Spicer: "Under Obama We Were Too Weak; Now With A Strong Leader Such As Trump We're Absolutely Ready For WWIII"
NewsLo
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Friday declined to say whether Donald Trump was still concerned about starting World War III by taking action against the Assad regime in Syria. Throughout the campaign, Trump warned against the U.S. taking military action in Syria, arguing that America should never have gotten involved in the Middle East in the first place. In a lengthy Oct. 7, 2016 statement, then-candidate Trump warned that his rival, Hillary Clinton would "start a shooting war in Syria." "We're spending $6 trillion dollars on wars in the Middle East, while our own country falls into total disrepair," that statement read.
However, when asked to comment on President Trump's airstrike orders during an off-camera press briefing, the press secretary said that Trump "knows what he's doing," as well as that "he is not at all concerned about the possible repercussions" of U.S. military actions in Syria. "It is President Trump's firm belief that the airstrikes were necessary as a show of force, especially since the Russians are present as well," he said. "And if there's anything the president is good at, it's not letting anyone pick on him or, in this case, the country he represents. He is miles away from the impulsive, rash individual many perceived him to be during his presidential campaign."
Spicer continued, "The fact to the matter is, I hate to admit it, but I think many Americans out there are well aware of the fact that our country was simply too weak under Obama, both figuratively and literally. We comforted ourselves – actually, we were told lies – that that's how democracy worked and that that's what it took to make sure America stopped being the most hated country in the world. But I say, the hell with what the world thinks. As a matter of fact, the more countries we have hating us, the better we're doing our job of preserving freedom and democracy throughout the planet. You know what they say, haters gonna hate."
"As for whether or not our military action in Syria is going to be the cause for World War III, I think it's not going to happen," he added. "I think both Syria and Russia are smart enough to know not to mess with the bull, because if you do, you end up getting the horns. But, even if I'm wrong – which I hope I'm not – and WWIII actually starts off because of President Trump's airstrike orders, then I'm not scared one bit and the American people shouldn't be either. There's one very simple reason for that – our president is no longer Obama the Weak; it's Trump the Terrible."
"I'm joking, of course, but he really would be terrible for anyone who dares lay a finger on any one of our citizens or servicemen. Bottom line, I think that with a leader that's as strong and confident as Donald Trump no one would dare mess with us. We're absolutely ready for World War III with Donald Trump as our president; though, I say again, I truly hope it doesn't happen. If it does, I expect to see our president on the front lines, supporting our troops and making sure they're well looked after. The fact that he escaped from being drafted for Vietnam is a fact I think the American people are willing to let slide; he's learned his lesson and he'll be there to orchestrate everything that needs to be done. And because he's a natural-born businessman at the same time, he'll also make sure we profit from it all, both during the war and especially afterwards," Spicer concluded.

We encourage you, and even implore you as Paul did to the Roman believers, to "present yourselves unto the Lord" (Romans 12:1-2). Then faithfully and quickly respond TO HIM as He urges and stirs your heart.

Multiple Tony-winning playwright Terrence McNally dies at 81
by: MARK KENNEDY, Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Terrence McNally, one of America's great playwrights whose prolific career included winning Tony Awards for the plays "Love! Valour! Compassion!" and "Master Class" and the musicals "Ragtime" and "Kiss of the Spider Woman," has died of complications from the coronavirus. He was 81.
McNally died Tuesday at Sarasota Memorial Hospital in Sarasota, Florida, according to representative Matt Polk. McNally was a lung cancer survivor who lived with chronic inflammatory lung disease.
His plays and musicals explored how people connect — or fail to. With wit and thoughtfulness, he tackled the strains in families, war, and relationships and probed the spark and costs of creativity. He was an openly gay writer who wrote about homophobia, love and AIDS.
"I like to work with people who are a lot more talented and smarter than me, who make fewer mistakes than I do, and who can call me out when I do something lazy," he told LA Stage Times in 2013. "A lot of people stop learning in life, and that's their tragedy."
McNally's "Lips Together, Teeth Apart," about two married couples who spend a weekend on Fire Island, was a landmark play about AIDS. His play "The Ritz" became one of the first plays with unapologetic gay characters to reach a mainstream audience.
McNally also explored gay themes in the book for the musical "Kiss of the Spider Woman," for which he won his first Tony Award. His play "Love! Valour! Compassion!" earned him another Tony Award for its portrayal of eight gay men facing issues of fidelity, love and happiness.
"Theater changes hearts, that secret place where we all truly live," he said at the 2019 Tony Awards, where he accepted a lifetime achievement award. "The world needs artists more than ever to remind us what truth and beauty and kindness really are."
F. Murray Abraham, the Oscar-winner who appeared on Broadway in "The Ritz" said of McNally: "His plays are a pleasure to do, but what he says is important, too. And he's like a fountain he keeps on writing and writing and writing."
Tributes pored in online from Broadway figures, including from fellow playwrights Paula Vogel, who called McNally "the soul of kindness" and Lin-Manuel Miranda, who called McNally "a giant in our world, who straddled plays and musicals deftly." Actor Conrad Ricamora describe McNally as "the most kind, brilliant person to work with" and talk show host James Corden tweeted: "He was an absolute gentleman and his commitment to the theater was unwavering. He will be missed by so many of us."
Composer Tom Kitt, who won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for "Next to Normal," told The Associated Press he considers McNally "irreplaceable."
"Terrence was an extraordinary man and a brilliant artist," Kitt said. "He's a true giant in our art form, and he will be missed and we are lucky that we had him and had his art for as long as we did."
In 2018 McNally was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He won four Tonys and an Emmy. New York University gave him an honorary doctorate in 2019.
Andrew D. Hamilton, president of New York University, told the crowd that day that McNally put a "unique stamp on American drama by probing the urgent need for connection that resonates at the core of human experience."
Some of his Broadway musical adaptations include "The Full Monty," adapted from the British film and scored by David Yazbek; "Catch Me if You Can," based on the Steven Spielberg film, and scored by composer and lyricist Marc Shaiman and lyricist Scott Wittman; and "Ragtime," the musical based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow, which won four Tony Awards. In 2017, his musical reworking of the film "Anastasia" landed on Broadway.
Yazbek, in tribute to his collaborator, tweeted it was "honor to know you and doubly to work with you. We will all miss you but thank you for leaving so much great work." Multiple Tony-winner Audra McDonald tweeted to McNally: "The world is not nearly as sweet of a place without you in it. My heart is breaking yet again."
McNally's 2014 Broadway play "Mothers and Sons" — revisiting McNally's 1990 TV movie "Andre's Mother," which won him an Emmy Award — explores the relationship between a mother and her dead son's former gay partner. His "It's Only a Play" was a valentine to theater-making. His "The Visit" was a meditation on revenge.
Brian Stokes Mitchel, who starred in "Ragtime," said McNally's curiosity was ever-present. "He had a wit and he always was engaged in the conversation and always seemed to want to do the right thing," he told The AP. "That curiosity, I think, is one of the hallmarks of great artist and Terrence certainly had that on top of his enormous, enormous heart."
McNally was born in St. Petersburg, Florida, and grew up in Corpus Christi, Texas, listening to radio broadcasts of "The Green Hornet" and the Metropolitan Opera. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Columbia University in 1960 with a degree in English.
McNally was at the Actors Studio when he was hired by novelist John Steinbeck to be a tutor and guardian to his sons. One of McNally's earliest theater attempts was writing the book for a musical adaptation of Steinbeck's "East of Eden" which was called "Here's Where I Belong" and lasted only a single performance on Broadway in 1968.
McNally's first Broadway play "And Things That Go Bump in the Night" didn't fare much better in 1965. His absurdist, symbolic melodrama about good and evil confounded critics. Newsday called it "ugly, perverted, tasteless." It closed in less than three weeks. He was 24.
He rebounded with the 1969 off-Broadway hit "Next," a two-character comedy about a reluctant draftee reporting for an Army physical. A string of successes followed, including "Where Has Tommy Flowers Gone?" (1971), "The Tubs" (1974), "Bad Habits" (1974) and "The Ritz" (1975), a farce set in a gay bathhouse that ran more than a year on Broadway and became McNally's first produced screenplay.
His breakout, "Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune," about a romance between a waitress and short order cook, was later adapted into a film starring Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer. It was revived on Broadway in 2019 starring Audra McDonald.
He collaborated three times with legendary composer John Kander and lyricist Freb Ebb — on "The Rink," "Kiss of the Spider Woman" and "The Visit." Chita Rivera starred in all three.
"A huge part of me is gone," Rivera said in a statement. "But then it's not. Terrence wouldn't like that. He helped to make me who I am as a person. He is the epitome of love and friendship. Only God knows how much I will miss him."
His love of opera informed his works "Golden Age," "The Lisbon Traviata" and "Master Class," which explored the life of opera diva Maria Callas. He also contributed to opera as a librettist — "The Food of Love" in 1999 with music by Robert Beaser, "Dead Man Walking" in 2000 with music by Jake Heggie, and 2015's "Great Scott" with Heggie.
McNally sometimes was controversial, especially with his play "Corpus Christi," which depicts a modern-day Jesus as a homosexual. The Manhattan Theater Club, the first company to consider staging it, received death threats and temporarily canceled the production before enjoying a successful run.
When picking up his "Ragtime" Tony Award, McNally thanked the theater community for its outcry. "You came together when I was in trouble. It was a time of oppression. You came together overnight. Our voices were heard, and we won." Holding his Tony high, he said, "So this is for freedom. Thank you."
McNally and his partner, Thomas Kirdahy, married in Vermont in 2003, and again in Washington, D.C., in 2010.
Kirdahy was a college roommate of New York Mayor Bill De Blasio, who on Tuesday called McNally "someone who epitomizes so much about this city" and "wrote some of the greatest plays in recent memory, but also someone who worked so hard for a better New York City and a better America for all of us."

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — One name missing in President Donald Trump's flurry of pardons is "Tiger King" Joe Exotic.
His team was so confident in a pardon that they had readied a celebratory limousine and a hair and wardrobe team to whisk away the zookeeper-turned-reality-TV-star, who is serving a 22-year federal prison sentence in Texas. But he wasn't on the list announced Wednesday morning.

A full-throated, supremely confident Lady Gaga belted out the national anthem at President Joe Biden's inauguration in a very Gaga way — with flamboyance, fashion and passion.
The Grammy winner wore a large dove pin and an impressively billowing red sculpted skirt as she sang into a golden microphone, delivering an emotional and powerful rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner." She was followed at Wednesday's ceremony by Jennifer Lopez, dressed all in white, with a moving medley of "This Land is Your Land" and "America the Beautiful," throwing in a line in Spanish.
Like so much this past year, the inaugural celebration will be like no other: pared down, distanced, much of it virtual. But for actor Christopher Jackson — the original George Washington in Broadway's "Hamilton" — performing in a virtual "ball" is a way of participating in an essential rite of American democracy.
"I'm glad to play a part in it," says Jackson, who will perform at the quadrennial ball for the Creative Coalition, a fundraiser for arts education and one of the more prominent unofficial events surrounding Joe Biden's inauguration. "It's a great honor, and I'm very grateful that we have allowed our system to continue to work in the way it was intended."

What can be more fun than learning to draw spirals and zig-zags? Patterns and pre-cursive shapes can be challenging for young pupils, but Letter-join has all the resources needed to introduce joined-up handwriting to younger children.
Letter-join's animations present pre-cursive patterns with fun sounds that can be copied by air-writing or by tracing on IWBs, tablets and, most importantly, by practising with a pencil on printed worksheets.
This naturally leads on to the introduction of real letters. Watching and copying the shapes of letters and the various joining techniques will enable pupils to learn to write simple words in a cursive style at this early stage.
It's fun to practice fine motor skills associated with handwriting using Letter-join's Patterns section.
Handwriting can be fun, and using Letter-join can help reinforce cursive handwriting with a variety of fresh activities. To support handwriting at school, pupils can also log into Letter-join at home, accessing all the resources including the touch-screen activities on iPads and tablets.
KS1 is the time to introduce new letterforms (capital letters, numbers, printed letters and punctuation) and Letter-join animates all of these to show the correct formation and provides ready-made worksheets for labelling and form-filling using capital and printed letters.
Pupils should also be looking to produce neater handwriting with consistent spacing and letter sizes as well as learning 'speedy handwriting' which can be practised using Letter-join's dictation exercises.
KS1 pupils can continue to practice cursive handwriting as well as being introduced to new letterforms.
Ready for the final round of handwriting challenges? When pupils master these they'll be true handwriting champions!
Building on KS1 skills, pupils will be writing passages of text neatly and speedily, labelling diagrams using printed letters appropriately and filling in forms using legible writing.
Letter-join's resources will help pupils acquire a feel for neatness and quality in their final handwritten work. The dictation resources will help to develop handwriting stamina when writing.
With the support of Letter-join, pupils will have covered all the criteria necessary by the end of Year 6 to reach the standards set out in the 2014 National Curriculum for handwriting.
KS2 resources include dictation exercises, SPaG worksheets, cloze sentences and statutory word lists.
Letter-join is also suitable for teaching children with Special Educational Needs, especially Dyslexia, as well as adult learners and students learning English as a foreign language.

Q: Close Microsoft Azure Information Protection bar Is there any way to connect Microsoft Azure Information Protection bar closing event with Private Sub Workbook_Open()? There is close button. Is there some way to close it automatically while opening the specific Workbook?

I am able to disable it from:

Here is the code to get Add-In ID:
Sub ListCOMAddins()
Dim lngRow As Long, objCOMAddin As COMAddIn
lngRow = 1
With ActiveSheet
      For Each objCOMAddin In Application.COMAddIns
         .Cells(lngRow, "A").Value = objCOMAddin.Description
         .Cells(lngRow, "B").Value = objCOMAddin.Connect
         .Cells(lngRow, "C").Value = objCOMAddin.progID
         lngRow = lngRow + 1
      Next objCOMAddin
End With
End Sub

Here is the result:

So this one MSIP.ExcelAddin should be disabled, but how? Maybe this can be done on Workbook open by VBA?
You can disable it by VBA if you have admin rights by:
Application.COMAddIns("MSIP.ExcelAddin").Connect = False

However I don't have admin rights to work computer and just disabled it from Add-ins manually and after computer restart it isn't there anymore. Would be good to do it by VBA anyway...

The Vermont judiciary lost around $2 million in three years by failing to collect dues from criminal defendants who are assigned public defenders, Vermont Auditor Doug Hoffer concluded in a report released Monday.
The state collected less than one-third of the $3.1 million in court-ordered fees for public defenders from 2012 through 2014, Hoffer concluded.
"More aggressive action on the part of the judiciary could result in more effective collection of public defender fee debt," Hoffer concluded.
The judiciary, however, took issue with Hoffer's report. Court officials say it may be unconstitutional to aggressively collect payments from poor defendants before assigning them a public defender.
As mandated by the U.S. Constitution, Vermont pays for attorneys for criminal defendants who cannot afford to hire their own. However, defendants are expected to pay a small fee for the services of public defenders. The fee varies based on a defendant's income, and a judge can waive the fee for the most poor, but is usually $50.
For defendants who can pay, state law says that court clerks should seek payment of a portion at their initial court appearance, with the rest paid within two months.
But in practice, Hoffer said, clerks seldom use this collection method. Instead, they typically bill for the fee weeks after the initial court appearance, and rarely receive payment. The judiciary then forwards unpaid debts to the Vermont Department of Taxes, which sometimes takes fees from defendants' tax refunds.
Lawyers who work for the judiciary said that federal courts have ruled that requiring co-payments from indigent defendants before they are assigned attorneys is unconstitutional. They say they have little choice but to seek payment only after the public defender starts working on the case.
"We believe the significance of that concern has been marginalized," Vermont court administrator Patricia Gabel and Chief Superior Judge Brian Grearson wrote in a letter to Hoffer. "The ramifications of denying counsel for nonpayment of a public defender fee are significant. To characterize this as a simple 'constraint,' is a serious understatement."
Though court officials don't believe they can require it, they said they would instruct court clerks to be more aggressive about asking for upfront payment of the public defender fee.
Court officials also suggested that responsibility for collecting the fees be reassigned to the Vermont Defender General's Office, which supervises the public defender program.

Older Americans Can Expect Higher Drug Prices in 2022
Older adults will likely shell out more for healthcare costs in 2022. Medicare beneficiaries will see their premiums for 'Part B,' which covers doctor and urgent-care visits, increase by more than 14%, on top of increasing prescription drug prices.
Richard Frank, senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution, explained a provision outlined in President Joe Biden's Build Back Better Act would penalize companies for raising their prices faster than overall economic growth.
It is a change he believes would help rein in companies' price hikes and save people money.
"We can save a lot of money on drugs that don't add that much to our therapeutic arsenal, and continue to reward the drugs that do," Frank asserted.
Pharmaceutical companies argued a limit on prices would stifle innovation, slowing the discovery of new cures for diseases, but there is evidence Medicare recipients who see hikes in their pharmacy bills are less likely to fill prescriptions, and skipping refills is linked to around a 33% increase in deaths, according to a study by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
A survey by the group Small Business for America's Future found lowering healthcare and prescription costs for employees is a top priority for small business owners.
Frank pointed out drug costs have far surpassed inflation, and are hitting consumers and small businesses at a time when the pandemic has further increased healthcare costs.
"So, for the last several years, prices have been going up for prescription drugs at a rate that is around three times that of inflation," Frank noted.
The Build Back Better Act would allow the government to negotiate prices with drug companies for certain drugs covered under Medicare Parts 'B' and 'D,' but the bill stalled in the U.S. Senate in December.

The King is kidnapped: Grand Forks thieves swipe $2,600 cognac bottle
Just as King Louis XIII sat on a throne, so does the cognac that's named for him occupy a special place in the liquor stores that sell it.
At Happy Harry's Bottle Shop in Grand Forks, it's kept under lock and key in a special case. Or at least it was until Sunday.
As the Grand Forks Herald reports, that's when two thieves apparently jimmied the case open while the store was busy and made off with the $2,600 cognac, as well as a few other liquor bottles worth another couple hundred dollars.
The Herald notes that a surveillance camera image shows the pair "looking lovingly" at the bottle before the crime.
The store's owner tells the newspaper that the bottle itself – made of French Baccarat crystal – helps explain some of the King's price tag. But the bulk of the value comes from its contents: a cognac distilled from vintages that are 50 years and older.
How do you even approach such a drink?
With reverence, according to a French cellar master who was visited by the Wall Street Journal a couple of years ago. In that case the King Louis XIII contained 100-year-old vintages, and Pierrette Trichet told the Journal "The idea is to be very humble in front of this glass and pay respect because it represents the effort and the know-how of one century."
The Los Angeles Times reported this summer on a $22,000 bottle of King Louis XIII that arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills ... in a Rolls Royce limo.
Alas, in Grand Forks, no respect for the King.
'Who was King Louis XIII, anyway?" you may be wondering. Encyclopedia Britannica tells us he was monarch when France became a European power during the early 1600's.
But some of us know him best through Alexandre Dumas' classic The Three Musketeers. You can read or download the 600-page novel here.
Or take SparkNotes' word for it that Louis XIII really was protected by swashbuckling guards known as musketeers.
Could they help return the King's bottle to its Grand Forks throne intact? All for one and one for all.

Acquisition Information
The records of the Berkeley Police Department for the period of August Vollmer's administration (1905-1932) were given to The Bancroft Library by the Department in April 1972, complementing Vollmer's personal papers (C-B 403), which were a gift of his estate in 1956-1957.
The records of the Berkeley Police Department consist primarily of Vollmer's correspondence with other law enforcement officers, city officials, various organizations and government agencies, professional associations, and private individuals, relating to all phases of the Department's operations, the introduction of reforms and modern technology into the Department, his interest in formal police training, his consultation work, etc. Included also in the collection are "special and general orders" issued by Vollmer and some miscellaneous Papers, including speeches and statements, budget data, reports on officers' meetings, etc. The papers are described in greater detail in the Key to Arrangement which follows.
Additional documentation on Vollmer is available in "August Vollmer: Pioneer in Police Professionalism," (73/89 c) which consists of transcripts of a series of tape-recorded interviews with colleagues and friends.
Prior to July 1925, the Department's correspondence was arranged in two groups -"General" and "Official" and alphabetically (albeit roughly) within each group. In July 1925, the filing system was changed to a numeric one, starting with the file designation "L l." Indices to the files were not extant, however, when the records were given to the Library, and, to facilitate research access to the collection, letters from more important individuals and organizations were segregated, arranged alphabetically into one series and indexed. [See boxes 1-16 below]. Vollmer's letters (except for the most routine ones relating to missing persons and fingerprint identification) were removed and arranged chronologically. [See boxes 17-47 below]. The rest of the correspondence was refoldered and retained in original order. The correspondence is now arranged as follows:
Boxes 1-16
Arranged alphabetically by name of person or organization. An index follows the Key to Arrangement.
Boxes 17-47
Letters Sent, 1932-1951

Arranged chronologically. Also included: a small file of letters written by his successors, J. A. Greening and J. D. Holstrom, and other members of the Department.

Girls score the same in maths and science as boys, so why they are less likely to pick STEM careers?
Rigissa Megalokonomou
Lecturer in Economics, The University of Queensland
Silvia Griselda
PhD student, University of Melbourne
Last month, the Australian Academy of Science published a report showing the COVID-19 pandemic would disproportionately affect women in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) disciplines.
The report noted before COVID-19, around 7,500 women were employed in STEM research fields in Australia in 2017, compared to around 18,400 men. The authors wrote:
The pandemic appears to be compounding pre-existing gender disparity; women are under-represented across the STEM workforce, and weighted in roles that are typically less senior and less secure. Job loss at a greater rate than for men is now an immediate threat for many women in Australia's STEM workforce, potentially reversing equity gains of recent years.
Women are less likely to enrol in science and maths degrees than men. In Australia, only 35% of STEM university degrees are awarded to women. This figure has been stable over the past five years.
Some research in the 1990s suggested girls don't study maths and science because they might not do as well as boys. But recent research shows girls score similarly or slightly higher than boys in maths and science.
So why don't they choose these careers as often as men?
Our recently published study found while women perform at the same or higher level in maths and science as men, their performance in the humanities is markedly better. This may be the reason they're choosing not to pursue STEM careers.

MetroHealth Opens New Retail Pharmacy in Beachwood
The MetroHealth System has opened its 11th retail pharmacy at the Beachwood Health Center.
Patients and community members will now have a more convenient way to refill and pick up prescriptions on the first floor of the health center.
The new retail pharmacy is located at 3609 Park East Drive and while the grand opening is officially Monday, August 30, patients can start getting prescriptions and over-the-counter items now.
The new pharmacy will offer:
The best possible price for prescriptions.
Free home delivery of medication (with same-day service in some cases!).
Flavored medication for children.
COVID-19 vaccinations.
Low-priced over-the-counter medications.
Beachwood Health Center offers a variety of services. It's also home to a MetroExpressCare, so having a pharmacy onsite will allow patients who have acute care needs and convenient access to antibiotics and other medications.
"We are excited to continue to expand our retail pharmacies throughout The MetroHealth System," said Ryan Mezinger, executive director of pharmacy services. "We want to continue to give our patients a convenient option to pick up their prescriptions and keep their medications affordable. Beachwood pharmacy opening allows for us to have more of a presence on the east side of Cuyahoga County."
The pharmacy's hours will be Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.


Identity theft is the fastest growing white-collar crime in America, increasing 40% annually. (1) Identity theft occurs when personal-identifying information, such as a social security number, date of birth, or address, is used to commit fraud. (2) Incidentally, from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2005, 255,565 people in the United States were victims of identify theft. During this time, the most prominent type of identity theft was credit card fraud. With 61% of all identity theft victims failing to notify a police department to file a report, (3) there is a need for distributing information and building a knowledge base regarding this issue. Of the total number of identity theft victims, the highest percentage of victims (29%) came from the range of 18-29 years, making this issue relevant when teaching consumer health education to young adults. Health education, ideally, is preventive education, serving to inform students of health education issues prior to real-life exposure to the idea where life-long consequences to decisions may exist. This identity theft case study links the skill of decision making to consumer health education as a tool to promote prevention education.
This Teaching Technique is appropriate for middle school and high school students studying consumer health education. This lesson is easily modified for college students having them write their own case studies incorporating the 3 Cs of decision making, the 4 steps to reporting identity theft, as well as the alignment of potential consequences to those choices that are addressed in their individual case studies.
1. Practice the use of the 3 Cs of decision making (clarify, consider, and choose) in relationship to consumer health behavior choices by identifying and matching the clues to the appropriate category within the puzzle game.
2. Link the consequences of health behavior choices to the 3 Cs of decision making. (Please note that in Table 2 question 2, an additional assessment component has been added to address this objective).
3. Identify the 4 steps to reporting identity theft.
5.8.4. Distinguish between healthy and unhealthy alternatives to health-related issues or problems.
5.8.5. Predict the potential short-term impact of each alternative on self and others.
5.8.6. Choose healthy alternatives over unhealthy alternatives when making a decision.
5.8.7. Analyze the outcomes of a health-related decision.
5.12.4. Generate alternatives to health-related issues or problems.
5.12.5. Predict the potential short- and long-term impact of each alternative on self and others.
One copy of "The Case of the Stolen Identity," Puzzle Pieces 1-32 (Table 1), as well as the Clarify, Consider, and Choose Puzzle Piece Worksheet (Table 2) for each student.
The time needed to teach the identity theft concepts and to fully implement the Teaching Technique is approximately a 1-hour class period.

(Computational) My research activity is concentrated in two broad areas of applied physics. The first, quantum transport in sub-micron semiconducting devices, is a very interesting area of research due to the many novel devices whose operation explicitly depends on the quantum mechanical properties of the electrons which flow through them. An example of such a device is the Esaki diode, which for a broad range of applied voltage actually displays a negative resistance. The second area of research that I am actively engaged in is the study of accelerated superconducting devices and circuits. My students and I are currently studying the feasibility of building a "no moving parts" gyroscope based on the property that a rotating superconductor produces a magnetic field proportional in strength to the rate of rotation.
In each of the areas outlined above, my students and I use computer simulations to gain a detailed understanding of the behavior of the system in question. This is necessary because the complexity of these systems and the non-linearity of the basic equations describing them make it impossible to obtain analytic, closed-form results. In this field of computational physics we use supercomputers and high performance workstations to simulate our systems either by molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, or by iterative solutions of non-linear differential equations. Sate-of-the-art computer graphics is required to visualize our results. Therefore students working in this area must develop exceptional computer skills involving programming, operating systems and scientific visualization, all essential requirements of the modern technical job market.
In the area of quantum transport, we have been applying the density-functional techniques of Kohn and Sham to the problem of understanding the effects of space-charge build-up, inelastic carrier scattering and bound carrier-hole excitonic states upon the transport of carriers and holes through semiconducting devices of spatial dimension less than 100 Angstroms. A typical device considered has been the Esaki (or quantum-well) tunnel diode. At such small length scales the electron transport is dominated by quantum effects. The density-functional technique allows for the self-consistent solution of the carrier wave-function with the electrostatic potential developed by the many-electron, many-hole charge distribution, as well as effective potentials used to model spin effects. Using these techniques we have been able to predict device performance characteristics under a wide variety of temperature, geometric and material constituent conditions.
In the area of superconducting devices, we have been using a high-performance numerical technique, the finite-element method (FEM), to solve the Ginszburg-Landau (GL) equations for superconductors. These equations, along with their boundary condition, describe the spatial distribution of the magnetic vector potential and the wave function of the Cooper-pair condensate within a superconducting sample. The GL equations are a system of five coupled non-linear partial differential equations in the three components of the vector potential and the real and imaginary parts of the Cooper-pair condensate wave-function. As such, state-of-the-art numerical methods are required for their solution. Such solutions are obtained by iterating appropriately linearized versions of the GL equations, using the FEM to obtain a single iterate solution. This program is now being applied to the problem of determining the current-density and magnetic field distributions of superconducting patterns being used in particle detectors (see research description of Professor C. J. Martoff).
Along these same lines, my students and I have made progress in the derivation of the GL equations for accelerated superconductors. Using the same numerical methods described above, we have been testing the feasibility of constructing a "no moving parts gyroscope" based on the angular velocity-dependent London moment produced by a rotating superconductor. At present, we are using our numerical solutions of the modified GL equations to determine the best magnetic shielding strategy for this device.
