MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) Vaccine - What You Need to Know
All content below is taken in its entirety from the CDC MMR (Measles, Mumps, & Rubella) Vaccine Information Statement (VIS): cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/vis-statements/mmr.html
CDC review information for MMR VIS:
Page last reviewed: August 15, 2019
Issue date of VIS: August 15, 2019
Why get vaccinated?
MMR vaccine can prevent measles, mumps, and rubella.
MEASLES (M) can cause fever, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes, commonly followed by a rash that covers the whole body. It can lead to seizures (often associated with fever), ear infections, diarrhea, and pneumonia. Rarely, measles can cause brain damage or death.
MUMPS (M) can cause fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness, loss of appetite, and swollen and tender salivary glands under the ears on one or both sides. It can lead to deafness, swelling of the brain and/or spinal cord covering, painful swelling of the testicles or ovaries, and, very rarely, death.
RUBELLA (R) can cause fever, sore throat, rash, headache, and eye irritation. It can cause arthritis in up to half of teenage and adult women. If a woman gets rubella while she is pregnant, she could have a miscarriage or her baby could be born with serious birth defects.
Most people who are vaccinated with MMR will be protected for life. Vaccines and high rates of vaccination have made these diseases much less common in the United States.
Children need 2 doses of MMR vaccine, usually:
First dose at 12 through 15 months of age
Second dose at 4 through 6 years of age
Infants who will be traveling outside the United States when they are between 6 and 11 months of age should get a dose of MMR vaccine before travel. The child should still get 2 doses at the recommended ages for long-lasting protection.
Older children, adolescents, and adults also need 1 or 2 doses of MMR vaccine if they are not already immune to measles, mumps, and rubella. Your health care provider can help you determine how many doses you need.
A third dose of MMR might be recommended in certain mumps outbreak situations.
MMR vaccine may be given at the same time as other vaccines. Children 12 months through 12 years of age might receive MMR vaccine together with varicella vaccine in a single shot, known as MMRV. Your health care provider can give you more information.
Talk with your health care provider
Tell your vaccine provider if the person getting the vaccine:
Has had an allergic reaction after a previous dose of MMR or MMRV vaccine, or has any severe, life-threatening allergies.
Is pregnant, or thinks she might be pregnant.
Has a weakened immune system, or has a parent, brother, or sister with a history of hereditary or congenital immune system problems.
Has ever had a condition that makes him or her bruise or bleed easily.
Has recently had a blood transfusion or received other blood products.
Has tuberculosis.
Has gotten any other vaccines in the past 4 weeks.
In some cases, your health care provider may decide to postpone MMR vaccination to a future visit.
People with minor illnesses, such as a cold, may be vaccinated. People who are moderately or severely ill should usually wait until they recover before getting MMR vaccine.
Your health care provider can give you more information.
Risks of a vaccine reaction
Soreness, redness, or rash where the shot is given and rash all over the body can happen after MMR vaccine.
Fever or swelling of the glands in the cheeks or neck sometimes occur after MMR vaccine.
More serious reactions happen rarely. These can include seizures (often associated with fever), temporary pain and stiffness in the joints (mostly in teenage or adult women), pneumonia, swelling of the brain and/or spinal cord covering, or temporary low platelet count which can cause unusual bleeding or bruising.
In people with serious immune system problems, this vaccine may cause an infection which may be life-threatening. People with serious immune system problems should not get MMR vaccine.
People sometimes faint after medical procedures, including vaccination. Tell your provider if you feel dizzy or have vision changes or ringing in the ears.
As with any medicine, there is a very remote chance of a vaccine causing a severe allergic reaction, other serious injury, or death.
What if there is a serious problem?
An allergic reaction could occur after the vaccinated person leaves the clinic. If you see signs of a severe allergic reaction (hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, or weakness), call 9-1-1 and get the person to the nearest hospital.
For other signs that concern you, call your health care provider.
Adverse reactions should be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Your health care provider will usually file this report, or you can do it yourself. Visit the VAERS website at vaers.hhs.gov or call 1-800-822-7967. VAERS is only for reporting reactions, and VAERS staff do not give medical advice.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a federal program that was created to compensate people who may have been injured by certain vaccines. Visit the VICP at www.hrsa.gov/vaccine-compensation/index.html or call 1-800-338-2382 to learn about the program and about filing a claim. There is a time limit to file a claim for compensation.
How can I learn more?
Ask your health care provider.
Contact your local or state health department.
Contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by calling 1-800-232-4636 (1-800-CDC-INFO) or by visiting CDC's vaccines website.

Holistic Health is a unique complementary health care system using a fabulous arrange of complementary techniques and treatments. The word holistic refers to the whole person and signifies the intricate connection between body, mind and spirit. Naturopathy medicine employs the use of 'nature' as therapeutic modalities to promote and encourage your body's innate ability to heal itself. The goal is to bring your mind, body and spirit back into harmony and not just the absence of disease, but to renewed vitality that may have long sense been forgotten.
Holistic and Naturopathic approaches work with your body's innate ability to heal itself. Holistic and natural medicine if fully capable of treating all the stages of illness successfully (from acute to chronic stages) all the while preventing future complaints and body imbalances. Holistic medicine and therapies do not focus solely on managing symptoms as traditional medicine does.
It should come as no surprise that modern day living has disconnected us from nature by way of the food we eat, lack of outdoor stimulus and perhaps above all else, the different stressors people are being faced with today. Stress is key in promoting disease and inflammation throughout the body. It upsets the very fragment of our lives and the problem is people are largely unaware of its actual impact on their health. Modern day medicine would recommend a pill to mask its symptoms by deadening our sensory perceptions. This treatment format is functioning and tissue alternating – to the point of permanent damage.
Today, industrialized populations are dealing with many causative factors and in recognizing that we are a self healing organism, I have seen it proved over and over again, the body's enormous capacity to heal itself when properly supported.
Holistic medicine involves a lengthy discussion of all symptom complaints, current diet, emotional status, body functioning over all and future goals and aspirations of health and lifestyle.
Michelle Honda PhD is a Holistic Doctor (natural health doctor, not an MD & not an ND). Academically Michelle has completed with honours her doctorate in Holistic Health Sciences (Ph.D. D.Sc.), all combined 10 fulltime years of completed academic curriculum – based health sciences – to encompass clinical nutrition, botanicals, homeopathy, phyto-chemistry, bio-chemistry, herbal medicine, biology, anatomy, kinesiology and much more. Our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page is very helpful in considering working with Michelle.

And for those not local to the clinic, Michelle conducts long distance telephone appointments. Largely due to the tremendous success she has with her Crohn's and colitis patients, it is not unusual to find Michelle sharing her knowledge and wisdom with folks all across the U.S. and Canada.

Empty-handed, but heart-filled!
Posted on October 21, 2008 by Andrew Gray
Finding the Rarest Frog in the World
Well, now I am back from that fabulous trip to Costa Rica I am hoping that people realised it was never really about finding an elusive Golden Toad. But instead, I think I found something much more valuable to me personally. As I lay in my bunk on the last night before heading out of Monteverde Cloud Forest, after us triumphantly finding a trio of rare Isthmohyla rivularis specimens, including the gravid female, I wasn't sleeping quite as soundly as you might think. I had dreamt of finding a pair of these frogs for so long, and here I was with the perfect opportunity to initiate a captive breeding programme for the species. But when I woke, in my heart, I knew I would rather leave them in the wild where they belonged than ever see them in captivity. I love animals, and have a passion for amphibians that has been with me from as early as I can remember. I have long believed that captive breeding was a way to save these wonderful creatures from extinction, but this year, that night, something inside me changed. I now believe that the only place for wild animals is in the wild. So I came back empty handed. Just to know that those beautiful, very special frogs will probably be calling tonight, in Monteverde, and that the female may have spawned in that crystal clear stream, fills me with more happiness than you might ever realise.
emply-handed, but my smile says it all!

BBC RELATED FOOTAGE HERE
The other thing to come out of the amazing trip for me has been the realisation that there are many more committed individuals in Costa Rica who are passionate about the conservation of these and other rare frogs than I had thought. All the people I had the pleasure of sharing this trip with were particularly exceptional in that respect, Mark, Alex, all the guards that joined us, and colleagues at both the Monteverde Rainforest League and the Tropical Science Centre. The early part of the trip, which was spent filming frogs at The Costa Rican Amphibian Research Centre with my friend Brian Kubicki, was also very special. Brian was carefully raising some Anotheca spinosa, a rare tree hole dwelling species, from tadpoles to small froglets, in-situ. This ensures that most survive rather than perish, and that the young get the head start they need for a life in the wild. Brian's attitude, knowledge, experience, and real hard work never fails to impress me – he is a true inspiration. I cannot speak highly enough of this guy and the commitment and effort he continues to put into real amphibian conservation.

Q: Alternatives to array_agg()? Is there any alternative to the PostgreSQL array_agg() function so that it doesn't return values in the format: '{x,y,z,}'.
Can I have it return just: 'x,y,z' ?

A: If you are not on 9.0 yet (which has the already mentioned string_agg() function) you can use array_to_string() on the result of array_agg()

A: Use the STRING_AGG function:
SELECT
  STRING_AGG(name, ',')
FROM
  person;

A: In PostgreSQL 9.0 or later use string_agg(val, ',').
It returns a string with delimiters of your choosing.
array_agg(val) returns an array, no surprise there. The curly braces you see are integral part of array literals - the text representation of arrays.
In older versions (or any version really) you can substitute with array_to_string(array_agg(val), ',').
Or, quick'n'dirty: trim(array_agg(val)::text, '{}' - if values never start or end with curly braces.

December 2015 Vol 2

Healthy Aging Survey and Community Meeting
More than 80 people attended our third annual community meeting at the MV Hebrew Center on Monday, December 7th. They came to hear Susan Lanspery of the Heller School at Brandeis University report findings from the HAMV 50-question survey, which had been mailed to over 4,760 Island seniors. Astonishingly, the final response rate from all over the Island was 49% response rate - an unheard of figure in the world of surveys. Such a response rate is reflective of how devoted Vineyard residents are to this Island, and of the community's commitment to finding solutions and new models to meet the needs of our rapidly aging Island population.
The survey provided insights into the hopes, lives, struggles and concerns of different aspects of our Vineyard society: 85+, low-income, living alone, and limited mobility, to name a few. Questions covered healthcare, housing, transportation, health & wellness, employment, community engagement, use of elder care services, Town infrastructure, physical access, finances and resources. The questions were not unusual, but the responses - taken as a whole - show a snapshot of what our elders see as their biggest needs and desires.
Overall, the vast majority of Vineyard seniors see their health as good to excellent, want to continue to live on the Island, and want to live independently on Island as they age. However, a significant number of respondents fall into what HAMV identifies as the most vulnerable - living alone, being over 85 (when chronic problems of aging particularly take their toll), having very low incomes, and experiencing limited mobility. When these factors are considered together, they are likely to define future priorities.
However, at this point, Brandeis is digging down beyond their initial analysis to further analyze the survey responses, and HAMV looks forward to their final report sometime in early January. At that point, the HAMV Oversight Committee will review the report and develop priorities for 2016 and future years.

Where would HAMV be without our strong volunteer base?
HAMV is now a coalition of over 75 volunteers, representing 37 non-profit and municipal organizations from all six towns, who are working to make the Vineyard an Aging-Friendly Community. Major activities have been undertaken through our working groups or special project ad hoc committees.
During the past year, this network of volunteers initiated programs to reduce the rate of falls among island seniors (Matter of Balance), hosted a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) workshop to train professionals in the multiple aspects concerning home modifications for an aging population, improved self-care among the Island's many caregivers (Powerful Tools for Caregivers), and designed and developed an Island-wide information and resource web-site with Town support for its staffing (FirstStop).
They have raised funds to strengthen the four Island Councils on Aging through improved outreach and record-keeping hardware and software (MySeniorCenter), initiated an island-wide collaborative planning process through our Results Based Accountability (RBA) process, and began a feasibility study to explore the possibility of initiating alternative models for assisted living and/or nursing homes (Green House Model) on the Island.
We are grateful to each and every person who has worked with us on any of these initiatives and look forward to continuing with you in the future.
Single Service Point for Island Seniors is Launched!
Congratulations to Healthy Aging's FirstStop Working Group - co-chairs Bea Phear and Rise Terney, committee members Jacque Cage, Dianne Durawa, Julie Fay, Armen Hanjian, Tristan Israel, Diane Jetmund, Patsy McCornack, Peter Meleney, Paul Mohair, Paddy Moore, and Joyce Stiles-Tucker! Our gratitude to the Town Meeting members for approving funds to support this information and resource service during FY 2016.
On Monday, December 7th, the product of two years of their research and development opened online - FirstStop.org, a website and staffed-phone service designed to be a single entry point for Island seniors, their on-and off-Island family, caregivers, and service providers to the many diverse resources available - local, state, and national.
For several years, the annual Rural Scholars' reports strongly recommended that the island needed a comprehensive, centralized, single-source information, resource and referral program. One that was based on a website, but also supplemented with helpful staff to answer questions and assist in navigation. Following the Rural Scholars' presentation to the Healthy Aging Task Force (HATF) in November 2013, the HATF formed an information and resource working group to bring those recommendations into reality.
The newly formed working group met a number of times to establish policies for the program, deciding what should be included, what to exclude, and how the information should be presented. They worked closely with Deborah Mayhew on website usability and accessibility and contracted with Forsythe Design, working with graphic designer Kathleen Forsythe and web developer Heather Goff to build the website. They researched many information and resource programs across the country. They also worked closely with dozens of Island providers/agencies and individuals to collect detailed information about services, and then with the new program manager, Karin Kugel, worked to refine service descriptions to make them as user friendly as possible.
Thanks to the FirstStop working group and all its partners, FirstStopMV.org is now online with over 200 providers and resources and still growing. A special thank you to Kathleen Forsythe and Heather Goff for making our website a reality, and to Deborah Mayhew for contributing to our understanding of web design and accessibility issues. As Healthy Aging MV (HAMV) Executive Coordinator Tom Hallahan mentioned during his presentation of FirstStop at the HAMV Community Meeting, the website will be a "living document" to be continuously refined, developed, and strengthened.
The new program will be announced across the Island beginning in January, and marketing outreach will continue throughout the winter and spring, as we learn from our users, and as new services and resources are added at the local, state, and national levels. Visit the FirstStop Website.
A Well Deserved Tribute for Jacque Cage!
HAMV was honored to take the opportunity at our third annual meeting to acknowledge Jacque Cage and her many contributions to us and the island as a whole.
Born in Queens and growing up on Long Island, Jacque Cage knew early on she wanted to help people. She earned a degree in social welfare from Arizona State and eventually made her way to the Island in 1974, with husband and family in tow. By 1977 she was hired as the coordinator for the Tisbury Council on Aging, serving in this position until 1979 when she was named Director of Elder Services of Cape Cod and the Islands; 36 years later - a position she continues to grace today, bringing Meals-on-Wheels, Fragile Elders programs and other needed services to Island seniors.
During this time, Jacque has been a steady presence in our community, helping to develop programs and services to meet the needs of Islanders as we age. These include Hospice, Vineyard Transit Authority, and the four Island Councils on Aging. She currently serves on the Board of the Dukes County Health Council and HAMV's Oversight Committee. Jacque has worked with the Island's nursing agencies, MV Hospital, and Windemere. She has participated along with many of us in the healthy aging initiative, having volunteered, as she always does, from the very beginning. Above all, if someone asks Jacque for her help or advice, or to attend a meeting, she is always willing. In her own words: "How does it work and how can we make it work better?"

Thank You to Our Many Supporters and Partners
HAMV is so grateful for our partners for the work that they did for Island elders over the past year. Their initiatives include the Memory Café, the Dementia Support Group, the MV Center for Living's collaboration with Dukes County to expand their Supportive Day Program, and the four Island Councils on Aging adoption of the MySeniorCenter approach.
HAMV is also grateful for our partners' collaboration in Powerful Tools for Caregivers, Matter of Balance, FirstStop, Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist, Senior Advocates, and much more.

For the second in our "Hip-Hop History: The Producers" mix series we present Organized Noize. Best known for producing almost all the beats on the first Outkast and Goodie Mob records, the trio of Rico Wade, Ray Murray and Sleepy Brown also crafted huge commercial hits for TLC, En Vogue, and Ludacris. Their catalog of underground classics for the entire Dungeon Family runs deep. We give you all of that, plus lesser-known songs by Joi, Brandy, Mista. This mix could have easily been twice as long!
Enjoy, and let us know at Facebook.com/itstherub and Twitter.com/itstherub who we should feature next.
We're launching a new series of Hip-Hop History mixes, highlighting producers. We're starting with Mike Will Made It, a multiplatinum beatmaker who has crafted hit records over the last 6 years for Future, Ciara, Rae Sremmurd, 2 Chainz, Juicy J, Drake, Rihanna, Beyonce – pretty much all the major hip-hop and R&B artists on the radio in this decade. Mike Will has an impressive range of records in his discography, and he's known for his signature deep 808s bubbling at a slow tempo.
Whose catalog should we dig into for the the next Hip-Hop History: The Producers mix? Let us know at Facebook.com/itstherub and Twitter.com/itstherub.
#TBT this week is another classic year in our History of Hip-Hop mix series. 1995 had so many rappers, crews and overall scenes sprouting in massively creative directions. Wu-Tang solo material was flowing heavy with GZA making serious noise, with Method Man, O.D.B and Raekwon right behind him. 2Pac and Biggie both we're become dominant voices that everyone was paying attention to and Biggie's Junior Mafia crew released one of the most quotable tracks of the entire decade in "Get Money". Luniz, LL Cool J and Pharcyde released bonafide forever hits. TRU, Three 6 Mafia and Outkast made sure the South's voicing was becoming very loud. And that's really just scratching the surface.
You can revisit this mix today or come hear a bunch of 90's classics (and more) from us at Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg TONIGHT. Hope to see you there!
TBT this week takes back to our Hip-Hop History Mix from 1993. This mix reminisces the genre as it starts to truly become a pop culture phenomenom in the 90s. Hip-hop was truly a melting pot of styles in '93 with jazzy samples of the Native Tongues movement and started to drift into the gangster sounds of the budding East Coast/West Coast beef that ended up dominating the era. There's plenty of Hiero, Tupac, Snoop, Wu-Tang, Tribe, club classics, forgotten singles and the start of the indie era with Rawkus. Press play and take in this true blast from the past.
TBT this week takes us back to 2008 with our History of Hip-Hop mix. This interesting year of rap was peppered with a number of interesting tracks and trends. "Royal Flush" noted the beginning of the end of Outkast as a group project, even though the tune itself was so tough. Rick Ross really started to spread his wings as a super star with "The Boss", which also featured T-Pain who was in the midst of a multi-year flex. Lil Wayne was securing his place as the "best rapper alive" with "A Milli", arguably his most important tune ever. Acts like Pitbull, John Legend Common, Flo Rida and Snoop Dogg all started experimenting with dance-y tunes and faster tempos. Yes hip-hop was alive and well in 2008. Revisit this mix with the stream above and the free download below.

Table Rock Lake Water Quality Inc., now a part of Ozarks Water Watch, coordinated the replacement of the old, worn-out parking lot at the Kimberling Shopping Center, on Hwy 13 in Kimberling City, MO, with new Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavers (PICP) in 2014. TRLWQ's then director, Gopala Borchelt, organized the project which was funded through a grant from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and by the owners of the Kimberling Center.
With the location being very close to Table Rock Lake and the parking lot used by and seen by most local people and thousands of visitors to the Lake, we wanted to show how an upgrade to new pavers could capture and filter stormwater while also providing a beautiful and functional parking area. The PICP allows stormwater to soak through the seams between the pavers and down through the underlying sand, gravel and soil. This removes traffic-borne contaminants such as oil, grease, metals, sediments, minerals (salts, detergents) nitrates and other debris from the water before it eventually filters into Table Rock Lake. For more information, see our project summary.
Table Rock Lake Stormwater Planning and Demonstration Project
The purpose of this project was to bring funding and demonstration projects to the Table Rock Lake area community for stormwater runoff management solutions.
These solutions slow down rainwater runoff from developed areas and remove pollution, particularly nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), before it enters the lake. With increasing population and expanding developments around Table Rock Lake, the alterations to the natural landscape allow more rapid rainwater runoff from impervious surface causing soil erosion and washing, oil, antifreeze, detergents, pesticides, pet wastes and many other pollutants containing nutrients, heavy metals and other toxins into streams or Table Rock Lake. The geology of the Table Rock Lake area, which has very shallow, rocky and clay soil, also increases its risk of both surface and ground water contamination.
This project succeeded in highlighting several different types of stormwater solutions including vegetated swales, bioretention basins, terracing with stone and native plants and the main demonstration site at the Kimberling Center showing pervious interlocking concrete pavers (PICP) as a beautiful solution to old infrastructure. Overall, this project's success and accomplishes in stormwater management for water quality protection have been made possible through the cooperation of many local and regional partnerships. This project also owes its achievement to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Water Protection Project Managers and other dedicated staff who were able to provide the flexibility needed complete this project.

National Fish Habitat Partnership
Table Rock Lake Water Quality Inc. has been working with the Missouri Department of Coservation on their National Fish Habitat Initiative project (National Fish and Wildlife Foundation) to continue the very popular and benefitial septic tank pump-out and eduation program.
This program offers participats a visit with a wastwater systems maintance expert and a $50 rebate for getting their septic tank pumped out, a needed regular maintenance item. So far, since 2007 when we began working with the MDC, we have been able to reach over 2,000 people through our own staff and with the James River Basin partnership.
This program has also allowed us to leverage funds from the Missouri Department of Natural Resuorces for septic replacements. Through this program and in partnership with Ozarks Water Watch, we have been able to assist with replacement costs for over 70 homeowners who had failing setic tanks.
In addition to replacing failing septic systems and education and cost-share for maintance of onsite systems, our partnership with MDC has poteniallty prevented nearly 550 pounds of nitrogen (amonia) and 120 pounds of phosphorus per year from entering the tributaireis and Table Rock Lake. This amount of nutrient has the potential to provide for the growth of 12,000 pounds of blue-green algae (cyanobateria) per year. In excessive concentration, blue-green algae biomass can cause anoxic conditions deterimental to fish species especially in isolated coves and reaches.
The support that this project has brought has also helped secure additional funding for the replacement of many more failing septic systems including the formation of an on-site wastewater treatment systems revolving loan program for the Upper White River watershed. This loan program is administered by the Ozarks Water Watch organization.

Demonstration of Onsite Wastewater Systems
TABLE ROCK LAKE WATER QUALITY DECENTRALIZED WASTEWATER DEMONSTRATION PROJECT
The Table Rock Lake National Demonstration Project tested different types of advanced technology for Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS). The geology and soils conditions around Table Rock Lake present challenges to the proper treatment of wastewater using conventional septic tanks. This project planned to find solutions to the many failing and inadequate OWTS (septic tanks) in the Table Rock Lake area. Three main goals were:
1. Install and test different types of advanced wastewater treatment technologies to evaluate their effectiveness in the unique geological setting around Table Rock Lake. A number of excellent decentralized treatment technologies including advanced OWTS (or systems with pre-treatment components before dispersal into the soil) had been field-tested elsewhere and were commercially available. The focus of the Demonstration Project was to compare technology and test performance in treating wastewater and phosphorus removal using the BioMicrobics, FAST and RetroFAST, Premier Tech Ecoflo and ZABEL SCAT wastewater treatment systems in the Table Rock Lake area and match the treatment units to a lateral dispersal field suitable for the existing soils.
2. Development of a management program following the EPA's recommended management models for OWTS. With advanced OWTS regular maintenance is needed to ensure proper functioning. Advanced OWTS had received a bad reputation nationwide due to failures from lack of maintenance by system owners. A responsible maintenance entity (RME) was needed to remove maintenance responsibilities from developers or homeowners.
3. Identify legal impediments to widespread adoption of advanced OWTS by changing the regulatory and the wastewater industry's perceptions of these systems and gaining their acceptance in Missouri.
Detection of Septic Effluent in Lake Coves
EVALUATION OF MOVMENT OF SEPTIC SYSTEM EFFLUENT FROM LAKESIDE DEVELOPMENT INTO NEAR-SHORE AREAS OF TABLE ROCK LAKE (2001)
The goals of this study were to assess the presence of septic system and treatment plant effluents (leakage) within the near-shore areas of Table Rock Lake. Additionally, this study was to evaluate the potential impacts of these pollution sources on water quality. Our work focused on Aunts Creek coves and Indian Point area coves on Table Rock Lake. These locations are relatively more populated and developed. Aunts Creek area utilizes primarily septic systems for wastewater management, whereas the Indian Point area is served by centralized wastewater treatment systems and septic systems.
The plan for this work was prepared based on a similar study conducted in Indiana on relatively small reservoirs which involved detecting the presence of septic system effluent at near-shore locations. This project used a continuous flow fluorimeter (uses light to detect substances) equipped to detect fluorescence within a wavelength range typical of optical brighteners used in laundry detergents. Since these are typically associated with domestic wastewater, optical brighteners may be used as tracer compounds of domestic wastewater. Therefore, peaks in fluorescence found near-shore likely indicate plumes of septic system effluent.

Bush aides are raising a firewall
By Doyle McManus
March 18, 2007 12 AM PT
Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON —
As more Republicans called last week on Alberto R. Gonzales to resign, President Bush's aides began to look beyond the attorney general and focus on preventing the controversy over the firing of federal prosecutors from spreading -- and endangering Karl Rove, the president's top political advisor.
"This is not going to go away," warned Joseph E. DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney in the Reagan administration. "I'm sure the president is going to let it go as long as he can ... but there's only so much bleeding he can take."
The fracas over the fired prosecutors reflects a larger underlying problem for Bush: His political standing as president, already battered by the war in Iraq and domestic missteps like the handling of Hurricane Katrina, has only continued to erode since his party lost control of Congress in November.
Initially, the dispute centered on the Justice Department, Gonzales and his top aides. But documents released last week suggested that Rove and former White House Counsel Harriet E. Miers were also involved in the decision to fire eight U.S. attorneys after the 2004 election. That brought the issue to the threshold of the Oval Office and prompted reporters to ask whether Bush had been involved.
"I want you to be clear here: Don't go dropping it at the president's door," White House spokesman Tony Snow said Friday when asked about Bush's involvement.
Although U.S. attorneys are presidential appointees who can be removed at the president's discretion, the firings have flared into a potentially damaging issue for the administration because of indications that they may have resulted from political pressure.
Gonzales and his aides initially told Congress that the prosecutors were fired because their performance was unsatisfactory. But documents released last week showed that officials also discussed whether the U.S. attorneys had been "loyal Bushies," in the words of one Justice Department e-mail.
Democrats, with their new majorities in the House and Senate, quickly jumped on the issue.
Bush's diminished popularity, combined with his administration's disdain for Congress' view of legislative prerogatives, have given the president a slimmer margin for error -- even with members of his own party.
"You've got Republicans in Congress who have run out their string with him," said Norman J. Ornstein, a congressional scholar at the largely conservative American Enterprise Institute.
The shift to Democratic control has accelerated the controversy.
"Elections matter," Ornstein said. "If the Republicans were still in charge of Congress, even by one vote, the reaction to this would have been that it was just a personnel matter. The administration might still have had a problem, but it would have taken a lot longer to develop."
Several leading Republicans said they expected Gonzales to resign in the next few weeks.
They asked to speak on condition of anonymity because their comments conflicted with Bush's public position that his attorney general does not need to leave.
Two Republican senators, John E. Sununu of New Hampshire and Gordon H. Smith of Oregon, and one Republican congressman, Dana Rohrabacher of Huntington Beach, have publicly called on Gonzales to resign.
Others have said privately that the attorney general should leave.
And no leading Republican in Congress has stepped forward to defend Gonzales -- a sign that any political support he once enjoyed has virtually disappeared.
Democrats in the Senate and House have said they want Miers and Rove, President Bush's chief political strategist, to testify about their roles in the decision to fire the prosecutors. Rove, Miers and Gonzales have been among the president's closest aides for more than a decade; all worked for him when he was governor of Texas in the 1990s.
Early reports had indicated that the idea of the firings originated with Miers, but on Friday, Snow said that may not be the case. "At this juncture, people have hazy memories," he said.
Snow said the White House has not decided whether Rove or Miers should testify or whether to release internal documents to Congress, which has the power to subpoena witnesses -- Justice Department officials and others.
But the president can assert a counterclaim of executive privilege to shield internal deliberations at the White House.
White House Counsel Fred F. Fielding spent much of last week on Capitol Hill trying to determine what Congress would insist on, officials said, but he gave no indication of what the administration was prepared to give.
"This is one more chapter in the defense of Karl Rove," said one leading GOP figure who insisted on anonymity because he was speaking ill of the president's most powerful aide. "This isn't accountability, it's damage control, and it's protection for Karl."
But other Republicans defended Rove.
"There's no suggestion of illegality in anything he has done," DiGenova said. "He wasn't the one making inaccurate representations on Capitol Hill. I would think that would trump any demand [from Congress] for testimony."
Rove, speaking at a university last week, dismissed the controversy as groundless. "We're at a point where people want to play politics with it," he said.
Some Republicans in Congress have been gauging the electoral cross-currents along with the Democrats.
The two Republican senators who have called on Gonzales to resign face reelection campaigns next year.
Another senator who faces reelection, John Cornyn of Texas, normally one of the White House's most reliable allies, has said he was disappointed in the attorney general.
"The appearances are troubling," Cornyn told reporters last week. "But in Texas we believe in having a fair trial, and then we have the hanging," he added.
Gonzales compounded his own vulnerability by being high-handed with Congress, Ornstein noted.
"He has treated Congress with the back of his hand," he said. "He stonewalled everything, even when he had Republican chairmen. He built no reservoir of support."
As a result, he said, "we're seeing what I call the battered Congress syndrome. After years of being slapped around by the White House, at some point there's a counter-reaction."
Finally, the Justice Department and White House made matters worse by repeatedly issuing inconsistent and incomplete accounts of how the U.S. attorneys had been fired.
"The incompetence has been amazing," DiGenova charged. "Managing crises, beginning with preventing crises, is what life in Washington is about.... But these guys didn't have a plan ready to answer questions once the problem became public. They still don't have their stories straight.
"There are too many Stepford husbands in this administration: young men who are perfectly coiffed and have great clothes, but very few of them have ever been in a courtroom," he added.
Charles O. Jones, a presidential scholar at the University of Wisconsin, said the controversy had weakened a presidency that was already fragile.
"By the normal measures of electoral support and popular support, Bush had the lowest political standing of any president on record when he was reelected in 2004," Jones said.
"He argued that his reelection alone gave him political capital, but it was damned slim," Jones said. "And since then, there has been a decline in his position -- a steady decline. There's not a whole lot of political capital left for him to draw on."
The fragility of Bush's mandate, Jones said, stems partly from his governing style: an "executive approach" that rests on unilateral action instead of a "legislative approach" that relies on patient negotiation with Congress.
"That approach can produce positive results ... and you can argue that it did after Sept. 11," Jones said.
But "it means you'd better get it right, because if you screw up, you're going to lose your supporters too.
"It's Bush's governing style, and no one can expect that someone like Bush can simply switch styles," he added.

After creating a reseller and setting up merchant fees with buy rate you can set up reseller commissions. In most cases, the terms of an agreement with the reseller regarding the fees paid by the merchants and commissions charged to the reseller are the same for all merchants associated with the reseller. For this reason, commissions are configured within the gateway at the reseller level. As a result, the configured commissions are applied to all merchants under the reseller. In some cases, the terms of cooperation may vary depending on a merchant group. In this particular case, the commissions can be configured at the merchant level, for each merchant individually.
2.8% plus 10 cents for all card brands, except American Express.
1.5% plus 5 cents for direct debit.
2.5% plus 5 cents for all card brands, except American Express.
1.2% plus 2 cents for direct debit.
Thus, the residual for Visa, MasterCard and Discover is 30 basis points plus 5 cents. For direct debit, residual is 30 basis points plus 3 cents.
In this tutorial we will learn how to share 70% of the residual with a reseller for the period of 6 months.
Let's learn how to configure reseller commissions for all merchant associated with the reseller.
Select appropriate Reseller or Reseller Account in the top left section of the screen.
Log in to the system using your Username and Password and switch to the Reseller Perspective.
Choose Commissions menu item from the list.
Click Typebutton and choose the remittance model that the merchants work under.
Locate Policy tab to set up general commission settings.
If the same policy is applied to all fee types, proceed with the following steps.
Locate Basis dropdown and choose Residual from the list.
If different policy is applied to different fee types, proceed with the following steps.
Locate Realtime tab to set up commissions for realtime transactions.
Locate >> button next to Visa (Sale) section and click on it to copy the data you entered to Visa (Credit) section.
Repeat the same process for all card brands, except American Express.
Locate >> button next to direct debit (Sale) section and click on it to copy the data you entered to direct debit (Credit) section.
Locate Batch tab to set up commissions for batch transactions.
Follow the same process that you have used in the Realtime tab.
Now that we have learned how to configure reseller commissions at the reseller's level, we will learn how to configure commissions at the merchant level.
Locate Resellers button and click on it to start reseller commissions setup.
Select a reseller in the list of resellers and click on modify option in a popup menu to open commission setup form.
The following steps are similar to the steps from 8 to 35 specified above within this tutorial.
You have learned how to set up commissions for a reseller. While in this tutorial we have only set up revenue sharing for processing fees, any revenue, that is charged, can be shared with one or more resellers.
