Disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated terphenyls (PCTs)
This Directive lays down rules to approximate the laws of the Member States on the controlled disposal of PCBs, the decontamination or disposal of equipment containing PCBs and/or the disposal of used PCBs in order to eliminate them completely.
Council Directive 96/59/EC of 16 September 1996 on the disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls and polychlorinated terphenyls [See amending act(s)].
Member States must take the necessary measures to ensure that:
- used PCBs * are disposed of;
- PCBs and equipment containing PCBs are decontaminated or disposed of.
Inventories must be compiled of equipment with PCB volumes of more than 5 dm3, which Member States must send to the Commission by September 1999 at the latest. The equipment and PCBs contained in the inventories must be decontaminated or disposed of by 2010 at the latest.
These inventories must supply the following data:
- the names and addresses of the holders;
- the location and description of the equipment;
- the quantity of PCBs contained in the equipment;
- the date and types of treatment planned;
- the date of the declaration.
Any equipment which is subject to inventory must be labelled.
Member States must prohibit:
- the separation of PCBs from other substances for the purposes of reusing the PCBs;
- the topping-up of transformers with PCBs.
Member States must take the necessary measures to ensure that:
- PCBs, used PCBs and equipment containing PCBs which is subject to inventory are transferred to licensed undertakings, at the same time ensuring that all necessary precautions are taken to avoid the risk of fire;
- any incineration of PCBs or used PCBs on ships is prohibited;
- all undertakings engaged in the decontamination and/or the disposal of PCBs, used PCBs and/or equipment containing PCBs obtain permits;
- transformers containing more than 0.05% by weight of PCBs are decontaminated under the conditions specified by the Directive.
The Commission:
- fixes the reference methods of measurement to determine the PCB content of contaminated materials;
- sets the technical standards for the other methods of disposing of PCBs;
- makes available a list of the production names of capacitors, resistors and inductance coils containing PCBs;
- determines, if necessary, other less hazardous substitutes for PCBs.
Within the three years following the adoption of this Directive, Member States must draw up:
- plans for the decontamination and/or disposal of inventoried equipment and the PCBs contained therein;
- plans for the collection and subsequent disposal of equipment not subject to inventory.
Key terms of the Act
- The acronym PCB means:
- polychlorinated biphenyls,
- polychlorinated terphenyls,
- Monomethyl-tetrachlorodiphenyl methane, Monomethyl-dichloro-diphenyl methane, Monomethyl-dibromo-diphenyl methane,
- any mixture containing any of the abovementioned substances in a total of more than 0,005 % by weight.

Scout project dedicated in Oyens
(OYENS)--A fresh look to the centerpiece of a display at St. Catherine's Cemetery was recognized in Oyens on Memorial Day.
One of the new flags added to the annual Memorial Day display was dedicated by the family of Ron Burkhard.
The program marked the dedication of Aaron Ruden's Boy Scout project which included landscaping around the flag pole and painting the flag pole. Ruden, a member of Boy Scout Troop 188, was joined by family and Scout leaders.
Bob Gengler served as Master of Ceremonies for the Memorial Day program that was offered in Oyens and Remsen by the Remsen VFW and American Legion Color Guard.
Due to high winds, the flags were taken down immediately following the 11 a.m. ceremony.(Oyens photos courtesy Sue Brandenburg/)

While covering the Spencer County Fiscal Court Monday, I noticed something disturbing. A couple of magistrates intermittently appeared to be typing on their cell phones during the course of the meeting.
Now in this day of constant information flow via text messages, Facebook and Twitter, and the unwillingness to separate from one's cell phone at all, this may not seem like a big deal.
But this was taking place during a public meeting — in which all communication involving public business is supposed to be available to the audience.
Spencer County ranks as the 11th healthiest county in Kentucky, which should come as no surprise if you've already read the story on the front of this week's paper.
Yes, according to the County Health Rankings, released last week and compiled by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute in collaboration with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, our fair county ranks among the healthiest 9 percent in the state.
Taylorsville has been rightly abuzz with discussions surrounding the proposed water rate increases the city commission will almost inevitably need to levy due to the state-mandated wastewater treatment facility upgrade slated to begin construction March 28.

The slot-machine-at-the-race-track crowd is trying to run daylight by the rooster. They got a Frankfort judge to rule that slot machines with pictures of dead horses can be placed in the race tracks when slot machines with pictures of cherries, oranges and lemons cannot.
With the type of blazing speed that would have made the legendary racehorse Secretariat proud, the Spencer County Fiscal Court yanked the curtains shut on one window of transparency for the new edition of our local government body.
The court, with only new magistrate Jerry Davis dissenting, stealthily approved a motion on Jan. 3 to stop its own videotaping – and recording in general – of its meetings.

Postdoctoral scholars (1) hold a doctoral degree or the foreign equivalent. Unlike Visiting Scholars, Postdoctoral Scholars enroll with the UCLA Graduate Division for an approved research and training program under faculty supervision. Postdoctoral scholars normally apply in response to a formal position announcement, though in some cases the postdoctoral position may be established independently with an individual faculty member.
Postdoctoral scholars in the Department of Urban Planning are relatively rare, as they usually require funding from a research project housed at UCLA, and the funding from these projects is most often reserved for UCLA graduate students. Most postoctoral positions in the School of Public Affairs are sponsored by research centers, not by academic departments.

ATLANTA-- The mass shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut has re-ignited the never-ending debate over gun control.
With two major colleges situated in the heart of Atlanta students increasingly find themselves sitting ducks when it comes to crime.
There have been a number of armed robberies and other violent crimes reported on and around the campuses of both Georgia Tech and Georgia State University.
The group Georgiacarry.org plans to lobby state legislators in this session to see that college students be given the right to carry guns on campus. Executive Director, Jerry Henry, said it is something other states are already doing including Connecticut.
"These college kids are easy targets. In a gun free zone they're totally helpless to protect themselves. They can't carry a weapon of any kind," said Henry.
Students we found on the Georgia Tech campus seem torn over the idea.
Shailee Thaker graduated just days ago and often made the walk to her off campus apartment.
"I don't think they should allow guns on campus because there's too much that could go wrong. Students could end up shooting their own fellow students possibly," said Thaker.
Alex Dowgwillow also attends the college and said as long as those carrying guns had training he thought it could help.
"I dont think it's going to increase violence at all. The robbers already have their weapons. If a student had a gun it would only be for safety," said Dowgwillow.
Ultimately, it will be up to legislators to back a bill then debate the merits of whether to arm college students but some are already weighing in.
State Senator Vincent Fort said the idea that more guns will make things better is a dangerous idea.
"I think there are things we can do to make locations safer, but this obsessive fixation on being able to bring guns everywhere and make them more available is the wrong way to go," said Fort.

Updated: Death on El Cap
A fatal accident occurred on the Muir Wall, El Capitan in Yosemite, California, on May 19.
Yosemite park officials have now confirmed that Mason Robison of Columbia Falls, Montana, died in a fall while trying to climb El Cap. He was 38 years old.
Yosemite Search and Rescue immediately responded to the accident and rappelled from the top of El Cap to extract the deceased climber. The surviving member of the team was also evacuated from El Capitan by YOSAR. An investigation of the accident is underway.
Robison was reportedly climbing on pitch 27 when he pulled off a block that cut his lead line, causing him to fall around 230 feet onto his haul line. Big-wall climbers routinely clip the haul line to a structural loop on their harnesses as a precaution against just such event. The dislodged-block reportedly caused more rock-fall, which continued down the wall and narrowly missed climbers who were on the start of the Nose.
The Muir Wall was first climbed by Yvon Chouinard and TM Herbert in 1965. In 1994, Scott Cosgrove and Kurt Smith freed 99 percent of the line just left of the Nose. The first free ascent went to Tommy Caldwell and Nick Sagar in 2001.
Rock and Ice will report on more details as they become available.

SACO, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Police have arrested a homeless man in connection with the death of a woman inside a motel room in Saco two weeks ago.
State Police Spokesperson Steve McCausland says detectives arrested 39-year-old Lebon Bruno Saturday and charged him with murdering 55-year-old Elizabeth Williams.
Williams was found severely injured inside a room at the Sunrise Motel on Route 1 in Saco on November 3rd. She was rushed to Maine Medical Center and died at the hospital a day later. Officials say Williams was homeless, and was well known all the Preble Street Resource Center in Portland.
The State Medical Examiner's Office has declared Williams' death a homicide, but no official cause of death has been released.
McCausland says Bruno and Williams had been involved in a relationship for some time and the death is considered a domestic violence homicide.
Bruno has been taken to the York County Jail and is due in court at the beginning of next week.

Richard Buchanan, PhD, is a professor of design, management, and information systems. He received his AB and PhD from a prestigious interdisciplinary program at the University of Chicago: the Committee on the Analysis of Ideas and the Study of Methods ("I & M"). Before joining the Weatherhead faculty in 2008, he served as head of the school of design and then as director of doctoral studies in design at Carnegie Mellon University. While at Carnegie Mellon, he inaugurated interaction design programs at the master's and doctoral level.
Dr. Buchanan is well-known for extending the application of design into new areas of theory and practice, writing and teaching as well as practicing the concepts and methods of interaction design. He argues that interaction design does not stop at the flatland of the computer screen, but extends into the personal and social life of human beings and into the emerging area of service design, as well as into organizational and management design.
In keeping with this conviction, Buchanan has worked on the redesign of the Australian Taxation System, the restructuring of service products and information for the U.S. Postal Service, and other consulting activities. At Weatherhead, he has pursued research into "collective interactions," focusing on problems of organizational change and the development of management education around the concept of Manage by Designing. His most recent projects involve strategy and service design, including patient experience, information services, and public sector design.
Buchanan is a widely published author and frequent speaker. His books include Discovering Design: Explorations in Design Studies, The Idea of Design, and Pluralism in Theory and Practice. He is coeditor of Design Issues, the international journal of design history, theory, and criticism; and has served for two terms as President of the Design Research Society, the international learned society of the design research community, with offices located in the U.K. In 2009, Buchanan received an honorary doctorate from the Faculté de l'aménagement (Environmental Design Faculty) at the University of Montréal.

Lineups: Grud Back
Sorry for the late lineup today. We were down in the clubhouse getting the Monarchs jerseys that the guys wore for Sunday's Salute to the Negro Leagues Day signed. The autographed jerseys are going to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and will be auctioned to benefit the museum and the Buck O'Neil Education and Research Center.
Today we reinstated Grud from the 15-day disabled list and said goodbye to Shane Costa, who was optioned back to Omaha to make room for Mark on the 25-man roster. As you'll see, Grud's wasting no time getting back into the mix, playing second and batting second in the lineup today. Tonight's game features Odalis (4-7, 5.56 ERA) against Tampa Bay's James Shields (6-4, 3.76 ERA). Here are those lineups…
For the Royals:
DeJesus – CF
Grudzielanek – 2B
Teahen – RF
Gload – 1B
Gordon – 3B
Butler – DH
Buck – C
Gathright – LF
Pena – SS
Perez – P
For the Devil Rays:
Iwamura – 3B
Crawford – LF
Harris – SS
Wigginton – 2B
Young – CF
Pena – 1B
Gomes – RF
Cantu – DH
Casanova – C
Shields – P
5 Comments
Ah, good psychic boost having Grudzelaniek back in the lineup, not to mention the defensive prowess at second. I kind of wonder about batting Gload in the cleanup position, but who am I to question management? They've been making a lot of right decisions lately.
I like Grud, but why would you want to bench German now when he's swinging a hot bat? I wonder about the management decision sometimes.
Now that you mention it, why not replace Gload with German? Or maybe, DeJesus, Grud, German and then Teahan to fill out the top of the order.
Teahan has been struggling. Let's change the top of the battle order to DeJesus, Grud, German, Buck, and then Teahan. Then Butler, Gordon, Gaithright, and Pena,
There's really not a weak link in that lineup, especially with Pena finding his way lately.

The aim of this experiment was to explore the effects of the neuropeptide FMRFamide (FMRFa) on the crayfish neuromuscular junction (CNJ). In previous experiments, DF2, a FMRFa-like peptide, has been shown to increase neurotransmitter (NT) release at the CNJ. We hypothesized that, like DF2, FMRFa would also potentiate the release of NT and thereby increase excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) amplitude. We also hypothesized that IBMX, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, would be needed to potentiate the excitatory effects of FMRFa, which it has been shown to do with DF2. To test these hypotheses, we exposed the crayfish to both a high and low Ca2+ Ringer's solution and to various treated solutions. The first treated solution contained just FMRFa, the second IBMX, and the third both FMRFa and IBMX. We then measured NT release by EPSP amplitudes, recorded from postsynaptic muscle cells via intracellular recording. Our data showed a trend that in both low and high Ca2+Ringer's solution, FMRFa did increase neurotransmitter release, supporting our first hypothesis. Our second hypothesis was rejected, for our data showed that in a FMRFa and IBMX treated solution average EPSP amplitude decreased.
Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2, or FMRFa, is a neuropeptide from a family of FMRFa-related peptides called FaRPs. DF2, belonging to this family of FMRFa-like peptides, has been shown to increase neurotransmitter (NT) release at the crayfish neuromuscular junctions (CNJ) (Skerret et al2005). Concerning the excitatory effects of DF2, Friedrich et al (1998) suggest that protein kinase C is involved, while Badhwar et al (2006) posit involvement of protein kinase A and G. Additionally, Noronha and Mercier (1995) claim that Ca2+-calmodulin dependant protein kinases are necessary for this excitatory effect of DF2. It has also been suggested that nitric oxide (NO), a retrograde messenger, is involved in FMRFa's ability to increase NT release. Rõszer et al (2006) suggest that FMRFa is a substrate source of NOS synthase in the gastropod nervous system, because it enhances NO liberation. Our experiment explored the relationship between FMRFa and DF2, a relationship that has not fully been addressed. Our experiment specifically tested to see if FMRFa would increase NT release at the CNJ, as DF2 has previously been shown to do.
We hypothesized that FMRFa would increases NT release at theProcambarus clarkii neuromuscular junction, increasing EPSP amplitude. We also hypothesized that IBMX, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor that slows the break down of cAMP and cGMP, would be needed to potentiate the excitatory effects of FMRFa (Badhwar et al 2006). To test our hypotheses we exposed the superficial dorsal extensor muscles in the tail of the crayfish to various solutions and measured their EPSPs. The first solution contained a low Ca2+ Ringer's solution, while the test solution was treated with FMRFa, then IBMX, followed by a combination of both. We repeated this process in a high Ca2+ solution to see if calcium was needed to potentiate the effects of FMRFa.
While our data was statistically insignificant, our results did indicate a trend towards slightly increased EPSP amplitude in low Ca2+ Ringer's solution with FMRFa present. Our data was, however, statistically significant in the high Ca2+, showing an increase in EPSP amplitude. Overall, our data supported our first hypothesis. Our second hypothesis that IBMX was needed to potentiate the effects of FMRFa was rejected. Our data showed that IBMX decreased the effects of FMRFa, suggesting that the excitatory effects of IBMX on DF2 are not analogous to those on FMRFa.
Saline Solutions
The low Ca2+ Ringer's saline solution was comprised of KCl 5.4 mM, NaCl 196 mM, MgCl2.6H2O 7.1 mM, Na Hepes Buffer 10 mM, and CaCl2.2H2O 6.0 mM, adjusted to a pH of 7.4. This solution was changed every 15 minutes. We then diluted the same solution with a 100 mM stock solution of FMRFa, to a concentration of 100 μM. To make our second test solution, we diluted the original Ringer's solution with a 100 mM stock solution of IBMX to a concentration of 100μM. This was done with a micropipettor. The third test solution was the Ringer's solution diluted down to a 100μM concentration of FMRFa stock solution and a 100μM concentration of IBMX stock solution. We then prepared the first and third test solution with a high Ca2+ Ringer's solution comprised of KCl 5.4 mM, NaCl 196 mM, MgCl26H2O 2.6 mM, Sodium Hepes Buffer 10 mM, and CaCl22H2O 13.5 mM with pH of 7.4.
Experimental Proceedings
The preparations were changed daily, and exposed to the solution for at least ten minutes before recording. We exposed our preparation to the FMRFa solution and IBMX solution on different days. Additionally, the preparation was always exposed to the FMRFa + IBMX soltuion directly after it was exposed to either the FMRFa or IBMX solution.
Crayfish Specimen
The crayfish were purchased from Carolina Biological Supply Company (North Carolina, U.S.A.). The crayfish were kept in an ice bath before dissection. We then cut alongside the tail's ventral surface and removed the swimmeretes, intestines, and abdominal muscles, leaving behind the dorsal superficial extensor muscle. We pinned the crayfish by two pins in a 200ml dissection dish, with silicone elastomer. We then poured the various saline solutions over the crayfish into the dish.
We used two electrodes, a recording microelectrode and nerve-stimulating suction electrode. We pulled apart the 1.2mm microelectrode with a PUL-1 micropippette puller. We then filled it with 3 M KCl, rinsed it in a saline solution, and placed it on the micromanipulator. The resistance of the microelectrodes were consistently measured to be >20 MΩ.
Nerve Stimulation and Data Recording
The suction electrode was connected to a stimulator, which stimulated the captured pre-synaptic nerve. It was stimulated with single pulses at a frequency of 0.5 Hz and at the lowest voltage possible to measure an EPSP. Using the micromanipulator we then placed the electrode in the muscle most lateral to the captured nerve to record the signals in the post-synaptic muscle cell. These signals were passed through an amplifier and recorded with the computing program Scope.
To see if FMRFa increased NT release we compared the EPSP amplitudes recorded from the crayfish tail while in a high Ca2+ Ringer's solution and while in a solution diluted with FMRFa. The differences in the mean EPSP amplitudes were statistically significant (p =0.003), showing us that FMRFa increased the EPSP amplitude. FMRFa increased the EPSP amplitude on average by 6.6 mV, which supports our hypothesis regarding the excitatory effects of FMRFa (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Average EPSP amplitude before and after exposure to FMRFa. High Ca2+: n=5, error bar indicates standard error of 2.5. High Ca2+ + FMRFa: n=4, error bar indicates standard error of 3.3. The p value is 0.003.
We then tested the effects of FMRFa in a low Ca2+ solution. The average EPSP amplitude recorded in the control solution was 12.6 mV, while it increased to an average of 13.5 mV when FMRFa was added. These results, while showing a trend that FMRFa increases NT release, were statistically insignificant (p=0.052). To test the hypothesis that IBMX would potentiate the effects of FMRF, we added both IBMX and FMRFa to the control solution. Our results show that IBMX decreased the effects of FMRFa on average by 3.8 mV, causing us to reject our hypothesis (Figure 2). This result was statistically significant (p2+solution.
Figure 2. Average EPSP amplitude before and after exposure to FMRF and IBMX. Low Ca2+: n=18, error bar indicates standard error of 1. Low Ca2++ FMRFa: n=13, error bar indicates standard error of 0.8. Low Ca2++FMRFa+IBMX: n=14, error bar indicates standard error of 1.1. p2+ to low Ca2++FMRFa+IBMX, and when comparing low Ca2++FMRFa to low Ca2++FMRFa+IBMX. p=0.052 when comparing low Ca2+ to low Ca2++FMRFa.
After our second hypothesis was rejected, we tested to see if IBMX would have the same negative effects if applied alone without FMRFa. To test this we compared the EPSP amplitude in a low Ca2+ solution to the EPSP amplitude in a low Ca2++IBMX solution. While the p value was 0.552, we saw that IBMX increased the EPSP amplitude on average by 2mV, n=4.
Our first hypothesis was that FMRFa would increase EPSP amplitude. Overall, our data supported a trend that FMRFa increases NT release (Figure 2). While we did see this trend, our data revealed unclear results. For example, in low Ca2+ our data was statistically insignificant, while it was significant in high Ca2+. In addition to this, our results varied from day to day, showing how biological variability affected our experiment. Our second hypothesis was that IBMX would potentiate the effects of FMRFa. Our data rejected this hypothesis, suggesting that IBMX in combination with FMRFa does not enhance FMRFa's effects, but rather reverses them (Figure 2).
Our experiment raises questions of the role of IBMX on NT release. Previous studies suggested that IBMX enhanced the effects of DF2(Badhwar et al. 2006; Morley et al. 2009). Despite the fact that DF2 is a member of the FMRFa family, our data suggests that IBMX does not have the same effects on FMRFa that it does on DF2. This observation is important, for the target receptor of FMRFa is still unclear. Therefore, there is room for further study as to whether or not FMRFa truly increases NT release, and if so by what mechanism it achieves this. Rőszer et al (2006) suggest that FMRFa is a substrate source of nitric oxide (NO), which could suggest that NO acts as a signaling molecule, increasing NT release. To test this question, L-NAME, an inhibitor of NO synthase, could be used to see whether the effects of FMRFa could be halted or reversed, suggesting that NO is involved in its excitatory effects.
Our data was the most unreliable in the high Ca2+ because the high concentration triggered action potentials that jeopardized our data collection. Our data, however, was statistically significant in high Ca2+, showing the largest difference between the EPSP amplitude of the control and that of the FMRFa solution (Fig. 1). Further testing is required to see how calcium affects the possible excitatory effects of FMRFa. Further tests could include using a calcium chelator, such as EGTA, to see if the observed excitatory response of FMRFa would be reversed by lower concentrations of Ca2+. This could suggest a possible target receptor for FMRFa.
In testing for the direct relationship between the EPSP amplitude of low Ca2+ and low Ca2++ IBMX, our data, although statistically insignificant (p=.552), showed that IBMX alone increased the EPSP amplitude by 2mV. This data was not as informative as our other data, because there were only four recordings taken to test the effect of IBMX. If these results were supported by future tests, they would suggest that FMRFa reverses the excitatory effects of IBMX. This would give us valuable information regarding the mechanism by which FMRFa increases NT release.

My only complaint was this recipe didn't make enough! Quick, easy and delicious
The breast meat turned out dry. I did not cook the breast meat until there were no more pinkness, I figured the breast meat would finish cooking while cooking the dumplings which it did. Regardless, the breast meat was dry. Also, the recipe could of used some salt and pepper, which I added to my own plate. I would replace the breast with thighs, or just dark meat. White meat tends to dry out too much. A lot of nice ingredients, and expensive! I would give this recipe a thumbs down!!! BOOOOOO roars this audience!
I want to make this recipe gluten free, could I substitute corn starch for the flour?

A Parent's Fight to Help
As she was writing part three of her fiction book series, Janine Cammarata hit a road block.
"The non-fiction stuff kept popping into my head," she says. "I knew that I had to stop everything else and write it."
She is living the "non-fiction stuff." Her words share the stories of her son Nick and eight other kids just like him. The nine are all cancer patients. Once strangers, they are now eternally linked by their battle with a terrible disease.
"I got very connected to all the families and really hoped for these young adults to heal," says Janine, the president of the Nick's Fight to be Healed Foundation. "A lot of them reminded me of my son."
Nick was just 13 when he lost his fight with cancer.
Nick Cammarata
Luke Romano, another of the young adults whose story Janine tells, was just 17. Her book, What Makes Them Amazing: Inspiring Stories of Young Adults Fighting Cancer, shares special moments from the lives of Nick and Luke, as well as seven others ages 13 to 24 who are still battling on. Janine says the determination and the selfless caring shown by those affected is truly inspiring.
"Quite a few of them have relapsed, and despite having to face some pretty hard obstacles, like re-learning how to walk or swallow, they still stay positive and they wanted to do something for other children too," Janine said.
Which is what Nick's Fight to be Healed Foundation is all about, helping others. Proceeds from the sale of Janine's book support the foundation, which along with many volunteers, works to improve the quality of life for children and young adults who have cancer. This is done, in large part, through support of a child life specialist for the Melodies Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders at the Children's Hospital at Albany Med.
|Comfort bags with items specifically chosen for individual patients are one of the many ways Nick's Foundation helps the children of Albany Med.
The inspiration to write this book came easily to Janine. The actual writing was difficult, but at times, cathartic.
"It's been a very hard process as I re-live a lot of it. I feel very connected to all the kids and when they suffer, I suffer. It's important that they learn there's always hope. It's helped me to heal. It also gives them something that will inspire them to grow."
Her words cannot cure cancer. They can, however, help children and their families create images and memories that will never fade.
Copies of What Makes Them Amazing are available by clicking here. The book debuted at the Clifton Park-Halfmoon Public Library on Sunday, December 2 at 2pm. More information can be found at www.fighttobehealed.org.

After-tax income for the highest-income households grew more than it did for any other group. (After-tax income is income after federal taxes have been deducted and government transfers—which are payments to people through such programs as Social Security and Unemployment Insurance—have been added.)
CBO finds that, between 1979 and 2007, income grew by:
The share of income going to higher-income households rose, while the share going to lower-income households fell.
Shifts in the distribution of market income underlie most of the changes in the distribution of after-tax income. (Market income—or income before taxes and transfers—includes labor income, business income, capital income, capital gains, and income from other sources such as pensions.)
Government transfers and federal taxes both help to even out the income distribution. Transfers boost income the most for lower-income households, while taxes claim a larger share of income as people's income rises.
In 2007, federal taxes and transfers reduced the dispersion of income by 20 percent, but that equalizing effect was larger in 1979.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The former New Jersey official at the center of a political retribution scandal dogging Governor Chris Christie said on Friday the governor knew about a traffic jam orchestrated by his top aides, the New York Times reported.
Christie, a leading Republican candidate for the White House in 2016, has repeatedly denied any knowledge of a plan to snarl traffic near the busy George Washington Bridge and severed ties with several top aides over their role in the incident.
David Wildstein, who resigned his post at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey late last year, said he had evidence that proves Christie had knowledge of the lane closures "during the period when the lanes were closed," according to a letter sent to the authority's lawyer and released to the newspaper.
The closures last September caused four days of severe traffic jams for residents of Fort Lee, New Jersey.
Christie, who won re-election in a landslide last November, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It's billed as a 10-minute procedure. No surgery required. No down time.
What's not to like about this permanent form of birth control? Plenty, according to hundreds of women who have filed complaints with the Food and Drug Administration.
It's called Essure. It uses two metal coils the size of spaghetti noodles and they're inserted into the Fallopian tubes to block conception.
Kim Hudak, of Lakewood, is among the hundreds of women in Northeast Ohio and across the country who say the coils have made their lives a living hell.
Hudak says she was forced to undergo a hysterectomy to remove the coils due to all the complications she believes they were causing.
"I had no quality of life. I had blackout periods. I was always in pain," she said. But nine days after she had the coils removed, she says she's never felt better.
"This is amazing. I'm so glad to have my life back," she said.
Hudak participated in the clinical trials for Essure at the Cleveland Clinic in 2000. She says she was unimpressed -- and notes that the study's doctors failed to listen to her complaints regarding a number of symptoms.
"I don't think they followed me closely enough," she said.
Hudak says doctors never suggested that Essure might be the cause of her unexplained pain, or that she might be allergic to the nickel in the coils.
Melissa Turner complained to the Investigator Tom Meyer that she felt as though a needle was sticking into her female parts.
"I was in horrible pain," she said. Turner also opted to have the coils surgically removed this month.
Much to her surprise, she became pregnant with Essure. The manufacturer says it is 99.83 percent effective.
"This was not supposed to happen, but I did miscarry," she said.
Amanda Lama had three children when she opted for permanent birth control -- or so she thought.
The Stark County woman had her fourth child with Essure.
"It was awful for me at first. I was devastated," she said, but added, " I love her to death, and I'd never give her back."
A company called Conceptus developed and manufactured Essure, but Bayer, the large pharmaceutical company, acquired the company this year.
In a written statement, Bayer said:
"Essure was approved by the FDA in 2002, and has a well-documented benefit-risk profile, with over 400 peer-reviewed publications and abstracts supporting Essure's safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness. Approximately 750,000 women worldwide rely upon the Essure procedure for permanent birth control."
"If this was a pervasive problem, you'd be seeing women coming in all the time with complaints and we're just not seeing it," said Dr. Mark Levie, a paid consultant for Essure. His office has performed about 1,000 Essure procedures.
Since 2002, the Food and Drug Administration has received 943 complaints from women about Essure. Women complain of extreme pain, bloating, fatigue, cramping and rashes, among many other complications.
The most frequently reported adverse events were pain (606), hemorrhage (140), headaches (130), menstrual irregularities (95), fatigue (88) and weight fluctuations (77).
The most frequent device problems were migration of the device or its components (116), patient device incompatibility, such as a possible nickel allergy (113), the device operating differently than expected (73), malposition of the device (46) and device breakage (37).
(To view complaints, see www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfMAUDE/search.CFM.)
The FDA acknowledges there are complications from Essure but said they're nothing out of the ordinary.
Still, the FDA called Essure an effective sterilization choice for women. The agency has no plans to remove it from the market and promises to continue monitoring complaints and symptoms.
By law, victims are not allowed to sue the manufacturer of Essure or any FDA-approved medical device.
But victims haven't given up their fight to try to get the law repealed.
They have a famous consumer advocate on their side. Erin Brockovich has launched a Web site --www.brockovich.com/projects/essure-procedure -- that encourages women to share their Essure stories.
Brockovich believes Essure should be removed from the market.

|Hunters to flock to Phillips Co. for pheasant hunting
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Expect an influx of visitors to northeastern Colorado as hunting season for pheasants opens Saturday, Nov. 9. Highly regarded for ideal hunting locations, avid outdoor sportsmen make their way to the corner of the state every fall.
Phillips and Sedgwick counties district wildlife manager Aimee Ryel noted that overall pheasant numbers are down by about one-third compared to last year.
Ryel stated the low numbers can be attributed to a noticeably smaller chick population due to a lack of insects for the chicks to eat. In an average year, around 8-11 eggs from a clutch will hatch. By the end of the summer it is common to see five-seven chicks with a hen but this year only two-three chicks have been spotted with hens as there just wasn't enough sustenance for chicks.
Daily bag limits for pheasants are set at three roosters while hens are off limits. The possession limit is set at nine cocks.
Hunting licenses in Phillips County can be found at Deaver Hardware in Holyoke and the Grainland C-Store in Haxtun. Licenses can also be purchased by calling 1-800-244-5613 or at www.wildlife.state.co.us. To purchase a license, a current and valid identification must be presented along with a proof of hunter education, habitat stamp and proof of residency.

W.Va. agencies await possible effects of federal budget stalemate
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- If the federal budget goes off the "fiscal cliff" on Jan. 2, the impact on state agencies would be serious, but not catastrophic, the state Budget Office director said Tuesday.
If Congress and the White House cannot reach a budget agreement by the end of the year, automatic cuts in federal funding to the states -- a process known as sequestration -- will begin to go into effect.
State Budget Director Mike McKown said that, while the cuts would vary from agency to agency, most would see their overall budgets reduced by 6 to 8 percent. The cuts would not come immediately.
"In nice round figures, if it goes through, it will be in the 6 to 8 percent range," McKown said of budget cuts for state agencies.
He noted that most federal grants are awarded in two-year cycles, so some agencies would not begin to feel the impact of sequestration until 2014.
"Some cuts would be in the next fiscal year, while most are a year or two away," he said.
Federal funding accounts for nearly 19 percent of the state's total annual operating budget, but McKown said sequestration applies to federal discretionary funds, and two major sources of federal funding, for Medicaid and for Highways and Transportation, would not be cut.
Nationally, sequestration would result in federal funding cuts of $110 billion in the 2013 budget year alone.
Funding cuts to state agencies would be painful, McKown said.
"But it's not catastrophic," he said. "Each program would have to be analyzed individually."
According to state Budget Office figures, about 4,700 of the approximately 40,000 full-time positions in state government are federally funded, with about 2,400 of those positions in the Department of Health and Human Resources.
Sequestration could eventually require state agencies to eliminate somewhere between 280 to 375 federally funded positions, or find alternative funding though state revenue sources.
That doesn't count county Boards of Education, which would see similar reductions in federal funding streams for Title I programs for low-income students, and for special education.
"Most of that money is going to pay teachers," he said.
For the 2013-14 budget year, which starts next July 1, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has asked most state agencies to submit budget requests that cut spending by 7.5 percent.
Public education, Medicaid and most Health and Human Resources accounts, Corrections and certain other state agencies are exempt from the proposed cuts.
The potential for additional 6 to 8 percent cuts on top of the cuts in state funding makes it difficult for agencies to plan ahead, McKown said.
Additionally, the "fiscal cliff" would result in automatic increases in federal income taxes and other federal taxes, and the resulting economic downturn likely would further affect state revenue collections, he said.
McKown said he personally believes Congress will act before or immediately after the Jan. 2 deadline.
"I would imagine you're going to see some movement there," he said. "I don't think you'll see them leaving for Christmas recess without doing something, even if it's just kicking the can down the road further."

DULUTH, Minn. - The Lake Superior Zoo says it has lost several animals in the damaging flood waters.
A zoo spokeswoman says a "beloved" donkey named Ashley died as well as sheep and goats in the zoo's barnyard area. Parts of the zoo were under water, including the train depot.
The flooding enabled the zoo's polar bear, Berlin, to escape her exhibit. Police spokesman Jim Hansen says officers helped zoo staff track down the bear overnight. It was tranquilized and returned to its cage. Hansen says even though a big, white object might be easy to find in the dark, it was still unnerving for the officers.
"Obviously, our entire staff is devastated," the zoo"s director of Animal Management Peter Pruett said in a news release.
One uplifting storyline involves the zoo's seal who was found outside the grounds on the side of Grand Avenue. Duluth resident Donald Melton was up late because of his newborn daughter and was checking out his Facebook page when he saw a posting by Duluth Police that a cross street near his was being closed due to flooding.
"I figured, well, the baby is sleeping," Melton says. "I will take a little ride down there and find out what's going on and see how bad it is."
A Duluth squad soon passed and he decided to follow and see where it was going. At that point, Melton noticed what he thought was an injured dog on the side of the road. He pulled over, walked over to check it out and found that the animal wasn't a dog, but a seal.
"I was a little dumbfounded," Melton laughed. "At first I had to think, 'Do we have seals? We don't have seals.'"
Eventually another motorist pulled over and the two kept watch on the wayward mammal until Duluth Fire and Rescue drove up and took the seal back to the zoo.
"I just wanted to get out and pet him, but I didn't want to mess with a wild animal either," Melton says. "I don't know what the trainers do at the zoo, but I just wanted to keep him safe."
Melton said he was glad fire crews came by because the seal never would have fit in the back of his Saturn.
"In the picture, he's kind of bug-eyed, but really he didn't look like that," Melton says. "He kind of looked like Snuffleupagus or a puppy dog. His eyelids were down most of the time. He looked pretty relaxed."
No animals considered dangerous left the permiter fence of the zoo.
The polar bear and two seals from the Lake Superior Zoo could be cared for by the Como Park Zoo during the cleanup process, according to Como Park Zoo Media Relations Coordinator Matt Reinartz.
Reinartz said that they have offered to provide a home for the animals.

An Official Website of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Unclaimed Property Notice, May 26, 2016:
Due to the high volume of claims in the Unclaimed Property Division, we have reorganized our office to focus exclusively on processing claims.
If you are calling about the status of your claim, please call back on Monday, June 13th, when we resume regular operations. Thank you for your patience.
Unclaimed Property Search
Located within the Kentucky State Treasury is a vault containing a Kentucky treasure, part of which may be owned by you! Rare coins. Fine jewelry. And, yes, cash. Those are just some of the items the Kentucky State Treasury, through the Unclaimed Property Division, is trying to return to their rightful owners.
Unclaimed property includes personal property or financial assets—such as abandoned savings and checking accounts, non-cashed checks, and travelers' checks—turned over to the state after a period of time, usually 3 years. In most cases, the owner of such property has forgotten that the particular property or account exists. Sometimes, an owner has died and the heirs don't know about the property.
Treasurer Ball is committed to returning unclaimed property to the residents of Kentucky. To that end, the Kentucky State Treasury publishes announcements in many of the Commonwealth's news papers and provides a search tool on this website (see above), that can be used to search the department's database free of charge. You can also call the Kentucky State Treasury toll-free at 1-800-465-4722 to determine if you or a loved one is among the thousands of Kentuckians who are owed unclaimed property.
Since the start of Kentucky's Unclaimed Property program in 1942, millions in cash and other assets has been collected. The Commonwealth currently holds more than $450 million worth of unclaimed property for over 230,000 individuals.
In 1994, the General Assembly transferred responsibility for the unclaimed property fund to the Kentucky State Treasury. Recently, Kentucky's Unclaimed Property Fund joined MissingMoney.com, a national database of unclaimed property. Currently, several states including Kentucky participate in the national database. Using the link on the Unclaimed Property Main Page, you can search the national database to determine if you or a loved one have unclaimed property in any of the member states.

I was a little worried when I ordered this jacket that it would be flimsy and cheap looking. But the fact is that this is a pretty well made jacket and looks it too. It has all of the important appointments: velcro tighteners at the sleeve cuffs, elastic lanyard and locks at the waist, all to insure a good warm fit. It also has a zip on hood. What puts this jacket ahead of other windbreakers is the fleece lining. Its surprisingly efficient. The first time I used it was at the lake for a dive, and the air temp was 45 dgrees with a pretty brisk wind. I was very comfortable. I also wore it on a number of nasty rainy days around town last week, and even though it is not water proof, the water resistant shell and fleece lining kept me warm and dry. Its a great jacket. You would have to pay several times more to get one that is better.

Ive already used this hood on several dives in 60 degree water, and it great. I expect to be diving in <60 degree water all winter, and Im confident this hood is up to the task. Great price, and super fast delivery too.

David Negron: Who needs mirrors? You do! But what you don't need are mirrors that are too flimsy to handle the rigors of adventure and dual-sport riding.
That's where DoubleTake Mirrors come in. DoubleTake Mirrors are designed to offer you all the rearview vision you need while tucking safely out of the way when the trail gets rough. Plus, they're built incredibly tough so if you do go down or whack a branch, the mirror will likely survive in fine fashion.
I installed DoubleTake Mirrors on my BMW R 1200 GS motorcycle and really liked what I saw.
The mounts are sturdy and made of high-quality, very tough material. The adjustable clamps allow the mirrors to be adjusted into just about any required position, including a complete fold down for more aggressive trail riding. Both on and off-road, the mirrors held their positions, and the mirror image held its clarity.
The Doubletake Mirrors are made for bikes with stock-threaded mirror mounts, so order accordingly.
Being the off-road adventure rider that I am, I give the Doubletake Mirrors a double thumbs up!
