The Department of Geological Sciences at CSULB is a student centered program. It provides undergraduate majors with substantial laboratory and field based instruction and opportunities to participate in research, and graduate students investigate a considerable range and variety of research topics for their M.S. theses. The department is student friendly, encouraging students to be "in" the department as much as possible, interacting with faculty, staff, and each other and making use of the computer facility, the teaching laboratories, and the student lounge. Although many graduate students are part-time with full-time employment, several graduate students are employed in the department as teaching assistants and graduate assistants and provided with study and research space so that the department is their "home". Department seminars provide the opportunity for faculty and students to join together biweekly not only to listen to the presentations of invited speakers but also to socialize afterwards over pizza and beer.
The B.S. degrees in Geology and Earth Science are rigorous requiring at least two semesters of calculus and calculus based physics and extensive field work. Field mapping is taught in 2 unit lower division course and 4 unit (4 week) summer field course, as well as in sedimentology/stratigraphy and structural geology. Special attention is paid to development of writing skills in these courses, culminating in the final report in the Summer Field Geology course. Undergraduates have the opportunity to double major in Geology and Environmental Science and Policy or to take considerable related course work in Civil Engineering. Many undergraduate majors work part-time for local geotechnical or environmental geology consulting firms, and most move on to careers with these same companies upon receiving their degrees. Several local companies were founded by and are led by CSULB graduates.
Research topics of recent M.S. theses include tectonics in Mongolia, astronomical cycles recorded in marine sediments of the Santa Barbara basin, the earliest stratigraphic record of the Antler orogeny in north-central Nevada, geochemistry of sediments from the Cascadia subduction zone, and neotectonics of the Palos Verdes fault system. These graduate student research projects reflects the variety of faculty research interests and the varied instruments and laboratory facilities available to support this research.

"I worked with many great athletes and coaches, allowing me the opportunity to gain experience and confidence that without, I wouldn't be where I am today. LSSU not only gave me my undergraduate education but I gained lifelong friends and connections that will go with me in whatever endeavor that I attempt. Athletic Training at LSSU changed my life and changed my goal in life for the better. "

"One of my favorite things about LSSU is its size. The classrooms, especially as you get to the upper levels, get smaller, so you not only have a chance to discuss your ideas in an honest, supportive manner, but you also get to know your professors and classmates. The upper level courses really allow you to focus on what you love, and the small class size allows you to have time to share and to discuss your ideas."

Marooned Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins make goo-goo eyes near a tropical lagoon that's almost as blue as their budding adolescent love. For TV, the 1980 movie's loincloth close-ups have been kept to a minimum. But the plot is still a maximum of silliness.

Even in its sad state of disrepair, Belleair's shuttered Belleview Biltmore Hotel remains one of the grande dames of Florida architecture. While the hotel has faced demolition several times in recent years, Coral Gables architect Richard Heisenbottle has emerged as the property's best hope of avoiding the wrecking ball and being restored. Heisenbottle blends a reputation as an innovative architect with a passion for the historical significance of the Biltmore, and this may be the last viable shot at saving it.
Built by railroad tycoon Henry B. Plant in 1897 and spread over 4 ½ stories and 820,000 square feet, the Biltmore is the largest wood frame structure in Florida and recalls an era of old-money elegance. The hotel's guest list includes presidents such as Barack Obama, George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, and other figures such as Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio and Bob Dylan. The Biltmore is on the National Register of Historic Places, but restoring the "White Queen of the Gulf" has proven to be a yearslong struggle.
With a crumbling roof and other problems, the Biltmore was closed in 2009 and marked for demolition. Now Heisenbottle and other investors have come forward to sign a purchase agreement with the hotel's latest owner, BB3 Holdings LLC. Heisenbottle has six months to secure financing and design the building's restorations. Good intentions could still collide with balance sheet realities; the project could cost more than $145 million.
Local preservationists have fought the good fight. Heisenbottle and his team may be the last best hope.

Raoul Wallenberg: A Biography
Book presentation with authour Bengt Jangfeldt
Date & Time:Wednesday April 25, 2012 04:00 PM to 06:00 PM
Location:The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, 2121 Allston Way, Berkeley
Bengt Jangfeldt is a Professor of Literature and best-selling writer in Sweden. He is the author of several books on Russian literature, and has twice been awarded the August (Strindberg) Prize, the Sweedish equivalent of the Booker Prize. His forthcoming biography of Raoul Wallenberg (Wahlström & Widstrand, June 2012) is timed with the worldwide commemoration of the centennial of Wallenberg's birth.
A Swedish architect, businessman, and diplomat, Raoul Wallenberg (1912-1947) is widely celebrated for his successful mission to rescue tens of thousands of Jews in Nazi-occupied Hungary. He has become one of the most widely known rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust.

CAREY Preparations are under way to begin designing the Carey Exempted Village Local Schools' new pre-kindergarten through high school building.
The district had proposed a 6.5-mill bond issue last May for the building. The issue is to run for the next 37 years.
Architects from Fanning-Howey are working on a schematic design, Superintendent Michael Wank said.
The current building is two-story and officials are looking to expand to 135,000 square feet over three stories. Total cost for the project is estimated at $ 31 million.
The estimates are based on how much it would cost to have an all brick building, Wank said.
"We will have better windows, doors and flooring," he said.
"I feel that what people see is going to turn out well. They will see that we are going to get the most for our money," he said. "We are not going to waste a square inch."
The building is to be built on the south side of the village along SR 103/US 23, Wank said.
"The district has 40 acres of land they had bought 10 years ago," he said.
"We want a more centralized focus for the students and the community, and to allow for greater access to our media center, or gym," Wank said.
One new perk, Wank said, is a more comfortable, controlled environment for students.
The need for the building came from the community. Prior to the issue passing, the district was looking to make renovations, but the renovations were equal to the cost of a new building.
The high school building was built in 1921 and the elementary building in 1929. Additions were made in 1954 and 1963.
The district has a possible move-in date in 2016.
"To me, the building is like a tool that allows people to do different things," Wank said. "It is no different than a piece of farm machinery. When you have something newer, it is more effective."
With the new building, Wank said, the district will be able to utilize staff more effectively and consolidate services.

Large-scale Conservation on Montana's Glaciated Plains
Bigger is better when it comes to conservation efforts on Montana's glaciated plains, writes Michelle Berry, a Center intern this past summer at the American Prairie Reserve. Representing one of the largest conservation efforts in the United States, the Reserve currently spans 274,000 acres, and hopes to expand to more than three million. At the Reserve, Berry completed a 10-week internship researching historical wildlife populations. Her summer findings were recently featured in The National Geographic Society's NewsWatch blog.
Berry writes:
America's iconic species – bison, pronghorn, elk, wolves, grizzly bears – evolved over tens of thousands of years on a wide-open continent. Over this long period of time, these species became well adapted to environmental "stochasticity," the highly dynamic and unpredictable nature of their habitat. In fact, the prairie is one of the most dynamic ecosystems in the world.

Haha, no big deal for Megatoad
I've been reading Yoyo's journal and I've got a few questions that I'm curious about. (Also I commend you all for how much you know about our complex bodies and your willingness to help others)
I'm thinking about eating a LOT more fruit and reduce intake of other foods. (my reccent visit to wholesalers of fresh fruit made me very happy because I can finally get a lot more in with a much lower food bill! Is there any fruit in particular that I should eat? I'm eating mostly nectarines, peaches, pineapples, oranges and grapes) Yesterday I got over 100 oranges for £8 because a couple of them were rotten, normally they are £11.50) The supermarket sell 10 for £2.
Would eating 75% of my intake (by volume not calories since I'm not yet in tune with eating fruit for calories just because of how much I'd need to eat) from fruit be a bad thing if I'm trying to recover from hypothyroidism? (because of the cooling effect which messes with metabolism) I'm eating a tablespoon of coconut oil and a sprinkle of salt before my first meal to help with temp. Running is also helping
Do my issues follow this path? Hypothyroid which lowers metabolism. Lowered metabolism reduced body temperature because the body is in a stressed state and it trying to hold more which is why I'm cold? I'm not sure if that the right 'order' and would my hypo be due to low carb for so long? I figured if I ever do get tests, I should be well educated on why I think I have problem xxxx due to xxxxx.
Also, does liver glycogen (stored energy as I understand it), reduce T3 production which then leads to hypo? Something tells me this isn't right because I didn't eat many carbs which means no stored glycogen and my hypo symptoms were present long before the increase of carbs.
Fructose and the liver myth? I've read that we should try to eat protein with fruit because it helps the assimilation of fructose. Don't really care about the details, but I'm interested in this.
I still plan on eating a small amount of goat cheese ( not everyday), small amount of 1.5% goat milk (not everyday as I think that fresh OJ/greens juice is better right now). Sweet potatoes once or twice a week which is when I would eat meat. Are rice cakes any good for source of starch, like for a snack? If I can find them cheaply. (4 ingredients, brown rice and chocolate http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kallo-Organi...llo+rice+cakes - Dark chocolate is almost twice the price!
EDIT: Ashwagandha came today. Does it matter what time I take it? Upon waking, midday or evening/night?

Whatup peoples. Just checking in, not much to report. Been feeling pretty much perfect for a few consecutive weeks now and spending most of my time outside or in the gym. Havent really kept up with anyones journals so hope everyone is doing well!
In case anyone is interested, my diet has been exclusively fat free milk, cheese, ice cream, gelatin, chocolate, fruit/fruit juice, coconut oil, salt and occasional eggs. Been pretty strict and for me, this is it. Everything is just about how i have wanting and working for for a few years now. Stopped taking supplements as well a few days ago, i will keep on the adaptogens intermittently and t3/caffeine if i ever need a pick me up which i havent lately. Oh and i have been drinking good German beer and good wine probably 5 nights a week.
So yea, ill try to update once in awhile and keep answering an questions. Just wont be on as much at least not until the beautiful weather disappears.
Sorry, you have been doing this for a few years now???? After 2 years and you are finally down to 18-20% BF??? What did you weigh before??????????? Unless you were 60 plus pounds or more overweight that is very slow progress IMHO.

Eating primal is not a diet, it is a way of life.
Don't forget to play!
Thanks Zach. I've made a lot more effort on exercise, and going outside more to do it. I've been running in the woods lately, waking up early to do it which I would have only dreamt of doing a few months ago. I've stopped consuming goat milk but still eat the cheese. I've gotten a bit fed up with it and it makes me feel full when I've really not. Juice however doesn't do that so I'm still juicing 2 servings a day. What would you say is a good protein but low fat source? Is 2-3oz cheese a day enough for protein, in addition to fruit? I made some gummy candy today with GL gelatine which aren't too bad, I just felt like trying something new.
I thought I'd share some stuff with you all. Look at the huge Spaghetti squash I'm growing! It has about 11 fruits on it so far and since we can't get spaghetti squash here in the UK, I'm very excited to try it. Also have a load of tomatoes and dozens of parsley plants. The Kale you see in the image below is one of 5 containers, so in total there are about 25 plants. (all for the juicer).
One image of part of the wood, well this is a field within the wood. I love going there when there's hardly anyone else about. (It's not a huge wood, I could probably run the entire perimeter in 15 minutes)
Off topic question: I've never been able to grow a full beard and I'm interested in doing so to see if would suit me (since like most guys, shaving sucks) I can grow a light moustache and goatee but that's about it. I'm not looking for a thick carpet, just light stubble over my skin.My Father, 2 older Brothers and younger twin Brother can all grow beards, so it's not a genetic problem. Could this be a sign of low testosterone or something? It's just strange that I only grow facial hair in one area. Any ideas?
Last edited by Nstocks; 07-16-2013 at 06:23 AM.
Dirlot, i was never very overweight. My goals were fixing hypothyroidism, digestive issues and eliminating severe inflammation.
Nstocks, thats awesome dude! The garden and woods looks great, glad you got a nice place to hang outside. Inability to grow facial hair is another sign of hypo and yea it could be about low test as well. Make sure to get at least 100g protein a day.
Put rogaine on your face, beard overnight.
Make America Great Again
Are you still smoking Zach? Oh, and I wouldn't really include caffeine in supplements, it should just be consumed every single day multiple times a day for the vast health properties it has that is impossible to acquire anywhere else. People who claim sensitivity to caffeine just aren't consuming it properly, or enough, imho.

For most of us, our time in college was our first exposure to many new things both good and bad. It was a first taste of freedom, our first attempt to take on new responsibilities and our first time dealing with money management. It is no secret that college students are not rolling in money. Since it is very hard to hold down a full time job and go to school, many either rely on parents or part time employment. On top of that, if you had to get a student loan then you also have a steadily growing mountain of student loan debt to contend with. Without the ability to meet the minimum payment obligations more students every year are defaulting on their loan without a real understanding of the consequences.
Student loans can work for you or tear you down depending on how you deal with it. If you keep up with your payments then you will be rewarded with:
On the other hand, if you can't keep up with payments and end up defaulting then you can expect:
Contacting the Student Consulting Group to assist you with student loan debt problems can be one of the best choices that you make to save your credit. They can help you with various programs to get you back on track with your student loans.
As if going off to college isn't scary enough, you still have to figure out a way to pay for it. It's hard for a student to make their payments and still keep their heads above water. In fact, if you are not able to get a solid job right after graduation then you may face delinquency if you don't get expert help from organizations like the Student Consulting Group.
After the thrill of graduation is over, reality slowly starts to creep in and it can be daunting. You will probably be living away from your friends for the first time in years. You will no longer be eligible for student discounts and most people will have a weighty student loan payment to consider. Some people's student loan debt proves to be such an obstacle that they must go to experts like the Student Consulting Group to find relief.
Finding a job after graduation is becoming harder with each graduating class. Some aren't having any luck at all finding a job in their field of study, however the student loan payments still keep piling up. If you're in need of assistance with you're student loans, make sure to call The Student Consutling Group today to find out what your options are.
It is never a good idea to default on a loan. There are all sorts of negative consequences like damage to your credit score. However, students are not having an easy time of it these days and it's leaving many of them facing a Student Loan Default. There are not as many jobs available to graduates as there once was and it is resulting in many people having to carry their student loans well into adulthood.
Don't let it go to the point of default. Get Help with Student Loans from the Student Consulting Group. They have all the information you need to get back on track.
There are not a lot of places for students to go for Help with Student Loans. Private lenders are charging higher and higher rates and the government is not offering as many assistance programs as they used to. This is leading to a rapid growth in students being forced to default on their loans. In fact, the number has nearly doubled from 2003 to 2012.
So, if you want to get Lower Student Loan Payments then you will have to get expert Help with Student Loans. The Student Consulting Group was created for just this purpose and they have consultants standing by to answer all of your questions.
You may think that you are just a little bit behind on your payments so things are not that dire yet. But default happens after only 270 days and it will definitely change your life for the worst. If you decide to put off getting Help with Student Loans and find yourself in default then you can expect to:
Make an appointment to talk with a consultant at the Student Consulting Group today because the longer you wait the more it will cost you in the long run.
Unfortunately, there are not a lot of options available to students who need Help with Student Loans in Default. This is a real problem because studies show that in the third quarter of 2012 over 10 percent of student loans were 90 days delinquent. That is up from 6 percent in the same quarter of 2003. For a while bankruptcy could Help with Student Loans in Default but the law was changed in 2005 and student loans can no longer be discharged in that way.
When you graduate from college it is supposed to be the time that you start building your life and finding your career. But with a defaulted student loan you will have to start your journey with a massive disadvantage, one that will have an effect on your financial standing and security for years to come.
When you get tired of dealing with harassment from your creditors and the constant drain on your finances, remember there are people that can help. The Student Consulting Group was designed specifically to give Student Loan Debt Help. They can advise you on the best way eradicate your debt so you can get back to enjoying the most exciting time of your life. Don't waste another minute wondering how to get help with your student loans, call The Student Consulting Group now.
Student loans have always been a necessary evil but one that you could have paid off shortly after graduation. If you managed to get a good job, some lucky few even paid them off while still in school but that is no longer the case. It has now become common place for people to still owe on student loan debt well into adulthood.
The current Student Loan Debt has recently reached a staggering total of over 1 trillion dollars. Yes that is with a T. It is now the largest category of consumer debt next to mortgages. This is due to a combination of factors:
In the third quarter of 2012, eleven percent of all student loans were at least ninety days overdue which is considered serious delinquency. This is based on numbers collected by the US Education Department. Since over 30 percent of 20-24 year olds do not have jobs, it is putting a staggering number of borrowers in danger of Student Loan Default.
Whereas college was once the goal of anyone that wanted to get on a fast track to a solid career, people now wonder whether it is worth the expense of tuition. It is, just nowhere near as much as it used to be. There is still a need for higher education and studies show that college graduates have an 87% chance of landing a job compared to the 64 percent chance of a high school graduate.
While there is legislation being considered to give borrowers with student loans relief, there is not any in place at the moment. If you are suffering under the crushing weight of student loans then you need to contact The Student Consulting Group. They can give you the assistance you need to get out from under and start building the life you want.
If we helped you to overcome your student loan debt problems we would love for you to tell us how well we did! We would really appreciate you taking a moment of your time to leave us a review on one of the sites below so that we can reach out and help others just like you.

WEATHERSFIELD - The state fire marshal's office has charged the manager of a local mobile home park with arson following an investigation into a fire that destroyed a vacant trailer and damaged one occupied by a man and his two small sons.
Weathersfield police confirmed that Jeremy Thipideau was arrested on a warrant at the park manager's office at Suburban Mobile Village around noon today. Police said Thipideau also lives at the trailer park. They said they do not yet have a motive for the Nov. 29 fire.
Jason Peyatt, who had to evacuate his mobile home with his sons, said surveillance video of his property clearly shows the suspect holding a gas can, setting the fire and then running from the scene.
"It was just a matter of seconds from the time he was running from the place that I realized my trailer was on fire too, Peyatt said. Im glad I had those cameras up."
No one was injured in the fire, which quickly spread from the vacant trailer to Peyatt's.

Both Parties Have 'Work Cut Out For Them' Attracting Millennials
In a previous post about the recent 'Millennial Values Survey,' I pointed out that young millennials age 18-24 are becoming disillusioned with institutionalized religion.
It's an anecdotal truth we've been throwing around quite a lot lately, but the survey proves the very clear reality that the newest generation of adults is checking the "unaffiliated" box at a rate of one in four.
But young adults aren't just showing apathy for religion—it's politics as well.

BACKGROUND: The modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS) is the current "criterion standard" for assessing child anxiety during induction of anesthesia and has been used in >100 studies. This observational instrument covers 5 items and is typically administered at 4 perioperative time points. Application of this complex instrument in busy operating room (OR) settings, however, presents a challenge. In this investigation, we examined whether the instrument could be modified and made easier to use in OR settings.
METHODS: This study used qualitative methods, principal component analyses, Cronbach αs, and effect sizes to create the mYPAS-Short Form (mYPAS-SF) and reduce time points of assessment. Data were obtained from multiple patients (N = 3798; Mage = 5.63) who were recruited in previous investigations using the mYPAS over the past 15 years.
RESULTS: After qualitative analysis, the "use of parent" item was eliminated due to content overlap with other items. The reduced item set accounted for 82% or more of the variance in child anxiety and produced the Cronbach α of at least 0.92. To reduce the number of time points of assessment, a minimum Cohen d effect size criterion of 0.48 change in mYPAS score across time points was used. This led to eliminating the walk to the OR and entrance to the OR time points.
CONCLUSIONS: Reducing the mYPAS to 4 items, creating the mYPAS-SF that can be administered at 2 time points, retained the accuracy of the measure while allowing the instrument to be more easily used in clinical research settings.

FAU Harbor Branch Scientists Awarded National Institutes of Health Grant for Pancreatic Cancer Research
BOCA RATON, Fla. (April 10, 2013) – Scientists at FAU's Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute (HBOI) have been awarded a grant of $345,716 by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to identify marine natural products for their potential use in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. The principal investigator for this award is Esther Guzmán, Ph.D., along with co-investigator Amy Wright, Ph.D.
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, with a five-year survival rate of only 6 percent. Guzmán and Wright will initiate a screening effort with this grant to discover inhibitors of the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End products (RAGE) in pancreatic cancer cells using HBOI's unique library of marine natural products. RAGE has emerged as an important regulator of inflammatory, stress and cell survival pathways, which contribute to the aggressiveness of pancreatic cancer.
"To identify potential treatments for pancreatic cancer, we are looking beyond compounds that directly kill cancer cells to compounds that can change key processes that have gone awry inside the cancer cells or that alter the microenvironment surrounding the tumor, both of which can facilitate tumor initiation and disease progression," said Guzmán. "Chronic inflammation creates a microenvironment that is conducive to cancer formation. RAGE has recently been shown to be a key factor in driving the inflammatory process in pancreatic cancer cells and discovery of inhibitors that block its action may provide new therapeutic options. We hope that inhibitors of RAGE will not only have the ability to fight pancreatic cancer but may also be used to prevent it from ever developing."
Guzmán and Wright are members of the Marine Biomedical and Biotechnology Research Program at HBOI, working to discover marine natural products that can be used as medicines or as tools to better understand the molecular basis of disease. They have identified more than 100 marine natural products with cancer fighting properties.
Guzman and Wright are co-inventors on a U.S. patent that was awarded last year covering the potential use of manzamine A, a natural product isolated from a marine sponge, as a treatment in pancreatic cancer. Manzamine A is not a potent killer of pancreatic cancer cells, but its anti-tumor properties stem from its ability to change the tumor microenvironment and the signaling pathways of the cancer cells.
Wright serves as the director of the multidisciplinary Florida Center of Excellence in Biomedical and Marine Biotechnology. This Center brings together groups with established expertise in marine biotechnology, functional genomics and bioinformatics in a synergistic fashion with the overall goal of discovering and developing new medicines and transferring new technology related to marine drug discovery to the industrial sector.
For more information, contact Carin Campbell Smith at 772-242-2230 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit www.cebmb.info/.
This project was supported by the Department of Health and Human Services National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health through grant number 1R21CA176222-01.

By Darlene Grove, Stevensville
As you begin a new year in your position as RC Commissioners, I hope you have taken time to consider the issues you chose to advance in 2013, and evaluate whether the benefits to the general populace of Ravalli County were worth the time, effort and funding expended. As a citizen of Ravalli County, there were two issues concerning Federal Lands that I have followed with interest: one being local control of federal lands, and the other the Federal Reserved Water Rights.
It is troubling to me that you as Commissioners feel you have an obligation to gain management of public lands with the county boundaries. And that you feel you should object to USFS reserved water rights.
It is apparent you are being encouraged in this pursuit by local residents, but they are being encouraged by a constant national movement perpetuated by corporate interests. These same interests are currently endeavoring to pass federal statutes that will privatize our public lands and their management. One only has to look into our history to know that from the very earliest times the wealthiest in our nation have sought to own and exploit any available land and resources. The eastern forests were soon gobbled up and cut down. The same exploitation occurred as development moved west, then the lake states and the southern states, then to the west and the great forests of the Northwest, California and back to the Rocky Mountains.
Not only our forest lands, but open grazing lands were being grabbed by mining and grazing interests. We are fortunate that as history evolved, there were wise and thoughtful people in decision making positions, and their supporters, who realized what was left should belong to all the citizens of this country, not just to the wealthy. Thanks to very wise, far sighted and thoughtful leaders, particularly President Theodore Roosevelt and Forester Gifford Pinchot, we now have national forests, national parks, and other federally administered lands set aside as designated public lands.
In my lifetime there have been many movements to take over control of our national forests and other federal lands. Notably the Sagebrush Rebellion on through to the present efforts by the American Lands Council and others. Do we not remember why our ancestors came to America? Many came to exploit, but my ancestors and others came because they could have land that they owned, open land for their children and descendants, they could have access to hunting and fishing, and they would not have to beg for entry to large tracts of land owned by the wealthy.
So in evaluating and balancing your time, efforts and funds for the coming year, I hope you will allocate your resources to protect the health, welfare and safety of the majority of citizens in Ravalli County. It is certainly a stretch for me to believe that you have justification to even contemplate the management of our public lands. And I also think it most unprofessional and unethical to accept private money to advance the cause of a few citizens.
I believe it would help in this evaluation to check on the history of how and why our public lands came to be. It is your obligation to seek objective sources, not sources funded by the corporate interests of the groups perpetuating privatizing public lands. Certainly that research would help in assessing the future impacts to our valley.
On the issue of reserved FS Water Rights. Before you again put county funds, your time and efforts into appealing the provisions of the Compact, you each have an obligation to assess the benefits to all who live here. The visionaries who created the National Forest system did so not only to protect timbered lands for the public interest, they also understood the need to protect water resources. Our forest and wilderness lands are the most reliable, purest and best source of water resources in this country. The watershed of Ravalli County is one of the best in the nation. Keeping our watershed and reserved water rights in public ownership is the safest way to protect the water for all the people.
So in summary, I would expect you as leaders of this county, to concentrate on the work you have before you in managing the county government.

The study of arterial blood pressure in the new-born has been carried out by many investigators. Most of the results have been observed in only a few subjects, as part of a more extensive study in older children. Von Basch,1 a pioneer in this field, worked with an apparatus which now seems crude, namely, a padded button exerting a measured pressure on the radial artery. Systolic pressure was determined by observing pulsations at the wrist. Following him came Neu,2 Trumpp,3 Oppenheimer and Bauchwitz,4 Gundobin,5 Popoff,6 Ssladkoff7 and Seitz and Becker.8
Paul Balard9 made an extensive study of the blood pressure in the new-born and published several articles on the subject. He did this work with a Pachon oscillometer, the common blood pressure apparatus of France. He found that the average systolic pressure of forty new-born infants was 55 mm. of mercury,

Meteorologists are keeping their eyes on a "mini-front" headed toward Buffalo that has the potential to bring scattered severe thunderstorms to the region this afternoon or evening.
"Any storm that develops has the potential of damaging winds and potentially large hail," warned Jim Mitchell with the National Weather Service's Buffalo office.
But where such storms would hit is up in the air, he said. The greatest potential is south and east of the city but that doesn't mean Buffalo will stay clear.
"We've got enough instability that a storm could form anywhere," Mitchell said.
In the meantime, we're in for another hot and muggy summer day, befitting the first day of July.
"It's going to feel like the mid-90s," Mitchell said. Further inland, the heat index will feel like the mid-100s.
So far, neither the humid conditions nor the potential for storms is changing plans for outdoor World Cup soccer viewing parties scheduled at Canalside in Buffalo and Old Falls and Third Street in Niagara Falls. The USA-vs.-Belgium game begins at 4 p.m.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of electronic sensors and controls manufacturer Sensata Technologies (NYSE: ST ) sank as low as 10% today after the company issued guidance that disappointed Wall Street.
So what: Sensata's fourth-quarter results were in line with estimates -- EPS of $0.47 on revenue of $445.4 million -- but downbeat guidance for the current quarter and 2013 triggers concerns over slowing growth going forward. Of course, the stock has surged over the past few months on optimism over rebounding demand, so a small hiccup shouldn't come as too big of a surprise.
Now what: Management now sees full-year 2013 EPS of $2.00-$2.20 on revenue of $1.93 billion-$2.03 billion, versus the consensus of $2.27 and $2.0 billion, respectively. "While our top line growth opportunities will continue to be challenged by near-term economic weakness in 2013, our disciplined focus on margin improvement will result in higher earnings growth," CEO Martha Sullivan said in a statement. "We remain confident our long-term growth drivers are still intact." With the stock now off its 52-week high and trading at a reasonable forward P/E of 15, buying into that confidence might not be a bad idea.

Dr. Pawan Dhawan recently started as the new medical director of the hospitalist program at Trident and Summerville medical centers. "Basically our hospitalists are physicians who take care of internal medicine patients who are admitted to the hospital. It's one of the most rapidly growing fields of medicine," says Dr. Dhawan, who served on the Society of Hospital Medicine's Leadership Committee in 2011. Trident Health's hospitalist program ensures that a physician is available on site, 24-7, to handle a patient's immediate and overall needs. A hospitalist works as part of a team, coordinating treatment with the patient's primary care provider as well as specialists, nurses, family members and other important players, so strong communication is essential. Dr. Dhawan plans to expand the number of hospitalists in Trident Health's program over the next year or so and will continue to see patients himself. "That is the best part of the job."

NAME, MI -- After 14 years running the show at Kearsley School District, Superintendent Jeff Morgan announced this week he will be retiring after the school year.
"I think I caught them off guard a little bit," Morgan said of his announcement to staff Wednesday.
Morgan is the longest serving of the 22 superintendents at Genesee County's public schools, said GISD Spokesman Jerry Johnson.
Morgan, 57, is in his 22nd year working at Kearsley and his 36th year working in education.
Morgan will stay with the district through the end of July to see through some sinking fund projects, he said.
Morgan said several factors played into his decision, the largest being "an opportunity in a related field that's gonna keep me busy."
Morgan declined to share any further details.
He also said changes from lawmakers have been taxing.
"To be honest with you, it's kind of a grind laying people off every years and trying to rub two dimes together," he said.
Morgan said he did not know how the board will go about searching for his replacement, but said he thinks there are some qualified candidates within the district.

So lately I've been putting some thought into getting myself prepared for an emergency. Since I'm in CA, the first emergency that I would envision is an earthquake...and the second a revolution against our incompetent politicians. What does everyone have stockpiled away for protection in the event that you have to take care of you and your own? The common belief around here is that I should be able to take care of myself for 3 days, since that is the time that it would take to get emergency services up and running, but I would like to prepare for a Katrina scale disaster here in CA that really disrupts civilization or even a government meltdown scenario. How many magazines, rounds of ammo and spare parts should I have on hand? I'm somewhat knowledgeable about handguns and I know why I've selected mine, but what rifle should I look getting for this kind of situation? What pack should I throw all this stuff in? I would think such a pack should be able to hold the stuff I need but yet able to grab and go if need be.

Defending Showers
Defending Showers
Let me get this out of my system. Mayor Tommy Battle and assistant Rex Reynolds and the rest who are using Mr. Showers just because he put 10 gallons of gas in his daughter's car. Aren't there more important things to work on instead of making a big issue out of this? After all, he's only human. Everyone can make a mistake.
Big or small, we're not perfect. He's run for six terms and this is one way to get him out. I feel bad for the man and I'm not prejudice.
We were taught not to see black and white. I'm in my 70s and I don't think it's right to abuse someone that has served well for the city and community for a long time.
He paid for that gas and apologized so drop it. Take care of the storm cleanup and victims. Thank God we had no damage here but we lost some power for seven days and lived in our camper till power came.
That's OK as we didn't lose our home or family members.
But our work, donations, prayers and our hearts and souls go out to all we could and can help.

Follow the law
The recent ruling by the Supreme Court on Arizona's immigration law was a good common sense one.
Gov. Brewer was right all along. Under Title 8 Section 1644 United States Code "nothwithstanding any other provision of federal,state, or local law,no state or local entity may be prohibited, or in any way restricted, from sending to or receiving from the immigration service information regarding the immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of an alien in the United States."
Title 8 Section 1324 U.S. Code: aiding,abetting,encouraging,harboring,transporting,and hiring illegals is a felony.
I think the big one is Article 4 Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution: "The United States shall guarantee to every state in the union a republic form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion and domestic violence."
The administration currently in Washington allowed Mexico to sue Arizona, another violation of the Constitution Amendment Xl, which reads, "The judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity,commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another state,or by citizens or subjects of any foreign state."
Hey ACLU what part of these laws did you miss?

Lost sheep
I recently read a review of the movie "Atlas Shrugged" in The Times letters section. Having read the book, I thoroughly agree with it. "Atlas Shrugged" was an incredibly accurate prediction - especially so, considering that it was published in 1957 - of the social and economic disaster in which we now find ourselves.
It illustrates the point that our future depends on our ability to shed ourselves of the, it's not my fault, and social justice mindset that has led us so far astray. We must begin doing what is right regardless of the difficulty. In navigation, even a few degrees of error results in completely missing the destination and as a nation, we have erred and strayed like lost sheep.

It might put a bad taste in your mouth: A New Orleans schools food service provider is being accused of union-busting. The Service Employees International Union Local 21 Louisiana filed three complaints Friday with the National Labor Review Board charging that Revolution Foods is illegally pressuring workers to keep the union out. Because of the complaints, the board decided Tuesday to indefinitely postpone an election to join SEIU that had been scheduled for Wednesday.
According to the filing documents provided by SEIU, Revolution fired three workers for supporting the union, held a meeting promising workers higher wages if they stayed non-union, flew in top executives as an intimidation technique and surveilled employees who spoke with union reps.
The California-based Revolution is a recent addition in the New Orleans school food world. The company opened a production facility in Kenner this summer that employs 72 people to serve 17 schools.
"Revolution is going around telling a lot of workers not to vote for the union," said Joshua James, who said the company fired him because he was depicted in a flyer featuring pro-union workers that SEIU sent to management. "A lot of workers are terrified about losing their jobs."
The Recovery School District, which has oversight of most of New Orleans' public schools, contracts with Revolution to provide food at several of the district's non-chartered schools, including Benjamin Banneker and A. P. Tureaud elementaries. Several independent charters also use the company.
"The RSD expects the highest quality of services for all of our students. We will reach out to both parties to discuss the matter," spokeswoman Zoey Reed said in an email.
The other local school food service providers are Sodexo and Aramark, which are union shops at the K-12 level, and Chartwells, which is not, said SEIU organizer Helene O'Brien.
Sodexo ran into labor trouble locally in October 2010 when its food service workers at Tulane staged a one-day walkout to protest low wages. The following June, Sodexo was called before the National Labor Relations Board on charges of intimidating workers at both Loyola and Tulane from unionizing under SEIU.
O'Brien said union leaders were disappointed in Revolution because they supported the company's emphasis on health. Revolution's website says it provides "real food," not junk food, and does not use artificial ingredients, high-fructose corn syrup or trans fats. Revolution did not respond to requests for comment.

Located on the outer rim of a distant galaxy is a planet with deep secrets and a mysterious origin. This is Iron Star, a world inhabited by a society of robots. During a disaster in the science lab, a sinister robot with a mind of its own was created—the evil General Corrosive.
After eliminating his makers, this powerful machine began to fulfill his dream of creating the ultimate army. Using his superior intellect, he took over a robot manufacturing plant and began producing a militia of robot minions dedicated to serving him. He called this new race the Mils. The pillage of Iron Star began shortly afterward as they overtook all of the robot manufacturing facilities to build more Mil soldiers. At this point the Droids, the working class robots of Iron Star, became slaves of Gen. Corrosive.
You are Glitch, the gun-slinging, half-ton menacing bot of Droid City who blasts his way to victory. Found as scrap metal, but transformed into destructive machinery, Glitch is determined to free his people from the evil clutches of General Corrosive and his maniacal army of Mil bots. Unleash a world of pain as you annihilate the General's sinister plan to dominate the world, and salvage the robot race

y daughter Ali wasn't happy.
There are more than 500 recipes in the 2008 Taste of Home cookbook and I picked something with a pound of mushrooms.
''What am I supposed to eat?'' she asked.
Article Photos
Creamy bacon mushroom soup and asparagus brunch pockets are shown in this photo. Switching out whipping cream for low-fat half brings the soup recipe from heart attacky to hearty, while the brunch pockets take advantage of abundant seasonal asparagus.
Ali isn't a fan of fungi.
But I had a package of good bacon (Niman Ranch, applewood smoked, no hormones or antibiotics) in the fridge that I needed to use for something, and creamy bacon mushroom soup sounded like a hearty concoction.
Make that a heart attacky concoction.
Fact Box
Asparagus Brunch Pockets
TIME: 20 minutes prep; 15 minutes baking
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon diced pimientos
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1/8 teaspoon salt
Pinch pepper
1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
2 teaspoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon seasoned bread crumbs
In a large saucepan, bring 1/2 in. of water to a boil. Add asparagus; cover and boil for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, milk and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in the pimientos, onion, salt and pepper.
Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles; place on an ungreased baking sheet. Spoon 1 teaspoon of cream cheese mixture into the center of each triangle; top with asparagus. Top each with another teaspoonful of cream cheese mixture. Bring three corners of dough together and twist; pinch edges to seal.
Brush with butter; sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 8 servings.
Creamy Bacon Mushroom Soup
TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 minutes
10 bacon strips, diced
1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 quart heavy whipping cream
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
1-1/4 cups shredded Swiss cheese
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons water
In a large saucepan, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. In the drippings, saute the mushrooms, onion and garlic. Stir in cream and broth. Gradually stir in cheese until melted.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, pepper and water until smooth. Stir into soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Garnish with bacon.
For eight servings of soup, the recipe called for a full quart of heavy whipping cream. That's more than 3,000 calories or about 400 calories of fat (most of it saturated fat) per bowl. There's also bacon and swiss cheese in there, so this soup might rival a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream in calories.
And that's just not right.
Granted, some things shouldn't be tampered with. I eat more veggie burgers than hamburgers and can make a surprisingly satisfying replacement for Skyline chili with vegetarian crumbles, but there's no replacement for real bacon (not veggie, not turkey).
However, switching out the whipping cream for low fat half & half eliminated nearly 300 calories per bowl. A fat-free half & half or evaporated skim milk might have eliminated even more. The low-fat was able to get rid of a lot of calories (and the guilt that comes with them) without sacrificing the creaminess in the title of the recipe.
The swiss cheese and a little cornstarch provided plenty of richness to the base, the mushrooms added a chunky goodness and the smell of fresh-cooked bacon that filled the kitchen after the first step even had Ali willing to give the soup a try.
The recipe lists the prep/cooking time at 30 minutes, which seems a bit optimistic. But it's a simple soup to make, and I only got slowed down because I was trying to multitask and prepare a second dish simultaneously.
The other thing we had in the fridge that I wanted to incorporate into the meal was asparagus, which is abundant and inexpensive at this time of year.
Nothing is better with a bowl of soup than a fresh baked savory bread, and Taste of Home's asparagus brunch pockets filled that need while bringing some more vegetables into the meal.
The recipe can be assembled quickly because it relies on tubes of refrigerated crescent rolls for the pastry. Cooks can cut a few calories here by using neufchatel or fat-free cream cheese in place of the full-fat version. The pimientos, chopped onion and asparagus provide most of the flavor; the primary function of the cream cheese is to provide a smooth filling.
Because I was cooking dinner for five, I decided to double the brunch pocket recipe so everyone would have at least two.
Anyone planning on doing the same probably could get by with increasing the filling recipe by only 50 percent. Even being generous with my stuffing, I had both asparagus and cream cheese mixture left over after filling my 16 crescent rolls.
The crescent roll dough is easy to handle and cooks don't need to be too fanatical about sealing every single seam on the pockets. Even on the ones I was sloppy in assembling, the rolls were fully cooked without the filling oozing out.
Both dishes earned rave reviews from everyone at the table (Ali even ate a couple mushrooms, although she opted for a third asparagus brunch pocket instead of more soup). And while they were better fresh from the oven, the brunch pockets were enjoyable cold for lunch the next day.
