Columbo Under Glass: A critical analysis of the cases, clues and character of the Good Lieutenant
Author: Catz, Sheldon
Publisher: BearManor Media
Acknowledged authors Catz, Sheldon wrote Columbo Under Glass: A critical analysis of the cases, clues and character of the Good Lieutenant comprising 428 pages back in 2016. Textbook and eTextbook are published under ISBN 1593939566 and 9781593939564. Since then Columbo Under Glass: A critical analysis of the cases, clues and character of the Good Lieutenant textbook was available to sell back to BooksRun online for the top buyback price of $ 6.75 or rent at the marketplace.
Columbo Under Glass examines the Good Lieutenant from every angle. It notes the "First Clues" Columbo finds that set him on the trail of the murderer and the "Final Clue" with which he arrests the villain. The book points out those occasions when Columbo has a "Sympathetic Relationship" with the murderer, and lists those rare instances when "Columbo Gets Angry." Read about Peter Falk's delightful expansion of the character and his unfortunate attempt to adapt two Ed McBain novels into Columbo episodes. You can find an in-depth discussion about Columbo's morality code, check out "The Supporting Cast," "Colleagues and Sidekicks," and "The Thirty-One Hats of Michael Lally" and spend time with "Bert, Barney and Dog." The book opens with capsule synopses of all 67 episodes (and of course the pilots and live TV show and play which preceded them). The episodes are extensively cross-referenced to a series of essays that truly put the great detective, his clues and character "under glass." With a foreword by Mark Dawidziak, author of The Columbo Phile. Sheldon Catz has been a mystery fan in general and a Columbo fan in particular for as long as he can remember. He finally caught all of the original (1970s) episodes and began making notes on them in 1989. By coincidence, this was when the series returned from a 10-year hiatus and Mark Dawidziak's book The Columbo Phile was first published. From 1992 to 2002, Catz served as chief writer and editor of The Columbo Newsletter, a quarterly fanzine where many of the ideas explored in this book were first introduced. When not writing about Columbo, he can usually be found at his day job, writing about the law (which is not nearly as much fun). He lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with his wife and daughter. Unlike Columbo, the Catzes have no dog (and no cat, either).


Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is expressing confidence President Trump will be successful in getting North Korea to denuclearize.
While speaking at Texas A&M University Monday, Pompeo said the U.S. has made the most progress in getting Kim Jong-un to make a strategic shift toward denuclearization. He added, North Korea is facing tough sanctions and he would like to see them lifted.
Pompeo went on to say the president has confidence North Korea can be a great economic power without nuclear weapons.

Busta has booked his place in the second round at Melbourne Park for the sixth year in a row.
Pablo Carreno Busta - image via https://twitter.com/SuperTennisTv/
On day one of the Australian Open, Spanish ace Pablo Carreno Busta sealed an efficient straight-sets win to take his place in the second round.
The Spaniard was no match for Argentinian qualifier Tomas Etcheverry coming through 6-1, 6-2, 7-6 (7-2).
The 30-year-old from Giron sailed through the opening set that included two breaks in the fourth and sixth game.
Etcheverry, who won three matches to qualify for the Australian Open, improved in the second set.
However, it wasn't enough as Carreno-Busta flicked through the gears breaking his younger opponent in the third and seventh game to seal the set.
In the third, the 2017 and 2020 US Open semi-finalist took an early break of serve, only to be pegged back by Etcheverry who forced a tie-break.
It wasn't to be for the 22-year-old though as Carreno-Busta turned up the heat with some big groundstrokes to move into round two.

Next up for the world number 21 is Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor who thrashed a poor Fabio Fognini in straight sets.
The out of sorts Italian was beaten 6-1, 6-4, 6-4.
Having lost in the first round of the US Open in September, the former world number world number is nine is in danger of slipping outside the top 40.
Having shown much promise to win a first Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo back in 2019, the husband of former US Open champion Flavia Pennetta, looks desperately short of motivation and confidence.
Fognini is yet to go beyond the fourth-round of a major, and at 34 time is running out for him to mine the potential that made him one of the sports best juniors growing up alongside Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic.
A post shared by Tallon Griekspoor (@tallongrieki)
Elsewhere, former Australian Open star Lucas Pouille, was knocked out in round one by fellow Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
Wildcard Pouille has endured a glut of injuries since making the semi-finals at Melbourne Park three years ago.
The 27-year-old has now fallen to 159 in the world.
Pouille made a bright start to take the opening set 6-3, but his lack of fitness and confidence soon showed, as he lost the following sets 6-3, 6-4, 6-3.
Czech Jiri Vesley, also slumped out to American wildcard Stefan Kozlov 7-5, 6-3, 6-4.
He will face seventh seed Matteo Berrettini next.

It's been a return to good fortune for many an angler after suffering a tumultuous period of indifferent weather and a set of reef closures. With fantastic weather on offer a lot of focus has turned to the action offshore and with good reason.
The day following the reef closures last week the Dragon Lady charter made a couple of slam dunks with their vessels tallying up impressive numbers of fish. At the forefront was the coral trout which was purely and simply in abundance and in excess of 50 trout returned back to the docks much to delight of the clients. There were other species amongst the haul including some large mouth nannygai, moses perch, stripies, spangled emperor and Spanish mackerel. The operation then continued this great form into the current week making a fist of things on the water. The above mentioned species continued to bite exceptionally well on all days but with the added bonus of some whopping red emperor and large mouth nannygai. Skipper Steve said after a slow start to the month due to some inclement weather they are certainly making up for this at the moment. The next couple of days in particular appear to be a glass out and the tides look quite handy with the approach of the full moon early next week. He can't see why the fishing shouldn't remain on a positive note.
Port Douglas Sportfishing has been spending a bit of time up the local inlet and they report some good action on the fingermark. Basically they have been the most consistent quality fish moving around with mid sized trevally, bream and mangrove jack making up the tail end. As with many other small boat operater/ owner a bit of coastal fishing is definitely on the cards in the coming days.
As of Wednesday local game fishing boats Amokura, Levante, Zulu and Black Magic find themselves in the top 8 positions of Lizard Island Tournament at the half way stage of the 7 day tournament. To date there are a lot of small black marlin around up to 300lb with a few big fish pushing closer to the magic number at 900lb.


250km further up the Queensland coast we set up camp at Alligator Creek, which is close to Townsville. The campsite is very good with flushing loos and hot showers. Really good value for $8 a night! The campsite is in the Bowling Green Bay National Park and is situated alongside Alligator Creek. The creek has running water and several good swimming holes, just right for cooling down in the heat of the tropics.
A quick skinny dip before breakfast and no, there are no alligators in there!
There are quite a few wallabies wandering around the campsite including the shy Rock Wallaby. These creatures normally live high in the cliffs and are very good climbers and rarely seen during the day. The wallaby in the picture below has a joey and it allowed me to get quite close. Mum stood about 70cm tall.
The other type of wallaby was an Agile Wallaby. The one in the picture was licking the tree before I disturbed it. It was almost twice the size of the Rock Wallaby.
On the track to the swimming hole Ali spotted this spider. It is a Golden Orb Spider. The web was very large and the spider was about the size of your hand. I wanted Ali to put her hand alongside it to show how big it was but she didn't think that was a good idea.
4. Throw the turkey away and eat the brick!
I guess they don't taste too good.
Townsville is a busy town that's a bit past its sell-by date. It sprawls out over a large area between the hills and the ocean. About 9km across the sea is Magnetic Island and I think this is the main attraction for tourists together with the reef further out. Captain Cook named it Magnetic Island on his 1770 voyage as he thought the island was affecting his compass. The magnetism must have worn off a bit, as it did not attract us across. The view from Castle Hill in the centre of Townville did give us a good view of the island.
Looking inland you can see the town spreading out to the hills in the distance.

VIDEO: Ichabods roll over Bronchos on Family Day
Mariauna Hernandez / Washburn Review / Video By: Andrew Huff, Washburn Review
It has been a storybook season for Washburn football.The Ichabods were all smiles Saturday after crushing the University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos in a lopsided 48-3 victory.
Washburn continues to create history, maintaining a now 7-0 record.
"Against [Central] Oklahoma, we probably played our best game in all phases," said Craig Schurig, Washburn head football coach.
Best game indeed. The Ichabods gained confidence early after quarterback Dane Simoneau's 15-yard connection with junior tight end Ryan Mertz for a touchdown in the first five minutes of the game.
The WU defense responded on the ensuing drive by UCO with a joint sack by junior linebacker Jahmil Taylor and freshman offensive lineman Bryan Dale on Central Oklahoma junior quarterback Ethan Sharpe forcing the Bronchos to punt after their first possession.
The Ichabod's following drive resulted in two forced fumbles by Washburn senior running back Justin Cooper. The second as recovered by UCO's junior defensive back Keno Meadows, putting the Bronchos on the WU 39-yard line. After a series of incomplete passes, UCO attempted a 55-yard field goal by junior kicker Chris Robbs, who came up short. The failed attempt set up Washburn's second score of the game with a 21-yard field goal by junior kicker, Jeremy Linn, closing out the first quarter, 10-0.
The second quarter began with a pair of punts. This ceased after a 58-yard touchdown reception by sophomore wide receiver DeJuan Beard put Washburn up 17-0. On their next possession, the Bronchos scored their first and only score, a 40-yard field goal making the score, 17-3. Washburn senior quarterback, Dane Simoneau, delivered one more score before ending the second half with another TD reception for 8-yards by Beard, extending the lead to 24-3.
The Broncho's first drive of the third quarter appeared to end prematurely by a sack on UCO's junior quarterback Ethan Sharpe by Washburn senior defensive end Corey Walker, but it was negated by a facemask penalty, giving the Bronchos a fresh set of downs. After an inability to convert on downs, UCO called on their punting unit once again.
The Ichabods marched 73 yards deep into Broncho territory to the 6-yard line, but they only came away with a Jeremy Linn field goal. UCO's next drive brought more woes after a fumble by UCO freshmen wide receiver Steve Caldwell on the Broncho's 24-yard line. The Ichabods capitalized on the turnover with a 23-yard TD reception by sophomore wide receiver Ronnell Garner. Washburn scored 10 unanswered points to finish out the third.
The final quarter continued the Ichabod's momentum with a ground breaking 75-yard run to the Broncho's 20-yard line by Washburn freshman running back Sean McPherson. This run set up yet another TD reception by Beard, packing on more points to the scoreboard, 41-3.
UCO rallied down to the WU 30-yard line before a forced fumble on UCO sophomore quarterback, Landon Greve. The Ichabods, sitting at a comfortable lead, started two different quarterbacks for the final ten minutes of the game. Freshmen quarterback, Mitch Buhler, completed his first TD pass of the season for 21-yards by Garner, his third of the night and the Ichabod's final score. Garner would play a huge part within the offense, having six catches for 127-yards with two touchdowns on the night.
"I don't think I play a huge role," said Garner. "I just think that I do what I can do for the team to win the game. Everybody has a part to play in the offense, it's not just me. I can't blame it all on me. It starts with everybody, all 11 other people."
"Everybody" is exactly what it took for the team to prevail. Simoneau was 19 of 31 for 338 yards with 5 TD's, Beard had five catches for 117 yards and 3 TD's and sophomore Matt Kobbeman had five catches for 60 yards. Junior tight end Ryan Mertz added to the explosive offense with two catches for 44 yards and one TD. McPherson tallied a breakout game with 16 carries for 120 yards.
Washburn's next game will be on the road where they will face off against the Northwest Missouri University Bearcats. The game will be held in Marysville, Mo. Saturday at 2 p.m. Since 2006, the last five meetings between these two have been WU losses that were decided by five points or less in each game. The Ichabods will be tested this week but are optimistic about the outcome.
"Against Northwest, we will have to play a little bit better," said Schurig. "We feel like we match up really well with them. I don't think we have to play above what we're capable of. As long as we play well, we'll be in good shape."

Conness via the North Ridge
random trip report
Pictures (c) by Neil Satterfield (our guide). Pictures with blue borders are linked to hi-res (1600x1200) versions.
Like most peaks in the eastern Sierras, Mt. Conness has a split personality. To its south is a broad sandy plateau, accessible via several lush and verdant valleys. To its north lies a hellish landscape of tortured granite, dizzying abysses, and heavily crevassed ice. Rob V. and I have climbed Conness from the south several times. Now it was time to attack from the North.
I put the trip together at the last minute, and hired a guide to lead us on the easy (5.6) but exposed North Ridge of Conness. The original plan was to climb with Rob and Dave Rockower, and for Rich Kraft and Eric Heien to hike separately. But Rick and Dave had to cancel, so I persuaded Eric (who had no climbing experience) to try the climb.
Eric and I drive to the Mono Lake campsite, arriving at sunset. It's warm and totally calm. There's a bit of haze from some forest fires in Yosemite.
We drive to Tuolomne Meadows and climb Lembert Dome. Some climbers are on the fun-looking north face. A hundred yards from the top we leave the trail and scramble up a 3rd-class gully; I want Eric to have a taste of Yosemite granite. The top is fantastic, sort of like the top of Half Dome. We consider walking down the front face but think better of it.
A group is hogging all three bolts on the top of Puppy Dome. We climb a 5.6 route on the lower tier, using the rope of a nice climber named Randy, there with his kid Sam. Eric struggles a bit.
Eric and I are tired. We rest in shade near the parking lot and Rob V. arrives around 3:30. We set up a rope from the top anchor and do the 5.6 face route. Then we drive to the Mobil station and have dinner at its oddly gourmet-ish restaurant. There's some activity on the trapeze.
We get up before 6, break camp, and are at the Mobil station at 7. We meet the guide, Neil Satterfield. We take 3 cars, leaving one at the walk-in campground, and go to Saddlebag lake. To save time we take the ferry across the lake.
The valley fed by Conness glacier is extremely beautiful. We follow a trail (an old mining road, according to Neil) for a half mile, then turn left up the valley, staying on its right slope to avoid a couple of big moraines.
Conness is the rounded peak left of center. Our route: up to the ridge at its lowest point, then along ridge to the summit.
As we climb, the Conness glacier becomes fully visible. A use trail crosses a steep dirt slope and eventually goes left of some big rocks and comes out on the North Ridge, which connects Conness and North Peak.
Neil carries a Canon S100 and takes photos; he'll sell you a CD-ROM for $30. This turns out to be a good deal because he's an excellent photographer and knows all the good places to take exciting shots.
Concentration!
We short-rope along the ridge for a while. The climbing is barely class 3 but there are big drop-offs on either side. Eric is tentative; Neil encourages him to speed up. There are a couple of big downclimbs; the route avoids the spiky top of the ridge.
Finally we get to the 'technical' section, which is just hard and exposed enough that Neil belays us. He sets a series of highly redundant anchors, and has us 'simul-climb' on two separate ropes for speed: Eric on one, Rob and me on the other. I go last and clean gear.
Simul-climbing. Roosevelt Lake in background.
Note climbers in straw hats at bottom left
The climbing is nominally 5.6 but that's a stretch. A party passes us climbing solo (unroped). I'd be comfortable doing that. There's one part that involves traversing over a 1,500' vertical drop but the holds are bomber (as we say).
It's 1,500' straight down, so Rob is a little tense
My only problem is that it's windy and I get cold and shiver. Note to self: bring fleece next time. Rob climbs with no problems.
This is Eric's first outdoor climb, and quite understandably he feels a lot of anxiety. This translates into holding his breath, and he gets some dizziness and other symptoms. Neil picks up on this and coaches Eric: 'I'm not asking you - I'm TELLING you to breathe'. This works - Eric makes it to the summit with no incidents.
The summit is glorious as always. We sign the register. A recent entry is dedicated to the Rowells.
Neil is a second-generation guide
Leaving the summit. I left my climbing shoes on to cross the arete
On the descent, Neil insists on going all the way to the end of the plateau before going down the headwall. I strongly feel that the route that Rob and I use (which goes down the headwall almost immediately) is easier and shorter, but it doesn't matter.
Looking west from the bottom of the plateau. Odd rice-paddy lake.
The descent down to the flat part of the valley, as always, is the hardest part of the day, and the final trudge to the walk-in campground seems to take forever.
Mt. Dana looms in the background
A final barrier
Rob and I are done; Eric has one mile left
Eric gets a second wind and, making good on his promise, actually runs a mile from the campground up to Saddlebag lake, an impressive display of youthful energy.
We say goodbye to Neil, stop at Tioga Pass Resort for much-needed drinks, and drive home, stopping at the Mexican restaurant in Groveland (OK, but no patch on "Tekuila's" in Oakdale).
Nothing except all-over soreness.

"Kicking It Old School"
History of Gary, WV - Model Coal Mining Town
Gary, WV was once a wealthy thriving coal town in Southern West Virginia's rich bituminous coal fields.
Built in the early 20th century in the WV wilderness, Gary was built to be a model town by the United States Coal and Coke Company (USSC), a subsidiary of US Steel. The residences, businesses and churches were built with modern amenities including electric and running water.
Gary Hollow became the industrial powerhouse in Southern WV and had some of the most productive coal mines in WV. Gary and it's satellite towns employed thousands of miners. The work force was highly diverse with workers imported from all over the world, especially Eastern and Southern Europe and the deep south in the United States.
By mid-1940's, especially after World War II, things began to slip for USCC. Throughout the 50's-80's the steel industry was on a roller coaster of ups and downs. The need for coal and coal miners slipped until Gary's parent company decided that the operation was no longer profitable and pulled out completely in April, 1982.
Houses, stores, restaurants and recreation buildings that had been built by the coal company were closed down. The financial situation became bleak within Gary Hollow. Unemployment rate reached 90% and population dropped considerably as families and individuals who were able to leave left.
Abandon homes, businesses and schools are now just ruins of the golden years when Gary was the model town of prosperity. The few remaining residents have lived in a true economic depression for many years.
Old Gary High School/School For Life
The former Gary High School, built in 1914 by the USCC, has served for the past 15 years as a mission and outreach center that strives to bring hope and help to this devasted community. Efforts are now underway to convert a wing of the old school into rooms for ATV riders who have begun to ride through town on the old coal mine trails. Profits from this endeavor will go toward the mission and outreach programs while providing much needed employment in the community.

Isn't this the cutest "Put Me In the Zoo" Dress? See full tutorial at Shwin & Shwin.
PS. Made also sewed her own really cute PMItZ dress too!
wow! I was so surprised and totally flattered to see one of my projects on your page! Thanks so much for the link!
OMG - that is ADORABLE!!!


In brief: We've open sourced a tool that allows you to provide a callback every time your program performs an allocation. The Java Allocation Instrumenter can be found here. Give it a whirl, if you are interested.
The programmer has a task, and wants to know how much memory the task allocates, so wants to increment a counter on every allocation.
The programmer wants to keep a histogram of most frequently accessed call sites.
The programmer wants to prevent a task from allocating too much memory, so it keeps a counter on every allocation and throws an exception when the counter reaches a certain value.
Because of the demand for this, a few of us put together a tool that instruments your code and invokes a callback on every allocation. The Allocation Instrumenter is a Java agent written using the java.lang.instrument API and ASM. Each allocation in your Java program is instrumented; a user-defined callback is invoked on each allocation.
So, by my standards, it is really pretty easy to use. If you find it useful, please let me know!
Edited to add I noticed this on Twitter: Cool, even if it uses Ant (so probably I will never try it). This is funny, because I only added an ant buildfile so more people would try it. You can download the source and compile it with javac in about one line.
I get asked a lot about how the volatile keyword interacts with arrays, so it is probably worth a blog post on the subject.
Those of you who have read my posts on volatile (Volatile Fields and Synchronization, Volatile Does Not Mean Atomic and, most importantly, What Volatile Means in Java) will have a pretty good idea of what volatile means, but it is probably worth it to provide a reminder.
Basically, if you write to a volatile field, and then you have a later read that sees that write, then the actions that happened before that write are guaranteed to be ordered before and visible to the actions that happen after the read. In practice, what this means is that the compiler and the processor can't do any sneaky reordering to move actions that come before the write to after it, or actions that come after the write to before it. See my post on What Volatile Means in Java for more detail.
The first lesson to learn, which will guide us here, is that arr is a volatile reference to an array, not a reference to an array of volatile elements! As a result, the write to arr is not a volatile write. If you write to arr, you will get none of the ordering or visibility guarantees that you want from a volatile write.
What examples are there of a volatile write in the code above? Well, both of the writes to arr — the self-assignment and the write of new int[SIZE] — are volatile writes, because they are writing to arr, not one of its elements.
This one is easy. The volatile read is on the right hand side of the assignment statement.
This one is slightly more subtle. The volatile read is not the read of the array element. The right hand side of that assignment is a two step process. First, you read the array reference, then you read the 0th element of that array. The volatile read is the read of the array reference, not the read of the 0th element.
The previous example should give you a hint of where the volatile read is on this line. As in that example, the left-hand side is a two step process. First, you read the array reference, then you assign to the 0th element of that array. As odd as it seems, the read of the array reference is a volatile read.
The astute reader will notice that there is no actual way to get volatile write semantics by writing to an element of an array referenced by a volatile field. The easiest way to get volatile array semantics is to use the Atomic[Reference/Long/Integer]Array classes in java.util.concurrent.atomic, which provide volatile semantics for reads and writes of individual elements.
These classes are somewhat problematic, though. If nothing else, you are endlessly boxing and unboxing values, which may make access expensive. Ugh — I really do know better than this, really! As a result, there is more to this story.
// I wouldn't do this if I were you.
This definitely does provide the volatile write. However, what good does it do you? The virtue of a volatile write is that a corresponding read can detect that it happened, and do something based on the new value. For example, you can use a volatile flag to force one thread to loop indefinitely until another one sets the flag. In this case, you can't actually detect that another thread performed the write, because it is writing the same value to the variable.
You can use sun.misc.Unsafe to emulate the behavior of a volatile array. But not everyone is working on a Sun VM. And they are trying to discourage the adoption of sun.misc.Unsafe, so I'm not going to put the code here.
Don't despair too much, though — Doug Lea and the clever folks involved in JSR-166 are working on better solutions for Java 7. More news as events warrant.
Mailinator's Paul Tyma linked to me. If you are following from that link, the relevant blog entry you are looking for is probably this one, specifically, the entry labeled "visibility".

Girls who do not live with both parents more likely to start puberty early
New Kaiser Permanente study supports previous research suggesting link between early life family structure and onset of puberty
Girls who did not live in a 2-parent household from birth to age 2 were significantly more likely to start puberty earlier than girls who had both parents in their home, new Kaiser Permanente research shows.
The study, published October 28 in the journal BMC Pediatrics, adds to previous research showing a connection between whether one or both parents live in a household and timing of onset of puberty.
Ai Kubo, MPH, PhD, research scientist and epidemiologist, Division of Research.
"This study is a part of a series of studies we are conducting looking at early life risk factors that could contribute to early puberty," said the study's senior author Ai Kubo, MPH, PhD, a research scientist and epidemiologist at the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research. "If we can identify these risk factors, we can then talk about what we can do to reduce the risks of early puberty. This is important because early puberty is known to increase risk for various conditions, including cancer."
It is widely recognized that girls in the U.S. are reaching puberty at an earlier age than they did decades ago. A recent meta-analysis found the average age of onset of puberty decreased by about 3 months per decade from 1977 to 2013.
Early puberty concerns health care providers, researchers, and parents because it has been shown to increase a girl's short- and long-term health risks. For example, studies have found that early puberty is associated with an increased risk for mental and emotional problems such as depression, eating disorders, and substance use as well as risky sexual activities and underage pregnancy. As adults, girls who started puberty early are at increased risk for breast and uterine cancer; this is believed to be due to their longer duration of exposure to the female hormones that increase cancer risk.
The new study included 26,044 racially and ethnically diverse girls born at a Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) medical facility between 2003 and 2010. The researchers used the girls' electronic health records to learn whether a girl lived with both parents from birth to age 6 (the child's parent or caregiver is asked this question at about half of all KPNC well baby/child visits), the stage of her pubertal development, which pediatricians assess starting age 6, and whether the girl had begun menstruating.
Their analyses of these data found girls who did not live with both parents from birth to age 2 were 29% more likely to have earlier onset of breast development and 38% more likely to have begun menstruating before age 12, compared to the girls who lived with both parents. Girls who did not live with both parents from age 2 to age 6 were 13% more likely to have early breast development and 18% more likely to have begun menstruating before age 12.
If we can learn how family stress affects girls and puberty, we can intervene in ways that could lower their risk for cancer later."
Previous studies have found racial and ethnic differences in girls' age at the onset of puberty. In the new study, the association between not living with both parents and early puberty was strongest among Black girls. A 2013 study by some of Kubo's co-authors that looked at other aspects of puberty found the median age of breast development was 8.8 in Black girls, 9.3 in Hispanic and Latinx girls, and 9.7 in white girls.
Studies also have found that girls who are not raised with a biological father are more likely to start puberty early. Why the presence or absence of a biological father would influence the onset of a girl's puberty isn't well understood, but multiple hypotheses exist. One theory suggests that psychosocial circumstances, such as living with only one parent, which may lead to less stability and more stress, can trigger "a biological response that has the girl develop more quickly so she can reproduce faster to preserve her genes," said Kubo. "A second theory, based on pheromones, suggests that when the biological father is in the home, he secretes hormones that delay his daughter's development." This is believed to be an evolutionary development to prevent inbreeding.
In the new study, the researchers could not determine which parent was in the home. "We don't know if single-parenthood was by choice or due to divorce, or if other people lived in the household, like a grandparent, or boyfriend or if there were older siblings," said Kubo. "All of these factors can affect the stress levels of the household and having these details could help understand what might protect the girls from having earlier puberty."
Kubo intends to continue to study ways stress affects human health. "In this study, family intactness early in life is a surrogate for exposure to stress," she said. "If we can learn how family stress affects girls and puberty, we can intervene in ways that could lower their risk for cancer later."
This study was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Try and make out these words….!
You can get "frock", of course, but some of the others?
Hyderabad and Secunderabad are twin cities, and it amuses some Hyderabadis to refer to the other city as "Second" erabad!
But on this trip, I saw more of the heritage buildings of Secunderabad.
This was the first time I have seen a "kankAbhishEkam" performed before the person (OK, man!) actually turned 100; if you have seen a thousand full moons, or if you have seen the face of your son's son's son, you can have this celebration.
Did you figure out Hotel Hotship? Then….
That's a "five str" restaurant, because an "a" is missing!
I do love the art of "kOlam"….it's called "rangOli" in the north, but is executed very differently, and the designs are very different, too.
In south India, we have two ways of making kOlams; the wet (izhai kOlam) and dry (podi kOlam). I am reasonably good at both, but watched someone making the second type at a wedding, and thought I would document that.
Still trying to figure this name out.
Are they referring to the hot food available inside? Is it a variation of "hardship" that you might experience inside? How can they have a ship in a landlocked city?
Anyone who knows Hyderabad and knows about this place…let me know!
Those are with the MLC, and I did miss having the 20D…but I made do!
I *did* see a SHIKRA in the air above the Chiraan Fort , a beautiful, if rather scrappily maintained, heritage building where the actual celebration was held, and saw several PIED WAGTAILS on the lawns of the Secunderabad Club , but that…was about it!
ashbirder, I really missed meeting you..but a two-day visit with so much to do and several other friends to visit didn't leave me any time at all..you will understand if I say that we had to visit one friend in Tolli Chowk (I think that's how it's spelt) and then another in Dilsukh Nagar, then a third in Banjara Hills and another whom we could not visit at all, because we had to come home, pack and leave for the Kachiguda station ….
Why not the larger picture?
I had a long conversation with my daughter about blogging…and I was trying to articulate why I don't blog about politics, and major events…and I think that the reason is, whatever it is that I want to say, I find, is said, MUCH better and in far more effective fashion, by others who are far more articulate than I am.
For example, on Friday, the day I left for Hyderabad, there were a couple of major explosions and a series of less intense ones, in my city; they left two dead and several injured, and a city which seemed to wonder if it should go into a state of high panic, or carry on like Mumbai did.
I admire the way Bangalore HAS carried on, but am not so sure I am happy with the way we don't seem to be actively able to pin down or suppress terrorism in our city, and that terrorists seem to be able to strike at will, when and where they want to.
But all this has been analysed far better than I ever could; paragraphs have been written about it… this, for example …so what more can I, with my limited exposure, add to the analysis that would also add value? Nothing. All I can write is of my experience as we went to the station after the blasts…who would be interested in that? Meanwhile, my concern is for the families whose lives have been affected by the blasts, and how the tenor of their existence has changed irrevocably. I read that the husband of the lady who died in the Madivala explosion had just gone to the hospital and had been asked to get admitted; he and his wife were on their way home to get more money when the unimaginable, random tragedy happened, and he is still in NIMHANS, recovering from the shock. To me, the "face" of terrorism is the face of the bandaged man, lying on a hospital bed. I see the smaller details rather than the big scenario.
The same with politics…I do hate politics and horse-trading, and those who indulge in it, so why on earth write negative posts about these people and they way they hijack my country, and oppress the people, to serve their private ends? Unless I am willing to stand for election and change the system, what's the point of just cribbing?
In the small ways that I feel I *can* protest or do something to ensure change,yes, I do take action. But…the larger picture is not for me…there are others who are better at it.
But..not writing about something is not the same as not thinking about it.

Sacramento, Placer, Yolo Counties No Longer Recommend 14-Day Quarantine After Exposure
Chris Hagan
Tuesday, March 10, 2020 | Sacramento, CA
Sacramento County Health Director Dr. Peter Beilenson addresses reporters about coronavirus at the Sacramento County administration building on Sunday, March 8, 2020.
Andrew Nixon / CapRadio
Sacramento County announced Monday it no longer recommends a 14-day quarantine for people exposed to COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, according to new guidelines from the Department of Public Health.
"With the shift from containment to mitigation, it is no longer necessary for someone who has been in contact with someone with COVID-19 to quarantine for 14 days," the new guidelines read. "This applies to the general public, as well as health care workers and first responders. However, if they develop respiratory symptoms, they should stay home in order to protect those who are well."
What You Need To Know About Coronavirus In California
The county says the change is a shift from trying to contain the disease to protecting those who are most seriously at risk for this virus.
"We're recommending that those who are most at risk, the seniors and people with underlying conditions, avoid places of mass gatherings," said Dr. Peter Beilenson, director of health services for Sacramento County. "Avoid malls, avoid grocery stores as much as possible … They should buy two or three weeks of groceries at a time to keep the amount of time they have to go there at a minimum, and they should potentially go off hours."
The Sacramento Bee is reporting that one resident of the Carlton Senior Center in Elk Grove has tested positive for the virus. Sacramento County has 11 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including one person who has recovered.
Beilenson said the announcement doesn't mean the county is underestimating the impact of COVID-19.
"I understand there's a lot of concern, a lot of it driven by social media," he said. "For most people this is very much like a regular flu season in that 80% of people show they have no or mild symptoms with this illness."
Santa Clara County announced Monday that they are canceling mass gatherings such as sports games and conventions starting Wednesday. Officials noted that even healthy individuals should follow the guidance, as they might transmit the virus to vulnerable people.
Beilenson said that Sacramento has "not gone quite that far," and is instead focusing on keeping vulnerable populations including seniors away from places where transmission is likely.
"If there was a widespread outbreak of lots of sick folks, we might well consider shutting down gatherings but not at this point," he said.
California Could Soon Process 5,000 COVID-19 Tests A Day In Commercial Labs, Including One In Sacramento
Other California counties are likely to follow Santa Clara's lead, said Farrah McDaid Ting with the California State Association of Counties.
She says it's rare for health officials to restrict where individuals can and can't go. They gain that power only after declaring a public health emergency. Of California's 58 counties, 23 have made that declaration, she said, but no others have issued an order like Santa Clara's.
"In my 20-year career I haven't seen much," she said.
Beilenson said Sacramento County made the decision to shift to a mitigation strategy in conjunction with UC health systems and with neighboring counties. He said that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "has not been as timely as one would hope" in terms of changing guidelines.
Placer and Yolo counties jointly announced a similar plan Tuesday. While they aren't requiring a 14-day quarantine period, they do suggest that people who have been exposed and have symptoms stay home for 72 hours after symptoms resolve or seven days after symptoms began.
Yolo and Placer have eight combined cases. The first California COVID-19 death was a Placer County resident.
Adriane Casalotti with the National Association of County and City Health Officials says counties can make their own decisions about how to react to community spread of the virus, regardless of federal guidelines.
She says there are counties across the U.S. making similar decisions about containment, but Sacramento has been the most transparent about it.
"Every day it's more and more," she said. "But it's not an on/off switch, and it's not a binary choice. In a lot of ways it's a spectrum, and so folks are moving closer and closer to more of a mitigation lense as there's community spread in their area."
UC Davis infectious disease expert Dr. Dean Blumberg said recommendations from officials will change as they learn more about the virus and how it spreads.
"The quarantine recommendations are changing by the day as the virus gets out into the community, it's not feasible anymore to have people quarantined for so long periods," he said Tuesday on CapRadio's Insight with Beth Ruyak. "They need to be out and about and go about their business and it just doesn't make any sense anymore to have people have these strict quarantines."
He said that while that can be frustrating for both patients and clinicians, there are some basic things everyone should do, such as continuing to practice good hygiene and staying home when sick.
"We should be following routine public health advice for all infections, which is if you have a fever, if you're symptomatic, you shouldn't be exposing others and you should stay home," he said.
The symptoms of infection with the coronavirus are very similar to the symptoms of the flu. They include fever, a cough and shortness of breath, according to the CDC.
The vast majority of people who are infected with the coronavirus will experience mild symptoms or may even be asymptomatic, Blumberg previously told Insight.

This master thesis project takes place in the context of a European FP7 research project SEGRID focussing on the protection of smart grids against cyber-attacks. The project focusses on threat and vulnerability modelling tools, such as Cyber Security Modeling Language (CySeMoL). CySeMol was developed at the Royal Institute of Technology of Stokholm (KTH). Given an ICT system architecture CySeMol can generate various attack paths (a series of attack steps) that would potentially be possible to attack that architecture, and combines the conditional probabilities of attack steps into an aggregated expected likelihood of success for the whole attack path. CySeMol is currently targeted at employment during the design phase. Within the SEGRID project we will explore how we can extended the usages of CySeMol to security operations phase. For this we will need to generate a model of an existing ICT infrastructure.
Within the master project you will work on automatic model generation of an existing ICT infrastructure, by using information from different sources such as vulnerability scanners (e.g. nmap), configuration management system, intrusion detection systems, etc. In addition, you will investigate how a threat and vulnerability modelling tool, such as CySeMol, can be used to support security operations, including security monitoring, incident response, and threat intelligence management.
This department employs approximately 30 professionals who work on issues related to the security of IT networks, systems and smartphones to help our clients and associates take charge of their ICT security, detect fraud, review their architecture or develop a security design for new systems. The division works in two locations: Groningen and Delft.
You are working on a Master's degree on Information Science and you would like to work on ICT security.
You are familiar with information security, experience with programming and IP network technology.
You have good communication skills and you are creative and innovative. However, most important is your motivation to work in the cyber security field.

Marian Johnson: Donald Trump needs to get out white voters; Hillary Clinton, independent voters

The close presidential race in Florida offers two very different paths to victory for the candidates, with Donald Trump's campaign needing to bring out white voters and Hillary Clinton needing to appeal to independent voters, according to Florida Chamber of Commerce polling guru Marian Johnson.
Johnson laid out the latest findings of the chamber's political polling Thursday night at the Future of Florida Forum in Orlando, showing Democrat Clinton with a two-point lead overall in a Sept. 16 survey, a five-point improvement for her since an Aug. 16 poll.
The polling shows both candidates are enormously unpopular, but both getting 78 percent of their party base. They're fighting at this point over 6 percent of voters who declared they are undecided, said Johnson, the vice president for political operations for the Florida Chamber of Commerce.
Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson got 8 percent in the latest poll and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, 4 percent.
"This race is just too close to call," she said at the chamber's leadership banquet.
The two major candidates each have paths to victory, she said: Trump, who leads among white voters 51 to 34 percent, has to turn out white voters in the election. Clinton leads in almost every other demographic, but finds surprising strength among independent and third-party voters, leading Trump 45 to 25 percent in the chamber poll, she said.
But that does not include many young voters.
"There is no definitive direction. I can tell you Hillary is not getting the millennial vote. She is not going to get the millennial vote. They'll just undervote," Johnson said. "They don't interpret her as being sincere. She says the right things to them, but they are not interpreting her as sincere at all."
Chamber polling also showed voters down on both U.S. Senate candidates, Republican incumbent U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and his Democratic challenger U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, with both of them getting slightly more unfavorable than favorable ratings. Overall, Rubio holds a four-point advantage, 46 percent to 42 percent, and Johnson predicted Rubio would win, though she added that it is a race "that is probably going to go down to the wire too."
All Florida Constitution amendment issues on the ballot appear to be passing.
Amendment 1, dealing with solar energy, is getting 66 percent approval and just 18 percent disapproval. Amendment 2, medical marijuana, has 73 percent approval and 23 percent disapproval. Amendment 3, tax exemptions for disabled first responders, has 85 percent support. Constitutional changes need 60 percent of the vote to pass.
Johnson said there appears to be little change in the wind in the makeup of the Florida Senate and Florida House of Representatives. So many seats already have been decided, and so few are in play, she said. Republicans certainly will retain control of both houses.
Another finding of the polls indicates Floridians are feeling better about themselves and their futures. 39 percent now say they are better off than before and another 37 percent, "about the same." That means only 24 percent feel they are worse off, a strong improvement over recent years.
Gov. Rick Scott is benefiting from that, as voters now believe he's doing a good job. His job performance approval now is positive by 10 points, even though voters still do not like him personally, with a slight majority still having an unfavorable opinion of him.
