CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- Chattanooga Mocs Head Coach Will Wade made his first big announcements today exactly one week after he was hired. Wade introduced new assistant coach Wes Long, formerly the head coach at Queens University of Charlotte, as well as his first two signees – Justin Tuoyo (pronounced TOY-yo) and Anthanee Doyle.
Below is the transcript of today's news conference:
Will Wade on Wes Long
Thoughts on Coach Wes Long:
"I am proud to announce Wes as one of our new staff members here at Chattanooga. We attended college together. We were more acquaintances than I would say friends. He played at Clemson and we worked together after that. I've gotten the chance over the last four or five years since I have been at VCU and other places – as North Carolina was one of those areas we recruited pretty hard – that I got a chance to stop in and watch Wes and his team practice. He is a little bit calmer than I am - which is good. He can calm me down. I was very impressed with the culture he built and brought to his basketball program at Queens. We share the same core values, and he going to be somebody that other guys on the staff can bounce ideas and questions off of. He is going to have a big say in our half-court defense and is going to work with our post players."
Wes Long
Reaction to his hire and what he likes about the program:
"Will is right in saying that we weren't friends in college. I don't think I ever saw Will outside of the basketball facilities. We have different personalities. But as we both went through this profession in the last decade, we really got to know each other. We came in to our own, both as coaches and philosophically, what we believed in for student-athletes in a program. We would talk a lot. I always hoped that he would invite me to be on his staff. I was just afraid that with Will that might be in Oregon or somewhere, and I wasn't really interested in moving that far. Luckily, Chattanooga is an unbelievable place. When he called me a few weeks ago about Chattanooga, I sat up right away and thought wow that would be unbelievable. I had a really good job in Charlotte, it was terrific. It is a great place with great people. It would have taken a special opportunity for me to leave that at this point in my career. I consider this a special opportunity. I grew up in Greeneville, S.C. Butch Estes was the coach at Furman at the time. They had some pretty good teams around the same time ETSU and Chattanooga were both really rolling. So, I used to go to the 'Big Brown Box', the Memorial Auditorium, and watch games there as a kid. So I know what this conference can be. I've been in Charlotte when Steph Curry did what he did at Davidson. I've watched a lot of good SoCon basketball. This really excites me. With all that said, I think Chattanooga has the best tradition out of any of them. For two days, that is what I have seen a lot – tradition, tradition, tradition. I think with a guy like Will, at a place like Chattanooga, we can write some more chapters. This is just a really intriguing opportunity and I would have been crazy to say no."
On his philosophy, in terms of up tempo play, and if it fits with the Chaos Wade is bringing to Chattanooga:
"We didn't play that way, but I'm not opposed to it at all. That is his system and I believe in it. I think for a mid-major program, you have to have a brand. I'm with him on that 100 percent. I think that makes you exciting and attractive to maybe a higher-level recruit and you can surprise some people. I think that is well-calculated with Coach Smart and Will at VCU. I think it works. Will is very intelligent in a lot of ways. He wasn't going to take a job he couldn't recruit to that style. So, he took the job in Chattanooga. I think we have a chance to be a great success."
Will Wade on Signees
Thoughts on VCU transfer Justin Tuoyo:
"We are really excited about Justin. He is a critical piece to a winning program. I have coached him for a year. He is long and athletic, and I have known him and his family for over three years. He is from right down the road in Georgia, just on the south side of Atlanta in Clayton County. He will be a great resource for our guys here now because he's been through it all. I think he will be a critical piece for us because he knows exactly what I want, he knows what I am about and he knows exactly what our system is about. I was very thankful that he wanted to come to Chattanooga. He has never stepped foot on this campus. His first day of school will be his first day on campus. It is really a leap of faith for him. Coach Smart had a hard time parting with him because he recorded a lot of double-digit minutes on the floor for us at VCU in our last five or six games. He's a versatile guy. He's long, he's athletic and he's a phenomenal shot blocker which is something we need in the backend of the press. He has tremendous timing on blocking shots. I am really excited to have him in Chattanooga."
Thoughts on Anthanee Doyle:
"Anthanee Doyle addresses three major needs that we have. He can handle the ball, he is a very, very good three-point shooter and he is really long and athletic. He can really hound the ball. He is going to be able to guard the ball in the full-court and he has a great wing-span. He is about 6-foot-3, so he is a longer guard so he is really able to combine his quickness with his length. He can engulf the ball and that is something we need in our full-court press. He is a great student and comes from a great family. We are very fortunate to sign him, and I feel blessed that he wanted to come be a part of this program. He has never been on campus either so it is a leap of faith for him, as well."

The high school football season is still several weeks away but schedules for teams are available to fans who may want to start marking dates on their calendar.
Schedules for public schools in the state are posted on the South Carolina High School League website: www.schsl.org. To locate schedules for teams you follow scroll down to the bottom of the homepage to find the Football Schedules section. Schedules are organized alphabetically so simply click on the icon for the group that includes the school you are looking for.
Practice for public high school teams opens Aug. 2. Most teams play their first game on Aug. 30 but there are some exceptions.
Summerville opens its season with a Thursday night game Aug. 29 when it will host Cane Bay. Last season the Cobras stunned the Green Wave by opening play for their first season as a Class AAAA team with a 10–3 victory over Summerville so the Green Wave will have revenge on its mind.
Summerville will also face Berkeley County teams the next two weeks. On Sept. 6 the Wave will make the trip to Moncks Corner to take on one of its oldest foes, Berkeley High School. On Sept. 13 the Wave will host a team that has had its number the last couple of years, Goose Creek.
Fort Dorchester opens its 2013 campaign by hosting Carolina Forest Aug. 30. The Patriots will then travel to Cane Bay Sept. 6 and host Stratford Sept. 13.
Ashley Ridge opens its season by hosting Goose Creek Aug. 30. Last year the tone for both teams was set when the Gators trounced the Swamp Foxes 48-16 so Ashley Ridge should have no problem getting motivated for the rematch. Ashley Ridge will then face a couple of Charleston County teams, traveling to Wando Sept. 6 and hosting West Ashley Sept. 13.
Fans who love rivalry games may want to clear their schedule for the evening of Oct. 11. That is the evening Fort Dorchester and Summerville will open Region 8-AAAA play against each other. This series has brought some epic battles over the years and there is no reason to expect less this year.
Ashley Ridge will have to wait until the end of the season to get a shot at its two cross-town, interdistrict rivals. The Swamp Foxes will travel to Summerville Nov. 1 and then close the regular season by hosting Fort Dorchester Nov. 8. The Swamp Foxes got the best of the Patriots in last year's regular-season finale so Fort Dorchester will be looking to turn the tables this year.
Ashley Ridge opens region play Oct. 11 when it hosts Colleton County.
Some schools open their football season Aug. 23 during what many refer to as Week Zero.

At CAMC Urgent Care Center - Southridge301 RHL Blvd., Suite 3 South Charleston, WV 25309 (304) 388-7010
Sprains and strains are the most common types of non-bone injuries. They can occur anywhere in the body, but typically involve an extremity. These injuries are due to abnormal stretching of the tissues around a joint (sprain) or of a muscle or tendon (strain). Often there is swelling and discoloration. Treatment consists of resting the affected part, sometimes with the help of external splints or wraps. Physical therapy may also be recommended, particularly with sports injuries. Follow-up care is important to assess for any long-term problems.
What is a sprain?
A sprain is a wrenching or twisting injury to a ligament. Sprains often affect the ankles, knees or wrists.
What is a strain?
A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon, and is often caused by overuse, force or stretching.
How is a sprain or strain diagnosed?
Your physician makes the diagnosis with a physical examination. Diagnostic procedures may also help evaluate the problem, such as:
What are the symptoms of a sprain or strain*?
*Symptoms may resemble other conditions. Always consult your physician for an accurate diagnosis.
Treatment for sprains or strains
Specific treatment for a sprain or strain will be determined by your physician based on your overall health and medical history and extent of the injury.
Initial treatment includes rest, ice, compression and elevation (R.I.C.E). Other treatment options may include:

Both versions use the same frame, with differences in the seatpost and the front end. The two seatposts let athletes choose from a wider range of seat-tube angles, with the TT version specifically designed to help athletes meet UCI regulations on saddle position (with the TT post, the bike's effective seat tube angle is 75 degrees, 79 degrees with the tri post). The fork on the triathlon version has deeper-than-UCI-legal blades (6:1 airfoil shape, as compared to 3:1 on the TT version), a cowling over the front brake and a "beard" that hangs under the stem and makes the headtube deeper. Together, these additions make the front of the bike more aero. Despite lacking some of the triathlon model's aero details, Cervélo says the TT version only has about 10 grams more drag.
New Components Complement the P5
The bike is designed to work with new parts from 3T and Magura; both companies worked closely with Cervélo on development. Magura RT TT hydraulic rim brakes stop the bike, bringing back a brake style last popular in the 1990s. Cervélo says the system is lighter than (less than 500 grams for the RT8 TT) than existing cable-actuated systems. It's also more aerodynamic, thanks to shaping by Cervélo, and more powerful than a cable brake. Part of the advantage is that the hydraulic lines are unaffected by complex internal cable routing, which creates friction, and sub-par braking. Since the system is sealed, and uses hydrophobic mineral oil (instead of hygroscopic like most DOT fluids), they should require almost no maintenance, barring any damage to the lines or fittings. Magura backs them with a "five-year leakproof warranty." There are two versions of Magura's lever; the RT8 has a carbon lever, the RT6 an aluminum lever.
The RT TT's were designed with wide rims in mind, and a quick-release switch to open the arms for wheel changes. They mount using a standard center bolt, making them compatible with other frames. Likewise, the P5 is compatible with other brakes if you're not into hydraulics. You'll find one potential drawback should you stick with the hydraulic system: Shimano's Di2 brake levers have integrated shifter buttons, letting you shift from both the base bar and the extensions, making a technical TT much more manageable. By going with Magura system, you potentially lose some of electronic shifting's advantages.

Kustom has been an American Icon since they first roared to life in the 1960s. Founder Bud Ross built Kustom with a vision that mixed rock and roll with high-speed hot rod culture, resulting in amplifiers that were decked out in sparkling car upholstery. Musicians responded with a resounding "Outta sight!" and with that, Kustom was peeling out to take their place in music history. Throughout the years, Kustom amps have been used by some serious heavy hitters in the music world. John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Leon Russell, The MC5, Johnny Cash, and Herbie Hancock are just a few of the names who have plugged into Kustom amps. Even today legends like Brian Wilson and Tracii Guns continue to trust their sound to these amazing amps.
With that pedigree behind it, it's obvious why you're looking for a Kustom amp of your own. With plenty of options to choose from, you're certain to have no trouble finding a Kustom to suit your needs. To make your selection process even easier, take some time to think about the style and features you need. For example, do you have your heart set on a premium half stack? If so, check out the KG100HFX and KG412 Half Stack. This awesome amp is versatile and able to dish out everything from the heaviest scooped out metal tones to that chunky classic rock sound we all love. Loaded with 100 watts of power, the KG100HFX and KG412 Half Stack will have you sounding amazing on the stage and in the studio.

With how the 1st version did and bad news travels faster then good news that's the stake that could kill it no matter what you do; and with so many MMO's already out there it would have to do something drastic or really beyond anything you could do to actually get people to turn their heads and say "I'll give it a try."
I say it's all in the collectors edition, what they put in it that really hits home with Final Fantasy fans that might make people give it a try. With those people trying it and liking it they might tell others and gather in more people.
Maybe even do the Item Mall with classic Final Fantasy costumes to draw some in. It's going to take some good marketing to even make a scratch in the community.

Everyone keeps saying how they are making a whole new game- and i just dont see it .
If we go by what they say, they have almost completely removed everything old from the game and remade it. In a year.
IN A YEAR-while also updating the failed version.
I just dont see making an MMO that fast. Sorry :(
EDIT: Where are the gameplay videos for this new release? It is surely in their best interest to show how awesome they've made the game to win back customers. But they aren't. Which tells me cash grab :(
I'll be using my free week to make sure tho, but im not getting my hopes up
The Deep Web is sca-ry.

If they were building it from scratch, I'd say an MMO developed in a year would be gross, but they have the frame of the FFXIV MMO. They just need to do vast overhauls on poorly designed systems of the previous development team.
I liken it to Square Enix taking forever to make FFXIII but being able to crank out FFXIII-2 shortly after and FFXIII-3 almost just as quickly.
Still, we don't know if it's enough, so we'll have to wait and see.

Nothing surprises me these days, luckily I am getting into the industry to create my own surprises.
OP, It is this kind of response that I absolutely loathe. When people react like this they warrant game companies to give up on their products when they fail, rather than fix the issue. . . I would much rather see a company dedicated to their product and customers; a company that has enough humility to admit their wrong doings and try to correct them. We have plenty of SOEs out there. Give Square another chance--let them show us what they've got.

For some of those that may have missed the point.
This is a Devil's Advocate type piece. Here's one view, the negative, and next week we have the positive. Let's boil it down to this is the dumb-dumb "I h8 FFXIV 4EVA" category, whereas next week we will have a considered, informed, and more forgiving approach.
It was meant to be tongue-in-cheek and cause debate. That's the point.

How can that be a cash grab is those who already bought it will not have to pay the box and it wil have a free trial. If they wanted to do a cash grab they would not have done this re-make, they would simply lets FFXIV in its state and continu to charge a sub (yeah plenty of people kept paying for it) and move along. Like every others compagny out there.
Now just for the record they been working for 2 years on this not 1 years, and you do know that SE has a shit load of employee. So yeah i thinks is possible.
Now like you said we will see.

Due to the IP the company is still trying to sort the MMO out, that is good. Today semi successful means you are in the trash bin, trying to make a decent MMO after a bad start is something we should applaud. It took AO about two years become the game they wanted to realease at launch. In todays climate you don't get two months let alone two years to prove yourself.
So I wish them all the best and if they do pull it of it will highlight how the launch, sell well then crash and burn stratergy is a poor one for the genre.

You know I had this discussion witht he rabid delusional final fantasy fanbois when ffix was in the final betas.
I said the game is awful it isnt eve a game, they said hah! this isnt the game there will be a big patch for the real game.
then it was the open beta, they said the same things.
then it was pre release early access I still said wow this game blows there is no big patch, they said HAHAHA you just wait this is only the early acess the real release will have a huge patch make it awesome!!!
Release day game, nothing changed.....but now they said HAHAHAHA wait for the first big patch square always releases a big patch later makes the game awesome FFXI online was lousy like this at release and NA got the game after the first big patch...
Fast forward the first patch changed nothing, the game was still atrocious but now the fanbois said, screw you I think the game is fun gtfo FOTM MMO GUY!!
Fast forward, you just wait The kingdom reborn is a total remake dude it will be awesome YOU WILL SEE!!!!
Barnum was right there are suckers born every minute.
You could say that about every MMO.
No Thanks,
Reasons I would not play this game. "Again"
Pre-maturely Released.
Failed on release.
Failed after multiple patches.
Ask for feedback from current players, after they paid for the game. As if it where still in beta!
If we continue to give game developers 2, 3, and 4 chances to get it right, they will continue to put out fail games. Take our money! "Re-develop" with these new found funds to put out another half ass game that gets us by till something better comes along.
Its a WOW clone. Most of the MMO communtiy, from what i have read in most forums, are bored with the WOW style. It in my own personel opinion it is played out and very old. Every developer now is trying to crack into WOW wealth. They have seem to have lost there Identity.
Final Fantasy has been a great series. But they need to find there own nitch and stop relying on another developer to come up with something new or cool and just to use the idea many years later to branch off of and make a similar game with diffrent lore.
To the developers out there....
Did you get into developement to copy others or to be original and do new cool things in the gaming world. I know you think ways to pay, f2p, p2p, and things of this nature are new. But they are perks in my mind. New to me is the things they make the game fun. Graphics, Comunity, Story, Quest that glue you to your seat for 3 hours. Chalenges and feel of having accomplished something. I know its a good game when the sun starts to rise and im still playing... and It dawns on me that i am going to be late for work. This part is called "DEPTH" which many games today are missing and what WOW lacks.
What's funny is that you said players shouldn't give developers multiple chances to get things right, so you believe they should be limited to getting it right the first time.
This would lead to more copying than less copying. If there is no room for failure, there is no room to try out new ideas. FFXIV may take some from WoW, but they also tried a lot of new things such as the character class and skill system. FFXIV did not do so well.
So you're saying we shouldn't give them another chance? Once you sink millions into an MMO and fail at release, expect that money to just be unrecoverable? If that's the case, why would any publisher want to back any MMO that isn't identical to WoW?
What a silly way of seeing things.
I never said anywhere in my post, nor has it ever been said development was risk free. If there where no risk in game developement there would be hundreds of game fails like we see now.
They have reduced the risk to produce failures cause we as the gaming community continue to give them multiple chances to get it right.
You buy a car that has been road tested and it falls apart... You act on a law called "Lemon Law" to get this car replaced.
You go to the Doctor and he screwes it all up..... You act on a law of mal-practice.
You buy a crappy game... There is no law granted you payed 50-120 buck for the game.. not the end of the world right! But thousands of people payed for this same crappy game. Do the Math on the $50 dollar mark. "Millions" of dollars obtain on the basis of a risk free develpoement style.
We all should start developing.. its basically a bunch of chloning with changes to pixellls and lore and looks of chars.

Also, doctors performing procedures are not encouraged to be innovative. There are experimental procedures, but the patient usually has to sign paperwork saying that they understand the risks involved.
Car makers can and should test cars to make sure that they are safe and reliable. If the cars end up not being safe and reliable down the road, there are recalls for that, and people do sue. What we're talking about is people liking the design of the cars, and if you buy a car after test-driving it and you don't like the current state it's in--knowing full well that cars do not get patch updates--, you're on your own.
Bad analogies aside, no game or software can release perfectly to the varying tastes of millions of players. You could argue that console games and single-player games do, but they receive patches as well. There are also many less variables in designing single-player and console games, outside of the obvious massive multiplayer console games.
I get it. You want things to go well at release. Everyone does. You don't want to give things a second shot. That's your own prerogative. But outside of MMOs spending even longer periods of time in development, your expectations are unrealistic.
SWTOR spent an extremely long amount of time in development in the hands of a very notable developer of single-player games, and even they couldn't get it right.
You bring to light my points so well.
Everything else has a backup, recalls, lawsuites, ect.
Gamers have no backup, we spend money, the game flops we are out. There is no recall.... no lawsuits nothing... We are screwed. So yes the only recourse we have is to expect higher expectations from our developers that expect this money of ours.
Also the point you bring to light is another developer that failed again by reminding me of SWOTR. THESE are big named developers, with alot of backing and some excellent teams that in the past have put out some great games that may have needed some tweaking. Sure a little tweaking and some updating a bug here and there reasonable.. AND entire game that has completely failed and is in no way close to what these developement teams are capable of is what i refrence.
The bottom line is we do not expect absolute perfection. But the outright total failure we have seen from developers like SE and Lucas is obsurd. AS if to me they do not try to even get close.
There is only one set of people that keep the developers on there TOES and that is the gaming community itself. If we lower our expectations and just except the poorly developed games, they will continue to develope them. At some point the cycle has to stop. Who can stop it? The developers have no cause for stop they are losing nothing. Most people would rather play something and complaine about it, rather than to play nothing at all.
Trust me, I would much rather be playing an alltime great MMORPG right now, but i am currently in the hunt for one that can keep me entertained.

Posted at: 01/21/2013 11:45 AM
MOSCOW (AP) - The Russian government says it is sending two planes to Lebanon to evacuate Russians from Syria, the first such effort since the uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad began in March 2011.
The Emergency Situations Ministry said two of its planes will fly to Beirut on Tuesday to carry more than 100 Russians from Syria.
Monday's announcement appears to reflect Moscow's increasing doubts about Assad's ability to cling to power and growing concerns about the safety of its citizens.
Russia's Foreign Ministry has said that it has contingency plans in place to evacuate thousands of Russians from Syria.
Russia has been the main ally of Assad since the start of the conflict, using its veto power at the United Nations Security Council to shield the Syrian strongman from sanctions.

Wednesday, April 10, 2013
One of the first steps has been taken to put the Berkeley County School District's $198 million bond referendum in place, as contracts were awarded to four firms from across the state last week.
The Berkeley County School Board unanimously approved the notice of intent to award and project assignment at its regularly scheduled meeting in Moncks Corner on March 26.
Fourteen firms submitted and four were awarded – four for the renovations and three for the new schools, BCSD Deputy Superintendent Archie Franchini said. Each firm holds the required state licenses to do the work, have worked on similar projects and provided information on their past projects.
The awards were poised to became effective April 8, according to a BCSD document. Two awards are for new elementary schools. The contract for the Sheep Island Road elementary school was given to Contract Construction, based in Irmo.
The contract for the new elementary school in the Hanahan area was given to H.G. Reynolds Company Inc. of Aiken.
Thompson Turner Construction of Sumter was given the award for Goose Creek High School renovations, according to BCSD documents.
M.B. Kahn Construction Company Inc. of Columbia was awarded the contract for Stratford High School renovations.
In other business the board approved a contract for the purchase of 1,125 security cameras. The cameras range from 1 – 2 megapixels and have focal lengths of 6mm or 12mm. This contract was awarded to A3 Communications Inc. of Irmo. The estimated valued of the contract is $651,300.

Recently came into possession of an underfolding stock. This was removed from a (then) illegally converted MAK-90, and was removed by a gunsmith. I personally dislike the underfolding stock, so I'm for trading it off.
It appears to be complete. Seems to have all the parts, to include the springs, pins, nut, button, sling swivel, ect. I don't have the trunnion.
I have no idea where it comes from. Could be China, Russia, I dunno. It's parked and has no identifiying marks.
I did mention this was removed from a MAK, but it's important to know that this was not an underfolding stock reciever. So, bubba relieved the inside of the stock where it would clear the bottom corner of the reciever. He used a dremel. It's really not that bad, and not real noticeable, but it is there.He also did some polishing of the pivot pin as well. I wouldn't use it for a high dollar kit build, but should be OK for a "general useage" or a learning build.
Well, I'm open to most offers of gun/knife related items. I have no idea what this thing is worth, so I have no idea what to ask for. Whatever looks best will get it. I know, lame, huh? Think of it as a sealed bid auction.

Similar to washers, dryers come with steam options, stainless steel drums, accessories, color options, and even extended tumble features.
Now, more than ever, energy efficiency is an important feature to consider when purchasing a frequently used appliance. Energy Star qualified washers will cost less over the life of the appliance even if they cost slightly more at the time of purchase.
Unfortunately, clothes dryers do not qualify as Energy Star appliances because most dryers use similar amounts of energy to dry clothes. New standards will be effective within the next few years forcing dryers to become more energy efficient.

The Sagebrush Sea
One of the most overlooked ecosystems on the continent consists of a massive sea of sagebrush that stretches across 11 states in the American West. This spartan yet spectacular landscape supports more than 170 species of hardscrabble birds and mammals, including the greater sage-grouse. Once each year, males emerge for days on end to strut and display as prospective mates for discriminating females, which mate with only one or two of them. Females must then raise their chicks on their own, with little food, water or shelter to sustain them, while plenty of predators wait for their smallest mistake. Today, they must also contend with wells and pipelines tapping the resources buried deep below. The sagebrush and the grouse carry on, but they're losing ground.

Too close for comfort? Living Near Major Roads May Impact Your Health
EPA researchers and partners are studying the local health effects associated with roadways and other "near-source" air pollutants.
Noisy car and truck traffic may not be the only problem for those living next to a major road. Being close to the road may also cause health problems, especially for children and the elderly.
A recent EPA-funded study ("Residential Proximity to Major Roadway and 10-Year All-Cause Mortality After Myocardial Infarction" Circulation. May 7, 2012) conducted by researchers at EPA's Clean Air Research Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center found that heart attack survivors who live less than 100 meters (328 feet) from a major road have a 27 percent increased risk of dying over 10 years than those living at least 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) away. The study is another addition to an emerging body of science showing that people who live, work, or attend school near major roads are at increased risk of health problems related to roadway air pollution.
Other health effects associated with near roadway exposures include asthma, cardiovascular disease, low birth weight, pre-term birth, premature death, reduced lung function, and impaired lung development in children. EPA scientists are investigating the health impacts, types, and amounts of air pollutants emitted along major roads and other 'near source' air pollution sites, such as airports, rail yards, and ports.
"In order to protect public health, we need to study near the sources of air pollution so that we can provide solutions for reducing or minimizing exposure and potential health impacts," says Dan Costa, the national program director for EPA's Air, Climate, and Energy research program.
Results of the work provide important information to urban and transportation planners and state air quality managers working to reduce pollutant levels and protect public health. For example, the near-roadway research contributed to the development of the School Siting Guidelines, an EPA publication produced, in part, to help school districts evaluate potential environmental hazards when picking locations for new schools.
The near-source research engages scientists and engineers from a diversity of disciplines and includes many partners.
Other examples of near-source research include:
Along the Road
- In partnership with the University of Michigan, researchers are conducting a major study exploring near-road air pollutants and related health impacts on children who suffer from asthma. (See Can Highways Contribute to Asthma? "EPA Science Matters," February, 2001.)
- EPA scientists are also investigating how road design and roadside features (sound walls, vegetation, buildings) may be used to reduce air pollution exposures.
- Check out a video about EPA's "air-sniffing" car used for studying air pollution along the road
Along the Port
- EPA researchers are conducting a long-term air monitoring study to assess impacts from emission improvements at the Port of New York and New Jersey. The port is the third largest (by tonnage) in the country and the busiest on the East Coast.
- EPA scientists are studying how expansions to the Panama Canal—expected to spark an accompanying increase in oceanic trading and ports—may lead to rises in air pollution along the Gulf Coast and East Coast of the U.S.
Along the Tracks
- EPA recently finished a major rail yard study located near Chicago and is analyzing the data collected. A second rail yard study is planned for Atlanta (expected to begin in mid-2012).

3 years ago I had a great pregnancy. At 39 weeks I was induced due to size of baby and favorable cervix. I labored 18 hrs and pushed for 3. During labor and delivery my bp was extremly high. Around 205/130's...the nurses and my doc didn't seem concerned. After I was extremely swollen head to toe. so swollen my eyes were crossed! I don't remember having my vitals checked while in the hospital I was so in and out of it and we were sent home the usual 48 hrs after. I remained swollen and I felt terrible.
The 3rd night home I felt like I couldn't breath. I was still so swollen and had a horrible headache. My husband, an emt had me call my ob the next morning and she told me to go straight to the er. My bp was sky high and I was started on LASIK. They ran test after test and I stayed in the hospital on the cardiac unit for 3days. They stabalized my bp and I lost 41lbs of fluid. I was sent home with bp meds, iron, and potassium.
At my 6 week check up with my cardio doc I was cleared and able to stop my meds. They said I had developed preeclampsia and it caused me to have congestive heart failure. I have been normal and healthy since bp running about 110/60's. I am a runner and very healthy otherwise.
I am currently pregnant with #2. the beginning was great I felt good. Around 12 weeks I began to feel bad. Like a hangover....headache, dizzy, vision trouble, tired. My husband checked my bp and it was 138/85. A couple of days later I had an appt with my ob for my 12 week checkup. My bp that day was 138/88. My ob wasn't concerned, she said it was just 1st trimester issues and prescribed me migrane med. I had an allergic reaction to that and was back in office the next day, bp up again. A different ob was concerned and told me to watch it at home. If it got above 140/90 to call. 2 days later it got up to 149/95 and they had me back in for 24hr urine and blood work. It came back normal and a few weeks later the day before my 16 wk check up my vision went dark on me and I fell while at work. My bp was 149/99. The next day at my appt my bp was still up and my ob was very concerned. She called my cardiologist and they put me on labetlol 100mg 2x day. I was still not feeling good and had tried several meds for my headache which none have helped. I have had numerous tests ran all are normal.
I saw a maternal fetal doc and he found my platelet level is very high and ran bloodwork for genetic testing which was all normal. He put me on baby asprin and fish oil daily hoping it might help me feel better with no results...they were both leary about calling me preeclamptic because this has started so early. My urine has been up and down at each doc appt for protien...it's been traces and 1+ and none. I go back in to my ob in a few days for my 24 week check up. And I don't know when I will see my mfm again.
Could this be preeclampsia developing slowly???? Is the way I'm feeling a sign of pree??? I feel like I need some idea of what is going on. The past week or so I have developed nausea and can't eat a lot. I'm worried that this is pree and am curious as to what may come down the road. Working is hard, I'm on my feet all day and feel out of it. I'm worried it may not be safe. My bp is stable with the exception of it rising while busy working it goes up to around 130/80's.
Should I be concerned??? Thanks so much for any info!!
