Climate change is putting shellfish at risk as increases in carbon emissions and agricultural runoff are altering ocean ecosystems.Now oyster farmers are adapting before going extinct.“It’s not that they grow more slowly, it’s that they’re less likely to grow at all,” said Todd Van Herpe of Humboldt County Oyster Co.Van Herpe has been farming northern California’s Humboldt Bay for years. Now his livelihood is at risk after scientists say a change in ocean acidification is making it more difficult for oysters to form their shells and ultimately survive.“They’re like anything else; there’s strong one and a weaker one,” Van Herpe said of young oysters. To help protect his product, Van Herpe is getting seed grown in hatcheries. And in this multimillion-dollar industry, any increase in cost is ultimately passed on to you. “We’re going to have to charge our customers more,” Van Herpe said. At Humboldt Bay Provisions, workers are opening up about the change in the industry. “I’ve noticed it’s getting harder and harder to find the freshest oysters,” said one employee.Now this North Coast oyster restaurant is working with more oyster farmers to get this area’s most iconic seafood.“It’s really a source of pride for the people of Eureka and the people of Humboldt County that we have this right in our backyard,” the worker said. Back on the bay, ocean experts are tracking the change in weather conditions. Dr. Joe Tyburczy of California Sea Grant Extension says oysters are suffering because of an increase in carbon emissions and agricultural runoff, which could mean an end to this industry. “If we’re thinking about mass extinctions and radical changes in marine ecosystems this could drive fisheries collapses,” he said.To help keep more oysters alive oyster alive, oyster farmers like Hog Island Oyster Company is now farming oysters in controlled environments.“We’re doing a lot of research here with eel grass and how eel grass can help with manage the acidity of the water through photosynthesis and respiration and taking some of that carbon dioxide out of the air,” Hog Island Oyster Company scientist Juan Avellaneda, PhD said.Making genetic gains could help this seafood and this industry survive. 2232

DETROIT, Mich. — A metro Detroit woman has gone missing during a trip to Peru. Carla Valpeoz went to South America for a wedding and never returned, authorities say.Carla works at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. She's been missing for six days while on a visit to Machu Picchu.A state department investigation is underway right now following her disappearance."She’s done everything in her life to prepare to eventually go blind," said Valpeoz's brother Carlos.He adds that his sister is losing her vision and was on a mission to see the world before she no longer could. He says while in Peru for a wedding, Carla went to Machu Pichhu where she met a tour group. They were the last to see her after making it to their hostel in Cusco, Peru the night of December 11. Carla wanted to see the Sacred Valley the next morning."The local police has found her on camera entering a taxi, potentially heading to Pisac," Carlos said.The State Department said in a statement regarding the investigation: 1035

Creating vape juice, the liquid inside e-cigarettes, is a complicated process, that someone like George Cassels-Smith can talk for hours about. Cassels-Smith’s knowledge of e-juice and the electronic tobacco business stems from his family’s long history in traditional tobacco. In the early 1900s, his great grandfather ran a company around flavoring cigarettes. His father took the business over and eventually, it fell into his hands after his father passed. “I lost my father due to cigarettes,” said Cassels-Smith. “He was a lifetime smoker. He had three heart attacks and two strokes and cancer twice, and that’s why I entered into manufacturing e-juice.”The family business is now eLiquidTech, located outside Maryland. “I’d like to try and help people with their nicotine dependence with a safer alternative,” he said.When it comes to the safety of vaping, the Centers for Disease Control says almost 1,500 people around the country with a reported a history of vaping have been hospitalized with acute lung illnesses. More than two dozen people have died from it. “For the last 10 years, there have been relatively no health risk associated with it or very low,” said Cassels-Smith. “Now, all of a sudden, people are dropping like flies. What has been new that’s been introduced?”The CDC is still trying to figure that out. However, that question bothered George Cassels-Smith so much, he decided to test every product eLiquidTech makes. The test revealed, “that we were not introducing a biological problem to the agents that we compound.”Weeks of talking with other vaping manufacturers and industry insiders has left Cassels-Smith believing the cause of the outbreak may stem from black-market products or people introducing additional substances to legally manufactured vaping products. His strongest suggested culprit is THC. “I have a hypothesis that it is cannabis related,” Cassels-Smith said. “Those are oil-based products for delivering big aerosol, as opposed to PG glycerin-based, which is for making nicotine products.”Around 78 percent of the people who have come down with vaping related illness, or who have died, have reported using THC liquids in their e-cigarettes. However, the CDC has not definitively pointed to that being the cause of this outbreak. The CDC’s current statement on the cause of the rash of recent lung illnesses and deaths is, “At this time, FDA and CDC have not identified the cause or causes of the lung injuries in these cases, and the only commonality among all cases is that patients report the use of e-cigarette, or vaping, products.”“I would ask the CDC and the FDA to carefully look at the delineation into scrutinize what these elements are associated with,” said Cassels-Smith. “We need to do more effort to find out what is exactly doing this.” Answers would help eLiquidTech’s business, which typically it produces 80,000 to 100,000 kilos of vape juice. But this month, it is only projected to produce 10,000. Answers would also help George-Cassel Smith’s conscience. “With people dying, I need answers. I need to sleep well at night,” he said. “I am doing everything I can to make sure I am not part of the problem.”But most importantly, answer would help families, losing love ones around the country from vaping related illnesses. 3305

CINCINNATI, Ohio — Homes reduced to splinters. A high school with its roof torn off by wind. A snowplow clearing debris from I-75. More than 50,000 people without electricity.The images that emerged from a Monday night string of severe thunderstorms showed a Miami Valley devastated by high winds, lashing rain and at least one confirmed tornado — likely more, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, Ohio.
