New report finds nationwide stagnation in filling hundreds of lethal loopholes
in vital state highway safety laws
Safety advocates urge Congress and President-Elect Obama to compel states to enact low-dollar, high-results uniform traffic safety laws to reduce annual 41,000 deaths and $230 billion economic losses.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Monday, January 12, 2009) – As state legislatures across the nation open their 2009 sessions this month, Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety (Advocates) today unveiled its 2009 Roadmap to State Highway Safety Laws report that graded each state and the District of Columbia on their passage of 15 model traffic safety laws related to teen driving, drunk driving and the required use of seat belts, child booster seats, and motorcycle helmets.
The sixth annual Roadmap Report found that no state in the nation has adopted all 15 proven-effective measures to reduce traffic crash deaths and injuries, and that a total of only 11 new laws out of 344 existing legislative gaps were enacted by the states in 2008. Go to www.saferoads.org for the complete 2009 report.
The 2009 report graded states on their adoption of 15 model laws divided into four issue categories:
Adult Occupant Protection (2 laws)
* Primary enforcement seat belt law that allows law enforcement officers to stop and ticket someone for violating the seat belt law rather than a weaker secondary enforcement law that requires the officer to observe another traffic violation first.
* All-rider motorcycle helmet law that requires motorcyclists of all ages to wear a helmet.
Child Passenger Safety (1 law)
* Child booster seat law that requires children from age 4 through age 7 to be placed in a booster seat.
Teen driving Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) law that phases in the full driving privilege in a three stage process and allows for primary enforcement of the law: (5 laws)
* Learner's Stage: A six-month "holding period" that requires beginning teen drivers to be supervised by an adult licensed driver at all times and to be citation-free before graduating to the provisional or intermediate stage
* Learner's Stage: A minimum 30-50 hours of adult supervised driving with no reduction in required behind-the-wheel practice time for teens who take a drivers education course.
* Intermediate Stage: A nighttime driving restriction provision that that prohibits unsupervised driving from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
* Intermediate Stage: A passenger restriction of no more than one non-family teen passenger.
* Learner's and Intermediate Stages: A cell phone restriction that prohibits the use of cellular devices (handheld and hands-free) by novice teen drivers, except in the case of an emergency.
Impaired Driving (7 laws)
* Child endangerment law for driving drunk with children in the motor vehicle.
* Repeat offender penalties that comply with federal standards in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, which include a minimum one year license suspension, motor vehicle impoundment or installation of an ignition interlock system, and alcohol addiction assessment.
* Open container ban in the passenger area of motor vehicles. The state law must match the requirements put forth in the federal TEA-21 law, which includes possession and consumption and allowing for primary enforcement.
* High blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) drivers would be subject to stronger penalties for exceeding a .15 BAC.
* Mandatory BAC testing for all drivers – killed or surviving – in crashes involving death or serious injury.
* Sobriety checkpoints that are authorized by state law and conducted by law enforcement agencies.
* Ignition Interlock Device law that mandates their installation in vehicles of all drunk driving offenders – first-time and repeat offenders.
In each of the four issue categories, states were given one of three ratings based on how many optimal laws they have: Green (Good); Yellow (Caution - state needs improvement); and Red (Danger - state falls dangerously behind). Placement in one of the three ratings was based solely on whether or not a state had adopted a law as defined in the report, and not on any evaluation of a state's highway safety education-enforcement program or on fatality rates.
Only 11 optimal highway safety laws enacted in 2008:
* No state passed a primary enforcement seat belt law;
* No state passed an all-rider motorcycle helmet law in spite of the fact that motorcyclist fatalities have more than doubled over the past 10 years. 12 states unsuccessfully tried to repeal their helmet law;
* Only four states adopted optimal booster seat laws protecting children through age 7 – Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Utah;
* Only 4 of the 116 gaps in teen graduated driver's licensing (GDL) laws were filled legislatively in the nation – Connecticut (supervised driving), Louisiana (supervised driving), Minnesota (teen passenger restriction), Virginia (supervised driving); and,
* Other than the three ignition interlock device laws enacted by Alaska, Nebraska and Washington, no state passed any other of Advocates' basic impaired driving laws.
"This is a very dangerous and deadly broken record and the wait is literally killing us," said Judith Lee Stone, President of Advocates. "Another year has passed during which more than 41,000 people perished and millions suffered injuries in traffic crashes, and again we find that state legislatures have obstructed adoption of proven effective highway safety laws to help bring this public health and safety epidemic under control."
The 2009 report found that four states – Arkansas, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming – were the worst performing states (red) because they have the fewest of the most fundamental lifesaving laws. Additionally, 14 of the 31 states in the yellow category are perilously close to being rated as poor. These states on the edge are Arizona, Kansas, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Several states have achieved green ratings over the years by adopting most of Advocates' basic model laws (AL, CA, DE, DC, HI, IL, LA, ME, MD, MI, NJ, NY, NC, OR, TN and WA). However, progress has slowed in most of the green states in recent years.
Green States need a Boost:
The following states have green ratings, but still have serious gaps in several of the 15 optimal highway safety laws. No action has been taken in these states over the past three years to close those remaining loopholes:
* Alabama: Needs an optimal booster seat law, and has several gaps in teen and impaired driving laws
* District of Columbia: Has several gaps in teen and impaired driving laws
* New Jersey: Has several gaps in teen and impaired driving laws
* New York: Needs an optimal booster seat law, and has several gaps in teen and impaired driving laws
* North Carolina: Has gaps in teen and impaired driving laws
* Tennessee: Has several gaps in teen and impaired driving laws
* Washington: Has several gaps in teen and impaired driving laws
"This year's report is not as much about 'green-yellow-red states' as it is about how little progress there has been in plugging legislative loopholes and coming together as a nation to wage a serious battle against tragic and costly traffic deaths," said Advocates president Stone.
In 2007:
* Highway crashes continued to be the leading cause of death of Americans ages 4 to 34 as another 41,059 people were killed and nearly 2.5 million others were injured.
* More than half (54%) of passenger vehicle occupants killed were unbuckled.
* 6,552 fatal crashes involved young drivers ages 15-20, resulting in 7,512 deaths.
* Motorcycle deaths increased for the 10th year in a row as 5,154 motorcyclists died – the highest number since 1975. This rapidly escalating death toll now accounts for 13 percent of all traffic fatalities.
* 1,233 children and youth ages 8 through 15 were killed in motor vehicle crashes.
* 376 children ages 4 through 8 were killed and another 50,000 were injured in crashes.
"The lack of any real progress in reducing death and injury as lifesaving bills are abandoned and junked year after year in state capitals points to the critical need for federal leadership," said Jacqueline Gillan, Vice President of Advocates. "At critical times over the past three decades, when states ignored proven public health measures to reduce highway deaths and injuries, Congress and the White House exhibited bipartisan leadership to bring about uniformity in state traffic safety laws."
In 1984, Congress passed and President Reagan signed the National Uniform Minimum 21 Drinking Age law. In 1995, Congress and President Clinton closed a loophole in underage drinking and driving by enacting the Zero Tolerance Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) law. And, in the year 2000, Congress and President Clinton established a nationwide uniform .08 percent blood-alcohol limit in every state.
"All three federal measures, with the political muscle of a sanction within a reasonable time frame, resulted in each state quickly adopting these laws and no state losing a single dollar of federal funds," Gillan said.
The unfinished agenda in 2009:
* 25 states still need an optimal primary enforcement seat belt law;
* 30 states still need an optimal all-rider motorcycle helmet law;
* 29 states still need to adopt an optimal primary enforcement booster seat law covering children ages 4 through 7;
* 49 states and DC do not protect teen drivers with an optimal graduated driver's licensing program; and,
* 36 states and DC are missing more than one critical impaired driving law.
"Passing highway safety laws is not only socially responsible, it is fiscally prudent. They are highly effective public health interventions that shield vehicle occupants from death and injury in crashes." Linda C. Degutis, DrPH, the Immediate Past President of the American Public Health Association, Board Member of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, and Associate Professor of Surgery and Public Health at Yale University.
"The 400,000 lives claimed in just the past 10 years is a chilling reminder of the scope of this epidemic," Dr. Degutis said. "There are few public health problems that are this large, and when you add in injuries at a rate 62.5 times fatalities, the annual number of tragic and largely preventable incidents is in the multi-millions. We have a perfect blueprint for reformers in the incoming Administration. Adoption of these basic laws in each state will lower health and other economic costs at no financial cost to taxpayers or governments."
Patty French is a Fredericksburg, Virginia, mom who spoke of her repeated efforts to urge the Virginia General Assembly to pass a primary enforcement seat belt law after her son Greg, age 23, died at Christmas 1994 following a 3-1/2 year coma caused by a car crash in which he was not buckled up. The Virginia legislature has yet to approve this lifesaving law.
"In addition to this indescribable loss, costs to the state for Greg's medical care were nearly $1 million. It took us ten years to pay back what we owed, between $75-100,000," French said. "I have spent too many winters in our state capital pushing the Virginia General Assembly to pass a primary enforcement seat belt law because primary enforcement – rather than a weaker secondary enforcement law – results in far more people buckling up and far fewer people dying. Yet, only half the states and DC have enacted this lifesaving law. Last year, no state – including my own --adopted this law, even with the promise of extra federal funds to reward states that pass it."
French pointed out that between 1996 and 2003, 4200 people were killed on Virginia's roads. A primary enforcement seat belt law in Virginia would have prevented an estimated 300 of those deaths.
"We are now at a crossroads. And while some state legislators and governors have tried to
push passage of safety laws, the pace is too slow, the political obstacles too large, and the problem
too great to wait another 10, 20, or 30 years when millions of lives are at stake," said Advocates vice president Gillan. "Federal incentive grants alone are not working and there is an urgent need for bold new federal action and leadership," Gillan said, as Congress this year takes up multi-year, multi-billion dollar surface transportation legislation frequently referred to as the SAFETEA-LU Act (Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users).
"During the five-year authorization period of SAFETEA-LU it is expected that more than 200,000 people will die on our highways and nearly 13 million more will be injured, despite the largest financial investment in our nation's surface transportation system history," Gillan said. "Any significant reduction in motor vehicle deaths and injuries will require Congress to address this tragic and unnecessary mortality and morbidity toll. We can't wait any longer and 2009 is the year for federal action."
Also addressing the National Press Club news conference today were two of the nation's most respected traffic safety law enforcement leaders. Captain Thomas Didone is a veteran Montgomery County (Maryland) Police Department district commander who has dedicated much of his career to highway safety law enforcement and education. On October 20, 2008, Commander Didone's son Ryan, age 15, was killed as a passenger in a crash involving a newly-licensed 17-year-old classmate who lost control of his car and struck a tree before catching fire. Ryan was not wearing his seat belt.
Assistant Chief Patrick Burke of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C. is the leading voice for traffic safety laws and their enforcement in the nation's capital. "This new report is an important and well-taken reminder that those that are green can be greener and there's plenty of room for improvement for the Yellow and Red states," said Chief Burke. "Together, we can save a lot more lives, prevent a lot of needless misery, and preserve those precious budgetary dollars – especially in these tough economic times -- that are sorely needed to build healthier communities across our country."
Advocates today publicly thanked a "Legislative Honor Roll" of state legislators who introduced and committees that acted on optimal highway safety legislation in their 2008 sessions. The list of legislators, along with the complete 2009 Roadmap to State Highway Safety Laws report, an electronic version of the entire press kit, and the replay of today's webcasted news conference can be found at the Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety website: www.saferoads.org.

Friday, April 16, 2010
September 2, 2008 was the most exciting, exhausting and emotional day in the life of Abby and David Hudgins. Abby was to give birth that day to the couple's first born child, a boy they named Horus Lee.
It was supposed to be an easy delivery for this professional dancer. But after more than ten hours in the delivery room, doctors decided her son was too large to be born vaginally and took her into an operating room for a cesarean section.
"The doctor told us the baby was getting tired and of course he didn't want that to happen. So we had the c-section," Abby remembered. "From that point on, everything happened so fast."
Horus Lee Hudgins was born at 3:55 a.m. on September 3, 2008. Shortly after his birth Horus stopped breathing.
"After he was delivered, the baby's heart stopped beating. They had to resuscitate him. He eventually cried. I remember them flashing him to me and then they whisked him off to the NICU."
The doctors were concerned Horus' lungs might collapse. So he was taken to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Norman Regional Hospital. Lesa Lewis, RN, was assigned to baby Horus and from the moment she saw him, she loved him like her own. That meant the world to Abby.
"As soon as I woke up from recovery, I went to see my little baby. He was hooked up to so many wires but Lesa was right there with him. She was taking care of him and made sure I got to hold him right away."
It took nearly a week for Horus to get strong enough to leave the hospital, but thanks to the help and comfort from Lesa, he did. Now Horus is a healthy, happy and rambunctious 19-month-old.
The Hudgins have made a donation to the Norman Regional Health Foundation's Guardian Angel program in honor of Lesa. The Guardian Angel program is a way patients can say thanks to a health care provider by making a monetary donation to the NRH Foundation. The employee is recognized among his or her peers. The donated funds go to support the award winning health care programs the Health System provides the regional community.
"As soon as I learned about the Guardian Angel program I jumped at the chance to thank Lesa," said Abby. "Lesa was a light spot in a very dark time for us. We're forever grateful."

Know Your Milk Variety
Milk that you enjoy and you can be processed into delicious foods not only come from livestock (cows).
When you go to the supermarket, then you will find a variety of milk labels in a variety of arts. In Indonesia itself, synonymous with cow's milk dairy products because they are now widely marketed in liquid, powder and various derivatives. In fact, there are many other dairy products from cows that you can though be a mixture of various delicious dish.
In addition to increasing knowledge in terms of cuisine, learn about various other kinds of milk can help you to provide nutrients to the baby or relatives who are allergic to cow's milk (or other livestock). Five of this product can be an alternative for you to produce a dish that is no less tasty than cow's milk.
1. Almond Milk
Milk made from almonds can you mix on breakfast cereal, oatmeal, and smoothies. Almond milk lactose free and contain a lower amount of calories than skim milk (non-fat cow's milk) and contain no saturated fat. This milk can be a healthier alternative. Frequent abdominal pain when drinking cow's milk? Almond milk can be an alternative.
2. Soy Milk
Milk is already widely known in Indonesia. Made from soy beans are fresh. Soy milk contains a lot of vegetable protein and calcium. Some people tend to fear of consuming soy milk and do not like the smell is unpleasant. Yet soy milk is a healthy beverage for consumption is not excessive. If you want to enjoy it or process it as a food ingredient, choose organic soy because it is free of GMOs (genetically modified organisms).
3. Rice Milk
You can enjoy the rice in another dish, the rice milk. Milk is still difficult to find in Indonesia, but this rice milk can be processed into a variety of delicious dish, with the same taste delicious with cow's milk. Although it was delicious, rice milk does not contain proteins, carbohydrates, vitamin B12, vitamin B3, as well as calcium. For the vegetarians, people with autism and those who are allergic to cow's milk, can make rice milk as an alternative to additional nutrients.
4. Hemp Milk
Milk is made from the hemp plant (or a kind of playing soft fibrous plants). Although raw materials are often used for textiles, was playing also can be processed into dairy products. The advantages of playing milk, contain no cholesterol, 10 essential amino acids, omega-3, protein and calcium. Consuming milk can be a good choice for those who are allergic to dairy or vegetarian. It was no less tasty than cow's milk. Besides in addition to cereal, hemp milk can be served in waffle.
5. Coconut Milk
For this one, you must have often enjoyed in a variety of delicious typical dish of Indonesia. Yup, the coconut milk or coconut milk. Coconut milk is a natural ingredient of coconut that contain good fats. Additionally, coconut milk also contains potassium and vitamin B12. Not hard to cultivate coconut milk, you can make curry, or mix in a variety of beverages. But be careful, because coconut milk is often mixed with cooking oil, excessive consumption can raise levels of bad cholesterol.
With various types of milk on top, you should more carefully examine the carton of milk on supermarket shelves. Unlike milk, nutrition and also different ways to acquire them

This paper presents various numerical techniques for the analysis of the one dimensional wave equation with variable coefficients, for governing materials with spatially varying thermal, inertial and elastic properties. Approximate time domain Finite Elements (FE) and frequency domain Spectral Finite Elements (SFE) are formulated, being computationally efficient, accurate and fast convergent compared to any other existing tool. The Sturm-Liouville problem corresponding to this wave equation is discussed and numerically solved using Prüfer transformation, and the effect of inhomogeneity on the natural frequencies and mode shapes is elicited. As an application, Functionally Graded Materials (FGM), where the material properties are tailored to vary in spatial directions, are chosen, and the longitudinal wave propagation in an FGM rod due to high frequency impact load is studied. As a possible application of FGM, attenuation of waves reflection at a joint of dissimilar materials is investigated. The notion of inhomogeneous waves, used in dissipative media of more than one dimension, is retained in this one-dimensional approximation.

Weddington gym rated tops to best gymnasts
Inside an unassuming building in the Weddington Activity Center, the walls are lined with banners heralding awards and achievements and the building is filled with children of all ages, training and working to achieve almost superhuman feats in the sport of gymnastics.
Looking around the building it is obvious why the club was recently named national club of the year by USA Gymnastics, the sport's governing body.
The club has produced 15 gymnasts in the last two years who have received full scholarships to some of the top colleges and programs in the country. Head Coach Luidmila Shobe was named North Carolina coach of the year in 2007 and Region 8 coach of the year in 2010. In 2011 she was inducted in the Region 8 Hall of Fame. Region 8 consists of eight states in the Southeast: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee.
The club recently sent 11 gymnasts to the Level 10 Junior Olympic National Championships. Of the 11, Grace Glenn won the all-around and balance beam titles and received a silver medal on vault in her age group. Her twin sister Anna Glenn received the silver medal on balance beam in her age group. Diana Chesnok received a silver medal on vault and a bronze medal on balance beam in her age group.
Grace said her "big goal" was to win nationals this year.
"It felt pretty good," she said. She said she was not excited at first, the accomplishment did not really hit her until later.
Level 10 is the highest junior olympic competitive level in women's gymnastics. After Level 10, athletes may test or qualify for elite, international competition, which is the highest level in the sport.
Women compete on four events in gymnastics: floor exercise, balance beam, vault and uneven bars. The gymnast with the highest scores on all-four events wins the all-around.
Grace and Anna Glenn are 16 years old and sophomores in high school. They have been training at Southeastern Gymnastics since they were about two. They each recently accepted full scholarships to the University of California at Los Angeles, where they will study and compete on their six-time national championship gymnastics team.
They announced the commitment in January of 2013, Anna said it all happened very quickly.
They train for about 24 hours a week. Gymnastics training can often be hard and difficult with achievements, setbacks and falls, but Grace said their scholarship keeps them motivated on difficult days.
"(We've) come so far, why quit now?" she said. She said they know it will get better.
They hope to maintain their skills between now and college and continue to compete in national competitions.
Neil and Cindi Glenn adopted the twins from China when they were about 15 months old. Neil Glenn said the twins were not really walking at the time and they were concerned about gross motor skills.
"(They) really had a knack for it," he said.
He said he feels proud when they have a great competition and when they work hard. He added that while they are talented, they would
see club/page c4
not have achieved all they have achieved if they did not work hard.
"(They are) incredibly disciplined," he said. In addition to 24 hours of training a week, they attend public school where they are straight-A students, taking honors and advanced placement classes. He said when they get home from practice, they do their homework and go to bed.
"(That) makes me proud, too," he said. "(They are) able to achieve in both areas."
Grace and Anna were among some of the youngest college recruits, but they are not the only college gymnasts to come from Southeastern.
Of the 2014 graduates Madison Brent committed to compete for West Chester University, Cailee Hills will compete for the University of Michigan, Margaret McAvoy will compete for Brown University and Gabbie Yarussi will compete for Towson.
Many of their gymnasts from the classes of 2015 and 2016 have already committed to colleges, along one gymnast who will graduate in 2017.
For Luidmila Shobe, who has been coaching for about 34 years, her goal is to help each child realize their ability and gain confidence.
She wants every child to achieve their goal, whether it is the Olympics, or competing in Level 7.
"Everybody's different, everybody has a different goal," she said. "Everybody has a different Olympics."
Shobe came to Charlotte about 23 years ago from the Soviet Union, where she was a national team coach.
Seeing Grace win the all-around title was the realization of a long-time goal for Shobe as well. She is the first national champion to come out of Southeastern.
Shobe said they had come close many times and she wanted one all-around champion and finally got it.
"She worked hard, we had an awesome year," she said.
Shobe credits the success of the gym to her coaches, past and present, the owners, the parents and everyone who is a part of Southeastern Gymnastics.
"(It took) a lot of hard work for many, many years," she said. "I'm thankful to every one of them who supported the program."
She said she has a wonderful group of parents who are supportive and helpful. She has a positive environment in the gym, a good staff and a wonderful group of kids.
"I'm very thankful for all of it," she said.

Concord, N.C. (September 7, 2012) – Saturday night's race at Richmond International Raceway marks the end of NASCAR's regular season before the 2012 Chase beings next weekend at Chicago. Carl Edwards currently sits 14th in the Sprint Cup point standings and needs good luck on his side to make his seventh Chase.
Edwards must win at Richmond Saturday night, but that is not all that needs to happen. Kyle Busch must finish 24th or worse (with no laps led) and Jeff Gordon must finish 12th or worse. If Busch or Gordon move into the top 10 in points then Edwards is automatically eliminated.
"We're going to Richmond to win," Edwards said. "We need some luck and we need it to be good luck. We've passed more cars in the last month than we've passed all year. I wouldn't go to Richmond with any other team, in any other car. I feel like the No.99 Cheez-It Ford is the favorite there because of how we ran in the spring and we're settling for nothing less than victory lane."
"Carl has run really well at Richmond the last several races there," said crew chief Chad Norris. "He probably should have won the spring race after leading over half of it, and he led a good portion of the race last fall as well. We're taking the same car we raced there in the spring and hopefully we can close the deal this time. A lot of things have to happen for us to make the Chase, but the only thing within our control is to go out and win on Saturday night."
Edwards has three top-five and eight top-10 finishes at Richmond. He has led 442 laps there which is fifth most of any active driver. Nearly half of those laps (206) were accumulated in the spring race. He was the favorite to win the event until a late-race penalty on a restart dashed his hopes. He also led 113 laps last fall en route to a second-place finish.

Tailored fit and it aimed to please, fits great and looks good, easy to iron and stays wrinkle free even after long 10 hour days.
Love that Shirt!
By galicianer
from Brooklyn, NY
The only little nit-pick I have with it is that the style of the shoulders drop a bit over the arm part of the shoulder, as opposed to the sleeve actuall beginning where the upper arm does. I'd also like the material a bit more opaque.Otherwise great!
Excellent value with efficient service

Class of 2009 shaping up to be Lehigh's finest ever
On December 10, Lehigh University offered admission to 387 students under the Early Decision plan, meaning that 35 percent of the class has now been confirmed. Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Eric Kaplan indicated that this group of candidates represented "Lehigh's largest and strongest early decision pool." We will welcome students to Lehigh who fly across the country and across the ocean, students who come from America's largest cities, and those who live within walking distance of campus. The group includes students who have mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, teachers, neighbors, coaches and mentors who are Lehigh graduates. Their academic passions range from the study of German to performing arts; from finance to chemical engineering and for some, a combination of several disciplines.
Many students indicated that they chose Lehigh for its outstanding academic opportunities, beautiful and welcoming campus, location, and because overall, it was the perfect fit for them.
Dean Kaplan indicated that the admissions staff enjoyed reading the applications of these students "because so many were compelling. They will bring vitality to this campus just as they have to their classrooms, the athletics playing fields, artistic performance spaces, community organizations and so many other places. Their presence at Lehigh next fall will be immediately apparent."
Some of the notable accomplishments of this talented group include:
• A dancer who performed with the New York City Ballet and appeared in Columbia Pictures' "Center Stage."
• A mechanically-inclined student who fully restored a 1976 Porsche sports car.
• A Maine state golf champion.
• An "Outward Bound" survivor who did her own "solo" in the woods for 24 hours as part of a two-month adventure program.
• A musician who will march in President Bush's inauguration and at the Rose Bowl with his high school band.
• A budding actress who was just selected to play the lead, Helena, in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." She will continue her love of theatre at Lehigh.
• A student who conducted an in-depth study of fortune tellers and reported her findings in an essay.
• A philanthropist who revived the "Make a Wish" chapter at her school and convinced the school to sponsor the wish of a child with cancer.
• A national mountain bike racer.
• A guitarist who started a band and recently recorded a CD.
• A student whose A.P. history paper was so outstanding that it was used as an example for other A.P. history classes throughout the country.
• An Eagle Scout who raised over $3,000 to improve traffic safety in his home town.
• A student who studied abroad in Salzburg, Austria.
• A volunteer at an international conference at the United Nations.
• An entrepreneur who makes her own handbags and sells them on E-bay.
• A student who did a cultural exchange in Japan.
With this extraordinary group of first-year students already in place, we are off to an excellent start with the class of 2009, and we look forward to inviting many more outstanding students to start their academic careers at Lehigh.

Courses: Culture and Development (PSYCB222001)
Spring 2012
Class Number: 1912
This course focuses on development and enculturation within nested sets of interacting contexts (e.g. family, village, classroom/work group, peer group, culture). Topics include the nature of culture, human narrativity, acquisition of multiple literacies, and the way in which developing mind, multiple contexts, cultures, narrativity, and literacies help forge identities. Prerequisites: PSYC 105 and PSYC 206, or Permission of the Instructor
This course is part of the 360 Learning and Narrating Childhoods.
Enrollment limited to 15.This questionnaire must be completed and
submitted no later than midnight, Tuesday, November 1st , 2011 to be
considered for the 360:
This is a three unit course cluster (with the opportunity for a
fourth credit with independent work). Students wishing to travel to
Ghana will have to be enrolled in all three courses: EDUC B250, FREN
B254 and PSYC B222. You will be expected to commit yourself entirely
to the work in each class as well as to the process of thinking across
the boundaries between courses in a manner that promotes an overall
synthetic vision of development, culture, and education(s) in a global
context. There will be several group discussions in which all students
and faculty involved will join together. One such meeting will take
place before our trip to Ghana and one will take place afterwards. At
the end of the semester, we will once again come together to present
our findings and the results of individual students research. The
trip to Ghana will take place during Spring break and will demand that
students get the necessary vaccines as well as passports and visas
allowing them to travel. All students will be informed by Monday,
November 7th whether or not they have been selected to participate.
All expenses for this trip will be paid for by a grant from the College.

New FEMA Flood Maps Now in Effect
The new Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood maps for Broward County went into effect August 18, 2014. The new maps will be used for flood insurance purposes and for construction projects. More...
FEMA Flood Maps Online
Homeowners and businesses are encouraged to view FEMA's new flood maps online by using an interactive map tool. Find out if your home or business is in a flood zone.
SFWMD to Seek FEMA Accreditation of East Coast Protective Levee
As part of a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) project to modernize the nation's flood zone maps, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is working to obtain FEMA accreditation of the Broward County portion of the East Coast Protective Levee (ECPL). More...
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is preparing the first comprehensive review of flood zones throughout Broward County in 14 years, using a new "vertical datum," that enables consistent comparisons of land and water elevations across the nation.
New flood maps are needed due to the dynamic nature of flood hazard conditions, the availability of updated elevation data, improved technology for identifying flood hazards and to account for developments that can affect flood zone boundaries. The new digital flood maps will help community officials and citizens be better prepared for flood-related disasters by providing an official depiction of flood hazards for unincorporated Broward County, Broward's 31 municipalities and properties located within them.
The updated flood maps, after adoption, will be used for:
By adopting the new flood maps, Broward County is assured that FEMA will offer assistance during emergencies and provide flood insurance coverage for county residents.
As of January 30, 2011, all surveys and plans for Environmental Engineering and Licensing applications must utilize the new vertical datum.

Harvard & MIT create first self-assembling robots – the first real Transformers August 8, 2014 at 11:00 am
Harvard and MIT engineers, showing reckless disregard for the robocalypse, have created origami robots that can self-assemble themselves — from a flat piece of paper and polystyrene — and walk away in just four minutes. "Getting a robot to assemble itself autonomously and actually perform a function has been a milestone we've been chasing for many years," says Harvard's Robert Wood, barely stifling a maniacal cackle.
The $1 origami microscope could revolutionize disease diagnosis, revitalize kids' interest in science and biology April 16, 2014 at 8:37 am
An engineer at Stanford University has created a DIY microscope, called the Foldscope, that is fashioned out of a single piece of printed-and-folded A4 paper, origami-style. This paper-based microscope is incredibly cheap to produce (less than a dollar), and yet still offers a very high magnification level (2,100x) that can be used to diagnose various strains of malaria and other diseases. Given that diagnosis currently requires a cumbersome optical microscope that costs hundreds or thousands of dollars, the Foldscope will revolutionize medicine — primarily in poorer countries, but also here in the west.
Origami: The surprisingly simple secret to creating flexible, high-power lithium-ion batteries February 5, 2014 at 1:11 pm
Researchers at Arizona State University have fused the mystical art of origami with modern materials science to create a high-performance, flexible lithium-ion battery. These batteries can be twisted, bent, and scrunched up multiple times, while retaining the same energy capacity and power output. Perhaps most excitingly, though, the researchers tell me that "all standard electrode materials and packaging technologies are used," meaning this tech could theoretically be commercialized in its current form.
Folded paper lithium-ion battery increases energy density by 14 times October 9, 2013 at 10:53 am
Could the solution to the impending battery crunch be… origami? Scientists at Arizona State University have created a lithium-ion battery out of carbon nanotube-coated paper — and then, by folding it like a map, they have increased the battery's energy density by 14 times.

The Pomona Plan: Investing for Retirement and in Pomona's Future
Dr. Stanley Gilbert professes that the origins of his generous donations to Pomona weren't selfless so much as functional. Back in 1965, the doctor had a house in the Los Angeles suburb of Glendora, was impatient about the process of showing it to potential buyers, and had heard about a small liberal-arts school not far from Los Angeles.
"Somebody told me you could give them a house, so I did," he says matter-of-factly. "I got a tax deduction, and thought that would be that."
Not so fast, doctor. Nearly a half-century later, Gilbert has evolved
into an honorary Sagehen who can't seem to fight the urge to return to
Pomona every year and continue to put resources towards the school's
mission—whether that means funding a new social space, endowing a
scholarship or simply having a quick chat
with President Oxtoby.
"Over the years, I've grown to love Pomona, and always look forward to coming back and reconnecting with the people there," he says.
The Iowa native's career in medicine has taken him to the far reaches of blue-collar Michigan, ritzy Beverly Hills and metropolitan Mexico. He earned a pre-med degree at Northwestern University and an M.D. at the University of Illinois before embarking on a topsy-turvy trajectory that included 20 years practicing medicine in Glendora, stints during World War II treating members of both the Army and the Marines, several years in Guadalajara learning Spanish, and a few jobs working at low-income government clinics in largely Latino towns in southern Texas.
"I wasn't always the best at sitting still," he says with a warm laugh. "I kept 'retiring' and then finding another interesting opportunity in my lap."
Since his (final) retirement in 1984, he has settled down in El Paso, Texas, where he splits his time between relaxing and traveling. He has also had the time to devote more of himself to philanthropy. When his first wife Violet passed away in 1999, he chose to use the annuities in her name to fund the living room in the Smith Campus Center. "It's very gratifying to go on campus and meet all the faculty and students who have benefited," he says.
Gilbert still makes annual visits to the school with his second wife
Edna. They've formed a strong bond with Robin Trozpek in the Office of
Trusts and Estates, scheduling regular dinners and even hosting her at
their house in El Paso last year. He describes Trozpek's kindness as
indicative of the kind of community that
Pomona helps create.
"We view Robin as family to us," he says. "From day one, she has made us, even as non-alums, feel like we're truly part of the Pomona culture."
Among the other ways in which Gilbert has contributed to the College is through the long-running Pomona Plan, in which donors who give cash, stocks or property to the school are awarded a lifelong fixed income in return. "It's a sound thing to do for your retirement," he says. "I don't have to worry about Edna if I die because I know that she will be taken care of financially."
Last year the couple also set up the Dr. Stanley Z. and Mrs. Edna Y.
Gilbert Scholarship Fund with an outright gift of $100,000. The first
recipient, Eric Rios '13, is a math and science double major and
residence hall sponsor who plans to pursue graduate study in mechanical
engineering. He's from inner-city Chicago—his dad
installs marble countertops, while his mom works at a local McDonald's – and is the first person in his family to attend college.
"I don't know what would have happened for me if I hadn't gotten a scholarship," says Rios. "It's things like this that help create a more diverse student body at Pomona."
For Gilbert, hearing about success stories like Rios' is exactly what makes his efforts feel worthwhile.
"It's important that the College provide opportunities for people who would not otherwise have the funds to go.
"At the end of the day," he says, "it really comes back to the students."
The Pomona Plan
- Established in the 1940s
- Pioneered by Allen F. Hawley '16
- Gifts: annuities, charitable remainder trusts, pooled income funds, retained life estates
- More than 400 beneficiaries
- More than $125 million in assets under management
- AAA bond ratings from Fitch, Moody's and Standard and Poor's

The down side to you not asking for contact information is that you can't do followup research on reported complications.

"I realized something a little while after I wrote my last comment, but I was unable to come back and edit it until now. I remembered a very small handful of deaths mentioned between 2006 and now, no more than 4."
I hear what you are saying. We are not seeing a 10% death rate, but not a 0% death rate either. And like you said, a lot of the time it was due to a serious complication. Based on what you said it would be around 1% which is much like the 0.7% rate of hospital deaths. Good health is critical as well as awareness and preparedness.
I do hope that all potential UC moms understand that they are taking responsibility for their births. People will likely see them as somehow responsible for the deaths, even though doctors are seen as having "done all they could" (which might include doing things that worsened the outcome!)
And speaking of the footling loss, vaginal births with breeches can be safe. I myself just had a complete breech. a 3.5lb 36 weeker in water with no complications or trouble breastfeeding. I wish the survey included a question about what complications the moms avoided by avoiding the hospitals.
Babies die before during and after birth.
Those wish to manipulate surveys to bully women out of UC and homebirth should consider what women are using their God-given liberty to avoid -
Birthrape/medical abuse
hospitalization or extended hospitalization beyond necessary
genital mutilation
major abdominal surgery
antibiotic resistant bacteria
flesh eating bacteria
faulty drug testing
meddling in the natural family bonding process
increased morbidity
premature cord clamping
excess pain
interruption of the natural birth process, which is a psychological process of transformation for all involved
If people want to trample on womens' ability to choose what birth setting they choose or scare them off because of the responsibility involved, they should consider what women would lose. Less birth options mean more control for the medical teams involved in hospital births, so it affects women everywhere when women are frightened away from UC and homebirth. Do we want birth to serve hospitals or mothers and children?
I think that a better way to do the research would be like the roll call that was done before, have women sign up for the study during their pregnancies, follow with their contact information and speak with them over the phone about their actual experience. This would give you a much better way to get information because you would see the actual number of fetal deaths instead of just the number of the women who are willing to post about it. You would also see actual maternal deaths as, sadly, a mother who has died is unable to hear about or fill out a survey. It would also limit incomplete surveys because the person taking down the information can ask for clarification.
For something like this, a general UC survey roll call could go out where women could contact an email address, fill out a questionnaire and then get a followup phone call from the surveyor. It's not perfect, but it would limit a lot of the variables that could go wrong in this type of a study.

Done - x3! I specified no children present at my births, 'though there were children IN THE HOUSE at the last two, because they were not in the room.
Does anyone know what the neonatal mortality rate is in the US, overall? (I've tried to find it, but my computer is being slow and not cooperating.)
Mama to a bright 7 y/o girl and an exuberant 3 y/o boy Loving unschooling, 2x and natural living in Hawaii.
6.81 per 1000
Thanks! Just thought it would be good to have numbers to compare. We don't necessarily have to expect a certain type of birth decision to have BETTER outcomes than everything else ('though that's certainly preferable if possible!), but we do want it to at least not be WORSE.
Infant mortality is not really the statistic that you're going for, because it tends to be more of a measure of pediatric care than of prenatal/birth care. Infant mortality is usually measured as deaths from birth to age one year of age. Neonatal mortality is death from birth to 28 days of age, so that tends to be a bit more informative for this situation. Even better is perinatal mortality because it includes late stillbirths plus the birth-28 days group. The numbers can be hard to track down and compare, because different countries tend to report things differently and some allow exemptions that others do not. I don't have any numbers to share, but if someone does then I'd love to see them.
The perinatal mortality rate also is not great to go by because it covers ALL pregnancies including high-risk pregnancies and deaths not attributed to childbirth such as birth defects and severe health problems.
Mama to a bright 7 y/o girl and an exuberant 3 y/o boy Loving unschooling, 2x and natural living in Hawaii.
You have to have *something* concrete to use as a measure, though.
And I agree that those numbers sound awfully high to me. I've been on and off of UC boards for over 10 years now, as I had my first UC ten years ago, and the only baby death I remember hearing about was later found to have been made up for attention. Which is, again, not to say that babies don't die. (All of life is risky and, unfortunately, some babies do die - in AND out of the hospital) But these rates seem higher than corresponds with anything I've ever heard. Are these associated with how close to term the babies were, in the results?
(And, no, I'm not oblivious. Although they weren't UC's, I do personally know two people whose babies died during homebirths or homebirth transfers. One may have been preventable; the other was definitely just a "freak" occurrence. [Baby's cord broke. Never heard of that, before or since.])
I also agree that in the twelve years I have been researching UC (this is my LIFE), I have rarely ever heard of deaths. There have been a handful, but that's out of over a thousand women. There were five that passed away because of congenital heart defects which could have happened in the hospital as well. I think all of those babies passed in the hours after the birth, not right at the birth. I heard of one woman whose baby died during the birth of asphyxiation, but that was a freak occurrence and I think the doctors couldn't figure out how it happened so they ruled it a cord accident during a prolonged pushing phase.
Did the mothers whose babies passed provide stories as to what happened?
Mama to a bright 7 y/o girl and an exuberant 3 y/o boy Loving unschooling, 2x and natural living in Hawaii.
Certainly I would say that education is paramount if you choose to UC, and absolutely recognizing that you are accepting absolute full responsibility for your birth. Personally, I can't imagine allowing anyone else to be responsible for my birth.
My two cents.

Twelve walk away from Carlisle city centre minibus crash
Last updated at 12:04, Monday, 20 February 2012
A driver and his 11 passengers had a miraculous escape when their minibus ploughed through a garden wall on a busy Carlisle road.
The smash happened at 7.15pm on Saturday in Victoria Place, with the white 16-seater LDV minibus demolishing a brick wall and metal fence before stopping in a front garden.
An elderly woman on the bus was taken to The Cumberland Infirmary with a minor head injury.
Neither the driver nor any of his passengers, who included small children, suffered any serious injuries.
The crash was one of two serious accidents in Carlisle to happen within the space of half an hour.
The second happened at 7.35pm when a car went out of control on Kingstown Road, careering into two houses.
Just an hour before the Victoria Place accident, Charles Broadbent, 77, was working in his front garden near to the wall that was destroyed. He and his wife Denise, 55, told how they had been in their home watching TV when they heard a loud rumble.
"We looked out of the front window and saw the white van in our front garden," said Denise.
"The first thing we did was rush out to see if the people in the minibus were OK. There were three generations inside, including some small children, perhaps as young as two, and an older woman, who had a small cut to her head.
"If they hadn't been wearing seat belts it would have been a right mess."
The couple continued to help the group as they waited for police and ambulance staff to arrive.
They said they were grateful that there was a substantial brick wall between their garden and the driveway for the bungalow next door.
That wall stopped the minibus hitting the bungalow.
As the minibus went through the couple's front garden wall, the impact sent dome bricks tumbling into next door's driveway.
A heavy sandstone coping stone landed next to the front bay window of the bungalow, which is the home of 85-year-old Bettine Bradbury.
She said: "My neighbour found the coping stone next to my window. There was obviously a risk to me.
"If a car had been parked on the drive, it would have been damaged by the bricks spilling over the wall."
In the second accident, just 20 minutes later, police and paramedics were called to Kingstown Road after a Citroen left the road near the junction with California Road.
The car destroyed three roadside bollards and bounced off two terraced houses as it span out of control.
Chris Boak, 29, who lives near the scene, said: "I was in the house when I heard a crashing noise. I came out and saw the Citroen facing into Kingstown Road."
Mr Boak, who owns CBS Valeting, said the car involved came to rest just inches from his parked car.
Simone Sisson, 21, lives in a house just 30 yards from the crash site with her seven-and-a-half-month-old son Jack.
She said her friend, Mel Forster, 25, had just left her house a few doors down and was about to walk to her house when the crash happened.
Had she set off a few seconds earlier, she said, her friend would have been walking along the pavement where the car left the road.
"Everybody was quite shaken by it," said Simone.
Police confirmed that the driver of the Citroen, a 32-year-old man from Ecclefechan, in Dumfries and Galloway, was interviewed. A file has been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service, who will decide whether there should be a prosecution.
A man has been charged following the Victoria Place crash. Suk Punmagar, 55, of Delagoa Street, near London Road, is charged with drink-driving. He is due to appear before magistrates on March 6.

The Chamber has been holding their annual dinners for over 25 years, and according to Ashley O'Dell, St. Marys Area Chamber of Commerce Outreach Coordinator, this year's event will feature a red carpet theme with paparazzi taking attendees' photographs as they arrive. There is no dress code for the event though, O'Dell stressed.

KINGSTON TOWNSHIP — Goodbye summer, hello fall.
Despite the cooler temperatures, families tried to soak up the last remnants of summer at Frances Slocum State Park near Dallas.
"I brought the kids out. We went down, did a little fishing. And now then come up here to do some s'mores, have a little cookout," said Earl Maskowski, of Wilkes-Barre.
Between fishing, cookouts, and playgrounds, there was only one thing missing: swimmers. It was the last day for the pool to be open at the park. The lifeguards said with the weather, only three people were in the water all day.
But that didn't stop families from coming to the park. An example, one family said for about 15 years they've reserved a pavillion by the lake for a Filipino-American Labor Day celebration, complete with food and activities for the kids.
"As long as it's not downpouring, we're having fun, as you can see. We will have games later for the children and for adults, too," said Marge Santos, of Mountain Top.
"We're having lots of fun and stuff. And we're going to have a pinata kind of thing that you get stuff," said Jason Lauver, of Kingston.
As some celebrate the final weeks of summer. Others are happy that fall is on the way.
"I'm glad, kind of. I don't like the hot weather. It's not hot now but I'm glad, kind of. It went by fast though," said Sharon Gebhardt of Dallas.

More details about the machine can also be found at www.injectionmolder.net
Step 1: Machine set up
Step 2: Insert the mold
Inexpensive homemade molds can be made using an epoxy or urethane resin. Or, by machining a desired cavity into an aluminum block using a benchtop CNC machine.
Step 3: Pour in some plastic pellets
Step 4: Pull down handle to inject plastic
The downward force on the handle causes the injection nozzle to press down tightly against the top of the mold, allowing the molten plastic to flow directly into the sprue hole.
The time it takes to pull down the handle will vary, depending on how much plastic you are injecting. A small part (1-2 grams) may only take about 2-3 seconds to inject (plus a few seconds holding time). A larger part (5-10 grams) may take 10-15 seconds or longer to inject (plus a few seconds holding time).
Step 5: Unclamp and remove the mold
Step 6: Remove the part from the mold
That's it, you're done!!
NOTE: If you think this instructable is "book worthy", please click on VOTE NOW button at the top of the page. Thanks.
This is really interesting stuff, but where do you get or how do you make the metal molds that would be used with something like this?
Can you tell me about the owl mold?
website is: www.injectionmolder.net
There's a lot more details about machine on the website.
Plastic is compressed from the top with a hydraulic ram instead of a manual handle. There is also a digitally controlled temperature controller, and internal plasticizer for quick color changes. At the bottom it uses a hydraulic clamp for more force to hold the mold closed, instead of a manual vice.
The machine can make really finely detailed parts and also use harder materials, such as ABS and Polycarbonate.

Kansas Hate Crime Suspect Tells Howard Stern Why He Hates Jews, Loves Hitler So Much
|B. Norton on Flickr
|Listen to Howard Stern interview Glenn Miller, now the suspect in the Kansas City shootings at Jewish community centers.
"Greatest man that ever walked the Earth, in my opinion," Miller says about his fanaticism for the Fuhrer.
Hitler's not the only one who's earned Miller's admiration. He calls religious and social leader Louis Farrakhan "the greatest black man America has ever produced."
But don't let that fool you. Miller still hates blacks, just not as much as Jews. In the interview, he calls President Barack Obama a "nappy-headed you-know-what in the White House."
Here's the rest of Howard Stern's interview with F. Glenn Miller.
In part two of the interview, Miller tells Stern he's fighting for the survival of his race. "All we want is to survive," Miller says. "We are dying out in number rapidly."
In part three, Stern tries to tell Miller that Miller himself is probably Jewish. Predictably, Miller totally freaks out.
And as the interview comes to a close, Miller calls the Holocaust a "rude awakening."

From the fairway I would use either a fairway wood or long iron. One bad shot does not mean I cannot man up and hit a good one, a 190 or 200 approach is not beyond doing.
If in the rough probably 5 or 6 iron to center fairway for layup.
IMHO every club is in the bag for a reason, I want to learn to use them all as well as I can.

I don't know how many stories I can do just showing statistics of the Eurozone to prove that austerity in a depressed economy is disastrous. But while they're boring to me creatively, they're important to build an unassailable fact pattern, one that stresses how backward Eurozone (and U.K.) fiscal policy has become.
Unemployment in the euro zone reached its highest level in almost 15 years in February, with more than 17 million people out of work, and economists said they expected job office queues to grow even longer later this year.
Joblessness in the 17-nation currency zone rose to 10.8 percent – in line with a Reuters poll of economists – and 0.1 points worse than in January, Eurostat said on Monday.
"We expect it to go higher, to reach 11 percent by the end of the year," said Raphael Brun-Aguerre, an economist at JP Morgan in London. "You have public sector job cuts, income going down, weak consumption. The economic growth outlook is negative and is going to worsen unemployment."
For all the faults of US fiscal policy, we have not engaged in anything as profoundly stupid as this, try as policymakers might. The only near-term policy on the horizon in the Eurozone and U.K. is more austerity. Spain just introduced their austerity budget. The fiscal pact signed by all Eurozone nations calls for budget targets that force more austerity. The poverty of thinking there and in the U.K. is almost incredible.
Associated with that is the way in which much of the media turned away from Europe as soon as the banking crisis lessened in impact. Once the threat of default subsided, and the only suffering fell on millions of ordinary European citizens, suddenly the news fell off the front page. And this lack of global pressure is unquestionably very helpful to the Eurozone leaders implementing their austerity policies.
The only hope of anything useful to come out of this mess is as an object lesson. That's why the story of the austerity-induced Eurozone recession must never be forgotten.
