Thesis: Publicly Funded Family Planning in Arizona, 1940–2017
Nearly seven decades ago, the US government established grants to the states for family planning and acknowledged the importance of enabling all women to plan and space their pregnancies, regardless of personal income. Since then, publicly-funded family planning services have empowered millions of women, men, and adolescents to achieve their childbearing goals. Despite the recognized importance of subsidized family planning, services remain funded in a piecemeal fashion.

Adolescent Family Life Act (1981)
The 1981 Adolescent Family Life Act, or AFLA, is a US federal law that provides federal funding to public and nonprofit private organizations to counsel adolescents to abstain from sex until marriage. AFLA was included under the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1981, which the US Congress signed into law that same year. Through the AFLA, the US Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, funded a variety of sex education programs for adolescents to address the social and economic ramifications associated with pregnancy and childbirth among unmarried adolescents.

Planned Parenthood v. Danforth (1976)
On 1 July 1976, the US Supreme Court decided in the case Planned Parenthood v. Danforth that provisions of a Missouri law regulating abortion care were unconstitutional. That law, House Bill 1211, restricted abortion care by requiring written consent for each abortion procedure from the pregnant woman as written consent of the woman's husband if she was married, or the written consent of her parents if she was unmarried and younger than eighteen. House Bill 1211 also required that physicians make efforts to preserve the lives of aborted fetuses.

"Family Limitations" (1914), by Margaret Higgins Sanger
In 1914, Margaret Sanger published "Family Limitations," a pamphlet describing six different types of contraceptive methods. At the time Sanger published the pamphlet, the federal Comstock Act of 1873 had made distributing contraceptive and abortion information through the US postal service illegal. The Comstock Act classified contraceptive information as obscene and limited the amount of information available to individuals about preventing pregnancies.

No-scalpel Vasectomy
No-scalpel vasectomy, or NSV or keyhole vasectomy, is a surgical method of sterilization that involves puncturing the skin of the scrotum to access the vas deferens, a tube that carries spermatozoa, or sperm, from the testes to the penis. The surgeon performing the procedure blocks the flow of sperm through the vas deferens, sterilizing the patient. NSV is a less invasive procedure, as it does not use a scalpel to make a deep cut on sensitive scrotal tissue.

After a tough 0-2 start to the season, the Denver Broncos are about to enter desperation mode for that first win. It won't be easy in Week 3 as the team will be on the road against Aaron Rodgers and the undefeated Green Bay Packers.
Tasked with defending against Rodgers is a Broncos defense that has been a bit up and down to start the year. In fact, they are the only defense as yet to register a sack or turnover in a game. No one knows good defense better than Chris Harris Jr. and he met with the media on Tuesday to discuss the Packers and how the Broncos defense hopes to contain that Rodgers-led offense.
On what he thinks stands out about Rodgers
"His accuracy. He can make every throw. He's very intelligent. Shoot, he's one of the best to ever do it. I've had—I would say—I can't remember our record, I think I've lost to him once I think, but other than that it's been great battles.
"Aaron Rodgers is known—he's great at extending the time in the pocket, letting his guys get time to get open. He's one of the best to ever do it at that. There's a reason why he does hold the ball a little bit longer because he's making plays for everybody else, but hopefully we can use that in our favor and be able to get some sacks."
On if Rodgers holding the ball longer will benefit the Broncos defense
"We don't want him running around and buying time. We have to be able to make it a tight pocket for him, make it where he can't buy that time and extend those, just collapse them and hopefully get some push up the middle."
On how the 2015 Broncos were able to contain and shut down Rodgers
"We were able to play man-to-man and bring the heat every time. We can't do that. It's hard to do that now."
On what the defense has to do to start generating turnovers in games
"We have to rattle the quarterback. We haven't been able to rattle him. Most teams are running the ball a lot more verses us. We have to try and get them in third-and-long, second-and-longs. We have to win first and second down better. That will help us get in more pass rush situations and also try to figure out a way to get a lead. Once we get a lead, then we can sick the dogs out on them and really let all our D-line loose."
On how the team is going to keep a tough loss from turning into a streak of losses
"I think the mindset in the locker room in the team is different. I think guys were definitely upset that we lost that game, but I think that's going to make us hungrier. It's going to make us continue to want to get better and practice harder. That's my job is to continue to show great effort at every day on the practice field, lead by example by the way I practice every day and prepare and hopefully the guys still follow."
It's that last part that is most encouraging.
If the players still believe in Vic Fangio then the season's by no means lost and they could start to surprise some people now that Denver is being written off.
At least, that's what this fan is hoping for.

What's wrong with reproductive cloning?Friday, June 15th, 2007
I was thinking over the various issues associated to ESCR (Embryonic Stem Cell Research) when a thought occured to me: everyone always recoils over the issue of cloning, but why is that? I mean, I know why I'm against it. It's contrary to God's design of how we are conceived, which is naturally through sexual intercourse. But most of society doesn't agree with me about that being at all important as can be seen by the vast support for test tube babies and the such.
Is there are argument against reproductive cloning that doesn't hinge on natural conception?
I'm not talking about arguments against killing embryos/babies like ESCR or organ farming would do. I'm talking about arguments against creating a cloned embryo, implanting that embryo in a woman and raising it as if it were a regular son or daughter, particularly arguments that don't also apply to non-eugenic (i.e. sex selection, disability filtering, etc.) artificial implantation.
Anyone have any ideas?

A still from 2012's "Tosca." Courtesy of Winter Opera St. Louis
This Friday, November 8, 2013, Winter Opera St. Louis opens its seventh season. This year, they have chosen to stick with the classics, kicking off with Charles Gounod's Faust, followed by Giuseppe Verdi's Falstaff in February and Lucia di Lammermoor by Gaetano Donizetti in March. All performances will be at the Skip Viragh Center for the Arts at Chaminade (425 S. Lindbergh).
Winter Opera's general director/founder/occasional leading lady Gina Galati chooses the productions herself, along with music director Steven Jarvi, who is also the new resident conductor of the St. Louis Symphony.
Galati says of their choices, "We wanted more traditional operas. These all have really tragic characters. [Faust] is about good and evil, but people can relate it to their everyday lives…it's about temptation, jealousy, all things we know."
Faust tells the story of an old man (played by Clay Hilley) who becomes disillusioned with life. He turns away from God, and prays to the Devil instead. When the Devil, who goes by the name of Méphistophélès (Timothy J. Bruno), offers him power, glory, or wealth, Faust asks only for his youth, which he is given in exchange for his servitude in the afterlife. Faust then begins his pursuit of his love, the young Marguerite (Julia Ebner), with horrible consequences.
Through their extensive casting process, Galati feels that they have a truly well-cast season. Every year, they hold auditions in New York, looking for "seasoned performers, good singers and musicians, and getting around 300 to 350 applications every season. We weed them out and then have auditions. We heard about 150 people in New York and maybe 100 here in St. Louis."
Galati wears many hats at Winter Opera. She says she began the opera seven years ago because "for a long time, there were just the summer operas here. We're just hoping to enrich the St. Louis community the most we can." Along with being the general director, Galati performs in one production every season, often as the leading soprano—she will play Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor this spring. Though she says it gets hectic having so many duties, her passion for opera clearly drives her.
For those who have never been to the opera, Galati encourages them to visit Winter Opera and have a moving experience. She says, "Opera involves all of the different arts. It has the visual, it has the music, and it has great stories. Something that I notice that people really like is that we don't use microphones. We also always have the supertitles. It's just the perfect repertoire because it's got everything. Even dancing. If you like the theatre, if you like classical music, if you like literature (Faust is based on Goethe's work), you will love the opera."

The correlation between exercise and good mental health
November 21, 2019, read. This article is more than 3 years old
Good mental health and a positive self-image are directly related.
This is especially pertinent for university students, particularly those new to the university lifestyle. First year students may feel the pressure of new experiences and feelings, which can bring on new levels of stress, anxiety and depression. Exercise is a great way to combat these emotions.
At university, stress, anxiety and depression can become prevalent among students for a multitude of reasons, including exams, a new environment, and a higher difficulty of education. Sport has the ability to take these stresses away and help you deal better with an unsure environment.
The social aspect of a sport can be a real draw for many individuals, and this exposure to new people, new friends and a team environment can really help provide motivation for darker times.
Not all sport has to be team orientated, however. Running, swimming and cycling are all examples of sports I have turned to when a break is needed from the pressure of university life. I have found that running has often provided me with the necessary headspace to think through my situation and give me some clarity in difficult situations. Cycling, (often long distances,) gives me a feeling of accomplishment and achievement when I take a look at the map and realise how far I have gone. It doesn't matter what level your interest is in sport, there will be something for you.
Exercise has the benefit of improved self-esteem, improved sleep, increased energy levels and reduced stress. Therefore, it can be a powerful tool in combating mental health issues. It is not widely known that "exercise can treat mild to moderate depression as effectively as anti-depression medication" (helpguide.org) but I believe this fact should be recognised amongst students. Exercise is good for you physically, mentally and emotionally.
For me, sport has the ability to distract my mind from essays and stress while I am participating in it, as well as making me feel positive about myself afterwards. I go to a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class twice a week, and regardless of my feelings before the session, I always leave feeling more positive and relaxed, whether or not I perform well at the sport. I find that while I am in the Jiu jitsu zone, I cannot focus on anything else; it's a great remedy for assessment stress.
At the University of Lincoln, there are a multitude of opportunities to get involved in exercise and sports, of both the individual and team varieties. The many sport societies at the university range from Archery to Yoga. Check out the student union website for more details: https://lincolnsu.com/activities/sports

CF bulb failure
2009-02-25 15:44:39.818644+00 by Dan Lyke 6 comments
Discussion last night at the Santa Rosa Perl Mongers group included a little bit on someone who'd looked extensively at compact flourescent bulb failure. Apparently in most bulbs there's a capacitor that's spec'd for enough heat if the bulb is run tubes up, but not tubes down. So, depending on the bulb, tubes up plug down can be good for the actual claimed life span, tubes down plug up, as in a ceiling fixture, may fail in a few months.

DeAndre is wrapping his anticipated debut album.
DeAndre is busy putting on the final touches for his highly-anticipated debut solo album, which is yet untitled. Deciding on all of the details is part of the final stretch of work left to do on the album.
No matter the title, the work will be stellar. The cast of players dictates that. With Joshua Bowlus on piano, John Lumpkin on drums, and both Jonathan Baptiste and Ricky Ravelo on bass, DeAndre has compiled some of the brightest and most unique players to give his compositions light.
Recorded partly at John Lumpkin Studios and the state-of-the-art NFS Records Ranch, this debut is certainly worth the wait.

Will SPR analysis help assess blue warehou?
An Australian breakthrough in stock assessment science looks to solve the problem of assessing data-poor fisheries and make assessment processes affordable. The approach estimates the proportion of spawning occurring relative to unfished levels rather than estimating sustainable catch levels directly, simply indicates whether fishing pressure should be incrementally increased or decreased until stocks and catches stabilize at management targets. The technique makes assessment possible with information about average maximum size, or size of maturity, and current size composition. Eliminating the need for information about stock structure, catch rate trends and biomass estimates the new approach promises to slash the cost of fisheries assessments worldwide.
Blue warehou is one of the three stocks (of more than 30 commercial stocks in total) in the fishery with a quota set that only allows unavoidable by-catch. No targetting is allowed until the stock rebuilds. Industry has worked to avoid blue warehou and CSIRO confirms that an analsysis of the fishery shows less and less targeting. However, no targetted fishing means that it is very difficult to assess the stock's abundance. Thousands of length/frequencies collected by industry, the observer program and on previous fishery surveys may have the potential to feed into a future SPR analysis and provide a trend in abundance.
For more information on SPR analysis contact Dr Jeremy Prince.

Aron Ralston – Between a Rock and the Hardest Place
What happens when a solitary day hike turns into the ultimate test of survival?
Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app.
AT 11 O'CLOCK ON THE NIGHT OF FRIDAY, April 25, 27-year-old Aron Ralston parked his truck at the Horseshoe Canyon Trailhead, west of Canyonlands National Park in southeastern Utah, and slept in the covered bed. The next morning at 9:15, he bicycled 15 miles south along Maze-Robbers Roost Road until he reached a shortcut leading to the head of Bluejohn Canyon's main fork. He locked his mountain bike to a juniper tree and set out on foot toward the gulch.
By 2:45 p.m., Ralston had started his solo descent into the deep, narrow slot of Bluejohn Canyon. Passing over and then under boulders that clogged the three-foot-wide penumbral passage, Ralston was negotiating a ten-foot drop between two ledges when an 800-pound boulder shifted above him. He snapped his left hand out of its path in time, but his right hand was smashed between the rock and the sandstone wall.
"The adrenaline was pumping very, very hard through my body," Ralston recounted at his May 8 press conference at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado, one of only several broadcast appearances he's made since his accident. (At press time, he'd done no print interviews; he had, however, assisted Outside in verifying the account that follows.) "It took some good, calm thinking to get myself to calm down and stop throwing myself against the boulder."
Ralston was trapped, alone in a remote canyon. Rescue was unlikely: He'd neglected to inform anyone of where he was going, which he later acknowledged is "something I almost always do but I failed to do this time."
Six foot two, long, lean, and fit, Ralston is an accomplished outdoor athlete. He first became interested in climbing in 1996, after reading about the Everest disaster in which eight mountaineers lost their lives in a single storm. "I wondered what I would do if I were in a situation like that," he told a reporter earlier this year.
He grew up in Colorado and graduated with honors from Carnegie Mellon University in 1997, with a double major in mechanical engineering and French, then worked at Intel for five years, hopscotching to posts in Phoenix, Tacoma, and then Albuquerque, where he volunteered on a local search-and-rescue team. In the spring of 2002, he moved to Aspen, Colorado, took a retail job at Ute Mountaineering, a local shop, and began training to become a guide.
According to his Web site, Aron's Optimal Experiences On-Line, Ralston has built an impressive outdoor résumé: topping out on 34 of the 50 states' highest points, soloing 45 of Colorado's 59 fourteeners in winter, and, in June of 2002, summiting 20,320-foot Mount McKinley.
This kind of serious adventure invariably involves risk. In March 2003, Ralston and two companions were backcountry skiing on Resolution Peak, in central Colorado, when they got caught in an avalanche. "I just remember rolling down with it. Powder was swirling all around, and I was trying to breathe, but I would breathe a mixture of snow and air, and you'd swallow it like seawater," Ralston told The Denver Post after the slide. "It was horrible. It should have killed us."
It didn't. Buried up to his neck, Ralston was rescued by his friend, and together they dug out the third skier. It was less than a month later when he embarked on a solo day hike in the Utah desert.
After the boulder crushed his hand, Ralston explained at the press conference, "I very quickly figured out some of my options. I began laying plans for what I was going to do." He also inventoried his provisions: two burritos, one liter of water, and some candy bar crumbs. One possibility was that "someone would happen along the trail" and rescue him. No one did, so he spent the first of five nights in the slot canyon working on Plan B: futilely chipping away at the rock with his multitool, a cheap knockoff of a Leatherman model.
The next day, Sunday, using his climbing gear and his search-and-rescue skills, he moved to Plan C: rigging ropes in an attempt to hoist the boulder off his hand. This also failed.
On Monday, he rerigged the ropes and again tried moving the rock. "At no point was I ever able, with any of the rope mechanics, to get the boulder to budge even microscopically," Ralston said.
He kept chipping away at the boulder, but over the next few days he would often simply pause. "There were times when I thought that was the most efficient use of my time," he explained.
He thought a lot about dying and was afraid at first, but he "came to peace with death over the time spent in the canyon."
On day four of his ordeal, Tuesday, April 29, Ralston ran out of water. Realizing he would die of dehydration within days, he prepared to reckon with his last resort: severing his hand with the blunt blade of his multitool.
"Essentially I got my surgical table ready and applied the knife to my arm, and started sawing back and forth. But I didn't even break the skin. I couldn't even cut the hair off of my arm, the knife was so dull," he said.
On Wednesday, he managed to puncture the skin but realized he wouldn't be able to cut through the bone.
By Thursday, May 1, growing weak and having passed through stages of depression, hope, and prayer, Ralston decided he would have to break his arm near the wrist to extricate himself. "I was able to first snap the radius," he calmly recalled, "and then, within a few minutes, snap the ulna at the wrist, and from there I had the knife out and applied the tourniquet and went to task. It was a process that took about an hour."
He sawed through the soft tissue between the broken bones and amputated his hand.
"All the desires, joys, and euphorias of a future life came rushing into me," Ralston stated at the press conference. "Maybe this is how I handled the pain. I was so happy to be taking action."
Ralston rigged his rope, set his anchors, rappelled 60 feet to the floor of Bluejohn Canyon, and hiked five miles downstream into Horseshoe Canyon, supporting the bloody stump of his right arm in a makeshift sling fashioned from a CamelBak pack. He ran into three hikers from Holland who gave him Oreos and water and helped him carry his pack another mile. At 3 p.m., he was finally rescued by a helicopter, which had begun searching for him when friends in Aspen, worried because he hadn't shown up for work, called the Utah authorities.
Flown first to Allen Memorial Hospital, in Moab, Utah, he walked unaided off the helicopter to a waiting gurney team. Later that day, he was transferred to St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, where he underwent the first of several surgical procedures to prepare his right arm for a prosthesis. Three days later, a team of 13 rangers trekked into the canyon to retrieve Ralston's hand. Using a hydraulic jack and a grip hoist, it took them an hour to lift the boulder. Ralston had carved the words good luck now into the rock just before he severed his hand.
IN THE DAYS AND WEEKS after the accident, more than 500 articles worldwide and hundreds of TV and radio news segments recounted the gruesome details of Ralston's self-rescue. His story held us spellbound.
Because it was real. It trumped the repulsive sensationalism of Fear Factor, the voyeurism of Survivor, and the improbable terrors of The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook. It was life-or-death. No safety net. No film crews. No prizes but the biggest: life.
But there was something else.
A friend and I were discussing the story when he confided, "You know, I guess I have doubts. I don't know if I could do that." This from a man who recently had climbed six peaks in Peru in six weeks. And he wasn't the only one. I had dozens of conversations like this after the story hit the press. Aron Ralston, through simple courage and cool self-appraisal, had cut through all the feckless fakery of "reality" TV and prompted us to ask ourselves the inescapable question: Could I do that?
Al Siebert, ex-paratrooper, founder of the Resiliency Center, an outreach program in Portland, Oregon, and author of the 1996 book The Survivor Personality, has studied hundreds of stories of survival and has found that, in many cases, the answer may lie in a handful of specific behavioral traits.
"Survivors rapidly read reality," says Siebert. "When something horrible happens, they immediately accept the situation for what it is and consciously decide that they will do everything in their power to get through it." That is, they have the ability to rationally accept dreadful circumstances without becoming angry or passive, two common responses to extreme stress.
"Getting angry is just a waste of precious energy," says Siebert, "and playing the victim dramatically increases your likelihood of dying."
After adjusting to the new circumstances, survivors start looking very hard, but also very imaginatively, for solutions. "I call it integrated problem-solving behavior," says Siebert. "By that I mean it's a mixture of left-brain thinking—logical, linear, Mr. Spock—and right-brain thinking—intuitive, creative, lots of leaps of faith."
One of Siebert's most intriguing discoveries is that survivors tend to exhibit "biphasic personality traits," which means they have oppositional, counterbalancing behavior. "It is to be proud and humble, positive and negative, selfish and unselfish, cooperative and rebellious, spiritual and irreverent," Siebert writes in The Survivor Personality. In other words, Hollywood has it wrong: Survivors are not brutish, one-dimensional Rambo types or combustible Scarface maniacs; rather, they are complex, compassionate, and, most important, open-minded.
Peter Suedfeld, professor emeritus of psychology at the University of British Columbia, who has researched survival psychology for more than 40 years, puts it this way: "Beyond the fundamental will to survive, the foremost character trait of a survivor is intellectual flexibility.
"People under high stress are more likely to become rigid, which only decreases their chances of survival," he continues. Even in a jam, "survivors are extremely adaptable people. They know how to improvise. If one solution doesn't work, they try another. They don't fixate on one answer. They keep an open mind, searching for options, developing strategies."
And there are two other important survivor indicators: optimism and unflappability. True optimists recognize that their predicament is temporary, isolate the problem, understand that even if they haven't found a solution yet, it doesn't mean there isn't one, and recognize that they do have a modicum of control over their fate.
To be unflappable, meanwhile, is to be able to "tolerate bizarre experiences without freaking out." It's the old cliché: Panic kills. There are only three ways to cope in a tough situation—leave the environment, change the environment, or change your attitude. According to Suedfeld, "survivors are capable of recognizing which one, or which combination, will best increase their chances."
So, considering the psychological profile of survivors, if you tend to react to dicey situations with impatience, intolerance, panic, pessimism, passivity, pigheadedness, anger, or any combination thereof, you may not make it out alive.
FORTUNATELY, IT'S NOT JUST a matter of innate character or instinct.
"People absolutely can be trained to survive," says Frank Heyl, a retired air force officer and director of the Combat Aviation Survival School, in Helena, Montana.
"Everybody is born with the will to survive," says Heyl, "but it's like a muscle or a skill. You've got to nurture it, train it, build it up."
You can pick up the basics from any survival manual or basic wilderness-safety course: Never venture into the backcountry alone without leaving word of your intended route and return date. Always, even on a day hike, stock your pack with the fabled "ten essentials": knife, water, food, matches, map and compass, headlamp, cord, proper clothing, and sun protection. Heyl puts two additional items at the top of the list: "Your head is number one. It's the best survival tool there is. Number two: a basic med kit and the understanding of how to use it."
Then you've got to take this knowledge into the field. "It's all about hands-on experience," says Heyl. "Go into your local woods at night, in the wind, when it's raining, and see if you can build a fire. Go out in the winter and practice building a snow shelter. The more you practice survival skills, the better survivor you become." Ralston's SAR skills and his previous experience with close calls in the backcountry—his own and others'—are what gave him this mental preparedness.
Even for a hardened military veteran like Heyl, surviving isn't about being macho. "Men like to do things by the numbers. They like routine, but this kind of rigidity works against them in a survival situation. Women tend to be more flexible in their thinking, more adaptable, and this can make them better at survival," says Heyl. "It doesn't take Herculean strength to survive."
ARON RALSTON CLEARLY used his head, but would a medical kit or an informed friend have saved his right hand? Probably not. His experience lies at the outer limits of the backcountry-accident bell curve. "You are exponentially more likely to be hit by lightning in the backcountry than to be forced to amputate your arm," says Eric A. Weiss, emergency physician and associate director of trauma at the Stanford University Medical Center and author of A Comprehensive Guide to Wilderness and Travel Medicine. "Lightning is the number-one natural-hazard cause of death, and a sprained ankle is the most common backcountry injury."
Statistics from NOLS, the National Outdoor Leadership School, bear this out. From 1998 to 2000, NOLS had 465,753 program days and only 526 injuries, 48 percent of which were either sprains or strains caused by slipping on the trail. Wounds, bruisings, and bee stings accounted for another 21 percent, fractures and dislocations a mere 7 percent, and head injuries 2 percent. Frostbite, dental pain, burns, and infections made up the rest.
Even so, it's the fluky, once-in-a-lifetime accidents that keep us up at night, and it's the survivors' ingenuity—not their errors—that leaves the most lasting impression.
In 1997, Doug Goodale, a 33-year-old Maine lobsterman, cut off his right arm above the elbow after getting it caught in a winch. In 1993, while fishing near St. Mary's Glacier, in Colorado, Bill Jeracki, an ER technician, was pinned to the ground when a boulder crushed his left leg. Snow was forecast, and he'd left his warm jacket in his truck, 300 yards away; Jeracki, 47, didn't believe he would survive the night. Fashioning a tourniquet out of his flannel shirt, he cut his leg off at the knee with his pocketknife, "like you fillet a fish," using metal clips from his fishing kit to clamp the bleeding arteries. Then he dragged himself out to his truck and drove into town to find help.
That same year, bulldozer operator Donald Wyman was clearing trees from a forest in western Pennsylvania when a massive oak crushed his left leg. Using a rawhide bootlace as his tourniquet (which he tightened with a chainsaw wrench) and a three-inch pocketknife as a scalpel, Wyman amputated his broken leg below the knee.
BUT HAVEN'T WE ALL done what Ralston did—just shot out into the wilds alone without telling anyone? Desperate for quiet, famished for rock, thirsty for streams, craving the smell of pines. And, yes, of course, the chances of our quick trip into the wilderness turning into a life-or-death struggle are remote, but what if…? That's the clincher. What if that boulder, which has been in that same position for a thousand years, inexplicably shifts a fraction of an inch, just at the very moment that your hand is beneath it? What then? What would you do? Would you die?
It's not being dead that scares us. The most frightening thing is being a witness to our own death. Watching it come, knowing we are trapped, alone, with no one to call for help. Perhaps most of all, though, fearing we may have a choice but may lack the courage to fight, or the resolve to tell death to go screw itself—whatever the cost.
Aron Ralston had a horrible choice: to die or to mutilate himself. When a serac unexpectedly falls and instantly kills a climber, we are not fascinated, only touched by grief. There was no choice, no existential struggle, no opportunity for the human will to pull ancient power from the depths of its core and transform fear into focus. This, the steadfast, implacable will to survive, is what Aron Ralston has. And, should circumstances demand, it's what we all want.

USC Aiken
Math Educators Recognized by Statewide Organization
Aiken, SC (01/11/2019) — The South Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics awarded two University of South Carolina Aiken professors the Outstanding Contribution to Mathematics Education Award for 2018.
Dr. Gwendolyn B. Johnson and Gloria Allen earned the award based on their significant contributions to mathematics education in South Carolina, according to the SCCTM award criteria.
"The Outstanding Contributions to Mathematics Education Award this year will be given to two South Carolina educators, each equally deserving but who have functioned over most of their careers as a team," said Dr. Ed Dickey from USC Columbia who earned the award last year and presented it this year on behalf of SCCTM.
"While both have officially retired from USC Aiken, each remains an active leader at the USC Aiken Ruth Patrick Science Education Center and throughout our state, continuing to inspire and help educators grow."
In the past few years, more than 7,000 teachers and curriculum specialists representing more than 60 South Carolina school districts have participated in Professional Learning Mathematics and STEM sessions offered through the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center.
"I have had the privilege of spending my entire 26-year-career at USC Aiken working with Gwen and Gloria," said Dr. Gary J. Senn, director of the Ruther Patrick Science Education Center.
"They have always been significantly invested in improving mathematics education with the goal of improving student achievement. I have been incredibly impressed with their content knowledge and their ability to help educators improve their pedagogy."
For more than 30 years, the duo has dedicated time and energy to improving mathematics in South Carolina, according Dr. Bridget Coleman, a USC Aiken colleague. She says that individually, they have served in unique leadership roles in addition to teaching in classrooms. She believes they are super heroes in the quest to assist teachers and impact pre-kindergarten through college-student learning. Coleman credits them with designing cutting-edge professional development programs and curricula.
Both educators have impacted scores of USC Aiken education majors, including Debi Rood, who is a math and science middle school teacher for Aiken County Public Schools.
"Gwen convinced me science was fun to teach," Rood said. "Gloria was my math queen. She showed me how I could make math more interesting for my middle school classes, and that's tough. "They both had a big influence on my teaching."
For four decades, Johnson has dedicated time and energy to improving mathematics and science teaching and learning in South Carolina. She has served as a mathematics and science classroom teacher, director of STEM and college readiness programs for underserved populations, director of the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center, director of Allendale Elementary School Professional Development School, and as member of the faculty in the USC Aiken School of Education. Johnson was also named the 2014 recipient of the Pickens-Salley Southern Woman of Distinction Award.
For more than 40 years, Allen has put her passion for mathematics education into action for S.C. educators and their students. She began her career as a mathematics teacher and later served as the mathematics department chair and sponsor of the Mu Alpha Theta Mathematics Honor Society and Math Team at South Aiken High School. Colleagues and former students alike say she was a highly successful teacher and one of the first to bring graphing calculator technology to transform classroom experiences.
After serving as the CSRA's mathematics specialist for the S.C. Statewide Systemic Initiative, Allen expanded her teaching career serving as a faculty member in the USC Aiken School of Education while teaching courses in the mathematics department and serving as the director of the CSRA Mathematics and Science Regional STEM Center, located in the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center. Allen has volunteered time serving on local and state boards, including the Aiken County Public Education Partners Executive Board and the South Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics Executive Board.
During their K-12 tenure with the Aiken County Public School District, both Johnson and Allen were recognized as Teachers of the Year and served as curriculum specialists for the District.
Together, both recipients are active in professional organizations such as the South Carolina Leaders in Mathematics Education and the South Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Johnson and Allen have brought in millions in major grants for innovations in mathematics teaching and learning sponsored through the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education, the South Carolina Department of Education and the National Science Foundation.
"I don't know any more deserving recipients for this award than Gloria and Gwen," said Dr. Jeff Priest, distinguished vice chancellor emeritus and distinguished professor emeritus.
"This dynamic duo is responsible for turning more students and teachers onto mathematics than anyone I know. They are truly the most dedicated, hard-working professionals I know, and I always knew that when they took on a task, that it would be done right.
"I was not only fortunate to have worked with them as colleagues for over 25 years, but more importantly, I have been blessed to have them as friends."
These educators have officially retired from USC Aiken, but they both remain adjunct faculty, teaching a full load of mathematics education courses and providing engaging learning experiences for in-service as well as pre-service teachers.
"Their impact continues," said Coleman, a former student of Johnson and Allen who has been mentored by both of them during the last 25 years.

Tackling Lebanon's Electricity Crisis: Lessons from Yemen
Lebanon's electricity system is in a deep crisis. Power from Electricite du Liban (EDL)—the insolvent state-run utility—is now available for barely two hours a day, as the population has to rely on increasingly expensive diesel generators for power. In light of this crisis, it is useful to learn lessons from other countries that have faced similar circumstances. One such country is Yemen. Lebanon's situation is, fortunately, not yet as dire as that facing the people of Yemen, where war has been raging since 2015.But the very different responses to the collapse of Yemen's electricity system from the two authorities fighting for control over the country reveal some important and relevant lessons for Lebanon.
- Neil McCulloch
This brief outlines the Yemeni experience following the collapse of its electricity sector and derives lessons to be learnt for Lebanon. It discusses the approaches taken by the authorities controlling different parts of the country to address a near breakdown in service, notably the Houthi administration in the North, who fully liberalized the market, and the Internationally Recognized Government (IRG) in the South, who maintained a state monopoly on energy production and a highly subsidized tariff.Neil McCulloch is a Director of the Policy Practice. His main area of focus is on the political economy of reform in the energy sector. This has included work on corruption in the electricity sector in Lebanon; power sector reform in Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, and Nigeria; energy access in India; aid to power sector reform in Africa; and fuel subsidy reform in Indonesia and Nigeria. Previously, Dr. McCulloch was the Director of the Economic Policy Program at Oxford Policy Management and, before that, the Lead Economist of the Australian Aid program in Indonesia.

It's one thing to want justice for your kid when they've been wronged. It's entirely another to try to capitalize off their misfortunes in a quest to attain that ever-elusive Facebook fame. Well, you've got it now. You're welcome, beyotch.
Want to advertise with Turtleboy? Email us at email@example.com for more information.
Holla atcha girl: firstname.lastname@example.com
I'm sure you've all seen the video going around the last couple of weeks that shows an 11-year-old girl being whacked around with a highchair at Dunkin Donuts by a rival tween. It's been picked up internationally, even, if you can believe it. If you haven't had the pleasure, you can see it here:
We were outraged when we saw the video initially, like, who raised that little animal? (We'll get there in Part 2) The poor kid just sat there and… took it. No adults intervened. It's pretty sad.
But then all-star Daddy-O Jason Brillon
connoisseur of ratchetacular hotel mirror selfies and father of the abuuuuuuused, started messaging us and things went downhill from there.
Notice the verbiage – "the abused" – it is relevant for later, promise. And this guy talks like he's had a restraining order or 10 taken out against him.
SSTG had stepped in for Deskie, who, despite our repeated requests not to, decided to have Taco Bell the night before and was spewing toxic fumes from her nether regions; SSTG was already in a particularly rough mood and had no time to be bullshitted. But that's all Jason was doing.
First, if charges have been filed, you're on your way to getting justice, bub. Because the police didn't fly at the snap of your crusty crotch fingers and snatch a 12-year-old out of her section 8 shanty in cuffs, you want to… what? Put a tweeny bopper on blast? The fuzz waited 'til they had compelling, damning evidence in hand before they went forward with filing charges. You know, due process. 'Murica!
And there we have it… "neglegance" on behalf of the Haverhill Police. That's what this is about. It's not about his daughter, "the abused," it's about getting his name attached to some meal ticket of a "viral" sensation at his kid's expense and throwing shade at law enforcement in the process. Wonder why that is…?
Might be because his big brother Ronnie
trafficks OCs. And apparently has no time to clean his hovel either, despite having two vacuums front and center. I admit, Spongebob enthralls me, too, but… bruh. Fix the crooked picture on the wall held up by some stale Big Red AT LEAST. My OCD alarms are going off and now I need to turn in a circle 3 times and unlock and lock my front door 5… what?
8th Avenue and Cedar Street also happens to be right around where Daddy Dunks lives. So… big bro slinging drugs out of his house with the kids around? Maybe.
A mere two years later in 2013, Roly-poly Ron's pillheads had moved on to china white, and we all know competition is stiff in that market, so he made the savvy decision to move on to the next poison-du-jour – a little blow
And while little bro Jason seems to have been able to keep his nose clean (or know how to squeal real good) the whole family stinks worse than a cheesy ballsack on a 90-degree day.
Ronnie Jr., nephew of Daddy Dunks and progeny of Roly-poly
the younger one with the wonderfully manscaped brows, clam tickler, and derptastic gaping maw
the apple just kinda rolled off the branch with this one.
Arrested in Haverhill… Tio's house, maybe? Junior managed to steal $50k worth of wallets, personal effects, and jewelry at Hampton – that's a hell of a case of sticky mitts – wonder where he learned it from?
Anyway, back to Daddy Dunks.
This is not the first time he's attempted to capitalize off of someone else's pain and suffering. Back in 2010, he ran to the Eagle Tribune to give his "story" about picking up his friend, who'd been shot, at 3:45 AM from some hoodbunny's house – but Daddy Dunks didn't notice anything was wrong until he tried to toss him out of the car at Roly-poly's house:
"Brillon got a call from a woman who lived in the apartment house behind Rodriguez's at 3:45 a.m. Sunday. The woman said Rodriguez was drunk and had fallen down her stairs, Brillon said.
When he got to Haverhill, Brillon found Rodriguez at the bottom of a stairway so dark he had to use his cell phone to light the way.
"He was breathing funny," he said. "I cleaned his face. I didn't know he was shot. They told me he was drunk."
Nobody at the apartment ever told him Rodriguez had been shot, Brillon said. He never saw blood, even when he loaded Rodriguez into his truck. At first Brillon drove to his own brother's house in Haverhill, but nobody answered the door. His friend began to look and sound worse, so Brillon headed for the hospital.
When they got closer to Lawrence General Hospital, Rodriguez told Brillon what happened.
"He said, 'They shot me. I'm dying,'" Brillon said.
He said he thought Rodriguez might have been "set up" and robbed. Rodriguez, who did some landscaping work, had been paid earlier in the day and had a large amount of cash with him, he said. When Brillon found him, all he had were his keys and cigarettes."
Uh huh… I hate when I pick up my drunk friends from a crumpled heap at the bottom of a pitch black stairwell and then they go and start breathing funny and claiming they're shot and need to go to the hospital. Like, no, we're on the express bus to Big Bro Ron's house, motherfucker, no pit stops! Except… Roly-poly never answered, because when you're trafficking weight, 4 AM knocks are bad news
And he couldn't find a babysitter? So, by his own admission, he left his kid, who was only 4-5 at the time, at a crackden in Haverhill in the middle of the night all by her lonesome – where her uncle was busted just a year later for slinging pills. Seems like a real loving, caring dad.
So, while the cause is legit, Jason Brillon is milking this for all its worth at his daughter's expense, as he has done with every other heinous misfortune he's been tied to. Just look at the PSA he had his own 11-year-old put out on the Facebook machine:
"This isn't fake, I got abused" abused, abuse… this kid was groomed by her father on exactly what to say to elicit the most "boohoo" effect and that's the travesty here. This is not typical language for an 11-year-old, and if you couple it with the rest of her writing style, it just doesn't fit.
Jason Brillon has effectively made his child a victim and has shoved her down the throats of anyone with an internet connection worldwide. She will forever be remembered as the American tween who got bopped with a highchair at Dunkin Donuts, which will only serve to foster a snowflake mentality within her. She is 11 – she shouldn't even be ON Facebook to begin with, and she sure as hell shouldn't have her name out there, much less a written statement with her name and face attached that will NEVER disappear, for the rest of time, but well… look at what she has for role models in her life, and it's unsurprising.
What's not unsurprising is the lack of posts about the daughter from Daddy Dunks before the incident. His entire Facebook was dedicated to whining about being single, bitches, hos, you know – your typical ratchet fare
I really feel sorry for the little girl and I hope to God that I am wrong and she goes on to become a productive member of society – but given the family business, I think she was doomed from the jump. Let's see how long before the GoFundMe is up.

In my job in Korea, I routinely visited with military units on the front line of the Demilitarized Zone. I would check on defense plans, get to know the terrain, roads, and principal commanders, and check that General Michaelis' (my commanding General) orders were being carried out on the ground. I was in my office by 5:45 a.m. six days a week – on Sunday mornings also until time to take my family to church. All the Military Police and Operations logs were on my desk for the previous night.
Korea in 1969, 1970,1971 (when I was there) was a hotbed of racial tensions and heavy drug usage in American units – composed chiefly of draftees. Altercations between Black and White soldiers were not uncommon. Marijuana grew in the ditches, and pills of every color and type were available and cheap. The houses of prostitution and bars outside the gates of all military bases did a booming business.
It was just after 8:00 a.m. on a beautiful spring morning in early May 1970 when it happened. Earlier that morning, my duty Officer woke me to report Black soldiers were rioting in the two main camps of the 7th Infantry Division. Several buildings were burning, including the library. Barracks trashed. Fighting between soldiers.
Over my intercom "Squawk Box" came the order: "The CG (General Michaelis) wants to see you immediately." I ran up the stairs and reported to him.
General M: "Moore, you know what's happened in the 7th Division. It's in a hell of a shape. I've relieved the Division Commander. I'm going to frock you with your second star and give you command. Get up there and straighten out that screwed-up outfit!"
My reply: "Yes, Sir!"
"Frocking," means the Pentagon had OK'd General M. to pin on my second star before my number came up. (Note: I'd been on the promotion list for Major General for nine months. Frocking awards the rank, but the pay for that rank doesn't start until the number comes up.)
I left immediately.
The 7th Division consisted of 16,000 officers and men. No families. No women or children. A Brigade of three battalions was on the defensive line on the DMZ. The Division was scattered across South Korea in 23 Camps. Its headquarters was at Camp Casey 26 miles north of Seoul, just outside the notorious large village of Tongduchon with its whorehouses, bars, and drug dealers.
Given the choice of taking command of a red-hot, top-drawer, really good outfit OR an outfit in bad shape, I'll take the no-good one every time. Why? Because there's no way it can go except UP with strong leadership – and it's very challenging and satisfying to shape it up.
In a big outfit, a large organization, some sub-units will be in excellent shape, some less so. Some will have good leaders, some less so. Some will have persons in the ranks who are troublemakers or inefficient or negatively influence the workplace environment. Some will have people who should be rewarded with recognition, promotion, more authority, and responsibility but have not been because of poor leadership.
And so it was in the 7th Infantry Division. However, it was a time of crisis since word of the rioting and vandalism had spread throughout the 16,000-man organization. The Officers, Non-Coms, and the troops in the ranks were rightfully curious about their new commander and how he would tackle the situation.
When an organization is beset with problems in certain areas of activity, and a new boss is brought in to shape it up, the new boss should not assume the entire organization has problems. He should, however, take quick action to stop problems from spreading. In the doing of it, he must be careful not to cause the good, well-performing, efficient sub-units to get the erroneous impression that the boss is "down" on THEM. He should quickly determine accurately which sub-units are in trouble and which are not and take appropriate action. This also requires a hard look at the leadership in those units.
In any case, the new TOP BRASS should not just drift in, take over a desk, and start reading paperwork. The first thing a new boss has to do is stand up in front of everyone in his outfit, let people see him, and hear his main policies, standards, and goals. He should visit each sub-unit personally and strongly impress his personality, his spirit, on his subordinate leaders, and the people in the ranks.
He should never tell an outfit that it's "screwed up'; if he does that, it'll BE screwed up. WHY? Because the boss says so. If a unit is below standards, they know they are – in which case, after doing his homework, the boss should simply tell the unit it's good in certain areas, but others need improvement, WHICH WILL HAPPEN. At the same time, he should be learning his responsibilities, the mission/purpose of the subordinate units, and get a status report on each and their leaders.
Since the biggest problem facing me, and the reason I was sent to the 7th Division was the highly explosive race relations situation, my top priority was to get that cooled down and under control. Over ten days, I went to each camp and talked for 15 minutes or so to every unit in the Division. My main message was that I would see to it that every man would be treated fair and square, and it was up to every man to rise as far as his abilities would take him.
To deal with the race relations problem, I first had to get the facts – the details and scope of the problem. This I did on the highest priority. Right off, I learned if there were perceived problems of unfair discrimination, those PERCEPTIONS had to be dealt with just as carefully as REAL problems and with just as high priority. I quickly located the units and/or the camps with problems and promptly took corrective action with commanders and/or troublemakers, white, black, or brown.
Early on, it was clear many of the problems and perceptions of discrimination or actual cases occur at the small unit level. As I was checking into that, I discovered other small unit leadership deficiencies. So, after locating some officers and senior NCOs who'd been "around the track" a few times, I created an Officer's Leadership School for Lieutenants and Captains and an NCO school for non-coms up through Squad Leaders – each a week-long; Sunday – Saturday. We carefully chose well-qualified instructors from across the Division. I taught a couple of classes. These schools went a long way towards reducing racial and drug abuse problems.
Acting on experience and from my past study of successful commanders, I instituted tough day and night training, introduced numerous off-duty high school/college courses, including skills classes, and set up many athletic team competitions. We organized bus trips to historic Korean War Battlefields. We established and enforced very high standards of individual and unit discipline.
I had two principal advisers who played vital roles in helping me. Colonel Jack Bishop was a 3-war Infantry veteran who began his military service in the California National Guard as a Private, age 16. He'd risen through the ranks, knew all the moves, had heard all the stories, experienced most of the problems. He was my Chief of Staff. Dead loyal, dead honest, very candid.
The other was the senior non-commissioned officer in the Division – Command Sergeant Major Don Peroddy, a tough big fire-plug of a man who wore a handful of Purple Hearts and Silver Stars from Vietnam. He worked only for me, took orders only from me, and had unlimited access to me day or night. He ran the NCOs of the Division, set the standards, checked upon them, and was fearless. My first order to him: "Sgt. Major, I don't want any more problems in the villages around our camps. No more fights. No more problems with the Koreans." He straightened things out fast and kept them straight with NCOs in the bars, working with the MPs on the streets.
Finally a little humor… this "picture" was in the scrapbook given to Moore when he turned over command. Moore never forgot the troops and would routinely share their hardships. According to COL Tony Nadal (USA-Ret) who served in Vietnam with Moore, Moore refused to move out of his tent into permanent barracks until every troop in his unit was housed. Read the caption on the "picture"… the black one.

Steering Ball Bearings
I am currently reassembling the steering box on my '53 XK120M FHC. The box was taken apart many years ago and there appear to be missing balls in the ball bearings. There are three "sets" of ball bearings, the upper guide bearing, the lower guide bearing, and of course, the balls that make the steering work, transferring force from the worm on the steering column to the rocker shaft. Question of the month: How many balls are in each one of these bearing assemblies? I believe maybe 14 in each, but purely speculation. The large balls are standard 3/8" diam, readily available, but the small balls are 9/32", where to get? Any help is greatly appreciated. - Scott Selbach
A good bearing shop should be able to provide you with individual ball bearings, though they may have to be ordered from elsewhere. Check your local speedshop or Yellows Pages for bearing sources (I believe U.S. Bearings is a nationwide chain - also check the Web!). I'll consult my manuals for the requisite number of individual ball bearings. Good luck! - Larry Schear, Twin Cam, Inc.
In the Cavicke style of Christmas cheer, I am offering free of charge to anybody with the need: Ball bearing balls - 9/32" diameter - for the steering box on a XK-120 (only) 5/16" diameter - for the seat rails Bearing supply houses sell you a full box (80 cnt) and I only needed 26 for the steering box and 16 for the seat rails. Got the balance of each box left, and although not very expensive, I hate for them to go to waste. Let me know. - Scott Selbach, XK-120M FHC, S680701

I've been keeping an eye on our daily kWh usage on our electric company's website/app. That is how I knew the old air conditioner was using too much electricity. The new air conditioner is using 30 kWh less each day than the old unit. Watching this daily will help us in our goals to lower the electric bill each month.
This week I won a Swagbucks Collector Bill worth 21 SB.
One of the tasks that fell to me before and after Mom's passing was to deal with the paperwork/mail that comes in for her regularly. I also had to notify both Social Security and her pension company that she had passed.
