A window into health in California.

Reporter: Katie Orr
The Governor was in San Diego yesterday, stumping for his jobs plan. Katie Orr of KPBS was there and filed this report.
Katie Orr: Brown's plan focuses on changing the corporate tax structure in California, which he says would generate $1 billion in revenue.
Brown's plan focuses on changing the corporate tax structure in California, which he says would generate $1 billion in revenue. A key to making it work would be eliminating a system that lets corporations choose how they're taxed.
But Republicans have resisted Brown's plan, calling it an increase on business taxes.
Brown needs GOP support to get the plan through the legislature. The governor acknowledges any compromise with the Republicans would change his plan somewhat, though he wouldn't say what's being considered.
Governor Jerry Brown: Any time you have legislation, it's the work of more than one hand. So, there are some Republicans who are already on board.
And there's active discussion by those individuals with other legislators of that party. So, I'm reasonably optimistic we're going to get something by the end of the week.
Orr: Brown needs a bill by the end of the week, because that's when the legislative session ends. He made his pitch at biotech company Gen-Probe, which manufactures products to screen blood.
David Gollaher is CEO of the California Healthcare Institute, an advocacy group for biotech companies in California. He told a gathering of Gen-Probe workers that Brown's jobs plan would help the industry by providing manufacturing tax breaks.
Sales tax would be either reduced or eliminated for manufacturers in the state.
David Gollaher: As it happens, the life sciences is one of the industries that America still preserves its lead in.
We're still globally competitive and, in fact, still a leader in biotechnology and high tech medical devices and diagnostics. But that leadership has never been more susceptible to threat than it is today.
Orr: Brown says he wants to see California focus on manufacturing as a way to create more jobs for the state.

Core Vaccinations to Protect Your Kitten
May 10, 2013
Your adorable kitten gets a good start in life with natural immunity to disease transferred from its mother's milk. But that natural protection decreases over time and is completely gone by 16 weeks of age. That's why your kitten needs vaccinations on a schedule designed to prevent gaps in immunity against diseases.
Dr. Kandice Norrell, primary care veterinarian at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Urbana, advises owners to follow the recommendations on core vaccinations for kittens put forward by the American Association for Feline Practitioners (AAFP), the nation's experts on cat health. Following are the diseases and the recommended vaccination schedules.
FPV. Feline panleukopenia, a potentially deadly disease caused by feline parvovirus, is especially fatal among kittens with their immature immune system. Signs of this disease include lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and sudden death. According to the AAFP, a kitten can be vaccinated against FPV as early as 6 weeks of age, and then every 3 to 4 weeks until the kitten is 16 weeks old.
FHV-1. According to the AAFP, feline herpesvirus-1 is so common that most cats will be exposed to this disease at some point during their life. This disease usually causes an upper respiratory tract infection in cats and is also linked to eye diseases and skin lesions. Vaccination is recommended because of the high prevalence of the disease and how easily it is passed between animals. The AAFP recommends vaccinating against FHV-1 as early as 6 weeks and repeating every 3 to 4 weeks until the kitten is 16 weeks old. Cats should be revaccinated at one year of age and every three years thereafter.
FCV. Similar to FHV-1, feline calicivirus can lead to upper respiratory tract disease in cats, with common signs being sneezing, runny eyes and nose, lethargy, and a fever. Feline calicivirus can also lead to lesions forming on the tongue or hard palate in the animal's mouth. This virus is also very common, and it is likely that all cats will be exposed to this disease at some point, but kittens will likely have more severe cases. The AAFP states that kittens should be vaccinated against FCV as early as 6 weeks and then repeated every 3 to 4 weeks until the kitten is 16 weeks of age. Cats should be revaccinated at one year and then again every three years. Although this vaccination is generally safe, the AAFP notes that the modified-live FCV virus injection in combination with the FHV-1 vaccinations has led to some mild cases of upper respiratory disease and sometimes lameness.
Generally, a vaccination that offers protection against all three viruses listed above is combined into a single injection.
Rabies. Rabies is a potentially fatal disease that can be transmitted from animals to people. It poses a major public health risk because it claims 45,000 to 60,000 human lives annually worldwide. Although rabies can be spread from a bite from an infected cat or dog, bats are the animals most likely to transmit rabies. Every suspected or known case of rabies in a companion animal must be reported to the health department.
Rabies is a core vaccination for cats. The age at which the rabies vaccination is administered is determined by the county in which the pet lives. Generally, the vaccination is administered between 12 and 16 weeks of age.
Both a one-year and a three-year rabies vaccination are available for use in cats. However, the veterinarian must vaccinate in accordance with state and local laws, and some states and counties do not to recognize a three-year vaccination. Dr. Norrell, in accordance with AAFP guidelines, recommends against the use of a three-year product in cats because currently, all three-year rabies vaccinations contain adjuvants.
"An adjuvant is a substance added to a vaccination to induce a stronger immune response. Cats are very sensitive to adjuvants. Adjuvants increase the risk of vaccination reaction and have been linked with vaccine-induced cancer," says Dr. Norrell.
According to Dr. Norrell, it is not uncommon to see a little bit of lethargy, decreased appetite, and even a low-grade fever following any vaccination. These issues should be mild and go away on their own. Hives, facial swelling, vomiting, or diarrhea, as well as a lump at the injection site, should be reported to your veterinarian or emergency clinic as soon as possible.
For more information about vaccinations for kittens, speak with your local veterinarian.

The third group is more heterogeneous than the other two, which derive in regular ways from Middle English sounds.
Through and thorough derive from the same Old English word þurh. By a common sound change known as metathesis, the vowel and [r] switched positions in some dialects, which led to a proliferation of Middle English pronunciations and spellings. The u -sound was initially short and lax ([ʊ]), which helps explain why it did not go through the Great Vowel Shift and become the diphthong [aʊ)] as in plow. The sound was subsequently tensed as [u], giving the current prounciation of through .
Thorough (as the early stressed form of through ) and borough (OE burh ) have a similar history in the development of a second syllable after the introduction of a sympathetic vowel. (A current example of a sympathetic vowel is commonly heard with realtor, pronounced with a third syllable.)
An early example of the different pronunciations this version of -ough may attain is with the word slough (noun). It is even spelled two different ways in John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress in the late 17th century:
"They drew near to a very Miry Slough ... The name of the Slow was Dispond"
Bunyan, Pilgrim's Progress I.9
Slough, meaning a swampy depression or waterway, has two current pronunciations: [slaʊ], which is more British, and [slu], which is more American. The latter seems to be Starbuck's pronunciation, otherwise there would be no rhyme for "through." There are a variety of Middle English spellings which suggest variant pronunciations for the vowel, either [u:] or [o:]. How might this hypothesis account for today's different dialectal pronunciations?

Recently Oklahoma officials announced a deadline extension to order special license plates dedicated to the global war on terrorism. Oklahoma is not the only state that has one. Virginia has had one for years that reads "Fight Terrorism" and features a Pentagon, the Twin Towers, and an American flag.
In other words, this is nothing new and its an unremarkable story. Except for MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, whose staff ran the item in his blog "The NewsHole" with no comment, letting his left-wing loyalists provide the yuks. The August 2 headline, however, was a snarky, dismissive phrase: "Ridin' In Style."
While some commenters found the new plate non-controversial and wondered what the big deal was, others took the chance to mock the design.
One "T. Brooks" from Oklahoma even pulled a Natalie Maines, all while referencing a classic country hit:
I'm no longer proud to be an Okie from Muskogee.
One "Debbie G." from New York City suggested that "given the thought process, a picture of Yosemite Sam would be more fitting."
As I've noted before, there are some items on Web logs for which it makes little sense to have an open comments section. This item isn't exactly one of the subject areas I had in mind, but the license plate post seems to be designed for little more than to give loyal Olbermann lackeys space to crack jokes about Oklahomans, conservatives, and the war on terror in general, or to rail on about how overblown the war on terrorism is in their minds.

Knowledge is power. And if you have People Power 1.0, People Power's new mobile Energy Services Platform, you can use knowledge to save power – and money. People Power 1.0 is an open and extensible cloud-based platform that allows you to monitor up-to-the-minute household energy usage from an iPhone or Android smartphone. The user interface dashboards can be configured to display energy usage in kilowatts per hour or in terms of the local currency. Energy use can be displayed by day, month or year, and energy usage between any two time points in the storage history can be compared. A budget feature also allows you to set targets against which to compare ongoing usage.
Data is transmitted from gateway devices provided by partners Blue Line and TED or People Power's own GreenX Hub and GreenX Powerstrip devices. Blue Line's PowerCost Monitor WiFi Gateway attaches to the power box and visually reads the dials. It works through your house router to connect to the Internet and send data to your smartphone. Or you can measure energy consumption from individual devices with People Power's GreenX Powerstrips.
Because we're addicted to Facebook and (maybe soon?) Google+, People Power 1.0 has a social network feature to help you save energy too. You can compare household or business energy use with others in your area – or country or world, if you like – and exchange energy-saving tips. An Energy Quiz tests the extent of your green knowledge and schools you at the same time. The quiz is also socialized. You can compete with friends (there's a leaderboard) and post your quiz scores to Facebook.
People Power 1.0 is the company's solution to a society that wants to go green but wants an easy way to do it. The platform is free and you can get the Blue Line Innovations PowerCost Monitor and WiFi Gateway bundle for about $150. It's an overhead that's justified only if you save as much money through decreased energy use. People Power is currently conducting a trial with the City of Palo Alto Utilities to see just how empowering their green technology is. At any rate, it's certainly cheaper than retrofitting with the type of monitoring in a Panasonic Smart Town home.
Part of the growing Internet of Things, People Power 1.0 brings energy monitoring to the common household. Apparently, doing so is not as a straightforward as it might seem. Both Microsoft's Hohm and Google's PowerMeter systems have run out of juice. Microsoft cites slow adoption by the public. Seems we're stubbornly sticking to simply making sure the lights are off before we go to bed. It'll probably take trials like the one in Palo Alto and much talk of how much money the Smiths saved last month before people begin actively seeking out these types of energy saving technologies.

By Marilyn Elias, USA TODAY
As the economic crisis gathered steam last year, Americans became increasingly stressed out and experienced worsened mental health — a trend that continues today, according to a landmark Gallup-Healthways poll out this week.
Done nearly every day in 2008 and still ongoing, the survey of 355,334 people is believed to be the largest, longest and most thorough poll showing how emotional well-being shifts with economic changes.
The survey produces a so-called Emotional Health Index (EHI) — a measure that weighs negatives such as depression, worry and stress against the positive feelings a person experienced the day before the survey.
HARD TIMES: What's your 'emotional type'?
Among highlights of the poll:
•Stress shot up over 2008, peaking in the fall and winter as the economic crisis deepened, then continuing high through February. The 10 least happy days of 2008 all were in the last quarter.
•Emotional well-being overall dropped, too, driven largely by declines in mental health for the poorest people.
•Americans' moods were ultra-sensitive to economic news. Well-being plunged on days when the Dow lost big and with reports of high jobless claims.
•A state's EHI correlated with high rates of death from ailments such as heart disease, says Gallup analyst Raksha Arora. States with a lot of open space or sunshine — Hawaii, Alaska, Wyoming — had some of the best emotional health even as the economy sank. Many poorer and Rust Belt states — West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky — were worst off.
•There were few racial differences, but Hispanics, the nation's largest and fastest growing minority, had the worst emotional health all year long.
The poll was a joint effort between Gallup and Healthways, a disease-management company.
INTERACTIVE GRAPHIC: See who's most affected nationwide
The poll findings are no surprise to anyone on the front lines of mental health care, says David Baron, chairman of the psychiatry department at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia. "This recession has touched people in virtually every walk of life," Baron says.
SLEEPLESS: Economy keeping many up at night
The link between the EHI and illness makes sense, adds Stevan Hobfoll, a psychologist at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. Depression increases smoking and drinking and discourages exercise; it also raises the risk of heart disease, he says.
The survey shows that those 30 to 55 years old, prime earning years, may be suffering most from the bad economic news, says Gallup's Arora.
And these are also prime-time decades for raising families. But that's getting harder in such a tough economic climate, says Julie Moghal, a psychologist based at CHOC Children's Hospital in Orange, Calif. "So many parents are feeling guilty and upset about how to handle economic reverses with their children," she says.
Hispanics take it hard
The particularly poor emotional health of Hispanics may be caused by cultural qualities as well as their economic roles, according to experts.
Although women overall have higher depression rates than men, Hispanic women have the highest rates of all women, says Caroline Clauss-Ehlers of Rutgers University, a bilingual psychologist who counsels many Hispanic families in New York. Latinos take great pride in caring well for their families, "and if you're the mother, and the family isn't doing well, a lot of the women feel they're to blame," she says.
Hispanic men and women feel shame if they can't take good care of their families — a hard act when the economy is nose-diving. This shame can prompt people to isolate themselves, keeping anguish private so they don't get the support they need, Clauss-Ehlers says.
Many Hispanic adults send money home regularly to even-poorer family members in other countries, she adds, so the recession has amplified pressure.
In the USA, a lot of Hispanics work as small-business owners dependent on Hispanic customers, who have lost work in this economic crisis as contractors, construction workers, painters or day laborers, according to Estuardo Rodriguez, spokesman for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund. With the building market collapsed, Hispanics have taken a hard hit in this recession, he says.
Someone who knows that too well is 35-year-old Raul DeAnda of Antioch, Calif. He had a good job in home construction, owned a house and supported three children with his wife expecting a fourth, when the unexpected slammed down on them in May: The company he worked for went out of business.
DeAnda spent nine months searching for work without success as savings dwindled and bills piled up. Now the family is facing foreclosure. Just last week, he latched onto another construction job, but he and his wife both fear it may be temporary and worry that they're so behind in mortgage payments they're going to lose their house, anyway.
He's a nervous wreck. And his wife, Lorena De La Cruz, minces no words on how she feels: "I'm very stressed, anxious, depressed and worried about our family." The longer it has gone on, the more worried she has become, De La Cruz says. With four children 2 months to 7 years old, she can't easily join the work force herself and prays her husband can keep this construction job.
Support system weakens
Even if lower-income people seek counseling for recession-related stress, they may have to wait a long time or never get help, says a report on public mental-health services out Wednesday that suggests one reason why poorer adults may be sinking in emotional well-being as the economy worsens.
The mental health system that serves them was on the economic chopping block all over the USA last year, with widespread slashes in services, says Michael Fitzpatrick, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, which put out the report.
Meanwhile, many therapists treating more upscale patients are hearing about more money-related traumas and pleas for reduced rates. As the Gallup-Healthways survey shows, stress has risen across the board.
Kathy Seus, 45, of Chicago was upbeat and fairly optimistic after losing her sales job in January. With experience in sales, marketing and management, plus an MBA from the University of Chicago, she hoped a strong effort would help her land another job. Two months later, optimism has waned and depression is setting in. There's no job in sight.
Meanwhile, her property taxes for March have gone unpaid. So has her mortgage, because she tried to negotiate a lower payment and says the bank wouldn't work with her until she stopped paying.
"For the first time in my life, I'm really scared and very worried about losing a house in which I've invested every cent I have and have lived in for 13 years," she says.
Many friends have slipped away as she has struggled to keep her head above water, Seus says. "They offer no comfort. I tell people I lost my job and am worried about losing my house, and they tell me how they've had to cut back on manicures."
She keenly appreciates those who have shown empathy. "The few that have been there for me have been absolute lifesavers," she says. "I hope that one day I can return the favor."
Supportive friends are vital for people facing economic crisis, says Lanny Berman, executive director of the American Association of Suicidology. A lack of supportive relationships is tied to higher suicide rates among the unemployed, Berman says. Unemployed adults have two to four times the suicide rates of employed people, but coping skills in hard times vary widely, he adds.
Suicides spiked during the Great Depression but didn't increase in later recessions lasting an average of 10 months, according to the suicidology group's website. The current recession is 15 months long and counting.
The Gallup-Healthways poll shows a lot of people are suffering in this scary economic crisis, "and we need to be more concerned about what happens with suicide now," Berman says. When someone is in despair over economic problems, "give them support and see that they get help for mental health problems," he says. "This is the time to be our brother's keeper."

The Women Behind Maya Beiser
Cellist Maya Beiser has dedicated her career to pushing the limits of her instrument's repertoire. A founding member of the Bang on a Can All-Stars, Beiser has worked with a diverse array of collaborators, from Tan Dun to Brian Eno, Steve Reich and James Newton Howard.
Maya Beiser writes the following of her mixtape:
I have just completed a run of my multimedia cello opera – Elsewhere – at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's 30th Next Wave Festival. The piece tells the story of two women fighting to survive in an unjust and brutal world. One of the characters is inspired by Lot's Wife – the nameless biblical woman from Sodom who was punished for disobeying god's command not to look back at her burning city. She has captured my imagination since first grade when my teacher told us her story.
I spent my childhood years studying the masterpieces of Western classical music. The composers, without exception, all belonged to a strictly male, exclusive club. Is it conceivable that no woman ever wrote music or painted a masterpiece? I often think about the women throughout the millennia who were prevented from expressing their artistic impulses.
In this hour of music I want to share with you the music of the women who impacted me the most – both composers and performers; those who touched and moved me to my core, who challenged me to rethink everything I thought I knew about life and music and art and love; those who have inspired me for years, and those who I have just recently discovered.

Ok, ok I know someone is going to ask. . . "Hey what about Thursday?". . . well let me tell you that when I got up at 3:00 on Thursday morning and it was raining cats and dogs! Unfortunately, by the time it rolled around to legal shooting it had simmered down to a light drizzle. . .I could have kicked myself for not going out in the rain on Thursday. . . I heard shots echoing up and down the lake all morning. If anyone had good luck on Thursday DON'T TELL ME!
Decided that Friday I would try something new and motored into a new spot to try my luck. First thing in the morning I had a Male and Female Hooded Merganser float into my spread and I took the Drake at about 20 yards with a shot of #4 Remington HV. I "thought" that maybe my luck would change and I might see a few mallards or blacks BUT the mergansers were the only ducks I saw all day. It was so cold with the North wind blowing, at what I thought had to be 50 miles per hour, that I had to crawl into my decoy bag to keep from freezing to death. I finally had to call it quite at 9:30 when I could no longer feel my feet. :) Man, I must love duck hunting.
Anyone else out Friday and almost turn into a popsicle?

Panorama is 50 years old on November 11, which makes it Britain's longest running television programme.
If Eastenders lasts that long, bunting will be hung from Broadcasting House, there will be a street party in Albert Square and the corpse of Peggy Mitchell will be dipped in gold and mounted on a plinth in Trafalgar Square.
Instead, the Panorama team may, at best, blackmail the BBC bosses into giving them a glass of warm Moldovan Riesling.
The programme long ago slipped into unfashionability, around the time that TV succumbed to the cult of the 'dish monkey' - reporters who stand decoratively beside the satellite link upon a rooftop in Kidderminster or Khartoum and do their best to tell us what they have been able to find out in the five minutes since they were last called on.
I suspect, though, that conscience will nudge many to acknowledge that there is something remarkable about a programme that can span two generations, rock governments, force resignations and reveal the inner secrets of a royal marriage.
Pay attention
Even those very many institutions and individuals, from prime ministers to medical associations, who have been its victims, will have to concede that the world is a better place for having journalistic operations that cast a cold eye on everyone and everything.
The list of those who have worked on the programme reads (in the sort of cliché editors ought to wince at) like a Who's Who of British journalism, from Richard Dimbleby and Malcolm Muggeridge to David Dimbleby and Robert Harris.
The boss of Channel 4, Mark Thompson, the controller of BBC1, Lorraine Heggessey, and the BBC's Director of Television, Jana Bennett, to name but three, all served their time there.
Portentousness, that tone of 'this is the most important thing you have ever heard in your life: now sit up and pay attention', has been the prevailing voice of the programme for at least two decades. But it was not always so.
Once upon a time, Panorama was a magazine programme, whose most famous report was a despatch from Italy on the spaghetti harvest, broadcast on April 1.
Takeaway gaffe
In time, the format changed from magazine to single-subject documentary. At a time when TV journalism dealt heavily in second hand ideas and information, it set out to rock the boat with original reporting that shattered illusion and afflicted the comfortable.
Going head to head with ITV's punchy World in Action on Monday evenings encouraged the competition, which can so often be the spur to originality: it was the place that made some of TV's finest producers.
Of course it was not always the nicest place to work. It was awash with large egos and unshared secret sources, and intensely competitive. As one particularly poisonous producer explained during my time on the programme, "It is not enough to succeed: others have to be seen to fail."
Fired off across the country and around the world, teams fought to make it onto the air. Editing sessions usually lasted all night. At about 10.30pm or so, the assistant would order a takeaway from a nearby restaurant.
On one occasion, he went down to reception, saw a Chinese-looking gent sitting there and demanded the spare ribs and egg fried rice. "I am," said the baffled oriental, "the Prime Minister of Singapore."
Dish monkeys
In retrospect, it seems absurd that anyone could claim to be working on a considered piece of journalism in these frenetic circumstances. Sometimes, the second half of the film was still being cut while the first half was being broadcast.
Once, the finished item only made the gate because the film editor happened to have a pair of roller skates in the cutting room and took literally the instruction to 'get your skates on'.
With its slogan ' a window on the world', Panorama was invented in an age when the only way to air moving pictures from abroad was to film them on location, ship them back home and then spend endless hours in the laborious process of editing, scripting and dubbing.
Now you can take a satellite dish almost anywhere and broadcast live into sitting rooms across the land.
It makes for immediacy, which has perhaps marginalised the slower media formats. But immediacy can come at the cost of understanding.
The TV news shows pictures of flooding across the country. But it does not necessarily have the time or inclination to ask why the floods keep occurring, or why developers have been throwing up houses in places where you're likely to have to eat your breakfast in Wellingtons.
No programme has a right to exist for ever. Each must justify its existence by telling people something that they want to or need to know. But Panorama was done no favours by the bosses at the BBC, who have shunted it around the weekly schedules like a rusting goods wagon in a siding at Crewe.
A guaranteed slot at 8pm or so on a Monday evening sounds as if it belongs to an age when families gathered around a flickering black and white box, father in cardigan and puffing on a pipe. In fact, it wasn't so long ago.
But it was before the Conservative broadcasting reforms which threw ITV to the barbarians, who killed off World In Action, with whom Panorama had shared a sort of no-mans-land in the battle for audiences. After that, there was just the shot and shell of the ratings war.
Rattling cages
First the programme was pulled out of the early evening front line, then from weekdays altogether. It sits now late on a Sunday night, at a time when most of us are worrying about the Monday morning commute or trying to find a child's missing left school shoe.
Its enemies say they don't know half of the reporters. But no-one had ever heard of me when I was on the programme. Besides, what the audience needs is frankness more than familiarity.
Like many others, I still watch Panorama occasionally. It tells me things I didn't know, such as who bombed Omagh, of the scandals in horse racing, or why prescription drugs can ruin people's lives. The programme Sex and the Holy City, examining the troubling consequences in the third world of the Vatican's teachings on birth control, has already got Catholic luminaries writing in outrage to the newspapers.
When it's on song, it still rattles cages. And that is the main justification for journalism of any sort.
Jeremy Paxman's article first appeared in The Mail on Sunday's Night and Day magazine.

All the things.
I'm the Queen of Procrastination
Currently it's cleaning the bathrooms, which is something that never changes. It is by far my least favorite thing to do EVER. EVER. EVER.
Putting a restoring finish on an antique dresser we got on Craig's List a while back and putting on new knobs. It's really not hard to put on, just wipe it on and wait 30 minutes then put a wax on then install my pretty blue glass knobs.
Yard work, which I plan on doing today.
We're having family visit in a week and I've always said there's nothing like company coming to get everything done.
Byron,GA> Charleston, SC> Jacksonville, FL> Guilford, CT> Rohnert Park, CA! A southern drawl in sunny Cali! .
The amount of time from slipping on the peel and landing on the pavement is exactly one bananosecond.
I do have a secret yen for pink in unexpected places.

I've decided that I'll never get down to my original weight, and I'm OK with that--After all, 8 pounds 2 oz. is just not realistic.

I wish it were not so, for Fernando Torres (above) at his peak was the world's most exciting centre-forward.
But even Roman Abramovich must surely see now that his £50million investment was money down the drain.
Not entirely, perhaps; it is possible that a Spanish club will gamble, say, £10m on a change of scene sparking a revival of sorts. But this was truly the worst buy in football.

Matcha Whoopie Pies

Submitted to: Bouyoucos Conference Proceedings
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 8/3/1995
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Non-point source (NPS) agricultural pollutants such as salts are pollutants of surface and subsurface soil and water which are usually present in low concentrations, but spread out over very large areas. Concern over NPS pollutants has grown due to their degradation of surface and groundwater drinking supplies and due to their impact on agricultural soils. An integrated methodology is presented for assessing soil salinity and salt loading to the groundwater over thousands of acres. The methodology integrates ground positioning systems (GPS), remote sensing instrumentation, solute transport modeling and geographic information systems (GIS) for the purpose of measuring and predicting salt accumulation and movement through soil and into the groundwater. The presented methodology is designed to asses the impact of salt upon soil and groundwater resources, thereby serving as a decision-making tool for minimizing detrimental environmental impacts of salinity on irrigated agricultural soils.
Technical Abstract: The assessment of the environmental impact of non-point source pollutants related to agricultural activities is needed to minimize environmental deterioration while maintaining agricultural productivity. An integrated methodology is presented for the real-time measurement of soil salinity, and the prediction of soil salinity and salt-loading to the groundwater. To measure real-time salinity over large land areas (i.e., thousands of acres),a mobile,automated field-salinity measurement vehicle was developed that combines both four-electrode and electromagnetic sensors to measure the soil salinity of the root zone with a global positioning system (GPS). To predict areal distributions of soil salinity and salt-loading to the groundwater, a geographic information system (i.e., ARC/INFO) has been coupled to a solute transport model(i.e., TETrans). Approximately two-thirds (2396 hectares) of the Broadview Water District located on the westside of the San Joaquin Valley of central California was used as the test site to evaluate the coupled GIS/solute transport model. Results of the TETrans calculations are presented for a single growing season (1991). Display maps show calculated destinations of salt-loading to groundwater and predictions of potentially salt-affected soils. The maps provide the visual information essential for formulating irrigation management strategies to minimize groundwater pollution, reduce water usage, lower shallow water tables, and reclaim deteriorating soils without adversely impacting crop productivity.

Your right...that car may not warrant a 10K paint job....so don't put one on. It all depends on what you want...if you want it done correctly and you want it shinny and you want it straight and you want it to last...if you can't do it yourself but have a good friend that can...be prepared to pay. If you want it painted, there are many places that will put color on your car for a very reasonable price...but it's going over top of, in your words "the paint is 26 y/o and tired from lack of care..".
If that's what you want...your call...there's nothing wrong with that, as I mentioned, there are many places and people that would do that, I wouldn't, it's my name and reputation that I'd be worried about. If I painted a car like that and something happened....The first question would be, who painted that car??? Not, didn't you want that car stripped? or, Why didn't you get it done properly in the first place? It always lands on the guys lap that agreed to do it for cheap...If I do it right, and something goes wrong, at least I would know what I was working with be able to fix it easier, knowing what's underneath.

Have a plan for a construction defect crisis
Typing "construction defect" in a Google search creates several million hits. Owners, general contractors and attorneys throughout the country are turning to litigation to attempt to solve water infiltration claims. When water claims are made, window and door manufacturers are inevitably included in the target list. Failing to plan ahead for claims, some of which may be huge and national in scope can cause a manufacturer to close its doors. This week's tip contributed by Carson & Coil, P.C..
Have an answer for these questions: How many windows and doors have you supplied throughout the United States? Elsewhere? How many units went to a single owner, hotel chain, or other extensive development? What climates and regions are your windows installed in? What type of construction are your windows installed in?
It is important to have a team in place well in advance of any crisis in order to manage, effectively respond to, and beat any crisis.
Contact Charles A. "Chip" Gentry, 573/636-2177 or email@example.com.

Adrianna and Mark 's Wedding
"Do not go to this place. My first experience was terrible. It was my first time trying on dresses and I brought in a picture and they said that they couldn't help me. The second time I went in there was for my mom to try on dresses and they had us waiting while they were in the back talking. My mom found the dress of her dreams there and spent $1000 on it. But they still ended up messing that up to. They put darts in my mom's dress and they looked offal and the dress was brought in more on one side then the other. My maid of honor got her dress altered there to and they didn't bring it in enough. We had to take my mom's dress TWO DAYS BEFORE the wedding we had to take it to my alterations person to try to fix it. She worked a miracle and it looked great."

Notes to Editors:


text:
Exhibiting less grace than its sexually bumbling protagonist, Maggie Carey's dud is a two-trick pony, clumsily alternating between cynical '90s nostalgia and jokes about filthy carnal acts, the latter of which are performed by Brandy (Aubrey Plaza), a nerdy valedictorian in 1993 Boise, Idaho. She's got no experience in the bedroom, yet embarks on preparing herself for guitar-playing hunk Rusty (Scott Porter), to whom she plans on losing her virginity. That quest involves checking off items on the titular list with a variety of guys, including dorky admirer Cameron (Johnny Simmons), with whom she works at the local pool, run by slacker Willy (Bill Hader).
Don't be fooled, though—almost no plot exists in this ramshackle comedy, which amounts to a series of loosely connected vignettes in which Plaza embarrasses herself trying to act alluring. Drably ugly, edited without rhythm and dominated by lackluster performances, The To Do List can't even bother making its episodic action coalesce into an endorsement of female sexual independence. It's too busy pleasing itself with lame references to (among others) Eddie Vedder and Hillary Clinton that suggest the film believes old stuff is funny because, you know, it's old.

Ride-along Explorer Scout rescues Calif. deputy
By Dana M. Nichols
Stockton Record
VALLEY SPRINGS, Calif. — A 16-year-old Explorer Scout riding along Friday with a Calaveras County sheriff's deputy may have saved the deputy's life during a brawl in Valley Springs, a Sheriff's Department spokesman said Monday.
Sgt. Dave Seawell, a department spokesman, did not identify the teenager but said Deputy Michael Dittman was on the verge of losing consciousness during a Friday night brawl when the Explorer intervened to pull an assailant's forearm off of Dittman's throat.

Oct. 23, 2011
By Todd Mounce, Media Relations Graduate Assistant
ATHENS,Ga. - The No. 20 University of Tennessee volleyball team started its second half of the SEC season much like the first, as the squad made it a perfect weekend by defeating Georgia in four sets, 25-15, 25-23, 26-28, 25-21, on Sunday afternoon at the Ramsey Student Center in Athens, Georgia.
With the victory of UGA, the Lady Vols have now won three straight, improved their overall record to 18-3 and are an impressive 11-1 against the Southeastern Conference.
"We came into Georgia knowing that Georgia has a very potent offense and very physical hitters," Lady Vol head coach Rob Patrick said. "We knew our work would be cut out for us being on the road and being in their home gym. I challenged our players to really win the hustle plays. I'm very pleased to how they responded to that. I thought that was the key to winning this match. How hard we played, how hard we went after the ball. It was a good win for us."
Sophomore Kelsey Robinson filled up that stat sheet again, tallying a team-best 19 kills and 16 digs, as she recorded her SEC best 16th double-double on the year. Robinson has now registered double digits in kills and digs in six straight matches.
Junior DeeDee Harrison was a big factor on both sides of the net, as she ranked second on the team with 12 kills, while hitting a team-best .429 against the Bulldogs. Defensively, she sent six UGA attacks back, as she led the team in the blocks category. Leslie Cikra, a junior, was the third Lady Vol who tallied 10 kills or more, as she slammed down 10 versus UGA.
"Kelsey Robinson did a wonderful job of really leading our team today on the court," Patrick said. "I thought she was a huge reason why we were able to win a couple of those close sets and win the match. DeeDee Harrison was very big in the middle She has always been an offensive force for us, be she's doing a wonderful job blocking now. "
Freshman Tiffany Baker was one kill shy of 10, as she notched nine kills to go along with four blocks. Fellow freshman Shealyn Kolosky also was an all-around performer, as she blasted five kills and registered three blocks. Ellen Mullins has now dug up double digit digs in all 12 SEC matches this season, as she had 14 on Sunday. She also had a team-best 39 service receptions with only had one error.
For the 11th time this season, setter Mary Pollmiller tallied at least 50 helpers as she had 53 of UT's 54 assists against Georgia. Nikki Brice had a career day at the service line, as the freshman recorded four service aces to better her previous-best of three, which came against Houston.
The Big Orange stormed out of the gates in the first set, as the team hit .423 in the frame. Down 3-2, kills from Baker and Robinson and a UGA attack error gave Tennessee a 5-3 advantage. Georgia would tie the match at five and six, but a serving error by the Bulldogs gave Tennessee the lead for good at 7-6.
After the service error, Pollmiller and Kolosky combined for two blocks and a Bulldog attack error pushed the Orange and White lead to 10-6. The Bulldogs would get to within three at 12-9, but a 3-0 by UT by way of a Harrison kill, a solo block by Baker and a Robinson ace gave the Lady Vols a 15-9 lead.
Up four, 17-13, Tennessee scored three consecutive points to push the lead to seven, 20-13. During that stretch, Robinson and Baker each had a kill to go along with a ball handling error by Georgia. The Lady Vols closed out the set by scoring five of the final six points, with Harrison leading the charge. Harrison had a pair of kills plus combined to send a UGA attack back along with Pollmiller. Robinson and Kolosky also had kills.
The defense was just as good as the offense in the set, as the Lady Vols limited the Bulldogs to a hitting percentage of .074 in the first set. Pollmiller had three blocks in the opening set, while Kolosky had a pair. Offensively, Robinson and Harrison each tallied five kills.
Georgia jumped out to a quick 3-1 advantage in the second set, before blasts from Robinson and Cikra would even things at three apiece. The set would be tied at seven and eight before the Orange and White would grab their first lead at 9-8 as a result of a UGA attack error. A kill from Robinson and a UGA miscue gave Tennessee an 11-8 advantage.
The Lady Vols would lead by as many as four in the set, 13-9, 14-10 and 15-11 before the Bulldogs rallied and scored five straight to take a 16-15 lead. Tennessee would regain the lead at 17-16 off a Bulldogs attack error. Tied at 18 all, Tennessee would score three in a row and four out of five to grab a 22-19 advantage. During the span, Robinson and Harrison combined for three kills.
The Bulldogs would go on a 3-0 rally to knot the set at 22 before Tennessee would close the set out by scoring three of the final four points. A laser sent down the line by Robinson and a block by Harrison and Baker got UT within one, 24-22, and two points later a Cikra kill ended it, 25-23.
A Robinson kill gave Tennessee the first point of the third frame before the Bulldogs would score eight of the next 10 to grab a quick 8-3 lead and forced Tennessee to call timeout. Following the break, Cikra would tally a kill and two points later, a Kolosky kill fueled a 6-0 rally by the Orange and White to regain the lead, 10-9. The set would be tied at points 11 through 17 before Tennessee went on another run.
A kill from Cikra made the match all square at 17, which was the beginning of a 4-0 spurt. Tennessee took a three point lead after two UGA errors and a service ace by Brice. A bad set by the Bulldogs would give Tennessee the opportunity to serve for the match at 24-22, but the Lady Vols could not end it as UGA scored three straight to take a 25-24 lead.
Robinson hit a shot to even the match at 25 and an attack error by Georgia gave UT match point again, 26-25. Georgia would not go quietly, scoring three consecutive points to earn the set point, 28-26.
The fourth frame was a seesaw battle between both teams, as UGA and UT split the first 14 points. Down 8-7, kills from Baker and Robinson, a solo block by Harrison and a UGA attack error gave Tennessee an 11-8 advantage. The Lady Vols would not relinquish that lead until the Bulldogs tied the fourth frame up at 16.
Georgia took a slim 20-19 lead, but it wouldn't last long as UT would rattle off the next four points. Kills from Cikra and Baker, a Brice serving ace and an attack error vaulted Tennessee to a 23-20 advantage..UT would not look back as a Baker smash made the score 24-21 and Jasmine Brown gave the Lady Vols the set, 25-21, with an ace.
Following four straight on the road, the Lady Vols return home for a pair of matches, beginning on Friday with a showdown against No. 13 Florida at 7 p.m. ET. The match against UF will be a battle of two of the top teams in the SEC, as each squad will enter the match with only one conference loss. Earlier this season, Tennessee downed the Gators on the road in a five-set thriller, which was nationally televised on ESPNU.

I posted about this in my last status, but the concept seemed to be lost to a few people. So I figured it better to explain in-depth here.
I won't go blow-by-blow of the dream (I don't even think I could if I wanted to) but the jist was that my family and I were randomly transported back to 2006. I don't know how or why but when I woke up I was super weirded out. I remember feeling very lonely because we were all unable to see anyone we knew during that time, due to us being 7 years older and not wanting to cause some sort of paradox.
For some reason we moved Montreal, I believe it was because we thought it would be too dangerous to keep on living on the US. Eventually we'd get spotted or something and then everything would go to hell. We were also REALLY careful not to affect anything about the future, even monetarily.
Anyways, that's what I meant when asking what would you do if you suddenly found yourself in 2006? Sure you could visit your past self, but could you be sure it wouldn't cause some sort of paradox? What if the government found you and kidnapped you? For me, I think the hardest part would be not being able to visit past family and friends for seven years (until your past self traveled back). But then how would you explain being older and all the other complications that come along with time travel?
So what would your plan on action be?

Not a "fern bar liberal": Having previously defended anti-gay comments, Caplis prided himself on "loving and respecting gays"
Research ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
On his September 18 630 KHOW-AM show, co-host Dan Caplis stated, "I walk the talk when it comes to loving and respecting gays" -- in contrast to what he characterized as "a lot of these fern bar liberals who like to throw around the word 'bigot' and then never go out and actually show respect to gay people." Caplis said later: "I view homosexuality as abnormal. Does that mean that I disrespect gays? No, not at all, and I've proven that."
As Colorado Media Matters has documented, Caplis has displayed a pattern of indulging disrespect toward gay people. On the September 5 broadcast of The Caplis & Silverman Show, for example, he defended the use of a "derogatory comment" if "a gay person" makes "a sloppy pass" at a man in a bar. Also, Caplis on previous shows has expressed the view that "gay sex is not natural" and baselessly claimed that "the vast majority of people" likely agreed with his belief that "the act [of homosexuality] itself is immoral."
During the September 18 broadcast, Caplis and co-host Craig Silverman were discussing a study that, according to a Denver Post article published that day, claimed to have found "that it is possible, through religious mediation, to change one's sexual orientation."
From the September 18 broadcast of 630 KHOW-AM's The Caplis & Silverman Show:
SILVERMAN: Dan, do you think any religious teaching could get you to change from being a heterosexual?
CAPLIS: To a homosexual?
SILVERMAN: Yes.
CAPLIS: No.
SILVERMAN: All right, so wouldn't the converse be true? Somebody who's homosexual most likely can't be changed?
CAPLIS: Well, I don't know, but I don't accept that logic.
SILVERMAN: Why?
CAPLIS: Because -- well, first, the starting point. And, again, you know, the, the, the normal information I have to give you, because the first series of calls will be, "You're a bigot, you're this, you're that." Nonsense. I'm the guy who's had gay roommates, been very happy and comfortable with my gay roommates. I represent gays. I, I hire gays. So none of this is about bigotry. I walk the talk when it comes to loving and respecting gays -- unlike a lot of these fern bar liberals who like to throw around the word "bigot" and then never go out and actually show respect to gay people. But that aside, I just don't know. But, but my starting point is that I think heterosexuality is normal. I think it's the, the way we're supposed to be. It's obviously normal and natural when it comes to procreation, which is an essential function of human beings and et cetera. So I view heterosexuality as normal. I, I view homosexuality as abnormal. Does that mean that I disrespect gays? No, not at all, and I've proven that. So I, I just don't accept the starting point logic. Your logic asks, can any amount of religion change me or counseling change me from something normal to something I view as abnormal. I think that's different than asking me whether any amount of religion or counseling can change me from being something abnormal to something abnormal -- normal. But with that said, listen: I don't know, bottom line, whether being gay is a choice or not. I don't know whether that can be changed through counseling.

The Empire, having licked its wounds, quickly reestablished a presence on Kashyyyk and enslaved the Wookiees once more. Around 5 ABY Han Solo and Chewbacca assisted in inciting a revolution among the populace, helped in part by Lando Calrissian, Rogue Squadron, and Admiral Ackbar who took on Grand Admiral Peccati Syn in a pitched fleet-battle in the nearby Sumitra sector.

Practical Criticism
From Modernism Lab Essays
by Joshua Gang
IA Richards' Practical Criticism: A Study of Literary Judgment, published in 1929, comprised something of a departure from Richards' earlier pieces of literary theory, including The Meaning of Meaning (1923, with C.K. Ogden) and Principles of Literary Criticism (1926). Where these earlier works were concerned with more hypothetical examples of interpretation, Richards wanted Practical Criticism to focus on actual readings done by actual readers. Practical Criticism, Richards wrote, was "the record of a piece of field-work in comparative ideology."[1] Such field-work had three goals:
First, to introduce a new kind of documentation to those who are interested in the contemporary state of culture…Secondly, to provide a new technique for those who wish to discover for themselves what they think and feel about poetry…Thirdly, to prepare the way for education methods more efficient than those we use now…to understand what we hear and read. (3)
The method Richards employed to achieve these goals was fairly straightforward but unprecedented in literary criticism: Richards would present to his seminar of undergraduates at Cambridge thirteen poems wholly stripped of any identifying marks and then examine the ways his students interpreted these decontextualized texts. Richards hope was to move literary criticism away from historical and psychological studies of authors and reconvene it around the cognitive processes of "the general reader." Practical Criticism was a catalogue of these readers' interpretations, along with Richards' comments about their interpretations and conclusions about his study's findings. After reading the "stock responses" and "doctrinal adhesions" of his students, Richards claimed that most readers were unable to discuss their reactions to poetry with any objectivity or clarity. But the problem, he argued, lay not in the poems themselves but in "our feebleness in introspection and our ignorance of the general nature of feelings" (208). The solution to this problem, Richards concluded, was a psychology that would "ignore none of the facts and yet demolish none of the values that human experience has shown to be necessary. An account of poetry will be a pivotal point in such a psychology" (304).
Also included were four appendices. The first two appendices offered further comments about the nature of poetic language and interpretation. The third appendix presented identifications of the thirteen poems that Richards distributed while the fourth appendix comprised the full texts of these poems, though with any identifying marks once again removed. The thirteen poems were: an excerpt from Phillip Bailey's Festus; Christina Rossetti's "Spring Quiet"; John Donne's "Holy Sonnet VII"; an excerpt from G.A. Studdert Kennedy's More Rough Rhymes of a Padre; an excerpt from Edna St Vincent Millay's The Harp Weaver; Gerard Manley Hopkins' "Spring and Fall, to a young child"; J.D. Pellew's "The Temple"; D.H. Lawrence's "Piano"; Alfred Noyes' "For the Eightieth Birthday of George Meredith"; an untitled poem by G.H. Luce; Thomas Hardy's "George Meredith (1828-1909)"; an excerpt from Wilfred Rowland Childe's Ivory Palaces; and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "In the Churchyard at Cambridge."
Richards' approach in Practical Criticism proved to be enormously influential—not just in its methodological approach (New Criticism's close reading was openly indebted to this element of Richards' work) but also in its cognitivist approach to literary form and aesthetic experience. "There is no gap," Richards wrote, "between our everyday emotional life and the material of poetry. The verbal expression of this life, at its finest, is forced to use the technique of poetry; that is the only essential difference" (300).

Disney earnings rise despite "John Carter" loss
By Lisa Richwine and Ronald Grover
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Walt Disney Co's quarterly earnings beat Wall Street expectations as profit rose 21 percent despite a loss from the science fiction film bomb "John Carter."
Strong attendance at theme parks and higher advertising revenue at cable networks, including sports powerhouse ESPN, helped drive quarterly growth.
The earnings report followed a massive opening weekend for "The Avengers," a superhero movie that set an industry record with ticket sales of $207.4 million over its first weekend. An "Avengers" movie sequel is in the works, Chief Executive Bob Iger told analysts.
The company's film studio needed a hit after "Carter," a $250 million production that dragged the company's studio unit to an operating loss of $84 million for the fiscal second quarter. Studio chief Rich Ross stepped down April 13 after the film flopped.
Despite the studio loss, Disney posted fiscal second quarter earnings of $1.1 billion and a 6 percent increase in revenue to $9.629 billion.
Adjusted earnings per share rose 18 percent to 58 cents. Analysts on average had expected 55 cents.
As in recent quarters, Disney's earnings were boosted by its media unit, which includes ESPN and ABC. Operating earnings in that unit increased 13 percent to $1.7 billion in the latest quarter.
Visitors kept filling Disney theme parks, and the Disneyland resort in California set a second-quarter attendance record, Chief Financial Officer Jay Rasulo said. Earnings at the theme park unit rose 53 percent to $222 million. Continued...

Replace the County Courthouse with a Park
It must have been a 60's thing but the beautiful classic courthouse was bulldozed and replaed by one of the ugliest structures of our time. People giving directions to the Courthouse often say, "Look for the big black box." Outside, it is falling to disrepair with "do not enter" signs, broken fixtures, locked black doors, and a depressing interior. Move the County offices which could free up more storefronts for commercial enterprises one sees in other historic districts. Meanwhile, the City Hall continues to fall apart and is an embarrasment to those of us who take pride in this city.

Exclusive: Bank probes find manipulation in Singapore's offshore FX market - source
By Rachel Armstrong
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Internal reviews by banks in Singapore have found evidence that traders colluded to manipulate rates in the offshore foreign exchange market, according to a source with knowledge of the inquiries.
The discovery widens a global lending rate scandal into new markets, as fallout from the Libor case puts banks under added scrutiny and spurs both regulators and institutions to reconsider how certain key interest and currency rates are set.
The probes found evidence showing that traders from several banks communicated with each other over electronic messaging about what rates they were going to submit for the local banking association's fixings for non-deliverable foreign exchange forwards (NDFs), aiming to benefit their trading books.
"Traders were talking to traders, saying: 'I need you to help me today, I need to fix low,'" said the bank source, who asked not to be identified due to the confidential nature of the reviews.
NDFs are derivatives that let companies and investors hedge or speculate on emerging market currencies when exchange controls make it difficult for foreigners to participate directly in the spot market.
The contracts are settled in dollars, so there is no exchange of the underlying currency, but they can affect spot exchange rates.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore ordered banks that help set local interbank lending rates and NDF rates to review the fixing process last year as U.S. and British regulators cracked down on manipulation of the London interbank offered rate (Libor), a benchmark used to set interest rates for around $600 trillion worth of securities.
The investigations into Libor led to fines of $1.5 billion for UBS AG UBSN.VX and $451 million for Barclays Plc (BARC.L: Quote) for rate rigging. Regulatory probes stemming from the Libor cases in the United States and Britain have also revealed evidence of attempted manipulation of benchmark interbank lending rates in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Australia.

White House Caves, To Turn Over Benghazi Emails
The White House plans to give the Senate Intelligence Committee access to emails next week related to the controversial CIA talking points about the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, Fox News reported Friday.
Citing a congressional source, the network said the administration had agreed to a request from committee members to review the emails.
Republican lawmakers have charged that the talking points on the Sept. 11, 2012, attack were deliberately watered down and provided an inaccurate account of what really happened when delivered on Sunday talk shows by United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice five days after the attack.
