Any chance you could find out which tool he is using? Two more common ones are the SCUT and the MACE (I don't remember what they stand for) and I know there are others.
I wrote to ask and will update with a response when I have one.

Dog Rick, here's the answer, paraphrased:
It's called axon testing. It tests the same cognitive domains as impact testing but is shorter and simpler. 'It is basically computerized neuropsychological testing.'

LATimes: Damage occuring earlier than realized

A yearlong study of boxers' and mixed martial-arts fighters' brain activity has found those who fight for more than six years begin to experience damage and those who fight longer than 12 years expose themselves to an even greater decline each time they return to the ring.
"What we've found suggests changes and damage in the brain happens years before symptoms emerge," said Dr. Charles Bernick, author of the study. "It's what we see in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients."
Bernick has supervised MRIs and computerized and cognitive tests of an estimated 170 fighters at the Cleveland Clinic's Las Vegas center in the past year. He will present his findings to the American Academy of Neurology this week in New Orleans.
"If we're going to protect these athletes, we need to follow them earlier in their course," Bernick said.
Currently, fighters are required to undergo only one brain MRI test, which could be taken at the beginning of their career. State commissions can request an additional MRI if they're alarmed by a fighter's age, performance or behavior. But pinpointing when to stop a fight remains an undefined point of discretion.
With his research, Bernick was hoping to help establish the threshold neurologists can use to determine the start of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease.
CTE emerges in those who suffer multiple concussions and other brain damage that comes with being punched in the head. Symptoms of CTE include memory loss, aggression and difficulty thinking.
Bernick said the study found fighters begin losing brain volume as brain cells die after six years of fighting.
Fighters who commit to the Cleveland Clinic program get free MRI tests, but must agree to return annually for monitoring.
"We still need to follow these guys over time," Bernick said. "If someone's having damage, a commission might want to limit the number of fights he has. There is a hierarchy of protective things, interventions to help. This is still being sorted out.
"We are looking at this 'threshold effect.' How much punishment can a brain take? What are the markers we can see for long-term problems?"
The study received a $12-million boost in funding earlier this year from a Las Vegas dinner and auction. One of the highlights of the night was Ultimate Fighting Championship Chairman Lorenzo Fertitta outbidding Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, spending $1.1 million for a pair of autographed gloves belonging to Muhammad Ali.

There are many things to love about football. For kids, it builds confidence. It promotes teamwork. It is fun. It is a physical game but it is a cerebral one, too. The bonds guys make playing football last a lifetime.
The questions for those who play are how long is that lifetime and what does it look like at age 40 or 50 or 60?
For the men who play in the NFL, the questions become more serious. Can you find your keys or remember you mom's phone number when you are 38? Do you have searing headaches? Are you depressed? Can you walk?

Woof all - here's a couple links to something that I think will fairly rapidly become a standard in youth sports and hopefully all contact sports. I think within a couple years you will see this as a required part of athletic physicals, certainly for contact sports. I think that smart gym owners will start obtaining baselines to show responsibility and concern (attorneys might argue not to, as this could provide documentation of what is otherwise a subjective injury; they may be right but I hope the best defense is to do the right thing). The big problem with the test is that to be really effective you need a baseline BEFORE injury for each individual, and access to that number on the sideline rapidly. I think football team rosters or team trainers in the future will have a new baseline on each player each season and have it available at the sidelines as routine operating procedure. It is easy to do and only takes 3-5 minutes max once you have it down.
Here's a link to the King-Devick test itself.
This is available as an app - I carry it on my iPhone, although the best version is to do on iPad.
Here's a link to a peer reviewed medical journal article suporting effectiveness.

Woof all -
as I noted above, the iPad version is a lot better than the iPhone version - as it turns out, that's because the iPhone version is not intended for actually administering the test, just as a timer/scoring device - the test needs to be administered with cards, iPad or computer and the iPhone app is strictly for obtaining the score in time and errors. Seems the King Devick people ran across the video and sent word to Guro Crafty and me to notify us of the error! Mea culpa, but I'm still playing with this and learning it myself. For those who are interested , here is the official demo site for videos of how to perform properly.
If they can ultimately get a handheld version, I suspect that will be even more useful at the sidelines in realtime, but it isn't here yet.

You're being humble and polite here. As best as I can tell THEY glitched a bit with how they presented the info; I trust that given the experience with us they will be clarifying things so that more folks do not understandably come to the same conclusion you did.

Dying to Play
By KEVIN COOK
Published: September 11, 2012
THE beating goes on. This past Saturday a Tulane University football player, Devon Walker, collided with a teammate while making a tackle. Walker, who is 21, broke his neck. Fans gasped. Doctors performed C.P.R. He may or may not walk again.
The incident was an urgent reminder of a problem that even the National Football League seems finally ready to acknowledge: all that on-field headbanging is taking a serious toll.
Just three days earlier, the N.F.L. said that it would donate $30 million to the National Institutes of Health to support research on brain injuries and other serious medical conditions prominent in athletes an announcement that came hours before the Giants and Cowboys kicked off the 2012-13 season in a festive, nationally televised event that drew more than 20 million viewers. (For comparison, that rivals the number of Americans who tuned in to Bill Clintons speech at the Democratic National Convention the same night.)
Earlier that day, the journal Neurology carried the results of a study of 3,439 retired pro football players. It reported that veterans of N.F.L. combat are more likely than the rest of us to die from brain diseases including Alzheimers, Parkinsons and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known as Lou Gehrigs disease. Not 50 percent more likely, or twice as likely, but three to four times more likely.
Americas ready for some football, but the human brain may never be.
More than 3,000 former players have sued the N.F.L., charging that the league failed to inform them of the dangers they faced, to protect them against concussions and to provide health care. Those men played in the years when nobody talked about getting concussed. You got your bell rung, your clock cleaned. You got nuked or blown up. You got your head handed to you. And unless you liked being called frilly names, you got back on the field as soon as you could locate it.
We know more about concussions today, but not how to prevent them. No helmet can offer much help, since the injury occurs when a fast-moving body suddenly stops or changes direction. The brain keeps moving until it collides with the inside of the skull, causing damage that can lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or C.T.E.
Sports sciences next frontier may be discovering why some brains are so vulnerable to concussions while others seem resistant. Meanwhile, it is heartbreaking when football heroes wind up in wheelchairs or worse. John Mackey, the pioneering president of the N.F.L. Players Association, was found to have frontal temporal dementia in his early 60s. Former Bears safety Dave Duerson was 50 years old when he committed suicide, shooting himself in the chest so that his brain could be studied. (It showed signs of C.T.E.) Junior Seau, a 12-time Pro Bowler for the Chargers, was 43 when he shot himself in the chest last spring.
Fans may wonder whether they should support such a sport. Many parents face a more practical question: Should our kid play football? When the Raiders Phil Villapiano, one of the hardest hitters in N.F.L. history, watched his son Mike get his bell rung in a high school game, they had a father-son talk about it. Mike dreamed of playing college football, maybe even making the N.F.L. They both felt he wouldnt get there by sitting on the sidelines, waiting for a doctor to send him back in. Father and son agreed: Mike kept his mouth shut and his options open. He stayed in the game and led his team to a state championship.
Im not about to second-guess the Villapianos, whose fortitude I admire. But no family should face such a choice.
The N.F.L. now uses simple written or computerized cognitive tests to assess concussions. Before each season, players are shown a page featuring 20 words and asked to write down as many as they remember when the page is taken away. The same with 20 simple pictures: Draw as many as you can remember. Later, after an on-field hammering rings their mental bells, the pros take the same test. Match your baseline results or sit out.
Some players cheat. They purposely give wrong answers on the preseason baseline test in hopes of passing the test when theyre concussed. But no screening plan is foolproof, and this one has the virtue of simplicity. Every college and high school football program should use such a test until we find something better. Above all, though, football needs a culture change: parents, coaches and fans must never pressure an injured player to get back in the game before its clear that hes of sound mind and body.
How should we view last weeks donation from the N.F.L. to the N.I.H.? Cynics will no doubt see the pledge as a cheap public relations move. Given that $30 million represents four and a half minutes of commercial time during the Super Bowl, the leagues donation might seem paltry.
But its a start.

Study Bolsters Link Between Routine Hits and Brain Disease
By KEN BELSON
Published: December 3, 2012 12 Comments
The growing evidence of a link between head trauma and long-term, degenerative brain disease was amplified in an extensive study of athletes, military veterans and others who absorbed repeated hits to the head, according to new findings published in the scientific journal Brain.
The study, which included brain samples taken posthumously from 85 people who had histories of repeated mild traumatic brain injury, added to the mounting body of research revealing the possible consequences of routine hits to the head in sports like football and hockey. The possibility that such mild head trauma could result in long-term cognitive impairment has come to vex sports officials, team doctors, athletes and parents in recent years.
Of the group of 85 people, 80 percent (68 men) nearly all of whom played sports showed evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or C.T.E., a degenerative and incurable disease whose symptoms can include memory loss, depression and dementia.
Among the group found to have C.T.E., 50 were football players, including 33 who played in the N.F.L. Among them were stars like Dave Duerson, Cookie Gilchrist and John Mackey. Many of the players were linemen and running backs, positions that tend to have more contact with opponents.
Six high school football players, nine college football players, seven pro boxers and four N.H.L. players, including Derek Boogaard, the former hockey enforcer who died from an accidental overdose of alcohol and painkillers, also showed signs of C.T.E. The study also included 21 veterans, most of whom were also athletes, who showed signs of C.T.E.
The study was conducted by investigators at the Boston University Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy and the Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare System, in collaboration with the Sports Legacy Institute. It took four years to complete, included subjects 17 to 98 years old, and more than doubled the number of documented cases of C.T.E. The investigators also created a four-tiered system to classify degrees of C.T.E., hoping it would help doctors treat patients.
The volume of cases in the study allows us to see the disease at all stages of severity and how it starts and spreads in the brain, which gives us an idea of the mechanism of the injury, said Ann McKee, the main author of the study, who is a professor of neurology and pathology at Boston University School of Medicine and works at the V.A. Boston.
Those categorized as having Stage 1 of the disease had headaches and loss of attention and concentration, while those with Stage 2 also had depression, explosive behavior and short-term memory loss. Those with Stage 3 of C.T.E., including Duerson, a former All-Pro defensive back for the Chicago Bears who killed himself last year, had cognitive impairment and trouble with executive functions like planning and organizing. Those with Stage 4 had dementia, difficulty finding words and aggression.
Despite the breadth of the findings, the study, like others before it, did not prove definitively that head injuries sustained on the field caused C.T.E. To do that, doctors would need to identify the disease in living patients by using imaging equipment, blood tests or other techniques. Researchers have not been able to determine why some athletes who performed in the same conditions did not develop C.T.E.
The study also did not demonstrate what percentage of professional football players were likely to develop C.T.E. To do that, investigators would need to study the brains of players who do not develop C.T.E., and those are difficult to acquire because families of former players who do not exhibit symptoms are less likely to donate their brains to science.
Its a gamblers game to try to predict what percentage of the population has this, said Chris Nowinski, a co-author of the study and a co-director of the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at Boston University School of Medicine. Many of the families donated the brains of their loved ones because they were symptomatic. Still, this is probably more widespread than we think.
Researchers expected the details in the study to dispel doubts about the likelihood that many years of head trauma can lead to C.T.E. The growing connections between head trauma and contact sports, though, have led some nervous parents and coaches to assume that any concussion could lead to long-term impairment. Some doctors say that oversimplifies matters. Rather, the total amount of head trauma, including smaller subconcussive hits, as well as how they were treated, must be considered when evaluating whether an athlete is more at risk of developing a disease like C.T.E.
All concussions are not created equal, said Robert Cantu, a co-author of the study and a co-director of the encephalopathy center. Parents have become paranoid about concussions and connecting the dots with C.T.E., and thats wrong. The dots are really about total head trauma.

This is from Pravda on the Hudson (the NY Times):
Should Kids Play Football?
By JOE NOCERA
Published: December 14, 2012
Do your children play football? I asked Kevin Guskiewicz the other day over breakfast. Yes, he replied, as I nearly fell off my chair. My 16-year-old and my 12-year-old played football this year. They had a great experience.
Guskiewicz is, among other things, the chairman of the department of exercise and sports science at the University of North Carolina here. His primary area of study is the connection between recurring concussions, depression and cognitive impairment. At their worst, these are symptoms of a degenerative brain disease called chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or C.T.E. Guskeiwiczs research on the lasting damage repeated concussions can do to a football players brain helped convince the National Football League to tinker with the rules to make the games most dangerous play the kickoff a little less dangerous. He has been awarded a MacArthur genius grant and has been profiled by Malcolm Gladwell in The New Yorker.
Which is why I had naturally assumed that he would be opposed to children playing full-contact football. C.T.E. is a disease that used to be associated solely with boxers. (Indeed, it used to be called dementia pugilistica.) But over the past eight or nine years, researchers like Guskiewicz have been studying its effect on other athletes, especially football players.
Thanks not only to their work, but also to a rash of suicides by former (and in several cases, current) football players, as well as lawsuits that have been filed against both the N.F.L. and the N.C.A.A., the issue has gotten enormous visibility. Picking up on the news, many parents now dont let their children play football because, after all, we all know it is too dangerous. Dont we?
As I discovered after talking to a number of brain researchers who are studying C.T.E., the science really isnt able to make that definitive claim at least not yet. What we know for sure is that multiple concussions can lead to C.T.E. Dr. Ann McKee, a co-director at Boston Universitys Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, recently published a study with colleagues that examined, posthumously, brain samples of 85 people who had repeated mild brain trauma as opposed to concussions. Some 80 percent of them, the study found, showed evidence of C.T.E.
Does this mean that football players are more likely to get C.T.E., just because of the relentless pounding they take? Yes, says McKee: Exposure to the sport itself is associated with this disease.
Guskiewicz, however, is not yet convinced. Studies like that clearly show that C.T.E. exists in players without a history of concussions, but they havent completely connected the dots. Its a little like saying that if there are a rash of ankle sprains on a tennis team, and they all wear Nike tennis shoes, then the tennis shoes must be the culprit.
I always use the word recognized when I talk about concussions, said a third researcher, Dr. Robert Cantu, who is also a co-director of the Boston University center. After all, he says, in the bad old days which is really just a few years ago team doctors often missed signs of a concussion. If you are convinced that players without a history of concussions really didnt have concussions, then yes: repetitive head-banging alone can cause C.T.E., he says. But we also know that some 80 percent of mild concussions go unrealized. Still, he said, Our data is showing that it is not just recognized concussions but total brain trauma that counts.
When I asked Cantu if he believed that kids should be allowed to play football, he practically growled at me. Havent you read my book? he asked. Entitled Concussions and Our Kids, and published just a few months ago, it argues that children should be confined to touch football until they turn 14. The young brain is more vulnerable, he said. Besides there is just too much that we dont know yet.
So why does Guskiewicz disagree with Cantu a man with whom he has co-authored many a paper on C.T.E.? Like many people who study C.T.E., Guskiewicz is a football fan. Although there are those who now advocate abolishing football altogether a pipe dream if ever there was one his goal is to help make the game safer. Part of that, in his view, is teaching proper techniques that protect the head. I worry that if we dont teach the right way to block and tackle early, by the time they get to high school which is when the physics of the game really changes it will be too late, he says.
And what does McKee think about children playing football? When I posed it to her, I could hear her sighing over the phone.
Im really conflicted about that, she replied. Arent we all?

N.F.L. Will Expand Concussion Efforts During Games
By JUDY BATTISTA
published: February 26, 2013
Where are we? Who did we play in the last game? What is the date today?
Those are some of the questions N.F.L. players are asked after they are hit in the head during a game. Next season, they are coming to an iPad.
The mandatory postinjury sideline concussion assessment tool, instituted for the 2012 season along with a baseline test done during physicals at the start of preseason, will now be used in app form by all 32 teams, a method that was tried by a handful of teams in a pilot program last season. The hope is that being able to compare the results of a baseline test and a postinjury test side by side in real time will speed diagnosis and help doctors and trainers recognize when a player should be removed from a game. The league also plans to have independent neurological consultants on the sideline during each game to assist the team physician in diagnosing and treating players.
The players union, which had pushed strongly for independent doctors to be on the sideline, said it was encouraged by the technological advance the new test represented, but it still had questions about how much power the independent consultants would have to make decisions about players. The union wants the independent sideline concussion experts to have almost exclusive authority in detecting concussions and administering tests, in part because it believes team doctors are often busy attending to other injured players, while the concussion experts are there for one reason.
If youre busy and didnt see the play, how do you know you need us? said Dr. Thomas Mayer, the unions medical director. This is a big enough issue we need an extra set of eyes, an extra judgment.
The postinjury test is quick it takes about six to eight minutes and shares many elements with the baseline test to allow a comparison that might indicate a decline in function. Both include a section on the players concussion history and a 24-symptom checklist; players are asked to score themselves on a scale of 1 to 6 in categories like dizziness, confusion, irritability and sleep problems. Both note any abnormal pupil reaction or neck pain. There is a balance test and a concentration test, in which players, who are usually brought to the locker room to be evaluated, are asked to say the months of the year in reverse order, to recite a string of numbers backward and to remember a collection of words three times. Then they are asked to recall them again, without warning, at least five minutes later. The words and sequence of numbers may be changed from test to test, so players cannot memorize them from a previous test to mask concussion symptoms a fact that has annoyed players, according to Dr. Margot Putukian, the director of athletic medicine at Princeton University Health Services and a member of the N.F.L.s Head, Neck and Spine Committee.
On the postinjury tests, there is one different element: a series of five questions designed to test orientation and glean how confused a player might be at that moment. They are: Where are we? What quarter is it right now? Who scored last in the practice or game? Did we win the last game? Those questions, known as Maddocks questions, were developed in the 1990s by an Australian doctor who worked with players in Australian rules football.
What the application does, when you are evaluating the athlete, you actually see as they are doing their word recall his baseline, said Putukian, who added that it was her understanding that team doctors would administer the tests. He was able to remember 15 out of 15 words, and now hes having trouble giving you five back right away? Maybe hes only able to remember two? It gives you real-time information.
The tests are far from perfect tools for diagnosing concussions. Some doctors are concerned the N.F.L. tests are trying to reduce concussion evaluation to ticking items off a checklist, a problem Putukian acknowledged, emphasizing the importance of having doctors familiar with the players evaluate them. Last season, Jets running back Shonn Greene took a hit to his helmet in a game and walked unsteadily back toward the huddle before quarterback Mark Sanchez sent him off. Greene later returned to the game, and the Jets said he had passed concussion tests given in the locker room. Also last season, San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith took a hit that caused blurred vision, but he remained in the game for several plays and completed a touchdown pass before being removed. He was subsequently found to have a concussion. While he was out, the backup Colin Kaepernick took over, and Smith effectively lost his starting job.
I think we have to be careful, Putukian said. The tool, its not the be-all, end-all. There are going to be athletes who have concussions that this tool does not pick up. Its not a perfect test. Nor is there one. We dont have one that is a perfect test.
She added: Athletes may take this and perform this test and do fine on it. But you may know the athlete, athletes will stumble through it Yeah, we played the Seawhawks you know they are struggling. Its not bang, bang, bang. Theyll give you the right answers, but they are struggling. If you know that athlete, you say: I know you passed the test, but I know you. Youre not O.K.

Concussions in NHL

February 28, 2013, 08:53:30 AM »
Second entry of the morning
For the last two seasons, concussions and hits to the head were frequent talking points in the N.H.L., with the Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby serving as the catalyst.
As the lockout dragged on for more than four months, though, the conversation shifted from player safety to revenue percentages and competitive balance. The first few weeks of the shortened 48-game season passed without much talk of concussions. But in the past two weeks, 11 N.H.L. players are believed to have sustained them, among them Crosbys teammate and the reigning most valuable player, Evgeni Malkin, thrusting the issue of head injuries back into the spotlight.
Concussions continue to plague the league, despite its increased emphasis on reducing them. For the second season, the N.H.L. is playing under its broadened version of Rule 48, which penalizes hits that target an opponents head or make the head the principal point of contact. But many of the recent injuries, including Malkins, were not caused by hits deemed worthy of fines or suspensions.
Last season, according to CBC network estimates, about 90 players missed games because of concussions, about 13 percent of N.H.L. players on active rosters on a given night. Crosby missed 60 games while recovering from a concussion he sustained in the 2011 Winter Classic.
Malkin, who has 4 goals and 17 assists in 18 games this season, received a concussion diagnosis Sunday, two days after he fell awkwardly into the end boards following a routine shove from Floridas Erik Gudbranson. Malkin slid back-first into the boards, causing his head to snap sharply backward and strike the boards.
Penguins Coach Dan Bylsma said Malkin initially had short-term memory loss but was improving. The team placed Malkin on injured reserve Monday, retroactive to Sunday. A player on injured reserve is ineligible to play for a minimum of seven days, meaning the soonest Malkin can be reactivated is next Sunday.
Theres not a specific schedule for that right now in terms of physical activity, Bylsma told reporters Tuesday in Sunrise, Fla., where the Penguins played the Panthers again.
The protocol and resting with a concussion, hes following that right now, Bylsma added.
The Penguins, who lead the Atlantic Division, have a new medical team this season, headed by Dr. Christopher Harner of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, where the team is planning to open a training, sports medicine and performance facility. The Penguins announced in the summer that they had ended their association with their longtime team doctor, Charles Burke.
The team and Burke said that their parting was amicable and not related to Crosbys 14-month concussion saga. Penguins President David Morehouse said the team wanted to have enhanced medical coverage for our players, which included having doctors travel with the team.
Perhaps because of their history with Crosby, the Penguins are among the N.H.L.s most transparent teams in disclosing concussions, and General Manager Ray Shero is considered a progressive voice in support of tighter rules governing hits to the head and concussion protocol.
A lack of openness about concussions can make it difficult to have an accurate accounting of head injuries. Among the other players with recently announced head injuries are the 20-year-old Carolina forward Jeff Skinner, who missed 16 games last season with a concussion; St. Louiss high-scoring rookie Vladimir Tarasenko; another top rookie, Brendan Gallagher of Montreal; and Devils winger Ryan Carter.
Under N.H.L. regulations, clubs are not required to disclose the specific nature of a players injury. But they are not permitted to give out false or misleading information about an injury.
The Columbus Blue Jackets announcement that Artem Anisimov is out with an upper body injury is allowed under those guidelines, even though he was taken off the ice in Detroit on a stretcher Thursday after his head was driven into the ice by the elbow of a falling Red Wing, Kyle Quincey.
The Rangers do not always disclose players concussions. Rick Nash and Ryan McDonagh are believed to be out of the lineup with concussions, but the team has issued no details regarding their conditions. Forward Darroll Powe was sidelined with a confirmed concussion Feb. 17, but returned to play on Tuesday.
Nash, who has missed four games, returned to practice Tuesday and told reporters that his absence was because of a number of things. He declined to confirm or deny that a concussion was among the injuries.
The Rangers have been reluctant to disclose concussions in the recent past. In January 2011, they revealed that the enforcer Derek Boogaard had sustained a concussion in a fight about a month earlier, and in September 2011 they disclosed that defenseman Marc Staal had played more than two months at the end of the previous season with concussion symptoms. Staal did not return to game action until the 2012 Winter Classic.

MMA Races to Learn More About Brain Injuries

From the article:
November, he surprised plenty of observers when he retired from MMA.
Denis was promising, but he also was no ordinary fighter. Before turning pro, he was a doctoral student in biochemistry. Following his loss to Sandro, Denis began looking through medical journals, and it was here he discovered a new term: subconcussive trauma.
The new term is also something of a new concept and a bit of a final frontier for brain injury science. Essentially, subconcussions are smaller than full-blown concussions, but over time, can still cause serious harm, including CTE, in the brain.

MeiandLinsMom said:I have a question regarding switching laundry detergents...
I currently use original Tide for washing cloth diapers. Been use it for 4 months (haven't had ammonia issues) but I've been using Tide because i don't have access to a more diaper friendly detergent. But i recently found Ecos Laundry detergent in my area, so happy to be able to use a natural detergent for my CD's.
So the question is... Do i jump right in and start using the new laundry detergent or do i rinse and rinse and try to rinse out the tide before using the new detergent?
Please help, i don't want to ruin my diapers or even worse give my baby girl a rash. So far my journey with cloth diapers has been very successful and would like to keep that way.

Flooding overwhelmed parts of the East Coast Tuesday as a result of Superstorm Sandy.
In Little Ferry, N.J., floodwaters were 6 to 8 feet deep, and about 75 percent of the city was underwater, according to the police chief.
"We have people who were actually on roofs of their homes in certain sections. We needed, actually, boats -- we're still using boats to get people out of the low-lying areas," Chief Ralph Verdi told CNN. "I've been a police officer for 33 years. I've never seen this type of devastation from flooding."
Fourteen miles to the south, in Newark, N.J., the city's mayor cautioned residents about the severe flooding.
"There are many, many hazards in the streets. Many downed power lines. Still many flooded areas," Mayor Cory Booker told CNN. "People's safety is still principally important."
Here are five things to keep in mind during flooding:
1. Standing water is potentially dangerous
It may be electrically charged from downed power lines, or contaminated by oil, gasoline or sewage, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
2. So is moving water
Just 6 inches of shallow moving water can make you fall, according to FEMA. The agency advises walking on firm ground where the water isn't moving -- and using a stick to check how solid your footing is.

Student Drivers Learn The Dangers of Texting and Driving
By: Victor Sotelo
Updated: August 22, 2012
Many teens just can't live with out their phones, so an Abilene driving school is making sure their students learn not to text while they are learning to drive and hoping it carries over to the real world.
The first thing Mike Dunkin of A.O.K. driving school in Abilene has his students do when they walk into the class room is put their cell phones in a box at the front of the class.
He says the phone is like an addiction for them and many are just used to having a phone all the time.
This is why he puts so much emphasis on the subject while he is teaching.
Dunkin says despite all of the information he gives students, distracted driving will become the number one killer of teens behind the wheel.
He also adds its not just teens who are doing texting and driving. He sees just as many adults doing the same thing out on the road.

Maserati sedan spied near Modena
A Maserati sedan was spied near Modena, Italy. The company is known to be working on a competitor for the E-segment.
Maserati has confirmed its upcoming sedan will be called the Ghibli, and a heavily covered four-door model has been captured near Modena, Italy.
Is this the purported E-segment sedan that could spell sales volume and an extension of the Maserati brand? We hear the prototype appeared to be smaller than the Quattroporte and with a different interior. The carmaker did not have any immediate comment.
Maserati is known to be developing a sedan to compete against the BMW 5-series, Mercedes-Benz E-class and Audi 6. It will be built at a former Bertone factory in Modena that is being converted for Ghibli production at a cost of about $650 million. The Alfa Romeo 4C will also be assembled at that site.
The Ghibli was used on Maserati V8 sports cars in the 1960s and 1970s and then resurrected in the 1990s for a V6 coupe.
Meanwhile, Maserati also confirmed a new name for its SUV, the Levante. The production model, reportedly set to debut in January at the Detroit auto show, follows the Kubang concept.
The Levante will launch in 2014. It's named after a street in Bologna, where the Maserati brothers first planned for their car company in 1914. The SUV is timed to launch as part of the brand's centennial.

China's Oversized Clout in My Supply ChainIt is common knowledge that China has become the world's fastest-growing major economy. It is quickly overtaking the United States, by both nominal GDP and purchasing power parity (PPP). China's influence in global economy and international affairs is growing rapidly. It is the second-largest importer of goods and the world's largest exporter. China's army numbers around 2.5 million soldiers and they have nuclear weapons. They are only second to the United States in terms of defense spending. China has also launched manned space missions and that puts them almost on par with the United States and former Soviet Union space programs. China has been characterized as a potential superpower by a number of academics, military analysts, and public policy and economics analysts. So, what does all this mean for the electronics supply chain? China is a leading player in electronics manufacturing and its growing clout means all segments of the supply chain are being impacted by events in the country. Currently, I am working on a bill of material for a 4X6 printed circuit card assembly. I thought it might be interesting to see how many parts on this board were either made by or purchased from China. To make it a bit more interesting, I am including the parts that are manufactured in China for other countries. So, if Texas Instruments has a manufacturing facility in China, then that part will be included on my list. In order to guarantee that every part listed on the BOM was the part manufactured in China, I looked at each manufacturer's Website. So here is the conclusion of this quick study: Out of 59 unique part numbers and manufacturers, only two did not have a manufacturing location in China. What does this mean for my supply chain on this particular board assembly? Well, I'll be out of business if China turns up its economic nose at the US. If I cannot source the same or alternate parts from another non-China based manufacturing site, then I am in deep Kung Pao. So, what should I do now? I can get all hot and bothered and start looking for non-China manufactured parts, or I can take the position that most everyone is taking... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Well, because I have other more immediate things to be concerned about, I will let this one boil over on the back burner. Should I now have to consider my next design with this concern in mind? No. Not yet. Because if my operations go down because I can't get parts from China, it will already be too late for everyone else using parts manufactured in and exported from China. If China decides to increase their manufacturing costs to OEMs reselling parts in top level products, then there will be more pain and less gain for the consumer. When the OEMs get pinched, they have to pinch their customers or absorb the loss due to the higher cost of goods. Unfortunately, price increases do get passed along to recoup any losses and that is why I am at the mercy of my supply chain. And, that is why every company's supply chain that has links through China should be a major concern and they need to start figuring this into their long-term risk analysis exercises. The escalating US debt is not just a threat to the residents of the US, but if China believes that the US is getting to the point where we cannot even service the debt, then the backfill for the uncollectable funds will first show up in higher manufactured part's pricing due to import tariffs that have been added to help ease the debt burden. We will not escape some degree of suffering due to the imbalance in our trading with and dependency upon China's goods and services. Global purchase power parity results will continue to devalue the US dollar and with that my parts' cost can move up. Now, my customers will be enticed to buy a product like mine directly from China and at a much lower price. If this happens across a number of products from a number of companies, then the backbone of our economy, being our combined corporation's strengths and clout, will be put under such a strain that we will not be able to stand up straight and tall for roll call when the world's economic superpowers are summoned to the negotiating tables. |

You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.

Recent events in Darfur raise the familiar question of whether international law facilitates the kind of early, decisive, and coherent action needed to effectively combat genocide. Matthew C. Waxman argues that putting decisions about international intervention solely in the hands of the UN Security Council risks undermining the threat or use of intervention when it may be most potent in stopping mass atrocities.

Matt Waxman argues that even if President Obama is able close Guantanamo, nothing he has done so far will prevent the creation of another detention facility.

In President Obama's upcoming counterterrorism speech, Robert Chesney and Matthew Waxman explain that the president should focus on three areas that his administration has not followed through in a serious way: closing Guantanamo, working with Congress to put forceful counterterrorism actions on sound legal footing, and making targeted killing more transparent.

Following allegations that the Syrian government used chemical weapons against opposition fighters, which President Obama declared a "red line," CFR's Matthew C. Waxman highlights three sets of considerations for U.S. intervention in the country's ongoing civil war.

A number of countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Turkey, and Qatar, have been providing support to the opposition in various forms, ranging from humanitarian aid to military supplies, such as weapons, armor, and communication devices. However, these efforts have not been enough to turn the tide, and after three years of fighting, a diplomatic solution still seems unlikely.

Grounded in a realistic assessment of technology, Matthew C. Waxman and Kenneth Anderson outline a practical alternative with which to evaluate the use of autonomous weaponry that incorporates codes of conduct based on traditional legal and ethical principles governing weapons and warfare.

Matthew Waxman writes, "the result of shifting control to the Pentagon will likely be a more sustainable, if perhaps more restrained and formalized, long-term policy of targeted killing."

A leaked government document has recharged the controversy over the use of lethal force against U.S. citizens. CFR's Matthew C. Waxman highlights three legal considerations.
See more in Counterterrorism
In order to gain more congressional support for national security and foreign policy measures, "The Obama administration will need to pick its legislative priorities more deliberately, engage with allies and opponents in Congress more actively, and be willing to negotiate compromises or wage aggressive campaigns on key issues," says Matthew C. Waxman.
See more in United States, Presidency
Kenneth Anderson and Matthew C. Waxman say some view automated technology developments as a crisis for the laws of war. But provided we start now to incorporate ethical and legal norms into weapons design, the incremental movement from automation to genuine machine autonomy already underway might well be made to serve the ends of law on the battlefield.
See more in United States, Wars and Warfare, International Law
Matthew C. Waxman argues that international law still plays a powerful role in justifying or delegitimizing the case for military action. Just like in the Cuban missile crisis, the United States needs to present a plausible case for self-defense in order to strike Iran.

Sen. Michael Bennet, the Colorado Democrat who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, was optimistic in a statement, writing he was "confident we can elect an independent-minded Democrat to [Rockefeller's] seat next November."
"Democrats maintain nearly a two to one voter registration advantage over Republicans in West Virginia and I know there are a number of leaders there who will consider taking this next step to serve their state," Bennet said.
Democrats currently hold a 54-45 majority in the Senate. One independent senator - Sen. Angus King of Maine - also caucuses with Democrats. Thirty-five Senate seats will be open for re-election in 2014 -- Democrats will be defending 21 of them, while Republicans will defend 14.

No Free UGA Football for Lawmakers - Good or Bad?
Some legislators acknowledge the freebies can look bad, but they say the state's new ethics law will make it harder to mingle with constituents.
Georgia legislators who want to sit in the president's suite above the hedges at Sanford Stadium next year will have to pay their own way, thanks to ethics legislation signed by Gov. Nathan Deal last week. The law forbids elected officials from receiving gifts or event tickets exceeding $75. University System of Georgia lobbyists gave state and local lawmakers more than $14,000 in football tickets in 2012, the Athens Banner-Herald reports. The paper quotes state Sen. Bill Cowsert, whose district includes Athens, saying the football games have been a good way for him to mingle with his constitutents. "I think it's really going to change things," Cowsert is quoted saying of the new ethics law. "I think it's going to make it tougher for the …

2013 SRT Viper GTS Launch Edition to strike at Pebble Beach
Chrysler's SRT brand will display the 2013 Viper GTS Launch Edition during the Monterey/Pebble Beach weekend. A sneak peek will take place at The Quail on Friday, Aug. 17, before the car hits the Concept Lawn at the Pebble Beach Concours. SRT says the Launch Edition was inspired by the two previous-generation Viper reveals in 1996 and 2006.
The paint scheme for the Launch Edition cars will be GTS blue with two white racing stripes. It will also carry a serialized dash plaque that SRT says aligns the build-sequence number to the vehicle identification number. It will also have a special Stryker badge on the steering wheel.
"Designed with Viper loyalists in mind, the 2013 SRT Viper GTS Launch Edition model brings back the classic paint schemes that have adorned all previous Viper coupe launches, to help us celebrate the return of our brand's flagship performance machine to the supercar market," said Ralph Gilles, SRT brand and design chief for Chrysler.
The GTS Launch Edition will wear five-spoke, polished and forged aluminum wheels with the Stryker logo over red-painted calipers.
The 2013 SRT Viper and Viper GTS will hit dealerships in the fourth quarter of this year with an all-aluminum 8.4-liter V10 engine producing 640 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque.

For as long as the existence of social networking or the ability to express how one feels publicly over the World Wide Web, cyber bullying destroyed the lives of many. This type of bullying is constantly ignored because, sadly, there is no way of detecting it until the victim commits suicide. There is a misconception that cyber bullying is not harmful because it's just words or pictures. Although no one is physically harmed, cyber bullying tears down the emotions of many. Many may not realize that those "harmful" jokes can be taken seriously and may cause a lot of damage to others. There are certain actions that can be taken to delete this silent violence.
First, we can all work together to decrease the amount of cyber bullying by sticking to this simple principle: If you wouldn't say it to someone's face don't say it at all. Many cyber bullies hide behind the screen like a little bitch and wouldn't dare say the things they post online about other people outside of the cyber world because it's easy to get away with. You don't have to be strong or know how to fight to be a cyber bully. A computer or any electronic device with internet capability is the only requirement. Because of this anyone is able to cyber bully and almost get away with it.
Another principle to consider is: If you don't have anything nice to say,then simple shut the fuck up. Some people cyber bully because of peer pressure or to gain the respect of others. When is hurting someone to gain the respect of others ever cool? You shouldn't want the respect of these punk ass bitches anyways because if they enjoy mistreating others you could easily be their next victim.
This weak bitch ass alternative to bullying must be deleted. It's not cool or entertaining in any shape or form. The web should be a safe place of self-expression without hurting others in the process. We don't have to entertain this. If we see this happening we can ignore it or speak up. What is a cyber bully without an audience? A lame ass mother fucker with no life or friends. Let's work together to rid this social virus and make the internet an enjoyable space for everyone.
