ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 47) - Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton has signed a bill that legalizes gay marriage, making the state the 12th to do so.
Cheering spectators filled the south lawn of the state Capitol for the outdoor ceremony, with rainbow and American flags fluttering in a sweltering breeze.
Dayton thanked legislators for political courage before signing the bill.
His signature came just a day after the state Senate approved it.
Same-sex couples will be able to get married starting August 1.

Abu Garcia pro Dave Lefebre caught 46-pounds, 12-ounces of bass to claim the 2009 Toyota Texas Bass Classic, which was held on Lake Conroe, Texas. Lefebre's three-day bag was enough to earn him a share of the $500,000 purse while edging fellow pro Andy Montgomery by a sheer 4 ounces.
"I was very fortunate to come out here and put together a solid performance," said Lefebre. "Being a consistent angler in a tournament is tough to do. You don't want to go out and bleed your best spot early and be left with nothing down the road. I was able to milk the spots that I located and it paid off. Abu Garcia Revo reels have been the most steady and durable reels that I have fished. They continue to perform day in and day out."
This event highlights the conservation efforts of the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, the other big winner from the weekend tournament and music festival. TPWD was presented with a $250,000 donation prior to the final day's weigh-in. The donation will go towards youth fishing and outreach programs across Texas.

Thousands forced from their homes in Calgary
More than 100,000 people have been forced to leave their homes after heavy rain brought severe flooding to the Canadian city of Calgary.
Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi said officials believe that the water levels may have reached their peak.
"We've sat at the same level for many, many hours now," Nenshi said. "There is one scenario that would it go even higher than this, so you'll either see the Bow river continue at this level for many hours or you will see it grow even higher and we're prepared for that eventuality."

The financial fraud perpetrated by Satyam Computer Services executives could trigger near-term disruptions across the outsourcing and IT industries. Ramalinga Raju, the company's founder and chairman, resigned last week. He has admitted to inflating Satyam's cash balances and the credit amounts it was owed while understating its liabilities. This scandal has many ramifications for Satyam's customers as well as those of other outsourcing companies.
[ InfoWorld bloggers Ephraim Schwartz and Martin Heller weigh in -- with differing opinions -- on what the Satyam debacle means for the future of outsourcing. | Keep up on the latest tech news headlines at InfoWorld News, or subscribe to the Today's Headlines newsletter. ]
1. The challenges of transitioning Satyam's services to new vendors
As of this writing, the viability of business-continuity efforts under way at Satyam (including a government takeover of the company's board and rumors of a bailout) remains highly uncertain. Following last week's announcement of the fraud, some Satyam customers have started shifting engagements to other outsourcing vendors. However, the inherent challenges of transferring processes between vendors -- a complex undertaking under ordinary circumstances -- will be compounded by the following potential conditions:
-- Transition timelines that are inordinately compressed because of Satyam's questionable longevity
-- Contractual disputes regarding the exercise of termination rights
-- Inaccessibility to a legacy vendor preoccupied with its preservation
Accordingly, customers should prepare for exceptional disruptions to steady-state services during vendor transition, particularly if Satyam had been the single source for such services. These challenges may be compounded further if Indian vendors observe recent requests from the influential trade organization Nasscom to refrain from hiring Satyam employees.
2. The emergence of build-operate-transfer programs in response to challenges with captive entities
Satyam customers that currently operate captive entities in India may wish to have these entities hire the Satyam personnel engaged on their accounts. However, such efforts may run afoul of the customers' contractual nonsolicitation obligations to Satyam, and renegotiations of these provisions, if protracted, would not be feasible.

Packaging Update: Second Quarter 2012
Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC
This quarter's Packaging Update, produced by Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC (DCF), summarizes the most recent transactions within this industry along with information on the most active buyers, current transaction valuation multiples and an overview of the public market's perception of the industry.
Highlights include:
- Average acquisition deal size through Q2 2012 was $520 million, which remains higher than the $499 and $316 million values in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
- There were 10 acquisitions of U.S. targets by foreign buyers, a significant increase from Q2 2011 when three of these transactions occurred.
- Environmental stipulations and changing consumer requirements are expected to drive product innovations in the near future. The development of new packaging formats that utilize less raw material, function optimally, and are easily processed using eco-friendly production equipment will remain the ultimate goal.
- Rigid plastic packaging has been one of the more attractive segments of the packaging industry. Blow molders, in particular, are becoming increasingly popular recent acquisition targets, with the second quarter seeing two of the biggest blow molders acquired by private equity buyers.

Many of us wish we could go back in time. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close tells the story of a young boy, Oskar, who seeks to find a way to live in a new world without his father. Flashbacks are used to bring an element of nostalgia, but fails to create an overly memorable film.
Home Theater Forum's MattCR reviewed the Blu-ray release and had these thoughts:
Shots of scenery, landscape and close ups of the cast are extremely well done and it's hard to ask more of a high definition transfer. That's not to say that it's perfect though.
Dialog is crisp and clear, and ambient noises and off set cues fill up the room and help flesh out a great number of moments in the film. Rear channels and LFE are used fantastically in this DTS-HD 5.1 mix in that the small sounds of the city come to life giving Oskar's journey that sense of realness.

Technically, the term swine flu refers to influenza in pigs. Occasionally, pigs transmit influenza viruses to people, mainly to hog farm workers and veterinarians. Less often, someone infected occupationally passes the infection to others.
The human respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus H1N1 — popularly known as swine flu — was first recognized in spring 2009, near the end of the usual Northern Hemisphere flu season.
A few months after the first cases of swine flu were reported, rates of confirmed H1N1-related illness were increasing in almost all parts of the world. As a result, the World Health Organization declared the infection a global pandemic. That official designation remained in place for more than a year, until the pandemic was declared over in August 2010. Currently, H1N1 is still circulating in humans as a seasonal flu virus and is included in the seasonal flu vaccine.
Another strain of swine flu — H3N2 variant — has also made its way into humans. This flu contains a gene from the H1N1 virus. So far, the virus has only been transmitted through human exposure to swine, not from human to human.
Swine flu symptoms in humans are similar to those of infection with other flu strains:
Swine flu symptoms develop about one to three days after you're exposed to the virus and continue for about eight days, starting one day before you get sick and continuing until you've recovered.
When to see a doctor
It's not necessary to see a doctor if you're generally healthy and you develop swine flu symptoms, such as fever, cough and body aches. Do call your doctor, however, if you have flu symptoms and you're pregnant or you have a chronic disease, such as emphysema or a heart condition.
Influenza viruses infect the cells lining your nose, throat and lungs. The virus enters your body when you inhale contaminated droplets or transfer live virus from a contaminated surface to your eyes, nose or mouth.
You can't catch swine flu from eating pork.
If you've traveled to an area where lots of people are affected by swine flu H1N1, you may have been exposed to the virus, particularly if you spent time in large crowds.
Swine farmers and veterinarians have the highest risk of true swine flu because of their exposure to pigs. In addition, exposure to swine at seasonal fairs has also been linked to human H3N2 variant infection.
You can't catch swine flu from eating pork.
Influenza complications include:
Most cases of flu, including H1N1 flu, need no treatment other than symptom relief. If you have a chronic respiratory disease, your doctor may prescribe additional medication to decrease inflammation, open your airways and help clear lung secretions.
The antiviral drugs oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza) are sometimes prescribed to reduce the severity of symptoms, but flu viruses can develop resistance to them. Some researchers recommend further study on both of these drugs due to uncertainty about their effects beyond the initial reduction in symptoms.
To make development of resistance less likely and maintain supplies of these drugs for those who need them most, antivirals are reserved for people at high risk of complications.
High-risk groups are those who:
If you come down with any type of flu, these measures may help ease your symptoms:
Consider pain relievers. Use an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others), cautiously. Also, use caution when giving aspirin to children or teenagers. Though aspirin is approved for use in children older than age 2, children and teenagers recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should never take aspirin. This is because aspirin has been linked to Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, in such children.
Remember, pain relievers may make you more comfortable, but they won't make your symptoms go away any faster and may have side effects. Ibuprofen may cause stomach pain, bleeding and ulcers. If taken for a long period or in higher than recommended doses, acetaminophen can be toxic to your liver.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommend flu vaccination for all Americans older than 6 months of age. An H1N1 virus is one component of the seasonal flu shot for 2013-2014. The flu shot also protects against two or three other influenza viruses that are expected to be the most common during the 2013-2014 flu season.
The vaccine will be available as an injection or a nasal spray. The nasal spray is approved for use in healthy people 2 through 49 years of age who are not pregnant.
These measures also help prevent H1N1 swine flu and limit its spread:

77's most creative punk band continues their experimental march across the decades
WireSlim's (333 11th Street, San Francisco, CA) Map it $25
Of the multitude of punk records that dropped in 1977, that most infamous year of youthful musical rebellion, Wire's "Pink Flag" looked furthest into the future while simultaneously embodying the exuberance of excitement of the early days of punk rock. Wire rejected their rock n' roll forbearers as utterly as possible on "Pink Flag" in favor of angular and crunchy blasts that were among the most memorable of the era, before moving onto more experimental compositions later in their career that would pave the way for shoegaze, new wave, and art rock. The band's latest incarnation, after numerous hiatuses, miraculously includes three of the original founding members, including vocalist and primary songwriter Colin Newman.

It's been a good year for this South Carolina beach resort! Palmetto Dunes not only received a number of high profile honors and accolades recognizing everything from our championship Hilton Head golf courses and tennis facilities to our family friendliness and outstanding staff, but we also started several new events that were a great success.
Here's a quick look back at our star-studded 2013:
The Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center was honored to host a number of high-profile state championships for the United States Tennis Association (USTA). In May, seniors from across South Carolina headed to Hilton Head to take home top honors in the USTA South Carolina 40 & Over Championships, formerly known as the Senior Championships. Then in October, we hosted the USTA South Carolina Combo Adult Championships. Our very own Jackie Reynecke, who helped coordinate these events, was also named the South Carolina League Volunteer of the Year for the USTA.
The Tennis Center was featured in the July issue of Tennis Magazine in a large spread about the resort and was recognized again by TennisResortsOnline.com as the No. 9 Top Tennis Resort in the world and No. 4 Top Junior Tennis programs in the world. Plus, the users of TripAdvisor named the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center the No. 1 attraction in Hilton Head.
Our golf courses are always wonderful to play with their varied attributes and amazing layouts, but they were especially regarded this year. The Arthur Hills golf course got a shout-out from Golf Digest magazine as a top Hilton Head course, in an article that also designated the island as a Best Buddies Trip Destination. PGA.com selected the famous oceanfront No. 10 hole at the Robert Trent Jones golf course a "South Carolina dream hole" and we couldn't agree more!
We also launched a brand new golf app for the iPhone and Android, which now has thousands of users. Using your phone, you can check yardage information, book your tee time, set up leader boards and order food at our golf grilles so it's hot and ready when you finish your round. Download it by searching for Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort on your favorite app store.
New Events at Shelter Cove Harbour
Several events made their debut at Shelter Cove Harbour this year to great acclaim. Taste on the Harbour kicked off in March. Due to the event's success, we hosted the event again in October, offering featured menus, drink specials and tastings from Shelter Cove Harbour restaurants on select nights combined with live music from local island bands.
Additionally, Parrot Palooza joined our already very popular HarbourFest summertime event, which celebrated 25 years. Shannon Tanner and the Oyster Reefers, a Jimmy Buffet tribute band, entertained attendees on Friday evenings with island style music as they danced and sang the night away while the sun set over Broad Creek.
Capstone Award
The finish off the year with a bang, Travel + Leisure magazine named Palmetto Dunes to its Top 25 World's Best Family Getaways in its November issue. This made our resort the highest-ranking in South Carolina. The awards are based on a survey of the magazine's readers. "Whether it's reeling in a trophy redfish, learning how to properly swing a golf club or riding the waves on a surfboard, Palmetto Dunes has so much to offer families year round," said Brad Marra, assistant vice president of resort operations for Palmetto Dunes.
What's coming next year? More good things! Palmetto Dunes will be launching a brand new device-responsive website, using the latest online booking technology and designed for ease of use by our wonderful guests. For golfers, the Jones course will be adding new GPS-enabled touch screen systems for all golf carts, which offers course fly-overs, yardage, hole information and more. There's so much more in store… you'll just have to come visit us to see it all!
For more information about vacationing at Palmetto Dunes, visit us at www.palmettodunes.com or call us at 866-744-7558 to get started booking your spring or summer Hilton Head getaway.
Many school systems around the country have switched to year round school, which often results in a longer fall break for kids, sometimes up to two weeks. But whether you have two weeks, one week or just a long weekend for fall break, spending it in Hilton Head is a good choice!
The weather is ideal with high temperatures in the 70s and low 80s, and sports fans will love our choice of outdoor activities. Plus, if a certain someone in your family just can't miss their favorite team's football game, we've got plenty of places for that, too!
The Sun 'N Fun Island Escape and the Ultimate Family Package are perfect for families looking for an adventurous beach getaway. The packages start with a minimum three nights of accommodations and include bike rentals, kayak rentals, spa services, golf and more starting at $59 per person per night.
Adventure-seekers will love our Outdoor Adventure Package that lets you kayak, bike, play tennis and enjoy a dolphin cruise. It includes three nights of accommodations, a two-hour kayak rental through our 11-mile inland lagoon system, three days of bike rentals to explore Hilton Head's 50 miles of paved bike trails, a cruise from Shelter Cove Marina to see Hilton Head's friendliest mammal, the dolphin, and two hours of tennis court time daily.
Fishing in the resort's 11-mile lagoon heats up in autumn when the red fish start to spawn. The resort has stocked the lagoon with more than 6000 red fish, and there's even a 60-plus pound red fish that has been nicknamed "Elvis". See if you can catch him! Fishing is catch-and-release, and fishing charters are available through Hilton Head Outfitters.
Golfers can hit the greens on one of three award-winning Hilton Head golf courses at the resort, all recently aerified and looking great. We also offer fall golf packages that combine private instruction, tee times and accommodations, such as the Golf Stay & Play Package. The Group Golf Getaway is ideal for friends and family of 12 or more and includes three nights of accommodations, three rounds of golf, as well as discounts on all resort activities and pro shop purchases.
The fall schedule is filled with plenty of tennis action at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center, named the Top Tennis Resort in the Carolinas by Tennis Magazine. The Banana Open Challenge October 4-6, the USTA On-Campus Fall Invitational October 11-13, the USTA South Carolina Combo Adult and 55 & Over Championship October 17-21, and the Annual Wild Wing Café Nutty Buddy Tennis Classic November 1-3 offer plenty of chances to be a spectator or to play in these tennis tournaments.
And where can your family member go to catch some football action? Hilton Head Island has plenty of sports bars, and right here within the resort, Big Jim's BBQ, Burgers and Pizza restaurant located on the Jones golf course offers plenty of big screen TVs, so they won't have to miss a single pass.
We hope to see you in Hilton Head this fall! Give us a call at 866-744-7558 to plan your fall vacation to Hilton Head Island today.
We love kids here at Palmetto Dunes and we like to keep them busy with our many kid-friendly activities like surfing, tennis, kayaking, swimming and fishing. But golf is especially near and dear to our heart since we have three amazing and varied Hilton Head golf courses all inside our beautiful resort.
PGA America and the National Golf Course Owners' Association have declared July Family Golf Month in an effort to promote golf as a fun, family recreational activity that lets you spend uninterrupted quality time together.
"Getting the family together for a round of golf, whether it's nine or 18 holes, is a great outdoor activity that gives parents the opportunity to have uninterrupted conversations and quality time with their children," says PGA of America President Ted Bishop. "It's also a great way for the entire family to enjoy golf's health and wellness benefits while creating memories for a lifetime."
So how can your family enjoy golf at our South Carolina golf resort? Ah, let us count the ways!
Family Golf School
We offer three-day, two-hour private golf lessons designed specifically for your family at our Hilton Head Family Golf School. We'll meet everyone at exactly their skill level and help them improve their game. We love this video showing a mom and her daughters during their Family Golf School lesson!
Kids Play Free
To encourage our golfers to teach the game to their kids, we let kids play free at the Robert Trent Jones Hilton Head golf course and the Arthur Hills golf course after 4 p.m. with an adult paying regular rate. This is a great opportunity to expose your kids to the game and enjoy some one-on-one time with each other!
Junior Tees
We've also installed permanent junior tees on our Robert Trent Jones golf course, and the George Fazio course caters to juniors with markings of 150 yards or less. This makes it easier and more fun for junior golfers!
Junior Golf Lessons
We also have a variety of Hilton Head golf lessons for juniors, including our Little Swingers program designed for ages 3-7. Director of Instruction Doug Weaver teaches the game of golf while singing songs with the kids.
Our Junior Golf Clinics for ages 6-18 focus on golf fundamentals like golf shots, etiquette and rules. Weaver covers three different shots every day, and four-time attendees are rewarded with a Junior Golf School Manual.
Lastly, if you have a junior gofer who's top of the class, enroll him or her in the Advanced Juniors Classes for ages 8-18. These kids get to play with a pro and get instruction as they go!
Make your love of golf a family affair at Palmetto Dunes! To sign up for any of the above golf lessons, schools or clinics or for any questions, please call us at 866-744-7558.
There are just certain things you MUST do on any vacation and of course, here on Hilton Head Island, we think there are a few items that should be on every visitor's bucket list. Here is the Palmetto Dunes' Hilton Head Bucket List for every island vacationer:
1) Get your picture taken at King Neptune Statue at Shelter Cove Harbour – This iconic statue at Shelter Cove Harbour, just across from the resort, is actually a sundial. But a pic with this guy is a favorite of vacationers, so add it to your list and post it on Facebook (while you're there, post it on our Facebook, too)!
2) Eat at the Dunes House – Open only to resort guests and property owners, the Dunes House is a perk you can't pass up. It's a restaurant and bar situated right on the beach with delicious fish tacos and yummy frozen cocktails.
3) Catch a fish – Head out in our 11-mile inland lagoon with Captain Trent and see if you can catch a "big red" (reddrum or red fish). Kids, try for a flounder!
4) Get a beanie hat and have it signed by Shannon Tanner – If you visit during the summer, head over to HarbourFest at Shelter Cove Harbour Monday-Thursday at 6:30 or 8 p.m. and catch the famous family performer Shannon Tanner. You must hear him sing "Your Hair Had a Party Last Night" and then you have to get your very own beanie hat (like his) and have him sign it with an inspirational message.
5) Eat the cinnamon rolls at the General Store – There's no better way to start your morning in Hilton Head than with these sweet pastries from the Palmetto Dunes General Store. Ride your bike over and eat up! Just get plenty of napkins…
6) Try stand up paddleboarding – This is one of our most popular water sports that we offer at Hilton Head Outfitters, located inside the resort. Get lessons from our paddleboard instructor or let him take you out on a group tour of our lagoon. You'll work your abs, burn lots of calories and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature.
7) Spot a dolphin – Keep your eye out when at the beach for our favorite friendly mammals. You'll likely see their fins pop up out of the water. They also often swim up into inlets and tidal creeks, which may be a quieter place to find them during the busier months.
8) Try for a hole in one – Head to one of our three championship Hilton Head golf courses and see if you can hit a hole in one. You may improve your odds with a golf lesson from our super fun director of golf instruction Doug Weaver.
9) Try your hand at tennis – All guests of the resort enjoy two hours of free tennis court time daily with each night's accommodation, so there's no reason not to see if you and tennis are a "match." We also offer tennis clinics and lessons every day, along with private instruction.
10) Take a nighttime beach walk – Grab a flashlight and take a moonlit beach walk. You'll enjoy seeing another side of Hilton Head by night. Just keep watch for sea turtle nests, mamas or babies and stay out of their way. Light can disorient them so keep flashlights off if you spot them.
What's on your Hilton Head bucket list? What did we miss? For more information about tennis, golf, accommodations or other activities, visit us at www.palmettodunes.com or give us a call at 866-744-7558.
When you vacation to Hilton Head as a family, there are lots of activities you can do together from swimming and riding bikes to hanging out at the beach and seeing the sights. But here at Palmetto Dunes, we like to see families get active together and we offer a variety of ways to do that, including our Hilton Head Family Golf School.
Perhaps Mom and Dad could use a few tips to improve their golf game while the kids may just be getting started on their golfing career. Whatever level your family, we'll tailor our golf school to your needs and skill level. Our own head of golf instruction, Doug Weaver, is great with kids and teaches them moves like "closing the car door" and "alligator arms" to help them learn golf in a fun and engaging way.
Watch Doug teach golf to kids in this fun video:
Our Family Golf School spans three days with two hours of private lessons daily. That gives you plenty of time to do lots of other fun Hilton Head activities in addition to learning golf.
The golf school includes a video analysis sent by email, on-course instruction, rules and etiquette lessons, use of the school's video lending library, take home materials, lunch daily, free range privileges plus 9 holes of golf daily on a space-available basis, and 25% discount on all rentals, such as bikes, kayaks and canoes, from Hilton Head Outfitters.
Our golf school is limited to five participants and immediate family members only.
We can't wait to see how your family looks on the course after Family Golf School! To sign up for our program, please give us a call at 866-744-7558.
Here in Hilton Head where most days the skies are blue and the weather is mild, there is plenty to do to keep active during the winter months. Here are our top 10 winter activities on Hilton Head Island:
1) Polish your golf game – Our Hilton Head golf academy offers a variety of classes for golfers all winter long. Learn to play more carefree like Bubba Watson, improve your mental golf game or enjoy daily 50-minute clinics on different skills. See our winter golf academy schedule. Or just head out for a round with some pals. Winter is a great time to play golf in Hilton Head, as the crowds of summer are long gone, making for better pace of play, and temperatures are mild.
2) Ride a bike! – With some 50 miles of paved bike paths on Hilton Head Island, there's no excuse not to get out and enjoy the beauty of our island. Hilton Head Outfitters offers Hilton Head bike rentals for every member of your family, including cruisers, kiddie carts, tag-a-longs and child seats.
3) Get in a cardio workout by playing tennis – Tennis gets the blood pumping for sure and the milder weather makes for more comfortable outdoor play. Try a Hilton Head tennis lesson from our Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center or take it up a notch with our Cardio Tennis class offered during the winter months on holidays.
4) Shop! – There are plenty of unique boutiques and stores on Hilton Head to make sure you head home with a one-of-a-kind souvenir of your Hilton Head vacation. Try Shelter Cove Harbour waterfront shops or shop our Hilton Head golf pro shops and tennis pro shop for some great finds.
5) Kayak or canoe the lagoon – Plan to rent a kayak or canoe from Hilton Head Outfitters and head out mid afternoon, when the weather should be at its warmest. Enjoy a peaceful tour of our 11-mile inland lagoon system, take in the wildlife and see Palmetto Dunes in an entirely new way.
6) Take a walk on the beach and look for shells – With fewer people visiting Hilton Head in the winter, you'll enjoy a quiet stroll and have a better chance of finding some great shells. Keep your eye out for dolphins in the surf and see what kind of treasures have washed ashore. Here are more tips on beachcombing in Hilton Head.
7) Catch a redfish! – Fall and winter are some of the best times to catch a "big red" and our team of fishermen can help you do it. Whether you take an offshore or inshore Hilton Head fishing charter, learn to fish from the pros and see if you can earn bragging rights to a trophy red.
8) Eat oysters – Here in the south, we say that months ending in "r" are the best ones to eat oysters, so before December winds down, take this last opportunity! There's a fine art to eating an oyster (or you can just slurp it down, of course J) whether you enjoy it with a touch of lemon, hot sauce or just plain!
9) Go birdwatching – The birds are out in winter, and in fact, during Hilton Head's last Christmas bird count they totaled up more species than ever before! Grab some binoculars and head out on a kayak in the lagoon or a Hilton Head boat tour to Daufuskie Island or Pinckney Island Wildlife Refuge for some great birdwatching. More Hilton Head birdwatching tips in the Hilton Head Outfitters blog.
10) Do nothing! After you've done our top 9, why not relax, unwind and do nothing :)? Kick back in your Hilton Head vacation rental from Palmetto Dunes and enjoy an ocean or palm tree view. Grab a good book, a cup of coffee and rest. Ahhh….
Palmetto Dunes offers plenty of packages to help you work in all of these things from our Monthly Stay & Sports Membership to our Spa Packages to Hilton Head tennis packages and Hilton Head golf packages. If we can answer any questions or book you a stay or tee time, please give us a call at 866-744-7558.
A long weekend is on the horizon (Yay!). And we can't think of a better way to spend your days off than on a Labor Day golf getaway to Palmetto Dunes!
Here's a rundown of the things you can do at this ever popular South Carolina golf resort, including plenty of golf but some other Hilton Head activities, as well:
Tee Time
The Hilton Head Celebrity Golf Tournament kicks off Friday Aug. 31, 2012 at our famed Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course, one of our three world-class golf courses. Since 1979, the annual event has raised more than $3.8 million for well-deserving children's charities of the South Carolina Lowcountry.
Celebrities at this year's tournament include actors Richard Schiff of The West Wing and Brian Baumgartner, Kevin from The Office; TV personalities Paul Goodloe of the Weather Channel and Holly Sonders of Golf Channel's Morning Drive; numerous professional athletes and plenty of South Carolina favorites including Bobby Cremins; and George Rogers, NFL running back, University of South Carolina graduate and 1980 Heisman Trophy winner.
While you won't be able to play the Jones course Friday (it will be closed for the tournament), you can certainly go and enjoy the festivities! Or you could plan to play one (or both) of the other golf courses at Palmetto Dunes: the George Fazio Course (called the most challenging course in Hilton Head) and the Arthur Hills Course (with 10 holes on the water!). Of course, the Jones course will be back open on Saturday and Sunday.
We also have a special deal right now on Saturday that you can take advantage of while in town. If you book a tee time after 11 a.m. you get half off resort rates if you use code SSSPECIAL12 and book your tee time online here.
Boogie Down
While HarbourFest fireworks are over for the season, Shannon Tanner hasn't gone home yet! Shannon is a family entertainer, who's been singing and playing music to crowds at Shelter Cove since 1988. Shannon will be performing Friday at 6:30 and 8 p.m. with other live entertainment Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Cappy the Clown will be on hand 6-9 p.m. all weekend and there will be lots of other family activities to do, as well. So bring the whole bunch and experience a new family tradition!
Bike Around Town
Rent a bike from Hilton Head Outfitters, THE place for Hilton Head bike rentals, and explore. Hilton Head Island has more than 50 miles of bike paths that take you beneath live oaks draped with Spanish moss, past creeks and marshes, and close to an assortment of beautiful flowers in bloom.
What's going on Labor Day weekend at Palmetto Dunes? As you can see, a lot! In addition to the events above, be sure to check out our event calendar for more information on daily tennis clinics, golf demonstrations and after-hours activities at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort! Enjoy your long weekend!
We're kicking off 2012 with four wonderful tournaments for all our golf and tennis friends out there. While we know many of you are stuck in snow and ice, why not head to Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort and spend a little time outside in milder temperatures at one of these entertaining events.
On January 21, we'll hold the Martin Luther King Golf Tournament at our Arthur Hills course. Locals will invade our golf course to play in honor of the great Martin Luther King Jr. Next, during the first weekend in February, the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center will host the No-Snow Tennis Classic from the 3rd – 5th of the month. Grab your racquet and head down to Hilton Head for some great tennis play with a guarantee of no snow!
We'll also honor all those in the food and beverage industry in Hilton Head with our annual F&B Golf Tournament on February 16. This will be the tournament's 8th year at our George Fazio course and you can enter now by simply clicking here. This tournament is all about the locals and at least one person from your team needs to be in the food and beverage industry.
The 26th Annual "Luck of the Irish" Doubles Tournament will bring us into March with tennis teams that are sure to please. We hope to see lots of men's, women's and mixed doubles team this year. It's only $45 per person for one event or $55 a person for two events. You can register your doubles team by clicking here and filling out the entry form.
We feel very lucky to have such amazing events happening this winter season and to be able to engage with all the Hilton Head locals and out-of-towners through these events. Whether you "love" tennis or golf, we hope this blog post got you on "par" with some tournaments to enjoy this year!
Our Robert Trent Jones Course was the first golf course built at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort, and it's a favorite of many. In fact readers of Golfweek magazine voted it among their favorite courses in the Southeast. The course offers 18 holes, 11 of which wind alongside an 11-mile lagoon system. The Jones course is most famous for its par-five 10th oceanfront hole, one of only two on the Island.
Built in 1967 by Robert Trent Jones and significantly reconstructed in 2002 by longtime protégé Roger Rulewich, this course aims to please. After reshaping tees, elevating fairways and improving the drainage system, the course re-opened and was named the 2003 Golf Course of the Year by the South Carolina Golf Course Owners Association and is ranked four stars by Golf Digest. The Jones course plays 7,005 yards from the championship tees.
And that's not all! The course also claims the largest pro-shop at Palmetto Dunes, and one of the largest on the Island. From Nike and Adidas to Burberry and Travis Mathew, we have it all. After you purchase those new clubs make sure you hit our free custom club fitting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday! We hope to "tee" you soon.
The weather is starting to cool down which means it's a great time to get a group of friends or bring your loved one on a golf getaway here at Palmetto Dunes. There's no better time to play golf than in the fall here in South Carolina. We have tons of beautiful Hilton Head rental homes and villas that overlook one of our three award winning golf courses but 951 Inverness is a must-see villa!
Remodeled in 2009 and situated on the 12th hole of the George Fazio course, this three-bedroom, three- bath villa is perfect for a group or a family. After a morning on the fairways you can cool off in the community pool that's only a short walk from your villa or chill out by watching TV on the flat screen in the living room!
Make sure to take advantage of our other activities, such as the two hours of free tennis court time and discounted bike rentals, that you receive when you book your villa through Palmetto Dunes. Another great bonus of renting with Palmetto Dunes is that you can enjoy lunch, dinner or mid-afternoon cocktails at The Dunes House!
951 Inverness is ready to make your fall golf outing perfect, so check out its availability, gather up your gang of guys or group of gals and call us at 866.380.1778. Fore!

The Toledo Zoo is asking the public to help choose names for its twin polar bears born back in November. They are expected to go on display in May.
Their mother, 13-year-old Crystal, is caring for the cubs off-exhibit, where the zoo's animal care staff is watching their progress.
The Zoo has narrowed the options to three names for each cub, one male and one female. People can vote for their favorites through the zoo's webpage for the bears.
One option for the female cub is Holly, after prominent polar bear veterinarian Holly Reed. The other choices are the Inuit words Suka (SOO'-kah), meaning "fast," or Tooteqa (TOO'-teh-gah), meaning "wise goddess."
The choices for the male cub are the Inuit words Sakari (sah-KAH'-ree), for "sweet," Desna (DEHZ'-nah), meaning "boss," or Tunerk (TOO'-nerk), the word for "gift."
The Toledo Zoo has set up a webpage for the polar bear cubs: www.toledozoo.org/cubs

Terence Newman - #23 - CB
|5' 10"/ 192 lbs.
|Salina, KS
|Kansas State
|Years played
|2003, 1st round, 5th pick by Cowboys
Key matchup: Steelers run defense vs. Bengals ground game

AFC North Spin cycle: Costly win for Ravens
The Ravens inched further ahead in the AFC North race, but at a huge price with the losses of Lardarius Webb and Ray Lewis.
Browns top Bengals for first win
Rookie Brandon Weeden threw two touchdown passes and the Browns snapped an 11-game losing streak, beating the Bengals 34-24 Sunday.
Key matchup: Browns return game vs. Bengals coverage units
Stopping Browns RS Joshua Cribbs will be a top priority for Cincinnati, PFW's Mike Wilkening writes.
AFC North Spin cycle: Week Five
The Steelers got a win they desperately needed, and they got their running game going, too. More in this week's AFC North Spin cycle.
Bengals place RB Scott on I.R.
The Bengals placed RB Bernard Scott on injured reserve Monday and activated LB Dontay Moch from the suspended list.
Turnovers key Dolphins' win over Cincy
Dolphins S Reshad Jones intercepted Andy Dalton's overthrown pass at midfield with 1:22 left on Sunday, preserving a 17-13 victory over the Bengals.
Bengals' Green playing at elite level
Bengals WR A.J. Green has begun his second NFL season on a tear.
Week Five handicapping column
PFW's Mike Wilkening, 10-5-1 ATS through four weeks, largely sides with underdogs in Week Five, but one favorite also caught his eye.
Newman, Jones pressed into heavy service for Bengals
The Bengals have had to lean on reserve CBs Terence Newman and Adam Jones, and they held up well in the Week Four win at Jacksonville.
AFC North Spin cycle: Week Four
While the Steelers rested in Week Four, the Bengals and Ravens pulled further ahead in the AFC North.
Dalton, Green lead Bengals past Jaguars
Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score, and the Bengals beat the Jaguars 27-10 Sunday for their third consecutive win.
Key matchup: Bengals passing game vs. Jaguars pass defense
Can the Jaguars slow down the Bengals' thriving passing game? It's one of the more interesting story lines of Week Four.
Bengals re-sign S Crocker
The Bengals re-signed S Chris Crocker on Thursday, the team announced.
AFC North Spin cycle: Week Three
In this week's AFC North Spin cycle, we explore the Ravens' soaring passing game and the Steelers' struggling pass rush.
Newman left Sunday's game against Kansas City with a concussion.||||||| Newman was diagnosed with a concussion in the third quarter. The Bengals were already playing without safety Reggie Nelson (hamstring) in the defensive backfield.
Newman has been released by the Dallas Cowboys after nine seasons as a starter.||||||| The team announced the move Tuesday, minutes after free agency began. Newman, who went to the Pro Bowl in 2007 and 2009, started 131 of his 133 games after the Cowboys took him with the fifth overall pick in 2003 out of Kansas State. He leaves with 558 career tackles and 32 interceptions.
Newman is inactive for the Week 2 game at San Francisco.||||||| Newman got hurt in practice when he got tangled with a receiver during pass coverage drills. He later posted on his Twitter account, "A little groin pull and be back for the jets!" Newman was wrong, however.
Newman suffered an apparent groin injury during practice Wednesday, walking gingerly off the field after getting tangled with a receiver during pass coverage drills.||||||| After staying on the ground briefly, Newman slowly walked across the field to the sideline, where he crouched before being tended to by a trainer. He left the field shortly after that. An MRI was planned to determine the severity of the injury.
Newman was active and starting for the Cowboys on Sunday against Detroit despite an ankle injury that had him listed as questionable.||||||| Newman has also been playing through a painful rib injury.

Statistics (MS)
Degree: Masters Degrees
Email this | Printer friendly page
The Department of Statistics offers two tracks in the Master of Science Degree in Statistics. One track is designed in Applied Statistics and prepares students for professional careers in industry, business or government with terminal masters degrees. The other track is designed to accelerate a student's progress through a masters degree in preparation for continued graduate work on a Ph.D. Degree in Statistics. Either track provides a route for a career in Applied Statistics.
The M.S. Degree (in either track) has a thesis and a non-thesis option. The thesis option requires a minimum of 27semester hours of graduate credit (exclusive of thesis), and the non-thesis option requires a minimum of 33 semester hours of graduate credit and a written comprehensive examination (which can also be used as a qualifying examination for the Ph.D. Degree). Both tracks require the practicum statistical consulting courses (STAT 8000). Students in the accelerated Ph.D. track would include more core courses in their masters degrees but are encouraged to add the applied statistics courses later to their doctoral programs of study.
A basic core of five courses is required (usually in the first year) for all masters students, and hence, a choice of which track to pursue can be delayed until after completion of the first year of study. Prerequisites for admission to the program are: advanced calculus, linear algebra and statistical theory and methods at an undergraduate level. Additional prerequisites may be required for some options.
Franklin College of Arts and Sciences
Academic Department
Graduate Coordinator
The MS degree has two options, one in applied statistics and the other in mathematical statistics. In both options, preparation of an MS thesis is optional. The thesis option requires a minimum of 27 semester hours of graduate credit exclusive of thesis and the non-thesis option requires a minimum of 33 semester hours. The PhD degree requires basic core course work equivalent to the mathematical statistics option of the MS degree plus work in advanced probability and inference; otherwise, the student can select advanced course work according to his own special interests.
Course Descriptions

The tempered swords are heat treated to have a harder surface yet retain a more elastic inner core than non-tempered swords.

DALLAS -- Students say it started with sirens going off in North Dallas High School right around 2 p.m. Friday.
DISD police made its biggest arrest of the year Friday, pulling a dozen students out of classes at the school in the 3100 block of N. Haskell Ave.
Adrian Guerrero was sitting in his art class when he says an officer walked into the classroom.
"He walked straight to the student, he said, 'Stand up and put your hands behind your back,'" Guerrero said. "I was like, 'What?'"
Twelve students were slowly escorted out of classrooms and put into police vans.
"It's so scary that it's so common now," said one man, who came to pick up a girlfriend who is an educator.
Dallas ISD police say the 12 students will be facing a Class B misdemeanor charges. The arrest affidavits show that the 12 students were accused of "riot participation."
Police say they have been involved in gang fights.
"There's been fighting going on, and its just been instigating problems for the campus and campus administrators," said DISD Police Chief Craig Miller.
"After school, before school, in school -- all day," said David Salazar, a student at North Dallas High, describing the fighting.
Salazar showed us clips of the gang fights, often posted to YouTube. He said the fights happen in an alleyway near campus, or in the case of the YouTube clip he directed us to, Turtle Creek.
"They shouldn't have to worry about, 'When I get out of school am I going to have wind up fighting?'" said parent Mae Smith.
Police arrived on campus with 14 warrants but only executed 12. The chief says they know where the other two students live, and will be executing those warrants soon.

It wouldn't have been a Clasico without a hilarious dive, so thanks to Alexis Sanchez for providing it. With Fabio Coentrao lured out of position, Barcelona can strike down the Real Madrid left, and eventually that means that Sanchez got to go one on one with Sergio Ramos. Ramos left his feet to go for the ball and nicked it away, so Sanchez's response was to do this:
That's a penalty, a yellow card for diving, or a corner kick, and the referee opts for the last option. He should have booked Sanchez -- the Chilaean deliberately trailed his foot behind him hoping for contact, which he didn't get. Because he kicked the ground.
Meanwhile, Raul Albiol performs a tackle on Xavi which should have earned him his third yellow card of the game. Maybe you can't get booked again if you're on a yellow card? That sounds dangerous. Anyway, 0-0 as we get closer to halftime.

Iconic Maldon tree to be felled this weekend
3:00pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in Local News
Work to fell an iconic Maldon tree begins this weekend.
The holm oak in St Peter's Churchyard, in the High Street, is believed to be up to 120-years-old.
But town councillors decided last November to remove it because a fungal infection means it could fall at any moment.
Work is due to be carried out between Saturday and Monday, weather permitting.
The tree had been monitored regularly since a fungal growth at the base was discovered in 2010.
A commemorative plaque will be carved from the uninfected wood and a new native tree will be planted.

Fine. All trees have a life. this is basically dead and dangerous. A commemorative plaque for a tree seems rather ridiculous!

10 Best Trail Runs in the UK
Using high-tech straw polls of fellow Merrell 'outsiders', we've selected the top 10 UK runs and races…
Run 1:
The Run: The Coniston 14
County: Cumbria
The Route: The hilly route follows the road that circles Coniston water. The race starts with a gentle three-mile climb, followed by a quick descent, before rising again. It's a pattern repeated frequently as the route follows the picture perfect road that circles Coniston Water.
Challenges: Lots of long climbs followed by sharp declines.
What Makes It Great: Being surrounded by mountains makes you feel like a hard-core mountain runner – but you don't have to climb them. The Coniston 14 race is held on a Saturday, great for anyone who's visiting the Lake District and wants to relax for the rest of the weekend – or maybe go for another run on the Sunday!
Distance: 13.875 miles.
Find out more online: Check out the race on the Coniston 14 race site for more information, www.coniston14.co.uk held in October.
Run 2:
The Run: The West Highland Way
County: Dunbartonshire to Inverness-shire
The Route: The 96-mile (154km) route starts at Milngavie is a favourite of Blogger and ultra runner, John Mackintosh (www.pixelscotland.com). The route passes through Mugdock Country Park, follows the shores of Loch Lomond, passing Ben Lomond, through Glen Falloch and Strathfillan, crossing Rannoch Moor, past Buachaille Etive Mor to the head of Glencoe, climbing the Devil's Staircase, descending to sea level to cross the River Leven at the head of Loch Leven before entering Lairigmor and Glen Nevis and finishing at Gordon Square in Fort William.
Challenges: The weather is very unpredictable, as the West Highland Way Race info says: "Weather. There will be some. When the sun shines, it'll be hot. When it's raining, it'll be cold and wet. If it's windy, there'll be less midges."
What Makes It Great: Stunning scenery including beautiful lochs and at the end of the West Highland Way you can even add in a climb up Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles (as long as you haven't run the entire route).
Distance: The total distance of the Highland Way is 96 miles. Sections of it are used for some epic ultra runs, and you can opt to run sections of it over a period of days. It's typically broken up into around eight sections from two to 20 miles each.
Find out more online: The West Highland Way plays host to three different ultra marathons:
• The West Highland Way Race (www.westhighlandwayrace.org) 95 miles including 14,760ft of ascent 1am on Saturday 22nd June 2013, to noon on the Sunday 23rd June 2013.
• The Highland Fling (www.zen31010.zen.co.uk/highlandflingrace), 53 miles 27th April 2013.
• The Devil O' The Highlands (www.devilothehighlandsfootrace.co.uk) 43 miles, 3rd August 2013.
Run 3:
The Run: Ashton Court and Leigh Woods
County: Bristol
The Route: Just two miles from the centre of Bristol, Ashton Court Estate, where this run starts is surrounded by Somerset countryside. The run is a favourite of runner, cook and author of Go Faster Food, Kate Percy, who opts for six to eight miles. Leigh Woods has been described as the South West's most historic and beautiful woodland and is found on the plateau above the famous Avon Gorge, boasting superb views across the city to downland beyond.
Challenges: The trails in this area are favourites for mountain bikers, and like any trail, the uneven terrain makes this a fantastic run and great workout for the core.
What Makes It Great: Spotting wild red deer, and enjoy the tranquility of running through picturesque woodland.
Distance: Any, six to eight miles is best.
Find out more online: Check out this blogger's account of running the route. http://www.bristolrunningresource.org.uk/running-blog/2010/6/26/running-again-11k-in-leigh-woods-ashton-court.html
Run 4:
The Run: Eastbourne to Beachy Head, taking in the Friston Loop (South Downs National Park)
County: East Sussex
The Route: This is a favourite run of The Running Bug, editor, Fiona Bugler, and her training partner, ex-international athlete Julia Armstrong. Starting at the foot of the South Downs (also the start of the Beachy Head Marathon) head out the reverse way to the Beachy Head Marathon, taking in the stunning Seven Sisters. At Birling Gap turn right through the fields to Friston Church, cross the road and take in a loop of Friston Forest, then head back via the 'gallops' (training ground for race horses) towards Willingdon Hill, across the Golf Course and back into Eastbourne.
Challenges: Thigh-screaming climbs across the cliffs and covers every sort of terrain you could wish for (grass, woodland trails and chalky paths) for a total body workout.
What Makes It Great: Stunning views of the sea and white cliffs, fantastic trails in the forest (also used by mountain bikers) followed by rolling hills across the fields back to Eastbourne.
Distance: 15 to 20 miles, depending on how big a loop you choose to run through the forest.
Find out more online: Check The Beachy Head Marathon website, which is held in the last week of October, (http://www.visiteastbourne.com/events/BeachyHeadMarathon.aspx) and choose a section of the course to run and www.southdowns.gov.uk/
for more about the national park.
Run 5
The Run: Liverpool Prom To Crosby Beach
County: Merseyside
The Route:
Run along the Mersey in Liverpool. This route takes in the Otterspool Prom, frequented by kite flyers on a windy day, through Liverpool, past the Liver Buildings, with the famous Liver Birds at the top, and other historic Liverpool landmarks. The run continues through the industrial docks (interesting rather than scenic here) and finishes on Crosby Beach where you can take in the famous Anthony Gormley statues, part of the permanent Another Place exhibition.
Challenges: Twists and turns in the industrial docks, and keeping your eye on the road, rather than sight-seeing – and a good marathon long run challenge. Can be exposed to headwinds, too.
What Makes It Great: You get to check out a fantastic city's key landmarks and sights, and finishing at Crosby Beach is a real treat.
Distance: The whole run is 18 miles – and you can get the train back into Liverpool from Crosby.
Find out more online: http://www.visitliverpool.com/ and http://www.visitsouthport.com
Run 6
The Run: The North Devon Marathon
County: Devon
The Route:
With Woolacombe Bay as a central point, this coastal route is tough and taking place in the North Devon area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, its scenery is stunning. Runner's World reviewers rated this race at an amazing 93 per cent, with an incredible 100 per cent saying that they would do it again. At the start of the course the coastal path is on headland with a sheer drop on one side. And, blogger, Barry Griffin writes: "I get a bit excited as we run across the beach and have to run through a stream leading across the beach to the sea." The route follows a figure of eight around stunning coastal scenery, and is described my many as the toughest marathon they've ever done!
Challenges: The route includes steep coastal paths and steps, and a 649ft elevation at 20 miles.
What Makes It Great: A tough race, that brings with it a real sense of achievement – and stunning scenery all the way.
Distance: 26.2 miles.
Find out more online: http://www.northdevonmarathon.co.uk/Raceinfo.aspx
Run 7
The Run: Richmond Park
County: Surrey, Greater London
The Route: There are a whole host of routes through this fantastic park. The most popular is the man-made perimeter, Tamsin Trail, which is 7.35 mile (11km) long. It's a hard-packed sandy and stoney man-made trail that takes in some reasonable climbs en route.
Challenges: There are a few climbs and twisty trails and it's great for Londoners wanting a taste of the trail. Just be prepared to share the path with walkers and cyclists, and if you go off course, you may meet some deer settled in the fern.
What Makes It Great: Richmond is essentially London, and so there are lots of sporty people using the park giving it the feel of a huge outdoor gym for endurance athletes. Add to that the wild deer and leafy parkland and it really is the perfect oasis for city-based athletes.
Distance: The Tamsin Trail is 7.35 miles and forms part of the multi-lap Richmond Park Marathon.
Find out more online: Check out http://www.richmondparklondon.co.uk/running/ and http://richmondparkmarathon.co.uk/ which is held in May.

Run 9
The Run: The Terminator
County: Wiltshire
The Route: A hellish mid-winter, multi-terrain race, organised by Pewsey Vale Running Club. The course is mainly off-road to the east and south of Pewsey Vale village, and takes in the Kennet and Avon canal, and the hills to the south of Milton Lilbourne and Pewsey.
Challenges: Hills, puddles and unpredictable weather. Includes the infamous 'Gully', a narrow tree-lined path lasting 500 yards or so which is stony in places and can often have a stream of water running down it. And it finishes with a monster climb to the Pewsey White Horse.
Distance: Originally about 10 miles, the course was revised and is now nearer 11 miles; and the original two energy-sapping climbs having been increased to four.
What Makes It Great: The website says it's the post-race cakes. A fantastic run for weekend warriors who don't mind getting wet, muddy and taking in some serious climbs!
Find Out More Online: The race is held at the end of February, find out more at http://www.pewseyvalerunningclub.org/.
Run 10
The Run: London by The Thames
County: London

The Exercise Physiology Laboratory at Boston Children's performs more than 1,900 exercise tests each year. The most sophisticated, state-of-the-art technology is used to obtain the most reliable and clinically useful data. Formal exercise testing can provide valuable and objective insights into a patient's cardiopulmonary condition and capacity.
Most clinical tests done by pediatric cardiologists (other than exercise tests), assess the cardiopulmonary system when a patient is at rest (lying still). Although valuable, these tests do not necessarily predict how a patient's cardiopulmonary system will respond to the demands of exercise, or measure the patient's true capacity to perform physical activities. The testing done in Boston Children's Exercise Physiology Laboratory provides this assessment.
A study led by Boston Children's found that, while many children with serious congenital heart defects are urged to restrict activity, most of these children can, in fact, benefit from regular exercise. A 12-week study found that heart function improved in 15 out of 16 children, and some as high as 20 percent.

Roughly 95 percent of the ocean is still unexploredand the Okeanos Explorer, in partnership with NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration, is going to help change that. Known as Americas ship for ocean exploration the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer is not a research vessel. Dedicated solely to exploration, the ship conducts operations around the globe, mapping the seafloor and characterizing largely unknown areas of the ocean. Interesting seafloor features can be discovered with the deep water multibeam sonar mapping system. Sites are further explored with a Conductivity Temperature and Depth sensor (CTD) and a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). Images and high-definition video from the underwater vehicles can then be sent from the vehicle to the ship to the shore all in real-time. This technology is referred to as telepresence. The ships V-SAT, or very small aperture terminal, (housed in the ships giant golf-ball dome) is able to send this information through Internet2, a high-speed internet connection commonly used by Universities.
The Okeanos Explorer is the only NOAA ship to have a dedicated ROV. Although ROV's have been used on other NOAA ships, they are typically removed at the end of a cruise. Having a permanent ROV makes it easier to deploy at any time throughout the field season. On the Okeanos Explorer, there is an integrated control room for operating the multibeam, ROV and telepresence communication equipment. Having the screens and computers permanently wired to the ship makes it more efficient to sustain long-term exploration in remote areas of the world.
Not knowing what the ship will encounter, it is impossible to prepare a scientific compliment for every possible discovery. Instead, the ship sends video, voice and other oceanographic data to scientists ashore so that they may follow the cruise from an Exploration Command Center, or ECC. The ECCs are located around the U.S., with a communication's hub located at the University Rhode Island, known as the Inner Space Center. Currently, other centers are located at the Pacific Marine Enviromental Laboratory at NOAA's facility at the Western Regional Center in Seattle, WA; University of Washington in Seattle, WA; NOAA Headquarters in Silver Spring, MD; and the University of New Hampshire's Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping. An additional ECC was also set up in Jakarta, Indonesia for the INDEX-SATAL expedition in 2010.
Although the ship may be thousands of miles away, the scientists standing "watch" at the centers are able to guide the ship through its daily operations. On occasion, during a mission, the ship will host webcasts and other media-related events in order to give the public an opportunity to participate in the journey. It is NOAA's hope that the ability to bring these products directly to people in near-real-time will help raise awareness about the ocean environment and get kids enthusiastic to learn about the ocean—not just in the United States, but all around the world.The Okeanos Explorer was previously the USNS Capable, a T-AGOS class vessel. NOAA obtained the vessel on September 10, 2004 and began conversion in 2005. The vessel was named by a team of five students from Woodstock High School in Woodstock, Illinois. There are several cruises scheduled in 2008 for shakedown of the scientific systems before the ship will be fully operational.

Menston MP gives backing to 'buy local' initiative (From Wharfedale Observer)

Menston MP gives backing to 'buy local' initiative
7:00am Tuesday 13th May 2014 in News By Amanda Greaves, Reporter
Menston MP Philip Davies has offered support for the 'buy local' campaign to be launched by the recently-constituted group of local businesses.
Christine Minchella, who runs The Studio, Menston Pilates and fitness business and who called the first meeting of the group, met the MP last month to discuss how he might help.
She said: "Philip Davies was very supportive and told me of the local business survey he had carried out in Menston as part of a wider survey across his constituency. The major problems identified by Menston businesses in this survey were parking and the high level of rates".
Among the offers of help was the possible use of the MP's volunteers to distribute Menston businesses' publicity material when they were distributing his information leaflets in Menston.
They also discussed the possibility of opening up the direct road from the High Royds development to Bingley Road, Menston, to better integrate the High Royds community with Menston village.
Following the meeting, Mr Davies said he "warmly welcomed the shop local campaign" via his blog.
He said: "Local shops are a key part of the local community, and it is therefore essential for local people to use them to allow them to survive and flourish. I hope this campaign will help people appreciate and support the wide range of local businesses that are available in Menston."
The next meeting of the group, at which it is hoped a name for the group and next actions will be decided, will be held upstairs at The Fox pub, Bradford Road, on May 14, starting at 6.30pm.
The campaign is about raising awareness and support for all the 70 businesses based in Menston.
