Drought Conditions Force Difficult Management Decisions For Sacramento River Temperatures
June 16, 2015 - State and federal officials today announced the outlines of a revised plan for managing water flows in the Sacramento River for cities and farms while keeping enough cold water in Shasta Reservoir to avoid high temperatures in the river that could be catastrophic for endangered winter-run Chinook salmon. The Sacramento River Temperature Management Plan, which is required annually, guides the release of water from Shasta Reservoir to maintain healthy fisheries during the summer and fall, when water temperatures rise. In this fourth year of extended drought, with low reservoir storage levels and higher-than-normal predicted summer temperatures, the plan seeks to prevent another catastrophic loss of this year's class of juvenile salmon. Federal and state fish agencies believe such a loss would have devastating impacts to the long-term viability of this important species of native salmon.

By COLLEEN MCCARTHY
Mississippi State UniversityŌĆÖs Department of Food Science, Nutrition and Health spent last week turning a group of third through sixth graders into master chefs.
The department started the ŌĆ£Fun with FoodŌĆØ camp five years ago to teach children about food and nutrition.
ŌĆ£We really saw a need for children to understand where food comes from. We tie the culinary, the nutrition, and the farm together,ŌĆØ said Sylvia Byrd, who coordinated the program. ŌĆ£And we try to bring in reading, writing and arithmetic, because cooking involves all of that as well.ŌĆØ
The program aims to expose children to new foods and get them comfortable in the kitchen. Each day, they were introduced to new foods, like spaghetti squash, and learned how to prepare it. While many of the items are usually pushed around the plate at home, the campers are asked to try everything at least once. This, Byrd said, is where peer pressure tends to come in handy. If a child sees the others enjoying a new dish, theyŌĆÖre more likely to give it a chance.
Words like, ŌĆ£yuckŌĆØ and ŌĆ£grossŌĆØ are banned from the kitchen. TheyŌĆÖre donŌĆÖt have to like everything, of course, but many of the children had discovered new favorite foods.
Later, they used some of those new ingredients to make lunch. The campers are split up into groups that takes care of at least one aspect of the meal, whether itŌĆÖs the salad, main course or dessert.
In the kitchen, they got to show off their newly acquired knife skills and French vocabulary, with phrases like ŌĆ£mise en placeŌĆØ and ŌĆ£saute.ŌĆØ When asked if she was going to use her new cooking skills to help her parents out in the kitchen, Lake Little answered, ŌĆ£More like do it for them.ŌĆØ
They were also taught the importance of food safety. With a little help from some MSU graduate and undergraduate students, the campers learned how to handle knives and work around heat safely and effectively.
After lunch each day, the campers went on field trips to see where many of their favorite foods come from, like a cheese plant and dairy farm.
ŌĆ£Our department wanted to make sure that these children see the foods from production and processing all the way to the kitchen,ŌĆØ Byrd said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve seen that the ability to cook your own food, plan menus, eat together and skills like that have been lost.ŌĆØ
Although most parents struggle to get their picky eaters to clean their plates, at the ŌĆ£Fun with FoodŌĆØ camp, the children developed an appreciation for a wide variety foods.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a lot of hard work every year, but itŌĆÖs always worth it,ŌĆØ Byrd said.

Danny Ainge expects he'll stay put at Nos. 6 and 17
|06.26.14 at 7:40 pm ET
For all the speculation on possible trades up and down in the first round, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said he'll like stay put with his two first-round picks. Of course, he made that prediction 90 minutes before the first pick of the 2014 NBA draft.
Who knows what will happen after that? The Celtics stayed put in 2007 and drafted Jeff Green at No. 5, only to package a deal to Seattle for Ray Allen.
"There's been a lot of conversation over the last month," Ainge said of the interest from other teams looking to move up to take Boston's first pick at No. 6 overall. "A lot of discussions regarding trading of the picks. Trading up, trading back, trading for players. Big deals, little deals. We're ready for some different scenarios but just like all trade deadlines, the draft really isnt a deadline, but it is a time where you've got to make a decision to take the pick or trade it. Probably it looks like most likely that we'll keep it."
Ainge, who said he has "processed" all of the medical information on Joel Embiid, said there's been "a lot more" dialogue on picks this year compared to last year.
"Quite a few real conversations, but a lot that end in a phone call," Ainge said. "A yes or a no. Some go a little bit deeper. Two or three phone calls. Some even deeper."
If Embiid is available, will Ainge be tempted?
"We have processed the information. And I believe in my medical staff. And that's all," Ainge said.
Then Ainge was asked to characterize this group of NBA talent.
"I think early in the year, I said it's a little bit over-hyped," Ainge said. "I think midway through the year i thought it was still over-hyped. Part of that is maybe the player in me. Like, 'C'mon let these kids be kids.' None of these guys are franchise-turners and I still believe that. Everything I said I still believe.
"I've always believed, just like in every draft, there are going to be players that are good, guys that can start, guys that can play in rotations on championship teams. There will be a couple of them. Two or three or four maybe that can become NBA All-Stars. I wish I knew which one of those that would be. I think that when you start making comp to Lebron James and Kevin Durant to kids before they'd even played a game in college, that's sort of unfair. And that's sort of what they hype was that I was referring to as over-hyped.
"Let's let them prove it before we start making comparisons. I do feel like we're going to get a good player at six. A player that I think can be a starter in the NBA. How good they become, time will tell. Players that we'll be excited about adding to our roster, but players I'm not expected to turn us into an immediate winner by themselves."
NBA draft roundup: Celtics, 76ers, Lakers rumored landing spots for Joel Embiid; Kings likely keeping No. 8 pick
|06.26.14 at 2:57 pm ET
Foot and back injuries have caused Kansas center Joel Embiid — once expected to be the first overall selection in Thursday's NBA draft — to slide down the boards.
Embiid's fall has opened up the possibility of the Celtics getting the opportunity to draft the promising big man, something that Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted could be a possibility.
Joel Embiid's seriously in play for three spots in top part of lottery: 76ers (3), Celtics (6), Lakers (7), league sources tell Yahoo.
' Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) June 26, 2014
Embiid, a 7-foot center from Cameroon, averaged 11.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in his only season with the Jayhawks, despite only playing organized basketball since 2011.
— It appears that the rumored deal between the Celtics and Kings, which would include point guard Rajon Rondo and Sacramento's eighth overall pick as the two main components, may not come to fruition.
Yahoo! Sports' Marc J. Spears tweeted that the Kings seem to be content to keep their pick.
The Kings appear poised to keep the 8th pick, sources said.

The Kings have been at the forefront of trade rumors recently, including a deal to acquire Pistons forward Josh Smith, adding him to a frontcourt that already includes DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay.
— With the draft fast approaching, it seems that the 76ers are going all in in an effort to acquire the first overall pick from the Cavaliers and draft Kansas forward Andrew Wiggins.
Tom Cooney of the Philadelphia Daily News tweeted that the 76ers are doing everything they can to pry the top pick from Cleveland.
According to league source, Sixers in full court press with Cleveland to get No. 1 pick. "They really, really, really want Wiggins."
' Bob Cooney (@BobCooney76) June 26, 2014
Philadelphia certainly has many trading chips at its disposal, including the third and 10th overall picks and a host of promising players such as Michael Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel.
— The Celtics aren't the only Atlantic Division team reportedly looking to make a few draft-day deals. The Raptors are trying to acquire the Grizzlies' 22nd overall pick, according to ESPN.
The framework of the deal would be Toronto sending veteran swingman John Salmons and the 37th overall pick to Memphis in exchange for Tayshaun Prince and the 22nd pick.
The move benefits the Rapotors because it would put them in position to select Syracuse guard (and Ontario native) Tyler Ennis.
By making the trade, the Grizzlies would be able to take Prince's $7.7 million salary cap hit off their books for next season.
Three ways to survive in the East: Imagining Celtics president Danny Ainge's phone conversations on NBA draft day
|06.26.14 at 12:49 pm ET
Well, it's here. The day that will shape the Celtics' future, for better or worse. The 2014 NBA draft, where anything can happen happens.
With a wealth of picks, an All-Star point guard, tradeable contracts and expiring deals, Celtics president Danny Ainge is the annoying guy at a party, inserting himself into every conversation in the room.
With only hours left until Cleveland is on the clock, here are the three best possible phone conversations Ainge could have on Thursday.
Danny Ainge: "Hi, Flip, it's Danny again."
Timberwolves president/coach Flip Saunders: "What do you want this time?"
Danny: "Are you sure you don't want our two first-round picks this year, next year's Clippers pick and Kelly Olynyk for Love?"
Flip: "I'm not sure how many times I can say no, but no."
Danny: "But …"
Flip: "No."
Danny: "I'm not sure you've consider quite how awesome Kelly's hair really is."
Flip: "No means no."
Wyc Grousbeck enters Danny's office.
Wyc: "Fireworks, Danny, fireworks!"
Flip: "I'm sorry, did I just hear Wyc say fireworks?"
Danny: "Oh, yeah, we've got this Fourth of July party in a few days. It's nothing. Didn't you get the invite? Anywho, what if I throw Jared Sullinger into the deal?"
Flip: "Let me think about it for a second. Aaaaaaannnnnnndddddd no."
Danny: "Ah, can you hold on for a second?"
Flip: "No …"
Danny puts the phone down. "I'd Do Anything for Love' plays on hold.
Wyc: "We can't afford another losing season, Danny. I met with Bob Kraft, John Henry and Jeremy Jacobs for our weekly tea and crumpets yesterday, and they were all making fun of me, telling me we're the fifth wheel behind the Revolution. The Revs, Danny, the Revs! When Wyc promises fireworks, Wyc delivers fireworks."
Danny picks up the phone.
Danny: "You still there, Flip?"
Flip: "Sadly."
Danny: "How about one of Brooklyn's picks, too?"
Flip: "Just so we're straight: You're offering four first-round picks, Sully and Kelly?"
Danny: "Well, when you put it that way …"
Flip: "You've got yourself a deal."
NBA draft roundup: Magic reportedly trying to move into top 3
|06.26.14 at 11:54 am ET
Joel Embiid's foot and back injuries have created a domino effect leading up to the draft – especially with the holder of the fourth overall pick, the Magic.
The Kansas center's medical issues have caused him to slide on most mock drafts, pushing players such as Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins and Dante Exum higher up in the draft order, and potentially out of Orlando's reach.
As a result, the Magic could use both their fourth and 12th overall picks in an effort to trade into a top-three position in the draft.
"Everything's really fluid at the moment," said first-year Magic general manager Rob Hennigan. "I think there's a possibility we could select at [No.] 4 and [No.] 12, and I think there's a possibility that one or both of those picks could be in play. So our job … is to prioritize what we feel is the best opportunity for us, and then go ahead and try to capitalize on that."
While the Magic have tradeable pieces in Jameer Nelson and Nikola Vucevic, Hennigan would not give any hints on what his team plans to do Thursday night.
"I think the big thing for us is to just stay the course — continue to add to the team, continue to improve the team, and do it in a fashion that allows us to show improvement, [and] allows us to play in more meaningful games next season," Hennigan said. "But at the same time we don't want to skip steps. We don't want to compromise our vision to build a competitive team for a long time.
"If there's an opportunity out there that will allow us to speed that up – great. If not, I think onus is on us to continue to chip away and stay disciplined."
Meanwhile, the Magic reportedly made a move, acquiring Evan Fournier and the No. 56 pick from the Nuggets for Arron Afflalo.
The 21-year-old Fournier, a 2012 first-round pick from France, is heading into his third NBA campaign. The 6-foot-6 shooting guard averaged 8.3 points and 2.7 rebounds last season.
The 28-year-old Afflalo, who would have been Orlando's top returning scorer (18.2 ppg), returns to the team he played for from 2009-12 before being sent to the Magic as part of the Dwight Howard multi-team trade. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard from UCLA has an option to become a free agent after the 2014-15 season.
— Three years after helping the Mavericks clinch their first championship, Tyson Chandler is heading back to Dallas.
The Knicks center, along with point guard Raymond Felton, was traded to the Mavs in exchange for guards Jose Calderon, Shane Larkin and Wayne Ellington and center Samuel Dalembert.
The Knicks also receive both of Dallas' picks in Thursday's draft — the 34th and 51st selections (both in the second round). New York previously did not have a pick in what should be a deep draft on Thursday.
The official Celtics-centric Kevin Love timeline 2.0
|06.25.14 at 2:06 pm ET
The Celtics-centric story surrounding Kevin Love actually began before the All-Star break, but Boston's Love affair reached "Fatal Attraction" levels when the three-time NBA All-Star spent three days in the city a few weeks back.
Since then, Timberwolves president of basketball operations Flip Saunders and Celtics counterpart Danny Ainge have seemingly pulled the puppet strings masterfully, casting sources in a drama worthy of Michael Douglas and Glenn Close. The plot thickens every day, so here's the storyboard updated through the latest episode.
- Feb. 16, 2014: Love declares, "Boston is a great city."
- Feb. 19, 2014: The Celtics are in Love's sights.
- Feb. 26, 2014: The Celtics are the odds-on favorite to acquire Love.
- May 18, 2014: The Celtics, Warriors, Lakers and Suns are making hard runs at Love.
- May 18, 2014: The Celtics are "the sleeper gathering momentum" for Love's services.
- May 19, 2014: Love likes the Warriors and Bulls.
- May 26, 2014: The Kings would trade for Love without assurance he'd re-sign.
- May 26, 2014: Love wants out by July 1.
- May 30-June 1, 2014: Love spends a weekend in Boston.
- June 2, 2014: The Timberwolves expect Love to remain in Minnesota.
- June 3, 2014: The T-Wolves aren't interested in Jared Sullinger, Avery Bradley or Kelly Olynyk.
- June 4, 2014: Sacramento "will trade anything but [DeMarcus] Cousins," lead in Love sweepstakes.
- June 9, 2014: The Suns will offer Goran Dragic, Eric Bledsoe and picks for Love.
- June 11, 2014: At a video game conference, Love will answer all questions except those about the Celtics.
- June 16, 2014: Love won't be traded by July 1.
- June 17, 2014: A C's offer of the No. 6 and 17 picks, future No. 1(s), Sullinger and Olynyk is the best offer.
- June 18, 2014: The Nuggets and Warriors have better offers than the Celtics.
- June 18, 2014: The Celtics are the "heavy favorites" to acquire Love.
- June 19, 2014: Denver's offer of Kenneth Faried, No. 11 pick, Wilson Chandler and J.J. Hickson is better.
- June 19, 2014: The Warriors will include Klay Thompson in a deal for Love, becoming odds-on favorite.
- June 19, 2014: The Timberwolves aren't prepared to trade Love — yet.
- June 22, 2014: The conversation between the Timberwolves and Celtics is put on hold.
- June 23, 2014: Talks between Minnesota and Golden State are "dead."
- June 24, 2014: The Cavaliers offered the No. 1 pick for Love, but he refused to re-sign in Cleveland.
Rumored Kings, Warriors, Lakers, Suns, Bulls, Nuggets and Cavaliers offers have been put out to pasture. All the while, the C's package remains with the possibility of Ainge sweetening the deal. If the Wolves are looking to trade Love — and it seems inevitable given his stated goal to leave via free agency next summer and the ensuing circus the past six weeks — then the Celtics still stand among the favorites (if not the favorite) for his services.

Weekly NBA Draft Watch: Mock draft v4.0
|06.25.14 at 1:45 pm ET
This year's draft is starting to feel like it could be one of the most entertaining in years. Seriously, how could there be any more drama?
The old projected top pick, Joel Embiid, is injured and sliding down draft boards. We have no clue if Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker will be the No. 1 pick by the Cavaliers. We don't even know that Cleveland will keep the first pick — teams like the Magic, Jazz and Celtics are rumored to have interest.
The Celtics also are rumored to be one of three finalists to acquire the No. 8 pick from the Kings. Then the Lakers seem pretty serious about trying to package Steve Nash and the No. 7 pick in an attempt to get young talent. Or, dare I say, the Lakers could be trying to clear cap space to make a play on Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James.
A mock draft seems almost pointless since we are expecting so many trades. Let's not forget that Kevin Love's name will be one we hear in rumors a few times Thursday. Expect to see one of the wildest drafts in recent memory, but if there is less movement than expected, here's how it could shake down.
1. Cavaliers, Jabari Parker (Duke, freshman) — Embiid has been projected as the top pick for a while, even with his back issues. His broken foot is a whole different monster, though. Those two red flags will cause him to slip, and Parker is the best player in the draft right now. Wiggins will get a look here, especially if the Cavs are looking for a player to fit alongside LeBron (in their dream scenario). Owner Dan Gilbert wants to be very involved in the pick, and he reportedly likes Wiggins. That's a risky strategy for Cleveland, so just take the sure thing in Parker — the Cavs really can't afford to blow this one.
2. Bucks, Andrew Wiggins (Kansas, freshman) — The Bucks now hold the easiest pick in the draft. Sit back and see what the team with the top pick does, then take the other top prospect. If Parker goes No. 1, then Wiggins goes to Milwaukee to play with a decent young core. The Bucks may prefer one to the other, but they have to be pleased either way it plays out.
3. 76ers, Dante Exum (Australia) — Philly ends up the biggest loser as a result of the Embiid injury. The Sixers would have been the team that ended up with the third top prospect that was passed over, but now they have a difficult choice to make. Embiid probably still is too risky this high in the draft, so Exum is the best overall talent available. Exum would either come in to be a backcourt-mate to Michael Carter-Williams or to take MCW's job if the 76ers look to trade the Rookie of the Year.
4. Magic, Marcus Smart (Oklahoma State, sophomore) — With Exum off the board, and Orlando seeking a point guard, Smart makes sense with this pick. Of course, any of the big men on the board will be tempting to the Magic, but they have been most interested in Smart and Exum all year.
5. Jazz, Noah Vonleh (Indiana, freshman) — The Jazz already have a lot of young talent in their frontcourt. But if all the guards are taken early, and Utah does not trade up, Vonleh may be the most appealing piece. Vonleh is more capable of stepping away from the basket than the remaining bigs; that could be the determining factor.
6. Celtics, Joel Embiid (Kansas, freshman) — One of the big questions of the draft becomes how far Embiid will slip. Danny Ainge will face a tough decision if he slips to No. 6, and in the end he won't be able to pass up Embiid's potential. If Ainge is unable to add an All-Star caliber player through a trade, Embiid is a fantastic fit for the future to play alongside Jared Sullinger in a rebuild scenario.

A recent fact-finding trip to Baghdad and Najaf suggests that such fears are exaggerated.
Barbara Walters told the Washington Post it was "exaggerated."
(Laughland has long claimed that reports of Serbian-created mass graves in Kosovo were either fabricated or exaggerated).
1530s, "to pile up, accumulate," from Latin exaggeratus, past participle of exaggerare "heighten, amplify, magnify," literally "to heap, pile, load, fill," from ex- "thoroughly" (see ex-) + aggerare "heap up," from agger (genitive aggeris) "heap," from aggerere "bring together, carry toward," from ad- "to, toward" + gerere "carry" (see gest). Sense of "overstate" first recorded in English 1560s. Related: Exaggerated; exaggerating.

Speech Therapists in the United States are largely women. The group as a whole has a nationwide average of $56K per year for pay. Pay ranges from $43K on the low end to $100K per year on the high end. Geographic location and tenure each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Just under one in three of professionals in this line of work do not receive benefits; however, the larger part report medical coverage and a little over a half claim dental coverage as well. For the most part, Speech Therapists enjoy their work and report high levels of job satisfaction. The data for this synopsis comes from respondents who took the PayScale salary survey.

Copy and paste this HTML:
A speech therapist is a specialist who works to diagnose and treat many different speech, language, and voice disorders. The therapist will evaluate speech and language test results, hearing ability, and medical background to diagnose the issue and then plan, develop, implement, and monitor the appropriate treatment for problems like stuttering, delayed speech skills in children, swallowing disorders and voice problems. A speech therapist keeps records of the initial tests and evaluations, treatment, patient progress, and eventual discharge upon completion of the planned treatment. Quite often, treatment involves teaching patients communication techniques and speech, muscle, and breathing exercises to practice at home during and after treatment. The job is not physically demanding but can be mentally and emotionally taxing, as progress can be slow and the therapy is not an easy process. A speech therapist needs to be attentive to detail and must have the ability to focus in order to properly diagnose the issue and assess the need for any other medical intervention. Speech disorders are usually related to other conditions, so speech therapists must be able to work as a team that includes other healthcare professionals. The therapist must be able to comprehend and empathize with patients and their families. A master's degree in speech pathology is required for the job, as well as supervised clinical experience and an acceptable passing grade on a national examination. At least nine months of post-degree professional experience is needed, as well. The ability to properly diagnose patients and plan out the correct treatments only come with the years of experience end education required for the job.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Speech Therapists, level of experience appears to be a somewhat less important part of the salary calculation — more experience does not correlate to noticeably higher pay. Those who have worked for fewer than five years take home a median salary of $61K, and workers with five to 10 years of experience earn a higher $67K on average. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $71K. Old hands boasting more than twenty years of relevant experience report pay that is more or less commensurate with that extensive experience; average earnings for this group come out to approximately $78K.
