Which Team Has The Most Irish American Players
Irish Americans have played a very important role in the history of the United States. In that respect, their sporting contributions are nothing to be surprised about. The Boston Celtics are one of the most successful NBA teams in the country. They have won countless championship trophies and they are always there or thereabouts when [...]

When Did The First Irish American Team Play
Being legally launched into the world of Irish Americans through the union of matrimony can be an eye-opening experience for those of us not born of this proud heritage. From immigration stories to shared recipes to the ambitious zest for life the Irish innately uphold, we could only expect to witness the same passion for [...]

In 1966, Washington State University graduate student Dorys Grover joined the fledgling Western Literature Association and started attending its conferences. From her books on WLA's first Distinguished Achievement Award recipient Vardis Fisher to her work on Hemingway and Graves, Professor Grover helped to develop the field of western American literary studies. After teaching for over two decades at East Texas State University, Professor Grover retired in 1993, splitting her time between Texas and Pendleton, Oregon, where she grew up.
One of her doctoral students, Joyce Kinkead, Professor of English at Utah State University, has created the Dorys Grover Award in recognition of her mentor's dedication to both western American literature and to graduate students. Now in its second year, the Dorys Grover Award, in the amount of $200 each, will be given to two graduate students presenting at this year's 50th annual conference whose papers contribute to our critical understandings of region, place, and space in western American literatures.
Creative work is not considered for the Grover Awards.
Please submit an abstract by the proposal deadline (June 15). Once your proposal has been accepted, submit the complete, conference-length paper (not exceeding 15 pages) with a cover letter indicating that you wish to be considered for the Grover Award to firstname.lastname@example.com. The deadline for the completed paper is August 15.
You may submit the same paper for the Taylor Award, if you wish.
Note: The award can only be received once.

Grads are warmly welcomed. The WLA is proud to be a "graduate-friendly" association, and the yearly meetings have a convivial, encouraging atmosphere where graduate students don't have to worry about feeling out of place.
Grads have got the numbers. The WLA has a significant graduate student contingency. Nearly 20% of its members are graduate students, many of whom are on their way to becoming life-long members.
Grads make professional connections. Students can rub elbows with some of the finest scholars and writers in the field. They can make professional connections that help them during their careers.
Grads make friends. Students can create close personal connections that keep them coming back to WLA year after year. Events like the special graduate student luncheon allow students to get to know each other, and students say they've made life-long friends at the WLA.
Grads are in the mainstream. Students are fully integrated into panels and events, instead of relegated to graduate-only events that run separate from the main conference. Often, students have the experience of being placed on panels next to the best scholars in the field.
Grads are represented. In recent years, the WLA has gone to greater lengths to ensure that the graduate student population feels that their professional concerns are being met. A graduate student representative sits on the association's Executive Council, the governing body that makes decisions related to the conference and the running of the association's journal Western American Literature.
Grads get career advice. The WLA cares about your academic future. Each conference meeting features at least one roundtable panel session on issues of professional development.
Grads get recognized. Each year the association recognizes excellence in grad student writing by awarding the J. Golden Taylor Award for Best Essay Submitted to the WLA Conference by a Graduate Student.
Grads can grow. The WLA fosters intellectual growth, for graduate students and full professors alike, within a supportive environment. Grads get to be part of a lively exchange of ideas within an energetic, dynamic organization.
Grads can have fun. The WLA's annual conference is held in a variety of locales, so that when participants aren't attending sessions, they can enjoy everything from fine art museums to spectacular nature trails. Organizers plan a host of events, including field trips, readings from world-renowned writers, a banquet and dance, and an annual comic play written and performed WLA members themselves.

Submitting a Conference Paper
WLA's annual conference includes panel sessions where participants read scholarly or creative works related to the literature of western America and culture. Each paper presentation is allowed approximately 20 minutes (which is about 10 pages of double-spaced text). If you need some instruction on how to write an abstract for a conference paper, check out the details provided here: Conference Abstracts. Please see conference details for the current WLA Conference. If you have any questions regarding these awards, contact the current WLA Presidents.
Award for Best Graduate Student Paper Submitted to the Conference
In 1984, the J. Golden Taylor Award for Best Essay Submitted to the WLA Conference by a Graduate Student was awarded for the very first time to Anne K. Phillips (now associate professor and assistant department head in English at Kansas State University). Named in honor of the first editor of Western American Literature, the Taylor Award is a prestigious award juried by a team of experts in the field and given annually to a work of scholarship submitted for the annual conference. Creative work is not considered for the Taylor; however, creative work may be submitted to the association's Manfred Prize, and graduate student participants have been successful in winning that in the past (see Manfred Award). To be eligible for the Taylor award, please submit a conference paper proposal by June 15 and a complete paper of no more than 15 pages (if your proposal is accepted) by August 15, to firstname.lastname@example.com, asking to be considered for the award. Note: The award can only be received once.

The Louis Owens Awards for Graduate Student Presenters
The WLA honors the great writer and scholar Louis Owens for his contributions to western American and American Indian literary studies and for his unfailing generosity as a colleague, teacher, and mentor. The goal of the Louis Owens Awards is to build for the future of the Western Literature Association by modeling Owens' own support and encouragement of diverse graduate student engagement in western literature and culture studies. The Owens Awards are intended to foster ever-greater diversity within the WLA membership, to help broaden the field of western American literary studies, and to recognize both graduate student scholarship and financial need.
The Owens Award consists of a cash award valued at up to $700. (The exact amount depends on donations and on the number of awards given.) To apply, please submit the following materials by Sept. 1 to Prof. Priscilla Ybarra:
1. A completed application form.
2. A copy of your WLA conference proposal.
3. A writing sample of 8-10 pages, double-spaced. This does not have to be on the same topic as the conference proposal but should reflect your work in the field of western American literary and cultural studies.
Download the Louis Owens Award Application 2015. Note: The award can only be received once. For information on writing an abstract, see conference abstracts. All other questions in regards to the Owens Award/s should be directed to Prof. Priscilla Ybarra.

Meet our Owens Recipient from 2013: Renata Goncalves Gomes
To attend the WLA Conference in 2013 for the first time was a unique experience in my academic career. I received the Louis Owens Award for Graduate Student Presenters Contributing the Most Cultural Diversity in the WLA, which afforded me the opportunity to get to know the organizers of the conference and to spend additional time in the Bay Area afterwards. I just felt at home when I arrived at the Berkeley Marina. I had rarely encountered such a friendly environment at a literature conference. As I had been hoping to study abroad for a year, I approached Prof. Richard Hutson, WLA President at the time, with my project. He kindly accepted to be my sponsor for a year as an international visiting researcher in the English Department at UC Berkeley. Furthermore, it was an enriching moment for me to present a paper that would be part of my doctoral dissertation in front of so many well-known researchers in my area of interest. I also vividly remember when I attended the round-table titled "West Coast/Left Coast: The Legacy of Berkeley Fifty Years after the Free Speech Movement," chaired by Prof. Hutson. Annette Kolodny read an amazing paper about her experience in the Free Speech Movement. For the first time in all those years that I had been studying counterculture, I felt a real connection that I couldn't express in words at that moment. But I told Prof. Kolodny later by email; I just couldn't keep that joy to myself. Ultimately, the WLA Conference is an incredible experience for those graduate students who are willing to make progress with their theses and dissertations and their careers in Literature and Culture. It is a chance to get to know some very kind and important faculty as well as fellow students in your area of study. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again soon in Victoria!
—Renata Goncalves Gomes Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina University of California, Berkeley
Professionalization Panels
In 2007, Grad Rep Angela Waldie organized WLA's first annual Graduate Student Professionalization Panel, a roundtable panel session in which fellow graduate students and experienced faculty members give brief remarks on career-related issues, and then the session is opened up for discussion among all those attending. Since then, we have sometimes had two Grad Student Professionalization Panels. Past professionalization panels have discussed why graduate students should aim to publish and ways they can do just that, how to maximize your time and effort when writing a thesis or dissertation, ways to conquer the first-time teacher jitters, transitioning from an MA program to a PhD program, and what to expect at your thesis or dissertation defense. To request a topic for the panel to cover, email your graduate student representatives, Jaquelin Pelzer and Sylvan Goldberg.
Additional Professionalization Information
For additional advice on a variety of professionalization issues, check out In Medias Res, no. 2. Unfortunately, this online newsletter for graduate students, edited by WLA member Evelyn Funda, Associate Professor of English at Utah State University, has been discontinued. (If the link is no longer available, please shoot me an email to let me know.) The newsletter is written by and for graduate students about their concerns regarding their professional lives.

Angela Ashurst-McGee, 1997/98. Angela began work at the journal as the first-ever Thomas J. Lyon Fellow three months before her second son, Logan, was born.Since Angela's fellowship was set up only for one year, she then taught composition at USU. She became the Assistant Director of Writing for English 1010 and helped plan the following year's composition curriculum and train new instructors.
She has worked as a freelance editor and then as the associate editor of the Joseph Smith Papers Series. [You see, those editorial skills do come in handy after all sometimes!] She is now a certified professional resumé writer und the founder and president of Red Rocket Resumé.
A few words from Angela: "My experience at Utah State University was almost uniformly positive. I got a good education taking good classes from good teachers. Faculty members were uncommonly friendly and willing to give advice and act as mentors. The English department treats its master's students like colleagues and professionals rather than peons; comp teachers and editorial fellows work alongside faculty and participate in department decision-making."
Vanessa Hall, 1998-2000.Vanessa graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in English from Washington and Lee University in 1998. She then served as the first two-year fellow at Western American Literature.
Purdue University awarded her an Andrews Fellowship to pursue a PhD. Her major field is contemporary American literature and her minor fields are labor history and women's studies. Her research and teaching interests also include gender and class in literature and culture, Native American literature, and western American literature. Her dissertation is a cultural biography of Raymond Carver.
In the fall of 2007, Vanessa was the first one of our editorial fellows to finish her PhD and become a professor of English. She took a position at the New York City College of Technology in downtown Brooklyn. After the birth of her third child, she decided to retreat to the Poconos, where baby #4 was born.
Sarah Rudd, 1999-2001. Sarah grew up in Salt Lake City and Mexico. She moved back to the Salt Lake City area, where she now works as a realtor. Sarah still thinks folklore rules and she contributed to a book on the history of folklore in Utah. The title of her contribution is "Utah Latino Folklore Studies."
Matt Burkhart, 2000-2002. Matt grew up somewhere around Chicago, came to us from Missoula, and has now acquired a PhD from the University of Arizona in Tucson. He presently teaches at Colby College. His research focuses on western American studies, especially Native American and environmental literature. He won the J. Golden Taylor Award for best paper submitted to the WLA Conference in 2003. From 2003-2005 he served as the graduate student representative on the WLA Executive Council.
Alan Barlow, 2001-2003. Alan grew up in southern Utah and has a BA from Utah State University. His computer skills were indispensable in our office. After getting his master's degree in English, he earned a master's degree in Management and Human Resources at Utah State University and then served as Director of Human Resources at Wilderness Quest in Monticello, Utah. He was the Chief Compliance Officer and Human Resources Director for the Tule River Indian Health Center in Porterville, California, before moving to Fort Yates, North Dakota.
Angela Waldie, 2002-2004. During her tenure as Graduate Student Representative to the WLA Executive Council, Angela started a professionalization panel for graduate students who attend the WLA Conference.

Sarah Vause, 2003-2005. Sarah has a BA from Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, where she grew up. She is now teaching classes at Utah State University and Weber State University. She is still running and hiking in the beautiful mountains of Utah.
Matthew Lavin, 2004-2006. Matt came to us from St. Lawrence University in upstate New York, where he also worked for a newspaper before going back to graduate school at USU. In 2008, Matt was the recipient of the J. Golden Taylor Award for best graduate student paper presented at the WLA Conference. For 2011 and 2012, Matt served as a graduate student representative on the Executive Board for the Western Literature Association. In 2012, he received his PhD from the University of Iowa. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Center for Digital Research in the Humanities, he is now the associate program coordinator of "Crossing Boundaries: Re-envisioning the Humanities for the 21st Century" at St. Lawrence University. Crossing Boundaries is a Mellon initiative dedicated to crossing the divide between private and public knowledge, the classroom and the wider community, real and virtual media for communication and communing with others by using digital technologies both in and outside the classrooms.
Sarah Stoeckl, 2005-2007. Sarah grew up in Salt Lake City. She was awarded the WAG Distinguished Master's Thesis Award for writing the best MA thesis across all departments at Utah State University. In 2012, she received her PhD from the University of Oregon in Eugene.

Graduate Book Review Fellows gain a wide range of experience in the publishing business by learning the qualities of a good book review, the intricacies of professional editing, and the process of taking a publication from submission to layout and then to finished product. This is an opportunity to get hands-on experience with journal publication and gain familiarity with the latest works of criticism in the field of western American literature. Previous fellows have gone on to successful Ph.D. programs and to other jobs in publishing.
Fellows write book reviews in their own subfields of interest and educational background—whether in criticism, fiction, poetry, cultural studies, etc. Acceptable reviews are printed in Western American Literature.
The graduate Book Review Fellow registers for 3 internship credits in the fall semester and is expected to work a set schedule of 8-10 hours a week for the term. During the spring semester the fellow will receive a course release. The duties will remain primarily the same, but the fellow will work more independently. Some hours will be expected during the summer months, but these are hours banked during the spring semester.
The weekly hours will generally be spent keeping track of books as they are received from publishers and as they are sent out to reviewers, contacting possible reviewers, database management, securing permissions for illustrations used in the journal, browsing catalogues to identify books to order for review, copyediting of reviews, and assisting with mailing the issue.
A major aspect of the Fellowship is the invaluable experience of working with academics in the field of literature and cultural studies and being a part of a scholarly journal publication.
The MECF Book Review Fellow must be enrolled in the master's program in American Studies or Literature and Writing at Utah State University. Good writing and editing skills, some computer skills, and a general understanding of American literature are required. If you are interested in knowing more about the fellowship, please contact Sabine Barcatta, the managing editor, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This fellowship is generously funded by the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation in conjunction with USU's English Department and the Western Literature Association.

Section 24 B - Income Tax Act
There are two sections of the "Income Tax Act" of India which will allow you to get a deduction if you have taken a home loan; this, of course, ignores home loans from "private sources" (Friend, Family, etc). The two sections are here under.
- Sec 24(b) of the Income Tax Act, 1961
- Sec 80(c) of the Income Tax Act, 1961
The Section 24(b) is with respect to the "Interest Paid" on the Home Loan and Section 80(c) is with respect to the "Principal Repayment" of the Home Loan.
The Section 24(b) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 is applicable to Home loan for purchase of house or construction of the house property. You can avail a deduction of up to Rs. 1,50,000 of your total tax liability. Also reconstruction, renewal or repairs are eligible for deductions under the said section.

Summer Programs Kickoff at TSTC
Saturday, May 31, 2014
The end of the academic school year signals the start of summer vacation. But for more than 200 students in the Valley, summer doesn't mean that learning takes a break.
The Center for Science and Math Education at Texas State Technical College will host a couple of summer camps starting next week that accommodate middle and high school students mostly from Cameron and Willacy Counties.
The MAARS (Migrant Academic Achievement Residential Summer) Program will be hosting 85 students on the TSTC campus from June 8 through July 23.
The MAARS Program works with high school seniors and juniors and prepares them for college life. Students enroll in the six-week summer program where they come on campus and stay in the dorms. The hope is that early exposure to college life will motivate the students to stay in high school and move on to college.
"They receive two high school credits for attending and they also get a living allowance," director Adan Trevino said. "They do 20 hours of community service while they're here too and the goal is to turn them on to college at a young age."
This is the largest group that TSTC has hosted since the start of MAARS three years ago. School districts taking part in the MAARS Program include Harlingen, San Benito, Mercedes, Los Fresnos, Raymondville, Mission and the Ignite Public Schools System which has students from Brownsville to Weslaco.
Another large group coming to TSTC this summer will be the TexPREP (Texas PreFreshman Engineering Program) cohort.
TexPREP, which gets under way on June 9 and runs through July 24, is open to students in grades sixth through 10th from school districts across the Valley. TexPREP is a four-year program and students are invited back every year depending on their academic standing at their schools.
Students take math and science classes with an emphasis on engineering. All students are bused from their school districts and attend classes from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. over the seven-week period Monday through Thursday. For every year completed, the student gets one high school elective credit.
Trevino said there are 140 students signed up for TexPREP this year. Students are chosen by their school counselors and principals in part because of their grades. Prospective students must also write an essay addressing which STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) field they'd like to pursue. The essays are reviewed by the staff at TSTC's Center for Science and Math Education, Trevino said.
"This prepares the students for the upcoming years in regards to math and science," Trevino said.
Every week, students are treated to educational field trips on Fridays. In the past, students have visited the UTPA Coastal Lab on South Padre Island, United Launch Alliance, Valley International Airport, Gladys Porter Zoo, the Texas Department of Transportation and the Engineering Department at TSTC.
"We like to expose them to the services provided and the fields of study offered at TSTC," Trevino said.

Fesenko, a native of Kiev, Ukraine, turned in his best showing in the 800-meter freestyle on March 28. Fesenko finished seventh in the heats of the event with a national-record time of 7:52.64 on March 27, then moved up to sixth in the next day's finals with a time of 7:53.43.

Conjunctive adverb
A conjunctive adverb is an adverb that connects two independent clauses. Conjunctive adverbs show cause and effect, sequence, contrast, comparison, or other relationships. The adverbs and adverbial phrases that fit the criteria for a conjunctive adverb are always modifiers of the predicate in the first independent clause.
Conjunctive adverbs can only be used to connect independent clauses, and are one of several methods of doing so. Conjunctive adverbs also do not exclude the possibility of having a dependent clause making a compound-complex sentence. As with other types of adverbs, conjunctive adverbs may be moved within the sentence or clause they appear in.[1]
Common conjunctive adverbs[edit]
- certainly
- comparatively
- consequently
- contrarily
- conversely
- currently
- elsewhere
- equally
- eventually
- finally
- further
- furthermore
- hence
- henceforth
- however
- in addition
- in comparison
- in contrast
- in fact
- incidentally
- indeed
- instead
- just as
- likewise
- meanwhile
- moreover
- namely
- nevertheless
- next
- nonetheless
- notably
- now
- otherwise
- rather
- similarly
- still
- subsequently
- that is
- then
- thereafter
- therefore
- thus
- undoubtedly
- uniquely
- whereas
- on the other hand
Many common examples listed above are of adverbial phrases, particularly containing prepositions, that are not exclusively a single conjunctive adverb; however, its function and mechanics are identical.
The following rules are considered to be correct punctuation for conjunctive adverbs:
- If a conjunctive adverb is used, the independent clauses must be joined by a semicolon followed by the verb.
- After a conjunctive adverb must be a comma which precedes the second independent clause being connected.
Like other adverbs, conjunctive adverbs may move around in the clause (or sentence) in which they appear. When they appear at the end of the clause, they are preceded by a comma.
The sentences in question are using an independent clause, followed by a semicolon, the conjunctive adverb, then a comma and the second independent clause.
- He can leap tall buildings in a single bound; furthermore, Dwight is a hog.
- Bret enjoys video games; therefore, he is a crazy nerd.
- He went to the store; however, he did not buy anything.
- Stephanie lent me a barrel of pickled plums; consequently, she is my girlfriend.
- I sat down alongside Adam. Thereafter, he sang.
- Elaine wanted to high-five the friendly giant; consequently, she had to jump to reach him.
- Jade was talking in class; therefore, she got in trouble.

Calallen rolls over Moody, but loses shutout streak
Trojans boot 35-yard field goal with no time remaining to get on the board
CORPUS CHRISTI - Calallen's defense finally gave up a few points, but not nearly enough to make a difference.
The Wildcats thrashed Moody 48-3 on Friday to win their fifth straight game, which nearly ended in the team's fourth shutout until Jonathan Segura nailed a 35-yard field goal with no time left on the clock. Calallen still hasn't allowed an offensive touchdown in the past 20 quarters.
That late field goal is sure to give the Wildcats (5-1 overall, 2-0 District 31-4A) plenty of motivation, especially after a 15-yard roughing the kicker penalty as time expired gave the Trojans another chance.
"It's crazy, but those three points kind of hurt," said senior cornerback Avery Cortez, who returned a punt 56 yards to the end zone for the game's first touchdown. "We take any amount of points personal. We weren't expecting that to happen."
No one did.
Only 1 second remained in regulation when Moody's Isai Caudillo came up just short on a 48-yard field gaol attempt. That set up Segura's kick, the first offensive points Calallen has given up since a 27-7 loss to Port Lavaca Calhoun in the season opener.
The offense has improved just as much since then.
Marcus Price and Robert Maldonado combined to rush for 160 of the team's 202 ground yards. Price scored on a 65-yard touchdown run the first time he touched the ball, while Maldonado crossed the goal line three times.
Quarterback Preston Dorsey went 6 for 6 for 48 yards, including a 2-yard touchdown pass to homecoming king Hayden Wood. Dorsey also had 51 yards on the ground.
"The offense has picked it up and is scoring some points," Danaher said. "It's a team effort."
Calallen set the tone early, forcing a three and out on the game's opening drive. Moody (1-5, 0-2) punted from its 24-yard line, meaning excellent field position for the Wildcats' first series.
The Calallen offense didn't get to find out, as Cortez returned the kick 56 yards around the left side for a touchdown.
Things snowballed in a hurry.
The Trojans picked up a first down the next time they had the ball, but a gang sack for a loss of 7 yards on third and 10 from the 24 called for another punt. Working from the Moody 46, Calallen quarterback Preston Dorsey rushed for 16 yards on consecutive carries.
Dorsey then hit homecoming king Hayden Woods two straight times on a receiver screen to the right, the second completion going for two yards and a touchdown for a 14-0 lead.
A fumble on Moody's next series was recovered by Calallen linebacker Ryan Garcia only 34 yards from the end zone. The Wildcats covered that distance in two plays, the first a 14-yard completion from Dorsey to Woods and the second a 20-yard scoring run by Robert Maldonado.
Leading 21-0 after Jake Brearton's extra point, Calallen still had plenty of time to increase the lead.
The Trojans punted again with only seconds left on the clock, setting up one more play for the Wildcats. Marcus Price took the handoff – his first of the game – and raced up the field, breaking several tackles in the process, for a 65-yard touchdown.
Moody 0 0 0 3—3

Inpatient rehab saved my life. I now cherish every day of it and have the tools necessary to overcome my addictions. Recovery is possible for anyone.Josh G. *San Diego, CA 2012
Ohio Tramadol abuse treatments centers offer something for everyone. From luxury private residential options to stay-at-home programs. Many people are uncertain which is better for themselves, a friend or a family member. There's no single answer. While outpatient Tramadol programs afford the addict the ability to quit using substances at home and unsupervised, this is not always the best course of action. Many of the issues that contributed to the alcohol and drug use are nearby as well. This is why government studies show the relapse rate being lower for 60 and 90-day inpatient substance abuse treatment. Fortunately, many modern programs present a positive, relaxed living situation for their clients, as well as Depade, ReVia or other medically-assisted programs when appropriate.
If you or someone close to you needs assistance for a Tramadol addiction in Ohio, our hotlines are staffed at any time of day with expert advisors, waiting to be of assistance. Don't let an addiction go on any longer than necessary due to fear you won't choose the best rehab clinic. We will assist you in connecting with one at 1-888-512-4610.

Luanda — Angolan dairy products firm Lactiangol will continue working towards improvement of quality to compete with the foreign counterparts, defended its CEO, José César Machado.
The manager told so to Angop when asked on the dairy's products quality, adding that the low customs costs facilitate the entry of great amounts of milk, butter, yoghurt and cheese, becoming thus the prices more competitive.
He said that the main concern is the improvement of the national products quality, so that it is better or equal to the imported ones, as well as work for more efficiency.

This Friday at work, I got the job almost anyone would be more than happy to complete on a Friday afternoon: Picking the newspaper's Top 10 pre-released Super Bowl commercials.
It actually was a bit daunting. I found myself analyzing each commercial for its mass appeal and not really enjoying them.
I closed out of the video I was watching and decided to start over.
It was gut-check time. Anything that made me laugh out loud or want to tear up automatically made the list.
VIDEO: Watch some of the commercials on the Daily News contest page. >>
The premise of Pepsi's "Halftime America," charmed me. I love the townspeople (a rarely heard word, but one that fits here) gossiping about the mysterious Pepsi machines and signs all over town.
It almost made me wish I lived in a small town, or at least was closer to my neighbors.
Budweiser's "Best Buds" was one that I had to email to reporter Kari Barlow, who always gushes with me over animal videos. Think Disney's "The Fox and the Hound," except the Puppy and the Clydesdale. Not a catchy name, I know, but it's a cute commercial.
There were a lot of funny commercials, but the Doritos' "Office Thief" ad had Daily News Interim Editor Wendy Victora and me laughing into the afternoon.
Thankfully, everyone in the newsroom is respectful of one another's snacks.
Check out the videos on the Daily News Facebook page.
And if you hate any of them, just know that my editor made me do it.

Man sentenced for causing near-fatal crash while high on prescription drugsBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | November 15,2012BRATTLEBORO A 32-year-old Brattleboro man was sentenced to 3½ to seven years in jail Wednesday for causing a head-on car crash in April that almost killed a West Townshend man. The crash occurred while the driver was under the influence of prescription drugs, according to court records.
Dustin North was high on methadone, Xanax, and painkillers all but the Xanax legally prescribed for him at the time of the April 25 crash on Route 30 in Brattleboro, court records stated. North and his passenger were not seriously hurt in the crash.
The driver of the other car, Richard Kenyon, 58, of Brattleboro, also escaped serious injury, but his passenger, Joseph Chagnon, 65, whom he had picked up hitchhiking earlier in the day, was airlifted to the UMass Medical Center in Worcester, Mass.
Moments before the head-on crash, other motorists had called police about an erratic driver, who was weaving over both lanes of Route 30 and driving at high speeds. Police found morphine pills and Xanax in Norths car.
At the time of the crash, Kenyon was in Norths lane, but he had driven there to avoid the speeding and weaving vehicle.
Chagnon, a West Townshend resident, told Judge John Wesley that he supported the plea agreement and he hoped that North would get help with his opiate addiction.
Chagnon, who spent four days in the intensive care unit in critical condition, had a severely broken leg, a broken back, broken neck, broken ribs, a broken clavicle and a lacerated liver and kidney.
Walking with a cane, Chagnon said that he continued to improve on a weekly basis.
Get him help for his apparent problem, he said.
After the sentencing, Chagnon said that he bore no ill will toward North. I do have a belief in God. Anger is a negative emotion that doesnt promote healing, said Chagnon, saying he was talking about both his healing and Norths. Its obvious he has a conflicted personality, he said.
Chagnon said that when he read his medical records after he was discharged from the hospital, he was shocked at how bad his condition was. It almost seems like they were talking about somebody else, said Chagnon.
North, in his brief address to the judge during sentencing, apologized to Chagnon, and said he was sorry for the injuries he suffered.
Mr. North, thats a start, but a pretty small start, the judge told him.
North pleaded guilty to a charge of driving while impaired by drugs, with serious bodily injury resulting, and possession of a narcotic, as well as a charge of reckless endangerment for another driving infraction after the accident, despite the fact that North was ordered not to drive.
According to court records, North was on methadone because of an opiate addiction, and that he had also taken Xanax, which he didnt have a prescription for, and gabapentin, a painkiller. North has a criminal record involving drugs, and a federal conviction for possession of guns.
After the crash, North drove again, violating conditions of his release, and was also erratic, forcing a friend to take over driving.
Norths attorney, Christopher Montgomery, said that North was suffering from a back injury prior to the crash. He asked the judge to recommend North for the prison work camp.
Windham County Deputy States Attorney Steve Brown praised Chagnons forgiving nature. He also praised the work of Brattleboro Police Sgt. Mark Carignan. He did a thorough and complete job and we got a fair and just result in the case as a result.
Wesley, an avid bicyclist who himself recovered from a serious accident after being hit by a vehicle, said he was moved by Chagnons display of dignity.

Ahhhh, MidPoint! I look forward to it every year. September, for this lady, holds promise, romance, intrigue and MPMF. I started my MPMF.13 off right: grabbed a baller parking spot right after work in front of Coffee Emporium, grabbed a baller iced Americano and grabbed my (you thought I was going to say baller? How presumptuous) press pass. I think I did say out loud to myself: Let's GOOOO.
The first band I wanted to see was my pal Molly Sullivan at 8:15 p.m. at Japp's Annex. I had some time to kill, so I hung out on the Midway. Sidewalk Chalk was still grooving; they've got a rocking brass section, shimmery drums and soulful singers. I previously saw them on Fountain Square last year as part of the Indie Summer Series, and really enjoyed everything they had to offer. Great fun way to kick off MPMF.
I wandered around the Midway for a bit, checking out the numerous box trucks that comprise the Box Truck Carnival presented by ArtWorks. The Midway itself is pretty awesome, easily accessible and kind of reminds me of a corral for progressively more intoxicated adults. I don't mean that in a derogatory way; I, too, enjoy consuming beer freely in the open on 12th Street. The Box Trucks this year held a lot of potential — I wrote about the Midway for the MPMF Guide in CityBeat a few weeks back, so I was well-briefed on what to expect. Well, kind of.
The first truck I checked out was the Glam Rock Box Truck. Anyone who knows me is aware of the siren call the word "karaoke" holds, so of course I went in.The premise was great (for karaoke nerds like me), but box trucks just don't do karaoke justice, honestly. There are a number of songs to pick from, but not as many karaoke staples as one might expect. And for being called the Glam Rock truck, I didn't really see any Glam Rock hits on the list. The ladies running the truck seemed to be having a good time, though, so I did my best version of "Semi-Charmed Life" and went off to continue leading mine.
I wandered around the Midway some more, stopping in the Short Order Poetry Box Truck, which was 19 kinds of adorable. You step inside the truck, get paired with a stranger who asks you random questions (hi Adam!) and then they'll create a poem, on a typewriter no less, just for you, ready in just about 10 minutes. Mine had a lot of death and blood and dream imagery, just how I like 'em.
I listened to a few minutes of stand-up in the comedy Box Truck before heading to Lucy Blue's. I notoriously put off eating until I'm ravenous, so I decided to carb-up on pizza in preparation for the long night ahead. I met up with friends at Japp's and we ordered drinks and chatted before wandering to the Annex to hear Molly Sullivan.
Every time I see Molly perform, I'm more and more impressed. She's really fleshed her sound out (the addition of friends on the drums and bass is the perfect complement to her singer/guitarist combo), and lots of people are noticing — she recently won the Last Soloist Standing contest at FBs, grand prize being a large cash sum. Molly's a charming vocalist; her voice is flexible and searching, and she's always been good at melancholy intonation. I heard a fresh version of "So It Goes" from the No No Knots days, and some of her newer material had an almost Jewel-when-she-still-had-a-snaggle-tooth quality to it. I really, really dug it. So did a number of other people — quite a dedicated following was there. I'd say Molly Sullivan's first solo show at MPMF was a great success.
I had been planning all week to see Kurt Vile at Grammer's, but there was about half an hour before he was supposed to go on and I ran into my pal Caitlin, who told me the mythical history of Shuggie Otis. I was intrigued, so I walked with her to Washington Park. I still don't know how I feel about the fact that they've moved the stage to the permanent pavilion instead of in front of Music Hall; there's such a grandiosity to playing in front of that gorgeous building that just isn't matched by the pavilion — and I know there are lots of sad Instagram accounts crying right now — but I understand the convenience. We'll see how I feel about it tonight.
Anyway. Shuggie Otis. Skyrocketed to fame by age 21 and receded into the abyss of obscurity? And then he joins David Byrne's label and comes back? Tell me more. Shuggie had a groovy Soul/Funk sound brought to life by a huge backing band, complete with a stellar saxophonist. Glad I caught a few minutes, but I was on a Kurt Vile MISSION, so I started the trek to Liberty Street and Grammer's.
Well, by way of my car. I grabbed a jacket and was headed north, but as I walked by Below Zero Lounge, I heard a voice too great not to stop. If Ryan Adams and Adam Levine and the bearded lead singer from Maps & Atlases had an Asian baby, it would be St. Lenox. He was just plain awesome. I wanted to hang out with him, I wanted him to sing an album of lullabies, I wanted to stay for his whole set, but I'll be damned if I wasn't going to see Kurt Vile.
I didn't see Kurt Vile. Whoever guessed that two paragraphs ago knows that my ominous overtone was poorly done. I got stopped again walking by MOTR, this time by Fort Shame from Columbus, Ohio. I feel like so many times when a woman is a lead singer of a rock outfit, the instinct is to compare her to another female vocalist, but it has to be one who's personality is somehow perceived as similar, or stylistically akin (and I do mean clothes, not just shredding), so I'm not going to compare Fort Shame's Sue Harshe to anyone, because I don't think that's fair and, honestly, it's a little reductive. I'm just going to say that she does credit to anyone singing Rock. And the band had a star saxophonist, which was super fun.
I did hear via Twitter that Kurt Vile sang the word "yeah" for like fifteen minutes at the beginning of his set, so I said it a bunch to myself as I walked back to the Midway to hear Ha Ha Tonka and didn't feel too bad about it.
The first time I saw Ha Ha Tonka was two (or three? who knows) Midpoints ago at The Drinkery. These guys have all gotten hair cuts since then, but they sound even better. They sound like what folky Rock cut with a raucous night of varying emotions that ends with hanging out with friends and beer staring at the river would sound like. You know the kind of night I'm talking about. They're just the tops. Tight and talented musicality and great stage presence is only topped by their impeccable four-part harmony. Just magnetic. Second or third time's the charm, gentlemen.
I finished my night seeing Bleached at the Know Theatre, which last year held all the buzz bands I wished I'd been able to get inside and see (something about being "at capacity"), and I wasn't disappointed. Punk Rock girls with a guy drummer. Ramones cover. Misfits cover. I thoroughly enjoyed my attempt at head-banging AND the fact that these girls didn't try too hard. I feel like a lot of Punk-esque bands nowadays are all like "I AM PUNK! LOOK, SEE, I AM!" but Bleached was more like, "Fuck Punk. We're just Bleached." Own it, dudes.
And then I walked back to my car and went home and passed right the heck out. I'll see ya at MPMF for round two tonight.

For complete info on this year's Whispering Beard Folk Festival, visit www.whisperingbeard.com.
That's a fair but lacking description of the festival, but
only because the programming isn't bounded by much other than the
desire to explore. MusicNOW has showcased numerous flavors of World
music, often new avant Chamber/Classical works, a "who's who" of the top
names in "Indie" music (Sufjan Stevens, St. Vincent, The National, Bon
Iver, Andrew Bird, Grizzly Bear), a few legends (Philip Glass, Kronos
Quartet) and newer and/or more obscure artists, meshing together to
offer Cincinnati music fans (and the many who come in from out of town) a
truly unique musical experience. Sold out audiences have seen
one-off performances and collaborations, including commissioned
works and world premieres.
Below is a sampling of some of the artists featured this weekend — though with MusicNOW's encouragement of experimentalism, take it as merely a surface introduction. The artists will more likely go beyond any pigeonhole you can come up with, which is the best thing about MusicNOW.
• Tonight's kick-off is headlined by Anti- recording artists Tinariwen, a Malian ensemble whose creative North African sounds resulted in a Grammy in 2012 for its fifth album, Tassili. Read CityBeat's interview with Tinariwen founder Ibrahim Ag Alhabib (via translated email exchange) here.
Here's the official video for Tassili track "Iswegh Attay" (with translation!):
• Arcade Fire member Richard Reed Parry has been a part of several MusicNOW festivals, composing commissioned works and playing with bands like Little Scream and Bell Orchestre. This year, Reed Parry will perform the songs of his Indie Folk project, Quiet River of Dust. The project made it's live debut at the National-curated All Tomorrow's Parties fest in the U.K. late last year (where Reed Parry performed three very different sets) and a recording is presently in the works. A review from the music blog Let's Get Cynical described it as "a quirky and engaging performance – the first song I hear is about a boy who gets lost at sea and turns into a fish, if you want some sort of indication of what we're working with. The fact that this is the trio's first ever show also highlights ATP as the kind of festival where you get to see things you don't get anywhere else." Kinda like MusicNOW.
• Rounding out tonight's opener is Buse and Gase, the Brooklyn duo of Arone Dyer and Aron Sanchez, who make trippy avant grade music on various handmade instruments. The group name actually comes from two of those instruments — the "buke" is described as a "six-string baritone ukulele" and the "gase" is a guitar/bass guitar combo.
Here's Buse and Gase's official clip for the tune "General Dome."
• Saturday's headliner is MusicNOW 2013's most known performer, Glen Hansard. The Irish singer/songwriter began catching attention as a member of the group The Frames, then broke out on his own and won an Academy Award for "Best Original Song" in 2008 for "Falling Slowly" from the film Once, in which he also starred. Hansard's first solo album, Rhythm and Repose, was released last summer on the Anti- label (album bonus track "Come Away to the Water" was, oddly enough, covered by Maroon 5 and Rozzi Crane on the soundtrack to the blockbuster film The Hunger Games).
Here's the video for "High Hope" off of Hansard's solo debut.
• Saturday will also feature the performance of new works composed by Dessner, Reed Parry and Serbian composer Aleksanda Vreblov. The new pieces will be performed by the Brooklyn Youth Chorus, which has collaborated with everyone from the New York Philharmonic and Cincinnati native (and Jazz piano master) Fred Hersch to Lou Reed, Barbara Streisand and Talib Kweli. The organization works often with composers on new pieces.
Here's a clip of Dessner working with the Chorus on the piece "Tell the Way" in 2011.
The Chorus will be joined by young string ensemble The Ariel Quartet, which formed in Israel and moved to the States in 2004. Last year, the group was named "quartet-in-residence" at the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music. The quartet has won numerous international awards for its work and has performed all over the world. Also lending a hand with the new works is Shara Worden of MusicNOW vets My Brightest Diamond.
Below is a clip of the Ariel Quartet performing Mozart.
• Last year, music now featured pioneering composer Philip Glass. This year, Steve Reich plays the role of "legend" on the bill. The Guardian's Andrew Clements once wrote that "There's just a handful of living composers who can legitimately claim to have altered the direction of musical history. Steve Reich is one of them," while many others consider Reich one of the world's greatest living composers. Reich's experiments have been fearless and creatively fruitful and influential, be it his early work with tape loops or his interactive "Clapping Music," a 1972 piece performed entirely with handclaps.
Reich will join Sō Percussion for a performance of that piece and more, including a new commission from Daníel Bjarnason (the annual Esme Kenney Commission, named for a young student from School for Creative and Performing Arts student who was murdered in 2009). The Brooklyn-based modern percussion group (featuring Eric Beach, Josh Quillen, Adam Sliwinski and Jason Treuting) formed about a decade ago around the collective influence of pioneering NeoClassical experimentalists like Reich, John Cage, Kronos Quartet and others. Sō has commissioned works from numerous composers and has also been acclaimed for its own compositions. Outside of the modern Classical world, the ensemble has collaborated with artists like Medeski, Martin and Wood, Matmos and Dan Deacon.
Here's a cool mini-documentary from PitchforkTV about Reich and featuring Sō Percussion.
The three days of music are held at Memorial Hall, next to Music Hall, but this year there will also be an art exhibition at another great, vintage Over-the-Rhine venue, The Emery Theatre. An exhibit of works by Nathlie Provosty and Jessie Henson will be up at the Theatre Friday, 4-7 p.m., Saturday, 12-4 p.m. and Sunday, 1-7 p.m. Bryce Dessner will perform at a "gallery party" on Sunday 4-6 p.m. The Emery happenings are free and open to the public.

The Lebanon-based up-and-comers at the All-Nighter Studio want to set your everlovin' music mind spinning this upcoming weekend. They've brought together an impressive array of jammy, funky, folksy and twangy groups for a two-day music festival they're calling Greentree Groove.
This holiday weekend is shaping up to be a scorcher, so be sure to add sweatbands to your "things to bring to Taste of Cincinnati" list (along with your Tums and earplugs). Below are some local music suggestions for Sunday's Taste.
Lollapalooza Day 2 dawned bright and early — I woke up a tad late, having burned the midnight oil too long the night before.
Rule No. 2 of Lollapalooza: Get enough sleep. Always. Especially if you'll be walking every-the-heck-where.
I had been invited to an after-party Friday night, sponsored by Belvedere Vodka, at the W Chicago City Center downtown. I went in my sweaty Lolla regalia, and was rewarded with performances by Two Door Cinema Club and Fitz and the Tantrums.
Duke Energy Center isn't the first place that comes to mind when the words "sacred space" are uttered, but evidently God don't give a damn (sorry — dang) about the venue, just so long as you're singin', praisin' and believin'. The big building formerly known as the Convention Center is the site of the 42nd Annual Gospel Music Workshop of America National Convention.
By all accounts (from people who actually attended or performed), last month's huge Bunbury Music Festival was one of the best-run fests of its kind this area has ever seen. Organizer Bill Donabedian no doubt scored some tips from the operators of the big annual Blues celebration, the volunteer-driven Cincy Blues Fest, which has been doing the "well-run music festival" thing at Sawyer Point Park along the riverfront for many years now.
This weekend, the Cincy Blues Fest — one of the finest Blues events in the Midwest — returns to Sawyer Point to celebrate its 20th anniversary. That's a remarkable two decades of providing Greater Cincinnati live music lovers with some of the finest Blues being made locally, regionally and nationally, a rare and impressive achievement for any music festival.
This year's main stage national headliners are especially strong — Webb Wilder on Friday and Duke Robillard on Saturday — but the Cincy Blues Fest always has a ton of interesting and engaging artists performing throughout the fest's multiple stages.
Aside from the lineup featuring a few higher quality headliners than the past couple of years (like Robillard, Wilder, Trampled Under Foot, Super Chikan, Sista Monica, etc.), this year's 20th anniversary celebration isn't really being overblown, likely because the Cincy Blues Society and the army of volunteers that work the fest always do such an amazing job running the event; it's already quite special, no matter what birthday the fest is celebrating.
One of my favorite elements of the Blues Fest is its undying support for our local players and singers. This year, Cincy Blues Challenge winners Chris Yakopcic and the Noah Wotherspoon Band have main-stage slots (they'll also go to Memphis this winter to compete for Cincinnati in the International Blues Challenge). Yakopcic performs at 5:45 p.m. Friday, while Wotherspoon and Co. play at the same time Saturday (following a band of students associated with the Blues in the Schools program, for which the fest raises money).
The three side stages — always creatively
programmed — have a heavy local presence. Friday, visit the "Blues: The
Next Generation" stage for sets by younger area acts like the Wade
Baker Trio, Brian Keith Wallen Band, Scotty Bratcher and (again!) Noah
Wotherspoon and his band. The "Next Gen" stage starts at 5:15 p.m.
Friday "The Next Generation of Blues" stage lineup
5:15 p.m. Wade Baker Trio
6:20 p.m. Jellico Motel
7:05 p.m. Brian Keith Wallen Band
8:10 p.m. Carson Diersing Band
9:25 p.m. Scotty Bratcher
10:40 p.m. Noah Wotherspoon Band
As the name suggests, the St. Vincent DePaul Local Stage is chock full of local talent. Friday, the stage features Bad Men on a Mission, Them Bones, the Doug Hart Band, Leroy Ellington's Blues Band and Blue Sacrifice.Saturday, catch the Blue Birds Big Band, the Gradual Taylor Band, the Leo Clarke Band, The Juice, Chuck Brisbin & the Tuna Project and Balderdash.
And perhaps the fest's most notable and
renowned side stage, the unique Boogie Woogie Piano Hall of Fame Stage,
on Saturday will feature appearances by Jimmy Rogers, Todd Hepburn, Liz
Pennock & Dr. Blues and Ricky Nye, plus players from across the
planet. The Boogie Woogie stage closes out with a "grand finale jam"
just before midnight.
Saturday Boogie Woogie Piano Hall of Fame Stage lineup
4:30 p.m. Jimmy Rogers
5:10 p.m. Todd Hepburn
5:50 p.m. Liz Pennock & Dr. Blues
6:50 p.m. Ricky Nye
7:40 p.m. Mark Braun
8:30 p.m. Rob Rio
9:20 p.m. Cynthia Girtley
10:10 p.m. Bob Seeley
11:00 p.m. Fabrice Eulry
11:50 p.m. Grand Finale Jam
Here are the lineups for the Budweiser Main Stage this weekend:
Friday Budweiser Main Stage lineup
5:45-6:45 p.m. Chris Yakopcic
7:00-8:15 p.m. Super Chikan
8:30-10:00 p.m. Sista Monica
10:15-11:45 p.m. Webb Wilder
Saturday Budweiser Main Stage lineup

5:45-6:45 p.m. Noah Wotherspoon Band
7:00-8:15 p.m. Southern Hospitality
8:30-10:00 p.m. Trampled Under Foot

Tickets are $20 each day (two-day passes are
available Friday at the gates for $30), or grab yours early through
brownpapertickets.com for a $5 discount. Or you can join the Cincy Blues
Society (cincyblues.org), the creators and managers of Cincy Blues

Machine Head has given us six studio albums with the seventh upcoming in September called Unto the Locusts (listen to the first single, "Locust," below). The band has headlined every Metal festival across the country and has been inspiring up and coming Metal bands for years. CityBeat caught up with lead singer Robb Flynn to preview this week's Mayhem Festival, which hits Riverbend this Wednesday. Flynn discussed the path that Machine Head has taken to get to its place among Metal's elite, the group's craziest fans and the band's new album.
Beginning Sept. 3 at the Art Academy of Cincinnati's Childlaw Gallery (1212 Jackson St., Over-the-Rhine), the people behind the massive photography exhibition FotoFocus will set their lenses on the many great concert photographers in the region.
Reverberation: Capturing the Live Music Experience will coincide with the MidPoint Music Festival, located just off the 12th Street MidPoint Midway (the strip featuring vendors, food, live music the box truck carnival and much more). Hours will be extended during MPMF, with the exhibit staying open until 9 p.m. on Sept. 26 and 10 p.m. on Sept. 27-28. (Normal hours, starting Sept. 3, are 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Mondays-Fridays, and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays). The exhibit closes Sept. 29.
The work of 29 artists will be featured in the exhibit, including shots from legends like Melvin Grier (an award-winning photojournalist who shot many years for The Cincinnati Post) and Michael Wilson (whose portraits have been featured on the covers of albums by The Replacements, Over the Rhine, Lyle Lovett, Ron Sexmith and many others), as well as Maurice Mattei, Sean Hughes, Keith Klenowski and Kara Smarsh. (Click on the names to check out some of the artists' work.)

Yes. General file size modification works since June, ntfscp uses it.
First it was released in ntfsprogs 1.10.0. The others exists only in

My research interests are very broad, but the hub of my work revolves around fishes. From the cell to the whole animal, my research has focused on how fish are able to maintain homeostasis when challenged with a wide variety of exogenous and endogenous factors. Using a multi-disciplinary approach I have paid particular attention to how fish acquire and transport essential and potentially toxic metals, how they deal with varying salinities, changing levels of essential nutrients, blood pH disturbances, oxygen delivery and ammonia excretion. I am now involved in a collaborative project that aims to develop the Biotic Ligand Model (BLM) for marine and estuarine environments.

"The second phase of relief efforts will focus on rehabilitating essential infrastructure throughout the region to reestablish national capabilities to provide for health and basic welfare of the populace, including opening and clearing main roads, rebuilding main bridges, restoring power generation capabilities, digging wells, providing medical support, and rebuilding key structures," said Marine Corps Gen. Charles E. Wilhelm, Commander in Chief, USSOUTHCOM, during a press briefing given to the media at the Pentagon today.
Wilhelm said that during the first phase, which started in late October in the face of severe weather and environmental conditions, the U.S. military established forward logistics and command and control points in the disaster area to support life-saving search and rescue operations as well as deliver emergency supplies and medical assistance to survivors in outlying regions stranded by flood waters and devastated infrastructure.
To conduct these operations, USSOUTHCOM deployed to the disaster area 39 rotary and six fixed wing aircraft together with a Naval Special Operations unit stationed in Panama, equipped with ten Zodiac rubber inflatable boats for personnel rescue. During phase one, U.S. military aircraft in the disaster area have logged more than 1,000 flight hours rescuing more than 700 people, and delivering more than 2,536,000 pounds of food, 94,500 pounds of medical supplies, 69,700 gallons of water, as well as fuel, plastic sheeting, wood, blankets, and other needed supplies. The cost of the first phase is estimated at $35 million.
During the first phase, the airlift for supplies and personnel to intermediate supply points within the region was provided largely by U.S. Reserve components. U.S. Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, and Naval Reserve flew more than 56 humanitarian support flights transporting more than 780 tons of cargo. Air National Guard aircraft assigned to Howard Air Force Base, Panama, completed more than 100 relief flights with more than 620 tons of relief supplies and 475 passengers.
Reserve component air units have also transported to the region more than two million pounds of relief supplies donated by private citizens under the Denton Program.
To support the second phase, the Department of Defense will more than quadruple the number of personnel deployed to the region from approximately 1,300 to more than 5,600. It will also expand the number of helicopters from 39 to 59. Starting this week, a military support package that will include 16 helicopters, as well as engineering and bridging units, medical detachments, a field hospital, and water purification systems, will begin deploying to the area.
The following active component units are either in the region or have deployment orders to Central America for the build up to support relief efforts associated with Hurricane Mitch:
II Marine Expeditionary Force, Elements, Cherry Point and Camp LeJeune, N.C.
Marine Corps 2nd Force Service Support Group, Cherry Point and Camp LeJeune, N.C.
