Q: Viewing the Process Tree - tlist/tasklist Starting with windows xp, the tlist command was replaced by the tasklist command.
The old tlist command had the option \t, which permitted to query parent/child process relationship.
Does a similar option exist in tasklist?
Thank you

A: Also you can tried
tasklist /M

It will give you result like that:
BESClientUI.exe               4296 ntdll.dll, wow64.dll, wow64win.dll,

VpCI-391 is a water-based coating that is transforming transit and storage protection options for equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and owners. This removable coating delivers exceptional corrosion protection for indoor and outdoor applications and dries to a thin, clear film which is virtually unnoticeable. VpCI-391 can be used to protect both unpainted and painted surfaces, as well as to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion.
The biggest advantage of VpCI-391 is that, as a water-based coating, it is much easier to use and clean up than solvent-based systems. It can be easily removed from equipment or structures using alkaline cleaners—however, this is not always necessary because of the coating's clear non-tacky appearance. These characteristics make VpCI-391 an excellent alternative to applying traditional thick heavy waxy or greasy products like COSMOLINE or Tectyl,* which are messy to use, difficult to remove, and do not leave a clean appearance.
VpCI-391 is gaining popularity with manufacturers who have found it to be an excellent option for transit protection of newly made equipment. Before shipment, manufacturers can spray VpCI®-391 over door handles, hydraulic connections, wheel hubs, chassis, or anywhere they have noticed a tendency for corrosion. VpCI-391 has been used to safely transport fire trucks, heavy equipment, and complex oil rig equipment, as well as to protect pipes and equipment from deterioration in outdoor storage yards.
VpCI-391 is a single component system with no mixing required. It can be applied via spray, brush, roll, or dip. VOCs are less than 0.5 pounds per gallon (48 g/L). The coating goes on white and dries clear, or it can be tinted to a specific color if desired. VpCI-391 does not harm plastic, so overspray on plastic components is not a concern.

Russ & Daughters: Reflections And Recipes From The House That Herring Built

The former owner/proprietor of the beloved appetizing store on Manhattan's Lower East Side tells the delightful, mouthwatering story of an immigrant family's journey from a pushcart in 1907 to "New York's most hallowed shrine to the miracle of caviar, smoked salmon, ethereal herring, and silken chopped liver" (The New York Times Magazine).
When Joel Russ started peddling herring from a barrel shortly after his arrival in America from Poland, he could not have imagined that he was giving birth to a gastronomic legend. Here is the story of this "Louvre of lox" (The Sunday Times, London): its humble beginnings, the struggle to keep it going during the Great Depression, the food rationing of World War II, the passing of the torch to the next generation as the flight from the Lower East Side was beginning, the heartbreaking years of neighborhood blight, and the almost miraculous renaissance of an area from which hundreds of other family-owned stores had fled.
Filled with delightful anecdotes about how a ferociously hardworking family turned a passion for selling perfectly smoked and pickled fish into an institution with a devoted national clientele, Mark Russ Federman's reminiscences combine a heartwarming and triumphant immigrant saga with a panoramic history of twentieth-century New York, a meditation on the creation and selling of gourmet food by a family that has mastered this art, and an enchanting behind-the-scenes look at four generations of people who are just a little bit crazy on the subject of fish.

Mark Russ Federman, grandson of founder Joel Russ, took over the running of Russ & Daughters from his parents in 1978 and turned it over to the fourth generation, his daughter, Niki, and nephew Josh, in 2009. He has appeared individually and on panels at the Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of the City of New York, the New York ...

The future is designed by teenage boys. Sounds pretty accurate, for better or worse. Give the song a listen over on Paste.
The financial end was constantly struggling to break even, trying to do a casual environment where people didn't feel obliged to buy a big meal. They could have a cup of coffee, hang out.
That welcoming atmosphere was one of the things I liked best about Langdon Street. I never really fell into any of the many wheelhouses of music they boasted, but I always knew the cafe was a place I could stop in while passing through Montpelier, rely on as a meeting place or if I wanted to retreat somewhere with a pencil and notebook. And, of course, I played a lot of games there in celebration of Geek Week and other spontaneous game nights.
Thank you, Ben and Meg, for six and a half years!
Geek Musician John Anealio, out of New Jersey (We're really hoping that he'll be touring up here in Vermont at some point this year.) has released a new EP of some of his songs. Appropriately, in time for National Library Week, it's called Books, Bytes & Bots, featuring some of his book related songs. It's worth checking out (as well as his growing back track collection – his recently released Robot EP is also quite a bit of fun) , for some fun songs about George R.R. Martin, Apple, John Scalzi and Wil Wheaton.

An Interview with Bojan Požar
I am from Ljubljana, Slovenia. I am journalist, TV host and publisher.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I am first and foremost a journalist. However, after I wrote my first book called Dangerous Liaisons of Naked Slovenia in 2002, which went on to become a national bestseller, I've come to consider myself as a publisher as well.
What inspired you to write Melania Trump – The Inside Story?
Melania Trump is the most famous Slovenian in the world today. In a way she could be considered as a brand. But despite that there isn't much information about her or her family, even though they've all been living in the States for quite some time. I would even go as far as saying that a lot of information that is known about her is either inaccurate or strategically placed. Not just in America but in Slovenia as well. That was my inspiration from the book.
Apart from that, as mentioned I'm a published and well read author in Slovenia already, but my desire was to try and breakthrough to a foreign, global market as well. And the story about Melania Trump, the potential First Lady of USA, was the perfect opportunity for that.
Do you have a specific writing style?
Most people would say that I do, yes. I personally consider it more of a journalistic style of writing.
How did you come up with the title?
Melania Trump: The inside Story seemed like an obvious choice, considering we were writing a biography about a personality about whom not much is know yet. The second part of the title simply refers to the history of her background, it is there to provide a historical context.
How much of the book is realistic?
Everything is realistic. All the information in the unauthorized biography is accurate.
What books have most influenced your life most?
Biographies and non-fiction works of great historical and contemporary figures.
If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
I would say Ernest Hemingway. In part because of his lifestyle, even if we are talking about an entirely different era and time.
Hoodwinking Churchill, Tito's Great Confidence Trick. It was written by a British journalist Peter Batty. When I'm finished with this, I'm planning on reading Amazon by Brad Stone. It's a story about Jeff Bezos, CEO and founder of Amazon.
If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your latest book?
There are always little things we could change, but I think of every book as as a product of its time and the specific context it was written in. I am considering a sequel though.
Who designed the covers?
The covers were designed by a talented duo Hercog-Martini from Ljubljana; they've won several design awards and both Mateja and Nina are very good acquaintances of mine. They've also designed books written by my co-author Igor Omerza.
What was the hardest part of writing your book?
Mostly the pressure of getting the book out in time and the fact that it's very politically relevant in this very moment due to the presidential campaign.

/ Worcester, Edward Somerset, 6th earl and 2d marquess of
Worcester, Edward Somerset, 6th earl and 2d marquess of
Worcester, Edward Somerset, 6th earl and 2d marquess of wo͝os´tər [key], 1601?–1667, English soldier and inventor. Known as Lord Herbert after 1628, he received the title earl of Glamorgan in 1644 and succeeded as earl and marquess of Worcester in 1646. Sent to raise royalist troops in Ireland, Glamorgan, himself a Roman Catholic, exceeded his instructions when he signed (1645) on behalf of Charles I a treaty with the Irish Roman Catholics that would have given them freedom of worship. This treaty proved so offensive to the Protestant royalists that Charles repudiated it. Worcester went to France in 1648 and was imprisoned for two years on his return to England (1652). Most of his estates were returned to him at the Restoration (1660). He was interested in mechanical experiments, which he described in a long treatise, and is said to have invented a steam engine.


FJ has a ton of channels, but none for fellow sport lovers. This is a channel to debate the NFL, NCAA football, NBA, MLB, and NHL. Also, we need more sports related comics here. There are a few already, and they're usually really funny.

The book has renewed my interest in Roosevelt. At first I thought I could not read one more book about him, but this one approaches him from a completely different way making him more human.
This was very long and slow. I understand that much of the material was gathered from letters/writtings from the time but found this brought very little excitement to a what should have had me on the edge of my seat. I found that I was slumped over my seat with boredom.
This book was great. I learned a lot on many levels.
Compiled from diaries and letters an interesting review of history and what transpired between these two men, their personalities and what made them "tick"


After introducing it to my two friends, we spent a night beating it. Well, my one friend went 100 yards dragging his right leg the whole way, but it was deemed fine by the game.
After you give up on that, check out this funny GIF.
A hilarious look into LeBron James' email account from the guy who wrote Sh*t My Dad Says, Justin Halpern.
Last Wednesday, a Denver man was awarded $7.2 million for being diagnosed with "popcorn lung," possibly from inhaling the artificial butter smell of the microwave popcorn he ate. This has got to be up there with the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit, which had just a $2.9 million verdict, because the man kind of asked for it, eating two to three bags of microwave popcorn every day for ten years.
In a post-verdict interview, he remarks that he "probably looks like a fairly healthy guy." Yeah, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't find anyone to agree with you, but have fun with your millions.

Crisis averted: what to do on the plane!
Since the US and UK banned laptops and tablets from the airplane cabins on flights originating in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia, I've read some really daft articles addressing the desperate question: what can I do on the plane?
Here's one, from Bloomberg: Hacks to Survive a Twenty Hour Flight – without a laptop or tablet!
One answer might be: read a book. Revolutionary? Perhaps all first class travel could look like this?
Here's my list for travellers coming out of Turkey:
Three Daughters of Eve by Elif Shafak
The latest novel by the wonderful Elif Shafak, who first burst onto the scene with her punchy, funny and tragic novel, The Bastard of Istanbul. Elif writes about women negotiating their power and their position in a man's world, and she does it with sly humour, tenderness, and a wonderful feel for historical time and place. The action kicks off when a beggar snatches the handbag of a wealthy Turkish housewife on her way to a smart Istanbul dinner party. Out drops an old photo… and with it, a life and love that Peri has tried to forget.
Istanbul: Poetry of Place, edited by Ates Orga
Packed with poetry and a little prose, all set in the former capital of the Byzantine and the Ottoman empires, Istanbul: Poetry of Place brings you the voices of the city's inhabitants, from sultans to modern-day feminists.
Snow by Orhan Pamuk
Complex, fragmentary, unreliable and poetic, this thoroughly postmodern novel abounds with puns, ironies, double-takes and imponderable conflicts of love, faith and social justice, reflecting not only aspects of the human condition but also of 20th-century Turkey's preoccupations with secularism, religious freedom and revolution. In the city of Kars, a young journalist, Ka, comes to investigate a spate of suicides relating to the wearing of headscarves – and opens up a kaleidoscopic world of claims, counter-claims and conflicting priorities.
Turkey: a Short History by Norman Stone
A fanfare for modern Turkey and a vivid, provocative, often funny, always insightful account of how it came about. Stone pulls together his accomplishments as a philoturk, a philologist, controversialist and narrative historian to sweep his readers along a short crash course in Turkish origins, their history and current challenges. If you don't really know why a portrait of Ataturk hangs in almost every shop in Turkey, read this book.
Constantinople: City of the World's Desire by Philip Mansel
The definitive history of the city from 1453, by one of our finest historians, also explains how a multi-ethnic, polyglot empire was controlled by a single dynasty for more than 600 years. Mansel mines a vast range of sources to bring the fashions, pomp and politics of this ancient world capital to life.
Birds without Wings by Louis de Bernières
I keep picking this up – and putting it down again, because I can't quite face the onrushing tragedy. Needless to say, it's the story of a doomed love affair between Philotei and Ibrahim, as relations between Greece and Turkey collapse in the First World War; prelude to the massive population exchange of 1923, which ended Greek settlement of Asia Minor. Gallipoli is in it; so is Ataturk; so are some characters from Captain Corelli's Mandolin. De Bernières insists this is the better book and I believe him.
Eothen by AW Kinglake
The title, which means "from the east" is, as the author points out, the hardest thing in the book, a sly travel account purporting to be written by a Victorian hooray which makes for spectacularly funny reading. Jonathan Raban has described the narrator as having the "sensibility of someone who is a close blood-relative of Flashman": witness his thoroughly waspish account of a meeting with Lady Hester Stanhope. Typical, too, is his insouciance towards the plague in Cairo, which claims his heroic doctor while the narrator survives unmoved.
A Short History of Byzantium by John Julius Norwich
The three volumes of his magisterial history, boiled down into one, may seem too condensed at times, but Norwich deftly and entertainingly outlines the often outrageous story of an empire that lasted 1,123 years and 18 days. It is as good on Byzantine art and church matters as on the peccadilloes of the emperors – and their triumphs.
Rebel Land by Christopher de Bellaigue
Caught up in a journalistic furore after his mention of the Armenian massacres that occurred in the dying days of the Ottoman empire, de Bellaigue decided to find out for himself what may have happened. He settled on – and in – the town of Varto, which once had a huge Armenian population. Without delivering any final answers, de Bellaigue's beautifully written account of his experiences with locals, secret policemen and even exiles still sheds light on this intractable issue, if only to illuminate the complexity of the situation both then and now.
The Sultan's Seal by Jenny White
The first of the Kamil Pasha detective stories, set in the dying days of the Ottoman Empire, kicks off with a body on the beach. Kamil Pasha, the Anglophile Ottoman detective, must draw together the threads of this murder and of an older, unsolved crime, sifting through the murky waters of late Ottoman politics and society. Sequels are The Abyssinian Proof and The Winter Thief.
Yashim: Don't forget that all five Yashim novels are available as a set from Amazon.com and from Amazon.co.uk – and in dozens of languages, too. Meanwhile The Janissary Tree and The Snake Stone are published in Turkey by Pegasus as Yeniceri Agaci and Yılanlı Sütun

Sight helps you savor taste even longer. By proposing a completely new lifestyle of adorning taste with vision, an extraordinarily special space is created that is good for the soul. Moreover, holding a glass with such a unique appearance is bound to become a topic at the dinner table, letting you deepen communication.

It's Flash Fiction Friday! Woohoo!
"I don't believe…" John said. His body shook. Rage. Pain. Fear.
The man lifted one finger. John stopped shaking. Something invisible squeezed around his limbs, his chest.
"You wanted to talk." John said in a choked voice.
"Enough, liar and thief." A distant voice said. Unknown. Beautiful. And it filled John with hope.
I've really enjoyed this story. The pie looks outstanding, as well.
Ah yes, pumpkin…one of the reasons I love autumn.
I'll never turn food down, even if it isn't homemade!

News Release 10-Mar-2022
Rear-end collision on the "ribosome highway"
Researchers identify bacterial protein that senses and rescues "stalled" ribosomes

As a molecular machine found in the cells of all organisms, the ribosome is responsible for making new proteins. It reads the blueprint for a certain protein on a messenger molecule – known as messenger RNA (mRNA) – and then converts this information into new proteins. For a number of reasons, this process can fail, leaving the ribosome stalled on the mRNA and bringing synthesis of the protein to a halt. An international research team led by scientists from the Center for Molecular Biology of Heidelberg University (ZMBH) has now identified a bacterial protein called MutS2 that senses and rescues these stuck protein factories. The fact that the next ribosome on the mRNA chain collides with the stalled ribosome plays a key role.
The blueprints of proteins are stored in the DNA in the cell nucleus, where they are transcribed into mRNA. Bearing the genetic information for a specific protein, the mRNA leaves the nucleus and is transported to the ribosomes, where its information is converted into proteins. "Sometimes ribosomes can get stuck reading the blueprints owing to a defective mRNA molecule, for instance. This is particularly problematic because unfinished proteins are potentially toxic to the cell," explains ZMBH molecular biologist and working group leader Prof. Dr Claudio Joazeiro. "That is why cells have developed mechanisms that detect stalled ribosomes and mark the incomplete proteins for destruction while still in their birthplace, the ribosome."
Using high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy, the researchers decoded a major step in this process with the aid of the common soil bacterium, Bacillus subtilis. They were able to precisely characterise how the MutS2 protein, found in nearly one third of all bacteria species, senses stalled ribosomes. MutS2 detects the collision between the stuck ribosome and the next one on the mRNA – a process which ZMBH junior research group leader Dr Stefan Pfeffer likens to a rear-end collision caused by a stalled vehicle on the highway, thus catching the attention of the police.
To rescue ribosomes stuck on the mRNA, MutS2 follows two independent strategies, according to the researchers. "On one hand, MutS2 cuts the mRNA molecule, which subjects it to degradation. On the other hand, MutS2 separates the ribosome into its two subunits, so that it can be recycled for later rounds of protein synthesis. At the same time, the so-called ribosome-associated protein quality control marks the unfinished protein for destruction," explains Dr Pfeffer. Prof. Joazeiro emphasises that this quality control mechanism is conserved from bacteria to humans. "We thus expect that the understanding of this fundamental process in bacteria will shed light on disease mechanisms in mammals, where failure to degrade unfinished proteins is associated with neurodegeneration and neuromuscular diseases," adds the researcher.
In addition to the ZMBH researchers from Heidelberg, scientists from the University of Cologne as well as Scripps Research in Florida (USA) also participated in the study. Funding was provided by the US National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the German Research Foundation, the European Union in the context of "Horizon 2020", the Aventis Foundation and the Chica and Heinz Schaller Foundation. The results of the study were published in the journal Nature.

On accountability
The word "accountability" gets a bad rap. It's often confusing—does it mean the same thing as being responsible? (Sometimes, yes, but not always.) Is saying that someone is accountable the same thing as saying they are the final decision maker? (Not necessarily.) Is the accountable person the one who gets fired when things go wrong? (Hopefully not.) Sidney Dekker has a better framing:
In both retributive and restorative approaches, people are held accountable for their actions. Nobody gets "off the hook." Retributive justice asks what a person must do to compensate for his or her action and its consequences: the account is something the person has to settle. Restorative justice achieves accountability by listening to multiple accounts and looking ahead at what must be done to repair the trust and relationships that were harmed. This makes it important for others to understand why it made sense for the person to do what they did. Their account is something to tell. This also offers an opportunity to express remorse. Restorative approaches are open to multiple voices, and are willing to see practitioners not as offenders or causes of an incident, but as recipients or inheritors of organizational, operational, or design issues that could set up others for failure too. Restorative approaches are therefore more likely to identify the deeper conditions that allowed an incident to happen. They are better at combining accountability and learning at making them work in each other's favor. Where retributive approaches to a just culture meet hurt with more hurt, restorative approaches meet hurt with healing, and with learning.
Dekker, Just Culture, page x
The notion of an account as something you tell transforms accountability from a nebulous set of responsibilities or duties or punishments into a clear and explicit directive. It remains, of course, a non-trivial task: Dekker goes on to talk at length about how to build systems where accountability, in the restorative justice context, is possible. Much of the difficulty can be ascribed to the ever-present instinct towards retribution, which seeks easy conclusions at the expense of understanding. But while accountability in the retributive context promises that someone will be punished, only restorative accountability offers the hope of preventing future harm. That ought to make it an easy tradeoff; that it still isn't in most organizations shows how deep the commitment to retribution runs in our cultures. It also lights up where we have work to do.
Stanley Dekker
Drawing from safety practices in transportation and medicine, Sidney Dekker outlines how to (and how not to) create a culture of trust, learning, and accountability.

Urbici Soler (Urbici Soler i Manonelles) (1890–1953) was an American sculptor and art educator. He is remembered chiefly for Cristo Rey ('Christ the King'), a monumental statue of Jesus on the cross atop Mount Cristo Rey in the El Paso suburb of Sunland Park, New Mexico, which he completed in 1939 and which is a site of Roman Catholic pilgrimage.

Life

Urbici Soler was born on June 21, 1890, in Ferran, Lleida, in Catalonia, Spain. He was a student of Pere Carbonell i Huguet. Soler also studied at night at the Escola de la Llotja in Barcelona. In 1913, Soler became a student of Adolph von Hildebrand in Munich. He completed his first monumental sculpture, Princess María de la Paz, in 1918, and also studied with Emile Antoine Bourdelle in Paris before returning to Spain, when he was called to South America. Soler's most important collection, The World, is a study of the native peoples of Mexico, Central America, and South America. The Spanish Civil War prevented his return to Spain. In 1937 he was called to work on Christ the King.

Soler was twice married, including a brief marriage in 1940 to Bettie Binkley of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Neither marriage was successful. He then moved to New Orleans, California, New York, and South America in 1943, returning to El Paso in 1945 to attempt further work on Christ the King, and joined the faculty of the Texas School of Mines, now called the University of Texas at El Paso. He became a US citizen in 1949. Soler built a house at the foot of Mount Cristo Rey in Anapra, New Mexico, (now part of Sunland Park) and lived there until his death on January 15, 1953. The Texas Historical Commission placed a marker at his gravesite in Evergreen Cemetery in El Paso in 1984.

The statue Christ the King

The statue Christ the King was inspired by a papal call for mementos of the 1900th anniversary of the coming of Christ. The project was begun at the behest of Father Lourdes Costa, pastor of the Smeltertown parish, which covered both the New Mexico and the Texas sides of the Rio Grande. Costa got funding from the Diocese of El Paso to purchase  from the New Mexico Public Land Office for the statue, and to build a cross. Costa first erected a wood cross, then a steel cross built by the efforts of the Smeltertown parish, on the summit of Cerro de Muleros (now called Mount Cristo Rey), the northernmost peak of the Juarez Mountains, located on the border of the United States and Mexico. Costa, like Soler, was Catalan, and Soler stayed with him while working on the statue.

The statue is  tall including a  base and is composed of concrete, steel and Cordovan cream limestone which was quarried near Austin, Texas. The blocks were chosen by Soler and winched up the mountain. Soler carved it on-site with an air chisel. The head of the statue is elongated so that the figure appears of natural proportions when viewed from below. The statue is not technically a crucifix, as the palms of Christ face downward in a gesture of blessing. The statue was completed in 1939 and dedicated in 1940. The diocese ran short of money, but Soler completed the front of the statue with his own funds.

After the success of the project, Cerro de Muleros (Mule Drivers' Mountain) was renamed Mount Cristo Rey. In 1991, a lightning strike damaged the statue and dislodged several  limestone blocks, which were retrieved from down the mountainside.

Dyers Pass Road runs from the Southern end of Colombo Street at the roundabout with Colombo St, Cashmere & Centaurus roads and winds up the city side of the Port Hills and down the harbour side to Governors Bay.
During its course it crosses Hackthorne Road and later joins with it at the Sign of the Takahe. It skirts the length of Victoria Park and crosses the Summit Road at the Sign of the Kiwi. The Harry Elll walkway runs parallel to the road from Victoria Park to the Sign of the Kiwi.
The road is one of the oldest ways over the hill. Maori used it to travel to their villages and pallisaded pa at Governors Bay (Ohinetahi).
It was first used by Pakeha as a horse track. Road formation was undertaken by the Provincial Government from 1862-63.
It was formerly known as Governors Bay Road, a name which now applies to the road from Lyttelton to Governors Bay.
Dyers Pass Road is named after John Dyer (1828-1876) who bought several parcels of land in Governors Bay.

The Like-o-Meter gives Facebook updates the thumbs up
Nicholas Echevarria
By now, Facebook has become a part of normal, everyday life for 1.7 billion people and businesses around the world, a testament to the company's original vision of connecting the globe. Still, people who use Facebook fall into two camps: those for whom it plays a very cursory role, and those for whom Facebook is an essential part of their social and professional lives.
For the latter, the idea of more wholly integrating the Facebook experience into their real-world isn't one that scares them, which is why the Like-o-Meter is a campaign that would appeal to them. It brings the well-known 'Like' icon into the real-world, wirelessly connecting to a user's Facebook account and physically moving its high-quality plastic thumb to signal a fresh like.
While the Like-o-Meter is a bit of a one-trick pony, it makes for a fun, silly addition to any Facebook fan's decor and doesn't throw guests off as much as a rainbow-expelling unicorn despite the versatility of social platforms it supports. Each Like-o-Meter will run backers about $23 and is expected to ship in December 2016. Its Kickstarter campaign is looking for about $11,200 by September 4th, 2016 should people like it enough.

Tyler Perry Opens Up About His New Girlfriend in August 2011 Ebony Magazine
BaRock Odrama
Published July 13th, 2011 at 2:06 pm
Tyler Perry has a special lady in his life.
In a brand new interview with Ebony magazine for their upcoming August 2011 issue, the filmmaker opened up about his new romance.
"She's really, really special. It's the longest relationship I've been in," he says in his cover story.
Surprisingly … back in December, Perry thought he had a child on the way. Now he says it would be sad to come this far and not have any.
"This isn't the reason to have children, but it would be really sad to work this hard to build something and not be able to pass it on to my junior, to my sons, to my daughters. Back in December, when we thought we were having a kid," he revealed. "I got a little overwhelmed. Now, I got overwhelmed when I first got a dog because I knew I was responsible for this living creature. So think how I reacted to the thought of having a child."
Tyler also spoke on Spike Lee and how he's done with all the beef.
"I'm going to be more respectful of him and his family," he told Ebony. "I believe Spike can do what he does and I can do what I do.… There's room for more than one of us in every industry and the moment we embrace that as a society, we can get past all this stuff."
Glad to hear that all is well with Mr. Perry!

Fugitive Slave Law
Enacted by Congress in 1793 and 1850, these laws provided for the return of escaped slaves to their owners. The North was lax about enforcing the 1793 law, with irritated the South no end. The 1850 law was tougher and was aimed at eliminating the underground railroad.
A system that helped enslaved African Americans follow a network of escape routes out of the South to freedom in the North
(1) California admitted as free state, (2) territorial status and popular sovereignty of Utah and New Mexico, (3) resolution of Texas-New Mexico boundaries, (4) federal assumption of Texas debt, (5) slave trade abolished in DC, and (6) new fugitive slave law; advocated by Henry Clay and Stephen A. Douglas

California gold rush
1849 (San Francisco 49ers) Gold discovered in California attracted a rush of people all over the country and world to San Francisco; arrival of the Chinese; increased pressure on fed gov. to establish a stable gov. in CA
Seventh of March Speech
This was a famous speech given by Daniel Webster when he was trying to work out the Compromise of 1850. In it, he fought for compromise. He asked for a stricter fugitive slave law and said that there was no need to legislate slavery in the territories because the land was not fit for it. His speech became widely printed and read, and it increased the popularity of Union and compromise.

Jobless Innovation?
CareersTopicTypeOpinion
As the United States tries to ride high tech out of recession, does it risk innovating its workforce out of jobs?
G. Pascal Zachary
innovationengineering careersengineering jobsAndy Grove
In a crisis, Americans always ask technology to come to the rescue. Military threat? Send in the drones. Health-care scare? Declare war on cancer and race for an AIDS vaccine. Energy shortage? Harness the sun and wind.
So inevitably, when the United States experiences the highest levels of unemployment since the 1930s, and there are few signs of improvement, the call for more technology—for more R&D–driven innovation—is heard from all directions. No greater orator than President Barack Obama has asked the country to seize what he calls our "Sputnik moment"—and invest more heavily in new technologies, just as the United States did in the years following the Soviet Union's dramatic launch of the first orbiting spacecraft in 1957. Twelve years later, Americans landed on the moon.
"The first step in winning the future is encouraging American innovation," Obama told the nation in his State of the Union address in January.
He added: "None of us can predict with certainty what the next big industry will be, or where the new jobs will come from. Thirty years ago, we couldn't know that something called the Internet would lead to an economic revolution. What we can do—what America does better than anyone—is spark the creativity and imagination of our people."
Obama's encouragement is valuable. Creating more permanent jobs from the already massive government spending on R&D—exceeding US $100 billion a year under even the most conservative estimates—is a worthy aim. Better pharmaceuticals, keener information-technology tools, more-compelling energy alternatives and lower-cost, more durable infrastructure technologies—all these could deliver important employment gains. Yet doubts abound that the stubborn Great American Job Bust—and the gloomy employment outlook even for highly educated new university graduates—won't be cured by Obama's insistence that Americans "out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world."
The simplest explanation for the employment crisis is "jobless innovation." Exciting new technologies are coming onto the market, but they don't appear to require many people. The new generation of Internet stars, for instance, employ far fewer people than the older tech titans. And Silicon Valley, which remains by far the most fertile innovation cluster in the world, has experienced sharp declines in employment over the past 10 years. The Bureau of Labor Statistics found in 2010 that high-tech employment in Silicon Valley (including biotechnology) fell by a staggering 19 percent over the course of the 2000s and that Silicon Valley wages also fell, nearly 14 percent.
The decline in jobs and wages occurred, all the more shockingly, alongside the revival of Silicon Valley as a global innovation center. Not only did the area spawn major new companies, such as Twitter and Facebook, but it also saw a startling series of victories by Apple in the new arenas of the iPod, then the iPhone, and most recently the iPad. And yet despite achieving stunning dominance in smartphones and tablet computers, Apple today employs 10 workers in China for every worker in the United States.
The trend toward jobless innovation in Silicon Valley provoked Andy Grove, cofounder and former CEO of Intel, to grouse in a piece for Bloomberg BusinessWeek last year that "the U.S. has become wildly inefficient at creating American tech jobs." Grove, an icon of innovation, also complained about the United States' "misplaced faith in the power of [technology] start-ups to create U.S. jobs."
The jobless-innovation phenomenon results partly from globalization. Grove points to two related problems: Breakthroughs made by Americans in the United States are increasingly scaled up in Asia, robbing the country of expected employment benefits. More significant innovations are arising offshore, too, Grove reports, so that "scaling and innovation take place overseas."
Scholars have labeled this phenomenon "the offshoring of innovation." They point to a marked rise in R&D activities in China and India especially, but also notably in Brazil, Indonesia, Russia, South Africa, and other rapidly growing economies. Offshoring creates a significant drag on U.S. employment, scholars say. A new book,The Global Auction: The Broken Promises of Education, Jobs, and Incomes, published in December by Phillip Brown, Hugh Lauder, and David Ashton, argues that there now exists an ample pool of "cheap brainpower," outside the United States, largely in low-wage countries, with predictable effects on the U.S. labor market.
With so much R&D now occurring in India, China, and other parts of Asia (and also in Brazil, Russia, and South Africa), new graduates of science, math and engineering programs in the United States experience "career uncertainty," reports Ron Hira, a professor of public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology, in New York. In response to poorer job prospects, Hira has found an "astounding" decline in undergraduate computer-science enrollments, for instance, suggesting to him that a supply-side approach to employment—producing more graduates in computer science—may produce only more unemployed computer scientists.
Others have found similarly troubling statistics for engineering education. One recent study of engineering schools, cited by Andrew Hacker, a shrewd analyst of contemporary America, in a new essay entitled "Where Will We Find the Jobs?" reported that "from 37 percent to 66 percent of [engineering students in various universities] did not finish with a degree in the field." Hacker raises a heretical question: Will more educated people produce more innovations, or will they even better their employment prospects?
Applying more technology to cure the jobs crisis carries another paradox. Many emerging technologies destroy jobs, in a process that the Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter famously labeled " creative destruction."
Examples of job-destroying innovations are legion. Voice-recognition software is improving so rapidly that some telephone customer services are provided by computer networks. Meter reading in some cities now occurs automatically; a Wi-Fi antenna, attached to a smart meter, broadcasts electricity usage onto the Internet. And then there is an emerging new manufacturing technology: three-dimensional printing,> modeled on computer printing, which is already being used to build prototypes. The technique carries the potential to revolutionize manufacturing by reducing both the need for factory workers and costly materials, because it uses such materials—for instance, a powdered form of titanium—far more efficiently than conventional means.
That innovations destroy jobs as well as create them challenges a major assumption behind the United States' secular faith, calling scientists and engineers to the rescue of society. Faith in the bounty of technological innovation is central to American optimism, a bipartisan doctrine. "We are the nation that put cars in driveways and computers in offices; the nation of Edison and the Wright brothers; of Google and Facebook," Obama declared in his State of the Union address. "In America, innovation doesn't just change our lives. It's how we make a living."
But when innovations undermine the livelihoods of Americans, fears of new technologies, and especially automation, are understandable. Such fears have periodically traumatized Americans. In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, politicians and even engineers openly worried that the fruits of their labors might render their fellow human beings irrelevant. The Technocracy movement, led by self-styled prophets of automation and propelled by what historian Edwin T. Layton Jr. termed "the revolt of the engineers," thrived on worries that mass unemployment would become permanent and that American poverty could be combated only by handing power to a technoscientific elite. In the 1950s, the advent of mainframe computers in business spawned a new anxiety—that "machinery of the mind" would replace people who did perfunctory mental tasks. TV commercials extolling the power of mainframe computers, notably a series by IBM, stoked fresh fears in the early 1960s.

To be sure, automation scares passed, and technology-driven job growth in the 1980s and 1990s eroded the credibility of pessimists. But ever more powerful computer networks are once more igniting paranoia. Observing the humanlike reasoning abilities of IBM's Watson, Fortune magazine asked in February, " Will IBM's Watson computer put your job in jeopardy?"
The unsettling scenario that jobless innovation will coincide with a wave of job-destroying innovation stands as a stark rejoinder to techno-optimists who openly espouse a belief in technology to deliver full (or greater) employment. The alternative to promoting innovation no matter what is tricky. How can Americans capture more of the employment associated with job-expanding innovations? The answers aren't yet clear. But what is clear ought to cause a serious reexamination of the traditional equation of technological innovation with healthy markets for jobs. As Hacker concludes, "we are moving to a new employment era where old assumptions won't apply."
One of those assumptions could well be that more innovation will mean less prosperity in the United States, even in an America that is home to the world's most innovative companies. Startlingly, this scenario isn't even the darkest for the best-educated Americans, because at least in this future the United States remains the world's technological leader.

Asad Madni and the Life-Saving Sensor
His pivot from defense helped a tiny tuning-fork prevent SUV rollovers and plane crashes
Tekla S. Perry
In 1992, Asad M. Madni sat at the helm of BEI Sensors and Controls, overseeing a product line that included a variety of sensor and inertial-navigation devices, but its customers were less varied—mainly, the aerospace and defense electronics industries.
And he had a problem.
The Cold War had ended, crashing the U.S. defense industry. And business wasn't going to come back anytime soon. BEI needed to identify and capture new customers—and quickly.
Getting those customers would require abandoning the company's mechanical inertial-sensor systems in favor of a new, unproven quartz technology, miniaturizing the quartz sensors, and turning a manufacturer of tens of thousands of expensive sensors a year into a manufacturer of millions of cheaper ones.
Madni led an all-hands push to make that happen—and succeeded beyond what anyone could have imagined with the GyroChip. This inexpensive inertial-measurement sensor was the first such device to be incorporated into automobiles, enabling electronic stability-control (ESC) systems to detect skidding and operate the brakes to prevent rollover accidents. According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in the five-year period spanning 2011 to 2015, with ESCs being built into all new cars, the systems saved 7,000 lives in the United States alone.
The device went on to serve as the heart of stability-control systems in countless commercial and private aircraft and U.S. missile guidance systems, too. It even traveled to Mars as part of the Pathfinder Sojourner rover.

For pioneering the GyroChip, and for other contributions in technology development and research leadership, Madni received the 2022 IEEE Medal of Honor.
Engineering wasn't Madni's first choice of profession. He wanted to be a fine artist—a painter. But his family's economic situation in Mumbai, India (then Bombay) in the 1950s and 1960s steered him to engineering—specifically electronics, thanks to his interest in recent innovations embodied in the pocket-size transistor radio. In 1966 he moved to the United States to study electronics at the RCA Institutes in New York City, a school created in the early 1900s to train wireless operators and technicians.
"I wanted to be an engineer who would invent things," Madni says, "one who would do things that would eventually affect humanity. Because if I couldn't affect humanity, I felt that I would have an unfulfilling career."
After two years completing the electronics technology program at the RCA Institutes, Madni went on to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), receiving a B.S. in electrical engineering in 1969. He continued on to a master's and a Ph.D., using digital signal processing along with frequency-domain reflectometry to analyze telecommunications systems for his dissertation research. While studying, he also worked variously at Pacific States University as an instructor, at Beverly Hills retailer David Orgell in inventory management, and at Pertec as an engineer designing computer peripherals.
Then, in 1975, newly engaged and at the insistence of a former classmate, he applied for a job in Systron Donner's microwave division.
Madni's started at Systron Donner by designing the world's first spectrum analyzer with digital storage. He had never actually used a spectrum analyzer before—these were very expensive instruments at the time—but he knew enough about the theory to talk himself into the job. He then spent six months working in testing, picking up practical experience with the instruments before attempting to redesign one.
The project took two years and, Madni reports, led to three significant patents that started his climb "to bigger and better things." It also taught him, he says, an appreciation for the difference between "what it is to have theoretical knowledge and what it is to commercialize technology that can be helpful to others."
He went on to develop numerous RF and microwave systems and instrumentation for the U.S. military, including an analyzer for communications lines and attached antennas built for the Navy, which became the basis for his doctoral research.
Though he moved quickly into the management ranks, eventually climbing to chairman, president, and CEO of Systron Donner, former colleagues say he never entirely left the lab behind. His technical mark was on every project he became involved in, including the groundbreaking work that led to the GyroChip.
Before we talkabout the little quartz sensor that became the heart of the GyroChip, here's a little background on the inertial-measurement units of the 1990s. An IMU measures several properties of an object: its specific force (the acceleration that's not due to gravity); its angular rate of rotation around an axis; and, sometimes, its orientation in three-dimensional space.
The GyroChip enabled electronic stability-control systems in automobiles to detect skidding and prevented countless rollover accidents. Peter Adams
In the early 1990s, the typical IMU used mechanical gyroscopes for angular-rate sensing. A package with three highly accurate spinning mass gyroscopes was about the size of a toaster oven and weighed about a kilogram. Versions that used ring-laser gyroscopes or fiber-optic gyroscopes were somewhat smaller, but all high-accuracy optical and mechanical gyros of the time cost thousands of dollars.
So that was the IMU in 1990, when Systron Donner sold its defense-electronics businesses to BEI Technologies, a publicly traded spinoff of BEI Electronics, itself a spinoff of the venerable Baldwin Piano Co. The device was big, heavy, expensive, and held moving mechanical parts that suffered from wear and tear, affecting reliability.
Shortly before the sale, Systron Donner had licensed a patent for a completely different type of rate sensor from a group of U.S. inventors. It was little more than a paper design at the time, Madni says, but the company had started investing some of its R&D budget in implementing the technology.
The design centered on a tiny, dual-ended vibrating tuning fork carved out of quartz using standard silicon-wafer-processing techniques. The tines of the fork would be deflected by the Coriolis effect, the inertial force acting on an object as it resists being pulled from its plane of rotation. Because quartz has piezoelectric properties, changes in forces acting upon it cause changes in electric charge. These changes could be converted into measurements of angular velocity.
The project continued after Systron Donner's divisions became part of BEI, and in the early 1990s BEI was manufacturing some 10,000 quartz gyroscopic sensors annually for a classified defense project. But with the fall of the Soviet Union and ensuing rapid contraction of the U.S. defense industry, Madni worried that there would be no more customers—at least for a long time—for these tiny new sensors or even for the traditional mechanical sensors that were the main part of the division's business.
"We had two options," Madni recalls. "We stick out in the sands and peacefully die, which would be a shame, because nobody else has this technology. Or we find somewhere else we can use it."
"If I couldn't affect humanity, I felt that I would have an unfulfilling career."
The hunt was on. Madni says he and members of his research and marketing teams went to every sensors conference they could find, talking to anyone who used inertial sensors, regardless of whether the applications were industrial, commercial, or space. They showed the quartz angular-rate sensors the company had developed, touting their price, precision, and reliability, and laid out a path in which the devices became smaller and cheaper in just a few years. NASA was interested—and eventually used the devices in the Mars Pathfinder Sojourner rover and the systems that allowed astronauts to move about in space untethered. Boeing and other aircraft and avionics-system manufacturers began adopting the devices.
But the automotive industry clearly represented the biggest potential market. In the late 1980s, car companies had begun introducing basic traction-control systems in their high-end vehicles. These systems monitored steering-wheel position, throttle position, and individual wheel speeds, and could adjust engine speed and braking when they detected a problem, such as one wheel turning faster than another. They couldn't, however, detect when the direction of a car's turn on the road didn't match the turn of the steering wheel, a key indicator of an unstable skid that could turn into a rollover.
This quartz tuning fork responds to inertial forces and forms the heart of the GyroChip. Peter Adams
The industry was aware this was a deficiency, and that rollover accidents were a significant cause of deaths from auto accidents. Automotive-electronics suppliers like Bosch were working to develop small, reliable angular-rate sensors, mostly out of silicon, to improve traction control and rollover prevention, but none were ready for prime time.
Madni thought this was a market BEI could win. In partnership with Continental Teves of Frankfurt, Germany, BEI set out to reduce the size and cost of the quartz devices and manufacture them in quantities unheard of in the defense industry, planning to ramp up to millions annually.
This major pivot—from defense to one of the most competitive mass-market industries—would require big changes for the company and for its engineers. Madni took the leap.
"I told the guys, 'We are going to have to miniaturize it. We are going to have to bring the price down—from $1,200 to $1,800 per axis to $100, then to $50, and then to $25. We are going to have to sell it in hundreds of thousands of units a month and then a million and more a month.'"
To do all that, he knew that the design for a quartz-based rate sensor couldn't have one extra component, he says. And that the manufacturing, supply chain, and even sales management had to be changed dramatically.
"I told the engineers that we can't have anything in there other than what is absolutely needed," Madni recalls. "And some balked—too used to working on complex designs, they weren't interested in doing a simple design. I tried to explain to them that what I was asking them to do was more difficult than the complex things they've done," he says. But he still lost some high-level design engineers.
"The board of directors asked me what I was doing, [saying] that those were some of our best people. I told them that it wasn't a question of the best people; if people are not going to adapt to the current needs, what good do they do?"
Others were willing to adapt, and he sent some of those engineers to visit watch manufacturers in Switzerland to learn about handling quartz; the watch industry had been using the material for decades. And he offered others training by experts in the automotive industry, to learn about its operations and requirements.
The changes needed were not easy, Madni remembers. "We have a lot of scars on our back. We went through a hell of a process. But during my tenure, BEI became the world's largest supplier of sensors for automotive stability and rollover prevention."
In the late 1990s, Madni says, the market for electronic stability-control systems exploded, as a result of an incident in 1997. An automotive journalist, testing a new Mercedes on a test track, was performing the so-called elchtest, often referred to as the "elk test": He swerved at normal speed, intending to simulate avoiding a moose crossing the road, and the car rolled over. Mercedes and competitors responded to the bad publicity by embracing stability-control systems, and GyroChip demand skyrocketed.
Thanks to the deal with Continental Teves, BEI held a large piece of the automotive market for many years. BEI wasn't the only game in town at that point—Germany's Bosch had begun producing silicon-based MEMS rate sensors in 1998—but the California company was the only manufacturer using quartz sensors, which at the time performed better than silicon. Today, most manufacturers of automotive-grade rate sensors use silicon, for that technology has matured and such sensors are cheaper to produce.
While manufacturing for the auto market ramped up, Madni continued to look for other markets. He found another big one in the aircraft industry.
The Boeing 737 in the early and mid-'90s had been involved in a series of crashes and incidents that stemmed from unexpected rudder movement. Some of the failures were traced to the aircraft's power control unit, which incorporated yaw-damping technology. While the yaw sensors weren't specifically implicated, the company did need to redesign its PCUs. Madni and BEI convinced Boeing to use BEI's quartz sensors in all of its 737s going forward, as well as retrofitting existing aircraft with the devices. Manufacturers of aircraft for private aviation soon embraced the sensor as well. And eventually the defense business came back.

Today, electronic angular-rate sensors are in just about every vehicle—land, air, or sea. And Madni's effort to miniaturize them and reduce their cost blazed the trail.
By 2005, BEI's portfolio of technologies had made it an attractive target for acquisition. Besides the rate sensors, it had earned acclaim for its development of the unprecedentedly accurate pointing system created for the Hubble Space Telescope. The sensors and control group had expanded into BEI Sensors & Systems Co., of which Madni was CEO and CTO.
"We weren't looking for a buyer; we were progressing extremely well and looking to still grow. But several people wanted to buy us, and one, Schneider Electric, was relentless. They wouldn't give up, and we had to present the deal to the board."
The sale went through in mid-2005 and, after a brief transition period and turning down a leadership position with Schneider Electric, Madni officially retired in 2006.
While Madni says he's been retired since 2006, he actually retired only from industry, crossing over into a busy life in academia. He has served as an honorary professor at six universities, including the Technical University of Crete, the University of Texas at San Antonio, and the University of Waikato, in New Zealand. In 2011, he joined the faculty of UCLA's electrical and computer-engineering department as a distinguished scientist and distinguished adjunct professor and considers that his home institution. He is on campus weekly to meet with his advisees, who are working in sensing, signal processing, AI for sensor design, and ultrawideband high-speed instrumentation. Madni has advised 25 graduate students to date.
One of his former UCLA students, Cejo K. Lonappan, now principal systems engineer at SILC Technologies, says Madni cares a lot about the impact of what his advisees are doing, asking them to write an executive summary of every research project that goes beyond the technology to talk about the bigger picture.
"Many times in academic research, it is easy to get lost in details, in minor things that seem impressive to the person doing the research," Lonappan says. But Madni "cares a lot about the impact of what we are doing beyond the engineering and scientific community—the applications, the new frontiers it opens."
S.K. Ramesh, a professor and former dean of electrical engineering and computer science at California State University, Northridge, has also seen Madni the advisor in action.
"For him," Ramesh says, "it's not just about engineering. It's about engineering the future, showing how to make a difference in people's lives. And he's not discouraged by challenges."
"We had a group of students who wanted to take a headset used in gaming and use it to create a brain-control interface for wheelchair users," Ramesh says. "We spoke to a neurologist, and he laughed at us, said you couldn't do that, to monitor brain waves with a headset and instantaneously transfer that to a motion command. But Prof. Madni looked at it as how do we solve the problem, and even if we can't solve it, along the way we will learn something by trying."
Says Yannis Phillis, a professor at the Technical University of Crete: "This man knows a lot about engineering, but he has a wide range of interests. When we met on Crete for the first time, for example, I danced a solo Zeibekiko; it has roots from ancient Greece. He asked me questions left and right about it, why this, why that. He is curious about society, about human behavior, about the environment—and, broadly speaking, the survival of our civilization."
Madni went into engineering hoping to affect humanity with his work. He is satisfied that, in at least some ways, he has done so.
"The space applications have enhanced the understanding of our universe, and I was fortunate to play a part of that," he says. "My contributions [to automotive safety] in their own humble way have been responsible for saving millions of lives around the world. And my technologies have played a role in the defense and security of our nation. It's been the most gratifying career."

Behavioral economics suggests that our chronic inability to make the daily behavioral changes that can help us lose weight may be the result of "present bias," which is a tendency to value small, immediate rewards over large rewards in the distant future. Patient rewards may overcome present bias by moving the rewards for healthy behaviors forward in time. In a patient reward program, patients are given tangible, timely rewards for achieving specific health goals, such as losing one pound per week over 16 weeks. Meta analyses of randomized trials have found that rewards for weight loss are effective during the reward period, but the weight loss was not sustained after the reward was removed. Thus, the key challenge to a reward program is not achieving weight loss, but maintaining it. The proposed study tests the hypothesis that the significant weight regain found in prior reward trials can be attributed to use of financial rewards-e.g., cash or the equivalent of cash-in those trials. Experiments in behavioral economics have found that providing subjects with financial rewards for participating in a study invokes behavior defined by reciprocity-the effort the subjects gave in the study was proportional to the amount of money that they were given. When subjects were given non-financial rewards, they exhibited no reciprocity-the effort was consistently high and did not vary with the quantity of the non-financial reward. By using financial rewards, prior trials may have invoked money-market norms of reciprocity, such that patients' efforts toward weight loss were high when rewards were offered, and reduced when they were discontinued. We hypothesize that non-financial rewards, like tickets to a Seattle Mariners baseball game, will not invoke reciprocity or the consequent weight regain.
The goal of this study is to test, through a randomized trial, the effectiveness of providing overweight Veterans with financial or non-financial rewards for a one pound weight loss per week over 16 weeks. The primary outcome is weight loss at 32 weeks-16 weeks after the discontinuation of the rewards. Secondary outcomes include weight loss at 16 weeks and 12 months.
We will conduct a three-armed randomized trial of patient rewards for losing one pound per week over 16 weeks. The three treatment groups will receive financial rewards, non-financial rewards, or no rewards. We hypothesize that: 1) patients who receive non-financial rewards for weight loss over 16 weeks will have greater weight loss at 32 weeks than patients who do not receive rewards; 2) patients who receive non-financial rewards for weight loss over 16 weeks will experience weight loss at 16 weeks that is not inferior to the weight loss of patients who receive financial rewards; and 3) weight regain will be greater among patients who received financial rewards compared to patients who received non-financial rewards or no rewards. We will also conduct post-intervention qualitative interviews and perform a cost analysis.
We expect to have preliminary findings in the next 9 months.
Three of every four Veterans are overweight or obese, and weight loss is associated with reduced morbidity and mortality. This proposed study will test whether a patient reward program that gives Veterans non-financial rewards, for losing one pound per week over 16 weeks is effective. An effective patient-incentive program could help more Veterans lose weight without requiring a substantial increase in VA staff. A sub-analysis will include digital scales and wireless scales.
