Cities Learning From Burning Man
An interesting little video from Time Magazine with 5 things cities can learn from the Burning Man festival.

Wow! Thanks for posting this.
- 01:04
Except the Bureau of Land Management has to come in after to clean up the trash left behind. And people dump all their trash in Reno on the way out, many of them in such a hurry to leave that they don't even dispose of it properly. So I think Burning Man needs to reexamine some of their practices and "values".
- 08:26
- Justin C. Houk said...
Great Story. I have heard that the event organizers go to superhuman lengths to minimize the impacts on the surrounding wilderness and community. I'm sure that the garbage dumping in reno is more than offset by the massive influx of dollars by people buying supplies, eating, and playing.
- 22:17
In his list of five thoughts to live by in Burning man town, the guru left out the most important from what I saw.
Be strangely compelling. Again and again on the clip I saw images which you'd have to describe that way.
To strive to be strangely compelling, is a royal goal.
I was reminded of the closing evening of the Woodford festival some years ago where a huge skeletal danced his own fiery death, while a burning man still untouched, loomed behind , waiting his turn.
I'll be back with the URL for that night in a sec. Mike rubbo
- 09:23
Here's a URL worth looking at if you like Burning man events.
This is a music community, 40,000 people who come together for music at Woodford, Queensland, over new years.
The cluster of days, always ends with a night of fire and music, created by the guests at the festival themselves.
You'll have to wait a couple of minutes to get to the burning elements. But there's much which strangely compelling to see on the way, starting with fire kindled from friction . Mike Rubbo

Tech 101 – How to use measuring tools
While it may be true that you can never have too many tools, some of the most useful tools you should have in your toolbox are not chromed or made with safety-grip handles. Some of these measuring tools are not cheap, but each performs at least one essential function that professional mechanics and manufacturers use on a regular basis and that you may someday also have a need for. Usually, you discover you need them right in the middle of a job, so it is a good idea to be preemptive and acquire these measuring tools as time and money permit. We list these tools roughly in what we consider order of importance, but you can set your own priorities based on use and cost.
Tape Measure
Besides their obvious functions for measuring length, width, height and in some cases depth, tape measures can also be used to determine outside diameters of tubing (circumference/Pi)
Vernier Caliper
An accurate sliding rule measuring tool, similar to micrometers, that can be used to measure inside and outside diameters as well as depths. There are several different kinds of vernier caliper; the earliest units were merely slide rulers with opposing stepped jaws; however, other versions with the addition of a dial face make even more accurate measurements on a smaller scale. The newest vernier calipers now use a digital readout that measure to the ten-thousandth of an inch or even smaller.
Thread gauge
Essential for determining threads per inch when measuring bolts, nuts and hydraulic fittings. Available in standard or metric, you should have both because a 3/8-24 and a 10mm X 1 bolt look almost identical until the third thread stops you from completing the job. Thread gauges are also helpful in determining which tap or die to use or what pitch thread file to use when rethreading spindles, nuts and bolts. Usually included in a good set of taps and dies.
Feeler gauge
Feeler gauges are made up of several thin strips of metal, each machined to a specific thickness for use in setting the proper air gap on breaker points and for measuring valve clearances on cylinder heads. Brass feeler gauges are also available for measuring the gap on magnetic inductive pickups in electronic ignition. When used in conjunction with a straight edge, feeler gauges can also measure manifold and cylinder surfaces for flatness and indicate how much milling is necessary to bring a surface back to flush. Most feeler gauges are sold in a set with many others of varying thicknesses, usually in one thousandth of inch increments. Very short feelers are convenient for getting down inside a distributor, but long feeler gauges are available for measuring front end alignment or head-to-block clearance. A long bent feeler gauge is made for measuring valve-to-rocker-arm clearances.
This accurate measuring tool comes in two different configurations, one for measuring inside dimensions and one for outside measurements. Micrometers usually come in pairs or in sets with several measured rods included to increase their range. Accurate to within several thousandths, micrometers are an essential tool for machinists and engineers. They are handy for measuring piston or crankshaft journal size, disc brake rotor runout, cylinder bore size, and also the depth of a drilled hole.
Dial Indicator
Dial indicators can measure very small movement very accurately. A dial indicator can tell you when parts show excessive wear, and can help you put parts into precise adjustment. The device usually consists of a round body with an indicator dial, a fixed base or stand, and a protruding rod that does the measuring. A dial indicator usually has a magnetic base, but it can also have another fixing device, such as Vise-Grips, that clamp the tool onto a stationary part. Here are just a few of this tool's many uses:
* Measuring crankshaft end play. Attach the magnetic base to the block, rest the end of the plunger on the crankshaft pulley, and move the pulley in and out as far as possible, either by levering it or depressing the clutch. Check this reading against the specifications in your shop manual as an indication of other internal engine problems.
* Checking brake rotors for warping. Mount the dial indicator's base on a suspension part, adjust the plunger so that it lightly rests against the rotor contact surface, zero out the dial, and turn the rotor by hand. If the disc is not perfectly flat, the needle will wiggle. Movement of .005 inches or more means the rotor should be machined or replaced.
* Measuring valve clearance. A dial indicator will measure rocker-arm-to-valve-stem clearance. Mount the indicator so that the plunger is vertical in relation to the movement of the rocker arm, and locate it directly over where the two meet. Rotate the engine until the valve is closed, and depresses the rocker arm onto the valve stem. Zero the gauge and then lift the rocker as far as possible. This reading will tell you the exact valve clearance.
* Measuring ring and pinion backlash. Using a dial indicator, you can measure the proper clearance between a differential ring gear and its mated pinion shaft. It can also be used to check alignment and spacing of new parts for proper fit before final assembly, preventing the waste of new bearings or crush collars that must be removed to install alignment shims.
Torque Wrench
Yes, a torque wrench can be considered a measuring tool because it measures metal-to-metal resistance. It can be critical when assembling components that the hardware be a certain tightness without being overly tight. That's where your torque wrenches come in handy. Offered in various drives and graduated in either pound-feet or pound-inch units, usually equivalents in Newton meters are also indicated on the adjustment scale. Large four-foot-long torque wrenches can be one-inch drive and rated to thousands of pound-feet and are used to check highway overpass hardware. Torque wrenches should be sent back to the manufacturer or a repair facility for re-calibration every few years, depending on the amount of use.
Torque Angle Gauge
Used in conjunction with a torque wrench, a torque angle gauge measures fastener tightness by the degree angle of the nut or bolt head rather than the reading on the torque wrench. Aligning the angle of each fastener results in even torque on all attaching hardware.
Having a tool available when you need it is important, and measuring tools these days, as with most other hand tools, can be very inexpensive. However, because you want accurate measurements that will eliminate fitment headaches down the road, it is recommended that you buy the very best tool you can afford. Dollar store tape measures and other hand tools are sold there for a reason, and cheaper plastic Vernier calipers often lose accuracy (usually because you absentmindedly spin the adjust wheel until the gears strip). Precision measuring tools also need extra care when being stored, so the open end wrench drawer of your top box is probably not the best place to keep them. Save the box or case they came in, and devote one drawer in your toolbox for the "delicates."

Adoptees Sold by Nuns WorldWide
Nun's Habits in Spain It started with a whisper in Spain. A Catholic nun was charged for the first time with abducting a baby from an unwed mother which was sold to a childless couple. Sister Maria Gomez Valbuena told the mother that the baby had died at first, later admitting that it had been adopted. There had been whispers before in Quebec in the 1930-1970s with thousands of French Canadian babies being taken from their … Read entire article »

After 16 games with no points and a -11 rating Blake Comeau is done as a New York Islander, for now. The 25-year old was placed on waivers today. If he is not claimed by another NHL team, he will report to Bridgeport. This may be why Nino Niederreiter was scratched the last few games — to give Comeau a 'last shot' to stay before a move was made.
Who will fill the spot? Justin DiBenedetto, Bridgeport's best left wing after Ullstrom, makes sense as the next man in line for a call up but he is banged up and didn't play last weekend. Tim Wallace a left wing signed this summer and a career minor leaguer has been playing well with 14 points in 18 games. Long-time Sound Tiger and Islander Jeremy Colliton has been centering David Ullstrom for much of the season, another option. Casey Cizikas is another center option, with 12 points in 18 games.
If Comeau had any trade value, believe me he would have been traded. This was likely Snow's solution after finding no offers for him. Remember, it's hard to make a trade when the player you're moving has a line of 0-0-0 through 16 games and has been a healthy scratch.

By Melanie Evans-Rivera, Knicks Fan Since '90
New York added another one to the win column, but the final score didn't tell the whole story. For the Knicks, six players racked up double figures, further illustrating that teamwork is the recipe for success. Led by the record-breaking performance from Carmelo Anthony, there was a lot to like about this game. These are my biggest takeaways from the victory over Orlando.

If you are in an abusive relationship, here are some ways to protect yourself:
Decide on a safe place to go if an argument occurs. Avoid rooms with no exits (bathroom, basement) and avoid rooms with things that could be used as weapons (kitchens, garages, basement).
Make a list of people to call for help. Memorize important emergency numbers.
Call the Domestic Violence Center (216- and the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center (216-619-6192) and find out, before you are in an emergency situation, what kinds of help are available to you.
Establish a code word, unknown to your partner, or sign with friends and family, so they know when you need help.
Think about what you will say or do—or not do—if your partner becomes violent.
Keep a set of clothes and emergency supplies (medications, cash, toiletries) stored at a friend or relative's house in case you need to flee your house.
Keep a set of important documents—such as passport, protective order, financial records, birth certificate, deeds, and safety deposit key—in a safe place away from the house or apartment you share with your partner—a place ONLY YOU can access.
If you have a protective order, keep it with you at all times. Make several copies, and keep them in a safe place, out of your partner's reach.
If you have left the relationship
It takes a lot of courage to leave an abusive relationship. However, the period right after you leave can be a dangerous one. Take the following steps to improve your safety:
Change the locks immediately, if your former partner has a key.
Change your phone number and screen your calls.
Save all evidence involving your former partner's abusive behavior; document all injuries.
Avoid staying alone for a while, and vary your daily routine.
Plan how you will escape if your former partner confronts you.
If you must meet your partner, arrange to meet in a public place at a time when you are certain plenty of other people will be around. Avoid being drawn into any contact at all, including phone calls, with the former partner unless it is absolutely necessary.
Notify friends, family, co-workers, and supervisors that you have left the relationship. Former partners often contact people who know their victims to get information about their daily routine, phone number, and address.

Kenneth J. Stull will be sworn in next week as temporary assistant chief for the Ogdensburg Fire Department.
Mr. Stull, who joined the department as a firefighter in September 2000 and, has been one of its four captains since October 2008, will be administered the oath at City Hall on Feb. 13 at 3 p.m.
His annual salary will be $61,518.
Provisional Chief Michael J. Farrell, whom Mr. Stull is replacing, will next have to name a temporary captain. He intends to make that announcement on March 1.
Were still interviewing the captains (candidates), he said Friday, adding that there are four of them.
Mr. Farrell, who replaced the retired Steven M. Badlam on Tuesday, is provisional because he needs to take a Civil Service test with other applicants to create a list of candidates. From that list, one of the top three scorers will be chosen for the permanent chief position. The test will be held next January.
Until a permanent chief is in place, the appointment of Mr. Stull and a firefighter whom Mr. Farrell will name March 1 will remain temporary.

A DeLand farmer is searching on Monday for the thieves he says stole two of his goats, along with a 20-gallon barrel of goat feed.
Carl Husfeld, 83, tells Local 6 someone jumped his fence at Husfeld's Tree and Goat Farm in DeLand and stole two of his goats, along with their feed.
"They probably tied their legs up and tied them all up, and lifted them over the fence," said Husfeld.
Husfeld says he bought his two white goats for about $50 a piece two years ago, and today they're not worth much more.
So, why would someone steal a goat?
"It's just two goats you know, unless they want to get started in raising goats ... I don't know," he said.
Husfeld is offering a $300 reward for anyone with information that leads to an arrest.
"I'm gonna get some posters made and put them at public places," he said.
Husfeld said he is going to buy 10 more goats and will move the sheds further onto his property so they're not as visible from the road.

An earlier version of this story misstated the percentage drop in ThyssenKrupp's profit. The story has been corrected.
LONDON (MarketWatch) — European stock markets ended mostly higher on Tuesday, with Barclays PLC shares rallying after a positively-received earnings report and Spanish stocks gaining ground after encouraging comments from European Central Bank President Mario Draghi.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, -0.92% rose 0.5% to close at 287.07, rebounding from a 0.6% loss on Monday.
Finmeccanica CEO arrested
Italian police arrested Giuseppe Orsi, the chief executive of Finmeccanica, Italy's biggest defense and aerospace group. Orsi is under investigation in relation to a $750 million bribery case. Photo: Reuters
"We won't see too many moves in the run-up to the next big international event, the G-20 meeting on Friday. People don't want to do too much ahead of that and want to see what they say about currency depreciation," said John Redwood, chief of the investment committee at Evercore Pan-Asset.
In recent months, market spectators have been worried a currency war would spook financial markets, as central banks have moved to aggressively ease monetary policy, ultimately putting pressure on their own currencies.
"It has had a big impact on the equity markets and has been taken very bullish for Japanese shares," he said.
Among big European movers, shares of Michelin ML, -1.55% dropped 4.3%, the biggest loss in the pan-European index. The tire maker said volumes fell 6.4% in 2012, and it expects those volumes to hold steady in 2013 "in a market environment that is uncertain in mature markets but still expanding in the new ones."
Shares of Finmeccanica SpA FNC, +1.02% Italy's biggest defense and aerospace group, sank 7.3% in Milan, after Chief Executive Giuseppe Orsi was reportedly arrested as part of a corruption investigation. Italian authorities banned short selling of Finmeccanica shares for Tuesday and Wednesday due to strong price swings. See: Finmeccanica CEO arrested on corruption charges
On a more upbeat note, shares of Barclays PLC BARC, -2.01% BCS, -3.62% jumped 8.6% as the bank said it would slash at least 3,700 jobs over the next three years to cut costs by 1.7 billion pounds ($2.66 billion). See: Barclays to cut thousands of jobs in next 3 years
G-20 meeting in focus
For the broader European stock markets, investors had only a light data calendar from which to draw inspiration.
Attention instead fell on remarks by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi in Madrid. In a news conference following a closed-door meeting with Spanish lawmakers, Draghi said Spain was on the right track toward recovery, news reports said.
The remarks helped send the IBEX 35 index IBEX, -1.28% 1.9% higher to 8,234.70.
Meanwhile, European finance ministers also met in Brussels.

Indians still have plenty of weapons
Colville High's high-flying softball program will look a little different this spring for a couple of reasons.
First, the Indians are back in the familiar confines of the 2A Great Northern League for at least a two-year WIAA enrollment cycle. And second, assistant coach Jim Ebel has been elevated to head coach after Mandy Sumner, who guided the Indians to the cusp of a State 1A championship the past two seasons, resigned. Gone with Sumner is her husband, assistant coach Rob Sumner.
Last May, the Indians got as close to a State championship as any team can get without actually winning the thing. CHS (23-4) came within a break or two of bringing home the school's first fast-pitch softball title, losing a heart-breaking 4-3 decision in nine innings to 1A champion Connell in the title game at Richland.
While some of the faces have changed on the field and in the dugout for Colville, there is still certainly enough remaining talent for the Indians to contend for a GNL championship this spring.
Key components have graduated
Colville will need to fill some big shoes, most notably departed All-State pitcher Jolene Rogers, third baseman Tasji Urhausen (playing at Spokane Falls Community College) and outfielder Cassie Cote.
"We lost some very good players (graduation), but we have a veteran team coming back," Ebel said.
It didn't help the depth, or the starting line-up any this spring when the Indians lost a couple of projected starters who moved out of the district. Another player opted to play tennis this spring.
But Ebel likes what he's seen so far.
"We're still fairly deep," he said. "Since we have a lot of juniors, there are a lot of kids that have a lot of softball background."
The strength of the 2013 CHS line-up is up the middle, where All-NEA catcher Jammie Madonna returns for her senior season. One of the best catchers to ever play for Colville High will play for North Idaho College next fall.
The pitching duties will fall on junior right-hander McKenna Cabbage. As a sophomore, Cabbage played first base and backed up Rogers in the circle. She's pretty much the show this spring. McKenna has already shown that she can dominate at times.
"Our battery is definitely a strength of this team," Ebel said.
Anchoring the outfield will be four-year varsity starter Leanna Carr in right.
The Indians return another veteran all-league performer in senior shortstop Taylor Kellum.
At first base and DH will be second year varsity performer and senior Jalene Howell.
The junior class includes returning starting outfielder Jessi Wittmeyer (centerfield) and fellow returning varsity starter, April Hinds, at second base.
Vying for time at third base will be junior Emily Poling, who's up from the junior varsity.
Miranda Tostenson and fellow junior Nyshel Pease will likely see action in the outfield. Pease, who lack's the softball experience of some of the other CHS players, is a solid athlete who could see time in the infield or outfield.
Junior Hannah Smith, up from the CHS junior varsity, is competing for playing time in the infield and outfield.
Sophomore Kayla Howes will back up Madonna behind the plate and possibly see some time at third base or in left field.
Another sophomore, McKenna Iverson, could see some time in the circle or in the infield.
Freshman Baylee Main will swing between varsity and junior varsity. She will pitch for the junior varsity and likely work in the infield.
This year's coaching staff includes assistants Tim Vaughn, Jim Noetzelman and junior varsity coach and former CHS standout, Jennica Ebel.
Any talk of a league's power base, whether it's the GNL or the NEA, has to start with Colville. The tradition-rich program still has enough firepower to win another league championship and make a deep playoff run.
Ebel, who assisted the CHS program for three seasons and has been involved with the Tribe off-season softball program for 15 years, conceded that he doesn't know a lot about this year's GNL rivals.
"Cheney has some good pitching and West Valley lost two senior pitchers, but they should be right there," the first-year head coach said.
Holes to fill
At this juncture, Ebel is more concerned about several holes in his own line-up.
"We have inexperience at several positions—one-third of our positions aren't filled right now. We have several girls battling for those spots," Ebel pointed out.
"We should be right there…we will be good eventually."
It's all about fundamentals…fundamentals…fundamentals…at this early point in the spring.
"We're just trying to get them to buy into the fact that you have to be repetitive with your fundamentals," Ebel emphasized.
Colville opens on March 14 at Coeur d' Alene against Idaho power Lake City (4 p.m. start).
The Indians will return home on Tuesday, March 19 for their home opener against East Valley. That single game gets started at 4 p.m.

NEW YORK (AP) - Is there an iPad mini in the works?
Apple has sent out invites to reporters for an event next Tuesday in San Jose, California.
While the company will only say "We've got a little more to show you," analysts have said for months that Apple is developing a smaller iPad.
The tablet is thought to be about half the size of the regular iPad and to start at $249 or $299.
The regular iPad starts at $499.
Reports suggest that the smaller iPad would have a screen that's 7.8 inches on the diagonal, a bit larger than the Kindle Fire or Google's Nexus.
Apple usually starts selling a new phone or iPad a week or two after announcing it. But if it sees a new iPad as a minor product update, it could start selling it right after the announcement.

Kidney and Urologic Diseases
There are many organizations who provide support for patients and medical professionals. View the full list of Kidney and Urologic Disease Organizations. (PDF, 345 KB)
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls as the heart pumps out blood, and high blood pressure, also called hypertension, is an increase in the amount of force that blood places on blood vessels as it moves through the body. Factors that can increase this force include higher blood volume due to extra fluid in the blood and blood vessels that are narrow, stiff, or clogged.
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls as the heart pumps out blood.
Blood pressure test results are written with two numbers separated by a slash. For example, a health care provider will write a blood pressure result as 120/80. A health care provider will say this blood pressure result as "120 over 80." The top number is called the systolic pressure and represents the pressure as the heart beats and pushes blood through the blood vessels. The bottom number is called the diastolic pressure and represents the pressure as blood vessels relax between heartbeats.
Most people without chronic health conditions have a normal blood pressure if it stays below 120/80. Prehypertension is a systolic pressure of 120 to 139 or a diastolic pressure of 80 to 89. High blood pressure is a systolic pressure of 140 or above or a diastolic pressure of 90 or above.1
People should talk with their health care provider about their individual blood pressure goals and how often they should have their blood pressure checked.
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Every day, the two kidneys filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid. The urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through tubes called ureters. The bladder stores urine. When the bladder empties, urine flows out of the body through a tube called the urethra, located at the bottom of the bladder. In men the urethra is long, while in women it is short.
Kidneys work at the microscopic level. The kidney is not one large filter. Each kidney is made up of about a million filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron filters a small amount of blood. The nephron includes a filter, called the glomerulus, and a tubule. The nephrons work through a two-step process. The glomerulus lets fluid and waste products pass through it; however, it prevents blood cells and large molecules, mostly proteins, from passing. The filtered fluid then passes through the tubule, which sends needed minerals back to the bloodstream and removes wastes. The final product becomes urine.
Each kidney is made up of about a million filtering units called nephrons.
High blood pressure can damage blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing their ability to work properly. When the force of blood flow is high, blood vessels stretch so blood flows more easily. Eventually, this stretching scars and weakens blood vessels throughout the body, including those in the kidneys.
If the kidneys' blood vessels are damaged, they may stop removing wastes and extra fluid from the body. Extra fluid in the blood vessels may then raise blood pressure even more, creating a dangerous cycle.
High blood pressure is the second leading cause of kidney failure in the United States after diabetes, as illustrated in Figure 1.2 In addition, the rate of kidney failure due to high blood pressure increased 7.7 percent from 2000 to 2010.3

Most people with high blood pressure do not have symptoms. In rare cases, high blood pressure can cause headaches.
Kidney disease also does not have symptoms in the early stages. A person may have swelling called edema, which happens when the kidneys cannot get rid of extra fluid and salt. Edema can occur in the legs, feet, or ankles and less often in the hands or face. Once kidney function decreases further, symptoms can include
A health care provider diagnoses high blood pressure when multiple blood pressure tests—often repeated over several visits to a health care provider's office—show that a systolic blood pressure is consistently above 140 or a diastolic blood pressure is consistently above 90. Health care providers measure blood pressure with a blood pressure cuff. People can also buy blood pressure cuffs at discount chain stores and drugstores to monitor their blood pressure at home.
Kidney disease is diagnosed with urine and blood tests.
Health care providers measure blood pressure with a blood pressure cuff.
Dipstick test for albumin. A dipstick test performed on a urine sample can detect the presence of albumin in the urine. Albumin is a protein in the blood that can pass into the urine when the kidneys are damaged. A patient collects the urine sample in a special container in a health care provider's office or a commercial facility. The office or facility tests the sample onsite or sends it to a lab for analysis. For the test, a nurse or technician places a strip of chemically treated paper, called a dipstick, into the urine. Patches on the dipstick change color when blood or protein is present in urine.
Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio. A health care provider uses the albumin and creatinine measurement to determine the ratio between the albumin and creatinine in the urine. Creatinine is a waste product in the blood that is filtered in the kidneys and excreted in the urine. A urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio above 30 mg/g may be a sign of kidney disease.
A blood test involves having blood drawn at a health care provider's office or a commercial facility and sending the sample to a lab for analysis. A health care provider may order a blood test to estimate how much blood the kidneys filter each minute, called the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The results of the test indicate the following:
Kidney disease, when found early, can be treated to prevent more serious disease and other complications. The National Kidney Foundation recommends people with high blood pressure receive the following regular screenings:
Health care providers will help determine how often people with high blood pressure should be screened.
The best way to slow or prevent kidney disease from high blood pressure is to take steps to lower blood pressure. These steps include a combination of medication and lifestyle changes, such as
No matter what the cause of the kidney disease, high blood pressure can increase damage to the kidneys. People with kidney disease should keep their blood pressure below 140/90.4
Medications that lower blood pressure can also significantly slow the progression of kidney disease. Two types of blood pressure-lowering medications, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), have been shown effective in slowing the progression of kidney disease. Many people require two or more medications to control their blood pressure. In addition to an ACE inhibitor or an ARB, a health care provider may prescribe a diuretic—a medication that helps the kidneys remove fluid from the blood. A person may also need beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and other blood pressure medications.
Following a healthy eating plan can help lower blood pressure. A health care provider may recommend the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan. DASH focuses on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other foods that are heart healthy and lower in sodium, which often comes from salt. The DASH eating plan
Read more about DASH at www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/resources/heart/hbp-dash-index.htm.
A dietitian may also recommend this type of diet for people who have already developed kidney disease. A diet low in sodium and liquid intake can help reduce edema and lower blood pressure. Reducing saturated fat and cholesterol can help control high levels of lipids, or fats, in the blood.
Health care providers may recommend that people with kidney disease eat moderate or reduced amounts of protein, though the benefits of reducing protein in a person's diet is still being researched. Proteins break down into waste products that the kidneys filter from the blood. Eating more protein than the body needs may burden the kidneys and cause kidney function to decline faster. However, protein intake that is too low may lead to malnutrition, a condition that occurs when the body does not get enough nutrients. People with kidney disease who are on a restricted protein diet should be monitored with blood tests that can show low nutrient levels.
In addition, consuming too much alcohol raises blood pressure, so people should limit alcoholic drinks—two per day for men and one per day for women.
A health care provider can help people change their diet to meet their individual needs.
Regular physical activity can lower blood pressure and reduce the chances of other health problems. A health care provider can provide information about how much and what kinds of activity are safe. Most people should try to get at least 30 to 60 minutes of activity most or all days of the week. A person can do all physical activity at once or break up activities into shorter periods of at least 10 minutes each. Moderate activities include brisk walking, dancing, bowling, riding a bike, working in a garden, and cleaning the house.
People who are overweight or obese should aim to reduce their weight by 7 to 10 percent during the first year of treatment for high blood pressure. This amount of weight loss can lower the chance of health problems related to high blood pressure. Overweight is defined as a body mass index (BMI)—a measurement of weight in relation to height—of 25 to 29. A BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese. A BMI lower than 25 is the goal for keeping blood pressure under control.5
People who smoke should quit. Smoking can damage blood vessels, raise the chance of high blood pressure, and worsen health problems related to high blood pressure. People with high blood pressure should talk with their health care provider about programs and products they can use to quit smoking.
Learning how to manage stress, relax, and cope with problems can improve emotional and physical health. Some activities that may help reduce stress include
In recent years, researchers have learned a great deal about kidney disease. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) sponsors several programs aimed at understanding kidney disease and finding treatments to stop its progression.
Clinical trials are research studies involving people. Clinical trials look at safe and effective new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease. Researchers also use clinical trials to look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses.

|Multi-Agency Cocaine Bust Yields 3 Arrests
On Thursday January 24th, 2013, members of the Boone Police Department made three felony arrests. These arrests were the result of a lengthy multi-agency drug investigation. During this investigation, Narcotics officers learned that a local man named Ramses Lopez was part of a large-scale
narcotics trafficking organization. It was also learned that the other members of this organization were from different areas in our state. Lopez is responsible for the import of narcotics into our area. Many different investigative techniques were used by law enforcement during this investigation.
Included in these techniques was the use of officers working in an undercover capacity. These undercover officers were able to infiltrate the organization and make several purchases of narcotics from targets within this distribution ring.
"This type of investigation is very dangerous and labor intensive. Because of complexity and jurisdictional issues, it takes many agencies working together to accomplish the mission. Each agency listed below brought something to the table and helped make this case a success. This case is one of the largest powder cocaine cases ever worked in this area and I am proud of each officer that spent the long hours it took to shut this drug ring down. Our citizens are safer as a result of this investigation" –Chief Dana Crawford
The agencies involved in this investigation were: Boone Police Department, Watauga County Sheriff's Office, United States Department of Homeland Security, NC State Bureau of Investigation, NC Alcohol Law Enforcement, Beech Mountain Police Department, Ashe County Sheriff's Office and Mooresville Police Department.
"The players in an organization of this scale are not unintelligent and it can be tough to gather enough information to convict them in court. We are especially thankful to the Beech Mountain Police Department for their role in this investigation, without them this case may have never happened. – Sgt Chris Hatton
The investigation was brought to a close when the listed suspects were arrested during a counter-drug operation in Boone. This particular operation resulted in the seizure of over (1) pound of powder cocaine. This amount of cocaine has a street value of approximately $20,000.
The total amount of powder cocaine seized during this investigation is approximately (2) pounds. This amount of powder cocaine has a street value of $38,500. This investigation continues and more arrests are expected.
The following persons were arrested for the following charges:
Ramses Nava Lopez Jose Ma Pineda Guzman
851 Blowing Rock Road, apt#11 247 McCoy Road
Boone, NC 28607 Apex, NC 27523
Watauga County Wake County
Sonya Orrostieta Velazquez
247 McCoy Road
Apex, NC 27523
Wake County
Each of these arrestees were charged with one count of Trafficking in Cocaine and one count of Conspiracy to Traffic in Cocaine, each were lodged in the Watauga County Jail under a $100,000 secured bond.

Dear Life: Storiesby Alice Munro
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A New York Times Notable Book
A Washington Post Notable Work of Fiction
A Best Book of the Year: The Atlantic, NPR, Vogue, AV Club
A brilliant new collection of stories from one of the most acclaimed and beloved writers of our time.
Alice Munro's peerless ability to give us the essence of a life in often brief but always spacious and timeless stories is once again everywhere apparent in this brilliant new collection. In story after story, she illumines the moment a life is forever altered by a chance encounter or an action not taken, or by a simple twist of fate that turns a person out of his or her accustomed path and into a new way of being or thinking. A poet, finding herself in alien territory at her first literary party, is rescued by a seasoned newspaper columnist, and is soon hurtling across the continent, young child in tow, toward a hoped-for but completely unplanned meeting. A young soldier, returning to his fiancée from the Second World War, steps off the train before his stop and onto the farm of another woman, beginning a life on the move. A wealthy young woman having an affair with the married lawyer hired by her father to handle his estate comes up with a surprising way to deal with the blackmailer who finds them out.
While most of these stories take place in Munro's home territory — the small Canadian towns around Lake Huron — the characters sometimes venture to the cities, and the book ends with four pieces set in the area where she grew up, and in the time of her own childhood: stories "autobiographical in feeling, though not, sometimes, entirely so in fact." A girl who can't sleep imagines night after wakeful night that she kills her beloved younger sister. A mother snatches up her child and runs for dear life when a crazy woman comes into her yard.
Suffused with Munro's clarity of vision and her unparalleled gift for storytelling, these tales about departures and beginnings, accidents and dangers, and outgoings and homecomings both imagined and real, paint a radiant, indelible portrait of how strange, perilous, and extraordinary ordinary life can be.
"It's no surprise that every story in the latest collection by Canada's Munro is rewarding and that the best are stunning. They leave the reader wondering how the writer manages to invoke the deepest, most difficult truths of human existence in the most plainspoken language....The author knows what matters, and the stories pay attention to it." Kirkus, starred review
"Unreserved praise for the continued wonderment provided by arguably the best short-story writer in English today....On whatever level of reader familiarity Munro is working, in every story she finds new ways to make the lives of ordinary people compelling." Booklist, starred review
"With her penetrating new collection, Alice Munro demonstrates once again why she deserves her reputation as a master of short fiction....'This is not a story, only life,' declares the protagonist of the title narrative. With the subtlety and complexity of Munro's writing, it's hard to tell the difference." Pamela Newtown, O Magazine
"One of the great short story writers not just of our time but of any time." The New York Times Books Review
"Wise and unforgettable. Dear Life is a wondrous gift; a reminder of why Munro's work endures." The Boston Globe
"Unquestionable evidence of her unfaded abilities....Reading these stories will tell you something about Alice Munro's life, but it will tell you more about Alice Munro's mind — and, not entirely surprisingly, this proves to be even more compelling." The New Republic
"Alice Munro is not only revered, she is cherished....Dear Life is as rich and astonishing as anything she has done before." The New York Review of Books
"There is no writer quite as good at illustrating the foibles of love, the confusions and frustrations of life or the inner cruelty and treachery that can be revealed in the slightest gestures and changes of tone....The stories of Dear Life violate a host of creative writing rules, but they establish yet again Munro's psychological acuity, clear-eyed acceptance of frailties and mastery of the short story form." The Washington Post
"Exquisite....No other author can tell quite so much with quite so little. The modest surfaces of Munro's lapidary sentences conceal rich veins of ore." Chicago Tribune
"Munro's wonderfully frank and compassionate stories suggest that perseverance, the determination to keep at the work of living, can invest a life with dignity through the end of one's days." San Francisco Chronicle
"Absorbing....Most haunting of all are the four autobiographical sketches that end the book, which display Munro's gift of observation and ability to trace big emotional arcs in short brushstrokes." Entertainment Weekly
"Alice Munro has long been acknowledged as one of Canada's literary treasures. This new volume, with its historical slant, its autobiographical material, its impressionistic descriptions of scenery, its occasional nostalgia and pleasing irony, confirms her reputation." The Washington Times
"How does Munro manage such great effects on a relatively small canvas? It's a question that most anyone who has seriously attempted to write a short story in the last 20 years has pondered....Munro has a genius, no empty word here, for selecting details that keep unfolding in the reader's mind." Los Angeles Times
"Reading Alice Munro is like drinking water — one hardly notices the words, only the marvel at being quenched....Behind each sentence is a world, conjured more distinctly than in many an entire novel." The Plain Dealer

CARTHAGE The board of commissioners of the Carthage-Wilna Fire District has proposed a $598,049 budget for 2014 that reflects a 3.1 percent increase over last years $580,039.
The district will need $541,000 raised through taxes, resulting in a tax rate of $2.25 per $1,000 of assessed property value for residents in the fire district. Last year, the tax levy was $527,670, with a tax rate of $2.44 per $1,000.
The district saw a 1.5 percent growth in its tax base.
The commissioners set a budget hearing for 4:30 p.m. Oct. 15 at the fire station, 685 S. James St.
Everything goes up retirement, health insurance and we are looking at repairs for the truck, board Chairman Jon W. Storms said at the most recent meeting. He noted the budget funds for employee benefits were down because of a reduction in full-time employees. The department now has only two full-time drivers, supplemented by several part-timers who fill in on weekends.
The equipment line item was increased by 19.62 percent in part to outfitting new members with turnout gear.
Also, we have two big repairs that have to be done next year that have to be capitalized under equipment, Treasurer Linda R. Prashaw said.The ladder truck needs new radiator, over $8,000, and the older KME needs a new door, over $1,000.
After taking delivery of a new engine from KME, Nesquehoning, Pa., the district sold a 1988 FMC to the Yuba Fire Department in Hendrix, Okla., for about $9,850. The district will have to pay a 10 percent fee to Firetec, the company that facilitated the sale.
Chief Sean P. McHale reported during the Sept. 25 meeting that a water rescue policy has been enacted with the West Carthage Fire Department. It establishes that when a call is activated for a water rescue, both departments will be called out with staging set up on both sides of the river. Command will be established with the department that is first on the scene.
The Carthage Fire Department is seeking to establish a firematics drill team, with Cole Pacella heading the endeavor. As it is recognized as a training resource, the department will cover any insurance costs beyond what the district pays.
Mr. Storms said he felt the audit by the state comptrollers office was terrific. He said Ms. Prashaw does an excellent job ... to see that approval is unheard of.
However, the auditors found fault with the payment of several bills before approval by the board of commissioners, including those for equipment rental, training, physical examinations, trash removal, health insurance and a credit card.
It was determined this finding was through a misinterpretation of minutes from the organizational meeting, and only the health insurance and credit card bills actually were paid before approval.
The district treasurer arranged with the credit card company to change the payment due date to coincide with board meetings. Since health insurance is an annual contract, paid monthly, the board decided to continue to pay that bill before the monthly meeting, because any change could result in cancellation or reassignment with higher premiums.
In other business, the board approved new members Matt Draper and Tyler Wilson joining the departments probationary process and approved the purchase of reconditioned spreaders from Jerome Fire Equipment Co., Clay, for a total cost of up to $4,500.

Three people are facing drug charges after they allegedly were found with 106 bags of heroin and about 3 grams of unpackaged heroin Tuesday morning in a North Rutland Street apartment.
Arrested at the residence were Mia E. LaMarche, 32, of 135 N. Rutland St., Apt. No. 2, on one count of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance; Pierre L. Buggs, 29, Brooklyn, on two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, and Stephen J. Gilligan, age unavailable, Watertown, on seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
The heroin was valued at about $3,000, said Chris L. Cuppernell, supervisor of the Metro-Jeff Drug Task Force.
The arrests were a result of an investigation that took place over the last several weeks. The three are considered street-level drug dealers. The task force has been busy with heroin busts, with about one-fifth of its current cases involving the drug
Heroin use has been on the rise because its price is going down, Mr. Cuppernell said, adding that it has dropped by about half in recent years.
Its making a comeback, as sad as it is, he said. It used to be other drugs looked down upon heroin users.
As in other recent heroin busts, the dealers have a New York City connection and come up to the north country to make a big sell, he said.
Ms. Lamarche and Mr. Buggs were arraigned in Watertown City Court. He was sent to the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building on no bail and ordered to return to court Sept. 26, while she was jailed on $20,000 bail and is to be back in court Monday. Mr. Gilligan was released with an appearance ticket for City Court.
