Typical City
When Denis Law back-heeled an unspectacular goal into the net at the Scoreboard End at the then unreconstructed Old Trafford on April 27, 1974, a young boy's love affair with football began in earnest. The ball barely trickled over the line. It wasn't a 30-yard humdinger or a cheeky overhead kick. It hardly reached the netting at the back of the goal, but it had a beauty and a symmetry that was utterly beguiling. It seemed like the perpetrator of the act and his accomplices had arrived from another dimension.
And the drama it created had me completely transfixed.
Onto the pitch ran hundreds of young men with wildly flared trousers, tanktops, feather-cut shoulder length hair, Doc Martens and red and white scarves tied around their wrists. It was like the Day of the Triffids only they were moving much faster. This then was the penultimate day of the 1973-74 season (Manchester United still had an away game at Stoke's Victoria Ground to negotiate) with the Reds attempting to avoid relegation to a second division containing Oxford United and Carlisle. After 80 minutes of frenetic and largely unwholesome football, Colin Bell broke forward across the rutted turf and played in Francis Lee, whose reverse ball into the box found former United legend Denis Law with his back to goal. A simple swing of the leg as the ball arrived sent the ball skidding gently past the hapless Alex Stepney and into the goal. Out of lethargic sun-drenched boredom had come a lightning bolt of the largest and loudest proportions.
"Denis has done it!" shrieked Gerald Sindstadt on Granada TV, the words embedded into the subconscious of every City fan.
Law I seem to remember was almost immediately substituted - both for his own safety and his peace of mind - and never kicked a ball in anger in the Football League again. The Bay City Rollers Mob on the pitch were doing their level best to force an abandonment of this crucial game. United were heading down the pan. Despite the quite wonderful anarchy, the result stood. Manchester United were in the second division. People often love to write that City relegated the reds that afternoon at Old Trafford, but results elsewhere had a bearing on the outcome too. Alas, City alone cannot take full responsibility for what turned out to be a kind of mercy killing of Manchester United.
Whilst Law - a hangdog expression playing across his features whilst the staunch City-ites Colin Bell and Mike Doyle slapped his chops and ruffled his hair - would never play for the Blues or anyone else again (bar a limp showing for Scotland at that summer's World Cup finals in West Germany), United spent a single season caning the living daylights out of Oxford and Carlisle, before returning to the First Division the next season emboldened and rejuvenated under Tommy Docherty.
This was so absurd as to be quite unnervingly beautiful to a spotty eight year old. My new Blue heroes had sent the red menace packing, only for it to return twice as strong a year later. What marvellous irony. What delicious bad luck. I was instantly and hopelessly in love.
City's relationship with United has continued very much along those lines for the thirty-odd years I have followed them. Every minor success trumped in an instant. A league title in '68? United won a tear-drenched, emotion charged European Cup days later. 5-1 slaughter in '89? A horrible Andrei Kanchelskis-inspired 5-0 drubbing soon followed at Old Trafford.
Since that historic back-heel, United haven't given Blues followers too many opportunities to feel giddy. Mostly just bitter. I still occasionally wake up in a terrible lather after yet another dream sequence featuring the afore-mentioned Kanchelskis skinning poor one-paced David Brightwell yet again. I try to balance all this damp hysteria with thoughts of Brightwell's brother Ian "just wellying it", of David Cross, Dennis Tueart and Kevin Reeves all nodding in at the Scoreboard End, of Michael Robinson scoring a "goal to grace any derby match", of Keith Curle returning from the penalty spot with a City fan draped around his neck, of little Shaun Wright-Philips and his wobbly arm celebration, of Shaun Goater and Benjani, of Uwe Rosler and Trevor Sinclair. They have all put the ball in the United net over the years, a moment that produces a bigger high for City fans than any other in the league programme could ever manage.
And so it is in 2013. City, title holders, go to Old Trafford with United closing in on "their" trophy. We have had our fun. Now they want it back. This is just typical isn't it? Well, in a way, it is typical. Typical City means these sorts of things happening time and again over a period of 35 years. It means taking bitter blows, being embarrassed, trying not to cry in public. But Typical City also has another, delicious, mischievous side. The one that allows the Blues to head to Old Trafford on the Munich Anniversary as overwhelming underdogs and come away with a 2-1 win (the first, in 2008, since Denis struck his farewell shot all those long years ago). It allows City to go to Old Trafford under all the pressure in the world to reveal their new much vaunted status is not a big, heavily priced joke, and come away with a 6-1 win that shook the football world. Typical City is what binds us all together, for we know not when or how it will strike next, but be assured it will strike again just when it is least expected.

11-Acre Parcel of Land is Part of $153 Million Restoration of Contaminated Baltimore Waterfront
BALTIMORE, MD (October 24, 2012) – Planting wetland grasses alongside fourth-grade school students, Lt. Governor Anthony G. Brown, along with community leaders, and federal, state and local officials, officially opened the Masonville Cove nature area in Baltimore. The nature area is the newest improvement to a $153 million environmental restoration project that is transforming one of Baltimore Harbor's most contaminated sites into an area that will benefit wildlife, local residents and the port industry.
"The Masonville Cove environmental restoration project is one of Maryland's greatest environmental success stories," said Lt. Governor Brown. "Until a few years ago, this was one of Baltimore's most contaminated areas with tens of thousands of tons of trash and debris dating back decades. Today, with an environmental education center and now a beautiful nature area, it has been transformed into a site to learn about and enjoy the environment. This project is a great example of the Administration's Smart, Green and Growing Initiative."
The Maryland: Smart, Green & Growing initiative is a multi-agency, Statewide initiative to help Maryland achieve a more sustainable future by linking community revitalization, transportation improvements, economic development, smart growth and environmental restoration efforts. The Masonville Cove Environmental Education Center brings together many of the goals of this key initiative into one project.
"Masonville Cove is a terrific, innovative project that advances economic and environmental interests," said Congressman John Sarbanes, who wrote the No Child Left Inside Act, which bolsters outdoor environmental education in America's schools. "We are transforming one of the city's most contaminated sites to an outdoor attraction where families can learn about and interact with their environment – all the while advancing the viability of the Port of Baltimore."
"The Port of Baltimore must be dredged if we want it to continue to generate jobs in the global marketplace," said Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger, who has secured federal funding to support safe dredge disposal. "Dredged material must be disposed of in a way that has the least impact on the environment – but this project goes above and beyond, using it to actually enhance the environment. The public will now be able to use this beautiful nature center to exercise, fish, bird-watch and boat while supporting Maryland jobs."
"The cleaning and restoration of Masonville Cove has created a new attraction for the people of Baltimore – especially the residents of Brooklyn and Curtis Bay," said Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.
"We are grateful for the support of the Governor and Lt. Governor to create a new park for the city. It is another natural treasure that can connect residents with outdoors while still being in a great American city."
The nature area is an 11-acre parcel of land that has seen the removal of invasive plants, unhealthy trees, and dangerous and hazardous debris. It is now capped with clean soil and is being replanted with native trees, shrubs, and wetland plants. Allowing for passive recreational use, the nature area includes walking trails, fishing from a designated pier, and bird- watching. A non-motorized boat ramp is also available for kayaks and canoes. This project is the first of a three-phase project that will see about 41 additional acres of land restored and made available to the public over the next few years. It is free and open to the public.
The nature area is the second key element of this overall restoration project. Since 2009, an environmental education center located adjacent to the nature area has welcomed thousands of grade school students for hands-on environmental learning. The Living Classrooms Foundation, National Aquarium Baltimore, and Brooklyn-Curtis Bay Coalition, known as BayBrook, develop and run the education programs for the center. The center itself is a "near-zero, net-energy" building, with green features such as a ground-source air conditioning system that uses half the energy of a conventional building; solar energy; rain barrels that collect roof rain runoff to water greenery and flowers; a reflective roof that decreases the amount of heat transferred into the building; and an energy recovery ventilator where exhaust air is used to heat or cool fresh air using a heat exchanger, making ventilation more efficient.
"The Maryland Port Administration, the Living Classrooms Foundation, the National Aquarium and the residents of the neighborhoods near Masonville Cove should all be commended for the hard work that transformed a former dumping ground into an environmental education and nature center at Masonville Cove," said Robert M. Summers, Secretary of the Maryland Department of the Environment. "MDE is proud to have overseen a cleanup that successfully addressed contamination from decades of industry and dumping to create a safe gateway to the water and the natural world. For our efforts to protect and restore our waters to succeed, it is critical that our citizens -- and particularly our youngsters -- have opportunities to enjoy and appreciate the value of nature and our environment."
"The Masonville Cove revitalization project is an excellent example of how our city can turn challenges into opportunities," said State Senator Bill Ferguson (D-46). "From a formerly contaminated industrial zone, we will now have a thriving space for families to enjoy the wonders of our ecosystem."
"The Masonville Cove project is a model for any port in the nation considering beneficial use of dredged material," said State Delegate Brian McHale (D-46). "The Port Administration consistently assured the local communities from the beginning that their requests would be considered and honored if possible. Masonville Cove is a win-win-win for the port, the community, and schoolchildren throughout the region."
The restoration project sits on the site of the former home of Kurt Iron and Metal and the Maryland Shipbuilding and Drydock Company. Both companies conducted maritime salvage and ship-breaking operations contributing to the environmental degradation of the waterfront and surrounding area. In 2007, the Maryland Port Administration (MPA), in identifying this site as a future location of a new dredge material containment facility, began a massive cleanup effort of this site. More than 61,000 tons of trash and debris were removed. Some of the debris was believed to have dated back to the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904. The clean-up included the removal of:
o 306,074 gallons of petroleum-tainted water;
o 17,398 tons of timber;
o 6,588 tons of concrete rubble;
o 5,265 feet of electrical wire; and
o 4,047 pounds of PCB-containing electrical equipment.
Besides trash, there were also 27 abandoned vessels that needed to be remediated or removed from the water at the site.
"Living Classrooms is tremendously excited to be the primary partner for operating the Masonville Cove environmental education campus," said Living Classrooms Foundation President James Piper Bond. "With access to the nature conservation area, our programs for the community will take on a whole new dimension. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the MPA, the National Aquarium, and BayBrook to create new opportunities for community participation."
"Restoring Baltimore Harbor is one of the National Aquarium's top priorities," said John Racanelli, National Aquarium CEO. "We continue to lead conservation and education efforts throughout Baltimore and the state of Maryland and we're proud to be a partner of the Masonville Cove restoration project."
The MPA has worked on this project from the beginning with BayBrook. One of the BayBrook's top priorities in becoming involved with the project was to provide their residents with easy access to enjoy the Patapsco River.
"The Brooklyn and Curtis Bay Coalition expresses its sincere appreciation to the Maryland Port Administration for its foresight and support of this nationally unique learning and teaching facility," said BayBrook Executive Director Rob Catlin. "By connecting this rehabilitated land, Middle Branch waterfront, and environmental center with the Masonville Dredged Material Containment Facility, the MPA has enabled hundreds of local students from Brooklyn and Curtis Bay to become environmentally sensitive to their local surroundings, aware of the vital impact and importance of the Port of Baltimore and open to new areas of interest and possible future careers."
The Masonville location also provided a much-needed dredged material containment location for accepting material from Baltimore Harbor. Shipping channels leading to the Port of Baltimore need to continuously be dredged in order to accommodate the massive shipping vessels that bring cargo and generate thousands of jobs at the port. With the closing in 2009 of Hart-Miller Island, the only other dredging site that can accept material from Baltimore Harbor is the Cox Creek containment site in Anne Arundel County. Maryland Environmental Service (MES) manages the entire Masonville site for the MPA.
"It is rare to work on a project that goes as fast and smoothly as the Masonville project," said MES Director Jim Harkins. "That success is due to a great partnership with the Port of Baltimore and the community. Together, the Masonville partners have turned an unattractive, inaccessible site into a beautiful place for kids and families to relax and learn about the environment. Maryland Environmental Service is very proud to be a part of this effort. Through our work at Masonville, we've also enjoyed working with the young people of the Chesapeake Center for Youth Development. Six of them are now employees at Maryland Environmental Service. Masonville is a win for the economy, for the environment, and for our agency."
The Masonville restoration project has received national and local awards over the past several years, including a 2007 Mayor's Business Recognition award given by the Greater Baltimore Committee to organizations that have demonstrated outstanding community service and significantly improved the City of Baltimore.

Fargo getting head start on sandbag and clay levee transportationFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - The flood fight was scheduled to kick into high gear tomorrow, but a lot of Fargo neighborhoods saw action today.
By: Becky Parker, WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - The flood fight was scheduled to kick into high gear tomorrow, but a lot of Fargo neighborhoods saw action today.
City officials say there are so many signs and barricades to put up, they got a head start.
These signs are going to start looking very familiar. More than 15 blocks are already closed off to make room for trucks hauling sandbags and clay levee materials.
Trucks are already hauling clay, closing the roads makes this process safer and quicker. But for residents along those roads it's the same thing year after year.
In this neighborhood just off of University drive, people are getting used to finding alternate routes home.
Aaron Yaggie, Fargo Resident: "It's kind of a pain because everyone has to drive through Broadway now, instead of being able to take University all the way down."
Aaron Yaggie lives on the very edge of this neighborhood with his brother. He says while it is kind of a hassle, they're willing to deal with it.
Yaggie: "It might add an extra five, ten minutes to your drive. But I mean it works out if it's what's best for the city."
Seven more blocks will be closed off starting at 8:30 on Monday morning. And for those who live near the river, start looking for parking restrictions that are also going into effect.
Authorities want to remind drivers when the clay spills onto roads, it becomes extremely slick.
Things get cranked up another notch tomorrow and that action continues throughout the week. Here's a look at what you can expect.
Things will get started Monday with crews filling trap bags in south Fargo. Also roads will be closing and parking restrictions enforced as they prepare for sandbag deployment.
And those sandbags get delivered starting Tuesday. And that's when you'll see those semis and police escorts heading through town.
This is a three day project starting on the North side of town on Tuesday. Wednesday will be the central part of Fargo and Thursday the south side.
It's then Thursday and Friday next week when high school students will be working in neighborhoods to place those bags.
That will likely be a two day process, but those students could come back the following Monday or Tuesday if need be.

I have been working at Napa Valley College
Pros – It is a small campus, generally attractive other than the new construction. Small departments mean you get to know other faculty members well. Programs are apparently well run, and the politics of the academy are not as vicious as other colleges where I have taught.
Cons – Adjunct are second-class citizens. Benefits are limited, and do NOT ask about them to senior management.
Advice to Senior Management – You have 100 FT instructors and 200 PT instructors; recognize that you cannot exist without the strength, experience, and enthusiasm of PT faculty by treating them with respect, better pay, and improved employment opportunities. Establish seniority among the adjunct faculty to reward the loyalty many of them show the college. Do not tout claims of growth in FT hires when you fail to mention they were offset by retirements.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Napa Valley College part-time for more than 3 years

Reed was unfazed by a two-goal deficit at halftime. The Raiders rallied to force a 2-2 deadlock and earned a tie by the same score in a crossover league affair. The match marked just the second time this fall Carson (9-0-2) had failed to post a win.
The tie allowed Reed (5-4-2) to snap out of a recent tailspin that included a three-game losing skid.
"We talked after the loss Tuesday at Reno that this was about character, not soccer," Reed coach Jason Saville said. "To come back from down to goals against a great team like Carson, we found out today what the character of this team is."
Carson sophomore Karla Reyes tallied the first goal of the match when she took a pass from Senators teammate Emmy Heller and drilled a shot into the Reed net at the 15-minute mark.
The Senators wasted no time extending their edge. Just a minute later, senior Michelle Sandage scored an unassisted goal for Carson and the guests had a 2-0 advantage.
From there, the Reed defense settled back in and stopped the bleeding, leaving the scoreboard to read 2-0 at halftime.
"We were pressing and dominating in the first half and then they got a goal. That kind of rattled us and they got another one," Saville said. "We got into halftime and settled in. It was disappointing to be playing the way we were and still be down two goals."
The Reed offense came to life in the second half. It didn't take long after the intermission for the Raiders to cut into Carson's lead. In the 44th minute, Reed's Kennady Whitehead beat the Senators defense for an unassisted goal and the score was 2-1.
It looked like Carson might still get away with the win. Neither team scored for the next 20-plus minutes, but Reed wasn't about to leave with a loss. In the 68th minute, Reed was awarded a penalty kick and Whitehead cashed in, burying the freebie in the Senators' net and knotting score at two goals apiece.
"We didn't play our game," Carson coach Greg Lehman said. "We didn't step up. We let this get away from us ... We were up 2-0, but Reed did what it had to do to get the tie. When you're up two goals, it would've been nice to get the win; so yes a tie is frustrating.
"We got a little sloppy. We just weren't as intense. We knew how good Reed was, but we didn't have our 'A' game. And if you don't bring that, anyone can play with you."
Reed, which was also playing without two key players -- all-league candidates Vanessa Arzaluz and Katelynn Raatz, nearly stole a win. In the 78th minute, Reed's Kendra Bujnovsky sent a high-arcing corner kick into the middle of the Carson defensive box, but no Raiders could control the cross and get off a clean shot.
Shortly thereafter, in stoppage time, Reed freshman Lindsay Marsh corralled a loose ball in the Carson box and got a clean look at the Senators' net but she sent a shot just inches wide, keeping the tie intact.
"In the end, we were patient and looking to connect passes instead of just banging balls. We went after 50-50 balls. In our recent losses, we had been getting beat on 50-50 balls. Those hurt us. Today we showed the hunger and desire of a team that can use this as a springboard to right our ship.
"It's not about the first three games or the middle three games. It's about the last three games," Saville said. "It's nice to be undefeated but you have to peak at the right time. I want us to keep getting better and peak in the playoffs."
Reed is in action again Tuesday when it hosts Hug at 7 p.m.

The district will hire contractors in the coming weeks to improve conditions in Information Technology server rooms throughout the district – including in Montrose High School, where poor ventilation keeps temperatures too high for suitable maintenance of sophisticated computer equipment.
For Steve McEwin, the district's new director of technology, these basic improvements – and Wi-Fi infrastructure – are just the start of building a solid foundation for a digital future for the Montrose schools' students and teachers.
"Without a foundation, you're just wasting your money," he said.
Other basic infrastructure this year will include, Wi-Fi, upgrades to the district's server fleet, board-band services, IT ventilation, back-up equipment solutions and better email.
McEwin, 41, previously worked in schools in Texas where he recently completed a five-year plan to integrate more technology into the curriculum. By the time he left, he said, each one of his mostly junior high students had at least one mobile device to use in the classroom.
McEwin, who came onboard with the Montrose School District in July, recently delivered his technology assessment and recommendations to the board, reporting the district is on the right path by developing digital curriculums and investing in technology, but more needs to be done.
McEwin has traveled nationwide for the past seven years, advising and consulting school districts about implementing more technology in their curriculums.
"I think Montrose is about average," McEwin told The Watch Tuesday, in comparison with other school districts. But, he added, "There are a lot of good things already happening, and with that, Montrose is ahead of the game."
Laying down the framework for a future where digital technology is as common as are today's pencils and notebooks is a premise McEwin is working to develop as he nears completion of his final presentation and cost analysis for presentation to the school community in the new year.
"Enable, Engage and Educate" are the three core principles, he said, in bringing 21st century learning technology to each district student and teacher, and the way to achieve that is through budget increases for technology and capital improvements. A five-to-seven-year plan costing approximately $3 million would transition Montrose District schools into about a 90 percent digital format, with each student having one digital device, he said, with the other
10 percent a mixture of new staff development and a rotation of devices, maintenance and infrastructure improvements. McEwin said weeklong training sessions would needed to get staff up to speed with the new technology.
Uno Books, iPads, iPod Touches, Dell and HP Windows-based laptops are all being considered, McEwin said; the district can utilize recycling programs as well, to refurbish existing technology. Delaying technology investment could drive the costs even higher, he warned, but the "ultimate goal" is to have students learning with mobile devices in school and at home. For example, schools in Orange County, Calif., that began investing eight years ago are now completely digital.
"That's a pretty big shift for us," said District Superintendent Mark MacHale, at the meeting.
At Columbine Middle School, about 100 seventh-grade students are using the first digital mobile devices ever used in Montrose County schools. If the district does implement a five-to-seven-year plan, those students would graduate from its high schools using laptops to complete reports and homework.
"Rather than doing their book reports on poster-board, it may be done in iMovie, or some other video editing software," McEwin said.
At a board meeting in September, several Columbine students told members learning with the new iPads was more fun.
"I like that when you have a question, instead of going to ask the teacher, you can look it up on your iPad.
"It saves time, and it makes learning better," said seventh-grader Lilian Davis.
McEwin, who is currently compelling his doctorate degree in Education Leadership Management from Capella University, has relocated to Montrose with his wife, Tina.

If there was a zero star option
This would get it. Is that gloop supposed to be meat from an actual animal??? A tin of tomatoes, a splash of wine, oregano and basil and you have yourself a much more nutritious, far less suspicious, cheaper pasta sauce base of far better quality than this thing. What was I thinking!!!
17 October 2013
Never again
This was the worst bolognaise sauce I have every eaten. It consisted of a few gritty bits of meat swimming in a very greasy sauce - nauseating. By the way, one star is far too much.
11 October 2013
So So
The sauce had a nice flavor but hardly any meat in the sauce apart from the occasional chunk.
02 October 2013
Has it changed?
The sauce is the same flavour, but the meat seems to be a bit chunkier now? Preferred when it was more like ragu, but it still tastes great.

When you look at the picture of these curtains you think, "Those are pretty nice curtains". Then, you look down at the two (now three) reviews and think, "Well, ok, other people seem to have a pretty high opinion of these curtains. These curtains must be a pretty good bargain". Wrong and wrong, these are the cheapest made curtains I have seen outside of the $5 bin at xxxx check out. They are completely sheer despite the claim they are "lined". The sunlight in a window facing North, at 5 PM during Winter, completely penetrates through the curtains revealing the ratty crosshatching of the material. They are simply poorly made curtains with awful stitching to boot. Unless you are under perpetual effect of psychedelic agents, you will quickly notice the color contrast "lines" that run horizontal on the curtains are actually running in a downward angle. So, do YOU want some cheaply made, crooked, and unsightly curtains hanging up in your house? If so, buy these immediately. If you want to totally disappoint someone with a gift, buy these curtains. If you want to add a fashionable and quality window accent to your home, DO NOT BUY THESE CURTAINS.
Gave us an instant more sophisticated look to our two rooms. They are lined enough to help keep out some of the cold and sun but still give a see through effect in the daylight. Love the black and silver together, very classy.
Wonderful drapes and match my decor perfectly. Drapes are lined and prevents drafts from windows. The price was good and I am delighted with my purchase. I have been searching for silver drapes for a long time....for some reason this color is hard to find.
I bought the Brown/Merlot drapes. They are light weight faux satin and hang beautifully. After taking them out of the package, I chose not to press them. All I did was put them in the clothes dryer for 20 mins. on the "Steam Fresh" setting, took them out immediately and hung them on the window. Perfect!! I also found the matching valance on Overstock.com. Wish there was a link on the drapery page.
I originally bought these for an office in my clinic but when I received them I put them in a conference room instead. I have had many compliments from both collegues and patients, They are very rich looking and no one would ever think they were so reasonable.
Very nice PAIR (not one panel like some stores sell) of curtains. Lined and hung nicely w/o ironing. My only complaint was the outer mailing packaging which was a little scary. It was somewhat ripped and torn and I feared for the contents. But the curtains were packaged in another package inside and were fine. Overstock needs to package these curtains for shipment better.
Good quality curtains, but not exactly luxury. There are a few loose stitches in the squares. Hang very well and excellent at blocking out light/ glare from our picture window. Works well for a quick window treatment.
My windows is about 100. Across so I advise u to get 4 panels Perfect for what I was looking for
These fit into my new home perfectly with my decor. I had vertical blinds which I hated. These curtains immediately added warmth to the room. The quality is good for the price. Yes, they are lined, but its not a heavy lining and allows some sunshine to show thru, which is fine with me. They are in my living room, so the light in the am is perfect. Love it!
This curtain is beautiful, I only wish it was a bit thicker as it allows a lot of light through. I'll have to look into sewing a second piece of material on the back and double layering it. Matches our bed set nicely.

On June 28, 1776 Fort Moultrie, on the island's south-western shore, withstood British bombardment. Edgar Allen Poe was stationed here from 1827 to 1828, and the island was the setting of his short story The Gold Bug. The Sullivan's Island lighthouse was built in 1962. The 140-foot-tall building boasts an elevator instead of the typical spiral staircase.

Polar ice sheet melt largest source of sea level rise
Melting ice sheets from Greenland and Antarctica has long been tied to rising sea levels. But these two sources are outpacing all others — including mountain glaciers and ice caps — t0 become the dominant feature in raising the seas, according to a new study slated for publication this month in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Part of the reason for the significance of these polar ice sheets is that the rate of melt is accelerating. Researchers at the University of California,... [Read more]

MARQUETTE - As a lifelong resident of Marquette and a nearly 30-year veteran of its school system, Marquette Area Public Schools Superintendent Deb Veiht said she believes she'll be a good fit as the top administrator for the Marquette-Alger Regional Education Services Agency.
"I love K-12 education," Veiht told the MARESA board during an interview Monday evening. "I want to be where there's children and I can affect change."
Veiht - along with MARESA Associate Superintendent of Finance, Information Systems and Quality Assurance Services Robert Nardi and Alcona Community Schools Superintendent Shawn Thornton - was one of three finalists chosen by MARESA's board to fill the position that will be vacated June 30 by retiring MARESA Superintendent Steve Peffers.
Article Photos
The board asked a variety of questions about her educational background, how she would get MARESA's operations in the public eye more than they currently are and the agency's budget, a large percentage of which is comprised of grant money.
During her interview, Veiht stressed the importance of collaboration among all 13 local districts in MARESA's jurisdiction, as well as collaboration among MARESA staff.
She said her vision for MARESA would be to start anticipating the needs of the local districts, rather than trying to provide services they need after the fact.
"As resources get scarcer and people are being cautious to how they're spending their money or accessing resources, we need to be that group piece that they all come to," Veiht said. "That's how I see the vision."
Veiht also stressed her history in grant writing, citing two $1 million grants she helped bring to MAPS.
The next two candidates will be interviewed today, Nardi at 7 p.m. and Thornton at 8:30 p.m. Both interviews will be in Conference Room C of the MARESA building at 321 E. Ohio St. in Marquette.
