Three things strike me as I skirt the perimeter of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, site of the most recent school shooting — the eighteenth of 2018!
First, the strong showing of local law enforcement. Given the circumstances, their presence is understandable and appreciated.
Next, the sprawling memorial to the seventeen students and teachers shot and killed on February 14. The memorial is a spontaneous outpouring of grief and respect — a colorful wall of flowers, urns, candles, stuffed animals, balloons, flags and signs stretching the length of the fence to the school's entrance.
I talk with two students from a nearby high school. Like so many others, they've brought flowers to add to the growing tribute to those who lost their lives. They don't understand why anyone should be allowed to own an assault weapon. Given the heightened national discussion in the wake of the Parkland shooting, they now feel hopeful.
I ask Anna Fusco, President of the Broward Teachers Union, about assault weapons. There are many, many aspects to the debate about gun violence, including concerns about mental health, violence in the media, and the extent to which Americans have become isolated from each other and nature. To me, the most pressing issue, one of the problems we can and should fix immediately, is that nearly anyone can own an assault weapon — a weapon whose sole purpose is to kill as many people as quickly as possible.
Given the political clout of the NRA and the sad reality that the Republican Congress is its wholly owned subsidiary, it won't be an easy fight. Until Parkland, it seemed that too many Americans had grown numb to gun violence. But something has changed. There's momentum like never before, with a palpable shift in progress. Parkland students themselves, and the thousands of other students who have quickly coalesced into a national movement, may well bring this crisis to the tipping point where something meaningful finally gets done.
Because the only thing bought-and-paid-for politicians fear more than losing the financial backing of their biggest donors is losing the support of their constituents and being voted out of office. The polling on various gun control measures indicates an electorate increasingly ready for gun control. While we expect the NRA, Congress, and President Trump to continue to stonewall, it may no longer be possible for them to put the brakes on the momentum that's building.
Parkland students and a wide range of allied organizations have called for a massive, coast-to-coast mobilization on March 24, including a March for our Lives rally in Des Moines. It's important that all of us stand with them, even if we risk offending some friend or family member who has not yet grasped the urgent necessity for reform.
Yes, this is truly a historic moment. Think of the comparable points in time with Women's Suffrage, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and most recently marriage equality where the collective consciousness had evolved enough — through both hard work and tragedy — that a paradigm shift was inevitable. We may well be at that point with regards to gun violence, and it's important to keep pushing, and to push hard.
If by March 24 Congress has done nothing, I suggest the next step for this national mobilization be a general strike. It could start with students refusing to attend school until specific, significant changes are accomplished. If that happens, those of us who aren't students must be prepared to stand with them. A general strike is one of the most powerful social change tools available. But to work, it has to be broad-based with massive public buy-in — and it has to be well organized.
In the meantime, let's do all we can to encourage a huge turnout on March 24. In doing so, we not only honor those killed at Parkland and in other mass shootings, we honor our own children, and the children and families who will be spared the agony of losing a loved one to gun violence in the future.
For US Congress . . . Eddie Mauro!
Iowans living in the Third Congressional District are fortunate to have a talented field of candidates running in the Democratic Primary. But Eddie Mauro stands out as a genuine, authentic, caring person — the complete opposite of the bought-and-paid-for politicians running, and ruining, our state and our country.
I first met Eddie twenty years ago when I was bringing food, clothing, and other supplies to homeless men and women living along the Raccoon River. Eddie wasn't there for a photo op. I learned that day that he spends a lot of time serving our most disenfranchised population.
Eddie's commitment to help the homeless, the poor, and the downtrodden has persisted all these years. In fact, at two recent events for the homeless, Eddie was the only congressional candidate in attendance.
I'm passionate about a lot of issues, but none more than the urgent climate crisis. Eddie's position on climate change is not only the strongest among candidates running in the Third District, it's one of the strongest of any congressional candidate in the country! Check out Eddie's white paper on The Climate Crisis.
Eddie truly understands the urgent need for bold action on climate change and the importance of creating clean energy jobs as climate mitigation becomes a driver of economic development. His message on climate is one that resonates with both urban and rural Iowans.
Beyond the specific issues that Eddie champions (learn more here), I'm impressed with his authenticity and leadership skills. I'm impressed, too, with the campaign he's running. Frankly, Eddie is Iowa's best prospect to beat David Young in the fall.
That means a lot. Winning a tough primary in June means nothing if you can't win the general election in November. With the Third District listed as one of the pivotal congressional seats in the country, it's tremendously important that Democrats put forth their strongest champion.
With Eddie Mauro, we're fortunate that the strongest candidate to win is also the strongest candidate on the issues. Please join me in supporting Eddie. Let me know how you'd like to be involved. A grassroots campaign such as this requires ALL our voices and a whole lot of effort. Let's make it happen!
About twenty years ago, growth-management advocates across the US were shocked when the Tennessee General Assembly enacted one of the nation's strongest anti-urban sprawl bills. At the time, I was working on similar legislation in Iowa, so I traveled to Nashville to learn more.
That conversation provided solid insight into the mechanics of back-room politics, which occasionally, but only occasionally, benefit the common good. I've since learned, however, that you don't have to manufacture a crisis to accomplish something big. Sometimes, all you have to do is latch on to an existing one.
Such is the case with so-called "critical infrastructure sabotage" legislation (HSB 603 and SSB 3062) currently before the Iowa House and Senate. The proposal is backed by Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), the corporation behind the Dakota Access Pipeline.
ETP is fortunate not to have had to manufacture a crisis. Multiple acts of arson and vandalism against the pipeline in 2016 and 2017 provided the ostensible justification for this legislation, giving ETP the cover it needed to push for a bill that has nothing to do with sabotage and everything to do with silencing nonviolent dissent and influencing a historic Iowa court case.
1. Under Iowa law, arson and vandalism are already serious crimes. Remember Charles Willard, the man who torched a Catholic church in Stuart in 1995? He got 25 years — the same number of years prescribed in the proposed legislation. Further cracking down on arson and "sabotage" isn't necessary. The Iowa Code already has it covered.
2. The legislation could potentially apply the 25-year sentence, plus a fine of up to $100,000, to completely peaceful and nonviolent protesters who "cause a substantial interruption or impairment of service." ETP originally said oil would flow through its pipeline in the fall of 2016. Yet because of numerous delays, some caused by protesters, oil didn't begin to flow until June of 2017.
It's impossible to say how this legislation would be interpreted in a court of law, but ETP could argue that, given the delay, protesters caused an "interruption" of service and deserve the maximum fine and penalty. What a chilling effect that would have on the First Amendment!
3. This legislation legitimizes the Dakota Access Pipeline as "critical infrastructure." It lumps a privately owned oil pipeline in with genuine public infrastructure, including lines that transport electricity, gas, broadband service, water, and wastewater.
That's my biggest concern. More than anything, this legislation could be used to help defeat the lawsuit filed by nine landowners and the Iowa Sierra Club against the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) for granting ETP the authority to use eminent domain to take landowners' property by force to build the pipeline.
Of all the compelling arguments against the Dakota Access Pipeline, one of the strongest is that ETP is a private company merely transporting its product through Iowa. True public infrastructure is used by the people whose land it passes through. Whether it's a road, a gas line, telephone lines, or a water line, people living along the route are able to use that service or product. Not so with the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Its highly questionable status as critical public infrastructure is ETP's Achilles' heel. It knows this, and it hopes Iowans either haven't noticed or have stopped caring. If ETP can use its financial might to ram this legislation through quickly and quietly, it will effectively codify a private oil pipeline as a public necessity.
Even if you're not concerned about the Dakota Access Pipeline, you should be disturbed by the broader ramifications of SSB 3062 and HSB 603. And you should be interested in the landowner/Sierra Club lawsuit because if plaintiffs lose, all bets are off with how eminent domain could be used in the future.
Great question. Conservative or liberal, Iowans ought to oppose this legislation. It's a Trojan Horse that has nothing to do with sabotage.
It's about cracking down on peaceful protest.
It's about throwing open the doors to the abuse of eminent domain wider than ever before.
It's a slippery slope — greased with oil and campaign donations — that will only lead to further erosion of Iowans' property rights and put our land, water and climate at even greater risk.

Go Tom Brady! Yeah, I just had to get that out of the way. Across the country, people are turning up the heat on politicians and corporations intent on destroying our water, land, and planet for satiate their lust for power and money.
US Bank is one of them, and it'll be in the spotlight on Super Sunday when the Pats and Eagles tangle at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
The day before the Super Bowl — let's call it Super Saturday — pipeline fighters, Native leaders, and property-rights defenders from across the upper Midwest will converge in Minneapolis to turn up the heat on US Bank. I'll be there and, with cold weather forecast, will be wearing two hats. See photo on right. And see the release below for details about the action.
Bold Iowa and Indigenous Iowa will join a coalition of Native and non-Native organizations from across the upper Midwest this Saturday, February 3 at 12:30 at the headquarters of Minnesota 350.org at 2104 Stevens Ave in Minneapolis for a rally and action in advance of Sunday's Super Bowl game at US Bank Stadium. Native communities, farmers, landowners, and environmentalists fighting Energy Transfer Partners and the Dakota Access Pipeline are pressuring US Bank to stop financing oil pipelines.
Last year, Nation of Change published an informative article about the nuances in pipeline infrastructure financing. That article also contains links to the contracts between Energy Transfer Partners, US Bank, and other financial institutions providing capital to allow the Dakota Access and other pipelines to be built.
Indigenous Iowa was founded by Christine Nobiss, Plains Cree-Salteaux from the Gordon First Nation. She is a decolonizer and also works with Seeding Sovereignty. One of the main goals of Indigenous Iowa is to raise awareness about the devastating effects that oil, gas and coal have on our environment while simultaneously promoting the development and implementation of renewable energy. Indigenous Iowa's website is www.indigenousiowa.org.
Bold Iowa is an independent non-profit organization that addresses the climate crisis, opposes the misuse of eminent domain to expand fossil-fuel infrastructure and other private purposes, promotes individual and entrepreneurial efforts in renewable energy and energy conservation, and works to build a broad, urban/rural coalition. The organization's website is www.boldiowa.com.

Doctors Urge Americans to Get Flu Shots Amid Fears. Should Singaporeans Do The Same?
Doctors Urge Americans to Get Flu Shots Amid Fears Over Deadly Flu Strain. Should Singaporeans do the same?
By Sumathi Reddy
California has already seen several flu-related deaths. 'It does make me a little bit more nervous' about flu season, one expert says.
Excerpt140/140Excerpt140/140Excerpt140/140Excerpt140/140Excerpt140/140Doctors are urging Americans to get their flu shots right away after a bad flu season in Australia has raised concerns about the coming season in the U.S.
Public health experts often look to the Southern Hemisphere's influenza patterns for clues of what's to come. This year Australia saw an earlier-than-usual peak of flu cases and had a tough season overall. The predominant flu strain in Australia, as in recent years in the U.S., was the H3N2 virus, which generally causes more severe illness, particularly among the elderly, and more hospitalizations and deaths.
"It does lead you to believe that this H3N2 virus is definitely on the move and is changing, which is never a good situation," says pediatrician Randy Bergen, clinical lead for the Kaiser Permanente flu vaccine program in Northern California. "It does make me a little bit more nervous than I am in general looking ahead to the flu season."
He says so far weekly surveillance data still shows relatively small numbers of flu cases but there have already been several flu-related deaths in California, which is a concern.
The Australian flu season doesn't always predict the U.S. one. Last year, Australia had a mild flu season with several different influenza viruses circulating, whereas the U.S. had a very long season with a new H3N2 variant emerging, says Dan Jernigan, head of the influenza division at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The World Health Organization has added that new H3N2 variant into the vaccine used right now in the U.S. Creating the flu vaccine is an imprecise science because it's hard to know exactly which strains will circulate in the coming season, and the virus can mutate quickly.
But experts say that even if the flu vaccine doesn't exactly match the strains that circulate, it's still far better to get a flu shot than to skip it. It provides protection for various strains that often circulate together, and there's evidence that the vaccine lessens the duration and severity of the illness even if you do end up getting sick.
Most importantly, even an imperfect vaccine helps prevent the spread to others, including infants 6 months and under who can't get a flu shot. The most common side effects from the shot are soreness and tenderness or swelling at the site of injection, though muscle aches, headache, and low-grade fever can also occur. More serious side effects are very rare.
"For many people, even if it's not perfect, it will probably give them some protection or modify the course of the disease if they become infected," says Stephen Morse, a professor of epidemiology at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health.
The CDC recommends that everyone over 6 months old be vaccinated by the end of this month. It takes about two weeks to be protected by the vaccine and protection usually lasts up to a year in healthy adults, though it can wear off more quickly for the elderly.
For the 2018-19 flu season, only about 45% of adults and about 63% of children got vaccinated. The CDC estimates that between 36,000 and 61,000 people in the U.S. died from the flu.
Two recent studies presented earlier this month at IDWeek, an annual meeting of infectious-disease specialists, found that getting the flu vaccine reduced the severity of illness in adults by more than one-third and cut hospitalizations of children by half.
In one study, CDC researchers analyzed data from more than 40,000 patients hospitalized with influenza over the course of five flu seasons. They found that patients between 18- and 64-years-old who came down with the H1N1 strain of the flu despite getting vaccinated had a 36% lower risk of dying, a 34% lower risk of mechanical ventilation and a 19% lower risk of ICU admission than patients who didn't receive the vaccine.
Patients 65 and older who tested positive for the H1N1 flu strain despite vaccination had a nearly one-third less chance of ICU admission than those who didn't get the flu vaccine. There was no statistically significant difference in outcomes for patients with the H3N2 or B strains.
"Even though people who get vaccinated can still get sick there are a lot of bene

Bonaire is a small island located in the southern Caribbean. Caressed by blue Caribbean waters teeming with exotic marine life, Bonaire's 112 square miles of semi-desert landscape are home to an outstanding assortment of wildlife and flora. With a reputation of being laid back, slower paced and tranquil Bonaire offers more than just stunning sunsets and beaches. Bonaire serves up a visual feast of natural wonders, all sorts of activities, above and below water, along with quaint accommodations and restaurants.
Bonaire is ringed by a coral reef which is easily accessible from the shore along the Western and Southern sides. The entire coastline of the island has been declared a marine sanctuary, preserving local fish life since 1979. Its pioneering role in the preservation of nature, in particular the marine environment and for its excellent scuba diving, snorkeling, and windsurfing has made Bonaire a splendid vacation destination.
Bonaire's pristine reefs and diverse marine life are unique to the Caribbean. The reefs are very well preserved and support a truly amazing array of reef fish. The island's location gives it an arid climate with little rainfall. Consequently, the waters are exceptionally clear of silt, calm, and are great to dive year round.
Typically, the reefs start right at the water's edge and shelve off gently until the drop off. In very shallow waters there are encrusting coral formations, which grow close the bottom to avoid wave action. On the reef terrace, you will find amazing stands of elkhorn and staghorn coral, often with fire coral, patch reefs, and dense stands of soft corals. The drop starts at 10-12 m and may have an abundance of soft corals and beautiful colored sponges as well as byzantine stands of mountainous star coral interspersed with clouds of radiant fish.
Bonaire offers several excellent dive operators who cater to divers. If you want a land based opportunity to eat, sleep and dive this is the place. Most places offer unlimited shore diving and discretionary boat-diving opportunities.


Extrovert and introvert aren't synonyms for gregarious and shy. Instead, they indicate whether we tend be energized through interacting with other people or through solitude.
Extroversion and introversion aren't either/or. Very few people are all extroverted or all introverted; most lie somewhere along a continuum. Unless we understand this, we risk sterotyping people when they self-identify as extroverts or introverts.
Extroverts and introverts aren't at war with each other.
I want to emphasize the last point.
When introverts increase their participation and become more comfortable in leadership roles, it doesn't mean the extroverts will get pushed out of the way. Instead, it means that everyone on the team benefits from having more participants and better leaders.
When introverts learn how to thrive on a team full of extroverts, it makes the team stronger. If the extroverts have been frustrated by working with the introverts (like Jesse was), their frustration actually dissipates.
The world of business is big enough for both extroverts and introverts, for people on every point along the continuum. We shouldn't try to compete with each other. Instead we should reach across the divide: seeking to understand each other and appreciating each other's strengths. In the end everyone works more effectively.
What do you think? Have you tried to reach across the extrovert/introvert divide? If so, what happened?

This cotton-rich chunky knit with chenille trim is perfect for the big chill. A lovely longline cut, it's the perfect cuddly partner with leggings, jeans and boots. Cosy never looked - or felt - so good.
Ich wusste nicht, wie ich den Kragen nun drapieren soll, damit es stimmt. Das Material ist gut, aber ich würde es nicht Chenille nennen. Insgesamt ist der Pullover etwas zu klein und man sollte tatsächlich eine Nummer größer nehmen.
U would recommend this product to a friend.
I bought this in the sale and am very pleased with it. However it is nowhere near as long as it appears on the model, either in the body or the sleeves so does not have the tunic look that you would imagine. 1 am 5ft11in so clearly the model is not tall by LTS standards. I would suggest using taller models for the Karl Lagerfeld collection as it quite misleading.
A bit shorter than it looked in the picture.
Doesn't fit me! Had to return it!
tamara would recommend this product to a friend.
Very nice sweater, but as the first person stated. The arms were way too short in length. I still like the sweater, but sadly I need to wear it as a 3/4 length sleeve instead of what I was really looking forward too. Please be more consistent Karl collection.
I ordered a medium but the sleeves are too short, huh? Long Tall Sally, why sell this sweater in a tall store?! I'm still waiting for my return label but nothing has arrived yet as I was promised.
Cherilyn would recommend this product to a friend.
This sweater is lovely! Don't be fooled by the description (27") it is low hip like the model, lays well, beautiful button detail and a nice thick weight fabric. I ordered the black. It has very long sleeves and will be extremely versatile. I find KL usually runs small and ordered up a size so it would be loose. I love the fit and probably would have been happy with my regular size as well.
ND would recommend this product to a friend.
I ordered the black and white one, but only kept the black. The white is more of a cream color and didn't look as nice. The buttons on the white sweater looked like they were about to fall off. Maybe others will like it. The feel and quality look of the black sweater is excellent. The buttons were also on tighter. I find KL clothes to be true to size when compared to other shirts and sweaters on this site. (Even though it says it is a smaller fit) I like the body and arm length.
Aubrie would recommend this product to a friend.
Wonderful for winter and great look!
This sweater is quite long, very warm and heavy material, but flows nicely. I purchased the black color. It fits very nicely through should and torso, with long arms to keep you warm in the winter. The photo does not do it justice at all and is much prettier in person. If you want to have it a bit looser, go up a size. It is very comfortable and is a very heavy sweater if you want style and warmth!
Vicki22 would recommend this product to a friend.
Are you still selling to tall women!!
Lovely looking jumper, but I fail to understand how 28" is considered longline on a site for tall women! In t-shirts etc it is fine, but this jumper is falling on the leg. Are the measurements shown correct? If so, why show a short model wearing this. Would like to order but can't see the point re the contradiction in length.
NessieDipper would recommend this product to a friend.
Longline? I don't think so!
You describe this sweater as 'longline' and yet according to the description measures 27 inches in length. This is not longline for a tall person! I don't know how tall your model is (not particularly) but I am glad I did not order it on the basis of the photograph.

Bill Would Deny Contracts For Poor Labor Records
By David M. Nadler and Kendrick C. Fong
Recently, several controversial provisions were introduced by legislators to Congress that would allow the secretary of labor to deny federal contracts and grants to companies with a history of violating federal labor laws.
The principal piece of proposed legislation, titled the Federal Procurement and Assistance Integrity Act, has been referred to various house committees and subcommittees, including the government technology panel of the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight.
This bill, which has been hotly contested by industry, would clarify existing law by giving the Department of Labor the authority to debar and suspend companies from receiving federal contracts or grants if they have a clear pattern or practice of violating the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and various veterans' preference laws. Although federal agencies already have the authority to suspend and debar companies based on violations of law, the proposed provisions are intended to add bite to existing law and increase the Department of Labor's role in policing violators.
The Federal Procurement and Assistance Integrity Act builds upon the efforts of former Sen. Paul Simon (D-Ill.), who commissioned a General Accounting Office report in 1995 that concluded that contractors with histories of labor law violations received as much as 13 percent of federal contracts. In 1996, a second GAO report concluded that 261 contractors that were each assessed fines of at least $15,000 for health and safety violations received more than 20 percent of the $176 billion in federal contracts awarded in 1994.
In addition to the Federal Procurement and Assistance Integrity Act, the Clinton administration also has proposed regulatory changes to ensure that federal contractors have satisfactory records of compliance with labor laws, including those involving wages, benefits, equal opportunity, collective bargaining, and health and safety.
These provisions are controversial for a number of reasons.
First, the proposed laws would authorize the secretary of labor to debar or suspend "a person from [federal] procurement activities or nonprocurement activities upon a finding" that the person violated labor laws. The proposed laws, however, do not require any final administrative or judicial disposition before a "finding" can be made. In addition, industry also has complained that the proposed provisions fail to prescribe even minimal standards of due process before a "finding" is issued and suspension or debarment occurs.
Recently, an industry official gave an illustration of abuses that could result from the proposed provisions. For instance, nothing in the proposed rules would preclude a former employee who subsequently joins a union from returning to the former employer with voluminous requests for records during a "salting" campaign. In a salting campaign, unions send their agents into nonunion workplaces under the guise of seeking employment and organizing workers. In recent years, salting has become an instrument of economic destruction aimed at nonunion companies. Hiding behind the shield of the NLRA, salts often try to destroy employers through various actions that harass or disrupt company operations, including frivolous discrimination complaints.
The consequences of such "salting" can be devastating to companies, particularly small businesses. These actions often lead to increased record-keeping requirements under OSHA, and, depending on the extent of harassment, may significantly increase a contractor's chance to be found in violation of a mere paperwork requirement. Under the proposed rules, a series of mere paperwork violations can eliminate a company from federal contracting.
Another concern that has stirred industry about the proposed provisions is that federal procurement officers would be required to understand labor laws, including the NLRA, OSHA and FLSA. In addition to understanding myriad existing procurement laws, contracting officers would be required to evaluate a contractor's past performance records to eliminate from procurements any companies with "unsatisfactory" labor records. Indeed, a mere record-keeping paperwork violation may be a stigma against a contractor for participating in government work. This major change in labor law could arguably preclude any contractor who has allegedly violated NLRA, OSHA or FLSA from competing for federal work.

The CEO leaned forward in his chair. Our food hadn't even arrived and we were already deep into conversation.
I've been in these types of conversations countless times over the last ten years and, especially, since Google's updates wreaked havoc on many.
And, I know what often came next. A blood bath. Budget cuts. Marketing people getting axed. But, the problem wasn't the people or the budget or the tools. It was something else.
The waiter, sensing a deep conversation in progress, lightly set our food down on the table attempting not to disturb us.
"We have to shift your focus to the WHO… and instead of marketing to a problem which ANYONE could have we have to focus on the people who have those problems. I know it sounds like splitting hairs but it makes a HUGE difference." I answered.
I knew I had to tread lightly here (sometimes I have a tendency to be too blunt… even for Executives).
We're now in the process of building out these funnels and, while it does take some time and upfront investment in specific content, it doesn't require a major investment – especially if you consider the payoff.
The upfront content, aka 'Lead Magnets', need to be geared specifically and ONLY for the personas (the WHO). The Lead Magnet brings them into the persona specific funnel which drives them to a specific goal: Trial Offer, Lead Form, A Sale, a Phone Call, etc.
With this setup, optimization of the funnel can provide huge gains because any insights you gain and test on the funnel have the best chance of applying to a significant percentage of the people in the funnel! This isn't true of a general funnel.
If you don't do it this way your optimization process will be confusing and essentially grasping at straws. Analysts will look at pages and essentially GUESS what to test and see only moderate increases in conversion.
But, if you connect and focus on personas and build specific content and funnels for them then their feedback, specific problems and benefits provide more than enough ideas and insights to create truly meaningful tests. Those tests can turn into a real boost in sales.

Connected vehicle trials get big backing from USDOT

New York City's CV pilot will see four avenues of the Manhattan grid equipped with V2i infrastructure.
Connected vehicle technology will emerge as a sustainable reality at three sites in the US over the next four years. Jon Masters reports.
Advocates of connected vehicle (CV) technology have received a welcome boost from news that the US government has committed a further $4 billion towards automated vehicle research and CV technology. This comes hot on the heels of the US Department of Transportation's $42 million CV pilot pledge in October last year.
While the latest $4 billion is a long-term figure for use across a wide range of research and development subjects, USDOT's October 2015 announcement confirmed the award of $42 million in grants for three CV pilot projects. Bidders from New York City, Wyoming and Tampa in Florida had been chosen to develop the first CV applications that will operate at street level.
The US appears to have stolen a march on the rest of the world with its federally funded, government-led efforts to develop CV technology. Engineering teams attached to authorities at each pilot site are in the 'concept development' phase, which is expected to take about a year and will be followed by design, deployment and testing (about 20 months) culminating in around 18 months of operation and maintenance.
By that time the CV applications should be up and running, support from USDOT will end and the pilot teams will be on their own. In reality, however, by that stage – around four years from now – a number of other transportation authorities may be developing their own CV projects and a new sector of ITS industry expertise will be maturing.
For now, USDOT is providing significant engineering support to ensure the teams avoid pitfalls in certain key areas during concept development. Support material makes it clear that while all three sites can consider themselves successful in getting this far, each has to demonstrate they're ready for phases two and three.
"Funding decisions for later phases are dependent on the strength of conceptual development at each individual site," says Kate Hartman, CV pilots programme manager for USDOT's ITS Joint Program Office (JPO).
The I-80 in Wyoming experiences heavy freight traffic and is subject to poor weather conditions
The JPO also makes clear that the pilot sites have just this year to get key plans and tasks of concept development finished on time and within budget. They're being actively encouraged to engage regularly with a network of USDOT support staff and each other.
A series of advisory webinars was held in December 2015, in association with ITS America. The first of these, on preparing a safety management plan, was presented by John Harding, ITS research specialist for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Developing a safety management plan will be very involved for each of the pilot sites, requiring consideration of safety scenarios through a risk assessment approach on the way to producing a 'safety operational concept'.
"The principle is safety through design, from the very start and with ongoing safety management," Harding says. "One important piece of advice is to involve a group of people with different knowledge relevant to the particular site and pilot project. That way, all of the scenarios that could possibly happen can be identified and addressed."
In another webinar in the series, NHTSA's program manager Kevin Gay described the essential requirements for developing security operational concepts. Each deployment site will be drawing up how they intend to manage physical, access and communications security. All are important in any security concept, but the last of these is particularly crucial, through adoption of a security certificate management system or SCMS, says Gay.
"All messages from infrastructure and vehicle must be trusted as bonafide and accurate for the system to work. Messages need proven authenticity and integrity and have to be proven without compromising privacy. We've designed an outline system that meets all of these requirements," he adds.
Tampa's CV pilot aims to tackle peak hour congestion.
Essentially the infrastructure and vehicles will generate public and private 'key pairs' which will be sent to a certification authority. This will generate and send a certificate to allow the device to authenticate messages. Gay also described a process of bootstrapping for enrolling and authenticating all new vehicles and devices into CV systems via an SCMS.
"There are other ways of doing bootstrapping. It's possible for vehicles and devices to request and generate certificates themselves but this requires a high level of sophistication and expertise. USDOT will need to authenticate devices' and vehicles' participation in the pilots. At present we're supporting a central SCMS approach," Gay says. The first functional SCMS is expected to be released for testing imminently, with further versions to follow in March and June.
The third webinar focused on the institutional and financial issues of CV technology in operation to ensure systems have a valid and sustainable business case and can be operated through successful partnerships.
"We are now taking CV research into deployment in the marketplace," says Brian Cronin, ITS JPO team leader for research and development. "We want to spur the industry to produce products and services that support this initiative.
"We want to measure the benefits – safety, mobility and environmental – and resolve any technical, financial and institutional difficulties. We want to work with the pilot sites to make sure the technology can be advanced and make the business case for CV technology to be deployed nationwide by all transport authorities."
The USDOT programme of technical support continues, and past and future webinars will be made available on the ITS JPO website.
New York City's CV pilot project will see vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) technology installed in city-owned cars, buses and trucks and other controlled fleets. Up to 10,000 vehicles could be equipped according to the New York Department of Transportation.
Three road corridors will be equipped with V2I infrastructure: four avenues of the Manhattan grid between 14th and 67th streets; FDR Drive on the outskirts of Manhattan; and Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn.
The objectives are closely aligned with NYC's Vision Zero initiative for reducing pedestrian injuries and fatalities and making the city's streets safer for all travellers. CV applications planned for the pilot include automatic warning of red light violation, 'pedestrian on crosswalk' and 'vehicle turning right in front'.
Other proposed applications include a Mobile Accessible Pedestrian Signal System (providing automatic communication between traffic signals and visually impaired pedestrians) and a system providing dynamic information to commercial fleets to improving freight movements through the city.
Tampa's CV pilot is centred on the city's CV technology test bed and will focus on tackling peak hour traffic congestion, improving traffic flow and pedestrian safety. Tampa will also measure the environmental benefits of using CV technology.
The project, which is being led by the Tampa-Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA), will deploy a variety of connected vehicle technologies within the vicinity of the Selmon Expressway where it snakes across central Tampa. This area contains a number of junctions between the expressway and the surrounding road network with high pedestrian densities and variable traffic demand.
Drivers experience significant delays during peak periods, and there are a large number of rear-end crashes and red light running collisions. The area is also prone to signal coordination issues.
The main aim of the THEA pilot deployment is to alleviate congestion and safety issues during the morning peak. A variety of V2V and V2I applications are proposed, including (V2I) curve speed warning, pedestrian on signalised crosswalk and mobile accessible pedestrian signal. Intelligent traffic signal and transit priority systems will be deployed at a number of intersections on the city's street grid.
V2V safety applications to be piloted are emergency electronic brake light, forward collision warning, intersection movement assist and vehicle turning in front of a bus.
Wyoming's CV pilot aims to improve the safety and efficiency of freight traffic along the I-80 corridor - a critical east-west carrying up to 8,000 heavy goods vehicles a day - 50% of the traffic on the road. Some 650km (400 miles) in length and rising to over 2,630m (8,640ft) above sea level, the I-80 corridor is particularly susceptible to winter weather - typically ice, snow, poor visibility and high wind. More than 3,400 high-wind crashes were reported between 2002 and 2012.
The Wyoming CV pilot will use V2V and V2I connectivity to send traffic and weather related information to equipped fleets or via data connections to fleet management centres. Applications will include road weather advisories and warnings for motorists and freight carriers, a weather-responsive variable speed limit system and freight-specific dynamic travel planning.
Wyoming DOT will conduct the pilot in three phases, the first of which will expand the deployment concepts

Resourceful Students Create own Costumes for Halloween
Cat Tacopina November 11, 2012
It's Tuesday, Oct. 30, and fourth-year radio and production major Joe Neggie is sitting on the floor of his apartment with a white T-shirt, peanut butter, corn syrup, red food dye and a pair of scissors.
Tomorrow, he said, he's going to be "tiger lunch."
"My girlfriend and I wanted to do one of those couples costume things this year," Neggie said. "She's going to be a tiger and I'm going to be the guy who got mauled by a tiger. I think this whole thing cost me maybe $10."
Due to low budgets and the arrival of Hurricane Sandy, SUNY New Paltz students said coming up with the perfect Halloween Costume proved to be more difficult in 2012 than before. With popular costumes ranging between $30-$120, many students decided it was time to get creative, recycle old costumes and/or revisit their childhood.
Ryan Hanrahan, a fourth-year radio and TV production major, was surprised after going home and seeing his childhood boy scout uniform still managed to fit. Because he's been tight on money and Halloween is only once a year, he said the uniform was an opportunity for him to get creative with his Halloween costume.
"Why spend a ton of money on a costume that you're only going to wear for one or two days of the year and then never use again? You can get really creative and original with things that are uniquely yours," Hanrahan said.
While he said he didn't believe many people would go out as a boy scout, Hanrahan said he didn't want to stop his costume just there. With the help of some face paint and fake blood, and a love for zombie flicks, he said he had come up with a costume "nobody else" was going to have on.
"Zombie Boy Scout," Hanrahan said. "I think it's something that sets me apart from all of the other zombies roaming the streets of New Paltz on Halloween."
While low finances played a role in students' choice of Halloween costume, Hurricane Sandy's arrival in the Hudson Valley made an impact on student decision as well.
Fourth-year creative writing major Carolyn Quimby said she originally wanted to go to a Halloween store in Poughkeepsie to find a costume, but fear of the storm's impact kept her from venturing out.
"It looked awful out there and all we kept hearing was how dangerous it would be to go outside," Quimby said. "I originally wanted to find something at the Halloween Shop, but it looks like I'll be looking for something at home. I probably would have spent more than I would have wanted to on an actual costume, so this is probably for the best."
According to an article published by Time Entertainment, the heroine of 2012's box-office monster The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen, was polled to be one of the most desired and used costumes this Halloween. While this was her costume of choice, third-year photography major Robin Weinstein said prices for an authentic costume were too much and would easily "put a dent in the back."
"The shirt alone for the costume I wanted in the size that I wear was $70 alone," Weinstein said. "Not only that, but the backpack she uses throughout the movie is $50. Even if I were going to wear it for years to come, there's no way I can spend that much money and not feel awful about it."
So, if she couldn't find a Katniss costume that was decently priced, she was going to make one of her own instead.
"It's such a simple costume," she said. "All you need is a pair of black pants, a black shirt and a Mockingjay pin. The books and the movie are popular, so it's not like I really have to explain it to people."
In the end, Weinstein paid a small price to become Katniss Everdeen.
"It was just over $20," Weinstein said. "If I had spent the money on the real thing, I would have spent $100 more."

According to the Ministry of the Interior, the reception centers for asylum seekers (Centri di accoglienza per richiedenti asilo, CARA) are structures where aliens, without identity documents or who tried to avoid the border control, are sent and hosted: such a measure should allow their identification or the definition of the procedure for the recognition of refugee status. The centers host asylum seekers, that is people fleeing from wars and persecutions, and therefore represent their first approach with Italian state, in which they seek protection: regrettably they are confined in these enormous structures, located in remote areas and far from city centers (for example in former barracks or abandoned military airports) for a time almost regularly exceeding the twenty/thirty-five days that are in accordance with the law. How is it possible to conciliate the need to provide emergency reception to a high number of people and the request for protection and qualified welcome which is due to every human being, particularly to potential and mostly vulnerable refugees?

In a notary office, we can find :
- a notary clerks
- legal secretaries
- trainee notaries (doing an internship)
- apprentices
- accountants (comptable)
- law professors
Include various members : teaching assistants, senior lecturers (also called assistant professor, associate professor or adjunct professors = depending of the country), full professors.
- Other law-related professions
Lew clerks (clair de notaire) : they keep records, they undertake routine administrative tasks such as research, documentation, carry out legal writing. They may work at government, agencies (in charge of public service), estate agents, in private companies, at tribunals (greffier).
In the US clerks are also called legal assistants or paralegals.
Some false friends in English :
- Avocat/advocate :
In some jurisdiction, advocate means lawyer.
In Canada there is a distinction between common law advocates (sometimes the word lawyer is used) and civil law advocates. Both use the term barristers and solicitor.
In India the world advocate is used, the world lawyer is felt to be colloquial (familier).
Countries in which the term advocate is used with the meaning barrister : Scotland, South Africa, Scandinavia, Pakistan, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
- Magistrat/Magistrate
In French a "magistrat" is either a judge or a prosecutor. Magistrat is under civil law systems (like in Italy and Belgium).
In English the magistrate means Justice of the Peace, or judge employed by the ministry of justice; they deal with minor offences. They can only sentence for 6 months in prison for one offence and 12 months consecutively. And the maximum fine they can give is £5,000.
In the US, the word magistrate refers to any independent judge or judicial officer. They generally deal with minor offences.
In India, magistrates may judge criminal offences.
In china, the word is used in reference to a head of a county, of a region, it's an administrative title.
In Australia, magistrates deal with cases previously heard by federal court in matters involving administrative law, bankruptcy, consumer protection, trade practices, human rights, copyrights, family law (divorce, custody = la garde des enfants, contact of the children, property division upon divorce).
To translate in English the word "magistrat" all depend of the context.
- Juriste/Jurist
In France and in the US, "juriste" means anyone with a degree in law. Holding a degree in law, in France, enables to counsel clients. In the US, the term jurist is likely to be understood as judge.
In the UK, jurist means expert in law.
Chapter 3 : the UK constitution
Based on several sources include :
- Acts of Parliament
- Treaties
- EU law
- Common law
- Conventions
- Works of authority
In 2004, there was a Joint Committee decided that "the fundamental parts of constitutional law could be taken to include the following statutes":
- Magna Carta 1215 : the oldest source of the UK Constitution. It's in Latin and its means great charter. The 1297 version is the one that has remained in statute books of England and Wales.
- The life Peerage Act 1958 : establish the fact that certain member of the House of Lords are members for life.
- 1998 and 1999 Acts regarding devolution in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
- The European Communities Act 1972 : decided that the European Community was part of the constitution.
- Ministerial and Other Salaries Acts 1975
Sources of the UK constitution :
- Magna Carta
Foresters were very important in English law at the time of Magna Carta until the 17th century. Protecting venison which belonged to the king by royal prerogative.
The world forest also designated heath, grassland, and wetland. It was the king who chose his hunting grounds. Forest law = a whole branch of law in itself.
It prescribed harsh punishments towards those who committed offenses within the forest. It also applied to villages which happened to be located within these areas.
Forest law fueled resentment as it was felt that land was confiscated by the king for the benefit of the aristocracy.
Forests were extremely unpopular -> gave rise to Robin Hood legend who was a hero and an outlaw defying the existing order, which was perceived as tyrannical (tyranny being the abuse of power).
The full title of Magna Carta is "The Great Charter of the Liberties of England and of the Liberties of the Forest".
The city of London has had uncommon responsibilities such as policing. It is a local authority which exercises its control over about one Square mile. It is run by the City of London Corporation, which has been in existence since the middle ages, although there no evidence left of the establishing of the corporation as a legal body.
Around 1067, William the Conqueror gave citizens of London a charter confirming their rights. Administrations and justice were conducted at the Court of Husting. The Court of Aldermen for non-judicial matters. The city of London still exists and counts 9,000. Lord Mayor of London, the sheriff and other officers are chosen by a special electorate called the Common Hall.

Professor Ken Houk co-authors new organic chemistry textbook
Organic chemistry professor Ken Houk is co-author of a newly released textbook titled "Organic Chemistry: Theory, Reactivity and Mechanisms in Modern Synthesis".
Houk's co-author is Professor Pierre Vogel of the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. The foreword for the book was written by Nobel Laureate Professor Robert Grubbs of the California Institute of Technology.
"Pierre and I have been friends for years.He is a renaissance chemist, expert in physical organic chemistry, catalysis and natural product total synthesis as well," Houk said. "He was the prime mover and author of the book, that began about 15 years ago. I visited Lausanne several times to work with him on the book and to visit and enjoy his family winemaking business, too! Chapters were sent back and forth between Lausanne and Los Angeles numerous times to make them as perfect as we could, for graduate students and advanced researchers, too."
According to the publisher's website, the textbook is "the know-how about reactivity, reaction mechanisms, thermodynamics and other basics in physical organic chemistry is the key for successful organic reactions. This textbook presents comprehensively this knowledge to the student and to the researcher, too." The release of the book was announced at the American Chemical Society (ACS) meeting in San Diego this August.
"Written by two international highly renowned experts, this textbook is not only a resource for graduate students, Ph.D. students and postdocs, but also for chemists and chemical engineers who develop new reactions and procedures," the promotional flier for the textbook states.
UCLA's Saul Winstein Professor of Organic Chemistry, Houk is an authority on theoretical and computational organic chemistry. His group develops rules to understand reactivity, computationally models complex organic reactions, and experimentally tests the predictions of theory. He collaborates prodigiously with chemists all over the world. Houk has published nearly 1250 articles in refereed journals and is among the 100 most-cited chemists, but this book is his first published textbook.

It is very important to avoid drinking out of a straw after you have a tooth pulled. Anything with suction like rinsing your mouth vigorously or smoking can interrupt the healing process.
When a tooth is extracted a socket is what is left behind. The socket fills with a blot clot, the blood clot stays in place until the jaw bone and gums reform. If any type of suction pulls the blood clot out of the socket, the jaw bone would be exposed to the air. This is called a dry socket. Dry sockets are extremely painful.
If post op instructions given by the Dr. are followed, the risk of a dry socket is minimal. Avoiding straws, hard or crunchy foods, smoking and irritation of the area are important in a quick healing process. Any prolong bleeding or pain should be made aware to your Dr. Post op appointments are sometimes required.
We would love to answer any questions or concerns reguarding this matter. Please give Becky a call.
