DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE OVERSIGHT HEARING ON “2006 HURRICANE SEASON AND AT-RISK CITIES” BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE, SCIENCE AND TRANSPORTATION SUBCOMMITTEE ON DISASTER PREVENTION AND PREDICTION UNITED STATES SENATE MAY 24, 2006 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee, I am Max Mayfield, Director of the Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center. The National Hurricane Center is a part of the National Weather Service (NWS), of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the Department of Commerce. Thank you for inviting me here today, during National Hurricane Preparedness Week, to discuss the outlook for the 2006 Hurricane Season, and to talk about our country’s cities most vulnerable to hurricanes. First, let me express my sincere gratitude to the members of this Committee. Your continued support of NOAA and our hurricane program enables us to make the best forecasts possible, helping ensure the people of our Nation understand the potential impacts from hurricanes and what they can do to protect their life and property. The FY 2006 Hurricane Supplemental Funding approved by Congress is being used as directed, including funding forecast model improvements, and storm surge and inland hurricane forecasting improvements. Thank you again for your support. Everywhere I go I am asked about the forecast for the upcoming hurricane season. People want to know how many hurricanes there will be and if one will hit their area. The media also gives these seasonal forecasts high visibility, and this can have a very positive effect because it raises awareness about the threat from hurricanes and encourages people to prepare for what might happen.

  • Rod Dedeaux ˨ the Architect of Usc Baseball R Rod
    RODRRODOD DEDEAUXDDEDEAUXEDEAUX ˨˨ THETTHEHE ARCHITECTAARCHITECTRCHITECT OOFOFF UUSCUSCSC BBASEBALLBASEBALLASEBALL On January 5, 2006, the USC baseball program suff ered the loss of Rod Dedeaux, one of the greatest college coaches ever, who passed away at the age of 91. Not only was Dedeaux the main architect for the success of the USC baseball program, but also one of the great ambassadors for college baseball and amateur baseball in international competition. In his 45-year tenure at USC (1942-86), Dedeaux led the Trojans to 11 national championships and 28 conference titles. He posted an overall record of 1,332-571-11 for a superb .699 winning percentage. At his retirement, he had won more games than any other college baseball coach (he currently ranks seventh among Division I coaches). His teams from 1970-74 won fi ve straight NCAA championships, a record that may never be broken. No other school has won more than two in a row. Two personal honors for Dedeaux, which are quite fi tting considering his accomplishments, came in 1999 when he was named “Coach of the Century” by both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. As part of the 50th anniversary of the College World Series in 1996, Dedeaux was named the head coach of the All-Time CWS team by a panel of former World Series coaches, media and college baseball offi cials. In 1999, he was presented with keys to the city of Omaha (home to the College World Series). Dedeaux was named Coach of the Year six times by the American Baseball Coaches Association and was inducted into the organization’s Hall of Fame in 1970.

  • The Baseball Coaching Bible Pdf
    The baseball coaching bible pdf Continue Much more than a book about skills, strategy, or exercise, the Baseball Coaching Bible is a career for the sport. Many of the game's greatest coaches ever known - including coaches of the century in high school, junior college, NAIA, and Division I, II, III, as called collegiate baseball - combine to cover all aspects of coaching. 27 contribution coaches share their keys to championship baseball, something they know well by winning 50 national titles and nearly 25,000 games. The Baseball Coaching Bible covers all aspects of coaching, with every coach addressing the issue he knows best. From head of Bobby Winkles on Instilling Noise and Ron Polk's chapter on organizing the winning program, Ed Cheff's chapter on innovative practices and head of Rod Dedeaux on creating pride and tradition, the Baseball Coaching Bible goes beyond Xs and Os. A diverse and huge amount of information book allows you to choose what you implement in your program in any particular season, but you will learn and have fun with it all. The wit and wisdom of baseball's sharpest minds shine through their memorable stories and valuable ideas. Jerry Kindall and John Winkin organized and edited the content. Coach Dave Keillos's influence is a strong and appropriate introduction. From there, the book flows logically and quickly through six sections: - Coaching Priorities and Principles with chapters from John Scolinos, Chuck Bobo Brayton, Hal Smeltzly, Bob Smith, and Winkles. - Construction and management of programs with recordings of Ken Schreiber, Marc Marquez, Ron Fraser and Polk.

  • Insurance Times: a Decade Later, Power of Andrew Remembered Insurers Weren’T Financially Prepared for Most Expensive Storm in U.S
    Insurance Times: A decade later, power of Andrew remembered Insurers weren’t financially prepared for most expensive storm in U.S. history September 3, 2002, Vol. XXI No. 18 by Adrian Sainz Associated Press MIAMI — On radar, the storm was a spherical mass barreling into the Florida coast, with red, yellow and blue hues warning of deadly wind and torrential rain. That abstract image of Hurricane Andrew's fury was swiftly replaced with a devastation all too real — flattened homes, trees reduced to toothpicks, dazed residents walking through neighborhoods that looked like war zones. “I know what it's like to think that you're going to die, and for God to spare you,'' said John Cosgrove, who huddled in a closet with his wife and children as their home fell apart around them a decade ago. “We lost everything.'' Andrew's winds, 14-foot storm surge, heavy rain and tornadoes spared Miami and Fort Lauderdale. But early on the morning of Aug. 24, 1992, the hurricane roared through Homestead, Florida City and other small cities farther south. Forty-three deaths were blamed on Andrew in the United States, 126,000 homes were destroyed, and 80 percent of the area's farms were wiped out. With $30 billion in damage, it remains the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history. It also continues to impact South Florida, where it changed lives and everything from insurance regulations and construction codes to the very location of the National Hurricane Center. Last week, scientists ended a decade of debate on the storm's intensity by announcing that what was once thought to a Category 4 storm is now believed to have hit 165 mph — making it only the third Category 5 storm to hit the United States in recorded history.
