A lot of noise over changes in city's sound ordinance

Paul VanDemark, general manager at Fitzgeralds, a live music venue in the Heights, said he has been proactive to make changes to the venue, like adding two doors to an exit and closing off windows with a noise absorbing drywall and gel, to prevent noise pollution in the neighborhood even before the new noise ordinance was in effect Thursday, May 24, 2012, in Houston. The venue has received several citations for noise in the past year. Houston new noise ordinance has seen club owners, djs and music promoters jailed for excessive noise, and they complain the new law is unfair. The ordinance allows Houston police to make a judgment call on whether a noise coming from a music venue is excessive, without requiring a reading from a meter. "We deal with many of our neighbors directly," VanDemark said. "It's hard to say that the noise is from us or because there are more people in the area with all of the new bars on the street."
Houston's bustling cityscape comes with the usual cacophony of roaring traffic, blaring construction and the beat of booming car stereos. And there are the legions of barking dogs.
Depending on your persuasion, the urban soundtrack can be comforting or something to wage war on.
The latest participants in the never-ending noise battle are local nightclub owners who feel they have been unfairly targeted after the Houston City Council updated the noise ordinance in October. They have been issued hundreds of citations and have seen club workers arrested.
The noise ordinance sets limits for sound, which are measured by a decibel meter. The revised law now allows a police officer to issue a violation if bass notes coming from a property cause "vibrations or resonance" to be felt at another property. Previously, officers in these situations could not subjectively flag violators - they had to use a decibel meter. Violators can receive up to a $1,000 fine.
Club owners have met with city officials and spent thousands of dollars making sound-deadening improvements, but say they are still getting ticketed. To change what they feel is an unjust ordinance, they're raising money through a political action committee to lobby Mayor Annise Parker's administration.
"We're essentially trying to set performance standards for music venues, bars and clubs, and there's nothing we have to work with. Right now, compliance is based upon an officer's subjective opinion instead of having an objective performance standard," said Joshua Sanders, policy director for Hall Attorneys which represents the Greater Houston Entertainment Political Action Committee.
'Honeymoon period'
Neighborhood groups are not happy either, but they insist noise enforcement has broken down.
"What we found was there was kind of a honeymoon period after the amendment got passed, and a task force was formed to enforce the noise ordinance," said Jane Cahill-West, president of the Super Neighborhood 22, a coalition of civic groups along the Washington Avenue corridor. "And now it's only rarely being enforced. The worst thing is even when citations are being written, they are not being successfully prosecuted in municipal court."
Houston police officials said they do not know how many club employees have been arrested and don't maintain statistics on the number of violations issued or their disposition. They referred those questions to the city's Municipal Court, but a May 17 open records request by the Houston Chronicle for enforcement statistics has not been completed.
Sgt. Mike Hill, who is training HPD officers on the new sound ordinance, said anecdotal information shows bars on the Washington Avenue corridor near downtown have been ticketed the most frequently. Hill said so far only one case has been heard in Municipal Court, and though he did not know who was involved, the club was fined $50.
"We've had some citizens asking why we weren't issuing a ticket the first time we came out," said Hill, who explained HPD officers have been instructed to first issue a warning and try to educate residents, as well as club owners, about the ordinance.
Review overdue
Cahill-West said Parker's administration failed to provide a comprehensive review of the revised ordinance promised after the first six months of enforcement. Council member Ed Gonzalez acknowledged that review is overdue, adding it will likely take place in July following city budget hearings.
Citizen reaction to the noise ordinance has been "mixed," Gonzalez said, adding the main complaint concerns the "subjective nature" used by police to determine when sounds violate the law.
Gonzalez suggested a possible change in the ordinance to require that lower frequency noises, such as vibrations from bass musical equipment, be measured by instrumentation.
Subdued Mother's Day
A Mother's Day performance was halted earlier this month at a popular bar and grill on Washington Avenue called Hughes Hangar, when Houston police arrived and arrested three club employees including disc jockey Albert Rowen. The trio said they were arrested for violating the noise ordinance. Police would not say why they were detained, though other club workers in the city have been arrested for interfering with an investigation.
"We've been getting tickets basically every week, and we've really been trying do the right thing," said Rowen, also known as DJ Bizz. "We started out with six speakers, and now we're down to two. We have installed sound curtains."
Katherine Wyeth, the club's 29-year-old general manager, said she was simply representing the club and denies getting into an altercation with officers.
"I've never been in trouble, ever," said Wyeth, who spent Mother's Day night in jail. "I'm just trying to manage a bar and restaurant and be a mom at the same time. I'm just trying to support a family."
Saleem Fernandez, 30, is the owner of four Houston clubs and bars along Washington Avenue and in the Midtown area. He said he's personally received three tickets, and his clubs have received 15.
"The ordinance is flawed in the way it's written. It's pro-resident, pro-police, but it's not pro-business," Fernandez said. "In a town that has no zoning, we come to lots of forks in the road where there are residents next to entertainment venues."
Fitzgerald's, a landmark music venue in the Heights, has boarded over patio doors, installed double exit doors to limit sound and packed walls with sound-proofing materials. "Even with all the things we've done," explained Paul VanDemark, the club's general manager, "we still experience complaints from the community saying our venue is too noisy."

Workout Feedback
I've recently joined the forum and, aside from my introductory post, have been lurking around, doing as much reading as I can---trying to get my questions answered by previous posts like a good member. It's been worth my time, and I've gotten a lot of good information. Thanks to all who regularly post, and share their knowledge.
I'm writing because I'd love to get some feedback on my workout plan, such as: Is this sane? and Is there anything I missed, or got messed up?
As my intro post stated, I'm new to bodybuilding. I started out at 135, and I'm up a touch past 160. Though I started working out regularly about two years ago, I've only been working out seriously with weights for about six months. After long bouts of trying to figure out precisely what I should be doing (full body, upper-lower splits, one body part per week, &c.)---from reading books, talking to trainers, and reading online---I've basically come to the
conclusion that there are many ways to achieve progressive overload, and the best thing for me to do is go a little mad scientist on myself, and experiment to find out what works best for *me*. Hence the proposed program.
I've decided to take the next 18 weeks (a bit of an arbitrary number, but it's based on what I've read about reasonable durations for full body workouts), and try out three different training protocols: Full body, split, and body part---to see which one gives me the most gains. I haven't plateaued on my progressive increases for most of my exercises yet, so I'm guessing I'm not at an intermediate level (this is my guess from what I've read as to when someone moves from being a beginner to an intermediate). I'm starting with full body workouts, Rippetoe style. Given this, I'm scheduling three workouts per week. Here's how it breaks down:
Lighter workout on Monday
Heavier on Wednesday
Balls to the wall on Friday
Rest. Recover. Recuperate. Repeat.
After 6 weeks of measuring my progress on that (weekly), I'll switch to four upper-lower splits per week. Mon-Tue and Thur-Fri, with rest in between.
Finally, I plan to do 6 weeks of body part training using a plan from a trainer at my gym (I have a bet with the trainer, who swears that this is the *only* way to get massive gains, that the full body method will give me better gains than his body part plan).
At the end of this, I hope to have a coherent plan for what is the best method for me to focus on training for a while, so I can relax my brain, work my body, and start gaining.
Given that I'm at 160, and moderately exercising (whatever that means), my maintenance calories are 2150 (according to the calculator I found online). Given that my maintenance cals are 2150 kc/d, I'm consuming 2700 kc/d (an increase of 550 kc/d). I'm doing 350 g CHO/d (mostly whole grain), and a little bit lower than the standard 1g/lb protein. Given what I've read about calcium depletion and long-term kidney concerns, I'm doing about 130 g/d of protein - 1.8 g/kg/d; and I'm doing all the magic protein and glucose window stuff, as well as resting like a lazy fool, and sleeping like a college student in between bouts of intense exercise. I'm on two supplements only: Whey, and creatine (monohydrate)---I cycle the creatine. I take my whey with goat's milk (can't do cow's for some reason, but whey doesn't bother me) at night. I tried cottage cheese, and couldn't stomach it, and I couldn't find a casein sup without sucralose.
That's the plan. Any feedback you can give me would be awesome.

38 year old woman | Randolph, MA, USA | Seeking men 37-50 within 50 miles
Sincere, sweet, and loyal woman in search of an honest, dedicated, and soul-stimulating gentleman
Hi there, Thanks for stopping by. There's just so much to say--the difficulty is finding a way to talk about myself and my desires without sounding "full of myself." Okay...here goes. I am a hard working, caring, and compassionate woman who is interested in meeting a grounded, sweet, gentleman to share some quality time with. Although I do enjoy dining out, travel, museums, comedy shows. and much more, I am also that type of person who can equally appreciate curling up under a blanket in front of a good movie or with a good book. My interests range from volunteering on certain political campaigns to working out in Zumba classes to picnics on the beach to whatever my heart desires at that time (as I do have a really spontaneous and playful side). When it comes to relationships, i tend to find creative ways to keep my partner's attention (more details to be shared later if we truly do make a "match":). I believe that it is important to keep a balanced life and not deprive oneself from enjoying the finer things in life, which could simply be a stroll ithrough the park. And although I do not have biological children of my own, I am proud to say that I have been able to care for my 2 nephews (now ages 16 and 18) since they were 6 and 8 years old. I have also been raising their sister/my 8 yr old niece for the past 6 years. Thankfully, these kids are good souls and I love them dearly as if they were my very own offspring. They keep me on my toes:), and they sometimes test my time-management skills every now and then (I wonder how I am able to pass such tests!:). But I must say that this experience overall has provided me with a certain depth of strength and character which I do not think I could have received in any other way! And for that reason, I feel truly blessed to have this kind of heart which loves easily and seflessly. You have probably guessed already that I am a very loyal, family-oriented, and caring person. And if so, you definitely guessed right! But while I am very giving to my family, I am now ready to find a partner whom I can share quality and romantic moments with--life is too short not to be ready to do this! And just what kind of man am I searching for? My ideal partner would be loyal, honest, compassionate, and family-oriented. And while he would be hard working and ambitious too, he would always do his best to make time for keeping alive the flame between us. I wish for a man who is comfortable in his own skin (but not arrogant), and has an open mind in general. And this may sound really cliched, but i honestly believe that it is very important to address issues right up front and to not be shy about expressing ideas, opinions, or feelings with your significant other. I am that type of woman who cares what my partner thinks...what moves him...and on the flip side, what does not move him. In other words, I want to find a person who will connect with me on not just a physical level, but also an emotional and spiritual one. Is that person you?:) And even if you and I do not make a "match", please know that I sincerely wish you the best as you continue on with your search for love, happiness, and everything else under the sun! P.S. I will soon post more pics of myself--stay tuned!:)

Bralorne Gold Mines Tops Up Till for Aggressive Expansion Program
With its sights set on more than doubling its resource base and gold production over the next few years, Bralorne Gold Mines (TSXV:BPM,OTCQX:BPMSF,FSE:GV7) is in the process of raising up to $7.5 million in a convertible debenture financing.
From 1928 to 1971, the Bralorne, Pioneer and King mines produced 4.15 million ounces of gold generated from two 500 ton per day mills. At today's gold prices this production would be worth more than US$7 billion.
Production was halted in 1971 due to low gold prices but at that time the mines were never fully exploited or explored. In 2002 the three mines and the surrounding exploration area were consolidated into one company: Bralorne Pioneer Gold Mines. After changing names to Bralorne Gold Mines and rolling back shares 10-for-1 in 2004 the renewed corporation focused its efforts on putting the mine back into production. In April 2011, the company restarted test mining operations at the Bralorne complex and poured its first gold-silver doré bar in May of that year.
Current resources outlined at the mine weigh in at 154,750 tonnes averaging 9.11 g/t gold in the measured and indicated categories and 246,835 tonnes averaging 8.78 g/t gold in the inferred category. According to the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) written by Beacon Hill Consultants and released late last year, that's enough for about a six year mine life operating at 85 tpd (for the measured and indicated portion of the resource). If all of the inferred resources currently defined are upgraded then the mine life could be extended to 14 years.
Over the first full year of production (2012), the company milled about 27,546 tonnes at an average feed grade of 8.1 g/t gold. The total estimated gold production was 6,246 ounces, including 3,676 ounces from gravity concentration and 2,570 ounces of gold in 511 tonnes of flotation concentrate. The mill availability was 74% and the average throughput was 101.6 tonnes per day for the time operated.
Last year the company's main objective was pre-production development of the BK-3 zone to define mineralized shoots and prepare for extraction. This was successful and test mining commenced on the BK3 zone in January 2013.
The 2012 PEA recommended that Bralorne Gold Mines spend $18.9 million to further develop the mine and define additional resources in order to warrant expanding the operation to 250 tons per day.
With this expansion program in mind Bralorne intends to raise a minimum of $5 million and up to a maximum of $7.5 million. This principal amount will mature 24 months from the Closing Date and accrue interest at 12.5% per year payable at the Maturity Date. The principal can be converted into Units at a rate of one Unit for every $0.975 of principal converted. Each unit consists of one share and half a warrant. One full warrant can be exercised at $1.35 to receive one share, provided it's exercised within 30 months from the closing date. (Additional details of the financing can be found in the press release below).
This financing allows the Company to get started on its plans to increase production. Bralorne intends to spend the money delineating additional resources particularly in the area below the 800 level to the 1000 Level. The plan incorporates a number of activities including:
- The installation of a treatment facility to treat arsenic in water from underground openings;
- A pumping system to dewater the workings from 800L to 1000L;
- A ramp to the 1000L;
- Rehabilitation of a shaft;
- Rehabilitation of drifts and raises;
- An extensive exploration program from both surface and underground;
- Drifting and raising to outline resources.
Bottom Line
Bralorne Gold Mines has worked diligently over the past few years to put its namesake mine back into production. According to the most recent PEA the average estimated life-of-mine cash costs per oz is about US$1000/oz gold which makes the project sensitive to fluctuations in gold price.
In order to increase production and improve the overall economics of the mine the company is still working to prove up resources as well as expand and rehabilitate mine workings. Towards this end, Bralorne Gold Mines has re-invested production revenue back into the mine and this additional $5 to $7.5 million cash infusion will go a long way towards achieving its expansion plans.
Bralorne Gold Mines Announces Private Placement
Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV:BPM,OTCQX:BPMSF,FWB:GV7) announced a private placement of secured convertible debentures for a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and up to a maximum amount of $7,500,000.

Happy 2nd Birthday Gary
Another whole year has passed, and it went very fast! My precious boy has turned the big TWO years old! We had a party and he had a lot of fun! Let's check it out!
The decorations were up when we arrived! Gary LOVES balloons! Here you see that we had the Most Awesome Party Hat Ever, but...we forgot to put it on him! (:
Gary got to choose the foodz, of course! He chose hotdogs and Spaghetti'Os! A very toddler friendly dinner! It just so happen that I agree with Gary and find both hotdgos S'Os to be YUMMY!!! I had seconds!
Here is the birthday boy enjoying his chosen nomz! We took his shirt off because Spaghetti'Os are very messy! It is easier to wash them off his chest than off his shirt! (:
Before we knew it, it was time for presents! Usually we do dinner, cake, presents! This time, to let our dinner sit a minute, we went the other way! Mama wanted to help him open them, although his siblings were quick to volunteer!
I got him a Teletubby dvd so that he can watch them in the car! He just loves them! (: Plus I always buy the kids candy for their birthdays! I got Gary a bag of Smarties and a Push Pop! Even though everything was in a gift bag, I wrapped the dvd in Christmas paper (that is all that I have) so he got to open something too!
His family got him a Flashlight Friend that is a cute plushy penquin! A Flashlight Friend is a stuffed animal with a flashlight in it's tummy! Kids can take it to bed with them, so they won't be scared of the dark! The light stays on for 10 minutes and then it goes off all on it's own! They also got him a magnetic drawing board! They had an old one that he just loved, but it just stopped working and we had to throw it away! He was thrilled to have a new one! Now for his BIG present from his parents:
It is a Little Tikes basketball hoop! Gary loved to be held up to "shoot" into the little nerf hoop that they have on their loft! Now he doesn't have to be lifted up! He can do it all by himself! (:
Grace and Trevor got it all put together for him! He kept saying, "I shoot! I shoot!"
Here he is shooting and his Flashlight Friend is laying on the floor! He eventually used that to shoot too!
Finally it time for cake! I forgot to mention above that he looked adorable in his Winnie The Pooh shirt! It matched his cake!
He was so excited to get the candles lit! When we sang Happy Birthday to him, he just beamed! Andy had to hold him back from blowing out the candles too soon! It was so cute!
Finally. it was time to make a wish and blow out his candles! This is my favorite shot of the night!
I hope you have enjoyed another photo blog of my family and our life events! This precious little boy means the absolute world to me, and I feel very privileged to be his auntie! I feel even more privileged to be the one who takes care of him!
HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY LITTLE MAN!!!

Bubba Jenkins won his semifinal and will battle for a national title on Saturday night
 *

March 18, 2011

Updated: Brackets (pdf) | Team Scores (pdf)

PHILADELPHIA - When the dust settled on the second day of action inside the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pa., at the 2011 NCAA Wrestling Championships, two members of the Arizona State University wrestling team had won semifinal matches and a place in the finals and were joined by one other teammate as All-Americans by assuring themselves a finish in the Top 8 overall. Both No. 1 Anthony Robles (125) and No. 4 Bubba Jenkins (157) reached the finals of their weight classes while heavyweight and unseeded Levi Cooper continued to battle and won his consolation match in the Round of 12 to assure his placement in the Top 8.

In the team standings, Penn State reclaimed the lead through the second day and has built a comfortable lead with 92.5 points, followed by Cornell (75.0), Iowa (74.0), Oklahoma State (65.5) and American (56.0) in the Top 5. ASU is seventh with 52.5 points and has three individuals that can score points on the final day. Overall, ASU's two finalists makes them one of four schools with multiple finalists, including PSU (three), OSU (two) and Lehigh (two).

Robles' first trip to the national finals was earned with his 4-2 decision over unseeded Ben Kjar (Utah Valley), keeping Robles undefeated on the season and in position to become an undefeated NCAA champion. The match opened with both wrestlers feeling each other out and ended where it started as neither scored a point. In the second, Kjar had the choice and selected down. While Robles was on top the entire period, he was unable to score near-fall points, keeping the match tied at 0-0, but with Robles holding two minutes of riding time.

In the third, Robles took his turn on the bottom and escaped early in the period to take a 1-0 lead. Shortly after, he shot in, secured Kjar's legs and scored the takedown to extend his lead to 3-0. Kjar would escape to make it 3-1 and then made it 3-2 at the end of the match as Robles was hit with a second stall warning, but Robles earned another point on riding time and took the match 4-2, giving ASU a finalist for the first time since current assistant coach Brian Stith reach the 157-pound final in 2006.

Jenkins, much like the rest of the tournament, followed suit as he joined Robles in the finals by winning his semifinal match at 157 with an 8-5 decision over No. 8 Jason Welch (Northwestern). Welch took an early lead with a takedown before Jenkins escaped to make it 2-1 heading into the second, where Jenkins had the choice and took down. After Jenkins' escape was the only scoring of the period to tie the match, Welch escaped bottom to take a 3-2 lead. From there, however, Jenkins scored on a trio of takedowns to take the match and earn his second trip to the finals.

In 2009, Jenkins, then wrestling at 149 for Penn State, advanced to the final where he dropped a match to No. 1 Brent Metcalf (Iowa) to place second overall. This time, he will meet another familiar wrestler as he takes on his former teammate, second-ranked David Taylor (Penn State).

With their results in the semifinals, Robles and Jenkins gave the Sun Devil program multiple finalists in the same NCAA Championships since 1993 when three ASU athletes advanced. That year, both Markus Mollica (158) and Ray Miller (167) captured titles while current head coach Shawn Charles was the runner-up at 126. Prior to this season, the last time the Sun Devils had a finalist came in 2006 when current assistant coach Brian Stith finished second at 157.

With the excitement of two finalists and a pair of All-America honors earned, heavyweight Cooper added to that excitement as he avenged a loss from earlier in the season by defeating Brendan Barlow (Kent State), 4-2, in the tie breaker to earn All-America honors and remain alive in the tournament. Unseeded and two years removed from an 11-15 record, Cooper kept the match scoreless in the first by stuffing two shot attempts and then escaped from the bottom for a 1-0 lead in the second. After Barlow escaped bottom in the third and neither scored in overtime, Cooper chose down in the first tie breaker and escaped to make it 2-1. Barlow also escaped to tie it at 2-2, but Cooper blasted in on a shot and scored two for the takedown with eight seconds remaining in the session before holding on for the win.

Cooper, who lost a 12-4 major decision to Barlow at the Virginia Duals in January, then took the mat later in the evening looking to avenge another loss from earlier in the season as he took on Ricky Alcala (Indiana) in the consolation quarterfinals. Alcala opened the scoring with a takedown in the first and Cooper escaped to make it 2-1 before Cooper chose down and escaped to tie the score at 2-2 in the second. In the final stanza, Alcala reversed Cooper (4-2) before Cooper escaped (4-3), but that was ll the scoring. Cooper will now face No. 8 Anthony Nelson (Minnesota) on Saturday morning for seventh place.

With Robles, Jenkins and Cooper all earning All-America honors, it marks the first time the Sun Devils have had three or more honorees for the first time since 2006 when four Sun Devils earned the distinction. That year, Stith (2nd, 157), C.B. Dollaway (5th, 184), Ryan Bader (7th, 197) and Cain Velasquez (4th, 285) all placed in the Top 8.

Free Portable iPod Docking System for All Entrants in the Annual Idaho Potato Lover's Month Competition
EAGLE, ID, December 12, 2011—Fire up the glue guns: It's time for the Idaho Potato Commission's (IPC) 21st annual Potato Lover's Month Retail Display Contest.
Erupting volcanoes, helmet-topped spud football teams, and giant Idaho maps made of potatoes are just a few of the winning ideas that retailers have employed to drive February spud sales and earn cash prizes. This February, the IPC's longest-running and most popular promotion will offer $150,000 in cash and prizes for the nation's best retail displays featuring Idaho® potatoes. Plus, everyone who enters will automatically receive a free portable iPod docking station.
"This is a great way to pep up potato sales during February, which can be a slow month," said Seth Pemsler, vice president, Retail/International, IPC. "Besides the incentive of cash prizes, stores will see increased traffic in the produce department when they put up a creative, crowd-pleasing promotional display. Some of our past winners have reported sales increases of 20 percent, 50 percent and more!"
The contest is easy to enter: Retailers just design an attention-grabbing produce department display that includes fresh Idaho® potatoes, an Idaho® dehydrated potato product, Mrs. Dash Seasoning Blends, and Molly McButter, along with special-themed point-of-sale material from the IPC, Mrs. Dash or Molly McButter. Don't be afraid to go big, because shoppers love larger-than-life displays that stop them in their tracks.
Retailers will be competing with other stores their own size, in one of three categories: 1-5 cash registers, 6-9 cash registers, or 10+ cash registers. Entrants within each store category compete for these prizes:
- 1st place — $1,500
- 2nd place — $1,000
- 3rd place — $750
- 4th place — $500
- 5th place — $250
- 100 Honorable Mention Prizes of $100 will go to displays selected from the remaining entries
Category managers win, too! If their store secures a top place (1st through 5th), they will win a matching prize.
With premium Idaho® potatoes and the IPC's distinctive merchandising materials as the base, the sky's the limit for creative spud concepts, as past contest winners can attest. Sirna's Market Deli in Aurora, Ohio, captured a third place award of $750 among stores with 1-5 cash registers for its 2011 contest entry and saw a dramatic Idaho® potato sales boost, said produce manager Bryan Bennington.
"[The display,] Mrs. Dash Loves Her Idahos, was set up like a kitchen, with a giant Mrs. Dash balloon dressed in an apron cooking at the stove," said Bennington. "It took up about 20 percent of our produce space, and it even intruded into our grocery space. And our sales increased by 150 percent!"
Contest Details
Here's how retailers can enter the IPC Potato Lover's Month 2012 Retail Display Contest:
- Create an inviting display with fresh Idaho® potatoes, an Idaho® dehydrated potato product, Mrs. Dash Seasoning Blends, and Molly McButter, following the contest rules (available at www.IdahoPotato.com/Retail).
- Put up the display in the store's produce section for at least one week between Jan. 30 and March 2, 2012.
- Submit a picture of the display and an entry form (available at www.IdahoPotato.com/Retail) to the IPC so that it is received by March 16, 2012. Winners will be notified by May 2, 2012, and posted on www.IdahoPotato.com/Retail.
All entries will be judged on use of Potato Lover's Month signage, creativity of the display, how the display incorporates the partner products, and perceived salability of the display. Judging will be done by the Potato Lover's Month Display Contest Review Committee.
About the Idaho Potato Commission
The Idaho Potato Commission is a state agency that is primarily responsible for expanding the markets for Idaho-grown potatoes through advertising, promotion and research. The Commission also protects the use of the "Idaho® potato" and "Grown in Idaho" seals, which are federally registered Certification Marks that belong to the IPC. These Marks ensure that consumers are purchasing potatoes that have been grown in the state of Idaho. For more information, visit www.idahopotato.com.

Two dead and five injured is the current toll of at least four attacks by gunmen on a bus and three trucks that occurred during the Friday morning (21) on national road No. 1, between the Save River and the District of Muxúnguè.
Because of these attacks road traffic is subject to military escort from the bridge over the Save River up to Muxúnguè in Central Mozambique, and in the opposite direction.
There are unconfirmed reports that the bridge over the Ripembe River was damaged by the today's attacks.
According to a eyewitness on the spot, dozens of passenger cars and trucks have clustered near the Save River bridge, too frightened to continue their journeys.
The first attack that we were able to confirm happened shortly after 6:00 am on the Ripembe River bridge in the District of Machanga. A passenger on the bus of the private company Etrago was hit while on route from Maputo to Quelimane. The bus was hit by three shots, according to the administrator of the District of Chibabava, speaking to our reporter, and only the driver's expertise ensured the bus could carry on when the gunmen opened fire.
At the same place a truck owned by a company called TCO was attacked and deviated towards the bush where it caught fire. Two people were shot fatally, and the driver was even burned. Another person was wounded.
There are indications that two other attacks on trucks occurred this morning along the stretch of highway between Save and Muxúnguè, where at least three more Mozambican citizens were injured.
So far, there has been no official reaction from the Government authorities on these events.
The President of the Republic and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, Armando Guebuza, remains in the northern province of Niassa for Open Presidency activities.
Renamo spokesman arrested
In the early hours of Friday, Brigadier Jerónimo Malagueta, head of Renamo's Information Department (Renamo is the largest opposition party in Mozambique) was detained in circumstances that are still unclear. Rahil Khan, Political Coordinator of Renamo in the southern region, described the detention as "political kidnapping" because there is no indication of which authorities have carried out the arrest.
Khan added that this arrest "comes to harm the ongoing negotiations process".
Jerónimo Malagueta was the spokesman who read the declaration of "war" on Wednesday (19). He then announced that his party's armed forces would block road traffic on the highway linking the south to the centre and north of the country, in the section between the Save and Muxúnguè, as a way to prevent the government's military movements towards the direction of Satungira, where Renamo's leader, Afonso Dhlakama, has lived since the end of last year.
"Renamo forces will be positioned to prevent the movement of vehicles transporting people and goods, because the Government uses these vehicles to carry arms and military personnel in plainclothes, to concentrate in the vicinity of Satungira to the President of Renamo," said Jeronimo Malagueta.
On this morning's attacks Rahil Khan did not confirm whether it had been perpetrated by Renamo's men, however he stated that "Renamo announced that the road would be blocked".
Khan added that his party remains available to continue negotiations with the Government of Mozambique next Monday (24).
The spokesman of the police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM), Pedro Cossa, confirmed that the police detained Jerónimo Malagueta outside his residence in Maputo due to the declaration of war this week. According to Cossa, the Renamo Brigadier is being held in one of the prison units of the Mozambican capital.
Speaking at the end of the morning, in a press conference, Pedro Cossa said that the attacks were conducted by armed Renamo men and confirmed the death of two Mozambican citizens, a trucker and his assistant, and that five were wounded in the string of attacks.

I love soba noodle bowls. Not only are they a delicious and versatile meal, but they can be eaten hot or cold and make a great lunch or dinner! There are three elements to these comforting bowls: soba noodles, a flavorful dressing, and add-ins, usually vegetables, tofu, and/or meat. Right now I love taking advantage of fresh spring produce by incorporating radishes, spring onions, and edamame (or fava beans, if you're up to the task).
Recipe: Vegan Spring Soba Noodle Bowl
Makes 2 to 4 Servings
What You'll Need:
6 ounces soba noodles
1 cup shelled frozen edamame (or fava beans)
10 radishes, cleaned and sliced thin
3 scallions, sliced
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/2 tablespoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
fresh ground pepper
What to Do:
1. Prepare the dressing by whisking together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, fresh ground pepper, and if you want to add a slight kick, chili flakes. Set aside.
2. Cook the soba noodle in a large pot of salted boiling water for about 6 to 8 minutes. In the last minute of cooking, add the frozen edamame to the pot. Drain off the water and return the noodles and edamame to the pot.
3. Add a couple spoonfuls of the dressing to the noodles and stir to combine.
4. Stir in the the radishes and scallions. Mix in the desired amount of dressing.
5. Divide the soba noodles between bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds and a pinch of chili flakes.

More than 500 high school and transfer students, along with their parents, attended Saturday's open house at Herkimer County Community College.
That's according to Robert Palmieri, associate dean for enrollment management.
"Attending open house is the perfect way for prospective students to find out everything they want to know about HCCC," said Palmieri. "Open house gives students a good opportunity to see if the college is a good fit for them."
Saturday's spring open house allowed students and their families to attend workshops on financial aid and what to expect should they enroll. It also provided opportunities to tour the campus and on-campus housing, and to talk to faculty members.
HCCC President Dr. Ann Marie Murray said Herkimer County Community College offers the full college experience. "This is not just a place that you come in and leave. As a student you become part of something much greater," she said.
Murray outlined the skills each student who enrolls at and graduates from HCCC would receive. Those skills include how to be comfortable in any social setting, the ability to access knowledge through different mediums, problem solving and social awareness.
"These are skills that not only will help our graduates get their first job, but will help them land their first big promotion," she said.
Dean of Academic Affairs Michael Oriolo said the students who enroll at HCCC would learn the college cares about them and their future. "The three 'Cs' in HCCC do not stand for county community college, they stand for Herkimer cares times three," he said.
Oriolo cited the success of graduates like Thomas Lake, a member of the class of 1999 who is now a senior writer for Sports Illustrated, and Shane Hurlbut, a member of the class of 1984 who is an award-winning director of photography. Hurlbut's film credits include "Terminator Salvation," Drumline" and "We Are Marshall."
"Herkimer can help you reach your dreams and goals," he said to prospective students.
"If earning a college degree was easy, everyone would have one," said Dean of Students Matthew Hawes. "But we know that's not the case. To earn a college degree requires motivation and persistence. These are the variables that define success."
Hawes' message to the high school and transfer students was "learning is effort."
"You will get out what you put in," he said. "Students that put in the effort will be among the two-thirds of our graduates who transfer to a four-year college or university."
Saturday's open house also included a number of informational displays, presentations, faculty meetings and parent and student panel discussions. It was also a means to showcase why HCCC was ranked in the Top 100 Community Colleges in the Nation for Student Success. The college received national attention in June 2012 when CNNMoney published success rates of community colleges throughout the nation. In the report, HCCC was raked among the top 100 community colleges in the nation based on federally reported graduation and transfer rates. HCCC tied with Genesee Community College in Batavia for the top-ranked community college in New York state.

Ellen Greene promises Bryan Fuller's 'Pushing Daisies' zombie movie 'works'Add to Favorites | Hannibal
Bryan Fuller has an idea for a "Pushing Daisies" movie, but it doesn't seem like he's actually going to get around to making a Kickstarter for it any time soon. Maybe it's because he has to focus on "Hannibal's" second season or maybe he's just concerned that there wouldn't be enough interest to make the necessary amount of money if he did decide to fund a Kickstarter, but "Pushing Daisies" star Ellen Greene thinks fans should be the ones to push him to make the movie.
"Tell him to start a Kickstarter or the musical," the woman behind Aunt Vivian tells Zap2it on the 2013 Saturn Awards red carpet. "I do think the fans of ... 'Pushing Daisies' should really go on his Twitter and bother him and tell him they want what they want." She adds, "I love being Vivian."
Greene confirms that Fuller already wrote his idea for a zombie "Pushing Daisies" movie. He previously revealed of the plot that it starts with "a flash-flood in a cemetery and basically is about those denizens of that cemetery having to kill Ned before he can kill them, so it's a different kind of zombie movie." Greene, who has read the script, promises that the zombie premise will work for the potential film.
"Everything Bryan Fuller sets out to do works. You may not understand in it at first, but you just believe. You believe," she says. "Bryan Fuller is such a genius and he's such a gift to artistry. And he's also kind. He's a wonderful human being."
Even though "Pushing Daisies" went off the air in 2009, Fuller still found a way to work with Greene by giving her a role on "Hannibal." He already told her that her character Mrs. Komeda will be back in Season 2.
"To be in Bryan Fuller's brain is like a delightful romp in imagination. He is magic. His characters have such detail. His shows have such attention to detail. His characters are in everything from the character development to editing to music. He cares about everything," Greene gushes. "If you get scared of gore, just remember that it's Bryan Fuller doing it -- and it's not real."
If you miss "Pushing Daisies" as much as we here at Zap2it do, watch the above video to see Greene slip into an Aunt Vivian impression. It's adorable.

Hello guys!
So I'm writing this program that takes 2 integers and determines if the first number is an integer multiple of the second number. I'm using the % operator. I'm also trying to determine if the second number is an integer multiple of the first number. So far this is what I have:
#include "stdio.h" int x, y; void main() { printf("Please enter in the first whole number\n"); scanf("%d", &x); printf("Please enter in the second whole number\n"); scanf("%d", &y); if ((x % y) == 0) printf("The number %d is a multiple of %d\n",x,y); if ((y % x) == 0) printf("The number %d is a multiple of %d\n",y,x); }
So far I have gotten the program to run almost flawlessly until it comes to the 2nd if statement. I cannot get this silly program to work correctly. It tells me that the 1st number is a multiple of the 2nd number, but it will not tell me if the 2nd number is a multiple of the first. Any ideas? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

IPR Center partners Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Mexican Tax Administration initiated Operation Safe Summer to target, interdict and investigate the importation of items through the mail that violate intellectual property law, particularly those that pose a threat to public health and safety.
In seven two-week surges from July to September at six express courier consignment facilities and two international mail facilities in the United States and land, air and sea ports of entry and mail facilities in Mexico, 800 seizures and detentions (pending laboratory verification) were made of counterfeit electronic products, pharmaceuticals, critical components (i.e. networking software), automobile airbags, rifle sites, air soft guns, cellular phones, batteries and chargers, and health and beauty products. The exact manufacturers' suggested retail value of the seized and detained items is still being determined, but is estimated to be millions of dollars.
Mexican authorities seized 306 tons of counterfeit merchandise at mail facilities and land, air and sea ports of entry in their country.
"The smuggling of counterfeit goods poses a triple threat to the United States. Most of the items seized in these operations threaten health and safety, rob Americans of jobs, and divert legitimate revenue from responsible industries to the pockets of organized crime," said ICE Director John Morton. "Some of the shoddy goods we encountered could have cost consumers their lives."
Based on previous seizures, investigations and targeting, the IPR Center determined that counterfeit, substandard and tainted items commonly enter the U.S. via international mail facilities and express courier consignment facilities to avoid scrutiny by Customs at ports of entry. Safe Summer operations were undertaken for two-week periods at FedEx facilities in Indianapolis, San Francisco and Newark; DHL facilities at John F. Kennedy International Airport and Cincinnati; UPS facilities in Newark; and international mail facilities in San Francisco and Chicago.
The IPR Center is one of the U.S. Government's key weapons in the fight against IP theft. The IPR Center offers one-stop shopping for both law enforcement and the private sector to address the growing transnational threat of counterfeit merchandise. The IPR Center coordinates outreach to U.S. rights holders and conducts domestic and international law enforcement training to stem the growing counterfeiting threat as well as coordinating and directing anti-counterfeiting investigations.

'Robopocalypse' Isn't Dead Yet! Steven Spielberg Clarifies "Indefinite Hold"Britt Hayes January 10, 2013 @ 4:36 PM
The decisions of directors often impact their colleagues, especially when they're working in close proximity to similar material, so it makes sense to think that perhaps Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' influenced Steven Spielberg's decision to place 'Robopocalypse' on indefinite hold. However, this "hold" may not be what it seems, according to recent statements by Spielberg.

Brief reports from Day 2 of the 2012 LDS Film Festival
The Letter Writer
Written / Directed by: Christian Vuissa
The Letter Writer is both an old and new film for writer / director Christian Vuissa (The Errand of Angels, One Good Man). In 2006, he created a short 12-minute film about an old man who writes letters to inspire others, and in 2011 has expanded it to a full-length feature, using the same actors.
Vuissa has been accused by some (…okay, me) of oversimplifying complex material to create highly idealistic movies that are just a tad detached from reality. However, since The Letter Writer is fundamentally such a simple story to begin with, it plays more to Vuissa's strengths. As a result, The Letter Writer is arguably his best and most effective film. (Your mileage may vary, naturally.)
Maggy is a young teen who lives with her divorced mother, and whose only interests are singing in her rock band and hanging out with her guitarist boyfriend. One day she receives a letter from an unknown writer who seems to know her personally ("I've been meaning to write to you for a long time. Ever since you were young I knew you were destined to accomplish great things.") Thinking it's a distant relative, she tracks down the letter writer and finds a nursing home patient named Stanley who has never met her before. As a hobby, Stanley randomly writes letters with inspiring phrases in the hope of providing a comfort and blessing to someone who needs it. They strike up a friendship, and as other areas of Maggy's life start to fall apart, she starts to follow Stanley's example in finding her own talent to bless others.
The Letter Writer bears many structural resemblances to Christmas Angel: a young girl becoming the "apprentice" to an older man who help random people around them. Instead of sharing cash and food, however, Stanley shares uplifting thoughts and messages through letters and small cards. (The film seems to take place in an earlier era — "Forever" stamps notwithstanding — without cellphones, Internet, or modern social media.)
As a premise, writing random notes to people you've never met raises some questions: Doesn't it cheapen the message to have a note that sounds personal, but written by a stranger with no actual knowledge of your life circumstances? (Maggy thinks so; she says finding out her "personal" note came from someone who doesn't know her made the message meaningless.) Stanley sort of shrugs at the suggestion his positive platitudes may not be that useful. The question of the ultimate utility of Stanley's hobby might have been a flaw of the film, except that The Letter Writer isn't really about letter writing. Maggy discovers early on that she isn't capable of maintaining Stanley's habit…but finds she doesn't have to. She has her own talents and opportunities to serve, and takes instead Stanley's philosophy and outlook on life for herself rather than his hobby.
The Letter Writer is simple and sweet, even with a few melodramatic elements. (Is there a bald kid next door undergoing chemotherapy whom Maggy gets to visit and inspire in the hospital? Of course there is! Is there a tearful conversation with her mom where Maggy shares how much she loves her? Of course there is!) Maggy's unsubtle conversion from singing rock songs to church hymns and easy-listening folk music is a little eye-rolling. ("I haven't been using my voice for GOOD, and helping people," she says, after she's been replaced in her rock band. Because, of course, no one has ever been inspired, edified, or comforted by rock music, aka the music of the DEVIL…)
Regardless, The Letter Writer is simple, heart-warming and non-offensive — a typical Christian Vuissa film, in other words.
My Grade: B
Written / Directed by: Amy Kenney
Writer/Director Amy Kenney (and her husband Shawn, who produces) were chronicled earlier by KSL in relation to Christian vs. LDS Films. The Kenneys seek to create films that appeal to all religious demographics, and Stand Strong is their attempt to create a timely message about financial and lifestyle management using "God's laws".
Matt and Tara Webster are a upper-middle-class couple living in Utah Valley with three kids. Everything is going great professionally and socially with a nice house, upscale friends, and lots of "toys", until one day things start to fall apart. Their adjustable-rate mortgage adjusts and they can't afford the house payments. Their "toys" are repossessed. The economy is tight so there are layoffs at work. Broke and humiliated, Matt and family end up living in his brother's basement while they attempt to put their life back together. His brother encourages them to shape their lives after True Principles: being thrifty and wise with money, as well as living the Lord's gospel plan for families as defined in the Bible.
Stand Strong is successful in being generically Christian, even though the characters are still pretty obviously LDS. (Food storage, LDS "prayer-speak", and reading scriptures from the LDS quad — complete with the standard footnotes — are a giveaway, even though only Bible verses are quoted in the film.) Stand Strong has a meaningful message about how "the most important things in life aren't things" and has its heart in the right place.
However, Stand Strong is a film that's VERY preachy — written like a Sunday School object lesson without subtlety or nuance, rather than a character-driven drama. The family members in Stand Strong are archetypes rather than real people (Read the character descriptions on the website and you can get a feel how each family member has been condensed into a one sentence description that represents their persona in the film) The dialogue is on-the-nose, explaining in direct terms what happening and what lesson the audience is supposed to be getting. Each Webster family member gets at least one "speech" to review with the audience about what they've learned. At no time does it sound like what an actual family would say to one another.
Does that matter if the content of the film still provides a good message? If you treat the film as a "lesson" — something to show and discuss in a Family Home Evening or other setting — Stand Strong is servicable. As a meaningful and compelling film, the lack of artistry hurts.
Stand Strong is also ultra-orthodox in its view of family roles, which may alienate audiences who don't share the filmmakers' assumptions. The father is intended to "preside, provide, and protect" in all things. When the Websters face severe financial trouble, there's no discussion whatsoever of Tara, the mom, working outside the home to help them dig out of their hole. The 18-year-old son Brendan is encouraged to develop his talents and help his father with his business; however, his 16-year-old sister — notably — is not. The film gives her no talents or skills at all, in fact, and implies her role in the family is not to help overcome their current challenges, but apparently to wait for marriage. (In a strangely creepy scene framed like a marriage proposal, the dad gives his daughter a ring to represent his role as her father and patriarch until her future husband replaces it with a ring of his own.) Stand Strong also provides a valentine to home schooling, with the strong implication that any mother who loves her children should be home-schooling them rather than (selfishly) sending them off for someone else to teach. ("I don't want to miss another moment of my kid's childhood!") The film shares scriptures from Proverbs 31 and the New Testament as support, but it is still debatable whether they justify such strident conclusions about the Right Way to live as a family.
The moral about financial management and keeping priorities straight is a timely message (even if the financial advice is just a variation of this SNL skit). However, the lack of realistic characters and constant preaching make Stand Strong more tedious than it should be. (Who would have thought Christian Vuissa's film would have been the most nuanced of the pair?) The Kenneys have potential as effective filmmakers, I just hope next time they spend more effort creating a compelling story and realistic characters to go with their gospel-oriented message.
My Grade: C+

Gyration Air Mouse Elite Lets You Point In The Air, Makes Desktop Mouse 'Deskless'!
We have seen the desktop mouse evolve from a basic pointing device to one of the most capable tools of gamertainment, then came the wireless desktop mouse which took over the conventional wired desktop mouse like a storm.
The evolution does not stop at this instance. Technology has shown us the face of a no-strings-attached type Air Mouse (currently manufactured by different vendors like the recently released Logitech's MX Air Mouse for instance) named as the Gyration Air Mouse Elite which lets us use the mouse in air.
Basically, the air mouse uses UltraSense Technology to enable air-action and connects to your computer via a 2.4GHz RF and requires a USB receiver at the other end. Another USB port can be used to charge the wireless mouse.
It works on flat surfaces as well, just like our regular desktop mouse but with 100 feet of wireless operational capability. This air mouse is designed to identify hand gestures (hand movements) in the air using a gyroscope inscribed in the mouse which also measures the angle and speed of movement.
Using the same motion sense technology, the mouse can also be used to deliver presentations by wirelessly navigating through slideshows and menus. Weighing just 3.3 ounces, the gyration air mouse is an exemplary of the explorable dimensions of the wireless technology besides finding place in your pockets as a very useful tool if you love to deal with things wirelessly and boundlessly.
The company's claims its motto behind the design is to provide users with "enhanced freedom and flexibility when performing mouse actions in the air". The Air Mouse Elite is compatible with Microsoft Windows 98 and higher and comes with the supportive MotionTools software.
It may also work USB 1.1 and other Mac systems but with limited functionality while the GyroTools software is only compatible with Windows OSs.
You can pocket this all in one wireless mouse for $99.99 when it goes on sale "in the coming weeks". It will also be available with a wireless keyboard for a price tag of $149.99 but if you cannot wait to get your hands on it, click here to buy the other available versions from the Air Mouse series… [Amazon Link]

First Sony TV & in LOVE! Was a little worried about the MotionFlow tech making things look like a soap opera but it doesn't at all. Makes things just a tad smoother which is great for action movies and video games. I've read complaints about the viewing angle but I didn't notice any degrade in picture quality from any angle. Out of the box picture seemed calibrated, sharp, bright & clear. User Interface is very straightforward with lots of settings (if you so desire). Very thin bezel and stand make it look like a piece of art on my TV stand. Very polished product all around, can't recommend it enough.

I recently purchased this tv along with a Sony blue ray player hoping to have a wonderful Sony experience and a seamless integration of the two devices. This is far from what happened. After plugging in my new Sony device I ran into many problems, one of them being that I could not operate tv functions when my blu ray played was on! After buying a new blue ray and still having the same problem so I called Sony . This didn't help at all since they pretty much said there is nothing they can do about it, even though this problem is clearly a software issue. Secondly this Tv only has Two hdmi ports, with one of them placed annoyingly on the side of the tv so and hdmi cable that is plugged in hangs out from the side of the tv. Do not be fooled by their advertisement of 3 hd inputs, they only say this because one hdmi port doubles as a MHL port. And lastly, the biggest gimmick of them all, is the hz rating on this tv. Nowhere will you be able to find the hz rating of this tv, not on their website, not on any manual that comes with the tv and certainly don't trust the Sony guy at your local tv store. After intensive research and filtering through tons of bs on the Internet I finally called Sony again. After waiting 10 minutes for the employe to look up my answer I was informed this tv is only a measly 60 hz. Let me repeat that this tv is only 60 hz. So if you are planning on watch high sipped sports like hockey or football even video games be warned not matter what Sony does with their " motion flow" technology it will be not be the smooth seamless picture you were hoping for. Sorry to rain on your parade of finding a cheap 50 in led, but in this case you are really getting what you pay for. I am currently packing up all my Sony products and returning them after two weeks of frustration and sadness. Once a company I looked up to as a kid growing up for high quality equipment only to be disappointed as an adult who finally has the money to buy some nice electronics. Goodbye Sony, you are no longer a product I will ever purchase again.

Great Deal!

Our living room tv recently broke and we needed to replace it. With Christmas around the corner we did not want to spend a whole lot of money on a replacement. This tv was a great deal for a tv from a reputable manufacturer. It has a great picture and good sound quality. We do get a glare on it but I think that is because of where in our living room it is hanging. Our other tv had one too. I would definitely recommend this tv to anyone looking for a great deal!

Purchased just before thanksgiving and have watched a lot of football since. This TV is absolutely amazing, especially for the price. I like it much more than a smaller Samsung I have at home. Sony design and quality at 50" for this price is a steal. Highly recommended
Like it a lot but....
By Warno
from Schaumburg, IL
The low profile border around the screen is very nice. Colors and sound are good too...almost too good as it reveals all the flaws in the on-screen content like bad makeup on news anchors or uneven lighting in sports arenas. I like everything about this but...there's only one composite input and no s-video input either. I'm still too heavily invested in analog media and have an older DVD player (with no HDMI output) and a large VHS library and working VCR. Both devices only have composite outputs so I either have to buy a composite A/V switcher or use the RF antenna input to view the VCR. That's what all the newest TVs all come with unfortunately so it's a trade off between picture quality and flexibility. If your home set up is all digital then this TV can easily accommodate you but if you need to connect more than one analog device, be prepared to come up with a workaround.

WildCare's Wildlife Hospital puts our staff and volunteers at the forefront of wildlife disease awareness. We admit many patients with potentially contagious diseases and have to take special precautions to prevent them from spreading between species. We humans are animals too. Some of the diseases of wildlife
can also affect us. This isn't limited to people who work at WildCare, either. As our general population comes closer and closer to
wildlife, scientists are looking closely at how wildlife diseases relate
to people, and to other wildlife. West Nile Virus, Swine Flu, Ebola, Chronic Wasting Disease and many more emerging pathogens are all potentially harmful across the species barrier.
It is heartening to see that scientists from different disciplines are examining these relationships, and while the
number of questions is mind-numbing, steps
are being taken to find answers. Quoting from an article published in Preventive Veterinary Medicine about the concept of "one medicine," which includes the contribution of veterinary medicine to public health:
The concept of "ecosystem health" extends "one medicine" to the
whole ecosystem, including wildlife. Sustainable development depends on
the mutualism of health and well-being of humans, animals and the
ecosystems in which they co-exist.
Conservationists have recognised and promoted what are known as the "Manhattan principles" that
the health and sustainable maintenance of wildlife in natural reserves
are mutually interdependent with the health of communities and the
livestock surrounding them.
What Can Urban Wildlife Tell Us?
"Distemper" is a name given to a common viral disease of certain carnivores (skunks, raccoons, foxes, coyotes) that manifests in symptoms that include lethargy, apparent tameness and central nervous system disorders such as repetitive actions and seizures. Over the last year, routine laboratory tests WildCare has ordered for suspected distemper cases have revealed that several of the animals tested by UC Davis' California Animal Health and Food Safety (CAHFS) Laboratory do not have distemper at all, but suffer from other diseases, such as brain tumors and unusual bacterial or viral infections. In the last few months, two suspected distemper raccoons have tested positive for a rare form of cancer called glioblastoma. WildCare will be working with pathologists who want to publish these two cases.
Dr. Deana Clifford, Associate Wildlife Veterinarian at the California Department of Fish and Game Wildlife Investigations Laboratory wrote to WildCare Animal Care Director Melanie Piazza in a personal email, "In general we are seeing more examples of cancer in wildlife. It may be
because we are looking at more wildlife these days, but it may also be
that wildlife is a sentinel for things going wrong in the environment."
Over the course of the next few years, WildCare medical staff will be building a database of these test results to study what changes occur in suspected "distemper" cases. In the meantime, read more about what scientists are doing.
You Can Help
Like any doctor of medicine would vow, "First do no harm." Don't feed wildlife. This builds unnaturally high populations of animals that become increasingly habituated to people and encourages close proximity to humans. Don't relocate nuisance animals. This can introduce disease into areas where it does not currently exist.
The United States Geological Survey has also suggested wildlife health reporting tools may help prevent human illness. They have offered two new tools that enable the public to report sick
or dead wild animals in hopes this will help lead to the detection and
containment of wildlife disease outbreaks that may pose a health risk to
The Wildlife Health Event Reporter (WHER) is their new website that enables anyone with an internet connection to report sightings of sick or dead wildlife. HealthMap.org has enhanced its mobile phone application "Outbreaks Near Me" to accept and relay wildlife health reports to the WHER site.
