Friday Film Review: Sita Sings the Blues
Sita Sings the Blues (2008)
Genre: Animation
Grade: A
When I put this in my Netflix queue, I had no idea how truly revolutionary it would be. Even as I started to watch it, I didn't know what was coming but found myself charmed, delighted and emotionally connected to the story and the storyteller. For, you see, both become entwined as Nina Paley tells of her marriage and its failure along with an abbreviated version of the Ramayana. WTF? you say. Yes TF I say, it's true. And we also get a healthy dose of a wonderful jazz age singer named Annette Hanshaw whose songs are just perfect to help tell the tale.
Paley uses 5 distinct styles of animation plus some amazing music – including modern Indian as well as jazz singer Hanshaw – as she winds her story together with that of Rama and his wife Sita. All the animation is fantastic and clever but my favorite are the parts narrated by Indonesian shadow puppets. The voices behind the puppets are three Indians from various parts of the country who provide the basic details of the story – though they sometimes disagree on and mess up the details of the complicated tale which leads to some comic moments as they correct each other and worry about how it will make people mad.
And then there's the Intermission! Yes, the film has an intermission and don't skip through it as it's hilarious watching the various characters head to the concession stands for popcorn, hot dogs and drinks. You can even use it as an intermission was intended if you need to.
The DVD I bought, as well as the website, has various subtitles available – including LOL – and I suggest that, at least the first time through, people watch the film with them on since the accents can be hard to understand at times if you're not used to them. There's also a commentary track that's interesting to listen to. For further details on the movie, there's a FAQ section at Paley's website for the film www.sitasingstheblues.com. There's also a blog and a wiki.
Apparently when the film was first released, there were problems with how it was viewed as a religious story as well as copyright issues with the Hanshaw songs. The songs stuff has been worked out but some viewers might still object to the way Paley chooses to portray the various people of the story. The various versions of the Ramayana are thousands of years old and though Paley doesn't tell the whole story, what she does tell is definitely from a feminist slant yet some stuff modern feminists might find hard to swallow. But it is what it is and she felt that animating it was a cathartic experience for her after the break up of her marriage.
So, you want to try it? Well, you can rent it, you can buy a copy and it's available on the internet. Yep, that's right. Paley has made it freely available to do anything with except copyright it. I know that you can watch it at the Sitasingstheblues.com site as well as youtube and the IMDB. Once I'd seen it, I had to own a copy and gladly paid for it from the website. It's amazing. It's funny. It's inventive. It's unique and I hope that people check it out and enjoy it as much as I do each time I watch it.

This is my pal Morrison... he's not much to look at but he is going to buy dinner since I gave up my Saturday to listen to his stories...LOL
WIth this being someone else's computer I am facing a big question of whether or not to clutter up his computer?!?!?! If he had the same option on my computer what would he do? So yes... I will clutter his up!
Let's go over this forecast.
The rain is the primary threat from this Sunday system will be rain. The rain will begin on Sunday night and it looks like it will last through Monday. The colder air will finally catch up on Monday night and change the remaining moisture over to snow. Light accumulations will be possible from that round.... very light.
The catch may be the rainfall!
While the amounts may not be very high... the rain will keep things on the overly moist and nasty side.
As for the "next" system... I'll have more on that once I leave the show!

Hey Congress: you don't like our immigration laws: fix it! It is your job for goodness sake! Stop dancing around the issue like spoiled kids...
Congress should only have to fix the birth right issue immediately. It is up to the other fed and state agencies to enforce the immigration laws, and to track and deport people who over extend their visa's or hopped the fence and are here illegally. Makes no difference - illegal is illegal.
It is also time for ICE to arrest and jail the company executives/managers/owners who hired illegal aliens regardless of company size. No ceo or hr manager or owner can say they did not know they were hiring illegals.

In his column titled An Irish Mirror, Paul Krugman notes "the most striking similarity between Ireland and America was "regulatory imprudence": the people charged with keeping banks safe didn't do their jobs." (emphasis mine)
The phrase "regulatory imprudence" is far to imprecise — and wimpy — to describe what took place. Imprudent, as defined by Merriam Webster, is "lacking discretion, wisdom, or good judgment." (Imprudence is the "state of being imprudent").
If the Fed was only guilty of bad judgment or lack of wisdom, we could live with that. After all, people are fallible and judgment can go awry.
But that was not what occurred; rather, under Alan Greenspan, the Fed was guilty of Nonfeasance.
According to West's Encyclopedia of Law, the definition of nonfeasance is far harsher: It is the intentional failure to perform a required duty or obligation.
When Greenspan made the decision to not regulate or oversee non-bank lenders, his choice was nonfeasance. He chose not to do something that he was bound to do as part of his official duty. (In common law, this was punishable by fines or imprisonment or both).

Water: Nonpoint Source Success Stories
Arkansas: Buffalo National River Watershed Partnerships: Partners Improve Swine Waste Management
|Story 1 | Story 2 | State Water Quality Site [BROKEN]
Sandi Formica
Environmental Preservation Division
Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality
|Primary Sources of Pollution:
|agriculture (confined animal operations)
|Primary NPS Pollutants:
|fecal coliform bacteria
|Project Activities:
|revised storm water diversions and waste collection systems
|Revised operational practices (changes in phosphorus application practices and on-site storage capacity)
|90 percent decrease in nutrient concentrations
The Buffalo River watershed in north-central Arkansas covers 860,000 acres. From the headwaters in the Boston Mountains, the Buffalo River flows unobstructed for 150 miles eastward to the confluence with the White River. Because of the unique scenic and scientific features associated with the free-flowing river, Congress established the Buffalo National River Watershed in 1972 to preserve this national treasure for future generations. The federal and state governments own 40 percent of the watershed, primarily in the headwaters and along a narrow riparian corridor of the river. About 60 percent of the basin is privately owned, including most of the larger tributaries.
The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has designated the Buffalo River an Extraordinary Resource Water and a Natural and Scenic Waterway, the highest water quality designation given by the state. Although the water quality in the Buffalo River at present is very good, several tributaries have been affected or threatened by agricultural activities. In 1992 there were 39 confined animal operations within the watershed, including 12 swine farrowing operations, one broiler operation, and 26 dairy facilities. All of the swine operations and 10 of the dairy facilities had Liquid Animal Waste Management Systems (LAWMS). At that time, the ADEQ Water Division received notice of intent from a watershed farmer to construct a 540-sow/pig farrowing operation adjacent to National Park property and less than a mile from the river. Manure land application sites for the proposed swine facility were as close as ¼ mile to the river. All of the existing watershed swine operations were located on the southern edge of the drainage basin in an area underlain by sandstone and shale. If the proposed swine facility was built, it would be the first swine operation located in such close proximity to the river and within a karst terrain.
Both citizens and resource agencies expressed concern over the construction and operation of a confined swine facility so close to the river. Personnel from the ADEQ Water and Environmental Preservation Divisions performed an investigation of confined animal operations within the watershed, visiting and evaluating 16 swine and dairy operations. Results of the watershed investigation showed that most LAWMS were not being operated and maintained in a manner that would eliminate or minimize the amount of waste leaving the farms. Subsequently, the ADEQ secured grant money to further study the problems revealed during the watershed investigation.
Project goals and methodology
The Buffalo River Swine Waste Demonstration Project was initiated in 1995 with the primary goal of protecting the high-quality water in the Buffalo National River watershed by working with the local farmers and government agencies to identify and address the problems associated with the LAWMS. This 5-year, 319-funded project evaluated existing swine liquid waste management practices and demonstrated the benefits of new or improved best management practices (BMPs) in protecting water quality. The project objectives included evaluating the effectiveness of existing LAWMS BMPs (including design, training, and management aspects) by monitoring water quality and waste management practices at cooperating farms, improving existing BMPs or implementing new BMPs, and evaluating changes in the water quality and the operation of the LAWMS as a result of improved or new BMPs implemented at cooperating farms.
Other project goals included demonstrating to farmers and various government agencies the effectiveness of proper waste management at confined animal operations in protecting water quality. Nutrient loads in surface water were estimated before and after BMP implementation. Storm water runoff studies also were conducted to document nutrient loss from manure land application sites. In addition, waste management practices were documented before and after BMP implementation through frequent site visits and farm management surveys.
Waste management and water quality improvements
New or modified BMPs were implemented at the six cooperating farms based on site-specific problems and included the following:
- Storm water diversions were improved or installed.
- All-weather access to LAWMS was improved or installed.
- Storage capacity for liquid waste was increased.
- Waste collection systems were repaired.
As a result of the new or modified BMPs, substantial improvements were documented in waste management practices. Free-board problems associated with waste storage ponds were reduced by 66 percent at cooperating farms. Overall, farmers began to manage the manure generated at their facilities for its fertilizer value, which reduced the time and expense associated with the LAWMS. Using water quality monitoring data collected on a stream (less than 1 square mile drainage area) adjacent to a poorly operated swine facility, preliminary estimates indicated that 3,000 pounds of total nitrogen and 400 pounds of total phosphorus were lost to the stream on an annual basis. Following BMP implementation, preliminary estimates indicated that nutrient loads in the stream were decreased by approximately 90 percent.
Partnerships to solve complex problems
This project involved building working relationships with watershed swine farmers, the swine industry, local Natural Resources Conservation Service staff, the Newton County Conservation District, and the Environmental Preservation, Water, and Technical Services Divisions of ADEQ to improve LAWMS operation and swine manure management. All of the partners in the project cooperated to evaluate the data generated on LAWMS and to develop BMPs. New or improved BMPs were installed by extending cost-share programs and working one-on-one with individual farmers to ensure that all aspects of the waste system were understood. Emphasis was placed on finding economical solutions to waste management problems. Other groups, such as the Arkansas Soil and Water Conservation Commission, the Arkansas Pork Producers, and the University of Arkansas, contributed a considerable amount of time, resources, and technical expertise to help make this project a success.Swine farmers in the Buffalo River watershed have successfully changed their waste management practices and are using the fertilizer benefit of the manure generated at their facilities while minimizing their impact on the environment. Information gained from this project has been presented at farmer training meetings and has helped swine producers statewide to improve their manure management practices. All of the partners participating in the project received an EPA Region 6 Partnerships for Environmental Excellence Award in 1998. The award acknowledged the contribution of each partner in cooperating to solve complex environmental problems.

A Community Approach to Managing Manure in the
Buffalo River Watershed:
Local Watershed Assistance Program Helps Dairy Farmers

Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality
|Primary Sources of Pollution:
|agriculture (dairy waste)
|Primary NPS Pollutants:
|Project Activities:
|dairy manure management practices
|manure clean-out service
|comprehensive nutrient management planning
|comprehensive local watershed assistance program
The Environmental Preservation Division of the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) was awarded a section 319 grant in 1997 to evaluate the effectiveness of "dairy manure management alternatives," designed for facilities with 100 cows or fewer, in minimizing nutrient and bacteria loads leaving farm sites. The dairy 319 project worked with dairy farmers and government agencies in the Buffalo River watershed, as well as with state and federal agencies, to develop and implement solutions to better manage manure in the watershed.
From the beginning of the dairy 319 project, the ADEQ project staff sought out cooperation with other agencies, the dairy cooperative, and dairy farmers in the Buffalo River watershed by forming a task force with representatives from all interested parties. Key relationships were developed between the ADEQ project staff and the Conservation District Boards, Natural Resources Conservation Service staff, and the dairy farmers in the watershed.
Most of the dairy farm owners in the Buffalo River watershed volunteered to participate in the dairy 319 project. The Buffalo Conservation District staff contacted farmers and requested individual meetings with them at their farms. During these meetings, the project staff explained the project to the farmers and requested their participation on a voluntary basis. In exchange for participation in the study, farmers hoped that the project would result in developing better information regarding the operation of manure management systems or finding a source of funding for improving their manure management systems.
Dairy operations and manure management
In 1994 there were 27 dairy facilities operating in the Buffalo River watershed. Recent financial difficulties have taken their toll on Arkansas dairy farmers, and today only 18 dairy facilities still operate in the watershed. Finding economic solutions to improve manure management at these small dairy facilities continues to be a challenge.
After an exhaustive investigation into the manure management practices of the dairy industry in the Buffalo River watershed, it became apparent that the 18 watershed farmers did not have the specialized equipment required to handle the different waste streams generated from the confinement of the cows at their farms. Although several individual problems were identified, such as ineffective fertilizer utilization and improper land application practices that increase the potential for contaminants to be transported in storm runoff, all of these problems originate from the lack of adequate manure handling equipment in the watershed. Therefore, the funding set aside for implementing best management practices (BMPs) in the watershed as part of the dairy 319 project was focused on solving identified manure handling problems.
Local watershed assistance program
To help accomplish the dairy 319 project goal of improving dairy manure management, partnerships were formed among the ADEQ, local NRCS, and the Buffalo Conservation District to develop a local watershed assistance program (LWAP). The program is administered through the Buffalo Conservation District office. It has been designed to provide a low-cost, effective solution to the manure handling problems identified throughout the watershed. In addition, the program will enable farmers to receive the maximum fertilizer benefits of their dairy manure while minimizing farm impacts on the environment. The LWAP includes the development of a local clean-out service, long-term clean-out scheduling, initial cost-share assistance, and comprehensive nutrient management planning.
As part of the LWAP, the Buffalo Conservation District provides a manure clean-out service for dairy farmers and an operator to maintain and operate the equipment. Easily transportable equipment for manure removal, including a side-discharge manure spreader, submersible pump, and pit agitator, will be purchased as part of the LWAP. This service provides dairy farmers in the Buffalo River watershed with a method to handle dairy manure without having to purchase and maintain specialized and seldom-used equipment. Additionally, by providing an operator, the program allows the dairy farmer more time to spend on milk production and other farm management responsibilities.
With the hope of increasing participation, up to 75 percent of the cost-share money will initially be available for watershed dairy farmers who use the program's manure handling service. To be eligible for the program, the farmer is required to develop a long-term clean-out schedule for the dairy facility. ADEQ and NRCS staff will assist participating dairy facilities with the development of the 12-month clean-out schedules. This will ensure that solids are removed within the designed storage time for each manure management system.Meetings were held to present the results of the dairy 319 project and introduce the LWAP, and they were attended by most of the dairy farmers in the watershed. Farmers in the Buffalo River watershed understand the importance of preserving water quality and were receptive to the LWAP. They realize that the program can help them economically manage and utilize dairy manure while protecting water quality in the watershed in which they live.

If you are intrigued by the challenges of planning, regulation and policy, or if you are interested in reaching out to the public through informal environmental education, the Environmental Studies concentration will serve your needs best.
Understanding and resolving environmental conflicts - conflicts that can tear communities apart - requires individuals with an interdisciplinary perspective. This perspective, which entails understanding the interactions (and potential for conflict) between social systems and natural systems, enables you to develop effective and equitable environmental policies and regulations. Similarly, in order to effectively educate the public about the environment in an informal setting, one needs to understand the challenges that face the natural world, the complexities of the natural systems and how to present these concepts effectively.
To be prepared for such roles, students in the Environmental Studies concentration take courses with faculty members representing a broad range of expertise, including geography, philosophy, political science, economics, health and sociology as well as biology, chemistry, geology, ecology, mathematics and education. Faculty members are committed to helping students integrate their various areas of study, thereby enhancing each student's ability to become a skillful environmental problem-solver.
Further integration of the various disciplines occurs during the research or internship opportunity that all students complete toward the end of their program of study.
Areas of specialization for Environmental Studies students are:

|Pulmonary thromboembolism after air travel: Two case reports, the review of literature and forensic implications.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22704553 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Air travel as a risk factor for pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is rarely described in forensic literature. Two cases of PTE after air travel are presented in this report. Each flight was intercontinental and lasted for more than 10h, resulting in typical "traveler's thrombosis" within 2weeks. In both cases, the risk factors were age, duration of flight and also peripheral circulation problems caused by heart (hypertension, arrhythmia), and varicose veins failures. Possible pathophysiological mechanisms of thrombus formation in these cases were blood flow stasis from prolonged recumbence, reduced function of the lower leg muscle pump, dehydration, and hypobaric hypoxia. Legal aspects of death due to PTE after air travel and possible responsibility of air companies are discussed.

1999: A Vision of Heaven
To ride a rainbow
And let my soul sweep infinity;
To exist in the minute moment
Of peace and divinity.
My spirit dancing
To the rhythm of nature's melody;
Then to rest…
In a dewdrop's silence.
Sunlight revitalizes my heart
The moon absorbs my dreams;
As the universe
Is my cradle.
With the stars as my nightlight,
The clouds my feathered pillow,
And God's love:
My lullaby.

A student's learning does not end at the school bell. Even though a child spends most of their time outside of the classroom, educators can keep students engaged by offering high-quality after-school programs to extend the learning day.
Governor Mark Dayton has proclaimed October 23 Lights on Afterschool Day, connecting Minnesota to a national celebration of after-school programming. More than 90 after-school programs throughout the state will host events on Thursday, and in recognition of this, the lights on the I-35W Mississippi River Bridge and the Lowry Avenue Bridge in Minneapolis will glow gold tomorrow evening. The iconic Empire State Building in New York City will shine with the same color that night, connecting the Midwest to celebrations across the country.
This will be the 15th annual Lights on Afterschool celebration, which is organized by The Afterschool Alliance, an organization dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of after-school programs and advocating for more investment in them.
ST. PAUL, MN — More than 40 schools statewide are participating in International Walk to School Day Wednesday, Oct. 8, to encourage students, parents, teachers, community members and organizations to get out on sidewalks and trails. The event is anticipated to draw participation from more than 4,000 schools from all 50 states, plus Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, as well as 40 countries around the world.
This event is an opportunity for families with children who typically ride a school bus, and who live in areas with bike friendly paths to school, to walk and bike to school. Many schools participate by arranging for school buses to drop off students at a nearby park or other safe locations to finish the trip on foot. The drop-off option also can be used for students who are usually driven to school in private vehicles.
"Participating with school children emphasizes the importance of increasing physical activity, teaching pedestrian safety, reducing traffic congestion and building connections between families, schools and communities," -Nicole Campbell, Minnesota Department of Transportation's Safe Routes to School coordinator.
Last year's International Walk to School Day at Lyndale Community School in Minneapolis
ST. PAUL, MN – With the first month behind them, thousands of students across the state are settling into their classrooms for the 2014-15 school year. Governor Dayton visited Duluth today, meeting with kindergarten students and teachers at Congdon Park Elementary.
Since 2011, the Governor and the Minnesota Legislature have invested $895 million in schools. This year, more than 55,000 of Minnesota's youngest learners will benefit from free all-day kindergarten, while others will benefit from high-impact initiatives designed to increase literacy and close the achievement gap.
"As Minnesota's students and teachers return to the classroom, I wish them all a successful school year," said Governor Dayton. "During the past four years, the Legislature and I have worked to make high-impact investments that will improve academic achievement and prepare our students for future success."

Students who master the fundamentals of reading at an early age are better prepared for future academic success. As our kids are exposed to more advanced concepts their ability to learn becomes increasingly linked to their literacy. In math classes, students may be asked to do word problems, while in a science or history class they may be assigned a reading out of a textbook – all of which require strong language skills.
To help our students develop the strong reading skills they need, we launched the bipartisan "Read Well by Third Grade" in 2011. Since then, we have invested $150 million in high-impact literacy programs that helping ensure all Minnesota students are developing the reading skills they need for academic success and bright futures.
Governor Dayton serves lunch to students alongside Coon Rapids staff.
Ensuring that Minnesota students are ready to learn when they enter the classroom is critical to improving academic progress and preparing kids for bright futures. To help guarantee that our students have access to healthy meals, we invested $4 million in school breakfast and lunch programs this year. In addition to ensuring no Minnesota student is denied access to a healthy meal at lunchtime, the funding also will provide all 64,000 Minnesota Kindergarten students breakfast.
"No child in Minnesota should be denied a healthy lunch," said Governor Dayton. "We cannot expect our students to succeed on an empty stomach."
Access to higher education is crucial to ensure that Minnesota has a competitive workforce that is prepared to fill the jobs of the future. That is why the budget enacted by Governor Dayton and the legislature makes a significant investment in college affordability and improving our state colleges and universities. By investing $250 million in higher education, with $46 million going to direct financial aid for students, the budget brings the dream of a higher education within reach for even more Minnesotans.
Governor Dayton Mingles with Minnesota Youth
Governor Mark Dayton speaks with students from Minnesota State University, Mankato.
After nearly a decade of cuts to higher education funding, tuition skyrocketed at the University of Minnesota and Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU). From 2001 to 2014, tuition at the U of M more than doubled from $5,002 to $13,626 for state residents. Left unchecked, ever increasing tuition costs and increasing debt are a tax on the future of Minnesota students and a drag on our state's economy.
Access to a high-quality education should be available to all Minnesotans and not just students who can afford to take on costly loans. In 2013, we froze tuition at the University of Minnesota and the MnSCU systems schools to halt the trend of double-digit cost hikes. This helped make college more affordable for 282,000 students.
Minnesotans agree that everyone who works hard in school deserves access to higher education. This tuition freeze begins to restore balance in Minnesota's educational system. It also will help ensure our students for the future economy.
As Minnesota students return to the classroom, our littlest learners are set to benefit from some big new investments. In 2013, we made a historic investment in all-day Kindergarten, ensuring every Minnesota student has access, free of charge. After a year to get ready, all Minnesota schools are now offering all-day Kindergarten to our families this fall.
This investment is sure to make a big difference for our students. All-Day Kindergarten has a proven track record of success, preparing young learners for success in school.
"I'm in college because I'm doing it for me. I'm doing it for my future, my kids, years from now. I'm also doing it because my family back home wants me to succeed. So it's about me, it's about my future, and it's about my family back home."
This is just one of the many voices represented in "Shaping your Future: Why Minnesota Families Choose College." The Minnesota Department of Education partnered with Twin Cities Public Television (tpt) to produce this series of videos about the importance of planning for career and college. College students from all over Minnesota were interviewed about their experiences growing up, the challenges they faced, how they wanted their lives to be different from their parents' lives, and how they felt they wanted more for themselves. Their stories are featured in individual 2-3 minute videos, and there are also stories on the importance of parental support when planning for college and career. Stop by MDE's booth at the fair to check out the videos, or watch them on our YouTube page at http://bit.ly/mndeptedtv.
Governor Dayton meeting with the Cannon Falls High School Band
With the first day of school just weeks away for many districts, Governor Mark Dayton met yesterday with nearly 300 school superintendents from across Minnesota to discuss the status of education in our state. Governor Dayton reviewed the progress Minnesota has made over the last four years to reinvest in our schools, support our students and teachers, and ensure that all children have access to a world-class education.
"When I campaigned four years ago, I talked about a better Minnesota in general," said Governor Dayton. "In particular, with education I said that I would set aside money and increase spending in real dollars for education every year, with no excuses and no exceptions. I'm proud and pleased to say that I've kept that promise."
After a decade of stagnant funding and budget cuts, Governor Dayton has reinvested in our schools. Since taking office in 2011, Governor Dayton has invested $895 million in E-12 education, paid back all the $2.8 billion previously borrowed from our schools, and frozen tuition or increased financial aid for more than 482,000 Minnesota college students and graduates. These major investments will give Minnesota students the high-quality education they need to succeed in school and life and compete in today's global economy.

Residents speak at DASD meeting
Thursday, December 6, 2012
By Ian Erickson
Staff Writer
DUBOIS - Last night, DuBois Area School Board held its reorganizational meeting and heard from concerned residents about the proposed injection well on Highland Street Extension.
During the board's reorganization, Thomas Repine was re-elected president. Repine said, "One thing I want to improve is communication. We need to do that, and that's going to be a goal."
Also, Scott Farrell was re-elected vice president; Beverly Kurts, Pennsylvania School Board Association representative; and Lloyd McCreight, PSBA legislative chairman.
There were also two Jefferson County-DuBois Area Vocational Technical School representative positions that needed to be voted in. The first was for the remainder of a three-year term expiring December 2013, which is to replace Melissa Mowery. Farrell was elected to fill this position.
The second was for a three-year term expiring December 2015. McCreight was nominated, and Roland Bechtel nominated Patty Fish (current alternate until December 2014) but the nomination failed because no one seconded. This resulted in McCreight being elected.
McCreight said he appreciated the nomination because he is still completing some work at Jeff Tech, which he is looking to continue. He noted he is helping plan a new program and hopes to have it going next fall.
In response to the Jeff Tech positions, Repine said, "I'd like to every month or every other month get a report back on what's going on down at Jeff Tech." He added that he wants everyone to be more informed.
During public comment, Darlene Marshall spoke on behalf of the Highland Street Extension residents opposing the proposed injection well. She noted she was at the meeting asking for school board representation at Monday's hearing, which is at the Brady Township Community Center at 7 p.m.
Marshall said there is $13 million worth of property in a one-mile radius, which means this involves the taxpayers. She said that concerns of the residents include coal mining in the area and the deep gas wells.
She said that during the hearing, residents' concerns will be heard about underground sources of water and numerous private water wells.
Following Marshall, another resident also voiced their displeasure with the proposed well. She mentioned that the well could lead to more truck traffic and longer hours of heavy traffic.
Repine asked Sam Kirk Jr., business manager, if the injection well was like a business and something they could tax. Kirk said, if the well has any type of infrastructure, and permits, they could assess that and tax it. He said that he is not sure what the well would entail.
Repine told the residents he will be attending the hearing.
The board approved the following dates for 2013 work sessions, which are at 7 p.m.: Jan. 17 (5 p.m.), Feb. 21, March 21, April 18, May 9, June 13, Aug. 15, Sept. 19 and Oct. 17. Board members also approved the following regular meetings, which are also at 7 p.m.: Dec. 12, 2012, Jan. 23, Feb. 27, March 27, April 24, May 15, June 19, July 24, Aug. 21, Sept. 25, Oct. 23, Nov. 20 and Dec. 4 (reorganization).
Repine told the board members he would like to begin putting two people in each board committee, a chairperson and another member.
He also suggested having more committee meetings this year, and noted there are upcoming transportation issues that will have to be discussed.
DuBois Area School Board's next meeting is Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. at the administrative building.

Like the blood vessels of the heart (coronary arteries), the carotid arteries also develop atherosclerosis, the build-up of fat and cholesterol deposits, called plaque, on the inside of the arteries. Over time, the build-up narrows the artery, decreases blood flow to the brain and can lead to a stroke. Read more about carotid artery disease.
Carotid Artery Anatomy with Angiography
Carotid angiography, also called carotid angio or an arteriogram, is an invasive X-ray imaging procedure used to detect the presence of narrowing or blockage (atherosclerosis) in the carotid arteries and determine your risk for future stroke.
Carotid angiography may be performed when carotid artery disease is suspected, based on the results of other tests, such as a carotid duplex ultrasound, computed tomography angiogram (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA).
Carotid angioplasty is a non-surgical procedure performed after the diagnostic angiogram. The carotid angioplasty procedure can be performed the same day as the diagnostic angiogram or days or weeks after the angiogram.
During angioplasty, a balloon catheter is guided to the area of the blockage or narrowing. When the balloon is inflated, the fatty plaque or blockage is compressed against the artery walls to improve blood flow.
During the angioplasty procedure, a carotid stent (a small, metal mesh tube) is placed inside the carotid artery at the site of the blockage and provides support to keep the artery open.
For patients who meet certain eligibility criteria, carotid stenting offers a less invasive approach than carotid endarterectomy, the traditional surgical treatment for carotid artery blockages. Carotid stenting can be performed while the patient is awake, reducing recovery time.
A medication such as heparin may be given during the procedure to reduce the risk of blood clots. You also may need to take aspirin and/or Plavix (clopidogrel bisulfate) for three to five days before the procedure and for four to six weeks after the procedure. Your doctor or nurse will give you specific instructions about what you can and cannot eat or drink prior to the procedure.
First, the doctor anesthetizes or numbs the area where the introducer sheath will be inserted. The sheath is a thin, hollow tube that is inserted into a blood vessel in the leg (femoral approach) or arm (brachial approach).
A long, narrow tube called a catheter is inserted through the sheath, and is guided through the aorta to the carotid artery with the aid of a special X-ray machine.
Some patients may have a second sheath placed in the leg or arm vein where a temporary pacemaker wire is placed in the heart to regulate the heart rhythm during the procedure.
Contrast material is injected through the catheter and X-ray movies are created as the contrast material moves through the carotid arteries (vessels that provide circulation to your brain). The digital photographs of the contrast material are used to identify the site of the narrowing or blockage.
If the diagnostic tests show severe narrowing or a blockage in the carotid artery, the carotid angioplasty and stenting procedure may be performed to open the artery, or surgery may be recommended.
A specially designed guide wire with a filter is placed beyond the site of the narrowing or blockage in the carotid artery. Once the filter is in place, a small balloon catheter is guided to the area of the blockage. When the balloon is inflated, the fatty plaque or blockage is compressed against the artery walls and the diameter of the blood vessel is widened (dilated) to increase blood flow. The balloon is removed and the stent is placed inside the artery to widen the opening and support the artery wall.
Endotex Carotid Stent
SMART Nitinol Stent
Guidant ACCULINK Carotid Stent System
After the stent is placed, an angiogram is performed to confirm that the stent has completely expanded and the narrowing or blockage has been corrected. Often, a second balloon catheter is inflated to ensure the stent is maximally opened. The stent stays in place permanently and acts as a scaffold to support the artery and keep it open. After several weeks, the artery heals around the stent.
In clinical trials at Cleveland Clinic, several types of carotid stents have been used along with a device called the embolic protection device (EPD). The EPD looks like an umbrella or wind sock and contains a basket to catch plaque particles dislodged during the stenting procedure. Catching these particles prevents them from traveling in the blood to the brain and reduces the risk of a blood clot or stroke.
The stenting procedure has been performed in clinical trials at Cleveland Clinic since the procedure was introduced in 1994 as an investigational treatment for carotid artery disease.
In 2004, the carotid stenting procedure was approved by the FDA as a treatment option for select patients who have carotid artery stenosis and meet certain criteria. The procedure is approved for patients who are experiencing symptoms, have a carotid artery that is blocked 70 percent or more, and for whom surgery would be highly risky.
Research is still ongoing to compare the results of the carotid stenting procedure with that of the carotid endarterectomy surgery. Most recently, a large randomized trial called the CREST trial compared the two treatment options and found that there were no significant differences in major risks of the two treatments.

If the carotid stenting procedure is recommended as a treatment option, you will be evaluated to determine if you meet the eligibility requirement for this procedure. Some carotid stenting procedures are performed as research procedures. You may also ask your doctor if you meet the criteria to participate in a research protocol or clinical trial.
If you are an eligible candidate for the carotid angioplasty and stenting procedure, your doctor and nurse will give you more information about what to expect before, during and after the procedure.
Some carotid stenting procedures are covered by Medicare and private insurance companies, but not all stenting procedures are covered. It is best to check with your insurance provider about your specific policy coverage.
Yes. You will awake and conscious during the entire procedure. The doctor will use a local anesthetic to numb the catheter insertion site.
Carotid angiography, angioplasty and stenting are performed in a special laboratory procedure room.
The procedure is performed by a specially-trained interventional cardiologist, vascular invasive physician, or vascular surgeon.
The procedure usually lasts about two hours, but the preparation and recovery time add several hours. Please plan to stay at Cleveland Clinic all day for the procedure, and remain in the hospital overnight.
Your doctor will discuss the specific risks and potential benefits of the procedure with you. The risks vary, depending on the severity of your disease, location of the blockage, whether you've had a previous stroke and the presence of other medical conditions.
Some of the possible risks include:
There may be other possible risks. When you meet with your doctor, please ask questions to make sure you understand why the procedure is recommended and what the potential risks are.
The sheath may remain in place or a vascular plug or suture may be used to achieve hemostasis.
You will be required to lay flat (without bending your legs) after the sheath is removed. This is necessary to prevent bleeding. You may receive medication to reduce discomfort. Your doctor will determine how long you will have to lay flat, which could be from two to six hours.
Plan on staying overnight in the hospital after the procedure. You will be evaluated by your doctor, have a neurological exam, and have other tests, such as a carotid ultrasound, to evaluate the results of the procedure. Your doctor will discuss the results of the procedure with you and your family.
Before you go home, you will be given instructions about your medications, diet, activity, and when to call your doctor.
Your doctor will prescribe aspirin and Plavix (clopidogrel bisulfate) to take for one month after the procedure. These medications help prevent blood clots from forming at the site where the stent was placed. Follow your doctor's instructions about how and when to take these medications. Do not stop taking these medications without first talking to your doctor.
You will need to take it easy for a few days after the procedure. You may climb stairs, but use a slower pace. Do not strain during bowel movements.
Gradually increase your activities until you reach your normal activity level by the end of the week.
Restenosis is a return of a blockage or a re-narrowing in the treated carotid artery. It is more likely to occur in the first six to 12 months after treatment, so keeping your follow-up appointments is important. Restenosis is caused by the accumulation of scar tissue at the treatment site. The rate of restenosis, as reported in current clinical research, is one percent per year.
If you have symptoms similar to what you experienced before the procedure, call your doctor as soon as the symptoms occur.
For most people, the carotid angioplasty and stenting procedure increases blood flow to the brain and decreases the risk of a stroke. Although the carotid stenting procedure opens up a blocked carotid artery, it does not CURE carotid artery disease. You will still need to focus on reducing your risk factors and making certain lifestyle changes to prevent future disease development or progression.
To achieve the best results, you must be committed to living a healthy lifestyle that includes quitting smoking, taking medications as prescribed, taking and recording your blood pressure, following a heart-healthy diet, managing high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes and following up as recommended with your healthcare team.

Students will share their research and creative scholarship in posters, presentations, and other projects. They will also participate in musical performances, a speech contest sponsored by Phi Beta Kappa, and other expressions of intellectual engagement.
Watch: A Celebration of Scholarship
About the Symposium
Colby's faculty voted to create CLAS to extend the positive impact of its predecessor — the Colby Undergraduate Research Symposium. By dedicating a full day to student scholarship, rather than multiple days when presentations competed with class time, students will be able to engage with faculty and the community in more direct and focused ways. The event will be launched the preceding evening in the Colby Museum of Art, with a celebration of the arts. Wednesday, April 29, will feature many forms of artistic expression — music, dance, theater, visual arts, creative writing, etc. — to highlight creative scholarship at Colby.

About legislation H.R. 2149, S. 1158 (111th Congress):
Investigators, clinicians, and families are working to find a treatment or cure for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The SMA Treatment Acceleration Act supports these efforts with federal funding. The legislation authorizes federal funding in order to:
- Upgrade and unify SMA clinical trials sites and establish a national clinical trials network for SMA.
- Establish a Data Coordinating Center to provide expert assistance and advice to SMA clinical trials sites.
- Expand and intensify federally supported research programs with respect to preclinical translational research related to SMA.
- Enhance the SMA patient registry for expanded research on the epidemiology of SMA.
- Establish an Interagency SMA Research Coordinating Committee, consisting of representatives from relevant government agencies and the public, to coordinate government activities relating to SMA, develop a comprehensive strategy for improving and expanding SMA research, make recommendations to strengthen collaborative research across multiple institutes at National Institutes of Health (NIH), and identify barriers to the development of drugs for SMA treatments.
- Promote collaborative research at the NIH to ensure cooperation across multiple institutes regarding SMA-related research.
- Establish and implement a program for providing information and education on SMA to health professionals and the general public related to advances in the screening, diagnosis and treatment of SMA, and the provision of care to SMA patients.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a hereditary disorder that destroys the nerves controlling voluntary muscle movement. It is the No. 1 genetic killer of children under age 2. SMA is a relatively common "rare disorder." It is estimated that SMA occurs in about 1 in every 6,000 births. Approximately 1 in 40 individuals (7.5 million Americans) carries the gene that causes SMA, making it the second most common autosomal recessive genetic disorder. This incidence rate shows neither racial nor gender bias.
Presently, there is no known treatment for SMA, but there have been several exciting research breakthroughs over the past decade. Among more than 600 neurological disorders, SMA has been identified by the National Institutes of Health as being one of the diseases closest to treatment based on scientists' advanced genetic understanding of the disease.
The SMA Treatment Acceleration Act provides federal support to complement the substantial private funding that national nonprofit organizations are investing to find a treatment for SMA. Passage of this landmark legislation will enable investigators to mount national clinical trials to demonstrate that identified therapeutics are safe and effective for people with SMA.
Legislative support:
In the previous Congress, similar legislation was introduced and received terrific support. The House bill was sponsored by Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., and had 70 co-sponsors, including 49 Democrats and 21 Republicans. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., sponsored the Senate bill which had 19 co-sponsors (15 Democrats, two Independents and two Republicans).
On the record:
- House Dear Colleague Letter from Rep. Kennedy and Rep. Cantor
- Senate Dear Colleague Letter from Sen. Stabenow and Sen. Isakson
- Scientist and Clinician Letter of Support for the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act to Sen. Stabenow and Sen. Isakson

The Jellyfish Database Initiative (JeDI) is a scientifically-coordinated global database dedicated to gelatinous zooplankton (members of the Cnidaria, Ctenophora and Thaliacea) and associated environmental data. The database holds 476,000 quantitative, categorical, presence-absence and presence only records of gelatinous zooplankton spanning the past four centuries (1790-2011) assembled from a variety of published and unpublished sources. Gelatinous zooplankton data are reported to species level, where identified, but taxonomic information on phylum, family and order are reported for all records. Other auxiliary metadata, such as physical, environmental and biometric information relating to the gelatinous zooplankton metadata, are included with each respective entry. JeDI has been developed and designed as an open access research tool for the scientific community to quantitatively define the global baseline of gelatinous zooplankton populations and to describe long-term and large-scale trends in gelatinous zooplankton populations and blooms. It has also been constructed as a future repository of datasets, thus allowing retrospective analyses of the baseline and trends in global gelatinous zooplankton populations to be conducted in the future. Global records on gelatinous zooplankton for the past 200 years. 2015-03-09T00:00:00Z Series 4: Aggregation of Thalassiosira weissflogii as a function of pCO2, temperature and bacteria http://hdl.handle.net/1912/6845 Series 4: Aggregation of Thalassiosira weissflogii as a function of pCO2, temperature and bacteria Passow, Uta; Seebah, Shalin Increasing Transparent Exopolymer Particle (TEP) formation during diatom blooms as a result of elevated temperature and pCO2 have been suggested to result in enhanced aggregation and carbon flux, therewith potentially increasing the sequestration of carbon by the ocean. We present experimental results on TEP and aggregate formation by Thalassiosira weissflogii (diatom) in the presence or absence of bacteria under two temperature and three pCO2 scenarios. During the aggregation phase of the experiment TEP formation was elevated at the higher temperature (20ºC vs. 15ºC), as predicted. However, in contrast to expectations based on the established relationship between TEP and aggregation, aggregation rates and sinking velocity of aggregates were depressed in warmer treatments, especially under ocean acidification conditions. If our experimental findings can be extrapolated to natural conditions, they would imply a reduction in carbon flux and potentially reduced carbon sequestration after diatoms blooms in the future ocean. The Series 4 Experiment, Aggregation of Thalassiosira weissflogii as a function of pCO2, temperature and bacteria, is made up of 2 phases. The Acclimatisation Phase and the Aggregation Phase. The Acclimatisation Phase has two components – The Carbonate System data and the Cell Counts Data. The Aggregation Phase also has two components – The Carbonate System + TEP data and the Sinking Velocity data.

Original recipe yields 6 servings
Based on a 2,000 calorie dietSee full nutrition
This was an excellent base recipe. I added a couple dashes of worcestershire sauce and habanero sauce to spice it up a bit. I will definately be using this recipe again.
Delicious!!!!!!!!! Comfort FOOD... I also added Diced pears And topped it off with sherry! Yummy.
It was terrible. Bland didn't really have any taste to it. Not really anything to make it special. blah. I waisted my time and money on this one.

So the landlord gives us a call and says he wants to sell the place we're in, and is giving us first right of refusal. Have sort of been thinking about buying for a bit, but were waiting for the cheese and kisses to finish her studies and get a job.
So now I'm selling shares (never had to do that before) and call in loans and put in tax returns (yeah I'm slack) to scrape the deposit together, first home buyers grant is taken into consideration - I'm pretty sure we'll make it - just. But I'm still extremely nervous - Have never bought a house before.
It's just me and the landlord, no estate agents involved. I'm talking to mortgage brokers and looking for a solicitor. My head is swimming, so much to take in.
The good thing is, the bikes will have paid for storage versus rented storage now, and I'll be able to put some proper brackets on the garage wall. The bad thing is, I'll always be riding up this bloody hill to get home!

Noah Verellen, a junior, waits for Daniell Cebula to cast his vote during a mock election Thursday at Franklin High School in Livonia. The goal is to introduce students to the ins and outs of voting.
- Filed Under
Nick Dibble stood ready to keep any large crowds from getting too close to the ballot box.
But it stayed calm during the mock election Thursday morning, so the junior at Livonia's Franklin High School -- who wore a dark suit, sunglasses and earpiece fit for a Secret Service agent -- focused his energy on answering questions from other students about the voting process.
For Dibble, who was volunteering his assistance, the election had already produced at least one surprise. ...

@Andy Ansell, if Merc were worried about Hamilton's fuel and getting both cars home, then why not instruct Hamilton not to re-pass Rosberg after Rosberg made like 3 or 4 successful passes on Hamilton?
They wanted Hamilton to score maximum points.
If they were ambivalent to the finish order, they would have told Hamilton to just let Rosberg by. Rosberg was coasting behind him and getting bored with the grandma pace.

Truman Hotel Illness Still Unknown
Posted by Warren Krech on March 22, 2013
We still don't know for sure why so many people got sick at Jefferson City's Truman Hotel last week. As many as 80 people became ill during a coroner's conference there. Two attendees did test positive for the flu, but health department officials can't confirm that's what caused the problems. They have said it doesn't appear the illness had anything to do with food served to the conference attendees, but the investigation continues.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted about my search for a set of Tim Holtz Fractured Dolls, which I wanted to buy and make quilts for.
My order came, and Sunday night I made them a little quilt.
These dolls are teeny-tiny. The larger one is only about three inches tall. I wanted a quilt with "real" pieced blocks, as small as I could make them. These nine-patches finish at 1 1/2" square. And the top only took three left over Jelly Roll strips -- one dark and two matching light prints.
Want to make your own?
From one light strip, cut four 1 x 14" strips. From one dark strip, cut five 1 x 14" strips. From the second light strip, cut twelve 2" squares. (If you're working with yardage or scraps instead of precut 2 1/2" strips, just cut it into the 1" and 2" strips that these instructions call for.)
Sew the 1" strips into the three sets shown and carefully press open. The pieced strips should measure 2" wide. Cut each strip set into thirteen 1" sections.
Assemble those sections into thirteen nine patch blocks. If your cutting and piecing are completely accurate, the unfinished blocks should measure exactly 2" square. A lot of mine didn't, but I'm making a quilt for a broken plastic doll, so I just concentrated on making my points match as best I could and it came out fine.
Lay out the blocks on a scrap of batting to keep them organized while you assemble the top.
Press the top well, then cut a piece of backing fabric the same size as your top, which should measure 8" square. I didn't want to mess with binding on something this tiny (it's a quilt for broken dolls, not a mug rug!), so I "birthed" the doll quilt.
Lay the top face up, then the backing face down, then a piece of thin white flannel. Sew around the whole sandwich 1/4" from the edge, leaving a 2-3" opening for turning. You can find more details about birthing a baby (or doll) quilt at Sunshower Quilts.
To keep the quilting from overwhelming the nine patch blocks, I quilted diagonal lines across the setting squares. Once I decide whether or not this is the quilt for my fractured dolls, I plan on attaching them to the quilt.
I wish I could find some of the real thing, but I'm too practical to spend what they're asking on ebay.... I think...
