The first 'trail' was very steep. It looked more like a road. The second trail, the Madrone trail, was close though. There is a lot of poison oak! The trails were clear of it though. We stopped at the road and turned back. We didn't know we had to follow the road to continue to the rest of the trail. I will try again another dy!

This is a good local short hike for those of us who sometimes don't have a lot of time to budget but we just need to get out and get some fresh air and sunshine.
There is a gravel road that goes all the way to the top. its a steady climb of about 600 ft from the upper gate where most people park. there is also a groomed path that gives you a bit more of a technical climb. the trail distance to the top is about 1.4 miles by trail.
The Sullivan guide lists this one as not dog friendly, but everyone takes their dogs.
One other thing to consider is that the lower gate is closed at sundown. so if you arrive in the afternoon you will not have much time to enjoy the peak unless you park at the lower gate and walk in.

Who Should Own the World's Antiquities?
Who Owns Antiquity? Museums and the Battle Over Our Ancient Heritage
Whose Culture? The Promise of Museums and the Debate Over Antiquities
Last June, the directors of the leading art museums of the United States agreed to limit their acquisitions of antiquities to works that have left their "country of probable modern discovery" before 1970, or that were exported legally after that date. On the face of it, the decision, issued by the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD), did no more than update guidelines for ancient art—one of a number of such policy refinements by the association in recent years. In fact, however, it announced a tectonic shift in museum thinking about collecting art and artifacts of the distant past, a change that was unimaginable even five years ago.
For one, the moratorium implicitly concedes that the antiquities trade is rife with works that recently left the ground and were plundered, or illegally exported, or both. It also stakes out a position that goes well beyond the requirements of US law. But far more important, in choosing 1970 as a cutoff date—the symbolic year of a UNESCO convention against the illicit circulation of material deemed by particular nations to be their cultural property—the museums have eliminated the possibility of acquiring most of the ancient art available for sale today. In effect, the museum directors have made it clear that, for American museums, collecting antiquities has largely come to an end; and with it the system of private collectors and dealers that has sustained it since the late nineteenth century.
What accounts for this remarkable decision? After all, the conflict between large museums, which have depended on the free trade of art and artifacts to build their collections, and archaeology-rich nations, which have long sought to restrict or prohibit such trade, is not new. In the past, museums tended to dismiss charges by archaeologists and foreign governments that their collecting practices have abetted the plunder of ancient sites. Indeed, as recently as 2002, a group of top American and European museum directors signed a "Declaration on the Importance and Value of Universal Museums" that in no uncertain terms defended the dispersal of antiquities to encyclopedic museums in countries such as Britain, France, and the United States, and warned against efforts to "narrow the focus" of their collections by "calls to repatriate objects."
But much has changed since that self-confident statement. In 2003, the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York used an Egyptian national ownership law to convict Frederick Schultz, former president of the National Association of Dealers in Ancient, Oriental, and Primitive Art, for dealing in stolen art. Collectors and museums had long assumed that sweeping laws like Egypt's—declaring all ancient heritage to belong to the state—would not be recognized in the United States; but the Schultz case demonstrated unequivocally that such laws can be used to designate stolen property in US courts. Around the same time, the horrific looting of the Iraq Museum in Baghdad brought intense public scrutiny on the international trade in ancient art.1
Then, in April 2005, Marion True, former curator of the Getty Museum, was indicted in Rome for allegedly taking part in a conspiracy to traffic in Italian antiquities. That relatively little of the extraordinary evidence in the case directly concerns True herself is beside the point: the investigation has touched nearly every major US museum, showing that each one had acquired objects that were likely plundered from Italian soil in recent decades. Since the True indictment, no fewer than five leading museums have turned over dozens of prized objects to Rome, conceding Italy to be their rightful owner: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Getty, the Princeton Museum of Art—and, in late November 2008, the Cleveland Museum of Art.
On top of all this, a further change has been occurring within the museums themselves. Since the early 1990s, directors and curators who had been trained according to the freer collecting practices of earlier decades, and who believed that museums were justified in acquiring objects of world importance even if their archaeological provenance was unknown, have been giving way to a younger generation who are sensitive to the squalid reputation of the antiquities market and to the growing complaints of field archaeologists about damage to sites by looters. Nowhere has the change been more pronounced than at the Getty itself. Despite having a collection of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan art that consists, to an overwhelming extent, of works of unknown origin acquired since 1970, its leadership has gone further, and sooner, than that of any of its large peers in renouncing the antiquities market.2
Still, this shift in values has not been everywhere embraced. James Cuno's controversial defense of antiquities collecting, Who Owns Antiquity? Museums and the Battle Over Our Ancient Heritage, was circulating at AAMD meetings last spring even as its members were putting the new policy in final form. And Cuno has now edited a second volume, Whose Culture? The Promise of Museums and the Debate Over Antiquities, which includes essays by senior museum leaders and scholars who share in his skepticism—if not his single-minded fervor—about restricting the circulation of ancient works.3 Among them are Philippe de Montebello, the recently retired director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Neil MacGregor, the director of the British Museum, philosopher K. Anthony Appiah, classicist John Boardman, and cuneiform scholar David I. Owen.
In stressing the multiple meanings— aesthetic, textual, political, ritual—that an object may have, these contributors oppose the claim that art divorced from its archaeological setting is a cosa morta ("dead thing"), as an Italian cultural official described the Euphronios krater to de Montebello. "Few, I expect who have marveled at the scale and majesty of the Euphronios krater and the precision and elegance of line and its poignant depiction of a Homeric epic of the death of Sarpedon would concede that it is a cosa morta," de Montebello writes.
Although having not been properly excavated, it is far from meaningless…. All great works of art have, in addition to their historical and other learned contexts, an aesthetic context as well.
Leading the charge, though, is Cuno himself. The director of the Art Institute of Chicago, Cuno is not quite old enough to belong to the earlier twentieth-century tradition of museum collecting. Nor has the Art Institute been a target in the recent restitution campaigns by Mediterranean nations. And yet, not only does he not share the younger generation's changing attitude toward the antiquities market; he seems in many ways even less accommodating toward foreign governments than the old guard.
Who Owns Antiquity? is an impassioned argument for what Cuno calls the "cosmopolitan aspirations" of encyclopedic museums. By this he means not only collecting and showing art from every place and era, but also, and more crucially, the promotion of an essential kind of cultural pluralism, or, as Neil MacGregor puts it in an essay about the British Museum in WhoseCulture?, using art as "a way of creating a new kind of citizen for the world." For by juxtaposing such disparate objects, Cuno reminds us, these institutions
direct attention to distant cultures, asking visitors to respect the values of others and seek connections between cultures. Encyclopedic museums promote the understanding of culture as always fluid, ever changing, ever influenced by new and strange things—evidence of the overlapping diversity of mankind.
Thus, Cuno writes, at the Art Institute of Chicago we may discover an exquisite ivory box that was used as a Christian reliquary in thirteenth-century Sicily, yet features an Arabic inscription; it was made from an elephant's tusk likely found in southern Africa and brought to Sicily by "Muslim traders from the Swahili coast." Such a work may in turn remind us of pieces in neighboring rooms—a carved ivory tusk from the nineteenth-century court of Benin, perhaps; or a fourteenth-century German monstrance—another kind of reliquary—consisting of gilt silver around a translucent vessel, the holder for the relic, that "was originally a perfume bottle made in Fatimid—Muslim—Egypt."
But the book is less a discourse on the virtues of museums like Cuno's than a polemic against cultural property laws that he believes are increasingly standing in their way. As a legal concept, "cultural property" can include almost any form of artistic or intellectual work deemed of national value by particular nations, and Cuno worries that cultural property laws have given some states vast powers over world art. The Italian government, for example, may forbid an Italian citizen from taking a Matisse or even a Jackson Pollock out of the country; China recently requested the US State Department to ban the import of all Chinese art created before 1911. (In a compromise reached shortly before George W. Bush left office, the US agreed to a more limited ban on Chinese objects created before the end of the Tang Dynasty, in AD 907.)
But Cuno's primary concern is art and artifacts from the distant past. For Cuno, all the recent controversy about collecting "unprovenanced" antiquities—works that do not have a documented place and date of discovery and hence may likely have been looted—is a distraction. The more important question is whether collecting museums should be beholden to the national prerogatives of countries such as Italy, Turkey, and China, which invest the state with ownership of antiquities found within their borders, and forbid or severely limit their export.
Indeed, Cuno lays much of the responsibility for the accelerating destruction of archaeological sites to such nations. In the absence of legitimate ways to acquire antiquities, their categorical and unenforceable prohibitions have simply made the looting worse. And where they have succeeded in preserving sites and monuments, he maintains, their laws have just as often caused a "perversion" of cultural heritage for the purposes of national identity and parochial politics.
Thus, instead of encyclopedic museums dedicated to gathering and furthering knowledge about objects from many different parts of the world, most archaeological countries have "national" museums, whose mission, Cuno suggests, is to use artifacts found within their own modern boundaries to fill out a spurious national mythology: Etruscan pots (more often than not manufactured in Athens) are used to define Italianness; Sumerian sculptures to define Iraqiness, Hittite jewelry to define Turkishness, and so on. In many such cases, he argues, the modern populations have no historical connections with the ancient cultures whose objects are being collected.
As a result, we have arrived at a situation in which ancient heritage is "divided up and claimed by modern nation-states as theirs, the property of only some of the world's people, made by their alleged ancestors for them and deprived of its rich diversity of sources and evidence of cultural influences." From here, it is only a small further step to argue, as Cuno does, that cultural property laws may reinforce the worst tendencies of nationalism:
I do recognize that nationalistic feelings have bred beautiful music, poetry, and works of visual art…. But all too often they have also hardened into ideologies with roots in fear and hatred of the Other, often with racist affinities. They then become dangerous as rep- rehensible means of oppressing others, sources of vicious, even barbaric sectarian violence, persuading colossal numbers of people to lay down their own lives in an effort to kill others.
Museum leaders were deeply troubled by the looting in Iraq and some trustees held meetings about it. In the months before the invasion, however, efforts by the American Council for Cultural Property (ACCP), a group whose members included museum professionals, collectors, and scholars, to warn the US government of the risks to archaeological sites centered around the threat from military strikes rather than the possibility of large-scale civilian looting. For their part, some archaeologists accused the ACCP of appealing to the State Department to establish a liberal antiquities market in post-Saddam Iraq, presumably to allow for a new outflow of antiquities to the United States. See Lawrence Rothfield, The Rape of Mesopotamia: Behind the Looting of the Iraq Museum (University of Chicago Press, 2009), p. 43.↩
A process that began under Marion True herself. See my article "Treasure Hunt," The New Yorker, December 17, 2007.↩
The volume includes five essays based on contributions to "Museums and the Collecting of Antiquities: Past, Present, and Future," a conference organized by Cuno and Timothy Potts and held in New York in May 2006, together with four additional essays reprinted from other publications, among them K. Anthony Appiah's "Whose Culture Is It?," which first appeared in these pages, February 9, 2006.↩

The Santa Cruz Mountains AVA (American Viticultural Area) encompasses more than 850 square miles along the Penninsula between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean down to the Monterey Bay. Due to the size of the Santa Cruz Mountains wine region it is often useful for our visitors to plan their trip by winery hours of operation, sub-regions or by urban winery locations. The sub-region drop down feature allows you to plan for a fun-filled, educational wine experience here in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
La Nebbia WineryLa Nebbia Winery
A Coastal History
In 1934, winemaker John Gemello began producing big, hearty red wines from grapes grown locally in the coastal hills above Santa Clara Valley, California. He crafted them in the tradition of the fine red varietals of his native Italy. Patrons of his winery consumed his reds with great gusto, and so these robust wines were in great demand
In the late 1970′s, the winery founded by John Gemello some forty years earlier was relocated from Santa Clara Valley to Half Moon Bay, California. The winery,renamed Obester, continued to produce big, hearty red wines under the Gemello label and newer wines, Reisling, Sauvignon Blanc, Sangiovese, and sparkling, under the Obester Label. These handcrafted, award winning wines became the signature of Obester Winery.
The new millenium marked a renaissance at Obester Winery, the winery founded by John Gemello in the early 1930′s. A new vintner, Kendyl Kellogg, has returned the winery to it's roots producing complex, full-bodied red wines under a new label, Nebbia Signature.
La Rusticana VineyardsLa Rusticana Vineyards
La Rusticana d'Orsa is a unique estate of rare beauty tucked away in the Santa Cruz Mountains, an appellation dedicated to fine wine production since the 1880s. The life's work of Frank and Marilyn Dorsa, the vineyard is set atop terraced rolling hills delineated by rock walls and accented by roses, Italian Cypresses, sculpture gardens, lily ponds, and fountains. It is a spiritual microcosm of Old World charm and peace seemingly light-years away from the bustling Silicon Valley below.
Loma Prieta WineryLoma Prieta WineryContact: Amy Kemp
You may recognize the Loma Prieta name from the famous earthquake of 1989, but the Santa Cruz Mountains also play host to America's premier mountain vineyard area. Located at about 2,300 feet in these mountains, our winery offers spectacular views of Santa Cruz and Monterey. We also offer handcrafted wines produced in small lots and barrel aged in the finest oak. Enjoy!

How do you all like to start your shifts? - page 3

- 4Jan 17, '13 by MJB2010 GuideDepends who I am working after. If I am working after someone who left a mess, I spend the first hour or so answering call lights for pain meds, beeping ivs, and bathroom and checking off all the orders that got left behind. If I work after someone who has their stuff together, I start off by doing my assessments, then do my med pass. I feel like before you leave at the end of your shift, you should make a last round to make sure no one needs pain med or has an empty iv bag. Just common courtesy. But we all have crazy days or that busy shift where you get slammed and can't get to it. But there is a difference between leaving a mess once in a while and those who do it every single time. On my floor we do bedside report, so I have already had a look at everyone and said hello.Last edit by MJB2010 on Jan 17, '13
- 1Jan 17, '13 by SwansonRNI work both days and night shifts in the ICU. For days my ideal routine after report, peak in on my patients, check/caliper their strips, then look through their orders, meds, ins and outs that I didn't catch during report. Ideally I can actually see my first patient at 0800, do my assessment first thing, check that they have the right safety equipment, check the monitor alarms, weigh pt, zero a line, check cvp, temp, vitals blah blah. Hopefully I can have all of this documented, but by 0830 latest I leave to see my less acute patient, do the same thing. I rarely pass any meds before 9am unless it's super important. At nights it's about the same, but usually less hectic and I make a "shopping list" and "shop" for each patient. We do our baths and change lines/cannisters/supplies at night which is just tasky and time consuming so I find that if I bring everything in the room at the beginning of the shift its easiest.
- 0Jan 17, '13 by kmarie724I work day shift. My first priority after getting report is to get blood sugars and insulins done as well as any tx or assessments that are that are best done before people get out of bed for the day (I work in LTC and have a mix of long term and short-term rehab pts). Once everyone is to breakfast, I take some time at the desk to look at everyone's chart and make my plan for the rest of the day.
- 0Jan 17, '13 by tripsisI work ICU days with shift starting at 0630. Get bedside report and take that time to do a visual assessment, ABCs and safety check as well as turn my patient while I have the extra set of hands. We look at labs and go over the previous shifts orders and do a delirium assessment. After report I head to toe assess my most critical patient, check CVP, dressings, oral care, and talk to RT about the POC. Same thing with patient #2. IDEALLY I have both assessments charted by 0800. Then I go back and do meds, accu checks and pass trays if my patients are eating. Typically, docs round from 8-10 so if I have my assessments done and charted early, I can round and be completely in touch with what's going on with my patients.
- 2Jan 17, '13 by BSNbeDONE, BSN, RNQuote from j_tay1981As a float nurse, the nurse managers seem to think I like starting my shift with an admission every night and for some reason, they feel the same way about my ending the shift. Go figure......I'm trying to get into a fairly efficient groove while starting my shifts. My shifts start at 1900, but the majority of my patients don't have meds due until 2100. At or institution, we can give meds one hour before and after the time they are due.As a float nurse, the nurse managers seem to believe that I like to start my shift every night with an admission and they seem to believe that I love ending my shift the same way. Go figure....My first assessment is done around 2000.I'm trying to be as efficient as I can. I was waiting until 2000, (an hour into my shift) to do both meds and initial assessments for each patient. That way, I could wrap PRN pain meds they may need into their scheduled meds when I ask about pain during assessment. Sort of a 'one stop shop' method, I suppose. The problem here is that this seems to take awhile.Some nurses, upon arrival to the floor, see each patient briefly and ask if they need anything OR do their assessment then and return around 2100 to give meds. To me, this seems like it would be slower since patients would likely ask for pain meds (or any other PRN) at this time, thus creating a situation where the RN would need to return to give scheduled meds.I know it is about the patient and not about me, but I'm just trying to build a certain amount of efficiency into my shift.How do you all like to begin your shifts?
- 1Jan 17, '13 by BSNbeDONE, BSN, RNAbsolutely!
- 0Jan 17, '13 by PediLove2147I work both days and nights but mostly days. I get in at 0700 and get report, we have something called "safety huddle" so I usually don't get in to see my patients until 0800. I do meds and assessments at the same time. I do all my charting after unless I have an early discharge. I've the chart as you go and I found myself getting too behind. It definitely works for some though.
- 0Jan 18, '13 by NutmeggeRNIN LTC I round on my pts right after report and narcotic count. I want to know they were all breathing when I took over the shift. Then I review the MAR for the shift highlighting any unusual times for meds or any treatments/dressing changes. I give report to the LNA's on my side (of which there are never enough) and what my expectations are. And then all bets are off! I try to have things wrapped up at the beginning of the last hour so I can make an easy transition for the next shift. Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much!
- 0Jan 18, '13 by mclennanI'm a case management nurse. I work 9-5, M-F and I'm salaried so don't punch a clock. I roll in around 9am. Get settled at my desk. Turn on the radio. Make a pot of tea. Boot up computer and open email. Check for urgent referrals first, take care of those then start my task list I set up the night before.

What are the traditional and alternative treatments for urinary tract infections?
- Q: How are urinary tract infections treated? Alternative or traditional approach.
- A: Common symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI) include: a burning sensation when you urinate; the need to urinate more often; an urge to go to the bathroom, but nothing comes out; and a constant ache in your lower abdomen. Additionally, your urine might change, becoming smelly, dark, cloudy, or even bloody. UTIs that are caught early are easily treated. Your doctor likely will start with a urine screening to check for bacteria or blood cells in your urine. UTIs are normally treated with a round of antibiotics lasting one to two weeks. If the infection persists after antibiotic treatment, or if UTIs recur, additional tests may be needed. To help ease the pain associated with urinating with a UTI, your doctor may prescribe a urinary tract pain medicine called Pyridium (phenazopyridine). Cranberry juice may also help the symptoms of a UTI. Contact your health care provider for proper evaluation and treatment of a UTI.

"This new series tells the true story of a decades-long conflict between the Los Angeles Police Department, under the determined leadership of Police Chief William Parker, and ruthless criminal elements led by Mickey Cohen, a one-time boxer who rose to the top of L.A.'s criminal world."
The series is based on the critically acclaimed book L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America's
The fact that Frank Darabont is at the helm is what makes the mini-series worthy of consideration. Since "
Frank Darabont not only has "The Walking Dead" on his resume, he also directed "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile." Both of these films relied on an authentic period look, and both films were so true to their respective periods that calling Darabont a period piece expert is not a stretch.
The prison in "Shawshank Redemption" and death row in "The Green Mile" gave the audience realistic settings to get comfortable in while watching the story unfold. If Darabont does the same with "
If Darabont, Bernthal and DeMunn are not enough to tempt you, maybe Edward Burns playing Bugsy Siegel will tip the scales in the film's favor.

Media Direct and the old "hal.dll missing or corrupt" problem
It happened to me yesterday when i accidentally hit the Media Direct buttion when the laptop was turned OFF
I escaped from MD and turned the lap on as usual, then the error message "window root\system32\hal.dll missing or corrupt" appeared and windows cannot start
I tried almost every solutions i can find, none of them work.
Is there anyone faced the same thing and can help me out? do i need to install everything?
(the strange thing is that when i used Recovery Console and bootcfg /rebuild command, the prompt command indicates windows installation at F:\minint. Whether there is smthing wrong with the partition table?)
(My lappy: E1505, Core Duo T7200 2.0 GHz, 2Gb Ram,....)
Many thanks

Re: Media Direct and the old "hal.dll missing or corrupt" problem
You working with XP?
Looks to me that your boot.ini is gone. Can you check if the file is still there? (file is hidden)
If not create a boot.ini and place it in your root of c:\
The text below is taken from my pc which has XP installed on partition 1 c:\

Re: Media Direct and the old "hal.dll missing or corrupt" problem
It actually appears your drive is setup how mine was on my last laptop. Try pressing the Media Direct button again. What I figured out was that my drive has a "layered" partition setup. It switches tables when you go to Media Direct. If you exit improperly then it might not properly restore the table to what it should be.

Re: Media Direct and the old "hal.dll missing or corrupt" problem
Thanks guys!
Yes I was working with XP, the thing is it does not allow me to start Windows in any mode, so how can I edit the boot.ini and put it back to C:\ ????
I am not capable of DOS at all
I tried to push the Media Direct button again, the Media Direct screen appeared and then again the error message about the missing hal.dll popped up

Re: Media Direct and the old "hal.dll missing or corrupt" problem
Create boot.ini file (new txt file via notepad, save as boot.ini) with the data I placed in my first reply.
1) Using a floppy disk:
Put boot.ini on floppy, boot from floppy
2) Using boot CD:
Create Bootable CD, see http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#cdromsi
Make sure to put the boot.ini on the cd before burning the bootable cd

Re: Media Direct and the old "hal.dll missing or corrupt" problem
"Total Identified Windows Installs: XX"
I do have my suspicions about the current configuration of your Partition Table, but you'd need to get at it via DOS to confirm. Would entail either a bootable CD [as mentioned] or a bootable thumbdrive.
wrt A reinstall of Windows.... Yes that should get things back, but would open up another can of worms wrt MediaDirect operation. Have you added/removed any partitions since you got the laptop???
Sorry to not be much help at this point...

Murphy, Andrew James (2009) Pincer femoroacetabular impingement and retroversion: a 3D study. Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 93-B (S-III). p. 390.Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)
Official URL: http://proceedings.jbjs.org.uk/content/93-B/SUPP_I...
Pincer femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is cited as being the result of a socket that is either too deep or retroverted, or both. Using 3D-CT analysis, we set out to quantify the acetabular rim shape and orientation to determine the roles of these two factors in FAI. Twenty pincer acetabulae were selected from patients undergoing image based navigated surgery, where the lateral centre edge angle was greater than 40° on plain radiographs. The normal group of disease free sockets were obtained from a CT colonography database.

Libya: Russia Backs U.N., AU Efforts - FM
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said May 17 that he had met with Libyan officials in Moscow, RIA Novosti reported. He said Moscow is not mediating between Tripoli and the opposition. Rather, he said his country is supporting efforts by the United Nations and the African Union (AU). He said Russia was told Tripoli will consider the AU's roadmap and would "comply with the provisions of Resolution 1973" should the opposition take similar steps and NATO strikes end.

BOX 5.1 A Brief History of Medicaid Legislation Concerning Children
The Social Security Act of 1965, Title XIX, authorizes Medicaid, a federal-state matching entitlement program, to provide medical assistance for low-income families with dependent children and low-income aged, blind, or disabled individuals.
Congress creates the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) Program to ensure that all Medicaid-eligible children under age 21 receive appropriate comprehensive, periodic health assessments and follow-up treatments for detected illnesses.
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1981 removes limits on the number of state waivers granted under Medicaid.
OBRA of 1986 gives states the option of covering pregnant women and children with incomes up to the federal poverty level, regardless of the state's Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) eligibility guidelines. Thus, Medicaid is delinked from AFDC, and more pregnant women and children become eligible for Medicaid, particularly in southern and western states.
OBRA of 1987 gives states the option of covering children through age 7 who live in families with incomes below 100 percent of the federal poverty level.
The Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988 mandates a phased-in Medicaid eligibility for pregnant women and infants in families with incomes below 100 percent of the federal poverty level.
OBRA of 1989 mandates Medicaid eligibility for all pregnant women and children ages 0 to 5, in families with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level.
The law requires that states provide any medically necessary treatment called for through an EPSDT program screening, whether or not that treatment service is included in the state's Medicaid plan. Most governors are opposed to this new provision because of its budgetary implications.
The EPSDT program is strengthened: states must establish separate schedules for health, vision, and dental screenings, and states are required to increase participation in screening and diagnosis to 80 percent for children enrolled in the Medicaid program.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Some protests near the site of the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, have turned violent.
Police say protesters smashed windows, punctured car tires and threw bottles during an anti-war march. Police used pepper spray in some confrontations with demonstrators and arrested five. They're accused of setting fire to a trash bin and pushing it into a police car.
Police estimate there were 8,000 to 10,000 protesters.
Instead of the single coherent march that organizers had hoped for, fringe groups raised havoc along the streets between the state Capitol and the Xcel Energy Center where the convention is taking place.
The arrests occurred several blocks from the arena.
Some marchers smashed windows of cars and stores, tipped over newspaper boxes, pulled a trash bin into the street, bent the rear view mirrors on a bus and flipped heavy stone garbage bins on the sidewalks.
They were followed by teams of riot officers carrying batons, rifles and guns that could be used to shoot tear gas.

C.J. Spiller Looking To Improve
Bills RB CJ Spiller had a dud game in Week One. He's looking for more in Week Two.
|Spiller to start over Jackson Sunday
Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey announced Wednesday that C.J. Spiller will start Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.
This season C.J. Spiller has split playing time with Fred Jackson, who returned to practice this week.
"C.J. will start, but we're still going to play Fred," said Gailey. "It takes two. It does. So Fred will get quite a few snaps, but C.J. will start and get the majority of the snaps."
The former Clemson All-American has had three starts this season, but all have come with Jackson out of the lineup.
Spiller leads the team with 723 yards rushing and averages almost seven yards per carry.
"I'm just going continue to go out there and do what I've been doing," Spiller said. "It's not like we're not going to use 22 (Jackson). We're going to use him, he's a playmaker on our team, he's a leader on our team. I'm just going to go out there when my number's called and try to help my team win. Nothing's going to really change the way that I've been preparing now that I'll be starting on Sunday."

"Quick and Easy"
Mine LOVED it. I have two Nigerian Bucklings and the snarfed it down faster than their regular feed. I did have to separate them so they wouldn't butt each other around...letting one eat more than the other. But no big deal. Much easier to use than the oral syringe type. although I still use that occasionally to mix it up some.
" Pet Nubian"
Perfect for me with only one pet goat. I just weigh the recommended amount, give it in place of her regular feed, and she loves it. Wish they had one for horses and a potbelly! So easy!
"some won't eat it"
I tried giving my herd of Nigerians this instead of their usual goat chow and 6 out of 10 goats wouldn't eat it. Next I tried mixing it with their usual ration and they picked out the goat chow and left the wormer. I finally mixed molasses in it and hunger eventually won out. It seemed like a simple way to worm goats, but I guess mine are just picky. I won't buy it again.
"Perfect choice for my Pygmy's"
So simple and the goats LOVE it! I don't mix with regular pellet and also don't separate my herd. They ration it themselves just as they do their normal pellet. We've not had problems with worm infestation since we started using this product/method. We also rotate pasture so that may help reduce our chance of infestation.
"I like this one!"
This is the wormer I give my goats - they just get the wormer pellets in place of their regular food, and they love it! I don't have any problem at all with them eating it and it's a lot easier then chasing them down to give something to them orally!
"Not the best option"
Ok, so this product MAY work well if you can administer under very specific conditions. However, you must be able to separate your animals at feeding and ration each the correct dose and then they must eat it. What I found is that if you mix it with their pellets, they'll eat their pellets and leave the de-wormer. So you'd have to give them the dewormer by itself which is not ideal either. For me the money is best spent on another method of parasite prevention and treatment (I have goats)

MUNICH -- Germany should thoroughly debate whether it can afford an outright ban on the production of shale gas, the chief executive officer of the country' s largest oil and gas producer said Wednesday.
"The production of shale gas could be a great opportunity for Germany," said Rainer Seele, CEO of Wintershall, a unit of BASF SE.
However, shale gas production is controversial in Germany as it requires the application of hydraulic fracturing, a technology also known as fracking that is used to extract unconventional natural gas deposits that cannot be released by simply drilling a well. Fracking involves pumping huge volumes of water and chemicals underground to fracture rock formations and release the trapped gas deposits.
Mr. Seele conceded that shale gas production in Germany is unlikely to turn the domestic energy market upside down, contrasting developments in the past few years in the U.S., where shale gas production triggered a massive slide in gas prices and is set to make the country the world' s largest gas producer.
However, shale gas production could help keep indigenous gas production at present levels for at least another 100 years, he said.
Germany is in the midst of phasing out all nuclear power generation through 2022 and intends to replace most of its fossil-fueled power plants with "green" energy such as wind and solar power. Gas, which emits less carbon dioxide than coal, is widely considered as an acceptable backup for intermittent renewable energies.
Germany' s state-owned Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources said last year the country has significant shale gas reserves that--if produced--could theoretically meet the country' s gas consumption for the next 10 years and help it to considerably reduce reliance on energy imports.
Mr. Seele also criticized the fierce rejection of the fracking technology by vast parts of the German population for fear of environmental harm.
"Many people don' t know that around one third of indigenous production of conventional gas can only be produced through application of hydraulic fracturing," he said.
Mr. Seele added that a large portion of that is known as tight gas, a form of natural gas trapped in extremely dense rock formations. In contrast to shale gas, tight gas carrying rock formations are generally located much deeper underground and are therefore not in close proximity to ground water reservoirs.
Mr. Seele said that the controversy surrounding the issue of shale gas and fracking has effectively resulted in an outright ban of the technology for fear of public outcry on environmental grounds.
He added that authorities in Germany haven' t approved any fracking requests since the middle of 2011, which has accelerated the decline in indigenous gas production, which is already on the decline as wells are gradually depleting.
Last year, domestic gas production declined to 12% of overall consumption, in part due to the ban on fracking, Mr. Seele said.
Germany' s gas and oil industry association WEG last month said that indigenous gas production declined by a further 10% in the first half of 2013 compared with the same period a year earlier. The lobby group also attributed the fall to failure by authorities to approve fracking activities.

Mathematics departments hosts Sonia Kovalevsky High School Day
The NDSU mathematics department hosted the 15th annual Sonia Kovalevsky High School Day Sept. 24. High school teachers from throughout North Dakota and western Minnesota were invited to bring their female students to Fargo to meet NDSU mathematics faculty, professional women from the Fargo area who use math in their careers and other high school students who are interested in math. The day was divided into morning and afternoon sessions with mathematics activities for the young women.
James Coykendall, NDSU mathematics professor, presented the first workshop of the day, "Mathematics of the Rubik's Cube." He demonstrated solution strategies for the Rubik's Cube and explained the mathematics behind it. Each student received a Rubik's Cube as part of the workshop.
In the second workshop, NDSU graduate student Elizabeth Sattler gave examples of fractals and how they can be created from simple shapes.
A career roundtable rounded off the morning session. Students got to speak with Maria Alfonseca-Cubero, NDSU mathematics department; Marvita Busching, Microsoft; Brenda Derrig, City of Fargo; and Elizabeth Mossberg, National Security Agency.
Mossberg then delivered the keynote address where she described the role of barcodes and gave a brief introduction to codes used for compression and error-correction.
In the afternoon session, graduate student Aaron Feickert discussed winning strategies of some simple games such as tic-tac-toe and rock-paper-scissors in the workshop "Mathematical Games."
William Martin brought the day to a close with his game of "Math Jeopardy."
Participants came from several high schools from North Dakota and Minnesota, some traveling almost 300 miles. A total of 47 female students participated; up from 27 students last year. Alfonseca-Cubero and Dogan Comez, both from the NDSU mathematics department, and William Martin from the School of Education organized the event.
The 2011 Sonia Kovalevsky Day was supported by a grant from the Association for Women in Mathematics, National Security Agency (Department of Defense), Elizabeth City State University, NDSU Office of the Provost, NDSU FORWARD, College of Science and Mathematics, College of Engineering and Architecture and Department of Mathematics.
