While I published a list of 100 blunders, lies, gaffes, and bad policies the day before President Obama's hundredth in office, I was kicking myself for not publishing mine a little earlier because the New York Post beat me to the punch.
I must say I am a little partial to mine because the New York Post's list has several items on it that I don't consider valid criticisms of Obama in his first hundred days as President.
Here they are with my responses:
9. Turkey tried to block the appointment of Anders Fogh Rasmussen as new NATO secretary general because he didn't properly punish the Danish cartoonist who caricatured Mohammed. France's Nicolas Sarkozy and Germany's Angela Merkel were outraged; Obama said he supported Turkey's induction into the European Union.That's a little more of a criticism of Turkey than it is of Obama. Sarkozy and Merkel may have been outraged, but does that mean that they don't support Turkey's induction into the EU? And Obama may support Turkey's induction into the EU, but does that mean he wasn't outraged by Turkey's move to block Rasmussen's appointment? The link here is a little too tenuous. There's way too much other good stuff to waste a spot on the list with this.
19. Nixes a "buy American" provision in the stimulus bill.That's actually a really good thing. My criticism of him would be that he put such a provision in the bill to begin with and that he only removed it in a bow to strong political pressure (along with reason and history, not to mention). Protectionist policies that restrict international trade have an unequivocally, empirically-proven, and theoretically-predictable NEGATIVE effect on a nation's economy. During the Great Depression, when the government passed a battery of legislation to stimulate the economy, one piece was the Smoot Hawley Tariff (essentially a "buy American" bill), and it measurably plunged the world into an even deeper and worse depression than we would have had.
23. Sanjay Gupta was in discussions to become Surgeon General, but the TV personality withdrew after he was criticized for his flimsy political record.Weak. Does that really classify as a gaffe, mistake, or blunder? Essentially that says "Someone was being considered for a cabinet position, but didn't make it through the vetting process because they were under-qualified." Isn't that actually a success of Obama's vetting process (probably like, the only success of his vetting process... insert joke about tax evasion here)? If Gupta had gotten hired with a flimsy political record, wouldn't that be the blunder?
24. Rasmussen finds 58% of Americans believe the Obama administration's release of CIA memos endangers the national security of the United States.That's not technically Obama's mistake- it's a bunch of Americans' opinions. But assuming that you are using their opinions to highlight his mistake, which you believe is his release of CIA memos, then say so directly. I would be inclined to consider the actions those memos describe as more dangerous to our national security than the memos themselves. We have got to end these reckless wars and the questionable tactics we use in pursuing them.
25. Only 28% think the Obama administration should do any further investigating of how the Bush administration treated terrorism suspects.Once again, that's a poll result, not an example of an Obama Administration mistake, gaffe, or blunder.
26. "Obama thanked CIA employees for their work and said they're invaluable to national security. He explained his decision to release the memos, then told everyone not to feel bad because he was now acknowledging potential mistakes. Theirs, not his. 'That's how we learn,' Obama said, as though soothing a room full of fourth-graders." -- The Oklahoman, 4/23Look... I think for a President who has clamored so much for transparency, Barack Obama is a lying hypocrite of the worst magnitude for going back on his promises of transparency so shamelessly. That said, I would be sorely amiss to criticize him for actually pursuing some degree of transparency in this area by creating a more open conversation about what's going on. And that said, I would be sorely amiss not to mention that he's even more a hypocrite because he's acting as if he's cleaning things up with the CIA by releasing these memos, yet he signed an executive order allowing them to continue the practice of "renditions."
35. "You're sitting here. And you're -- you are laughing. You are laughing about some of these problems. Are people going to look at this and say, 'I mean, he's sitting there just making jokes about money--' How do you deal with -- I mean: Explain. Are you punch-drunk?" -- Steve Kroft, "60 Minutes," 3/22Heh?
40. Obama lifts travel and remittance restrictions on Cuba.*Repeat of the whole spiel about international trade I wrote above.* If Obama doesn't end up lifting the entire embargo on trade with Cuba (or trying very hard to) by his thousandth day in office, I'll be criticizing him for that on my list of 1000 blunders. Trade with Cuba would be a phenomenal boon to the American economy. It'll do far more than the stimulus package did to stimulate growth (which admittedly isn't hard since the stimulus package did harm to growth... an eight year old with a lemonade stand does more to stimulate economic growth than the stimulus package did). This is one area where I am happy with the direction the present administration is headed.
Seriously, how on Earth could you consider this a criticism? What is your argument here?
41. Obama considers dropping the embargo on Cuba.
42. After warming signs from Raul Castro, Fidel Castro says Obama "misinterpreted" his brother's words, and that Cuba would not be willing to negotiate about human rights.How does the New York Post feel about the human right to trade free from forcible interference by others?
Here's a bigger criticism- that Obama allows America to keep its military nuclear facilities. America wants to end nuclear proliferation? Good, me too. Guess where we can start... with the first country to ever build nuclear weapons and the only country that ever used them against another- the U.S.A. We need to be the change we want to see in the world.
43. Obama is considering dropping a key demand to Iran, allowing it to keep nuclear facilities open during negotiations.
Translation: "In a letter to Dmitri Medvedev, Obama offered to back away from a policy of nuclear one-ups-manship and meddling overseas that will cost millions of taxpayer dollars and worsen relations with another major country in exchange for help in pursuing the use of diplomacy to resolve nuclear proliferation in an unstable region of the world." That's a criticism?
44. In a letter to Dmitri Medvedev, Obama offered to drop plans for a missile shield in Europe in exchange for Russia's help in resolving the nuclear weapons issue in Iran.
That's not Obama's blunder. It's Medvedev's.
45. Medvedev said he would not "haggle" on Iran and the missile shield.
56. For an April 14 speech at Georgetown, the administration asked the university to cover up all signs and symbols -- including the letters "IHS" in gold, a symbol for Jesus.That's not an anti-Christian thing. The administration just didn't want any signs or symbols on the stage that would distract from Obama's purpose and message in speaking there. He's the President, and his job is not to endorse Jesus or any other religious figure, but to maintain a civil society, which he's frankly sucking at doing, so he should probably give that some more work before he takes on any new responsibilities like evangelizing for Christianity. (Full disclosure: I am a Christian, and this did not offend me.)
Good on you for pointing out more broken promises and inconsistencies, but I did want to mention that this is one that I'm glad he's breaking.
67. Obama quietly announced that he would not press for new labor and environmental regulations in the North American Free Trade Agreement, going back on a campaign promise.
70. "By any measure, my administration has inherited a fiscal disaster." -- ObamaThat's not a mistake. It's totally, 100% true. Obama's blunder is to think that inheriting a fiscal disaster is a license to make that fiscal disaster even worse.
89. "It has become apparent during this process that this will not work for me as I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the Census, there are irresolvable conflicts for me." -- Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.), who became the second failed Commerce Secretary nomineeNot really a blunder, gaffe, or mistake. If it was anybody's mistake, it was Sen. Judd Gregg's. It was kind of funny though.
This is a valid criticism, but your figure's off... his inauguration cost more than three times that figure.
91. The $49 million inauguration -- triple what taxpayers spent at Bush's first inauguration.
And for the sake of everything that's good and holy... put your freaking list on ONE PAGE!

CLEMSON, S.C. - Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie said her team found a way to get better despite another runaway over Clemson.
McCallie thought the fifth-ranked Blue Devils gave up way too many points in their 80-72 showdown victory over No. 8 Maryland last Monday, so she was especially pleased that her players' defense never wavered in an 81-37 victory over the Tigers on Friday night.
Tricia Liston had 16 points and Elizabeth Williams 14. But it was the team's staunch defense that really got McCallie smiling.
"I think they were listening to the points we gave up against Maryland," McCallie said. "Maryland's a very good team, don't misunderstand me, but 72 points at home, that's a lot of baskets going in."
The Blue Devils will put their 34-game home winning streak on the line Monday when they host No. 3 Connecticut. The Huskies were the last team to beat Duke at home two seasons ago.
Duke (17-2, 8-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) made sure most shots by the Tigers didn't go in. Clemson finished 14 of 51 from the floor for 27.5 percent shooting, its second poorest performance this season. The Blue Devils had 12 steals and nine blocks, five of them by Williams.
Clemson didn't have a field goal over the last 13 minutes and didn't have a point in the final eight as Duke won its 15th straight over the Tigers (5-13, 1-6) and 11th straight this season.
"When they work really, really hard to get certain things done, then you feel pretty good about what you're doing out there," McCallie said. "I think that was exactly the case tonight."
Duke used a 15-2 run the last five minutes of the opening half to gain control and continued the surge after the break. It was the eighth straight game they've defeated Clemson by 24 points or more.
Williams, the 6-foot-3 freshman, said the Blue Devils' surge got the team going and possibly shook Clemson out of rhythm. "That's when we started playing our game," she said.
Quinyotta Pettaway had 12 points to lead the Tigers, who scored just 13 points in the second half.
Richa Jackson finished with 13 points and Haley Peters 12 for Duke, which finished 34 of 65 shooting from the field (52.7 percent) - the third straight game it shot 50 percent or better.
The Tigers succumbed to Duke's defense in the second half. They didn't hit a field goal in the final 13:09 of the game and didn't have a point the last 7:51.
Clemson coach Itoro Coleman thought her players lost composure, particularly in the second half against Duke's relentlessness play on offense and defense. "Basketball is a game of runs," she said. "We have to learn to withstand the storm and bounce back."
Duke came in the only undefeated team in ACC play this season. Clemson, though, did what it could to make Littlejohn as crazy Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Tigers called it "Pack The House" night, offering $1 tickets and giving away bobble-head dolls of second-year coach Itoro Coleman, who won five games against Duke when she was a star guard for the Tigers from 1996-1999.
Duke's only lost once to Clemson in the 13 seasons since.
Clemson's pep band and students wore red and yellow flashing glasses. Yet, as you might expect from a program that won its 300th game all-time in the ACC over No. 8 Maryland on Monday, the Blue Devils weren't fazed by any of it.
Duke, which had made more than 55 percent of its shots the previous two games, kept up the hot shooting against Clemson in the opening half. The Blue Devils finished the period 18 of 32 from floor (56.2 percent) and made seven of their final nine shots as they closed the half on 15-2 run and continually beat the Tigers back on defense for several easy layups.
Williams led the way for Duke on offense and defense. She made 5 of 7 shots for 11 points and added five blocks in the opening half, surpassing her average of 4.7 blocks per game during ACC play.
Clemson tried to make a game of it early on with a 9-4 spurt at the start that had the few thousand fans on their feet. The Tigers were still in the thick of it, down just 25-22 on Chancie Dunn's bucket with 5:22 to go.
That's when Duke got going on its run at the end of the half to take control for good.
Williams fed Peters for a layup, then Williams had a driving layup of her own. After Jackson's inside basket, Peters got free for two straight layups and Williams had another.
Jackson closed the half with a three-point play and Duke was up 40-24.
Clemson struggled to find offense, going 1 of 5 with two turnovers during the Blue Devils run.
The Tigers were just 1 of 13 from behind the arc for the contest.

Conscious Communication
In Kundalini Yoga, communication is everything. We create our world through communication. We manifest our spirit through communication. We can destroy ourselves or someone we love with incorrect communication. So the science of communication is very thoroughly studied, and of the upmost importance.
Understanding conscious communication involves many different dimensions. How we speak to ourselves; how we speak to others; matching the communication with the purpose; deep listening; learning to communicate from chakra to chakra. All these aspects are involved in developing the art of conscious communication.
The Kundalini Research Institute (KRI) offers a course on Conscious Communication through their Level 2 Kundalini Yoga Certification Program.
What is Conscious Communication?

Former Buffalo Bills QB Jim Kelly battling cancer of the jaw; set for surgery June 7
BATAVIA, N.Y. – Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly says he has been diagnosed with cancer in his upper jaw bone and will have surgery on June 7.
Kelly is suffering from squamous cell carcinoma, but he has recently undergone tests to show that the cancer is isolated in his jaw and has not spread to other parts of his body.
"The past couple of weeks have been difficult for me," Kelly says. "Because of the nature of social media, I thought it would be best to share with everyone what has been going on with my health."
The announcement was made Monday morning, just before the start of the quarterback's Kelly For Kids charitable foundation's annual celebrity golf tournament.
"Doctors have told me that my prognosis for recovery is very good," he says.
Kelly spent 11 seasons with the Bills before retiring following the 1996 campaign. He still holds nearly every significant career franchise passing record — 35,467 yards, 237 touchdowns and 26 300-yard games — and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2002.

The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards named an Oceanside Middle School student one of New York's top youth volunteers of 2013.
The national program, which focuses on outstanding volunteer service, honored Cory Nichols, 12, for his work with local food pantries as part of his program, "C the Difference: Cory Cares."
After watching a short film called "Hard Times Lost on Long Island" in the summer of 2012, Nichols pledged to raise money and donate $100 worth of food per month to local food pantries as part of his Bar Mitzvah project for Temple Avodah. The program quickly grew beyond the mitzvah project and Nichols said he plans to continue it at least until he graduates from high school.
"I loved seeing the smiles on their faces when I stock the shelves," Nichols said. "They have such a smile that I was helping them, it was really nice to see and I could feel how appreciated it was."
Nichols created his own website for the project, Cthedifference.org, and solicited donations from friends and family. For each donation Nichols receives, he sends orange Cory Cares bracelets, which he bought with his own money.
After approximately eight months, Nichols has raised $3,700, well above his goal per month. His mother, Jess Nichols, said that he has received donations of anywhere from $5 to $500 for the project.
"The person who runs the food pantries emails me and tells me what they need," Nichols explained. "And then we get whatever they need and go and stock the shelves."
Though Nichols raised a surplus of money, the local pantries asked him to continue to provide only $100 per month. The reasoning, Jess explained, was that the food pantries appreciate having a set amount of money to purchase food for a long period of time. As of now, Nichols will be able to donate food to the pantries every month through June 2015.
In the weeks after Hurricane Sandy, C the Difference temporarily changed its methods.
"After Sandy, we went out and got food and we stood in [St. Anthony's] and packed bags with loaves of bread, boxes of pasta," said Nichols, whose family was without power like many others in Oceanside. "We packed like 200 bags of everything people would need."

Early Earth's Force Field main content.
by AMNH on
A collection of small, clear quartz crystals unearthed in South Africa has given researchers from the University of Rochester a new clue about when our planet's magnetic field formed. In the northern Limpopo province of South Africa, an arid, rocky terrain called Barberton Mountain Land has some of Earth's oldest exposed stone—some more than three billion years old. By studying magnetized metal particles within ancient quartz found there, researchers discovered that the crystals formed in the presence of Earth's magnetic field. The field that enveloped the planet at that time was only about half as strong as it is today, the scientists say. This discovery implies that our planet generated a weak magnetic field as far back as 3.4 billion years ago, well before the atmosphere became rich with oxygen (about 2.3 billion years ago).
This force field protected our young planet from high-energy charged particles in the solar wind and high-energy radiation emanating from the Sun. Now, billions of years later, this magnetic field sustains our current atmosphere. Without the protective shielding, charged particles streaming from the Sun would rip apart the water and oxygen in our atmosphere. Researchers think that the presence of our planet's magnetic field was important for the development and survival of life on Earth as we currently know it.

S.C. Insurance News Service
COLUMBIA – Snow and ice from Monday's winter storm were a factor in about 2,000 auto accidents across South Carolina through Tuesday, according to the state Highway Patrol.
"Icy conditions also may pose a threat to homes and businesses," said Russ Dubisky, executive director of the S.C. Insurance News Service.
For car owners who have experienced damage, the S.C. Insurance News Service offers the following tips on how to file an insurance claim:
Dr. Barry Beasley is the new executive director of the Lancaster-based Katawba Valley Land Trust.
Beasley succeeds Dr. Austin Jenkins as director of the trust. Jenkins left the post in August to begin teaching at the university level.
"We are indeed fortunate to have found such a well-qualified and gifted individual to lead us into the future," said Lindsay Pettus, president of the land trust. "We are excited to expand our efforts to protect natural and cultural resources and to share our story with the communities we serve."
A Lancaster man was charged Wednesday, four days after authorities say he accidentally shot a man Saturday in Heath Springs.
Cameron Leroy Maier, 20, of 4424 Fletcher Funderburk Road, Lancaster, turned himself in to deputies at the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office at about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Deputies responded early Saturday morning to a shooting at a field located near 1079 Wendover Road. There they found Thomas Sutter, 20, of Lancaster had been shot in the back during a bonfire and party, according to a sheriff's office press release.
As helicopters buzzed overhead, deputies and first responders arrived at the scene of a double shooting on Shiloh Unity Road Thursday afternoon.
The shooting involved three family members – Spoffard James Evans, 41; his father, Dwight Spencer Evans, 65, both of 3522 Shiloh Unity Road, and Jataune Tyrone Richardson, 34, of 3546 Shiloh Unity Road, according to a sheriff's office press release. Richardson is the son-in-law of the senior Evans.
Dangerous black ice, icy roads in neighborhoods and rural areas, unsafe parking lots and sidewalks, and plunging temperatures mean schools will be closed again Friday.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Less than a week into his first term as U.S. Congressman, Mick Mulvaney participated in a joint conference call with hundreds of House members about security after the shooting of a Congresswoman last Saturday.

If there ever was a polar opposite of the snow that fell three weeks ago in Lancaster County, this week's snow storm was it.
The former, much anticipated and brief, came the day after Christmas, settling postcard beautiful. The roads, for the most part, left unscathed and open.
Then there was this one, drab and gray, a snow event that started off lovely enough, but soon turned to sleet and freezing rain, leaving roads nearly impassible and slick as hockey rinks. The effects are still being felt.

INDIAN LAND – Just two days after Lancaster County Council approved first reading of the ordinance to establish the Indian Land Fire Protection District, you might think the Indian Land Action Council (ILAC) would be starting to relax their campaign.
Not so.
Instead, the group held another Q&A session on the subject at the Del Webb Library on Thursday night, this time drawing about 45 community members. That's more than four times the number at its Q&A at the same location last month.
"Sir, please empty your pockets and step through the scanner."
The U.S. Capitol policeman held out a bucket into which I quickly placed my watch, wedding ring, wallet and phone. My bag and coat took a trip through an X-ray machine and I spent quite a few minutes having my various forms of ID scrutinized.
With my hands outstretched, I was wanded with a metal detector and only then was I finally cleared to head into the Longworth Building, a large office structure sitting in the U.S. Capitol's backyard.

The Lancaster County Forfeited Land Commission has agreed to move forward with a proposal by Charlotte-based real estate developers to purchase Indian Land's troubled Edenmoor residential development.
The announcement came during a commission meeting Friday with representatives of Citizens Homes Inc. and Reilly Properties, a partnership interested in buying 222 Edenmoor parcels. The Edenmoor land became available for bid in early December.
In winning the bid, the companies beat out L Star of Raleigh.

You can add garam masala if you don't have kitchen king.

Chris, you're assuming that the only people worth citing are authors. If you're dealing with reported speech, you need to cite the person, as there's no other object to attribute those words to.
The point of the WHAT-WG redefinition is to change <cite> into an element for styling purposes only. (I.e., "Book titles are italicized. <cite> by default italicizes text. Therefore, <cite> should be only for titles.") If you want to use HTML to apply that styling, then, congratulations! HTML5 gives you two elements (<cite> and <i>) whose only purpose is to say "this is italicized text."
Because it's possible to "cite" people in passing as well as in dialog—the list goes on—it would be ideal for the HTML5 specification of <cite> to accommodate the use-cases Jeremy describes. It makes the element more useful: It's not just a styling hook but something that provides semantic value.


text: Variable-Rate Irrigation Technology, Resources March 8, 2013 11:00 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email The following information is a Web Extra from the pages of Farm Journal. It corresponds with the article "Calculated Precipitation." You can find the article in Farm Journal's 2013 March issue. Interested in exploring what variable-rate irrigation might bring to your operation? Here's a look at what four major center-pivot manufacturers are offering: T-L Irrigation Variable-rate irrigation is available with T-L Irrigation center pivot management control systems. This enables growers to manage the water application by controlling the speed of the system, says Clark Bauer, the company's U.S. sales manager. T-L Irrigation has partnered with AgSense and CropMetrics to provide these products and services. Using variable-rate application allows farmers to provide multiple water prescriptions within a field using a single center pivot. Variable-rate technology captures information about factors such as the terrain and soil and turns it into useable data. Prescriptions developed with CropMetrics Precision Irrigation Management Services can be put into practice using T-L's remote-management product Precision Link and the Precision Point III (PPC III) Control Panel. A new, one-time CropMetrics VRI Rx App Lifetime License is part of T-L's variable-rate application offerings. Click here to visit the T-L Irrigation website for more information. Lindsay Corporation The following video from Lindsay Corporation explains how its Precision VRI system can help growers optimize their water use. Click here for more information on the Lindsay website. Valley Irrigation Valley VRI features a combination of hardware and software allowing growers to adjust the desired amount of water in a sector (VRI Speed Control) or management zone (VRI Zone Control). Irrigation application can be programmed to match specific field conditions, including a variety of soil types and topography. Cole Fredrick, VRI product manager for Valley Irrigation, says this technology is here to stay. Depending on how prescriptions are applied and the goal of the grower, he says, using this technology may increase total yields, optimizing the productivity of the management zones in the field. But Fredrick sees VRI helping growers not only maximize yields but also profitability. Click here to watch a video demonstration of Valley Irrigation's VRI zone control system.

Steve Dunleavy Doesn't Zip His Fly For Anybody
The Steve "Sex on a stick" Dunleavy reminiscences keep pouring in! And the rabid, drunken Post hack grows into an ever more sympathetic figure as his retirement party draws closer. Today, three more wistful remembrances of Steve; though all involve drinking, only the last one involves him walking around with his dick out:
- From Paul Malmont: "I was in a car with him on the way to Amityville, hearing great stories about his career. For example, he had once slit the tires on his own father's (also a reporter) car to keep him from beating Steve to a story. Another thing he was quite proud of was he claimed to have written the book that killed Elvis. Apparently it was rumored that a book Steve had written, Elvis - What Happened? had been pried from The King's cold dead fingers - he had been reading it on the toilet when he'd had a heart attack. After A Current Affair I went to work on the rookie season of Good Day New York - Fox's local morning show. My job was to get in early, get the coffee going and pull gossip stories from the wire. When I say early, I mean like 4AM early. On more than one occasion I would come in to find Steve and several author Aussie reporters and producers crashed out on office desks they had pushed together. Apparently they would drink hard at the Racing Club across the street and not bother going home."
- "When ever Steve was covering a mob trial that was being heard in Brooklyn, he would stop into my local watering hole which was a Thai restaurant with a bar in front that seated about ten. The crowd was always mixed, middle age Gays and Brooklyn Heights locals . Steve would come in and after two visits knew and remembered everybodys name. Over the course of an evening he would consume about 10 to 15 drinks and still appear coherent . He would then use the pay phone to phone his story in and uaually a drive came in to scoop him up and drive him home. The first time he came in I was wary of speaking to him knowing his politics and the Post's. But the funny thing is he never pushed his politics at the bar Instead he would talk of mob trials old time Hollywood , New York , movies and whatnot. He was actually fun to talk, never condescending. He had a great memory. Never saw him drop dead drunk but I heard the stories and seeing him in action I can believe them."
- "A favorite Steve story told by reporters covering the Michael Jackson child molestation trial is how he would turn up in the middle of the day or later, already trademark soused. One day he was so drunk he came out of the courthouse men's room having forgotten to tuck himself back in, let alone do his fly up, and walked unsteadily away down the corridor, to the gapes of onlookers."

West Nile Virus found in Orange County Mosquitoes
Orange County, Texas – Orange County Mosquito Control District was informed by the Texas Department of Health that a collection of mosquitoes from Orange County has tested positive for West Nile Virus. The mosquitoes testing positive for West Nile Virus were collected on Aug. 1 from an area on the west side of the County – North of IH-10, East of HWY 105, West of Doty Rd. and South of Sawmill Road, in Vidor.
This is the first sample of mosquitoes testing positive for the West Nile Virus in Orange County in 2012. This information concludes the virus is cycling between the birds and the mosquitoes in the area.
It is important for everyone to take personal protective measures to protect themselves from mosquito bites regardless of what area it is that they live in throughout the county. Currently, West Nile virus activity in Texas is as follows: bird's 57, humans 301, mosquitoes collections 759, and horses 10; totaling 1,127. West Nile virus activity has been detected in 38 counties in Texas so far this year.
Treatments in the area have been increased and we are following up with additional mosquito collections and the testing of samples from the area to determine whether or not viral activity still exists. These procedures will continue until we receive negative results from the T.D.H. labs.
Our surveillance program collects mosquitoes throughout the county on a weekly basis. Those samples are then sent to the Texas Department of Health's Bureau of Laboratory's in Austin to test for viral presence. The tests normally take about a week before we get the results back.
With mosquitoes and West Nile Virus circulating in the state, residents need to take personal protective measures when outdoors to protect themselves from mosquito bites. One of the first lines of defense against contracting the illness is the use of repellents containing DEET when mosquito activity is present. According to TDH, 77 percent of the people who got the more serious forms of West Nile infection in 2003 did not use repellents.
Other personal protective measures to reduce exposure to mosquitoes are moving indoors at dust and dawn when many mosquito species are most active, wearing light colored loose fitting clothing as a physical barrier from the mosquito and draining standing water from property.
Although, one percent or less of humans who are bitten by an infected mosquito will become significantly sick or show signs or symptoms anyone can become infected with West Nile Virus. Individuals age 50 and above are at greater risk, especially those whom have medical problems or compromised immune systems. This group can develop the more serious forms of the illness including encephalitis and meningitis.
Symptoms of West Nile virus appear from three to 14 days after a person is bitten by an infected mosquito. West Nile virus infections usually are mild with flu-like symptoms including fever, headache, sore throat, body aches and fatigue.
Symptoms of more severe West Nile infections are headache, high fever, stiff neck, disorientation, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, coma and paralysis. If you have these symptoms, contact your health care provider right away.

Is there any U.S. governmental agency that spends money as recklessly and with as little oversight as the Department of Defense (DoD)? Considering the amount of money that is allocated to the DoD, they operate with far too little scrutiny. Military spending represents approximately 20% of the total federal budget. Only the Department of Health & Human Services and the Social Security Administration have larger budgets than the DoD. Lately, there has been a lot of talk about the 'devastating' budget cuts that are in store for the DoD as a result of the budget sequestration agreement. The table below shows that the 'devastating' cuts are so small as to be unnoticeable. The primary cost reductions in the DoD's budget are only achieved as a result of ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The American Military Industrial Complex is not being reduced in any meaningful manner. Anyone interested in a closer look at the amount of money America spends on 'defense' should look here: DoD FY 2013 Budget Request.

In this age of austerity when elected officials casually discuss raising the eligibility age for Social Security and Medicare benefits, why has the Pentagon been allowed to spend 65 billion dollars developing a plane that is neither necessary nor affordable? The F-35 fighter plane was once hailed as being both affordable and technologically advanced. The reality for both claims has proved far different. The F-35 has been in development for more than a decade. During test flights conducted this year, the special coating that is applied to the plane to allow it to fly undetected by enemy radar, or in 'stealth' mode, was peeling off. After a decade, the pilot's helmet is still not functioning properly. The Pentagon has already calculated that the total cost of a fleet of 2400 F-35s over a 30 year period (projected life of the plane) will exceed 1.1 trillion dollars. Assuming that their cost estimate is correct, that works out to approximately 400 million dollars per plane. Based on the Pentagon's history of wildly inaccurate cost projections, is there any reason at all to doubt that their estimate for this program might be far too low?
The F-35 is but one of many wasteful and unnecessary programs that make up U.S. military spending. The Virginia Class Submarine, the U.S. Navy's next generation of nuclear attack submarines is currently projected to cost more than 2.5 billion each. Deeming it unaffordable, the Navy voluntarily removed this program from their budget. Since there are numerous politicians fighting for this program, it is unlikely to be cancelled. The U.S. Navy also wants to upgrade their fleet of aircraft carriers. Anyone that has ever been on an aircraft carrier realizes that these vessels are simply enormous. They are also expensive. The government has already placed orders for three new aircraft carriers at a cost of 10 billion dollars each. They will be delivered over the next decade; a decade in which it is likely that spending on social programs will be severely reduced.
Most people are aware that the American military budget exceeds that of any other country on the planet. No other country even comes close to matching the amount of money that America devotes to military spending. In 2012, the combined military spending of all the nations on the planet amounted to 1.74 trillion dollars. Of that amount, America accounted for 42% of the total spending. Amazingly, even as we are being told that there is no longer the money to spend on social programs; America is still able to find the money to account for nearly half of all global military expenditures.
For the last several years the Pentagon has been desperately pushing the idea that China is a military competitor of America. A look at China's military expenditures indicates that the Pentagon is crying wolf. In 2012, China's military budget was approximately 140 billion dollars. America outspent China 5 to 1 in 2012. During the 2012 presidential campaign, Mitt Romney called Russia, "our No. 1 geopolitical foe". I wonder if he knows that Russia's military budget was 70 billion dollars in 2012. That's right, Mr. Romney, America outspent, "our No. 1 geopolitical foe" by a ratio of 10 to 1.
What drives America's military spending? Do the security threats that America faces justify the amount of money that is spent on our military? When a single country accounts for 42% of total global military expenditures it seems rather obvious that the spending priorities of that country do not reflect reality. American politicians on the left and right are demanding cuts in spending for social programs. Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security are facing cuts that will affect the poorest and most vulnerable in society. I simply cannot take seriously any person that demands cuts in social spending but remains silent on America's out of control military budget. Those interested in reducing the size of the federal budget should consider looking to the DoD.
Rumsfeld, Cheney et al
I wish I could remember the name of the film that documents the conscious decision of a small group in the intelligence and military community to sabotage the emerging cold war detente. Included is a video of a much younger Rumsfeld telling lies on television about the extent of the Soviet threat. The movement was successful and these fear mongerers have been controlling what is laughably called foreign policy ever since. There is money in fear.
I wonder how many people have seen the latest Bond film. I wish I could excerpt the Judi Dench/M speech. She implores the nation to ask themselves, "Do you feel safe?" assuming the answer will be no. She is pleading for the voting citizens who presumably determine policy to understand that the old warrior ways are still necessary. All in all, a sickening bit of propaganda embedded in popular entertainment. And so it goes. We are dominated by a paranoid world view intentionally promoted in opposition to the emerging metanoia movements of the 60's.
There's gold in them thar lies.
Sounds like Power of Nightmares
Funnily enough, this is less disturbing than 2 of Adam Curtis' other BBC documentaries, The Century of the Self and The Trap. All three of them, along with his most recent film 'All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace', are used to illustrate an overall theme of people unwittingly creating the enemy they feared in the first place.
I enjoyed Adam Curtis' films greatly, and still recommend them highly, but as I've mentioned before, Scott Noble's Meta-noia films take it to the next level. Watch Psywar if you haven't.
Thanks, chipmo
Good to see you chipmo
Looking to the future
Sickening. We don't need
42% of the global military spending
Between all the unnecessary jobs in the MIC and
just for fun, imagine if the money we gave the MIC went to
Just imagine where this country would be if our government approached climate change with the same zeal it approaches military spending. Think of what could be done with infrastructure, green energy, education and so many other programs if the DoD's budget was cut in half. The unemployment rate would be seriously reduced if some of the money that is spent for 'defense' was re-allocated to more rationale purposes.
Regarding the aircraft carriers ..
... not only are they expensive, but they are the wrong technology, to do the wrong jobs.
The US needs to trim the budget of the Navy substantially and take a butchers knife to spending on overseas army and air force bases.
I don't believe "doing the job" is the point
Not doing the job ...
... is not about analyzing the rules of how the system work, but about adressing the folkviews that rationalize and legitimize the system.
The "keep you and your kid safe from the bad peoples" is how it rationalizes the money flows ~ for the beneficiaries, its about keeping up the story to keep the money flowing.
When the bugiman de jour dies
another is created to take it's place.
The public, indoctrinated from an early age to worship the military, is easily duped by this fear mongering BS delivered by the establishment media on behalf of the establishment while as we watch our civil liberties being steadily eroded in the name of national security.
Can't people see where we are heading with this?
Foreign policies which support corrupt and oppressive regimes and seek to overthrow others that offer no threat other than to impede "US interests".
Blowback from our military misadventures creates more enemies. The D's challenged these policies when the R's were in power. Both sides support it now that the D's own the presidency, a major coup for the oligarachy.
It's part of that well-known racket that retired General Butler told us about. Money and power for the well-connected, creating more enemies with no end in sight.
If they couldn't see where that was heading in the 1950's ...
... then for larger numbers to see where we are heading with this today would require something different about how they get their information.
The main difference seems to have been fewer people watching national news, the audience still watching national news being more fractured, and those watching national news getting more of it from sources that take dictation from one corporate party or the other, and the replacement of the isolationist wing of the Republican party with a hyper-Imperial wing, which makes quite egregious warmongering look tame by comparison.
A belated thank you for an excellent essay
Great essay, Sartoris
This needs to end even though military spending is down 22.2% and curtailing GDP growth but as Marcy Wheeler said the solution is not to restore these ridiculous outlays but to build something else besides outdated military equipment, Star Wars programs that don't exist and other waste in contracts with the homeland security bubble.
And its not as if spending on foreign wars ...
Guns vs Butter
Let's put the blame at its source, the policy makers.
Policy makers are those unelected individuals who represent the moneyed interests of banking, of large international corporations represented by influential organizations such as CFR and the think tanks like Brookings which is run by a gang of wealthy neoconservatives, arm-chair warriors scheming to find ways to destroy countries that stand in the way of US global hegemony and full-spectrum military dominance.
Thus far their plans have resulted primarily in bloody blowback and large profits for the MICC. They have demonstrated over and over again that they have very little understanding of basic human nature.
The military is their primary tool. Real diplomacy does not work when we attempt to create a world that will exist to serve our interests above all others. It takes lots of money and time and full-time propaganda aimed at the public in order to gain political support for the actions required to achieve their goals. The destruction, death and misery in their path appears insignificant to them.
Congress has become less and less important, bought and paid for by special interests, many such interests being those who support the goals of empire and the means by which empire, in their view, can be achieved. Those who aren't in on the game might well find themselves in a situation of having poor chance of being re-elected because of a lack of funding.
The public is becoming wise to this and we can expect future actions aimed at limiting dissent. We have witnessed it in the making since we experienced our "New Pearl Harbor". There was the Patriot Act and others limiting civil liberties which have followed it.
Our government exists to serve the ruling establishment and they believe that they deserve it.
And there it is in a nutshell
So sad. I quoted Assange in a short post today similarly laying it out. In terms of where to lay the blame, I would blame human nature. The first time I heard it said that love of money is the root of all evil I was just a kid and I thought that was the most shallow and stupid religious teaching I had ever heard. I thought, who is stupid enough to place money that high on their list? Other things, like passion and lust seemed more culpable. But I'm older and wiser now--seems like a pretty good saying.
