Tough Time for Bees
He sounded the alarm.
"We need 1.6 million colonies, or two colonies per acre, and California has only about 500,000 colonies that can be used for that purpose," said Mussen in a news release we posted Feb. 8 on the Department of Entomology website. "We need to bring in a million more colonies but due to the winter losses, we may not have enough bees."
Those winter losses--still being tabulated--and the resulting fewer bees per hive could spell trouble for almond growers, he said.
He said 2012 was a bad year for bee nutrition.
"Last year was not a good year for honey production in the United States," Mussen said, "and it could be one of the worst honey production years in the history of nation, although it's been pretty rough in some of the previous years. Usually when we're short of nectar, we're short on pollen, and honey bees need both. So, 2012 was a bad year for bee nutrition."
The winter of 2012-2013, in general, was bad for bees. In fact, it's never been good since the winter of 2006 with the onset of colony collapse disorder, a mysterious malady characterized by adult bees abandoning the hive, leaving behind the queen bee, brood and food stores.
Bee scientists think CCD is caused by a multitude of factors, includes, pests, pesticides, parasites, diseases, malnutrition and stress. On the average, beekeepers report they're losing one-third of their bees a year.
"We don't know how many more bees will be lost over the winter," Mussen told us on Feb. 8. "We consider the winter ending when the weather warms up and the pollen is being brought into the hives."
"Many, many colonies are not going to make it through the winter. We won't have as large a bee population as in the past."
Mussen, a member of the UC Davis Department of Entomology since 1976, knows honey bees. He is a honey bee guru, a global expert on bees. "Have a question about bees? Ask Eric Mussen." This month, especially, he is in great demand as a news source.
The New York Times quoted Mussen in its March 28th article, "Mystery Malady Kills More Bees, Heightening Worry on Farms."
Eric Mussen, an apiculturist at the University of California, Davis, said analysts had documented about 150 chemical residues in pollen and wax gathered from beehives.
"Where do you start?" Dr. Mussen said. "When you have all these chemicals at a sublethal leel how do they react with each other? What are the consequences?"
Experts say nobody knows.
Meanwhile, Mussen spent much of the day today granting news media interviews. On Tuesday, April 2, it will be for Dan Rather Reports: Buzzkill.
It was not so long ago that honey bees drew little attention, despite the fact that they pollinate about one-third of the food we eat. A three-letter acronym, CCD, changed all that.
Rich Schubert, a beekeeper in the Winters/Vacaville area, said it best during a question-and-answer session at Mussen's UC Davis Distinguished Seminar on Oct. 9, 2007.
If 5600 dead cows were found in a pasture, instead of 5600 dead bees, people would start paying attention, Schubert told the crowd.
So true. And now they are.

Why Organic Farmers Love Hover Flies
"If you were an aphid on a head of lettuce, a hoverfly larva would be a nightmare. They are voracious eaters of aphids. One larva per plant will control the aphids."
That's what organic researcher Eric Brennan of the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), U.S. Department of Agriculture, told reporter Jim Robbins in a recently published New York Times article.
Headlined "Farmers Find Organic Arsenal to Wage Wars on Pests," the news story drew attention to why natural enemies are "key to the organic approach."
Brennan is based in Salinas Valley, known as "The Salad Bowl of America." It's reportedly where 80 percent of Americans get their greens.
And it's where the lettuce aphid gets its lettuce.
To help resolve the problem, organic farmers are planting alyssum in their lettuce beds. Hover flies "live in the alyssum and need a source of aphids to feed their young, so they lay their eggs in the lettuce," Robbins wrote. "When they hatch, the larvae start preying on the aphids."
Could be that the "salad days" are over for the aphids--thanks to Brennan, alyssum and hover flies.

Yes, Indeed, Let's Hear It for the Bees
Great article in the Tuesday, April 28 edition of The New York Times on "Let's Hear It for the Bees."
And did I mention that the photo accompanying the article is one I shot last year on a Yolo County farm tour? The bee is nectaring a button willow (Cephalanthus occidentalis).
In The Times' article, Leon Kreitzman writes about the rhythmic opening and closing of blossoms. "Flowers of a given species all produce nectar at about the same time each day, as this increases the chances of cross-pollination. The trick works because pollinators, which in most cases means the honeybee, concentrate foraging on a particular species into a narrow time-window. In effect the honeybee has a daily diary that can include as many as nine appointments--say 10:00 a.m., lilac; 11:30 a.m., peonies; and so on. The bees' time-keeping is accurate to about 20 minutes."
That's fascinating stuff. Kreitzman is so right when he calls honey bees "nature's little treasures." He points out that "They are a centimeter or so long, their brains are tiny, and a small set of simple rules can explain the sophisticated social behavior that produces the coordinated activity of a hive. They live by sets of instructions that are familiar to computer programmers as subroutines--do this until the stop code, then into the next subroutine, and so on."
Kreitzman's new book on seasonal rhythms will be published in May. He earlier penned Rhythms of Life with neuroscientist Russell Foster of Oxford.
If we all paid more attention to the honey bees, we'd appreciate all the work they do and maybe we'd try to protect them more.
Yes, let's hear it for the bees!

War on Dengue Fever
UC Davis medical entomologist Thomas Scott is mentioned in "The War on Dengue Fever," a news article published Nov. 3, 2008 in the New York Times.
Scott is a leading expert on dengue fever, a mosquito-borne disease transmitted by Aeges egypti.
Reporter Thomas Fuller began his story:
BANGKOK — There was little that doctors could do for a 3-year-old boy brought to Bangkok's main children's hospital two weeks ago with dengue fever. Like thousands before him, he had reached the most dangerous phase of the disease, dengue shock syndrome, and he died of internal bleeding and organ failure three days after being admitted.
The U.S. Army maintains a medical research laboratory in Bangkok, where military scientists study tropical diseases. One of their goals: to develop a vaccine for dengue.
Here's where Scott comes in:
"The mosquito can breed in something as small as a soda bottle, but its ideal breeding conditions are large containers common in many parts of Southeast Asia to store drinking water," Fuller wrote. "(Unlike other mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti prefers clean water, according to Thomas W. Scott, a professor at the University of California, Davis, who is a leading expert on the species.)"
We wrote about researcher Scott's work in July: On the Trail of Dengue: A Disease with No Vaccine, No Cure.
Scott's goal is to save lives through research, surveillance and implementation of disease prevention strategies. He maintains field stations in Peru, Mexico and Thailand.
He's studying "the patterns of human infection with dengue virus, doing detailed studies of mosquito populations and disease in humans in order to predict which prevention strategies work the best."
Basically, Scott assesses risks, develops computer models and implements disease prevention strategies.
The culprit: Aedes egypti, or the yellow-fever mosquito, that transmits dengue virus to people.
The disease: Dengue, caused by any one of four serotypes or closely related viruses known as DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, or DEN-4. Nicknamed "break bone fever," classic dengue is characterized by high fever, headaches, muscle and joint pain, nausea, vomiting and a rash.
The prevalence: Some 50 to 100 million annual cases of debilitating dengue fever. The most severe form of the disease, dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), strikes half a million a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). An estimated 5 percent with DHF die.
The CDC says dengue outbreaks occur in most tropical urban areas of the world where the Aedes egypti lives.
In the United States, dengue is rare. Occasionally travelers to infected areas return with the disease.
Now the Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences, Bangkok, is attempting to develop a vaccine for dengue. As New York Times reporter Thomas Fuller wrote, quoting Col. James Boles, the laboratory commander: "There's no dengue in Kansas. No malaria, either. That's why we are here."
And that's why medical entomologists like Thomas Scott are here, too.

8 Ways to Get Ahead at Work
Grab your boss's attention by asking questions, solving problems and more
By Tori Rodriguez
Special Offer
Even if you love your job, you'll likely find yourself stuck in a rut at some point in your career. You may have gotten so good at what you do that it has become automatic (and perhaps a bit boring), or maybe you'd like to ask for a raise but don't know how to broach the subject. Whatever your goal, we spoke to career experts to learn what techniques will help you gain momentum at work.
1. Take on diverse assignments.
If it seems like the only thing that ever changes about your job is the day of the week, it's time to ask your boss for "stretch assignments" to enhance your growth, says Jodi Glickman, president of a communication training firm and author of Great on the Job. Offer to help with new projects, even ones that fall outside your department. Or, if you have a particular skill that isn't part of your job description, be on the lookout for opportunities to indulge your other areas of expertise. For instance, say you're a teacher who also has a flair for writing. "If your team is redesigning the curriculum or applying for a grant, offer to help write, edit or review the proposal," suggests Glickman. "By showcasing your natural talents, you'll give people a chance to see another side of you, and you may open doors to new opportunities you never even considered," she explains. If there are no projects on the horizon, let it be known that you're available when one does come along. "People will appreciate your initiative and will often find a way to make new assignments come your way over the long term," Glickman adds.
2. Put out fires before they start.
Let your boss know as soon as you become aware of a problem or potential problem, and offer possible solutions. This approach "shows your boss that you've got good judgment and that you're trying to make his or her life easier by taking an active role in the problem-solving," notes Glickman. Making things run more smoothly for your boss is a surefire way to improve your chances of getting a raise or promotion, she adds.
3. Ask questions.
While it may seem like you're doing your boss a favor by keeping questions to a minimum, you're actually setting yourself up for failure if you don't ask for resources that will help you do the best job possible. When you're given a new assignment, make sure you understand exactly what's required of you and how to do it. If anything isn't clear, ask for guidance. According to Glickman, "the smart way to ask for help is to ask your boss if she has a good recent example of a similar completed assignment that you can look at, or a recommendation of someone you could speak with for direction."
4. Find—and learn from—a mentor.
If you want to increase your visibility, says Hadley Earabino, a certified Martha Beck Life Coach who helps women with career choices, "start taking notes: Who gets noticed? What is she doing that you can emulate? You don't have to reinvent the wheel. Model yourself after someone whose techniques are already working." Once you find a coworker you especially admire, let her know that you'd like to help out if she ever needs assistance with a project, or let your manager know you're eager to team up with this particular person. Collaborating with well-respected employees can be a "great way for you to learn new skills, develop a new relationship and gain visibility with other senior leaders within your organization," Glickman says.
5. Get to the point.
We often overcommunicate for fear that we'll leave out important details, but loading down listeners with too much information makes it hard for them to take it all in. The solution? "Lead with the punch line," advises Glickman. Whether you're delivering good or bad news, "think about what is new, different or important, and start with that. Don't make people guess at your meaning or listen to a four-minute voice mail when you could have delivered your key points in half the time." If there's time and attention to spare, then you can fill in more details.
6. Take control of your career path.
If you feel like you're ready for more responsibility at work, meet with your boss to tell her what you'd like to take on while also asking for advice on how you can prepare for this next step. "Be long-term focused and couch it in terms of your ability to contribute to the organization in a broader way," Glickman suggests. For instance, if you want more client interaction, she recommends saying: "I'd like to expand my skill set and increase my impact, and I think I'd do well interacting with clients. Is there any way to give me some additional exposure over the next three to six months?" Earabino suggests that "you might also try doing extra work before you're asked to. If you do a stellar job, you'll be handed a similar project before you can finish the first one." Of course, you don't want to step on any toes, but if you think a project would benefit from extra research, go ahead and do it without being asked, and report the findings to your boss.
7. Mind your attitude.
"A good attitude is arguably one of the most important things you bring with you to the job," says Glickman. "If you are open-minded and willing to pitch in, or just do what's asked of you with a smile on your face, people will want to work with and for you." But if there's a problem that you can't ignore, instead of griping, Glickman suggests being proactive. First, highlight the issue ("I'd like to talk to you about how we might be able to help the sales team better prepare for our meetings."). Then, ask for rationale ("What are your thoughts about why the sales team doesn't have their reports ready for our weekly meetings?"). Finally, propose a solution ("Would it help if we moved the meetings to later in the week?").
8. Tout your accomplishments.
While it's important to keep your boss informed of your successes, don't overdo it by sharing every detail. Instead, Glickman recommends scheduling quarterly discussions to update your manager about "what you've been working on and a few of the successes you've had." She explains, "Asking to sit down and catch up once a quarter is not too onerous, and any achievements are still relatively recent." Then, when you feel you deserve a raise or promotion, schedule a meeting with your boss in which you recap significant contributions throughout the past year and share what you plan to contribute going forward. "If your boss refuses your request after you've laid out your case, you need to ask, 'What do I specifically need to do to get a raise or promotion next time?'" says Glickman. "Find out so that you can meet those goals and make it happen."

1. "This controversial Real Housewives star is about to have some added drama in her life. The tabloids are working overtime to get a bunch of stories about our Housewife and her glory days as a hooker. Not anyone in New York or New Jersey."
2. "This famous actor and actress couple got married several years ago. Although it was a hastily-arranged secret wedding, you've probably seen a few good photos of the event. Well, guess who's not really married? We mean legally. While their wedding was a religious commitment ceremony and family party, they never got around to the actual marriage license part. Well, at least that should make their "divorce" easier."
3. "This almost-adult star who got their start on a popular Children's network (not Disney) claims to be brokenhearted after being dumped by her older costar. She claims the two were involved for three years, even though he was in a relationship with someone else. When the source threatened to expose the relationship because of the celeb's underage status, the star was adamant nothing illegal happened."

Guest post by Sean Lorre, PhoBlograpHusband.
I'm afraid that one of my oldest friends doesn't like me much anymore. We used to be thick as thieves. We could really count on each other, you know? I'd sing his praises to anyone who would listen and in turn he'd lift my spirits, get me through tough times… hell, he even helped me meet my wife. But lately, things just haven't been the same. Why, bourbon? Why have you turned on me?
See, used to be that I could drink bourbon all night and never have a problem. But lately, just a glass or two leaves me worse for wear the next day. This newfound shortcoming has left me in a predicament and wary of ordering my go-to drink, the Manhattan. Thankfully, I have a fallback… enter the Martinez!
The Martinez, ostensibly the precursor of both the Manhattan AND the Martini, has a long, illustrious and much debated history. I won't bore you with the details, much less a historiographic critique of said details. (Did I mention that I'm working on my Ph.D.?) Point is that it's old-school, classic and fantastic. I had my first Martinez at the Flatiron Lounge a few years ago, just as I was discovering the world of the craft cocktail. It's been a favorite ever since, though it has only been in the last year, after finally investing in a bottle of Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, that I started making them at home. In recent months I've started to see a real resurgence of the Martinez on drink lists. Viva la Martinez renaissance!
The Martinez
2 ounces gin
1 ounce sweet vermouth
1/2 ounce Luxardo Maraschino liqueur
3 dashes bitters (Angostura or Peychaud's)
Orange peel, to garnish
Combine the gin, vermouth, Luxardo and bitters in a tumbler filled with ice. Stir vigorously and strain into your favorite old-time cocktail class. Garnish with orange peel, flamed if you can, "to add flavour and aroma to the surface of the cocktail."
Tasting Notes
You'll note that I don't specify any particular gin or vermouth (or bitters for that matter). The key to a good Martinez is the proportions. Stick to these and you'll end up happy with your drink. You may also note that the 1887 recipe calls for Old Tom gin. If you got some or can get some, give it a whirl. If not, good ole London dry will do just fine.

Cutaneous candidiasis is infection of the skin with candida fungus.
Skin infection - fungal; Fungal infection - skin; Skin infection - yeast; Yeast infection - skin; Intertriginous candidiasis; Cutaneous candidiasis
The body normally hosts a variety of germs, including bacteria and fungi. Some of these are useful to the body, some produce no harm or benefit, and some can cause harmful infections.
Some fungal infections are caused by fungi that live on the hair, nails, and outer skin layers. They include mold-like fungi (dermatophytes, which cause tinea infections) and yeast-like fungi (such as Candida).
In cutaneous candidiasis, the skin is infected with Candida fungi. It is fairly common. Infection can involve almost any skin on the body, but most often it occurs in warm, moist, creased areas such as the armpits and groin. The fungus that most often causes cutaneous candidiasis is Candida albicans.
Candida is the most common cause of diaper rash in infants. The fungi take advantage of the warm, moist conditions inside the diaper. Candida infection is particularly common in people with diabetes and in people who are obese. Antibiotics, steroid therapy, and chemotherapy increase the risk of cutaneous candidiasis. Candida can also cause infections of the nails (onychomycosis), at the edge of the nails (paronychia), and at the corners of the mouth (angular cheilitis).
Oral thrush, a form of Candida infection of the moist lining (mucous membranes) of the mouth, is usually associated with taking antibiotics. It may also be a sign of HIV infection or other immunodeficiency disorders when it occurs in adults. Individuals with Candida infections are not usually contagious, though in some settings immunocompromised people can catch the infection.
Candida is also the most frequent cause of vaginal yeast infections, which are common and often associated with antibiotics use.
People with seriously weakened immune systems and cutaneous candidiasis may go on to develop more serious internal Candida infections.
A yeast (candida) infection of the skin can cause intense itching.
Symptoms also include:
Your doctor or nurse can usually diagnose this condition by looking at your skin. The health care provider may gently scrape off a sample of skin for testing.
Older children and adults with a yeast skin infection should be tested for diabetes. High sugar levels seen in people with diabetes act as food for the yeast fungus, and help it grow.
Good general health and hygiene is very important for treating candida infections of the skin. Keeping the skin dry and exposed to air is helpful. Drying powders may help prevent fungal infections.
Losing weight may help eliminate the problem if you are overweight.
Proper blood sugar control may also be helpful to those with diabetes.
Antifungal skin creams or ointments may be used to treat a yeast infection of the skin, mouth, or vagina. Antifungal medications taken by mouth may be necessary for for severe candida infections involving the mouth, throat, or vagina.
Cutaneous candidiasis sometimes goes away with treatment. Repeat infections are common.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop symptoms of cutaneous candidiasis.

Cerebral hypoxia occurs when there is not enough oxygen getting to the brain. The brain needs a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients to function.
Cerebral hypoxia refers to the outer part of the brain, an area called the cerebral hemisphere. However, the term is often used to refer to a lack of oxygen supply to the entire brain.
Hypoxic encephalopathy; Anoxic encephalopathy
In cerebral hypoxia, sometimes only the oxygen supply is interrupted. This can be caused by:
In other cases, both oxygen and nutrient supply are stopped, caused by:
Brain cells are extremely sensitive to a lack of oxygen. Some brain cells start dying less than 5 minutes after their oxygen supply disappears. As a result, brain hypoxia can rapidly cause severe brain damage or death.
Symptoms of mild cerebral hypoxia include:
Symptoms of severe cerebral hypoxia include:
Cerebral hypoxia can usually be diagnosed based on the person's medical history and a physical exam. Tests are done to determine the cause of the hypoxia, and may include:
If only blood pressure and heart function remain, the brain may be completely dead.
Cerebral hypoxia is an emergency condition that need to be treated right away. The sooner the oxygen supply is restored to the brain, the lower the risk of severe brain damage and death.
Treatment depends on the cause of the hypoxia. Basic life support is most important. Treatment involves:
Sometimes a person with cerebral hypoxia is cooled to slow down the activity of the brain cells and decrease their need for oxygen. However, the benefit of this treatment has not been firmly established.
The outlook depends on the extent of the brain injury. This is determined by how long the brain lacked oxygen, and whether nutrition to the brain was also affected.
If the brain lacked oxygen for only a very brief period of time, a coma may be reversible and the person may have a full or partial return of function. Some patients recover many functions, but have abnormal movements such as twitching or jerking, called myoclonus. Seizures may sometimes occur, and may be continuous (status epilepticus).
Most people who make a full recovery were only briefly unconscious. The longer a person is unconscious, the higher the risk for death or brain death, and the lower the chances of recovery.
Complications of cerebral hypoxia include a prolonged vegetative state. This means the person may have basic life functions such as breathing, blood pressure, sleep-wake cycle, and eye opening, but the person is not alert and does not respond to his or her surroundings. Such patients usually die within a year, although some may survive longer.
Length of survival depends partly on how much care is taken to prevent other problems. Major complications may include:
Cerebral hypoxia is a medical emergency. Call 911 immediately if someone is losing consciousness or has other symptoms of cerebral hypoxia.
Prevention depends on the specific cause of hypoxia. Unfortunately, hypoxia is usually unexpected. This makes the condition somewhat difficult to prevent.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can be lifesaving, especially when it is started right away.

Working for smart, nonpartisan policy
We have always worked hard to be a trusted force for environmental progress, on both sides of the aisle.
Strong partnerships with both Democrats and Republicans have been critical to meeting our goals.
Today, our policy experts continue to work closely with Congressional staff and leaders from both parties. We advise them on topics ranging from behavior and energy savings to toxic mercury emitted from coal plants.
We also work closely with state legislatures. For example, in 2006, we co-sponsored and helped pass California's Global Warming Solutions Act, the first of its kind in the U.S. We supported the landmark law as it came under attack through a ballot initiative in 2010 and lawsuits in 2011. And we are now working to make sure that it gets put into action effectively in 2012 and beyond.
2000s: Working with the Obama and Bush administrations
2012-2014: Clean Power Plan — Working with EDF, the Obama administration proposes the first nationwide limits on carbon pollution from both new and existing power plants.
2011: Restoring the Gulf Coast — EDF works with both Republicans and Democrats to win support for legislation to restore the Gulf Coast after the BP oil disaster.
2010: Helping fishermen fish smartly — EDF achieves a critical win in the fight to end overfishing when the Obama administration requires every U.S. commercial fishery to consider adopting catch share management.
2010: Encouraging more efficient cars and trucks — Following calls from EDF and others for tighter fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks, the Obama administration strengthens the fuel economy standards for passenger vehicles and light trucks.
2009: Cutting pollution from ships — Working closely with officials from the Obama administration, EDF wins preliminary approval for an "emission control area" extending 230 miles off the U.S. coast.
2009: Saving wildlife in the Pacific — At EDF's urging, President George W. Bush sets aside for protection a vast area of the central Pacific Ocean, including nine distinct tropical coral islands and their surrounding waters.
2004: Making diesel engines cleaner — The George W. Bush administration, after working closely with EDF, issues final rules to slash emissions from new diesel tractors, construction equipment and other non-road engines.
1990s: Working with the Clinton and Bush administrations
2000: Preserving an ocean ecosystem — President Clinton, at EDF's urging, creates the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve, comprising 70% of the nation's coral reefs.
1999: Helping landowners save endangered species — Under President Clinton, the federal government adopts a program EDF pioneered called "Safe Harbor."
1997: Curbing urban smog — Under President Bill Clinton, EPA embraces EDF's plan for a broad regional approach to curbing the nitrogen emissions that contribute to urban smog.
1990: Passing the Clean Air Act — EDF works closely with the administration of President George H.W. Bush on the Clean Air Act of 1990, which addresses the growing problem of acid rain.
1970s—1980s: Working with the Reagan and Carter administrations
1977: Making children's clothing safer — The Carter administration, in response to an EDF campaign, curbs the use of the hazardous flame retardant TRIS in children's sleepwear.
1987: Saving the ozone layer — EDF, working with the Reagan administration, helps design the Montreal Protocol, an international agreement to phase-out CFCs, chemicals destroying the Earth's ozone layer.
1988: Encouraging recycling — President Ronald Reagan's EPA endorses EDF's public service recycling campaign, launched under the slogan, "If You're Not Recycling, You're Throwing It All Away."
Advancing smart policies requires smart politics.
EDF's Strategic Partners help widen support on both sides of the aisle.

HHS soccer falls 1-0, sees season end

After the Hays High School girls' soccer team gathered for its post-game meeting, seniors Taylor Herman and April Johnson latched together in a tear-filled embrace. Seniors Megan Bird, Kaitlin Gulley and Lauren Murphy soon joined the group hug, each saying their own goodbyes.
It was a difficult farewell for a group that had played soccer together since grade school, but following the 1-0 loss to Wichita-Bishop Carroll on Tuesday in the Class 5A state quarterfinals at HHS Field, their season, and for many their career, had officially come to an end.
"I'm going to start crying if I talk about it," said Herman, the school's career scoring leader. "It was amazing. They made it worth it to play."
These Hays High seniors were more like pioneers in their four years than Indians, as they led the squad into uncharted territory.
Before them, Hays High never made a state quarterfinal, let alone the final four, which they reached last season as juniors.
"I've played with these girls since we were little," Bird said. "It's really hard to say goodbye to everybody now."
In the seniors' final year, Hays High finished 15-3-1, posting the best regular season record in school history.
And in their four years, they went 52-22-3, reached the state quarterfinals twice, final four once, established the longest winning streak in school history at 12 games, broke the school scoring record with 48 goals as juniors, matched that scoring record their senior year and shattered the scoring defense record with 11 goals allowed this season — an unmatched resume in Hays High girls' soccer.
"It was awesome to see the transformation we made from our freshman and sophomore years to our junior and senior years," Bird said.
As good as Hays High has been this season, on Tuesday, Bishop Carroll (15-1-3) was simply better.
The Golden Eagles possessed the ball well and played aggressively, making it difficult for the Indians to move the ball into scoring position.
Bishop Carroll finished with seven shots on goal, while Hays High had four on goal.
"They are a tough team," said Hays High coach Chris Michaelis. "They are well coached. They do a lot of things well, but I thought our girls were right there."
Bishop Carroll got ahead in the 26th minute when sophomore Maria Walden attacked from the right.
Walden sent a cross to the left side of the field, and sophomore Shelby Lopez collected it and kicked it into the bottom right corner of the goal.
But Hays High had opportunities after that.
The closest came in the 43rd minute when senior Shelby Dinkel shot to the left of the goal. The ball flew past the diving goalkeeper, but the ball bounced out off the post.
"That was one of them where a fraction of an inch further right and it goes in and doesn't hit that post," Michaelis said.
Michaelis said bad luck sometimes comes in sports.
"We had two golden opportunities, but the ball just missed wide," he said. "That's unfortunate, but that's the way athletics goes sometimes. You battle and battle, and you are so close to getting there and it misses by inches. Unfortunately today, we came out on the wrong side of that."
Bishop Carroll has had Hays High's number in recent years.
But in 2010, the Indians actually knocked off Bishop Carroll 1-0 in overtime on the road in the regional semifinals, but since then
Bishop Carroll has defeated Hays High 8-0 in regional play in 2011, 1-0 in the state consolation finals in 2012 and now 1-0 in the state quarterfinals.
"We've played them since we were freshmen," Herman said. "We knew they were a good team. They are good with one touches. They are good at possession."
However, for Michaelis, it was a good group with which to end his 15-year coaching tenure at Hays High.
"That's the legacy they are going to leave in my mind, just how competitive these girls were," Michaelis said.
The USD 489 Board of Education accepted Micahelis' letter of resignation April 15.
The hire of assistant coach Saul Hernandez as the new head coach for boys' and girls' soccer was announced Monday at a Board of Education meeting.
Michaelis resigned to spend more time with family and explore different professional directions in education. He will remain at HHS as a teacher.
"Saul will bring a great work ethic," Michaelis said. "... He's played, and he's worked really hard within the soccer community and working with the Hays Soccer Club. He's a very knowledgeable young man. He'll jump right in and move (the program) on."

Comments: There is so much to say about a skate like this. When I first started playing ice hockey, I did not want to spend so much money. I first looked at this skate and I felt in love. The design here is sick as well as the technology in a skate like this. I have been using this skate for a year and a half now. It is super durable and strong and withstands any shots or stick that has hit it. They are super lightweight, so you do not feel like you are lugging around a lot. And it is extremely responsive. These are great for sprinting and quick, hard stops as well as hard cornering. Playing as a center, this is exactly what I need. Best skates ever!!!
From: Melanie
Comments: Comments:just got these skates went skateing with them the next day i was amazed at how broken in they were out of the box great skates for the price.
From: Dustin, Green Bay, WI
Comments: I just recently started playing ice hockey,I've played roller hockey ever since I can remember. I purchased these skates never before skating on ice. I wanted super quality and affordable skates. I love these skates to death. Its now winter in Nebraska and most lakes and lines are frozen, I take the skates with me wherever I go incase Idecide to shred some ice. I ordered the skates with the yellow superfeet pads. They are extremely comfortable and durable, considering I skate outdoors. I recommend all starters get these skates. You won't regret it. 10/10
From: Kaleb, Nebraska
Comments: All of my friends have been telling me to get these skates for I don't know how long, a while. I finally got them, and I was amazed of how it surpassed by expectations. They are one of the best skates I have used in my 25 years of Hokey, and as an Public Ice Skating Instructor. These skates are not just for hokey, but for recerational skating for guys who just can't use figure skates. I give them a 6/5

Many designers, including myself have been deeply moved to do better design by Bruce Mau's Incomplete Design Manifesto. He has pointedly chosen to label his manifesto "incomplete", as a sort of "call to arms" for designers and creative-doers to progress.
Social design represents this progression, or at least a branch of that progression. This post aims to pose back to the reader "is social design a category of design or is it a principle that should be a part of all design?" Similarly to the triple bottom-line of social entrepreneurs, is there bottom-line that all designers must adhere to or strive for?
In the spirit of Bruce Mau's Incomplete Design Manifesto, let's create the Incomplete Social Design Manifesto. Please respond to this post with one point that articulates your beliefs, motivations and strategies towards making design more socially rooted.

Teaching Philosophy: As a teacher, how can I help students grow as writers? First, I encourage their growth as readers, helping them select a rich and varied range of readings, and working together to demystify and discern some basic tenets of good writing. No amount of art or imagination will carry a piece of prose if its grammar, syntax, diction or logic falter, and here I strive not only to be a good editor, but to help students internalize the process and increase their own self-editing capabilities.In the workshop, I see my role as mediator, setting the tone and ensuring the conversation is intellectually precise, creatively curious, and deeply respectful of the spiritual impulse to create with language.Above all I strive to help my students uncouple process from product, granting themselves permission to experiment, to invest, to reach, to fail – all of which do more to enable growth than would an exclusive emphasis on product.Finally, I believe that neither writing, nor the teaching of it, can be rightly considered separate from the practice of compassion, which not only lies at the heart of writing and teaching, but may be the principle reason writers are called to tell stories in the first place.Awards & Honors: Longlisted for the Orange Prize and the IMPAC Dublin Award; finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize; New York Times Notable Book (five times); American Library Association Ten Best Books of the Year; Toronto Globe and Mail Ten Best Books of the Year; Oprah Book of the WeekAffiliation: Jenks Chair in Contemporary American Letters, College of the Holy Cross.Past Affiliations: Boston University, Emerson College.Website: www.leahhagercohen.com

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Whirlpool French Door Refrigerator #WRF989SDAF
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
If you have kids in the house, youll love the huge 28.6 cu. ft. Whirlpool French Door Refrigerator with a finish that doesnt show fingerprints and smudges. In the freezer theres a special compartment for stashing frozen pizzas and the large temperature controlled drawer can hold a party platter. You can set the water dispenser to deliver a precise amount and then stop automatically; program it for the capacity of your kids mugs and avoid overflows and messes to clean up. This fridge offers plenty of other bells and whistles, including a built-in air filter, a fast ice option, and a vacation mode. The Whirlpool did a great job maintaining a consistent temperature in our tests (even in hot and humid conditions!) but we found that freezer temperatures varied significantly throughout the compartment. Still, this unit was a strong enough performer to be our top pick for a large-capacity model at a reasonable price.
