Revised Draft (2005)
The Need for Guidelines on Public Rights-of-Way
Local jurisdictions, and other entities covered by the ADA or ABA, must ensure that the facilities they build or alter are accessible to people with disabilities. The Board's ADA and ABA accessibility guidelines specify the minimum level of accessibility in new construction and alteration projects and serve as the basis for enforceable standards maintained by other agencies. Currently, the Board's guidelines, like the industry standards from which they derive, focus mainly on facilities on sites. While they address certain features common to public sidewalks, such as curb ramps, accessible routes, ground and floor surfaces, and bus stops and shelters, further guidance is necessary to address conditions unique to public rights-of-way. Various constraints posed by space limitations at sidewalks, roadway design practices, slope, and terrain raise valid questions on how and to what extent access can be achieved. Access for blind pedestrians at street crossings and wheelchair access to on-street parking are typical of the issues for which additional guidance is needed. In addition, new trends in roadway design, such as the growing use of traffic roundabouts, pose additional challenges to access, while various technological innovations, particularly those pertaining to pedestrian signaling devices, offer new solutions.
The Board previously proposed guidelines for public rights-of-way under the ADA which were published for public comment in 1992 and 1994. Based on the comments received, the Board determined that it should further coordinate with the transportation industry and State and local governments before continuing its rulemaking. Consequently, the Board undertook an outreach and training program on accessible public rights-of-way. Under this program, the Board developed a series of videos, an accessibility checklist, and a design guide on accessible public rights-of-way. In addition, the Board sponsored research on tactile warnings at street crossings, accessible pedestrian signals, and traffic roundabouts. The Board has made this information widely available to the public. The interest in these materials has underscored the need for criteria for public rights-of-way that are definitive and enforceable so that local jurisdictions and others are clear on their obligations when constructing or altering streets and sidewalks.
Public Rights-of-Way Access Advisory Committee
In resuming its rulemaking effort, the Board chartered an advisory committee in 1999 to develop recommendations on guidelines for accessible public rights-of-way. Use of advisory committees has become a standard practice in the Board's process for developing and updating design requirements. Through such committees, interested groups, including those representing designers, industry, and people with disabilities, play a substantive role in recommending to the Board the content of the guidelines to be developed. These committees provide significant sources of expertise while enhancing the level of consensus among stakeholders in advance of proposing a rule for public comment.
The Public Rights-of-Way Access Advisory Committee was composed of 33 members representing disability organizations, public works departments, transportation and traffic engineering groups, design professionals and civil engineers, government agencies, and standards-setting bodies. The committee coordinated its efforts with leading trade organizations represented on the committee, such as the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and federal agencies, such as the Federal Highway Administration, to ensure that its recommendations were consistent with generally accepted practice among design professionals. The committee organized several subcommittees focused on key issue areas. The subcommittee structure enabled members to continue work on a tight time schedule between meetings of the full committee and allowed for greater public participation in the process.
The advisory committee met regularly over a year's time, usually in Washington, D.C. but also in Austin and San Francisco. Its work culminated in the issuance of a report, "Building a True Community," which was submitted to the Board in January 2001. The committee's report provides criteria for the construction or alteration of public rights-of-way that reflects the broad spectrum of expertise represented by committee members. The report follows a "toolbox" approach to the establishment of guidelines designed to facilitate implementation and to promote an understanding of the needs of all users of public rights-of-ways. The report comprehensively covers the various components of public streets and sidewalks and provides criteria for sidewalks, street fixtures and furnishings, street crossings, vehicular ways, parking, and other components of public rights-of-way. In addition, the report includes advisory notes, figures, and discussion of issues that merit further study or special attention in the Board's rulemaking.
June 17, 2002 Release of Draft Guidelines
An ad hoc group of Board members reviewed the committee's report in depth and crafted a set of draft guidelines based on the committee's recommendations. Because the draft guidelines departed from the advisory committee's report in several areas, the Board made an advance draft of the guidelines available for comment by the public. The notice of availability of the draft guidelines was published in the Federal Register on June 17, 2002. The Board requested information and feedback on the draft guidelines, including usability and cost data. In addition to seeking written comment, the Board held a public hearing in Portland, Oregon.
Over 1,400 comments were received from the public in response to the publication of the draft. Of this total, almost 900 comments were tabulated from persons with disabilities and groups representing them; the great preponderance of comments in this category came from people who indicated that they were blind or had low vision. Slightly over 200 comments were submitted by respondents from the transportation industry: design engineers and consultants, State and local government departments of transportation, and the organizations and groups that represent them. Another 100 were received from State and local government administrative agencies.
Almost all of the commenters from the two major blindness organizations, the American Council of the Blind (ACB) and the National Federation of the Blind (NFB), and persons who were not affiliated with either organization addressed only the use of detectable warnings and/or accessible pedestrian signals (APS) and virtually all of them supported the requirement for these features in at least some locations (detectable warnings at islands and medians and at all low-slope sidewalk connections to the street; APS at complex intersections, irregular intersections, intersections with compound turning movements, and intersections with leading pedestrian intervals). Some commenters misunderstood the effect of the scoping provisions for these features, believing that all intersections would have to be retrofitted at tremendous cost. In fact, only future new projects would be subject to these guidelines. With respect to APS in particular, only pedestrian crossings that provide pedestrian signals would be required to include APS. Some commenters, expressing concerns about the noise output of APS, were apparently unfamiliar with the quiet, pedbutton-integrated devices now available in the United States (these devices are installed at the departure curb, near the listening user, rather than overhead).
Ten key issues from comment were identified for detailed analysis: crosswalk width; on-street parking; walking speed and pedestrian signal phase timing; elevators at pedestrian overpasses and underpasses; same-side alternate circulation routes; cross slope in crosswalks; detectable warnings; accessible pedestrian signals; roundabouts and roundabout signalization; and alterations. These issues have been addressed in this second draft. Changes include the following:
- referenced Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for crosswalk width;
- reduced scoping in on-street parking to be consistent with parking lots;
- set walking speed at 3.5 fps (consistent with new recommendations currently under consideration by the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices);
- eliminated the provision requiring elevators to provide pedestrian access at overpasses and underpasses (either ramps, lifts, or elevators may be used);
- modified scoping and technical provisions for alternate circulation routes to be consistent with current MUTCD requirements and alterations requirements, which would permit opposite side routes if same-side routes are not feasible;
- provided relief (up to 5%) for maximum cross slope limits in pedestrian crosswalks at midblock and through-street locations where the roadway slope will necessarily exceed 2%;
- clarified the placement of detectable warnings on curb ramps, landings, and blended transitions;
- clarified the scoping in new construction and alterations of accessible pedestrian signals (APS);
- limited pedestrian signalization at roundabouts and channelized turn lanes to pedestrian crossings (to the splitter) of two lanes of traffic or more; and
- clarified the scope of alterations to include only that work included in the limits, boundaries, or scope of a planned project; clarified that there is no obligation in the guidelines to expand the scope or limits of a project to include other or adjacent work.
Other changes included the addition of significant advisory material throughout the document. Advisory notes are for informational purposes only.
The Board also considered industry recommendations that the guidelines be re-formatted to use transportation metrics and language and to be better coordinated with industry standards and documents, particularly the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
This draft is now formatted as a stand-alone document that expresses its dimensioning requirements first in international units, as is done in other industry documents. Its provisions have been harmonized with current MUTCD standards, support, options, and guidance. Industry terms and phrases have been adopted, and industry practices recognized where feasible.
The Board is placing the revised draft in the docket to facilitate the gathering of cost data necessary for the next step in this rulemaking which is the preparation of a regulatory assessment for government review and approval prior to issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). In order to develop an accurate picture of the potential costs and benefits of this rulemaking, the Board must work closely with the transportation industry representatives who have data on both current cost and industry practices and the knowledge and skills to assess potential effects.
The Board is not seeking comments on this draft. Readers will have an opportunity to provide input when the NPRM is published. Additional figures will be included in the NPRM.
Rulemaking Process
The Board reviewed the comments received to the draft guidelines and revised the guidelines in accordance with the comments received. The revisions are briefly discussed below in the section-by-section analysis.
The proposed rule will provide another opportunity for public comment on the guidelines. The Board will then proceed to finalize the guidelines based on public comments received in response to the proposed rule. The Board's guidelines serve as the basis for enforceable standards maintained by other agencies under the ADA and the ABA. The Department of Justice and the Department of Transportation maintain standards based on the Board's guidelines that apply to facilities covered by the ADA. Design standards for federally funded facilities covered by the ABA are maintained by the Department of Defense, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the General Services Administration, and the U.S. Postal Service. These enforceable standards must be consistent with the Board's guidelines.
Relationship to ADA and ABA Accessibility Guidelines
Relationship to ADA and ABA Accessibility Guidelines/Format
On July 23, 2004, the Board completed an update of ADAAG, the first comprehensive revision of the document since its publication in 1991. The revised ADAAG features a new format and numbering system and a host of updated scoping and technical provisions. On the same date, the Board updated its ABA Accessibility Guidelines along similar lines so that both of the documents are more consistent. The revised ADA and ABA Accessibility Guidelines may be found on the Board's website at www.access-board.gov/ada-aba/index.htm.
The draft guidelines for public rights-of-way published on June 17, 2002 were formatted to supplement the ADA and ABA guidelines and not as a stand-alone document. The guidelines were intended to ultimately comprise a new chapter on public rights-of-way. The current draft guidelines made available in this document are now formatted as a stand-alone document using transportation industry standards, terms, and measures in response to recommendations in industry comments. The document is identified by the prefix R in its provisions and has four chapters:
Chapter R1: Application and Administration covers purpose, effect on existing facilities, equivalent facilitation, conventions, figures, units of measurement, referenced documents, and definitions, harmonized with transportation industry usage.
Chapter R2: Scoping Requirements address what items of new construction and alteration are covered by this document and references technical sections that follow in Chapters R3 and R4. Key scoping provisions in R2 include: R204 Pedestrian Access Route; R205 Alternate Pedestrian Access Route; R206 Pedestrian Crossings; R207 Curb Ramps and Blended Transitions; R208 Accessible Pedestrian Signals; R209 Protruding Objects; R210 Pedestrian Signs; R211 Street Furniture; R212 Bus Stops; R213 Stairways; R214 Handrails; R215 Vertical Access; R216 On-street Parking; R217 Passenger Loading Zones; R218 Call Boxes; R219 Transit Platforms; R220 Escalators; R221 Detectable Warning Surfaces; and R222 Doors, Doorways, and Gates.
Coverage extends to temporary as well as permanent facilities. Chapter R2 also includes special provisions for historic facilities and contains a limited series of general exemptions from accessibility.
Chapter R3: Technical Provisions contains detailed specifications for new construction and alterations scoping in Chapter R2. Construction detailed in Chapter R3 is specific to public sidewalk, street crossing, and roadway projects, and covers the building blocks of pedestrian accessibility: the pedestrian access route (analogous to the accessible route on a site), curb ramps and blended transitions, pedestrian crossings (including those at roundabouts and channelized turn lanes), pedestrian signals, street furniture, and parking.
Chapter R4: Supplementary Technical Provisions include specifications adapted from the ADA and ABA Accessibility Guidelines (2004) for rights-of-way application, including such features as maneuvering clearances at doorways; drinking fountain, and telephone provisions; reach ranges; operable parts; handrails; and other items of broader application.

The Central Connecticut baseball season came to an end on Saturday afternoon with a 2-0 loss to Sacred Heart in a Northeast Conference Tournament elimination game at Dodd Stadium in Norwich, CT. The Blue Devils had beaten the Pioneers on Thursday, but then dropped games to Bryant on Friday and then SHU on Saturday to be eliminated from the tournament.
With the loss Central finishes the season 27-22 overall. SHU is now 29-27 and moves on to play Bryant in the second game of the day on Saturday.
Freshman right hander Matt Blandino was solid on the mount for the Blue Devils. He pitched all eight innings allowing just six hits and two earned runs, both coming in the eighth inning. He struck out two and walked one.
Central had several chances to score in the game. The Blue Devils loaded the bases in the top of the third inning but Sacred Heart starter Nick Morrissey got out of it unscathed. SHU catcher Derick Horn picked off a runner at third base and then a fly out from Central freshman Franklin Jennings ended the threat.
Central stranded a runner at third in the top of the fourth inning. Senior Anthony Turgeon singled and went to second on the 10th sacrifice bunt of the season from classmate Josh Ingham. He went to third on a wild pitch but two straight strikeouts ended the inning.
In the fifth inning Central put the first two runners on base but then hit into a doubleplay followed by the sixth strikeout of the game from Morrissey.
The Pioneers scored the game's only runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. Keith Klebart led off the inning with a double and went to third on a sacrifice. He scored on an RBI double from Kenny Byram off of Blandino. SHU's Zack Short's RBI single made it 2-0.
The Blue Devils end the season with a 27-22 overall record. SHU will face Bryant and will need to win twice to claim the NEC title.

Isaac Mizrahi had a new apprentice for a little while last week — Forest Whitaker. Whitaker was shaping up his part as a designer in "Pret-a-Porter" and soaking up what it means to be Le Miz. "He was so earnest," recalled Mizrahi, "but he looked sort of bewildered half the time, especially during a meeting we were having about buttons. I kept wanting to tell him we weren't putting him on, this is really what we do all day." Whitaker also watched several fittings. "When he left, he thanked me and said it had been incredibly helpful," said Mizrahi. "but I didn't do that much." Whitaker had spent time at a trade show with Todd Oldham the week before.
Sarah Jessica Parker is making Flowers on New York's West 17th Street her second home. She had dinner there last week with David Letterman producer Robert Morton, came back with friends Saturday night, then scheduled boyfriend Matthew Broderick's birthday party there for mid-March.
Martin Scorsese and Ismail Merchant are teaming up on a new project: a launch party for Lancaster's new fragrance, Casmir. The two filmmakers will host the event on March 28 at Saks Fifth Avenue's New York flagship, where Merchant's own Indian recipes will be prepared and served by Glorious Food. Why the film connection? Lancaster thinks it will help bring a younger customer to Casmir and made a contribution to the Merchant Ivory Foundation. Merchant even penned an eight-page advertorial for Casmir in Bon Appetit — saying the exotic notes trigger memories of his youth in India.

Miranda Andersen may only be 14 years old, but when she speaks, adults tend to listen. The Grade 9 student from Belcarra is an award-winning filmmaker, a former presenter at TEDxKids, and a national winner of the 2013 Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heros. Oh, and she wrote, directed, filmed and edited each of her ten movies.
Vancouver Sun reporter Matthew Robinson recently caught up with Andersen after school to chat about her roots, her latest project, and why we all need to get outside a little more.
Q How did you get interested in filmmaking?
A Well, I was nine and had to do an assignment for school about a hero. I chose Ruth Foster, who works at a local salmon hatchery called Mossom Creek. So I did a film on her and the hatchery called My Hero Ruth Foster and that sort of opened doors for everything else. I didn't think I had any talent in filmmaking until I won first place in the My Hero film festival for that video. Then I kept finding other heroes and won that prize another few times. But Ruth Foster is still my mentor.
Q You have made 10 videos in all. What are some of the environmental issues you've taken on?
A My dad was at a business meeting one day and he heard of this woman, Mary Hagedorn, who cryogenically preserves coral so when it goes extinct — and there are huge risks of extinction for coral — she might be able to bring it back in the future. I thought it was just amazing, so I travelled to Hawaii and interviewed her for my second film, Help Mary Save Coral. I also did one called Toxic Technology about how to recycle electronic waste properly. It is often just shipped off to Third World countries where it is broken down and pollutes those environments.
Q It seems like many of your films are about people who inspire you — who else should we know about?
A A few years ago I found out about a woman who had gone a year without plastic packaging. I was so shocked that someone could even do that. She told me about a plastic island in the middle of the pacific ocean called the great pacific garbage patch that's killing sea creatures. Plastic. an never actually go away — it just keeps breaking up into something smaller and smaller. I made my film ForeverPlastic about that. I also did one called Blue Trees about a man who paints trees with non-toxic paint to raise knowledge about deforestation.
Q What is your latest project?
A I've been working on something called nature deficit disorder. My mentor Ruth Foster passed me a book by Richard Louv, the man that created the phrase, and I really wanted to get that idea out there. TEDxKids wanted me to do a talk about it, so I did and then used my narration and made a film with it called The Child in Nature.
Q Explain nature deficit disorder.
A It refers to how adults and kids aren't getting out into nature enough and aren't feeling a connection to it. If you don't get out into nature then you don't care about it or you don't know about it enough to do something about environmental issues.
Q If you could give people your age a letter grade on how much they get outside what would you give them?
A I guess a C. But as you get older, then there's more homework. Kids aren't as willing to go outside and play in the backyard.
Q How about parents?
A A C minus. Everybody's always working and at the end of the day you come home and watch a few episodes of TV and then you go to bed. People think that it's just kids that aren't getting outside but really its adults as well. When they hear that they should get their kids outside more, they realize wow, they're not getting outside either.
Q How do you get outside so much while going to school?
A I even just like to go sit outside and do homework or things like that and I feel so much better than when everything's go go go inside and you don't get to stop and take a breather. It's calming.
Q Are people reluctant to listen to, or learn from, a 14-year-old?
A I think adults really listen to what kids have to say more than they listen to other adults. But I think if I'm talking to an adult, sometimes they've assumed that I'm in university or something. I don't even look that old. I think when something happens like someone makes a film and wins an award for it, adults start to pay attention.
Q What's your next project?
A For a while I was really stuck on that. My next film is on eating local. For example, we produce apples here in B.C. But people actually choose to have apples from New Zealand and that sort of thing. I think it's really insane.
Q Do you always eat local?
A I have an addiction to farmers markets. Wherever we travel somewhere I go online and search for the markets in that area. My brother gets super annoyed because we always have to take these crazy detours to get to them. This is just a little thing that people can do, and they usually really enjoy it — local food tastes so much better.

It's OK if you don't like beets. There's a dish for every taste on the Catholic table.
Jesus must have enjoyed eating. If his opponents called him "a glutton and a drunkard," we can only guess that he loved a good dinner party. The scandal he caused, however, had less to do with what he ate than with whom: "tax collectors and sinners."
The issue of who is welcome at the Christian table never really went away. The New Testament tells a story of a progressively larger table that came to include Roman soldiers, influential women, Gentiles rich and poor. But the question of who got a seat, based on both belief and behavior, was never without controversy.
Paul ruled out a long list in his Letter to the Romans. The North African theologian Tertullian and other ancient sources said no soldiers, and most early bishops had their lists of excommunicated heretics. In our own day political and moral questions create the boundaries, with authorities of varying degrees—from bishops to bloggers—holding forth.
Those with no recognized authority—most of the baptized—rarely get a sounding about what it takes to get a reservation, but we can thank Chicago priest and sociologist Andrew Greeley for one attempt, in his home archdiocese of Chicago. "What must one believe and do to be a good Catholic?" he asked this church in the heart of America. The answers, published in October, were a bit surprising.
Tied for first on the list of "very important" components of a Catholic identity came belief in Jesus' resurrection and in the presence of God in the sacraments (81 percent of those interviewed), with faith in the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, concern for the poor, and devotion to Mary tied for second (75 percent). Daily prayer, social justice, and angels and saints each cleared the 50-percent mark with 63, but weekly Mass attendance (46 percent), acceptance of papal infallibility (34 percent), regular confession (30 percent), and support for priestly celibacy (24 percent) sank to the bottom.
Catholics of left and right would find much to criticize in Greeley's respondents when it comes to details. When asked what makes a "good Catholic," 54 percent agreed that one should be married in the church, but less than 40 percent agreed that accepting the church's teaching on abortion, divorce, gay marriage, and birth control were necessary. The church's social doctrine fared no better: Less than 50 percent of respondents said church teaching on war and peace or the death penalty were mandatory. While 75 percent agreed that a "good Catholic" gives money to the poor, a mere 24 percent lined up with the church on immigration.
Even if they don't buy everything their leaders preach, Chicago Catholics still hold them in high esteem. In the 2007 interviews Pope Benedict XVI garnered an 85 percent approval rating, Chicago's Cardinal Francis George won 86 percent, and 9 out of 10 surveyed approved of their pastor.
What to make of these numbers? Greeley describes his fellow Chicagoans as "smorgasbord" (not "cafeteria") Catholics, who find a "rich and diverse collection of ways to affirm their Catholicism." Rather than lamenting the lack of comprehensive uniformity, he asks in all seriousness: "Who can fault an identity that includes the poor, the sacraments, the resurrection, the Eucharist, and Mary?" Indeed.
Catholics of all stripes may wish for greater agreement on the specifics of the faith, but Catholicism is simply too large a doctrinal, cultural, and sheer numerical reality to expect universal assent on all matters. That Chicago Catholics show as much agreement as they do is a miracle in itself.
Given the many bases to cover—whether moral issues or regular Mass attendance—isn't it a good thing that Catholics have in effect divvied up the work? I for one am glad that there are Catholics out on the front lines battling abortion and homelessness and racism, while in my work as an editor I help tell their stories in ways that keep us all connected. And while the rosary may not suit my spiritual taste, I am delighted that many in the parish on my block take second and third helpings of devotion to the Blessed Mother.
I suppose some would prefer a prix fixe Catholic menu of carefully chosen appetizers and entrees instead of the smorgasbord Greeley's research uncovered. But Catholicism has arguably always been more of a potluck than a carefully orchestrated dinner party. There are indeed main courses from which we all fill our plates, but with a table this large, we're bound to favor some recipes over others.

Staffing Company Unlawfully Fired Employee Who Reported Sexual Harassment, Federal Agency Charged
ATLANTA - Jiudicy, Inc., doing business as Labor Finders, one of the country's largest industrial labor staffing companies, will pay $150,000 to settle a retaliation lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
According to the EEOC's suit, Jiudicy unlawfully terminated a female office administrator in retaliation for reporting sexual harassment. The employee worked at Juidicy's Cumming, Ga., location and reported that she received sexually harassing phone calls from her supervisor. The company conducted an internal investigation into her complaint. Three days after the complaint, the company fired her, citing six separate reasons for the termination. Jiudicy then had her escorted off the premises by police officers.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, which prohibits retaliation for opposing discriminatory conduct. The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. Jiudicy, Inc., d/b/a Labor Finders., Case No. 2:09-cv-00163) in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Gainesville Division, after first attempting a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
In addition to the monetary relief, the two-year consent decree settling the suit includes provisions for equal employment opportunity training, reporting and posting of anti-discrimination notices. Jiudicy denied any liability or wrongdoing.
"Employees have a federally-protected and unqualified right to report unlawful discrimination," said Robert Dawkins, regional attorney for the EEOC's Atlanta District Office. "The anti-retaliation provisions of Title VII were specifically enacted to prevent the type of conduct that the EEOC alleges occurred in this case."
The EEOC's Atlanta District Office enforces the federal discrimination employment laws in Georgia and parts of South Carolina.
Eliminating policies and practices that discourage or prohibit individuals from exercising their rights under employment discrimination statutes, or that impede the EEOC's investigative or enforcement efforts, is one of six national priorities identified by the Commission's Strategic Enforcement Plan (SEP).
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

Abstract and Keywords
University students, faculty, and staff are among those most vulnerable to cybersecurity risks due to their reliance on modern technologies, the nature of their online activities, and the open infrastructure of institutional networks. Furthermore, cyberbullying has emerged as a public health concern by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which first warned of electronic aggression in 2008, or any type of harassment or bullying that occurs via email, chat, instant messaging, websites, blogs, or text messaging. Roberto and Eden emphasized the communicative nature of cyberbullying, defining it as the "deliberate and repeated misuse of communication technology by an individual or group to threaten or harm others" in 2010 (p. 201). In response to serious cybersecurity concerns and growing evidence of cyberbullying behavior, the national Stop.Think.Connect. (STC) campaign was developed to educate Americans on cybersecurity risks and equip citizens with tools for safe, respectful, and appropriate online behavior; however, it lacks targeted messaging for those on university campuses. Formative research is needed to ascertain the specific cybersecurity risks and challenges identified by those living and working on large university campuses. Research by Noar in 2006 demonstrates that formative evaluation leads to more successful campaigns. The process involves learning about target populations, discovering communicative determinants of behavior change, and testing message concepts. To that end, this case study is a first step in targeting STC campaign messages to university students, faculty, and staff. Specifically, we sought to identify the distinct cybersecurity needs faced by university students and personnel, their perceptions of the saliency of the problem, and potential motives for increasing their cybersecurity-enhancing behaviors. These activities are needed to implement the campaign on college campuses and to increase the likelihood of any future outcome evaluation efforts that yield evidence of campaign effectiveness. Currently, we are unaware of any outcome evaluation.
Focus group methodology was conducted to examine the target audiences' knowledge, interests, needs, and attitudes regarding the management of cybersecurity threats. Additionally, practical recommendations for enhancing STC campaign implementation on university campuses were ascertained. Results emphasized key ways to improve the theoretical underpinnings of the campaign using the Integrated Behavioral Model (IBM). We identified how determinants of behavior change can be utilized to strengthen campaign messaging. Students displayed laissez-faire attitudes toward cybersecurity, while faculty and staff attitudes demonstrated a much higher level of concern. Social norms for personal cybersecurity action taking were notably low among students as well as faculty and staff. Students displayed limited personal agency in regards to enacting cybersecurity measures, while faculty and staff had greater knowledge of steps they could take, but little faith that these actions would be efficacious. Finally, thematic recommendations for implementing an effective cybersecurity campaign on a university campus were identified.

Code: Select all
sudo apt update
sudo apt install qt5-default
The simple solution is usually so simple that no one really needs to write a long guide for it, you install Qt5 the same way you install all other software.
No, Qt does not use gtk, it has its own gui libraries. But in some cases it uses native dialog, such as it can open gtk dialog on a raspbian system.
In gtk and qt are almost same in case of speed and resource usage.
Thanks! More opinions ?ksharindam wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 7:30 pm
QT has a GUI designer which allows you to drag and drop widgets into a virtual Window (also known as a Form). You can convert the UI file to a Python script, allowing you to integrate the window into your Python programs.ksharindam wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 4:12 pmIf you are choosing a Gui library, Qt will be great.
For a beginner , gtk is easier to learn than qt.
But after you learn how to implement signal and slots, and subclass a QObject, everything will be easier with qt.
When i started to learn gtk, i tried to create a simple drawing app, and failed to draw over a pixmap using cairo.
But then i switched to qt, and everything became easier with QPainter.
Also, there are some convenient classes, which helps a lot.
Till now, i have made a browser, a pdf viewer, a paint app, a printing app, raspberry pi configuration editor, calculator, markdown editor, image files to pdf converter using either c++ qt or PyQt.
Hello, I have found this thread and did the install as suggested. What surprised me that it does not show up in the GUI menu under Programming or anywhere else.fruitoftheloom wrote: ↑Sun Dec 09, 2018 10:33 am

To be precise, Qt is just a library used by other applications or used by developers. So it doesnt really come with anything you can "start" from a menu.AdamStanislav wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 2:02 amSo, how do I start it? And how do I add it to the menu?

Thank you very much. I have just started installing it and it is installing the full package, which is precisely what I was looking for. So, just for anyone else who might be interested in installing the whole thing, I just typed
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install qtcreator
Code: Select all
$ cd myProject
$ qmake -o Makefile myProject.pro
$ make
This is a bit strange. I use every day qtcreator on my Raspberry 3B (not plus) and it works very well.AdamStanislav wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 6:33 pmWell, I got it installed, sadly my RPi 3B+ is not powerful enough for it.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President-elect Barack Obama will invoke God when he takes the oath of office January 20, despite a lawsuit filed by atheist and non-religious groups, according to an attorney for Chief Justice John Roberts, who will administer the oath.
President-elect Barack Obama has asked to invoke the phrase "so help me God" at the end of his oath.
The groups have sued in federal court to block any mention of God during the inaugural ceremonies. Roberts was among those named in the suit.
However, Obama wishes to conclude the oath with the phrase "so help me God," Jeffrey Minear, an attorney and administrative assistant for Roberts, told a federal court in documents Friday.
The Constitution mandates the exact language to be used in the 35-word oath of office: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Some chief executives have embellished the oath with "so help me God." It is not constitutionally required, unlike in other federal oaths.
Historians have been at odds over whether George Washington established precedent by invoking the phrase on his own at the first inaugural in 1789. The Library of Congress Web site says he did. Most presidents have used the phrase. iReport.com: Your photos from the inauguration
Inaugural officials and presidents or presidents-elect usually coordinate behind the scenes on whether the judge or government official administering the phrase will invoke it.
Michael Newdow, supported by several groups including the American Humanist Association, claims in his lawsuit that "so help me God" violates the constitutional ban on government "endorsement" of religion. He asked a federal judge to intervene and block references of God or religion in the formal ceremonies.
The lawsuit also opposes the traditional invocation and benediction to be delivered by pastors invited by Obama.
"There can be no purpose for placing 'so help me God' in an oath or sponsoring prayers to God, other than promoting the particular point of view that God exists," according to the lawsuit.
The federal government revealed in its response that Obama wants to use the phrase. The declaration was apparently aimed at blunting Newdow's concession that Obama could add the phrase on his own but that Roberts or any government official should not force or prompt him to say it.
Among those named in the lawsuit besides the 53-year-old chief justice are the Presidential Inauguration Committee; the Joint Congressional Committee on Inauguration Ceremonies and its chairwoman, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California); and the Armed Forces Inaugural Committee and its commander, Maj. Gen. Richard Rowe Jr.
Newdow said December 31 that he did not name Obama in his suit because in addition to participating as a government official in the ceremony, Obama possesses rights as an individual that allow him to express religious beliefs.
"If he chooses to ask for God's help, I'm not going to challenge him," Newdow said. "I think it's unwise."
A decision from the federal judge is expected in the next few days.
The high court ruled against Newdow in 2004 after he tried to block the Pledge of Allegiance from being recited at his daughter's Sacramento, California-area public school because it contains the phrase "under God."
He argued the case himself before the justices, making an impassioned plea that the teacher-led pledge forces religion on impressionable youngsters and carries the stamp of government approval.

Gardens are per definition ARTificial; even if the gardener strives to let the garden look as natural as possible. We at The Green Cathedral of South Africa are very much aware of this and it is also one of the reasons we go beyond the general perception of a garden. Part of it is Art in the Garden. And it is easy to buy statues and other mass produced ornaments at the garden center. We rather challenge talented people to make something unique and preferable with material from the land or recycable material. An example of the last is the wooden cactus of 4 metres high made by local woodworker Marthinus Plaatjies from restpieces wood.
Recently land art artist Jody Joyner from Tucson, AZ, USA created is giant nest out of hibiscus twigs and a few years ago our own staff created the earthwork Mama Africa (we expect Mama Africa fully covered with succulent groundcovers within 1 year from now.
Here some pictures:

Hey anyone who's reading this... The names Craig and I'm currently in THE school for animators, Animation Mentor! Best thing I did to get on my way to a great career. I reside in Adealide, Australia but study this program via the internet, works very well ^_^ I'm an ok all rounder for most things in 3D/2D but my passion is animation. It's just something that stuck with me and I really enjoy doing it and making the models come to life through the animations. It's one thing to have great looking models, but if they don't move right, then the effect or appeal has been lost. I've finished up on the mod called Mentality created in the Source engine. I was the lead animator but I'll also be doing the rigging and exporting of the characters as well... Cheers for reading, hopefully I'll put up some content for people to view soon.

OK, so he may not have physically been there, but Avery's presence was felt all the same.
The Rangers, thanks to the ongoing renovation at the Garden, played their first home game this past Thursday. They lost to Toronto 4-2. The fanbase's discontent was palpable and before the game they sent a message with the sign you see here. It also says "Send Torts To The Whale."
In the waning moments of the game, fans began to serenade the home team with a "We Want Avery" chant. I'm sure they also gave Denis Potvin his due.
After the game, King Henrik was asked his thoughts on the notorious instigator and said although "Aves is one of a kind" the front office thinks "this is the best team."
Things got a little interesting this morning, though, when Boomer Esiason, a big time Ranger fan, tweeted that a "little birdie" told him Avery was coming back into the fold. Now, Esiason isn't exactly the Adam Schefter of the NHL, so we won't be running down to the Salvation Army to buy our Avery jerseys back just yet. You have to give it to him though, Sean Avery is nothing if not entertaining.

"The Transcendent Dimensions of Study and Teaching": The Pope on the Purpose of Education | Fr. James V. Schall, S.J. | Ignatius Insight | September 21, 2010
Print-friendly version
"This transcendent dimension of study and teaching was clearly grasped by the monks who contributed so much to the evangelization of these islands.... It was the monks' dedication to learning as the path on which to encounter the Incarnate Word of God that was to lay the foundations of our Western culture and civilization." —
Benedict XVI
, Address to the World of Catholic Education, St. Mary's University College.
"It is not often that a Pope ... has the opportunity to speak to the students of all the Catholic schools of England, Wales and Scotland at the same time. And since I have the chance now, there is something I very much want to say to you. I hope that among those of you listening to me today there are some of the future saints of the twenty-first century. What God wants most of all for each one of you is that you should become holy." —
Benedict XVI
, Address to Pupils at St. Mary's University College.
In his English visit, the Holy Father
gave two brief talks to English teachers and students
. He was at St. Mary's University College at Twickenham. The first talk was to the faculty. "The task of a teacher is not simply to impart information or to provide training in skills intended to deliver some economic benefit to society; education is not and must never be considered as purely utilitarian." Right away, Benedict associates himself with the great tradition of a "liberal," that is, "freeing" education. The important things are worth knowing for their own sakes, not simply because they are useful, even though they may be useful.
Education looks to the "whole person." It is about "wisdom." Wisdom, moreover, is "inseparable from knowledge of the Creator." Wisdom is about how all things fit together in their causes and relationships. Benedict makes this affirmation about the Creator in a nation in which leading scientists make headlines by claiming that they can explain everything without God. They cannot, of course. They inevitably end up with some variant of something coming from nothing. They think that because they can understand scientific and mathematical formulae, they do not need to explain how these formulae came to be or to be embedded in this cosmos prior to their knowing them.
Benedict recalls the great monastic tradition in English history, which includes Westminster Abbey itself. "It was only natural that the monastery should have a library and a school." One might add that libraries and schools were "natural" in a religion that searched for the reason of things, including divine things insofar as it could comprehend the ways and nature of God. In a remarkable sentence, the Pope adds: "It was the monks' dedication to learning as the path on which to encounter the Incarnate Word of God that was to lay the foundation of our Western culture and civilization." Along the path of learning we encounter words. We see that they refer to things that we identify. The
what things are
have their origins in word. This thing is called
, that thing is called
. What things are refers to a beginning Word in which all things are made.
Benedict acknowledges the missionary work of many religious orders. "Religious have a unique contribution to offer to this apostolate above all through lives consecrated to God and through faithful, loving witness to Christ, the supreme Teacher." Obviously, those who do not know need to be taught. God in His providence passes on to us what He has revealed of Himself through teaching, not by coercion or an ever-changing new revelation.
"The content of teaching should always be in conformity with Church doctrine." This conformity is stressed as a criterion and guarantee of truth. This is orthodoxy. "The life of faith needs to be the driving force behind every activity in the school, so that the Church's mission may be served effectively, and the young people may discover the joy of entering into Christ's 'being for others.'" We are persons who relate to others in our very being. We do this though truth and service.
In his talk to students, the Pope, rather strikingly, simply tells them that they should be "holy." Imagine that! We presume that these English students do not scratch their heads and ask themselves "What does it mean to be holy?" The pope does not talk of justice or of learning, but of holiness. The pope tells the students that God loves them, more than they could ever imagine. But the pope admits: "Perhaps some of you have never thought about this before." We can well imagine.
The pope explains what he means. All have had people they look up to: sports figures, entertainers, and so forth. "What are the qualities in others that you would most like to have yourselves? What kind of person would you really like to be?" The pope tells them not to be content with "second best." Many things are good, including having money, having a profession. Such things may make us famous but do they make us happy? Happiness is something we all want, but one of the great tragedies in this world is that so many people never find it." Why do they not find it? "Because they look for it in the wrong places. They key to it is very simple—true happiness is to be found in God."
It takes "courage" to place our hope in God above all others. Again, Benedict calls on everyday experience. We want our friends to reciprocate our interest in them. "God wants your friendship." But we have to control our habits that can prevent us from responding to Him. We need to become concerned with those who need us. "All the work you do is placed in the context of the growing friendship with God, and all that flows from that friendship."
Things fit together. "Always remember that every subject you study is part of a bigger picture. Never allow yourselves to become narrow. The world needs good scientists, but a scientific outlook becomes dangerously narrow if it ignores the religious or ethical dimension of life, just as religion becomes narrow if it rejects the legitimate contribution of science to our understanding of the world." A school should provide a rounded education and a Catholic school should "help all students become saints."
While sundry English protesters sought to identify the pope with every aberration known to man, the pope simply told students to become saints. There is a transcendent dimension to our lives. Learning leads to words, to their meaning. Words lead to the Word, their origin in the heart of the Godhead, the meaning of things. The foundation of our civilization is found in the learning that knows that man did not bring himself out of nothing. It lies in the wisdom that knows we are created in the Word.
We are images and likenesses of God. God is holy. We are simply asked, even in England, to be what we already are created to be.

I don't envy the daunting job that lies ahead for Volvo head of design Thomas Ingenlath. The Swedish brand posted a loss of close to $90 million in the first half of 2013, and while they're back in the black thanks to cost-cutting measures and growth in China, they still have an uphill battle to find firm footing in the increasingly-crowded luxury segment.
I sat down with Ingenlath this week in Detroit to talk design and the future of Volvo. He recalled one woman from California interviewed during a design survey who told it like it is:
"'The light in Scandinavia is beautiful,' she said. 'The beautiful people, the food and flavors are so wonderful. And none of that comes through in your brand. None of it. It's absolutely vanilla.'"
How will Ingenlath shed the Volvo vanilla? Read the full story over on Road & Track.

(Bulk: 1912-1936)
Mason, John Alden, 1885-1967
Extent: 1.4 linear feet (the collection is contained in 20 folders housed in four archival boxes with oversized plates placed in drawer 47-49 of the map case. the first box contains ten folders from expedition i and iii. box two has the remaining folders from expedition iii, and all of expedition iv, the 1951 northern tepehuan linguistic expedition, and the expedition v materials. photographs from expedition ii are contained in 21 folders in boxes three and four. )
The J.Alden Mason Linguistic Expeditions to Mexico consist of six trips to study the languages of the Northern and Southern Tepehuan Indians of the region around Durango and the Nevome of the lower Pima Bajo area. From 1912 to 1954, Mason gathered information on the languages, ceremonial activities, prayers, and botany of the Piman tribes of northern and southern Mexico. Mason took numerous photographs and his second expedition, financed by Percy C. Madeira who accompanied Mason, consisted entirely of aerial photographs of the area. The 1936 Durango Expedition with Robert M. Merrill produced photographs, plates and objects from archaeological sites like Chalchihuites and Zape in the Durango region. The photographs and plates were reproduced in a 1937 article, "Late Archaeological Sites in Durango Mexico." During this trip, Mason shot unedited film showing the indigenous people and the countryside around Durango. Two additional expeditions in 1951 and 1954 resulted in reports of the Northern Tepehuan and Nevome languages and cultures.

Marc Vetri's Mortadella Pizza
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Rustic Italian Food to give away this week.
You have to love the fact that Marc Vetri included not one but two pizza dough recipes in Rustic Italian Food: a thinner Roman crust and a slightly thicker, puffier Neapolitan. This devotion to authentic, very Italian pizza is what makes these dough recipes invaluable for home pizza-making.
This Mortadella Pizza begins with the Napoletana dough, which in turn begins with a starter. Using a starter instead of just yeast adds a depth of flavor and contributes to the dough's wonderfully stretchy, pliant qualities.
Once you've got your dough ready to go, it's time to top it. The heftier Napoletana dough can stand up to weightier toppings but we chose to top ours with thin slices of pistachio-studded mortadella, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Slid into the oven and baked until puffy and charred, the pizza is finished with a drizzle of olive oil blended with pistachios. The key here is not to load up your pie—the flavors in play are delicate and you wouldn't want that great dough to get overwhelmed.
Why you should make this: The dough is really remarkable. It has a smoothness and workability that makes it a pleasure to stretch and even more pleasing to eat.
Next time we might think about: With dough this good, next time we're making a double batch and will freeze the other half to defrost whenever a pizza craving strikes.

- Yield:Makes one 12-inch pizza and dough for four or five 12-inch-diameter rounds
- Active time: 1 hour
- Total time:1 hour plus overnight rise for the dough
- 1 round Napoletana Pizza Dough (recipe follows)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup cubed fresh mozzarella
- 2 ounces thinly sliced mortadella
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Napoletana Pizza Dough
- 4 cups (500 g) high-protein flour, such as King Arthur Sir Galahad or Unbleached All-Purpose
- 2 1/8 cups (500 g) Biga Starter (recipe follows)
- 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons (200 g) cold water
- 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) packed fresh cake yeast, or 1/8 teaspoon (0.5 g) instant yeast
- 2 1/2 teaspoons (15 g) fine sea salt
- Biga Starter
- 4 cups (500 g) high-protein flour, such as King Arthur Sir Galahad or Unbleached All-Purpose
- 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) packed fresh cake yeast, or 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) instant yeast
- 21/4 cups (500 g) warm water (100 to 110ºF)
For the Biga Starter: Choose a large bowl that's about five times the volume of the ingredients. Mix the flour, yeast, and water in the bowl until well combined. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 12 hours, or until almost tripled in volume. Now, it's ready to use. (Keep the timing in mind. If you plan to bake bread in the morning, get the starter going early the night before.)
When making bread daily, store the starter at room temperature and feed three times a day. If baking less frequently, store it in the refrigerator and feed every other week. To feed the starter, scoop out 2 cups (bake with it, give it away, or trash it) and replace it with 2 cups high-protein flour and 2 cups warm water (100 to 110ºF), stirring until blended. Most of the bread recipes in this book call for 1 to 2 cups of starter, so you can use that amount to bake with, then replace it with a 50-50 mix of flour and water.
For the Napoletana Pizza Dough: Put the flour, starter, and water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Crumble in the yeast.Using the dough hook, mix on low speed until everything is moist, about 4 minutes, scraping the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and mix until the dough clings to the dough hook, about 3 minutes more. Add the salt and mix until the dough is very soft and stretchy, another 3 minutes.
Put the dough in an oiled bowl, turning to coat it with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm spot (90ºF) until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Cut the dough into 4 or 5 equal pieces and roll into balls (about the size of a small cantaloupe) on an unfloured board. Put the balls in an airtight container, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
To roll out each ball of dough, remove the dough from the refrigerator about 1 hour before using. It will stretch more easily when it's warm. Flatten the ball on a floured work surface, then hold the disk in your hands in the air and circle your fingers around the edge, pinching gently around the edge to make a border. It's easier to start stretching pizza dough in the air instead of on a work surface, because in the air gravity will pull down the dough, stretching it from where it's held in your fingers. Once it's stretched to about 8 inches in diameter, put the dough on the counter and pat it out with your fingertips from the center toward the edge to fully stretch the round of dough. Gently push your palms into the center of the dough to gently stretch it away toward to the edges. Pat and stretch to a round about 12 inches in diameter and a little more than a 1/4 inch thick, with a thicker rim. Top and bake as you like.
To assemble the pizza: Remove all but the bottom rack in your oven and put a baking stone on the rack. Preheat the oven to 500ºF for at least 30 minutes. If you have convection, turn it on to help brown and blister the top of the pizza.
Place the dough round on a well-floured rimless baking sheet. Arrange a few slices of mortadella over the dough. Scatter the Parmesan and mozzarella over the mortadella. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone and bake until the cheese melts and the crust is golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, buzz the pistachios and oil in a food processor until the nuts are coarsely chopped, about a minute.
Transfer the pizza to a cutting board and drizzle with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the pistachio mixture (save the rest for another use). Cut into wedges.

This week's Spotifriday playlist, formed from the content this week. It features SBTRKT, Ghostpoet, Laura Marling, Dels, Grace Jones, Beethoven and a few more. Click here to listen to it.
1. SBTRKT - 'Pharaohs'
It was a big week for SBTRTKT. Well, kind of. He managed to scoop the Neptune prize in the most democratic fashion, that is to say being voted into victory. Then there was also the video for this track in particular, which you can have a peek at here.
2. Ghostpoet - 'Survive It'
It's always a please to have former Editor Mike Diver come back on board the good ship Drowned in Sound, no more so than when he is picking the brains of the country's brightest, such as Ghostpoet here. Mercury-nominated Ghost Poet in fact. Read the full article here.
3. Wild Flag - 'Future Crimes'
So, Wild Flag is a supergroup, as has been said before. Made up of members of many great bands, including a couple from Sleater-Kinney. But all of that shit is in the past, man. Why can't we let it run? Well, we're going to try. And we're going to start by linking to the video for their track 'Romance'. This is a good start.
4. Kurt Vile - 'Baby's Arms'
Probably one of the best opening tracks to one of the best albums of the year, don't you think? No? Well I do. And the good news is there's more from Mr Vile this year, in the form of a new EP.
5. PJ Harvey - 'England'
Now, this might not be the strongest individual song on PJ Harvey's Let England Shake, but I do feel it's one of the most important. Possibly the most mournful, anyway. But Peej doesn't have much to be mournful about at the moment, as she won the 2011 Barclaycard Mercury Prize. Read more about our experience of the ceremony here.
6. Laura Marling - 'Ghosts'
This is a pretty old Laura Marling track. In fact it might be her very first single. Laura's moved on a fair bit since this album was released, though. And mostly in a good way. You can read our full review of her new album, which is released soon, over here.
7. Grace Jones - 'Cannibal Dub'
Grace Jones reworked her entire Hurricane album to come up with Hurricane / Dub. It sounds simple and I'm sure it probably actually was. But it's still pretty good, as our verdict shows. Well, not shows, but explains, at the very least.
8. Roll The Dice - 'Maelstrom'
Any review which starts with "Vangelis has a lot to answer for" is alright by me. That's how Abi Bliss's review for electronic duo Roll The Dice's debut album started. How it ended? Well, you'll just have to read it for yourself.
9. Dels - 'Capsize'
Yep, this was Single of The Week. Wendy Roby had this to say about it. Plus a lot more. "'Capsize' rattles with percussive ideas and judders with what sound like the very cranks and cogs of The Machine - shifting and re-writing those little snippets of legalese that only start to matter to you personally when you try to return a library book, only to find it entirely staffed by W.I. ladies; jam on everything. Or find your examinations have been sponsored by Amstrad. Still, free calculators! If you save enough democracy tokens! (They're not for you, peasants.)"
10. Årabrot - 'Madonna Was A Whore'
This is the kind of song title you believe to be throwaway before reading further, to find that these Norwegian noise-makers released an album named after a text by Georges Bataille, a philosopher type person. Yeah. It's also perhaps their poppiest track yet, but also one of the strongest on their very strong Solar Anus, which Kev Eddy awarded 9/10 earlier this week.
11. Wiener Philharmoniker - 'Symphony In No. 5 in C Minor'
Yep, this is a Beethoven track. Not sure I ever thought the day would come when I'd be sticking this in one of these lists, but here we are. The reason for it, would you believe, is that this week we ran our first ever Classically-focused column. It was wonderful and classical in itself, in many ways. Dip in our read the entire thing here.

The Central Connecticut baseball team won its second straight game on the road at Bethune Cookman on Saturday, winning 8-6, and moving to 4-4 overall on the season. The two teams will finish the weekend series with a single game at 12 p.m. on Sunday.
Central struck first with a run in the first and three more in the second to take a 4-0 lead. An RBI single from senior Anthony Turgeon started the scoring. In the second sophomore Connor Fitzsimons scored on a wild pitch and an RBI triple from senior J.P. Sportman made it 3-0. Sportman scored on an error on the play pushing the lead to 4-0.
Bethune Cookman scored twice in the bottom of the second inning to cut it to 4-2. Central answered with two more in the third to make it 6-2. Sophomore Jeff Osak's RBI followed by an RBI groudout from freshman Jake Patton make it a four-run advantage for the Blue Devils.
Bethune Cookman answered again, scoring once in the fourth and three times in the fifth inning to tie the game 6-6.
The Blue Devils took the lead again in the top of the eighth inning. Patton singled with one out and freshman Yuri Morin pinch ran for Patton. Morin stole second and went to third on a single from Sportman. Barrett's fielder's choice score Morin from third to make it 7-6. Junior Dominic Severino singled to load the bases and then Turgeon walked to make it 8-6. The RBI was the second of the game for Turgeon.
Central had 17 hits in the victory, including three each from Sportman, Patton and Severino. Turgeon drove in two runs and had two hits. Fitzsimons added two hits and scored twice. Sportman also added two runs.
Senior Nick Boyd earned the win in relief, pitching two innings without allowing a hit or a run and striking out three. Senior Anthony Mannuccia picked up his first save for the Blue Devils, pitching the last two innings without allowing a run on just one hit.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – On paper, the preliminary card matchup between Brian Foster and Matt Brown appeared to be a sure-fire candidate for the UFC 123 "Fight of the Night."
In the cage, the welterweights made good on that promise, and Foster ultimately walked away with a second-round submission win in an action-packed affair.
The Spike-TV broadcast fight served as the featured preliminary card contest at Saturday's "UFC 123: Rampage vs. Machida" event, which took place at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Mich.
It was Foster who scored an early takedown, but Brown popped immediately back to his feet and scored his own dominant trip. Brown briefly took the back, but Foster flashed his defensive skills and worked back to the feet.
After some exciting toe-to-toe trading on the restart, Foster shot in successfully. Underneath, Brown scrambled this time, and a failed rear-naked choke attempt transitioned into what looked like a near armbar finish. However, Foster never looked uncomfortable in the hold and pulled free before the end of the round.
In the second, the fight took an ugly turn when a shin to Foster's cup forced a restart. He tried to shake it off quickly, but the pain was still evident as Foster began to fight again. Nevertheless, he carried on.
After catching a Brown strike and sending him to his butt, Foster moved down to resume the attack on the ground. Brown briefly created space with a butterfly guard approach, but Foster latched on to a guillotine choke in a scramble and forced the tap at the 2:11 mark.
With the victory, Foster (14-5 MMA, 3-2 UFC) now has a two-fight win streak. While always exciting, Brown (11-10 MMA, 4-4 UFC) has now lost three-straight fights and may be facing a release as the WEC's roster merges into the UFC.
Munoz outlasts Simpson for unanimous-decision win
As often happens when high-level grapplers meet, middleweights Mark Munoz and Aaron Simpson let their striking determine a winner.
With constant forward pressure, both fighters secured the occasional takedown, but it the action was never on the mat for long. Both fighters showed excellent scrambling ability as they worked back to their feet and delivered their preferred striking attack: Simpson with wide, powerful hooks, while Munoz peppered the legs and punished his foe on the inside.
After a tight opening round, it was Munoz that started to pull away.
In the second, a spinning back elbow stunned Simpson, though the "A-Train" continued to press forward. He was met with stern resistance each time, and he started to wither.
Munoz actually showed the greater damage with blood trickling down his facee after an incidental clash of heads, but it was Munoz's pressure that proved this deciding factor. A third-round punch to the eye left Simpson complaining poke, but it was actually a clean punch and simply delayed the inevitable.
In the end, it was a clear Munoz victory, and he was awarded the fight on all three judges' cards, 29-28.
With the win, Munoz (9-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) improves to 4-1 in his past five fights. Meanwhile, Simpson (7-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) has now dropped two-straight fights since opening his career 7-0.
Hallman cools "The Heat," stops Parisyan in first
Looking for his first win in the UFC since November 2007, veteran welterweight Karo Parisyan appeared focused as he entered the cage to face Dennis Hallman. Unfortunately for "The Heat," Hallman was up to the challenge.
Parisyan looked for the takedown early, but Hallman was able to defend the maneuver and work for a guillotine choke attempt. Parisyan defended well, but things went downhill on the restart.
Parisyan landed in the striking exchange, but it was a Hallman shot to the side of the dome that proved most effective. Parisyan hit the deck, and Hallman finished up with a ground-and-pound flurry on the floor just 107 seconds into the first round.
While he continues to threaten a move to 155 pounds, Hallman (50-13-2 MMA, 3-4 UFC) has now earned two-straight wins in the 170-pound division. Meanwhile, Parisyan (19-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC) falls short in his comeback bid and falls to 1-2 with one no-contest result in his past four overall contests.
Brazilian Barboza batters Lullo
UFC lightweight newcomers Edson Barboza and Mike Lullo both entered the octagon looking to make an impression. Following the conclusion of the fight, it's likely Lullo's legs that will show the most significant mark.
The striking exchanges were fairly even in the opening round, but Barboza grabbed control of the momentum when he reversed a takedown attempt and tried to secure a rarely-seen gogoplata from top position. He couldn't earn the finish, but he certainly represented himself well.
In the second, he did even better.
Fending off takedown attempts from his opponent while working himself to top position on several occasions, Barboza established his control in the grappling game. Yet, it was his striking that really made the difference in the fight. Channeling his inner Jose Aldo, Barboza chopped away at the lead legs of Lullo. Twice a low kick sent Lullo toppling to the canvas, and the finish looked inevitable.
It was.
Barboza returned to the low kicks to open the final round, and after
Lullo stumbled and fell with each increasingly powerful strike, the
fight was waved off just 26 seconds into the round.
With an impressive debut win, Barboza (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) remains undefeated in his career. Meanwhile, Lullo (8-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) sees an eight-fight winning run halted with the result.
Kelly stops newcomer O'Brien in second
After a surprisingly intense staredown at Friday's official weigh-ins, lightweights Paul Kelly and T.J. O'Brien appeared intent on a toe-to-toe standoff.
They did not disappoint.
British slugger Kelly was the man moving forward early, though he at times found it difficult to reach the much-taller O'Brien's chin. Nevertheless, he continued the assault throughout the opening five minutes and punctuated his performance with a takedown in the closing seconds.
In the second round, Kelly dropped his foe with an early combination, but the UFC newcomer fought alertly from his back as he looked for a triangle choke and would later earn his way to mount in a scramble. However, his success would be short-lived.
Kelly scrambled free from the position and secured his own dominant spot with a crucifix from the top. The punches came in a steady dose from Kelly, and the referee was forced to step in and call a halt to the fight.
With the win, Kelly (11-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) improves to 2-2 in his past four octagon appearances. Meanwhile, O'Brien (16-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) sees a six-fight win streak snapped in his first UFC contest.
Lentz wrestles his way to split win over Griffin
The evening's first contest featured grappling standouts Nik Lentz and Tyson Griffin. In a sport where "styles make fights," the two lightweights combined for a less-than-thrilling affair throughout most of the 15-minute contest.
It was Lentz who opened the fight with an early takedown and ground-and-pound attack, but Griffin returned to his feet and the scored a takedown of his own. The back-and-forth grappling remained even for the next three rounds, and neither fighter was able to stake a real claim for control of the fight.
The final frame saw some of the best moments of the fight with Lentz looking for an armbar and Griffin answering with a guillotine choke attempt. Neither scored, but the resulting scrambles provided a few tense moments as the fight wound to a close.
In the end, judges awarded Lentz the split-decision result with scores of 29-28, 27-30, 29-28.
With the win, Lentz (20-3-2 MMA, 4-0-1 UFC) remains undefeated in five octagon fights (and 12 overall contests), though his style has done little to earn a loyal following. Meanwhile, five-time "Fight of the Night" winner Griffin (14-5 MMA, 7-5 UFC) has now dropped three-straight fights and may now be facing a release from the promotion.

- "Role of Complement Activation in Obliterative Bronchiolitis Post Lung Transplantation"
Obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) is the leading cause of death post lung transplantation. This process involves IL-17-regulated autoimmunity to type V collagen and alloimmunity which could be enhanced by complement activation. However, the specific role of complement activation in lung allograft pathology, IL-17 production, and OB are unknown. The current study examines the role of complement activation in OB. Complement regulatory proteins-CRP (CD55, CD46, Crry/CD46) expression were down regulated in human and murine OB; and C3a, a marker of complement activation, was upregulated locally. IL-17 differentially suppressed Crry expression in airway epithelial cells in vitro. Neutralizing IL-17 recovered CRP expression in murine lung allografts and abrogated local C3a production. Exogenous C3a enhanced IL-17 production from alloantigen or autoantigen (type V collagen)-reactive lymphocytes. Systemically neutralizing C5 abrogated the development of OB, reduced acute rejection severity, resulted in lower systemic and local levels of C3a and C5a, recovered CRP expression, and diminished systemic IL-17 and IL-6 levels. These data show that OB induction is in part complement dependent due to IL-17-mediated down regulation of CRPs on airway epithelium. C3a and IL-17 are part of a feed forward loop that may enhance CRP down regulation suggesting that complement blockade could be a therapeutic strategy for OB.

Latest Mobile Market Stats: Google and Apple Up, RIM Buried in Fruit Cellar
Smartphone usage in the U.S. grew another 5 percent between February and May, with Google's Android and Apple's iOS platform continuing as the biggest beneficiaries of that growth.
According to the latest numbers from research outfit comScore, nearly 110 million people owned smartphones during the three months ending in May. Of those, 50.9 percent used Android handsets, up from 50.1 percent from the period ended in February; and 31.9 percent had iPhones, up from 30.2 percent.
Microsoft's share of the market also increased, but only slightly — to 4 percent, from 3.9 percent.
As in quarters past, those gains came at the expense of rivals Research In Motion and Nokia. Both companies' share of the smartphone market declined between February and May, with RIM's falling two points to 11.4 percent, and Nokia's Symbian slipping to 1.1 percent from 1.5 percent.
In terms of the overall market, including feature phones, Samsung remains the top handset maker, with a 25.7 percent share of the market to LG's 19.1 percent, Apple's 15 percent, Motorola's 12 percent and HTC's 6.1 percent.

BAZAAR GETS GAGA: As if Harper's Bazaar editors didn't have enough to worry about with collections right around the corner, now the glossy is in the throes of putting together one of the biggest parties of New York Fashion Week. To fete its September issue featuring a portfolio by global fashion director Carine Roitfeld, the magazine will host a party at The Plaza hotel on Sept. 5.
This story first appeared in the August 27, 2014 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
One of the magazine's cover models, Lady Gaga, will perform at the bash, an act that the Hearst-owned magazine had been hoping to secure for months. Employees could finally breathe a sigh of relief when the performer confirmed last week.
But their worries weren't over: Gaga confirmed as reports swirled that the Sultan of Brunei was thinking of buying The Plaza. Would Harper's have to change the venue at the last minute given the fashion world's boycott of the sultan's Dorchester Collection of hotels over his imposition of sharia laws in Brunei? Nerves were on edge again and while "save the date" e-mails went out on Aug. 4, they did not list a location for the party.
Last week the sultan issued a statement denying he was interested in buying the famed hotel — so Harper's could stick to The Plaza. And on Tuesday, after WWD called Hearst for comment, surprise! E-mailed invites were sent out listing the event's location but not the fact that Gaga would perform.
Hearst did not return requests seeking comment.

William Horace de Vere Cole, nicknamed "The Scoundrel" by Royall Tyler, was an eccentric prankster. Born on May 5, 1881, in Ballincurrig, County Cork, Ireland, he was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge University. His most famous hoaxes were the Dreadnought Hoax of February 7, 1910, where he and five friends impersonated an Abyssinian delegation and were received aboard the Royal Navy warship HMS Dreadnought, and the Sultan of Zanzibar Hoax of March 2, 1905, where he impersonated the sultan and was received at his college in Cambridge. Although an heir to a fortune, he died in poverty in Paris on February 25, 1936.
