As son of the late Frederic C. Dumaine, ironhanded boss of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, Frederic C. ("Buck") Dumaine Jr. referred to himself as "Dad's errand boy." Last week 48-year-old Buck Dumaine got a more impressive title. The New Haven's board of directors elected him to his late father's job as president and board chairman of the $429.6 million road.
No one knows more about his father's business than Buck Dumaine. He went to work for his father after graduating from Connecticut's Pomfret School in 1923. When Dumaine the Elder quietly took over a controlling interest in...

FREDERIC C. `BUCK' DUMAINE, 94; RAILROAD MAGNATE, GOP ACTIVIST
The Boston Globe (Boston, MA)
April 18, 1997 | Edgar J. Driscoll, Jr., Globe Correspondent
Frederic C. Dumaine Jr., a former state Republican leader and railroad magnate who forged a reputation as a determined battler on the political and industrial fronts, died March 13 in his home in Weston. He was 94.
Mr. Dumaine, who was known as Buck, was the director of the Boston- based Amoskeag Co., once the world's largest textile manufacturing firm. He also was a former president of the New Haven Railroad.
A blustery, swashbuckling businessman, he was a conservative politically and a powerhouse in Republican Party affairs in Massachusetts for many years. He served as the outspoken and controversial chairman of the Republican State Committee from 1963 to 1965.

There's lots of flash at the Harmon Branch Library by Richärd+Bauer, but the thing I found most stunning about the building was the structural system's articulation.
I'm looking down the central volume of the building. Adjacent to the perimeter of this volume are varying spaces on either side of the long volume.
These side spaces provide additional support for the oversized and delicate 'trusses' that support the main volume. The side spaces could be referred to as a modern day flying buttress? Anyway, the use of the side supports and big truss means that the inside columns can disappear and 'slip.'
So, inside the column grid is not consistent, but certain columns disappear, allowing different uses to happen in certain spaces. This avoids the problem of the column being the awkward stranger at the party.

A very strong storm system batters California with damaging winds. Even a high wind warning was issued for our area overnight as the storm system's main frontal system passes thru. Even our neighbor's dead birch tree didn't stand a chance. Power outages were a big concern due to falling trees and power lines... Stay safe out there, folks! Pics taken from around San Jose, CA. (Overnight hours of February 1-2, 2019)
*Weather scenario/update for the beginning days of February 2019:
The strongest storm of the season had battered California with flooding rains, damaging winds & thunderstorms… Following a weak system, a far more dynamically impressive system had followed Friday/Saturday. This event featured a rapidly-strengthening surface low near the North Coast. This kind of set-up had the potential to bring very strong winds to parts of NorCal. Such events are subject to uncertainty right up to the day of the event. Luckily, this event had produced winds that were a bit less severe than expected in the Bay Area Friday evening, though local gusts were still damaging (which caused our neighbor’s dead birch tree to fall on our fence/shed). Some gusts were impressive at least for the standards of my area. In addition to the risk of damaging winds in NorCal, the presence of a favorable jet dynamics have created a rather impressive cold frontal passage. Torrential downpours, strong southerly winds & t-storms have occurred in NorCal during the frontal passage with numerous t-storm activity in the Central Valley areas behind the front due to an unstable air mass left behind especially on Saturday & into Sunday. After this large storm passed, another colder system had dipped south from the Pacific Northwest into our state bringing snow levels down to near sea level in local areas of the Bay Area. The weather was to get quite interesting heading into Tuesday morning…

The Gadsden Water Works and Sanitary Sewer Board dedicated its new MIEX® water pretreatment plant on Thursday, May 22, 2014, making it the largest of its kind in North America.
Named for the city’s first water works manager, the C.B. Collier Water Treatment Plant uses the advanced MIEX® process developed by Orica Watercare Inc., which removes the organic precursors that lead to disinfection byproduct formation from the water.
Gadsden Water Works and Sewer Board General Manager Frank Eskridge says the process has been able to remove about two-thirds of the regulated compounds from the finished water, exceeding anticipated results.
The project, designed by Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood and constructed by Max Foote Construction Company, took two and a half years to build and also included major renovations to the existing plant. Currently averaging 10 to 12 million gallons of water production per day with capacity for 24 million gallons per day, the facility’s excess capacity enables the city to support future industrial growth.
The $30 million in improvements to the water and sewer system brought the city’s system in line with new federal guidelines for water treatment, and also included upgrading the system’s East and West River Wastewater Treatment Plants, which improved phosphorus removal and solids handling.

Wow, looks like a thundershower was trying to develop here. A weather system had pushed thru giving the state more much-needed rain and snow. This day, we were now behind the system's main cold front and now in its unstable airmass which explains the showery nature of the rain this afternoon. T-storms were also seen by observers out in the valley with even a funnel cloud spotted. Fun stuff! Pic taken from around San Jose, CA. (Wednesday, November 18, 2020; 3:30 p.m.)
*Weather update/forecast: Rain had returned to the Bay Area on Tuesday as a cold front entered the region from the north early in the day & had moved southward as the day progressed, according to the National Weather Service. The system was expected to bring "light to occasionally moderate rain" first over the North Bay & along the coastal ranges before spreading inland & to the south. The storm was unlikely to drop heavy rain, the weather service said. Rainfall totals from Tuesday into Wednesday were forecast to range from 0.75 of an inch to 1.25 inches in the North Bay mountains & along the coastal ranges, with higher levels around 1.5 inches in the favored wet spots of the North Bay, the weather service said. Meanwhile, between 0.25 & 0.75 of an inch will be common across the North Bay valleys & along the coast from Santa Cruz northward. Totals for the East Bay & South Bay are expected to range between 0.10 & 0.25 of an inch. Forecasters also warned of heavy snow & strong winds in the Sierra Nevada & southern Cascade Range, starting out at higher elevations Tuesday & lowering slightly on Wednesday. Looking ahead in our forecast, a string of mostly sunny & dry days was to follow thru the weekend, with a minor warmup by early next week…

Scientists finally know why people get more colds and flu in winter
(CNN) A chill is in the air, and you all know what that means — it's time for cold and flu season, when it seems everyone you know is suddenly sneezing, sniffling or worse. It's almost as if those pesky cold and flu germs whirl in with the first blast of winter weather.
Yet germs are present year-round — just think back to your last summer cold. So why do people get more colds, flu and now Covid-19 when it's chilly outside?
In what researchers are calling a scientific breakthrough, scientists behind a new study may have found the biological reason we get more respiratory illnesses in winter. It turns out the cold air itself damages the immune response occurring in the nose.
"This is the first time that we have a biologic, molecular explanation regarding one factor of our innate immune response that appears to be limited by colder temperatures," said rhinologist Dr. Zara Patel, a professor of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine in California. She was not involved in the new study.
In fact, reducing the temperature inside the nose by as little as 9 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) kills nearly 50% of the billions of virus and bacteria-fighting cells in the nostrils, according to the study published Tuesday in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
"Cold air is associated with increased viral infection because you've essentially lost half of your immunity just by that small drop in temperature," said rhinologist Dr. Benjamin Bleier, director of otolaryngology at Massachusetts Eye and Ear and an associate professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston.
"it's important to remember that these are in vitro studies, meaning that although it is using human tissue in the lab to study this immune response, it is not a study being carried out inside someone's actual nose," Patel said in an email. "Often the findings of in vitro studies are confirmed in vivo, but not always."
A hornet's nest
To understand why this occurs, Bleier and his team and coauthor Mansoor Amiji, who chairs the department of pharmaceutical sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, went on a scientific detective hunt.
A respiratory virus or bacteria invades the nose, the main point of entry into the body. Immediately, the front of the nose detects the germ, well before the back of the nose is aware of the intruder, the team discovered.
At that point, cells lining the nose immediately begin creating billions of simple copies of themselves called extracellular vesicles, or EV's.
"EV's can't divide like cells can, but they are like little mini versions of cells specifically designed to go and kill these viruses," Bleier said. "EV's act as decoys, so now when you inhale a virus, the virus sticks to these decoys instead of sticking to the cells."
Those "Mini Me's" are then expelled by the cells into nasal mucus (yes, snot), where they stop invading germs before they can get to their destinations and multiply.
"This is one of, if not the only part of the immune system that leaves your body to go fight the bacteria and viruses before they actually get into your body," Bleier said.
Once created and dispersed out into nasal secretions, the billions of EV's then start to swarm the marauding germs, Bleier said.
"It's like if you kick a hornet's nest, what happens? You might see a few hornets flying around, but when you kick it, all of them all fly out of the nest to attack before that animal can get into the nest itself," he said. "That's the way the body mops up these inhaled viruses so they can never get into the cell in the first place."
A big increase in immune power
When under attack, the nose increases production of extracellular vesicles by 160%, the study found. There were additional differences: EV's had many more receptors on their surface than original cells, thus boosting the virus-stopping ability of the billions of extracellular vesicles in the nose.
"Just imagine receptors as little arms that are sticking out, trying to grab on to the viral particles as you breathe them in," Bleier said. "And we found each vesicle has up to 20 times more receptors on the surface, making them super sticky."
Cells in the body also contain a viral killer called micro RNA, which attack invading germs. Yet EVs in the nose contained 13 times micro RNA sequences than normal cells, the study found.
So the nose comes to battle armed with some extra superpowers. But what happens to those advantages when cold weather hits?
To find out, Bleier and his team exposed four study participants to 15 minutes of 40-degree-Fahrenheit (4.4-degree-Celsius) temperatures, and then measured conditions inside their nasal cavities.
"What we found is that when you're exposed to cold air, the temperature in your nose can drop by as much as 9 degrees Fahrenheit. And that's enough to essentially knock out all three of those immune advantages that the nose has," Bleier said.
In fact, that little bit of coldness in the tip of the nose was enough to take nearly 42% of the extracellular vesicles out of the fight, Bleier said.
"Similarly, you have almost half the amount of those killer micro RNA's inside each vesicle, and you can have up to a 70% drop in the number of receptors on each vesicle, making them much less sticky," he said.
What does that do to your ability to fight off colds, flu and Covid-19? It cuts your immune system's ability to fight off respiratory infections by half, Bleier said.
You don't have to wear a nose sock
As it turns out, the pandemic gave us exactly what we need to help fight off chilly air and keep our immunity high, Bleier said.
"Not only do masks protect you from the direct inhalation of viruses, but it's also like wearing a sweater on your nose," he said.
Patel agreed: "The warmer you can keep the intranasal environment, the better this innate immune defense mechanism will be able to work. Maybe yet another reason to wear masks!"
In the future, Bleier expects to see the development of topical nasal medications that build upon this scientific revelation. These new pharmaceuticals will "essentially fool the nose into thinking it has just seen a virus," he said.
"By having that exposure, you'll have all these extra hornets flying around in your mucous protecting you," he added.
Am I in the Midwest? Gotta love the storm structures here as I was headed towards a line of possibly strong storms. Mammatus was seen embedded in the anvil. This was around Turlock, CA while along highway 99 southbound. This was during my storm chase trip around the Central Valley... I left San Jose just after 10:30 a.m. & arrived to the valley before noon. I even met up with a fellow chaser, Sebastian, in Lathrop! Then we went our separate ways & I continued my chase southeast towards Merced. While along highway 99, a line of t-storms had formed in the Merced areas & I later experienced very heavy rain, thunder & lightning. As the afternoon progressed, another line of storms formed further southeast, around Chowchilla, CA with more flooding rains. I went home shortly afterwards and got home by sunset. I was thinking I should’ve stayed in the valley a bit longer since t-storms continued firing just north of Fresno... oh well. Nonetheless, it was a good chase day! ‘Til next time... (Chase outing taken place Thursday, March 22, 2018)
*Weather scenario:
California was experiencing quite active weather so far this rainy season. Even a funnel cloud was observed in the Central Valley just the previous day! This day, the active weather continued. What made this day's setup so favorable for t-storms was that all of this was developing ahead of a storm system’s cold front (the same system involved with our recent ‘atmospheric river’), which was well offshore. This setup was one of the best t-storm setups due to widespread patches of clearing (unlike the previous day Wednesday). What we also had was an exiting moisture plume, or aka, the atmospheric river itself that had been blasting the state for the past couple days. In the southern Sacramento to central San Joaquin valley, severe t-storms that did form along & ahead of the cold front were capable of large hail & potentially a few funnel clouds/tornadoes. The storms slowly subsided during the evening...
