Recovering From Mildew, Mold and Fungi
Following a flood, many questions arise from residents. Personal health and safety is a priority for everyone. The following information is aimed at preventing both disease and injury by answering many common concerns and providing valuable preventive health tips.
What are molds?
Molds are simple, microscopic organisms that are present virtually everywhere, indoors and outdoors. Molds, along with mildew, mushrooms and yeasts, are fungi. There are more than 100,000 species of mold that produce tiny, lightweight spores that drift through the indoor and outdoor air. Live spores act like seeds, forming new mold growths (colonies) when they find the right conditions.
How does mold grow?
Mold can grow almost anywhere there is water, high humidity or dampness. When mold spores land on a damp spot they begin growing and digesting whatever they are growing on in order to survive. This digestion process, if unchecked, will eventually damage and then destroy the organic material the mold is feeding on. The way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture. Removing the source of moisture — through repairs or dehumidification — is critical to preventing mold growth.
How am I exposed to indoor molds?
Exposure to mold occurs primarily from inhaling mold spores when there is active mold growth where people live or work — within the home, office or school. Everyone is exposed to some mold on a daily basis without evident harm. It is common to find mold spores in the air inside homes, and most of the airborne spores found indoors come from outdoor sources. When moldy material becomes damaged or disturbed, spores can be released into the air. People also can be exposed to mold by touching contaminated materials and by eating contaminated foods.
How can mold affect your health?
Most types of mold that are routinely encountered are not hazardous to healthy individuals. Mold spores primarily cause health problems when people inhale large quantities of spores.
Reactions are dependent on a person's individual susceptibility. People living or working in buildings with wet carpet, walls, mattresses and/or furniture can have health problems such as allergies, asthma and sneezing. The most common health problems caused by indoor mold are allergy symptoms. However, the long-term presence of indoor mold growth may eventually become unhealthy for anyone.
Depending on the amount of exposure and a person's individual vulnerability, more serious health effects — such as fevers and breathing problems — can occur but are unusual. People at highest risk are asthmatics, people with allergies, infants and children, elderly, pregnant women, people with existing respiratory diseases and people with compromised immune systems. Those with special health concerns should consult a medical professional if they feel their health is affected by indoor mold.
What should I do if I suspect my health or my child's health is
If you believe that you or your child has symptoms that you suspect are caused by exposure to mold, you should see a physician. Keep in mind that many symptoms associated with mold exposure also may be caused by many other illnesses. You should tell your physician about your symptoms and when, how and for how long you think you or your children were exposed to mold.
How can I tell if I have mold in my house?
The most practical way to find a mold problem is by using your eyes to look for mold growth and by using your nose to locate the source of a suspicious odor. If you see mold or if there is an earthy or musty smell, you should assume a mold problem exists. Other clues are signs of excess moisture or the worsening of allergy-like symptoms. Evidence of past or ongoing water damage also should trigger more thorough inspection. You may find mold growth underneath water-damaged surfaces or behind walls, floors or ceilings.
- Look for visible mold growth (may appear cottony, velvety, granular or leathery and have varied colors of white, gray, brown, black, yellow or green). Mold often appears as discoloration, staining or fuzzy growth on the surface of building materials or furnishings. When mold is visible, testing is not recommended.
- Search areas with noticeable mold odors.
- Look for signs of excess moisture or water damage. Look for water leaks, standing water, water stains and condensation problems. For example, do you see any watermarks or discoloration on walls, ceilings, carpet, woodwork or other building materials?
- Search behind and underneath materials (carpet and pad, wallpaper, vinyl flooring, sink cabinets), furniture or stored items (especially things placed near outside walls or on cold floors). Sometimes destructive techniques may be needed to inspect and clean enclosed spaces where mold and moisture are hidden; for example, opening up a wall cavity.
Should I be concerned about mold in my home?
Yes. If indoor mold contamination is extensive, it can cause very high and persistent airborne spore exposure. People exposed to high spore levels can become sensitized and develop allergies to the mold or other health problems. Mold growth can damage your furnishings, such as carpets, sofas and cabinets. Clothes and shoes in damp closets can become soiled. In time, unchecked mold growth can cause serious damage to the structural elements in your home. If you can see or smell mold inside your home, take steps to identify and eliminate the excess moisture and to cleanup and remove the mold.
How can I prevent indoor mold problems in my home?
Inspect your home regularly for the indications and sources of indoor moisture and mold. Take steps to eliminate sources of water as quickly as possible.
- Stop the source of leak or flooding.
- Remove excess water with mops or wet vacuum.
- Whenever possible, move wet items to a dry and well-ventilated area or outside to expedite drying. Move rugs and pull up areas of wet carpet as soon as possible.
- Open closet and cabinet doors and move furniture away from walls to increase circulation.
- Run portable fans to increase air circulation.
- Run dehumidifiers and air conditioners to lower humidity.
- Do NOT use the home's central blower if flooding has occurred in it or in any of the ducts.
- Do NOT turn up the heat or use heaters in confined areas, as higher temperatures increase the rate of mold growth.
- If water has soaked inside the walls, it may be necessary to open wall cavities, remove baseboards, and/or pry open wall paneling.
- Spraying with a household disinfectant on fungi and mold will not remove the organisms and can exacerbate breathing problems.
- Keep indoor surfaces as dry as possible. Try to maintain the home's relative humidity between 20-40 percent in the winter and less than 60 percent the rest of the year.
- Provide adequate ventilation, air circulation near cold surfaces, dehumidification or other methods to minimize the production of moisture in the home and control high humidity that frequently causes mold growth in our cold climate.
Should I test for mold?
You probably do not need to test for mold. Mold testing can be expensive and time consuming, and it usually requires special equipment and trained technicians to obtain reliable results. But most importantly, you probably will not get the results from your mold test for a couple of weeks, during which time the mold problems could become significantly worse.
If I decide to test, what should happen?
If you have your home tested, a trained technician with special equipment will take an outdoor air sample at the same time as an indoor sample. This will allow the technician to determine whether the number of spores inside your home is significantly higher than the number outside your home. A higher indoor level could mean that mold is growing indoors. Once you determine the level of mold in a home, there are no standards for judging if the level could cause problems for the occupants or when a house is clean.
However, sometimes mold growth is hidden and difficult to locate. In such cases, a combination of air (outdoor and indoor air samples) and bulk (material) samples may help determine the extent of contamination and where cleaning is needed. However, mold testing is rarely useful for trying to answer questions about health concerns.
How should mold be cleaned?
The most effective way to treat mold is to correct underlying water damage and clean the affected area. Mold should be cleaned as soon as it appears. Persons cleaning mold should be free of symptoms and allergies and should wear gloves during the cleaning process. Small areas of mold should be cleaned using a detergent/soapy solution or an appropriate household cleaner. The cleaned area should then be thoroughly dried. Dispose of any sponges or rags used to clean mold.
If the mold returns quickly or spreads, it may indicate an underlying problem such as a leak which must be fixed to successfully eliminate mold problems. If mold contamination is extensive, a professional abatement company may need to be consulted.
Follow these steps to clean mold:
Begin drying all wet materials. As soon as possible, begin drying any materials that are wet. For severe moisture problems, use fans and dehumidifiers and move wet items away from walls and off of floors. Check with equipment rental companies or restoration firms to rent fans and dehumidifiers.
Remove and dispose of mold-contaminated materials. Items that have absorbed moisture (porous materials) and that have mold growing on them need to be removed, bagged and thrown out. Such materials may include sheet rock, insulation, plaster, carpet, carpet pad, ceiling tiles, wood products (other than solid wood) and paper products. If there was flooding, sheetrock should be removed to a level above the high-water mark. Visually inspect the wall interior and remove any mold-contaminated materials. Likewise, any such porous materials that have contacted sewage should also be bagged and thrown away. Non-porous materials with surface mold growth may be saved if they are cleaned well and kept dry.
Remove moldy items as soon as possible. Spores are more easily released when moldy materials dry out.
Clean surfaces. Surface mold growing on non-porous materials such as hard plastic, concrete, glass, metal and solid wood can usually be cleaned.
Thoroughly scrub all contaminated surfaces using a stiff brush, hot water and a non-ammonia soap/detergent or commercial cleaner.
Use a stiff brush or cleaning pad on cement-block walls or other uneven surfaces.
Collect excess cleaning liquid with a wet/dry vacuum, mop or sponge.
Rinse area with clean water and collect excess rinse water.
Wash all clothing items in hot soapy water.
Dry all cleaned items thoroughly or mold will return.
Solid materials — glass, plastic, and metal — can generally be kept after they are thoroughly cleaned.
- Disinfect surfaces (if desired). After cleaning has removed all visible mold and other soiling from contaminated surfaces, a disinfectant may be used to kill mold that may have been missed by the cleaning. In the case of sewage contamination, disinfection must be performed.
- Mix 1/4 cup bleach per gallon of water and apply to surfaces where mold growth was visible before cleaning. The solution can be applied with a spray bottle or garden sprayer, be sponged on or applied by other methods. Using bleach straight from the bottle is actually LESS effective than diluted bleach.
- Allow the bleach solution to dry on the surface, typically 10 minutes is recommended for a bleach solution.
- If you use another commercially available disinfectant follow the label instructions. Keep the disinfectant on the treated material for the prescribed time before rinsing or drying.
- Collect any runoff of bleach solution with a wet/dry vacuum, sponge or mop.
- Disinfectants are intended to be applied to thoroughly cleaned materials and are used to ensure that most microorganisms have been killed. Therefore, do not use disinfectants instead of, or before, cleaning materials with soap or detergent.
- Allow all disinfected items to dry thoroughly or mold will return.
Always handle bleach with caution. Never mix bleach with ammonia — toxic chlorine gas may result. Bleach can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and skin. Provide fresh air (for example, open a window or door). Protect skin and eyes from contact with bleach. Test solution on a small area before treatment, since bleach is very corrosive and may damage some materials.
Remain on MOLD ALERT.Continue looking for signs of moisture problems or return of mold growth. Be particularly alert to moisture in areas of past growth. If mold returns, repeat cleaning steps and consider using a stronger solution to disinfect the area again. Re-growth may signal that the material should be removed or that moisture is not yet controlled.
Can air ducts become contaminated with mold?
Air duct systems can become contaminated with mold. Duct systems may be constructed of bare sheet metal, sheet metal with fibrous glass insulation on the exterior, or sheet metal with an internal fibrous glass liner, or they may be made entirely of fibrous glass. Bare sheet metal systems and sheet metal with exterior fibrous glass insulation can be cleaned and disinfected. Ductwork made of sheet metal with an internal fibrous glass liner or made entirely of fibrous glass if water damaged, will often need to be removed and discarded. Ductwork in difficult-to-reach locations may have to be abandoned. If you have other questions, contact an air duct cleaning professional or licensed contractor.
How do you know when you have finished remediation/cleanup?
You must have completely fixed the water or moisture problem.
Mold should be completely removed. Visible mold, mold-damaged materials, and moldy odors should not be present.
If you have sampled for mold, the kinds and concentrations of mold and mold spores in the building should be similar to those found outside, once cleanup activities have been completed.
You should re-inspect the site shortly after remediation, and it should show no new signs of water damage or mold growth.
You should be able to continue to occupy the space without experiencing health complaints or physical symptoms.

Checking in at 11:21 p.m. Sunday night, I see that "Rocky Ford" cantaloupes are getting a fair amount of attention tonight. Here is a sampling...
For what its worth, Bill Marler writes this in a Sunday evening email about the outbreak:
As of last week the CDC listed a total of 22 persons infected with the outbreak-associated strains of Listeria monocytogenes have been reported from 7 states. The number of infected persons identified in each state is as follows: Colorado (12), Indiana (1), Nebraska (1), New Mexico (4), Oklahoma(1), Texas (2), and West Virginia (1). Two deaths have been reported, one in Colorado and one in New Mexico. In reviewing State Health Department websites and media this weekend, I have come up with the following number is sick or dead likely related to Jensen and Frontera Listeria-tainted cantaloupes. The states below were noted by the FDA as receiving cantaloupes unless noted.
Arizona – No reported illnesses.
Colorado (12 sick with 1 death) - A total of 12 cases in Colorado are linked to the outbreak, including one death.
Indiana (1 sick) – One ill according to the CDC. State not listed as receiving Jensen Cantaloupes.
Illinois (1 sick) – Listeriosis illnesses in several other states –including Cook County in Illinois—are currently being investigated by state and local health departments to determine if these illnesses are part of this outbreak.
Kansas (6 possibly sick) - Kansas has had six cases of listeriosis reported since August 26. None of these cases has been definitively linked to the multistate outbreak, but investigations are underway and additional laboratory testing is pending.
Missouri (2 sick with 1 death) – According to press reports, The Springfield-Greene County Health Department continues to reach out for a possible connection to contaminated cantaloupes in Colorado. One of the listeria cases in Springfield was fatal. The other person was still in the hospital this weekend.
Montana (2 sick) - Department of the Public Health and Human Services officials have identified two cases of listeriosis in Montana residents who reside in two different Montana counties, Gallatin and Yellowstone.
Nebraska (3 sick) - In the past two weeks, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services Office of Epidemiology has received three reports of listeriosis (two in Douglas County and one in Custer County). Of the two with known hospitalization history, both were hospitalized. PFGE (DNA fingerprinting) has completed on one isolate. It matches isolates from two other states. The investigation in this cluster so far is finding a strong association with cantaloupe.
New Mexico (10 sick with 4 deaths) - To date, the New Mexico Department of Health (DOH) has identified ten patients hospitalized with Listeria infection in the last 3 weeks, including 4 fatalities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed by DNA fingerprinting tests that the first five New Mexico cases are part of the multi-state Listeriosis outbreak linked to cantaloupes from the Rocky Ford region of Colorado. Test results on the other cases are pending.
Oklahoma (10 sick with 1 death) - One case has been identified as associated with this outbreak. Six other recently reported cases of listeriosis among Oklahomans are under investigation to determine if they are related to the outbreak. Per news reports - The Oklahoma Department of Health confirms the death of one person from an outbreak of Listeria traced to cantaloupe. The Health Department says there have been six cases in the state related to cantaloupe shipped by Jensen Farms. All six people were hospitalized and one person died. An additional four cases are being investigated.
Texas (2 sick) - Two people from Texas have become ill after consuming Rocky Ford cantaloupe.
West Virginia (1 sick) – One ill. State not listed as receiving Jensen Cantaloupes
Wyoming (1 sick) – According to press reports, Wyoming state health officials say a Laramie County man has fallen ill with a case of listeriosis believed to be related to contaminated cantaloupes from Colorado.
TK:More headlines on the outbreak...
The Packer: Jensen Farms, Frontera cooperate in cantaloupe recall
CDC page: Multistate Outbreak of Listeriosis Linked to Rocky Ford Cantaloupes from Jensen Farms
From Medical Daily: Listeria Outbreak in Cantaloupes is Extraordinary: Experts Jim Gorny quoted in this piece about the unusual appearance of listeria on cantaloupe
From Washington Post: Colorado farmers worry that Listeria outbreak has ruined prime selling season As usual, innocent farmers get caught in crossfire.. From the story:
Bartolo said the "Rocky Ford cantaloupes" name has no legal protection, such as the strict legal definition of a Vidalia onion, to prevent farmers outside the region from using the name. In fact, he said, Rocky Ford was a major melon-seed producer from the 1900s to 1940s, selling melon seeds nationwide under the name "Rocky Ford" or "Rocky Sweets," so there may be cantaloupes from far away sold under the name.
Colorado Chief Medical Officer Chris Urbina said he understands the anger of other farmers who feel tarnished by the outbreak. However, health officials had to act on what they knew at the time — and the victims had reported eating cantaloupe from Rocky Ford, he said.
From the Colorado Springs Gazette: Rocky Ford takes brunt of listeria scare: 'It wasn't our product' From the story:
In most years, consumers swoon over the super-sweet Rocky Ford melons, snapping them up at farmers markets, roadside stands and grocery stores. But this year, a listeria outbreak has put a chill on the hot commodity, and even though the source of contamination was traced to cantaloupes grown on a farm near the Colorado-Kansas border two counties away, farmers in and around the town of Rocky Ford say they've been hurt by reports that "their" cantaloupes are the culprit.
TK: Federal authorities need to have answers as to how this happened. Failure in that mission does no good for establishing preventive controls or restoring public confidence in FDA's food safety oversight.

Usain Bolt
Usain Bolt, aka Lightning Bolt, can't be stopped. With several world records, six Olympic gold medals (the most ever awarded to a sprinter), and five world championships under his belt, Usain reigns supreme in the world of short-distance running. His showings at the London Olympics just served to solidify his position as the fastest man ever.
AppealUsain Bolt has a lean, cut body and several large gold medallions. Would it be hard for this Olympian to find a running partner? We don't think so.
SuccessUsain Bolt is regarded by many as the fastest man in the world. He broke three world records at the Beijing Games in 2008 and is the first man to win six Olympic gold medals in sprinting. He was the youngest gold medalist at the World Junior Championships (in 2002) and the first man to hold world records for both the 100 and 200m.
Usain Bolt BiographyUsain Bolt was born on August 21, 1986, in Trelawny, Jamaica. He had one sister. Growing up, he did well in school and played sports like cricket (he was an incredibly fast cricket bowler). He went on to attend William Knibb Memorial High School, where he continued playing cricket until his coach recommended that he try his athletic abilities out on track and field events given his impressive speed. In 2001, at his first running championship, Usain Bolt won the silver medal in the 200m.
Usain Bolt went on to compete in his first national event, The CARIFTA Games, and in the 400m he achieved a personal best time, taking home second place in that event as well as the 200m. However, at the IAAF World Youth Championships in Hungary that year, he didn't even make the finals in the 200m (yet he still managed to achieve another personal best time).
In 2002, Usain Bolt won both the 200m and 400m events in the CARIFTA Games, as well as his high school championships and the Central American and Caribbean Junior Championships.
usain bolt at world junior championshipsAt the 2002 World Junior Championships in Kingston, Jamaica, the 15-year-old Usain Bolt won the 200m in a new personal best, becoming the youngest world junior champion ever. And, as a part of the Jamaican sprint relay team, the runner won two more silvers. As a result, he earned a sponsorship from Puma.
The records and wins didn't stop in 2003, a year in which some of his more notable feats included a gold-winning championship record in the 200m at the World Youth Championships, a record time that equaled Roy Martin's world junior record at the Pan-American Junior Championships, as well as records in the 200m and 400m events at his final high school championships. Unfortunately, he was forced to withdraw from the Senior World Championships because of a case of conjunctivitis.
usain bolt at the 2004 summer olympicsIn 2004, Usain Bolt turned professional and started training with a new coach. He competed first in the CARIFTA Games, breaking the 200m record, and then at the 2004 Summer Games in Athens. However, a leg injury prevented him from participating in the Olympics. Upon his return home, Usain Bolt found himself surrounded by offers from several American universities for track scholarships, but he decided to stay in his home country to attend the University of Technology, Jamaica.
Despite a hopeful college career, a new trainer and Usain Bolt's 200m season-best at London's Crystal Palace that July, he suffered an injury at the 2005 World Championships. He quickly bounced back, though, earning a top-five ranking that year as well as throughout 2006.
usain bolt breaks 100m and 200m recordsAfter winning silver at the World Championships in Osaka in '07, he began to focus on his 100m, establishing a new world record on May 31, 2008, at the Reebok Grand Prix. He then went on to break the national record in the 200m in Athens.
usain bolt in the 2008 olympic gamesUsain Bolt went into the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing as the favorite, and for good reason. He wowed 90,000 spectators when he broke the 100m record, easily winning the gold with plenty of time to wave his arms and pound his chest in victory. Then Usain Bolt won another gold medal in the 200m event, beating Michael Johnson's previous record and sweeping the 100m and 200m races, something that hadn't been accomplished since Carl Lewis. He was also the third leg in the 4x100m relay, handing off to Asafa Powell, who finished the race off in first for a gold victory.
Usain Bolt found himself being scrutinized for being a poor sportsman as he celebrated his gold medals without first shaking hands with his fellow competitors. International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge accused him of lacking respect for other athletes. To that, Usain Bolt said, "I won't change that. And I don't see any problem with it, because people enjoy watching me. I'll stay the way I am. That's my personality."
The following year at the 2009 World Championships, Usain Bolt lowered his own 100m and 200m world records even further to 9.58 s and 19.19 s respectively. This made him the first man to hold both the 100 and 200 m world and Olympic titles at the same time.
His 2009 record breaking margin over 100 m is the highest since the start of digital time measurements. Sportspro has rated Usain Bolt as the 4th most marketable athlete in the world, he was selected as the IAAF Male Athlete of the year and won a Special Olympic Award for his performances.
usain bolt in the 2012 olympic gamesBefore the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Usain Bolt was eliminated at the 2011 World Championships in South Korea last August following a false start disqualification in the 100 meter race. He also experienced back-to-back losses at the Jamaican trials, coming in second to his protege and training partner Johan Blake in both 100 meter and 200 meter.
However, at the Olympics, he won the 100 meter gold medal with a record time of 9.63 seconds. And in no time, Bolt became the first man in history to defend both his 100 meter and 200 meter Olympic sprint titles, as he followed up his record setting 100-meter gold with another record setting gold for the 200 meter. Yohan Blake again placed second.
One thing about Usain Bolt, however, is that he's certainly not modest. When asked about his greatness as a sprinter following his victory, Bolt placed himself in the category of Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali, in their respective sports.
On the last day of the 2012 Olympics, Bolt ran alongside Nesta Carter, Michael Frater and Yohan Blake in Jamaica's gold medal-winning 4x100 meter relay team. With a running time of 36.84 seconds, they broke Jamaica's previous world record of 37.04 from 2011. He celebrated by doing the "Mobot" in tribute to Mo Farah.

Hot and humid was the order of the day for the second round of the '08 ALMS race season. Coming off a 1-2 class showing at Sebring, Corvette Racing returned to Florida expecting to once again dominate its only class rival, the overmatched Bell Motorsports Aston DBR9. The headline item for the team this weekend was its first-ever use of cellulosic E85 ethanol, one of the currently popular "alternative" fuels.
The weekend was a short one for the ALMS contingent, as it shared the dais with the newly consolidated IndyCar Series. While it was good to see the premier open-wheel sanctioning bodies in the U.S. finally bury the hatchet and get back to racing, the newly amalgamated series suffered several schedule casualties as a result. Previously, the ALMS conducted several events in concert with either the IndyCar Series or its former rival, CART. The changes necessitated by combining these two series have kept IMSA, the sanctioning body for ALMS, working tirelessly to keep its schedule intact to the degree possible. Still, some events-such as the Houston race-had to be cancelled, vexing city officials and race fans alike.
For the ALMS cars, the event began with a one-hour session Friday morning, followed by a two-hour practice/qualifying session that afternoon. Corvette Racing's Olivier Beretta grabbed the class pole position in the No. 4 C6.R, just edging out No. 3-car teammate Jan Magnussen. The 1-hour 55-minute race was scheduled for the next day, to be preceded by an early-morning 20-minute warm-up. The tight schedule left little time for the teams to prepare their entries prior to the start, perhaps not surprising, given the abbreviated nature of the race itself.
Race day was characteristically sweltering, with the weather report calling for rain toward the end of the session. The race got off to an inauspicious start when a GT2 Aston lost its gearbox, necessitating a yellow flag. Soon after, the Champion Racing Audi R10s of the LMP1 class resumed their heated duel with the Penske Porsche LMP2 prototype Spyders. The Audis sprinted off to an early lead and had plenty of power to keep the Porsches behind them. However, the tight, 1.8-mile St. Pete street circuit, with its lack of run-off and unforgiving concrete walls, is capable of dealing out severe punishment to anyone who strays from the prescribed line. The resultant shunts precipitated several lengthy, full-course cautions, giving the lithe Spyders a shot at the lead.
Toward the end of the race, Penske driver Romain Dumas was able to gain first position and build a little room between himself and the lead R10. But when a full-course caution bunched up the field just before the finish, Audi pilot Lucas Luhr was able to out-drag Dumas into Turn 1 and regain the top spot. Luhr's R10 swept to the finish ahead of the Porsche by a margin of only 0.8 second. The Corvettes ran a very steady and uneventful pace, with the No. 4 car of Beretta and Oliver Gavin holding on to its lead over the No. 3 car of Magnussen and Johnny O'Connell. The lone GT1 Aston managed to hang with the group until a late-race accident with a GT2 Dodge Viper ended its day (see photo).
Although it had been thought that the switch to E85 would reduce the cars' operating efficiency, the C6.Rs seemed to run well on the new fuel and were able to follow their normal race plan. More importantly, the Corvettes' strong performance allowed team engineers to download more valuable data in preparation for what promises to be another epic battle at Le Mans.
Team Profile: Mike Henney
Mike Henney (right) is a GM engineer who collaborates with Pratt & Miller personnel as part of the Corvette Racing team. One of Henney's duties is to monitor tire pressure while the C6.Rs are pounding around the race track. A telemetry system onboard the cars lets him make real-time assessments of how the tires are performing throughout the course of the race. Measurements are taken by an extremely light tire-pressure monitor mounted on the inside of the wheel and powered by a coin-sized battery.
During the race, Henney constantly scans the data on his computer screen for any unexpected deviation in pressure. These may be caused by a number of factors. When a caution period occurs, the pace is slowed significantly, allowing the tires to cool and lowering their pressure. There may also be fluctuations in pressure due to deflation, which often occurs after an on-track crash leaves debris on the race course. Spotting these problems early on is critical so that the car can pit for repairs, if necessary.
The information Henney observes is constantly conveyed to the P&M engineers in charge of chassis setup. They make all the decisions regarding suspension configurations and tire pressure in an effort to keep the C6.Rs circulating at the quickest possible pace. If the engineers decide to make a change to the cars' cold tire-pressure settings, that information is relayed to the two team members per car charged with prepping the tires for the next pit stop.

The Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (BPS) is continuing its Comprehensive Plan workshops in March for the community to provide feedback on the Working Draft Part 1. The City's Comprehensive Plan is being updated with a focus on equity to help manage expected population and employment growth. It will also coordinate major public investments in parks, roads, housing, sewers, business districts and more over the next 20 years in Portland.
BPS staff and more than 160 community members have developed the Working Draft Part 1 and is requesting community feedback. The draft plan and information about the three remaining March workshops, being held on March 5, 9 and 14, is available at this web page on the BPS website.
The new Comprehensive Plan will set guidelines for community involvement and influence the direction of private development and public facilities — all to ensure that Portland is a more prosperous, healthy, educated, equitable and resilient city. While the Portland Plan set goals and policies for economic development, housing, education, transportation and watershed health, the new Comprehensive Plan will help implement them through more specific city policies to help in making better on-the-ground decisions in the City's neighborhoods.
The Disability Arts and Culture Project (DACP ) is conducting a CRAFTERNOON workshop on Saturday, March 9, from 3:30 to 5:30 pm where participants can make jewelry or bring their own project to work on. The community art/craft afternoon will be led by Sarah Doherty, DACP development director (and glitter enthusiast) with a workshop on making paper beads and other jewelry out of paper and cloth. The workshop will be at SCRAP Education Annex, Standard Dairy Building Suite J, 2808 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
Although DACP gladly accepts donations to cover costs, there is no charge for the workshop. All participants will receive an electronic image of the piece(s) they create, and the jewelry and artwork will be donated to DACP for fundraising. More information is available at this link on the DACP website. Space is limited, so email email@example.com or call 503-238-0723 by Friday, March 8.
The Brain Injury Alliance of Oregon has scheduled Gary Busey to provide the keynote address at the Friday, March 8, dinner for the Pacific Northwest Brain Injury Conference 2013. The conference is scheduled to run March 7 through 9 at the Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel. Its theme is "Living with Brain Injury: Focusing on the Future."

The Hearing Loss Association of Portland reports that the Portland area offers a wide range of captioned movie options that are listed on the Captionfish website. The captioning options include special captioning glasses at many Regal theaters, open captioned films at a small number of Regal theaters, and in-seat captioning devices for many films at Cinemark (Century) theaters.
The group recommends that since listings change weekly, people go online to Captionfish to see current offerings. They also advise that when visiting a theater that shows captioned films, to ask for a direct phone number to use in the future and for confirming which films are captioned and their showtimes. Calling a published phone will usually not provide the captioning information.
The Portland Planning and Sustainability Commission is having a hearing on proposed zoning code amendments for new apartments and parking on March 12, starting at 12:30 pm. The hearing will be in Room 2500A of the 1900 Building, 1900 SW Fourth Avenue. An increase in the last year for the development of new multi-dwelling buildings that do not include off-street parking has prompted the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability to complete a series of studies related to this concern and a proposed a set of zoning code amendments.

About Southwestern
First-Annual CDSJ Day
Carley Arnold
The Coalition for Diversity & Social Justice is holding its first-ever "CDSJ Day" on Saturday, April 21st, from 12-4pm in the Bishops Lounge. The afternoon will include fun, interactive booths hosted by the 6 CDSJ organizations (and some surprise guest organizations!), a picnic lunch, and feature talented singers from SU. This is a completely free event open to the public, and all activities will be for all ages.
The Coalition for Diversity & Social Justice, or the CDSJ, is a student-run organization dedicated to diversity and empowering students on campus to have their voices and identities heard. It serves as an umbrella organization to 6 of SU's cultural/identity organizations: SU Allies, E.B.O.N.Y. (Encouraging Blacks and Others to Never Yield), Kappa Delta Chi (a Latina-founded service sorority), Latinos Unidos, Pan-Asian Association , and SU Native.
We focus on educating and encouraging the Southwestern campus to be actively involved with us, whether that means attending forums on current social justice events (like our most-recent Trayvon Martin Forum) or inviting them out to our organizations' many different events (like the annual MLK Dinner hosted by E.B.O.N.Y., the Lunar New Year Dinner hosted by P.A.A., the annual Powwow by SU Native, etc.). Our work intertwines with Southwestern University's Diversity Enrichment Committee and the Office of Diversity Education , as many of our goals and services are in line with one another.
The CDSJ is only two years old, but it has grown to represent over 200 members (students and alumni) between the 6 CDSJ organizations in just that short amount of time. Our intra-organizational goals are to promote communication and support between the CDSJ organizations. This means that each organization within CDSJ learns more about intersections between their organization's culture/identity and the other CDSJ organizations'…. it also makes for really successful events!
We constantly are looking for new ways to help others see intersections between themselves and our CDSJ groups and goals, and the upcoming first-annual CDSJ Day will be no exception! Come out Saturday, April 21st, from 12-4 for some guaranteed fun, interactive booths by each of the 6 CDSJ organizations, a CDSJ booth, and some awesome booths from a few [surprise] guest organizations! There will be a free picnic lunch at 3 just outside the Bishops Lounge, with student singers performing for everyone! We look forward to seeing you there!

Whose Cloud Music Service is the Best?
Sam Spade is the founding father of movie tough guys. The private eye, created by noir author Dashell Hammet and brought to flinty life by Humphrey Bogart, is an emblem of bedrock morals in a universe of sin and violence. Hard men, manipulative women, and skeptical law enforcement plague our hero as he pursues a rare statue. He gives and receives little sympathy. Bogey plays the role perfectly—you could bounce coins off his face and he wouldn't blink, yet he allows enough world-weary humanity to make the character more compelling. If it didn't hurt, Spade's choices would be meaningless.
Spade can throw and take a physical punch, but his real strength is an unyielding, uncompromising resistance to temptation that dooms him to a life of righteous choices and resultant loneliness. The takeaway: A good man in a bad world needs to be tough. Don't like it? Go blow. —Joe Pappalardo
Best line: "When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it!" — Spade to Joel Cairo (Peter Lorre)
Who needs a name when you've got a serape? While Italian director Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars popularized the spaghetti western here in the States and made Clint Eastwood an international star, it also relied heavily on Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo, a tale of a ronin who pits two rival gangs against one another, as its source material. But Leone's followup, For a Few Dollars More is cut from whole cloth and presents Eastwood's "Man with No Name" with a more-than-formidable foil in the character of rival bounty killer, Col. Douglas Mortimer, played by the brilliant and menacing Lee Van Cleef.
Although the two leads are presented as adversaries from the start, Leone bides his time before having these two cinematic titans meet. It's well worth the wait, as each man endlessly sizes up the other in a staredown, followed by the inevitable exchange of hot lead. As is wont to happen in these situations, upon realizing that each has met his match, the two decide to team up to pursue their quarry—Eastwood for money, Van Cleef for revenge! —Carl Davis
Best line: "Alive or dead, it's your choice." — "Man with No Name" to Red (Jose Marco)

Both forms of green tea were decaffeinated and provided about 450 mg of EGCG. After eight weeks, compared to placebo, both green tea groups had lower levels of an inflammatory protein, amyloid alpha, which is linked to heart disease.

Adenoid removal is surgery to take out the adenoid glands. The adenoid glands sit behind your nose above the roof of your mouth. Air passes over these glands when you take a breath.
The adenoids are often taken out at the same time as your tonsils. (See also: Tonsillectomy)
Adenoid removal is also called adenoidectomy. The procedure is most often done in children.
Adenoidectomy; Removal of adenoid glands
Your child will be given general anesthesia before surgery. This means they will be asleep and unable to feel pain.
Your child will stay in the recovery room after surgery until they are awake and can breathe easily, cough, and swallow. Most patients can go home a few hours after surgery.
A doctor may recommend this procedure if:
Adenoidectomy may also be recommended if your child has tonsillitis many times, or if it keeps coming back.
The adenoids normally shrink as children grow older. Adults rarely need to have them removed.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
Risks for any surgery are:
Your doctor or nurse will tell you how to prepare for this procedure.
A week before the surgery, do not give your child any medicine that thins the blood unless your doctor says so. Such medicines include aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin).
The day before the surgery, your child should have nothing to eat or drink after midnight. This includes water.
You will be told what medicines your child should take on the day of surgery. Give your child the medicine they are supposed to take with a sip of water.
Your child will go home on the same day as surgery. Complete recovery takes about 1 to 2 weeks.

After this procedure, most children:
Rarely, adenoid tissue may grow back. This does not usually cause problems.

DURHAM, N.C.—What we learned while watching No. 4 Duke run out to a huge lead, then hold off a spirited comeback by N.C. State en route to a 98-85 victory Thursday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium:
'Pack leader
It has become apparent that Richard Howell is State's most valuable player, even though he won't be the highest-drafted player on his team.
The 6-foot-8 senior narrowly missed his 14th double-double of the season (he finished with 23 points and nine rebounds) but he might have played his best game. Howell fueled State's second-half comeback effort, and not just with his rebounding. Howell also showed a deft shooting touch, taking—and making—the open 14-footers the Duke defense was giving him.
He had six points in a 7-0 Wolfpack run that trimmed the Blue Devils' lead to just nine with 4:36 left, the first time it had been under double digits since early in the first half. Howell fouled out, though, when his elbow connected with Mason Plumlee's head with 3:41 remaining. Plumlee made both freebies to push the lead back to 11.
Alex is able
The story of Duke's surreal first half (it led 58-37 at the break) was best summed up by Alex Murphy. He played eight excitable minutes before halftime—he'd played more than that in only four of the Blue Devils' first 21 games this season—and provided a couple of memorable moments.
The 6-foot-8 redshirt freshman found himself matched up defensively on N.C. State star C.J. Leslie about 4 1/2 minutes into the game, and he forced Leslie to make a pass that resulted in a turnover. As he turned and ran upcourt, he gave Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski a big high-five—OK, it was an enthusiastic slapping of hands at a medium height. The crowd loved it.
That was just a warm-up for the fans, though. With about 8:45 left in the half, Murphy took a pass from Tyler Thornton near the perimeter and charged the lane, which was wide open. Murphy soared in for a powerful two-handed dunk. According to the Duke media notes, that was the first dunk of Murphy's college career.
That dunk, during a memorable half of basketball against the Blue Devils' "other" rival, was Murphy's signature offensive moment.
Thin isn't in
N.C. State's lack of depth was on full display Thursday night.
Point guard Lorenzo Brown (sprained ankle) didn't start for the second consecutive game. That was expected. But when shooting guard Scott Wood went down to the court and stayed there with a little less than five minutes left in the first half—he was chasing Duke freshman Rasheed Sulaimon around on defense and appeared to slip—the lack of bench depth was glaring. Wood was helped off and didn't play again in the first half. Coach Mark Gottfried said after the game that Wood hurt his groin.
Junior 7-footer Jordan Vandenberg was the lone player on the Wolfpack bench who has played any "real" minutes for Gottfried. The other three players in uniform (Jevoni Robinson, Chase Cannon and Jay Lewis) have only seen mopup minutes, and not too many of those—26 combined.
Wood returned for the start of the second 20-minute session and played most of it, which was great news for N.C. State. The reality of its razor-thin margin for error when it comes to injuries was still very evident, though.
Good job, good effort
In his first start for N.C. State, freshman point guard Tyler Lewis didn't wilt under the Cameron pressure.
In fact, he didn't have an opportunity to wilt. Lewis, who was filling in for Brown, scored State's first five points, but by the time any other Wolfpack player had put the ball in the basket, Duke held a double-digit lead.
Lewis had nine points and a pair of assists in 19 turnover-free first-half minutes. His counterpart, Quinn Cook, went 4-for-4 from beyond the arc, though those weren't all with Lewis trying to stick with the ACC's most improved point guard. With Brown out, the Wolfpack can live with Lewis' defensive shortcomings, so long as he runs the offense efficiently and takes care of the basketball.
Most games, when the opponent doesn't shoot 64.3 percent on 2-point attempts (9-for-14) and 58.8 percent from beyond the arc (10-for-17) in the first half, Lewis' efforts would be plenty. He played 39 minutes and didn't turn the ball over once. He finished with 13 points and six assists.

I enjoy taking classes that allow me to take things back into the classroom and use right away. I learned about so many wonderful ideas. Thanks again for all that you provided.
This has been the best online course I have taken. You have fabulous ideas and didn't water down the curriculum. You treated us like professionals and I highly recommend this class! Keep up the good work!
Even though I have been teaching math for 20 years, your course brought back ideas that I somehow have "shelved" during my tenure! I have taken MANY notes as to what I would like to bring back into my classroom!
Michele is a powerhouse of a teacher. Lessons were fresh and well-constructed and resonated true challenges in the classroom. She was inspiring and wise in her coaching and ideas. Her students are fortunate to have her as a math teacher, as I was to have her teach me how to be better at my teaching game. You won't regret this class.
Michele's enthusiasm for math is contagious! She presents her mastery of skill in an artful and fun way. Her ideas are brilliant and very creative. I love how fluidly she interweaves vocabulary, critical thinking, problem solving, games, and literacy into math. After taking the class I feel inspired to make math fun. Excellent course, I would highly recommend to educators needing a boost in their math curriculum!

text: WR White continues to impress By Mitch Vingle August 10, 2013 Story Share MORGANTOWN - In the old days, sports reporters covering WVU would slap on some sunscreen, take a notepad and watch almost all of the preseason Mountaineer practices.It was good for the school, which reaped the benefit of the publicity. It was good for the reporters, who had a clear understanding of the team. It was good for the fans, who received the most concise picture possible.These days, however, paranoia rules. At WVU, reporters are "allowed" to see a half hour of practice here or there. One can request a player to interview, but coaches must approve the selection. It's a different era thanks, in part, to cell phones with still and video cameras.Much of what we learn, then, comes via word of mouth. And this past week one lesson came across loud and clear. It was repeated more than multiplication tables.The subject was WVU's most sparkling player in camp so far. See if you can detect a winner."I really think Kevin White," said offensive tackle Nick Kindler. "He really understands things well now. He's catching and blocking.""Charles Sims," said quarterback Paul Millard. "And as far as the receivers go, Kevin White. He's big, tall and explosive.""Kevin White," said offensive lineman Pat Eger. "He goes out every day and works hard. He's hustling. He goes downfield. You can tell he put in a lot of work in the offseason. He's capitalizing on that." And finally, there was this from safety Darwin Cook."You already know who," Cook said with a smile. "Kevin White. He's a man."It's somewhat surprising in one way. Sure, White, a 6-foot-3, 211-pound junior college transfer, made waves in the spring. But there was an influx of talent, especially in regard to receivers, for this camp.One thought highly regarded freshman Shelton Gibson's name would be on the tip of tongues. Perhaps that of Mario Alford or Ronald Carswell. Someone new. Sims, as you read, was mentioned. Dustin Garrison pointed to fellow running back Wendell Smallwood. ("He's really come on," Garrison said. "He's starting to understand the offense, the line blocking and everything else.") As a follow-up, Kindler pointed to Sims, Garrison and linemen Curtis Feigt and Quinton Spain. Defensive end Will Clarke got a pat from Garrison. Cook followed up with Dreamius Smith and Sims.White, though, continues to impress all. He did so in the spring. He's apparently doing so now.Actually, it's a great sign for head coach Dana Holgorsen. It's another dimension. Mountaineer fans are used to the exploits of 5-8, 176-pound Tavon Austin, who was so coveted in the most recent NFL draft that the St. Louis Rams shipped a second-round pick to the Buffalo Bills and swapped first- and third-round picks to select him.Alford, a transfer, is 5-9, 175 pounds. Jordan Thompson is 5-7, 168 pounds. They are Smurfs. Ditto freshman Jacky Marcellus. Gibson, Carswell, Dante Campbell and Devonte Mathis are all 6-foot or taller.None, however, have the body combination of White. It's a throwback to the old days, when the bigger receivers ruled. Now even in the NFL, smaller, quicker players like Austin and Wes Welker are getting more looks and publicity."We thought it was important to get some guys in here with a little more experience and maybe a different body type than high school guys," Holgorsen said way back at the start of spring drills.Receivers coach Lonnie Galloway said, "yes, he's what you're looking for. He's big, athletic, can run, is tall, catches the ball ... I'd take five or six Kevin Whites."At the time, though, Galloway was hesitant to say more. White, after all, was new to WVU's camp. A native of Plainfield, N.J., White was fresh from Lackawanna College in Scranton, Pa. He was ranked the No. 2 junior college receiver in that state by one service. But Galloway didn't want White to get cocky and then complacent.Word is, he didn't.Many words.Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.

When Christin Norman stepped off the plane at the Sacramento airport on the morning of Dec. 29, she was excited to be the new pastor of Woodland Presbyterian Church, but she wasn't expecting how excited the church congregation would be to meet their first full-time pastor in 10 years.
As she and her husband, Will, reached the lobby, they were welcomed by decorated homemade signs that read "Welcome Home Christin and Will" and 17 members of the church who waited for them to arrive.
"It was overwhelming and surprising," said Norman, adding that the church members waited at the airport even though their plane was late. Norman, who moved from Georgia to pastor the church, said that for two weeks after she arrived, she and her husband did not have to cook a single meal because of the church's generosity.
"It's just been like that, an overwhelming welcome."
But Norman is not the only new pastor that has been welcomed into Woodland recently. In the past year, three new pastors have arrived in Woodland, all of them relatively young for their profession.
Rev. Wendy Watson, pastor of St. Luke's Episcopal Church and head of the Woodland Ecumenical Ministries, said that while the timing of the influx of new pastors in Woodland is coincidental, the young age of the pastors is not.
"When you go into churches, you are going to find lots of gray hairs," she said. "Churches are consciously choosing the younger generation. It's a sign of the church trying to renew itself and speak to people of a different generation."
Norman, confident and well-spoken, is only 26 years old, and joins the church after the previous pastor, Kathy McIntosh-Smith, retired due to age after years of serving the Presbyterian church part-time. Norman believes her age is a positive aspect of her new role.
"It's energizing to be in this place in a new time of transition," she said. "I'm the youngest person in this church by about 10 years, but the church is excited about that, having someone who is young and we're both learning together. It's an exciting time to jump in with them."
Also excited about her new role with her church is Rev. Elizabeth Brick, who became the pastor of United Methodist Church last July after the previous pastor, Ardith Allread, retired due to age. Brick, 43, said she loves the history of the church, which was established in the 1860s.
"It adds a lot of dimension. People can tell you the history, and they have a strong sense of ownership and investment in the community," she said. "Sometimes it's hard to move yourself outside of tradition and into something new, but it's also so wonderful to have people who are founded in their faith, whose grandparents and their great grandparents were a part of this movement."
Brick, a redhead who wears a necklace featuring the Methodist logo, said that despite an older congregation, the church still has a strong group of young adults.
"But I inherited that, I can't take credit for it," said Brick as she laughed. Brick added she is encouraged by the rising number of women who are in seminary and becoming pastors, recalling her own story and call to ministry.
"I was 12 when I was called to ministry, but I got a lot of messages that girls couldn't be pastors, so I abandoned my dreams and abandoned God's call for me," she said. She added that after she moved to Fresno she couldn't escape her ministry call and decided to pursue it. "I learned that saying yes to God was the most powerful thing I could do to make my life whole."
Another new Woodland pastor, Cory Johnson, 38, said he felt the call to ministry when he was in high school. "God opened my eyes to a sense of calling to ministry," he said.
"I love it. I can't imagine doing anything else at this point," he added.
After 14 years serving a church in Folsom, Johnson became the new pastor for Bayside Church in Woodland, filling the role left by Pastor John Withem, the church's founder, who died in November 2012 after a nine-month battle with cancer.
Johnson recognizes the impact Withem had on the church and city, and wants to use his youthful approach to continue the work of his predecessor. "He definitely had big shoes that he left behind. He is well loved still to this day, and he really left a legacy," Johnson said of Withem, whose funeral had 1,000 guests. "I think that his vision was for reaching out to and caring about this community, and in a sense to come and step into his shoes, it doesn't feel overwhelming because that's also what I want to do. I'm asking what does Jesus want us to do in this community."
Johnson said that his age, 20 years younger than Withem was at death, can be helpful to his church.
"If you're going to continue to be a growing church, you have to welcome in younger people to be a part of it," he said. "Oftentimes the older generations have built the church and there's a sense of ownership and they have relinquish that and say hey, we recognize that we want our children and our grandchildren to be a part of this and get to lead part of it."
Rev. Watson sees the shift as a positive aspect to church growth.
"The church does things that no one else does," she said. "Every generation we get to start again. If we choose not to start again, then we die."

Stigmergic systems moves on
This site was set up in 2001 to provide a record of the thinking behind the development of stigmergic systems.
In 2004, work on new projects was halted in order to re-assess the theory in light of the new thinking coming out of neurological research. Brain imaging techniques were revealing that the functioning of the human brain is totally different from the way it had been envisaged in the twentieth century. The old ideas, based upon systems theory and computer technology, were rapidly being replaced by a far superior theoretical model based upon new concepts of dynamic, complex systems.
The implications for information technology are far reaching and it was decided that the next step forward should be to encompass all further work within these new theoretical frameworks.
To this end, work has now started on practical examples to be developed in the stigmergic environment known as Second Life. This will involve developing avatar functions that can reflect the emotional needs of their owners.
The site is temporarily divided up into several different divisions that are linked together only on this home page.
The Second Life link is concerned with applications in the rapidly expanding field of artificial worlds. A recently emerged phenomenon, artificial worlds has grown out of its early birth in the teenage chat forums to where it is now showing great promise to become a leading contender in the fields of media entertainment, marketing and advertising. It deserves serious consideration, even at this early stage in its evolution.
The Stigmergic Systems link takes you to the site as it was developed up to the beginning of 2004. This contains most of the project notes, articles and references that covered the work between 2001 and 2003.
The Primer link provides a brief synopsis (with an example) of the thinking in 2004.
The New book link takes you to the starting of a new book which will attempt to explain some of the esoteric concepts necessary for the understanding of the recent scientific advances which has led to revolutionary new thinking about the way in which the human brain and mind function.

This is a Mobile Pegasus weather vain. I got from an elderly friend that recently passed away. She was from Lubbok, Texas, and a major share holder in the mobile gas company. Her friend sent it to her when the gas stations closed. It is 23 inches across and 9 inches thru the body to head. It is made of heavy metal. I have not seen another one like it. The person who sent it to her said that it was on top of the local gas station their in Lubbock. Can anybody tell me the age? or value?

The president of Novato's fire board was toppled three weeks into his term Friday after other directors questioned his judgment and said he might have violated personnel rules in talking about the fire chief's departure.
Brad Beedle was removed from the presidency in a 4-0 vote by the other board members. Farhad Mansourian, the vice president, took over the top post.
Beedle himself abstained from voting. After the meeting, Beedle said he had been "completely sandbagged" and pledged to call for a grand jury investigation into the maneuver.
He said he had no plans to resign from his seat.
"They can't do what they've done, and (then) business as usual," Beedle said after the meeting.
The vote came at the beginning of an otherwise dry, two-hour workshop about the fire district's 2013 goals. On the official meeting agenda, the looming takedown was listed as a "motion to reconsider" the Dec. 5 selection of the board's officers.
The motion, lodged by director Jim Galli, came in the aftermath of the abrupt retirement of former fire chief Marc Revere on Nov. 28. Revere's departure, which has never been explained by fire district officials, was announced after board members came out of closed session during a performance evaluation of Revere.
Shortly after the announcement, Beedle called several other fire chiefs in the county and told them that Revere was being replaced by an interim chief, Ken Massucco, the former county fire chief. In his conversations with the other chiefs, Beedle illegally discussed confidential matters from the closed session about Revere, other board members said Friday.
Beedle himself, in remarks at Friday's hearing, admitted he called the other fire chiefs as a courtesy to let them know "we have let Marc Revere go." But he said the news about Revere was discussed in open session, so he did not divulge any confidential information.
Beedle also said Mansourian called him before the meeting Friday and asked him to "take a dive" — give up the board presidency — by claiming his business was taking up too much of his time.
Later, in an interview, Beedle said that by saying "we have let Marc Revere go," he did not necessarily mean the board had fired him.
"My intention was, as a courtesy, to say that Ken Massucco was replacing Marc Revere," Beedle said.
Mansourian, citing the personnel confidentiality laws, would not comment on whether the board had in fact fired Revere.
In addition to the Revere controversy, board member L.J. Silverman said he had received complaints that Beedle had improperly lobbied the Novato Unified School District to be the paid as a standby paramedic for football games. Beedle is the proprietor of Global Medical and Safety, which sells medical and first-aid supplies and provides private medic services for special events.
Beedle denied trying to influence the school district, and said he has returned most of the money to the district for supplies and expenses.
Beedle has been a board member since 1997, and his current term ends next November.
The next board meeting is set for Jan. 2.
