According to the New York Police Department, there were 7,456 motor vehicle accidents in June 2020 alone–at a time when the entire city remained largely shut down in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Regardless of the shutdown, 2,644 people were injured or killed in traffic accidents in a single month. Bicyclists and pedestrians were far more likely to be injured, as illustrated by the following statistics:
1,581 motorists were injured, out of 14,690 motorists involved in crashes
951 vehicle passengers were injured, out of 956 passengers involved
580 bicyclists were injured, out of 581 bicyclists involved in accidents
399 pedestrians were injured, out of 408 pedestrians involved in accidents
By way of comparison, when the city was operating normally in June 2019, the NYPD reported 19,356 motor vehicle accidents citywide. 4,180 of those crashes caused injuries or fatalities.
These statistics are startling. They also show that driver negligence causes most NYC car accidents whether the city is bustling or relatively quiet. The primary causes of New York City car accidents in both June 2020 and June 2019 were distracted driving and "following too closely".
NYPD data provides a monthly statistical analysis of the most common causes of NYC car accidents. Some of the common causes of NYC car accidents for June 2020 include:
Driver distraction (2,127 crashes)
Following too closely (577 crashes)
Failure to yield the right of way (484 crashes)
Improper passing or lane usage (311 crashes)
Speeding (293 crashes)
Drunk driving or illegal drug use (138 crashes)
In June 2019, the highest number of accidents (6,245) involved driver distraction and 2,226 accidents involved following too closely (tailgating).
NYPD attributes only a handful of auto accidents to cell phone use each month. However, it's likely that the use of smartphones and other devices contributes significantly to "driver distraction" as the leading cause of accidents.
If you were hurt in a crash, it is important to understand that New York is a no-fault insurance state. That means your own car insurance policy reimburses you for medical bills and damage even if someone else caused the accident. Unfortunately, most NYC car insurance policies have limits in place so that your own insurance is unlikely to cover the full cost of a serious injury.
Preliminary reports for 2019 show that 42,446 NYC car accidents resulted in personal injuries that were reported to law enforcement officials.
That statistic includes accidents in Kings County, Bronx County, New York County, Queens County and Richmond County. 2,575 of those injuries were classified as "serious"–and nearly 5,000 more were classified as moderately serious.
Victims of serious car accidents in New York City often sustain:
Spinal cord damage
Serious head and neck injuries
Organ damage
Chest injuries
While NYC car accident victims most commonly suffered only minor injuries in 2019, even minor injuries can be expensive to treat. Whiplash, for example, is commonly classified as a minor injury at the time of the accident. Unfortunately, whiplash injuries tend to progress over time and can impact your life for months or years.
Whether your injuries are classified as serious, moderate or minor for statistical purposes, you may have the right to financial compensation. When someone else's negligence caused your accident, New York law gives you the right to hold them responsible–especially if your own car insurance is insufficient to cover the damages.
At Rosenbaum & Rosenbaum, P.C., our personal injury attorneys are here to help. If you have questions about your rights after a NYC motor vehicle collision, call our law firm to schedule a free consultation today.
The New York Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research has released preliminary data for 2019 car accident fatality rates. Over 200 people died in fatal accidents in 2019.
Unfortunately, the fatality rate increased dramatically when the crash did not involve two motor vehicles. Bicyclists, pedestrians and even motorcyclists are always more vulnerable to the most serious car crash injuries.
According to the 2019 data:
118 fatalities involved pedestrian/motor vehicle crashes
25 fatalities involved bicycle/motor vehicle crashes
23 fatalities were motorcycle crash victims
While helmet use and other safety precautions can greatly reduce the risk of fatalities for bicyclists and motorcyclists, the risk of serious injury and death remains.
If you lost your loved one in a NYC car accident, our lawyers can help you pursue your right to compensation for wrongful death. You may have the right to get compensation for your loved one's medical bills, funeral and burial costs. Wrongful death damages also include compensation for your loss more generally, such as:

L-G asks DDA, Delhi Police to join anti-dengue drive
New Delhi, Sep 6 : The Delhi government on Friday said Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal has directed the DDA and the Delhi Police to join the city government's anti-dengue campaign, on the request of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
"With the DDA and the Delhi Police on board, Delhi's fight against dengue unites all agencies," the government said in a statement.
Baijal has asked the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) Vice-Chairman and the Delhi Police Commissioner to issue directions to their departments to join the anti-dengue campaign launched by the Delhi government.
He also informed the Kejriwal government about his directive.
On Monday, Kejriwal had asked Delhi government officials to inspect their homes at 10 a.m.
every Sunday and offices at 11 a.m. every Friday.
"Following this, the Chief Minister had met the Lieutenant Governor and requested him to support the campaign.
The Lieutenant Governor agreed to inspect his home and office as part of the campaign and also issued directions to the DDA and the Delhi Police on the CM's request," the government said.
"With these two agencies joining the Chief Minister's initiative, it will be a shot in the arm for the fight to defeat dengue," it said.
The Delhi Police has over 80,000 personnel as of June 2019 and the DDA more than 11,000.
Kejriwal and Vijay Kumar Dev, Delhi Chief Secretary, inspected their respective offices at the Delhi Secretariat on Friday.
"As the head of Delhi's bureaucracy, the Chief Secretary appealed to all officials to collaborate and coordinate in making the city free from dengue and chikungunya.
He addressed Principal Secretaries, Secretaries, Heads of Department as well as local/autonomous bodies at the Delhi Secretariat," it said.
On Sunday, Kejriwal launched the '10 Hafte 10 Baje 10 Minute' campaign and urged Delhi residents to inspect their homes at 10 a.m.
for 10 minutes for 10 Sundays between September 1 and November 15.
Kejriwal said since 2015, dengue cases had gone down from 15,867 to just 2,798 in 2018.
The dengue mosquito breeds in clean stagnant water and the campaign aims to create awareness about this.

A special magnetic effect, the so-called magnetorotational instability (MRI), plays a key role in the formation of stars and planetary systems. It is also what feeds the black holes in the center of galaxies. For the first time, this effect has been observed in a laboratory experiment at the Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (FZD). These results have recently been published in "Physical Review Letters".
Everybody remembers the picture of the hungry black hole swallowing all matter in its vicinity. Not even light has a chance to escape. However, closer inspection reveals that feeding a black hole is far from trivial. Typically, the matter around black holes has organized itself into so-called accretion disks. And just as the Earth is not falling into the sun, the black hole cannot just scarf up the matter encircling it. Before being swallowed by the black hole, the gas in the disk has to be slowed down in order to weaken the centrifugal forces, which keep the gas rotating. But how does one put the brakes on matter in an accretion disk? Since this problem not only applies to black holes, but also to normal stars, it is of fundamental importance for the formation of cosmic structures.
Balbus and Hawley proposed the solution to this problem in 1991. They showed mathematically that stable rotating flows can be destabilized by external magnetic fields. This effect, now known as magnetorotational instability (MRI), enables sufficient angular momentum transport in accretion disks, which is essential for the mass concentration in stars and black holes.
For approximately five years, teams throughout the world have tried to create this instability in a laboratory. Two recent papers in the journal "NATURE" (November 16, 2006) underlined the urgent need for an experimental demonstration of MRI by showing evidence that hydrodynamics alone is not capable of producing turbulence in accretion disks. At the Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf the experiment PROMISE (Potsdam Rossendorf Magnetic InStability Experiment) was set-up and carried out as a joint project between scientists from Dresden and from the Astrophysikalisches Institut Potsdam (AIP). The experimental set-up contains unusual details, such as the use of a simple wastewater tube carrying the coil that produces the vertical magnetic field. Within this tube, there are two co-axial copper cylinders with a two to one ratio in radius. As long as the rotation rate of the outer cylinder is larger than a quarter of the rate of the inner cylinder, the liquid metal flow between them is stable. The flow field is measured with ultrasonic velocity sensors. The interesting point is that this initially stable flow is destabilized by an externally applied spiral magnetic field. For the first time, this experiment allowed the observation of a magnetorotational instability in a laboratory.
The figure shows the measured axial flow as a function of the vertical position and time for three different currents in the coils. In each case, the azimuthal magnetic field is produced by an axial current of 6000 Ampères. In good agreement with numerical simulations, an upward traveling wave is observed only for certain levels of current in the coils. Moreover, the measured frequency of the traveling wave agrees well with the numerical prediction.
The results were published recently in "Physical Review Letters" and "Astrophysical Journal Letters".
Stefani, F., Gundrum, Th., Gerbeth, G., Rüdiger, G., Schultz, M., Szklarski, J., Hollerbach, R., Experimental evidence for magnetorotational instability in a Taylor-Couette flow under the influence of a helical magnetic field, Phys. Rev. Letters, Vol. 97, Art. No 184502 (2006).

The magnetorotational instability shows up as a traveling wave in a certain interval of the applied coil current. The wave frequency, normalized to the rotation rate of the inner cylinder, agrees well with numerical prediction.

This article appeared on The Daily Caller on May 12, 2011.
Foreign governments have been less reluctant to subsidize their own firms in chosen industries or to find reasons to inhibit sales of U.S. automobiles in their markets on the grounds that government-subsidized competition is unfair.
These are all real costs with real consequences that are somewhat difficult to quantify. But that doesn't mean they should be swept under the rug. It means that we should think before engaging in politically-driven triumphalism. Furthermore, focusing merely on the direct bailout cost of $50 billion (which is really a conservative figure since it excludes funds spent on behalf of GM's former financial arm GMAC; GM's portion of the $25 billion slush fund to underwrite research and development in green auto technology; and the $7,500 tax credit granted for every new purchase of a Chevy Volt), it is impossible to deem the bailout a success.
And this all brings us to the president's quagmire.
The administration wants to put maximum distance between the episode of GM's nationalization and the 2012 campaign season, which is nearly upon us. Better to not remind independent voters why they regret (or once regretted) the choice they made in 2008.
The soonest the U.S. Treasury can sell the remaining 500 million shares (according to terms of the initial public offering) is May 22, but the administration would also like to "make the taxpayers whole." The problem for the president on that score is that the stock price — even in the wake of this week's earnings report — isn't cooperating. As of this morning's opening bell, GM stock was valued at $31.07 per share. If all of the 500 million remaining publicly-owned shares could be sold at that price, the Treasury would net less than $16 billion. Add that to the $23 billion raised from the initial public offering last November, and the "direct" public loss on GM is about $11 billion — calculated as a $50 billion outlay minus a $39 billion return.
Projections about gasoline prices vary, but as long as prices at the pump remain in the $4 range, GM is going to suffer. Among major automakers, GM is most exposed to the downside of high gasoline prices. Despite all of the subsidies and all of the hoopla over the Chevy Volt (only 1,700 units have been sold through April 2011) and the Chevy Cruse (now subject to a steering column recall that won't help repair negative quality perceptions), GM does not have much of a competitive presence in the small car market. Though GM held the largest overall U.S. market share in 2010, it had the smallest share (8.4%) of the small car market, which is where the demand will be if high gas prices persist. GM will certainly have to do better in that segment once the federally mandated average fleet fuel efficiency standard rise to 35.5 miles per gallon in 2016.
Deservedly reaping what it sowed, the administration finds itself in an unenviable position. It can entirely divest of GM in the short term at what would likely be a $10-to-$15 billion taxpayer loss (the stock price will drop if 500 million shares are put up for sale in short period) and face the ire of an increasingly cost- and budget-conscious electorate. Or the administration can hold onto the stock, hoping against hope that GM experiences economic fortunes good enough to more than compensate for the stock price-suppressing effect of the market's knowledge of an imminent massive sales, while contending with accusations of market meddling and industrial policy.
The administration should divest as soon as possible, without regard to the stock price. Keeping the government's tentacles around a large firm in an important industry will keep the door open wider to industrial policy and will deter market-driven decision-making throughout the industry, possibly keeping the brakes on the recovery. Yes, there will be a significant loss to taxpayers. But the right lesson to learn from this chapter in history is that government interventions carry real economic costs.


I want to thank everyone who came to my Mapping the Votes talk at Google. The talk is available on YouTube - with apologies for the small font size in the code samples!
Here are some links and information that I referred to in the talk.
Komodo IDE isn't cheap, but I figure it paid for itself really fast. There's also a free Komodo Edit that everyone should install even if you already have a favorite editor. Both versions have real-time syntax checking, where you get squiggly red underlines for syntax errors and squiggly green underlines for warnings, just like the spelling and grammar checkers in a word processor. This has saved me literally thousands of page reloads when testing, since Komodo catches my syntax errors before I even save the file. Komodo runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows.
One nice thing about GUI editors is that the basic editing works the same in all of them (or should), so it's easy to switch back and forth if some other editor has a feature you want to take advantage of. Besides Komodo, I also use PSPad (free, Windows only), mostly because of its nice HTML/XML pretty-printer. It cleans up unreadable web page source code real quick.
Another expensive-but-well-worth-it tool for Windows and Mac is Araxis Merge, a terrific file compare and merge program with live editing. I use Merge as the diff/merge program for TortoiseSVN, which makes source control a dream.
If you look at the code, go easy on me: much of it was written under severe time pressure. I asked if the elections could be delayed when I wasn't quite ready, but even the mighty Google couldn't seem to arrange that.
Shapefiles are a wacky file format used for geographic data. Be thankful that other people have already written programs to pick them apart, so you and I don't have to.
At first, I was using shp2text to convert shapefiles to an easy-to-use XML format (using the --gpx option), but this loses some of the information in the shapefile. More recently, Zachary Forest Johnson, author of the interesting indiemaps blog, wrote shpUtils.py, which decodes shapefiles into usable Python data.
I extended shpUtils.py to calculate correct centroids, area and other information about the shapes, and to fix a few bugs. The updated version is in the primary-maps-2008 project.
The election maps use the centroids of the state and county polygons to position markers for those states.
Centroids are one of those things that you think you understand and then find out you were completely wrong. My first guess was the same as Zachary's, to take the arithmetic mean of all the points (X and Y separately). The Wikipedia article even seems to say this, but it's talking about the centroid of the points, not the centroid of the polygon that those points define. If you read it carefully, the article does give the correct algorithm, but it's better explained on this page, along with sample implementations in various languages.
The state and county outlines in the election maps come from shapefiles provided by the Census Bureau. Most states report votes by county, but a few New England states report by town (County Subdivisions in the Census Bureau page), and a few other states report by congressional district.
D'oh! I completely forgot to talk about this important topic. The Census Bureau shapefiles have too much detail to be usable in a browser-based map. If you draw polygons from them, it will be much too slow. A tile layer can handle more detail, but the graphic files will be larger than they could be, because of the excess detail.
The code that processes shapefiles for the election maps is in makepolys.py which generates JSON output, and maketiles.py which generates tiles from that JSON data using ImageMagick.
The code to convert vote data from the latest primaries is in voter.py. This processes CSV files provided by the Boston Globe and converts them to JSON data.
The Ruby script that gathers the Twitter updates uses the Jabber::Simple module written by Blaine Cook to create a custom Jabber client that talks to Twitter, and uses the Twittervision API to get geographic information. It parses the XML data with sweet Hpricot, then generates JSON data (but you probably saw that coming). If you like jQuery, you'll like Hpricot.
The election mapplet code is in decision2008.xml and map.js. The code for the Campaign Trail mapplet is in campaign-trail.xml and campaign-trail.js. The latter file has the latest versions of the Array.mapjoin(), Array.index(), Object.sort(), S(), and related functions that I talked about. They are at the top of the file, and not yet documented, but you can find examples of each in the code.
That's it for now! I'll be posting more detailed articles on some of these topics. If there is a particular area you're interested in, please let me know in the comments.
This function iterates through all of the top-level windows (children of the desktop window) and calls lpEnumFunc for each one, passing it the HWND of each window and the lParam that you passed to EnumWindows.
That's it, just one function, no callback function or struct definition needed. We don't need the struct because the code inside the loop can directly reference the nVisible variable defined in the function.
But the simplification came at a price: We had to write the loop ourselves, asking explicitly for the first child of the desktop window and then the next sibling of each child window.
What if another application creates or destroys a top-level window, or just changes a window's Z-order, while you're in the loop? You'll either miss a window, count one twice, or crash with an invalid window handle.
To handle these cases, you need a bit more complexity. If you had a way to temporarily lock all window creation and destruction, you could quickly create a list of all the windows and then release the lock, then enumerate from that list, perhaps also doing a last-minute check when you enumerate each window to skip any that get destroyed during enumeration. Or, you might set a Windows hook to notify you of any windows created, destroyed, or moved in the Z-order, so you could deal with them appropriately.
Whatever you did, it would be enough code that you wouldn't want to duplicate it each time you wanted to write a window loop. The GetFirstChild/GetNextSibling style of loop doesn't really facilitate that kind of code isolation. The EnumWindows style enumerator completely separates the code that does the iterating (EnumWindows itself) from the code that receives the iteration (your callback function). But, it makes it harder to share state between the callback function and the code that called EnumWindows.
Both those language have enough extra syntactic cruft that when you look at a simple example using nested anonymous functions, it's easy to be unimpressed. The payoff shows up in more complicated, real-life coding situations.
nVisible += 1 if window.visible?
In this code, the enumWindows function takes a code block argument and calls that code block for each window, passing it the window as an argument. Because the code block is nested inside the countVisibleWindows function, it can access the nVisible variable directly.
This solves both our problems: The logic for iterating through the windows is separated out into the enumWindows function, and the callback function (code block) can access state variables cleanly and easily.
Unfortunately, Ruby does not seem to have a Windows interface library that works like this. Ruby's standard Win32 module provides a general way to call Windows DLL functions, but it doesn't have a clean implementation of enumWindows that uses a code block.
However, MoonWolf has written a Ruby port of Perl's Win32::GuiTest module that includes this kind of enumWindows function. It's implemented in two parts: a low level function written in C that enumerates HWND values, and a higher level function written in Ruby that constructs Ruby window objects and enumerates them. The window object in Win32::GuiTest is a fairly thin wrapper that encapsulates an HWND and other window information.
This code calls the low-level _enumWindows function, which passes an HWND to the code block enclosed in curly braces. This code block creates the window object, appends to the ret array, and also yields the window object to a code block that was provided by the caller of enumWindows.
where mGuiTest is a reference to the Win32::GuiTest module.
This shows how easy it is to extend Ruby with C code, adding functions that work just like ones written in Ruby.
In everyday use, of course, you don't worry about that whole call stack, just the part of it you're working with.
Matt Pietrek marvels at C# 2.0 iterators and dissects them right down to the CLR bytecode. I always learn something from Matt, and this whirlwind tour is no exception.
Matt says, "This was the beginning of my descent into the loopy world of C# 2.0 iterators. It took me awhile to wrap my head around them, and when I tried to explain them to other team members I got looks of total confusion." I wonder if it would have been less confusing if Matt's team had first been exposed to yield iterators in a language that makes them easier to use.
After using Python and Ruby, the iterators in C# feel right at home to me. They work the same in all three languages, but in Ruby and Python there's not as much other code to get in the way of understanding them.
The one unfamiliar thing here may be the |name| notation, which is how a code block such as the body of a loop receives its argument. And the p statements are a kind of print statement.
Either way, the Python and Ruby versions make it easier to see what the iterator function does and how yield interacts with the rest of the code.
You may note that the Python and Ruby versions don't create and instantiate a SomeContainer class as the C# version does. That's true, and it would make the code in those languages a bit longer (but still simpler than the C# code). But, if you don't need to—and you especially don't need to when you're experimenting and trying to understand a radical new technique like yield iterators—why bother?


Are you ready for a few party-side compliments? Just taking this beer holder and cooler out of the house had tongues wagging. Above you can see how easy it is to build with just a few power tools. Below is the supplies and method to see it through.
Using the pine board, measure and mark out the base – 200mm x 150mm, end walls x 2 – 150mm x 230mm, centre divider – 200mm x 180mm and the pine trim side walls x 2 – 240mm long.
Using the Worx 20V WorxSaw, cut out the pieces marked out in the previous step.
Take both 150mm x 230mm end walls. From the 150mm edge, mark up 115mm on both sides. At the opposite end mark in from the 230mm edge 65mm, repeat step from other side. Now join lines on both sides using a straight edge, and cut using the 20V Worxsaw.
Now using the Worx 20V Sonicrafter and sanding head, smooth out all cut edges.
With one end wall, place your bottle opener on the top end, making sure it is center (this is important as these holes will screw into the center divider later on). Mark center holes on the bottle opener and with your Worx H3 drill through both the bottle opener and the end wall using a 1/8 drill bit.
Time for assembly. Make sure to pre-drill all holes with a 1/8 drill bit. This pilot hole will ensure that no splitting of the wood will occur while screwing pieces together. Center the base to the end walls, and drive in screws using the Worx H3 Driver and a driver bit. Now with the pine trim side walls, measure up from the base to allow for the freezer ice brick to slide in and out underneath. Square the ends of the side wall to the end walls. Now using the 1/8 drill bit drill a pilot hole, and then drive in screws. Repeat for other side.
Now its time to insert the center divider. Use a rule to ensure that the divider is central to both sides and flush at the top end of the end walls. Once square drive screws through the bottle opener, end wall and into the center divider end. Repeat process on the other end without the bottle opener.
Measure out center on the top edge of the center divider. Measure and mark center of the divider to the handle. Now Drill a 1/8 pilot hole using the Worx H3 drill. Remove the end wall bottle opener screws so that all is left is the wooden product.
Paint all sides using a paint or stain of your choice. We chose a lighter canned stain for ease of use, but a tin and paintbrush will work just as well.
Reinstall Bottle opener and end wall screws, and screw in the top handle. Beer Time!

Lampard reveals what will happen to Mount, Abraham and Tomori in January
Posted By: VICTOR N December 7, 2019
What would be the future of the Chelsea youngsters in the squad now that the Blues can sign more experienced players in the transfer market?
The transfer ban placed on Chelsea has been a blessing in disguise as it has led to the emergence of the club's academy graduates like Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori and Reece James, who are all doing well at the moment.
With the ban now lifted, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has moved to assure that the academy stars will still have a place in the team.
"If we're going to try [to make signings] it will be for the improvement of the squad – but if you think we're going to line up Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham, Reece James and sell them, we're not," Lampard explained.
"They're here to stay so the fans will be happy that they can keep that relationship and know that anything we do going forward now will be to try and improve from that base.
"[We need to consider] the attitude and personality of people we bring in, because we want people who come in to want to work hard and be successful at the club. So that's where the balance of it becomes really important to me."

Why the buzz about Blue Light?
Blue light has existed since the beginning of time, so why all the fuss now?
Before digital devices and curlicue (CFL) and LED light bulbs, the only source of blue light that we worried about was the sun. Blue light is now indoors and present on backlit devices and artificial lights, exposing our eyes to increasing levels of blue light. This increase is not what nature intended when we got the sun. This is artificial, humanmade light and it's messing with our body's delicate balance.
In fact, some studies show that the energy saving lights in our homes can have a more significant impact than regularly viewing our electronic devices.
Studies now show that blue light, such as the wavelengths emitted by cell phones, computers, tablets, TVs and compact fluorescent lights, suppresses our natural melatonin levels, which in turn makes our bodies think it's not time to go to bed, but to stay up longer.
The body does an incredible amount of rest and repair during the crucial sleep phase. When people deprive themselves of sleep, a plethora of other medical conditions can set in. This may include depression, hormone imbalances, and other chronic illnesses.
The body's complex, yet the perfect process for helping people sleep is simple. About an hour or two before bedtime, a small gland in the brain – known as the pineal gland – begins increasing the amount of a hormone called melatonin. Melatonin is what is responsible for making us sleepy, helping us wind down for the day. The body naturally begins to produce melatonin in response to if it is light or dark outside. This is why in Alaska when it is light nearly 18 hours a day, people use light blocking shades to help maintain a healthy circadian rhythm. This may also be why areas that are more significantly affected by the light/dark swing, such as those states further up north, have more people that suffer from SAD – Seasonal Affective Disorder. This can make people want to sleep more during the dark, winter months.
Blue light blocking glasses, such as BluTech Lenses, can help block these harmful blue light rays that keep our bodies in "wake" mode. It's essential to use quality blue light blocking glasses that block 90 to 100% of harmful blue light. One study showed that adults that wore blue-light blocking glasses for three hours before going to sleep reported having better sleep quality and moods than the group that did not wear these glasses before bedtime.
If you are interested in learning more about blue light blocking glasses, view the article published by The Washington Post about how blue light impedes a good night's sleep and why Americans are disrupting their normal circadian rhythm sleep cycle.

PUBLISHED: April 11, 2014 at 2:51 pm | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 6:04 am
WHITTIER DAILY NEWS' 2013-14 GIRLS SOCCER ALL-AREA TEAM
Ileen Mejia, La Mirada, Senior midfielder
She was a four-year varsity starter for La Mirada High and a four-time All-Suburban League performer. She was honored by the CIF-SS three times with All-CIF inclusion, and she earned Suburban League MVP honors as a junior and a senior.
This list of accomplishments is impressive for Ileen Mejia, who can add Whittier Daily News All-Area Player of the Year to her resume. She's been a fierce competitor and tireless worker for La Mirada since her freshman year, and she'll soon join teammate Samantha Scovel at Mercy College near New York City.
"She's just a competitor," remembered La Mirada coach Dave Christensen. "She brought everybody's level of intensity up and outworked everyone on the field.
"She was gonna make it a game," Christensen added, "whoever we were playing."
Mejia brilliantly led the Matadores from her spot in the midfield, directing the action with great ball control and precision passes.
"As an offensive midfielder, I was more of a distributor, getting the ball to the forwards, getting them to make runs," Mejia said. "And at times, I would take a chance and take a shot, take on the forward's role at times."
La Mirada averaged nearly 3.8 goals per game this season, and took the No. 1 seeding into the Division 4 playoffs. Before its shocking second-round playoff loss to Lancaster, La Mirada scored 62 goals in 13 games.
Mejia either scored or set up many of those goals. She led the Matadores with 11 goals and 20 assists, and was an easy choice for her second Suburban League MVP honor. Later, she was an All-CIF first-team selection in Division 4.
"It was fun, knowing I could help the team," Mejia said.
Tessa Troglia, La Serna
Some of the nonleague losses suffered by La Serna were a bit lopsided – 6-0 to Brea Olinda, 5-0 to Bishop Amat, 3-1 vs. Pasadena Poly, 2-0 to La Mirada – but All Area Coach of the Year Tessa Troglia had a plan. She loaded the Lancers' schedule with tough tournaments and tough competition early to get them ready for Del Rio League play, where they would get every opponent's best shot.
The schedule included five opponents ranked in CIF-SS playoff divisions above their own, and another ranked ahead of them in Division 5. During a seven-game stretch that sandwiched the holiday season, La Serna was outscored 19-4 and went 2-4-1.
And once league play began, the Lancers were ready. They defended their title from the year before with a 9-1 record, including five shutouts, and outscored the competition 25-4.
Samantha Scovel, La Mirada, Senior defender
Scovel anchored the back line for the Matadores and was a major contributor to their 19 shutouts this season. Scovel's experience and skill on the ball helped to keep La Mirada cool in pressure situations, especially late in games. She was selected Suburban League Defensive Player of the Year and made the All-CIF second team.
Madison Bennett, La Mirada, Sophomore forward
Bennett found herself on the receiving end of countless services from Player of the Year Ileen Mejia this season, and she made the most of her chances. Bennett scored eight goals as a sophomore and added 14 assists. With Bennett up front, La Mirada scored 106 goals in 28 games. She was an All-Suburban League first-team selection.
Michelle Reed, La Serna, Junior midfielder
Reed was the catalyst for La Serna's offense from the middle of the field, and was equally as adept at scoring as she was giving assists. Reed found the back of the net eight times and added three more assists for the Del Rio League champs. Reed was honored as Del Rio League MVP and as an All-CIF first-team selection.
Liz Hernandez, La Serna, Junior forward
Hernandez was yet another offensive threat for La Serna, and was honored as Del Rio League Co-Offensive Player of the Year. At the front of the Lancers' attack, Hernandez scored six goals and added four assists.
Monica Ochoa, El Rancho, Senior defender
With Ochoa leading the way, El Rancho's defense allowed just 16 goals all season and kept the opposition scoreless 12 times. Ochoa played a crucial role in the Dons' 1-0 shutout of La Serna, the Lancers' only league blemish. For her efforts, Ochoa was selected the Del Rio League's Defensive Player of the Year.
Paulina Viramontes, El Rancho, Junior defender
Viramontes was another defensive stalwart for the Dons, teaming with Monica Ochoa to hold opponents to a 0.8 goals per game average. With its strong and steady back line, El Rancho earned seven 1-0 victories. Viramontes was an All-Del Rio League first-team selection.
Jolene Ceniceros, Ca, Sophomore forward
Ceniceros led the Condors with 13 goals, and her eight tallies during Del Rio League play was tied for the most this season. She also had a goal in Cal's 3-1 victory over Patriot in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 5 playoffs. Ceniceros was the Del Rio League's Co-Offensive Player of the Year and was an All-CIF first-team selection.
Lizzie Ayson, Cal, Senior midfielder
Ayson was a threat to either score herself or provide an assist to a teammate out of Cal's midfield. She scored nine goals and added six assists on her way to All-Del Rio League first-team recognition. Ayson also made the All-CIF second team.
Miranda Gomez, Cantwell-Sacred Heart, Freshman forward
Gomez burst onto the scene as a freshman with a pair of goals in her very first varsity game, and she improved from there. Gomez finished the season with a team-high 16 goals, and she was recognized as an All-Camino Real League first teamer.
Marisa Arvizu, Montebello, Senior midfielder
Arvizu skillfully directed the Oilers' offense from the midfield, and her aggressive play often led to goals. She led the team with 10 goals and four assists, and she played in all 25 games for Montebello. Arvizu was selected to the All-Almont League first team and made the All-CIF second team.
Nadine Garcia, Montebello, Senior goalie
Garcia allowed just 11 goals in nearly 1,500 minutes of playing time this season, and opponents averaged under 0.6 goals per game. Garcia recorded 12 shutout victories or draws, and she made 77 saves for the Oilers while facing 3.2 shots per game.

How Positive Thinking, Prosperity Gospel Define Donald Trump's Faith Outlook
By Tom Gjelten
Published August 3, 2016 at 11:31 AM PDT
Jae C. Hong
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump attends a Sunday service at First Christian Church Council Bluffs, Iowa in January.
(Editor's note: Both major presidential candidates this year are Protestants. Both of their running mates were raised as Catholics. Beyond that, their faith profiles are very different. We dug into the faiths of the Republican candidates below and of the Democratic ticket here.)
In his speech to the Republican convention, Donald Trump thanked "the evangelical and religious community" for supporting his candidacy, but then added, "I'm not sure I totally deserve it." Trump does not often express humility, but in this case he seemed to be acknowledging a fairly obvious point.
The Pew Research Center's January 2016 survey of Americans' views of their presidential candidates found only 30 percent regarded Trump as "very or somewhat" religious. Sixty percent said Trump was "not too" or "not at all" religious. No candidate, Republican or Democrat, had a lower religiosity score.
He has said a Bible his mother gave him as a youngster is "very special to me." However, Trump faced criticism after he would not identify a favorite scriptural passage when asked to do so. "I don't want to get into specifics," he said. He does not claim to be especially devout and once told an interviewer he couldn't remember ever asking for forgiveness.
In spite of those apparent religious shortcomings, however, it is not quite true that Trump lacks a personal faith tradition. He was baptized and confirmed at a Presbyterian church in the Queens neighborhood where he grew up. Later, his parents joined Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan. The pastor there was Norman Vincent Peale, and it's the church Trump came to call his own.
"I go to church, and I love God, and I love my church," Trump told the Family Leadership Summit in Iowa last year. "Norman Vincent Peale, the great Norman Vincent Peale, was my pastor. ... He was so great. And what he would do is, he'd bring real-life situations, modern-day situations, into the sermon. And you could listen to him all day long."
Peale was in fact one of the most famous Christian preachers of the 20th century, well known for his admiration of successful businessmen. He regularly sprinkled his sermons with anecdotes about prominent industrialists he had known and respected, from the president of the Ralston Purina Company to the founder of Kraft Foods.
"Being a merchant isn't getting money," he preached. "Being a merchant is serving the people!"
In his book, The Power of Positive Thinking, and in his preaching, Peale promoted a faith message that appealed to Donald Trump.
He defined success pretty broadly, so it partly included material success. God didn't want people to be poor.
"Peale got very interested in the notion that the Gospel could unleash power, that having a divine relationship with God could unleash power within a person for success," says Michael Hamilton, a historian of American Christianity at Seattle Pacific University. "And he defined success pretty broadly, so it partly included material success. God didn't want people to be poor."
Among the businessmen Peale welcomed to his church was Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, a New York real estate developer.
"When he went into church on Sunday," Hamilton says, "[Fred Trump] would hear his minister telling him stories about if you have positive thinking, if you're faithful, if you're upholding your family and your community, then that's what unleashes the power that's made you successful."
Peale, who died in 1993, rarely talked about salvation. His message was more practical than theological. It echoes today in what's known as the Prosperity Gospel, practiced by megachurch televangelists who favor spectacle and say God chooses to reward some people with material wealth.
Donald Trump, drawn to Norman Vincent Peale in his younger days, now surrounds himself with prosperity preachers. Paula White ("a tremendous person, tremendous woman"), Mark Burns ("I don't know if you've watched him on television") and Darrell Scott ("phenomenal guy") were among those with Trump in June when he spoke to a Faith and Freedom conference in Washington, D.C.
If Trump felt he needed to demonstrate still more religiosity, he may have relieved it with his choice of Indiana governor Mike Pence as his running mate.
"I'm a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican — in that order," Pence said as he accepted the vice presidential nomination. It's a phrase he's used to describe himself before — his religious convictions have been a hallmark of his career.
His own faith story is intriguing. Raised in an Irish Catholic household, Pence was an altar boy at his local church and went to a parochial school. As a member of a non-denominational Christian youth group at college, he had a "conversion" experience. By 1994, he was describing himself as a "born again evangelical Catholic." The label confused some theologians who focus on the differences between Catholicism and evangelical Christianity, but other Christians understood what he meant.
"'Born again' comes from the Bible," said Kirsten Powers, a USA Today columnist and Fox News commentator who had her own conversion experience about 10 years ago. "It's a phrase Jesus used."
A former Democratic Party activist who worked for President Bill Clinton, Powers joined the Catholic church last year.
"Catholic or evangelical or mainline Protestant, any of these people could be born again," she says. "If somebody said to me, 'I'm an evangelical Catholic' or 'I'm a born again Catholic,' it would be them saying 'I'm a sincere Christian. I read the Bible. My life has been transformed.'"
Trump himself has never claimed to be transformed or "born again." But that may not matter, if he outsources the responsibility for religious outreach to his running mate. As Indiana governor, Mike Pence bolstered his conservative credentials by signing a religious liberty law to protect business people — critics said it would allow them to discriminate against gays and lesbians. If Pence now says Trump is a good man, that may be enough for voters who care about their candidates' faith.

Jardine Libaire is the author of Here Kitty Kitty. She is a graduate of Skidmore College and a 1997 graduate of the University of Michigan Creative Writing MFA Program, where she won a Hopwood Award. Jardine won the Zoetrope Screenplay contest in 2012 for her script You're An Animal and is currently adapting the screenplay into a short novel.
Lee is the consummate party girl, living a decidedly consequence-free existence. She has the right clothes-the Helmut Lang heels and vintage Dior dresses-the right job managing a stylish SoHo restaurant, the right shabby-chic apartment in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, and the right pager number to get the right drugs. She even has the right boyfriend-a wealthy Frenchman who bails her out of trouble whenever she teeters too close to the edge. Lee knows youth and beauty can only protect her from her wild life for so long. But when the lights go down at closing time, the energy of the city begins to pulse. It is a call she can't resist, and she follows it to backrooms and warehouse raves, to loft parties and after-hours clubs, fueled by the liquids and powders whose names begin to blur, pursuing the elusive thrills of the New York night. Libaire's voice, like her heroine, is tough, seductive, and hard-hitting, and she paints a city that only the young and reckless experience-a place where glamour and danger are just flip sides of the same thrilling coin.
A four-part YA series set in the privileged but fraught world of an elite East Coast boarding school (by authors who met while attending Hotchkiss together in the nineties).

Periodontal disease affects thousands of Americans. What causes it?
Bacteria invades the gum tissue around the teeth, causing irritation below the gum line as plaque forms.
Some bacteria can even release toxins that attack the bone that helps hold teeth in place.
Gums can start to bleed when brushed, and teeth can become loose and/or fall out.
Periodontal treatment can get rid of bacteria and plaque, and can slowly restore your gums to health.
I'm Dr Scharf. You may have decided on your own that it is time to see a professional about your teeth, or perhaps your family dentist has recommended that you visit my office so that the extent of your "periodontitis" or gum disease may be evaluated. I am a specialist in this area of dentistry, and I am known as a periodontist. I work with patients who are concerned about gum disease as well as those who need dental implants or any other treatment related to the gums.
Commonly known as pyorrhea, periodontal disease is a progressive ailment, meaning it gets gradually worse over time. It is suffered, to some extent, by nearly 90 percent of adults over age 35 and is the primary reason for loss of teeth by people over 30.
Periodontal disease begins when bacteria invade the gum tissue surrounding the teeth. Once this bacterial invasion takes hold, the gums become puffy, bleed easily, and gradually lose their "grip" on the teeth they are supposed to protect. Pockets form around the teeth where the gum loses its grip, allowing even more bacteria to lodge under the gum line below the reach of a toothbrush. Some of the bacteria can produce toxins that attack the bone supporting the teeth. Without treatment, teeth become loose and may need to be removed.
Because this destruction usually occurs beneath the gum line, the gum tissue may appear normal. This explains why many people discover too late that they have the disease. Only a thorough periodontal examination can reveal whether hidden disease is present.
Appropriate treatment along with follow-up care by you and your family dentist can help to prevent recurrence of the disease.
Treatment usually begins with a thorough cleaning of the tooth roots and any gum pockets. The plaque and calculus are removed and tooth roots smoothed to eliminate any crevices that can harbor plaque.
Sometimes the biting surfaces of the teeth can be adjusted to evenly distribute chewing pressures throughout the mouth.


Sixthsensesports.com handicapper Scott Kellen breaks down Week 15 of the 2018 NFL season.
Analysis: The Dolphins are off their "Miami Miracle" win last week over New England. Minnesota has a new offensive coordinator after looking awful in its 21-7 defeat at Seattle on Monday night. The Vikings have played three of their last four games on the road against Chicago, New England and Seattle. Now they're home, where they are still a tough out. They face a Miami team that has struggled on the road.
By the numbers: Miami is 2-9 ATS in its last 11 games as a road underdog. It has allowed 24 or more points in 10 of those games and scored 17 or fewer in seven of those games. … Mike Zimmer is 15-3-1 ATS as a home favorite against nondivisional teams.
Analysis: Oakland is off its best win of the season over the Steelers last week as 10-point home underdogs. The Bengals were a tough out in Los Angeles against the Chargers last week but have lost five straight and seven of eight. It's an early East Coast start time for the Raiders. Cincinnati has lost its best receiver, best tight end and starting quarterback. Since that string of injuries started in Week 4, it has won only one game by more than three points.
By the numbers: Cincinnati has allowed at least 23 points in 12 games. … Oakland is 4-10 ATS in its last 14 games as a road underdog and has topped 20 points in two of those games.
Analysis: Lamar Jackson lost his first start since taking over for Joe Flacco last week in Kansas City, but the Ravens were competitive against one of the NFL's best teams. For the fifth straight week, Jackson will face a below average run defense in Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers come off three straight home games in which they went 2-1.
By the numbers: Tampa Bay has lost 12 of its last 13 games straight up as road underdogs while allowing at least 26 points in 12 of those games. They've allowed at least 34 points in each road game this season. … The Ravens have scored 23 or more points at home in 13 of their last 14 games as home favorites. … The over is 10-2 in the Bucs' last 12 games as road underdogs.
Analysis: Dallas all but wrapped up the NFC East last week with its OT victory over Philadelphia. Does this game mean something to the Cowboys? Sure, but don't expect them to play anyone who is limping around. They have the playoffs to prepare for, so there's not much upside to playing anyone who is banged up. Guard Zach Martin is a perfect candidate to rest this week. The Colts continue to press on, as their offense has been rolling since Week 6, when they started to get healthy on offense. They've won each of their last four home starts.
By the numbers: Dallas is on a 12-4 under run as a road underdog, and the the Colts are on a 13-5 under streak as home favorites.
Analysis: Detroit defeated an Arizona team in the desert last week that had a bad offense, a rookie quarterback and a good defense. Now they get the better version of that Arizona team in Buffalo. The Bills sport a better offense, a better rookie quarterback and a superior defense in a much tougher environment. Detroit's offense has disappeared since trading WR Golden Tate and losing WR Marvin Jones and guard T.J. Lang to injuries. And now QB Matthew Stafford is trying to play through an injury. Buffalo comes off two straight losses in games it controlled from the line of scrimmage against the Dolphins and Jets.
By the numbers: The Bills have gone 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games as home favorites, and the over is 11-3 in those games. … Detroit hasn't scored more than 22 points in its last seven games, and the only time it scored 22 was when it scored two meaningless TDs late in a blowout loss to Chicago.
Analysis: Green Bay comes off its first game and victory since Mike McCarthy was fired. But it beat lowly Atlanta and averaged 4.5 yards per pass. The Bears are off a dominant defensive performance in Sunday's 15-6 win over the high-flying Rams, who were denied a touchdown for the first time under Sean McVay. The Packers' offensive line is banged up and expected to be without tackle Bryan Bulaga, who would have faced Khalil Mack.
By the numbers: Green Bay has lost eight straight games on the road and has allowed 23 or more points in 20 of its last 24 road games. … The Bears are 6-0 ATS in their last six games as home favorites, including 5-0 this season. They've scored 24 or more in all five games as home favorites.
Analysis: The Giants have won four of five games since their bye week allowed them to make changes to their offense. The question is how good are they after defeating San Francisco, Tampa Bay, Chicago with Chase Daniel and Washington with Mark Sanchez. The Titans have struggled on the road, but their best performance came after their bye week. They aren't off their bye week, but are off a Thursday night game with extra time to prepare. Still, this line has moved too much for my liking, and WR Odell Beckham Jr. is out for the Giants.
By the numbers: The Titans are 5-14-1 ATS as road favorites in their last 20 tries.
Analysis: It doesn't get much more exciting than this. Cody Kessler versus Josh Johnson at quarterback.
By the numbers: As a home favorite, Jacksonville has held six of its last nine opponents to 12 points or fewer.
Analysis: This is a matchup of two teams just trying to finish out the season. Atlanta has lost five straight and faces an Arizona team that has been decimated by injuries on the offensive line.
By the numbers: Washington is the only team that Atlanta has defeated by more than 10 points. … The Falcons have failed to top 20 points in their last five games. … Atlanta is 1-5 ATS as a home favorite, having allowed 20 or more points in each of those games. … Arizona's defense has helped it cover two double-digit underdog roles on the road.
Analysis: Seattle is in a similar spot as Dallas in that it has just about wrapped up a playoff spot, and the Seahawks can't win their division. The games matter, but they won't risk putting a dinged up player on the field. The Seahawks have dominated this series, but the Niners can compete if they avoid turnovers, which have killed them all season. Weather probably will have an impact with rain and wind.
By the numbers: Seattle has run the ball more than 55 percent of the time since Week 3. … The Seahawks are on a 3-6-1 spread skid as road favorites. The under is 7-3 in those games. … The 49ers are on a 16-8 under streak as home underdogs.
Analysis: Both teams come off losses. Pittsburgh has lost three in a row and is facing a potential five-game losing streak with a loss here and next week at New Orleans. The Steelers already have lost at home to the Chiefs, Ravens and Chargers.
By the numbers: Since 2003, the Patriots are 19-0 ATS on the road as a favorite of fewer than five points or an underdog. … Pittsburgh is 12-4-2 ATS in its last 18 games as a home underdog. But its last two losses have come against New England.
Analysis: Nick Foles will start for Philadelphia. He came into the game for an injured Carson Wentz at the Rams last season and ultimately led Philadelphia to the Super Bowl title. But that's not likely this season. Foles was awful in his two starts at the beginning of the season, averaging 4.9 yards per pass. The Rams are smarting off a loss to the Bears.
By the numbers: Philadelphia is on a 4-7 ATS slide as a road underdog, and the over is 8-2-1 in those games. The Eagles have allowed 23 or more points in 10 straight games as road underdogs. … The Rams have scored at least 29 points in eight of their 12 games as home favorites under Sean McVay.
Analysis: The Saints will be playing their third straight road game. Carolina comes home on a five-game losing streak after a stretch of four road games in five weeks. The Panthers are 5-1 straight up at home, with the loss by three points against Seattle.
By the numbers: The Saints are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 road games as favorites of at least six points. … Carolina is on a 5-1 cover run as a home underdog.
