He was not considered seriously ill by relatives but the sick man's vitality had been at a low ebb for a number of years. He was never well and was under medical treatment most of the time.

He was an early settler in Fillmore County, locating here in 1870. His native town, Rolfshagen, Germany, where he was born in 1849. He was married to Laura Saatman in 1885. The funeral services were held in the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Otto Klatt of the Lutheran Church assisted by Rev. C.E. Gwins conducting the services.

Dry offshore winds and low humidity prompted a red flag fire warning in Northern California and broke two record high temperatures on Thursday in Humboldt County, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Brian Garcia.
"Crescent City got into 75 degrees, Eureka got to 70 degrees," Garcia said. "It's a lot different than we'd see this time of year. Our normal for Eureka this time of year is 56 degrees."
The cause of the high temperatures is a combination of low pressure and dry offshore winds. Garcia said the winds travel down the mountains to the coast and compress, causing them to become dry.
"Today we had some good downsloping winds with this area of low pressure," Garcia said. "Really dry air, low humidity -- that's the reason for the fire weather warning."
The dry weather also caused the National Weather Service to issue a red flag warning, which Garcia said "are nearly unheard of for this time of year."
The CalFire website states that red flag warnings are issued when the weather "may result in extreme fire behavior that will occur within 24 hours."
Garcia said that beachgoers looking to make the most out of the warm weather should stay further inland due to sneaker waves -- large, powerful waves lurking amid smaller surf after being driven over long distances from storms across the ocean. Sneaker waves began to hit the North Coast Thursday and will continue into tomorrow.
"It is imperative that people remain back from the surf and off of the jetty and rocks," Garcia said. "You never know which one of those waves will sneak up and grab you."

Bigtime lobbying efforts certainly aren't merely reserved for the halls and haunts of Washington DC. A new report out today from the Los Angeles City Ethics Commission outlined issues that lobbying firms spent the most billable hours working on in LA during the first quarter of 2013. Among them was NBCUniversal's "Evolution Plan," the proposed $1.6B upgrade of its TV production facilities, office space and infrastructure on the Universal lot and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter area at its Universal Studios Hollywood theme park. The report says NBCUniversal paid more than $330,000 to a pair of lobbying outfits to win hearts and votes for its mammoth undertaking. Another big buyer of lobbying services at City Hall was CBS Outdoor, the CBS Corp-owned billboard giant that spent more than $205,000 to back its interests in outdoor advertising legislation, including the local hot-button issue of digital billboards. And LA Live owner AEG paid $130,000-plus for its quarter worth of lobbying efforts. Hollywood.

(CBS/AP) FRANKFURT, Germany - Arid Uka, the Kosovo Albanian gunman accused of killing two U.S. airmen and critically injuring a third, was an employee at the busy Frankfurt airport where he opened fire Wednesday, reports The Daily Mail.
German officials are investigating whether the fatal shooting could be considered an act of Islamic terrorism. The 21-year-old suspect, who authorities say has confessed to targeting American military members, claims he acted alone and does not belong to a terrorist network or terrorist cell.
Uka, a devout Muslim nicknamed Abu Reyann, reportedly yelled "God is great" in Arabic as he boarded and opened fire on a bus loaded with U.S. airmen Wednesday on their way from their base in England to serve in Afghanistan, said Marine Col. Dave Lapan, a Pentagon spokesman.
Authorities say he gunned down his first victim as the soldier stood in front of the vehicle at Terminal 2 before turning his weapon on the driver as he sat behind the wheel, reports The Daily Mail.
Another serviceman was gunned down as he returned a luggage trolley and a fourth man was also injured.
Uka is believed to have fired nine times before his gun jammed and he was taken down by police. He was immediately taken into custody and is expected Thursday in federal court in Karlsruhe.
Though the U.S. Embassy in Kosovo's capital of Pristina referred to "the act of a single individual," Lapan at the Pentagon said it was still not clear whether others could have been involved in planning the attack.
"One of the key focuses if the investigation will be to determine whether others were involved in the incident besides the shooter," Lapan said.
German investigators said Uka was radicalized over the past few weeks, but they believe he acted alone.In Washington, President Obama said he was "saddened and outraged" by the attack. "We will spare no effort in learning how this outrageous act took place and in working with German authorities to ensure that all of the perpetrators are brought to justice."
"But this is a stark reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices that our men and women in uniform are making all around the world to keep us safe, and the dangers that they face all around the globe, " the President said.

Officers and Employees of the Year
Peace Officer of the Year 2015 - Sean Moore
Sean Moore began his law enforcement career at the Yuba County Sheriff's Office on December 7, 2006 as a Deputy Sheriff. Sean follows in the footsteps of his late grandfather Dennis Moore who worked his way through the ranks of the Sheriff's Office achieving the rank of Undersheriff of the County. Since he was young, Sean wanted to work in the public service field, either in the military, as a firefighter, or in law enforcement. After graduating high school he geared his studies toward being a firefighter. Sean went to the Yuba College Fire Academy where he graduated in 2001 and began working at the Linda Fire Department as a volunteer/paid on call firefighter for the next two years. At the time it was very difficult to find a full time position as a firefighter and he began working in construction. While working in construction, Sean spoke to his grandfather about his experiences in law enforcement and at the Yuba County Sheriff's Department. It was then Sean decided law enforcement was the path he wanted to take. Sean continued working construction full time and began the modular police academy program at Yuba College. Upon graduating from the academy in 2005 he began working at the Sheriff's Office. Sean has held a number of specialty positions during his nine years with the Department. In 2010, Sean was selected to be a member of our Gang Unit and served in this capacity for two years. Sean has been a member the Technical Search and Rescue/Dive Team for the past 8 years and also serves as a departmental firearms instructor, having been selected for that position this year. The area that Sean has made his greatest contribution and impact this year is in the area of marijuana enforcement. Sean is a member of the department's marijuana eradication team. Team members take on this commitment as an ancillary duty to their regular assignments, making their dedication even more commendable. The team has been very successful this marijuana season and that success was made possible through the leadership of Deputy Sean Moore. His expertise has proven invaluable time and again in these complex investigations. His knowledge of the subject matter enables him to work through the deliberate attempts to conceal this illegal activity, often under the guise of medicinal marijuana. The execution of search warrants on cultivation sites are among the most physically demanding and dangerous actions taken by law enforcement. Deputy Moore's leadership and experience have proven invaluable as he helps keep our people safe. Sean received a Bronze Medal of Merit for his contributions to the 2015 Marijuana Eradication Team. Sean and his wife Apriel, have two sons, Brody and Jesse and make their home in Oregon House. His hobbies include spending time with his family, hunting, fishing, camping, and working on his 1970 Ford Bronco restoration project

He knew it was difficult for them and he hoped that someday his career would enable him to help his family. His parents encouraged him to remain focused in school and to work hard to accomplish his lifelong goals. He is thankful for the support and guidance he received from his parents and siblings. It is this focus, dedication and work ethic that led to him being overwhelmingly nominated by his co-workers for the Correctional Officer of the Year.

Eventually she would like to move to a state or federal agency; She is currently interested in the U.S. Marshall's Fugitive Task Force.

William McDonough – From products to cities
William McDonough – "From Products to Cities" taken from Copenhagen X on Vimeo. Cradle to Cradle has become one of the major methods used to combat the stress that modern lifestyles put on Nature. It started out with products, moved to buildings and urban plans and now aims to become a global strategy for improving the future of our planet.
In this interview, William McDonough explains the Cradle to Cradle concept and discusses the nature of its application to everything from individual products to entire cities.
In recent years, Cradle to Cradle has received massive attention, notably for the vision it presents of a future without the massive natural destruction that our current consumption causes. Thanks to the concept, many architects, designers, urban planners and politicians have come to see new opportunities in creating products, buildings and cities that enhance rather than undermine our future.
Overall, the Cradle to Cradle concept centers around designing products that can be used as either biological or technical nutrients after fulfilling their initial purpose. The biological nutrients can be materials designed to flow optimally through the cycles of ecosystems such as biodegradable packaging designed to nourish living systems after performing its human use. The technical nutrients are valuable, high-tech synthetics and mineral resources designed to circulate in closed-loop systems of perpetual production, recovery and remanufacture. Also, Cradle to Cradle incorporates the production process of these nutrients before their human use, which entails the efficient use of renewable energy, the efficient use of water in a manner that does not damage its quality, and the institution of strategies for social responsibility.
"The cradle to cradle concept essentially calls for everything to be seen as a nutrient - whether this is a technological or biological nutrient. And that this nutrient has reverse logistics, that it is powered by renewable energy, that the water is clean, and that people are treated fairly in the process." (William McDonough)
Products that conform to this approach can be certified as a
Cradle to Cradle product. Of course, the certification is presently
more about intentions and planning but it seems it will soon become
more about sticking to an intended course of action and continually
working towards implementing intentions fully. Needless to say, the
Cradle to Cradle principles increase in complexity as one increases
in scale from products to buildings to cities. This means that the
degree of detail is more important in relation to products and that
general tendencies or overall principles are more important in
relation to buildings and cities.
Buildings and Cities
Cradle to Cradle buildings are honoured with a prize for selected qualities and characteristics of the building. An example could be that the windows are owned by the manufacturer who is responsible for the afterlife of the windows, making sure they go back into the technical nutrient cycle. At city level, it is about putting a layer of sustainable strategies on top of the existing city. Examples of this can be found in Liuzhou, China or Almere, the Netherlands. In these cities, one strategy has been a focus on viewing the waste systems as nutrients. Thus, their waste management plans are based on systems of exploitation and the utility of nutrients. Consequently, Cradle to Cradle is about using a new language and seeing opportunities and benefits instead of limitations and problems.
"The most interesting project for us was the city Liuzhou in China. We were not designing a whole city per se, what we were doing were overlays of sustainable strategies." (William McDonough)
The fact that Cradle to Cradle buildings and cities are more about general principles does not necessarily mean lower ambitions. On the contrary, the expectations are higher in relation to what buildings and cities give back to nature. Buildings and cities must be photosynthetic and are expected to produce energy or oxygen. This makes fundamental differences in relation to urban planning and architecture. It changes the way we build cities and design buildings.
Cradle to Cradle globally
Today, the ambition is to disseminate Cradle to Cradle globally. Currently, work is in progress to create a non-profit institution, hopefully in California, in charge of the Cradle to Cradle certification. The vision is to create a place where governments and public authorities from many countries are assisting in assigning Cradle to Cradle certifications, thereby creating a global certification strategy. The government of California has already taken a decisive step towards a Cradle to Cradle economy via a green chemical initiative that specifies how companies can produce without destroying the environment.
About William McDonough
William McDonough is a world-renowned architect and designer and winner of three U.S. presidential awards: the Presidential Award for Sustainable Development (1996), the National Design Award (2004); and the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award (2003).
Mr. McDonough is the founding principal of William McDonough
Partners, Architecture and Community Design, an internationally
recognized design firm practicing ecologically, socially, and
economically intelligent architecture and planning in the U.S. and
He is also the cofounder and principal, with German chemist Michael Braungart, of McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC), which employs a comprehensive Cradle to Cradle design protocol to chemical benchmarking, supply-chain integration, energy and materials assessment, clean-production qualification, and sustainability issue management and optimization.

While his team didn't get the result he felt they deserved against Hereford United, Braintree Town manager Alan Devonshire was impressed with them in their 1-1 draw against the Bulls.
Dan Holman's 33rd minute goal – his third in four Skrill Premier games – was cancelled out three minutes later by a strike from Dan Walker after the former Iron loan striker pounced on a moment of hesitancy in the home defence.
Despite Braintree heaping pressure on the visitors in the latter stages of the game, including a rasping shot by Bernard Mensah that forced Bulls keeper Daniel Lloyd-Weston into an outstanding save, that was how it stayed.
Devonshire was disappointed his team were unable to get the goals and result he felt their endeavours merited, but was pleased with their performance.
He said: "We were the only team trying to win the game.
"It was a poor goal for us to give away, but there were lots of positives for me.
"Hereford are a full-time team, but in the last 20 minutes, who looked the fitter side?
"That looks good for us because we have some hard games coming up.
"The keeper made a good save from that shot by Bernard, but we had lots of other balls across the six-yard box.
"There were some great balls, but people want it perfect sometimes.
"We had enough bodies in there and we should have scored more.
"That's the only disappointing thing if anything was.
"But I'm delighted with the shift that they've put in again since we've come back.
"I'm disappointed not to have won it because we deserved to, but I'm not going to chastise the players.

It's not a collaboration many would have seen coming, but the people at Maxim have been longtime fans of Epic Games' Gears of War franchise. The titular men's magazine announced today that they've collaborated with the Gears developer to bring a single map to Xbox Live, as well as the return of Execution Mode.
The best part about this Gears of War: Judgment DLC is that it'll be completely free – saving those VIP Season Passes for later deals.
Titled Haven, the new map features a former-oasis turned frozen nightmare. Planet Sara's tectonic plating has undergone several shifts, resulting in the drastic transition to the formerly temperate atmosphere of Haven. The level design plays out like an asymmetric circle, which funnels all of the players to the centre no matter what route they take. With the chaos of combat climaxing in the middle, this map is sure to combine entertainment and killing sprees in one package.
While Maxim has only teased tidbits about the upcoming DLC, gamers can take a look below to dress themselves for the weather:
As you can see in the pictures above, while the centre contains most of the action, stealthy players can find themselves in sniper coves placed around the map to gain the field advantage, and by default these areas will contain both torquebows and breechshots. In return, the fighters on the ground can obtain either a booshka or a digger launcher, which will be great at 'exposing' those pesky snipers.
The Maxim-sponsored DLC will also bring the return of Execution Mode, which plays out like a standard team deathmatch – the only difference being players will only go 'down but not out', and they'll get back on their unless they're quickly executed. This is the only way to kill enemies, unless a one-shot kill weapon happens to blow them to pieces.
What do you think about Maxim sponsoring the DLC, Ranters? Are you excited to get a free map and gamemode?
For more, check out the leaked opening cinematic and multiplayer trailer.
Gears of War: Judgment will release for Xbox 360 on March 19th, 2013 and the Maxim DLC will follow, for free, on April 2nd.

Healthy Weight / Healthy BMI
BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is important to know what your BMI does and does not indicate about your weight, health and lifestyle choices. Your BMI is calculated from your height and weight. It is a fairly reliable indicator of body fat for most adults, with athletes and the elderly being two exceptions. BMI is an inexpensive alternative to direct measurements of body fat, such as underwater weighing, but it is only one of many factors that you and your health-care provider should use in evaluating your health status.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention uses BMI to define terms like overweight and obese:

I will be making this cake . I've seen many ways to quilt but all of them seem to not come out looking like the photo. I would like a nice fluffy pillow look to each diamond.
I found a diamond 3 in a row quilter but The diamonds are very narrow and In the photo there more boxed shaped. Any advice ? Should I buy the quilter since its a guarantee that the cake would like similar [IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3041581/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
I made this cake a few weeks back. I used a plastic diamond imprint mat and a fondant smoother to mark the lines, and then went over them lightly with a fondant cutting wheel to make the lines deeper. For a puffier look, roll your fondant a bit thicker. You can press into in deeper with the cutter without cutting all the way through, and it will look more cushiony. The picture you uploaded looks like the cake is slightly airbrushed in spots to exaggerate the puffy look. As for the shape of your diamond cutter/imprint mat, Amazon has a few different ones to choose from. That's where I got mine.
AUse lots of buttercream under your fondant, and then cover it in plastic wrap before you make your lines. You will got "pillowy" instead of sharp lines this way. I have used a ruler instead of any type of cutter/marker and it works just fine.

All Product Details
Now, Luis Alberto Urrea tells the story of this modern odyssey. He takes us back to the small towns and unpaved cities south of the border, where the poor fall prey to dreams of a better life and the sinister promises of smugglers. We meet the men who will decide to make the crossing along the Devil's Highway and, on the other side of the border, the men who are ready to prevent them from reaching their destination. Urrea reveals exactly what happened when the twenty-six headed into the wasteland, and how they were brutally betrayed by the one man they had trusted most. And from that betrayal came the inferno, a descent into a world of cactus spines, labyrinths of sand, mountains shaped like the teeth of a shark, and a screaming sun so intense that even at midnight the temperature only drops to 97 degrees. And yet, the men would not give up. The Devil's Highway is a story of astonishing courage and strength, of an epic battle against circumstance. These twenty-six men would look the Devil in the eyes and some of them would not blink.

text: UK 8 May 2012 Marriage Guidance The debate on same sex marriage has so far been dominated by its opponents. Sign up to the Staggers Morning Call email * Print HTML More than half a million people have now signed the Coalition For Marriage's petition against the government's proposal to permit same-sex marriage. For a campaign that didn't even exist a few months ago, it's an extraordinary achievement. A rival petition supporting the equalisation of the marriage laws has attracted barely a tenth the number of signatures. There have been signs in recent days that the campaign to prevent what had seemed a fait accompli is beginning to scent victory, at least in the battle for public opinion. The government remains committed to the reform, but in the wake of the coalition parties' poor showing in the local elections there has been a notable lack of enthusiasm for it, especially on the Tory benches. Nadine Dorries spoke for more of her colleagues than usual the other day when she described same sex marriage the other day as a policy "pursued by the metro elite gay activists" that needs to be "put into the same bin" as Lords reform. "Gay marriage" has become a symbol of everything that the Conservative right hates about the coalition and about David Cameron's modernising agenda. There is, in fact, a persuasive logic to Cameron's conservative case for same-sex marriage. With its history and moral weight, the word "marriage" has a magic that the newly invented status of civil partnership lacks. To invite gay couples to participate in the institution is not only to offer them full acceptance (the "progressive" part). It is also to ask them to embrace the traditional, and conservative, moral obligations of marriage. At the same time, opening marriage to same-sex couples might give it new appeal to younger, liberal-minded heterosexuals currently suspicious of its historic baggage. But the case has not been well made. It doesn't help that the proposals themselves are illogical and badly thought-through, and would raise more anomalies than they solve. By closing down options, for example refusing to countenance allowing heterosexual couples to enter civil partnerships, the March consultation document missed an opportunity for a genuine national debate on the nature of marriage and the state's role in registering it. Declaring the policy already decided also generated a predictable backlash. The impression of arrogance was not helped by Lynne Featherstone, the Lib Dem minister responsible, offering a "cast-iron guarantee" that the change would be introduced before the next election (a promise she repeated yesterday). Instead, opponents of changing the law have dominated the discussion. Their greatest success has been in portraying the government's proposals as involving a fundamental redefinition of marriage. Concentrating on the word rather than the substance presents the change as more radical than it actually is (from a practical point of view, the introduction of civil partnerships represented a much greater advance in the state's acceptance of same-sex relationships). It also leads to some fairly reactionary arguments. The Coalition For Marriage states, for example, that marriage "reflects the complementary natures of men and women" -- a position not far removed from a demand that men go out to work while women stay at home looking after the kids. The same suggestion was made in a letter from the Roman Catholic archbishops that was controversially circulated to Catholic schools. Ironically, such an argument is itself an attempt to redefine marriage, or at least to return to an older definition. Even understood as a relationship between one man and one woman, marriage has changed profoundly during the centuries, from being an institution based on the exchange of property and securing the legitimacy of children to one based on the mutual relationship of the spouses. US Vice President Joe Biden encapsulated it well when he came out in support of same sex marriage at the weekend. It was, he said, "a simple proposition -- who do you love? And will you be loyal to the person you love? That's what all marriages at root are about." This hasn't always been the case. Rooting marriage in the difference between the sexes rather than their equality, as the Campaign for Marriage does, looks like an attempt to set the clock back. This is why the issue of same sex marriage should not merely be of concern to gay people. Opening marriage to homosexual couples isn't just a recognition that they are now a full part of society. It's also a logical expression of the modern understanding of marriage as a partnership between equals. › Too fast, too slow – how the passing of time is shaping politics for Cameron and Miliband Same-sex statues on top of a wedding cake.

Apple denies accusations of collusion over e-books
WASHINGTON -- Apple Inc. said Friday the U.S. government's accusation that it conspired with major book publishers to raise the price of e-books is untrue.
Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr said that instead, Apple fostered innovation and competition by introducing its iBookstore in 2010. He said customers have benefited from e-books that are more interactive and engaging.
Apple's entry into the e-book marketplace has broken "Amazon's monopolistic grip on the publishing industry," said Neumayr.

Ratings for Dr. Raymond J. Reilly
Dr Reilly is an exceptionally gifted surgeon and a very kind caring person. I was extremely lucky to have found such a wonderful doctor!
Dr. Reilly is the best Gyn Doc around....He takes time w/his patients and answers any and all questions. I have been his patient since 1981 and he has diagnosed my health 100%.... No need for a 2nd opinion here!
If I could choose Dr. Reilly as my PCP I would. Unfortunatly, he's only GYN. I have had several surgeries done by him. He always put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. He's professional in his patient care, and cares about each and every one of his patients. He remembers me from visit to visit (as well as my family, work and personal facts) and always makes it a point to ask how things are going. Professional, compassionate, caring, gentle, kind - I could go on and on . . . He's the BEST!!!!
Dr. Reilly is not only a gifted surgeon but also an expert in his field.. He spent time with me and clarified any concerns I had about surgury. He also has a great amount of patience and compassion for his patients. I had surgury on 3-16-09 and it was a great success because of him and his talented team
Dr Reilly is the best!! Wonderful, kind, and knowledgeable doctor!!
Dr. Reilly took the most amazing care of my Mom when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1984. I was so happy she got in to see him because I am an RN in the OB/GYN field and his well-earned reputation preceded him. My Mom passed away in 2001 from a recurrence of the cancer, and I will never forget how Dr. Reilly visited her in the hospital every single morning before his rounds, even though she was under the care of Oncology service at that time. He is as kind and compassionate as he is clinically superb.
Dr. Reilly is the sweetest doctor you could ever imagine. You will always wait a long time for him, but I don't care. He fit me in on an emergency basis when I was a new patient. I hope he does that for others. He is only a gyn now, no OB patients. He always apologizes for keeping me waiting and he always makes me feel like I'm important. Dr. Reilly has a cute Irish accent and asks about my life, aside from gyn stuff. He is just a fantastic, old-fashioned doctor. Bring a book, but he is WELL worth the wait. I don't know what I will do when he retires. I drive 1 hour to see him. He operated on me for a large ovarian cyst and endometriosis and made me feel 100% comfortable. I can't say enough about how fantastic he is!

Check the compatibility
The user should check the compatibility of the driver software with the existing Operating System upon the computer. The incompatible drivers cause issues with the user while working with the printer device connected to the system. The driver software should also be compatible or suitable for the particular printer device. Else the printer cannot run for performing the printing works.

In order to avoid the issues that are causing issues with the driver installations, the user should do some actions before the installation. Check whether the system includes any other driver software for the printer device currently connected or for any other old printers. If such software are present upon the system, then the user should remove them from the system with the help of Device Manager, else those software cause conflicts upon the system.

Want pretty lawn? Let's wait for rain
The March edition of "The Woodsman," Beacon Woods' monthly newsletter, just hit the lawns on Feb. 27 and an article on the front page shows how little the green-grass zealots of this community understand the drought we are in.
They remind, "owners with lawn violations have been notified that they have until March 15 to resod their lawns." Do they not understand that were are in a very serious drought situation and that the months of March, April and May are historically the driest months of the year in Florida? We do not get the spring rains that are typical in the north. Our rains don't begin until mid-June.
Waiting until then to resod makes more sense than what the Beacon Woods Civic Association is demanding. New sod requires a lot of water to get established and waiting until June would be more advantageous to its well-being and less dependent on the sprinkler systems to deliver the water it needs, especially when we are in the drought.
I hope someone from either Pasco County or the Southwest Florida Water Management District reads this and contacts the people on the Beacon Woods board and demand that they back off their demands for all of our benefit.
We don't need to be wasting water. Isn't that what the water experts are all trying to tell us? Or don't you get it?

Let ferrets back in the airplanes
I read with interest regarding the New Port Richey lady who was unable to fly to Massachusetts with her pet guinea pig. I am a member-at-large for the American Ferret Association, an organization which holds ferret shows all over the country for domestic ferrets.
Ferrets require the same inoculations as dogs and cats, rabies and distemper, and we must show proof of same in order to gain entry to our shows. Ferrets were allowed for years to be flown in-cabin until last year when Delta (the only carrier to allow them in-cabin) and Northwest Airlines merged.
Currently, Delta only allows, per their Web site, dogs, cats and household birds in cabin at $150 one-way. However, for $275 one-way, they will allow "cats, dogs, household birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, and marmots are accepted as checked baggage." So, in fact, they do allow guinea pigs if you wish to pay the fee.
Most certainly, Delta does not appear to know what the current wording for its own Web site: A marmot is a wild animal, another word for a ground hog, not a companion animal. Ferrets are sold all over the country in pet shops, the same as other companion animals, and by reputable breeders for those who wish to show their animals.
I have previously traveled from Tampa to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, carrying two ferrets in a small carrier that fit under the seat in front of me. The maximum a tiny carrier would weigh would be 5 pounds. Presently, not only our judges but many of our regular exhibitors from all parts of the country are now unable to travel to our shows.
Delta has now exclusively banned reputable breeders who wish to travel to other parts of the country to breed their animals. To my knowledge, no marmots are ever sold in pet stores, nor do they have a national organization in which they are shown. I don't know about guinea pigs as such.
The American Ferret Association is aggressively letting Delta Airlines know these facts and trying to get them to rescind the current order not allowing them to fly at all. Even at the ridiculous price of $275 one-way, exhibitors would at least have the right to fly with their ferrets in checked baggage, But even that is not allowed.
The ban on all small animals has particularly hurt many senior citizens as well, who perhaps cannot afford a dog or a cat and want a small companion animal.

Country of Origin Labels Take the Mystery out of Meat.
People deserve the right to know how and where their food was produced so they can make informed decisions about what they're feeding themselves and their families—it's that simple.
Food & Water Watch and its allies are fighting hard across the country to make the labeling of genetically engineered (GE) food the law.
Food labels are a straightforward and fundamental concept but consumer advocates and concerned citizens have been fighting for honest, transparent labels about their food for centuries, and the fight rages on.
However, there's another important label that is law, but its fate is hanging in the balance—Country of Origin Labeling, or COOL.
After more than a decade of hard work, the COOL rule was included in the 2008 Farm Bill and has had overwhelming support from both consumers and U.S. farmers, despite repeated attempts by the food industry to kill the program and delay its implementation.
Today, because of COOL, consumers know more about where their food comes from, although there are still too many loopholes and limitations. COOL applies to fresh seafood, cuts of meat (but not processed meats like sausage), fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables and several kinds of nuts.
But even before the first COOL label was slapped on a steak or pork chop, the meatpacking industry sought to unravel COOL by challenging these commonsense consumer labels at the World Trade Organization as an illegal barrier to international trade.
At the end of 2011, the World Trade Organization ruled that although COOL labels were a legitimate goal, the United States' COOL program is a violation of international trade law.
In March of 2012, President Obama stood up for American consumers and farmers and appealed the WTO's decision, but the U.S. lost the appeal in June.
Essentially, the WTO over-ruled the U.S. Congress and the overwhelming majority of consumers and farmers.
Then, recently, Senators Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), Tim Johnson (D-S.D.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and 27 of their colleagues from both parties, sent a letter to U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Trade Representative urging that any changes to the COOL rule must continue to give consumers information about the source of the meat in their grocery carts.
People deserve the right to know how and where their food was produced so they can make informed decisions about what they're feeding themselves and their families—it's that simple. We applaud Senator Tester and his colleagues for standing up for consumers' right to know and hope the Obama Administration follows suit.
Please join us in asking President Obama and Secretary Vilsack to protect country origin labeling.

The South has decided to be defeated and dumb. (BY Garry Wills)
Dumb America
Garry Wills
No part of the country will suffer the effects of global warming earlier or with more devastation than the South, yet its politicians resist measures to curb carbon emissions and deny the very existence of climate changesending it to the dungeon with evolution and biblical errancy. One doesnt need much imagination to see the South with lowered or swollen waters in its rivers and ports, raging kudzu, swarming mosquitos, and record-breaking high temperatures, still telling itself that global-warming talk is just a liberal conspiracy. But it just digs deeper in denial. The South has decided to be defeated and dumb.
Humans should always cling to what is good about their heritage, but that depends on being able to separate what is good from what is bad. It is noble to oppose mindless change, so long as that does not commit you to rejecting change itself. The South defeats its own cause when it cannot discriminate between the good and the evil in its past, or pretends that the latter does not linger on into the present: Some in the South deny that the legacy of slavery exists at all in our time. The best South, exemplified by the writers listed above, never lost sight of that fact. Where are the writers of that stature today in the Tea Party South? I was made aware of the odd mix of gain and loss when I went back to Atlanta to see my beloved grandmother. She told me not to hold change between my lips while groping for a pocket to put it inThat might have been in a niggers mouth. Once, when she took me to Mass, she walked out of the church when a black priest came out to celebrate. I wondered why, since she would sit and eat with a black woman who helped her with housework. It is the dignityI would not let him take the Lord in his hands.
Tradition dies hard, hardest among those who cannot admit to the toll it has taken on them. That is why the worst aspects of the South are resurfacing under Obamas presidency. It is the dignity. That a black should have not merely rights but prominence, authority, and even awethat is what many Southerners cannot stomach. They would let him ride on the bus, or get into Ivy League schools. But he must be kept from the altar; he cannot perform the secular equivalent of taking the Lord in his hands. It is the dignity.
This is the thing that makes the South the distillation point for all the fugitive extremisms of our time, the heart of Say-No Republicanism, the home of lost causes and nostalgic lunacy. It is as if the whole continent were tipped upward, so that the scattered crazinesses might slide down to the bottom. The South has often been defeated. Now it is defeating itself.

1. They have to learn the hard way and experience the effects to the point that it wakes them up
In North Carolina there have been over 50 mudslides since the first of the year.
There has been a deluge of landslides over roadways, with nearly 50 slope failures causing problems on state-maintained roads, according to the Asheville Citizen-Times.
"We've had four in Cherokee County, three in Clay County, 23 in Graham County, eight in Haywood, 10 in Jackson, two in Macon, six in Swain and none in Henderson, Polk and Transylvania," said Joel Setzer, district engineer for District 14, which comprises the 10 westernmost counties.
Setzer noted that these are only slides on state-maintained roads. More have occurred on private roads.
Giant Washout Strands Residents Near Bluff City Tennessee (Jan 19)Members of the Hickory Tree Volunteer Fire Department began draining flood waters Saturday from a massive sinkhole on Barnette Road in the Chinquapin Road community, just outside of Bluff City, Tenn.
Resident Bobby Barnett says he's never seen it flood this bad.
"I've lived here all my life- it's the worst I've ever seen it. I've seen it flood before, but this is so much it can't take it. Somethings gonna have to be done about that hole right there," says Barnett.

So I guess these Southerners will have to learn the hard way that global warming is real and because of the people they support it will only get worse.

2. Sad but true
The people of the American south (no, of course not every one of us!) are their own worst enemies. I never cease to be amazed by the willingness of "the north" to subsidize "the south" while being hated a villified by the recipients of the largesse. The Repuke "congressman" who represents the Mississippi Gulf Coast actually voted AGAINST helping the victims of Superstorm Sandy.

3. Great. Another South bashing thread.
How come we never see North bashing threads, considering many now have GOP governors and majorities in state houses?
Are all of those men and women for fighting global warming?

5. I struggle with this...
I agree and have seen read about all the horrible weather. Melting in some places freezing in other. Our contribution to chemicals in the air. We do extinguish forest fires more quickly that would normally just continue but we also start more
But the planet has been here for 4.5 billion years. If we say that we have 300 years of data that would represent 0.00000006666666% of the time. Its very little data to pass judgment on a eons long evolution. We are entering our 11th year of the suns 11year activity cycle. It might be another bad year. I'm not sure how I get my arms around this?

Notice to Members 03-11
SEC Approves Changes to Rule on Clearly Erroneous Transactions; Changes Effective Immediately
On January 22, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved changes to NASD Rule 11890 regarding the handling of clearly erroneous transactions. The changes, which take effect immediately, are intended primarily to clarify the rule's scope and language rather than to modify the application of the rule to particular transactions. Important clarifications made by the rule change include the following:
- NASDAQ will adjudicate erroneous transaction complaints only if they concern transactions executed through NASDAQ systems and only if the parties to the transactions are readily identifiable.
- On its own motion, NASDAQ may nullify or modify any transaction that is executed or reported through a NASDAQ system, if NASDAQ determines that action is necessary for the maintenance of a fair and orderly market or the protection of investors and the public interest.
Questions regarding this Notice may be directed to Richard Bush, Director, NASDAQ Market Operations, at (203) 385-6242; or John Yetter, Assistant General Counsel, Office of General Counsel, The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc., at (202) 912-3039.

Gazette Midday: Poll suggests Lib majority; voteless students sue DGE
Hello and welcome to montrealgazette.com and welcome to Midday. Here's the rundown on some of the stories we're following for you today.
A new poll issued by Forum Research Inc. shows the Parti Québécois continuing to slide in popularity a week before the April 7 provincial election. Based on these figures, a slim Liberal majority is seen within reach. A random sampling of 854 Quebec voters shows that more than 41 per cent intend to vote for the Quebec Liberal Party compared to 29 per cent who will vote for the PQ. If these percentages are projected on the 125 seats in the National Assembly, the Liberals would capture a two-seat majority with 65 seats and the PQ would win 51. The poll has good news for the Coalition Avenir Québec. Of those polled, 19 per cent said they would vote for the CAQ, and CAQ leader François Legault has the highest approval rating among party leaders – at 54 per cent, more than half of Quebecers approve of him.
Four McGill students who have been denied a vote on April 7 are taking Quebec's director of elections to court. Human rights lawyer Julius Grey confirmed he will file an injunction in Quebec Superior Court Tuesday morning, with a hearing to be held Wednesday or Thursday. The injunction will seek to get all four students onto the voters' list. Grey was not available for an interview Monday. The matter is pressing, as Thursday is the last day of the special revision period, in which changes can be made to the voters' list. When they went to their respective revision offices, all four students in the suit were told by returning officers they failed to meet the requirement of being domiciled in the province for at least six months.
Even if the Parti Québécois dropped plans for another sovereignty referendum in the future, nobody would believe it, the cabinet minister responsible for Montreal and the anglophone community says. And Jean-François Lisée pledged nobody will be fired in the public sector for refusing to put aside their religious attire because, re-elected, a PQ government would move slowly on applying the proposed charter of values and phase in the measures. In a sweeping interview with The Gazette's editorial board Monday, Lisée was asked why the PQ does not drop the possibility of another referendum, given its newly expressed doubts about holding one. "If we were to say that, it would be disingenuous because we really feel that Quebec should be independent," Lisée said. "However pessimistic we are about its prospects, we wish this to happen someday. If we were to say that, you would not believe us. "So we're true to ourselves saying this is what we want."
And finally, some Montreal boroughs are delaying applying parking restrictions that normally take effect each year on April 1. The buildup of snow because of last weekend's spring storm means the parking restrictions will start on April 7 in the following boroughs: Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Lachine, Outremont, Sud-Ouest and Rivière des Prairies—Pointe-aux-Trembles, Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, St-Léonard, Ville-Marie and Villeray—St-Michel—Parc-Extension. The Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and Plateau Mont-Royal boroughs will begin applying their parking restrictions on April 4.
