So let me get this straight:
You have to lift your index finger to right click.
You can't clean the ball.
They used a slotted wheel/photosensative diode, not an optical sensor like on a track ball, and not a laser, like any new monkey motion mouse has.
No scroll wheel click for page scrolling.
Really steep price tag.
Not wireless.
Basically what I see is that Apple took a 20 year old design and screwed it up in an effort to make it neato and save face. Instead of saving face, they come off as dopes for trying to hide their entry into "the PC way of doing things" behind silly tricks.
I don't use Mac, but if I did, I certainly would not switch from my Lotigech Trackman that hasn't given me an issue in 6 years...
1. Obviously, there will be a huge amount of energy wasted by raising your index finger while lowering your middle finger.
2. Are you talking like major car wash or a little cleaning fluid or any cleaning?
3. I just bought a mouse with all of those faults?
4. Meh.
5. I paid exactly the same price for my original Intellimouse.
6. This mouse has been available since the 2nd. In a short while this objection wont exist, if the concept is proven.
Basically, what I see is that you have complained about Apple and one of their products, yet you had no intention of using Apple products but you still feel the need to carp about Apple. WTF?
Your certainty, in the face of your lack of use or knowledge of the product line and its abilities beggars belief.
Use what you like. Who cares?

State Superintendent of Education Mick Zais said he wanted to permanently repeal state standards for K-12 class sizes and staffing to give local school districts more "flexibility." The reaction of much of the education community: No thanks.
Zais proposed to eliminate standards covering, among other things, the class sizes in public schools, teacher workloads, certification requirements for teachers and the number of guidance counselors, aids and librarians schools must have.
The Legislature has voted to suspend these standards for the past four years during the height of the recession, and Zais asked the state Education Board last month to make the changes permanent.
But educator advocacy groups strongly opposed the move, and they quickly mounted a campaign against it, enlisting teachers and skeptical residents. At their October meeting, a number of state education board members also voiced their concern about the plan, saying that repealing the standards could lead to overcrowded classrooms and understaffed schools.
Now Zais has relented, saying he no longer would ask the board to eliminate the standards. But he has not entirely abandoned his crusade; he said he will recommend that the Legislature again suspend the class-size regulations when it returns in January.
We can understand why the regulations were temporarily suspended during the recession, when districts were coping with significant revenue reductions and the need to cut expenses, including furloughing teachers and administrators.
But now that the economy is improving, we think permanently eliminating caps for class sizes and other standards would spawn the packed classrooms and staff shortages that critics predict.
It's once thing to adjust local budgets to temporary changes during an emergency. It's another thing altogether to structure a school district's budget based on changes that are permanent.
As local educators have stated, districts often use the staff-to-student ratios specified by state regulations as a template for writing their budgets. The standards help district officials figure out how much money they will need and where it should go.
If districts are given a free hand to eliminate teaching positions and other staffing, and to raise the number of students in classrooms, the results could be disastrous for some districts, especially those perennially short of money. The divisions between wealthy and poor district could become even more acute.
As one Board of Education member noted, the state has a duty to set standards defining what an adequate education looks like, regardless of whether the Legislature decides to suspend those standards temporarily.
School districts don't need flexibility as much as they need the money to meet at least the minimal standards for educating the children they serve.
If Zais is serious about improving education in the state, he should be lobbying for smaller class sizes, more classroom teachers, more art and music teachers, librarians and guidance counselors. We get the impression, however, that, for Zais, excellence takes a back seat to an ideological crusade to shrink government.
We're grateful that the outcry from alarmed educators and members of the public seems to have stymied him at least for the moment.

Jodie Marie
Jodie Marie is that rarest of things: a refreshingly pure talent with a collection of deeply personal songs that manage to genuinely affect the listener.
Her voice is that of a classic artist and her unique tone and phrasing is impossible to compare. Whilst the quality and substance of the songs bring to mind greats such as Carole King and Joni Mitchell, her style is truly original within this classic framework of writing. And the emotional depth of her writing belies her mere 19 years of age.
Raised in Narberth - isolated and disinterested in the pop charts - Jodie Marie was brought up on a diet of blues and Bonnie Raitt, leading her to a soulful and genuine signature sound.
Whilst musically isolated, this sense of difference is intensified by the very physical location of her upbringing; romantic sea vistas which to the outsider could feel like other worlds entirely with their contrasts of purple foliage, waterfalls and of course that Greeny Blue sea.
"I love Pembrokeshire," she explains. "I think it has had such a massive influence on me, having all the beautiful space, landscapes and sea on my doorstep is amazing. I spend so much time at the beach, or just in the sea kayaking, surfing, or cliff jumping. I really appreciate that feeling of going out of your back door and all there is are fields and silence. You really come into your own, it's great for inspiration."
But the songs are also deeply personal, highlighting the feeling of isolation that occasionally arises in trying to communicate to our fellow humans. Her debut album, "Mountain Echo" encapsulates this feeling, as Jodie explains:
"The songs are written as conversations to people in my life, but without speaking to them directly about things, almost like an echo."
Indeed, the principal of heartfelt communication with those we care about reached a poignant climax when writing the album's title track with collaborator Ed Harcourt, as it was conceived the day that Ed heard the news of his friend Mark Linkous from Sparklehorse had taken his own life.
"Ed had been good friends with him, and he was obviously really upset. I offered to go home and let him have space, but he wanted to carry on with the session. At the end of the day we had written a song called 'Mountain Echo': this song has such emotion behind it from Ed and myself."
The seriousness of much of her subject matter is lifted to a joyous and eminently listenable plain, through her unique ear for a tune and phrasing, compounded by the classic production styles of both Bernard Butler (Duffy, Suede) and Ed Harcourt (Paloma Faith). Much of the album has been recorded live with lush string overdubs in Konk studios (owned by Ray Davies), with no editing of vocals to capture the energy and emotion of these human performances; a rare approach in today's music industry.
"I loved recording the album in such an old-fashioned way. We had rehearsed together, the mics had been set up, we all had our own places to stand or sit, and we just played live altogether. Not many artists get to do that anymore, and I think that's where I've been really lucky recording the majority of my album this way."
Discovered by Transgressive Management (the team behind Johnny Flynn, Foals and The Noisettes) when Toby L's father was on a trip back to his hometown in Wales. Speaking about his son's involvement in the music industry over breakfast, he was instructed by the landlady to check out the local plumber's daughter's music.
Signed to Decca to relaunch the classic Verve label, she follows a strong lineage of artists, from Nina Simone and Billie Holliday to the Velvet Underground and is set to transcend trends and convention with her heartfelt debut album released later in the year. The debut single "Single Blank Canvas" is a small glimpse into the expansive world of this new original voice.
Johnny Flynn
The story: Toby moved into a flat with Transgressive Records signing Jeremy Warmsley, who in turn introduced him to fellow prospective flat-sharer, Johnny.
Eventually all choosing the same Camden abode (capped with Jeremy collaborator/Three Trapped Tigers creator Tom Rogerson as a fourth resident), Johnny was then predominantly (whilst still is) an actor who was rarely in at home, usually touring the country in plays.
One day, though, he invited Tim and Toby to witness a two-piece performance of himself and fellow friend Matt Edmonds at the Lock Tavern. The music was rousing, ramshackle, touching folk-blues-whatever, doused in innocence yet wisdom that belied years. After a particularly triumphant main support show at Blue Flowers in Chiswick alongside luminaries such as Jamie T and Adele, Transgressive offered to manage Johnny as their first (and sole) artist on such terms.
A deal was quickly sparked for two singles with Young & Lost Club for the rare 'The Epic Tale of Tom & Sue' / 'Ode To A Mare Trod Ditch' releases, before deal points were concluded for a fuller, multi-album arrangement with Universal, through its Vertigo Records imprint.
Flynn's debut LP 'A Larum' (produced by Ryan Hadlock) was released in 2008 to exceptional acclaim, and gained a prestigious Stateside release via Lost Highway Records. Tours with recording and live band The Sussex Wit (featuring Adam Beach, the aforementioned Edmonds, cellist Joe Zeitlin and Flynn's sister Lillie) have been rapturously received, scaling extensive jaunts across North and South America, Europe and the UK.
A second album from this inspirational artist beckons for the mid-part of 2009.

Background It is unclear whether patients with different clinical subtypes of Parkinson disease (PD) differ in their risk of developing levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) and whether resting tremor is negatively correlated with this risk.
Objectives To determine whether resting tremor as an initial manifestation of PD negatively correlated with subsequent occurrence and severity of LID and to study the correlations between LID and other epidemiological factors (eg, age at onset of PD and duration of PD).
Design Logistic regression analysis was used to determine predictive factors of LID. Spearman rank correlations between LID and epidemiological factors and motor signs (including tremor) were calculated.
Setting Institutional tertiary referral center for movement disorders.
Patients Cohort of 85 patients with PD.
Main Outcome Measure Occurrence of LID according to the Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale part IV.
Results Resting tremor as an initial manifestation of PD was associated with reduced risk of developing LID independent of other predictors of LID (duration of PD, axial signs, and levodopa dose).
Conclusion Resting tremor as an initial manifestation of PD predicts lower probability of developing LID under levodopa treatment.

- Should the DoD be more involved in securing government cyberspace? The Quadrennial Defense Review Independent Panel has jump started a debate over cybersecurity in civilian agencies. Currently, DHS is tasked with maintaining and protecting cyberspace in civilian agencies, but the panel recommends that the Defense department be more involved. Citing technology already in place at U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency, the panel said that DoD should be given more authority to support DHS's efforts to secure dot gov and dot com domains. The panel also suggested that DoD reach out to industry talent in Silicon Valley to support its cyber mission, NextGov reports.
- It's another way that cyber baddies would like to make life miserable for people - and this way involves more than just spam or spyware. U.S. officials say computer hackers have been targeting power plants and other critical infrastructure around the world - in an effort to seize control of such key facilities. The experts say they have run across computer code specifically designed to take over the systems that control the inner workings of industrial plants. As much as 85 percent of the nation's critical infrastructure - like nuclear and electric power plants as well as transportation systems - is owned and run by private firms. The Department of Homeland Security is creating new specialized teams to confront the threat.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
September 28, 2011
Larson is the youngest of 4 volleyball playing sisters. The first three played at Maize High but all tutored by the same coach, their mom, former Eagle, now Maverick head coach Teri Larson.
"She has grown up with the game her whole life," said Coach Larson of her daughter. "She's remembered as my ball girl, she kept score on the bench as a little kid. She's played a lot of sports but this has been her passion."
The Mavs began the week 16-0. Their last match was a 3-set championship win over Kapaun in the Maize tournament championship. That kept their perfect record in-tact with proof that they deserved mention with the best teams in 4A.
"It was very exciting. We worked so hard to win that thing." Jody told KAKE. "We were so tired all weekend and sore on Monday, we worked hard."
Congrats to Maize South junior Jody Larson for earning our KAKE Sports Athlete of the Week award.

A woman fell onto the subway tracks at the Atlantic-Barclays Center subway station Monday morning, and was pulled back onto the platform by other riders, an MTA spokesman said.
The incident happened on the Manhattan-bound platform of the N/R line at 8:25 a.m., the spokesman said.
The FDNY sent an ambulance to the transit hub at the intersection of Flatbush and Atlantic avenues at 8:31 a.m, and took her to Brooklyn Hospital Center, an FDNY spokeswoman said. The spokewoman didn't know the woman's condition when she was taken from the scene.
An MTA spokesman said service was not interrupted at the station, which until a few months ago, was known as Atlantic Ave.-Pacific St.

Updated Dec 23, 2012 - 11:42 am
ESPN ranks Jahii Carson as No. 3 freshman in Division 1
How good?
Well, with a 77-62 victory at Texas Tech (first win on the road) Saturday, the Sun Devils have already matched their win total (10) from the 2011-12 season.
ASU has already reached the 10-win mark thanks to improved offensive tempo, leadership from Carrick Felix and Jordan Bachynski and impressive contributions from underclassmen Jonathan Gilling, Evan Jacobsen and Jahii Carson.
While Gilling was the story Saturday (hitting six of the team's 14 three-pointers), Carson has been an effective presence throughout the 2012-13 season.
Carson, who had 18 points in the victory over the Red Raiders, leads the team in scoring (17.9 points per game) and has had double-digit scoring efforts in 11 of 12 games.
The former Mesa High School star has been especially effective in the month of December, hitting 47 percent of his shots and dishing out five assists per game. In that same span ASU is 5-1.
For his tremendous 12-game stretch, ESPN currently ranks Carson as the No. 3 freshman in the country.
Three of the top 20 recruits in the nation enrolled at Arizona this year, but there's little question that the most impressive freshman in the state plays in Tempe. Carson (17.9 ppg) trails only Bennett is scoring, while also ranking in the top five in assists (5.3). It has been 16 years since a freshman averaged 17 and 5 (Seton Hall's Shaheen Holloway in 1996-97). On a team picked to finish 11th in the Pac-12, it's no surprise that the Sun Devils are leaning heavily on Carson. If he turns ASU into a conference contender, he might lock up this award. But keep in mind that the last USBWA Freshman of the Year to miss the NCAA tournament was Eddie Griffin in 2000-01.
Ironically, the last ASU freshman to make the conference's All-Freshman first team was James Harden back in 2007-08. That season he led the Sun Devils in scoring with 17.9 points per game (Carson's current average). Harden also made the All-Pac-12 first team that season.

Jon Entine, Contributor
I write skeptically about science, public policy, media and NGOs.
Science reporting on "endocrine disrupting" chemicals hits new low. Is the resistance to evidence-based science clinical? Jon Entine of the Genetic Literacy Project reports.
One of the most disturbing trends in science reporting is what The New York Times' Andrew Revkin calls "single-study syndrome"— the increasing tendency of reporters and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to trumpet research that supports a pre-determined perspective, no matter how tenuous—or dubious—a study might be.
That tendency was in sharp display recently after the publication of a study on Bisphenol A by University of California structural biologist Michael Baker in the online journal PLOS ONE. The chemical—a ubiquitous additive found in common plastic products and used as an ingredient in epoxy liners in cans that prevent spoilage and botulism—has been in the crosshairs of a small but determined group of university researchers, activist NGOs and journalists.
Critics of BPA believe it causes a range of disorders, particularly in pregnant women, developing fetuses and infants. They call it an "endocrine disruptor," a term that gradually crept into mainstream use to describe synthetic chemicals that "mediate" hormonal activity, as do many natural substances, such as soy. BPA, they claim, is one chemical in a rogue's gallery that includes the common weed killer atrazine, plasticizer phthalates and chemicals used to produce resins and detergents.
As often happens when a new study on BPA or "endocrine disruption" is published, a chorus of what seems like coordinated reactions materializes on the web. Within hours of the release of the Baker study, cyberspace exploded. The University of California-San Diego Health System's news release, breathlessly titled, "BPA's Real Threat May Be After It Has Metabolized," was picked up verbatim by thousands of websites. It sparked uncritical stories by Chemical & Engineering News, Yahoo!, numerous other reputable news outlets and hundreds of speculative pieces by chemical-fearing NGOs with headlines ranging from "BPA is Bad to the Bone, Now We Know Why," to "BPA Can be passed from moms to kids at birth" and "New studies add fuel to concerns over BPA.
BPA antagonistes
The news reports shared a common theme—asserting or at least suggesting that the Baker study was a smoking gun and perhaps the final scientific word that activists have been awaiting to confirm their long-held belief that BPA is harmful and should be banned or sharply restricted. The irony is that the Baker study, when analyzed, does not support that view. Rather, it provides additional confirmation of the unlikelihood that BPA or many other so-called "endocrine disrupting" chemicals pose serious health threats.
The bizarre journalistic reaction to the Baker study underscores a distressing turn in "science reporting"—a disconnection between what agenda-seeking NGOs and their partners in the popular media report versus what the empirical evidence suggests. BPA antagonists range from chemophobic "natural" activist groups (Healthy Children Healthy World, Joseph Mercola) and advocacy media organizations (Mother Jones, Grist) to popular environmental organizations (Environmental Working Group, Natural Resources Defense Council). They share a worldview with some high-profile journalists—most notoriously the columnist Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times. Kristof has made "endocrine disrupting" chemicals one of his signature issues—much to the embarrassment of top-flight science journalists. This loose but very real coalition also includes reporters at many otherwise reputable news organizations who are not necessarily locked into a view about BPA or chemicals in general but, based on their reporting, appear to have only a superficial understanding of scientific risk.
According to these critics, chemicals like BPA can be blamed for everything from cancer to obesity, retarded neurological development, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, infertility and other disorders related to sexual development. These are catastrophic allegations, which if supported by the evidence warrant immediate and decisive restrictions. But in the case of BPA, the very opposite is happening. Since 2007, there have been more than a dozen comprehensive reviews of BPA by independent government scientists around the world, including in Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia and the United States, and each has concluded that the current uses of the chemical are safe.
Among the more high profile reports, the European Food Safety Authority in summer 2010, a joint UN Food and Agriculture Organization/WHO expert panel on BPA in November 2010, and a special Advisory Committee of the German Society of Toxicology in spring 2011 independently concluded that the collective body of evidence demonstrates that BPA does not pose serious neurological dangers or cause cancer in humans, and has not even been shown to be an "endocrine disruptor," although it does have modest but not necessarily harmful endocrine effects.
In fact, the same week the Baker study was released—and ballyhooed by activist bloggers and journalists as decisive new evidence—Health Canada and that country's Bureau of Chemical Safety upheld its prior scientific finding that found BPA poses no serious threat. "Based on the overall weight of evidence," reads the report, "the findings of the previous assessment remain unchanged and Health Canada's Food Directorate continues to conclude that current dietary exposure to BPA through food packaging uses is not expected to pose a health risk to the general population, including newborns and young children."
Is BPA bioactive?
The most common and seemingly damning allegation against BPA, and one that shows up repeatedly in media reports, is that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found traces of the chemical in the urine of more than 90% of adults and children. That sounds frightening. But is it cause for concern? How scientists and journalists frame this often-stated fact is a good barometer of their understanding of risk analysis—whether they genuinely wrestle with complex science or are mouthpieces, intentionally or not, for a predetermined, chemophobic perspective.
The CDC has repeatedly stated that while biomonitoring "can … help scientists plan and conduct research on exposure and health effects," the presence of a chemical in urine—whether BPA, atrazine, a phthalate or some other chemical targeted by advocacy groups—is not necessarily a sign that it's harmful. Because advanced biomonitoring technology can detect vanishingly low concentrations of chemicals, "[f]inding a measurable amount of BPA in the urine does not mean that the levels of BPA cause an adverse health effect," the CDC has written.
Regulators and most scientists believe the central focus of research should be to determine whether a bioactive form of a chemical makes it through the liver into our bloodstream, where it could effect our health. Years ago, that issue had been in doubt, which is why many scientists were initially agnostic over the question of BPA's potential health impact. But by 2010 the FDA, reflecting the emerging scientific consensus, concluded, "[O]ral BPA administration results in rapid metabolism of BPA to an inactive [and therefore harmless] form."
Such declaratory statements, echoed by every major international agency before and since, have not mollified the determined proponents of the endocrine disruption hypothesis. They remain convinced that Paracelsus' famous declaration—"the dose makes the poison"—which has been the defining standard in toxicology, risk assessment and regulatory oversight—is simplistic and outdated. They believe in what's called the non-monotonic response: A class of substances, BPA included, can interact with cellular hormone receptors in such a way that lower doses can pose higher risks.
Indeed, studies have shown that low doses of certain chemicals can induce non-monotonic effects. There are more than 600 studies to date according to a survey published last March in Endocrine Reviews. But independent scientists who have reviewed these studies, time and again, have come away unconvinced these effects consistently or even generally suggest harm. For the most part, they see biological activity—lots of statistical noise with contradictory indications of harm. And in the overwhelming majority of cases in which effects have been seen, rodents were administered the chemical by injection, bypassing the oral route, which is how humans typically encounter these substances. Regulators view these studies as marginally relevant to assess human health.
What's an "endocrine disrupting" chemical?
Four years ago, in light of their unwavering and highly publicized concerns over BPA, the organized group of scientists who embrace the endocrine disruption hypothesis demanded, and were granted, yet another round of independent, government-financed peer review studies. The Obama Administration authorized under the stimulus package more than 30 million dollars for new research. The first set of studies began to appear in 2010. As the evidence began to come in and much to the discouragement of a shrinking group of true believers, the mainstream scientific consensus began to shift away from their position.
Originally open to considering that BPA might be harmful, L. Earl Gray Jr., senior scientist at the Environmental Protection Agency's Research Triangle center in North Carolina, and his colleagues addressed whether endocrine effects translate into "endocrine disruption." Their government-funded study, published in 2010, covered a wide range of BPA doses. It found extremely weak effects at low and high exposure levels. Even at four thousand times higher than the maximum exposure of humans in the general population, there were no discernible effects. Gray and his co-authors concluded that BPA has an extremely mild estrogenic impact but should not be called an "endocrine disruptor."
My apology for getting your name wrong.
Your professional status and bias, if any, do matter when you seek to influence others in a national article. Indeed, that's why you mention the qualifications and biases of the people and conclusions you attack.
As for testing of substitutes, what long term studies were done on BPA before it was released into the world ? And, contrary to your argument, people can find safer substitutes without testing – glass is one. There also are substitutes that come from chemical families that are not as suspect as others. Or, entirely different products could be created, or products might not be sold at all. Companies need to know all of the risks and options.
You avoid the substance of my comments, so presumably readers should take the points as admitted.
Overall, the point is that corporations need accurate advice about the risks and unknowns of the products they sell. Your one-sided piece does not help corporate leaders understand the limits of science or the risks undertaken by selling products prior to years of testing. The risks may be unavoidable and if so, they need to know that the risk is out there. Some 70+ companies went bankrupt because they did not know the full nature of the risks of the asbestos products they sold, and did not have enough insurance or cash reserves for the risks that turned into deaths and injuries. The bankruptcy outcome destroys shareholder value and enterprise value.
I did not suggest the products should not be sold. I do, however, suggest that corporations need the full picture, and need to know that science gets things wrong, so they can insure or reserve adequately to stay out of bankruptcy by paying claims fully if the unexpected risks turn out to exist. That's how shareholder value is preserved. It's also how companies avoid securities lawsuits for failure to adequately disclose risks. Halliburton has experienced that problem because of its disastrous underestimate/underdisclosure of the liabilities connected with its purchase of Dresser Industries, an asbestos-defendant. See also the example of Federal-Mogul, a company that fell into chapter 11 after it acquired seven streams of asbestos liabilities in the late 1990s and 2000s.
In sum, the interests of the free market and shareholders (not to mention society) are best served by open, accurate discussions of risks, knowns and unknowns, and then making financially adequate provisions for the liability risks, as well as the reputational risk injuries that could arrive with sale of a defective product (Sec. Rumsfeld's comments come to mind as to known unknowns.) McDonald's for years has balanced those risks very carefully and conservatively in selling millions of Happy Meal toys by confronting the risks and exercising abundant caution, knowing that one big mistake could ruin its reputation and business. They did not get there by attacking legitimate scientists.
To close on substance, a quote from a new editorial letter in the new issue of Science. The item is written by a world class researcher, Mary-Claire King. She closes the letter by saying: "Solving complex problems, whether scientific, social, or political, requires honest and critical appraisal of data. Truth ultimately matters more than consolidating power, securing funding, or furthering agendas. In my experience, the most important questions come from people on the front lines, and no question is too big to ask." See http://www.sciencemag.org/content/338/6107/581.full?sid=72623cac-8877-4165-88b8-2e28bab8d3d4
Finally, you protest that "the Center" is not part of George Mason University. Apparently you draw some line that's pretty darned thin. The Center's website states:
"The Department of Communication at George Mason University houses the new Center for Health and Risk Communication (CHRC)." Apparently we can safely conclude your space is paid for by the University, but somehow you are not part of the University. Perhaps you should end your article by disclosing the funding source for your time. Indeed, many science articles today close with a list of the funding sources for the published work.
The remainder of the Center web site also blends the Center and the University as if they are one. Thus, the web site page for the Center goes on as pasted below – darn hard to see the line between the Center and George Mason in the following text:
"Health and risk communication are areas of great interest and expertise within the Department of Communication and there are growing research and education programs at Mason in this area. Health and risk communication are important interrelated areas of study and application. Health communication examines the communication processes central to the delivery of health care and promotion of health, including health care provider consumer interactions, informed health care decision making, the provision of social support, the development and implementation of health promotion campaigns, and the uses of media and information technologies within the health care system. Risk communication examines strategic communication of serious health and safety risks to relevant publics, government officials, and first-responders, including media management, risk prevention, preparation, and response to health and crisis situations.
The CHRC provides an important organizational framework for stimulating innovative health and risk communication research collaborations, health promotion intervention projects, and community interventions. The establishment of the CHRC parallels the development of innovative new health and risk communication graduate programs at both the Masters and Doctoral levels within the Department of Communication, as well as the development of a strong cadre of distinguished faculty scholars with expertise in health and risk communication. Department faculty have received increased national and international recognition for their scholarship and growing external support for health and risk communication research educational activities from a variety of federal agencies and private foundations.
Active research collaborations have been established with leading health and safety scholars across George Mason University and many other national and international research centers. The Department has served as host for several distinguished international health and risk communication scholars who have engaged in collaborative research while at Mason.
The CHRC helps to connect the Department of Communication with a number of relevant external constituencies outside the university, such as the National Cancer Institute (NCI's) Health Communication and Informatics Research Branch, the NCI Cancer Information Service, the CDC's National Center for Health Marketing, the AHRQ's John M. Eisenberg Clinical Decisions and Communications Science Center, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Health e-Technologies Program, the Coalition for Health Communication, and a number of other important federal agencies and private foundations). There CHRC will be a focal point for plans to establish an innovative new DC-area Research Consortium of Health Communication Programs with collaborations between GMU, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Maryland, Georgetown University, George Washington University, and Howard University."
Jon, your exits to side topics are marvelous for avoiding substance – thus far you've ducked on pretty much everything, except happily claiming that I'm paranoid. I will check back some day to see if you ever explain the line you see between "the Center" and George Mason.
As for glass, yes, it does shatter, occasionally, if dropped. To mitigate risk, you can buy glass lined bottles with plastic exteriors to stop shattering. http://pureglassbottle.com/ And, prudent companies wil assess systemic risks in cans (and reputation risk), and many will over time move away from BPA as they find alternatives. Some will not. Time will tell who made the right choice economically and socially. But with SOX and increasing focus on recognizing risks, there is a major need to help companies see the unknowns, and to understand the possible implications of both genetics and epigenetics. As you define it, there was no "proof" that DES was harmful, but today we know from reputable scientists and reputable journals that there are 40x excess vaginal cancers in DES daughters and grand-daughters, and issues about excess breast cancer risks. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1013961
BTW, contrary to your rant, I've been a successful defense lawyer for corporations in product liability cases for almost 30 years, and also handle inter-company lawsuits over legacy liabilities arising from corporate mistakes made decades ago. But unlike you, I candidly tell clients about both sides of debates, I try to identify unknowns and hedges against risks, and I try to avoid demonizing the other side because that too often leads to type 1 thinking instead of type 2 thinking.
The study you quote says that BPA might not attach to estrogen receptors, but the metabolite of BPA does attach at extremely low concentrations. Thus, ingesting BPA, which inevitably leads to the formation of the metabolite, causes endocrine disruption.
I am a physician with a public health degree. I can read scientific articles (I actually read several each day, call me a nerd). I have been following the BPA story for years. It is indeed connected to a variety of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, as well as to diabetes. It is heartening to see the research come together. This is a battle industry will lose. We can agree to disagree, just don't be disparaging your readers.
Thank you for a level and unbiased accounting of this issue. I wonder if there are financial incentives for those who continue to push this issue via government grants and private donations? I would also note that removing epoxy coatings from the food chain will add cost and reduce shelf life. I wonder how the people in New Jersey would feel if they found the canned food they had stored had a shorter shelf life?
Cheers for the piece, Jon. I enjoyed reading it. I'm an Aussie epidemiologist working in obesity prevention at the University of Oxford, and I'm interested in this 'EDC hypothesis' re. as a risk factor to child/ adult obesity. You've focused your article on BPA, which is fair enough. What do you think of other suspected EDCs, such as other phenols, phthalates, PFCs and organotins like TBT? And what about skin absorption exposure points, such as BPA in thermal papers – couldn't this circumvent the oral route? Not to mention that many suspected EDCs are found in many cosmetics. Also, I read Prof. Blumberg's papers and I'd like know what you think of his suggestion that these 'obesogens' activate PPAR-gamma and, if exposed during fetal development, it may have lifelong effects? Blumberg is quoted as saying "there are pharmaceutical drugs that activate the same receptor – called Actos and Avandia3 – that are known to make people fat … So if I give humans a drug that activates PPAR-gamma, and they get fat, why would you imagine that a chemical that activates the same receptor wouldn't have exactly the same effect?" I also recently spoke with a few endo's about the likelihood of an estrogen-mimicking compound at the parts per billion level disrupting the endocrine system, and it made sense to them… particularly while in utero. It is a system after all, and like other systems, if you interfere with one or more pieces of that system, particularly while it's being constructed, it can have some rather drastic or may be unpredictable effects. Look at DES sons and DES daughters. Hmm, I've just read back my comments and I'm being provocative. Nonetheless, your response will be read with keen interest. Thanks again, KT
Jon, would you please write an article on Aspartame? My eyes are literally tired from rolling each time someone tries to lecture me on it's dangers.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — North Tonawanda Common Council President Rich Andres has dropped his bid for re-election in the city's Second Ward and will instead seek a seat representing the Niagara County Legislature's 8th District.
Andres' announcement comes a week after Republican Legislator Peter Smolinski said he would retire from the slot at the end of this year. Smolinski has been a county legislator for 12 years.
Andres, a 33-year-old Republican, who was first elected to represent the city's Second Ward in 2009, and selected council president at the end of 2011 by his peers, said his motivation for running for the Legislature is rooted in his desire to "do more for North Tonawanda."
He also cited a record of backing lower tax rates in the city and development projects along Webster Street, the city's waterfront and the downtown business corridor. Andres said he now wants to take those initiatives to the county Legislature, where a Republican majority has controlled the chamber in recent years.
"That's priority number one," Andres said. "We have some momentum to keep this going."
Andres, a history teacher at North Tonawanda High School since 2002, said if elected many of the measures he pushed for as an alderman would carry to the county level, where he'd like to further tap into the resources of the Niagara River Greenway Fund.
He'd like to gain headway along Oliver Street, once the city's vibrant commercial district, by putting a focus on beautification projects such as facade restructuring and green space and tap into the idea of tourism along the city's untapped access to the Niagara River and the Erie Canal.
"It took 10 to 12 years to turn Webster around and downtown is now a viable place for business where people spend money," he said. "Waterfront redevelopment, that's what makes us different from Amherst, Clarence and East Aurora. The feeling is they're doing better than us. But the more people we have coming coming to our waterfront will help it become a place that people want to stay and live."
Andres said his family's ties to politics were part of his initial interest in running for elected office. His grandfather, Ed Pawenski, was the supervisor of the early version of the Niagara County Legislature before becoming one of the founding members of Niagara County Community College. His father was a North Tonawanda police officer and his brother is a member of the county sheriff's department.
"North Tonawanda is my home, it's where I've chosen to raise my family and I look forward to the new challenge of fighting for NT in the county Legislature," he said.Contact reporter Michael Regan at 693-1000, ext. 4115.

Year End awards/recognition
Fri, 07/27/2007 - 9:27am | by casey
Race of the year
So I've been thinking that it would be a good idea to come up with some year end awards/recognition to help recognize the efforts of hard working clubs and race promoters. First we need to come up with the award categories. Once we have the categories ten we can open up nominations. After nominations are set then we can have the voting.
The categories I have come up with so far are.
Race of the year
Best new race
Best course for RR
Best course for Crit
Any other ideas for possible award categories?

Otterbein University has been accepted for membership in the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education. NITLE is the premier higher education organization dedicated to exploring the intersections of technological advances and advances in liberal education.
Membership means that any faculty member or staff can sign up for the NITLE News, can join one of a number of exciting working listservs, can participate in the NITLE Webinars and seminars and can collaborate with colleagues from across the United States on exciting projects.
NITLE News - which keeps people on Network campuses informed of NITLE activities. Here is the link to the subscription form. It only takes a minute or so to get on the list. NITLE News
LISTSERV page - You can register to receive regular emails from their peers. These are somewhat more specialized, and they involve conversations between faculty, school staff and NITLE staff. Otterbein members are free to post or answer any queries. Here is the link to our listserv page: NITLE Listserve link Prediction Markets - I'm sure there are faculty and staff who hold strong opinions about the future of higher education. NITLE likes to tap into that kind of thinking with their Prediction Markets. Please feel free to "play the markets" and encourage others to do so, click on the title link.
We use these, in part, when Dr. Bryan Alexander writes his monthly Future Trends newsletter, which you can receive each month. Of course, CAN-SPAM regulations also require you to sign up for that newsletter. I encourage you to do this.
Libraries - Also, NITLE is developing a series on transforming libraries. We recently received notice that this initiative will be funded by the Mellon Foundation, and our Library Fellow, Dr. Sean Andrews, is preparing that series for members right now. When the series is ready to launch, NITLE will let us know more of the specifics. Benefits of Membership page - Finally, you may want to check out our updated "Benefits of Membership" page, which shows some of the more tangible benefits of NITLE.

The Seahawks blossomed in 2012 under the direction of Jason Howell, as they returned to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2008. The pitching staff ranked 67th nationally with an ERA of 3.61, saving off nearly two runs a game (1.76) off its ERA in 2011. Tyler McSwain (3.18) and Mat Batts (3.04) keyed the staff's rise in 2012. Relievers Kelly Secrest (2.12), Tom Timoney (2.25), Ricky Holden (2.28) and William Prince (2.77) also strengthened a staff that will be strong in the coming seasons.
McSwain and Batts were named first and third-team All-CAA respectively while McSwain became the program's all-time wins leader in CAA action with 17.
Holden and Secrest proved to be a lethal 1-2 combo in middle relief for the Seahawks. Holden stitched together a 26-inning shutout streak midway through the season and Secrest picked up five wins and tied a UNCW record for strikeouts by a reliever with 12 in retiring all 16 batters he faced against Elon.
In 2011, Daniel Cropper highlighted the Seahawks during the season, finishing with an 8-3 record and signing a free agent contract with the San Diego Padres. Cropper capped his career ranked among UNCW's all-time leaders in games started (50), wins (21) and strikeouts (236).
In 2010, under the direction of Howell, UNCW returned to the top of the CAA, leading the 11-team circuit in ERA (4.58), strikeouts (479) and opponent's batting average (.265). The Seahawks ranked 42nd nationally in ERA and were ninth in hits allowed per game, allowing nine per nine innings.
Cameron Roth, who would be drafted by the Baltimore Orioles, finished fifth in the conference with a 2.98 ERA while Tyler McSwain was ninth with a 4.02 mark. Joining Roth as draft selections were Stephen Harrold (12th round, San Francisco) and Seth Frankoff (27th round, Oakland).
In his first season, Howell made an immediate impact on the staff. Brad Holt and Jeff Hatcher earned first-team All-CAA honors while freshmen Stephen Harrold and Cameron Roth were named All-America in addition to their CAA All-Freshman honors under his guidance. UNCW topped the Colonial Athletic Association in earned run average. In conference play, Seahawk pitchers compiled a league-leading 3.84 ERA and held opponents to a .255 batting average to also pace the 11-team circuit.
Holt, who also earned three All-America honors, was the 33rd pick overall in the Major League Baseball draft after leading the conference with 11 wins and ranking second with a 3.18 ERA.
In 2009, the Seahawks finished third in the CAA in earned run average and boasted one of the top bullpens in the league. Bryan Booth and Tyler McSwain ranked among the conference leaders with six and four saves, respectively. Booth (37) and Steven Davis (29), a CAA All-Rookie selection, finished 1-2 in appearances and McSwain finished fourth with 27.
Daniel Cropper, who missed the previous season (2008) with an injury, rebounded in 2009 and was selected by the Washington Nationals in the MLB draft, but choose to return to school for his junior season.
A native of Millers Creek, N.C., Howell came to UNCW following two seasons as an assistant coach at UNC Chapel Hill. He coached first base while working with the pitching staff under the direction of assistant coach Scott Forbes.
The Tar Heels reached the championship series of the NCAA College World Series in Omaha, Neb., in 2007 and 2008. The 2007 pitching staff fashioned a 3.52 earned run average, ranking 12th nationally, and featured draft picks Luke Putkonen (3rd round, Detroit), Andrew Carignan (5th round, Oakland) and Robert Woodard (20th round, San Diego). In 2006, major league draft selections, Andrew Miller (1st round, Detroit), Daniel Bard (1st round, Boston) and national ERA leader Jonathan Hovis (FA, New York (AL)) led the Tar Heels into the finals.
Howell began his coaching career as a pitching coach for the Southern Ohio Copperheads of the Great Lakes League, a summer collegiate league, in 2005.
He played three seasons at Appalachian State before concluding his collegiate career at UNC Chapel Hill, where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in 2002. He also graduated from the school in 2008 with a master's degree.
In 2001, he earned Second-Team All-ACC honors after both pitching and playing in the field for the Tar Heels. On the mound, Howell went 6-2 with four saves and was also second on the team with a .350 batting average with 13 doubles and 29 runs batted in. For his efforts, Howell earned the S.H. Basnight Award as the Tar Heels' Most Valuable Pitcher.
Prior to joining the UNC coaching staff, Howell was a member of the Boston Red Sox farm system for four seasons before retiring from professional baseball in 2005. He compiled a 28-14 mark, collected 23 saves and recorded a 3.86 ERA with the Red Sox. In 2002, he paced Boston's minor league circuit with 17 saves for Augusta and later topped the organization in 2003 when he made 48 appearances for Sarasota of the Florida State League.
Howell is no stranger to the Port City, though. He spent the 1999 and 2000 summer seasons as a member of the Wilmington Sharks of the Coastal Plain League, posting a 4-1 record with a 2.57 ERA in 2000.
Howell married the former Meredith White on Nov. 14, 2009. The couple resides in Wilmington with their daughter Lena (born March 23, 2011) and two dogs, Bodie and Jasper.

Cambridge, Mass. - February 12, 2011 -- A contingent of the Springfield College women's track & field team competed at the MIT Co-ed Invitational this past Saturday in Cambridge. It was a non-scoring meet as far as the team was concerned.
There were several fine performances among individuals by members of the Pride squad.
Jen Kapinos finished first in the 600 meters with a final time of 1:42.27. Moreover, the 4x400 team also placed first in their event with a time of 4:25.74. The 4x400 team included Joy Jennifer, Shannon Park, Bethany Young and Elisa White.
The women competing in the 3000 meter run were outstanding for the Pride. Molly Powell, Katie Burns, and Sissell Holloway all placed in the top three spots. Powell came in first with a time of 11:22.50, Burns second with a time of 11:26.19, and third place went to Sissell with a time of 11:27.74.
The Pride also placed first in several other events, including the 200-meter dash, the 400-meter dash, 800-meter run, and the 55-meter hurdles. In the 200-meter dash, Eiri Inoue had a time of 28.56 to place first. The 400-meter dash was won by Vanessa Rosario at 1:05.03. Molly Parshley came through for Springfield with a time of 2:35.55 to win the 800-meter dash. The 55-meter hurdles was dominated by Lisa Trimby with a time of 10.36 seconds who placed first in her section. Kelly Curtis with an 8.82, also placed first in her section.
Earning second-place finishes for the Pride were Samantha Artz in the high jump event. Artz finished with a leap of 1.47 meters. Desiree Perry finished second in her section of the 55-meter dash with a time of 8.24. Colleen Brague placed second in the weight throw with a toss of 12.02 meters. Michelle Angelo was third at 11.65 meters in the same event.
Springfield also did very well in the shot put with Amanda Mullen placing second in 8.11meters. Kelly Pigott also finished second in the 600-meter run with a time of 2:09.13.

A week after by edged by Floyd Central for the Hoosier Hills Conference title, New Albany paid back the Highlanders with a 94-92 victory.
The win allowed the Bulldogs to finish the regular season with an 11-0 dual meet mark. It could also them momentum over the five-time defending sectional champion Highlanders at the Feb. 2 Floyd Central Sectional.
Hannah Manger and Rachel Klein each won four times for New Albany, but it was Lauren McCool who was the hero.
McCool beat out Layah Jones by .13 seconds for second place in the 200-yard individual medley and later edged Sarah Taylor by 1.51 seconds in the 500 freestyle for second place. Had those results flipped, Floyd would have continued its domination of its rival.
Meg Taylor won the 100 and 200 freestyle for the Highlanders and also teamed with Jones, Sarah Taylor and Amy McCormick to win the 400 relay.
In the boys' race, the Highlanders swept the top three positions in the 200 freestyle, the 200 IM and the 500 free. They also took the top two spots in both free relays to capture a 129-53 victory over New Albany.
Luke Lete won twice for the Bulldogs, touching the wall first in the 50 free and the 100 backstroke. Bryce Noonan won the diving competition with Noah Boone taking third for New Albany.
• Braun, Daniel lead Pirates to another win: Chris Braun had 32 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots and Aaron Daniel had his first career triple-double with 11 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists as Charlestown won in Madison over Shawe Memorial, 61-52 on Saturday.
The win was the second of the weekend for the Pirates after a 68-66 Mid-Southern Conference win over Eastern on Friday.
"They both played a lot of minute this weekend, but they're doing a phenomenal job," Charlestown coach Sean Smith said of Daniel and Braun. "They're both winners and both are doing a great job of helping the team win."
Justin Conrad and Eli Daniel added six points apiece for the Pirates, who outscored the Hilltoppers 37-28 in the second half after a 24-24 halftime deadlock.
Joe Mingione led Shawe (6-9) with 18 points.
NEXT: Charlestown (8-4, 3-1 MSC) at Brownstown Central (11-1, 4-0), Friday.

Former Darlington player Kris Taylor diagnosed with cancer
Updated 1:13pm Tuesday 4th February 2014 in Sport By Craig Stoddart, Deputy Sports Editor
FORMER Darlington player Kris Taylor has been diagnosed with testicular cancer, it has been announced.
Taylor now plays for Hednesford Town and the club made the announcement yesterday.
A statement read: "On Friday last week midfielder Kris Taylor was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Kris will be undergoing surgery this week and will be having further tests.
"I am sure that you will all join with us in wishing this hugely talented and popular player a full and speedy recovery, he has the full support of everyone at Hednesford Town Football Club at this time."
Taylor was with Darlington for the 2011-12 season, brought to North-East by Mark Cooper and was one of a handful of senior players who stayed despite the club falling into administration.
- Meanwhile, the dates of the eagerly awaited games between Darlington's fellow promotion chasers Warrington and Curzon Ashton have again moved.
Leaders Warrington will now host Curzon Ashton on Saturday, February 22, with the return game being on Saturday, April 12 – a fortnight before the end of the season.
Quakers face Curzon for the second time this season this Saturday, though the condition of the Heritage Park will no doubt be affected by Bishop Auckland playing two home games this week.
Bishop are scheduled to play there on Tuesday against Team Northumbria in the Northern League Cup, while on Friday Newton Aycliffe visit for a league match.
