Many Carbon County residents are becoming concerned about contracting the West Nile virus.
Due to the mounting concerns, Southeastern Utah Health District recently responded with the following information regarding the virus.
To date in 2002, the West Nile virus has been detected as far west as Wyoming and Colorado.
The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that, from 1999 through 2001, there were 149 cases of the West Nile virus human illness in the country.
The cases confirmed by the federal health agency resulted in 18 deaths.
From January to Aug. 21, 2002, there have been 269 human cases confirmed. Eight deaths have been reported in Louisiana, one death in Illinois, one death in Kentucky, one death in Texas and two deaths in Mississippi.
The virus is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito, according to local health officials. It can infect people, horses, many types of birds and some other animals.
The virus is not, however, transmitted from person to person.
In addition, there is no evidence to indicate that an individual can get the virus from handling live or dead infected birds or horses.
The majority of the individuals who become infected with the West Nile virus will actually have no symptoms.
Some infected patients will, however develop mild symptoms that include fever, headache, body aches, skin rash and swollen lymph glands.
Less than 1 percent of the infected individuals will suffer from a severe and sometimes fatal illness known as West Nile encephalitis - an inflammation of the brain.
Carbon County residents can effectively reduce the chances of becoming ill from the virus and other mosquito transmitted diseases by exercising caution, indicated the health district. The risks can decreased by people protecting themselves from mosquito bites.
The local public health department recommends limiting the places available for mosquitoes to lay eggs, eliminating standing water sources from around the home and applying insect repellent when venturing outdoors.
Wearing long sleeves and long pants treated with repellant will further reduce the risk of becoming infected along with staying indoors during peak mosquito feeding hours - from dusk until dawn.
The U.S. States Department of Agriculture has confirmed through the National Veterinary Services Laboratories that, from Jan. 1 to Aug. 19, 2002, there were 644 cases of West Nile virus reported in horses in 23 states.
There is a vaccine available for horses which helps to protect the animals from contacting the disease. The vaccine requires administering two shots three to six weeks apart.
For more information about the vaccine, Carbon County residents with horses should contact a local veterinarian.
As public concern continues to spread across the nation about West Nile virus, Carbon County residents may receive additional information by contacting Terrie Wright at the health department office in Price at 637-3671.

"… in Your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being."
—Psalm 139:16
Young Cameron Vaux's mind is slipping. Memories of his wife, killed two years earlier in a car accident, are vanishing just as his dad predicted they would. Memories he knows he has to remember.
His father tells Cameron that to save his mind he must find "the book with all days in it" —the past and future record of every soul on earth.
When an obscure clue leads Cameron to a small central Oregon town, he meets enigmatic Taylor Stone, a possible guide to finding the book who seems to carry secrets far deeper than anyone imagines. Local hotshot TV personality Ann Bannister thinks the legend of the book is a farce, but she has her reasons to join Cameron's search anyway. Finally, there is fanatical New Age guru Jason Judah, who will stop at nothing to find the book of days before Cameron does.

Memento Mori – Postmortem Photography
Meghan Jordan is a fourth year fine art photography major at RIT currently interning with our Department of Photographs. In the future she hopes to pursue a Master's degree in the area of photographic history to further educate people of the medium's importance.
Unidentified Photographer. [Woman sitting in high-backed chair, holding deceased child] ca. 1860. Daguerreotype with applied color.
Since beginning my internship in the Department of Photographs five months ago, multiple people have asked me what I have been working on. The majority of the time, my response of "a postmortem collection" has ignited looks of bewilderment and disgust. Even after an explanation, friends and family are still confused as to why one would spend their time with such a collection.
From its birth, photography has been used to preserve moments in one's life, so why not death as well? In the late nineteenth to early twentieth century, it would not be uncommon to find a postmortem photograph on a mantel or in a family album. So why today are people so uncomfortable with such an idea?
Perhaps an association between death and gore in the media casts a negative light on postmortem imagery. Television, movies, and news often show bloody corpses and gruesome deaths; but memorial photographs are quite the opposite. In 2010, the George Eastman House acquired the Walter Johnson Collection – one of the largest of such collections in North America, containing over 1,000 postmortem and memorial objects. The photographs are not morbid or grotesque; they are beautiful, emotional images that commemorate the life of the lost.
Unidentified Photographer. [Young woman holding a deceased infant] ca. 1850. Daguerreotype.
In viewing the collection, one can see that along with society's attitude, memorial photography has evolved throughout the centuries. Early memorial photography depicted the deceased subject in their homes or in the photographer's studios. Studio owners of the mid-19th century openly advertised and discussed their practice of memorial photography. The well-known firm of Southworth & Hawes of Boston often published advertisements and descriptions of their techniques in professional trade journals, "The way I did it was just to have them dressed and laid on the sofa. Just lay them down as if they were asleep. […] Then place your camera and take your pictures just as they would look in life, as if standing before you." (1873, Josiah Southworth)
Unidentified Photographer, REMEMBER ME. ca. 1890. Gelatin or collodion printing out paper print.
Lee McDowell (American, Active 1883 – 1897) AUNT ELLA MAE (HUNTLEY) KEETON. ca. 1895. Gelatin silver print.
After the 1880s, trade journals rarely published articles on the matter, photographers ceased advertising their services, and memorial photographers turned to re-photographing photographs of the deceased often surrounded by personal possessions and flowers, some conveying a symbolic meaning. As cameras became more accessible to the general population, families of the deceased often preferred to take these photos themselves, allowing greater control over who could see the resulting images.
Hughes Studio (American, active ca. 1940 – 1960) [Funeral floral arrangements and open casket.] ca. 1945. Gelatin silver print.
Currently, the openness and visibility of postmortem photography has largely decreased. However, organizations assisting with the mourning process, such as Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, and contemporary artists such as Andres Serrano continue to make and circulate these photographs as both therapy and art.

'Flying down the trail, weaving in and out of the trees'
OAKRIDGE, Ore. - The Larison Rock trail plummets 4 1/2 miles down a forested ridgeline above town, depositing riders just a short spin from town.
To get a taste of what mountain bikers mean by "technical" and "singletrack," KVAL News tagged along with Randy Dreiling from Oregon Adventures this fall.
Oakridge prides itself on being the "Mountain Bike Capital of the Northwest" - and nobody argues when visiting media slip up and call the town the "Mountain Bike Capital of the World."
"It's becoming one of the fastest growing destination spots in Oregon," Dreiling said. "Actually, I should say in the United States."
Nestled in the Cascade foothills between Eugene and Willamette Pass, Oakridge hosts Mountain Bike Oregon twice per summer, one the premeire, non-racing mountain biking events in the United States. Racers find their way here, too, for events like the Cascade Creampuff, a 100-mile off-road mountain bike race; and the Fat 55 race. The town bussed in children from Eugene to take part in a free take a kid mountain biking day earlier this fall.
"We have almost 500 miles of trails here," Dreiling said. "There's a lot of good places to ride."
Dreiling said that vast inventory of trails trends toward the intermediate and advanced category, drawing an international crowd of mountain bikers. More beginner-oriented trails are on the drawing board.
He said Canadians looking for something more fluid and flowy than the stunts and jumps of British Columbia's famed North Shore make Oakridge a "must ride" destination.
"They come here because we have so many different trails," Dreiling said. "You're just flying down the trail, weaving in and out of the trees.
"You can't explain it," he added. "You just got to see it, you got to be a part of it."
That is where the "Extreme Katie" project comes in. KVAL News reporter Katie Boer challenged herself to try - and report on - the adventures available to Northwest residents in their own backyard.
Dreiling advises people new to mountain biking to choose a beginner trail and rent a quality bike. The risk for injury posed by a trail beyond one's ability level aboard a bike designed to look like a mountain bike but not perform off-road is too great.
Catrina Davis at Willamette Mountain Mercantile set Boer up with an Ibis Mojo HD - meaning "heavy duty."
"This bike retails for about $5,000," Davis said. "It is all carbon, so it is a very light. It's pretty much the Porsche of the bike world."
Before hitting the trail, Davis set up the front and rear shocks for Boer and encouraged her to use the adjustible-height seatpost to lower the bike seat for better control going downhill.
"If you feel uncomfortable, don't be afraid to get off your bike," Davis said. "It's better to get off your bike than it is to break something and then have to be carried off."

Current-day Las Vegas may ooze glitz, glamour, and gambling, but nothing compares to the extravagance of the city's famous Elvis Presley era, when the King of Rock 'n' Roll and his flashy costumes ruled the stage and ushered in a period of indulgence. Over a dazzling seven-year run from 1969 to 1976, Elvis lured droves of fans-men and women eager for a glimpse of the Memphis Flash-and performed sold-out shows at the International Hotel (now the Las Vegas Hotel & Casino). Though his legacy lives on forever in his music, we certainly can't forget about his spectacularly flashy style. Elvis, a sartorial risk-taker even by today's standards, outfitted himself in a parade of ornate accessories, exuberantly printed button-downs, and jackets with exaggerated lapels. The singer was notoriously particular about his onstage ensembles; one of his most iconic (and often imitated) looks was a spangled white jumpsuit with a high collar, oversized belt buckle, and flared pants. Everything about his style, from the studs and precious stones to the sequins festooned on every piece of clothing, was done in excess-a concept we can certainly support. Here at Who What Wear headquarters, Elvis has not left the building!
Thankfully, several designers seem to agree with our sentiment! In their S/S 12 collections, Versace's Donatella Versace and Balmain's Olivier Rousteing paid homage to Elvis' lavish years in Sin City. Though we spotted nary a jumpsuit in sight, both labels adapted Elvis' style for the modern-day fashionphile. Balmain's runway look, a white button-down tucked into loose pants, may feature a relaxed silhouette, but the outfit brims with telltale signs of Elvis-inspired glitz. We're certain the King would have given his stamp of approval to the shirt's rhinestone-embellished collar and placket, the Gold Plated Brass Leather Belt ($3229), and the heavy gold cuff bracelets! Similarly, Versace's White Bra ($625, 888.721.7219), White Studded Jacket ($7925, 888.721.7219), and White Studded Shorts ($355, 888.721.7219) exude the spirit of rock 'n' roll with over-the-top details. Intricate gold patterns emblazoned against buttery white leather mimic Elvis' signature look to a tee, albeit in a way that's fitting for a contemporary girl.
If after perusing today's Currently Channeling story, you can't help falling in love with Elvis in his Vegas heyday, you're in luck because we scouted several embellished pieces and showy accessories that capture his more-is-more aesthetic. In our humble opinion, these picks celebrate his style better than any impersonator's ensemble and won't make you look costume-y in the slightest. And even if you don't hail the King of Rock 'n' Roll, we're certain you'll find something to add to your must-have list. But enough: a little less conversation, and a lot more fashion, please!
Stolen Girlfriends Club Petrol Gothic Western Blouse ($396)
Western-inspired tops don't often find their way into our closets, but this Stolen Girlfriends Club button-down lends a cool-girl twist to the Old West. Featuring a symmetrical abstract print against rich blue silk, the blouse pays tribute to Elvis' role in Western films like Love Me Tender and Flaming Star.
MiH Marrakesh Aviator Jeans ($209) in Ecru
These stretchy jeans are a tad more wearable (and probably a lot more comfortable) than a jumpsuit, but the eggshell-white hue and flared silhouette are a total reference to Elvis! The pants score bonus points for having a flattering silhouette that skims over hips and lengthens legs.
Murray's Hair Dressing Pomade ($3)
Aside from his snazzy attire, the King was also known for his glorious head of hair. Those shiny locks! That bouncy volume! Every strand seemed to stay put even when he was gyrating onstage. We love this pomade for slicking back stray hairs a la Elvis (and leaving us free to do the jailhouse rock all night long).
Oliver Peoples Rayford Sunglasses ($450, available at the end of January)
Oliver Peoples is clearly hip to the recent retro revival. These aviator sunglasses have an on-trend '70s vibe, thanks to gold metal frames trimmed in white and tinted amber lenses. Elvis himself was fond of flashy, oversized sunnies, particularly a gold thick-rimmed pair he wore just about everywhere.
Elizabeth and James Stela Heels ($375, available at the end of February) in Cream Croco
Whether you're aiming for an Elvis-inspired getup or just seeking a hot new pair of kicks, these pointy-toe heels will serve you well. With a unique slip-on shape in croco-embossed cream, the shoes stand out against a sea of basic black pumps-just how the King would've liked it!
MICHAEL Michael Kors Sequined Dress ($175) in Amber
Simply put, you can't channel Elvis without wearing something bedazzled, and this allover sequined piece fits the bill. Worn on its own in warm weather or paired with a cropped leather jacket and tights in chilly temps, the dress screams "Viva Las Vegas!" and serves as a year-round party-perfect number.
Topshop Red Palm Print One Piece Swimsuit ($64) in Red
If this floral one-piece doesn't put you in tropical vacation mode, nothing will! Every element, from the sweet bow detail and flirty keyhole at the front, evokes a vintage feel. Just watch out for those hound dogs.
Mango TOUCH Chain Leather Belt ($55)
Add some bling to your waistline with this knockout accessory. Jazzed up with gold chains and a shiny metallic buckle, this narrow belt is perfect for hoisting up jeans or cinching in dresses. If Elvis was around today, he would have appreciated its conspicuousness, but you can also temper its glitz factor with plain, somber-colored separates.
ASOS Stitch and Star Across Body Bag ($50) in White
Our favorite thing about cross-body purses? They conveniently free up your hands for dancing! Embroidered with a charming star motif, this little white rendition comes with an adjustable shoulder strap and totes around all your essentials (pomade included).
DANNIJO for Charm & Chain Galapagos Necklace ($995)
The multicolored stones dripping off this gold statement necklace make a fantastic display against a plain t-shirt or, for a true-to-form Elvis-approved look, over a collared shirt. The stunning bauble costs a pretty penny, but in the words of the King, it's now or never, right?
Rebekah Price Rings ($120-$150, 888.744.2320) in Star and Pyramid, sold separately
Though Elvis often flaunted giant rings (he was even buried wearing his signature diamond logo ring), we think these unique accessories offer the perfect mix of subtlety and opulence. Tarnished-looking silver and brass metal allows the studded Swarovski crystals to glitter in the light for eye-catching flair.-Tiffany Tse

Let's see.....was it Jesus who said, "study scripture and commit it to memory and quote it often in order to be saved"???????? Nah, don't think so, but scripturally speaking, the times Jesus made a reference to the Torah and quoted scripture was when He was speaking to the religious and it meant something to them. Otherwise, He just had conversations with people.

Avalos's essay supports something I've thought for years: Studying the bible looks way too much like school work to have mass appeal. Moreover, wasting time on the bible during your educable years just doesn't help you to become more employable or more desirable as a potential mate.
A display of biblical literacy might have signaled status during a few times in Christianity's past, when many of the most capable people wound up working for the church because they had few career options which exercised their abilities. How many of these high quality people in developed countries would want to enter the clergy these days?

I have been reading Kael Van Der Toorn's Scribal Culture and the Making of the Hebrew Bible (Harvard University Press, 2007).
Van Der Toorn makes it clear from Israel's neighbors (the Babylonians, Egyptians and Syrians = Ugarit) that only elite scholars and priest associated with the Royal Court or the Temple were literate. Likewise, Israelites were highly illiterate as only the Royal Court and it's other half, the religious cult of the Temple, shaped the world view of the Jewish people.
Based on Van Der Toorn's study, the historical Jesus would be illiterate himself as were his apostles (who left us nothing except the questionable Epistle of 1 Peter as Peter (himself a Jesus favorite) with first hand knowledge of Jesus' life, but who was so illiterate he could not even write a Gospel!!)
To claim that Jesus was born with divine Torah knowledge simply begs the question further just as Jesus was an exceptional boy from a poor family who finds a way to be educated in the scribal arts of the Temple is totally wishful thinking and has not one single supportive text in the Gospels!
Hector's essay made me reconsider Van Der Toorn's book in that the fact of Biblical illiteracy was just as much a reality for Jesus as it is today.
The Jesus presented in the Gospels appears as an illiterate man who chooses illiterate apostles and both seem to have little to no knowledge of the complete Tanakh. (The Jesus who read from the Prophets in the Synagogue is a literate creation of the early Church and the Christians who created the Gospels some 30 to 60 years later and made a Jewish Jesus debate Judaism.)
Whether one considers Hector's facts in the present or Van Der Toorn's facts in the ancient past, we can be sure the Tanakh illiteracy of Jesus was no different than the very apostles he got to follow him or, as the saying goes: "Birds of a feather, flock together."
It is little wonder why the Temple literate the Scribes, the Sadducees and the Pharisees rejected this illiterate Jesus and his equals (called apostles).

MMM, do you not see how referencing scripture as an argument against the preeminence of scripture reference is circular and self-defeating?

I think it's worth noting too that essentially all Christians, at least in the United States, are biblically illiterate in practice, just as they are atheists in practice even if they assert otherwise. Only a tiny minority of any group of believers will have significant knowledge of the Bible and what it actually says; most "biblical knowledge" will consist of a few verses, out of context, and learned or remembered only to support a particular already held point of view. Few Christians really believe key biblical doctrines to the point where they actually govern their lives by them. Where are the Christians who actually believe their loved ones are going to an eternal fiery hell? Why aren't they in a frenzy to save them from that fate?

Some people complain about fads for bad literature like the Twilight novels. But at least the market produced these novels in response to a genuine demand. By contrast, christian organizations have destroyed entire forests to publish mountains of useless and unwanted bibles, including translations into obscure languages, which they can't even give away. Talk about a waste of natural resources!

That was an odd statement you made?....Why would Jesus be telling people to study scripture when no bible or gospel was written yet?....also, if Jesus was referring to the Torah when He said this, then He should take His own advise since He taught contrary doctrines to the Torah and oppossed alot of the old testament!
The bible we have today is a copy of copies!
No original documents exist. It has been translated and revised over and over again.
For centuries only the Catholic priests had access to the scriptures and were allowed to read from them. Many scholars suspect that during that time priests added, extracted, and changed scripture to fit their own ends....
So how can anyone possible know what Jesus really ever did or said?

Hi Chuck --- you said, "MMM, do you not see how referencing scripture as an argument against the preeminence of scripture reference is circular and self-defeating?"
I use scripture to ppl to whom used it is relative to use it with. Scripture affirms what I have experienced to be true of God and I find it inspirational, but also I divide the word between what is of Jesus and what is of human nature projected upon God.

Hi Shane - I'm not sure if you're the same Shane I've enjoyed talking with before, but nonetheless, I love your profile picture!
you said this, "Why would Jesus be telling people to study scripture when no bible or gospel was written yet?...." Exactly my point! He didn't tell ppl to do that--but He did use quotes from the Torah to address those who had more of a relationship with the Law than a hope for Messiah....
Then you said, "also, if Jesus was referring to the Torah when He said this, then He should take His own advise since He taught contrary doctrines to the Torah and oppossed alot of the old testament!"
Yes, we agree. There are several scripture whereby Jesus makes a reference to sorting through the Torah -- one is where He speaks about Moses allowing divorce because of the influence of his surrounding community (not divinely inspired) -- also there are other scriptures as well. But, in my everyday life, Jesus is working to help me sort out what is of divine inspiration and what is from human nature.
Then you said, "So how can anyone possible know what Jesus really ever did or said?"
There is a way to know because how Jesus saves ppl is by revealing His love for us through the Holy Spirit. Evne though Jesus spoke some harsh words to some pretty villainous ppl, it was to relate to them in a way to grab them away from perishing because He loves them -- ppl you and I might be intimidated by.
At any rate, take care,

Hi again, Chuck --- my commenting got sloppy here --- "I use scripture to ppl to whom used it is relative to use it with"
What I intend to say is this -- I use scripture because it is how most ppl relate to God and it means something (whether good or bad) to them. I find in real everyday life, that faith is best expressed in acts of love, but here, the act of love is sharing what I know of this good man, Jesus. I love Him and because I do, I respect that He loves you as well and all the others here too.
At any rate, that is all.

Yes its the same shane, I moved so it took me awhile to get my internet up.
Thanks in regards to my profile pic...!
You said "Jesus said, study scripture and commit it to memory and quote it often in order to be saved"?????????
What im getting at here is that Jesus must have been refering to the Torah since thats really all the Jews had at that time, they definitely did not have the gospel.
But as you have said yourself, Jesus makes many references where He disagree's with some of the Torah and gives new commandments instead........I find this fact contradictory!
Also, the last part of what you said "quote it often in order to be saved"????
Since we agree that Jesus was refering to the Torah when He said this, then that would mean Jesus was suggesting that salvation could be found within the knowledge of the Torah?
Yet according to the gospels, salvation only comes through the knowledge and belief of christs sacrifice and putting faith in Him????.
I see a major contradiction here!

Shane, I apologize! I was being tongue-in-cheek when I wrote this, "was it Jesus who said, "study scripture and commit it to memory and quote it often in order to be saved"???????? Nah, don't think so,"
I was trying to make a point to that Jesus did NOT say to rely solely on scripture for salvation. But to hear some ppl speak, it seems as though religious scriptures are the only way towards being set free from perishing.

Hi MMM:
Since the only life Jesus now has is in the figurative "Heart" of each believer; Jesus must take on the personality of that person to live since, apart from the confusion of the many and late Jesus characterizations in the Gospels, the figure we have of any historical Jesus today is nothing short of a black outline on the pages of a coloring book where the believer (you) supplies the different colors to create a Jesus colored as to how each believer sees life and the world.
Thus, for every example you can give me coloring your Jesus based on love and forgiveness, I can use the same Gospels to color a Jesus based on hate and violence; and a preacher of Hell (a word study proves that Jesus spoke on Hell more than anyone else in the N.T.).
Fact is, the wonderfully colored Jesus You (MMM) leaves us here at DC tells me more about the optimistic and positively colored world of your life than about the jigsaw puzzle of a Jesus assembled 30 - 60 years after the fact by Gospels writers and believes who now saw (and needed) a composite Jesus of their own to justify their new found system of faith.
So, MMM, both your Jesus of love and forgiveness and the corner street preacher who preachers Hell Fire and Damnation on any one who does not believe like him are pictures in the same coloring book of faith.
End the end, MMM, you have left us a part of yourself here in your comments provong that you can reconstructed a Jesus colored in postive bright colors.

I wrote a response yesterday - didn't show up so I'll try again.
Anyway, thanks for the kind perspective Harry. But in fact, I have in the past been subjugated by cruelty and acted in cruel harsh ways. Although I didn't believe in God, in essence, the ppl who had indoctrinated me into cruel behavior had become my gods.
At any rate, I understand what you mean when you talk about some of the things Jesus speaks so harshly about. Some are prophetic words, to contrast the difference between the way ppl mistreat one another and others are the words used to speak to the most jaded and morally conceited people. People that we might be tempted to marginalize or actually idolize.
I won't go into detail about my personal experiences and history with faith any more than what I've written previously, but I can use scripture as a reference to say that the most harsh words He speaks have brought about the most freedom from cruelty for me. He does so to speak to ppl in tones that relate to where they are emotionally/mentally/and spiritually in order to upset the status quo of their descent into depravity. He loves ppl that the OT scripture and other faith traditions would portray as demonized and are/were used to exemplify evil.
At any rate,
I wish you the best,

Thanks for clarifying what you meant, I realize though that my question actually still stands!
If Jesus said "study scripture and commit it to memory and quote it often IN ORDER TO BE SAVED????
Then Jesus must have been refering to the Torah or Pentateuch because none of His words were scripture yet at that time, and no gospels were written!
So if Jesus stated that knowing the Torah or Pentateuch was something we should memorize in order to be saved, then he was implying that salvation can come from those books!
This concept contradicts the christian theology that salvation only comes through believing in Jesus sacrifice, and resurrection, because neither the Torah or Pentateuch give any of that information!
Do you not see the contrary issue here?

Shane, you said, "This concept contradicts the christian theology that salvation only comes through believing in Jesus sacrifice, and resurrection, because neither the Torah or Pentateuch give any of that information!
Do you not see the contrary issue here?"
Yes, I do see the contrary issue here -- that was my whole point. Because some ppl act as though scripture IS God and some ppl act as though Jesus did say that when He did not say that was the way to salvation. Jesus never said to study scripture and quote it often - He never said that.
He said to be born of the spirit in order to be saved.
If I misunderstood your question, or didn't make what I was saying clear, please let me know.

Ok, maybe I misunderstood you....? I was under the impression that you were quoting one of Jesus sayings in order to make a point, in which I seen a contradiction?
Its been a while since I've read a bible so I thought maybe Jesus said something like that and I just didn't remember?
In any event my apologies!
- May 5, 2010 at 2:23 PM
- Manifesting Mini Me (MMM) said...
Hey, no problem, Shane! I do the very same thing myself.
And truly, bible reading isn't a prerequisite to receiving the love of God....I find that what I've experienced is affirmed there, and it does provide inspiration and thought provoking issues, but God is still very much alive and at work outside of any religious practice or religious book.

9/13 Soriano's hot streak
Who's providing the offense on the Cubs? It's 36-year-old Alfonso Soriano. He has 96 RBIs, his highest single-season total in six years with the Cubs and the most since he drove in 95 in 2006 with Washington. He hit his 29th home run on Wednesday, the most since Soriano hit 29 in 2008. The veteran outfielder is one of only three players in the National League this season to thus far reach 29 home runs and 95 RBIs, joining the Reds' Jay Bruce and the Brewers' Ryan Braun.
On the Cubs' 10-game road trip, Soriano was 10-for-39 with four home runs, a triple, a double, and 11 RBIs. He has 25 RBIs in his last 24 games, and was tied for fourth in the NL in home runs with Carlos Beltran, Jason Kubel, and Adam LaRoche.
Soriano's home run Wednesday was No. 369 of his career, and he's now tied with Ralph Kiner for 72nd on the all-time home run list.

Sex Differences in Early Brain Development; Brain Development in Turner Syndrome

- How to Read a Study Record
Relative risk for many psychiatric disorders differs dramatically in males and females. Early-onset disorders, such as autism, occur more often in males; other conditions, such as schizophrenia, occur at similar rates in males and females, but the sexes differ in expression. It has been hypothesized that the prevalence and expression of these disorders is related to sex differences in brain development. X-chromosome effects and early exposure to gonadal hormones are strong candidates for a causal role. The aims of the research are (1) to characterize sex differences in brain development from birth to age 2; (2) to test whether brain development is altered in infants with Turner syndrome, a well-defined genetic disorder resulting from the partial or complete loss of one of the sex chromosomes. To address aim 1, high resolution MRI, including diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), will be used to characterize sex differences in brain development from birth to age 2 in a longitudinal cohort of 250 children. To address aim 2, high resolution MRI, including DTI, will be used to compare brain development in 70 infants with Turner syndrome (X monosomy) to matched controls from aim 1. The investigators hypothesize that sex differences in gray and white matter development and in white matter maturation as assessed by DTI will be present during the first 2 years of life and that children with TS will exhibit abnormal gray and white matter development in the neonatal period.

Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Oh Randy Wells.
You can't do this any more, brother...
Gordon Whittenmyer tweeted, "Wells takes a no-hitter into fourth inning of what could be his last start. Dempster (quad) back Thurs."
And then the next tweet says, "...Never mind."
What happened?
Wells was sailing along, and then suddenly in the 4th he gave up a double to Hunter Pence, a walk to Thome, a groundout, a stolen base, a walk to Nix, a single to Ruiz, a pop out, a walk to pitcher Joe Blanton, and then a double to Jimmy Rollins.
Two doubles, a single, and 4 runs - all in one inning.
Oh, and 3 walks.
Made me think of the Ministry of Silly Walks by Monty Python.
I am unclear on how to post a video here, but if you're too young to remember just google it.
Anyway, Cubs lose 2-5 to the Philadelphia Phillies.
If Wells does indeed go back to Iowa, hopefully he can work on those silly walks.
Get that fixed, it'll be good for the Cubs whether he remains one or not.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Here Wego, Tim...(the budweiser dog delivers again):
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Campana lead off single in 3rd, gets to 2nd on bad pick off throw.
The legend grows...
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
And he scores on a close play, good throw by Pence, slides btwn catchers legs
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Mather hits first HR from Cub outfielder this season
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Koyie Hill, who was released by the Cardinals earlier this year, has signed a minor league deal with the Reds. My God, how fast will Aroldis Chapman's fastball be when Koyie is catching him?
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Campana a with an infield single past the mound, en Fuego. and a stolen base on a pitch out. Scores on a fielders choice off Castro's bat.
Did I mention the legend is growing?
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Campana steals 2b easily despite a pitch out after reaching on an infield single and scores on an infield single when Galvis goes home for no reason.
Cubs hold on it'll be 5 of 8
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
5-0 on a LaHair double (3-4 today) and a Baker single, would have had another run but Castro was out trying to steal second. Nice to see the base running stay aggressive.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Garza out after 7. Dolis in.
10K, 1 hitter, 1 BB. Wow.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Marmol ugly.
Tying run at plate.
PHEW. 5-1, final.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Did you guys catch the Welly assist on the put out at 2nd via a WP?
Very impressive.
Campana at least makes it entertaining for me when he gets on base.
What a fast MF.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Edgar Gonzalez released from Iowa, possibly going to Japan
Somebody gets to move up... Will be interesting to see who.
I-Cubs postponed again at Nashville
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
he was eating a roster space, anyway, unless he was needed to be the "elder role model" for the kids.
besides, alfreda amezaga is still in iowa wasting a roster space...dito for matt tolbert, even if he can allegedly play SS (if that's what you call it).
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
brandon inge to the A's...from the team that brought you "josh donaldson playing 3rd" and other hit(less) comedies.
Great week!
A week ago, this team was one of the worst in baseball. Now, they're just one of the worst in the National League! #babybears #babysteps #winning
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
project .400 marches on.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
To me actually the interesting thing is the bullpen has blown what, 3 or 4 games? We might possibly have a winning record but for that. Most of that is Kerry Wood and Marmol too I think. James Russel, Michael Bowden, Rafael Dolis and Scott Maine are all pitching well.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Marmol needs to f*ing go. Enough of his crap.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Over the offseason, Soto and Marmol would have been two of the Cubs' best trading chips. Hard to say exactly what each might have brought, but already the decision to hold both has doubtlessly hurt the org overall, in the short term at least.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
They would have traded either if remotely possible. Especially Marmol. Both had low value (soto rough year in 2011, Marmol led league in blown saves or something). I think Theo might have avoided trading low in theory, but I feel like nobody wanted them.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
if they were shopping them they could have found takers...they probably didn't want to trade low on either given how they ended the season.
it's just looking worse now.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
I'm not sure they would've gotten much for Marmol. It was a closer heavy free agent market; why would anyone give up something of value when a superior reliever like Madson was had on a 1 year deal?
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
In my opinion the only way it makes sense to keep Garza is if the Cubs think they can make a run next year or 2014.
If so I wonder what moves could possibly make the Cubs a contender in that timeframe? Otherwise he will be past his prime when cubs are peaking. And he'll be expensive.
The other option is to trade him. NOW, or by deadline 2012 latest. If so anyone know who a likely suitor is? Might the Orioles decide they want to take their great start seriously? Do they have any trade chips? What about Detroit, Yankees, or dare I say Angels? Or the BoSox (we'd need to take some salary from them). Or maybe a mega-blockbuster with GARZA and LAHair or Starlin (hell y never know - for the right payoff?).
Gotta move Garza to make this plan work, that's all I know. He does us no good now if our real goal is a WS in 2015-2016 which is the soonest any sane person could hope to have this team ready. Theo is here for a gameplan and the fastest way to the top is to trade Garza as soon as possible for 2 or 3 serious prospects and maybe take a bad contract off someone's hands as a sweetener..
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Uh..I wouldn't take anymore bad contracts until Sori is off the books....
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
If its a two year contract that we can hide on the bench or play on our .400 winning % team - that allows a team to afford Garza without luxury tax, and we get a couple great AAA prospects back it's really not a problem. That's good use of our money.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Ok. Whatever you say. IF we get 2 great AAA prospects.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
I can dream! ;)
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
a gazillion bucks comes off the payroll next year. if they don't keep garza they'll most likely spend that money on someone just as worthy. they're already linked to cole hammels as a likely 2013 destination (sportswriter speculation).
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
I've watched the 'trade Garza' chatter all off-season. For a while I was excited about getting 2-3 of a team's best prospects, but since then I've changed my mind and decided you have to keep Garza. Here's why:
1. It's hard to get a very good pitcher on your team. You have massive leverage with Garza in that you are the only team able to negotiate with him for the rest of this year and next year. To get a FA to sign is no guarantee, even if you're willing to pay up. You've got this guy. He's good - dare I say, he's an ace, so why trade him?
2. All the prospect excitement is a little overdone. I would keep a sure thing like Garza over 3-4 lottery tickets. Let's face it, most prospects are lottery tickets in some way. Take Brett Jackson, all around good player but nobody's certain he's going to limit his strikeouts enough to be effective. Any pitching prospect faces significant injury risk. Look at who got traded for these guys:
Cliff Lee to Philly: Carlos Corrasco, Jason Donald, Lou Marson, Jason Knapp
Cliff Lee to Seattle: JC Ramirez, Phillippe Aumont, Tyson Gillies
Roy Halladay: Travis DArnaud, Kyle Drabek, Michael Taylor
CC Sabathia: Matt LaPorta, Michael Brantley, Zach Jackson, Rob Bryson
The point is these prospects are no sure thing.
3. If Garza is traded, you have to replace him. Dempster is a FA after this season, let's assume he doesn't come back. The in house options to rounding out the rotation are not encouraging. Here's your 2013 rotation without Garza or a replacement FA: Samardzija, Maholm, Volstad, R Wells, T Wood, Coleman (6th)
Minor League Possibilities: Jay Jackson, Rod Lopez, Chris Rusin, Trey McNutt, Dae Eun Rhee, Nick Struck
You need Garza and a guy like Cole Hamels to compete. Maybe you wait a year to get the #2 pitcher if you don't think 2013 will be competitive, but you don't let Garza go away and not replace him or add more to him.
4. The Cubs have the money. As crunch has said, they have lots of payroll coming off the books and will have money to spend. They don't have to blow their wad on some 30 year old with a ten year contract, but they will certainly have the money to extend Garza and do plenty more.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
But none of this addresses my argument that no matter how awesome he is now or even the next two years, he will be expensive when we need him AND past his prime. Why would we not roll the dice on 2-3 lottery picks in this situation? To me it has nothing to do with how good he is, it's how good will he be in 2015? And for how much money? He'll want multi-year of course . . . and he'll deserve it cause he's a great dude too!
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Opening Day 2015 Garza will be 31. Aren't there lots of pitchers still pitching well at age 31?
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
I guess it depends on two things:
1. What you think Cubs could get for Garza. Not a teams top three prospects. Maybe a couple top 15 and a couple throw ins. Who knows though?
2. If you think the team will go with the remaining in house/mid-bottom tier rotation options for all of 2013 and 2014. I highly doubt that they would.
I think next year the team will contend for at least a wild card.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Garza would seem to have a number of really good years left. He doesn't even turn 31 until the end of 2014. Keep him.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Watch and learn boys. Theo will deal his ass soon, and I'll touch bass with you in 5 years about how well he pitched after age 31. That's if he stays healthy.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
I don't play bass.
"If he stays healthy." Wow, really going out on a limb there with the analysis.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Slappa de bass, mon.
No slappa de BASS, mon?
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Oh do slappa!
I run a recording studio, no joke, so my most common typo is BASS in place of BASE. it's ugly!
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Huh? You joking? Health concerns are part of investing in a pitcher like Garza. I hope you are joking. Did you see the amount of elite and newly acquired pitchers who have already gone down this year on the Yankees and BoSox alone? Also that article posted on a previous thread (about the trending carppiness of 1 inning relief pitchers) which estimates 40% of starters will blow out their arms etc.
Deal high, get prospects. They are ready when we're ready. Or keep elite pitcher on shit team. Don't stock farm system. Stay shitty. Hope he stays healthy his whole career, and pay him big money on the dark side of age 30.
I'd rather slappa tha baassss
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Again.....30 for pitchers isn't old. Praying for prospects.....the Cubs Way.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Watch an learn, DB, watch and learn!
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
You can say "That's if he stays healthy" on 100 percent of players. And you can't assume he's going to be injured just because he'll be 31 or older.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Regardless it serves my point completely. If you are poor do you keep a $50,000.00 bike in your garage when you cannot afford insurance. No you cash that crap in and put it somewhere safe. Pitchers get injured and it is 100% valid to consider that in my wanting to trade him for more assets. Wider, stronger, foundation baby!
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Ask the Rays about their stronger foundation they got from the Cubs in the Garza trade.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Watch and Learn.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
The Cubs are poor?
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
You guys aren't much on simple analogies, huh? Poor in talent . . . Jesus Christ. The literal triplets.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Who let this guy in?
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Go back and look what Mike C and I were saying about Dusty Baker in 2004 (actually mike c scooped me and was onto dusty's bs from Day 1). Literally everyone said we were morons. 9 months later almost everything we said was all over this site by everyone. Trust your visionaries Jumbo. We don't come often! ;) watch and learn.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
lol wut?
also, aside from telling people exactly what jed/theo are up to and interpreting "the cubs way" for people the whole prophecy is getting a little out of hand.
i feel like some kind of ron paul scientology ufo super cult is going to break out any minute.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Actually I WISH what I am arguing for was fucking controversial and deserved this andy kaufmanesque thread. So four blind mice so far. Wo's next? It's a formidable crew: big lowitzki, dust Baylor, crunch, and jumbo pile on the superjimmer. Sounds like a very poor pro wrestling tournament. I think they would be smart to trade garza now, I think he's useless to us now and we won't be good before he is expensive and getting older. I think it would be in the cubs' FO stated mission to trade him and I'd bet they will. And I like the cubs FO, and direction. And I hope they trade him. What's the problem here?
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
it's all the shot calling with the "watch and learn" + matter-of-fact with what theocorp is doing more than your opinions or the gist what what you're trying to get through to us.
your opinion on trading garza isn't trash, though i'm hot on it at all.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Thank you officer crunch. My apologies for having fun, being a smart ass, and in general not fitting into your ideal for my behavior. I know these tendencies are frowned upon on opinion blogs.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
*gives you your ticket*
just watch your speed out there.
also, i'm a very sensitive person so thank you for the ego-building apology. the initial confrontation hurt my vibes...i have sensitive vibes.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Hehe. Whew! That was close . . .
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Rob, where is your banning stick?
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Banned for what, exactly?
What's with the witch hunting over here, Jumbo. I've been on this list since at least 2004, get off my ass.
Should I be banned for giving a crap about the cubs, passionately arguing they are doing the right thing, trying to argue my case to a few thugs who don't understand what a metaphor is, and ultimately having crunch (of all people) play cop and back off with a couple jokes. Get on with your life for f$cks sake.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Thug? I am pretty much one of the milder posters/readers of this blog...sheesh.
Opinions are awesome..but if you don't have the ear of JedStein, then don't presume to let us mere mortals all know what they're going to do. I'll watch and learn from here on out.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
ok Dusty. Enjoy life in the perfection lane. I was JOKING in some respect, and defending myself in another respect. for one if mike c is a visionary then I will move to Canada because I HATE his politics and inappropriate use of his politics here.
For another I wasn't responding to you personally, but it sure feels like three or four dudes hanging back after a concert to kick someone's ass. So yeah. Read the responses . . .
Are you frickin' kidding me - who's taking things too seriously? Does anyone here have the ear of theo and jed? do they express opinions? I am just saying I think they will do it . . . what the fuck do I know?
Quote me some shit that says I have their ear. Or are you just parroting crunch's personality attack?
If there is ANYONE on this list that is an easy attack of personality it is crunch and I try and succeed not to do so. So just chill the fuck out.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
btw as much as I wanna throw darts at crunch's picture and curse him, I do kinda understand him after several years, and in general realize if I am pissed at him it is because I am kinda like him (sorry crunch). Doesn't mean I don't temporarily hate his guts and generally 99% disagree with everything he says.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Jumbo's apparently under the impression that there is a TCR screening process and I don't understand the rules of accepted behavior for the cool kids.
What exactly is offending you Jumbo. Let's hear it?
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
This is heading into Real Neal territory.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Keep pushing it there Tito. I am just arguing a position if you re-read it all. So saying "Watch and Learn" is the new equivalent of telling Rob G/Moderator to Fuck Off? Jesus you guys are too much. I am not sure what you guys are getting out of this but have at it. I am just a passionate Cubs fan who actually likes what they are doing and thinks they should trade garza. I also tend to be extremely dry humoured in real life and perhaps that is coming accross wrong here. But the fact that two of you have veered into suggesting I get banned, when in general I don't attack personalities except vaguely, groups to get people off my ass, call the moderator an asshole, and actually first and foremost am driven by the desire to see the Cubs win? Nice.
I present opinion and can be repetitive and passionate. But you don't find me sitting in wait to rip people a new arsehole when they believe in something. I am more the person who states his case.
Feels like a lynching to me. I'll be the first one banned for saying "watch and learn".
excellent use of your energies.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
My comment was related to the implied superiority of "watch and learn" and the increasingly angry-sounding tone of your posts.
I was not suggesting you be banned. So maybe you should "watch and learn" rather than infer things that weren't said.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Yep...Cliff Lee...Roy Halladay...Tim Hudson...all sucked after age 31.
31 is generally considered the tipping point in a pitcher's career.
Wait. Oh it's not..that's right. If he was 34 is 2015, I would buy that argument. 31? C'mon.
Theo may, or may not deal Garza..we'll touch base about that then.
But the whole "past his prime" argument is silly. Theo will deal his ass...lol...sounds like when we talk about trading Soriano.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Dude seriously? I didn't say he'd suck. And again let's check in with each other in a few years. I said he'd be EXPENSIVE and PAST HIS PRIME. his best value is now. Anyway, have at it with the sarcasm, I'm just saying trade high and build a talent base. (or just be cubs fans and keep one good player. Woo woo! Baseball . . . )
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
They'll do, whatever they do. they still have to field a team until this mythical time of Shangri-la when they'll be competetive. Let Dempster go after this year, and trade Garza for a couple of prospects. Next year's rotation of Samardzija, Maholm, Volstad, Wells, and Whothafuck will be nausea inducing to say the least....bullpen shredding at worst.
Ask the Yankees how trading for young pitching works out. That's a crap shoot too.
I am for keeping Garza. But it's not like I'm going to boycott the Cubs if they trade him.
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
maybe the cubs can trade garza back for the awesome kids they traded away and by 2015 that 20 year old no-power SS might be ready while everyone else is out of baseball.
also, you have a thing about the new "cubs way" that's kinda cult-like. i dunno if they could do any wrong in your eyes even if they do something stupid.

Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.
Not really cult like. I just like what they've done - so I'm naturally supportive. I think its a mega waste to have him on this shit team. Period. It's sound thinking and totally logical to me. And they aren't going to magically be good next year when they are counting on Rizzo and the boys - who will need a couple years in MLB before kicking ass. Everyone here can slappa da bass mon, far as I care. ;) if anything I am impatient to be good and know it can't be done without stocking up more talent.
And for the record, Theo/Jed have been on record as saying they aren't and never have been shopping him. So I am not worshipping at their altar at all. But I'm not like you eey-oring ever move they make like they are town idiots.
I just see a clear path and strategy, and if you are counting on kids like Rizzo Jackson Welington and others . . . They ain't going to be ready before Garza starts needing big dough and being on the downward end of his career potential.
What possible good can Garza do us with this craptastic roster? I'm not here for entertainment after all these years. I want the straightest path to the WS...
Re: Randy Wells' Monty Python act.

pretty much this. also, a magician.
Madden brought it in some lions and sharks to Wrigley Field and let them eat people
What did I miss?
I think Strop deserves a very special mention. He had so many struggles against the Cardinals but pitched two successful and very high pressure innings the last two games against them and looked nasty doing so.
How about this, the Cubs are 10-1 over the last 3 weeks.
I was thinking about it earlier that the Cubs are 101-66 and the Cards 101-65...but, does anyone outside of the two of us ever calculate records including post season? Don't think I've seen that ever before.
With today's victory, the Cubs are just 1/2 game behind (0.5 GB) the Cardinals for the best record in MLB in 2015.
If they win the LCS and the World Series and go no worse than 8-4 in the process, the Cubs will be World Champions AND they will have the best record in MLB in 2015 (CUBS 109-70 .6089 versus STL 101-65 .6084).
Well, I can say this...Cardinals fans certainly hate the Cubs right now...about as much as Pirates fans.
Our bullpen was friggin brilliant this series...even if their ERA doesn't look good.
Not sure who I want...Kershaw/Greinke is scary, but I almost worry more about the Mets ability to score in bunches like us.
Do like the fact that if it is the Dodgers, Kershaw can't go until Game 2 and Greinke until Game 3.
I agree with you, but I hate them both. I hate Stephen Piscotty. I hate Tommy Pham. I hate Yadier Molina. I hate Kolten Wong. I hate Jon Jay. And that's just off the 2015 version of the Cardinals.
Sorry, I'm a hateful person :(
The Cardinals themselves are fine and a tough opponent, it's really just their cocky, hick fans I can't stand.
I've been waiting a long time to say this... here it goes:
LAD/NYM going a full 5 games would rock. more rest for the cubs pitchers, less rest for theirs...
kershaw on the mound, NYM lead the series 2-1.
I'll happily settle for 4 to do something the team hasn't done in 70 years...until we win 4...then I'll get greedy ;-)
8 more wins, please.
4 more wins please.

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
Whether a local resident is remodeling a home, adding a wing onto a house, building an additional structure or improving property, the actions generally require a building permit from Carbon County or Price city, depending on where the construction is taking place.
However, the requirement may confuse people. They don't understand when they need a permit and when they don't.
"My advice to people is to assume that anything they do to their property requires a permit," points out Lew Korenko of the county building and planning department. "If they come down to get a permit and what they tell us they are doing doesn't need one, then we will tell them so."
Generally projects like flat work, sidewalks and driveways as well as work like painting and wall papering do not require permits. But almost anytime plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling or wall moving is involved a permit is required.
The county uses the international residential code in all four phases of residential construction.
The job of the building department is to protect the general public from problems resulting from improper construction methods and procedures.
"People can act as their own contractor when building a home," explains Dave Levanger, director of planning. "But they still have to do things correctly. It is for their own well-being and safety. Besides, when installations of any kind are done correctly, it actually saves people time and money."
But Levanger also cautions people about working on homes and having others, such as friends, help the projects.
"If something happens and an employee of a contractor gets injured, they are covered by work-men's compensation insurance," indicates Levanger. "But if private home owners have a friend over helping them and that person has an injury, their home-owners insurance may not cover such an incident."
Carbon's building and planning department covers all the unincorporated areas of the county and conducts inspections for Wellington, Helper, Sunnyside and Scofield. Price and East Carbon City have their own departments.
Often, the county and departments are misunderstood. The staff members are not looking for things to "nail" people, point out the three building officials.
"In our profession, we don't owe anything to one individual or individual homeowner, but to the public at large," states Levanger. "It is our duty and obligation to point out the things that are improper when we do an inspection."
"We don't have as much leeway as people seem to think we do," adds Korenko. "We have to follow the shalls and dos in the code - the minimum standards. If we inspected something and let something go that shouldn't be passed we could lose our immunity, particularly if it is a danger and we don't make the call."
"When we look at installations and building construction we must follow the codes or we can lose our licenses," explains Francis Duzenack, the building official and zoning administrator for Price city.
But what the officials do is not all enforcement. Just like the police, they are often there to help.
"Our department provides many services for people," indicates Levanger. "For instance, we will do free inspections on wood stoves and electrical installations so that people can be sure they are done right. We want these things to be done the right way so no one will get hurt."
One thing that often happens is people come in and want to buy a building permit after they have already done the work.
"Instead of just beginning on a project, they need to come in or call and ask if they need a permit before they begin," advises Korenko. "People sometimes say to me, 'How should I do this?' We can't design things for people, but we can point out problems. Actually, we have never seen any kind of installation we couldn't fix after the fact. But sometimes, those fixes can be expensive and a lot of work."
All building codes are set up to meet minimum standards. In most cases, trade practices or the way licensed contractors install or build things exceeds the standards.
Some people worry that proliferation of home improvement stores has made it so many residents are completing projects, but doing the work improperly. Levanger sees it differently.
"We have seen some real improvement in the do-it-yourself stuff that people are doing to their homes in the last 10 years," comments Levanger. "Most of the home improvement centers offer advice and even classes to teach people how to install what they buy there. That has really helped."
The most concerns identified by the departments involve installation of heaters, particularly venting problems, and the use of extension cords for permanent wiring solutions.
"You wouldn't believe how many zip cords we have seen run through walls and around buildings for wiring solutions," remarks Korenko. "Those can be a real danger to everyone."
The codes followed by the inspectors are on file at the clerk's office.
In addition, many do-it-yourself books have installations that follow some codes, but not all of the guidelines may be included in the information.
Some public libraries carry copies of the actual code books, which are extremely expensive to purchase.
But regardless of where Carbon County residents may obtain the information, the inspectors look for installations that follow the codes.
"When a permit is issued, we go out and just look at the work that the permit is for," indicates Korenko. "We don't go out to find everything that we can find wrong with the entire structure. However, if we are invited to look at anything, we will make the call the way we see it."
There are a number of established guidelines the local building inspectors follow.
First is the International Building Code that is set up for all commercial buildings.
Next is the International Residential Code, which pertains to the structured plumbing and mechanical systems in a private dwelling, including one and two family detached housing and town houses of not more than three stories in height. The code also pertains to any attachments on the property such as garages and other buildings.
As far as electrical systems go, the departments follow the direction of the National Electric Code.
Building codes and what must be followed in order to comply with the established guidelines tend to change. Often, installations the inspectors see that were done in the past were within the code at the time, but would not be if they were completed today.
"People sometimes think that, when we see something old, we will want them to change it," explains Levanger. "But if it was installed when the code read that way, we don't tell people they have to change it. For instance, it used to be that when stairs were put in they only had to have rails installed when they were over four risers tall. Now it is two risers. Another area is the minimum height for a ceiling. It used to be the minimum height was seven foot, six inches. But today, it is down to seven feet."

Drop-in captured-spring recoil system helps your AR function more smoothly and quieter without any permanent modifications. The carefully balanced, custom-ground buffer spring, combined with the JP LMOS buffer, greatly reduces friction and vibration - say goodbye to the annoying "spoon over a cheese grater" noise of conventional springs and buffers. Fits buffer tubes for both M4-style collapsible stocks and also, using the included spacer, the longer tubes for fixed rifle stocks.
The Auxiliary Spring Rate Kits for the JP Silent Captured Spring allow custom tuning of the device to a given rifle. While the default spring offers the best performance for the widest range of configurations, a simple disassembly and reassembly of the JPSCS with a slightly different spring rate can yield truly optimized performance, particularly for rifles without an adjustable gas block. JPSCS-PACK15 is a pack of 5 different spring weights; and JPSCS-PACK10 is a pack of 3 different spring weights.
SPECS: Stainless steel and hard polymer. 7" OAL. Nylon spacer – 1-5⁄8" long. Instructions included. JPSCS-15 fits AR-15/M16/M4. JPSCS-10 fits AR-style .308 rifles, including DPMS LR-308, ArmaLite® AR-10®. Does not fit Rock River Arms LAR-8.

I am writing a stats script that starts out with an installation script. This script generates the necessary configuration code and writes a new php file to be included in other pages. here is my problem. I realized that in order to get my script to actually write to "config.php" I have to chmod it to 666 ( using chmod("config.php", 0666);). Now, what can I do if get this?
Warning: chmod failed: Operation not permitted in /home/battlepa/public_html/stats/install.php on line 46
Is there any other way to script write access to this file? Or am I going to have to get the user to do that first? There has to be a way around this, I just dont know of one.
Thank you for any help in advance.
PS: Ive been a Windows brat my entire life and know almost nothing of the Unix/Linux flavor of operating. Sorry if these is a bit easy

As the state Department of Environmental Conservation pushes its regions to reduce the amount of recyclable material in the waste stream, the Jefferson County Transfer Station, which handles all the countys recyclables, may play an increasingly important role in the years to come.
The station on Route 12 in Pamelia, in existence since 1990, has found a way to turn trash into treasure by selling thousands of tons of corrugated cardboard, newspaper, tin and plastic every year.
The transfer station processed 5,134.36 tons of recyclable material in 2012.
The material is purchased by companies that manufacture everything from lawn furniture to automotive gaskets to carpeting, according to County Highway Supervisor James L. Lawrence, who oversees the transfer station.
There is no charge to residents to bring recyclables to the facility.
The transfer station operates as an enterprise fund, a business within a government.
The sale of recyclable material covers more than 25 percent of the costs of running the transfer station, Mr. Lawrence said.
The other 75 percent is covered by tipping fees paid by commercial haulers who bring solid waste to the facility, which the county then trucks down to the Development Authority of the North Country landfill in Rodman.
While the DANC landfill handles all the municipal solid waste generated by its three charter counties Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence each county is responsible for handling its own recycling.
As counties try to find ways to reduce the amount of recyclables in the waste stream, the advantages and disadvantages of single-stream, dual-stream and source separation recycling will be weighed.
Single-stream means that materials are sorted at an automated recycling facility. St. Lawrence County recently enacted this policy. Casella Resource Solutions, a private company, handles its recycling.
Lewis County uses dual stream recycling. Under this system, glass, plastic and aluminum are pre-sorted from paper and cardboard. Theses materials are sorted again at the transfer station.
And Jefferson County uses source-separation, which means that all materials must be separated before they are turned in at the transfer station.
While some officials favor the ease of single-stream recycling, Mr. Lawrence and Solid Waste Maintenance Supervisor Joseph J. Gould argue that source separation keeps costs down, recycling free and tipping fees low at the transfer station.
Were one of the cheapest facilities around, Mr. Lawrence said.
Those low fees, along with a spirit of innovation, makes the facility the ideal location for handling Jefferson Countys recyclables.
We keep trying to figure out new things to do here, Mr. Gould said.
The transfer station instituted a program to recycle e-material such as computers, monitors and television sets three years before the state mandated such programs and is working on a program to recycle uprooted trees, hay and manure into highway topsoil.
And those are not the only instances of innovation.
In the new $1.5 million solid waste storage shed, built to accommodate the increasing demand for the transfer stations services, a mangy coyote watches over the facilitys windswept lot.
We found the coyote in the garbage, Mr. Gould said. Youd be surprised how it keeps the seagulls away.

Rinses fast. Great product. works great By Andy C on 4/8/2013 Andy C would recommend this product to a friend I've been using the ROX carbon for a few months now and it seems to work as advertised. I can't compare it to the other carbons, but can say that this one works. My system is 200 gallons total and I use 1.5 cups in a reactor, changed every two weeks. Things are still very clear by the end of the two weeks, so I imagine that it lasts longer, but I like to keep things conservative. ROX 0.8 ROCKS! By Christian on 4/4/2013 Christian would recommend this product to a friend Best GAC on the market. Period. Great Buy By Chase on 4/3/2013 Chase would recommend this product to a friend Purchased this product for my very first saltwater reef tank a few weeks ago along with the BRS dual reactor. My water looks crystal clear and can't wait to add fish and corals Great product By Rob on 3/31/2013 Rob would recommend this product to a friend Nice size and shape. Seems to work great! Pretty good stuff By Steve on 3/28/2013 Steve would recommend this product to a friend I haven't worked with a lot of carbon over the years, but this stuff seems pretty nice and high quality. I put it in my new BRS carbon reactor and it cleared up the tank in just a few days. I will probably replace more often than the instructions say though, from what I have been reading elsewhere. Just What it says By Curtis on 3/10/2013 Curtis would recommend this product to a friend Great Price in bulk!! So far so good. By Flip on 3/5/2013 Flip would recommend this product to a friend Ok, I just bought a gallon of this stuff and loaded into my marineland Hot Magnum 250 filter. Too early to tell if will give any better results then the regular Carbon you buy at the local store, but there are two things I can definitely comment on: 1) This stuff is small. I didn't realize how small. It looks like metal shavings. I was a bit concerned it might make it out of the filter cartridge and jam up my filter, so make sure before you buy this stuff you have a fine filter sleeve/cartridge. Get a ruler and really look at a millimeter. This is .8mms. 2) They were telling the truth when they said it has low dust. After I loaded it into my cartridge I tried to wash out the dust. Normally the water runs black for about a minute but this stuff made me look stupid. I couldn't see the water dim at all when it ran through. Anyway, that's all I got for now. Good Luck. Won't use any other carbon!!!! By Anthony on 2/26/2013 Anthony would recommend this product to a friend Used a ton of different carbon on my 150 gallon tank. Now I will never use anything else. I use this with a brs reactor with in a 1hr of adding new carbon the tank is crystal clear!!! Fits in top of TLF phosphoban reactor By Paul on 2/21/2013 Paul would recommend this product to a friend I get this for the sole purpose of putting 1/4 cup in the top of my TLF phosphoban reactor just above the top circular foam filter. This allows me to get cleaner water, and also helps to catch some of the particulate from the gfo. Clean water and a sump not stained red! Excellent media, definitely worth the extra money By Codemannc on 2/19/2013 Codemannc would recommend this product to a friend I used the cheaper media for years and finally realized that to be truly successful in the aquarium hobby, you need to spend money one quality equipment and media.

We'll be trying a new Monday-Friday feature on BB this
season to keep you abreast of the latest developments around the National
Hockey League.
Here's a look at what's making headlines today:
- The Montreal Canadiens signed Chris Campoli to a
one-year, $1.75 million deal. Campoli was
thought to be an option for the Rangers, who have been searching for a
veteran defenseman, but though the Rangers had
discussions regarding Campoli this weekend they chose not to sign him. Perhaps Campoli was too expensive, or perhaps
the Rangers were encouraged by the latest reports regarding Marc Staal, who may
join the team in Europe on Thursday or Friday. The Blueshirts have
maintained contact with Paul Mara's agent, Matt Keator, and depending on

- Elliotte Friedman's always terrific column, "30
- The New Jersey Devils will retire
Scott Niedermayer's No. 27 on December 16th.
- Florida Panthers goalie Scott Clemmensen underwent knee surgery and will be out for about a month. So
the Panthers won't have much of a safety net for Jose Theodore to start the
- The Buffalo Sabres sent
Ales Kotalik and Shaone Morrisonn to the AHL and are now under the salary
- Sidney Crosby is getting closer and closer to participating in a contact
- Calgary sent top prospects Sven Baertschi and Max Reinhart back

- Brendan Shanahan's suspension spree continues. James Wisniewski got eight regular season games
this hit and Brad Staubitz got three for
this one. Both were also suspended
for the remainder of the preseason.
- Carolina Hurricane Zac Dalpe is becoming a popular fantasy
hockey sleeper and for good reason; he might end
up playing on a line with Eric Staal.
- The Minnesota Wild signed Aaron Boogaard, Derek's brother, to a two-way contract.
- Former Ranger Dane Byers was placed on waivers by the Columbus Blue Jackets today, he's likely bound for Springfield of the AHL.
