Penn State decimated by the NCAA
The core principle of any organization with the power to impose sanctions must be to use that power to penalize the guilty and protect the innocent. You would think that's obvious, but the recent actions of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Penn State officials indicate otherwise.
An analogy to the current NCAA approach can be found in ancient Roman military tactics. When mutinous or cowardly soldiers were clearly present but could not be specifically identified, the general would assemble his troops in groups of 10. By drawing lots, each group would randomly pick one of its members for death by stoning.
This is the root of the word "decimation." Although the real cowards were rarely punished this way, the thought was that the entire army would learn a lesson and the cowards would change their ways. Sounds barbaric and illogical, doesn't it?
Now, let's go back, just a few years, to the USC Trojans. The 2004 team was denied the national championship it had already won due to the finding that its star running back, Reggie Bush, had received "improper benefits." Additionally, USC's record, including the final two games of the season (the last being the 2005 Rose Bowl), was "vacated," and its scholarship allotment was reduced.
This sounds reasonable until you look behind the headlines: The guilty party, Reggie Bush, had already won the Heisman Trophy and signed a multimillion-dollar contract with the New Orleans Saints; the head coach, Pete Carroll, had already signed a huge contract to coach the NFL Seattle Seahawks, all BEFORE the sanctions took place. Who was left to absorb the bite of the sanctions? The remaining innocent athletes, the innocent student body, the school itself.
The guilty were not penalized by this action, in fact they were quite well-off — but the innocent part of the USC program was decimated.
On to Penn State. This is a much more severe example of the out-of-control decimation power of the NCAA.
First, let me be clear — it's hard to imagine a penalty severe enough to balance the evil that took place. In fact, in the words of Mark Emmert, NCAA president, "No price the NCAA can levy will repair the grievous damage inflicted by Jerry Sandusky." But the guilty in this case are either in jail, on their way to jail or deceased. So the NCAA looked around for someone, anyone to punish.
The rallying cry must have been, "Let's get the innocent to show everyone how effective we are." And get them, they did: a $60 million fine, a four-year postseason ban, scholarship reductions, a vacating of all wins going back to 1998, and more.
All of this decimation falls on the innocents who remain at Penn State and those athletes who contributed to the impressive accomplishments of the football program through the years.
How do they justify this injustice? Well, they feel Penn State and its student body are just too proud of their football team. So, they reasoned, they're all guilty of allowing an environment in which this kind of crime can be overlooked.
How insulting! The implication is that the remaining athletes, the student body, the professors and staff, etc., would have condoned this despicable behavior just to win football games.
What about the recent cheating scandal at Harvard? Should there be sanctions there because that university places too much emphasis on academic performance? Are they all guilty of creating an environment that encourages cheating? That's absurd, and for the same reasons.
And what was Penn State's reaction? Less than an hour after the NCAA's verdict, Penn State officials announced that they would accept the sanctions in total. There was no pushback, no negotiations — just total capitulation. Outrageous!
All the stakeholders in Penn State's environment are left to carry the burden — and that includes Pennsylvania taxpayers. When looking at all the facts, there is one inescapable conclusion: The individuals on both sides of this "punish the innocent" policy were not up to the task. The concept of decimation should have been discarded with all other examples of medieval justice.
If these organizations cannot find a more civilized way to help ensure that disasters like Jerry Sandusky will not be repeated, the executives involved, including the Penn State board, should be replaced by people who can. The current group is not acting in the best interest of the university, the students, the community or the taxpayers.
Punishing the innocent is not moral, it's not ethical and it's not very smart.
Dan Duda is the president of DecisionTrack in Lititz.

I was going up an ascent when I went to shift from the small ring to the middle ring and the derailler failed to move the chain. Instead, even though it was a full "pull" it just "trimmmed." So i dropped the derailler back down to the small ring and then as I went to shift back up the chain got wedged between the fram and the small ring underneath the bottom bracket. I have no idea how it got there.
How does this happen? (I need to know so i can fix it and make sure it doesn't happen again) It got wedged so badly that it completely bent/twisted the chain link and scratched the heck out of my frame.

What's It Like to Work for Apple's Tim Cook?
TheStreet) -- Apple (AAPL - Get Report) CEO Tim Cook is the most powerful man in the technology industry. Yet, by many accounts, he's a regular guy. Former CEO Steve Jobs was an icon and an innovator the likes the world has not seen since Albert Einstein, Henry Ford or Thomas Edison, with his ability to dazzle the world with his gadgets, and tell a story about them. He was difficult to work for, lashing out at employees if projects weren't done well or products that were not up to his standards. Legend has it Jobs fired people in the elevator.It appears Cook is more approachable and freer with compliments than Jobs was. Here's one anonymous account from Quora, a question-and-answer site, on what it's like to work with Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "I think on the whole I prefer Tim to Steve. While both mostly make their decisions on the basis of their intuition, Tim is less caustic about it -- he's certainly never dressed me down in the same way, and I've never been in a meeting with him where he's done this to anyone else on my team." "He's also much better at acknowledging work well done, while Steve generally just assumed that good work was its own reward, Tim will take time to praise individuals that have performed over expectation." "On the minus side, he starts way earlier than Steve did in the last few years, and when you're working on something critical, he expects that you do too. That means that when he sends you an email at 5 a.m. that demands a response, if it's not returned quickly, he lets it be known that he expects more." Interested in more on Apple?

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Sunday, June 9, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A funeral escort fee that's raising eyebrows is nothing new, according to Commissioner Marion Williams.
Williams says he brought this item to the commission because someone wanted to start an escort service for funerals back in the early 2000s. He had problems with it because Sheriff Ronnie Strength was charging the fee, putting it into a bank account and had no oversight.
At the time, he says his colleagues knew about it and said that was common practice.
Williams says the commission needs to be more concerned about other things like drug money being seized, rather than an escort fee.

Millwall 2 - Derby 1 : David Forde wants Millwall to do a Reading
DAVID FORDE wants Millwall to be this season's Reading after the Lions roared into the top 10.
To go nine unbeaten is a big achievement and we want to keep the run going
Their remarkable run, though, was overshadowed by the arrest of six Millwall fans for producing a banner attacking Marvin Sordell after a 13-year-old supporter was banned for abusing the Bolton player last month.
On the pitch, Millwall are now just four points off the play-offs – leaving Forde believing they could match Reading's achievement of last term, when the Royals won 23 of their last 31 games to win the league.
"We are absolutely flying – and long may it continue," said the 32-year-old keeper.
"To go nine unbeaten is a big achievement and we want to keep the run going."
Keogh sealed the points 14 minutes from time after Will Hughes levelled, but Derby offered little threat.
Boss Nigel Clough said: "We should have had two penalties and we can't control that."

(Warnings: General insanity)
I'm scared. The only reason I'm sharing this with you is because I'm scared. I don't know if it's really a good idea to share it honestly. Something may happen to me if I do. Or worse something may happen to you.
I invited Cry over today for some gaming since he's visiting up this way right now. I...I still feel uneasy just thinking about it. I've been seeing more of them than ever before. I see that damned pale white face in the trees more and more. I don't know what to do anymore. I think somehow he got into the house today. I don't know how but I swear he did.
I had been sitting at my computer with my back to the room. I don't remember exactly what I was looking at but most of the screen was black. I had my headphones on so I couldn't really hear anything either. Well I was fine until something moved out of the corner of my eye. It was a reflection on the screen. I wish I hadn't noticed it. I'm so afraid they will figure out that I know they are there.
My heart jumped but I didn't dare move. I didn't want to even breathe. I was staring at the reflection of a pale white face. I could feel myself start to tremble as I sat there. No. Stop shaking! I couldn't will myself to stop as my eyes stayed locked onto it. I guess whatever it was found this amusing. I watched as a wide grin spread over that things face.
That damned grin. I wish I could forget it. Forget the way it made my skin crawl as I sat there frozen. Teeth easily showed as its gaze stayed pinned to me. I could almost imagine that smile turning into something malevolent. My chest felt heavy and the sound of my racing heart rang in my ears. I couldn't find it in myself to move. My breath trembled even though I tried to hide it.
This couldn't be happening. This couldn't be real. It had to be a dream. I only wished it had been though. I was awake. I knew I was. My eyes started to tear as I sat there watching it. I could feel my trembling getting a little worse. Was I going to die like this? In those games...the person almost always died. I felt a slight surge of panic as my vision blurred from the unshed tears. It knew I knew. I closed my eyes tightly in an attempt to block out the thoughts of a painful death. My body stiff from waiting for something to happen. I couldn't do this anymore!
I spun around finally, my eyes wide as the few stray tears fell. If I was going to die I would do it staring that thing down. My breath hitching as my eyes cleared of the hazy blur. I felt a flush cover my cheeks though as I started to breathe again.
Cry was standing there just staring at me like I was out of my mind. I was really freaked out but I tried to play it off.
"Oh man, don't scare me like that. I...I was playing a new horror game. I guess it got the better of me." I tried to hold my voice steady. Thankfully Cry smiled at me. He chuckled after that.
"Sorry, man. Well, let's play then." He sat down next to me in the chair I had pulled up. When he sat down though...I swear he was wearing the same smile I had seen before. I knew that wasn't possible though. Cry's face could never be that pale white. He wasn't the type to wear masks.

**Don't forget to comment, fav, sub, and request story ideas. It really helps me write better things for you guys. If you make a vid for this I would love to see it so send me a link!**
Awesome story by the way I love you'r stories but you make it harder to sleep at night!
Lol. Thank you so much! I'm glad in a not creepy way. I love horror so writing this stuff is probably far too easy for me. I absolutely love this stuff.
Hey I want you to help me on something about horror stories. Does it makes it more terrifying adding yourself into the story?? I really need help with that because I have some ideas but I don't know if to put myself in the story or a character. Can you give me an advice?
No prob. I don't mind answering any questions you have. So when it comes to horror writing there are a good many ways to keep it creepy. When it comes to the first person vs third it's up for debate. What I find most successful is what style works best for you. First person is good when it comes to making someone feel they are involved in it. However, third person can draw someone in just as easily. Try it both ways and see what works with you best. If you like I am more than happy to read it over for you?
MAD Cry i-I-is t-t-that y-y-you? *Holds CRY doll* crys
I'm glad you liked it! It's strange to say but it's awesome when your stories scare people. I have been itching to write new stories for both Cry and Pewds. Strictly from the horror aspect that is. They make it so much fun.
I'm shaking right now
Then I have done my job correctly. Lol. Its all good. Just stories. I'm glad you liked it though!
Reads "He wasn't the type to wear masks". Oh my gosh!!!
Lol. I was hoping that part had a little impact. The companion piece to this one will be finished soon. It will make that last few sentences even worse. Lol.
Oh gosh. Well I'll be glad to read it..
Great story! I love horror ~
Thank you so much! I'm very glad you liked it. I'm the same. Horror is a lot of fun to write.
Lol. I couldn't help making this into a series of stories. I'm hoping to get more of my horror writing done. I only hope people will like it.
I am sure every one will like it, I mean who don't love a good horror story (weird people thats who haha ) amd series are the best kind because it leaves the reader thinking what might happen next
Lol. Indeed. I'm really excited that you like it. I'm still very new to horror writing but I can't get enough of it. *shot* I know, I'm a broken record. Lol.
Wow its pretty scary if that happens every day.

Irvine, CA
Comedy Central Certified
Gilbert Gottfried
At the young age of 15, Gilbert Gottfried began doing stand-up at open mike nights in New York City and, after a few short years, became known around town as "the comedian's comedian." After spending several years mastering the art of stand-up comedy, producers of the legendary NBC late night comedy show Saturday Night Live became aware of Gottfried and, in 1980, hired him as a cast member. It wasn't until a few years later when his true notoriety would begin when MTV hired him for a series of improvised and hilarious promos for the newly formed channel. This led to several television appearances on "The Cosby Show" and "Late Night with David Letterman."
Gottfried's work in television soon led to roles in film. Most notable was his improvised scene as business manager Sidney Bernstein in the hit sequel "Beverly Hills Cop II," for which the New York Daily News said that, "Gilbert Gottfried steals the picture with a single scene." Aside from his glowing reputation in comedy clubs, Gottfried began to gain a reputation as the king of quirky roles in both movies and television. He appeared in such movies as "Problem Child," "Problem Child II," "Look Who's Talking II" and "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane." He was also the host of the very popular late night movie series "USA Up All Night."
After his stellar performance as the wise cracking parrot, IAGO, in the Disney classic "Aladdin," Gottfried became one of the most recognizable voiceover talents. His signature voice can be heard in several commercials, cartoons and movies. Gottfried also is the voice of DIGIT in the long running PBS Series "Cyberchase."
Gottfried has been a regular on the new "Hollywood Squares" and is a frequent guest on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "The Howard Stern Show." Gottfried appeared in the hit comedy documentary "The Aristocrats," with Entertainment Weekly saying that, "out of the 101 comedians who appear on screen, no one is funnier - or more disgusting - than Gilbert Gottfried."
Part memoir, part twisted social commentary, part scratches on the bathroom wall, "Rubber Balls and Liquor," Gottfried's hilarious first-ever book, was recently released. Also on both DVD and CD is "Gilbert Gottfried Dirty Jokes" featuring 50 non-stop minutes of Gottfried telling the funniest and filthiest jokes ever. The show was filmed live at the Gotham Comedy Club in New York City. Also featured on the DVD is some of the funniest bonus features ever, including wild stories, indignant ranting and celebrity impressions that will leave viewers crying for more. For this live performance, Gottfried puts aside political correctness and fires an onslaught of jokes that know no boundaries. At the end of the show, Gottfried tells what is known among comedians as the "Dirtiest Joke of All Time," which is also the basis for "The Aristocrats."
Gottfried is one of the most sought-after comedians, and regularly performs live to sold-out audiences across North America.

I just bought the 100 2.8 ais from Adorama. It was Ex+ condition and looks factory new. Glass is flawless. Takes a little while to get used to manual focus, and I'm a little slow, but images look great. Sorry for the cat example, but I'm posting it anyway.

Another study is looking at the levels of arsenic in apple juice, and the researchers say parents should be concerned.
Consumer Reports released a study Wednesday saying children can be at unnecessary risk due to arsenic and lead in fruit juices.
Consumer Reports tested 88 samples of apple juice and grape juice. They found that 10 percent of the samples had total arsenic levels that exceeded federal drinking-water standards. When it comes to lead, 25 percent of the samples had lead levels higher than the Food and Drug Administration's bottled-water limit.
Consumer Reports says most of the arsenic found in their tests was inorganic arsenic, which is a known human carcinogen.
A press release from Consumer Reports says the government needs to do more. "Consumers Union, the advocacy arm of Consumer Reports, believes that the federal government should establish a standard of 3 ppb for total arsenic and 5 ppb for lead in juice. In fact, 41 percent of the samples Consumer Reports tested met both thresholds."

The NHL's top 10 Stanley Cup contenders
You know it. I know it. Logan Couture(notes) can feel it, even though he has played for the San Jose Sharks less than two seasons.
"I think there might be a little bit of extra pressure on us," Couture said. "People in the off-season pick us to win the Cup – I don't know how many years it's been – and we've disappointed obviously not getting there."
Well, here we go again. The 2011-12 NHL season is about to begin, and this time I'm that guy. I'm holding my breath and … picking … the … Sharks. I can't help it. They're No. 1 on my list of the top 10 Stanley Cup contenders because I think they're finally ready, even though coach Todd McLellan seems to be holding his breath, too.
"I think right now we all have to be excited about the season but a little bit cautious as well," McLellan said. "Everything on paper looks fine, but we know that doesn't win championships."
We all should underachieve like the Sharks. They are one of only two teams to make the playoffs each season since the 2004-05 lockout, along with the Detroit Red Wings. They are the only team that has advanced to the conference final in each of the past two years.
They have been tweaking and learning and developing all the while, and they might have found the formula via two trades with the Minnesota Wild – essentially swapping Dany Heatley(notes) and Devin Setoguchi(notes) for Brent Burns(notes) and Martin Havlat(notes).
Burns brings skill and size to the back end, taking some pressure off puck-mover Dan Boyle(notes). Havlat not only balances the loss of Setoguchi's speed, but he has scored 12 goals in his last 26 playoff games while Heatley scored only five in 32 for the Sharks. Maybe Havlat's skating ability allows him to pick up his game better when the pace picks up in the playoffs.
The Sharks, who weren't strong enough around their net in the playoffs, added more grit and depth on defense in Colin White(notes) and Jim Vandermeer(notes). After finishing 24th in penalty killing last season, they signed third-line center Michal Handzus(notes). If they need further tweaking – the fourth line is a question mark – general manager Doug Wilson has enough room under the salary cap to make more moves.
All this, even though deep down the Sharks felt they should have beaten the Vancouver Canucks – maybe especially because they felt they should have beaten the Vancouver Canucks. "I believe last year if we played our best and they played their best, we would have been better than them," Couture said. "But they outplayed us in the conference final." Everything on paper looks fine, but we know that doesn't win championships.
The Sharks thought long and hard about why they didn't play their best against the Canucks. In short, they seemed tired. They can trace that back to their second-round showdown with the Red Wings, in which they blew a 3-0 series lead and had to battle through Game 7. But they can trace it back farther to the first half of the season.
Coming off a 2010 conference final loss, the Sharks were flat early in the 2010-11 regular season. They often were "willing to work at about at 95 percent rate," according to McLellan, and floundered as low as 12th in the West. Then they revved up, went on a 27-6-4 streak and finished second in the conference, but it took too much out of them. "There's no way to quantify that, but it's something we believe," McLellan said.
The challenge this time is to break in the new guys while making sure the old guys are "ready to play and engaged," McLellan said. Joe Thornton(notes) and Patrick Marleau(notes) have to be a force. Couture and Joe Pavelski(notes) have to take another step. They have to do it from the start, especially in the competitive Pacific Division, so they can be there at the end.
"It is something that's staring us right in the face, and I'd like to think that we've learned from it," McLellan said. "It's great that you get to the final four a couple years in a row, but to do that three times in a row is a goal of ours – and obviously to go further – and we've got a lot of work to do prior to that. We can't look at the end and wait for it to come. We've got to work our way there, and we'll take that approach this year."
The next nine:
2. Pittsburgh Penguins: The Pens feel they would have beaten the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round last season if only Matt Cooke(notes) had not been suspended, and they might be right. "Those guys, they were coming at us," Lightning winger Steven Stamkos(notes) said. "Their so-called role players were playing unbelievable." Imagine if they had Evgeni Malkin(notes) and Sidney Crosby(notes), too. They could soon. Malkin is healthy and motivated, and Crosby is close to returning from a concussion. Crosby is the big question mark. When will he come back, and how well? If those two superstars even approach their old form – and their teammates can continue to play as well as they learned to play without them – the Penguins will be a power again. Remember that James Neal(notes), acquired last season, hasn't even gotten rolling yet.
3. Boston Bruins: The best argument against the Bruins is actually that they won the Cup last season. "We don't really want to use the word 'repeat' because we know how hard it is," coach Claude Julien said. These aren't the 2010-11 Chicago Blackhawks, who lost half their team to a salary-cap purge after winning it all. The Bruins return with most of their team intact and might have upgraded in a couple of areas, with Joe Corvo's(notes) shot replacing Tomas Kaberle's(notes) passing on the power play and talented teenager Tyler Seguin(notes) entering his second season. The issue here is the typical season-after effect. "We have got to take what's important from last year and carry it over to this year, but you don't sit back and say, 'Yeah, we're champions, and everything should fall into place,' " Julien said. "We understand the challenge of it."
4. Vancouver Canucks: The hangover could be even worse for the Canucks, who had the best season in franchise history – winning the Presidents' Trophy by 10 points and dominating the league statistically – only to lose the Cup final in Game 7 on home ice and watch a riot break out in the streets. "I don't think something like that you'll ever get over," center Ryan Kesler(notes) said. "But it's definitely motivating now." Mental toughness was a main theme last season – staying in the moment, staying composed – and it will be even more important this season, especially for boom-or-bust goaltender Roberto Luongo(notes). They have the roster to win the Cup, despite the losses of defenseman Christian Ehrhoff(notes) and ruffian Raffi Torres(notes), but can't afford to think about their ultimate goal. "Don't look at the big picture, because it gets overwhelming if you start doing that," Kesler said. "Just take it one goal at a time and focus on that, and we'll be fine."
5. Washington Capitals: The Caps' story resembles the Sharks' – poor first half, strong second half, high finish – only they flamed out even more spectacularly in the second round and made even more dramatic changes. Among the departures: Jason Arnott(notes), Scott Hannan(notes), Marco Sturm(notes) and Semyon Varlamov(notes). Among the arrivals: Troy Brouwer(notes), Jeff Halpern(notes), Roman Hamrlik(notes), Joel Ward(notes) and Tomas Vokoun(notes). "Right now it's a different team and different guys, so it's good," captain Alex Ovechkin(notes) said. We'll see. Ovechkin and his fellow offensive stars must bounce back from a down year without opening up the team's style too much again. Can the Caps find the right balance for the playoffs? How will these guys mesh?
6. Chicago Blackhawks: With the core of the 2010 Cup team locked up for years, the ongoing question for the 'Hawks is finding the right supporting cast. This year's version includes Andrew Brunette(notes), Dan Carcillo(notes), Jamal Mayers(notes), Steve Montador(notes) and Sean O'Donnell(notes) – some scoring, more grit, a lot of experience. How they complement Jonathan Toews(notes), Patrick Kane(notes) and Co. remains to be seen, but the hunger should be there again. "It's tough sledding after you win," said defenseman Brian Campbell(notes), who accepted a trade to the Florida Panthers. "Coming back, you're not as strong. You're not as sharp initially. … It's a tough Western Conference. They're going to be right up there."
7. Los Angeles Kings: Now that Drew Doughty(notes) has landed his big contract, it's time for it all to pay off. Doughty must play like a $7-million defenseman, Jack Johnson(notes) must play up to his potential on the blue line and Dustin Penner(notes) must be better up front, because the Kings have the ability to break out this season. Simon Gagne(notes) and Mike Richards(notes) were big off-season additions – especially Richards, an all-around pain to play against who supports No. 1 center Anze Kopitar(notes) and bumps Jarret Stoll(notes) to his proper spot at No. 3. "It's just a matter of gelling, and we haven't had a problem with that sort of thing," captain Dustin Brown(notes) said. "This is definitely the best team we've had [entering the season] since I've been in L.A."
8. Philadelphia Flyers: They traded Richards and Jeff Carter(notes) because they wanted to go in a different direction. But what direction will that be this season? How will they replace the 59 goals and 132 points Richards and Carter produced last season? Will Jaromir Jagr(notes), who turns 40 in February, look as good in the postseason as he did in the preseason after going through the 82-game grind for the first time since 2007-08? Is Ilya Bryzgalov(notes), who struggled so badly in the playoffs for the Phoenix Coyotes, really the long-term answer in goal? This team has too many pieces to count out but too many questions to count on. "Now we're going a different direction," center Claude Giroux(notes) said, "and we just need to make sure everyone's on the same page and start winning some games."
9. Tampa Bay Lightning: Hate to say it, but they caught Lightning in a bottle last season. Rookie general manager Steve Yzerman and rookie coach Guy Boucher could do no wrong, and the Bolts went to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final. They still have a strong core, but they lost Gagne, playoff hero Sean Bergenheim(notes) and the element of surprise. Goaltender Dwayne Roloson(notes) turns 42 on Oct. 12. "I think teams will prepare a little more to play us – not that they didn't last year, but as the year went on, they were taking us a little more seriously compared to the couple previous years," veteran Martin St. Louis(notes) said. "We have to be ready for a bigger fight this year."
10. Detroit Red Wings: Owner Mike Ilitch summed it up in an interview with the Detroit News: "The best way to analyze the Red Wings is, they're good, but I don't know how good." This is still a playoff team at worst and a Cup contender at best with Nicklas Lidstrom(notes), Pavel Datsyuk(notes) and Henrik Zetterberg(notes). But the Central Division is tougher than it used to be, and how long can Lidstrom, 41, continue to play at a Norris Trophy level? Losing partner Brian Rafalski(notes) to retirement was a bigger blow than many realize. The Wings could not replace him, settling for free agents Ian White(notes) and Mike Commodore(notes). Todd Bertuzzi(notes) and Tomas Holmstrom(notes) are declining. The Wings need big seasons from Valterri Filppula, Johan Franzen(notes), Jimmy Howard(notes) and Jiri Hudler(notes), and they might need GM Ken Holland to do something he hasn't done in a while – make a big trade.

East Lyme — Residents could drive golf carts within most beach communities in town if the Board of Selectmen approves an ordinance under consideration.
The proposed ordinance would permit golf-cart driving on roads within the Black Point, Saunders Point, Giants Neck, Pine Grove, Old Black Point, Crescent Beach and Oak Grove communities. Attawan and Giants Neck Heights are not included for safety reasons that range from lack of parking at Attawan to hilly roads, First Selectman Paul Formica said.
The selectmen are revisiting the idea of golf-cart use four years after the board denied a similar proposal to allow golf carts at all beach communities. After much discussion, the board ruled in 2010 against the proposal due to liability concerns, according to newspaper reports at the time.
At various Board of Selectmen meetings since February, a group of Black Point Beach Club Association residents have been asking the selectmen to consider allowing golf carts at their association. They said golf carts, already in use in nearby Old Saybrook, would help residents, particularly senior citizens and disabled individuals, navigate their community.
A 2009 state law allows licensed Connecticut drivers to operate golf carts on roads with maximum speed limits of 25 mph, as long as the municipality adopts a resolution specifying the roads on which golf carts are allowed. The state law also stipulates that the golf carts need a horn and visible flag and can only be operated during daylight hours, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles' website. The DMV does not register the carts, so jurisdiction falls on the town.
Sally Cini of Black Point, who proposed the idea with resident Robert Shea, said in a phone interview this week that golf carts would allow senior citizens or disabled residents to continue to lead an active lifestyle. Some residents live as far as a mile away from the beach, and golf carts could provide an easy way for them to get there and navigate the area. Golf carts are smaller than cars and SUVs so they would also alleviate parking issues by taking up less space, she said.
Small vehicles, whether golf carts or electric cars, are the way of the future, she said: "It's just a more efficient way."
Cini offered counter-arguments to common objections, including liability. She said the town already assumes liability for other resources, such as public playgrounds. In addition, all golf carts need to be insured and are registered vehicles that wouldn't require additional town enforcement.
"In 2014, there are golf carts everywhere," she told the board.
Tom Kelly, chairman of the Black Point association's board of governors, said in a phone interview that Cini and Shea received a positive response when they presented their idea to that board and at its annual meeting. The board of governors indicated support during an informal vote by email, he said.
"The board was unanimous that it has no objection to the use of golf carts within Black Point Beach Club," he said. Kelly added that golf-cart usage would benefit the community, which has about 620 homes and whose roads have a speed limit of 20 mph.
But another Black Point resident said driving golf carts in the area would not be safe. Barbara Johnston said she had originally been a proponent of the use of golf carts on roads but has since changed her mind.
"I now realize how dangerous it is," she said. Johnston said she is concerned about safety, particularly since the beach community has hills. The golf carts would also take up already limited parking, she said.
Johnston also questioned how the town would enforce regulations, since state law allows only Connecticut-licensed drivers to operate golf carts but many residents who live in the beach community may have out-of-state licenses. The association's board of governors should have held a special meeting on the golf-carts issue so residents could voice their concerns, she said.
A public hearing on the proposed ordinance will be held before the special Board of Selectmen meeting on April 23 at a time to be determined.

Aon revamps sports sponsorship
21 April 2014
CHICAGO: Aon, a company specialising in managing risk and talent, has developed its sponsorship tie-up with Manchester United Football Club from focusing on awareness to driving "understanding and preference".
The firm's logo has featured on Manchester United's famous red shirts since 2010, but will be replaced by that of Chevrolet later this year.
Patrick Pierce, Aon's director/global marketing and communications, told delegates at IEG's 2014 Sponsorship Conference that its website traffic jumped by 66% upon announcing its original tie-up with the football team.
"What we found, it was amazing … the performance of the club: it really drives traffic to our site," said Pierce. (For more, including how Aon is seeking to drive sales among other club sponsor, read Warc's exclusive report: Looking beyond the logo:
Aon redefines its sponsorship of Manchester United
More importantly, awareness among business decision-makers – Aon's core target audience –also rose to over 50%.
However, Pierce suggested that this total was starting to reach a peak, meaning that a shift in emphasis promised to provide a stronger return on investment.
"We're not going to generate incremental awareness over the next seven years if they win a treble and all that stuff. We're probably going to still be in the mid-50s no matter what," said Pierce.
Drilling down into its data offered a guide as to how Aon's strategy could be evolved to beneficial effect, as the business leaders aware of its relationship with Manchester United tended to give it higher favourability scores.
"This is the halo effect," said Pierce. "This was kind of our big 'Aha' – awareness is great, but when they know about what we're doing, and they experience it, they become a lot more favourable."
As a result, Aon and Manchester United formulated "a solution, not just a sponsorship" as they revamped their affiliation.
While Aon's logo is no longer featured on Manchester United's kit, the firm's sponsorship of the club's training complex and other assets has been translated into opportunities to generate both content and revenue.

It seems like such a nice, tidy way to explain the rebirth of Yellowstone National Park — that after wolves were reintroduced in the mid-1990s, they changed the ecology of the park, including the way rivers flow.
But nature is never tidy, as Colorado State University scientists explain in a recently published paper that debunks the popular notion that wolves were solely responsible for park changes.
I was certainly duped.
A few weeks ago, I wrote a column about a popular video featuring a stirring TED talk by British writer George Monbiot, who explained how the reintroduction of wolves changed Yellowstone's ecology.
A natural predator to elk, wolves came back and reduced the number of elk that were destroying the park's willows and aspen, Monbiot says. As trees grew back, songbirds and beavers returned, he says.
"The dams (beavers) built provided habitats for muskrats, otters, ducks and fish and reptiles and amphibians," Monbiot says in the video, which now has more than 3.7 million views.
Monbiot's talk was focused on the concept called "trophic cascade" — when predator species suppress their prey, thus alleviating pressure on that animal's food source.
Monbiot points to river banks growing sturdier with vegetation and rivers becoming less meandering, creating pools that attracted more wildlife. "The wolves changed the behavior of the rivers," Monbiot says.
Well, not so much, say researchers at Colorado State University.
"It has been popular and convenient to tell the romantic tale that wolves have restored Yellowstone, but our findings prove it is not so simple," said CSU professor Thompson Hobbs, who co-authored the paper.
Researchers looked at 30 years of riparian willow growth and also the annual precipitation, stream flow, growing season length, soil moisture and abundance of elk.
Their central finding was the relationship between elk populations and willow growth cannot solely be attributed to the reintroduction of wolves but also is dependent on geography, climate and water supply for the willows.
"No single force explains the patterns of plant establishment and growth in Yellowstone over the past three decades," Hobbs said in a press release.
A 2013 CSU paper found beaver dams' impact on water levels were as responsible for the health of vegetation as elk. In other words: science, not romance.
I contacted Chris Agnos, who produced the video of Monbiot's talk for his website, Sustainable Man. Agnos said the video was never meant to suggest other factors weren't at play.
"You can't attribute any one effect in nature to any one cause in nature," he said. "Everything is connected to everything and it all matters. That was the moral of the story.
"Perhaps some of the other causes of Yellowstone revival were omitted from the video, but if we were to identify every micro cause of Yellowstone, we would literally have to analyze every single action that every being has taken on the planet, since every action affects everything else, even if ever so slightly," Agnos added.
"This does not take away from the impact the wolves have had; it only more accurately reflects the knowledge that there is no separation and that everything we do affects the entire world."

|Article Title:
|Molecular basis of β-amyloid oligomer recognition with a conformational antibody fragment.
|Reference Detail
|Reference ID:
|Oligomers are intermediates of the -amyloid (A) peptide fibrillogenic pathway and are putative pathogenic culprits in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we report the biotechnological generation and biochemical characterization of an oligomer-specific antibody fragment, KW1. KW1 not only discriminates between oligomers and other A conformations, such as fibrils or disaggregated peptide; it also differentiates between different types of A oligomers, such as those formed by A (1-40) and A (1-42) peptide. This high selectivity of binding contrasts sharply with many other conformational antibodies that interact with a large number of structurally analogous but sequentially different antigens. X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and peptide array measurements imply that KW1 recognizes oligomers through a hydrophobic and significantly aromatic surface motif that includes A residues 18-20. KW1-positive oligomers occur in human AD brain samples and induce synaptic dysfunctions in living brain tissues. Bivalent KW1 potently neutralizes this effect and interferes with A assembly. By altering a specific step of the fibrillogenic cascade, it prevents the formation of mature A fibrils and induces the accumulation of nonfibrillar aggregates. Our data illuminate significant mechanistic differences in oligomeric and fibril recognition and suggest the considerable potential of KW1 in future studies to detect or inhibit specific types of A conformers.
