Many South Floridians think tile roofs are among the strongest against hurricanes. For years, insurance companies gave homeowners discounts on their premiums for installing them.
But some insurers have stopped giving the discounts because of the state's complicated new form. It's costing homeowners such as Amir Kanel, of Palm Beach Gardens, hundreds of dollars a year.
Kanel installed a $50,000 concrete barrel tile roof in February, only to have his insurance agent say he won't get a discount. His insurance premiums will go up 10 percent this year, to $3,573. Kanel's house didn't qualify for a discount because the insurance inspector, following a year-old state form, didn't say that he should get one.
The form doesn't specifically mention tile roofs as eligible because it's based on a 2002 state study that didn't evaluate tile roofs - one of the two most common roof types in South Florida, especially for upscale developments, according to building officials in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
"If I knew ahead of time that concrete tile roofs [wouldn't qualify for a discount] I wouldn't have done it," Kanel said, adding that he would have needed special approval from his homeowners association to put on another type of roof.
The state has gotten a lot of questions about tile roof discounts since the new state inspection form came out, said representatives of the Office of Insurance Regulation and Department of Financial Services. In some cases, inspectors provide extra information saying the tile roofs meet the latest building codes and should qualify for discounts.
"There are still insurers who are taking a harder line and sticking strictly to the language in the present form," Rob Powell, a Department of Financial Services employee, wrote to Kanel in April.
Some inspectors are wary of new state rules that make it a crime to give unwarranted discounts, so they err on the side of caution when it comes to gray areas on the form.
"This has been a mess for about a year," said Kanel's agent, Theresa Goulet, of Horace Mann Insurance in Jupiter. Goulet said it's up to policyholders to push to get discounts, and Kanel could get one if he can get the inspector on board.
Kanel's insurer, Universal Property & Casualty, agreed that it's up to inspectors. "If a policyholder has additional information relating to an inspection, we are happy to consider that information in accordance with the discount requirements," said Sean Downes, the company's chief operating officer.
The inspector for Kanel's home, Larry Smith, said he can't change a form once he has submitted it, but he would be willing to if Kanel gets approval from the company.
Tile roof omission
Applied Research Associates, a research and engineering company hired by insurers and others to help with rate filings and other analyses, studied roof performance for the state in 2002. It didn't evaluate tile roofs because it didn't have enough data on them from insurers, said Larry Twisdale Jr., executive vice president.
"Tile roof materials were not contemplated in the [study] and were consequently not included in the" form, said Brittany Perez, spokeswoman for the Office of Insurance Regulation.
Since last year, policyholders have complained that other legitimate discounts have been revoked by inspectors hired by insurance companies using the new inspection form.
The insurance regulation office met with insurance industry officials, inspectors and others Monday to discuss changes to allow discounts on tile roofs, among others.
"The office continues holding public hearings and workshops to continue dialogue in an effort to enhance the form and make it more comprehensive while reducing fraud" or unwarranted discounts, Perez said.
Tile roofs in storms
Since 2002, Applied Research and others have studied how roofs stand up in storms.

The school with the funny nickname is 40 minutes from becoming no joke.
UC Irvine had a great coach once in Bill Mulligan. The school has produced a roster of star players that includes Kevin Magee, Ben McDonald and Scott Brooks.
The school with the funny nickname is 40 minutes from becoming no joke.
UC Irvine had a great coach once in Bill Mulligan. The school has produced a roster of star players that includes Kevin Magee, Ben McDonald and Scott Brooks.
The mighty Anteaters, however, have never needled their noses into an NCAA field.
Irvine is now on that special brink after Friday night's 67-60 win over top-seeded Long Beach State at the Honda Center. The victory put the Anteaters into Saturday's Big West Tournament championship game against Pacific.
The Anteaters are 0-3 in conference title games after losing NCAA chances in 1988, 1994 and 2008.
Irvine (20-14) split two games with Long Beach this year, but Friday's win has to be considered a significant program upset over a team that has won three straight Big West regular-season titles.
"They had the player of the year and the coach of the year, and deservedly so," third-year Irvine Coach Russell Turner said of Long Beach. "But tonight we had the better team."
It was tough to argue.
Fourth-seeded Irvine overcame all kinds of obstacles to pull out the win. The Anteaters went to halftime thinking they had a four-point lead after what everyone thought was a long three-pointer by Daman Starring to beat the buzzer.
After a lengthy review, however, the officials ruled the shot clock had expired before the shot, negated the basket, and called both teams out of their locker rooms to finish the last .8 of the half.
It looked like a momentum-killer when Long Beach emerged from the half and jumped to a seven-point lead at 43-36.
Irvine caught a huge break, though, when Long Beach star James Ennis was sent to the bench after picking up his fourth foul with 14:19 remaining.
That allowed Irvine the comeback opening it needed. Alex Young's three-pointer with 3:41 left finally pushed the Anteaters into a 54-53 lead. Starring then made one of two free throws and soon after put Irvine up by four with a driving layup.
It was only Starring's second basket after missing nine of his previous 10 attempts. Starring later fed Will Davis for a jarring jam with 39 seconds left. That put the Anteaters up by six and pretty much started the celebration.
It didn't hurt Irvine's cause that Long Beach's Ennis fouled out with 1:08 left.
Irvine has no true star player. Three Anteaters scored in double figures, led by Young's 18. Starring had an off night shooting but contributed seven assists, three steals and four rebounds. The Anteaters succeed with unselfish offense and swarming intimidation.
"It just came down to the defensive end, as it always does for us," Young said.
Young's coach thought the key was his team committing only seven turnovers under tournament pressure. That forced athletic Long Beach to become a half-court team.
"We didn't turn it over," Turner said. "If you don't turn it over, Long Beach can't run."
Long Beach leaves the tournament with a 19-13 record but earns an automatic bid into the National Invitation Tournament by virtue of winning the Big West regular-season title.
It seemed little consolation for two sullen 49ers seniors at the postgame podium, Ennis and Peter Pappageorge. They were both contributors to last year's run to the NCAA tournament.
"That's probably the biggest disappointment," Pappageorge said. "We tasted it last year. We knew how good it is."
Long Beach claimed the regular-season title again but seemed vulnerable all year as it tried to piece together a team that lost four key seniors.
"We never got consistent enough to win three games in a row," Coach Dan Monson said. "Today was a microcosm of our season."
Keala King and Tony Freeland led Long Beach with 15 points, while Mike Caffey added 14.
Pacific 55, Cal Poly: 53: Travis Fulton made a put-back shot with one second left to lift second-seeded Pacific into the championship game. The Tigers will face UC Irvine.Tony Gill led Pacific (21-12) with 20 points while Chris Eversley led Cal Poly (18-13) with 12.

It also instructs the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to undertake studies on the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people and on the legal implications of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, together with the Inter-American Judicial Committee.
The OAS General Assembly met on 5-7 June in El Salvador under the theme of 'Citizen Security in the Americas'. As part of the second phase of the Vida Digna project, which is funded by ViiV Healthcare's Positive Action Program for community responses to HIV, Alliance Linking Organisation Asociacion ATLACATL Vivo Positivo (ATLACATL) and the Latin American and Caribbean networks REDTRASEX and REDLACTRANS were on hand to demand an end to hate crimes based on sexual orientation, gender identity and violence against women.
The event was also preceded by the Alliance's 'What's Preventing Prevention?' campaign's email action calling on representatives of the Latin America and the Caribbean states to put the OAS commitments into action and investigate the violence, abuse and killings faced by the transgender community and other sexual minorities across the region.
To contribute to the fight for human rights the REDTRASEX, ALTACATL and REDLACTRANS and their partners came together to engage in the following social advocacy activities:
Now that OAS have reaffirmed their commitments to human rights based on sexual orientation and gender identity it is imperative that its member states keep to their promises and ensure that the rights of sexual minorities are respected, protected and promoted and that gender based hate crimes are properly investigated and perpetrators taken to justice.
Visit our 'What's Preventing Prevention?' campaign site to email the representatives of the Latin America and the Caribbean states to OAS and call on them to put their commitments into action.

View-killing windmills: Blame the politicians
What started with a small, 12-turbine project in Lempster in 2008 has turned into a run on New Hampshire's ridgelines by large energy companies that want to cover our hills with scores of windmills. Some of them would reach 400 feet tall, 125 feet taller than New Hampshire's tallest building, City Hall Plaza in Manchester. As the scarring of New Hampshire hilltops accelerates, the politicians who promoted this have a lot to answer for.
In 2007, the Democratic-controlled Legislature passed a bill sponsored by Sen. Martha Fuller Clark, D-Portsmouth, which created the state's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). Legislators mandated that at least 16 percent of the state's energy production come from new "renewable" sources such as wind power by 2025 (25 percent from all renewable sources). Suddenly, New Hampshire needed windmills.
The law has cost more than views. Public Service of New Hampshire calculates that the RPS mandate has cost it $58.3 million since 2008. It projects another $19.2 million hit in 2013 alone. Ratepayers bear that burden.
Washington shares the blame. Federal tax credits for power produced by windmills go to huge energy corporations such as Spain's Iberdrola, the company behind several New Hampshire wind farms. A recent study by the Northbridge Group of Concord, Mass., concluded that the tax subsidy "encourages wind developers to locate wind farms with little regard to consumer demand, as long as they can be placed on line and their power brought to market to collect the subsidy," the National Center for Policy Analysis reported this week.
Do-gooders trying to force us to switch from coal to wind power have encouraged the industrialization of scenic New Hampshire ridgelines. That industrialization will not stop until these perverse government incentives are removed.

The 2013 resort runways are ripe with trend-inspiring makeup looks—from costume drama to prim and proper—there's a little something for everyone.
Be inspired by one or all of these three makeup styles:
1. The Romantic. The dramatic pink shadow and logo beauty mark are hardly ready-to-wear, but use it as inspiration for a romantic look. Start by blending a light pink or purple shadow from lash line to crease with your Base Shadow Brush. Add definition by applying the same shadow with your Accent Brush along your upper and lower lash line.
2. The Rebel. Resist convention and apply a gel liner along your lower lash line with your Fine Liner Brush. Lining your bottom liner only will bring attention to your under eye area so don't skimp on the under eye concealer.
3. The Classic. No need to reinvent the wheel— a lightly winged-out eyeliner is universally flattering. Create flawless skin by buffing foundation in with your Expert Face Brush.
Supermodel, Lindsey Wixson dazzled in each trend—which one is for you?

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – April 15, 2008 – The Clark University Cougars scored eight runs with two outs in the top of the ninth to rally past the Springfield College baseball team, 12-7, on Tuesday afternoon at Berry-Allen field.
With the loss, the Pride fall to 10-17, 3-6 in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play, while the Cougars improve to 10-16, 4-5 in league play.
After Mario Piscitelli (Greenlawn, N.Y.) struck out Phil DiMarco for the second out in the ninth, the Cougars rattled off eight runs off six hits to take a five-run lead. Stephen DeMartino's three-run double to deep left field broke open the game as Clark completed the unlikely rally.
Clark threatened early as the Cougars had runners on second and third with no outs in the top of the first inning. Joe Silva led off the inning with a single to right center and moved to second after Matt Adams drew a walk. The duo each advanced a base after a pass ball to put two runners in scoring position. However, starting pitcher Mike Cole (Greenfield, Mass.) settled down, retiring the next three batters to get keep Clark off the scoreboard. Cole struck out Scott Hollingsworth, had Phil DiMarco ground out to the pitcher, and struck out Cole Osburn to close out the bottom of the first.
Springfield tacked on the first run of the contest when Justin Nussey's (Westminster, Mass.) single through the left side of the infield plated Jamie Mackie (Springfield, Mass.) from second base. Mackie reached earlier in the inning on a similar single to left field and moved over to second on a fielder's choice.
Nussey came up big in the third inning as he cracked a two-RBI single through the left side of the infield to put the home squad up 3-0. Nussey brought home Joe Kropa (Cranford, N.J.) from third base and Mackie from second for his third RBI of the afternoon.
Clark produced four runs in the top of the fourth to take a 4-3 lead. DeMartino started it off after he cracked a an RBI double over Kropa's head in left field to plate the Cougar first run of the game. Clark would add two more runs after a fielding error by Cole as he attempted to cover first base on a hard hit ball to first by Gunner Hagstrom. Clark's final run of the inning came when Brendan Solecki slapped a single to left field to plate Hagstrom.
The Pride led off the bottom half of the frame with back to back singles from Ryan Tatreau (Greenfield, Mass.) and Drew Michael (Longmeadow, Mass.). The tandem each moved into scoring position after a perfect sac bunt by Mike Robilotto (East Meadow, N.Y.) down the third base line. Kropa plated both teammates on a hard grounder to right field as the Pride regained its lead, 5-4.
Cole delivered in the top of the fifth once again as he struck out Bathrick with the bases juiced to maintain the Pride's one-run lead.
In the bottom half of the fifth, Springfield added what seem to be two insurance runs as the Pride manufacted a pair of runs. With the bases loade, Michael drew a walk to plate Rex Cone (Bristol, Conn.) and Ryan Hingston (Windsor, Vt.) would later score on a wild pitch.
Piscitelli was served the loss after giving up seven earned runs in 2/3 of an inning. Cole went five innings, striking out six and scattering four hits in the no decision. Nussey finished with a team-best three RBI while Kropa added a pair of runs batted in.
Angelo Guisado picked up the win for Clark as he allowed just one hit in 3.2 innings of work out of the pen. Silva finished 4 for 6 with two RPI while DeMartino added four RBI after his two doubles.
The Pride return to action on Wednesday afternoon when it travels to take on Wesleyan in non-conference action. First pitch is slated for 4:00 pm.

Schoolhouses used to be tiny. In the 19th century, most were a single, vaulted room with rows of benches that could seat little more than a dozen pupils. They were usually painted white or bright red – the cheapest of paint colors at the time.
My, how things have changed. Education isn't a luxury anymore – it's a necessity. And 21st century school administrators aren't just throwing up a plank shed in an afternoon and employing schoolmarms to teach the three 'R's' – they're planning and commissioning multiacre complexes to host a vast array of academic programs that cater to an ever-growing palette of student interests.
"A project (like this) is very consuming," said Tom Fleming, superintendent for Richland School District. "At every phase of planning and construction, a decision needs to be made. It's quite a process."
The Richland Senior High School is the most recently developed in our area. Although the district's decision to build was a reactive one – the former middle school building's roof collapsed in 2003, diverting students to nearby Rachel Hill Elementary – Fleming said the board was committed to a new structure that could grow with the student body and the Richland community.
The three-phase project, which administrators would later tweak to house both middle and high school students, had a price tag around $40 million. It was commissioned by L.R. Kimball & Associates of Ebensburg and came in pieces: The Richland athletics turf field was in first, eight years ago, the fieldhouse – housing locker rooms and weight training areas – came a year after that, and students were filling the classrooms in 2007.
"We wanted to give equal space, expense and attention to the athletics side of the building as well as the arts side of the building," Fleming said. "So, to have a facility that's capable of hosting the events that a school is able to take on is something that's a benefit and something we definitely considered in our planning."
The school's modern features, like its state-of-the-art food court-style lunchroom, came with an additional cost, however – a 2-mill increase in property taxes. The district, while receiving a certain degree of state reimbursement for the project, was getting a less-than-average amount in 2008, due to its high tax base and the district's high enrollment and test scores, which, at the time, were the highest in the region.
Using state funds
"You almost have to be in the rule box and have out-of-the-box thinking at the same time," said Gerald Zahorchak, superintendent of Greater Johnstown School District.
According to Zahorchak, the district paid for its new school – completed in 2003 – by consolidating and upgrading its existing technical programs. Instead of spending money to send students to Greater Johnstown Career and Technology Center, they were kept at the home base, along with the revenues attached to their curriculum.
"We haven't had the need – because of that project – to increase our taxes," he said. "Good budgeteering gave us the bond payment every year. ... Those kids actually paid for our new building."
Zahorchak said he accrued a wealth of knowledge about how school construction is funded in the planning stages of his new school. What he said he never fully got a hold of, however, was how the bonds that districts assume when building are actually financed.
"Typically, when you pay for a bond, you pay back twice the amount you paid for the bond," he explained, although he added there's still a mystifying element. "No two people will tell the same story. And you can really spend and overspend in the bond market."
That's why taking advantage of state funds at every turn is so important. The winds may change someday. In fact, the state is currently in a two-year moratorium for reimbursing school district projects that have not reached a certain planning stage.
'Community center for area'
The proposed Forest Hills Middle High School, currently in stage "D" of the planning process, was able to skate in past the cutoff and will be receiving state funding for about 15 percent of the total cost. Zahorchak said they're fortunate, as only the most independently wealthy school districts and communities in the state will even consider building now.
But the Forest Hills School District has been at the project for about a decade – it was bequeathed by past district officials. It's addressing district concerns over a drop in districtwide enrollment, antiquated infrastructure and a need for facility consolidation.
Officials put H.F. Lenz Co. of Johnstown in a supervisory role, later contracting Eckles Group of New Castle to plan, render and build 199,000 square feet of new, state-of-the-art school wings around the existing Rangers fieldhouse. And when construction wraps, as is expected in 2015, the district plans to share the fruits of its labor with the rest of the St. Michael-Sidman area.
"The new facility will not only serve the educational needs of the district's students but act as the recreational and social community center for our area," reads an official mission statement from the district.
Specifically, the district plans to make the school's library and media center and proposed dual gymnasiums available to the public after school is out. A "large group instruction room" is also being designed to "accommodate a variety of functional configurations." Superintendent Edwin Bowser said it's important that the school's layout be fluid and reconfigurable.
"We designed the building around our curriculum," he said. "We built the school so that, in 30 years, no matter what the philosophy in education is, we can adapt for the future needs of the students."
Like Richland, the facilities could clear new paths for the school to become a community hub. When the main and auxiliary gyms are opened, graduation, districtwide assemblies and athletic tournaments become functional possibilities for the new space, which can hold roughly 1,500 people.
Technology like ceiling speakers and headset microphones for instructors make the already spacious classrooms that much more open. All of those classrooms are locked down by a methodically plotted "mouse trap" security system that not only maintains the building's integrity when the public resources are in use, but keeps unauthorized visitors trapped in an antechamber that requires magnetic card credentials to exit. An outdoor courtyard could function as a lunch area or a science lab, given the time of day.
Faculty's feedback important
Fleming said it's important to get the school faculty's feedback when building the spaces in which they'll teach. It's something they did a good bit of when planning their new high school.
"We asked, 'What do you like about your current space and, if you had an opportunity to design your space, what would you change?' " he said.
The public will also have a say in the developing Forest Hills Middle High School plan. As part of Act 34 – aka the "Taj Mahal Act" – public hearings regarding major construction plans in school districts are required. Describing the law is as easy as illustrating what the name represents – the Taj Mahal, the most expensive and extravagant structure of its time, would be a terribly poor school facility. So, the law is designed to block flashy or costly projects that don't focus on building the best learning environment possible.
For transparency's sake, 30 days are allowed for inspection of the design documents by local residents. The public hearing for the new school will be held on April 30, with the public consideration period continuing to the end of May.
Building the most cutting-edge and efficient facility possible is still the goal, however, and all the administrators interviewed here shared the sentiment that well-built schools mean well-rounded students.
"We've found the school does make a difference," Zahorchak said. "A good school facility helps with student outcomes – there's no doubt in my mind about that."

Follow the movement of the 2011 free agents in this list, broken down by position.
The Denver Broncos are set to talk with free agent pass rushers Dwight Freeney and Abraham on Thursday, 48 hours after they submitted a new contract proposal to Elvis Dumervil.||||||| Freeney, 33, and Abraham, 34, are both older and less productive than Dumervil, 29, but might make financial sense for the Broncos, who had to cut Dumervil last week to avoid paying him $12 million in 2013.
Abraham was released by the Falcons on Friday.||||||| This was not a surprise move even though Abraham remains one of the league's top pass rushers. The Falcons were able to save money in their quest to get younger. Abraham has been the Falcons' only consistent pass rusher since being acquired from the New York Jets in 2006. At age 34, he led the team with 10 sacks but had to cut back on his snaps in a bid to stay healthy.
Abraham is starting Sunday in the NFC title game.||||||| Abraham is starting after he was limited through the practice week with a sore left ankle.
Atlanta's starting lineup includes Abraham (ankle), safety William Moore (hamstring) and cornerback Dunta Robinson (concussion) in Sunday's divisional playoff game against Seattle.||||||| Falcons backup safety Charles Mitchell (calf) also is active.
Abraham returned for Sunday's 30-28 victory over Seattle.||||||| Abraham, the Falcons' top pass rusher, left Atlanta's 22-17 loss to Tampa Bay on Dec. 30 with a left ankle injury.

The New York International Children's Film Festival is back once again this year, running from March 1 through March 24, with a roster full of top-notch animated productions that are not just for children but people of all ages.
This year's roster has two entries sure to be of major interest to anime fans: Studio Ghibli's Up on Poppy Hill and Mamoru Hosoda's Wolf Children.
Up on Poppy Hill, written by Studio Ghibli head Hayao Miyazaki and directed by his son, Goro Miyazaki, is set in 1960s Yokohama, and involves a romance between two high schoolers against the backdrop of Japan's post-WWII recovery and preparation for the 1964 Olympics (a major source of local pride). But a secret buried in both childrens' pasts must be confronted before they can move forward together.
Wolf Children, from the director of The Girl who Leapt Through Time and Summer Wars, involves a woman who mothers two children who turn out to be half-wolves, and takes them to the countryside so that they can grow up away from the scrutiny of an uncomprehending world.
More details about the festival from the website:
"NYICFF was founded in 1997 to promote intelligent, passionate, provocative cinematic works for ages 3-18 and to help define a more compelling film for kids. Since its launch, the event has grown to become the largest festival for children and teens in North America, with an audience of over 25,000 attending the most recent event. Since 2000, all screenings have sold out in advance."
Also screening at the festival is Welcome to the Space Show, which I screened at Otakon 2010, and which still doesn't have formal distribution outside of festival appearances. A gang of kids in the countryside rescue what they think is a dog, but which turns out to be an alien who whisks them away on a whirlwind tour of the universe.
Tickets are on sale now, and it's recommended that you purchase them early, as showings for the NYICFF sell out quickly and consistently!

I quite liked [i]From Up On Poppy Hill[/i]. While I'm a big fan of fantasy films in general, it's nice to see another Ghibli film like this that's a little more grounded, with a focus on the time period and the characters, and sans the fantasy trimmings (although the Latin Quarter seems nearly as fantastical as Howl's castle, and it was certainly lavished with an equal amount of attention and detail by the animators). [i]Whisper of the Heart[/i] is an easy comparison, and while [i]Poppy Hill[/i] may not be quite that good, it's plenty good enough to uphold Ghibli's reputation as the reigning kings of their craft. Yes, the symbolism of the Latin Quarter as a microcosm of Japan's preparation for the Olympics was a little obvious (and the ending, therefore, predictable), and the hitch in the love story was… weird… but those are probably the worst things you could say about it. [i]From Up On Poppy Hill[/i] is definitely one I'll be watching again.

I picked up tickets to see it at the festival myself, so I'll be reporting back about it here. There's very little of anything from Studio Ghibli that has been flat-out disappointing (okay, maybe "Tales of Earthsea").
- February 13, 2013 at 3:51 am(3) Joseph Petek says:
Let's not forget "Ocean Waves"… I think that one qualifies as disappointing (at the very least) if not flat-out bad. And "Only Yesterday" was kinda nowhere… not necessarily bad, just very bland from where I'm sitting.

The Meridian Star
Kodi McKay was at Okatibbee Lake recently with his mother Tammy when he decided to go fishing. The 11-year-old West Lauderdale Elementary student was looking for some fun and in the process may have caught a lake record fish. Mom was cleaning out the camper and the youngster used a little American ingenuity and did something astonishing. Kodi caught a monster bream, maybe even a lake record, without the use of a fishing rod or pole. Yes, you read it right, without a fishing pole.
Kodi decided to go fishing and since he didn't have a rod and reel or pole with him, he did what most country boys do in similar circumstances, he improvised. Kodi found some string, a hook and fashioned a bobber on there and went fishing, hand line style. Kodi was at Cove's Nest Marina when the inspiration hit him to rig up for bream and go fishing.
Since he didn't really have any normal fish bait he had to make do with what he had, a hotdog. McKay took a small piece of hotdog and secured it to the hook and went fishing. It didn't take long before McKay was wrestling with the monster bream. It took a bit of handiwork and elbow grease but Kodi finally subdued the impressive fish and got him on land.
After a lot of celebration Kodi and a friend showed the fish to his mother and she quickly took a photo of the possible lake record bream. Kodi and his friend knew they'd never seen such a huge bream but since they weren't going to clean and eat any on that trip he released him back to grow up!
Kodi's dad Kevin was working that day and wasn't around to witness the event and was astonished to see the photo of the monster bream when he got home. "I was looking at the photos in my wife's camera when I came across this photo and heard the story," said Kevin McKay. "I asked them what they did with the fish and Tammy said they put him back! It was just another fish to her and she believes in putting them back if you're not going to eat them."
Of course this wasn't a big fish as far as fish go, as bass are usually much bigger. But what they didn't know at the time was this was a huge bream, maybe the biggest bream ever caught at Okatibbee Lake. Some of the people estimated him at 3 pounds! And that most likely would've been a lake record!
Can you imagine an 11-year-old elementary student catching the lake record? But he did land the monster fish and did what most people would since he wasn't going to eat it. He released it back to grow up some more! The whole story is astonishing that such a big bream would be caught at Okatibbee but there's more to this story. That potential lake record, that was never weighed, is still alive and well and residing near Cove's Nest Marina at Okatibbee Lake.
Now If I can just find a little time to go fishing I'll see if I can find a bream hook, string and bobber and get a piece of hotdog and go after that monster bream! Who knows, you might just be the one who catches that lake record next time! Kodi McKay caught him once, and might catch him again. But you better hurry out to Okatibbee because I have a hunch there will be some other young anglers fishing for him too!

EPA Energy Star launches Battle of the Buildings
Teams from 245 buildings around the U.S. will compete to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star program launched the 2011 National Building Competition: Battle of the Buildings. Teams from 245 buildings around the country are going head-to-head to improve energy efficiency and determine who can reduce their energy use the most. Nearly 5 million commercial buildings in the United States are responsible for approximately 20% of both the nation's energy use and greenhouse gas emissions at a cost of more than $100 billion annually. Through energy efficiency improvements, competitors are working to save energy, reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions and protect the health of Americans.
"I am excited to see so many companies joining our Battle of the Buildings competition and finding new ways to improve their energy efficiency," EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson said. "We're harnessing our nation's innovative capacity to save money on electric bills, create a cleaner environment, and protect the health of American families."
The competition includes 26 different types of commercial buildings, such as retail stores, schools, hotels, and museums, some of which are more than 100 years old. Competitors will be able to exchange ideas and strategies through various social media applications, including a live Twitter feed and a Facebook forum. Information about all competitors, including photos and facts about each, will be featured on the competition website in addition to tips and links to consumer-friendly information about saving energy where Americans work, play, and learn.
Competitors will measure and track their building's monthly energy consumption using EPA's Energy Star online energy tracking tool, Portfolio Manager. Of the initial 245 competitors, a small group of buildings will be selected as finalists in July. The finalists will be required to submit Statements of Energy Performance (SEPs) on their utility data for the entire competition period, which must be signed and stamped by a professional engineer or licensed architect. Among the finalists, the building with the largest percentage reduction in energy use will be recognized as the winner in November.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

MARBLEHEAD, Mass. - The U.S. Marines are landing here this week to celebrate the spot where 100 years ago their air component was born.
Four Marine helicopters are scheduled to deliver Corps dignitaries for the centennial rememberance on Marblehead Harbor.
"One hundred years of marine avaiation," said organizer Don Humphries, a World War II Marine. "That's kind of a big thing."
According to Marine Corps history, Lt. Alfred Cunningham came to the Starling Burgess aircraft factory here in the summer of 1912 for flying lessons. He departed on Aug. 20 in a Burgess seaplane, launching the Marine air corps.
Cunningham's flight came less than a decade after the Wright Brothers first lifted off the ground in 1903.
Details for this story were provided by the Salem, Mass., News.

Ah, so we have arrived on the topic of the core.
"The core of what?" you ask.
I'm talking about Loyola's core curriculum. You know, those classes that everyone has to take no matter your major. Some people dread it, other people love it. Either way you're gonna have to face it, so why not get something positive out of these new areas of study?
When I first heard about the core, my mom was all "wow you're going to get such a well-rounded education" and I was like "oh yeah totally, I can do this, I can learn everything!" … and then the time came for classes to begin. I was a bit apprehensive once I realized I had to take math, and language, and science — some of the subjects that don't exactly highlight my skill set. But I realized that I had to trust in the system. Loyola would not have let me come here if they didn't have faith in me, and the core really does serve a purpose.
To begin, I'll point out the obvious. For all students, whether you come to Loyola knowing what your intended major is or you are undecided, the core allows you to explore it all. I took some communications courses and found my major, but I came here set on photography and journalism and I am (happily) studying neither of those today and I have the core to thank. I made it through my math and language courses just fine and then I found a passion with sociology. As I was browsing the course catalog trying to choose a social science course I landed on an intro sociology course focused on societies and institutions. That one course led me to sign up for another sociology course the next semester, and the next thing I knew I was declaring a minor when previously I had no intent to minor in anything. The best part was I didn't care how practical this course of study might be, or how it would fit in with everything else; the core allowed me to branch out of what I was comfortable with and learn something new about both myself and the world.
Along the same lines, the core can lead you to take out-of-the-ordinary classes that end up being fun. I bet you never thought you'd say school could be fun. But it really can! For one of my theology requirements I wanted to branch out from what I thought I knew, so I took a class on Judaism. I was blown away with how interesting and fascinating this historic religion was; and to think I could have missed out on this if it weren't for the core.
This is the time when you can take classes that, at first glance, don't seem to outwardly relate to anything. However, I promise you'll be pleasantly surprised. You'll be surprised at how much you didn't know. You'll be surprised at how lucky you were to find a new topic that interests you. You'll be surprised how much you take away from the class and apply it to your main area of study, because you'll be surprised at how everything really is connected.
The core curriculum seems, to many, as just another requirement, an additional step in getting a degree, maybe even a hassle. But it is so much more than that, all you have to do is give it a chance. The foundation of a Loyola education is the core curriculum; it is the broad and truly well-rounded education you will be receiving over the next four years. The core will both challenge and delight you.
Be open to the core. Embrace it.

What is a Walkie Talkie?Our walkie-talkie radios have many uses in many different industries. A walkie-talkie (more formally known as a handheld transceiver) is a hand-held portable, two-way radio transceiver. The first walkie-talkies were developed for military use during World War II, and spread to public safety and eventually commercial and jobsite work after the war. Major characteristics include a half-duplex channel (only one radio transmits at a time, though any number can listen) and a push-to-talk switch that starts transmission. Typical walkie-talkies resemble a telephone handset, possibly slightly larger but still a single unit, with an antenna sticking out of the top. Where a phone's earpiece is only loud enough to be heard by the user, a walkie-talkie's built-in speaker can be heard by the user and those in his immediate vicinity. Hand-held transceivers may be used to communicate between each other, or to vehicle-mounted or base stations
How to Use Walkie Talkies: Two-way radio transceivers have come a long way since they were designed in World War II. Today walkie-talkies are commonly used for professional, recreational and even kids' use. This portable device has many features and is becoming more compact with each new design. Become familiar with some of the features and technology to use your walkie-talkie

The range is not fixed. Different manufacturer offers different transmitting ranges. It can vary according to the features and quality of the walkie-talkie radio. GMRS enabled radios usually offer longer range than the other walkie-talkie radios. These ranges are not static. It will drastically reduce whenever there are some obstacles like buildings or glass made.
People seem to think that in different bands they can get different variety of channels. This idea is not true. All the products are TG-K4AT product. That means they must have got the same qualities in them. These qualities are not the features, but these are the channels. All the PTG-K4AT radios have eight channels. In addition, all these walkie-talkie radios have 38 modules or popularly known as CTCSS 38 codes in them. Many people think these are sub channels, which is not correct. They actually screen out various radio messages when not all the radios are tuned in to same frequency. If you think there are 38x4= 304 channels then, that is wrong. The truth is there are 104 possible combinations you can have in these walkie-talkie radios.
The mobile phone campaign is pretty much known to us all. Everyone knows that it could be dangerous to talk over phone while driving; it can even cause fatal accidents. That is why if the traffic controller sees you talking over the mobile phone while driving the car, they will slap a penalty on you. The amount is quite high too, so that the people stop talking over phone while driving. Even if are talking on a hands free set, still you can be charged. They say that one needs to give full concentration on roads while driving to save his own life and of others.Does that mean one cannot even use a walkie-talkie on road while driving? Well, one can use walkie-talkie on road but not when he is driving his car. It may delay your program a bit, but it also saves you from facing distraction. There can be various distractions if one talks over phone or walkie-talkie. If the conversation is about some serious problem, he will definitely concentrate on that and the concentration will be shifted from road to the said problem. One moment of ignorance and you never know what can happen in that one moment. These are both auditory and mental types of distractions. Human mind is powerful, but it cannot divide the concentration equally on two different things at the same point of time. Everyday there are some or the other road accident news on the paper, and at least a couple of them happened because of the fact that the driver was talking over the phone while driving the car.

SAN DIEGO — She married a fabulously wealthy man decades her elder, and became the first female mayor of San Diego. But when Maureen O'Connor left public life, she spent countless hours seated in front of video-poker machines.
Over a nine-year period, she wagered an estimated $1 billion, including millions from a charity set up by her late husband, who founded Jack in the Box.

Harm Reduction Conference: Day 1
Alan Franciscus
Heather Lusk
The Harm Reduction Conference is one of the most important conferences in the nation because it is the only national conference that focuses on the needs of drug users and this population is at highest risk for HCV. This conference is comprised of many advocates from various groups around all areas of drug use and while the main focus of the conference is not hepatitis C, it does focus on many areas that affect people with HCV. These reports will mostly focus hepatitis, but may include other topics that directly or indirectly affect people living with HCV.
December 01, 2002
Today the National Harm Reduction Conference opened in Seattle, WA with a cast of thousands of harm reduction advocates from around the world.
Allan Clear, Executive Director and Paula Santiago, Conference Organizer, of the Harm Reduction Coalition started the opening session. Clear reminded the audience to take ownership of the conference by being involved and making the conference what they want it to be - by and for harm reductionists. To make this point various harm reduction groups from around the world spoke out on their efforts to advocate for their communities and what harm reduction meant to them.
Keynote Speaker
Dr. Joyceln Elders
The keynote speaker was Dr. Joyceln Elders, former Surgeon General under the Clinton Administration. Dr. Edlers was fired by the then president Clinton about remarks she made about masturbation. Since this time, Dr. Edlers has become a very popular special at various conferences and is considered somewhat of a legend.
Dr. Elders spoke about her term as the surgeon general and commented that the only thing she regretted about being fired was not being able to lift the ban on federal funds to support needle exchange before she left office. In addition she commented that legalizing drugs should be seriously studied because she views drug use and addiction as a public health issue and not a legal or criminal issue.
In 1985 the prison population in the United States was between 200,000-300,000 people. Now we have 2 million prisoners of which 60% are the result of non-violent drug related crimes and Elders commented that better drug treatment should be instituted in prisons. This is particularly important when you consider that high prevalence of HCV in the incarcerated population.
Dr. Elders talked about a variety of topics including harm reduction, HIV, HCV, needle exchange, overdose and drug treatment centers to name a few.
She ended her session with and inspiring series of quotes but the one that moved the audience to a standing ovation was:
There were three hepatitis C workshops today-
Part One -
Part Two –
Part One
Session: Integrating Viral Hepatitis Prevention into Harm Reduction Programs
Tracy Badsgard- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA
Bob Wood, MD – Seattle-King County Dept. of Public Health
Donald Torres – Harm Reduction Coordinator, New Mexico Dept. of Health, Albuquerque, NM
Jessica Guernsey-Camargo, Multnomah County Health Dept, Portland, OR
An estimated 120,000 new hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections occurred in 1998. Approximately 1.2 million Americans are chronically infected with HBV and an estimated three million are chronically infected with HCV. Injection drug users (IDU) are at very high risk of infection with HBV and HCV. Integrating hepatitis prevention services into existing harm reduction programs is an essential step towards prevention and control of these diseases.
The objective of this session was to explore strategies for, share experience and barriers to integrating hepatitis prevention activities, including education, counseling, testing, vaccination, and referral where appropriate, into existing harm reduction to track activities; to explore mechanisms for outreach to high risk populations; to measure the impact of integration on existing services.
Three of the CDC funded Viral Hepatitis Integration Projects (VHIP) were presented as models for effectively integrating viral hepatitis into existing programs.
Content experience in Multnomah County (Portland), OR, New Mexico, and Seattle/King County, WA on integrating hepatitis prevention into existing programs was discussed. Strategies for outreach to high risk populations, integration, evaluation, and tracking of counseling, testing, vaccination, and medical management services, and measurement of the impact of services on existing programs was explored.
Integration into existing programs of activities to prevent and control hepatitis among persons at high risk for multiple infections (HIV, STDs, hepatitis) makes good public health sense. However, limited experience exists as to the feasibility, efficacy, and effectiveness of integrated services.
Successes and Barriers to Integration of Viral Hepatitis into Harm Reduction
The workshop ended with Joanna Buffington from the CDC noting that original VHIP funding ends this year and the CDC will be releasing a call for new proposals in Spring 2003. Unfortunately, there will be no increase in funds available for this grant because of budgetary reallocations to West Nile Virus and bioterrorism.
Session: Accelerated Hepatitis B Virus Immunizations in Young Injectors: A Strategy for Achieving Rapid Serologic Immunity
Presenter: Paula Lum MD MPH , The UFO Study UCSF Campus, San Francisco, CA
Nearly 60% of injection drug users (IDU) under age 30 in San Francisco are at risk of infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV), a vaccine-preventable disease. However, completing the standard six-month schedule of immunizations is often difficult for young IDU.
We conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare serologic immunity achieved by an accelerated versus standard immunization schedule in a cohort of HCV-negative young IDU.
119 HBV-naïve IDU under age 30 were enrolled.
All participants received vaccine reminders from outreach workers and $15 for each 20 mcg dose received. Protective antibodies (anti-HBs > 10 mIU/mL) were measured one month after receipt of the third vaccine dose and again at 12 months. A fourth dose was offered to all accelerated arm participants and to standard arm participants with anti-HBs <100 at 12 months.
The results of this study showed that of the 91 participants who did not move, die, or withdraw from the study, 28/43 (65%) in the standard arm and 41/48 (85%) in the accelerated arm completed their immunization schedules (p=0.02).
Serologic immunity (anti-HBs > 10 mIU/mL) was achieved in 91 percent (20/22) of the standard arm and 79 percent (23/29) of the accelerated arm (p=0.27).
The authors of this study concluded that compared to the standard HBV immunization schedule, an accelerated schedule achieves better completion rates and evokes a comparable seroprotection rate in young HCV-negative IDU.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Norman Deputy Fire Chief Jim Bailey announced that the cause of fire Monday near 48th Avenue Northeast and Tecumseh Road has been determined.
"The homeowner of the property that burned up was cutting pipe in front (of the house) with a circular saw, which shot sparks and caught the grass on fire, causing the structure fire," Bailey said Tuesday.
The home, located between 48th and 60th avenues, north of Alameda Street and south of Robinson Street, was unoccupied and no one was living there, Bailey said.
The fire, which was originally called in as a grass fire around 3 p.m. Monday, was contained within the hour. No injuries were reported.
Bailey said the home sat in a wooded area with lots of cedar trees and grass. A second structure was located near the home that burned, but it was not damaged, he said.
The blaze scorched about six acres of land. Current weather conditions are making it a dangerous time of year for fires, Bailey said.
Four Norman Fire Department stations responded to the blaze, with mutual aid from Little Axe and Slaughterville.

No horsemeat in Whipps Cross Hospital meals, confirms Barts Health NHS Trust
4:03pm Wednesday 20th February 2013 in News By Joe Curtis, Senior reporter
A trust has confirmed no horsemeat is contained in meals for hospital patients.
Barts Health NHS Trust, which manages Whipps Cross Hospital in Leytonstone, has said that food given to patients there has tested negative for the meat.
A spokeswoman for the health trust said: "Barts Health NHS Trust have been assured by their food suppliers for Whipps Cross University Hospital, that the food products they provide have been tested and no traces of horse meat have been found."
The announcement comes a day after Waltham Forest Council insisted no horsemeat was contained in children's school meals, despite not having carried out tests on food suppliers for Waltham Forest Catering.
High street supermarkets including Tesco, The Co-operative, Aldi , Asda and Lidl were recently forced to withdraw products found to contain horsemeat from their shelves.
Findus lasagne dishes were dropped from Tesco's line of goods after its French supplier, Comigel, raised concerns about the type of meat used in it.
Another French supplier, Spanghero, has been accused of passing off horsemeat in meals labelled as beef, but has had its production licence partially restored.

A 51-year-old Greenwich resident was sentenced Thursday to serve 12 months and one day in prison, following his conviction for possessing machine guns.
Thomas Belluci of Cutler Road, Greenwich, was sentenced Jan. 3 by United States District Judge Janet Bond Arterton in New Haven. After he completes his jail term, Belluci was ordered to serve two months of home confinement immediately after his release from prison, perform 100 hours of community service, pay a $6,000 fine, all to be followed by three years of supervised release, for possessing unregistered machine guns, according to a statement issued by David B. Fein, United States Attorney for Connecticut.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on Aug. 22, 2011, Greenwich Police officers encountered Belluci at his residence on Cutler Road in Greenwich after a neighbor had reported that shots had been fired on Belluci's property.
Here is the US Attorney's account of the incident:
Belluci, who was alone in the house, initially stated that he did not hear any gunshots and he allowed officers to enter his home. Belluci then showed officers only one side of the house, claimed that the living room encompassed the entire house and that there was no second floor to the house. After Belluci led the officers through a door, which he at first stated was to a closet but, in fact, led to a hallway that opened into other rooms, Belluci ran into a room and locked the door. Two officers then forced opened the door and spotted Belluci bent over several long gun cases that were on the floor.
When the officers asked Belluci if he had fired a weapon earlier, he admitted that he had fired a handgun out of his kitchen window. However, he would not tell the officers where the firearm was. The officers then attempted to restrain Belluci, but he resisted, struggled with one officer and was tased by the other. Belluci was placed into an ambulance and was taken to the hospital.
A subsequent search of Belluci 's home revealed more than 160 firearms, including 10 machine guns, at least eight of which were operational and fired multiple rounds with a single squeeze of the trigger. Officers seized the firearms, as well as thousands of rounds of ammunition and other accessories.
None of the machine guns were registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.
Belluci was arrested on federal charges on May 11, 2012, and was held until his release on a $500,000 surety bond on July 30, 2012. On Oct. 9, 2012, he pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful possession of a machine gun.
He has been ordered to report to prison on Feb. 14, 2013. The case was investigated by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Greenwich Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Rahul Kale.

Comfortable and stylish
gerald becker
Great shoes!
most comfortable shoes I've ever had I have 3 pairs
Las que tengo son rojas y son una pasada, las alpargatas más cómodas que he comprado, no pesan nada, no dan calor, no aprietan, sin rozaduras, perfectas para el verano, seguro que me compro otras en otro color.
I had been waiting on these to come out so I was very pleased to get a pair. They are comfortable and I've had a few compliments on them. The material seems good but I still question if they'll stand the test of time.
Great shoe. One of the nices shoes ive worn. I own two pairs of these now and both are awesome.
BUT - if your on the edge of shoe sizes make sure you go up a half size, as im normally a 10 or 10.5 and i definatly needed a 10.5. That said, these shoes do mold to your feet after a couple of uses so a normal size could be fine if you like a snug fit.
Elizabeth C Weekley
Super comfy shoes. I felt like they ran a little big, but these are the ultimate summer kicks!
