Q: Flex Dcm file loading Working on a project which requires loading dicom files in flex.
Any ideas about loading a DCM(Dicom) file in a flex application

A: I am the author of Stratos-viewer, a Flash based viewer showing Jpeg images obtained from a PACS through WADO. Unfortunately, this project was abandoned about 5 years ago.
After that, I made some tests in flex (actionscript) and I was able to load the raw binary data of an uncomressed Dicom image (Explicit VR, little endian). You can still see a demo here. The key to be able to do that was the introduction of the URLLoader class in ActionScript. This project was also abandoned (2009) and ended up being just a proof of concept. The good news is that a Dicom file can be loaded (and displayed) in flex.
Now I have abandoned the flash / flex way and I am working on a html5 Dicom viewer, but this is another history.

The food industry entered a new era today, when President Obama signed a bill into law requiring anything containing GMOs (genetically modified organisms) to be labeled. Regardless of what side of the GMO debate you're on (and there's fresh evidence on the GMOs-are-okay side, thanks to this recently released study), most of us love transparency. Why wouldn't you want to know what you're putting into your body?
But as GMOs are moved to the forefront of the food conversation now more than ever, many questions loom: Why exactly is buying non-GMO important? How hard is it to for a product to get the trademark butterfly seal indicating it's non-GMO? And is it harder for some products to get certified than others?
We took all our GMO questions to Megan Westgate, the executive director of the Non-GMO Project, the non-profit that bestows the certification.
The butterfly label launched in 2010 and it has since become one of the fastest-growing food labels. There are currently about 2,900 brands in the program with over 36,000 products, representing $16 billion in annual sales. So it's a pretty big deal.
Westgate recently sat on a panel at press event for Dannon, praising the company for its recent commitment to start selling non-GMO products—a huge overhaul. We caught up with Westgate after the event to talk more about GMOs.
Keep reading for everything you need to know about GMOs.
"There are many reasons why consumers choose to avoid GMOs—the environmental impact of GMOs, the patenting of life, farmer sovereignty, the potential off-target effects of genetic modification," Westgate says.
She particularly praised Dannon's switch to non-GMO products, since it means 80,000 acres of GMO corn will now be non-GMO corn—no easy feat. Even the dairy cows will be fed non-GMO feed. "This movement will create a ripple effect in the supply chain," Westgate says.
So, how hard is it for a food manufacturer to earn that butterfly seal? Westgate says the whole process takes between three and six months. "There are two main parts to the evaluation: inputs and facilities," she says. Every single ingredient must be verified as non-GMO, and the facilities must pass an evaluation.
Where this gets the trickiest? Anything containing corn, soy, canola, or animal products, according to Westgate. These high-risk ingredients require testing to ensure they are truly non-GMO. And for anything from an animal (meat, eggs, milk, cheese…), the animals cannot have been fed genetically modified feed.
"According to the USDA, about 45 percent of the corn grown in the U.S. is destined for animal feed, which can make it difficult for farmers to transition to non-GMO feed and difficult for manufacturers to find compliant sources of animal products," Westgate says.
If you've never shopped non-GMO before but are suddenly all about it, maneuvering the grocery store may seem daunting, but Westgate highlights the resources The Non-GMO Project offer to make it a little easier.
First, keep an eye out for that butterfly label.
"We also have a very popular shopping app (for IOS and Android) that allows you to scan a product right in the aisle to be sure it is Non-GMO Project Verified," she says. You can also search food by type or brand on their website (nongmoproject.org) to see if it has a butterfly seal or not.
With today's signing of the GMO transparency food bill, you can bet that in the not-so distant future, many more food companies will follow in brands like Dannon's footsteps and make an effort to offer non-GMO products to consumers. And then, shopping will be even easier.

New research reveals shifting identities of global fishing fleet to help bolster fisheries management
in Press Release 13 days ago 112 Views | Short URL
Scientific study fuses multiple data sources to advance global understanding of vessel identity and behavior
WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A new study published today in Science Advances combines a decade's worth of satellite vessel tracking data with identification information from more than 40 public registries to determine where and when vessels responsible for most of the world's industrial fishing change their country of registration, a practice known as "reflagging", and identify hotspots of potential unauthorized fishing and activity of foreign-owned vessels.
Using big data processing and a compilation of global datasets, researchers from Global Fishing Watch, the Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab from Duke University, and Stockholm Resilience Centre were able to track and analyze 35,000 commercial fishing and support vessels to reveal their changing identities and enable the reconstruction of vessel histories to demonstrate reflagging patterns.
The study, "Tracking Elusive and Shifting Identities of the Global Fishing Fleet" found that close to 20 percent of high seas fishing is carried out by vessels that are either internationally unregulated or not publicly authorized, with large concentrations of these ships operating in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean and the western Indian Ocean.
The data used in the study is intended to complement the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' Global Record of Fishing Vessels, Refrigerated Transport Vessels and Supply Vessels, a flagship transparency initiative which serves as the official database of information on vessels used for fishing and fishing-related activities. Together with the International Maritime Organization's ship identification number scheme, these resources can provide fisheries authorities with the information needed to adequately monitor vessel activity, implement flag State responsibilities, and inform responsible fisheries management.
"Until now, we've had limited information linking together the identity and activity of specific vessels," said Jaeyoon Park, senior data scientist at Global Fishing Watch and lead author of the study. "When a vessel's identity is changed, it makes tracking them all the more difficult, allowing bad actors the opportunity to take advantage of information gaps and avoid oversight. We need to close that loophole."
Of the 116 States involved in reflagging, the study found that one-fifth of them were responsible for about 80 percent of this practice over the past decade, with most reflagging occurring in Asia, Latin America, Africa, and the Pacific Islands. The study found that reflagging takes place in just a few ports—Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Busan, Zhoushan, and Kaohsiung have the highest activity. Vessels are often reflagged to States that are unrelated to the ports in which they are changing their registrations. This means that a vessel can change its flag from one country to another without ever having to enter port in either of those countries.
While there are legitimate reasons for a vessel to change its identity, abusive reflagging, or "flag hopping," is one way that operators avoid oversight. The study found that fleets with prevalent reflagging are over five times more likely to be composed of vessels under foreign ownership which are often registered to "flags of convenience," defined by the International Transport Workers' Federation as countries that offer foreign shipowners the ability to register, or fly the flag, of their own State.
While reflagging and foreign ownership are lawful, when not properly regulated and monitored, they can indicate a risk of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. IUU fishing accounts for as much as 20 percent of the global seafood catch with annual losses valued at up to $23.5 billion.
"Knowing the identities of vessels fishing the high seas is critical for uncovering the connection between the potential IUU fishing behavior and vessels that repeatedly change their name, flag State or registered owner," said co-author Gabrielle Carmine, a doctoral candidate at Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment. "This analysis could be used to help monitor fisheries more effectively and for accountability in the use and protection of marine biodiversity."
The study also identified concentrations of fishing activity by foreign-owned vessels, which are focused in parts of the high seas and certain national waters, including the southwest Pacific, the northwest Indian Ocean, Argentina and the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), and West Africa where vessels are typically owned by China, Chinese Taipei, and Spain. The hotspots in this study correspond to the areas in which multiple nongovernmental organizations have called for better governance systems.
"By synthesizing more than 100 billion GPS positions with consolidated identity information from 200,000 vessels, we were able to reveal patterns about vessel activity from the past decade," added Park. "This study represents a major step forward in our ability to enhance monitoring efforts and help authorities direct enforcement resources."
The data used in this study will be periodically updated and shared publicly to help enable better understanding of vessel behavior and bolster international fisheries management.

Data visualization caption: Data analysis in this study's assessment of fishing compliance revealed hotspots of fishing activity by foreign-owned vessels in the southwest Pacific, the west Indian oceans, and certain national waters.
About vessel identity data: The data used to determine vessel identities in this study were based on public registries. A lack of vessel identity information exists at the national level, while the high seas are predominantly covered by registries published by regional fisheries management organizations. The identity data used in this study has more extensive coverage for vessels that are 24 meters and longer, as these vessels are more likely to be registered to national or international public registries than smaller ones.
About AIS data: First developed as a collision-avoidance system, AIS is essential to vessel and crew safety. But AIS is easily manipulated, as it can simply be switched off or allow the transmission of false information, such as a vessel's name, type or location. Currently there is no global mandate for all fishing vessels to broadcast on AIS. And due to the varying quality of satellite reception by region, there is also unequal coverage of AIS data throughout the world. Most vessels larger than 24 meters are equipped with AIS while only a small fraction of vessels smaller than 24 meters use AIS, resulting in limitations in AIS data.

The direct cause of plaque psoriasis is still unknown to medical experts, but its development has been researched. It is an autoimmune disease – meaning that the symptoms are a result of the body over-producing defenses against something. In the case of plaque psoriasis, the body over-produces skin cells, causing a rapid build-up of skin cells on the surface, which become flaky and sore. In addition, inflammation of the joints may cause joint pain.
There is not yet a cure for psoriasis, but treatments are available. One such treatment is Ixekizumab, also known as Taltz. The treatment – an 80mg/mL injection – was recently approved for use in adult patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis by the FDA in the United States. Clinical tests with joint pain symptoms, in particular, showed that 'Taltz can provide significant improvement in joint symptoms' in patients who have not been treated with such a drug before as well as those who have, according to Philip Mease, M.D., University of Washington and Swedish Medical Center.
Taltz works by reducing the action of the body's immune system, which is the main cause of plaque psoriasis. It does this by blocking a particular protein – Interleukin 17A (IL-17A) – which is responsible for promoting inflammation. Statistics available on the Taltz website show that 90% of patients with plaque psoriasis showed improvements with the drug, while 4 in 10 gained completely clear skin. Common side effects include nausea, fungal infections and upper respiratory infections such as the common cold, and patients should talk to their healthcare providers before taking Taltz.

Phyllorhiza punctata
Cassiopea andromeda
Pennaria disticha
Carijoa riisei
Diadumene lineata
Pennaria disticha (Goldfuss, 1820)
Christmas tree hydroid
Phylum Cnidaria
Class Hydrozoa
Order Hydroida
Family Halocordylidae
Colonies are large, as tall as 30 cm, with a dark brown to black perisarc, a protein-chitin exoskeleton which surrounds the stem and branches. This perisarc is usually overgrown with diatoms and algae, making the branches of the hydroid appear muddy brown. Branching is alternate. The polyp has a circle of 10 to 18 filiform tentacles at the base and as many as 12 capitate tentacles on the upper part of the hydranth. The polyps are white with a reddish tinge. Annulations occur on the branches which bear the polyps, and on the main stem and side branches.
Attached to artificial and natural hard substrates where there is some water movement. Very common as fouling in harbors throughout the main islands, and commonly found on reefs usually in more protected areas or in cracks and crevices.
All main Hawaiian Islands
Western Atlantic
Present Distribution
World-wide in warm seas
Mechanism of Introduction
Unintentional, as fouling on ships' hull
Fouling organism. Ecological impact unstudied, but some competition for space with other invertebrates likely. This hydroid will sting humans, causing a mild irritation.
The hydroid is a carnivore, using the stinging cells in its tentacles to capture small plankton which drifts by in the currents. The feeding tentacles carry the prey to the mouth region where it is ingested whole.
Hydrozoan polyps can reproduce asexually by budding. The medusa (gonophores) bud off singly from the hydranth body just above the proximal tentacles. A single colony bears gonophores of one sex only. The mature medusae are similar in the two sexes; they have an elongate bell, a velum, four radial canals and four rudimentary tentacles. Pennaria medusae generally break away from the colony and swim about during the discharge of the sex products, but depending on environmental conditions, they may remain attached. At the onset of spawning, the ripe medusae gradually begin a rhythmic twitching. The males emit puffs of white sperm, the females eject three to six eggs. The spent medusae finally drop off, swim feebly if at all, and shrivel and die in a few hours.
Fertilization is external. In about a day, developing embryo becomes a young free-swimming planula, which will eventually settle and develop into a young hydroid colony.
We regard this common fouling hydroid as introduced with ship fouling. It is reported, with various synonyms, from warm-water seas worldwide. Edmondson (1933) reported it (as Pennaria tiarella) in Pearl Harbor and Kaneohe Bay, attached to stones, pilings of old wharves, buoys, and other floats. He noted that it appeared to be identical to the Atlantic Ocean P. tiarella McCrady, and may have been transported to Hawaii on the bottoms of ships.
Boone (1938) redescribed P. disticha as a new species, Corydendrium splendidum, from Kaneohe Bay (later synonymized by Cooke, 1977), collected as a single large colony in 2 meters of water at low tide, in 1928. It has been widely reported by numerous authors throughout the main Hawaiian islands.

Cocktail proves toxic to leukemia cells
Rice University, MD Anderson research points toward better personalized therapy
A combination of drugs that affect mitochondria — the power plants inside cells — may become the best weapons yet to fight acute myeloid leukemia, according to Rice University researchers.
A study led by Rice bioscientist Natasha Kirienko and postdoctoral researcher Svetlana Panina found that mitocans, anti-cancer drugs that target mitochondria, are particularly adept at killing leukemia cells, especially when combined with a glycolytic inhibitor, while leaving healthy blood cells in the same sample largely unaffected.
Their open access paper, a collaboration with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, appears in the Nature journal Cell Death & Disease. The research could lead to new ways to personalize treatment for patients with leukemia.
"We started with the idea of finding an underlying connection between types of cancer and their sensitivity to specific kinds of chemotherapeutics, mitochondria-targeting drugs," Kirienko said. "Our bioinformatic analysis, which included 60 cell lines from nine different cancer types, showed that leukemia cells are particularly sensitive to mitochondrial damage."
The researchers exposed the cell lines to multiple known mitocan molecules. They found low doses of a mitocan/glycolytic inhibitor cocktail killed all of the leukemia cell lines they tested at concentrations lower than what was necessary to kill healthy cells. Conversely, they reported that solid tumor cells, like ovarian cancers, proved highly resistant to mitocans. Glioblastoma cells were sensitive to mitocans, but unfortunately more resistant than healthy blood cells.
In their best experimental results, 86% of targeted leukemia cells were killed, compared to only 30% of healthy blood cells. "A number of drugs currently used in the clinic have some cancer preference, but here we're talking about a five-fold difference in survival," Kirienko said.
The researchers also showed a significant correlation between how efficiently mitochondria can turn energy from incoming oxygen into useful adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and how resistant they are to treatment.
"The more efficient they are, the more resistant they will be to mitochondria-targeting drugs," Kirienko said. "If this holds true, doctors can perform a relatively simple test of this specific parameter of mitochondrial health from a patient's sample and predict whether the treatment would be effective."
Panina said computational models led them to think the glycolysis pathway could be enlisted to help mitocans. "Glycolysis also provides ATP, so targeting that will decrease energy as well as block the precursor for energy production in mitochondria, which mitocans will exacerbate further," she said. "It led us to believe this combination would have a synergistic effect.
"Cancer cells are usually more metabolically active than normal cells, so we predicted that they be might be more sensitive to this combined strike, and they are," Panina said.
Kirienko said a presentation of the research she and Panina gave at MD Anderson's recent Metabolism in Cancer Symposium drew a large response. "People were very interested, and they immediately started asking, 'Did you test my favorite drug or combination?' and 'Are you going to test it in a wider panel of cancers?'"
That work is well underway, Panina said. "We're currently doing high-throughput screening of these potential synergistic drug combinations against leukemia cells," she said. "We've gone through 36 combinations so far, building landscapes for each one."
"And we found some that are more effective than what's reported in this paper," Kirienko added. "But we've also found some that are antagonistic — two drugs that negate each other's effects — so it's also important to know what therapeutic cocktails should not go together."
Co-authors of the paper are postdoctoral fellow Natalia Baran; Marina Konopleva, a physician-scientist and professor in the Department of Leukemia at MD Anderson; and Rice graduate student Fabio Brasil da Costa. Kirienko is an assistant professor of biosciences.
The Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas, the Welch Foundation and the National Institutes of Health supported the research.

Two MIT Sloan MBAs launch new startup
Two MIT Sloan MBAs will launch a new startup called Season Three this fall. The only direct-to-consumer company focused on the fashion lifestyle space in the accelerator, Adam Klein, MBA '19, and Jared Johnson, MBA '20, will offer a product line featuring all-weather Merino wool lined boots engineered at MIT.
"Our product fits an open space within the shoe industry that existing shoes have failed to fulfill. The boots are designed for all humans – they are unisex – making style and comfort accessible to everyone. They encourage the exploration of your surroundings, without sacrificing professionalism," says Klein.
Johnson says, "The resources, support, and mentorship provided at MIT Sloan were invaluable. They helped us go from nothing to something."
Meeting in MIT Sloan's MBA Program, the team combined Johnson's passion for fashion as well as design experience with Klein's entrepreneurial, finance and legal experience to create an outdoors brand that they describe as a "marriage of fashion, comfort, and functionality."
The idea began with a personal need, explains Johnson. "We were walking in Boston on a snowy, cold winter day in big chunky boots. We talked about how boots could be designed better not only in terms of style, but also thermal stability. We wanted to create a comfortable boot that anyone could wear to the office and then move throughout the city during the day and to events after work. Out of that came Season Three."
Klein adds, "Jared brings a tremendous knowledge of footwear to this venture. Before MIT, he pursued design with the goal of working in the fashion and footwear sector."
At MIT, they began working on the idea through the MITdesignX program in MIT's School of Architecture and Planning and received support from the MIT Sandbox Innovation Fund. They also received support and mentorship from the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship as well as feedback from faculty, alumni, and classmates. Through classes, they refined their business plan and marketing strategy.
The cofounders designed the boot at MIT with their "Threedom footbed," which provides shock absorbing qualities for comfort as well as greater absorption of moisture. The boot is temperature controlled by a combination of merino wool and weather-proof leathers.
"No other product caters to the new lifestyle of the 'WeWork Generation,' where someone working 60 hours a week needs fashion to seamlessly flow between professional environments, drinks with friends, and side hustles in between. As a unisex brand, we recognize an eagerness within all humans," says Johnson. "We believe our boots are a product that advocates for collective unity."
The founders will participate in the delta v program Demo Day presentations at MIT, New York City, and San Francisco in September. They plan to officially launch their online store in November. The boots will be their initial product and retail at $345.
"We've received a lot of interest because the boots were designed at MIT and we occupy a unique position in the fashion lifestyle space. We are taking everything we learned in school to build this company, and we look forward to our launch this fall," says Jared.

5 Best Sports Activities for Students
With the lure of electronic activities like playing computer games and surfing the net that don't require physical exercise, students may miss out on an opportunity to socialize, keep healthy and boost their brainpower.
Sports activities will relieve your stress, help you to sleep better, control your weight, improve your mood and give you more energy. Universities and colleges usually have many traditional sports teams, but there are many other sports activities on campus that cater to all types of individuals and levels of expertise, from complete novices to the very sporty.
Here are various sports for students, some more conventional and others a little more unusual.
The most popular sports for students are usually traditional ones like football, basketball, volleyball and softball. Students who begin playing these sports in high school often continue in college. The average university sponsors at least twenty different sports.
Playing team sports not only allows you to become fit but has many other benefits too. Sharing fun and special moments, socialization, making new friends and developing teamwork skills are all part of playing in a team.
Playing a team sport allows you to pick up a number of soft skills, too, such as time management and strategic thinking. Showing you could play a team sport without affecting your studies, or that you could take a responsible role, such as captain, will impress future employees.
Taking a break from your studies to play a team sport will help to keep your mind focused and alert because exercise increases the blood flow to your brain.
Solo sports
There are many great ways to spend time exercising on your own. Swimming is one solo sport that offers a low-impact full-body workout. You can schedule it whenever you have the time and an hour of swimming will burn calories and give you some good aerobic exercise. Running, walking and strength training are other enjoyable solo sports.
As a student, you have a heavy workload and you often need to make a concerted effort to fit exercise into your program. You can even engage in an intensive cardio workout right in your dorm room to save time.
There are many Pilates and yoga videos on YouTube that will give you a good workout. If you feel you don't have the time, you can use writing services by the professional essay writers to complete college tasks, so your life is more balanced. Thesis or dissertation, college essays or term papers, online writing experts help you with every writing project.
If you like to accompany your exercise with a bit of adventure, off-road cycling, hiking, cross-country skiing, rowing, or rock climbing can challenge you. It also allows you to see more of nature, take great photos and forget about your studies for a while so you can return to them refreshed.
Just remember that adventure sports place more demands on your body and proper nutrition is essential to keep your performance at its peak and reduce chances of injury.
Reading nutrition essay topics, such as how nutrition influences brain performance or what type of nutrition you need if you do adventure sports, can help you to make the right choices when it comes to what you eat.
Dance activities
After sitting in class, studying and researching, sometimes all you want to do is get up and move. Dancing is often an extremely popular activity at college, with lots of interest and a variety of different opportunities, from hip-hop to ballroom.
Dance clubs are student organizations that dance for fun and provide a great way to get some exercise. As the atmosphere is non-competitive, this is a more laid-back way to participate in dance than to join a dance team which competes with other college teams.
Most dance clubs also have a performance or two to showcase their talents and you can invite family or friends along to see you perform. Special dance events can include programs organized by students to support charitable causes.
If you're not into traditional sports, college is the place where you're likely to find some unusual clubs. You could find an unusual club where you'll meet people with similar interests to you.
If you're a Harry Potter fan, you may be tickled to play Quidditch which has made its way from fiction into our muggle world. Players may not ride on brooms but the game can be highly entertaining. Roller Derby is another full-contact sport played on wheels by both men and women.
If you've always wondered what Underwater Hockey or Disc Golf (Frolf) must be like to play, now's your chance. Parkour is another unusual sport that requires quick reflexes and stamina to overcome obstacles and the environment, simply by using your body.
To find out what's available at your school, check the student organizations page on the website and you'll be amazed at how many diverse opportunities a school may have to offer. University life can be stressful, with heavy workloads and pressure to meet deadlines for assignments. If you don't find ways to relieve the pressure, you will find it difficult to cope.

5 Top Tips to Looking After Your Eyes Daily
You brush your hair, you clean your teeth, you moisturise your skin, but do you think about looking after your eyes each day? Our sight is such a precious sense, but it is one that most people take almost entirely for granted. Modern urban life is particularly punishing for our eyes. Too much time spent looking at screens means that for many, their eyes are often tired and sore, and the dust and dirt of a city pose a further threat to our eyesight. Don't wait until there's a problem, take care of your eyes and build eye care into your daily routine.
Keep your hands clean
Keeping your hands clean is important for maintaining good general health, but it is also particularly important for maintaining the good health of your eyes. A study by Michigan State University found that only 5% of people wash their hands correctly. Dipping those pinkies in water is simply not good enough, they need a proper scrub for at least twenty seconds. Most of us are guilty, at some time or another, of absentmindedly rubbing our eyes but it is something that all of us should try to avoid. Rubbing your eyes, even with hands which appear to be clean, can cause eye related problems such as conjunctivitis.
Wear sunglasses
Sunglasses provide protection from harmful UV rays which can cause cataracts, macular degeneration, corneal sunburn and skin cancer around the eyelids. UV rays are not just a summer hazard, they can reflect off surfaces such as snow, water, sand and concrete. If you wear prescription glasses, you should give your eyes the added protection of prescription sunglasses. Don't worry, there are plenty of fashionable options available.
Visit your optometrist regularly
You really can't have your eyes checked too often. The onset of glaucoma has no obvious symptoms and by the time that you do become aware that there is a problem, you may have sustained permanent eye damage. Early detection of eye pressure, which is an indicator of the disease, is only possible with a professional eye examination. Your optometrist can also give you early warning of diabetes, high cholesterol and even cancer.
Wear goggles in the swimming pool
Chlorine is a sanitising agent added to the water of swimming pools to reduce the spread of disease and water borne bacteria. Unfortunately, chlorine strips away the film that protects your cornea which actually makes your eyes more vulnerable to any dirt or bacteria that may be in the pool. Conjunctivitis, red, irritated eyes and even blurry vision can all be contracted by swimming in a chlorinated pool. Protect your eyes when swimming, by always wearing water tight goggles with a strong seal.
Keep hydrated
It is recommended that you drink eight glasses of water a day in order to maintain your health. Drinking water helps keep your skin hydrated, aids brain function and is crucial to maintaining the natural lipid layer on the surface of your eyes.

Super Bowl LIII: Patriots vs Rams
In Wake of NFL Post-Season Controversies Public Wants Rule Changes for Pass Interference and OT
Nation also 'tired' of seeing Patriots in Super Bowl; thinks legalized gambling can lead to scandal
By an overwhelming margin, the public wants instant replay for judgment calls such as pass interference, according to a Seton Hall Sports Poll conducted this week.
Asked if replay review should be allowed for judgment calls like pass interference, 82% said yes, with only 10% saying no and the rest having no opinion or saying they did not know.
Among those who said they followed the sport closely, even more, 89%, said yes, while only 7% said no.
Even among the respondents who said they follow the NFL very closely, 85% said yes, they "think instant replay review should be allowed for judgment calls like pass interference." Among that group of very close followers, however, 13% said "no."
Regarding overtime possession rules, a majority of respondents polled said that each team should get at least one possession in overtime: 58% said that both teams should have the ball, with only 33% saying the rule (a touchdown on first possession ends the game), should be left alone.
The poll received 985 adult responses across the country, using both landlines and cellphones, with a margin of error of +/- 3.2%.
"In the NFL's championship games, referee calls and non-calls made a very big difference," noted Rick Gentile, director of the poll, which is sponsored by the Sharkey Institute of the Stillman School of Business at Seton Hall. "And in some ways, Kansas City's offense never getting a chance to take the field in overtime was anticlimactic – never a good thing in the entertainment business, and something the NFL may want to pay attention to along with the overwhelming support for instant replay review for judgment calls such as pass interference."
Nation 'Tired' of Patriots
Perhaps the overtime rules wouldn't have seemed so unfair if the Kansas City Chiefs hadn't been playing the New England Patriots, who have made their way to the Super Bowl four out of the past five years.
Nearly half of Americans say they are tired of seeing the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
46% said they were tired of seeing them, with only 25% saying their appearance would make the game more interesting.
Among those who follow the NFL closely or very closely, the number rose to 62% who are tired of seeing them against only 27% who thought their appearance would make the game more interesting.
The numbers are not very good for New England quarterback Tom Brady either, whose favorable rating has fallen to only 29% after a high of 61% in February 2015, when the Poll first asked about him. That was before the penalty for "Deflategate" was instituted, and his favorable rating fell to 34% by that October.
Brady's favorable rating was only 24% among women and 35% among men. While the overall rating is 29% favorable to 23% unfavorable, among those that follow the NFL closely it is even.
Patriots' coach Bill Belichick had only a 20% favorable rating in this poll, about even with his standing in October of 2015 in the wake of "Deflategate."
"Despite his brilliance on the field, it appears the effects of 'Deflategate' and the suggestion that Brady was a cheater may linger for the remainder of his career," noted Director Gentile, "As for 'Patriots Fatigue' it will be interesting to see how it effects the ratings."
Meanwhile, as legalized sports betting begins a growth period on a state-by-state basis, Americans had a strong feeling that it will inevitably lead to scandal. Asked if they believe legal betting can lead to cheating or fixing of games by players, 81% said yes, and 79% said it can lead to cheating or fixing of games by referees or umpires.
What is music to a network ear however, is that 71% say they would be more likely to watch a broadcast of a game on which they bet. Even better news is by more than 5 to 1, people 18-29 are more inclined to watch a game they bet on. This is similar with Seton Hall Sports Poll's finding when the question was first asked last fall.

About the poll:
This poll was conducted by telephone January 28-30 among adults in the United States. The Seton Hall Sports Poll is conducted by the Sharkey Institute. Phone numbers were dialed from samples of both standard landline and cell phones. The error for subgroups may be higher. This poll release conforms to the Standards of Disclosure of the National Council on Public Polls. The Seton Hall Sports Poll has been conducted regularly since 2006.

There was controversy regarding the NFC and AFC Championship Games last week because of calls, or non-calls by the referees. Do you think replay review should be allowed for judgment calls like pass interference?
In the NFL if the team that wins the coin toss for the overtime period elects to receive the ball and then scores a touchdown on the first drive, the game is over. This just happened in the AFC Championship game between the Patriots and Chiefs. Do you think both teams should have a chance to possess the ball at least once in the overtime period or should the rule remain as is?
1 – Both teams should possess the ball 58
2 – Leave rule as is 33

Fitness Advice for New Year's Resolutions
At the beginning of every year, gyms across the country are buzzing with new members who have made resolutions to lose weight, get back in shape or live a more active lifestyle. However, as the weeks go by, it can be challenging for some to stick to those resolutions. Steve Ball, professor at the University of Missouri and one of the nation's leading experts on fitness and exercise, says that for resolutions to stick, people need to focus not only on outcome goals, but also goals related to the process of being physically active. You can read more about Dr. Ball's advice here.
Dr. Ball also has comments on new federal guidelines for physical activity, which suggest that adults should aim for 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each week, and any amount of time spent doing physical activity now counts toward the goal of active minutes. Prior guidelines had called for at least 10 minutes of activity for it to count.
There are video and audio resources available for broadcast-quality download here. The video features Donna Fox, who has recently made changes to lead a more active lifestyle and considers herself a "gym rat" now after never setting foot in a gym while growing up in the Caribbean.
As January winds down and the thrill of New Year's resolutions wears off, Dr. Ball's expertise in fitness and physical activity can be used as encouragement to stay on track with New Year's fitness resolutions.

Historic Drive by Saudi Woman as Driving Ban Lifts
Saudi woman racer commemorates the reversal of the ban on female drivers with a lap of honour
Female racing driver Aseel Al Hamad celebrated the end of the ban on women drivers with a lap of honour in a Jaguar F-TYPE. Aseel, the first female board member of the Saudi Arabian Motor Federation, had never driven on a track in her home country before.
Aseel said:
"Having loved cars since I was a child, today is highly emotional for me. This is the best driving moment of my life. What better way to kick off World Driving Day than a lap of honour in my home country in a Jaguar F-TYPE – the ultimate car to roar around the track. I hope people around the world will share in our joy today by sharing their most memorable driving story using #worlddrivingday."
Aseel joined Jaguar in a call for June 24th to be known as World Driving Day – a day when finally, the whole world can enjoy the thrill of being behind the wheel of a car.
On World Driving Day Jaguar invites people to share a memory of their best driving moment (image or anecdote) using the #worlddrivingday.
By creating World Driving Day, Jaguar urges people to remember this historic day and what it means to women, to Saudi Arabia and to world progress in general. As part of its ongoing work with over 40 Universities and Academic institutions globally on future mobility solutions, the company will also be partnering with University in Saudi Arabia to join this global network. The partnership, to be announced later this year, will be a unique exchange to tap into the brightest young minds in Saudi Arabia to shape the company's future innovations as it moves to ACES (an Autonomous, Connected, Electrified and Shared future).
Jaguar Land Rover spokesperson, Fiona Pargeter, Customer Experience Director comments:
"It's easy to forget and take for granted the enjoyment of driving and just what a privilege it is to get behind the wheel of a car. World Driving Day is a commitment from Jaguar to celebrate this key moment annually for both men and women. This year, we're really excited to collaborate with the brilliant students from Saudi Arabia to shape the future of mobility for people around the world."

Influential Women at Wellesley
This January, Wellesley College will host several of the world's most influential women, including Sally Yates, Wendy Sherman, Andrea Mitchell, Katharine H.S. Moon, and Madeleine Albright herself, as part of the Madeleine Korbel Albright Institute for Global Affairs ninth annual Wintersession, a three-week intensive program at Wellesley that educates the next generation of women leaders.
● On January 8, from 10:45 a.m. to 12 p.m., the Albright Institute welcomes Sally Yates, former U.S. Deputy Attorney General (2015-2017). Yates will present a keynote talk, "Principles Not Policy: Essential Norms in Preserving the Rule of Law," exploring the vital role of trust in creating stable and just societies. This event will be available via livestream.
● On January 16, from 2 to 3:30 p.m., a group of North Korea experts will present "Beyond the Headlines: Understanding Korea," led by Katharine Moon, Edith Stix Wasserman Professor of Asian Studies at Wellesley and nonresident senior fellow with Brookings. This event will be available via livestream.

Sherman, senior counselor at Albright Stonebridge Group and former U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs (2011 to 2015). This event will be available via livestream.
● On the final day of Wintersession, January 25, Secretary Albright will join Andrea Mitchell of NBC News speaking at the closing ceremony for Albright Fellows. This event will not be livestreamed.
About the Albright Institute Wintersession
This year's Albright Institute Wintersession will educate a cohort of 48 Wellesley student fellows representing 18 countries, 18 U.S. states, and 26 majors. Following two weeks of classes and panels led by prominent speakers, the fellows spend the final week of the program working together in interdisciplinary groups to develop solutions that address a critical world issue. This year's theme is "Harnessing the Power of Technology: Navigating Truth and Trust in a World Transformed."
"The Albright Institute is educating the next generation of global leaders—with its interdisciplinary, experiential approach to learning and its expert faculty, talented students, and the powerful and influential women leaders it brings to Wellesley's campus, including former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, Wellesley Class of 1959," said Wellesley College President Paula A. Johnson. "The global problems we face—including threats to democracy, climate change, and poverty and income inequality—are increasingly complex and fraught, with the potential for worldwide repercussions. The Albright Institute is preparing its students to meet tomorrow's challenges head on, and the world has never needed them more."
More on Albright Institute Featured Speakers
Sally Yates, a 27-year veteran of the U.S. Department of Justice, spent more than two decades as a federal prosecutor in Georgia and was appointed U.S. Deputy Attorney General in 2015 by President Barack Obama. She was named acting U.S. Attorney General in January 2017 and served in that position for just 10 days before being fired for defying the Trump administration's controversial travel ban—an executive order temporarily halting entrance to the United States from seven predominantly Muslim countries. Yates's talk, "Principles Not Policy: Essential Norms in Preserving the Rule of Law," will be moderated Lawrence A. Rosenwald, Anne Pierce Rogers Professor of American Literature, professor of English, and co-director of the Peace and Justice Studies program at Wellesley. The talk will be followed by a lunch with the fellows, who will have an opportunity to converse with Yates directly.
Albright Institute Director Joanne Murray said, "No one represents the mission of the Albright Institute better than Sally Yates—cultivating in fellows the habits of principled clarity, bold service, and courageous action to shape a better world."
During her time as undersecretary of state, Wendy Sherman was the lead U.S. negotiator in the landmark nuclear agreement with Iran. For this and other diplomatic accomplishments, Sherman was awarded the National Security Medal by President Obama. According to Murray, Sherman "demonstrated the ability to bring opposing countries to consensus and to forge trust. She will share what deliberative negotiating means as Albright Fellows sort through potential policy solutions to the problems posed to them."
The January 16 panel led by Professor Katharine H.S. Moon, "Beyond the Headlines: Understanding Korea," will feature three panelists: Jieun Baek, a Ph.D. candidate in public policy at the University of Oxford, former research fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard, and author of North Korea's Hidden Revolution: How the Information Underground is Transforming a Closed Society; Melissa Hanham, senior research associate in the East Asia Nonproliferation Program; and a third panelist, who works on a variety of causes related to human rights issues, including rights for North Korean defectors in South Korea.
In addition to Yates, Sherman, and these experts, this year's program will feature an array of other distinguished individuals, including Anne Richard, U.S. assistant secretary of state for population, refugees, and migration from 2012 to 2017, and Jonathan Zittrain, George Bemis Professor of International Law at Harvard Law School and professor at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and faculty director of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society.

In Reconstructing Karl Polanyi: Excavation and Critique, Gareth Dale contributes a further volume to his decade-long research into the life and thought of the influential political economist. Here, he provides an account of Polanyi's specific contributions to the social sciences, reconstructs some of his more complex or elusive concepts and reflects on the relevance of his theories to present-day issues including the European Union. While he would recommend Dale's previous works to those less familiar with Polanyi due to the book's density, Chris Moreh praises this as a magisterial addition to Dale's project that ensures that Polanyi's thought is more alive than ever.

Zur Erschließung der fehlenden Teilstücke zwischen Aberdeen und Inverness ließ die Great North of Scotland Railway neben der Inverness and Nairn Railway die Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway errichten. Diese sollte den Findhorn am Westrand von Forres queren. Mit der Konstruktion des Findhorn Viaducts betraute die Bahngesellschaft den schottischen Ingenieur Joseph Mitchell. Zur Eröffnung des ersten Teilstücks der Bahnstrecke 1858 war der Findhorn Viaduct noch nicht fertiggestellt. Aus diesem Grund wurde zur Bedienung von Forres  bis zur Fertigstellung des Findhorn Viaducts am 18. August desselben Jahres am gegenüberliegenden linken Ufer des Findhorn ein Behelfsbahnhof eingerichtet.

Beschreibung
Der Findhorn Viaduct überspannt den Findhorn am Westrand von Forres. Die 185 Meter lange Brücke gliedert sich in drei Felder. Die schmiedeeisernen, gevouteten Gurte ruhen auf Mauerwerkspfeilern, die 5,5 Meter tief im Fels unterhalb des Flussbetts gegründet sind. Sie sind als Klammern fortgeführt und umschließen die Eisenbrüstungen der Strecke. Die Lichte Höhe des Viadukts über dem Fluss beträgt 5,6 Meter. Die Bahnstrecke ist eingleisig über den Viadukt geführt.

Moscow court to review Russian Credit's claims against ex-banker Motylev
Tags: Bankruptcy, Moscow Commercial Court, Anatoly Motylev, Moscow, Russia
MOSCOW, May 25 (RAPSI) – The Moscow Commercial Court will review on June 27 a claim filed by the Russian Credit bank seeking to include nearly 33.3 billion rubles ($539.7 million) in the creditors' demands list against former head of the banking group Anatoly Motylev, the court documents read.
In April, Motylev filed an appeal with the Ninth Commercial Court of Appeals against the ruling that initiated a property sale procedure.
In February, the Moscow Commercial Court declared Motylev bankrupt.
In January, the court granted claims filed by two companies and a number of persons asking to include 15 billion rubles (about $266 million) in creditors' demands list against Motylev.
On February 6, 2017, the court initiated debt restructuring process against Motylev on the request of Flowery Development Limited. The businessman owes the company 974 million rubles ($17.2 million).
On July 22, 2016, Flowery Development filed the bankruptcy claim against Motylev but it was not reviewed by the court because of lack of provided evidence. The court accepted the claim after all violations were lifted.
Motylev is the former owner of several Russian banks including Russian credit, M-Bank and Tulsky Industrialist. In the summer of 2015, the Central Bank of Russia withdrew the licenses of those banks. All four banks were declared bankrupt.
According to business media, Motylev is a defendant in a large-scale fraud case reportedly related to alleged embezzlement at M-Bank. In May 2016, the Basmanny District Court of Moscow seized Motylev's property including land plots and apartments in the Moscow Region.

"How can EDA help solve challenges in automotive connectivity?"
Connected vehicles are one of the most challenging parts in automotive, as they require data processing, Ethernet connectivity, antennae and more connections. The only way engineers can do modern designs in wiring these together is through integration between mechanical and electrical software, which may involve electrical analysis and connectivity issues. Can modern EDA help you here?
Walden C. Rhines, chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics, speaks to Dilin Anand and Jitin David of EFY
Walden C. Rhines, chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics
Q. What is the biggest new challenge solved by EDA tools for the automotive industry?
A. Complexity has grown so fast that they cannot manage it in any other way. Especially, now there are safety, regulatory and performance requirements that just make it absolutely imperative that they verify their designs for all sorts of conditions. You need to show a paper trail that you have verified the operations over all extremes of temperature, analysed the electrical characteristics thoroughly, anticipated the impact of various failures that could occur and ensured that they were not catastrophic. The only way you can verify these is virtually.
Q. Comparing with challenges from a decade ago, how have automotive electronics engineers' need for EDA tools evolved?
A. Since introducing the first wire harness product in 1992, it has been a fairly slow evolution. However, the good news for us is that automotive electronics has increased to a level where it is no longer possible to design wiring by hand. You just have to use automated/semi-automated wiring
software—it is very much like the placing problem in printed circuit board (PCB) or integrated circuit. The engineer has constraints due to all those rules that automotive companies accumulated, and then there are mechanical constraints too.
Q. Could you share an instance of the new kind of constraints that these software help tackle?
A. The software may have constraints such as 'no more than six wires in a bundle in a wet zone of a car,' and 'no more than ten wires in the dry zone,' or it may have a constraint that says, 'be sure that all the wire bundles can fit through the hole in the door frame,' all of which you have to verify without physically trying to force a bundle of wires through the hole each time.
Q. How does software help solve this problem?
A. The only way you can do this is through integration between mechanical and electrical software, which may involve problems such as electrical analysis and connectivity issues. Software today automatically creates a bill of materials (BoM) and tells you how many feet of wire would be required amongst other things. It needs to be three-dimensional and be able to compute distances that are not in a simple XY plane.
There might be companies today who do it all push-button, and then there are companies that do it semi-automatically, but no one today can still design a car manually. In fact, we even have motorcycle manufacturers who use this software.
Q. What is one factor that could have the biggest impact on the EDA industry?
A. With most integrated circuits, the progressions of history have been designing them so that at most you could sell one chip per person or one chip per household and so on. With the Internet of Things (IoT), you go from selling millions or billions to selling tens of billions or hundreds of billions.
So when the number of designs that has to be done increases, the total revenue for the semiconductor industry increases. the information that has to be processed from the IoT requires massive resources for computing analysis. The bigger the IoT, the more things that are covered and the more activity for EDA.
Q. What according to you would be the most challenging engineering aspect of IoT and automotive coming together?
A. Connected vehicles are one of the more challenging parts of IoT in automotive. The IoT includes a lot of other things. For example, we are not far from the point where most vehicles would have Internet connectivity. We will be able to download and upload information as we travel, not necessarily to control the vehicle, but to have entertainment, weather inputs and other data that flows back and forth. That is all a part of the IoT. It requires data processing, Ethernet connections and antennae types of things.

It has been well documented in history that a defining factor that can help win elections is the media. The media has such a broad range of connecting with people it can literally make the difference between winning and losing. There are multiple ways to to provide information to such a wide audience and journalists have taken advantage of this and are posting content to social media. Politicians have also realized the wide audience that they can reach by using social media. A classic example of this would be Barack Obama's rise to presidency. He was the first U.S president to realize he can gather more votes using the social web sphere, this action as a result made history when he was announced as the first African American President of the United States.
In Australia however it seems to have taken a step in a different direction. The 2013 election between Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott was notably filled with slanderous content against the labor party. This is an example of bad journalism and news broadcasting. Rupert Murdoch filled his papers with anti labor content throughout the country. The front page spread of The Daily Telegraph with its slogan 'Kick this mob out' caused massive controversy throughout the country, with many labor supporters arguing against The Daily Telegraph for not having a single mention of Tony Abbott and the Liberal party. This sparked multiple retaliation videos and social media posts towards Rupert Murdoch. Get Up a response video telling Mr Murdoch that we can choose our own government was a huge success throughout Australia with 779 thousand views on YouTube. It tells that the slanderous work of Mr Murdoch shouldn't decide the votes for Australian people and they should vote for what they believe.
This example just shows the power that media moguls have over the media. They can alter the media to abide with their opinions and in the end that is not good journalism.

Joseph and Marilyn Gabriele Scholarship Fund
In conjunction with the retirement of Deacon Joe Gabriele at the end of 2010 (after more than three decades of service to the parish!), a scholarship was set up to celebrate the contributions of both Deacon Joe and his wife Marilyn, who served for many years as a teacher at our school.
The Joseph and Marilyn Gabriele Scholarship Fund offers needs-based scholarships to students at St. Mary's School.
Parishioners and friends wishing to donate to the fund may make checks payable to:
St. Mary's School and indicate on the check
"Gabriele Scholarship Fund."
Donations may be sent to the Parish Office:
Simsbury, CT 06070.
The following is a letter from Father William Metzler (Pastor 1997-2012) which was distributed to the Parish in February 2011.
Dear Parishioners and Friends,
As you are all aware, Deacon Joe Gabriele recently announced that after 33 years of faithful and devoted service to the Archdiocese, he has decided to retire. The entire St. Mary's family will certainly miss his smiling countenance beaming from the altar on Sunday mornings; his thoughtful homilies delivered with passion and a good sprinkling of humor; the comfort and strength he so generously gave us in our times of need; and the warmth and love he radiated during sacramental celebrations.
Deacon Joe entered the Diaconate as his extremely successful career as a Teacher, Principal and Assistant Superintendent of Schools was culminating. He became our Deacon in 1977 and has ministered to the spiritual needs of our parish for the past 33 years. During that time, he also served for six years as the Archdiocesan Director of the Diaconate. His appointment to the Director's role represented the first time in the United States that a non-priest or religious was asked to function in that capacity. In 1984, after retiring from the Simsbury Public School system, Deacon Joe was asked to "temporarily" lead St. Mary's School as Principal. His wife Marilyn had been teaching there for eight years prior to Deacon Joe joining the staff. The Gabrieles continued to serve the school together for another seven years.
Sunday afternoon, March 13th, a reception is planned from 2:00 - 4:00 pm in the Parish Center to allow the members and friends of St Mary's to personally say thank you to Deacon Joe for his spiritual leadership and his thoughtful service.
To mark the occasion of this retirement, several parishioners have created a fund to honor Deacon Joe's retirement and to say thank you to both Joe and Marilyn for their years of service. The fund is "The Joseph and Marilyn Gabriele Scholarship Fund," which will be utilized to offer needs based scholarships to the students of St. Mary's School. What better way to honor a lifetime of achievement as educators?
Parishioners and friends wishing to donate to the fund may make checks payable to: St. Mary's School. Please indicate on the check "Gabriele Scholarship Fund." Donations may be made at the reception or sent to the Parish Office at P.O. Box 575, Simsbury, CT 06070. One of our parishioners has offered a "Challenge Grant" to kick off the campaign. All scholarship fund donations made by April 15th will be matched dollar for dollar for the first five thousand dollars. Obviously, we hope to raise much more; but what a wonderful way to kick off the campaign!
We look forward to seeing you on Sunday afternoon, March 13th.
Father Metzler
