MOB drowning experience
Hi everyone,
Last summer, while sailing in the mediterranean, I had the tragic experience of seeing a man drown in front of me without me being able to save his life. I wanted to share the story and the lessons it taught me (albeit at a very high price - that poor man's life).
At that point, I had little sailing experience, so I chartered a 45-foot sailboat with 6 friends and a skipper. We were sailing on a 2-3 foot chop close to the coast, when my skipper pointed out (way out in the horizon) an inflatable that launched itself high up after hitting a wave. The skipper didn't consider this alarming in itself, and I couldn't really see anything. 5-30 minutes later we got near the same position as the inflatable was (time is approximate because the shock blurred my memory a bit). My skipper saw the inflatable adrift, and a person in the water. From the distance, he thought he was a harpoon fisherman (very common in those waters). As we got closer, we saw a man screaming at us - maybe 200 yards from us. We immediately started the engine, headed up so I could drop the sails, and motored closer to the man. By the time I looked again, I was frightened to see the man lying face down in the water. The time in between must have been 1-5 minutes.
Me and 2 women from my party jumped into the water with the buoy in hand and swam towards the victim - about 10-20 yards from the boat. We had no PFDs on, but were all pretty good swimmers, and the waters were warm. We managed to place the man's head over the buoy; I still remember the terror of seeing his head fall back into the water. By that point the man's face was red. We somehow carried him over to the transom, most of the time with his head above water.
Once at the transom, the skipper tied a loop on a line and we helped put it around the victim's body under his armpits. There were 3 of us in the water and 4 people trying to lift him from the deck. I put my knee under his crotch and my foot on one of the rungs of the swim ladder, trying to get some foothold to push him upwards. It was still a miracle that we were able to hoist him to the deck.
By that point I was in mild shock - I went to the head to vomit, and when I came back to the cockpit, I saw my friend holding the victim (face still red) sideways to help him get some of the water out of his lungs. My wife and I had taken CPR lessons in the NYC Red Cross, but they never mention to you what to do if the person's lungs are full of water. I later found out (doublecheck this) that mouth-to-mouth works even in these cases - but at the point I specifically told my wife not to do it, erroneously thinking that it would push the water further into the lungs.
From the point we picked him up in the water, the man was occasionally making some light wheezing sounds. I wasn't sure if these were attempts to speak or just the sounds of air coming out of his lungs. It sounded like the former though, and I took that as a sign that we had rescued the guy, albeit barely.
The man did one thing right - he probably had the engine kill switch (or whatever it's called) attached to him. But he should have been wearing a PFD and not using his dinghy like a waverunner.
The next day we went to the coast guard to testify. Essentially, his report concluded that the man must have fallen into the water and hit his head, which made him dizzy. The chief said that if he had been unconscious, he'd be floating facing up & breathing close to normal. It sounds hard to believe but the CG guy does these things for a living, so we can lend some credence to that. I was particularly sad that this man was only 48 or so and had 2 kids. Sorry - all this does not add to the seamanship dimension, but I couldn't help mentioning it.
Lessons learnt:
a) If a MOB is conscious alive now, he may not be so one minute afterwards. This sounds laughably obvious, but I spent 2 months of my life every year swimming and playing around the sea, and I was conditioned to seeing people in the water frolicking and having fun - not drowning. My natural reaction to seeing the MOB was "OK good - we spotted the guy - now he can wait for a minute for us to go get him". I still remember the shivers I got when my skipper yelled "we lost him".
b) Always have the halyard flaked so it's easy to drop if needed. Fortunately this wasn't a problem in this case.
c) We did not use a lifesling (the boat had a horseshoe buoy though). The greatest advantage in cold waters is being able to retrieve a person without having someone else jump in. In our case, as the person was unconscious, it would have helped with the hoisting. The victim was obese (probably over 250 lbs) and was impossible to drag up the transom (see above)
d) Lifesling MOB retrieval without the engine is taught with religious fervor over here (for good reason), but I think that, in this case, using the engine is practical if the skipper is watching carefully, the seas are reasonably calm, and getting to within 10 yards of the victim is sufficient. Obviously, the propeller can pose a danger, but your brain may not be functional enough at that point to do the quick-stop maneuver or whatever while you see a body face down in the water. Platitude alert: practice your LifeSling!
e) In retrospect, we should have had PFDs handy and should have jumped with the PFDs on. Perhaps the man would gain conscience and start pushing us down into the water in his panic - you never know.
f) I'm a rational person with military experience and everything, but I still almost lost the ability to help with the rescue once I got back on the boat. It was partly the shock and partly the extreme physical effort I exerted while trying to push the victim up the transom. Not sure if this translates to a lesson, but keep this in mind.
I hope this very unpleasant experience may be at least be educational to others.
(keywords to make this searchable: MOB man overboard lifesling victim rescue drown drowned drowning victim)
Always having a halyard flaked is irresponsible on a sailboat. The halyard should be neatly coiled and easily released so sails can be lowered, but leaving the halyard flaked is a tripping hazard and the line can easily tangle as the boat heels from side to side and the crew moves about the boat. I hope you can understand why I say this.
Jumping into the water to help effect a MOB rescue is generally unwise at best. Often it results in having to rescue multiple people, instead of just the one to begin with. In the case of an unconscious individual, it is generally unavoidable though. Jumping in and not wearing a PFD is just foolish IMHO.
The LifeSling is an excellent tool, but it, like any other tool, needs to be practiced with in order to become proficient with it. The block and tackle suggested by LifeSling is a two-to-one and completely insufficient IMHO. A four-to-one or six-to-one block makes it much more reasonable when trying to haul a 200+ lb. person, who may be wearing clothes that add another 30+ lbs. of weight due to water absorption.
Whenever I go out sailing, I tend to sail as if I am sailing singlehanded, at least with respect to the safety measures I take, if I know that the people sailing with me are not capable of doing a proper MOB recovery. Many crew, while excellent as crew, are not capable of doing a MOB recovery without instruction.
Practice helps, but nothing beats experience boat handling and sailing in the end. Most MOB drills are not done under the panicked circumstances, and bad conditions of the usual MOB accident. When was the last time you did a MOB drill...and what conditions was it under?
Also, most MOB drills do not simulate the difficulty of spotting a man in the water. To get an idea of how hard a man in the water, not wearing a brightly colored-PFD or foul weather gear is to spot, try tossing a coconut overboard. A coconut is about the size of a man's head, and floats about as high. Look to see how quickly you lose sight of it in even a small amount of chop. You'll be rudely surprised.
MOB experience
Usually charter boats do have a halyard ready to be used on deck. It is the spinnaker halyard often serving to fix the dinghy. Your name (Iraklis = Hercules) suggests that you were sailing in Greece and I assume that the boat carried no spinnaker (as most charter boats do, since in Greece you either have too much wind and hence you are unable to hoist a spinnaker or too little and your direction is somehow to windward) and your inflatable covered the front cabin hatch. Anyway, wouldn't it be easier to haul the victim out of the water from the stern? Shouldn't your skipper know how to quickly resuscitate the victim and not rely on the crew's first aid skills?
I understand that it is easier to pose questions while at rest in front of your PC screen than to react swiftly and appropriately during a real emergency, but your description of the tragic event gave me the impression of panic and aw among the crew, skipper included.
sailingdog - I agree 100% with what you're saying, but I can't say this about the halyard. We kept the halyard on an untrafficed corner of the cabin floor instead of on the sole, so this wan't as much of a tripping hazard.
Jumping in without a PFD was indeed foolish, which is the reason why I pointed it out :-)
chrondi - very good on the Iraklis = Hercules part! I was trying to avoid saying it was in Greece because then I'd have to admit that the skipper did not have first aid skills and sully some reputations - although he did otherwise handle the situation well and was in control. I was the one with the mild panic. We did try to haul the victim from the stern though, using the incline of the transom.
Anyway, all of these are good points. I wanted to illustrate a real-life situation to point out all these deficiencies.
A properly coiled halyard is far less likely to get tangled or fouled, and is just as quick to deploy. Leaving it flaked, even in a "untrafficked corner" of the cockpit, is still riskier IMHO.
Properly coiled halyards in my book are stowed in a locker or on a cleat, pin or winch, so they do not fall overboard.
Water is not commonly found in the lungs of drowning victims.
Even if it were, you have got to get oxygen into the victim's blood and get it circulating or it's game over.
I was not there and not under the dreadful tensions you had to face.
I would have called Olympia Radio with pan for med assistance-instructions over VHF.(Olympia Radio=Hellas Radio Ch16). Just for your info it is mandatory from now on for Coastal Transport Ships in Greece to have a doctor on board. Usually there is one arround.
Anyway very sory for your experience. Neither his nor your life is in your hands.
MOB - is a MAYDAY situation.
As I remember MOB (COB as is used today) is considered a MAYDAY, especially in the latter stages of this situation.

- Cinnamon & Sugar – the perfect combination of spice and sweetness makes these chips hard to resist
- Garlic & Herb – a classic flavor profile blends perfectly with the crunch of a classic bagel chip
- Simply Sea Salt – sea salt crystals sprinkled by hand give just the right amount of irresistible flavor to lightly baked chips.
STRATFORD, Conn., April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- El's Kitchen introduces its new line of Snaps® Gluten Free Bagel Chips, building on the success of its Medleys™ Snack Mixes. These are the snacks that have been missing from store shelves – packed with flavor and with the texture of true bagel chips, you'd never know they're gluten-free. Snaps were developed originally as a component of El's Medleys Snack Mix, but consumer feedback indicated that the bagel chips could stand on their own merit in the burgeoning gluten-free market, and Snaps are the result. "The aim in developing our snacks was to reduce the confusion the consumer faces when shopping the gluten-free aisle. There are many gluten free products that aren't necessarily healthy. We're proud to introduce a gluten-free treat that's not only low in calories and fat," observes CEO Eleanor Smith, "but one which is free of the top eight allergens, without losing any of the qualities that the consumer is looking for in a great snack." El's existing gluten-free Medleys Snack Mixes, Cheddar, Zesty Original and Sour Cream & Onion are now joined by the three varieties of Snaps Bagel Chips:

"I know Peter has been thinking about the future for quite a long while now. And so the field's open to Peter, and that's entirely his choice," Senator Brown said. Democrats leader and music fan Senator Andrew Bartlett said he always thought it was "a shame that he was not able to run for us before and felt the need to run against us in his Nuclear Disarmament days".
A spokesman for Opposition Leader Simon Crean, who was seen having coffee with Garrett at an Albert Park cafe several months ago, said: "If he made the decision to join the Labor Party we would be delighted."
Garrett himself was not talking yesterday. In a website message to fans, he said: "The last 25 years have been incredibly fulfilling for me, and I leave the band with the greatest respect for the whole of Midnight Oil . . . It is time for me to move on and immerse myself in those things which are a deep concern to me and which I have been unable to fully apply myself up until now".
Those concerns could, of course, revolve around environmental or Aboriginal issues, which have featured strongly in his life both in and out of Midnight Oil.
He took aim at foreign policy on songs such as US Forces and Hercules, and after touring outback settlements with Aboriginal rock group the Warumpi Band, responded with the album Beds are Burning.
The band continues to sell out blistering live shows around the world, although Garrett is believed to have spoken privately about wanting to spend more time with his family since the band's arduous tour of North America and Canada last year.
His former band members, meanwhile, said they were planning to continue making music together "in another guise at some point down the track".

Kardashian Nanny Says Family Always Kept Up 'With The Joneses'
Behan nannied for Bruce Jenner's kids for two-and-a-half years before moving on to the Kardashian kids for five. She appears smitty-kitty with Mr. Olympian and wasn't so sweet on Kris Jenner (what a surprise). However, judging from the excerpts, Jenner was apparently very generous to Behan while she was an employee.
Since we spent a great deal of time together, Bruce and I became close friends. We talked about everything from our childhoods and families to the Olympics and his career. We shared a love of sports, cars and classic music. Our favorite song was "Madonna's Like a Prayer, which we would sing at the top of our voice whenever it came on the radio.
Ok, so you guys were buds?
My friendship with Bruce was always one hundred percent completely platonic. I never kissed him. I did not have sex with him, nor did I harbor a secret love for him. There was never anything inappropriate between us, but we shared many thoughtful and deep conversations, and intimate details about our lives. Honestly, he was like a big brother to me, and I came to depend on his presence in my life. Bruce had become one of my closest friends.
And then there's Kris Jenner
I was about the same size as Kris, and I got a lot of hand me downs from her, which was incredibly generous, but not a very realistic wardrobe for a nanny, who spends her time in the car pool lane, at the grocery store, and sitting in a classroom on a college campus. Where on earth am I going to wear a red leather dress? I inherited two of those leather dresses – a black one as well. After hanging in my closet for years, I sold them at a yard sale for fifty bucks each. I kid you not, two women literally got in a fistfight over those dresses.
From my nanny's salary and waiting tables at Gladstone's I was paying my tuition at Pepperdine, without my parents' help or taking out any loans. There were a few times that I didn't have enough cash for my tuition payment. Kris actually wrote my tuition check to Pepperdine, and then took it out of my future salary. That was kind and generous, and very much appreciated, not to mention trusting (that I would stick around and pay it off).
One of my sweetest memories of Kris was at my senior recital at Pepperdine. My mom and dad couldn't make the trip out, so Kris made it a point to be there. When I dedicated "Music Box Dancer" to my mom, I noticed Kris was in tears as she watched me play
That's really sweet, Behan. So why must you bite the hand that fed you leather and checks?

Glenhaven Farm Winery is located near the small village of Trumansburg in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The graceful 19th-century Italianate farmhouse symbolizes the quietude and gentility of a bygone era. Today, when you visit the farm you can enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings while picking our delicious blueberries. Or you can sample our wines made from a variety of fruits and vinefera grapes in our rustic tasting room with its antique ambience. You can taste and purchase our wines at the farm during the fresh blueberry season, or you can visit us at the Ithaca Farmers Market on weekends from April through early November.
Peak season operating hours
Monday - Friday 8 am to 7 pm
Saturday & Sunday 8 am to 5 pm
Crop conditions may require us to adjust our hours later in the season.
6121 Sirrine Road
Trumansburg, New York 14886
Glenhaven Farm offers eleven acres of you-pick blueberries. The length and time of the season varies depending on weather conditions. The season begins in late July and in a good year extends through late August. Our farm features:
Two varieties of blueberries, predominately Blue Crop, a mid-season variety known for its excellent size and flavor
A one-acre patch of blueberries located near a parking area, for customers who cannot make the trip to our back field
A picturesque 10-acre field, at the end of a scenic drive up the hill, past an old stone barn foundation
Very well-maintained fields, often noted by our customers
Family-friendly environment, where multiple generations continue the tradition of berry picking
Not only do blueberries possess culinary versatility, but they are also very good for your health. Recent studies show that blueberries are very high in antioxidants. Although studies are as yet inconclusive, antioxidants appear to play a role in preventing cancer, heart disease, and the aging process.
Open seven days a week during the season. See operating hours.
In the spring of 1979, with the help of friends and neighbors, we planted our first acre of blueberries on our 50-acre farm in the town of Hector in central New York. We added more plants each year for the following three seasons, ending up with about six thousand plants in total. By the late eighties, our season had begun to extend for several weeks, and customers began to arrive from as far away as Pennsylvania to pick our blueberries. As the new century dawned we began to consider adding new products to offer our growing customer base and decide to start making wines from estate-grown fruit.
In 2003 we converted an old carriage house on the farm to a tasting room and began selling wines during the you-pick blueberry season. Because we began our business selling blueberries, an important goal has been to produce the best blueberry wine in the Finger Lakes region.
Today, we are Glenhaven Farm Winery--a graceful farm in the New York Finger Lakes Region known for our "you pick" blueberries and wonderful, small batch wines. We have been one of the first to embrace local first, producing our delicious fruit for over thirty years. We celebrate that spirit of simpler times here at the farm, at the Ithaca Farmers Market and as proud Trumansburg community members.
Enjoy the peaceful pace of summer while berry picking, or while tasting wines made from a variety of fruits, from grapes to our signature berry wines— Blueberry, Black Currant, Raspberry and Blackberry. You can taste and purchase our wines at the farm during the fresh blueberry season, or you can visit us at the Ithaca Farmers Market on the weekends from April through early November.
Summer has never tasted better.

Houston: Indian-American NASA astronaut Sunita Williams and her Japanese counterpart Akihiko Hoshide have successfully restored power to the International Space Station on their second attempt.
With this Spacewalk, Williams surpassed Peggy Whitson's record during yesterday's excursion for total cumulative spacewalk time by a female astronaut.
Whitson worked outside for 39 hours and 46 minutes over the course of six spacewalks. Williams has conducted six spacewalks for a total of 44 hours and 2 minutes. Peggy Whitson, sent up congratulations: "You go, girl!" Williams replied: "Anybody could be in these boots."
The astronauts had to go into space for the second time in less than a week. The spacewalk lasted 6 hours 28 minutes.
Williams and Hoshide have finally completed repairs on the main power unit switching mechanism, the repairing of which ran into problems earlier this week.
As a result of the faults in the system, the astronauts had to save energy by turning off part of the solar cells and de-energised some compartments of the station.
This was the second attempt to correct the problem.
Earlier, last Thursday, Williams and Hoside were in space for more than eight hours, but failed to fix the unit and attach it correctly to the ISS.

Usually, when a political reporter uses the term "pragmatist," it sounds like a synonym for "centrist," for making the best bipartisan deal you can. So it's a little jarring to pick up the Sunday Washington Post and see a first-year assessment of President Obama headlined "Testing the promise of pragmatism." But Obama dramatically expanded the scope and power of government, and that's not centrist. Even the Post home page's lingo sounds confused:
Voters doubting 'a more pragmatic approach'
Obama is trying to restore confidence in government while proposing the most significant expansion of Washington's role in the economy in a generation.
This headline downplayed the bad polling news the last ABC-WashPost survey uncovered. By 58 to 38 percent, survey respondents said they preferred smaller government and less services to bigger and more. That's gone from +5 to +20 for smaller government since June 2008.
The poll question illustrated on the front page showed that 76 percent thought Obama "will bring needed change to Washington" in January 2008, but now it's only 50 percent say he will, and 49 percent say he will not.
The polls on his approval rating are much more disappointing for liberals inside on page A-8. His approval rating is down 18 percent among independents, down 18 percent among white people, down 14 points among voters 18-29 and down 14 among voters 65-plus.
Reporter Dan Balz wrote that "Obama begins his second year having failed to ease political polarization." That's putting it mildly. Hasn't Obama been strongly partisan, and the Democratic leaders like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi even stronger? He could have written "Obama begins his second year with his party leaders attacking Republicans as akin to slavery advocates and Aryan-power racists."
Balz quotes Princeton political professor Nolan McCarty saying for Obama, "the biggest mistake was not finding an issue that was analogous to Clinton's decision to work with Republicans on something like welfare reform."
This is simply untrue in its implication. Clinton did not substantively address welfare reform in his first year, devoting it instead to tax hikes, "stimulus" proposals, and health-care "reform" – an agenda quite similar to Obama's (except maybe the NAFTA free-trade agreement). Clinton didn't sign a welfare-reform bill until August 22, 1996, right before the fall re-election campaign.

dictatorship of the drug industry
Drug Companies and Government Conspire to Evade Vivisection Regulations
Democracy, as most of us would understand it, means Government by the people.
The Electorate votes for parties on the basis of the policies they say they will implement, such as the animal research policies that Labour promised [copies of these available from Uncaged]. In a democratic society, those promised policies that the public has endorsed through its choice of a governing party are then implemented.
This is the essential core of democracy - Government represents the will of the people.
Lord Sainsbury chaired the working group that discussed how to weaken vivisection regulations (Section V - Science Base and Biopharmaceuticals). Just one of the astonishing things about this clique of industrialists and politicians is that it has made unilateral decisions on areas of policy that are the responsibility of other bodies such as the Home Office and the Animal Procedures Committee. Despite the implications for animal experiments, animal protection groups were systematically excluded from even participating in these discussions. It is this Task Force, and the working group chaired by Lord Sainsbury, which is responsible for subverting Government policy on animal experimentation.
Throughout the PICTF discussion of animal experimentation regulation, it is presumed that the regulatory framework is nothing more than a process for simply granting licences rather than a process that actually scrutinises whether licences should be granted or not, as the law stipulates. Thus both the drug industry and the Government have inadvertently confirmed what anti-vivisectionists have been saying for years: the laws are systematically ignored, and the regulatory process is a rubber-stamping process, rather than the stringent, objective or rigorous process the public is lead to believe.
The "increasing complexity" that the drug companies complain of refers to the Labour pledges and policies to:
Blocking progress
None of these measures address what we believe to be the fundamental moral and scientific imperative for the abolition of vivisection. But what they did represent was the potential for a gradual increase in the level of consideration given to the interests of animals when licences to vivisect were being considered. After all, the core element of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 is the cost/benefit assessment (Section 5(4)), which requires the harms that animals will suffer from an experiment to be weighed against the supposed benefit that would accrue to humans from the research.
More animal suffering
The Report claims that "streamlining licencing procedures" will lead to improvements in animal welfare. This is dishonest propaganda which insults the intelligence of the reader: there is no attempt to explain quite how such improvements would be achieved. In fact, by railing against even the tiniest improvements in the regulation of animal experiments, the drug industry in collaboration with the Government has:
The PICTF also recommended that the ABPI should be consulted whenever any Government policy that might affect the interests of the drug industry, such as vivisection policy, was being considered - a so-called "no surprises" policy (para 9.7).
Another agreed action plan (no. 50, Appendix 1) was for the drug industry to see how it could dismantle animal welfare regulations blocking the establishment of "whole animal pharmacology course in the UK."
Tony Blair wrote the Foreword to the PICTF report (see above). He stated:
The unparalleled access to and influence over political power enjoyed by unelected, unaccountable drug company executives is a chilling example of how democracy is being destroyed by corporate power. The PICTF aimed to pervert policy in a number of important areas in addition to animal testing, such as the way in which the NHS buys drugs, the structure of education, clinical research, and the assessment of the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. Not only will animal testing policy be dictated by the drug industry, but health, education and economic policy are also formulated in the corporate interest rather than the public interest. We don't remember Labour promising that before the last election.

Sr. Vice President Physical Sciences Research
Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies
Papers and Presentations, Mathematics and Science Initiative
Bridging Formal and Informal Science Learning – how can industry help?
The US economy today is based more on high tech business than ever before in history. Continued growth of our technology industry and economic base will require an increased focus on science and math education to create a larger US skilled science and technology workforce as well as a technically literate population as a whole. We live in the "Information Age": large high tech firms based in the US are global companies, who will hire their technology workforce and locate their R&D centers in countries where there are excellent resources at the lowest cost to the corporation. The most important resource for corporations is a large and increasing pool of skilled scientists and engineers at the masters and PhD level. Unless we maintain the excellence of our science and engineering education for US K-16 students, maintain the caliber of our graduate education in the sciences and increase the pipeline of American students into our graduate schools, we will see an increased outsourcing overseas of not only manufacturing jobs, but also development and then research jobs. High tech firms can help increase interest in going into science and technology careers by sponsoring formal hands-on science learning and teacher training - but equally important, encouraging their scientist and engineer employees to participate in informal science learning experiences near their R&D centers.
Despite the turmoil in the telecommunications industry over the last three years, Lucent Technologies has continued to support science and math education and teacher development programs. The Lucent Foundation spends 65% of its budget on education programs in the local communities near major Lucent locations. ( Roughly half of this is for K-12 and about 12% is outside of the US.)
Over and above Lucent Foundation's grants to programs, Bell Labs researchers volunteer their time as mentors to students and teachers from the junior high school level to graduate school, often in conjunction with programs that the Foundation sponsors. Bell Labs hosts and pays the salaries of student interns and local high school science teachers who come to work on research projects usually for 10-12 weeks during the summer. Bell Labs scientists also serve as hosts for visits of school groups to see what research scientists in industry actually do.
Generally, we find the most successful programs that bridge formal and informal science learning have one or more of the following features:
- Students and or teachers have the ability to work directly with a practicing scientist or engineer with a background in science who serves as mentor.
- The mentor relationship is over an extended period so that an informal and friendly relationship can develop, for example throughout the year or even throughout graduate school and beyond.
- Students conduct research alongside real scientists, teachers and mentors who are similar to themselves ( background, race, gender, ethnicity. )
- Students have fun learning and doing science, math and computers and the activities they do are relevant to the real world.
- Students get to be the expert and present their findings.
- Students get to take science and engineering field trips where they can see science and math in action, do an experiment, or learn about a field or career.
- Opportunities are provided for parents to learn about their child's science and math education.
Some examples of programs that have been judged successful by participants, the Lucent Foundation and outside evaluation firms over the years:
K- 16 Programs
- National Science Resource Center - reform of formal science learning in the classroom combined with informal scientist mentors to teachers and school districts.
Since 1999, Lucent has supported the Smithsonian Insititution/National Academies National Science Resource Center's LASER initiative, a non-profit – school district partnership in science education reform at the elementary through junior high school level. A Lucent executive ( me ) sits on the NSRC Advisory Board, along with representatives of six other major high tech corporations, universities, science museums and nonprofits. The NSRC's mission is to catalyze systemic science education reform by developing, collecting and disseminating effective hands-on science teaching resources and to develop informed leaders and work with individual districts to spearhead local, regional and state education reform. This program was recently lauded by Koffi Annan in the Feb. 13, 2004 issue of Science Magazine as a model in science education reform. We have supported efforts in 9 local school districts throughout the US. Each of these districts has benefited from local volunteer Bell Labs mentors. The districts liked interacting with the mentors so much that the Plainfield, NJ school district – an inner city school district - hired a PhD retiree to be a mentor to several teachers full-time in the classroom.
- Young Science Achievers Program - supplementing the formal science program in local inner city high schools with extracurricular science projects and a Bell Labs scientist as mentor.
- Youth Science Initiative – sponsoring science clubs at science museums and other informal learning outside the classroom
- Global Science Scholars Program – a program that recognizes and rewards high school seniors across the world for outstanding achievements in math and science
- The award-winning Bell Labs Fellowship program, first started over 30 years ago when Bell Labs was part of AT&T is a merger of two former programs, the Cooperative Research Fellowship Program ( started in 1972 ) for underrepresented minorities and the Graduate Research Fellowship Program for Women ( started in 1974). The program is designed to increase the number of US citizen or permanent resident women and underrepresented minorities in science, math, engineering and technology. It is directed to graduating college seniors entering a PhD program in these fields. It is a highly selective fellowship competitive in money with other major graduate fellowships, but includes a Bell Labs scientist mentor in the same field who hosts the student at Bell Labs for at least one summer and follows her or him through their graduate career and beyond, often acting as an academic advisor and a safety net to the student navigating through graduate school. Upon AT&T's trivestiture in 1996, the majority of Bell Labs went with Lucent and a portion was retained as AT&T labs. The Graduate Fellows Program has been so successful that it was split between AT&T and Lucent and continues in both companies today. The programs in AT&T and Lucent together have awarded over 500 fellowships or awards since 1972. The PhD completion rate for the years 1972-1995 is 74%, with at least 86% completing a masters degree. Approximately 30% of the graduates have gone on to become professors, deans and administrators at nearly 70 US universities, some are founders of companies, while others hold executive positions in industry. Lucent and AT&T have held alumni reunions, including a joint 30 year anniversary celebration.
Now in its 16th year, the young science achievers program is designed to encourage, assist and mentor traditionally under-represented high school students throughout New Jersey and parts of New York, especially targeted at inner city schools. Each of more than 100 students per year get a mentor and up to $1000 to perform a science project, either of their own choosing, or a project suggested on the program website. The program runs from January to June, when there is an awards banquet to showcase the projects, with the best three receiving awards. Mentors often also invite the students and their teachers to Bell Labs to talk about their research or make a connection between the student's project and innovations at Bell Labs. This program is jointly run with various AT&T spin off companies after the Trivestiture.
In the late 1990's Lucent Foundation sponsored the Youth Science Initiative with a broad goal of supporting the development of participating youth ages 11-18 years so that they can become productive, effective and engaged citizens with an interest in science and technology. The informal learning experiences supported were planetariums, aquariums, science museums, botanical gardens, parks, after school enrichment programs and community centers. The RFP required providing recruiting students with a strong interest in science, developing a positive peer group environment through collaborative opportunities, involving middle and high school teachers, opportunities for students to communicate with other participants at different sites, use technology, and present their work to others. The RFP also required an evaluation component, and successful applicants could obtain up to $150,000 /year for up to three years for support. Of the 75 proposals received, Lucent funded 16, from such diverse organizations as the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, the National Aquarium in Baltimore and the China Science and Technology Center in Beijing. Based on the results of an outside assessment firm's surveys of 185 student participants from all of the sites, students rated the programs as '4' or slightly above on a scale of 1-5, ( where 5 is strongly agree ) on the following questions: I am better at presenting scientific information to others; my leadership skills have improved; my knowledge of science and technology has increased; my confidence in science and technology has increased; and my work habits have improved.
The Global Science Scholars Program was established by Lucent Technologies in 1999 to provide an incentive to students around the world to direct their careers towards communications technology. Winners of the Global Science Scholars Competition receive a one-time award of $US 5,000, are invited to the Global Science Summit, which is an opportunity to visit Lucent Headquarters and Bell Labs in New Jersey. During their week long stay at Bell Labs students learn about the latest advances in communications technology from researchers, work with researchers in their labs, meet Nobel prize winners, and work on a team project with other Scholars which they then present to each other. The Summit is sponsored and hosted by the Lucent Technologies Foundation and provides - along with the science schedule - times to relax, picnics and evening entertainment, including a Scholar talent show. A year after the Summit, where an appropriate placement can be found Scholars are offered internships at Bell Labs or a Lucent facility within their home country.

Con Edison has submitted plans to state regulators to spend $1 billion reinforcing electrical infrastructure. But a noted scientist who studies the effects of climate change on infrastructure says the utility's proposals would leave New York exposed to future storms.
Columbia University's Klaus Jacob says Con Ed's plan is "designing to Sandy," and completely ignores research suggesting sea levels will rise 7 to 12 inches by the 2050s.
Jacob wrote a report on Con Ed's plan at the request of the state attorney general, Eric Schneiderman.
In a statement to WNYC, Con Ed says it expects its storm-hardening program "to evolve for many years."

Clarification: Klaus Jacob is a seismologist by training. An earlier version of this story identified him as a climate scientist.

text: Hi All, My truck has been running a little odd recently. It started about two months ago it would randomly bog down while driving, rev'ing it up would get rid of the 'stutter'. Then about a month ago it got worse and pressing on the gas peddle wouldn't help. It would just die and then I could usually get it started back up. Finally it died once and I couldn't get it started. Diagnosed it as the fuel pump which was changed two weeks ago. It ran very well (better than it had for a while) for a week. Then a week ago it started to do the same thing as before (I think coincidentally right after hooking the tail lights back up) , except it was worse than before. Next tried the Plugs & Plug Wires nothing new. After that changed the Distributor Cap and Rotor. Then changed the fuel pump again (dead out of the box...) took it back to Oreily's thinking its not the fuel pump so put the newer-old pump back in. was running just like before. Then changed the Fuel Pressure Regulator. Ran fine for quite a while, better than fine to be honest. Then, we put the bed back on, and the damn thing quit working again. It idles well then put it in gear and bogs down. One thing I forgot to mention, after it dies it has trouble starting; pressing on the brakes and/or turning the lights on will increase the likelihood of it bogging down. I have no clue, and no one I know can think of any thing. We think it's fuel system related not ignition related but as I said we're all at a loss. We checked the vacuum booster and don't think it's the fuel injectors. Thanks to anyone who can think of anything we missed, Zack

Hormone Support
Through phospholipids such as omega-3 or omega-6 in the membrane of the cell, the hormones transfer important messages to the nucleus of the cell where the DNA produces the proteins and enzymes needed to carry out the brain's desires. With age, as metabolism slows, can come a loss of effective function, which in turn can lead to a multitude of problems associated with aging. By proactively supporting metabolic and hormonal processes you can maintain youthful activity within your body.

I guess I really shouldn't be surprised should I? Gateway Pundit caught this "gem" if you can call it that of the Seattle Black Foot Soldiers group which happens to be a black muslim group based in obviously Seattle calling cop killer Maurice Clemmons "Brother & Martyr". There full statement is this:
"For Many Are Called But Few Are Chosen." BOW Martyr Against White Terrorist & Racist Police Regime (Maurice Clemmons) Adorned With Virgins, Jewelry & Crowned; "When the Battle is Over, We Shall Wear a Crown." – Seattle Black Foot Soldiers
But thats not all, The so called black muslim group the Seattle Black Foot Soldiers also held a rally today outside of the Steele Street Forza Coffee House. According to The Last Crusade
"Who is your favorite officer down?" Seattle Black Foot Soldier Alfred "Issaquah" Shafford asked a rally to celebrate (what's being called) "the blow against the white terrorist racism of the Washington State Police Regime"
AND! If all of this doesn't anger you enough, it turns out that the Last Crusade (linked above) has learned from an Arkansas law enforcement official, became a member of the Nation of Islam while serving time in the Cummins Prison.

Team Registration on the Day
At the ASB Sports Centre (Premier/Division 1, Prem Reserve, Seniors & Collegiate 1-4 grades):
On arrival at the ASB Sports Centre head in the main doors and turn left past the main Sports Centre Reception Desk towards the Sports Control Desk. The Sports Control Desk will act as the traditional Games Office whereby you can approach the desk to tell the Competition Supervisors that you wish to register your team. Please provide your team's name and what time the team is due to play. The Competition Supervisors will then mark your team as present and let you know which court you are playing on. Where necessary, you may be asked to fill out the back of the official score sheet with the names of your team members. Please come prepared to write down both the full first and last name for all team members who intend to take the court on the day. If playing in a round that is self-umpired and your opposition has already registered before your team, you will be required to take the card to the court allocated to your game. There needs to be a minimum of 5 players present to be able to start your game.
At the Hataitai Netball Courts (Collegiate Grades 5 - 8):
On arrival at the Hataitai courts go to the Games Office situated on the ground floor of the Pavilion. Inside the building you will find a registration window called the Games Office (located opposite the entry to the Toilets and beside the First Aid Room). At the window, let the Competition Supervisors know that you would like to register your team and provide the team name and what time your team is due to play. The Competition Supervisors will then tick off your team as having registered. Where necessary, you may be asked to fill out the back of the official score sheet with the names of your team members. Please be prepared to write down both the full first and last name for all team members who intend to take the court on the day. If playing in a round that is self-umpired and your opposition team has already registered, you will be required to take the card to the court allocated to your game. There needs to be a minimum of 5 players present to be able to start your game.
There will be 2 umpires required at every game. For the self-umpired rounds, these will usually be one representative from your team and one from the opposition. If you are allocated by the Games Office to a game, you must report to the Games Office for umpire duty IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING YOUR GAME whether you are rostered on or listed as a Reserve Umpire. The umpires are responsible for completing a pre-game jewellery check. Players are not to wear jewellery of any kind - no plasters are permitted other than a taped wedding band. A medic alert bracelet/necklace is also permitted but must be taped to the body. Also check that fingernails are short and smooth, no chewing gum and that all players are wearing the same uniform registered to their team. A scorer must be provided by the teams. Umpires do not change ends at the end of the quarters - the teams do. At the end of the game it is the umpires responsibility to return the match card to the office.
Contact the Games Coordinator Peter McDonald as soon as possible in writing via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Default notifications received prior to 12.00 noon on the Friday before the scheduled game incur the following fines (at the discretion of the Games Coordinator):
* Premier, Division 1, Premier Reserve and Senior teams: $100.00 PLUS the loss of two championship points
* Collegiate teams: $40.00 PLUS the loss of two championship points
A late default fine will be incurred for defaulting after 12.00 noon on the Friday prior to the scheduled game. If the fine is not paid within two weeks of the late default, the team will be withdrawn until payment is made. A late default (notified after 12.00 noon on the Friday before the scheduled game or a no-show on the day) incurs the following fines which must be paid before the next playing day:
* Premier, Premier Reserve and Senior Competition teams: $200.00 plus loss of two competition points.
* Collegiate teams: $100.00 plus loss of two competition points
A defaulting team will still need to fulfil their team's umpiring committments on the day. Please note failure to turn up for umpire duty will result in a second fine.
Lost Property
Please ensure your valuables are secure and do not bring anything to the courts that you would hate to lose while left unattended. As the ASB Sports Centre and Hataitai Netball Courts are public spaces there are people coming in and out all the time.
If you find you have left any of your belongings around the Hataitai netball courts or in the Hataitai Pavilion building, please contact us via email to email@example.com or phone (04) 387 6005 to enquire about whether it may have been handed in. The Hataitai Lost Property table is located inside the downstairs Games Office in the Pavilion building therefore it is best to contact us to organise a time to come and view the items. We make every effort to gather up unclaimed items at the end of each day and keep them in a safe place for hopeful collection. Should items be left at the Hataitai Courts outside of competition hours, these may be collected by Wellington City Council staff at either venue and returned to a collective Lost Property housed within the City Council offices. Please contact the Council on 499 4444 to enquire.
If you have attended the ASB Sports Centre and believe you may have left something behind, please check with the friendly staff at the Front Reception Desk to the left of the main entry as you enter the building. The Wellington City Council staff retain all items for a month and have a register of items for easy checking. Please contact them on phone: 801 3400 for phone enquiries.
Nail Clippers
Nail Clippers are available from the desk please ensure your clippings go in the rubbish bin.
Ball Pump
The Ball pump is based at the Wellington City council desk at the front entrance of the ASB Sports Centre. A ball pump is also located beside the water dispenser at the Hataitai Netball Pavilion.
Complaints can only be lodged by club captains or school co-ordinator and must be submitted in writing via email to email@example.com or post to Complaints, Netball Wellington Centre, PO Box 14-845, Kilbirnie, Wellington 6241 by Monday 12.00pm immediately following your game. Please provide as much detail as possible with regards to the venue, court the game was played on, the time, the teams involved, player names/positions (where known), umpire names/description (where known), etc.
Comment Guidelines: The SportsTG Network is made up of players, families and passionate sports followers like you who have a strong opinion about sport.

Ellerbe Fine Foods, the Fort Worth Hospital District restaurant housed in the former quarters of a vintage gas station, is one of "The 10 Best New Restaurants in America," Bon Appetit magazine says in its September edition.
The mag likened eating at the restaurant, which opened a year ago at 1501 Magnolia Ave., to having a "charming southern grandma who invited you over to her cozy little house for Sunday supper."
Bon Appetit noted the "warm feel of the dining room" and the restaurant's "everyone-is-family philosophy."
It recommended the restaurant's New Orleans-style barbecue shrimp and Maw Maw's bread pudding.
"Riffs on southern classics are the best," the magazine said. "And with apologies to all you southerners, the upscale country cooking is probably much better than grandma's."
Co-owners Molly McCook - also the chef - and Richard King grew up together in Shreveport. McCook learned to cook from her grandmother, who lived on Ellerbe Court Road in Shreveport.
Bon Appetit includes the recipe to the restaurant's Heirloom Tomato Salad with Buttermilk Dressing and Blue Cheese. The edition is available on newsstands Aug. 24.
Other top 10 restaurants included ones in Portland, Ore., Atlanta, Ga., Boston, New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, San Francisco, and Chicago.

You look for ways to continue the inherently inept process of false security, because admitting that the "security" paradigm started in the 60s in response to Che-wannabes commandeering planes to Cuba was entirely for show would be too much of a loss of face.

About "Get some rest!" by label
Get some rest!
Design by label
For a detailed version of the design, check my profile.
Nice, I like both positions on the shirt, but I'd probably buy centered over the other. Very cool.
I second the above.
total love :)
I like it centered on brown.
gah...I love these colors and am such a sucker for them. Luckily, your design deserves praise, too. :) Calm and untroubled.
Actually is not white, is more of a cream color... like the Katrina shirts.
For an insomniac like me, this tee would be sort of ironic. I like that.
It's beautiful, label.
I'm kinda stunned. Not only by the quality of this design, but by how few comments it's received. This is the same kind of style I work towards, and you do it so well. Nice work!
I know, I thought it would get more comments but I thinks its because of the sale that many people are buying stuff rather than judging.
off-center. brown. 5$
Thanx you guys! Really enjoyed making this design. In fact is one of my favorites. Hope it gets printed...
anyone with this shirt in 12 club want to sell it to me?

KIEV, Ukraine >> Opposition lawmakers in Ukraine are suggesting that President Viktor Yanukovych's government may be behind a series of blasts in an eastern city that injured at least 27 people.
Four blasts within minutes Friday rocked the center of the Ukrainian city of Dnipropetrovsk in what prosecutors believed was a terrorist attack. Nine children are among the injured.
But deputy parliament speaker Mykola Tymenko, a member of opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko's party, says he "does not rule out" that senior government officials were involved in organizing the blasts. Tomenko says the government may be using the attack to deflect the world's attention from Tymoshenko.
Tymoshenko, 51, the country's top opposition leader, has been on a hunger strike for a week after she was allegedly violently beaten by prison guards.

On Schisms and Authorityby CaluluI was working recently on a large graphic design job when it struck me about the differences in the way authority looks inside of the Fundamentalist Patriarchal culture and from the outside.It was one of those design projects for a larger firm and I was working as an independent contractor. A design project where I was given the basic elements the client wanted in the design but not much else. Punt, pass or run with the ball, it was my call. My idea for the project really jelled quickly as I was working with those basic elements, I had a very good idea going in a totally different direction than was suggested at the meeting. I quickly worked up two or t … [Read more...]

Andrew Stewart
Andrew Stewart was quick to point out he worked for the Greater Wellington Regional Council, in land management.
"I understand and appreciate the current programmes of land and water management," he said. "I want to ensure the importance of these programmes are recognised and carried forward."
He said it was important people were not distracted by the local government debate. "There are important challenges and exciting opportunities, not unique to here, but all around New Zealand."
He saw the important issues ahead being management of land and water, completing a regional plan, and the Wairarapa Water Use Project.
"I'm standing for council, I want to bring a fresh new set of skills, to navigate the challenges and these issues.
"You need a councillor that can contribute as part of a team. Who can listen to the community and take these conversations to the council table.
"As a business person, I understand the pressures of balance economic and business considerations.
"Finally as a father, I have a long term perspective on what I want to see for my children."
John Dalziell
John Dalziell promoted his credentials as a candidate with a lifetime's experience with Greater Wellington activities, and an acquired knowledge from 40 years of high country farming.
"I've been involved with the Wairarapa Rural Services Committee for nine years," he said, adding he had been a director and chairman for the Animal Health Board for 15 years.
"If elected I will promote an environmentally sustainable outcome for the region."
He said there was a need for "firm control" on expenditure.
With regards to local government, status quo was not an option. "I look forward to the commissioner's proposal."
Mr Dalziell said there was a knowledge gap, particularly in urban areas, of the activities of the regional council.
"The benefits of the regional council's activities benefit everyone in the region.
"Communication with council needs to be improved between Masterton and Wellington."
Gary McPhee
Gary McPhee told the audience he hadn't prepared a speech, saying "we all know what's going on", before asking for questions.
But prompted by referee Rick Long, Mr McPhee said there had been a lot said on regional governance, but everyone knew what Greater Wellington did.
"Wairarapa's been part of the Wellington region forever?
"That's absolute crap. In 1853, New Zealand was divided into three islands, nine provinces; 1876, abolition of provinces.
"Wairarapa was on its own until 1989."
He said he was sick of hearing figures like $11 million, with regards to the cost of going it alone. "It's between $2 and $4 million. We can afford it. Wellington uses consultants, in the Wairarapa, we use baling twine and chewing gum."
