« Nassim Taleb on Scientific Discovery |
| Hexacyclinol Retracted. It Only Took Six Years. »
Posted by Derek
Note: politics ahead. This will not be a regular feature around here, but when events warrant, it'll rear its scaly head.
BioCentury has an interesting piece this week on the growing budget impasse and its implications for both academic and industrial biomedical research. It's already widely known that the so-called "Fiscal Cliff", the budget sequestration process that will trigger if no better deal is reached, will perforce come after funding for both the NIH and the FDA. It's always tricky to figure out the impact of such spending cuts, due to the well-known "Washington Monument" tactic. (That refers to the way that if you try to cut the budget for, say, the Park Service, the first thing they'll do is close the Washington Monument. After all, you are having to save money, right? And if you can do it in a way that causes the most outrage and inconvenience, thus increasing the chance that your budget will be restored, well, why wouldn't you?)
So that means that I don't necessarily believe all the predictions for what sequestration would do to any given agency's budget. But there's no doubt that it would have a powerful effect. At the very least, current plans for increased services or expanded programs would immediately go into the freezer, and there would be layoffs and program cancellations on top of that. New NIH grants would surely be hit, and the approval process at the FDA would slow down. Budget sequestration would not mean The End of Science in America, but we'd feel it, all right.
The flip side of budget-cutting is raising revenue. And for that, we can (among many other places) turn back to the deals made with PhRMA when the Affordable Care Act (aka "Obamacare") was passed. Says BioCentury:
Many of the deficit reduction playbooks Congress and the White House will consult include recommendations to suck money out of the pharmaceutical industry. These include a number of proposals that were taken off the table in the PhRMA deal to support the Affordable Care Act.
Near the top of the list: Imposing rebates on drugs purchased under Medicare Part D by so-called "dual-eligibles," individuals who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.
The Obama administration's proposed fiscal 2013 budget projected $135 billion in revenues over a decade from dual-eligibles rebates. The idea, which is anathema to PhRMA, was also endorsed by the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform chaired by Alan Simpson, a former Republican senator from Wyoming, and Erskine Bowles, President Clinton's chief of staff.
The White House is also likely to continue to press for reducing the exclusivity period for biologics to seven years from the 12 years established when Congress created a biosimilars pathway in the Affordable Care Act.
Some readers may recall that I predicted something like this. There's a quote from the head of a health-care consulting firm, who says that "Everything that was taken off the table is back", and I can't say that I'm surprised. The twelve-year exclusivity idea had already been on the block to be chopped; I assume that one way or another, it's a goner.
Here's another provision of the Affordable Care Act that could affect the pharma industry. Starting in 2014, health insurance plans will have a defined "minimum level of coverage", which will be determined state-by-state. Late last year, the Department of Health and Human Services said that it plans to require that "essential" will mean one drug in each therapeutic class, with that one drug to be determined by some process I can only imagine. That idea hasn't been popular, with either drug companies or patients, and one might expect to see it altered. But not without a huge amount of wrangling, that's for sure.

It's not like ACA/Obamacare isn't relevant to Pharma exactly. It's a reasonable topic for discussion. Generally, there's one election post and a couple of other political posts a year. If they aren't worth swallowing to get the rest of the information, you don't have to read.
I'm glad ACA's present, but disappointed in the philandering with PhRMA (that the gov't is being dishonest, not in the agreement). I would prefer more forthright sources of revenue to fix the budget gap, but if we were willing to accept them, well, we wouldn't be in this position.

It is just as much a spending problem as it is a revenue problem. A trillion plus per year deficit is not sustainable. Pick your poison as to what you want to blame for excess spending. Everyone gets the blame on that account.
8. Bill H on November 14, 2012 11:54 AM writes...
This might be a little off-topic for this blog, but the potential impact on federal research funding if sequestration isn't averted is pretty depressing. The AAAS has a report that breaks down the impact: http://www.aaas.org/spp/rd/fy2013/SeqBrief.pdf
9. Hap on November 14, 2012 1:00 PM writes...
It's revenue and spending - it depends on how much you think the federal government should be doing as to how much of each you need. I tend to blame revenue because while taxes were cut lots, spending was never cut to match the revenue loss - cutting spending was either unpopular enough not to have been done initially or subsequently, or it was never intended. (At some point, the idea that there would be no revenue loss should have met the numbers and slunk away.) In either case, the presumptions are either that people wanted the federal government to be doing lots of what it was doing (thermodynamic stability), or that deciding what could be cut without serious arm-twisting of the populace was not possible (kinetic stability).
The possibility of making gov't run more cheaply could also be implemented, but here the only plan for substantial savings that could probably get anywhere would be a federal version of Kasich's "*bleep* the unions" plan for making education cheaper in OH, and that didn't go so well.
10. Neuroskeptic on November 15, 2012 4:17 AM writes...
It's cool. All Pharma need to do is invent a drug that inhibits spending and spike the drinks at the negotiations.
11. Matt on November 15, 2012 9:13 PM writes...
@10: And if it happens to have a malignant tox profile, such that a lot of lawyers and politicians are put out of commission...it might be a blockbuster. From what I hear, if you are a good politician or lawyer, your body has a way of rejecting the bad effects.
12. Hap on November 16, 2012 10:17 AM writes...
Pharma's success lately does not encourage, both in the speed needed and in the ability to generate the requisite drug. Also, reverse psychology doesn't work on Murphy's Law.

Since then, SFR is the first to obtain footage showing what Smith's former neighbors in El Paso, Texas, allege is a video of him stabbing their tires. Between 2008 and 2012, the neighbors filed multiple police reports accusing Smith of repeatedly "ice picking" their tires; trying to set their house on fire; and even stabbing one of them. They took this video in Feb. 2012, on the night of the alleged stabbing.

Unhappy the Man
The life and work of August Strindberg.
Jul 8, 2013, Vol. 18, No. 41 • By ALGIS VALIUNAS
At last he was able to get out, but only briefly at first. Strindberg matriculated at Uppsala University, Sweden's Oxford, but his father, although flush again, refused to finance his studies. After one term, August was forced to become a schoolmaster—at Klara, of all places. He was an inspiring but uninspired teacher, and his melancholy became obvious to a friendly neighbor, Dr. Axel Lamm, who offered to take him in as companion to his two sons and as a medical student under Lamm's personal tutelage. Strindberg loved the studies, which he described as "penetrating nature's secrets." He loved Dr. Lamm for (what Prideaux calls) his "disinterested benevolence." The Lamms were among the few Jews in Stockholm, and, for a spell, Strindberg had only generous things to say about Jews. But as his paranoia deepened over time, and he sprayed venom in all directions, the Jews would become a particular object of his mad hatred. With sadness, Prideaux points out that the year Strindberg spent with the Lamms was the only time he was ever "part of life in a happy and functioning family."
Then the theater bug bit him. He attended the Royal Theatre two or three times a week, bluffed his way into supernumerary roles, flubbed his chance for a one-line part, drowned his sorrows in opium and liquor, and woke up hungover but pregnant with a play of his own, and then a long poem. Prideaux writes, "At last he felt chosen, blessed, directed." In short order, he turned out five plays, one of which, In Rome, about a Danish sculptor's success in the face of his father's scorn for art, received its premiere at the Royal Theatre in 1870. Strindberg used his paycheck to return to Uppsala. He acquired prodigious learning for a young man, composed songs, learned to paint, and wrote three more plays, one of which earned him an audience with the king of Sweden and a royal stipend.
He left the university in 1872 without a degree. Supporting himself in Stockholm with freelance journalism and a position at the Royal Library struck him as beneath his dignity, but he had time for scholarship and writing plays. And by now there were women. There would always be women from this point; and they would be his particular torment. He had a long affair with a "waitress"—Prideaux considers the word a euphemism—who he dumped when she got pregnant in 1875. Later that year, he met the first woman he would marry: Siri von Essen Wrangel, a Finnish aristocrat, the wife of a Swedish baron, and the mother of a 2-year-old daughter. She yearned to be a famous actress, and Strindberg offered her excitement that her handsome but inert husband could not. At first, their union seemed impossible; in despair Strindberg even (sort of) tried to kill himself, but then the baron's own adultery opened the way to a divorce and Siri's remarriage. Bliss beckoned; Hell gaped.
Strindberg's autobiographical novel A Madman's Defense (1888) traces the arc of their romance from first infatuation through her infidelity, his jealous rage, his loathing her as a slut and a lesbian, and, above all, his fears that their children might not be his and that his vampire wife was trying to poison him. All modern women came under assault. In an earlier manifesto he had endorsed female emancipation and full equality; now, like Nietzsche, whom he admired and corresponded with, he came to woman with the whip: "The very thought of having to witness the recognition and apotheosis of these intelligences of the Bronze Age, these anthropoids, these semi-apes, this pack of pestilent animals, roused my manhood."
He would work this vein for the rest of his life and become the anti-Ibsen, a self-appointed role Prideaux alludes to and on which Michael Meyer, an Ibsen biographer, provides a running commentary. Disastrous subsequent marriages to a trophy-hunting Austrian journalist and a very young Swedish beauty who would become the leading lady of the Scandinavian stage furnished Strindberg with deep background.

Norway at Cheese 2009
Norway will be featured in the seventh Cheese with two Presidia, that will have exhibition spaces in Via Principi di Piemonte, the street dedicated to showcasing protection, promotion, consultation and support projects put into practice by the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity in Italy and abroad.
Pultost from Hedmark and Oppland Counties
Pultost has ancient origins and is typically made in a saeter, a Norwegian mountain farm. For hundreds of years it was produced throughout Norway, particularly in Hedmark and Oppland counties in the southeast of the country. A sour-milk cheese, it is made using acid fermentation without the addition of rennet, one of the most ancient cheesemaking techniques. The skimmed, unpasteurized cow's milk is soured and heated to a temperature between 45° and 65°C. The curd is then hung in a cloth to drain before being crumbled and left to ferment. Finally caraway seeds are added for flavoring and to stop the fermentation. Pultost can be eaten fresh or aged for up to a year.
Production area
Hedmark and Oppland Counties, southeast Norway
Artisan Sognefjord Geitost
Geitost is a brown sweet cheese made with the caramelized whey of raw goat's milk. It is the result of an unusual technique found only in Norway and Sweden in the whole of Europe. A little whole goat's milk and cow's milk cream is added to fresh whey that is boiled immediately after it is pressed out of the white cheeses produced by the same cheesemakers. The mixture is cooked for 8-10 hours, and during cooking, the lactose sugar naturally present in the milk caramelizes and turns brown.
Production area

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Roseann Trezza, Executive Director 973-824-7080 May 14, 2008
Car Donations Help Support AHS/Popcorn Park Zoo
IT MAY BE A JUNKER TO YOU. But to thousands of animals protected and cared for through Associated Humane Societies and Popcorn Park Zoo, that old car can mean hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of support.
AHS/Popcorn Park Zoo, with shelters in Newark, Tinton Falls and Forked River, is accepting used car donations to support the organization's animal welfare programs. Generous supporters only need to call 1-201-888-1085 and they are on their way to donating their old vehicle to a great cause. Auto pick-ups can only be made in New Jersey.
Recent tax laws allow donor tax deductions equal only to the gross selling price of a donation before expenses are deducted -- not blue book values. Therefore it is very important to donate to an organization that will process your car donation with the goal of maximizing the worth of your donation.
Associated Humane exists strictly on donations from our supporters. However as our economy waivers, it's getting tougher for folks to make monetary contributions. Therefore, we are looking to provide our supporters with as many creative ways to continue helping us as possible, said Roseann Trezza, Executive Director, Associated Humane Societies/Popcorn Park. Some people may find themselves stuck with a vehicle that no longer runs or can't be sold. We say, let us take it off your hands and we will do everything reasonable to maximize the selling potential of your vehicle. Everyone wins, including the animals we serve.
So if you're tired of looking at the heap in your driveway or listening to the multitude of noises you hear every time you drive, think `donation!' And call 1-201-888-1085 .

President Goodluck Jonathan and his aides are expected to spend N1.289bn on foreign trips in the 2013 fiscal year.
This is not inclusive of the sum of N149.92m, being the cost of international travels for officials of the State House for various levels of training abroad.
The details were contained in the 2013 budget of the presidency, which was passed by the National Assembly in December last year.
The amount is part of the total N7.476bn overhead cost for the State House.
The figure suggests that the President is likely going to embark on more foreign trips this year following the almost 100 per cent increase from what was budgeted in 2012.
A perusal of the 2012 Appropriation Act showed that the President and his men spent a total of N566.644m last year on foreign trips.
This was part of the N6.4bn overhead cost for the State House, about N1bn less than what was estimated for 2013.
Likewise, this did not include the N118.09m which was spent last year on training officials of the State House.
Meanwhile, barely a month and a few days into the year, the President has jetted out of the country five times.
In January alone, the President travelled out of the country four times, meaning that he travelled almost every week.
The President started his foreign trips for the year on January 7, when he travelled to Accra, Ghana to attend the inauguration of the country's President, John Mahama.
On January 18, Jonathan again jetted out of the country to Cote D'Ivoire where he attended an extraordinary summit of the Economic Community of West African States.
Three days after, the President left the shores of the country to attend a summit of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. He was also in Geneva briefly during this period.
While he returned to the country on January 24, Jonathan again left for Ethiopia on January 26 to take part in the summit of the African Union's Heads of State and Government.
The President travelled out of the country last Tuesday evening for a trip that will take him to three countries: the United Kingdom, France and Egypt.
Efforts to get the exact amount spent on the President's foreign travels this year did not yield result, but a presidency source said over N50m might have been spent on each trip.
She said, "Anytime the President is travelling, whether foreign or local, three teams are involved.
"The first team will go there for feasibility studies. The team comprises representatives of each of the departments that will be involved in the visit.
''They are expected to inspect everywhere the President will visit in the country and liaise with the authorities there while they arrange for accommodation for the delegation.
"The second team is called the advance team. These are people who will carry out some activities and make preparations for the President's arrival. They are security men, officials of the protocol unit, the media, among others.
"The third team is the main team which comprises the President, his wife (where applicable) and top presidential aides."

Projects on the Move
Are you ready to assess your assets and limit your liabilities? Or maybe you just want to find out where your money goes. This month we look at Grisbi, GnuCash, and HomeBank finance managers.
This time, it's personal. My current system of logging into my bank account to see whether my magical debit card still works isn't working for me, so I've decided to test drive some open source finance managers: Grisbi, GnuCash, and HomeBank.
First released in French in 2000, the Grisbi accounting program is now available in several languages and runs on most operating systems. To download Grisbi, visit the project's SourceForge page [1] or homepage [2]. The install and configuration is intuitive – select your country and currency, the list of "categories" you'll use (either a standard category set or an empty list with no categories defined yet), add bank details, and then create a new account from scratch or import data from an online bank account or accounting software. I opted to create a new bank account. Other options include a cash account, liabilities account, or assets account (Figure 1).

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient, which functions as an antioxidant and can help protect healthy cells from free radical damage and helps support a healthy heart.†
Antioxidants work to fight off free radicals that can cause damage to healthy cells. Vitamin E, in particular, is beneficial for preventing the oxidation of fat, such as LDL (or bad cholesterol), to help support a healthy heart.

Bleeding Through -- Detroit, MI -- November 8th, 2013
[B]Sworn In[/B] played first. I've seen them 4x now. The 1st time I saw them I thought they were killer live, but since then I've noticed how mediocre & generic they are. It's almost like they are trying to hard to convey the pissed off teenager persona. I've seen that a billion times, and I'm just tired of it.
[B]Gideon[/B] played next. They played a short set because their guitarist was really sick, but even their set alone was worth the price of the ticket. I absolutely love this band.
[B][U]Gideon setlist[/U][/B]
Bad Blood
Kingdom Minded
Still Alive
Prodigal Son
[B]Oceano[/B] - They suck, period.
[B][U]Winds of Plague[/U][/B] was next. I've seen them 6 or 7x now. I guess they're OK, but I am not a fan. They just don't do it for me.
This was [B]Bleeding Through[/B]'s farewell tour, sadly. I'm really glad they decided to do one more US tour for their fans and that I was able to make it. It was my 4th time seeing them. During the Boondock Saints part at the beginning of "Love Lost In a Hail of Gunfire," before the song even started, a massive pit opened up! There were only about 300 people at the show, but they were diehards. The crowd was going off all night! I normally stand in the back at shows now (I'm too old to mosh anymore : ) ), but tonight I was right up front the whole time. They said their first ever show in Michigan was in Ypsilanti in 2001 w/ Throwdown. They dedicated "On Wings of Lead" to their friends in the Michigan bands Walls of Jericho, xTyrantx, and The Black Dahlia Murder. Other highlights were "Love In Slow Motion" and "Sister Charlatan." Normally the crowd does a sort of half-hearted "one more song" chant when bands leave the stage, but tonight it was definitely sincere. I was even screaming for that. They came back out & said they have not done an encore on this tour yet, and they only knew how to play one more song because one of the guitarists from the band Impending Doom is filling in for them on this tour. Wow, what a show! Off the top of my head, I seriously think show is in the discussion w/ OrionFest, Alice In Chains, and The Ghost Inside's headlining tour for "Best show of 2013" for me. What an amazing night! R.I.P. Bleeding Through, and thanks for the music!

I do have a feeling there will be another leg of this tour since it's stated as the first leg of the US Farewell tour.
Might check this tour out. WOP is a band I enjoy seeing and Bleeding Through isn't bad.
Kevin what's the bleeding through merch looking like? Lot of shirts and hoodies? Any price points? I'm seeing them weds in nj
Dc metal yeah on their fb they stated another us leg next year
I think it's cool WOP is on this tour. They've been good friends with Bleeding Through since 03, so it's great they'd be part of the farewell.
[QUOTE=dcmetal108;546132]I do have a feeling there will be another leg of this tour since it's stated as the first leg of the US Farewell tour.[/QUOTE]
I don't think they said that, did they? And besides, if there's a second leg it's probably going to be on their home turf or whatever.
[QUOTE=Ommie;546155]I don't think they said that, did they? And besides, if there's a second leg it's probably going to be on their home turf or whatever.[/QUOTE]
Yeah the lead singer posted several times on his facebook referring to it as the first leg of the US tour.
Diid Gideon, WoP and/or BT have tour shirts or vinyl, and do you remember prices?
And i don't suppose they had any farewell tour posters?
A few people asked about merch... I did not really pay attention to the merch, sorry. I have a Bleeding Through hoodie and 3 or 4 t-shirts of theirs already.
I'd imagine they'd have some kind of special farewell tour shirt.

Hot Stove Series: Infielders | Outfielders | Starting Pitchers
The Orioles could use some consistency with a big bat that can also stabilize a lineup, but the combo of Adam Jones and Nick Markakis lock down both center and right.
They could have Nolan Reimold as the everyday left fielder, but his glove and defense could be upgraded. Luke Scott is a part time fielder that is coming off a serious injury, and he could be non-tendered. Matt Angle and Kyle Hudson are fourth outfielder type ball players. Overall, the group in left field is not locked and in limited supply could be upgraded.
The outfield class this winter is a bare situation, which means most of the movement will be on the trade front. You will not find any star power on opening day, but a few guys could be "buy low" to platoon or improve the defense at the position above the current roster considerations.
Yoenis Cespedes
Salary Command: IFA from Cuba could sign a deal similar to the one Aroldis Chapman received a few seasons ago.
Hypothetical Deal: 6 yrs; $35-$40 million dollars
Lost Compensation: None
Plus: The YouTube wonder has hit the stage and made everyone drool watching him and his abundance of tools. He has shown power production and in limited international exposure the ability to become a five tool player. He shows tremendous bat speed and is highly athletic, enough so that some feel safely about sticking him in center field. He is just entering his prime and might need a short time adjusting to a major league program. He has vast upside that can be had without committing the $100 million dollars that would come normally. He would be locked into service time until he is 32 years old and you will get the best years out of him for very cheap. As much as I hate throwing out comps, I see a bit of Vladimir Guerrero type athletic ability in Cespedes.
Minus: The Vlad comparisons are tied to workouts, and trust me all athletic guys look good in shorts and t-shirts. He is limited in international exposure and his Cuban league is no longer considered as prosper with legitimate talent across the landscape as it was in the recent pasts. He is the total risk/reward type free agent. The tools show up on the tape, but does he handle pitch recognition? Will the pitchers who throw upper 90s fastballs with ball on string change ups keep him from enough contact to reach the power potential? He could end up being a Juan Rivera type player, just as much as the superstar that showed up for 20 minutes of edited video.
Carlos Beltran
Salary Command: Deal might not be long, but still over $10 million dollars per year
Hypothetical Deal: 3 years; $40-45 million
Lost Compensation: None (Contract voided Giants from offering arbitration)
Plus: He is no longer the fielder that he was in his days with the Royals and the early part of the Mets big contract, but still shows enough to profile as a replacement level corner outfielder defensively. You can save the knees by giving him a DH role from time to time, in turn improving his overall production for the season. He should still be a productive bat with at least a ~3.0 WAR per year over the next three seasons, making him comparable to an above average regular for either corner outfield position. He would fit nicely in the three hole and allow Nick Markakis to move into his more natural role of a number two hitter. He will require nothing in return for signing him, which is a huge factor that increases his attraction to teams that do not want to give up a high draft pick.
Minus: This guy used to be a gazelle in center field and a highly regarded athlete with the skills to run with the best of them. His range has taken a huge hit after the injuries and age creeping up on him. If stuck in the field over 162 games, he could be a liability on the field that could wear down as the long season continues through the hot summer months. He is not a base clogger, but it's no longer a guarantee that a slap single will move him 60 yards from 1st to 3rd. It is likely that he will spend 50% of his time at DH and his role might overlap with Nolan Reimold's too much.
Norichika Aoki
Posting Fee: Yet to be determined due to the lack of known demand; likely in very low 8 figures though.
Salary Command: He will see an entry level deal similar to an average everyday centerfielder, minus the open market power.
Hypothetical Deal: 4 years; $18-22 million
Plus: He shows speed that plays well, with good range that could play in center field. He's a polished contact hitter that shows a similar approach to Ichiro, but has a bit more control in his weight transfer that goes more towards the mound rather than Ichiro's drag towards first base. This slightly different approach allows him to get more pop out of the stick and gives him gap power potential. He displays excellent plate coverage and routinely will take a ball in the opposite direction. He's a sound hitter with runners on the base, and has little wasted outs with contact. Very good in all the small ball offensive categories.
Minus: His bat speed is not on the same level as Ichiro. His pitch recognition and pure contact ability is not on the same plane as the person he is always compared with as well. While he walks a good deal, he is a free swinger that sometimes fails to control the strike zone. Some feel that he is better suited as a fourth outfielder over an everyday type because his arm is below average and his production would not be high enough to justify as a corner outfielder. International scouts are more on the fence and see him as a slap hitter on the MLB level. One called him a free swinging Juan Pierre with a drop in speed and no arm.
Other potential Candidates:
Grady Sizemore: What would his career be without the constant injury bug shaking him for what seems every season? He was once an agile centerfield player that was on the short list of guys that teams would want to build around. His knees have zapped the athletic abilities in the field and his range is better suited in left field because his arm would be teetering on average in right. There is still a great deal of doubt that he can maintain his health as well as reach his previous form as a hitter. He might want to take the one year deal to try and re-establish himself as an everyday type, making it a lower risk with chance for high reward.
Cody Ross: He is a surprising defender that shows the ability to play any outfield position, but is better in left or right. He shows above average range. He took a nose dive in 2011 and it may drive the demand and price down on the open market. His decline was a product of playing in the NL West and he would be an under the radar type player that could provide value to the Orioles. He shows solid pitch recognition and the ability to draw walks. If he is placed into a stadium such as Camden Yards, I think his offensive production can go north of last season's .730 OPS and should be closer to .800 OPS.
David DeJesus: Dejesus is a corner outfielder that a team would hope starts to show his Kansas City roots. He may have to be platooned with a right handed bat, which would fit well with Reimold's splits. He is a buy low bat that teams could shy away from, but the results might be tied to playing a majority of the game in pitcher parks in the AL West. He is not a flashy name, but he could provide average defense in left field. Maybe a new park setting such as Camden Yards could spark his offense. He might be willing to take a low one year deal with the hopes of improving his stock. The Orioles should be high on his list of teams that will give him the chance to play everyday.
Michael Cuddyer: I profiled him with the infielders, even though his best position is the outfield. He is a liability at any defensive position and his bat may slow down to the point where he is no longer productive, and maybe even replacement level. He profiles better as an off the bench super utility player that can provide pop on occasion.

Native to Chesapeake Bay
Family - Callichtrichaceae
Distribution - Water starworts are widespread, usually in quiet non-tidal fresh waters. Water starworts can also be found occasionally in upper tidal waters.
Recognition - Water starworts are small plants with very bright green leaves. The leaves are obovate to oval in shape and are 2 cm long and 3 to 8 mm wide. When it grows on mud in low-water conditions, the leaves of water starwort are oblong. Upper leaves of the plants are obovate to oval and are often floating or emergent. The genus Callitriche also includes one terrestrial species (C. deflexa).
Ecological Significance - Callitriche is found in all 49 continental states.
Similar species - When underwater and without flowers or seeds, the water starworts can resemble
common waterweed (Elodea canadensis). Water starwort, however, has only two leaves at each joint whereas the leaves of common waterweed grow in whorls of 3.
Reproduction - Flowering occurs in July to September. Small flowers grow together in groups of 1 to 3, without perianth, in the axils of leaves; these form numerous seeds closely set within the leaf axils.

Bamiyan Buddhas Back?
Op-Ed columnist Roger Cohen of the New York Times looks into the rebuilding of the Buddhas of Bamiyan. Tricycle took a quick look at this story over a year ago. Don't forget, Buddhas are still being destroyed in central Asia -- In fact, Buddhas being dynamited serve as a kind of barometer of Islamist power in a particular region.

Hurricane Sandy hit the legal world hard, as we've chronicled in these pages. And many lawyers and legal employers are still feeling its effects — quite literally. If you work at one prominent downtown law firm, for example, we hope you're wearing thermal underwear.
As we mentioned on Friday, some individuals have been exploiting the Superstorm Sandy crisis to take advantage of others. The Justice Department and the SEC have issued warnings about various "Sandy scams."
On the opposite end of the decency spectrum, some lawyers and law firms are stepping up to the plate and supporting Hurricane Sandy relief and recovery efforts. Let's see what they're doing — and give them some well-deserved kudos for their work….
There is, of course, a long and impressive tradition of major law firms supporting humanitarian efforts in response to natural disasters. For example, Biglaw offered big responses to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami of 2011 and to the Haiti earthquake of 2010.
We have previously mentioned one firm's support for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. McGuireWoods is encouraging its partners and employees to support the American Red Cross through a matching contribution program. The firm will match up to $50,000 in individual contributions.
Another firm is making an even bigger statement — or at least writing an even bigger check. On Friday afternoon, Weil Gotshal made the following internal announcement:
In order to assist with the relief efforts, the Firm will immediately make a contribution of a total of $200,000, spread among three organizations – the American Red Cross, AmeriCares and the Salvation Army.
In addition, the Firm will match Partner and employee contributions up to a total of $200,000 for donations made to [specified] organizations, or similar charitable organizations dedicated to the hurricane relief efforts.
The full Weil memo, which lists a variety of reputable relief organizations, appears on the next page.
Supporting Sandy recovery isn't all about the benjamins. Firms and their lawyers can contribute time and effort as well. For example, McDermott Will & Emery is pitching in on various pro bono legal efforts.
And support for hurricane relief goes beyond Biglaw. From the ABA Journal:
In a [recent] statement, ABA President Laurel Bellows notes that the ABA Young Lawyers Division is coordinating with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to staff emergency disaster hotlines with lawyers who can provide expert advice to those affected by Hurricane Sandy. The ABA is also a participating organization in the National Disaster Legal Aid website, which provides information to donate to or volunteer with legal aid programs.
We commend McGuireWoods, Weil Gotshal, McDermott Will, and the ABA for their efforts and contributions. These are just a few examples of how lawyers and law firms are helping others and promoting the public interest in the destructive aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
Are you aware of a major law firm that is supporting Hurricane Sandy recovery work, through the contribution of time, or treasure, or both? If so, please email us (subject line: "Sandy Relief Efforts"). If we receive enough additional information, we may prepare a follow-up post. Thanks.
P.S. On the theory that charity begins at home, we have also gently suggested that law firms announce and pay staff and lawyer bonuses as soon as possible, to help affected employees cope with unanticipated expenses arising out of Superstorm Sandy.
UPDATE (11/6/2012, 12:00 PM): For additional law firm pro bono efforts and charitable contributions related to Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts, check out Am Law Daily.
(Click through to the next page to see the full Weil Gotshal memo, which could serve as a template for announcing similar initiatives at other law firms.)

Marrow Donor Shows Life-Saving ProcessFor the thousands of people diagnosed every year with life-threatening blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma, there is a cure. It lives inside of each and every one of us, and the only way to save a life is by donating marrow.
Adrian Peterson Falls Nine Yards Short Of Record As Vikings Beat PackersAdrian Peterson needed 208 yards to break Eric Dickerson's single season rushing record, but fell nine yards short of the mark. The Minnesota Vikings offense matched the Green Bay Packers drive for drive before winning on a field goal as time expired. The game included drama, controversy and physicality.
Minnesota Vikings Put Playoffs On The Line Against Division Rival Green Bay PackersThe Minnesota Vikings have one game to make the playoffs. The final hurdle to clinching the sixth spot in the postseason is a home game against the Green Bay Packers. Adrian Peterson needs to rush for 208 yards to break the single season rushing mark against the team that he ran for 210 yards against a few weeks ago.
Minnesota Vikings Are In The Thick Of The Division Title HuntThe Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers form the NFL's best division. The Bears sit atop the standings, but have issues with its offense. The Packers won the division last season, but the defense remains its weak link. The Vikings and Adrian Peterson are one of the best stories in the league, but do they have enough to make the playoffs. The Lions remain in the hunt, but can they get hot and catch the teams ahead of them.

by Osamu Tezuka
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is one of those classic graphic novels that I didn't know about until someone recommended the anime version. While the movie is different than the graphic novel, both are enjoyable. What I liked about the graphic novel was that it wasn't as serious -- as in there was humor that was not quite in the movie. Tezuka's writing and illustrations are quite clever and easy to follow, as is the storyline. While the ending is tragic (just like the film) the journey to that ending is what matters most. I found the story to be, like the movie, touching in unexpected ways.

That SHOULD have been a red flag)!� Within that first hour he started panting like mad and drooling, couldn't sit still and scared me to death.� I quickly Googled the product and was absolutely horrified to find over 33,000 cases that had even killed some pets!�I gave him a bath toget the stuff off and it�made no difference. �I called my Vet and they said to bring him NOW.� He gave him two shots, one was Atropene and the other a steroid �to help him stop drooling.� Gave me a new flea pill, Comfortus, to give a week later.� Not sure now if I will….Took him home and within minutes he vomited a HUGE amount of white foam and was getting more paniky by the minute.� Harder panting and profuse drooling, so I called the Vet and once again said get him here now.� He gave him charcoal in liquid form to absorb what was in his stomach, we had black slime all over the place!� Got him back home and there was not much difference, except that the drooling was less and he finally started drinking water.� He still couldn't sit still and it was apparent that he was totally exhausted.� I finally got him to lay on my lap and I just kept rubbing his hair backwards and forwards and as long as I did that he laid there.� If I stopped he jumped like he had frogs in him. I have NEVER seen anything like this and I've had dogs and cats all of my life!� Before I tried to go to bed, I offered him a bone marrow treat which he loves and to my surprise, he ate it!!!� My husband said to give him all he wanted since he refused his regular food.� He ate about 6 and we went to bed.� He still could not lay still and was still panting and breathing fast.� I laid there all night with my hand on him.� If I stopped rubbing his fur, he jumped all over the bed.� Finally around 4 am he went to sleep with only fast breathing.� I got up around 7 am and he won't get �a foot away from me.� I think he knows how sick he was.� My Vet said they have had other cases that were alot worse, but I can't imagine what I would do if I had lost Teddy.� PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE�don't use this stuff on your pet!!!� It should be taken off the shelf and Sergeant's should have to pay for all of our Vet bills!!!!� That is nothing compared to all of the suffering our beloved pets have endured!!! I will be calling Sergeant's today with this story.� If there is anyone who has questions or just wants to talk about this experience, please lt me know.


text: The theory of strong interactions is an elegant quantum field theory known as Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). QCD is deceptively simple to formulate, but notoriously difficult to solve. This simplicity belies the diverse set of physical phenomena that fall under its domain, from nuclear forces and bound hadrons, to high energy jets and gluon radiation. In this talk I show how systematic limits of QCD, known as effective field theories, provide a means of isolating the essential degrees of freedom for a particular problem while at the same time supplying a powerful tool for quantitative computations. The adventure will take us from the fine structure of hydrogen, to weak decays of B-mesons, to the behavior of energetic hadrons and jets in QCD.

How to Get a Brush out of Your Hair
Two Methods:Pulling the hair looseDestroying the brush
Have you been brushing your hair, and it was so full of tangle that the brush got stuck? Well, it may seem impossible to survive, but here are some simple steps on how to get the brush out.
Method 1 of 2: Pulling the hair loose
1Don't tug. Tugging or pulling will only cause the brush to stick more, by tangling the hair further.Ad
2Loosen the hair. Use a pencil. Stick it in gently and maneuver it around a little to pull up the hair. If you can't see what you're doing, find someone to help you.
3Pull a small amount at a time, gently loosening the hair strand by strand.
- Work from the inside outward.
4Do this slowly. It'll take time and requires a gentle touch. When you're done, pull the rest of the brush free.
5Remove hairs from the brush that are stuck in it. Wash it out and let it dry.
6Use a different brush or wide-toothed comb to finish your hair grooming for this day. This will give the hair time to settle and brush time to dry. You might even prefer to wash and condition your hair before attempting to brush it again.Ad
Method 2 of 2: Destroying the brush
If you can't get your hair out of the brush, you'll need to consider destroying the brush. It's either the brush or your hair and your hair is far more valuable.
1Cut off the brush bristles. Cutting off the bristles might seem a harsh thing to do, but it's better than cutting the hair.
2Use scissors to carefully cut each bristle off. Don't cut your hair while cutting the bristles off. If you cannot see what you're doing, have a family member or friend help with this.
- Wire pliers also work well, They'll be faster, and do a better job.
3Once you're done with cutting the brush bristles off, snap the handle of the brush. Using wire-pliers, put a towel over the handle, get your start, and snap off the handle. This will make it easier to get the brush out.
4Gently, untangle the hair, by getting it off, one side of your brush. Do this slow and steadily, and be patient. Try to figure out where the worst knots are, and slowly pick them out. If it hurts, stop. Gently pull of some of the hairs, until all the hairs are off.
5Once you get your hair out of the brush, dispose of it. Wash your hair, with shampoo conditioner, dry it, and brush it out with a comb or another spare brush.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Worse comes to worst, you'll have to cut your hair, but don't worry, it'll grow back!
- Don't dampen your hair.
- You'll lose a brush.
- You'll get bristles all over your floor.

artist info
After developing his skills in the fertile musical ground of Detroit in the 1950's with the likes of Yusef Lateef, Kenny Burrell, Doug Watkins and others, drummer Louis Hayes found himself at the tender age of 18 in New York as a member of the great Horace Silver Quintet. His first recording with Horace, the classic Six Pieces Of Silver would introduce him to the jazz world as a new force to be acknowledge Louis continued to enhance his reputation with Horace from 1956 until 1959 when he joined Cannonball Adderley where he propelled the quintet to joyous musical heights and timeless recordings through 1965. He has had numerous honors and awards, including: The Down Beat New Star Award – 1961, State Of Louisiana Special Recognition Award -1986, State Of Michigan Special Tribute 1996, The Society of the Culturally Concerned Appreciation Award – 1996, Spirit Of Detroit Award -2004, Life Time Achievement Award From Bakers Keyboard Lounge – 2004, United States House Of Representatives Special Tribute – 2004. His current endeavors primarily involve the leadership of The Cannonball Legacy Band, which pays tribute to the gifted art form of that heritage and The Jazz Communicators which is Louis' desire to continue bringing exciting musical alternatives to audiences around the world.
Vincent Herring - Grammy Award winning saxophonist Vincent Herring has developed into a virtuoso with a voice that is uniquely intense and vigorous with energy and direction. He is considered one of the premier saxophonists of his generation. Vincent first toured Europe and the United States with Lionel Hampton's big band. As he developed his musicianship he began to work with Nat Adderley a liaison that continued for nine years. In addition to the legends and peers he has worked with Vincent is inspired by a collage of diverse musical influences, which is reflected in his original band called Earth Jazz Agents. Vincent is also involved in Jazz education. He is currently on staff at William Patterson University in New Jersey.
Jeremy Pelt has become one of the preeminent young trumpeters within the world of jazz. Forging a bond with the Mingus Big Band very early on, as his career progressed, Pelt built upon these relationships and many others which eventually lead to collaborations with some of the genre's greatest masters. These projects include performances and recordings with Cliff Barbaro, Keter Betts, Bobby "Blue" Bland, and many others.
Rick Germanson has been a highly in-demand pianist on the New York City Jazz scene for over a decade. A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Rick moved to New York City on the heels of winning the grand prize at The American Pianists' Association Jazz Piano Competition in 1996. His accomplishments have garnered much adoration from the media and led to him being chosen as Best of New Talent in 2004 by All About Jazz NYC.
Known for his musical versatility, bassist Dezron Douglas is one of the most in demand young bassists in jazz today. composer, educator and bandleader, Dezron has established himself as a musician's musician, respected not only for his talent, but also firhis dedication to the authenticity of the music.

How did the Japanese -Americans Get to Black Rock?
- denscul
- 4/6/14
Were the evil characters, who were probably representative of most good Americans the day after Pearl Harbor any different. What was it that made so many young men enlist? They wanted to kill Japanese. Has Hollywood ever made a film about the callous decision of FDR to intern, most legal, some citizens of the US? It was done for political purposes. If you ever see films regarding this dark event, it was not the FBI who made the decision, but a President who did so for a political reason. The Irish Republic had harbored German spies, refused to allow Allied ships use their harbors, and interned Allied Air and Naval crews that landed in Ireland. Millions of Italians and German's some who were not citizens were not interned. The practical reason they were not interned was they were voters, who predominantly voted Democratic and for FDR. To make a film about one community's few bigots who appeared to have flunked out of Grade school, seems harsh when the decision to send them to this desert was made by men who had attended Ivy League schools.As Actors, within what I think is a contorted plot, were terrific, although I found Tracy's one armed character and White Hair a little disconcerting considering that the men he fought were young and large. Did they not go on to play superheroes in future films? I love the comedies of Director John Sturgis. They are improbable farces. I never enjoyed any of his films such as this, because they were farces of serious subjects.

The Rock is hard to forget
- ojc
- 10/15/12
Good movie. Wonderful cast. But like some of the other users the film has a few quibbles or problems that seem to get in the way of fully enjoying it. For example, the town has a rather odd demographic distribution of citizens. There are no children, no teens. Except for Anne Francis and her brother, no one under the age of 30. I admit its a small town but hard to remember a town with no children. Also no one ever seems to be doing anything other than loitering around and drinking beer or pop. I know its suppose to be sleepy. But seems a bit too sleepy.And throughout the picture we just seem to see that same 8-10 people all day and night. I mean aren't there any other women in town? All this contributes to the picture's static quality. Seems to be a morality play in a western locale.But that all said, it well-acted, directed, and moves at a good clip. Good viewing and its message of standing up for community values in the face of prejudice and bullying is always timely.
Bad Day at Black Rock
- Dashiell Barnes
- 9/9/12
A taunt mixture of the western & film noir genre. Tracy deserved his Oscar nomination among a group of superb supporting players including Ryan, Brennan, Borgnine, Francis, Marvin & Jagger. Director Sturges & screenwriter Kaufman create tension in the sun-drenched landscape, which also serves as a straightforward message about racism towards the Japanese. A quick-paced, entertaining & engaging film. I give it a 4.5/5.
Mystery at Black Rock
- Eddie Foster
- 8/10/12
I had interest in this movie after Ernest Borgnine died. I mean saddest day of my life. I heard good things about it and bad things. The bad things I heard were how the townsfolk weren't 3 dimensional characters and the complaint of being dated. The dated part didn't bother me because well a lot of movies are and I don't care really because the time setting fascinates me to death. Well before I watched it I thought how will they pull this off? I mean a one armed man goes to a town and is antagonized by toughs such as Marvin and Borgnine. I watch the film. The after thought was oh man this is one of the most amazing films ever made. The direction was incredible and the storyline was perfect. The acting was flawless. I consider Spencer Tracy and Robert Ryan some of the most fascinating heroes and villains in cinematic history. The support fit perfectly even the menial characters such as Anne Francis (the only female in the cast) and John Ericson worked. I recommend this film to everybody. It's an excellent masterpiece and everyone should see it. I will say thanks to Ernie for being in this film or else I wouldn't have heard of it or seen it. On a side note wait for the scene when Tracy is confronted by Borgnine in the saloon. It shows the great prowess of action by director John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Ice Station Zebra)
Good Day when you see Bad Day at Black Rock
- Dale Hendricks
- 2/14/12
Though a bit dated what wasn't dated was just how good the actors of the 50s and 60s were. Compared to most of the intensely shallow people who are cast as our modern stars the cast of this movie were not only great actors most of them were also good people who were patriotic and had served in WWII. This gave them some depth of character sadly lacking today. I recently watched The Big Country last week for the fourth time and was impressed with that cast as well. Bad Day at Black Rock is in my library and I plan to watch it again later this week. The plot is well developed and as the plot unfolds the real talent of the cast just floods across the screen. In my Top Ten of movies.
Perhaps my favorite movie of all time.
- Robb
- 12/28/11
Spencer Tracy is great as always, and what a cast of well known actors. One movie I can watch again and again.
Bad Day at Black Rock (1955)
- Mr. Blandings
- 12/3/11
Wow, did I ever expect this movie to be better than this. Spencer Tracy is in stone-faced acting mode for this one as he drifts through this tediously slow, tension-less film. This movie was ahead of its time ... but only in that it feels and looks like it was filmed in the early-70s and not 1955. In other words: cheap and disjointed.
Bad Day at Black Rock
- Christine Hoard Barre
- 1/30/11
Not a false note or wasted moment in "Bad Day at Black Rock" and one of my favorites. Great acting, writing, cinematography, score, directing. One of Tracy's best, especially from this period in his career. Robert Ryan is great, too. Lots of suspense, plenty of action - all in under 90 minutes!
Good men playing bad men
- Jeff Boston
- 1/29/11
"Bad Day at Black Rock" is a suspenseful, mature, masculine movie (something Hollywood does not really produce anymore) laden with talented actors and patriotic veterans. Tracy plays a man who served our country in WW 2, while Ryan, Marvin, and Borgnine actually did. They all contributed in the Pacific Theater to defeat the hatred and aggression of totalitarian Japan (Marvin was awarded the Purple Heart). In this movie, they all play characters who contribute in trying to defeat Tracy (in town to visit a man of Japanese descent) with hatred and aggression in totalitarian Black Rock. Tonight was the 2nd time I have enjoyed this short, engrossing film. Tracy is terrific. Marvin is marvelous. The bar scene is unforgettable.
Fantastic Movie!
- Kevin
- 8/14/10
I debated whether to watch this movie or not but went ahead and did so. Wow! I had no idea what a great picture this was going to be. The fight scene was amazing and it goes to show you how well a determined and trained man can make his point. I will be adding this movie to my collection!!!
Don't Mess With Vets
- Linda Nitzschke
- 7/29/10
Loved how Macreedy showed the towns"men" in the bar why it wasn't wise to mess with a vet, even if he was older and without the use of one of his arms. Bad Day At Black Rock rocks!
Tracy stands out
- terry
- 10/5/09
Spencer Tracy proves why he is one of the top two greatest actors of all time. He can take a low budget film with a great script and turn it into a all time suspense classic.
Classic Contemporary Western
- Bruce Reber
- 1/28/09
"Bad Day At Black Rock" is a suspensful, well done thriller that except for the cars and costumes looks like it could have taken place in the 1880's instead of the 1940's. Spencer Tracy gives one of his best performances as McCreedy, the stranger who comes to town looking for his dead war buddy's father but finds hostile townspeople who are keeping a sinister secret. Robert Ryan is also very good as Smith, who has the town under his influence and who will stop at nothing to keep McCreedy from learning the truth. The rest of the cast, cinematography, music and script are all excellent. However, I have just one question - if Black Rock is supposed to be in Arizona why does the jeep have California plates? I have the DVD and watch it often.
Great 50's movie
- chuck
- 10/3/07
Wonderful movie loaded with stars,i think this movie has to be one of the best of all time,great color and scenery from the desert,wished it was on more often..
An Ensemble Cast and a Wonderful Thriller
- Dan
- 8/22/07
A really good film with suspense building right up to the climax scene. Spencer Tracy visits a small town and everyone acts like he's from outer space. Their non-friendly attitude towards him leads Spencer (the one armed war vet) believe that the town-folk have something to hide. Spencer's smarts has to keep himself alive from these estranged people. This film has the viewer engulfed with it's suspense. A good thriller from the 1950's.

Noise Pop Roundup 1: Shannon and the Clams, Die Antwoord, Glass Candy, last-minute parties
May I first say thanks to Noise Pop for bringing a sense of urgency to my concert-going behavior. I am nothing if not a festival junkie, and the sheer mass of shows that this particular festival coordinated was awe-inspiring and more than a little anxiety-provoking for those of us who feel the need to go to everything, always. Plus: badges. There is nothing like walking around feeling like you have special access to an entire city, at 24 venues in total from Bimbo's up in North Beach to the Golden Gate Park-clad California Academy of Science.
Fresh off of a week in New Orleans for Mardi Gras, I couldn't do it all. But here's how I tried:
WEDNESDAY: Die Antwoord at Regency Ballroom
This was the show I was most excited about seeing, and the South African hip-hop trio (emcees Ninja and Yolandi Vi$$er, and DJ Hi-Tek) were definitely worth their sold-out hype-age. Even if you can't get down with their ultra-aggressive lyrics, you can't quibble with Die Antwoord's showmanship – even while spinning around like a demented, shaved head-top and bounding across the stage Vi$$er and Ninja managed to hit every lyric like wow. Sadly, the show opened with DJ Hi-Tek's Mike Tyson-inspired homophobic rantings, and that was tough-impossible to get past. Is Hi-Tek gay? Who cares. Full review here.
THURSDAY: Shannon and the Clams at Cafe Du Nord
One of the greatest things about Noise Pop is that the fest brings new audience to local favorites – and I found, conjures up concert experiences that are a lot different than if you saw your Bay-Bays in the same old venue with the same old crowd as always. Such was Thursday night's lineup of the Soft Pack, Shannon and the Clams, Fidlar, and Surf Club. (Check Ryan Prendiville's review of these last two acts here) It was actually my first time catching the Clams, but seeing the group slay it at Du Nord cast them in a different light than if my first time had been moshing in a room-capacity sweaty knot at, say, the Knockout. The Clams came across as a band that is expanding its reach beyond the dark rooms of the Bay Area. After the show lead singer Shannon Shaw told us that the group was in the process of recording its next album, so yay.
FRIDAY: Glass Candy at Mezzanine
I wasn't wearing neon, but Portland's Glass Candy still moved my ass out of the upstairs VIP booth we'd somehow scammed and into the throngs for the middle and end of Ida No and Johnny Jewel's set. The Chromatics are fine, but that group's live set (which we tasted pre-Candy) was the teensiest bit slow, not compelling enough to leave the cold leather fishbowl that was the booth. Not so No and Jewel, who satisfied all the jumping grindsters with ecstatic chords and No's prancing.
SATURDAY: Big Queer Dance Party at Public Works
Headliner Big Freedia canceled in a medical emergency, but the crew behind this event decided to keep the 'big' and go along with it. Was it a Noise Pop event? Besides Freedia, the schedule, venue, and lineup had remained the same, but staff at the door told me that it was no longer part of the festival, so Noise Pop badge holders had to pay again to enter. Seemed like a boner move, but I was glad to be there once I was inside, if only to check out Double Dutchess' beautiful boys getting hyped onstage. Their raybeams were reflected in the crowd for the rest of the night – DJ Bus Station John, Stay Gold's DJ PinkLightning, and DJ Laydown (Hard French crewmember Timothy Strong in his debut on the decks) kept everything really sweaty – which was great because after that much Noise Pop I had some toxins to sweat out.

NATIONAL ROAD. A law of the Texas Congress of December 14, 1839, provided for a "National Road" to run through the settled area of the republic from Washington-on-the-Brazos to Logan's Fort on the Sabine River. A proposal to pay $500 from the empty national treasury was eliminated by an amendment to the bill that provided that the costs would be paid by the counties through which the road passed. The road was to be thirty feet wide and to follow the La Bahía Road, a well-marked route, but Jasper County worked for some time to get the route set farther to the south so that it would pass through that county. The original course was ultimately followed. See also CENTRAL NATIONAL ROAD, OLD SAN ANTONIO ROAD.

By LAURA ZUCKERMAN
SALMON -- A thunderstorm that slammed into the Salmon area Thursday night likely triggered a landslide that sent trees, rocks, mud and other debris into a key stretch of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, Salmon-Challis National Forest officials said Friday.
A private party rafting the portion of the wild and scenic river in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness managed to navigate through the blowout, which obstructed most of the river channel near Sheepeater Hot Springs, about 13 miles downstream of the Middle Fork's headwaters and the popular Boundary Creek launch site.
Forest officials said there were other unconfirmed reports of slides along Salmon River Road, the only roadway for vehicles that allows rafters to leave the Middle Fork unless they are floating to Riggins. Officials were cautioning boaters about the blowout, but not barring launches from Boundary Creek.
The controlled season on the river, which limits the number of daily launches by private and commercial parties, opened May 28 and ended Tuesday. During that same time period last year, nearly 8,000 people launched from Boundary Creek.
The storm that moved through the area also caused a widespread power outage that affected thousands in Salmon and surrounding communities. The power went out after 5 p.m. Thursday and wasn't restored until the predawn hours Friday, according to Idaho Power officials.

One wonders how long it will be before we start reading stories about people getting arrested merely for coming within eyesight or snapping photos at the entrance gate at one of these off-limits public lands the Administration of President Barack Obama is punitively closing down during the phony Federal government shutdown.
A Massachusetts newspaper reported Tuesday on the "Gestapo" treatment locals received at the hands of Federal officers on a vacation trip out to Yellowstone National Park. Unlike earlier reports from the National Mall in Washington, D.C., where veterans seemed able to exercise their collective will to thwart Park Service officials who were "guarding" barricaded monuments, these people were actually rounded up and held at gunpoint in a Yellowstone park hotel.
"Pat Vaillancourt went on a trip last week that was intended to showcase some of America's greatest treasures," John Macone of the Merrimack Valley-area Eagle-Tribune newspaper wrote Tuesday. "Instead, the Salisbury resident said she and others on her tour bus witnessed an ugly spectacle that made her embarrassed, angry and heartbroken for her country."
From the Eagle-Tribune report:
Vaillancourt was one of thousands of people who found themselves in a national park as the federal government shutdown went into effect on Oct. 1. For many hours her tour group, which included senior citizen visitors from Japan, Australia, Canada and the United States, were locked in a Yellowstone National Park hotel under armed guard.
The tourists were treated harshly by armed park employees, she said, so much so that some of the foreign tourists with limited English skills thought they were under arrest.
Well, practically speaking, weren't they?
Even before the roundup and detainment, Vaillancourt said Yellowstone park rangers showed clear signs that they'd been authorized to act swiftly in response to the Federal government shutdown. In the two days she was able to move about inside the park, a ranger accused senior citizens in her bus tour group of "recreating" for piling out of a bus to snap photos of bison.
Almost immediately, an armed ranger came by and ordered them to get back in, saying they couldn't "recreate." The tour guide, who had paid a $300 fee the day before to bring the group into the park, argued that the seniors weren't "recreating," just taking photos.
"She responded and said, 'Sir, you are recreating,' and her tone became very aggressive," Vaillancourt said.
… "Some of the Asians who were on the tour said, 'Oh my God, are we under arrest?' They felt like they were criminals."
Gordon Hodgson, the tour guide, later said the Park Service had employed "Gestapo tactics" against civilians, both American and foreign, who left the incident with a dark view that the American notion of individual liberty is quickly unraveling.
