Program Overview
Student Research Opportunities
The Emergency Medicine Research Training Program at Icahn School of Medicine is a year-round research training program for undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, medical, and graduate students. Research experiences include, but are not limited to, literature reviews, protocol development, instrument design, data collection (patient interviews, surveys, chart reviews), database design and maintenance, data cleaning and entry, data analyses, participation in the writing of abstracts, scientific reports, and grants. Our program is designed to provide students with a rich, hands-on, research and educational experience in Emergency Medicine.
During the academic year, post-baccalaureate students looking for clinical exposure, Mount Sinai medical students completing research electives, and graduate students fulfilling their field placements, participate in the Research Training Program.
Summer Program
During the summer months of June through August, we conduct an eight-week program. Students of the summer program participate in an intensive orientation, weekly research meetings, didactic sessions, a student presentation and data collection in the Emergency Department. Students will also participate in hands-on ultrasound, simulation, and suturing workshops designed to give students a well-rounded glimpse into clinical care.
Students will be closely involved in various aspects of clinical research. Students are paired with physician or nurse investigators and collaborate with them on one or more research studies. The program will commence with student presentations, where they will be given the chance to showcase the project(s) that they have worked on throughout the eight-week program.
2016 Summer Program Dates: June 13- August 5, 2016
Previous projects of students have included:
- Innovative Geriatric Emergency Department Reducing Revisits and Hospitalization
- Improving the Management of Acute Pain Care for Older Adults in the ED setting

Russell Brand's New Girlfriend Speaks Out
Everyone copes with breakups in different ways. While some choose to create hardcore music videos that turn them into an empowered marine, others prefer to surround themselves by a bevy of beautiful women. Unsurprisingly, Russell Brand falls into the latter category.
Less than three months after filing for a divorce from Katy Perry, the actor has already been spotted with a new girlfriend—a model, no less. Her name is Nikolett Barbabas, and according to Life & Style, she had nothing but nice things to say about her new leading man.
"He's amazing, so funny; he's beautiful," Barbabas told the magazine during Brand's stand up show at Largo in LA on March 22. "I like being with him; he's amazing, so amazing. He's a good person."
In recent weeks, the pair have been spotted together non stop, even taking a romantic bike ride in New Orleans. However, Brand doesn't seem ready to delve into a strictly monogamous relationship quite yet, having been spotted flirting with several pretty brunettes after the show. But Barbabas seems perfectly content with the way things are.
"He was really flirty, but even in the sea of women, Nikolett just hung back and let him do his thing," an eyewitness reported. "He even kissed one pretty brunette quickly on the lips and told her she was gorgeous!"
But the English star is aware of his infidelity-stricken past and has previously admitted that it's the reason most of his relationships don't work out. "I haven't always treated women well — more than one relationship has collapsed because of my infidelity — but to this day I feel a fierce warmth for women who have the same disregard for the social conventions of sexual protocol as I do."
Before his relationship with Barbabas began, Brand had been romantically linked to artist Oriela Medellin. Do you think this one will last?

The Central Penn Knights came into Monday night's game as winners of eight of their last nine games, and ranked sixth in the USCAA Division II polls. The Knights continued their hot streak by crushing the Christendom College Crusaders 88-41.
Central Penn jumped out early behind the sharp shooting of sophomore Justin Reynolds and the tough inside game of junior Devon Dorsey. The Knights led the entire game as the Crusaders could not match Central Penn's speed and athleticism.
By halftime, the Knights led by 30 points and held the Crusaders to only 19 total points in the first half. The large lead allowed Central Penn to make several lineup changes and provide plenty of game-time experience for the deep bench. Dorsey led the Knights with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Freshman Maalik Rochester added 11 points coming off of the bench.
Jasmine Robinson sinks 2000th career point in loss
Senior Jasmine Robinson came into the game only 5 points from her 2000th point, and those points didn't come easy. The Christendom College Crusaders held the Lady Knights' leading scorer in check the entire first half, as Robinson scored only four points going into the locker room.
Central Penn jumped out to an early 10-0 lead before the Crusaders were able to regroup and take control of the game midway into the first half. Central Penn could not stop the scoring efforts of Christendom's Mary Barbale, who dominated the game with 40 points and 12 rebounds. However, all eyes were on Jasmine Robinson as she approached the 2000-point milestone. One minute into the second half, Robinson rattled in an 18-foot jumper to reach her 2,000th point.
Christendom stretched their lead to 28 before Central Penn was able to cut into the lead with their pressure defense and quick baskets by seniors Desiree Lawrence and Tequila Robinson. Lawrence and Tequila Robinson both led the Lady Knights with double doubles (16 points and 11 rebounds, and 17 points and 10 rebounds, respectively). Central Penn dropped their final home game 76-58, and finish their season at Valley Forge Christian College on Saturday.

Zathura PlayStation 2
- Publisher: 2K Games
- Release Date: Nov 2, 2005
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The laughable A.I., boring level design, pedestrian graphics, and tattered story make this a game that should be avoided by young and old alike.
A brief and generic action game that does nothing to distinguish itself from the glut of similar--and cheaper--games on the market.
Ultimately Zathura is a full priced game with the least amount of play value I've seen in recent memory. An average gamer would get through this adventure in a few short hours which means for goodness sakes, rent this one if you're itching to play the movie.
AceGamezZathura isn't a particularly bad title; it just lacks anything that puts it above most other recent releases.
This is a short, tired, and ineffectual piece of work that is best left forgotten.
I can't really say I enjoyed anything about this game. It is completely normal for a franchise title, anything based on a film or TV property, and although I wish it weren't true, I can't recommend this game to anyone.
It actually plunges past mediocrity into outright craptitude.
Regardless of the fact that it is a kids game, Zathura really doesn't do anything more than create bad frame rate issues and a straining time on anyone.
Official Playstation 2 Magazine UKThose in search of family-friendly thrills should pick up the last "Sly" game instead. [Mar 2006, p.85]
Kids have done this all before over and over again in more distinct and sleeker settings. Besides the cool runaway Robot sequences there's nothing that's challenging, innovative or eye-catching about Zathura.
It is rushed, cheap looking, repetitive and gets old fast, and for the price it's not worth it.
I don't care how much you loved the film, do not buy this game. If your children absolutely loved the movie, then give Zathura a rental at most for them to get their thrills.
To me, I wouldn't even leave this game in the basement, as you never know who may find it.
An utter disgrace. It's tedious, blatantly made on a zero budget with zero effort, and consequently is about as much fun as spending a day transcribing random pages from the phone book.
PSM2 Magazine UKBlocky, awkward and creatively broken, Zathura is another lazy, cut-price movie tie-in that just isn't worth getting involved in. [Apr 2006, p.73]

My research focuses on the use of wireless, networked and mobile technologies for telling stories in new ways. How to design interactive and distributed narrative experiences in public places merging the real space with the narrative experience.
> research
The Media Portrait of the Liberties (...more)
The "Media Portrait of the Liberties" is a location based narrative taking place in an old Dublin neighbourhood. Local stories, from Mairen Johnston book "Around the banks of Pimlico" serve as the basis for the web of community related anecdotes phisically distributed in the neighbourhood's streets. The fragmented narrative is available in form of location aware media segments through GPS enabled PDA's, to the audience roaming the neighbourhood streets. A map of stories is superimposed to the topography of the real place, altering the audience perception of the space and creating a sense of place.
The "Selkie"are Seals that can shed their skin and come on to land to live a human life..but only for a while. Until they hear the call of the ocean again. Myself and Alison Woods brainstormed about possible narrative structures for the distributed interactive version of the tale as part of her "Nature Trailer" project (A joint research project between the Story Networks and the Everyday Learning research groups at MediaLabEurope). Alison adapted the story and both of us photographed and filmed some of the story fragments.
Hopstory: a story distributed in time and space taking place in the old Guinness Hopstore of Dublin. Four fictional characters spend a day in the Hopstore. The audience can capture scenes of their daily life by wondering through the building space. By collecting data at different locations and different times the audience edit its own version of the story.
Weird View is a multi-branching interactive narrative, harnessing the power of hyperlinked structures and oral storytelling. True stories were collected by word of mouth from inhabitants of a terrace of houses in Dublin, Ireland, and supplemented with video and photography to form a collection of narrative fragments. In this way, Weird View attempts to capture part of the community folklore and re-present it to the community in the form of an interactive, nonlinear narrative. The Weird View project was realized in collaboratin with Jo Briggs.
ePostcards from the Liberties (...see the postcards )
This project focuses on using digital technologies to collect, produce and display stories about a community of people sharing the same urban space; The space is viewed as a dynamic structure for stories and memories exchange between the community and the passers by. Electronic postcards of the Liberties is a short project realized in collaboration with Alison Woods.By talking to people in the streets of the liberties, We capture stories and anecdotes from the neighbourhood. From the collected stories we produced a series of electronic postcards. Potentially these postacard are available to the people pasing through the neighbourhood streets via mobile wirless technologies.
Unfolding Stories
Using public dispalys as output for interactive content how can we structure a story in an engaging experince for singles as well as multiple participants? To investigate this question i built a number of small prototypes questioning singles and group interaction with public dysplays. A misterious image on a public screen reacts to the audience that come into close proximity with the display. The more people look at he image, the more the image comes into focus. A little bit of its story is revealed to each person, but only the audience as the sum of the single people that interacted with the piece will hold the complete message.
Iteractive Fishtank (concept)
An interactive fish tank describes the behaviour of an Ad Hoc Network .The image is composed of a number of 2-D graphic tiles mapped to represent different information collected from the network. The overall activity of the Ad Hoc Network (traffic of packages and mobility of the nodes) is mapped to the state of the water on the surface of the fishtank. From calm to rough, depending on preset thresholds, the state of the water represents various degrees of activity. Fish of different size and colours are mapped to the different nodes entering and exiting the networked area.
The electronic apple (...more)
The electronic apple is an interactive public dispaly rappresenting information of the sourrounding area in an entrataining yet non intrusive format. Infrared sensors monitor the flow of people through a narrow passage. for each person entering the space, a bite is taken from a two dimentional apple displayed on a public sceen. A bite is returned to the apple for each person leaving the room. The same apple concept and prototype has been used to visualize nodes of an ad hoc network going in and out of range. The work was adapted by the Networks and Telecomuications Research Group in Trinity College Dublin.

KALAMAZOO, MI — Two foreclosure prevention events taking place this week will offer free advice to Kalamazoo County residents in fear of losing their homes to mortgage or tax foreclosure.
The second seminar will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Northside Association for Community Development, 612 N. Park St.
County Treasurer Mary Balkema will be on hand along with representatives from the other host agencies to provide information about assistance services available to Kalamazoo County residents facing foreclosure.
"If you are facing foreclosure or debt collection, you should seek help as soon as possible," Balkema said. "The numbers are staggering. You should not feel embarrassed. You are not alone."There have been 50,000 mortgage foreclosures in the state of Michigan throughout the last 12 months and more than 800 properties will be foreclosed on this year due to unpaid property taxes, according to information provided in the press release.
NACD will offer information on a weekly clinic to assist those apply for programs to help maintain ownership of their home. One such program, Step Forward, provides up to $30,000 in assistance for homeowners facing mortgage or tax foreclosures.
"Too often we see people who, understandably, may be overwhelmed by the process," said Ragan Savara, staff attorney for Legal Aid of Western Michigan. "The sooner homeowners request assistance, the more options they have."Those unable to attend are being encouraged to contact the 211 help line for information about how they can receive foreclosure assistance.

Amidst these difficult circumstances there has developed an increased
sense of insecurity among Russian Jews, who in recent months have confronted strident
anti-Semitic rhetoric in the political arena on both the national and local levels and a
number of highly public acts of anti-Semitic violence.
On the national level, the case of Communist Party General Albert Makashov is
particularly striking. As a member of the Duma, the lower house of Parliament, General
Makashov has become infamous worldwide for his anti-Semitic outbursts blaming Jews
for the country's economic problems, and advocating the establishment of a quota on the
Other outrageous pronouncements by General Makashov include an editorial by him in the
Russian newspaper Zavtra, printed in October 1998, which stated that a
"Yid," a derogatory term used in Russia to mean Jew, is "a bloodsucker
feeding on the misfortunes of other people. They drink the blood of the indigenous peoples
of the state; they are destroying industry and agriculture." He caused the greatest
splash later in October when he led two fiery rallies, in Moscow and Samara, commemorating
the 81st anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, which were repeatedly shown on Russian
television. At these rallies Makashov angrily shouted "I will round up all the Yids
and send them to the next world!"
The Duma has failed to explicitly censure General Makashov for his anti-Semitic
remarks, and in particular for his comments calling for death to Jews. In November 1998,
the Communist members blocked two different motions to censure the retired General, which
had been put forward by the opposition Yabloko party. Rather, the Parliament adopted a
vaguely worded resolution, condemning ethnic hatred, with no reference to Jews,
anti-Semitism or General Makashov. The Communist party has also failed to condemn General
Makashov or to discipline him. Instead, the General has found a number of vocal supporters
within his party and among Russia's many nationalists.
In reaction to General Makashov's October comments and the Duma's failure to censure
him, President Yeltsin requested a statement from Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov
regarding his party's position on anti-Semitism. Mr. Zyuganov's response reiterated the
accusations made by the most anti-Semitic members of his party. In the form of a letter to
the Ministry of Justice and the National Security Chief, Zyuganov's response contained
harsh anti-Semitic references reminiscent of the old Soviet era and served only to
heighten concerns about anti-Semitism in Russia.
The letter stated open opposition to Zionists, contending that Zionism is among the
"most aggressive imperialist circles striving for world domination. In this respect
it is related to fascism," and further asserted that, "Communists...rightly ask
how it can be that key positions in a number of economic sectors were seized by
representatives of one ethnic group. They see how control over most of the electronic
media -- which are waging a destructive campaign against our fatherland and its morality,
language, culture and beliefs -- is concentrated in the hands of those same
individuals." To many, Mr. Zyuganov's remarks came as no surprise, as he has long
been known to use anti-Semitism for political gain.
In January 1999, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) dropped charges against a
number of Russian extremists, including General Makashov, after determining that their
incitement did not constitute criminal activity. However, in late January, Russian
At the same time, many believe that General Makashov's anti-Semitic activity has
permitted other nationalists to feel free to unleash their own anti-Semitism. Indeed, some
nationalist factions sharing the parliamentary majority have become increasingly willing
to use anti-Semitism as a political strategy. In December, the head of the Duma's Security
Committee and Communist party member, Victor Ilyukhin, asserted at a parliamentary session
that Jews were committing genocide against the Russian people. He complained that there
are too many Jews in President Yeltsin's inner circle and called for ethnic quotas in
government posts to remedy the situation. In support of Ilyukhin's anti-Semitic comments,
Russia's Human Rights Commissioner Oleg Mironov stated that ethnic Russians should have a
special status in Russia. "The Russian idea [anti-Semitism] is being voiced. And it
should be voiced in a country where the majority of the population is Russian."
Return to Top
Krasnodar: On the local level the most outstanding case of political
anti-Semitism is that of Nikolai Kondratenko, Governor of the southern Russian region of
Krasnodar. For the past two years, residents of Krasnodar have been bombarded with his
anti-Semitic rhetoric on television, at youth forums, and at mass rallies where he
regularly charges Zionists with brutal oppression of ethnic Russians, and blames Jews for
the political and economic problems plaguing Russia. "Today we warn that dirty
cosmopolitan brotherhood: You belong in Israel or America," Kondratenko said at a
Russian Victory Day rally in March 1997.
More recently, in March 1998 at a youth congress in Krasnodar he addressed his audience
with a two-hour speech dedicated to the "Jewish Question." Elected on a platform
of Russian patriotism, since becoming Governor, Kondratenko has transformed this position
into one of ultranationalism, declaring that ethnic Russians are the only ethnic group
which belongs in the region.
St. Petersburg: In November 1998, the election campaign for the local
legislature in St. Petersburg was loaded with anti-Semitic undertones, from anti-Semitic
newspaper and television appeals to defaced campaign posters and leaflets disparaging
Jewish candidates. The St. Petersburg Times reported anti-Semitic graffiti that
read, "Bash Yids; Save Russia," smeared across the wall of the campaign
headquarters of a Jewish candidate, Victor Krivulin. In response, the city's residents
overwhelmingly elected liberal candidates for city council in the December run-off
election. But the anti-Semitic flare-ups that characterized the campaign shocked many who
had viewed the city's population as generally well-educated.
Numerous incidents of popular or "street" anti-Semitism also took place in
1998, as they have for the past several years. It is important to note that there is no
evidence of an increase in physical attacks against Jews from past years. However, these
attacks, in conjunction with the mood of political anti-Semitism throughout the country,
have made the Jewish community feel particularly vulnerable. Among such incidents have
been the May bombing of the Marina Roscha Synagogue in Moscow;
For many years, ultranationalists and anti-Semites have found a place within Russia.
Neo-Nazis and skinheads have been spreading anti-Semitic propaganda and committing
violence against Jews. Currently, some 80 nationalist political parties and organizations
exist in Russia, three of which have adopted neo-Nazi symbols, ideology and behavior.
These parties disseminate copies of more than 150 different extremist periodicals, many
including neo-Nazi literature, to the Russian-speaking population throughout the former
Soviet Union.
For example, the virulently anti-Semitic extremist group, Russian National Unity, is a
paramilitary group registered in 25 Russian regions. It is thought to have at least 6,000
active members and up to 50,000 non-active members and has a presence in some of Russia's
ruling bodies. At the same time, the skinhead movement in Russia, which first appeared in
the mid-1990s, already claimed 10,000 members by 1997. In July 1998, the Russian
Government proposed a ban on Nazi symbols and literature, but the legislation is still
awaiting approval from the Russian Parliament. Locally, however, the Mayor of Moscow, Yuri
A leader of Russian National Unity, Igor Semyonov, was sentenced in 1998 to two years
in prison for inciting hatred toward Jews and people from the Caucasus Mountains. At the
trial, a local Communist leader denied the massacre of over 33,000 Jews at Babi Yar in
1941 and a Russian Orthodox Priest testified that according to the Talmud, Jews "kill
children, gather blood" and use it to make matzah. Although the judge sentenced
Semyonov, no objection was made to the anti-Semitic testimonies used at the trial.
In June 1998, the Russian Government ordered the reburial of Czar Nicholas II and his
family in St. Petersburg. During the preceding months, the Russian Government and the
Russian Orthodox Church conducted an investigation into the killing of the Czar and his
family, which included a probe into whether they perished in a "ritual murder"
perpetrated by a Jewish conspiracy. The Church also published this xenophobic assertion in
a final report on the death of Czar Nicholas II.
In December 1998, residents of a number of apartment buildings in the Kuban region of
Krasnodar found leaflets circulated by a local fascist group in their mailboxes with the
message, "Help save your dear, flourishing Kuban from the damned Jews-Yids! Smash
their apartments, set their homes on fire! They have no place on Kuban territory....
Anyone hiding the damned Yids will be marked for destruction the same way. The Yids will
be destroyed. Victory will be ours!" The leaflets also called on voters to support
Governor Kondratenko, known for his anti-Semitism, for president. However, citizens
reacted by immediately reporting the leaflets to local authorities as an incident of
anti-Semitism. Meanwhile, also in December, residents of the city of Novosibirsk in
Siberia found their mailboxes stuffed with anti-Semitic messages blaming Jews for the
nation's economic hardships. This took place after a spurt of racial graffiti around the
city and the distribution of hundreds of stickers with the slogan, "Jews are
At the same time, local education officials in Krasnodar recommended that an
anti-Semitic book be used as a high school history textbook. "The Secret History of
Russia in the 20th Century," was published with public funds, and contains
anti-Semitic myths about the negative influence of Jews in Russia since the 1917 Bolshevik
Whatever these troubled economic and political times suggest for Russia's future,
In July 1998 the President again spoke out against neo-Nazism by criticizing his
Justice Minister for allowing extremist and ultranationalist groups to receive official
certification in Russia. He said that the Russian Constitution prohibits registration of
such groups. In September he attended an historic ceremony for the opening of the
Holocaust Memorial and Synagogue in Moscow and called for a moment of silence for those
who perished in the Holocaust, while Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov presented an 18th-century
Torah scroll to the synagogue.
In November 1998, following the Duma debate on General Makashov's anti-Semitic remarks
which ended in a failure to condemn the General, President Yeltsin issued a public
statement against extremism and ethnic hatred. His top security and defense officials also
Furthermore, a number of Jewish and liberal lawmakers have been outspoken in expressing
their outrage at the new trend in political anti-Semitism ahead of the upcoming elections.
Following the Duma's failure to censure General Makashov, Duma member Iosif Kobzon asked
his legislative colleagues to shield him and other Jewish lawmakers from such nationalist
supporters. He said, "The Duma is supposed to represent the nation. Instead it seems
to be condoning Makashov and his open anti-Semitism." As Makashov supporters rallied
outside the parliament building shouting anti-Semitic slogans, some Jewish and liberal
lawmakers responded by walking out on the Duma session.
One particularly ardent advocate of human rights, who frequently spoke out against
anti-Semitism in Russia was Galina Staravoitova, a member of the Duma and adviser to
President Yeltsin on nationality issues. In November, Ms. Staravoitova was assassinated,
startling Russia and human rights activists worldwide. She was one of the leading voices
of democracy in Russia and a true friend to the Jewish community. In fact, shortly before
her death, she aggressively spoke out against General Makashov's rhetoric and criticized
her colleagues for their failure to censure him. While there is no evidence that her
murder was an act of anti-Semitism, it indeed underscores the political chaos and rampant,
A recent poll sheds light on the popular Russian reaction towards the trend of
political anti-Semitism. The independent poll taken in October in Moscow by the
All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion revealed that a majority of Russians
agree that anyone insulting the national dignity of the Jews should be prosecuted with all
the severity of the law and that it is necessary to guarantee that Jews continue to enjoy
equal rights in access to institutions of higher learning. At the same time, however, the
poll demonstrated that of 1,509 respondents, 52 percent would respond negatively to Jewish
social-political organizations and parties operating in Russia, while 34 percent believe
records should be kept of Jews holding leading positions in Russia, and that quotas should
be kept on such numbers.

Gender Reveal Day!Lauren Hartmann
Today is like Christmas morning for me, because today is the day that we get to find out the sex of our baby! I'm not so much excited about it being a boy or a girl, but I'm mostly excited about just finding out another little detail about this miniature person growing inside of me…
At 2:15 I'll have my ultrasound, but I won't get to find out just yet. We'll be having a gender reveal party later tonight where we'll be finding out alongside friends and family just what we're having as we all bite into our cupcakes simultaneously to reveal pink or blue inside.
I'm hoping that baby will cooperate with us and show us it's business, so keep your fingers crossed and I'll post photos soon of the outcome and the party!
Did you find out the sex of your baby? Were you even able to tell from the 18-20 week ultrasound? Did any of you have a gender reveal party?
Please share!

text: Please Register or Log in to Remove this Advertisement! I'm happy to see the Bears 2-0. Were were ranked #9 on most sites. I see us maybe going to #8, but there was a lot of luck in this game, so maybe staying at #9 or possibly dropping to #10 (I'm hoping for #8 though). I thought we would catch Green Bay, but I think they might jump up a spot. However I'm more shocked at San Fran right now. I knew the Seahawks were good, but they annihilated San Fran today. I see Denver and Seattle in #1 and #2 (either or). I see 49ers dropping to at least #4. What are your thoughts?

Great points... what some people want is to "have your cake and eat it too".. no expensive proprietary hardware (or worse, inability to upgrade), or having to choose between the two platform variants (roku vs walled garden boxes)
I know that we don't have the kind of resources right now that are needed to get this up and done, but it's just so within reach.... the chinese clone phones to use as a remote are readily available (though they need an external case of some sort for durability), hardware could be standardized (a slim and a "fat" model), nice looking cases are most likely available...
So i think if we manage to get the software side taken care of (a monumental task though), the hardware will be much much easier to come by.
I don't have any illusions about this project, but i think that the walled garden companies will not readily bridge the gap between their own offerings and roku's for at least a few years... which creates that nice niche for a truly "free" ecosystem, one that webOS can fill..
It's really worth laying the foundation for something like this, because who knows, a homebrew kit might appeal to a few thousand people, and if there will be enough momentum, a reputable chinese manufacturer may become interested in selling it as a packaged, ready-made product. This isn't like a mobile phone, and much more realistic IMHO, because there is a market for unsubsidized boxes and independent content, and we aren't really aiming big. If we start with small steps and the market's current offerings don't change, like you said, we could really have something. I'm not saying it won't be hard, i'm just thinking this is less risk and potentially "cooler" than trying to re-enter the phone market right away. A foothold in consumer appliances isn't bad at all.

The specter of death panels lives.1 As a reminder of their origin, the House of Representatives version of what eventually became the Affordable Care Act (ie, the health care reform bill passed in 2010) included a provision authorizing Medicare to reimburse physicians for the time they spend discussing with patients their goals and preferences surrounding end-of-life care. "Advanced care planning" is the term used for the process of patients' thinking about and communicating their values and preferences, whereas the term "advanced directive" refers to the related legal document. The advanced care planning process helps ensure that individuals receive the health care they desire at the end of their lives. The provision had widespread bipartisan support until the summer of 2009, when Sarah Palin morphed talk of providing support for patients who wanted to have a discussion with their physicians concerning their priorities into rhetoric alluding to "death panels." The provision was removed from the pending legislation in reaction to the ensuing maelstrom.

A number of attendees at BIO 2009 mentioned the release of a new "Global Impact Study" on agbiotech. The report was produced by PG Economics, which is based in the U.K.[pg} The key message was that farmers on a global basis are growing more crops via environmentally sustainable agbiotech techniques.
"The Global Impact Study shows that agricultural biotechnology contributes to both environmental and exonomic sustainability," noted Sharon Bomer Lauristen, executive vp for food and agriculture for BIO.
"A record 13.3 million farmers in 25 countries are using agricultural biotechnology," added Graham Brookes, director of PG Economics and co-author of the report, which can be downloaded in full at www.pgeconomics.co.uk
"The farmers are seeing increased yields and improved productivity, and they are enjoying gains in income as a result."
According to the study, the use of biotech crops has helped environmental sustainability by reducing the release of greenhouse gases from farming practices and by lessening the need for pesticide spraying.
The Global Impact Study goes on to point out that the use of biotech crops has made a huge impact on economic sustainability by providing substantial net economic benefits at the level of the farm amounting to $10.1 billion in 2007 and $44.1 billion from 1996 through 2007.

You probably didn't hear about the following low-level news, so let me catch you up: The only video game series that includes some sex scenes, "Leisure Suit Larry, " will not include nudity in its next sequel, subtitled "Box Office Bust." This is odd. Imagine if Playboy were the only nudie magazine in the world, and suddenly it began nixing naked photos.
"Leisure Suit Larry" is putting on clothes because it can't make as much money as a naughty tale. Whenever there's a mild sex scene in a game, even though it would be considered PG-13 material in a movie, it risks getting an "A" (for "adult").
Games such as "Leisure Suit Larry" have been targeted by political groups, who lash out at game-makers and even retailers that don't sell "A" games.
Think about the consequences. There are few love stories or romantic relationships in video games, because game-makers can barely show two people kissing heavily without getting smacked down by the Entertainment Software Rating Board, which operates slightly less puritanically than the Hays Code did with movies in the 1930s.
So console games have gone down the path of many movies in the 1930s and become reliant on gangster lore. Those fatal games get rated "T" for "teen, " or if they're super bloody and contain one scene featuring a half-naked woman, they get an "M" for "mature."
This is where the new Ninja Gaiden II comes in. Billed as the sequel to perhaps the greatest action sword-slicing game ever, "Gaiden II" has ratcheted up the blood and gore beyond its predecessor's.
This time, you lop off people's heads by the hundred, and watch blood squirt profusely out of their necks, arms and torsos, after impaling or dicing them with swords, a metal staff, metal talons attached to your hands, a steel club, projectile stars, a knife, and a bow and arrow. You then stand amid bloody piles of arms and legs.
I am not saying "Ninja Gaiden II" is too violent. It is acceptably violent in its own context for fans of the genre, just like "Kill Bill" and "Scarface."
"Ninja Gaiden II" is addictively fun not necessarily in its butchery, but in epic game play. You can spend a dozen hours (if you're very good) or 60 hours (if you're not good) running through a series of beautifully drawn locales in Japan, New York and elsewhere, while fighting many tough villains.
There are two downsides. Camera angles mess up a lot, then you're not sure which evil monster you're slicing. And the game doesn't come with online, multiplaying fighting.
If, without playing it, you think it sounds too gory for kids, well, you are not alone. The ESRB rated it "M." It is not to be sold or rented to kids younger than 17. If a kid plays it, it is the responsibility of parents or adult supervisors. And remember, most gamers are adults, anyway.
So here's my question. What would you prefer our nation of adult gamers to be? Killers? Or lovers? While you're thinking about that, feel free to go lop off someone's head in "Ninja Gaiden II." It's a lot of fun.
Ninja Gaiden II by Microsoft retails for $60 for Xbox 360
Plays fun and addictive. Looks great. Very challenging. Rated "M" for partial nudity, suggestive themes, blood, gore and intense violence.

Innovative parking garage boasts a number of "firsts"
Chris Leighton, ParkWise Manager, and Jennifer Gillaspie, Procurement Administrator, City of Tucson, Arizona; Presenters, 2006 APWA Congress
The Pennington Street Garage, located in the heart of downtown Tucson, Arizona, is a visionary project that is answering an important parking need while playing an instrumental role in revitalizing Tucson's city center. The garage is an exemplary project for its use of innovative technology, "green" building principles, an efficient project delivery system built on strong partnerships between the public and private sectors, and its role in the revitalization of a major metropolitan downtown. As the largest municipally owned solar-powered facility in the State of Arizona, the Pennington Street Garage has become a model for green building—particularly green building in the public sector.
The garage is a mixed-use facility with approximately 750 covered parking spaces and 12,000 square feet of ground floor office and restaurant space. It boasts a number of "firsts" for Tucson, including:
The Pennington Street Garage was built using innovative, sustainable technology to minimize impact on Tucson's sensitive desert environment while maximizing benefits to downtown workers, residents and visitors. The U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards were used to guide many aspects of the project. One of the building's highlights is its solar-powered lighting system, which keeps the facility safe and well-lit 24 hours a day. From the beginning, it was decided that utilizing sunlight—a plentiful resource in this sunny, southwestern city—was a top priority and essential to the community's well-being.
On a practical level, the challenge was to ensure that the system would be both environmentally friendly and affordable. Thanks to the participation of Tucson Electric Power, the garage boasts a 65 KW photovoltaic system that produces the lowest-ever cost per kilowatt-hour for solar power generation. The system uses sunlight during the day to offset the power used by the building, allowing the garage to be kept safe and well-lit at night—at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems.
Recycling was another innovative approach to minimizing environmental impact. Instead of sending most of the project's waste to a landfill, the former City Annex building, which was demolished to make way for the Pennington Street Garage, was ground up and used to fill the site. All of the steel from the demolished building was recycled and some components of the original building, such as corrugated glass railing and terrazzo tile entry, were salvaged and reused in the new structure. When recycled/salvaged materials weren't possible, every effort was made to choose the most environmentally friendly options available. For example, LEED-certified bamboo flooring was chosen for the garage's ground floor office space, along with polished concrete floors and LEED-certified carpets.
Along Pennington Street, the building features a 20-foot-wide arcade to shade pedestrians from the sun. The arcade and adjacent commercial and restaurant space are having an important impact on downtown by encouraging more street life and pedestrian activity—essential ingredients for a thriving city center.
Even the garage's design is green—literally and conceptually. The outward look is consistent with one of Tucson's unique architectural styles—a version of art deco sometimes called pueblo deco. The colors of the garage are consistent with the bright, vibrant look of downtown and the surrounding Sonoran Desert. The dominant hues are green, to reflect the desert's foliage, and the brilliant red of many cactus flowers and fruits.
Local artist Simon Donovan was involved with the design-build team from the beginning of the project and created several pieces of stimulating visual art for the building. Over a quarter of a million blue marbles, sandwiched between two sheets of perforated metal, act like stained glass windows on the building. The marbles reflect sunlight as it shines through in the daytime, and the marbles take on a magnificent glow at night because of special theatre lighting installed inside the garage. Customers find the art fun to touch and play with as the marbles roll around in place.
You may be thinking that a facility with so many innovative features could not have been built by a municipal agency, what with all the usual red tape and bureaucracy. In fact, thanks to a recent change in state law, Arizona's public agencies have the ability to use qualifications-based project delivery methods such as design-build as alternatives to the more traditional design, bid, build method of project delivery. Design-build allows the owner to purchase design and construction as a best value rather than as a commodity. For the Pennington project, the decision to use design-build allowed the City to select the most qualified team to design and build the project. Having the designer and the contractor under a single contract allowed for a collaborative approach to resolving issues and implementing creative solutions that was pivotal to the success of the project.
The first step in delivering the project was developing the design specifications that would ensure the resulting structure would meet the City's needs. A parking consultant was hired to develop detailed specifications that were included in the solicitation for the design-build firm.
To select the most qualified design-build team, the City published a Request for Qualifications on the City's website. Notices were also sent by mail to firms registered with the City. The six firms that responded were evaluated by a selection committee and shortlisted based on their qualifications. The top three firms submitted proposals, which were evaluated and ranked by the committee. The City successfully negotiated a Guaranteed Maximum Price with the team of D.L. Withers and Dick & Fritsche Design Group.
There were many challenges involved in building the Pennington Street Garage. The project's location in a dense urban environment presented several challenges that the team successfully overcame. One of these involved the foundation of a historic building located next to the garage construction site. Supporting piers planned for the garage were reduced in size (more piers were added to support the garage's weight) to avoid damaging the sensitive rubble foundation of the adjacent historic building. Tucson Electric Power, the local electrical utility, did its part by applying a creative approach to relocating electrical lines under the center of the building to assist in providing special access for utilities.
What ensured the project's success were the excellent construction management techniques and strong, cooperative relationships formed between team members. The result is an innovative, environmentally responsible building that adds 750 much-needed covered parking spaces to downtown—all for a very affordable final cost of $12 million.
In summary, the Pennington Street Garage offers an innovative and unique approach to a downtown development challenge: creating much-needed parking in a dense urban environment while using sustainable technology, green building practices and cooperation between the public and private sectors. The garage is an excellent example not just of green building, but also of green building successfully applied to a large-scale urban project. Solar-powered lighting, an automated entry and exit system, and environmentally-friendly building standards present ideas that others could easily modify for their downtown circumstances. The goal of the Pennington Street Garage project—to answer downtown Tucson's growing parking need with a unique, energy-efficient design—has been achieved.
The Pennington Street Garage is a major accomplishment made possible by strong public-private partnerships and a multidisciplinary team approach. The team includes:
Chris Leighton and Jennifer Gillaspie will give a presentation on this topic at the 2006 APWA Congress. Their session is entitled "Tour the Award-Winning Pennington Street Garage" and takes place on Monday, September 11, at 10:00 a.m. Chris Leighton can be reached at (520) 791-5071 or firstname.lastname@example.com; Jennifer Gillaspie can be reached at (520) 791-4400 or email@example.com.

WARSAW – A 33-year-old Nunda woman was arrested on a charge of aggravated drunken driving for having two young children in her vehicle when she was stopped about 1:14 a.m. Friday on State Route 362 in the Town of Wethersfield.
Laurie J. Bownds, of Keating Lane, Nunda, was arrested by Wyoming County Sheriff's deputies as she was driving south in the northbound lane of that roadway.
She failed field sobriety tests and an open alcohol container and marijuana were found in her vehicle. There were two children, ages 4 and 8, in the vehicle.
Bownds was charged with two counts of aggravated driving while intoxicated with a child in the vehicle under the state's Leandra's Law, and standard drunken driving, with higher than a 0.08 percent blood alcohol level, consumption of alcohol in a motor vehicle, unlawful possession of marijuana and failing to keep right. The children were released in the morning to an adult and Bownds' car was impounded.
She was held for hours in the Wyoming County Jail until her bail was posted.

How to I stop or maintain weight gain after quitting smoking?
I quit smoking about a month ago after 10 years of consistently smoking half a pack a day (YAY!). I have been diligent in NOT changing my diet or exercise during this process as I need to focus on one goal at a time. One of my biggest struggles with quitting is fear of weight gain, and it is happening. I would like to stave off some of that effect. I need advice from other people who have gone through quitting either smoking or other serious addiction and how they mentally coped with weight gain or physical changes and in general what can work to get back to your previous weight or accept the extra pounds. More details below the cut. [more inside]
I want to quit my PhD but I am faced with an ethical dilemma.
I have just started the second year of my PhD in History (fully funded), and I want to quit because I don't enjoy it and it is making me miserable. However, my supervisor feels I am responsible for finishing the project, or at the very least I should stay for another year and publish two more articles.

I have only 80 hours left of work, but should I bail early?
I have severe social anxiety and depression, but I've been trying to work part-time with the support of my state's vocational rehab program. I have a natural exit point from this job coming up on August 27th, and I intend to take it. I don't know, though, if I can make it that long. [more inside]
Should I keep my resignation secret?
I sent my resignation a few days ago after several years in the company.

I found it to be extremely uncomfortable doing that. [more inside]
How do I tell my boss I'm NOT going to grad school?
For miscellaneous reasons I no longer wish to go. How do I tell my boss? Do I tell? I am more than happy to continue my professional development (as such)... just less intensively and more cheaply!

I need a time machine

Quit or stay
Another Ph.D quit-or-stay question: I'm really unhappy in my particular lab, and maybe unhappy with the whole idea of the Ph.D. I still like the idea of research - just want to work on a project that I'm interested in.

How do I tell my boss I want to leave my job before my 3-month notice period ends?

I quit a job without notice more than a year ago, and I still haven't fully recovered. Please help me overcome my shame and move on with my life. [more inside]
Do I stay (for a little bit) or do I go?
I really dislike my current job. I have a job offer from a company that would love to have me and is willing to accommodate all timing logistics. However, I still feel guilty about quitting my current job, for a myriad of reasons. Give me permission to quit. [more inside]

Quiting by Email
I need to resign my job sometime on monday - I'm taking a position at another company. Through contracts and sub-contracts, I have at least 3 different "bosses" who work at three locations - I only sit at the same location as one boss (one of the others is fairly accessible). Is submitting a resignation by email to the off-site bosses acceptable to mainstream north american business etiquette? [more inside]
I regret quitting my job. What does it mean?

It's only 3 more weeks of my life - but what if I get hit by a bus? I want to enjoy myself but am trying to be sensible
I am 3 weeks away from finishing my first on-campus semester of university. After much though, last week I decided that I will definitely not be continuing my studies - and now I am struggling to motivate myself to finish the semester. How can I get motivated?

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the firing of Detroit Lions president Matt Millen, but his dark shadow still looms over the organization. While general manager Martin Mayhew, president Tom Lewand and head coach Jim Schwartz have made drastic and wholesale changes to everything big and small throughout the franchise, they simply can't distance themselves from the devastation. Not yet.
Tonight on 'The Insider' (6-7 p.m. on WDFN-AM 1130 Detroit), we'll hit a wide range of subjects concerning the Detroit Lions and most of them have tentacles reaching back to the Millen regime. But this won't be an hour-long bash session on Millen's mistakes – most Lions fans can recite those by heart. Instead, this will be a look at how the Lions are making some progress with their young players, the mistakes they're making, the improvements you might not see and whether the Lions are really going to snap that 19-game losing streak on Sunday.
Is Matthew Stafford really learning from his interceptions? Just how bad -- or good -- is Jeff Backus really playing? What exactly did Jerome Felton do wrong against the Vikings? Is Louis Delmas on the verge of being a legit playmaker? We'll also talk about why Schwartz is annoyed with the media -- and why the media won't pay any attention to him. Join me and Russ McNamara on 'The Insider' for all the answers.
