strikes and four swinging strikes. As we have said here in the past, his success lives and dies on his slider, as evidenced by its presence in his strong three outings in a row.
Unfortunately the wheels fell off after allowing the hit to Ross. Melky Cabrera reached on a throwing error by Ryan Zimmerman, and McLouth singled to load the bases. That stretch earned a yank from Jim Riggleman. Olsen would walk off the mound with a standing, despite the grim situation he left the game in. Clippard would come in relief and surrender only one hit. Unfortunately that hit would drive in two runs, taking away a decision from Olsen after he allowed only two earned runs on two hits and struck out eight in 7.1 innings of work.
While Clippard picked up the blown save, he would also pick up the win after Willie Harris drove in Adam Kennedy to win the game in the bottom of the ninth.

Police: Man confesses in ex-girlfriend's death, body found in West Texas
Police say a man has confessed to killing his ex-girlfriend in Houston and trying to bury her body hundreds of miles away in a West Texas oil field.
Houston police said in a statement Monday that 37-year-old Mark Augustin Castellano was facing a murder charge in the death of 31-year-old Michelle Warner.
The statement says the woman was last seen Sept. 22 and was reported missing by family members who said she disappeared after an argument with Castellano.
According to police, Castellano told investigators Sunday that he drove their 3-year-old son to Odessa in West Texas before returning to retrieve the body from her apartment. Investigation say he told them he drove back to the Midland-Odessa area and took her body to an oil field.
Castellano doesn't have an attorney yet.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (6/9/14) — The Owensboro Convention Center has announced the addition of two new members to the Global Spectrum team.
The new hires are both talented and eager individuals, who each bring a unique skillsets to the table.
"We are really excited to welcome two new people to our events team, and I know that their skills will be invaluable to the Owensboro Convention Center," said Dean Dennis, Global Spectrum's General Manager of the Owensboro Convention Center.
Todd Denk joined the team as a new Event Manager at the Owensboro Convention Center. Denk has an impressive background including previously working as the General Manager at Roberts Stadium for 13 years. In 2012, he also was employed as a contracted promoter rep, which allowed him the opportunity to go on tour with several famous country music acts.
Denk graduated from the University of Southern Indiana with a degree in Communications. He enjoys listening to live music, watching movies, and spending time with his family, including his wife Misty and their twins, Kyle and Tyler.
Kate Douglas has been working as a part-time Event Coordinator since before the opening in January, and has joined the full-time staff as an Event Supervisor. Prior to working for Global Spectrum, she was a Staff Assistant for a not-for-profit called Public Notice in Arlington, VA.
Before that Douglas worked as an intern in Washington, D.C. for Congressman Guthrie. During her time working in Washington, Douglas had the opportunity to actually coordinate an event that took place on Capitol Hill.
"I really enjoy working at the Owensboro Convention Center, and it has given me many opportunities to continue learn and grow," stated Douglas. "My favorite part of the job is getting to know so many people throughout the community by helping plan various events."
Kate is a graduate of Western Kentucky University, where she was a Travel Stead Scholar from 2009 to 2011. She now resides in her hometown of Owensboro, and enjoys singing, photography and hiking.

New Survey: 71% Of People Helping Pay For College Worried About Financial Burden
NEW YORK, July 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- School might be out for summer, but a new nationwide survey conducted for TheStreet's (NASDAQ: TST) MainStreet by GfK North America 1 finds that one in three adults are currently helping or planning to help pay for a child's higher education, and that 71% of them are worried about how they will cover the cost.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130729/NY54509-INFO )
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130102/NY35868LOGO-b )
The survey also shows that of those saving:
- 79% are parents, 10% are grandparents, 4% are aunts/uncles
- 53% are using a savings account, 31% are using some type of investments, 24% are using a 529 savings plan or prepaid tuition plan, 14% are using life insurance, 11% are using a Roth IRA
- Those with an income of over $75,000 (25%) are more likely to use 529 plans than those with an income under $75,000 (11%)
- On average, they are saving $6,850 annually towards college
- Think In-State: Great schools like the University of Virginia only cost $12,000 for those in-state and in certain parts of the country, states have grouped together to form "academic common markets." To get access to a particular dream school at "in-state" prices, you don't need to be in-state.
- Go to a public institution or start at a two-year school: New York University is the most expensive private school (with an annual price-tag of $60,407), but according to the National Center for Educational Statistics, the annual price for public colleges is more than $18,000 less than the average price of private ones.
- Go over the border: Scotland's St. Andrews and the University of Edinburgh—not to mention Trinity in Dublin Ireland—are prestigious institutions at a fraction of the cost of American private schools. To boot, McGill University and Concordia University in Montreal are 3/5 the cost of tuition at comparable private institutions in the U.S.
- Go with an MOOC (a massive online open course): MOOCs first appeared on the higher education landscape in 2008 but gained traction when top universities endorsed them and provided access to their courses. The popular providers of MOOCs include Coursera, Udacity, edX and NovoEd. You can get a top education without paying $50,000 a year. The legitimacy is ever expanding: the American Council on Education recently approved five Coursera courses for degree credit.
- Get Crafty: The Department of Education College Affordability and Transparency Center generates reports based on your selected criteria and reveals the lowest-priced tuition in the U.S. is only $910 at the private Berea College in Kentucky, and somehow almost half that ($430) at that lowest-priced public school: Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas. It may not be Harvard, but with tuition that low, you will put less stress on your savings.

Knoxville (WVLT) - The votes are in and there are four new city council members in Knoxville.
Only one of those races was contested. That's seat A where incumbent Joe Bailey wins over Ray Abbas.
In the city council seat B going to Chris Woodhull, seat C going to Marilyn Roddy and the fifth district seat going to Bob Becker, all of those candidates were running unopposed.
Mayor Bill Haslam and City Judge John Rossen, Junior were elected in a primary election earlier this year.
So far, only a little over 1,500 people in Knoxville have voted in the early election.

What You Could Buy with the Average Tax Increase
American Thinker
What's $1,635 per year more in taxes for tens of millions of households? That's just $136.25 taken from a family budget per month. Like prudent mobsters, President Obama and Speaker Boehner are just skimming a little from your earnings to keep the nation from falling off that awful fiscal cliff. As patriots, on the order of 1984, we should all rejoice that Big Brother knows best.
Let's see what a paltry $1,635 buys annually, shall we? And, dear reader, feel free to add to the list. How about a…
- 1. Whirlpool 26.4 cu. ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator Stainless Steel. On sale at Sears for $1,348.99;
- 2. Sony – 46″ Class (46″ Diag.) – LED – 1080p – 240 Hz – Smart – 3D – HDTV. At Best Buy: $1,599.98;
- 3. GE Profile Harmony 4.5 cu. ft. Top Load Washer in White. At Home Depot: $1,079.10. Add a GE 6.8 cu. ft. Electric Dryer in White. Home Depot priced: $430.20. Grand total: $1,509.30;
- 4. Samsung 24″ Dishwasher (Energy Star® compliant). Samsung's price: $949.00;
- 5. Dell Ships Fast Latitude E6430 laptop computer. Dell's price: $1,399.00
And $136.25 monthly? What does that buy or help offset?
How about groceries? Read this from Daily Finance (and weep):
The Department of Agriculture Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion estimates a moderate weekly grocery bill for a family of four with school-age children at roughly $236.60, which translates into an annual family budget of approximately $12,300 for food consumed at home.
Assuming the anticipated 5% increase in food prices next year, a family of four is looking at an additional $615 on their annual grocery bill in 2013.

I think it's important to recognize that the 2% FICA increase is simply removing an Obama decrease. I don't think we ever should have implemented a decrease in FICA withholding, although I'm not complaining about the extra money in my pocket.
That leaves plenty to complain about, with the various Obamacare tax hits, and more importantly the lack of jobs, salary decrease and increased cost of healthcare, energy and everything else due to lib & Obama policies.+5
I was thinking with the extra $1635 the average family could've bought a nice tricked out AR and another glock.
Surprised that isn't next on his agenda, ways to take more of your money so you can't buy any more guns.
Watch and see, he'll enact a huge excise tax on guns, the progss only want you to stimulate the economy with things THEY think you should be buying, like green cars, and solar panels.
Like when our dumbshit POTUS, told people to start spending money and buy a new car…what a dolt.+2
S&W 500 Magnum $1,035. You would even have the change to buy some ammo and a cleaning kit.+2
It's gonna take more than voting at the ballot box to enact real change in this country. This parfait approach to politics ain't working.+3
That's about 16.35 weeks of fuel for me and Menderwoman.+3
@Left Coast Dan,
Don't forget the hidden side of that…the part the 'employer' pays on your behalf…or for me, being self employed, I pay it directly. I think that one has gone up an additional 4% with the obummercare fees. I can't find what the new combined rate is yet…+3
A Bushmaster XM15E2S $1150.00(pre Newtown)+2
$136.25 That's food for my family for a week. My parent left Russia to get away from crap like this. With the 13% flat tax in Russia these days, I am beginning to wonder if I wouldn't be better going back!+4
That's about 90 bales of alfalfa at current local prices. Or our house payment. I hope I don't have to choose one over the other…+3
Sig Sauer P220 — .45 ACP — Under $1000+3
Obama is an economic dolt+5
Did I mention that my personal contribution to my future social security retirement fund was an ADDITIONAL $826 dollars a year?+2
Well, looks like no Disneyland for my niece and her twin girls. LMAO cuz she voted for Obummer! I'll have to send her a postcard from Disneyland or from a cruise ship rubbing it in.+1
What if we all took that money, pooled it all together and hired a hitman, the best one in the phone book. Gee, I wonder who we could sic him on …0
hey there, occasionally when I first go to this web site I get immediately redirected to a different page which appears very peculiar. You might want to take a look at why this is occurring! Cya0

Question: Don't the relatively large ratings numbers for NBC's Saturday Olympics coverage prove that there is still an audience for network fare on Saturday night? I'm not convinced many stayed home specifically to watch the Olympics. I think most just flipped around the dial and stopped on something that looked like it was worth watching. Don't the networks create a self-fulfilling prophecy by not programming anything worth watching on Saturday nights and then claiming there's no audience for programming on that night? Worse, it looks like the networks may be headed in the same direction on Friday nights. I'm convinced that a solid comedy block on either night would eventually deliver large numbers for them. Maybe not at first, because viewers are conditioned to avoid the networks on those nights. But if they actually made the effort, I think viewers would follow. Your thoughts?
Answer: It's a good and always pertinent question, but this particular self-fulfilling prophecy appears to

The free DuoLingo service already has an army of aspirational bilingual supporters, but that's no reason to rest on your laurels. Today the developers have updated the Android app with a few changes to the user interface. The basics of the app have only been tweaked slightly - a digital spit and polish, if you will - but extra screens added to the end of lessons and progression screens should help users get a feel for where they are in the program.
One problem that Android app developers (specifically game developers) have had to face is the size limit for apps in the Android Market, because up until now it's been a measly 50MB. For most apps that is more than enough, but for others - like graphically intense games, for example - it's not even close, so developers had to jump through hoops and implement downloading of additional resources manually. Remember Spectral Souls with its 1GB of data?
It seems that Gingerbread is bringing the Market revamp we've all been hoping for - but that doesn't mean devices running older versions of Android can't join in on the fun, too. Google has announced via the Android Developers blog that the Android Market client will be receiving an update over the next two weeks that brings several important changes, and any device running Android 1.6 and up will receive it (sorry, Cupcake users, you're out of luck).

The AD2700 family of precision 10 volt references offer the user excellent accuracy and stability at a moderate price by combining the recognized advantages of thin film technology and active laser trimming. The low temperature drift (3ppm/°C) achieved with these technologies can be matched only by the use of ovens, chip heaters for temperature regulation, or with hand selected components and manual trimming. In addition, temperature-regulated devices are guaranteed only up to +85° operation, whereas the U- and S-grade devices in the AD2700 family are guaranteed to +125°C.

The Niobrara tight oil shale play is the oilfield equivalent of the young athlete, who is built up as having world-class potential, only to struggle in meeting the lofty expectations. To be sure, the near-universal euphoria that accompanied high initial flowrates a couple of years ago has been replaced with cautious optimism, as operators work to further their understanding of the complex organic-rich play in the heart of the U.S. Rockies.
Nevertheless, despite a comparatively brief, and at times fickle, horizontal exploration and production history, and ever-increasing environmental challenges, the independent, largely home-grown operators dominating the liquids-rich Niobrara continue to maintain reasonably stable drilling programs. In the meantime, geophysical investigations are underway to get a better grasp of the highly variable natural fracturing, to help operators uncover the secrets to increasing the drainage of horizontal and multi-frac wellbores in what was once hyped as the "Bakken-lite."

The wholesale separation of Indian children from their families is perhaps the most tragic and destructive aspect of American Indian life today.
Surveys of states with large Indian populations conducted by the Association on American Indian Affairs (AAIA) in 1969 and again in 1974 indicate that approximately 25-35 percent of all Indian children are separated from their families and placed in foster homes, adoptive homes, or institutions. In some states the problem is getting worse: in Minnesota, one in every eight Indian children under the eighteen years of age is living in an adoptive home; and, in 1971-72, nearly one in every four Indian children under one year of age was adopted.
The disparity in placement rates for Indians and non-Indians is shocking. In Minnesota, Indian children are placed in foster care or in adoptive homes at a per capita rate five times greater than non-Indian children. In Montana, the ratio of on Indian foster care placement is at least 13 times greater. In South Dakota, 40 percent of all adoptions made by the States Department of Public Welfare since 1967-68 are of Indian children, yet Indians make up only 7 percent of the juvenile population. The number of South Dakota Indian children living in foster homes is, per capita, nearly 16 times greater than the non-Indian rate. In the state of Washington, the Indian adoption rate is 19 times greater and the foster care rate ten times greater. In Wisconsin, the risk run by Indian children of being separated from their parents is nearly 1600 percent greater than it is for non-Indian children. Just as Indian children are exposed to these great hazards, their parents are too.
The federal boarding school and dormitory programs also contribute to the destruction of Indian family and community life. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), in its school census for 1971, indicates that 34,538 children live in its institutional facilities rather than at home. This represents more than 17 percent of the Indian school-age
*Originally published by the Association on American Indian Affairs, 1977. Reprinted by permission of the Association, Tekakwitha Agency Road, #7, Sisseton, SD 57262. This article was written before passage of the Indian Child Welfare Act, which incorporated many of its recommendations.
population of federally-recognized reservations and 60 percent of children enrolled in BIA schools. On the Navajo Reservation, about 20,000 children or 90 percent of the BIA school population in grades K-12 live at boarding schools. A number of Indian children are also institutionalized in mission schools, training schools, etc.
In addition to the trauma of separation from their families, most Indian children in placement or in institutions have to cope with the problems of adjusting to a social and cultural environment much different than their own. In 16 states surveyed in 1969, approximately 85 percent of all Indian children in foster care were living in non-Indian homes. In Minnesota today, according to state figures, more than 90 percent of non-related adoptions of Indian children are made by non-Indian couples. Few states keep as careful or complete child welfare statistics as Minnesota does, but informed estimates by welfare officials elsewhere suggest that this rate is the norm. In most federal and mission boarding schools, a majority of the personnel is non-Indian.
It is clear then that the Indian child welfare crisis is of massive proportions and that Indian families face vastly greater risks of involuntary separation than are typical of our society as a whole.
Some Causative Factors
How are we to account for this disastrous situation? The reasons appear very complex, and we realize we are far from perceiving them clearly or in their entirety. Here we can only offer a rough sketch of some of the factors. These include a lack of rational federal and state standards governing child welfare matters, a breakdown in due process, economic incentives, and the harsh social conditions in so many Indian communities. Our observations are based on a number of years experience working with Indian communities and in the courts in defense of Indian family life.
Standards.The Indian child welfare crisis will continue until the standards for defining mistreatment are revised. Very few Indian children are removed from their families on the grounds of physical abuse. One study of a North Dakota reservation showed that these grounds were advanced in only 1 percent of the cases. Another study of a Tribe in the Northwest showed the same incidence. The remaining 99 percent of the cases were argued on such vague grounds asneglect orsocial deprivationand on allegations of the emotional damage the
children were subjected to by living with their parents. Indian communities are often shocked to learn that parents they regard as excellent caregivers have been judged unfit by non-Indian social workers.
In judging the fitness of a particular family, many social workers, ignorant of Indian cultural values and social norms, make decisions that are wholly inappropriate in the context of Indian family life and so they frequently discover neglect or abandonment where none exists.
For example, the dynamics of Indian extended families are largely misunderstood. An Indian child may have scores of, perhaps more than a hundred, relatives who are counted as close, responsible members of the family. Many social workers, untutored in the ways of Indian family life or assuming them to be socially irresponsible, consider leaving the child with persons outside the nuclear family as neglect and thus as grounds for terminating parental rights.
In the DeCoteau case, the South Dakota Department of Public Welfare petitioned a State court to terminate the rights of a Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux mother to one of her two children on the grounds that he was sometimes left with his sixty-nine-year-old great-grandmother. In response to questioning by the attorney who represented the mother, the social worker admitted that Mrs. DeCoteaus four-year-old son, John, was well cared for, but added that the great-grandmotheris worried at times.
Because in some communities the social workers have, in a sense, become a part of the extended family, parents will sometimes turn to the welfare department for temporary care of their children, failing to recognize that their action is perceived quite differently by non-Indians.
Indian child rearing practices are also misinterpreted in evaluating a childs behavior and parental concern. It may appear that the child is running wild and that the parents do not care. What is labeled aspermissivenessmay often, in fact, simply be a different but effective way of disciplining children. BIA boarding schools are full of children with such spuriousbehavior problems.
Poverty, poor housing, lack of modern plumbing, and overcrowding are often cited by social workers as proof of parental neglect and are used as grounds for beginning custody proceedings. In a recent California case, the State tried to apply poverty as a standard against a Rosebud Sioux mother and child. At the mothers bidding, the childs
aunt took three-year-old Blossom Lavone from the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota to California. The mother was to follow. By the time she arrived one week later, the child had been placed in a pre-adoptive home by California social workers. The social workers asserted that, although they had no evidence that the mother was unfit, it was their belief that an Indian reservation is an unsuitable environment for a child and that the pre-adoptive parents were financially able to provide a home and a way of life superior to the one furnished by the natural mother. Counsel was successful in returning the child to her mother.
Ironically, Tribes that were forced onto reservations at gunpoint and prohibited from leaving without a permit, are now being told that they live in a place unfit for raising their children.
One of the grounds most frequently advanced for taking Indian children from their parents is the abuse of alcohol. However, this standard is applied unequally. In areas where rates of problem drinking among Indians and no-Indians are the same, it is rarely applied against non-Indian parents. Once again cultural biases frequently affect decision-making. The late Dr. Edward P. Dozier of Santa Clara Pueblo and other observers have argued that there are important cultural differences in the use of alcohol. Yet, by and large, non-Indian social workers draw conclusions about the meaning of acts or conduct in ignorance of these distinctions.
The courts tend to rely on the testimony of social workers who often lack the training and insights necessary to measure the emotional risk the child is running at home. In a number of cases, the AAIA has obtained evidence from competent psychiatrists who, after examining the defendants, have been able to contradict the allegations offered by the social workers. Rejecting the notion that poverty and cultural differences constitute social deprivation and psychological abuse, the Association argues that the state must prove that there is actual physical or emotional harm resulting from the acts of the parents.
The abusive actions of social workers would largely be nullified if more judges were themselves knowledgeable about Indian life and required a sharper definition of the standards of child abuse and neglect.
Discriminatory standards have made it virtually impossible for most Indian couples to qualify as foster or adoptive parents, since they based on middle class values. Recognizing that in some instances it is
necessary to remove children from their homes, community leaders argue that there are Indian families within in the Tribe who could provide excellent care, although they are of modest means. While some progress is being made here and there, the figures cited above indicate that non-Indian parents continue to furnish almost all the foster and adoptive care for Indian children.
Due Process. The decision to take Indian children from their natural homes is, in most cases, carried out without due process of law. For example, it is rare for either Indian children or their parents to be represented by counsel or to have the supporting testimony of expert witnesses.
Many cases do not go through an adjudicatory process at all, since the voluntary waiver of parental rights is a device widely employed by social workers to gain custody of children. Because of the availability of the waivers and because a great number of Indian parents depend on welfare payments for survival, they are exposed to the sometimes coercive arguments of welfare departments. In a current South Dakota entrapment case, an Indian parent in a time of trouble was persuaded to sign a waiver granting temporary custody to the State, only to find that this is now being advanced as evidence of neglect and grounds for the permanent termination of parental rights. It is an unfortunate fact of life for many Indian parents that the primary service agency to which they must turn for financial help also exercises police powers over their family life and is, most frequently, the agency that initiates custody proceedings.
The conflict between Indian and non-Indian social systems operates to defeat due process. The extended family provides an example. By sharing the responsibility for child rearing, the extended family tends to strengthen the communitys commitment to the child. At the same time, however, it diminishes the possibility that the nuclear family will be able to mobilize itself quickly enough when an outside agency acts to assume custody. Because it is not unusual for Indian children to spend considerable time away with other relatives, there is no immediate realization of what is happeningpossibly not until the opportunity for due process has slipped away.
There are the simple abductions. Benita Rowland was taken by two Wisconsin women with the collusion of a local missionary after her Oglala Sioux mother was tricked into signing a form purportedly granting them permission to take the child for a short visit, but, in fact, agreeing to her adoption. It was months before Mrs. Rowland could obtain counsel and regain her daughter.
It appears that custody proceedings against Indian people are also sometimes begun, not to rescue the children from dangerous circumstances, but to punish parents and children unjustly for conduct that is disapproved of. In a recent Nevada case, a Paiute mother had to go to court to recover her children following her arrest for a motor vehicle violation. Parents of Nevadas Duckwater Band of Paiutes were threatened with the loss of their children when they sought to open their own school under an approved federal grant and refused to send their children to a county-run school.
A few years ago, South Dakota tried to send an Oglala Sioux child to a State training school simply because she changed boarding schools twice in two months. In a report sent to us by a Minnesota social worker, she unashamedly recounts threatening her Indian client with the loss of her children if she isindiscreet.
And it can be so casualsometimes just a telephone call from an attorney or even the mere rumor that there is an attorney in the offing is enough to persuade a welfare department to drop the case. Sometimes it can be desperate. Ivan Brown was saved because the sheriff, the social worker and the prospective foster parents fled when the tribal chairman ran to get a camera to photograph their efforts to wrest him from his Indian guardians arms.
Economic Incentives. In some instances, financial considerations contribute to the crisis. For example, agencies established to place children have an incentive to find children to place. In towns with large federal boarding school facilities, merchants may fight to prevent their closing. Not long ago, in response to political intervention, one boarding school in the Great Plains was being phased out as unnecessary because the children could do better at home. The merchants complained and, again as a result of political pressure, the full school enrollment was restored. Very recently merchants protested the proposed closing of Intermountain School with its large Navajo enrollment, despite the fact the closing was advocated by the Navajo Tribe.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) bear a part of the responsibility for the current child welfare crisis. The BIA and HEW both provide substantial funding to state agencies for foster care and thus, in effect, subsidize the taking of Indian children.
Neither the BIA nor HEW effectively monitor the use of these federal funds. Indian community leaders charge that federally-subsidized foster care programs encourage some non-Indian families to start baby farmsin order to supplement their meager farm income with foster care payments and to obtain extra hands for farm work. The disparity between the ratio of Indian children in foster care versus the number of Indian children that are adopted seems to bear this out. For example, in Wyoming in 1969, Indians accounted for 70 percent of foster care placements but only 8 percent of adoptive placements. Foster care payments usually cease when a child is adopted.
In addition, there are economic disincentives. It will cost the federal and state governments a great deal of money to provide Indian communities with the means to remedy their situation. But over the long run, it will cost a great deal more money not to. At the very least, as a first step, we should find new and more effective ways to spend present funds.
Social Conditions. Low income, joblessness, poor health, sub-standard housing, and low educational attainmentthese are the reasons most often cited for the disintegration of Indian family life. It is not that clear-cut. Not all impoverished societies, whether Indian or non-Indian, suffer from catastrophically high rates of family breakdown.
Cultural disorientation, a persons sense of powerlessness, his loss of self-esteemthese may be the most potent forces at work. They arise, in large measure, from our national attitudes as reflected in long-established federal policy and from arbitrary acts of government.
The main thrust of federal policy, since the close of the Indian wars, has been to break up the extended family, the clan structure, to detribalize and assimilate Indian populations. The practice of Indian religions was banned; children were, and sometimes still are, punished for speaking their native tongue; even making beadwork was prohibited by federal officials. The Dawes Act (1887), the Indian Reorganization Act (1934), P. L. 83-280 (1953), and H. Con. Res. 108 (1953) became the instruments of that policy. They represent some of our experiments to reform Indian family and community life.
One of the effects of our national paternalism has been to so alienate some Indian parents from their society that they abandon their children at hospitals or to welfare departments rather than entrust them to the care of relatives in the extended family. Another expression of it is the involuntary, arbitrary, and unwarranted separation of families.
One of the most disturbing aspects of the whole child welfare tragedy is how little Indian resistance there is in so many casesand how much fear. CBS once taped an interview with an Indian woman who wept that she did not dare protest the taking of her children for fear of going to jail. In the Great Plains, one Indian judge, an employee of the BIA, dumbfounded when she learned she had had the power to reject the hundred custody petitions presented to her by the county welfare department, grieved that shewould not have placed one those children off the reservationand left her job.
But the crisis is largely invisiblethe children are gone. Over the years there has been, uniformly, a great concern among tribal officials about land and water rights, economic development, and the quality of education. In most communities, neither the BIA nor the county welfare department has deemed it necessary to report to the Tribes on the extent of the crisis. In those cases where information is available, tribal governments act swiftly. Too often they lack the financial and legal means to undertake comprehensive programs.
It has already been noted that the harsh living conditions in many Indian communities may prompt a welfare department to make unwarranted placements and that they make it difficult for Indian people to qualify as foster or adoptive parents. Additionally, because these conditions are often viewed as the primary cause of family breakdown and because generally there is no end to Indian poverty in sight, agencies of government often fail to recognize immediate, practical means to reduce the incidence of neglect or separation.
As surely as poverty imposes strains on the ability of families to function sometimes the extra burden that is too much to bear so too family breakdown contributes to the cycle of poverty.
Some Destructive Consequences. Because the family is the most fundamental economic, educational, and health care unit in society and the center of an individuals emotional life, assaults on Indian families help cause the conditions that characterize those cultures of poverty where large numbers of people feel hopeless, powerless, and unworthy.
Parents who fear they may lose their children may have their self-confidence so undermined that their ability to function successfully as parents is impaired, with the result that they lose their children. When the welfare department removes the children, it also removes much of the parents incentive to struggle against the conditions under which they live.
Children separated from their parents may suffer such severe distress that it interferes with their physical, mental, and social growth and development.
In her recent study, A Long Way from Home , Judith Kleinfeld observes that the boarding home programs and regional high schools for Alaska Natives arehelping to destroy a generation of village children.
She reports that their high school experience led to school-related social and emotional problems in 76 percent of the students in the rural boarding home program, 74 percent of the students in the boarding school, and 58 percent of the students in the urban boarding home program.
She found thatthe majority of the students studied either dropped out of school and received no further education or else transferred from school to school in a nomadic pattern that create identity problems.
Kleinfeld adds that the high school programs created other severe costs such as:
Identity confusion, which contributed to the problems many students had in meeting the demands of adult life.
Development of self-defeating styles of behavior and attitudes.
Grief of village parents, not at their childrens leaving home, but also at their childrens personal disintegration away from home.
The average program operating costs totaled over $5,000 per student.
A National Institute of Mental Health publication, Suicide, Homicide, and Alcoholism among American Indians , reports:
The American Indian population has a suicide rate about twice the national average . Some Indian reservations have suicide rates at least five or six times that of the Nation, especially among younger age groups. . . . While the national rate has changed but little over the last three decades, there has been a notable increase among Indians, especially in the younger age groups.
Among the nine social characteristics of the Indian most included toward a completed suicide, it includes: "He has lived with a number of ineffective or inappropriate parental substitutes because of family disruption. . . . He has spent time in boarding schools and has been moved one to another.
In our efforts to make Indian childrenwhitewe can destroy them.
It is fitting that the Congress consider these matters. It has plenary power over Indian affairs. Abuses described involve Constitutional issues. They frequently occur in the administration of federal programs and often have the active participation or tacit approval of federal officials. Congress has the power to help correct these abuses and to help Indian families and communities overcome the social and economic hardships they fact.
Therefore, we offer the following summary recommendations. Congress should enact such laws, appropriate such monies, and declare such policies as would:
We recognize that these issues demand careful consideration over a considerable period of time and involve questions of committee jurisdiction.
The ultimate responsibility for correcting the child welfare crisis must rest properly with the Indian communities themselves. A number are demonstrating today that, informed of the scope of the problem and having available even some of the means, dramatic progress can be made. Adoptive and foster care placements out of the Indian community have virtually ceased on the Warm Springs, Lake Traverse, Blackfeet, and a number of other reservations. Given the opportunity, Indian people will initiate their own, more effective programs for families and children, such as those developed by the Devils Lake Sioux, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, the Winnebago of Nebraska, and the Wisconsin American Indian Child Welfare Service Agency.
The training and employment of Indian lawyers, teachers, boarding school personnel, social workers, pediatricians, mental health professionals, and professional foster parents is vitally important. Tribal judges and police need more adequate training.
Measured in numbers, measured in terms of human suffering, and as a measure of the condition of our society and our government, the Indian child welfare crisis is appalling.
The American public will support the remedial measures that are necessary. In one New York community alone, twenty thousand citizens signed petitions calling for oversight hearings and volunteers raised funds to enable some of the witnesses to appear.
Indians, blacks, Chicanos, the poor, and parents that do not meet our social normsall are exposed to extraordinary risks of losing their children. If even one child is taken unjustly, all children are threatened. In the words of John Woodenlegs, a Northern Cheyenne,There is only one child, and her name is Children.

Pronounced: A-nul Sfink-ter-ot-o-me
This is a procedure to treat chronic anal fissures. An anal fissure is a painful tear in the lining of the anus. The anus is the opening through which stool passes from the body. Tears generally occur just inside the opening.
Anal Fissure

Muscle spasms in the rectum can prevent fissures from healing. A sphincterotomy relieves these muscle spasms. Anal fissures often heal by taking certain steps, such as:
When these do not work, a sphincterotomy may be done. This procedure allows the fissure to heal and decreases pain and spasms. Pain will begin to go away within a few days.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Before surgery, your doctor may do the following determine the extent of your fissure:
In the days leading up to the surgery, your doctor may:
You should also talk to your doctor about your medicines, herbs, and dietary supplements. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
Depending on which option is best for you, your doctor may give you:
If there are any skin tags near the fissure, they will be removed. Next, the doctor will carefully make a cut on the anal sphincter muscle. This will relax the sphincter and allow it to stretch, taking pressure off the fissure. The doctor will put a dressing into your anus to stop the bleeding.
Less than one hour
Anesthesetics will prevent pain during the procedure. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
You may be given pain medications and instructions for how to care for your rectal area. A nurse may change your dressing or instruct you on how to change it.
During your stay, the care center staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
When you return home, follow your doctor's instructions for a smooth recovery, such as:
