BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota news anchorman who was fired after uttering a couple profanities during his debut joked with David Letterman that he wouldn't mind a job with ESPN.
A.J. Clemente appeared on Letterman's late-night talk show Wednesday, chatting with the host about saying two obscenities just as cameras began to roll during the 5 p.m. Sunday newscast. He was first suspended, then he was fired Monday by KFYR-TV in Bismarck.
The clip of Clemente's gaffe went viral online and gained national attention.
When Letterman asked him if he wanted his job back, Clemente replied, "I've thought about it, but if, you know, ESPN comes knocking ... "
Letterman said, "that ain't gonna happen," and told Clemente that he was trying to get him his job back in Bismarck.
"There should be an offer, and they should apologize to you," Letterman told Clemente. "And you should go back because you're man enough to face the music."
Dick Heidt, general manager of KFYR-TV, declined comment on that prospect, telling The Associated Press that he can't discuss Clemente's firing because it was a personnel matter.
Clemente has said he swore on the air because he became frustrated while practicing pronouncing the name of the London Marathon winner and didn't realize his microphone was on.
On Letterman's show, Clemente said he "crawled in bed and called my parents" after the gaffe.
"But the next day, you know, you've got to pick yourself up, you've got to laugh at yourself and, you know, keep going," he said.
Letterman credited Clemente with providing "a great lesson" with that statement before joking around again, asking Clemente, "Now, what about these goons in Bismarck? Are they going to give you the job back?"
Clemente laughed, then said, "they aren't goons."
If you want to vote whether you think KFYR did the right thing firing A.J. or not, go to our poll question on this website and vote.

- Kawakami: Golden State Warriors are a whole new ballgame
- Poole: Even without Dwight Howard, Golden State Warriors win
- Warriors lose Dwight Howard, win Andre Iguodala

- Report: Warriors looking to deal players to make room for Dwight Howard
- Jul 2:
- Purdy: Dwight Howard not worth the trouble for Warriors
- Jul 1:
- Poole: Warriors' Dwight Howard chase worth the risk
- Warriors trying to acquire Dwight Howard
The Warriors will be granted a chance to talk with free agent center Dwight Howard in Los Angeles once the window opens Monday.
They're on the list. Joe Lacob, Bob Myers and Mark Jackson will get in a room with Dwight at some point; that means they have a shot.
That alone is a mini-victory for Lacob, who has striven to lift his team into contention for any and all of the top stars, whenever they hit the market.
And it doesn't get any more high profile than getting on the list for Dwight -- even if the Warriors have to be considered the longest shot on the board, behind Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, the Clippers and the Lakers, possibly in that order.
Maybe the Warriors are getting used a little bit, just to add another hungry team to the big-money mix. Maybe Howard and his agent Dan Fegan are curious, but not serious.
Maybe the GSWs really have a way to pull this off. I think the Warriors are fine with any interpretation, they just want the meeting and then see what happens.
At this point, you have to consider all possibilities, and again, just getting a meeting with Howard is a step up from where the Warriors have been.
With that understood, the Warriors are long, long, long, long, long shots in this derby because ...
Of course, Dwight has been known to change his mind a time or two; he's a disruptive influence at almost all times. Maybe not a bad guy, but definitely not a low-maintenance superstar.
You might call these reasons for the Warriors NOT to pursue this route -- they've got a great locker room atmosphere and they've bragged about it incessantly. Even getting in this chase, and having big names mentioned as trade chips, could sour that mood.
But I'm told the Warriors believe Howard is such a great player that they'll accept the shenanigans, before, during and possibly after his arrival.
They want to sell what they've got going on -- to Dwight, and, if he reacts positively, that shines more light on the things they've got going on. See how that works?
Who wouldn't want to play an inside-outside game with Stephen Curry? Who wouldn't want to be David Lee's front court mate?
Who wouldn't want to play in front of those Oracle crowds? Who wouldn't want to play for Mark Jackson, into the playoffs, in the Bay Area, land of tech endorsements?
That's the pitch Lacob will make, believe it.
I'm told the Warriors won't do this for Andre Iguodala, Andrew Bynum or Josh Smith... it's just for Dwight Howard, Lacob's great target ever since he bought this team, and still his No. 1 target, even now, with the team turning a corner.
Still, a lot of things would have to happen to get the Warriors anywhere close to a deal for Howard, and here are the main ones:
1) The Lakers have to be convinced that Howard will leave for nothing if they don't do a sign-and-trade with another team that's agreeable to him.
Again: Howard can sign outright with Houston, Dallas or Atlanta. If he likes one of those situations particularly, it doesn't matter what anybody else does or thinks, he can sign July 10, done deal.
But ... What if he wants to consider other teams who'd have to sign-and-trade to get him?
In that case, Howard's camp would have to alert the Lakers that he's ready to bolt to a team that can sign him outright, UNLESS the Lakers work out a deal with a S/T offer.
I don't know if Howard's anywhere near such a threat -- or if the Lakers would believe it or react to it. But all of that would have to happen for the Warriors to get seriously into the mix.
And then they'd still be competing with the Clippers and maybe another team or two... and that doesn't even account for the fact that Houston, Atlanta and Dallas could offer S/T deals, too.
If it got to that, the arms race would be swift and crazy.
2) The Warriors' pitch will have to be strong enough to get Dwight exploring how he could end up here -- and not in the other places.
I don't know what Howard thinks. Nobody really does. I'd guess the Texas teams are closest to his heart, and then maybe the Clippers, just a guess.
I do know that Fegan has steered his guys out of or away from the Warriors in the past, most notably Gilbert Arenas, Al Harrington and Ricky Rubio, but that was under the Cohan/Rowell/Nelson regime.
Fegan has warmer feelings for the Warriors now, especially Lacob, who has gone out of his way to make a connection with Fegan.
As for Dwight ... maybe he really has dreamed his whole life about playing next to DLee. I just don't know.
3) The Warriors will have to meet the Lakers' demands if they do agree to the S/T concept after pressure from Howard.
Any Warriors offer would start with Andrew Bogut, unquestionably.
Bogut is an immediate near-straight-up replacement for Howard to help keep the Lakers competitive and he only has one year and $14.2M remaining on his deal, which helps clear up the LALs luxury-tax mess.
Key points:
But if the Lakers ask for Harrison Barnes, too, would the Warriors do that? I don't think the team has made any kind of final call on that kind of expanded deal.
If it was up to me, I wouldn't put Barnes into any larger deal ... and I'm not sure I'd put Bogut in there, either, but the Warriors might do both. And they still might be short on the offer.
Could the Warriors sweeten the pot (and give the LALs needed salary-cap relief for 2014-15) by adding either Richard Jefferson or Andris Biedrins' expiring contract ... which could mean the Warriors taking back Steve Nash's remaining two years and $19M, Jordan Hill or Steve Blake or both?
I've heard the GSWs think this might be a back-door bonus. It gets complicated, though, because the Lakers have so many contracts coming off the books next summer, anyway.
The GSWs could give the Lakers a good center (Bogut), a player to help build a new foundation (Barnes, an NC product like Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak) and $25M in cap relief next summer (with the expiring deals of Bogut and Jeffers0n).
4) The Warriors will have to beat out Houston, Dallas and the others vying for his services.
Even if Dwight likes the Warriors, there's a practical problem and it's the same one that stymied them in the chase for Kevin Garnett six long years ago.
Would the Warriors have to give up so much in the theoretical deal that it basically turns them into exactly the same kind of creaky, capped-out situation -- a lot of mediocrities around Dwight -- that Howard is yearning to bolt?
Remember, they'd also be on the hook to Howard for four years and $88M.
The Warriors would almost certainly willing to do it and see how far Dwight, Curry, Klay Thompson and a few others could carry them.
They'd launch themselves into the luxury tax, they'd break up a lot of the spirit of 2013, they'd depend on Mark Jackson's personal strength and chemistry.
And it'll all be on the shoulders of the NBA's most famous serial non-committer.
It's probably worth a shot. But it's a long shot. And it also could backfire immensely even if they get him.

The XRPD pattern of a crystal form at a given thermodynamic state point serves as a fingerprint for the form under the given conditions. Information encoded in the XRPD pattern includes whether a material is a single phase or a mixture of phases; the size, shape and symmetry of the unit cell; the position of the molecules in the unit cell; and the crystallite strain, among other information. Despite the wealth of information available, routine interpretation of XRPD patterns is often limited to a qualitative visual comparison that, at best, underutilises the available information and, at worst, leads to incorrect conclusions. Extracting information from an XRPD pattern beyond visual interpretation adds significant value and greatly enhances understanding of crystal forms. XRPD indexing is one method that can be used to extract information and aid the interpretation of XRPD patterns.
XRPD indexing is the process of determining the size, shape and symmetry of the crystallographic unit cell for a crystalline component responsible for a set of peaks in an XRPD pattern. Indexing gets its name from the assignment of Miller index labels to each of the peaks in a pattern. The size and shape of the unit cell is determined as part of the indexing procedure. Generally, the unit-cell information is of greater interest than the Miller index labels. Indexing makes use only of the positions of the observed peaks. Peak positions are determined by the crystal symmetry and dimensions, as well as the X-ray wavelength utilised. Other techniques, such as Rietveld refinement, may be used to extract additional information using the peakintensity information (2); however, that is beyond the scope of this article.

Well, if November's election goes as widely expected and Gov. Jerry Brown trounces Neel Kashkari, at least the Republican challenger has a new career waiting: Radio host.
Kashkari, a former Treasury Department official from Laguna Beach, on Wednesday will do his third radio guest-hosting gig in as many weeks, filling in for Jillian Barberie to co-host the Mid-Day LA program on KABC 790 with John Phillips from noon to 3 p.m.
On Tuesday, he guest-hosted the Chris Daniel Show on News/Talk 580 and FM 105.9 KMJ in Fresno. And on June 20, he guest-hosted the John & Ken Show on KFI 640.
There's no question that Kashkari is using these appearances for electioneering. In announcing the Chris Daniel Show gig, his campaign had said he would "be joined in-studio and on the phone by elected officials and community leaders to discuss a variety of issues including the state's faltering business climate, the water crisis, Governor Brown's 'Crazy Train' and making Republicans once again competitive in a predominately blue state." An almost-identical statement preceded the John & Ken Show gig.
Federal Communications Commission regulations require that if a broadcast station lets one legally qualified candidate for public office use its facilities, "it shall afford equal opportunities to all other candidates for that office to use such facilities."
This "equal-time rule" is applicable here, said Jonathan Kotler, an attorney and associate professor in the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Brown's campaign would have to request the equal time, he said.
"The Brown campaign has to make a call -- do they want the free time, or if I were their strategist, I'd think the best strategy would be to ignore him (Kashkari) because there must be a lot of people out there like me who have never heard of the guy," Kotler said.
Besides, can you even imagine Brown hosting the John & Ken Show? They'd get so many calls that it would crash all of Southern California.
Asked whether the governor might seek equal time, campaign consultant Dan Newman replied, "Unlikely -- he has a busy and demanding day-job."
July 2
Congresswomen Anna Eshoo and Jackie Speier will host a town-hall meeting Monday at the Palo Alto VA Hospital on veterans' access to care — a touchy topic given recent revelations of VA shortcomings and malfeasance.
Veterans are invited to come and get answers to questions about the VA's health care appointment process; Palo Alto VA Director Lisa Freeman will be there, too.
President Obama on Monday nominated former Procter & Gamble CEO Robert McDonald as his new Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Secretary Eric Shinseki resigned in May amid revelations of chronic, system-wide failure and veterans dying while on long waiting lists for treatment.
"Amid deeply disturbing revelations about delayed care of veterans throughout the nation and the scandal of information being manipulated, it is critically important to not only review wait times for care but also have veterans ask their own questions and have them addressed," Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, said in a news release Wednesday. "This town hall meeting will provide a forum for veterans in our region to share their experiences with access to care at the Palo Alto VA, and, moving forward, help to develop even better systems to improve the VA hospital for our veterans."
Speier, D-San Mateo, said in the same release that the "scandalous issue" of VA employees in other states manipulating appointment lists to conceal long waiting times "has damaged the credibility of the VA health care system."
"It doesn't appear that this despicable behavior exists in Northern and Central California," she said. "But I want veterans who use VA hospitals and clinics in our area to have a chance to comment on the quality of the access to care they receive. I thank the VA Director for not only providing my staff with their insights on the challenges they face in caring for over 130,000 veterans, but also in agreeing to host a town hall meeting at the hospital."
The meeting will be from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Monday, July 7 in the auditorium of VA Palo Alto's Building 101, at 3801 Miranda Ave. in Palo Alto.

Breast cancer is a disease in which cancer cells grow in the breast tissue. Although male breasts do not fully develop, they do contain most of the same basic breast structures as women. Male breasts include small glands called lobules, ducts, and the nipple. These structures are also surrounded by fatty tissue. All of these structures are susceptible to developing breast cancer.
Breast cancer in men is rare. This makes awareness of the disease uncommon.
Types of breast cancer found in men are:

Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. Eventually these uncontrolled cells form a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant growths. These growths can invade nearby tissues including the lymph nodes. Cancer that has invaded the lymph nodes can then spread to other parts of the body. The lymph nodes associated with breast cancer are in the armpit, above the collarbone, and in the chest.
It is not clear exactly what causes these problems in the cells, but is probably a combination of genetics and environment.
Breast cancer is more common in older adults. Factors that may increase your risk of developing breast cancer include:
When breast cancer first develops, there may be no symptoms at all. As the cancer grows, it can cause the following changes:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. This includes a thorough manual breast exam and blood tests.
In most cases, diagnosis can be confirmed with a biopsy. A tissue sample will be removed and sent to a lab to look for cancer cells.
Imaging tests can help with diagnosis and determine the extent of cancer. These may include:
The physical exam, combined with all of your test results, will help to determine the type and stage of cancer you have. Staging is used to guide your treatment plan. Like other cancers, breast cancer is staged from I-IV. Stage I is a very localized cancer, while stage IV indicates a spread to other parts of the body.
Cancer treatment varies depending on the stage and type of cancer.
A combination of therapies is most effective. For example, radiation may be used before surgery to shrink the tumor or after to make sure all the cancer has been removed.
Treatment options include:
The goal of surgery is to remove the tumors and any affected tissue.
Surgical procedures include:
Radiation therapy is the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink remaining tumors.
Radiation therapy can be:
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. It may be given in many forms including pill, injection, or IV. The drugs enter the bloodstream. They travel through the body killing mostly cancer cells. Some healthy cells are killed as well.
The following therapies may be used in conjunction with chemotherapy:
Cancer treatments can cause some side effects like loss of appetite, nausea, anemia, increased risk for infection, or pain. Other medications or treatments may be needed to minimize these problems throughout your cancer treatment.
There are no current guidelines to screen for breast cancer in men. Finding breast cancer early and treating it promptly is the best way to prevent death. Since breast cancer does not cause symptoms in the early stages, be aware of any changes in your body and talk to your doctor about them.

NEWARK -- De La Salle High can still win a record sixth straight North Coast Section wrestling championship, but it's going to be a three-team race to the wire.
Less than nine points separate tournament leader James Logan, Windsor and De Le Salle after the first day, and all three are positioned to make a run. James Logan has six wrestlers in the semifinals, while Windsor and De La Salle have five apiece.
"There are going to be some head-to-head matches that will probably determine this championship," said James Logan coach Eli Bagaoisan. "I think it's not going to be settled until the finals are over.
James Logan is a half-point ahead of Windsor, 141-140.5, while De La Salle is third with 132.5 points. Wrestling resumes at 9 a.m. Saturday at Newark Memorial with the fifth round of consolation. The semifinals will start at 10 a.m., with the finals scheduled for 6 p.m.
The first head-to-head matchup in the semifinals comes at 132 pounds, when Felix Bonavente of Logan faces De La Salle's Nathan Cervantes. The other head-to-head in the semis will be at 195, between Clayton Hartwell of James Logan and Windsor's Paris Henry.
The Spartans' only top seed, Donovin Guerrero, rolled into the 106-pound semifinal with three pins, as did second-seeded Cervantes at 132. Cervantes also racked up three falls.
De La Salle's biggest surprise came at 160 pounds, where Marcello Orozco knocked off fourth-seeded Tauva Austin of American 2-0, then beat fifth-seeded Ricky Cavender of Fort Bragg 4-2 in the quarterfinals.
But while Orozco earned a berth in the semis, the Spartans suffered a setback when Jack Walsh, the No. 2 seed at 145 pounds, was upset 7-4 by Mission San Jose's Enrique Green in their quarterfinal match. At 126, the Spartans' David Conte reached the semis against Devin Lyle of Liberty, recording three pins. Gavin Hummel upset Antioch's Iosefa Papalagi, a returning placewinner, 11-6 and will face Foothill's Arthur Knatt at 170.
James Logan's three top seeds, Jacob Macalolooy (138), Jacob Donato (120) and Hartwell (195), also pinned their way into the semis. Joining them are Raymond Monela (106) and Zack Wally (220).
The Spartans have four wrestlers still alive in the consolation bracket when wrestling resumes Saturday. Windsor, which finished third last year, still has seven in consolation. Logan has just two.
None of the No. 1 seeds lost a match, but the closest thing to an upset came at 145 pounds when Granada's Angel Beltran held off Windsor's Beau Colombini 1-0, scoring a second-round escape.

Since the late 1970's, there has been a significant increase in the prevalence
of feline hyperthyroidism, making it the most common feline endocrine disorder in
the world. What causes hyperthyroidism, and why is it so common? Previous studies
of cats in the U.S., Great Britain and New Zealand have identified a number of risk
factors for the development of hyperthyroidism, including genetic predispositions,
the feeding of some canned cat foods and cross-breeding. Furthermore, some veterinarians
believe feline hyperthyroidism is simply an outcome of cats living longer. But,
if thyroid dysfunction is symptomatic of old age, why is it not more common in dogs,
or people for that matter?
Veterinarians first noticed a dramatic surge in feline
hyperthyroidism in the 1980's. This rise coincided with the prevalent use of PBDE's
as a flame retardant in many products. A chemical flame retardant used widely in
carpet pads, furniture, and electronics, PBDE (or, polybrominated dephenyl ethers)
were researched in a recent EPA study that suggested that these chemicals may partly
explain the current epidemic. PBDE's linger in the environment, and cats ingest
the substance in both foods and by licking their fur which retains house dust laced
with toxic PBDE particles. Furthermore, studies have also shown a link between hyperthyroidism
and BPA in the lining of many canned cat foods. Life's Abundance is proud to inform
our consumers that the lining in our canned foods is BPA-free.
An Environmental
Science & Technology study reported in 2007 looked at whether hyperthyroid cats
had greater body burdens of PBDE's, and found that all cats have high levels compared
to humans, with some cats with incredibly high levels (Dye et. al, 2007). The potential
link between feline hyperthyroidism and PBDE exposure may be the veritable "canary
in the coal mine" when it comes to evaluating the human health impacts of PBDE's.
People in the United States have the highest PBDE levels reported worldwide, according
to a 2004 study also published in Environmental Science & Technology. By gaining
a more complete understanding of chronic indoor PBDE exposure and its effects on
thyroid hormone levels in cats, medical researchers can better assess whether the
same risk exists for people. Researchers believe that further studies need to be
performed before concluding a direct link between PBDE's and feline hyperthyroidism.
There is good news, however. It isn't necessary to rip up your carpet and throw
out your furniture as these chemicals have been or are in the process of being banned
in many states. And cats still live longer, healthier lives if they live primarily
indoors, and the risk of being attacked by other animals or hit by a car while roaming
outside is still much greater than the risk of developing hyperthyroidism from PBDE
What can you do if your cat has already been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism?
What are the symptoms? In this video, Dr. Sarah reviews the signs of hyperthyroidism
and treatments available. If you suspect your kitty has hyperthyroidism, schedule
an appointment with your local veterinarian.

Analysis: Narrator Point of View
Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and, more importantly, can we trust her or him?
Though all works of literature present the author's point of view, they don't all have a narrator or a narrative voice that ties together and presents the story. This particular piece of literature doesn't have a narrator through whose eyes or voice we learn the story... because it's a play, and the audience only really gets at the bowler-hatted characters romping around onstage.

Twitter Response to #myNYPD Turns Sour
Do you have a photo w/ a member of the NYPD? Tweet us & tag it #myNYPD. It may be featured on our Facebook. pic.Twitter.com/mE2c3oSmm6
— NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) April 22, 2014
UPDATED | A day after a New York Police Department effort to engage the public on Twitter turned sour, the commissioner defended the campaign and said it will continue.
Around 2 p.m. Tuesday, @NYPDnews, the official Twitter account for the NYPD, posted a well-meaning tweet asking users to share their photos posing with members of the department. The tweet encouraged using the hashtag #mynypd.
The tweet immediately went viral when people began posting photos officers in alleged acts of police brutality under the hashtag, allowing people to see photos depicting the police in both positive and negative lights in one seemingly endless stream.
In response, Commissioner William Bratton said Wednesday that he welcomed both types of photos. He said the department welcomed "the extra attention."
"Was that particular reaction from some of the police adversaries anticipated?" Mr. Bratton said. "To be quite frank, it was not, but at the same time it's not going to cause us to change any of our efforts to be very active on social media"
"We'll continue to go forward," he said. "It is what it is. It's an open, transparent world."
To ease the tension, Mr. Bratton jokingly pulled out his smart phone and a snapped a picture of the press corps, saying he will tweet it from his account with the #myNYPD hashtag.
"You're now going to be tweeted," he said.
Great to see so much press for #DenimDay NYC today & to connect with all on Twitter. pic.twitter.com/QQaDLMAx6x
— Commissioner Bratton (@CommissBratton) April 23, 2014
Mr. Bratton has made the use of social media one of the cornerstones of the NYPD's effort to engage with the community. He appointed Zachary Tumin as deputy commissioner of strategic initiatives to oversee the effort.
"I'm as you know a strong supporter and advocate of the social media," Mr. Bratton said Wednesday. "During my brief time here in the department we have moved aggressively into all those arenas — blogs, Facebook, Twitter, you name it we're attempting it and will continue to expand our activities in that area."
Shortly after being sworn in Mr. Bratton created a twitter account, which is manned by a member of the department who crafts tweets on his behalf.
Last week the department began rolling out a pilot program in which five precinct commanders across the city began tweeting news from their neighborhoods. The idea is to give commanders a new avenue to communicate with the public, officials have said.
The decision to request photos grew out of a successful effort earlier this month in which the NYPD received a photo of a uniformed officer helping a blind woman to the cross the street, NYPD spokesman Stephen Davis said. The photo was so well received that a decision was made to solicit more photos of the public interacting with New York City police officers.
"This is a good way to reach out to people," Mr. Davis said.
For a while the effort seemed to work, but then hashtag went viral with thousands of users posting photos of police officers fighting with citizens. In one, police officers can be seen holding down a photographer. Many photos were scenes from Occupy Wall Street, where on a number of occasions officers and protestors fought.
Asked if the NYPD would seek to have any of the photos taken down, Mr. Bratton said the department would do so only if obscene photos were posted, and that none so far warranted such a request.
"The reality of policing is that oftentimes our activities are lawful, but they look awful, and that's the reality," Mr. Bratton said.
"What I have seen so far that came up yesterday, of officers engaged oftentimes in lawful police activities, there's nothing I saw that I'd be knocking on their door to withdraw," he said.
With that he said the campaign was "continuing."
"That hasn't stopped," he said, adding, "send us your photos, good or bad."

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — The front-page media buzz of late has been the give, take and presidential spin over lawyers' arguments before the US Supreme Court and questions posed by the justices in connection with judicial review of Obamacare.On trial is the Constitutionality of that law's mandate that every American obtain a policy of health insurance that meets government's standards. Since the decision is not expected to be handed down until some time in June, the subject is expected to continue to command media attention, particularly since President Obama is "whistling through the graveyard" by publicly questioning the propriety of the High Court reviewing a law passed by Congress and signed by the President.All of this is something of a smokescreen emasculating another Constitutional hiccup arising out of the 2,000-page Obamacare law ... whether the federal government can mandate that faith organizations must engage in acts that are contrary to their historic doctrines. Recently the US Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") issued a regulation pursuant to the Obamacare law requiring that enterprises affiliated with faith organizations must furnish or pay for contraception for their female employees.Most directly impacted by this regulation is the Roman Catholic Church which sponsors universities, hospitals, public charities and any number of other enterprises which directly relate to or arise from the tenants of the Church's teachings. The resulting hue and cry from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops was so overwhelming that few other voices were heard although the Presbyterians, Lutherans, Episcopalians, Methodists and other religious institutions also sponsor hospitals, universities, charities, homes for the elderly, etc. Perhaps they are yet to be heard from.It is pretty clear that the government can prohibit faith institutions from carrying out practices which constitute crimes or torts under common law. Congregations cannot sacrifice virgins, assault parishioners, smoke peyote or engage in other practices which the government has a historic duty to prevent. In some cases exceptions to general laws are culled out as evidence that government is not hostile toward religion (for example, Nevada law which prohibits possession of alcoholic beverages by minors exempts "possession for an established religious purpose").But can the government force parishioners to commit adultery? To dishonor their father and mother? To covet their neighbor's ox? If such hypothetical laws sound ridiculous, how logical is it that the government can force the Roman Catholic Church's institutions to furnish or pay for items of contraception which church doctrine forbids?Politically this is smoldering just below the surface. Diocese of Reno Bishop Randolph Calvo and Diocese of Las Vegas Bishop Joseph Pepe jointly wrote HHS "objecting to a mandate ... that would force religious organizations to provide coverage for abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization and other contraceptives." The US Conference of Catholic Bishops stated that this dispute is not about supplying contraception but about "an unwarranted definition of religion" prohibited by the First Amendment which provides "Congress shall make no laws respecting the establishment of religion."Superimposed on all this is the fact that Catholic voters, who historically trend Democratic, broke Republican by 54 to 44 in the 2010 GOP landslide election, according to Pew Research.So will the Catholic bishops mount a court challenge to the Constitutionality of the Obamacare Law? Will other Judeo-Christian organizations join them? Will the GOP peel off even more Catholic voters in the 2012 election?Stay tuned.— Jim Clark is President of Republican Advocates and a member of the Washoe County andamp; Nevada State GOP Central Committees.

Researchers say a mild virus related to West Nile protected mice from the deadly disease when used as a vaccine.
The researchers in Australia studied a relatively harmless virus called Kunjin that has genetic similarities to the West Nile virus. They injected the mice with reduced-strength DNA from the Kunjin virus.
The researchers gave the immunized mice a lethal dose of West Nile virus. Animals that had received even a small dose of Kunjin were protected from illness.
While more testing is needed, the researchers suggest Kunjin may provide a source for development of a vaccine.
The study is in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.

Christmas Tree Income Hits Record High In the November issue of Char-Koosta in Conservation notes, by Mr Heisel, it was brought out that our income for Christmas tree stumpage would be the lowest since 1954. We all missed our guess, a last minute rush along with fair weather brought us the highest income in history. The Christmas tree program is pecujiar, one cannot believe a Christmas tree can be found from one year to the next, but in spite of the blight, which was general in Western Montana, our income was impressive. Also in the November issue of Char-Koosta, your writer brought out the poor practice of the Christmas tree cutters. Since that time, your writer has been cordially invited by some of the Christmas tree cutters to take a trip into the LaMoose logging unit and some of the other units, where logging operations have been carried on. One will see, according to reliable sources, conditions just as bad as the Christmas tree areas, so, we must take a trip. Many rumors have been going around the Reservation in reference to this years Per-Capita Payment, one of the common statements, "If the Tribal Council didn't spend all the money for their wages, etc., we would get a $300 payment." The Tribal Council operates on a budget, based on income and expenses. The Secretary of Interior or his officers Have not yet dissapproved a budget Jecause of our spending Our timber income is now starting upward in the past 3 years, we have witnessed some declining price in the lumber industry which was general all over the country. Your writer predicted smaller per-capita payments as far back as 1954, which maybe verified by our former superintendent, Forrest R. Stone. There seems to be a misunderstanding on the part of many members of the tribe who feel that we should receive a larger payment, because of the additional compensation agreed on between the Montana Power company and the Tribes for $50,000 a year for the third generating Unit at Kerr Dam, retroactive back to 1954. The Federal Power commission has not yet approved a 50 year license for the Montana Power Company whereby we receive $50,000, annually for the third unit. In the first place the FPC, have to have all the details of the Montana Power company's operations in order that they may decide whether or not they are justified in having a 50 year license. There has been cases where applicants to the FPC, only applied for control, etc., until the Federal Power Commission acts on the 50 year License, the Montana Power company and the Confederated Tribes agreement for $50,000 annually and retroactive is not in affect The people in our part of the country were very pleased to know, that at last the lumber industry has increased, which automatically gives employment and relieves the pressures of the unemployed, to seme extent, which has existed for some time. We are fortunate the two large saw mills have chose the sites at Poison and Pablo for their mills, by all CHA PUBLISHED BY CONFEDERATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES, FLATHEAD AGENCY mONI Vol. 3 — No. 1 December, 1958 Christmas Tree Cutters The significance of this picture is that no other profession in the world is more appropriate than cutting Christmas trees by a full-blood Indian. The instructions he has received in conservation is well brought out in this picture, one may note the one branch left on the stup for a future tree, the stump is trimmed and great precaution is used in the selection of the good trees. The picture of the long- ^^^^ haired Indian shows the contentment in using the bounty of mother nature. This man would not be content in a city or on a farm, but where the real full-blood lives so close to nature that he may cash in a few dollars and may even kill an elk or a deer proves there is a great respect shown of ones nature land. Era wing by Joe Hewankorn, full-blood means we should have more local employment and this also gives people a chance to sell their timber. Besides the two larger mills (Plum Creek, now op-crating) and Dupuis Brothers, under construction. There is to be a new stud mill in the vicinity of Pablo. Every man that goes to work at one of these mills relieves the labor pressure, whereby other men will have a chance to work some place else. In this respect another un employment gap is closed. Your writei brings this labor problem out because our Indian employment, on this reservation is very low, in fact there is not any Indian labor on county or state highway work. In St. Ignatius the Irrigation headquarters bears the name on the outside, above the door, "Indian Irrigation Project," one would think there is a connection with the Indian people, look at the personnel, less than 10 percent are Indian employees. The other discomfort the sign presumably causes, is that many non-Indains, when they pay their light bill often pass the remark, "Payments of light bills go towards Indian Tribal pay- ments and believe me many local people think that way. The members must face facts and know facts. Income from light bills or electrical energy do not go into our Tribal Fund, however, net power Revenue income does apply to Indian O & M charges. Construction cost of taxable or white owned land, another strike Mr Indian has to ward off and defend themselves, and at times it is common to hear people remark or even inquire if the government gives each Indian an allowance by check. Some people seem to think that this actually happens. Even some of our local non-Indians have this feeling, of course an Indian maybe seen with a Government check either from a lease, land sale, timber sale, or a per capita payment check. A word about timber cutting on the reservation. The saw mills coming in, is not going to solve the problem. The fed-em! regulations and personnel will play a big part in timber sales, as it now happens the Forestry office do not envy (Continued on page 3)

Karen Martiny has lived in Summit County for 24 years and been an animal lover her entire life. She'd been involved in various animal-related volunteer organizations and causes, but decided that she wanted to go further. In 2003, she founded Animal Rescue of the Rockies (ARR), an nonprofit organization that alleviates strain on shelters by placing animals in foster homes and promoting their adoption online."We pull pets from shelters. When they get too full they contact us and ask for help and we take as many as we can according to how many foster homes we have available," Martiny said. "We place the pets in foster homes where they're socialized with people and other pets."Although the ARR originated in Summit County, it has since expanded to include shelters along the Front Range. The program includes anywhere from 50 to 75 foster homes at one time, ranging from Fort Collins on down to Colorado Springs. ARR has a special place for cats - the Cat Casita Sanctuary at the Chow Down pet supply store in Fairplay. As many as 17 cats live there at one time, hanging out together in a large playroom as a community, with no cages. The adoption process requires potential adopters to fill out an application online and then schedule a home visit. If approved, adoption papers are filled out, the fee is paid and the animal comes home. Adoption fees depend on a handful of variables, such as breed, and usually run between $150 and $300. The proceeds go directly to the ARR and are used to have each animal microchipped, spayed or neutered and vaccinated before adoption."If you get a pet for free and take it to your personal vet, you're probably going to end up spending $250 or $300 just to get the pet spayed or neutered, then it's an extra $50 for the microchip," said Martiny. "You're going to end up spending quite a bit more than the adoption fee."On average, each animal that comes through the ARR costs the organization around $250, Martiny said. Some that require further medical attention or behavioral conditioning rack up higher expenses."Some pets have cost us several thousand dollars if they need surgery," she said.Daunting veterinary bills don't keep the ARR from extending their help. The purpose isn't to make money off the animals, Martiny says, but to connect them with safe, loving homes. She recalls one dog from several years ago that had been found wandering the highway in southern Colorado. She had been hit by a car, then had medical complications when her shattered pelvis healed incorrectly. The ARR promptly took up her case, paying for a rare veterinary procedure that had only been done a few times ever in the state. They expected to wait weeks before being sure of the outcome."We were all so surprised when two days after her surgery, Lizzie was standing up, walking, playing with her toy. It was amazing," Martiny said. "Now you would never know anything was ever wrong with her."Quickly adopted into a family, Lizzie stands as an ARR success story."It feels good when you can help a dog like that, that everyone else has given up on," Martiny said.
Although most of the shelters that the ARR animals come from are on the Front Range, the organization still maintains its Summit County connection, through the shelter in Frisco and also the For Pets' Sake Thrift Shop in Breckenridge.The thrift shop sits right on Main Street, offering deals on all kinds of items including clothing, books, housewares, ski gear and more. Opened in 2007, the store serves as another income source to help ARR pay for the care of its animals. "We definitely curate the items to make it more of an upscale place," said store manager Shelly Michell. Donations come almost exclusively from private individuals, anyone from locals doing some cleaning up to visitors on their way out with excess items. When space becomes an issue, the shop forwards the donations on to the Family & Intercultural Resource Center (FIRC). Both locals and out-of-town visitors come through, Michell says, and many show interest in the cause behind it. Michell herself is passionate about the work done by ARR."I love thrift stores, I love the cause," she said. "It's a fun environment and we get such great comments from people that it really starts to feed your feeling of pride in what you're doing. It's rewarding to work for a cause that you really believe in."
ARR continues to expand. Its most recent project is to create a sort of "halfway house" for animals between shelter and foster home or adoption. The organization recently purchased a lease on 160 acres outside of Fort Collins. The idea is to have a place where the animals can receive temporary care, including veterinary and behavioral training attention, before moving on from the shelter.Martiny also hopes to host retreats and educational seminars at the location."It's a relaxing place, it's pretty and quiet. It will be a great place for the animals to relax," Martiny said. "We're really excited about that."
The spark behind Martiny's quest to help shelter animals came from her personal experience - a poodle/terrier mix that she adopted from the Summit County Animal Shelter."She was a little ambassador for me," Martiny said. "She had the best little spirit and determination, and never let anything get her down. She was such an inspiration to me that I wanted to start helping other pets that weren't as fortunate. She really opened my eyes to the needs of shelter pets, and how many of them die without the chance to be loved."Martiny urges adoption over buying an animal for a variety of reasons, including cost, health of the animal and the fact that pet overpopulation is a large problem across the nation. "It's going to save money, for one thing, and then you'll be saving a life, too," she said.Dogs and cats aren't the only beneficiaries of adoption, however. Martiny said she has seen the effects on the people involved as well. She receives many comments and messages from adopters whose lives have been changed by their animals."This dog has been a lifeline for them," she said.
