  • The Cretaceous-Tertiary Boundary Interval in Badlands National Park, South Dakota
    The Cretaceous-Tertiary Boundary Interval in Badlands National Park, South Dakota Philip W. Stoffer1 Paula Messina John A. Chamberlain, Jr. Dennis O. Terry, Jr. U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 01-56 2001 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Gale A. Norton, Secretary U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Charles G. Groat, Director The Cretaceous/Tertiary (K-T) boundary study interval at the Rainbow Colors Overlook along Badlands Loop Road, North Unit of Badlands National Park. This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 1345 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025 http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/open-file/of01-056/ ABSTRACT A marine K-T boundary interval has been identified throughout the Badlands National Park region of South Dakota. Data from marine sediments suggest that deposits from two asteroid impacts (one close, one far away) may be preserved in the Badlands. These impact- generated deposits may represent late Maestrichtian events or possibly the terminal K-T event. Interpretation is supported by paleontological correlation, sequence stratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, and strontium isotope geochronology. This research is founded on nearly a decade of NPS approved field work in Badlands National Park and a foundation of previously published data and interpretations. The K-T boundary occurs within

    SOUTH DAKOTA TOBACCO CONTROL STATE PLAN 2020-2025 SOUTH DAKOTA 600 East Capitol Avenue | Pierre, SD 57501 P605.773.3361 F605.773.5683 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Office of the Secretary March 2020 Dear Fellow South Dakotans: Tobacco use remains the single most preventable cause of disease and death in the United States and in South Dakota. Of all deaths in South Dakota in 2018, 18.8% were in part caused by tobacco use, including 17.7% of all heart disease deaths and 29% of cancer deaths. The South Dakota Department of Health and its partners are pleased to present the 2020-2025 Tobacco Control State Plan. The plan was developed in collaboration with Tobacco Control Program staff, key partners and stakeholders. The 2016 Surgeon General’s report, E-cigarette Use Among Youth and Young Adults called youth use of e-cigarettes an epidemic, and data from the 2019 National Youth Tobacco Survey shows 1 in 4 high school students use e-cigarettes. While cigarette use rates among high school students are at an all-time low, the rise in e-cigarettes has brought overall tobacco product use up. The South Dakota Tobacco Control Program is dedicated to decreasing e-cigarette use among youth in South Dakota and will act to protect our young people from all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes. Smoking cessation improves health status and enhances quality of life. The 2020 Surgeon General’s report, Smoking Cessation: A Report of the Surgeon General, found that smoking cessation, at any age, is beneficial. Smoking places a substantial financial burden on smokers, healthcare systems, and society.

  • William Marsh, 'A Rather Shadowy Figure
    William Marsh, ‘a rather shadowy figure,’ crossed boundaries both national and political Vermont holds a unique but little-known place in eighteenth-century American and Canadian history. During the 1770s William Marsh and many others who had migrated from Connecticut and Massachusetts to take up lands granted by New Hampshire Governor Benning Wentworth, faced severe chal- lenges to their land titles because New York also claimed the area between the Connecticut and Hudson rivers, known as “the New Hampshire Grants.” New York’s aggressive pursuit of its claims generated strong political tensions and an- imosity. When the American Revolution began, the settlers on the Grants joined the patriot cause, expecting that a new national regime would counter New York and recognize their titles. During the war the American Continental Congress declined to deal with the New Hampshire settlers’ claims. When the Grants settlers then proposed to become a state separate from New York, the Congress denied them separate status. As a consequence, the New Hampshire grantees declared independence in 1777 and in 1778 constituted themselves as an independent republic named Vermont, which existed until 1791 when it became the 14th state in the Ameri- can Union. Most of the creators of Vermont played out their roles, and their lives ended in obscurity. Americans remember Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys and their military actions early in the Revolution. But Allen was a British captive during the critical years of Vermont’s formation, 1775-1778. A few oth- ers, some of them later Loyalists, laid the foundations for Vermont’s recognition and stability.

The trip is limited to the first 50 registrants. The trip is open to all professionals, honoraries, guests, and spouses. Schedule: 6:30 – 7:15 AM Breakfast: Pine Crest Ballroom C 7:15 – 7:30 am Bus loading at main entrance to hotel 7:30 AM Bus departure 5:00 PM Return: The Lodge at Deadwood The field trip begins with a 2-hour drive to Launch Facility Delta-09 which is part of the National Park Service’s Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. Here, a National Park Service Ranger will provide a brief presentation on the National Historic Site. Delta-09 was part of the Minuteman I and II missile systems that once dotted the landscapes of South Dakota, North Dakota, Missouri, Montana, Wyoming Colorado, and Nebraska. Currently, Minuteman III missiles remain active in Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, Colorado, and Nebraska. For nearly 30 years, these missiles and their facilities remained on continuous alert serving an important role in America’s triad of defense, including land-based ICBMs. After visiting Launch Facility Delta-09, we will travel for another 19 miles to the northeast entrance of Badlands National Park. There, we will be joined by Dr. Rachael Benton, Park Paleontologist, and Dr. Emmett Evanoff, Assistant Professor of Geology at the University of Northern Colorado, who will lead the remainder of the trip through the Park. The Badlands of South Dakota is one of the most remarkable areas in North America, noted for its stark beauty, exceptional vertebrate fossils, and unique geologic history.

  • South Dakota Road Trip Guide
    South Dakota is the land of Great Faces and Great Places, thanks to its friendly people and a long list of must-see attractions that includes the iconic Mount Rushmore National Memorial. Where to go? Black Hills National Forest encompasses a large part of the western side of the state and is home to Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, and Spearfish Canyon. Native Americans called the area “paha sapa” (“hills that are black”) because of the dark appearance of the pine trees from a distance on its mountains and hills. History certainly has its place in South Dakota. From the infamous Wild West characters & history of Deadwood to the prairie life preserved in De Smet at the Laura Ingalls Wilder sites, the past is always present in South Dakota. Outdoor activities are also a big draw for families and adventurers. There’s hiking the Centennial Trail, rock-climbing the Needles in Custer State Park, and camping along the colorful spires in Badlands National Park. You can also spot endless wildlife, like bison herds, bighorn sheep, mountain goats and even prairie dogs! Cities like Sioux Falls and Rapid City give unique metro experiences with strong local business and restaurant scenes, while communities like Aberdeen, Mitchell, Pierre, Vermillion, Yankton, Brookings and Watertown are home to positive vibes that stick with you long after you leave. How to get here? The best way to experience South Dakota is on wheels. A road trip here can easily include scenic drives along winding roads like Needles Highway and the Badlands Loop, and wide views of the open prairie from the interstates and back roads.

  • Office of the Governor
    PETER SHUMLIN Governor State of Vermont OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR December 21, 2015 Victoria Wachino, Director Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services 7500 Security Boulevard Baltimore, MD 21244 Dear Director Wachino: Please find attached supporting materials for the renewal of Vermont's Global Commitment to Health Section 1115 Medicaid Demonstration. As you are aware, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the State of Vermont have a long history of collaboration on a very innovative delivery and financing model. Since 2005, the Global Commitment Demonstration has provided Vermont with authority to operate its Medicaid program under a public managed care model. Since that time, Vermont has undertaken a major transformation of its Medicaid program to adhere to Medicaid managed care principles and rules. This transformation included the adoption of numerous operational and policy changes and the assumption of risk based on an actuarial rate setting process. In exchange, the public managed care model provides additional flexibilities regarding service delivery and payment. Vermont has used this flexibility to advance person- centered care, develop service delivery options to best meet individual needs, and to advance its reform goals such as performance- based payment approaches. I am pleased to say that the Demonstration has operated with great success. Looking toward the future, Vermont remains at the forefront of state-based health care reform. Future goals envision the creation of an All-Payer Model. All-Payer efforts include the continued alignment of the Global Commitment Demonstration and current State Innovation Model (SIM) work with the State's pursuit of related Medicare waivers.

This consists of hard red spring, durum and hard red winter wheats. Marquis is the most desirable spring wheat for milling pur­ poses but Kota and Ruby have outyielded Marquis in the variety tests a.t the South Dakota State College experiment stations of Brookings and Highmore. Turkey S. D. 144 has given the highe_st yields and survives the winters better than the other varieties of winter wheats tested. Among the durum wheats, Kubanka is wanted by the millers but in the variety tests this variety has yielded less than Acme, Monad, and Mindum. Winter wheat seeded in the standing corn yielded 20.0 bush­ els while that seeded on plowed ground yielded 11.5 bushels per acre, at the College Experiment Station at Brookings.
