Foundation Announces National Scholarship Honorees FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP HONOREES NEW YORK — August 11th, 2015 – The Foundation of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) awarded scholarships to three college- bound students pursuing careers in television, the organization announced today. The awards include a Trustees’ Scholarship of $40,000 and two $10,000 scholarships honoring legendary journalists Mike Wallace and Jim McKay. “By investing in the great talents of the future, we reaffirm the standard of creative achievement reflected in the Emmy® and the lasting legacy of two great practitioners of our craft,” said NATAS Foundation Vice President Adam Sharp, a 1996 Trustees’ Scholarship winner. “The scholarships mark an unbroken line of excellence connecting two generations of broadcasters.” “The next generation of broadcasters and journalists are already changing the face of television as we know it,” said Bob Mauro, President, NATAS. “We are proud to encourage and support these talented students who with their technological prowess and creativity will continue to bring innovation and excellence to the evolving landscape of media and television in the 21st century.” This year’s honorees are: Matthew Foundoulis of Laguna Hills, California NATAS Trustees Scholarship ($40,000 over four years) A graduate of Laguna Hills High School in Laguna Hills, Calif., Matthew was recognized with a screening of his short film “Ghosts” at the June meeting of the NATAS Board of Trustees in San Diego. Already a talented writer, producer and director, Matthew will be pursuing a TV production degree at New York University. 2 Matthew Cappucci of Plymouth, Massachusetts Mike Wallace Memorial Scholarship ($10,000) An aspiring broadcast meteorologist and youngest-ever presenter at a conference of the American Meteorological Society, Matthew is a graduate of Sturgis Charter Public School East in Hyannis, Mass., and will be attending Harvard University. He was an honored guest at the 2015 Boston/New England Emmy Awards on May 30th, 2015, and will be formally recognized at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards in September. Julia Wilson of Ocala, Florida Jim McKay Memorial Scholarship ($10,000) Julia’s submitted works from Vanguard High School in Ocala, Fla., spanned multiple genres of nonfiction television, including hard news, feature news, and public service announcements. Her commentary on cyber-bullying in the run-up to a big game against a rival school was featured at the Sports Emmy Awards on May 5th, 2015. She will be attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This is the third year of the Mike Wallace Memorial Scholarship, funded by a five- year grant from CBS News in honor of longtime correspondent Mike Wallace (1918-2012) and presented each year at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards. The Jim McKay Memorial Scholarship, now in its sixth year, honors sports journalist Jim McKay (1921-2008) and was established in 2009 by the CBS, ABC NBC, FOX and HBO networks. It is presented annually at the Sports Emmy Awards. The $40,000 Trustees’ Scholarship was reestablished by the NATAS Board of Trustees to recognize an applicant to our various scholarship programs who submitted an outstanding body of work and may also have been honored with a chapter scholarship in 2014 and nominated by that chapter for further national consideration. The 19 regional NATAS chapters award more than $210,000 in scholarships annually.

The purpose of the conference is to enhance professional development and communication among private and public sector meteorologists, teachers, emergency management officials, and weather enthusiasts. This year, we will be covering a wide variety of topics – something for everyone. First, during the registration hour, please partake of Rita’s Catering’s continental breakfast…and you are allowed to carry the food into the foyer, where Matt Doody, from NWS-Taunton will be giving “Breakfast With Matt,” a weather briefing and a look at various weather websites. We will then take a look at climate change, not from a controversial standpoint, but from the perspective of the past 4,000,000,000 years. The new GOES-R satellite is getting ready to be launched and we’ll get a glimpse into some amazing new features that it will have. We’ll reflect back on last winter’s snow storms, two of which occurred with very frigid temperatures, yet the snow:liquid ratios were vastly different. After a short break, we’ll delve into hurricanes. This September was the 60th anniversary of devastating Hurricane Carol and we’re due for a repeat one of these years. Our speaker from farthest away is Dr. Phil Klotzbach, from Colorado State University – he is now the one who, with Dr.

(MediTech) Canton, MA Sponsored by: Blue Hill Observatory Science Center National Weather Service - Taunton, MA UMass-Lowell Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society Lyndon State College Chapter of the AMS/National Weather Association Foreword Welcome to the Fourteenth Southern New England Weather Conference! The purpose of the conference is to enhance professional development and communication among private and public sector meteorologists, teachers, emergency management officials, and weather enthusiasts. This year, we will be focusing a lot of talks about Superstorm Sandy from 2012. However, we will also cover a wide variety of subject areas, including the 1938 hurricane, blizzards, tornadoes, risk management, decision support services, and some good information for teaching weather in the classroom. Superstorm Sandy affected New Jersey, New York, and the coasts of CT, RI, and MA. We will hear what it was like to be a forecaster in the New York City (Upton) National Weather Service Forecast Office. We will again hear from the local Emergency Management Director of East Haven, CT. He spoke at the last weather conference about how his town survived Tropical Storm Irene. On the day of the conference, he had to leave to help evacuate his town for Sandy – he will compare and contrast the two storms. A TV meteorologist from Ocean City will share his views about the Sandy warning process and why he feels that many along the Jersey shore were unprepared. The Meteorologist In-Charge of the Taunton, MA Forecast Office will show storm survey images of damage along the Rhode Island coastline that resulted from Sandy.

Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning, or PSP, is a very real danger in the state of Maine. Resulting from the consumption of shellfish tainted with toxins found in the algae that cause red tide, PSP has become a growing concern in recent years due to dramatic increases in the extent and frequency of red tide blooms in Maine's coastal waters. While the state has an extensive monitoring program for detecting the presence of the various species of algae responsible for red tide, current testing procedures are costly and time consuming.

    Senator George J. Mitchell Center Annual Technical Report FY 2012 Senator George J. Mitchell Center Annual Technical Report FY 2012 1 Introduction The Maine Water Resources Research Institute (Maine Institute) is the primary locus that sustains water science in the state through its support of research, graduate studies, and outreach. These fundamental and essential functions, which would not exist without Congressional authorization and appropriations, are not duplicated in the state in any other form. The federal money that supports the Water Resources Research Institute is highly leveraged with other funds provided by stakeholders, universities, and researchers. Research project proposals are evaluated by peer-review and approved by our Research Advisory Board composed of members from the U.S.G.S. Water Science Center, State Environmental Agencies, U.S. EPA, academia, and industry. During the FY12 period, the Maine Institute supported six (6) research projects, including three student-directed projects: (1) Detection and removal of PPCP's from water supplies; (2) Mercury informatics for aquatic systems; (3) Contributions of street dust to degraded urban streams; (4) Coastal effects on mercury in freshwater fish; and (5) Quality assurance of student scientist data (well water) to improve trust. The Maine Institute supported additional Information Transfer activities such as working with municipalities to manage salt to protect water quality, the Maine Water Conference and GET WET! activities. These projects directly supported four graduate students and three undergraduate students. The Maine Institute Director, John Peckenham, also serves as the Associate Director of the Senator George J. Mitchell Center. The Mitchell Center provides the administrative home for the Institute.
