The old view of the librarian is busted in the modern library.
"We don't just stamp books anymore," said Jan O'Daniel, library media specialist at John Hardin High School.
O'Daniel said she rarely touches books with all her other roles and has to make a conscious effort to cling to the role of someone who makes book recommendations to students because she wants to stay in contact with the students.
Jen Lancaster, a New York Times bestselling author, appears at 6:30 p.m. today at Barr Memorial Library in Fort Knox.

Apple's Trending Searches feature appeared last September with the release of iOS 8. We quickly incorporated this information into the Sensor Tower dashboard, so that our customers have yet another resource for conducting keyword research.
But other than ideas for hot new keywords, what more can be learned from Trending Searches? We've run the data, and have some interesting new use cases for this tool.
For this study, we looked at Trending Searches from the first half of 2015. Here's what we learned from the year to date.

text: The recent spate of attacks — seven since June in North Carolina alone — has little to do with the shark population off American coastlines. Shark attack, George Burgess says, "is driven by the number of humans in the water more than the number of sharks." Carol Buchanan/iStockphoto hide caption itoggle caption Carol Buchanan/iStockphoto Animals Don't Blame The Sharks For 'Perfect Storm' Of Attacks In North Carolina July 5, 2015 The state's beaches usually see one shark attack a summer, if any. This year, there have already been seven. But this uptick in attacks is likely not tied to shark populations so much as to our own.

Thursday, June 11, 2009 from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM (PDT)
Jun 11 Thu
Browser Standards from 2D to 3D
Joint meeting with ACM GRAPHSIG
Graphics on the Web: Going Beyond Images and Rectangles
Over the past few years, browser innovation has proceeded at a fever pitch. As a result, the open web has many capabilities that were not possible even a few years ago, all available in a standards-compliant and cross-platform way. In this presentation, we'll look at some of the recently available capabilities, as well as provide a look at features that are currently being worked on. We'll also examine efforts to get 3D capabilities into the browser, and talk about some of the core improvements in browser technologies that are making this possible.
Khronos Launches Initiative to Create Open Royalty Free Standard for Accelerated 3D on the Web
Vladimir Vukicevic has been involved with the Mozilla project for four years, and is currently the Firefox technical lead. Vlad is interested in bringing new capabilities to the open web platform, especially in the graphics and multimedia areas, to enable the development of rich and engaging web applications. In the past, he's been involved in improving portions of the Firefox UI, optimizing the browser's rendering layer, as well as implementing features such as the HTML5 Canvas in Firefox.
Silicon Valley ACM SIGGRAPH Professional Chapter Events are open to the public.
7:30pm, Doors open, drinks, snacks
8:00pm, Feature presentation - "Graphics on the Web: Going Beyond Images and Rectangles "

When they bring the 4 or 5 candidates in here, they're all good candidates and they all fit our needs.
They know the people that we're working with. They understand the industry that we're in.
They were very, very helpful in talking to me about issues related to culture, issues related to chemistry, that proved very valuable to me.
Their strategic counsel, process, and dedication were instrumental in helping us recruit a number of exceptionally talented leaders.
They do their homework as it relates to the organization, so they know what the organization is all about – their values or their culture.
When we got it down to the three finalists, everybody that we talked to was on the same page as us. We could get right into the discussion about how we are going to grow the business.

To the absolute surprise of nobody, Greece and its so-called "Troika" of creditors have once again hit an impasse in its most recent meeting on figuring out everything that will make the sun shine brighter and result in dancing in the streets.
from Morning Bid with David Gaffen:
Big box sales
Retail sales at Costco Wholesale Corp should be encouraging enough when the company reports results at the close of trading today.
from Morning Bid with David Gaffen:
The popular shorts in the spotlight
Tesla's earnings come today at an interesting time for the market. The small-cap Russell 2000 closed below its 100-day moving average amid weakness in the smaller names trading in U.S. markets.
from Morning Bid with David Gaffen:
Apple on watch
The earnings picture has improved since the dismal forecasts put forth as the first quarter waned, but the overall outlook isn't all that strong, with year-over-year growth negative and more than half the companies that have reported missing revenue estimates.
from Morning Bid with David Gaffen:
Liquidity in a dry spell
The market finds itself in something of a standstill. It's been a long time since the S&P 500 hit a new high and the Nasdaq has been knocking on the door of its all-time record for months now. It's fair to characterize the trade as "directionless," with the most notable feature of the weekly data from the AAII surveys being how big the neutral sentiment is (insert "shrug" emoji here).
from Morning Bid with David Gaffen:
Stock market daredevil
Whatever Netflix ends up reporting after the close, it's likely to provoke some kind of market reaction, judging by recent moves in the shares after it has reported results. In its most recent quarter, Netflix beat expectations handily and saw its shares rise 32 percent in the seven days that followed. The quarter before was a modest disappointment and the stock tumbled 18.5 percent in the following seven days.
from Morning Bid with David Gaffen:
All in the Family Dollar
The best part of the early days of earnings season? Every release is the newest bellwether, and they're all a signal of the current "trend," because there's nothing to act as a contradicting force to only a few data points.
from Morning Bid with David Gaffen:
Lower, no longer
This week brings a lot for investors to chew on, including several retailer earnings that should illuminate the path of consumer spending - and from companies that of late have been doing well, including Home Depot and Lowe's, as well as Target, Gap Stores, Kohl's and Dollar Tree. This group will close out the earnings season as they're the laggards in the S&P 500.
from Expert Zone:
Earnings have bottomed, budget to provide future direction
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not necessarily those of Thomson Reuters)
from Morning Bid with David Gaffen:
Better Fed than dead
The Federal Reserve's policy announcement on Wednesday pretty much reinforced the status quo, which is that the Fed is the immovable object when it comes to markets.

"Colors of The Southwest"
June 6 - Sept 27, 2015
The Contemporary Southwestern Art Collection of Charles A. & Jeanette Gilchrest White in the White Gallery
Colors of the Southwest features life and perspectives of the Southwest, with artists and subjects native to the southwestern lifestyle. This collection of over 90 pieces showcases the genre of such renowned artists John Nieto, Frank Howell, R. C. Gorman and more. Generously Sponsored by The Mahlon Thatcher White Foundation | Dr. Jarvis & Mary Jo Ryals | The Estate of Etta Jeane Sayers With Support from Dr. Bill & Mona Askwig | Dick & Shirley Cline | Colorado State University-Pueblo | Linda Crawford | Kathy Farley & Fran McClave Franco's Bistro | LaLonna Meoska | Pueblo City - County Library District | Pueblo Community College Robert Hoag Rawlings Foundation | Charles & Shari Ready |Larry & Carol Spradley | Barbara & Bill Vidmar Sponsored in part by the City of Pueblo & the County of Pueblo
Using QR codes and personal mobile phones, the Arts Center will give visitors an added dimension when learning about the Colors of the Southwest exhibit. Guests can take a "deep dive" into the exhibit with informative and engaging audio clips about the works and artists. Sponsored by The Robert Hoag Rawlings Foundation
"High Plains Invitational"
June 6 - August 2, 2015
King Gallery
An exhibition of Contemporary Fine art by some of Southern Colorado's most beloved artists, including Marty Brens, Doug Candelaria, Tim Deibler, Jeremy Manyik, and Teresa Vito.
"Western Futurism by Jimmy Descant"
June 6 - Sept. 13, 2015
Hoag Gallery
When Jimmy Descant started professionally creating assemblage art in 1996, he saw his lifelong appreciation of the beautiful utilitarian parts from the Golden Age of American manufacturing transform into visions of what they could be, once rearranged... never having heard the term 'ready made' from Duchamp, or seen Picasso's early assemblages. The rocket ships Jimmy has created in the Western Futurism represent the peaceful exploration of time, space, ideas, and cultures.
"Pueblo Boy | A Process of Discovery" by Kelton Osborn
June 6 - Sept 13, 2015
Regional Gallery
Early in life, Kelton had a penchant for discovering how things worked and were put together. Instead of a linear process, Kelton works in a spiral that allows influences from multiple sources to interact with each other. The result is one that was not conceived prior to starting. An intuitive approach allows him the opportunity to explore ideas without physical limitations. Says Kelton, "My childhood memories inform my designs. Whether playing in the prairies with friends, catching lizards and snakes, or backpacking in the mountains with my parents – I have always enjoyed the process of exploration."
"Works from the Collection"
May 23 - Sept. 27
2nd Floor Foyer
A representation of Contemporary Southwestern Art from the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center's permanent collection.

Whimsical Chic by Esra RøiseIllustration // Monday, June 10, 2013
Esra Røise is a Norweigan freelance illustrator based in Oslo. She began her studies at the Einar Granum School of Art and recently finished her BA in Visual Communications at the Academy of The Arts in Oslo. She is inspired by seemingly trivial everyday situations, as well as by the spontaneity, poor cropping, and unusual angles often seen in snapshot photographs. Røise's growing list of clients include Vogue China, Nylon, Wallpaper*, Levi's, Nike, and Glamour, to name a few.

Matthias Haker: A Series of Abandoned BuildingsJuxtapoz // Monday, June 10, 2013
Dresden, Germany-based photographer, who focuses on both architectural and interior photography works, captured an amazing amount of abandoned buildings in this series that we found last night. Although it says he also is a weddding photographer, we think he should just stick to finding places long-forgotten.
Nychos @ Viborg International Billboard Painting Festival, DenmarkJuxtapoz // Monday, June 10, 2013
Our good friend and contributor Henrik Haven just sent some teaser shots of Nychos's new works in Denmark for the Viborg International Billboard Painting Festival. Nychos, Horfee, Blade and John Howard were all doing new works this past week in the small Danish town, and it looks like a school got a touch of the Weird. Summer is here, and the European continent is getting new public works!
Spatial Paintings by Xia XiawanJuxtapoz // Monday, June 10, 2013
Chinese artist Xia Xiaowan's 3D painting works on panes of glass are called "spatial paintings," and often feature distorted figures, drawn individually using colored pencil on tinted glass. Only when the multiple pieces are combined on their floor racks do the images create the hologram-like effect.
An Interactive Lamp That Changes Color Using SyringesJuxtapoz // Monday, June 10, 2013
This multi-colored RGB LED lamp by Taras Sgibnev has an innovative control system using three syringes filled with real ink. The syringes allow people to change the color of the lamp. We suggest you watch the video after the jump to see the syringes in action.
Ai Weiwei's "Bang" @ 2013 Venice Art BiennaleJuxtapoz // Monday, June 10, 2013
In the last several weeks Ai Weiwei has produced several new artworks, from a heavy metal music video, a large-scale diorama depicting his imprisonment, to an installation of 150 tons of straightened rebar taken from schools that had collapsed during the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. He also designed the cover for Time Magazine. At the 2013 Venice Art Biennale, Weiwei produced another installation, this once featuring 886 antique wooden stools!

Johanna Goodman's Celebrity FacesIllustration // Sunday, June 09, 2013
Johanna Goodman's series of shockingly colorful celebrity portraits capture the personality and dynamism of these entertainment mastheads with accuracy and flair. Using oil pastels, Goodman fleshes out the visages of these faces we have become so familiar with, stratifying them by bump, ridge and recess. Goodman is an illustrator who calls her work "award-winning, bleeding edge, shockingly new, tantalizingly fresh" and "classically classy." She has worked for Rollign Stone, The New Yorker, Spin, Esquire, Sports Illustrated, Playboy and many more.
Cecily Brown's Crowds of FleshErotica // Sunday, June 09, 2013
Cecily Brown's "Untitled" (2012), now on display in the Gagosian Gallery, examines the subject of the nude ensemble, drawing at the same time from history painting and pop culture. In fleshy yet chromatically sober color pairings, Brown creates clusters of diverse and invidiuated nudes that begin to crowd the painted scene as if from some unnamed purgatory. Fragmented figures and faces dissolve into kaleidoscopic concentrations of grey, purple and sienna. These paintings play out Brown's persistent fascination with the tension between bold painterly gesture and figurative content.

Mission Statement:
2. That being said... This is not the place to post your icons, fic, fanvids, screencaps, whatever... UNLESS it's directly connected with lulz.
3. This is the place to post any lulzy internet gems you may find.
4. We shall not suffer fools - i.e. this means that asshattery will not be tolerated. No real people bashing, no opinion smashing, no dream shattering, etc. Be nice.

We welcome any type of fandomy discussion with open arms. Please keep in mind that posts don't necessarily have to be about Doctor Who, we welcome any kind of fandom fun, in fact we demand it.
6. This is not ONTD. Just because our mascot happens to be David Tennant in a velvet suit doesn't mean that we want to know about/read posts pertaining to his private life. In fact we don't want to know about any of the casts private lives. This is not that kind of comm. Please keep the celebrity gossip to an absolute minimum. Of course if Mr. Tennant should turn up in another velvet suit... well, we would like to know about that, because obviously that is our business.
7. For the moment membership is completely open, anyone can join, anyone can post (do it!), anyone can have some lulz. You must however join to see the entries. If people start being mean we will close membership and make everyone listen to John Barrowman singing pop covers on repeat for all of eternity. Also, please remember to friendslock all posts.
8. Spoilers, large images and NSFW material must be put under a cut, with proper warnings. For the WHOniverse; if an episode has been aired in the U.K it and related media is no longer considered a spoiler.

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
Growing up, I always found one of the most bizarre things in history to be the dramatic
turnabout of the communist movement the day Germany invaded Stalinist Russia.
The communists and their fellow travelers were ferociously anti-fascist in the mid-1930's,
but were decided pro-Hitler from the time of the Nazi-Soviet Pact of August 23, 1939.
Germany had already gobbled up Czechoslovakia within the framework of the Munich Agreement. Even before the Pact, Stalin had been carefully nursing a neutral position regarding Nazi Germany, hoping to deflect the German war machine onto the capitalist West. Stalin repeated his friendship for Germany at the usual Party meetings and congresses, and the Comintern — Stalin's international propaganda apparatus — issued instructions for how good leftists must think.
Hitler was in a hurry. After taking Memel from Lithuania, he was planning to conquer Poland before the end of the summer of '39. Stalin began a series of secret negotiations with Hitler. On August 3, 1939, Hitler agreed to Stalin's terms for sitting by while Poland was destroyed. Germany never even bothered to inform its ally, Italy, of its plans. On the night of August 19 the Nazi-Soviet trade treaty was signed. When he received Stalin's assent, Hitler pounded on the wall with his fists and shouted, "I have the world in my pocket!" On the night of August 23, 1939, the non-secret text of pact was officially released.
Stalin collaborated openly with Hitler in dividing up Eastern Europe, with the uniform approval and applause of the world's communist parties and the "progressive" Left. After the invasion of France by Germany, Stalin ordered the military occupation of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and all three were "admitted" into the Soviet Union as constituent republics in July. In late June the Soviets also annexed Bessarabia and northern Bukovina. All this was done by way of an
ultimatum to Romania. The Russians then used most of the annexed territory to create a new Moldavian SSR.
Ah, but Stalin's Russia quickly became a victim of its betrayal of civilization. Hitler was not simply going to war against the capitalist West, but had been planning all along to destroy the Soviet Union and annex its lands. In July 1940, Hitler had decided to prepare to attack the Soviet Union. In September, a German-Italian-Japanese Tripartite Pact was signed, and although it stipulated that it would not affect the relations of any of the three powers with the Soviets, a deterioration in Berlin-Moscow amity had become apparent.
In November 1940 Molotov visited Berlin for further discussions of a vague and grandiose kind, but Hitler did not cancel his plans for attack. On December 18, 1940, he issued the directive for Operation Barbarossa, the code name for the invasion of the Soviet Union, to be launched in the middle of 1941.
Within hours of the crossing of the Soviet lines by German tanks, the world communist
movement reversed its political position regarding Nazi Germany by 180 degrees. As if
speaking in the voice of a single man, which of course it was, the communist parties and their
leftist fellow travelers became the most militant warmongers on earth, demanding that
the Western countries attack German and its allies.
Just days earlier they had been praising Germany for its campaign against Western capitalism, endorsing isolationism, calling for neutrality and non-aggression, demanding that proletarians from all nations cooperate, regardless of whether their governments were at war, and even praising some of the "progressive" elements of Nazism, such as its nationalization of some of the means of production.
These were the very same people now marching against Germany, labeling it the epitome of evil, demanding support and solidarity with the Soviet victim of German aggression, supporting rearmament by the same Western nations it had been denouncing as imperialists in the previous breath.
As I say, I always had a great deal of difficulty imagining and understanding how people could display such totalitarian self-abasement, such naked hypocrisy, as did that generation of the Left.
That is, until I observed the turnabout of the Israeli Left on the issue of Israel's security fence.
From Support to Opposition
Let us note that the idea of building a security barrier — composed of segments of walls, fences, and electronic gimmicks — was long the official banner of Israel's Oslo Left. The leftists wanted the wall built for several reasons. Mainly, they believed that such a wall would create a de facto separation of Israel from the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and behind the wall the Palestinians could exercise sovereignty or semi-sovereignty as a major step toward statehood.
Israeli leftists presumed that once Israel erected the barrier, all Jewish settlers on the wrong side of it would be forced to leave. They also thought that once the fence was up, it would be much easier to block Israeli military incursions into "Palestinian lands."
For years, the banner slogan of the Oslo Left in Israel was "Us over Here and Them over There." The wall they proposed to erect in the West Bank would reduce the number of
terrorist infiltrations, as had the fence around most of the Gaza Strip and the security fence
along the Lebanese border. All we need is some electronic gadgets and gizmos and terrorism
from our Oslo peace partners would end, the Left assured the nation.
The wall was the Left's Master Strategy, a program to impose withdrawal by Israel from
most of the West Bank under the guise of protecting Israeli civilians from terrorist barbarism.
It was the Israeli Right that first criticized the idea of a wall. The main criticism was that it would not effectively end the terror. The Palestinians were already firing mortars and
rockets over the Gaza wall into Jewish homes. What would stop them from doing so with new
And what exactly did the Left think the Palestinians would do once Israel abandoned the territory behind the wall? Take up quilting? The Right also feared the idea that the wall would be construed as a stage in Israel's eventual withdrawal and abandonment of the entire West Bank to PLO control — precisely the reason the Left wanted the wall.
Ehud Barak had been one of the original promoters of a security fence for the West Bank. Numerous Labor and Meretz politicians endorsed the idea. Amram Mitzna won the Labor party's nomination to run for prime minister. He endorsed a security wall and unilateral withdrawal by Israel from the West Bank and Gaza. He was clobbered in the election by Ariel Sharon.
Endorsement of a security wall for Israel was so enthusiastic and widespread on the Left that only one possible development could have turned leftists against the idea — its adoption
by Ariel Sharon and the Likud.
While at first highly skeptical of the practicality of the wall and its ability to keep Palestinian savages from murdering Israelis, Sharon and his people were under enormous pressure to do something — anything — as the terrorist violence escalated. Sharon became convinced that it was worth giving the wall a try; better partial prevention of terrorist infiltration than none at all.
Targeted assassinations by Israel of Palestinian terrorist leaders escalated at the same time, resulting in a reduced number of terrorist attacks and creating the impression that the partially-completed wall was somehow responsible.
Shimon Peres cast the lone vote against the security fence when the Sharon cabinet approved it officially in June 2002. (He didn't oppose it on principle — it was the fence's location that troubled him. Peres and the Left wanted the fence to trace the old pre-1967 "Green Line," signaling that Israel planned to turn over the entire area to the Palestinians.)
Within weeks of the cabinet vote, the Israeli Left, which had been united for years in favor of a wall, did a 180-degree reversal of direction of the sort not been seen since the signing of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact and its later collapse with the German invasion of Russia. Suddenly there was near opposition to the wall among Israeli leftists. Some even compared it to the walls around the Warsaw Ghetto, denouncing it as a racist way to "victimize" the poor innocent Palestinians. Others labeled it an "Apartheid Wall."
From Opposition to Confrontation
The Left's campaign against the wall has since moved beyond mere political rhetoric. In
recent weeks, teams of Israeli leftists, together with anti-Jewish "anarchists" and loony
communists from the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), have been attacking the
fences that comprise parts of the wall and vandalizing them with wire cutters and other tools.
The ISM thugs have flocked to the West Bank and Gaza Strip, where they devote
themselves to trying to prevent Israel from taking military action against the terrorists
who send suicide bombers into Israel. The ISM "peace activists" block roads, set up obstacles so tanks cannot operate, block soldiers trying to arrest terrorists or knock down houses of suicide bombers, and otherwise show how thoroughly they support Palestinian
In at least one case they hid arms for some Palestinian terrorists, and they have attempted to hide wanted terrorists in their offices. They make no secret of their desire to see the end of Israel. They endorse the use of terror against Jews. Two terrorists who carried out an atrocity in a Tel Aviv pub were hosted by the ISM the day before they carried out the murders. Some have suggested that ISM really stands for "I Support Murderers."
The Israeli troops dealing with the hooligans have exhibited a degree of restraint in the face of violent provocateurs without comparison in the democratic world. I bet that if a crowd of hooligans attacked the fence surrounding Barbra Streisand's mansion in Beverly Hills and tried to vandalize it, they would be mowed down without hesitation.
Over the past year, two ISM members became patron saints of terrorism. The better known is Rachel Corrie, a naive American-flag-burning, anti-Israel young extremist from Washington State. While trying to prevent Israeli heavy machinery from knocking down houses of terrorists and digging up tunnels used by Palestinians to smuggle in explosives, she placed herself in a position where the bulldozer driver could not see her. She was dragged down and crushed, and she died (probably as a result of the medical treatment she got from the PLO).
The other near-martyr of the ISM, Tom Hurndall, is currently being beatified in the UK. Israeli soldiers were on a mission last April in the Gaza border town of Rafiah when they came under PLO fire. Hurndall was there, like all ISM provocateurs, to interfere with Israeli military operations against terrorists. At the time of the shooting, Hurndall, along with other ISM members and local residents, planned to set up a "peace tent" on one of the nearby roads to
prevent IDF tank patrols from using it.
When the firefight began, Hurndall ran out into the street and was hit by a bullet in the crossfire. His supporters claim he was just trying to shoo some Arab children away from the battle zone. Given ISM behavior in the past, it is at least as plausible that he was planning to serve as a human shield for the terrorists doing the shooting. He was hit in the head and has been in a coma ever since.
Hurndall's family and the ISM have gone on a crusade against Israel, claiming Tom was
intentionally shot down in cold blood. The same people have long claimed that Rachel Corrie
was killed deliberately, a victim of Israeli malice, rather than as a result of her own foolish recklessness. These folks have never come up with a good reason why Hurndall was running around in the middle of a firefight in the Gaza Strip in the first place, a firefight started by the very same Palestinian terrorists he was there to support and protect.
But things have gotten curiouser and curiouser. The raison d'etre of the ISM is to promote attacks on Jews and delegitimization of Zionism, but the main victim of their agitprop turns out to be a Bedouin Arab! Yes, it turns out that Hurndall was in fact shot by a Bedouin soldier serving in the Israel Defense Forces. Of course, you would never know that piece of information from reading the British press. (Many people don't even know that Bedouins serve in the Israeli security forces.)
Too many on the Israeli Left take their cues from the Palestinian Authority, much the same way that communists in the late 1930's and 1940's took their cues from the Comintern. It bears repeating: No sooner had Sharon and the Likud begun construction of the security
wall than the Israeli Left and its amen choruses around the world started a coordinated
campaign against it.
For the longest time, a security wall was the preferred recipe for peace endorsed by nearly everyone on the Israeli Left. Today, the wall is labeled a colonial aggression, denounced by all progressive leftists and people for peace — people so opposed to it that they are willing to
risk prison, tear gas, and getting shot in the legs to tear it down or rip holes in it.

Environmentally Concerned Citizens of South Central Michigan (ECCSCM) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organized to educate the public on the health risks and the environmental damage Confined Animal Feeding Operations have brought to our community and its watersheds. We developed this website to provide documentation on the pollution here and to promote Sustainable Alternatives (buy local food & pasture-based meat).
In recent years (1997-2012), 13 CAFOs – most of them dairies – were constructed or expanded from smaller operations in our area. Major expansions continue. Dairy CAFOs confine 700 or more cows, often several thousand cows, in warehouse-size steel barns, year-round. The liquid manure from CAFOs is a major pollutant of soils and waterways. Animal manure and and animal carcasses contain many pathogens (disease-causing organisms such as Cryptosporidium, E. coli bacteria, Listeria – see EPA's comprehensive list of pathogens and symptoms). These pathogens can threaten human health, other livestock, aquatic life, and wildlife.
As family farmers and neighbors, we are concerned about Lake Erie, our drinking water, and the massive risk of liquid manure systems, liquid manure on tile-drained fields. Liquid manure, like rain, can drain to field tiles, which drain to streams. All streams here flow to Lake Erie. Contaminated flow that reaches a stream is a discharge. Discharges that violate Michigan's water quality standards are illegal. 12 CAFOs in our area have discharged illegally or violated their CAFO Permits. Since 2000, there have been 4,696 violations and discharges in our area, many of them multiple-day violations (see violations list).

RECENT NEWS - 2015: (For previous years, see News Archives with details and photos 2000-2015)
report on "America's Industrial Dairy Wasteland" - could be a Michigan CAFO report, but no, this report, from Socially Responsible Agricultural Project (SRAP), focuses on Wisconsin's CAFO pollution and the public health crisis in CAFO communities and watersheds. (See Full report, 140 p., 41MB) The report,"The Rap Sheets: Industrial Dairies of Kewaunee County, Wisconsin," documents years of pollution, complaints and agency response to 16 dairy CAFOs . "We should not mince words about this...What we're talking about are Third World conditions in America's heartland," SRAP's Scott Dye said. Drawing on agency documents, the report indicts Wisconsin's DNR (like our DEQ, charged with overseeing CAFOs) for regulatory failure, concluding its "hand-off approach...has proven to be an abject failure. The agency's 'all carrots, and no stick' oversight has left county residents with contaminated groundwater, a polluted countryside and a public health emergency."
Pope Francis in "On Care for Our Common Home," speaks forcefully on the enviroment, on climate change, on pollution including "agrotoxins," and on the moral imperative of protecting nature –"our common home." "Everything is connected," he writes. Our world is both enviromental and social, an "integral ecology." Read the full Encyclical Letter. Excerpts below are pertinent to sustainablility, agriculture, and the economic and political actions of authorities, agencies:
Lake Erie microcystis reported – too soon. The Toledo Blade reports that the early arrival of algae puts scientists on alert, following the first report of microcystis this week in Lake Erie. Blooms usually don't appear until August. The most recent (June 15) Harmful Algal Bloom Projection, from Heidelberg Univ and NOAA, notes that, "Earlier this spring had been relatively dry, resulting in less discharge and lower phosphorus loads into the western basin. Recent thunderstorms increased the loads, therefore increasing the potential bloom severity."
What causes Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in Lake Erie? See brief but detailed account by scientists with USDA Agricultural Research Service on the role of "larger farms," "manure," "tile drainage," as well as climate change, commodity prices, ethanol production, etc. in Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (April 2015).
Voices throughout the region unite on changes in agricultural practices to protect Lake Erie: The just-released Interim Joint Action Plan for Lake Erie lists a ban on manure and fertilizer on snow-covered and frozen ground as crucial. A June 5 Toledo Blade editorial on the new federal water rule supporting the Clean Water Act details the importance of protecting small tributaries and wetlands that feed drinking water sources (like Lake Erie). As Todd Ambs, the director of the Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition, told the Blade, "It's not called the Partially Clean Water Act."
June 7 - Dead cow at Bakerlads CAFO "Center for Excellence," lying at
the northeast corner of the facility east of Morey Hwy (M 156), within 100 feet of the South Branch of the River Raisin.
June 3 - NEW! Updated information on Western Lake Erie Watershed CAFO manure inputs and nutrient inputs for 2015 (from CAFO annual reports in Michigan and Ohio Livestock Permitting database). Manure production in the Western Lake Erie Watershed has increased since last year by more by than 171,000,000 lbs. to a new CAFO waste total of more than 5 billion pounds. In our Michigan watershed alone, CAFOs have added 3,667 animals, with an increase of more than 13,600,000 gal of liquid CAFO waste. Current totals here, from 15 CAFOs: 45,700 animals, 187,943,633 gals. of liquid waste.
May 29 - Update on CAFO VIOLATIONS, WINTER 2015 - DEQ cited Terrehaven CAFO for "an unpermitted discharge of manure laded water to Black Creek" on March 12, 2015, after manure application on snow-covered ground. That week in March saw thaw across Michigan which led to discharges elsewhere too (scroll back in time, down this page to the entry on VDS CAFO discharge in Kalamazoo Co, March 10). Three other CAFOs here – Bleich Dairy, Bakerlads Farm, New Flevo Dairy – also had violations of their CAFO Permits involving application of manure on frozen or snow-covered ground or maintenance of storage structures. For full details and links to DEQ letters, see Violations List.
FIND THE CAFOS IN YOUR AREA - New Food & Water Watch map of CAFOs, updated to 2012, (with expansions around here continuing through 2015, not included)
EPA releases guidelines for algal toxicity levels in drinking water. Good luck this summer, Toledo (and Monroe, MI, and Saginaw Bay water intakes). EPA recommended limits (not water standards), in parts per billion: for children younger than school age, 0.3 ppb for microcystin; for all others, 1.6 ppb for microcystin. Most states with drinking water standards for microcystin set the limit at 1 ppb, using a World Health Organization standard. Michigan and Ohio do not have a drinking water standard for microcystin.
On outlawing CAFOs - in the news this week - head to the courts:
DEQ announces 2015 CAFO General Permit, including one revision that imposes (a few) restrictions on CAFOs that manifest, give or sell, waste to others. Recipients applying CAFO waste in the months of Jan, Feb, and March without incorporation must now abide by the same winter rules that apply to CAFOs. Unfortunately, the 2015 CAFO Permit did not change winter application rules for CAFOs. Michigan has not stepped forward – in spite of recommendations from numerous studies, research, the International Joint Commission and others, that to protect Lake Erie, states and provinces must prohibit all manure application on frozen or snow-covered ground. CAFOs in Michigan can still apply on fields that meet certain slope, vegetated cover, etc. requirements. But – as we've seen for years – manure still runs off those fields in sun/thaw/rain/spring melt and still drains through surface inlets to tiles, which flow to streams. And on to Lake Erie.
April 28 - Why buffer strips aren't enough to protect Lake Erie - the form of phosphorus that spurs the growth of cyanobacteria/toxic algae is called dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP, PO4) because it dissolves in water. Dissolved phosphorus, in liquid manure for instance, drains down through soils to sub-surface field tiles and pours from the tile pipes directly into streams (see image below, Carter Dr in Lenawee Co). Buffers on the surface don't stop the dissolved phosphorus flowing underground through tiles. Unfortunately, most Lake Erie funding dollars are going to farmers for buffer strips. Buffers are considered a best management practice (BMP) – and they are, for runoff from the surface of the field. That's good. Buffers do catch another form of phosphorus that's attached to soils and runs off the surface with sediment. But this soil-attached phosphorus isn't the major spur for growth of toxic algae. DRP is. To protect Lake Erie, more serious changes in ag practices will be required for CAFOs: in-field basins or wetlands to capture the tile flow; or better, no liquid manure on tiled fields and municipal-grade waste treatment for CAFO waste; or best of all for our watersheds and for our communities, fewer CAFOs, more farms! with pasture-based livestock production.
April 27 - Regional Petition to EPA - today, ECCCM joined 30 Michigan, Ohio and Indiana environmental, farm, grass-roots and other organizations urging EPA to take a regional approach with actions to protect Lake Erie. The groups petitioned EPA to "designate the western Lake Erie basin as impaired and act without delay to address CAFO-related impacts to the watershed." Barbara Sha Cox, spokesperson for Indiana CAFO Watch, said "This is a vital step in protecting the water. Clean water should be the goal of all residents and farmers." See press release and full letter to EPA.
April 25 - Toledo Blade editorial today, "Saving Lake Erie," supports a recent Lucas County report that calls for designating the Maumee River a distressed watershed, to permit regional action. The report also concludes that "solely voluntary efforts will not clean up Lake Erie; legal mandates with enforcement teeth are necessary." Important actions recommended include "better data collection to monitor both the extent of pollution in the broader Lake Erie watershed and the success of measures to reduce it."
April 23 - draglining liquid manure, trucking solids, spraying, spreading from several CAFOs (see Stench Alerts), including Hoffland Farms CAFO, with dragline apparently crossing Rice Lake Drain, a high-risk practice. (See Rice Lake Drain E. coli issues in post from yesterday.)
April 22 - We're testing the streams near CAFOs here because CAFOs are not. DEQ is not. ECCSCM's 2015 Volunteer Water Monitoring Project has begun, with periodic sampling at 8 sites near 4 CAFOs. All sites are in western River Raisin or eastern Bean Cr watersheds, and all these waters flow to Lake Erie. Test results from sampling on 4-20-15 show two sites of serious concern: Rice Lake Dr at Haley Rd, and Deline Dr Ext at Tomer Rd - both near Hoffland Dairy CAFO facility and/or manure application fields. Water samples from these 2 sites violated Michigan's water quality standards for E. coli (5,900/100mL at Rice Lake Drain; 2,100/100mL at Deline Dr Ext); and both also tested extremely high in Nitrate, Phosphate (PO4), and Ammonia. In fact, EVERY SITE tested extremely high in Phosphate (PO4), the dissolved phosphorus implicated in the toxic algae blooms in Lake Erie. See total data from 8 sites, 4-20-15. Rice Lake Drain has a long history of E. coli contamination (2002-2015), as well as documentation in 2004 of the pathogen Cryptosporidium at this site by MSU and international Cryptosporidium researcher Dr Joan Rose. In spite of this, and a history of violations at Hoffland CAFO, DEQ has not tested this site - and many others of concern - in the last 10 years.
April 15 - Lenawee Co Road Commission signs posted on Forrister Rd, marking road damage between New Flevo Dairy and Skinner Hwy.
April 14 - More stench for neighbors, more liquid manure on wet ground, and more road damage at several locations as manure-tankers continue hauling. More photos/details on Stench Alerts.
April 13 - New Flevo Dairy CAFO draglining with at least 5 tankers hauling to Manitou Rd, with serious road damage on Forrister Rd (see photo).
April 9 - Rain last night and rain today, with serious runoff from New Flevo Dairy manure application fields along Hoddinott Rd.
April 7 - Ohio DNR just now confirmed a manure spill in Paulding Co last month, after application to frozen and snow-covered ground and subsequent melt, with manure reaching Flat Rock Creek, a tributary of the Maumee River/Lake Erie.
April 1 - New aerial photos today show serious concerns for waste management at multiple facilities, including Bleich CAFO pumping manure across the production area (why?), lagoon-to-lagoon-to-tankers. Warner production area shows significant silage runoff. And at Terrehaven CAFO, same as the last 3 years, manure is over-topping the containment barrier at production area, and also over-topping containment at new barns at the back of property, near Black Cr., a tributary of Wolf Cr, a drinking water source for the City of Adrian. See also, at ground level, the surge of CAFO manure applications at several locations.
March 25 - Ohio passes bill that bans manure on frozen ground - In response to the Lake Erie drinking water crisis, linked in large part to phosphorus flowing from agricultural fields and tiles, the Ohio legislature passed a bill, headed to Gov. Kasich for signing, which "prohibits farmers in northwest Ohio from spreading manure on frozen or saturated fields." Important first step in protecting public health. Now, what about some action in Michigan?
March 20 - Lake Erie Water Conference at Wildwood Metro Park, Toledo, OH, included several presentations on the risk to drinking water from livestock manure and tile-drainage flow, including the ECCSCM presentation on manure data here, and a detailed slideshow by Bill Stowe, CEO and General Manager of the Des Moines, Iowa, Water Works, which recently filed a Notice of Intent to Sue several Iowa drainage districts for excess nitrate in Des Moines' drinking water. The nitrates flowing through field tiles and into county drains cost taxpayers millions in additional water treatment costs. See Stowe's full presentation, "Providing Safe Drinking Water in Agricultural Watersheds." Two slides below from his presentation show the extent of sub-surface tile drainage in 2 sq miles in Iowa (same intensive tiling as here, where phosphorus is the concern); and in the Midwest, from Iowa to the western Lake Erie Watershed.
March 11 - massive snow melt continues, with runoff from fields and livestock production areas – Warner Farms, Milk Source's Medina Dairy:
March 10 - Bulletin: Massive manure runoff from VDS CAFO field in Kalamazoo County (see video of pumping operation; DEQ comments). "...'With the warmup on Sunday [March 8], that snow started to run off the field along with the manure,' said Bruce Washburn, an environmental quality analyst for the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. A stream of feces formed, flowing over 42nd Street into ditches and neighboring properties. The DEQ said it's already working to contain it."
New violations: Terrehaven CAFO, Adrian (River Raisin/Lake Erie Watershed) – 10 years of noncompliance 2005-2015, with production area lacking waste containment; periodic runoff and discharges; compliance schedules not met; manure lagoons not evaluated to see if they meet standards, and other violations. Production area runoff was first noted in Feb 2005. As of Jan 2015, Terrehaven was still out of compliance with a DEQ Violation Notice from Nov 8, 2013 ordering containment of all CAFO production area waste. On Jan 29, 2015, DEQ asked Terrehaven to submit yet another "timetable" for construction of the CAFO waste collection system by May 1, 2015... "To ensure that this issue is addressed in a timely manner." Terrehaven is also still out of compliance with evaluation of waste storage structures and is required, yet again, to submit "a schedule" for the evaluation of the north storage lagoons by March 1, 2015, to bring them up to standards by Aug 1, 2015.
Feb 23 - ON FROZEN AND SNOW-COVERED GROUND - multiple manure applications by Hartland Farms CAFO, Bleich CAFO (2 locations), and Warner Farms (details, photos on Stench Alerts). Of serious concern, with severe cold for two weeks and small tributaries frozen, 2 drains downstream from New Flevo Dairy CAFO and Marowelli Farms are flowing, with unnatural color and foam:
2-23-15 - drain at New Flevo Dairy CAFO, flowing to Wallace Dr, a tributary of Hazen Cr.
Feb 3 - Feb 3 - ON FROZEN AND SNOW-COVERED GROUND - Bakerlads CAFO manure application, again. Details on Stench Alerts.
Jan 28, 2015 - 10 points, to protect our waters - Comments to DEQ on draft CAFO General Permit. ECCSCM, Sierra Club Michigan Chapter, and Socially Responsible Agricultural Project, jointly submitted extensive comments to DEQ yesterday on the draft CAFO Permit. These Comments were supported by national and regional groups signing on, including The Ecology Center, Michigan League of Conservation Voters, Center for Food Safety and others. The Comments focus on 10 important changes for the 2015 CAFO Permit to protect our watersheds, our health, and our Great Lakes. A few points are:
Jan 27 - ON FROZEN AND SNOW-COVERED GROUND - More CAFO waste applications by Bakerlads and Hartland Farms, along Cadmus Rd west of Morey
Jan 20 - See details of a multi-year discharge from 14 yrs ago, Jan 2001, just added to Violations list - FOIAed DEQ documents were first seen this week, Jan 2015. Bleich CAFO, Hudson, was cited for a discharge of contaminated stormwater to a tributary of St. Joseph Cr. In a DEQ letter to Bleich CAFO dated Oct 8, 2004 - more than 3 years later! - DEQ reported contaminated stormwater was still draining and discharging to waters of the state.
Jan 16 - See Media Alert from Michigan Chapter Sierra Club, ECCSCM, and Socially Responsible Agricultural Project, on how and when to provide your comments to DEQ on the 2015 CAFO General Permit. Help protect Lake Erie and all of Michigan's watersheds. Ask DEQ to prohibit CAFO waste application on frozen or snow-covered ground at any time, and between Dec 15 and Mar 15, no matter the soil conditions.
Jan 15 - Big news on two fronts today:
Also Jan 15 - ON FROZEN AND SNOW-COVERED GROUND - 2 CAFOs spreading manure: Hartland Farms and Bakerlads, both in Hudson Twp.
Jan 13 - ON FROZEN AND SNOW-COVERED GROUND - Bakerlads CAFO spreading solids just north of the South Branch of the River Raisin, on east side of Morey Hwy, north of Beecher Rd.
Jan 12 - Iowa's largest city sues over farm pollution in rivers - "Des Moines, Iowa, is confronting the farms that surround it over pollution in two rivers that supply the city with drinking water. Des Moines Water Works says it will sue three neighboring counties for high nitrate levels in the Raccoon and Des Moines rivers. It's a novel attempt to control fertilizer runoff from farms, which has been largely unregulated..." An idea for Toledo?
Jan 2 - ON FROZEN GROUND - Voluntary compliance? (NOPE) with DEQ's request to CAFOs to stop manure application on frozen or snow-covered ground in Lake Erie Watershed. Two CAFOs here are applying both liquid and solid manures today, on ground frozen solid. New Flevo/Waterland Dairy CAFO is hauling to at least 3 locations: spraying liquid manure just west of the village of Onsted, on a field not included in their CNMP; also spraying liquid manure on Shepherd Rd, east of Pentecost Hwy in Adrian Twp.; and also spreading solids on Forrister Rd, 1/2 mi. east of Wilkinson, with no setback from a tile riser. Elsewhere, north of Hudson, Bleich CAFO is also applying manure on frozen ground. (See Stench Alerts for more details and photos).

Blue Jays 6, Twins 3
TORONTO (AP)—Gustavo Chacin looked as good as he did last year.
Chacin made a strong first start, Jason Phillips hit a tiebreaking double and B.J. Ryan got his second save, leading the Blue Jays over the Minnesota Twins 6-3 Thursday night.
Chacin (1-0) allowed three runs and six hits in 6 2-3 innings, struck out four and walked one. The left-hander went 13-9 with a 3.72 ERA in his rookie season.
"I don't want to change anything," Chacin said.
Toronto manager John Gibbons would like a repeat of last season too.
"He picked up right where he left off last year," Gibbons said.
Ryan, signed to a $47 million, five-year contract—the richest ever for a reliever—entered in the ninth to loud cheers. He walked one and struck out one.
"It's nice to be able to bring in your closer and sit back and relax," Gibbons said.
Lyle Overbay tripled and hit an RBI single for the Blue Jays, who took two of three in the opening series. Despite all the big offseason additions to Toronto's roster, attendance was just 16,221.
"We played a pretty good team that has a changed lineup," Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We battled. We're OK. I like how we competed here."
Carlos Silva (0-1) allowed six runs—five earned—and five hits in 5 2-3 innings. Silva walked two—his first game with more than one walk since Sept. 26, 2004 at Cleveland, a span of 28 starts.
"Nobody is perfect," Silva said.
Silva dismissed manager Gardenhire's suggestion that the World Baseball Classic kept him from pitching enough innings in spring training.
"Oh man, that question is getting old. Next question," Silva said. "Forget about the World Classic. That's old. I'm ready."
Shannon Stewart led off the first with a double, advanced to second on a bunt and scored on Torii Hunter's RBI grounder, but Overbay's RBI single and Shea Hillenbrand's sacrifice fly gave Toronto a 2-1 lead in the fourth.
After Nick Punto's run-scoring single tied it in the fifth, Overbay hit a two-out triple in the sixth and scored on Phillips' two-run double, which chased Silva.
Aaron Hill had a run-scoring infield single off Juan Rincon, and Frank Catalanotto walked with the bases loaded.
Phillips likely made his last start before he's optioned to the minors to make room for catcher Gregg Zaun.
Phillips is a favorite of Gibbons, having played for him when Gibbons managed the Mets' Triple-A affiliate.
"All I read was that I was just a favor to Gibby that I'm on the team," Phillips said. "It's good if I can make good for Gibby."
Mike Redmond knocked out Chacin with an RBI double in the seventh.
Toronto RHP A.J. Burnett allowed one run, three hits and two walks while striking out two in four innings during a rehab start for Class A Dunedin against Clearwater. Burnett has been sidelined with a sore elbow. He's scheduled to make one more rehab start before being making his first start for Toronto on April 16. Burnett signed a $55 million, five-year contract during the offseason, three years after elbow surgery. … Toronto CF Vernon Wells robbed Justin Morneau of a hit with diving catch in the seventh.

Bursitis can cause a
bursa to produce and fill up with fluid. A bursa that
is swollen with fluid can be diagnosed and treated by drawing the fluid out
with a needle and syringe (aspiration). Fluid often builds up in the
bursa again. Draining the bursa can provide relief, but the cause of
fluid buildup may also require treatment. After the fluid is tested for signs of
infection or inflammation, proper treatment can be prescribed.
