College Students Explore Career Options in Science
Published April 19th, 2014

GAINESVILLE- College students around the state came to the University of Florida to explore career options in the science field. Thanks to iDigBio and the National Science Foundation, students had the chance to see a side of the Florida Museum of Natural History that most people don't get to see. UF teamed up with Florida State to offer a workshop that takes undergraduates behind the scenes of scientific museum collections. The workshop seeks to broaden the diversity of students who follow biology as a career.
"Many people don't understand that much of what happens in a museum happens in labs these kinds of labs. cause most of us visit museums we go to the front of the house but we often don't realize the science thats going on in the collections behind the scenes," stated Gil Nelson a Digitization Specialist with iDigBio. iDigBio is a national science foundation project that focuses on digitizing data and images of scientific specimens for worldwide research and education.

My comments have to do with the Hudson County Voices of Feb. 3.
First, the last letter seems to make an error with the Peninsula Cities. The only Peninsula City I know of is Bayonne. Not Jersey City and Hoboken. Those are Hudson County.
As far as the letter regarding a higher toll for the improved Bayonne Bridge, I guess he should take the rail and hope that it's built for Staten Island.
I thought that the defense of Stack in Union City was an extreme letter.

Bridal Boot Camp Nutrition Tips
Get nutrition tips to help you start and stay on a diet plan to shape up for your wedding.
-Hi! I'm Nadeen Boman, nutrition coach from Bulging Brides. Welcome to FITNESS magazine's Bridal Boot Camp. I'm gonna give you some nutrition tips on how to get fit for your wedding. You're getting married. You're starting a nutrition plan. How do you get rid of all the junk out of your fridge and cupboards? Here's what you do. Take all of your junk food. Everything that you know is bad for you---- chips, cake, candy, chocolate, deep-fried foods. Get it all onto your counter. Keep only 20%---- your very favorite---- and trash the other 80. That's the 80/20 rule. You're keeping 20% and use it in moderation. The rest of it has to go. Skipping breakfast is a recipe for disaster. You're gonna be starving later which means you're likely to overeat. Start your day off with a smoothie. It's easy and quick, and it'll give you the nutrients you need to have energy throughout the day. All you need is some berries, protein powder, and soy milk, and you're ready to go. When you're trying to lose weight for your wedding, you need the support of your friends and family. If you tell them what you need in terms of, you know, I wanna try to eat healthy, I wanna exercise---- at least they know and they can try and make the right decisions. Maybe they'll invite you for a walk instead of out for some beers. When you fall off the wagon, don't beat yourself up because, you know what, one mistake isn't gonna stop you from getting into that dress. Just get back on and keep going. How do you stick to your diet at the pre-wedding cocktail party? Go for the one-plate rule. You're only gonna fill your plate up once and it's gonna be with healthy foods. No puff pastries. No deep-fried food. No pizzas. Stick to vegetables, lean meats, and one ounce of skim cheese. Don't go back for seconds. When your guests bring cakes and pastries to pre-wedding events like showers, let them take the leftovers home. You don't want a leftover cake in your fridge. You don't need the temptation staring you in the face.

K.T. Alfriend, H. Yan (Texas A&M U.)
Swarms of small satellites flying in formation is a concept currently being pursued by NASA and the USAF. Most of the studies for identifying potential relative motion orbits for these formations have assumed that the equations of motion in the rotating reference frame centered at the chief or reference satellite can be linearized. The basis for the linearization is the ratio of the satellite separation distance to the orbit radius. There are some formations being for which the separations are too large for the linearization to be valid. In this paper we present a new approach for large formations and introduce a modeling error index for comparing various relative motion theories.

Artists: Aric Taylor
Art Junkies Tattoo
14757 Bear Valley Road
Suite Five
Hesperia, CA 92345
What year did you start tattooing?
Since about 1996.
How did you get into tattooing?
My parents, mostly. They had some tattoos and I would go to the tattoo shop with my mom and was just so stoked and excited to be there that from that day on I knew that I wanted to be a tattooist. I have a lot of respect for my parents—if it was not for them encouraging and giving me the freedom to do what I wanted to do, I would not be where I am today, even though the rest of myfamily and other people frowned upon it.
Where did you apprentice?
I did not have a really good apprenticeship. I started taking it at a shop in Ridgecrest, CA, at a shop called Permanent Illusions, and they taught the basics—you know, mopping floors and scrubbing tubes, how to use an autoclave. Also a lot of drawing flash and how to make stencils. But eventually the shop closed the doors and moved to a different city. At that time that was the only shop in town, not like now how there is one everywhere. I eventually hooked up with this guy Quannah Driver, who was tattooing out of his house and
already making great tattoos. He taught me how to make needles and tune machines—he really taught me so much, and I have very much respect for him.
Do you have any special training?
No, not really. I took some art classes in college but most of my knowledge is from my peers and friends. I try to learn from as many people as possible. The shop I am at now, Art Junkies, has really pushed me to try my hardest every day, and I get to watch all my friends do badass tattoos all day long. It's really great!
What conventions have you worked at? Have you won any awards?
I have worked a bunch of shows all over the world and want to keep doing that. It really keeps me inspired by
watching all these badass tattooers out there. I really like the Hell City show and the Evian show in France. As far as awards, I have some but it's not too important to me, and I just never really enter a lot of tattoos in them. As long as my customer is happy, that's all that matters. How do you describe your style? I am really versatile, so I like doing all kinds of tattoos. I really like doing portraits and realism, and putting my own twist on things.
What inspires you as an artist?
Staying around positive people who are just as motivated as I am. I like the fact that I can go into work and we can all sit down together and talk about what tattoos we are doing and give each other ideas on how we can make them better. I am very fortunate to be able to work around such awesome artists.
What other media do you work in?
I paint mostly in oils; sometimes I do little watercolor paintings, and also marker sketches and pastels I like very much.
What tattoo artists do you admire most?
Probably all the guys I work with—they are just such hard workers, and it shows in the tattoos that they produce. There are also many others outside of our shop, but that list could go on
What kind of tattoos do you look forward to doing?
I like doing bigger tattoos and would like to do more. I also have done some collaboration tattoos with some of the guys, and that was really cool. Right now I will just keep on trucking and do tattoos for the pleasure of my customers' request.
Is there anyone that you would like to tattoo?
I would like to tattoo everyone who wants to get tattooed by me—does not matter. That's my favorite part of tattooing, that I meet so many cool people and kind of build a friendship between us.
Before someone gets a tattoo what advice do you give them?
Wear deodorant, 'cause that's the worst, when you have to tattoo on someone for five to eight hours and they
reek of B.O.
Is there a tattoo that you haven't done yet that you are dying to do?
I actually used to have a set of flash that just had off-the-wall stuff on it—like, we drew a vagina spider and all kinds of weird shit, but no one would ever go for it. I would really like to do some full back piece portrait work, and I have started some, but I am just waiting to finish them. It's frustrating.

Fort LeBoeuf wrestling dual rescheduled for today
Monday's PIAA Class AA wrestling dual between Jefferson-Morgan and Fort LeBoeuf was postponed until today at 6 p.m. at Waterford.
Jefferson-Morgan was unable to make the trip after school officials canceled Monday's classes because of heavy overnight snowfall in Greene County. It was one of six such state duals called off until today because of the weather.
Whoever wins between LeBoeuf (10-4) and Jefferson-Morgan (15-3) will leave the next day for the Giant Center in Hershey. That's where the rest of the PIAA Class AA meet is scheduled to take place.
The Bison qualified for today's dual as District 10's second seed. The Rockets advanced as the third seed from District 7.
- Redbank Valley 37, Greenville 28: At New Bethlehem, the Bulldogs advanced to the main portion of the PIAA Class AA meet by rallying past the Trojans.
The teams' state dual was one of only two that weren't postponed because of Monday's bad weather across most of the state.
Greenville, District 10's third seed, bowed out despite an overall record of 20-5. Redbank Valley, the second seed from District 9, will face District 3 titlist Boiling Springs in Thursday's PIAA Class AA first round.

When Maui County Water Director David Taylor cautioned the County Council against using water as a tool for controlling growth, he might not have made clear why it's counterproductive to county policy ("Taylor: Future service is based on how much council wants to spend," The Maui News, Aug. 17, 2011).
But Maui County policymakers have let county inaction contradict policy for more than 30 years - ever since the 1978 County Charter first turned over responsibility for water department operations to the mayor and council.
Water is an essential service that requires policymakers to meet needs of current and future users. Beyond normal cost increases for operations and maintenance, Maui County's water department must comply with evolving mandates of the Safe Drinking Water Act while expanding sources, storage and distribution systems to accommodate increased demand from population growth.
When Maui County was undergoing a development boom in the 1970s, water rates and fees established by a semi-autonomous Board of Water Supply were a source of political angst for council members, whose supporters protested water costs. The council members proposed the charter amendment that turned the Department of Water Supply into a county department whose budget, rates and fees must be approved by the council before taking effect.
Approval of the revision in 1978 illustrates the cautionary adage: Be careful what you wish for; you might get it.
Having gained control over the water department's finances, county councils through the years have stalled water projects to avoid the need to increase rates and fees. Inadequate funding means aging waterlines weren't upgraded, and there was minimal development of new sources and storage.
A semi-autonomous Board of Water Supply can falter in managing a water system as well. Oahu's Department of Water Supply is acknowledging that it failed to maintain its waterlines, and now an epidemic of waterline failures is requiring urgent projects that will force higher rate increases.
Maui County has not yet suffered the level of waterline breaks occurring on Oahu, where systems through urban Honolulu are older than most systems on Maui. But Maui does not have the quality water sources that Oahu has. Developing new sources here will entail higher costs.
Under the 1968 charter, the Maui water board planned water infrastructure based on land use plans and zoning approved by the council. It set rates to cover costs of providing water to existing consumers and a depreciation schedule to plan for replacing older systems. It established fees for source development and storage paid by developments that would require additional water. As an appointed board, it was insulated from public protests over costs charged to the users.
As elected officials, County Council members are subject to pressure from voters and developers objecting to higher costs. Council members in 1976 who wanted more control over the water department didn't recognize that a semi-autonomous water board also insulated them from responsibility for raising rates and fees.
The 1978 council members got the responsibility they wanted. The 2011 members must take responsibility to raise revenues to maintain aging waterlines and develop sources.
Delay is an option. But it only puts vulnerable water users at risk when waterlines fail and water sources run short. The water users most at risk are Maui County's farmers, despite county policies that purport to protect agriculture.
When water systems run short, the county will order consumers to cut back water use. For households, water use cuts are an inconvenience. Adequate water for health and sanitation is always a priority. Adequate water for farming is not. For farmers, water use cutbacks can be the difference between survival and failure.

Classic horror that should be seen by all genre fans. The scare factor doesn't hold up, obviously, but Schreck still makes a compelling and creepy villain. It's a well done film, regardless of age. One of the most memorable silent films ever made, for good reason.
Matthew Brady 12/07/2013 (0 of 0 found this helpful)
Rating of 4/4
The soundtrack was frighting and the main vampire Count Orlok or people call him Nosferatu is one scary and creepy Bad-ass vampire. the movie is in black and white and that makes the movie more scary because if Count Orlok was in color he will look like Gargamel or count chocula, so if they did a remake of this movie in the future they should make it in to black and white. the nick picks that I have on the movie is the movie is a silent movie and you have to read it and don't get me wrong I like silent movies but if your a fast reader then you are going to think that this movie is slow because the words are they for 1 minute.so that is my review of this movie and I really loved it more then the remake in the 70's.
Chris Kavan 07/02/2012 (0 of 0 found this helpful)
I don't think I had the best print (or soundtrack) available for viewing, so an updated version (ala Metropolis) would probably help things along. That being said, Nosferatu has an incredible atmosphere and Max Schreck is simply creepy as they get at Count Orlock. If you like classic horror, make time for this.
Daniel Corleone 11/19/2011 (0 of 0 found this helpful)
"You can't escape destiny by running away." The creepy score, realistic make-up, and set location was creatively executed to bring the horror. Harker leaves Nina to be at Count Dracula's castle. He reads a book "In 1443 the first Nosferatu was born" Notes about vampires are displayed. Nina gets sick with a disease. Only a woman with a pure heart can cure the disease. Only qualm I had was the snail paced movements in certain scenes. Nosferatu the Vampire is an influential horror film, the simple yet elegant direction and performances made it horrific.

An important move from a historic perspective.....
I remember watching this movie in a movie club I used to be a member of where they showed weird and rare movies, this was before the days of internet. The idea behind the movie is a good and the story is good, that's why I don't give it half a star. But guys, wake up. This is a movie from 1924. To calling this a masterpiece and a good movie is like saying a toddlers painting is better than a Nordrum painting and support the argument with they are equally good because they could not do any better at the time it was made. It's an interesting watch based on a movie history perspective, but this is really horrible, and not in a good way.

The Birth of Horror
Nosferatu is undoubtedly one of the most influential horror films of all time. F.W. Murnau puts together an extremely creepy atmosphere in the film through some excellent cinematography. The score is eerie and brilliant, an absolute must for a silent film such as this one. The special effects are quite good considering that the film was released in 1922. The acting is effective as Max Schreck shows an incredible amount of menace as Count Orlok. However, despite its obvious influence the film is quite flawed. There is very little character development (not too surprising) and the viewer has no opportunity to sympathize with anyone in the film. Regardless, Nosferatu is worth watching because of its influence on modern horror films and creepy atmosphere. Anyone who enjoys horror film...

I am a married woman and for years I've been cheating on my husband. Don't get me wrong - I love my husband, but I also need sex with other guys. It's just the way I am.
Recently, I've started an affair with a collage-age boy right next door, who has sex with me just before my husband gets home from work. My virile lover dumps his thick and creamy load inside me, and I wait for my husband with an already-filled pussy.
If he's not too tired, my husband fucks me, and even licks out my used pussy. So far has no clue he's getting sloppy seconds!
Let me start at the beginning. My name is Yolanda. I'm in my mid 40s, and I play tennis at a club to keep my figure. My husband Bernie and I have been married 10 years. We have no children.
I travel a lot for work, and I'm gone for a week at a time.
I've always gotten super horny when I'm out of town. I've never known why my "itch" is stronger then. I used to relieve myself by masturbating, sometimes several times each day.
My vibrator was okay, but what I really needed was someone's company. I don't like to be alone, and at night I need someone to be with.
At first I went out with other guys socially, just drinks, dinner, or a movie. But one thing led to another, and I found myself asking them to my hotel room. And having FANTASTIC sex!
At my work I train new employees, and I get to meet a lot of young men just starting out in the business world. I'm old enough to be their mom, but I think pretty enough to get them thinking about doing things with me. At each company seminar I always find at least a couple of the boys interested in more than just job training!
Let me just say that they tend to be very enthusiastic fuckers. Even though they are half my age, I can still keep up with them!!
I would have been happy with just the occasional fling whenever I'm out of town, but then Miguel and his family moved in next door. He's just 18, very cute, dark-skinned, and well built, but not muscle-bound. I wanted him the moment I saw him unpacking boxes from the moving van.
My husband Bernie works the PM shift, which means he's gone from 3 in the afternoon to just before midnight. I get home from work at 7, and I get very lonely by myself. Not good for any wife, let alone one who likes to cheat!
One night I got frightened by something outside the house. I thought it might be a prowler so I called the police. Miguel and his parents came out to see what the commotion was about, but by then, the police could find nothing, so they left. Trying to be a good neighbor, Miguel told me he'd keep an eye out for things, which included coming over most nights for a few minutes, "just to check up."
Pretty soon his nightly visits became outright flirtation. That both excited and embarrassed me. I knew his mother, for God's sake! But I wasn't about to turn him away. I found myself "dressing down" for when he came over - tight stretch pants that showed off a deep camel toe (the benefit of having a mature pussy!), low tops where he'd get a glimpse of an erect nipple or two, or perhaps a carelessly tied bathrobe with only panties underneath.
For all his flirtation Miguel was inexperienced, and I had to be the one to make the first move. I let him peel down my robe, and then I opened it all the way, where he could see and touch my breasts.
Without saying a word, I slipped out of my underwear, pushed the robe off my shoulders, and stood there completely nude while he clumsily groped over my body.
That night I discovered I was Miguel's first, and that thrilled me. I'm on the Pill, and from the start I allowed him to fuck me bareback. Miguel's cock is maybe two inches longer and much fatter than Bernie's. But it was his stamina that I liked the most. He's able to screw non-step for an hour, and can cum without going soft.
At the beginning I was worried I'd still be stretched out and dripping wet when Bernie came home. What if he wanted sex?
That happened soon enough. But instead of denying Bernie, I decided to see what he'd do. Bernie didn't say anything! He happily licked up Miguel's cum and then put his small pee pee into my already-fucked pussy, without saying a word. After that I started wanting Miguel to fuck me right before my husband came home. I guess I got turned on by the danger of being discovered, or something.
With my pussy still dripping with Miguel's fresh cum, and engorged by his always-stiff cock, I had Bernie go down on me, getting a taste of another man's fresh semen.
Bernie remarked that I was a lot wetter than normal. I told him it was a new douche I was using. To my surprise, he said he really liked it, and that it had a better flavor than usual! A creamy, custard taste, he told me. I was floored!!
My cunt had just been stretched out by Miguel's fat dick, and hadn't yet relaxed to regular size. So when Bernie put his slender little penis in, I could hardly feel it. I honestly had a hard time knowing if he was in, or just fumbling around the entrance to my hole. I always thought that "is it in yet?" was just a joke, but it turns out to be true.
For three months now, most nights of the week, Miguel comes over at about 10 in the evening. He tells his folks he's going out with friends. Instead, he just comes through the side-door to my house, where we immediately head for the bedroom. We fuck for nearly two hours, with him always cumming at least twice.
I also like the taste of cum, especially Miguel's, which is like a thick and sweet tropical drink. So I usually suck him off first, and swallow it all. It coats my mouth and throat and I can taste it for the rest of the night. The second time around he fucks me, filling my vagina with fresh juice.
Nearing midnight, Miguel slips out the side door, and Bernie then comes home no more than 15 minutes after I've had my fucking. I'm already in bed, trying to keep my lover's cum in my just-fucked cunt. Bernie and I chat as he gets ready for bed.
If I'm still needing more, I can usually get my unsuspecting husband to at least lick me clean. In many ways, this is the bigger turn-on: I love Miguel's hard dick slamming inside me, his hot cum spraying so forcefully I can feel it against my cervix. But I really get off on Bernie eating another man's jism, and not knowing it!
Someday, I think I'll let Bernie "surprise" us while Miguel is still on top of me, my legs spread out wide, and his dick stuffed balls deep into my unfaithful cunt. If my husband objects to my demands that he clean me out, I'll just remind him he's been doing exactly that for months!

Convention Center Authority backs $12M Uht Park grant request
The Erie County Convention Center Authority has officially thrown its support behind the city of Erie's request for $12 million in state funding to make various improvements to Jerry Uht Park.
The authority's board of directors passed a resolution last week that backs the grant request.
Mayor Joe Sinnott's administration on Feb. 7 submitted four Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program applications totaling $26 million to the Pennsylvania Office of the Budget. The Jerry Uht Park request was among them.
Erie City Council signed off on submitting the applications to Harrisburg on Feb. 5.
The planned improvements at the ballpark, which is managed by the Convention Center Authority, include new enclosures; expanded concessions; a team store; elevated decks and the expansion of corridors at the stadium; an exterior marquee; a larger children's area; and new lighting and walkways.
"Uht Park needs all of these improvements," said Roger Richards, a Convention Center Authority board member who heads its Strategic Planning Committee.
Erie Insurance's privately funded five-level parking garage, which has 1,000 parking spaces, is being used as part of the proposed grant's state-required local match, said Brenda Sandberg, the city's director of economic and community development. The garage, across East Eighth Street from Erie Insurance Arena, opened in November.
Its local match value is $11.2 million, Sandberg said, and it can be used for the dollar-for-dollar match because Erie Insurance plans to make it available for parking at Jerry Uht Park events.
The Convention Center Authority will provide the roughly $800,000 in remaining matching funds, she said.
"This project completes a master plan for the complex, through a public-private partnership," Sandberg said.
The city's $26 million grant request also includes $12 million for Scott Enterprises' planned Harbor Place project on Erie's east bayfront. The development plan includes a hotel, restaurant, entertainment barge, residential units, parking garages and retail and office space.
The city is also seeking $1.5 million for new restrooms and other renovations at Liberty Park on the city's west bayfront and $650,000 to revamp Perry Square, including a new gazebo and rehabilitation of the park's fountain.

A Lakeland Police Department officer was arrested Monday and accused in a case of violent road rage.
Raw video: Camera captures fight
Investigators say Officer Jerry Monroe got upset that another driver cut him off on Sunday. They said he followed the other driver into a parking lot at the Highlands Square shopping plaza in Lakeland.
Video surveillance shows Monroe getting out his vehicle, then shoving the other driver. The two men then fought and fell to the ground.
Investigators said that Monroe continued to beat the man until witnesses broke up the fight.
Monroe was booked into the Polk County Jail on a misdemeanor battery charge.

The mass of the supermassive black hole candidate Sgr A* at the Galactic Center has been determined with great precision in recent years. VLBI observations show that this source is surrounded by an ultra-compact emission region less than 15 Schwarzschildradii in diameter. We show that with the next generation of long-baseline interferometers at mm- and submm-wavelength we will able to image the shadow cast by the event horizon of this black hole, if it is one. To a distant observer, the event horizon casts a relatively large ``shadow'' with an apparent diameter of ~10 gravitational radii due to bending of light by the black hole, nearly independent of the black hole spin or orientation. The predicted angular size for the Galactic Center black hole is ~30\muarcseconds, a mere factor two smaller than the highest currently achieved resolution with VLBI techniques. We show how the shadow cast by the black hole changes for different emission models, be it a spherical infall, an advection-dominated accretion flow, or a jet. Taking into account scatter-broadening of the image in the interstellar medium and the finite achievable telescope resolution, we show that the shadow of Sgr A* can be observed if one goes to a suitably high frequency. The main problems are possible optical depth effects for an ADAF model and Doppler boosting for a jet model. While this does not change the basic shape and structure of the observable shadow, the nature of the emission model can have an influence on which dynamic range and which observing frequency is ultimately required to prove or disprove the existence of an event horizon.

After all the talk of parity entering Foothill League boys cross country, Saugus showed Wednesday that it's still the team to beat.
And the Saugus girls? They're OK, too.
Both Centurion teams went 5-0 against the rest of the Foothill League at Central Park in the first league meet. The meet was originally scheduled for last Thursday but was postponed due to poor air quality.
The Saugus boys edged second-place Golden Valley by a score of 25-31. The Grizzlies went 4-1, and Canyon went 3-2 to finish third. Valencia went 2-3 and finished fourth, while fifth-place Hart was 1-4 and sixth-place West Ranch went 0-5.
The Centurion girls beat West Ranch 25-34, while Canyon was third and Valencia was fourth. Golden Valley was fifth and Hart was sixth.
"The boys had to run hard to win," said Saugus head coach Rene Paragas. "It wasn't an easy thing. The girls had to hold back. They actually ran harder than I wanted them to."
Saugus is traveling to Rochester, N.Y., this weekend to take part in the nationally renowned McQuaid Invitational.
The Centurions girls have hopes of winning in New York, which put Saugus in a tricky spot for the first league meet.
"We wanted to protect our league title without killing ourselves for New York," Paragas said.
West Ranch junior Jennifer Owen took advantage and became the first non-Centurion to win a girls Foothill League race since the 2004 league finals.
Owen finished with a time of 17 minutes, 59 seconds, although she admitted she can still run faster.
"I just wasn't feeling it today," she said. "(The win) helps me build confidence because I didn't have any last year. There are a lot of sharp turns (on the course). I'm not good at those at all."
Golden Valley's Seth Totten finished first with a dominant time of 14:58, which was 14 seconds faster than Canyon's Thomas McGuan, who crossed at 15:12.
"It's a monkey off my back," said Totten, who broke his foot late last year at the Foot Locker Cross Country Championships. "It felt really good to compete."
West Ranch's Bailey Miller finished second on the girls' side at 18:04, followed by Saugus' Stephanie Bulder (18:10.25), Karis Frankian (18:10.61) and defending CIF State Division II champion Kaylin Mahoney (18:10.93).
It was the kind of race that West Ranch head coach Randy Smith expected to see.
"We're on the bubble whether we're going to make it to state in Division II," he said. "We're strong up front but we really need to work on the four-five-six runners."
Valencia's Falco DiGiallonardo kicked strongly, but couldn't catch McGuan and finished third at 15:12.90.
"I was really proud of (McGuan)," said Canyon head coach Paul Broneer. "He ran a perfectly smart race. We knew Falco had a great kick and we had to get at least 30 or 40 yards ahead of him at the 200-yard mark."
Hart's Sam Peckham was fourth at 15:24, while Saugus' Robert Pion was the first Centurion across the finish line at 15:29.
Hart head coach Larry David said his team was battling injuries and illness.
"We had to look to our sixth and seventh scorers, and you can't do that in this league," he said.
Golden Valley's second-place finish was bolstered Avery McDougal (15:43), Kristian Martinez (15:55) and Nolan DelValle (15:57), who all wound up in the top 15.
"People were gunning for us because we're ranked highly," said co-head coach Chris Evans, whose Grizzlies are currently No. 3 in the CIF State Division III rankings according to dyestatcal.com. "Our boys are dealing with that. We were impressed the boys stepped up."
Valencia's top finisher on the girls' side was Sarah Adams, who was seventh with a time of 18:15.
After going winless in the league last year, Valencia co-head coach Jeff Gilkey was pleased with his girls' reaction to going 2-3 in the first league meet.
"Last year the girls were 0-5 all year long, and now they're going, 'Aww, fourth,'" he said. "It's definitely a completely different girls team."
NOTES: Hayley Parkinson was Canyon's top girls runner, finishing ninth at 18:22 ... Golden Valley's Chelsea Totten was 12th, clocking in at 18:29 ... Hart's Grace Zamudio was right behind Totten at 18:30 ... Zack Bond was the first West Ranch boy to cross the finish line with a time of 17:46 ... Saugus' Alec Nelson, the top returner on the boys' side, is still recovering from an injury and finished 15th with a time of 16:08. For the girls, Saugus senior captain Amber Murakami missed the meet while also recovering from an injury.

Hunger not a problem in NM, email statedVideo Transcript
MUSIC FULL INSULTING COMMENTS THAT HUNGER ISN'T A PROBLEM IN NEW MEXICO ... REFUSES TO TALK ABOUT IT AND EXPLAIN HERSELF. BUT LAWMAKERS AND FOOD PROVIDERS HAVE PLENTY TO SAY. ACTION 7 NEWS REPORTER ALANA GRIMSTAD HAS MORE ON THE STORY YOU HAVE ONLY ON 7. SOME LAWMAKERS NOW HAVE A GROWING APPETITE FOR A STATE LEADER TO BE GONE. It's ludicrous and she should resign. THAT'S BECAUSE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SECRETARY SIDONIE SQUIER SENT THIS EMAIL SAYING, "THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AND IS NOT NOW ANY SIGNIFICANT EVIDENCE OF HUNGER IN NEW MEXICO." How can anyone say that? SQUIER'S AGENCY PROVIDES FOOD FOR THE POOR... So to say something like that is unbelievable. IN A STATE, THAT'S ONE OF THE POOREST IN THE NATION. Where is the concern, the compassion, the plan as to how we're going to eradicate this whole issue on hunger for our families? IN FACT--NEW MEXICO HAS A HUGE HUNGER PROBLEM. Absolutely the worst in the country for childhood hunger. AND THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING... Four point one million pounds of food per year. SO MANY FAMILIES IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO RELY ON THE FOOD DEPOT TO SURIVIVE. The business of hungry people is here today. It's going to be here tomorrow. AND SO THE SECRETARY'S COMMENT CERTAINLY RAISED A FEW EYEBROWS AROUND HERE. I think she absolutely does know there's an issue with hunger. There's absolutely no way she can be in her position and not know that. AND ONCE AGAIN, WE ARE TOLD THE SECRETARY IS NOT AVAILABLE TO TALK ABOUT THIS. SHE SENT A STATEMENT SAYING SHE KNOWS THERE ARE HUNGRY KIDS IN THE STATE AND HER E-MAIL WAS POORLY WORDED. I don't accept it. That shouldn't be accepted. And we should all be very angry about that. IN SF, AG KA7N. THE GOVERNOR STANDS BY SECRETARY SQUIER, SAYING THE EMAIL WASN'T STATED PROPERLY; BUT THE SECRETARY KNOWS THERE IS A HUNGER PROBLEM. FOOD BANKS SAY THEY'RE USING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT HOW BIG THE HUNGER PROBLEM REALLY IS.

Who I am
I am an active-duty Naval Officer and have a Ph.D. in experimental psychology.
My interests are in the effects of circadian rhythms, sleep deprivation,
and fatigue on performance and alertness in operational situations.
Career Path
I have served at a number of Navy labs, including the Naval Submarine
Medical Research Laboratory, the Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory,
and the Naval Health Research Center. The two-year postdoctoral fellowship
I spent in Dr. Czeisler's lab at the Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard
Medical School was part of the Navy's "outservice training" program. It
allows Naval Officers the opportunity to obtain additional training or
degrees in university and research settings.
Ironically, I am now stationed at NASA. I recently joined the Fatigue
Countermeasures Program at NASA Ames Research Center where, among other
things, we research countermeasures to the effects of fatigue and sleep
loss. I am heavily involved in the transfer of this information to the
Navy and other military services. My association with Neurolab helped
pique my interest in remaining in the NASA environment. It's part of the
reason why the opportunity to be stationed at NASA appealed to me and
why I pursued it.
Influences in my career
Recently it has been Dr. Czeisler. It was he and his work that first
generated my interest in the area of circadian rhythms. Just before meeting
him I had collected some data on U.S. Navy air crews during the Gulf War.
I was looking at the impact of combat on their work/rest schedules and
fatigue levels. It was when I was presenting some of that data at a scientific
meeting that I first met Dr. Czeisler. He pointed out to me an entirely
different way of looking at and interpreting the data. A visit to his
lab followed and these interactions spurred my interest in circadian rhythms
and their impact on performance and alertness. These experiences resulted
in somewhat of a career redirection for me. So I'll say he and his work
probably had the most influence on my current interests.
I would recommend that anyone who wanted to go into experimental psychology,
or psychology in general, obtain a broad background. The better your grounding
in all of the sciences -- the life sciences, the other natural sciences,
physics, mathematics, the better off you'll be in experimental psychology.
There's plenty of time and adequate opportunity to focus later on in more
narrow areas. The broader the background you get in high school and college,
the better prepared you will be, no matter what you want to do at the
graduate level in psychology.
Personal Information
None of us have a lot of spare time, I suppose, but most of mine is
spent playing with my kids. One just turned eleven yesterday [in March
1997] and the other is eight. They're both very active - I have two boys
- and we tend to play whatever sport happens to be in season. Basketball
season has just ended so we were playing a lot of basketball in front
of our house where we have a hoop. Now it's Little League time. We are
going out on weekends, playing catch, hitting balls, things like that.
In the summer it is swimming in the pool and in the fall it's soccer.
Altogether it serves to keep me pretty active.

Research In Brief: DNA and Property Crimes
By Phil Bulman, Writer/Editor, National Institute of Justice, Washington, D.C.
any police departments in the United States collect DNA evidence only in violent crime cases. Historically, investigators believed that it would be too expensive to collect biological evidence and perform DNA analysis in burglaries and other high-volume property crimes.
However, the cost of doing DNA analyses is decreasing. The amount of data in state and national DNA databases is increasing, and databases include a growing number of profiles of both violent and nonviolent felons. Based on information in these databases—and other information about criminal careers—researchers have found that many property offenders do not "specialize." Many also commit violent crimes and drug crimes.
For example, a Florida study revealed that 52 percent of DNA database hits against murder and sexual assault cases matched people who were originally put in the database for burglary convictions.1
Criminal justice experts have long known that property crime offenders have highrecidivism rates. The types of crimes they perpetrate, including the level of violence, can escalate. Property crime cases frequently go unsolved. The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that the average property loss from a burglary was $2,096 in 2009.2 Burglars are often high-rate offenders and the total cost from their crimes may be many times this amount. Consequently, using DNA to identify and arrest burglars who otherwise would not be brought to justice can prevent a variety of crimes.
In the past, the use of DNA to solve property crimes seemed like a poor investment, particularly if only the cost of a single crime was considered. However, when the United Kingdom reported success in using DNA to solve property crimes, NIJ funded a field experiment to look beyond the single property offense to the possible arrest of a high-rate offender. NIJ funding supported the purchase of supplies and equipment, as well as expenses of additional law enforcement personnel, prosecutors, crime laboratory personnel, and outside DNA analysis services.
The results of the study challenge the belief that collecting and analyzing DNA evidence in property crimes is cost prohibitive. The study shows using DNA in property crimes is cost effective and dramatically increases the numbers of burglary suspects identified. The results suggest that DNA collected from a property crime scene has not only the potential to prevent future burglaries, but more serious violent offenders can be brought to justice, leading to safer communities.
Testing the Use of DNA to Solve Property Crimes in the Field
NIJ-funded research teams conducted a five-city field study that evaluated the effectiveness of analyzing biological evidence collected from property crime scenes.
Local law enforcement agencies, crime labs, and prosecutors collaborated in the project, which was called the DNA Field Experiment. The participating communities included Los Angeles, California; Topeka, Kansas; Denver, Colorado; Phoenix, Arizona; and Orange County (Calif.). The study focuses on whether it is cost effective to use DNA testing to investigate ordinary property crimes.
Major Findings
Several interesting factors doubled when researchers tallied the results.
When compared to a traditional property crime investigation that focused on fingerprints, investigators identified and arrested twice as many suspects when DNA evidence was collected. Prosecutors accepted twice as many cases for processing when DNA was part of the evidence. The people arrested had twice as many previous arrests, on average, and twice as many prior convictions when compared to those arrested based on traditional investigations. Moreover, DNA was twice as effective in identifying suspects as were fingerprints. In cases where investigators collected both fingerprint and biological evidence, analysts got twice as many hits using the FBI's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) than in the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS).
Due to differences among the five jurisdictions, outcomes varied, sometimes substantially. However, the study of the five sites produced these interesting findings in common:
In the future, collecting DNA at property crime scenes may yield even better results as the size of the databases grows.
What should state and local jurisdictions look at when considering whether to adopt a policy for using DNA to solve property crimes?
Perhaps one of the most important lessons learned from the NIJ field experiment was the following: a high level of collaboration between city police, county prosecutors, and county and state crime labs is required to be successful. In the field experiment, as collaboration increased—fostered through biweekly conference calls, sitevisits, and semiannual workshops—data systems and investigative processes improved.
Indeed, producing the most cost-effective results in the use of DNA to solve property crimes requires collaboration across multiple laboratory, and the prosecutor's office.

I'm considering the meatloaf idea too, but I'd hate to ruin a good meatloaf

Peace. Love. Steak.
As far as liver goes, nothing beats foie gras. Even while considering that forcibly imposed steatohepatitis is what's responsible for its ethereal taste and silky texture. Leads me to believe that the livers of the obese in this country might be mighty tasty (not that I would dare find out).
Rabbit liver is very nice, as well.
Was it calves liver, or regular beef liver? Calves liver is supposed to be milder.
I second the liverwurst suggestion. Braunschweiger is another one I love.
My Primal Meanderings
Started PB late 2008, lost 50 lbs by late 2009. Have been plateaued, but that thing may just be biting the dust: more on that later.
Aw! Liver is awesome! Maybe it's a regional palate thing? We Northern Europeans seem to love our offals, quaffing them down with abandon. Sure, it's a strong flavour and possibly an acquired taste. What about liquidising it and making up a really strong gravy for more regular meat?
Another thing I tried the other night that worked really, really well was to blend up the liver and put it in a tomato-and-ground beef "pasta" sauce. (I use shiritake noodles instead, but essentially it's spaghetti.) Makes the sauce look like a rose sauce and tastes richer. Goes well with mushrooms if you have those to throw in too. Use lots of garlic. Anyway, the kid and the husband both asked for seconds.
Speaking of rabbit liver (and kidneys and hearts [they have two]).
I just ate my first beef liver, too! Bathed in in olive oil and cooked just until it turned dark. I could almost cut it with a fork! It had a strong flavor, which I chose to enjoy. I even ate the huge veins in it. Then I had this bowl of cooked blood and olive oil to consume (all those fat and protein calories were finding their way into my tummy somehow!), so I drained a can of peas and tossed it in. It was epically delicious and I bought chicken liver yesterday to try it again!
I'm finally genuinely seeking out the Whole Meat experience at this point. Next will be either marrow or kidneys.

The Metropolitan Police suffered a significant security breach after hackers infiltrated a conference call between the force and the FBI.
Anonymous, the loosely defined online hacking fraternity, yesterday posted a recording on YouTube of a telephone conversation between members of the Met's central e-crime unit and their American counterparts.
In the 17-minute recording, which took place on January 17, British detectives update the FBI on investigations into suspected Anonymous members. So far, ten British men have been arrested in connection with online attacks by the group last year. Suspects have also been arrested in America, Australia and the Netherlands.

5 Tips for Dining Out with Kids
My wife and I like to try new restaurants, but we're also new parents. I've seen what can happen when children behave badly while dining out, and we dread fellow patrons' death stares. Any tips?
Chuck La Vallee, Los Angeles
Dear Chuck,
Cookbook author and food god Craig Claiborne opined, "I cannot estimate how many meals are spoiled by fractious, overtired children aching to be home, and their parents are doing no one a favor by permitting such disruptive behavior." I'd guess most folks agree with Mr. Claiborne, judging by the stink eye many waiters and fellow diners show parents eating with kids. It's a shame, really. True, a restaurant is not a playground, but it's not a church either. Some parents won't go near a restaurant with their children in tow, for fear of being ostracized. It's not like this in many other countries, where kids are welcomed to the table and where, not by accident, the food culture is strong. A few tips:
1.New parents, listen up: When your baby can't talk or walk,
put him or her in a sling and get thee to a restaurant as often as you wish. People will ooh and aah at your bravery–as well as at the baby.
2.Choose your restaurant wisely. Go on the early side and avoid weekends.
Brunch was invented for families–alcohol for mom and dad, and pancakes with smiley faces for kids. Many top-notch places now have kids' menus that go beyond the nugget, grilled cheese, and buttered-pasta triple threat.
Introduce your kids to new flavors. Asian restaurants, especially Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai ones, are often casual, full of big tables of families, and loud. Small-plate restaurants, like Spanish tapas places, allow easy sharing (and if things go south quickly, you can make an exit without having to cancel your entrée order).
Adults get toys (cell phones, PDAs) to play with at the table,
so kids should, too–but keep handheld video games on mute.
Bring a small snack to tide your little one over immediately after you sit down. But if said snack ends up all over the floor, it's your responsibility to clean it up–not the waitstaff's.

Andy Hallett from "Angel," whom we can definitively say was television's best green-skinned, karaoke-lovin' demon (Deathwok clan division), has died from congestive heart heart failure at the age of 33, according to news reports.
The "Angel" actor discovered he had heart disease toward the end of the show's five-season run and had been in and out of the hospital ever since.
He played Krevlornswath, nicknamed Lorne, on the show, a gentle, wisecracking demon who had been unsuited to life on the beastly dimension of Pylea. Luckily, he got sucked through an interdimensional portal and ended up in modern-day Los Angeles, where he ran a nightclub favored by the avenging vampire Angel (David Boreanaz) and his pals. And we didn't even have to consult Wikipedia (much) for that precis.
"Angel" creator Joss Whedon created the role of Lorne for Hallett, who had been his wife's assistant, after seeing him perform one night. After his "Angel" run, Hallett left acting to focus on his music.

The Nuggets have a pretty big game Friday night versus the Thunder. And not because Denver has a shot to catch Oklahoma City, because the Thunder already clinched the Northwest.
Nope, it's because if George Karl had it his way, he might prefer his Nuggets actually lose.
"If we had to pick and choose on it, we would probably say 55 percent Dallas, 45 percent Oklahoma City, only because Oklahoma City is athletic like we are and they have two great players," Denver coach George Karl told ESPN 103.3's Galloway and Company, referring to Thunder forward Kevin Durant and point guard Russell Westbrook. "They have two All-Stars who are really in their prime and have never won on the playoff stage. I just think right now our speed might have more effect against Dallas than it will against Oklahoma City."
OK, so maybe he doesn't really want to lose to the Thunder Friday, but it would definitely go a long way in pushing OKC to the three-seed. Right now, the Thunder are just a game back of Dallas with four to play. And OKC sort of has the upper hand. The Thunder actually own the tiebreaker over the Mavs despite losing the season series 2-1 because division winners get precedent.
But it's certainly interesting that Karl would be so candid about such a thing. Most when asked just play the "We're not thinking about them, just about us" card. Karl was honest. He doesn't like the matchup with OKC. He saw it first hand Tuesday night as the Thunder beat the Nuggets 101-94. With Kendrick Perkins inside on Nene and no one to guard Kevin Durant, Karl sees a very tough series ahead.
He's right though; Denver does match up much better with Dallas. Karl has Wednesday night's 104-96 win in Dallas fresh on the brain and saw how his team really outquicked the Mavs to death. Dallas just doesn't have the horses to keep up with Denver's athletes.
I wrote about all this from the OKC perspective earlier today. To me, it doesn't matter a whole lot who you play in the first round. Blazers, Nuggets, Hornets or someone else — bring 'em on.
But if Nene and Ty Lawson suddenly come down with the flu tomorrow afternoon around 4 p.m., we'll know Karl was pretty serious about this.
Hard to blame him for wanting none of the Thunder in the playoffs. After all, the Thunderdome can be hazardous to your health you know.

Strong Vincent grad lands on his feet with 'Dancing with the Stars'
Brad Duns could have taken the practical route into the television industry by studying film and television at Syracuse University.
But in his mind, practical wasn't better. So after graduating from Strong Vincent High School in 2000, Duns headed west to Los Angeles to pursue his dream.
Thirteen years later, he's living it as associate director on "Dancing with the Stars," ABC's popular television show that features celebrities and professional dancers teaming up on the dance floor in pursuit of the Mirror Ball Trophy.
"I really have a great position on the show right now," said Duns, 31, a native of Northern California who moved to Erie with his family during his high school years.

When can I begin my research?
Research can only begin once an approval letter is received from the IRB. Therefore, subjects should not be contacted or recruited before the approval letter is obtained.
Do students undertaking class projects need to obtain IRB approval?
Research activities, such as class projects, with the goal of providing research experience to the students; by definition, research practica are not intended to add to generalizable knowledge and thus do not meet the federal regulatory definition of research.
Does my teaching study require IRB approval?
The answer is yes, if:
- You will be using the data in your dissertation or thesis.
- The data will be published (including at the Georgia State library).
- The data will be used to create a presentation that will be given at a peer-reviewed or professional conference.
The answer is no, if:
- You will be collecting the data only to better your teaching skills.
- The data will be shared only on a casual basis with other teachers close to you.
- You will share the data only within the school.
- You will present the data only to the principal.
- You will be presenting the data only to your teacher, class members, and other Georgia State students and faculty (not for a thesis or dissertation).
If I am working with frozen blood samples with no identifiers (no names or other identifiers to trace back where the samples came from), do I need to seek IRB approval?
Yes. Research involving the study of pathological specimens requires IRB review. The research may be exempt per category 4. This type of research may need additional review by the Georgia State BioSafety Officer and/or Occupational and Safety Officer.
I am working with qualitative data (e.g. sexual abuse experiences); do I need to seek IRB approval?
If the project is research, deals with human subjects, and will add to generalizable knowledge (for example a publication or presentation), then you will need to apply for IRB approval. There are several members of the IRB that are familiar with qualitative research.
What about secondary data with or without identifiers?
Studies that involve secondary analysis of data generally are not considered human subjects research. Please complete the Application for Designation of Not Human Subjects Research. This application may be found in the iRIS Portal.
If you will be using a publicly available, de-identified data set, please see the policy for those data sets at Policy for Publicly Available Archival and Secondary Data
Do oral histories need to have IRB approval?
A decision whether oral history or other activities solely consisting of open-ended qualitative type interviews are subject to the policies and regulations outlined in an institution's Federal Wide Assurance (FWA) and HHS regulations for the protection of human research subjects (45 CFR 46) is based on the prospective intent of the investigator and the definition of "research" in 45 CFR 46: "a systematic investigation, including research development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge."Specifically, for Georgia State researchers, the evaluation of such activities hinges upon whether the person is engaged in the creation of "generalizable knowledge" that is, whether the activity represents a systematic investigation in which the person engaged in such activities intends to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge. Oral history activities are designed to create a record of specific historical events and, as such, are not intended to contribute to generalizable knowledge.
It is recommended that all researchers undertaking oral history projects contact the Georgia State IRB Office to discuss their proposed oral history activities to ascertain whether the project requires IRB approval.
What about research at a pilot or feasibility stage?
Pilot studies and feasibility studies, including those involving only one human subject require the same scrutiny as full-scale research projects. Pilot studies should be identified as such in applications to the IRB. Ordinarily, the data collected from subjects in a pilot/feasibility study are not used for study findings.It must be explained to subjects during the consent process that the study is a pilot. When the pilot study becomes a full study, the PI will need to apply for IRB approval again.
What is the difference between full, expedited, and exempt review?
Full-Committee Review
Studies are reviewed by a fully-convened IRB at a monthly meeting of the Board. The Board discusses the study and makes a decision about the approval of the study. This type of review is carried out for studies greater than minimal risk to subjects.
Expedited Review
Studies are reviewed by a qualified member of the IRB. This member reviews the appropriate materials and consults with the PI, if necessary, to come to a decision about the approval of the study. This type of review is carried out for studies that involve minimal risk to subjects and fit into an expedited review category of research (see Review Categories). These reviews are conducted on an ongoing basis.
Exempt Review
The IRB compliance staff screen studies for exemptions. If a study fits into an exempt category of research and is low risk to subjects, it will reviewed as exempt. If the study is not found to be exempt, it will need to go through expedited or full-committee review.
When will I hear from the IRB about approval of my study?
The length of time a study will take to be approved and an approval letter received depends on the type or level of review required. Listed below are approximate times for approval.Exempt Review (from application submission to granting of exemption): 7 – 10 business days
Expedited Review (from application submission to primary review): 14 business days
Full-Committee Review (days after a monthly committee meeting): 7 days
Note on approval time: These times are averages for studies that are not assigned stipulations by the IRB or require additional information. Studies that are assigned stipulations will take an additional amount of time depending on how fast these stipulations are met and when they can be reviewed, either through expedited review or full-IRB review.
Why does the IRB require endorsement of a department head or chair on the application forms?
In keeping with the initiative in sponsored projects management at Georgia State University, the roles and responsibilities of researchers, department heads, and institutional officials are being articulated to ensure that all parties understand the extent of their responsibilities for project management. The IRB holds all projects, irrespective of funding source, to the same standards. Therefore, to ensure that the required local oversight of projects is in effect, all research projects that involve human subjects require the signature of the department head.
How do I submit a change in protocol to the IRB?
Any change to the approved study must be reviewed and approved by the IRB. A step-by-step guide on how to submit the amendment application is available at the iRIS Training Portal. Provide to the IRB all documents with a description of the change, a justification, and all documents revised or added as a result of the proposed change (i.e. consent/assent forms, recruitment letters or ads, revised protocols, questionnaires, permission letters from sites, etc.).
A change in protocol will be reviewed by the same method in which the study was first reviewed, either by the full-committee or through the expedited review process unless the change is minor and can be managed through expedited review. The Compliance Officer will route changes for review through the most rapid means possible.
Who should be listed on the consent form as the contact to answer questions?
45 CFR 46.116(a) (7) and 21 CFR 50.25(a) (7) requires contacts for questions about the research, the research subject's rights, and in case of a research-related injury. It does not specify whom to contact. The same person may be listed for all three. However, OHRP, FDA and most IRBs believe it is better to name a knowledgeable person other than the clinical investigator as the contact for study subject rights. Having the investigator as the only contact may inhibit subjects from reporting concerns and/or possible abuses.See the Model Informed Consent Form for more information.
How do you obtain consent from someone who speaks and understands English but cannot read?
Illiterate persons may have the consent read to them and "make their mark." 45 CFR46.117(b) (2) and 21 CFR 50.27(b)(2) requirements for signature of a witness to the consent process and signature of the person conducting the consent interview must be followed, although a special "short form" consent need not be prepared.
When do adverse events need to be submitted to the IRB?
Principal investigators are required to report serious adverse outcomes and unexpected events involving risks to human subjects or others at the time they occur; it is unacceptable to wait until the next scheduled IRB review. The event should be reported to the IRB in no more than one week of the investigator becoming aware of the event. A step-by-step guide on how to submit the adverse event report is available at the iRIS Training Portal.
What if a study contains deception or concealment?
The board defines three types of deception or concealment in studies:
- Concealment of the hypothesis is done in a majority of studies and the board does not take this type of concealment into consideration when reviewing studies.
- Concealment of some portion of the purpose or procedures occurs when the consent form or researcher does not tell the participant all of the procedures or the true and whole purpose of the study up front. This method is often used in studies that involve race or other issues in which knowing the purpose would bias participants.
- Deception occurs when false information is told or given to participants.
If deception or concealment is used in research the following four requirements must be met:
- The concealment or deception must be justified.
- The participant should be told in the consent form that some information is being withheld.
- A debriefing must be completed after the research to give the participant the complete information.
- The participant must have the option of withdrawing his or her data after the study.
Can passive consent be used in a study?
Passive consent occurs when a person is included in research unless the participant actively objects to being in the research. This is most commonly seen when a letter is sent to parents and the child of the parent is included in the research unless the parent objects.Passive consent is not considered true consent. A waiver of consent must be justified and granted if this method is used.
Does "Action Research" require IRB approval?
Action research is a term used to describe research that is conducted by a teacher in his or her own classroom. It is often done for the purpose of improving one's teaching or curriculum. If the activities are research and will be used for generalizable knowledge, it must be submitted for approval. A page, 'Determining if a Classroom Activity Qualifies as Research,' has been created to help you determine whether or not your study is research as defined by the federal regulations.
