Douglas Evans
ISHPEMING, Mich. – Douglas Evans, age 90, longtime Negaunee and Ishpeming resident passed away on Sunday, January 13, 2013 at the Marquette County Medical Care facility in Ishpeming where he had resided since May of 2011.
Douglas was born April 18, 1922, in St. Austell, England the son of the late Percival C. and Elsie Evans. The family immigrated to America when Doug was a child, finding work in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Douglas became a United States citizen and graduated from the Negaunee High School in 1941. He then attended Northern Michigan University in the Carpentry and Pattern Design program.
Douglas went on to serve in the United States Navy during World War II in the Asiatic Pacific as a gunner aboard the destroyer USS Hadley. Doug returned to this area following the War and worked at the Tracy Mine in Negaunee for some years prior to moving to the Detroit area for work as a fireman. He again returned in the mid 50s this time finding work at the K.I. Sawyer Air Base as a civil servant fire inspector. He worked his way up to Assistant Chief of Technical Services retiring in 1985.
Douglas was a member of the Bethel Lutheran Church. He was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting, especially deer season, fishing, mainly for steelhead. Summers spent at camp of Arflin Lake, playing baseball and softball, throwing horseshoes along with watching the Tigers or the Lions were all pastimes of Doug's. During his retirement years he wintered in Bonita Springs, FL.
Douglas is survived by three sons Dennis (Joyce) Evans of Ishpeming, Don (Linda) Evans of Tomahawk, WI and Gary (Claudette) Evans of Negaunee, a son-in-law Ken Nelson of Ishpeming, a sister Barbara (Edward) Wheeler of Negaunee, 14 grandchildren, along with numerous great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his first wife Dorothy, his second wife Gail, a daughter Kay Nelson and a brother Percy Evans.
Funeral services will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 17, 2013 at the Bethel Lutheran Church with the Rev. Lauri O. Maki to officiate with Military Honors to be accorded by the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter #380. Interment will take place at the Negaunee Cemetery. The family will greet relatives and friends from 1:00 3:00 p.m. on Thursday at the Bethel Lutheran Church.
Pallbearers will be Doug's grandsons.
Doug's obituary may also be viewed at www.bjorkandzhulkie.com where relatives and friends may leave a note of remembrance.

FO' with the FOES: SACTO KINGS
12/30/09 10:49 am EST
This edition of "Fo' with the Foes" — Philadunkia's advanced scouting series which with the help of an accomplished journalist from around the NBA beat or blog world, previews upcoming 76ers opponents — features tonight's opponent the Sacramento Kings (14-16) who are the Sixers foes on game three of the current six game road trip.
We expect a high scoring affair tonight as Sacto is giving up 105 ppg. on the season which ranks them 26th in the League, while the 76ers are allowing over 101 ppg., which ranks Philadunkia's home team 19th in the NBA. The biggest question for us regarding tonight's game is who on the Sixers will attempt to guard Philly native Tyreke Evans. If Eddie Jordan asks Louis Williams or Allen Iverson to guard Sacto's outstanding rookie (20, 5 & 4 per night), Evans will hang a 50-spot on the Sixers. Louis and Iverson are simply too small to guard the 6-6, 220 pound Evans. Additionally, both are terrible on-ball defenders. We'd like to see the major task of guarding Evans fall to either Andre Iguodala or fellow rookie Jrue Holiday. Obviously AI9 and Holiday have the size to better match-up with Evans, but more importantly, both are outstanding perimeter defenders and we believe their defensive skills may be able to slow Evans down some.

Turkey Robinson
- 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- 1 (5-ounce) bag triple washed spinach
- 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained
- Brown rice or pasta, for serving
Heat the oil in a large skillet over moderately-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the ground turkey and, using a wooden spoon, break up the clumps and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the stock and scrape up any bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring up to a boil, and then let simmer until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cannellini beans and heat through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over brown rice or your favorite pasta.
BYOC: Try adding some red pepper flakes to the turkey for a little spice and finely grate some Parmesan cheese to serve.

In most industries, and especially in IT, sales are expected to peak twice a year during the back-to-school and Christmas seasons when many people go shopping to buy stuff for their children or relations. The manufacturers, on their part, try to prepare their most exciting and innovative solutions right in time for these period of high demand. This is why the beginning of 2011 in the graphics card market may look somewhat odd as AMD and Nvidia were both unveiling new products in every price segment. This unusual behavior is due to the fierce competition which doesn't let the GPU developers take a break.
The California-headquartered Nvidia has recently released the most affordable solution in its newest 500 series of graphics cards. It is called GeForce GTX 560 Titanium (or just Ti; you may remember that Nvidia used this abbreviation back in the times of CRT monitors and AGP graphics cards). Coming at a recommended price of $250, the new card is about 30% faster overall than the previous-generation products from the same price category.
However, the GPU developers themselves have repeatedly emphasized the fact that they earn most of their money by selling products which cost less than $200, which means that Nvidia needed another solution to replace the outdated GeForce GTS 450. The company did announce this replacement a couple of weeks ago, so today we are going to take a look at the new GeForce GTX 550 Ti graphics card.
GeForce GTX 550 Ti: Positioning and Specifications
Having made a big step forward with its newest top-end solutions in terms of technologies, Nvidia refrains from introducing anything particularly new into the midrange segment with the GeForce GTX 550 Ti.
The table above indicates that the new card is largely a product of marketing decision-making rather than an implementation of a new technology for affordable graphics solutions. The new GF114 is just bigger than the old GF106 in a most brutal and unsophisticated way. The most significant difference is the use of a 192-bit memory bus instead of the GeForce GTS 450's 128-bit one, which boosts the peak memory bandwidth by 70%.
The number of stream processors has remained the same at 192 but they are clocked now at 900 MHz. This cannot have as high an effect on the card's resulting performance as what we can expect from the six extra raster operators, though.
While the improvements are obvious, the new GeForce GTX 500 series product doesn't look any better than the highly successful GeForce GTX 460 768MB, let alone the latter's elder cousin.

China dominates as team table tennis begin
BEIJING (AP) Facing immense expectations in their national sport, the Chinese dominated the start of Olympic team table tennis Wednesday with the women beating Croatia 3-0.
And when the home players were down - which wasn't often - a roaring crowd was there to help pull them through.
The best-of-five format includes four singles games with a doubles game in the middle. The top-ranked hosts gave up only one game, in a matchup between Wang Nan and Andrea Bakula, which Wang won 10-12, 11-5, 11-4, 11-9.
"The first game and the finals are more difficult for every athlete at the Olympics. So we're really used to it," said Wang, a gold medalist in women's doubles at Athens and Sydney.
The group matches in the team event were not expected to be a difficult for the Chinese women, who were grouped with Croatia, Austria and the Dominican Republic.
"I played many good matches last year, year and a half, against the Chinese," Bakula said. "I always win one set. Always play one or two more close. But, in the end, you know they are tough in the head and it's quite difficult with them."
When Wang fell behind 4-0 in her first game, the crowd chanted "Wang Nan Jia You!" or "Go Wang Nan!" until she scored the next point. The fans cheered every time China scored and screamed in approval at the end of every game.
The mostly Chinese crowd applauded for exciting rallies on any of the eight tables where games were played simultaneously. At one point, the crowd shouted "Waah!" repeatedly as Japan's Jun Mizutani and Nigeria's Segun Toriola traded long looping shots while standing 10 feet from the table.
The Chinese men's team plays Greece in the afternoon.

Check with your warehouse clubs or even online for Pizzaiolo in a #10 can. You do not have to do anything to this pizza sauce and it is always fantastic too. I can buy a #10 can of Pizzaiolo at Costco Business Center for $4.49 a can and sometimes even lower depending on the market price. So many Pizzerias use this sauce as well. Many use it straight out of the can and other pizzerias like to play with it some to make it their signature sauce. Either way, you won't be disappointed.

Sentencing set in utility theft case
By LISA M. REED
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – Sentencing has been set for an Iron Mountain man accused of cutting a We Energies lock and wire to obtain electric service.
Peter V. Colburn, 32, pleaded guilty to malicious destruction of utility property and attempted carrying a concealed weapon and being a habitual offender, second.
Sentencing is set for April 15 at 9 a.m. before Dickinson County Circuit Court Judge Richard Celello.
The charges, according to the felony complaint, stem from an incident between July 11 and Aug. 21 of last year when Colburn was living in a trailer with his girlfriend, and the electricity had been shut off due to non-payment of the bill to We Energies. Inspection by a We Energies employee indicated the lock placed on the meter had been cut, and wires were altered to allow power to flow to the trailer without being detected.
For the weapon charge, the Iron Mountain man was arrested on an outstanding warrant on Sept. 27. According to the complaint, officers located a knife with a double-sided blade in his front pants pocket.
Colburn was previously convicted of unarmed burglary of unoccupied structure and grand theft of a motor vehicle in Bartow, Fla. on Jan. 23, 2009.

Start with two Original Gobrecht dollars, add three ultra-rare restrikes from the middle of the century and end the set with the "common" 1857. Common? That's written in jest, of course, as there were only 50 pieces struck in the Proof format in 1857. Classic coins abound in this series, and while a Gem-quality set can't be put together for any price, you'll find these big coins are as beautiful as they are challenging once you get involved.

Thursday, March 21, 2013 - Text by Gayle Alleyne | Badmintonphoto
Emma Mason is the new Chair of the Badminton World Federation (BWF) Athletes' Commission.
The now-retired Scottish international was recently selected by fellow Commission members to lead the players' organisation and she is therefore the first memberof what will be the new BWF Council; the rest of which will be elected at the BWF Annual General Meeting in Malaysia in May.
The 26-year-old, who was previously Vice Chair of the Commission, will now have newly-elected Commission member, Hans-Kristian Vittinghus of Denmark (right), as her deputy. There are four other members of the Commission which was established in 2008 to represent the views of athletes within the BWF Council.
They are: Rodrigo Pacheco (Peru); Lee Yong Dae (Korea); Greysia Polii (Indonesia) and Yuhan Tan (Belgium). Pedro Yang (Guatemala) is a member of the IOC Athletes' Commission and therefore an ex-officio member of the BWF Athletes' Commission.
In her new duties as Chair, Mason will be a full voting member of the BWF Council and has the responsibility to advise Council on matters relevant to athletes. In a recent interview on her contribution and commitment to the Athletes' Commission, she gave an insight into the organisation's role.
"We help players, who are our friends and colleagues, ensuring that the athletes' voices are heard. We hope to aid players by providing a pathway for them to communicate their issues and aim to improve the sport for them where possible," she explained (Badzine interview).
Mason, who is halfway through her four-year term on the Commission, will serve two years as Chair until her term ends in 2015.
To contact the BWF Athletes' Commission, please note the following information:
Emma Mason (Chair): email@example.com
Hans-Kristian Vittinghus (Vice Chair): firstname.lastname@example.com

Youth safety is the number one concern of the Boy Scouts of America. The BSA places the greatest importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our youth members. To maintain such an environment, the BSA developed numerous procedural and leadership selection policies and provides parents and leaders with resources for the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing programs.
New leaders are required to take Youth Protection Training before they submit their application for registration. The certificate of completion for this training must be submitted at the time application is made and before volunteer service with youth begins. Youth Protection Training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer's Youth Protection Training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.
What These Requirements Mean For Your Unit
Registered leaders are adults who have submitted an adult leader application and hold any position in Scouting, including district and council positions.
In order for a new adult to be registered, they must submit a certificate of completion along with an adult leader application.
Leaders changing positions within Scouting do not need to submit a certificate as long as their records show current trained status (within the last 2 years).
If a leaders registration does not show current trained status, the registration will be dropped when the unit recharters. This could put the unit at risk of dropping if the registered leader is a required position.
How to Get Trained
The easiest and fastest way to take Youth Protection Training is online. This training takes about 45 minutes. If you have already taken Youth Protection Training online, you will want to make sure your MyScouting account is linked to your membership ID in order to update the council's registration records. Click here for instructions to link your MyScouting account to your membership ID.

Best Chocolate

Also available here in Norway, but very expensive.
Pretty darned good, and what a price!
Posted by Reviewer2746709 on Mar 14, 2012
Best price I have seen (except occasionally on sale) for any organic bar 80% or more. There are high end connoisseur bars with more subtlety, etc. to be found elsewhere for beaucoup bucks, but I let others buy me those as gifts...! Of what Iherb sells, I might slightly prefer the Equal Exchange Panama 80% (it's probably the higher sugar content), but I far prefer this price! Go Vivani!
good value, good taste

Great price for an organic product with high cocoa content. will buy again. Good taste.

It might be just this batch, but this was kind of dry, and sort of flavourless.
Posted by greenisthenewblack on Aug 07, 2011
I did not care for this chocolate, it wasn't rich at all, it just didn't taste that much. It might just be me not liking chocolate based on cocoa liquor that much, but I will not repurchase.

I am addicted to Vivani 85%. It has the best taste of the 85% chocolate bars & the wonderful added bonus of less carbs & sugar.

Employment Insurance Act
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Dick Harris Cariboo—Prince George, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-316, An Act to amend the Employment Insurance Act (incarceration).
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for Barrie for his support and seconding this bill, my Ottawa staff for help they provided in putting this together and my wife, Annie, for the support she gives me and, indeed, on this private member's bill.
I believe that most Canadians, maybe as high as 99%, maybe a vast majority of members of Parliament and maybe yourself, Mr. Speaker, do not know that going to prison could allow someone to double the amount of time they can apply for and receive in employment insurance benefits. Sections 8 and 10 of the Employment Insurance Act currently allow for prisoners to receive the same level of opportunity as hard-working Canadians who are in need of employment insurance. My bill would repeal those provisions in the Employment Insurance Act so prisoners would no longer be able to apply for an extension to their employment insurance benefits simply because they were in jail.
Why should criminals receive the same level of treatment as hard-working Canadians who are pregnant, or suffer illnesses or injuries? As an example, a mother in Quebec was denied employment insurance after her place of employment went out of business because she had just returned from maternity leave and had not worked enough hours in the previous year. If she had been in prison, however, instead of on maternity leave, she would have been able to receive the extended benefit. This is crazy.
Thus, quite simply, the bill would change the EI Act so that those who serving time for crime no longer would be able to receive preferential treatment over hard-working Canadians, who deserve and need this kind of help. This bill is all about fairness for hard-working Canadians.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Income Tax Act
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Russ Hiebert South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-317, An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (labour organizations).
Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to introduce a bill to amend the Income Tax Act for labour organizations. I would like to thank the member for New Brunswick Southwest for seconding the bill.
Labour organizations play a valuable role in Canadian society, representing and defending the rights of workers to health and safety on the job and ensuring good compensation for the work that they do.
The bill would require a public disclosure of the finances of labour unions. This is in line with the increased transparency we have introduced for government departments, agencies and native reserves. Public disclosure is strongly supported by the Canadian public and even more so by union members themselves.
The basic premise of the bill is that every labour union in Canada would file a standard set of financials, which would then be publicly posted on the CRA website, much like charities already are required to do. The public would be empowered to gauge the effectiveness, financial integrity and the health of any union. Using electronic filing, the expense incurred by unions and by the federal government should be negligible.

Aboriginal Affairs
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present.
The first petition is to do with the Stolen Sisters. The petitioners indicate that the Native Women's Association of Canada, through its Sisters in Spirit campaign, has identified 520 missing and murdered aboriginal women, whose cases go back to the 1970s.
The petitioners call upon the Parliament of Canada to ensure that the Native Women's Association receives sufficient funding to continue its important work of protecting women through its Sister in Spirit initiative and to invest in initiatives recommended by NWAC to help prevent more women from disappearing.
Child Care
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, in the second petition, the petitioners indicate that child care is not accessible or affordable for Canadian families and is often of uncertain quality for young children. They state that child care creates jobs, makes Canada more competitive, helps achieve women's equality, builds local economies and is a recognized human right.
The petitioners call upon the House of Commons to legislate the right to universal access to child care and to provide multi-year funding to provincial and territorial governments to build a national system of affordable, high quality, public and not-for-profit early childhood education and care accessible to all children. They say that the federal government must establish spending criteria and reporting mechanisms that ensure accountability to how the provinces and territories use federal funding to ensure quality, accessibility, universality and accountability and that acknowledge Quebec's right to develop social programs with adequate compensation from the federal government.
The Environment
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
David Tilson Dufferin—Caledon, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have a petition from a number of citizens of Canada who are opposed to the proposed megaquarry in Melancthon township in Dufferin country in Ontario, which will be the largest open-pit quarry in Canada at over 2,300 acres.
The petitioners are specifically concerned that this megaquarry will threaten freshwater fish species, particularly in the Pine river, and will further harm freshwater fish species and the regeneration, affecting Georgian Bay and Lake Huron.
The petitioners ask that the Government of Canada conduct an environmental assessment under the authority of the Canadian Environmental Act on the proposed Highland Companies' megaquarry development.

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present two petitions on behalf of my constituents.
In the first petition, the petitioners ask the government to fix Canada's Access to Medicine Regime so that low-cost generic drugs can start flowing to developing countries. They say that 2.9 million people across the world died as a result of AIDS this year alone.
The petitioners call on the government to increase funding to fight HIV-AIDS globally and to support the creation of an international women's agency at the UN.

Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to present a number of petitions today from people in my riding of Hamilton Mountain, all of which address the urgent need for a national pharmacare program in our country.
The petitioners point out that our goal ought to be to have a national drug plan that would enable all Canadians to enjoy equitable access to medicines while, at the same time, controlling the rising cost of drugs.
They are keenly aware of a report released by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, which concluded that the existing patchwork of private and public plans in Canada is inequitable, inefficient and costly. The report found that Canada was the third most expensive country for brand-name drugs because it deliberately inflates drug prices in order to attract pharmaceutical investments.
Instead of tackling the issue head on, the government is talking about privatization and user fees. Those are hardly the answers for an aging population that is already finding it difficult to make ends meet and whose retirement savings are again put at risk by yet another economic downturn.
The request by petitioners is as straightforward as it is urgent. They simply want the government to acknowledge that there is a sound economic case to be made for universal public medicare and then to get on with the job of developing and implementing a national pharmacare program.
While I know that the rules of the House do not allow me to endorse a petition, I will conclude by commending the Congress of Union Retirees of Canada for their timely leadership on this important issue.

Pat Martin Winnipeg Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am proud today to introduce a petition signed by literally thousands of Canadians from all across Canada who call upon Parliament to take note that asbestos is the greatest industrial killer that the world has ever known.
The petitioners point out that more Canadians now die from asbestos than all other industrial or occupational causes combined and yet Canada is still one of the largest producers and exporters of asbestos, dumping nearly 200,000 tonnes of this product per year into underdeveloped and third world countries. They also point out that Canada spends millions of dollars subsidizing the asbestos industry and blocking international efforts to curb its use.
Therefore, the petitioners call upon Parliament to ban asbestos in all of its forms and introduce a just transition program for asbestos workers and the communities in which they live. They call upon the government to end all subsidies of asbestos both in Canada and abroad and to stop blocking international health and safety conventions designed to protect workers from asbestos, such as the Rotterdam Convention.

VIEW VIDEO | Full TextAbout the Authors: Lynn Butler and Kari Jaksa, summer interns at the U.S. Department of State, report on their experiences during the ministerial events of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Forum.
Most articles you will read concerning the Seventh AGOA Forum will be filled with facts and figures. As interns in the Bureau of African Affairs and volunteers at the forum, we had the opportunity to see a more human side of US-Africa trade relations.
For those of you new to the acronym "AGOA," it is the African Growth and Opportunity Act, and is a piece of legislation that eliminates trade barriers between the United States and qualifying African nations. To qualify, one must meet standards of democratization and good governance. Currently, 41 African nations receive AGOA benefits.
The annual forum, held this year in Washington, D.C., focused on mobilizing private investment, and was attended by delegations from each qualifying nation as well as representatives from the civil society and the private sector.
Our jobs were to escort dignitaries and ensure that the forum ran smoothly. We also helped to assist the press and document the activities of the day. We seemed to impress many African delegations with our language skills, both breaking into Swahili and French throughout the day as we mixed and mingled with the guests. Though the masses of dark business suits could sometimes appear intimidating, African delegates broke into huge smiles after hearing a familiar language. Our new friends were eager to take pictures and swap business cards during the breaks between sessions. We were just as pleased to meet them and to hear their opinions on topics that we had studied. Just as exciting was the chance to see Secretary of State Rice speak in person for the first time, especially because it was a topic in which we were so invested.
Though the plenary and breakout sessions discussed many crucial issues facing Africa today, it was during the recesses that some of the most significant interactions took place. From these friendly exchanges, true diplomatic relations emerged. Overall, the forum seemed to be successful, and for these two "summer associates" it was an exciting experience and an invaluable lesson in international relations.
Jenna in U.S.A. writes:
Thank you for the full text, and educating me more in depth on the issues Africa faces today.
Joe in Tennessee writes:
The continued interest and developments in Africa which promote unity, economic and otherwise is may well be past due; but, is more than admirable.
The feeling of development on a National and International level is one of the levers which seem intangible at conception, but will provide stability on a more even platform for all concerned.
Even the situation in Zimbabwe has had a marked turn, hopefully with sincerity from both sides and it is because of International concerns and a better African Unity. They are realizing they are one county with common denominators and goals. Zimbabwe is one of the largest platinum mining countries in the world and should not be in the position it is fiscally, much less politically.

(long message alert, sorry 'bout that)
I have been doing a lot of testing with a Duet Master system, which is a blender of
saddle pickup and microphone and determined that when the invert button is up
that the master's output on XLR is 180 degrees out of phase with the saddle pickup input.
As a side note the phase of the saddle pickup input and the mic pickup input are also 180 degrees
out of phase which I expected because electret condenser mics signals are 180 degrees out of
phase with the sound wave coming in from the front. (If they are wired common source)
If this makes sense to you then here's my question:
Do saddle pickups produce a signal that is opposite the motion of the guitar top (assuming that
when the top moves forward it produces a positive pressure and a microphone picking that up
would produce a positive voltage)
So that as the top is moving forward/positive the saddle pickup's signal is moving negative
and thus the Duet Master inverts the signal of the pickup.
I am thinking that compression of the saddle pickup causes a positive voltage, meanwhile
the string is compressing the saddle it is pushing the top backwards.
And the reason I'm doing all this testing is that I am trying to come up with a blender for my
mandolin and want the signal from the pickup in phase with the signal from the microphone.
Whew! Thanks for reading this far.

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
Animal health and public health: other products of animal origin
The European Union provides a clear health framework governing the trade in and imports of certain animal products to ensure the protection of human and animal health whilst complying with internal market rules.
Council Directive 92/118/EEC of 17 December 1992 laying down animal health and public health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of products not subject to the said requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to Directive 90/425/EEC [see amending acts].
The Directive and its amending legislation cover certain products of animal origin, in particular animal casings intended for human consumption, processed animal proteins intended for human consumption, blood and blood products from hoofed animals and poultry, and poultry meat and farmed game meat. In general, this legislation relates to products of animal origin that do not fall into the following categories:
- domestic animals of the bovine, porcine, ovine, equine and caprine species, together with products obtained from their meat;
- egg products;
- aquaculture animals (live fish, crustaceans and molluscs from a farm) and derived products; fisheries products (all seawater or freshwater animals or parts thereof, including their roes, excluding aquatic mammals, frogs and certain other aquatic animals);
- milk and milk-based products.
Trade in or imports of any new product of animal origin must be authorised by the Council, following assessment by the Commission and, if appropriate, an opinion from the European Food Safety Authority. This assessment evaluates the risk of the spread of serious transmissible diseases, not only for the species from which the product originates but also for other species which could carry the disease or become a focus of disease or a risk to human health.
The products of animal origin should not originate from any holding situated in a zone subject to restrictions because of the occurrence of a disease to which the species from which the product is derived is susceptible. Nor should they originate from any establishment or zone from which movements or trade would constitute a risk to the animal health status of the Member States, except where products are treated to eliminate this risk in accordance with Community legislation.
The products in question should come from establishments registered with the competent authority in their State. These establishments should ensure that the rules for product surveillance and monitoring are respected, particularly in terms of taking and analysing samples, and informing the competent authority. They should also provide the products with certificates specifying the nature of the product, its name and, if appropriate, the veterinary approval number of the production establishment.
The rules on checks laid down by Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogenic agents, by Directive 90/425/EEC apply especially as regards the organisation of and follow-up to the checks.
The products referred to in this Directive may be imported into the European Union (EU) only if they satisfy the following requirements:
- They must come from a third country or part of a third country on a list drawn up and updated according to the health status of the region in question and whether that country abides by health rules equivalent to those in force in the EU.
- They must come from listed establishments for which the competent authority of the third country has provided the Commission with guarantees that they meet health requirements equivalent to those in force in the EU.
- In certain specific cases, they must be accompanied by an animal health or public health certificate corresponding to a model, which certifies that the products meet the additional conditions or offer the required equivalent guarantees and come from establishments offering such guarantees.
Moreover, specific conditions may be imposed, especially in order to protect the EU from certain exotic diseases and diseases transmissible to man. These decisions may be adopted on the basis of an evaluation and, if appropriate, the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, of the risk of the spread of serious transmissible diseases for species from which the product originates or for other species.
Experts from the Commission and the Member States may carry out inspections in third countries to verify whether the guarantees given by the third country regarding the conditions of production and placing on the market can be considered equivalent to those applied in the EU.
With the entry into force of the hygiene package in 2004, the specific public health requirements set out in Annex II to this Directive are now governed, according to context, by Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 or Directive 2002/99/EC.

Physician voices concern over VDMC?changes
The Van Diest Medical Center board of trustees Tuesday night heard from a local physician who voiced his concerns with what he termed as "dramatic changes in hospital administration and management style."
Dr. Subhash Sahai of Webster City Medical Clinic, gave a copy his statement to the board members and also read the document aloud to those present. Even though Sahai was not listed on the agenda, he was granted permission to read his statement.
Sahai said he was speaking from his own point of view and not in his capacity as Chief of Staff for the hospital.
"The Webster City Medical Clinic physicians have collectively served Hamilton County Hospital/Van Diest Medical Center for over 75 years. We believe that this has been a mutually beneficial relationship for us and the hospital," he said. "Most importantly, this relationship has allowed us to provide high quality care to our patients using hospital services."
Sahai stated that he felt the relationship had "deteriorated" over several months. He specifically criticized the discontinued use of IV cardiac medications, procedures which he said had been performed "successfully for many years." He said the then acting chief executive officer Bob Mason, who was later hired on a permanent basis, had made the decision and presented it to hospital personnel "without prior consultation with medical staff." He added that the treating physicians had no knowledge of the decision until treatment was denied by the staff.
Board of Trustees Chairman Carroll Ose said after the meeting that the board had responded to Sahai's concerns about the IV cardiac treatments and that staff was working to build special care unit at VDMC.
"That's on track to open June 30 and there have been regular updates given to the medical staff," Ose said. He added a timeline for the project was presented last fall, which outlined all of the steps required to get the unit up and running. Updates were also presented at several trustee meetings.
Sahai said in his letter that that a temporary arrangement in the meantime never materialized.
Sahai also cited concerns about the possible construction of a medical office building near the hospital.
"We are concerned about the financial viability of the hospital," the physician said. Later in the meeting, the board voted to move ahead with a feasibility study which would look at the possible opening of a medical office building near the hospital.
In his letter, Sahai went on to say the "new management seems determined to transfer as many services to Mercy (Network)?as it can without prior communication with or prior approval of the medical staff or the board of trustees."
Ose denied that the medical staff had been left out of the loop on decisions and have been part of the discussion.
The board approved a new management agreement with Mercy Network last fall which calls for the CEO?to be an employee of Mercy. At that time, former CEO?Palmer Schneider declined to continue on in the position, and Mason was brought on board as the acting CEO.
At the close of the meeting, Ose made the following comment:
"Everybody here should be well aware of this. It wasn't our choice to be dropped down to four (board)?members instead of seven. We're going to try to do our due diligence to get people in place to make sound and good decisions for the hospital, community and county."
The board has experienced some turmoil in recent weeks as three board members – Don Bottorff, John Hemingway and Stephen Mourlam – resigned following the CEO?interview process and the hiring of Mason. Board members Myra Maxon and Henry Witt are serving as the nominating committee that will seek out potential new board members. Witt said any interested parties should call Mason or Lori Foster at the hospital, 832-9400.
The new board members will be appointed to serve until the next general election.
In other business, Mason reported that the agreement with the Dayton Clinic was finalized.
"We have finalized our agreement between the owner of the clinic and Van Diest Medical Center. It was reviewed by the executive committee,"?he said. "
Dayton Mayor Richard Travis, who was present at the meeting, said "We are all anxious and ready to go."
Mason said the agreement was reviewed by the hospital's legal counsel and also by the Dayton city attorney.
Consulting medical staff privileges were approved for Kyle R. Versteeg II, M.D., a board certified plastic surgeon and wound specialist, and for Matthew C. Biggerstaff, D.O., certified in anesthesiology and pain management. Privileges were also granted to Andrew Obamwonyi, M.D., and occupational medicine and ER?physician; and Mark Miner, D.O., a contract ER?physician.

From your first semester in college, your goal should be to obtain an internship each summer. Why? Because internship programs feed full-time hiring!
What is the purpose of internship programs, according to employers?
Among employers responding to NACE's 2010 Internship Survey, 83.4 percent say internship programs are designed to help the organization recruit entry-level college hires. Around one-third (31.1 percent) say the programs are there to help students gain experience, and just under 20 percent report offering internships as a way to build relationships with key schools. (Note: Respondents were able to offer multiple answers.
Running counter to recent reports in the national media, most respondents say they pay their interns. On average, 98.6 percent of respondents' interns are paid. In fact, more than 90 percent of responding employers reported they pay all their interns.
Overall, the average hourly wage for an intern at the bachelor's degree level is $17. That rate fluctuates, however, depending on the student's year of study and major, and depending on the employer's industry.
The survey also found a correlation between doing an internship—either with the full-time employing organization or elsewhere—and staying on the job. At the one-year mark, approximately 86 percent of those who had interned with the organization—and 85 percent of those who had interned elsewhere—were still with the organization, compared to 81 percent who hadn't served an internship. At the five-year mark, approximately 64 percent of those who had served an internship—either at the employing organization or elsewhere—were still on the job, compared with 57 percent of their colleagues who had not served internships.
NACE conducted its 2010 Internship Survey from January 11 – March 5, 2010. A total of 235 organizations (26.6 percent) responded. The survey report will be available later this spring.
Explore the Right Type of Internship
- Assess what skills you have to offer a potential employer
- Determine what fields interest you
- What do you hope to gain from this internship?
- What kind of company/organization do you want to work for?
- Determine what tasks you would like as part of your work

If you are visiting the Cozumel area you have to go on a Mayan Paradise Tour. Our Snuba and snorkelling adventure was the highlight of our week in Cozumel. We saw more fish and beautiful coral then we saw on our visit to the Great Barrier Reef. Our guides were terrific - very thorough, fun and energetic. Our trip back to the dock was a blast. We recommend this dventure to anyone vacationing the Cozumel area.
Bryan and Jennifer ~ Ontario Canada
Thanks so much for the photos of our snuba experience. What a great time. You and the crew were wonderful. Thank you for everything. You explained everything and answered all our questions and concerns, and an awesome time was had by all. You were all very knowledgable in all aspects of our snuba experience. We had a great time and are still talking about it! Thanks again.
D. Fellin ~ Waupun, WI
Snuba in Cozumel is a * * * * * experience. There is so much more to Mexico than beaches and cocktails, and snuba is one great water activity to try out. Better than snorkeling, (better than chocolate too), and very easy, especially for those who are a bit intimidated by the scuba diving equipment and training involved, snuba is a great way to see the marine life close-up.
The guys at Mayan Paradise Tours explain everything in detail, and make snuba diving easy and interesting.They were a fun bunch of people to spend a half-day of my vacation with! Cheers.
Lumi ~ Chicago, IL
Just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed The SNUBA and snorkeling trip. It was absolutely breathtaking seeing the wonderful reefs and sea life firsthand. I would say the SNUBA experience made our vacation one of the best ever for us. I was as excited as a Young child in a candy store when I went under with your support staff. Your whole group was so helpful and accomodating to us and I loved the whole experience. Thanks again! We will definitely be back and also tell our friends about the wonders of SNUBA!
G. Carlson ~ Houston, TX
This was by far THE most fun we have had on an excursion! The snuba experience was one in a million! These folks know how to treat you right! We had a blast on the boat! Jose, Juan, Eduardo and one more guy...can't think of his name... our hats off to you for making our day a blast! Watch out for those Tequila shots!! Thanks for a fantastic memory!

PREP FOOTBALL: Cougars win ranked clash for 5-0 start; Spartans stroll
ALGONA – Clay Meinders ran for a team-leading 67 yards and scored the game's only touchdown with 9 seconds left, lifting Class A No. 4 AGWSR to a 6-0 triumph over No. 9 Bishop Garrigan in Friday's District 2 showdown.
Both teams' defense-first ways rang true, as AGWSR delivered with its third shutout of the season. The Cougars (5-0, 2-0) are allowing just 4 points per game this season and are out to their best start in shared school history.
Levi Stockdale led the defense with 10 tackles, Meinders had eight, and Joey Neely recovered a fumble.
The Cougars host Southeast Webster-Grand (1-3, 0-2) next Friday night.
Grundy Center 47, GMG 10
GARWIN – Grundy Center got out to a 28-7 halftime lead and poured it on, securing a Class A District 4 win over GMG on the Wolverines' Homecoming.
Three Spartans went over 100 yards rushing, led by Bryce Flater's nine-carry, 162-yard performance. Bryce Moats ran 14 times for 146 yards and two touchdowns, and Jordan Clapp carried 24 times for 133 yards and two scores. Flater's 78-yard touchdown run came as a part of Grundy Center's 21-point second quarter.
Quarterback Brock Rohler finished 8-of-15 for 166 yards and two touchdowns, helping the Spartans (3-2, 2-0) overcome three lost fumbles. Jordan Stoner and Austin Burroughs both hauled in TD passes.
GMG's lone score came on a 15-yard return of a fumble by Luke Petty. Austin Vaughn added a 42-yard field goal for the Wolverines (3-2, 1-1). Brock Fisher ran for 51 yards to lead GMG, while Bridger Claassen was 4-for-11 for 63 yards with two interceptions. Trent Geiken led the defense with 12 tackles and a fumble recovery.
Grundy Center visits Iowa Valley (1-4, 0-2) Friday while GMG goes to Belle Plaine (1-3, 0-1).
North Tama 19, Iowa Valley 2
MARENGO – North Tama snapped its season-long skid with a Class A District 4 win Friday at Iowa Valley (1-4, 0-2).
Brody Hulme passed for 150 yards and two touchdowns, connecting with Riley Rohach on a 79-yarder and Caden Stuart on a 24-yard score. Omar Martinez added a 1-yard TD plunge for the Redhawks (1-4, 1-1).
Brandon Kaufman ran for a team-leading 57 yards on 11 carries for North Tama. Kyle Isenhower led the defense with 16 tackles and Zac Ameling had 11. Stuart picked off two passes and Kelon Hansen had a fumble recovery.
North Tama hosts BCLUW (1-3, 0-1) Friday.
Newton 22, South Tama 19
TAMA – Extra points proved to be the undoing for South Tama as the Trojans fell 22-19 to Newton (2-2, 1-1) in Class 3A District 4 play.
Jerry Lowe ran for 73 yards and two touchdowns for STC (1-3, 0-2), and Bo Blocker had a team-leading 83 yards on 16 carries. Dalton Doyle completed 12-of-25 passes for 246 yards and a 60-yard touchdown connection with Dylan Kalinay, but it wasn't enough for the Trojans.
Kalinay ended up with two catches for 99 yards, while Blocker had four grabs for 89 yards. Lowe led the defense with 10 tackles.
South Tama goes to Saydel (1-3, 0-2) this week.
Roland-Story 20, South Hardin 12
ELDORA – Three turnovers for South Hardin helped Roland-Story take down the Tigers for its first win of the season.
The Norsemen (1-3, 1-1) did not turn the ball over en route to the Class 2A District 7 win. Josiah Soderstrum ran for 102 yards on 20 carries with an 18-yard touchdown dash. Zach Hovick added a 1-yard TD dive and Trent Elliott's only reception was a 31-yard touchdown grab.
South Hardin's Sam Shindelar was 22-for-38 for 295 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Bobby Hatton ended with eight catches for 125 yards and a touchdown in addition to leading the team with 56 rushing yards. Eric Mulder had six catches for 54 yards and another score.
Jordan Wilkie led the Tigers (1-3, 1-1) with nine tackles. South Hardin visits Gilbert (2-2, 1-1) in Week 5.
Center Point-Urbana 42, East Marshall 6
LE GRAND – Center Point-Urbana worked with short fields throughout the night, amassing just 239 yards of total offense but a 42-6 non-district win over host East Marshall (0-5).
The Stormin' Pointers (3-1) rattled off their third straight win behind three touchdown runs for Brandon Kinsey. Kinsey had 10 carries for 73 yards, while Ryan Wilkin had 36 rushing yards and two scores.
Zach Rubenbauer carried 23 times for 104 yards and East Marshall's only touchdown, a 23-yard dash to paydirt. Nick Long added 51 rushing yards and 10 tackles, while Justin Case had a team-high 12 stops.
Three turnovers proved to be too much for the Mustangs to overcome. They visit Roland-Story (1-3, 1-1) Friday night.
Twin Cedars 52, Meskwaki 22
MESKWAKI SETTLEMENT – Twin Cedars quarterback Brent Parker added to his state-leading passing yardage, going 13-for-24 for 284 yards and seven touchdowns in a 52-22 triumph for the Sabers (5-0, 3-0) over Meskwaki in 8-Man District 5 play.
Parker, who also threw two interceptions, leads all of Iowa with 1,449 passing yards and 29 touchdowns.
No statistics were reported for Meskwaki (0-4, 0-3), which visits Seymour (0-4, 0-2) this week.

- The magnificent mediaeval castle that we see today at Dover dates back to the 12th century, and has long be key to the defence of England. The site has been used even longer, with earthworks dating back to the Iron Age. Dover Castle is a popular tourist attraction today, and the wartime tunnels in the cliffs beneath the castle are of great interest. See more at www.SerenityPhotography.co.uk

Abortion response
Jerome Behm, Burlington
I am writing to comment on the letter written by Kayla Schmidt which appeared in the June 23, 2013, issue of The Minot Daily News.
Kayla Schmidt says she had the misfortune of reading Margaret Sitte's June 2 letter and Mary Graner's June 9 letter and that both of these ladies used loaded language to impose shame upon women across North Dakota. Kayla goes on to say that "abortion doesn't exist because of clinics, clinics exist because women need a safe place." The question that I ask is how safe is any place that is used to murder an innocent human being? Why is it that there is so much unconcern in all of this? Our constitution guarantees everyone the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Abortion denies the right to life to our most innocent and most defenseless citizens and so few seem to be alarmed about this.
Kayla Schmidt goes on to insinuate that a fetus is just a collection of cells. To say this is such an injustice to a human being who is yet not able to sustain life outside the womb. This is a human being in its earliest stages of life and this little human being was endowed with a soul by the Creator at the moment of conception. It is strange how some people can rationalize something so wonderful as the gift of God created life into "just a collection of cells." This type of language and rationale is dangerous because it tends to remove the dignity and respect that needs to be accorded to God's gift of life. How long can we as a society exist when the things we need to hold so dear are trashed and relegated as so useless?
Nowhere in her article did Kayla Schmidt suggest that responsible behavior, abstinence, respect for ourselves and others, common decency, or respect and obedience for the 10 commandments be upheld. She uses false rationalization in an attempt to make her point that abortion is right and should be permitted because women have a right to take control of their own bodies. How right is it when one person destroys the life of another just because it seems so convenient to do so?
For those who wish to underrate an embryo or fetus, let's consider something else. The bald eagle is a protected species and as such, it is against the law to kill them. It is also unlawful to desecrate an eagle nest and to destroy the eggs that are being incubated. And why is this? It is because thought prevails that an eagle will hatch from the egg. I have never heard of anyone trying to say that this is only a "collection of cells" when there is such strong sentiment for saving the eagle. Why then is a human embryo which is endowed with a soul from God viewed as "just a collection of cells?" All of this is some pretty skewed thinking, Kayla.
There is never a time in our lives when we are not responsible to someone or to a higher power. For those who choose to self rationalize that human life is only a collection of cells, there will be a very interesting meeting someday when those individuals face God and then try to rationalize to Him that His gift of life is only a "collection of cells."

As 2013 starts out with snow on the ground and cold temperatures in the air, and with a few more months of that same weather, we wonder what there is to read. As a baby boomer, and there are many of us out there, we remember some of the people we watched on television and in the movies. With that in mind, listed below are a few biographies of people we grew up with.
Hello, Gorgeous. Becoming Barbara Streisand by William J. Mann: She was a 17-year-old Brooklyn kid with plenty of talent but no connections, and certainly no money. Just four years later, Barbara Streisand was the top-selling female recording artist in America. Hollywood biographer William Mann tells the riveting behind-the-scenes story of how Streisand and her team transformed her from an unknown dreamer into a worldwide superstar. Drawing on private papers and interviewing scores of friends and lovers, Mann recreates the vanished world of 1960s New York City and uncovers the truth behind the myths of her formative years. Mann incisively illuminates the woman before she became the icon, and pays tribute to one of the world's most beloved performers.
My Extraordinary Ordinary Life by Sissy Spacek, with Maryanne Vollers: In her delightful and moving memoir, Academy Award-winning actress Sissy Spacek writes about her idyllic, barefoot childhood in a small East Texas town with the clarity and wisdom that comes from never losing sight of her roots. She grew up a tomboy, tagging along with two older brothers and absorbing grace and grit from her remarkable parents, who taught her that she could do anything. She also learned fearlessness in the wake of a family tragedy, the grief propelling her "like rocket fuel" to follow her dreams to becoming a performer. With a keen sense of humor and a bighearted voice, she describes how she arrived in New York City one star-struck summer as a 17-year-old carrying a suitcase and two guitars, and how she built a career that has spanned four decades. Sissy's memoir is poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, plainspoken, and utterly honest.
Kiss Me Like A Stranger, My Search For Love and Art by Gene Wilder: In this personal book from the star of many beloved and classic film comedies, Gene Wilder writes about a side of his life the public hasn't seen on the screen. It is not a autobiography in the usual sense of the word, and it's certainly not another celebrity "tell-all." Instead, Wilder has chosen to write about resonant moments in his life, events that led him to an understanding of the art of acting, and, more important, to an understanding of how to give love to and receive love from a woman. Wilder writes compellingly about the creative process on stage and screen, why he got into acting and later comedy, and how a Midwestern childhood with a sick mother changed him. It is a thoughtful, revealing, and winsome book about life, love and the creative process in one actor's life in his own words.
My Mother Was Nuts, A Memoir by Penny Marshall: Most people know Penny Marshall as the director of "Big" and "A League of Their Own." What they don't know is her trailblazing career was a happy accident. In this funny and intimate memoir, Penny takes us from the stage of "The Jackie Gleason Show" in 1955 to Hollywood's star-studded sets, offering up some hilarious detours along the way. This book is an intimate backstage pass to Penny's personal life, her breakout role on "The Odd Couple," her exploits with Cindy Williams and John Belushi, and her travels across Europe with Art Garfunkel on the back of a motorcycle. We see Penny get married, divorced, and married again. We meet young Carrie Fisher, whose close friendship with Penny has spanned decades. And we see Penny at work with Tom Hanks, Mark Wahlberg, Whoopi Goldberg, Robert De Niro and Whitney Houston. Through it all, from her childhood spent tap-dancing in the Bronx, to her rise as the star of "Laverne & Shirley," Penny lived by simple rules: "Try hard, help your friends, don't get too crazy, and have fun." With humor and heart, "My Mother was Nuts" reveals there's no one else quite like Penny Marshall.
