Dangers of driving after night shifts

Ian Morrison and colleagues revisit the evidence and dangers of driving after a night shift
A recent debate in the Scottish Parliament[1] has again raised the issue of the safety of hospital workers when driving home after a night shift, a matter that was highlighted five years ago by the Royal College of Physicians in a survey of junior hospital doctors.[2]
Hospital working patterns in the United Kingdom have changed with the introduction of the European Working Time Directive. Overnight cover can last around 12 hours, and medical staff are expected to work throughout the night. Although breaks are possible, the minimum requirement is only 20 minutes if the shift exceeds six hours. Many hospitals now expect their medical staff to stay awake throughout the night and have withdrawn on-call bedrooms, a move opposed by the BMA and the Academy of Royal Colleges.[3]
Doctors who have been awake for more than 20 hours, which may occur at the end of their first night shift, often experience increased sleepiness compounded by their daily circadian (body clock) trough. The combined effect leads to performance impairment similar to that resulting from a blood alcohol concentration of 100 mg/100 ml,[4] well over the UK driving limit.
The effects of this reduced performance on the care of patients has been a focus of concern,[5] but doctors may also suffer. Those on night shifts are up to three times more likely to be involved in a road traffic incident than those working other shifts.[6] [7] The situation is aggravated by longer commutes by doctors required to rotate through several hospitals during their specialty training.
Although adaptation to night shifts is possible with time, for junior medical staff such shifts occur in relatively short blocks in an attempt to maximise training opportunities during the day. These blocks are often too short for adequate adaptation, even with judicious use of light[8] and other countermeasures. Of further concern is the finding that young drivers are more affected by sleep loss than are older drivers.[9] Apart from greater sleepiness, sleep loss also tends to subtly elevate mood among younger drivers, as well as impairing decision making, which together can result in drivers feeling overly optimistic about being able to drive safely.[10]
Although short naps (<20 minutes) during the night can help maintain alertness on duty,[11] there is no evidence that these could reduce end of shift sleepiness during monotonous driving. A 200 mg dose of caffeine (two or three cups of coffee) taken 30 minutes before driving might work for around 30 minutes.[12] However, self medicating with relatively high doses of caffeine in this manner implies awareness of being unsafe to drive, and in the United Kingdom drivers have a legal duty to ensure that they are fit to drive.
Many recent medical graduates experiencing night shifts for the first time will be unaware of the risks of sleep deprivation. It is important that they recognise these and accept that working a night shift, particularly on the first night, requires adequate preparation. Likewise, those who set the rotas should do so in accordance with best evidence to ensure the safety of their employees, even if this affects training.
Any doctors who are excessively sleepy at the end of a night shift should acknowledge the dangers and not drive. Provision must be made to get them home safely, especially if and when such work hours are wholly and necessarily part of their duties.

Army First Sgt. Robert N. Barton, a Mississippi native, was killed this past weekend when a bomb exploded near his military vehicle in Afghanistan.
Barton's body, along with that of four other American servicemen, was returned to the military mortuary at Dover Air Force Base Tuesday. All died Sunday when a bomb blasted their Humvee.
Barton was born in 1974 and grew up in the Roxie, Miss., area.
His grandmother, Jo Beth Coleman, told the McComb Enterprise-Journal that Barton was a 1993 graduate of Franklin High School, where he played center on the football team. He joined the military the following year.
The family of Army Spc. Brendan Neenan, who was killed this week in Afghanistan, remembers him as selfless.
The Defense Department says the 21-year-old Neenan of Enterprise, Ala., died Monday at Jelawa of wounds sustained when insurgents attacked his unit using an improvised explosive device.
Neenan's brother, Tim, remembers that Neenan would frequently call him asking about his work as a stand-up comic and comedy writer in Los Angeles.
He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, N.C.
The military is a tradition in the Neenan family, with Brendan Neenan's father and grandfather both serving as infantry paratroopers.

Social Security number, birth date not enough to access your credit report
Dear Experian,
If someone has your Social Security number and your date of birth, can they access your credit report online? How can you tell when your credit report was last checked, and by whom? I think that someone checked my credit report, and it was not me.
Dear ARR,
A person with only your Social Security number and date of birth will not be able to access your credit report online. At a minimum, a person would also have to have your name and address just to get the request process started.
Experian does not match your identity based on just one or two identifying elements. Even matching multiple identifiers will only get you past the first step. It still wouldn't be enough to get your credit report.
The second step is passing a quiz based on your credit report and other "out-of-wallet" information, or information a thief couldn't get simply by stealing your wallet or purse. Unless the person has intimate details about your credit history and debts, they should be unable to pass the test, and so could not get your credit report.
By matching multiple pieces of identifying information and requiring you to pass an identity authentication test, Experian makes if very difficult for anyone but you to get your credit report online.
Once you have your report, you will see a list of inquiries, which are a record of who has requested a copy of your credit report. If someone posed as you to get your report, you would see an inquiry showing that you requested your own report.
If you haven't ordered your own report, the inquiry would tip you off that someone else has used your identifying information to get the report. To do so, the person will have to know much more than just your Social Security number and birth date.
Thanks for asking.
- The "Ask Experian" team

Love how ownership is wasting time on the wrong gruden. They must not of watched his poor play calling last week.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 01:29 PM
Hopefully the Eagles geniuses have the new coach hired or the new coach they plan on naming when their respective team is eliminated from the playoffs before Jay Gruden even gets a chance to interview. I am hearing McCoy is not Lurie's guy so I don't think they are going in that direction. Bradley might be a nice hire but I just can't see him putting an elite staff together so I don't know if they will go in that direction. I am guessing that Brian Kelly is the Eagles top target now but I have a feeling he will go back to ND. So there we would be, all our top targets off the table. Who do we get stuck with? Scary. If you want a college football coach Jeff call David Shaw at Stanford. Now that would be a nice hire. I know he just signed an extension, but who cares thats worth as much as the paper its written on.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 05:17 PM
It would be nice to have a coach that doesn't use all of his timeouts in the first and third quarters...
Posted 11 January 2013 - 05:30 PM
I am sure who ever they pick will be in the best interest for the Eagles. If you remember we all hated Andy Reid in the beginning too. He took the Eagles to many Playoff games and one Super Bowl game, yes it would have been nice to win the Super Bowl but at least we made it there. Not many teams can say they have made it to the playoff's as many times as Reid did. Reid is a great coach but at this time he is not the right coach for the Eagles. For all we know the new coach we pick could take us to the Super Bowl next year and win it, wouldn't that be great????

Rainy weather in southern Virginia forced cancellation of this afternoon's pole qualifying session for Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Martinsville. That means they'll set the field by the points standings, giving Jimmie Johnson the inside of row one.
Notoriously poor qualifier Jeff Burton got a break when rain washed out all on-track activities, giving him the second spot on the starting grid.
Johnson holds a 69-point lead over Burton headed into the sixth of 10 races in NASCAR's Chase for the Cup.
You can catch Sunday's race at noon on WTOK-TV.

Advancing Green Infrastructure
While there is a growing national spotlight on the need to reinvest in America's infrastructure, there is little discussion about how to make smarter investments to protect the water our communities rely on given the threats posed by a changing climate. Using green infrastructure is one example of a smart investment that has multiple benefits for communities.
American Rivers' Clean Water program works on the local, state, and federal level to promote green infrastructure by advocating for innovative policies and demonstrating effective conservation practices. We advocate for:
- Increased and reformed federal and state funding that provides incentives for green infrastructure;
- National right-to-know policies about sewage spills to protect public health while building support for increased investment;
- Incorporation of green infrastructure requirements into federal and state clean water permits and regulations;
- Local zoning regulations and ordinances that encourage or require green infrastructure.
We demonstrate and share effective practices by:
- Installing rain gardens and rain barrels in neighborhoods;
- Partnering with local governments to sell rain barrels and install rain gardens;
- Promoting innovative funding techniques;
- Providing technology transfer on green infrastructure between communities;
- Teaching local partners to analyze and prioritize local codes and ordinances for change and how to develop effective messages to achieve these changes
Green infrastructure encompasses a wide range of water management practices that reduce polluted stormwater runoff, flooding, and sewer overflows by maintaining or restoring the natural hydrology of an area often through the use of plants and soils that collect and filter runoff, preventing it from polluting streams and rivers. Green infrastructure includes community approaches such as preservation of wetlands and streamside buffers as well as individual practices including rain gardens, green roofs, and rain barrels. These green practices are often more effective and less expensive than traditional stormwater controls and can enhance the effectiveness of traditional infrastructure by diverting stormwater from overburdened pipes and reducing sewer overflows. Green infrastructure also beautifies communities, creates jobs, and reduces temperatures in urban areas.

Vincent Speranza (left), a former infantryman machine gunner with the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment during World War II, remembers his battle buddies as he scrolls down a personnel list from his old unit while the 1-501's commander, Lt. Col. Tobin Magsig hosts his visit Oct. 6, 2013, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. The tapestry, which bears his name and others from H Company, 3rd Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, hangs as a tribute and remembrance of the regiment's storied history at the 1-501's headquarters building at JBER. Speranza and his unit held important strategic fighting ground in Bastogne, Belgium during the winter of 1944. Speranza was at the base to visit paratroopers with the 1st Battalion (Airborne), 501st Infantry Regiment, and to be a special guest at their regimental ball. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.

Emergency Shelters
For Single Women
Tara Winters, a former Hope House resident, has gone on to start her own successful child care agency on Wilmington's East Side.
Mary Mother of Hope House I
1103 West Eighth Street
Wilmington, DE 19806-4605
Founded: 1977
Capacity: 21 women
Mary Mother of Hope House I opened in 1977 as the first emergency shelter for single homeless women in the Delmarva Peninsula. This shelter provides housing and supportive services for those women 18 and over who want to address the root causes of their homelessness. Programs include intensive case management, drug and alcohol counseling, mental health services, housing assistance and placement, and job search and training.
Since Hope House I began, over 6,000 women have received supportive services that helped them regain self-esteem and improve the quality of their lives in a safe and secure environment. The newly renovated facility can accommodate 21 women.
For Women and Children
Mary Mother of Hope House II
Mary Mother of Hope House III
In response to the special needs of homeless women with children, the Ministry of Caring established two emergency shelters, Mary Mother of Hope House II & III. These cheerful, comfortable sites provide residents with a stable environment of support and guidance along with nourishing, well-balanced meals for 30 to 45 days. In their journeys toward self-sufficiency, the women also have an opportunity to acquire skills in life management and parenting and also to use Ministry of Caring child care services. Their children receive educational and recreational enrichment throughout their stays.
Hope House II & III are key points of entry into the Ministry continuum of care for the homeless. Case managers can easily connect women with services such as job training/placement assistance, medical and dental care and personal counseling.
For Single Men
House of Joseph I
1328 West Third Street
Wilmington, DE 19805-3662
Founded: 1985
Capacity: 12 men
Willie Newson, director of House of Joseph I, helps homeless employable men find a path to greater independence.
House of Joseph I provides emergency shelter and services to homeless employable men. Residents come to the shelter for reasons that include family challenges, substance abuse, mental health disorders, unemployment or underemployment. Case managers initially help the men to resolve immediate crises. Subsequently, they begin the process of identifying barriers to long-term self-sufficiency. The opportunity to learn life management skills has proven especially helpful.
When case managers determine which residents need and desire additional supportive services, they may refer them to a transitional residence or long-term housing program of the Ministry of Caring. Throughout every resident's stay, House of Joseph I strives to help each man reach his next step on the road to independent living.

FOR RELEASE: January 31, 2014
CONTACT: Stephanie Niedringhaus, 202-347-9797 x224, email@example.com [1]
Washington DC: Sister Simone Campbell, executive director, has announced that NETWORK, a National Catholic Social Justice Lobby, is pleased that House Republicans finally decided to address immigration reform, but is disappointed with the "Standards for Immigration Reform" released yesterday by their Caucus. Their statement provides no clear indication of what steps will be taken to pass legislation that will fix our broken immigration system.
The fundamental structure of our current system is flawed: the application process is backlogged; families are divided while business receives priority; and the economic needs of our country are not met. The House Republican standards do not adequately address these problems or the inevitable flow of immigrants to the U.S. for years to come.
Root causes of migration such as war, climate and our foreign trade policies are also ignored by the House Republican Caucus.
Most unacceptable is the lack of an explicit path to citizenship for aspiring Americans. Let's be clear: we are not advocating for a "special path" to citizenship; we are looking for a system that works. As people of faith, we are called to recognize the inherent dignity of all individuals regardless of age, education level or country of origin, as well as the dignity of work. The U.S. immigration system must reflect this, and it must respect the right of families not to be torn apart. Real solutions to our broken immigration system will benefit the 100%.
It is absolutely essential that immigration reform include a clear (not special) pathway to citizenship and protect family unity. Congress finally has the opportunity to pass genuine reform, and we must seize the moment. NETWORK will tirelessly advocate for passage of immigration reform that:
- Ensures family unity
- Protects the rights of immigrant workers
- Acknowledges that our borders are already secure, with only minor changes needed
- Speeds up processing of already-approved immigrants
- Enhances the present diversity visa program
- Provides a clear and direct path to citizenship.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Pennsylvania has a child support program which can help you get court ordered child support from the father. You don't necessarily need a lawyer to get a child support award. For more information and to get started, the child support website is here:
Custody is a trickier topic. In order to get sole custody, you have to convince the court that it is in the best interest of the child for you to have sole custody. There is a presumption that shared legal custody is best. Shared legal custody does not mean that your son won't live with you permanently, it just means that you and the father would share decisions regarding your son's education, medical treatment, religion, and so forth. Some parents will bring a custody petition, and if it looks like the court is not going to give them what they are asking for, they will then hire an attorney to protect their interests. This may be a good option for you.
If you can agree that visitation will take place at your home on your terms, then you don't have to have a court order. But if you can't agree, you should get it in writing and ordered by the court. Usually it is the non-custodial parent who petitions for visitation rights. At that point, you would want to make sure to have as part of your order that the visitations will be in your home.

Its weird though, whenever it freezes and I try to use XIG it works but gives me a pic of the thing I used to launch the game (like if I used ava, it shows the ava dash and it shows me launching the game, same with all the dashs). I am using halo version 1.0 and I know that version should work..... so I dunno, must be my xbdm.dll

I just remember I got Evox loaded. I used a custom trainer that allows the Evox "TSR" as "Debug". And I loaded Halo 2 through Evox, and then I used XIG to take the screen shots...

Set debug to NONE.
Then do one of these if you've ever used H2 on Live or have the map pack disk-
1) Go into E/TDATA/4d530064/ and rename the $u folder to anything else, like $u3.
2) Go to where Halo2 is saved to your HD and delete the default.xbe. Go to E/TDATA/4d530064/$u/ and copy that default.xbe to where Halo2 is saved. Just note it is a bit buggy this way - for example, ALWAYS HIT "End Game" instead of "Leave Game" to get out of an MP game.

Christine Jorgensen wasn't the first transsexual, but she was the most famous, according to Susan Stryker, associate professor of Gender Studies at Indiana University. A guest of the Newcomb College Center for Research on Women, Stryker gave a lecture on Jorgensen Monday (April 12) night in Freeman Auditorium on Tulane's uptown campus.
"A lot of people think about transsexuality as a new thing," Stryker said. "Christine Jorgensen was 60 years ago. This is your grandmother's transsexuality."
Stryker described Jorgensen's life and explained how she became a media sensation for a decade. Jorgensen was born George William Jorgensen in 1926 to Danish-American parents and grew up as a "frail, tow-headed, introverted little boy." She went to Denmark for a sex change in the early 1950s. In 1953, Jorgensen developed a nightclub act, working 50 weeks a year, earning $5,000 per week.
In a 1959 TV Mike Wallace interview, Jorgensen said she worked behind the camera cutting film before her surgery because she didn't know how to appear on the other side. That comment sparked Stryker's desire to make a film about Jorgensen titled "Christine in the Cutting Room."
"I couldn't help but think of her working in one cutting room and moving into another kind of cutting room," Stryker said during an interview Monday afternoon. "She was thinking about her body as an expressive medium. She was the auteur, the director of her own appearing.
"Most people accepted Jorgensen as the woman she presented herself to be," Stryker added. "That's what I find so remarkable."
This Newcomb College Center for Research on Women program was made possible through a gift from Marla Custard (NC '91) and is sponsored by the Gender & Sexuality Studies Program and the Newcomb Sexuality and Gender Alliance (NSAGA).

Penn defends the LawOscars host Chris Rock got embroiled in a bitter war of words with Sean Penn for mocking Jude Law at the star-studded ceremony on Sunday night (27.02.05).
During his opening remarks at the awards, Rock made a series of quips questioning Law's acting ability and calling him a second-rate Tom Cruise.
The outspoken comic said: "You want Tom Cruise and all you get is Jude Law. Wait. It's not the same thing. Who is Jude Law? Why's he in every movie I have seen in the last four years? He's in everything. Even the movies he's not in, if you look at the credits he made cupcakes or something. He's gay, he's straight, he's American, he's British. Next year he's playing Kareem Abdul Jabbar."
However, when Penn took to the stage to present the award for Best Actress he jumped to the defence of his fellow actor.
Before announcing the nominees, the handsome actor, who is renowned for his fiery temper, told the audience: "Forgive my comprised sense of humour. I just want to answer our host's question about who Jude Law is - he's one of our finest actors."
Rock later tried to play down the incident by informing the audience he was "consulting accountants" about Penn's remarks.

You don't have to be Kermit the frog to turn your natural green into a career these days. With a host of eco-friendly initiatives making their way down the congressional pipeline, corporations, small businesses, city governments, and even homeowners are scrambling to ready themselves for the new green economy. That's bad news for big polluters and great news for anyone seeking employment in an industry that employs over 2.7 million workers and has seen explosive growth throughout the recession.
Many industries – especially those that deal in fossil fuels – are urgently seeking Corporate Responsibility Managers to help bring old practices into compliance with new regulations while also heading initiatives in sustainable energy. Local and regional government planners and organizations are employing lawyers, LEED certified architects, designers, energy consultants and civil engineers with green backgrounds to help them plan for a more sustainable future. This means designing better, smarter cities with more extensive public transport networks, a sustainable energy grid, increased parkland, and more funding for green initiatives.
Within these areas there will also be a great need for "green collar" workers to install all of that new green machinery and make it run. Solar panel installers will be in high demand as the use of solar energy spreads, as will wind turbine installers and operators. Vastly expanded transportation networks will call for more drivers and operators, and green factories will require workers for their lines.
As a burgeoning industry, there has never been a better time to get involved in the green industry. You can have a real hand in shaping the direction of our economy, our government, and the way we live. So go green and earn green at the same time!

I am new to this forum, so please bear with me. I participate in a lot of forums and I was thrilled to find this one especially because of the forums specific to Hybrids and Clydes. I could really use the advice of experienced riders and mechanics.
I am greatly dissapointed though. So far about four out of six threads degenerate into one guy calling another guy names or saying how stupid someone is or how their opinion doesn't matter and they are completely wrong and should stfu and go somewhere else.
Are their moderators here? Do they do anything? Or is this just a hangout for a bunch of punk kids?
There are some pearls out there, but I really have to dig through the drama to find them. This is y'all's forum and if that's the way you like it more power to you. I guess I'll find another forum with hopefully a friendlier community.
I offer this honestly to let you see what you may not notice as an insider, a newcomers impression of what could be a great place. BTW, I did a search in the forum for STFU and got five pages worth of links to conversations.. that should be a clue.
I hope you all get things straightened out.

Pacers' George plans to sign extension before the season
The clock is ticking for the Pacers to prevent Paul George from restricted free agency. But he says not to worry.
Via the Indianapolis Star, George says he will sign an extension with the Pacers before the 2013-14 season starts.
"[A long-term contract] is going to get done," George told the Indianapolis Star. "There will be a deal signed and sealed on the table before the season. We're [George and Pacers management] on the same page."
That's a lot of confidence in a deal getting done, but it's hard to imagine George, a blossoming superstar, not being locked up. He's likely not signing for anything less than a max, considering he would assuredly get that in restricted free agency, though. He's emerged as one of the most promising young players in the league, a defensive stopper on the wing with slashing, shooting and finishing ability.
Financially, the Pacers are in a decent spot with about $52 million committed for 2014-15, which would be when an extension for George kicks in. Roy Hibbert signed a max level deal in restricted free agency last summer which starts this season, but after that only have big deals in David West and George Hill to worry about.
An extension for George means Danny Granger's days in Indiana are almost guaranteed to be numbered, as he's set to make $14 million this season on an expiring deal.
Asked recently about George's future, Pacers president Larry Bird said it's a priority.
"We are working on it now," Bird said, via the Star. "We've got a way set up where we definitely think we can get something done, but it's going to have to work for both parties."
George, 23, averaged 17.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists last season in 79 games.

Whitewashed Milk
Movies | Biopic idolizes California gay politician
Martin Luther described Christians as "simultaneously saint and sinner." But biopics conventionally separate the two, making their subjects sinners for the first portion of their lives and then saints after some redemption experience. The formula is so predictable that the whole genre was effectively parodied by last year's Judd Apatow comedy Walk Hard.
While Milk, the new Gus Van Sant biopic of gay politician Harvey Milk, doesn't follow the formula, neither does it improve upon it. The film idolizes its subject, whitewashing a complicated man into a saint with no apparent flaws. It makes other biopics seem multidimensional.
That said, Milk (rated R for language, some sexual content, and brief violence) has one huge saving grace: its uniformly remarkable cast. Sean Penn disappears into the role of the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California and will certainly be nominated for an Oscar. The performances of Emile Hirsch, Josh Brolin, and James Franco are breathtaking and subtle, obscuring the many flaws of the heavy-handed and trite screenplay.
Much of the plot deals with the defeat of a 1978 California proposition that would have required school boards to fire any homosexual teacher or any supporter of a gay teacher. Christians are portrayed as cartoonish hatemongers and never as actual people with legitimate concerns.
The direction of the film is uninventive, directly copying the structure of The Times of Harvey Milk, the 1984 Oscar-winning documentary. It opens with the same archival footage of then-San Francisco Supervisor Dianne Feinstein announcing the assassinations of Milk and Mayor George Moscone. And it uses Milk's final testament, recorded on audiotape, to organize the film.
While all biopics compress facts and skip inconvenient details, Dustin Lance Black's screenplay goes beyond that to invent history in service to the film's agenda. Milk's assassin, fellow supervisor Dan White, is portrayed as a closeted homosexual driven to kill by his own insecurities. The historical record indicates he was a mentally disturbed man on the brink of financial ruin who was engaged in a vicious political feud with Milk and Moscone.
The film's considerable flaws won't matter much. It's already critically acclaimed, a development that's more a result of the film's political agenda and acting performances than of overall merit.

Deadline for Dewey 'Clawback' Signup Pushed Back Again
If the team winding down defunct law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP had a theme song, it would surely be this 1970 hit by The Chairman of the Board ("Give Me Just a Little More Time," for those who refuse to click through).
On Monday morning, the Aug. 7 deadline for Dewey's ex-partners to sign up for a proposed "clawback" settlement got pushed back for the second time. Now partners have until 5 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 13, to decide if they want to swap up to $90.4 million in back pay for immunity from future lawsuits relating to the firm's demise, according to an email to ex-partners that was reviewed by WSJ.
Dewey's bankruptcy advisers didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
A previous version of the so-called partner contribution plan was scrapped after complaints that it favored high earners and former firm leaders who stood the most to gain from such a settlement.
At issue this time around: details surrounding the liability release, according to two ex-partners. For instance, would partners be precluded from taking legal steps to try and force access to their retirement funds? "Because the 401K plan has been frozen and we can't get our money," one ex-partner said.
Others are also scrutinizing the language of the release itself with a magnifying glass. They want to make double-triple sure that if they fork over their money — anywhere from $5,000 to $3.3 million — they will not get sued, either by creditors or by former partners.
Anger among rank-and-file partners was further stoked by the release earlier this month of Dewey's 355-page statement of financial affairs. The filings detailed big payouts to the firm's executive team in the months leading up to the firm's May 28 Chapter 11 petition, as well as to certain partners (identified only by their employee numbers).
For instance, one partner who earned $6.65 million in the previous year was paid $409,541 on Dec. 31, 2011, for "imputed out of town living" expenses. That partner also got a $2 million distribution of partner profits on Jan. 27, 2012.
Another who earned $6.75 million got reimbursed for $255,982.50 in expenses in the months before the bankruptcy.
Despite the resentment still simmering among many former Dewey partners, some seem more inclined to opt for the settlement plan than in previous weeks. That is, if the estate and the creditors can come to some sort of agreement on the terms.
An agreement between all three groups on a "clawback" plan at this stage would be a first for a law firm bankruptcy. Typically such claims take years to resolve.
"A lot of people are bothered by those numbers," said one ex-partner. "But many people want to put this behind them. They're really galled…but they are willing to swallow their anger rather than continue to fight this."
Said another former partner: "There are still significant issues to resolve around the release, and the aggregate amount of the payment. My sense is that assuming those things get resolved in a productive way that there should be a pretty significant participation."

Contrary to popular belief, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was not related to this (Nehru-Gandhi) family. The Gandhi surname came from Feroze Gandhi, whom Indira Priyadarshini Nehru (the daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru) married, and later chose to change her name to Indira Gandhi after marriage."
So says the Nehru-Gandhi Family's Wikipedia page, not the most authoritative source but, at the very least, the world's most comprehensive. However, even those who care to discriminate between brand Gandhi (Mahatma) and brand Gandhi (the Nehru-branch), can't help but sense some rub-off.

One toke is over the line
Is marijuana a harmless high? Of course not, argues White House drug czar John P. Walters in The Washington Post. He reports that today's potheads inhale smoke that is 10 to 20 times stronger that what earlier generations used, making it addictive enough that 60 percent of "teens in drug treatment have a primary marijuana diagnosis." He also cites University of Michigan statistics showing that almost half of high-school seniors have tried marijuana. Among those, 22 percent smoke it at least monthly. "After years of giggling at quaintly outdated marijuana scare stories ... we've become almost conditioned to think that any warnings about the true dangers of marijuana are overblown," Mr. Walters points out. He maintains that the drug contains carcinogens, can hurt a user's concentration and memory, and is linked to tens of thousands of car accidents.
Socialism's death throes?
May Day means little in America, but the left loves it in Europe. Anti-globalization protesters use the day to threaten shopkeepers, clash with police, and just get rowdy. This year, hundreds of thousands of activists turned out as merchants boarded up stores and riot police turned out in force. Pete du Pont takes a contrarian view in The Wall Street Journal, marking it as a reminder of discredited socialism, a "day best remembered for massive military parades in Red Square with Stalin or Khrushchev gray and grim above Lenin's tomb."
Fewer guns, more crime in Europe
Even though Western Europe "seems like a gun-control utopia," some terrible crimes have shocked the continent. Los Angeles Times reporter Sebastian Rotella writes that "the number of guns and violent crimes has risen in France, Germany, Britain, and elsewhere" in defiance of restrictive laws. The most notable tragedy was the German school shootings last month. Also in April, eight Parisian city council members were gunned down and 14 regional legislators were killed in Switzerland last September. Such tragedies challenge both social-democracy and gun-control orthodoxies that claim fewer guns mean fewer crimes. Mr. Rotella notes the growth of Europe's criminal underworld, the rise in smuggling thanks to declining border controls, and increased incidents with young and/or ethnic criminals. "As crime has dropped in the United States in recent years, it has worsened in much of Europe, despite generous welfare states designed to prevent U.S.-style inequality and social conflict," he explains. "Nihilistic rage flares in classroom violence in Germany, car-arson rampages in France, brutal muggings in Britain."
Joyful "noise"
Christian schools are sprouting up across America's cities as churches anticipate a flood of vouchers if the Supreme Court rules in favor of Cleveland's school-choice program this year, reports USA Today's Tamara Henry. She notes that "congregations and ministers are convinced that public schools neglect local children and [that] students are more likely to succeed academically if they receive religious training." The reporter points out that the city of Milwaukee, the state of Florida, and other areas have voucher programs already, and President Bush is promoting tuition tax credits. "There's a revolution afoot," the Rev. Kenneth Sullivan, pastor of Indianapolis's Charity Christian Center, told Ms. Henry. "It's quiet now, but it's going to get noisy."
From riots to quiet
Ten years after the Rodney King riots, the Los Angeles neighborhood that once served as Ground Zero isn't the urban abyss many expect. UPI's Steve Sailer calls the area a "surprisingly quiet bedroom community" packed with homeowners who commute to downtown jobs. The commercial areas are still depressed, but church buildings now outnumber liquor stores. The correspondent describes an area of modest single-family dwellings just 10 miles south of Beverly Hills' swank tackiness. "Near Florence and Normandie, you can see long rows of small but attractive Spanish style stucco homes painted vivid colors-purples, greens, blues-more redolent of San Francisco than of Los Angeles," he reports. "The landscaping of the compact yards ... isn't as baroquely lush as in the wealthy white districts. Yet, lawns are kept neat, and here and there fuchsia bougainvilleas bloom in tropical profusion." Blacks today make up 62 percent of the area, but the rest is largely a growing Hispanic population. "Around Florence and Normandie, blacks and Hispanics often live side by side, but language and cultural gaps keep them from talking much," Mr. Salier writes. "The census found very few inter-ethnic couples."

text: Preheat oven to 450°. Coat the bottom of a rimmed baking pan with the olive oil. Roll out the dough to a rectangle about 9x13 inches. Transfer to the baking pan. Arrange the ham slices evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border. Scatter the asparagus pieces over the ham. Carefully break the eggs on top of the pizza. (The asparagus will 'trap' the eggs and keep them from rolling.) Sprinkle the fontina and parmesan cheeses over all. Bake the pizza for 15 minutes or until browned and bubbling. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley for garnish.

The reason the Rule adopts the exemption for institutions of higher learning permitting them to avoid having to E-Verify all new hires is because of the large number of students with intermittent employment. The preamble to the Rule states: The Councils recognize that coverage of a large number of educational institutions was not anticipated in the proposed rule. These entities have a large number of students with intermittent employment, which may complicate these institutions efforts to comply with E-Verify requirements.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Adrienne Maloof and Husband Call 911 For Actor Charlie Sheen
January 28, 2011 11:00 AM by Paula_Kosowski
The drama didn't end with the season finale of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for stars Adrienne Maloof and Dr. Paul Nassif. Bravo's bickering couple had to call 911 yesterday after receiving a panicked phone call from neighbor Charlie Sheen's house. Keep reading to see how the "Real Housewives" couple got mixed in with all the Charlie Sheen drama…
According to People, "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" couple Adrienne Maloof and Dr. Paul Nassif called for paramedics Thursday after getting a phone call asking for help and medical advice from the plastic surgeon for actor and neighbor Charlie Sheen.
"We did receive a call from Charlie's house this morning, asking for medical assistance and advice," the couple said in a statement. "[We] immediately insisted the caller dial 911. Dr. Nassif also immediately called 911."
People reports Sheen was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, causing rumors of a drug overdose.
Radar Online reports doctors said Sheen actually suffered a hernia in his stomach.
Doctors said the "Two and a Half Men" star was dehydrated, had a low red blood cell count and high white blood cell count, which are signs of an infection.
The Maloof's are hoping for the best for their neighbor.
They stated, "As longtime friends, we are obviously very concerned about his well-being…Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family right now and we wish him a speedy recovery."
Sheen left the hospital Thursday night, but doctors have scheduled more tests for an accurate diagnoses.
While the actor didn't overdose, sources told Radar Online he's been partying non-stop.
"He smoked cocaine and snorted cocaine and had almost no sleep since Monday,†the source told the website.
According to Radar Online's source, Sheen's father visited the actor and didn't want his son released because he thinks Sheen needs to be in rehab.

Presbyterian Criminal Justice Network (PCJN)
"Ending the mass incarceration crisis and putting people before profit."
Welcome to PHEWA's newest network! In February, 2012, 35 people came together at Stony Point Conference Center in New York to engage in an intensive three day process of personal sharing, education, asset mapping and future visioning. By the end of their time together, this group of individuals from twelve states and every region of the country had coalesced into the beginnings of a network, united in the goal of transforming our nation's broken criminal justice system.
This gathering was the result of General Assembly action in 2010 instructing PHEWA to hold a consultation with the goal of creating a new PHEWA network focused on criminal justice issues.
For more information about this gathering, go to Unbound: An Interactive Journal of Christian Social Justice to read Patrick Heery's account, or to the PC(USA) website for Jim Nedelka's report.
Presbyterian Criminal Justice Sunday
PHEWA's Presbyterian Criminal Justice Network (PCJN) members offer these worship resources in observation of Presbyterian Criminal Justice Sunday. This year, according to the Presbyterian Planning Calendar, Presbyterian Criminal Justice Sunday fell on January 25. Whether you observe Criminal Justice Sunday on this designated date or set a different time that works better for your congregation or worshiping community, we hope that you find this material to be useful. It is also our hope and prayer that, beyond observation of Criminal Justice Sunday, we will all work together to ensure a place for everyone at the Lord's Table where the gifts of all God's people are valued and affirmed.
In her 2009 Reflection for Criminal Justice Sunday, one of the founding members of PHEWA's Presbyterian Criminal Justice Network (PCJN), our beloved Annie Rawlings (1957-2013), shared this prophetic word which may be helpful to you as you plan your own observance of Presbyterian Criminal Justice Sunday, and consider ongoing programming and actions throughout the year, toward reform of this country's criminal justice system:
"… And I hope we can all draw on the best of our theological understanding, and the best strengths gleaned from whatever suffering any of us has endured, to remember that within the human family the question of how we stay family after we have hurt each other is one of the principal challenges of community. There are people in prison who have caused harm – sometimes deadly harm. We have ALL hurt someone. We have hurt each other through exclusion. We have hurt each other through scapegoating. We have hurt each other through a tolerance for poverty around the world and close to home. We have hurt each other through any number of things we have done or not done. The need for confession is upon us ALL. The need for reconciliation is before us ALL. We must not let people in prison become the "demonized other" upon whom we project the shadows of our own impulses towards violence of greater or lesser degree. We instead must connect with the humanity of people in prison, and who have been in prison, from that place in each of us that wants to be part of the whole, that wants to feel worthy, that wants a chance, that longs to experience the dignity associated with being a child of God, and longs to have that dignity affirmed by others." (Full text of Annie Rawlings' Reflection is available at:http://presweldevotional.blogspot.com/2009/02/reflection-for-criminal-justice-sunday.html)

The Power of Presence
The Rev. Caitlin Werth, member of PHEWA's Presbyterian Criminal Justice Network (PCJN) and one of the organizers of our January 24-25, 2014 Ecumenical Gathering Event, PLACE-MAKING, writes powerful reflections on ministry, with call to action, in her November 4, 2013 article "The Power of Presence," in Unbound; An Interactive Journal of Christian Social Justice. Caitlin serves as the director of the HOPE Pre-Release Program at Allegheny County Jail, an inter-faith, rehabilitative, re-entry program for men and women who want to restore their relationship with their God, rebuild their lives, and reconcile to their community.
She, like many others, had asked me about her case. Her rights as a parent were in danger of being terminated, and she wanted to get into a housing program before her approaching hearing. I explained to her that I am not a social worker and offered to connect her to one, but I felt compelled to look into her case as well. Like many others who work in a jail full of people eager to find their way out, I am frequently approached with these requests.
I found out that she would not be cleared to get into any alternative housing program, as there were warrants out for her arrest in other counties. I debated how to (or even whether I should) share this information with her. Later that day, I went to her housing pod to speak with her again and pass on the message.
First Presbyterian Criminal Justice Network Action
In their first action as a network, informed by the policy statements of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), participants composed, faxed, emailed and hand delivered letter to the governors of 48 states, challenging them to resist prison privatization.
Future plans include increasing local membership and resource development for congregations who feel a call to respond to this national crisis.
What have General Assemblies of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) said about matters related to the criminal justice system of the U.S.A.?
The 215th General Assembly (2003) of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) approved a Resolution Calling for the Abolition of For-Profit Private Prisons and commended it for churchwide study and implementation. This Resolution makes clear that private prisons are not an economic but a deep religious and ethical issue, a cornerstone of our collective work to put justice back into the so-called criminal justice system of this country.
Resolution on Restoring Justice, approved by the 214th General Assembly (2002), Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
The 200th General Assembly (1988) of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) adopted a statement on "Prison Violence and Nonviolent Alternatives" that reaffirmed the theology of previous General Assemblies in urging that "individual Presbyterians and the entities of the General Assembly . . . advocate a social order where compassion and justice characterize efforts toward those in the criminal justice system."

Language is Important…
We are grateful to colleagues from the Prison/re-Entry Working Group of the Presbytery of New York City for calling our attention to this 2007 Open Letter to Our Friends, "We Are People…just like you" written by staff persons for what is now The Center for NuLeadership on Urban Solutions (CNUS), "the first and only independent public policy, research, training and advocacy organization designed and developed by formerly incarcerated professionals and staffed by people directly impacted by the criminal punishment system." This is a reiteration of the desires of many in the disability-rights community, to please become familiar with and come to use People First Language. As Kathie Snow points out there, "It is about respect and dignity; putting the person, not any condition, first."
Excerpts from "Open Letter to Our Friends" include:
"… One of our first initiatives is to respond to the negative public perception about our population as expressed in the language and concepts used to describe us. When we are not called mad dogs, animals, predators, offenders and other derogatory terms, we are referred to as inmates, convicts, prisoners and felons. All terms devoid of humanness which identify us as "things" rather than as people. While these terms have achieved a degree of acceptance, and are the "official" language of the media, law enforcement, the prison industrial complex and public policy agencies, they are no longer acceptable for us and we are asking that you stop using them.
"In an effort to assist our transition from prison to our communities as responsible citizens and to create a more positive human image of ourselves, we are asking everyone to stop using these negative terms and to simply refer to us as PEOPLE. People currently or formerly incarcerated, PEOPLE on parole, PEOPLE recently released from prison, PEOPLE in prison, PEOPLE with criminal convictions, but PEOPLE…"

Butler wrestling (19-3) competes tonight against Northwest Guilford (22-3) for the right to face perenial powerhouse Cary (35-0) in the finals. The match is at Concord Jay Robinson. From the NCHSAA:
Championships in four classifications will be decided on Saturday in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association¹s 20thannual dual team wrestling championships. The championships are held on high school campuses and this year the Eastern champions are the hosts. All of the teams advancing to the Saturday championship matches in 2-A, 3-A and 4-A either earned a pair of victories on Thursday night or are wrestling tonight to gain a shot at the state title. Four teams will meet on Saturday in the 1-A classification to wrestle to the crown.
Inclement weather forced postponement of some matches this week, so in some cases the pairings are not yet set for Saturday¹s finals.
Cary, under veteran head coach Jerry Winterton, has won seven previous NCHSAA championships and the Imps are in the finals for the 14th time. The Imps are making their ninth consecutive appearance in the championships and will be gunning for their third consecutive dual-team title.

The 2-A championship is a rematch of last year¹s final as the Red Devils of Newton-Conover (36-5) travel to Hillsborough to take on Orange (26-3). The championship will start at 6 p.m. after the 5 p.m. weigh-ins.Newton-Conover is in the finals for the third straight year and last year lost to Orange 29-25 in the championship. Orange has won two dual team titles in the previous four years, including the 2005 3-A crown and then last year as a 2-A school.Four teams will converge at Thomasville on Saturday to wrestle for the state title, with weigh-ins at 2 p.m. followed by the regional matches at 3 p.m. The championship will follow. Hampstead Topsail (22-11) will wrestle Thomasville (15-10)

text: I have both a mountain bike and a road bike. Looking around, I have noticed that the mountain bikes use the 2-hole SPD style pedal while the road bikes typically have the longer 3-hole style. Why is that? Is there an advantage to using the 3-hole type on the road bike as opposed to the 2-hole type? I've heard that the larger platform of the road pedals is better, but if the entire shoe is stiff--doesn't the shoe sole become the pedaling platform?

I am a programmer that's pushed into analysing some project (without proper guidance!) and there are frequently some questions popping in my head which I can't find the answer to on the net. Would it be a problem if these were asked on stackoverflow?
I am designing this project for a company that sort of manages a list of Members (institutes, associations, universities, ...). Each member has a list of staffmembers. Now I was wondering how you ought to design the function (job) for each staffmember. Each staffmember can have more than one function (e.g. Rector and Professor). The tricky part is that a staffmember of member A could also be a staffmember of member B.
You don't have to answer to the question in the example here, just if stuff like this can be posted on Stackoverflow or not.

Bin2C converts binary files into C source code. For example, instead of loading a sprite file at runtime, you might want to have something like this in one of your source files:
static char sprite[] = { 0x00, 0x23, 0xff, ... 0x00, 0x44, 0xfa, ... ... };
This would be immensely tedious to type in by hand of course, but Bin2C will do all the hard work for you.
There are several advantages to applying this method to some types of data:
This is a very early version of Bin2C, and comes with very basic instructions. However, it's very easy to use. Simply run it, then drag the file you want to convert to the iconbar icon. Then drag the resulting text file to whereever you want it to be saved.
Download Bin2C version 0.10
Bin2C needs Acorn's ToolBox modules. If you do not have these modules (they are in the RISC OS 3.6 and later ROMs) you can download them too.
Several improvements are planned:
