Follow the Daily Herald Monday evening at the Peaks Ice Arena, two young men, one just into his teenage years, the other still almost a year away from turning 13, waged a grown-up battle on the ice, throwing out triple Lutzes, triple flips, triple-triples and three-jump combinations with poise beyond their years and talent to spare. Cher Swears Off Macy's When the ice chips settled, it was 12-year-old Vincent Zhou of the All Year Figure Skating Club in Due to Donald Tr… Ontario, Calif., who edged defending U.S. junior champion Nathan Chen of Salt Lake City (SLFS) for the junior men’s title at the Pacific Coast Sectional competition. Of course, both skaters – along with Nix Phengsy of All Year and Shotaro Omori of the Los Angeles FSC – advanced to the U.S. Nationals, where Chen will get another shot at Zhou as he attempts to defend his junior national title.

  • Ecological Importance of Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Utah Lake
    Ecological Importance of Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Utah Lake File name: Ecological Role of Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Utah Lake Focus on the Keystone Taxon Chironomidae and HABs Version 1.2 Ecological Importance of Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Utah Lake With a Focus on the Role of the Keystone Taxon Chironomidae on HABs Progress Report January 28, 2017 By: David C. Richards, Ph. D. OreoHelix Consulting Phone: 406.580.7816 Email: [email protected] and Theron Miller, Ph.D. Jordan River Farmington Bay Water Quality Council OreoHelix Consulting 1 Ecological Importance of Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Utah Lake Introduction Benthic macroinvertebrates are a critical component of the ecology and ecosystem functioning of Utah Lake. They are a major link between sediment chemistry, water column chemistry, nutrient cycling, benthic algae, phytoplankton, and Utah Lake’s food web including carp, game fish, June suckers, waterfowl, shorebirds, etc. Benthic invertebrates provide underappreciated but invaluable ecosystem services and are keystone taxa instrumental for the functioning of Utah Lake’ ecosystem. It has become clear that several dominant benthic taxa, primarily chironomids, play a key role in the timing and intensity of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the lake. Very few studies have been conducted on the benthic invertebrate assemblages in Utah Lake (Barnes and Toole 1981, Spencer and Denton 2003, Shiozawa and Barnes 1977) and none were conducted at the level and intensity that is presently being accomplished by this group. No study has ever examined the role of benthic invertebrates on HABs in Utah Lake, this is the first. Our research is also an important element of sediment chemistry, nutrients, and food web models that are presently being conducted by us and others on Utah Lake.
