Lewis County Water Alliance Update: Cowlitz Indian Tribe Motion Opposes CGR
Cowlitz Indian Tribe
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 17, 2019
Longview, WA - On July 6, 2019 the Cowlitz Indian Tribe’s Council unanimously passed a motion opposing the proposed Crystal Geyser facility near Randle, Washington. After witnessing considerable local and tribal opposition, and other factors such as land use, climate change concerns, and numerous other concerns, we believe it is not in the public interest for Ecology to issue a water right for the proposed Crystal Geyser facility.

National Weather Service: Forecast At A Glance
Caption: One more day of showers on Thursday, then partly cloudy on Friday. The weekend and Monday look to be sunny and warm, with highs in the 70s to mid 80s.

Cliff Mass Weather and Climate Blog: JAWS2
JAWS2 Hits--And The Atmosphere is Not Ready to Return to Normal
JAWS2 hit today and precipitation was quite substantial for July. (Remember JAWS stands for July Abnormally Wet System). The total accumulation for the last 24 h is found below. Over an inch on the western side of the Olympics and similar values at some locations on the western slopes of the northern Cascades. Just where we needed the rain.
…
Although the worst should be over by late Friday, the atmosphere seems to be stuck in an unusual configuration, with an upper level trough in our vicinity. To demonstrate this, let me show you the height anomaly from normal at 500 hPa, about 18,000 ft. Blue indicates lower heights than normal (associated with troughing). The heights are in the solid lines.

In short, next week should bring upper 70s, relatively dry conditions, and nothing that will obviously be a wildfire issue. British Columbia is soaked--so don't expect a fire outbreak there. Typical temperatures and no smoke. Don't feel guilty or worried about the weather--this is when we get pay back for December.

FTC: FTC Seeks Comments on Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Rule
FTC to host workshop on COPPA in October as part of initiative
July 17, 2019 - Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Government Bureau of Consumer Protection Consumer Protection Privacy and Security Children's Privacy
In light of continued rapid changes in technology, the Federal Trade Commission is seeking comment on the effectiveness of the amendments the agency made to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA Rule) in 2013 and whether additional changes are needed.
The COPPA Rule, which first went into effect in 2000 to implement the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, requires certain websites and other online services that collect personal information from children under the age of 13 to provide notice to parents and obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from these children.
The FTC typically reviews its rules every 10 years. Rapid changes in technology, including the expanded use of education technology, reinforce the need to re-examine the COPPA Rule at this time.

Funding is made through the USDA’s Outreach and Assistance for Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers and Veteran Farmers and Ranchers Program (also known as the 2501 Program). The program is administered by the USDA Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement (OPPE).
“All farmers and ranchers deserve equal access to USDA programs and services,” said Mike Beatty, director of the USDA Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement. “2501 grants go a long way in fulfilling our mission to reach historically underserved communities and ensure their equitable participation in our programs.”

Health Corner: Hypnosis for Health - Can Trances Work?
Have you seen someone get hypnotized? They may have been put in a trance and told to do silly things. But hypnosis can be used for more than just show. It’s also being studied to treat certain health conditions.
Medical hypnosis aims to improve health and wellness. It can help relax and focus your mind—and make you more open to new ideas.
The technique usually has two parts. First, the health care provider gets your attention by inviting you to focus on something, such as an object or breathing. When you focus like this, your brain becomes more open to suggestion.
“Focusing makes the brain more flexible,” explains Dr. Mark P. Jensen, a pain expert at the University of Washington who researches hypnosis.
Then the health care provider can offer a helpful suggestion. For example, if your goal is to manage pain, the provider may suggest that you feel greater comfort. Or they may suggest that you focus on being able to handle the pain more easily.
“Hypnosis takes advantage of the fact that people are able to be open to absorbing new ideas,” Jensen says. “You get someone’s attention and then you offer them a new way of looking at a problem that will make the problem easier for them to manage.”
In addition to pain, studies suggest that hypnosis may help manage irritable bowel syndrome and post-traumatic stress disorder. Researchers are also studying hypnosis for mood disorders.
“There’s emerging evidence that it’s useful for helping people to manage depression and anxiety, including anxiety around medical procedures and surgery,” Jensen says.
Some people respond to hypnosis more easily than others. It’s also more effective if you want to be hypnotized. Hypnosis is not mind control by another person.
“We’re all open to new ideas at some level,” he says. “With people who have more hypnotic talent, it just takes fewer sessions. But everybody can respond at some level to hypnosis.”
Imaging studies are shedding light on what happens in the brain during hypnosis. “Hypnosis is a particularly powerful technique for changing brain activity,” Jensen says.
Researchers have found that different hypnotic suggestions can affect different parts of the brain. Pain involves both sensation and emotion.
A hypnotic suggestion for greater comfort changes the brain activity in the areas that process the intensity of the sensations.
“If I make the suggestion that these sensations don’t bother you anymore, then the part of the brain that processes how upset you are by pain decreases in activity,” Jensen says. “But the part of the brain that processes intensity of sensation doesn’t necessarily change.”
The way a drug treats pain is different. If you take an opioid to relieve pain, your whole brain can be affected, including the parts that process sensation. The pain may go away, but there can be side effects. These may include constipation, breathing problems, and even addiction.
More studies are needed to fully evaluate the potential benefits of hypnosis and how it might work.We do know hypnosis doesn’t work for everyone. “There are some people—very few—that it only helps a little,” Jensen says. “There are others whose lives can be completely turned around for the better with hypnotic treatments. Most people are somewhere in between.”
