Acetaminophen in Pregnancy and Child's ADHD Risk
"We are aware of the recent JAMA Pediatrics study; however, there are no prospective, randomized controlled studies demonstrating a causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and adverse effects on child development," the statement said.
The UCLA researchers based their findings on the Danish National Birth Cohort, a nationwide study of pregnancies and children. The study's aim is to examine pregnancy complications and diseases in children, with a specific focus on the side effects of medications and infections.
The researchers studied more than 64,000 children and mothers. They tracked acetaminophen use through telephone interviews conducted up to three times during pregnancy and then six months after childbirth.
The researchers then used Danish medical databases to see which children had been diagnosed with ADHD or were prescribed ADHD medications. They also used survey reports from parents to track whether the children had exhibited ADHD-like symptoms.
The results showed that children whose mothers took acetaminophen had a 37 percent higher risk of receiving a hospital diagnosis of hyperkinetic disorder, a particularly severe form of ADHD, the researchers found.
Those kids also were 29 percent more likely to use ADHD medication and 13 percent more likely to exhibit ADHD-like symptoms.
In addition, the risk for hyperkinetic disorder/ADHD in a child was elevated at least 50 percent when the mother used acetaminophen for more than 20 weeks during her pregnancy.
In their analysis, the researchers took into account the possibility that children's ADHD had been caused by maternal diseases that prompted the use of acetaminophen. "We adjusted for these, and it did not wipe out the acetaminophen effect at all," Ritz said.
Based on these findings, Ritz said she would caution pregnant women against using acetaminophen.
"If I as a woman were pregnant, I would do everything I could to avoid any of these medications," she said. "It's hard to tell women in severe pain to not take any painkillers, but I wouldn't recommend any repeated use of acetaminophen without seeing a doctor, and we can't recommend the other painkillers because they have more side effects."
Adesman agreed that women should talk with their doctor before taking any medication during pregnancy, but added that it's too soon to rule out acetaminophen as unsafe.
"We should clarify this as quickly as possible from a research standpoint," Adesman said, urging doctors to verify the UCLA findings through follow-up studies.

As it is becoming clearer that one of the critical issues for developing functional nanomachines is the generation of energy required to power them, research into developing nanoscale energy sources has been picking up substantially. The energy to be fed into a nanogenerator is likely to be mechanical energy that is converted into electric energy that then will be used to power nanodevices without using a battery. With the emergence of nanotechnology and the use of nanomaterials, the field of piezoelectrics and nanopiezotronics has experienced a lot of new and interesting research efforts. Researchers in Korea have now demonstrated the first use of chemical vapor deposition-grown large-scale graphene sheets as transparent electrodes for fully transparent and flexible nanogenerators.Posted: Apr 19th, 2010
Silicon has dominated solid-state electronics for more than four decades but now a variety of other materials are being explored in photonic devices to expand the wavelength range of operation and to improve performance. Graphene is such a material - although most research on graphene so far has focused mainly on electronics. IBM researchers have now shown that graphene-based devices can be used in optical communications. Introducing this new material system into photonics could have a significant impact on mainstream optical applications. By using graphene, researchers make use of the internal electric field that exists at the interface of graphene and metal. Through a sophisticated combination of palladium and titanium electrodes they created a photodetector that does not rely on external current.Posted: Apr 7th, 2010
Carbon-supported catalysts are widely used in many applications. For example, platinum nanoparticles supported on bulk carbon frameworks are used as fuel cell electrodes. The obvious challenge is to have a large area of carbon surface so that the catalyst particles can be dispersed without any aggregation. Graphene with its 2D nanostructure provides a large surface area (theoretically, the surface area of graphene is about 2600 square meters per gram) to anchor catalyst particles. Scientists have now succeeded in dispersing two different types of nanoparticles - silver and titanium dioxide - on a reduced graphene oxide at different sites without any aggregation.Posted: Jan 21st, 2010
A group of researchers from Singapore, led by Professor Dingyuan Tang from Nanyang Technological University and Professor Kian Ping Loh from National University of Singapore, have reported the first breakthrough in using few-layer graphene as a saturable absorber for the mode locking of lasers. Despite its prominent mechanical and electrical properties, graphene's optical response has previously been considered to be weak and featureless, so the main interests of the research community are centered on its electronics properties. But now, Tang and Loh demonstrate that graphene can be used for telecommunications applications and that its weak and universal optical response might be turned into advantages for ultrafast photonics applications.Posted: Jan 6th, 2010
Graphene based sheets such as pristine graphene, graphene oxide, or reduced graphene oxide are basically single atomic layers of carbon network. They are the world's thinnest materials. A general visualization method that allows quick observation of these sheets would be highly desirable as it can greatly facilitate sample evaluation and manipulation, and provide immediate feedback to improve synthesis and processing strategies. Current imaging techniques for observing graphene based sheets include atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy. Some of these techniques are rather low-throughput. And all the current techniques require the use of special types of substrates. This greatly limits the capability to study these materials. Researchers from Northwestern University have now reported a new method, namely fluorescence quenching microscopy, for visualizing graphene-based sheets.Posted: Dec 14th, 2009
Chip structures already have reached nanoscale dimensions but as they continue to shrink below the 20 nanometer mark, ever more complex challenges arise and scaling appears not to be economically feasible any more. And below 10 nm, the fundamental physical limits of CMOS technology will be reached. One promising material that could enable the chip industry to move beyond the current CMOS technology is graphene, a monolayer sheet of carbon. Notwithstanding the intense research interest, large scale production of single layer graphene remains a significant challenge. Researchers at Cornell University have now reported a new technique for producing large scale single layer graphene sheets and fabricating transistor arrays with uniform electrical properties directly on the device substrate.Posted: Dec 2nd, 2009
Graphene is an impressive condensed matter system that, to all appearances, never ceases to impress and challenge our entrenched intuitions regarding solid state systems. But graphene is a highly atypical electronic system in that it consists of nothing but a surface. Researchers at Boston University have found that local deformations in a graphene sheet can strongly influence electron flow across the system, causing suppression of conductance at low densities, and making electrons behave as if they were living in a nanoribbon or quantum dot. All this without cutting the graphene sheet, which opens the prospect towards a reversible and controllable transport gap in monolayer graphene via strain engineering.Posted: Oct 6th, 2009
Nanostructures present novel material properties and interesting insight into new physical phenomena. However, from a technical and commercial application point of view, a successful bridging between the nanoscale specific significance with large-scale applications must be made to obtain these benefits. One of the 'hottest' nanomaterials at the moment is graphene, a one-atom thick sheet of carbon. Ribbons made from graphene, basically stripes that look like molecular chicken wire, show even more unconventional properties than graphene, especially when they are less than 100 nm wide. Any material approach to use graphene nanoribbons for larger-scale applications must be able to assemble them into macroscopic materials, while preserving their physical significance and novel properties at these larger scales. Researchers at MIT have addressed this issue by proposing hierarchical assemblies of graphene nanoribbons through hydrogen bonds, inspired by biological structures found in nature such as proteins and DNA macromolecules.Posted: Oct 2nd, 2009

APIs and Copyright
Yesterday, the EFF filed an amicus brief signed by some of the big names in computer science and software engineering to support the court decision in Oracle vs. Google that APIs are not copyrightable. The brief is well worth reading because it lays out in detail many of the instances over the last decades in which the non-copyrightability of APIs has turned out to be important for innovation. I also support this view which is based on concept that functions or methods themselves are not copyrightable (their description with a specific choice of words is).
To date this is how the law has been applied: you can get a copyright to your specific code — in fact that right is automatic — but that does not extend to what that code does (its function). This is of course highly analogous to how copyright is applies in other domains such as books: the copyright protects the expression but not the idea (e.g. the words chosen in Antifragile are protected but not the idea of anti-fragility). A change here would imply a massive and unwarranted further extension of what copyright means.
Nonetheless the situation is somewhat frustrating for startups who spend time and effort defining elegant APIs. In an ideal world we would have an intellectual property regime that instead of the full powers of copyright simply provides an attribution requirement. So if someone implements the API you have designed, they need to attribute it to you (including whenever possible a link to you). That would in no way restrict the ability by third party to implement APIs but would provide some recognition and potentially customers for the originator.
Leistungsschutzrecht (Germany's Google Tax)
Germany's parliament today passed the highly controversial "Leistungsschutzrecht" which is an ancillary copyright that requires payment for excerpting from and linking to content in some instances. When I walked around in a slight daze at Chicago O'Hare this morning after an all too short red eye flight, my Twitter feed was full of German friends and others outraged about the bill (just look for #lsr). Jeff Jarvis — who spoke out strongly against the law at this year's DLD conference — in particular was tweeting up a storm.
I agree that the LSR is the wrong approach because it is a blunt instrument that will have significant collateral damage. Excerpting and linking are the lifeblood of the web. But it would be naive to think that there isn't a problem here that needs addressing. It is very different if I excerpt and link here on Continuations than when Google does it. Why? Because I account for some vanishingly small faction of Internet traffic whereas Google often has 80 percent or more of all search queries.
When Larry Page took over as CEO of Google I wrote that I hoped he would address the problem of Google's role in the Internet marketplace by figuring out how to share some of Google's economics. Because that's what this is all about. It's about trying to fix rent extraction by a near monopolist in search. And that rent extraction is a very real issue (how do you think Google is financing self driving cars and Glass?).
Imagine for a moment a situation in which there are many competitive search providers and consumers switch easily between them. Now consider a company such as Yelp that has accumulated a lot of information about restaurants. If one of the search engines starts to publish more and more of Yelp's data in the search results instead of finding the listing and driving traffic to it, Yelp could simply choose to not let that search engine crawl and index Yelp. That becomes a credible threat as consumers might switch to a different search engine if they can no longer find high quality restaurant data. That credible threat would over time lead to a situation where companies such as Yelp receive a licensing fee from the search engines for inclusion of the content, whenever including the content directly creates more value rather than driving traffic.
But with the market structure in search as it is, Google has been holding on to all of the value creation from including ever more content in its search results. All the while adding insult to injury by starting to build or buy competitive content services. That is not sustainable and Google needs to change its practices or we all risk seeing more legislation like the LSR that in trying to fix a market structure problem in search is likely to do more overall harm than good.

Imagining Movies in a World Without Windows
One of the great sacred cows of the movie business has been the theatrical release window. First a movie is only in theatrical release. Then there may be a period where it is only on DVD. And finally it may be everywhere including various online options. Over the years the theatrical release window has compressed as described for instance in this 2009 Wharton piece. But it still exists and I believe is a major contributor to piracy. Maintaining a theatrical release window is really the perfect example of imposing artificial scarcity.
So can we imagine a movie business where movies are available simultaneously with the theatrical release as high quality streaming and download options? Can studios make enough money to finance the films? And, can movie theaters make enough money to cover their fixed overhead?
There really seem to be only arguments for why this won't ever work. First, is the claim that as soon as high quality digital options become available illegal downloads really increase. Second, is the notion that people will prefer to see movies at home over coming to the theater. But there are a great many arguments as to why this won't be the end of the world. Here are just some that I can think of from the top of my head:
- The current degree of illegal downloading is higher than it would be if legal copies were readily accessible at a reasonable price. Eliminating the theatrical release window would likely reduce not increase illegal downloads.
- Revenues from product placement and merchandising are becoming much more important and increase with reach. Simultaneous digital availability will increase reach.
- Digital availability increases discovery and exposure which may result in people seeing the movie in a movie theater who would not otherwise have done so.
- In theater can offer things that will never be available at home. That can mean gigantic screens and extraordinary sound (e.g. IMAX) for some kinds of movies. But it can also mean enjoying a movie together with others.
- Eliminating the theatrical release window will force movie theaters to compete on the quality of the experience. This will mean better food, reserved seating and other service innovation — for instance, stick around to discuss the movie.
- With digital availability we might also see innovation in who operates movie theaters to begin with and how they operate. Showing a larger variety of movies and balancing screens based on actual demand becomes much easier in that world. This might actually reverse the Gigaplex trend and make smaller theaters competitive again.
Altogether I am convinced that doing away with release windows would actually result in a net improvement across the board. I suspect the pattern here will be similar to what we have experienced with previous technology-driven changes in the movie industry which went from being feared to being celebrated.
P.S. The arguments above are happily devoid of data. First, it's hard to find relevant data as much of it is closely guarded by the movie industry. Second, estimating where a new equilibrium might be based on data from the current situation is likely to be impossible. This is a case where we won't truly know until we get there.

The Challenge: A Decentralized Rights Registry
Since my post last Friday about alternatives to SOPA/PIPA, I have started to talk to a bunch of people about the idea of a decentralized content registry. Here are some thoughts and questions that I have been kicking around since then.
A decentralized system could offer a new revenue stream for existing registrars and certificate authorities who are already at least partially equipped to deal with issues of verification. By having a competitive situation from the start the price for content registration can be determined by the market rather than set by the government.
We should figure out how to leverage DNS and DNSSEC in this context. The direction in which I am thinking is some kind of analogy to DKIM. Part of what this would require is an efficient way to create signatures even for large pieces of content, such as a feature length movie.
The scheme should probably specifically *not* support DRM and the idea of windowing either by time or geography. Why? Because those are exactly the types of artificial scarcity that piracy exploits. Instead all the content in the registry should be unencumbered and even externally cacheable.
Here then are some of the big questions to consider:
1. If the registry allows content owners to set a price (and likely a separate price for download versus streaming), then how does that money get remitted to the content owners? And how/where does usage get metered?
2. What is an efficient method for discovering copies that are not participating in the scheme? One idea here would be that content that participates in the registry gets fingerprinted. That would enable third parties to build services that report (presumably unsigned or mis-signed) copies that match the fingerprints. To that end it might be worthwhile considering a NIST competition for a publicly available content fingerprint technology (similar to NIST's hash function competition).
I would love to hear from people who have thought about content rights registries before and/or work with some of the existing centralized ones. For this to work at Internet scale whatever solution comes out cannot be centralized.

Thinking About Alternatives to SOPA/PIPA
With SOPA and PIPA shelved at least for the moment, it is time to start thinking about alternatives. It would be a shame if we limited our collective thinking here to slightly different versions of those bills instead of exploring what a different approach to copyright could be that doesn't try to fight the characteristics of the Internet but rather embraces them, providing value for rights creators/holders, technology companies and endusers.
One interesting entry here is Ian Rogers (from Topspin Media) proposal for a rights and media registry. It's worth reading the entire post and also the comments, which include good questions from Andy and clarifying answers from Ian. In essence such a registry would enable tech companies to deliver innovative user experiences on top of content, as long as they respect the prices set by the rights holders. Rights holders would be entitled to enforcement only if they participate in the registry.
I believe this direction is very promising and is also something that was recommended by a report that the UK government's copyright office had commissioned. An important addition though would be that this should not be a centralized registry (which then requires an operator and become a single point of control and failure) but rather a standard for publication that would allow for a decentralized implementation.

Some Quick Observations on MegaUpload
Yesterday an international police operation resulted in the shutdown of MegaUpload and the arrest of at least four MegaUpload employees in Auckland, New Zealand. This action resulted in a large scale DDoS attack by the group known as Anonymous on web sites including the MPAA, RIAA, DoJ and even the White House. While I don't have time today for a full scale analysis here are some salient point:
1. The fact that this shutdown and the arrests were possible shows quite clearly that existing laws already provide a meaningful ability to deal with large scale copyright infringement even when sites operate from abroad. That's all the more reason why we don't need additional new legislation.
2. According to ArsTechnica, MegaUpload was brazenly flaunting the DMCA by only disabling links to infringing content instead of actually removing it or blocking access to it entirely. That is a violation of both the letter and the spirit of that law and should not be allowed to continue.
3. As with any digital locker site, there were also legitimate uses of MegaUpload. Many people who had work or personal files on MegaUpload have taken to Twitter to complain about a lack of access to their files. This operation and others before it (such as the server seizure that brought down Curbed, Pinboard and Instapaper) raise the question how to minimize "collateral damage."
4. The retaliation by Anonymous has the potential to meaningfully escalate the push for government intervention in the Internet for cybersecurity reasons. This comes at a bad time as we are trying hard to keep the government out of controlling the Internet.
What a week this has been! Apple too dropped another interesting copyright bomb yesterday by claiming sales rights to any books created with iBooks Author. It seems like we are at the beginning of what Cory Doctorow has characterized as the "Coming War on General Purpose Computing." We live in interesting times indeed.

The PROTECT IP Act (COICA Redux) Is Still a Bad Idea
The proposed PROTECT IP act is an improvement on COICA, but still makes the wrong trade-offs between protecting copyright holders and defending the integrity of the Internet.
There are several major modifications from the COICA draft. The key ones are first that only the DOJ can initiate procedures against foreign web sites that would result in exclusion of these sites from DNS and second that for domestic websites the only type of injunctive relief available is financial (no advertising support, no financial transaction processing) and there is no DNS exclusion for domestic sites. Caveat emptor: this is based on my own reading of the law which you can find here as a PDF (in past legal debates I have discovered too many people copying wrong readings of laws from each other).
At first blush these might seem like a sufficiently good compromise position. What do we care if a few foreign torrent sites are no longer part of DNS in the US? And why not cut off the financial air supply for US sites that are copyright infringers?
Here is why we should care: the US should be the global leader in defending unfettered access to and usage of the Internet by citizens everywhere. Once we compromise the integrity of a basic service such as DNS in the name of copyright protection, we have no moral authority left to object to other nations manipulating the Internet for reasons that they consider expedient, such as suppressing political opposition. We cannot really criticize China for having a firewall once we start blocking foreign sites or cutting off domestic ones from their revenues on an injunctive relief basis, meaning without the other side being able to fight this in a court of law before the action is imposed as opposed to ex-post facto (yes, there are notice provisions in the PROTECT IP act but these are meaningless as currently drafted since there is no clear notice period and no ability to remedy).
This bill is the result of trying to impose the economics of scarcity by law into the realm of digital abundance. The sponsors of the bill refer to the sale of counterfeit goods as one reason for this bill but that strikes me as a red herring. This bill really appears to be about protecting publishers, music labels and movie studios in their existing form. I will argue in upcoming posts that employment in entertainment and intellectual property sectors can be helped more by embracing an open Internet than by fighting it and that on top of everything else PROTECT IP won't even be effective on the terms laid out by its sponsors (for fairly obvious technical reasons, such as direct TCP/IP access).

Big Victory for Google and UGC in General
Yesterday, a judge granted YouTube's Motion for Summary Judgment in the Viacom v. YouTube litigation. This is a major victory for all user generated content (UGC) companies because it strongly affirms the DMCA safe harbor. Congrats to David Drummond and the legal team at Google. Given that Google has been defending Internet freedom on a number of fronts it must feel good for them to score this victory. Great coverage can be found over at the EFF.
With this decision it is even more important than ever before that any web company that has UGC — and that includes just having forums! — make sure to register with the Copyright office ($105). In addition to registering you also need to include appropriate DMCA language in the terms of service with a reference to the designated agent registered with the Copyright office. I am often surprised to find that startups that have extensive UGC components are not familiar with this.

Military Developing 'Universal Translator' on Smartphones
The United States government recently announced progress in a years-long effort to create a Star Trek-like "universal translator" device.
The developing technology – which runs on a smartphone – could soon enable the military to communicate with non-English speakers in lieu or even in place of a human translator.
The new tests were conducted by the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) as part of a program spearheaded by the military's R&D wing DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency).
They involved native speakers of Pashto, a dialect in Afghanistan, responding to greetings, directives for vehicle searches and other common communiqués issued in English by U.S. marines.
Soldiers in Afghanistan, Iraq and other foreign engagements are often sorely in need of trustworthy translators. The TRANSTAC (spoken language communication and TRANSlation system for TACtical use) program aims to fill this gap with always-available, voice-recognition technologies .
During the tests, a smartphone – a Google Nexus One, in some cases – loaded with the TRANSTAC program was held up near speakers' mouths. Speech-to-text software distinguished the spoken words and created a text file, naturally, which was then translated to the target language, as NIST explained in a statement.
Within seconds, this freshly translated text file was "said aloud" by the smartphone's audio components in a pre-programmed voice understandable to the non-English speaker. This process is simply reversed for the foreign language speaker's reply.
Three different real-time, two-way translation systems were evaluated in the NIST tests. Besides Pashto, the Afghani dialect of Dari and Iraqi Arabic are also candidates for machine-guided translation.
Now four years in, the TRANSTAC program remains well short of the "universal translator" instrument espoused in the science fiction franchise Star Trek. The fantastical technology allows English-speaking Enterprise crewmembers to instantly converse with aliens, a handy gizmo for those seeking out new life and new civilizations in episodes airing for less than an hour.
NIST, in light of the parallel, included Trek references in a video produced about the steps forward with the TRANSTAC program. The government's hope is that such a profound tool for breaking down the language barrier – especially in tense, life-or-death war zone situations – will not take another 250 years to become a reality.

Using an M16 with a broken stock, a starlight scope and an M14, Ed Eaton fought off an unknown number of enemy in the middle of an unknown rice patty in an unheralded little part of the Vietnam War. In the process, he save the lives of his commanding officer and comrades after their helicopter went down from enemy fire.
Unwilling to leave others behind, Eaton repeatedly put accurate fire downrange, holding off a significantly larger force. Eaton himself was injured: multiple gunshot wounds and a broken back. Yet, he was the last to leave the field, and because of his willingness to risk his own life for his brothers, others now live.

We are a mere two weeks away from Oklahoma's annual Red White game, which is set for April 12th, at 2 pm. The Sooners are riding high, after a successful 11-2 season, culminating in a Sugar bowl Championship. The game also made Bob Stoops the only coach in the BCS era to win all 4 BCS games, and a National Title.
Obviously, there are a lot of reasons to celebrate the accomplishments of 2013. Considering that many thought this would be a down year for Oklahoma. I thought 9-4 would be a great season for this team.
However, we need to look ahead to the 2014 season, and how this team has been developing during the Spring practices. These are some of the areas that I believe we should be looking at when the Sooners take the field for this annual scrimmage:
I'll address the offensive side of the ball first. The offensive line, is in relatively good shape. The question mark would be replacing Gabe Ikard. He was the leader of this unit. He had such a command of the offense, it was almost like having a second quarterback on the field.
The responsibility of replacing him falls to junior Ty Darlington. He doesn't have much playing experience under his belt, but the line around him does. Three seniors in Adam Shead, Darryl Williams, and Tyrus Thompson. Fellow junior Nila Kasitiati will also be on the line, who played in all 13 games, starting in seven, including the Sugar Bowl.
The four other players around him should aide him in becoming a suitable replacement for Ikard. Shead, and Williams are both continuing to recover from injuries, and will not play in the game. You also have quality guys including senior Dionte Savage and junior Derek Farniok, who both have starting experience off the bench.
The running backs, rank the highest in the amount of question marks. Last year players like Keith Ford and Alex Ross, were not featured as much due to having quality depth at the RB position – seniors Brendan Clay, Roy Finch, and departed Daminen Williams. Keith Ford did see the field some, mainly in short yardage situations. During the Sugar Bowl, Ford had only three carries, however, all three of those carries kept drives alive against a nationally perceived superior run defense that was the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Keith Ford certainly is the favorite at this time to be the starting running back. Alex Ross is fast, though we have not had a chance to see what he can do in the real world, this game will give him a chance to show us what he can do. You also have Joe Mixon who will be coming on campus this fall. He is expected to make an impact during the upcoming season. When talking about these running backs, to channel my inner T.O., "Get your popcorn ready."
Another major question is about the group of tight ends, particularly Blake Bell. He is transitioning from quarterback to tight end for his final year. So far the coaching staff have been positive about his performance during the spring practices. He's big, he's athletic, and has significant playing experience in Oklahoma's offense.
Fellow redshirt sophomore Taylor McNamara and new comer Isaac Ijalana, who transferred from the junior college level. All three of these players have questions. It will be interesting to see how Coach Heupel incorporates them. At the very least, Blake Bell will be featured during the spring contest.
Defensively, the team has the task of stopping that OU offense during the annual red-white game. The group I believe that has the most question marks are the secondary. Zach Sanchez, takes over as the premier corner with the departure of Arron Colvin. Freshman Stanvon Taylor and sophomore Cortez Johnson both have starting experience from the previous year and will be competing to replace the leader of the 2013 group.
The defense's front seven is probably the most exciting part of this game to me. This group by far is the most experienced of all the Sooners on the field. I am looking forward to seeing what improvements Mike Stoops has made in stopping the run. This group was fairly effective last season overall, finishing 20th in total defense. You have Geneo Grissom, Charles Tapper, Eric Striker, Dominque Alexander, just to name a few impact players returning to this defense.
This group improved from its lack luster 2012 ranking, to become 24th in the nation in stopping the run. They still allowed big plays when facing the run. What better way to test that than against Trevor Knight, Keith Ford, and some possible tom foolery involving a Belldozer type play.
To recap, the things to pay close attention to, are the running backs, tight ends, corners, and the defensive front seven. This team should be improved from even a year ago, especially the defensive front. We could be looking at a national title winning team for 2014. These questions will begin to be answered on April 12th.
Whether its for their spring game or the upcoming season in the fall you can find all your Oklahoma football ticket needs here.

I love Sanislo the teachers are awesome I never want to leave Sanislo!Mr.Simmons and the other teachers are great they believe in us!They trust and they make a bond with us like we are family and I always feel like I'm family!And they feel like they're family to me too!
Our family has been extremely happy with his Sanislo experience. Extremely diverse student body. Experienced and motivated teachers. A location among the trees and wetlands. Our principal, Ms. Nelson is in her second year and is working hard leading by example and setting high expectations. The art teacher is EXCEPTIONAL!
Sanislo is a small school but it's a grate school my daughter loves sanislo. She seas it's the best school in seattle.And she enjoys unicicling after school. The teachers are grate teachers.For kinderegarten it's the beast schooling there could ever be.
Still a great school, but when we lost Eric Nelson, an amazing principal & Mrs. T, a HUGE loss for Sanislo's PE & SCATTS program...well it just doesn't feel the same. We still have a fabulous Art teacher! My daughter loves the after school CDSA program, they are wonderful at helping her with homework!
Amazing staff. Terrific teachers. Great parent support. Afterschool fun includes jump-rope club, tumbling, chess and much more. Highly recommend no matter where you live - worth the drive.
I actually just graduated from Sanislo myself and I have to say Sanislo is the best school ever! The principal Eric Nelson is absolutly fabulous. My teachers Sherry Wicklund and Dennis Purcell have taught me great things and both have a passion for teaching. Best of all there is Ms. T (the P.E. teacher) She has been teaching for over 35 years now and her husband Mr. T and herself have started a program called SCATS which was established over 30 years ago. SCATS which I am in includes juggling, unicycling, tumbling, jumrope, double dutch and much more. We perform for schools and other groups and have a great time! I LOOOOOVE Sanislo so much and I hope anyone who reads this will find out more about this totally cool school and love it as much as I did!
sanislo is by far one of the most hidden elementary school in west seattle. very structured, highly motivated staff under great leadership makes the school environment an outstanding place for children to learn and grow.
I highly recommend Sanislo to other parents looking for a great elementary school. They have a variety of programs available to students - both to those who struggle academically as well as those who need more challenge and are able to excel beyond their peer level. Additionally, Sanislo provides a multitude of extra-curricular programs to challenge and develop awareness of the student including sports, music, art and things like environmental awareness. This is an ethnically diverse school and Eric Nelson, the principal, is amazing in the way he works to meet the needs of families in this community. Within the first few weeks of school Eric and the entire staff know the name of every student at Sanislo. If you're looking for a creative, warm, welcoming scool, with a commitment to academic exellence, Sanislo is the school for you!
Sanislo is great! Caring teachers and staff members go over and above to get to know students and families. The environment is warm, friendly, and creative. The school provides many ways for students to shine. The ratios are a bit high, especially given the open-concept of the school. I was concerned about that at first, but I think the positive aspect of allowing the teachers and instructional assistants to truly team-teach and model cooperative behavior outweighs the downside. The principal at the school is a big-picture guy, who demonstrates respect towards faculty and staff and delegates easily. He maintains an excellent rapport with families and students. The disciplinary style at the school is to maintain high expectations for student behavior and to deal with problems with empathy and respect, rather than punitive measures, for the most part. Focus on whole child through extras like SCATS, music, art, community garden.

Everyone has heard the phrase 'beauty sleep' and it's generally agreed that getting enough kip is a good thing, but it's actually way more important than helping you look good. Getting into a good sleep routine is an extremely effective way to gain control of your own health, stress levels and boost your general wellbeing.
The revolutionary memory foam spring mattress. Dormeo Octaspring have launched the next generation of innovative sleep products.
Most of us go through periods in our lives when sleep is hard to come by. You're probably familiar with the standard advice: keep your bedroom calm, avoid caffeine after midday, eliminate sources of light, don't spend too much time on your iPad before sleeping, count sheep, yada yada yada…
But what happens when you've followed all the advice and you still can't sleep?
Why use essences? Vibrational essences can be used as a self-help tool or preventative measure for your day to day living.

Jason Collins made big news this past NBA offseason when he came out and announced he was gay. There was plenty of discussion about it with opinions from both sides, but the majority of people were supportive of Collins. As the NBA season is ready to tip off, Collins is not on a team. This was the NBA's and in particular commissioner David Stern's nightmare situation. A player comes out and admits he is gay and now he is on the outside looking in at the league.
Collins is older, at the end of his career, and everything that comes with that, but he has been renowned as a great locker room presence, a leader, and a character guy. Doc Rivers lauded how much Collins brought to the Celtics when he was there. There is definitely a place in the NBA for a player like Collins.
The thought process among NBA circles is teams are not worried about Collins in the locker room (at least not publicly), but they are worried about the attention he will draw from the media. The concern is he will receive so much attention, he will be a distraction. There is probably some truth to that and if the attention could be solely directed towards Collins, it would be a problem that can be handled. Collins is an extremely mature, intelligent man who could handle that attention and get rid of it as he needed.
The concern is with the rest of the team. Potentially having 19, 20, and 21 year old players being asked questions about this by media members who are looking for a story. One slip up or perhaps even a true opinion uttered and suddenly that player is in a position where they are the story of the day and everyone is judging them for how they feel. That is a problem. There will be people asking, poking, and prodding and parsing every word players say in hopes of catching them in a story.
So while Collins can and should be in the league based on his own merits, it is a legitimate concern of how things would unfold with him in the locker room. The question would be about how maturely his teammates could handle the situation, but the real question is how maturely the media could handle the situation. History suggests they cannot and would not handle it well, but will point the finger at the NBA and its players.

Over the weekend, The Wife and I decided to head out to one of the local pub n grubs to get some well…. beer and food. Our destination was J.R. Mac's which is located along West 7th Street in St. Paul, being roughly half way in between Fort Snelling and the Xcel center. Arriving it's a little difficult to figure out where to park if their lot is full, but in one of the better neighborhoods to not getting a parking ticket so you can pretty much park anywhere along the street. From the initial opening of their front door you get the Cheers bar feel and a slight bit of panic like you aren't a regular if you don't know to seat yourself. There is a large assortment of booths and tables, but definitely has more of a bar feel to the point you wouldn't really want to bring more than 3 other people with you if you don't want to wait for food.
The Menu
Not going into any specific items, they have a menu fairly consistent with many bar/restaurants in the area with a few different types of burgers and sandwiches and maybe few soups or something else so your decision of what to get is made pretty easy. One very nice part is that most of their menu items are $5.95 with chips or add another $0.95 for fries that The Wife described as "perfect" which are slightly on the crunchy side. Also if you plan ahead after your first visit they tend to have some sort of food special every day of the week except Sunday. I haven't every taken advantage of this but am usually not a fan of eating something that is only sold a specific day of the week.
The Brews
Their beers on tap and what you can get in bottles seems to be a much smaller selection that at most bars consisting mostly of common beers like Michelob, Budweiser, and Miller. They do have a Summit, but not much variety so if you are looking to grab a Flat Earth or something more exotic this isn't the place to look.
The Experience/Food
After sitting down in the sparsely populated restaurant, we were waited on almost immediately and within minutes our orders were placed and we had our drinks. I ordered the J R Mac Burger (of course!) and The Wife got a Virginia (a Rachel without sour kraut?) to be difficult both with fries. The cook must have not been busy because our orders were up in less than 10 minutes. The Wife was very pleased with her Virginia, and loved the crispy fries. My J R Mac burger was excellent, I am always slightly surprised at how large it actually is barely being able to fit into a fully opened mouth. I would describe the burger as a high class Big Mac including thousand island dressing, but no pickles. The only thing that bothers be about it is, it's so good it makes it hard to try something else.
Overall I would say J R Mac's makes one of the best if not the best burgers along West 7th. Their location and service also would be hard to beat anywhere in the area without paying 2 – 3 times as much. It's definitely worth your money and time to venture there for a good burger/sandwich.
It's said J…… R…… Mac's.

steampunk, crafts, leather, hat, top hat, plague doctor, horror,
Good question. I don't actually make anything. I can't draw, so I write. I have close to 300 pages worth of steampunk/dieselpunk/atomicpunk art and historical photos, so it's really tough to say. But after flipping through the pages, I found this: The Flying City was one of my favorites.
The man-made, real life stuff tagged history and historical is impressive, though.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame's Senior Committee announcement this morning of the two senior nominees to the Hall's Class of 2014 will make those who have been pushing for longtime Oakland Raiders punter Ray Guy happy.
However, it won't make those who have been pushing for the nomination of former Green Bay Packers guard Jerry Kramer very happy.
That's because once again Kramer has been overlooked by the senior committee. In addition to Guy, the committee selected defensive end Claude Humphrey.
Here's the tweet that was sent out just minutes ago:
Punter Ray Guy and DE Claude Humphrey named senior nominees for #PFHOF14. Details to come on http://t.co/WZrbggzFXM
— Pro Football HOF (@ProFootballHOF) August 21, 2013
The senior committee met in Canton this week and the announcement was made this morning. They consider players whose careers ended at least 25 years ago and are not already members of the Hall of Fame.
According to the Hall of Fame website, "The two senior nominees will automatically be included among the group of 17 finalists to be considered by the entire Selection Committee during its annual selection meeting on Feb. 1 in New York/New Jersey, the site of Super Bowl XLVIII.
Not to take anything away from the nominees – they are well deserved – it just doesn't look so good for Jerry Kramer.

6 Ways You Can Encourage Your Daughter to Dream
- Tuesday, November 05, 2013
For some children, it's obvious what their calling is. They come out of the womb, it seems, with big plans of what they want to accomplish with their lives. For most, however, it can be a mystery - a secret worth pulling out of them.
That's where you and I, as parents come in. You may have one child who's a dreamer - it's part of her personality - she knows exactly what she wants to do with her life. Yet, the other may take a while to develop creative abilities or academic interests. But by watching and praying for wisdom to help cultivate that dream God has placed on their hearts, we can be there to be the wind beneath their wings when it's time for them to fly.
In my book, When a Mom Inspires Her Daughter, I outline six steps to encourage your daughter to discover and pursue her dream (and I believe these steps can apply to our sons, as well):
1. Let Her Explore
Kelly grew up with a critical mother who didn't lavish much praise on her. But she does remember one thing her mother did very well:
"She always allowed me to explore, try, and learn. I devoured books, movies, classes, and school stuff. I asked questions and got answers. I was able to go places and do things to learn more about everything around me, to challenge me, and to let me grow. Eventually I became comfortable in my own skin because I had a childhood to explore who God designed me to be."
Help her explore new areas. One of them might be the area in which she truly shines.
2. Look and Listen for What Makes Her Heart Sing
Sometimes we don't see a dream on our child's horizon because that dream is still developing. Or, as it was developing, we weren't necessarily looking for it.
Sara says she wishes she had noticed her daughter's dream when Lauren, now 23, was a little girl. "It took me too long to recognize Lauren's strong gravitation toward the arts. I am not artistically gifted but she is! She writes music and poetry, sings, plays musical instruments, loves photography and her painting aptitude is amazing! I wish I had seen this in her when she was little."
Jean, who has five daughters ages 2-11 is aware of how easily each of them could slip through the cracks when it comes to encouraging them in the area of their dreams.
Jean says: "I spend a lot of time with them and try to be a student of all of my daughters -- understanding who they are, who they are becoming, and what they want to become. By doing that I get an idea of what God's purpose may be in their lives so I can help steer them in His direction."
What is your daughter saying now about what she is interested in? What is she saying she no longer wants to do? That can give you an idea of where her dream may or may not lie.
3. Let Her Take a Break - or Change her Mind
Sometimes our children try something but find it's not what they had hoped or wanted, after all. Yes, we need to teach our children commitment and how to stick with something, but after the commitment (and hopefully she never signs up for more than a one-year commitment at a time), let her reevaluate. Sometimes she was simply gaining skills for the next step, which is something different. And sometimes she just needs time off to get her heart back for it (as was the case with my daughter, Dana, when it came to giving up piano lessons. She returned to it five years later with an amazing ability and passion for it that I never saw in her earlier!).
Cheri Gregory says this about being made to continue with her piano lessons when her dream was elsewhere.
"I wish my mom could have understood how important horseback riding was to me and let me keep up with my lessons, instead of making me stop riding, but continue piano. I took 15 years of piano lessons from top instructors and quit, never to play again, after I went to college. It was such a waste, and I was terrible -- just terrible -- in performance. On the other hand, my riding instructor said I showed exceptional promise, and I've always wondered what my life might have been like if I could have kept doing the one thing I wanted to do. "

Really good product. I love it with the Meguiar's microfiber pads.

Would they buy this item again? Yes
If you are performing paint corrections and using any type of heavy compound, this brush is a must have. It effectively removes build up and helps prevent pads from becoming completely saturated. It brings microfiber and surbuf pads back to life. One feature I really like is the handle. When soaking and washing pads the handle works great to apply pressure and gently scrape/squeegee product out of the pads pores.

As children with special health care needs and disabilities reach adulthood, they face an often difficult transition from pediatric care to adult health care. Make that challenging shift much easier with this comprehensive problem—solving guide, the book that helps professionals across systems work together on effective health care transition plans for youth and adolescents with a range of special health care needs and disabilities. This strategy—filled planning resource helps readers
Professionals will get everything they need for successful health care transition planning
With this thorough and readable guide to an often-overlooked aspect of transition planning, professionals from a wide range of settings will come together to ensure effective, coordinated medical care as adolescents reach adulthood.
Excerpted from Chapter 1 of Promoting Health Care Transitions for Adolescents with Special Health Care Needs and Disabilities, edited by Cecily L. Betz, Ph.D., RN, FAAN, & Wendy M. Nehring, Ph.D., RN, FAAN, FAAIDD
Copyright © 2007 by Paul H. Brookes Publishing Co. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
What is meant by health care transitions? This question can be answered by examining the professional literature and policy statements formulated by several professional associations and governmental agencies. The transition, including health care transition to adulthood, occurs over an extended period time and cannot be considered a discrete event (White, 1997). As will be discussed throughout this book, transition planning is a lifelong process as each successive developmental achievement enables an individual to evolve through the stages of childhood and adolescence and into adulthood. For the purposes of this chapter, health care transition is conceived as a dynamic process (NCYD, 1995) with a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning phase includes the decision to begin or prepare for the transition. The middle phase, transition readiness, includes logistical and other efforts of preparation for and implementation of the transition. Transition readiness is defined as the specific decisions made and actions taken in building the capacity of the adolescent and those in his or her primary medical system of support (parental caregivers/family and providers) to prepare for, begin, continue, and finish the process of transition (Telfair, Alexander, Loosier, Alleman-Velez, & Simmons, 2004). The final or end stage occurs when the adolescent or young adult not only transfers to an adult care setting but also is actively participating in adult care activities, such managing as independently as possible the daily requirements of his or her treatment regimen, working with providers to plan his or her own medical care, deciding if a provider to whom he or she is referred is someone with whom he or she can work, and, if necessary, finding and choosing a different provider.
Given this reality, transition experts have defined the term transition from a number of different perspectives depending on their disciplinary focus, research or clinical experience, and time period (see Table 1.1 for a sampling of transitionrelated definitions). There are several commonalities in these definitions. All definitions agree that transitioning is a process involving the services and support of one or more health care professionals who have specialized expertise in transition planning. Another area of agreement is that the primary goal of health care transitions is the successful transfer of the adolescent from pediatric care providers to adult care providers. Although not explicitly stated, the definitions also imply that the transfer of care entails the establishment of an acceptable, workable relationship between the provider(s) and the new patient. As research has demonstrated, an important measurement of transfer success is continued patient contact with the health care provider—whether it be an adult specialty or primary care physician or nurse practitioner—after the initial office visit.
Beyond these areas of consensus, differences emerge. Some experts view health care transition planning as focused on medical needs (Anderson, Flume, Hardy, & Gray, 2002; Nasr, Campbell, & Howatt, 1992; Pacaud, McConnell, Huot, Aebi, & Yale, 1996) whereas others have more expansive perspectives, suggesting that transition be viewed not just from a sole provider's perspective of transfer of care from the pediatrician to the internist and adult medical specialists, but as a comprehensive approach to learning new developmental competencies and the new systems of care for health, education, employment, and community living (Rettig & Athreya, 1991; Sawyer et al., 1998; Scal, et al., 1999). Those with a more encompassing concept of transition planning embody more fully the emerging consensus of transition experts described in the following section. It is apparent that the question of what constitutes effective transition planning is only beginning to be answered from an empirical perspective. However, the growing interest and attention in the health care system to the issue of transition planning is creating a collective effort to describe the principles of best practices. That is, it is becoming clear that transitioning is more than a transfer process from one provider to another, and the explanatory emphasis of health care transition planning should be placed on the growing evidence of what constitutes best practices.
Several professional associations have taken a leadership role in describing a framework of best practices related to health care transition planning. The AAP, American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), and American College of Physicians–American Society of Internal Medicine (ACP–ASIM) issued A Consensus Statement on Health Care Transitions for Young Adults with Special Health Care Needs (AAP, AAFP, & ACP–ASIM, 2002). The major provisions of this joint statement include having care coordinator, a transfer health summary, a transition health care plan, provision of adequate primary and preventive care, and health insurance coverage. The details of this joint statement by the AAP, AAFP, and the ACPASIM (2002) are displayed below.
Statements of transition practice issued by the AAP (AAP, Committee on Children with Disabilities, 2000, 2001; AAP, Committee on Children with Disabilities and Committee on Adolescence, 1996), the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP; 2001), the Society of Adolescent Medicine (Rosen et al., 2003) and the DCSHCN share a number of similar recommendations. These recommendations advocate the following:
Clinical experts and researchers have contributed to the expanding body of knowledge and have offered a number of suggestions for developing and implementing transition service models. It is widely accepted that health care transition planning needs to be implemented according to a preplanned and structured process incorporating benchmarks of achievement. A best practices approach for transition planning incorporates timelines, identification of goal achievements, and processes for skills and knowledge achievement that can guide the practice of pediatric health professionals. As part of the structure and function of the medical care program, there be must good working relationships and communication between pediatric and adult providers (e.g., primary care providers, specialists, adjunct providers). Such relationships must be tempered with realism for a given setting since such relationships are more easily described than created or maintained (Betz & Redcay, 2002; Clare, 1998). Education of the adolescent, his or her family, other providers from multiple disciplines, and community members needs to emphasize outcomes that demonstrate knowledge and skills obtained. The goals of the program for support in the form of case management need to clearly describe relevant activities (Wojciechowski, Hurtig, & Dorn, 2002). Listening; demonstrating respect for opinions, concerns, and cultural values of the young person, family, and community; providing advice specific to problem solving; and including family and significant others in decision making are all important in providing support to the adolescent in transition.
