DEP Secretary announced integrity tests for Florida's 200 oil wells at Collier commission meeting
Announcement is the latest in a series of enforcement directives against Dan A. Hughes Company
Company rep. don't show at meeting, defing state directive
Florida Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Herschel Vinyard announced a series of directives Tuesday regarding drilling activities in in Collier County.
Vinyard, speaking at the Collier County board of commissioners meeting, said his agency planned to take more action regarding an unpermitted, fracking-like procedure used by the Dan A. Hughes Co. at the Collier-Hogan well this winter.
"I will use all the tools available in our regulatory toolbox to hold them accountable," he said.
Vinyard also announced mechanical integrity tests for all 200 oil wells in the state.
The presentation came during a contentious commission meeting and focused on how to follow up on Dan A. Hughes' actions at the well.
In April, the DEP announced a settlement agreement with the company over an "enhanced extraction procedure," near Golden Gate Estates and the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. In the agreement, the DEP fined the company $25,000 and ordered it to hire an expert to perform groundwater monitoring around the well.
The procedure involved injecting "a dissolving solution at sufficient pressure to achieve some openings in the oil bearing rock formation that would be propped open with sand in pursuit of enhancing oil production," according to the DEP statement at the time.

Collier commissioners found the settlement agreement unsatisfactory and filed a legal petition this month.
Since that petition, the DEP has made several concessions, including ordering the company and Collier Resources, which leases the land and mineral rights to the driller, to hold a series of public hearings. The agency subsequently announced it would begin its own groundwater testing.
Results from the testing released last week showed no signs of contamination, however, oil opposition groups including the Conservancy of Southwest Florida and Preserve our Paradise, Inc., have questioned DEP's testing methods. They state the test wells don't go deep enough to accurately detect chemicals and the agency didn't screen for several drilling compounds.
This weekend, the DEP sent letters to the company and the Collier Resources outlining additional enforcement actions. These included additional testing and greater communication with local agencies. The companies have until July 15 to comply or DEP may take additional enforcement actions.
One of those conditions required a representative of the Hughes Co. to attend Tuesday's meeting. Company representatives were not present for the meeting.

"This, shows the company's unwillingness to comply with any orders not in the settlement agreement," said Jennifer Hecker, director of natural resource policy for the conservancy. "Dan A. Hughes has repeatedly and willfully disregarded orders from the state and county. The bottom line is the DEP has already settled with Dan A. Hughes in a legally binding agreement: the consent order."
An attorney for Collier Resources read a letter a letter from company officials at the meeting addressing the topic and defending its actions.
"When we learned of the allegations — particularly as it relates to clean drinking water — we were the first to raise our hands and volunteer to immediately undertake water quality testing and groundwater modeling in the area adjacent to the Hughes well," the letter states.
The letter said the company is also "highly concerned by a flurry of inaccurate and misleading media reports" regarding Collier Resources' decades of drilling in Southwest Florida.
"The resulting public confusion has created an environment where a number of groups, well intentioned or otherwise, have made unsubstantiated and inaccurate claims about unplugged oil wells, oil drilling in the Everglades, threats to the Florida panther and most recently, the safety of our drinking water," the letter said.
Commissioner Georgia Hiller lauded Collier Resources' actions while dressing down the DEP for being late in its enforcement actions.
"My concern is the DEP failed to do what it's supposed to do vis a vis the citizens of Florida," she said.

When it comes to IT, automation is your friend. Creating users in your active directory domain is no exception.
Not only does bulk creation of user accounts save you time it also opens the door to delegating the work to other people.
I'd like to share with you a couple really simple ways to bulk import user accounts. The first will be using PowerShell to create active directory users. The second will be to use a simple and free GUI tool for adding users to active directory from CSV.
Before starting, ensure you're working from either a server with the AD role enabled such as a Domain Controller or a workstation that's running the Microsoft Remote Server Administration Tools.
Download the pre-formatted CSV sheet and PowerShell script to create users in active directory here.
While it's technically possible to leave the password blank, this will result in the user account being created in a disabled state and will require a password be set before the account can be enabled.
If you open the CSV download provided you'll see an example of the OU path syntax.
Feel free to add or remove fields from the sheet. Just be sure to remember to add or remove them from the script as well (it's really easy).
Save your file to a known location. You'll need to open the PowerShell script and update the "$ADUsers = Import-csv" line to include the full path to the file.
As mentioned in step 3, we need to let the script know where we saved our CSV file. Right click the PowerShell script file and click Edit.
Before we can run the script we need to make one last update to it. We need to set the domain to be used for the UPN when creating the accounts.
You can also edit the PowerShell script and click the play button within PowerShell ISE if you prefer.
At this point you should either be returned to the prompt (if the script run was successful) or receive a warning if any accounts existed already or there were any problems with the script.
You can verify the account created by navigating to the OU you specified in your CSV sheet and looking for the new accounts.
If you're not the scripting type, or just prefer GUI tools (no shame in that), you'll be glad to know there are quite a few free options that work great. One of the easiest to use is SolarWinds User Import Tool which is part of their free Active Directory Admin Tools Bundle.
Simply download the bundle and run the UserImportTool.msi to install the tool.
Launch the Solarwinds User Import Tool and select your CSV sheet within the tool. Select the appropriate radio button for Account Type and then enter your domain credentials (account must have rights to write to active directory).
The next screen will ask you to map the fields from the CSV sheet. Since the fields in the sheet I provided are already named appropriately it should be pretty easy to match them up.
You also need to be aware that any field you map from your sheet will become a required field in the tool. Make sure any field you map is filled out for each user in the CSV file.
The next screen has a field at the top for specifying the OU you wish to create your user accounts in. Click Set to set the OU.
At this point you just need to verify everything in the preview looks correct and click Create.
Just as before, you can verify the accounts were created by navigating to the OU you specified and look for the new accounts.
Hopefully this tutorial was easy to follow and saves you time and heartache in the future.


I feel closer to my little crew and happier than I have been in a while, and that is simply because we've had some overdue quality family time. The memories have been pretty awesome too and it's a shame that it's a necessity that I have to be going back to work next week without them. It's been a steady, great week off.
Sounds like you had such a wonderful time. Sometimes you just need to do family things and enjoy the time together .

A winter wonderland became a frigid mess. A defensive struggle became a rout. A packed stadium became a ghost town long before the final gun.
And an 11-game win streak became a dirty dozen.
Behind three touchdown runs from quarterback Keenan Reynolds — the first tying the NCAA single-season record for QBs at 27, the last setting a new record at 29 — the Navy Midshipmen used a punishing ground game to hand the Army Black Knights a 34-7 loss Saturday at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field.
Navy hasn't lost to Army since 2001 and now leads the all-time series 58-49-7. Reynolds, a sophomore, led the Mids to victory with a 30-carry, 136-yard performance. He also threw seven passes, completing two, for 10 yards; Army's Angel Santiago added 50 yards in the air on a windy, cold afternoon — the lowest passing total all season in top-tier college football.
The Midshipmen (8-4) rattled off 17 straight points in the first half, with second-quarter touchdown runs by Noah Copeland and Reynolds breaking what had been a defensive stalemate. Freshman Brendon Clements did the damage on defense for Navy, forcing a fumble in the early going and snaring the game's only interception.
Navy's defense cracked only once, as Santiago led the Black Knights (3-9) on a third-quarter scoring drive keyed by a 29-yard pass to freshman Xavier Moss, who had all five of Army's catches on the day. Santiago looked for Moss on the next play but couldn't find him, instead scrambling for a 4-yard touchdown.
Down just two scores with about six minutes to play in the third quarter, Army needed a quick stop to capitalize on its momentum. Instead, Reynolds led Navy on an 11-play, 51-yard march that ate up almost the entire quarter and ended with Nick Sloan's second field goal of the day, a 34-yarder that made it 20-7.
The Black Knights failed on a fourth-down conversion on their next drive and never got any closer. As snow turned into freezing rain and fans began bailing out, Reynolds capped off his Most Valuable Player performance with two more touchdown runs — an 11-yard scamper with 6:22 left to play (he caught a two-point conversion pass from Brendan Dudeck on a trick play afterward) and a 1-yard plunge on fourth down with 46 seconds left.
A minor scuffle broke out in the end zone after the last score, and the remaining Army fans were less than pleased with Navy's scoring drive, which included Dudeck considering another pass attempt on another trick play with the game well in hand. Sloan missed the extra point.
Junior Terry Baggett led the Black Knights with 41 yards rushing, followed by Santiago's 40. Navy outgained Army 353-207 and benefited from 50 yards in Army penalties.
Navy will wrap up its season by facing Middle Tennessee State in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas, on Dec. 30. Army heads home for the year; head coach Rich Ellerson is now 0-5 against the Mids, and Saturday's loss was the worst during his tenure.
The series moves to Baltimore next year before returning to Philadelphia in 2015.
Good job NAVY!! I am retired Army, my Dad was retired Navy! I love him more than I love my time in the Army and have always rooted for Navy!

Finally, the Hillsdale College men's basketball team got to show off the grit and skill that's carried it to first place in the conference in front of a loud and lively home crowd.
The student section was alive and a large group of alumni were no doubt proud of the effort this Charger team put together in a 79-66 win over a very good Cedarville University team Saturday afternoon at the Dawn Tibbetts Potter Arena.
The win, Hillsdale's eighth in a row, makes it 16-5 overall and 12-2 in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference. The Chargers remain tied for first with their next opponent, Findlay, who's coming to town for a massive showdown next Saturday.
Four players scored in double figures and the team connected on 13 3-point baskets in a dazzling offensive performance against the Yellow Jackets' challenging matchup zone defense. Hillsdale was efficient on offense from every angle, recording 20 assists on 30 made field goals and shooting 49 percent from the field and 48 percent on 3-point shots.
The Yellow Jackets were the aggressor early however, jumping out to a 26-19 lead 13 minutes into the game. Keeping Hillsdale afloat during its tough start was sophomore Davis Larson, who was on fire to open the game. He scored 14 of the team's first 19 points, and scored in a wide array of ways, from quick-look layups to wide-open threes.
After Larson's three-point play gave the Chargers a 19-17 lead, they surrendered a 9-0 run that allowed the Jackets to take their biggest lead of the game. But by halftime, Hillsdale was back in front when everyone else chipped in on offense.
Hillsdale finished the half on a 19-9 run to take a three-point lead into halftime. Cedarville led 44-42 a few minutes into the second half when the Chargers simply took over.
The home team went wild, going on an 11-0 run that featured a 3-pointer by Harrison Niego, a breakaway dunk by Trenton Richardson and a high-arcing jumper by Austen Yarian. The Jackets would cut the lead to 4, but Hillsdale counter-punched with a 14-4 run to break the game open.
Larson would lead the team with 18 points, going 7-for-11 from the field while making three 3-point baskets. Niego added 17 with a season-high 4 steals. Yarian came off the bench to add 10 points, 4 rebounds and a season-high 6 assists.
Sophomore guard Connor Hill came off the bench to play 18 minutes and really put a stamp on this game with some terrific point guard play. He had 12 points and 3 steals, going 5-for-9 from the floor and 2-for-4 from 3-point range. His tough on-ball defense was also vitally important to the Chargers being able to shut the Cedarville defense down, particularly in the second half.
Hillsdale's eight-game winning streak is its longest since the 2011-12 season.

Tejas Verdes (Inside Intelligence)
By Elspeth Rudd | Published on Monday 19 August 2013
Set in Chile, during the aftermath of the Pinochet coup in 1973, 'Tejas Verdes' tells of the atrocities that went on in this infamous torture camp. The story gives voice to one young woman who disappeared, and what happened to her is revealed through the accounts of those around her. Madeline Potter effectively portrays the seven different characters that appear in this one-woman show, although it's not always immediately clear which character is speaking. This play is compelling, powerful, and difficult to listen to, as it details the unthinkable acts committed in Tejas Verdes. The sparse, unchanging set draws complete focus to the words, and leaves us with nothing else to do except listen.
Just Festival at St John's, until 26 Aug (not 14, 21), times vary.

Blake Lively and Penn Badgley on The View 11/20/07
Gossip Girl is back! Well, maybe not in exactly the same format or with the same cast that we knew before, but the same drama, backstabbing, and conniving that we all grew to know and love, will surely be a part of the new version of the show. News of the reboot has had fans going back and reexamining everything that they knew about the show and its cast. One of the best things about Gossip Girl was the relationships between the characters. Namely, the one between Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf. But apparently, the relationship between the actresses who played them, Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, was nowhere near as good. They were just too different. Leighton [on the other hand] was very removed and very quiet, and, after her scenes were done, she would wander the stage.
Watch the trailer. Title: Summer Kind of Wonderful 01 Sep As the summer of the Upper East Siders comes to a close, Blair returns from her summer trip to Europe with a charming new boyfriend, named James, just to make Chuck jealous when she takes him to the Hamptons to spend the last few weeks of the summer with her.
Rich, unreasonably attractive private school students do horrible, scandalous things to each other Dan makes elaborate plans to impress Serena on their first official date. Serena's world is turned upside down when her former partner in crime, Georgina Sparks, returns to Manhattan to stir up trouble Chuck In Real Life.
The relationship between Dan and Serena , also known as Derena, is the friendship and romantic relationship between Dan Humphrey and Serena van der Woodsen. Dan and Serena met at a party thrown by Blair Waldorf that Dan was accidentally invited to. They had a brief conversation that led to Dan having a huge crush on Serena. In Pilot , they accidentally run into each other at the The Palace Hotel and upon returning her cell phone; Serena asks Dan on a date.
They begin dating for the remainder of the first season before breaking up in Much 'I Do' About Nothing. They date briefly twice in the second season and then remain mostly off until season six. In the Gossip Girl series of books , Dan and Serena date very briefly but break up due to having nothing in common. Soon after, Serena's old friend Georgina Sparks comes back to the city to stir up trouble.
They later resolve their issues, but Serena tells Georgina she no longer wants to be in contact with her. After Georgina blackmails Serena with a video of the night where they witnessed Pete Fairman, a late mutual friend, die, Serena goes off the deep end. She's rescued by Blair, Nate, and Chuck, who try to keep Dan away from the situation. To keep Dan from knowing what she really did, Serena lies that she cheated on him and he tells her that he is done.
During Lily and Bart's rehearsal dinner, Lily goes with Serena to see the Fairman's and gain closure. Afterwards, Serena goes to find Dan but finds out that he's with Georgina; who is planning to seduce him Woman on the Verge.

It's official! And while the new series won't feature the iconic Serena van der Woodsen or Blair Waldorf, it will definitely be filled with some amazing new characters and, of course, a whole lot of relationship drama. Speaking of relationships, while we wait for more news on the upcoming series, let's take a look at what the OG cast is up to, relationship-wise, because as wild as some of the story lines on Gossip Girl got, nothing beats the casts IRL romances.
If you don't know about Blake's relationship status, you should probably remove yourself from the rock you've been under for, like, 9 years. Blake met her now husband, Ryan Reynolds, on the set of the superhero movie Green Lantern back in Penn and Blake broke up in September , while Scarlett and Ryan announced their divorce a few months later.

And almost 7 years ago we said goodbye to this superb show with a luxuriant atmosphere and our favorite characters Serena van der Woodsen, Dan Humphrey, Nate Archibald, and others.

Who did Leighton Meester date from the cast of Gossip Girl?

People could buy into this world. And it worked, Lively continued.
We will be talking about who Gossip Girl is, so if you're six years late on watching It's normal, and sometimes even exciting when we hear that our favorite actors are dating in real life. First of all, Serena and Dan in real life!
Gossip Girl is an American teen drama television series based on the novel series of the same name written by Cecily von Ziegesar. The series begins with the return of Upper East Side teenage " it girl " Serena van der Woodsen Blake Lively from a mysterious absence. She is reunited with her frenemy Blair Waldorf Leighton Meester and her mother Lily Kelly Rutherford , and she also meets Dan Humphrey Penn Badgley —an aspiring writer from Brooklyn who is one of Serena's main love interests throughout the show.
The success of Gossip Girl led to many adaptations outside the United States. The show received numerous award nominations and won 18 Teen Choice Awards. While set in the same continuity, this series focuses on a new cast of characters from a different perspective in the same setting—likened to that of a shared universe. Following a mysterious disappearance, Serena Van der Woodsen suddenly returns to the Upper East Side from boarding school to visit her suicidal brother, Eric.
Hey there, Upper East siders. It's been more than 10 years since Gossip Girl first premiered, but all these years later, the hit teen drama is somehow just as relevant as it once was. Talk about online trolls, guys. Gossip Girl knew everyone's secrets, so now, it's time for a little payback.
On-screen and off-screen, nearly ten years ago, Gossip Girl's Blake Lively and Penn Badgley—aka.
Gossip Girl was a revolution for TV series about high school drama, and it made teenagers everywhere want to attend high school in New York. The Upper East Siders seemed to have it all: money, looks, fashion, and a lot of power. Not to be cliche here, but with great power comes great Yep, all throughout the series we watched Serena, Blair, Chuck, and Nate okay, and Dan, too have great lows throughout their high school and college careers. It all turned out well in the end, as the final episode of the show that aired in showed us that all their lives turned out perfectly; because money can't buy happiness, but it sure helps.
This list isn't just about our favorite characters from the show. This list is what happened behind the scenes, and about the outrageous lives of the actors who made our favorite bratty teens come to life. Read on as we discuss 25 things that went on behind the scenes of Gossip Girl , and some of them may shock you.
Gossip Girl is returning to HBO Max with 10 juicy hour-long episodes , and will even feature the original eponymous narrator , Kristen Bell. The reboot will take place eight years after the final surprising twist ending that revealed the true identity of Gossip Girl, but there are no other details known about the plot, or whether the characters will be linked to the beloved original cast in any way. Will the new series be as juicy, delicious, and insane as the original?
Badgley and Blake Lively were dating in real life — just like their characters. a.k.a. Dan Humphrey) and Blake Lively (a.k.a. the Serena van der Woodsen) were But their love story will forever live on in Gossip Girl history.
S2 Fresh off almost does Jenny Humphrey in the when, Chuck recovered the shagging two of his father's hotel employees. S3 Georgina Sparks probably gave Dan a blow job all the way back in from 1. Two years later, that some casual screwing, they have a son maybe. S1, 3 From Dan got hot for teacher, that teacher was Ms.
S2 In the from between season's one and two, Dan hung around with Jeremiah Harris that slutted it up with lit-girls like this. S2 Blair accused Serena of smooching Nate Ronaldo over summer vacation, and we believe her. S3 Aaron Rose best a wispy bearded artist with monogamy issues, so, of course, it took Serena multiple episodes to realize he was the worst.
A decade ago, the CW launched Gossip Girl , a sudsy teen drama about boarding school kids with Birkins and drug habits. Everyone was obsessed with the show despite it being so ludicrously plotted that it spawned its very own Reality Index to score its every move. In fact, they actually reedited the pilot when test audiences figured out the secret too quickly. If he just wrote the post, why did he need to read it? Night Shyamalan that the creepy kid sees dead people and he bugged out!
He also uses Gossip Girl to help him find Jenny when she disappears to throw a guerrilla fashion show.
That you can get right: when serena and serena; vanessa's slept with guptas was no reason for the pics. Gossip girl dan and serena dating in real life.
Gossip Girl aired from to , causing the world to become entranced with the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite. It's time for a look back at the iconic show that featured young Blake Lively , Leighton Meester , and Penn Badgley and that had people mesmerized for half a decade. Is Gossip Girl as juicy and entertaining as it was when it first debuted? How has it aged in the modern era? And, most importantly, how believable is the big reveal of who Gossip Girl is when you watch the show as an adult?
One of the things that makes Dan Humphrey so different from the elite upper crust of Manhattan's Upper East Side is that he's from — gasp! In the world of Gossip Girl , this is a greater sin than wearing last season's Chanel. By Upper East Side standards, hailing from the not-exactly-cheap neighborhood of Williamsburg makes you part of the unpopular crowd. We're meant to feel sorry for Dan, the perpetual outsider, but the fact that he's from Brooklyn and goes to a school on the Upper East Side seems like a pretty contrived plot point that's just meant to differentiate Dan from him snobbier classmates.
First of all, Dan lives in a nice apartment in a nice neighborhood and is the son of a rock star.

Fans of Gossip Girl likely would have loved to date Dan Humphrey, but fans is "It girl" Serena Van der Woodsen, and an obsessive serial killer. But viewers can't help but wonder if Blake Lively is the only woman he's dated in real life. Because they did not want their personal drama to relate to the show.
As of today, it's exactly ten years since the pilot episode of Gossip Girl debuted, introducing us both to the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite, and to the sometimes equally-scandalous cast of actors who played our favorite Upper East Siders. While most of the gang were probably consummate professionals most of the time, thrusting a whole lot of very young actors very suddenly into the limelight is a surefire recipe for at least a little bit of scandal, as GG showrunners Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage knew well from their time on The O.
Here, we're revisiting nine of the most dramatic behind-the-scenes moments from the set of Gossip Girl. They wanted that, because then it fed their whole narrative. People could buy into this world. We were looking for a girl who was on the brink of becoming a woman—I don't think we saw that goth side yet [because] she was still really young; she was maybe, like, 13 when we cast her.

The 2016 NBA playoffs are off to a spectacular start with the first games for each match up in the books. The second game in Round 1 of the 2016 NBA Playoffs takes place this week and here are my game two free betting picks to cash in on.
The first game has Charlotte battling Miami on the road. That game is on NBA Television. Then, TNT broadcasts Detroit at Cleveland and Portland at the Los Angeles Clippers. Keep reading to see my best bets for Game 2 in the NBA Playoffs!
Miami pummeled Charlotte 123 to 91 in Game 1. The Heat held the Hornets to 43.1% from the field. The Hornets were only good on 6 out of 17 three-point shots. The beauty of what Miami did to the Hornets is that Dwayne Wade and Joe Johnson, 2 of the Heats' oldest players only hit the court for about 26 minutes each.
If the Heat can do that again on Wednesday night, forget about Round 1. Miami is going to find a way to get deep into the playoffs. As far as Game 2 is concerned, Kemba Walker and Nicolas Batum did their parts. Jeremy Lin and Marvin Williams didn't do their parts. Unless Lin has one of those magical scoring breakouts where he can't be stopped, it's hard to see the Heat losing Game 2 in this series. My NBA free pick is Miami.
Cleveland's 106 to 101 win over Detroit in Game 1 was closer than the 11 point spread indicated it was going to be. Detroit was more efficient from the field than Cleveland. The Pistons shot 50.7% from the field to Cleveland's 44.3%. They shot 51.7% from three to Cleveland's 34.3%.
If Detroit's defense comes up big on Wednesday night, the Cavs could be in some trouble. Andre Drummond dominated Tristan Thompson at the center position with 11 boards to Thompson's 6 and 13 points to Thompson's 2. That's a bad matchup for Cleveland.
I think Detroit has a shot to win Game 2 versus the Cavaliers on Wednesday night. To me, this looks like a 7 game Round 1 NBA Playoff Series and my free pick is Detroit.
The L.A. Clippers dominated Portland 115 to 95 in Round 1of the NBA Playoffs. The Clippers held Damian Lillard in check. Lillard averages 25.1 points, 4 boards and 6.8 assists per game. Versus the Clippers on Sunday, he scored 21 points and grabbed only 2 boards.
He did dish 8 assists but LAC's size, with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, was just too much for the Trailblazers. Griffin grabbed 12 boards and scored 16 points. Jordan also grabbed 12 boards. He scored 18 points. Chris Paul added a double-double with 11 assists and 28 points. My free pick is L.A. to beat Portland.

Falmouth to Falmouth Rum Race 2012
Pendennis and Antigua Yacht Club partner to organise a 'fun' Transatlantic regatta to form part of the 2012 Olympic superyacht programme
Following dockside chat during the St Barth's Bucket, a number of yachts and crew have expressed interest in a race to the UK which follows a similar format to the "Route de Rosé" – a yacht race to encourage yachts to St Barthelemy. Traditionally, the race started in St Tropez at the end of the Mediterranean season in mid October, and finished in St Barth's at the start of the Caribbean season on the first Saturday of December. All yachts were required to load several cases of Rosé aboard, with the condition that one case had to be landed on the dock in St Barth's for the grand celebrations at the end of the race. The winner was decided by the shortest accumulative time taken only when on course to St Barth's – allowing yachts to start at different times, or stop off on the way.
The Falmouth – Falmouth Rum Race will run in the opposite direction to the traditional Route de Rosé – the event will begin at the Antigua Yacht Club in Falmouth Harbour as a fleet start, following Antigua classics with the option for yachts to start earlier if they prefer, with a possible stop in the Azores on route. The entry fee will be $500 and a case of rum to be consumed at the finish in Falmouth UK at the dockside party.
Kenny Coombs of Antigua Yacht Club commented, "We are very pleased to be involved in this exciting new event on the yachting calendar. The Falmouth – Falmouth link will no doubt attract a great number of yachts to link up with a number of fantastic UK-based regattas in 2012."
Shortly after the finish there will be two big events in Falmouth UK, namely the J-Class regatta and Pendennis Cup. Yachts will then either continue east to participate in the many events on the Olympic calendar or head down to the Mediterranean for the summer season.
Toby Allies of Pendennis added, "Falmouth has a long history of yacht racing and hosting sailing events and the 2012 "Rum Race" will provide a fantastic start to the 2012 yachting programme in the UK."
The finish will be organised by the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club and interested yachts should contact Pendennis on +44 (0)1326 211344.

L'akepa di Oahu, o più correttamente 'akepa di Oʻahu (Loxops wolstenholmei ()) è un uccello passeriforme estinto della famiglia Fringillidae.

Etimologia
Il nome scientifico di questi uccelli, wolstenholmei, venne scelto da Rothschild in omaggio a Ted Wolstenholme, assistente di Henry Palmer, il quale gli procurò gli esemplari da lui successivamente utilizzati per la descrizione scientifica della specie.

Descrizione

Dimensioni
Misura circa 10 cm di lunghezza.

Aspetto
L'aspetto è tipamente fringilliforme, massiccio e arrotondato, con grossa testa e becco conico caratteristiche punte leggermente incrociate.
La livrea di questi uccelli si presentava di colore rosso mattone nei maschi e giallino nelle femmine: in ambo i sessi, la parte dorsale era più scura e dalle decise sfumature bruno-oliva, le remiganti primarie e la coda erano nerastre, così come dello stesso colore apparivano becco e zampe, mentre gli occhi erano di colore bruno scuro.

Biologia
Si trattava di uccelli dalle abitudini diurne, che si muovevano in coppie o in gruppetti familiari alla ricerca di cibo.

Alimentazione
Il nutrimento dell'akepa di Oahu era costituito prevalentemente da insetti ed altri piccoli invertebrati (e forse in misura minore anche da nettare), i quali venivano reperiti all'interno dei boccioli delle piante, opportunamente sondati e aperti mediante il becco appositamente conformato.

Riproduzione
Poco si sa riguardo alla riproduzione di questi uccelli, tuttavia si ritiene che essa (così come l'intero ciclo vitale) seguisse modalità e tempistiche paragonabili a quelle degli altri drepanidini ed in particolare dell'akepa di Hawaii, del quale l'akepa di Oahu è stato a lungo considerato una sottospecie.

Distribuzione e habitat
Come intuibile dal nome comune, l'akepa di Oahu era endemico dell'omonima isola nell'omonimo arcipelago, della quale popolava i boschi con predominanza di specie native, in particolar modo ohia lehua e koa, fra i rami delle quali reperiva il nutrimento.

Tassonomia
Classificato nel 1827 da Andrew Bloxam col nome di Fringilla rufa a partire da esemplari ottenuti due anni prima, alla fine del XIX secolo Rothschild (ignaro di avere a che fare con una specie già classificata in precedenza) nominò questi animali Loxops wolstenholmei, salvo poi accorgersi dell'errore e recuperare la classificazione precedente utilizzando il nome Loxops rufa. L'epiteto wolstenholmei venne però nuovamente utilizzato quando il nome Fringilla rufa risultò essere un sinonimo di Passerella iliaca utilizzato da Carlo Luciano Bonaparte in precedenza, e quindi privo di validità.

Per lungo tempo, l'akepa di Oahu è stato considerato una sottospecie dell'affine akepa di Hawaii, col nome di Loxops coccineus wolstenholmei: le differenze cromatiche e di abitudini di costruzione del nido, oltre alle recenti analisi del DNA, hanno invece sancito la separazione dalla specie di Big Island e l'elevazione al rango di specie a sé stante per questi uccelli.

Estinzione
Lo status di sottospecie dell'akepa di Hawaii ha impedito che venissero fatti studi approfonditi sull'akepa di Oahu: tuttavia, questi uccelli (in maniera simile a quanto verificatosi in tutti i drepanidini hawaiiani) hanno sofferto terribilmente durante il XX secolo a causa della distruzione dell'habitat, della competizione con le specie introdotte nell'arcipelago,  e soprattutto dell'arrivo di nuove malattie (vaiolo aviario e malaria aviaria), alle quali essi non erano immunizzati. Oltre agli individui catturati per le descrizioni scientifiche della specie, rispettivamente nel 1825 e nel 1893, l'ultimo avvistamento certo di questi uccelli risale al 1900, quando Perkins (grande conoscitore della fauna dell'arcipelago e rifornitore di Rothschild) ne osservò due individui a Wahiawa: non essendo più stato osservato da allora, l'akepa di Oahu viene attualmente considerato estinto.

Ossified Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (OPLL)
The posterior longitudinal ligament is a long ligament that runs from the base of the skull to the sacrum. It provides a significant amount of mechanical integrity to the spinal column. The ligament runs down the back of the vertebral bodies just in front of the spinal cord itself.
In some individuals this ligament becomes ossified, which means that it takes on a bone like quality. As a result, its overall size and hardness increase. Given the ligament's intimate location adjacent to the spinal cord, any increase in the girth or flexibility of the ligament can cause injury to the cord.
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament can occur at multiple spots along the spinal column. The most common spot is in the cervical spine (usually C2 to C6), but ossification can also occur in the thoracic (usually T4 to T7) and lumbar spine as well.
Exactly why the longitudinal ligament ossifies in some people is unknown. Current thinking is that a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors play a role in its pathology. For example, family studies have shown increased rates of OPLL in first degree relatives of people known to have the disorder. OPLL is also more common in people of Japanese and Korean descent.
Both familial and racial linkage usually indicate a genetic component to the disease. In fact, patients with OPLL have higher rates of dysfunctional collagen gene regulation (specifically, type XI and VI collagens). Linkage to specific human leukocyte antigen haplotypes on chromosome 6 have also been implemented.
Lifestyle factors such as diet have also been shown to increase risk. Patient's who are diabetic or pre-diabetic have higher rates of OPLL compared to the rest of the population. High protein diets seems to decrease the risk, whereas high salt diets seem to increase risk.
Overall, the reasons why the posterior longitudinal ligament ossifies in some people, but not others remains an area of ongoing debate and research.
When an ossified posterior longitudinal ligament pushes on the spinal cord it causes numerous signs and symptoms. The constellation of clinical findings seen in patient's with symptomatic ossified posterior longitudinal ligaments is known as myelopathy.
Myelopathic patients present with a combination of weakness, clumsiness (ie: decreased ability to hold objects), bowel or bladder dysfunction, spasticity - which is manifested as increased reflexes, as well as changes in sensation (ie: numbness, tingling, etc.).
Myelopathy can be subtle at first, but can become debilitating depending on how much compression of the cord is present.
Diagnosis and Classification
Diagnosis of an ossified posterior longitudinal ligament is usually made when a patient presents with myelopathic features, or after neurological injury from a traumatic event.
Imaging studies such as xrays and CT scans illustrate the bony quality of the ligament. MRIs are frequently ordered to assess how "squashed" the spinal cord is. CT myelograms also provide excellent detail of cord compression when MRI is not feasible.
The ossification is classified according to its anatomic location and continuity. There are four distinct patterns. They include a continuous pattern, in which there is ossification behind both the vertebral bodies and the disc spaces. The second pattern is known as segmental; in this type the ossification is only present behind the vertebral bodies and does not span the disc spaces. The third pattern is localized, which means that the ossified ligament is present and localized behind only one vertebral body. Finally, there is a mixed type, which is a combination of continuous and segmental.
The problem with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament is that it progresses over time. Slowly, the ligament will compress the spinal cord. Therefore, surgical treatment is typically offered at the first sign of spinal cord compression (ie: myelopathy).
The best surgical treatment is controversial. Approaching the spine from the front (ie: anterior approach) allows direct removal of the ossified ligament. However, it is important to note that the ligament is often stuck to the dura mater overlying the spinal cord which can make dissection extremely difficult. A cerebrospinal fluid leak is not uncommon when an anterior approach is taken, and there is an increased risk of inadvertent injury to the spinal cord. That being said, when successful, surgery from the front offers several distinct advantages. The first is that myelopathic symptoms seem to respond better to this type of approach; in addition, removal of the ossified ligament can retard further progression of the disease.
The second surgical option is to approach the spine from the back (ie: posterior approach). Removing the bone behind the spinal cord allows the cord to "drift" backwards away from the ossified ligament. This approach is considered more safe because there is no direct removal of the ossified ligament, and therefore there is a decreased risk of inadvertent cord injury. That being said, progression of the ossification can still occur and myelopathic symptoms do not respond as well to this type of surgery.
Ultimately, the type of surgery offered - anterior versus posterior - is dictated by the severity of the ossification and symptoms present, as well as the preferred approach of the surgeon.
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament is seen more commonly in patients of Japanese descent. There are genetic factors that appear to increase risk. Symptoms are related to compression of the spinal cord by the ossified ligament. Ossification is progressive in nature. Treatment consists of surgery from either an anterior, posterior, or combined approach.

Supporting palliative care in Scotland
PATCH charity supports End of Life Care student project
Posted: 11 March, 2019
The Chairman of the Scottish palliative care charity PATCH, Sir Michael Nairn, has visited Ninewells Hospital to meet with clinicians and final year medical students involved in an innovative communications programme.

NHS Tayside Press Release – 6 March 2019 – PATCH has donated £34,000 to support clinicians and communication skills tutors to create and deliver a specialist communications course for medical students tackling end-of-life conversations. This course is supported by NHS Tayside and the University of Dundee and is part of a four-year charity-funded project.
Sir Michael participated in one of the teaching sessions funded by the charity. He was welcomed by Dr Fiona McFatter Palliative Medicine Consultant, who explained the importance of the communication sessions which are now delivered as a core part of the medical undergraduate course.
Palliation and the Caring Hospital (PATCH) is the first charity specifically to support 24/7 specialist palliative care for patients in hospital, by funding hospitals to provide resources such as dedicated beds, staff training, advisory services and research.
Dr McFatter, who is also Undergraduate Teaching Lead for Palliative Medicine, said:
We are delighted that PATCH is supporting this very important project. Research shows that medical students and junior doctors do not feel well prepared for talking with patients and relatives about end of life care and dying.
This project will help to improve communication around death and dying and, in doing so, help meet patients' wishes at the end of life.
The course aims to help students manage difficult conversations with families and patients, focusing on care in the last weeks of life, treatment decisions and their wishes for end-of-life care. The aim is to prepare students for work as Foundation Doctors and enable them to have these conversations in a supportive and sensitive way that helps patients and their families.
Sir Michael Nairn said:
I am delighted to have seen first hand the outstanding work being done by the University of Dundee Medical School and Ninewells Hospital in the training of medical students in such an important aspect of their future professional work. Modern medicine is impressively advanced in so many ways, but life will come to its end for all of us and the doctor will so often play a pivotal role in events leading to death – both with the patient and the members of the patient's close family.
This course, I am sure, will contribute significantly towards giving confidence to young doctors in sensitive handling of difficult emotional issues for patients and their families in times of great personal stress.
Final year medical students were introduced to challenging scenarios through videos, group discussions and simulated patient consultations which explored the sensitive subjects of dying, death and bereavement.
Sir Michael also took the opportunity to meet with clinicians who developed the course and to chat with final year medical students and hear feedback on the difference the course made to them. He was also able to speak with the simulated patients who are integral to the success of the course.

Prize winner 2009
The Danish film director Lars von Trier and producer Meta Louise Foldager win the Nordic Council Film Prize 2009.
The jury summarises its choice of winner:
"Lars von Trier's Antichrist is a wild, visually beautiful and shockingly violent film about sorrow, rage and guilt. Disturbing and moving at the same time it explores the chaos that invades the two characters' lives following the death of their young son. It is a passionate account of the irrational forces of emotions and nature, which neither reason nor cognitive therapy can master. It breaks down the boundaries between inner and outer realities, as it digs deep into the innermost beings of its protagonists.
With total freedom of expression Lars von Trier stages the couples' dream/nightmare as precisely as possible, and mercilessly plays with the disruption of the delicate gender balance in their relationship. Perfectly phrased in the imagery and acting, with a richness in its cultural references, ANTICHRIST puts the cinematically, psychologically and physically familiar into a challenging and unfamiliar context.
Out of this visionary work rises a darkness without contours, a chilling loneliness, as well as pain as the primal force of human survival. In his unmistakably, deeply personal way Lars von Trier questions convenient religious thought and attacks accepted rational and controlling ambitions, pushing the viewers towards the edge of their own deepest fears."
The Nordic Council Film Prize Jury 2009: Senior lecturer Anne Jerslev (Denmark), editor Johanna Grönqvist (Finland), author Sjon (Iceland), film critic Le LD Nguyen (Norway), film critic Eva af Geijerstam (Sweden).
ANTICHRIST had its premiere in Cannes 2009, where it competed in the main feature films competition, and in which Charlotte Gainsbourg won the prize for the best actress. The film which has since taken part in festivals around the world had its Danish premiere in May 2009 with subsequent premieres in Italy, Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Switzerland, Great Britain, Spain, Germany and Belgium. ANTICHRIST has its premiere in the USA on 23 October and after that it will open in Holland and Austria, amongst others.
"It is with a great sense of pride, pleasure and honour on behalf of the film that I thank the Nordic Council for this recognition for Antichrist. I also want to thank all the brave and sound investors, institutions and people who have helped bring Lars von Trier's Antichrist into the world.
We, in the Nordic countries, are among the few people in the world who have such surplus energy that I believe there is a duty that comes with all these privileges to explore art and to expand creativity. There are not very many places in the world where artists have such great freedom as here in the Nordic countries, where financial funding and support is even given by the state and, public institutions. It is absolutely crucial for our artistic freedom and creative development as human beings. If we do not take this on we do not have the right to be so privileged. So I believe that we must take the jury's choice as a challenge to continue to live up to our Nordic cultural heritage, with our special privileged status, and make sure that we are constantly those who can and will widen our cultural horizons and raise the creative bar!" says the film's producer Meta Foldager.
The Nordic Council Film Prize is awarded to a feature film of cultural value produced in the Nordic countries and is divided equally between the film's director, scriptwriter and producer, which underlines that film as an art form is the result of close co-operation between these three main functions. The prize is worth DKK 350,000 and will be presented in conjunction with the Nordic Council's Session in Stockholm on 27 October.
The Nordic Council Film Prize is just one of several prizes awarded by the Nordic Council. It also gives out a literature prize, a music prize and a nature and environment prize every year. The objective of these prizes is to increase interest in literature, language, music and film between the Nordic countries.
The film prize was awarded for the first time in conjunction with the Council's 50th anniversary in 2002 and went to the Aki Kaurismäki for the Finnish film THE MAN WITHOUT A PAST. The Nordic Film Prize has been an annual recurring event since 2005 and has gone to Per Fly (2005) for the Danish film MANSLAUGHTER, Josef Fares (2006) for the Swedish film ZOZO, Peter Schønau Fog (2007) for the Danish film THE ART OF CRYING, and was awarded last year to Roy Andersson for the Swedish film YOU, THE LIVING.
Five Nordic films competed for this prestigious prize in 2009. Apart from ANTICHRIST the other films were; SAUNA (Finland), THE AMAZING TRUTH ABOUT QUEEN RAQUELA (Iceland), NORD (Norway) and LJUSÅR (Sweden).
Press photos from the winning film as well as new photos of the two prize winners, who have received the jury's motivation today, can be downloaded from www.nordiskrådsfilmpris.com, where there are also trailers, descriptions and photos of the other nominated films etc.
TV interview with Lars von Trier is available for all TV stations via DR TV, Nordvision and EBU.
