Why You Need a Memory Card for Your Digital Camera Instructional Video Review
The memory card is an important item for just about all digital camera users. Many underwater digital cameras come with a small amount of memory built into them that is meant to be an emergency back up. It is generally just enough for a very small handful of digital still shots, but not nearly enough to allow the user to store anything significant and never enough to allow for any video recording.

How do people pay for home birth? For the last three months my husband and I have been planning for a home birth, and my insurance (Anthem) covered our midwife. Today I found out that my company is changing insurance companies to a local company (that happens to be owned by the local hospital). This means no midwife coverage. In fact, this insurance company told a friend of mine that home birth is an emergency situation and they don't cover any of it.
Now, I'm trying to figure out what to do. Our midwife cost would be out of pocket and with a new baby I don't think we could make that work. However, I had really started to visualize what it would be like to bring our baby boy into the world through the comfort and security of our home.
I've had friends who have had amazing, natural birth experiences at the local hospital, but I'm still fearful of being forced/pressured into unnecessary interventions. My only thought is that I could hire my midwife as my doula instead.
How have other people handled this?

We have paid for our midwife out of pocket. It has been tough at times, but I think in the end it is totally worth it. It might depend on how much it is. Our midwife charges 2600.00. We just pay a little at each visit and have to have her paid off by the 6 week check up.
Have your current insurance pay your MW a pro-rated amt for services rendered until your ins changes since you "can't see her for the remainder of your PG. Then instead of using your new ins just pay the MW the difference out of pocket. Many times MWs will allow you to make pmnts. Would yours be willing to do that?
My husband's company changed my coverage though it was still w/the same company. My maternity coverage was 100% but w/change of coverage it became 80/20. I threw a BIG fit since it was changing 6 weeks before my DD--why should I have to pay 20% for services rendered when my coverage was at 100%. They said they only pay a "total or global" maternity fee upon delivery when my coverage would be 80/20. I asked what would happen if I changed providers and they said they would pay a pro-rated amount in that situ for all services already rendered based on # of visits. It took lots of calls & letters, but eventually they did agree to pay on my old coverage rates for all services rendered when I had 100% coverage.
Check on your state laws...in my state if they cover advanced practice nurses at all (say for skilled nursing or Nurse Practitioners that work w/doctors) then they HAVE to cover MW (CNM) since they are an advanced nurse. The law specifically says that I have the right to choose a MW if the ins company covers advanced practice nurses in any other capacity.
Good Luck.
Thanks for that info - those are some good tips!
I know my midwife will work with us to create a payment plan so I haven't lost all hope that we can do a home birth. I hate that this decision has to come down to money.
We had to pay 100% out of pocket. Its a pitiful situation here in GA for homebirth.
I just found out that a friend had a natural, unmedicated birth at our local hospital and the final bill came to $9500 (not counting the OB). If my bill was the same, then I would still end up paying $500 for the deductible and 30% of the remaining bill ($2850). After learning that, I'm realizing that the $3500 our midwife costs is a bargain. If we're going to end up paying that amount anyway it seems to make sense to stick with the midwife and the home birth plan.
I was going to say that midwife are almost always cheeper then a hospital births, So glad you get to have your home birth=-)) BEST OF LUCK & WARM WISHES=-)
Our midwife used a company who submitted bills to our insurance (then Aetna). Surprisingly, they ended up covering about half of it. I assume most of it was billed as prenatal visits instead of actual birth attendance, and we got the out-of-network rate for "OB care".
I'm wondering if we will be able to still have part covered by the insurance as out of network since we have a PPO. It would be great if at least part of the cost was covered. We're 7 weeks out from my due date and I really can't wait. Getting really excited about the home birth! I heart my midwife.
Right now Im in the wonderful game the insurance companies play where they conveniently make it difficult to have homebirthing midwives in-network so that it's just not cost effective to have a homebirth, even if you wanted one.
For all the midwives that are in network via our insurance, the practices they work for are NOT. So, in Oregon I am going to OHSU (Oregon Health Science University) for my midwifery care just as I did with my 6th baby in 09' seeing a midwife who DOES do homebirths, and my bills are covered 80%. However if and when I transfer to her other practice that does homebirths, they are out of network therefore covering VERY little. With the new year we also have a whole brand spankin' new deductable.
Emmalia's birth only came out to be just under $1900 for her hospital birth however even with insurance, to have a homebirth it's going to add up to over $3000+ depending on how it goes. CRAZY.
Im basicly freaking out because I fear Im not going to be able to have my homebirth and Im going to end up being held hostage to the hospital, once again. Poked with an IV because I've had so many kids Im considered at a higher risk to bleed out and dragged out of the tub the minute she comes out in fear of bleeding too much.
I've neer told off a midwife or nurse but this just might be the year to do it.
I don't think my insurance will cover anything, so I think I'll just pay out of pocket and then submit a claim and hope for some reimbursement. However, I did hear recently that you can use your Flexible Spending Account to pay for midwife services. I want to double check with our policy, but if that's true, then I want to discuss payment plans with my midwife (as soon as I decide on one) to see if she will wait until the first of the year to get paid. That way I could include the full amount in my FSA and not have to worry about coming up with $3000-4000 on my own. If your company offers an FSA, you should check into it as an option.

With a 3-dimensional cutting, Dolphin Tech's lift bags are much more stable when deployed. It has a selfsealing
gas entrance which prevents accidental loss of buoyancy and an automatic dump valve located

|Drumroll Please
|Written by Jes-c Brandt
Tornado season
Thursday, May 16 was a dark morning. It was still overcast when the sun came up, and there was a palpable sense of foreboding as residents of Granbury, Texas, waited to see the damage daylight would reveal.
The night before, a series of storms moved across north Texas, producing several tornados in the process. One made a path through the small town I have called home for the past two years.
At the boarding school I work at outside Granbury, the weather that Wednesday night wasn't unusual. I was working in a residence of high school girls, and it was only by chance that we saw the weather report when we turned on the TV to watch "So You Think You Can Dance."
By that time, a banner at the bottom of the screen was already telling of a tornado that touched down in a neighborhood a couple miles north of us, and grapefruit-size hail had been spotted to the northwest.
The forecaster warned that a tornado was traveling east of us toward an adjacent city. Looking at the radar map, it seemed impossible that mayhem was happening all around us yet we were seeing nothing.
Concerned, I opened the blinds, looking out the windows on each side of the house, looking for evidence that a storm was heading our way.
About that time, I started receiving texts from a coworker who was in lockdown at Wal-Mart, taking cover from the storm. I began checking in with friends to make sure everyone was safe, and I kept my phone nearby, waiting for a call from my boss to evacuate the students to the dining center basement.
As I'm the adult of the house, the students looked to me for answers. "Miss Brandt, are we going to be OK? Is a tornado coming this way?"
I'm not unfamiliar with tornado drills, watches and warnings, but this was the first time my actions weren't dictated by a teacher or parent. These days it is my responsibility to direct the kids in these situations, and that's a whole different experience.
Thankfully, it soon became clear that our school was out of danger, and the girls went on to bed. By that time, they were more concerned about the next day of school than the tornado that had touched down so close to home.
It was then that another thunderstorm came toward town, pelting rain against the windows and lighting up the sky. Knowing the incoming storm would hinder evacuations and searches that lasted into the night, I anxiously followed the progress on the news and via social media.
When morning came, I went to work in an elementary girls' residence. At breakfast they told me they had reviewed tornado safety the night before. I then had the sobering experience of telling them that a tornado had, in fact, touched down in our community.
Five- and 6-year-olds grasp the gravity of a situation when houses are knocked down and people have died, even if they don't understand the disaster itself.
In the week since the Granbury tornado, the news has already been full of coverage of other devastating tornados in Kansas and Oklahoma. In some cases, people have hardly had time to process their loss before they receive threat of another tornado.
Many communities, including my own, have a long recovery process ahead of them. I know I don't have to tell the folks of Phillips County that tornado season can be a dangerous and unpredictable time, but I will say I think we can learn from how children respond to these tragedies.
They have sympathy for everyone affected by the tornados, no questions asked. My sweet first-grader told me that she hopes she can help people in tornados when she grows up. Together, they prayed for both victims and the doctors helping them.
Little ones seem to understand that whether it's lost loved ones, injuries, ruined belongings or a loud and frightening close call, a disaster like this can be a trying time for everyone. They were surprisingly sincere in their gratitude for all the things they still have to be thankful for.
No, it shouldn't take a natural disaster for people to be considerate of others and thankful for all they have, but I'll take the opportunity to heed the unfortunate reminder.

Slightly disappointed
I adore hello kitty and haven't had any other purses than hello kitty/sanrio purses for quite some time (10 + years). I was terribly excited about this purse but was quickly let down when the vinyl started cracking and ripping, now it's not worth anything to me because I can't use it and it makes me sad because it was so beautiful. I feel like I wasted my money on this purse and that is very unfortunate to me.

Cyclone fans won't forget this game. Iowa State rallied from a 23-9 fourth-quarter deficit with four TDs, including three in the last 3 1/2 minutes, to beat Kansas State for the first time since 1993 en route to earning a share of the Big 12 Conference's North Division title. ISU won for the first time since 1988 in Manhattan and became bowl-eligible for the fourth time in five years.
ISU freshman QB Bret Meyer scored on a 1-yard sneak, capping an 11-play, 60-yard drive to close within 23-16 at the 10:29 mark of the fourth quarter. The Cyclones started the tying drive with 4:53 remaining. On the drive's fourth play, Meyer hit freshman WR Todd Blythe, who had gotten behind the Wildcat secondary, for a 51-yard pass play. One play later, Meyer hit WR Todd Miller on a 3-yard slant that, after the extra point, tied the game with 3:24 left.
Iowa State DE Cephus Johnson forced a KSU fumble on the second play of the Wildcats' ensuing drive, with ISU LB Tim Dobbins recovering at the KSU 35. Cyclone TB Stevie Hicks picked up 15 yards on the next play and then rumbled right up the middle for a 20-yard scoring run that gave Iowa State a 30-23 lead with 2:07 remaining.
Hicks finished the game with a career-high 156 rushing yards on 29 carries. On KSU's next play from scrimmage, ISU CB LaMarcus Hicks grabbed a tipped pass and dashed 40 yards for a TD to ice the game with 1:48 to go. The 28 fourth-quarter points were the most scored by a Cyclone team in the last quarter since 1983, when ISU scored a school-record (for any quarter) 29 fourth-quarter points in a 49-27 win over KSU in Manhattan.
ISU outgained Kansas State 171-8 in the fourth quarter. Meyer finished the game 16-of-30 for 234 yards and a touchdown. ISU LB Jamaar Buchanan, starting for the injured Brandon Brown, led the Cyclones with eight tackles. Iowa State PK Bret Culbertson made seven-of-eight kicks during the game, including field goals of 30, 36 and 30 yards to earn Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week honors.
ISU outgained KSU 395-315. The win was Iowa State's fourth-straight conference victory, only the second time in school history that landmark had been achieved in a single season. Iowa State played turnover-free football and converted four Wildcat turnovers into 17 points.

From United for a Fair Economy-
The 400 wealthiest families in the U.S. aren't just filthy rich, they are downright dirty. Collectively, these households own $1.37 trillion dollars; a number so high that it's nearly impossible to comprehend. Here are 11 shocking things $1.37 trillion can buy that you can't:
- The richest 400 households can pay off every student loan for every single student in the entire United States. No more paying for an education, so that you can get a good job so that you can… well, pay off your education.
- The richest 400 could pay your rent, and the rent of every single renter in the entire United States for three years.
- The richest 400 could pay the mortgages of every house in the whole country for 14 full months.
- The richest 400 households can buy every single house that was foreclosed on in 2007 and 2008.
- The richest 400 households could pay the annual salaries of 19 million families for one year. So go ahead, take that year-long, family vacation around the world you've always dreamed of.
- The richest 400 can pay off all credit card debt for every single person in the entire United States. Imagine that! No more credit card debt looming over your shoulders!
- The richest 400 households can afford to give a $10,000 bonus to every single worker in the entire country. What would a hardworking person like you do with that extra money?
- The richest 400 can afford to buy a new car for every family in the United States. Meanwhile, many of us must ignore the flashing check engine light.
- The richest 400 can pay for 3 ½ years worth of gas for every driver in the country.
- The richest 400 households can afford to triple the number of teachers in the United States, then give every single one a $30,000 raise. Teachers are being laid off everywhere, their salaries are being cut, and they are suffering. Teacher-to-student ratios in schools are abysmal. But what can we do about it when so much wealth is in the pockets of so few families?
The richest 400 families alone could replace 70% of all money lost in the Great Recession, for everyone! How much money did you, your parents, or grandparents lose in the Great Recession of 2008? 30%, 50% of your portfolio? Not only do the rich still have enough money to fund their wildest dreams, but they can also fund your retirements.
Yes, the statistics are mind-boggling. But I can see our right wing friends immediately jumping on the "that's socialism" bandwagon. They can turn those statistics against us by claiming that we are advocating that the rich give to the poor in these exact ways. Nonsense, of course. But these days the general public is easily frightened, very gullible and looking for simple slogans and answers. Will they take the time to make the inferences that these statistics are meant to show? I hope so but I have my doubts.
What absolutely takes me back is the pledge that some Representatives in The House have made to never agree to raise taxes. Do they not trust their own intelligence to listen to other opinions and new information?
Why must those who can afford to give and help the most
are the ones who take the most, demand the most and by
percentages give the least and we still see our President
Protecting their interests over the good of America and
and all its people.
We in the USA have become a plutocracy instead of the democracy we are meant to be. As a result, a large percentage of our citizens are desperate for the basics of life while the wealthiest 400 households remind us of Jesus' parable about wealthy Dives and his disregard for the poor Lazarus.
Wow this is great way to really show us average people what the differenc is...thanks for the resource I will share with our parish! Keep up the great work!

text: I think it could be a cool experience to try one of the unlimited areas, and I don't want to rain on your party, but having hunted or helped on 10 successful sheep hunts, the AVERAGE hunt has been 8 days, even in exceptional sheep country with limited hunting pressure and high hunter success. I researched the unlimited areas years ago, and even considered hiring some of the best guides in the area, but even then the odds at killing a sheep were quite low. I would have to believe to have any reasonable chance of success it would take weeks of scouting over multiple trips. I've known of two guys who have had good success on these hunts and they both were long time residents of Montana and spent enormous amounts of time in the field.

No detail of shaving is too small to overlook. The creators of The Art of Shaving Men Shave realize that proper preparation is integral to the task of shaving properly. Not all shaving products were created equal. One of the most important foundations in shaving is preparing and applying the soap lather to the face, and The Art of Shaving Men Shave are part of this important step. Badger hair picks up and holds just the right amount of water needed to mix with shaving soap, resulting in a thick, smooth, warm lather.
Applying just the right mix of moisture and soap to the skin with The Art of Shaving Men Shave lays the proper groundwork by gently exfoliating the skin, lifting and softening the facial hair and providing a smooth base over which the razor blade can glide. Using a traditional badger hair brush, the soft, elegant feel of the fine strands loaded with warm, soapy lather over your skin is almost sinfully sensual. With The Art of Shaving Men Shave, shaving can be an art, a ritual and even a pleasure.
For more than two centuries, classic tools of shaving have included a badger hair shaving brush and shaving brush stand. The Art of Shaving Men Shave continues this tradition by offering The Art of Shaving Brush – Pure Badger – Black. Badger hair is the perfect medium for shaving brushes and the traditional shape of the handle allows easy, firm control.
Real badger hair holds warm water to mix with shaving soap, creating exactly the right consistency of smooth, creamy lather. Unlike boar or horse hair, and certainly plastic fibers, badger hair massages your skin gently without prickling, scraping or irritation. Use the tip of the brush in an easy circular pattern to add moisture to the facial hairs, making them soft and raising them up. The razor blade can glide over the skin without pressing down, which can cause rash and risks cuts.
When done, don't leave the brush in the shaving cup. That allows the soap to dry out between the hairs, creating a clogged lump. Not something you want to face the next time you need to shave! Setting the brush on its base allows residual soap to find its way down to the base, clogging the brush and forming a place where bacteria can grow. The Art of Shaving Brush Stand Black provides the perfect solution. Simply wash out the brush and hang it by the handle, badger hairs down. This allows the brush to dry out without clogging or matting, keeping it soft and supple for the next time you shave.

House OKs $50.7B Aid Bill
But efforts to pay for Sandy relief with cuts are shot down
January 16, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 10 weeks after Superstorm Sandy brutalized parts of the heavily populated Northeast, the House approved $50....

The first rule of politics is to mislead people and then send them off clucking like chickens. So they held the bill up because Republicans were afraid that the money would be given to Dem politicians for their campaigns? Amazing. I thought they were going to use the money to buy gas for UFOs. We should be outraged by politicians who took advantage of the disaster to hang personal pork barrel projects on the appropriation that had nothing to do with the storm AT ALL. No, we invent some wild idea that it was held up by Republicans for fear that the money would be given back to Dem politicians IN THE STORM area for campaigns. Plum nuts. $430 million to Hollywood for movies and $90 million to NASCAR...that is storm relief?

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) is going after his fellow House Republicans after party leaders pulled a Hurricane Sandy relief bill from a floor vote on Tuesday, saying that New York and New Jersey residents should stop giving these lawmakers political contributions.
"I'm saying right now, anyone from New York or New Jersey who contributes one penny to congressional Republicans is out of their minds," he said in an interview on Fox News. "Because what they did last night was put a knife in the back of New Yorkers and New Jerseyans. It was an absolute disgrace."

Interesting to note that many of the far right extremists who delayed and voted against Sandy relief for the northeast, come from states that get more $ back from DC than they send to DC. Most of the states in the northeast send more to DC than they get back.

"The Senate approved a $60 billion measure in the final days of the Congress that expired on Jan. 3,..." "But House Speaker John Boehner unexpectedly postponed the vote in the final hours of the expiring Congress as he struggled to calm conservatives unhappy that the House had just approved a separate measure raising tax rates on the wealthy."
Lives, homes and businesses destroyed in Sandy but the far right would not provide relief because a separate bill raised taxes on the wealthy? I laugh when you hear low hanging fruit talk about Obamas class war. The class war is and has been about the wealthy protecting their personal interests above those of the country.
Disasters can happen in any part of this great country. For the "fiscal conservatives" who delayed help to the northeast, while fighting a class war against the middle class, hopefully you have built up enough of a disaster fund within your own state, as what you give in this world is what you

Wanting to try spring bear hunting in SE Idaho this year. Newbie at this hunt and thought baiting might be the best way to go. Couple of questions. Since I have access to free stale donuts, chips, old burritos/sandwiches, soda (all out dates from vending supplier), should I try to bait or spot & stalk? Are old sandwiches/burritos legal to use with the baiting regs and should I add something else?
Also, any general areas to bait in SE ID (Idaho Falls) that I might have a chance at bringing a bear in without having to drive too far from home?

Both sides now
Campaign 2012 | and other news briefs
"Both sides now" Continued...
GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney collected more delegates and picked up key support from elements of the GOP establishment's past and its Tea Party present. Former President George H.W. Bush and freshman Sen. Marco Rubio, a Tea Party favorite, both publicly endorsed Romney, cementing the former Massachusetts Governor's frontrunner status heading into April's round of state voting. Rubio's decision and Sen. Jim DeMint's remark that he is "excited" about the possibility of Romney being the nominee suggest that a growing number of conservative lawmakers seem ready to focus on November's general election. Rubio said prolonging the bruising primary battle to the party's convention in Tampa would be "catastrophic" for Republicans: "In the modern era, in the 21st century, you cannot have an open fist fight like that at the convention, and nine weeks later defeat the best-funded presidential candidate in American history."
Up for review
Following controversy over Bible translations in Muslim contexts that change the phrases "Son of God" and "God the Father," Wycliffe and its translation partner SIL have agreed to an independent review of their translation practices. The World Evangelical Alliance will coordinate the review, with a report due the end of 2012. The review panel will include theologians and translation experts as well as Muslim-background believers. Wycliffe and SIL also said they have temporarily suspended publication of translations that may contain controversial renderings of "Son of God" and "God the Father" for a period of "dialogue" on the issue.
Colson hospitalized
Four days after emergency surgery to remove a pool of clotted blood on the surface of his brain, Prison Fellowship founder, author, and radio commentator Chuck Colson was in critical condition at a Washington, D.C., area hospital. Colson was speaking at his group's Wilberforce Weekend Conference in northern Virginia on March 30 when his speech became garbled and he had to sit down, according to witnesses at the event. He was taken by helicopter to a nearby hospital, where he underwent evaluation and then surgery early the following day. Prison Fellowship Ministries CEO Jim Liske said the surgery for the 80-year-old Colson was successful. "Chuck is resting comfortably, and his family is with him. He is heavily sedated (which is appropriate in the aftermath of this kind of procedure) and is responding well," Liske said in a prepared statement on April 2. On April 3 the organization updated that statement, noting that Colson was in critical condition and had suffered an intracerebral hemorrhage. After visiting Colson in hospital, Liske said, "I was encouraged to see that as we prayed, Chuck was responsive."
Leaders of Egypt's Coptic Church announced April 2 that they were withdrawing from a committee to draft the country's new constitution, calling participation "futile" given the domination of Islamists on the panel. Only two out of 100 committee members are Copts, though the church reportedly represents at least 10 percent of Egypt's population. On March 29, nearly a quarter of the panel boycotted the panel's first session over its radical Islamic slant.
Also vacated: Tour guides and locals say the pyramids at Giza are usually packed this time of year-like Disney World in June. But Egypt's revolution and ongoing turmoil have dealt a critical blow to the tourism industry that accounts for a major chunk of the country's struggling economy.
School shooting
A disgruntled former student opened fire in a Christian college in Oakland, Calif., April 2, killing seven and injuring three, police said.
At 10:30 a.m. the suspect, 43-year-old One Goh, allegedly sprayed the classroom with gunfire and continued firing shots as he ran out. Sources say Goh had been involved in a dispute with campus officials and may have been kicked out of a class. Police captured the suspected gunman later that day in an Alameda grocery store five miles from Oikos University, where the shooting took place. He had allegedly walked to the customer service desk and said, "I just shot some people."
Oikos is a Christian college incorporated in 2004 that caters to the Korean community with degrees in nursing, theology, music, and Asian medicine. According to its website, the school's mission is "to educate emerging Christian leaders to transform and bless the world at every level." Oikos is a Greek word meaning household, house, or family.
Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, having endured detention and house arrest for 15 of the past 21 years under Burma's military junta, won a seat in her country's parliament on April 1. Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy won 43 of 44 seats it contested. The victories give the opposition its first significant presence in the government of Burma, also known as Myanmar, but the junta continues to hold the majority of seats.
Military leaders have taken steps to allow new freedoms. But Dave Eubank, director of Free Burma Rangers, an aid group working with war victims, cautioned: "There are some good changes, yet oppression continues."
Tibetan exile
Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit to India March 28 incited protests by the country's Tibetan refugee population, with one man setting himself on fire days before the visit.
To prevent further protests, police in New Delhi detained hundreds of Tibetan activists and placed all Tibetans refugees under house arrest until March 31, the end of the BRICS meeting-an annual summit meeting with the leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
Activists said 27-year-old Tibetan exile Jamphel Yeshi died from burns that covered 98 percent of his body. In the past year, ethnic Tibetans have held about 30 anti-China protests, speaking out against China's crackdown on Tibet and calling for independence.
New faces of Religious freedom commission
Under new congressionally imposed term limits, five commissioners on the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom had to resign, including human-rights lawyer Nina Shea and the Southern Baptist Convention's Richard Land. Now congressional leaders from both parties are appointing new commissioners to join President Obama's appointees already on the commission. House Speaker John Boehner appointed Princeton University law professor Robert George, a Catholic who has been at the forefront of domestic religious freedom issues and was one of the original drafters of the Manhattan Declaration. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid appointed Katrina Lantos Swett, the daughter of the late Democratic Rep. Tom Lantos. Swett has followed her father's career advocating for human rights and heads a foundation in his name. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appointed Zuhdi Jasser, who heads the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, a group that "seeks to counter political Islam."

|Floodwaters flow to central Nebraska
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Flooding conditions that began with Sept. 11 rains in the Front Range flowed into central Nebraska early this week and flood warnings continue.
In the Sterling area, another 4 inches of rain was received Monday, Sept. 23, causing another surge of water to head down the South Platte River.
Sedgwick County Emergency Management Director Mark Turner said Tuesday morning that spotters are keeping a close eye on the water coming down the Platte.
Volunteers deserve the credit for heeding the flood warning last week and preparing for the water to avoid extensive damage, according to Turner.
After flooding the town of Crook in Logan County, the South Platte waters ran fast toward Sedgwick County last Tuesday, Sept. 17.
Turner said they had enough warning that they were able to hold the water back and the infrastructure stayed intact.
There was concern for the water treatment plants near the river in all three towns—Sedgwick, Ovid and Julesburg. They were able to sandbag and prepare.
Two houses in the flood area were firmed up and sandbagged as well, said Turner.
But Tuesday night, Sept. 17, near Ovid, there was a breach under the railroad track and a whole bunch of volunteers showed up, praised Turner. Fifteen homes in that area became targets.
The road and bridge crew brought sand, equipment came in, and they got a berm built to successfully ward off the waters when they hit at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18.
The water crested at the Julesburg bridge Wednesday afternoon at about 1 p.m. It was a record crest at 10.97 feet, as the previous record was 10.44 feet, according to Turner.
After devastating parts of Colorado, the flood waters entered Nebraska on the South Platte River last Wednesday. The National Weather Service posted flood warnings for the South Platte River, the North Platte River and the main Platte River in at least three Nebraska counties—Deuel, Keith and Lincoln.
Some flooding was reported around Big Springs, Neb., as the Platte waters moved east.
Although water backed up into North Platte, Neb.'s storm sewers and caused some minor flooding in the city Sunday, Sept. 22, city workers quickly capped the storm sewers and used a trash pump and two fire engines to pump water out of the city. By Monday morning, the streeets of North Platte were virtually dry.
Floodwater reached Cozad, Neb., Monday, Sept. 23, causing river levels to rise more than 5 feet since Sunday morning.
"Water will continue to move down the Platte River," said Earl Imler, response and recover manager at the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency. "We'll continue to see high water levels move east down the river for the rest of the month."
The water level at Cozad was forecast to crest at minor flood stage sometime Tuesday, Sept. 24. Minimal impacts were expected.
The flood warnings end at Grand Island, Neb., where the water level is forecast to reach 6.7 feet for minor flood stage by Thursday, Sept. 26.
Logan County hit hard
Logan County was hit hard by the floodwaters. Late last week, Logan County Emergency Manager Bob Owens gave preliminary information indicating 180 residences were affected by the flood. That includes 15 homes that were destroyed.
Federal Emergency Management Agency personnel teams were in Logan County Tuesday, Sept. 24, going home to home in two-man teams to hand out information on registering for FEMA assistance.
Friday, Sept. 20, 73 miles of asphalt and dirt roads were compromised, and it was unknown as to the severity due to the water level.
All of the main bridges in Logan County were compromised, including eight state bridges and one county bridge.
A federal assistance team provided support to the state agencies. It was a great collaborative effort among many entities to help the residents of Logan County.
The Colorado Division of Homeland Security Office of Emergency Management along with the Division of Fire Protection and Control, Department of Corrections, Colorado Department of Transportation and the Colorado State Patrol provided support to local agencies. The Salvation Army and Red Cross provided services and support to the public, as well.
After being closed to students since Saturday, Sept. 14, Northeastern Junior College in Sterling was to resume classes Wednesday, Sept. 25.
While the campus remained dry all last week, not seeing any water damage from the flooding from the nearby river area, the City of Sterling issued a no-flush order for the entire city due to an inoperable pump station serving the wastewater treatment plant that was damaged when the floodwaters came.
The no-flush order was followed by a no-food-service order put out by the Northeast Colorado Health Department.
With no ability to provide food service, indoor showers, laundry and restrooms, the college evacuated all students with the exception of a few who were unable to leave campus for various reasons.
Special provisions were made for that group of students, allowing them to stay on campus with access to necessities.
Ironically, when Sterling lifted the no-flush order Monday morning, Sept. 23 and restaurants and fast-food establishments began opening for business, the Logan County area saw record rainfall. As much as 4 inches was reported in some areas, which brought some flooding and other water-related issues to the city and campus.
These issues were expected to be short-lived, although one parking lot on campus saw water levels come up over the doors of a few cars parked in the area.
Last week, some Sterling-area residents who work in Holyoke were forced to travel west to get on Interstate 76, then exit at the Sterling-Holyoke ramp in order to travel east to Holyoke. Highway 6 out of Sterling was closed from Monday through Friday, Sept. 16-20.
Economists begin to assess disaster impact
In the aftermath of flooding that devastated northern Colorado, state economists have begun to assess the financial impact of the disaster and are predicting a boost for some sectors.
Employment in the construction labor and materials industries, along with lodging businesses, should increase, the legislature's chief economist said last week.
After a sharp immediate economic decline, natural disasters park "a sharp rebound in economic activity as resources are poured into rebuilding and restoring the infrastructure of homes and other things," said Natalie Mullis, speaking to lawmakers during a quarterly review.
The full economic effect of the disaster is unknown. The floods damaged or destroyed nearly 2,000 homes. More than 200 miles of state highways and 50 bridges were also damaged in the state.

Michelle Basch, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – If battling traffic in the Washington metro area isn't frustrating enough, hunting for a place to park your car is sure to make you scream.
But a company called ParkMe is promising relief in the form of a free smartphone app.
The app itself is not new, but it's just been upgraded to include real-time parking information for more than 100 Colonial Parking locations around the area.
App users can find out if parking lots, garages and street parking areas in D.C. and parts of Maryland and Virginia have spaces for their cars. Once a destination is typed in, the app pulls up a map showing parking availability and parking garage costs.
"I can now know the closest, cheapest and available parking — key word available — in real time, and on the go so that I don't have to circle the block and I don't have to waste time or money," says Sam Friedman, chief executive officer and co-founder of ParkMe.
On the app, bubble-shaped icons point out each parking location.
"If it's green, that means you will be able to find a spot somewhere in the lot. It will turn red if [the garage] can no longer accept cars," Friedman says.
If the bubble is blue, it means the lot or garage is open, but there is no real- time parking spot information for it. If the bubble is gray, that means that particular parking location is closed.
In the center of each bubble, users will see the current parking rates for that particular location so they can compare prices.
Switch from "Lots and Garages" mode to "Street Parking" mode, and colored lines appear to point users to on-street parking.
Friedman says drivers should pull over before using the app, but plans are in the works for a voice-activated version.
"That's the next big step, is to really bring it into the navigation work flow," he says.
Friedman also is working with automakers to get ParkMe's extensive collection of parking data added to in-car navigation systems.
The app only provides real-time parking information in select cities, including Austin, Texas, San Francisco, Los Angeles and D.C.
The iPhone version of the free app is available for download on iTunes.The Android version is available for download on Google Play.

In response to NNDad's comment:
In response to Hockeymomsrule's comment:
P.S. Give us some breathing room and take care of Norwood this week ok? :-) We *should have 3 easy ones left (Medford, Wellesley and Brookline) and should be able to clinch it, but ya just never know and having a game in hand in the loss column over Norwood would really help my heart over the next week.
Is there an overall Baystate Champion, or are there just division champions? Anyway, NN has AB, Needham, and Norwood. Hopefully they can pick up at least 2 more wins. I think Norwood will be easier than AB, and Needham should be no problem, except that they beat us last time.
I know DD would like to get back at Norwood for what was their most painful loss of the season in hockey. With just 16 seconds left, Norwood scored two goals to win by one. We know how Toronto feels.
Yes, there is an overall Conference Championship and the Division ones, no banners for division ones though (at least in our school they only do the Conference ones). We haven't won either in a decade, they want it all. As of right now, we have the tiebreaker over Norwood with our win over them, but another league loss for them will give us a little breathing room and a league loss for us will give it to Norwood, hence why the game against you guys yesterday was so huge, that should have been our last tough/can go either way game for regular season (but Wellesley is kinda wierd this year so that game is actually making me nervous LOL). Good luck the rest of the way!

The Onslow County School Board is scheduled to vote tonight on new attendance zones.
Three county schools, Richlands High School, Trexler Middle School and Carolina Forest Elementary, are overcrowded and driving the need to redistrict in Onslow County. Several options are on the table to change who goes to school where.
Some parents told WITN's Carly Swain, they're concerned about classes and friends being separated by the redistricting.
According to the Onslow County Schools website, these are the schools that could be impacted if any of the proposals are approved:
For high schools, Richlands, Southwest, Jacksonville, and Northside could see changes.
The middle schools are Trexler Middle, Southwest Middle, Northwoods Park Middle and Jacksonville Commons Middle School.
Three elementary schools could also be impacted. Carolina forest Elementary, Bell Fork Elementary and Morton Elementary.
Tonight's meeting will take place at Blue Creek Elementary in Jacksonville. It begins at 7 p.m.

|Abts Express welcomes pharmacist
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
After seven months of having no pharmacist in Holyoke, Abts Express will fill the void as a full-time pharmacist will begin at the store March 1.
Abts Express will celebrate with a grand opening on Friday, March 1. A variety of door prizes will be given away for the occasion.
For the past seven months, the local store acted as a drop-off facility. Patients were able to pick up their medication, but likely had to wait for the prescription to be filled in Haxtun and brought over.
Cindy Cooper will take over as Holyoke's new pharmacist.
Abts Express manager Nici Bishop, pictured at left, is excited to
—Enterprise photo
Cooper received her bachelor's degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in biology and her pharmacy medical degree from the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Although she spent the past three and a half years working in North Platte, Neb., she spent more than 20 years of her career in Boulder.
"Holyoke's infrastructure reminds me of Boulder," Cooper said. "People love the town and I get a good sense of commitment to the town from the people."
Cooper has spent the past three months traveling between Julesburg, Haxtun and North Platte and is ready to settle down in Holyoke.
One of the biggest attractions to Cooper was Holyoke's size. She commented on how she had to give up so much living to be in a city, but now she can enjoy the clean, country lifestyle where she has more down time and the dollar stretches further.
With more down time available to her, Cooper can pursue some of her favorite hobbies such as getting out on the water with her paddle board, running and diving into a romance novel.
She is also looking forward to traveling to Massachussettes in May to see her youngest son of three graduate from Amherst College.
With Cooper available in the Holyoke store, patients will have direct contact with a physician for consultation. Prescriptions will be filled inhouse so the waiting period will be drastically cut as well.
Manager Nici Bishop stressed that although the store did house a pharmacy before, Abts is a completely different pharmacy with no ties to Pamida.
One of the biggest points of emphasis that Bishop has set her sights on is ensuring the best customer service possible.
Bishop, who has been in Holyoke for eight years, said she is excited for people to come in and interact with the staff and see how passionate they are about the people in the community.
She has a personal approach to running a business that she learned early on in life from watching her parents work at an animal health supply store. It was there that she was taught the importance of building strong relationships with customers.
She explained that she is looking forward to helping patients as much as possible, because they are not just patients but neighbors and friends. She expressed that being able to step into a position to help has been personally fulfilling.
Bishop takes pride in building a strong team at Abts Express as well as building the leadership skills necessary to run the store.
For 16 years Bishop has been a volleyball official for the Colorado Volleyball Official Association and has been president of the organization for five years. She has two years left on her term and believes the position has helped her sharpen her leadership skills.

Cisco has good games at Milwaukee. Today could be his day again!
T-Rob misses the dunk, and then gets the ball stolen. Oh T-Rob, please remember you have talent.
Lol Hayes passes the ball straight to the Ersan Ilyasova
T-Rob is failing at his strengths, but he is making his FTs which were his weakness! Helluv a putback there by T-Rob though!
T-Rob dribbles into traffic, loses it, gets his balance, gets Dal to goaltend. Kings within 2.
Hahah....Daniels had Isaiah on him so he puts up a shot over him without jumping...didn't make but was funny.
Jimmer ties it up. Daniels takes up the lead. Game is shifting leads. As bad as the Kings have been, the Bucks are a train wreck.
smart goes with another shitty lineup (brooks, Isaiah, Cisco, JT, JJ) and the bucks go up 8.
Jt loses a tooth, blocks a shot, and Harris gets a Tech. Nice job JT.
Outlaw comes back in and once again the lead goes to 10. 49-39 Bucks. Games like this show how bad Smart is.
Grant: I don't know why Tyreke would give Daniels 10 feet of room.
Well Grant, there was a player's back Tyreke needed to guard.
13 point lead for the Bucks. Kings shooting has sucked, the defense nonexistent, turnovers are crazy, and Keith Smart is trying to lose with his donkeyball nut cracker ineups.
Lets See..Starting Outlaw? 10 Assists? 37 percent shooting? Salmons is your leading scorer? Beautiful ISO basketball?
None of this makes sense. Keith Smart has nothing to worry about. The Magoofs love him.
This franchise is so lost, from the ownership on down. Sad to watch, really, especially knowing there is no end in sight. Maloofs aren't selling unless they financially have to and even then it's going to be a struggle.
Overall, the whole team played awful. Bucks led the entire time.
Running the offense through Hayes is a nightmare. Reke had 17 and you could tell he was gassed. On to the next blowout in OKC!

Las Vegas, NV (Sports Network) - Nik Brown converted a pair of free throws
with 10 seconds remaining in overtime, leading the Longwood Lancers to an
86-83 victory over the Florida A&M Rattlers in third-round action of the Las
Vegas Invitational at Orleans Arena.
Despite missing a pair of free throws near the end of regulation that could
have given Longwood the win, Tristan Carey still led the Lancers (1-4) to
their first win of the season with a game-high 30 points. Carey was 11-of-17
from the floor and hit seven 3-pointers in the victory. Brown had a strong
game offensively as well, pouring in 21 points, while Michael Kessens recorded
a double-double for Longwood with 14 points and 16 rebounds and Jeylani Dublin
registered 11 points and 11 boards.
The Rattlers (0-5) remained winless on the season despite a 26-point
performance from Jamie Adams. Jamari Bradshaw added 18 points for Florida A&M,
while Markee Teal and Muhammad Abdul-Aleem finished with 14 points each.
Both teams shot the ball well in the first half, with Longwood delivering on
an even 50 percent of its shots (15-of-30), while Florida A&M came in just
under that mark at 46.2 percent. The Lancers did knock down five 3-pointers in
the first 20 minutes of play and took a slim 34-33 lead into the break.
The strong shooting continued for both squads after intermission, as the
Rattlers converted 51.6 percent from the floor to force overtime. In the extra
session, the two teams went back and forth with several lead changes before
Longwood went up 82-81 with 01:21 remaining in extra session and did not
relinquish the lead en route to the win.
Longwood won the game despite 21 turnovers. The Rattlers meanwhile, shot a
miserable 13-of-25 at the free-throw line.
Longwood will take on the winner of the Presbyterian/Cornell matchup on
Saturday for fifth place in this event. Florida A&M will take on the loser of
that contest for seventh place.

Remembering Indianola
The town of Indianola, Texas was rebuilt after seventy five percent was destroyed by a hurricane in 1875 on yesterday's date. Just eleven years later another hurricane hit the same town in 1886 wiping it off the map. It was never rebuilt, records were lost and all buildings were either burned down from the fuel lamps overturning or just washed away. Both storms pushed the Gulf waters and water from the Matagorda Bay twenty miles inland. Indianola was not far from where present day Port O'Connor is located.
The path of the Indianola Hurricane is similar to the path of Ike back in 2008. Both storms affected Cuba; the Indianola storm brushing the northern coast and the Ike traversing the entire length of the island. Ike made landfall on the north side of Galveston Island early in the morning on the thirteenth with winds of nearly 110 mph. The "Indianola" hurricane made landfall about one hundred miles south of Galveston. One reason why hurricanes traditionally become much more intense over the Gulf of Mexico (e.g. Ike, Indianola as well as Katrina and Camille) is because the water temperatures across the Gulf are typically in the mid 80s.
Most intense U.S. hurricanes making landfall:
Intensity is measured solely by central pressure Rank Hurricane Season Landfall pressure:

NOCATEE, Fla. -- A homeowner in the St. Johns County neighborhood of Nocatee is worried his home could be swallowed by a sinkhole.
Now, engineers are drilling the earth's soil to see if there is potential for this house to be swallowed into the earth.
Now, he said, he wants to move out as quickly as possible.
There are two levels of sinkhole insurance. If you have homeowners insurance, you are automatically covered if your entire home is swallowed by a sinkhole and declared a "catrastrophic ground cover collapse."
But, if there is only partial destruction- you aren't covered. This is why people choose to buy comprehensive sinkhole insurance that could cost you up to $400 a year.
About 35 to 40 percent of the entire United States is susceptible to dangerous sinkholes, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Particularly vulnerable, as you might guess, is Florida.
Helicon Foundation Repair has some steps to avoid sinkholes:
-Redirect your water
-Treat underground limestone
-Sinkholes form when rainwater dissolves limestone under the soil so it's important to treat it
-Avoid construction on wetlands
-Recycle gray water run-off
The Nocatee homeowner is waiting for test results to come back to find out whether or not his home is sinking.

Love the signals Wiring was direct plug-n-play. I had read up and was expecting a single wire and body ground, but they came with two wires each and were very easy to hook up.
Used my girl to raise money on a miserable day!If the gave me at least a dollar I'd let them sit and take a photo.
............. Still not getting 14V on charging after the rewire. I'll try the larger headlight and see how it goes but I may just order a new regulator/rectifier at this point.
Thats the way to do it. Supporting a cause ?----I rode mine to work.
~ My most excellent RE Dealer, Scoot Over Tucson, ordered some things for me from the Nfield Gear catalog. (On a side note, I normally try to stay away from dealers, but this is not the case concerning Royal Enfield, specifically this dealership. It is mom/pop run and seems like you're just hanging out with buddies while there. An experience unlike any other as far as a dealership goes.)~
Same thing at the RE dealership nearest me, Vince's. He has plain old honest coffee on the warmer for us to ward off the chill and always has something hilarious to say when we get there. He lumps my order in with his regular order and in this way he gets a small cut and I get a break on shipping. My out the door cost after tax is still a good bit lower than ordering direct+shipping.

Some parents are disturbed when they see crusting, redness and yellow scaling rash on their newborn baby's scalp that resembles dandruff. Fortunately, there's no need for alarm. This is most likely a condition called cradle cap. Also referred to as infantile seborrheic dermatitis, cradle cap is a common condition among newborn babies and infants that's harmless and not indicative of other medical problems. Up to half of all babies are affected by the condition during the first three months of life.
Glands on the skin and scalp called sebaceous glands produce a thick, sticky substance called sebum, which helps to protect the skin from moisture loss. When these glands produce too much sticky sebum, skin cells become trapped in it and aren't sloughed off normally and pores become clogged with dead skin cells. This leads to the crusty rash, redness and scaling that is typically seen with cradle cap. Poor skin hygiene is not believed to be a cause of cradle cap.
What causes the sebaceous glands to produce too much sebum? Hormones from mom are still circulating in a young baby's bloodstream for a few weeks after birth. Experts believe these hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to over-produce sebum and clog the hair follicles. Cradle cap is more common in families with allergic conditions such as asthma and eczema. In some cases, the affected areas can become infected with bacteria, causing redness, swelling and blisters that drain fluid. Yeast growing in the excess sebum may also be a contributing factor for cradle cap.
There's some thought that cradle cap may be related to a deficiency of the B-vitamin biotin, but there's not enough evidence to support supplementing with biotin.
Cradle cap isn't a cause for alarm, and it can usually be treated at home as long as the areas aren't infected. The scaly rash usually resolves on its own in six months or less, although some cases can last up to a year. The symptoms will resolve over time without treatment and the areas are typically not painful or itchy, but many new moms want to treat the areas for cosmetic reasons or their own reassurance. In some cases, the rash and scaling will spread to other parts of the body, particularly around the eyes, eyebrows or behind the ears.
The best way to treat the affected areas is to rub the scales and crusts with mineral oil to soften and loosen them up. Use a soft toothbrush to massage the scales to gently remove them. Follow up by shampooing baby's head with a mild baby shampoo. If the areas become inflamed, some doctors will recommend a dandruff or anti-fungal shampoo. If the areas are infected, they may prescribe an antibiotic.
Talk to your baby's doctor before using medicated shampoos since some of the ingredients can be irritating to a baby's eyes. The areas are not typically itchy, although some babies pick at the scales and cause irritation that can lead to itching. If this is the case, some doctors may recommend a mild hydrocortisone cream. Shampooing every other day may help with the scaling, but always use a mild shampoo to avoid irritating the scalp.
Cradle cap is a harmless and common condition that goes away within the first year of life, but babies who have this condition may be at greater risk for seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff later in life.
Infantile seborrheic dermatitis or cradle cap is a benign condition that's not harmful or irritating to a baby. It's one of the most common conditions seen in newborn babies and babies under three months of age. It usually resolves on its own within six months to a year, although babies who have it may be more susceptible to seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff later in life. Cradle cap is also more common in families where allergies are common, so it may be a marker for an increased risk of allergies later on.
Even though treatment isn't necessary in most cases, gently removing the scales and shampooing with a mild shampoo every other day can markedly improve the appearance of baby's scalp – and that's a good thing for new moms who want to show off the new member of their family.

Tucson, AZ (Sports Network) - Behind a career-best 156 rushing yards and three
touchdowns from Marion Grice, the Arizona State Sun Devils closed out the
regular season with a 41-34 win over the Arizona Wildcats in the Territorial
Cup at Arizona Stadium.
Grice was named the Bon Moran Most Valuable Player of the game for ASU (7-5,
5-4 Pac-12). Taylor Kelly completed 16-of-29 passes for 190 yards and he also
rushed for 42 yards.
For Arizona (7-5, 5-4), Matt Scott threw for 230 yards and three touchdowns,
but he did so on just 19-of-39 passing and he was intercepted three times.
Ka'Deem Carey ran for 172 yards and a touchdown, while Garic Wharton led all
receivers with six receptions for 89 yards and a score.
The only score in the first quarter came from the Wildcats when Casey rushed
in a touchdown from one-yard out to give them an early 6-0 lead following a
missed PAT.
The Sun Devils responded in the second quarter with a pair of Grice
touchdowns. First he ripped off a 52-yard score with just under 10 minutes to
play in the half, then he added a two-yard touchdown three and a half minutes
later as ASU got up to a 14-6 lead.
John Bonano knocked through a 33-yard field goal in the final seconds of the
half to cut into Arizona's deficit.
Jon Mora added a 26-yard field goal to pad ASU's lead early in the third
quarter, but the rest of the quarter was all Arizona. Scott hooked up with
Austin Hill on a 22-yard scoring strike to bring the Wildcats to within one,
then they took the lead a few minutes later when Scott and Wharton connected
on a 40-yard touchdown. After a successful two-point conversion, Arizona had a
24-17 lead.
The Wildcats extended their advantage to double-digits later in the frame on
another Bonano field goal, this time from 23 yards out.
The Sun Devils came storming back in the fourth quarter. A Jon Mora 39-yard
field goal at the 11:51 mark got them to within a touchdown, the Grice rushed
in a four-yard touchdown with just over seven minutes left to tie the game at
ASU regained possession less than two minutes later following a blocked punt,
and on the very next play Cameron Marshall ran in an eight-yard touchdown to
regain its lead.
The Sun Devil defense came up with another big play when Robert Nelson
returned an interception 66 yards deep into Arizona territory. ASU put the
game out of reach shortly thereafter when Michael Eubank rushed in a touchdown
from one-yard out.
The Wildcats would add one more score in the final two minutes when Scott
hooked up with David Richards on a 17-yard touchdown, but they could not get
the ball back to try and tie the game.
The teams combined for 982 yards of offense on the night.

CINCINNATI (AP) — It was kindergarten brawl – not the kids but the parents. A melee erupted at a Kindergarten graduation celebration in a Cincinnati suburb yesterday.
Authorities say up to 20 people were involved and resulted in the lockdown of Mt. Healthy North Elementary.
Schools Superintendent Lori Handler says no one was badly injured after the fight broke out over an apparent domestic dispute. Handler says it had been a beautiful ceremony until someone started throwing punches.
She adds "people never cease to amaze" her. One parent tells WCPO-TV it's "pretty pathetic." Police are looking for one man on charges of assault and inducing panic.
