I have submitted the following with my signature:
I urge the Bahamas Diving Association not to over react to the recent tragedy that resulted in the death of Markus Groh during a dive trip conducted with Jim Abernethy. Everyone who has dived with Jim knows his passion for safety is greater even than his passion for sharks. On every dive I have made with him his vigilance and concern for the safety of his clients has always been his first priority. He continually counsels and instructs on the safest practices, and monitors the behavior and expertise of every diver in the water to ensure his advice is being followed. His knowledge of shark behavior is second to none and I cannot think of anyone else I would rather put my trust in on a dive trip that included encounters with these remarkable and vital marine creatures.
The Bahamas community benefits a great deal from Jim's activities with the diving and natural history community. His photos and videos, as well as those of the divers he hosts, have undoubtedly raised the profile of the Bahamas, sharks, and wildlife in general, in the most positive terms.
We all feel an enormous sympathy for Markus Groh's family and friends, and it would be wrong to make any comments about the circumstances of this awful accident without all the facts. However, whatever the analysis concludes, I feel confident that it will transpire that no negligence by Jim or his crew will have contributed to this tragedy. To the contrary, Jim is obsessive about making his visitors' experience of the unique conditions in the Bahamas a safe and repeatable one.
Just like climbers and mountain bikers, divers occasionally experience unfortunate accidents. To ban shark diving in the Bahamas would be like banning climbing in Nepal – it would serve no useful purpose and only result in many fewer people visiting the area and experiencing the pleasure that their sport allows.

Dear Mr. Treco and Ms. Bethel -
I read in the Miami Herald that the Bahamas is investigating Jim Abernethy and his shark-diving practices. (by the way, the article also erroneously states that it was a tiger shark that bit Groh, and not a bull shark).
I'd like to share some testimonials with you from the community at Wetpixel.com. Hopefully, reading through these will show you that Jim absolutely represents responsible Bahamas shark diving, and that many divers will not return to the Bahamas if he is shut down.
The list of people who vouch for Jim in the testimonial text below is literally a who's who of the dive industry, including:
Brian Skerry, National Geographic
Doug Perrine, award-winning photographer
Alex Mustard, award-winning photographer
Jeremy Stafford-Deitsch, shark scientist
Tony Wu, award-winning photographer
Neil Hammerschlag, shark scientist
Ralf Kiefner
Bonnie Pelnar
David Haas
Mary Lynn Price, DiveFilm.com
Peter Mooney
Andreas Voeltz, Digideep.com
Julie Anderson, Shark Savers
... and the testimonials are just starting.
Of the people who are coming forward, dozens so far are tour operators who run frequent trips to the Bahamas. Personally, I have 10 organized charters booked for the Bahamas over the next 2 years. I would hate to see a negative decision from the Bahamian Ministry of Tourism affect overall diving tourism to the Bahamas. I would cancel all of my charters immediately, and I know many others would, as well.

I've been on two of these shark diving trips to the Bahamas aboard this boat. I'm a scuba diver with 10 years of experience, and I travel all over the world to dive. The reason there ARE sharks in the Bahamas is that they are protected against commercial fishing and the horrendous practice of shark-finning. If people didn't want to go dive with the sharks in the Bahamas, they would have been caught and killed long ago.
Sharks are larrge predators and wild animals. People regularly interact with other large animals all the time in what are certainly risky activities. For example people ride "bucking broncos" and bulls for fun. When someone gets trampled we don't sue the rodeo and kill the horse…

What you can do to help Jim and his shark diving operation
Might I suggest that you take the philosophical discussion over to the "Shark bite..." thread where those topics are being discussed at length?
I want to emphasize the need for any of you who support Jim to - at the very least - sign this petition, which urges the Bahamas Diving Association to continue to allow diving with sharks in the Bahamas.
Jim's ability to continue operating shark dives will likely depend on Bahamian authorities recognizing the widespread support for him in the diving community, so if you don't do anything else, please at least sign the petition. It only takes a few seconds, and might make all the difference...

I posted as well, and it may or may not be accepted:
"Throughout the Caribbean it is very rare to encounter a shark on a dive, whether there is bait in the water or not. Even in extraordinarily remote areas like Raja Ampat it is rare to see a shark because of the fishing pressure from long-liners to sustain the absurd shark fin soup craze in Asia.
Yet, in the Bahamas, sharks are doing very well, specifically because the Bahamas government has an enlightened view of the role the sharks play to the ocean environment, and as significantly, recognize the vast dive tourism potential that shark feed opportunities generate.
Without shark dives and the traveling divers who support them, the sharks of the Bahamas would have been overfished long ago, just like everywhere else. For the shark's sake, we need the chance to enjoy proximity and develop appreciation."

This incident with quickly recede into the past.
Obviously, insurance coverage in the future will be a major issue. No charter boat can sit idle for long and pay the bills.
The sentiments are right on, but I am afraid more is required.
Posted 11 March 2008 - 06:15 AM
" I read my latest Undercurrent e-mail update this morning and was a bit disappointed by your blurb on the shark bite incident. In the future, you might want to look into something a bit more before you go to press. I sincerely hoop the article you publish on this in April will be researched thoroughly. First, the name is spelled Abernethy (only one "a", at the beginning), and, whether you agree with his methods or not, it is probably best when quoting Neal Watson to remember that Associations are made up of the operators themselves and Neal competes with Scuba Adventures for business. He stands to gain financially from putting them out of business. I would alos point out that you ran a trip report a few years back on this operation. i was on the boat during the same trip. You might want to go back and talk to "E.E.", your "intrepid reporter" about the operation -- he thought it was well-run and safe, as did I. I will admit it up front, I have been on Shearwater three times. i like Jim Abernethy a lot. I've seen reporting on this incident that runs the gamut from sensationalistic and irresponsible to somewhat objective. I would hope that you endeavor to make your article evidence-based and will attempt to paint the range of motivations involved. I'm a firm believer that a diver does take a large amount of responsibility in situations like this, just as a skydiver does when jumping out of a plane. If Jim Abernethy did something negligent, then it will come out. If this trip, like any of his others, was run well butsomething unfortunate happened, then let's please treat it that way. I know you have been running a campaign against out-of-control waiver writing, but another plea: don't let that effort cloud your objectivity here."

My charter was the one that was written up back in 2005 in Undercurrent. I get the hard copy Undercurrent and also immediately wrote "Ben Davison" with my thoughts the same as yours.
I think waivers are necessary in today's world, and if you think anyone will go in business, risk their whole livelihood without some form of protection you're dreaming.......So I will disagree with Undercurrent regarding that.
It WILL be interesting to see how it is represented. I would be surprised to see a balanced discussion, though

Yes, and for the record, I already received a response from Ben assuring me that the article he plans to publish will be well balanced. He responded very quickly. If anyone else feels the need to contact them, their "Contact Us" page is here:

> Ben,
I'm a LONG-time (charter) Undercurrent subscriber. I was a bit disappointed by the short blurb in the latest issue about the diver who died from a shark bite aboard Shear Water in the Bahamas. You - like much of the media immediately following the incident - latched onto a quote by Neal Watson stating that Jim Abernethy (owner of Shear Water) was an accident waiting to happen, etc. Unfortunately, you did not note (or know?) that Mr. Watson is a direct competitor of Abernethy's, and apparently himself markets baited shark dives in the Bahamas (making his statements more than a little hypocritical)!
My bigger concern is that you mentioned that you're writing a more extensive article for the April issue, and I fear that it, too, will be totally one-sided (against Abernethy and/or baited shark diving). If you want to see an active and informed discussion of both sides of the issue, about the best one I've seen is this one on Wetpixel:
In any event, I hope you'll do some research into the issue, and remember to at least give fair space in your article to the arguments in favor of the practice, which include:
- diving up close with sharks is an amazing (some would say life-changing) experience for divers, and one that would be largely impossible (i.e., sharks don't tend to come close to divers) without some sort of baiting;
- one of the only reasons the shark population in the Bahamas is so healthy is because shark diving operations convinced the government that it is more profitable in the long run to attract shark divers than it is to sell rights to Asian shark-finning operations to come in an decimate them (as they have in most other parts of the world). Eliminate shark diving (baiting), and Asian money will no doubt lead to the wiping out of most sharks in the Bahamas within a few years thereafter.
- as I understand it, this is the first recorded death in ANY organized shark diving activity (compare that to deaths in wreck-diving, cave-diving, sky-diving, etc.). Sure there is risk involved, but it is a risk that participants willingly take on, and this isolated incident does NOT make it inherently more dangerous than many other activities (including many other diving activities).
I know one of the other issues you will address in your article is waivers on dive boats. I agree that reform in that area is warranted (I hate having to sign a total waiver, and yet I do it on every boat I dive on!), although I can't blame dive operators for wanting to avoid liability, especially when they see all their competitors also doing it. OTOH, I think the waiver issue is a very separate issue from shark diving, baiting, and Abernethy's operation in particular.
I look forward to your shark diving article, and I am really hopeful that you will attempt to cover both sides of the issue, as I believe you have done so well over the years with other topics.
Bruce Yates
P.S. By way of disclosure, although I have no financial interest or connection to Abernethy, I have been a guest on Shear Water to dive with sharks and dolphins three different times, including one around the time one of your writers was on it - and wrote an article for Undercurrent a few years back. I don't think I've ever met a boat captain more concerned and conscientious about safety, and more concerned and passionate about the animals in the sea, than Abernethy. If you check back with the author of that article, I'm guessing he/she will concur. <

FWIW, I have come to think of Undercurrent (and Ben) as one of the last bastions of objective (in the sense that they don't cater to commercial interests) reporting in the dive industry. While it certainly reflects Ben's and his writers' own personal subjective opinions, I think on the whole it is an excellent publication.

For most divers, the best, and sometimes the only opportunity to see a shark is to go out with an operation that sets baits in the water to attract them. Typically sharks don't want anything to do with scuba divers, for a host of reasons, mostly because we are big noisy creatures. Hence, we need to have attractants - specifically food, or the scent of food, to make it happen.
Opponents of shark diving activities like to assert it is wrong, stating that the exercise is modifying the natural behavior of the animal. Well, in that case we have been modifying their behavior since the day man cast his first net into the sea to catch a fish, and we have been doing a fine job in altering the balance of our oceans ever since. The majority of marine biologists will tell you, most marine predators, especially sharks, are opportunists, constantly seeking their food source - whatever, wherever it may be.
The other assertion is that diving with sharks is not safe. Lets get real. People by nature are risk takers, be it scaling the vertical face of a mountain or playing high stakes poker. Just like any sport, scuba diving has its risks, and in their underwater pursuits, divers, on occasion, experience unfortunate accidents. While cave diving, breathhold diving, even deep wreck diving have certainly experienced more fatalities than anyone wants to count, recreational scuba has also had its share. Even in the most sublime of destinations like the Cayman Islands, there are a couple recorded cases of divers doing one-way wall dives. Yet, is anyone pushing a stop to wall diving?
As much as an operation attempts to oversee the activities of its clientele, the responsibility lies with the diver to understand the risks before he/she makes the decision to take it. Be it on a Bahamas shark dive with Jim Abernathy's Dive Adventures or any other operation, we make our choices. Banning shark diving in the Bahamas makes no sense and would simply incite a trend that we may not want to see happen within the diving community. So what is really considered safe?
Posted 18 March 2008 - 06:08 PM
I feel Walt Stearns said it all in his previous post. One need only watch a documentary of mountain climbers walking past corpses on Mount Everest of those who did not survive their attempted ascent and or descent.
There are inherent dangers in many daily activities, ie, a roof caves in at a mall, a car jumps the center lane, and or slipping in the shower. As we all know, sharks get a bad wrap for simply being sharks.
As a fellow diver/photographer our condolences go out to any diver who may lose their life while enjoying their chosen sport. Accidents happen... sometimes with tragic results.
I have dived with sharks aboard the Shearwater. Jim does everything that is reasonable to ensure a guest's safety. I have seen guests do what could only be described as stupid things or they violate the dive plan in some way. Humans make mistakes. Like I said, accidents can just happen and a shark is a wild animal. Hence, we sign waivers and are informed of the risks. It should be up to an individual to choose what risks they are prepared to take. Not some legislator or governing body dictating what we can or cannot do.
We can only hope that sanity prevails and the rhetoric fades so we can all go back to doing what we love. If that happens to be shark diving, I'll support that.

It's 2018 and cbcExposed continues to hear from confidential sources inside the CBC about CBC management snooping on its employees, company waste, low employee morale, huge salaries and benefits for the President and other senior management, gender bias and other scandals and we will continue to expose their reports on our blog while we protect our sources. We take joy in knowing that the CBC-HQ visits us daily to spy on us and read our stories such as news bias, waste, the CBC Sunshine List, ongoing scandals including the epic Dr. Leenen case against The Fifth Estate (the largest libel legal case ever awarded against the media in Canadian history) where no one at CBC was fired and taxpayers paid the award and legal costs for this CBC Libel action. Writers and filmmakers take note-this is a Perfect story for an award winning Documentary!
cbcExposed continues to enjoy substantial visitors coming from Universities and Colleges across Canada who use us for research in debates, exams, etc.
We ask students to please join with us in this mission; you have the power to make a difference! And so can private broadcasters who we know are hurting from the dwindling Advertising revenue pool and the CBC taking money from that pool while also unfairly getting Tax subsidies money. It's time to stop being silent and start speaking up Bell Media-CTV, Shaw-Global, Rogers, etc.
Our cbcExposed Twitter followers and frequent visitors to cbcExposed continue to motivate us to expose CBC's abuse and waste of tax money as well as exposing their ongoing left wing bully-like news bias. Polls meanwhile show that Canadians favour selling the wasteful government owned media giant and to put our tax money to better use for all Canadians. The Liberals privatized Petro Canada and Air Canada; it's time for the Trudeau Liberals to privatize the CBC- certainly not give them more of our tax money-enough is enough!
The CBC network's ratings continue to plummet while their costs and our tax- payer subsidies continue to go up! In 2018 what case can be made for the Government to be in the broadcasting business, competing unfairly with the private sector? The CBC receives advertising and cable/satellite fees-fees greater than CTV and Global but this is not enough for the greedy CBC who also receive more than a billion dollars of your tax money every year. That's about $100,000,000 (yes, 100 MILLION) of our taxes every 30 days with no CBC accountability to taxpayers as they continue with their biased news service serving only the extreme socialists and anti-Semitics. Wake up Canada!
What does it take for real change at the CBC? YOU! Our blog now contains a link to the Politicians contact info for you to make your voice heard. Act now and contact your MP, the Cabinet and Prime Minister ... tell them to stop wasting your money, and ... sell the CBC.

BOSTON -- Testimony Wednesday in the trial of John O'Brien, the former probation commissioner accused of secretly operating a patronage system at the public safety agency, shed light on a power struggle within the state judiciary.
O'Brien had clashed over hiring procedures with former Chief Justice of Administration and Management Robert Mulligan, delegating his top aide John Cremens, who testified under immunity Wednesday, to meet with the judge.
Through the 1990s, local judges had the power to appoint probation officers in theirs courts, but a 2001 law gave that power to the commissioner of probation, though O'Brien still needed Mulligan to sign off on the hires.
O'Brien, who lives in Quincy, andhis former deputies Elizabeth Tavares and William Burke III, are accused of using their appointing authority to offer jobs to candidates with political backing, hiding the patronage under a series of rigged interviews. Cremens said Mulligan would hold up appointments well past the 14 days he was allotted, and criticized O'Brien's personnel decisions.
In a March 2005 letter to O'Brien, Mulligan objected to the "mind-numbing process" of conducting 3,800 interviews that he said O'Brien required to fill 52 positions, 15 of which already had temporary appointments.
"You made it clear that you did not want to have judges involved in the process and that you considered it an imposition on your authority," Mulligan wrote.
Mulligan had demanded that probation officials winnow the candidates down to eight through a screening process, allowing judges to participate in interviews without as much of a time commitment.
"I informed you that judges would not be available to conduct thirty-eight-hundred interviews. I referred to it as a mind-numbing process, disruptive to court business," read the March 22, 2005 letter from Mulligan to O'Brien that is part of the evidence in the trial. Mulligan said the 3,800 interviews and the fact that 15 of the 52 positions had temporary appointees who were "very likely" to win the full appointment fulfilled O'Brien's "prophecy that judges would not want to be involved."
After that, Cremens said, probation added a screening panel to the hiring process, in addition to an interview that included the local judge, local chief probation officer, and a top probation official, and the final interview conducted by two probation officials. According to prosecutors, the whole process was rigged to ensure that O'Brien's selection who had political backing would make it to the final interview and then receive the highest score.
Before 2001 when the Legislature changed the law, local judges – not the commissioner – had the ability to discipline probation officers in addition to appointing them. Cremens agreed with O'Brien's attorney Stellio Sinnis that under the older system, the probation commissioner was a "figurehead" similar to "the queen of England."
Though Sinnis said he had made up the analogy, Cremens, who retired in January 2008, said he had "heard it before."
According to prosecutors, the three schemed to earn "political currency" by steering jobs toward candidates with backing of powerful officials in the Legislature and elsewhere, even if they lacked experience, had problems with drugs or did not perform as well as others in standardized interviews.
Cremens, who is 71, at times contradicted himself. First he told federal prosecutor Fred Wyshak that he had been "truthful" and "apprehensive" meeting at a Burlington Bickford's with Paul Ware, an independent counsel who investigated patronage in the probation department after a 2010 Boston Globe expose.
Later he acknowledged he had not been truthful.
"Why did you lie to Mr. Ware?" Wyshak asked.
"At the time I didn't know what was going on. It was an informal discussion," Cremens said Wednesday on the stand. Pressed further, he said, "I didn't know whether I might be involved in anything. A lot of stuff transpired at probation."
The son of a former state representative from Cambridge, Cremens had worked with O'Brien at Suffolk Superior Court in the 1990s, and when O'Brien became commissioner in 1998 he made Cremens his first deputy. On the stand, Cremens said his memory had been better when he was working, and said he is not well versed in the role of probate and family probation officers, who play less of a law enforcement role, or the electronic monitoring system, both of which are overseen by the office.
Cremens said the only personnel matters that he participated in was appointing chief probation officers, and after being pressed by Wyshak he said on at least two occasions he believed the most qualified candidate had not been hired.
One of those hires was James Rush, father of then-Rep. and now Sen. Michael Rush. Asked if the status of the job applicant's son played a role in the hiring, Cremens said, "Yes it did."
Court broke Wednesday just as Cremens was attempting to recall the name of another candidate from the South Shore.
Cremens enjoyed the support of his fellow assistant chief probation officer O'Brien when he was in the running for chief probation officer at Suffolk Superior, and said that O'Brien had backed Mulligan in his bid for chief justice, but about five years later "things were becoming tense in their relationship."
After working with Cremens at Suffolk Superior, Cremens worked as legislative liaison to former Chief Justice of Administration and Management John Irwin, and had headed up the fledgling Office of Community Corrections.
When Sinnis attempted to ask Cremens about the hiring of court officers, Wyshak objected, the attorneys spoke quietly with the judge and the matter was dropped. In his opening statement, Sinnis said Mulligan hired court officers in much the same fashion as O'Brien hired probation officers. Mulligan will be a witness, Wyshak has said.
At some point, Cremens began joining O'Brien for regular meetings with Mulligan, and later attended on his own, where Mulligan would show Cremens applications of job-seekers he thought were more qualified than the person who was appointed to the position.
"I told him, 'Chief, I am not handling the hiring," said Cremens. He said even though he was aware from lunch table banter in the cafeteria at One Ashburton Place and from his own assistant that there was a list with favored hires, he did not tell Mulligan about the role favoritism played. On Wednesday, he acknowledged he "had an obligation" to tell Mulligan, but did not.
Cremens said he was "upset" that people with less experience were getting promotions over more veteran members of the department.
"It bothered me, personally, what was going on," Cremens said.
Wyshak asked Cremens why the final interview was even "necessary."
"I don't know why," Cremens said.
"Well you were the first deputy commissioner of probation," Wyshak responded.
In 2004, when Mulligan transferred money out of the probation department budget to other areas of the Trial Court, O'Brien became "upset" and the next year the law prohibited such transfers, Cremens said.
Cremens's career in probation began after working for an insurance company and a bus company. His sister is a judge and he previously worked in a family restaurant in Cambridge, Cremens said.
At O'Brien's invitation, Cremens attended fundraisers for Rep. Tom Petrolati, paying cash for the $100 tickets, he said.
Cremens was the direct supervisor of Tavares, before he retired in 2008 and she took his position. Under questioning by Tavares's attorney, Brad Bailey, Cremens said even though he was aware Tavares would receive names of preferred candidates, he never asked her to stop.
"Would you agree that you were giving your tacit approval to her?" Bailey asked.
"No," Cremens said.
Cremens also contradicted Ellen Slaney, another prosecution witness, who said she had inquired about her niece's application for a probation officer job, but had not sought to influence the decision beyond seeking fair treatment for her niece.
Cremens said Slaney approached him "asking me for her niece to get a position as a probation officer." Cremens said he "did nothing." Slaney's niece was appointed, and is now in a different job, Slaney said previously.
Before his testimony began on Tuesday, Cremens said, FBI Agent Kevin Constantine told him in a court hallway that he and another person he was talking to are co-conspirators in the case.
"Two or three of us were just having a general conversation," Cremens said. He said, "One of them said, 'Do you realize you're unindicted co-conspirators?"
Cremens also said he had met with Wyshak after his testimony Tuesday, and said Wyshak went over what he would ask him, but did not tell him how to answer.
Former probation aide testifies about judicial power struggle
BOSTON -- Testimony Wednesday in the trial of John O'Brien, the former probation commissioner accused of secretly operating a patronage system at the public safety agency, shed light on a power struggle within the state judiciary.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease causes approximately one out of four deaths in the United States. Although this rate has been decreasing, the prevalence and risk factors are still quite high in our communities.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease causes approximately one out of four deaths in the United States. Although this rate has been decreasing, the prevalence and risk factors are still quite high in our communities.
In honor of American Heart Month, Benjamin Wong, M.D., Mayo Clinic Health System cardiologist, shares some information on how to improve heart health. Following the tips below will help to enhance your well-being and prevent heart disease.
1. Exercise regularly. One of the main risks for heart disease and cardiac-related problems is obesity. Exercising on a regular basis is a great way to shed pounds and keep your heart healthy. The American Heart Association recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week. These aerobic activities help maintain ideal body weight, enhance quality of life and lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Quick tip: Take a 30-minute walk five days per week.
2. Eat a balanced diet. Stick to a low-fat diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean meats and other sources of protein like nuts and seeds. Beware of added salt, sugar and saturated fats. Quick tip: Select grilled instead of fried entrees.
3. Stop smoking. Smoking is a leading cause of heart disease, as well as a risk factor for cancer, stroke and diabetes. If you do smoke, there are resources to help you quit. You can visit smokefree.gov, quitplan.com or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW for free assistance on starting your smoking cessation plan. Quick tip: Tell friends, family and co-workers that you are trying to quit.
4. Maintain proper blood pressure levels. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a serious condition that can lead to a number of cardiac issues, including a heart attack. Optimal blood pressure should be less than 130 over 80. Quick tip: Keep blood pressure in that desired range by staying physically active, managing stress, eating nutritious meals and not smoking.
5. Stay hygiene healthy. Washing your hands with soap and warm water for a minimum of 15 seconds can prevent bacteria, infections and viruses that affect the heart. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol to reduce the presence of germs. Quick tip: Hum the "Happy Birthday" song twice instead of counting the seconds while washing your hands.
6. Cut the cholesterol. The National Cholesterol Education Program advises adults to check their blood cholesterol once every five years. When cholesterol levels are elevated, it can cause plaque buildup that may result in a heart attack. Exercising, eating right and quitting smoking all help to lower cholesterol. Quick tip: Look at saturated and trans fat information on food labels before purchasing food items.
7. Manage stress. When you face stressful situations, your body releases adrenaline, which speeds up breathing and heart rate, as well as blood pressure. Although occasional stress is normal, chronic stress can damage your artery walls and lead to blood pressure problems. Quick tip: Get enough sleep and speak with loved ones about your daily stresses.
Taking proactive steps to prevent heart disease is one of the best choices you can make. Implementing the tips above will help to ensure your long-term health and well-being. If you have questions or concerns about heart health, it's always best to speak with your primary health care provider.
Dr. Wong will present on the topic of heart health on Tuesday, Feb. 19, at 7 p.m. in the main conference room of Mayo Clinic Health System in St. James. This free presentation to the public is part of Mayo Clinic Health System's Speaking of Health community health education series.

I know it's a bit early but if the Niners lose this week to the Bears, the Hawks will control their own destiny for winning the division. The Niners will have 6 wins with 6 games to go. The Hawks will have 6 wins with 6 games to go. But they play each other so even if they both win every game, one team will lose a game in Seattle and that game would decide the division winner essentially.
If they lose this week, that is exactly where we wanna be. If we win our games, we win the division. Crazy that we have a chance to take the division from the Niners with how some things went early in the year.

I know this is way premature, but as my bitches like to point out, I do all things premature (especially when shooting from the hip).
I find myself salivating at the thought of a Peppers or Mathews type on the Seahawks roster. Not only do they change field position, it's as if their playing offense from a defensive position. Their rush, changes everything. And, yeah, would help an offense with a rookie QB and questionable receivers.
This is year 3, and if this year doesn't work, it COULD be hotseat time for Carroll. He has to know that, so I'm not sure this staff can necessarily afford Irvin to be a project. Even if he lives up to the draft day haters prognostication, 10 sacks, that'd change so many things.
You cant have a losing season, and a draft day pick that drew tons of head-tilts, can you?
Man, they need to manufacture ways to get him going. He's got speed, tenacity and at least in college a knack for finding QB's. There's GOT TO a way to utilize that, outside of a hand down, dont ya think?

COLDWATER � Two men grabbed the cash and ran early Monday morning from the Dutch Uncle Donut Shop on US-12 in Coldwater.
A waitress was mopping the floor when two white males, approximately 18-20 years old, entered the front door about 6:10 a.m., went directly to the cash register, opened it and fled with a small amount of cash.
Only one customer, a regular, was sitting near the front window. The witness said the thin men were wearing clear plastic masks, hoodies and possibly knit hats.
The owner was in the back when she heard the waitress yell out. She ran out the back and around the building in time to see the pair heading north toward the gas station across the street.
Coldwater Police Department officials are investigating. The owner said she saw two people walk around the building several minutes before the robbery. It did not appear there were any weapons involved in the incident.

BEIJING — China's attempt to balance its economy without breaking it puts global growth at risk should policymakers fail.
Premier Li Keqiang's three-month-old government is allowing the tightest squeeze on credit in at least a decade to wean the nation off a cash binge that threatened to destabilize the world's second-largest economy.
The aim is to deliver sustainable, more-even economic expansion closer to 7 percent than the rates faster than 9 percent witnessed in recent years. The risk is that getting the transition wrong will stifle credit and hurt activity at home and abroad just as the Federal Reserve pivots toward withdrawing stimulus.
"I wasn't too worried up until this week," said Shane Oliver, Sydney-based head of investment strategy at AMP Capital Investors, which manages the equivalent of more than $119 billion. "Things are quite a lot different in China than might have been expected. It does potentially pose risks for global growth."
Oliver is among investors and economists from Barclays to HSBC Holdings who are lowering their outlook for the Chinese economy. They say it may fall short of the government's full-year growth target of 7.5 percent.
That's a challenge to countries from Australia to Brazil that increasingly relied on China after developed nations struggled to recover from the worst international recession since World War II. China was responsible for about a third of global growth last year, according to Darius Kowalczyk, a strategist at Credit Agricole in Hong Kong.
"The world economy would suffer from China's slowdown as China has been adding more to global growth than any other economy," said Kowalczyk. "Commodity demand would suffer in particular and Asian markets relying on China for exports growth would be hit."
Concerns about Chinese officials getting it wrong threaten to roil global financial markets, said David Hensley, director of global economic coordination at JPMorgan Chasein New York.
"If people get scared about China that could be a global event that would weigh on sentiment and reinforce negative forces in the markets," said Hensley.
The danger of over-doing the pullback is magnified by the fact it comes as investors contend with the prospect of reduced stimulus from the Fed. "We've relied on the Fed and China so much over the last few years so any signs that either might be less supportive is taken negatively – and we got both of those over the past week," said Oliver at AMP.
China's benchmark money-market rates raced to record highs this week before sliding Friday after the central bank finally injected funds. The overnight repurchase rate dropped 442 basis points, or 4.42 percentage points, to 8.43 percent in Shanghai, according to a daily fixing compiled by the National Interbank Funding Center. That is the biggest drop since October 2007 and follows an unprecedented 527 basis point jump Thursday.
Among those likely to suffer the most from a weaker China: commodity exporters, which will experience a "double-whammy" of falling exports and prices, according to Tim Condon, head of Asia research at ING Groep NV in Singapore.
That puts Brazil, South Africa and Australia under pressure. They all count China as their biggest trading partner. Data from China's General Administration of Customs show Brazilian exports to the country fell 11.8 percent in the first five months of the year.
Gold Fields and Sibanye Gold were among the South African mining companies to decline this week. Brazilian oil producer OGX Petroleo & Gas Participacoes fell as did BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's largest mining company.
Asian neighbors will likely also be pinched, with Kowalczyk of Credit Agricole estimating Taiwan and South Korea rely on China to buy about a quarter of their exports.
China's policy drive reflects a new departure in its economic management. Officials are more reluctant than they were in the past to loosen monetary or fiscal policies to check an economic slowdown. Instead, they are emphasizing the need for more-balanced growth in the longer term and policy changes to achieve it.
That reflects a focus on "the quality of growth rather than the quantity," said Stephen King, London-based chief economist at HSBC. HSBC on June 19 cut its forecast for Chinese growth this year and next to 7.4 percent from previous forecasts of 8.2 percent and 8.4 percent.
A slower China may be a price worth paying if it results in an economy with more even growth that's less prone to shocks, says Ken Courtis, founder of Tokyo-based advisory company Next Capital Partners and former Asia vice chairman at Goldman Sachs.
China's private debt soared to 168 percent of gross domestic product in the third quarter of last year, from 119 percent four years previously, according to Citigroup Inc. That jump is bigger than those of the U.S. and euro area in their pre-crisis years. The country also faces the potential for non- performing loans after lending a record 17.5 trillion yuan in 2009-10.
China "is imposing the type of tough medicine it needs to squeeze excesses out of the system," said Courtis. "You can't build long-term, sustainable growth if the system is not cleansed of excesses."
It's a view shared by David Loevinger, former senior coordinator for China affairs at the U.S. Treasury Department and now an emerging markets analyst in Los Angeles at TCW Group Inc.
"Slowing the growth in credit now increases the prospects for strong and steady growth later," said Loevinger. "This is good for China and the world."
Accelerations in the U.S. and Japanese economies also mean the world is "in a much better position to support a slowing China" these days, said Manoj Pradhan, an economist at Morgan Stanley in London. "A more-balanced China is something the global economy can absorb right now."
If it helps ease commodity prices it also could help reduce the inflation elsewhere in the world which is eating into consumers' spending power, said Tim Drayson, global economist at Legal & General Investment Management Plc in London.
There may still be a pain barrier. While China's leaders have been willing to let growth slow by more than some economists thought, a weakening to 7 percent would likely force a response, says ING's Condon. Hensley at JPMorgan said possible responses to an extended soft patch could be lower reserve requirements or interest rates.
"I would be surprised if they allow this to go on much longer," Nobel laureate Michael Spence said in an interview in Shanghai.

(NewsUSA) – Nearly 1.5 million families lose their homes to foreclosure each year because of unpaid medical bills, according to an article published in the Health Matrix: Journal of Law Medicine.
Not all that surprising when you consider that the average cost of a single day's worth of inpatient hospital care is more than $1,600.
"Often enough, health insurance will not cover all of the related expenses in treating certain diseases," explains Polly Galbraith, medical director at Assurant Employee Benefits — a small-business insurance provider.
To avoid paying more for less coverage, it's essential to compare insurance options. There are, however, some other ways to maximize your insurance spend.
Make the most of your insurance dollars with these tips:
* Understand the benefits and tools available at work. Next time open enrollment rolls around at work, take stock of all the benefits your employer offers. Even if you pay some or all of the premium, you may have access to valuable plans that can help fill gaps in existing coverages. Many carriers provide calculators and other tools that can help determine what plans benefit you the most, and what level of coverage is appropriate.
* Don't forget to protect your income. Most people fail to contemplate what they would do if unable to work and earn a paycheck. Serious illnesses or accidents may not occur with high frequency, but the ramifications can be significant with impacts far beyond your health, like your livelihood. The Council for Disability Awareness provides a helpful educational tool to evaluate your readiness in the event of accident, injury or sickness at www.defendyourincome.org.
* Consider supplemental insurance. Many of your day-to-day expenses are not covered by your health insurance. Things like childcare costs, transportation expenses and lost work time often catch people off guard when their income is unexpectedly disrupted. Medical insurance covers expenses like doctors visits and medicine, but not those day-to-day things that make your life run. Generally, supplemental coverages like critical illness, cancer and accident pay a fixed sum upon the event, which you can use for whatever you want, including those "other" expenses.
* Purchase through work for savings and convenience. When you purchase coverage at work, you benefit from group insurance rates which are typically more affordable. These benefits can come with some level of guaranteed coverage, meaning you do not have to submit medical evidence. Many employers will also collect and remit premiums to the carrier for you, through payroll deduction. Check with other groups you belong to, like labor unions, business organizations, student associations and other special-interest groups, that may also offer coverage at discounted rates.
* Take it with you. Don't forget to look at options that include portability, the ability to take the coverage with you should you leave your job.

March Madness provides opportunity to celebrate in Lawrence, Kansas.
March Madness is upon us and brings great memories of growing up in a college town. Go Jayhawks! Each year the restaurants and bars are filled with fans rooting the Jayhawks to victory as they move through the tournament. Some years are successful, others bring disappointment.
No matter what the result, March Madness provides a reason to gather with friends, drink good beer and indulge on foods that one would avoid on a normal day. Some of my favorite Lawrence hangouts include Free State Brewery, Henry T's Bar & Grill and Red Lion Tavern.
Free State Brewery has a savory menu and some of the best handcrafted beer in the state. Henry T's Bar & Grill boasts the best buffalo wings in town and Red Lion Tavern reflects the old-world pub complete with Guinness and Killian's Red.
It's not too late to plan a road trip to Lawrence as the Jayhawks fight their way to the Final Four this year. You'll discover passionate people enjoying wholesome fun, flavorful foods and delicious brew!

I'm using the URL slug headline for this one (check the link).
This map showing the locations of 280 million individual posts on Twitter shows a depressing divide in America: Tweets coming from Manhattan tend to come from iPhones. Tweets coming from Newark, N.J., tend to come from Android phones.
If you live in the New York metro area, you don't need to be told that Manhattan is where the region's rich people live, and the poor live in Newark. Manhattan's median income is $67,000 a year. Newark's is $17,000, according to U.S. Census data.
This fascinates me, as it seems to be a very American thing. In The Netherlands, Android has an 80% market share, and we have far lower poverty rates than the US (that Newark median income is crazy low by Dutch standards). I'm pretty sure the situation is similar for many other West-European nations.
This raises an interesting question: is it 'Android is for poor people' - or is it 'Android is for poor people in America'?

Apple had a unique 2012 adjusting to life after the passing of co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs. Though the company introduced a plethora of new devices, 2012 wasn't all peachy releases for Apple. Some of the lower points include: the layoff of Scott Forstall after the Apple Maps debacle, the displeasure with the quick release of the iPad 4 after the iPad 3 was only a few months old, and the lack of updates in the iPhone 5.
Even with these downfalls, Apple was still wildly successful, becoming the most valued company in history. In addition to the iPad 3, iPad 4, and iPad Mini, the year 2012 saw a new iPhone 5, a new MacBook Pro with Retina, and updated iMacs and MacBooks Airs.
Apple also released Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion), a hugely popular software update that gave us a glimpse into future updates, where Mac OS X and iOS operating systems will slowly be more and more alike. Mountain Lion added key iOS features – like Notification Center, Game Center, Notes, Reminders, and iMessage capabilities – to the Mac operating system, further unifying the two, which is something we can expect more of in the upcoming year.
But, even after such an eventful 2012, Apple could be gearing up for an even bigger year. So, what can we expect from the tech behemoth in 2013? We spoke to a number of experts about the potential updates Apple might introduce to its desktop, laptop, and Mac OS X software. Here's what we think.
Software updates
In 2013, Apple will introduce Mac OS X 10.9, the still-untitled software update for Macs. There have been numerous media reports regarding 10.9, but one thing is for certain: 10.9 will introduce Siri and Maps to Mac computers. Since Apple has slowly but steadily been introducing key iOS features in the Mac operating system, there's almost no reason to doubt the reports. But will Siri and Maps be improved for OS X 10.9? Experts say yes.
Introduced in the iPhone 4S, Siri has been one of the biggest updates to the iPhone. So what can we expect from Siri in 2013? Adam Fingerman, co-founder of app development company ArcTouch, thinks that Siri will open up for iOS and Mac developers beyond just voice dictation.
Craig Negoescu, CEO of NAKA Media and ex-media director of Frog Design, has a lot experience with Apple products. An inventor, technology strategist, and user experience designer, Negoescu says integrating Siri in Mac OS X 10.9 is very likely. "Despite a few stumbles, Apple is committed to Siri as a foundational element of user input, along with multitouch," Negoescu said. "As Siri is more thoroughly integrated into apps and services, it becomes more valuable … It's value increases exponentially the more it is tied into services, apps, and data." Negoescu also thinks Siri will get better and more personal. "Watch 'Iron Man,'" Negoescu said. "Jarvis is the goal."
It's important to note that a similar feature called Dictation, which allows your computer to transcribe text as you speak, is already available on Mountain Lion. While Siri is slightly different, the main programming is similar, which leads us to think that Siri might be available to every computer eligible for Mac OS X 10.9. That being said, Apple could use Siri as an incentive for users to buy new Macs, so the feature might not be available to older models.
Apple Maps
As for Apple Maps on Mac OS X 10.9, people are less enthusiastic, but Apple users are hoping that Apple Maps to get a little better. According to Negoescu, it's a "safe bet" that Apple's "troubled (but improving) maps application" will be included in Mac OS X 10.9. After the Google Maps app on iOS made its celebrated debut earlier this month, it makes sense for Apple to continue to develop Apple Maps in hopes of making it better than the Google Maps app.
Other additions
Apple will likely introduce other features in addition to Siri and Maps. In Mac OS X 10.8, Apple had over 200 changes. Some of the updates were big, like the Notification Bar, Notes, and Reminders; and some were small, like updates to the Finder interface. It's obviously hard to predict some of the smaller changes that Apple will make, but analysts are predicting more iOS stock apps to make their way to Mac OS X 10.9. According to Negoescu, "iOS reader apps will likely move over as Apple wants to increase visibility and readership with live synchronization of the magazine or book page that's open on your iPad or iPhone."
According to Fingerman, further convergence between iOS and Mac OS X is inevitable. "iBooks is a good example of something that will likely come to Mac OS X," Fingerman said. "The user-experience of the two will further converge with similar conventions to use and work with the applications." Fingerman added that the Launchpad app is a great example of an iOS-like app that is currently just an option on Mac computers. He said Launchpad would probably develop into the default method in future versions of Mac OS, with the Finder method of sorting through files and apps becoming the fallback option.
The convergence of iOS and Mac OS X
One thing almost every analyst agrees on is the merging of iOS and Mac OS X, but will there be only one unified operating system for both computers and mobile devices? In an interview with BusinessWeek, Tim Cook touched on the rumor, essentially squashing it. "We don't subscribe to the vision that the OS for iPhones and iPads should be the same as Mac," Cook said in the interview. "As you know, iOS and Mac OS are built on the same base … Customers want iOS and Mac OS X to work together seamlessly, not to be the same, but to work together seamlessly."
Since the company doesn't depend on its Macs for revenue (the bulk of the company's profits comes from the immensely popular Apple mobile devices), Apple has a unique ability to be a little risky with the operating systems for its computers. For this reason, Apple can continue to use OS X to cultivate and develop its "passion projects," while continuing to meet consumer demands and meeting market trends for its iOS devices (like a bigger iPhone and a smaller iPad).
iTunes 11, the most recent update to the popular music program, is very different from the version on the iPhone and iPad. To us, it seems like Apple is using iTunes 11 and its Mac computers to test out a future UI change to the app on its iOS devices. Perhaps Apple realized that not every change it makes will be a popular one (cough, Apple Maps), so the company is changing the way it introduces new products.
Apple's Mac OS X operating system has the unique ability to withstand consumer influence since the company is not dependent on its success. For that reason, and a few others, we predict Apple will continue the tradition of keeping its Mac OS and iOS operating systems separate.
Hardware changes
Over the past year, Apple has been making small but notable changes in its computer hardware. The MacBook Airs have gotten lighter and faster, implementing a new Intel Ivy Bridge chip for faster processing; the MacBook Pro added a brand new Retina screen for its 13-inch and 15-inch models; and the iMac became almost as skinny as a MacBook Air. Every year, Apple continues to update its popular MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, and this year should be no different. So what more can we expect from Apple in 2013?
MacBook Air and MacBook Pro
According to analysts, the MacBook Pro and Air will both get updated in 2013. In terms of the Air, we'll likely see a faster CPU, increased RAM, a faster and larger solid-state drive, and the addition of a Retina display. We may even see a 15-inch screen, which would make a lot of sense considering the popularity of the Ultrabook. A more expensive version of the MacBook Air with a Retina screen is also a possibility, targeting the type of consumer that travels with their laptop and wants a super powerful computer – but without the heft of the heavy MacBook Pro.
As for the updated MacBook Pros, we foresee an upgrade to flash-based memory and SSD, similar to the MacBook Air. Not only is it faster, but it's also less bulky, which should make the MacBook Pro lighter (and a lighter computer is something consumers never complain about).
Updates inside Apple computers
Intel is reportedly working on an update to its Ivy Bridge processors, one that cuts down on power usage and increases efficiency. The new chips could be up to 41 percent more efficient, increasing battery life and processing speeds while thinning in size and cutting down in power usage.
Apple is also said to be hiring ex-Texas Instrument employees in Israel to work on creating and developing new semiconductors for its devices. Of course, it wasn't specified which devices these engineers would be working on. While Apple is obviously focused on its mobile market, and has created its own chips for the iPhone 5 and the iPad 4, called the A6X, what's to say some of these developers aren't working on chips for Apple computers? If Apple starts to develop its own semiconductor chips for its Macs, the tech giant could drastically update the performance of its computers.
A touchscreen Apple computer?
With the launch of Windows 8 this year, touchscreen laptops are becoming the next big thing. According to Fingerman, a future Mac will have touch capability, either with direct touch or through a less-direct way, like what Leap Motion is doing with its gesture-based sensors. "We feel strongly that touch-based gestures (swipe, pinch/zoom, etc.) are a very natural way to interact with computing devices, and not just phones and tablets," Fingerman said. He doesn't expect Apple to get rid of a keyboard for a virtual keyboard, like the one it uses in iOS devices, but he does expect the first touchscreen Mac computer to be an iMac and not a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.
But not everyone agrees that Apple could be heading for a potential touchscreen Mac computer. Negoescu predicts a (slightly) different future for Mac. He argues that the Mac already has great touchscreen integration via third-party software on the iPad and iPhone, and that using the "Actions" app on the iPad allows for full touch interactivity with his MacBook Pro. "I suspect the keyboard (iPad on the desk) is where a lot of the touch may go," Negoescu said. "I have done similar research in the past and an adaptive touch surface where your keyboard/mouse used to be is an interesting way to go. Otherwise, you have a big, heavy tablet stuck on your desk in a vertical 90-degree orientation and your arms end up tired."
We think that a fully integrated touchscreen on a Mac is the next step in the convergence of iOS and Macs, but Apple has so far remained adamant about not wanting too many similarities between its iOS and Mac devices. By adding a touchscreen (and Siri), your MacBook will essentially become an oversized tablet.
Fingerman thinks that, despite Apple's public reluctance against such a device, it's still a possibility. "I know that Apple has previously suggested that a Mac/iPad hybrid is not where they are heading – but that doesn't mean they won't," Fingerman said. "They would never communicate a radical product direction like that before publicly introducing it."
Apple in 2013
In the history of Apple, there's never been a time where the company takes a year off and coasts. And judging from Cook's recent interview with Brian Williams, we won't see one anytime soon. Cook essentially said that he expects the company to continue to grow for as long as possible thanks to innovative products and a unique ability to figure out what customers want before they do.
However, because competition from companies like Samsung, Google, and even Microsoft, is drastically increasing, Apple is also starting to realize that it needs to improve its products and work on duds like Siri and Apple Maps. Before Windows 8, Apple might not have had the biggest share in the computer operating system market, but it was always the prettiest. But by producing a powerful operating system that is also aesthetically pleasing, Microsoft has taken a page from Apple's book, meaning Apple has a lot more to contend with in 2013.
With big software changes coming in Mac OS X 10.9, groundbreaking computer concepts, and updates to existing products on the horizon, we're certain 2013 will be another huge year for Apple.

Plaster cast of a Roman child's face, Paris, France, 1878-1920
The handwritten French label on the reverse of this tiny plaster cast explains its history. In 1878, a stone Roman burial sarcophagus was found in the gardens of a Paris convent. When a tiny Roman child died 1800 years before, cement sealing the sarcophagus leaked inside and formed a mould of the child's face. This plaster cast was created using that mould sometime between its discovery and 1920. The translation states the child was buried with a perfectly preserved small glass bottle. However, there is no indication of the cause of death. The label indicates the child came from Arènes de Lutèce, a prosperous and important Gallo-Roman town within modern day Paris. The Roman remains of Arènes de Lutèce were rediscovered in the 1860s during excavations for the building of a new tram stop.

A La Junta family is mourning the loss of a soldier who was killed in an accident in California.
A La Junta family was shocked and saddened to learn about the death of Caleb Medley, 26 of Burlington. Medley, a Marine, was killed in a skydiving accident in California Tuesday. According to reports, he suffered fatal injuries Tuesday afternoon when his parachute failed to deploy and he fell into a storage yard. He was taking part in a training exercise. Medley is the grandson of John Sr. and Annie Mestas of La Junta; nephew of John and Kathy Mestas of La Junta and cousin of Sammy Mestas, Jill, Josh and Jen Stoker. Medley's parents, Diane (Mestas) Homm and George Homm live in Burlington. John Mestas said the family lived in La Junta when Caleb was a young child. Caleb and his siblings attended school in La Junta during their early years, before the family moved to Burlington. While in Burlington, John said Caleb was a standout athlete and very well liked. After graduation, he joined the Marines and completed tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. "We just still can't believe this," John Mestas said. "He had just celebrated his (26th) birthday Monday." Anyone wishing to send Caleb's family condolences, can do so by sending a card to Diane Homm, c/o John Mestas, 506 Santa Fe Ave., La Junta, CO 81050. Funeral arrangements are pending.

The Thibodaux Chamber of Commerce and the city of Thibodaux want businesses to know the chamber was not involved with an out-of-state communications firm's project despite what the firm implied.
The Thibodaux Chamber of Commerce and the city of Thibodaux want businesses to know the chamber was not involved with an out-of-state communications firm's project despite what the firm implied.
Chamber President Kathy Benoit said she found out CGI Communications, a marketing and communications firm in Chicago, was soliciting local businesses for online marketing and website design services during January, implying that the chamber and the city were on board.
"It is my understanding that they had been making calls and visiting with people for a couple of weeks before I found out about it," Benoit said. "We do not have a project going on with them right now."
The chamber was first notified by a member calling to confirm the project because he had been contacted, as well as one of his clients who actually signed a contract with the firm.
"Our members are always notified in advance when we are going to do a project, and he knew that, so he called," Benoit said.
The mayor's office was the only group to have previously done business with the firm, but Ryan Perque, administrative assistant to the mayor, said that was about a year ago.
"CGI had done some videos for the city that are on our website," Perque said. "They just recently came back in and started soliciting businesses without our permission or without notifying us."
The mayor's office was notified by concerned business owners, and Perque said the solicitations had been going on for a couple of weeks. But he was not sure how many businesses were contacted or signed contracts.
Chamber and mayor's office officials spoke with a representative from the firm and have since said the solicitations have stopped.
"Even though they gave no reason for their actions, they are cooperating," Perque said.
The company couldn't be reached for comment.
It is not unusual for out-of-state businesses to solicit local businesses using the chamber's name, Benoit said.
"This has happened numerous times. If we hear about it while it's occurring, then we will take any action to stop it," Benoit said. "It's easy for people to think they are helping because they don't know the difference."
Years ago, Benoit said someone came in to the chamber office very hurriedly and dropped off a box of T-shirts with a very old chamber logo on them before someone there could help them.
"We started calling some of the sponsors on the T-shirt and found out that someone was going around implying that they were doing a promotional shirt for the chamber and promised to bring them to the chamber. They actually did bring the shirts, but the chamber had no part in it. We ended up giving the shirts to an organization in need."
Benoit and Perque ask that business owners check out claims involving the chamber or city and obtain contact numbers and names for anyone making such solicitations.

History and information about K&N Filter and their products.
K&N AIR INTAKES, THE ULTIMATE WEAPON IN THE HORSEPOWER WARS Most of our High-Flow Air Intakes can be purchased for less than $350. On the 2003 Ford Mustang SVT®, we actually achieved a 30 horsepower increase. Even our typical air intake gains are in the range of 8 to 16 horsepower. To send an average V-8 down the road at 55 mph, it takes about 17 horsepower. Considering this, you begin to realize just how much of a difference our intakes can make when you step on the gas. We're proud of these intakes because after you bolt one on, you'll know something's different…VERY DIFFERENT!
GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CAR OR TRUCK Most people are aware that our High-Flow Air Filter can increase horsepower over a traditional disposable air filter. An air filter change alone however, cannot eliminate other types of air restriction built into the vehicle at the factory. These can be found in the size of the air box and the air path running from the air box to the engine. That's where air intakes rule the road. They completely replace the factory airflow assembly including the filter, air box and air path. More and more people are discovering the monster power available from a well-engineered air intake and we sell over 200,000 air intakes every year, so go ahead and wake the sleeping giant in your car.
GUARANTEED HORSEPOWER We will not sell an air intake that does not provide a measured increase in horsepower and torque (acceleration). Our air intakes are proven to increase horsepower and torque on a rear-wheel dynamometer (think treadmill for cars). These thoroughly engineered air intakes provide huge increases in power that a customer will definitely feel when they accelerate.
Product lines include: K&N Fuel Injection Kits, FIPK, K&N 77 Series High Flow Air Intakes, K&N Typhoon Air Intake Systems, K&N AirCharger, K&N 57i Air Induction Kits, K&N Cold Air Intake Filters, and Stock Replacement Air Filters.
Back as far as 1969 K&N ENGINEERING has been in the business of perfecting automobile filters and, in fact, they were the inventors of the high flow cotton air filer and they have been working ever since then to improve your car's filter with a dedication to perfection of product and customer satisfaction. In the K&N facility in Riverside, California, they go about the task of researching and developing air filters and air intake systems and now have a potpourri of more than 5,000 products bearing their logo and; furthermore, the inimitable K & N products can be found in more than thirty countries around the world. There is a reason K & N assure you of their quality with a million mile warranty and the reason is their belief in the excellence of their product and because of their place in the aftermarket performance industry as the world's foremost manufacturer of washable performance air filters and air intake systems.
If you need more power, consider the gains that can be achieved by installing a K&N intake kit on your car and weigh that against the cost of this relatively inexpensive modification and I think you will agree that it is worth it for the resultant improvement in your car's performance. And you don't need to worry that a new K&N intake kit will give your car's engine too much air because every engine is designed to draw in only a particular volume of air and this depends on your car's bore, stoke and cylinders so this is not a problem. Consider K & N's history of success and its unparalleled place in the annals of aftermarket performance air filters and air intake systems when deciding on a new air filter or, better yet, a new and improved air intake system and then peruse the multiplicity of products available on the LMPERFORMANCE web site and find the one that will make a difference in your vehicle the minute it is installed. Take advantage of the more than fifty years of experience K & N has and use it to your benefit and let LMPERFORMANCE help you get the right part at the right price.
