I-395 crashes not sign of a trend, state statistics show
The three crashes involving nine vehicles Friday morning may seem to be the latest among a growing number of accidents on Interstate 395, but state statistics show the three-mile stretch between exits 79 and 79A is not a high-incidence area.
The area of Friday's crashes has been under some public scrutiny after a March crash killed a Norwich firefighter. Police say Willis Goodale, 50, of Groton was intoxicated when he used the emergency service turnabout just south of the state police headquarters between exits 79 and 79A, causing Benjamin DeMond, 33, to swerve out of the way. DeMond was killed and his two young sons were seriously hurt. Goodale has been charged in the crash and remains incarcerated.
The DOT does not have crash statistics for 2012, but Kevin Nursick, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation, said numbers from the previous three years show a low incidence of serious crashes in the area, especially compared to the volume of cars on that stretch of I-395. The three-mile stretch between those two exits has seen 149 crashes in those three years, Nursick said, two of which were fatalities. One of those, a March 7, 2009, crash, claimed the life of a 20-year-old Connecticut College student. The van she rode in was struck by an intoxicated Navy sailor driving the wrong way.
Nursick said none of the other 147 crashes involved a life-threatening injury, and 118 involved only property damage.
That stretch sees an average of 45,100 to 56,100 vehicles a day, good traffic volumes that provide "a lot of opportunity for things to go wrong," he said.
"There's no pattern and based on what we're seeing, no indication of similar occurrences other than basic driver error," Nursick said. "The numbers don't show a pattern or trend correctable by infrastructure changes."
Infrastructure changes, Nursick said, could include lowering the speed limit or altering the roadway, similar to what was done on Interstate 95 in Waterford near the I-395 split after several serious crashes there. The top three causes of crashes between exits 79 and 79A on I-395 are the driver losing control of the vehicle, following too closely and improper lane changes, which don't jump out as a roadway problem, Nursick said.
"When we see a pattern, we'll jump in with a project to soften that infrastructure to try and lessen problems caused by driver error," Nursick said. "Unfortunately, everyone looks to blame someone else for their own failings. Car crashes are an excellent example of that. People come screaming at the DOT saying it's the road's fault."
Michael J. Thomas, the state police master sergeant at Troop E in Montville, said police, too, look at data to determine higher enforcement zones. The area in question has yet to become an issue, he said.
"If we have an influx of motor vehicle accidents and they come to be a common occurrence, and significant nuisance, we would closely look at it," he said. "These accidents, where are they happening and why are they happening and what can we do to reduce that? We do that all the time."
The first accident on Friday happened when Sylvia Feliciano, 40, of 444 E. Main St., Norwich, who was driving a 2001 Buick Century, stopped in the left lane after her tire blew out, causing a five-car collision. The crash was reported at 9:36 a.m.
Sejalben Patel, 33, of 39 Cliff St., one of the drivers involved in the crash, was taken to The William W. Backus Hospital for treatment of neck and back pain.
Police said about 20 minutes after the initial crash Jeffrey Hill, 57, of Baltic was trying to avoid the accident when he struck another car from behind. Police cited Hill with driving without a license and gave him a verbal warning for driving too closely. A third, unrelated crash around the same time occurred when someone rear-ended another car.
No other injuries were reported in the crashes and police said charges are pending.
"We can go out there, and we do, and enforce motor vehicle laws, and we run radar to try to catch offenders that are exceeding the speed limit or doing inappropriate maneuvers," said Thomas of Troop E, which has its headquarters on I-395 between exits 79 and 79A. "A good portion comes down to driver error, not paying attention, not being attentive. People need to monitor themselves and their driving habits. That's why these laws are in place."
Nursick, the DOT spokesman, said of about 100,000 crashes statewide in any given year a majority are "overwhelmingly the fault of a motorist."
"The top three are related to speeding too fast for conditions, following too closely and failure to yield the right of way," Nursick said Monday. "These are 'Drivers Ed 101' issues we're talking about. People tend to not be paying attention to the task at hand, which is operating that vehicle safely."
Two of Friday's crashes, Thomas said, happened because of a fluke occurrence.
"The five-car pileup probably wouldn't have occurred if she didn't have a blown tire," he said. "That may have never occurred, but those things happen and we deal with them."
Izaskun E. Larrañeta contributed to this report.

In our universe, he's an actor in our universe and plays parts that mirrors the lives of his alternate selves.Delete

Fair enough, but look at it in light of events earlier in the film, where Phil's using deception to get Nancy into bed, and then attempts to use very similar techniques on Rita to no avail. The first time (I think?) that he gets Rita back to his room (after the day that includes the snowball fight with the kids, etc.), I got the impression that Rita just wasn't comfortable having sex with someone she barely knew. If Phil truly transformed his character by the end of the film, he'd presumably respect that boundary.Delete

Maybe goatkcd isn't for you. If you were educated with even a basic understanding of history, you would know that the Battle of Agincourt and the Battle of Stirling Bridge have entered the popular imagination via legends. The dregs of society believe the Battle of Agincourt to have been won through the use of longbows when it was superior positioning and a muddy battleground which played a greater role in defeating the ranks of heavily armoured knights that were charging, while the "mooning" incident at the Battle of Stirling never actually happened.Delete
By overlaying the two, goatkcd is using the apocryphal "mooning" of the Battle of Stirling Bridge to direct an offensive signal at entrenched falsehoods in the public perception of history. As an admitted history buff, I find it hilarious.

That afternoon, I began hosing down the roof with water to make it difficult for passing rioters to throw a molotov up there and set the house afire if they came by the alleyway. Some of my neighbours were doing same.ReplyDelete
The rabid leftist across the street, a guy with a little goatee like Trotsky and an earring, came over and offered me a blank check if I would loan him my .22 pistol for the duration of the riots. He said his girlfriend was so scared she had been unable to sleep and he wanted it to give her a feeling of security. About two weeks beforehand, this guy had given me a long smug lecture about the evils of guns in private hands. I gave him the cold shoulder and told him to go up the street to the gunshop if he needed a gun. He said, "They've got a ninety day waiting period! I already tried!" I told him "You're s**t out of luck, then, I guess. Can you even appreciate the irony? That is called being hoisted by your own petard." It was true. The guy didn't appreciate the irony. He was a creature of emotion and now felt fear, maybe for the first time in his pathetic life. Ah, the utter blindness to self-knowledge of the liberal mind.
I had a roll of rusty barbed wire I ran completely around the property over the little chainlink fence. It was the only thing I could think of to give some measure of safety to our little dollhouse. I actually wired broken glass bottles to the tops of the gates and locked the latches shut from the inside with big thick padlocks. My wife came out with sandwiches while I was working and as usual had a good laugh at me. Not in a mean way, just amused a bit at how grimly I was going about the task. The previous tenant had left the barbed wire, a half dozen animal traps and some buckets of nails. Only the week beforehand I was complaining to the landlord about the big fat coil of rusty barbwire in the outdoor garage. I set the animal traps in the weeds on the other sides of the gates, because they were the most likely spots for a rioter to try to get a handhold to leap over the fence and land on the other side. Then I set my wife to making caltrops out of the nails using some ten penny wire. In about two hours we had made a couple dozen and I spread these all over the front lawn hidden by blades of grass. Since I had never made a caltrop before in my life I had a weird sense of accomplishment at this.

The sun was going down again and everybody on the block was vanishing into their homes on cue. I was starting to feel like Richard Matheson's character in "I AM LEGEND," trying to get back into my shelter with my preps before the sun went down before the vampires woke up. The police helicopters were flying overhead so often it looked like Robert Duvall's attack on the beach in APOCALYPSE NOW.ReplyDelete
That night, it was like deja vu of the previous night except ten times worse. They now had burned most of South Central to the ground and were working their way steadily north towards Sunset Boulevard. I had this sense of some epic confrontation approaching when they left the ghetto and started to hit the white neighborhoods the following day.
I went up on the roof to try resting my .203 in various gutter brackets and aiming at different parts of the street to see if I had a clear field of fire if it came to that. A police helicopter passed directly overhead and must have seen me with the rifle, but when he made a second pass after turning around I had dropped it into the gutter with my ammo and thrown some leaves over it, then pretended to be sweeping up on the roof so he might think he had seen a broomstick instead of a rifle. The thing about all this is that it was so out of character for me and yet it all seemed to be so instinctual. I was starting to feel like I had another person inside of me for 27 years and it took the riots to bring my true nature out. I was discovering that I was a survivalist. That was the real person inside of me, it was my real nature coming to the fore under stress.
When the sun went down and the long night began, I crawled down inside the house and set up my vigil in front of the television with a pot of strong black coffee. I had not slept more than two hours in the past two days and I didn't feel tired so much as weary from anxiousness.

I imagine some would go back and throttle Hitler in his crib with his own umbilicus. Others may go back to right some heinous wrong - a wrong either perpetrated on them, their family, or other group. Some might go back in time merely to observe, to not change a thing, but to simply experience a sort of hyper-nostalgia.
I'd go back to discover why it was, exactly, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge – that has really bugged me for months.Replies

Especially considering the guys he would play with. Look at how well the Flyers rookies played last year. Let Bennett play and see what he can do.
I don't think he will, and it's because of the veterans on the team. Of the forwards at camp, Bennett and Megna are the only ones that are waiver exempt. After losing Nick Johnson on waivers after last year's camp, I can't see Shero taking that risk again by putting Tangradi or Jeffrey on the waiver wire.
I'm sure Bennett will be #1 on the call-up list though.
yeah, i think just for contract reasons alone, bennett would have had to have a phenomenal camp to stay on the team. which means he probably won't be staying on the team. they'll see what tangradi can do and give him the boot if he sucks.

Please, will you tell him (or her) to stop spending so much money?
I frequently receive this question from people who want my advice about their partners spending habits.
Invariably, I say, No, because what they are really asking me is to tell their partner to spend money in accordance with their desires.
This reminds me of an illuminating observation from psychologist David Myers: The only chance of satisfaction we can imagine is getting more of what we have now. But what we have now makes everybody dissatisfied. So what will more of it do make us more satisfied or dissatisfied?
What can a couple do when they get stuck in a recurring conflict about spending? The solution lies in creating a shared sense of purpose and being willing to compromise.
Beginning a conversation about money, compromise and purpose can be difficult. Approach this talk with thought and planning.
For starters, mention how you are feeling about your finances and suggest that the two of you talk at a quiet, relaxed time. This puts the topic out in the open and can prevent your partner from feeling ambushed.
Schedule a date. I suggest a weekend walk or coffee. Walking can get you out in nature and may open you to possibilities beyond material satisfaction. Your talk should include your hopes and dreams so you can begin to form a shared vision for the future.
Take care not to blame your partner. Blame can be a way for us to vent our pain and disappointment you may be disappointed with your partners financial choices because they have gotten in the way of your dreams.
Instead of blaming, try to express how you feel. Being willing to take ownership of your feelings may help your partner open up and share, too.
More often than we realize, dissatisfaction in one or more areas of our life begins to creep into our finances. Is this happening to either of you?
If you can both acknowledge a desire for change, its time to look to the future.
My preference is to approach this type of change holistically. Consider a variety of goals: financial, physical, mental, family, spiritual, lifestyle and relationship.
Make your goals concrete by getting a journal to write them down. Each of you should take a few hours alone in a quiet place to ask yourself what has been going well in these areas, what needs improvement and how do you want to feel?
Finally, what do you want to accomplish in the next 12 to 18 months?
Then come back together to talk about what youve written. See how close or how far apart your perspectives are in each area.
In places where you are far apart, take time to share your ideas and listen carefully to one another, with the intent of truly understanding what your partner is saying and feeling. Talk with the goal of developing mutually beneficial goals and supporting one another.
Shared goals or dreams can be the stars that guide your relationship and guide you away from conflicts about money.

A west Kent County reclamation firm has been ordered to stop business due to environmental violations.
DNREC Secretary Collin O'Mara has suspended a permit for Mike Davidson Enterprises LLC that allowed the resource recovery facility to accept, process, and recycle construction and demolition waste. The suspension was handed down after the company failed to address repeated environmental violations and after Mike Davidson Enterprises LLC discounted a cease and desist order issued by DNREC. The order prohibits the facility, located west of Camden in Kent County, from accepting any solid waste including recyclable materials and requires Mike Davidson Enterprises LLC to take steps to protect public health and the environment.
The suspension of the permit is in effect until the company demonstrates to DNREC's Solid & Hazardous Waste Management Section that it is capable of operating the resource recovery facility lawfully and in compliance with the permit and with Delaware's Regulations Governing Solid Waste.
Mike Davidson Enterprises LLC was cited for 22 violations many of which were ongoing while the company continued in operation.
DNREC has given the company three months "as a reasonable time frame…to make the necessary changes to the facility in order to have the Solid & Hazardous Waste Management Section lift the suspension upon full compliance."
DNREC retains regulatory authority, including amending the permit, seeking monetary penalties of up to $10,000 for each day MDE does not comply with the permit or Delaware's Regulations Governing Solid Waste, pursuing designation of the facility as a "chronic violator" and granting an extension in the three-month compliance schedule for showing good cause.
The Secretary's Order suspending MDE's permit may be found at ww.dnrec.delaware.gov/Info/

Last time I said:
A good example of this is the way we deal with the Heart Sutra, which is considered by many to be the single most important sutra in Zen, the one that defines Zen as a distinct form of Buddhism. It ends with a whole big long section that says how wonderful this one mantra is and how everyone should proclaim it. I do not know, nor have I even heard rumors about, a single Zen Buddhist who chants that mantra.
When I wrote that I took it for granted that most readers had the same understanding as I do as to what it means to chant a mantra. What I was referring to was the way mantras are chanted in Hinduism and Hindu-based religions.
The Hare Krishnas, for example, chant the mantra Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare over and over and over sometimes for hours on end. In Trancendental Meditation, one is given a mantra by one's instructor guru. One then repeats this mantra silently while one meditates. It's usually just a few syllables long. Repeating this sacred word or phrase is supposed to help focus the mind on the divine. Here's a page that talks about the practice.
I just checked Wikipedia's entry on mantras and it appears that what I'm referring to is "mantra japa," which they define as follows:
Mantra japa was a concept of the Vedic sages that incorporates mantras as one of the main forms of puja, or worship, whose ultimate end is seen as moksha/liberation. Essentially, mantra japa means repetition of mantra,[8] and it has become an established practice of all Hindu streams, from the various Yoga to Tantra. It involves repetition of a mantra over and over again, usually in cycles of auspicious numbers (in multiples of three), the most popular being 108. For this reason, Hindu malas (bead necklaces) developed, containing 108 beads and a head bead (sometimes referred to as the 'meru', or 'guru' bead). The devotee performing japa using his/her fingers counts each bead as he/she repeats the chosen mantra. Having reached 108 repetitions, if he/she wishes to continue another cycle of mantras, the devotee must turn the mala around without crossing the head bead and repeat.
That's what I was talking about. And that is what the end of the Heart Sutra appears to me to be telling us to do with the mantra gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha.
But loads of people wrote in to tell me that at their temple they chant the Heart Sutra every morning or every Sunday or whatever. Yes. This is true. But I've never been to a Zen temple where they chant that mantra more than once.
I suppose one could read the Heart Sutra in such a way that it doesn't tell us to do "mantra japa" with that mantra. But I've never read it that way. I've always thought it was clearly telling us that we should repeat gate gate etc. over and over and over again.
Sorry for creating confusion.

Bulldog's home game vs. Portland Raiders tips off at 7 p.m.
To demonstrate their support for the American Cancer Society and its vision of a world with less cancer and more birthdays, Ionia High School's Varsity Girls' Basketball Coach Andy
Barr and the 2013 Relay for Life of Ionia committee have organized the 2nd annual Coaches vs. Cancer "Pink Game."
The event will raise critical funds and cancer awareness during the Bulldog's home game with the Portland Raiders at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19. By joining the American Cancer Society through Coaches vs. Cancer, college and high school coaches will spotlight the fact that while cancer remains a major health concern, everyone can take daily steps to reduce their risk of the disease.
"As a coach I want my players to look beyond basketball and to get involved in as many things as possible to help better their communities," said Coach Barr. "The Ionia girls' basketball program tries to stress this through activities throughout the season that tie in with basketball. We collected food items for the Ionia food pantry, we run a basketball clinic for special needs children, and we have our Pink Game to raise money for cancer.
"I hope that having them participate in these activities, they will continue to get involved in helping people in their communities throughout their adult lives."
Thanks to the dedicated efforts of high school and college coaches across the country, Coaches vs. Cancer participants have raised more than $85 million since 1993 to help the American Cancer Society fund groundbreaking cancer research, provide up-to-date cancer information and education, advocate for public health policies that benefit communities, and deliver services that improve the quality of life for patients and their families. Additional information is available at coachesvscancer.org.
"We encourage any sporting group to get involved in the Coaches vs. Cancer program as it teaches the students and parents a great way to get involved and give back to the community," said Dana Kamradt, Relay for Life of Ionia Event Chair.
"Cancer survivors admittance to the game will be free and the Relay for Life Committee has planned some extra activities throughout the game to increase the important of cancer awareness and the programs that the American Cancer Society supports," added Dana.
Purchase an event T-shirt through either school or by contacting Dana Kamradt at 616-755-2203 or firstname.lastname@example.com or by stopping into Wreckers, 116 S. Depot St., Ionia or call them at 616-527-0582.
About the American Cancer Society
The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; by helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation's largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing about $3.5 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year. To learn more about us or to get help, call us anytime, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.

We have a Civic League and a Civil League in Stuttgart, so the old coffee drinkers at the Daylite Donut Shop are forming a Silver League (the name is self explanatory, I hope.)
What in the name of ducks and rice is going on in Stuttgart? With all this crime, it seems we are going to wind up being a little Detroit. Besides the burglaries and robberies, they have now started shooting at each other. How many of these break-in artists do we have in Stuttgart? They have caught two bunches, but they still seem to be proliferating.
We have a Civic League and a Civil League in Stuttgart, so the old coffee drinkers at the Daylite Donut Shop are forming a Silver League (the name is self explanatory, I hope.) After all, all is fair in love and politics.
I would like to pass on some of the remarks and opinions that have been made about the rash of break-ins in our town.
Coffee drinker No. 1: I don't believe they are stealing to buy groceries, but are probably using it to buy drugs. Even if they weren't too lazy to work, they couldn't pass a drug test to get a real job. I mean, a guy works hard to buy something, and a worthless thug too lazy to work comes by and steals it. They ought to start doing what they do in the Middle East. The first time you steal, they cut one hand off; the next time they cut the other hand off. You ain't got but two chances to steal some good stuff.
CD 2: I will not criticize the police officers because they have a thankless job and put their lives on the line every day. However, I wonder if they have been ordered to patrol the places most often hit such as across Michigan and the eastern part of town? Also, have they been told to drive down the alleys as well as the streets since most are hitting the back doors?
CD 3: I think the officers should be directed to let up a little on the traffic citations and concentrate more on the targeted areas. I thought it was totally unfair for that poor guy who paid a hefty fine for tinted windows. A lot of drivers have tinted windows, some so dark you can't tell if there is anyone in the vehicle.
CD 4: Didn't I read where they fined a guy for not having lights by his license plate? How many people check there license plate light every time they go out at night? Shouldn't he have been given a warning ticket?
CD 5: These outlaws are going to kick the wrong door down one day and get blown half in two with a shotgun. Then all their friends will start talking about how fine of a person they were.
CD 6: I was puzzled about the story in the Daily Leader where the chief said break-ins have slowed, but the article went on to list quite a few recent break-ins.
CD 7: I guess we are going to have to start neighborhood watches in all our communities. Of course, that is not going to help if all the residents are working. I guess they will have to depend on us old guys to do the watching.
CD 8: Well, I don't have to be worried about getting fined for DUI because I drink a pint of whiskey just before I have my driver's license photo taken, so I will look normal when the police stop me.
We Silver Leaguers got our senile heads together and came up with a theory about why the burglars are so hard to catch. We believe the culprits are old men in their 70s and 80s who have nothing to do and are looking for excitement.
In closing, I hope no one wants to kill the messenger. All of the above citizens are very concerned about the crime in Stuttgart. One even said he would volunteer to patrol the alleys if the city would buy his gasoline.
One more thing: I have very, very, little tint on my truck windows. In fact, you can hardly tell they are tinted when the sun is shining. Honest!
One last thing: My license plate light is not working, but I found a flashlight with a magnet, so at night I just stick it on my back bumper and point it toward my license plate. I hope this will suffice.

Earlier today, U.S. District judge Douglas Woodlock in Boston dismissed a motion filed last month by the Winklevoss twins and Divya Narendra that claimed Facebook suppressed evidence during the first lawsuit brought by the brothers. The original lawsuit was dropped after the three men settled out of court for $65 million. As Facebook is estimated at being worth $100 billion today, the Winklevoss twins claim that they are owed more money based on the current valuation.
This latest blow to the Winklevoss twins may finally put an end to litigation against Facebook. Made popular by David Fincher's The Social Network, the original dispute stemmed from a claim the Zuckerberg stole the concept of Facebook from ConnectU. If the decision has been made in the favor of the Winklevoss twins, it's estimated that the settlement would be increased to nearly $500 million. In June, the Ninth Circuit court in San Francisco dismissed a claim from the Winklevoss twins that Facebook intentionally misled them regarding valuation of the company. The twins decided against appealing that decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The twins were under fire this week when former Harvard president Larry Summers insulted the two brothers in an interview at the Brainstorm Tech conference. Summers is quoted as saying "One is that they're looking for a job and have an interview. The other is that they are an a**hole. This was the latter case." The Winklevoss twins and Narendra responded to this comment with a letter to the current president of Harvard Drew Gilpin Faust, specifically calling for a public admonishment of Summers.
An attorney for the group stated that the court's decision was expected. Narendra and the Winklevoss twins haven't commented on the most recent court loss publicly. Both the Winklevoss twins have Twitter accounts, but recent posts have only complained about Larry Summers as well as interest in an upcoming cameo on The Simpsons.

To mark the occasion, Watonwan County Farm Bureau will be holding a Food Awareness Breakfast at Hometown Cafe, St. James, Saturday Feb. 23.
Watonwan County Farm Bureau is celebrating February as food Awareness Month. Food Awareness Month was created to bring awareness to all things food – from the farmers who grow and raise the food, to food safety and availability.
"Farm Bureau's food awareness month is aimed at helping American consumers learn about the food they eat every day," said Mike Rouillard, Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation (MFBF) Promotion and Education (P&E) Committee Chair. "Minnesota farmers and ranchers take pride in ensuring safe food choices for Minnesota families."
To mark the occasion, Watonwan County Farm Bureau will be holding a Food Awareness Breakfast at Hometown Cafe, St. James, Saturday Feb. 23.
Farmers are committed to providing safe and healthy food choices for all Americans. As Farm Bureau members, we want to talk with you about our shared goal of nutritious and affordable meals for our families. We are in the same grocery stores and restaurants as you having these conversations," said Watonwan County Farm Bureau Vice President Kurt Blomgren.
Minnesota Farm Bureau – Farmers/Families/Food – is comprised of 78 local Farm Bureau associations across Minnesota. Members make their views known to political leaders, state government officials, special interest groups and the general public. Programs for young farmers and ranchers develop leadership skills and improve farm management. Promotion and Education Committee members work with programs such as Ag in the Classroom and safety education for children.

Researchers from Texas A&M, studying the effects of violent video games, have released findings claiming that violent video games might not only be harmless, but could actually help curb violent tendencies.
CVG is reporting that the Texas A&M study, conducted by Dr. Christopher J. Ferguson, took 103 young adults, and began by giving them a "frustration task." After the task was completed, the subjects were split into groups that did not play a game, played a non-violent game, played a violent game with themes of good versus evil, or played a violent game as the bad guy.
The results showed that the violent games helped reduce depression and hostile feelings through "mood management," essentially acting as a "stress ball." Ferguson was quick to point out that more research was necessary, but he did suggest that violent video games could actually be used as a therapy tool for teens and young adults.
As with all studies, this one should be taken with a grain of salt, but video games have become an easy target for individuals and groups looking to place blame for all of society's woes.
The Continuing Debate
It is an endless argument, and one that will likely never have any real consensus. On one side, you have groups like the supporters of the recent California law that seeks to ban the sales of all violent video games to anyone under 18, and classify violent games in the same vein as pornography. The supporters of the law cited several studies that they claimed proved a direct correlation between violent games and violent tendencies in children. The law immediately went to court.
On the other hand, you have people like the judge in the Appeals Court that ruled against that same law, claiming that the studies presented were at best flawed, and at worst simply wrong.
"None of the research establishes or suggests a causal link between minors playing violent video games and actual psychological or neurological harm, and inferences to that effect would not be reasonable," Judge Consuelo Callahan said in the 9th Circuit ruling against the law.
The decision has been appealed, and the Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments later this year. Eleven states have issued amicus briefs in support of the law, while several video game publishers, developers, and industry groups have lined up on the other side.
Video games continue to draw controversy despite the notable lack of legitimate studies that show a correlation between increased violence in children and violent video games, despite studies that disprove any correlation coming from prestigious groups such as The Harvard Medical School Center for Mental Health, The Journal of Adolescent Health, and the British Medical Journal, plus several studies that claim that video games can actually be beneficial in terms of cognitive functions and motor skill responses, many groups continue to vilify the video game industry and claim that violent games make children more aggressive, even though juvenile arrests for violent crimes are lower now than in 1980 .
The debate continues.

We know a lot of people are anxious for Windows Phone 7.8, the OS update for current Windows Phone 7.xx users who want the new "look" of 3 Live Tile sizes, in addition to some other minor enhancements.
O2, via Twitter support, has responded to one customer by stating the update will come by the end of January and will be delivered by Zune desktop.
We should caution that O2 Twitter is not exactly an official announcement and we have seen some false information come from carrier support before, but the detail and confidence by which O2 responded here gives us some hope.
Windows Phone 7.8 was announced way back in June at the Windows Phone Summit. Microsoft said it would come only after Windows Phone 8 was on the market and they seem to be getting some mileage out of that commitment, seeing as it's been two and half months so far.
Though 7.8 is not a huge change, the new Live Tile design with three sizes actually goes a long way in delivering the Windows Phone 8 experience on current hardware. O2 is one of the first carriers to comment about availability of the update and we hope to hear from other carriers shortly.

Compactor death remains a mystery
Borodell Place, a charming little 19th century, block-long, dead-end street off Hempstead Street in New London, was an especially sad place during this week's snows.
If Floyd G. Smeeton had still been alive he probably would have been out with a shovel, helping his neighbors dig out, they said.
Smeeton, who was killed after being crushed by a trash compactor at the city transfer station last week, is missed by neighbors.
Friends recall him as a kind person who was always ready to help those in need.
One neighbor, while shoveling on Borodell Place Wednesday, recalled once hearing a passing pedestrian tell Smeeton that she would have the $20 to pay him back soon.
Lending $20 to someone who might struggle to pay it back, someone you may know because they pass by regularly on your street, can be the kind of thing, it seems to me, that practically gives you a free pass into heaven.
Not only was Smeeton's death unusual and unexpected but so was the arrest, hours later, of a young woman accused of breaking into his Borodell Place house and carrying things out.
Danielle Sullivan, 24, of Nathan Hale Road in Groton, was charged with burglary and possession of burglary tools and attempted assault of a police officer. She has a pretty extensive criminal record and also had the drug PCP on her when arrested, police said.
Smeeton's neighbor told me Sullivan did not live with Smeeton, but she visited him. Smeeton, 59, referred to her as his niece and told people he had become her legal guardian when she needed help, the neighbor said.
I did find a case in the Colchester Probate Court in which someone named Danielle Sullivan had been appointed a guardian when she was a minor. But the guardian was not Smeeton.
While I was on Borodell Place this week, the police were also there, interviewing a neighbor who reported seeing someone enter Smeeton's house after his death.
After making the Sullivan arrest, police said Sullivan knew Smeeton had died, but they didn't say how she knew.
I didn't have any luck getting answers from New London police about their investigation.
The state Labor Department, with its occupational safety division, is also investigating the compactor incident, according to a department spokesperson. That investigation could take at least a month, the spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, the transfer station remains closed and will probably not reopen next week, workers there told me.
Evidently there was a witness to the incident, another customer who saw what happened, the transfer station worker said.
The compactor, which is operating continuously while it is turned on, is located right below an operator control room with windows looking into the trash receptacle and the nearby parking area.
There is a gated metal fence in front of the compactor hold, and in order to put things in you either have to lift them over the top or open the fence.
The state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has ruled the Smeeton death accidental.
Smeeton did not drink, his friends say, and it seems unlikely he was intoxicated when he was killed. After all, he was doing chores and had driven his truck to the transfer station to unload trash.
Smeeton's wife of many years, a nurse, died of cancer in 2012, and friends say his life has been adrift since then because he was so devoted to her. He took some of her ashes across the country to scatter them in the Pacific, honoring her wishes. He also left some at the arboretum at Connecticut College, where they were married, in 1976.
Smeeton worked most recently at Mohegan Sun, according to a brief obituary that appeared Wednesday. But he stopped working after his wife died, friends said.
I couldn't reach any other relatives. Smeeton's neighbors on Borodell Place said police had to come and collect his pets. No service was announced in the obituary.
I did find, deep in The Day's archives, an account of a strange 1971 case in which Smeeton was sentenced to jail for a year.
It seems his mother, her husband and his brother were all charged in connection with a sexual assault on a minor female.
Floyd Smeeton, who was 17 at the time, was sentenced to a year in jail for carnal knowledge of a minor and risk of injury. His brother, two years older, was sentenced to a year of jail for risk of injury and given a suspended sentence for carnal knowledge of a minor.
Smeeton's mother was convicted of causing delinquency of children, but the verdict was set aside by a judge. Her husband was convicted of six morals charges, including incest, and was sentenced to three to seven years in prison.
That article did not describe any of the details of the case, and I couldn't find any others in the archives.
It does, though, seem to explain why neighbors thought Smeeton was not close to his family, why no one came to feed his cats when he was gone.
Knowing the story also made it seem a little sadder this week on Borodell Place.

Paul Rodriguez pulled off his first major contest win since 2009 with two flawless runs in the Street finals to get the gold. Switch front blunt on the main rail and the last switch 360 flip on the stairs proved too much for anyone to match. Ryan Sheckler came in a close second taking full advantage on every inch of the course. Finding himself in unfamiliar territory, Nyjah just couldn't put that final insane run together, but he did set the bar high earlier on in the final.
