Memory Lane: Lost Cities of Elms
In 1951, Dutch elm disease arrives on campus—resulting in the decimation of nearly 2,000 trees
Before Dutch elm disease and phloem necrosis devastated their population, American elms lined the walkways of the Quad and could be found throughout the campus. Numbering 1,850, they represented 90 percent of all trees at Illinois. (Image courtesy of UIAA)
By John Franch
It stands on Race Street, on the very edge of campus—a survivor from a more genteel time when stately American elms formed lush, green archways over many small-town and suburban streets, their graceful branches swaying and creaking in the light breeze of a sultry summer afternoon. Somehow, this majestic American elm on Race Street has endured a double onslaught of disease that ravaged the U.S. elm population, beginning in 1930. The University of Illinois was especially hard hit—a whopping 90 percent of campus trees were American elms. The elm catastrophe of the 1950s may be the single most devastating blow ever dealt to the beauty of the UI campus.
A campus without trees was unthinkable. Experts such as horticulturist J. C. Blair and botanist C.F. Hottes credited trees with making the UI campus one of the nation's most beautiful. "Without them [the trees] to relieve the stern hues of the brick buildings and the monotonous level of the greensward, the campus would be as dull and uninteresting as the prairie," an observer remarked in 1908.
Disaster first struck UI elms in 1949 when two trees on the south campus were discovered to have phloem necrosis—an invariably fatal viral disease. Two years later, in a fearful one-two punch, Dutch elm disease invaded the campus, arriving, it was believed, via a beetle that had hitchhiked on an Illini football fan's car. First introduced to the U.S. in 1930 from Europe, this fungal disease is spread by elm bark beetles.
University officials vigorously responded to the emergency with spray trucks and tree-cutting crews, but it was all for naught. In a little over a decade, only 92 of the 1,850 campus elms remained, while all of the elms located on the Quad were wiped out.
Afterwards, the Quad resembled a blast zone. In 1956, thornless honeylocust trees were planted to replace the towering elms that once shaded generations of students promenading on the Boardwalk. But the Daily Illini deemed them "no match for the elms."
Phloem necrosis first appeared in 1949 and Dutch elm disease followed two years later. In a little more than a decade, the elm tree population had been reduced to 92. The most heartbreaking loss was the death of the 83-year-old Ma-Wan-Da elm in front of the Illini Union. (Images courtesy of Illios 1917 and 1959.)
The death of the Ma-Wan-Da elm in front of the Union especially tugged at Illini heartstrings. For decades, the Ma-Wan-Da senior men's activity and honors society had hung arrow-shaped plaques on the landmark tree bearing the names of new members. The University took special pains to save it, but alas, the Ma-Wan-Da elm succumbed to phloem necrosis in 1958. With only three cuts of a Physical Plant power saw, the 80-foot-high, 83-year-old tree came tumbling down.
"I have always insisted that there would be a few [elms] that would survive, but I'm beginning to get a little pessimistic about that now," J.C. Gabbard, a physical plant staffer, remarked in 1961.
The American elms on campus continued to die—one had to be removed as recently as 2008—but a few have survived like the one on Race Street.
"It is lovely in itself," arborist Jean Burridge wrote of the solitary Race Street elm, "but one cannot but look for the lost cities of the elms."

Shenhua exits ACL after Antlers home draw
Ma Yue
SHANGHAI Greenland Shenhua was eliminated from this year's AFC Champions League after a 2-2 draw with Japan's Kashima Antlers at Hongkou Football Stadium last night.
Shanghai Greenland Shenhua Giovanni Moreno is challenged by Kashima Antlers' Leandro during a AFC Champions League Group H match at Hongkou Football Stadium in Shanghai last night.
SHANGHAI Greenland Shenhua was eliminated from this year's AFC Champions League after a 2-2 draw with Japan's Kashima Antlers at Hongkou Football Stadium last night.
The Chinese Super League side had three draws and a loss from its first four matches and needed to win to have any hope of advancing from the group, of which the top two qualify.
To the joy of home fans, Shenhua had a dream start, clinching a 2-0 advantage within 30 minutes of the kickoff.
Nigeria striker Obafemi Martins was uppended by Kashima defender Tomoya Inukai in the box in the 11th. Captain Giovanni Moreno found the back of the net from the spot.
However, Martins pulled a leg muscle in the 19th, forcing manager Wu Jingui into an early substitution — bringing on fellow striker Mao Jianqing.
The change led to Shenhua's second goal as Mao scored from a header off a corner pass from Fredy Guarin in the 28th.
Aidi Fulangxisi almost added another for Shenhua before the end of the first half but his close-range shot went over the bar.
The J league side adjusted its pace after the break. Striker Yuma Suzuki pulled one back in the 58th when he tapped home into an open net after Leo Silva's shot deflected onto his path. Five minutes later, Suzuki assisted Leandro for the equalizer.
Shenhua players fought hard for the rest of the match but could not find a way to score.
"We actually managed to play according to our game-plan," midfielder Wang Wei said after the match. "However, the result was not what we wished for. Also, our previous match was only three days ago, which affected our stamina."
With one more round left, Shenhua is now bottom of Group H on four points, three points short of second-placed Suwon Samsung Bluewings, who lost 1-4 to Sydney FC at home. Leader Kashima (9) advanced while Sydney is third on five points.
In a Group G match, two-time Asian champion Guangzhou Evergrande was held 1-1 away to Buriram United after Yoo Jun-soo scored an injury-time goal for the Thai side.
Fabio Cannavaro's team remains top of the group on nine points — one ahead of Cerezo Osaka of Japan and three ahead of Buriram. South Korea's Jeju United — which lost 1-2 to Cerezo — is already out, sitting at the bottom with three points.
Guangzhou needs just one point from its final group match — against Cerezo — to secure a slot in the last-16.
Meanwhile, former Shenhua general manager Zhou Jun has left the club and joined CSL newcomer Dalian Yifang, Shenhua announced earlier.
Having spent 11 years with Shenhua, Zhou was responsible for the team's operation, including the purchase of players.
After a farewell meeting with players on Monday, Zhou left Shanghai for Dalian in the next chapter of his career as Yifang's general manager.
Zhou was one of the top officials during Shenhua's "Zhu Jun era". Entrepreneur Zhu was Shenhua's major investor from 2007 to 2014, when the club signed big-name players like Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba.
"Due to some personal reasons, I chose to leave Shenhua and seek another kind of development," Zhou said during the farewell meet. "After so many years here, some players and I are more like brothers."
Zhou was often under pressure from fans due to his power to bring in players, especially when players' performance failed to meet fans' expectation or when the club was on a poor run.
Shenhua signed Argentina striker Carlos Tevez last year and made him one of the highest-paid players in the world. However, he proved to be of little help to the team and was also criticized for being overweight He left at the beginning of this year.
Zhou and club president Wu Xiaohui were under a lot of pressure due to fans' criticism during the period.
Zhou was reported to have been contacted by a headhunting company entrusted by Dalian Yifang before making the "switch".
His position will be taken over by former Shanghai Football Association spokesperson Zhu Junwei, who joined Shenhua this year as vice general manager in charge of youth training and other club affairs.

Commemoration of the Faithful Departed (All Souls' Day)
Holy Trinity, Hurstpierpoint
The Reformation had a profound effect on the way that Christians in Western Europe worshipped their Trinitarian God. What theologians and historians dwell on most are the controversies concerning the nature of the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist and the nature of salvation brought about by the Crucifixion, generally summed up, respectively, as The Real Presence and Atonement. But profound though these theological changes were, they were not what the average churchgoer in the 1540s would have remarked upon. If we look at the 1549 Version and, even more so, the 1552 Version of the Book of Common Prayer we immediately see the violent reaction of the compilers to prayers for the dead. This is why there is no set of official prayers for such occasions as today as we celebrate the Feast Day of All Souls. This is understandable because the sparking point for the German Reformation was Martin Luther's objection to the sale of Papal Indulgences whereby people could buy eternal life in exchange for a substantial donation, not only for themselves but also for the dead. This was a cynical and ruthless exploitation of the medieval fixation with securing eternal life in the context of a very lively belief in the fires of hell. To that end, people left bequests not only for Masses to be said for their souls but also for special chantry chapels where such Masses might be said continuously. Purists would no doubt object to the notion that money, or even prayers, could promote impaired souls up the ladder to perfection but the chain link between the Churches Militant, Expectant, and Triumphant, was very strong indeed. And so, to an extent, as Members of the Church of England, we are restoring a lost Catholic tradition.
What are we doing when we pray for the dead? Well, I suppose that none of us thinks for a moment that our prayers are moving the souls of the departed up a ladder from Purgatory into Heaven: most of us don't believe in purgatory; some of us believe that everybody 'goes to heaven'; and perhaps more of us believe that how we fare after death is between them and God and that we can't in any way affect the result. Much more difficult, and not for today, is the discussion of whether the soul exists at all in the context of our Creedal belief in the Resurrection of the body.
For a start, we need to acknowledge that the purists at the Reformation were pulling Christianity out of the world religion mainstream where praying to or for the dead is a central concern and an impulse for ritual. The motive - and this is not in the least dishonourable in any way - is primarily to keep us in touch with the dead, not to affect what happens to them. We commend them to God's tender mercy knowing that they will receive mercy beyond our imagining; but we feel, rightly, that our commendation is a reverent duty. Knowing that God will deal with the matter does not in any way spare us the obligation and comfort of commendation.
Secondly, in a world of merciless stimulation, a time to pause and remember in a focused way is vital for our sense of ourselves. Nobody is perfect and we may recall some actions with some discomfort, but most of us will take great comfort from the virtues and kindnesses of those we loved; and that comfort is of a unique sort because it is deeply personal, particularly when we are remembering a parent or very close friend.
Thirdly, we are thinking of our loved one, recipient of incalculable divine mercy, praising God in the Church Triumphant not, I should think, playing a harp to accompany the angels and drinking champagne but bathed in the eternal light of God's presence which our first reading bravely struggles to portray; but however difficult the imagery is, the overall weight of the Revelation is clear: we will be with God in the company of Jesus, the Lamb.
We are, then, definitely re-establishing a strong link between the Church Militant and the Church Triumphant while we at the very least down-grade the importance of the Church Expectant.
And although it is hard to resist the temptation to be just a little sentimental, our best comfort will be in remembering people as accurately as we can which is another reason for a day like this, otherwise reality becomes a blur which furnishes neither comfort nor instruction. In a way, we are praying to keep the image and the sound fresh so that they will continue to enliven and inform us in the hectic world of the living, and that is why our reading from Luke is so helpful, as it directs us towards what people do for each other. We have all surely noticed how much we learn about people for the first time during funeral orations about them; it would, I think, be nice if we took more trouble to find out while they were alive what they might contribute to the community; but, in any case, it will surely be the acts of kindness or courage that we remember long after we have lost the abstracted, general impression.
And finally, in restoring our tradition of praying for the dead, we are acknowledging a public duty for although the loss of a loved one is profoundly personal, it is also communal; we are, genetically and to some extent temperamentally the heirs of our parents but we are also products of community, of all the people who have gone before, as parents, teachers, reformers, soldiers, nurses, artists, writers and musicians. To remember that we didn't do it all ourselves is salutary and brings us closer to the reality that God has done it all, whatever we like to think. Commendation not only brings us closer to those we have lost but it also brings us closer to God.

Romaine contamination is making other lettuces more expensive
Mitchell Hartman Dec 4, 2018
https://www.marketplace.org/2018/12/04/romaine-contamination-making-other-lettuces-more-expensive/
Been down the produce aisle at your local grocery recently?
You might have seen signs alerting consumers to an E. coli outbreak in romaine lettuce. Maybe a notice that the store isn't selling any romaine until it can get the produce from outside the California region to which the contamination is linked.
You know what happens when a product gets scarce, right? Yep, prices go up.
A market in Portland
Nancy Chavez was shopping at a grocery in Portland, Oregon, on a recent morning. She said she doesn't care for romaine lettuce all that much.
"I buy a lot of butter lettuce and red leaf lettuce," she said. Doesn't like iceberg that much. "It's just kind of bland. But every now and then I will purchase that and mix it up. Iceberg usually is about $1.29 or so. I've seen it for, like, $1.49. Just a little bit higher."
This reporter found a head of iceberg priced at $1.69 at a local Safeway market.
Supply and demand, leafy greens style
According to U.S. Department of Agriculture daily produce pricing data, the wholesale price of iceberg has roughly doubled since the E. coli warning Nov. 20.
"When we pull everything off the market like we did with romaine, what we'll start to see is people moving to other leafy greens," said Mark Manfredo, an agricultural economist at Arizona State University.
The supply of salad ingredients is down, but people still want salad, so prices go up.
Caesar salad lovers, rejoice
Some romaine is trickling back into the market now that the source of the contamination has been identified, said Dan Sumner, agricultural economist at University of California, Davis.
"The FDA said 'Look for the label. If it says it's Arizona, it's OK.' But there may be some consumers still hesitant."
But Sumner said salad lovers won't give up their romaine forever.
Why are E. coli outbreaks so hard to trace?
Look out, beef. Plant-based patties are vying to win over meat lovers.
Green peppers are cheaper than their more colorful comrades. Here's why.

Open Source Software Vendor without raising capital: can it be done and how?
Open Source Software can be produced in many ways. One of them is to build a company that will lead and finance the development of the Open Source Software. Most of such companies have raised capital and are using the "Open Core" business model.
This talk aims to present the way XWiki has evolved over the last 12 years, without raising capital and without restraining it's licence, reaching 1,5 MEuros of revenues in the competitive space of collaboration and information management software, contributing year after year to all it's production as Open Source Software. The XWiki Software is now being used around the world by thousands of organizations.
We will go through the ways this was achieved, the way we were helped, the difficulties we had and the way we managed them, the lessons we learned over time and how we believe we can continue to grow in the future while staying an "Open" company.

Yeah I have always had 475-480 as the magic reach number in my head that would work for me.
I think the Xl could work well for me with a bit of tweaking.
Interview: Santa Cruz Product Mgr. Josh Kissner on Bronson/5010 Mk 3 - July 4, 2018, 11:28 p.m.
Thanks for getting back. Yeah the more I think about it, XL could be the way to go. With a 40mm stem. Especially looking at the seat tube lengths. I would have plenty of room even to fit a 185 post with room to spare.
I read the recent NSMB reduced offset fork article with great interest. I was previously looking at the nomad and I was thinking an Xl with a 37mm offset for and a 35mm stem. I have never really got on with super short stems but moving the front wheel axle back in relationships with the stem makes a lot of sense to me.

Hi, just wondering if you can go into detail a bit more about the sizing as you mentioned you road the large and XL.
I love the new Santa Cruz bikes but feel that I am in between sizes. I am 183 cm (6ft) so near the top of the large on their chart.
I know there is no right or wrong answer to this just curious on your thoughts and your size ?
Renthal Ultra Tacky Push-On Grips - Feb. 1, 2018, 12:23 p.m.

I have been playing with push on grips since reading your ditch your lock on grips article. It gave me a reason to experiment with stuff without spending a fortune. I have put some of these ultra tacky grips onto my main bike and they do feel really good to the touch (although I haven't got out on that bike yet). I also found an old set of Kevlar ones that I have put on my rigid bike that I have been using. I am enjoying the push on Renthals with no complaints but I have been wondering what a slight thicker version would feel like, I was thinking about experimenting with a layer of gorilla tape under the grip.
I liked the smaller outer diameter of the bar end plug on the newer grips so they Don't dig into your hand but did you find the plug for the bar a bit too small? I had to wrap a good chunk of electrical tape around it to keep it central when tight.
An Aerospace Perspective on Carbon - Jan. 30, 2018, 12:23 p.m.
I think times are due for a change. The price of bikes are getting silly. I would like to see more companies offer alu frame with high spec components.
Quite a few companies offer alu frames but only with budget components and the only way to get better parts is to go for the carbon option.
If I had the money for a carbon frame I would prefer to buy a custom steel frame which are usually a similar price.
Oh I like the term "system" to describe a bike and rider.

White Memorial hosts 'Snow Queen' puppet show
By John Torsiello
LITCHFIELD — It's not often Santa Claus is the warm-up act, but he and Mrs. Claus filled that role Saturday at White Memorial Conservation Center.
After welcoming children and their families into the cozy Mott-Van Winkle Classroom for a meet and greet near a Christmas tree, Santa and his partner moved on to make a brief appearance at the center's cozy Carriage House.
There, as a soft mist fell on a decidedly un-Christmas-like afternoon, artist and puppeteer Robin McCahill of Thomaston delighted young and old alike with her performance of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen," a tale of friends lost and found, visits to distant lands, travels through changing seasons, and encounters with strange and exotic characters. McCahill told the story with a troupe of hand-felted marionettes.
While the weather outside was cold and wet, the smiles and amazed looks on the faces of the children and adults weren't dampened as they watched the show, which McCahill has reprised many times during her 35-year career as a puppeteer.
"It's a wonderful tale," said McCahill prior to her performance. "But I take a few liberties with it. In all, there are eight characters in the play and I try and create a little magic for the kids. What I like most about the play is that it is interactive with the audience."
It was a busy afternoon at White Memorial Conservation Center. In addition to Santa and Mrs. Claus and the puppet show, the center's museum held an open house, and visitors were able to shop for stocking stuffers from one-of-a-kind Connecticut-made gifts.
All that was needed to get into the puppet show was a donation of warm socks, mittens, gloves, or hats of any size or color and a non-perishable food item for the pantry at FISH/Friends in Service to Humanity of Northwestern Connecticut. And there were plenty of the aforementioned items sitting in bags at the entryway of the Carriage House.
On hand was Deirdre DiCara, Executive Director of FISH. "When I heard that this was happening I was thrilled," she said. "I grew up in Winchester Center with Gerri and Kathryn Griswold and we were childhood friends and went through school together. We always have such a need at this time of the year and this will further help us with our mission at FISH."
Gerri Griswold, White Memorial Conservation Center's Director of Administration and Development, sat with her sister at the greeting table, welcoming guests and explaining how the day came about.
"This is a resurrection of something we (did) in 2009 and 2010," she said. "We shelved it for a few years, but when Robin McCahill said she would put on the puppet show we decided it would be wonderful to bring it back. We wanted to make it free to the public, asking only that they bring an item of winter clothing and food as admission. We had 200 signups, although the weather may have kept a few people away."
She added, "It is a good thing when we can receive needed items for FISH and we can give those items where they are most needed. It's nice for the children to take part in the spirit of giving."
Griswold said the day was made possible through the generosity of an anonymous donor, and that she hopes the event can become an annual tradition.
Morgan Fisher of Washington, a science teacher at The Gunnery School, took her sons to see Santa before taking in the puppet show.
"I actually taught a few classes a few summers in the Mott-Van Winkle Classroom and they did such a great job dressing it up for the season," she said. "We take part in a number of events and programs at White Memorial with the kids and this is such a nice thing for them to stage."

Today, our streets must change to accommodate a new era of mobility and urban design. With mounting pressure on our public realm to serve growing numbers of residents and mediate growing social distances, a new paradigm is needed to reconnect people and reimagine urban space. For over a century, our streets have been dominated by a single form of transportation, namely the car. Car companies have influenced the street since their inception. By creating a market demand for private automobiles, combined with policymaking in support of private auto-mobility, car companies have shaped cultural norms and design principles that still influence streets today.
With a new perspective on mobility must come a new set of design principles for street stewardship, street design, and mobility creation. Ford created the National Street Service to ensure that new technologies and services it creates help carry streets forward to a future that puts people at the center of this vital public space. Ford hopes that these design principles can become a touchstone for all people building the streets of the future.
What do we mean when we say streets? Technically, we mean surface-level throughways in the public domain. Experientially, we mean the places just outside our doors, between us and everything else, the interstitial land of the city. The space between the buildings. Highways that are purely thoroughfares to get from A to B are not streets, and while perhaps they could be, these principles may not apply to them.
These principles were developed from 18 months of intensive action-research conducted by the National Street Service with input from over 100 participants across five cities, and Gehl's decades of experience studying public life and making cities for people. The principles were extracted from our key insights, which can be found in our Field Guide. You can experience these principles in action by completing the National Street Service 'Soul Searching' curriculum, which is free and publicly available as a printable training kit on our website, and as an app - 'Streets!' for iPhone.
These principles are for anyone who wants to make streets, mobility, or a stewardship process with people at the center. By sharing our guiding methodologies, values, and quality criteria we hope to provide a cogent vision that guides the efforts of Ford Motor Company - and others - to build services, policies and products that help streets live up to the value and potential they possess.
About a hundred years ago, streets were redesigned with rules that privileged the fast movement and storage of private vehicles. Today, American cities face challenges with congestion, growth and imminent technological change in their transportation systems. In the context of this growth and change, the way we've been designing and managing our streets is no longer working. We have a rare and historic moment to rewrite those rules, to create newly human-centered streets that privilege great places and the movement of people not vehicles. In search of a meaningful way to foster conversations about the potential of America's streets, Greenfield Labs, in collaboration with globally renowned urban design firm Gehl, created the National Street Service.

World Trade Center Reopened For Business!

Thirteen years after the 9/11 terrorist attack, the revived World Trade Center is again opening for business. It marks an emotional milestone for the United States.
Publishing giant Conde Nast will start moving on Monday into One World Trade Center, a 104-story, $3.9 billion skyscraper dominating the Manhattan skyline. It is America's tallest building!
Patrick Foye, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey that owns both the building and the World Trade Center site, says the building is whole again.
"The New York City skyline is whole again, as One World Trade Center takes its place in Lower Manhattan. It sets new standards of design, construction, prestige and sustainability; the opening of this iconic building is a major milestone in the transformation of Lower Manhattan into a thriving 24/7 neighborhood."
Only about 170 of his company's 3,400 employees are moving in at the moment, filling five floors, according to Patricia Rockenwagner, a Conde Nast vice president and spokeswoman.
About 3,000 more is expected to arrive by early 2015.


He had his house. She had her house. Now, for the first time, Nadia and Charley Oliver are looking forward to a downsized house that is all theirs. Married just two years and living in a home that bears a combined imprint of mismatched furnishings and differing tastes, the Olivers want a change in lifestyle and a change in homes - specifically to a house smaller than the one Charley sold recently in Tampa or the one Nadia bought in 2004 and completely renovated in Sarasota.
But before they can downsize, they need to find a buyer who wants to upsize. And that buyer must be willing to pay $549,900 in this unsettled economy for a 3,200-square-foot home.
On a quiet, private road in Sarasota called Rellim, the metal roof, tri-level home sits on a tree-rich, one-acre site that is about five minutes from Cardinal Mooney High School with easy access to the Interstate. The home was built in 1984, and Nadia bought it because she and her children were moving from a rural area of eastern Sarasota County and needed room for their horse.
After Nadia bought the property she reconfigured every room in the house and added space, creating an apartment-size master bedroom on the second level of the house.
Two more bedrooms and a bath are on the third level and there is an additional guest room and bath on the main floor. The homeowner also connected the garage to the house, put on a new metal roof, completely changed the front elevation, redid all the windows with new impact-resistant ones and relandscaped. The house has three air-conditioning systems and two hot water heaters.
There's ample room for a pool in the backyard. In all, the homeowner spent about $300,000 in renovation and upgrades and almost doubled the size of the dwelling.
"Charley came into my life when the structural part of the renovation was complete, late 2005," said Nadia. "He's a retired engineer and can do almost anything, so he pitched right in and did the fireplace in the living room and the guest bathroom on the first floor. And he did a lot of the finish carpentry work throughout the home.
Charley's two children are grown and on their own with families in Tampa and Key West.
Nadia's son, Kyle, is 24 and about to enlist in the Coast Guard, and her daughter, Nadia III, is in college.
Nadia Camunas Oliver embraces change.
Originally from a close-knit Puerto Rican family in Miami, Nadia became the first in her family to graduate from a four-year college and to earn her certified public accountant degree. After two children, working for a big accounting firm and a divorce, she moved to Jamestown, R.I., where she owned a bakery for 14 years (she still has the bakery sign) and then decided to move back to Florida in 1998 and take up her profession as CPA again.
"I had done the Miami thing and wanted a different part of the state," she said. "I did research online and when I got to information about Sarasota, I knew this was the city. It has beaches and lots of cultural activities and it offers lots of lifestyle options. I wanted a country setting and bought a house on five acres in Bern Creek Ranches after seeing 26 homes in under a week while on crutches.
Nadia says her hobby has always been renovating houses. This is her fourth project.
Nadia hired a project manager, master carpenter Joe Johnsky, and subbed out the painting after she had a close call on scaffolding trying to paint a 16-foot-high ceiling.
Nadia and Charley met as passengers on a plane flying from Key West, where Nadia's fiance, Timothy, was being treated for the final stages of terminal cancer.
They were married in May of 2008.
When the Rellim Lane house sells (it's been on the market since May), the Olivers have two projects in mind. First, there's a piece of property they bought in Tennessee.
And what does Nadia want?
"Well, of course, I want to save a rundown house with character and both Melba and I are looking in areas such as Gillespie Park," she said. "I'm thinking no more than 1,800 feet after the renovation, one floor and I'd like to renovate with green building techniques this time.

The Victoria Vikes topped the host York Lions by a score of 3-1 in Game 2 of the U SPORTS Field Hockey Championships on Saturday afternoon to bring home the program's first national banner since 2008.
The game was intense from the beginning as both teams seemed desperate to get off to a good start. The Lions had the first scoring chance after U SPORTS All-Canadian Jaslan Stirling broke in front of the Vikes net and was fouled inside the circle. An ensuing penalty corner was defended well by the Vikes defence though, as they shut down the Lions attack and cleared the ball quickly away from goalie Robin Fleming's net.
The Vikes went on the offensive for the next several minutes, as they kept the Lions pinned deep in their own end for the better part of the next 10 minutes. The Lions defenders held strong though, with fifth-year veteran Sara Vollmerhausen making a number of excellent defensive plays to keep the game scoreless.
Victoria opened the scoring at 13:18 of the first half after a scramble following a penalty corner in the Lions end. Midfielder Lindsay Cole corralled a loose ball and dove with a swipe of her stick to score the game's first goal past Lions goalkeeper Alycia Gray. They extended their lead to 2-0 just over a minute later on a goal by fellow midfielder Stefanie Sajko, who was stopped on her first attempt but tapped in a rebound to put the Vikes in front by two.
The home team established some pressure late in the first half but were unable to capitalize as the Vikes took a 2-0 lead into the locker room at halftime.
After some sustained pressure in the Lions end to begin the second half, Victoria made it 3-0 on a goal by rookie Cara Butler. The Vikes were buzzing around Gray with a number of chances before Butler found the back of net.
The remainder of the second half was played mostly in the middle of the field until Lions defender Sydney McFaul added a late goal for the host team with less than a minute left but it was not enough as the Vikes prevailed 3-1. UVic outshot York 11-5 in the final contest of the season for both teams and dictated the field position for the majority of the game.
The victory for the Vikes was their 12th U SPORTS championship in program history and marks the eighth year in a row the trophy has been won by a team from the Canada West conference. The UBC Thunderbirds had won seven nationals titles in a row before this season.
The Lions fall in the national final for the second year in a row but the future looks bright for the back-to-back OUA champions, with only two graduating players and a young roster on the upswing, the team looks to be contenders for the national title for several years to come.
The Vikes' Emily Wong was named tournament MVP as well as Player of the Game in the championship win. McFaul was named Player of the Game for the Lions, while her teammate Sara Vollmerhausen was awarded the R.W. Pugh Fair Play Award.


Senior Bruria Mille designed a three-week field course in Israel as part of her Senior Applied Research Project which focuses on ecotourism design. She, six other Sterling students, and faculty member Ned Houston carried out her design over three weeks in late January and February. The course intention was to foster genuine interaction with Israel people through active engagement in hands-on work, homestays, shared time with Israeli university students, visits to farms and research stations, and appreciation of Israeli culture. Throughout their travels, the group used public transport or local drivers, camped or stayed in local hostels or with Israel hosts, and was educated by Israelis ranging from academics to local Bedouin leaders. They saw cutting edge research in renewable energy technologies as well as millenia-old nomadic ways of life, modern cities and ancient landscapes, great possibilities and serious environmental constraints. In short, they got an inside view of many of the issues and challenges Israeli people live with every day, challenges seldom seen or appreciated in standard tourism.
A member of the Global Ecovillage Network, an international association that promotes sustainable living, Kibbutz Lotan promotes outreach and education through its Center for Creative Ecology which offers courses of varied lengths for Israeli and international visitors. Bru Mille worked closely with Lotan's Mark Naveh to design 10 days of programming, regional investigation, and local work. Our sessions included appropriate technology analysis for building design, water systems, and agriculture; detailed discussions about the kibbutz model and Lotan's particular history; middle east geopolitics and sustainability from the political perspective; and the how's and why's of desert living. We also celebrated Sabbath with the community as well as a wonderful tree planting ceremony known as Tu B' Shvat.
We spent a half day with a local Bedouin leader at his encampment, discussing the challenges of indigenous people in the current era. We had sessions with researchers at the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies and at the Ben-Gurion National Solar Energy Center. Here we saw fascinating research on concentrating solar collectors and solutions for practical challenges of solar electricity. Researchers at Ben-Gurion have developed an electrostatic micro-charge that prevents dust from lodging on solar panels. With fixed-panel arrays that involve more than 10,000 individual panels already in place, such a solution has great potential impact.
In a completely different line, we visited a newly established winery that turns out to be new only in a particular sense, for the vines are planted exactly in the same dry wash that supported vineyards of Nabatean settlers from over 1500 years ago. The owners of Carmey Avdat cherish the historical roots of their wine making and have incorporated ecotourism principles in the guest housing they offer as an adjunct to their wine operation.
The next phase of our course began with a public bus ride to Masada National Park, site of a spectacular Herodian fort where the last Jewish rebels held out against Roman conquest in 73 CE. We arrived at our hostel in the dark, excited to climb the 1200 vertical feet to the fortress to watch dawn rise over the Dead Sea to the east. Masada is one of the most visited historical sites in Israel, and the dawn hike is a modern-day observance for many young Israelis. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Masada has both the fortress ruins and the largest remains of a Roman siege campaign ever found.
Who could spend substantial time in Israel and not visit Jerusalem? Bru arranged homestays for all of us in the neighborhood she grew up in. We attended evening services at the local temple and had Sabbath dinner with our families. Family guests at the dinner with my host family included a father who had been a tank commander in the significant Yom Kippur War and his son who was currently serving as a tank commander stationed in the Golan, the area to the north bordering Syria. The discussions that came up over dinner regarding security, the conflict in Syria, and the problems in responding to the threats of that conflict had a striking and compelling immediacy.
While in Jerusalem, we had a walking tour of the central part of the old city with Shaul Sapir, an academic trained in Hebrew studies as well as a certified tour guide and a long-standing friend of Bru's family. All of us felt that the old city deserved a great deal more of our time, but Jerusalem has many significant other sites which we wanted to see. These included the Museum housing the Dead Sea Scrolls—how astonishing to see original documents dating from over 2000 years ago!—and the Holocaust History Museum, Yad Vashem. Our Israeli driver commented that people enter Yad Vashem smiling and come out in tears, and we were hardly exceptions. Seeing that display, however, makes abundantly clear many of the defining qualities of the modern State of Israel.
We finished our travels with three days in the north of Israel where we camped outside of Tiberias and stayed in a scout facility in Haifa. During these days, we toured the Golan Heights where significant military action took place in Israel's major conflicts, discussed water management with a water specialist from the Kinneret Water Authority, had a scenic canyon hike in Zavitan National Park, toured Nazareth, and had an inspiring couple of hours with researchers at the Technion, Israel's predominant technical university. They are working on game-changing storage systems for intermittent energy such as p.v. and wind that will move us past batteries.
Bru had a final unusual connective experience for us as we made our way south to Tel Aviv for our flight home. We spent an afternoon and night with Israeli college students and members of a band where a barbecue and impromptu jam session on the beach in Netanya. It was a great time for Sterling students just to hang with contemporaries and chit-chat about life, prospects, college, etc.
Mother Nature offered another surprise when a major snowstorm closed the airports in the eastern US, obliging us to spend an extra day in Tel Aviv. We consoled ourselves with a cloudless, summerlike day along Tel Aviv's spectacular several kilometers of Mediterranean Beach where the beautiful weather drew thousands out to savor the beach, outdoor restaurants, bike paths, and people watching.
Twenty-four hours later we were zipping up our winter coats in Craftsbury.

Regional Week 2010 is this week, which you know since I've been telling you. But the world is noticing, too. We've managed to create some buzz, including this nice interview of Jeff Siegel on ColoradoWino.com.
And vintners near Traverse City in Michigan were all abuzz about the attention they are beginning to get on the national stage for their Rieslings, Pinot Blanc and other wines. Local TV news was quick to pick up on the story.
What got them so excited? A travel feature in last Friday's USA Today on 10 great places for local wines - featuring Jeff Siegel and myself, with a great plug for Regional Wine Week.
You can follow Regional Wine Week at DrinkLocalWine.com. And if you feel inspired, check out the local wine haiku at the DLW Facebook page.
Last month, the Virginia Governor's Cup for white wines was awarded to Paradise Springs winery of Clifton, in Fairfax County, for its 2009 Chardonnay. This was noteworthy because Paradise Springs is one of Virginia's newest wineries. But it is also worth celebrating because the winery's owners fought stiff opposition from the county government and from neighbors who feared that a winery would just be an events venue for jazz festivals, weddings and drunk fests and such. This award, plus a gold medal in January for their Norton in the Governor's Cup judging for red wines, shows that Paradise Springs is more interested in quality than buzz.
Does your impression of Virginia wine date back to an unfortunate taste 10 or 20 years ago, in a store or at a sweltering festival somewhere in hunt country? Mine did, but I kept tasting, as Virginia wines kept getting better. Unfortunately, I'm not at all convinced that most people have continued to taste and keep an open mind about Virginia wine.
That's why I hope you'll enjoy my column in today's Washington Post, in which I highlight some interesting trends in the Virginia wine industry - it's growth over the past decade, with an increasing emphasis on quality; it's success in new markets, both among younger, tech-savvy drinkers and overseas; and the increasing focus on vineyard-designated wines that express and develop Virginia's terroir, unique from that of France or California.
This is Virginia Wine Month, as declared by the Virginia Wine Folks. And next week is Regional Wine Week, as declared by Jeff Siegel (The Wine Curmudgeon) and myself at DrinkLocalWine.com. Be sure to check in regularly for the best blogoscribbling about wines "from around here, wherever here happens to be."
I'm a big fan of New York wines. Riesling from the Finger Lakes seems to get better every year, especially as winemakers continue to carve out a distinctive style that speaks of the region's terroir. Are they particularly German? Well, maybe not, though some definitely have that mineral oil quality (many wine lovers call it petrol or diesel, but I think mineral oil seems more positive a reference). The ones that send me over the top when I taste them have bracing acidity and an almost unbearable lightness of being, an ephemeral characteristic that leaves flavors flitting across your palate with surprising complexity, even if the initial impression may not carry depth. If I had to point to a German region and insist on making the comparison, I'd say Finger Lakes Rieslings (at least the ones that excite me the most) remind me of the delicate wines from the Mittelrhein, which admittedly is not Germany's most revered wine region. (Though I love that delicacy!) So perhaps it's best just to say that New York is carving out its own identity with the grape.
Some of my favorites? Hermann J. Wiemer and Dr. Konstantin Frank are the most classic. The ones that I find especially enticing come from Fox Run, Anthony Road and Red Newt. Chateau Lafayette Reneau had a wonderful Riesling that won Best in Show at the Atlantic Seaboard Wine Competition once, and at this year's judging I flipped for what turned out to be the 2009 Dry Riesling from Glenora.
New York is not limited to the Finger Lakes, of course. Long Island is making some delicious reds, and this region is also establishing its own style and character - the better wineries are no longer trying to make Pomerol, they're just happy making the best damn Long Island merlot they can.
And more and more New York wines are now reaching the D.C. area market, which means they are making enough to distribute wines outside the state. This was the topic of my Washington Post column last week. This column was particularly gratifying because it engendered considerably more response than I usually get, through e-mails and phone calls. Most of them said something like, "Nice column, but you didn't mention my favorite ... " That means readers are aware of New York wines and looking out for them, whether on their travels up north or now on their local retail shelves.
For more information about New York's wineries, go to uncorknewyork.com, the website of the New York Wine & Grape Foundation, or to Lenn Thompson's New York Cork Report. Don't forget Regional Wine Week coming up Oct. 10-16 on DrinkLocalWine.com!
Calling all wine bloggers: Don't forget the third annual Regional Wine Week, next week, Oct. 10-16. Not that you haven't been writing about your local wines all year, but this is the time to draw extra attention to the exciting wines "from around here, wherever 'here' happens to be."
Here's info on the week at DrinkLocalWine.com, which will post links to as many articles as we can find about local wine. The website is also a one-stop portal for readers interested in learning about wines from anywhere in the U.S. - or at least those areas that you don't normally read about (as in, the West Coast).
But DrinkLocalWIne.com is more than just an interesting collection of articles about wines you may never find on your local retail shelves. If you are planning a trip somewhere, say to Philadelphia or the Lehigh Valley in eastern Pennsylvania, check out DrinkLocalWine for articles by Paul Vigna or David Falchek for suggestions on what local wines to seek out while you're there. Headed for New York City? Even if you aren't able to get to wine country in the Finger Lakes or Long Island, on DrinkLocalWine.com you can find links to Lenn Thompson's fine New York Cork Report and other scribblings about the Empire State's vino.
It's not just a wine website, but also a travel resource.
The "drink local" movement is gaining steam. When my buddy Jeff Siegel, aka The Wine Curmudgeon, received a press release last week touting a dinner with cookbook author Diana Kennedy to be held next month at the Modern Museum of Modern Art in Fort Worth, he immediately asked the organizers if Texas or Mexican wines would be among the "carefully selected" wines for the Mexican menu. The museum's chef emailed him that although the menu had not been finalized, Texas wines would be involved. Maybe Mexican wines, too.
In April, the Park Hyatt in Washington added a Virginia winery to its Masters of Food and Wine program after I criticized the all-California selection for an event touting regional Mid-Atlantic agriculture. The Lettuce Entertainment restaurant group did the same for a Chesapeake Bay-themed dinner at their Wildfire restaurant in Tyson's Corner, Va, scheduled for July 27. Once I inquired about it, they quickly lined up Barboursville Vineyards as a co-sponsor and featured winery for the dinner.
The message is getting some big media play, too. Jon Bonne wrote about "justifying local wine" in the San Francisco Chronicle - "local" meaning California, of course. And Steve Heimoff, a senior editor and very distinguished wine writer with Wine Enthusiast magazine, recently blogged about a plea from a vintner for wine lovers to support their local wineries to help them through hard times. Heimoff lives in California wine country, and "local" for him also means California wine, but the message translates. The vintner Heimoff cited was Oded Shakked of Longboard Vineyards, who criticized restaurants for touting their local produce but ignoring local wines.
And that is precisely the message Todd Kliman eloquently espouses in a withering essay posted last week on The Daily Beast. In "The Locavore Wine Hypocrisy," Kliman takes on some of the most famous restaurants in the country for talking a good local game on their menus and not following through on their wine lists.
"... if these are heady days for the local cheesemaker, butcher, and farmer, they're head-scratching days for the local vintner, who has been largely shut out of the feel-good foodie fad. If the wine lists at the country's most prominent locavore restaurants tell us anything, it's that 'what grows together, goes together'—the mantra of the movement—is meant to refer to what's on the plate, not what's in the glass. Local and regional wines are seldom to be found."
Kliman, the food and wine editor of Washingtonian magazine and author of the tremendous new book, The Wild Vine, rips apart the most common excuse for ignoring local wines - that they are too expensive and better values abound from California. Chefs are willing to pay extra for organic eggs from chickens just up the road, he points out. And sommeliers are supposed to align their wine lists with the chef's menu, even if it means a little extra work to suss out the better wines from the area. But many somms seem unwilling to take a chance on local wines that don't seem trendy.
"The idealism of their mission statements notwithstanding, what locavore restaurants are telling us is that quality matters much less than cachet when it comes to assembling a wine list—the perception that a given product is the best, most exquisite example in its class," Kliman writes.
Maybe once local wines gain a little more cachet, the sommeliers will wake up. What's interesting to me, however, is that momentum for local wine is coming from writers - bloggers, especially - and consumers, rather than retailers or sommeliers. When I eat out, I want my sommelier to be taking chances and to seek out unusual wines - even if they come from just up the road. Don't treat me with kid gloves - dazzle me.


We all know Storage Wars is produced to maximize entertainment value. The cast members are "characters", edited for dramatic effect and probably at least partially scripted. Many viewers accuse the producers of planting items in the lockers so the cast can make big "discoveries". The drama seems too over the top to be real sometimes – and do they really make enough money to drive Cadillacs?
Well, you might be surprised at how much the show resembles a real live storage auction – it's more accurate than you think.
Of course, we haven't witnessed a taping of the show so this is just our opinion…but here's a short list of how we think Storage Wars represents a real auction…and where they're making things up.
Here's what we think Storage Wars has bang-on!
The auctions – and the items inside. We don't think they plant items in the lockers. Honestly, those bizarre discoveries that seem so improbable really do happen. We've really found a safe under a blanket at the back of a crappy locker. An authentic Burberry watch really did fall out of a trash bag. And we did get a locker for $1 that earned us thousands of dollars in collectibles, antiques, and sterling silver.
The characters. Yes, they're amplified and those interviews are at least partially scripted. But there's a Barry Weiss (the guy who shows up, overpays, takes one treasure and tries to pawn off the rest of the stuff to another buyer). There's a Darrell Sheets (the guy who cracks jokes, trash talks and then gambles on "mystery boxes"). And yes, we're often referred to as Jarrod and Brandi.
The prices people pay. The cast members are paid to be on the show, so it's understandable that they're willing to pay more for units – they're not really gambling with their own money, and high bids make for high drama, which the producers probably love. Sometimes prices do get out of hand at the auctions, but $3000 is the most we've ever seen someone pay. The most we've ever spent on a single unit is $1100.
The animosity. Seriously, do you really think they get that mad – AND hold a grudge? Doubtful.
What do you think? Are the auctions on Storage Wars real or fabricated?
I can't believe some of the wacky items on the show. I think they must plant at least some of them. How do you find an expert to give you a valuation on some of the weird stuff?
Google is often the only expert we need, but sometimes we look for a specialist – I just contacted John's Jukes about our unusual Card Ball pub game, in fact. It's rare that we have no idea what something is.

More than 100 Youngstown State University students gathered around the rock on YSU's campus to demand gun reform and remember those who died in the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida one month ago.
Students from Youngstown Early College organized the event along with the Student Government Association.
Ernie Barkett, Vice President of YSU's SGA, urged students to register to vote and to vote out lawmakers who resist change.
The event included a moment of silence and a reading of the names of the victims of February's shooting.
Students observed a moment of silence as the names of the Parkland victims were read. One student said he was taking part in the protest because "I care from my heart."
Students honored the victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting with a candlelight ceremony. Fourteen students took turns to speak about the 14 student victims and three teachers spoke about the three teacher victims.
They each lit a candle on stage in the victim's memory.
Mayor John Darko urged students to come to him when they need help or someone to talk to.
Student Council member Lukas Mosora said the student council decided to honor the victims with their tribute instead of walking out as some schools are doing around the country because they felt it was more meaningful and productive.
Students sporting orange policy and chance shirts walked out of of their school equipped with letters to bring with them to Washington D.C. to give to legislatures.
Emma Crissman, senior student, said she's excited to deliver the letters.
At least 150 students participated in the walkout to protest gun violence.
five high school seniors walked out of the building in support of the 17 victims of the Parkland, Fla., shooting.
The students said by walking out they will be punished by having to go to "Saturday school," and stay in a room for four hours.
"I feel the movement is important enough to walk out," said Leigh Carabbia. "The administration not wanting us to take a stand is despicable."
Sophia Justice said the school's lockdown safety drill today "is a completely tone deaf action on behalf of the administration. They should not inhibit our protest and by doing this lockdown they are completely undermining the entire meaning of the walkout movement."
No students walked outside of Canfield High School today for the National School Walkout Day to protest gun violence at schools and remember those who died in school shootings.
Buses at the school blocked entrances this morning and Canfield Police were posted in front of the school.
Eight Poland Seminary High School students walked out of their school at 10 a.m.
Although they could face discipline for walking out of class, the students said it wasn't a difficult choice.
They want to see changes to gun laws, such as raising the age at which people can buy guns.
They said they do not feel safe at school.
They also said they plan to continue to call for change after National Walkout Day is over.
The school also observed a moment of silence and made the gym available for students who wanted to privately reflect.
The school is now hearing from state Rep. John Boccieri of Poland, D-59th.
Students assembled in the high school gymnasium at 10 a.m. but mostly stood around talking with each other for around 10 minutes before these girls moved to an open space in the gym and asked everyone to be silent and respect the students who died in Florida last month.

What FirstNet means for the future of Land Mobile Radios
This entry was posted in Communications First Responders Physical Security and tagged FirstNet on June 5, 2020 by Editorial Staff
By Taylor Thomas, Marketing Specialist at Waveband Communications and First Source Wireless
FirstNet, First Responders Network Authority, was established in 2012 by Congress to build and deploy a nationwide broadband network. The creation of this network is solely dedicated to first responders. FirstNet networks give first responders fast, reliable, and highly secure communications during daily transmissions and disasters.
Public safety identified a need for a better communication network after the attacks on September 11, 2001, when first responder's radio systems could not easily operate across police, fire, and paramedics. During 9/11, land and mobile power lines received a high volume of calls, making it difficult to communicate. For over 11 years, public safety advocates created the 9/11 Commission Report and pushed Congress to act and pass legislation for the dedicated network. Congress ultimately created the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) in 2012.
In March 2017, FirstNet awarded a 25-year contract with AT&T to implement and build the network. FirstNet Authority launched nationwide in 2018 with all 50 states including two territories and Washington, DC joining the network. Today, FirstNet Authority is continuing to ensure public safety professionals are supported and ensures their needs are met today and into the future.
FirstNet Authority's primary users are agencies who are on the scene of an emergency first. These include,
Emergency Dispatch (911)
And Education
FirstNet Extended Primary Users are agencies, nonprofit or for-profit organizations, who provide support for primary users including, mitigation, clean-up, and restoration during or after an emergency have occurred.
FirstNet is critical to the public safety sectors to provide first responders with technologies that allow them to communicate to do their job safely and effectively. FirstNet allows public safety to share one network to improve communication and work together to save lives.
In this article, we will discuss the transition from land mobile radios to FirstNet and explain the advantages and disadvantages of each network.
Two-way radios have been used since 1933 to communicate between departments. Today, radios are still being used by public safety to communicate day to day and even through emergencies. With FirstNet coming into the scene, organizations should not abandon the thought of LMR just yet.
So, what does FirstNet mean for land mobile radio? With the creation of the network now being used across many devices including cell phones, agencies should continue to use and invest in their land mobile radios for the time being. Public safety professionals understand the financial aspects of maintaining a two-way radio, so contemplating moving to FirstNet may be a consideration.
The release of FirstNet Authority brings many to believe LMR systems may be fading out over the years following but many encourage the use of radios should continue. The following explains why ditching your two-way radio is not the best option.
Issues with talkaround
Talkaround enables two portable radios to communicate directly without a repeater. This feature in radios is important for public safety professionals, especially firefighters. Although the network will have talkaround, it will not be as effective as the LMR systems in terms of capability. LTE devices, although they may appear to be similar to an LMR system, they will operate with less output power and utilize smaller batteries. There also appears to be an issue with the distance LTE devices can be before the talkaround mode will not operate. The distance these devices can be from each other before communication runs out is smaller. It is advised that until these networks provide similar talkaround modes, agencies should still be using LMR for communication.
FirstNet has two data plans to choose from for their devices, unlimited Enhanced and Unlimited Standard. The Enhanced plan is 44.90 per month per device while the Standard plan is 39.99 per month per device. The features of each plan include,
Enhanced: Unlimited Talk, Text, Data, Mobile Hotspot, and Tethering
Standard: Unlimited Talk, Text, and Data
Before switching to an LTE device, your agency should consider the lifetime costs of providing the service to your department and if you can allocate those costs.
Two-way radios have been known to stand up in the aftermath of a natural disaster. Cell phones are typically inoperable due to downed cellular towers which result in limited communication. LMR's also have many backup options like interchangeable batteries when power is low providing extra assurance. According to the National Public Safety Telecommunication Council (NPSTC) report, LTE networks require 10 times as many cellular sites to give the same coverage as an LMR device would. Until we are certain FirstNet can provide us secure connection during emergencies such as hurricanes and storms, using LMR should continue to be strongly considered as the main option.
When FirstNet is fully built out, coverage will extend to 76.2 percent of the United States and D.C. Ultimately, coverage will be provided to public safety professionals in Hawaii and Alaska and all five U.S. island territories. Although coverage is continuing to expand and the FirstNet is continuing to develop, we must guarantee that we have sufficient coverage when responding to disasters and large events. FirstNet and the partnership with AT&T are working together to develop replacement coverage such as trucks, satellites, and antenna systems. The network currently has a fleet of 76 solutions for temporary coverage. FirstNet does advise public safety agencies to consider procuring their temporary coverage during high volume events.
If you are considering changing to an LTE device, coverage, and capacity of this network should be strongly discussed and be fully dependable during the time of use.
Law enforcement requires radio transmissions to be encrypted for secure communication. Police radios main types of encryptions are AES, DES, and RSA. Having a secure communication means police require radios to have encryptions. FirstNet allows for end-to-end encryption on their LTE devices. The network comes with a FIPS 140-2 compliant VPN that keeps traffic protected.
FirstNet also has around the clock security monitoring by the Security Operations Center which is dedicated to protecting critical data and services. The network also has User Authentication allows for ease of use with ICAM, Identity Credential, and Access Management.
FirstNet Devices
FirstNet now has a wide range of phones and devices that are compatible with the network. FirstNet can also be added onto tablets, laptops, smart devices such as Apple watches, modems, and routers.
Alcatel SMARTFLIP
iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Maxf
iPhone SE, iPhone Xs Max, iPhone Xs
Kyocera Duraforce Pro 2

APX Next All-Band P25 Smart Portable Radio
L3Harris XL-185P Single Band Portable Radio
L3Harris Xl-200P Multi-Band Portable Radio
FirstNet is available on select two-way radios including Harris and Motorola. This allows the network to be fully compatible with existing radios. This interoperability lets you keep using two-way radios and the accessories you are using now. These two-way radios allow public safety professionals the opportunity to keep using devices they know and have used for years instead of switching to an LTE device.
FirstNet and LMR Accessories
Law enforcement and other public safety officials rely heavily on additional communication accessories to do their job effectively. These accessories can include a speaker microphone, radio earpiece, surveillance kit, antennas, and more. FirstNet has made additional accessories available for their Sonim devices. This list includes wired PTT headsets, remote speaker microphones, holsters, and chargers. Currently, FirstNet only has accessories for their Sonim XP5 and XP8 devices and do not have accessories for the compatible FirstNet phones.
If you choose to continue using two-way radios with FirstNet capabilities, your current accessories will continue to support. Motorola radio accessories, from Waveband Communications, are durable and guaranteed to be compatible. Agencies will find it easier to purchase accessories including more options to choose from such as style and availability.
Sonim manufactures cell phones that are compatible with FirstNet. The Sonim XP5, XP7, and XP8 have 1-wire surveillance kits that can connect to the cell phone and be used for covert communication.
Do I make the switch from two-way radio to an LTE device?
Switching from a two-way radio to a FirstNet device should not be taken lightly and you should consider the concerns before you conclude. You should consider all aspects of cost, coverage, available accessories, and network issues. It is suggested to continue investing in your LMR devices until certain LTE devices are the right choice and safety is not compromised. Agencies should continue to keep checking on the progress FirstNet is making for public safety. Remember, the safety and communication of our public safety professionals should be the main concern.

McMillan, Dwight Earl, 60, passed away Thursday, November 2, 2017. Dwight was born to Dr. Joseph H. McMillan, Sr. and Mildred A. McMillan in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on October 14, 1957.
Dwight grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan and East Lansing, Michigan and was a graduate of East Lansing High School. During this time Dwight distinguished himself as a standout basketball player and performing arts student. Dwight loved basketball and enjoyed telling everyone he met that he played basketball against Earvin "Magic" Johnson when he on the East Lansing High School Varsity Basketball team. Dwight had a great singing voice and participated in several choirs, musicals, and plays during his years in the East Lansing Public Schools. After high school Dwight attended Grand Valley State University and the University of Louisville.
Realizing the worth of the gift of salvation, Dwight accepted Christ at an early age at First Community A.M.E. Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. When the family moved to Louisville, Dwight became a member of N Street Baptist Church and also attended Green Street Baptist Church.
Dwight is survived by his loving mother, Mildred A. McMillan; two brothers, Charles E. McMillan of Lansing, Michigan, and Joseph H. McMillan, Jr. of Coldwater, Michigan; one sister, Diane J. McMillan and husband Robert B. Hurd, Sr. of Grand Rapids, Michigan; three nieces, two nephews, 16 cousins, and extended family and friends. Dwight is preceded in death by his father, Dr. Joseph H. McMillan, Sr., his brother Michael D. McMillan, and sister-in-law Deborah A. McMillan.


Why Do Some Telehealth Programs Succeed While Others Fail?
A recent study published in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, has garnered some attention for its failure to capture positive results for a remote patient management (RPM) program.
As the authors admitted, the study's RPM program failed to utilize recent advancements in personal technology (e.g., tablets and smartphone-style interface) to maximize patient engagement.
The study failed to offer a truly controlled environment; patients in the control group still had access, and may have already been engaged with, previously implemented programs.
The real takeaway seems clear. Effective telehealth programs require not only a commitment to patient engagement by the technology provider; they also require an insider's understanding of how available technology can be leveraged to achieve an organization's specific operational needs (as well as the best interests of its patient population).
In other words, a boilerplate, one-size-fits-all telehealth program — which seem to be at the heart of disappointing studies such as last month's JAMA article — simply isn't going to cut it.
It's logical to conclude, then, that the success of a telehealth program requires a provider who offers a premium, patient-oriented service, backed by proven and reliable technology.
For instance, Care Innovations, an Intel company®, works to combine our rich, Intel-backed, decades-long history of technological innovations with premium, patient-driven service solutions. And it's probably no coincidence that our commitment to this formula has enabled us to actually provide provable ROI metrics to our clients.
How do we achieve this? "We are really a services company — backed by some spectacular technology," says Marcus Grindstaff, Care Innovations' Chief Operating Officer.
"Over the past decade, we evolved from a technology company into a technology company with services wrapped around that technology, to where we are today: a services company backed by fantastic technology," Marcus adds.
"We start all engagements with a program design consulting activity, and we don't sell the technology without it," Marcus explains.
As Marcus is quick to tell us, his team has already accumulated an abundance of data that supports Care Innovations success as a telehealth program. If this sounds like a breath of fresh air to you — and, finally, a real reason to embrace the possibilities of telehealth and remote patient management — we invite you to speak with us directly: Contact us here to schedule a conversation.
