C163 - Creating a Roadmap for a Diverse Workforce in Academic Neurology
|Event Time:
|Tuesday May 7, 2019 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm
|General Neurology, Academic
|Nimish Mohile MD, FAAN, Roy Hamilton MD, MS, FAAN
|Neurology departments throughout the United States face innumerable challenges when it comes to increasing diversity, creating equity, and fostering inclusion. The purpose of this program is to bring together constituents in academic neurology departments to begin creating a roadmap for a diverse workforce in the field of neurology. The course will address three core topics including gender equity, inclusion of LGBTQI faculty, and improving representation of under-represented minorities. A roundtable discussion at the end will allow current diversity officers to share their experiences, discuss challenges, and begin a conversation about how best to define the roles and responsibilities of a diversity officer in an academic neurology department. The discussants will highlight specific actions that can be taken to begin to improve diversity in one's department. This two-hour session is part of the AAN Academic Initiative and is designed for diversity officers in academic departments, department leadership, and any faculty or staff members interested in improving diversity within academic neurology.
|Completion Message:
|Participants will be able to describe the current state of diversity, equity, and inclusion in academic neurology programs in the United States. They will be aware of initiatives to improve gender equity, LGBTQI diversity, and increase representation of under-represented minorities. Participants will become familiar with the roles of diversity officers in various academic neurology departments. Participants will begin to think of ways in which they can promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in their respective institutions.

Why go out and buy a webcam if you already own a camcorder? With DVdriver, your camcorder becomes a webcam. Not just any webcam either, but a superb one with video quality that far exceeds that of typical webcams. (Of course, you can still use a webcam if you wish).
An important feature of DVdriver is that it can feed your camcorder's video to several applications at the same time. You can, for example, use your camcorder's video in Yahoo's instant messaging service and in MSN Messenger's chat at the same time. Simultaneously, you could be using a third program to capture the video to disk. DVdriver takes care of duplicating the video stream from your camcorder and sending it to all the programs you're using.
DVdriver can also control the optical zoom of many camcorder models from your PC. This unique feature requires no external hardware. Test your camcorder using the free trial software.
To get even more functionality from DVdriver, combine it with a hardware accessory that can give you the ultimate in remote monitoring. Chose from TrackerPod® or MotorPod, or PowerPod, depending on the weight of your camera.

Three members of the Harvard women's water polo team earned All-Northern Division honors. Two players were featured on the first team while one was selected to the second team. The announcement was made Friday evening at the Collegiate Water Polo Association Eastern Championship banquet.
Sophomores Devan Kennifer and Monica Zdrojewski were tabbed to the All-Northern Division first team. Kennifer, the 2009 CWPA Northern Division Rookie of the Year, claims her second-consecutive first team selection. The sophomore is the Crimson's leading scorer with 63 goals on the season. The Monterey, Calif., product has registered 13 hat tricks on the season. She has also been named the CWPA Northern Division Player of the Week on two occasions this season, March 8 and March 22.
Zdrojewski is second on the squad in scoring with 30 goals. The sophomore was an All-Northern Division second team selection after a strong freshman campaign. The Irvine, Calif., native garnered Northern Division Player of the Week honors April 19. Zdrojewski was honored after scoring a pair of goals, including the overtime game winner, in Harvard's opening conference win over Brown.
Freshman Elise Molnar was an All-Northern Division second team honoree. The rookie has tallied 22 goals this season for the Crimson. She was named the CWPA Northern Division Rookie of the Week once this season, Feb. 8. Molnar earned the recognition after burying nine markers in four games at the Harvard Invitational.
Harvard wrapped up the regular season with a 12-12 overall record and a 1-3 mark in the Northern Division. The Crimson also earned an at-large berth to the Eastern Championship.

Different people eat different things at Christmas. It is part of what makes Christmas special for them. In Norway, Christmas would not be Christmas without a special fish dish called "lutefisk". You say it "loo-ta-fisk".
I have a very special recipe for lutefisk given to me by an elf from Norway. Make sure you read the whole thing!:
1. Get a lutefisk
2. Put it on a pine board
3. Flatten the fish
4. Put salt, pepper and butter on the fish
5. Bake it for 30 minutes on the board
6. Let it cool
7. Throw out the lutefisk and eat the board!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Most people think lutefisk is way too stinky to eat. They won't even try it. Yes, it is a stinky Christmas fish. But, if you tried it, it has a certain "charm". I tease the elf children that it is made of green eggs and ham. But none of them will try it. 🙁
There is also a funny Lutefisk song that the elf taught me. You sing it to the same tune as "O Christmas Tree". Here is some of it:
"Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, how fragrant your aroma,
Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, you put me in a coma.
You smell so strong, you look like glue,
You taste just like an overshoe,
But lutefisk, come Saturday,
I tink I eat you anyvay
Lutefisk, O lutefisk, I put you in the doorvay.
I wanted you to ripen up just like they do in Norvay.
A dog came by and sprinkled you.
I hit him with my overshoe.
O lutefisk, now I suppose
I'll eat you while I hold my nose.
Lutefisk, O lutefisk, how well I do remember.
On Christmas Eve how we'd receive our big treat of December.
It wasn't turkey or fried ham.
It wasn't even pickled Spam.
My mother knew there was no risk
In serving buttered lutefisk."
Ho! Ho! Ho! Isn't that a silly song?
Merry Christmas!
Santa Claus
P.S. What do you like to eat at Christmas? (You can leave a message for me. Or, scroll down to see what others have written!)

Musician Andy Hummel, the original bassist for American power pop band Big Star, has died of cancer.
Hummel,59, passed away just four months after fellow Big Star band member and lead singer Alex Chilton died at the same age of a heart attack.
Hummel played on the band's first two albums, "#1 Record," and "Radio City." He also co-wrote one of Big Star's most notable songs, "Back of a Car."
Big Star never achieved mainstream commercial success, but their alchemic fusing of the best aspects of bands like the Beatles, The Byrds and The Who earned them enduing cult status. Rolling Stonesaid that the band, "...created a seminal body of work that never stopped inspiring succeeding generations of rockers, from the power-pop revivalists of the late 1970s to alternative rockers at the end of the century to the indie rock nation in the new millennium."

Your shoes hit the ground first – before the energy is transferred through/to your skeletal/muscular systems. They should be fit correctly. Many running stores there days have video analysis of your gait to aid them in selecting proper shoes. Here's an excerpt from Running Anatomy that will help. It's published with permission of Human Kinetics.
Running shoes work for running because they are designed and manufactured to meet the demands of bearing three to four times the body's weight on impact, are designed for the biomechanics of running, and are biomechanically (and, to a lesser extent, terrain) specific.
Running shoes are designed on lasts, or forms that are models of the human foot. These lasts have shapes ranging from curved to straight with variations on the degrees of the curve, which make the shoes appropriate for the various foot shapes of runners. The term last also applies to the methodology of construction. A combination-lasted shoe stitches the upper fabric underneath a cardboard heel to provide stability. A slip-lasted shoe stitches the upper directly to the midsole, ensuring flexibility. A full-board-last (cardboard from heel to toe) shoe is the most stable lasting technique but currently is almost nonexistent in shoe manufacturing.
Theoretically, curved slip-lasted shoes are designed for higher-arched, rigid feet, whereas straight combination-lasted shoes are designed for flatter, more flexible feet. Because flat feet tend to pronate (the inward rolling of the rear foot, controlled by the subtalar joint) more than high-arched feet, straight-lasted shoes, with the aid of stability devices embedded in the midsole, help limit the rate and amount of pronation. Conversely, runners who underpronate should wear curved to slightly curved slip-lasted shoes, which allow the foot to generate as much pronation as possible to help aid in shock absorption.
Many runners err in choosing shoes because they do not know what foot type they have. If an underpronator trains in stability shoes, predictable injuries like calf pain, Achilles tendinitis, and iliotibial band syndrome will occur. If an overpronator trains in a cushioning-only shoe, stress injuries (including fractures) to the foot, tibia, and the medial knee likely will occur. For most runners, a qualified employee at a running specialty store can evaluate foot biomechanics, possibly by using a treadmill and a video camera, and successfully recommend multiple shoe models that, in theory, will prevent injury and provide a pleasurable ride. Occasionally, evaluating the foot becomes tricky due to motion not seen clearly by the naked eye, and a slow-motion camera may be needed to ascertain true foot movement. This is rare and usually not found in recreational runners due to lower training volume and velocity. Understand that biomechanics can change; what was once corrected may no longer be a problem, and new problems can arise.

I have no idea what So Kawaii Cheek means, but I can imagine Pikachu saying it, so it's staying.
I am a fan of Canmake, a Japanese make up brand which is very much on the lower end of the scale – it's affordable, cute and interesting although not everything from the range is perfect.
I already own some of the Canmake Cream Cheek Blushers, they're lovely, easy to blend and easy to use.
I purchase 2 of the new colours, 09 Loveable Pink and 10 Sweet Orange:
These are palm sized, so handy for carrying around and yes you can use them on your lips! They're not too drying for that.I love these kind of bright cream blushers – they never look that bright once applied but they do add a really nice cute glow to the cheek.
Loveable Pink is a blue based pink it's lovely. Sweet orange is a bright tangerine type shade, right up my alley:
The texture of these cream blushers is great – it's neither too thin nor too thick. It has a milky creamy base type colour – it's not sheer or transparent like say, a cheek tint type product.
Photos were taken before the blog changed so if they look a little grainy, my bad – my next batch of photographs will be taken at very hi res with my new camera.
Verdict: So cute, so lovely, well worth trying out. Only downside is that it won't last all day – half a day at the most but it's worth it! Plus no cream blush lasts that long on me.
I bought this from eBay, cost £6 each (much more expensive than the retail which is just £3-£4).

WASHINGTON - The U.S. is sending military aircraft and more forces to assist in the hunt for fugitive African warlord Joseph Kony, more than doubling the number of American troops and airmen on the ground to 250.
The beefed up U.S. assistance could be "the decisive game changer" in the hunt for Kony, whose Lord's Resistance Army appears weaker than ever before amid growing defections and the loss of senior commanders, an expert said Monday.
"The timing is right," said Kasper Agger, an Africa researcher with the Enough Project, which fights to end crimes against humanity. He said the deployment of the vertical-takeoff Ospreys "could be the decisive game changer in the mission to end the LRA."
A senior U.S. military official confirmed Monday that the U.S. is sending at least four CV-22 Osprey aircraft and about 150 more Air Force special operations members and airmen to assist African forces. The official confirmed the plans on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss them on the record.
Obama sent about 100 U.S. troops to help African Union forces in 2011 find Kony, but so far he has eluded them in the vast jungles of central Africa. The additional support will enable the African Union troops "to conduct targeted operations to apprehend remaining LRA combatants," National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said early Monday.
"Our African partners have consistently identified airlift as one of their greatest limiting factors as they search for and pursue the remaining LRA leaders across a wide swath of one of the world's poorest, least governed and most remote regions," Hayden said.
The aircraft will be based in Uganda and will be used in Central African Republic, Congo and South Sudan, she said. The U.S. advisers are assisting about 2,500 African Union troops to chase LRA fighters in a jungle about the size of France.
"The deployment of these aircraft and personnel does not signify a change in the nature of the U.S. military advisory role in this effort," Hayden said. "African Union-led regional forces remain in the lead, with U.S. forces supporting and advising their efforts."
The LRA is accused by the United Nations and human rights groups of killing and mutilating innocent civilians and kidnapping thousands of children, forcing them to become soldiers and sex slaves.
The CV-22 Osprey is a versatile aircraft that can fly like a plane and a helicopter. Its ability to take off and land vertically should make it effective in the heavy jungle areas where the troops are operating.
"These aircraft are very helpful. They enhance our capacity, particularly in the search operations, reconnaissance, airlifts," said Lt. Col. Paddy Ankunda, the Ugandan military spokesman.
The LRA originated in Uganda in the 1980s as a tribal uprising against the government. In 2005 Kony became the first suspect to be indicted by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
After it was ousted from Ugandan territory in 2005, the group scattered into parts of Congo and Central African Republic. There are between 200 to 500 LRA fighters still active in the jungle, according to estimates from the Ugandan military and the Enough Project.
Kony himself is believed to be hiding in the border region between Central African Republic and Sudan's South Darfur region.
Muhumuza reported from Kampala, Uganda.

Cyber schools flunk, tax money flows
Taxpayers send nearly $2 billion a year to cyber schools that let students from kindergarten through 12th grade receive a free public education entirely online.
The schools, many managed by for-profit companies, are great at driving up enrollment with catchy advertising. They excel at lobbying. They have a knack for making generous campaign donations.
Story Continued Below
But as new state report cards coming out now make clear, there's one thing they're not so good at: educating kids.
( Also on POLITICO: Do American public schools really stink? Maybe not)
In state after state, online school after online school posts dismal scores on math, writing and science tests and mediocre scores on reading. Administrators have long explained their poor results by saying students often come to their schools far behind and make excellent progress online, even if they fall short of passing state tests.
But lately, more states have begun measuring how much students actually learn during the school year — and a POLITICO review of the data shows many cyber schools are flunking that test.
Ohio's six biggest cyber schools all got Fs on their state progress reports, meaning students learned nowhere near a year's worth of material in a year of studying online. In Colorado, students at five of the six biggest cyber schools failed to make as much annual growth in math as peers around the state — often by yawning margins. In South Carolina, all four cyber charter high schools had academic growth ratings of 'below average' or 'at risk,' as did two of the three elementary schools.
Of the eight virtual schools with growth data in Pennsylvania, only one made adequate gains with students in both reading and math. And kids at Tennessee Virtual Academy made less academic progress this past year than students at every other school in the state.
The scores are so bad, especially at the largest and most high-profile cyber schools, that even fervent advocates of online learning have begun to worry.
( See also: POLITICO's Morning Education)
"Unless we address these quality issues that have emerged quite profoundly," the poor performance of cyber schools will "put the entire industry of education innovation at risk," said Susan Patrick, president of the International Association for K-12 Online Learning, an industry trade group. "We need to have an honest discussion about this."
Fans of online schools, which serve about 275,000 full-time students nationwide, say they offer a flexibility and freedom that traditional schools can never match because students move through the curriculum at their own pace. Advocates say they're ideal for aspiring athletes and actors with heavy travel schedules; children with serious medical problems; and kids who never felt they fit in at a traditional school.
( Also on POLITICO: Online courses don't live up to hype)
Yet those strengths are also weaknesses. Students can email or call teachers for help or log in to online lectures, but there's little personal interaction. Many assignments meant to check for understanding are multiple choice; there's no way to stop kids from looking up the answers online. And the cyber schools, which get additional funds for each student enrolled, have incentives to keep families happy, which some teachers say leads to pressure to award passing grades regardless of effort.
K12 Inc., the largest cyber school management company, explicitly encourages teachers to forgive strings of zeros on homework and quizzes if the student can later show he's learned the concepts. Otherwise, kids who fail to do any work for weeks might get discouraged and drop out, said Allison Cleveland, an executive vice president at K12. "We shouldn't create an environment for students that they can't overcome," she said.
Such policies have fed growth at K12. Last month, the company reported its operating income jumped 58 percent in fiscal year 2013, with total revenue soaring to $848 million, much of that from state and federal education funds.
K12 executives have long rejected as invalid poor state reports on their students' progress. They have urged parents and investors to focus instead on an internal metric they use to measure progress, a series of multiple-choice tests known as Scantron, which students take at home without a proctor.
The company boasts that Scantron results show its students outpace the national norm for yearly growth in reading and match it in math. When the Securities and Exchange Commission questioned K12 about its academic results earlier this year, K12 again pointed to the Scantron data as proof of its success.
Yet those data are "not as accurate as they could be," K12 Executive Chairman Nathaniel Davis acknowledged in an interview.
The Scantron tests are optional for K12 students, and about 30 percent decline to take them. That means the company has been comparing a self-selected group of K12 students to the national norm, which isn't appropriate, Davis said.
The company, he said, needs to find "a more honest assessment" of student progress.
Davis said he pushed teachers to prod more students to take the Scantron last spring in hopes of getting a more valid sample. The company has not released data from those exams.
But the results may not much matter to the bottom line. After K12's stellar earnings report last month, analysts on a call with top executives didn't ask a single question about academic performance. And despite its notably poor results in schools across the country, K12 won approval to open new schools in states including Florida, Kansas, Michigan, South Carolina and Ohio this fall.
To be sure, there are a few bright spots in online education, a diverse field that includes both charter schools and schools overseen by states and local districts. Smaller cyber schools tend to do better. So do those that spend more on instruction to keep the student-teacher ratio low, state regulators say. Among big networks, schools run by Connections Education, a division of the publishing giant Pearson, tend to post better results.
Yet when researchers from the National Education Policy Center at the University of Colorado Boulder evaluated academic achievement at every one of the more than 300 online schools in the U.S., they found "serious and systemic" problems throughout the industry. There has been little effort by legislators to rein them in, said Gary Miron, a co-author of the report. The NEPC receives funding from unions that generally oppose online schools, but even strong proponents of digital learning say there's been a disturbing lack of movement to close failing cyber schools.

Deer gores New Hampshire hunter after being shot
The Associated Press
CORNISH, N.H. (AP) — A 54-year-old New Hampshire deer hunter is recovering after an eight-point buck gored him with an antler after being shot.
Everett Gray of Cornish shot the deer near his home Thursday afternoon and then moved in to finish the kill with a knife.
He said that's when the white-tail lunged at him, piercing his abdomen with an antler point and lifting him off the ground.
Gray told the Valley News (http://bit.ly/UiMDXh ) the deer rammed its head into his stomach and pushed him down a slope before he managed dislodge the antler point from his side.
While Gray was treated at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, his brother and a few friends went into the woods and dragged the buck back to his house and hung it in his garage.

This Lasik documentary was created by investigative journalists in Holland. The language is mostly Dutch, with English subtitles. The documentary focuses on corneal neuropathic path after Lasik and the suicidality it creates. Dutch physician Dr. Michael Brouwer and other Lasik sufferers in Holland are interviewed, as is Dr. Edward Boshnick in the United States (see EyeFreedom.com). The investigators ask: Is the experience of pain after Lasik really uncommon? What are the consequences when it occurs? Also interviewed are Dr. David Barsook and Dr. Morris Waxler. Dr. Barsook is Director of the Pain and Imaging Neuroscience (P.A.I.N.) Group at Boston Children's Hospital, MGH ,and McLean Hospital at Harvard University. Dr. Barsook maintains that corneal pain after Lasik follows an established model of neuropathic pain. Dr. Morris Waxler is the FDA's former chief research scientist on Lasik. Dr. Waxler maintains at his website HelpStopLasik.com that "The FDA does not want to admit that millions of people have now had a surgery that never should have been approved by its own rules. The FDA is now engaged in covering-up a scandal and an epidemic, and its own corrupt practices. This should be exposed, and LASIK should end." He revisits these conclusions in the video.

Starting pitching key in this golden era for Giants
Rotation members did not allow an earned run in first four games of the season
One day early in Spring Training, Giants manager Bruce Bochy reflected on his starting pitching and its almost unbelievable run of excellence.
"I haven't even had a long man in the bullpen for the last four years," he said. "That's pretty special."
His starting pitching has been so good for so long that one of the goals the Giants had this spring was to identify organizational depth for the inevitable. At some point, the Giants are going to lose a starter to an injury or they're going to have someone going so badly he needs a turn or two off.
Yeah, at some point, the Giants are going to have some of the same problems every other organization has. On the other hand, it may not be anytime soon.
Four games into the 2013 season, the Giants still had the best starting rotation in the land.
Their ERA was 0.00. Yes, you read that correctly.
"It's unbelievable," Bochy said.
In 26 innings, Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner, Tim Lincecum and Barry Zito walked 11, struck out 22 and compiled a 0.88 WHIP. The last Major League team to go that long without allowing an earned run at the beginning of a season was the 1976 Brewers, who went 31 2/3 innings.
The starting staff was finally proven to be mortal when Ryan Vogelsong allowed an earned run in the first against the Cardinals on Saturday.
In this era of unprecedented parity, it's almost impossible to figure out which teams are good enough to make the playoffs and which aren't.
So here's a simple formula: Judge every team by its rotation. That's where everything begins anyway.
It's why the Yankees won four World Series championships in the Joe Torre era. It's why the Blue Jays, Nationals and Tigers are hot commodities in 2013.
And it's why the Giants, who've won the World Series twice in the past three seasons, keep on keeping on.
Perhaps the most impressive part of this story is that the names have changed. Cain has been a 217-inning rock for six seasons. Lincecum has averaged 214 innings the past five seasons despite his problems last year.
But Bumgarner and Vogelsong have emerged only in the past two seasons.
And there's Zito.
He was considered a huge acquisition for the Giants when he left the A's after the 2006 season for what was the largest contract ever signed by a pitcher -- $126 million over seven years.
He's 10 games under .500 in his six-plus years with the Giants and has a 4.44 ERA. But not many people have handled tough times better than Zito.
He has worked hard to find solutions, whether it be training or location or whatever. Maybe, just maybe, he has found them.
After being left off the Giants' postseason roster in 2010, he was one of the heroes last season by pitching 7 2/3 shutout innings to force the National League Championship Series back to AT&T Park for the final two games. Zito then got the ball in Game 1 of the World Series and responded by allowing one run in 5 2/3 innings.
Now, the Giants have won 15 straight starts by Zito. In that time, he's gone 10-0 with a 3.18 ERA. His breaking ball has some of the bite back from his Oakland years, and his control has been precise.
Zito was especially important at the end of last season, when Lincecum was going so poorly that Bochy put him in the bullpen. Lincecum seemed to rediscover his magic in that role and got through a shaky five innings to win his first start of 2013.
All in all, it works. The Giants are baseball's model organization, beginning with arguably the best general manager (Brian Sabean) and best manager (Bochy) in the game. One of Sabean's lieutenants, Dick Tidrow, is among the most highly regarded pitching gurus in the game. Likewise, Giants Major League pitching coach Dave Righetti.
Bumgarner, Cain and Lincecum were all first-round Draft choices. Vogelsong was also a Giants draft pick who had a 10-year odyssey with three other organizations before returning to San Francisco and becoming a star.
In short, these are good days to be a Giants fan. They have arguably the most beautiful ballpark in the land. They have terrific executives and a manager who is headed for the Hall of Fame.
They've got a core of guys who are easy to root for, beginning with Buster Posey. They've got large personalities, like Pablo Sandoval and Lincecum. They've got two of the game's really good young players in Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt.
Once upon a time, they were the franchise that couldn't get over the hump. In their first 52 seasons on the West Coast, they got to the World Series three times without winning one. Now, they're one of the franchises every other is measured against. Enjoy the ride, Giants fans. These are the good days.

Bernard, a customer support rep for Activision, proclaimed that if he got more Twitter followers than his colleague, Randolph, by Friday, he'd pie Randy in the face. Bernard came up short but carried out the attack anyway. That's customer service.
Bernard lost by 1,400 to 340. I know cowardice when I see it and I point the finger squarely at Randolph, who failed to recognize his insurmountable lead and act pre-emptively.
Obviously the vid is a stab at viral marketing for Activision's customer support reps on Twitter, but hey, why not. I've tried it with other companies (not in video games, though) and my issue was taken care of seriously. And it beats hold music and phone trees.

If you're a regular viewer of Today's fourth hour, then you know that KLG and Hoda love to drink. They've dubbed Tuesdays "Boozedays" and Wednesdays "Winesdays." Let's name the other workdays of the week for them.
Keep in mind that they've recently christened—without breaking a bottle of champagne, sadly—Fridays "Drydays," since they are being forced to do exercise and health segments. So what should they call the other two days? My suggestions:
Mondays = "Rumdays"
Thursdays = "Thirstdays"

It was a tale of two halves.
At halftime, the No. 4 Stanford Cardinal and the No. 13 Virginia Tech Hokies were locked in a 13-12 grudge match in the Discover Orange Bowl in a game that had all the markings of a classic defensive struggle.
It's unsure what Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh told his team went they went into the locker room with a one point lead - maybe he let his players know that there's nothing to the rumors that he could be heading for an NFL job in short order, maybe he said the opposite - but whatever it was, the Cardinal came out possessed and put on a clinic on both sides of the ball, running up 27 unanswered points en route to a 40-12 victory.
U.S. & World
Andrew Luck, the Cardinal's star quarterback and the probable first pick in the 2011 NFL draft, showcased all of his talents on this night, throwing for 287 yards and four touchdowns and only one interception. He made precision throws, kept plays alive with his legs and marshaled his team's drives down the field with cool efficiency, leading them to their first BCS bowl victory under the watchful eye of NFL Hall of Fame signal caller John Elway, who took in the action from the sidelines.
It was a performance reminiscent of Elway, the former Stanford quarterback who is expected to become the Denver Broncos' chief football executive this week. He served as an honorary captain, and ex-Stanford QB Jim Plunkett was also on hand to lend support.
The Cardinal (12-1) likely will end the season ranked in the top 5 for the first time since the unbeaten 1940 team finished No. 2. Their success comes only four years after they went 1-11 and hired Harbaugh as coach to lead a turnaround.
Virginia Tech (11-3), playing in a bowl game for the 18th consecutive year, fell to 1-27 against top-5 teams.
Stanford threw a completion for a bizarre safety and blew two extra points, but overcame those mistakes with six plays gaining more than 30 yards. Two came in succession on a two-play, 97-yard "drive," and the Cardinal outscored Tech 27-0 in the second half.
Coby Fleener caught scoring passes of 41, 58 and 38 yards from Luck, all in the final 21 minutes. Zach Ertz had a 25-yard TD reception, Jeremy Stewart scored on a 60-yard run and Stepfan Taylor added a 56-yard run. Fullback-linebacker Owen Marecic scored on a 1-yard run and had a sack.
Luck went 18 for 23 and was chosen the Orange Bowl most valuable player. Fleener had six catches for 173 yards for the Cardinal, who outgained Tech 534-288.
The game might have been the last at Stanford for Luck and Harbaugh. Luck, a sophomore, is projected as the likely first pick in the NFL draft if he turns pro this year. Harbaugh is expected to be courted by NFL teams and perhaps alma mater Michigan after leading the Cardinal to a school-record win total.
Stanford began to pull away by going the length of the field in 29 seconds in the third quarter. After Delano Howell made an interception at the 3 to snuff a Tech threat, Taylor busted loose and reached Hokies territory. On the next play, Luck threw deep to Fleener for a 26-12 lead.
Luck also threw for a safety that cut Stanford's lead to 7-2. His pass was batted backward by Antoine Hopkins to 303-pound offensive tackle Derek Hall, who caught the ball rather than knocking it down and was tackled in the end zone.
The Hokies' offense had trouble scoring, though. Tyrod Taylor threw for 222 yards but was held to 22 yards rushing, and Tech twice came away empty after driving inside the Stanford 35.
Taylor's scrambling skills helped the Hokies score their only touchdown. On third and goal he rolled left, retreated, spun 180 degrees and threw to David Wilson for an 11-yard score.
Tyrod Taylor moved the Hokies 60 yards in the final 47 seconds of the first half to set up a 37-yard field goal by Chris Hasley, but they netted only 109 yards in the second half.

SEPARATE investigations are underway into the causes of two fires within 24 hours at famous Whitby fish and chip cafe The Magpie.
The cafe on Pier Road looks set to be closed for a lengthy period after the second blaze today badly damaged the roof of the building.
A North Yorkshire Fire Service spokesman said: "Fire crews were called to a fire incident at 22:15hrs on Sunday 30th April 2017 at numbers 14-15 Pier Road, Whitby.
"The fire was located in the roof space of the premises which is occupied by the Magpie fish and chip restaurant business.
"The incident was dealt with using eight fire engines from the surrounding area which included a high reach aerial ladder platform from Scarborough fire station and a crew from Middlesbrough. All fire engines left the scene at 04:39hrs and a revisit was carried out by an operational crew at 08:27hrs.
"Following this incident North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service Control Room received calls at 15:28hrs on Monday 1st May 2017 to a fire at the same property; Magpie fish and chip shop 14-15 Pier Road, Whitby. In total six fire engines attended the incident which included a high reach aerial ladder platform and three officers.
"Crews deployed breathing apparatus and fire fighting equipment to extinguish the fire. No people were injured as a result of the fire.
"Fire investigation officers are in attendance and have started a separate investigation into the cause of the second fire; the investigation will continue today and tomorrow. At this time, the cause of both fires is still to be determined.
The roof of the popular cafe on Pier Road has been almost completely destroyed in a blaze this (Mon May 1) afternoon.
Ceri Oakes, a freelance photographer from Whitby, said: "I was covering the fire on Sunday night and then today I was walking past on Pier Road and everyone was stood watching.
"There were flames billowing out of the roof. It was a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and the streets were full of people.
"The whole town was at a standstill with people just watching because nobody could believe what they were seeing, that it was on fire again.
"The roof was destroyed. A large part of the roof is completely gone. Everyone is absolutely gutted for the people that work there because it's the start of a busy season for them and it's going to have a big impact."
The Magpie Cafe had posted a message on its Facebook page before the second blaze this afternoon. The message read: "Business as usual at a very busy Magpie takeaway.
"Again, thank you for all your messages of help and support - we really appreciate it and hope you'll understand if we don't reply to you all individually!
"Within the next day or two we hope to be able to give you an update on when the restaurant will reopen.
"Thanks again from all the team at The Magpie Cafe.
"We can confirm, most importantly, everyone is okay and no one was hurt. Thank you to North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service and the emergency services for their assistance.
"We're down there now surveying the damage and will put out a statement when we know more. In the meantime, thank you all for your kind messages."
Messages of support for the restaurant, which is among Britain's top fish and chip eateries, flooded in on social media. following Sunday nights blaze.
Jayne Taylor said: "Shocked to see photo. Relieved no one injured. Hope you are soon up and running. We eat with you often when visiting Whitby, the food and service is always excellent. Best Wishes to all!"
While another diner, Sue Henshaw, said: "Our favourite place to eat when in Whitby once a year. I hope you can soon repair the damage. So glad that everyone is ok. We will be looking forward to our fish pie and prawn salad when you are up and running again."

How to Track New Opportunities in the Green Economy
A successful job-hunt is about finding opportunity. A successful eco-friendly job-hunt is about finding opportunity in the green economy. This means you must know how to track a moving target, as sustainable enterprise and other environmental sectors are still evolving. Companies look for demand before investing. You, too, can predict what will be in demand, and therefore invest in the right career search, by tracking these factors:
Goals and mandates. One of the most effective ways to change behavior is to create policies and regulations that encourage green actions and discourage actions that are inconsistent with the goals of the green economy. Over the years some local governments and states have put policies and regulations in place to move their regions in a green direction. The result has been a patchwork of policies that has made it difficult for the business community to fully embrace the stated goals and act. With the new Obama Administration, a more nationally focused set of policies and regulations are under discussion. Although details are not all nailed down, it is clear that the administration intends to encourage investments, innovations, and business development in the green economy. Only time will tell exactly what all the key policies will look like. For instance, keep an eye for a National Fuel Efficiency Policy and a National Renewable Energy Standard.
Incentives and disincentives. Implementing the right incentive program via laws can literally create a marketplace overnight. Right now, cap-and-trade systems and solar feed-in tariffs have a lot of potential.
Unfortunately, what goes up often comes down. When existing incentive programs expire after a designated period of time, industries may falter as their guaranteed customer base vanishes. The hope is that the corresponding industry has reached a level of stability so that the expiration doesn't cause the industry to contract.
Treaties and agreements. Although the United States is not legally bound by the Kyoto Protocol (originally signed by 192 countries in 1994), the agreement was officially put in place for the more than 140 other countries who had ratified it. As such, the Kyoto Protocol has continued to play a part in forming the green economy through the world. Domestically, more than 1,000 mayors have signed the U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, which enabled mayors to commit to the same Kyoto reductions in greenhouse gas emissions for their cities. Tracking developments such as these is crucial for understanding the direction of the green economy.
Research funding. With the green economy comes the need for new innovations and new knowledge. As you've no doubt noticed, a number of interlocking problems need exploration and out-of-the-box thinking. Unfortunately, research, thinking, and innovation require quite a bit of funding — that is, money. Most universities, think tanks, and research labs have been stretched in recent years by decreasing funding and tight budgets. Find out where the money is coming from (and therefore going to) — for example, money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act going to the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and the Department of the Interior.
Capital investments. Money makes the world go around. Start-up companies need money. Period. Without funds, companies promoting innovations that could change the world can fail quickly. Funds for the green economy come from three main sources: venture capitalists, large capitalized companies, and contracts, grants, and loans from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Innovations. Although climate change is unlikely to be reversed through innovation alone, technological advances are likely to play a significant role in determining how the green economy develops over time. As new technologies come on the scene, don't be surprised if they knock previous technological darlings off the map. It's entirely possible that innovations within emerging industries such as algae biofuels, cellulosic biofuels, the smart grid, and lithium ion batteries could change the future by opening up new avenues for even further development.
Scientific findings. Watching An Inconvenient Truth was the first time many people thought about global warming. By putting scientific findings in engaging contexts, Al Gore woke many up to the issues. Unfortunately, knowing about global warming isn't enough. We must continue to turn to scientific findings to assess the current impact on the planet and to forecast how higher temperatures, shifts in ecosystems, and higher sea levels will impact our lives.

This page is dedicated to Panagia Gorgoepikoos.
List of Gorgoepikoos churches
- (Athens, Greece)
- The church stands next to the modern Cathedral of Athens. It was constructed at the end of the 12th century, on the ruins of an ancient temple, dedicated to goddess Eileithyia. It was initially called "Little Metropolis", it was dedicated to Panaghia Gorgoepikoos and belonged to the episcopal mansion of Athens. In the 17th century it was referred to as both "Gorgoepikoos" and "Catholicon". In 1841 it housed the public library of Athens and in 1863 it was dedicated to Aghios Eleutherios. The walls of the church are entirely constructed of large, ancient Greek, Roman, early Byzantine marble blocks and relief plaques, without bricks. The reliefs, ninety in total, are mostly used on the upper section of the walls, resulting in a unique, for a Christian church, decoration. Free for all visitors, this church is a little gem that has caused, I reckon, the Cathedral next door to receive considerable criticism, some of which is probably undeserved.

The Doctors Reform Society (DRS) is an organisation of doctors and medical students promoting measures to improve health for all, in a socially just and equitable way. The Society was formed in 1973 to support a proposal for a publicly-funded universal health insurance system.? Medibank (now Medicare) was successfully created despite opposition from the Australian Medical Association.
All members' views are valued, and open debate on all health issues is encouraged both within and outside the organisation.? The DRS functions as a medico-political think tank, a lobby group and a public resource centre.
Membership of the Doctors' Reform Society is open to all medical practitioners and medical students who believe that everyone, regardless of their social or economic status, should have access to high quality healthcare.Click here to find out more about membership
The 2017 National DRS Conference was held in Melbourne in September. Tim Woodruff started the day with an expansion of his article about a Basic Income Guarantee as a health issue (see articles). Dr Harry Jennens founder of Healthy?Futures then told us about the climate and health case for divestment and his organisation's work in lobbying superannuation funds to divest.
Tony McBride, a previous chair of the Australian Health Care Reform Alliance, and currently a?director of the Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network (PHN) helped us to understand how the PHNs are evolving and their opportunities and challenges. Harry Lovelock, Senior Executive Manager from the Australian Psychological Society then gave us a very broad picture of the successes and failures of?mental health policy over recent years.Read more here
All Australians who have ever benefited from a Medicare rebate should today recognise that without Bob Hawke, they could well be struggling to afford simple basic medical treatment, said Dr Tim Woodruff, president, Doctors Reform Society.
He brought back our public health insurance scheme originally introduced by Gough Whitlam's Government and subsequently repealed by Malcolm Fraser's Government. Hawke then entrenched it in the Australian psyche such that those who dare to threaten Medicare dare to lose the Australian electorate.
His commitment to 'a fair go' for all Australians continues to stand as a beacon for those who believe we should have timely access to affordable health care for all and see such access not just a dream but as an achievable goal.
Thanks Bob.

The Opposition Leader has announced the biggest investment in Medicare for a generation, $2.3 billion to be spent eliminating the co-payments faced by those with cancer who see specialists, need diagnostic imaging, and radiotherapy. It is also guaranteeing all new drugs approved by the Pharmaceutical Advisory Committee (PBAC) will be listed for subsidy. The latter means prescription costs will be a maximum of about $6 or $40 a month for pensioners and health care card holders or non card holders respectively.
Cancer is scary. It is debilitating. It is life changing. It is often fatal. Furthermore, as Mr Shorten correctly pointed out "cancer makes you sick and all too often makes you poor". Labor is to be commended for addressing this challenging issue. Read more

Hudson Valley Loses at Golden Globes While HBO Documentary Paradise Lost 3 Wins Critical Acclaim
We bombed at the Golden Globes, but our HBO documentaries are going strong. Read the quick Globes recap and West Memphis 3 movie reviews
I know everybody's still buzzing about the Golden Globes, with its voluminous dresses, puppy cameo, and not-really-all-that-unleashed host. Unfortunately, our local nominees didn't make it to the winner's circle. Bedford's Rooney Mara, nominated for Best Actress for her role in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, lost to — of course — Meryl Streep. (Ed. note: We won't complain too much; Streep is a Vassar grad, after all.) And Mildred Pierce, which was filmed partially in Peekskill, gave up Best Miniseries to the buttoned-up Brits in Downton Abbey. Maybe if someone from our area had made a delightful silent film with big smiles, tap-dancing, and an adorable dog, we would've fared a little better. Oh well — it's onto the Oscars!
So, instead of covering the Golden Globes, I'm going to focus on its complete opposite: the Paradise Lost documentaries, by director (and Chappaque native/Northern Westchester resident) Joe Berlinger. The documentaries focus on three teenagers in West Memphis, Tennessee. (You know them as the West Memphis Three.) They were accused of murder and sentenced to death based on spotty or faulty evidence. Berlinger and his co-filmmaker, Bruce Sinofsky, documented their case, which led a groundswell of support (with a hefty defense fund). A second documentary focused on the appeals process.
This past summer, the West Memphis Three were all released from prison. They weren't pardoned, per se. Instead, their charges were vacated, and they entered "Alford guilty pleas," which means that they can maintain their innocence but still plead guilty if they thought it was in their best interest.
"Why does it take three well-funded HBO documentaries over 18 years and millions of dollars from a vast array of celebrities and regular people agitating to give these guys the kind of defense that they deserved back in '93? There's something wrong with the justice system," Berlinger was quoted saying in The Huffington Post.
- Of course, Berlinger and Sinofsky were there, with cameras rolling, through the whole process. The result became Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, which aired on HBO last week. Here's what critics are saying:
- "This is one of the most fascinating of all true crime stories." — Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times
- "Destined to rank as one of the major achievements in American documentary." — John Anderson, Variety
- "HBO Documentaries has made a vital contribution down through the years to the continuing development and success of the documentary film. This almost pales in comparison to its contribution to the recent freeing of three undoubtedly innocent men." — Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter
- "In an inescapable way, the third film ends up being about itself, about the series' function in and around the campaign to free the WM3, alongside the marches and websites and Henry Rollins benefit concerts." — Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
From the reviews alone, you can see Paradise Lost 3 is a fascinating story, an example of how the justice system still has flaws in this country, and an interesting example of a documentary. Check out this five-minute interview with Berlinger and Sinofsky about the movie:

Praxis tests are standardized tests that many states use in their teacher licensure and certification processes.
The Praxis I test is comprised of three separate tests. The Praxis I Reading Test assess your reading comprehension and ability to evaluate written passages. The Praxis I mathematics test measures your knowledge of basic mathematical concepts typical of an educated adult. The Praxis I writing test measures your written communication skills and use of grammar.
The Praxis I tests are multiple-choice tests with essays for the writing test. The Praxis I tests may be taken as a computer-based test (CBT) or as a paper-based test (PBT). With either format, you can choose to take each of the three tests separately (on separate days) or as a combined test.

America's love of soccer: real or a fad?
The United States won the World Cup this summer. To my eternal regret, this victory took place off the field, not on it. The 2014 World Cup television audiences have risen 45 percent over 2010 and 124 percent over 2006. The telecast of the United States' 2-2 tie against Portugal became the most viewed soccer match in the United States ever, averaging 18.22 million viewers and trumping even the sports-bra-busting dramatics of the 1999 Women's World Cup final.
The scenes on the ground have been just as dramatic. Intercut into every U.S. game broadcast has been staggering live scenes from Chicago, Kansas City, Dallas and San Diego, as public spaces have palpitated with football-loving Americans and the entire nation has resembled the Portland Timbers' stadium on gameday.
For longtime football fans, the micro-scenes have been just as heartwarming. At Men In Blazers, we have been sent such dizzying images of Texan gun fairs and Chattanooga hardware stores being infiltrated by football.
The world has noticed. "What we see in the United States is staggering," FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke recently said.
Yet tides roll in and tides roll out. Has the United States truly fallen in love with football or just the World Cup in a friendlier time slot? Is the unprecedented exuberance we have witnessed around our game long-lasting or, like that for pogo sticks and hula hoops, is it a mere fad?
To gain a sense of perspective, I turned to Rich Luker, the founder of the ESPN Sports Poll Annual Report managed by Luker on Trends, which monitors the nation's interest in 31 different sports.
Luker sent me two heat maps of the United States. One etched with Americans who self-identified as "pro-soccer fans" in the wake of the 1994 World Cup, which was giddily hosted on home turf. The second tracked that growth around the 2010 tournament (by which time pro soccer also included MLS).
"If you look at the period after 1994, you would expect to see accelerated growth, but in truth, the tournament did not do a lot to spark the sport's popularity in the United States," Luker said. "The growth numbers are just not there in the same way as they would have been for NASCAR, poker or mixed martial arts, which blew up with their television contracts. The 1994 World Cup was big all over the country at the time, but soccer did not register in 1995."
Two decades later and the heat maps tell a different story. "Huge shifts are in evidence here regionally," Luker explained. "In 1995, the audience was largely blue collar and in the Northeast but it has shifted south and west, become much higher income, and when you drill down and look at the demographics, you learn the avid fan base between ages 18-24 and 25-34 have grown two and a half times."
In Luker's mind, The drivers of this growth are multifaceted. "This is the first full generation to come of age with MLS being in existence," he said. "The best soccer from around the world is now widely available and easily accessibly on television, which has increased the profile of the [elite leagues'] star players."
That growth has been noted. We live in a land in which advertisers are salivating at the sport's ability to deliver the young, male demographic they covet and where ratings for the English Premier League have soared, building a passionate, educated, football-savvy American audience at the core of the World Cup boom. Vancouver-based games developer EA Sports continues to act as an invisible hand in the sport's momentum as its FIFA franchise has surged since 2010, becoming the third-biggest sports game in North America, subtly sensitizing a generation of young Americans to both tactics and personalities. Premier League clubs -- five of which are controlled by Americans -- have responded in kind, targeting the United States as a top-two or -three growth area for their brand-building strategies.
When the United States was awarded the 1994 World Cup on July 4, 1988, U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp, a former pro quarterback, took to the floor of Congress to defend America's honor: "I think it is important for all those young men out there who someday hope to play real football where you throw it and kick it and run with it and put it in your hands, that distinction be made that football is democratic capitalism whereas soccer is a European socialist sport."
After the summer we are experiencing, and the avid fan base that has been gradually established, even the late Kemp would agree, soccer -- so long this nation's sport of the future -- has finally become a major American ball sport.

Send This Napoleon Back, Waiter: Appeals Court Flunks NYC Soda Ban
Welcome news from New York: a unanimous four-judge appeals court has confirmed a trial court order striking down the New York Department of Health's attempt to ban large soda portions. The decision is here, Newsday coverage here, and our earlier coverage here.
The appeals court ruled that in enacting the ban the NYC department of health had overstepped its legally granted powers. As I observed in this Commentary article in March, New York has its own distinctive body of law by which courts step in to prevent administrative agencies from claiming quasi-legislative powers not clearly delegated to them, the rules laid out in a 1987 case called Boreali v. Axelrod. The appeals court agreed with trial court judge Milton Tingling that Boreali was directly controlling, and that the department had clearly overstepped Boreali's ban on essentially legislative action by an administrative agency. (Why, you ask, don't federal courts apply as tough a standard to keep administrative agencies in Washington, D.C. from arrogating to themselves essentially legislative functions? Good question...)
Although the appeals court did not reach the issue of whether the Bloomberg rules were "arbitrary and capricious," and although neither it nor Judge Tingling reached the underlying issues of individual consumer choice that are at stake, this was far more than just a "win on a technicality." The rule that government agencies cannot overstep their lawfully granted powers is a vital one in protecting the liberty of the citizen. On this issue, and not this alone, Mayor Michael Bloomberg has acted more as a Napoleon issuing peremptory dictates than as an elected executive carrying out the will of legislators on the City Council and in Albany.
Napoleons of the political class are a good bit more dangerous to us all than the sugar-laden Napoleons of the bakery shelf. We should rejoice that this one is getting sent back to the kitchen.

The Basics
- Score: #16 Saint Louis 62, #25 VCU 56
- Records: VCU (26-8), Saint Louis (27-6)
- Location: The Barclays Center - Brooklyn, N.Y.
- The Short Story: Sophomore Treveon Graham and junior Juvonte Reddic combined for 35 points and 20 rebounds, but it wasn't enough as VCU fell in the Atlantic 10 Championship game, 62-56, to 16th-ranked Saint Louis. The Black & Gold forced 18 turnovers en route to eight steals, but Kwamain Mitchell (19 pts) and Dwayne Evans (16 pts, eight rebounds) proved to be just a little too much. VCU will now head to its third consecutive NCAA Tournament as an at-large.
How it Happened
- Saint Louis ran out to a 11-2 lead on the back of Mitchell, but a jumper by Treveon Graham capped off a 10-1 VCU run that evened the score at 12-12 with 9:42 left in the first half.
- The teams would trade buckets over the next couple minutes, but 12 first-half points by Mitchell helped send the Billikens into the halftime break with a 29-21 lead.
- Saint Louis stretched its lead to as many as 13 with 11:45 remaining, but a 3-pointer by Treveon Graham kick started the Rams, who got within one after Reddic picked up a steal and a fastbreak dunk with 8:52 remaining.
- The Billikens would answer, but VCU would get within three a couple times before Cody Ellis and Mitchell hit 3-pointers, which allowed Saint Louis to hold on for the 62-56 victory.
Beyond the Box Score
- VCU was making its fifth conference championship appearance in the past seven years.
- Eight steals by the Rams on the day pushed their season total to 402, marking the first time in school history that the Black & Gold reached 400-plus.
- Reddic earned All-Tournament team honors after averaging 13.3 points and 9.3 rebounds in VCU's three games.
Head Coach Shaka Smart
- "Congratulations to Saint Louis. I thought they played great. They were the best team in the league in the regular season, and they were the best team in the league in the tournament. And I thought our guys fought hard, battled, almost overcame a terrible shooting day but didn't quite overcome it."
- "We had our style going for parts of the game. We just didn't have it going for enough of the game. To be honest with you, we missed some shots that ‑‑ had pretty good looks that we normally would knock down. We shot a lower percentage. I think Saint Louis certainly deserves some credit for that. I think all year they've been the best half court defensive team in the league, not just against us but against a lot of people."
- "But you know what, with the way the game went and the way that we defended them, particularly from the field, they got a lot of free throws, but particularly from the field and turning them over, I'll take the shots that we got, and I think on most nights we'd give ourselves a really good chance to win with those shots."
Senior Darius Theus
- " We did battle through all season, so already had that bid and stuff for us to be in the tournament. But we really wanted this one bad. But still, that's a positive out of the situation."
