Richard F. Enos of Edgartown died peacefully at his home on July 15 following a lengthy illness. He was 86.
Richard was born February 7, 1927 in the home he was raised in on Upper Main street in Edgartown to John F. and Nora J. Enos. He graduated from Edgartown High School in 1945 in "the top 10 of his class," as he liked to say. He would then laugh and say that only 10 people were in his graduating class.
He excelled in sports, basketball and baseball, winning Island and league championships. Drafted into the Army in 1945, Richard was stationed primarily in Bremen, Germany. He was a founder and member of the Edgartown Golf Club, boasting three holes-in-one and an uncanny number of member/guest championships, as well as the Cornelius Lee. He was a lifelong Yankees fan (much to the chagrin of the loyal Island Red Sox fans), an avid fisherman and never refused a challenging game of cribbage.
For more than 30 years he was Edgartown's all-knowing postal clerk, having memorized everyone's name and box number. Going to the post office during his time of service was a fun social event. In his later years one could always find him parked at Al's store, visiting and enjoying the people passing by.
Richard was preceded in death by both parents, his wife Neuge (Wallin), granddaughter Georgia Gates and his five siblings. He is survived by his daughter, Julie Ann Rowell and family of Florida, and his stepchildren, Melanie Vavrek, husband Jerry and sons Adam and Zachary, Stephanie Wilson and daughter Kimberley Gates, and George Harris Jr., wife Pat, son Bryan and their grandchildren, all of Texas. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, including William and Cindy Enos, Jeff and Alison Enos, Robert and Donna Enos and Cindy and Andre Bonnell and their families.
A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, July 30 in the New Westside Cemetery in Edgartown at 10 a.m. officiated by the Rev. Roger Spinney with military honors provided by the Veterans of Martha's Vineyard.
Donations may be made in his memory to the Vineyard Nursing Association: P.O. Box 399; Hope Hospice: P.O. Box 4188 both in Vineyard Haven, MA 02568; or the Boys' and Girls' Club: P.O. Box 654, Edgartown, MA 02539.
Arrangements are under the care of the Chapman, Cole and Gleason Funeral Home in Oak Bluffs. An online guest book is available at ccgfuneralhome.com.

The Curran family name is also famous because of the relationship between Curran's youngest daughter Sarah (1782-1808) and United Irishmen commander Robert Emmett (1778-1803). Unbeknownst to Curran, Sarah was secretly engaged to Robert. The relationship was uncovered when her letters to Emmett were discovered after he was imprisoned. Although he had defended other members of the United Irishmen, Curran refused to defend Emmett, who was ultimately sentenced to death on the gallows. Curran betrayed his own daughter by giving her correspondence with Emmett to the authorities. Ultimately he disowned Sarah, forcing her to flee to friends in London. The romantic tragedy of the doomed relationship of Sarah and Robert is played out in poetry and song. Upon her death Sarah was interred in a family plot in Newmarket, County Cork.
Curran was born in Newmarket County Cork Ireland on 24 July 1750. He died in Brompton, a suburb of London England, 14 October 1817. When he died in London he was initially buried in Paddington; however, seventeen years later in 1834 he was disinterred and his remains were transferred to Dublin for reinterment in Glasnevin. The Prospect Cemetery at Glasnevin had only been opened since 1832, two years prior to his reinterment.
Although John Philpot Curran shared a family of eight children with his wife, ultimately she deserted him and he died alone in England.
|Curran's tomb dominates those around him.
|Obit 1817 means year of death 1817; 'AET 67' from the Latin 'Aetatis' translates to 'age interred 67.'

Capitol Records has acquired the exclusive DVD/Blu-ray rights to History of the Eagles, the iconic band's acclaimed documentary, which is set for release on Tuesday, April 30. This exceptional three-disc set includes History of the Eagles Part One and History of the Eagles Part Two, as well as Eagles Live At The Capital Centre – March 1977, featuring never-before-released performances from the Eagles' two-night stand at Washington, D.C.'s Capital Center during the legendary Hotel California tour.
History of the Eagles will be released in both DVD and Blu-ray three-disc configurations – all with 5.1 Surround Sound and Stereo audio – beautifully packaged in a six-panel digipak with accompanying photographic booklet. A Super Deluxe Box Set will be released as a limited edition, complete with three Blu-ray discs; a 40-page casebound book featuring still photos from the films; 10 archival-quality photographs of the band from throughout its storied history; and a specially created lithograph of the band's desert-bleached skull icon. All elements in this limited edition deluxe set will be packaged in a specially designed foil-stamped and embossed box, with a Native American blanket-inspired liner, beautifully wrapped in a leather tie, and fastened with a bone button.
All three versions of History of the Eagles will be available for preorder beginning today, March 12 through Amazon.com and the Eagles website (http://eaglesband.com).
Seeking to provide an unprecedented and intimate look into the history of the band and the legacy of its music, the Eagles partnered with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) to produce the film. Directed by Alison Ellwood (Magic Trip: Ken Kesey's Search for a Kool Place), History of the Eagles is a meticulous creation featuring rare archival material, concert footage, and never-before-seen home movies that explore the evolution and enduring popularity of one of the world's biggest-selling and culturally significant American bands.
History of the Eagles made its television broadcast debut on Showtime last month, earning the network its highest ratings for a music documentary in eight years. Part One premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January to great acclaim.
History of the Eagles Part One dedicates two hours to the chronicling of the band's creation and rise to fame in the 1970's through its breakup in 1980. More than 25 new and exclusive interviews were conducted with all current band members — Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit – as well as former members Bernie Leadon, Randy Meisner and Don Felder. Also featured are new and exclusive interviews with Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Kenny Rogers, Irving Azoff and many other seminal artists and band contemporaries who have been closely involved with the Eagles' history.
While personal stories from band members, managers, and music industry luminaries frame the narrative, it's the unexpected moments—recording sessions, backstage interactions, and even a whimsical sequence from the Desperado cover shoot—that convey the extraordinary bond linking the artists, their music, and the times (an era when country-tinged rock and finely-honed harmonies spoke to a nation still reeling from unrest).
Additionally, the documentary features previously unreleased home movies and archival footage. Personal photos, video and memorabilia amassed by the Eagles over the course of their career will also be seen for the very first time.
History of the Eagles Part Two reveals the personal and professional struggles members faced while the band was apart, and chronicles the group's dramatic reunion in 1994, as well as its resurgence in recording and performing throughout the next two decades. Among the band's many achievements since reforming are its triumphant Hell Freezes Over tour, the 2007 release of Long Road Out of Eden (which sold more than 5.5 million copies worldwide and earned two GRAMMY® Awards), and its ongoing ascendance as an international supergroup.
Eagles Live at the Capital Centre – March 1977 features previously unreleased concert performances of "Hotel California," "New Kid In Town," "Take It To The Limit," "One Of These Nights," "Lyin' Eyes," "Rocky Mountain Way," "Best Of My Love" and "Take It Easy," all captured during the band's two-night stand in Washington, D.C. during its historic Hotel California world tour.
Directed by Alison Ellwood and produced by Alex Gibney, History of the Eagles was created with a select crew of filmmakers including: Blair Foster, Executive Producer; Alison Ellwood and Ben Sozanski, Editors; Karim Karmi, Co-Producer; and Erin Edeiken, Line Producer.
The Eagles have sold more than 120 million albums worldwide, earned five No. 1 U.S. singles and six GRAMMY® Awards. Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 is the best-selling album of all time, exceeding sales of 29 million units. The band's Hotel California and Eagles Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 have sold more than 16 million and 11 million albums, respectively. The Eagles were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

Getting my swagger on…
With my background in event planning, I have attended many a conference in my day. The rows and rows of exhibitors handing out pens, notepads, magnets, stress balls and letter openers. But at Blogher 2010… no way! These exhibitors know how to conference! Offering full size bottles of products, toys, celebrities, it was unbelievable.
My friend Hilary (@mrsmonj) wasn't able to attend Blogher because she just had baby #2 and sold her ticket to me. I was thrilled because I wanted to attend so badly, but the conference was sold out. It was my mission to score some cool finds for her and the fam. Playtex provided me with two baby bottles for her newborn, I got a cute stuffed animal from the Quickie booth for her little girl and a fellow Blogher attendee Jen (@jenrab) gave me a onesie and formula for me to bring back for Hilary. Score!
I had always wanted to try out a Soyjoy bar and to my surprise they were there. So I took a banana and a blueberry bar. I love the banana! Gonna have to stock up on them. They make for a great snack post workout. Butterfinger was also there showing off their bite size Butterfinger Snackerz which were delish! GoodSkin Labs provided a wrinkle treatment for fine lines. Bausch & Lomb handed out Biotrue a contact lens solution and Hasbro provided the Trivial Pursuit Steal card game. Perfect for travelling, it's so compact.
I landed a sample of Wrigley's Extra Dessert Delights in Mint Chocolate Chip which tastes just like the ice cream. It is out of this world! I was a bit disappointed though. There was a note on the gum to all Blogher attendees to visit a website, enter a code and receive another free sample. I went on the site to obtain another sample, and the site said the program closed. There was no disclaimer on the note, though. Oh well!
Loved the Eucerin booth! Received the Daily Skin Balance and Everyday Protection lotion in full size bottles, plus some hand lotion. I've been using the Daily Skin Balance every day since I received it and love the fresh scent. The scent stays on your body all day long which I love. Couldn't be happier with this swag!
Aquaphor gave out a lip repair as well, which I'm loving and using nightly and throughout the day if my lips need a little pick me up. Super hydrating!
The Yellow Umbrella teamed up with makeup artist Debra Macki for the conference and I won their raffle. Whoo Hoo! I won a Debra Macki mineral eye shadow palette in Monaco which is beautiful. The Hautelook company was handing out full size Lorac 3D lip glosses and I scored one in Vivid. In the bottle it looks hot pink but on, it has a gold sheen. Super cute!
Playdoh gave away an adorable travel case with tons of playdoh and gadgets to build something fun. My nephews were thrilled I went to the conference for this little treat.
Scored some Cherry Vanilla flavored Nyquil which sounds delish, but I'll wait till the winter when it's cold season to test it out. Vicks also supplied me with a full size container of vapor rub. Again, I will wait till cold season hits me and will be all over my Vicks vapor rub.
The P&G booth was my favorite booth hands done. They had an entire house set up with different products in each room with someone explaining them. It was so cute. I scored a Venus Embrace razor (which I love and use at home), Oil of Olay Total Effects Bodywash & their Regenerist Anti-Aging Eye Roller, Secret Clinical Strength deodorant that's waterproof (perfect for the pool), PUR water filter and Febreeze Set & Refresh Air Freshener in Spring & Renewal (no plugs or batteries needed) which smells divine. Loving it!
I came home with bags and bags of swag and couldn't wait to rummage through it all. The hubs said "I wonder how many pens you gotâ€. After all that, one. I got one pen. Now that's some swag.

Federal government workers just can't catch a break.
It's looking pretty likely that the two-year pay freeze -- that was expiring at the end of this month -- is going to be extended again through Dec. 31.
Workers had been hoping to see a small bump in their pay by 0.5% next month, as ordered by President Obama last August.
But the Senate this week started debating a bipartisan deal that would fund government through the end of September. The deal would keep in place a freeze on federal workers' cost-of-living increases by another 9 months.
Maryland Democrat Sen. Barbara Mikulski, who helped put together the deal, called the pay freeze "necessary" to stop a government shutdown come March 27, when current funding runs out.
"Shutting down the government would make a tough situation even worse for federal employees," Mikulski said on the Senate floor on Wednesday.
Federal workers have been under siege recently. Washington's forced budget cuts that kicked in on March 1 are forcing hundreds of thousands of workers to take a 20% pay cut for five months.
Related: Paul Ryan wants to cut more federal workers
Many federal agencies have instituted a hiring freeze. And the Pentagon has been laying off some 46,000 contract workers. All off this will cut $85 billion from the federal budget by September.
These come on top of 33,000 worker jobs that the agencies have already lost through attrition and layoffs since January 2012.
Workers and unions quietly acknowledge that an extended pay freeze may not be as bad as what Republicans want: a two-year hiring freeze and slashed benefits. But they feel unfairly targeted by Congress.
"This pay freeze extension is absolutely unacceptable," said William R. Dougan, president of the National Federation of Federal Employees. "We need to end the reckless habit of singling out federal workers every time Congress finds itself in a self-imposed fiscal pinch."
Related: 5 federal workers: What job cuts mean to me
Unions point out that the pay freeze saves $3 billion a year in a $3.5 trillion federal budget.
But all's not lost. There's hope still from President Obama, who is expected to propose a 1% pay hike for civilian federal workers in his budget proposal for the 2014 fiscal year, which starts Oct. 1. He hasn't officially unveiled his budget recommendations yet.
Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly reported the annual savings from the pay freeze.

The reboot of Tomb Raider was a big dice roll. It takes Lara Croft—one of the most recognizable characters in all of video games—and puts her back to the beginning, with a new look in a game that's markedly different in tone. But the gamble works.
Tears Of The Kingdom's Newspaper Questline And The State Of Hyrulean Journalism
In the video above, video editor Chris Person and I discuss what makes the game succeed. The talk is no more spoiler-filled than my review, but you may want to stay away from watching if you want to go in totally clean when it comes out next week.

During the last decade, a series of studies in The New England Journal of Medicine chronicled the potential benefits of rescuing patients from stroke, heart attack and other conditions by lowering body temperature to reduce demand for oxygen. Depressed body temperature may also have manifold effects beyond the ones described—anything from prolonging life span to inducing a lower metabolic state suitable for long-distance spaceflight.
A hurdle to lowering body temperature to protect brain cells after stroke is the body's own cold-defense mechanisms. Unless a patient is anesthetized, blood vessels in the skin constrict, shivering begins, brown fat generates heat and a patient experiences the natural urge to seek a warmer environment. All of these "thermo-effector responses" are there to keep things steady at 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit).
An experimental drug demonstrated by researchers at the Fever Lab in Saint Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix and their collaborators points to a way around the thermo-effector blockade. The agent blocked a receptor on nerve cells in mice and rats called TRPM8 that is normally activated by skin cooling to set in motion the body's cold-defense armamentarium. The drug, a compound called M8-B, stopped even moderately chilled animals from mounting a cold response, thereby lowering core body temperature. "The body stops defending its temperature," says Andrej Romanovsky, who heads the Fever Lab.
Particularly in Europe, physicians already do something similar in clinical practice by using an intravenous cooling solution along with moderate skin reheating to prevent shivering. This complex and imprecise procedure—balancing the exact amounts of heat and cold needed is challenging—makes implementation difficult outside the setting of a major hospital. By contrast, a drug like M8-B might be administered at a military field hospital or by emergency medical technicians, along with a set of cold packs, to achieve the same outcome.
Others took notice of the work, reported in the February 8 edition of The Journal of Neuroscience. "The TRP family of thermal receptors are the major sensors for skin temperature," says Daniel Sessler, an anesthesiologist at the Cleveland Clinic and an expert on thermoregulation. "Blocking these receptors should blunt thermoregulatory defenses to induction of therapeutic hypothermia, and this work supports this theory. A drug like M8-B that blocks those receptors may well prove clinically useful."
Romanovsky was able to procure M8-B from Amgen, one of a slew of drug companies that have been interested in these receptors that stud sensory nerve cells, and that exhibit contrasting properties. TRP receptors that trigger the burning sensation of a chili pepper are being considered as a new kind of analgesic. Romanovsky has even speculated with his lab-mates about the use of a temperature-reducing TRP drug during extended spaceflight to diminish an astronaut's nutrient intake. "If you can decrease bodily metabolism by 10 percent, you can extend the length of spaceflight," Romanovsky says. The ability to selectively control the body's cold defenses through tweaking cell receptors may eventually lead to an entirely new class of pharmaceutical—what Romanovsky and colleagues dub "thermopharmacology."

The extraordinary tale of a refugee youth soccer team and the transformation of a small American town Clarkston, Georgia, was a typical Southern town until it was designated a refugee settlement center in the 1990s, becoming the first American home for scores of families in flight from the world's war zones--from Liberia and Sudan to Iraq and Afghanistan. Suddenly Clarkston's streets were filled with women wearing the hijab, the smells of cumin and curry, and kids of all colors playing soccer in any open space they could find. The town also became home to Luma Mufleh, an American-educated Jordanian woman who founded a youth soccer team to unify Clarkston's refugee children and keep them off the streets. These kids named themselves the Fugees. Set against the backdrop of an American town that without its consent had become a vast social experiment, Outcasts United follows a pivotal season in the life of the Fugees and their charismatic coach. Warren St. John documents the lives of a diverse group of young people as they miraculously coalesce into a band of brothers, while also drawing a fascinating portrait of a fading American town struggling to accommodate its new arrivals. At the center of the story is fiery Coach Luma, who relentlessly drives her players to success on the soccer field while holding together their lives--and the lives of their families--in the face of a series of daunting challenges. This fast-paced chronicle of a single season is a complex and inspiring tale of a small town becoming a global community--and an account of the ingenious and complicated ways we create a home in a changing world.

Expert's Rating
- Easily find true network speed; You can print results
- Doesn't save results to disk
Our Verdict
Test the speed of your LAN with this free program.
Note: This file addresses v1.1.5 of the software.
How fast is your network connection? No, I don't mean how fast you think it is, or how fast your network provider says it is–I mean how fast is it in real-world conditions? LAN Speed Test is an excellent, free way to find out.
Using LAN Speed Test couldn't be simpler. Load the program, click Start Test, and it will ask where you want to store a temporary file it uses to test network speed. Don't worry about clogging your PC; it deletes the file after it performs the test. Once you've done that, click again, and after a few seconds, it shows results for both writing to your disk (essentially the equivalent of download speed), and reading from your disk (essentially the equivalent of upload speed). That's all it takes. Once you've got the results, you can print them.
Don't run LAN Speed Test test a single time and expect to get highly accurate results. From one moment to the next, there may be network traffic condition, and changing circumstances. I found that on several occasions there would be "outlier" results, results that were very different from the vast majority of other results. Run the test multiple times for a realistic picture of your connection speed.
It's also a good idea to run the tests at different times of the day, again to get the truest picture of network speed. If you're a network administrator, that will help you see when network congestion is highest. You may also want to run the tests on different PCs, to see whether certain computers or parts of your network have network issues.
LAN Speed Test would be more useful if it could save results to disk, or even average the results for you. But given that this program is free for business use as well as for personal use, that's a minor quibble. Whether you're a network administrator, or just an ordinary user who would like to know your true network speed, you'll find this a useful tool.

(CNN) — Never mind that visit to the Statue of Liberty in New York City. Forget visiting Independence Hall in Philadelphia. And that hiking adventure at Yellowstone National Park? It might not happen.
If Congress doesn't pass a spending bill by midnight tonight, many travelers will quickly start feeling the impact of the impasse.
While essential air security and traffic control operations won't be impeded in the event of a government shutdown, travelers visiting the country's national parks and other tourist attractions will find the gates shuttered and the doors locked.
All 401 National Park Service sites, which collectively average about 715,000 visitors per day in October, will be closed, according to a park service spokeswoman. (Guests staying in campgrounds and on-site hotels will be given 48 hours to leave.) The Smithsonian's 19 museums and galleries and the National Zoo will also turn visitors away.
Is it safe to fly?
Your airport security personnel are considered essential, so please continue to follow Transportation Security Administration rules about liquids, shoes and other restrictions when heading to the airport.
Air traffic controllers, some safety inspectors and other essential employees will "will continue working in order to maintain the safety of the national airspace system" in the event of a shutdown, said the Federal Aviation Administration, in an e-mailed statement. "Safety is our top priority."
Other FAA projects, including facility security inspections, routine personnel security background investigations and development of the next generation of air traffic control technology, will be placed on hold.
What if you're waiting on a passport?
If you're waiting on a passport, how long that wait will last depends on where the passport agency is located. Passport services, because they are funded by other revenue, are generally "unaffected by a government shutdown," according to a U.S. Department of State spokesperson.
There's just one possible catch: If the passport office is located within a government building that has been shut down, passport approvals may be affected. Bottom line: Check with your passport office Monday before close of business.
If you need a visa
Because consular services at U.S. embassies and consulates around the world are largely funded by application fees, not annual appropriations, visa applications filed by foreigners wanting to enter the United States will continue to be processed, according to the state department spokesperson.
Overseas impact
Even those visitors trying to pay their respects at American military cemeteries overseas will feel the impact. The Normandy American Cemetery and 23 other overseas cemeteries operated by the American Battle Monuments Commission will be closed to the public for the duration of the shutdown, according to the commission's contingency plans.
"The Normandy American Cemetery presents a special case, as visitors have access to the cemetery via the unfenced approaches from the beach, according to the plan. "Visitors will be asked to leave, but confrontation will be avoided."
CNN's Laura Koran contributed to this story.

UAB Alumna Tests the Limits of Distracted Driving
By Matt Windsor
If you are reading this story behind the wheel, do the rest of us a favor and put down the smartphone.
Translational Research for Injury Prevention Laboratory, or TRIP Lab. When the information superhighway meets the real thing, wrecks are bound to occur.While texting, mobile browsing, and push e-mail have been a boon for chatty teens and globetrotting executives, they are just about the worst thing that has ever happened to the American roadway, says Despina Stavrinos, Ph.D., an expert on distracted driving and director of UAB's
Story continues below the video
Can a UAB Magazine editor—and serious multitasker—pass the distracted-driving challenge? Find out in this video.
"Over half a million drivers are injured each year due to distracted driving, and more than 6,000 people die from collisions caused by cell phone-related distractions," says Stavrinos.
You don't need a cell phone to practice distracted driving. Old standbys like tuning the radio or applying makeup will also take your eyes off the road. In fact, distraction is probably as old as assisted locomotion. Humans are naturally attracted by novel stimuli and bored with repetition, so we all have a tendency to take our minds off what we are doing when we're moving around—whether it's by horse-drawn buggy or SUV.
But you have much more room for error behind the reins of a horse than behind the wheel of a Hummer pushing 80 on an urban interstate. The range of distractions open to drivers these days is wider than ever, too—with cell phones leading the way. "Texting is particularly dangerous because it involves all three categories of distraction: You have to take your hands off the wheel, your eyes off the road, and your mind off the road as well," Stavrinos says.
Changing Minds
Of course, it doesn't take a Ph.D. to realize that texting is not a smart thing to do behind the wheel. But if you're anything like the average American with a smartphone, you haven't let that stop you. And, considering you've gotten away with it so far, you probably think you're pretty good at handling distractions.
Wrong. "Everyone thinks they're an excellent multitasker behind the wheel," says Stavrinos. "But what we find across all studies is that everyone is impacted by distraction, regardless of age and experience."
So far, Stavrinos has administered distracted driving surveys to more than 300 teens and adults—and then put their confidence to the test in an elaborate simulator in UAB's Edward R. Roybal Center for Research on Applied Gerontology. The simulator features three monitors displaying a wide-angle view of a three-dimensional roadway, along with an arcade-style steering wheel, accelerator, and brake pedal that are all tuned to respond just like an actual car. (That means it actually takes several seconds to accelerate from a stationary position, so teens used to videogames often report that the simulator is "slow.")
The setup includes air conditioning (the researchers discovered that the simulation was so realistic that participants would become car sick—moving air helped with that) and an actual driver's seat from a 1980s-vintage Honda (a donation from the center's old simulator).
(Virtual) Blood on the (Digital) Highway
After a few minutes of normal cruising to give participants a chance to adjust to the simulated roadway, the researchers start throwing in real-life challenges: A bicyclist veers away from the side of the road and directly in front of the oncoming car, children run out from the sidewalk, a taxi zips across several lanes from a hidden spot on the shoulder. Then the meat of the test begins as Stavrinos asks participants to place their cell phones on the car's dash. For the next section of road, they must avoid obstacles while having a conversation with a researcher, placed outside the room to minimize any additional distraction. Then they must do the same while texting back and forth with the same researcher.
Meanwhile, a pair of cameras mounted just behind the steering wheel tracks the participant's eyes as they dart around looking for obstacles—or fail to, as is the case when distractions mount. A nearby computer tallies the hits, near-misses, swerves, and other unsafe driving behavior, offering a second-by-second breakdown of the moving violations.
Drivers don't usually need to see that data to know they didn't do well. "Throughout the simulation, we hear a lot of 'Oh my gosh, this is awful!'" Stavrinos says. Most participants emerge from the room chastened, she notes. "People are shocked by how poorly they perform. It turns out that simulation is a good teaching tool as well as a research tool."
Big Rig Surprise
Virtual driving can produce real-world change. In one recent study, Stavrinos and her colleague and co-principal investigator Karen Heaton, Ph.D., from the UAB School of Nursing, studied commercial truck drivers using a specially designed truck-driving simulator owned by a local firm.
"We tested their performance without distractions and while talking on cell phones, texting, and operating an on-board communication/e-mailing device" that allows drivers to communicate with their dispatchers, Stavrinos says. To the drivers' surprise, the e-mailing device was the most distracting item in the cab. "In some ways, it was worse than texting," Stavrinos notes. "When the drivers told their companies about the results, they changed the protocol so drivers could not operate the devices while their trucks were in motion."
TRIP Lab researchers are now exploring new ways to take their research on the road. Stavrinos, along with Lesley Ross, Ph.D., of the Department of Psychology, is beginning a study that will install special two-way cameras in the cars of teens and older drivers to monitor their behavior on actual roadways. Similar studies elsewhere have shown that this on-road feedback can be a powerful motivator of behavior change.
Alabama's recent decision to ban texting and driving is very encouraging, Stavrinos says. Even though several groups have questioned the best ways to enforce the new law, she believes that driver behavior will begin to change over time. "We can use models like drunk driving laws and seatbelt laws," Stavrinos says. "At one time, drivers would never buckle up when they got behind the wheel; now it just feels wrong not to. We're hoping to get there with distracted driving as well."

Jefferson Parish Linear Park
Jefferson Parish is the largest Parish in Louisiana with a little more than 400,000 people. The Parish covers roughly 640 square miles and is bordered by Lake Pontchartrain to the north. Along the shores of Lake Pontchartrain is one of the most beautiful bicycle and pedestrian paths in the area. The Jefferson Linear Park extends approximately 10 miles from Kenner to Metairie.
In 1995 and 1997, Jefferson Parish received two Transportation Enhancements funding awards for a cumulative of $1,228,877 and $64,678 in additional local funds. This money went towards the design, engineering, and construction of the path. This path in particular is unique because it runs on top of the Lake Pontchartrain Lakefront Levee. Connecting several communities with the beauty of the Lake, this path is truly mesmerizing!

We're in the midst of an information design information overload. Blogs, books, courses, and workshops proliferate, covering every hot topic under the sun: big data, data visualization, infographics, "vintage" information design, software, etc. And while there are a few helpful guides along the way to navigate through this space, digging through the layers of content and finding not just the gems of knowledge but the very foundation of information design can be daunting. My goal in this post is to address the gap between what information design looks like today and what it really is by surfacing some of the most important (and interrelated) aspects of information design that are either implicit in a variety of resources or missing entirely.
What information design is really about:
1. Problem solving, not just visualization
Information design is commonly associated with end results: infographics, diagrams, data displays, and other kinds of outputs. This association with finished products can give the false impression that information design is only about visualizing facts and data, while overlooking the cognitive activities that information design is intended to enhance. Effective information design supports problem solving by giving structure to thought along the entire problem solving process, whether it's in figuring out what problem to solve, organizing facts and data, finding patterns and synthesizing insights, or generating solutions aligned to a particular goal. And the form that information design takes at each step in the process need not be a perfectly polished digital visualization — hand-drawn sketches, color-coding systems, spatial organization schemes, and other sense-making methods all work to enable understanding.
2. People and purpose, not just tools and technology
Many blogs and books focus on the how of information design, like what software to use or how to construct different kinds of charts. Craft and technique are valuable to know and gain proficiency in, but what's not often discussed in great depth is understanding who we're designing for and why they need our help. Information design at its core is about helping people achieve their goals within a given context, whether they're customers, patients, or citizens. How information designers achieve that goal may vary, as the toolkit continuously grows and evolves. What is fundamental and unchanging in all information design work is being highly attuned to people's needs and defining their challenges in a way that guides the path to a meaningful solution.
3. Guidance and instruction, not just visual presentation
Related to points 1 and 2 above, many works of information design tend to be dense with tightly formatted content, which a viewer is left to deconstruct and decipher. Rather than make life easier, these "rich" visualizations require more time and effort to extract meaning because the information designer plays back the same content they received — without synthesizing it into a more digestible form — and adds a layer of graphic design following some aesthetic conventions of information design. True information design must go many steps beyond pure presentation and find the shortest path to understanding, removing all barriers and minimizing effort. That means guiding a viewer from an overview gradually to the detail, showing a whole and then breaking it into its parts, or connecting a new concept to something familiar. Information design should seek to create an ecosystem of understanding, where a potential gap or grey area is supported or reinforced by another resource, like direct phone or chat links to a live person, or signs and information at critical points of need along a service or experience journey. The idea is to do as much as possible to "be there" to help someone without physically being there.
4. Principles and frameworks, not just creative techniques
Generally speaking, information design thinking is largely absent from information design doing. The widely appropriated aesthetic of information design — pies, bars, diagrams, icons, and other graphic methods for visual explanation — creates a false sense of authority or credibility when applied superficially to content, as is common with the ongoing infographic/info illustration trend. This growing popularization of information design techniques reduces the practice of information design to a "look," and may free creators of information design from any obligation to think deeply about the content and make sense of it first. What's more, the emphasis in many websites and publications has increasingly (and maddeningly) shifted from information that is logical and meaningful to information that is beautiful. Part of the reason for this is that foundational practical information design knowledge is scattered across different sources or isn't clearly spelled out in one place. It takes years of practice and immersion in the literature (past and present) as well as teaching experience to distill the essence of information design work into basic, workhorse principles and frameworks, such as information coding systems and visual frameworks for diagramming. Once those principles and frameworks become second nature, information design can be applied to any kind and scale of challenge, from planning a meeting or learning experience to mapping out a corporate strategy.
5. Systems thinking, not just isolated efforts
Information design does not live in a vacuum — it operates within a context, be it a company or a society. For information design to have real value, it cannot remain locked in a one-off artifact that could potentially get hidden or forgotten from underuse. It needs to connect to people, ideas, and situations. It needs to be part of a living system and align with a broader rationale, whether it's a corporate vision and mission, a brand, an existing architecture, or a workflow. Information design that exists for itself or only serves one very narrow purpose isn't information design. Going further, an information designer needs to be mindful not just of the conceptual and organizational context, but also of the physical and environmental conditions in which their work will perform. The idea of a system extends to the lifespan of the solution: how accessible it is to different people, how legible it is in different lighting situations, how durable it is after repeated use, and how often it will need to be updated or replaced.
In time, I'm confident that more sense-making around information design will naturally happen as awareness grows about what it really is. But it will take considerable work: an earnest effort among all stakeholders to dive deep into the history, theory, and practice of information design; a willingness to share learnings and best practices with the broader information design/visualization community; an inclusive, instructive dialogue around unclear topics; and a mindfulness about how information design is represented and understood in the mainstream.

Can New Drug Reverse the Effects of Hereditary Blindness?
While researchers are reluctant to call idebenone a cure for blindness, the drug has restored the vision of some people who suffer from hereditary blindness in a recent clinical study.
Fifty-five people with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy — which generally strikes men in their 20s and leaves them completely blind within three-to-six months — were included in the study.
Of the 30 who were given idebenone, as opposed to a placebo, 11 could read an extra two lines on a standard vision chart as a result of six months of daily treatment. Additionally, nine who couldn't read any lines at all were able to do so after taking the drug.
The researcher's report no significant side effects to idebenone, and believe there is a chance it could also be used to treat other forms of mitochondrial blindness.

Attractive folding map of London from 1878 dividing the metropolitan area by parishes, etc.
This is the first state of two, with a later edition issued in 1884.
Both editions are quite rare.
OCLC locates 2 copies of the 1878 map (Institute of Historical Research and University of Adelaide).
Edward Stanford (1827-1904) was a prominent British mapmaker and publisher. A native of Holborn in the heart of London, Edward was apprenticed to a printer and stationer at the age of 14. After his first master died, he worked with several others, including Trelawny W. Saunders of Charing Cross. Saunders oversaw young Edward's early career, ensuring that he became a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. Associations with the Society eventually brought Sanders much business and gave him a reputation as a publisher of explorers. As testament to this reputation, the Stanford Range in British Columbia was named for him by John Palliser.
Stanford briefly partnered with Saunders in 1852 before striking out on his own in 1853. He was an agent for the Ordnance Survey, the Admiralty, the Geological Survey, the Trigonometrical Survey of India, and the India Office. He also controlled the maps of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, another lucrative source of income. In 1857, Stanford founded his namesake Geographical Establishment, with Saunders and A. K. Johnston as engravers. Thereafter, Stanford was known for his "library maps", particularly those of Africa and Asia.
Although he had authored many maps, the Harrow Atlas of Modern Geography and a similar volume on classical geography, Stanford is better remembered today as the leader of a successful map business. Ever in search of more inventory, he acquired the plates and stock of John Arrowsmith, heir of the Arrowmsith family firm, in 1874. By 1881 he employed 87 people at his premises at 6 Charing Cross Road, Saunders' old address. As he aged, he phased in his son Edward Jr. to run the business. He died in 1904. The business survived him, and the Stanford's shop is still a prominent London landmark today.
