Google Maps Shows Strange, Grid-Like Images in China: 'Nobody Really Knows'
Google Maps has been known to capture some strange images. Some have been turned into art, while others are revealing, such as those showing North Korean concentration camps. The latest photos from Google Maps are taken from China and are just plain puzzling.
According to Gizmodo, this first image is taken from Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Gansu, north of the Shule River in the Kumtag Desert:
They seem to be wide lines drawn with some white material. Or maybe the dust have been dug by machinery.
The tracks are perfectly executed, and they seem to be designed to be seen from orbit.
Perhaps it's some kind of targeting or calibrating grid for Chinese spy satellites? Maybe it's a QR code for aliens? Nobody really knows.
Here's the Google Map for the above image.
In a second image, Gizmodo describes seeing a grid similar to a radio or electrical station, and notes that if you zoom in you'll see what appear to be destroyed vehicles.
The third is an 18 mile grid with thousands of lines (see below).
The Washington Post also points out an image of what could be a roadway crossing the Gobi desert:
Speculation as to what the buildings are ran from water purification plants to weapons testing sites to training facilities. In one Google Earth closeup there is debris scattered in a systematic way, possibly suggesting a weapons training facility. In another closeup, there appear to be large manmade bodies of water.
Any thoughts on what these could be? Share your theories below. To see more strange images, check out the full Gizmodo post.

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 11:46amIf I had to take a guess, I'd say the lines are nothing more than a distraction. The Chinese are more than aware that we have our own 'birds' watching them closely. This is probably an attempt to bleed off some of their money (like with the fully built, uninhabited cities they built) and cause confusion at the same time. It's a "hey look at this" but "don't pay attention to this over here" scheme. Classic "Art of War" strategy. If anything, the 18 mile section of horizontal lines could be a solar farm project on a large scale basis. They do manufacture the world's cheapest and most efficient panels right now.

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 12:37pmIts called a Ruse… and I agree with you for the most part or they just we wont mess with them so they are actually what we think they are and they just don't care if we know.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 12:48pmI think a couple of them are a ruse, but the one with all the grid-lines looks like some sort of directional antenna with a more complex series of networks at the perpendicular bisector point, and if you zoom in it looks as if there is a series of objects 6 x 4 totaling 24 and there are many sets of 24. Maybe transformers or capacitors?
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 12:50pmHigh altitude targeting grids.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 12:51pmEighteen miles of grid-lines seems like a lot of work to put into a ruse.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 12:53pmPerhaps it is a national defense weapon designed to cover many bandwidths and block out radio communications against an enemy by over whelming the bands with a massive surge of RF.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 12:55pmI'd be worried.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 12:58pmSee if more RF is propagated at the base where the wider more complex network is, then it will direct the two sections which appear like a fork forwards. What's it facing – East?
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 1:06pmIn a high-tech war the last remaining communications would be HF, and perhaps that is their solution to overwhelming HF, and winning the war. The Chinese aren't stupid and they plan way ahead because it's their nature to do so. And lets not forget, I don't think they care much about the environment.

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 1:12pmHAARP. Google it. They are behind the curve on this.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 1:13pmAdditionally maybe they are building a giant directional microwave oven.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 1:17pmThe nation that has the biggest population issues and as a result is having it's elite's power threatened is China, and therefore they need a place for their people to go. I think China would be happen if entire continents of people just disappeared so they can easily move abroad.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 1:25pmThose are canals, like the ones on Mars.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 1:43pmSpot on! If they didn't want us to see it we wouldn't.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 1:47pmst. maps of certain city's laid out in 1 to 1 scale?
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 1:49pmThere is going to be massive migrations of Chinese coming to America. And guess what? It wouldn't be the first time in history there has been such an event.

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 1:51pmYeah that's it, they built canals like on Mars, and then instead of concealing them, they highlighted them with bright lines. Lol.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 2:04pmYes this is a HAARP grid – China will be experiencing Earth Quakes very soon – same thing happened in Nevada a year ago when they had 7 or 8 earth quakes in a row. Also simular things are occuring in Texas – that some believe is cuasing the drought and a couple of very rare earth quakes. Just another day in the office for Obama.

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 2:07pm@Eliasim — consider it this way, once the US intel agencies see these figure how much in the way of time and resources will need to be used from other projects to answer these:
What exactly are they?
What purpose do they have?
Are they a decoy or distraction?
Are we sure to what they seem to be?It could be a legitimate ruse on a massive scale, have some true technological function; or it could be a mixture of both. With the nation of China, as with Russia, nothing can be sure 100%
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 2:07pmHere the link to Navada's earthquakes.
See the grid for yourself.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 2:18pmYeah that's it HAARP is causing earthquakes and droughts, and apparently it also caused the droughts in the early 1900′s, and the late 1700′s and the worse than usual winters. HAARP must have caused the mid- 1800′s warm-up, and also the medieval warm-up. And even though they are not certain exactly how to calculate climate change because of the billions of variables, they can apparently direct earthquakes to whatever region they want, and also target particular nations with drought. I think HAARP has it's national defense purposes but I don't think controlling climate of the planet is one of them.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 2:23pmChina has got some weird things going on such as those modern ghost towns.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 2:25pmThe top photo is pretty much what we'd expect to see when working through the telemetry for targeting weaponry by remote command. Topography is a key to establishing accurate firing solutions.
I haven't modeled it yet, but I'd like to do a transparency and overlay it across a world map to know for sure if they're developing something for military use, or if it's nothing more than a map to designate mining.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 2:29pmI think you are hearing more about earthquakes because there are over 7 billion people in the world and because the earth goes through smaller cycles and grand cycles, and people forget about it's cycles. People have built cities on top of regions that will be affected by the grand cycle, and the sun also goes through grand cycles which affect the earth. The media reports every little shake the earth does, and they didn't used to do that and more importantly 100 years ago people didn't lie in some of the regions that have quakes. So I don't think we need HAARP to hear about earthquakes and droughts.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 2:30pmChina is too busy laughing at us and OBama turning down the Canada oil deal AND THOUSANDS OF JOBS WE SO DEARLY NEED FOR A PERFECTLY SAFE PROJECT.
.. to worry about what we think the lines are all about..probably grandstands to have a parade because we are so stupid and Obama has just flushed thousands of jobs down the tubes becaus IT'S A POLITICAL DECISION THAT HE'LL MAKE AFTER…AFTER THE 2012 ELECTION..AFTER CANADA HAS SIGNED THEIR DEAL WITH CHINA..AFTER WE ARE CRYING IN THE STREETS FOR JOBS..AFTER THEY HAVE EFFECTIVELY SHUT US DOWN.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 2:30pmI'm an electrical engineer.
1) fractal radio antenna used for extremely large wavelength radio waves. Most likely subterranean.
2) no idea.
3) phased array directional antenna for very large subterranean radio transmission or reception. Submarine tracking for exampe. Discrimination is very good with scanners available now.
4) particle accelerator possibly. -
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 2:33pmpeeoui,
China isn't the only nation that has Ghost town because so does the U.S. Both countries have built homes that are not getting lived in. It's all part of the "End of an age." It's Biblical. -
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 2:42pmMore importantly empty homes and town are Biblical, and the sign of an end of an age, because it is sign of coming financial ruin.

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 1:51pm1st picture: some ambitious teenager TP'ed with giant rolls of toilet paper on Halloween.
2nd picture: ordnance testing range
3rd picture: Space Alien landing strip
1st pic is probably related to targeting solutions. That would be my guess from working on defense projects/weapons telemetry based entirely on GPS. It's done in a relative soft zone of the earths electromagnetic field (means it's generally stable) so reading distortions are minimal for calculations.2nd pic I think you're probably closer than you might realize.
3rd pic could be a lot of different things. Reminds me of a power grid, or even a targeting grid to create a pattern for air to ground warfare where terrain doesn't have to be programmed except during flight.
We have literally thousands of specific sat images of the US (and trust territories) air space that we use as general reference points for programming remote guidance systems. It would be a surprise if China didn't have the same thing going on. Advanced weaponry requires intensive learning platforms to perfect them.

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 2:30pm
You could easily be right on 1 & 3, but there's no chance that 4 is a particle accelerator. -

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 4:15pmHead south east from that grid one … will find one that puts that one to shame .. it is huge and when you zoom in to the outpost some looked burnt (blown up..bombing runs??) It's got zig zag lines ..it has dot patterns …. it is massive !!!
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 4:44pmDon't think it's a ruse – they don't have the scope to do something like this. I think its this:

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 5:24pm"It's a "hey look at this" but "don't pay attention to this over here" scheme. Classic "Art of War" strategy"
Bravo, that's exactly what I'm thinking :) They know our leaders and left wing are running around like just decapitated chickens, and the more 'illusion' they throw out there the more the eye is off their real plan. Just like the Muslims, and that is letting us hang ourSELVES with the rope they're providing with a little terror mixed in, because they KNOW they can't defeat us EVER on a battlefield or in our own backyards, so it must be done in a clandestine way as Glenn has said over and over as well. ;)
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 7:37pmWould you believe…
The tracks are the testing from a Land based laser, Satellite reflected weapon?
As is the rather impressive Grid of lines, imagine how close in tolerance one would have to navigate on land to draw those patterns, even with a GPS or land based positioning system, but a single point reference space location would make it easy peasy lemon squeezie.
The Giant circle is an EMP testing platform for testing Weapons delivery vehicles like the planes on the test platform for survivability after the strike. The US versions typically use Horizontal Emitters that create a large vertical magnetic pules that could be sensed through the earth from the far side, A vertical emitter would create a horizontal pules that would go into space at the horizon with little detectable disturbance at the polls of the field. The black thingies in the circle could be electromagnets to direct & concentrate the effect on the test subjects.China is not Primitive, Far from it. They, like all nations will do what it takes to protect their country.
Too bad our president would rather work against us, than for us.Come on fellow thinkers,

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 9:38pmHAARP…totally HAARP
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 11:28pmAs I was trying to post earlier – but was unable to do so for some unknown reason at Blaze – I think that the first photo represents the official Chinese "Map to Freedom" that it provides each of its citizens who wish to embark on that journey, along with a dirt sandwich, a pat on the back, and wishes for "good luck, you're gonna need it."
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 11:37pmOr, it's directions for aliens interested in Chinese food to the restaurant with the sensual, 3-D dining experience that's LONG on atmosphere: Wun Hung Lo.
Posted on November 15, 2011 at 1:20amOK, after some reflection, the #1 is still Area 201. It says so on the pic. If US can make deals with aliens, so can Chinese.
#4 , Not sure, but what that "2040G" is doing there? And what does it mean?
Posted on November 15, 2011 at 1:41am@Jethrobama
My best quess:
1) Geomagnetic fractal antenna/resonator. There must be very little magnetic material around or beneath the devise.
2) Satellite/google earth "stitch" marks. There are very few satellite passes over this region. The digitized images are calibrated and stitched together. The cross stiches are produced by a less-than-perfect digital image.
3) A HAARP. A phased array directional antenna used for heating the ionosphere, weather manipulation, heating subterranean water to initiate earthquakes, disruption of aircraft/satellite communication, ultra low frequency submarine communication, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in oil exploration.
4) The blue "airport" configuration are rows of solar panels used to power communication antennas. There are capacitors to the right and an abandoned configuration of solar panels to the left. The three dark blue squares were plastic canopies to protect workers unpacking and assembling the solar panels. There are three broken frames and white plastic dust covers strewn about.
The radial structure with the three bombers in the center is to test the shielding of the avionics for EMP, disruption of communication/navigation, other electronic countermeasures.

They track submarines with subterreanian means now? Gee, 24 years ago it was hydrophones laid on the ocean floor….I know, that's what I did for 4 years. "I listened to sounds in the ocean, both man made and biological, through a series of hydrophones laid on the ocean floor." That's all I was allowed to say up to 10 years after I got out.
Posted on November 15, 2011 at 10:53amI am not sure if the people that posted this even zoom in to really look at what these are? Some are clearly military training grounds yes for booming just like the http://www.yuma.army.mil/ proving grounds Google map the following 33.091002,-114.398309 or 33.080952,-114.376237 or Camp Twentynine Palms Middle BagDad City 34.24567,-116.025088 . The others are Wind Power stations. Now for 40.452107,93.742118 if you user Google Earth other than the interesting design you only see a difference in the change of elevation of 1meter ( I thing that was the measurement mine was set to) from the white surface to the surrounding terrain. Maybe it is for Nuclear testing 37.116667,-116.05 check out http://www.ctbto.org/specials/1945-1998-by-isao-hashimoto/ or just strange like 37.426786,-116.854234 or giant pentagram here 37.401456,-116.867902

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 11:45amSaw this article at Gizmodo, the comments there say that the overlay of the first geometric do not correspond to any major urban areas in the US. I would suggest (mainly because I have to earn a living!) that some would check the overlay against areas in Taiwan, Nepal and Russia to see if they match up with THOSE geographic areas.
The Secondary images definitely show craters and destroyed equipment which could be caused by terrestrial based or space based weapons.
Americans, there could be a MAJOR reason why the US is not mentioned in the book of Revelation. Pray hard!

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 12:28pmThe first image looks like a city street test firing range. The second looks like a building test firing range. The last is probably a scale to measure missile and jet speed. If you look, there is also a few airstrips near by. One is bombed out. Probably to practice taking out an enemies ability to scramble counter forces.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 12:50pmOne reason may be that it didn't exist and the "Known world" of the time consisted of onlly a small portion of the world. After you finish reading "Revelations" pull your head out of your ass and think.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 1:50pmActually, the second set of images strongly resemble "surface strikes" of munitions testing for anti-personnel materiel' rather than a space based platform of weaponry. Were I a betting man, I'd say they were testing area and personnel specific munitions for "low intensity" (Re:insrugency or counter-insurgency type) weapons. Most likely for insertion into the Estados Unidos via our southern border or for a "contracting sub-Saharan" country like oh, say, Iran?
Our esteemed Asiatic "trading partners" NEVER do anything on a whim, and I believe the grid is some kind of antenna network, placed in an area that's extremely difficult for us to hit without ICBM capabilities. Might be a CLUE, there?(as to it's purpose) -
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 2:26pmRevelations was written before 1776 ?
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 2:52pmYour response is closest to the truth. they aren't playing footsie people, they don't joke around & have fun with things like we do. they are serious about doing things.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 3:30pmThe US is mentioned in Revelation. "The woman" (Israel) was protected "by the wings of a great eagle (US)." It's the same reference Daniel uses in the 1st prophecy concerning America. Great Britain was the lion with eagles' wings on it. Then the wings were plucked up "and a man's heart was given unto it". These are symbolic of the two most famous symbols of America: The bald eagle and Uncle Sam. We'll be here during the great tribulation, just maybe not all of us.

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 11:58amIn the first picture, could it also have been developed for air force training?
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 12:04pmI was thinking the same thing, especially from the first picture. It looks like the white part of the roads are at a higher elevation than everything else, which would indicate that everything around it was flooded and all the color got sucked out of it and it turned to a muddy, strange looking mess. It's definitely odd.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 1:52pmThere is clearly flood damage. But there are a few things to ponder regarding the first picture:
1. There is another similar light brown configuration further to the west of the airport(s).
2. There are, in fact, multiple airfields, with no airport facilities
3. Flooding appears as if it could have been extensive/catastrophic as there are no buildings remaining standing and the airfields appear to be covered in mud from washout.
4. If this is flooding, there is no apparent cause. There are no tributaries or large lakes nearby.
5. The runways are of the largest/longest in existence. Comparable to commercial airfields in the US for jumbos. What could such large runways really service in such isolation?
6. I am not convinced those are blue tarps. The BIRGHT blue to the northwest of the airfield farthest east seems to bleed onto the surrounding landscape, like this is an altered photo.
7. Each band of the configuration(s) are around 75 feed wide. Much larger than a foot path or even an encampment. Also, look closely, as it appears as if the "flodding" has also affected the strange patern.All in all this is strange, but it is hard to guess with what we know here.

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 3:15pmMost of these if not all are just screw ups on google's part when they fuse the triangles from various passes at different times and resolutions together to try to make the most detailed images possible with the least amount of shadows and snow cover as possible. This is automated, and all the screw ups can't be automatically detected. These areas look very different on maps.live.com, yahoo, as well as high resolution army servers I have access to.
Posted on November 14, 2011 at 11:31amYes, they are both strange, and grid like.

This has given me hope for the future of our country to know that we have individuals with equally matched intelligence to go up against the progressives. (myself not included) Our strength in numbers though esstential are not enough without the proper leadership . We need to be organized and must have individuals capable of translating this type of information to those of us who don't have the necessary qualifications. Thanks for sharing this information.

Posted on November 14, 2011 at 11:57am82nd Air — normally about Glenns chalkboard I would laugh at; save on the drudge report I seen the same photos in a different related article and did some digging around. The second picture, in which looks like it has destroyed or scrapped vehicles around it a associate of mine said it appears to be a sight for storage of dangerour (radiological) waste.
The third picture structure is even more interesting, as we have here a retired radio construction and operations engineer (satellite and such) and he said this could be (in his oppinion) a Ultra Low frequency transmitter and/or receiver such as used to contact submersed vehicles.
And recall back earlier in this year when the unknown missile was launched by a unknown sub off of our West Coast? I wonder if we have a connection?

The Drowsy Chaperone (Don Ward)
Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
Two people were mugged while walking to a friend's apartment on the east side of Colorado Springs.
According to police, the pair were at the Timberlane Apartments on the 3900 block of Bijou at 1:2 0 a.m. Thursday when they were confronted by an armed man. After robbing both victims, the suspect ran off. Two or three other men were lurking nearby during the robbery, and were spotted leaving the area when the suspect did.
The suspect has been described as a black man, 5-foot-9 to 6 feet tall and thin. He was reportedly wearing a dark-colored hoodie and baggy jeans at the time of the robbery.
If you have any information on this crime, call police at 444-7000 or Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

Truk Lagoon with a difference...
Posted 08 August 2009 - 11:28 AM
Truk Lagoon, nowadays known as Chuuk State in Micronesia is located in the South Pacific. Geographically speaking it rubs shoulders with Palau, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Fiji, Yap, The Solomon Islands, Guam and so on. You get the picture, this is right smack in the middle of divers paradise. The water is a balmy 30 deg Celsius and the marine biodiversity and biomass is among the best in the world. But Truk itself is of course famous for its wrecks more than anything else.
In 1944 Truk was a major staging point for the Japanese Navy and was home to the combined fleet, a huge armada of ships scattered throughout the various anchorages. Truk appeared largely invulnerable to bombardment by surface ships, but a photographic overflight by US bombers revealed the threat of aerial bombardment. Following the overflight most major fleet units were moved out and two weeks later a two day aerial bombing offensive was launched. The operation was called Operation Hailstone and was described as one of the most aggressive actions taken by US Forces against Japan.
Over sixty ships, submarines and aircraft were sunk and the legacy of this action is that today Truk is a wreck divers paradise. It first came to the worlds attention in the 1970s after a documentary filmed by the legendary Cousteau team was released. Today many tourists make the pilgrimage to dive these amazing wrecks.
Following a successful expedition in 2008, Pete Mesley already had most of the supplies in place for another trip in 2009. Petes trips cater almost exclusively for rebreather divers and their special requirements in terms of gases, cylinders and scrubber materials. Now while I am not an ardent rebreather fanatic who will advocate their use over any other system for any occasion, I do believe in using the right tool for the job. And there is no doubt that these machines are the perfect tool for exploring the wrecks of Truk Lagoon. The deeper and lesser dived wrecks can be explored at leisure without the same time constraints as open circuit. And of course the rebreathers offer almost unlimited bottom time on the shallower wrecks.
So 2009 saw the meeting in Guam of three separate teams from around the world. The British team headed by Leigh Bishop, the Kiwi team led by Pete and including Simon Mitchell, and the South African team (including one living in LA and one in Perth). The trip got off to a sober start when the SA team member living in Perth was not allowed through Guam due to a visa problem and that was that, trip over for him. Also several members of the various teams were severely punished financially with excess baggage charges. Try bringing a rebreather and a full photo/video system on holiday and see what I mean!
Arriving in Truk we were met at the airport and delivered straight to the Blue Lagoon Resort. After check in it was straight to the dive shop for kitting up in preparation for the following day. Petes organisation was magnificent and all gases and gear were ready as promised. The following days diving was a real eye-opener to the size and scale of these wrecks. The rough plan was max five people per boat and one boat per wreck to maximise enjoyment and minimise silting etc. We had a total of 23 planned dives each and unless one wished to repeat a certain dive, these could all be on different wrecks, which would still leave about 40 still to do! (Next trip is a must!) The morning dive would generally be a deeper one (max 62m) and then this was followed by an afternoon dive on a shallower (35m) wreck. The rebreathers allowed a bottom time of around 50 minutes on the deeper wrecks and around 100 minutes on the afternoon dives. We soon settled into a routine and got on with the business of diving and image making.
Inevitably there were several setbacks and issues but on a trip of this duration and intensity this is to be expected. Two members of the UK team suffered floods to their video housings, one of them a very expensive piece of kit. One member of the SA team suffered a bend requiring chamber treatments and putting paid to the balance of the trip in terms of further diving. Almost all member from all teams went down with flu at some stage and most missed a days diving at the very least. But overall these were minor issues (except to those that suffered them!) and the trip was a great success.
Blue Lagoon were fantastic, and both the resort and the dive operation gave first class service. The people were extremely friendly and helpful (too much so in one instance where a skipper had to go to hospital after picking up Nicks rebreather!)
The images (both photographic and mental) are enough to last for a lifetime. I found it very difficult to choose a favourite wreck as they are all so different and each offers something unique. The deeper wrecks tended to be less worked on, have better visibility and offer a more genuine experience. The shallower wrecks offered much longer bottom times and stunningly colourful coral growths, but the visibility was not always great and in several instances items had been arranged by dive guides for photographic purposes and I found this quite disturbing. It seemed fake and actually detracted from the experience of the wrecks. Luckily it happened only in a few isolated spots.
One thing that quickly became apparent was that it is necessary to research the wrecks before diving to maximise the enjoyment and understanding of the dive. Also unless taking pictures as a reference, the wrecks quickly tend to blend into one another and its difficult to remember what was seen on which wreck. A lot of life was lost during Operation Hailstone and on some of the wrecks you can actually feel it some of the wrecks are just plain spooky!
Wrecks that were highlights for me include the Nagano, the Oite, the Hoki, the Nippo and of course the San Francisco. The best kept secret of Truk is of course that there is so much other fantastic diving other than the wrecks. There are caves, walls, shark cleaning stations and much more, but most tourists only want the wrecks. Our group was a bunch of serious wreckies who could spot a telegraph from 400 fin kicks away and liked nothing better than to spend hours scratching through tight places inside engine rooms. One very well known UK wreck diver and photographer spotted an anemone that had folded back on itself and was heard to comment on the purple skin thing with wormy bits in the middle! Those with more of a naturalist bent and who are not so wreck mad will be equally at home underwater at Truk, as the sheer abundance of marine life is fantastic. There really is something for everyone there.
Of course all good things must come to an end and so it happens that I find myself back at home with a large check mark against one of my lifes ambitions. But somehow it does not seem real, I still have so much unfinished business in Truk! Oh well there is always next year!

Yeah the viz for us was well below average, The inner lagoon wrecks were really bad this year. Averaging the viz round 6-10m But the outer lagoon dives (Oite, Katsuragisan etc) were amazing! also the deeper wrecks off the eastern side of Dublon were good too. But with the viz down we just focused on the internals of the wrecks.
The anemone was taken on the Shinokoku Maru. A shallow tanker sitting in 30m of water. The aquatic life on this wreck was stunning. Just a recommendation with posting your images. You have posted your one at top resolution. Try and reduce it to about 600 pixels across. This will make it easier for people to view and faster to download.

Looks like you guys had a bit better viz than we did in June. I would say we had below average viz. Our first trip was better.

Yes, you can penetrate the sub. Sidemount will do, not rebreather or twins. Different, but as complex as Oite's engine and not much to see.

The Valero Port Arthur Refinery was commissioned in 1901 and has had many process additions and improvements throughout its history (see pg. 38). In 2001, nearly $850 million was invested in a delayed coker and hydrocracker to enable the plant to run heavy, sour crude as shown on the September 2012 cover of HP. Other investments include the recent expansion of the coker to 95,000 bpd from 85,000 bpd. The most recent expansion of the crude and vacuum units has increased the refinerys ability to process lower-cost, heavy sour crude oil and increased throughput capacity to 310,000 bpd. The refinery is strategically located on the Texas Gulf Coast, approximately 90 miles east of Houston. The refinerys location accommodates its extensive logistics system, which includes access to Gulf Coast water-borne crude oil via the refinery docks or through the Nederland, Texas, terminals of Sun or Oil Tanking. The milestones of this refinery are:

For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Johnson quit his post four days ago following a dismal World Cup campaign on and off the pitch.
Several people have already been linked with the job, including New Zealand's World Cup-winning supremo Graham Henry, former South Africa coach Nick Mallett and Northampton chief Jim Mallinder.
But Bath boss and former British and Irish Lions coach McGeechan feels time is on Twickenham's side, despite the RBS 6 Nations campaign starting in little more than two months' time.
"I will be very interested to see which direction they go," he said, following Bath's 16-13 Heineken Cup victory over Montpellier at the Recreation Ground.
"They should ideally look for an English coach. And I think it is key they probably take a bit of time to look at the best options."
Asked if a caretaker coach should initially be appointed, McGeechan added: "I think the only way it would work is if they keep the same coaches for six months and then have a six-month process for finding the right man.
"That could be better than jumping to conclusions in three or four weeks."
McGeechan looked on while World Cup winner Stephen Donald took centre stage for Bath as they put their European campaign back on track with a tense victory over dangerous French opposition.
The New Zealander, whose penalty secured World Cup final glory for the All Blacks against France in Auckland last month, marked his home debut in style.
Donald created Bath's opening try and then almost scored the second following a lengthy interception sprint, while he also slotted two penalties to get his team up and running in Heineken Cup Pool Three.
After losing away to Glasgow last weekend, Bath knew they could not afford a second successive defeat and effectively risk pool stage elimination, a fate seemingly destined for their fellow English representatives Northampton, Gloucester and London Irish.
Donald, who kicked two penalties, said: "We knew if we didn't get the result today, we would be making up the numbers.
"We played poorly in the second half, but they are a very good French team and we can look at it positively in that we hung on.
"Learning how to win these kind of games is half the thing of it. It was a tough loss against Glasgow last weekend - we stuffed it up.
"I love the concept of the Heineken Cup. We play Leinster next, and what is not to get excited about playing against the defending champions and half the Irish team? I can't wait for it."
Although Bath took charge early on, with wing Olly Woodburn and prop David Flatman scoring tries, Montpellier hit back through the efforts of their Argentinian wing Martin Bustos Moyano.
He scored a try and added eight points from the boot, hauling Montpellier back into contention after they trailed by 13 points early in the second half.
McGeechan added: "We showed in the first half the rugby we can play. Some poor execution let them in a bit, but the character the players showed in the second half pleased me.
"We didn't panic as a team and we worked well under pressure. We looked two yards quicker as a team than we were last week, which got us the advantage we needed at key times in the first half.
"Leinster will be tough. They are used to winning in Europe now, they won pretty comfortably (against Glasgow) today, and we know it will be a really good challenge for us."

- Ingredients A-Z

Ingredients by
Cassata Siciliana
This delightful Italian dessert is really just an assembly job as far as you're concerned, but everyone will think you're very clever!
Serves 6-8
Ingredients |
10 fl oz (275 ml) Marsala wine |
grated zest and juice 1 orange |
7 oz (200 g) Sainsbury's mango and cranberry fruit mix |
2 x 250 g tubs ricotta cheese |
5 fl oz (150 ml) crème fraîche |
2 oz (50 g) chocolate drops |
1 oz (25 g) natural pistachio nuts, roughly chopped |
3 oz (75 g) golden caster sugar |
1 x 175 g pack sponge fingers |
Conversions |
Need help with conversions? |
Equipment |
You will also need a 2 lb (900 g) loaf tin |
Begin by pouring the Marsala and orange juice into a small saucepan and heating gently.
Then add the dried fruits, and remove the pan from the heat to allow them to steep in the juice for half an hour until they have swelled slightly. Then drain them in a sieve set over a bowl to catch the liquid and leave to get cold.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl put the ricotta cheese, crème fraîche, chocolate drops, orange zest, chopped pistachios and sugar, give everything a good stir, then add the drained fruit when it is cold. Now line the base and long sides of the loaf tin with the sponge fingers, dipped first in the reserved Marsala and orange juice and trimmed to fit comfortably.
They need to be put in sugar-side down. Reserve 6 to 8 soaked sponge fingers for the top. After that, any remaining liquid can be sprinkled over the biscuits in the tin. Next, spoon in the ricotta and fruit mixture, patting it down into the tin to remove any air bubbles.
Finally, place the remaining soaked biscuits on top. Cover tightly with clingfilm and refrigerate overnight. Next day, serve cut into thin slices – it doesn't need any accompaniment as it's really yummy as it is.

Health Information
Topic Overview
What are colds?
Everyone gets a cold from time to time. Children get more colds than adults.
Colds usually last 1 to 2 weeks. You can catch a cold at any time of year, but they are more common in late winter and early spring.
There is no cure for a cold. Reference Antibiotics Opens New Window will not cure a cold. If you catch a cold, treat the symptoms.
What are the symptoms?
Lots of different viruses cause colds, but the symptoms are usually the same:
- Runny nose and sneezing
- Red eyes
- Sore throat and cough
- Headaches and body aches
You will probably feel a cold come on over the course of a couple of days. As the cold gets worse, your nose may get stuffy with thicker Reference mucus Opens New Window.
A cold is not the same as the Reference flu (influenza) Opens New Window. Flu symptoms are worse and come on faster. If you have the flu, you may feel very tired. You may also have a fever and shaking chills, lots of aches and pains, a headache, and a cough.
If you feel like you have a cold all the time, or if cold symptoms last more than 2 weeks, you may have allergies or sinusitis. Call your doctor.
What can you do for a cold?
Good home treatment of a cold can help you feel better. When you get a cold:
- Get extra rest. Slow down just a little from your usual routine. You don't need to stay home in bed, but try not to expose others to your cold.
- Drink plenty of fluids. Hot water, herbal tea, or chicken soup will help relieve a stuffy nose and head.
- Take aspirin, ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin), or acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) to relieve aches. Follow the package instructions carefully. If you give medicine to your child, follow what your doctor has told you about the amount to give. Do not give aspirin to anyone younger than 20. It has been linked to Reference Reye syndrome Opens New Window, a serious illness.
- Use a Reference humidifier Opens New Window in your bedroom and take hot showers to relieve a stuffy nose and head. Reference Saline drops Opens New Window may also help thick or dried mucus to drain.
- If you feel mucus in the back of your throat (Reference postnasal drip Opens New Window), gargle with warm water. This will help make your throat feel better.
- Use paper tissues, not handkerchiefs. This will help keep your cold from spreading.
- If your nose gets red and raw, put a dab of petroleum jelly on the sore area.
Using a product containing zinc may help shorten the length of your cold by up to a day.Reference 1 But you have to take the zinc as soon as you have any cold symptoms. In some cases, zinc products that you spray or place into your nose can cause permanent loss of the sense of smell.Reference 2
Don't take cold medicine that uses several drugs to treat different symptoms. For example, don't take medicine that contains both a decongestant for a stuffy nose and a cough medicine. Treat each symptom on its own.
A nasal decongestant spray can help your stuffy nose, but make sure you don't use it for more than 3 days in a row. You could get a "rebound" effect, which makes the mucous membranes in your nose swell up even more.
Cough preparations can cause problems for people who have certain health problems, such as asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure, or an enlarged prostate (BPH). Cough preparations may also interact with sedatives, certain antidepressants, and other medicines. Read the package carefully, or ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you choose. Cough suppressants can stifle breathing. Use them with caution if you are older than 60 or if you have chronic respiratory problems.
Be careful with cold medicines. They may not be safe for young children, so check the label first. If you do give these medicines to a child, always follow the directions about how much to give based on the child's age and weight. For more information, see Reference Quick Tips: Giving Over-the-Counter Medicines to Children.
When should you call a doctor?
Call your doctor if:
- You have trouble breathing.
- You have a fever of 104°F (40°C) or higher.
- You have new symptoms that are not part of a cold, like a stiff neck or shortness of breath.
- You cough up yellow, green, or bloody mucus.
- Mucus from your nose is thick like pus or is bloody.
- You have pain in your face, eyes, or teeth that does not get better with home treatment, or you have a red area on your face or around your eyes.
- Your cold seemed to be getting better after a few days but is now getting worse with new symptoms.
How can you prevent colds?
There are several things you can do to help prevent colds:
- Wash your hands often.
- Be extra careful in winter and when you are around people with colds.
- Keep your hands away from your face. Your nose, eyes, and mouth are the most likely places for germs to enter your body.
- Eat well, and get plenty of sleep and exercise. This keeps your body strong so it can fight colds.
- Do not smoke. Smoking makes it easier to get a cold and harder to get rid of one.

"And suddenly I realised that I was no longer driving the car consciously. I was driving it by a kind of instinct, only I was in a different dimension." -Ayrton Senna
People drive for different reasons. Some, to get from point A to point B. Some, because it's a necessity to them.
Me, I drive because I love it. It's nothing for me to get out at 10pm and drive the back roads for no reason. I do it because I love the feeling of being behind the wheel.
No music.
No phone notifications.
No talking.
Just listening to the rpm of the engine as it hustles along down the road.
No matter if i'm driving the BMW or my trusty Maxima, I love seeing how far the limits are. Driving shouldn't be about getting from one point to another, it's should be about HOW someone gets there and what feeling they have resulting from that drive. Happy, fearful, sad, mad, it does not matter.
Straightaway (breathe)…floor it…hard right coming up (45mph)…downshift and take it at 60mph (kick the tail out and correct), continue and push the car until I am happy. It's the events like that that make me love to drive. Know your vehicle and encourage yourself to push the limits and break your fear of the unknown.
Driving is a drug to me, a drug which no one will ever be able to take away, outlaw, make illegal, or ration.
I am not alone, they are many more like me.
We are here, to drive.

Rumbler Siren
Posted by:
Date: April 13, 2012 09:54PM Rumbler Siren
1Summary » Safety and Health Concerns » The Money Trail » Legal Considerations » New York City Police Department » One thing that is hard to take for me when I go into our cities, is the dam sirens, I have hearing aids and that makes it a 2x hit. any way we need to rethink the siren, I heard somwhere in Japan they started to use bells, can be heard from far has calming efect when need most. So now the Rumbler! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary The Rumber is a siren system for use in police cruisers as a means to catch the attention of motorists with an ear splitting sound that can be heard and felt. Police departments who purchase the devices are promoting the Rumbler as a new high-tech police siren. Its use presents a new form of urban blight where residents are made captive to an intense low frequency noise that is detrimental to public health. The sirens contribute to urban blight, turning communities into ghettos. The siren emits low frequency duplicate tones that according to its manufacturer, Federal Signal Corporation, "have the distinct advantage of penetrating and shaking solid materials allowing vehicle operators and nearby pedestrians to FEEL the sound waves, and perhaps even see their effects through a shaking rearview mirror." Federal Signal Corporation markets the device as an intersection-clearing device in urban environments with heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic. A competitor product called the Howler Low Frequency Tone Siren, from Whelen Engineering, is also designed to produce low frequency noise on emergency vehicles. The siren can be heard and felt from a distance up to 200 feet away. It easily penetrates into nearby homes and apartments even with windows closed. A secondary effect of the Rumbler siren is its ability to set off vibration-sensitive car alarms. In law enforcement parlance, 'Code 3 Response' is a mode of response for a police vehicle responding to a call; it mandates officers to move through traffic with the police cruiser lights flashing and sirens blaring. However, the use of sirens is also used for non-emergency use at the discretion of the officer, even when department policy specifically discourages its use other than emergencies. Not unlike its military cousin, the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), this technology allows police to use sound as a weapon at the push of a button. Rumbler Siren The electronic components that comprise the siren. In addition to a primary siren amplifier and speaker, a secondary amplifier blasts the siren noise through a pair of high output woofers. It uses a safety timer to sound off after ten seconds, but an officer can simply restart the siren at will. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Safety and Health Concerns Noise pollution is unwanted human-created sound that has the effect of being annoying, distracting, painful, or physically harmful. People exposed to noise pollution suffer from hearing loss, sleep deprivation, chronic fatigue, anxiety, hostility, depression and hypertension. World Health Organization, National Institutes of Health, United Nations and numerous scientific and medical publications recognize noise pollution and its deleterious effects. The intense sound caused by the Rumbler siren easily triggers an involuntary stress response commonly known as "fight or flight." This results in the secretion of adrenaline, with ensuing spikes in cardio-respiratory rates, muscle tension, and elevated blood pressure. Vibroacoustic Disease is a cumulative and chronic disease caused by exposure to infrasound. Infrasound is low frequency sound energy that affects the nervous system and prolonged exposure can lead to progressive medical conditions. Federal Signal Corporation issues an explicit warning in its own marketing materials that its "sirens and speakers may cause hearing damage." Whelen Engineering advises operators to wear approved hearing protection. « Top of Page -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Money Trail Federal Signal Corporation is the manufacturer of the Rumbler Siren. They are a supplier of audible and visual signaling, warning equipment, and communications equipment for the industrial marketplace. Federal Signal Corporation is a member of the National Association of Electrical Distributors (NEAD), a trade group. The Whelen Engineering Company, Inc., is the manufacturer of the Howler. They design, develop, and market audio and visual signaling devices primarily for law enforcement, security, and the military. As police departments demonstrate the Rumbler siren to promote itself through local news media, Federal Signal Corporation collects the media placements on its website. The implicit message is that purchasing the Rumbler siren is a means for police to generate headlines. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Legal Considerations While the Rumbler siren is promoted as an intersection-clearing device, most police departments that buy them have no real traffic. The Lower Allen Township in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania has a population of about 17,437 residents, yet their police department purchased Rumbler sirens for its two police cars. Montgomery, Pennsylvania has a population of just 1,695 residents and their police department saw fit to purchase the sirens as well. Washington, D.C. police have 49 cars equipped with the siren. As the department phases in new vehicles and retires its older fleet, the department intends to have all its marked patrol cars equipped with the device by 2012. Over a hundred police departments have purchased the Rumbler device. This is a partial list of municipalities that are known to have deployed the siren: Amarillo, Texas Tulsa, Oklahoma Alexandria, Virginia Springfield, Missouri Reading, Pennsylvania Dauphin, Pennsylvania Montgomery, Pennsylvania Cumberland, Pennsylvania Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Tulsa, Oklahoma is known to have purchased the Howler device for its fleet of ambulances. « Top of Page -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New York City Police Department NYPD Demonstrating the Rumbler Siren In New York City, the NYPD demonstrates the Rumbler siren. The NYPD is considering whether to initiate an "education campaign" so that the public will not be afraid of it. When the NYPD first announced its use of the Rumbler siren, the news media failed to ask any critical questions and largely treated the story as a novelty. The NYPD purchased and installed the equipment with no oversight, no public hearings, and with no evident liability for the massive noise pollution they are about to inflict on citizens, all in the name of public safety. The New York City Council has oversight of the NYPD through the Public Safety Committee, chaired by Peter F. Vallone, Jr. The Speaker of the Council is Christine C. Quinn. To date, they have not commented on the issue. With no further inquiry from legislators, New Yorkers are subjected to bone-rattling noise as the sirens are now in widespread use by the police. The offensive noise contributes to a sense of menace and hostility. For residents who live anywhere near busy thoroughfares and any of the dozens of police precincts around the city and the boroughs, it presents a serious noise nuisance. The Rumbler siren is equipped in 150 police cruisers in lower Manhattan. In one newspaper article, an NYPD official suggested that New Yorkers should take it in stride, "the way New Yorkers do". Evidently, that includes families with babies, young children, the elderly and people who are convalescing. Considering the elevated noise levels New Yorkers endure for lack of adequate noise code enforcement, the hubris expressed by the NYPD is breathtaking. Robert Martinez is the NYPD director of Fleet Services. In an article published in the Wall Street Journal, he claims that the sounds emitted from the device registers lower on the decibel scale than the traditional siren sound. Sirens are designed to emit sound directionally from the front of the vehicle to alert oncoming traffic and pedestrians; the Rumbler uses low-frequency sound that is non-directional. Low-frequency sound energy penetrates windows (including double-paned windows) into residents apartments that can be heard and felt. « Top of Page -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Action Lobby you local legislators against the implementation of the Rumber device. Meet with police officials and discuss the issue of noise pollution from this type of siren. Talk to your neighbors and organize; work with community groups and raise the issue against this type of siren. « Top of Page Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/13/2012 09:56PM by riverhousebill.

Seriously, though, I have seen too many near collisions of oblivious doofs with speeding ambulances to believe this is an inherently bad thing, Bill. Re: Rumbler Siren

Date: April 14, 2012 05:19PM I read an EMT training book years back and the chapter on Abulance driving said the siren and speed are only needed in less than 1percent of the runs if you have a compt EMT crew. It also stated siren and speed somtimes is a sign of Emts not trained well, and in a hurry to dump off at hospital. then It went on to how many Abulances are involed in wrecks, not all just the goofs although no shortage on both fronts I think.
We have a Abulance in my small country town, and every run is speed and siren? Remember the fire trucks years back were mostly bell, and a good bell can be heard as well as a siren, a bell can match the desicible of a siren Edited 1 time(s).

I live in a large, densely populated suburb of Detroit, near both a police station and a firehouse. I am telling you my gut says it seems that fewer people are aware of sirens when driving and that the incidence of near crashes with idiots that literally aren't seeing the flashing lights or that everyone else's car has stopped moving is increasing. I'd be surprised if standard car stereos haven't gotten more deluxe and if this wouldn't explain the trend I think I'm seeing. My casual observations aren't scientific, of course! Re: Rumbler Siren
Posted by:
Date: April 15, 2012 11:59AM If you don't like those boom cars spewing out all base music that it literally shakes the surroundings then you won't like the new sirens. Someday they will be able to just move aside any obstacles!
I think it's an assault (sometimes the military uses the same sound tactics in standoffs) on our health. The typical boom car is obnoxious, and disorienting to my senses. When I heard some months ago they were going to be using those tactics I thought that more accidents will happen due to some drivers being startled, and reacting out of fear and haste. Not only will it cause more harm than good for anything living in its vicinity, but it may send some unstable people over the top. Also, it won't stop those people that don't pull over now for emergency vehicles. That population will continue doing what they do because they have no common sense or concerns for others. Giving out tickets and fines would be a better deterrent. Why not mount cameras on the front of the emergency vehicles and take down license plates just like those traffic cameras are used. Then the rest of us won't be assaulted. Is there a petition somewhere to sign? Love, Prism Visit Olympic Village TNR Feral Cat Community Fundraising webpage. [gogetfunding.com]# Re: Rumbler Siren

Date: April 15, 2012 06:51PM A bell sounds like a good solution to me. Or even the lower pitched sirens, dual-tone sirens. The ear splitting screech of the curent one is too much for my sensitive ears, always has been.
FWIW, I think they go a bit overboard with all the flashing lights too. Does nothing but add to all the confusion of the accident, fire, etc. Re: Rumbler Siren

Also people should be aware that hearing loss is acuumitive every bit you hear over 85 is damageing your ears. My ears are like you would call gone Amry, grateful dead, G.M. motors ect.

Sound is so important. Every animal in the forest fills a specific frequency to create a type of sonic bubble. When human cities impinge upon the forest, certain birds, etc., will start to chirp louder to maintain the bubble... which is integral to being on a little-understood (by mainstream science) fractal level. I am SO HAPPY I don't live in the city anymore. The sirens drove me so mad. They were so constant. I actually, no joke, slept with construction earmuffs most nights because it was the only way I could get any peace (and that, really, is not so peaceful). Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.

East Mississippi recovers from first-half deficits to sweep visiting Northwest |
SCOOBA – The East Mississippi Community College basketball teams both recovered from early double-digit deficits to claim a home divisional sweep over Northwest Mississippi Monday night at EMCC's Keyes T. Currie Coliseum. The Lady Lions won their fourth straight contest with a 57-53 victory over the Northwest women, while the 15th-ranked Lions extended their win streak to seven consecutive games with a 66-59 triumph over the visiting Rangers. In the women's contest, head coach Sharon Thompson's EMCC squad rallied from a 24-10 deficit by scoring nine unanswered points to close the first half trailing only by a bucket (28-26). After the Lady Rangers scored the first five points of the second stanza, the Lady Lions went on a 12-2 run to take their first lead (38-35) of the game at the 13:14 mark. The contest stayed to within a five-point margin the rest of the way, as the Lady Lions never relinquished their lead. With the visitors trailing by three points (53-50) with under a minute remaining, Northwest's Sandricka Bowen misfired on a potential game-tying 3-pointer. EMCC sophomore Kierra Jones collected the rebound and converted both ends of a 1-and-1 opportunity to put the Lady Lions on top by five points with seven ticks left on the game clock. A late Bowen trey and two subsequent free throws by EMCC freshman Kiara Quinones-Noa accounted for the final outcome. Improving to 11-7 overall and maintaining their solid second-place standing at 6-2 within the MACJC North Division, the Lady Lions were led by Jones, a former Starkville product, with 14 points and seven rebounds. Freshman Raven Howard followed with 13 points and seven boards for the winners. Off the bench, sophomore guard Natalie Tate of Columbus added nine timely points on three clutch second-half 3-pointers. Now 6-11 overall and 3-5 in division play, the Northwest women received a game-high 16 points and nine assists from Lanita Futrell. In Monday's nightcap, head coach Mark White's Lions also battled back from an early 14-point deficit (20-6) by running off 13 unanswered points midway through the period that led to a 38-31 halftime advantage in favor of the home team. EMCC went ahead by as many as 11 points (44-33) three minutes into the second period before the Rangers made a 10-1 run to cut the deficit to two points (45-43) by the 12:58 mark. Following a 3-pointer by sophomore guard Deonte Alexander that put the Lions on top 56-50, Northwest briefly reclaimed the lead (57-56) by the 5:19 mark after scoring seven unanswered points. After two more lead changes and missed opportunities by both teams over the next few minutes, EMCC sophomore Jonathan King scored inside to put the Lions on top (60-59) for good with 2:15 left. While holding the visitors scoreless for the final 4:28 of the contest and to without a made field goal for the final 6:05, the Lions sealed their seventh consecutive victory with 4-of-4 free throw shooting down the stretch and a timely baseline drive by sophomore Donovan Walker with 40 seconds left in the game. With five players scoring in double figures, EMCC, now 17-2 overall and 8-0 atop the MACJC's North Division standings, was paced by a double-double effort – 13 points and 15 rebounds - from freshman Millaun Brown. A former West Bolivar High School standout, Brown hit 5-of-6 field goals on the night and collected 13 of his game-high 15 boards in the first half. Walker, a Meridian product, and freshman point guard D.J. Evans of Brandon followed with 12 points apiece for the reigning NJCAA Region 23 champions. Alexander and King each added 11 points to the winning effort. The Northwest men, falling to 9-9 overall and 3-5 in league play, received a game-high 17 points from both A.J. Cunningham and Reggie Fondren. Looking to continue their current win streaks, the East Mississippi basketball teams stay at home to play host to Northeast Mississippi Thursday evening on the Scooba campus. Game times are set for 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. at EMCC's Currie Coliseum. |
