Safe Driving Tips for the Christmas Holiday Season.
December 11, 2008
The Christmas holiday period is a particularly dangerous time on the roads. Not preparing for your trip or ensuring that your vehicle is ready could increase the risk of an accident or roadside emergency.
Car accidents remain the leading cause of death for children under 14, with riding unrestrained the single greatest risk factor for fatal injury. Some one in four children under 5 are not buckled in, a survey shows.

Sutter County By The Numbers: Getting Ready For The 2010 Census
December 09, 2008
Sutter County men and women are married at higher rates than the rest of the U.S. population. Both household and family incomes in Sutter County are larger than the U.S. average, but so are the households and families, which is why per capita income in Sutter County is below the national average.
This is all according to the American Community Survey project of the U.S. Census Bureau, an ongoing survey that is conducted between the official Census counts every 10 years.
In March of 2010, the Census Bureau will be sending out questionnaires for the 2010 official census of all residents of the United States. Because the county's population is tied to federal and state funding allocations to the county, Sutter County officials will be assisting the federal government in getting a complete count of all county residents.
Individuals interested in serving on a Sutter County Census Committee are encouraged to contact Chuck Smith, Sutter County Public Information Officer, at 530-822-7100. Those interested in working as a census taker are encouraged to contact the Census Bureau at 866-861-2010.

Be Safe, Be Alert After The Clocks Roll Back
October 29, 2008
Remember to set your clocks back 1 hour this weekend as daylight standard time begins on Sunday, November 2nd at 2:00 AM. Also, please be aware of the need to adjust to the earlier darkness in the evening and to be alert, especially when driving or walking about.
A study conducted by Professors Fishbeck and Gerard of Carnegie Mellon University reported in 2007 that after clocks are turned back 1 hour in the fall, pedestrians, from the dusk to dark period, face a three times increased risk of being struck and killed by a vehicle. Apparently, the days immediately following a return to daylight standard time in November show the highest increase in pedestrian fatalities. The risk then declines each month through May. According the the researchers, it's the adjustment to the earlier darkness rather than the darkness itself that is the killer.
Both drivers and pedestrians should be more alert and aware during the dusk to dark transition but especially during the days immediately following the change back to daylight standard time on November 2nd.
New Sutter County Boating Ramp
October 29, 2008
New Sutter County boating ramp opens in time for restricted season on only stretch of river open for salmon fishing in the Sacramento Valley
A public works project to restore critical access to the Sacramento River from the Sutter County side is nearing completion and will be operational just in time for use on one of the only rivers in California where salmon can be fished this year.
The Tisdale Boat Launch Facility on the Sacramento River south of the Sutter County community of Meridian will be open to the public on Nov. 1, the first day of salmon season, according to the Sutter County Public Works Department. It will be the only boat access point to the Sacramento River from the Sutter County side of the river
The new launch facility is located at the Tisdale Weir, at the Sacramento River at the end of Tisdale Road, in western Sutter County.
The two-lane launch ramp is 32 feet wide and 152 feet long and the parking area slab is 88 feet wide and 750 feet long with 43 vehicle/trailer parking spaces. It cost $1.4 million and was funded through a grant from the California Department of Boating and Waterways, utilizing funds generated by taxes on boats.
The boat launching facility replaces the facility closed eight years ago due to repeated episodes of excessive silting in. In 2001, Sutter County prepared a grant application and received funding for the boat ramp portion in 2003, when the Public Works Department began engineering for a facility. In 2008, Sutter County received additional funding for the parking pad portion of the project and both the ramp and the parking pad were built this year.
This section of the Sacramento River is part of the only stretch of river in the Sacramento Valley where fall salmon fishing will be allowed. Under Department of Fish and Game rules, no Chinook are allowed to be kept anywhere on the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers or any of their tributaries, including the American and Feather rivers. The only exception is from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31 in the Sacramento River between the Red Bluff Diversion Dam and Knights Landing for a one-salmon bag and possession limit.
This boat launching facility is north of Knights Landing on a stretch of the river that is also excellent for steelhead, striped bass and sturgeon.

Sutter County Wins Gold at 2008 State Fair
August 20, 2008
Sutter County continued its winning tradition in the County Exhibit competition at the California State Fair with a Gold Ribbon this week for its Hollywood-themed, health-oriented, local produce-starring "Legendary Café."
It was the eighth Gold Ribbon in the last eight years of competition, a run which also includes a "Best of Show" in 2001.
Sutter County's 2008 Fair Exhibit depicts a Sutter County "juice bar" where locals go to enjoy "Legendary Smoothies and Snacks" prepared from locally grown fruits, nuts and vegetables.
In keeping with a general State Fair Hollywood theme, the Legendary Café features such fare as the Humphrey Bogart "African Queen" smoothie, made with an exotic juice blend with fresh strawberries and the James Cagney "Yankee Doodle Dandy" fruit and vegetable platter.
At the tranquil Legendary Café, you can sit outside and reminisce with old friends or pony up to the juice bar to watch classic, black and white movies.
Remarkable mechanical characters greet the patrons, including "Employee Of The Month" John Sutter, and a pair of informative—if somewhat cantankerous—Sutter County residents bemoaning the high cost of gas while revealing, and reveling in, Sutter County's unique history.
"It's like Disneyland in here," said one visitor last Saturday. "Are these real?" a girl asked as she rubbed a fresh ear of corn and eyed the bright-red, vine-ripened tomatoes.
Some two dozen fruit, vegetable and nut crops were on display, helping State Fair visitors understand that just about anything grows in Sutter County, where John Sutter created the first large scale agricultural concern in the 1840s.
Fairgoers can see the Sutter County 2008 Fair Exhibit in Building A of the Counties Building at Cal-Expo during the State Fair, which runs everyday through September 1.
Laura Poma, one of the organizers of the Sutter County Fair Exhibit, attributes a string of successes to the volunteers who design, build and staff the booth. More than 90 people are involved in all, and Poma said anyone wanting to be part of this annual creative opportunity to represent Sutter County is invited to call her at 822-7500.

Yuba City, Our Home Town
will be released on September 4, 2008 at a kickoff celebration at the Museum. This is the first history book of Yuba City to be published.

Vintage Motorcycles - July through August
July 17, 2008
Vintage Motorcycles Roar In!
Well, maybe they won't roar into the Museum, but you can imagine a time when they could. Back by popular demand, and with additions, this collection of early motorcycles from a generous local collector will delight Museum visitors this Summer.
During the months of July and August, this distinguished group of very early 20th century motorcycles will park in the main gallery, so we can get a closer look and learn all about their history.
These progenitors of today's Harleys won't be able to stay too long, as another traveling exhibit arrives in September, so be sure to see them while they're here, July 8 through September 5.
We appreciate the gracious loan of the motorcycles, and for being able to share them with the community.
Air Quality Advisory
July 11, 2008
Valid for July 11 through 13, 2008
–Air quality levels this weekend may fluctuate between moderate and unhealthy as they have for the past few weeks. Throughout the Sacramento Valley, pockets of ground level smoke and poor air quality remain. Residents are advised to take precautions and avoid voluntary outdoor activities if they see or smell smoke.
View the particulate and ozone concentrations from the sensor in
Yuba City
. Follow the online instructions to calculate air quality levels as well as receive any precautionary actions applicable to that level.
Air quality will continue to be impacted as fires continue to burn throughout Northern and Central California. Meteorological conditions are keeping the smoke from wildfires at ground level in many areas of our region. Southerly winds may bring relief from high particulate concentrations this weekend, however smoky conditions are also possible.

Air Quality is Very Unhealthy to Hazardous
July 09, 2008
The Feather River Air Quality Management District along with Dr. Kinnison, Sutter County Health Officer, and Dr. Cassady, Yuba County Health Officer, are issuing another health advisory today due to high particulate levels from wildfire smoke.
NOON UPDATE: Air quality levels have reached VERY UNHEALTHY TO HAZARDOUS LEVELS. The District recommends that all non-essential outdoor activities should be suspended.
Fires continue to burn throughout Northern and Central California. Meteorological conditions are keeping the smoke from wildfires at ground level in many areas of our region. In addition, very high temperatures are forecasted today and through the rest of the week which may likely increase ozone levels, further degrading air quality While it is not advised to use whole house fans, evaporative coolers (swamp cooler), or leave windows open due to high particulate levels, it is important to stay cool in these high temperatures. The State of California Office of Emergency Services has information on ways to stay cool as well as fire updates available on their

FEMA's Flood Insurance Study
July 03, 2008
The Flood Insurance Study that accompanies the new federal Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) has been received from FEMA, and posted on Sutter County's internet site. The on-line document describes the purpose of the study and the process by which flood basins in Sutter County are being evaluated. New FIRMs will place a large portion of southern Sutter County, south of Stewart Road, in Special Flood Hazard areas once the FIRMs go into effect (December 2, 2008).
FEMA utilized both previous and new hydrologic and hydraulic analyses conducted by various agencies in its study. As the result of the California Department of Water Resources decertifying Sutter County's levees, FEMA also conducted analyses of what would happen should levees fail. It is advisable to get flood insurance if you live anywhere in the Sacramento Valley. However, FEMA requires federal flood insurance in Special Flood Hazard Areas. In Sutter County, getting federal flood insurance before Dec. 2, 2008 will save property owners hundreds of dollars per year. Because of "grandfathering" rules, those who wait until after the maps are final on Dec. 2, 2008, may have to pay more for federal flood insurance.
The study also uses new terminology. Instead of referring to 100-year and 500-year flooding risks, the study refers to 1-Percent-Annual-Chance and 0.2-Percent Annual-Chance. The new terminology is a response to complaints that the previous terminology used by the federal government confused property owners into believing that disastrous flooding can occur only once in a 100 or 500 year period.
The new flood maps are expected to be posted on the Sutter County internet site by mid-July. The maps are being converted by County staff to a format that has more detail.
Sutter County Government Getting A Little More Green
June 27, 2008
Since 2001, Sutter County has had a voluntary waste recycling program in many of its largest departments. In the last five years alone, Sutter County has recycled 564,000 pounds of material—that's the equivalent weight of 2,971.5 average American men.
Sutter County is now expanding the recycling program to include all offices. Another 115,000 pounds of paper, plastic and other recyclable materials is expected to be recycled by Sutter County offices in calendar year 2008.
These numbers do not take into account the large amounts of documents that are shredded and recycled through a commercial vendor each year.
Currently, all divisions of the Human Services Department, the Sherrif's Department/Jail, the Treasurer's Office, and the Road and General Services divisions of the Public Works Department participate in a recycling program. But Building Services Supervisor F.W. "Frosty" Southard wants to expand Sutter County's recycling program to all departments and locations in the county.

Children's Program Meets Mountain Men
June 24, 2008
We are pleased and enthused to report that the Mountain Men are returning for the Summer Children's Program at the Museum this summer! The Sierra Muzzleloaders of Brownsville have plans to set up camp in Howard Harter Park behind the
Sutter County Memorial Museum
on Wednesday, July 16. The program will begin at 10:00 a.m. in the shade of the park's big trees.
Last summer, this group drew in children and adults alike with demonstrations of firemaking, flintknapping (making arrowheads), and other early day skills. Dressed in authentic costumes, and with the trappings of typical mountain life, the mountain men show us what life was like for the intrepid few who ventured into the wilderness in the early 19th century.
Some of the activities are hands-on experiences for the children, and all of them are fascinating and educational. The program is free, and no reservations are needed. It is suitable for elementary school age students, but the whole family is invited. Refreshments will be served following the program. The Sierra Muzzleloaders volunteer to present this wonderful program to our community, and we appreciate the work they do to promote learning about history.

Yuba Disc Plow
June 17, 2008
The Community Memorial Museum of Sutter County plans to celebrate a gift of the Yuba Disc Plow from the Yuba-Sutter Fair Board to the Museum with a dedication on Wednesday evening, June 18 at 7:30 at the Museum.
The Yuba Disc Plow was manufactured in the 1920s by the Yuba Manufacturing Company. The large manufacturing plant had formerly been located at 12th and F Streets in Marysville, but about 1920 it relocated to Benicia. The company manufactured mainly dredging equipment, such as the big dredges used in the goldfields in the Yuba River. However, it got into the business of making agricultural equipment when it created the Yuba Ball Tread Tractor to haul the dredging equipment to the mining sites.
The Community Memorial Museum has on exhibit a restored 1915 Yuba Ball Tread Tractor manufactured in Marysville. The Yuba-Sutter Fair Board generously donated the Yuba Disc Plow to be exhibited with the tractor. Few examples of the plow are known to exist.
The public is invited to attend the event on June 18 when the plow will be officially dedicated, and the Fair Board will be thanked for their very special gift to the Museum and our community. There is no charge to attend. The Museum is located at
1333 Butte House Road
in Yuba City. For more information, call 822-7141.
Sutter County 2007 Crop Report
June 04, 2008
Sutter County's gross agricultural production value totaled $377,950,800 with Rice, Walnuts, Peaches, (processing) Tomatoes, Dried Plums and Almonds as the leading agricultural commodities.
Strong demand helped increase market prices, especially for walnuts, field corn, hay, safflower, wheat, processing tomatoes, and seed crops. In contrast, record freezing temperatures in January affected several frost-sensitive crops throughout California, but it was the reoccurring high temperatures during the dried-plum crop bloom in March that once again drastically affected yields. Honey production continues to be plagued by a malady of honeybee disorders, including the newfound Colony Collapse Disorder.
As summarized in this report, agriculture continues to be an integral part of Sutter County's economic base. Industries such as banking, labor, marketing, transportation, and other services directly or indirectly tied to agriculture benefited appreciably as the agricultural industry returned over $1.32 Billion to our local economy in 2007.
2008 Summer Reading Program
May 28, 2008
This summer the
Sutter County Library
will be swarming with spiders, butterflies, ants, grasshoppers and insects of every kind as the summer reading program theme is "Catch the Reading Bug". It has been so much fun planning this particular program. The bug theme is great because it appeals to both boys and girls of all ages. Insects, such as spiders, can be scary while insects such as butterflies are thought of as cute.
Sign-ups will begin on June 9th this year and the program will end on August 16th. The goal of the summer reading program is to keep the children in our community reading through out the summer. We offer incentives such as small toys, books and coupons donated by local businesses to encourage continued reading.

Sutter County Supervisor Recognized as Top Leader
May 27, 2008
Sutter County Supervisor Dan Silva received a prestigious award for his regional leadership on issues of flood control, agriculture and transportation.
"It was from a very crowded field that he has been elected," said Valley Vision Executive Director Bill Mueller. "So often in our region we have issues that can't be contained by political boundaries, traffic congestion, air quality, flood protection, and it takes people to work across boundaries to reach out to other leaders in the region to effect change. Dan Silva is that type of leader."

Historic Photographs at Museum
May 12, 2008
For more than 30 years, an intrepid photographer named Aurelius O. Carpenter, father of artist Grace Hudson, lugged his camera equipment across the Mendocino frontier. He documented the lives of Pomo Indians and white settlers, the coming of the railroad, logging operations, various scattered towns and the natural beauty of Mendocino County.
This is the first comprehensive exhibition of his work, with an accompanying catalog.
The first comprehensive exhibit to introduce the photographic work of Aurelius O. Carpenter, who documented the development of Northern California in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is on display at the Community Memorial Museum of Sutter County.
Carpenter's large panoramic views chronicle the coastal logging, tanbark, and shipping industries, as well as the inland region's bounty of natural attractions and agricultural products.
The exhibit 'Aurelius O. Carpenter: Photographer of the Mendocino Frontier' is open now and will remain at the museum through June 29, 2008. Click

Bike to Work Week - May 12-16
May 08, 2008
Tired of sitting in traffic? Wishing you had more time to get fit? High price of gas getting you down? We've got the solution – Join thousands of people who will commute by bicycle on Bike to Work Day, Friday May 16th.
Many people who tried bike commuting for the first time last year are STILL RIDING!
Here's your chance to learn what they already know:
It's Healthy! Bicycling to work can keep you in shape without having to set aside additional time to exercise. Bicycle commuters tend to enjoy healthier lifestyles, get sick less often and feel less stress.
It's Smart! Bicycle commuting is one of the least expensive ways to get to work. There's no gas, parking fees or insurance to pay for, and maintenance is minimal.
It's Fast! In many areas, trips by bicycle, door to door, are faster than by car, especially where the one-way commute distance is less than five miles.
It's Clean! Bicycles don't pollute the air or require lots of land for roads or parking lots. Eight to twelve bicycles can park in a space required for one car.
It's Fun! A bicycle ride at the end of the day is a great way to relieve stress. Discovering routes on back roads through residential neighborhoods can be scenic and fun. It sure beats sitting in stalled traffic on the streets!
If you can't bike to work for some reason, think about using an alternative way to commute to work… carpool, take public transportation or even walk to work!

Weights and Measures Week: March 1-7, 2008
February 29, 2008
"Whether detergent, fruit or gasoline, I can trust I am getting what I pay for."
Every day, Americans make purchase decisions-at the grocery store and the gas pump, to pay a taxi fare, feed a parking meter, or order a delivery of home heating oil. These diverse "daily necessities" have one common ingredient: the trust you can have that everything you weigh, pump or measure is accurate because of a national weights and measures program.
It is the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) and your state and local weights and measures inspectors that ensure a reliable system-providing confidence that you will get what you pay for.

Give Kids a Smile Day
January 14, 2008
The Sutter County Health Department will celebrate "Give Kids A Smile Day" on February 1st, Friday, from 1-4 pm at 1445 Veterans Memorial Circle, Yuba City.
This free, local celebration includes fun activities for children ages 1-5, photos with the Tooth Fairy, dental screenings (which meet the kindergarten entry requirement) and prizes. The event kicks off Dental Health Month and supports efforts that focus on providing oral health education to all children despite their economic status.
"Give Kids A Smile Day" was designed to provide dental education, preventative and restorative care to low-income children who do not have access to these services and is an annual centerpiece to National Children's Dental Health Month. While dentistry is only 5 percent of the health care dollar, dental care is critical.
Research shows that tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease, affecting 50 percent of U.S. first graders. Nationally, more than one-half of children ages 6 to 8 have tooth decay, and one-third of it goes untreated.

After A Disaster Do Not Get Scammed
January 10, 2008
The California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) protects consumers by licensing and regulating California's construction industry. It is an unfortunate fact that unscrupulous individuals will try and make a profit on another's misfortune. Don't let these individuals take advantage of you during this vulnerable time.
Before you hire a contractor or sign any documents for repairs, the
California Contractors State License Board
offers the following basic advice:
Don't rush into repairs, no matter how badly they are needed
Get at least three bids. Don't hire the first contractor who comes along
Watch out for door-to-door offers of repair services and flyers or business cards that are left on your doorstep
Ask friends, family, and associates for recommendations about contractors they have hired
Never hand over a cash deposit
Even for the smallest job, get proof that the person you are dealing with has a contractor'license for the type of work that needs to be done
Get a written contract that details every aspect of the work to be done

Report January 2008 Storm Damage
January 08, 2008
The Sutter County Office of Emergency Services will be collecting initial January 4, 2008 storm damage estimates in an effort to determine the overall economic impact the storm has had on the county. If residents or businesses within Sutter County would like to report damage to be included in this estimate they are encouraged to do so. While the submission of damage information is not an offer or guarantee of individual assistance, it will be valuable in determining if State or Federal aid may be available at a later date.
Assessment of damages as a result of the recent wind storms throughout Sutter County reveals many instances of damaged and down fencing that surround private swimming pools. Sutter County encourages those homeowners affected to begin prompt repair or install temporary fencing that would prevent unwanted access to swimming pool areas and prevent a possible tragedy from occurring.
Residents or businesses submitting information will need to provide the following:
Phone number and email address
Address of location at which damage is being reported
Insurance status
A brief description of the damage that occurred and estimated cost to repair or replace the damaged property.
To facilitate the collection of this information, Emergency Services has posted an online Storm Damage Report Form. The County of Sutter appreciates your cooperation and will ensure that notifications be made if individual assistance does become available.
For more information or for residents of unincorporated Sutter County please call us at (530) 822-7400 ext. 201 and leave us a voice mail with your name, address, and the damage sustained. If you would prefer to provide this information electronically, please fill out our Storm Damage Report Form.
If there are health concerns due to the power outages, please call (530) 822-7215 for assistance.
For Agricultural damage concerns please submit a Weather Related Agricultural Damage Report, contact the
Agricultural Department
, visit the
Agricultural Department webpage

Lindsey Vonn�s right knee is healing quicker than her feelings over a World Championships� race she said should have been called off.
The four-time overall World Cup champion remains unhappy about how she suffered a season-ending injury � two shredded ligaments and a broken bone � at the World Championships in Schladming, Austria. She believes organizers should have postponed the super-G race Feb. 5 because of deteriorating course conditions.
In a conference call Friday, Vonn said she �did not think it was safe� to race on the soft snow and that �athletes� safety should come first.�
�I do not think the jury made the right call,� said Vonn, who underwent surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament nearly two weeks ago. �It was definitely not safe to run with that fog.�
The start of the super-G was delayed by 3� hours because of fog hanging over the course. During that time, conditions dramatically changed, said Vonn, who inspected the hill early in the morning.
Soon after her crash, Atle Skaardal, women�s race director for the International Ski Federation, defended the decision to go ahead with the event, saying, �I don�t see that any outside factors played a role in this accident.�
Vonn disagreed. She hit a jump along the course faster than anyone else and flew a lot farther, landing in a patch of snow that was much softer. Her right ski abruptly stopped, then buckled.
�I feel like that loose snow was 100 percent the reason why I crashed,� she said.
As she lay in the snow, in pain and waiting for a helicopter to lift her off the mountain, Vonn called U.S. women�s head coach Alex Hoedlmoser and told him to inform race officials to stop the competition.
�They apparently didn�t do that,� Vonn said. �I was definitely disappointed they decided to run the race.�
Organizers eventually did stop the event, though not immediately after Vonn�s crash. With conditions varying from racer to racer and the light fading, the race was halted after only 36 of the 59 skiers had come down the hill.
Vonn is on pace to return in time for the 2014 Sochi Games and defend the downhill title she won in Vancouver. She even joked this injury makes her �the underdog now.�
�That will help ease the pressure a little bit,� Vonn said.
Comebacks hardly are anything new for Vonn, who has been plagued by injuries at her last six major championships � from a thumb she sliced on a champagne bottle at the 2009 worlds in Val d�Is�re, France, to a bruised shin that she treated with the unorthodox remedy of Austrian cheese at the Vancouver Olympics.
She�s attacking rehab with the same vigor as if it were a course, going as fast as she�s allowed. She�s attending physical therapy sessions for her knee twice a day, seven days a week. Most of the work involves simple tasks, like moving her knee cap around to gain back motion. She�s also working on her upper body strength, vowing to come back stronger than ever.
�I�m channeling most of my energy into workouts,� she said.
In between sessions, she�s hanging out with her sister, Laura, and watching movies. She�s trying to enjoy the down time she�s never really had.
�It�s a change of pace. But it�s hard for me to sit around,� Vonn said. �I feel pretty helpless sometimes. Going to the gym and staying active, that makes me feel a lot better.�
Although Vonn was open about all things concerning her accident and recovery, she didn�t want to address the rumors that she was dating golfer Tiger Woods. That topic was off limits.
�I�m only two weeks out from the worst injury I�ve had in my career,� Vonn said. �At this point, I�m not going to talk about my personal life.�
As for her emotional state, she said it�s steadily improving. She had a hard time after the accident, especially with her bus so close to the finish line � �I could hear everyone cheering,� she said.
But once she arrived in Vail and had the procedure to fix her knee, she�s quickly perked up.
�I�m in a pretty good state. I�m taking it one day at a time,� she said. �It�s important for me to be really patient. It�s going to be a long process. I�m really looking forward to Sochi, and I�m going to do everything I can to be stronger than I was before. That�s definitely keeping me positive at this point.�
So are all the well-wishers. She�s talked to her teammates, along with exchanging emails with friend and rival Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany.
�It�s just the ACL, which is bad enough, but for sure she will be back,� said Hoefl-Riesch, who is planning a trip to Vail to visit Vonn. �I�m looking forward to seeing her back next winter.�
AP Sports Writer Jerome Pugmire in Meribel, France, contributed to this report.

Rodgers brothers, Brian Kelly's debut among five things to watch for on opening weekend
I'm assuming you're excited today.
I know I am. As nice as Thursday was for college football lovers, there's nothing quite like the first full Saturday of college football. I could barely sleep last night, as thoughts of TCU's defense, Brian Kelly's debut in South Bend and Erin Andrews — on the set of Gameday … pervs — danced through my head.

We rely on calcium to help our bodies grow. But could this powerful mineral also have negative side effects? Read on to learn more about this mineral and how much you should be getting.
Share what you want to know about calcium »
1. Your body can't produce calcium.
The human body — as well as all plants and animals — requires calcium to function. It plays a role in transferring nerve impulses, regulating blood pressure, causing the heart to contract, and clotting blood.
It's a major part of tooth and bone health too. You can think of your bones as your body's calcium reservoir. If you don't get calcium in your diet, your body will take it from your bones.
You have to rely on your diet or on supplements to get the calcium you need every day. Foods that are high in calcium include:
- dairy products such as milk and cheese
- leafy greens such as a kale and broccoli
- boney fish such as sardines
2. Your body uses calcium for a laundry list of functions.
According to the American Cancer Society, women can use calcium to decrease the severity of premenstrual symptoms.
The British Nutrition Foundation says that calcium can assist in regulating blood pressure, which is important in reducing the likelihood of cardiovascular disease. However, its ability to regulate kidney function requires more study.
Calcium has also sometimes been used to treat poisonous spider bites, but studies have found that this is one unique use of the mineral that is less efficient than other medications.
3. There's a recommended amount you should be getting every day.
How do you know if you're getting enough calcium? The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends that adults get 1,000 mg every day. They also say that women over 50 should get 1,200 mg daily.
To give you an idea of how that number translates into your diet, one glass of 1 percent milk contains 305 mg of calcium. Check the United States Department of Agriculture's helpful guide to see how much calcium is in your food.
4. If you don't get enough calcium, you could wind up with osteoporosis or other ailments.
Not giving your body the calcium it needs increases the likelihood of having low bone mass. This can result in osteoporosis, or frail and porous bones that easily fracture.
Osteoporosis is especially common in older women, which is why the NIH recommends they consume more calcium than their male counterparts. Children who don't get enough calcium may not grow to their full adult height potential.
5. There are two recommended types of calcium supplements.
A calcium supplement is one option if you don't get enough calcium-rich foods. Calcium carbonate and calcium citrate are the two most recommended forms of calcium supplements.
Calcium carbonate is cheaper and more common. It can be found in most antacid drugs. It needs to be taken with food in order for it to work well. Calcium citrate doesn't need to be taken with food and may be better absorbed by older people with lower levels of stomach acid.
Take note that calcium supplements do have side effects. You may have constipation, gas, and bloating. The supplements may also interfere with your body's ability to absorb other nutrients or medications. Check with your doctor before starting any supplements.
6. OK, there's actually one more type of (less common) calcium supplement.
Another common form of calcium is calcium gluconate. While this type of calcium supplement is not as common, it's still used for those with a calcium deficiency. Like calcium carbonate, it must be taken with food. Calcium gluconate is used to help lower blood potassium levels in acute cases of high blood potassium levels, or hyperkalemia.
7. It may be a cure to — or a cause of — cancer.
Researchers are still investigating whether calcium promotes or prevents cancer. A recent study found that calcium could cause cancer cell growth in certain types of cancer, like prostate cancer. It also decreased the likelihood of other types, like breast cancer.
8. Vitamin D is calcium's partner in crime.
One last important fact to know about calcium is that your body needs vitamin D in order to absorb it. So you can eat as many calcium-rich foods as you want, but your body can't fully benefit if you have low vitamin D levels.
You can get vitamin D from foods like salmon and eggs yolks. Sunshine allows the skin to produce Vitamin D and is definitely a great source of vitamin D, too.
The Takeaway
Calcium is an essential nutrient that is required for maintaining health. Like with any mineral or nutrient, you should carefully monitor your calcium intake so that you aren't getting too much or too little.

Liberal arts in the public eye
June 30, 2013
Shepherd University is a public liberal arts university. But what does that term mean? Understanding it can help describe Shepherd's role in our community, our state and society at larg....
A liberal arts education is very important. It's sad if the only purpose of a college education is to fill the needs of "employers." I don't think Socrates was concerned about the employability of his students. Most employers are concerned about profitability, not a higher vision for society or mankind.

Yogi Finders is a board game that exercises the body while also teaching kids about yoga. The object of the game is to match yoga poses on cards with the poses on the board. Each player picks three of the same colored tokens and is given three cards face down. When the leader says, "Go!", all players flip their cards over and try to find the matching pose on the game board. When you find a match, put your token down on the matching pose. The first player to find all three matches wins the round. Players keep all the cards for which they found a match, and the rest go back into the main card pile. Then the players all perform the poses on their cards.
Another way to play is to have the leader pick one card, flip it over, and say, "Go!" Then, all players must find that one pose on the board. The one who finds it first has to then perform the pose and hold it for 10 seconds. He gets to keep the card. The first player with 12 cards wins.
The game comes with four double-sided game boards, 86 yoga pose cards, and 12 game tokens. The game is for two to four players.
This is a fun and active game that also teaches kids a little something about yoga. The 12 poses make a salutation, which can be done by the kids to create their own salutation. We only wish that the names of the poses were on the cards because that would be such an added educational value. Overall, though, it's a fun game and gets kids moving their bodies.
Yogi Finders is for ages 6 and up.
This game does require physical activity. Make sure you're wearing comfortable clothing and that you take off your shoes and do some warming up before play. It is advised that you use caution during play and stop immediately if you feel discomfort, pain, or dizziness.
We think it is also helpful to have an adult player or other player who knows a bit about yoga who can make sure that the novice players are performing the poses correctly so that nobody gets hurt.

Full auto AR .22LR cost to build?

July 13, 2011, 11:47 AM
I really want a full auto .22lr. However, pre 86 trigger packs are $10K! What would my options be and how do you " piece" it together as far as legally building this on an AR platform?

Your only real options are a trigger pack/registered receiver or a lightning link (which I don't think works with a .22LR upper anyway) as far as I know. I could be wrong, but in my experience any full auto AR/M16 is going to be top dollar. I use an SSAR-15 stock on my semi auto AR and it simulates full auto fire quite effectively, but doesn't work at all with .22LR due to the lack of recoil. You might be able to use a drop in auto sear too, but again... high cost of ownership due to artificial control over the supply (ie: NFA laws and the ATF)
July 13, 2011, 12:14 PM
The frustrating thing is that regardless of what cartridge you want your M-16 to fire, you'll need either a registered "transferable" M-16 receiver or a registered "transferrable" Drop-In Auto Sear (or "Lightning Link") to make it into a full-auto gun.
Either of those parts must have been made and entered into the registry prior to May of 1986, so the price will be exactly what you've found.
Once you have the registered receiver or magic bit 'o metal, you can piece together anything from a full-auto .22 LR to a full-auto .50 Beowulf, or beyond. A company near where I used to live (BRP Guns), IIRC, used to make an adapter kit so you can use your full-auto registered M-16 lower to run the "top end" of an MG-42 8mm belt-fed machine gun!
July 13, 2011, 12:37 PM
Wouldn't the auto sear be quite cheaper than a while lower?
July 13, 2011, 12:42 PM
Not necessarily. The auto sear is the important (and expensive) part. Therefore, that's the bit you're gonna spend for.
July 13, 2011, 12:53 PM

On an AR site, these goofs are talking $4k to build it up...
Just goes to show you that you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet. If you truly believe you can legally build a full auto AR for $4k in this economic and legal environment then I've got something to sell you.
There are people that believe some strange things, and they'll go to the grave screaming it out, even if it's dead wrong and everyone around has shown them evidence that they're wrong...
We run into those problems on the internet a lot.
If you can find me a legal full auto AR-15 that costs $4k then I'd jump on it.
You can build a semi auto AR-15 for under $600 if you shop around, but the DIAS or trigger pack is what's going to cost you.
July 13, 2011, 01:18 PM
Now wait, I didn't say full auto AR ready to go, some guys say they convert them for that....
Rail Driver
July 13, 2011, 01:25 PM
Even a legally "converted" AR, such as I mentioned (ie building a semi for under $600 then adding the trigger pack or whatever) is going to cost MUCH more than $4k. Again... If you can find me a legal FA sear or trigger pack for $4k or less, I want one.
July 13, 2011, 01:28 PM
Now wait, I didn't say full auto AR ready to go, some guys say they convert them for that....
Not sure what you mean, exactly...
$4,000 to convert an M-16 to run .22LR? Should be cheaper than that, though I think some of the wicked cool .22 LR BELT FED might be pricey. (No, here a Lakeside version for under $700: http://www.lakesideguns.com/title1-inventory.html)
On the other hand, if someone is a Special Occupational Tax Class 002 (and FFL) they are legally able to build a full-auto M-16 or convert a semi-auto AR-15 into one. However, those are "dealer sample" guns and cannot be sold to anyone who isn't another machine gun dealer or manufacturer, or a government agency.
Maybe some charge $4,000 for that service, but I doubt it.
Aaron Baker
July 13, 2011, 01:33 PM
You cannot "convert" an AR15 to full auto legally. Period.
You can buy a registered lower, in which case the cost of the lower ain't what makes it expensive. It's that there's a limited supply. It's a $10k+ item because of the supply.
You can buy a drop-in auto sear, which is itself the registered part, and it isn't that much cheaper to make than an AR15 lower, but again, it isn't materials that makes it expensive. It's the supply issue. No new ones can be made. Cost is probably similar to a registered lower, because either way, you get full auto, and that capability carries a steep price tag.
If you COULD convert an AR15 to full auto legally, it would cost pennies plus the $200 tax stamp, but the full auto registry is closed, so you can't. The only people that can make full autos now are special dealers, and they can only sell them to military or police agencies, not to individual civilians. For them, it costs drilling an extra hole (which is basically free) and installing the full auto parts (which aren't any more expensive to manufacture than a regular trigger or hammer for an AR15).
Understand that there are no loopholes that get you there for cheaper than what you see advertised when you're looking at a legitimate sale of a registered lower or drop-in auto sear. It costs tens of thousands of dollars. That's the truth, and no one has any magic way to get around it.
So this $4k conversion just doesn't make sense. If it was legal, it'd be a $4 conversion, not a $4k conversion, but conversions aren't legal, so it's more like $16k to $20k to get an already-registered gun.
July 13, 2011, 05:01 PM
An additional note on this -- The issue M261 .22 rimfire conversion kit is designed for use with the selective-fire M16, but when installed, the rifle will only fire in the semiautomatic mode. If you want full-auto .22 rimfire capability in a (registered) full-auto M16 or AR-15, you have to use a civilian aftermarket conversion kit, such as a Ciener.
July 13, 2011, 05:19 PM
If you're not set on an AR, you can get an M11/9 and a Lage .22 conversion kit for about4 grand. Put a Lage MAX-11 upper and enough goodies on it and it sorta looks like a rifle... :D

Do those things work with .22s? I thought they wanted a bit of recoil to get "cycling."
July 15, 2011, 02:11 AM
I dont think that a recoil stock could work on a 22, theres just is not enough recoil to move the gun as needed.
July 15, 2011, 09:14 AM
You can make a full auto AR for the same price as a semi with FFL&SOT but can't transfer to civilans.
You can't get a lighting link for $4k and they are a whole $ .50 worth of metal.

July 15, 2011, 04:42 PM
Wouldn't the auto sear be quite cheaper than a while lower?
Last I checked registered drop in auto sears often cost MORE than a whole registered M16 receiver. They tend to be more desirable since you can put them in a new quality lower like Noveske, Colt, LMT, etc. and have basically a brand new M16 rather than a 25+ year old lower.
July 15, 2011, 07:15 PM
Drew is correct. Other than the "collector" value of, say a Colt original, the drop-in sear is often a better choice because not only can you put it in one of the lowers Drew described, but...you can take it and move it to another receiver if the old one becomes unserviceable. Once the registered lower receiver wears out, you have an expensive paperweight. And a registered Lightning Link is another option for the same reasons.
July 15, 2011, 07:29 PM
Ahhh, but when the lightning link wears out, it won't hold down as much paper as the trashed receiver would.
Something to think about, long term. ...
July 15, 2011, 11:12 PM

As a guy that owns and knows how to run a TIG and mill can you let me know where I can get one of these "paper weights"?
July 16, 2011, 05:00 AM
but can't transfer to civilans.
Can't transfer to non-civilians, either. Can transfer to Agencies, who can then Issue to personnel in those agencies. Who then operate those issued items per the regulations of the owners--the Agencies.
July 16, 2011, 09:27 AM
As a guy that owns and knows how to run a TIG and mill can you let me know where I can get one of these "paper weights"?
Yup. Usually, when a fairly "simple" chunk of metal is worth that much, nearly any amount of expert machinist's time is worth engaging to keep it functional and/or return it to perfect working condition.
We all know about "re-weld" Garands and such, and try to avoid them. But the issue there is not that the job cannot be done safely and correctly. It is that it often wasn't because the work was only done to make something cheap out of something otherwise useless.
When the item itself is worth $15-20,000, spending even several thousand dollars having a professional, qualified craftsman put a broken one back into service makes a lot of sense.

July 17, 2011, 12:37 PM
and if the lightning link cracks thru the serial number......then what ? :)
July 17, 2011, 06:14 PM
Dunno? Spend another couple-few grand at the expert machining place, like as not. Even a nine or ten grand 'repair' is cheaper than 15-20 for new.
But, that's a guess. I've been wrong before; likely will be again.
July 17, 2011, 08:11 PM
When a part is that valuable they don't wear out, they have new metal added and they get ground or machined down to spec. Metal wears thin or breaks, blob of new metal fills in where needed and you machine it down.
You can essentially build all new parts, but not from scratch, you start with what is left of the old metal so it is technically still the same part just "fixed".
You can fix something indefinitely, it is just a matter of adding more metal.
Since the regulated parts are not the parts that contain the pressure, such as the barrels or chambers, the regulated part can constantly be pieced back together rather easily.
The only real reason the registry gets smaller is people who have the firearms confiscated or lose them somehow.
Every now and then some guy with a collection of machineguns gets busted for some charge, and all those guns can end up confiscated from the prohibited person and leave civilian circulation.
Considering some people have entire vaults of registered machineguns, a rather large chunk can be removed from the registry when the right person goes down.
You hear about it sometimes and it makes the local or regional news, and I am sure there is times it goes unreported.
So the registry does shrink, but it shouldn't be from wear unless someone is naive enough to throw it away when it wear out.

July 17, 2011, 08:43 PM
To answer mopar's original question, you want to build a cheap,papered, fully automatic rifle for just a couple hundred dollars, not going to happen.

Ossabaw Island
Research and Education
The education and research opportunities of a relatively undisturbed barrier island are rare and valuable. Examples of some research activities on the island include an evaluation of tooth wear and survival of vasectomized, rehabilitated deer fawns; investigations into invasive plants such as the tallowtree, and archaeological documentation. Other ongoing studies include annual monitoring of sea turtle nesting success, and neotropical migratory land birds, an evaluation of the impact of deer and feral hogs on the islands vegetation, and monitoring of various pathogens in wildlife. Currently, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Wildlife Resources Division and The Ossabaw Island Foundation cooperate to provide access for research on the island. The Ossabaw Island Foundation also offers educational opportunities that range from day excursions for students to extensive field trips for colleges, high schools and other educational organizations. All academic disciplines (cultural and scientific) provide valid opportunities for research and education, which should encompass Ossabaw's unique ecology and natural and cultural history.

TEKsystems Global Services will open an IT center in Irving, creating 500 jobs and investing $4.8 million (Update at 3:30 p.m.)
TEKsystems Global Services said today that it plans to open an information technology outsourcing center in Irving, creating 500 jobs and investing $4.8 million in the city.
The company, which is based in the Baltimore area, provides IT staffing and outsourcing services to more than 6,000 customers. TEKsystems, which is a subsidiary of Allegis Group, employs about 4,000 people in more than 100 offices worldwide.
"Adding this new center in Irving strengthens our existing network of delivery centers allowing us to better serve our clients," TEKsystems vice president Randy Verdino said in a statement. "We intend to leverage Irving's tremendous wealth of talent at every level by working with local colleges for emerging skills and also hiring experienced people seeking new challenges."
Update at 3:30 p.m.: TEKsystems already employs more than 1,000 people at three offices in Irving, Dallas and North Richland Hills.
Like similar centers in India and Montreal, Canada, the new Irving site will focus on support of client software applications to complement other IT centers in India and Montreal, Canada.
Update at 3:30 p.m.: The state's Texas Enterprise Fund. is providing $1.1 million and the city of Irving is providing $131,000 in financial incentives to the company.

Want Great Hair? It's About the Scalp
If you want truly healthy hair, shampoos and conditioners can only take you so far. Enter: new treatments that focus on the scalp
"HAIR IS LIKE a Parisian roof," said New York-based dermatologist David Colbert. "It has little shingles on it, cuticles. Nothing gets through."
Therein lies the rub in maintaining luscious locks: Most products sit on top of the hair, which may make it temporarily smooth and shiny, but not necessarily any healthier. For that, you need to address the root of the issue: the scalp, which often gets short shrift. Just like your face, this delicate skin changes as you age and needs constant maintenance. And so it makes sense that dermatologists like Dr. Colbert are increasingly getting into hair care via the scalp.
Earlier this year, Dr. Dennis Gross, a Manhattan-based dermatologist, developed a line of three products called Root Resilience. Its Anti-Aging Scalp Serum has many of the same ingredients he uses in his face products: peptides to fight free radicals, retinol to promote cell turnover, salicylic acid to exfoliate and collagen to strengthen the skin.
"Any issue you have with your hair—volume, texture, shine—starts from the scalp," explained Dr. Gross. "Before you have external hair, you have hair inside the scalp, being manufactured by the hair follicle. Treating the scalp with antiaging ingredients allows us to correct the issues within the scalp to get a better end product." Rounding out the line is a Strengthening Shampoo, which contains the powerhouse antioxidant resveratrol, and a Nourishing Scalp Conditioner that soothes the skin with peppermint oil. "With the use of these products, your scalp will be more resistant to damage and will produce healthier hair," said Dr. Gross.
'Treating the scalp may also counteract thinning hair and minimize hair loss.'
Treating the scalp may also counteract thinning hair and minimize hair loss, problems which afflict many women over 40. Until recently, the options to stem shedding and growing bald patches were limited to Rogaine and conventional bits of beauty wisdom such as brushing one's hair a hundred strokes a day. The latter, Dr. Colbert warned, should be avoided, as "you probably break at least one strand with every stroke." Dr. Gross said 10 to 12 strokes daily is enough.
Hair Products That Go Beyond the Surface of the Strand
But the idea behind the practice has merit. "The brush bristles stimulate the scalp, which increases blood flow and potentially increases hair growth," said Dr. Gross.
A better option, both doctors agree, is to take a few minutes every day to gently massage the scalp. A longer weekly massage with the addition of a concentrated scalp serum such as RF 80 from the French line René Furterer can also be beneficial. The 12-week treatment uses Brazilian ginseng and the essential oils of sage and lemon peel to increase circulation. Another French line, Carita, offers a similar product, Haute Beauté Cheveu Cure Anti-Chute. An intensive five-week scalp treatment, it contains rosemary and black pepper extracts. Both treatments smell good enough to eat, but the best dietary change you can make for your hair, advised Dr. Colbert, is to take in enough protein, since hair is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. He also recommended taking a daily supplement of 2.5 milligrams of biotin, one of the few vitamins clinically proven to promote hair growth.
Dermatologists are also applying their arsenal of facial procedures to the scalp for more dramatic results. The most cutting-edge is PRP, or platelet-rich plasma treatment, which Dr. Colbert has been using to treat hair issues for two years.
The procedure involves taking a vial of the patient's blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the concentrated growth factors, which form a gold-hued serum. The serum is then re-injected into the scalp using tiny acupuncture-sized needles. First used in healing sports injuries such as tendinitis, PRP has recently gained a following among dermatologists for its ability to rejuvenate the skin—and now to promote hair growth.
If "vampire shots," as PRP is nicknamed, skew a bit too Halloween for you, a trip to UK-based hair guru Philip Kingsley's London or New York clinics can also provide your scalp with expert attention. Mr. Kingsley has been focusing on scalp care as a route to better hair since 1960. At his clinics, trichologists analyze scalp health, nutritional habits and hair density, and then apply custom, hand-mixed tonics and creams.
They also pinpoint the questions you should be asking your general physician about issues that can affect your hair. That alone could reduce stress levels and increase follicle productivity. But it's Team Kingsley's fabulous scalp massages that will likely have you coming back for more.

Womens Golfers Tune Up for MAC at Dolores Black
The Ball State women's golf team will compete this weekend in its final tournament before the Mid-American Conference Championships.
The Cardinals are in Bowling Green, Ohio, for the Dolores Black Falcon Invitational. The 36-hole tournament begins Saturday with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start for round one. The second and final round will be played Sunday.
The tournament will be contested at Stone Ridge Golf Club, which will be set up at 5,960 yards and play to a par of 72.
