5 things for Thursday, June 22: Senate health bill, Flint attack, Cindy landfall
Posted June 22
Need-another reason to be worried about climate change? It's screwing up coffee. Here's what else-you need to know to Get Up to Speed and Out the Door. (You can also get "5 Things You Need to Know Today" delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up here.)
1. Senate health bill
We'll finally get to see what's in the Senate health care bill, when Republicans release a "discussion draft" later today. Here are a few things we know so far:
The Senate bill would dramatically change Medicare, just like the House version. Spending on the program would be reduced by $800 billion over 10 years, partially by eliminating Medicaid expansion funding.
The Senate bill also would offer more-generous tax credits for-lower-income and older Americans. The House bill replaces-Obamacare's subsidies with tax credits, but they're considered inadequate to help those groups. The Senate's fix, however, could tick off conservatives, who think the tax credits are too much like the subsidies they're supposed to replace.
The Senate's bill may not include the House bill's prohibition on federal funding for Planned Parenthood, something else sure to make conservatives unhappy.
A vote is possible before Congress leaves town for the July 4 recess.
2. Flint airport attack
The FBI is investigating the stabbing of a police officer at Flint, Michigan's airport as an act of terror. Police said-Amor Ftouhi, a Canadian, yelled-"Allahu akbar" ("God is greatest," in Arabic) before he stabbed the officer in the neck with a knife with an 8-inch blade. The officer is in stable condition; Ftouhi, 50, is charged with-carrying out violence at an international airport.
3. Tropical Storm Cindy
Tropical Storm Cindy will make landfall this morning-over southeastern Texas or southwestern Louisiana. Tornadoes and as much as 15 inches of rain are possible along parts of the Gulf Coast. The storm has already killed one person, a 10-year-old boy who was struck at an Alabama beach by a log on a wave. Cindy is the-second tropical storm to form during-this year's Atlantic hurricane season. You can track Cindy here.
4. Sylville Smith shooting
A former Milwaukee cop was acquitted in the shooting death of a man during a foot chase.-Dominique Heaggan-Brown was found not guilty of first-degree reckless homicide in the August 2016 shooting of-Sylville Smith. The shooting sparked days of protests.-Heaggan-Brown was the third police officer in the past week to be tried for shooting a black man. Convictions are rare.
5. Teen sex survey
Teen sex habits and use of contraception-haven't changed much in the past decade. A new survey from the CDC says-42% of female teens and 44% of male teens reported having had sex at least once, a slight drop from the mid-2000s. Almost 90% of females and about 95% of males reported using contraception, again not much of a difference from a decade ago.

People are talking about these. Read up. Join in.
False alarm
It was the big one that wasn't. The USGS sent out an alert about a 6.8-magnitude quake striking Cali. But the alert was about 90 years too late.
Alternative facts
A couple claimed they can survive without food and instead use the universe's "energy." Some media outlets reported this, but we'll call it what is: B.S.
Hat tip
The Queen wore a hat that looks a lot like the EU flag while giving a speech to Parliament, and the internet just couldn't handle it.
Lie detector
Want to know if someone's lying? Just watch the way they move a computer mouse, because scientists say that's a dead giveaway.
Internet spud
So a (seemingly) smart guy invents a self-driving potato that acts like a cat because, well, it's the internet and that's what it does. (Click to view)

Move tags to the bottom of the post
Is it possible to easily move tags block from the right to the bottom of the post? For the blog with source code examples – post width is too narrow.
I tried to change .entry-meta css (float: right;) to (float: bottom;) – it works. But it seems I have to change some width and margins somewhere else.

An update on Microsofts approach to Do Not Track
As industry standards evolve, how we implement those standards evolve as well. So to reflect the current requirements of the privacy standard for tracking preferences, Microsoft is changing how Do Not Track (DNT) is implemented in future versions of our browsers: We will no longer enable it as the default state in Windows Express Settings.
While our implementation of DNT two years ago in Internet Explorer 10 (IE 10) was welcomed by many, others voiced concerns, especially given that discussions were underway at the time to establish an industrywide standard for user tracking preferences.
Since then, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has continued to refine language to address how users express a preference regarding tracking. The latest draft of the standard reads:
Key to that notion of expression is that the signal sent MUST reflect the user's preference, not the choice of some vendor, institution, site, or network-imposed mechanism outside the user's control; this applies equally to both the general preference and exceptions. The basic principle is that a tracking preference expression is only transmitted when it reflects a deliberate choice by the user. In the absence of user choice, there is no tracking preference expressed. (Emphasis added.)
As a result, DNT will not be the default state in Windows Express Settings moving forward, but we will provide customers with clear information on how to turn this feature on in the browser settings should they wish to do so. This change will apply when customers set up a new PC for the first time, as well as when they upgrade from a previous version of Windows or Internet Explorer.
We said in 2012 that browser vendors should clearly communicate to consumers whether the DNT signal is turned off or on, and make it easy for them to change the setting. We did that for IE 10 and IE 11. And we're continuing to do so with future versions of our browsers.

I really don't know why anybody would want to be tracked.
Maybe they are lost and trying to find themselves. People did that a lot back in the 60's and 70's. I have been M.U. S.U. and F.U. but never lost.
I wonder if DNT will help ATT customers?

Dental Surgery covers all types of surgery in the mouth, jaw and gums performed by dentists specializing in oral surgery. Including operative tooth extraction, surgical treatment of wisdom teeth, root tip infection and severe periodontitis, and advanced bone structure, tooth reconstruction and implantology. Prospecting will usually take place at your own dentist, who will make a referral to dental surgeon attached to the print journal and X-rays.
When you lose one, several or all teeth, there is a desire or need to get these replaced with artificial teeth. Furthermore it has been good and proven methods like dental bridges and dentures, but new breakthrough surgical technique now makes it possible that edentulous in one hour (Teeth-in-an-Hour) may add to the implants and fixed teeth, where before it could take up to 6 months, getting a new set of teeth. In preliminary investigations CT scan (Computed Tomography) jaws together with a model of the desired future teeth and produce a 3-dimensional image of the mouth and jaw bone. Recordings are edited on the computer where the dentist exactly determine where the implants should sit in order to be placed in good bone. From the computer model, using CAD / CAM technique produced both the completed bridge and also a guide rail that is placed on the patient, so the implants will sit exactly where desired. On the day of surgery is the guide rail and finally bridge ready. The patient local anesthetic, the guide rail positioned and are fixed and the implants are placed through small holes punched in the gums. After typically one hour, all implants screwed in and the final bridge with the new teeth are screwed. This method makes the surgery less painful and more gentle, and the subsequent time without much discomfort, so it shortly after surgery can both eat, drink and smile, and thus return to everyday life with full of life and turn that function immediately. Teeth are not just important to chew your food properly, but also to speak clearly and give your face a smooth appearance. - Click and read about implants >>
For example, a displaced canine in the situation where lack of space makes the canine can not find space in the tooth row. The tooth will therefore remain stuck in the jaw, facing either toward the palate or cheek (retention). A surgical extraction is typically needed in the following situations: by inflammation of bone and soft tissue around the tooth, the cyst formation around the tooth, at the risk of damaging the roots or displacement of adjacent teeth due to pressure from the corner else who tries to come forward when the impacted tooth act source of general illness or cause facial neuralgia (facial pain) and before you embed an artificial tooth. The surgical extraction is typically done under local anesthesia, where the mucous membrane detached from the palate or tooth elongation, depending on tooth position. The bone is removed with a drill bit, until the tooth by means of a rod or a lever tool can be pulled out. The wound is sutured together and can in certain cases be covered by a plate which is removed after 8-10 days. After treatment may occur swelling and pain associated with the wound as well as difficulties in opening the mouth, which, however, subsided after a few days. The healing process usually lasts up to eight days. - Click and get tips on tooth extraction >>
Many, including children, get root inflammations. A tooth nerve (pulp) contains in addition to nerves, also connective tissue and blood vessels. Nerves provide sensation to the tooth, and the blood ensures that the tooth can be kept alive. If you get a deep caries hole in the tooth, bacteria can gain access to the tooth nerve and cause inflammation (pulpitis) in the jaw from the root apex, hence the term root tip infection. It does usually very painful, especially when you eat something sweet or hot, and you will very quickly find a dentist. In most cases, the problem is resolved by a common root canal, where the dead dental nerves are removed and the root canals are filled and disinfected. In some cases it is not possible to clean the ducts and root canal through, so that stick dead tissue in the root, which act on the harmful to the surrounding jawbone, and forming a periodontitis. A periodontitis does not cause symptoms and can be asymptomatic for several years, but it increases in size and breaks down more and more of the jawbone. Frequently, there will be dull symptoms, and the condition may be acute with severe pain and swelling. This can usually be killed with antibiotics, but since you have not removed the cause seems only to reappear later. If a root tip infection flares up and can not be treated as described, either because it is the curvature of the root canal occlusion or a cemented pin, so the condition can be treated surgically with a root tip amputation, where the gums are pushed aside, and 2-3 mm of root-end removed. Concomitant inflammatory tissue scraped out and root canal sealed with a filling. The gums are sewn back in place. When the state heal, grow new bone into the hole in the jaw and already after a few months to restore the bone around the root apex. After surgery it is very common that there is an emphasis. The swelling may increase over the next 2-3 days and may cause difficulties in opening the mouth. Additionally, there appear elevated temperature and a possible hematoma (bruise) in the cheek area, respectively, the lower jaw. As with any surgical wound can begin to bleed again and there may be wound healing disturbances. If a root tip infection is not treated it can spread, so the tooth becomes loose and lost. There may be inflammation spreading to the jaw bone, jaw cavities, mouth floor and neck - and formed a tooth abscess. Persons with weakened immune systems may have serious problems with untreated root tip infection.
Precursor to periodontal disease is called gingivitis, or gum inflammation. If gingivitis is allowed to evolve without being treated, the bacteria begin to attack the jaw bone, rather than just the gums. Bacteria release toxins that make the bone disappears from the tooth and replaced by loose gums. Where the bone has shrunk, there is a periodontal pocket. The pocket may be measured with a special probe. When you have pockets of 4-5 mm, there is talk about Mon incipient periodontal disease being treated by a deep dental cleaning. - Severe periodontal disease: When pockets become deeper and greater than 5 mm, one speaks of severe periodontal disease. This marked not only bleeding but also pus from the pockets. Gums may be swollen and sore. In the last stage of the disease, teeth start to wander, loosen, and there may be tooth abscesses. For pockets of 5-7 mm recommended an 'Advanced periodontal disease treatment', with deep periodontal pockets treated under local anesthesia. A dental root treatment where root surfaces are smoothed and cleaned and disinfected pockets with laser and rinse. The teeth, which are very deep periodontal pockets of 8-12 millimeters of the surgical periodontal treatment as usually required. The treatment is carried out under local anesthesia, where the excess of the gums (tooth pockets upper part) is removed either by knife or laser. Thereby the teeth to look longer because part of the root becomes exposed, but the pocket is reduced, and obtained a favorable environment for cleanliness. When the surgical removal of pockets frequently used laser instead of a knife, this is because in this way you are free to cut, surgery takes less time, and the wound heals better. After a dental root-treatment there may be some soreness from the gums, which will diminish within a few days. Whichever treatment is carried out, it is very important that the treatment is followed up by frequent inspections and in many cases also frequent dental cleanings. If you have real problems, dental cleaning once a month will be the only way to keep the periodontitis back on. - Click for information about periodontal disease and loose teeths >>
Wisdom teeth, the last turn is formed, and therefore are often subjected to lack of space at the rear of the jaw. Some wisdom teeth while never breaking up to normal operation, either because there is no room for them in the jaw, or also because the dawn simply stops. A wisdom tooth, which is unrelated to the oral cavity may lie in the jaw for years without doing harm, but it can also unnoticed cause damage to adjacent teeth. Therefore, the condition checked by x-ray sometimes. Symptoms of inflammation of wisdom teeth is tightness and throbbing pain, and often bad taste. Inflammation and caries in wisdom teeth can cause damage to the anterior teeth and the surrounding jaw bone. In many cases where space conditions are bad, it is necessary to remove wisdom teeth. If they are roughly vertical, and have roots, they can often be pulled out by a normal tooth extraction. Otherwise, it is necessary to remove wisdom tooth by surgical intervention. Especially in the lower jaw, wherein the wisdom tooth can be wedged into the bone, it is necessary to divide multi-part tooth in order to remove the most gentle. Drawings are typically required: by inflammation of bone and soft tissue around the tooth crown, especially at delretinerede teeth by cyst formation around the crown of the delretinerede tooth at risk of damage to neighboring Kindt second due to pressure from wisdom tooth trying to come up when the impacted tooth act source of general illness or cause facial neuralgia (facial pain), where the pressure of the wisdom tooth can cause a displacement of the tooth row, which may subsequently require a jaw orthopedic treatment before integrates an artificial tooth, such as a crown or a bridge, on the last molar , or by the full prosthesis in an otherwise toothless the foot.
Surgical removal of a wisdom tooth is usually done under local anesthesia, in some cases under general anesthesia. An incision, the mucous membrane is loosened from the bone and the wisdom tooth is exposed by means of a Specialised, which removes the bone surrounding the tooth. Often it is necessary to remove a little of the covering the jawbone, and often must be divided tooth before it can be removed. The wound is closed with a few stitches. It can be complicated, why own dentist often refers to "the difficult" wisdom teeth to a dental surgeon. This may be where wisdom tooth does not have space to its crown may come forward and take its place in the tooth row or if there is danger of damage to neighboring Kindt second or inflammation and cyst formation, as the major causes. After surgery may occur swelling in the cheek area, high temperature and difficulty in opening the mouth and difficulty swallowing, which typically subside after 3-4 days. In some cases, experienced pain that pulls up in the ear. The healing process usually lasts a week. It is important that there are X-ray pictures of wisdom tooth, especially in the lower jaw, where you can judge whether the great sensory nerve of the jaw is connected to the wisdom of the standing of the mess. This nerve provides namely also for the feeling in the lower lip. If you are unlucky, so there may be the influence of this nerve function with varying degrees of pins and tingling or numbness of the lower lip. Sensory disturbances, however, usually is transient. - Click what you can do about nuisance after a dental surgery >>
Most people are treated in outpatient anesthesia, patients with a severe dental phobia, or in cases where a special dental treatment is so unpleasant or painful, the anesthetic may be necessary. Furthermore, anesthetic used in people who suffer from a disability that makes normal dental treatment impossible, for example, spastic paralysis. And finally, anesthesia is often used by dental treatment of patients with mental disabilities. Children under 15 can not be treated outpatient, and patients with serious illnesses will be referred to hospital if general anesthesia is deemed necessary. In principle, almost all treatments performed under general anesthesia. However, the most common treatments performed under general anesthesia >> wisdom tooth operations, root canals, surgical tooth extraction and other dental surgical procedures and major dental fillings. But in practice, all dental procedures performed under general anesthesia, which means that the treatment is over, when you wake up. Anaesthesia is now encumbered with very little risk if you are otherwise healthy. To make the treatment as safe as possible, the dental surgeon for the preliminary study provide some clarifying questions about your health. Of significance is perhaps the heart and lung diseases. Including chronic diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, thyroid problems, and severe obesity as well as hypersensitivity to drugs.
There are two kinds of anesthesia. One is the traditional form, where you as a patient fully anesthetized and therefore no record during processing. The second form, a deep, controlled stupor, has become possible in recent years due to developments in anesthetics. The deep, controlled torpor differs hardly from general anesthesia in terms of monitoring during dental treatment, but patients will not be "farther away" than that one can be aroused quite quickly. There are advantages and disadvantages of both types of anesthesia, which is therefore discussed and evaluated in advance in each case. Clinics that offer outpatient anesthesia care, follow the rules for anesthesia and monitoring, as recommended and used in large hospital anesthesia departments. Including measurements of heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen and carbon dioxide in exhaled air. Anesthetic agents for outpatient anesthesia is the newest kind there is. Anesthesia is quickly out of the body after treatment, and one can as a patient leave the clinic after perhaps half an hour. As a general rule, you should be at the wake and observation as long as you have been under anesthesia.

Just a few more days left here at Masdar City! I fly out on Sunday, which is the first day of classes here at the Institute.
The last few days have been spent frantically trying to finish up the biomaterials research (pictured above: one of our very generous scale donors). We finished taking most of the data very late last night (a painful but worthwhile sprint) and still have a few days left to try to make some sense of what we observed. I am looking forward to it. I have enjoyed the research here much more than I expected.
As for the city itself, I am very curious to see what this place will look like in ten years. The university is certainly in a state of tension right now, and to me, it seems that somehow this tension must be resolved and the school itself will be fundamentally changed as a result.
All in all, I am very grateful to have had a chance to explore this young and fast moving part of the world.

Both of these albums are long out of print and the first one is rarer than the second. You'd be lucky to buy one of these in a used record store or on ebay.....if you try to buy it on ebay, be prepared to pay a lot for it.
This is an old school 1990 type album....it has no wu sound at all. That may be why the album isnt liked by some wu fans....while some enjoy this album alot.

Book Description (*As described on Amazon.com)
Meet Denver, a man raised under plantation-style slavery in Louisiana in the 1960s; a man who escaped, hopping a train to wander, homeless, for eighteen years on the streets of Dallas, Texas. No longer a slave, Denver's life was still hopeless-until God moved. First came a godly woman who prayed, listened, and obeyed. And then came her husband, Ron, an international arts dealer at home in a world of Armani-suited millionaires. And then they all came together.
But slavery takes many forms. Deborah discovers that she has cancer. In the face of possible death, she charges her husband to rescue Denver. Who will be saved, and who will be lost? What is the future for these unlikely three? What is God doing?
Same Kind of Different As Me is the emotional tale of their story: a telling of pain and laughter, doubt and tears, dug out between the bondages of this earth and the free possibility of heaven. No reader or listener will ever forget it.
What I felt after reading this book was a renewed understanding that everyone has a story. Most of us breeze through our daily lives, encountering people we like and some we don't, some we judge - knowing little more about them than what shirt they happen to be wearing that day. Hearing Denver's story reminds us that we behave the way we do because of where we've come from, and because of how we are raised. It reminds us that while someone might appear to be falling apart, they might have more sense and understanding of their own life (and sometimes even yours) than you do. For those of us who get caught up in the daily grind like Ron, the book really hits home. I enjoyed the very personal and candid voices of both characters. Together, they've told a story of friendship, love and loss that is more intense than any fictional novel I've encountered. This book is, in my opinion, worth a read for anyone who needs a wake up call.
*I've been sent 1 copy of this book for review in conjunction with Booksneeze

Twins' Diamond shows slight rust in debut
MINNEAPOLIS — Through four innings, Scott Diamond's 2013 debut was about as smooth as the left-hander could have asked for.
Then, Diamond hung a pitch to Marlon Byrd to lead off the fifth inning and things unraveled for the 26-year-old pitcher. He wound up allowing four runs in the inning and recorded just one out in the fifth before his season debut was over. Diamond took the loss as Minnesota fell to the New York Mets by a 4-2 final at Target Field.
"It was good to get back in front of the crowd and the fans and everything and just be back on the bench," Diamond said of Saturday's game, which had an announced temperature of 35 degrees at first pitch. "I was hoping for better. … The biggest thing for me today was getting in a rhythm and just keeping a strong pace. It was cold, but battling the elements, I felt like I threw pretty well. I learned a lot from the mistakes I made today and hope to build off them."
Diamond missed the first two weeks of the season after rehabbing from offseason elbow surgery. The arthroscopic procedure prevented Diamond from pitching in any Grapefruit League games this spring, and he stayed back in Fort Myers for more rehab work as the rest of the Twins traveled north to begin the season.
Amid a rotation that was the worst in the American League in 2012, Diamond was one of the few bright spots. He led the Twins with a record of 12-9 and an ERA of 3.54. Diamond exhibited pinpoint control in his 27 starts as he walked 31 while striking out 90.
Saturday against the Mets, Diamond struck out just one but did not walk a batter. The fifth inning was his undoing, as he allowed six straight hits to end the inning.
"I think about the fourth or the fifth was when I was really starting to warm up and get used to being back on the mound," Diamond said. "I was aggressive in that fifth inning, and that's kind of my downfall is sometimes I'm too aggressive."
The only out Diamond recorded in the fifth came when New York first baseman Ike Davis tried to stretch a base hit to left into a double. He was gunned out at second base following Byrd's leadoff homer.
After Davis was tagged out, Diamond gave up four straight hits to Justin Turner, Ruben Tejada, Collin Cowgill and Daniel Murphy before giving way to reliever Josh Roenicke with one out in the fifth.
"I think the inning kind of sped up on me a little bit," Diamond said of the four-run fourth inning. "I've got to do a better job of executing a little better and just slowing it down so that we can try to get out of it and I can keep going a little deeper."
While Diamond became the ace of Minnesota's staff last year, he was opposing a young pitcher who is quickly becoming the Mets' ace. Right-hander Matt Harvey took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before Twins first baseman Justin Morneau ended it with a two-out solo home run in the seventh.
Harvey outdueled Diamond on Saturday as he allowed just two hits and one run in eight innings. He also struck out six Twins batters to improve to 3-0 on the young season.
"He threw the ball really well. He was able to keep our guys off balance," Diamond said. "For throwing as strong as he did for eight innings, he did really well."
Saturday's outing marked Diamond's shortest start since going just 2 1/3 innings on Aug. 23 of last year against Texas. The Twins were hoping he could go deeper into Saturday's game after Friday's starter, Vance Worley, exited in the second inning with nobody out. Instead, a combination of Roenicke, Casey Fien and Jared Burton combined to pitch 4 2/3 scoreless innings out of the bullpen in relief of Diamond.
Diamond said Friday that he was hoping to pick up where he left off last season. Saturday's start didn't exactly follow that trajectory, but there were signs of encouragement in the left-hander's 2013 debut.
"He got some pitches up there in the fifth inning, but a nice performance," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said of Diamond. "He was kind of cruising right along and doing everything OK. … We'll take that for his first performance of the year with us."

Llullaillaco (Spanish pronunciation: [ʝu.ʝai̯.ˈʝa.ko]) is a dormant stratovolcano at the border of Argentina (Salta Province) and Chile (Antofagasta Region). It lies in the Puna de Atacama, a region of very high volcanic peaks on a high plateau close to the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places in the world. It is the second highest active volcano in the world after Ojos del Salado.
Llullaillaco was constructed during two different phases in the Pleistocene-Holocene by dacitic lava flows. The oldest rocks are about 1.5 million years old. About 150,000 years ago, the volcano's southeastern flank collapsed and generated a debris avalanche that reached as far as 25 kilometres (16 mi) from the summit. The youngest dated rocks were erupted 5,600 ± 250 years ago in the summit region, but there are reports of activity from the 19th century.
The mountain's first recorded climb was in 1950, but traces of earlier climbs, and a number of archeological sites, were found on the mountain and at its feet. With an archeological site at the summit region, Llullaillaco is the highest archeological site in the world. There, in 1999, the mummified remains of three children, known as the Children of Llullaillaco, were found. They are presumed to have been human sacrifices.
The name Llullaillaco is derived from the Quechua word llulla meaning "false", "lie" or "deceitful" and yaku or llaco meaning "water".[5] This name probably refers to the meltwater from snow, which flows down the slopes but then is absorbed into the soil.[6] Normally such mountains are sources for water.[5]
Geography and geology[edit]
Volcanism in the Andes is caused by the subduction of the Nazca Plate and the Antarctic Plate beneath the South America Plate. The Nazca Plate subducts at a speed of 7–9 centimetres per year (2.8–3.5 in/year) and the Antarctic Plate at a speed of 2 centimetres per year (0.79 in/year). Volcanism does not occur along a continuous chain; there are four separate regions named: the Northern Volcanic Zone, the Central Volcanic Zone, the Southern Volcanic Zone, and the Austral Volcanic Zone. The formation of magma results from the release of water and other volatile material from the subducting plate, which is then injected into the above-lying mantle wedge. The volcanic zones are separated by areas where the subducting plate subducts at a flatter angle and volcanism is absent. The Peruvian flat slab between the Northern and the Central Volcanic Zones is associated with the subduction of the Nazca Ridge, the Pampean flat slab between the Central and the Southern Volcanic Zone is associated with the subduction of the Juan Fernandez Ridge, and the Patagonian volcanic gap between the Southern and the Austral Volcanic Zone is associated with the Chile Triple Junction.[7]
About 178 volcanoes are found in the Andes, 60 of which have been active in historical times. In addition, large calderas and monogenetic volcanoes exist in the Andes.[7]
Local setting[edit]
Llullaillaco is part of the Central Volcanic Zone.[8] At least 44 volcanic centres with historical activity and 18 large caldera-forming volcanoes have been identified in the Central Volcanic Zone.[7] Volcanism in the Central Volcanic Zone mostly occurs on the Altiplano and the Cordillera Occidental. A number of volcanoes there reach heights of over 6,000 metres (20,000 ft) above sea level. Large Miocene ignimbrites that cover large surfaces are also part of the regional geology.[9] Llullaillaco is located about 300 kilometres (190 mi) east of the Peru-Chile Trench.[10] The Wadati-Benioff zone is 180 kilometres (110 mi) deep.[11]
Llullaillaco is located in the northwestern Argentine Andes,[12] towards the southern end of the Puna.[13] The border between Argentina (Salta Province) and Chile crosses the volcano.[2] It lies in the Puna de Atacama, a region of very high volcanic peaks on a high plateau close to the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places in the world.
The volcano is an imposing mountain, rising by 3,800 metres (12,500 ft) above the Salar de Punta Negra 36 kilometres (22 mi) away.[14] With a summit height of 6,723 metres (22,057 ft),[15][1] or alternatively 6,739 metres (22,110 ft),[2] it is the second highest active volcano in the world after Ojos del Salado (6,887 metres (22,595 ft), 27°07′S 68°33′W / 27.117°S 68.550°W).[15][1] The height of the mountain and the clear air in the region make Llullaillaco visible from Cerro Paranal.[16] The region is dry and located at high altitudes, making work in the area difficult.[14]
17 kilometres (11 mi) farther east[2] of Llullaillaco lies the Miocene Cerro Rosado volcano (5,383 metres (17,661 ft)). This volcano has erupted dacitic lava flows during the Pliocene-Quaternary on its northeastern and southern flanks.[17] 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Llullaillaco,[14] and behind Cerro Rosado, lies the Salar de Llullaillaco (3,750 metres (12,300 ft) [18]), a salt pan with warm springs at its western and southwestern shores and three abandoned borate mines: Mina Amalia and the salt mines Mina Luisa and Mina Maria.[17] Mitral mountain (5,015 metres (16,453 ft)) lies southwest of Llullaillaco and is of Miocene age. It features an eroded crater that opens to the northwest.[19][20] Iris mountain (5,461 metres (17,917 ft)) north of Llullaillaco is constructed of Pliocene rocks.[19] Other volcanoes in the neighbourhood are Dos Naciones, Cerro Silla, and Cerro 5074.[21]
The volcano[edit]
Llullaillaco is a stratovolcano which rises 2,200 metres (7,200 ft) above the surrounding terrain.[1][15] The edifice has an elliptical shape with dimensions of 23 by 17 kilometres (14 mi × 11 mi) and has a volume of about 50 cubic kilometres (12 cu mi).[15][22] It is formed by thick dacitic lava flows erupted during the Quaternary.[23] These flows extend away from the volcano and form its summit. An older unit is formed by ignimbrites and pyroclastic flows.[11] Older lava flows extend west from the volcano and are partly buried by sediments closer to the edifice. These flows reach lengths of 20 kilometres (12 mi) and form about 70% of the surface of the volcano.[24]
The slopes of the volcano are fairly steep, with an altitude drop of 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) over only 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) horizontal distance.[14][25] The slopes high up are steeper than those at lower altitudes.[26] A crater at 6,100 metres (20,000 ft) altitude was formed early in the development of the Llullaillaco volcano.[27] Erosion has reduced it to a plateau.[24] This crater is filled with snow and ice. The ice shows evidence of recent geothermal heating.[28]
The summit of Llullaillaco is formed by a small cone with about four associated lava domes,[24] which reach lengths of 1–3 kilometres (0.62–1.86 mi) and have abrupt walls.[29] Large dacitic coulees emanate from the summit of the volcano and are young in appearance.[30] One extends north of the volcano and the other one south.[2] Their overall length is 4.5–8 kilometres (2.8–5.0 mi) and their flow fronts are up to 15 metres (49 ft) thick. Morphologically, these flows are reddish-black aa lava flows and feature blocks with sizes of 5 metres (16 ft).[24] The southern lava flow is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) long and was fairly viscous when it was erupted.[30] It almost reaches a road southwest of the volcano.[19] These flows feature levees and ridges. At first they were considered to be Holocene, but argon-argon dating indicates they are of late Pleistocene age.[2] Some traces of glacier activity are found in the summit area.[27]
At least two stages of construction are recognized, Llullaillaco I and Llullaillaco II. The first stage originated from two centres and is now extensively degraded by glaciation and hydrothermal alteration.[31] This applies especially to the 5,561 metres (18,245 ft) high Azufrera Esperanto mountain 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of Llullaillaco, where little original volcanic substance is preserved and where erosion has exposed deeply altered white rock.[24] Llullaillaco II on the southern and northeastern flank is better preserved; the toes of the lava flows reach thicknesses of 500 metres (1,600 ft).[30] Its lava flows are less extensive than the ones of Llullaillaco I.[11] Pyroclastic flow deposits with a composition similar to Llullaillaco II are found on the southern slope of the volcano and may have formed before the lava eruptions began.[29]
Volcanism in the Central Volcanic Zone may be affected by deep-seated lineaments, which control where volcanoes and geothermal systems form.[32] Such lineaments extend diagonally across the volcanic arc and are accompanied by volcanic manifestations at substantial distances from the arc.[33] One of these lineaments, the Archibarca, runs beneath Llullaillaco and is also associated with the Escondida copper deposit, [34] and the Llullaillaco, Corrida de Cori,[32] Archibarca, Antofalla,[35] and the Galán caldera.[34] Other lineaments include the Calama-El Toro.[33]
Several dry valleys originate on Llullaillaco, including Quebrada de las Zorritas on the north-northeastern slope, Quebrada El Salado and Quebrada Llullaillaco on the northwestern slope, and Quebrada La Barda on the southwestern slope.[36] The Quebrada Llullaillaco drains into the Salar de Punta Negra northwest of the volcano.[37] The volcano is relatively unaffected by water erosion.[26]
Periglacial phenomena are observed on Llullaillaco, commencing at 4,300 metres (14,100 ft) altitude and reaching their maximum around 5,100–5,400 metres (16,700–17,700 ft) on the Chilean and 5,350–5,700 metres (17,550–18,700 ft) on the Argentine side. There, solifluction and cryoplanation surfaces are developed,[38] including lobe-shaped ground and block ramparts.[39] These landforms have been mapped on the northwestern side of the volcano.[40] Patterned ground is also common.[41] Permafrost is found at higher altitudes.[38] Cryoplanation and solifluction landforms are also observed on Iris and Mitral.[42] Other than on periglacially influenced terrain, the ground at Llullaillaco is formed mostly by lavic rocks and block debris, which are frequently buried by tephra.[43]
Two abandoned sulfur mines can be found north and south of Llullaillaco.[17] The northern mine is known as Azufrera Esperanto and associated with an area of hydrothermal alteration. A path or road leads up to that mine from northwest.[20]
Debris avalanche[edit]
A major landslide occurred in the volcano's history during the late Pleistocene, probably triggered by volcanic activity.[23] This landslide descended the eastern-southeastern flanks of the volcano into Argentina,[30][2] first over a steep slope of 20° on the volcano,[44] split around Cerro Rosado and entered the Salina de Llullaillaco 25 kilometres (16 mi) east of the summit,[30] extending up to 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) into the salar.[45] The toe of the avalanche reaches a thickness of 10 metres (33 ft) above the salar in the avalanche's southern lobe. Part of the avalanche was channelled in a valley between Cerro Rosado and an unnamed volcano farther south.[46] When it reached Cerro Rosado, the avalanche climbed about 400 metres (1,300 ft) and mostly continued to flow southeast into the main avalanche path, with only a small flow continuing northeastwards. Part of the run-up avalanche later collapsed backwards over the main avalanche deposit.[47] Unlike Socompa farther north, a landslide scar is only poorly developed at Llullaillaco despite the large size of the collapse;[48] it was largely filled in later by lava flows and volcaniclastic debris.[49]
This landslide has been subdivided into four facies and features landforms like levees up to 50 metres (160 ft) high,[50] longitudinal ridges and a run-up mark on Cerro Rosado.[45] Such ridges may be associated with uneven underlying terrain.[51] The surface of the slide is covered by lava bombs less than 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) long, blocks exceeding 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) width, cobbles, and gravel-like rocks.[52] Close to the collapse scarp on Llullaillaco the largest blocks with sizes of up to 20 metres (66 ft) are found.[47] Overall, the margins of the landslide are very crisp and the surface covered by hummocks.[53]
The landslide deposit covers a surface of about 165 square kilometres (64 sq mi).[30] Its volume has been estimated at 1–2 cubic kilometres (0.24–0.48 cu mi) and the speed at 45–90 metres per second (150–300 ft/s). This speed range is comparable to that of the Colima, Lastarria, and Mount St. Helens debris avalanches.[54] The landslide occurred no later than 156,000 – 148,000 ± 5,000 years ago,[30] it might coincide with the 48,000 year old lava flow.[44] Some volcanic rocks were still hot at the time of the collapse, indicating that volcanic activity occurred immediately before the collapse.[48] A smaller undated avalanche occurred on the northeastern flank.[30]
Such landslides are common at volcanoes, where they are favoured by the steep edifices that form from lava flows being stacked on top of each other. It is not usually known what triggers the collapse, although eruption-associated earthquakes are suspected to play a role. Other volcanoes in the region with sector collapses are: Lastarria, Ollague, San Pedro, Socompa, and Tata Sabaya.[55] The Mellado and Cerro Rosado volcanoes close to Llullaillaco also display evidence of sector collapses.[49]
The terrain around Llullaillaco consists of andesite and dacite lavas and pyroclastics of Miocene to Pliocene age.[17] Some Oligocene-Miocene layers are exposed in the Quebrada de las Zorritas.[42] Dates obtained by argon-argon dating range between 11.94 ± 0.13 and 5.48 ± 0.07 million years ago. 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) west of Llullaillaco do Paleozoic granites and volcanites crop out. Elsewhere these layers are buried by Cenozoic rocks.[31]
Llullaillaco has mostly erupted dacites with medium potassium content, with rocks becoming more felsic the younger they are.[56] Rock samples taken from Llullaillaco are mostly porphyritic or vitrophyric, with a glassy or microcrystalline matrix. Phenocrysts are mostly plagioclase, with mafic phenocrysts being dominated by orthopyroxene and smaller amounts of biotite, clinopyroxene, and hornblende. Ilmenite, magnetite, and sulfide minerals are also present, magnetite especially in the more oxidized older lavas.[30] Some phenocrysts show evidence of a complex history.[57] Quartz is rare. Older lavas have developed a red colour and contain oxidized iron in form of hematite.[58] Lavas from Llullaillaco I are grey.[11] The content of SiO
2 is 65–67%.[22]
The rocks belong to the calc-alkaline series.[11] Trace element data are typical for Central Volcanic Zone rocks.[56] High potassium content is typical for shoshonite-like lavas erupted at large distance from the trenches.[10]
The composition may reflect magma differentiation in a solitary magma chamber, but with occasional replenisment with more primitive magma.[56] Magma mixing and plagioclase crystallization occurred in it.[59] A lithospheric structure probably directed magma flows over long time periods along the same pathway.[54] The depth of the magma source probably varied over the history of the volcano.[60] The total magma output at Llullaillaco is about 0.05 cubic kilometres per millennium (0.00038 cu mi/Gs).[22]
Geological history[edit]
Research by J.P. Richards and M. Villeneuve has allowed the determination of the geological history of the region. Had volcanism during the Eocene and Oligocene been centered on the Precordillera, increased subduction of the Nazca Plate during the late Oligocene caused the volcanic arc to broaden to about 250 kilometres (160 mi). 25 million years ago, the "Quechua event" triggered the uplift of the Puna-Altiplano, a highland covering a surface area of 500,000 square kilometres (190,000 sq mi) and reaching an altitude of 3,700 metres (12,100 ft). In the late Miocene-Pliocene a phase of strong ignimbrite volcanism occurred. About 2 million years ago, the "Diaguita deformation" was characterized by a change in the deformation regimen from crustal shortening to strike-slip faulting and of volcanism from voluminous felsic eruptions to isolated stratovolcanoes and back-arc mafic volcanism. A slowdown in the subduction may have caused this change. Nowadays most volcanism occurs at the western edge of the Puna, where volcanoes such as Lascar and Llullaillaco formed.[8][33]
Climate, glaciers and biota[edit]
The climate at Llullaillaco is cold and dry.[4] The average temperature is about −13 °C (9 °F),[12] with temperature maximums ranging −8 – −13 °C (18–9 °F) between summer and winter.[61] Ground temperatures however can reach 12.5 °C (54.5 °F) during the day in summer.[62] The temperature of the ground fluctuates strongly during the day.[63] The climate is extremely sunny on account of the lack of a cloud cover, the high altitude, and the close coincidence between summer solstice with the day where Earth is closest to the Sun.[64] Snowfall can occur down to altitudes of 4,000 metres (13,000 ft).[38] Precipitation is episodic to the point that it is difficult to give average values.[65] It is most often associated with either convective or cyclonic activity during summer and winter respectively.[66]
Small glaciers are found above 6,000 metres (20,000 ft) altitude.[23] Other sources contend there are no glaciers on Llullaillaco, which would make it the highest mountain in the world without one;[67] although the existence of an ice slab on the western slope was reported in 1958.[68] However, Llullaillaco has snow fields.[25] Firn and penitentes cover large surfaces above that altitude, especially in more sheltered areas.[69] 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) high penitentes were observed in 1954.[70] Snow covers the terrain above 5,400–5,800 metres (17,700–19,000 ft) altitude.[4] Gullies that are found in the area probably result from meltwater runoff.[21] The snowfields on Llullaillaco supply water to the Salar de Punta Negra.[71]
The existence of a cirque on the northwestern slope has been postulated.[72] It was once believed that Llullaillaco had experienced three large glaciations,[73] but the "moraines" are actually mudflow deposits.[74] However, during the Pleistocene glaciers reached down to 5,100 metres (16,700 ft) altitude on the northwestern slope. Lava flows have overrun some of the glaciated surfaces and it is possible that lava flows induced the melting of glaciers.[74] A number of glacial landforms elsewhere were destroyed by mudflows during the time of Llullaillaco's last activity.[75] Llullaillaco may not have been glaciated at all during the Pleistocene.[76]
Between 24 and 25° degrees southern latitude the Andean Dry Diagonal crosses the Andes. At this latitude, half of the precipitation falls in summer and the other half in winter.[14] The formation of this dry diagonal is an effect both of the rainshadow effect of the Andes, air subsidence within South Pacific High, and the cold Humboldt Current off the Pacific coast. This is the reason why the Atacama Desert exists.[65][77] The extremely arid climate at Llullaillaco is also a consequence of these climatic effects.[65]
Vegetation is scarce in the arid climate.[23] Vegetation at Llullaillaco begins at 3,700–3,800 metres (12,100–12,500 ft) altitude with Acantholippia punensis, Atriplex imbricata, and Cristaria andicola. They are joined at 3,900 metres (12,800 ft) altitude by Stipa frigida which can be found up to 4,910 metres (16,110 ft) of altitude. The maximum vegetation density is found around 4,250 metres (13,940 ft) with 12% of the surface and decreases thereafter, probably due to the low temperatures. At this altitude, Adesmia spinosissima, Fabiana bryoides, Mulinum crassifolium, and Parastrephia quadrangularis are found in addition to the previously mentioned plants.[78][79] Weakly developed bacterial communities have been found in the soils at Llullaillaco; some may depend on volcanic carbon monoxide.[80]
Dry valleys and sheltered areas feature grasses.[23] A permanent spring is found in Quebrada de las Zorritas.[78] Deposits in this valley indicate that between 2,436.8 ± 49 and 1,593.1 ± 36 radiocarbon years ago runoff was more intense.[81]
In 1999,[82] a team of archeologists found three mummies of children on the top of Llullaillaco.[12] At the time of their death they were six, seven, and fifteen years old.[83] They were ostensibly human sacrifices offered to the gods of the Inka pantheon on mountaintops.[84] In 2003 they were at the Catholic University of Salta,[83] but starting from 2007 they can be found at the Museum of High Altitude Archaeology of Argentina.[85]
The mummies were found buried 1.7 metres (5 ft 7 in) beneath a 11 by 6 metres (36 ft × 20 ft) large platform.[12][4] The existence of ruins in the summit area had been reported during the first climb of the volcano in 1950.[4]
Other archeological objects found along with the mummies included: headdresses with feathers, pottery, statues made out of gold and silver and textiles.[12] A total of 145 objects were found together with the mummies.[86] The hairs found with the mummies and as offerings accompanying the mummies have been subject of research to establish the background of the victims.[87]
At least three paths lead up to Llullaillaco. Two of them meet at a tambo or inn at an altitude of 5,200 metres (17,100 ft), while the third passes through a cementerio (cemetery) where 16 bodies were found in 1972 before reaching the tambo. From the tambo another path leads up the mountain, past two further archeological sites to 6,000 metres (20,000 ft) of altitude. At this altitude the path is marked by cairns, probably to indicate where the path is when the volcano is covered by snow. The path ends at 6,500 metres (21,300 ft) altitude at the Portezuelo de Inka ruins, where a staircase begins. From these ruins one path goes to a cemetery at 6,715 metres (22,031 ft) altitude and another to the summit platform. The other path reaches two subrectangular walls 20 metres (66 ft) farther up, and continues to the platform where the mummies were found.[4] These are the highest archeological sites in the world.[82] The paths were discovered by Mark Rebitsch in 1958.[88]
Llullaillaco appears to have been the most important Inca sacred mountain in the region.[89] Archeological sites are also found in the valleys that drain Llullaillaco towards the Salar de Punta Negra,[90] including the Quebrada Llullaillaco and the Quebrada de las Zorritas.[86] The paths connect with the major north-south axis that runs between San Pedro de Atacama and Copiapo.[91] This axis is associated with the extensive Inca road system.[92]
Eruptive history[edit]
Llullaillaco I is of early Pleistocene age.[31] The oldest date, 1.5 ± 0.4 million years ago, was determined on a lava flow northwest of Llullaillaco's main edifice.[20] Two dates obtained on lava flows of Llullaillaco II are 401,000 ± 6,000 and 1,500,000 ± 400,000 years ago, based on argon-argon dating and potassium-argon dating respectively.[30] Surface exposure dating based on helium has yielded ages of 41,000 ± 1,000 years for Llullaillaco I at over 5,000 metres (16,000 ft) altitude and of 5,600 ± 250 years for Llullaillaco II at an altitude of over 6,000 metres (20,000 ft).[74]
The northern young lava flow is less than one million years old based on potassium-argon dating, the southern flow is 48,000 ± 12,000 years old based on argon-argon dating on biotite.[30]
Llullaillaco has been active in historical time,[93] with the last eruption occurring in the late 19th century.[58] Eruptions were recorded in February 1854, September 1868, and May 1877, involving two explosive eruptions and one with lava flows.[2] According to a report in 1899, during the 1868 eruption large fissures opened on its slopes.[6] The last eruption consisted of smoking reported at the time of the 1877 Iquique earthquake.[94]
The volcano is currently considered dormant.[15] Future eruptive activity may cause sector collapses, although they would be a small danger to human life, given that the area is sparsely inhabited.[44]

Loss of Brain Protein in Mice Leads to Schizophrenia-Like Behavior
Disrupting the function of a key cranial molecule leads to microscopic brain abnormalities and schizophrenia in mice, according to a team from The Scripps Research Institute. Neuregulin is an important developmental protein that helps the brain form its distinct structures early in development.
They also found that the schizophrenic mice could recover normal behavior when treated with clozapine, a decades-old drug sometimes used to treat schizophrenia in people. They thus suggest that these mice might provide researchers with a good model for studying the disease. This study also provides support for the schizophrenia hypothesis that implicates glutamatergic neurons, because the mice had problems with their glutamatergic synapses.
The abnormalities found the mouse brains were similar to those seen in the autopsied brains of people who were diagnosed with schizophrenia, the scientists note. Also, genetic studies have linked inherited forms of this protein and its receptors to schizophrenia and numerous other mental health problems, they add.
In the study, the team effectively removed the function of neuregulin by eliminating the receptor to which it binds. Because this is such an important developmental protein, they expected that eliminating its receptor would severely impact the development of the mouse's brain. As it turns out, the brains were normal overall, but the loss of neuregulin did affect the brain on a microscopic level.
Investigators revealed that when mice are deprived of neuregulin, their dendritic spines start to form but do not completely mature. Instead they fall apart while the brain itself matures. The effect of this loss is evident in behavior tests, where mice display hallmarks of schizophrenia, such as social interaction problems and reduced anxiety.
Loss of the spines also kept mice from adapting to and anticipating a startling noise, which is a classic sign of a schizophrenia-like state, the Scripps team explains.
The findings were published this week in the early edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Executive Committee
|Vann Masvidal
Vann Masvidal, President
Bird Ally X
Vann Masvidal has been rehabilitating wildlife at various centers throughout Northern California since 2005. He is currently co-director of the aquatic bird rehabilitation group Bird Ally X. His favorite species to work with are Yellow Billed Magpies and Brown Pelicans. In serving on the CCWR board, he hopes to be of greater use to California's wildlife by helping facilitate the sharing of knowledge between rehabilitators throughout our diverse and beautiful state.[/showhide]
|Kathy Bolen
Kathy Bolen, Vice President
Critter Creek Wildlife Station
[showhide]I am a transport/rehabilitation volunteer for Critter Creek Wildlife Station, located just outside the City of Fresno on the way to Kings Canyon. I rehabilitate songbirds and squirrels.
Career-wise, I have a degree in Biomedical Engineering and worked as a Vascular Technician at the Naval Regional Medical Center in San Diego for 11 years. Another career move had me attending and graduating from the Regional Police Academy and serving on the San Diego Police Department for 25 years.
I take great pride in making friends with those who find our wildlife, letting them know the important role they have served in caring enough to hold on to that creature until we can retrieve it.
I am also a falconer and love to use my birds as educational ambassadors.
My interest in being on the CCWR Board of Directors is to improve the communication between wildlife rehabilitators not only statewide, but directly within Region 4. It would be so useful to be able to share information with others in the Central Valley in regards to volunteers, rehabilitation trends, medical and veterinary practices.[/showhide]
|Nancy Barbachano
Nancy Barbachano, Secretary
Wildlife Care of Sacramento
[showhide]Nancy started out as a pre-school teacher and then became a paralegal, working in that field until she retired. She has been involved in wildlife rehabilitation for about 15 years. She is a feather only-everything from hummingbirds to hawks. She started in 1997 with Sierra Wildlife Rescue, working her way up from volunteering twice a week to being President. She ran their intake center and also served as songbird team leader and education committee. She is currently rehabilitating with Wildlife Care Association in Sacramento and Gold Country Wildlife Rescue in Auburn.
She is very active in her county as she lives in a section that other rehabilitation groups may not service. The local Veterinarians and animal services directly refer birds to her. She specializes in Woodpeckers and obtains them from all over Northern California She is currently working on a study with the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology on acorn woodpeckers and whether or not they can be incorporated into an existing colony.
She thinks it is important for all rehabilitators to continue to educate themselves so they can provide the best possible care to patients. She thinks networking is important as we are all in this together for a common goal. She would like to participate in education and outreach so we can get the best possible people with the most experience helping us. She also believes CCWR needs to make the general public aware of what we do and get more people involved.[/showhide]
|Sharron Baird
Sharron Baird, Treasurer
[showhide]I began rehabilitating wildlife 18 years ago when I had trees cut down that contained a nest with three tiny tree squirrels. In spite of what I did, they grew healthy and strong and after release they raised several litters of their own. Subsequently I worked at getting my own permit and continuing my education on wildlife care. I have had my own permit for several years and I primarily work with small mammals. I am a 501 (c) 3 organization and have both federal and state tax exemptions. My website can be found at www.squirrelmender.com. Last year I took in almost 300 animals.
I have completed most of the IWRC education classes as well as attend their annual conferences. At a member of NWRA I have volunteered to set up their mammal sessions for their annual symposium and have been a moderator for several years. I have presented several times and will be presenting at 2013 symposium.
I have a firm commitment to CCWR as I strongly believe that wildlife rehabilitation is a profession and not a hobby (as many see it) and the need for a committed voice to the public is necessary. I have been impressed with the growth and accomplishments of our state group and their support of the rehabilitator as a liaison with DFW.
As a small, home-based rehabilitator, I understand the pressing needs of the individual; as a member of the CCWR board previously, I have spent time talking to individuals and facilities to get to know them, their concerns, and the best way to represent them as a whole.
I founded the Conejo Free Clinic in 1976 which provided legal and medical services to those who had no access to such services. I worked as executive director of that organization until my retirement at the end of 2008. I always have felt the need to speak for all of the voiceless, whether they are homeless, people in need, or our native wildlife. I sincerely thank the dedicated wildlife rehabilitators in California for the opportunity and honor of serving on the CCWR board.[/showhide]
Members at Large
|Veronica Bowers
Veronica Bowers
Native Songbird Care and Conservation
[showhide]Veronica Bowers is the director and founder of Native Songbird Care and Conservation, located in Sebastopol. NSCC is a wildlife rehabilitation facility devoted exclusively to the care of native passerines. At NSCC, she is responsible for providing care to over 600 songbirds each year, recruiting and training her volunteers, raising funds to cover her operating costs, responding to approximately 3000 calls annually from the public, and providing field rescue and transport of birds to her facility.
Veronica is devoted passerines and teaching others about them. She is committed to improving standard of care for passerines in wildlife rehabilitation and teaches songbird rehabilitation classes around the country. She presents educational outreach programs to community groups in her local area and serves as a docent with environmental groups teaching children and adults about wildlife and native habitats.
Veronica enjoys the educational opportunities and resource sharing offered through the CCWR. She deeply values the networking opportunities with other rehabilitators throughout the state. As a home-based wildlife rehabilitator, she feels especially fortunate that we have such a strong state organization that does so much to provide these resources and make them readily available to all of us. As a member of the CCWR board, Veronica wishes to focus her energy on representing our members and California's wildlife through her efforts on the Membership and Advocacy Committees.[/showhide]
|Shannon Riggs
Dr. Shannon Riggs DVM

Ruth McDunn
Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley
[showhide] I've been a member of CCWR since 2013 and involved in ENews!!!, biannual newsletter layout/formatting, website maintenance, scholarship committee, and the symposia for the past 2 years.
I have a BS in Biology and Chemistry and a MS in Molecular Biology. I worked at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford for almost 22 years before I was able to take an early retirement, where I could spend more time working for and with animals. At SLAC I managed content on one of the largest websites in the world, which was also the first website in the US. I spent six years in Environment, Safety and Health training, two years in assurance, and the remaining time in project management, where I built online systems to help manage large projects.
I started volunteering at WCSV in August of 2011, when I was contemplating retirement. In January 2013, I was promoted to shift captain. I continue to volunteer from 4-8 hours each week at the center doing animal care and database assistance. I have been responsible for layout and formatting the biannual newsletter, Tracks, since 2012. I have worked with just about all types of animals that we get in care from baby birds, opossums, squirrels, raptors, and predatory mammals – of all ages – and even a few amphibians and reptiles. I am authorized to release animals as they are ready and I am often asked to photograph the releases for online and print publications. In February 2015, I also started volunteering one shift each week at the Youth Science Institute at Alum Rock Park, doing animal care and working with their ambassador animals.[/showhide]
|Elaine Friedman
Elaine Friedman
Corvid Connection
[showhide]I am the Director of Corvid Connection. Corvid Connection uses live wild (permanently injured) birds to educate the public about wildlife related issues.
We do over 300 programs a year and also act as a wildlife rehabilitation sub-permittee for organizations such as Wildcare and Lindsay Wildlife Experience. I have been working in the field of wildlife rehabilitation and education for 30 years. My experience includes acting as Corvid Species Manager for a local center, raptor handling including eagles, consulting with local centers, including Wildcare on the training of educational animals, supervising and training volunteers, presenting wildlife papers and advising rehabilitators countrywide on Corvid related issues.
I have been a member of CCWR almost since it's beginning. CCWR is enabling the rehabilitators and educators of California to become more knowledgeable and professional. The more professional we are, the more our input will be recognized and valued by the public and state and federal governments. My main focus is training and education.[/showhide]
Founding Director
|Crystal Norris
Crystal Norris
CCWR Founding Director
[showhide] Originally from the state of Florida, I have been involved with wildlife rehabilitation since 1980. I was an active member at Santa Rosa Bird Rescue Center for over 15 years and since 1994, I have served on the Sonoma County Fish and Wildlife Commission. As a long time member of both NWRA and IWRC, I served for 5 years as a board member of IWRC. Among other projects completed while on the IWRC Board of Directors, I worked on the accreditation for rehabilitation centers.
As one of the founding board members of CCWR, I served as president for many of those years. I, along with your other Board members, believe that wildlife rehabilitators have developed better networking throughout the state thanks to work completed by the by the organization. I feel CCWR has bridged many gaps between the wildlife rehabilitation community and the Department of Fish and Game.[/showhide]
Honorary Board Members
|Chuck Traisi
Chuck Traisi
Honorary board Member
[showhide] I began working in in the field of wildlife rehabilitation in 1985 and established the Fund for Animals Wildlife Center in Ramona California. After creating an extensive networking system with other groups in the area to ensure for the care of all wildlife species, our 1-acre center specialized in the care of large mammals and birds. The Fund responded to all wildlife calls on a 7/24 basis. The center also had a Restricted Species Permit and was a regular recipient of wild animals confiscated by CDFG.
I was selected as one of the first members of the Board of Directors for CCWR and remained on the board for 17 years. During this time I served as board President. In August of 2010, I retired as Director of the Fund for Animals Wildlife Center and from the Board of Directors of CCWR. I still am on two committees for the CCWR.[/showhide]
|Todd Cecil, DVM
Todd Cecil, DVM, DABVP-Avian
Pet Emergency and Specialty Center
[showhide]I started my career working with exotic animals and wildlife while employed as a zookeeper at the San Francisco Zoo and a volunteer at the Coyote Point Nature Museum. At the San Francisco Zoo's Animal Resource Center, I gained great knowledge of handling, care, and nutrition of many wildlife species, kept as tamed education animals. As a volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation facility, a sense of medical triage and recovery would become a useful tool for my future career as a veterinarian. During veterinary school, I selected a zoological medicine track with an emphasis in zoological, wildlife and aquatic species and received my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the University of California at Davis in June of 1994. Externships at many zoological parks, aquaria and wildlife facilities led to an internship position in avian, exotic and wildlife medicine.
As a private practitioner in the San Diego area for over 15 years, I have been treating avian, exotic and wildlife species exclusively. Three years ago I joined the team at the Pet Emergency & Specialty Center, anchoring a newly established Avian/Exotic Service. The PESC encourages communication between the different services (Emergency & Critical Care, Internal Medicine, Surgery and Avian/Exotics) in order to implement the best possible care for all patients. Personally, I am involved with multiple wildlife rehabilitation groups, working with species from fish to raptors, focusing on individual animal health, population dynamics and habitat ecology.
I believe we, as a veterinary and animal health care community, can offer wildlife species the same high level of medicine that is offered our canine and feline companions. Modalities such as a complete physical examinations, radiology, blood work and microbiology are vital diagnostic criteria routinely performed at our practice. The implementation of specialized diagnostics including serology, ultrasonography and endoscopy/laparoscopy can be arranged to better care for animals on their way to recovery.[/showhide]

Get info about Highline Community College game schedule, and registering for discussion sections and departmental seminars. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches want to hear from serious recruits throughout their high school career. Don't be shy to send videos of your best games to college coaching staff or scouts. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Highline Community College Athletics information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Highline Community College.
Stay in great shape, even through the off-season. Being physically fit includes knowing about nutrition, staying healthy, and not overworking your body before big games. Practice the basics, over and over, especially targeting skills related to your position. Become a super-specialist, and you'll always find your place on an athletic team. Keep your eyes on the ball, and sacrifice your body if you must, but don't drop the ball.
Watch the ball all the way into your hands, and get a good initial grip. Your sixth sense needs to be developed to stay aware of other players at the same time. Follow the advice that college coaches give you, and it will make a big difference in how you play. That's because most college coaching staff were star players at some point in their careers. Camden CC baseball coaches may encourage student-athletes to apply via early decision. Students who are considering applying via early decision should be aware of the rules and obligations that this commitment entails. Beyond consideration for Highline Community College game schedule, you may think about Georgia Highlands College classroom map for complementary electives to your primary course of study.
