A mathematics major with a higher than average IQ estimated at 130, and seemingly normal in every other way, was referred to a brain specialist because his head seemed a bit larger than normal. The brain specialist was amazed to find that the student had an extreme case of hydrocephalitis, also known as "water on the brain." His brain cavity was mostly filled with fluid, not neurons. The cortex, the main thinking part of his brain, was merely a coating one twenty-fifth of an inch thick on the inside of his skull! In one large city a telephone operator traced the source of an emergency phone call because the caller would not speak. The phone only emitted unusual noises. When the ambulance crew arrived at the scene, they found a basset hound who had dialed 911 in the process of chewing up the phone. Americans drink three million gallons of orange juice per day. We drink over fifteen million gallons of beer daily. This means that on average, Americans drink five times more beer than orange juice. Very important for those in Los Angeles: If you herd more than 2,000 sheep along Hollywood Blvd, you're breaking the law. And, while you're at it, don't drive your car along Hollywood Blvd. more than twice in four hours. That, too, is illegal. In 1976, doctors in Los Angeles went on strike because of the rising cost of malpractice insurance. All elective and non-emergency surgery and medical attention were canceled. During that time, 18 percent fewer people died than usual. In Mexico we have a word for sushi: bait....Jose Simons Correction--The record for the biggest pumpkin ever grown was 1810.5 lbs.

Harvest season is in full swing and farmers in every corner of the state are out using the highways, said Sue Groth, state traffic engineer. Motorists need to be prepared to encounter slow-moving farm vehicles, especially on rural, two-lane roads. Farm equipment is large and heavy, making it hard for operators to accelerate, slow down and stop. The machines also make wide turns and sometimes cross over the center line. In addition, farm vehicles can create large blind spots, making it difficult for operators to see approaching vehicles. All of these factors can cause serious crashes. During 2008-2010, there were 433 traffic crashes on Minnesota roads involving at least one farm vehicle, resulting in 15 fatalities and 218 injuries. Of the 15 fatalities, five were farm vehicle riders; of the 218 injuries, 65 were farm vehicle riders, according to the Department of Public Safety. The leading contributing crash factors in farm equipment/vehicle crashes are inattention, speeding and unsafe passing, Groth said. When approaching farm equipment, motorists should slow down and use extreme caution. MOTORISTS ARE ALSO URGED TO: Watch for debris dropped by trucks hauling sugar beets and other crops and remember, it is safer to brake or drive through debris than to veer into oncoming cars or off the road. Wait for a safe place to pass. Wear safety belts. Drive with headlights on at all times.

MnDOT asks motorists, farm equipment operators to safely share the road during harvest season
Motorists traveling on Minnesota highways this fall need to be aware of large farm equipment transporting crops to markets, grain elevators and processing plants, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. This message comes following two recent crashes, including one fatal crash, involving farm equipment.

term effects from it. This is something that rarely happens, so I would say its safe to follow Trevors conviction. Zane, at eight years old, feels anytime anybody is going fishing, he should go along. He doesnt have the patience for long spells of inactivity but a person can never tell when the fish might be biting. Trevor, Zane, and I set out two bank poles for catfish, grabbed the rest of the tackle, and jumped in the boat. The day was unusually warm for October. A stiff breeze was blowing, keeping the temperature comfortable but creating large waves on the lake. A small Jon boat is not designed for open water, especially when its powered with only a trolling motor. We let the wind carry us along the edge of the lake as we dropped lines off the side of the boat, not bothering to reel in our lines unless we had a bite. The loud announcement of fish on was heard several times by the time we drifted to the dam. Trevor caught several crappies and a small bass. Zane caught a big bass and I caught nothing while trying to keep the boat going in a straight line. Before we blew onto the dam, I managed to turn the boat into the wind and we fought our way back toward the other end. Halfway there, we passed a dead branch sticking up out of the water. I told Trevor to grab the branch and tie the boat to it. He snugged up the line and we stayed in one place for the first time since we had left the dock. I finally had a chance to do more fishing than boating. Dropping a small plastic grub straight down from the boat was all it took to get a crappie. Trevor and I caught several fish by letting the lure drift down among the branches of the submerged tree. Zane was still after the big bass. He refused to change lures and the bass would not bite in the trees. Before long, he put up his fishing rod and stretched out on the live well. The waves rocked the boat in a steady rhythm that almost put him to sleep. The occasional outburst of fish on from his brother was the only thing to keep him from having an afternoon nap in the middle of the lake. When Trevor had finally had enough fishing, we bounced the waves back to the dock. The boys bailed out and checked our bank poles, which each had a catfish. From a few hours spent on a Sunday afternoon, we had enough fish for a couple meals and a bunch of quality time together. Im sure well have no regrets for taking time spent enjoying the outdoors together.
By Walter Scott The grandsons wanted to come to Grandpa and Nannas house Sunday morning. Thats a good thing. Grandkids keep grandparents young and active, even on days they dont want to be active. There were times when I was young, I wanted to go fishing or hunting, but nobody had time to take me. I want to always make sure my grandsons have somebody who will take time for them when they want to be outdoors. At eleven years old, Trevor has the philosophy, a person cannot do too much fishing. Its hard to argue with such a belief. Excessive amounts of almost anything can be harmful, but I have never heard of anyone ruining their life or damaging their health from fishing to much. One day I did make my arm sore reeling in too many fish, but there were no long

U.S. Sen. Al Franken (D -Minn.) is pressing U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to ensure that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will fund the trapping and management of Minnesota s gray wolf population until the species is taken off the federal Endangered Species List. When the delisting takes place, management of the species will become the states responsibility. Sen. Franken, in a letter to Secretary Vilsack, said the gray wolf population has grown from near extinction to more than 3,000 animals in Minnesota and they now pose a threat to citizens and livestock unless they are actively trapped and managed. Federal funding to manage the population in Minnesota ran out on September 30, but USDA agreed to extend funding until the the end of 2011. If the gray wolf is not taken off the Endangered Species List by then, funding to manage the population will dry up, leaving Minnesotans and livestock herds vulnerable. "I thank you for your recent action to extend funding for three months, but urge that you maintain this funding beyond that time until the gray wolf is delisted from the Endangered Species List," Sen. Franken wrote to Secretary Vilsack. Until the gray wolf is delisted, the (USDA) trapping program remains a crucial tool for wolf population management...and helps maintain the livelihoods of hundreds of our farmers and livestock producers.

unreal. When your backs run that hard the linemen really like to block for them and they did that. I could not be happier with how we blocked. Again, this week, we had an injury in the line and sophomore Jake Gaida stepped in and did an outstanding job. The Tigers rushed for 321 yards. Wollenburg had 69, Dreher 160, Kellen 30, Mackenzie Asmus 7, Adam Sutlief 10, Benton Johnson 2, and Jackson Pollak 45. Heid and Kellen went 5 for 9 combined for 61 yards. Petermeier grabbed 4 of those for 51 yards and Mackenzie Asmus grabbed one ball for 10 yards.
Defensively were played very well. We gave up a total of 46 yards rushing and 55 passing on the night. Of those 55 passing yards 42 came on a screen pass that was perfectly thrown over the top of our "D" linemen's outstretched hand. He read it but being vertically challenged got in the way. The other 13 yards was on the fake punt. Petermeier and Wollenburg each had an interception to stop Eagle drives. With the win the Tigers were able to clinch the Prairie Conference South Championship outright.

Making Your Smile Blossom www.longprairiedentalclinic.com Fear the deer - deadly autumn road hazard
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety reminds motorists that the deer breeding season and crop harvest activity are the primary factors for increased deer movement during the autumn, resulting in a danger to motorists especially motorcyclists. There were 7,751 deervehicle crashes reported to DPS during the last three years, 20082010. More than one-third of those crashes took place in October and November resulting in 19 deaths, of which 15 were motorcyclists. The crashes also resulted in 65 serious injuries, of which 57 were sustained by motorcyclists. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) estimates the states deer population is one million. MOTORIST SAFETY TIPS: Buckle up, drive at safe speeds and pay attention be especially cautious during dusk and dawn when deer are more active. Dont veer for deer swerving can cause motorists to lose control and travel off the road or into oncoming traffic. Bringing a vehicle to a controlled stop and hitting a deer is safer than swerving. MOTORCYCLIST SAFETY TIPS: Avoid night and low-light riding periods (dusk and dawn) when deer are more active. When encountering deer, use both brakes to stop. If riders cannot stop in time, swerve carefully and slowly around the deer if there is space. If a collision cannot be avoided, keep head and eyes up to improve chances of keeping the bike up. Wear protective gear, especially a DOT-approved helmet. Drive focused and defensively by looking for reflecting deer eyes and silhouettes, especially during low-light times, and in forested and farm areas, says Lt. Eric Roeske of the Minnesota State Patrol. Deer do unpredictable things, like stop in the middle of the road, or cross and quickly recross. Sound your horn to urge the deer to leave the road. If a deer is struck by a vehicle, but not killed, DNR officials suggest for safety reasons to keep a distance from the animal. However, if a deer remains onsite, or poses a public safety risk, report
the incident to a DNR conservation officer or other local law enforcement agency. Any Minnesota resident may claim a road-killed animal by contacting a law enforcement officer. An authorization permit will be issued allowing the individual to lawfully possess the deer.

More than 400 unbelted deaths over the past three years
EXTRA SEAT BELT ENFORCEMENT CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES TO SAVE LIVES
Minnesota motorists will experience a heightened, statewide enforcement effort of seat belt and child passenger safety laws from Oct. 1427 during a Click It or Ticket campaign aimed at increasing seat belt use and saving lives. Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety reports 409 unbelted traffic deaths and 814 unbelted serious, life-altering injuries in the state during 20082010. Deputies, officers and troopers are asking motorists to be the main enforcers of the states primary seat belt law by speaking up to encourage others in the vehicle to buckle up. It may not be the easiest thing to tell someone what to do, but its a lot easier than dealing with the consequences, says Lt. Eric Roeske of the Minnesota State Patrol. Our goal is to not write tickets, its for motorists to make safe choices to limit these preventable tragedies. Seat belts must be worn correctly low and snug across the hips; shoulder straps should never be tucked under an arm or behind the back, which is unsafe and illegal. Of the 932 vehicle occupants killed during the last three years in Minnesota, only 45 percent were belted and more than half of those unbelted were ejected from the vehicle. Unbelted motorists can slam into and injure or kill others in the vehicle, while in less violent crashes, unbelted motorists will often crack teeth out on the steering wheel or break their nose. The primary seat belt law requires passengers in all seating positions, including the back seat, to be buckled up or seated in the correct child restraint. Officers will stop and ticket unbelted drivers or passengers. The campaign will also include enforcement of Minnesotas child passenger safety law which requires children to use a booster seat starting after they have outgrown a forward-facing harnessed restraint (typically 4060 pounds, depending on seats weight limitations). Children should remain in a booster until they are age 8 or 4 feet 9 inches tall whichever comes first. It is recommended to keep a child in a booster based on their height rather than age. Boosters help adult seat belts fit children correctly. To-date in 2011 there have been 261 traffic deaths compared to 323 at this time in 2010. Seat belt enforcement and education efforts are a component of the states core traffic safety initiative, Toward Zero Deaths (TZD). A primary vision of the TZD program is to create a safe driving culture in Minnesota in which motorists support a goal of zero road fatalities by practicing and promoting safe and smart driving behavior. TZD focuses on the application of four strategic areas to reduce crashes education, enforcement, engineering and emergency trauma response.

Waterfowl hunting success still a good bet as cooler weather moves into Minnesota
Those who have not yet hunted waterfowl this fall shouldnt fear that the ducks have passed them by, according to Steve Cordts, waterfowl specialist for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The seasons best waterfowl hunting could be on its way, with conditions becoming ducky as cooler, wetter weather moves in. Cordts noted that while clear skies and warm weather have kept some local ducks around, they also have kept migrant ducks hanging farther to the north than usual. The warm weather delayed duck migrations early in the season, Cordts said. But with the colder weather, hunting should improve as the number of migrating ducks grows. There are some good hunting opportunities now; hunters just need to scout a little more or look in nontraditional areas. So far, duck hunting success has been fair across the state, Cordts said. Blue-winged teal, wood
ducks, mallards and ring-necked ducks have dominated hunters bags, but that will begin to change. Additional migrant ducks are starting to move in, Cordts noted. Green-winged teal, wigeon, gadwall, shoveler, pintail and a few scaup are now present. Most early migrants, such as blue-winged teal and wood ducks, have moved south, but hunters can look for ring-necked duck numbers to peak soon. Canada goose numbers remain good in many locations. A few snow geese are present in northwestern Minnesota. HOTSPOTS IDENTIFIED As for state hotspots, Thief Lake Wildlife Management Area in extreme northwestern Minnesota is always a good bet later in October, especially for diving ducks, according to Cordts. Areas in and around Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge near Detroit Lakes can be good in October, especially for ring-necked ducks. Otter Tail County is always a good bet for diving ducks. Farther south, Big Stone County features a mixed bag of mallards, other puddle ducks and geese. Southwestern and southern Minnesota can provide good late hunting for mallards and Canada geese, especially in fields. Mallard
numbers are highest near the North Dakota and South Dakota borders. The Upper Mississippi National Wildlife Refuge in extreme southeastern Minnesota is often a good choice in late November for a mix of diving and puddle ducks. Canvasbacks typically peak in this area during the first week of November. GOOD OPPORTUNITIES With the teachers convention weekend approaching, Cordts said hunting opportunities abound. There is great opportunity in the mid to latter part of the season for hunters to see good duck numbers, said Cordts. I encourage those who havent been out yet or have been discouraged with the warm weather to grab the gun, load up the dog and hit the water. Or try some field hunting for ducks and Canada geese. Crop harvest is progressing rapidly and many of these fields are attractive to fieldfeeding waterfowl. The North Duck Zone (north of Highway 210) is open through Nov. 22 for ducks and through Dec. 17 for geese. The South Duck Zone (south of Highway 210) is open through Nov. 27 for ducks and through Dec. 22 for geese. As of Oct. 9, legal shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. Hunters should refer to the waterfowl hunting regulations booklet or visit www.dnr.state.mn.us/hunting/wat erfowl for more information. Licenses and stamps are available at about 1,500 electronic license agents throughout the state, including sporting goods stores, hunting and fishing supply stores, and some discount chains. They can also be purchased online at www.mndnr.gov or by phone at 888-665-4236.
