Westchester County is located in the feckin' U.S. G'wan now. state of New York. Soft oul' day. It is the seventh most populous county in New York and the most populous north of New York City.[5] Accordin' to the feckin' 2020 United States Census, the county had a feckin' population of 1,004,457, an increase of 55,344 (5.8%) from the oul' 949,113 counted in 2010. Here's another quare one. Situated in the feckin' Hudson Valley, Westchester covers an area of 450 square miles (1,200 km2), consistin' of six cities, 19 towns, and 23 villages, would ye swally that? Established in 1683, Westchester was named after the city of Chester, England.[6][7] The county seat is the feckin' city of White Plains, while the bleedin' most populous municipality in the oul' county is the bleedin' city of Yonkers, with 211,569 residents per the 2020 U.S. Jesus, Mary and holy Saint Joseph. Census.
The annual per capita income for Westchester was $67,813 in 2011. The 2011 median household income of $77,006 was the feckin' fifth highest in New York (after Nassau, Putnam, Suffolk, and Rockland counties) and the bleedin' 47th highest in the United States.[8] By 2014, the county's median household income had risen to $83,422.[9] Westchester County ranks second in the oul' state after New York County for median income per person, with a feckin' higher concentration of incomes in smaller households. In fairness now. Simultaneously, Westchester County had the feckin' highest property taxes of any county in the oul' United States in 2013.[10]
Westchester County is one of the centrally located counties within the feckin' New York metropolitan area, grand so. The county is positioned with New York City, plus Nassau and Suffolk counties (on Long Island, across Long Island Sound), to its south; Putnam County to its north; Fairfield County, Connecticut to its east; and Rockland County and Bergen County, New Jersey across the feckin' Hudson River to the feckin' west. Holy blatherin' Joseph, listen to this. Westchester was the first suburban area of its scale in the oul' world to develop, due mostly to the oul' upper-middle-class development of entire communities in the bleedin' late 19th century and the oul' subsequent rapid population growth.[11] Because of Westchester's numerous road and mass transit connections to New York City, as well as its shared border with the bleedin' Bronx, the bleedin' 20th and 21st centuries have seen much of the oul' county, particularly the southern portion, become nearly as densely developed as New York City itself.[citation needed]

. C'mere til I tell ya. They called the bleedin' region Lenapehokin', which consisted of the area around and between the oul' Delaware and Hudson Rivers. Several different tribes occupied the oul' area, includin' The Manhattans, and the feckin' Weckquaesgeek and Siwanoy bands of the feckin' Wappinger in the feckin' south, and Tankiteke, Sintsink and Kitchawank Wappinger in the bleedin' north.
The first European explorers to visit the bleedin' Westchester area were Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524 and Henry Hudson in 1609. Sufferin' Jaysus. Dutch settlers began arrivin' in the 1620s, followed by settlers from England in the bleedin' 1640s. Right so. Westchester County was one of the oul' original twelve counties of the oul' Province of New York, created by an act of the bleedin' New York General Assembly in 1683. Here's a quare one. At the time it included present-day Bronx County, and abutted then-Dutchess County to the north. Arra' would ye listen to this shite? By 1775, Westchester was the bleedin' richest and most populous county in the bleedin' colony of New York, the hoor. Although the feckin' Revolutionary War devastated the county, recovery after the war was rapid. Bejaysus here's a quare one right here now. In 1788, five years after the end of the bleedin' war, the feckin' county was divided into 20 towns. In 1798, the oul' first federal census recorded an oul' population of 24,000 for the oul' county.
Two developments in the feckin' first half of the bleedin' 19th century—the construction of the feckin' first Croton Dam and Aqueduct, and the comin' of the feckin' railroad—had enormous impacts on the bleedin' growth of Westchester. The Croton Dam and Aqueduct was begun in 1837 and completed in 1842; now a National Historic Landmark, the Croton Aqueduct is considered one of the feckin' great engineerin' achievements of the 19th century. Sure this is it. In the 1840s, the feckin' first railroads were built in Westchester, and included the feckin' New York and Harlem Railroad, the Hudson River Railroad,[nb 2] and the bleedin' New York and New Haven Railroad. The railroads often determined the growth of a feckin' town, and the oul' population shifted from Northern to Southern Westchester. Sufferin' Jaysus. By 1860, the total county population was 99,000, with the most populated city bein' Yonkers.
The period followin' the feckin' American Civil War enabled entrepreneurs in the bleedin' New York area to create fortunes, and many built large estates, such as Lyndhurst, in Westchester. Durin' the feckin' latter half of the oul' 19th century, Westchester's transportation system and labor force attracted a holy manufacturin' base, particularly along the oul' Hudson River and Nepperhan Creek. Bejaysus here's a quare one right here now. In 1874, the western portion of the feckin' present Bronx County was transferred to New York County, and in 1895 the remainder of the bleedin' present Bronx County was also transferred to New York County. These would later split from Manhattan to form a feckin' county.
Durin' the feckin' 20th century, the feckin' rural character of Westchester would transform into the suburban county known today. The Bronx River Parkway, completed in 1925, was the first modern, multi-lane limited-access roadway in North America. The development of Westchester's parks and parkway systems supported existin' communities and encouraged the oul' establishment of new ones, transformin' the bleedin' development pattern for Westchester. With the bleedin' need for homes expandin' after World War II, multistory apartment houses appeared in the urbanized areas of the feckin' county, while the bleedin' market for single-family houses continued to expand, for the craic. By 1950, the total county population was 625,816, you know yerself. Major interstate highways were constructed in Westchester durin' the feckin' 1950s and 1960s. Sufferin' Jaysus. The establishment of these roadways, along with the construction of the Tappan Zee Bridge, led to further growth in the oul' county.
New York National Guard deployed at the bleedin' New Rochelle Containment Zone which was the initial hotspot of the bleedin' COVID-19 pandemic on the east coast of the feckin' United States
Durin' the oul' COVID-19 pandemic, on March 10, the oul' state government ordered an oul' one square mile "containment zone" in the northern part of the oul' city of New Rochelle. Part of New Rochelle is adjacent to the Bronx, where the bleedin' majority of New York State's COVID-19 positive cases were (as of May 8, 350,000 out of 20 million residents). In fairness now. As of April 22 there were a total of 25,276 cases, 838 deaths, and 9,371 recoveries. Would ye believe this shite?As of May 22, 2020, there were between 30 and 35,000 cases goin' both by COVID-19 testin' and serological samples, constitutin' the bleedin' highest number of highest per capita infections in the world: 3% out of 1 million residents.[citation needed]
Harbors, islands and shoreline of New Rochelle
Westchester County is located in the oul' New York metropolitan area and Downstate New York, north of New York City and south of Upstate New York. It shares its southern boundary with New York City and its northern border with Putnam County. It is bordered on the oul' west side by the Hudson River and on the oul' east side by the oul' Long Island Sound and Fairfield County, Connecticut. C'mere til I tell ya. Accordin' to the oul' U.S. Census Bureau, the oul' county has a bleedin' total area of 500 square miles (1,300 km2), of which 430 square miles (1,100 km2) is land and 69 square miles (180 km2) (14%) is water.[12]
Where Pelham Manor meets Pelham Bay Park in the feckin' Bronx, the oul' southern border of Westchester is just under 11 miles (18 km) from Columbus Circle in Manhattan, game ball! At over 2,700 acres (11 km2), Pelham Bay Park is the bleedin' largest of New York City's parks, formin' an oul' substantial buffer between suburban Westchester and the urban Bronx, while Van Cortlandt Park to the bleedin' west acts as a holy similar buffer.
Long Island Sound shore[edit]
Philipsburg Manor House in Sleepy Hollow
Westchester's Long Island Sound shore is generally rocky, interspersed with tidal mud flats, marshes and wetlands, as well as several natural and artificially-maintained sand beaches, you know yourself like. Municipal and county owned parks provide access to beaches, nature preserves and passive and active waterfront recreational facilities. Several large harbors lie along the feckin' shore includin' Milton Harbor in Rye, Mamaroneck Harbor, Larchmont Harbor, and Echo Bay, and the upper and lower harbors in southern New Rochelle.
A number of islands can be found off the Long Island Sound shore, most of which are located in New Rochelle. Would ye swally this in a minute now?Davids' Island, the former location of the bleedin' U.S. Here's a quare one for ye. Army's Fort Slocum, is currently unoccupied but is shlated for use as passive parkland; Glen Island, currently a bleedin' Westchester Parks Department run beach and park, was one of the first amusement parks in the feckin' country servin' as a summer resort at the turn of the feckin' twentieth century; Huckleberry Island is largely undeveloped, and has one of the bleedin' largest rookeries in western Long Island Sound; Echo Island is owned and used by a private yacht club; Execution Rocks is the oul' site of an oul' 19th-century lighthouse listed on the oul' National Register of Historic Places; Columbia, Pea, and Goose Islands are undeveloped; Clifford, Harrison and Tank Islands are part of the "Five Islands Park" and nature preserve; while Oak and Pine Islands are used as private residences.
Hudson River[edit]
The widest section of the oul' Hudson River, at 3.6 miles (6 km), is found between the oul' Westchester and Rockland County shorelines immediately north of Croton Point. In fairness now. In Colonial times, this area was called the feckin' Tappan Zee or Sea. Whisht now and eist liom. The Hudson River is tidal and brackish through Westchester and contains a small number of estuarine marshes. Sure this is it. Two bridges span the oul' Hudson in Westchester: the oul' Bear Mountain Bridge crosses at Cortlandt and the Tappan Zee Bridge at Tarrytown. Bejaysus here's a quare one right here now. Municipal, county and state-owned parks provide access to waterfront landmarks and sites, includin' Croton Point in Croton, Kingsland Point in Sleepy Hollow and JFK Memorial Marina in Yonkers.
The Hudson River waterfront in Westchester is in a feckin' transitional period, convertin' from primarily industrial uses to mixed residential, commercial, retail, and recreational uses. This transformation is most notable in Yonkers, Hastings-on-Hudson, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Ossinin', and Peekskill, where redevelopment projects are in various stages of design and completion, the shitehawk. In 2004, the oul' county began a feckin' project to create Westchester RiverWalk, a walkway along the Hudson River of 51.5 miles (80 km) which will provide pedestrian access between New York City and Putnam County. 32.9 miles of the feckin' route are complete and accessible.[13]
At 987 feet (301 m), the oul' highest elevation in the feckin' county is a bleedin' U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey benchmark known as "Bailey" in Mountain Lakes Park near the Connecticut state line.[14] The lowest elevation is sea level, along both the feckin' Hudson and Long Island Sound.
Watersheds[edit]
The New Croton Reservoir is the feckin' largest of many in the county.
Westchester County is divided into six primary drainage basins or watersheds: the Upper and Lower Long Island Sound; and the oul' Bronx, Upper Hudson, Lower Hudson, and Croton River basins. Within these primary drainage basins are approximately 60 smaller basins, or subwatersheds. Arra' would ye listen to this shite? The principal streams drainin' the bleedin' southern part of the bleedin' county include Beaver Swamp Brook, Blind Brook, Bronx River, Hutchinson River, Mamaroneck River, Saw Mill River, Sheldrake River, Stephenson Brook and Tibbetts Brook. Me head is hurtin' with all this raidin'. The primary streams drainin' the central part of the feckin' county include Byram River, Kisco River, Mianus River, Mill River, Pocantico River and Silvermine River. The principal streams drainin' the bleedin' northern part of the feckin' county include Dickey Brook, Furnace Brook, Hallocks Mill Brook, Hunter Brook, Muscoot River, Peekskill Hollow Brook, and Titicus River. The county contains several major reservoirs; The Croton system and the oul' Kensico Reservoir are important components of the feckin' New York City water supply system. Holy blatherin' Joseph, listen to this. The system is a holy series of interconnected reservoirs and lakes in northern Westchester and Putnam Counties that provide 10% of New York City's water under normal conditions and up to 30% in times of drought. The components of the oul' system include the feckin' New Croton Reservoir, the feckin' Cross River Reservoir, the Titicus Reservoir, the feckin' Amawalk Reservoir, and the oul' Muscoot Reservoir. Holy blatherin' Joseph, listen to this. Other major reservoirs are the Kensico and Byram Lake Reservoir, while there are a feckin' number of smaller reservoirs throughout the county.
The Westchester County Department of Plannin' divides the feckin' county into North, Central and South sub-regions.[15]
Geology[edit]
The rock that underlies Manhattan and Westchester is chiefly gneiss and mica-schist, with layers of dolomitic marble and serpentine.
Climate[edit]
The climate of Westchester County is primarily a feckin' humid subtropical climate (Koppen Cfa), with higher elevations borderin' on a feckin' humid continental climate, you know yerself. Winters are cold, wet, and occasionally snowy throughout the county, with more snow inland in higher elevations, enda story. Summers are hot inland but cooler towards the coast, with somewhat of a holy relative dryness in the bleedin' early part of summer. Would ye believe this shite?Precipitation is plentiful and in some elevated areas reaches over 50 inches. Be the holy feck, this is a quare wan. Snowfall is more common in Westchester than in New York City, with the feckin' exception of the feckin' southeast of the feckin' county where snowfall is often between 20 and 25 inches, what? In January, inland areas have a bleedin' low of 21-26 °F and an oul' high of 34-37 °F while coastal areas have a holy low of 27-30 °F and a bleedin' high of 38-41 °F. Would ye swally this in a minute now?In the feckin' summer, this effect is much milder. Bejaysus this is a quare tale altogether. Coastal areas, includin' Mamaroneck, New Rochelle, Rye, and Port Chester have highs of 81-83 °F and lows of 68-73 °F, while inland highs will be 84-87 °F and lows will be 65-70 °F, bedad. Winds can be heavy, especially by the feckin' coast.

Communities[edit]
Municipalities in Westchester County, New York
Westchester County has six cities, 19 towns, and 23 villages.
Cities in Westchester have many well established sub-areas within the municipal boundaries. Bejaysus. Many of these are similar to hamlets and date back to as early as the bleedin' late 1600s such as Cooper's Corners in New Rochelle. These areas also include some of the feckin' first planned communities in the oul' country such as New Rochelle's Residence Park, Rochelle Park and Heights and Sutton Manor.
The six cities in the oul' county are:[22]
Area (mi2)
(Pop. In fairness now. per mi2)
Founded/first
Yonkers 195,976 20.3 10,818.2 1646 / 1854 3rd most populated city in New York State
New Rochelle 77,062 13.2 6,973.5 1688 / 1899 7th most populated city in New York State
Mount Vernon 67,292 4.4 15,288 1664 / 1853 8th most populated city in New York State
White Plains 56,853 9.9 5,820 1721 11th most populated city in New York State, also Westchester County seat
Peekskill 23,583 5.5 5,189.7 1684 / 1816 29th most populated city in New York State
Rye 15,720 20.0 2,710 1660 / 1904 37th most populated city in New York State, also the feckin' name of a holy town
Any land area in the feckin' county that is not contained in one of the feckin' cities is in an oul' town. C'mere til I tell yiz. A town may have from zero to multiple villages. Bejaysus this is a quare tale altogether. A village can be located in more than one town, as two of Westchester's villages are.[nb 3] The largest city in the oul' county by population is Yonkers with nearly 200,000 residents. Jesus, Mary and holy Saint Joseph. The city with the feckin' highest population density is Mount Vernon with a density of 15,564 individuals per square mile.[23][24]
The towns of Harrison, Mount Kisco, and Scarsdale are coterminous with the bleedin' village of the same name. Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Two villages are split between two towns - Briarcliff Manor crosses the bleedin' border between Ossinin' town and Mount Pleasant, and Mamaroneck village straddles the feckin' boundary between Mamaroneck town and Rye town.
With the oul' exception of the towns of Rye, Pelham, Harrison, Mount Kisco, and Scarsdale, all the oul' towns contain area and residents which do not belong to any village. Listen up now to this fierce wan. These areas may contain communities referred to as hamlets, or "unincorporated areas". Hamlets have no legal status and depend upon the oul' town for all municipal government and services. Right so. There are also areas called census-designated places (CDPs), which are defined by the feckin' U.S. Census Bureau for statistical purposes only. C'mere til I tell ya now. A CDP may or may not correspond to a holy hamlet.
Because some municipalities have the feckin' same name, it is often necessary to indicate whether one is referrin' to the feckin' city, town, village, or hamlet. Would ye swally this in a minute now?For example, the feckin' town of Rye is completely separate from the oul' city of Rye. Bejaysus. Pelham is the oul' name of a feckin' town and also of a feckin' village in the town. The village of Mamaroneck is located partially in the bleedin' town of Mamaroneck and partially in the town of Rye, but has nothin' to do with the bleedin' city of Rye.
All of the towns have justice courts, and some of the bleedin' villages do as well.

Westchester County generally leans toward the feckin' political left. It last voted for the Republican nominee for president in 1988.
Historically, Westchester County was a bleedin' classic "Yankee Republican" county. Holy blatherin' Joseph, listen to this. It supported Republican presidential candidates in all but two elections from 1896 to 1988, for the craic. The only exceptions were 1912, when the GOP was divided between William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, and 1964, when Lyndon B, be the hokey! Johnson won a national landslide and swept every county in New York. G'wan now and listen to this wan. However, it swung Democratic in the bleedin' early 1990s—much like other New York City suburbs, that's fierce now what? In the oul' most recent national elections, Westchester voters tended to be far more Democratic than the oul' national average, what? In fact, Westchester, after New York City and Albany County, has produced the biggest margins for statewide Democrats in recent years, bejaysus. Democratic voters are mainly concentrated in the bleedin' more populated southern and central parts of the county. More than 63 percent of Westchester County voters voted for Barack Obama in the bleedin' 2008 presidential race, the seventh-highest percentage of any New York county.
Currently, all three U.S, the cute hoor. congressional representatives from Westchester County are Democrats. Jesus, Mary and holy Saint Joseph. Mondaire Jones and Jamaal Bowman represent most of the feckin' county, to be sure. Jones' district covers most of the county's central and northwestern portions, includin' White Plains, Chappaqua, and Tarrytown, and reaches into Rockland County. Be the hokey here's a quare wan. Bowman's district is based in the oul' Bronx, but includes most of the oul' southern half of the county, includin' Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle and Rye. Listen up now to this fierce wan. The northeastern portion of the bleedin' county is represented by Democrat Sean Patrick Maloney, a feckin' former advisor to Bill Clinton, who was elected in 2012, defeatin' Republican incumbent Nan Hayworth. Maloney's district includes the feckin' towns of Bedford, Somers, Pound Ridge, North Salem, Lewisboro, and a portion of North Castle.[40]
However, Republicans remain competitive with Democrats in state and local elections. Bejaysus. For instance, it voted for Republican George Pataki, by a margin of 23.07% against Democratic candidate, Carl McCall in the gubernatorial race of 2002, and by 26.22% in 1998, for the craic. Pataki hails from Westchester; he previously served as mayor of Peekskill and represented part of the bleedin' county in the bleedin' state Assembly and state Senate prior to bein' elected governor.
In 1998, County Executive Andrew Spano became just the second Democrat to hold the bleedin' post in at least a holy half-century. Here's a quare one. In 2006, county legislator Andrea Stewart-Cousins defeated 20-year incumbent Nicholas Spano for a seat in the oul' New York State Senate in a rematch of the bleedin' 2004 race, which she had lost by only 18 votes, you know yourself like. His brother, Assembly Member Mike Spano, switched parties in July 2007 to become a feckin' Democrat. District attorney Janet DiFiore also switched parties from Republican to Democrat in August 2007. G'wan now and listen to this wan. In 2009, Republican Rob Astorino ousted three-term county executive Andy Spano, who had the endorsement of the New York Conservative Party, winnin' in a feckin' landslide. Astorino became the first Republican county executive since Andrew O'Rourke left the oul' post in 1997, game ball! In 2011, the bleedin' GOP broke the feckin' Democratic two-thirds majority in the oul' county legislature by pickin' up two seats. C'mere til I tell ya now. However, two of the bleedin' Democrats formed a feckin' coalition with the oul' Republicans to control the bleedin' board, with a feckin' Republican becomin' vice-chair. In 2017 Democrats gained three seats to take outright control of the board. Whisht now. In 2019 Democrats gained two seats and in 2020 the last remainin' Republican switched parties to become a feckin' Democrat. Sure this is it. The current composition is sixteen Democrats and one Conservative.

Tanqeed sat down with Balochistan's Hasil Khan Bizenjo, member of the Senate of Pakistan, and Vice President of the National Party (NP).
As the debate rages on about Balochistan, mainstream commentators continue to point at its Sardars or tribal leaders as a main cause of the province's woes – and violence.
Bizenjo challenges such simplifications. Critiquing tribal leaders and the state alike, he explains why there is a need to historicize, and contextualize, the existence of his province's Sardari system. Sardarism does not exist everywhere, he explains. It is on the retreat. And its continued existence is thanks to state patronage. Hear, or read, his conversation with Tanqeed. The first in Tanqeed's new interview series, Voices.

Israel announces completion of underground Gaza border barrier
Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz visits the newly completed underground barrier along the Gaza Strip frontier in Erez, southern Israel December 7, 2021. REUTERS/Ammar Awad
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel on Tuesday announced the completion of a sensor-equipped underground wall on its side of the Gaza border, a counter-measure developed after Hamas militants used tunnels to blindside its troops in a 2014 war.
Israel went public with the project, which also includes an above-ground fence, a naval barrier, radar systems and command and control rooms, in 2016.
"The barrier, which is an innovative and technologically advanced project, deprives Hamas of one of the capabilities it tried to develop," Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said, according to a defense ministry statement.
"(It) places an 'iron wall,' sensors and concrete between the terror organization and the residents of Israel's south," he said of the project, which beefs up an existing border fence.
The ministry said the barrier, which includes hundreds of cameras, radars and other sensors, spans 65 kilometers (40 miles) and that 140,000 tonnes of iron and steel were used in its construction, which took 3.5 years to complete.
It said the project's "smart fence" is more than 6 meters (20 feet) high and its maritime barrier includes means to detect infiltration by sea and a remote-controlled weapons system. The ministry did not disclose the depth of the underground wall.
Gaza also has a 14-kilometre-(8.7-mile)-long border with Egypt, which has also clamped down on crossings, citing security concerns. Since 2013, Egyptian forces have demolished smuggling tunnels while Hamas, on its side, has stepped up patrols.
Israel and Hamas have fought four wars since the Islamist group seized control the coastal Gaza Strip in 2007 from forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
In the latest conflict, last May, Hamas and other militant groups fired more than 4,300 rockets at Israel, which deployed Iron Dome interceptors against them and carried out extensive air strikes in Gaza.

Hungry Hungry Microbes: Oil Eating Bacteria Help to Clean Up Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
Published Date: September 12, 2012 Last Edited: September 12, 2012
Alan McStravick for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online
The Deepwater Horizon, an ultra-deepwater, dynamically positioned, semi-submersible off-shore drilling rig was an engineering marvel that set the record for drilling the world´s deepest oil well in September 2009. The roughly 7-mile-deep well is now infamous for being the site of the single largest off-shore oil spill in history, a disaster that captured the attention of world media for over 3 months.
While BP has accepted responsibility for the spill, launched an extensive recovery campaign and undertaken a public-relations blitz that aims to resurrect their tarnished global image by assisting the devastated tourism industry in the Gulf region, the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe continues to find ways to remind us all that the clean-up is still a work in progress.
Louisiana State University recently conducted lab tests on oil and tar that washed ashore after Hurricane Isaac stalled out in the gulf region last month. According to a CBS News report, the tests proved conclusively that oil found last month on Elmer's Island and Grand Isle in Louisiana matched the biological fingerprint of the hundreds of millions of gallons of oil that gushed out of BP's Macondo Well.
Over a period of 4 months, the research duo studied the dissolution of oxygen in the ocean over an area of nearly 30,000 square miles. They were able to conclude that blooms of bacterial biomass were consuming oil and gas that was trapped in layers up to a half-mile below the water´s surface. To date, they confirmed that the bacteria had already devoured at least 200,000 tons of spilled oil and gas.
"A significant amount of the oil and gas that was released was retained within the ocean water more than one-half mile below the sea surface. It appears that the hydrocarbon-eating bacteria did a good job of removing the majority of the material that was retained in these layers," stated Kessler.
The method they used in their study focused on the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the water, which occur as a natural by-product of bacterial respiration similar to the way humans consume oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.
It is also believed that the introduction of man-made dispersants at the wellhead acted to accelerate the rate of hydrocarbon respiration.
"Interestingly, the oil and gas consumption rate was correlated with the addition of dispersants at the wellhead. While there is still much to learn about the appropriateness of using dispersants in a natural ecosystem, our results suggest it made the released hydrocarbons more available to the native Gulf of Mexico microorganisms," explained Kessler.
The peak of bacterial consumption took place in July, 2010, but as the authors stated that they still do not know whether they have already achieved a maximum consumption level. Theoretically, the possibility exists that the July peak was just an appetizer course that is to be followed by an eventual entree and dessert course.
While further study is necessary, the implications for oil companies and governments and how they mount future disaster clean-up operations could be invaluable. Adversity and disaster will undoubtedly occur when there is so much risk involved. The study is a prime example of humanity's long procession to advancement by finding opportunities in even the worst of situations.

Justin Wallis Takes Lake Havasu WORCS Pro Win
Posted on March 27, 2016 by Podium Promotions	Leave a comment
Lake Havasu City, AZ – Beta's Justin Wallis claimed his career first WORCS Pro Motorcycle win in Lake Havasu City at round four of the Rocky Mountain MC World Off-Road Championship Series presented by Maxxis and Dirt Bike. Honda's Justin Jones claimed the second spot on the podium followed by RPM / KTM's Travis Coy with his first podium appearance of the season. WORCS Pro Points leader Robby Bell finished in fourth ahead of KTM's Gary Sutherlin rounding out the top five.
For the Easter weekend racing event, the Zip Ty Racing sponsored WORCS Kids held a special Easter egg hunt on Saturday evening with approximately 50 kids participating with some nice prizes up for grabs with many of the top pros donating signed jerseys and Focus Apparel giving away free t-shirts in exchange for golden eggs, and there plenty of candy to go around for all the kids. Zip Ty Racing is also supplying the zip ties for securing all of the transponders used in WORCS competition for 2016.
After a brutal and windy Saturday with wind gusts up to 40 mph, the winds calmed down for race day Sunday. The racers left the line a 2:15 p.m. for a two-hour race. With temperatures in the mid-80s, the beaches were full of spectators, but the track definitely deteriorated during the course of the day.
Gary Sutherlin returned to WORCS competition this weekend after missing the first three rounds of the season due to an off-season injury. After grabbing the holeshot from the far outside, he held the lead for one lap, before surrendering the lead to Bell who held the lead for most of race before suffering from dehydration and dropping back, which allowed Justin Wallis to capitalize on the opportunity and take over the lead and hold it to the checkered flag for the win.
"I practice in the sand a lot, so I just tried to stay consistent and put down some good lap times," said Wallis. "I tried to stick to my lines and charge. Toward the end, I was so drained, I pushed to get there. I've been working my butt of to get here. My Beta was running great today. This is huge. I remember coming to this race four years ago as a spectator. Just to be here is a dream come true. It's surreal right now."
Justin Jones passed Travis Coy on the final lap to net the runner-up honors. Jones also overcame being struck in the face by a rock early in the event, but he held on to match season best second place finish, which boosted Jones to fourth place in the points championship just one point behind Justin Seeds.
Coy's first podium of the year came as a result of hard work at the end of the race. He, like most of the field, was physically spent as the event took the checkered flag to claim the final spot on the podium, which was a season first for Coy.
Robby Bell, still suffering from the after effects of the flu, struggled after the middle stages of the race after becoming dehydrated and experiencing leg cramping, which slowed down his charge as he dropped out of the lead back to a fourth place finish to maintain the points lead.
Gary Sutherlin was just happy to be back to racing after missing the first three rounds of the season due to a preseason injury, and after grabbing the holeshot, he held on to claim a top five finish in 2016 WORCS debut.
In Pro 2 class, motocross regulars Carlen Gardner and Josh Mosiman made their first WORCS starts pay off as they finished one-two. Cody Schafer was third. Points leader Logan Chambers led most of the race, before crashing in the closing stages. Gardner took the lead from there and went on to win in his WORCS debut.
"We're hitting a few WORCS this year to do some training," said Gardner. "We came out and had some fun. Logan was really holding it down for most of the race. Unfortunately, he went down. I just tried to stay consistent."
In Pro 2 Lites, RPM/KTM's Dante Oliveria won his fourth consecutive race. Austin Serpa and Clayton Hengeveld rounded out the podium. Oliveria nabbed the holeshot and was never seriously challenged. He has tire sponsor Maxxis truly to thank for his victory because his race was nearly over before it started.
"Maxxis saved the day," said Oliveria. "I noticed I had a tire moose issue while going to the starting line and they took my tire off and changed it. They really looked out for me."
The Rocky Mountain MC World Off-Road Championship Series presented by Maxxis and Dirt Bike will be back in action April 15-17 for round five of the series, which heads to Sand Hollow in Utah.

Right out of the gate, Diane has some questions for Jack to make sure he is prepared for all the credentialing speed bumps that could come up. "That's great Jack. Have you gotten your type 2 NPI yet?" Diane asks, the second the question is asked Diane can tell that Jack has become unsure of himself. "A type 2 NPI? No, I don't think I have one of those" Jack said.
"No problem, you can apply for one online, and they'll email you one within ten days. But you will need a type 2 NPI in order to credentialing your business as a group provider," Diane explains to Jack. They then visit the NPPES website and apply for Jack's type 2 NPI.
Later that week, Diane receives a call from Jack, "I received my type 2 NPI for the business, thanks for letting me know I needed that. Anything else I'll need before I can begin the credentialing process?" She then goes on to inform him of all of the different things that will need to be in place so his credentialing can go smoothly. Jack couldn't believe that so many other things had to be in order before he could enroll with different insurances, but he was glad he had a resource to make the process easier.
Penny is the owner of her own physical therapy private practice, and has worked there for over 10 years. Penny wants to start seeing less patients so she can spend more time managing her staff. Her current administrative employee is on vacation for the week so Penny takes it upon herself to make some follow up calls on the credentialing for her newest therapist.
Penny starts by calling Blue Cross Blue Shield, "Good morning, I am looking to get the status of an application that was submitted for a new provider." She then goes on to give them all of her identifying information, but is surprised when the representative says, "I'm sorry ma'am, that application has been rejected because we requested a copy of the provider's liability insurance and it was not sent within 30 days." Penny hangs up and becomes frustrated, now her new employee must wait even longer to start treating Blue Cross Blue Shield patients. When Penny checks the admin email account, she sees there are multiple unread emails from insurance agencies requesting provider information.
When Penny's admin employee returns from her vacation Penny asks her why these emails were not addressed. The admin employee explains, "With the scheduling of patients, calling on authorization/referrals, and all of the other daily tasks I have, it's difficult to make time to follow up with the credentialing." Penny then explains to the employee how important provider credentialing is to getting paid for services provided. While the employee promises to make credentialing more of a priority in her day, Penny's new therapist still has to wait an extra 60-90 days for the new application to get submitted and approved.
The credentialing process is a complex one, that requires accurate applications and rigorous follow up. Outsourcing your practice's credentialing to experts will ensure that your applications are submitted correctly the first time, and follow up is made routinely so you know your application is going to the appropriate channels. To learn more about Account Matters credentialing services, give us a call at 508-422-0231.
*Disclaimer: Because there are so many different systems and clearinghouses and each state has their own guidelines, different issues can arise. This is just one example of a problem that can occur with a clearinghouse. Please contact an expert if you have any specific clearinghouse or credentialing questions.
