Biography (American History Through Literature)
Between 1820 and 1870, authors and critics in the United States began to redefine the purposes and meanings of biography, a genre so popular that several magazines identified an American "biographical mania." Before 1820 Americans who discussed biography had divided into two camps. Most biographers and some critics recommended biography for promoting civic virtue among a rising generation and proclaiming America's republican experiment to the world. Other critics, but few American biographers, echoed the English critic Samuel Johnson: a subject's "character" was found in his "domestic privacies," not in the public deeds that republican ideology would highlight. After 1820 the links between biography and "character"he reader's and the subject'sere transformed in new cultural and critical contexts. A rapidly expanding print culture vastly increased the volume of biographical production, in forms ranging from books to paperbound tracts and periodical articles. At the same time, biography became a significant vehicle for narrating and interpreting the nation's history and particularly for contesting who merited inclusion in that history. By the Civil War era, American biographical critics were arguing that illuminating the subject's character artistically mattered more than providing models for readers to emulate, but few biographers followed their dictates.
Authors and critics had long celebrated biography's instructive power: the life of a worthy subject could encourage readers' imitation or inspire them to higher values and virtuous action. An emphasis on republican instruction was specific to the post-Revolutionary American context. Biographies of American notables between 1790 and 1820 emphasized subjects' civic virtueevotion to the nation above individual interest, simplicity of style in contrast to aristocratic pretension. Character was revealed on the public stage, whether the battlefield or the councils of state. As early as the 1820s, however, biography helped promulgate new definitions of character, particularly gendered notions associated with a rising northeastern middle class. An 1831 writer recommended that young people read "the lives of self made men" for "the several steps by which they arrived at eminent usefulness" (Civis, p. 281). Such biographies proliferated in several forms. Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography became the model for the sketches in Henry Howe's collection Memoirs of the Most Eminent American Mechanics (1839) and similar works. Freeman Hunt's New York monthly, the Merchant's Magazine and Commercial Review, regularly ran brief lives of self-made merchants between 1839 and 1846 for the benefit of the thousands of young clerks thronging the metropolis in search of economic advancement. Whereas lives of merchants glorified commercial professions by suggesting that eminent businessmen retained an ethic of public service, biographical sketches of artisans offered a more ambiguous message. On the one hand, books such as Lives of Distinguished Shoemakers (1849) celebrated "manual toil as the true discipline of a man" (p. iii). On the other, they tended to share with merchant biographies an emphasis on self-education and self-making and took as subjects men who had left manual labor for more elevated intellectual or professional pursuits. The most famous American biographer of self-made men was William Makepeace Thayer, a former Congregational pastor whose books included The Poor Boy and Merchant Prince (an 1857 manual for young men that took lessons from the life of the manufacturing entrepreneur Amos Lawrence), The Bobbin Boy (1860, a life of the Massachusetts governor Nathaniel Banks), The Printer Boy; or, How Ben Franklin Made His Mark (1860), and The Pioneer Boy, and How He Became President (1863, about Abraham Lincoln).
Biographies of eminent women offered a range of cultural messages. The lives of women renowned for intellectual or literary achievement, such as Madame Germaine de Staël, empowered women readers to pursue their own intellectual development, often in reading groups or correspondence with other women. Numerous biographies told of women distinguished for benevolent work. Ann Haseltine Judson, a missionary to Burma, became more famous after her death than she had been in life thanks to a best-selling memoir by James D. Knowles and other biographies. Lives of Judson, Isabella Graham (who had founded charitable organizations through successful fund-raising), and kindred spirits provided models of heroic womanhood and authority in the public realm. In contrast, the popular biographies of European queens served largely to reinforce an ideology of domesticity: authors generally presented political power and femininity as incompatible and queens such as Elizabeth I as mannish perversions rather than figures to be admired.
For both men and women, religious biographyrobably the most widely disseminated category of biographies in nineteenth-century Americaimed to shape readers' character as Christians. Some religious biographies were the literary handiwork of the subjects' friends or ministers, who wanted to memorialize a person (often a woman) noted for piety; these books might be locally published or adopted by a regional or national publisher. Others were the product of religious tract societies or the American Sunday-School Union. These organizations reprinted biographies first published by English tract societies and published newly written lives of American subjects. Inverting biography's usual mission to "record the incidents connected with the life of some distinguished individual," many religious memoirs told the lives of little-known subjects, whose very typicality could serve as the best inspiration for similarly ordinary readers (Clark, p. 3). Biographical sketches of exemplary Christians also appeared frequently in religious magazines and newspapers.
Tract societies were the most prolific, but far from the only, organizations that employed biography to create and mobilize imagined communities of readers. For abolitionist societies and publishers, the testimony recorded in the pages of slave narratives was the harshest literary indictment of the South's "peculiar institution." Although narrative and biography differednarratives" tended to be first-person accounts of a series of adventures or experiences (such as Indian captivity narratives) rather than full life storieshe authors and publishers of slave narratives, most famously Frederick Douglass's Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave (1845), capitalized on the power of individual experience that gave biography much of its appeal. Political parties, which developed their own networks of publishers and newspapers in the 1830s and 1840s, used biography to promote not only presidential candidates but also larger political and social ideologies. Democrats' biographers portrayed candidates whose industry had raised them to candidacy within the political party, an ostensibly democratic institution. Their Whig rivals, who argued that party loyalty forced men to sacrifice independent judgment, depicted Whig candidates as men above party, elevated to leadership by innate qualities. At the same time, biographers of both parties emphasized candidates' devotion to the Union, implying that the party system itself had become a bulwark of the republic and an institution of republican education for a rising generation of men.
If the presentation of charactersnd different notions of "character"or readers' emulation and for the promotion of various collective identities was one major purpose of biography, the definition and elaboration of American history was the other. Through biography, American writers offered multiple interpretations of the nation's past. The first generation of American historical biographers, who included Jeremy Belknap (American Biography, 1794), John Marshall (The Life of George Washington, 1804807), and William Wirt (Sketches of the Life and Character of Patrick Henry, 1817), all sought to tell the nation's story through individual lives. After 1820, as most states and even some localities founded historical societies, their successors emphasized the centrality of documentary research for historical scholarship. Jared Sparks (1789866), a former Unitarian minister and editor of the North American Review, became a leader among these mostly New England historians. Sparks argued for a clear distinction between "truth" (gleaned from research in written documents) and "tradition" (usually oral lore, passed down by subjects' descendants and acquaintances). Tradition, Sparks argued, had no place in serious historical or biographical writing.
The Library of American Biography, which Sparks edited in twenty-five volumes (1834848), revealed not only his ideas about the genre but also shifting visions of American history. As Sparks explained the project in his journal on 28 July 1832, "The purpose is to select some of the most prominent lives, from the first settlement of the country down to the present time. . . . The series will thus serve as in some degree a connected history of the country, as well as to illustrate the character and acts of some of the most illustrious men in the nation" (Adams 2:189). Sparks expected his authors to consult original sources but not to write biographies in the "life and letters" form replete with long documentary extracts. Instead he wanted easily readable narrative so that the volumes would sell. The first ten volumes (1834838) testified to the New England interpretation of American history dominant in the 1830s. Most of the authors in this "first series" of the Library were Harvard graduates like Sparks; the twenty-six subjects were predominantly New England figures, from Puritan times to the Revolutionary era and the early Republic. Many authors evinced a Unitarian, Whig bias: critical of Puritan theology and practice, troubled by Anglo-American (especially proto-Jacksonian) treatment of Native Americans, virtually silent about matters south of Pennsylvania. The second "series" (1844848) was different. Perhaps because historical societies now existed in southern and western states, Sparks engaged writers from across the nation, who wrote on subjects from every region. As a result these fifteen volumes told a different story, of a United States comprised of diverse local histories and individuals whose local or state eminence had contributed to building the nation.
By the 1840s too, other historical biographers used scholarly methods to challenge the narrative that Sparks and his New England compatriots had built. Some writers sought to broaden the range of biographical subjects. The New York historian William Leete Stone (1792844) wrote biographies of the Iroquois leaders Joseph Brant (1838) and Red-Jacket (1841), traveling as far as Montreal and Quebec for documents and employing an early form of ethnography in describing Native American customs and family structures. Stone argued that Anglo-American historians, and even the public documents in which they might seek "truth," distorted the true history of Native Americans. As a corrective, he published long extracts from Brant's own manuscripts. He also compared his method to those employed in John Marshall's Life of Washington, Thomas Moore's Life of Byron, and John Gibson Lockhart's Life of Sir Walter Scottlacing Native American subjects within an Anglo-American biographical tradition. To write the three-volume Women of the American Revolution (1848850), Elizabeth F. Ellet (1812877) collected documentary records of her subjects but found that women's contributions had often gone unrecorded in writing. Therefore she turned to descendants of her potential subjects for information, even as she recognized the difficulties of substantiating their family "traditions." Ellet aimed to elevate the Revolutionary-era women through the medium of historical biography and to connect two literary worlds: scholarly historical writing, often perceived as men's domain, and domestic literature that focused on women's struggles and influence.
Southern biographers of the 1840s and 1850s went further, not merely proposing additions to the national pantheon but arguing that the surfeit of New England biography skewed Americans' comprehension of the national past. William Gilmore Simms (1806870), the foremost southern writer and editor, penned lives of Francis Marion and other South Carolinians and pungent biographical criticism in his Southern Quarterly Review. Southerners' historical indifference, Simms lamented, had ceded the field: "Our histories are slurred over by Yankee historians, the most important truths suppressed; our heroes receive but cold applause. Shall the warm and generous nature owe the record of its virtues, its uncalculating patriotism, its noble self-sacrifice, its oratory or its valor to the cold and frigid biographies of the unsympathising bigot of another and a too hostile region?" (p. 197). Sectional lines also emerged in the response to New Yorker Henry Stephens Randall's sympathetic Life of Thomas Jefferson (1857858): southern reviewers embraced this biography of their native son, while northern critics faulted Randall's Democratic bias and even his writing style.
In the mid-1850s Herman Melville (1819891) employed another genreictionalized personal narrativeo criticize Sparksian biography. In 1853 Melville had commented on biography in his short story "Bartleby," whose narrator laments, "I believe that no materials exist, for a full and satisfactory biography of this man. . . . Bartleby was one of those beings of whom nothing is ascertainable, except from the original sources, and, in his case, those are very small" (p. 3). Israel Potter, a veteran of the battle of Bunker Hill who became a London chair maker and dictated his life story to a Providence printer, had left more. Melville used Potter's 1824 "narrative" as the basis for Israel Potter: His Fifty Years of Exile (1855). Dedicating the book to "His Highness the Bunker-Hill Monument," Melville wrote that ordinary men like Potter were missing from "the volumes of Sparks." The monument, he argued, was truly America's "Great Biographer: the national commemorator of such of the anonymous privates of June 17, 1775, who may never have received other requital than the solid reward of your granite" (pp. 3). Even if Israel Potter was largely Melville's invention, the novelist echoed the questions that Stone, Ellet, Simms, and other contemporaries were asking: whose life stories biography ought to capture, and whether an insistence on documentary evidence excised some Americans from their rightful place in history.
In the 1840s and 1850s, critics in several American literary magazines argued that most biographies were defective as literature. Their criticism, derived from English Romantic arguments, imagined biography differently than did most Americans who wrote and read in the genre. To authors and readers, biography was either a didactic instrument of character formation or a branch of history. When earlier American critics had discussed the literary properties of biography, they had emphasized its distinction from the novel: biography offered rational, instructive amusement that fiction did not. Historians in Sparks's vein emphasized the quest for documentary truth more than any literary rules for presenting subjects' character. Few Americans wrote literary biography, the lives of American authors, in the vein of Lockhart's Life of Scott. But after 1840 literary critics on both sides of the Atlantic increasingly took issue with biographical practice.
Several of their complaints seem at first glance contradictory. On the one hand, critics defended the privacy of the subject against the prurient curiosity of the reader or the hack biographer. On the other, they faulted biographers for lapsing into eulogy that told too little of the subject, a lament that dated back to the eighteenth century. Romantic critics of biography offered another path, founded on different definitions of "truth" and "character." Truth now meant "truth to life": a sense of the subject's individuality. Only a biographer who wrote con amore phrase also used to describe the true poet's relationship to his subjectould capture what critics now called the "inner man." As Thomas Carlyle wrote and many American critics echoed,
If an individual is really of consequence enough to have his life and character recorded for public remembrance, . . . the public ought to be made acquainted with all the inward springs and relations of his character. . . . In one word, what and how produced was the effect of society on him? and what and how produced was his effect on society?" (Quoted in "A Biographer at Work," p. 222)
The biographer's responsibility lay in interpretation, not merely the collection of documentation or anecdote. English and American critics of the 1850s defined biography writing as literary artistry that required craftsmanship in arranging materials, vivid depiction of character and scene, and appreciation of the subject's character and accomplishment.
James Parton (1822891), a New York journalist for Nathaniel Parker Willis's Home Journal, did not immediately seem the sort of writer to meet the critics' standards. His first biography, The Life of Horace Greeley, which appeared in 1855 (a year before he married the novelist and fellow journalist Sara Payson Willis Eldredge, known to readers as "Fanny Fern"), displayed literary talent but resembled the myriad lives of self-made men written for aspiring youth. His second, The Life and Times of Aaron Burr (1857), became the most controversial biography of the 1850s: critics divided over whether Parton's brisk narrative presented a balanced portrait of a still-mysterious character or palliated the faults of a bad man in order to sell books. Parton's three-volume Life of Andrew Jackson (1860) established his reputation as America's premier biographerndeed, the first American author known as a biographer. The hallmarks of his style included deep research in documentary and published sources (the Life of Jackson opened with a thirteen-page annotated bibliography) and animated prose that owed something to his journalistic roots.
Several critics noted that Parton pioneered an approach appropriate to telling an American life story. They suggested, too, that Parton wrote con amore, seeking the "inner man" as Romantic critics prescribed. This approach was most evident in Parton's long, interpretive articles on notable American politicians and entrepreneurs of the previous generation, which appeared in the venerable North American Review in the mid-1860s. At the same time, Parton's fame as a biographer afforded opportunities to write in other corners of the genre. For Robert Bonner's New York Ledger, he wrote brief, often didactic articles about famous men and women. He continued his career in American historical biography with a two-volume life of Benjamin Franklin (1864). He also capitalized on the fascination with Civil War commanders with General Butler in New Orleans (1863), a book not unlike the emerging "dime biographies" of contemporary figures published by the dime-novel publishers Beadle and Adams.
After the Civil War, biography in the United States remained as diverse as it had been for the previous half century. Critics might desire works of liter-ary polish and interpretive depth, but far more biographies adhered to familiar formulas. Didactic works continued to target aspiring self-made men and religious strivers, political parties still produced biographies of presidential candidates, and historians wrote the "lives and times" of historical figures. Beginning in the late 1860s, subscription publishing companies promoted several new sorts of biographical production, all with antebellum roots. Thick compendia of brief life sketches, including several volumes edited by Parton, reached back to collections about self-made men or eminent women but increasingly emphasized celebrity as much as instruction. The lives of Civil War generals, most famously Ulysses Grant's 1885 Memoirs, helped place the recent conflict into the nation's historical narrative. And ornately bound compendia of local history and biography, the so-called mug books that were compiled for hundreds of midwestern and western counties in the last quarter of the century, provided a site for ordinary individuals to have their achievements (and sometimes their pictures) recorded for posterity. Americans' "biographical mania" showed no signs of decline.

Well I see I didn't need these bulbs with the HID system I purchased also. I asked do I need these bulbs for the HID system I was told YES you do, so I ordered them. Well the HID System comes with bulbs. Only problem with them is that you have to do extensive modifications to you headlight base. Drilling out the center so that you can mount in the new bulb system. This is probably not a good idea. Too many variables can happen I think. This is probably my own Idea, but if you make a mistake, you will have to purchase a headlight.

"I put these on my 2014 Forester. They fit well, and the installation was easy. When you buy a pair, they are sold as a front and rear pair, but the difference is not distinguishable and nothing on the package or in the enclosed instructions made note of this. I haven't noticed any increased noise, and I often drive with the roof open, so I think the aeroblade is a smart design. As far as roof racks go, they look nice and look like they will last a long time."

The Washington County volleyball team (10-3) looked to turn their hot start to 2013 into a 5th Region All-A championship on Saturday, but they were stopped in the title game by Green County, 2-0 (25-16, 25-17).
The Commanderettes earned a first-round bye in the tournament, which was held at Washington County High School, before knocking off Campbellsville, 2-0 (25-9, 25-10) in the second round. The win earned them a spot in the finals against the Lady Dragons, but WC was unable to keep the run going.
The Commander Golf team was on the links the past couple of weeks, continuing their strong play with first and second-place finishes.
Most recently, the Washington County boys' team met up with Green County and Metcalfe County, with the Commanders coming away with the victory.
Washington County's top four golfers posted a score of 171, while the Dragons and Hornets shot 184 and 185, respectively.
The Mid-South Conference (MSC) is considered to be the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics' (NAIA) premier conference in every sport, and Tuesday night the St. Catharine Volleyball Patriots proved that they belonged.
The Commander football team (1-1) was unable to build on an opening week win on Sunday, taking a 48-0 loss at the hands of Green County at Marion County High School in the Heart of Kentucky Pigskin Classic. The game was originally scheduled for Saturday night, but had to be moved to Sunday due to weather delays.
Washington County hosted Bethlehem, Green County and Campbellsville in the 5th Region All-A Classic on Friday, Aug. 16., and it was a big day for Commander and Commanderette golf.
In the boys' team competition, the Commanders took the title, topping Bethlehem in a back-nine scorecard tiebreaker.
Senior Thomas Pettus earned medalist honors with a score of 74, followed by senior J.P. Cecconi's 80 and sophomore Michael Wheatley's 86. Junior Luke Mattingly and sophomore Evan Mattingly rounded out the team with scores of 95 and 96.
LOUISVILLE — Steve Baker has resigned as Mid-South Conference commissioner, conference officials announced on Monday.
An immediate search for Baker's successor is under way.
"On behalf of the Mid-South Conference Council of Presidents, we appreciate Steve Baker's services and the contributions he made to the conference, our student-athletes and respective institutions," said Dr. James L. Hurley, University of Pikeville president and chair of the council of presidents.
The St. Catharine Patriots (3-2, 0-0 MSC) made their way to the University of Michigan-Dearborn last weekend, where they were able to win two of four matches.
The Patriots got off to a slow start in the tournament, losing their first two matches, 1-3 to Lourdes College (2-2) and 2-3 to Grace College (4-0).
"We had an opportunity to win almost every game against Lourdes and Grace; we just never could get over the bump," said SCC Head Coach Jason McDannold.
The Washington County football team (1-0) is preparing for its second bowl game in as many weeks, this time at Marion County High School for the Heart of Kentucky Pigskin Classic.
Washington County volleyball (7-1) started the season with seven wins in six days last week, including a 4-1 showing at the Boyle County Invitational over the weekend.
Commanderette Assistant Coach Casey Mudd said the quick start has helped the team get going in games early.
"That has really helped a lot as far as their confidence and going in as an aggressive team," Mudd said. "They know they can take care of their opponents and it shows through their 7-1 record."
Proving from the outset that 2013 is going to go differently than the 2012 campaign, the Washington County football team opened their season with a 20-7 win at home against LaRue County in the inaugural Don Franklin Auto Alumni Bowl on Saturday.
The Commanders (1-0), who lost by a score of 49-7 at LaRue County last year, sent a message early that they're a much improved football team.

Wisconsinites and others around the country are talking about how much the recall election of Gov. Scott Walker will cost taxpayers, and how much was spent by outside interests.
With more big elections on the horizon this fall in the state, even more money could pour into Wisconsin.
According to the Center for Public Integrity, Tuesday's recall election was the most expensive in Wisconsin history.
More than $63 million was spent by candidates and outside groups. The previous record was $37.4 million set in the 2010 gubernatorial election.
In this race, Walker out raised Barrett more than 7.5 to one, most of the money coming from out of state.
A political science professor at UW-Stevens Point says we can expect more of the same in upcoming elections this fall.
"Certainly there will be national implications on the money side of things, conservatives are going to believe that and their consultants are going to try to sell them on the idea that it was the money," said Dennis Riley.
Riley says the majority of billionaires are conservative and may be more likely to invest in candidates.
Citizens United, the Supreme Court decision that opened the door for corporations and billionaires to spend as much as they want on campaigns, makes that even easier.
Also, according to Wisconsin law, any target of a recall can raise as much as they want.
Along with the upcoming Presidential race, there are a string of state races, which will result in a battle for the State Legislature this fall.
The Government Accountability Board estimates the recall election, including the primary, cost taxpayers $18 million.

Washington, DC Friday, February 3, 2012
A House Energy & Commerce Subcommittee held a hearing on the Obama Administration's decision to deny a permit for construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline that would have carried oil from Canada to the U.S.
In response to the action, Nebraska Congressman Lee Terry introduced legislation called the North American Energy Access Act. It gives approval authority of the pipeline over to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. This hearing is in response to Subcommittee Republicans not inviting key witnesses for Democrats at a previous hearing on January 25th. They invoked a House rule that allows the minority party to hold an additional hearing.
Panel One witnesses included U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory Program Chief Margaret Gaffney-Smith and Bureau of Land Management Deputy Director of Operations Mike Pool.
Panel Two witnesses included Retired Army Brig. Gen. Steven Anderson, and a Nebraska rancher named Randall Thompson.

For a number of years, the board has sought reasoned discourse on the matter — discussions based on facts and science rather than emotion.
Ironically, the board has no jurisdiction over the waters of Eagle Lake or the Bly Tunnel, but it has pursued the issue and sought resolution of the matter in the best interests of Lassen County citizens — particularly those who live or own businesses near Eagle Lake.
The lake's status as a prime recreation area has sunk with the dropping lake level over eight years of drought.
Obviously a dwindling number of tourists mean smaller incomes for business owners and declining property values for residents.
The country's economy has decreased in the past few years, too, and no one can say how big an impact the well-reported national economic doldrums have had on the Eagle Lake and its economy. To be sure, profits and property values are down everywhere around the country and all across Lassen County as well.
Recently the board received an obscenity laden presentation by Larry Wosick, the county's district 3 supervisor, who does not represent constituents in the Eagle Lake Basin. According to Wosick, 1.5 million gallons of water per day are "sucked" out of Eagle Lake and flow through an eight-inch pipe to benefit prominent landowners downstream on Willow Creek. Wosick alleges the board hasn't turned off the valve on the pipe and shut off the water he claims is being drained from Eagle Lake due to cronyism and corruption by his fellow board members.
Now the argument has come to a head. According to Jeff Fontana, a public information officer with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), two state agencies — the California State Water Resources Control Board and the California Department of Fish and Game — have both written letters to the BLM asking the federal agency to close the valve on the pipe in the Bly Tunnel.
The BLM's Eagle Lake Field Office Manager Ken Collum appeared before the board last week and acknowledged the BLM had received the letters, and apparently both agencies have reversed their long-held opinions on the water flowing out of the Bly Tunnel.
He also acknowledged his agency is responsible for the pipe running through the Bly Tunnel and the valve that lets the water flow.
In addition, he said the decision about closing the valve is his to make. He declined to say exactly when he would make a decision, but it could come soon.
It's time to stop playing Button, Button, Who's Got The Button? and close the valve in the Bly Tunnel once and for all.
Even though the experts say the water flowing out of the tunnel has little effect on the water level at Eagle Lake, the on-going controversy over the tunnel will finally come to an end.
With the end of that debate, everyone can focus on the issues the experts say are really to blame for the low water level at Eagle Lake. A clearer focus may lead to some real solutions.

If you ever fight with your significant other about how much to take on a trip, be sure to read "Four Signs You Have a Packing Problem" on one of our favorite sites, the Independent Traveler.com, covering these warning signs:
#1: A Wrinkled Wardrobe
#2: Damaged Goods
#3: Too Much Baggage
#4: Pre-Trip Panic
In addition to the good advice in the article, remember that B&Bs rarely have elevators, and while innkeepers are generally pleased to give you a hand with your luggage, carrying your bags from the car to the house and up one or two flights of stairs is not really in their job description!
Still not convinced? Pack up your suitcase, then carry it from your driveway into your house and up the stairs and repeat. It will help you rethink what's essential and what's not!

Blood tests for lead are going to resume in Butte, according to Terri Hocking, health officer for the Butte-Silver Bow Health Department.
For the past 20 years the health department has conducted blood lead level tests in Butte as part of the residential metals abatement program, according to Hocking. In the last year the health department has found three elevated levels of lead throughout all of their testing in Uptown Butte.
More recently they have drafted a health studies work plan to submit to the Environmental Protection Agency in February. Currently the plan is open to public comment online for a 60 day period, according to Hocking.
At the end of 60 days the health department will hold a public meeting on December 3. Representatives will be available to talk about superfund and non-superfund areas of concern.
View the health studies draft plan at www.bsb.mt.gov.

I get frequent headaches, I don't think they are migraines (with my very limited medical knowledge). These headaches occurs frequently and will only go away if I consume panadol. With my parents screaming at me about how I will get addicted and die young if I eat too much medicine, I tried to refrain from eating panadol to cure my headaches recently and tried to sleep it off. Unfortunately, I woke up in the middle of the night with the WORST headache I've ever experience in my life, barely able to walk straight to grab some panadol, and I woke the next morning feeling just fine.
What could be causing these headaches? I get enough sleep, I eat relatively healthily, I get moderately stressed by school. Could it be the blazing hot weather? But I get headaches during rainy seasons too!
How to I kick my panadol reliance? Any way else I can get rid of headaches without medicine, obviously not eating them just make things worse, or this is something I have to conquer, like I need to go cold turkey.
By the way, I am a regular blood donor, does eating panadol regularly constitutes of taking long term medicine, though I only donate at least 3 days after consumption.

A response to false propaganda on Sri Lanka |
Friday, 13 March 2009 | |
While Sri Lankan armed forces are about to eradicate the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) terrorism from Sri Lanka, Tamil Tiger supporters from the world over seem to be hell-bent on saving them from their predicament. With this in mind, they have started bombarding the UN organizations and its personnel with e-mails (even the High Commissioner for Human Rights had noted how she had been inundated with such messages) accusing the Sri Lankan Government of committing a 'genocide' against Sri Lankan Tamils. Mr. Chandika Indikadahena, a UN employee, who has also received such propaganda e-mails both in his personal and official e-mail accounts, has, in his personal capacity, written to other recipients of these e-mails (of which one is given below) repudiating categorically the false allegations made therein. We reproduce Mr. Indikadahena's responses to some of these allegations here on the Mission's website so that other recipients of those false propaganda e-mails, who are less aware of what's really going on in Sri Lanka, will get a better understanding of the true situation and will not be duped into believing such total fabrications. Propaganda e-mail: Subject: Please Stop The Genocide of Tamils in Srilanka! ….His / Her Excellency, ThankYou for expressing your interest in human rights watch. Tamils(minority) Bleed in srilanka. Srilankan Armed Forces(SLAF) attacks with Cluster bombs, Fire bombs(Chemical Weapons) and Artillery barrage with Cluster Fitted Shells have been systematically deployed by the Srilankan Armed Forces on Tamil civilians targets. The Tamil people(minority) are a nation in the island of Srilanka. The contiguous North-East part of the island is the traditional Homeland of the Tamil people.This Genocide history that started in 1956 has expanded today.More than 2,00,000 Tamil people(minority) have already been killed in this Genocidal history since 1956. Srilankan Armed Forces(SLAF) attacks on Tamils Refugee camps, Hospitals, Convents, Church & "Safty Zones". Impose sanction on the Evil Regime of Rajapakse. For past few weeks from 50 to 100 Tamil civilians are daily getting killed attacks by the srilankan armed forces(SLAF). Tamil civilians dead bodies on road side in Vanni. The Srilankan defence ministry ordered the ICRC to leave the war operating areas immediately as a part of their ongoing Genocide of Tamils. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) lay down the arms, without a permanent political solution, when the Tamil people(minority) are facing a Horrendous Genocide. Srilankan Armed Forces(SLAF) have killed 2018 people in January & February in Vanni - said "The US based Human Rights Watch". Kindly show your attention and ask you must take action to stop the Genocide of Tamils in Srilanka. The Tamil Eelam is only solution to Srilanka's Genocide of Tamils. Tamils need The WHO help immediately. ThankYou very much. Tuesday,10.Mar.2009. India, Chennai.Yours Sincerely, …… (Please open the Eyes! Action for Human Rights! Save in Hope!) Mr. Indikadahena's reply to the allegations made in the previous email: Dear Sir, I refer to the letter dated march 10, 2009 on the subject "The Genocide of Tamils & Immediate Cease Fire in Sri Lanka", which was received by one of the WHO websites. While it is frustratingly difficult to deal with the relentless propaganda of agents of terror bent on achieving their goals at whatever cost, the liberal use of the word genocide demands a reply. The following responses have been limited to the points that have been raised but as you may appreciate a situation as complex as this requires a more in depth look at the facts. Allegation 1 "Tamils (minority) bleed in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan Armed Forces (SLAF) attack with Cluster bombs, fire bombs (Chemical Weapons) and Artillery barrage with Cluster Fitted Shells have been systematically deployed by the Sri Lankan Armed Forces on Tamil civilians targets. Response The Tamils are bleeding and deserve all our sympathy. However, it is not the government that is responsible for this outrage. It is their self appointed protectors, the Tigers that are responsible for their misery. Documented eye witness reports indicate that Tamil civilians are being forcibly held as a human shield to stall the military advance. They are shot at and killed if they tried to escape. The tigers are locating their heavy weapons amongst these civilians and firing at the government forces begging for thousands of casualties. Thus, the army is compelled to move with caution, abandon their heavy weapons and fight man to man increasing the casualties on the government side. There have been repeated calls from the UN, the US and the EU asking them to release the civilians, lay down their arms and join the democratic process. That will bring an immediate end to the war and the suffering of the civilians. As to cluster bombs Sri Lankan army does not have and does not use cluster bombs which are illegal in international law. The United Nations spokesman Gordon Weiss said that they accepted the Sri Lankan statement that it did not have any facility to fire cluster munitions. Concerning chemical weapons : LTTE has already had built up stocks of Cyanide and Potassium during the ceasefire period and 3,600 litres of sulphuric acid were found in their territory as well as 728 litres of Thyonile Chloride was found hidden amongst a toy shipment. Thyonile Chloride can be converted to a chemical weapon substance that can create a choking effect. Sri Lankan army has no chemical weapons. Allegation 2 The Tamil people (minority) are a nation in the island of Srilanka. The contiguous North-East part of the island is the traditional Homeland of the Tamil people. This Genocide history that started in 1956 has expanded today. More than 2,00,000 Tamil people (minority) have already been killed in this Genocidal history since 1956. Sri Lankan Armed Forces (SLAF) attacks on Tamils Refugee camps, Hospitals, Convents, Church & "Safety Zones". Response The Tamil people are a minority of around 2.5 m and constitute 12% of the population. Other minorities groups are Muslims, Malays, Chinese, Indians and burghers. The Sinhalese constitute almost 80% of the population. For this 12% they seek a separate state of 1/3 of the land and 2/3 of the coast. As to the claim of genocide, more than half of this 2.5 million Tamils, are living amongst the Sinhala majority in the rest of the country enjoying equal status as all the citizens. In the commercial capital Colombo in particular nearly 1/3 of the population is Tamil. Genocide on the contrary has been practiced by the Tigers systematically eliminating from "their regions" all other communities so that today there is not one Sinhalese, Muslim, Burgher, Malay or Indian in those areas. Today the president promises the Muslims living as refugees in the south to go back to their homes 20 years after having been chased out by the tigers. See http://www.defence.lk/news/Atro.xml for the more prominent attacks conducted by the Tigers, in particular, note the massacre in 1985 of 120 nuns and other devotees in meditation and prayer at the Sri Maha Bodhi, the most sacred of Buddhist sites in Sri Lanka. In 1998, an LTTE suicide bomber exploded a load of explosives to destroy the second most sacred site of Buddhists, Sacred temple of the tooth relic, killing many civilian devotees. Allegation 3 The Sri Lankan defence ministry ordered the ICRC to leave the war operating areas immediately as a part of their ongoing Genocide of Tamils. Response ICRC is very much operating in the war zone and their ship was shelled by tigers on March 9, 2009 as they brought food and supplies provided by the government of Sri Lanka to the Tamil civilians sheltering in the safe zone. Allegation/Statement 4 The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) [won't] lay down the arms, without a permanent political solution, when the Tamil people (minority) are facing a Horrendous Genocide. Sri Lankan Armed Forces (SLAF) have killed 2018 people in January & February in Vanni - said "The US based Human Rights Watch". Response Every time there has been a ceasefire, the Tigers have used it to reorganize and rearm to become one of the most ruthless terror organizations in the world banned in several countries including the USA, the EU and India, for their use of suicide bombings, child recruitment, assassinations of Tamil and Sinhala leaders as well as Rajiv Gandhi, the former prime minister of India. With the support of the cease fires and the enormous amount of foreign funds from the diaspora as well as the Tsunami reconstruction funds, they built a huge arsenal of weapons comparable to any conventional army. They are the only terror group in the world with air, sea power and now even underwater capability. They had 7 runways and estimated to have 5 planes, two of which were used to bomb in 9/11 style, the city of Colombo (fortunately with little damage) recently on February 20th 2009. During the last cease fire between 2002-2006, 6 rounds of peace talks were held including several in Geneva. Each time, their intransigence and the lack of willingness to accept anything short of a 'separate state' resulted in the failure of the peace talks. Between February 22, 2002 to 30.4.2007, the Sri Lanka monitoring mission reported that Tigers committed 3830 violations of the cease fire as compared to 351 violations by the government of Sri Lanka. The government was thus pushed into this latest war with even greater determination than ever to rid this cancer from its soil. It has been clearly stated by many independent international observers (one such analysis is found at http://www.mackenzieinstitute.com/2009/genocide-talk020609.htm) that LTTE is NOT a representative of the Tamils in Sri Lanka Statement 5 The Tamil Eelam is only solution to Sri Lanka's Genocide of Tamils. Response The government is very mindful that a military solution is not the answer and is very committed to implementing a political solution which it has not been able to do with a terror group that is committed to only one solution and one way of achieving it. The majority community also have their aspirations which cannot be forgotten while facing the barrel of a gun. They oppose overwhelmingly the carving out of a separate state but are comfortable with a greater devolution of power to all provinces. Conclusion The people of Sri Lanka, be they Tamil, Sinhalese or Muslim crave overwhelmingly for peace which is only possible if the Tigers are eliminated and they fully support the efforts of the government. We are an ancient multi ethnic, multi religious country and proud of it. This is not a war between the Tamil and Sinhalese people who have lived for a thousand years in relative harmony. This is a war against one of the most ruthless terror groups the world has ever known. A concerned party |

When Dr. Sullivan (Jeff Fahey) and his wife Katrina (Victoria Jackson) reveal that religion is the key to keeping any marriage strong, the time comes to make an important leap of faith. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

December 2013 brings two important anniversaries for the world of telecom policy. First, December 19 marks the 100th anniversary of the Kingsbury Commitment, the letter from American Telephone and Telegraph Vice President Nathan Kingsbury to to the U.S. Attorney General offering to settle the antitrust action against AT&T by allowing interconnection for all surviving rival phone companies (which by that time mostly meant companies in rural areas AT&T did not want to buy) and supporting the concept of universal service. (text here)
Second, December 10 marks the tenth anniversary of when I started doing this blog, Tales of the Sausage Factory.
Stipulated the first has had much greater impact on telecom policy, but I like to think we here at Wetmachine have done our bit as best we can. For those curious, here is a link to my first ever post, although I actually think this over here (which quickly follows) remains one of the funniest things I've ever written about telecom policy (mind you, this is not a hard bar to meet).
A few nostalgic reflections and links to my favorite posts below, as well as seeking reader advice on what to do going forward . . .

Who knew there was so much life in a cemetery?
My home inspection yesterday was across the street from a huge cemetery. Cemeteries are rare here in San Diego, certainly much rarer than in my home state of Texas where I think there were just as many cemeteries as there were churches.
Although we used to play in the cemeteries in Kingsville, Texas, when I was growing up, and they have tours of cemeteries in New Orleans, I had not been in a cemetery in 20 or 25 years.
I took 357 pictures in the cemetery in a little over two hours. Here are fourteen of my favorites:
The cemetery was actually quite relaxing, and I wasn't the only one who thought that:
Squirrels were frolicking everywhere but were wary of me:
I saved the best for last. I don't know if the gal in this picture is a coyote or fox. I'm thinking it's too big and too light to be a fox. Anyone?
I was at Mt. Hope Cemetery, a municipal cemetery for the City of San Diego. Two other cemeteries are nearby: Holy Cross Cemetery, a Catholic cemetery; and Greenwood Memorial Park, an endowed care cemetery, which means you have to pay big bucks to be buried there.
Cremate me, scatter my ashes one-third at Blacks Beach in San Diego; one-third under the Century Oak at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas; and one-third on the railroad tracks at the Union Pacific Railroad yard in Omaha, Nebraska. Then forget about me and get back to enjoying life.
Oh, by the way. Ask me how many living people I saw in the cemetery in two hours.
YOU: Russel, how many living people did you see in the cemetery while you were there?
ME: Three. A San Diego Gas & Electric employee was hiding out in his company truck parked under a tree. He was sleeping. Probably wore himself out at the Padres game the day before when we beat the dastardly Dodgers 8-4. A groundskeeper was mowing the lawns. A lady was pulling weeds from around the headstone at the grave she was visiting, obviously not happy with the job the cemetery was doing.

Nov 6, 2009 1:44 AM by James Jarman
News First Investigates has uncovered a covert FBI operation that went so badly a confidential FBI informant's now accused of attempted murder.
The informant's accused of shooting up a house and trying to kill 2 babies, a 4 year old boy and 4 women.
Springs Police say the informant was wearing a wire during the shooting, and audio recordings show he planned and committed the violent attack during a covert FBI operation.
The victim's in the shooting showed News First Investigates the bullet holes in their living room, and how closely one bullet came to a 7 month old toddler - just a few inches.
It all happened at a home on Cucharras Street last Valentines day. At that time, and for quite a while after, the victims say didn't know suspected Robert Rodarte was working for the FBI.
"It makes me very, very, I get really angry. But what do you do?" said Diane Baltazar, the young childrens' grandmother, "There's nothing you can do, I just... I don't know."
Court records explain that Rodarte was an undercover informant for the FBI's Southern Colorado Safe Streets Gang Task Force, which includes officers from Colorado Springs Police. He was wearing a wire when he and several suspected gang members met in a motel room that the task force also wired for video and live audio surveillance.
However, it appears task force members did not hear the group plan a violent attack against suspected rival gang member Jorge Perez. Court records state, "the audio recorder did not have a headphone jack," which meant task force members could not hear anything inside the motel room.
It also appears no task force member was monitoring Rodarte during the covert operation. No one followed him and the group to the house where Perez lived.
Perez wasn't home, but the mother of his children and her family - 4 women and 3 children were there.
"And the guy sees me, he points the gun, he starts shooting and I go running to grab my baby and we run upstairs," Susie Baltazar, mother of a 4 year old boy and 7 month old girl she had with Perez.
Audio recordings, not released to News First 5, appear to show Rodarte knew the women and children were in the house when eight .40 calibre bullets were fired into home. Police say the recording from the "wire" Rodarte was wearing reveals he told his friends "I shot the whole family up."
"My son doesn't like to stay home, he likes to go to his grandma's house," said Susie Baltazar, "my son's always thinking that somebody's going to come by shooting."
Diane Baltazar says her 4 year old grandson still has nightmares about the shooting and is scared when loud cars drive by her house. She says he'll tell her, "'Grandma go to the ground! Duck!' And I'm like 'No. It's ok.. It's ok"
Even though Jorge Perez is now arrested on drug charges in a separate case and is accused of being a top tier Surenos gang member, the family denies any gang involvement. They think whoever was in charge of the covert FBI operation thought there were gang members inside the home, and because of that, didn't care if informant Rodarte shot anyone.
"Regardless of who we are, or what we are, we're a family, people love us and we love our kids and how can they just let it happen, how do they sleep at night with that thought?" Diane Baltazar told News First 5.
Court records show defense attorneys are already accusing FBI task force members of "outrageous government conduct." Claiming, in part, "the government is complicit in numerous felony offenses in the State of Colorado, including possession of a weapon by a previous offender, possession of schedule 2 controlled substance, attempted murder."
We've been trying for several months to get police records and comments from law enforcement on this case. Colorado Springs police told us the FBI would have to answer our questions because it's an FBI task force.
Shortly after this story was posted to newsfirst5.com an FBI spokeswoman told News First Investigates that they can't comment until the case is adjudicated.
