Our San Pedro center is ground zero for washing and caring for oiled seabirds affected by the Refugio pipeline spill near Santa Barbara. As a member of California's Oiled Wildlife Care Network (OWCN) we are providing best possible care to these impacted seabirds.
If you find any oiled animals, please call the Oiled Wildlife Care Network (OWCN) hotline at 1-877-UCD-OWCN. Please do NOT approach, pick up or try to clean the wildlife yourself.
More than 150 passionate wildlife responders from 9 countries attended the 12th Effects of Oil on Wildlife (EOW) Conference. The May 2015 meeting was held in Anchorage, Alaska. It was co-sponsored by International Bird Rescue and Aiuká.
Thanks to generous public and foundation support, IBR released the last of 165 birds cleaned and cared for after a mystery goo substance coated hundreds of seabirds in mid-January in San Francisco Bay.
All hands were on deck for this critical effort to rescue birds caught in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, which impacted birds and other wildlife all over the Gulf region. International Bird Rescue staff and volunteers worked tirelessly alongside long-time colleagues Tri-State Bird Rescue as well as local groups to ensure that every sick or injured bird received the best possible care.

Prep boys basketball: Edmonds-Woodway 69, Mariner 55
Mariner's Bayek Tutlam and Puma Purewal had big nights, with Tutlam scoring 23 in the game and hitting three 3-pointers and Purewal scoring 11 and three 3s. The Marauders fought back to within seven in the fourth quarter, but a big Edmonds-Woodway 3 made it 10 again. The Warriors shot 8-for-9 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter, making it hard for Mariner to get back in it.
Mariner's Ali Al-Azadi also suffered an injury with 38 seconds left in the game. According to Marauders head coach Tom Jensen, Azadi came down hard on his hip. He was taken to the hospital, but Jensen had not yet heard a report as to the seriousness of the injury.

Job hunting tips for the mature worker
Rep. Susan Davis panel offers secrets to 'reentry' into employment market
San Diego San Diego's job count is up and its unemployment rate is down.
But that's small comfort to thousands of jobless and underemployed residents, especially those in their 40s and 50s, who are still struggling after years of slow economic growth and getting passed over by younger applicants. It's even worse if they've been out of work for a year or more.
That is the reality for the roughly 100 midcareer workers who sought advice from employment experts Saturday morning at San Diego State University in a workshop organized by Rep. Susan Davis, D-San Diego.
"For so many of you it's just a matter of getting back into the economy and making some changes," Davis said. "Change can be good."
The latest figures show that San Diego County total of nearly 1.5 million is 6,500 jobs ahead of its pre-recession high in July 2007. But the state and local unemployment rates are still far above the good times of the early-2000s, and other statistics demonstrate that many part-time workers are looking for full-time jobs.
Are you encountering job discrimination because of age and long-term unemployment?
Yes 71% (618)
No 29% (253)
871 total votes.
Cathy Fisher, 56, of San Diego, said she had previously worked in health care and recently volunteered in political campaigns. Currently she's taking paralegal classes at the University of San Diego.
"I'm always hopeful," she said, grateful that her friends and family members help her scrape by. "You do what you have to do. It's not easy. I just keep pushing. I'm sure there's something out there for me."
Mark Cafferty, CEO of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp., said job seekers should recognize that San Diego's 21st century economy revolves around small businesses, started by entrepreneurs, "people constantly thinking of new ideas." And today's workers of any age should count on seeking lifelong learning.
"Learning more new things will be more important than ever, especially for folks re-entering the labor force," Cafferty said.
Some tips from the experts:
• Take risks and move out of your comfort zone.
"We know uncertainty can sometimes propel us to do things we don't normally do," Davis said.
• Acquire computer literacy.
This from UC San Diego Vice Chancellor Mary Walshok, who said at age 71 she is woefully behind in computer skills and couldn't qualify for many jobs if she applied today. "You're a mature audience," she said. "There's a prejudice out there and it's something that has to be overcome — that you can't teach an old dog new tricks."
Larry Lewis, 52, who lives in the College Area said he used to be adept at computers but now can barely navigate his smartphone apps. He said community college classes might serve him well, as they have done in his real estate training.
• Take a class.
Otto Lee, vice chancellor at the San Diego Community College District, said his district offers both free and low-cost courses in hundreds of programs.
"We can teach you skills to be a pastry chef, an auto mechanic," Lee said, even to install solar panels.
He said most mid-career workers already have mastered the "soft skills" of good work habits and just need retraining in new and growing fields.

Basketball Betting Game Trends
NCAA Basketball Pick – December 8th
The Duke Blue Devils and the Temple Owls will head to the Izod Center in East Rutherford for a college basketball betting battle on Saturday afternoon.
The Owls know that they are going to have to be giant killers in this game, but they have the potential to really do some damage. They're a 6-0 team, and the only club that has given them any sort of a challenge whatsoever is the Delaware Blue Hens, who came to the City of Brotherly Love and lost 80-75. This is a much different challenge for Head Coach Fran Dunphy and his Owls though, as they are going to be up against it and expected to lose for the first time on the campaign. F Scootie Randall has played a whopping 35.5 minutes per game this year, and he has the numbers to prove it. He's the team's leading scorer at 16.7 points per game and the leading rebounder at 7.2 boards per night. G Khalif Wyatt has averaged 15.2 points per game and is shooting 38.9 percent from beyond the arc. The defense is allowing just 61.0 points per game on the campaign as well.
The Dookies are still perfect this year, and they have played a heck of a schedule as well. Not only is there a win over the Ohio State Buckeyes, but victories over the Kentucky Wildcats and Louisville Cardinals as well. No team in America has been more impressive than this one. F Mason Plumlee is a double-double man this year, picking up 19.6 points and 11.0 boards per game, and he is also good for just about two blocks per game as well. G Seth Curry averaged 15.1 points per game, while F Ryan Kelly, G Rasheed Sulaimon, and G Quinn Cook are all double digit point scorers as well. The bench is weak for sure, but it really isn't given all that much of a chance, knowing that all five starters are averaging at least 30 minutes per game. If the Blue Devils keep this up, they are going to be a Final Four competitor this year for sure.
This is a series that had been dominated by the Dookies over the years before last year's 78-73 win for Temple. However, this isn't a great spot for an overrated and overmatched set of Owls, and they'll go back to being the team that is nothing more than another bump in the road for the Blue Devils. Duke 82 – Temple 65

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Charles D. McAllister' tag.
Storm Juno was all hyperbole in the five boros . . . not as harsh as in eastern Long Island and southern New England, but it was cold the day after. Nevertheless, Mary Alice and Cheyenne were hard at work,
as was Mister Jim.
The same is true for Barbara McAllister and
Charles D.
Buchanan 1 was at work.
The government boats were out like Liberty V and
Of course, cold means demand for fuel . . and Matthew Tibbetts was moving it , as
was Crystal Cutler.
Joyce D. Brown was moving the railroad and
Treasure Coast had a barge astern headed south. Anyone know what cargo was/will be in the barge?
All photos by Will Van Dorp, who went out to see the sights after the storm.
These photos come thanks to Allen Baker, whose most recent photos you saw here.
I'll just use his description: "Heading east in the Long Island Sound on 27 December, just an incredible sky looking aft as we made our way east….
Tangier Island heading across the upper bay with the lower Manhattan skyline as a back drop,
Bering Sea overtaking … out of the old Port Mobil, Staten Island,
Crowley ATB Coastal Reliance, assisted by the Chas. D. and Bruce McAllister, inbound on the Con Hook Range, and
close up of the Coastal Reliance."
I can be really happy to escape the winter temperatures, but nothing beats winter light!
Many thanks to Allen Baker for all these photos.
I've been thinking a lot about transitionings myself these days. I might have one coming soon . . . . More on that in a bit.
One summer as a kid I suffered from impetigo. I was terrified because I thought I'd end up scarred as badly as a neighbor . . . . Charles D looks to be suffering into a serious case of something . . .
most likely "prepacitis." Her partner doesn't seem to have great coating health either . . .
Alam Aman II might have been away from Port Kelang pretty long. . . . By the way, where is that port?
I had to look it up.
As for my own transitionings . . . well, I go in for a drug test tomorrow, if that tells you anything.
Not worried, though . . . I haven't even had to study.
Here was the first time I used this title, which clearly needs to be used again.
Let me start here at 13:38. Note from far to near, or black hull to black hull . . . Cartagena, Four Sky with Lee T Moran, Red Hook, and Genco Knight.
Twin Tube slides through the opening between Bow Kiso and Genco Knight.
Even the bow of Genco Knight is crowded as their vessel prepares to dock and resupply the salt depot.
Kimberly Turecamo works the bulk carrier's stern as Evening Star passes with B. No. 250.
Add McAllister Girls in the foreground and Ellen McAllister in the distance against the blue hull, which will appear a bit later.
McCrews heads westbound and Four Sky now seems to be doing the same.
Are you out of breath yet? Only 10 minutes has elapsed.
Linehandler 1 cruises blithely through it, supremely self-assured.
Cheyenne adds color.
Another line handler boat scouts out the set up . . . as a new blue hull arrives from the west, as
. . . does Charles D. McAllister.
Crew on the blue hull–Nord Observer–stows lines as they head for tropical heat, escorted
by Catherine Turecamo although
at the turn on the Con Hook range they meet Mare Pacific heading in with Joan Turecamo and Margaret Moran. At this point . . .
14:12 . . . the mergansers decided to hightail it . . . or at least follow their crests. And I hadn't even turned around yet to see the congestion on land behind me.
All these photos in a very short time by Will Van Dorp.
My thanks to Brian DeForest and Atlantic Salt, whom Genco Knight was arriving to restock.
Here was a post about a dense traffic day as well as a busy day.
Here was 27.
Ken Bailey of Michigan Exposures sent along this foot of a cold Detroit River with icebreaking being done by a bulk carrier Ojibway, same vintage as the SS United States AND Badger.
Last week's weather fotos from Brian DeForest . . . Atlantic Conveyer cuts through a hint of fog, assisted by Charles D. and
Ellen McAllister.
Next, two significantly different ship departure fotos from Phil Little. Norwegian Gem 2007, 965 ft., thanks to pod propulsion, backs out with no, no fuss, no slewing around. Notable is what's not seen, harbor tugs!
Carnival Splendor, 2008, 950 ft. has a 2-shaft propulsion arrangement, older technology. And definitely needs an assist. Margaret Moran pushing against her stern
rolls to port as it bears hard to get Splendor turned into the flow.
I took the remaining fotos here earlier this week . .. along a congested KVK.
I'm not sure what this container is.
My parting shot . . . Elizabeth McAllister assisting Zim Shang Hai.
For more icy Great Lakes fotos, check tugboathunter's site.
Thanks to Ken, Brian, and Phil for these fotos.
This first foto is by a secret salt . . . showing Dory (1978) and Captain Zeke (1980) tandem towing beach-lounging 125′ deck barge back onto the water.
And . . . attributed by the watermark . . . fotos from last week before Janus chilled the town, Atlantic Conveyor gets an assist from Charles D. McAllister (1967).
Shelby (1978) also worked in the January fog. Thanks, Brian.
And the rest of the fotos are mine: the seldom-seen Specialist (1956?), here close and
Two Coasts . . . Chesapeake (2011) and Emerald (1973).
Resolute (1975) about to pass Düsseldorf Express (1998),
And from Philly . . . High Roller (1969) with The Recycler (1989 . . . from THE George Steinbrenner's yard in Nashville, TN. Here's some history on The Recycler and its twin.
Many thanks to the secret salt and Brian DeForest for their fotos. All others by Will Van Dorp.
. . . aka a jumble.
I took the foto below of Stephen L. Colby (St. Louis, MO-built, 1967, 144′ x 40′) on 1/4/2013 in Cairo, IL. Yesterday, the boat sank into 14 feet of water farther north on the Mississippi.
Below, s/v Concetta meets Charles D. McAllister (Jacksonville, FL, 1967, 94′ x 29′) in late October.
Twin Tube (Blount, 1951, 64′ x 19′) passes the polytube rack. If you click on the link in the previous sentence, you'll see the very next completed Blount project was of Ceres, a "grain elevator." A google search turned up no fotos. Anyone know of any?
I took this foto a week and a half ago. Currently, Grande Sierra Leone has left Dakar bound for Cotonou, passing the older Grande Buenos Aires en route.
Bow Hector in the Kills a few days ago . . . now in Morehead City. Bow! Hector!
Taft Beach . . . shuttling dredge spoils, inbound.
Sludge tanker North River noses past 118,000-bbl barge Charleston.
On Marathon Day, this was Explorer of the Seas ( I think) approaching the Narrows, as seen past the stern of Transib Bridge.
A few days ago . . . it's Challenge Paradise. I wonder if that's ever a command. . . .
And at the same moment, crude oil tanker Felicity. By the way, I passed between felicity and challenge paradise . .. steering clear. Both vessels are currently southbound off the coast of the Carolinas.
Finally, in the Buttermilk, it's MAST's r/v Blue Sea, passing Wilson Newcastle and McAllister Responder. Responder and Charles D. are two of the triplets built near the end of the run at Gibbs Gas Engine, currently a place to sleep and stroll. The last time I saw Roderick-the third triplet– in the sixth boro was here.
All fotos by Will Van Dorp.
Random, recent, and variously sourced.
The closeup of Nanticoke pushing Doubleskin 57 toward the Goethals Bridge below comes compliments of Allen Baker.
I took this foto of Robert E. McAllister.
Marie J. Turecamo here assists Barney Turecamo, pushing
the 118,000 barrel barge Georgia.
Four of the Dann Marine tugs: l to r, Emerald, Chesapeake in the distance, First, and Calusa . . . all Coast.
Pegasus . . . the former John E. McAllister and so much more . . . the only tug in the sixth boro that today still excurses (yup . . that's a word!) for the public.
First Coast, the former
Morania No. 18 . . . See the traces of "R–A–N" in the painted metal?
Over in the East River, it's Bruce A. and
Charles D. McAllister. See the McAllister striped Rosenwach wooden water tank on the building upper skyline left?
From l'amiga . . it's another shot of Patricia, a 1963 tug built in Port Deposit, MD.
And last but not least . . . just cellphone-snapped by chance by Birk Thomas yesterday, it's Miss Lis, which at this writing is about to steam past Sandy Hook on her way out of the sixth boro. What's remarkable about this foto is that Birk caught this Tradewinds tug in the last two miles of a journey that started in LA! I feel like there should be a brass band playing or some other celebration of completion. Click here to my previous "seeing" of another Tradewinds tug.
Click on this foto below . . . and if you have a Facebook account, you should be able to see Tradwinds Towing's FB page.
Fotos should be credited as I tried to indicate; non credited ones by Will Van Dorp.
Here was a similar foggy day in the sixth boro a few months back. AIS showed me this vessel with an auspicious name, and I figured it'd just magically turn clear if I went outside to watch. Frogma found fog more glorious than I did.
Wrong!! This is what fog looked like out there this morning. That's Charles D. McAllister headed out to meet a huge orange containership. Somewhere off Charles D.'s stern is the shiny new Curtis Reinauer . . . but obscured. What fog sounds like, though, is not captured here . . . low pitched blasts, penetrating yet not loud.
Up on the KVK . . . this vessel that I'd seen in port a month ago was at the dock, begging to be redubbed Foggy Venture.
Wolf River headed out as Chesapeake Coast pushed barge Chesapeake in.
R/V Seawolf passes by Sarasota on her way out as well.
Ellen McAllister joins Charles D. in assisting Rumanian-built Rio Madeira into a berth. On a clear day, this would look quite different.
FDNY M8 cruises out to the Narrows and back. Off the bow of M8, it's Marie J. Turecamo assisting
Linda Moran over to Sarasota, where
Julia has just made a personnel call.
Cormorant throws wings up . . .when's this going to clear?
Unrelated . . . but while I was studying AIS over coffee this morning, I saw that Ouro do Brasil was heading up Delaware Bay. Now that's a vessel with a paint scheme I'd love to see. Anyone pass along fotos?
All fotos by Will Van Dorp, who still has more Mississippi watershed fotos to share.
My library for the time period January 1, 2012 until today contains 11,244 fotos. Starting from tomorrow, any 2012 fotos will be taken along the road. So I decided to choose ONE foto per month, quite subjectively and without regard for this foto having previously been featured here. I don't claim these are the best of the month. Only 12 fotos, one per month.
January, Sandmaster . . . waiting to refuel. Today, Dec 22 . . . Sandmaster was out there doing what it usually does, mining sand.
February . . . Eagle Beaumont escorted in the Arthur Kill by Charles D. McAllister.
March . . . side by side, CSAV Suape and bulker Honesty, Pacific bound through the Miraflores locks, demonstrating graphically what panamax means.
April . . . red-trimmed Taurus west bound on the KVK, cutting past Advance Victoria. And just today, I saw Taurus, now blue-trimmed, heading north between Manhattan and Jersey City.
Choosing just one foto per month is tough, but for May, here's Swan packed and almost ready to go hulldown toward Africa with these specimens of the Crowley, Reinauer, and Allied fleets.
June . . . Weeks Shelby tows shuttle Enterprise from JFK toward Manhattan.
July and an unforgettable 4th using Pegasus as subject under the rocket's glare
August . . . and coal-fired Badger heads into the sunset . . . and Wisconsin.
September, and a parade of vessels including Urger and Buffalo leave the Federal Lock bound for Waterford. My inimitable platform here is Fred's Tug44.
At the start of the Great Chesapeake Schooner race, crew is setting sail on the unique tugantine Norfolk Rebel. In the distance, it's Pride of Baltimore 2.
Coming into the home stretch from Montreal, it's Atlantic Salvor delivering segments of the WTC1 antenna.
And December . . . it's Stena Primorsk looming over the USCG vessels. At this time, Stena Primorsk was impatient to load that first hold with "north dakota crude," only to experience the malfunction that has left her temporarily disabled upriver, its outer hull gashed open.
Tomorrow I hit the road . . . gallivanting and visiting season. I thank all of you for reading, many of you for helping me get these fotos, lots of you for correcting my errors and supplying missing info. Happy New Year and let's pray for much-needed Peace on Earth . . . .

I have a few burning questions for lawyers...
It's been on my mind for awhile, and I'm not sure why... but, do lawyers watch Harvey Birdman?
Now, I have alot of contempt for lawyers, which, is not necessarily very fair of me. The only thing that I can think of to make me feel better about them is if they actually get a kick out of Harvey Birdman. I used to know quite a few attorneys and attorney wanna be's and somehow they always left me feeling a little like I just had an abortion. Kinda dirty, kinda empty, kinda like I just did something bad but I'm not sure what exactly it was.
So I guess what I'm really trying to ask, is how lawyers actually resolve the image of being a scumbag that is conjured into the minds of so many people when they hear the word lawyer.
No offense meant here, but I mean, it is pretty much one of the most common stereotypes out there. Think about it, lawyers are hated pretty much universally until you actually need one... but the whole reason you usually need one is to defend yourself against the possible future actions of another one.
I've jumped the gun a couple of times myself with being kinda shitty unnecessarily to lawyers (sorry sam), and even though I know I was wrong then... I still have a hard time feeling like I did something completely bad...
The only lawyer I ever knew that I liked was a defence attorney who taught my business law class when I was an undergrad student, and mostly I liked him because he had an amazing ability to make people laugh. Was that just a defence mechanism, some diabolical lawyer mind trick to get everyone to lower their guard and put away their crucifixes, or did he wear plaid 1940's style golf pants because he really did get a kick out of being funny?
See, there's another thing. Do you lawyer types ever get tired of always having to take **** just because you have a juris doctorate? And, if not, do you ever get tired of always having to look over your legal shoulder to insure that you won't be counter attacked/blindsided by some other lawyer?
I could post a million of these questions... but most of all, do you watch Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. If not, please do, I think some of you lawyer types would get a kick out of it.A lie gets half-way around the world before the truth has time to get it's pants on. - Winston Churchhill

I liked the one where he represented Fred Flintstone when he thought he was the mafia don. Birdman put up evidence of Fred often getting hit on the head and thinking he was some wild personality (E.g. Frederico - International race car criver)
Harvey birdman is about the only lawyer show I'd watch.We are surrounded by warships and dont have time to talk. Please pray for us. One Somali Pirate.
I like the episode where he defends Shaggy and Scooby, and his pet eagle (or whatever it is, I forget) kills Scrappy Doo. What an annoying little fucker.
The episode where he defends the Jetsons is really good as well."No. Listen to me because I know what I'm talking about here." -- Hannibal

Turkey Accounting: Measuring the Cost of an American Original
There are big bucks in birds. In 2005, over 264 million turkeys were sold, and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) lists it as a $3.2 billion industry, up from $2.82 billion in 2000. Most of these sales were of the Broad Breasted White turkeys which became popular in the 1950's and 60's, although a growing number of producers now cater to the all natural and/ or free range bird. The U.S. turkey industry has had huge growth in the last 20 years. This year American consumption is expected to be 16.6 pounds per person, making it the number four protein of choose.

Use Your Frequent Flier Account; Inactive Programs Can be Cancelled
The incentive to redeem frequent flier miles – that free ticket – is not as appealing for travelers as it once was, because of blackout dates, limits on eligible seats, especially for popular destinations, and the lower fares on discount carriers, but not visiting your frequent flier accounts can have a price. Two carriers, Delta and US Airways, recently imposed new rules on inactive accounts. Starting January 31, 2007, US Airways Dividend Miles accounts will be closed and all miles forfeited if there has been no activity in the account for 18 months.

Giving Thanks Is Good For You
"Gratitude allows you to take good things in," says Lisa Lewis, PhD., director of psychology at The Merringer Clinic in Houston and an associate professor in the Merringer Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine. "Often good things happen, and we aren't very mindful when they happen. We get compliments and we brush them off. We get a promotion and all we think about is how stressful it is going to be. Our children go to college and all we can think about is how lonely we are going to be.

The last German pope, Adrian VI, was the first since Mercurius not to choose a new name as pope and the last to be elected by the College of Cardinals in his absence (Adrian was then serving as head inquisitor in Spain). A few months after his arrival in Rome, he was nearly killed when a crack in the ceiling of the Sistine Chapelthe room in which papal elections are heldopened up. A chunk of the ceiling came crashing down, narrowly missing the pontiff and instantly killing one of his trusted Swiss Guards. What Adrian saw when the dust cleared was a fault line running along the length of the ceiling, which, in a terrifying symbolic gesture, ran between the Finger of God and the finger of Adam in Michelangelo's celebrated fresco panel. Fighting corruption in the Catholic Church, the Turks on Rhodes, the Lutherans in Germany, and the plague in Rome, Adrian died barely a year later. Benedict XVI faces the modern versions of these older problems, but his experience of Rome and of the Sistine Chapel, where he was elected, will hopefully prove a richerand less perilousone.

Al-Farouq Aminu is finally getting minutes. Al-Farouq Aminu may finally be out of the doghouse in New Orleans. In his last two games, Aminu has played 31 and 39 minutes respectively. Earlier in the season, Aminu was posting versatile lines, but ended up in Monty Williams' doghouse. On the season, he's averaging 7.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.2 steals and .4 blocks. Here are his last two lines: January 5 vs. Dallas: 10 points (3-6 FG and 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block in 39 minutes. January 2 vs. Houston: Eight points (3-8 FG and 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and an assist. Aminu is worth keeping an eye on, especially after his November. In 13 games, he averaged 9.8 points (49.5 FG% and 74.1 FT%), 7.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.8 steals and .5 blocks. If he's pulling these numbers, he's a solid cross-category contributor (except in three-pointers made).

World Association of International Studies
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2009)
The World Association of International Studies (WAIS) was founded by Ronald Hilton in 1965 as the California Institute of International Studies at Stanford University's Bolivar House. WAIS membership is by invitation only. The stated goal of WAIS is "finding Peace, Light and Truth (Pax, Lux et Veritas) through informed, balanced, and spirited cross-disciplinary discussions".
WAIS has conducted many conferences since its inception.[1]
From 1965 to 1970, the Hispanic American Report was the publication of the California Institute of International Studies. In 1970, it was succeeded by the World Affairs Report. WAIS discontinued the publication of the printed version of the World Affairs Report in 1990. The online version continued on the WAIS home page.[2] World Affairs Report is updated daily. Since 2006, the editor in chief is John Eipper (Adrian College).

Sometimes it takes bad things to highlight the good. Case in point: The shooting Friday at Gardenwood Apartments in Rockingham.
The call for help came in at about 4:38 p.m. Law enforcement officers from the N.C. State Highway Patrol, the Richmond County Sheriff's Office and the Rockingham Police Department swarmed the area. According to the official arrest report, police found their man and, at 5:19 p.m., arrested him — less than 45 minutes after the initial emergency call to 911.
As is often the case within the minutes and hours immediately after such an event, details were few and, from witnesses, sometimes less than accurate. The Rockingham Police Department held jurisdiction on the incident and was awarded the job of addressing the many questions from local and regional media outlets — no small task in and of itself, but consider this job along with the primary goal of serving and protecting while investigating the shooting.
As hours passed and television stations and newspapers, including The Richmond County Daily Journal, began to get a bit anxious as evening deadlines loomed, detectives made sure we had what was needed to inform the public.
Melissa Taylor and Teresa Best, the victims of the shooting, still have a ways to go to recover. The good news is that Carolinas Medical Center reported on Monday that both of them are in "good condition." Let their recovery continue and let's hope that both regain their health as quickly as possible.
Shooting suspect Taquan Taheem McDonald, meanwhile, remains incarcerated at Richmond County Jail on a $201,000 secured bond. He's due on March 13 in N.C. District Court and the process will play out however it does.
Of course, we should keep in mind this incident didn't only affect the two victims but their friends and family — and the suspected shooter's as well. Living in a small community like Richmond County, everyone seems to know everyone else's business. It can't be easy.
Meanwhile, we owe a debt of gratitude to the men and women who put on the uniform each day. Those who wear the badge have a reason to be proud — not unlike any other day, perhaps, but Friday was more visible than most.
To all the law enforcement officers and medical personnel who responded to the event, as well as those who played a peripheral role in event, such as perimeter and landing zone security, we can't say it often enough: Thank you for your service.

Earl Walton was diagnosed with a rare brain disease in the summer of 2012 called progressive supra-nuclear palsy.
PSP is a rare brain disorder that causes serious and progressive problems with control of gait and balance, along with complex eye movement and thinking problems, according to the National Institutes of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Affected individuals often show alterations of mood and behavior, including depression, apathy and progerssive mild dementia.
"There is no treatment and no cure," said his wife, Pam Walton.
That's a fact the Walton family hopes to change.
Walton, at age 67, was a relatively healthy man until he started getting "strange" symptoms about a year before his diagnosis.
The first thing the Patrick resident and his family noticed is that occasionally he would have odd emotional responses.
"He would sometimes laugh at things that were not funny, and continue to laugh uncontrollably," said Pam Walton.
Next, there were occasional tremors.
From there, "so many little things began to add up, he was sent to a neurologist," she said.
Some doctors refer to the disease as Parkinson's Plus, because many of the symptoms are similar. Walton's eyesight has been greatly effected, and that has caused problems with keeping his balance.
Earl Walton was once a great guitar player, and had quite a nice singing voice, his wife said.
But Earl, Pam, and the entire extended family are determined not to dwell on the negative side of his health issues. Instead, they are focusing on turning his rare disease into a rare opportunity to raise money for research.
On Earl's birthday last year, the family organized a competition among themselves to raise money to donate to clinical research for progressive supra-nuclear palsy. This year, on Saturday, March 15, they are inviting the public to help in their efforts to raise awareness for the disease, and money to help battle it.
The family oriented event will be held at Turnage Field in Patrick between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. March 15. It will offer a corn hole tournament with a trophy, and lots of other games and activities for adults and children.
There will be hot dogs, drinks, cup cakes, and lots of homemade baked goods for sale.
"We want to celebrate the wonderful support we've gotten from friends, family and the community," said Pam Walton. "We want to look at in a positive light, because we have been blessed in so many ways. And we want to help find a cure for this disease."
Together, the Waltons have six children. Some of them will be coming home for the event from Kentucky and Virginia. And though it's all in fun, the competition will begin in earnest.
Last year, it was the guys against the girls. And as you can see in the group photo of the men in the family, several of them are sporting the infamous L, for loser, across their forehead. That's because the women of the family raised more money than the men.
"We had set our goal at $1,000 last year," said Pam Walton. "And we raised almost $4,500. We were pleasantly surprised."
The competition gets really strong among the family, she said. Last year the losers had to paint their hair green.
The Waltons hope others will join them in this battle called life.
For more information about progressive supra-nuclear palsy, or to donate, visit curepsp.org.

Excessive Decrease in Serum Magnesium After Total Thyroidectomy for Graves' Disease Is Related to Development of Permanent Hypocalcemia

Transient postoperative hypocalcemia is one of the most common complications after thyroidectomy. Permanent hypocalcemia, however, is rare, but usually requires life-long treatment and follow-up. The risk of permanent hypocalcemia has been shown to be significantly higher in patients with Graves' disease. In the present study we evaluated short-term and long-term changes in serum calcium, phosphate, magnesium, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in order to characterize subjects at risk of postoperative hypoparathyroidism.
Forty patients who underwent total thyroidectomy for Graves' disease were included in the study. Calcium, phosphate, magnesium, and PTH were measured before surgery and regularly during the year that followed.
Postoperative hypocalcemia was seen in 21/40 (53 %) patients. Undetectable PTH (<0.6 pmol/L) was registered in 11/40 (27 %) patients. All patients with measurable PTH 6–48 h after operation regained normal calcium. Of those with undetectable PTH after 6–48 h, four developed permanent hypocalcemia. We found a significantly lower serum calcium level before operation in patients who developed permanent hypocalcemia compared to those who did not (p < 0.001). We also found a significant correlation between the decrease in serum magnesium from time 0 to 48 h after operation and permanent hypocalcemia (p = 0.015).
Serum calcium prior to operation, serum PTH, and degree of decrease in magnesium levels in serum 48 h after operation may predict development of permanent hypocalcemia. Magnesium plays an important role in calcium homeostasis via stimulation of PTH secretion and modulation of PTH receptor sensitivity. Both mechanisms may have played a role for the findings reported in this article.

Recent Corona del Mar Reviews
stunning house
(family from birmingham, engalnd) Beautiful family home with stunning views, everything you need for a relaxing family holiday. The owners really do have a wonderful home but our only down points to note would be that the 4th bedroom is actually an office with a day bed, there are no blinds or curtains, therefore no privacy in this room. The pool wasn't heated for our stay (heating was turned off by mistake prior to our stay) and the BBQ was filthy which was a shame as the children were looking forward to a BBQ by the pool of an evening. The people who stayed before us had left all the outside rubbish bins full to capacity so we had no where to put any rubbish, as the bin collection day was nearly a week after we arrived. You need a car but there are many lovely places to visit so its worth having one, its only a 15min walk to main road where there is a lovely supermarket, Albertsons, lots of cafes, restaurants. the beach is a private beach which is a car ride away. Overall we would say that this is a stunning home to visit and we would definately stay here again.

Exodus 18:1-12New International Version (NIV)
Jethro Visits Moses
18 Now Jethro, the priest of Midian and father-in-law of Moses, heard of everything God had done for Moses and for his people Israel, and how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.
2 After Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro received her 3 and her two sons. One son was named Gershom,[a] for Moses said, "I have become a foreigner in a foreign land"; 4 and the other was named Eliezer,[b] for he said, "My father's God was my helper; he saved me from the sword of Pharaoh."
5 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, together with Moses' sons and wife, came to him in the wilderness, where he was camped near the mountain of God. 6 Jethro had sent word to him, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons."
7 So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. They greeted each other and then went into the tent. 8 Moses told his father-in-law about everything the Lord had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for Israel's sake and about all the hardships they had met along the way and how the Lord had saved them.
9 Jethro was delighted to hear about all the good things the Lord had done for Israel in rescuing them from the hand of the Egyptians. 10 He said, "Praise be to the Lord, who rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and of Pharaoh, and who rescued the people from the hand of the Egyptians. 11 Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods, for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly." 12 Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and other sacrifices to God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat a meal with Moses' father-in-law in the presence of God.

Comments about Reliance Electric Lowboy 47Gal Water Heater (6-50-DOLS):
Compact large water heater allowed me to elavate it into the corner of my laundrey room freeing up valuable space in an already small room. I was able to put it above the washer and dryer by mounting it up in the corner. Be sure to build structure that can support the mass amount of weight (+-500 pounds)when filled to its capacity. It is average in energy consumption but when set up with a timer that allows you to shut it down durning peak energy times you can save a bundle. The timer is also available on line or at the store and it simple to install and operate. It will pay for it self in a month!!

Officials getting ready for fire season
Utility's plan for cutting power
Looking to the start of fire season, San Diego Gas & Electric says it's working to prevent fires by monitoring wind speeds around the backcountry and preparing to shut off power if it's too windy.
For SDG&E, that means that when wind speeds top 56 mph and fire risks are high, it reacts by cutting power.
To know precisely how hard the wind is blowing, it's installing a network of remote weather stations. By Sept. 1, 125 of them will be in place, making San Diego County's one of the most closely monitored climates in the world.
Also, SDG&E has upgraded some lines to withstand stronger gusts.
And the utility has increased the use of smart switches called Intelliruptors, which give it the ability to remotely test circuits when there's a short to make sure it's safe before power comes back on.
But, in the end, it says that sometimes the only way to prevent problems is by cutting electricity.
"There's a de facto plan," said Gary Arant, general manager of the Valley Center Municipal Water District. He was among those who complained about the impact of power loss.
"The areas that could be subject to turnoff are more limited than they were before," he said.
In the past few years, water agencies and telephone and cable providers have prepared for outage possibilities by beefing up backup power options. Even then, there are issues to be resolved, such as whether county air pollution regulators will fine the use of such diesel generators.

Warmer summer is predicted
The U.S. Climate Prediction Center says that it is likely the summer months will be warmer than average in Southern California this year. But the center does not estimate how much temperatures could vary from average, which points to the difficulty meteorologists have in projecting seasonal weather.
Historical records may be a better guide. The National Weather Service notes that the average high temperature at San Diego's Lindbergh Field in June is 72.8 degrees. The average high is 75.8 degrees in July, and 77.8 degrees in August.
Southern California is famous for "June gloom," the marine layer that typically forms late at night and lasts until the early morning hours. The marine layer was unusually persistent last summer, resulting in cooler, cloudier days.
The county has received above average precipitation, which should reduce the danger of wildfires through part of the summer. However, if the weather becomes unusually hot, it will cause a lot of fresh vegetation to die off quickly, potentially providing fuel for wildfires.
Gary Robbins • U-T
Firefighting staffing reduced
Staffing for the two main fire agencies that handle wildfires in the county remains about the same as in recent years. However, Cal Fire will be down 52 firefighters once the agency goes to peak staffing sometime next month due to state budget constraints.
Cal Fire protects most of the backcountry and now has 521 employees on duty daily, while the U.S. Forest Service, responsible for the Cleveland National Forest and other federally owned lands, has 366 personnel on duty.
The numbers include not just firefighters, but hand crews, bulldozer operators, plane and helicopter crews, communications and other employees.
Cal Fire's staffing will increase when the decision is made, probably next month, to man every station. But unlike last year, each engine will be down one firefighter, from four to three, as the state makes cuts to close the massive deficit.
If a major fire were to break out, firefighting agencies from throughout the county, state and even the nation could respond.

FOX Sports Exclusive
NFL suspends Saints coach for one year
The NFL on Wednesday levied one of the harshest penalties in league history in punishing the New Orleans Saints for running an illegal bounty system targeting opposing offense players.
The NFL disciplined multiple members of the Saints organization for their participation or connection with the bounty system that was run by former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams from 2009-11. Williams was suspended indefinitely. Saints head coach Sean Payton was suspended for the entire 2012 season. General manager Mickey Loomis is suspended for the first eight games and linebackers/assistant head coach Joe Vitt for the first six.
In addition, the Saints were fined $500,000 and stripped of second-round draft choices in the 2012 and 2013 drafts. The Saints already didn't have a first-round pick in the draft this April because they dealt it to New England last year for the chance to select running back Mark Ingram.
The Saints, as well as those suspended, can appeal the ruling to the NFL.
New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees said he was "speechless" about the NFL's ruling and wants to know the reasoning behind it.
"I am speechless," Brees tweeted. "Sean Payton is a great man, coach, and mentor. The best there is. I need to hear an explanation for this punishment."
The NFL claims Payton and Loomis had knowledge of the bounty system run by Williams but failed to take steps to stop them.
FOXSports.com NFL insider Jay Glazer said the Saints initially planned to name Vitt as their interim head coach in case of a Payton suspension. That plan will now be reassessed in light of the Vitt suspension.
The penalties are the most severe and wide-ranging against a team since NFL commissioner Roger Goodell disciplined the New England Patriots for the "Spygate" scandal of 2007.
In early March, the NFL announced findings of a lengthy investigation that revealed activities strictly barred by the league. Saints players and others within the franchise including Williams contributed to a bounty pool that reached as much as $50,000.
Players were rewarded $1,500 for what were described as "knockout" hits and $1,000 for "cart-offs" (i.e. an injured opponent being taken off the field on a medical cart). The payoff amounts were doubled or tripled during the postseason.
Sports Illustrated first reported that Saints linebacker Jon Vilma offered a $10,000 reward to any teammate who could drive Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre out of the NFC championship game in January 2010. Favre played the entire game but was the victim of numerous borderline hits, including a high-low shot by defensive linemen Bobby McCray and Remi Ayodele that caused a serious ankle injury. Defensive end Anthony Hargrove also was flagged and fined by the NFL for a late hit on Favre.
BOUNTY ON WARNER?The former Cardinals QB was injured in a 2010 playoff game against the Saints.
The bounty system flies in the face of the player safety initiatives Goodell has instituted during his six-year tenure as NFL commissioner.
"It is our responsibility to protect player safety and the integrity of our game," Goodell said in a statement released earlier this month. "This type of conduct will not be tolerated. We have made significant progress in changing the culture with respect to player safety and we are not going to relent. We have more work to do and we will do it."
The NFL initially began investigating the Saints in the fall of 2010 when allegations were made that New Orleans players were targeting Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner during an early season matchup. Initially unable to prove a bounty system existed, the NFL reopened its inquiry after new information surfaced during the 2011 season. The final report measured 50,000 pages with internal Saints emails part of the 18,000 documents submitted.
When news of the scandal surfaced, players on other teams coached by Williams admitted that similar bounty programs existed to varying degrees. Williams left the Saints at the end of the 2011 season to become defensive coordinator in St. Louis. The Rams have taken no official action against Williams while awaiting the NFL's announcement of sanctions.
An NFL coach since 1990 at levels ranging from defensive assistant to Buffalo Bills head coach (2001-03), Williams was not forthcoming when NFL investigators questioned him about the existence of the bounty program.

the personel in this hotel is amazing they are very polite,friendly and courteous
The hotel was fine. We stayed one night. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean. Everything worked. Had a microwave and frig. The neighborhood seemed fine. Not noisy. No problems at all.
We booked two rooms at the now named "Western Inn" in Tacoma for a lengthy stay. The property is older, but the management is in the process of sprucing up the exterior. The rooms were dated, but clean. Our standard room had two double beds plus a sleeper sofa. The kitchenette room was large with separate bedroom and sitting area....
This hotel was horrific. I was disgusted by the smell of our room, the huge amount of loud obnoxious behaviour throughout the parking lots that was allowed by the management. The police were even there! The shampoo was in ketchup size packets and when I asked the front desk for another "packet" they said they didnt have any and I...
This Ramada Inn was clean, but had a real budget feel to it in the furnishings and the amenities. For example the ice machine was not working in our area so had to go to the main office. There were 2 towels in the room for the four of us. I called the main desk hoping that someone could bring...

BEIJING — Malaysian authorities have identified one of the two men who used stolen passports to board the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, the nation's inspector general of police told local media Monday, as international search teams continued to look — so far unsuccessfully — for wreckage from the jet.
"I can confirm that he is not a Malaysian, but cannot divulge which country he is from yet," Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar told the Star, a major Malaysian newspaper. He added that the man is also not from Xinjiang, China — a northwestern province of the mainland home to minority Uighurs. Uighur separatists have been blamed for a knifing rampage in southwestern China this month that left 29 dead.
Meanwhile, a Taiwanese official said national security officials received an anonymous tip last week warning that terrorists were targeting Beijing's international airport. But the official, Cai Desheng, chief of Taiwan's national security bureau, told Taiwan's official news agency that the call received last Tuesday was "not likely" to be linked to the mysterious disappearance four days later of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which was headed from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Nevertheless, the anonymous call was one of dozens of possible clues investigators are examining as they struggle to explain how the flight, carrying 239 people, simply vanished. As of Monday evening in Malaysia, investigators have found no confirmed wreckage of the airliner despite an intensive search by more than 40 ships and nearly three dozen aircraft off the southern coast of Vietnam.
Sightings of what appeared to be an airport door and a life raft were later found to be items unrelated to Flight 370, officials said. Malaysian authorities say they have ruled nothing out as a cause of the Boeing 777's disappearance.
According to the report by Taiwan's Central News Agency, a man speaking Chinese claimed to have information of planned attacks directed against Beijing's airport and subway system by the East Turkestan Independence Movement, an Islamic-inspired group seeking independence for the Uighurs. The caller identified himself as a member of a French-based anti-terror network and said he had called Taiwan's national airline because he couldn't reach anybody in Beijing.
As a result, Cai said that Taiwan "stepped up security checks at airport, especially for flights destined to Beijing." Security officials also notified their counterparts in Beijing.
Taiwan, which has been self-ruled since 1949, is considered a breakaway province by Beijing, but today enjoys close economic relations with the mainland.
Chinese authorities blamed Uighur separatists for the brutal knifing rampage March 1 at a train station in the city of Kunming in southwestern China. During the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Beijing authorities claimed to have foiled amateurish plots by Uighurs to hijack or blow up airplanes.
