A Brookfield Multiplex-led consortium has been named preferred bidder to build a £165m replacement for Edinburgh's Royal Hospital for Sick Children.
The Integrated Health Solutions Lothian consortium beat rival bids from Laing O'Rourke and a Balfour Beatty/Bam joint venture.
As part of the procurement process a legal standstill period is currently being observed and, following this period, Integrated Health Solutions Lothian will then work with NHS Lothian to finalise the details for the new building.
Construction work is expected to start this autumn, with the hospital becoming operational in the summer of 2017.
The project is the first acute hospital facility to be procured under the Scottish Government's Non Profit Distributing model and will be delivered as a stand alone new build on the existing site of the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
The new building at Little France will also provide new facilities for the child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, which will move from the Royal Edinburgh Hospital.
Brookfield Multiplex Construction Europe(construction), HLMAD (architects), Macquarie Capital Group Limited (finance) and Bouygues E&S FM UK Limited (FM provider).
Susan Goldsmith, Director of Finance, NHS Lothian said: "This announcement marks a major milestone in what is an extremely exciting project for the people of Lothian and beyond.
"The development will prove significant in shaping the future of care by bringing children's, maternity and adult services together on the same site.
"It will build on the existing centre of excellence, creating a major trauma centre and providing opportunities for sharing experience, expertise and research."

Centre is being funded through a £40 million investment by Rolls-Royce, matched by a £20 million government grant
Work has begun on a £60 million High Temperature Research Centre at Ansty Park near Coventry as part of an innovative partnership between the University of Birmingham and Rolls-Royce.
The 5,800 sq m centre, which represents the next phase in a longstanding collaboration between the two organisations, is being funded through a £40 million investment by Rolls-Royce, matched by a £20 million government grant through the Higher Education Funding Council for England's UK Research Partnership Investment Fund.
The centre will be a casting, design, simulation and advanced manufacturing research facility, and will focus initially on the key design and manufacturing aspects of investment casting relating to aerospace and other industrial sectors.
It will also work in education and research with a variety of other partners in the UK and internationally.
The new facility will offer the opportunity for the university and Rolls-Royce to build upon their existing relationship with the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), which is also located at Ansty Park.
Work starting on the project was marked by the university's Vice-Chancellor Professor David Eastwood and Rolls-Royce director of research and Technology Ric Parker 'breaking ground' at the Ansty Park site.
Professor Eastwood said: "The breaking of ground symbolises the first step in our bold and ambitious approach in the construction of this unique facility, which will build on the university's excellent track-record in casting, materials, engineering and manufacturing research, and will continue to strengthen the relationship between the university and Rolls-Royce."
Mr Parker added: "It demonstrates our commitment to world-class technology and infrastructure to deliver our promises to our customers.
"It symbolises our determination to work with top-class universities, like Birmingham, as part of our University Technology Centre network.
"The High Temperature Research Centre further strengthens our strategic partnership with the University of Birmingham and will focus on the development of turbine investment casting technologies, which are critical to the future success of Rolls-Royce products. This centre will concentrate our research on one of the hottest and most challenging components in our engines."

Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today launched the Autodesk Foundation, which will invest in and support the most impactful nonprofit organizations using the power of design to help solve epic challenges, such as climate change, access to water, and healthcare, among others. In partnership with the company, the Autodesk Foundation will provide select design-oriented grantees with software, training and financial support.
"We have been delighted by the number of people using our technology to design a better world and solve global problems," said Autodesk President and CEO Carl Bass. "These are the people who inspired us to align our philanthropic giving with our core business, to support more of these nonprofits to bring their ideas to market. We will also be encouraging the thousands of Autodesk employees to get involved in Foundation programs."
"We believe that design offers humanity our greatest hope for addressing some of the most urgent, inter-connected and non-negotiable challenges of our time," says President and CEO of the Autodesk Foundation and Autodesk Senior Director of Sustainability Lynelle Cameron. "We want to support and accelerate the design-led revolution currently underway, by investing in design-driven entities that are pursuing scalable solutions with measureable impact."
Tackling Epic Challenges Through Impact Design
Impact design focuses on generating significant, measurable progress toward solving today's epic challenges – access to healthcare and education; clean energy and water; efficient transportation; or the many other global problems we face. Through the Foundation's Impact Design Program, carefully selected nonprofits will receive funding, and in partnership with Autodesk, Inc., software and training to create solutions that address these challenges.
KickStart International, one of the Foundation's pilot grantees, exemplifies impact design. The Foundation recently hosted four of their engineers from Kenya to come to San Francisco for a multi-week design software immersion and fabrication workshop. KickStart designs simple agricultural irrigation tools that help African farmers start profitable businesses and rise out of poverty. "Before this training, it took more than a year and 20 hand-made prototypes to develop a subassembly of our water pump. Now we have been able to design, test critical prototypes of the next version of our irrigation pump with Autodesk tools, and then fabricate them at the Autodesk facilities. We are saving months of work and will be able to create better products, faster, from now on," explained Alan Spybey, director and designer at KickStart.
The program's first grantees also include:
Autodesk Technology Impact Program Delivers Software to Create Change
During the 2013 Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Annual Meeting, Autodesk launched the Technology Impact program, providing software donations to select nonprofits that are employing design to create a better world. One nonprofit benefitting is Habitat for Humanity, and Executive Director for Greater San Francisco Phillip Kilbridge believes, "Autodesk has been a great collaborator for us. From providing us with complimentary tools to plan our builds to additional hands on our sites, we couldn't run as smoothly without them."
Autodesk has committed to donating $7.5 million in software to at least 500 nonprofits in the first year of the program's operation. Through the Technology Impact Program, Autodesk offers qualifying nonprofits two licenses of its professional design software suites: Autodesk Product Design Suite Premium, Autodesk Building Design Suite Premium, Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite Premium, and Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suite Ultimate.
Employees Contribute to the Foundation Goal
Autodesk's employees play a significant role in the Foundation's efforts to create a better world. Autodesk supports the 7,390 employees worldwide to volunteer with or donate to the nonprofit organizations they care most about. As part of the Foundation launch, Autodesk increased the annual donation matching commitment per employee and has made it easier to volunteer. A senior director at Autodesk, Minette Norman explains, "With my work experience and commitment to volunteering, I help manage a local food bank site on Saturdays. It's something I'm passionate about, and I value that Autodesk cares too." Last year, Autodesk employees around the world volunteered more than 8,200 hours.
Providing Critical Disaster Response
The Autodesk Foundation provides financial support and facilitates in-kind and technical support to areas struck by unexpected disasters. The company has most recently supported relief efforts for Typhoon Haiyan and the tsunami stemming from the Great East Japan Earthquake. Autodesk and its employees have held various fundraisers and donated to charities and relief organizations including Doctors Without Borders, American Red Cross and Architecture for Humanity. Autodesk further supports disaster response efforts through matching employee donations with corporate funds.
About the Autodesk Foundation
The Autodesk Foundation invests in the most impactful people and organizations using design to solve epic challenges. As the first foundation exclusively focused on design for impact, the Autodesk Foundation directs investments to design-driven entities that are pursuing measurable and scalable solutions.

Mace has taken on 45 electricians directly on its sites after one of its main M&E subcontractors ran into financial trouble.
The Enquirer understands that Mayfair Building Services was struggling to pay its suppliers and staff last week.
A spokesperson from Mace said: "We have a well-established process in place for the rare occasions when we have issues with suppliers.
"In the recent case of Mayfair Building Services, we have been able to ensure that none of the operatives working on our major projects have lost their job and no time has been lost."
Calls to Mayfair Building Services's head office in Kent went unanswered.
A site source said: "It looks like Mayfair couldn't pay its workers and suppliers so Mace has stepped in.
"They have worked with Mace for a while and were a regular on a lot of their major jobs."
Loughborough College, the National Space Academy and the University of Leicester have teamed up to offer a undergraduate degree-level apprenticeship in space engineering.
The program will cover the skills mix required for the UK's space industry, which is expected to be worth £30 billion in the next two decades. The programme was launched by Skills Minister Matthew Hancock.
He told the BBC: "Ahead of National Apprenticeship Week, I would like to encourage young people to think about a career in this stimulating and fast-moving sector. I'm sure there will be opportunities for apprentices working in this sector to be involved in some innovative and exciting projects."
Anu Ojha, director of the National Space Academy education programmes, added: "One of the major potential hurdles that could stifle the space sector's growth is a lack of high-level technical entrants. These Higher Apprenticeships will tackle this issue head on, strengthening the industry through these academically rigorous, sector-specific programmes with a focus on stimulating progression from Advanced Level into degree-level vocational pathways"
Martin Killeen, head of technology at Loughborough College, said: "We have worked extensively with the space industry to develop our higher apprenticeship programme to ensure it combines both the work-based skills and the knowledge which meet employers' needs."
The apprenticeship will complement Loughborough College's existing Space Engineering Level 3 course, which began in September 2012.

The leading machine tool manufacturer Yamazaki Mazak has begun the recruitment process for its 2014 apprentice intake, which comprises 18 places at its European headquarters and manufacturing facility in Worcester. Apprenticeships are open to those aged between 16 and 22; they can apply by downloading and completing the application form that can be found on the Mazak Europe Web site (www.mazak.eu/uk-education-and-jobs). Applications close on 31 March.The successful applicants will benefit from a combination of practical hands-on learning and college-based further education. The first year will comprise practical off-the-job training with a local training provider (Worcestershire Group Training Association), to learn basic engineering skills. They will also attend the local technical college on day release; this contributes towards a BTEC National Diploma or City & Guilds 2850. During the subsequent two or three years, apprentices will spend time in a variety of departments at the company's Warndon site, where they will be gradually be introduced to Mazak's product range to hone their machine tool skills. They will also spend further time in college and complete their NVQ Level 3. Dave Barnett, Yamazaki Mazak's learning and development manager, said: "Engineering apprenticeships offer young people an invaluable route into the world of work. An apprenticeship is far more than just a job; it offers the opportunity to learn and develop skills that will stay with people throughout their careers. To date, Yamazaki Mazak has successfully trained over 150 apprentices, some of whom now hold senior positions within the company. We are looking for people who are self-motivated and enthusiastic about a career in engineering. Interest in these positions will be high, so I would urge all potential apprentices to get their applications in now."

Small to medium sized manufacturers in England are poised to invest in capital equipment to meet expected demand in the next 12 months, the Manufacturing Advisory Service announced today.
The latest MAS Barometer's special showed that 86% of respondents were planning to increase finance in equipment and with 80,000 firms making up the SME manufacturing community in England, this could equate to hundreds of £millions of fresh industry investment between now and 2015.
Steven Barr, Head of MAS, commented: "There is a definite feel good factor around English manufacturing at the moment and these latest figures reinforce positive reports from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) together with encouraging Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) data.
"Investment is crucial if we are going to take advantage of reshoring and predicted growth in markets such as offshore wind, renewables and low carbon vehicles."
Two thirds of firms surveyed report plans to to buy new plant and machinery, just over half will focus on upgrading IT/communications infrastructure and nearly a third intend to improve premises.
Predominant reasons driving investment plans were boosting efficiency and quality (31%), followed by developing new products/processes (30%) and extending existing capacity (22%).
Fewer than one in five companies (19%) said they planned to approach banks to fund capital equipment purchases in the next year, with manufacturers instead choosing to secure money via grants (27%) and the Regional Growth Fund (21%).
A record 864 SME manufacturers responded to the newest MAS Barometer, which provides an outline of economic conditions faced by the sector from October to December 2013.
62% of firms reported a sales boost over the last six months, equating to a 6% rise on the last report, with 76% of businesses predicting a sales increase between now and June 2014.
Business and Energy Minister, Michael Fallon, said:
"These figures point towards signs of a renaissance in manufacturing. SMEs are increasing in confidence, and looking to both recruit and invest.
"We're committed to working closely with the manufacturing sector to provide a strong base for the recovery, and create growth for the future."
Today's results mark an all time high across the whole range of performance indicators in the MAS Barometer, as well as, revealing that more than half of English manufacturers are preparing to take on more staff over the next six months, a 14% rise on the previous report.
Steven Barr added: "The employment data makes for very interesting reading. Despite previous Barometers showing optimism in sales, investment and new technology, the number of firms planning to recruit has remained fairly consistent at around 40% over the past year.
"This was understood to be because companies were retaining staff during the slowdown in the hope that volumes would return. With so many firms confident of growth it could be that manufacturers are now looking to increase capability and capacity, or perhaps are looking to attract employees with different skills.
"The significant question now is do we have enough people to fill these positions or will it be a case of growing capability through apprenticeships and graduate recruitment?"
He concluded: "Our expert MAS Advisors are working with companies on their long-term strategies and skills is one of the biggest issues they are facing. We can help with planning recruitment policies and embedding skills, not to mention referring them to other relevant business support services."

Dr. Travis LaDuc helps students learn about urban ecosystems by studying the snakes of Waller Creek, the watershed that runs through campus.

It is important to know how the wildlife adapt to our urban ways, so we need to know what to do in order to preserve this wonderful environment. What is the first step? -
Travis LaDuc said on Jan. 11, 2011 at 12:02 p.m.
Thanks for all of the wonderful comments! As you probably could tell from the video, this has been a fun project and I've really enjoyed the feedback from the public and UT community. I'll try to briefly answer some of the questions listed in the comments. We've marked over 75 snakes since 2006, all blotched watersnakes. There are no other large snakes inhabiting the waters of Waller Creek. Why? We're not sure, but modifications to the creek over the past half a century (or more) have caused a reduction in adjacent habitat as well as a likely reduction in the available prey base (mammals, amphibians, and fish). We have only radio tracked four female snakes to date - we've learned that they have a great deal of site fidelity from year to year, with home ranges ranging about 300 m along lengths of the creek. We've found the females on "dates" with male snakes as well as watched the snakes eat toads and fish. We hope to track some males this coming year; our guess: they have longer home ranges than the females. And as for distinguishing between watersnakes and venomous cottonmouths, definitive identifications can be a tricky thing, especially if the snakes are moving in the water. Cottonmouths are typically more heavy-bodied, but other distinguishing features, such as pupil shape, require a much closer (and more risky) inspection. My suggestion: best thing to do is to give all unidentified snakes a wide berth and enjoy observing them from a safe distance.

Hi there, just wondered if anyone knew of any good surf spots on the Western side of Lombok. Am staying at Oberoi, and heard of a right at Gili Air, just wondered if any worthwhile beach or reefbreaks nearby - it's looks a little out of the swell path?
Thanks for the help.

On the rare occasion that John Kucela has to raise his voice because of something Chris Hall has done wrong, it's not easy for the Lakeside High School basketball coach.
"It's kind of hard to really get mad at Chris," Kucela said while cracking a smile. "His personality – he's just good to coach. He listens to you."
The Panthers coach describes the senior as the team's "jokester" and "cut-up."
Once the game begins, though, the joke is on the opponent.
Securing a spot atop two power-hitting categories in the Greenbrier High School softball record book is a significant achievement.
Ask head coach Garrett Black, though, and he'll stress that it wasn't just that Casey Rowland hit 17 home runs and amassed 55 RBI during her senior season.
It was how she did it.
"They've been big home runs," Black said late in the season, when Rowland eclipsed Tiffany Blackburn's single-season record for homers. "They're not just home runs when we've been up 12-0. They're home runs when it's nothing-nothing.
Malia Kency started Columbia County's 2011-12 basketball season with a bang Friday night, leading Grovetown High School by scoring 22 points in the first half against Lakeside.
But Grovetown head coach Jaime Echols might have been even more impressed with her total of just one point after halftime of the Warriors' 57-41 road victory.
"She came out in the second half wanting to get some other people involved, and she did that," he said. "I thought she was an all-around player and just a great point guard tonight."
Jack Gibbs had committed to play golf at the University of Virginia months before.
But when the time came recently for the Lakeside High School senior to sign a letter of intent to play for a Division I program, he said it was a little hard to concentrate.
"I got through it," he said. "All my hard work has paid off, I guess."
Though the senior still has a final prep year of golf with the Panthers remaining, the day was an early culmination of Gibbs' success.
The Columbia County Recreation Department held their end-of-the-year Youth Football Tournament Championship Games Nov. 12 at Greenbrier High for three separate age groups to wrap up another season of football.
The talent in the county seems to be getting better and better. There is certainly more depth today than there ever has been.
Back when I was coming through the recreation department you would have one or two players pretty much carry a team to the championship, and those players would win most every game they played in every age group.
Soccer school Thanksgiving Soccer School will be held Monday through Wednesday at Evans Towne Center Park. The free camp for ages 6-12 and all ability levels will run from 12:30-2 p.m. The camp is run by Augusta Arsenal coaches and college players. Contact Tom Norton at (706) 854-0149 or email@example.com. Basketball

Anne Comer and Mimi Tom weren't sure exactly what to expect from the new life fitness course for Columbia County special-needs classes started this school year, but the experience of Scott Norton's Evans Middle School class during sessions at the Wilson Branch of The Family Y proved the pilot program's worth.
"After our yoga class, (Norton) wanted to get a DVD and start continuing that in class," said Tom, who is a recreational therapist with Comer serving Columbia County schools.
It's been about two weeks since the Georgia High School Association State Cross Country Championships.
Chris Wilder's foot might still be hurting.
It's true that the Greenbrier High School senior's third-place individual finish in the Class AAAA event in Carrollton was impressive by its own accord.
Add in that he was presented not only with a medal afterward, but also with one of his shoes, and it becomes increasingly apparent just how impressive the performance was.
That's right; Wilder ran the entire race with one shoe.
Last season, Justin Cofer and Chad Waddell helped pace Greenbrier High School to 19 wins and a state playoff berth in basketball. Each were four-year starters and helped the 'Pack get better each year during their prep careers.
Following their stellar senior campaigns, each garnered several awards. Cofer was named All-County, All-Area and All-Region. Waddell picked up county, area, and region honors, too, and he also was named the Eric Marshall Award winner as the Columbia County Player of the Year.

Sutton boss Doswell will not stand in the way of his stars' Football League prospects
10:41am Thursday 29th November 2012 in Sport By Tim Ashton
Sutton United boss Paul Doswell says he will not stand in the way of a possible Football League move for Harry Beautyman.
Doswell has taken calls from interested League clubs and is convinced his midfielder could be going in January.
Kyle Vassell's departure last week will not see Doswell dipping into the transfer market, but if Beautyman leaves, that will change.
Doswell said: "I hope Harry gets the move he deserves. He has been a good servant to us and I would not stand in his way if the right move came up.
"Kyle wanted a guarantee of first team football and I could not give that to him. He will probably end up at Boreham Wood and I wish him the very best."
Injuries to Steven Old, Marvin Williams and now Anthony Riviere, have left the squad thin on the ground, leaving Doswell angry at the number of forthcoming games.
"We've not had a mid-week game for almost two months, and now we have an intense period of seven or eight games between now and January, it is absurd."
Sutton go to Staines in the Blue Square Premier this weekend.

"An intern and I decided, almost for amusement, to count violations of US Arms Export Control laws by Israel between the date of ACEA enactment, 1976, through last month and we estimated more than 2.5 million violations if we applied the law given the legislative history and intent of Congress at the time of its passage. We based that figure on our estimation of each individual violation of the act as well as of the 1961 Foreign Assistance Act. It could be firing a US 155 mm artillery shell, various missiles, bombs, rockets and of course cluster munitions. For example, were Israel brought before a Court, the prosecutors would surely argue that each cluster booklet dropped on Lebanon in 2006 was a separate violation plus the two million estimated dropped during the 1982 invasion of Lebanon and during the 1978, 1993 and 1996 invasions. Add to this figure Israel's records of violating US Arms export laws in Gaza, the West Bank and Syria and the true number is surely several million violations. Essentially all committed with impunity."

Elk fencing plan meeting set
Published on Wed, Jul 30, 2008 by
Evan Mclean
Read More
Tonight, Wednesday, July 30, is the night to get updated on elk management activities and to throw some comments and suggestions to the Dungeness Elk Working Team.
From the metal elk-shaped Sequim city signs to the amber elk crossing flashing lights on U.S. Highway 101, the Dungeness Roosevelt elk herd is an icon of the city of Sequim and the Dungeness Valley.
However, the presence of the 400- to 1,000-pound animals in the city limits, on regional roads or on local farmers land can become a nuisance.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Jamestown SKlallam Tribe, which cooperatively manage the herd, have indicated there needs to be a long-term solution to the herds run-ins with humans, both literally and financially.
Past proposals to handle the herd, including relocating its members to a southern portion of the Olympic Peninsula, were not well received by the public.
The public told us they wanted to keep the elk in the area, but we still need a long-term management solution to protect the elk and address landowner and human safety concerns, said Jack Smith, regional wildlife manager for the state agency.
The working team, which includes representatives from state Fish and Wildlife, the tribe, the city, Clallam County and organizations with interest in the herd, has been working on a new plan to fence the animals south of the highway.
Just where to put the fence, how long it should be and what people think of the proposal is the purpose of the July 30 public meeting at the Guy Cole Convention Center in Carrie Blake Park.
Fence options
The working team has identified three fencing options. The fence needs to be at least eight feet tall because some elk are able to jump nearly to that height. The length of the fence and its location are up for debate and the costs associated with decisions in each case may play a role in the final decision.
The first options identified by the team builds a barrier along the south side of the highway, from Sequim Bay west to the Dungeness River, splitting the urban area of Sequim. Openings in the fence would allow traffic to travel north and south.
This option has the advantage of working with the current state right-of-way along the highway and would not require various private easements, Smith said in a press release. However, the Bell Hill and Happy Valley areas would be included in the elk area south of the fence.
The second option builds a fence along the south side of the highway just where the elk could be viewed, but generally kept out of the town area.
Then the third option would place a barrier south of the highway farther away from urban areas, keeping the elk further in the foothills and in a more natural environment.
While this would require many private easements, few driveways or roads would be crossed, Smith said in the release. There would also be the opportunity to develop a nice elk viewing area off Happy Valley Road.
The viewing area likely would be placed on the Keeler family property, which the city of Sequim is in the process of purchasing for a passive use park.
The costs for each option will be discussed during the meeting.
Past estimates have placed the fencing costs at anywhere from
$1 million to $3 million, depending on the length of the fence and the amount of private land the agencies would need to buy for a fence easement.
The co-managers are investigating funding options and state Fish and Wildlife is exploring a capital budget request of $1 million to $1.5 million from the state Legislature.
It should be noted however, that herd management currently costs (the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife) and the (Jamestown SKlallam Tribe) more than $100,000 per year, Smith said. As urbanization continues, the cost of herd management will continue to increase.
Although not a huge part of the overall price tag, the team is looking into ways to provide additional quality forage resources in areas behind the proposed fence line.
That way the herd members will be enticed to stay south, rather than try to return north to harvest some of the Sequim-area agriculture.
This plan is a long-term part of the solution to keep this wild, free-ranging elk herd a part of the Sequim area landscape, Smith said.
A public meeting on possible Dungeness Roosevelt elk herd fencing plans is scheduled for July 30 at 6 p.m. in the Guy Cole Convention Center at Carrie Blake Park, 202 Blake Ave.

Heat Causing Death At Shocking Rate On the Field
March 12, 2012 in Player Safety by Football NW
It is in the news every year from August through about October. The increase in football hat related death, particularly in High School, is hitting record numbers of young athletes. And it is sad as it is totally preventable.
According to a new study out of the University of Georgia Deaths directly attributed to heat increased three-fold between 1994 and 2009, according to the study.
Researchers studied the trend by building a detailed database over a 30 year period including the temperature, humidity and time of day, along with the height, weight and position of each of the 58 players who died of hyperthermia during the study period.
The results indicated that 86% of the players that died were linemen. A sirens cry for coaches and trainers to change the way we handle the training regimen of the big boys.
The 300% increase in the last decade has some speculating that weather patterns have changed and that the increase in humid days is to blame. Others see the correlation between football heat related deaths and an earlier start to the school year.
Kids are less active in today's culture and when Summer work outs begin, especially two-a-days, it is often too hot to be out there. Moving practices into the early AM hours to beat the heat has helped some but many experts point to the facts that heat is only part of the issues. Humidity as we know plays an even bigger role and is often at a high point in the morning.
The study by the staff at UGA also documented the meteoric rise in size of our High School athletes. We know that mass can lead to problems during these period of high exertion as cooling the body and protecting it from hyperthermia takes longer and is just more difficult.
Georgia in fact lead the country in heat related deaths with 6 so the UGA researchers seem extra motivated to get to the bottom of what can be done and are working very hard to do just that.
The study found interestingly that the morning heat index was much higher in the last 15 years of the study then it was during the first 15 years and we know the two are correlated.
"In general, on days the deaths occurred, the temperature was hotter and the air more humid than normal local conditions," said UGA climatologist Andrew Grundstein, who is the study's senior author.
In Oregon the OSAA (Oregon Schools Activity Association) has had stringent rules which make it a violation for any team to practice on days when the Heat Index ( A mathematical calculation that looks at humidity and heat in combination) is beyond acceptable limits.
The OSAA provides a heat index calculator online which can be found right here. OSAA HEAT INDEX . The OSAA is very forward thinking and even though heat is not a known factor it is not unusual for last July and the months of August to have concurrent days well into the high 90′s or 100 degrees.
We have a call into the WIAA in Washington but have not received a return call as of yet but it seems they hold their coaches and programs to the same sort of standards. A link will be posted as soon as possible there as well.
Changes Are Needed:
Every State has to have Heat Index Rules like Oregon and because we all need to be held accountable. This is a game we are talking about. Any program that is willing to put the game before player safety on any level including this heat related death epidemic is going to be in some serious trouble. Our Coaches are trying to operate in a tougher and tougher environment. Having guidelines makes it easier for them to stay on course and ensure player safety and we need to support them in ever way possible.
Many are suggesting that moving the beginning of the school year to early or mid September would be the best fit and have many other benefits. This would let families enjoy the best weather months for outdoor activities, trips, and rest. Overall by starting the football season later we could insure the safety of many of these kids.
Programs also need to pay careful attention to the way they train their players. Expecting the big kids to run 120 or 240 yard "gassers" and hang with the skill players in sweltering heat and humidity is foolish. Those same kids can gain as much or more benefit running 10 yard bursts which better resembles the type of physical regimen they will need to have on the field.
We have to be smarter and adapt to these conditions and to educate the kids as to the signs of the onset of heat stroke and Hyperthermia. Another reason of course to have a trainer at every practice and game and to have chilled towels, misters, and ice on hand. Having a Trainer for every team is not longer a luxury but a necessity and we have to support our kids and our Coaches by having the trainer there to be the go to person on these and other health related issues.
Bottom line is we that we have to do everything and anything we can to stem this problem. Heat related deaths are 100% preventable. Therefore it should be the goal of every team to never have to be faced with heat related death or even severe illness.
A great PDF Presentation on the topic is right here as well.

Hello from North Carolina!

Hello from North Carolina!
Hi There all,
Im from North Carolina and just got back from my first trip to Africa with my wife (it was our Honeymoon). Anyways we both have fallen in love with the place and before we were even out of the bush we were planning our next trip back! Next time I go I plan on having a rifle or bow accompanying me for sure.
I have been a Whitetail hunter in North Carolina all my life and have had the chance to do a bit of hog hunting down in Florida the past few years and have been quite enjoying the more active hunt. When we were on safari in South Africa I knew in an instant that I would want to return again and again.
For now I think I will start with a Plains game safari but I would one day like to be able to chase a Cape Buffalo around. That's my goal to work for for the next few years. Have started reading some threads about calibers and what not on here and found some really good information so I figured I better join in.
Cannot wait to here some more stories and great advice!

Ah! yes I can see I have already miss spoken on here. Our trip was strictly wildlife viewing. All the perserves we visited were nonhunting. The only things that had to worry about being killed at my hands were the other drivers on the roads for the first several kilometers I had the rental car for. It was still great though. Im considering it my scouting trip. Next time I will be hunting though for sure!

The end of the coin-operated laundry?
Sure, saving water is great and all, and everybody loves the environment, but a new technology coming out of Leeds University might allow for millions of apartment dwellers to finally have their own washing machine and dryer.
I don't know about the U.K., but here in the States, I've found many apartments simply are not set up for installing a washer and dryer. Landlords typically pay the water bill, so even if the infrastructure is there, the enthusiasm for laundry capabilities usually is not.
All that is set to change if this new washing machine works as … Read more

Hepatitis is a general term that simply means inflammation of the liver. There are many different causes of hepatitis in children.
Megan Butler, MD, an expert in pediatric hepatology at Duke, explains what hepatitis is and how it is treated.
-- Dennis Clements MD, PhD, MPH
Hepatitis may be sudden onset (acute) or chronic (long standing). There is a wide range of clinical finding with hepatitis depending on the severity of the inflammation.
Hepatitis may be mild and self-limiting and resolve with no treatment, or it may become chronic and lead to liver failure requiring liver transplant.
If the cause of the hepatitis can be treated quickly, the liver is likely to recover fully.
Hepatitis has numerous causes. The following is a short list of possible causes of hepatitis and some examples of each:
The symptoms of hepatitis are similar regardless of the cause of inflammation.
Initially your child may have non-specific flu-like symptoms including fever, fatigue, muscle aches, vomiting, diarrhea and rash. Abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), and dark urine may occur. A doctor may notice enlargement of the liver on exam.
As hepatitis becomes chronic, the liver may actually become smaller as inflammation is replaced by scarring (fibrosis) of the liver. Extensive scarring of the liver can lead to cirrhosis.
The liver may be unable to produce the proteins needed for normal body functions. This can lead to swelling of the abdomen with fluid (ascites), fluid accumulation of the legs, enlargement of the spleen, or easy bleeding and bruising.
Varices may develop. These are enlarged veins in the esophagus, stomach, intestine, and other organs that may produce life-threatening bleeding. Severe hepatitis may lead to problems with other organ systems such as lung, kidney, and central nervous system as well.
It is important to seek medical attention if you notice yellowing of your child's eyes or skin. Your doctor will likely obtain laboratory testing to identify the extent of liver involvement as well as measures of the function of the liver.
They will also send tests to determine the cause of the hepatitis. They may obtain radiology studies of the liver (ultrasound, MRI, etc.).
At times, a biopsy of the liver is most informative. This is a procedure where a piece of liver tissue is obtained to be evaluated under a microscope.
Treatment for hepatitis involves largely supportive therapy. Medications may be used to correct any abnormalities associated with liver dysfunction. Your child may be admitted to the hospital for observation or treatment.
Severe cases of hepatitis can cause significant dysfunction and be life threatening. These patients are critically ill and require careful monitoring in the intensive care unit. They may be placed on a ventilator to support breathing. They may require dialysis to support kidney function.
Medications and other techniques may be needed to maintain neurologic status. Significant bleeding is a risk with severe hepatitis and may require a procedure or surgery to stabilize.
If the underlying cause of hepatitis can be found, therapy may be direct toward that as well. In severe cases, liver transplant may be an option.
Prognosis for hepatitis is extremely variable. Some cases are transient mild elevation of liver enzymes that resolve with no intervention. These patients will typically have no further episodes of hepatitis and no future liver problems.
Other cases of hepatitis can lead to chronic hepatitis. These patients need to be followed by a pediatric gastroenterologist or pediatric hepatologist (liver doctor) and their liver function followed closely. They may need medications to maintain liver function, but otherwise can be fairly healthy and active. They may be at risk for liver cancers later in life. Severe cases may lead to liver failure.
It is important to see your doctor immediately if you think your child has any symptoms of hepatitis. Severe cases of hepatitis need to be evaluated by a pediatric liver transplant center as soon as possible.

Title: | Alma, Corazon y Vida ("Soul, Heart and Life") |
Project Director: | Emma Torres |
Target Population: | Hispanic/Latino |
Health Issues: | Heart Disease and Stroke, Obesity and Overweight |
Age Group: | Children, Adolescents, Adults |
The overall goals of the Soul, Heart and Life Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Program are to decrease the risk factors for heart disease and stroke, including the health risks and implications of obesity and overweight among farm worker families; and increase farmworker families' access and utilization of culturally and linguistically sensitive health care services.
The project focuses on farm working families, with particular emphasis on women and children who reside in the rural farm worker communities of San Luis, Gadsden, Somerton, Yuma, Welton, Tacna and Dateland, in Yuma County Arizona. Trained Promotoras are utilized to reach and provide cardiovascular disease education to the target population. "Intensive Interventions," involving completion of the Su Corazon, Su Vida Curriculum (developed by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute), are conducted in participants' homes, at local churches, and at community centers. The curriculum includes such topics as: Who's at Risk of CVD; Staying Physically Active; Maintaining a Healthy Weight; Eating Healthier for your Heart; and Enjoying a Tobacco Free Life. Promotoras also contact farm workers in the agricultural fields and agricultural pick-up sites, as well as community events, school migrant parent meetings, or other farm worker gathering places and provide brief one-on-one or group interventions. Other project activities include health fairs, where participants are screened for high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure and body mass index; recruited for intensive educational sessions; and, if necessary, provided referrals and assistance in accessing medical services. Promotoras encourage participation in physical activities, such as low impact aerobics and walking clubs, encourage formation of weight maintenance clubs, and refer participants to smoking cessation classes. The program is promoted through flyers, brochures, and local radio and televison Public Service Announcement, and community talk shows.

The ground-support facilities commonly known as FBOs (for fixed-base operations) represent a critical link in the private aviation chain. They provide aircraft fueling, hangars and parking tie-downs, cleaning and water replenishment, meeting spaces, catering facilities and, at some locations, maintenance services.
Buyers' Guide
June 26, 2013
As soon as its first owner departs from the manufacturer's delivery center, a new airplane technically becomes used (or preowned). For various reasons, however, 10 years after an aircraft's final production date is generally considered the milestone separating "newer" used business aircraft from "older" ones.
June 26, 2013
Two corporate aircraft runway accidents in recent years underscore the importance of understanding your aviation insurance policy and communicating key details to all pertinent parties. The 2007 accidents—in Nova Scotia, Canada, and Santa Barbara, California—resulted in no serious passenger injuries but caused millions of dollars' worth of damage.

Interest rates remain at historic lows, in part due to the Federal Reserve Bank's continued efforts to keep them there. Doesn't this mean that you should finance your next business jet purchase?
June 26, 2013
Some new or dramatically upgraded business jets have recently been certified, and manufacturers anticipate FAA approval for 19 more models over the next several years. Assuming the global economy improves, demand for them should be strong.
Here's a look at the latest bizjet crop.

Business jet travelers are passionate about their aviation choices. You can tell from the strong and contradictory opinions they offer when you ask them about the relative merits of charter, jet cards and fractional aircraft ownership or the companies that provide these services.

Think of buying an airplane as an exercise akin to building a house or purchasing an old one.

Is flying privately an economically sound idea or is it just a wonderful way to travel?
The answer depends a lot on your circumstances, but consider the following cost comparisons for two hypothetical trips by car, airliner and private aircraft. The numbers explain why, even in a down economy, the opportunities offered by business aviation remain attractive.
August 7, 2012
Jet cards, introduced just over a decade ago as bait for fractional-ownership programs, are now the access option of choice for many business aviation users. The cards are even finding a place in the wallets of numerous aircraft owners and dedicated charter customers.

Pollutants like carbon dioxide trap heat in our atmosphere and keep it from entering space. They cause increases in temperature that are destroying our planet before our very eyes. For the first time in human history, this past year, the daily average of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere surpassed the dangerous threshold of 400 parts per million as measured on top of the Mauna Lao in Hawaii. The last time that happened was 3 to 5 million years ago when human beings did not exist.
A worldwide consensus of peer-reviewed published climatologists attribute the dramatic increase, unparalleled in previous cycles before the industrial revolution, to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Some of these scientists fear that, even if we do the impossible, that is, stop using fossil fuels entirely right now , we may have already loaded the dice in a way that could threaten the extinction of civilization as we know it.
Unlike the legend about Nero, we are not just sitting around fiddling while Rome burns. No, we are supporting the arsonists and obstructing the firemen. On May 10, while America was fixated on the Cleveland horror, the Jodi Arias trial, and Benghazi , hardly anyone was aware or cared that we had passed the 400 part per million threshold.
On that day, politicians in Washington, who are always telling us they are so worried about our grandchildren, were boycotting a vote on President Obama's pick to head the Environmental Protection Agency, while others called for the elimination of the EPA.
When the full effects of our planetary negligence are on full display, the national debt will be the least of the problems we have bequeathed to our grandchildren. They will wonder why, when we could have done something to avert the calamity we caused them, we were all dismissing climate change as a hoax and were whistling along with Bobby McFerrin to the tune of "Don't Worry, be Happy." And all the while "Jesus wept."

Tax totals
Many small businesses have software--or even outside companies--that handle employee payroll. Businesses with very few employees, however, may find that they can still manage payroll by hand. Vinny Federal Withholding Tax is a basic program that calculates appropriate payroll withholdings based on gross pay, pay period, and dependents. This is by no means a full-featured payroll solution, but for a quick withholding calculator, it works fine.
The program's interface is plain and pretty self-explanatory. Users enter the gross salary and any additional income or withholdings, select the length of the pay period and the employee's marital status, and … Read more

The INNODB_SYS_INDEXES
table provides status
information about InnoDB
indexes, equivalent to
the information from the SYS_INDEXES
table in
the InnoDB
data dictionary.
Table 20.8 INNODB_SYS_INDEXES
Column name | Description |
INDEX_ID | An identifier for each index that is unique across all the databases in an instance. |
NAME | The name of the index. User-created indexes have names in all lowercase.
Indexes created implicitly by InnoDB
have names in all lowercase. The index names are not
necessarily unique. Indexes created implicitly by
InnoDB have consistent names:
PRIMARY for a primary key index,
GEN_CLUST_INDEX for the index
representing a primary key when one is not specified,
ID_IND , FOR_IND for
validating a foreign key constraint, and
TABLE_ID | An identifier representing the table associated with the index; the same
value from INNODB_SYS_TABLES.TABLE_ID . |
TYPE | A numeric identifier signifying the kind of index. 0 = Secondary Index, 1 = Clustered Index, 2 = Unique Index, 3 = Primary Index, 32 = Full-text Index. |
N_FIELDS | The number of columns in the index key. For the
GEN_CLUST_INDEX indexes, this value is
0 because the index is created using an artificial value
rather than a real table column. |
PAGE_NO | The root page number of the index B-tree. For full-text indexes, the
PAGE_NO field is unused and set to -1
(FIL_NULL ) because the full-text index
is laid out in several B-trees (auxiliary tables). |
SPACE | An identifier for the tablespace where the index resides. 0 means the
tablespace. Any other number represents a table
created in
mode with a separate .ibd file. This
identifier stays the same after a
TRUNCATE TABLE statement.
Because all indexes for a table reside in the same
tablespace as the table, this value is not necessarily
unique. |

(WMC-TV) - A Mid-South florist who volunteered in Moore helped tornado victims, and prepared floral arrangements for the memorial service last week.
The florist along with a group volunteers are back from Moore, Oklahoma, but they already are planning for their second trip.
"It was sorted individually on long tables with signs so when people came in they got boxes or bags and just went shopping," said volunteer Carole Hedrick describing her work in Oklahoma.
North Mississippians poured their hearts out.
"It's just kind of overwhelming that within like two or three days how many donations were made and how much stuff we were able to take," said volunteer Brooke Pollard.
A big truck was donated, too, but people may not realize just how big of a help it was.
Hedrick, who is also a florist, was on the trip and asked to help make floral arrangements for the Memorial Service where President Obama would be in attendance.
All of the flowers needed a way to get to the ceremony.
"They were scrambling around trying to figure out how we were going to get all the flowers there, and we had that 26 foot Penske truck," said Hendrick.
After cooking meals and passing out donations, the group ministered to victims picking through the pieces.
"We got around and started praying for him, and next thing you know, he starts praying for us," said Hendrick.
Some groups may pull out in the coming weeks, but Hedrick, Brooke Pollard and others are planning another trip to hand out school supplies as the town tries to rebuild.
"After a couple of weeks I feel like that's going to fade off, and they're still going to have messed up homes and destruction, so they still need help," said Pollard.
