Gun Sense Voter: Momentum is building
Published on May 2, 2014
Moms, dads, survivors of gun violence, veterans, faith leaders, and gun owners have come together to launch the Gun Sense Voter project.
My son, Jordan Davis, was murdered with a gun. I live with that loss every day — but last week, I had the opportunity to join with hundreds of moms, survivors of gun violence, and other supporters in Indianapolis during the NRA convention.
Together, we brought our common-sense message directly to the NRA's leadership, and spoke out on behalf of those who can no longer speak for themselves. It was so powerful to be surrounded by hundreds of other people who are committed to preventing any other mother from losing her child to gun violence.
Here's a short video with highlights from the event — please watch and share it with your friends and family and help spread our message:
The stories in this video come from other parents who have lost children, survivors, and everyday Americans. They show that no one in this country is immune — and that our movement is strong and growing.
Coming together with so many people who are committed to ending gun violence in America has energized me for the future of the movement, and gives me hope that no other mothers will have to experience the pain that I do.
Please share this video with your friends and family, and urge them to join our cause:
Thank you for watching,

I've drooled on my just-cleaned keyboard. Damn, you eat well.
... because I can.
Spinach, tomato and caper salad, fillet steak and lamb liver over, couple of chips and a good blob of leftover guac alongside.
What a breakfast!

Who says back fat is a bad thing? Maybe on a hairy guy at the beach, but not on a crab.
Haha! Thanks ... a bit of a one-off.
I found that piece of fillet steak at the supermarket for a massive knock-down price (£6 down to under £2) and the liver is like 75p for 400g. In the UK, we "death date" food which means the supermarket cannot sell it after it's "best before" date, so massively discount food that is on the day. Needless to say, I simply scoop up everything that is cheap - it's got days more life in it yet, so to speak. Even when it smells, just trim the outsides off and sear the rest.

Air show's stars not in the sky
Did the estimated 57,000 visitors at the Thunder on the Rock air show at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station Saturday and Sunday cheer loud enough to bring it back next year?
Maybe, but the Navy is isn't saying.
The show, which returned to the base last weekend after a four-year hiatus, entertained and had no major mishaps. The only hitch came Sunday when the long-anticipated performance of the Air Force Thunderbirds was canceled due to fog.
Still, the air show was a "success," at least according to a representative of the naval air station's public affairs office.
"We had so much stuff to see," said Petty Officer 2nd Class Joaquin Juatai. "People stayed and had a good time."
Crews for the Thunderbirds monitored conditions all day in an effort to catch a favorable time for the precision flying team to take to the skies. However, the base was socked in by fog all day Sunday. A Thunderbirds performance requires that clouds be at least 2,000 feet above ground level, Juatai said.
"At no time during the day was that minimum achieved," Juatai said.
The weather was clear and sunny all Saturday afternoon and performer after performer wowed the crowd on the show's first day.
Geoff Ball of Bainbridge Island came to the air show with his children, Sinclair, 8, and Carsen, 6. Each of the children enjoyed the aircraft displays and aerial acts.
"I liked being able to go into the airplanes," said Sinclair. "I like the big ones."
Her little brother was more impressed with the aerial stunts.
"I like watching the airplanes flying up in the sky," Carsen said.
The Ball family made it a Whidbey Island weekend, said their father, by attending Thunder on the Rock Saturday and going to the Island County Fair in Langley Sunday.
While it was foggy Sunday morning, some small planes, which require a lower ceiling, were able to fly.
Mike Wassemiller and Kim Spence of Everett eagerly awaited their turn for a ride in a vintage World War II aircraft. For $40 per person, airshow visitors could hitch a ride on Taigh Raney's Twin Beech RC-45J two-prop airplane.
"It will make it more of a memorable trip here," Wassemiller said.
Other big successes at the air show include the activities for children. The Kids' Fun Zone, set up in a nearby hangar, afforded ample opportunity for children use some of their energy.
The rock climbing walls were another popular activity for kids. Wearing harnesses, kids were hooked to a safety cable and took turns trying to get to the top of the simulated rock faces.
Behind the scenes, military and civilian personnel worked steadily to make the event safe and successful. One trio of active-duty Navy members worked to keep services running smoothly, and stood by in case of an emergency.
Part of the Emergency Operations crew, the self-identified Three Amigos -- Lt. Bert Hornyak, Chief Mike Conroy and Chief Randy Williams -- mostly acted as jacks of all trades.
"All the problems that arise, we fix 'em so the public don't see it," joked Conroy. "We've had a blast. We've done everything from fixing pumps to delivering oil."
The three worked long hours beginning on Friday, when all the planes and pilots for the acts and static displays began to arrive.
In charge of the barracks and the galley, Hornyak had his work cut out for him, finding last-minute accommodations when every available billeting room on base and motel room in town was booked.
The only reported challenge with the crowd, said Juatai, came when some visitors made a few too many trips to the beer garden. Security officers wouldn't let those individuals drive, so they had to find another way home after the show.
Although Navy officials called the air show a success, there is no guarantee it will be back next year. But it might be.
"It's a possibility," Juatai said.

CAO: wetlands know no boundaries | Letters
The proposed critical areas ordinance sets forth a system where in order to develop land, a landowner is expected to survey, delineate and, if necessary, remediate a wetland.
However, with buffers as big as 260 feet, It will not be uncommon for a wetland on one parcel to affect the development prospects of a neighboring parcel.
One of the major flaws of the proposed CAO is that it does not specify how a landowner will have access to a critical area in a neighboring parcel in order for it to be surveyed or remediated. Simply, how can landowner on Parcel A demand access to Parcel B in order to survey the wetland in order to complete the requisite study?
This potential problem becomes even more likely when it is considered that the owner of Parcel B may wish to limit the development on Parcel A.
While perhaps a governmental agency could obtain a regulatory warrant to compel a landowner to submit to inspection by that agency, I can think of no law where Landowner A can compel the inspection of Landowner B's property.
Until this eventuality is addressed, it is clear the proposed ordinance is not ready for approval.

Brandon Deaderick no longer has a role with the Patriots.
The defensive lineman was released by New England Monday along with wide receiver Andre Holmes in a flurry of moves that brought offensive linemen Tyronne Green and R.J. Mattes to town.
Deaderick spent the last three seasons in New England after joining the team as a seventh-round pick in the 2010 draft. Serving predominately as a reserve, he appeared in 34 games (14 starts) and recorded 51 total tackles, five sacks and two forced fumbles.
He took on an increased role down the stretch last season after Kyle Love was hurt and played a key role in playoff games against the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans. However, it appears Deaderick became expendable after the Patriots signed defensive tackles Armond Armstead and Tommy Kelly this offseason.
Green visited with the Patriots last week and was signed Monday morning, likely with an eye toward filling the top reserve role that Donald Thomas served in last season. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The 6-foot-2, 316-pounder previously played for San Diego and started 28 games over the last four years, including 13 in 2012. In New England, he will compete with Nick McDonald to serve as a backup to Logan Mankins and Dan Connolly, who is currently recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.
Mattes enters the league as an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina State. The 6-foot-3, 313-pounder was named second-team All-ACC in 2012.
Holmes was signed to the New England practice squad in January after spending the last two seasons with Dallas, where he caught two passes for 11 yards.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - The passing of time, particularly the passing years of our lives, is something with which we are all clearly cognizant. The implications of the passing years, however, are not things on which we often contemplate.
One of the best ways to think about this is to consider how old certain significant people in your life were at significant junctures in your life, or in their lives for that matter; and then consider this in relation to how old you are.
For instance, how old were your parents or others that you may respect or admire at seminal or memorable moments in your life?
I am 56 years old and don't consider myself as very old at all. However I considered my mother to be fairly advanced when my parents moved south for retirement; when she was 56.
Some eleven years earlier, I definitely considered my father to be old when I graduated from college on his 57th birthday.
So, were they actually not so old then, or am I actually older now than I feel that I am? On second thought, maybe this isn't one of the best ways to think about this, after all.
Perhaps, another way is to look at this is how old, or young, that significant people in history were when they accomplished the things for which they are known.
Jesus lived for less than 34 years. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech when he was 34. Teddy Roosevelt became president of the United States at the age of 42, and John F. Kennedy was elected president at age 43. Bill Clinton was first elected governor of Arkansas at age 32. Not to mention, of course, some of the more prominent historical prodigies -- and burnout cases -- like Alexander the Great and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
On the other hand there is the inspiration of relatively late, and very late, bloomers.
Among the best known of these would include people like "Little House On the Prairie" author Laura Ingalls Wilder, who was in her 60s when she published her first novel in the "Little House" series, Colonel Harlan Sanders of KFC fame didn't begin his franchise business until his 60s, and of course Grandma Moses began her career in painting in her 70's. Ronald Reagan was nearly 70 when he became president.
The reality is that we really never know how old we are because it is all relative to how long we will actually live fulfilling lives. For someone who is to live to be 100, they are very young at age 60; whereas age 60 is old if your life will end at age 65.
I look back at newsreel footage of President Franklin Roosevelt near the end of his life. He lived to be only 63, but pictures of him at the 1945 Yalta Conference are those of a very old man indeed. The great Babe Ruth only lived to age 53, but footage and photos of him as he was being ravaged by cancer depict him as a man in his 80's.
On the other hand, I saw part of a Bob Hope movie, from 1960, on one of the old movie channels the other day. Old Ski Nose lived to be 100, and seeing him at age 59 or 60 in that particular film showed to be a man of vigor in what we can now see was essentially the prime of his life.
Since none of us knows when our literal expiration date is, we should perhaps take the biblical advice of Solomon to the extent that "as a man (or woman) thinks in his (her) heart, so is he (she)." In other words, act and think young -- be young.
It would seem that the key to not being depressed in consideration of passing time and chronological mileposts is to not look back.
This makes perfect sense for the obvious reason that there is nothing that can be done about that which has already transpired. It is metaphorically spent money.
The best we can do under any circumstances is to invest the cash of time we have today in hopes of maximum returns for a lengthy future.

The Fort Dodge boys basketball team had Tuesday's game against eighth-ranked (Class 4A) Waukee marked on their calendar as an early litmus test.
Unfortunately, the Dodgers caught the Warriors at the wrong time and instead saw them at their very best.
Waukee used both its dominant size and a rediscovered shooting touch to overwhelm Fort Dodge 79-55 here last night. The Warriors made 63 percent of their field goals, bouncing back from their first loss of the season in a big way.

''They put on a clinic,'' Dodger head coach Tom Daniel said. ''When you go 6-foot-10, 6-8 and 6-7 in the frontcourt and then knock down perimeter shots the way they did - there wouldn't be many teams in the state that would have challenged them (Tuesday). They got beat (by No. 5 Ankeny Centennial last Friday) and played with a purpose and much higher level of energy against us. No question about it. I was very impressed.
''With that being said, I was incredibly disappointed in our effort overall. They hit us with a few big blows early and instead of fighting back, we folded. We aren't ready to close that gap yet and challenge elite competition. That's not saying it can't happen down the road, but it has to start with a desire and a mental toughness that we just didn't show. You can't manufacture that passion. You have to hate to lose, and I'm not sure all of our guys hate to lose right now.''
Waukee (4-1 overall) did just about everything right offensively against Fort Dodge (3-2). Before emptying their bench midway through the fourth quarter, the Warriors were 29 of 40 from the floor (73 percent) and 10 of 13 from behind the three-point line (77 percent) in building a lead that topped out at 33 points.
Fact Box
Waukee - Anthony Nelson 9-12 2-3 20, Nate Gehring 7-8 2-4 16, Michael Winger 5-7 0-0 14, Michael Jacobson 4-8 1-2 11, Trevor Allen 2-2 0-0 6, Adam Rose 1-1 0-0 3, Parker Howe 1-1 0-0 3, Grant Frey 1-3 0-0 2, Drew Urban 1-1 0-0 2, Gavin Priest 0-0 1-2 1, A.J. Allen 0-2 1-2 1, Ted Crites 0-1 0-0 0, Kellan Overton 0-2 0-0 0, Nathan Keck 0-1 0-0 0. Totals: 31-49 7-13 79.
Fort Dodge - JC Hatcher 7-13 1-3 19, Blake Wilder 5-7 0-0 10, Andrew Stover 2-5 4-4 9, Zach Martinson 2-7 0-0 6, Krunal Thakor 1-4 1-2 4, Sam Kolacia 1-2 0-0 2, Cody Rivers 1-1 0-0 2, Kyle Hanson 0-3 1-2 1, Kyle Beisch 0-1 1-3 1, Alex Jackson 0-0 1-2 1, Cody Ellis 0-1 0-0 0, Marquan Clayton 0-0 0-0 0, Thomas Hartley 0-0 0-0 0. Totals: 19-44 9-16 55.
Quarter scores: Waukee led 21-8, 39-22, 62-36. Three-point goals: Waukee 10-17 (Winger 4-6, Allen 2-2, Jacobson 2-3, Howe 1-1, Rose 1-1, Overton 0-2, Keck 0-1, Frey 0-1); Fort Dodge 8-22 (Hatcher 4-8, Martinson 2-4, Stover 1-1, Thakor 1-3, Hanson 0-3, Ellis 0-1, Beisch 0-1, Kolacia 0-1). Turnovers: Waukee 13, Fort Dodge 13. Total fouls: Waukee 23, Fort Dodge 17. Technical foul: Gehring.
Four of Waukee's starters reached double figures in scoring, led by 6-7 junior Anthony Nelson (20). Nate Gehring - a 6-10, 225-pound Pepperdine University recruit - added 16 points, including four thunderous dunks.
''We were overmatched physically in the post, and we knew that coming in,'' Daniel said of his Dodgers, who don't have a single player taller than 6-4 in their rotation. ''But then they get four three-pointers from (sophomore guard Michael) Winger, two from (junior guard Trevor) Allen (an all-state football player), two from (6-8 junior Michael) Jacobson - you try and pick your poison and hope they aren't hitting from the outside. They were making only 24 percent (from behind the arc) coming into this game, but they shot lights-out (last night).''
Senior guard JC Hatcher paced the Dodgers with 19 points, which moved him into 11th place on the school's career scoring charts. Hatcher also dished out six assists.
Blake Wilder added 10, while Andrew Stover finished with nine points, five assists and four rebounds.
''I thought Andrew played a solid all-around game. I was very pleased with his minutes,'' Daniel said. ''This is a gut-check for us. We got bullied on our home court. (The Warriors) had their A-game and were clicking on all cylinders. They deserve all the credit for that. But we lacked intensity and focus, which - in such a big spot - is troubling, especially given those are the things we can control.
''There needs to be a sense of urgency from us, and it has to start (Friday at Mason City) and carry us into the (two-week winter break).''
Fort Dodge held its second annual ''Silent Night'' holiday event in conjunction with the game, where fans were asked not to cheer until the Dodgers had scored their 10th point. Unfortunately for the home squad, that stretched into the second quarter, and by the time it happened, Waukee already led by 20.
FDSH immediately responded with a 7-0 run once the crowd came to life, but the Warriors quickly reeled off the next seven points as an answer and the Dodgers trailed by at least 17 the rest of the way.
Daniel's ballclub heads north to face Mason City (2-2) on Friday in a CIC Northern Division tilt. The Mohawks did not play last night.

We have Tim Tebow to thank for a lot of things in the world.
We have him to thank for being authentic in a place where most people aren't. We have him to thank for the Denver Broncos' recent success, but most of all we have him to thank for the new found art of "Tebowing."
If you don't know what "Tebowing" is, shame on you.

Chrome Beta for Android First Impressions [Video]
Now that Chrome Beta for Android has been available for a bit, I've taken some time to develop my first impressions of the application. It's obvious that the Chrome team is a separate division of Google that does its own thing, but we really like what they've done so far, especially with the tablet experience. It feels like a "real" web browser now. Enjoy the video!

For as long as Design News has been around--51 years--we've gotten letters from our readers on a variety of topics. It's time we let the rest of you read them.
Starting in this issue, we will run a selection of the letters we receive on topics that we think would be of general interest to and further the technical knowledge of design engineers.
Our letters come from a broad spectrum of readers, through e-mail and postal mail, and offer additional perspective on engineering problems. Some are complimentary while others take issue with stories. The best present a fresh point of view or add new information to what's already been published.
For example, in this issue, you can read about one engineer's opinion on whether the NT platform compares favorably with UNIX, another's views on finite element analysis, and thoughts about sport utility vehicles, guns, and the use of acronyms.
Each is thought-provoking, and any one of them could very well generate rebuttals, even more information on the subject, or other replies, which we will publish depending on space a-vailability. We all learn from the thoughts and experience of others.
Beyond providing a different point of view or additional information on an important engineering topic, letters can tie readers together. They present an opportunity for dialogue and feedback, and the end result is that we all get a little smarter.
So, if you've got something you want to add to an article you read in Design News, or would like to express your opinion on an important engineering topic, drop us a line or an e-mail (the addresses are on the Letters page that follows). All are subject to editing, of course, and we can't run them all because of space considerations, but we will run the most informative ones. Tell us what's on your mind--your fellow engineers would like to know.

Six-year-old African lion Neka gave birth to three healthy cubs at the Oregon Zoo Saturday night.
The three cubs, born between 8:30 and 10:30 p.m. Saturday, are Neka's first litter. The father is 5-year-old Zawadi Mungu.
Zoo officials cautioned before the birth that first-time mothers can be aggressive or insufficiently nurturing with cubs.
"So far she seems to be taking to motherhood quite naturally," said Jennifer Davis, Oregon Zoo curator for Africa and primates, in a statement. "There's still a lot that could happen, so we're being very cautious and giving her as much quiet time as possible."
Neka and her cubs are being kept out of public view in a maternity den. Staff members are monitoring the litter by surveillance camera.
After a few days, the staff may do a veterinary check-up. Until then, the genders of the cubs are unknown.
"She cleaned her cubs off right away when they came out, and she's been allowing them to nurse," said Laura Weiner, senior keeper for the zoo's Africa area, in a statement. "The cubs all appear to be healthy. They're moving around well, and they have a lot of energy."
Lion cubs typically weigh 3 pounds at birth and open their eyes within a week or two, according to the zoo.
The cubs could be introduced to the public after six or eight weeks, depending on their health.
The zoo opened the $6.8-million, 2.5-acre Predators of the Serengeti exhibit in September 2009 after going 11 years without lions in its collection. The zoo acquired Neka, Zawadi Mungu and 6-year-old Kya at that time.
Eventually, the new cubs will be sent to other Association of Zoos and Aquariums-accredited facilities, but not until they are 18 months to 24 months old, Davis told The Oregonian last week.

In the future, uniforms worn by soldiers going into battle may be more science-fiction than standard-issue.
Army researchers are developing a revolutionary Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit as part of a request for proposals from the U.S. Special Operations Command, known as SOCOM. The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering command, or RDECOM, is submitting a suit design in response to the May 15 request .
RDECOM is a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Materiel Command based at Redstone Arsenal.
SOCOM is also seeking out technology demonstrations from research and development organizations, private industry, individuals, government labs and education institutions to develop the suit.
"There is no one industry that can build it," said SOCOM Senior Enlisted Advisor Command Sgt. Major Chris Faris.

The Army version of TALOS is an advanced infantry uniform that provides wearers with superhuman strength and greater ballistic protection. It will also incorporate networking and on-board computers to provide wearers with high-tech awareness of their surroundings and how their body is reacting.
"(The) requirement is a comprehensive family of systems in a combat armor suit where we bring together an exoskeleton with innovative armor, displays for power monitoring, health monitoring, and integrating a weapon into that - a whole bunch of stuff that RDECOM is playing heavily in," said. Lt. Col. Karl Borjes, an RDECOM science advisor assigned to SOCOM.
The Army and the Defense Advanced Research Agency, or DARPA, have been developing a new exoskeleton capability known as "Warrior Web" that could be integrated into the suit. Warrior Web is a lightweight under-suit designed to work with the soldier's muscles to boost endurance, carrying capabilities and overall effectiveness.
TALOS will also have a physiological subsystem that lies against the skin. It will be embedded with sensors to monitor core body temperature, heart rate, body position and hydration levels. It may also incorporate liquid body armor technology being developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The MIT technology transforms from liquid to solid in milliseconds when a magnetic field or electrical current is applied.
"RDECOM cuts across every aspect making up this combat armor suit," Borjes said "It's advanced armor. It's communications, antennas. It's cognitive performance. It's sensors, miniature-type circuits. That's all going to fit in here, too."Fielded in as soon as three years
While the suit may be futuristic, the development timeline is near term.
Participants submitted written proposals to SOCOM at the end of May. Select entries will be chosen for a demonstration to take place July 8-10 at MacDill Air Force Base.
SOCOM said it will identify those technologies that can be fielded within a year. A second goal will be determining if an entire TALOS can be fielded within three years.

(WBNG Binghamton) Some would say Kevin Kober leads a double life. He is the lead singer in a punk rock band called Dance-A-Tron. He also teaches kindergarten at Afton Central school.
"The band is very heavy and aggressive and screaming," Kober said. "I figured people would maybe not disassociate that from what I do here (in school), and people might develop some type of bias and parents might not want their kids in my class."
Although Kober was worried parents wouldn't like his punk rock past-time -- which last Friday overtook the Martini Room in Kirkwood -- bringing music into the classroom has been helpful to capture the attention of some very energetic kindergartners.
"I definitely look for those kids to be in Kevin's class," said Afton Elementary Principal Kimberly Werth. "Because that really does make a difference in their ability to be successful in school."
Deputy Broome County Executive Bijoy Datta has played in bands with Kevin for more than 15 years.
"You certainly have to have a different sense of responsibility," Datta said."Knowing that there may be somebody waiting to take an iPhone picture of you acting like a fool if you act like a fool."
Datta said his love of punk rock hasn't hurt his professional career. In fact, he believes it's made him a stronger person.
"Whether it's Kevin or any other of our friends, we're really proud to do it because it's just part of the fabric of who you are," Datta said.
Even if their day job runs long or they come up short on practice time, Dance-A-Tron members will make time to make music.
"Just getting the chance to play in front of people," Kober said. "Whether it's five for 50, it doesn't matter. We'll still do the same thing."

Objective: To test the hypothesis that socioeconomic status (SES) would be associated with sleep quality measured objectively, even after controlling for related covariates (health status, psychosocial characteristics). Epidemiological studies linking SES and sleep quality have traditionally relied on self-reported assessments of sleep.
Methods: Ninety-four women, 61 to 90 years of age, participated in this study. SES was determined by pretax household income and years of education. Objective and subjective assessments of sleep quality were obtained using the NightCap sleep system and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), respectively. Health status was determined by subjective health ratings and objective measures of recent and chronic illnesses. Depressive symptoms and neuroticism were quantified using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale and the Neuroticism subscale of the NEO Personality Inventory, respectively.
Results: Household income significantly predicted sleep latency and sleep efficiency even after adjusting for demographic factors, health status, and psychosocial characteristics. Income also predicted PSQI scores, although this association was significantly attenuated by inclusion of neuroticism in multivariate analyses. Education predicted both sleep latency and sleep efficiency, but the latter association was partially reduced after health status and psychosocial measures were included in analyses. Education predicted PSQI sleep efficiency component scores, but not global scores.
Conclusions: These results suggest that SES is robustly linked to both subjective and objective sleep quality, and that health status and psychosocial characteristics partially explain these associations.
SES = socioeconomic status; PSQI = Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; GCRC = General Clinical Research Center; CES-D = Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale.

Institutional Review Boards as Academic Bureaucracies: An Economic and Experiential Analysis
Todd J. Zywicki
George Mason University - Antonin Scalia Law School, Faculty; PERC - Property and Environment Research Center
Northwestern University Law Review, Forthcoming
George Mason Law & Economics Research Paper No. 07-20
Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) were born from sound motives of protecting participants in biomedical research protocols from undue risk of harm. Over time, however, the scope of IRBs have expanded to cover all types of research involving human subjects, including social science research. In recent years, complaints about the operation of IRBs have spread almost as rapidly as their jurisdiction. IRBs have been widely criticized as wasteful, obstructionist and unresponsive to researchers' needs, and in the end, ineffective at protecting research safety and ethics. Born from sound motives and administered by earnest and increasingly professional administrators, IRBs today are a source of delay and frustration with little to show for the costs that they impose. This article thus asks, "Why is it that the smart and conscientious people on IRBs are so prone to making such poor decisions?"
This article argues that the problem is that IRBs are fundamentally bureaucracies, and that this bureaucratic structure explains much of their frequent suboptimal decision-making. The poor performance of IRBs is thus not a consequence of those individuals who comprise it, but rather a reflection of their bureaucratic nature. The bureaucratic nature of IRBs appears to do nothing to improve the decisions that they make, while being the source of many of their problems.
Finally, the article briefly proposes possible reforms to ameliorate the IRB bureaucracy, both by narrowing its scope and increasing its efficiency.

text: Home > Programs & Services > Surgical and Anesthesia Services > Thoracic Surgery > Conditions & Treatments > Spontaneous Pneumothorax Spontaneous Pneumothorax A spontaneous pneumothorax is the collapse or partial collapse of a lung in an individual. This collapse occurs when air gets around the lungs causing it to be pushed down. Risk Factors Spontaneous pneumothoracies are frequently seen in young healthy individuals from their teens through 40-50 years of age. Spontaneous pneumothorax occurs more commonly in males than females. Spontaneous pneumothorax is seen most often in healthy individuals who are tall and lean with a low body weight. Additional risk factors include smoking, Marfans Syndrome, thoracic endometriosis, a family history, and homocystinuria. Symptoms Usually sudden in onset Chest pain Shortness of breath Pain when taking a deep breath Sensation of inability to catch one's breath Frequently occurs at rest with no obvious precipitating factor Occasionally precipitated by vigorous coughing Diagnostic Tests Diagnosis frequently made by listening to chest Diagnosis confirmed with chest x-ray Occasionally a CT Scan of the chest will be performed to look for a bubble known as a bleb or bullae This is a CT scan showing evidence of a right sided pneumothorax. Treatment Options Depending on extent and frequency of the collapse of the lung, treatment options could include: Observation Aspiration of air Insertion of tube or catheter into the chest Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery Treatment Considerations Patients whose lung collapse once and are treated by either observation or insertion of a chest tube, have a 15%-20% chance of having the pneumothorax recur. The more often the pneumothorax recurs, the more likely it is to continue to recur. Our team of thoracic surgeons will usually consider surgical intervention upon the occurrence of a second episode although occasionally surgery may be recommended earlier, if, for example, it is difficult to reexpand the lung with only a tube in the chest or if the patient is planning on being in a situation where medical care would not be readily and easily accessible. Surgery, when indicated, will almost always be performed in a minimally invasive fashion using state of the art video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). VATS allows us to visualize the entire surface of the lung and the cavity it lies in. If there is a bleb or bullae on the lung we can remove it. Our goal is to treat you while preserving as much lung as possible. Therefore, we will do a resection of the lung know as a wedge resection. We will also simulate scaring of the lung to the chest wall to minimize the chance that your lung can ever collapse again. Several surgical procedures (pleurectomy, mechanical or chemical pleurodesis) can be used to accomplish this. At White Plains Hospital we have been performing Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery for almost 20 years and have a fully staffed Thoracic Surgery Service that includes board-certified thoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists, pulmonologist, and critical care intensivists. We also have a staff of highly trained nurses, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, physical therapists, case managers and social workers that work in-sync with your surgeon to provide great care for you when you are recovering from your surgery.

Michigan Senate Democrats will introduce a constitutional amendment that would ensure the state's school aid fund is dedicated to K-12 education and can not be diverted for other uses, Senate Democrats announced today.
"The people of Michigan have to live with the consequences of the budget passed by the legislature," said Sen. John Gleason,D – Flushing, in a statement on the announcement. "It is only fair that we ask them for their input and ensure that their voices are heard within the Capitol chambers as these significant decisions are being made."g
Snyder's K-12 funding proposal cuts about $960 million from the school state aid fund, or about 5.3 percent of the state's K-12 operating expenditures.
Also, schools would see a lofty increase in their mandatory contribution to the state retirement fund. In total, schools are expecting to lose about $715 per student.
This means about $47.3 million in cuts for Genesee County's public schools. The Flint district alone would lose more than $7.2 million.
"The citizens of Michigan have made it clear that they expect education to come first," said Senator Bert Johnson, D – Detroit. "This is exactly the type of accounting gimmick Governor Snyder said he wanted to avoid, and is yet another example of this administration saying one thing and doing another."

Let's take a walk back through time, shall we?
Back to early October of 2013, one of the best times of the year for fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs, because a.) a new season was before us; and b.) the Leafs hadn't screwed over their fans for several months, so memories dimmed and hope sprang eternal.
Until the spring.
In my NHL preview, I predicted that five of the seven Canadian NHL teams would find their way into the playoffs; Montreal (correct! yay!); Toronto (brutal defence, brutal a lot of things); Vancouver (messed up their goaltending situation, got old fast); Ottawa (overrated them, they couldn't score enough); and Edmonton (not ready, might not be for awhile).
So one out of five correct isn't bad (it's worse than bad), but those are just for fun, and now that the smoke has settled and the playoffs have gotten started, here are a few more thoughts to entertain and inform you, but more importantly, to amuse myself.
1.) Montreal could go deep in the playoffs, might even threaten to win the Eastern Conference and make it all the way to the Stanley Cup final. Unfortunately, a Canadiens fan said something to me this week that I didn't appreciate, so instead of wishing the Canadiens and their fans good luck, I now have to hope they get gonged in the first round just to shut up supporters of the rouge, blanc et bleu. (Kudos for cleverly dropping some bilingualism onto this page. To be honest though, I had to get some help from someone who knows French, to make sure nothing wrong got in the paper.)
2.) There's not one team in the playoffs this season I am interested in. I resent them all, but if I had to pick one that I could cheer for, it would be the Pittsburgh Penguins.
3. The St. Louis/Chicago series might be an old-fashioned street fight. That is two very good teams going up against each other in the first round.
4. Never count out Detroit. They play Boston in the first round and the Red Wings more than held their own against the Bruins this season. Last season in the playoffs, the Red Wings almost beat the Chicago Blackhawks, who went on to win the Stanley Cup. The Red Wings have a certain mystique that doesn't leave them even when they're not as talented as they used to be.
5. San Jose always gags in the playoffs; Joe Thornton is not a player who can elevate his game in the post-season. I only say that because he's never done it before.
6. Stanley Cup final prediction: Pittsburgh/St. Louis.
* * *
Bubba Watson is kind of odd, especially for a golfer. He is up and down emotionally like a roller coaster; cries when he wins (that's not a bad thing, but guys named Bubba aren't supposed to cry, are they?); looks slight, but hits the golf ball a mile because he swings for the fences every time he draws back his driver, and almost comes out of his shoes in the process. But Bubba has now won two Masters, is currently one of the best players in the game and, if his big swing doesn't lead to injury, he will threaten for years to come.
* * *
Non-Sports Thought of the Week: Musical taste is such a subjective thing and I kinda feel bad for even writing this (not too much, though, at least not enough to leave it out altogether), but I thought the lineup for the 2014 Pictou Lobster Carnival is more interesting than the lineup for this summer's Riverfront Jubilee, and I don't think been able to say that very often.
* * *
There's still roughly 145 games to go in the Major League Baseball season, but fans of the Toronto Blue Jays have to be somewhat relieved that the Jays' starting pitching has held up enough so that they at least look competent. Their starting pitchers are still question marks, and that team will live or die by them (like all major league teams, really), but the Jays so far have given fans reason for cautious optimism. It also helps that Boston and New York have looked thoroughly average. So far.

SUMMIT — Plans for a helipad at Overlook Medical Center hit another roadblock last week, when a Union County Superior Court Judge affirmed the zoning board's rejection of the application.
The reason for the helipad was to "reduce the amount of time for patients who are already coming by helicopter and are now landing at places 10 to 15 minutes away from the hospital," Alan Lieber, Overlook's president, said. "There are patients who we are treating who are not getting optimal care."
Andy Gottesman, a member of the Citizens Against the Helipad, said, "Anybody who really hears all of the evidence comes to the conclusion that it's of minor benefit to Overlook but is a huge detriment to the neighborhood."
The decision brought a flurry of responses on NJ.com.

My advice to Overlook Hospital is move to a community that would welcome such a vital service, let "the" snobs pick up the tax burden that the Hospital would leave behind. There are plenty of communities that would have no problem with this.
Mike Dzikowski, who said he was a former U.S. Army and U.S. Marine helicopter instructor pilot, wrote:
This was truly a wise and equitable court decision for the people of Summit, Springfield, Millburn and Chatham not to mention, the in-house hospital patients, staff and Atlantic Health helicopter flight crews carrying stabilized patients! Overlook's ill conceived ROOFTOP helipad design and, the very dangerous low altitude flight paths submitted were purely motivated for increased market share and profits. The redundant request for this helipad in addition to their Morristown helipad and Morristown Airport is totally unnecessary! For those who attended the original hearings and listened to the factual testimony, you would better understand. For those of you who are uninformed bloggers, I'm sure we'll hear the facts again.
Masterwookie wrote:
Zoning Board Attorney Dennis Galvin says the benefit does not outweigh the "danger." What danger is he talking about? The only issue to the township and residences was noise. Danger is a completely different reason that could be easily refuted by safety statistics whereas the noise issue is much more subjective.
But if the attorney is on record as saying "danger" then the whole noise issue could be considered a legal pretext, and Overlook should appeal.
mrsmass echoed the sentiment:
"The board recognizes how important Overlook is to the community … but the benefit of the helicopter was outweighed by the danger of it..." danger? or inconvenience/annoyance? I wouldn't want one near my house either, but let's call it what it is.

By Marylou Luther
International Fashion Syndicate
Dear Marylou: What can I do to update my russet pantsuit? It's a single-breasted style with a high collar—no lapels. It's in good condition, fits perfectly, as do the pants, which are cropped at just above the ankles. - E.S., Baltimore.
Dear E.S.: Follow the lead of Han Feng, China's most celebrated designer, who gives her jacket illustrated here a new twist by using three different colored threads on the buttonholes. If you like, you could repeat the idea near the hem of the pants.
Dear Marylou: My navy blue suit looks right in step with all the current menswear styles, but I'd like to give it a lift of new life. Any ideas? - J.U., Denver.
Dear J.U.: The best idea I've seen comes from London's premiere menswear designer, Paul Smith. Make that Sir Paul Smith. In one of his recent collections he showed pale blue shoelaces as well as lime and turquoise shoes and socks to brighten his most basic suits. If lime and turquoise shoes seem a little — or a lot — iffy, try the colored shoelaces. If you like the effect, use the same color in your socks. Patterned socks are big right now in the stores as well as on the runway.
Dear Marylou: What is grunge? And why do so many designers respond to it? - R.W., Cleveland.
Dear R.W.: The word is taken from both its literal meaning of dirt, filth, rubbish, and its fashion meaning, which began in the early 1990s with the clothes worn by those in the Seattle-based music movement labeled grunge. The groups included Nirvana, Sonic Youth and 10,000 Maniacs.
By bringing versions of the clothes worn by the music groups to the runway, Marc Jacobs got himself fired from Perry Ellis for his 1992 collection, but landed a spot in fashion history. Those clothes included polished versions of the original thrown-together plaid lumberjack shirts, baggy pants, striped pullovers, Birkenstocks, Doc Martens and Converse shoes and what was to become the quintessential mark of grunge: the skull cap, aka the beanie or stocking cap.
Hedi Slimane gave grunge its current boost with his first collection (October 2012) for Saint Laurent. Many attributed his inspiration to the grunge revival in Los Angeles, where he lives. The fall versions by several designers always included a plaid shirt. And plaid, as I have written, is the big pattern ahead both here and abroad.
Dear Marylou: The dress code on the invitation says black-tie casual. What in the world does that mean? My wife plans to wear cropped chinos with a beaded T-shirt and a fur stole. Does that women's fashion trend to combining casual with dressy have its counterpart in menswear? What should I wear? - H.M., Denver.
Dear H.M.: Black-tie casual means dress up, but not all the way up to formal. The idea probably started years ago when Woody Allen appeared at the Academy Awards (yes, he used to attend the Oscars) dressed in a tuxedo with sneakers. And Tom Ford helped de-formalize formal attire by wearing his tuxedo tie-less. (Note: Formal, self-tied black ties have now returned to the runways of many designers.)
You might want to consider wearing a black velvet jacket (they're back) and jeans with a white dress shirt and no tie. Or go the opposite route and wear tuxedo pants, stripes and all, with a turtleneck or a funny T-shirt.

3 thoughts on "Football preview: Princeton at Dartmouth"
Alan Gross
I guess my question is irrelevant.. after the game results. Schwieger and Dartmouth were able to prevail. I watched the game and thought Dibilio was a hard nosed runner with a great future. I liked the running scheme Priceton used- multiple backs and Epperly. Princeton should think of a scheme like Dartmouth used in their last 4 games- have a running quarterback and a passing quarterback integrated into the scheme.
Princeton shows a lot of promise- Best of luck Tigers.↓
Brett Tomlinson
Thanks, Alan. Schwieger's rushing attempts vs. Brown have been corrected above.
The Ivy League football media guide lists both season and Ivy season totals, but the "Annual Rushing Leaders" list uses the Ivy-only total.↓
Alan Gross
One Question and one clarification:
Question: When did the Ivy League rushing title change from overall ypg to Ivy game only ypg? Schwieger's last two titles were based on overall as far as I know.
Clarification: Schwieger had 37 rushes for 137 and 3 catches for 11 against Brown.

PRICHARD, Alabama -- From across the expanse of a small field where a number of tents have sprang up and and music blared from several corners, a man howls "You're a traitor" to Floyd Cotton.
Cotton, 36, was a football coach at C.F. Vigor High School; he spent about seven years working at Mattie T. Blount High School -- until this year, when he left to work with special teams and wide receivers at LeFlore Magnet High School.
Now, taunts like this are common. "All the time," Cotton said.
And even more so during this game: The so-called Battle of Prichard, a football matchup between Blount and Vigor.
Much like the Iron Bowl -- the yearly clash between the University of Alabama and Auburn University -- the rivalry runs deep. To hear the alumni, boosters and residents tell it, for 42 years this game has defined the city. The winner granted the bragging rights for a year.
There was a snag this year, though. The only two high schools based in the city of Prichard were moved into different classes. The Vigor Wolves now play in the seven-team Class 5A, region 1; and the Blount Leopards play in the 9-team Class 6A, region 1.
Technically this is more of an exhibition game. But don't tell that to Flettie Tandy, 69, graduate of the class of 1965.
"Only if you are from the city of Prichard do you feel the way we do about this game," said Tandy, who is the president of Blount's national alumni association.
The competition has it's roots in the early integration of the area's schools. For the first time in 1972, the the mostly white Vigor played the mostly black Blount.
"I'll never forget it. We beat them 44-0 right out here," said Mobile County School Board President Reginald Crenshaw, a class of 1974 Blount graduate. "It was one of the most memorable games I've ever played."
The enmity grew from there, but it has leavened over the years. Now the match has become a long held tradition, so much so that the game was moved to Saturday to attract more people. Though they aren't listed on each other's regular season schedule, the game still has meaning.
Spectator came out early for Saturday's evening game, some as early as 10:30 a.m. A healthY number of people tailgated for the match.
Think about it, said Joey Davis, 43, President of the Vigor Alumni Association, looking at the large group of people around midafternoon. "This is a jamboree game -- look at it."Related: Vigor and Blount game stopped short after shots feared

A Lake Charles man who authorities believe was a main source of prescription drugs sold illegally on the streets of St. Bernard Parish was arrested at a Chalmette motel, Sheriff Jack Stephens said.
Jon Manzella, 54, and his girlfriend, Dawn Blackwood, 51, also of Lake Charles, were arrested Dec. 28 after a search warrant was served at the motel where they were staying, the sheriff said.
Deputies recovered 1,200 perscription pills worth $5,000 and $2,900 in cash, some in a metal safe, Stephens said.
Authorities said Manzella is a former St. Bernard resident who has lived in Lake Charles since Hurricane Katrina.
"This arrest ends a large supply of prescription drugs being sold illegally in St. Bernard Parish on a regular basis,'' the sheriff said in a press release. "Hopefully, it has an impact on the amount of such drugs reaching our streets.''
Investigators believe Manzella was obtaining prescription pills in other areas and bringing them to St. Bernard, where he had maintained contacts from his time living in the parish.
Manzella and Blackwood were booked with possession with intent to distribute the drugs Oxycodine, Hydrocodone, Xanax, the muscle relaxer Soma and methadone, Stephens said.
Manzella, who acknowledged giving pills to Blackwood to help control pain, was also booked with distribution of Lortab, according to the press release.
Both suspects are being held in St. Bernard Parish prison. Manzella's bond is $150,000. Blackwood is being held on $110,000 bond.

Bank of America Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and other U.S. banks told a New Jersey court that defects in their processes for seizing homes in the state can be remedied without halting foreclosures.
The banks have taken steps to improve their procedures, making a suspension unnecessary, they said in documents filed Wednesday in state court in Trenton, and made public today. The filings came in response to a proposal to freeze foreclosures in the state by six U.S. banks while their procedures are reviewed.
The banks' practices came under scrutiny after bank employees signed court documents in foreclosure cases without verifying their accuracy, according to court papers.
"Bank of America fully appreciates the court's concerns and looks forward to working with the court to address them," the Charlotte, N.C.-based company said. "The court should not take the steps outlined in the order because they are unnecessary and will cause a wholesale delay in administering foreclosure cases that is not in the public interest."
Judge Mary Jacobson scheduled a Jan. 19 hearing to consider suspending uncontested foreclosure cases and staying foreclosure sales by the banks: Ally Financial Inc., Bank of America, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo & Co., Citigroup Inc. and OneWest Bank, according to a Dec. 20 order.
The move "is necessary to protect the integrity of the judicial foreclosure process in New Jersey and to assure the public that the process going forward will be reliable," Jacobson said in the order.
Newark law firm Greenberg Dauber Epstein & Tucker was appointed to respond to the arguments made by the banks and to present arguments supporting the foreclosure suspension. Thomas Slocum, an attorney at the firm, couldn't be reached for comment.
The New Jersey actions add to the legal challenges banks are facing across the country. The 50 state attorneys general are investigating foreclosure practices by banks and mortgage servicers, while homeowners in several states have filed potential class-action lawsuits against the companies.
Another 24 banks and mortgage companies also are under scrutiny in New Jersey. Those companies, including government- owned Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, must "demonstrate affirmatively that there are no irregularities in their handling of foreclosure proceedings," Judge Glenn Grant said in a separate Dec. 20 order. Foreclosures by those companies may be suspended after they make submissions to a special master, according to the order.
The banks said in their court filings that they have reformed their procedures for preparing foreclosure documents and imposed new safeguards to avoid defective paperwork. They said they will submit revised documents in foreclosure cases when necessary.
"With such oversight in place, Chase submits that there is no need to impose a stay of proceedings pending a review of past practices," New York-based JPMorgan said. "To date, Chase has not identified or become aware of any systemic deficiencies in its processes that caused it to pursue foreclosure actions without merit."
Citigroup, also based in New York, said a review of its New Jersey foreclosure cases found that affidavits in 210 cases need to be corrected. Those cases, and any others that require corrected paperwork, will be dismissed and refiled using "enhanced foreclosure documentation procedures," the bank said.
Wells Fargo, based in San Francisco, argued that suspending foreclosures and appointing a special master to review foreclosure procedures would violate New Jersey's constitution.
The case is In the Matter of Residential Mortgage Foreclosure Pleading and Document Irregularities Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division-General Equity Part, F-59553- 10, Mercer County (Trenton).
