Cataracts are a very common eye condition. As we get older the lens inside our eye gradually changes and becomes less transparent (clear).
Cataracts are a very common eye condition. As we get older the lens inside our eye gradually changes and becomes less transparent (clear). A lens that has turned misty, or cloudy, is said to have a cataract. Over time a cataract can get worse, gradually making your vision mistier. A straightforward operation can usually remove the misty lens and replace it with an artificial lens to enable you to see more clearly again.
This information is about cataracts in adults. Some children develop cataracts, called congenital cataracts, before or just after birth but these are usually dealt with in a different way to cataracts in adults. You can find information about congenital cataracts on our website.
When you look at something, light passes through the front of your eye, and is focused by the cornea and then the lens onto the retina. The lens is normally clear so that light can pass directly through to focus on your retina (the lens is clear because of the way the cells in the lens are arranged). The lens focuses light onto the retina, which converts the light into electrical signals. A network of nerves delivers these signals from the different parts of the retina to the optic nerve and then onto the brain. The brain interprets these signals to "see" the world around us.
The lens can change shape, allowing us to focus on objects at different distances, called "accommodation of vision". As we get older, the lens isn't able to change shape as well as it used to; even people who can see clearly in the distance without glasses will need reading glasses to see things up close. This process is not caused by a cataract.
Cataracts result from changes in the way the cells of the lens are arranged and their water content, which causes the lens to become cloudy instead of clear. When this happens, light cannot pass directly through the lens and you may notice problems with your vision. A cataract is not a growth or a film growing over the eye, it is simply the lens becoming misty.
Cataracts can be caused by a number of things, but by far the most common reason is growing older. Most people over the age of 65 have some changes in their lens and most of us will develop a cataract in time. Apart from getting older, the other common causes of cataract include:
In general, the reason why you have developed a cataract will not affect the way it is removed. Most cataracts are caused by natural changes in the lens, which happen as you get older. However, the following factors may be involved in cataract development (please note that these are only suggested causes which are the subject of ongoing research):
Cataracts usually develop slowly and although symptoms vary there are some symptoms that most people experience. Most people will eventually develop a cataract in both eyes, though one eye may be affected before the other. When your cataract starts to develop, you may feel your sight isn't quite right. For example, if you wear glasses you may feel that your lenses are dirty, even when they're clean. Gradually, you may find your sight becomes cloudier and more washed out. Edges of stairs or steps become more difficult to see and you may feel you need a lot more light to read smaller print.
Another common symptom of a cataract is a problem with bright lights. Lights can seem to glare, or you may find that the headlights of a car dazzle you more than they used to. You may also notice a slight change in your colour vision - things may appear more yellow than before. This often happens if one eye develops a cataract first and colours look different when you compare one eye with the other.
If you notice any of these changes, you should have your eyes tested by an optometrist (optician) who will be able to tell whether you have a cataract or not. The optometrist will then discuss the degree to which the cataract is affecting your vision and if you agree, refer you via your GP to the eye clinic. You may be told during the eye test that you have early cataract or initial signs of a cataract which does not need referral. If you are unsure about anything during the eye test then ask to have it explained. Eye tests are free for everyone in Scotland and for everyone over sixty years old in the UK. Many other people also qualify for free eye tests.
If a cataract isn't removed, your sight will become increasingly cloudy. Eventually, it will be like trying to see through a frosted window or a heavy net curtain or fog. Even if your cataract gets to this stage, it can still be removed and your sight will be almost as it was before the cataract developed.
The only effective treatment for cataracts is surgery to remove your cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial lens implant. This is done by an ophthalmologist (eye specialist) at a hospital. Lasers aren't used to remove cataracts and there is no evidence to suggest that changing your diet, taking vitamins or using eye drops can cure cataracts. Cataract surgery is available free on the NHS.
The operation to remove your cataracts can be performed at any stage of their development. There is no longer a reason to wait until your cataract is "ripe" before removing it. However, because any surgery involves some risk, it is usually worth waiting until there is some change in your vision before removing the cataract. This is something to discuss with your optometrist as a good time to refer may vary from person to person.
Most people choose to have their cataracts removed when the change in their vision starts to cause them difficulties in everyday life. The timing of this varies from person to person. If you have problems in bright light, or you find reading or getting out and about, cooking or looking after yourself increasingly difficult then it may be time to consider having the cataract removed. When you attend your appointment in the eye clinic you need to make clear to the specialists any everyday problems you are having.
When you are first referred to the eye clinic you will have an outpatient appointment to examine your eyes and then discuss the best options for you. This is the time to ask questions and it is useful to write down any you have thought of beforehand.
Many people with cataracts are still legally able to drive. If you have any concerns about whether you should be driving, your optometrist should be able to tell you whether your sight is within the legal limits for driving. Sometimes people may be legally able to drive but might find driving difficult in bright sunlight or at night. If this is the case, then you may think it is a good time to consider having your cataracts removed.
Before you have your cataract surgery, your eye health and general health will be checked carefully in what is often called a pre-operative assessment. Your vision and your eye will be measured very carefully. This is usually done by a machine which measures the length of your eye ball and the shape of the front of your eye. These tests help the ophthalmologist decide which lens to implant when they perform your operation, to make sure your vision is as good as possible after the surgery. If you have a cataract in both eyes your ophthalmologist will use these tests to decide which cataract to remove in the first operation. In most cases, this is the eye with the worst cataract.
Cataract surgery usually takes about 30 to 40 minutes and most people go home from hospital a few hours later. It is usually done with a local anaesthetic, which means you will be awake during the operation but you won't feel any pain. You can talk to the operating team if you need any assurance. The local anaesthetic may involve drops and an injection or just drops.
For your surgery, you will be given drops to dilate your pupil. Your face will be covered by a sheet, which helps to keep the area around your eye clean during the operation. To remove the cataract, the ophthalmologist needs to remove the natural lens in your eye and replace it with a plastic lens implant. The most common way to remove cataracts is called phacoemulsification. This technique uses high frequency sound energy to break up your natural lens with the cataract. Only really small cuts are used, so you don't need any stitches, and this helps to speed up your recovery from the surgery. Usually, the ophthalmologist uses a machine which acts as a microscope to get the best view of your eye as possible.
The lens in your eye is made up of different layers and the outside layer is called the lens capsule. During the operation, the ophthalmologist cuts through the front of the lens capsule so they can reach the lens inside. Using the same instrument, the ophthalmologist can break up your lens and the cataract inside your eye, and remove it using suction. Your lens capsule is kept in place so that the artificial lens implant can be placed inside it. The tiny implant is folded so that it can be put into the eye through the same instrument that is used to remove the cataract. Once it reaches the right position, the ophthalmologist unfolds the artificial lens so that it sits in the right place inside the lens capsule.
As you are awake during the operation, you will be able to hear what is happening in the operating room. You can also communicate with the ophthalmologist and the nurses who are on hand to reassure you. Because the eye is anaesthetised and your pupil is dilated, you may be able to see some lights and movement but not the details of the instruments used. You should not feel any pain in your eye.
A short time after your operation, your eye will be examined, to make sure the operation has been a success. Your eye will be covered with a dressing which stays in place when you go home, normally a few hours later. Your eye may begin to feel sore once the local anaesthetic starts to wear off. The pain isn't usually too bad and you can take a painkiller tablet, such as paracetamol, to help. The dressing, which is put on in the hospital, usually needs to stay on your eye overnight, but you should be able to take it off the following morning. Your eye may look red and you might develop some bruises but these will improve over the next few days.
Some people can tell that their sight has improved straight away. If your cataract was quite mild you might not notice a big change in your vision but if your cataract was quite bad you may be able to notice a bigger improvement. Either way, your sight may not be as good as you expect for the first week after the operation, as the eye is still recovering from the surgery and will probably be a little swollen.
Immediately after the surgery you will be given eye drops. You will probably have two types of drops - an antibiotic drop to prevent infection and a steroid drop to help reduce any swelling. It is important to take these drops as the ophthalmologist recommends and to complete the course. If you have problems using the drops you should let your GP know as they may be able to arrange some help for you.
Most people have no problems after the surgery and they are up and about as normal the next day. If your eye is very painful or your vision suddenly gets a lot worse, then you should let the hospital know as soon as possible as this may mean they need to see you again.
After surgery, you can usually go back to your everyday activities as soon as you feel able. Apart from taking eye drops, you can usually carry on as normal but you may need to avoid the following for the first week to ten days:
You also need to take extra care:
Usually, you will see the ophthalmologist about six weeks after the operation. At this appointment you can ask them about returning to all your usual activities.
The lens that is implanted in your eye is usually designed to give you clear distance vision without needing glasses. Sometimes this is not quite achieved and you will need a pair of distance glasses to fine tune the focus and get the best possible distance vision. Because the lens implant isn't able to provide in-focus near vision, nearly everyone needs to wear reading glasses after the operation and usually this is a different pair than you had before the operation.
In most cases an eye test, sometimes called a refraction, will be done four to six weeks after the operation. This maybe done by an optometrist in the hospital or you may be asked to see your own optometrist.
Some lens implants are available which try to provide clear vision in the distance and up close. These are called multi-focal lenses. There are different types available, but usually implanted in the same way as the more common lenses. At the moment, multi-focal lenses are normally only available privately.
If you have cataracts in both eyes, the period between having the first and second operation can be difficult. This is because your eyes will not be balanced in terms of glasses and correction for any short or long sight you may have. Normally, people are encouraged to wait until they have a second operation before getting new glasses. This avoids the need to buy glasses that would only be useful for the short time between the operations. Some people find they can manage with their old reading glasses, but this may not be possible for everyone. The gap between the two operations is usually about six weeks to three months so most people can manage.
Cataract surgery is generally very successful. Only about three per cent of people who have cataracts experience complications. The most common complications can be dealt with and usually don't affect sight in the long term.
One of the most common complications is a thickening of the lens capsule which holds the lens in place. This may occur a couple of months or even years after the original operation. If this happens, your sight will become cloudy again, as though the cataract has come back. Doctors call this complication posterior capsule opacification or posterior capsule thickening and it is usually easily dealt with by a small laser operation done through an outpatient appointment. There is information available on posterior capsule opacification if you contact our Helpline on 0303 123 9999.
More serious complications are much rarer and include:
These complications are much rarer and treatments are available which will minimise their effects on your vision. Before being offered a cataract operation the ophthalmologist will talk you through the potential risks specific to your situation.
People with cataracts often have other eye conditions as well. This is because many eye conditions affect older people. For example, many people with macular degeneration, glaucoma or diabetic eye problems also develop cataracts. Removing cataracts when you have other eye conditions is possible, but there may be other things to consider. Ask your ophthalmologist to explain any extra considerations for a cataract operation in your particular circumstances.
Being diagnosed with an eye condition can be very upsetting. You may find that you are worried about the future and how you will manage with a change in your vision. All these feelings are natural. RNIB can help you with our telephone Helpline on 0303 123 9999 and our emotional support service.
Most people who have cataracts without any other eye conditions have very good vision following the operation. However, if you have another eye condition that affects your sight, or there are complications with the cataract surgery which affect your sight, then there are lots of things you can do to make the most of the vision you have. This may mean making things bigger, brighter or using colour to make things easier to see. Ask your ophthalmologist, optician or GP to refer you to your local low vision service.
Our Helpline can also give you information about low vision clinics and the support available from social services on 0303 123 9999. They can also offer advice if you have any difficulties accessing these services. Our website offers lots of practical information about adapting to changes in your vision and products that make everyday tasks easier.

Runners make their way down 44th Drive in the Queens borough of New York during the New York City Marathon on Sunday, Nov. 6, 2011, in New York. / AP Photo/Kathy Kmonicek
NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York City Marathon is a go for Sunday, and while logistical questions persist one thing is certain: The 26-mile route will have a disaster for a backdrop.
And a debate.
"I think some people said you shouldn't run the marathon," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a news briefing Wednesday. "There's an awful lot of small businesses that depend on these people. We have to have an economy. There's lots of people that have come here. It's a great event for New York, and I think for those who were lost, you've got to believe they would want us to have an economy and have a city go on for those that they left behind."
Race organizers were still trying to assess how widespread damage from Superstorm Sandy might affect plans, including getting runners into the city to transporting them to the start line on Staten Island. Easing their worries a bit was news that 14 of the city's 23 subway lines were expected to be operating by Thursday morning -- though none below 34th Street, an area that includes the city's financial district and many tourist sites.
And there were runners like Josh Maio who felt torn about whether the race should go on.
"It pulls resources and focus away from people in need," said Maio, who dropped out due to an injury but is coaching about 75 runners.
While he agrees the race is a boost to local businesses, he is uncomfortable with the city devoting so much to an "extracurricular" event.
Top American Meb Keflezighi, the 2009 men's champion, regards the marathon as "something positive ... because it will be motivation to say, `Look what happened, and we'll put on the race, and we'll give them a good show."'
New York Road Runners President Mary Wittenberg said organizers planned to use more private contractors than past years to reduce the strain on city services.
She compared this year's race to the 2001 marathon, held seven weeks after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, as a way to inspire residents and show the world the city's resilience.
She expects the field will be smaller than the 47,500 who ran last year because some entrants can't make it to New York, but said so far organizers had received no more cancellations than normal.
Meantime, traffic choked city streets as residents tried to return to work. Two of three major airports in New York area re-opened with limited flights and limited commuter rail service resumed.
Utilities say it could be days before power is fully restored in the city and on Long Island.

Temporary restaurant Jan 05 2011
Chef John Fraser's new NYC restaurant will be designed to be open for only nine months...until the building it's in is demolished. Some other unusual things about the restaurant: diners set their own tables, chairs are from eBay, and it's funded in part via Kickstarter.
With little more than two weeks before the planned opening, he was still formulating the initial menu and pricing. For one appetizer he envisioned a Gruyere, leek and potato veloute; for another, Arctic char in aspic. For entrees he was mulling a pork cheek, a veal shank, Dover sole for two. These would probably be served as part of a three-course prix fixe for $58, he said.
Nothing too unconventional there. But beyond the plate, he said, anything goes. Although he'll take reservations, he's bypassing the Web service Open Table (too cumbersome). And he's curious about having a marching band stomp through some night. Obligatory resourcefulness has given way to revolutionary thoughts.

An Occupy Chicago protester sent in these photos of some ominous-looking equipment installed recently at the top of a street lamp across the street from Occupy Chicago HQ, at the corners of Jackson and LaSalle in Chicago's financial district. They write:
I don't really know what authority Chicago Police Department has to listen in to random people's cell phone calls, especially since Occupy Chicago has been particularly non-violent. Has been in place for 3 days, and witnesses reported that the poleman installing the gear looked way too happy to be installing this equipment.
The tipster goes on to say that they've begun to spot unmarked surveillance vans parking directly beneath the equipment, and multiple activists have noticed that "their cellular and 3G service have gone to shit since the install." With a G8 and NATO summit planned for Chicago in 2012, the CPD has been getting "lots of money for toys like this," they tell us.
If you have experience working with this sort of equipment, tell us what you know about it in the comments. Is Big Rahm watching us?

challenges facing Palestinian Christians in the areas of scriptural
interpretation, interreligious dialogue, and Christian presence and mission.
on Dr. Daibes's appointment, Academic Dean James Kay said, "As Christmastide
approaches and our thoughts turn to the Prince of Peace born in Bethlehem,
Princeton Seminary welcomes Father Jamal Daibes, a distinguished Palestinian
theologian, from the ancient City of David. He will help our seminarians better
understand the mission and witness of the church amid the seemingly intractable
conflicts of today's Middle East. This is a wonderful opportunity for the
entire Seminary community to expand our horizons, to connect with our fellow
Christians in Palestine, and to deepen our commitments to interreligious
dialogue on behalf of a more peaceful world."

I know this is an old thread, so sorry for bringing it back to live...
Has anyone already managed to get a rip of these "rendr disc"?
The Reason I need such a rip is following:
I have two BD-Players. One which i am using with rendr now (with disc) and one i would like to use with rendr.
The first player really needs the rendr disc to work. The second player runs BD-Live fine from DVD or even from USB-Stick,
so if i could manage to get a rip from the original disc, I would be able to use it there...
Unfortunately I don't own one of those new BD-ROM drives for PC, and I failed to rip the disc using my BD-Player.
So if anyone managed to rip these disc, please contact me

CAIRO (AP) -- After a night of deadly violence between crowds of his supporters and opponents, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi is inviting the opposition to what he calls a "comprehensive" dialogue starting Saturday at his presidential palace.
But he's offering no sign that he might make any meaningful concessions. He is refusing to rescind a draft constitution that was quickly approved by his allies, or the decrees that granted him nearly absolute powers.
Morsi's speech came a night after thousands of his supporters and foes fought in the streets near his palace, leaving at least six dead and nearly 700 injured.
He angrily accused some of the opposition protesters of serving remnants of the authoritarian regime of former president Hosni Mubarak.
As Morsi spoke, thousands of opposition protesters were still gathered near the palace -- and some raised their shoes in contempt.

Andy Harris: Supporting Wealthy Corporatists
I never bought into Oliver Stone's version of the Kennedy assassination; I disagreed with those who thought Bush was involved in ordering the 9/11 disaster, and I never gave a second thought to those who believed the US moon landing was staged in New Mexico. However, I have come to a startling realization: wealthy corporatists want to destroy the Middle Class in America!
I used to think it was unlikely that corporations wanted to hurt their consumers…after all, who would buy their products? Sadly, my 'aha' moment came after researching jobs outsourcing and its impact on corporate profits. I was shocked at the rate of increased profits from China, India and Latin American countries, fueling the next generation of growth, all supported by Andy Harris and other Tea Party faithful. Profits, coming from overseas sales, made by overseas factories, employing overseas workers!
From the June 2011, US News & World Report, "…about 40 percent of profit for firms listed in the S&P 500 stock index (are) now coming from overseas. These same corporations "keep certain profits overseas to avoid paying U.S. taxes on them."
According to the US News article, here's a breakdown of foreign profits from just 5 of America's largest corporations: Exxon-Mobil, 45%; GE, 54%; IBM, 64%; Dow, 67%; Intel, 85%. Any wonder why the US corporate community cares little about the American worker…the majority of the American Middle Class?
When the American Middle Class is finally diminished to the point that they are willing to accept jobs for any wage offered, the corporations will have accomplished their goal. Who will fight for the American worker, when Unions are no more, destroyed by elected officials who are supported by wealthy corporations?
When there is a "rich class" and a "poor class", guess who will wield the power in our country? As they have done for the past 30 years, the wealthy corporations will continue to whittle away at Middle Class wealth and power, until there will be little or nothing left. The power shift is close to completion, and it is being accomplished on all levels, including legislative (State & Federal levels), regulations (State & Federal levels) and Court decisions (State & Federal levels). The Court cases have been one of the best avenues for significant change, where the Citizens United and related decisions have given corporations the same "rights" as persons, something that would have been unheard of before the Robert's Court. Nothing in the Constitution gives personhood to corporations!
I recall a quote I used to laugh about: "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get you!" It's not funny any more! It is elected officials, like Andy Harris, who is helping to convince the Middle Class voter that outsourcing jobs and giving corporations tax breaks and more power, is in their best interests!

A playful Green Day stormed their way through a near three hour long show at Wembley Stadium on June 19, and described it as "the biggest show of our f--ing lives" during the set.
Having played Wembley Arena last autumn, the graduation to the stadium, as part of an eighteen date European tour, was a triumphant one; the punk stalwarts romped through a mammoth 34-song set that spanned their entire career, from breakthrough hit 'Basketcase' to more recent material from 2004's critically acclaimed 'American Idiot' and last year's '21st Century Breakdown,' the NME reported.

WIMBLEDON, England — In preparation for Wimbledon, Serena Williams took in a Green Day concert at Wembley Stadium and, with the Queen of England scheduled to visit the tournament Thursday, practiced her curtsy in front of the mirror.
Of Green Day, she gushed: "They were so close."
Williams was much more animated on other topics. Like Green Day (she pronounced herself a "massive" fan). And The Queen (she does plan to curtsy, if given the opportunity, and she would welcome an introduction).

Poetry: 'The Kings', 'Only My Mother'
Published: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 8:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 8:33 p.m.
Have you heard the news, the Kings are coming
the drummer boy, he's doing his drumming,
it's the time of year, when we celebrate,
it will have to do, though it's the wrong date
most people are smiling and humming carols,
shop, shop, shopping, reaching in barrels,
to find that perfect thing, for Bobby or Sue,
when searching our hearts is what we need to do
If Muhammad, Jesus or Krishna is your King,
thank them all, for giving us voices to sing,
about the freedoms that they, gave to us all,
the hope and the joy, hearing our call
bringing us out, out to the light,
removing us from the darkness of night,
for they gave their lives, so we could be free,
they started it all, they made others see
so when we celebrate, this wonderful day,
let us not forget, how it got this way
I have seen the strife,
The struggle,
The cruelness of life
Today I found the strength I need
To fight right back and not fall to my knees
I looked in her eyes and
Found what it takes
To be a good mother
A woman of strength
Now the years, that have flown so fast
Are slowing at last.
A little less worry
A little less tears
Just a few worries, it must be the years.
I look in your eyes and
I find what it takes
To be a good mother and
A women of strength

Sheriff's Office warns of scam
Published: Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 11:50 p.m.
Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office is warning residents to beware of a phone scam where people are duped into believing they are helping a family member in jail.
The scam usually involves a caller claiming to be a family member in distress and asking for money, said Sheriff's Office spokesman Brennan Matherne in a news release.
The caller may say his or her voice is different because of illness, Matherne said. The caller typically tells of some sort of conflict that requires immediate money through a Moneygram or Western Union transfer.
The scam may also involve a separate call from someone claiming to be in law enforcement and seeking to corroborate the conflict. The release states residents should always verify information by asking as many questions as possible and finding ways to independently check it.
The release also suggests using caller ID to verify the caller and contacting other relatives about the call.

The Who Performs 'Quadrophenia' in Brooklyn
The Who are marking their 48th anniversary by performing their 1973 recording "Quadrophenia"; they did so last night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. As one of popular music's great long-form works, the 17-song "rock opera" is worthy of revival. Thus the evening turned on whether the Who, with its two surviving members in their late 60s, was capable of performing its tough, aggressive and demanding music. The answer was yes and no.
Augmented by three keyboards and two horns, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, with long-time cohorts Simon Townshend on guitar, Pino Palladino on bass and Zak Starkey on drums, set out to duplicate faithfully "Quadrophenia" and its blend of rock, ballads, English music hall and repeated motifs. As it unfolded, its narrative — a disenfranchised teen careens among varying personalities until he finds his true self — was supported by a seamless stream of videos that placed the tale in its historical context: the turmoil of the post-war years in England. In doing so, the videos also told the story of the Who, and they were a clever, affecting contribution to the program as they celebrated the band's deceased members John Entwistle and Keith Moon: At one point, Entwistle was shown and heard playing a rubbery bass solo, culled from a live version of "5:15" recorded in 2000, while below the images drummer Starkey accompanied him. Later, Moon, full of impish charm, sang "Bell Boy" as the live musicians played on.
If the band approaching its golden anniversary lacked the steady fury required to reveal the music's emotional core, they made subtle adjustments to ensure the beautifully constructed work was well presented. For the most part, Pete Townshend substituted an appealing growl for an earlier sweetness in his voice. Though Palladino and Starkey, both extraordinary musicians, were hamstrung by having to play parts made familiar by their predecessors, they did so with needed energy. Simon Townshend took over some of the lead-guitar duties from his older brother.
Daltrey gave a touching performance, soldiering on despite unmistakable evidence that, on this night, he was incapable of singing with the power and elasticity required for some of Pete Townshend's compositions. He turned over the vocals on "The Dirty Jobs" to Simon Townshend and needed a break during a shaky reading of "Doctor Jimmy." When the band built to the climax of "Love Reign o'er Me," Daltrey declined to go for the roaring final yawp, smiling instead as he held the microphone at his side.
The band returned for a six-song encore, which pleased a not-quite capacity crowd caught somewhere between a time warp and a sentimental mood. If the Who was at times removed from the greatness of its prime, "Quadrophenia" showed itself as a major work of lasting value and a high point of '70s rock.

Con-con Meetings End, Committee to Prepare Proposals Arlee: With the last of the Con Con district meetings winding up this weekend (Feb. 28 and March 1), the Constitutional Committee faces the difficult task of sifting hundreds of ideas and notions into a concrete constitutional proposal. The committee has an April 5 deadline to finish their business and deliver their draft to the Tribal Council. The ten member committee began a schedule of six district meetings early last month to find out what changes, if any, the people of the tribe wanted in the 39 year old constitution. The ten articles of the constitution, the by-laws and amendments have been extensively reviewed in the four meetings held thus far (Ronan and Elmo met as Char-Koosta went to press). Virtually hundreds of opinions and suggestions have been recorded by the committee and from these, and the work of the committee members themselves, a draft proposal must be completed within a month. The proposal will be submitted to the Council during the second quarterly Tribal Council meeting at the Dixon gym, April 5. The areas most commonly discussed at district meetings and where change seems to have the most support are: . Law and Order and legal jurisdiction....enrollment procedures ...elections and government... and administration of natural resources, especially the forests Law and Order has been one of the hottest issues at the district meetings. Many people feel that concurrent jurisdiction has stuck Indians between a resentful state court system and an inept tribal court. Some say it is hard for an Indian to get just treatment either way. At the Arlee Con-Con meeting, Kevin Howlett, Arlee, said that tribal court snould not only be concerned with trying _(cont. on page 3)_ Doing Something About Protecting Tribal Lands Council Makes Jocko Arlee Indians Want Southfork A Wilderness Missions Preserved Arlee: There will be no more logging or development of any kind in the tribal hunting, fishing and gathering area of the southfork of the Jocko River. The ban will also exclude the proposed construction of two potent Montana Power transmission lines across the area. The large creek basin in the south east corner of the reservation was set aside for the exclusive cultural and recreational use of tribal members in 19 6 8. However, the area was not taken out of the forestry schedule and since it was restricted, there have been several logging projects including the one-million board feet Burned Cabin project which ended last year. There is also a small, 230 kilavolt (KV) power transmission line which bisects the lower end of the southfork drainage one mile north of Yellow Lake. The current line presently runs from the Montana Power generating plant at Colstrip to the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) terminal at Hot Springs. The utility has proposed to add two more large lines to the right of way. The two new lines would carry 500 KWeach and, together, would be powerful enough to meet the requirements of about 5,000,000 people; or a residential area about the size of greater Seattle. There has been serious environmental objection to the project over the radiant energy thrown out of the lines known Arlee: Tribal members attending a Constitutional Convention meeting in Arlee February 22, voted unanimously to stop all logging operations in the Mission Mountains. The vote was taken after tribal member Richard Orton, Arlee, asked the Con-Con committee if there was any way a new constitution could include a provision for undeveloped wilderness areas on the reservation. Seventeen of the 35 persons at the meeting favored such a provision...there were no votes against the wilderness concept. Orton and several other tribal members have drafted a petition calling for a tribal refer- as "corona: Very little is known**10"™ °n tne Mission logging about the effects of corona... issue- The petition reads: the constant discharge of elec- "We the undersigned mem-trical power from the lines...on bers of the Confederated Salish (next page) Kootenai Tribes do hereby state that we are opposed to any logging in the Mission Mountains on the Flathead Indian Reservation." In addition to the referendum, the group said it would seek other ways of halting logging on the Missions. They asked the people attending the Arlee meeting to support their petition and asked the Committee if it would be possible to include a Mission Mountain "environmental pact" in their constitutional proposals. The group also said it would propose the Mission wilderness concept to the Tribal Council. Although most persons in the Arlee audience agreed with the principle of halting logging in the Mission, some felt that most people in the tribe wanted the money more than the mountains.

Try Again
Manchin, Toomey should renew effort
April 28, 2013
At another time, in a different context, U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin might have been successful in a proposal he and three other senators offered recently....
So Manchin is angry because he says the NRA lied about his turd of a bill? Well guess what Joe, lots of gun owners are angry that you lied about a need for this law.
There are background checks done on gun show purchases, as there are on internet gun sales as well. Manchin knows that too! But, all politicians know that only gun owners, and of course, political junkies actually research the issues. Most Americans rely on the "sound bite" answers. If the explanation lasts longer than 15 seconds, their eyes glaze over.
He also claimed that transfers between family and friends would be exempt from background checks. The bill did exempt family member gun transfers, it didn't say squat about a sale to your friend being exempt.
Joe bragged about being a gun owner to get elected. I hope WV gun owners remember how loyal he is to them come election day. My two Senators split on the issue, Portman earned my support. I'll work for whoever challenges Brown next time around.

Heck, let's outlaw nails and cars and dogs and airplanes and kitchen knives and gas stations and...you know what.. let's just outlaw everything. how about we outlaw congress? our congressional leaders, senate, and executive branch are responsible for more deaths than any of those things.

By the logic of this gun control talk, we now need to outlaw pressure cookers because they were used in the bombings in Boston. get real people...

The senate has spoken, now lets move on to bigger issues like how to generate jobs and improve the economy. Gun control nuts... You lost! Case close.deal with it! Move on! I guess I made my point

Where is the internet address that one can go to and buy a modern firearm without the weapon passing through licensed dealers? If only 4% consider gun control(Gallup poll) a pressing problem, why the big push? Was it only because the President seemingly can't do anything to help the real problems of the economy and it provided a wonderful diversion for the masses? Was it because the evil black gun wasn't the problem but the person using it was? Where are the multiple articles condemning Dr. Kermit Gosnell for his atrocities or has he even been mentioned in this paper? He has killed thousands of babies and gets no ink. Why not a ban on forceps or suction machines?
3 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
How is it common sense to write new laws when current laws are being ignored? You can blame a lack of police or prosecutors as Biden did but that's an excuse. With only 6 of every 1000 crimes prosecuted, with gun show laws ignored, why will new laws work if old ones do not, particularly given the microscopic number of crimes committed with guns purchased from gun shows? Other regulations you support is the assault weapons ban, statically proven that it did not work and the size of magazines. Adding a folding stock or pistol grip to classify a weapon an assault rifle does no more to reduce crime than restricting magazine size yet you and the extreme left champions both. What you do not support is exempting concealed carry permit holders from undergoing duplicate background checks to exercise their inalienable rights. You claim you support common sense regulations but I wonder if you know what common sense is.

Do you support common sense gun regulations? Obviously the majority of people would agree to this question. Unfortunately, no one seems to be able to agree on what common sense is.

Would the Senator consider exempting current concealed carry permit holders from additional background checks?

Eric Church wears his own kind of hat.
He's a country boy who loves to rock. His biggest hit is named after a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer -- "Springsteen" -- yet he name-drops Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and other country icons in his songs. He's comfortable chatting about both Merle Haggard and Mumford & Sons.
He's finally been embraced by the country music establishment, after years of operating on the fringe. Yet he believes the country genre classification is an outdated concept.
As if to prove his point, Church has signed on to perform at this weekend's BottleRock Napa Valley, a proudly eclectic three-day affair offering everything from indie pop and hip-hop to reggae rock and Top 40. He'll headline the festival on Sunday, after iconic modern-rock troupe The Cure and royal rap duo Outkast take the top slots on Friday and Saturday respectively.
Church has definitely earned his place among such distinguished company. He's one of music's brightest stars, having jumped up to the top tier of country touring artists with the success of his third album, "Chief," which won the Academy of Country Music Award for album of the year in 2013.
His most recent offering, "The Outsiders," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, sounds like no other album in recent memory. It pushes the envelope in so many ways -- both sonically and conceptually -- and can be viewed as a kind of country cousin to Kanye West's "Yeezus." We spoke to the 37-year-old North Carolina native, as he was preparing for his trip to Napa.
Q "The Outsiders" is one of the year's most daring albums -- and I don't mean that in regard to just the country realm. It sounds so vastly different from "Chief." That had to take guts, given the last album's overwhelming success.
A Very rarely in anybody's career -- especially in music -- do you have the chance to just kind of go for it. You normally have all these voices and all these different people involved. We've never had that in our career -- we've always been given free range. A lot of it has to do with our past. People ignored us early on -- including our label.
When success happened, we did it on our own. All the people who ignored us just then came back and said, "Keep doing what you are doing." So, we were really able to have that freedom.
With this album, I really felt like there were no rules. There was not one time that we said, "Well, we can't do that" or "That's not this type of music or genre." I think what you hear there is a very free and liberated creative force.
Q I've read that you are really hoping that people don't listen to "The Outsiders" on shuffle.
A It doesn't really work on shuffle. There are songs that will not go well with other songs. They just don't. It's meant to be listened to as an album. I know that, in this day and time, that is a big thing to ask. But I do feel like there are people out there who want to experience it that way. And I do think they will have a better experience for it, if they do.
Q Did you grow up listening to albums that are meant to be experienced from start to finish -- like Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" and Willie Nelson's "Red Headed Stranger"?
A Yup -- all those. I am still a big vinyl fan. I am a vinyl collector. It's one of my hobbies. One of the things I love about records and the turntable format is that you put the needle down and let it go. It's too much of a pain to skip (songs).
The real good albums from that era were made that way. They were made knowing that people were going to listen in order. I think that changes things, when you make an album you think about, "OK, this is what the listener's experience is going to be." In the digital age, and being able to skip around and singles and downloads, you no longer think of it that way. You just think of it as individual songs that you are putting in a package. I think that does the whole album concept a disservice.
Q So, you definitely think there's still room for the album concept in the 21st century.
A There's no way we're even talking right now if we didn't focus on albums from the beginning, because we didn't have that success at radio. I didn't have those singles, so I could go out and fly the flag and say, "Here's our hit song." For us, it was about people getting the records and adapting them to their lives -- attaching to them emotionally, playing them in their trucks or wherever, over and over and over. That's what gave us a career.

PFS RAPID REVIEW – Prisoners
BY Sam Rossman
Of all the times I've seen him play Wolverine, I've never seen Hugh Jackman as angry as his character in Prisoners. He and the rest of the cast all turn in great performances in this unpredictable drama. The film is lengthy and does drag at times, but when all is said and done, you're left with a satisfying payoff.

Thanksgiving in Berkeley 75 years ago was celebrated with a number of "union" church services where Christians from several denominations and congregations gathered together under the auspices of the Berkeley Council of Churches. On Nov. 25, 1937 participants worshipped in three locations for central, north, and south Berkeley services.
They were held at First Congregational; Northbrae Methodist; and the Church of the New Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, Scandinavian churches held their own separate union service, and Episcopalian and Roman Catholic congregations carried out business as usual without consolidated services.
There was also a "Berkeley Unity Service" at the Women's City Club.
Berkeley Mayor Edward Ament issued a Thanksgiving proclamation that was printed on the front page of the Berkeley Daily Gazette. "We are thankful that we have passed through the dangerous strike situation, and we are hopeful of a peaceful understanding between labor and capital, and that we are at peace with all Nations," he wrote, in part.
"On this Thanksgiving Day ... all people should cease from their labor, and in the home, the church or in the aisles of some deep wood where God's smile is mirrored in the flame of Autumn's glory, give thanks to Him for the richness of harvest time; for the contentment of home, love and friendship."
Of course there were the traditional Thanksgiving dinner specials offered by several local restaurants in one advertising section. They ranged in price from 45 cents at the Berkeley Inn (Telegraph and Haste) for a "Grand Turkey Dinner" to $1 at various establishments, including the Hotel Durant, where the choices included "Baked Smoke Ham, Pilgrim Style," Hubbard squash, "Colonial Dame Salad, Hot Mice Pie, Plum Pudding, Frozen Eggnog" and fruitcakes and fruit cups.
The Thanksgiving weather in Berkeley was "fair and mild" with "gentle northerly winds."
Local temperatures the day before Thanksgiving ranged from 46 to 60 degrees.
"The United States celebrated Thanksgiving today, attending religious services, eating turkeys, and watching football games," the Gazette reported.
Thanksgiving shopping
Shopping for bargains right after Thanksgiving was a phenomenon 75 years ago, as now. Hink's department store held its "last dollar day before Xmas" sale the day after Turkey Day. A full-page ad offered "200 smart dresses" discounted to $7 or $12 each, "500 winter coats" for between $16 and $49, and 87-cent card table covers, among other items.
J.C. Penney opened a bigger downtown store, with sale items from "virgin wool, moth proofed" blankets for $6.90 each to "Glamorously sheer Gaymode Silk Hosiery" for 79 cents a pair. The store at 2190 Shattuck Ave. had "more floor space; enthusiastic employees" according to a big spread in the Nov. 27, 1937 Gazette.
It ran 55 feet along Shattuck, twice the previous frontage. By today's standards the store, at the northwest corner of Allston, still looked fairly traditional, with a neoclassical brick facade. The store had several new departments and featured "Toyland, said to have the most complete stock of toys in Berkeley."
Future cities
The Nov. 26 Gazette carried an advertisement from Shell Oil with a large photograph of a model "City of Tomorrow." In that metropolis, the ad said, "you'll loaf along at 50 (mph) right through town. Complete separation of traffic moving at different speeds will end today's confusion."
Cities would have, the ad predicted, "express streets" for longer trips, with no pedestrians or stop lights, separate from "one-way local streets made wider by the elevation of sidewalks, elimination of parked cars, and loading trucks. Pedestrians will walk, shop, and cross the streets at the second-story level", while motorcars would park inside buildings.
The ad noted that average drivers in 1937 made 30 traffic stops a day.
