"Sudden Infant Death (SIDS) is responsible for more infant deaths in the U.S. than any other cause of death during infancy beyond the neonatal period."
So states an American Academy of Pediatrics Task Force Report.
They published their first policy statement regarding SIDS in 2000 and updated it in 2005.
The AAP tells us there has been a major decrease in the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome, but more education is needed to bring the death rate down further.
It is hoped by this article to give everyone the latest information about what we can do to prevent SIDS.
When an infant dies, it affects the whole community. Parents and relatives are devastated.
The nine months of waiting and preparation to welcome this new life seem empty and useless. The hopes for this new generation are dashed.
The grief can be overwhelming as can be the guilt.
What did we do wrong? Could we have prevented this? How do we go on?
Besides the parents and relatives, the Emergency Workers who are the first responders, feel frustrated that they were not able to revive what looks to be a healthy infant.
The police have to be called and will need to start an investigation.
In addition, an autopsy will be necessary as the hospital doctor who examines the infant can see no obvious reason for the death.
Also, according to State Law, an investigation into any sudden, unexpected, or unexplained death of a child must be conducted by the Department of Family and Children and the Child Fatality Review Team. Everyone involved comes to a renewed commitment to prevent this from happening.
What do we know about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome? How can we reduce the incidence in the future? We all want to raise infants to be happy, healthy, lively children.
Recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics:
*Since 1992, "Back to Sleep" has been the instruction given to new parents. This is credited with the steep decrease in SIDS. Many of us learned through a national campaign some new information in 1994 : DO NOT PUT INFANTS TO SLEEP ON THEIR TUMMIES.
This was re-emphasized in the 2005 report. Placing infants on their backs lowers the risk of SIDS and is the preferred sleep position for a new infant.
Side sleep position was declared unstable as the baby can roll over too easily. So the AAP no longer recognizes side sleeping as an acceptable alternative to BACK TO SLEEP!
* Use a firm sleep surface: a firm crib mattress with a sheet is the best. DO NOT USE SOFT MATERIALS OR OBJECTS LIKE PILLOWS, QUILTS, OR COMFORTERS TO PLACE UNDER THE BABY. Risk for SIDS increases in the winter because of these materials.
* As a matter of fact, KEEP SOFT OBJECTS LIKE STUFFED ANIMALS AND LOOSE BEDDING OUT OF THE INFANT'S BED.
If a bumper is used, it should be thin, firm, not pillow like, and securely tied.
If a blanket is used, it should be tucked in around the crib mattress at the bottom and sides and come no higher than the baby's chest.
Better to use sleep clothing or an infant sleep sack that keeps the baby warm without the hazard of head covering.
In almost every study of SIDS, this is a major risk factor.
Further in the 2005 report we are instructed to AVOID AN INFANT'S EXPOSURE TO SECOND HAND SMOKE (parents and others smoking in the infant's presence).
"Smoking in the infant's environment after birth has emerged as a separate risk factor in some studies." Other new factors in 2005 include late or no prenatal care, young maternal age, and premature birth with low birth weight.
Parents with these factors need to be especially vigilant.
* A SEPARATE BUT CLOSE-BY SLEEPING ENVIRONMENT is recommended. The incidence of SIDS is reduced when the infant sleeps in the same room as the mother, but BED SHARING IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
"Close by" enables the mother to more easily breast feed, and comfort, but infants should BE RETURNED TO THEIR OWN BED/CRIB WHEN THE PARENT IS READY TO FALL ASLEEP.
Infants should not bed-share with other children either.
Offer the pacifier at nap time and bedtime.
The evidence of reduced risk of SIDS with a pacifier is compelling, and it has not been shown to interfere with breast feeding or to cause dental problems if used only during the first year of life.
Pacifiers should be cleaned often, and replaced regularly.
Firmly establish breast feeding for about one month before offering the pacifier and don't insist if the infant refuses it.
Overbundling should be avoided. Lightly clothe the infant for sleep and keep the bedroom temperature comfortable for a lightly clothed adult.
The infant should not feel hot to your touch.
*Commercial devices have NOT been shown to be helpful in preventing SIDS, nor are they efficient or safe.
Only use medical electronic or cardiorespiratory monitors if you have been so instructed by your doctor in cases where your child has cardiorespiratory instability.
Home monitors (non medical) can help you know when your infant is awake, needs company, or otherwise wants to be held. The AAP has recommended that these home monitors NOT be used as a strategy to prevent SIDS.
*"TUMMY TIME" can be used when the infant is AWAKE AND BEING OBSERVED.
This will help with motor skill development. CHILD CARE GIVERS MUST BE INSTRUCTED about this as SIDS deaths occurring in child care have remained constant.
Twenty to 28 percent of child care centers continue to place infants on their stomachs being unaware of "BACK TO SLEEP" and/or misinformed about risks of various sleep positions. Inform grandparents and babysitters.
Avoid excessively using bouncers, pumpkin chairs, and car seat carriers.
To avoid the "flat back of head," vary the head position when placing the infant on his/her back, For one week turn the infant's head to the right and then change to the other side for a week.
Reverse the baby's position in the crib (head of the baby to foot of the bed occasionally) so if he/she watches the door for a response, the head will receive equal time on either side.
Let's hope these recommendations help prevent the tragedy of SIDS in our community!

Brookings Mountain West presents "U.S.-China Relations in the Twenty-First Century"
Brookings Mountain West presents "Strategic Reassurance and Resolve: U.S.-China Relations in the Twenty-First Century," a talk by Michael O'Hanlon, senior fellow, Foreign Policy.
After forty years of largely cooperative Sino-U.S. relations, policymakers, politicians, and pundits on both sides of the Pacific see growing tensions between the United States and China. Some go so far as to predict a future of conflict, driven by the inevitable rivalry between an established and a rising power, and urge their leaders to prepare now for a future showdown. Others argue that the deep economic interdependence between the two countries and the many areas of shared interests will lead to more collaborative relations in the coming decades. Michael O'Hanlon stakes out a third, less deterministic position. He argues that there are powerful domestic and international factors, especially in the military and security realms, that could well push the bilateral relationship toward an arms race and confrontation, even though both sides will be far worse off if such a future comes to pass. He contends that this pessimistic scenario can be confidently avoided only if China and the United States adopt deliberate policies designed to address the security dilemma that besets the relationship between a rising and an established power. The speaker proposes a set of policy proposals to achieve a sustainable, relatively cooperative relationship between the two nations, based on the concept of providing mutual strategic reassurance in such key areas as nuclear weapons and missile defense, space and cyber operations, and military basing and deployments, while also demonstrating strategic resolve to protect vital national interests, including, in the case of the United States, its commitments to regional allies.

Product placement is a regular source of income for blockbuster movies. Accordingly, it seems fit that the porn industry is now exploiting this source of revenue. Maybe product placement in porn has been around for longer when we think, but the point is that there are now agencies like NextMedium who will help to embed your product. The question I have is, "How pervasive will mainstream brands be in this medium?"
Last week, we discussed that fashion labels are associating themselves with porn. In that article, learned that Adidas featured an ad with Jenna Jameson and Marc Jacobs even allowed a dirty pic to be filmed in his SoHo boutique. With these traditional lines blurring, it is only a matter of time before the big brands hop into the dirty pics (if they're not there already).
From the Huffington Post:
The CEO of NextMedium, which has launched a product placement marketplace called Embed, states that, "To date, product placement has been opportunistic and Rolodex based. Our goal is to establish brand integration as an ad category." To meet that goal, a product could be written--that is, entrenched--into a story line.
Along those lines, in order to give a particular scene a certain organic feel, where product placement must be integral to the plot, a porn director arranged for a couple to use a sex machine built for two, with the male playing the role of an activist salesman. "This the Televibe 8100," he explains to her as they proceed to undress. "It can be operated remotely either by telephone or over the Internet." She asks, "How does it work?"

Bollinger Algiers, L.L.C., and Bollinger Amelia Repair, L.L.C., two Bollinger Shipyards, Inc. companies, have redelivered the double hull asphalt Barge B. No. 235, a 133,000 barrel (BBL) Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA'90) compliant tank barge and accompanying tug, J. George Betz, a 6140 horsepower oceangoing tug, back into service for Bouchard Transportation Co., Inc., Melville, NY as an Articulated Tug/Barge (ATB) unit.
In an effort to continue upgrading their fleet, Bouchard contracted with Bollinger Shipyards to upgrade both the tank barge B. No. 235 and the oceangoing Tug J. George Betz to better serve Bouchard's customer base, increasing the safety and efficiencies of the barge and tug as an articulated unit.
The Barge B. No 235 was taken out of service and delivered to Bollinger's Amelia facility to install the Intercon connection system and upgrade the barge with a full ballast system. During the conversion process, the barge also completed its regulatory docking and permitting process prior to successfully completing builder's trials. Returning to full service as an ATB asphalt capable tank barge, the barge measures 483 ft by 80 ft by 36.2 ft without the tug coupled into the notch.
At the same time that the Barge B. No 235 was taken out of service, the accompanying tug, J. George Betz, was delivered to the Bollinger Algiers facility to install the Intercon connection system, upgrade the vessels electronics systems as well as complete regulatory docking and permitting with The American Bureau of Shipping. When returned to service, the 127-ft by 37-ft by 20-ft, 6140 bhp tug will be able to lock into the barge for safe, efficient sailing as an articulated unit.
After completing builder's trials, the vessels departed to take on its first load of product as an ATB unit.

White House cites Tucson shooting survivor for work against gun violence
WASHINGTON — Pam Simon said she remembers only part of what happened that January day in the parking lot of a Tucson supermarket.
"A person appeared … and shots began to be fired," Simon said. "You kind of go into another reality."
She was one of the first to be hit when a gunman opened fire at a "Congress in Your Corner" event held by then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, for whom Simon was working as a staffer. Six people were killed and she and Giffords were among 13 wounded.
Until that day, Simon, a one-time middle school teacher in Tucson, never thought gun violence was an important issue. Until that day, she said, gun violence was always something that happened to other people.
Since that day, Simon has become an activist with organizations across the country that work to prevent gun violence.
Her efforts brought her to Washington this week, where she was acknowledged Thursday as a White House "Champion of Change" for her work on gun control.
"I'm really happy that she was honored," said Lizzie Ulmer of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, one of the many groups Simon has worked with. "She's a role model for other survivors."
Simon said she considers the White House honor as recognition not just for her but for all the survivors of the Tucson shooting.
Rep. Ron Barber, D-Tucson, remembers the Tucson shooting as a "horrifying day … a day that changed all of our lives." He was on Giffords' staff and was at the event where he was among the wounded.
"We've become close, like family," said Barber, who succeeded Giffords in office. "Pam … has been a major part in leading the survivor group."
Simon remembers ducking when the shooting began that day. A bullet went through her hand, into her chest, passed over her heart and lodged in her hip. After she fell, she couldn't see what was happening but heard people rushing to help the victims.
Since then, she has been active with Moms Demand Action and Arizonans for Gun Safety, as well as the mayors' group. During the last presidential election, she helped Mayors Against Illegal Guns "demand a plan" from the candidates for reducing gun violence.
She accused gun-rights groups of scaring people into thinking that any gun-control measure means they are losing their rights.
That drew a sharp rebuke from Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, who called gun control "a criminal's friend."
"I believe she's losing the argument, or else this would be a more dangerous country to live in," said Pratt of Simon's efforts. He said the country is safer with more guns, not fewer.
But Simon said the numbers argue otherwise. In addition to the high-profile mass shootings – Tucson, Columbine, Aurora, Sandy Hook and this week's Fort Hood attack – she said that gun violence claims 33 people every day in the U.S.
Simon said she is now focusing her efforts on improving mental health resources and bringing background checks on potential gun owners to law in every state.
She said 16 states and Washington, D.C., now require background checks on anyone purchasing a gun, what she called a "small step" to a safer country.
She praised President Barack Obama for taking up the gun-control fight but said there is still much to be done – and vowed to keep working, despite relatively little progress since she was shot.
Even though she said there have been some setbacks on gun-control legislation, "we've made great headway."
"This is going to be one of those issues that is not going to be solved overnight," said Simon, who thinks that in such long battles, it is important "that we celebrate the small steps."
Barber, who called the shooting a unifying experience for those involved, said he wanted to commend Simon for "her courage and her energy" in the years since that day.
"I'm very proud of her … she didn't let that day define her," he said.

AUSTIN - Three Rice pitchers combined on a one-hitter, while the Owl offense was in high gear with 13 hits, as the Rice baseball team stormed to a 7-2 victory over No. 7 ranked Texas Tuesday night UFCU Disch-Falk Field in Austin.
Rice came out swinging and started the scoring in the top of the second inning. Connor Teykl lined a leadoff base hit through the right side and Ford Stainback followed with a walk. Teykl hustled to third on fly-out to foul territory on the right side, and he trotted home on an RBI single by Charlie Warren.
Texas came back and tied the game, but did so without getting a hit. Madison Carter drew a one-out walk and ended up taking two stations on a pair of wild pitches. He scored on a ground out by Zane Gurwitz that made it 1-1.
The Owls quickly returned serve in the top of the third. Shane Hoelscher lined a leadoff double that landed just inside the right field line for his 200th career Rice hit. He advanced to third on John Clay Reeves' sacrifice bunt and sprinted home on Connor Teykl's grounder to first base for a 2-1 advantage.
Rice erupted for five runs in the top of the fifth for its biggest offensive inning in three weeks. The Owls collected five hits, a walk and hit batsman while sending a total of ten men to the plate to stretch the margin to 7-1.
Texas got one run back in the bottom of the frame. Gurwitz drew a one-out walk, went to second on a stolen base and scored on the Horns' first hit of the game by Ben Johnson.
Caleb Smith started on the mound for the Blue & Gray and gave way to Trevor Teykl in the bottom of the second. Teykl went on to work a career-long 5.1 innings where he allowed one hit and two walks with three strikeouts. Freshman Jon Duplantier pitched the final 2.1 scoreless innings, walking one and striking out two. The pitchers enjoyed a steady defensive effort in the field with three double plays.
Eight of the nine Owls in the batting order hit safely and four had two hits in the 13-hit attack. Hoelscher led all players with three hits, and he also drew a walk with two runs scored.
Rice improved to 23-12 on the season. The Longhorns are now 26-8 overall, losing at home for only the fifth time this year.
The Owls' current road swing continues through next week. Rice next plays a three-game C-USA series at Tulane April 11-13. Friday's contest is slated for a 6:30 pm start in New Orleans, La.

Sept. 9, 1958 R. G. CLAPP 2,851,521 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FOR KEEPING A SCANNING LIGHT BEAM CENTERED ON A LINE Filed Jan. 11. 1954 IN V EN TOR. lF/CH/VRD g CL HPP BY Mme/76y United States Patent ELECTREQAL SYSTEM FflR KEEPING A SCAN- NING LIGHT BEAJM CENTERED ON A LINE assignor to Philco a corporation of Penn The present invention relates. to electrical systems and more particularly to systems for producing a television signal from a so-called video recording.
In many instances it is desired to broadcasta television program at a time subsequent to its initial presentation. In order to do this, it has been the practice to make a photographic record of the picture portion of the television-program material from the face of a cathode ray tube, and to use this recording as the picture image source for the subsequent broadcast by supplying the same to an appropriate camera system which is adapted to produce a video signal indicative of the program material. The camera system used may be of the type well known as: a flying spot scanner or may be of the type known as an image storage camera. Whichever type of camera system is used, it is fundamental to the operation of the camera that the recorded image must be scanned in consecutive segments, e. g., line by line, by means of an analyzing spot which, in the case of aflying'spot scanner, is alight spot generated by a cathode ray tube, or, in the case of an image storage camera, is the spot produced by an electron beam which is scanned over a photosensitive target system onto which the recorded image is. projected.
As is well known, during each frame period the original program material is broken down' into a plurality of discrete horizontal line elements by the scanning operation to produce a video wave. When the picture is reproduced by a cathode ray tube a similar scanning operation serves to reassemble the line elements in their original position. It will be appreciated that the width of the reproduced line elements will be determined by the size of the light spot produced by the cathode ray beam. The size of the light spot must necessarily be kept small in order to achieve the desired degree of horizontal resolution in the reproduced image. As a result, the picture line elements reproduced by the cathode ray tube will be spaced apart and the resulting picture will exhibit a line structure. When the picture is photographed to produce a video recording, this-line structure will also appear on the photographic record.
An important problem which exists in reproducingvideo recordings, is that the exploring spot of the camera system does not necessarily follow exactly the picture line elements of the recorded image. This is due to the fact that the vertical scanning rate of the cathode ray tube serving to produce the recording cannot feasibly be made identical to the vertical scanning rate of the reproducing camera system, and to the fact that the recording may not be accurately positioned in the optical path of the camera. As a result, the scanning spot may stray from the axes of the picture line elements and actually scan the spaces between the line elements. This misalignment of the scanning spot brings about a loss of vertical definition in the image reproduced at the home receiver and may even produce a beat pattern in the reproduced image.
It has beenproposed to reduce theline structure of from which the video recording is made so that adjacent,
picture line elements are substantially in contact. While this expedient substantially reduces the possibility of producing beat patterns in the image reproduced at the home receiver, it does not lessen the loss of the vertical definition of the image such as occurs when the exploring spot of the reproducing camera overlaps two lines of the recorded image. 7
Accordingly it is an object of the invention to provide improved systems for reproducing video recordings.
A further object of the invention is to provide improved systems for reproducing a video recording having aline structure in a manner which avoidsbeat patterns in the image reproduced at a home receiver.
Another object of the invention is to provide improved systems: of the foregoing type characterized in that the generated. video signal contains substantially all of the resolvable image information contained in the video recording to be reproduced.
Further objects of the invention will appear as the specification progresses.
In accordance with the invention, in a television system adapted to produce a video signal by the scanning action of an image exploring spot over an image made up of consecutive picture line elements, the foregoing. objects are achieved-by utilizing the line structure of the image to control the position of the exploring spot of the camera system so 'that the spot is confined to a path along, the image lines to be scanned. More particularly, and in a preferred embodiment of the invention; the' foregoing objects are achieved by utilizing the line structure of a video recording to produce a control signal which serves to restrict the exploring spot of the reproducing camera to paths coincident with the consecutive picture line elements of the recording. To generate the said control signal, meansare provided for imparting to the exploring spot an'auxiliary deflection in a direction transverse to its scanning direction along the picture line element of an amplitude suificient to cause the spot to make periodic excursions into the spaces bounding the line element, and for deriving from the camera system an output signal having a phase and magnitude as determined by the direction and extent of the average departure of the exploring 7 spot from the desired path.
The invention will be described in greater detail with reference to the appended drawings forming part of the specification andin. which:
Figure 1 is a block diagram, partly schematic, showing one form of video recording reproducing system in accordance with the invention; and
Figure 2 is a diagrammatic representation showing oneform of the scanning action which takes place in the systems in accordance with the invention.
Referring to Figure l, the video recording to be re produced is shown diagrammatically at 10. In order to simplify the drawing and description, only a single frame of the video recording has been illustrated; However, it will be understood that, in general, the video recording is in the form of a continuous film having: successive frames of the television-program material. Furthermore, although not shown, it will. be understoodv that a suitable mechanism is provided for intermittently advancing successive frames of the tele* vision-program film into the scanning position. Such a mechanism may be of conventional form well known in the art and, since it forms no part of the present invention, no further description thereof herein is be lieved to'be necessary.
For analyzing the video recording, thereby to produce a video. signal indicative: of. the television-program ma terial, there is provided a flying spot scanner 12 and a photo-electric pickup system 14. Scanner 12 is conventional in form, except to the extent hereinafter to be pointed out, and comprises a cathode ray tube 16 containing, within an evacuated envelope 18, an electron beam generating and intensity control system comprising a cathode 20, a control electrode 22, a focusing electrode 24 and an accelerating electrode 26. The electrode 26 may consist of an electrically conductive coating on the inner wall of the envelope. Electrode 22 is maintained at a desired operating bias voltage by means of a negative potential source shown as C-- which is connected to the electrode. Suitable voltage sources shown as B+ and B++ serve to energize the focusing electrode 24 and the accelerating electrode 26. The end face 23 of the tube 16 is provided with a coating (not shown) of a fluorescent material serving to produce a light spot when energized by the impinging electron beam. As a rule the fluorescent coating consists of a material having a short persistence and may consist typically of zinc oxide.
A deflection yoke 30, which is coupled to horizontal and vertical scanning generators 32 and 34 respectively, is provided for scanning the electron beam over the fluorescent coating of the face plate 28. The generators 32 and 34 are conventional in form and may consist of sawtooth current generators operating at line and field scanning frequencies as determined by the standards of the television system. For example, generator 32 may operate at a frequency of 15,750 c./sec. and generator 34 may operate at 60 c./sec. in accordance with present day standards.
The cathode ray tube 16 is additionally provided with two auxiliary yokes 36 and 38 adapted to deflect the beam in a vertical direction for purposes later to be discussed in detail.
The flying light spot produced by scanning the coated face plate 28 serves as an exploring spot for video recording which, in turn, modulates the intensity of the light spot as determined by the light transmission and/or reflection of the various picture elements thereof. By means of the photo-electric pickup 14 the so modulated light is converted into a video signal having amplitude variations indicative of the picture intelligence contained in the recording 10. The signal generated by the pickup 14 is supplied to the utilization circuit thereof through a low pass filter 46. Filter 46 may be conventional in form and may consist of a pi-network having a cut-off frequency of 4 mc./ sec. as shown.
A projection-lens system, shown diagrammatically as a single lens element 40, is interposed between the face plate 28. and the recording 10 and serves to focus the light spot generated by the tube 16 onto the surface of the recording 10. A collecting-lens system, shown diagrammatically as a lens element 42, serves to collect the modulated light from the image recording and to direct the same to the photo-electric pickup 14.
In order to avoid a loss of the picture information contained in the video recording, it is necessary that the path of the exploring light spot produced by the cathode ray tube 16 coincide with the axes of the picture line elements of the recording 10. This coincidence between the scan sions of the light spot and the picture line elements obtains only when the displacement of the consecutive line scansions of the exploring spot exactly corresponds to the displacement of the consecutive picture line elements of the recording and when the recording is properly positioned in the optical system of the camera. When these conditions are not fulfilled, a greater or a lesser amount of the picture information is lost depending on the extent of the misalignment between the path of the exploring light spot and the picture line elements of the recording 10. In the most severe case, in which the exploring spot scans between two adjacent picture lines and the size of the spot is less than the spacing between the picture line elements, no video information will be derived from the recording. When the size of the exploring spot is greater than the spacing between adjacent image lines of the recording and scans a path midway between the lines, the vertical resolution of the camera system is seriously impaired, and in addition the intensity of the video signal produced is reduced.
In order to control the vertical position of the exploring light spot so that its path is always centered about the picture line elements of the video recording 10 being scanned, the system of Figure 1 provides means for imparting an auxiliary vertical deflection to the cathode ray beam thereby to cause the exploring light spot produced thereby to make a plurality of excursions into the spaces bounding the picture line element during each line scansion period. This auxiliary vertical deflection of the cathode ray beam, and hence of the exploring light spot, may take any of several forms. For example, the auxiliary vertical deflection may have a sawtooth waveform or may have a stepped rectangular pulse form. In the form most simply realized, the auxiliary vertical deflection is sinusoidal as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 diagrammatically illustrates a small portion of the video recording 10 and the path of an exploring light spot which is sinusoidally deflected as it scans along one of the line elements of the recording. Portions of three of the picture line elements have been shown as 50, 52 and 54, the spaces between the line elements are shown at 56 and 58, and the exploring light spot is shown at 60. The sinusoidal path of the spot as it scans the picture line element 52 has been indicated by the numeral 62.
The above noted auxiliary deflection of the exploring light spot is produced by vertically deflecting the cathode ray beam by energizing the auxiliary deflection yoke 36 by means of a wobble oscillator 48. The oscillator 48 may be conventional in form and may consist of an electron discharge device having its input and output electrodes coupled together in regenerative feedback relationship by means of a resonant circuit. The operating frequency of the oscillator should be high compared to the horizontal scanning frequency so that a plurality of excursions of the light spot occur during each horizontal scansion period and desirably the frequency thereof is greater than the maximum frequency of the video signal to be generated. In a typical case oscillator 48 operates at a frequency of the order of 7 mc./sec. The amplitude of the signal supplied by the oscillator 48 to the auxiliary deflection yoke 36 may be adjusted in well known manner to limit the excursions of the beam produced thereby so that, when the exploring light spot is centered on a given line picture element, it does not impinge on the adjacent picture line elements of the video recording.
The auxiliary vertical deflection of the exploring spot 60 (see Figure 2) causes the spot to impinge the spaces 56 and 58 twice during each cycle of the auxiliary vertical deflection so that a series of light pulses is produced. When the path of the light spot 60 is directly centered about the axis of the line element 52 these light pulses are spaced at equal time intervals and produce a 14 mc./sec. signal in the photo-electric pickup 14. However, if the center of movement of the light spot departs from the axis of the line element 52, adjacent pairs of the light pulses will be brought closer together or spaced farther apart so that a 7 mc./sec. signal will be generated by the pickup 14. This 7 mc./sec. signal exhibits a phase polarity and an amplitude as determined by the direction and extent of the departure of the light spot from the axis of the pictureline element 52.
The 7 mc./sec. signal so produced may be selectively derived from the output of the pickup 14 by means of a bandpass filter 64 (see Figure 1). Filter 64 may be conventional inform and may consist of an inductancecapacitance circuit broadly resonant at 7 mc./sec.
The signal derived from the filter '64 is supplied to a phase comparator 66 to which is also supplied a signal at 7 mc./sec. from the oscillator 48. Phase comparator. 66 may be conventional in form and may consist for example of a bridge, two arms of which are made up of diode elements which are energized in phase opposition by one of the input signals and in the same phase sense by the other of the input signals. In one form, the phase comparator may be of the type described by R. H. Dish- 5 ington in the publication Proceedings of the I. R. E., December 1949, at page 1401 et seq. The output signal of the phase comparator 66 exhibits a polarity and amplitude as determined by the phase and amplitude of the signal derived from the bandpass filter 64 and may be used for maintaining the exploring spot centered on the picture lines of the recording by supplying the same to the auxiliary vertical deflection yoke 38. Alternatively, and as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, the output signal of the phase comparator 66 may be supplied to the vertical deflection winding of the yoke 30, thereby to vary the amplitude of the vertical deflection field in well known manner and maintain the desired registration between the light spot and the picture line elements of the recording 10. When this latter arrangement is used, the auxiliary yoke 38 becomes unnecessary.
While the invention has been described with specific reference to the use of a flying spot scanner system, it will be apparent that the invention is also applicable to other forms of camera systems for reproducing video recordings. For example, the invention is also applicable to reproducing camera systems utilizing a storage typecamera tube in which the recording is projected onto a photo-sensitive cathode, thereby to form an electron image which similarly exhibits a line structure and which is subsequently scanned by an electron beam contained within the camera tube. By additionally deflecting the beam in the manner previously described, the beam is made to produce a control signal in the signal pickup system of the camera tube. This control signal may be separated from the desired video signal by an appropriate filter system and used, as above described, to maintain the beam centered about the spaced picture line elements of the image formed by projecting the recording onto the photosensitive cathode.
While I have described my invention in a specific embodiment and by means of specific examples I do not wish to be limited thereto for obvious modifications will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
What I claim is:

Are Mandatory Vaccinations Causing Autism In Black Boys?
in Women
Is the Center For Disease Control guilty of covering up a sinister plot to destroy black boys? Many of us remember the Tusgeegee Experiment in which black men were infected with syphilis to observe how long it took them to die. Now, a new study has revealed that the mandatory vaccines required for children to receive before enrolling in school overwhelmingly lead to autism in black boys. Our guests today, Doris Lewis and James Muhammad, will tell us about the upcoming town hall meeting about this issue and what we as parents and concerned citizens must do to stop the genocidal attack on our children through mandatory vaccinations

"It looks bad. It's only witness tampering if you attempt to impact their testimony. But he's come within a coat of paint of doing that."
"There have always been questions about reliability (of) other types of evidence -- eyewitness testimony or circumstantial evidence. Once they see the DNA evidence, there's no question. You are either guilty or not guilty."
"This was a very complex case, and the jury heard testimony from witnesses unlike any trial that's really been held here in the southern district of Indiana before. There were many difficult legal concepts to grasp and we are extremely pleased with the outcome of this trial."
"Ninety percent of the evidence is going to be the testimony of these 42 inmate witnesses, and every single one will be getting something."
"The witness whose testimony was struck was their first and perhaps their strongest witness, and so that could make it difficult going forward on the case."
"Questions surrounding testimony from the key witness in these cases, coupled with recommendations from the Board of Pardons and Paroles, weighed heavily on my final decision,"

Northview center Nick Wells goes up for two of his 10 points in Friday's game against Edgewood.
ELLETSVILLE -- All the scouting reports that Northview had for Edgewood showed a physical team who liked to pound the ball inside and wear teams out in their four wins this year. But what the Knights got on Friday, no one expected.
Sophomore junior varsity regular Tommy Weakley, playing in only his second varsity game, hit all six of his 3-pointers in the second quarter as the Mustangs turned a three point lead into a 15 point advantage at halftime.
The Knights never were able to recover against Edgewood who displayed uncanny accuracy from beyond the arc, hitting 12-of-18 3-pointers in the game (66 percent) and the Mustangs rolled to a 62-48 win.
"We knew (Weakley) was a good player," commented Northview head coach Mitch Lancaster afterwards. "We saw him as a freshman in the WIC Tournament, but you don't expect a sophomore to come in and play at that level."
Northview struggled to hold onto the ball in the game and outside of a 7-0 run in the second quarter that narrowed a 22-11 Edgewood lead to 22-18, the Knights had trouble finding any offensive consistency. After Northview closed to within four points at 22-18, Weakley went to work, hitting six of his seven 3-pointers in the period on the way to 23 points and essentially putting the game away before halftime.
"Our ballhandling is at rockbottom right now," noted Lancaster. "We have people who can't dribble the ball, can't catch the ball and turn the ball over without any pressure and it seems like it snowballs as we lose confidence."
The Knights got some strong early play from center Nick Wells who blocked three early shots by the Mustangs on the interior. He would score five of his 10 points in the second quarter before Edgewood started raining down shots from the perimeter.
In the second half, Weakley opened the half with his seventh shot from long range and Northview's hopes appeared dashed with the Mustangs scoring the first nine points of the half to take a 47-23 advantage. The Knights would finish off the half on a 9-3 run as Wells and Matt Stuckey scored a pair of baskets and Jared Timm scored on a drive and Brinn Meunier closed the quarter with a 3-pointer.
Northview trailed 50-32 heading into the fourth quarter but each time the Knights attempted a rally, the Mustangs came through with an answer. The Mustangs would go to the free throw line 22 times compared to just nine for the Knights and closed out the game by hitting 10-of-13 in the fourth period.
Northview's reserves played strong in the final minutes with Matt Crooks hitting a pair from long range and Timm adding six of his team-high 13 points in the final minutes but it was not enough.
"I thought our kids at the end battled and took care of the ball better than some of our starters. We need to do some evaluations," said Lancaster of his 1-3 Knights.
Northview will return to action tonight with a tripleheader featuring the freshman, JV and varsity teams facing a 2-0 Avon squad beginning at 5 p.m.

Visual cues have been shown to play an important role in how students learn and recall information about Earth processes. In this pilot study, we have investigated the role of visual cues on students ability to analyze a groundwater contamination case study. Ninth grade students (n = 47) where given a short multiple choice quiz to assess their basic content knowledge. This was immediately followed by their analysis of a case study involving the identification of the source of arsenic contamination in groundwater. The scenario provides students with background information on possible arsenic sources, including industrial processes, pressure treated lumber, and embalming fluids. Results show that while students, randomly distributed among three subsets, scored equally well on the multiple choice quiz, their response to identification of the source area varied by the visual cue supplied. Feedback from the pilot study indicates some changes are needed before a full scale study is completed.
