BLAIR OPENS FASTRAK NE TITLE DEFENSE WINNING OVER $3,000 IN SEASON OPENING "SUPER NATIONALS" WHILE GENCO EARNS $1,200 FOR B FEATURE WIN AS A ROARING KNOB RECORD 47 CARS PARTICIPATEBy Mike LeoneMarch 31-April 1, 2012 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE(Markleysburg, PA)…The Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC Pace Performance FASTRAK Northeast Late Model Touring Series opened their sixth season at the beautiful and scenic Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex on Saturday and Sunday. The event was Part I of II for the inaugural "Super Nationals". Despite rain showers in the forecast beginning with Friday's open practice, drizzle through much of Saturday, and rain holding off until just after the races were completed on Sunday, 47 cars from Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, New York, Maryland, and Canada competed in race #1 of 25 of the 2012 season. Max Blair began his quest at his unprecedented fourth FASTRAK Northeast Touring Series title in grand fashion leading all but the first lap to capture the 40-lap "Super Nationals I" A feature on Sunday afternoon. Blair had to fend off two of the region's best Super Late Model racers in Sammy Stile and David Scott for the $3,000 win plus earned an additional $120 in bonus monies and the $100 Genesis Shocks "Top Dog" certificate. While his 13th career Northeast Touring Series win tied him atop the all-time standings with Mike Pegher, Jr., amazingly it was Blair's first Touring victory in over nine months! "I'm thrilled to start off 2012 this way and to be able to defend the championship," expressed the 22-year-old Centerville, Pa. racer. "It means a lot to win at Roaring Knob as we've really struggled here over the years. I just kept looking at the scoreboard and counting down the laps. I knew Sammy and David were back there, and the restarts were a tough deal, but I just had to stay on the bottom."Wayne Robertson grabbed the lead from the pole-position with Blair, sixth starting Stile, eighth starting Mike Pegher, Jr., and Scott filling out the top five after one lap. Blair made what would be the winning pass on lap two driving to the inside of Robertson in turn two. After losing two spots on the initial lap, Scott was able to gain one back on lap three taking fourth from Pegher. It was a five-car race for the lead on lap five. The top spots remained unchanged as the leaders approached lapped traffic on lap 12. The first caution occurred with 13 laps scored when Joe Moyer spun. Back under green flag conditions, Stile took over second from Robertson before Justin Tatlow slammed the fence slowing action with 14 laps completed. Seventh starting George Kowatic got a great restart when action resumed racing past Scott, Pegher, and Robertson for third. Scott and Kowatic raced hard side-by-side on laps 19, 20 and 21 before Scott edged back ahead for third on lap 21 and Robertson for fourth on lap 22. While the battle was on for third between Scott, Robertson, and Kowatic, Blair and Stile pulled away. After eight green flag laps, John Flinner Jr., who was subbing for Josh Holtgraver, slowed to bring out the caution with 22 laps scored. When green replaced yellow, Scott continued his way back to the front taking second from Stile.With 15 laps to go, Blair, Scott, Stile, and Robertson distanced themselves from the field. Scott began to close in on Blair on lap 27 and appeared like maybe he'd have a shot to overtake the leader; however, a spin by Billy Stile III with 31 laps scored would ruin his chance. Two more cautions would slow action over the final nine laps as Stile and Scott swapped second and third three more times during that period. Their battles allowed Blair to go unchallenged to his first career Northeast Touring Series win at Roaring Knob in his Specialty Products/Rohrer Trucking/Moody & Son Welding/Genesis Shocks-sponsored #111.Sammy Stile, who made his first FASTRAK start, edged Scott- the 2009 Northeast Touring Series Champion. Robertson held off a great run by fellow New York racer Chad Ruhlman to earn fourth. Ruhlman, who also made his first ever FASTRAK start, made his way forward from the 19th starting spot in the Terry Suppa-owed #4s.After getting as high as third, Kowatic dropped to sixth at the finish over Roaring Knob standout John Over. Will Thomas III came from 16th to eighth in his first ever Roaring Knob start. Butch Lambert came back from an early spin to finish a solid ninth. Damian Bidwell, who won the inaugural K&N "Cold Air Induction Dash" on Saturday, earned the Precise Racing Products "Pedal Down" Hard Charger on Sunday as he passed 15 cars to finish 10th!After taking a year off, Jason Genco returned to FASTRAK in grand style capturing the 25-lap non-qualifier feature. Genco came from the eighth starting spot for the $1,200 victory holding off FASTRAK rookie Brad Kling. "This pays well and we can really use the money," stated the Jamestown, New York driver. "We put on the right tires; I bided my time and waited for the car to come me. I have to thank everyone for helping out and the fans for coming out."Pole-sitter Shane Weaver led the first five laps until a caution for a spin by Mike Opalinski slowed action. When racing resumed, Louie Krushansky, Tim Sears, Jr., and Jamie Brown passed Weaver for the top three spots. On lap 12, it was three-wide for the lead with Sears and Kling moving into first and second. A caution with 12 laps completed was what Genco needed as when green replaced yellow he entered the mix taking the third position. Following a caution with 15 laps completed, Genco made his winning pass as Kling followed in second. Three more cautions slowed Genco's run to the finish for his biggest career victory in his Jamestown Heating & Air/Kia of Jamestown/Kozy Corner Cleaners/Big Chief Carpetland-sponsored #29J. It was Genco's third career "Wheelman" Bonus Event Challenge Series as he became the all-time winner in the now third year program and takes the early point lead. Kling was a close second in his debut in the John and Janet Powell #100. Nico Dabecco, who started ninth, had a great run finishing third after passing Russell Baird, Jr. for the spot on lap 16. Dabecco earned the $100 highest finishing Pace Performance "Futures Cup" bonus from defending champion Ryan Montgomery. Jamie Brown was fourth with Andy Spooner fifth after starting 13th. On Saturday, Mike Pegher, Jr. set fast time and earned the $500 High Gear Speed Shop fast qualifier award. Pegher also won one of the $40 Sprout's Pick-A-Part heat races and on Sunday earned a free Hoosier Tire for being the last running car on the lead lap at the finish presented by Utsinger's Towing.Other $40 Sprout's Pick-A-Part heat race winners on Saturday were Scott, Joe Martin, Blair, and Over. Over also earned an additional $100 from Slavic Signs & Graphics for winning the fifth heat race. Martin was the recipient of the Brake Man "Tough Brake of the Night" after crashing hard on the final lap of the feature on Sunday in his brand new Wylie Race Car. B main winners on Sunday were Montgomery and Billy Stile III.Special thanks to Doug Horton of High Gear Speed Shop for gathering approximately $1,600 in bonus monies over the weekend! The additional contributors not already mentioned included Billy Stile Motorsports, Bobby Lake Motorsports, Brighton Speedway, Cossell's Auto Sales, K2 Engineering, Russell Baird Racing, SBC Trucking, Schaeffers Racing Oil, Smithley Racing, Stile Marine, Stile Tax Service, and Tom Seiger Refinishing.The 47 cars was an all-time record for FASTRAK at Roaring Knob, which began its fourth season under FASTRAK! The previous high car count at Roaring Knob was 40 for a Northeast Touring Series event on October 8, 2010."We can't thank everyone enough for their support of the inaugural Super Nationals," stated sixth year Northeast Co-Director Vicki Emig. "From owner Rick Jones taking the chance on this event, to the great turnout of drivers for being the earliest opener ever despite a non-conducive forecast all weekend, and Doug Horton and all of the additional contributors who added support of the event. The racing was great all weekend! Hopefully Super Nationals II in October will be even bigger!"

A profession at the tipping point
Just returned from the Australian School Library Association (ASLA) Biennial Conference where I presented a keynote session — A profession at the tipping point: time to change the game plan
Abstract: The nationalisation of K-12 education in Australia has the potential to have a Jupiter Effect (prediction that an alignment of the planets would create a number of catastrophes) on school libraries and the profession. Government-driven initiatives and projects herald an education 'two-speed economy' for teacher librarians – boom or bust. The report, School libraries and teacher librarians in 21st century Australia, and data from 386 submissions and 13 public hearings provide sufficient evidence that school libraries and teacher librarianship are at a tipping point. This address will present a view on the impact of the nationalisation of K-12 education and explore strategic directions for the profession and school libraries. What will be the future if you do not take charge of your own siesmic shift?

Shares of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN - 260.28) trekked about 2.6% higher yesterday, thanks to some upbeat analyst attention from RBC. As a result, approximately 51,000 calls crossed the tape by the time the closing bell rang, which was about double the equity's average daily call volume.
Leading the pack was the December 260 strike, where more than 10,900 calls changed hands at a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of $2.72. A large chunk of the volume traded at the ask price, while open interest rose overnight -- pointing to buy-to-open activity. In order for traders to secure a profit on these freshly established bullish bets, the stock must climb north of $262.72 (strike price plus the average premium paid) by front-month expiration this Friday.
However, it's worth noting that the December 260 strike saw a fair amount of put action, as well. Nearly 8,500 of these contracts were exchanged on Tuesday -- a healthy portion of them at the ask price, suggesting they were bought. This put strike also saw an overnight rise in open interest, denoting the initiation of new positions. Since the VWAP for the contracts arrived at $2.77, these speculators are betting on AMZN to retreat below $257.23 prior to Friday's close.
From a wider sentiment scope, AMZN puts have been favored over calls lately. The equity's 10-day International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) put/call volume ratio sits at 1.24, indicating puts bought to open have outpaced calls during the past two weeks. This ratio is just 10 percentage points shy of a yearly acme, meaning traders have been snapping up puts over calls at an almost annual-high clip.
Similarly, Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) for AMZN checks in at 1.41, with puts outnumbering calls among the front three-months' series of options. This ratio ranks higher than 88% of comparable readings gathered during the past year, reflecting a stronger-than-typical preference for puts over calls.
The bearish sentiment toward AMZN in the options pits is a stark contrast to the upbeat attitude among the brokerage bunch. The online marketplace boasts 19 "strong buys" and one "buy" endorsement, versus 10 "holds," and zero "sell" suggestions. This vote of confidence is hardly surprising, given AMZN's year-to-date gain of more than 50%. The stock has also bested the broader S&P 500 Index (SPX) by nearly seven percentage points during the past month. Looking even closer at the charts, AMZN managed to close yesterday's session atop the $260 level for the first time since Oct. 4 -- giving Tuesday's December 260 call buyers a slight advantage over the put buyers.

Green Day should have been honored to play at the opening night of the iHeart Music Festival on Sept. 20, but instead, they used their time onstage to bash Justin Bieber! Watch and read on for more details!
Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong was peeved to find out that his band was being rushed off stage with a "one minute warning" at the end of their set during opening night of the iHeartRadio Music Festival.
"I'm going to play a f—ing new song," Billie said upon seeing the warning. "F— this sh–. Gimme a f—ing break. One minute left. One minute f—ing left. You're going to give me one minute."
After claiming that Green Day has been around since 1988, Billie continued his tirade, making sure everyone knew him and his band shouldn't be treated like newbies such as Justin Bieber (who wasn't even at the show).
"I'm not f—ing Justin Bieber, you mother—-ers. You've got to be f—ing joking. I got one minute. One minute left. Now I got nothing left."
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Was Billie's rant acceptable?
UPDATE: Billie Joe Armstrong has checked himself into rehab.

I don't blame him for getting mad like that, their time on stage was cut by 30 minutes for Usher. Billie's proved he's not some pussy who'll do exactly what everyone tells him to, he's a rockstar. I hope his wife, kids and all the Green Day fans out there are proud of him for standing up for himself and not taking any crap. Mentioning Justin Bieber was him just making a point, that's all.

I don't blame him for going off. I love Green Day! I saw them in concert and they played almost ALL their songs in 11 show…their encore was like 2 hours itself! You tell them Billie! You aren't a newbie…and for the ones that have an issue with it…this is how a lot of bands talk at their shows. lol

This was totally necessary. Though they may not be the tip top musically creative structured band; Tey made a name for themselves slaving on the road to become the legends they are. Those who have never ever been to a punk or rock show for that matter; it's totally casual to break things. It's all for the name of punk rock and what the embody and if they are trying to keep their roots by doing such.. live and let be. Atleast they write from their hearts compared to many that are chainganged by producers and record labels… Look around your city and find artists that are slaving away trying to make a name for themselves as they are being masked and hidden away by so called " top 40″ to which many kids are being afficionados of.

it sure the hell was! i stayed up late (btw i have an 18 month old who will be up at 6am) so i could watch them and only them. allowing usher to go 30 min over into green day time. why should green day get cut short then. and his point about justin bieber wasn't bashing him but pointing out that the band he is a part of has been around longer than bieber has been alive. basically, they did what punk rock bands do. why be pissed that they did exactly what everyone knows he would do. gah.

IP Group has developed its own proprietary methodology for systematically commercialising intellectual property and technology. The methodology consists of three core components – deal flow, business building and capital.
Our model has enabled us to build a portfolio of around 90 companies that have been created based on research from our partner universities or, in certain cases, from select sources outside these partnership agreements.
IP Group pioneered the concept of the exclusive long-term partnership model with UK universities and now has arrangements covering twelve of the UK's leading universities, including those under its commercialisation agreement with Fusion IP plc. The Group's specialist in-house sourcing team works with our partners to identify promising research and to create and build businesses around this research. IP Group utilises its proprietary hypotheses based methodologies to assess new opportunities and decide which to progress. These techniques are also used to monitor progress and shape the evolving strategy.
During the early stages of an opportunity's development, members of the Group's team work closely with its founders to shape its strategic direction and frequently take an interim commercial management role until the business reaches a sufficient stage of maturity, and has the resources, to widen the leadership team.
IP Group uses its specialist early-stage in-house executive search consultancy, IP Exec, to recruit experienced and high calibre individuals to lead its developing businesses alongside founders and IP Group team members, who continue to provide strategic guidance in a non-executive capacity. The Group has initiated two innovative programmes to accelerate company growth, working with CEOs and company boards to improve performance.
The Group also provides operational, legal and business support, including company secretarial, to its companies with a view to minimising the most common administrative factors that can contribute to early stage company failure.
IP Group has an experienced management team with extensive contacts in industry, government, academia and finance together with strong in-house expertise in life and physical sciences and in building high growth businesses.
IP Group's extensive expertise in systematically identifying and commercialising intellectual property combined with its inside knowledge of both industry and finance have enabled the Group to create a formidable track record of consistently delivering excellent results for all of its stakeholders.
IP Group provides capital to its portfolio companies from its own balance sheet but also manages a number of venture capital funds including IP Venture Fund, IP Venture Fund II and the North East Technology Fund which, subject to investment guidelines, can provide further additional sources of capital. In addition, the Group works with a wide network of co-investors that can provide further capital alongside the Group.

"IP Group has a strong sense of commitment to the business in which they invest, positioning themselves as partners in your company and are in it 'for the long run.' IPG made their first investment in RVL in 2006 when the company was first spun out of QM. They have stood shoulder to shoulder with us as we grew and matured, offering both financial and professional support at each stage of the company's development. IP Group take the time to understand you and your business and very much work with you as a member of the team. I have also been deeply impressed by the fairness they have exhibited in their financial dealings…fairness is not a concept normally associated with venture capitalists."

Hurricane Sandy's on its way. As of 2 a.m. the megastorm - whipping north at 14 miles per hour just 425 miles southeast of New York City-is officially expected to be one of the nation's worst hurricanes, according to updates from the National Hurricane Center. And if you're anywhere on the eastern seaboard, you're most likely feeling the effects of it: winds up to 75 miles per hour, slashing rain, or perhaps, a sudden calm. The storm's expected to turn inland today bringing surges of water as high as 11 feet near Long Island. Flooding and strong winds could cripple transportation and leave millions without power along the east coast and even further inland. "The size of the storm is going to carve a pretty large swath of bad weather," Rick Knab, director of the National Hurricane Center said. "This is not just a coastal event."
But, you don't have to feel helpless in some of Mother Nature's most unforgiving weather. An emergency disaster supply kit put together from a few basic household items can make all the difference as you wait out the storm. Even if you don,t have time to run to the store, gather what you can around the house from this list (suggested by the Federal Emergency Management Agency) and stash them in a secure place. Chance are, you have a lot of these products lying around, and they could come in handy. Here's what you need, Water one gallon of water per person, per day for at least three days (for drinking and sanitation), Food: at least a three-day supply, per person, of non-perishable food, Battery-powered radio for weather alerts, and extra batteries, Flashlight and extra batteries, First aid kit, Whistle to signal for help, Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation, Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities, Manual can opener for food, Cell phone and cell phone chargers, Local maps, Duct tape and plastic sheeting to create some sort of shelter.

Does This Look Like The Face Of A Mississippi Mayor Who Embezzled $170,000 In Taxpayer Money And Was Forced To Come Out Of The Closet When He Spent Some Of That Money At Canada's Premier Gay Sex Shop?
Source – A Mississippi mayor accused of misusing taxpayer money to buy personal items, including at a Canadian sex shop, was indicted Tuesday on embezzlement, false pretense and making fraudulent statements charges. Southaven Mayor Greg Davis has been under scrutiny since November 2011, when the Mississippi Auditor's office told him to repay $170,000 for allegedly improper billings, including travel, food, liquor and one bill for $67 at Priape, described on its website as 'Canada's premiere gay lifestyle store and sex shop.' Authorities said Davis has paid back some of the money, but still owes about $73,000. After the allegations of improper spending came to light, Davis announced that he is gay and said he and his wife had divorced. Some of the money that the auditor's office ordered Davis to repay had been spent on counseling for Davis' family. In October, Suzann Savage Davis filed a lawsuit against 26-year-old hairdresser Jansen Fair for $1million over claims his gay affair with her husband broke up her marriage.
Thought you could sneak the gay sex shop in there huh? Just sandwich it between a bunch of other seemingly normal embezzlement charges like gas and liquor. Hide the Penthouse in between the Sports Illustrated so to speak. Didn't think anyone would notice that you spent $67 at Canada's premiere gay lifestyle store and sex shop, ay? Wrong. The jig is up, Davis! Hand over the money and dildos! Surrender the cash and anal beads! You won't be embezzling or shopping at luxurious rubber cock stores anymore!
But how about this dude's wife suing the boyfriend claiming that he's at fault here. Like he gayly seduced her husband or something. Umm I don't think that's how it works. Don't think Greg Davis went in for a trim one day and left craving balls off the chin. And you're suing for $1 million? Look honey I know gay men have considerably more disposable income than us heteros but a million from a hairdresser? Seems a little outlandish to me. I think your family has already done enough money grabbing from people who can't afford it.
PS – Jansen Fair has to be the gayest name in the history of the universe.

Gluten-Free Girl's Mini Nacho Bites
by Healthy Eats in Gluten-Free, Healthy Recipes, February 2, 2011Shauna James Ahern, better known as Gluten-Free Girl, is sharing her favorite gluten-free Super Bowl recipes with us! Check back later this week for her super-delicious shepherd's pie.
Who doesn't love nachos? This is the world's best food for parties. However, there's something annoying about nachos. Some chips are laden with cheese, so much so that you can't see the chip under there. Others are bare and brown, usually the ones at the bottom of the pan. What to do?
Make mini nachos. Top each chip with your favorite nacho toppings. It might take a few more minutes to prepare than traditional nachos, but in the end, every chip will be nacho nirvana.
Mini Nachos
1 poblano pepper
1 Anaheim pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 bag tortilla chips, preferably the round ones
1 cup roast chicken, shredded
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup black beans
1 cup each shredded cheddar and Monterey jack cheese
1 avocado, peeled and chopped
smoked paprika for sprinkling
Roasting the peppers: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Coat the peppers in the oil. Put the peppers in large skillet and slide it into the oven. Roast the peppers, turning them with tongs about every 10 to 15 minutes, until the skins are mostly black, about 30 minutes total. Don't let the peppers burn. Remove the peppers from the oven, put them in a large bowl, and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
When the peppers have cooled, peel them with your fingers. Remove the stem and seeds and chop up the peppers.
Making the nachos. Put the tortilla chips in a single layer on a baking sheet. Top each chip with a bit of the roast chicken, salsa, black beans, cheeses, roasted pepper, and avocado pieces. Sprinkle a bit of smoked paprika on top.
Slide the tray into the oven and bake until the cheese on each chip is bubbly. Serve immediately.
(You're probably going to make tray after tray of these during the big game, so you can easily double or triple the ingredients here. And of course, you can top these any way you like.)
TELL US: What are you making for the big game?

I have discovered some new items from your web page about desktops. Another thing I have always believed is that computers have become something that each household must have for most reasons. They offer convenient ways in which to organize the home, pay bills, shop, study, hear music as well as watch television shows. An innovative strategy to complete most of these tasks has been a notebook computer. These computers are mobile, small, highly effective and mobile.
After examine just a few of the blog posts on your website now, and I truly like your manner of blogging. I bookmarked it to my bookmark website record and might be checking again soon. Pls check out my web site as properly and let me know what you think.
Thanks for discussing your ideas in this article. The other issue is that whenever a problem develops with a laptop motherboard, persons should not have some risk associated with repairing that themselves for if it is not done right it can lead to permanent damage to all the laptop. It is almost always safe just to approach your dealer of your laptop for the repair of motherboard. They've already technicians that have an competence in dealing with notebook computer motherboard difficulties and can have the right analysis and accomplish repairs.
Just a smiling visitor here to share the love (:, btw great style .
I do accept as true with all the ideas you have offered for your post. They're really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too brief for beginners. May just you please prolong them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.
I have observed that in digital cameras, unique devices help to concentrate automatically. Those sensors associated with some surveillance cameras change in contrast, while others work with a beam associated with infra-red (IR) light, especially in low lighting. Higher specs cameras sometimes use a combination of both methods and could have Face Priority AF where the dslr camera can 'See' your face while keeping your focus only upon that. Thank you for sharing your thinking on this weblog.
I actually wanted to develop a word in order to express gratitude to you for these great advice you are showing on this site. My prolonged internet lookup has finally been rewarded with wonderful ideas to go over with my company. I would admit that many of us website visitors actually are truly fortunate to live in a fantastic network with very many awesome professionals with useful points.

Sparking Congressional Interest in NICHD Research
On June 2, the Friends of NICHD, co-chaired by APA's Karen Studwell, co-sponsored a congressional briefing with the Ad Hoc Group for Medical Research Funding featuring Duane Alexander, MD, Director of NICHD. The purpose of the briefing was to educate policymakers and their staff about the congressionally authorized National Children's Study (NCS) and the impact it will have on NICHD's budget. The proposed study plans to enroll a cohort of 100,000 children to determine the physical, social, and behavioral environmental influences on child health and development. Dr. Alexander explained that in order for the study to go forward, NICHD would require significantly more resources in FY2005 and beyond to fund the study and also preserve its other research programs. Given the current budget outlook for FY 2004 and FY2005 funding, it is unclear whether there will be adequate funds to begin enrollment.
APA Psychologists Testify at Tobacco Control Hearing
On June 3rd, three APA psychologists testified before the House Government Reform Committee on "Reduced Exposure/Reduced Risk Tobacco Products: An Examination of the Potential Public Health Impact and Regulatory Challenges". Jack Henningfield, Dorothy Hatsukami and Lynn Kozlowski were all pitted against tobacco industry leaders, Michael Szymanczyck (Phillip Morris) and Richard Verheij (U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co.) and all were asked to address four key questions:
A number of non-tobacco products have entered the market in recent years designed to provide sources of nicotine other than cigarettes. These include water, gum, nasal sprays and patches. In your opinion, would products such as these be feasible for long-term use for those unable to quit smoking altogether?
In what ways does the current regulatory structure hinder the development of these nicotine products?
Should the federal government be encouraging greater use of these nicotine products? How could it do so?
In your opinion, do reduced risk tobacco products have a place in the country's tobacco control efforts, or should efforts be restricted to medicinal nicotine or non-tobacco products?
Science Policy staff are always pleased to serve as a sounding board and otherwise help psychologists prepare testimony for Congressional hearings. We are pleased to note that Drs. Hatukami and Kozlowski are both alumni of an invitational Science Advocacy Training Workshop held in the fall of 1997 which APA devoted to tobacco control policy issues.
AHRQ Director Carolyn Clancy Honored by Friends of AHRQ
On June 4, APA co-sponsored a reception honoring the appointment of Carolyn Clancy, M.D. as Director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). As a member of the Friends of AHRQ, APA has been supportive of dramatic funding increases for the agency, which among other initiatives has taken leadership on research to reduce human error and enhance patient safety in healthcare settings. Immediately preceding the reception, Dr. Clancy participated in a Congressional briefing to review the AHRQ patient safety research portfolio. During that briefing, Lucian Leape, M.D., the physician most often associated with leading the patient safety movement, lauded the role of human factors research and cognitive psychology in changing the way healthcare professionals viewed medical error and specifically cited APA Fellow David Woods' seminal contributions to the field.
More information on AHRQ's medical error research portfolio is available from the AHRQ website.
Capitol Hill Reception Highlighting NSF-Funded Researchers Includes Two Psychologists
On June 17, both APA and the Federation of Behavioral, Psychological, and Cognitive Sciences (of which APA is a member) showcased psychological research funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) at a Capitol Hill Exhibit and Reception. The event, sponsored by the Coalition for National Science Funding, drew over 270 attendees, including eight Members of Congress: Reps. Frank Ballance, Jr. (D-NC), Lois Capps (D-CA), Howard Coble (R-NC), Vernon Ehlers (R-MI), Dale Kildee (D-MI), Jim Kolbe (R-AZ), Mike McIntyre (D-NC), and David Price (D-NC). Also in attendance were Dr. Rita Colwell, Director of NSF, and Dr. Kathie Olsen, Associate Director for Science at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. APA's exhibitor, Dr. Linda A. Jackson from Michigan State University, presented results from her "HomeNetToo" project, which examines the effects of home Internet use on low-income families. The Federation highlighted research by APA member Dr. Barbara Landau (the Johns Hopkins University) and her colleague Dr. Jim Hoffman (University of Delaware).
APA Participates in Annual DoD Research Lobby Events on Capitol Hill
Each year the Coalition for National Security Research (CNSR) holds a Lobby Day, during which the science community heads to Capitol Hill to advocate for the research programs sponsored by the Department of Defense (DoD). This year the blitz lobbying events and visits were spread over two days in early June. Over 170 members of Congress, their staff, DoD personnel and scientists enjoyed an evening reception, and APA member Gerald Krueger joined Science Policy staffer Heather Kelly at a breakfast featuring Senator Pat Roberts (R-KS), Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Sen. Roberts spoke forcefully about the need for and his commitment to a significant investment in science and technology (including psychological research) within DoD. CNSR member organizations, which include universities and science associations, made over 30 visits to congressional offices, and continue to work with staff in those offices as the defense appropriations bills start to move through committees in the House and Senate.
Research Appropriations Process Begins-Funding Increases Will Likely be Lower for Fiscal Year 2004
The National Institutes of Health would receive an approximate 2.2% increase-- $27.66 billion-- under the Fiscal Year 2004 spending bill marked June 19 by the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies (Labor/HHS). The full House Appropriations Committee approved the bill on June 25 with few changes.
The Labor/HHS Subcommittee was allocated $138.04 billion for discretionary spending, an increase of $3.68 billion, or less than 3%, over FY 2003 levels. The House Labor/HHS bill provides NIH a $682 million increase (2.2%) from the agency's FY 2003 appropriation of $26.9 billion. However, because of one-time costs in FY 2003, the House Appropriations Committee leadership said that the actual increase is closer to 7% than 2.2%. It was unclear at press time how those additional funds would flow to the budgets of NIH institutes. NIH spokespeople have said that a 2.2% increase would allow an increase of just 0.2% in the number of new and competing research grants.
The Senate Subcommittee on Labor/HHS, chaired by long-time NIH supporter Arlen Specter (R-PA), also marked its version of the legislation on June 25. The Senate bill includes a $1 billion increase for NIH, a 3.3 percent increase. The full Senate Appropriations Committee, chaired by Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK), approved the legislation on June 26. Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) stated that members would seek to add more funds to the bill through amendments once the bill is brought to the Senate floor, which is expected in mid-July.
APA and its coalition partners have been lobbying this spring for a 10% increase in NIH funding for FY 04, arguing that after five years of 15% increases, it would be difficult for NIH to transition smoothly with much less. In the past, the Labor/HHS bill has been the last or one of the last of the thirteen appropriations bills to be enacted, but this year it looks as if it will be one of the first.
Senate Encourages Behavioral Research at NIH
Each year both the House and Senate Appropriations Committees issue reports that accompany their versions of the coming year's spending bills. The Public Policy Office works with those committees to suggest language, or topics for language, on behavioral research at various NIH institutes. Although the suggestions in the reports do not carry the force of law, they are closely studied by administrators at NIH and demonstrate the Committee's interest in and support of various areas of research. For that reason we read through the massive report as soon as we get it to see which of our suggestions made it into print.
Here is a sample of some APA-inspired language from Senate report 108-81, accompanying the bill to fund the US Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies for Fiscal Year 2004.

NBN a driving force for telco job cuts: M2
PUBLISHED: 28 Apr 2014 12:04:01 | UPDATED: 29 Apr 2014 08:28:37PUBLISHED: 28 Apr 2014 PRINT EDITION: 29 Apr 2014David Ramli
READ NEXT:M2 Group chief executive Geoff Horth says the national broadband network's construction is the driving force pushing telcos to cut staff and costs.
M2 Group, which owns well-known telecommunications companies Dodo, iPrimus and Commander, on Monday announced plans to make about 150 workers redundant.
Mr Horth said the company was running two weeks of consultation with staff in an effort to redeploy some of those affected into other parts of the business in a sensitive manner.
Most of the roles will be sent to call centres in the Philippines while some senior positions will be moved from Melbourne to Hobart, Tasmania.
Goldman Sachs analyst Raymond Tong told clients in a note the move could save about $8 million a year with a one-off redundancy cost of between $3 million and $5 million in the second half of 2013-14.
Mr Horth said M2 could not give specific guidance before the consultation ended but added, "I don't think what [Goldman Sachs] is predicting is unreasonable."
"We've significantly grown the size of our workforce in the last couple of years and that does cause duplication," he said.
M2 is not the only telecommunications company cutting jobs and sending roles abroad. Telstra and SingTel-Optus have also cut costs in recent years and Perth-based iiNet has warned an efficiency drive is set to begin.
M2's Mr Horth said the renewed push was partly thanks to telcos preparing for a post-NBN world.
NBN Co aims to replace Telstra as the dominant wholesaler of phone and internet services – all of which will be provided at the same quality and prices.
"We've got good organic and acquisitive growth in this business but this is increasingly becoming a pure commodity industry," he said.
"Fundamentally I'd have to say it's a bit of a pre-cursor to the NBN as well because the realisation that we all become resellers in an NBN world is a very important one."
"So to make good margins when you're sweating someone else's infrastructure you just have to be very, very efficient."
Mr Horth also rejected concerns M2 Group could be out-spent by iiNet, which has more than $350 million for acquisitions and growth.
"I think we could compete with iiNet as a buyer but I don't think either or us would be in a position to compete with TPG Telecom," he said.

- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- Rinse turkey inside and out under cold water and pat it thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season cavity with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt and season outside with 3 tablespoons of kosher salt. Cover and refrigerate turkey overnight.
- Remove turkey from refrigerator and pat dry with paper towels. In a bowl, blend butter, sage, and shallot, and season with salt and pepper. Starting at cavity end of bird, slip your hand between skin and meat, loosening skin over breast, and around legs. Spread shallot-sage butter under skin, covering as much of breasts, and legs as possible. Scatter celery, carrots, onion, and turkey neck in a large roasting pan and set turkey on top; let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spread bread cubes on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a large bowl.
- Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. In a large skillet, heat olive oil until shimmering. Add celery and onion, and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and barely browned, 7 minutes. Add apples and giblets and cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are just tender and giblets are cooked, 5 minutes. Stir in parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add to bread along with chestnuts and 2 cups of warm stock. Toss well and season stuffing with salt and pepper; let cool.
- Pack turkey cavity and neck with stuffing, then tie legs together with kitchen twine. Roast for about 45 minutes, until richly browned. Baste with any accumulated pan juices and tent breast with foil. Pour remaining 2 cups of stock into roasting pan. Turn oven temperature down to 325 degrees F and roast turkey for 2 to 2 1/2 hours longer, basting every 30 minutes; remove foil for last 30 minutes of roasting. Turkey is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted in an inner thigh registers 165 degrees F. Transfer turkey to a carving board and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Scoop stuffing into a bowl. Strain pan juices into a heatproof bowl and skim off fat. Carve turkey and serve with stuffing and strained pan juices.

The biggest hitch to teff, a summer-annual grass, has been getting dairy and beef producers to try it, says a Stockton, CA, grower.
"But once they feed it, they really like it," says Nick Mussi. He and his family, who own L & R Mussi Farms, grew 850 acres of the warm-season grass last year and plan to increase that acreage to 1,200 acres this coming season.
They first planted 80 acres of teff grass – a fast-growing, high-yielding crop largely used by horse owners – three years ago. The next year, they increased to 250 acres.
"It's a good double crop," Mussi says. "We'll harvest the wheat and double-crop after that, and there's not another warm-season grass that works in our area other than sudangrass. But sudan is hard to cure in our area, exporters aren't paying for it, and dairies don't like sudan.
"You have more options with teff," he adds. It can be fed to horses, dairy or beef. Cuttings with good green color can be put up as small bales and more bleached-out hay can be harvested as large bales – each sold to different markets.
His first teff grass harvests were priced comparable to what oat hay was going for. "But there's more value in teff. Oat hay is probably 9% protein and teff's about 13%. If you throw teff out there, a horse or cow will clean it up. With oats, if it's coarse, they'll leave the stems and just pick the grain out."
Mussi baled half of last year's teff into small squares and the rest into large squares. But he wishes he'd produced more small square bales. "The horse market was really good, and you can get a premium compared to the big bales.
"Some of our neighbors tried it last year, and I think, this year, a lot more will."
His goal is to plant the grass by early July. "Some I'll plant after oats and get it in in June. But if I go for grain on the wheat, then I try to get it planted before the Fourth of July. I'll harvest probably 30-40 days after planting and every 28 days after that." Three to four cuttings are taken depending on planting date, and total yield is about 4 tons/acre.
It's not an easy crop to cut, he found. Mussi and his brother, Nathan, and cousin, Garrett, also own Triple M Custom Farming and had a selection of sicklebar and rotary disc mowers to choose from. But those machines weren't cutting the teff clean enough. After being persuaded to test a Krone Big M 420 mower-conditioner, they decided it worked too well on the teff not to buy it.
Teff can be hard to establish, too, say Mussi and Mark Marsalis, New Mexico State University (NMSU) Extension forage specialist. Growers who know how to plant alfalfa, however, should have little problem with the small-seeded teff. It needs to be sown into a firm seedbed at less than half an inch deep, Marsalis says.
Most of the interest in teff in New Mexico has been from small-acreage alfalfa growers in the Middle Rio Grande Valley area, south of Albuquerque. They use flood irrigation from the Rio Grande River to produce small square bales for the horse-hay market.
"Teff fits well in a system as a rotational crop between alfalfa stands" to help avoid autotoxicity problems and provide quality hay, he says.
"It can also utilize residual nitrogen in the soil and is a relatively drought-hardy crop. Return of forage per inch of water appears to be very good."
Producers who need beef-cow hay should consider rotating to sorghum-sudangrass, because it produces more – 6 tons/acre or more – and costs less than teff, Marsalis says.
"But if you want to stay in the horse market, teff is a better option," he adds. "Teff may also be a more palatable and nutritious option for the dairies that have been reluctant to incorporate much sorghum into their rations."
Currently, NMSU is interested in researching optimum planting dates for teff.
"We've observed that it's pretty slow to start emergence and early growth. If the soil temperature is too cold – below 65°F – it won't start very fast." Last year's late-spring freezes hit before and after teff was planted, around May 8, but before emergence. Even though the soil temperatures were around 60° or slightly higher, emergence "was delayed and the plants were slow getting going," he says.
"A mid-May window is probably on the early side for our part of the world in some years. So we're looking at the first of June or mid-June as being an optimal time." Even June 1 provides 3.5- to 4-ton yields for the season, but more planting-date studies need to be done, he cautions.
"Multiple years of plot work and commercial hay production show that the 3- to 4-ton window is a realistic yield goal for the year. This could be increased with the longer growing seasons in the southern part of the state," he says.
On the east side of New Mexico, where irrigation water has to be pumped from depleted aquifers or lakes, teff could serve as a water-conserving alternative crop. So says Leonard Lauriault, NMSU forage research agronomist.
"Once it's established, if it's on an irrigation system, it will produce equally well with about half the water you would apply to alfalfa," he says.
He sees teff as following a crop that comes off in June, like spring oats. If planted next to alfalfa, the teff could "share" irrigation water with the legume.
"Alfalfa is much more water-use efficient in the spring," Lauriault explains. The first half of the growing season is when growers should fully irrigate the legume. Around mid-June, they could redirect the irrigation system to teff to produce about the same yield as alfalfa would, but with half the water.
Marsalis says that this strategy could also work in the Middle Rio Grande Valley where water supplies from irrigation districts may be reduced late in the season due to water storage shortages.
"A short irrigation season has been predicted this year as a result of low snowpack and low reservoir levels. Teff gives hay producers an option to produce more with less water," he says.

"I continued writing Titanic in Jules Feiffer's class," he goes on, "and cut out a section where the Titanic docked at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York. Feiffer, who liked the play, said it was a prepubescent temper tantrum of children learning about their parents' 'doing it,' but I think the play is probably too messy to be thematically enclosed. It clearly has to do with children's anger at their parents -- they kill them, after all -- with parents manipulating and seducing their children, and with a certain fear and disgust with sex.... In any case, even though the play is sort of a mess, I think it's a funny and evocative mess, and I'm happy to have it in print."
Okay, but should we be happy to have it on-stage? Few antics endear a small theater company more to this critic than its reaching beyond the usual suspects in choosing plays to produce. I'd much rather see an obscure Durang from time to time than yet another production of Sam Shepard's Buried Child or David Mamet's American Buffalo, which have become chestnuts of the small-theater circuit. That said, the show at the FPT is uneven at best, although highly entertaining, at least for the first 40 of its roughly 75 minutes. Once the ship hits the iceberg (or something to that effect -- I won't give it away here), the comedy begins to sink. That's partly Durang's fault. By this point, he's emptied his bag of outrageous tricks, and his resolutions of dramatic shenanigans are mere formalities.
At the FPT, however, only Ivonne M. Pelaez as Victoria is consistently up to the demands of sophisticated tastelessness. Dressed in a lace evening gown that evokes some of Joan Crawford's early sartorial choices, Pelaez brings an appealing vulnerability to Victoria's craziness. She's drunk on her own delusions. The rest of the cast has moments -- some of them intentional -- in which they hit their marks. Jaki Levy seems as dazed as his character Teddy. Amanda Danielle Becker as Lidia comes across rather too intensely in the small FPT black box. With all those mammals in her nether regions, she could underplay the role to great effect. Her other characters suffer in that they're merely variations on Lidia. Andre Todd Bruni is understated as Higgins, the sailor, which is fine. John J. O'Connor's captain speaks with a Boston-Irish accent, an interesting effect if not exactly a conscious acting choice. And as the clueless Richard, Paul Thomas looks the part, even when his timing is off.
Director Bryan Sears's staging has all the charm of a hastily put-together back-yard production, if back-yard productions had strobe lights and sound systems. Sears and Paul Thomas manage to squeeze three discrete sets, all composed of tacky furniture, into the FPT's tiny performance space. And last but not least, with its spirited and, uh, loud imitation of a luxury liner hitting an iceberg, X-Ray Spex lives up to the cool and unusual aspect of its name, even if Durang's Titanic is not quite shipshape.
