New Calumet police chief fired
With little effort, Trick or Treat time can be the best of times
With Halloween Thursday the three "trick or treat" opportunities for kids around here comes to an end. Things started on Friday with downtown Houghton's Treat Street, where merchants handed out goodies and more. Many store and shop workers donned costumes and there were elaborate decorations. Hats off to the Houghton Police Department for their Haunted Police Station, always a popular event.
The Treat Street was followed the very next day by Michigan Technological University's Safe House where many of the dorms featured trick or treating, haunted houses, games and other activities in a warm, dry, supervised and safe environment, all free of charge.
Our thanks and appreciation goes out to all the businesses, Michigan Tech staff and students for making these events so special for youngsters.
And now it's our turn.
Trick or Treating in most areas Thursday brings the holiday to a sweet conclusion. As a precautionary note we'd like to take this moment to remind both parents and children alike, to make safety the number one priority.
Despite hundreds of children packing the streets and dormitories, both events were handled effectively and, more importantly, safely.
We ask that both those doling out treats and those responsible for the children gathering them follow some simple guidelines for safe trick or treating.
According to experts, these simple tips will make the experience safe for all concerned.
Plan a route in advance, and stick to a route that both children and adults are familiar with
Wear comfortable shoes. Girls in dresses should avoid heels and all shoelaces should be double-tied to avoid tripping in the dark.
Make sure children can see as well as be seen. Reflective tape on costumes allows motorists to see the youngsters, while flashlights are an easy solution to both the problem of seeing where you're going and making it easier to be seen.
Costumes should be short to avoid dragging and possibly tripping a youngster and should be appropriate for weather conditions.
Avoid masks. These make it difficult for kids to see and to breath. If possible, use non-toxic makeup to complete the costume.
Use flexible props. If a costume can't be complete without a weapon, make sure the sword or gun is rubber or plastic and won't cause injury to your child or their friends.
Check your child's candy at the end of the night and make sure you throw away anything that is not in its original wrapper or looks as if it has been opened.
Homeowners, make sure your yard, sidewalk and steps are clear and well lighted.
Our thanks go out in advance to local police, fire and EMT departments and volunteers who make it a point to patrol neighborhoods during the trick or treating hours. Parents, if your older children are out on their own, make sure they know to look for neighborhood patrols in the event of problems or any difficulties.
With little effort and a concentration on safety, this Halloween can be the fun time youngsters expect it to be.

FAA Electronics Ban on Planes Causes More Harm Than Good

Passengers are acting out against the rules and even hurting one another
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) worries that
electronic device use on planes
places passengers in harm's way, but the real issue is that the FAA is spreading fear about an issue that hasn't been proven yet.
The FAA has set rules that make it so passengers cannot use electronic devices like smartphones, tablets and e-readers during takeoff and landing on a flight. However, there is no solid proof that electronics affect the way a plane performs. This has been in question for some time, but the FAA continues to impose these rules on passengers, and it has caused panic and even injuries among those who travel by plane.
For instance, a 68-year-old man punched a 15-year-old on a plane when the teenager refused to turn off his smartphone during a flight. According to the man, he was doing it to save the entire plane from any harmful consequences.
Just a couple of months ago, a passenger was arrested in El Paso when he decided not to turn off his cell phone during landing. Last month, another passenger did the same when landing in New York and a swarm of cop cars were waiting for him once he exited the plane.
Of course, many also remember the incident where Alec Baldwin was kicked off a plane in 2011 for playing Words With Friends.
This goes to show that the FAA is causing more trouble by making people believe that electronics are an issue when they may very well not be.
Back in March, the FAA said it would
the effects of tablet/e-reader use
during takeoff and landing.

The FAA likely put this testing off due to costs and the amount of testing required for these devices to pass. In order for the FAA to approve the use of e-readers and tablets during takeoff and landing, each kind of device needs to be tested. For example, an iPad cannot be tested alone; the iPad 2 and the new iPad must be tested as well. There are already several versions of the Kindle available as well, such as the Kindle Fire tablet, and many other Android-powered tablets on the market. There are now Windows 8 tablets on the market too.
In early December 2011, the FAA raised a few eyebrows when
allowing American Airlines pilots to use iPads in the cockpit
. The FAA allowed iPads to replace paper manuals and charts, and they could be used during takeoff and landing. The FAA argued that allowing two iPads in the cockpit was a significantly different scenario than several passengers using several devices for longer periods of time.
Earlier this month, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
pressured the FAA to allow greater use of electronic devices
during takeoff and landing because
"they empower people to stay informed and connected with friends and family, and they enable both large and small businesses to be more productive and efficient, helping drive economic growth and boost U.S. competitiveness."

SOFTBALL: Double no-hitters, doubleheader sweep for Lady Dragons
ERIE – Unhittable.
Alexa Bupp and Meghan Loutzenhiser each fired no-hitters Tuesday, helping the Lady Dragons to a doubleheader sweep of Erie East. Warren won game one, 15-0, before winning the nightcap, 16-0.
"I was obviously very pleased with the way we bounced back after the loss yesterday," said Bupp. "We did a great job at the plate. In the second came, I was very happy with the way some of our younger kids stepped up and delivered. Today, every member of our team contributed."
In the opener, Warren needed just three innings to win via the mercy rule. Bupp struck out six and walked none on the mound and the Dragons belted out 16 hits in the win. Erica Blair and Meghan Loutzenhiser collected three hits apiece and Kaitlin Ishman, Bupp and Loutzenhiser knocked in two runs each. All three of those players hit home runs in the victory.
In the second game, coach Bupp was able to mix up his lineup and get some new players into the contest.
Sierra Wees and Brittany Massa each had their first varsity hits in the game and exchange student Ingrid Skar also had her first varsity action in the win. Skar wasn't satisfied with just being in the game, either, finishing with a two-run single and a stolen base.
"She had never played softball before coming here," said Bupp. "I couldn't possibly be happier for her."
Loutzenhiser was the winning pitcher in the second game, striking out six and walking none like Bupp in the opener.
The Dragons (7-1, 6-1 Region 7) will return to the diamond Thursday when they travel to Erie to showdown with Mercyhurst Prep.

Franklin 13, Youngsville 3
FRANKLIN – Youngsville softball coach Ron Jameson said the final score of Tuesday's 13-3 loss to Franklin doesn't indicate how well his Eagles played.
"We kept fighting," said Jameson. "We were hitting the ball and going right at them. Their fielders made some nice plays, but we kept putting the ball in play. We only struck out three times in 26 official at-bats."
Youngsville finally strung some hits together in the top of the sixth inning, scoring all three of its runs. Haley Gray reached on a fielders choice and scored on Julia Sveda's RBI single to start the scoring. Kelsey Anderson would later add an RBI groundout and Kennedy Cratty ripped an RBI single to make the score 9-3 at the time.
However, Franklin would respond with four runs in the bottom of the sixth, ending the game early via the 10-run rule.
The Lady Eagles (2-4) finished with seven total hits. Sveda and Jessica Jameson had two hits each and Kennedy Cratty, Karissa Cratty and Judi Lewis had one hit each.
Youngsville returns to action Wednesday, traveling to Union City.
YOUNGSVILLE (3): Ke. Cratty, ss, 3-0-1-1, Horn, p, 4-0-0-0, Jameson, cf, 2-0-2-0, Gustafson, 3b, 3-0-0-0, Ka. Cratty, 2b, 2-0-1-0, Gray, lf, 3-1-0-0, Sveda, rf, 3-1-2-1, Lewis, c, 3-1-1-0, Anderson, 1b, 3-0-0-1, Totals: 26-3-7-3

Iroquois 16, Eisenhower 1
Iroquois ripped the cover off the ball Tuesday, soundly defeating Eisenhower by a 16-1 count at Eisenhower High School.
The Braves took momentum of the game after a scary incident early in the game in which Ike pitcher Emily McJunkin was struck by a line drive back through the box. McJunkin showed heart by shaking off the incident and staying in the game, but Iroquois showed little mercy with the bats.
The Braves scored 15 runs between the third and fourth innings, turning a 1-0 game after two innings into a game that ended after four innings via the 15-run rule.
The Knights finished the afternoon with three hits as Haylie Birt, McJunkin and Natasha Morrison all singled. Ike's lone run came in the third inning when Mallory Trumbull reached on an error, Mallory Schutt walked, Birt singled and Trumbull scored on Dakota Williams' RBI groundout.
Eisenhower (1-4) will try to improve on its season record Thursday when it hosts Titusville.
IROQUOIS (16): Cabaday, 2b, 4-2-3, Tombaugh, 1b, 4-3-1, Ragen, p, 4-2-3, Rizzo, dp, 3-1-2, Kaliewski, ss, 3-1-2, Martin, lf, 3-1-2, Hatton, c, 2-1-1, Johnson, lf, 3-2-3, Finotti, 3b, 2-3-1, Canavan, cf, 0-0-0, Totals: 28-16-18

CAREER DESCRIPTION: Sports Trainer
In general, sports trainers evaluate, advise, and treat athletes to assist recovery from injury, avoid injury, or maintain peak physical fitness.
Sports trainers advise athletes on the proper use of apparatus. They also massage body parts to relieve soreness and bruises. Equally important, sports trainers have to conduct an initial assessment of an athlete's injury or illness to furnish emergency or continued care, and to establish whether they should be referred to physicians for definitive diagnosis and treatment. They are often called upon to formulate and implement comprehensive athletic injury and illness prevention programs. They are expected to recommend special diets to further optimize athletes' health, increase their stamina, or alter their weight. Finally, sports trainers talk with coaches to decide on protective apparatus.
Every day, sports trainers are expected to be able to evaluate problems as they arise. They need to articulate ideas and problems. It is also important that they piece together evidence to, in some sense, diagnose what is going on in a situation.
It is important for sports trainers to conduct research and furnish instruction on subject matter pertaining to athletic training or sports medicine. They are often called upon to lead stretching exercises for team members before games and practices. Somewhat less frequently, sports trainers are also expected to assess and report the progress of recovering athletes to coaches and physicians.
Sports trainers sometimes are asked to perform team-support duties such as running errands and stocking supplies. And finally, they sometimes have to accompany injured athletes to hospitals.
Like many other jobs, sports trainers must have a strong concern for others and be reliable.

Total shoulder joint replacement is an option given to patients who suffer from joint dysfunction. This is usually the result of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, but more rarely for those who have sustained severe trauma from a shoulder fracture. Generally, all other modes of treatment are considered first, such as physical therapy and medication, but total shoulder replacement can provide pain relief and increased mobility for those who have not experienced relief.
This document presents a general overview of total shoulder replacement surgery at Cleveland Clinic. Because each patient's condition differs, please take note that certain aspects of your care may be altered according to your needs and the recommendations of your orthopaedic surgeon.
(Fig. 1) Similar to the hip joint, the shoulder is a large ball and socket joint. It is made up of bones, tendons, muscles and ligaments which hold the shoulder in place but also allow movement. Bones of the shoulder joint include: the clavicle (collar bone), scapula (shoulder blade), and humerus (arm bone). The clavicle attaches the shoulder to the rib cage and holds it out away from the body.
(Fig. 2) The clavicle connects with the large flat triangular bone, the scapula (shoulder blade) at the acromioclavicular joint (A.C. joint or the acromion). The rounded head of the humerus, or arm bone, rests against the socket in the shoulder blade.
In a total shoulder replacement, a metal ball is used to replace the humeral head while a polyethylene cup becomes the replacement of the glenoid socket.
The primary indication for a total shoulder replacement is pain which will not respond to non-operative treatment. Pain may be the result of abnormalities and changes in the joint surfaces as a result of arthritis or fractures.
The primary goal of total shoulder replacement surgery is to alleviate pain with secondary goals of improving motion, strength and function.
Your consultation visit and initial appointment with the orthopaedic surgeon will include a series of x-rays, a physical examination and a thorough review of your medical history.
Except for emergency reasons, your surgery will be scheduled in advance. Knowing the date of your operation, you will have enough time to prepare and plan for any special help you might need following discharge from the hospital. The average length of stay in the hospital for a total shoulder replacement is two to three days.
It is important to have a partner to assist you with your home exercises following discharge. Your partner should accompany you to physical therapy at least once or twice during your hospital stay.
You should discontinue use of any anti-inflammatory medication, including aspirin, one week before surgery. Check with your doctor before discontinuing use of any medication.
A series of pre-operative tests will be scheduled one to two weeks before surgery. They will usually include: blood tests, an electrocardiogram (EKG) or test that records electrical activity of the muscle, a physical examination, a visit with your orthopaedic surgeon and anesthesiologist (the physician that will administer pain medication during the procedure). You will receive your routing schedule by mail.
Most patients spend the night before surgery either at home or in a hotel nearby. They are then admitted to the hospital the next morning. This method of admission is called TCI - "to come in." This allows you to be with your family the night before your surgery. Your surgeon will inform you of your scheduled surgery appointment time and where to go to within the hospital on the day of the surgery.
You may not eat or drink anything after midnight the day before your surgery. Your anesthesiologist will give you instructions about your daily medications. Some medications may be discontinued because they will complicate surgery and other medications you may need.
Your physician and the anesthesiologist will discuss with you the type of anesthetic that is most appropriate for you. The most frequent form is a regional or block anesthetic supplemented with general anaesthesia. You will also be given medications through your IV which will keep you relaxed, comfortable and sedated.
After surgery, most patients are able to eat a regular dinner and walk to the bathroom. Regional anesthesia offers prolonged pain relief after the operation.
The morning of your surgery, you will be admitted to the TCI center. Two family members may remain with you until the time of your surgery. Any nail polish should be removed prior to admission. You will be asked to remove all jewelry, glasses, dentures, wigs and contact lenses. No rings may be worn on either hand, and any articles of value should be left home or given to your family members.
The nurses will prepare you for surgery by taking your blood pressure, pulse, temperature and administering pre-operative medications. These medications may cause drowsiness and a dry mouth. An IV or intravenous line for fluid, medication and antibiotics will then be inserted in your arm before transfer to the operating room.
You will be transported to surgery on a cart. Different hospital staff will be asking your name, verifying your identification bracelet and asking you which shoulder will be operated on, right or left. Prior to surgery, please use a marker to write "no" on the non-operative shoulder. This indicates the correct shoulder should any miscommunication occur.
Your family may wait in the designated area, where they can check in with the receptionist. As soon as your surgery is over, your surgeon will call the waiting area and ask to with speak with your family.
In the operating room, you will meet nurses, physicians, technicians and anesthesiologists. You will then be moved to the operating table and made comfortable. Your head will be positioned, turned away from the shoulder to be operated on. Sterile surgical draping will be hung to shield and protect the surgical site. The anesthesiologist will remain by your head, monitoring your condition throughout the surgery.
The operating room will be bright and very cool. Blankets are available to keep you warm. Because of the number of people working, the room will seem very busy and somewhat noisy. The surgery will last approximately two hours.
After surgery, you will be transported to the Post Anesthesia Recover Unit (PACU), where you will be cared for by skilled nurses and members of the anesthesiology team. They will monitor your vital signs (blood pressure, pulse and breathing) frequently while you are recovering from the effects of anesthesia. When you awake, you will have a large bulky dressing on your shoulder with a drain and possibly a cooling unit attached. The movement, sensation and temperature of your operative arm will also be checked frequently. An X-ray of your shoulder will be done during your stay in the recovery room.
The minimum stay in a PACU is at least one hour. The length of your stay depends on many factors including the effects of anesthesia. Your physicians and nurses will evaluate your condition and determine the best time for you to be released to a hospital room. Your family will not be permitted in the PACU, but may visit when you are assigned to a hospital room.
After being transported to your room and assisted into your bed, your nurse will evaluate your condition - checking your vital signs, shoulder dressing and the movement and sensation of your hand.
Because shoulder surgery is painful, pain control is very important. For the first twenty-four hours after surgery you will receive a pain medication regularly and you may have a PCA (Patient Controlled Analgesia) pump.
The drain from your shoulder will be removed by your physician the day after surgery. The bulky dressing will then be removed and replaced with a smaller dressing. Your IV will remain in place for needed fluids, antibiotics and possible pain medication for the first 24 hours after surgery.
During your hospitalization, you are encouraged to get out of bed and move around. You may even begin to use your arm within comfortable limits, performing simple activities such as eating and grooming. Bring loose-fitting clothing with you, as this will make dressing easier.
The physical therapist will help you learn specific exercises and how to continue them after your hospital stay at home. You will also be given written instructions upon your discharge. These exercises are fairly simple and require only a short amount of time.
A successful outcome to your total shoulder joint replacement depends heavily on the meticulous performance of your exercises. Through this structured exercise program, your muscles will be methodically and progressively stretched and strengthened over one year's time. The desired effect is the optimal function of your new total shoulder replacement.
In certain situations, prolonged formal physical therapy after hospital discharge may be required. This can be done in outpatient therapy at home. Most patients, however, do not require any formal outpatient therapy.
An occupational therapist will visit you at least once before you are discharged. Your therapist will provide instruction and assistive devices to help you maintain your independence and protect your new shoulder from the wear-and-tear of daily activities.
Physical therapy is the most important component of a successful surgery. The first day after surgery, you will be beginning physical therapy (P.T.) twice each day to perform passive stretching exercises. You and your nurse will need to plan for pain medication and a heating device or ice, one-half hour before therapy, as prescribed by your doctor. This will ease pain and enable you to perform better in therapy. In addition to physical therapy sessions, you will be expected to perform several exercises on your own. Your nurses will remind you about and be available to assist you with these exercises.
At the time of your hospital discharge, sutures and staples will remain in the shoulder incision. Until the sutures and staples are removed:
Your rehabilitation will be ongoing and progressive. It may take six months to one year to achieve the optimal benefit. It is important to realize that progress is sometimes slow and not always steady. You must persevere your therapy program without getting discouraged. The physician will monitor your progress during visits at intervals of six weeks for the first four to five months, and then less frequently for one year.
Please note that any physician or dentist contemplating a future operative or invasive procedure, including dental work, must give you antibiotics preoperatively and postoperatively to prevent infection.
This includes all surgeries, minimally invasive (or "oscopy") procedures, tooth extractions and root canals. Any infection, such as a urinary tract infection, must be treated promptly with antibiotics, as bacteria can spread to the replaced joint. When receiving any medical treatment, notify the person in charge that you have had a total shoulder replacement.
During your first post-operative visit, you will be given a card, verifying that you have a joint replacement. You will need to carry this with you, especially when in public or when visiting the doctor. This may be necessary to use when passing through airport or any other security gate. The reverse side outlines the recommended antibiotic treatment for other physicians and your dentist to use.
If you are experiencing any problems or have questions and concerns, call your surgeon's office. Any symptoms, such as fever, increased drainage, redness, swelling or sudden and significant increase in pain should be reported promptly to your physician.

What's new and what's Enhanced in the Adobe Captivate 7.0.1 Update?
What's New
Whenever software is updated I know I'm always eager to learn what is new and what is improved. I imagine that is the case for many people, so in that spirit I've compiled a list of the new and improved items included in the Adobe Captivate 7.0.1 update and I've added some context to help make sense of it all.
Mobile is one of the fastest growing areas in eLearning. If you missed my eSeminar on mobile learning last week, here's a link to the Slideshare. The gist of my presentation: about half of all Continue reading…

wow $75 for a superjam featuring state fair acts.
wow $75 for a superjam featuring state fair acts.
$75 may be worth it to not have to see them at an actual state fair.
Joking aside, bigger names join the show. Last year saw an introduction by John Stamos and Craig Robinson, as well as guest appearances by Nicki Bluhm and Trombone Shorty, among others. It's just a jam set with a lot of fun stuff going on. If that's not your cup o' tea, then by all means save your money and go home early.
Ya, Death Cab was gone in under a minute. Capacity is 500, so just about 13% went to people that immediately relisted the tickets on SH. There are a few on craigslist as well.
Alright, I attempted my first clashfinder but for Sunday only as I think they are still going to add a band for Friday and Saturday. And if they don't add a band then I don't know how the times will play out for those days.
I used 2013 Sunday's time layout which I think is the most appropriate. Although there are only 4 dj acts so I gave everyone a long ass set. Thoughts?
If this is close, and I think I have the last four bands on Twin Peaks and Lands End for sure, then I'm going to get fucked out of Lykke Li show which is gonna suck.

Fri: LCD Soundsystem, M83, Underworld, the Kills, FOALS, the Last Shadow Puppets, Joey Bada$$, BORNS, Miami Horror
Sat: Guns N' Roses, Ice Cube, CHVRCHES, Courtney Barnett, Run the Jewels, the Arcs, Gary Clark Jr., Silversun Pickups, Lush, Moon Taxi, DMA's
Sun: Major Lazer, Flume, Rancid, Miike Snow, Edward Sharp, Matt & Kim, Cold War Kids, Wolf Alice, Anderson Paak, Joywave, the Heavy, Meg Myers
Main Stage Friday:
Run The Jewels, Holy Ghost, Chromeo, Disclosure & Kanye. It's gonna be good.
And Cut Copy is between Lykke Li and Tiesto on Twin Peaks Sunday.
So since last year's daily schedule was announced 7/25, I imagine this year's will be announced this week?
Unfortunately, my boyfriend and I will not be able to go to OL this year so we are selling our tickets at what we bought them for, $320 each. Please PM me if you are interested! Thanks.
Darn. Was really hoping for AM > Kanye on the main, but the looks of Sunday is making up for that.
Still don't think it's the best idea to not have Disclosure closing twin peaks.
8/8-10: Outside Lands
10/5: War On Drugs - The Fillmore
10/8: Fink - The Independent
Or, ngrim92 could be blowing smoke up our collective asses. But I'm hoping he/she isn't and I will get to see Disclosure going into Kanye.
I think we get the schedule on Thursday but maybe we get lucky and it comes a little bit sooner.

I knew Friday was going to hurt, but given that I'm seeing Arctic Monkeys at Staples, Disclosure into Kanye would be ideal for me.
I don't recall if this Official Night Show has been posted:
8/10 Deer Tick, The Districts, T.Hardy Morris & The Hardknocks @ The Rickshaw Stop
10/29 Hot Chip @ The Fox Theatre
11/07 Rufus Du Sol @ The Mezzanine (?)
11/13 Mr Little Jeans @ The Rickshaw Stop
11/20 Keep Shelly in Athens @ Awaken
So NPR has the first listen of the new Tom Petty record, and it's fucking great.

I am just having a beer and activating a starter.. I wonder what would happen if I added some beer to a starter? Well, I don't have time to experiment this weekend, just enough time to make some pizzas on Sunday.
Apart from your starter getting hammered, probably not much.
I just wanted to say thanks for that, It's rare I ever actually "laugh out loud". Priceless. This section scares the hell out of me, I should not be here browsing like this... though I know in time I'll have to be...
Norma, I have read parts of that thread awhile back. I notice you were using red wine to start your rye starter. I started my starter months ago using a bit of lemon juice. I'm curious as to continuing to feed it beer (instead of water) if it will give me a different or better crust flavor. I also noted that you made numerous different starters. Did you ever do comparison tests to see if they each gave pizza/bread a different flavor in the end product? or did they just smell different but tasted the same or similar in the end result?Thanks.

About the Author: David Huebner serves as U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand.
After spending the morning further exploring Christchurch and its environs, Secretary Clinton has just departed to continue her Asia Pacific trip. Dr. McWaine and I are standing on the tarmac with Minister Brownlee, Mayor Parker, and other dignitaries as the Secretary's plane lifts off, happy that the Secretary was able to spend three days here in New Zealand, the longest stop on her journey.
She is now on her way west to Melbourne where she will join U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and other officials for the annual AUSMIN ministerial meetings. Held regularly since 1985, AUSMIN is the principal forum for bilateral consultations between Australia and the United States.
The Secretary will then head home to Washington, with a final stop in American Samoa en route.
From all accounts the Secretary thoroughly enjoyed her time in Aotearoa. She commented frequently on the warmth and openness of our Kiwi friends. She was impressed with the natural beauty and vibrant culture of the country. And she was pleased with the steps being taken to deepen and expand what is already a deep, abiding, values-based, strategic, and mutually beneficial bilateral collaboration.
We wish the Secretary safe travels and look forward to seeing her again soon.
Ambassador Huebner's posting also appears on the U.S. Mission to New Zealand's website.Read more about the Secretary's travel to New Zealand, including her visits to Christchurch and Wellington.

Altoon Sultan was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1948. She studied painting at Brooklyn College, receiving her BFA in 1969 and her MFA in 1971. Sultan has always produced meticulously detailed pastoral landscapes. Early in her career these were painted in oil and gouache, but she has since adopted the egg tempera technique.
Between 1989 and 1992 Sultan worked at Tyler Graphics and created several series of landscape prints depicting idyllic rural scenes in both New Zealand and California. The works were all made using drypoint method on a copper plate, and several were hand coloured by the artist.

Sharing one another's experiencePosted Wednesday, February 3, 2010, at 11:14 AM
It's very interesting seeing these experiences from our own eyes, but we also get to see it from these young University of Idaho Students' eyes. These are young vet students who are here learning first hand how to birth and hopefully save at risk young calves. A lot of these kids had never seen -- let alone touched -- a large animal, such as a cow or horse. They weren't timid though, and this young girl (in particular) was as dedicated as I've seen. She stayed up all night and walked some of the fields and kept a vigilant eye on her little charges. This is the type of vet I would have faith in taking my animals to. She didn't just do what "had to be done" but wanted and did go "beyond what was necessary" There is a lot of science in what we do...believe it or not. On top of that, sometimes it's not all "Rocket Science" and you have to use your gut instincts and a bit of a "mothering hand". Some things just call for care. She has both. When ever we had something that had to be taken care of, we took it to the students/vets in the barn.
This is the little kitchen where we get our supplies.
Young student helping Wayne give colostrum.
Another calf needing sustenance.
This calf was 3 weeks premature. I put my hand on him so that you could see how tiny he is. He did not live.
This little calf is on his way out to meet a Mommy! When they are handled by humans like this, they are not afraid.
We keep a chart on what tag #, what pen they go in, what date they are born, grafted, etc...
This is Norman. He hangs out with us in the barn. He has not yet been accepted by a cow.
This calf is a twin. They don't happen very often or have as much chance of survival, so we leave the 'healthiest one' with Mom, and bring in the weaker twin to graft onto a cow.
He gets a ride in the pick up!
This is the calf I mentioned before that we saw seconds after he was born. Then we saw (from a distance) his legs thrashing wildly (not really normal) and raced across the distance to see what was wrong. The sac had been covering his face/nose/mouth and he was suffocating. Actually I thought we'd been too late. Wayne pulled off the sack quickly and held him upside down (picture a Doc doing this to a newborn baby and spanking his bottom) we tickled his nostrils with weeds, and he began to sputter a bit. With a moment or two of this type of work, he began to breath on his own. We left him with his Mom. He did live.
If we had not been there, this is what we would have seen later. This calf had the same issues, but was born in the night/dark. It happens.
I just thought I'd share a couple pics of Sam lovin' life.
This cow found the perfect spot to NOT have a calf. She is in a dip, and stuck. We rolled her over. What I couldn't get pictures of is when Wayne handed me a rope from her hind feet and had me use my horse to pull her over. I'm just not able to be that multi tasking.
This is a confused cow. Why doesn't my baby get up?
This is the same cow that had been stuck in a hole. But we've given her time to have the baby, and it's just not working. Now we intervene.
Now is the time to hit "Back" if you don't want to see graphic images!
This calf is not alive, so don't worry about him being hurt.
Wayne tried pulling, and I tried with my horse, but this calf was stuck, so we had to get 'pullers'
These are the images I hesitated to show. It seems a bit much like the 'hard cold world' but it's a fact of life. Without our intervention, this cow would also have died.
Wayne and Rolly Lisle setting up the puller.
The Calf is taken back to the barn to be examined. Blood tests and other tests will be run. And ya know, it's possible that the tests run on him, (and others) might save a human life sometime.
Mom is exhausted but we make sure she is going to get up, or we would have taken her in too. Right now, she just needs to recover.
Sometimes we change boots and jobs many times during the day.
And sometimes I can't tell you how happy I am at the end of the day. It's good that God always provides a beautiful landscape for the last thing to view.
I am grateful for my family and the life I have.
Please let me know what you think!

Posted on 01/02/2013 10:50:19 AM PST by SeekAndFind
Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez is in an induced coma being kept alive by life support following complications during cancer surgery, it was claimed today.
Sources at the hospital in Cuba where he is being treated told a Spanish newspaper he was showing 'very weak' vital signs, adding that doctors could decide to switch off the machines 'at any moment'.
With rumours swirling that Chavez had taken a turn for the worse, Venezuela's Vice President Nicolas Maduro said the ailing president's condition remains 'delicate' three weeks after his cancer surgery.
He did not provide further information about the president's condition and told Venezuelan's to ignore speculation about his health.
Many Venezuelan's have been left frustrated over the lack of information over the president's condition.
Chavez's political opponents have complained that the government hasn't told the country nearly enough and have demanded it provide the country with a full medical report.
Even some of his supporters say they wished they knew more.
In a pre-recorded interview in Havana, which was broadcast Tuesday night by the Caracas-based television network Telesur, Maduro said: 'He's totally conscious of the complexity of his post-operative state and he expressly asked us ... to keep the nation informed always, always with the truth, as hard as it may be in certain circumstances.'
Both supporters and opponents of Chavez have been on edge in the past week amid shifting signals from the government about the president's health.

There's the distinct smell of sulfur in the air......................
Around these parts we got a saying for sumbishes like this guy. It is AMF.
Aw, geez.
Hugo, say hi to Che for ... tell him Fidel will be along shortly.
Now if we could only get our politicians and celebrities to travel there for their medical treatment ...
So now what?
Wrote this yesterday about Kim Jong il:
Kim Jong il became Kim Jong dead. If he died do to a protracted $h!t-fit, so much the better. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall.
Hope Hugo and Fidel go soon and in as a distinguished a manner
Looks like el Presidente for Life won't be seeking another election
Sean Penn must be deeply saddened
RE: So now what?
I am assuming Venezuela has a Presidential succession law in place and whoever the Vice President is, takes Hugo Chavez's place. But then this is Venezuela, so... who knows what happens next?
"Chavez in a coma, I know, I know, it's serious..."
Maybe he had Benghazi information, too?
"And down! It's over. It's all over for El Presidente! "
Yet, the Hildabeast is simply intubated ~ why can't this be hugh and series?
Finally, a little good news this holiday season.
pull the plus and celebrate
throw him o the corner with the other trash
Nah. If that were the case, his mind would be Jell-O.
Sure hope he dies.
I can't bring myself to hope for someone's death... but I am going to hope for Justice in this life or the next... and hope that Venezuela has some better leaders ready to step up.
Maybe someday the people of Venezuela will be free.
Sianara Scumbag!
Lately you could say the same about America...
Don't worry they will be, after Obamacare goes into full effect all the doctors that don't consider themselves government slaves will be gone and foreign poorly educated doctors is all that will be left. It's what happened to England and Canada!
Praise the Lord. The first good news of the year. Maybe the other despots of the world will soon face the same fate — Castro, Immadinnerjacket, Kim Jung Ung, Obama . . .
Actually my prayer is that he has a near-death experience and then fully recovers for a period of time and retires. Probably would not change his politics but it would be interesting nonetheless.
RE: Maybe someday the people of Venezuela will be free.
They had their chance late last year. They voted to KEEP Hugo Chavez as President ( and it wasn't even close ).
There will be a lot of celebrating in VZ when he breathes his last. Now why can't we have some good news like this here?
Who is the next crazy to take over?
Darn that sulphur.
I would hate anything to happen to him.. would you please let me see him!!
If needed, he would probably volunteer as a pallbearer.
2013 might have some potential, after all!
Do you really think he'll pull through?
The only good Hugo Chavez will be a dead Hugo Chavez. By the end of today would be good.
Ya ever notice how much Howie looks like Nixon?
I don't believe we are to take joy in any death...but he is getting what he deserves.
... adding that doctors could decide to switch off the machines 'at any moment'.
Hugo, my man. How ya doin? Oh say, that extention cord
didn't go to anything important did it?
Sorry can't make it out.
Must not have been important...
Good luck to you guys in the Sugar Bowl tonight. Beat the crap out of Louisville.
My Tigers laid a big stinky log against Clemson. I'm starting to think Miles is in the early stages of dementia. The decisions that guy makes are mind boffling.

The WiMAX Forum has revealed that WiMAX service providers now offer networks covering more than 620 million people (or POPS) in approximately 147 countries and are on pace to surpass the already forecasted 800 million POPs by end of 2010. In addition, the WiMAX Forum expects this number to surpass one billion by the end of 2011.
By region, WiMAX Forum research uncovered the following:
- Asia Pacific leads with more than 237 million POPS and 100 network deployments.
- Central/Latin America has reached 113 million POPs and 109 deployments.
- Africa/Middle East covers more than 108 million POPs with 142 deployments.
- Europe covers 115 million people with 153 deployments.
- North American coverage has increased to 47 million POPS with 51 deployments.
"WiMAX networks continue to expand at a very healthy pace despite challenges from the slowly recovering global economy. These new deployment numbers and population statistics demonstrate that the WiMAX ecosystem has strong momentum for the start of the New Year and will continue to meet the global market demand for high-speed broadband access in developed and emerging regions," said Ron Resnick, president and chairman of the WiMAX Forum.
A main driver of WiMAX growth in 2010 will be the increase in consumer products coming to market, including tri-band smart phones and feature phones capable of global roaming. More than 178 Mobile WiMAX Certified products achieved certification in 2009 and ten products were certified in January 2010. Currently, more than 25 WiMAX Forum member companies manufacture WiMAX base stations and 45 WiMAX Forum member companies are CPE and end user device suppliers. The WiMAX Forum estimates that by 2011 there will be more than 1,000 Mobile WiMAX Forum Certified™ products commercially available.
Adoption of WiMAX in Europe continues to grow thanks to an increase in spectrum allocations made in 2009. For example, Ireland is a perfect market for WiMAX due to its low broadband penetration rate. Imagine gained access to 3.4/3.6 GHz spectrum in Q3 2009 and quickly started building a national network in Ireland. The company launched commercial services last month and has already been successful with thousands migrating to WiMAX. In Q2 2010, it will expand its offerings to deliver nomadic WiMAX services via dual mode WiMAX/HSPA dongles and embedded laptops. Imagine expects to have 60 percent of the Irish population covered by the end of 2010 and its national deployment finished in 2012.
In February 2009, the WiMAX Forum originally projected that WiMAX technology would reach 800 million POPs by the end of 2010. The increases in coverage footprints by the end of 2009 are proof that this number continues to track to meet or exceed these previous estimates. This February 2009 projection does not account for potential growth WiMAX will experience once spectrum is auctioned in India and networks are deployed in the Philippines as well as Indonesia.

Short takes for Nov. 8
Doing SW Minnesota proud
THUMBS UP: How big of a sports year has this been in the region? Not one, not two, but three high school football teams will be competing in the Minnesota State High School Football Tournament this year – Dawson-Boyd, Minneota/Lincoln HI and Tracy-Milroy-Balaton. What's more, two volleyball teams – Marshall and Minneota – will take part in the state volleyball tournament once again (they opened tournament play Thursday in St. Paul. Not only should these communities be extremely proud of their respective student-athletes, but we, as a region, should be as well. To have five sports teams within a 40-mile radius of Marshall competing at the state level at one time is unprecedented, and we wish all of the athletes and coaches the best of luck.
Now that's scary
THUMBS DOWN: It doesn't get much scarier than this on Halloween: A mother in Virginia not only allowed her child to wear a Ku Klux Klan outfit for the big night, she made it for him. Is there really a place in this country where this is the norm? We're not blind to the fact that racism still exists in parts of the country, and everyone is entitled to the freedom to wear the clothes they want, but there's something particular about this story that goes beyond disturbing and disgusting.
Headed toward $2.99?
THUMBS UP: Don't look now, but gas is on a path toward a sub-$3 price in the area. $2.99 has already shown up in the metro area, begging the question: Will it happen here? We hope so. The price for a gallon of unleaded Friday in Marshall was $3.07; it has been nearly two years since we've seen sub-$3.20 prices in this region (it was $3.17 in Slayton on Dec. 15, 2011). We don't know how low it will go in the coming weeks, and we don't know how long this will last, but at least we can enjoy it for the time being.

2016 Comic Market Terms and Conditions
The Comic Market is open to amateur 2D paper media artists only. This area is for artists who wish to sell prints, small paper media merchandise, and do on-the-spot commissions for convention attendees.
Who classifies as a registered artist in the Comic Market?
A registered artist is an individual whose name appears on the Comic Market registration form and who has fulfilled the following conditions:
- The individual has signed the Policy and Contract Agreement;
- The primary registered artist will represent at 100% of the merchandise on the table if they are registered alone, or least 50% of the merchandise on the table if they are registered with a Secondary Artist.
- Their registration has been confirmed by the Comic Market Coordinator.
Please note that tables cannot be filled by individuals whose names are not registered to the Comic Market.
Comic Market Artists must be of amateur level, meaning that:
- The artist is representing his/her individual body of work — without the use of a representative or agent — and has excluded any commercially published works or works represented by a commercial publisher;
- The artist is using the table to display his/her artwork and skills to the public as a hobby and not as a main source of income/revenue;
- The artist must be at least 14 years of age by May 27, 2016.
The Comic Market will be located next to the Dealers Room in the Toronto Congress Centre.
Table Information
Each artist may apply for one table maximum, no exceptions.
An artist table measures approximately 2' x 6' and can have a maximum of two (2) chairs.
- Table with one artist admission costs: $145.00 CAD
- Secondary Artist or Helper admission (max of 1) costs: $50.00 CAD
You may purchase your secondary artist or helper's badge through the Comic Market if he/she has not pre-registered. Please refer to Artist Helper/Secondary Artist Section for further information.
Artist badges must be visible at all times when the artist is inside the convention as per agreement with the Anime North Convention Policy. Even if the individual is cosplaying, he/she is required to follow this rule without question.
Tables may ONLY be set up by the primary artist and his/her helper/secondary artist. You may not bring in non-artists (i.e. anyone without an artist badge) to help you set up. If additional help is needed, volunteers designated by Comic Market Staff will be available during setup and tear down.
Artist Helper/Secondary Artist
The option to add an Artist Helper or a Secondary Artist to a table will be available after the Comic Market Lottery Results are posted and you are confirmed a table.
You may register a maximum of one additional name per table once you are confirmed a table in the Comic Market.
Please note that an Artist Helper or a Secondary Artist must also meet the requirements listed in Registration Requirements, and have the required information ready for submission when requested. Artist Helpers do not need to submit any artwork samples. All Secondary Artists or Artist Helpers are required to sign and submit a contract to be a valid participant in the Comic Market.
Table Cloth Rental
You are welcome to bring and use your own table cloth as Comic Market tables do not come with a table cloth.
If you require a table cloth to be provided by the Comic Market, you must pay a rental fee of $10.00 CAD during sign-in. You may collect $5.00 CAD of this fee upon returning your table cloth to the Exhibitors Information table.
If you do not return your table cloth, you will not receive $5.00 CAD back. In addition, if the table cloth is not returned in an acceptable condition (i.e. without any physical damages like tears and cuts from box cutters or scissors, or cosmetic damages like traces of permanent marker), you will be required to pay an additional $30.00 CAD in damages. This policy carries over to the plastic coverings present on the tables as well.
If the outstanding fee is not addressed in a timely manner, your application for future artist tables will be automatically denied.
Registration Requirements
Each artist who wishes to apply to the Comic Market must:
- Not be registered to a Pro Plaza table or be on the Pro Plaza waiting list.
- Not be registered as a Primary Artist in the Crafters Corner or be on the Crafters Corner waiting list.
- Not be registered to sell their work in the Dealers Room, and/or have any work or merchandise represented for sale in the Dealers Room on consignment.
- Provide links to 2 finished and signed art samples along with their lottery ticket request. No sketches or works in progress will be accepted this year. Signatures must be easy to find. If staff cannot find your signature, your application will be denied for the lottery.
- Have a website for your represented work.
- Represent his/her own body of work and not act as a proxy or representative for another artist. Presenting or using someone else's work is an act of fraud and will disqualify the prospective participant from the 2016 Comic Market.
- Represent at least 50% of the merchandise on the table.
- Supply a preliminary merchandise list.
- Have read and understood both the Anime North Convention Policy and the Comic Market Policy and Contract Agreement for 2016. Failure to do so will result in the immediate forfeiture of your table application and future applications to the artist areas.
- Have confirmed that the applicant(s) be at least 14 years of age by May 27, 2016.
- Be in possession of a Government-Issued Photo ID (e.g. health card, driver's license, passport, etc.) on May 27, 2016 for the sign-in process. Please be aware that using false identification or lending your ID to someone else during sign-in is a criminal offence. This will result in the immediate forfeiture of your table and the denial of future applications to the artist areas.
Please Be Aware: Multiple applications will result in the automatic denial of an applicant, along with any individuals with records of cheating and/or policy breaches in previous years. If reported with evidence that the artist has cheated and/or has breached any of the convention and/or Comic Market policy, you will no longer be able to apply for any of the artist tables in future years.
If you identify yourself a Trans* (i.e. transgender, intersex, genderqueer or otherwise) artist, there will be a portion on the online lottery application form so you may inform** the Comic Market Staff of any concerns regarding your legal and your gender expression names. This is NOT for artists who wish to put their nicknames on their badges; this applies ONLY for trans artists.
**N.B.: This is for legal and administrative purposes and will not affect your eligibility to the Comic Market.

To submit a lottery ticket request, an online form will be posted at the top of this page for the applicant to fill out on Friday, March 4, 2016, 11:59 PM EST until Saturday, March 5, 2016, 11:59 PM EST.

If your display falls or harms another participant or attendee, you will be asked to take the display down immediately.
Tables and chairs supplied to participants by the venue cannot be used as ladders or supports for displays. The participant confirms that the convention and venue will not be liable for any injuries sustained by the aforementioned activity before, during, and after the convention as proven by the participant's initial and signautre on this contract.

Adult Material
Display of Adult Material
Artists may NOT display material depicting nudity or sexual conduct unless it is covered or displayed in such a way that minors cannot view explicit material. Adult material must not be accessible to minors in any way. No adult material may be sold, given, or distributed to a minor. The acceptability of adult material displays is at the sole discretion of the Comic Market Coordinator. Display content (such as images and signage) must not be derogatory in nature (i.e. racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise offensive to the general public).
This rule applies to all artwork on display at your table. Thus, you may NOT display any commission work that violates the above restrictions.
Approval of Adult Material
If you are selling any work in this category, you are required to bring a display copy of your work to the Comic Market Staff information table where your work will be stamped with a rating of 18+ or PG13.
- If your work received an 18+ rating, it cannot be openly displayed on the table or be within the reach of minors. Such works can only be viewed by individuals over the age of 18 upon presentation of a valid photo ID. Please note that showing and/or selling items which contain adult content to minors is punishable by law.
- If your work received a PG13 rating, you may openly display it on your table.
The stamp allows security and convention attendees to know that your work has been approved for display by the Comic Market Coordinator. Please make use of this procedure to avoid problems during the convention as failing to do so may result in the loss of your table.
Protection of Valuables
Artists are responsible for their own property, merchandise, and money. Under no circumstances will either Anime North or its agents be held liable for loss or damages including but not limited to merchandise, equipment, or revenue.
The Toronto Congress Centre will be locked down at the end of every night; however, it is still the responsibility of the artists to look after and ensure safe storage of their personal property.
All participants MUST obey both the Anime North Convention Policy and Comic Market Policy and Agreement Contract for 2016. Blocking hallways, aisles, and fire exits will not be tolerated. Any behaviour that disrupts the convention or the premises, or is considered by Anime North as damaging to individuals, property, or the reputation of the convention will result in immediate loss of any Comic Market privileges, loss of membership, and expulsion from the convention. If you have any concerns during the convention, please bring them to the attention of the Comic Market Staff.
Please note that Anime North reserves the right to revoke or deny the application of individuals with records of serious offenses in any of our artist areas from previous years.
Failure to abide by the following rules may result in the loss of your table without refund.
Behaviour not acceptable in the Comic Market includes (but is not limited to):
- Selling a table to another individual;
- Taking chairs from other artists;
- Sitting and/or selling behind tables not assigned to you;
- Allowing someone not registered to the Comic Market to sell at your table. Doing so is a breach of contract. The tables are only rented to the artists who have specifically registered for the area and signed the Comic Market Policy and Contract Agreement for 2016;
- Selling your convention badge to another individual along with the table rented to your name;
- Lending your convention badge to another individual not registered to your table;
- Lewd behaviour, intimate displays of affection, and touching inappropriate for a family atmosphere will not be tolerated in the Comic Market;
- Failing to follow the rules noted in the Anime North Convention Policy;
- Harassment of Comic Market Staff, Anime North Staff, Anime North Volunteers or other participants (e.g. disrespecting the staff's authority, inappropriate language and/or behaviour, etc.);
- Applying for or signing in for a Comic Market space under a name not your own;
- Posing as a registered artist by use of their identification with or without their permission. This is a case of identity fraud and/or theft, and is punishable by law;
- Offensive emails to Anime North Staff members, mass trolling (continuous posts of offensive messages) directed to Anime North staff members in electronic forums.
Reservations for Comic Market tables are allocated at the sole discretion of the Anime North Comic Market Team. Anime North is in no way obligated to provide tables to any person, persons, or group, and reserves the right to decline applications from any person, persons, or group which have violated the Code of Conduct specified above.
All complaints, conflicts, or discrepancies concerning the Comic Market Staff and/or another Artist should be directed to, and only to, the Comic Market Coordinator.

Oregano's Pizza Bistro
Waiting lists and perpetual crowds, that's business as usual for this local chain, which specializes in Chicago-style, deep-dish or thin-crust pizza. Our favorite? The Cajun chicken pesto. But the menu offers so much more. There are a slew of appetizers (including toasted ravioli, bruschetta and wings three ways) as well as monstrous sandwiches filled with sausage and peppers or Italian beef.
Classic pasta dishes (universally given goofy names) are another mainstay, but next to those popular pies (some classic, others out there), the second most famous thing is surely the pizza cookie.
