The Justice Department has filed legal papers to dismiss a case in which a same-sex couple is seeking a determination on whether their union is entitled to be acknowledged by states that do not recognize same-sex marriage.
The suit also demands a ruling on whether they are eligible for federal benefits, according to ABC News.
The administration's move has drawn criticism from gay rights groups which have pointed to the fact that as a presidential candidate Obama vowed to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which prevents the federal government from treating a same-sex union as marriage.
"The malicious and outrageous arguments and language used in the Justice Department's brief [are] only serving to inflame and malign the humanity of same-sex couples and our families," says Rea Carey of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Action Fund, quoted by the Los Angeles Times.
Defenders of traditional marriage remain cautious, however.
Randy Thomas, executive vice president of Exodus International, warns on his blog against being "deceived" into thinking Obama will not redefine marriage and family.
"I think we must remember that while the Obama Justice Department is seemingly repeating social conservative arguments other Obama administration departments are inculcating gay ideology into their corporate environments," he writes, quoted by Christian Post.
The Justice Department has said President Obama wants to see an overturn of DOMA but will defend the existing statute until Congress passes legislation repealing the law.

Elton's First Quarter
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Mon, 12/04/06, 08:31am:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
Elton Brand went 8-10 in the first quarter. He missed his first shot - which he followed with a tip-in - and hit an insane, fading 21-footer at the buzzer to finish the quarter.
Here's what it looked like:
Here's what it looked like:
- [11:30/11:29] Livingston brings up the ball, leaves it with Mobley up top and dives toward the corner. Mobley gets a nice high screen from EB and moves left with the ball, passing it off to TT on the high left wing. Off the screen, EB darts down toward the block, getting a quality down screen on Tony Battie from Shaun Livingston. Good things are materializing here. EB, now free, gets the ball on the left block against a recovering Battie. EB goes up strong, just misses as he's fouled. The Battie foul isn't called, so EB puts the tip back up and in.
Nice, nice set - the kind of stuff we became accustomed to last spring.
- [10:56] In the interest of editorial objectivity, I guess I have to make mention of Jameer Nelson's picking EB pocket at the elbow on the next offensive possession. It happened and, I suspect, Elton probably feels badly about it, but not as badly as he would had it been Smush Parker. We can tolerate Nelson, even if he's an anatomic basketball-playing flea.
- [10:33] Mobley dumps it into EB in the right post against Battie. Elton is about three feet off the block here. He dribbles it deliberately for a second - smartly - just trying to feel out approximately how much help Grant Hill is willing to commit to him on the double-team. Hill nibbles, but doesn't offer full help because Mobley is close enough in to do some damage if he does. EB hesitates, fakes, hesitates again, almost as if he may pass it back out to Cat. Then a light goes off and EB determines that the 15-foot face up jumper is sort of his thing, even if Tony Battie is in front of him. It isn't his prettiest shot of the night, but Elton hits it.
- [10:00] Elton's only other miss of the quarter, and it's a decent miss because, look, even Elton Brand on a good day isn't going to hit everything and that's essentially what happens here. Cat feeds Elton down low. Elton dribbles, spins, releases and it just misses. The good news: Aaron Williams is on the weak side glass for a putback. So the Clippers remain perfect on possessions in which Elton gets the first shot.
- [9:32] Wellwaddayaknow! The good old S/R. How we missed you, old friend. O latest born and loveliest vision far...
Quick and deadly. Shaun gets a forceful screen of Nelson from Brand. Shaun very quickly slings a graceful across-the-body pass to EB on his right for the quick pop from the top of the circle. Granted, Battie's show wasn't much, but Livingston looks so much like a point-guard on this play. And Brand shoots with pre-game shootaround proficiency.
- [6:56] Basic Version 1.0 Elton Brand. He receives it from Shaun at the left elbow. There's no immediate double-team, so EB backs down Battie to about 14 feet, spins left, pops and hits.
- [3:33] The Clippers get it now. Not only isn't Orlando doubling on Elton, but Elton realizes that he can beat Battie to the basket anytime he wants to. So the Clips strip it down: Livingston into Elton on the left block. He turns toward the lane, puts his head down and drives for the hoop. And the foul.
- [1:31] Cassell and Maggette enter the game for Livingston and Thomas. On this play, I'd love to keep crooning about EB, but this is just some basic fourth-game-of-a-West-Coast-swing snoozery you see sometimes. Cassell and Kaman run a high S/R, while Elton is at the top of the circle against Howard. When Turkoglu and Arroyo trap Cassell off the screen, this leaves Kaman dashing toward the basket alone. Howard immediately picks up Kaman, leaving nodoby to cover Brand.
Easiest basket of the night from outside of three feet, but when you move off the ball, sometimes this stuff falls into your lap. It's your crusty old grandfather telling you to make your own luck in life.
- [0:29] Hat tip to Clips Nation Steve. Before the Magic are set, Sam quickly dishes it over to EB. Elton seems surprised that, at :18, Howard is leaving him that much space inside of 17 feet. He initially hesitates, then realizes that he's got the face-up jumper if he wants it. He does, and he hits. You can always back it out, but why not get the ball into your big where he likes it if there's an opening five seconds into the possession? If the defense closes, then you can decide what you want to do and still have :15. But if the space is there, then why piddle around for nine or ten seconds?
- [0:00] Not much of a chalkboard play. Orlando has a foul to give and does so at 2.4.
Give it up a little bit for Sam Cassell, because if he doesn't put a screen on Dwight Howard - who has eaten meals larger than Sam - Elton doesn't get this ball. Maggette finds EB, Elton tries to work some space, can't, then fires it up strong at the siren.

The 36 Mariner is Ready to Entertain
With two spacious entertaining platforms in the cockpit and the bridge you won't have to cut back on your guest list.
By Capt. Chris Kourtakis
Carver has been perfecting the Mariner line since the 1970's. In 2004, Carver introduced the 36 as its newest model in the Mariner line, which offers a single floor plan designed with a classic layout, that allows its owners to enjoy the boat whether it's at a dock or cruising the seas.
Functional Cockpit Layout
The cockpit is spacious and quite open, and with the high padded gunnels and stainless steel railing you also have added safety back here. A heavy duty transom door will give you access the molded-in swim platform with integrated fold-out ladder on the port side.
The shore power and freshwater hook ups can also be found on the port side behind a fiberglass door. Inside, you will is also find a hook for your dock lines. If you are worried about storing your fenders, Carver has that covered as well, with two large in-floor self draining storage compartments.
Open Bridge
A couple of easy to use steps from the cockpit give you access to a spacious bridge that no one else has on the market. Seating 10 plus adults comfortably is easy with the rear bench and two face-to-face benches. The captain and their companion will ride in style with adjustable pedestal seats with arm rests.
Just in front of the companion seat is a self draining wet bar with cold water tap and optional ice maker for mixing your favorite cocktails. The standard deck hatch in the floor allows you to pass your favorite snack up from the galley to the bridge.
Every captain will feel in control with the split shifters, Teleflex gauges, stereo remote, and room for all of their favorite electronics.
Bow Access Made Easy
Easy to access walkways on either side of the boat with high stainless steel railings lead up to the optional sun pad and additional bench seat for a great view of the open waters ahead.
Luxury Continues Below
Entering the salon starts with an easy to use tinted sliding glass door with standard screen. As you walk down the three steps you'll notice Carver's attention to every detail right away.
On the port side, there's an L-shaped lounge that allows you to relax in style while you watch the standard 20-inch flat screen TV with DVD player. Carver's unique idea for a storage drawer under the bench makes accessing your gear quick and easy. You will never have to lug the family shop vacuum on board either with the central vacuum system also located under the lounge.
Rolling the dice or playing cards has never been more comfortable then at the four-person conversational dinette located immediately on the starboard side of the salon. The cherry wood table can be dropped down for additional sleeping berth.
Fully-Equipped Galley
The galley is located just past the dinette on the starboard side. With a built-in microwave, two-burner electric stove, coffeemaker, and abundant amount of storage, this galley is fully-equipped to entertain your guests or make a snack for the kids. The Nova Cool refrigerator and ice maker are conveniently stacked to the left of the stainless steel sink.
More Room in the Head
Plenty of storage can be found behind the vanity mirror or below the sink. The standard Vacuflush toilet is easily accessed in the spacious head. The glass door leading into the separate shower stall with a removable head and seat, allows you to enjoy your time on board as much as you would in your own home.
Amenities Continue in the Main Stateroom
You'll find two steps on either side of the queen-sized berth that make accessing easy, especially after a long day of cruising. The deck hatch overhead allows fresh air and sunlight to fill the room.
The cherry wood cabinets adorn the outside walls, and two hanging lockers allow you to bring aboard your favorite outfits. If that is still not enough, the V-berth has two additional drawers for clothes, and two additional cabinets built right in for easy access.
The Engine Room
Accessing the engine room is easier than I've seen on most other 36-foot yachts. The stairs in the salon can be raised with a hydraulic lift, which gives you better access to the front of the motors and the transmissions. Gas-assisted shocks help you access the engine room from the cockpit area when needed. This is nice because most engine access points are found in the salon.
Once you are in the engine room, you will notice Carver's attention to detail with labeled wires that are tied back and out of the way. The engine room is completely gel coated white for a clean look and easy clean up.
Performance and Ride
On our test ride the 36 Mariner delivered a top speed of 31.7 mph at 5000 rpm, with a best cruise speed of around 22 mph at 3500 rpm. At this speed you can cruise around for about 355 miles on a full tank of fuel. Captaining this boat is made easy with Carver's great hull design which allows her to handle very well in all types of water conditions.

Searching for people in the same boat as you when trying to deal with this is like trying to find a needle in a haystack! Hopefully this thread will represent something akin to a much bigger needle!
If you discover that your spouse is bisexual or homosexual, and infidelity is part of the mix, whether confirmed or suspected, hopefully this will be the start of a place where we can find each other and share our common experiences!
Thanks again to the Mods for this thread!
fo4, you worded it PERFECTLY.
When a straight spouse gets socked & shattered by tgt (the gay thing)...its even more than "infidelity"!
How does one beat or top something like this? Go into R?
Add a few fistfuls of personality disorder...& one is going NUTS!
I just thank God we never had any children.
Hopefully, all the members who have PM'd me over the past year can now come out & feel free to post here about "tgt".
My self esteem was already lousy from all the infidelities, but the bi/gay ISSUE just sucked me down a black hole of utter despair that I cannot begin to describe & into the ether.
I wasn't certain if I...was...ever...coming back "whole".
Coupled with ongoing Secrets...& 2 subjects WH simply will not discuss (I spoke with him 2X today & it was very cordial): money, & sex...its akin to banging one's head on concrete.
Its horrible feeling so used & disrespected!
But, with ongoing IC, I have regained some clarity & my new friends are really helping to rebuild my once flagging self esteem.
Probably not really the right context, but in time I think I'll be able to write & express myself in a more clear & concise way about this...
Ultimate Betrayal! Ugh!!
After all, I could NEVER grow or have the right male "equipment" to ever truly *satisfy* WH, could I? I could never exude that male hormonal everythings that WH was ATTRACTED TO (so he could paint his toes red for another bi/gay man's attention/love & all of THAT). Its just so convoluted, really.
I identified with how Princess Di had been used...in a sense.
I was not the Royal "brood mare", but I was the straight W he could parade about with.
And, this made me furious!
He was only thinking of himself...& how he'd look to family/friends/job & promotions. Creep!
I'm just glad WH was not in politics...I don't know how those wives can handle THAT!
WH was doing this on a DAILY BASIS during our long distance M on the phone & it got OLD fast...but clueless me...I thought it was just related to his OCD...
Hey, oh, halloo!
Anyone else out there?
How have you been?
[This message edited by nitwhit at 11:34 AM, August 30th (Thursday)]
Great to see you here...how are things going?
Did tb/gt have a similar "impact" within your M as mine did?
[This message edited by dreamlife at 2:51 AM, August 31st (Friday)]
I feel very sorry for their 3 children as well.
All of them.
Yes I remember how I felt... so not only do I feel like I have to be on top of my game to be an attractive woman.. now I have to compete with men too?
I can't ever grow THAT!?
You feel .. well just ugly really... like my womanhood isn't good enough..
"Why did you marry me KNOWING this?"
Sen Craig was caught by an undercover cop soliciting sex in a men's bathroom at an airport. He plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge in the incident.
No matter what I did (short of a penile implant or some apparatus)...it was never going to be good enough.
I enjoy being a woman, feeling like a woman, being admired & honored for my womanly attributes.
I think a lot of bi/gay WH do start off with very good intentions as they think that they CAN CHANGE...or--they think that we can "fix" them.
Ain't so.
Some even go to their graves unable to admit even to themselves about these same sex desires n attractions!
This is so incredibly SAD. Its Tragic!
I believe if society allowed them to just be themselves...to M...they would not have to grab a Cover Wife or H, too.
But, then, like in any other situation, you'll always have the ones w/ personality dis-orders or who want a "free ride" as well.
Believe it or not, I have read of a very few totally MONOGAMOUS M with a bi H in a traditional M & raising children who are happy/well-adjusted. (Just as gay couples have; my cousin is gay, has been with his partner for over a decade, and they have adopted children who are thriving.)
But, I guess the question that begs asking is...will resentment build up over time?
Some W, who have not had sexual relations for as long as 30 years in a row (due to their H having no interest, ED, etc.) in these M blame themselves for not being "attractive" enough...when it has nothing to do with this.
Cannot fit a square peg in a round hole as that wise old saying goes.
I've been duped & shattered...and we still ride the bi/gay/asexual/straight & back to bi/gay, etc. "merry-go-round"!
Bottom line: deception & dishonesty is key to the other str8 spouse as the best years of his/her life are used up.
'Displaying one's hand under the stall divider while wearing a WEDDING RING is much more "alluring"...'
I'm one of the few, the proud (not) who have both an OM and an OW.
I knew my WW had dated a few women before we met. She dated men as well. Didn't really bother me, particularly (although I'm not the type of guy to think 2 women together is "hot").
When wife went nutso and had her A (disgustingly graphic cybersex A with a scumbag loser POS MM some 2000 miles away), she managed to work in a little makeout session with a lesbian "friend" she had known for years. They had never gotten involved before, as W had no attraction whatsoever to her.
Okay, so it ended almost before it happened. Okay, so after making out, W excused herself, ran to the bathroom, and washed out her mouth. Okay, so thinking about it makes my W physically ill - when she first told me, she had to go vomit.
Still really hits at one's sense of manhood, you know? Bad enough that she was blowing and screwing this loser POS online, but that she was sucking face with an ugly dyke too? How much can you damage one man's self-esteem, anyhow?
Thanks for listening to my vent/ramble.
Glad to see this group has been formed. We need a special kind of support for a special type of betrayal.
2 DSs, ages 9 and 7
Just wondering...
Yes, so very disrespectful and demeaning.
Talk about whipping out the rug named *special* out from underneath you!

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Imagine that you owned a business in Price, and you had a number of competitors in town. Now let's say that the city council decided that one of your competitors was such a good friend and customer of the city (not that you aren't) that they passed an ordinance that that business would only have to pay half their utility bill each month? Would that make you mad? Would you be upset? Would that be a direct impact on the prices your competitor could charge customers, because their costs would be lower?
For all three, the answer is yes.
Price has never done that, nor will they. The city leaders know that would be unfair, especially since you are already a good customer of theirs.
Well, the city leaders of the United States Postal Service don't seem to see things the same way. The Postal Commission which oversees the Postal Service recently made a decision that will negatively affect the Sun Advocate's business to the advantage of Valassis (a direct mailing company). They are going to give that company a large cut in postal rates based on any new business they generate.
Decision undercuts competition
Now where will that new business come from? It will come from "new business" that they take away from newspapers across the country because the newspapers will not be able to compete with the same low postal rates that Valassis will enjoy. Under the scenario that is coming up, if something is not done, they will be able to undercut newspaper's mailing costs and therefore cut those papers out of the insert/circular pie.
I know that at times newspapers have been portrayed as dinosaurs that are dying. In some cases that is true. When businesses do not adapt to changing times, they do die. But usually when a business dies it is because of poor management or poor products, or both. But they should never die because the government gives unfair advantage to a competitor. The circulars and inserts that you get in your newspapers, whether it is ours or an upstate paper, are a vital part of how we keep our newsrooms intact and are able to cover the stories you want to read about. The most expensive part of running a newspaper is generating good news for readers.
If you have a newspaper carrier you might wonder what all the hubbub is about. That fact is that the majority of small newspapers (and a good part of ours) are mailed through the postal service to our customers. It's hard to understand why the Postal Service would want to hurt one of their largest customers to help another. The discounts of 22 percent to 36 percent that are proposed are to go specifically after preprinted advertising inserts that are currently in newspapers. This kind of direct attack on newspapers, which provide information and are part of a free press, is unconscionable. While negotiated service agreements are allowed under current law, Congress has made it clear that these types of deals should not cause unreasonable harm in the marketplace. This deal will do that.
A loss to communities
Because of this Valassis can now go to newspaper insert customers and lure them away with lower delivery costs granted by our very own government with its post office monopoly. Newspapers, especially smaller newspapers in rural areas, have worked closely for decades to deliver news to all areas of the country through the U.S. mail. We are a good customer for the Postal Service, in fact one of the best. But now they wish to favor one customer over another and allow Valassis to become a competitor with a deadly edge. In the long haul, this translates into a loss of workers and loss of information availability to people through newspapers. The Sun Advocate employs over 30 local people. Does anyone reading this know if Valassis employs anyone in the local area at all?
This kind of deal strikes at the very heart of our news organization. In this day and age newspapers have more competitors than ever, with the growth of local television, internet companies and radio stations. In our market we are the only full news source, but we have others knocking at our back door. While we have the prime internet news source in eastern central Utah, that is only supported by the fact that our actual paper is viable. Internet revenue is not enough to support a news room in a small area like this. This kind of ruling, if it stands and goes into affect, will damage our ability to pay newsroom people. We are already at the bare minimum to cover news as it is. Further cuts in revenue would result in the loss of jobs here, and the loss of a valuable complete news source for eastern Utah.
The Postal Service is in financial trouble because they could not control their own expenses; rather than finding ways to become more efficient and cutting costs they have brokered a deal with Valassis that will result in newspapers having to lay off workers across the country. This preferential treatment to Valassis, which will harm newspapers and other mail competitors, will actually damage the information vehicles that have been recognized as a key ingredient for a free and democratic society.
Congress needs to act quickly to stop this sweetheart deal before it causes significant financial harm to local newspapers. We ask that you encourage your congressman and senators from Utah to take legislative action to stop this unfair and inappropriate rate deal before it causes harm in local communities.
While this newspaper is a business, it is also a vital part of the community and many readers refer to us as "their Sun Advocate." We like the fact that many of you feel part of us, so much a part that you attach your personality to our publication. Thanks for your business and your subscriptions.
It is an honor and a privilege to serve the local community.

For example, Venezuela withdrew from the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights of the Organization of the Americas (OAS), and there is a chance that no Summit of the Americas will happen in 2015 unless the United States changes its position on Cuba's participation. Several countries in the Americas, from Nicaragua to Ecuador, spent years without a US ambassador due to Senator Marco Rubio's (R-FL) obstructionist caprice.

Q&A With USNA's Deputy Commandant of Midshipmen
Posted on: July 17, 2013 12:00 EDT by Naval Academy Public Affairs
The Trident staff sat down with Naval Academy's Deputy Commandant of Midshipmen Col. Bobbi Shea (USNA '91) to discuss her new role and what it's like to be back at the academy.
What motivated you to pursue the position as deputy commandant at the Naval Academy?
When I was first told that I was going to be interviewed for this position, my first thought was about what a special place the Academy is, how it transforms civilians not just into sailors and Marines like we do at our recruit training facilities, but into leaders of men and women. To me, there is no greater privilege in our nation than to lead sailors and Marines. With my own memories of the Naval Academy and of all the different things that I learned here, for me to come back and be a part of that is an honor and a privilege.
What do you think will be your biggest challenge in this role?
I know when I was a midshipman here, the deputy commandant was known primarily for being the enforcer of rules, and I think my biggest challenge is to help build the perception that someone who enforces the rules is also someone who is a compassionate leader, someone who leads by example. Leaders who enforce rules are multifaceted and can be called on for a number of different leadership roles, not just enforcing rules in a negative way. We can uphold the standards in a positive way as well. That's what I seek to balance as the deputy commandant.
What are your priorities going into the next academic year?
I think my biggest priorities are to help the Brigade of Midshipman and help the commandant sustain a leadership environment of mutual respect and dignity, and to help the midshipmen as they meet challenges – and they will be challenged morally, mentally and physically. I want to be part of the leadership team that helps people overcome those challenges and, more importantly, learn from those challenges so they become great leaders of our sailors and Marines.
What has changed since you attended the Naval Academy?
It's a great hobby of graduates to sit around and talk about how the academy has changed – whether there's air conditioning or whether there's a new building – but I think what I'm more impressed with is those things that remain. The academy is and will always be a place where we build a sense of honor and a sense of duty and obligation to something bigger than ourselves. A lot of the facades have changed, a lot of the facilities have changed, maybe some of the academic courses, and the rules change around the margins, but what makes the academy special are those things that are enduring, and that's what makes people like me want to come back.
What do you want the Trident readers to know about you?
Everybody's going to be challenged going through here. Some people are going to be athletic rock stars, but they may going to struggle academically. Some people are going to be military proficient but then they might have a tough time with the PRT (physical readiness test). I think what I would want them to know about me is that I didn't graduate number one from my class, and I didn't graduate from the bottom. My experience here was similar to the middle 800 or 900 midshipmen who form every class, so I think I have a pretty good appreciation of what it's like sometimes to be challenged and how to overcome it. What I appreciate now is how those experiences actually translate into great leadership lessons that can be used out in the Fleet later. Great leadership lessons sometimes come from when we are challenged most; we should all seek to be challenged in every way we can.
What do you think you bring as a Marine Corps officer to this position?
I think diversity comes in all different forms and fashions. It comes in different life experiences. It comes in different leadership experiences. It comes in different perspectives on the world. It can come from a different service perspective. I think the strongest teams are those where you have a variety of leadership experiences and a variety of perspectives. It's just important that I bring something a little bit different to the leadership team. It doesn't mean better or worse, and it doesn't mean something someone else couldn't bring to the fight, but it just brings something different to the fight.

State, county in motion to develop Goshen
GOSHEN, Ore. - Once just a stagecoach stop, then a train depot, today this tiny Lane County town sits at the crossroads of major highways.
"What makes it so unique is that it's you know right there where Highway 58 and I-5 come together, so transportation corridor-wise, it,s perfect," said Alex Cuyler in the Lane County Commissioners office.
The railroad passes through here as well, another reason state and county officials have focused on Goshen for economic development.
The hope is to bring jobs to Goshen that would pay a 150 percent of the average wage in Lane County.
But the small town isn't quite ready for big business: there are zoning changes and sewer upgrades to be done first.
While government officials have high hopes, an existing business owner told KVAL News he isn't so sure.
"One of the problems for me is that, yeah, I think commercial property will increase value of whatever they do," said Bruce Engeman of R&D Propane, "but I deal with hazard material so I don't know what that will mean for me."

Adirondack hunters harvested 606 black bears in 2012, and that figure represents a 220 percent increase over the 2011 take of 275 bears in the Adirondacks. The 2012 kill is a return to more typical harvest numbers after the poor 2011 take that marked the lowest kill in the last 20 years.
The majority of the 2012 bear kills occurred during the early season, and according to a DEC press release, This pattern was expected after a summer of low natural food availability.
The early season harvest is always high in such years because bears are moving more in search of food and many are closer to human food sources, which in both cases makes them more vulnerable to harvest.
In fact, towns along the western and southern fringe of the Adirondacks saw some of the highest harvests as bears were found feeding in corn fields during the early season. Bears also tend to den early when natural foods are scarce, so fewer bears were available to hunters during the regular season.
Adirondack Take by Season
Hunters took 386 black bears or 64 percent of the Adirondack harvest during the early season, 39 bears or six percent of the harvest during the bow season, 49 bears or eight percent of the harvest during the muzzleloader season, and 132 bears or 22 percent of the harvest during the regular season.
The total Adirondack take of 606 black bears was slightly ahead of the five-year-average kill of 547 bears, and the 2012 total was the fifth highest take in the past 20 years.
Forty percent of the bears taken in the recent season were females while 60 percent were males. These percentages are similar to the 20-year, historical take of 43 percent females and 57 percent males.
Adirondack Take by County
Of the 13 counties in the Adirondack region, Lewis County led the way with a take of 84 black bears while St. Lawrence and Essex counties had kills of 73 bears. The other counties and their respective harvests were Herkimer (66), Warren (62), Clinton (54), Fulton (47), Jefferson (38), Hamilton (38), Franklin (35), Oneida (24), Saratoga (9), and Washington (3).
In Lewis County, 25 bears were taken in the Town of Croghan, 14 in Diana, 12 in Greig, 11 in Watson, and nine in New Bremen.
In St. Lawrence County, 15 bears were harvested in the Town of Hopkinton, eight in Fine, seven in Piercefield, and six in Clare and Colton.
In Jefferson County, hunters killed 22 bears in the Town of Wilna, seven in Antwerp, five in Philadelphia, and four in LeRay. In Fanklin County, seven bears were taken in the Town of Brandon, five in Tupper Lake and Dickinson, and four in Malone and Franklin.
Statewide Bear Take
The 2012 statewide bear take of 1,337 marked the third highest harvest in the past 20 years and an increase of 79 bears over the 2011 kill of 1,258 bears. The Central-Western bear hunting area saw a harvest of 289 black bears, the second highest in the areas history while the Southeastern bear hunting area had a 2012 kill of 442 bears, a number that is representative of the average harvest for the past 10 years. The 2012 take in both the Central-Western and Southeastern areas was a drop from 2011 when those areas saw record takes of 353 bears and 630 bears respectively.
According to a DEC press release, In both areas, take during bow season contributed substantially to the overall take (51 percent Southeastern, 37 percent Central-Western) and increased from 2011, reflecting the longer bow season initiated in 2012 and greater availability of bears during this period.
Notably, take during the regular season dropped in both areas.
The drop was most pronounced in Southeastern New York where biologists anticipated a potential reduced harvest due to early denning behavior associated with the general lack of soft and hard mast (apples, acorns, and beechnuts).

Reporter: Jessica Chapin
NOGALES, Ariz. (KGUN9- TV) - An urban mural is sparking outrage in Nogales as residents push to take it down. The controversy leaves city leaders torn between free speech, property rights, and public disapproval.
"That looks like grafilthy to me. Not even grafitti," said outraged resident Robert Mendez, who added that a particular depiction of a soldier with skull face offended him deeply.
Meanwhile, residents like Nelli Mallan remain un-phased.
"I have no problem and I come through here every single day," she said.
It's the topic of conversation around town, especially after more than 100 residents signed a petition to take it down. 9 On Your Side reporter Jessica Chapin spoke to the artist, Felix Lawrence about the controversial portion of the mural.
"The only way that I can get freedom of speech is to use private property like this," he said. Lawrence says he's tried purchasing billboard advertising from a variety of media corporations with no luck. He said the piece depicting the soldier with the words "Soldiers make war possible, Yankee come home and bring your drones" is a message that means soldiers should take into consideration the war and death to which they contribute when joining the military.
With a VFW less than a block away, that particular piece is gaining a lot of negative attention.
9 On Your Side reporter Jessica Chapin asked Lawrence what it would take for him to change the mural.
"If they were to compensate us and I'm talking thousands of dollars, we might voluntarily remove these if they recognize that our rights have value." When questioned further, he added, "I'm just suggesting an avenue for compromise, I'm saying we're willing to compromise. That's just one way to do it, it may not be a good way."
With a petition in the city's hands, 9 On Your Side went to Mayor Arturo Garino to find out how they're handling it. The mural is on private property, so Garino says the only means of control for them may be with signing ordinances. However, Garino says they would first like to facilitate a peaceful resolution.
"We're not going in the direction of having it removed unless the property owner is behind it 100 percent," he said, "Yesterday the property owner and the person that circulated the petition met with the deputy city manager at the residence. The property owner says that actually he wants it down."
9 On Your Side tried contacting property owner Manuel Lopez, but several attempts to reach him failed. Lawrence says they did not come to the conclusion to take down the mural. He says the city has no legal ground to stand on.
9 On Your Side also asked Garino about the artist's right to free speech.
"I'm all for free speech," he responded, "but if you have courtesy and if you respect your neighbors and you want something good there, why not get together and work on it?"
That is still the city's plan of action. As an artist and art instructor himself, Garino says he wants to continue to encourage public art in Nogales. He says this controversy, however, may lead to a new public art policy for the city.

One thousand patients with LHD who have no history of exposure to lead will be observed for 18 months. Blood lead level(BLL), biochemical data, hemoglobin, albumin, Cr, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (HsCRP), and blood cell counts are assessed at baseline. The morbidity and mortality are recorded in detail. Then, one hundred subjects with high BLL (>20μg/dl) will be randomly assigned to the study and control groups. For 3-6 months, the 50 patients in the study group will receive lead-chelation therapy with calcium disodium EDTA weekly until the BLB falls below BLL< 5 μg/dl, and the 50 control group patients receive weekly placebo for 12 weeks. During the ensuing 18 months, the BLL, biochemical data will be regularly followed up every 3 months. BLL is measured every 6 months. If BLL of the study group patients increase >10 μg/dl, the chelation therapy will be performed again until their BLL is <5 μg/dl. The primary end point is morbidity or mortality during the observation and follow-up period. A secondary end point is the change in hemoglobin, albumin, Cr and Hs CRP during the follow up period.

Kamikaze Smackdown: 5 minutes to hot wing glory
EUGENE, Ore. - Five minutes to eat as may kamikaze wings as you can: May 14 marked the first annual Kamikaze Smackdown wing eating competition at Hot Mama's Wings, 420 West 13th Ave.
The menu offers 15 different wing varieties, including the spiciest flavor of them all: kamikaze.
Contestants were challenged to eat - and keep down - as many kamikaze wings as they could in 5 minutes.
"Throwing up will get you disqualified, and I would like clean bones please," said Michael Marzano, owner of Hot Mama's, before the competition started.
The $15 entry fees were donated to United Way.
Ten contestants registered in the hopes of winning a weekend getaway at the coast, and several other 2nd and 3rd place prizes offered by SeQuential Biofuel, Oakshire Brewing and Bergs Ski Shop.
"Yeah I hope to do this again, maybe even have the competition twice a year," said Marzano.
Hot Mama's overflowed with cheering onlookers as the competition began and after five minutes of stuffing their faces, Jacob Keeton was announced as the winner.
After eating 22 wings in five minutes, Keeton said he planned on taking a "special someone" with him to the coast.

I am pretty disappointed with these. I bought 6 and have them together in a unit. The paint work chipped very quickly and the dowels that were provided quickly broke so we had to secure them again ourselves.
on Tuesday, May 05, 2015
I ordered 3 of these cubes and sadly all 3 were cracked and damaged in the corner. Jojo Maman Bebe customer service were really helpful and arranged replacements that arrived a few days later. 2 out of the 3 replacement cubes were also damaged but not as badly so we have just made do. Very poor quality for the money. They should be £15 not £25! I am surprised Jojo sell such a poor quality product as everything else we have bought we have been very happy with.

Extremely disappointed with these boxes. The paint work is chipped on every box and in some cases the wood is split. I was expecting more for the price I paid.
on Tuesday, January 20, 2015
Chipped paint around the edges, not a great finish but a simple and practical design and the drawers are lovely
on Saturday, November 22, 2014
I have to say my husband and i were extremely disappointed with the quality of the cubes. 3 out of the 5 cubes were damaged. Not sure i would recommend them to anyone.

Cubes are overall very nice and practical. They did not arrive at best condition - perhaps because they weren't wrapped carefully enough. One of the cubes had a split on one side, and a couple of screws were broken. I managed to build it all very quickly (even nine month pregnant)... :)

I was a bit doubtful when ordering after reading some of the reviews but overall I am happy with the quality of the storage cubes. They look good when put together with the fabric drawers in, however I do agree with some that they are a little bit overpriced. I did have a couple of fixings missing from the screw packs (both bags had a little hole in them so they had obviously fallen out along the way) but after a phone all to customer services a new screw pack was quickly sent out.
on Friday, October 03, 2014
Really pleased with these. I have two and they are excellent value given the price. I would recommend.

I almost sent the cube back as it has a few marks and chips on it but decided to keep it as they are on the bottom. Probably not quite what I expect from jojo.
on Thursday, May 29, 2014
Very nice; easy to put together
Catherine Goodey
on Monday, March 17, 2014
Easy to put together apart from a faulty fixing which jojo sent a replacement for very quickly. Seem fairly sturdy and will do the job.
on Tuesday, March 04, 2014
Practical storage solution that doubles up perfectly as a little table for craft and cake making. The added bonus is that it is very easy to clean!
on Wednesday, February 26, 2014
Brilliant... Look nice & fits allot! Highly recommended.

Best storage I could find.cubes are big and easy to make.perfect for our twins!
on Friday, December 13, 2013
The storage cubes do not assemble very well and are slightly wobbly when stacked. Also, all four cubes I ordered arrived with splits in the wood.
on Wednesday, November 27, 2013
These cube do the job perfectly. Not especially sturdy, but easy to put together and a neat finish. Some were slightly damaged bit nothing too bad. We're using them as occasional storage so they won't get heavy use. Not sure how they would cope with regular bashing!

I am sadly a little disappointed with these cubes - the quality is on the lower end of flat-packed furniture, and therefore I think they are very overpriced. They look like they cost less than £5 to make. Of 6 ordered, 3 had visible defects on them. The dowel holes have been drilled too big for the dowels provided and the metal cam holes have been drilled too deep - these are manufacturing quality issues. In addition, you can only stack 2 high and have then 'joined' by two dowels. You can't join 3 high unless you use your own fixings (bit dangerous not to join them as the kids pull the boxes from the cubes and could tip the cube over in the process).
on Wednesday, September 18, 2013
Really disappointing - pretty poor quality and not particularly sturdy. Wouldn't recommend.
Louise Connor
on Tuesday, September 03, 2013
Came in record time so I was very happy until I opened them and each of the 4 cubes I ordered were damaged! Cracks in the wood and chunks missing, I was not happy at all. I put them together and contacted jo jo's and after a few emails I able now been sent more cubes so at least this has been resolved. I expected better quality and maybe I just got a bad bath. Overall apart from the damage the cubes are lovely all be it a little expensive for a wooden cube.

These look great in our playroom and are very deep with the fabric drawers. However we did feel that the quality of the product was not satisfactory for the price. The finish was poor and there were chips on both cubes that we purchased. The screws were soft which made tightening difficult. The per-drilled holes were too deep. Overall nice looking product but too much money for the quality of product and not expected from jojo.
Amy Stuttle

Attractive, robust and a useful size. They are also very easy to assemble - took me 10 mins with a screwdriver and I was very proud of myself! They also fix vertically with other boxes for safe stacking.
on Thursday, July 04, 2013
What a disappointment. Loving Jojo with all my heart but this is worse than IKEA. It took my husband an hour to put two of these together (and he is an experienced DIY-er). A few of the screws that were supplied broke, the boards were chipped and badly finished and for all the effort and frustration, it was not worth the money. It looks ok now, sitting in the corner with the canvas jojo baskets inside but will not be buying any more of this kind.
on Tuesday, July 02, 2013
Very pleased with purchase. Sturdy, easy to assemble, and stylish.
Jules Dunlop

Excellent product, will be buying more though instructions are poor and there was marks one one of the sides.
on Wednesday, June 12, 2013
Really pleased with these cubes. I've put two together, side by side on the floor of my little boys bedroom, which give a great surface area to put a large dolls House on top and a lovely play surface. The quality is average I would say, but excellent value given the price of similar storage on the market. The jute boxes that fit in side look gorgeous (ive got one red and one navy), and really complete the product. Despite knowing the dimensions, the cubes and jute drawers were surprisingly far more spacious than I expected, and I can fit a few large toys inside each, for example the ELC rocket and farm. I would recommend.
on Thursday, May 09, 2013
My little girl absolutely loves her new bedroom furniture. We bought 8 of these cubes and they look great. They are really solid and store tonnes of toys. I'm definitely going to buy more for my little boy's room.

Fabric drawers are great quality and large enough to store lots of toys, however the cubes themselves were damaged upon arrival and look a bit worn already.
on Friday, April 12, 2013
Fabulous and inexpensive solution for the wealth of brightly coloured plastic that encroaches on your day to day life as a parent.
on Thursday, April 11, 2013
Easy to assemble, sturdy and stack brilliantly. Look great in our children's playroom.
on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
The cubes were definitely easy to assemble and delivered quickly. I agree that they are not great quality - quite a few marks and scuffs though managed to position to hide these. Out of 6 cubes only one of the locking screws was faulty (will contact Jojo for replacement), but they do look great.
J Hall
on Monday, January 21, 2013
Great storage. Good size.
Amy 0
on Monday, December 31, 2012
I loved the idea of these storage cubes and they look great on the website. They arrived promptly and the fabric drawers are lovely, the pink are a lovely colour. Unfortunately I don't feel the cubes themselves are particularly good quality, one of the locking screws broke in half when my husband was screwing them together. They do look a little bit cheap when made up and are most definitely NOT worth the money even with 15 off. However, they are practical and do hold lots of toys. Would I recommend them? Maybe. Are they over expensive? Yes, very much so!

Really pleased with this product, sturdy and easy to assemble. Extremely quick delivery too.

We got 3 of these cubes, bearing in mind previous comments about the manufacturing, so was fully prepared to be sending at least 2 back, but they were easy to assemble and are fab. Really sturdy and look very neat. I like that they are stackable too.

I bought these storage cubes because I have always been pleased with the quality of products from Jojo Maman Bebe. However, I was really disappointed with the cubes, there were lots of damaged parts. My complaint was dealt with straight away and I was sent replacement cubes the next day. I don't think these cubes are good value for money.
on Sunday, December 09, 2012
I brought the storage cubes with the fabric drawers from JoJo after I looked at other options from other shops; these were the most spacious as well as being great value. They arrived very quickly, and my little girl was very excited and wanted them put together straight away. They hold loads of toys, and look very neat and tidy in her room. A great storage solution. Very happy.

Very good storage solution for small rooms. The drawers are a good size and fit in loads of stuff.

Good product switfly delivered and little girl loves the fact she nows has drawers fro all her stuff that are easy to get to.

These units are great & sturdy, however they all came with faulty metal parts which my husband had to bang back into shape to fix them together. We were also disappointed that they didn't come with a shelf as pictured in the catalogue.

I was really pleased with these boxes and the fabric drawers that fit perfectly inside. They are really easy to assemble. I bought six boxes and one was faulty that could not be assembled, however JoJo swiftly sent me the relevant parts in order to rectify this and all is good. The only downside is that it would be good to have some white screw cap covers for the exposed screws as I am having difficulty finding these in any DIY shop.

I ordered two boxes but one of them arrived without the back panel and both of them had faulty screws. I Called JMB ane explained my problems and they sent me more screws that were still faulty!! (the metal melted out of the crew so you couldn't insert it in the holes provided). Very dissapointed.

Excellent product easy to assemble - huge box for massive storage - very sturdy and nice to look at!
on Saturday, September 22, 2012
Great product. Bought 4 two years ago and am now looking to get some more. Wish you still had the ones with doors and shelves. Are they still available anywhere?

I love these units - have had some for a few years, and have been addng to them as the kids and number of toys in the house have grown!!
They're such a good size to actually fit loads of toys in and look great.
JoJo - please bring back the ones with doors and the ones with a shelf - this is the best and most versatile storage system I've come across.

This is a great versatile unit. Very easy to assemble and a great place to store kids toys. Best bought with the baskets
on Sunday, August 05, 2012
We ordered three boxes for our son's room. All three of them had a slight imperfection which was disappointing but not visible once assembled and set up. We also ordered the fabric draws. These also look great and are very useful.
on Tuesday, July 10, 2012
Love them... bought 3x cubes to store toys in sitting room, easy to assemble in minutes! look great but most of all great to have toys off the floor....
on Tuesday, July 10, 2012
lovely storage makes my daughters bedroom look lovely and holds loads of stuff.

Excellent storage units and easy to assemble. Fabric quite delicate on the drawer inserts. Looks very pretty once assembled. I ordered 3 and will be ordering a 4th!
on Tuesday, July 10, 2012
Love these they are practical, easy to assemble and look good. I like the idea that you can add to it too! Great product I would highly recommend.
on Monday, July 02, 2012
Although these cubes look great on the picture they are in reality of very poor quality. Not one of the cubes I received was without some imperfection. There were problems with the fixings, damage to the boxes and quality of the paint covering on them was very hit and miss. Yes only £25 each but not worth even that in reality.
on Monday, April 02, 2012
We love these and they've really brightened up the nursery. My 9mo has now worked out how to get his toys out so they're nice and easy to use as well
on Sunday, December 04, 2011
We love the storage cubes especially like the light drawers with big handles - great for little fingers!
on Saturday, December 03, 2011
Really practical and an efficient way to keep toys and teddies sorted and off the floor in a small room. Drawers are light enough to move around the house.

Brideshead Revisited
"Brideshead Revisited" tells an evocative story of forbidden love and the loss of innocence set in the pre-WWII era. In the film, Charles Ryder becomes entranced with the noble Marchmain family, first through the charming and provocative Sebastian Flyte, and then his sophisticated sister, Julia. The rise and fall of Charles' infatuations reflect the decline of a decadent era in England between the wars.

Dog days of Summer
Dog owners need to make sure their pet gets enough fresh water in the Summer heat. Offering ways to keep the dog cool are important. Introducing dogs to each other as they might meet while passing each other in a park takes attention to details such as making sure he or she is on a leash. Cindy Martino and her mother Renee Martino of Anderson, owners of Snuggle Inn Doggie Resort in Anderson show how to cool off as well as introducing dogs to each other. Upstate Be

Compact Table Saw Showdown: Bosch vs Dewalt
Genius: Easton LaChappelle
Age: 15
Location: Mancos, Colo.
Put away your baking soda volcano—this kid built an animatronic hand. For his high school science fair project, Easton LaChappelle studied anatomical drawings to better understand finger joints and movement, then created a wirelessly controlled mechanical hand. The fingers are constructed of flexible wire tubing, while the "wrist" is reinforced with Lego bricks. Fishing wire runs through the tubing from the fingertips to five independent servos, providing the hand's motion. Next, LaChappelle sewed flex sensors into a standard athletic glove and wired them up to a custom Arduino controller board and shield. The shield sends wireless signals to a receiver on the animatronic hand. The whole setup works without a computer interface and costs only around $350. "Some strength is lost because of the materials I used," LaChappelle says, "but I can pick up a full can of soda with it."
Genius: Lucas Werthein
Age: 26
Genius: Kyle McDonald
Age: 26
Location: Brooklyn, N.Y.
Lucas Werthein lives in Brooklyn, N.Y., but his thoughts are never far from the rhythms of his native Brazil. A chance encounter in January allowed him to jump back into its music.
Werthein, a graduate of the interactive telecommunications program at NYU, was visiting friends back home when he met the legendary percussionist Carlinhos Brown. Brown, who comes from Salvador in Bahia, was to perform at Salvador's Carnival in March, and wanted something to amaze the thousands in attendance. Werthein had just the idea.
He and his collaborator, Kyle McDonald, designed a full bodysuit with 10 embedded piezoelectric drum pads. "Carlinhos would hit his body to describe the sounds he was looking to reproduce," Werthein says, "so a suit made sense."
As Brown played in front of 100,000 people, the suit—called EletroAxé, for an electronic form of the Bahian musical style—wirelessly transmitted the sounds of traditional Brazilian percussion instruments (bacurinhas, surdos), as well as a few nontraditional ones (lasers, bomb explosions).

BLOOMINGTON, Minnesota (KARE) - A group of Minnesota third graders got a unique science lesson at a special Earth Day event at the Mall of America.
On Monday, 72,000 ladybugs were released inside of the mall, and Visitation School's Sheriya Wentzlaff was there to see it.
"Before I got to hold these lady bugs, I was pretty scared of them," she said. "I overcame my fear and helped the lady bugs."
The bugs take the place of pesticides. The red and black insects are brought in to combat pests like aphids that would otherwise eat away at the mall's tropical plants.
"Ladybugs are what I like to call, sort of a biological defense system," said MOA's Senior Manager of Environmental Services Lydell Newby.

OCFF: THE LAST DRAGON Beer Feast
|Michael Schultz
|Taimak, Vanity, Christopher Murney
|Run Time
|Age Policy
21 and up. No one under 21 admitted.
|More Info
The Off-Centered Film Fest Dogfish Head Beer Feasts are legendary. There are beer dinners at the Alamo and around town throughout the year but none can hold a chopstick to what will happen at the 6th annual Alamo and Dogfish culinary collaboration. We've got "The Glow."
Once a year in Austin, Dogfish Head busts out special aged and hard-to-come-by kegs from their expansive cellars to share with audiences at the Alamo. Naturally, these events always sell out – so act fast! If you like quality craft beer, hi-fi gourmet food, and/or crazy high kicks… this feast is for you.
This year, we're coupling the 1985 mystical kung-fu comedy masterpiece THE LAST DRAGON with a meal fit for Bruce Leroy himself! Each epicurean course will be paired with one of eight ultra-special Dogfish beers. Each brew's characteristics and nuances will complement the ingredients of each course prepared by Alamo Austin Market Concept Chef Trish Eichelberger. If you've never seen Taimak karate chop an arrow in mid-flight on the big screen while sipping a 2011 Dogfish Chateau Jiahu, well, then you haven't lived.
THE LAST DRAGON is one of the most ridiculously fun movies to come out of the '80s, filled flying kung-fu kicks, brutal baddies, and featuring the lovely Prince protégé Vanity (formerly of Vanity 6)! See pizza dough used as a weapon! Hear three Asian men rapping "Uptown Girl"! Marvel at football pads used as urban samurai armor! One thing is for certain, after this feast you will always want to eat your popcorn with a pair of chopsticks.
Dogfish Head founder and head brewer Sam Calagione will host the event, asking the audience to "kiss his converse" and walking guests through the night's insane beer portfolio that will help bring each attendee to "Glow" status.
Behold the glorious menu!
Welcome Beer: 60 MIN IPA with Asian Spiced Popcorn and Chopsticks
Baby Corn- Corn Bread, Soy- Sambal Butter
With Aprihop & 2011 Bitches Brew
Fried Rib, Hoisin BBQ Sauce, Miso Braised Collard Greens
With 2011 Chateau Jiahu & Positive Contact
Fried Sesame Chicken Pizza, Tatsoi Greens, Daikon and Carrot Slaw
With Rhizing Bines
Chocolate Dipped Fortune Cookie
With 2011 Olde School Barley Wine & 2012 120 MIN thru RANDALL w/ Mosaic Hops

Student-athletes' demand for academic support has increased dramatically as they attempt to balance a full academic load with athletics. The recruitment, retention and graduation of student-athletes is vital to the success of collegiate athletics.Creighton University's Student-Athlete Support Center was a major renovation of existing space in the Creighton Gymnasium, with the goal of enlarging and improving locker rooms and support facilities. In addition to new locker rooms, the 13,000-square-foot Support Center includes The Parker Family Foundation Academic Learning Center, staff offices, an expanded athletic medicine area and additional athletics storage space.The Parker Family Foundation Academic Learning Center includes staff offices, 20 computer stations, study tables, sound-proof carrels for tutoring and partitions to divide the area into sections for quiet, individual or group study.The Blue and White Fund was established by former Creighton student-athletes, alumni and friends to support this $1.7 million renovation project, which was completed in the fall of 1998.

Managing fatigue in the 24/7 society
In today's 24/7 society, there is an increasing need for people to be awake and at work at all hours of the day. Extended work hours and night and shift work compete with the biological need to sleep and with daily rhythms driven by the biological clock. Even small amounts of chronic sleep loss lead to increased sleepiness on the job, during the commute, and at home—jeopardizing productivity, safety, and well-being.
At Washington State University's Sleep and Performance Research Center, we study sleep and wakefulness in normal people—going about their everyday lives or sequestered in the laboratory—to answer critical questions about the effects of reduced and displaced sleep on cognitive performance and health. Our goal is to find out how these effects can be prevented or mitigated.
Browse our research publications.
World-class research facility
We conduct our human sleep and performance studies in a 10,000-square-foot research facility located on the WSU Spokane campus in Spokane. The facility includes two contiguous laboratories, a sleep research laboratory and a simulation laboratory. Together they form an integrated sleep/wake/work facility, the only one of its kind in the world.
The sleep research laboratory consists of a four-bedroom suite for in-residence studies, which accommodates carefully controlled experiments to study the effects of sleep and sleep loss on human cognitive functioning. The simulation laboratory is equipped to collect performance data in highly realistic simulated scenarios that may be encountered by police officers, military personnel, commercial drivers, and others who work in high-risk, 24/7 operations.
See the facility.
Laboratory studies of sleep and performance
Our sleep research laboratory provides a highly controlled environment to investigate the sleep physiology and waking behavior of individuals on precisely timed sleep schedules. Ongoing studies focus on the effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, ranging from simple reaction time to complex decision making.
Volunteer as a research participant.
Field studies for occupational sleep medicine
While laboratory studies provide fundamental knowledge about the biology regulating sleep and performance, field studies are needed to understand the effects of reduced and displaced sleep on cognitive functioning in the context of the work environment and everyday life. Ongoing studies focus on the effects of different flight durations and departure times on flight crew effectiveness in commercial aviation.
Review our field study capabilities.
Operational fatigue risk management
In safety-sensitive environments such as transportation and the military, fatigue from sleep loss puts people and operations at risk. When fatigue lines up with technical difficulties, environmental stressors and time pressure, the probability of errors and accidents increases dramatically. In order to avoid catastrophic errors, sleep needs to be managed like other vital resources such as food or fuel supplies—a process that is part of fatigue risk management. We are developing new strategies for fatigue risk management, taking into account the latest discoveries about sleep and performance from our group and from collaborators around the world.
Go to YouTube for a video about our research on operational fatigue risk management.
Modeling fatigue and performance
Fatigue risk management relies in part on anticipating a person's cognitive performance deficits for a given sleep/wake/work schedule. This can be done with computer models that make quantitative predictions of performance capability over time. However, there are considerable inter-individual differences in how people respond to a particular schedule. We produced the first biomathematical model of sleep and performance that accounts for these inter-individual differences, and developed the first physiology-based model of performance impairment in people working extended hours and sleeping insufficiently.

Morris Small Wall Light Packs: Tough and Compact Outdoor Security Lighting, Anywhere You Need It
Filed under: Lighting, Security and Surveillance, Traffic Control and Safety, Workplace Safety
Under normal circumstances, the dark doesn't bother me, but put a big chunk of darkness between all-by-my-lonesome me and my car in a semi-sketchy neighborhood, and then you've got something else altogether. A few years back, I spent 4th of July on the beach with friends in a city that has an incredibly swank little downtown district, which happens to back right up to the Atlantic. Unfortunately, said swank entertainment district had been carved out of some surrounding unsavory neighborhoods, which still had a reputation to be home to some… ummm… "interesting characters" during the after-hours time slot.
When I had arrived, parking was almost non-existent, and as a last resort, many visitors were leaving their cars on the street in the very outer reaches of safety. Everything looked okay in the bright sun, but that night, when the fireworks had ended and the crowds thinned, it was a long, dark and somewhat nerve-wracking walk back, alone, through some extremely dark, shadowy, and slightly-too-quiet side streets.
I'd have given anything to have a few more of these babies around.
Morris Small Wall Pack Lighting Units are designed to provide an extra measure of weatherproof, tamper-resistant safety lighting in both outdoor and semi-outdoor settings like parking garages, walkways, entry ways, loading docks, building perimeters, and anywhere else that danger can potentially strike in the dark. They not only help make the bad guys a little more visible, but also make it easier for pedestrians to see, and avoid, hazards or obstacles that may be in their paths.
Small Wall Pack Lights are available with High Pressure Sodium or Metal Halide lamps, and are UL 924 listed, so they're safe for use even in damp or wet environments. They include knockouts that allow for optional installation over conduit, and can even be customized with photo sensors, so that they automatically turn on when it gets dark enough for you to need the extra light.
