Jerry Reighard receives contract extension
Future recruits for the Central Michigan gymnastics program are now assured that Jerry Reighard will coach them after Reighard signed a four-year extension to continue his head coaching duties at CMU that he has held the last 28 years.
Reighard a record a nine time Mid-American coach of the year says the extension will help ease recruit's parents.
"I think it's a great thing for me," Reighard said. "It gives me some continuity, I think it will be a great thing for recruiting. One question I get asked by recruit's parents is "Will I be here for their daughter's entire career?" those questions won't come up now."
After winning their third straight MAC title, and taking his team to the NCAA regional's for a fourth straight year Reighard says the extension means that the administration sees the value of the program and the direction it's going.
In 28 years Reighard has 429 victories and has won the MAC 13 times.
He feels that he can continue to meet the high expectations that have been placed on his program.
"This contract isn't going to make me work any differently," Reighard said. "I just hate to lose and so I recruit athletes that have that same mind set. We're going to continue to go down the path that we've gone down. The contract will not change the way I coach."
While it's the offseason for the gymnastics team Reighard hasn't stopped working. Reighard has attended a couple national tournaments and has been on the recruiting trail.
"For recruiting I've been out on the road more or less continuously," Reighard said. "That is the big thrust and then almost the entire team is here for the summer, whether they are taking classes or practicing and getting better. The days are pretty full."
The contract does not include a pay increase to Reighard's salary, which will remain at $110,305.
The extension will put Reighard in his 32nd year as the head coach, and he says retirement hasn't even crossed his mind at this point in his career.

Separate stabbing incidents in Baltimore and in Baltimore County overnight left one man dead and four people injured, police in both jurisdictions said Sunday.
In the Baltimore confrontation, city police said, 19-year-old Jesse Clark-Nugent died early Sunday after he was stabbed multiple times inside the Two O'Clock Club in the 400 block of E. Baltimore St.
Two others were injured in the strip club along The Block. A 30-year-old man stabbed in the neck and a 17-year-old boy stabbed in the torso are expected to survive, police said.
Baltimore police said they believe the three were in a fight with a man who fled before officers arrived at about 1:30 a.m. The suspect was described as a 6-foot-1 black man with a light complexion wearing a dark-colored shirt, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Baltimore police at 410-396-2100.
The Two O'Clock Club is where famed burlesque dancer Blaze Starr performed for years — back when The Block was a different place altogether. Starr began performing in 1950, but left the Baltimore stage in the 1970s, when "pornography had caught up with The Block," she said in a 2010 interview with The Sun. The management of Two O'Clock Club did not respond to calls for comment.
Sunday's incident was the city's fifth stabbing death of 2014, and the 30th homicide since Jan. 1.
Separately, two people sustained minor injuries in a knife fight at the Hot Skates roller skating rink in the 1700 block of Whitehead Road in Woodlawn late Saturday night, Baltimore County police said.
A 17-year-old boy was "confronted by a group of people" outside the rink, police said in a statement. Afraid, the youth brandished a knife. Police said he and a 19-year-old man were injured, but in a minor way, and both were reported in good condition.
Police said they were notified of the incident at about 11:40 p.m. Saturday. The youth was charged as a juvenile in the incident and will not be identified. The Hot Stakes staking rink did not respond to calls for comment.
Baltimore Sun reporter Colin Campbell contributed to this article.

Santa Fe has experienced a dramatic rise in opioid addiction in recent years eliciting serious concerns among local families, government officials, and healthcare professionals. As a result, Santa Fe has gained a number of local physicians specifically authorized to prescribe suboxone (buprenorphine) to individuals struggling with moderate to severe opiate addiction. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) has emerged as a common standard of care in addiction treatment for individuals who are at risk for repeated opioid relapse.
If you are a Santa Fe doctor treating local residents for opioid addiction, you may purchase a featured listing at the top of this page insuring that your opioid treatment services will be located by prospective patients reviewing Methadone.US for a quality suboxone provider. Suboxone (buprenorphine) has become a leading therapeutic intervention for opioid addicted individuals. Methadone.US is striving to inform the public about the variety of opioid replacement therapy options available in Santa Fe.
Opioid Treatment Program Rules
Methadone programs and doctors who prescribe buprenorphine serve a very important function in helping the country cope with the opioid crisis. They are also a life-saving link for patients who have suffered for years with an overwhelming addiction.
Operating a methadone clinic or buprenorphine/suboxone practice is typically a complex endeavor. Clinics that offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) must comply with a myriad of mandates and policy requirements from the DEA, the local State Methadone Authority, accreditation organizations like CARF and JCAH, SAMHSA (the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration}, and 3rd party payers who help fund treatment services.
Patients understand that a well-run treatment clinic offers many benefits. Quality services are only delivered when there is an organizational commitment to helping people while also being able to meet all of the operational requirements such as timely documentation of services (paperwork) and appropriate support of staff & counselors,
Sometimes patients will complain about "so many clinic rules" although many patients appreciate their clinic's dedication to professionalism and its ability to meet the standards of good quality care. Within most treatment facilities are several key staff who oversee its daily operation and the provision of services. These are the Clinical Director, the Medical Director or primary prescribing physician, the Nurse Supervisor, and possibly clinical staff Team Leaders who do the work of coordinating the clinics many daily activities.
While the list of clinic rules can seem long, there is nearly always an important underlying reason for that rule to exist. Most methadone clinics distribute a Handbook for clients that outlines their rights as an opioid treatment patient as well as guidelines for obtaining dosage adjustments and progressing successfully through treatment.
Opioid treatment, and medication-assistance in particular, must be carefully monitored. This is to insure patient safety and to minimize the risk of medication errors. Please support your local methadone or suboxone clinic with words of encouragement and positive feedback when it is earned. Conversely, it is important to speak up as well if serious problems are occurring. Always make an effort to communicate first with the clinic's clinical and administrative staff if experiencing a problem. If an honest effort to resolve an issue in this manner is not productive, then contacting one's local State Methadone Authority is sometimes a logical next step for addressing an important concern.

Ohio Town Hall on Opioid Addiction
Several organizations in Ohio recently hosted a town hall discussion on the opioid crisis still occurring there and across the country. News commentator, Eric Bolling, was a moderator of the event which was held at Cedarville University.
Eric and his wife, Adrienne, lost their 19 year old son in 2017 due to an accidental overdose with the powerful opioid, fentanyl.
This town hall discussion was designed to continue raising public awareness on the danger of opioid misuse and the continuing need for treatment and recovery support services to help families deal with this perpetual problem.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report that there were 70,237 drug overdoses in 2017 with 47,600 involving opioids specifically. The article linked above states that the state of Ohio ranked 2nd in overdose deaths only behind West Virginia.
There is promising news in that more Americans are now being educated on opioid risks, and consequently are taking better precautions as well as actively accessing methadone & suboxone programs offering helpful medication-assistance and behavioral counseling. Saving lives and offering recovery are messages that are being heard.

Youth and Opioid Addiction
In past decades, opioid addiction was skewed more heavily toward an older generation of adults. But today we have larger numbers of youth using opioids and experiencing addiction-related problems at earlier ages. Importantly, research has demonstrated conclusively that those who remain engaged in treatment for six months or more are much more likely to stabilize and to enjoy sustained success with recovery.
A recent Reuters Health article highlights the fact that many opioid-addicted youth are either not yet engaging in treatment or are exiting treatment too early. While more youth are being saved through the overdose reversal drug naloxone, a majority of addicted youth are still not receiving medicated-assisted treatments such as buprenorphine or methadone.
More work is necessary to open up treatment avenues for young adults across America, and to both educate & compel youth to seek MAT (medication-assisted treatment) as soon as possible.
The opioid addiction problem in America will not soon disappear. Drugs continue to find their way across the U.S. border through multiple avenues. Positive efforts are indeed bringing needed change, but the complexity and extent of opioid addiction in the U.S. will require a long-term, sustained commitment throughout the country. We must get the message out – especially to young people who may not fully grasp the power of addiction!

Opioid Use Disorder A Modern Reality
Opioid Use Disorder is the newer clinical terminology (from the DSM5) used to describe the full range of opioid problems ranging from mild opioid-related use issues to severe opioid addiction.
The CDC reports that in 2017 there were 72,287 deaths from overdose in the United States. That is certainly an alarming statistic. Of that number, 49,060 of those deaths were from opioids specifically – just in 2017. By contrast, there were 58,200 U.S. fatalities that resulted from the entire Vietnam war.
The good news is that government funding for opioid treatment is finally entering the stream on a local level. Increasing numbers of methadone clinics and physicians authorized to prescribe buprenorphine are moving into America's more rural areas, ones that have historically been severely underserved.
As treatment for Opioid Use Disorder becomes more readily available, people struggling under the constant pressure of addiction will have an opportunity to apply the brake, and to veer onto a new path of stability and recovery. That being said, it is estimated that presently only 1 person of 10 with an opioid use disorder has sought treatment. For many opioid addicted people, treatment made the difference between life and death.
Choose a new path is more than words for those that have truly done so. Addiction is a highly persistent disease, but change is possible. Commitment and action are the necessary ingredients in opening the door to a new life. Opioid Use Disorder, in particular, is successfully treated with medication assistance. Science, research, and life experience have fortunately reinforced this fact with perfect clarity. Please find a local treatment provider today!

I've been obsessed with these girls for a few months now, and get unnecessarily excited when they come out with anything new, whether it be song or video. I just realized yesterday that I haven't posted about them at all, and now that they're quickly nearing hipster royalty, I should really introduce you to, if you haven't already heard, HAIM.
These three sisters, Este, Danielle, and Alana, only started releasing singles last year, but being the new kids on the block haven't stopped them from growing underground notoriety at a rapid pace. All of a sudden my Songza is playing them and I realize they've arrived.
After already being on tour with people like Edward Sharpe, Mumford and Sons, Florence + The Machine, and Ke$ha, these girls don't have a full length album yet, but one is scheduled for release this year, to be vague, and the fans (me) can't wait for the 80's influenced pop to continue. Every single they've released has been absolutely epic, and below is my absolute favorite to date still "Don't Save Me", along with an amazing follow up that just debuted a couple months ago "Falling".
I'm pretty sure these ladies have a sound I haven't quite pinned down or been able to completely compare anything to with some great harmonies and haunting vocals and a whole lot of retro keyboard. I'm stoked to see their careers blossom.

Eight Pac-12 players were named first-team preseason All-Americans by Athlon's on Monday, while 11 others were named to the other three teams.
Oregon, Stanford and USC each had a pair of first-team selections. The Ducks were represented by center Hroniss Grasu and cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu. Stanford's pair was OT Andrus Peat and kick returner Ty Montgomery, while USC was represented by WR Nelson Agholor and DT Leonard Williams.
The other two first-team selections were UCLA LB Myles Jack and Washington LB Shaq Thompson.
Oregon QB Marcus Mariota, the Pac-12's top Heisman Trophy candidate was second-team behind FSU's Jameis Winston, who won the trophy last year.
On the third team were three defenders: UCLA LB Eric Kendricks, USC LB Hayes Pullard and Washington DT Danny Shelton. Agholor also was named a punt returner, so he got two spots.
On the fourth team: Arizona State WR Jaelen Strong, Oregon State C Isaac Seumalo and USC O-lineman Max Tuerk, who was listed as a guard even though he plays center. Stanford safety Jordan Richards was fourth team with the defense, while Utah kicker Andy Phillips was a fourth-team specialist.

I'm thinking of making prosciutto with one and sous vide with the other two. I'll vac bag and marinate them over night then slow cook them with my PID controller. Question is what temp and for how long? If anyone has experience doing that I'm all ears and muchos thanxos in advance. BTW the sausage I made was excellent these were shot in the fall and breasted out. I do have a whole goose that was plucked but that is another project.

Radiator Fan Shroud at 1A Auto
What is a radiator fan shroud and where is it located?
The fan shroud helps the radiator fan cool the radiator more effectively. Basically, coolant from the radiator is pumped through the engine via the water pump, and the warm coolant then exits back into the radiator. The warm coolant is then cooled down by the air that is passed through the radiator by the radiator fan. Cooled coolant is then pumped back into the engine, and the process repeats itself.
The radiator fan shroud is a plastic piece that surrounds the radiator fan. It is partly funnel shaped. This helps it draw cool air through the radiator. It also keeps warm air from recirculating through the radiator. This helps the fan cool the radiator more effectively, which in turn keeps the engine cool and prevents overheating.
The radiator fan shroud mounts to the radiator and is secured to it by bolts. Fan shroud designs vary from one model to another. Some are one piece, while others are made of an upper and a lower piece. In many cases, the fan shroud is also what holds the radiator fan in place. For most modern cars, the fan and shroud are integrated together into one assembly (rather than being two separate parts) and are not sold separately. Trucks and large SUVs are a different story, however.
How do I know if my radiator fan shroud needs to be replaced?
Since it is exposed to extreme heat on a regular basis, radiator cooling fan shrouds can break down or overheat and melt. In some cases, they can also be damaged by the cooling fan itself. If a bearing wears out in the fan motor, it can cause the fan blade to shift and strike the shroud, causing damage to the shroud (as well as the fan blade itself).
A damaged fan shroud will hamper the efficient flow of cool air through the radiator. This can result in overheating the engine. Since driving at speed pushes some air through the radiator, a damaged fan shroud is most likely to cause overheating at low speeds or especially when the vehicle is not moving. If your vehicle's engine is overheating at low speeds, it's time to get a replacement radiator fan shroud. Also, if the shroud is damaged, the radiator could also get damaged by the fan being lose and moving out of position. In this case, a small problem that could be solved with a simple fix could become more costly if left unfixed.
Can I replace a radiator fan shroud myself?
With a bit of effort, removing a radiator fan shroud can be accomplished by a do-it-yourselfer. The difficulty and exact method of doing so will vary depending on your fan's design. First off, as with any electrical job, it is recommended to disconnect the battery prior to further work if it's an electric fan. Next, you may have to disconnect the radiator hoses in order to pull the fan shroud up and out of the engine compartment. Usually, this is not necessary but taking a look at your setup ahead of time is always a good idea just to be sure.
Since the shroud is around the fan and wedged between the engine and the radiator, you will often have to remove the fan blade or the radiator itself to make room to pull out the fan shroud after you have unbolted it from the radiator. You can remove the top fan shroud of a two piece assembly without removing the fan, but may still need to remove the fan to take out the bottom piece. Assemblies that include the fan and shroud can be pulled out as one piece once the fan wiring has been disconnected. After you install the new fan shroud (by reversing the removal procedures) and replace all the parts removed, you should run the engine to check that the fan and shroud are aligned correctly and that the fan is not striking the shroud at any point.
Need a radiator fan replacement?
The radiator fan shroud is an important component of a vehicle's engine cooling system. If it has failed, you should seek out and install a replacement fan shroud as soon as possible, or else you might turn a relatively small problem into much larger, more costly one. At 1A Auto, we carry a large selection of aftermarket radiator fan shrouds for many makes and models, and at great prices. Our replacement radiator fan shrouds are just what you need to get your cooling system back in tip-top shape once again.
At 1A Auto, we make shopping for a replacement radiator fan shroud for your vehicle easy—we're here to help you select the right part! Call our customer service toll free at 888-844-3393 if you have any questions about our cooling fan shrouds, warranty, compatibility or to purchase, or you can buy online.

WEDNESDAY, July 11, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- A startling 75 percent of black people in the United States develop high blood pressure by the age of 55, a new study finds.
That's a far higher rate than seen among either white men (55 percent) or white women (40 percent), the researchers said.
"We started to see differences between blacks and whites by age 30," said lead researcher S. Justin Thomas.
"We need to start focusing on preventing hypertension [high blood pressure], particularly in blacks, at an early age," he added.
Thomas is an assistant professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham's department of psychiatry.
It isn't known why black Americans are more prone to high blood pressure at an earlier age than white Americans, Thomas said. But he speculated that a combination of lifestyle and genetics may explain why.
Thomas said preventing high blood pressure needs to start with getting kids to develop healthy habits.
"I don't think you can start too early," he said. "It should start at elementary school. If kids are told frequently that this is important, they will adopt it."
High blood pressure can lead to serious health problems over time, the researchers noted.
Dr. Gregg Fonarow explained that high blood pressure "is a leading risk factor for heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney disease and premature cardiovascular death." He is a professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and was not involved with the new study.
Black men and women in the study had twice the risk of high blood pressure than white men and women, even after adjusting for other differences, he added.
"Prevention, awareness, treatment and control of high blood pressure is essential, as cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events, disability, hospitalizations and financial hardship," Fonarow explained.
For the study, Thomas and his colleagues collected data on nearly 3,900 young adults who were part of a heart disease risk study.
The participants were enrolled in the study when they were 18 to 30 years old, and they didn't have high blood pressure at the time.
High blood pressure is defined as a systolic pressure (the upper number) of 130 mm Hg or higher and a diastolic pressure (the lower number) of 80 mm Hg or higher.
These blood pressure benchmarks were first released in 2017, replacing the previous definition of high blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg.
This lower threshold for defining high blood pressure means even more Americans will be diagnosed with high blood pressure at younger ages, Thomas said.
Excess weight was the biggest risk factor for developing high blood pressure, regardless of sex or race, the researchers found.
Blacks and whites who kept to a DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet were able to lower their risk for high blood pressure, the study findings showed.
The DASH diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat or fat-free dairy, fish, poultry, beans, seeds and nuts, and low in red meat and salt.
Dr. Byron Lee is director of electrophysiology laboratories and clinics at the University of California, San Francisco. He said that "in many ways, 55 is the new 65. We used to not worry about hypertension until we reached our mid-60s, but it's clear now that many of us need to take action much sooner."
Lee pointed out that high blood pressure is a "modifiable risk factor for heart attack and stroke. And if we don't act on it, we are missing a major opportunity to decrease mortality."
The report was published online July 11 in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

WBU professor authors textbook companion
After 11 years of teaching at Wayland Baptist University, Dr. Niler Pyeatt should be pretty adept at writing exams for his students. But recently, a nine-month project came to fruition with the publishing of a book of exams for other students.
Pyeatt, professor of history at WBU, authored a companion to the American History textbook Created Equal which contains a test bank for teachers using the text. The book, by Longman Publishing, is designed for college-level courses.
Pyeatt said the task came at the invitation of Longman, for whom he has done pre-publication textbook reviews in the past. After receiving proofs of the textbook, written by a team of authors, he set out to write test questions. He said the project took from the end of 2001 until August 2002. A printed copy of the text bank arrived at Wayland last week.
A graduate of Eastern New Mexico University, Pyeatt also holds a master's degree and a PhD in history from Texas Tech University. He has taught American history for a total of 16 years at the college level.

March is right around the corner and that means that it�s time for National Nutrition Month, which is sponsored by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. It began as National Nutrition Week in 1973 and became National Nutrition Month in 1980.
Each year, the month is given a different theme, and this year�s theme is �Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day!� This emphasizes that good nutrition isn�t one-size-fits-all. There are definitely some general tips that can help everyone live a healthy lifestyle, but your plan for good nutrition really needs to be tailored to where you are in your life.
Let�s look at some tips to �Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day� that are based on different lifestyles:
College students
Being a college student usually means fast-paced and low-budget. It may seem impossible for students to �eat right,� especially with the often-dreaded cafeteria, but with a little planning, even the college student can eat a healthy diet. Here are a couple of tips to help the college student out:
� Snacks. When it comes to snacks, the college student should keep plenty of smart snacks around. Smart snacks combine protein and carbohydrates to fuel the brain and the body. Some good choices include: apple and peanut butter, whole wheat bread with peanut butter and a banana, whole wheat cereal with low-fat milk, and low-fat yogurt and berries.
� The cafeteria. Start with the salad bar, but steer away from the extra toppings like bacon, croutons and creamy dressings. Then for your entr�e plate, fill half your plate with fruits and veggies, one-quarter of your plate with protein, and one-quarter of your plate with your grain choice. When you sit down to eat, eat the fruits and veggies first.
For working men and women, this can often mean eating on the run. Here are a couple of tips for the professional:
� Keep your desk stocked with good snack options. Have some single-serving options stashed away in your drawer (or in your car if you travel a lot) so that you don�t have to turn to the vending machine. Some good choices include: single serving packages of cereal, granola bars, crackers, peanut butter, fruit, low-sodium soup and trail mix.
� Eating out. When you do eat out, take five minutes and check out the nutrition information ahead of time. Many restaurants are now listing their nutrition information on their websites and viewing this information can help you make better choices. If you can�t find the nutrition information (or don�t have time), read the menu carefully and select simple items that haven�t had too much done to them; generally, the more that is done to a food during cooking and preparation, the more calories that food will have.
Taking care of a family can be a handful, but family mealtime is very important, especially for young children. Family mealtime gives parents the opportunity to model good eating behaviors, and meals don�t have to be an extravagant ordeal in order to be healthy. Here are a couple of tips for families:
� Keep it simple. Find meals that are five ingredients or fewer. Keep a list of easy recipes that your family likes on hand so that you�ll have plenty of options for quick weeknight meals. Choose ingredients that can be prepped ahead of time. For example, if you�re using ground beef more than once, look at your recipes and see if you could brown all of the ground beef at one time and refrigerate some of it for the next meal.
� Get the kids involved. Have them set the table or make the salad or any other simple cooking task. Kids who help in the kitchen are more likely to try new things.
No matter what, remember that it doesn�t have to be hard to eat nutritious. If you need ideas, just ask.
Working with a dietitian (such as myself) can be a huge benefit when it comes to getting on the right path to healthy, nutritious lifestyle.
Tangy Pasta Salad
1 6-ounce box elbow macaroni (or your choice of pasta)
1 8-ounce bottle of Italian dressing
1 medium carrot, grated
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
� cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Cook noodles according to package directions, rinse under cold water and drain well.
To the pasta, add the bottle of dressing, green pepper, carrots and onion. Stir well.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese just before serving. Serve immediately or chill.
� Nutrition facts per serving: 240 calories, 16 grams total fat, 2.5 grams saturated fat, 1 gram dietary fiber, 5 grams protein, 22 grams carbohydrate, 290 milligrams sodium.

Noumea is the cosmopolitan capital of New Caledonia offering French sophistication in a picturesque island setting, surrounded by gorgeous bays and splendid beaches.
Founded by the French, Noumea sits south of New Caledonia's main Island 'Grand Terre', and is home to a vast multicultural population. Whilst the pristine beaches are a major drawcard for water sports enthusiasts, there is plenty more on offer. Food lovers can eat at stylish French restaurants hidden in the Latin Quarter, music fans can enjoy live music in the many bars and clubs, whilst the museums, theatres and art galleries keep the culture lovers happy.
Apart from the usual island classics, here are some deserving highlights:
- Visit to Tjibauo Cultural Centre Jean Nouvel building that rises from the rainforest
- Eat a traditional Bougna feast in a traditional Melanesian gite (holiday home)
- Snorkel in the emerald waters of the Îles des Pins (Isle of Pines)
- Sea kayak below the black, vertiginous limestone Lindéralique rocks
- Horse trek into the high mountains near Koné for lush vegetation and breathtaking views
- Eat lobster on the white sand beach of Oro Bay.
Surrounded by the largest enclosed lagoon in the world, there is a diverse landscape to explore across the three main islands.
Grande Terre
With Noumea as the capital, the biggest island of New Caledonia is surrounded by the world's largest coral lagoon.
The rugged central mountain range and tropical climate have resulted in extraordinary biodiversity with microclimates that allow endemic species such as the red-legged, flightless cagou to thrive.
Isle of Pines
This small island, a 30 minute flight southeast of Noumea, is named after the distinctive column pines that date from the Triassic and grow to up to 50 metres.
The ultimate eco-tourist destination with its preserved beauty, the island has a network of small trails for easy exploration of the myriad small bays and deserted white sand beaches of the emerald lagoon and for climbing Mount Nga for a panorama of the whole island.
The Loyalty Islands
The Loyalty Islands are composed of six islands, a short 45 minute domestic flight east of Noumea.
Life here is far more relaxed than in Noumea, and is predominantly Kanak (Melanesian), who make up roughly 97% of the population. The islands geology is also distinctive; Maré features former coral reefs that have become dramatic cliffs that rise from the ocean. Lifou is the largest with a rich history and lush tropical forests, dramatic caves and volcanic cliffs. The white sandy beach of the Ouvéa atoll will surprise and delight every beach lover.
West Coast
The West Coast of the main island, Grand Terre, features stunning landscapes and vibrant scenery.
The rich cultural heritage of the local Kanak (Melanesian) tribes is contrasted by the large cattle farms that stretch out into wide open spaces. Two stunning natural wonders can also be found here; the stunning mangrove feature, the Heart of Voh, and the sublime lenticular reef which is one of the most beautiful stretches of lagoon in New Caledonia.
East Coast
The central mountain range is a natural boundary overlooking the very different faces of the East and West coasts.
Prominent winds bring humidity that encourages sumptuous flora, creating a blanket of green over the mountains. The population is largely Melanesian, offering an authentic insight into village life. Scuba divers will marvel at the rich seabed featuring pygmy seahorses, orang-utan spiders, manta-rays and extraordinary varieties of coral and anemones.
Great South
The Great South is home to the biggest park in New Caledonia, the Blue River Provincial Park, which makes this the green tourism and soft adventure paradise.
The loops of Netcha offer some of the most stunning mountain biking trails in the country, while the Madeleine waterfalls feature stunning botanic trails. The most popular activity by far however is hiking – with all levels catered for. A climb up the 800 metre summit of Mont-Dore offers spectacular views and the GR1 trail offers six stages of trails that criss-cross the region.
Pacific Franc (CFP)
220V / 50 Hz
The climate is tropical with a hot and humid period from November to March with temperatures that average between 27°C and 30°C, and a cooler, drier period from June to August with temperatures between 20°C and 23°C.
From the airport
The international airport is 50 kilometres from Noumea. There are regular flights or fast passenger ferry (three times a week) from Noumea to each of the islands of the Loyalty group as well as to Île des Pins and the other key towns on Grande Terre.
In and around the city
Buses connect every town on Grande Terre with Noumea. There is also an urban bus network in Noumea along with 'Le Petit Train' which does a circuit from the city centre to Anse Vata. The local taxi service is reliable, with both car and water taxis available so you can get around town or the islets. While none of the other islands of New Caledonia have bus networks, cars and scooters are available to hire on each of the islands.

The Internet has evolved significantly since HTTP 1.1 was introduced 17 years ago. During this evolution, we've seen many enhancements to improve a user's online experience, such as the development of rich content. However, delivering these improvements came at one particular cost: performance. These evolving performance challenges were something that HTTP 1.1 was not designed to handle.
In February 2015, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), an international community of network designers, operators, vendors and researchers concerned with the evolution of Internet architecture, released a new HTTP/2 version to address those challenges and adapt to the progression that Internet content has undergone.
As HTTP/2 took a long time to arrive, many interim best practices were developed to bypass the performance bottlenecks of HTTP 1.1. However, we learned that many of those HTTP 1.1 performance-enhancing practices would actually contribute to slowing web application delivery rather than accelerating it when using the new HTTP/2 protocol. In this slideshow, Radware's Yaron Azerual takes a look at a few examples organizations should consider.

By William Matthews 03/18/2011
Thanks to increasingly sophisticated communications technology and ever-expanding interconnected data bases, even small-town police can run detailed background checks to discover criminals during routine traffic stops.
From their squad cars, officers can tap a network of government and private databases and in a matter of minutes retrieve a wealth of personal data well beyond name, address and driver status — including Social Security numbers, telephone numbers, past arrests, employment eligibility, immigration status, photos, fingerprints, tattoos, medical conditions and more.
But there's a big problem with this instant access to information: A lot of what's in the databases is wrong, says Marc Rotenberg, president of the Electronic Privacy Information Center.
In a brief filed for a case the U.S. Supreme Court will hear March 21, Rotenberg cataloged the errors he discovered in databases ranging from the FBI's National Crime Information Center to the Homeland Security Department's E-Verify system to intelligence data that commercial vendors collect and sell to federal and state agencies.
The FBI's parent organization, the Justice Department, has cautioned that some of the data that the National Crime Information Center holds is incomplete and inaccurate enough to cause users "to make an incorrect or misguided decision," including unjustified arrests, Rotenberg wrote in the brief filed with the Supreme Court on Jan. 19.
Errors in the E-Verify system are "so egregious and their effects so significant that a federal judge cited them in an opinion granting a temporary restraining order against the Department of Homeland Security," Rotenberg said.
Commercial databases are no better. A check of one man's ChoicePoint record disclosed that the intelligence-collecting firm listed him variously as being a female prostitute in Florida, a prison inmate in Texas, a dealer of stolen goods in New Mexico, a witness tamperer in Oregon, and a sex offender in Nevada.
He was none of those, Rotenberg said, but federal and state law enforcement agencies routinely use error-plagued databases that ChoicePoint and other data brokers compile.
Rotenberg hopes to convince the Supreme Court to overturn the conviction of Jose Tolentino, who was stopped by police at 7:40 p.m. on New Year's Day 2005 for playing music too loudly as he drove down a street in New York City.
A police computer check of motor vehicle records disclosed that Tolentino's driver's license had been suspended at least 10 times, and was suspended at the time he was stopped, so he was arrested.
Tolentino's lawyers argued that Tolentino was stopped despite violating no traffic laws or noise ordinances, therefore the search of his motor vehicle records was illegal.
The Supreme Court is interested because the traffic stop has become a Fourth Amendment case. The amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and it requires law enforcement authorities to show that they have probable cause before conducting a search.
Rotenberg said communications technology and databases have made unreasonable searches far too easy for police.
In his brief, he argued, "Government databases give police officers access to an extraordinary range of detailed personal information. No longer does the stop of a vehicle provide access to simple information about the status of the car.
"Given a few minutes, police officers can search from their squad cars an increasingly sophisticated network of government data systems and obtain personal information once scattered across municipal, state and federal criminal databases that would never have been available in the context of a routine car stop."
Due to the power of technology, he says, the courts must step in to protect the right to privacy. He quoted Associate Justice Samuel Alito as writing: "We sense a great threat to privacy in modern America; we all believe that privacy is too often sacrificed to other values; we all believe that the threat to privacy is steadily and rapidly mounting; we all believe that action must be taken on many fronts now to preserve privacy."
That was 1971, when Alito was a student at Princeton University, before police could tap vast databases from their squad cars, search through 70 million fingerprints in a matter of minutes, and comb files of digital photos, immigration records, watch lists and commercial intelligence files.
With so much information so readily available, "the risk is real that car stops will increasingly become pretextual because of the opportunity to search a government database for data unrelated to the reason that gave rise to the original stop," Rotenberg wrote.
As for Tolentino, he was charged with first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, and he pleaded guilty in exchange for a sentence of five years' probation.
Later, however, he appealed, arguing that the police stop and the search of his driving record were illegal. When the New York Court of Appeals disagreed, Tolentino took his case to the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed last November to hear it.

Atlanta is a major cable television programming center and a hub for students interested in careers in Broadcast Journalism. Ted Turner began the Turner Broadcasting System, now merged with Time Warner media empire in Atlanta, where he bought a UHF station that eventually became TBS. Turner established the headquarters of the Cable News Network at CNN Center which later grew into other channels– the Cartoon Network, Boomerang, TNT, Turner South, Turner Classic Movies, CNN International, CNN en Español, CNN Headline News, and CNN Airport Network. The world's first dedicated 24-hour news channels were BBC World News and CNN.
In 2008, Atlanta became the eighth largest media market in the United States, with more than 2,387,520 households in its metropolitan area. Notable television stations in the greater Atlanta area include Cox Enterprises-owned ABC affiliate (and the city's first TV station) WSB-TV (Channel 2.1), Fox Television's WAGA-TV (Channel 5.1), Gannett Company's NBC affiliate WXIA-TV (Channel 11.1, also known as "11 Alive") and its sister station MyNetworkTV affiliate WATL-TV (Channel 36.1, known as MyAtlTV), the Meredith Corporation's CBS affiliate WGCL-TV (Channel 46.1), and CBS-owned CW station WUPA (Channel 69.1).
Training & Careers
Occupations at large broadcast stations and networks fall into five general categories: Program production, news related, and technical, all of which in turn fall under professional and related, sales, and management occupations. Although on-camera or on-air positions are the most familiar occupations in broadcasting, the majority of employment opportunities are behind the scenes and include:
- Producers
- Video Editors
- Program Directors
- Reporters
- Broadcast News Analysts
- News Anchors
- Weathercasters
- Assignment Editors
- Camera Operators
- Master Control Engineers
- Technical Directors

Devastating Earthquake on the Border of Iran and Iraq Kills over 500 People!published on Tuesday, November 14, 2017
Iran's western province of Kermanshah suffered the most, where hundreds of victims were killed and thousands more injured and left homeless.
Kermanshah is a rural mountainous and impoverished region with a large Kurdish population, and a high unemployment rate. Perhaps this is not surprising given Islamic Regime's animosity towards the Kurds in Iran.
The Kurdish population in Iran has always been a vocal and active voice against the Regime in Iran, and has faced the consequences of systematic persecution over the last 37 years. The tragic news of the earthquake in the region of Kermanshah has been devastating for millions of Iranians both inside and outside of Iran. Knowing that hundreds of people have lost their lives and so many more are injured and homeless in the middle of winter is completely heartbreaking.
What is even more tragic is the fact that given the Regime's corruption and lack of concern for its citizens it's almost impossible to find reliable organizations to make donations for the victims of this tragedy. I think it also goes without saying that the Regime will NOT go out of its way to help the Kurds.
Further alarming news from Sarpol-e Zahab, a city that was devastated by the earthquake states that homes that were built by the government were destroyed during the quake while homes that were privately built were much less damaged.
I am not surprised by this news. The corrupt Regime in Iran has no care or concern for its citizens and it's not surprising that the government and its corrupt officials would cut corners and risk the lives of less fortunate people in order to pad their own greedy pockets.
My thoughts are with the victims of this earthquake and hope they will be able to receive the help they need.

Ready for spring...
Hello March 1st! I would like to think that it signals the onset of spring, but we are getting more snow even now as I write this blog post. We had a couple of inches over night last night, so between the accumulation of new snow and the cold temperature {today was right around 20 degrees here in west Michigan} it doesn't seem all that hopeful for an early spring. But they do say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, so we are perfectly on course to do that!
March 1st also brings the opportunity for anyone who wants to get a Cocoa Daisy kit, add-ons or Day In The Life kit the chance to do so. This month's Grey Street kit has been a big hit with the subscribers and we as a design team all loved it too! The greens, gray and splashes of other colors make it fun and definitely get you wanting spring even more so!
I loved scrapping the page about Teagan's rainboots and the sweet memories they bring to my mind- even all these years later. March is Teagan's birthday month and so those memories are even more vivid as we prepare to mark another birthday without her here on earth with us- but never far from our hearts and minds! She will always be such a colorful, cherished part of my memories and I am glad that her stories can still find their way onto my scrap pages.
I loved scrapping Teague's newborn baby picture too. There is something so amazing wrapped up in the hopes and dreams of a new baby. Teague is quite a handful now, than he was all tiny and sleeping in that photo, but I still have huge dreams and hopes for all of my kids! I am sure that never changes- even as they grow and change themselves. Here's to a bright future, a new beginning with the onset of spring...and hopefully sunshine to start melting all the snow!

I enjoyed watching them too, it brings me back to the time I saw them there. Unfortunately, they cut me out completely!
1 day ago, KenshinAsuka says: Sir, I have a question here. Well, I just knew that my Vietnamese friends saw almost nothing about the third leg since it was the Vietnamese cable operator that censored almost everything just because the third leg happened to feature something negative about Vietnam and probably the leg itself so did you and the rest of the production crew speak to the Vietnamese government before filming everything there?
Dear friends!Well, my amazing race journey has come to an end. And I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you some of the reality that has actually happened in the 3 episodes, as well as my thoughts and feelings. I tried to chat to a few of you last Friday (26 Sept) but there were some problems with the chat engine, so I couldn't say everything I wanted to.When Pailin and I signed up for this race, as with thousands of other applicants, our intention was to win. It wasn't at all for the prize money or fame. Besides a personal challenge, we both wanted to do something extraordinary. And extraordinary it was - for a multitude of reasons.Perhaps what I have learned most, is that friendship is not to be taken for granted. Friendship is based upon two people respecting, supporting and trusting each other. I felt that during the race our friendship was tested. And I know from other friends who have been put in similar situations, that friendships become stronger in the long run after a stressful period.What I'd really like to do in this blog, is try and explain to my friends and everyone who watched us on the Amazing Race Asia, my side of the story, which you didn't see. I will be completely open and honest with my thoughts, in that like every other human being I have said or done things in the heat of the moment that I have regretted.So here goes...From the beginning of the race, both Pailin and I were completely pumped up for the race, ready to take on any challenge that faced us. Before the race, we sat down together to watch previous seasons of the show to get ourselves ready and mentally prepared. When the race started, we set off with really high expectations of our team. We ate the bugs (and no, they dont taste like chicken!), cleaned a huge bus and generally did a great job in the first leg. It was a huge surprise to us how tough this turned out to be. I really would've never guessed, and I do feel that I have hugely underestimated the toughness of this season. Nevertheless, we did come in 4th place and were both very pleased with that. Lesson learned? Don't wear make-up when washing buses At the start of the second leg, after a much needed shower and rest time, we set off again in really high spirits. We did the Flight of the Gibbons, which was very cool, and the first road block, where Pailin really proved to be "steady under fire" . Then we were off to the airport, at which point luck was not on our side. Sadly, we had to spend the night at Suvarnabumi airport in Bangkok, which happened to be literally 10 minutes away from my house. I knew that my husband of 6 months was within minutes of me, and I couldn't see or talk to him. At the same time I knew that others had a head start on us, through no fault of our own, and that made us both upset and frustrated. On top of all of that, I had a medical condition that made it all that much harder to bear sleeping on a cold airport floor. Believe me when I say, I had no issue sleeping at the airport or even the street for that matter. Ironically just a few months before this, I had to sleep at the Ho Chi Minh city airport because of a missed connection. So to everyone who thought I was crying because I didn't have a fluffy bed, it was not the reason.Now I really need to address the comment that I made (and now wish I hadn't) but it was completely out of context to reality. Let me explain please. It was the now-infamous line "I feel like being dirty is the lowest form of human existence." What I was referring to, was myself in that moment in time. We hadn't showered or even brushed our teeth for more than 30 hours, and in all honesty I was feeling grubby and disgusting. However, I understand that some people might have misunderstood me, for which I'm sorry.We concluded this leg in 7th position and were relieved to find out we were still in the race!The start of episode 3 saw all of us embark on a jaw-rattling, bone-shaking, excruciating 25-hour bus ride to Hue. As much as Pailin and I tried to sleep it was nearly impossible. And I think both of us collectively slept less than an hour on that trip. So you can imagine getting out of the bus at the end of the journey, and facing a challenge in a 35 degree C heat.At this point, what you would have seen on TV was Pailin changing the wheels, and I wish they had shown me, under the jeep changing the oil, and getting splattered with it. Pailin and I worked equally hard on changing the wheels and the oil.The impression given was that this was a turning point in our relationship between Pailin and me. I need to say, it wasn't, and we were perfectly OK heading to our next challenge.Then we came to the next road block, which I volunteered to do, given that Pailin did the last one. As was evidenced in the airing of episode 3, it was an extremely difficult challenge. I wasnt the only one who was having problems anyone who watched the show would have seen that.It was easily over 40 degrees by that time, and I had been in the sun for more than 2 hours, going back and forth between the park and the tomb to get the correct sequence of the coins. I had to put on a sweater since I burn easily in the sun, and I felt that I was very close to a heat exhaustion and serious dehydration. I also knew that poor Pailin was waiting for more than 2 hours for me to finish and was also very tired. At that point I already knew that we were the last team, so I had to make a conscious decision. One was to persevere and risk spending more precious time getting it right and for sure coming in last, or taking a hit on a 4 hour penalty, but giving us the opportunity not to come in last. And I feel absolutely certain that had I continued with the challenge, I would have passed out and probably needed immediate medical assistance. Believe me, I felt that bad!This decision about not completing the challenge was taken with the best intentions to give Pailin and I a chance to continue to the next round. It had nothing to do with being selfish, as some have alluded to.I do, however, feel that I have let Pailin down, and I wish I could have been stronger for her on that challenge.So this was the end of the road on the race for us.Can I also add that every single one of those competitors that you've seen in series 3 of the Amazing Race Asia, are wonderful, down-to-earth people. But unfortunately, you the viewer didnt get to see behind the scenes, so you didnt get the same opportunity to meet and know them like I did. And Im kind of sad to see so many negative comments about my fellow racers. We all entertained you in one shape or another be happy with that All in all, this was an incredible privilege to have met so many wonderful people - competitors, locals, and the production team. It's been a humbling experience.All my love,Nataliehttp://amazingraceasia.spaces.live.com/

Shortly after the merger, Sears Holdings announced mass layoffs at its Hoffman Estates headquarters and reported a quarterly earnings loss, echoing the financial struggles that plagued both Kmart and Sears before they combined. Layoffs and losses would set much of the tone for the company in the years to come. Since 2010, Sears Holdings has closed more than 300 stores, including one on Chicago's downtown State Street. It has also spun off assets such as Lands' End while overall sales continued to decline. In May 2014, Sears Holdings said it was looking at selling its 51 percent stake in Sears Canada. Meanwhile, CEO Eddie Lampert, Kmart's former chairman, sees hope for the company through its Shop Your Way membership rewards program, which can be used online. Even so, some analysts say Sears Holdings' most valuable asset is its real estate.

Sex is rampant in Olympic Village ... everyone knows this ... and officials have taken steps to make sure the athletes stay safe in the bedroom by passing out 100,000 condoms, TMZ Sports has learned.
A rep for the International Olympic Committee tells us ... "The distribution of condoms in the village is part of the IOC's involvement in the HIV and AIDS prevention."
The 100,000 condoms will cover roughly 7,650 athletes who are competing (and banging each other) over a 16-day span.
Just a few years ago, former Olympic competitor Ronda Rousey told us the village is pure "debauchery" ... with hot people fueled on adrenaline and free booze having the time of their lives.
Makes ya wanna book a trip to Sochi, right?

I would like some help with a code change that I would like to submit. Right now, article 410.36(G)(1) does not require a luminaire disconnect for led lights that utilize a driver. I would like to amend that section to include a requirement for a disconnect for luminaires that utilize aled driver. I will include the changes in bold.
410.36(G)(1) General. In indoor locations other than dwellings and associated structures, fluorescent or led luminaires that utilize double-ended lamps an contain ballast(s) or driver(s) that can be serviced in place shall have a disconnecting means either internal or external to each luminaire. For existing installed luminaires without disconnecting means, at the time a ballast or driver is replaced, a disconnecting means shall be installed. The line side shall be guarded.
The double-ended bulb part. Does that need to be reworded as well?
The problem this will solve. This change will address the lack of required disconnect for led luminaires that use a driver.
What do you think?

SESSION ONE: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 – 3:30pm – 5:00pm
Harmful Algal Blooms: Prevention, Prediction, Management, and Control
Don Anderson is a Senior Scientist in the Biology Department of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. He earned three degrees from MIT – a BS in Mechanical Engineering in 1970, and a MS (1975) and PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering in 1977. He joined the scientific staff at WHOI in 1978. In 1993, he was awarded the Stanley W. Watson Chair for Excellence in Oceanography, in 1999 was named a NOAA Environmental Hero, and in 2006 received the Yasumoto Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Society for the Study of Harmful Algae (ISSHA). Anderson is the former director of WHOI's Coastal Ocean Institute (COI), and presently serves as Director of the NOAA Cooperative Institute for North Atlantic Research (CINAR). Anderson also serves as Director of the U.S. National Office for Harmful Algal Blooms. Anderson's research focus is on toxic or harmful algal blooms (HABs), commonly called "red tides", utilizing approaches ranging from molecular and cellular studies of toxin genetics and regulation to the large-scale oceanography and ecology of the "blooms" of these microorganisms. He is also heavily involved in national and international program development for research, monitoring, and training on red tides, marine biotoxins, and harmful algal blooms (HABs). Anderson is the author, co-author, or editor of over 250 scientific papers and 14 books.
Kevin G. Sellner serves as Executive Director of the Chesapeake Research Consortium. His primary role in this position is to encourage active research programs across the six Consortium member institutions (www.chesapeake.org) and their extended partners from agencies, other institutions, and NGOs in the Chesapeake watershed focusing on fundamental basic and applied air, land, and water-related research to inform science-based management in the region. He strives to insure that the Consortium is considered a source of unbiased scientific information for most groups, organizations, and agencies across the basin, providing topic-specific workshops, conferences, fora, and reviews on critical regional issues. As part of that role, Sellner serves as the Executive Secretary of the Chesapeake Bay Program's Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee, member of the MD Harmful Algal Task Force, and organizer of the Chesapeake Community Modeling Program. Sellner is also a plankton ecologist active for the past 30+ years, with a primary focus on harmful algal blooms (HAB), examining fate and impacts of cyanobacteria and dinoflagellate bloom production in regional systems as well as waters of the Baltic and Peru. He has served on the National Harmful Algal Bloom Committee (NHC), was the initial program officer for the Federal interagency research program ECOHAB (Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms), co-written several national HAB reports, and has briefed Congress members and staff on these problem taxa several times in the past decade, and has served as an Associate Editor for several oceanographic and watershed management, journals. He also leads a graduate seminar HAB course in the UMD Marine Estuarine Environmental Science program. He mentored and Honors undergraduate research team from the UMD GEMSTONE Program that has yielded a field mitigation technology for reducing algal blooms in the natural environment which has now been expanded into a NOAA-funded 3-yr research program; the goal of the project is to develop an inexpensive state-administered mitigation technique for routine use in MD and other coastal areas to remove these blooms and reduce citizen and animal exposures to these toxic algal accumulations.
Gail Hesse is the Executive Director of the Ohio Lake Erie Commission, a consortium of six state agencies established for the purpose of preserving Lake Erie's natural resources, protecting the quality of its waters and ecosystem and promoting economic development in the region. Prior to her appointment to the Commission, Gail was with Ohio EPA and responsible for administering Ohio EPA's Lake Erie restoration and protection and inland lakes programs. She serves as chair for the Ohio Lake Erie Phosphorus Task Force, a multi-stakeholder effort that analyzes the causes and issues related to algal blooms in Lake Erie. She also served as administrator of the Ohio Water Resources Council, a consortium of state agencies and commissions established to promote collaboration on water policy and program development.
She has a master's degree in environmental studies and a bachelor's degree in geography both from Ohio University. She is also a graduate of the Ohio Certified Public Manager program, a nationally accredited two year leadership development program for management in the public sector. Gail is a former president of Hostelling International-USA, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to cultural understanding through travel. She also served eight years as an internationally elected board of trustee member for the International Youth Hostel Federation.
Dan L. Ayres is a Shellfish Biologist who leads the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's coastal shellfish unit based in Montesano and Willapa Bay. He manages Washington's very popular razor clam fishery and oversees the unit's work managing the coastal Dungeness crab, pink shrimp and spot prawn fisheries, the Willapa Bay oyster reserves and research projects in Willapa Bay.
These fisheries are the backbone of the economies of the small coastal communities that are found on Washington State's outer coast. The coastal commercial Dungeness crab fishery is the largest commercial fishery in the state with seasonal ex-vessel values that exceed $50 million. The recreational razor clam fishery can seasonally draw up to 350,000 diggers, who spend an estimated $33 million in tourist-related income. Pristine Willapa Bay, located on the south Washington coast, produces 10 percent of the nation's oysters. All of these fisheries have either been threatened by or directly affected by harmful algal blooms. As a result, Dan has worked closely with other state and federal agencies on harmful algal bloom issues since the marine toxin domoic acid was first found along the Washington Coast in 1991. He just completed two terms on the National Harmful Algal Bloom Committee. He has represented WDFW in testimony on this topic at both the Washington State Legislature and the U.S. Congress. He has collaborated on several national HAB plans including the Harmful Algal Research and Response: A National Environmental Science Strategy. He also worked to organize the recently held West Coast HAB Summit (2009) and is co-chair of the team working to developing a West Coast HAB Monitoring Network plan.
Dan was born and raised on the Washington coast and was first introduced to razor clam digging by his parents at a very young age. He is a graduate the University of Washington. Dan first met his wife Gail when she was a news reporter assigned to do a story on the razor clam fishery. They live in Montesano with their two daughters aged 11 and 13.
Alina Corcoran is a phytoplankton ecologist who directs the Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) Program of the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI), the research arm of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Under Corcoran's oversight, the HAB program has expanded its focus from the red tide organism, Karenia brevis, to entire phytoplankton communities in the coastal waters of southwest Florida. She has also set up a long-term phytoplankton monitoring program in Pinellas County, which serves as a pilot study for other monitoring stations throughout the state.
Corcoran's research interests are extremely diverse, but there is a common thread that connects her projects – clear applications to ecosystem management and sustainability. As a graduate student, Corcoran studied the effects of stormwater runoff and wastewater discharge on phytoplankton in the Southern California Bight. As a postdoctoral researcher, she used ecological principles to engineer stable and productive biofuel systems in the deserts of New Mexico. Corcoran is currently investigating the effects of nutrient limitation on toxicity of the red tide organism, Karenia brevis.
Corcoran earned a B.A. in Biology at Boston University, M.S. in Marine Science at the University of Alabama, and Ph.D. in Biology at the University of California Los Angeles. She joined FWRI in June 2011.

I am a descendant of the Porters of Campbeltown (Crossibeg) dating back to the early 17 hundreds. Even though I live in the US, I am very proud of my heritage and am looking for a way to participate long distance in following the successes of professional soccer in Scotland and Europe. I would like to be able to root for whatever professional soccer team that the majority of the sports fans in Campbeltown root for. Would you please let me know the popular team in your area?
Thank you,

After selling new homes in suburbs such as Palmdale, sale rep Jim Mahboubian this week began the task of selling 36 condos in Echo Park near the center of Los Angeles. While the first model home for the 36 on Echo project won't be finished until next month, that has not stopped Mahboubian, who works for developer D.R. Horton, from setting up an Echo Park "Sales Center," which in this case consists of a green canopy – decorated with red and blue balloons – that was plopped at an entrance to the dusty construction site. Mahboubian concedes he has not had much time to prepare; even the "Sales Center" sign is a leftover from a Palmdale subdivision. But Mahboubian, who was handing out brochures from the trunk of his car earlier today, said he has kept busy answering questions from potential buyers and neighbors, some of whom expressed concern about street parking becoming even harder to find near Echo Park and Delta avenues.
"They are really upset," Mahboubian said. But he said he has told neighbors to "relax," explaining that each unit comes with a two-car garage.
Sales have not officially begun for the three-level condos, which are expected to be priced from the mid $400,000 to the mid $500,000 range. But Mahboubian was taking names for an interest list – which had grown to about 80 people – and had given an informal tour of the site to potential buyers. At least two had gone to the trouble of getting pre-qualified for a home loan, Mahboubian said. The first homes are expected to be finished in August.
