Steven Bander, MD, Receives FBI Director's Community Leadership Award
Steven Bander, MD, received the FBI Director's Community Leadership Award (DCLA) on March 2, 2011. The prestigious award was given to Bander for the programs he has funded using his qui tam settlement, including Saint Louis University's Bander Center for Medical Business Ethics.
The ceremony was held in the Pitlyk Auditorium of the Learning Resource Center at the Health Sciences Campus and hosted by the St. Louis division of the FBI. The awards ceremony was followed by a lecture by FBI Special Agent James Applebaum and Assistant U.S. Attorney of the Department of Justice Andrew Lay. Nearly 200 fourth-year medical students and faculty were in attendance.
One DCLA recipient is selected from each of the 56 FBI field offices in the United States each year. FBI special agents nominate individuals for the award whom they believe should be recognized for their tremendous support of FBI programs and investigations. This special award was formally created in 1990 to honor individuals and organizations for their efforts in combating crime, terrorism, drugs, and violence in America.
Bander was Chief Medical Officer for Gambro Healthcare U.S., which was, at the time, the world's largest supplier of kidney dialysis services. In April 2001, Bander filed a qui tam lawsuit claiming Gambro had defrauded Medicare and Medicaid out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Ultimately, Gambro was made to pay more than $350 million in civil and criminal penalties to settle the claim, which remains the largest settlement in Missouri history. Whistleblowers are entitled to a percentage of the settlement. Using settlement funding, Bander established a charitable foundation that focuses on business ethics in healthcare. In 2006, Saint Louis University formed the Bander Center for Medical Ethics with support from the foundation. In 2009, a sister program was established at Washington University, the Bander Business Ethics in Medical Research Funding Program. Special Agent in Charge M.B. Kinder, of the FBI St. Louis Division, who presented Bander with the award, said "Dr. Bander knew he would end his career, and he knew he would have to pay lawyers' fees up front to file his suit. What he didn't know was whether he would prevail. Yet he stuck his neck out because he knew he had to do what was right."
Bander thanked the FBI for the honor, and added that being a whistleblower is something he hopes none of the people in the audience would have to experience. "It was a big decision on my part and the repercussions have been life-long. Luckily for me, it has turned out to be very good. But again, it was an easy decision to make once we exhausted all our options of trying to make change within a company that did not want to change," Bander said. He also noted that Lawrence Biondi, S.J., Saint Louis University's President, embraced the idea of raising awareness about medical business ethics. His support set in motion plans to create the Center and integrate medical business ethics into SLU's School of Medicine curriculum.
James DuBois, PhD, DSc, the Director of the Bander Center, began working with Dr. Bander in 2006. He observed that Bander's vision for the Center was prescient. Within a year of establishing the center, the topic of medical business ethics was receiving significant publicity and becoming increasingly important. "The Association of American Medical Colleges produced reports on conflicts of interest. The Institute of Medicine produced a major report on conflicts of interest. Pharma produced new guidelines on relationships with physicians. The whole area really exploded," DuBois said. He added that with the help of Dr. Bander, the Bander Center for Medical Business Ethics is poised to meet the growing educational needs of students, residents and practicing physicians.
Most recently, the BF Charitable Foundation helped establish a new academic journal called Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics: A Journal of Qualitative Research. It will serve as a forum for exploring current issues in bioethics and its first issue, scheduled to be published this fall, focuses on conflicts of interest in medicine.

Starting a new job is exciting. But it can also be a crazy, confusing time, says Jill Thomas, senior management analyst with the San Juan Capistrano Building & Engineering Department in California. "There are lots of new people, names, locations, and duties to take in," she says.
When new employees enter most work environments, a certain level of mentoring takes place as more established employees provide helpful hints, guidance, and support. But with such an informal process, information can be missed that's not covered in employee handbooks.
"It's easy to see how busy coworkers can overlook the new employee who's desperately looking for information—not only about their particular jobs, but also the work-place information that sometimes takes years to gather," says Thomas. "Seemingly unimportant details often get delayed or forgotten altogether."
This is why the department established an official mentorship program: to help new hires navigate the ins and outs of protocols and culture.
When Administrative Coordinator Lindsey Mannan joined Building & Engineering nearly two years ago, she became the department's first "mentee." And Thomas became its first mentor.
The mentorship program ensures that each new employee is assigned a long-term mentor (minimum duration of six months to 1 year). This is a managerial-level employee who does not directly supervise the new hire, but who exemplifies core department and city values. Chosen based upon such knowledge, the mentor provides guidance and general direction in keeping with the city culture, department framework, and teamwork principles.
The mentor and mentee meet regularly—at least once every two weeks in the beginning—to discuss the new employee's expectations, address any questions or issues, and walk through the department's "service credo." The credo focuses on customer service and includes five components: productivity, personal responsibility, integrity, dedication/loyalty, and cultivating a "can-do" attitude.
Whereas supervisors typically train, manage, and evaluate employees, mentors support new employees by acting as a resource. Employees should feel comfortable discussing issues with their mentors without fear of judgement.
"It would've been so great to have someone to bounce questions off of regarding anything—personal or work-related—when I started," reflects Thomas. "In developing this program, I was reminded that I never received 'the city tour'."
And that's where the mentor comes in. Under Thomas's guidance Mannan did receive the city tour. She learned about other city departments, met employees from those departments, and toured the city to personally see projects and historical sites.
Most importantly, the process quickly familiarized Mannan with her own department.
Plus, says Mannan, "I can approach my mentor with any situation that may arise and feel confident that we'll work together for a resolution." She considers the program "a great opportunity," and, with Thomas as a mentor, her knowledge base of the city continues to grow.
There are also benefits to being a mentor.
"I'm constantly reminded of not only how far I've come, but where I might want to go," says Thomas. "It makes me want to seek out and follow through with a plan of my own—with my own unofficial mentor."

Also, Eddie Lacy is ridiculous. IMO, he is just as good as T-Rich. Probably a little less speed but he has better vision. He will be the best RB in the class. He reminds me of a young Ottis Anderson.

Current Underclassmen Total:
My Mock with all the new jr's declaring and draft order being more clear and college season being over would be like this as of now...
Picking 19th overall..
1). Ezekiahl Ansah DE BYU- I think Warmack will be gone, and its a toss up between Ogletree, Ansah, and Fisher as to who i would draft here.. I went with Ansah, becuase we might just have a shot at Minter in RD 2, and DE drops off signicantly after early rd's...
2). Khaseem Greene OLB Rutgers- Just flat out dominated his bowl game, and is a sensational physical LB who would be our first legit LB prospect in quite some time that we drafted, outside of Sintim, who some debated even then, that he was more of a 3/4 guy.. Greene brings attitude to defense, and playmaking ability...
3). Levine Toilolo TE Stanford- Finally, i think we have our future TE and one who is worthy of keeping around for yrs to come, and has size to be a force as a blocker and the pass catching skills to be one of ELI's better weapons.. Easily would of been a 2nd rder, had he returned, so i like the value..
4). Darius Slay CB Miss St.- Hes quietly moving up draft boards, and rightfully so.. Hes got great size, athletic ability, speed combanation, and if not for Jon Banks, would be more well known around the country..
5). Blaize Foltz G TCU- A solid player with good size and expierence.. Foltz did a nice job for the horned frogs this past season and would be solid value mid 5th rd, and i believe he has starters potential..
6). Earl Wolff SS NC State- One of my sleepers from start of season, when i coulden't believe most mock sites had em as a 7th rd- UDF type pick.. Now hes moved up to 5-6 range, and its about time the leader of the NC ST secondary(yes, it is him and not amerson) is getting some respect.. Santaman also likes Wolff, and if u watch em, he plays smart and savy, can hit, and seems to always be around the ball..
7). Dennis Johnson RB Arkansas- I like this kid as a 3rd down back, who can catch , and do diffrent things for ya.. Short and stocky build similar to the doug martins, and MJD's, i believe he would make a nice comp back for David WIlson going forward..

Downtown Nashville cityscape in the morning. Photographer: AndreyKrav, iStock Collection, Item #450171045
The city of Nashville has a long and colorful history, having first been visited by Europeans as early as the 16th Century and being established as an official city in the Spring of 1780. The city wraps around the Cumberland River which, in the 1700s, was a major trade route for trappers and eventually became a major commerce center for Middle Tennessee. Interestingly enough, it was officially created and named Nashville by the State of North Carolina in 1784. At that time Nashville was a part of that state.
In the late 1790s, North Carolina gave all of its lands from the Allegheny mountains to the Mississippi River to the U.S. Federal Government and in 1796 that territory was admitted into the Union as the State of Tennessee. Nashville became its capitol in 1806.
The city played a major role in the U.S. Civil War. Tennessee was the last state to cede from the union and became an immediate target of union forces. As a result of that onslaught, Nashville was the first Confederate capitol city to fall during the War Between the States.
After the war, the city quickly returned to its status as a key trade center and grew in prosperity and population. It became a center for music, particularly country music, in the 1930s. The Grand Ole Opry was founded in 1925. And that is the beginning of the city's musical history.
According to the Music City website, as the 1800s unfolded, Nashville became a national center for music publishing. "The first around-the-world tour by a musical act was by the Fisk Jubilee Singers from Nashville's Fisk University. The Music City website provides more details on the historical importance of music to the city in particular and the state in general.
It's also of importance to the rationale behind bringing a newly birthed HVAC industry seminar and product showcase event to the shores of the Columbia River. In fact, Comfortech first settled in Nashville in 1996, the second year of the show's existence and the training, education, music, and fun lead to Contracting Business bringing the event back again the very next year (1997) and then four more times in its 19-year history.
And so that long-winded intro enables me to say, "Ladies and Gents — get ready for the year's best annual event in the HVAC Industry. Comfortech 2014 returns to Nashville, TN for the sixth time, and we're looking at one of the best meetings ever."
If you haven't been to Nashville for this conference and product showcase event, then you're in for a real treat: Nashville really IS the country music capital of the world and Comfortech sets the standard for HVAC contractor networking, education, and technology.
There are 28 sessions divided into four main tracks: business management, service management, sales and marketing, and technical. Sessions are being taught by some of the industry's best known and most respected trainers and award-winning contractors, and the fun, yes the fun, especially with our Wednesday Night Extravaganza, which will be held in the famous Honky Tonk Central — three floors of music, food, and camaraderie.
We welcome entrepreneur, music producer, and educator Robin Crow as our Wednesday morning keynote. He brings the tantalizing sounds of five different guitars to his motivational talk about the need to "Evolve or Die." And our Thursday general session keynoter, Lt. Col. Robert Darling, USMC (Ret.) will share his experience protecting President Bush during the 9/11 attacks with a message on the importance of having a strategic plan.
If you haven't already done so, register today for Comfortech 2014 today. Join us in Nashville and get your country music on!
Looking forward to seeing y'all there.

As we all know, Facebook deployed the new Timeline Pages last month and, as expected, the first public reaction was a waterfall of rants about the new approach for Tabs.
Marketers have been in a period of adaptation for the last couple of weeks, creating new strategies to improve their communications, adapting to a new marketing approach through more visual content and storytelling, and why not, what to do with Tabs.
One of the most significant changes that came with Timelines for Pages is that we no longer have the possibility to set up a Tab as default landing for first-time visitors. A Tab that was mostly used to improve on Like Conversion and gave you the possibility to welcome visitors with a customized message.
Why Custom Tabs didn't work before
If you are used to spending some time looking at your Page Insights, you've probably noticed that Tabs other than the "Landing Tab" get much lower traffic if any at all. The reason is that we were forcing new visitors to hit the "Landing Tab" before they could get to the wall. It will be as saying the most visited page on your website is the homepage.
Additional Tabs were receiving fewer hits mostly because their links were hidden below the profile photo on the left sidebar, when the eye automatically goes to the right of the screen, exactly were Facebook Ads are located.
This is the reason why Facebook marketers exploded when they saw the "Landing Tab" go away. We immediately assumed that without the "Landing Tab", the whole Tab concept is dead… or is it?
Why Tabs are more relevant than ever
Tabs are more important than ever because:
- They were moved to prime real estate in the page right below the Cover Photo, what we now know as the "Favorites" section, making them more prominent
- They got a lot more visual with the 111x74px graphic rather than the small favicon-like icon
These 2 points turn Facebook Pages almost into a brand minisite, think of the "Favorites" section as the navigation bar on your website.
This is the Social Media Examiner Facebook page already making great use of the "Favorites" section to promote products and events.
810 pixel Tab
Let's point out the obvious here, you have more space since the width was changed from 520px to 810px. What you're not looking at is the fact that everything else on the screen has been eliminated for you, turning a Tab into the perfect Sales Page, all sidebars and distractions are gone so your prospect can focus specifically on your content.
Here is a great example of a product sales page from Amy Porterfield
The Landing Tab is still Alive
Sure, the new default landing for Pages is now the Timeline and there is no way around it, however, the "Landing Tab" is not dead yet. Let me explain…
Fan Gates, Reveal Tabs…
The functionality has not changed, you are still able to build things like Reveal Tabs because nothing has really changed on the actual tab, other than its size. The possibilities in terms of programming are still the same.
Using URL's
Chances are you link to your Facebook Page from external properties such as your website/blog and even from other social profiles. Here are a couple of examples:
Here is how I'm linking to the SocialMouths' Facebook Page from LinkedIn
And from my Digg profile
We usually use the main Page link, which looks a little like this https://www.facebook.com/socialmouths.
All you have to do is replace this "main" address with the URL of the actual Page Tab on every single place where you promote your Facebook Page.
Facebook Ads
If you run Facebook Ad campaigns that point to your Page, you can do the same thing here, instead of using the main address, you can direct visitors to any specific Tab on your page.
The Like Box
The Facebook Page Like Box, like the one I display on my sidebar here, does NOT allow you to direct visitors to Tabs, they will land on the Timeline no matter what.
In other words, with this technique you can send all the traffic coming from external sources like your website and other social profiles and from your Ad campaigns to your Landing Tab, the only traffic that will still go directly to the Timeline is the one that comes from the Like Box and people coming from inside Facebook.
In that case, the only thing you can do is have a compelling call-to-action in your "Favorite" icon to hopefully drive people to click through. I named my Tab "Start Here" to see if that helps a bit. I'll tell you later how it goes…
How to build Facebook Tabs DIY style
This week I launched a FREE online Mini-course on how to build Facebook Custom Tab on your own. The course is a massive 28-page tutorial that covers the entire process from becoming a Facebook Verified Developer to different ways of creating the actual content for your tab and types of media you can use to how to install your Tab on the Page.
Did I mention the course is FREE?

I remember that she looked somewhat similar early last season and the skating also looked laboured; flash forward to Nationals and she was suddenly slimmer and fitter and performed a thousand times better, too. The jumps had more amplitude, she skated with more speed and freedom; everything just seemed so improved. I'm not normally body conscious when watching anyone on television, so for me to notice that Caroline appears to be out of shape for an elite athlete...well, I really do think that she must be.

Seventeen Shopping Insider: Jasmine's Must-Haves!
Demi certainly had the X Factor in this super-short, mega-feathered, tribal dress. Plus her structured, shoulder pads and leather pony holder set her apart as a fashionista not afraid to take a risk.
She even caught up with Seventeen's reporter on the red carpet to chat about co-hosting the show: "I'm so excited to host especially because I'm doing it with my childhood friend Kevin McHale. We can't stop laughing when we're around each other!"
No Doubt brought the crowd to their feet with their comeback performance after a decade-long hiatus, but it was Gwen's fashion statement that had us refusing to "Settle Down". Cat-eye shades, red lipstick, black skinny pants, and a leather vest? She's "Just a Girl" with a killer sense of style.

text: Greetings folks. I have a question for those of you experienced with package bees. I went out an checked several of my yards last weekend. Seems like the stress of the drought and hot weather took its toll on a lot of my colonies already. I am going to have to start many colonies over next spring. I usually start colonies with my own nucs, but I am afraid that I wont come out of winter with enough colonies to make up my losses, so I am going to be purchasing bees. I am going to replace the dead outs with packages. I know 3 pound packages are the best way to go, but since I am talking 40-50 packages, I want to save some cash. Since these will be going onto drawn comb, and I can probably pull a frame of brood from surviving colonies, would the 2 pound package suffice?

At first, all hope appeared lost for Payne after a Cowboys statement on Thursday claimed a knee injury had ruled the retiring hooker out for "the rest of the finals series".
But by the time the Cowboys arrived at Townsville Airport to fly out for Sydney, North Queensland revealed Payne could play again - if they made the grand final.
It brought an extra spring in the step of North Queensland, who were already buzzing from five straight wins.
"He's always a hope. He will be doing everything he can to get back into the side," Cowboys co-captain Matt Scott said.
"Fingers crossed for him. Hopefully his rehab goes well and he can get back."
Asked if it would motivate his side, Scott said: "Definitely.
"It will be great to have him around.
"If there is a chance I am sure the guys would want to play a bit better for him."
Cowboys coach Neil Henry said as long as there was a chance Payne could play again, their stalwart would continue his rehabilitation in Townsville.
"He is some chance in two weeks' time if we can keep winning and make the grand final but he won't be going down this weekend," he told Fox Sports TV.
"He will stay here and start rehabilitation and hopefully start some jogging next week."
Still, Scott could feel for Payne as the hooker contemplated an injury drawing the curtain on a 10-year NRL career while the Cowboys were on a finals roll.
"I can't imagine what he is feeling like at the moment," he said.
"To play 200-plus games and then miss out on his last finals series is devastating news."
Hundreds of fans - complete with a military marching band - did their best to lift the Cowboys' spirits when they gathered at Townsville Airport.
It brought back memories of 2005 when thousands of Townsville folk lined the streets to the airport as the Cowboys prepared to leave for their sole grand final appearance to date.
"It's a massive boost, especially for all the guys who haven't been around since 2005 when we last saw this sort of support," Scott said.
It also brought a smile to Henry who was an assistant coach when they fell at the final hurdle seven years ago.
"You dare to dream don't you? It's the Holy Grail," Henry said of another grand final.
"We went close in 2005 ...but we still didn't get the job done.
"The stars have to align a little bit and we have to play some good footy (to make the grand final) but there is a lot to look forward to."
The year 2005 also marked the last time the Cowboys beat Manly in Sydney, adding to North Queensland's appalling record in the Harbour City.
But an unperturbed Henry said: "I think it is going to take a good performance to beat us."

Diehl got beat once during the game and on another play his man blew past him wide and circled in in to get Eli. So in total you have just two plays to rag on Diehl. Two ****ing plays after that debacle is nothing.
The truth is, every pressure when Eli threw his picks or fumbled came from the left. More specifically it came from Kevin Boothe's man.
So all you divas ragging on Diehl owe him a big apology cause you obviously don't know jack.
Other than that, have a nice night.

I am wondering what people feel about learning from Near East and Asian beekeepers. It may sound strange, but I spent some time in Afghanistan and and Pakistan many years ago (before they became messy) with some local beekeepers. Learned some great rustic tricks. We rely a lot more on technology these days, but they don't so their advice is very interesting.
Wondering if anyone has traveled to see what tips and technology others around the world are using?

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I'm an obsessive compulsive quilter and batik aholic. I make only king size quilts.
I recently took a dessert to a Saturday quilt group. We were discussing another one and several people told me I couldn't come unless I brought it again, so I guess they loved it. I was also told I had to share the recipe. I usually cook everything from scratch but this is a quick cheater dish. I don't know what it is called but it is delicious. 2 can crescent rolls, 2 pkg cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla. Spread one can crescent roll in a 13x9 pan.(spray with Pam), mix cream cheese, sugar and valilla until creamy. Spread over crescent rolls. Put other can of rolls on top. Topping: 1 1/2 cups sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon mix together and spread over the top. Melt 1 stick of butter and pour ove top. Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes.
My poker buddies always request this.
If you want something really sinful try these. http://www.annies-eats.com/2011/09/0...ortbread-bars/. OMG are these good. If you can get Amish or Irish butter to make these they will be even better. Stir the caramel layer really good constantly or it will burn. If you don't have the fleur de sal kosher salt is a good substitute.
Kinda a pain to make but they are to die for.
Thanks for all the recipes and ideas....We rotate houses for an afternoon event, where the ladies can't wait to get to my buffet set up w coffee urn, ice cold min bottles of water, a teapot w steaming hot water for the sole hot tea officiando and everything is self serve and easy. Finally, I decided on tiramisu toffee dessert from http//www.com/allrecipes.com, fresh strawberries and cantaloupe. The gals raved about the dessert. Warning: it is rich but easy and easily modified.

Serves 6
200g Greek yoghurt and 200ml full-fat milk or 400ml of buttermilk (replacing both yoghurt and milk)
2 large stale Turkish flatbread or naan (250g in total)
3 large tomatoes (380g in total), cut into 1.5cm dice
100g radishes, thinly sliced
3 Lebanese or mini cucumbers (250g in total), peeled and chopped into 1.5cm dice
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
15g mint
25g flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
1 Tbs dried mint
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 Tbs lemon juice
60ml olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
2 Tbs cider or white wine vinegar
3/4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbs sumac or more, according to taste, to garnish
1 You could skip the fermentation stage and use buttermilk instead of the combination of milk and yoghurt.
2 If using yoghurt and milk, start at least three hours and up to a day in advance by placing both in a bowl. Whisk well and leave in a cool place or in the fridge until bubbles form on the surface. What you get is a kind of homemade buttermilk, but less sour.
3 Tear the bread into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl. Add your fermented yoghurt mixture or commercial buttermilk, followed by the rest of the ingredients, mix well and leave for 10 minutes for all the flavours to combine.
4 Spoon the fattoush into serving bowls, drizzle with some olive oil and garnish generously with sumac.

By Chris Harris
Emotional, special, amazing. Those three words summed up how Thierry Henry was feeling after receiving a rapturous reception from Arsenal's fans at Emirates Stadium last night.
The Barcelona striker started the UEFA Champions League Quarter-Final on the bench but entered the fray with 14 minutes left. Despite the intensity of the game - which Arsenal were losing 2-1 at the time - the home fans rose as one to hail their old hero as he replaced Zlatan Ibrahimovic. And the mutual love-in continued after the final whistle.
While his team-mates drifted off the pitch, Henry stood in the centre circle and applauded while the supporters chanted his name. As he left the stadium, the Frenchman reflected on a night to savour.
"It was very emotional," he said. "It was pretty special and obviously when I came on you heard what happened. The most special moment was at the end. Like we always do with the team at Barcelona, we went to see our fans and I said to myself that I have to clap the Arsenal fans for the welcome back they gave me. You saw what happened after that.
"I always said I have never hidden the love I have for the club and I think the fans showed tonight that they still love me. So it was a great feeling - amazing."
Those same fans raised the roof as Arsenal fought back from a 2-0 deficit to earn a draw with the European champions and stay in the tie. So was Henry surprised to see his old club dig so deep?
"Not at all, especially with the help of the fans," he said. "I have said it so many times, it always helps because sometimes you can be 2-0 down at home and if your fans start to boo you it's another story but the Arsenal fans were helping them and trying to help them come back in the game, and they did.
"On the other side it would have been better for us to come back with a win, but 2-2 is not a bad result. But I'm not surprised at all [that Arsenal came back], I know exactly what can happen here."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

49ers fans saying how amazing it is the made the Super Bowl without Manningham and Kyle WIlliams injuries . LOL the team started the same Defensive starters all season. I think 1 starter missed 1 game at the end of the season. The Nickel and Dime package guys played all 16 as well. What are they doing in SF to keep the team that healthy. Their worst injury was Manningham who missed 4 games , 4 frickin games.
Giants are really the better team. Giants had Eli manning and a good wr core at the time. The backs weren't bad and the tes were hot. I was suprised the game was close.
I guess I'm just tired of opponents back handed compliments and caveats attached to any reference to any Giants victory.
To me it's cut and dried.....the best team on the field is the one who makes one more play than the other team did and leaves the field with th "W"!
Unfortunately this is the same tune the Niners sing when they say they were the "better team". They tend to ignore the fact that their offense was garbage that day. But your right, it's no big deal because we all know Gore is full of it, but I don't agree that is "good" to think your team was the better team if you lose. When the Giants lose, I would hope they believe that they need to get better, not that they are already better.
Congratulations Niners for making it to the Super Bowl regardless.

You can buy these TV trays at Wal-Mart for about $5.00. You don't have to buy a whole set. The price could be a little higher now, as I got mine about 5 years ago.

Walmart has the trays for $8 now. Great idea. Thanks for sharing. I usually lower my ironing board next to me but I like the smaller footprint of the tray and it will be stronger than my wobbly ironing board.

Thanks, Ladies! I just ordered one from Wal-Mart and will pick it up tomorrow.

How would lives and landscapes change if every car had a computer in the driver's seat?
Brian Hayes
One aspect of car culture that would have been hard to foresee in 1911 is the extraordinary importance of parking. Although estimates vary, it seems there are two or three parking spaces for every car in the United States; think of it as one space at home, one at work, and a share of one at the mall. At just two spaces per car, this works out to 500 million spaces in all, covering a total area of at least 3,000 square miles. A suburban shopping mall dedicates more land area to parking than to retail space. In dense central cities, parking spaces become a crucial limiting resource; they are the throttle valve that determines how many cars can come downtown. A study by Donald Shoup and his colleagues at the University of California, Los Angeles, shows that 30 percent of the drivers in some business districts are driving in circles, searching for a parking place.
The solution suggested by the cybercar fantasy is automated valet parking: The car drops you off at the front door, then drives away to find a parking place on its own. When you're ready to leave, you call for the car and it comes to fetch you. In this scheme, the parking facility need not be within walking distance of your destination, so it can be moved out of the central business district. Likewise the suburban mall no longer has to be an island in a vast sea of asphalt. Another advantage of having cars park themselves is that they can squeeze together more tightly. (For one thing, there's no need to leave room for opening doors.)
All these strategies for making car trips more convenient and less tedious have to be seen as an inducement to ever-greater reliance on private vehicles. People will tolerate longer commutes if they can read or nap while in transit. They'll take the car to the city if they don't have to worry about where to park it. Thus a likely result of automotive automation is further diffusion of population over the landscape.
Another seemingly inevitable effect of more private vehicles is less public transit. However, all the advantages of computer-driven vehicles are also available to transit operators. Indeed, it's even possible that the distinction between public and private vehicles would blur a little. In a world where cars drive themselves and come to you when beckoned, there's not a lot of difference between calling for your own car and calling for a shared vehicle. For that matter, in a world where cars drive themselves and know their way around, there's not a lot of difference between a taxi and a rental car. Short-term rental programs such as Zipcar might thrive in this environment.
The effects that driverless technology would have on energy consumption and carbon-dioxide emissions are hard to gauge. Given the same basic engine and vehicle, replacing a human driver with a computer ought to improve fuel economy. Platoons of closely spaced cars traveling together also save fuel through aerodynamic efficiency, although the effect may be small except at NASCAR speed. More important is the ability of cooperative scheduling and traffic management to avoid needless braking and acceleration. All of these factors are encouraging, but if the technology leads to more trips and longer trips, gains could turn to losses. And then there's the issue of all those empty ghost cars shuttling back and forth to remote parking lots or running errands on behalf of their owners. The average occupancy of vehicles on the road could fall below one person.
