olympiadesign necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 3 diseños de 2 diseñadores freelance.
My Name is Dimitri Vassiliou and I am the Director of Operations for the Uncommon Individual Foundation. A foundation with 23 years of history that was founded by Dr. Richard Caruso. Dr. Caruso is the founder of regenerative medicine. Feel free to google his name. "Richard E Caruso"
I am looking to redesign the UIF.org homepage.
Currently we are promoting a website called mentorsphere.com This site has been written up in Forbes magazine and is about to go through a large scale worldwide marketing campaign. Our parent company uif.org is the site that needs to be redesigned.
Our target audience for the foundations website: uif.org are other non profits such as the http://www.kauffman.org/ who happen to be partners to us and support our efforts. We need to appeal to large organizations and look as professional if not more then http://www.kauffman.org/ use this site as a basis for ideas.
We will take the winning design and probably have it converted to wordpress or another CMS for our internal writers to be able to keep on top of content and upload news to the front page.
If you look at http://www.uif.org all of the content is there. We need this content to be in a form and navigation structure that is clean, to the point and very professional looking. Although it doesn't currently show, our organization is very large and known throughout the business community. feel free to watch Dr. Richard Caruso's speach that can be found by a link at the bottom of the current UIF.org website. it should give you some insight into who we are and who you are dealing with.
If you have any questions please contact me.
for now, just use the logo found on uif.org website for the various parts of your design. I can get you high res versions. For the mentorsphere logo, goto mentorsphere.com and copy it from that webpage. Its much cleaner on that site.

On January 1, 2008 Ohio's Sex Offender Registration laws changed. The Federal Adam Walsh Act (AWA) was passed in 2006. One of the provisions requires all states to change their laws to match the AWA to provide consistency across the country. Ohio is one of the first states to enact legislation that brings our sex offender registration laws into compliance. The classifications of offenders have changed under the AWA to Tier I Offenders, Tier II Offenders and Tier III Offenders in place of the previous classification under Megan's law of Sexual Offenders, Habitual Offenders and Sexual Predators. The new legislation required the Ohio Attorney General to reclassify each Ohio registered sex offender to the new Tier classifications according to their charges (See the Sexually Oriented Offenses by Tiers chart).
The Tier Classification requirements are as follows:
Tier I Offender – A person who has been convicted of one of the offenses listed under the Tier I chart. These registrants are required to verify their address annually for a period of 15 years.
Tier II Offender – A person who has been convicted of one of the offenses listed under the Tier II chart. These registrants are required to verify their address every 180 days for a period of 25 years.
Tier III Offender – A person who has been convicted of one of the offenses listed under the Tier III chart. These registrants are required to verify their address every 90 days for life. These offenders are subject to community notification within the geographical notification area as defined by law.
Stayed by Court – The classification of any sex offender who has filed an injunction protesting his or her new classification under the Adam Walsh Act.
Community Notification includes: Any occupant of each residential unit within 1000 feet of the offender's place of residence that is located within the county served by the Sheriff. Also included in the notifications are the Chief law enforcement officer, Children Services, school superintendents, college superintendents, child day-care centers (type A and B), certified family day-care homes, and building managers within 1000 feet of the offender's place of residence.
All registered offenders are required to follow these registration laws:
· Must register with the Sheriff within 3 days of arrival in the county of residence, attends school in or is employed in for three or more consecutive days or 14 days total in a calendar year.
· Must give at least a 20 day notice prior to a change of address.
· In addition to the residence, must register employment, school or institution of higher education.
· Not permitted to establish a residence with 1000 feet of a school premises, preschool or child day-care center. (The law does not provide a criminal penalty for an offender who violates this section, but provides a means through a civil process in which a judge may order the offender to move).
· Must register all vehicles (including motor vehicles, boats, aircraft, ATV, recreational, trailers, motorcycles etc) that the offender owns, registers, operations as part of his/her employment or regularly has available to operate; any e-mail addresses, internet identifiers and telephone numbers registered to or used by the offender.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has achieved a great victory.
It is not his miracle plan for MPs' expenses, issued via YouTube last week, nor is it increased confidence that his bailout plans will work.
But he is top of the Number 10 e-petition list.
The petition, posted by Reg reader Kalvis after a long battle, calls for Brown's immediate resignation and has just grabbed the top spot.
Currently 28,454 people have signed his going-away letter.
Brown knocks a petition calling for the RNLI to be exempt from paying license fees for its maritime radio frequencies into number two from the top spot with just 28,334 votes.
We're making a rash prediction that he will soon extend this lead over the RNLI. We're also predicting Brown will pay very little attention to the voice of the internet people.
Go here and do your bit. ®

Item Description
Letter, S. Chamberlin to Sir [Thaddeus Hyatt]
Author: Chamberlin, S.
Date: November 3, 1856
This letter, written by S. Chamberlin, President of the LeRoy Kansas Aid Society, was addressed to Thaddeus Hyatt, chairman of the National Kansas Committee. This aid society in LeRoy, New York, was formed after a lecture presented by H.D. Northrup, an agent of the National Kansas Committee. The author immensely praised the speaking abilities of Northrup, likening him to the great orator Henry Clay. Chamberlin was firmly convinced that, if Northrup canvassed the North, he would be able to stir the hearts of Northerners in support of free state cause. This society also collected clothing and money to send to the free state settlers in Kansas.

Mono, Lack of Sun Linked to MS
April 18, 2011 — Having a history of mononucleosis and living in an area that gets little sunlight both appear to increase the risk for developing multiple sclerosis, new research finds.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is far more common in regions that get little sunlight most of the year, such as Scandinavia, Canada, and the Northern U.S.
Exposure to sunlight allows the skin to produce vitamin D, and vitamin D deficiency has been linked to MS in some studies. Having a history of mononucleosis, which is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, has also long been suspected of being a possible trigger for MS.
In an effort to determine if the two possible risk factors could explain the geographic differences in multiple sclerosis incidence, longtime MS researcher George C. Ebers, MD, and colleagues at the University of Oxford in the U.K. conducted a study in England.
Their earlier studies in France, Scotland, and other regions of Europe suggest that differences in sunlight exposure affect MS risk even within small geographical areas.
For example, MS rates in Scotland were higher in Glasgow than in the sunnier city of Dundee.
"We wanted to find out if having had mononucleosis adds to the multiple sclerosis risk we have documented for low ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure," Ebers tells WebMD.
Sunlight, Mono Explain 72% of Regional Difference
To do this, the researchers examined all National Health Service (NHS) hospital admissions in England from spring of 1998 to spring of 2005, identifying almost 57,700 cases of multiple sclerosis and 14,600 cases of infectious mononucleosis.
They also used NASA satellite data on UV radiation exposure to calculate sunlight exposure within different areas of the country.
The researchers concluded that sunlight exposure and mononucleosis history together explained 72% of the variance in multiple sclerosis incidence within England during this period.
Exposure to sunlight accounted for about 61% of this variance, with having a history of mononucleosis accounting for the rest of the risk, the researchers found.
The findings do not prove that either low levels of sunlight exposure or having a history of mononucleosis cause multiple sclerosis. But Ebers says they point to the "pressing need" for larger studies to examine vitamin D, infectious mononucleosis, and MS.
"The evidence implicating UV radiation in MS is pretty strong," he says. "It is less strong for infectious mononucleosis, but we need to learn more about this."
Neurologist Recommends Testing, Supplementation
Neurologist Karen Blitz-Shabbir, MD, agrees the evidence suggesting a protective role for vitamin D against MS is convincing, and she believes supplementation may even help patients once they have the disease.
Blitz-Shabbir, who directs the North Shore MS Care Center in East Meadow, N.Y., recommends that her patients take 1,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D a day.
Other than sunlight exposure, supplementation is the most efficient way to get vitamin D. Food sources includes fatty fish and fortified dairy products, but getting vitamin D from food alone would be very difficult.
"It is important for MS patients and family members of patients to have their vitamin D levels checked," Blitz-Shabbir says. "If vitamin D levels are low, 1,000 IU may not be enough."
Late last year, the Institute of Medicine weighed in on vitamin D supplementation, concluding that most Americans under the age of 70 need no more than 600 IU of the vitamin per day to maintain health and older people need no more than 800 IU.
The group concluded that the evidence linking higher levels of supplementation to protection against diseases like MS was inconclusive.

Amy Adams has confessed she had to train hard to learn to catch for new baseball film Trouble With The Curve.

The Muppets actress stars opposite Clint Eastwood in the film about an old baseball scout and his estranged daughter who try to repair their relationship.
Amy told The Guardian: "I do come from a family of athletic people, but I just don't have a propensity for catching balls.
"My hand-eye coordination is terrible, so I had to train a lot. But I do love being, I won't say it... it's that line from Grease: 'If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter'."
But she added: "Learning how to catch, how to pitch, how to swing, I worked with a coach. It was really empowering, cause I've never been good at it. I realised I just was afraid of getting hit in the face with the ball. Wisely so, I guess, given that my current profession calls for people with intact faces. Oh God, this... it's like a minefield of balls-in-the-face jokes..."
The 38-year-old actress and mother, who had her big break playing a princess in Disney movie Enchanted, revealed director David O Russell saved her from being typecast by casting her as a waitress in his gritty drama The Wrestler.
Amy said: "He met me and he said: 'Oh you are so not a princess type - we'll have to do something about that!' He said: 'I just want to expose that side of you, and give you the opportunity to shed the whole princess thing, because that isn't who you are - it's just one aspect of the work you've done'."

Focus on Women
Seven films dealing with the theme of "Arab women" were shown at the Arab Film Festival in Tübingen, Germany. At the center of the festival was the advance showing of the Lebanese film Caramel by Nadine Labaki. Florian Wagner reports
Whenever the designation "Arab women" is mentioned in Europe, then stereotypical reactions inevitably arise. Assertions are made about the oppression and the lack of rights of "Arab women" in general, the inflated debate about honor killings is revived, or discussions revolve around the gruesome practice of female circumcision.
An image of hopelessness is portrayed in the media and any search of bookstore shelves devoted to the Arab world usually reveals not much more than the personal stories of oppressed women, who only narrowly escaped the violence of male dominated family clans.
This is certainly not the complete picture of the lives Arab women, as has been powerfully demonstrated by the Arab Film Festival in Tübingen, southern Germany. This year, organizers screened seven films on the theme of "Arab women."
These films did not just feature women in front of the camera, but also, and in particular, women behind the camera. What emerged was a colorful and sophisticated representation of the lives of Arab women who realize their dreams and assert themselves in life. The program provided a stark contrast to the same old story of oppression.
"We wanted to offer the public the opportunity of seeing a more differentiated image of the situation of women in Arab society," explained Adwan Taleb, head of the festival.
Free expression
"In addition, we wanted to show women who live beyond all the clichés, women who have fought for their freedom and emancipation, who are politically active, and enjoy the opportunity of freely expressing themselves in their own culture and society."
No one better represents traveling on the path to free expression within one's own culture than the literature student Dunia, the main figure in the film of the same name by the Lebanese filmmaker and screenwriter Jocelyne Saab.
Dunia wants to follow in the footsteps of her mother and become an oriental dancer. With the help of the charismatic Professor Bashir, played by the well-known Egyptian singer Mohamed Mounir, she discovers Sufism as well as Arabic music and poetry. She combines these experiences in her own enlightened, perhaps even rebellious manner, thereby finding her own path in life.
Overcoming cultural barriers
Two documentary films shown at the festival have made it their concern to overcome barriers. In After the Last Sky, Alia Arasoughly and her camera follow the peace and educational work of the Palestinian woman Nahida, whose village was destroyed by the Israeli army in 1948. Nahida meets two Israeli women, who today live in this same location, and together they work at coming to terms with the past.
In her film Salata Baladi, Egyptian director Nadia Kamel tells the story of her mother, who grew up in Cairo as the daughter of a Jew and an Italian Catholic mother, and later converted to Islam after her marriage to the Egyptian author Sa'ad Kamel.
Together with her grandchild, she reconstructs the history of her family over the last 100 years and thereby turns her film into a manifesto for tolerance and diversity.
Women's stories from a beauty salon
This diversity is also present in Nadine Labaki's film Caramel (Sukkar Banat), without a doubt the highlight of the festival. The film underscores that being Arab cannot simply be equated with being Muslim, as it portrays five women of different religious and social backgrounds gathered together in a Beirut beauty salon.
Every woman develops her own personal love story:
Layal secretly meets with a married man, Nisrine is just about to get married, Rima feels attracted to other women, and Jamal wants to finally turn her dream of acting into reality. Rose, on the other hand, has to decide if she will leave Lilli, who requires her care, in order to spend the rest of her life with a charming Frenchman.
All of these stories could belong to any woman, and director Nadine Labaki thereby omits the clichés about Arab women to concentrate on the lives and loves of her characters. They don't define themselves as "Western" or "Arabic," but above all as people with typical human joys and problems.
Not least of all, the film's apt sense of humor in the portrayal of its characters probably contributed to its winning the Audience Award in San Sebastian, Spain, after its world premiere in Cannes and its being submitted by the Lebanese government for the Oscar nomination in the category of Best Foreign Language Film.

We hear a lot about how carbon dioxide emissions are warming the atmosphere and changing climate in ways that are damaging, if not catastrophic, for life on Earth.
Increasingly we are also learning about the impact of carbon dioxide on the oceans. As the sea absorbs carbon from the air its chemistry is changing, becoming more acidic. This also is likely to have a profound impact on life, experts warn.
More than 150 marine scientists from 26 countries called for immediate action by policymakers to reduce carbon dioxide emissions sharply so as to avoid widespread and severe damage to marine ecosystems from ocean acidification. They sounded the alarm in the Monaco Declaration, released Friday, according to a news release by Unesco.
Ocean acidification could affect marine food webs and lead to substantial changes in commercial fish stocks, threatening protein supply and food security for millions of people as well as the multi-billion dollar fishing industry, the Monaco Declaration says.
"Coral reefs provide fish habitat, generate billions of dollars annually in tourism, protect shorelines from erosion and flooding, and provide the foundation for tremendous biodiversity, equivalent to that found in tropical rain forests," the Declaration says.
"Yet by mid-century, ocean acidification may render most regions chemically inhospitable to coral reefs. These and other acidification related changes could affect a wealth of marine goods and services, such as our ability to use the ocean to manage waste, to provide chemicals to make new medicines, and to benefit from its natural capacity to regulate climate.
"For instance, ocean acidification will reduce the ocean's capacity to absorb anthropogenic CO2, which will exacerbate climate change."
To avoid severe and widespread damages, all of which are ultimately driven by increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), the scientists called for policymakers to act quickly to incorporate these concerns into plans to stabilize atmospheric CO2 at a safe level to avoid not only dangerous climate change but also dangerous ocean acidification.
Prince Albert II of Monaco urged political leaders to heed the Monaco Declaration as they prepare for climate negotiations at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen this year. "I strongly support this declaration, which is in full accord with my efforts and those of my Foundation to alleviate climate change," he said in a news release about the declaration.
"The chemistry is so fundamental and changes so rapid and severe that impacts on organisms appear unavoidable," said James Orr of the Marine Environment Laboratories (MEL-IAEA) and chairman of the symposium, in the same news release.
"The questions are now how bad will it be and how soon will it happen. The report from the symposium summarizes the state of the science and priorities for future research, while the Monaco Declaration implores political leaders to launch urgent actions to limit the source of the problem."
"In order to advance the science of ocean acidification, we need to bring together the best scientists to share their latest research results and to set priorities for research to improve our knowledge of the processes and of the impacts of acidification on marine ecosystems," said Patricio Bernal, executive secretary of Unesco IOC.
The Monaco Declaration is based on the Research Priorities Report developed by participants at last October's 2nd international symposium on The Ocean in a High-CO2 World, organized by Unesco's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme (IGBP), with the support of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and several other partners.

¿No tiene una cuenta? Registrarse
It is possible to write reviews about Trustmus on some terms and conditions. The reviewers must be end users and must have had live interactions with companies for products and services. Review writing is possible provided you:
Have made a purchase or enjoyed a service from any company, any organization or a web based marketer, just to name a few. They are referred to as the "Company"
Have ordered a product or service with the company with the intention of buying it.
Have documents to prove that you have used company's services and products.
Over the next few lines we will be using the term "Buying Experience" as a term encompassing the following three situations.
The review must be in relation to the buying experience which you must have gone through during the last 12 months. You are free to write about your experience. In other words you cannot be somebody who is writing on behalf of your family members or friends.
You are also not permitted to write a review of the products and services of the company if you are an employee. The same rule applies if you have the owner of the company, member of the family or executive of the organization.
You are permitted to pen only one review for each company. However, you are free to update your review in order that it takes into account the latest buying experience.
When writing a review you should ensure that it talks about the first hand Buying Experience. You must try and focus on only the pertinent points of your total Buying Experience. It should cover areas related to customer services, communication experience with the company, delivery schedules, and other such things. It should be borne in mind that Trustmus does not allow propel to use it as a platform for reviewing products or reviewing websites. It is plain and simple a platform where purchased products can be reviewed and customers can talk about the efficacy and use or otherwise of the same. It is basically product Buying Experience.
There are no laid down procedures by which reviews are monitored on Trustmus. But there is an option by which readers can report about a review. It is therefore not uncommon to receive notice from companies expressing their reservations about reviews not being in line with stipulated guidelines. If such reviews are reported and the reasons are not exactly unjustifiable, then we may ask for modification of the review so that it falls in line with our Guidelines. However, the review might not have enough reasons for complete rejection. Here are a few such occasions where modification might be asked for:
The review talks about the functionality of the product purchased or about the layout of the website.
The review is not exaggerated and is based on ethical and other value based positions instead of Buying Experience.
If the review contains rough or coarse language and has a racial or sexist character.
If your review contains information that is personal in nature, such as name, phone number, address, email details, credit/debit card information which could compromise the safety and security of the individual, then you are bound under the agreement to modify and remove the reviews. References to other websites and companies may also be removed and this could include links. Blanks are used to replace removed information. No other alterations will be made to your review.
As the main rule we do not believe in removing reviews from our site. However, if the reviews are grossly in violation of our guidelines or in violation of the law of the land, we have the right to remove such reviews. Here are a few examples where removal is possible:
Violation of Guidelines and Terms & Conditions could be a reason for removal, especially if you do not alter the review within the time period allotted to you. Further if the review is not talking about actual Buying Experience (clause 6-7 below) or if the review is about fine or tax which has been imposed. If you review violates the companies' and individual's basic rights and if it infringes on intellectual property rights, or privacy/confidentiality, then it can be removed. Your reviews should have a marketing nature or purpose attached to it. If you happen to be the competitor of the product or service being reviewed, then too it can be removed.
A Few More Reasons
You were or are an employee of the company's product which you have review or if you are owner of the company or a close relative or executive of the company. You could have a review which is in violation of applications regulations and laws. Further you could have created multiple reviews of the same Company and that too quite a few times. We could also remove the review if the automated internal assessment procedures find it not in compliance with guidelines, terms and conditions and local laws. We might remove reviews if there is no Buying Experience proof and if the reviewer does not comply with our request to produce the same.
If there is disagreement between you and the Company regarding chronology of events.
If the situations are such that it could be difficult who is in the wrong or who is the right.
In such situations we ask the Company to send replies for such reviews so that others are able to have a look at their versions.
If your review has a star rating which is diametrically opposite to the review.
If your review is considered unfair because of a mistake made by the supplier. You as a reviewer have a right to feel dissatisfied and we have no ground to judge whether such dissatisfaction is right or not. The matter has to be solved between the stakeholders, i.e. the reviewers and the Company.
You could have a situation where the Company you have reviewed could have changed ownership.
It is quite possible that we may ask you to give us proof of Buying Experience with the Company which you have reviewed. This could happen if the Company writes to us that such Buying Experience has never taken place or if your internal fraud detection mechanism finds that buying may not have happened. In such instances an email will be sent to you and the onus lies on you to prove the buying experience proof within a stipulated time period. The Buying Experience must be up to 12 months as on the date on which the review has been posted. The documentation sent to us will not be shared with third parties that could include the reviewed Company. However, it is possible that we could share your ID number to the Company, unless you specifically ask us not to do so.
The main objective of Trustmus is to come out with a platform where free sharing of Buying Experiences is possible. This will help in giving an honest and informative feedback of the Company's product and services. We believe that trust is important and therefore under no circumstances can we accepted fabricated and false reviews. In other words such reviews could be in contravention to genuine Buying Experience. We consider such false & fabricated reviews violation of the Terms & Conditions and we have a zero tolerance policy on this.
We have advanced software to find out reviews that are fabricated. Such wrong and false reports could lead to its removal of the review and also your account could be blocked. You could also be reported against to the concerned authorities.

We are very strict about fabricated reviews and investigate them thoroughly. We know this is not an easy task and therefore we request you to provide as much documentation as possible to substantiate your claim that the review is fabricated.
We are within our rights to change Guidelines having future effect. We will keep you informed through our Website regarding these changes. By continuously posting modified reviews, we assume that you have accepted the modified guidelines.

Until last week, 2011 seemed to be the year of the empowered female. won the Nobel Peace Prize; not one but two women were appointed to the position of CEO for two of the world's largest technology brands; the Commonwealth leaders agreed to give girls equal rights to the British throne; and even Beyoncé became the first woman to headline at Glastonbury in the past 40 years.
However, the World Economic Forum's annual Global Gender Gap Report, which launched in New York last week, brought a new take to the picture and underlined that women still fall massively behind in gender equality. Maybe it's because I was brought-up in the Destiny's Child era, or perhaps it's Serbian tenacity kicking in, but in this day and age, how have we not moved forward and why are we still facing such inequalities when there are much more pressing matters that both men and women could resolve by working together as equals?
The report highlighted that women hold fewer than 20 per cent of all decision-making national positions, and little advances in economic and political parity have been made since the first report was published in 2006. The UK, specifically, ranked 33rd for economic participation and opportunity, and the outcome was that more needs to be done by governments and the private sector to support and leverage female successes, and to implement policies to promote women's economic and political roles.
This was closely followed by the Fawcett Report – A Life Raft for Women's Equality – which was released on Friday, suggesting that women's financial security and human rights are "under attack on a scale not seen in living memory due to the coalition's austerity measures." Talk about a bleak week.
It certainly set the scene for Theresa May's announcement at the Royal Commonwealth Society on Friday, where she launched a package of measures that aspires to help women 'fulfil their potential' in business, through a £2m scheme that will see 5,000 volunteer mentors trained by next year to become role models for female entrepreneurs. She said, "For too long, as a country, we have failed to make the most of the skills, experience and talents of women and despite the difficult decisions that need to be taken, there is much we can do to make sure that our economy emerges stronger and fairer, and operates in the interests of the working majority."
It certainly sounds like a step in the right direction, but I wish it was a leap, and a giant one at that. It will certainly be interesting to see what the conclusion is in another five years; whether we'll have put this one to bed or will it continue to haunt?

Reloading Equipment
Reloading or "handloading" is the process of loading shotgun or rifle shells by assembling the various components designed for this purpose and typically involves a case or shell, primer, powder, and bullet. Shotgun ammunition will involve the shell or hull, a primer, wading and shot or slugs.The process has been around since the beginning of the cartridge based firearms era. People re-load ammunition to save money and to create specialty loads designed for various purposes. Reloaders will often make smaller quantities of ammo and with a specific purpose like improving accuracy. Reloading also guarantees you a steady supply of the ammo you need when you need it as commercial supplies sometimes cannot meet the needs of the shooting community. Weapons World sells reloading equipment from top brands like Hornady and RCBS. If your looking for powder funnels, plastic ammo boxes, bullet puller, rotary trimmers, reloading dies or a reloading press you will find great prices and selection right here.

Miranda Ain't Broke
The Federalist Society has a podcast up, Miranda & Terror Suspects, debating whether terrorism suspects should be given Miranda warnings. University of Utah law professors Paul Cassell and Amos Guiora debate the issue, and Richard D. Klingler of Sidley Austin LLP moderates. Cassell provides a slideshow to go with the audio file.
Listening to the podcast, I'm struck at how so many of the concerns cited by Cassell are already dealt with by existing case law. The Quarles case created a "public safety" exception to Miranda that allows officers to ask questions without giving Miranda warnings when there is an ongoing threat to public safety. In Quarles, a revolver hidden in a supermarket was enough to create the exception.
As I wrote at Townhall.com in August, the "public safety" exception has already been applied broadly in the terrorism context in United States v. Khalil:
In 1997, NYPD officers raided an apartment where two men had constructed pipe bombs and planned to detonate them on a subway or bus terminal. During the raid, the police shot and wounded the bomb maker as he lunged for a black bag containing the explosives.
After bomb technicians discovered that a switch on one of the pipe bombs had been flipped, officers questioned the wounded bomb maker about the number of bombs, how many switches had to be flipped to set them off, whether there was a timer, what wires to cut to disarm them, and whether they were intended as suicide devices. The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit let all of the answers come into evidence via the public safety exception.
The public safety exception is settled law and has been ruled on by every federal circuit and over half the states, allowing police to deal with all manner of emergencies. Courts have allowed questions about the existence or location of guns, bombs, assault or kidnapping victims still in danger, accomplices and their identities, and plans for future crimes.
Add to this the fact that statements given before Miranda warnings are still admissible to impeach a suspect who changes his story when he gets to court, and that physical evidence obtained without Miranda warnings remains admissible.
So, here's a practical proposal: the above list ought to be distributed to counterterrorism task forces across the nation. Instead of spending time and energy on a measure that is out of Congress' power, have government lawyers create a pamphlet to educate the local, state and federal officers who will capture tomorrow's aspiring terrorist. Boil down the law to bullet points and put it on a business card so that they have it on hand when the next emergency unfolds. That's a tool first responders can use.

Muddy Paintball in FiveFingers
By Justin on Mar 5, 2013 | In User Stories | 1 comment »
This is the muddiest photo of FiveFingers I think I've ever seen.
What's the story? Enter Michael, who picked up his pair of TrekSports as an all-purpose pair of toe shoes though he specifically planned to use them for paintball:
I've been trying to paintball regularly for a year or so now, something more active then my usual regime of computer games and TV. I'd scoffed at Vibrams the first time I saw them, but the more and more I spotted people wearing them the more I wanted to at least try them on.
Once I started paintball I figured I'd finally had a real excuse to have wear them passed the novelty so I was on a mission to eventually own my own pair. A few months ago I was able to venture to my local Hikers Haven and try on as many pairs as would fit, finally deciding that a pair of KSO Treksport would be the best for the job (as well as seemed to be the only pair that would fit my APPARENTLY abnormally tall dorsal area of my feet). Unfortunately they were lacking on my perfect size and I was lacking in actual funds.
Skip ahead a few months and a new job gave me the opportunity I needed to snag me a pair. They instantly turned into the comfiest and most expensive pair of slippers I'd ever owned.
Eventually I got the chance to head back out for paintball. I generally try to go on dry days, as I hate getting mucky (a bit of an oxymoron when paintballing), but of course that morning was a downpour, leaving the field a minefield of puddles and mud. Within the first 15 minutes of arriving, we had to walk about 50 meters through a river of inch deep mud. At that point I tossed my inhibitions to the wind and had a great time being a mudder. It was of course still winter and the puddles were cold, but the pair of Injinji socks I was wearing were able to keep me warm enough.
I'm convinced that I was more agile, less tired, and much more happy wearing the Five Fingers than I would have been wearing my usual clunky Merrell sneakers, which would have been impossible to clean.
I'll be bringing my Vibrams with me to every paintball day, and hopefully will start doing more things to wear them more often.
Michael T. - Toronto
Glad you've found some use for them!
All that talk about mud reminds me of Stuart running his 255km jungle marathon in Spyridons.
Thanks for sharing, Michael!

As a moderate myself, let me tell you that some of the rumors about us are true. We are smarter than you ideologues and partisans out there. We're wiser. More thoughtful. And -- this is true, I swear -- more attractive to members of the opposite sex. (Notice that NBC hasn't posted a photo of me yet? Well, let's just say I couldn't handle all the unsolicited love letters.)
All that said, the other rumors are false. We can't fly simply by flapping our arms. We can't leap tall buildings in a single bound. And it's been a couple thousand election cycles since a moderate turned water into wine. Since we live by the same rules of physics as you lesser mortals do, there's also this limitation: Moderates have no special powers to balance budgets and find more money for schools in California's broken governing system. No one can do that. The system makes it too hard.
Unfortunately, the theory underpinning most high-profile efforts on reform is that moderates are like the disguised-as-human superheroes played by Will Smith and Charlize Theron in the movie Hancock. The theory is: If you create a new election system that puts more moderates in office, they'll somehow -- presumably via their special magic -- make everything work better. That was the premise of Prop 11, the victorious 2008 ballot initiative to change how legislative districts are drawn in the hopes of creating more competition and electing more moderates. And that's the logic behind Prop 14, the measure on the June 8 ballot to change the rules of primary elections.
Even if these measure end up producing more moderates (as the brilliant and beautiful -- she must be a moderate -- Marianne Kushi of NBC San Diego argued here), the whips and chains that make up the Sacramento budget ratchet -- and make governance impossible -- remain. Moderate legisaltors are going to be just as frustrated as conservatives and liberals -- perhaps more so, given their inclination to compromise -- by the California constitutional restrictions that limit their ability to raise taxes while requiring them to spend money even when the state doesn't have it.
Let's say a new group of strong moderates in the legislature -- let's be optimistic, and say a dozen have been elected -- want to balance the budget with a mix of tax increases and spending cuts. The 2/3 supermajority requirement remains the same stubborn obstacle it always was, making it easy for relatively small groups of liberals to block the spending cuts and of conservatives to block any tax increases.
Or let's say the moderates want to make education funding more rational. That's nearly impossible because Prop 98, the education funding guarantee, has complex formulas that can't be altered (except by the voters). In fact, voters have locked in place so many pieces of the budget -- local government funds, transportation money, the lottery, mental health funding, after school programs, early childhood education -- that moderates won't be able to do very much at all.
Heck, any moderate would, by definition, be smart enough to avoid Sacramento at all costs, no matter what the election rules are.

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Everybody's in the pool.
Mike Krzyzewski joined The Gridlock on ESPN Radio Las Vegas to speak more broadly about his experience coaching Team USA. He opened up about how he looks to use egos to his advantage rather than squash them, and spoke about why he doesn't consider the final roster decision to be a cut down.
On his experience as the coach of the United States men's national basketball team:
"It's been the best thing that's happened to me in my career, and I've had a lot of unbelievable things happen in my career. But to be the head coach of the United States team is the ultimate honor. And then, the success we've had in the last two competitions, with the Olympics and the World Championship, were two of the great events that could ever happen. We're hoping to do that again in London, but the competition will be very tough."
On how he's controlled the egos on the team in years past:
"We don't subscribe to the theory about leaving their egos at the door. We want them to bring their egos inside the room - we just don't want them to play for Laker ego, Heat ego. We want those egos. We want them to be who they are, wearing the USA jersey. And they've done that, because they know they're part of something bigger than them. Sometimes even on their own teams, they are the team or they're the franchise player or the face of the organization, and when they're with the US team, no one is bigger than the US. And so they like being a part of that and they also like playing with other outstanding talents. Kobe (Bryant) enjoys playing with LeBron (James) and Dwyane (Wade), and to have Kevin Durant in there, and all of a sudden you have Chris Paul and Deron Williams and these guys being point guards. And it brings out new things for them. To me it's been a great experience for everybody involved."
On why he doesn't technically feel as though he has to cut players in the program:
"Well you don't let anybody go. They all are part of our pool, and guys who have been on our select team have been in the pool. Our guys like Kevin Durant, (Derrick) Rose, (Kevin) Love, (Russell) Westbrook. Part of it is just it may not be your turn yet. And that's what it means about being in a program. We have a program, so you're constantly training new guys to take the place of others. So we never look at this as like a cut. There are 12 guys that we have to select - two of the guys that we don't select might be starters on our World Championship team in '14. And that's the atmosphere that we want to do this with."

Skateboarding's popularity has soared in the last few decades, and offshoots like longboarding and mountain-boarding are becoming more common.
But skateboarding also can be an easy way for kids to get hurt, particularly if they skate in the wrong place or don't wear protective gear. Scrapes and bruises are almost a fact of skateboarding life, and broken bones and sprains are also common.
To keep it safe while skateboarding, kids should follow these rules and safety tips.
It's easy for riders to lose their balance when riding a skateboard. And every fall brings the chance of injury. Some of those injuries are severe, and skateboarders have been killed by head injuries and collisions with cars.
Kids and beginners are the most likely to get hurt. More than half of skateboard injuries happen to people under the age of 15. A third happen to those who have been skateboarding less than a week.
Experienced skaters get hurt, too. As the difficulty of tricks increases, so does the risk of injury, and things like rocks and poor riding surfaces are always a threat.
It may seem like all that's needed to start skateboarding is a board and an attitude — until the first wipeout. Asphalt, concrete, wood, and other common riding surfaces have one thing in common: none are soft. Helmets are a must for all skateboarders, and all beginners should use pads until they gain more experience.
Here are some of the things a rider will need to get started:
Where to ride may be the single most important decision skateboarders make, as far as safety is concerned. Rough riding surfaces are responsible for more than half of skateboarding injuries.
Initial skating will probably be in the driveway or a skate park. Wherever your child rides, make sure the area is free of rocks, sticks, and other objects. Teach your child to look out for potentially dangerous cracks in the surface before riding, and make sure there is no chance of an encounter with a car.
The greatest threat to skateboarders is cars. Falls hurt, but they are rarely fatal. Collisions with large objects, however, can kill. Kids should never ride in the street.
The better shape kids are in, the better they'll be at all athletic activities, not just skateboarding. Encourage your kids to eat right and exercise regularly. They also should warm up and stretch before skating, especially their backs, legs and ankles.
Any place kids skate should be dry and cleared of anything that might interfere with the board's wheels.
Before they start skating, teach kids to be sure it's their turn and that no one is in the way. Collisions can happen if skaters don't communicate. And they should never ride with someone else on their skateboard. One rider per board, period.
Kids will fall while skateboarding. That much is a given. To minimize injury, they should follow these tips:
Young skateboarders should:
Skateboarding is great way for kids to have fun and feel a sense of accomplishment. There's nothing like mastering a new trick to feel a surge of self-confidence and pride. With lots of practice and common safety sense, someday they might be the ones doing the kick-flips and spins and owning the skate park!

bug, a photo by Chase Alias :)(: on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
When Chase Alias first Posted this Social Commentary Artwork "Bug Chaser" He Would Have Never Imagined That He would Become the Target of an Evil Vindictive Bug Chase!
But who is to blame. Chase Alias has found himself in an awful position this morning. He has been in a loving monogamous relationship of over a year. At the beginning of the relationship both partners did the responsible thing or so he thought/ They both went to the same doctor and supposedly both had HIV tests.
Chase Alias' test came back negative and that was great. His partners came back not detected and Chase was told by the doctor that meant negative so he took that as the truth. Recently his partner had a new test. Again it came back not detected but Chase was weary this time and questioned it. The test not only said not detected it said .2 within range. Turns out both test his partner had were viral load tests and the doctor knew this. It also turns out that Chase' partner has about 20 years of nto detected viral load tests and he says "No one ever told him he was positive."
Who is Chase supposed to believe? What should he do? This is a cry for help!!!!!!!!! :():

Quote: Infantry huh? You really do want to get into the mix. Get ready to be deployed often. Hope you don't plan on raising a family. The Army is not family oriented imo. p.s. infantrymen need to be in the best shape. You are going to be lugging around about 80lbs on your back for miles. p.s.s.

Nintendo likes to prioritize their screenshots by what they consider to be the best images to use when discussing their games.
Last year we looked at what Nintendo's favorite and least favorite screenshots post-E3 were, according to the notes in their batch of press kits. It seemed like angle-choice, depth of background action and color appeal were the determining factors for which was the best and which was the worst.
Now that another year of E3 has come and gone, Nintendo's latest batch of press kits dictate the same instructions as last year, hoping that we will abide by their priority numbers in selecting screenshots on the site.
Browse through the gallery to check out what Nintendo considers to be their least and most favorite screenshots. First up is New Super Mario Bros. U. What do you say? Does one side look more appealing than the other? Was Nintendo's judgment call accurate?
Game & Wario
LEGO City: Undercover
Nintendo Land
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
This was the only one that didn't have a "1" priority attached to it. The best is scored as "2," though this could've been a typo.

Dear Hungry Girl, While I love my family's recipes (they've been passed down from generation to generation), a lot of them call for rich and fatty ingredients... I'm sure these dishes are loaded with calories! How can I make them lighter? Recipe Remaker
Hi Recipe Remaker,
Great question! Like many people, I've got plenty of family favorites that, while delicious, are pretty far from guilt-free. Thankfully, there are some fantastic ingredient swaps that can easily slim down traditional recipes. Check 'em out... Instead of sweet potatoes... Try butternut squash! The taste and texture are very similar to sweet potatoes, but the squash is much lower in starchy carbs. It's perfect for casseroles like this sweet potato pie swap! Click here for helpful info when it comes to working with the big orange gourd. Instead of eggs... Break out the fat-free liquid egg substitute! This is one of the most seamless, simple, and effective swaps you can make. Just replace each egg in a recipe with 1/4 cup of the substitute. You'll save around 45 calories and 5g fat for each egg you swap out, and those numbers add up fast! Egg Beaters Original is my go-to egg substitute. It's essentially egg whites with a few added nutrients. Use it in pretty much any recipe that calls for eggs. Click here for more details! Instead of regular ground beef... Go for extra-lean ground beef, lean ground turkey, or ground-beef-style soy crumbles (like the kind by Boca or MorningStar Farms). Extra-lean beef (4% fat or less) will save you major calories and fat while maintaining that real beef flavor. The lean turkey (7% fat or less) is also an excellent guilt-free alternative. The soy crumbles will slim down your dish the most, and they have a great beefy taste -- just thaw them, season them, and use like cooked ground beef! Click for more info on all three alternatives. Instead of dairy milk... Check out unsweetened almond milk, light soymilk, or another low-calorie milk swap. (Click here for more!) I love using Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze in place of milk in dessert recipes. It has 40 calories and 3.5g fat per cup, compared to the 150 calories and 8g fat in a cup of full-fat (whole) dairy milk. There's a plain version of Unsweetened Almond Breeze, by the way. Great for savory recipes! Pretty much the only place you can't use almond milk or soymilk instead of dairy milk is in puddings and custards... The milk swaps won't "set" like dairy milk. In those cases, use fat-free dairy milk, which has about 90 calories a cup. Instead of granulated white sugar… Consider a no-calorie granulated sweetener, like Splenda or Stevia In The Raw. Granulated sweeteners are different from the packeted products. They're specifically meant to measure cup-for-cup like real sugar. And while they do have some calories (a full cup of Splenda No Calorie Sweetener has about 96 calories), the savings are still pretty major -- a cup of granulated sugar has almost 800 calories! Since sugar substitutes can alter the taste of a recipe, you might want to swap out just half of the sugar. More light ingredients to try! Trade out full-fat dairy items and condiments -- cheese, sour cream, mayo, etc. -- for fat-free or low-fat versions. And fat-free Greek yogurt makes an excellent sour cream swap! For creamy condensed soups, check out Campbell's 98% fat-free options. And always spritz your pots and pans with nonstick cooking spray instead of coating them with oil or butter. By the way, there's an entire episode of Hungry Girl about revamping "Mom's Favorites" -- click for those recipes!

Drug crime sends first-time offender grandmom to prison for life
Houstonian, who has no secrets to trade, is doing more time than drug lords
FORT WORTH - The U.S. government didn't offer a reward for the capture of Houston grandmother Elisa Castillo, nor did it accuse her of touching drugs, ordering killings, or getting rich off crime.
But three years after a jury convicted her in a conspiracy to smuggle at least a ton of cocaine on tour buses from Mexico to Houston, the 56-year-old first-time offender is locked up for life - without parole.
"It is ridiculous," said Castillo, who is a generation older than her cell mates, and is known as "grandma" at the prison here. "I am no one."
Convicted of being a manager in the conspiracy, she is serving a longer sentence than some of the hemisphere's most notorious crime bosses - men who had multimillion-dollar prices on their heads before their capture.
The drug capos had something to trade: the secrets of criminal organizations. The biggest drug lords have pleaded guilty in exchange for more lenient sentences.
Castillo said she has nothing to offer in a system rife with inconsistencies and behind-the-scenes scrambling that amounts to a judicial game of Let's Make A Deal.
"Our criminal justice system is broke; it needs to be completely revamped," declared Terry Nelson, who was a federal agent for over 30 years and is on the executive board of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. "They have the power, and if you don't play the game, they'll throw the book at you."
Castillo maintains her innocence, saying she was tricked into unknowingly helping transport drugs and money for a big trafficker in Mexico. But she refused to plead guilty and went to trial.
In 2010, of 1,766 defendants prosecuted for federal drug offenses in the Southern District of Texas - a region that reaches from Houston to the border - 93.2 percent pleaded guilty rather than face trial, according to the U.S. government. Ten defendants were acquitted at trial. Also, 82 saw their cases dismissed.
The statistics are similar nationwide.
The latest case in point came this week with the negotiated surrender of a Colombian drug boss Javier Calle Serna, whom the United States accuses of shipping at least 30 tons of cocaine.
While how much time Calle will face is not known publicly, he likely studied other former players, including former Gulf Cartel lord Osiel Cardenas Guillen.
Cardenas once led one of Mexico's most powerful syndicates and created the Zetas gang. He pleaded guilty in Houston and is to be released by 2025. He'll be 57.
As the federal prison system has no parole, Castillo has no prospect of ever going home.
"Any reasonable person would look at this and say, 'God, are you kidding?' " said attorney David Bires, who represented Castillo on an unsuccessful appeal. "It is not right."
Castillo's elderly mother in Mexico has not been told she's serving life, and her toddler grandson thinks she's in the hospital when he comes to visit her in prison.
Castillo is adamant about her innocence.
"Put yourself in my shoes. When you are innocent, you are innocent," she said. "I don't say I am perfect. I am not … but I can guarantee you 100 percent that I am innocent of this."
At the urging of her boyfriend, Martin Ovalle, Castillo became partners with a smooth-talking Mexican resident who said he wanted to set up a Houston-based bus company.
But the buses were light on passengers and shuttled thousands of pounds of cocaine into the United States and millions of dollars back to Mexico. Her lawyers argued she was naive.
Castillo claims she didn't know about the drug operation, but agents said she should have known something was wrong when quantities of money and drugs were repeatedly found on the coaches.
"After hearing all the evidence as presented from both the government and defense in this case, the jury found her guilty … ," said Kenneth Magidson, chief prosecutor here.
Former federal prosecutor Mark W. White III said if Castillo had something to share, she might have benefited from a sentence reduction for cooperating.
"Information is a cooperating defendant's stock in trade," White said, "and if you don't have any, … the chances are you won't get a good deal."
Castillo has faith that she'll somehow, some day, go free. Her daily routine doesn't vary: when she eats breakfast, when she works, when she exercises, and when she brushes her hair, which has gone from red-blond to black and gray. The gray gets respect in prison.
"I will leave here one day with my head held high," she said. "I don't feel like a bug or a cockroach. I am a human being, with my feet firmly on the ground."

The structural calculation using finite elements, such as beams, brings about the introduction of a series of parameters including the shear centre and the shear and torsion factors. This plugin calculates, other than all inertial parameters (mass gravity center, inertial moments, etc.), these factors for generic cross-sections that are connected, but are free from detached cross-sections (typically cross-sections made from steel), whose surroundings (external and internal) are in staggered lines, thus providing an automatic calculation procedure through the solution to the two Neumann boundary value conditions related to shear and torsion stresses. The solution to the problem also allows the calculation of the values of the tangential tensions coming from these stresses. SPC for Rhino permits to show the torsion displacement diagram and the tangential tensions flow lines diagram.

WHAT IS IT? Atlas is the latest company to design, develop and sell a neck brace in what is a hotly contested and relatively new market.
CONTACT? www.atlasbrace.com or (661) 505-4407.
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's a list of things that stand out with the Atlas neck brace.
(1) Concept. The Atlas neck brace is the brainchild of former professional racer Brady Sheren. Brady believes in neck-brace protection, but he thought that he could create a better design than what was being sold. Enter Atlas. Brady's neck brace doesn't differ from other rigid-body-construction braces in terms of limiting neck mobility and mitigating serious neck injuries by dispersing energy upon impact. It is, however, much closer in design philosophy to the Omega than to the Leatt. At first glance, it's easy to note the unusual frame shape. The back section is comprised of two "feet" that are separated. These support structures rest on either side of the spine. Why? Brady doesn't think it's wise to have any material resting on the spinal column. This design allows each side of the brace to act independently from the other, providing a more comfortable and secure fit. A tether prevents the brace from separating in a crash. Brady also focused on reducing potential load energy to the sternum, which is why the brace's front section has two wide feet that rest on either side of the sternum.
(2) Construction. The Atlas frame is polycarbonate and shatter-resistant. Brady uses soft-density TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) on the front and rear contact points and dense foam along the shoulders. These materials are waterproof and easy to clean with soapy water. Atlas includes additional shoulder risers that can be installed for a customized fit. (Test riders with longer necks used the risers.) The brace is rather heavy (2 pounds) compared to the ultra-sleek carbon fiber Leatt GPX Pro (1.4 pounds), but expect to see a carbon fiber frame in the Atlas line before too long. During pre-pro testing they discovered that they had a chemical reaction weakening the pieces?so they changed suppliers and formulas before any braces were sold?although Jake Weimer was forced to quit wearing his Atlas brace for one race before they got it all straightened out.
(3) Fitting. Unlike the Alpinestars and Leatt braces (which use a latch to open the brace) or the Omega (which slides on, thanks to a wide opening at the front of the brace), the Atlas brace slides down over your head. The Atlas doesn't feel altogether different from the Leatt brace while riding, except that the back section of the Atlas sweeps lower, and the thoracic supports sit away from the spine. This design is offroad- and Supercross-friendly (since riders must tilt their heads back to look far down the trail or through whoops). Pro-level testers not only loved the lower back section, but also thought that the frame sat lower and was less obtrusive. It should be noted that the Atlas brace is sold in small, medium and large sizes. Each brace can be customized for every size and shape of rider. (A medium frame can be combined with a small front section.) The brace comes with a strap system and a carrying bag. We particularly like that the Atlas brace can be removed after a crash by simply pulling a quick release clip on the front and sliding the bolt out horizontally. We were able to remove the brace from a test rider in 20 seconds.
(4) Protection. We believe neck braces can limit catastrophic neck injuries. The Atlas brace provides a support structure for your neck and is aimed at dispersing energy in the event of a crash. We like the split rear design, as the brace doesn't rest on the spinal column. The Atlas brace addresses several complaints that we have had with neck braces. The emergency removal system is also an excellent concept. It is important to note that a neck brace is a catastrophic injury device. Its sole purpose is to prevent the risk of a broken neck. It doesn't do anything else.
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? We have two quibbles: (1) At 2 pounds, the Atlas brace is heavy. (2) Due to the two wings on the rear, it will be difficult to fit the Atlas under some chest protectors.
The Atlas addresses many of the complaints that non-brace wearers have when they try out a neck brace. These features were enough to convert several nonbelievers.

"For development of scanning probe microscopy through numerous inventions and improvements that led to its commercialization, and for providing a role model of the physicist entrepreneur."Background:
Elings managed to lead a fairly zig-zag path through life ending up as what he calls a lavender and pig farmer. Educationally, he started in a trade high school in Iowa, went into mechanical engineering at Iowa State, and then physics at MIT. He taught at the University of California, Santa Barbara for 20 some years, most of the time in a Masters Degree program in Scientific Instrumentation which he started in 1971. Elings started Digital Instruments in 1987 during a leave of absence, with one of his former students, Gus Gurley, to make control electronics for these new fangled scanning tunneling microscopes. At the encouragement of UCSB, he quit and did the business thing. Starting with a personal philosophy that you cant know what you are doing, they made Digital the worlds leader in scanning probe microscope development and manufacturing. It turned out that they didnt know what they were doing, but then neither did anyone else. The path to present Atomic Force Microsopes (AFMs) was as random as the rest of his life. He retired to a ranch to feed his horses, cows and pigs, and try to figure out what to do with 15 tons of lavender every year. AFMs were easier.

Lots of people know about stents. They're the tiny wire-mesh coils used to prop open arteries.
What most people don't know is that the type widely used now — drug-eluting stents — were developed with funding from the American Heart Association.
Dr. Andrew R. Marks is the researcher credited with this medical advance. He's chairman/professor of physiology and cellular biophysics at Columbia University Medical Center.
When a coronary artery is narrowed by fatty deposits called plaque, blood flow is reduced. Chest pain or a heart attack can result. To prevent this, the narrowed artery can be opened with angioplasty (a balloon-tipped catheter that's inflated to compress the plaque). After the catheter is withdrawn, a stent can be placed to hold the artery open.
Before Marks' innovation, stents were made of bare metal. Unfortunately, in about one in four cases, fatty plaques would build up again where the bare metal stent was placed, narrowing the artery in a matter of months. Bypass surgery, which is more expensive and harder on patients, often then became the only option.
Dr. Marks developed a slow-release drug called rapamycin to coat stents and inhibit restenosis. Now restenosis occurs in less than 10 percent of cases.
Today Dr. Marks is working on a drug to prevent sudden death from arrhythmia. The drug has shown promise in mice, but hasn't yet been tested on people.
"AHA should take credit for this work. I have always been supported by AHA, and that support was instrumental in my development as a scientist."
