Episiotomy and Perineal Tears
An episiotomy (say "eh-pih-zee-AH-tuh-mee") is a cut the doctor or midwife makes in the perineum (say "pair-uh-NEE-um"), which is the area between the vagina and anus. It is done to help deliver the baby or to help prevent the muscles and skin from tearing.
The cut is made just before the baby's head comes out of the birth canal. It is stitched up after the birth.
When is an episiotomy needed?
There are times when an episiotomy is needed—for example, if the baby's heart rate drops too much during pushing or if the baby's position is causing problems. The decision cannot be made until delivery. Episiotomies are more common with first-time deliveries.
Routine episiotomy is not recommended. Experts say that episiotomy:1
- Usually is not needed, especially during routine births.
- Does not tend to heal faster than a perineal tear. And it often causes more pain.
- Can cause more damage to the muscles around the vagina and rectum than a tear does.
In the past, episiotomy was a very common part of childbirth. Many doctors no longer do episiotomies routinely. But a few still do. If you have a concern about this, talk to your doctor or midwife ahead of time.
Can you prevent perineal tears?
It's not uncommon for the perineum to tear during birth. But there are steps you can take to help prevent this:1, 2
- Pay attention to your position during labor. Different positions may put less pressure on your perineum. You may feel more comfortable sitting upright, lying on your side, or getting down on your hands and knees, for example.
- Talk to your birthing coach ahead of time so you agree on when and how hard you should push.
- Have someone provide perineal support. This means pushing against the perineum to protect it from tearing as the baby's head stretches it. This is sometimes done with a hot, moist cloth.
- Practice perineal massage. This type of massage makes the tissue around the vagina more flexible. Some studies show that women who massage this area daily during the last part of their pregnancy are less likely to have tearing.2
Recovery from an episiotomy or perineal tear
If you had an incision (episiotomy) or a tear in the area between your vagina and anus (perineum) during delivery, your doctor or nurse-midwife will repair it with stitches, using a local anesthetic. An ice pack will be placed against your perineum to ease pain and swelling.
Recovery from an episiotomy or tear can be uncomfortable or quite painful, depending on how deep and long the incision or tear is. Pain typically affects sitting, walking, urinating, and bowel movements for at least a week. Your first bowel movement may be quite painful. An episiotomy or tear is usually healed in about 4 to 6 weeks.
To reduce pain and promote healing:
- Keep an ice pack on your perineal area.
- Try an anesthetic spray.
- Have regular sitz baths in a tub of warm, shallow water.
- Take pain medicine. Some pain medicines can be constipating, so ask your health professional for a formulation that includes a stool softener.
- Take stool softeners and drink lots of fluids to help soften stools and ease pain.
- Use warm water from a squeeze bottle to keep the perineal area clean. Pat it dry with gauze or a sanitary wipe. Only wipe your perineal area from front to back.

Philippe Halsman's insightful portrait of Marilyn Monroe reveals the human behind the glamour. Fleeing to America during the Paris Nazi invasion with only a suitcase and a camera, Halsman was soon published on a record 101 "Life" covers, and set the standard for photography of celebrities, intellectuals and politicians. His portrait of Marilyn Monroe is an inspirational image of the strength, determination and hard work that forged a goddess.

Philippe Halsman set new standards for celebrity photography, combining Surrealism and psychology to help pioneer experimental photography. Halsman (1906 – 1979) fled to America with only a camera and a suitcase during the Nazi invasion of Paris, and was soon published on a record 101 "Life" magazine covers. Halsman provoked celebrities to reveal their inner self, and was renowned for cracking their facades by photographing them jumping. He also collaborated with painter Salvador Dali for 30 years, producing a famous photo of Dali, cats, water and furniture suspended in midair.

Monthly Iowa Learning Farms Webinar Series Continues in 2013
AMES, Iowa — Iowa Learning Farms will continue its monthly educational webinar series in 2013. Webinars are held on the third Wednesday of each month, beginning at 11:30 a.m. through Adobe Connect. All that is needed is a computer with Internet access. The topics discussed will be beneficial for technical service providers, watershed project coordinators, extension specialists and others interested in the topic of the month.
The January webinar will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 16, and will feature Jon Wolseth and Jacqueline Comito, anthropologists working with water quality issues. Their webinar presentation is titled, "The State's Role in Water Quality: Soil and Water Conservation District Commissioners and the Agricultural Status Quo."
The continued transformation of Iowa farmland is intimately linked to state policies and government subsidies. These initiatives encourage farmers to alter their farming methods and the landscape for the development of better conservation ethics, soil erosion prevention and water quality improvement. Local-level, nominally elected politicians and Soil and Water Conservation District commissioners are the primary point of contact farmers have with the state. While SWCD commissioners are charged with evaluating farmers' eligibility for government assistance, they have become more than implementers of social policy. Through the establishment of funding priorities, they are also policy creators.
In this webinar, Wolseth explores how SWCD commissioners implicitly support intensive agricultural production, allowing farmers to feel more secure about their methods of production. He will also discuss how the commissioners play a vital role in maintaining the agricultural status quo by assuring farmers that they are doing their part in improving soil and water quality.
Wolseth is an independent consultant working in central Iowa. Over the last two years, he has collaborated with Comito and Lois Wright Morton on water quality issues in Iowa. He has co-authored three forthcoming academic journal articles along with ILF publications "Water Quality Matters to Us All" and "Watershed-based Community Assessments." In addition to his work in Iowa, he has conducted long-term research projects in Latin America investigating the intersection between children and youth, peer socialization and learning behavior. Wolseth has numerous publications based on this work including a book published in 2011 and a subsequent book that will be released in 2013. He is currently pursuing a professional degree in Community and Regional Planning at Iowa State University.
Through ISU Extension and Outreach, Comito heads several water quality initiatives: Iowa Learning Farms, Watershed Community Assessment project and Water Rocks!. Comito says that emotions and personal choices have as much of an impact on how people treat our soil and water, as do knowledge and economics. Her work aims to bring awareness, and ultimately, change to attitudes and behaviors toward water quality.

One of the few old-time hardware stores still around will close up shop next month.
Van's Hardware in Greenville has been in business for 60 years.
Van Everett and his wife have owned the store for the past 30 years. Everett's parents started the business and also had if for 30 years, naming it after him.
Everett says he and his wife have been looking to retire for a while. He says he'll miss the customers most of all and knows they'll miss Van's Hardware, too. Everett says, "The word 'good service' is hard to come by, it's hard to keep. But, we've earned it."
Originally, Van's Hardware was located on Greene Street, but was re-located to Highway 33 after Hurricane Floyd.
Everett says if April comes around and they still have a significant amount of merchandise left, they may hold an auction for the remaining items.

The Problem
More than 15 million school-age children are left to their own devices after 3 p.m., yet millions of parents report they would enroll their kids in after-school and summer programs if only they were available. This is an enormous missed opportunity for learning and enrichment during "out-of-school time" (OST), especially for children most in need.
How We Are Tackling It
Typically OST programming is fragmented, with the many varied after school programs and government agencies and private groups that finance them operating in isolation from one another. In 2003, Wallace began working in Boston, Chicago, New York City, Providence, and Washington, D.C. to help coordinate the after-school workings of these groups – creating citywide "systems" of OST that could support better programs and increase access to them. In late 2010, a RAND evaluation said the cities' work had provided "a proof of principle" that OST systems hold promise. Then, in early 2012, Wallace announced "next generation" grants in nine cities to further develop systems already begun in those communities: Baltimore, Denver, Fort Worth, Grand Rapids, Jacksonville, Louisville, Nashville, Philadelphia and St. Paul.
Our after school strategy is three-pronged:
In a separate Chicago initiative, Wallace is trying to help out-of-school time providers overcome a little-recognized barrier to offering more and better OST programs – weakness in financial management. The effort provides financial management training and assistance to nonprofits and funds a forum for state, philanthropic and OST leaders to find ways to reduce common financial reporting and reimbursement burdens.
Some of the Research Informing Our Work
Hours of Opportunity, by the RAND Corporation, describes the promise and challenges in the Wallace-supported system-building efforts and examines the use of data for OST systems. A Place to Grow and Learn details Wallace's OST system idea. The Cost of Quality Out-of-School-Time Programs is one of the most detailed studies to date of the range of costs of strong OST programs. An online cost calculator derived from that study is designed to help users figure out the costs of a variety of high-quality OST programs. Administrative Management Capacity in Out-of-School Time Organizations: An Exploratory Study describes why many organizations that run OST programs need to strengthen administration and management to improve programming.
Launched in 2003, this initiative aims to improve after-school and out-of-school time programs in U.S. cities and make them available to more children and teens. Wallace funding of about $74 million has included support for: projects to develop citywide "systems" of after-school programming in five cities; some 25 research and other reports; a partnership with the National League of Cities to disseminate ideas and information about out-of-school time; and an online calculator to determine costs of various types of after-school programs.

Sisters in Spain: Michelle Obama and Sasha wrap up mom-daughter trip abroad in style
I don't know about you, but it's absolutely thrilled me to see First Lady Michelle Obama taking 9-year-old Sasha on a mom-and-daughter holiday—to SPAIN, no less! I don't have kids, nieces or nephews, but if I did, I'd be booking us on some overseas trip as soon as they were old enough to appreciate it. And I'd be sitting them down right now to watch video of adorable Sasha meeting the king and queen of Spain (http://news.yahoo.com/video/politics-15749652/michelle-obama-meets-king-of-spain-21295458). How it does my heart proud to see this darling young brown-skinned girl looking confident alongside her mom, realizing she's a princess in her OWN right. Nothing like self-assurance, even when it comes in the package of a preciously dressed pre-teen.
I was super-proud and psyched last year when the President and Michelle took their two girls with them to Paris and London (http://urbantravelgirl.com/2009/06/10/young-americans-in-paris-the-obama-girls-take-europe-by-storm/). I wrote then about how important it is for youngsters—and especially African-American ones, who don't always see themselves portrayed positively in the American media—to travel abroad and experience life through a different lens….

A man nicknamed the Bucket List Bandit by the FBI will remain incarcerated until he stands trial on charges that he robbed a Pennsylvania bank.
Fifty-four-year-old Michael Eugene Brewster waived his right to a detention hearing on Thursday in federal court in Erie.
Brewster will now remain in prison until he stands trial for the Sept. 10 robbery of a Huntingdon National Bank in Erie.
The FBI says Brewster is suspected of robbing nine other banks in eight states, including Colorado, before the heist in northwestern Pennsylvania. He earned his nickname when he allegedly told a Utah bank teller that he had only four months to live.
Asked by a reporter Thursday if he was terminally ill, Brewster just shrugged and smiled as he was led handcuffed from the courtroom.

How It Works
Estrogen therapy (ET) increases the estrogen level in your body. Estrogen impacts multiple systems of the body.
When given through an estrogen patch, vaginal ring, or skin cream or gel (transdermal estrogen), estrogen enters the bloodstream directly, without passing through the liver. The estrogen in pills must be processed by the liver before entering the bloodstream, which puts stress on an impaired liver.
Low-dose vaginal estrogen affects only the urinary and genital area. For more information, see Low-Dose Vaginal Estrogen for Dryness and Atrophy.
Why It Is Used
Estrogen therapy (ET) is used to increase estrogen levels in postmenopausal women who have no uterus. This treatment may help prevent perimenopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, and colon cancer.
Women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who experience early menopause after having their ovaries removed (oophorectomy) or because of other medical reasons typically take ET to reduce their risk of early bone loss and osteoporosis. Historically, women have continued using ET for years beyond menopause. Some women now discontinue ET around the age of menopause.
Women with a uterus who take estrogen also need the hormone progestin to prevent the estrogen from overgrowing the uterine lining, which can lead to endometrial (uterine) cancer. Estrogen-progestin is called hormone therapy (HT).
Do not use estrogen treatment if you:
- Are pregnant.
- Have unexplained vaginal bleeding.
- Have active liver disease or chronic impaired liver function. (Transdermal estrogen does not stress the liver.)
- Have a personal history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, or endometrial cancer.
- Are a smoker.
- Have a history of blood clots.
- Have had a stroke.
Talk to your doctor about your risks versus benefits if you have a family history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, stroke, blood clots, or endometrial cancer.
How Well It Works
Systemic estrogen therapy (ET) affects your entire body and reverses the effect of low estrogen. Systemic ET may:
- Reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes.1
- Improve moodiness and sleep problems related to hormone changes.2
- Maintain the lining of the vagina, reducing irritation.
- Increase skin collagen levels, which decline as estrogen levels decline. Collagen is responsible for the stretch in skin and muscle.
- Help prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis by slowing bone loss and promoting some increase in bone density.1
- Reduce the risk of dental problems, such as tooth loss and gum disease.
Low-dose estrogen. Researchers are studying the effects of low-dose estrogen therapy. Low-dose estrogen may keep bones strong and may relieve hot flash symptoms.3 But the long-term risks of taking low-dose estrogen are not yet known.
Side Effects
Side effects that can occur with all forms of estrogen but are more common with oral estrogen (and less common with a patch, cream, gel, or vaginal ring) include:
- Headaches.
- Nausea.
- Vaginal discharge.
- Fluid retention.
- Weight gain.
- Breast tenderness.
- Spotting or darkening of the skin, particularly on the face.
- In rare cases, an increased growth of preexisting uterine fibroids or a worsening of endometriosis.
Some of these side effects, such as headaches, nausea, fluid retention, weight gain, and breast tenderness, may go away after a few weeks of use.
The estrogen patch (transdermal estrogen) may cause skin irritation.
An estrogen ring must be replaced every 3 months. If the ring falls out at any time during the 3-month treatment period, you may rinse it with lukewarm water and reinsert it.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Risks of estrogen therapy
Estrogen therapy (ET) may increase the risk of health problems in a small number of women. This increase in risk depends on your age, your personal risk, and when ET is started.2 Talk with your doctor about these risks. Using ET may increase your risk of:
- Stroke.
- Blood clots.
- Gallstones.
- Ovarian cancer.
- Dementia.
- Urinary incontinence.
If you are taking ET after early menopause caused by a surgical hysterectomy, talk with your doctor about long-term ET risks and benefits.
Direct sunlight or high heat can increase, then decrease, the amount of hormone released from a patch. This can give you a big dose at the time and leave less hormone for the patch to release later in the week. Avoid direct sunlight on the hormone patch. Also avoid using a tanning bed, heating pad, electric blanket, hot tub, or sauna while you are using a hormone patch.

Still no real news on it yet, though I agree, those pics are pretty telling that something went down.
apparently, a female student hung herself in one of hte apartments. Might have been someone who was just here for the summer.
Sad thing.
From ISU News Service:

From Chief Meteorologist Shane Butler: Superstorm Sandy continues to weaken but still producing rain, strong winds and heavy snow. The circulation center of the storm is located over Pennsylvania but rain is falling even over parts of the upstate of South Carolina.
Snowfall in the mountains of West Virginia has reached over 2 feet in spots.
Around here, the winds from Sandy will start to relax later Wednesday. Improving sky conditions but much colder temps are in store for our region the rest of this week.

Team meeting at 7:00pm Entertainment on Saturday
Honey Farm Activities
Activities in the park include arts/craft vendors, food vendors, educational speakers on beekeeping and the importance of bees in maintaining balance and production of many of our agriculture trees and plants. Also scheduled is live musical entertainment. There will be 3 train rides to Bennett's Honey Farm, just east of Fillmore. The trains depart at 10:00am, 12:30pm and 3:00pm. During the ┬Į hour ride to the farm, there will be trackside demonstrations from actual beekeepers in their normal protective bee "suits' displaying how they "smoke" the bees in order to remove the frames so they can extract the honey and honeycombs. A docent will be on-board the train narrating the demonstration and describing the rural scenery. Once at Bennett's Honey Farm, passengers will be led by a docent for a tour of the processing facility. The only way to experience the "behind the scenes" tour is to take the train ride during the CA Honey Harvest Festival.
PC rules
Food Purchase and Transportation The safest way to operate a food booth is to purchase the food on the day of the event. Food may be purchased from a grocery store or prepared foods may be purchased from restaurant. Take all food directly to the booth for preparation or sale. Any preparation must be done in the booth or at an approved kitchen, such as a restaurant, school or church kitchen ŌĆō not in a private home. Transporting Cold Foods in an Ice Chest Transport cold foods in an ice chest from a restaurant or other approved kitchen. Ensure the level of ice is equal to the level of food instead of placing food on top of ice. Maintain cold food at 45┬║ F or lower.
Thermometers Must Be Accurate To Within + or - 2┬║ F To ensure that potentially hazardous foods are held and cooked to the proper temperature, the thermometer is one instrument food handlers cannot do without. These styles of thermometers may be purchased in many supermarkets for about $8-$12.
Hot Holding Cooked food must be held at 135┬░F or higher. Food may be held in chafing dishes, steam tables, and slow cookers. DO NOT use cooking equipment to keep food warm. Cooking equipment is for cooking only. Hot holding equipment must be capable of maintaining the internal temperature of potentially hazardous foods at 135┬░F or above during service, display or holding periods. Use a probe thermometer to verify proper food temperature. Leftovers may not be used in the booth. Hot held foods that have not been used by the end of the day must be discarded. Gloves Are Required if: Your nails are polished, artificial, rough, or long
Hand washing facility requirements: 1. Booths that handle only prepackaged food such as bottled or canned beverage, chips, candy bars etc. do not require a hand washing setup. 2. Booths in which open food is handled are required to have a hand washing facility located inside the booth. 3. Each hand washing facility shall be equipped with hot (120┬║F) and cold running water, hand soap, single-use paper towels and a waste tank to catch the wastewater. 4. At least 5 gallons of water must be provided to each booth requiring hand-washing facilities 5. Approved hand washing facilities must be provided within or immediately adjacent to food handler restrooms. 6. Alternative hand washing facilities may be allowed when deemed adequate by the Environmental Health Division. 2. For one and two day events 2- 2 ┬Į water jugs a 7 ┬Į gray water container (small kitchen trash can), soap dispenser and paper towels will be sufficient.
Customers expect food booths to be clean and assume that you will handle their food safely. A clean and organized booth creates a good impression and helps to make a safe, pleasant environment for everyone. However, it is important to remember that even though the booth looks clean it could be contaminated so, once you have cleaned the cutting boards, dishes, utensil, equipment and counter tops with hot, soapy water and rinsed with water, you must sanitize all food contact surfaces.
Chlorine Chlorine is the most commonly used sanitizer. It kills most of the disease-causing bacteria and viruses that washing and rinsing leave behind. To prepare a sanitizing solution with the approved concentration of chlorine-base chemical sanitizer you first need to know the proper level of chlorine. This level is 100 parts per million (ppm). This ppm is a ratio of water and sanitizer, which has been determined to be an adequate level to sanitize food contact surfaces. The amount of sanitizer to be mixed depends on the concentration of the sanitizer solution so read the instructions. Example: To prepare a solution of 100 ppm concentration of available chlorine use the following sanitizer to water ratio: When using a 5.25% sodium hypo-chlorite liquid chlorine (commercial grade, non-perfumed) add ┬Į oz per gallon of warm water. California Required Sanitizer Concentrations and Contact Times: For chlorine sanitizer ensure the utensils are submerged in the sanitizer for a minimum of 30 seconds. ŌĆó Chlorine: 100 ppm for 30 Seconds
Cleaning Cloths Food contact surfaces such as cutting boards and slicers must be sanitized between each use. Cleaning cloths and a sanitizer solution must be used and kept inside the booth. To maintain the cleaning cloth in working condition you must do the following: ŌĆó Store in a bucket with sanitizing solution when not in use.
ŌĆó Use for one purpose only unless washed and sanitized. ŌĆó Replace the sanitizing solution when it becomes cloudy.
Utensil Washing (I WILL BE PROVIDING 3 COMPARTMENT SINKS) Utensils and cutting boards must be properly washed, rinsed and sanitized using a three compartment sink either within the booth or shared by up to 4 booths handling open food. The 3-compartment sink may be placed outside the booth but shall have over-head protection. The sinks shall be large enough to accommodate the largest utensil. The 3-compartment sink must have two drain boards. The first drain board is to be used for soiled utensils. The second drain board is to be used for air-drying clean, sanitized utensils. ŌĆó The first sink compartment shall be labeled ŌĆ£washŌĆØ and hold hot, soapy water. ŌĆó The second sink compartment shall be labeled ŌĆ£rinseŌĆØ and hold clear warm rinse water. ŌĆó 'ĆĀThe third sink compartment shall be labeled ŌĆ£sanitizerŌĆØ and hold 100 ppm of chlorine (submerge utensils in the sanitizer for 30 seconds) or 200 ppm of ŌĆ£QuatŌĆØ. (Submerge utensils in the sanitizer for 60 seconds).
Food obtained from an unknown source or an unpermitted facility runs a higher risk of being contaminated. So ensure food has been purchased from approved sources which are inspected by the County Environmental Health Division such as a grocery store, restaurant, or a school kitchen. NO FOOD SHALL BE PREPARED OR STORED IN A PRIVATE HOME.
Physical and Chemical Contamination Physical hazards include dirt, hair, broken glass, shell or bones, and other objects. The following are food safety controls: ŌĆó Clean can openers before and after each use. ŌĆó Do not use glass to scoop ice (use food grade scoops). ŌĆó Do not chill glasses or food items in the ice that will be used for drinks. ŌĆó Maintain nonfood items separate from food and food related surfaces. ŌĆó Do not store toothpicks or non-edible garnishes on shelves above food storage or preparation areas.

A tarp qualifies as a floor as long as it covers the area completly

The first issue relates to the standard of review courts should apply when deciding a motion for a preliminary injunction where it is not certain that the moving party is more likely than not to prevail in the underlying matter. And, second, whether a specific municipal health care ordinance is preempted under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

Detour Travel Promotes Sustainable Tours and CarbonFree® Operations
The summer travel season is around the corner, and exotic locations lure the most adventurous travelers to remote and environmentally sensitive areas to experience their wonders. When planning these trips, environmentally responsible travelers will seek out sustainable tours that meet established ecotourism guidelines.
The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) defines ecotourism as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people." CarbonFree® Business Partner Detour, The Adventure Travel Marketplace adheres to this definition and its guiding principles when selecting the local tour operators and outfitters for its online destination tours and travel adventures. Detour actively promotes sustainable tourism by offering trips operated by local ecotourism companies and promoting green certified hotels in the trip destinations they support.
As an important part of its sustainability mission, Detour minimizes it own operational carbon emissions then mitigates what it cannot eliminate in partnership with Carbonfund.org. As a virtual company, Detour follows Carbonfund.org's motto to "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™" by maintaining only a small wind-powered office with some employees working from home. Detour handles all tour information and customer communications online, replacing paper and printing with electronic documents. And for the past six years, Detour has neutralized all remaining operational emissions through the CarbonFree® Business Partnership program. To date, Detour has neutralized over 500,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered by 6000 trees over a ten-year period.
"As a company based on promoting small-scale tourism directly through socially and environmentally responsible local tour operators and outfitters, Detour is committed to protecting the environment and minimizing global climate change," said Greg Findley, Detour's CEO.
Working only with sustainable local travel companies ensures that the tours support the local economies. Detour selects tour operations that employ local people and provide economic incentives for local people to protect their natural and cultural resources. Traveling with local companies also gives travelers a window into the lives of the communities they visit. This inside knowledge can make the difference between being a tourist and thoroughly experiencing and learning about a destination.
Taking a trip, even the most sustainably-planned tour, has some negative environmental impacts, including the carbon emissions of airplane travel and on-site ground transportation. Detour advises its customers to become environmentally-responsible travelers by choosing a sustainable trip, taking fewer and longer trips, and trying to get direct air flights when possible. Finally, Detour encourages tour customers to purchase carbon credits to offset the carbon emissions from their flights through Carbonfund.org. Join the ranks of eco-travelers by selecting leading sustainable tour operators like Detour and taking the extra steps to neutralize your vacation travel emissions.
Quasar Expeditions Tread Lightly with Carbonfund.org's Help
Ecotourism continues to grow in popularity as environmentally-conscious travelers seek out adventures to natural environments while minimizing the negative ecological impacts of their trips. The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) has defined ecotourism as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people." New Carbonfund.org partner Quasar Expeditions offers eco-travel adventures through the unique ecosystems of Patagonia, while ensuring that all on-the-ground tour emissions are measured and mitigated through Carbonfund.org.
In order to uphold their commitment to environmentally sustainable tour operations, Quasar Expeditions chose to partner with Carbonfund.org to calculate the emissions generated by each tour vehicle then mitigate those emissions by supporting reforestation and bio-diversity preservation projects around the world.
"Our recent partnership with Carbonfund.org is a big step for Quasar Expeditions in making yet another positive contribution to conservation and sustainable tourism," explains Fernando Diez, Director of Marketing and E-Commerce. "Although our adventures are methodically designed to leave very light footprints, we know that there is always some environmental impact, so we are now happy to be offsetting our carbon emissions through Carbonfund.org."
When planning ecotourism excursions, it's incumbent upon travelers to carefully review and seek out tour providers that are implementing sustainability practices to limit the environmental impact on the fragile habitats they visit. Eco-tour related emissions may be unavoidable, but measurement, reduction and neutralization of these emissions is a key component to maintaining responsible travel options while fighting the negative impacts of climate change.

Dear Lonnie: We always evaluate the results of regulation changes, so we will be watching what happens and listening to what anglers say about the results of this one. When we have implemented slot length limits like this in other places, it has only taken a few years for anglers to decide it was a great thing. Keep fishing, and get back to us in three to five years to let us know what you think. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. - Jim@mdc

I fish for catfish on Truman Lake and Lake of the Ozarks. I am glad to see MDC taking the action they feel necessary to protect this wonderful sport. I wish I could show you the video's of how excited all the young kids get when we take them "jug" fishing for the first time. They love to see the jugs bounce and see what's on the other end making them bounce. Keep up the good work.
On December 17th, 2013 at 7:58am Lonnie Hilte said:
I hope you guys got your ticket books ready for this because you have kept it so secret not very many people know anything about it. I tell as many people as i can and most of them look at me like i am crazy. I really do not understand the point of this ridiculous new law and don't think it should be up to the MDC to tell anyone what they think a trophy fish is. You say that we need to take a kid fishing and hunting but how are we going to keep them interested if we have to throw everthing back. I dont mean to rant on here but its just very upsetting for 1 i am going to have to spend a ton of money rerigging all of my equipment or, 2 i may end up selling my boat because this is really the only type of fishing that we do as a family, 3 i am sure that all of the bait shops around the lake will suffer from this. I do not like your new law but will obey it and continue to spread the word about it. How long will it be before you look into changing it back?

It's been 19-days since the murder of a Jacksonville woman and still, police have not been able to make any arrests in the case. Now a company has donated a $5,000 billboard to help solve the murder.
Fairway Outdoor Advertising had the billboard up on Highway 17 advertising a reward for information leading to the arrest of Kim Flournoy's murderer.
Flournoy was killed on December 30th in the back parking lot of TNT Beach Bingo.
Officers are still actively following leads, but have made no arrests.
Police believe the 65-year-old grandmother was the victim of an armed robbery.
The reward has now reached $22,500.

- The radio luminosity distribution of pulsars in 47 Tucanae
- Author(s)
- McConnell, D.; Deshpande, A. A.; Connors, T.; Ables, J. G.
- Abstract
- We have used the Australia Telescope Compact Array to seek the integrated radio flux from all the pulsars in the core of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae. We have detected an extended region of radio emission and have calibrated its flux against the flux distribution of the known pulsars in the cluster. We find the total 20-cm radio flux from the pulsars in the cluster to be S= 2.0 ± 0.3 mJy . This implies the lower limit to the radio luminosity distribution to be minL1400= 0.4 mJy kpc2 and the size of the observable pulsar population to be N≲ 30.

Two Nashville songwriters are touring Maine over the next few days. They're not here to support albums, or even singles. They're here on another mission. Tom Porter has more.
"We think it's a unique opportunity to give the consumer a chance to see behind the curtain, to learn about the songwriting process, and get an understanding that a lot of the music they hear on the radio is not written by the artist performing it," says Dan Spears, vice president of industry relations at the music licensing group BMI, which tries to ensure that songwriters are adequately compensated when their music is performed.
Spears organized the songwriter tour, which features Nashville-based Jeff Cohen (right) and Dylan Altman.
"Jeff and Dylan are both very accomplished national songwriters," Spears says. "They've had number one hits. They've also written pop songs for Evan and Jaron, they've had music that's been placed in television, in movies. So they really kind of represent all aspects of songwriting."
"Postcards from Paris" - a hit last year for chart-topping country music outfit The Band Perry - was co-written by Jeff Cohen. And Dylan Altman (left) is credited for "Take a Little Ride," a hit for double platinum-winning country singer Jason Aldean.
While the artists who perform these songs benefit from a host of revenue sources, in many cases the songwriters' sole income comes from the licensing fees that BMI, and its competitor ASCAP, collect. BMI takes in license fees on behalf of more than 600,000 affiliated songwriters, composers and music publishers, and distributes them as royalties.
Under federal law, licensing fees can be collected not only for live performances, but for pre-recorded music played in public as well. So it's not just radio and television stations that pay licensing fees, but bars, restaurants, hotels, and even hair salons and retail outlets.
With certain exemptions for smaller properties, they're all liable. Greg Dugal, executive director of the Maine Innkeepers Association, says most of his members who are supposed to pay licensing fees, do. But there are some who hold out.
"Some people just don't know about it and they've never been called on it so they just don't participate like they should. And there are other people as well who feel that it's not an appropriate use of their funds," Dugal says.
Maine Innkeepers is one of the sponsors of the BMI songwriter tour, billed as "Nashville Comes to Maine." Dugal says one of the reasons the association is getting behind the event is to make its members aware of the issue and to show them why it's important.
The Maine Restaurant Association is also sponsoring the event for the same reason. The group's Dick Grotton says restaurant owners should understand that music licensing fees should be treated the same as any other required operating expense.
"They have a health license, they have a liquor license, they have a marine seafood dealers license to sell certain food products," Grotton says. "They need a music license as well that authorizes them to play music that legally belongs to someone else."
For Jennifer Fox, the co-owner of Andy's Old Port Pub on the waterfront in Portland, live music is important. The pub offers live acts every night, and in the daytime, pipes background music through a Time Warner cable channel.
"We play blues during the day - unless it's kind of a downbeat day - then we do oldies and sometimes we'll do swing, or even jazz," Fox says. "But generally we're on blues during the day."
She and her husband pay nearly $200 to the cable company, which includes the music license fee. Fox says they also pay about another $1,000 a year to BMI and ASCAP, to cover the pub's live performances.
It's a hefty expense for a small business, says Fox, but a worthwhile one, "because we do believe in it. I mean we do believe that artists have a right to get compensated for their work."
Meanwhile, BMI this week filed suit against Pandora, after the online radio company refused to pay BMI a higher license fee. BMI argues the increase is warranted, because it reflects the explosive growth of the Internet music streaming marketplace.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, April 25, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The Army is downsizing. About 80,000 active duty soldiers will be cut between now and 2017. People came together on Thursday to make sure the Army knows just how important soldiers are in this military community.
"It's the first bastion for our national security," said Susie Welsh.
Welsh has lived in Augusta for 14 years and spends a lot of time volunteering at Fort Gordon.
"I know the importance of the community when you have a base and you need the support," Welsh said.
Welsh was one of dozens who spoke to a military panel at a Community Listen Session on Thursday.
They feel Fort Gordon should not be targeted by the Army's mandated reductions where 80,000 active duty members will be cut by 2017.
"That is approximately a 14 percent reduction in our active component strength," said U.S. Army Major General LaWarren Patterson.
With the cuts, it renders 4,300 service member jobs here at Fort Gordon gone. That's not including how this would affect the rest of the community.
"We have a lot of employees that their spouses are soldiers here in the area, and so it's an integral part of our company," said Craig Ward, who works in Augusta.
Local business leaders and elected officials also made their case on Fort Gordon's positive impact from education to technological advancement.
And every speaker shared their connection with the post.
"I'm a product of Fort Gordon," said Augusta-Richmond County Commissioner Alvin Mason. "And I'm living proof that Fort Gordon has a positive effect on people's lives."
"It's truly a bond," said Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver. "And when I speak about the bond, I think about the soldiers I see each and every day."
The question now is: Exactly what will happen to Fort Gordon?
"We don't know what the final summation is going to be," said Maj. Gen. Patterson. "It could wind up being a zero sum game. It could wind up being positive. It could wind up being a little negative in our numbers. But I think we gave a good showing today and we put up a good argument."

Newark, DE (Sports Network) - Devon Saddler poured in 24 points as the
Delaware Blue Hens overcame a double-digit second-half deficit to take down
the Old Dominion Monarchs, 75-73, in Colonial Athletic Association action at
the Bob Carpenter Center.
It was Saddler's fourth straight game with 20 or more points and his 11th of
the season for Delaware (13-12, 8-4 CAA), which has won five of six. Kyle
Anderson scored 12 points, Josh Brinkley added 10 points, and Jarvis Threatt
tallied 10 points, 13 rebounds, and six assists for the hosts.
For ODU (3-22, 1-12), DeShawn Painter recorded his eighth double-double of the
season with 22 points and 12 rebounds. Donte Hill and Dimitri Batten each put
up 15 points, while Aaron Bacote had 10 points for the Monarchs, who fell to
1-2 under interim head coach Jim Corrigan after beating Drexel on Feb. 7
(78-66) and losing to Northeastern in overtime on Feb. 9 (79-74).
Delaware shot 48.3 percent from the field in the first half compared to just
37.1 percent for ODU, but the Blue Hens took just a one-point lead into
intermission, 34-33. The Monarchs earned extra possessions in the opening
frame by grabbing eight offensive rebounds and forcing eight Delaware
ODU got hot to start the second half and took a 52-42 lead with 11:27 to play
on a pair of Batten free throws. Delaware battled back to take a 67-66
advantage with under three minutes left on a Saddler layup, which proved to be
the game-winner as the Blue Hens held on down the stretch.
Delaware finished the night shooting 47.5 percent from the field.

Demaryius Thomas leaped to where seemingly no receiver had leaped before at the Broncos' home stadium.
As he hung in midair, Thomas reached — with one hand — where no receiver has reached before.
Way, way up there, Thomas managed to get enough of Peyton Manning's purposely high throw — but maybe not that high on purpose — to control it, corral it and come down with two feet inside the rear of the end zone for a touchdown to finish off the Broncos' opening drive of the second half.
"That was one of the best plays I'd seen all season," said Eric Decker, Thomas' receiver mate. "By anybody in the league. Serious ups. One hand. Two feet, no fumble."
After his remarkable catch, Thomas could have spiked the ball and shouted, "Take that, Pro Bowl team."
Thomas laughed at that.
"No, I didn't do that," he said. "I came out of my break and I saw that it was high. I tried to go get it at its highest point. I was able to get a hand on it and come down with it."
Let the AFC Pro Bowl team have its four receivers: Andre Johnson, Wes Welker, Reggie Wayne and A.J. Green. The Broncos will take their 1,000-yard tandem of Thomas and Decker. (All six are playoff receivers, by the way.)
Thomas and Decker each had seven catches Sunday in the Broncos' 38-3 pasting of the Kansas City Chiefs. Thomas finished the regular season with 94 catches for 1,434 yards and 10 touchdowns. Decker wound up with 85 catches for 1,064 yards and 13 touchdowns, his last two Sunday against the Chiefs.
Decker made a nice diving catch in the end zone.
"Peyton required them to come down with a few passes where only the receiver could get it and they came down with them," said Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers.
Thomas and Decker are the Broncos' first 1,000-yard receiving tandem since Rod Smith and Ashley Lelie in 2004.
"Pretty special," Decker said. "We came in (through the 2010 draft) together. We're good friends. We knew what we wanted to accomplish and that was a mark we wanted to hit. But we have to keep getting better."
