NEW YORK — Witnesses repeatedly described the scene Monday at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, where two bomb blasts ripped through a crowd of spectators, as unimaginable. Security experts called Friday's citywide "shelter-in-place" order unprecedented, and onlookers could only compare the siege in Watertown, where soldiers, SWAT teams, helicopters and armored Humvees cordoned off a large swath of the neighborhood, to a movie.
But emergency management personnel in the Boston region had not only been imagining such a complex scenario, they had been rehearsing it.
Over the past two years, area hospitals had sent teams of doctors and nurses to citywide training exercises and run internal drills for mass casualty incidents like bombs, plane crashes, and fires. Vivid, citywide disaster simulations – conducted in 2011 and 2012 – put hundreds of officials through hypothetical 24-hour crisis situations. Boston is one of four U.S. cities whose all-hazards plan has been accredited by EMAP, the national emergency planning evaluation program.
"Even local businesses these days have response plans in place," says Rick Nelson, a veteran of the National Counterterrorism Center and a senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
So when two pressure-cooker bombs exploded on Monday afternoon, Boston's emergency operations centers knew what to do. Emergency medical personnel affixed tourniquets – Boston's first responders all carry these battlefield dressings, though many ambulances and hospitals nationally do not – to bloodied limbs. The most serious casualties were distributed among area hospitals, a technique known to optimize critical care during disaster events. Boston Marathon medical tents set up for fatigued runners were transformed within minutes into trauma centers. Police officers took up positions to keep spectators off the course and turned back runners approaching the finish line.
As the medical response unrolled, a parallel series of preventative measures were put into action. Service on Boston's Green Line, which has a station at Copley Square near the scene of the attacks, was suspended between Kenmore and Park Street. Security checks were installed at local transit hubs. The FAA temporarily grounded all flights at Logan International Airport.
The scene on Boylston Street was an admirable display of bravery, skill and calm by first responders and volunteers. But less remarked, and equally remarkable, was the value of the city's foresight. Few U.S. cities could have been better prepared for the events of this week.
"Everything that you saw happen within seconds of the explosion," says James Baker, the president of security consultancy Cytel Group, "was all because someone thought they should be prepared for that." Baker would know. In the past 24 months, he has helped Boston run two massive, 24-hour worst-case scenario simulations that bore no small resemblance to the situation unfolding this afternoon in Watertown.

Over the past decade, the Department of Homeland Security has funneled billions of dollars towards the protection of U.S. cities. Boston is one of the DHS's "Tier 1" U.S. metro areas — in DHS's view, one of the country's ten most likely targets for terrorism. The Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), the largest part of the Homeland Security Grant Program, distributes half a billion dollars annually to 31 U.S. metros, and sent $11 million to Boston in the 2012 fiscal year.
The Metro Boston Homeland Security Region (MBHSR) — nine cities including Boston — directs that money into an array of local counterterrorism programs. In the past few years, the MBHSR has upgraded over 5,000 portable radios for first responders and installed a communication system inside the tunnels of the Boston T.
Part of that money must go towards live drills, so over the past couple years, Boston has conducted two citywide disaster simulations with Cytel Group's Urban Shield, using the preparation and after-action reports from the first trial (in May 2011) to improve the city's preparedness in the second, in November 2012. (The city also hosted an emergency management summit last August.)
U.S. cities have been doing disaster drills for decades, and some exercises — such as Detroit's World War II black-out drills or Portland's 1955 "Operation Greenlight" — have been of some magnitude. But in the last decade, the trend in disaster drills has moved from the purely local exercise to the vertically integrated simulation that coordinates a reponse across the different levels of government. "What is different," Nelson says, "is the range and depth of missions they're responding to."
Urban Shield, which Baker started in 2007, is one of several drill programs that have sprung up over the last decade in response to DHS grants for thorough emergency preparedness training. In 2010, it received UASI's honorable mention for best overall program.
In Boston, Urban Shield was sufficiently disruptive and expansive that Mayor Thomas Menino's felt obliged to ask residents to remain calm:
"Urban Shield: Boston will run for a 24-hour period. As a result residents in the area may hear simulated gunfire, observe officers responding to simulated emergencies, or see activity in the Boston Harbor. Each scenario will be run multiple times, and organizers urge residents not to be alarmed."
The drills, which included hostage situations, HazMat incidents and a movie theater shooting, brought together emergency officials from the city, state and federal government, as well as from the Boston Police, SWAT teams, the Fire Department, EMS, local hospitals, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, the Coast Guard. All in all, there were over 600 participants in the November drill, from over fifty different departments and agencies.
"What the Urban Shield program does is test it all at the same time – bomb squads working, swat teams working, fire, HazMat, search and rescue, command centers activated, all your radio systems, hospitals activated – everyone's kind of working together," says Baker, who worked closely with the city to execute the simulation. "That's where you start to find your gaps – who can't speak to whom on the radio. You identify the real problems when you get everyone together."
The drills are intended to be strikingly lifelike. Urban Shield has worked with Strategic Operations, a Hollywood effects company that also helps prepare army medics for the battlefield. (Their disaster scenario staff, Baker says, include an amputee.) With a generous helping of moulage, their drills aim to force officials to confront both the logistical and atmospheric challenges of a disaster.
"The leadership is outstanding," Baker says, referring to Boston. "I have found that they are proactive and forward thinking – they invested a lot of time and energy in getting ready for something that they never thought would happen."
Speaking of the Urban Shield program in a video released in September, Daniel Linskey, superintendent-in-chief of the Boston Police Department, sounded oddly prescient. "You have to train for things that may be out of the ordinary," he said, "because you can't wait for them to happen to be ready."

Nationwide, the hierarchy of emergency management can be staggeringly complicated, and the varying power structures within U.S. states — think of how L.A. County contains 88 cities, while New York City contains five counties — make it difficult to generalize about who calls the shots.
For example: Boston has an Emergency Operations Center run out the city's Office of Emergency Management. Massachusetts has a State Emergency Operations Center, run out of the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency. The MBHSR (which runs the Boston Regional Intelligence Center) is a federal jurisdiction that contains nine cities.
What began as the Cold War-era Office of Civil Defense has long since evolved into alphabet soup, which poses two related problems for disaster planners: first, how do all these agencies communicate when something goes wrong, and second, and more importantly, how does the DHS begin to regulate and standardize city responses, making it easier for the federal government to lock up with local jurisdictions during crises?
Since 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, experts say, collaboration and communication between agencies and jurisdictions has been one DHS's highest priorities. "Government agencies are better at talking to each other, coordinating, cooperating," says Stevan Weine, a psychiatry professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago who studies counterterrorism and resilience. "They're better at partnering with other entities, local communities, the business community."
Though every city has an all-hazard plan by one name or another, it can be difficult to predict how various authorities will interact in a time of crisis. "Coordination is key," Nelson says. Boston's MBHSR, like many regional DHS jurisdictions, is working to implement the National Incident Management Program (NIMS), a national framework for disaster reporting and response.
"When you talk about disasters, it's all about partnerships," says Ken Kondo, a program specialist at the Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management. Training exercises are indispensable. Last month, Kondo says, L.A. County performed an exercise in response to an imagined 7.8-magnitude earthquake, working out hypotheticals with the National Guard, the Red Cross and dozens of city and county departments in between.
Not every effort at integration across departments has gone so smoothly. In 2003, DHS began to develop a network of "fusion centers," cross-agency intelligence outlets designed to assist law enforcement, public safety, emergency response, and other regional authorities in "preventing, protecting against, and responding to crime and terrorism." The program has had its growing pains: a 2012 Senate investigation found that fusion centers mostly gathered "irrelevant, useless or inappropriate intelligence," and often spent money frivolously.
The Boston Regional Intelligence Center (BRIC), one of 77 U.S. fusion centers, was not available for comment this week. But Mike Sena, the President of the National Fusion Center Association, who defended the program after the Senate report, said the BRIC was designed to operate in exactly the sort of inter-agency crisis situation occurring in Boston "This is what fusion centers were built for," Sena told the Wall Street Journal.
The DHS has also strived to institute a system of best practices across cities. According to Cytel's James Baker, the impetus for this is obvious: "If we're doing it one way, and you're doing it another way, we should figure out which way is better."
But given the variations in the power structure, not to mention the geographic and structural differences between cities, a standard municipal operating procedure is, for now, beyond reach. "Every city has its unique requirements," Nelson says. Additionally, resource allocation varies widely. (New York City receives nearly one-third of UASI funding; many of the country's populous metros do not receive any at all.)
FEMA's "Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101" [PDF], released in 2010, tentatively positions itself as a textbook for emergency operations plans — while acknowledging the critical differences between cities, and the virtues of bottom-up disaster planning (my italics): "This Guide recognizes that many jurisdictions across the country have already developed EOPs that address many emergency management operations. Therefore, CPG 101 establishes no immediate requirements, but suggests that the next iteration of all EOPs follow this guidance."
Above, a "functional" emergency operations plan format, which FEMA estimates is the most commonly used EOP. Courtesy FEMA "Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101."
The Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP) further encourages a convergence of local and state planning strategies. Established in 2003 under the guidance of DHS and FEMA, EMAP is the country's first accreditation program for all-hazards plans — the first comparative body that holds all municipal, state, and university emergency plans to a common, respective standard. In November, under the leadership of Rene Fielding, director of the Mayor's Office of Emergency Management, Boston became one of only four cities nationwide to receive EMAP accreditation.
DHS-funded programs like Urban Shield also help spread best practices between cities — as they move from region to region, they share lessons learned. (Two of the EMAP-accredited cities, Boston and Austin, have also held Urban Shield events.) Each Urban Shield simulation also draws dozens of professionals from other, smaller cities, who come to watch and learn.
• • • • •
Municipal departments also study each other's tactics. While a city like Boston might have a hard time learning from New York City — the world's most sophisticated police force is actually too good to be helpful (they have over a dozen foreign operatives, for example, and in some countries rivaling the CIA for intelligence) — it can draw lessons from elsewhere.
For U.S. cities, Israel is a particular area of focus. In October, officials from ten U.S. police departments (though not Boston) traveled to Israel to study counterterrorism, security and resilience. And Israel is a case study for more than just police: Mass General Hospital in Boston, which received dozens of victims from the Marathon bombings, had previously consulted Israeli doctors to "revamp their disaster-response planning."
Resilience, in particular, is one area in which the Israelis excel — and one that U.S. authorities have been eager to import to U.S. disaster areas.
"When you think about political violence, there's 'How do we stop it?', and if we can't stop it, 'How do we respond?'" says Victor Asal, director of the Homeland Security Certificate concentration at the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy. "One of the components is resilience – how do you get back to the way things were. And that's different than finding out who did it."
"In Jerusalem, when a terrorist attack happens," he adds, "if you walk by six or 12 hours later, you wouldn't know it. They clean it up and they get people going."
The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg, writing in Bloomberg View on Tuesday, also cited Israeli resilience. A decade ago, arriving at a Jerusalem cafe the day after a terrorist attack there killed seven people, he found the scene nearly indistinguishable from any other day. "There is no satisfactory solution to the problem of mass anonymous violence," he writes. "As a result, resilience becomes the paramount response. Keeping your wits about you as individuals, as a government and as a culture is what counts."
Whether today's Boston lockdown, prompted by the manhunt for Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, constitutes a necessary security tactic or a failure of resilience is already the subject of considerable debate. "A shelter-in-place of this magnitude is unheard of," says Nelson, who could not think of a parallel occurance in recent U.S. history. It might be the first time since the Watts Riots of 1965 that so large an urban area has been placed on lockdown.

Corruption of your SQL Server database can lead to the situation where its contents are destroyed in case the issue is left unattended when the recovery was still possible to be executed.

Overview On SQL Server Database Integrity Check
Sometimes users may have numerous of databases in their SQL Server. However, while working on database they may face a database integrity issue, as there can be integrity on several parts of a database i.e. Table, database, etc.
In general, the integrity of SQL Server database task includes the complete checking allocation as well as structure of integrity of the entire object in the stated database. It contains various checking database indexes as discussed below.
Determine Requirements
Firstly, check all the databases at high level periodically for the SQL Server database consistency errors. If there, is a large database then, check it table by table. Moreover, running all these on a set of schedule, it is important to run, as there are the chances of system failure, disk drive failures, etc.
If the database is small then, it is easy to run all the checks across the whole database. In SQL Server 2000 and 2005, all the maintenance plans are the only way for performing DBCC CHECKDB that makes easy in checking the complete database. As it is already discussed above that, it is a part of normal database maintenance process. If the user is not running the checks for SQL Server database integrity or if they are not sure then, take a time for implementation of all these procedures.
Useful Commands
There are mainly four different commands, which can be used for checking different levels of consistency that are there in the database as mentioned:
- DBCC CHECKALLOC– Check the consistency of structures of disk space allocation, which are there for specified database.
- DBCC CHECKCATALOG– Check for consistency of catalog, which is therein specified database.
- DBCC CHECKDB– Check for consistency of catalog that is in specified database.
- DBCC CHECKTABLE– Check for the integrity of all pages as well as structures, which makes indexed and table view.
DBCC CHECKDB command is widely used by almost all of the users as it checks the complete database. Whereas all the other options are useful for the quick spot-checking. All these options can be used for checking the consistency of particular portion of data and repairing any sort of corruption, which is found.
Ad Hoc at the most basic level of all the commands can be executed interactively against a database. It is always suggested to run these commands during the off hours as these commands issue some problem while executing.
Maintenance Plans as discussed above that SQL Server 2000 and 2005 both can set the maintenance plans for running DBCC CHECKDB command. This is the only way to have the base options of maintenance plans.
Custom Jobs can be created on its own SQL Server Agent jobs for running the desired commands against the database.
The most beneficial time to run these commands is during the low usage times. SQL Server Agent is the best way to schedule jobs during any time. If the hardware is stable then, there is not any issue for running these commands. If user is facing regular hardware problems then, it is the best way for running all these checks frequently.
There are many installations where the plans of maintenance are setup and SQL Server database integrity check is run. The problem is that no one checks the output that results in the corruption issues. For this, users need to check for the output from the commands that make sure that there are no issues. This can be done by reporting option with maintenance plans and by checking SQL Server logs error. Every time, one DBCC command is run and an entry level is made in SQL Server error log.
Handling Issues
If there is corruption in the database then, users want to have the correct action for the elimination for these issues. This is done by utilizing the option with DBCC CHECKLOC, DBCC CHECKDB, and DBCC CHECKTABLE.
After understanding, the users issue that they face while checking for the SQL Server data integrity. In the above discussion, we have discussed the way for SQL Server database integrity check that makes easy for users in resolving this issue.
Troubleshooting "SQL Server Database Is In Recovery Pending State"
Users of SQL Server Database must be aware of Recovery states, that occurs when there is unintentional dropped SQL table or any other components that needs to be restored. The SQL Server Database is in recovery pending state at situations like restart of SQL Server, offline & online state of database or while restoring database from a backup. However, if there is any issue during this recovery process, error can be Read the rest of this entry »
SQL Server 2016 Row Level Security and its Implementation
Security has been always one the main concern by MS SQL Server. All the releases of SQL Server have some new security feature or enhancement of an existing feature. Similarly, the latest edition of SQL Server 2016 has many security features such as Always Encrypted, enhancement of Transparent Data Encryption, Dynamic Data Masking, and Row-Level Security are added.
Alwayson Availability Groups for Disaster Recovery Solutions
There are many users, who are not aware about disaster recovery planning with always-on availability groups. Even they do not know the terms that come in the utilization of Always-On Availability groups for disaster recovery planning. In the following section, we will discuss about the always-on availability groups for resolving the disaster Read the rest of this entry »
How to Find the Last Inserted Record in SQL Server
When the users of SQL Server stores data in table of their database, they use an identity column as primary key. The identity column will increase its value automatically whenever new row is added. However, in some cases users may need to determine the last inserted record in database. The blog will be explaining some of the possible ways on how to find the last inserted record in SQL Server.
Determine Last Inserted Record in SQL Server
While we work with the table in SQL Server database, we set identity column that act as an auto increment column in table to increase column ID value whenever new record is inserted. Suppose we want to insert a name of the employee in the table 'Employees', we will do that using the below command:
INSERT INTO Employees (FirstName) VALUES ('Mellisa')
Now, in order to get the lasted inserted record ID, we can use the following options:
- It returns the last IDENTITY value produced on a connection, regardless of the table that produced the value and of the scope of the statement that produced the value.
- It is used to give the last identity value generated by the statement.
- If the statement did not affect any tables with identity columns, this command returns NULL
- If the table contains multiple rows generating multiple identity values, @@IDENTITY returns the last identity value generated.
- Though @@IDENTITY is limited to current session, it is not limited to current scope. Even if trigger on the table caused identity to be created, you will get identity that was last created, even if it is a trigger.
- As the name suggests, it will return the last identity produced on a connection and by statement in same scope, regardless of the table that produced the value.
- It is limited to the current scope and in current session as well.
- It will return the last identity that was explicitly created, rather than any identity created by trigger or user-defined function.
- SELECT IDENT_CURRENT('TableName')
- It returns the last identity value produced in a table, regardless of the connection and the scope of the statement that created the value.
- It is not limited by scope and session but is limited to a specified table.
- It will return the identity value generated for the specific table in any session or any scope.
In the blog, we have discussed about some of the approaches through which we can find the last inserted record in SQL Server database. Among the methods SCOPE_IDENTITY() is recommended as it avoids the potential issues associated with addition of trigger while returning identity of the recently inserted record. The manual methods of determining last inserted record using these commands may sometimes be time taking and difficult for non-technical users. One of the easy alternative for the same purpose is to use a third party tool to view SQL Server transaction log that is used to read and analyze SQL Server Log File transactions that will give detailed analysis of all transactions like insert, delete, update etc.
Methods to Repair Corrupted MDF and LDF Files
MS SQL Server is a relational database management system that is used for storing and retrieval of data when requested by other applications. The SQL database mainly comprises of three files- MDF, NDF and LDF. The first two files from the primary and secondary database of SQL Server and the latter stores the log database of SQL server database transactions. While the data files and the log file are accessed by a common server, these files do not share the same location for their storage. Both the data files and the log file are associated with SQL server; in this blog however, we will restrict our discussion to how to repair corrupted .mdf and .ldf files.
Primary & Log Database of SQL Server
Primary database aka Main Database File (MDF) as the name suggests is the main database file of SQL Server that are associated with other files. There exists only a single MDF file for every SQL Server database, which stores data items like triggers, views, stored procedures, etc. It would not be wrong to say that MDF file is the primary element for administration of SQL database.
The LDF (Log Database File) store the entire log information of the transactions or activities carried out in the SQL Server. They play a very crucial role in the restoration of SQL server data in cases of data disaster. The size limitation of LDF is decided at the time of the database designing. Information related to records updation, record deletion, insertion of new record, etc.
Corruption in MDF and LDF Files
Maintaining the database integrity of SQL server is the top priority of the users as any mishap can lead to loss of data that at times cannot be recovered easily. There can be umpteen reasons, which can end the MDF and LDF files in a corrupted state. Some of the reasons for MDF and LDF corruption are:
- The biggest reason behind the corruption of MDF and LDF files is the storage size. In case the data exceeds the limit of MDF and LDF file, corruption is likely to occur.
- In case the SQL server database is modified during the DROP operation, there are great chances of MDF and LDF files corruption.
- Hardware issues such as problem in the hard drive sector storing the SQL database, may lead to corruption of the database.
- Virus intrusion is also an important factor when it comes to corruption of MDF and LDF files.
Manual Solutions to Repair Corrupted MDF and LDF Files
In order to repair a corrupt MDF and LDF file, DBCC CHECKDB command can be used. It recovers the data from a corrupt SQL database file that has been damaged due reason such as logical corruption. This involves running an executable code in the SQL server in order to repair corrupted MDF and LDF files.
Note: Before running the DBCC CHCKDB command, the backup of the existing database should be taken.
In case the repair process fails and the backup of the MDF and LDF files does not exist, the user will not be able to restore the database back to its original state and hence will end up in having a corrupt MDF and LDF file.
Alternate Solution to Repair Corrupted MDF and LDF Files
Regarding the drawbacks of the manual procedure to repair corrupted MDF and LDF files, third party solutions are preferred over them. One such commercial utility that can be deployed for repair corrupted MDF and LDF files is SQL Server Restore Database Manager. The software recovers the entire data from corrupt MDF and LDF files and save it in SQL compatible scripts or directly in SQL server database.

The Los Alamos Derby Dames will get a chance to prove whether practice makes perfect as they head to Las Cruces this weekend for a rematch with the Crossroads City Derby Las Santas.
The team has not competed since May 27, a game which was also against Crossroads City.
That match did not go well for the Derby Dames, who ultimately fell 325-100. The match took place at the Los Alamos County Ice Rink.
One thing to consider heading into this rematch is the trouble Los Alamos had with the defensive pressure of the Las Santas.
On the offensive end, the team struggled to shed blocks, while on the defense the team struggled to contain the opposition's jammers.
The bigger, stronger Las Santas proved to be far too much for the less-experienced Derby Dames, who continually tried to push their way through blocks but appeared to be running into a brick wall time and time again.
As the team treks south, they will be hoping for much different results, with hopes that the previous experience has taught them what it takes to be successful.
This weekend's match will take place at the Meerscheidt Recreational Center, the home of the Las Santas.
Gates will open at 7 p.m., and the match is set to begin at 8 p.m.
Uncle Sam will once again make an appearance on the streets of Los Alamos this Fourth of July as the YMCA hosts its annual Firecracker Fun Run and Walk.
The event starts and ends in the parking lot of the YMCA, located on Iris Street. The run will begin at 8 a.m.
All kinds of different participants will take part, including runners, walkers, dog walkers, people with strollers and people dressed up in a variety of different costumes, embracing the holiday spirit of the event.
A number of prizes will be available at the event, in addition to the 5K, according to the YMCA's Sports and Adventure Director Jeremy Smith.
The top male and female finishers will both receive free day passes to Ojo Caliente Hot Springs.
The top male and female finishers over the age of 60 will both receive gift cards to the Secret City Kitchen.
The person with the best costume will win free bagels for a year from Ruby K's Bagel Café.
New this year will also be a competition for the first stroller to cross the finish line.
According to Smith, to be eligible, the stroller must have a baby inside. It cannot be an empty stroller and it cannot be carrying a dog or other pet.
The winner of that competition will win a $50 gift card to Amazon.
Several members of the Los Alamos Aquatomics swim team dominated the competition this past weekend at the 2017 Nick Nogar Memorial Open, continuing a summer-long theme of success.
Much like in previous meets, standouts for the Aquatomics included Andy Corliss, Sophia Pieck and Owen McLaughlin, as all three were the top point-earners in their age groups.
Corliss, who competes in the 11-and-12-year-old division, came away victorious in five events.
Pieck, who competes in the 9-and-10-year-old division, earned first place in four events.
McLaughlin, who competes in the 8-and-under division, won six of his events.
The team also had several other top competitors throughout the two-day event.
Kohynn Young earned the second-highest number of points in the 8-and-under girls division while competing in seven total events.
Also in the same division, Sophia Saenz and Michelle Lo were top-five point earners.
In the 9-and-10-year-old girls division, Marlee Katko finished as the second-highest point earner behind Pieck.
Allison Amrani and Emily McLaughlin were also top-five point earners in the same division.
A group of Los Alamos High School athletes showed this week that kindness and respect could be taught to young children in a variety of ways.
Four members of the LAHS football team, Levi Guarello, Justin Gilbert, Arturo Rodriguez and Chris Pittman, came to Safety Town to use their experience as being part of a team to help the kids understand how they should be treating each other.
"When you guys are out here, you don't want to be pushing each other, shoving each other," Rodriguez said to the kids during the first of three sessions during the day. "You want to make sure you're sharing the playground with everybody and that you guys are playing nice. Everybody has a chance to play with each other."
The athletes also taught the kids the value of inclusion, encouraging them to actively seek out people who look to be alone, and invite them to join your group.
They felt that it was important to begin instilling these values into the kids now because they are skills that will be useful throughout their lives, not just during their years in school.
After talking to the kids for a few minutes about the way they should be treating their peers, they took the kids down to the playground to test out what they had just learned through play.
The University of New Mexico has announced the passing of former golf coach Dick McGuire.
A Mangum, Oklahoma native, McGuire passed away from widespread metastatic cancer on June 23.
McGuire graduated from Albuquerque High School in 1945 and enrolled at UNM.
He became the Lobos' top golfer and a three-year letterman. He received his degree in Secondary Education in 1952.
Upon graduation, McGuire launched his coaching career at Highland High School where his golf teams posted a 28-3 match play record and won two state titles in his first and only two seasons at the school.
Born in 1927, McGuire began an amazing coaching run at UNM beginning in 1954.
He was head men's golf coach from 1954-77, recording 38 team championships, 10 of which were conference titles, and 41 times he had individuals claim medalist honors.
In 1956, McGuire started the UNM women's golf program with the Lobos' first women's golfer Patti Howard Olliges.
McGuire was the Head Professional and Director of Golf from 1954-87 and directed numerous high profile tournaments hosted by UNM, including NCAA Championships and the William H. Tucker Invitational 22 times.
He also helped supervise the construction of the UNM South Golf Course.
More than 1,900 youth, antlerless elk licenses will go on sale through the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish's Online License System on July 5 at 10 a.m.
The sale is designed to encourage youth hunting and includes almost 1,500 licenses for hunters using any legal weapon and 390 licenses for hunters using a muzzleloader or bow.
Licenses will be sold online only on a first-come, first-served basis. To purchase a license, customers will need to log in to their Online License System account at wildlife.state.nm.us.
Eligibility requirements:
•For the first 14 days, the sale is open only to N.M. resident youths who have applied in the current license year for one or more draw hunts for deer, elk, antelope, bighorn sheep, oryx or ibex and were not successful for any hunt.
Please note that the purchase of a leftover draw hunt for deer counts as a successful deer application.
•Must have a valid Hunter Education certification.
•Must be under 18 years old on the opening day of hunt.
Beginning on July 19 at 10 a.m., the sale will open to all eligible youths in the area, regardless of residency, who did not draw a 2016-17 elk license, whether they applied or not.
Matt Charles and Shane Treadaway finished as the two winners of the Atomic Man Duathlon, held in Los Alamos County this past weekend.
Charles, who is from Albuquerque, was the winner of the Fat Man Olympic distance race. Treadaway, also from Albuquerque, came out on top in the Little Boy sprint distance race.
In total, 65 people competed in the race including eight sets of two-man relays.
According to Mike Engelhardt, the president of the Triatomics Multisport Club that organized the event, participation increased by 12 people from last year's race.
He credited much of the increase of the race-organizing skills of Tad Hughes, who has been in charge of the race for the past two years.
"He has the skill and knowledge necessary to successfully organize a race that the rest of us just don't have, so we are very fortunate to have him on board," Engelhardt said.
Engelhardt participated in the event in the Little Boy race, where he finished third.
He said the most fun part of the competition was the back-and-forth battle between himself and runner-up Scott Valdez, from Dixon.
The Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce is holding the annual Chamber Golf Tournament Benefitting United Way of Northern New Mexico Aug. 18 at the Los Alamos County Golf Course.
Early registration is $400 per foursome until Aug. 4. After that date registration is $500 per foursome.

Check-in for the tournament begins at 7:30 a.m. while breakfast is served. The tournament begins with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. and is followed by lunch, awards, and door prizes at 12:30 p.m. or end of play.
The tournament is a four-person scramble and will feature a few prize and contest holes. Mulligans will be available for a small fee.
The Chamber Golf Tournament is an awesome opportunity to wrap up your workweek by having fun while raising funds for a good cause. Players can also do a little business networking at the same time.
The Los Alamos Triatomics Multisport Club hosted its second Splash N Dash of the summer this week.
The event gives athletes from around the area a chance to test themselves on land and in the water.
Athletes of all ages and abilities came to the Splash N Dash, which began at the Larry R. Walkup Aquatic Center.
There were several different courses available to the competitors depending on their abilities.
Two people could also team up for a relay.
For the heartiest competitors, the course included a 400-yard swim followed by a three-mile run.
The shorter course included a 200-yard swim followed by a 1.9 mile run.
Young kids had the option of doing a 100-yard swim followed by a 1.3 mile run.
Competitors are informed of their finishing times, but there is no prize for winning.
Time is kept as a way of letting the racers keep track of their progress throughout the year, not for competition purposes.
There will be two more Splash N Dash events this summer, on July 5 and July 19, both of which will begin at the Aquatic Center.
Registration begins at 6:15 p.m.
In addition, the Triatomics host a time-trial race every Tuesday evening that the public is welcome to attend.
Charles McMillian, defensive passing game coordinator and safeties coach, has stepped down from his post after three seasons to become the first head coach at St. Francis Episcopal, a new prep high school in the Houston area, announced head football coach Bob Davie.
McMillian was a key factor in helping UNM's improved defense. The team recorded just four interceptions prior to his taking over as the defensive passing game coordinator.
Since then, they have recorded 33, and the safeties have exactly half of all UNM interceptions over the last two seasons. Last year UNM's passing defense shaved over 20 yards off its average from a year ago, down to 222.3 yards per game.
Overall, that defense helped UNM to a school record-tying 16 wins over the last two years, and a school record 11 conference wins over that same span.
"It's really the perfect opportunity for my family," said McMillian. "I have always wanted to be a head coach at the high school level. It will be a chance to take many of the things I've learned from New Mexico and my other coaching stops and implement them with a brand-new high school program. It's a very exciting time."

Giraffes in general or a particular breed? I know of 3 types in Kenya - Reticulated, Masai, and Rothschild. You could always stay at Giraffe Manor in Nairobi if you want to get close up and personal with them.
Yes we already have decided that we would like to go to Giraffe Manor but we would also like to see them in the wild and are not sure where is the best place.

There is a difference between the Giraffe Center - w/ Rothschild giraffe and open to the public (fee) and Giraffe Manor on the same grounds, a small boutique manor house, very expensive and often sold out a year in advance.
There are Rothschild giraffe to be found at Lake Nakuru. Reticulated are found at the northern parks, specifically Samburu but some others up that way. Masai giraffe most every other park/reserve.
Sometimes you see only a few, other times might be as many at 20-30 moving across the plains or just sitting down and getting a rest off those long legs. The largest number I've seen were on the Yalle Conservancy, northeast of the Mara North Conservancy... I lost count.
But as most everywhere that game roams freely, no guarantee from day-to-day exactly where and the number.
Giraffe (twiga) are my favorite.
Namibia has huge numbers of giraffes. We saw herds upwards of 15-20 many times each day. We probably averaged 100+ giraffes per day on about 10-20 sightings per day.
I would imagine many places have them. Serengeti, Lake Nakuru and Mara are bound to have large numbers. If you want an easy trip and an almost guarantee to see a huge variety of game (including giraffe), then the watering holes in Namibia is probably the cheapest and easiest. You'll see 50-150 per day easy.
Having said that, I am headed to TZ twice in the next 10 months....but you asked about the whole of Africa and giraffes.
You can also visit the Wileli conservancy in Naivasha. I went visiting in Sept and we went for a nature walk where you get up close with lots of Giraffe and other wild animals.
tsavo east in Kenya -Africa
I'd recommend the Maasai Mara region first of all (no specific part of the ecosystem, but we saw very large numbers in Siana last year, east of Sekenani gate). I agree with donmarkn, Tsavo East has a *lot* of Maasai giraffe.
Two conservancies that are new to me have been mentioned in this thread - Yalle, northeast of Mara North and Wileli at Naivasha. mkwetu, I've just done a search for Wileli, and thanks for alerting me to it. 4sandi could you specify where Yalle is more exactly, or which camps/lodges are within its boundaries.
Richard Trillo
One of the most favorite among the African wild animals is the giraffe. It's one of the most popular animals in the zoos, with so many people milling around to get a glimpse. But what about in Africa? Where are the best places in Africa to see wild giraffes in their natural habitat?
Right now, the wild giraffes are under watch since they are a threatened species. It's because of man's eating into their habitat and the hunting that is being done to the African animals. But in West Africa, the tourism boom is helping the African people earn more money than they can get through hunting. This at least has ensured the wild giraffes will flourish.
Kenyas National parks are highly recommend to girreffe lovers for its three Beautiful Species that is The Rothschild , Reticulated and the Maasai Giraffes: Nairobi National Park and Lake Nakuru Park in Kenya are among the best places to go. The famous Masai Mara National Reserve which is dwarfed by Mt. Kilimanjaro, the only place in Africa where there is snow all year-round. The highest mountain in Africa attracts tourists, who also fund the conservation of the wild animals, foremost among them the giraffes, by allowing their habitats to flourish and not become decimated as the others have become.
Niger is one place in Africa which is a good place to see the wild giraffes. In fact, this is a place where man and animal have formed a symbiotic relationship of sorts. In the Yeni and Haoukoussa villages, the wild giraffes live side by side with the villagers. It's become a usual sight to see giraffe grazing while the villagers are working in the fields. This unusual relationship came about because of a conservation project that was started a few years ago that helps the villagers care for and watch over these gentle giants. This has uplifted the villagers in ways no one even thought possible.
Among the more popular places to head to when the wild giraffe is being stalked by photographers is the Serengeti, which is Tanzania's national park. With the savannas that are the natural habitat of the acacia, numerous herds graze in plains that reach as far as the eye can see. There are other plains animals in the national park as well, with the zebras and the wildebeest leading the pack.
Known forever as the setting of Hemingway's "Green Hills of Africa" is Lake Manyara National Park. It's possible to ditch jeeps and safari trucks here and take walking safaris instead. Many wild animals can be seen here, from the wild giraffes to the hippo, elephant, buffalo, and the black rhino. Of course, one must be careful of predators like lions and leopards that also have free rein of the park. Many people also opt to watch the animals come to the lake at night to take some water. In the daytime, the lake is just as decorated with numerous flocks of pink flamingos around the water.
Near the famous Victoria Falls in South Africa is the Zambezi River. This is home to the Matetsi Game Lodge in Zimbabwe where not only do the wild giraffe come to the river but numerous birds, hippos, and elephants do, too. Leopards and lions, though, aren't that numerous in that area.

NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Inc's P/B ratio for today is calculated as follows:
|P/B Ratio
|Share Price
|Book Value per Share (Q: Sep. 2017)
* All numbers are in millions except for per share data and ratio. All numbers are in their local exchange's currency.
It can also be calculated from the numbers for the whole company:
|P/B Ratio
|Market Cap (M)
|(Total Equity
|Preferred Stock)
A closely related ratio is called Price-to-Tangible-Book. The difference between Price-to-Tangible-Book and Price-to-Book Ratio is that book value other than intangibles are used in the calculation.
Unlike valuation ratios relative to the earning power such as PE Ratio, PS Ratio or Price-to-Free-Cash-Flow, the Price-to-Book Ratio measures the valuation of the stock relative to the underlying asset of the company.
The Price-to-Book Ratio works the best for the businesses that earn most of their profit from their assets, e.g. banks and insurance companies.
Some businesses have very light assets, such as software companies or insurance agencies. The Price-to-Book Ratio does not work well for these companies. Some companies even have negative equity, so the Price-to-Book Ratio cannot be applied to them.

The Newborn Screening (NBS) Clinical Care Coordination Program seeks to decrease the morbidity and mortality of infants born in Texas through customer-oriented, high quality newborn screening follow-up, case management and outreach education.
Texas newborns are screened for more than 50 conditions through a test from a few drops of blood on a card. For many of these conditions, every minute counts. That's why it is critical that the state laboratory receives the completed bloodspot cards as soon as possible. The 5-minute video, "More Than Drops On a Card," features two Texas families. They share their stories of the importance of collecting timely, good quality specimens.
The Newborn Screening Program provides educational materials at no cost. Brochures and other publications are available in English and Spanish for healthcare providers, parents, and medical staff.
To view and order free publications related to:
You also can call (512) 776-3957 to order publications.
Effective May 2015, all babies born in Texas are screened for 24 secondary conditions that can cause developmental delays, major illness or even death. Previously, the blood spot screening included only 29 core conditions. This increased the number of conditions screened through a blood test analyzed at the state's public health laboratory in Austin to now total 53 conditions. Texas newborns also are screened for hearing loss and critical congenital heart defects at the birthing facility where the baby was born. Read the
DSHS news release.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common viral infection. Most people have been infected with CMV by the time they are adults. If the CMV infection occurs for the first time during pregnancy, especially early in pregnancy, the developing fetus may have birth defects including being deaf or hard of hearing.
Read more about CMV.
Reporting babies diagnosed with Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD) is mandatory in Texas since September 2014. Learn more about CCHD including viewing the CCHD reporting form and frequently asked questions. The CCHD toolkit provides educational information on screening for CCHD.
The Newborn Screening (NBS) program offers in-person and live webinar trainings. These educational trainings are designed to provide general information on the NBS program, genetic disorders screened in Texas, specimen collection, the importance of early detection and treatment, and resources available to assist healthcare providers participating in newborn screening.

Product 6379/6447
Current Reviews: 2Average Rating: 3.5
Ali Nouira's WORMHOLE is a face slapping, jaw dropping, eye bulging behemoth of a magic trick. A SELF WORKING signed card to pocket!
Two freely selected and signed cards are lost in the deck (you don't even control the cards). You offer to dead cut directly to their selections. You make ONE CUT and show the top card. You missed.
But you know what, that's not surprising is it? Why not? Because after cleanly showing your hands are empty you slowly reach into your back pockets and remove BOTH SIGNED CARDS!!!
A supernaturally miraculous 'Signed Card To Pocket', WORMHOLE is dead easy to do.
No moves (no palms, forces, breaks - NOTHING). The special gimmicks do the work for you.
Hands shown empty at all times.
Regular deck - just add the gimmick and you're ready to rock.
Resets instantly.
No duplicate cards.
Gimmicks easily customizable to any deck design.
Includes hand made gimmick.
This product was added to our catalog on Monday 08 August, 2011.

Welcome to Cisco Support Community. We would love to have your feedback.
For an introduction to the new site, click here. And see here for current known issues.
Are there issues with using a VPN client on a host on a local network (LAN A) to connect to a remote network (LAN B) when the WAN router already is establishing a tunnel to either that same remote network (LAN B) or a different remote network (LAN C)?
Thank you.
If the WAN router is also doing PAT for all the internal hosts, then yes because it will PAT the ISAKMP packets from the inside host to it's own outside address, then when the return packet comes in it will possibly interpret it as being destined for itself (I've seen it before).
Why would you want to build a VPN to a network when you already have an existing VPN to that network?
