Guinness Balks At Handing 100-Year-Old Marathoner His Record
Originally published on Tue October 25, 2011 12:33 pm
Fauja Singh, the 100-year-old man who completed the Toronto Marathon, is being denied his place in the Guinness World Records. Guinness says he has not been able to produce a birth certificate, which it requires to certify a record.
But Singh has a passport and a letter from the Queen of England herself congratulating him on his 100th birthday.
Here's the BBC, which broke the story, today:
Fauja Singh is said to hold a number of world records, but the BBC's 5 live Investigates programme has learned that none of these records has been ratified by Guinness World Records.
His British passport, showing his date of birth as being 1 April 1911, as well as a letter from the Queen congratulating Mr Singh on his 100th birthday, have been shown to the organisation. But it says these are not considered sufficient proof of age.
A letter from Indian government officials stating that no birth records were kept in 1911, and a statement from a former neighbour in India, have also been passed to Guinness World Records, but the organisation says these too are not evidence enough.
If you need a refresher, Mark brought us the news last week that Singh, an Indian-born British citizen, had run the 26.2 miles in just over 8 hours, 11 minutes.
Over at Runner's World, Mark Remy chastises Guinness for daring to slow down the Turbaned Tornado.
"A letter from the Queen isn't sufficient?" Remy writes. "Come on! Just... look at him! He's gotta be 100 years old! At least! Did you not see the man's beard?"
If Guinness can't be moved, the AP reports, his record will likely be recognized by World Masters Athletics.

Yeah. I just checked.. It was double over foot easy... With some nice clean shoulders!
that's double-over-toe, with occ. ankles.....
This morning was really fun. About knee to waist but super clean.
that's way too big for me, i think I'll just sit on the beach and let the real chargers have at it.
I saw the thread post title and assumed it was a different kinda of pumping ... like a pumping down the line thread .. all I was going to say to that was Dont Pump unless you wanna throw some airs
Hmmm... 2 hours in glassy small waves with a good friend isnt really fun? I surfed head high waves a week or so ago with 40 jackoffs who thought they were kelly slater but surfed like sh*t. Believe me that was much less fun.You have a very different standard of "really fun"

oh wow, didn't expect this awesome news anytime soon!
gotta give this a try sometime soon.
Does anyone know how this runs with KDE 4.5?
And how is the opengl support.... 2.1? 3.? or peehaps even 4.?

"Lower than 2.1", probably assuming you mean actual working functionality.
The GPU hangs seems to happen mostly when 2D and 3D drawing are both being used, so you probably don't want to be running a compositor yet.
The code push is basically the existing radeon and classic mesa HW drivers with changes and additions to let the code run on Evergreen hardware, so you should see basically the same functionality that you get on 6xx and 7xx today (plus some bugs).
Roughly GL 2.05, in other words
Is powermanagement implemented yet?
I've got it running, some visual glitches (that were mentioned already), quick X crashes when the compositor starts running.
Unfortunately, my computer roars like I'm running furmark, so I'll be back to fglrx in a bit
Note the new instructions starting with 2.6.35. There is also a "mid" profile now IIRC.
This has made /. and in the comment 'section' (lol) I read that Macs, for which Apple appearantly makes their own drivers for, only get to enjoy 40-50 of the performance compared to when Windows is ran on the same machine.
Now I remember Bridgman saying he still expected to get 70% the performance of fglrx with the floss drivers. So not only does Linux has or will get faster graphics than the proprietary driver stack of OS X, but also has or will get a faster floss graphics driver.
That means floss is already (or will be) murdering the insanely expensive proprietary Apple computers.
Fscking awesome!
Apple has, in the mean time, responded to this issue and is about to improve the situation. Hah! Poor Steam users!
Precise and Correct is fine.
Precise and Incorrect, not so much
If you drop the precision a bit your chances of being correct go up.
Can you talk to fglrx devs that they should initialize the gfx chip completely and do NOT rely on the default register states it has directly after boot? Currently it is impossible to switch from loaded radeon (with kms) to fglrx.
It is possible to do so when you want to switch from nouveau to nvidia. All you need is to run a script inside screen that stops X, uses this hack:
and then unload the oss modules:Code:for x in $(ls /sys/class/vtconsole/*/bind 2>/dev/null); do echo 0 > $x; done
this works for nouveau:
this unloads radeon, but fglrx will crashCode:rmmod nouveau ttm drm_kms_helper drm
But when you think of live systems it may NOT crash when you switch drivers!Code:rmmod radeon ttm drm_kms_helper drm
Isn't it funny when reverse engeneered drivers behave better than those written from open specs when you just want to load the other driver?
I hope somebody will try that tricky code... My nvidia script uses it when called inside screen.

- "Hissy, hissy, little snakey,
Slither on the floor
You be good to Morfin
Or he'll nail you to the door." - —Morfin Gaunt in Parseltongue[src]
Morfin Gaunt (fl. 1925-1943) was a pure-blood wizard descended from Salazar Slytherin. He was the son of Marvolo Gaunt, brother of Merope Gaunt, and uncle of Tom Marvolo Riddle, also known as Lord Voldemort. After he hexed Tom Riddle Sr. with painful hives, a Muggle who lived near his home in Little Hangleton because his sister was infatuated with him, Morfin was imprisoned in Azkaban for three years. When he returned home, his father and sister had already died. In 1943, Morfin met his nephew, who killed his paternal family and then altered Morfin's memory so that he believed he was the murderer. Morfin died in Azkaban, but not before Albus Dumbledore learned the truth about the Riddle murders.
Early life
- Tom Riddle: "...that cottage belongs to an old tramp called Gaunt, and his children. The son's quite mad, you should hear some of the stories they tell in the village—"
- Cecilia: "Tom, I might be wrong — but has somebody nailed a snake to that door?"
- Tom Riddle: "Good Lord, you're right! That'll be the son, I told you he's not right in the head."
- — Tom Riddle Sr. and Cecilia discussing Morfin[src]
Morfin lived with his father and sister in a shack near Little Hangleton. Generations of inbreeding in the House of Gaunt caused a defect in Morfin, rendering him mentally deranged and violent. He almost exclusively spoke in Parseltongue and frequently terrorised Muggles, including Tom Riddle Sr. after Morfin noticed his sister watching him with interest. He, like his father, was abusive toward Merope.[1]
First imprisonment
- "She likes looking at that Muggle. Always in the garden when he passes, peering through the hedge at him, isn't she? And last night... Hanging out of the window waiting for him to ride home, wasn't she? But I got him, Father! I got him as he went by and he didn't look so pretty with hives all over him, did he, Merope?"
- —Morfin to his sister about her infatuation with Tom Riddle Sr.[src]
Morfin's violent behaviour eventually led to the Ministry of Magic pressing charges against him; in particular for causing Tom Riddle Sr., a Muggle, to erupt with hives. Bob Ogden, head of the Magical Law Enforcement Patrol, was sent to summon Morfin to a hearing. Morfin greeted him with his wand in one hand and a knife in the other, hissing in Parseltongue that he was not welcome. Ogden failed to understand until Marvolo appeared and restrained his son. Taking the discussion inside, Ogden explained that Morfin was summoned to a hearing on 15 September, but trailed off upon hearing Tom Riddle and his companion Cecilia pass by, criticising the deplorable state of the Gaunt shack. Morfin then told his father in Parseltongue that his sister was infatuated with Riddle, causing Marvolo to start to strangle Merope. Ogden used a Revulsion Jinx to separate them and Morfin reacted by firing spells at the Ministry official, including a jinx that caused yellow pus to flow from Ogden's nose. When Ogden returned with reinforcements, he arrested both Morfin and Marvolo. Morfin received a three-year sentence in Azkaban while his father was imprisoned for six months.
While they were incarcerated, Merope married Tom Riddle, probably by using a Love Potion on him. She died soon after giving birth to a son, Tom Marvolo Riddle. Marvolo returned from prison to an empty house and died before his son was released from Azkaban. [1] When Morfin finally returned, he found his father dead. He, therefore, became the last heir to the Gaunt family and inherited the shack and the family signet ring, their last heirloom. Over the years, Morfin lived in a much more deplorable state than ever, as Merope was no longer there to clean the house. Morfin let his hair grow to extreme lengths and moldy food and dust appeared to cover the entire inside of the house.
Second imprisonment and death
- "Whatever Morfin Gaunt was, he did not deserve to die as he did; blamed for a crime he didn't commit."
- —Albus Dumbledore on Morfin's death[src]
Morfin's teenage nephew came to Little Hangleton to learn about his family in the summer of 1943. He met Morfin, who thought that this stranger looked "mighty like that Muggle", referring to the elder Tom Riddle. He told him of what transpired between the man and Merope, which infuriated Riddle Jr. to the point of seeking revenge. After stunning Morfin, Tom went to Riddle's home and murdered his father, grandfather, and grandmother with the Killing Curse, using Morfin's wand. He covered up his crimes by altering Morfin's memory, causing him to believe he was the killer.
When the Ministry of Magic investigated the crime, Morfin freely admitted to it and was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban. They checked Morfin's wand to see what its last spell was, and saw that it was the Killing Curse. Because of this evidence of Morfin's own, boastful confession, the Ministry saw no need to further investigation by means of Legilimency or Veritaserum. Before leaving, Tom also took the family signet ring from Morfin and wore it like a trophy at Hogwarts, which led Morfin to lament how his father would kill him for losing the ring for the rest of his life. It was eventually turned into one of Tom's Horcruxes.
Albus Dumbledore sought Morfin out in prison, and after difficultly extracting the true memory of his meeting with his nephew, determined that his memory had been tampered with. Dumbledore immediately used the true memory to appeal for Morfin's release from Azkaban. Unfortunately, by that point Morfin was weakened to such an extent that he died before he could be exonerated. He was buried beside the prison alongside the other prisoners who expired within its walls. [1]
Physical description
- "The man standing before them had thick hair so matted with dirt it could have been any colour. Several of his teeth were missing. His eyes were small and dark and stared in opposite directions. He might have looked comical, but he did not; the effect was frightening, and Harry could not blame Ogden for backing away several more paces before he spoke."
- —Harry Potter's impression of Morfin Gaunt while in Bob Ogden's memory in the Pensieve[src]
Morfin was described as having thick hair matted with dirt, missing teeth, and small dark eyes that stared in opposite directions. Harry thought such an appearance should be humourous, but instead Morfin looked frighteningly deranged.[1] Upon meeting Bob Ogden, a Ministry of Magic representative, Morfin brandished both a wand in one hand and a short, bloody knife in the other. After his sister's departure and father's demise, Morfin eventually let his hair and beard grow so long that it covered his eyes and mouth.
Personality and traits
Generations of inbreeding in the Gaunt family has caused a defect within Morfin, rendering him an overall violent and deranged individual. Morfin shared the same ideology with his father and liked to torture and hex Muggles, without caring about the law, the community, or anyone else, except for his father, whom he respected, because they were both violent and pure-blood supremacists. As Merope was a blood traitor, Morfin was very disrespectful and abusive to her. After her departure from the shack, he brutally insulted her and called her a thief for stealing the locket heirloom. Furthermore, Morfin was sadistic, as he liked to torture snakes, nailing them to the door, despite his ancestor's affinity towards them. At least one snake of his suffered this fate and he threatened a second with it. After having his memory modified by his nephew, Morfin ended up lamenting on losing the ring, saying nothing else for the rest of his life.
Magical abilities and skills
- Non-verbal magic: Morfin was highly skilled at hexes and jinxes, and could even do them nonverbally, a skill very difficult to master. He attacked Bob Ogden with a jinx that caused yellow pus to flow from his nose without an incantation. He also cast a curse on Tom Riddle which resulted in him being covered in painful hives, though it is unknown if this one was nonverbal. He also sent a flurry of non-verbal hexes at Ogden when Ogden sent a Relashio charm to stop Marvolo Gaunt from strangling his daughter.
- Parseltongue: As with the rest of his family, Morfin inherited the ability to speak to snakes from their ancestor. Morfin was proficient with the language, enough to communicate with his family and Ogden with it.
Morfin's relationship with his family was mixed. He seemed to tolerate and maintain a tenuous relationship with his father. Morfin was very loyal to Marvolo and the family ideals about blood purity as they were both pure-blood supremacists and Marvolo was gentle enough to converse with his son in Parseltongue. He also protected his father when Bob Ogden fired a Revulsion Jinx at Marvolo to stop him from strangling Merope. However, had Marvolo been alive when Morfin lost his father's heirloom ring, their relationship would most likely have turned into a strained one. Even though his father had died, Morfin still continued to lament how his father would kill him for losing the ring; of course, with Morfin's mental instability, this could have contributed to the delusional state he became in Azkaban. Nothing is known about Morfin's relationship with his mother since she is never seen or mentioned.
Morfin, on the other hand, was physically and verbally abusive towards his sister, Merope like his father was. He would enjoy seeing her being abused by their father and even mocked her romantic feelings of Tom Riddle Sr. when he noticed her watching him. He also laughed when Marvolo tried to attack her when he revealed that she was in love with the Muggle who lived on the hill over their village when Bob Ogden visited. After Morfin was imprisoned in Azkaban, Merope was very pleased to be free from her abusers. While incarcerated during his 3-year sentence, his sister married Riddle Sr., but Tom later left her while pregnant with their only child. Morfin even said that Riddle Sr. leaving Merope served her right for 'marrying filth' and robbing them of Salazar Slytherin's locket, and called her a little slut who dishonored him and Marvolo.
Tom Riddle Sr.
It is unknown if Morfin had met Tom Riddle Sr. in person, but it is known that Morfin watched him from a far distance before he hexed him because he noticed his sister romantically looking at him. He most likely hated him even more when he found out that the two had gotten married. Many years later, Morfin was framed for murder by his nephew by causing him to believe he killed his brother-in-law and his parents.
Tom Marvolo Riddle/Lord Voldemort
Morfin's relationship with his nephew, Tom Riddle is unknown. They did not know each other well since Riddle had spent his life in a Muggle orphanage and Morfin most likely never knew about his sister's pregnancy. Tom Riddle didn't care about Morfin and deliberately framed him of murdering the Riddle family. Voldemort also knew that he had encountered his uncle.In the summer of 1943, Morfin seemed to not know that he had encountered his half-blood nephew (the son of his 'blood traitor sister' and the 'filthy Muggle' he attacked 18 years earlier). At the moment he saw Riddle, he thought it was Tom Riddle Sr but then realised it wasn't because he suddenly started speaking Parseltongue. After having his memory modified by his nephew, Morfin did not remember anything from the night before and was wrongfully convicted by the Ministry of Magic for the murder of Tom Riddle Sr and his parents.
- The name Morfin is a variaton of "Morfey", an Anglo-French surname meaning "ill-omened," or "ill-fated".
Behind the scenes
- Morfin and his family and even his memory of his encounter with his nephew were omitted from the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. His entire backstory was ultimately cut from the film series.
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (First appearance) (Appears in flashback(s))
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Mentioned only as "Gaunts")

To determine if you are doing research involving human subjects, and therefore require UCAIHS review, both of the following conditions must apply:
1) You are doing research defined as "systematic investigation, including research development testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge".
For example, if you plan to disseminate the results for more than internal use (e.g. internal performance evaluation, classroom presentation) then it is research and
2) You are studying "a living individual about whom you obtain (1) data through intervention or interaction with the individual or (2) identifiable private information."
For example, if you are using live humans or data from live humans or parts from live humans, then you are using human subjects.
Just because a study uses humans does not mean that it constitutes human subjects research. The following activities generally do not require review by the UCAIHS as they do not fit either or both of the federal definitions for research and human subject:
· Data collected for internal departmental, school, or other Institutional administrative purposes such as: teaching evaluations or customer service surveys;
· interviews or survey research where questions focus on things, products, or policies rather than about people or their thoughts regarding themselves, such as canvassing librarians about inter-library loan policies or rising journal costs. Note: If you are asking a person's opinion, it could be human subjects research.
· Activities designed specifically for educational or teaching purposes, such as a research methods course where any data that is collected from and about people is part of a class exercise or assignment, but will not be used or disseminated outside of the classroom setting.
· Documentaries, oral history and biographical interviews do not constitute research as defined by the federal regulations as they are not generalizeable. Their intent is to document specific historical events or the experiences of individuals or communities over different time periods and generally do not lead to the development of a hypothesis in a manner that would have a predictive value (information obtained cannot be applied or generalized to another group). Researchers are advised to contact the UCAIHS to ensure that any proposed interviews actually constitute oral history research or biographic interviews.
· Research using cadavers, autopsy material or bio-specimens from deceased individuals is not human subjects research. Note: Some research in this category, such as genetic studies which also use private or medical information obtained from living relatives of the decedents may need IRB review. Please contact the UCAIHS for further information.
· Clinical case histories which are published and/or presented at national or regional meetings are not research if the case is limited to a description of the clinical features and/or outcome of a single patient and do not intend to contribute to generalizable knowledge.
· Publicly available data do not require UCAIHS review. Examples: census data, labor statistics. Note: Investigators should contact the UCAIHS if they are unsure if their data qualifies as "publicly available."
· Coded specimens and/or data sets that were not collected for the currently proposed projects do not need UCAIHS review as long as the investigator receiving the data/specimens cannot link the data/specimens back to individual subjects. If the data/specimen provider can ascertain the identity of the subjects (e.g. subjects' names, addresses, etc.), the investigator must enter into an agreement with the data/specimen provider that states under no circumstances will the identity of the subjects be released to the investigator.

There are several steps.
1. Take the UCAIHS human subjects tutorial or CITI Training
In addition to being required for everyone who conducts human subjects research, taking the training will answer many of your basic questions.
2. Go to the Human Subjects Forms & Guidance page and download:
3. Once you have read the submission instructions and guidance, check this page for other FAQs that might apply. Before submitting your application you should meet and review all your documents with your faculty sponsor (if applicable). If you are still unclear on the need for the type of IRB review, we recommend sending your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com. You are also welcome to attend one of the UCAIHS drop-in consultation sessions for guidance from the IRB staff. While NOT REQUIRED, many problems encountered by first time researchers can be avoided with a little help from the UCAIHS staff.
NO! There are three categories of review.
1) Projects that are minimal risk on non-protected populations that fit certain narrow categories of research may be eligible for exempt review. For further information on exemption review categories see
2) Projects that do not meet the criteria for exempt review but are also minimal risk research on non-protected populations may be eligible for expedited review. For a list of expedited review categories see
3) Projects that are more than minimal risk and/or on vulnerable/protected populations are not eligible for either expedited or exempt review and require a full board review. For further information on more than minimal risk, including examples see Convened/Full Board Review. If you are using vulnerable/protected populations there may be additional review requirements:
Maybe. If the material you plan to use was obtained from persons that are most likely still living, then you may need IRB approval. However, if you are using an existing data set, public use data or de-identified data, there is a separate application checklist you should complete. See the IRB website, for a description of qualifying data and complete the Not Human Subjects Checklist. If you have questions, contact the human subjects office at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If your research involves data and biological specimens, and is being conducted in the Colleges of Dentistry or Nursing, contact Jane McCutcheon (email@example.com) for further assistance.
If your project involves direct contact with the subjects you need a description of the research that could take the form of a consent form, or a project summary statement, (which is exactly like a consent form, except there is no signature necessary) or a short form project statement. Templates of the consent form, and short form are available under the forms section.
You must also submit:
Probably a bad idea. Because of changing federal requirements, the consent form and application get revised at regular intervals and if you use an old application/consent form, there is a good chance that you will have to re-do the application/consent using the new version. Please get the latest versions of the forms and guidances.
Explaining your research project in sufficient detail so that the reviewers can determine the level of risk. Remember that risk includes more than physical harm. For social, educational, and behavioral research risks include:
Psychological: risks that may be experienced during participation in the research and/or afterwards as a result of participating in the research. These risks include anxiety, stress, fear, confusion, embarrassment, depression, guilt, shock, loss of self-esteem, and/or altered behavior.
Social/Economic: risks that include alterations in relationships with others that are to the disadvantage of the subject, and may involve embarrassment, loss of respect of others, labeling with negative consequences, or diminishing the subject's opportunities and status in relation to others. These risks include payment by subject's for procedures, loss of wages or income, and/or damage to employability or insurability.
Legal: include risk of criminal prosecution or civil lawsuit when research methods reveal that the subject has or will engage in conduct for which the subject or others may be criminally liable.
Loss of Confidentiality: Confidentiality is presumed and must be maintained unless the investigator obtains the express permission of the subject to do otherwise. Risks from breach of confidentiality include invasion of privacy, as well as the social, economic and legal risks outlined above. Loss of confidentiality is the most common type of risk encountered in social and behavioral science research.
To the extent that you can reduce, eliminate, or in other ways mitigate these risks, your research will benefit, and the review process will proceed much more rapidly.
The UCAIHS generally allows IRB reviewers up to two weeks to review an application (including weekends) or ten business days, although review time may take longer especially around holidays, spring break and during the summer months. However, it is rare if a PI doesn't receive some type of communication from the UCAIHS within this time frame, unless the protocol requires a full board review. This may take more time since it requires the entire IRB committee to meet and discuss.
If you receive a request for modifications and/or additional information notice, please be aware that there will be time between your reply to the reviewers and an approval.
Investigators are always welcome to call 212-998-4808 or email email@example.com the UCAIHS with questions or concerns.
Most applications are logged by the UCAIHS and acknowledged within 24 hours of receipt (except on weekends or holidays). If you do NOT receive a confirmation email within 48 hours please call the UCAIHS office at 212-998-4808.
Although your student may be doing the research, as the faculty sponsor you are responsible for ensuring appropriate research design when human subjects are involved and for assisting in development of the application to the University Committee on Activities Involving Human Subjects. In addition, you have responsibility for his or her conduct in the field, adherence to the protocol, and any adverse events or problems that may occur. You should also be able to appropriately address any questions from subjects concerning their rights as a subject or potential violations of such rights.
There are three methods to deal with undergraduate student (classroom) research.
Research planned on non-prison populations can be continued if a subject becomes incarcerated, if the following conditions are met:
The IRB is notified within 72 business hours of the investigator becoming aware that a subject is incarcerated. Notification by email, followed by a signed hard copy is acceptable. Data collection must cease; the investigator may request that data collection continue and provide justification that it is in the best interest of the prisoner for the research to continue. (This will primarily be confined to interventional research). If granted, then data collection may continue during the period while the amendment is processed. This request should be made to the IRB.
An amendment is filed that includes an additional consent form with the necessary language to reflect the altered conditions (see link). Board review of the amendment is a full board review with the specially constituted board. No data collection may occur until the full board has approved the project.
TIMELINE: Because prisoner research requires a prisoner advocate, a minimum of two months should be allowed for research review. Please contact UCAIHS when submitting a new or amended proposal so that the representative can be scheduled into a meeting as soon as possible.
The UCAIHS will notify the principal investigator of soonest review date possible.
For the full guidance on prisoner research visit Prisoner Guidance
Category 1 Exempt Status Does not apply to studies where the investigator is taking part in the classroom activities OR if activities are introduced for the purpose of the proposed project and are not a part of the usual curriculum or activities.
Risks are of many kinds: physical harm, emotional distress, exposure to legal action, damage to employability, insurance qualification or standing in the community. One of the most significant sources of risk is a breach of confidentiality.
Unless a subject gives explicit permission as part of the consent process, everything that a subject reveals to an investigator or the research staff must be held confidential through both the discretion of the investigators and the physical protection of the information collected. Any breach of confidentiality, especially if it is of sensitive information (such as illegal behavior, undocumented immigration status, alcohol or drug use, sexual practices or preferences, presence of serious health problems) represents a potentially serious risk to a subject. At times, just the fact that an individual is part of a study can be a source of significant risk to that person, particularly if the study concerns sensitive topics such as health status or sexual behavior.
Instructors may submit an application for a blanket exemption for their class one of two ways, described below. In both cases, the applications will be reviewed by the UCAIHS sub-Committee as with all other exempt proposals.
The Progress Report should be a presentation of your research accomplishments during of the previous year, in lay language.
Are the current goals the same as you originally proposed? If the goals have not been changed, say so. If the goals have been changed, state the revised goals and the reason for the modification (this generally should be supported by modifications on file with the application or you should propose a modification in the progress report).
Describe how the research is achieving the goals during the current approval period and the results obtained. Include negative results. If technical problems were encountered in carrying out this research, describe how your approach was modified.
Emphasize the significance of the findings to the field and their potential impact.
Summarize your plans to address the goals during the next approval period. Include any important modifications to the original plans.
Human Subjects:
If not apparent in the body of your report, please describe how your use of human subjects has changed, if at all. Include any proposed changes to your recruitment procedures, data collection procedures, etc.
Submit an amendment to the existing approved application adding the individual(s). Choose a title that describes what the individual's role is (e.g., interviewer, research trainee, etc.). In addition, please complete Appendix A: Additional NYU Co-Investigators & Personnel and submit it along with the amendment application. Both the amendment application and Appendix A are available on the UCAIHS web site's Forms and Guidance page.
Added precautions are required to ensure that recruitment is not and does not appear to be coercive. In fact, researchers are strongly discouraged from using students/employees as research subjects.
Any person enrolled or likely to be enrolled in the near future in classes or seminars of the investigator, OR
As an alternative to delayed recruitment, for research on students, delayed data analysis may be acceptable: It is possible to use materials collected during the course but only after the students have received their grade or graduated from the program.
Because of the requirement for anonymity for both student/employee research, specific types of research do not meet federal guidelines, including but not necessarily limited to, interviews, including interviews by a third party that would be audio taped or video taped, focus groups, surveys containing identifiers or surveys in a population of insufficient size to guarantee anonymity.
Any person who receives a regular paycheck or other form of reimbursement from the investigator or the supervisors of the investigator,
Any person who has applied for a position with the investigator or subordinate of the investigator.
If there is no other subject population that would be suitable, then the following conditions must be met to meet federal regulations on potentially vulnerable populations:
Because of the requirement for anonymity for both student/employee research, specific types of research do not meet federal guidelines, including but not necessarily limited to, interviews, including interviews by a third party that would be audio taped or video taped, focus groups, surveys containing identifiers or surveys in a population of insufficient size to guarantee anonymity.
Students who pose their own research questions or test hypotheses should submit their own applications (request for exemption, minimal risk/expedited, or full review). Typically, because many students work on existing data sets and have no contact with human subjects, these applications will meet exemption criteria. If the application does not meet exemption criteria, it is likely that it can be reviewed under expedited review procedures.
It depends. Yes- if the student will be involved with human subjects or identifiable data obtained from humans. No- If the student is simply doing a paid job, will not be developing research questions or testing hypotheses and, thus, not co-authoring publications, has no contact with subjects, and does not have access to subject identifiers, it is not necessary to name the student on existing approvals.
Yes. All persons who have contact with subjects (thus, all interviewers), and those who have access to personally identifiable information, must be named on the human subjects application. As individuals are hired, they can be added via an amendment form. However, it is not necessary to name people hired to do specific tasks, even when these tasks require access to the data (e.g., statisticians), provided the data do not have identifiers and there will be no contact with subjects.
If the student co-authors papers for presentation or publication, the UCAIHS considers him/her to be equivalent to an investigator on the project and s/he should be named on the human subjects application. Submit an amendment to the existing application naming the student as a co-investigator.
Submit an amendment to the existing approved application adding the student. Choose a title that describes what the student's role is (e.g., interviewer, research trainee, etc.). In addition, please complete Appendix A: Additional NYU Co-Investigators & Personnel and submit it along with the amendment application. Both the amendment application and Appendix A are available on the UCAIHS web site's Forms and Guidance page.
Yes. In addition to faculty research human subjects committee review and approval is required for theses and dissertations, and some undergraduate research. Once you have decided on your research topic, read the information on this website about the three levels of review (exempt, expedited and full board). Contact the UCAIHS office with any study-specific questions and also review the appropriate sections of this website to help you determine which level is needed. Note that if a study requires review at a convened meeting (full board review) you must allow adequate time for the review (up to three months depending on the subject population, potential risks to the study subjects and if cooperating institutions are engaged in the research).
Yes. Students who pose their own research questions or test hypotheses using secondary data can (1) submit a request for exemption, expedited or full review, whichever is appropriate, or (2) receive clearance under a blanket application (prepared and submitted by the instructor) covering these projects (generally for exempt research). Contact the UCAIHS for more information about a blanket application.
No. The intent of a project is critical to determining whether human subjects approval is needed. If the intent is to teach a research skill (e.g., how to interview), and not to produce generalizable findings, then human subjects clearance is not necessary.

Hi, all,
Looking for some sounding-board advice or comments regarding this crazy plan I have: Since I can't find a 1/350 Jimmy Carter kit on the market, I'm thinking of trying to build one from two Bronco Seawolf class kits. As many of you will know, the J.C. is the third an final boat of the class, but it's a hundred feet longer than its sisters ships, Seawolf and Connecticut.
I bought two Seawolf kits but haven't started this yet. Mainly, I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to get that extra hull in there. I'll start by measuring carefully and then cutting through one of the kits' hulls, top and bottom, so that I have 100 feet of hull in 1/350 scale. That's easy. The problem is how to come up with a strong hull that will hold together for the actual model. My plan:
On the second kit, make cuts on top and bottom hull halves to allow insertion of extra hull from first kit. My idea is to then take a piece of posterboard of the appropriate length and roll it so it forms a cylinder just slightly smaller than the diameter of the sub -- basically,so that it would fit on the inside of the joined sub body cylinder. In essence,it would become a stiffener, to which the six pieces of hull could be attached -- top and bottom aft hull, top and bottom inserted hull, top and bottom forward hull. My thinking is this should offer enough stability so that the finished model holds together and, in fact, is actually sturdy.

Habitat for Humanity Spring 2013
The Spring 2013 Habitat team embarked on an adventure completely different from their previous trips. This year was fraught with challenges from the beginning, when the team learned that they would not be able to build in Columbus, GA as they have in past years and would have to find somewhere new. After months of planning, the officers found a place for the team in Albany, GA. Habitat for Humanity International graciously opened up some of their housing in Americus, GA. The team worked in Albany for four days alongside other groups from Juniata College and Ashland University. The three schools formed bonds as they worked on two handicap-accessible homes. The WAC team traveled back to Columbus on Thursday night to work with Columbus Area Habitat for a day, finishing homes that they had worked on during the Spring 2012 trip. Before returning home, the group was finally able to attend their first dedication ceremony for the home of Albert and Patricia Hartman, whose home the team worked on in Spring 2012.

Money stolen from library twice
The Dell Rapids Carnegie Public Library fell prey to two burglaries when authorities say someone stole about $70 from a cash box last month.Sgt. Mike Walsh with the Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office said personnel at the Dell Rapids library, which is in the midst of a utility relocation project, reported missing money twice in a four-day span.A man Walsh described as a stocky white male wearing a beard, believed to be in his mid-20s, entered the library on the evening of Monday, April 28 during store hours and took a small amount of money from behind a desk when staff wasn't looking.The second theft at the library occurred sometime between the evening of April 30 when the library closed for the day and the morning of Thursday, May 1 when the building reopened to the public. Library director Brittany Risty said the thief broke into the library through a basement window. About $35 was taken.Walsh wouldn't say if he thought the same person or people perpetrated the thefts because no description of the suspect was available after the second incident.The thefts are under investigation.City administrator Justin Weiland said the library's petty cash box is being kept at City Hall while the utility relocation project is completed.

Pastor's Column: The two directions of love
Jesus replied, "The most important one is this – love the Lord your God with all your heart. The second most important commandment is this: love your neighbor as you love yourself." Mark 12:29-31It was a point-blank question that garnered a point-blank answer. In a world where hundreds of regulations governed daily life, the natural concern was, "Which is the most important rule?" It was a scribe who asked the question, a man whose job was to copy and recopy Scripture. Such repetition made him an expert in such matters. He tested Jesus' expertise-and wasn't disappointed.The first and foremost command centered on how a person related to God - one's vertical connection. The relationship with God came from love, a love that involved the whole person. But Jesus added another command, a horizontal connection. Loving God was not complete unless one loved his neighbor to the same degree he loved himself. A bicycle wheel is a remarkable piece of engineering: a single hub connected to a rim by spokes. The rim is useless without the hub; the hub cannot function without the rim. Connecting it all together are spokes. You are the hub and are connected to God and those around you by an infinite number of spokes. What you do with those connections makes a difference in the kind of life you live.Your love of God involves every part of you: your emotions (heart), your being (soul), your thoughts (mind), and your efforts (strength). Such love is a choice.You have no control over what others think of you, but you have absolute control over what you think of others. Love is the key, and that love is not based on the worthiness of your neighbors. You can choose to love them as you love yourself. It's not easy, but it is necessary for their good and for yours.One final thought – what you think of God determines what you think of people; what you think of others governs what you think of God – and that determines what you think of yourself.

Certainly a good day!
Embarassingly enough, I missed the beta because I forgot to check my PM's. Glad the game is out now though
Phoronix: Savage 2 Ships For Linux
In addition to CodeWeavers announcing the availability of their new CrossOver Games product to play popular Windows games on Linux, S2 Games has today announced the availability of the Linux client for its "Savage 2: A Tortured Soul" game. Savage 2 is a fantasy-themed game that is a combination of a first person shooter, real-time strategy, and action role-playing game. This is the sequel to "Savage: The Battle For Newerth", which was also ported to Linux some years ago.
Certainly a good day!
Embarassingly enough, I missed the beta because I forgot to check my PM's. Glad the game is out now though
That's of course good news for me and other linux gamers =)
Very cool, I'll have to pick up the demo and give it a try. I liked the first Savage so this will be interesting.
It got a 74/100 ranking in the german GameStar. I may give it a try...
That's a great thing, but what I really loved is when a really major title like World of Warcraft (I know there was a native client during the beta, I know it works with wine), the upcoming Warhammer: Online, Valve's games, or the Battlefield series are getting ported. Blizzard (WoW, upcoming Starcraft II) and Valve (HL+mods, HL2+mods, ...) would be the most important guys.
I agree. Big Linux players like Novell, Canonical or even Google should convince them to offer Linux versions for all of their products. This would be quite a smart move, as games are mostly the only thing that keeps windows from being wiped off the hard-drive of the typical power-user. We'll see, though.
Well in my opinion, Microsoft/Windows is the only thing holding PC Gaming back at this point. As the years go by it gets progressively worse. I won't get into it since that would be suited for a completely new thread, but it is what it is.
In my not so humble opinion, Microsoft has been holding all computing, home and office, back for some time now.
But, like you said, that rant's not suitable for this thread. Only bad thing about this game would be that it's going to eventually end up being a time sink for myself once I get a few projects wrapped up.
I think microsoft has its importance in the buisness. Or is that "had"? Inyhoo This game looks awesome! I love the 3 genres so this should prove to be quite interesting. If it works out well I'll be converting my friends and entertaining discussions on this. I'll writeback probably tomorrow and see how it went.
Well I just tried it, and I ran into a bad bug. Player models are completely invisible for me, game runs fine other than that but its not very playable since I can only see the weapons but not the players.
I read around on their forums and saw that it is a ATI bug.
