|The "Standard of Care" for ems is hospital care for anyone that has a 'near drowning' experience. Many people think the patient is OK if they're able to walk and that they just had a 'close call'. But a real Doc needs to auscultate lung sounds and follow up treatment.
While a phone call is in order, as is discussing a possible hospital visit, from what I've seen, if they're throwing up, it is usually because they swallowed the water, not that it got in the lungs. Better safe than sorry though.

|When I was in high school a good friend of mine had a problem something like this he went scuba diving and inhaled so much water that he was very ill for a couple of days. The doctor would not let him lay down for about 36 hours. This was a hundred years ago so I'm sure the treatment would be different today. But we all thought he might die for the first day. His lips were blue and he had great difficulty breathing.

Tragic story...and I had never heard of this fanomania befor..What a heart wrencher.
|The rarity of this sort of thing is due to the causative factor, the initial damage done by the water intrusion. The fluid buildup, also called pulmonary edema, is commonly seen in medical conditions commonly referred to in association with heart failure. It also is seen in renal patients that are in fluid overload. The fluid has to go somewhere, and depending on their overall status, it may not move into the "thirdspaces" mostly in the extremeties. When it cannot move out of the cardiovascular space, it backs into the lungs. People with weakened hearts depend on diuretics to help remove excess fluid, because the cardiac output is insufficient to properly perfuse the kidneys. Being that heart disease is such a major health issue, dry drowning (due to pulmonary edema brought on by heart failure) is a common form of death. It, however, is not called this, probably since there is no initial physical drowning in the traditional sense....aaaaand it's not a very medical-sounding term.
This is a very sad story. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
A bit of trivia about secondary drowning though. If any of you have ever seen the movie "The Abyss" you might know about the US Navy's Liquid breathing apparatus. This was real technology that worked in experiments but had to be abandoned because subjects experienced secondary drowning as a result of the oxygenated solution washing the surfacant out of the lungs.
A very sad story. I feel so sorry for the mother.
I have always be under the impression that if one had water in their lungs, they would be coughing themselves silly until it was gone.
Learn something everyday.
This tragic event is one that most coastal residents here in Florida are thankfully aware of. We have more than a few near drownings because of the severe undertow in the surf. Most of the popular beaches have lifeguards and they are trained to know the differences between someone just swallowing water and one that has ingested water into the lungs. The ingestion cases are always referred to the hospital.
I'm so glad the media has covered this story as much as it has, we all need to be aware of the dangers of water ingestion. Condolences to the family.
|Thanks Sailaway. I was completely unaware of this variation on the traditional understanding of drowning.
Oh Gawd. Terrible news.
And I always loved the way salt water felt on my skin after coming out of it. Granted, I have not inhaled enough to do me in yet.
I can wait for the government/CDC's response to this calamity though. Next thing you know survival suits will be required for kids to go swimming anywhere.
I used to ride a bike without a helmet when I was a kid, and walk/ride to school. I feel bad for youngsters these days who are not allowed to do anything for themselves anymore and I can wait a long time for the legislation to come out requiring survival suits for kids swimming in pools. Skinny-dipping is next on the agenda for outlawed behavior.
It is a sad story and I am afraid where it will lead. We all took our chances (most long enough ago that our activities were not illegal, or that illegal) and are still here and able to type at least. I am just a bit scared about where our republic/oligarchy is headed. Sways signature rings true in this case IMHO.
Liberalism: the haunting fear that, somewhere, somehow, someone can help themselves.

text: Unpacked my TiVo Mini earlier today and was surprised to see the Mini remote "scratched" up. I don't know how many TiVo remotes I've had over the years, but I currently have 4 or 5 and none are marked like this. I assume it's a manufacturing defect of some sort as each button opening has one or more lines associated with it. I can't actually feel the scratch/mark so wonder if it's under a gloss finish or something? Not a deal breaker and nothing I would even notice in day to day usage, but it seems like each successive remote since the original Glo is cheaper than the last.

The Tallmadge Lions Club raised more than $4,000 at its second Celebrity Chefs Gala Feb. 1 at Roses Run in Stow.
Last year's inaugural event brought in more than $3,000 to contribute to Lions Club projects.
"It may have been damp and chilly outside, but it was warm and inviting inside as 15 local celebrities prepared and served some of their specialties to a hungry and appreciative crowd," said Tallmadge Lions Club President the Rev. Timothy Ream, who served as emcee again for this year's event and competition.
This year's winner, Carol Martin of Carol Martin Salon Spa, served up a Mashed Potato Bar.
Ream said the voting was tough for those in attendance, who selected their favorite chef by placing a paper ballot in a chef's hat placed by each serving station.
Chef Martin beat out Mayor Dave Kline's Ham and Cheese Sliders; Tallmadge City Council member Kim Ray's Hobo Supper with Cornbread; Dr. David Elliott's Antelope Stew; Tallmadge Postmaster Martha Dalton's Assorted Salads; Larry Bagnoli of Donovan Bagnoli Funeral Home's Italian Sausage Sandwiches; Autumn Johnson "The Pierogi Lady's" Pierogies; Summit County Council member Jerry Feeman's Pulled Pork Sandwiches; Tallmadge High School Assistant Principal Mike Householder's Chicken Marsala; City Law Director Megan Raber's Tropical Shrimp Bites; Dr. Gerald Sisko's Green Chili; Greg Stricker of Cupcake Binge's Mini Gourmet Cupcakes; Tallmadge City School Superintendent Jeff Ferguson's Just Chili; and Our Daily Bread's Susan Littell and Ron Hart's Butter Bit Biscuits and Assorted Brownies.
In addition to the tempting entrees, salads and desserts, guests enjoyed 16 wine raffles and the opportunity to bid on more than 60 gift baskets and certificates during the silent auction. According to Lions committee members Stephanie Hixon, Pam Ream and Paula Victor, "The amount of support, and the variety and value of the donated gifts we received was a little overwhelming. We really don't know how to say thank you enough!"
According to Ream, the successful evening will allow Tallmadge Lions to expand their services.
Simply put, said Ream, "When it comes to meeting challenges, our response is simple: We serve."
Tallmadge Lions provide free early childhood eye and vision screenings locally by partnering with the Greater Akron Lions Eye Care Program; regionally by partnering with the St. Vincent Charity Hospital Eye Clinic; and globally, in 207 countries performing volunteer work, helping, leading, planning and supporting hospitals and senior centers in regions battered by natural disaster and in schools and eyeglass recycling centers.
"Because we're local, we can serve the unique needs of the communities we live in. And because we're global, we can address challenges that go beyond borders," added Ream.
There are many ways to get involved when someone joins the Lions, including community projects, group volunteer opportunities, becoming a host family, community disaster preparedness, diabetes awareness and global health programs.
To get involved with the Tallmadge Lions Club, make a reservation to attend a meeting (February's are on the 12 and 26) at 6:30 p.m. at Lions Hall inside Lion's Park off of Northeast Avenue by calling 330-285-8066, or visit the Club's website at http://e-clubhouse.org/sites/tallmadgeoh/.


text: RXi Pharmaceuticals Corporation (Nasdaq: RXII), a recognized leader in RNAi-based therapeutic discovery and development, and Apthera, Inc., a private biotechnology company developing a pipeline of peptide-based immunotherapies for the adjuvant treatment of HER2-positive breast and other cancers, announced today the signing of a definitive merger agreement under which RXi will acquire Apthera. The acquisition provides RXi with a late stage product candidate, NeuVax™, a peptide-based immunotherapy for low-to-intermediate HER2+ breast cancer, not eligible for Herceptin®, which is expected to enter Phase III clinical trials in the first half of 2012. The Company's first RNAi product, RXI-109 for anti-scarring, remains on track for an investigational new drug (IND) application filing this year. Under the terms of the agreement, Apthera shareholders will initially receive approximately 4.8 million shares of RXi's common stock. Apthera's stockholders will also be entitled to contingent payments based on the achievement of certain development and commercial milestones relating to Apthera's NeuVax ™ product candidate. In connection with the acquisition, Mark J. Ahn, PhD, currently a member of RXi's Board of Directors, will succeed Noah D. Beerman as President and Chief Executive Officer of RXi and will lead the combined company, which will operate out of RXi's current headquarters. "Mark Ahn brings significant experience and leadership in developing and commercializing major oncology and immunology therapeutics," said Sanford Hillsberg, RXi's Chairman of the Board. "We want to thank Noah Beerman for his excellent service as RXi's President and Chief Executive Officer during our transition from a research to a product oriented company. We are delighted that Noah will be assisting us in the coming months as a consultant to the Company and wish him well in his future endeavors." Dr. Ahn, 48, has over 20 years of experience in the biopharmaceutical industry. He most recently served as Principal at Pukana Partners, Ltd., which provides strategic consulting to life science companies; and academic positions at the Atkinson Graduate School of Management, Willamette University and Chair, Science & Technology Management, Victoria University at Wellington, New Zealand. Dr. Ahn was also the founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Hana Biosciences. Prior to Hana, he served as Vice President, Hematology and corporate officer at Genentech, Inc., as well as having held senior corporate positions at Amgen and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. Dr. Ahn has also served on multiple public and venture capital-backed boards of directors.

With Latest Test Scores, Bloomberg Sees 'Very Positive' Progress
On a warm day in June 2002, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg stood in a Harlem schoolyard and announced that he had won something previous mayors had only dreamed about: full control over the city's public schools. Mr. Bloomberg had persuaded Albany lawmakers -- frustrated by dismal academic performance and community school board scandals -- to allow him to pick the chancellor and run the schools, as he would any other city agency.
But while Mr. Bloomberg continues to say that his stewardship of the schools has led to improvements in student achievement, the latest results of state proficiency tests are further indication that the change he has been hoping for has largely been incremental, rather than transformational.
City students continue to lag in performance behind the statewide average, with 47 percent of third through eighth graders proficient on their English language arts exams this year, compared with 59.5 percent in the rest of the state.
Yes, that figure is 3 percentage points higher than last year, and the rest of the state went up by only 1.9 percentage points. Yet less than half of the students who had been tested can read, write and answer questions on a level appropriate for their grade.
Still, Mr. Bloomberg saw it as "very positive" progress.
"Virtually every single grade, three through eight, virtually every single ethnicity or special group, showed improvements this year," he said at a news conference at the Tweed Courthouse, the Education Department's headquarters. "If this doesn't put a smile on everybody's face, I don't know what on earth you can do. This is the future of our children and of our state and our city and country."
In previous years, the mayor has been joined at news conferences trumpeting gains in student achievement by the union leaders representing city teachers and principals. Sometimes the announcement has been made at a public school.
But the mayor has a frosty relationship with both unions now, as they feud in court over his plan to remove thousands of staff members from 24 struggling schools and remain deadlocked over the implementation of a new teacher evaluation system. On Tuesday, the mayor was surrounded only by Chancellor Dennis M. Walcott and the city's chief academic officer, Shael Polakow-Suransky, whom the mayor jokingly described as "African-American" because he was born in South Africa.
After 10 years of taking questions on educational matters, the mayor has become more comfortable with the subject, leaning much less than in the past on the chancellor and other officials.
When asked about the one group of students that lost ground in achievement -- English language learners -- he explained that this group was actually getting smaller, as more students become proficient. "So it's not like you're comparing the same students every year," he said, adding that students are also coming from different countries now.
The results show that one group of schools, charters, which are privately managed but publicly financed, have flourished under his watch and continue to perform better than the regular public schools on the state's English and math exams. In math, 72 percent of New York City charter students were proficient this year in grades three through eight, compared with 67.4 percent for the rest of the state and 60 percent for the city's regular public schools.
But Mr. Bloomberg treated the news like a parent who doesn't want to admit to having a favorite child.
Asked if the charters were encouraging traditional schools to improve by creating competition -- a premise underlying his support for them -- the mayor responded: "The other schools are doing better as well. I don't know if it's because of competition. Common sense says it should be because of the competition."
Mr. Bloomberg was clear about one thing:
"There is a difference between charter schools and noncharter schools, or traditional schools as we call them," he explained. "And we would argue that those differences favor the outcomes in charter schools because they are better able to tailor the product that they deliver to the needs of their customers, if you will. Namely, their teaching gets better or more appropriate for the students that they have. We are the biggest believers in charter schools. I think they demonstrate again and again and again that that model delivers superior results."
The mayor was asked what improvements he envisioned 10 years ago, when he first took over the schools.
"I guess if you ask me to dream it would have been that everybody's ready for Harvard, Yale or Princeton when they got out of high school," he said. "I don't think that's realistic. But it's like crime -- how low would you wish crime go? You hope it goes to zero."
He went on, "There's always going to be a bottom 20 percent. And one of the big problems in education in this country is the demands in society for a better education are going up at a phenomenally rapid rate. Much more so than the improvements in the country, and I fear even more than the improvements in New York, which is doing much better than the country.
"We are the poster child for improving," he said. "But the skills you need in society for jobs keep going up."

Man, it's gpoing to be tough to top that first one.
Oh boy, do I have an e21 story for you all.
My best friend was looking for a car, and it turns out his family friend had "some BMW" sitting in his apartment building's parking garage, it was his, but he hadn't driven it in about 10 years, he just kept paying the parking for it, so he gave it to my friend before we even knew what it was.
We went to check out the car and it was a MIIIIIIINT condition alpine white e21 with a blue interior, completely flawless, not a single dent, no evidence of rust, no fading paint, no tearing or sagging in the seats, no wear in the carpet, no sagging door cards, it was a little dusty, and the tires were flat, but other than that, there was literally no flaw with the car cosmetically speaking. To sweeten the deal, it only had 60k miles on it, and came with the original tool kit, all the tools, and all originals manuals and parts catalogs... All for the very reasonable price of exactly $0.
We were stoked. But as we walked up to the car, a rat the size of a horse comes galloping out from under the car (this was no scurry, this was a ****ing gallop, this thing was biblically huge), we figured that couldn't be a good sign, so we looked it over... We opened up the hood, and it was immaculate, the shock towers were just as clean as the outside of the car, the engine looked nearly brand new... Well... Except for the rat's nest on the intake manifold made out of old chicken wings and bread...
So I puked, we towed it home, let it sit for a few days cause we were too terrified to touch it, in case any more horse-rats were living in it. But then we washed it, got gas masks and gloves, and spent 3 days cleaning the engine bay.
We got it running, but never all that well, the rats had gotten to bits of the wiring harness, and it wouldn't have taken forever to solve all the tiny little problems... It had so much potential though.

- When I want to step out of my box and try something new, Francesca showed me how to part my hair into sections and combine an equal mix of Natural Curl Enhancing Mousse and Natural Twist & Set Setting Lotion in my hands. After emulsifying the products in my hands, she instructed me to apply it evenly, section by section and then working my curls into two strand twists (using bigger sections for looser curls waves and smaller sections for tighter ones) and allowing my hair to dry fully.
- Once fully dry, she recommended using Design Essentials Silk Essentials to lightly coat my hands and fingers while removing the twists in order to maintain the curl pattern, seal in moisture, and add a healthy dose of shine.
So now I'm super excited, because I feel totally equipped to attempt the style for myself at home. I'll be sure to share if and when I achieve the look successfully!

Specifically, their service is now blanketing approximately more than 90 percent of the population across the country. Additionally, they're also slowly rolling the ball on their LTE footprint by expanding coverage to Los Angeles and Philadelphia. MetroPCS CEO Roger D. Linquist said, "As the only no annual contract, pay-in-advance service provider offering 4G LTE services, we are building on the successful commercial launches of 4G LTE service in Las Vegas, Dallas/Fort Worth and Detroit with the launches of our 4G LTE service in Los Angeles and Philadelphia. With a compelling handset line-up and a superior network, we deliver unmatched value with the flexibility, predictability and affordability that consumers demand."
Finally, the prepaid carrier is also introducing their new Metro USA nationwide service, "Wireless for All" plans, which essentially brings unlimited talk, text, and web services wherever they travel across the country with their existing MetroPCS service plan and ranges from $40 to $60. Now that MetroPCS is getting the train rolling with their next generation 4G data service, it's going to be interesting to see how it plays out in the next few months as they attempt to keep pace with the bigger boys on the block with their postpaid offerings.

Rated 1 out of 5 by CJP77 from Compost Pail We had this bucket for 2 years and really liked it. Unfortunately, it started to rust on the bottom and leaking. At first, my husband thought it was from the kitchen sink, until he experienced the leak first hand. Really too bad, it so cute and a good size.Date published: 2016-08-20Rated 1 out of 5 by asdavis74 from Doesn't Last - Cheap Steel As someone else has stated, the metal is cheap. Had the pail for about two years, taken care of it and it started leaking a couple of months ago. There are two pin holes in hte bottom. Expected better.Date published: 2016-05-18Rated 1 out of 5 by RuralCook from Cheap China Steel I was happy with this pail until tonight when I discovered a pin hole in the bottom. I've only had the pail about year and am very disappointed. I've taken good care of the pail, rinsing or washing it out on a daily basis and keeping it dry. Stainless steel should last a very, very long time. I have heard others talk about how the steel made in China is very cheap and they are right. I will not be buying another one of these pails.Date published: 2015-03-11Rated 5 out of 5 by BarbInVa from terrific kitchen compost pail I got this as a gift for a friend, and she has told me that she loves it. It's nicer looking than many others she's seen, and the quality is excellent.Date published: 2015-01-14Rated 1 out of 5 by toots756 from great size, poor material This was a wedding gift though we registered for the white enamel, we received the stainless steel bin. The size was great, it fit under the counter and could be used for a week or so (2 adults in house) until contents made it to the compost in the yard. We used it for 2 months, and rust began to show up on the sides and bottom of the pail. I returned it last weekend and the store associate began to try to scrub off the rust, she was not able to scrub away the rust and accepted my return. Off to find a new one.Date published: 2014-12-17Rated 2 out of 5 by Kalacu from Love the design..too bad it will leak After one year, the bottom of the pail will develop pin holes. Too bad, beautiful design, no smell, nice size. Funny, I may buy again, but I know it has a short life! I did caulk the bottom, and that has helped seal the holes.Date published: 2014-11-09Rated 5 out of 5 by starbuckmom from simple and odorless I very much like the simplicity of this pail; I have it on top of my cabinet and there is no odor coming from it.Date published: 2014-08-15Rated 2 out of 5 by Berningwater from Until Rust Do Us Part Our favorite wedding gift by far was the stainless steel compost pail with the charcoal filters that really work! I am happy to report that the pail made it to our first wedding anniversary before rusting through. We were really REALLY disappointed as we cook regularly (with williams sonoma cookbooks and cookware, of course) and we are a composting home. There should be a warning that the pail will only last about a year and the manufacturers should have used a thicker steel bottom. The inside began to rust after about 6 months (see pic) which didn't bother us until a tiny but determined hole appeared in the bottom and it started slowly leaking nasty compost juice and leaving rust marks on our kitchen counter. We really do miss it as it's by far the most attractive compost bin we've used, and the handle was convenient...but that rust...that hole...kind of a dealbreaker...Date published: 2013-09-09

The Takeaway
Remembering Andy Griffith
It's a song that's so infectious, so a part of the American vernacular, it's hard not to whistle along. For nearly a decade, it served as the opening theme to The Andy Griffith Show. And for most of us, that song and Andy Griffith will always be inseparable. No doubt, many of us whistled it when we heard of Andy Griffith's passing yesterday, at the age of 84.

The President of the hospital says it involves scopes used to conduct a cystoscopy, which is a urological procedure, between September 9th of 2011 and October 25th of this year.
The procedures were done at both Dean Hospital and Northwoods Healthcare.
We're told the health risk is small.
AS a precaution, patients who underwent that procedure can call for a free follow-up test.

How Strong Can A Woman Get, Really?
"Men are just stronger than women. It's just a fact." Well, is it now? This article aims to take a…
Ahhh the push-up.
It's one of the first exercises we learn as youngsters. In fact, you were probably forced to do them in gym class, as punishment for being late to practice, or maybe you just did them on your own because you saw other people doing them.
Regardless of your introduction to push-ups, most of us have been performing them for some time now, which is fantastic! They are simple to learn, don't require any equipment, and you can typically progress quickly when doing them regularly.
They should also be a cornerstone of any proper lifting program, as they are fantastic upper body and core strength builders, and it's just simply important to master body-weight movements before moving onto more complicated or advanced exercises. (Plus, let's be honest, a chick bangin' out several sets of perfect push-ups is just badass!)
What if I told you that you have may have been doing them wrong this whole time?
"Blasphemy!" you say. "I go all the way until my chest touches the floor and I really feel it in my chest the next day! My form is great!"
Well that's what I thought until I learned how I should really be doing them. I went from doing push-ups with a 45-pound plate on my back for sets of 16, to not even being able to execute five correct push-ups on the floor with just my body weight. Talk about humiliation!
So how exactly should you be performing push-ups? I'll explain in detail below:
Beware, this is harder than it seems. Most of us battle with weak scapular stabilizers and tight pecs since we are constantly sitting; sitting at work, sitting in the car, or sitting playing video games. In order to keep your chest out properly you must seat your scapulae, driving them down and together. This puts your scapulae in the correct position to do their job during the push-up, which leads us to our next point.
When you go into the bottom portion of the push-up, your scapulae should retract or "come together" and when you push yourself up, your scapulae should protract, or "come apart."
This is one of the biggest issues I see whenever someone is doing a push-up. Everyone thinks that they are keeping their core nice and tight, but the truth is you probably aren't. Get a video of yourself doing push-ups from the side and you will get a much more objective perspective of what your push-up really looks like! In order to stay neutral, brace your core like you are preparing to be punched in the stomach throughout the entire movement. This will take any unnecessary stress off the lumbar spine, and actually turns the push-up into one of the best core strengthening exercises out there.
The Modern Woman's Guide to Strength Training will help you achieve maximum results, whether you're new to strength training, or a veteran in the weight room.
Sane, Sustainable, & Efficient!
The Modern Woman's Guide to Strength Training will help you achieve maximum results, whether you're new to strength training, or a veteran in the weight room.
You should be squeezing your glutes like you are holding a $100 bill in there! Keeping your glutes tight will help stabilize your core and pelvis while performing the push-up. I know it's not an easy task concentrating on keeping every area of your body tight at once, but you will gain more strength with every tight push-up than you would with 10 mindless push-ups.
OK… this one might be preaching to the choir, but just to cover my bases, flaring your elbows out to 90 degrees is hard on the shoulders and should be avoided. And if you aren't getting full ROM, well then you are just fooling yourself. If you cannot get full ROM at first, feel free to start with push-ups on an incline and slowly lower the include until you are ready to do push-ups on the floor.
Keep in mind that if you try to implement all of these tips at once, there is a good chance you WILL have to do push-ups on an incline for a while, and there is no shame in that. Check your ego at the door and learn how to do a perfect push-up!
A message from GGS…
At Girls Gone Strong, we want you to feel confident knowing that what you're doing to look good, feel good, and feel healthy and strong is not only based on tested, reliable, and safe information from trustworthy sources, but also that it is effective and efficient.
That's why we developed our flagship training system, The Modern Woman's Guide To Strength Training.

Bathroom designer websites?
What are some good simple bath designer websites? I am having trouble figuring out my layout of a 10' 4" by 11' 4" bathroom...I know we want a toilet, walkin shower, whirlpool tub (for 2), and the cabinet/countertop/sink!
Any help on this would be great!
You need to take into consideration where the main stack is as it relates to the toilet as well as the framing direction. You can't just pop things down without piping considerations.
google " bath designer website " and get 109,000,000 results.
First page shows numerous on-line designer sites that would walk you through exactly what you need to know/purchase... or just keep asking here.
I did the search and either it is way too complicated, cannot be saved without a purchase, is foreign (centimeters), or just plain junk!
But, maybe that is all I should expect for free!
Design it, then take a "screenshot" and save it that way.

What is Fungal Biology?
Fungi range from microscopic, single-celled yeasts to vast underground mycelial colonies covering hundreds of acres. They are heterotrophs that play major roles in recycling environmental carbon, cause diseases of plants and animals, and make many industrial products. Because they are more closely related to animals than to plants and because their biology and genetics are easily manipulated, fungi are great models organisms. With 17 labs dedicated to the study of yeasts and filamentous fungi, the University of Georgia is an international hot spot for fungal biology. Fungal researchers at UGA study ecologically diverse organisms to investigate topics ranging from plant pathology to population genetics to developmental biology. The combination of courses focused on fungi and related research methodologies provides a strong curriculum for graduate students and a productive training environment for postdocs interested in the fungi.

Fungi in the News
Cure for bats' white-nose syndrome may be found in bacteria A seasonal fungal disease has been decimating bat populations throughout the eastern states. The fungus, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, which naturally lines the damp walls of caves infects and infiltrates the noses, mouthparts and wings of bats hibernating over winter. Researchers at the University of California Santa Cruz have found bacteria (Pseudomonas spp.) which inhibits the spores of P. destructans in live culture, and have applied the bacteria to bats' skin in the lab. Data from the in vitro trial was published in PLOS ONE. Official publication of analyzed results is pending.
Snakes may have a similar fungal syndrome While studying timber rattlesnake movement patterns and habitat use in Vermont, researchers discovered snakes covered in lesions, particularly around their faces. Called snake fungal disease, it's showing up with increasing frequency in snakes around the eastern and midwestern United States. Conservationists fear it could pose a similar threat to snakes as white-nose syndrome in bats. Read more at The Nature Conservancy.
The spores that won the war go to auction A specimen thought to be part of the original Penicillium fungus which produces penicillin is expected to sell for up to £6,000 at auction (~US$9400). The sample, mounted on paper, is signed on the back by the Nobel Prize-winning biologist Sir Alexander Fleming, and dated 1955. Fleming gave the mold to neighbors living across the road from him after they had frightened away burglars who had been attempting to break into the scientist's London home. This specimen and other artifacts go to auction July 8th in the UK. Read more at The Daily Mail.

With apologies to the Realtors who invented the original joke, nearly everybody agrees the three keys to success for Michigan's economic future are: Education, education, education.
How's that going for us? Not too well, if recent statistics from the Lumina Foundation for Education are any measure. The figures come in the foundation's report, "A stronger nation through higher education," the latest assessment of the Indianapolis-based group's "big goal" that 60 percent of the U.S. population have a high-quality post-secondary degree or credential by 2025.

For more than a century, Michigan has had an entrepreneurial model of management for its public universities.
University autonomy, limiting intrusion of politicians and bureaucrats into the operation of our 15 public universities, was written into the state's 1963 Constitution. It has allowed community driven university boards to meet the needs of Michigan's students and communities, particularly businesses, in a nimble fashion. It's worked well - around the nation, no state boasts such a diverse group of high quality public universities.

Higher education governance has been in the news lately, driven by concerns about high tuition, affordability, and duplication of services.
Business Leaders for Michigan (BLM), a business trade group, has suggested that efficiencies can be gained by greater management cooperation between the state's 15 public university campuses. The eight Booth Newspapers collectively published a story suggesting that university independence is in part to blame for today's affordability crisis — that the universities have too many duplicate programs, and too little coordination

Begin your visit here at the Central Mine
Visitor's Center to see exhibits and
a video about Central Mine.
Announcements: All of the Keweenaw County Historical Museums are now open for the 2017 summer season. See the Site and Museum Schedule page for the exact times and dates for specific museums.
We have also posted a complete calendar of events for our summer season on our Calendar of Events page as well as a summary of our Adventures in History programs on the Adventures in History page.
Tuesday, June 22, 2017, the KCHS will host a workshop concerning invasive plants in the Keweenaw. See our Calander of Events page for details.
One of the most noteworthy historical sites in Keweenaw County is Central, or Central Mine, a village that once was the home for over 1,200 people, and the site of one Keweenaw's most successful mines. The mine, opened in 1854, produced nearly 52 million pounds of copper by the time it closed in 1898.
Several miners' homes and buildings still stand on the site. In 1996, the Keweenaw County Historical Society acquired 38 acres of the old Central site. Some of the residences are being restored, and a Visitors Center provides interpretive exhibits not only about the mine but also about the miners' families, homes, schools and churches.
Two hiking trails opened in 2005, a fun way to see the various sites in Central. The trails are 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile long through the woods. They provide views of several house foundations, a glimpse at the site of the school house, as well as a magnificent view of the valley from the top of the upper rock pile.
Descendants of Central mining families gather each year, on the last Sunday in July, at the old Methodist Episcopal Church for the Central Reunion. The church, erected in 1868, with its distinctive battlemented tower reflecting the Cornish ancestry of many Central families, closed in 1903. It is reopened on each Reunion Sunday for a service of tribute to the hardy pioneers of all faiths from all the early copper mines that dotted Keweenaw County. The year 2011 will mark the 105th anniversary of these reunions. Visit the Central Mine Methodist Church web site for information on the Reunion and church history.
One of the most memorable and peaceful parts of your visit to Central Mine should be a walk in The Central Memorial Garden located directly across the street from the visitor's Center. Click here for additional photos and information about the garden.
While the Central Mine site is open year-round the Visitors Center is open from mid-June through early October. Please respect the privacy of dwelling occupants when touring the mine site. Donation requested.

The people at ODOT have done a great job with our roads in all types of weather conditions.
The other night while picking a family member up from work I had the experience of getting behind the plow on U.S. Route 250 near the patrol barracks at about 11:30 p.m.
While the new amber, green and white strobes allow for better visibility is it really necessary for them to be so bright at night?
Compared to someone's high beams coming the other way, these are actually way brighter.
The older trucks needed a bit more in the amber lighting department, but being blinded with the new lighting is not the answer either. After talking with a few other friends, it appears that others have had the same experience, too.
Hope someone is listening and too much of a good thing doesn't cause an accident.
Charles Emick
Mount Eaton
While yes the lights are bright, you can at least see them right? How may time are ODOT workers hit, vehicles hit, because they can't be seen. I work accidents for a local FD. I have worked accidents with the new State Partol Blue warning light. They are Bright, bright enough I have gotten a headache from directing traffic with one parked near by, but you can see them. How many Emergency vehicle are hit each year cause you can't see them. The lights are there for a reason. I guess like someone said you can pass them if you want. Just expect lousy roads ahead of them. Then there is the question, is that couple minutes you saved by going around them worth your life. They are out there for a reason. If its one thing I have seen lately people need to slow down, there is no reason you have to be in such a hurry, it just may save your life or someone elses.
" I had to to shield my eyes partially in order to pass the truck. I could not tell what lane he was in either, the slower lane or the faster lane due to the lights being so bright."
Natural selection will eventually catch up with you
From Odot's webpage on a recent safety meeting for their drivers...
ODOT Director Meets with Employees, Encourages Safety
Ahead of Latest Winter Storm
Wray also took the time to inform motorists that ODOT snowplows average about 35 to 40 miles per hour while clearing snow and ice from state highways.
"Slow down. Leave plenty of room for snow plows. Let them do the job we need them to do and that will help everyone get to where they need to go, safely," Wray said.
While there's no law that says you can't pass a plow truck, it's just not a good idea. If the roads are snow covered or not, the point that should be addressed is make sure you have enough time to get where you're going for the given condition. Common sense goes a long way. I will tell you those trucks weigh in at around over 40,000 pounds when loaded with salt and plow, maybe more. It's going to hurt if you lose control while passing the truck and it hits your 4,000 pound car. You may not be lucky enough to remember it.
If the roads are bad enough for the trucks to be out, and you are on a 2 lane road, sit back, and enjoy the ride... be thankful that they are out trying to keep you safe. It is not possible for them to always stay in one lane, as they are working to clear drifts, ice patches etc. I would rather go 10 miles below the speed limit in a snow covered road behind a truck and maybe add 30 minutes to my drive, than try and barrel past them, onto a road untreated and spend 3 hours in a ditch waiting on a tow truck. If the ligths are too bright, you are too close, or shouldn't be driving at night to begin with.
So, what you are saying is, if I am on the 4 lane highway westbound, and come upon the rear of an ODOT truck/plow going 50mph.......I should NOT pass the truck/plow, and stay behind him the whole way into Wooster? I think I might be the only one following him into Wooster.
1563, the point is you are not supposed to pass them. Although not illegal, state plow drivers will all tell you they do not want you passing them. Slow down and let them do their jobs.
Ok Buckeye70, how do you pass the truck out on Rt 30 if you come up from behind him? I had to to shield my eyes partially in order to pass the truck. I could not tell what lane he was in either, the slower lane or the faster lane due to the lights being so bright. I do agree that they have done a fabulous job on snow removal....and I don't think they are done yet.
Charles, yes it is necessary. And when they seem too bright it is because you are following them too closely. Back off and you will not only see better, the plow driver will see you better.

Topic (iii)
Innovation at Statistics Netherlands
Barteld Braaksma, firstname.lastname@example.com, +31703374430 or +31615850123
Marleen Verbruggen, firstname.lastname@example.com
We notice several trends in society that ask for an appropriate response from statistical offices. A few examples: the political pressure to reduce the administrative burden, respondents (both households and companies) who are less willing to respond to time consuming questionnaires, the high volatility of information and the increasing need for rapid, to-the-point and easily accessible information, the shift to mobile devices and finally, the increasing importance of internet.
It is the challenge of statistical offices to use their knowledge and innovation power to the optimal extent in order to remain able to respond pro-actively and in a creative way to these developments. This paper describes how Statistics Netherlands has developed an Innovation programme. A three-stage funnel approach plays a key role in this programme. This approach gives maximum room for bottom-up development of ideas, while its focuses at the same time on maximum contribution to the goals of the organization. The Innovation Lab is an important instrument for the Innovation programme. It offers a suitable environment to support the generation of ideas and test their feasibility.
Statistics Netherlands has identified a number of priority areas for innovation: Data Collection, Efficient Processes, Output Innovation, Big Data and IT Innovation. The paper includes a couple of concrete examples of recent innovative ideas that were adopted by the Innovation programme and the tracks we follow to realise them.

After Arsenal's 0-0 draw with Marseille on Tuesday, we asked fans to share their thoughts on the game via Twitter.
Many of you got in touch and below is a selection of your thoughts.
If you don't already follow us on Twitter and want to have your say, you can find us here: @Arsenal
@Twicks1960 - In my mind no coincidence in the return of Vermaelen and keeping a clean sheet - onwards and upwards.
@MickTheGooner - Arsenal remain in control of their own destiny and top the group. Four points from the Marseille matches is no disgrace.
@tonenefifty - Solid performance last night from the Gunners. A clean sheet, although maybe we should have got the job done.
@TB_Gooner - By all accounts Per and TV did well, Gervinho looked lively at least, and Ramsey could have won the game for us in the first half.
@_Tahsein_ - Park looks like a poacher. Good stuff, but he may have to improve a lot to play up front on his own.
@Kamal_SCP - Gervinho looked really lively - a great threat down the middle.
@ScottHastie8 - The effects of Saturday were visibly clear in the second half. Overall good to get a clean sheet - Vermaelen was immense.
@JjeffPatterson - Nothing wrong with a 0-0, a good point for Arsenal.
@OliverYew - That result is no disaster, we're still in control of the group.
@Akrramz_ - Marseille were physically very impressive and closed us down at every opportunity.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Wladimir: Haye unprofessional!
Wladimir Klitschko has ripped David Haye and his team for pulling out of a September 12 fight against his brother Vitali Klitschko in Frankfurt. "Already during the negotiations for my June fight, we realized quickly that Haye and Booth are very unprofessional. Booth might be a good trainer but as a manager he is simply incompetent. David always had a big mouth and tried to offend us with ridiculous self-made t shirts. But when it comes up to step into the ring and show what he's got, he runs away. He even admits that fighting Valuev is the easier way. For me Haye is a little, inexperienced kid who is afraid of his own courage. Doubtless, my brother would have knocked him out within the first four rounds."
Bernd Bönte, Managing Director of the Klitschko Management Group, added "First of all, I feel sorry for the team of the Commerzbank-Arena and for the boxing fans in the Frankfurt region. We will try to set up another Klitschko fight in this wonderful arena as soon as possible. Also for us, the cancellation was very surprising as we got informed about it through the media. Haye's manager Adam Booth did not even have the courage to give me a call personally and tell me about their decision – for me a sign of his inexistent class. Background of the pull-out are definitely the bad pay-per-view-TV figures of BSkyB in England.
"Haye and his manager, whose home base is in the Turkish part of Cyprus for fiscal reasons, seem to have realized all of a sudden, that we have a global economic depression and English boxing fans are not that easily willing to pay 15 pounds for a bout. All the excuses of adhesion contracts are complete rubbish as Haye had already signed the same contract for the fight against Wladimir in June, which also contained a usual rematch clause and a pure Klitschko option. And for that fight he also pulled out.
"By the way, Vitali and myself attended Haye's last fight against Monte Barrett at the O2 Arena in London. There were possibly 6,000 fans in a 20,000 seat arena. The guy is not a big draw in England at all. We were always surprised that he expected to get 2.7 million pounds out of the English pay-per-view sales for a fight against Vitali or Wladimir," concluded Bönte.
Klitschko Management Group has already started negotiating with potential opponents for Vitali's next title defense.

The Atlanta Falcons are looking to improve on their 2015 season. The last season started strong for the Falcons as the team started by going 5-0, however they ended the season with a record of 8-8 and finished second in the NFC South. The 2016 season will be the 52nd year of the Atlanta Falcons football organization and the second season with Dan Quinn as head coach. Matt Ryan continues to lead the team offensively while the ATL Falcons hope their 2016 first round NFL draft pick, Keanu Neal will help boost their defense. The Falcons roster is also strengthened by star wide receiver Julio Jones, who ended the 2015 NFL season with 1,871 receiving yards, the second-highest in NFL history.

This rivalry has often times been referred to as the "Southern Showdown" and is the oldest and most established rivalry in the division. With 9+ division titles between the two teams, the stakes are at its highest when they play against each other. The fan bases consider this matchup the most hated and intense of all the other opponents they play and with two games a year, this rivalry will only continue to grow.
This rivalry is based off the results on the field and not because they are division foes or play in the same state. With multiple playoff matchups and numerous close games over the years dating back to their first game in 1966, this rivalry has become as an intense as any division matchup.
This rivalry, also known as the "I-85 Rivalry" because both cities are only separated by five hours on Interstate 85, has become one of the better division rivalries in the NFL since their first matchup in 1995. They may not have played in as many contests as some of the historical rivalries, but with more than 6 division titles between the two teams, this rivalry only continues to get better.
The Falcons vs. Buccaneers rivalry is one of the more heated rivalries in the NFL, the aggressive play of the Falcons vs. Buccaneers usually lasts after the whistle has been blown. These two teams have combined for over 2,000 yards in penalties during the 10+ years the NFC South has been in existence. The most memorable game that demonstrates the brutality of this series came in 2003 when the Bucs racked up 17 penalties.
With an NFC Championship, multiple division titles and 10+ playoff appearances, the Falcons continue to build a resume that puts them in the conversation as one of the better organizations in the NFL. The recent success in Atlanta has only added to the talk that the Falcons are of the top franchises in football.
The majority of parking at the Georgia Dome is condensed to one area. On the southeast corner of the stadium are three large parking lots. Just to the south of Ga. Dome Drive is the Orange Lot, which extends all the way to Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Next to the Orange lot on the other side of Mangum Street is the Brown Lot, which also extends to Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Centennial Olympic Park. Slightly north of the Brown Lot is the Red Deck, which sits in-between the Georgia Dome and Phillips Arena on Andrew Young International Boulevard. There is another small parking deck immediately to the north of the arena that usually fills up quickly. If you are not afraid of a little walk there are two parking lots a few blocks away at the corner of Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard and Northside Drive.
TicketCity offers a big selection of Atlanta Falcons tickets which include some of the lowest priced seats on the market. Falcons tickets fluctuate based on demand and opponent.

The Atlanta Falcons struggles continued in 2014, with the team losing 6 of their first 8 games. The dynamic receiving duo of Julio Jones and Roddy White saw their chances diminished due to the terrible play of the Falcons defense. The Falcons drafted 4 defensive players in the 2015 NFL Draft to try and sure up their defense. First and second round picks Vic Beasley and Jalen Collins are expected to get playing time immediately and should help keep the ball in Matt Ryan's hands. Despite finishing 6-10 last season, the Falcons were only 1 game out of 1st place in a weak NFC South. The 2015 Atlanta Falcons should continue to be one of the most talented offensive teams in the NFC and if the defense can take a step in the right direction, could be in contention for a trip to the playoffs.
The Falcons problems last season are well documented. A slew of injuries brought down a team that looked like they could be headed for a Super Bowl, and without his weapons Matt Ryan had the worst season of his career. The team has added some help on the offensive line, including OT Jake Matthews from Texas A&M in the first round of the draft. While Tony Gonzalez is no longer on the team, the Falcons did add Devin Hester to look for a few more big plays in the special teams. With Roddy White and Julio Jones back and healthy, the Falcons could be a factor against the Panthers in the AFC South once again. The Falcons will host the Saints in Week 1 at the Georgia Dome, but some of the other big games to look forward to are vs. Bears in Week 6, at Carolina in Week 11 and at Green Bay in Week 14. The possibilities for this Falcons team are endless when everyone is healthy.
The 2013 Atlanta Falcons made significant changes on both sides of the football this offseason to try to ensure another run to the playoffs. Veteran running back Michael Turner was released and replaced by long time St. Louis Ram Steven Jackson. Also on the offensive side of the football, the Falcons managed to convince future Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez to forgo retirement and play one more season in the NFL. Defensively, Atlanta added defensive end Osi Umenyiora to provide a pass-rushing presence. Through the NFL Draft the Falcons revamped their secondary by selecting corner backs in each of the first two rounds—Desmond Trufant from Washington in the first round and Robert Alford from Southeastern Louisiana in the second. With a youth injection in the secondary and established veterans on both sides of the ball, the Falcons should find themselves back in the playoffs this season.
Despite an early exit in the playoffs last season, the Atlanta Falcons were one of the most exciting teams to watch. Led by one of the best young quarterbacks in the league, Matt Ryan, and with a powerful running game that can compete with any team in the league, it would not be surprising to see the Falcons back in the chase to win the NFC in 2011. Last season Ryan had one of the best seasons in the league. He was helped a lot by the prolific production of receiver Roddy White, who provided him with an especially reliable target. Tight end Tony Gonzalez is also a significant weapon, and is among the best tight ends ever to play the game. The Falcons will also have a solid running game in 2011 thanks in large part to the production of running back Michael Turner. The defense let the Falcons down at times last season, including an embarrassing 48-21 loss to eventual Super Bowl champion Packers. Despite their faults, the defense does feature a long list of talented players including defensive end John Abraham and cornerback Dunta Robinson.
The Atlanta Falcons surprised some people two years ago by riding then-rookie quarterback Matt Ryan to a playoff berth. After a sophomore slump for Ryan that saw the Falcons missing out on the playoffs last year, many people are picking the Falcons to have a successful 2010. Although Ryan has the skills to make plays when necessary, his performance will not be what the Falcons are relying on offensively. Running back Michael Turner is one of the best in the league at his position. The Northern Illinios alum is poised to have a good year after an injury-shortened 2009 that saw him rush for only 871 yards and 10 touchdowns. Ryan also has the added benefit of having several great targets to throw to including tight end Tony Gonzalez and wide receiver Roddy White. The Falcons defense struggled to defend the pass, as they ranked 28th in the league in pass defense. The secondary, which is anchored by cornerback Dunta Robinson and safety Thomas DeCoud, will have to improve if Atlanta is to live up to expectations. Veteran defensive end John Abraham leads a solid defensive line, and middle linebacker Curtis Lofton returns after leading the team with 133 tackles in 2009.
The Atlanta Falcons head into 2009 with a huge head of steam off their magnificent 2008 campaign. The Falcons came out of nowhere to shock the league with an 11-5 record. Much of the Falcons rebirth has been attributed to the play of then-rookie QB Matt Ryan. Ryan, the Boston College grad, looked like a veteran signal caller in 2008; he'll need to repeat that in 2009 for the Falcons to make some noise. The good news for Atlanta is that Ryan is not the only star on the offensive side of the ball; Atlanta has a dynamic duo at running back with Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood. ATL fans also have to love the promise that wide receiver Roddy White showed in '08, White is looking like a star waiting to happen. The Falcons defense should give some headaches to teams coming into the Georgia Dome. Led by sack master John Abraham, the Falcons defense will be a solid group. Coach Mike Smith's team will not sneak up on any other NFL teams in 2009, but they will not need to because they are a good football team.
The Atlanta Falcons are one of the most unpredictable teams to watch in the NFL this coming season. With the loss of franchise quarterback Michael Vick, who pled guilty to dog fighting charges, and a dismal 2007 season as a result, the Falcons will look to rookie Matt Ryan or placeholder Chris Redman to give the team some offensive morale. Considering the high hopes for the 2007 team with Vick, one would think that one of these two quarterbacks could propel Atlanta into a legitimate playoff contender this year or the next. However, some changes are necessary in the Falcon's defensive strategy to make sure all efforts to shut them out are quelled at the source. The development of this team will be exciting to watch, and Falcons fans will flock to the Georgia Dome to find out what lies in store for the team.
Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Vic Beasley Jr., Devonta Freeman, Alex Mack and Matt Bryan have all been selected to play in the 2017 Pro Bowl.
Falcons star wide receiver Julio Jones has missed practice this week due to a minor toe injury, however he is most likely to play in this week's game against the Rams.
Wide receiver Julio Jones was limited in Wednesday's practice with a shoulder injury, however he returned to full practice on Thursday and is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Despite losing against the Philadelphia Eagles in their last game, the Falcons are still leading in the NFC South and have a very strong chance of making the playoffs.
The Atlanta Falcons continue to lead the teams in the NFC South. Their victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now puts their record at 6-3.
