There was a time — like before 2007 — when Jersey dairy cattle were hard to find in the Texas Panhandle.
Then Hilmar Cheese Co. opened a facility in Dalhart and the region's dairy landscape changed.
"This is the fastest-growing area of Jerseys in the United States in the last seven years," said Cherie Bayer, development director for American Jersey Cattle Association.
That's why AJCA, headquartered in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, is holding its two-day conference this weekend in Amarillo Civic Center.
For just the third time since its first conference in 1966, the association, which has 2,400 members, is meeting in Texas.
"There was really nothing here as far as Jerseys until the Hilmar plant was built," Bayer said.
Now, Denise Skidmore, spokesperson for Hilmar, estimates there are more than 70,000 Jersey cattle — including milking cows and young stock — in the Texas Panhandle.
Almost all of the milk produced finds its way to Hilmar.
The original facility in California and Dalhart prouduces 700,000 pounds of cheese daily.
"The Panhandle region is supportive of agriculture and the dairy industry, and we appreciate the assistance of so many people and businesses," said David Ahlem, vice president of Hilmar's cheese operations.
Sieto Mellema, a Dalhart dairyman, added Jerseys to his farm operation just prior to Hilmar expanding to the Texas Panhandle.
He has 3,400 milking cows and 4,000 more in young stock on his dairy farm two miles north of Dalhart.
"Hilmar coming added a huge amount of profit potential," he said. "It became so much more economically feasible to haul the milk only a few miles away."
The Jersey dairy cow is noted for its high component of milk, Bayer said. Its milk is high in solids — fat, protein and other nutrients — and produces a high cheese yield.
"That higher component in the milk makes the quality better, especially in cheese production," Mellema said.
"They are just ideally suited for that."
The Jersey is a smaller dairy cow, Bayer said. The size difference means the breed uses 11 percent less land and 32 percent less water than other dairy cattle. The Jerseys have a carbon footprint — less to eat, less manure, less space — that is 20 percent below other breeds.
"Water is a huge issue out here," Bayer said, "and in the dairy business, it's nice to have a cow that makes more efficient use of water and land and suits the market for milk and cheese production."
In the U.S., there are an estimated 854,000 Jerseys, a little more than 9 percent of the 9.2 million dairy milking cows. Bayer said estimates are 1.5 million by 2020, or 17 percent of dairy cattle.
"Because they are smaller, you can house them easier. They are adaptable to heat more so than Holsteins, and they are more efficient in the amount of feed they turn over into milk," Mellema said. "They're just very efficient milk producers."

Whether you're thinking catch-of-the-day or the best burger in Manuel Antonio, you'll find our lunch menu can't be beat for variety and freshness. Our chef takes pride in—and you'll take pleasure in–his inventive use of the finest local ingredients.
Forget those North American imitations: try an "original" they will delight your palate the way nachos were meant to
Finger food for Adults (and Kids, too) never tasted so good
This is the one you've been dreaming of: Mixed Greens, Tomato, Cucumber, Heart of Palm, and Avocado bathed in a light Lemon Dressing with your choice of Chicken Breast or Grilled Mahi-Mahi
You've had it before, but you've never had it this good: Mixed Lettuces, Green Beans, Hard Boiled Egg, Black Olives and Fresh Tuna gently tossed with a red-wine vinaigrette
A robust version of the perennial favorite; hard to improve on
But why not add Chicken Breast or Mahi-Mahi to round it out
All burgers are cooked to order and served with our crisp, finger-lickin' French Fries, offering yet another excuse to indulge your ketchup addiction
Our 6-oz. version of heaven: a mouth-watering beef patty grilled to perfection and nestled in a bakery-fresh bun, with or without cheese.
If it's been a while since beef ruled YOUR roost: our savory chicken burger, made of breast meat seasoned with the chef's secret blend of "good things," will make you forget you ever ate red meat.
Yep, this one's for you: fresh from the Pacific Mahi-Mahi filet, grilled to a juicy turn and served with Ranch Dressing. Never had a fish burger before? Try it…you'll like it…
Maybe not too serious…but all terrific and all served with our famous finger-lickin' French Fries
It's a perennial favorite, and no wonder: marinated Mahi-Mahi, sautéed with red onion and bell pepper, nestled in a corn tortilla with shredded lettuce, avocado, and pico de gallo. This creation gives new meaning to the word "scrumptious"
Simply the best sandwich on the island: breast of Chicken with Honey-Mustard dressing served on an 8" sub roll.
Fresh tuna filet, pineapple, lettuce, tomato, all wrapped up in a flour tortilla…the authentic fresh flavors of Central America combined into one great sandwich
Face it, you won't find this on the menu back home: Chicken Breast, Mango, Lettuce and Tomato rolled up into sensual blend of taste, color, and texture. Not to be missed!
Our nod to an old classic: chicken, bacon, lettuce and tomato served on French bread. It's hard to improve on perfection.
Or simply traditional without the chicken.
A good old fashioned "hot dog" and finger-lickin' French Fries
Always a hit with the little ones, a grilled cheese sandwich with our finger-lickin' French Fries
Kick it up a notch! A grilled ham & cheese sandwich with our finger-linkin' French Fries

With less than 48 hours until the funding deadline set by Philadelphia's schools chief, the School Reform Commission has called a meeting Thursday to consider actions he says will give him more flexibility to run schools whenever they open.
Word of the special session came amid signals from city, state, and school officials that they were still working to meet what a Corbett administration aide called Friday's "doable" deadline and open the schools Sept. 9, but they weren't there yet.
Because the district is still facing a deficit of more than $270 million and reeling from massive layoffs, Superintendent William R. Hite Jr. said he would ask the SRC to suspend parts of the state school code dealing with seniority so that employees who are recalled can return to the schools where they worked in June.

Although Liverpool is coming off a memorable week of defeating both Manchester United and Manchester City, many fans will still view the Red's season as some what of a disappointment in the making. Currently sitting in seventh spot in the English Premier League, 18 points behind league-leaders Manchester City and six points back of Chelsea for the coveted Champions League spot, Liverpool must bolster up their roster to have a shot at claiming a top-four finish by season's end.
It would also be possible to salvage their season through earning hardware in the FA Cup and Carling Cup competitions, both of which they are now certainly among the favourites to win. However, what Kenny Dalglish desires most is for his squad to make a charge at a Champions League birth for next season. Six points back with 16 matches remaining is surely not an unattainable task, but making some key transfer window signings will give them the best chance.
Scousers and diehard Liverpool fans have witnessed an impressive defensive campaign this season, giving up the second-fewest goals in the English Premier League while boasting a back-four that is growing in confidence. The return of Steven Gerrard from a string of injuries has provided a much needed flair in the midfield.
Despite the stellar and emotional play of Luis Suarez since making Anfield his home, Liverpool's inability to score goals has been their Achilles heel all season. Dalglish must sign another striker, or two, to compensate for a struggling Andy Carroll. They need an attacker who is able to pick up the scoring pace rather than try to set an all-time record for hitting posts and crossbars in a season.
Here are a handful of names that Kenny Dalglish should highly consider for the stretch run of the season:

DETROIT (AP) - Bill Ranford, the backup Detroit goaltender, ran out of luck, and the Colorado Avalanche continued their winning ways on the road, snapping the Red Wings' playoff unbeaten streak with a 5-3 victory Tuesday night.
The Avalanche, 4-0 on the road in the playoffs, scored on five of their first 23 shots to snap Detroit's winning streak at 11 games, dating back to last season.
The Red Wings, seeking their third straight Stanley Cup championship, have a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 second-round series which continues Thursday at Joe Louis Arena. Game 5 will be Sunday in Denver.
With recently released POW Christopher Stone watching from the box of Detroit owner Mike Ilitch, the Avalanche got goals from Claude Lemieux, Theoren Fleury, Dale Hunter, Chris Drury and Aaron Miller.
Steve Yzerman, Tomas Holmstrom and Vyacheslav Kozlov scored for the Red Wings.
Ranford, the 1990 NHL playoff Most Valuable Player with Edmonton, was starting his third straight game in goal in place of the injured Chris Osgood, who is out with a sprained right knee.
Despite playing little since being obtained along with three others before the March 23 trading deadline, Ranford had been remarkably solid during the first two games - including a 4-0 victory in Game 2.
But the Avalanche, who had been preaching self-discipline while losing twice in Denver, finally heeded their own advice in the first period - and it paid off. Colorado took only one penalty in the period and skated off with a 2-1 lead against the Red Wings, who were short two men when the Avalanche broke through.
Penguins 4, Maple Leafs 3
PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittsburgh Penguins just won't go away - either from the playoffs or the National Hockey League.
Jaromir Jagr scored the tying goal in the third period, and Jiri Slegr got the game-winner 1:40 later as the Penguins took the series lead by rallying to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Penguins trailed 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 before Jagr, no longer visibly bothered by his lingering groin injury, scored his first goal in three games at 9:03 of the third, and Slegr got his first of the playoffs at 10:43. Jagr also had two assists.
With their future in Pittsburgh in doubt beyond this series or this season, the Penguins will take a 2-1 lead into Game 4 Thursday at the Civic Arena.
The victory came only hours after NHL lawyers told a federal judge that an out-of-town buyer has stepped forward to move the bankrupt Penguins if former star Mario Lemieux isn't successful in his takeover bid.

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Grouper' category.
To close out April, here (and at the end of this post) a photo of Grouper in Lyons a few weeks ago before the Canal was brought up to level and opened for traffic. Thanks to Bob Stopper.
How lucky can some people get!?@#! Bowsprite caught this photo last fall as she was leaving New London harbor. The tugboat is John P. Wronowski.
From Maraki, it's Heidi eastbound past cow pastures and
fleetmate Rikki S westbound.
How's this for an unnamed push boat . . . the one that moves
Martha Lewis when needed, and when no longer needed because the skipjack is under sail, just gets hauled up on davits. I guess technically this prime mover is not a tugboat, she is a push boat. Here's a youtube of Martha Lewis getting trucked away, sans push boat, for repairs. Anyone have updates on her getting into the water this season? Click here (and scroll) for a photo of Silk, the push boat dedicated to skipjack Stanley Norman.
And from my visit to Chelsea Creek last week, here's another shot of (for me) the unidentified small tug, and
in gloucester, it's Mikey D with Horizon looking over the stern.
Closing this post out, it's looking eastbound across Grouper's bow. I've said it for years and will say it again, I hope some one takes this project on.
Thanks to Bob, bowsprite, and Maraki for these photos of really random aka sundry set of tugboats.
I'm trying to catch up with the photos you all have been good enough to share on tugster. The first five here come from some salts up on the Caloosahatchee Canal in Florida. John Parrish was westbound here, but a week later it showed up in the sixth boro, and by publication of this post, it's already back to Norfolk. That's some sea miles. Here are some of my previous photos of John Parrish.
Also, westbound in that Canal, it's Brittany Beyel. She's Beyel Brothers equipment, who have a dramatic photo on that link.
This one's eastbound on the Canal with a crane. I can't quite make out the name, but the the steersman has great visibility.
Boomalong was getting hauled out. Her fine lines made me think she has a storied past, and it turns out she does. She began life in 1944 in Owen Sound, ON as HMCS Neville, HMCS being Her Majesty's Canadian Ship. She's a Russel Brothers boat that has been around, currently quite far from
Sault Ste. Marie.
Thanks to Jed, who previously contributed many photos, here's a photo and text: "it's Stephanie S (1986) returning to Port Canaveral after escorting the bulk carrier VENTURE out of the port."
From Birk Thomas, it's Barents Sea, now over in Port Newark, having moved for the first time in at least five years. She looks rough, but I'm hoping there's a make-over in the works for her. If she moves again, I'd love to see some photos.
Here's my photo of W. O. Decker, docked at Caddell Dry Dock, being worked on . . . or waiting for Wavertree to make her promenade back to South Street.
From Jason LaDue, here's a good view of the underbelly of Grouper, frequently referred to in this blog. Such belly will be visible until the pool level of the Erie Canal is brought back up for the start of the season. Jason's also a frequent contributor.
Now here's an oldie but goodie from the other JED. It shows Labrador Sea and Taurus, significant because now that Taurus is being phased out, Labrador Sea–which had worked on the Mississippi and Gulf for the past few years, has moved back up here into Taurus' place, I'm told. And they're in K-Sea colors.
And I said "and more" in the title? Here's the more, a new dock book from Tony Acabono. If it's your business to know where berth 60 is in Port Elizabeth in relation to berth 61 in Port Newark, you might want to check it out.
Many thanks to the secrets salts and the not-so-secret ones for sending along these photos.
This is the series for photos from all over.
First, from Bob Stopper, who makes it his business to –among other things–document Erie Canal life up in the county where I grew up, it's . . . can you guess what's under all that snow?
It's a hibernating Grouper. I've done more than two dozen posts on this boat, which I keep hoping comes back to life. Here's a post that shows her working on the big lakes, the northern coast of the USA.
And from the Maraki crew currently getting their passports stamped in the Conch Republic . . . some Stock Island residents . . . like Robert W. Tomlinson (ex-YT-399 Numa) and
Dutch tug turned yacht Itinerante (ex-Havendienst 1, Vulcanus).
Here's one of my photos: that's Iver Foss tailing the big ZPMC Shanghai-built crane as RORO Hoegh Shanghai follows them in through the Narrows last week.
Some photos from Brian DeForest . . . Joyce D. Brown delivering a crane barge as
RORO Don Juan rolls some vehicles off and some others on over in Port Newark.
Here's are two photos lacking a photographer both showing Tradewind Towing Rachel powering
USS SS Mount Washington AOT-5076 on its final voyage. The photo below I screen-grabbed from the Crystal Serenity, which is now off Japan. Mount Washington is at the scrapyard and Rachel is preparing for the next job.
This photo comes from the Gatun Locks webcam.
Bowsprite caught these three last week: apparent L to R, Arabian Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and Patricia in Red Hook.
Thanks to Bob, Lucy my sister, Franco for standing in the cold with me at the Narrows, Brian, bowsprite, and the remote cameras for these photos.
Thanks to Jason . . . first two fotos by Franz Von Riedel. During the early 1980s, the North American Towing Company bought the Green Bay, renamed her the Oneida and moved her to Duluth, Minnesota. This foto comes from her time working the Twin Ports (smoking away) until roughly 1987, when
Wellington Towing purchased her for work around Sault Ste Marie. Great Lakes Towing bought out Wellington Towing about 1990 with the tug going to Cleveland as the Alaska. This is a 1998 Alaska foto by Franz.
Here she was in Lyons in 2000, foto by Jason LaRue.
At this moment , November 2011 she awaits her one-century mark in Lyons, NY. As the crow flies, she's only a dozen miles from Lake Ontario.
I'm hoping the Kahlenberg fires up soon. I'm routing for you.
Bottom two fotos taken yesterday, November 28.
More Detroit fotos soon.
Next week I might pass through the Erie Canal town of Lyons, NY, where Grouper again appears forgotten, bereft of a future. Last spring had brought some hope, but . . .
These fotos come from Jason LaDue, who knew her while he was growing up in the vicinity of the Soo. Foto below by Troy Wilke. Jason writes, "That rare (and large) Kahlenberg smoked like no other but always delivered the power. I was onboard her several times when moving saltwater vessels to and from the Algoma Steel facility in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario."
Next year 2012, Grouper has a one CENTURY anniversary, 100 years of life, the last decade and a half of which she seems in a coma. Here was my original Grouper post, followed by 67 comments!
These fotos by R LaDue show what spirit this vessel had as Iroquois
Many thanks, Jason. I plan to use more of your fotos soon.
Transitioning from the "farm tugs" post, enjoy Governor Roosevelt, sister of Governor Cleveland, both came to the canal to break ice and do other tasks in 1927 as steam tugs. If you add the ages of Governor Roosevelt, Governor Cleveland, and Urger . . . you have almost three hundred years of boat work. I found Roosevelt hauled out last weekend along the Erie Canal in Lyons.
Edna (1997) was hauled out for some work recently along
Here's a first sighting: Coney Island, built by
Blount in 1958. Here's George (a 2009 vessel with a simple name) taken recently in Lake Charles, LA.
And (once again . . . might she be languishing?) Grouper, a year away from a century old. This is how she looked last weekend, and I'd love to hear an update on efforts to bring her back to life, lest she become HMS (heavy melt steel).
George foto comes thanks to eastriver; all others by Will Van Dorp.
A quick and dirty post on the 1912 tug formerly known as Grouper. New name will be forthcoming. The following four fotos show the removal of the DRXC Hercules diesel, which runs the generator and would, among other things, run the compressor to fill the air tanks. Note the electrical board to the left. This foto looks forward on the starboard side.
The owner Marc is looking for a parts engine.
This engine is headed for a shop.
Completely unrelated but some fotos of a vessel that newly acquired a whole new legacy: CVN-70 appeared on tugster here in December 2010.
The two boats here–Grouper (1912) and Elisabeth (1925) –have nothing to do with each other, but they clearly illustrate two extremes of restoration. Elisabeth lies starboardside to in Schiedam, whereas
same is true of Grouper in Lyons, New York.
Here's another shot of
Work on Elisabeth these days entails polishing and wiping down, but on
Grouper it means studying diagrams and
referring to typewritten instructions from
–who knows–a half century back.
But Grouper will get there. I invite you to weigh in on the project. Meanwhile . . . from the many mouths of the Rhine, Fred sends his greetings and salutes the American readers.
A final two words about Elisabeth here: first, she's vying for Dutch tug/pushboat (opduwer) of the year . . . to be named during the Netherlands National Tug Day, June 2, 2011. I'm trying to learn how/if at all non-local readers might participate. Second, here's Elisabeth, foto taken yesterday, National Windmill (molen) Day. to mark the completion of reconstruction of the Camel, a malt/gin mill in Schiedam originally built in 1715.
Unrelated: Happy Seattle Maritime Festival this weekend. Wish I were there. I'd be happy to post any fotos from there.
More on all these projects and events soon. Thanks to Alen and Angela Baker for the Grouper documents and to Fred Trooster for the Elisabeth fotos.

Frum Democratic Candidate Promising to Turn Republican
Latest update: November 8th, 2012
This has to be a first in American politics: a candidate who vows to leave his party, if need be, even before the elections!
According to the NY Post, Simcha Felder, Democratic challenger in the New York State Senate for the 17th Senate District (including parts of Borough Park, Flatbush, Midwood, Kensington and Sunset Park), says he will caucus with the Republicans and vote for Republican Dean Skelos as Senate majority leader.
Felder, whose late father Rabbi Harry Felder was spiritual leader of Beth Aaron Congregation in Borough Park, was adamant on his promise that "I said I would caucus with any party that will allow me to deliver the most to the 17th Senate district and its constituents."
Republican David Storobin squeaked by Democrat Lew Fidler in a special election to replace former Senator Carl Kruger (D), who was convicted of bribery.
Felder, running against incumbent Republican State Senator David Storobin, is also deputy comptroller for budget and accounting of the City of New York (appointed by Comptroller John Liu).
The Jewish Press has endorsed Simcha Felder for the NY Senate.Yori Yanover

The Consolidated Plan is a five-year strategic plan that sets out a collaborative vision for community development in the Portland area, based on an analysis of the best available data about how well the local housing market meets the needs of area residents. A consortium of the City of Portland, Multnomah County, and the City of Gresham develops the Consolidated Plan, with public input. The 2016-2020 Consolidated Plan was approved by HUD on August 15, 2016.
The Consolidated Plan places an emphasis on how federal funds distributed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will be used to meet the local demand from low- and moderate-income households for: (1) affordable rental housing and home ownership opportunities and (2) opportunities to build incomes and assets. The expenditure of federal funds on local strategies to end homelessness has become an increasingly important part of the Consolidated Plan as economic conditions have pushed more area households into homelessness.
In addition to the Consolidated Plan, members of the Consortium also publish annual Action Plans. The Action Plans describe how federal grants such as CDBG and HOME, and other HUD housing and community development funds will be used in the coming year to carry out the strategies outlined in the Consolidated Plan.
Below you will find the current Consolidated Plan and 1st One-Year Action Plan and notices for hearings and ways for the public to comment. The previous six-year Consolidated Plan, as well as information on the Bureau's Citizen Participation Plan. and Federal Funding Oversight Committee are also available.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Pfizer said late Monday that the co-primary clinical endpoints were not met in the Phase III trial of an Alzheimer's treatment being led by an entity of Johnson & Johnson's Janssen Pharmaceuticals unit.
Janssen Alzheimer Immunotherapy (AI) R&D joined with Pfizer in setting change in cognitive performance and functional performance compared to placebo as the co-primary endpoints in Study 302, a Phase III trial of intravenous (IV) bapineuzumab in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease who carry the ApoE4 (apolipoprotein E epsilon 4) genotype.
Study 302 is the first of four placebo-controlled Phase III studies to reach completion in the comprehensive development program of bapineuzumab IV by Janssen AI and Pfizer, which are partners in the Alzheimer's Immunotherapy Program (AIP). Janssen AI is leading two Phase III studies of patients who are ApoE4 carriers (Study 302) and noncarriers (Study 301) at sites primarily in North America. Also, Pfizer is conducting two Phase III studies of patients who are ApoE4 carriers (Study 3001) and noncarriers (Study 3000) at sites primarily outside of North America.
Studies 301, 3000, and 3001 are continuing "as planned and without modifications," Pfizer said in a statement.
Topline results from Study 301 in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease who do not carry ApoE4 are expected to be announced later this summer, Pfizer said, while the Pfizer-Janssen AI alliance will expedite completion of an interim analysis for Study 3001, based on the results of Study 302.
"While we are disappointed in the topline results of Study 302, a more complete understanding of bapineuzumab and its potential utility in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease will be gained following the availability of additional data, including data from the soon-to-be available noncarrier Study 301," Steven J. Romano, M.D., senior VP and head of the Medicines Development Group with Pfizer's Global Primary Care Business Unit, said in the statement.

Rooting for Martinez because I feel he's earned to be where he is today. He fought tough fights and even got screwed over in some of them but now he's at least in the top 10 of most P4P lists.
Jr. on the other hand got to where he is because of his father's name. Maybe not his fault but it is what it is. If he was not the son of the legendary Chavez he'd have been matched tougher a hell of a lot sooner. He damn sure wouldn't have over 40 wins with no defeats. With his style that would damn near be impossible.
If he beats Martinez good for him. It would be the first scary opponent that he would ever beat. Question is does Arum and company keep matching him tough afterwards? I doubt it.

McCloskey: Breidis Prescott's Power Faded Before Six
Paul McCloskey produced a strong comeback to beat Breidis Prescott on a unanimous points decision in the WBA light-welterweight title eliminator. Prescott dominated the early rounds in Belfast but Dungiven fighter McCloskey seized control as the Colombian tired. Two judges scored the fight 114-113 with the other going for 115-113.
Prescott, who knocked out Amir Khan inside one minute in 2008, had McCloskey taking a count in the first round for a knockdown although it appeared to be a push. McCloskey shuddered after taking a strong right in the sixth round but by now Prescott was beginning to tire.
"I'm happy with the way I won that fight," said McCloskey, who suffered a points defeat on cuts by Khan in a world title challenge in April. "I started off terrible - he was outjabbing me in the first couple of rounds and I just had to find a way around it.
"Early on he hit hard but from the fourth or fifth round the power seemed to dip and I felt that. "I'm a skilful fighter but I've got a big heart and I dug deep against world class opposition."
There needs to be a rematch it was clearly a drawComment by daggum on 09-11-2011
if it faded after the 6th why were you hurt by a counter hook in the 12th and even after the bell rang wobbled into the ropes trying to find your way to the corner?Comment by Hassan93k on 09-11-2011
It was very clear that prescott was tiring around the 6th. After all thats what we expect from a bumComment by Steward on 09-11-2011
Yummmm. Doesn't he mean the judge's perception to proper score fights faded when it was agreed the fight would take place in his home country? A decade of adoring this sport and I see stuff like this still happens. This…Comment by flint on 09-11-2011

Severe Weather Public Works Response
The City of Vancouver's Department of Public Works encourages businesses and residents to be prepared in advance of inclement weather, lend a helping hand to neighbors where needed, and avoid unnecessary travel when severe weather impacts street conditions.
The information below can provide you with the facts and tips you may need should severe weather should strike. We're also interested in continuing to improve our communications and service. If you have questions about this information found here or suggestions, please let us know by sending an e-mail.
Top Priorities for Vancouver's Streets:
When severe weather hits hard, the City of Vancouver's Department of Public Works prioritizes its response to provide the strongest level of support for our community's life-saving police, fire and medical public safety network. Our first priority are the critical arterials that connect police, fire and medical services, followed by remaining arterials, selected collectors, snow bus routes and key streets around schools and hills. Public Works Operations crews also work closely with Vancouver Fire and Vancouver Police to clear the way when emergency access is needed. During major snow and ice storms, the task of keeping these high priority streets open is an arduous one that must be repeated many times. Due to these work demands, limited resources and the difficulties of driveways and parked cars, residential streets are not plowed or deiced.

Morning Star - Michael blog 2
Morning Star - Michael blog 2
Monday Nov 14
Friday Nov 11 at 1030 the race started. We woke up to 45 degree temp and blowing about 20-25 kts. We reefed the main before the start and let most of the boats start ahead of us to play it safe. We crossed the line at about 1040.
Unfortunately the wind was directly behind us which made the boat rock and roll a lot. To avoid the rollin we gybed back and forth out of the bay crossing over 2 tunnels (there are no bridges crossing the Chesapeake entrance so they could not be bombed and lock the Atlantic fleet in). To add to the confusion there were at least 10 ships from commercial, to military, to coast guard coming in and out through these narrow openings on the causeway. We listened to the ship Cptns calling various vessels to figure out how to get by them without running them down. These ships are hundreds of feet long and need miles to stop or turn.
We sailed downwind through the day bundled up in sweaters and coats, on a course that would get us to the edge of the Gulf Stream. At this point the Gulf Stream curves around Hattaras and flows Northeast at about 1.5 to 2 kts. The water temp before we reached the Gulf \stream was 49 degrees and by the time we got through it, we were up to 70. We want to get through it, at the shortest distance so it does not push us too far off course. It took us about 10 hours and fortunately was not very rough. We were able to sail through i,t but by the time we got out the other side the wind started to die down.
We start the engine twice a day to charge the batteries, and one time the alarm sounded suggesting overheating. We turned it off, checked everything out and found nothing wrong. Started her back up and she has been running fine ever since. Hmmm.
Since crossing the stream we have done a mixture of sailing and motoring but for the last 36 hours we have only motored. Very light winds and a current of about 1-1.5 knots against us. There have been boats around us in sight or just over the horizon (shown by our radar) the entire time. The water temp has since climbed to 79 degrees and we are now back to shorts and T shirts.
Every day John K has put out his fishing line hoping we catch us some fresh dinner but the only thing we have had is sautéed Sargasso. Instead we have been eating homemade Lasagna from Karen (Carl's partner), homemade soup by Karen (2), (John K's partner) and instant mashed potatoes from John L, which were amazingly good. And yes my partner is also Karen (3) so there has been many a mix up.
It is now 0935 and I just finished my shift from 0600 to 0900. The sun as it comes up over the horizon on the ocean is very breathtaking and I don't get tired of seeing it every morning. Sunsets have also been amazing. Where is that green flash?

Openet, the provider of Subscriber Optimization Software (SOS) to tier-one communications and media service providers, is teaming with IBM to promote telecom and media service provider solutions. This multi-faceted partnership includes an array of initiatives, the first of which is IBM's service provider cloud solution initiative. Openet is a key partner to IBM in this project, providing software components that enable service providers to monetize and report against the delivery of cloud services to their customers as part of the IBM cloud services solution architecture.
Along with IBM's cloud initiative, the collaboration includes Openet's utilization of IBM software and hardware capabilities to deploy solutions directly to service providers, and a variety of joint marketing activities. Openet has also been certified as a vendor within IBM's Service Provider Delivery Environment (SPDE). This certification validates that Openet interoperates with key elements of the IBM telecom software solution stack. SPDE enables operators to bring new revenue-generating multimedia, data and content services to market faster, easier.
"Openet's partnership with IBM is one of several important pillars for us as we drive towards leading the Subscriber Optimization Software category now and in the future," said Niall Norton, chief executive officer of Openet, in a statement. "This partnership provides the vital platforms and technology required to deliver SOS-based solutions, as well as the means to increase our global sales and marketing reach. Similarly, this partnership is also vital to IBM in a number of initiatives to increase market share within the communications and media service provider markets."
Openet and IBM have been working together for more than a year, completing technology integration and certifications, and creating joint marketing programs. Last week's announcement by IBM of its cloud services solution architecture illustrates the scope and importance of the alliance to the market.
"Communications Services Providers are looking for new ways to deliver differentiated services to their customers," said Rick Qualman, vice president of strategy and business development for IBM Telecommunications Industry. "The combination of Openet and IBM technologies can accelerate time to market and monetization of these services for our joint clients."
In related news, Openet launched its Executive Technology Layer with the appointment of four vice presidents of technology after forming the Openet Technology Division in a bid to take a more unified approach to product creation and quality. The dual move is expected to allow its engineering practice to enable Openet drive efficiency and innovation, while growing a global presence and reputation for putting out products and solutions ahead of the market curve, according to Joe Hogan, founder and CTO of Openet.

Great stay at this apartment for 3 nights. Warda, the owner, is a lovely lady who warmly welcomed us to this roomy and bright apartment. Although it is on the groung floor, the apartment is very quiet and we were not disturbed throughout our stay as it is about 20 minutes away from the city centre. Shops are nearby though. The king size bed and the bunk beds were really comfy and warm. Well equiped kitchen with all necessary electrical appliances and food for breakfast. Advise: you cannot leave the house without trying the amazing ginger bread kindly left by Warda!!! There is also a little terrace to hang up the clothes and to use as a smoking area. The only drawback is the toilet that does not have a washsink within it therefore you need to use the kitchen sink that can sometimes be a bit of an issue when you want to leave the dishes for later... Another drawback is the windows to the street that cannot be opened and they get steamed so humidity in the house is high so bear it in mind when you cook and first thing in the morning and open de terrace door and window to ventilate.
Overall, we had an amazing time in the house and in Utrecht so thank you very much Warda!!
Clean, well-furnished apartment with a well-stocked fridge.
It was a shame that the guests are not in control of their own heating. We were left cold and without heating on Christmas Eve when the host, who lives upstairs was away for the night.
Wonderful accommodation - very spacious and very well equipped. The location is good and it is only a short walk to the very centre of town. We were welcomed by the charming Warda who lives in the apartment above.
Very comfortable stay in a great location with a generous and welcoming host. Definitely recommend.
A very nice appartment in a very nice area of the city.
The apartment is clean, spacious, cosy and well organized. With the internet and a TV. The kitchen is well equipped.
Near the entrance of the city center, this appartment is ideal to stay in Utrecht.
You will be greeted by Warda, a very nice host.
We are very satisfied with the flat. It is very nice and in a central location. The flat is good equipped and clean. The hosts are very kind and cooperativ. We are still there until 27th July and we will hopefully enjoy our stay furthermore.
Just perfect ! Très très bien ! Je vous le conseille. Warda est très accueillante et nous étions parfaitement installés avec notre bébé.
Die Wohnung liegt fußläufig zur Utrechter Altstadt in einem ruhigen Wohnviertel. Die Ausstattung ist zweckmäßig. Für das Frühstück ist alles da. Behindertengerecht ist die Wohnung allerdings nicht. Sie liegt zwar im Erdgeschoss, aber es gibt im winzigen Bad keine Dusche, sondern nur eine Badewanne. Wir haben die Tage genossen.
Volle Punktzahl für Warda und Henk in Utrecht.
Flexible Zeiten zum Einchecken, Verpflegung, ein aufgeräumtes und sauberes Zimmer, eine Raucherecke und ein freundlicher Empfang machten unseren Aufenthalt aus. Sehr zu empfehlen!
Prettige en ruime B&B dichtbij het centrum van Utrecht. Een aardige host die je vriendelijk ontvangt en waar vooraf ook la goed contact mee was. Zo had ze, op ons verzoek, een dvd speler geregeld!
Het centrum is goed aan te lopen en de buurt waar je verblijft is rustig.
Minpuntje is het ontbijt wat een dag van tevoren al klaar staat (geen vers croissantje, dus) en het ontbreken van een badkamer. Er is wel een bad maar dat is niet te gebruiken.

Top 4 Physician Assistant Job Interview MistakesFebruary 20, 2013
By Health eCareers
Exiting school and applying for your first job as a physician assistant can be both exciting and scary. The interviewing process is what stands between you and the position you've been working hard to achieve for many years. The last thing you want to do is blow the interview. However, many physician assistants do, and they don't understand how it happened. So what exactly do physician assistants do wrong in a job interview?
1. Lacking Preparation
One of the top reasons for a failed interview is a lack of preparation. As a physician assistant, human resource managers expect you to show initiative and the utmost preparation. Even if you are not asked to, take the initiative to bring all documentation related to the position you're applying for. This includes resumes, licenses, degrees and other any relevant certifications. Not bringing these documents to your first interview may not cost you the job, but it definitely counts against you during the interview.
2. Not Answering Performance Based Questions Properly
Although many physician assistants feel their skills and education speaks for itself, human resource managers are looking more towards information that isn't on the resume. The United States Department of Veteran Affairs states that performance based interviewing questions help an employer predict a candidate's future behavior. Performance based interview questions specifically point to past situations and how you've overcome them.
Here are few performance based interview questions that you may be asked during an interview:
It is important to go over these questions at home before attending the interview. Watching a mock interview such as the one presented by Michigan Civil Service Commission may help. Behavioral assessment questions are especially important to the position you'll be working in. Since you'll be the front line for patients, the employer will want to see that you display the proper compassion and quick thinking skills necessary to fulfill their requirements.
3. Not Dressing Appropriately
Work Smart lists the first reason for not getting hired as untidy personal appearance. Since a physician assistant will often see patients before a physician does, a tidy and professional appearance is a must. Coming to the interview dressed up inappropriately may indeed cost you the position. Hide visible facial piercings and tattoos and avoid wearing harsh makeup. A business suit is still the standard when it comes to dressing for the job interview.
4. Having No Previous Knowledge of the Facility
Before applying for a job as a physician assistant, research the facility you're applying to. It isn't uncommon for some employers to ask you what you like about the facility or what made you apply there in particular. Not doing your homework could leave you speechless in the interview--which is a HUGE disadvantage. Save yourself the embarrassment and read about the company before going to your interviewer.
