Background: Gait Profile Score (GPS) was validated as quality measure for the Gait Analysis (GA) in several patholgies, but GPS was never compared with clinical scales in post-stroke patients.
Objective: The aim of the study was to quantify functional limitation of post-stroke hemiparetic patients using clinical-functional scales and GPS and to assess the presence of correlation between GPS and the clinical-based outcome scales.
Methods: Thirty-three patients were assessed with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Ten-Meter Walk Test (10-MWT); GPS was obtained by GA.
Results: GPS showed a fair relationship with FAC (p = 0. 017; r = –0. 412), TIS (p = 0. 011, r = –0. 436) and 10-MWT (p = 0. 009, r = 0. 49) and good correlation with BBS (p = 0. 001; r = –0. 561). The three regression models were statistically significant: Model 1 showed that FAC, GPS and FIM had a statistically significant effect in the determination of the BBS, in model 2 and 3, FIM presented a statistically significant effect on TIS determination.
Conclusion: GPS seems to be an independent linear predictor of balance performance in stroke patient, and GVSs on sagittal plane might help clinicians to investigate the acquired compensatory strategies.
The relationship between Gait Profile Score and clinical assessments in 33 post-stroke patients was investigated in this study. The results exhibited that the Gait Profile Score showed a fair relationship with Functional Ambulation Category, Trunk Impairment Scale and Ten-Meter Walk Test and good correlation with the Berg Balance Scale in the hemiparetic group. This study may have clinical implications for rehabilitation evaluation of poststroke hemipa-retic patients. This will enable rehabilitation clinicians to quantify the rehabilitation needs of patients more easily, measure rehabilitation progress, and study the relationship between balance and gait impairment.

Martin Announces John Mayer D-45
vendredi 5 janvier 2018, 20:33 , par Sweetwater inSync
John Mayer has a longstanding history with Martin. Long before his 2003 OM-28 and now-standard-issue OMJM, John has depended on Martin to bring his unique brand of folk, blues, and pop music to life. His latest Custom Signature Edition guitar, the D-45 John Mayer dreadnought, celebrates a bolder, more traditional sound that Mayer puts to good use in his current role as co-guitarist for Bob Weir’s Dead & Company. This specially appointed D-45 is limited to a run of just 45 the world over. Each instrument comes hand signed by Mayer himself, to the delight of any fan or collector.
“It’s a tremendous honor to be John’s acoustic guitar of choice for nearly 20 years,” says Martin Director of Marketing Chris Thomas. “Considering the robust sound and level of appointments, we expect them to be completely spoken for before the close of the NAMM Show in January.”
John’s exclusive D-45 promises legendary Martin performance alongside charmed antique looks. Mayer’s personal touches include a hand-filling Full Thickness mahogany neck, a stunningly aged Engelmann spruce top on Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, and gold open-gear tuners with butterbean knobs.
Sonically, the D-45 John Mayer is as versatile as its namesakes: strummed chords come across rich and full, with a presence that floats to the top of a mix; leads and fingerpicking take on soul, sustain, and sparkling harmonics courtesy of John’s unique tonewoods and C.F. Martin’s time-honored construction, including forward-shifted X-bracing and distinguished dovetail neck joint.
With only 45 of these guitars available, they’re bound to go quick. Contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer to find out if the Martin D-45 John Mayer is right for you.

Air temp 66*F
Approximately 2.5' in length. 6-8 segments on rattle. Air temperature 75-80 degF. Found among a number of rodent holes. Undoubtedly waiting in ambush when I happened along and disturbed it.
Southern Pacific Rattlesnake on trail, by stream, in shade.
Crotalus is a genus of venomous pit vipers found only in the Americas from southern Canada to northern Argentina. The name is derived from the Greek word krotalon, which means "rattle" or "castanet", and refers to the rattle on the end of the tail which makes this group (genera Crotalus and Sistrurus) so distinctive. 32 species are currently recognized.

I was actually out of the house and headed to the gas station before 8am. It was a few minutes after 8 when I left the gas station and headed on my trip. I had spent a little time last night writing down the estimated arrival times at each of the sites. Leaving the gas station, the GPS had already calculated that I would beat my estimated time to the first stop by 10 minutes.
I was about 20 minutes early getting to the site in Tupelo. No traffic on the Natchez Trace, nor in Tupelo before 10am. A few one-way streets around the courthouse area makes getting a decent picture an easy chore.
The estimated time to Flora was for 1:45, even with a longer than expected gas stop, I was able to beat the time by 45 minutes. The location made another picture an easy task.
Getting to Flora so much earlier, I decided to add the Vicksburg Battlefield to my stop. I wanted to pick up my lifetime pass, and they would have it since you have to pay to get into the park there.
I arrived at the park shortly after 2pm. Something looked odd about the place. As I neared the booth, a sign said that the pay booth was closed and no fee was required. I didn’t think much of that, thinking it must have been a special event for the day. I drove up to the Visitor Center when I realized the front was covered with a chain grate. I asked one of the people if the visitor center was closed and they said it was closed. One guy mentioned that the Park Ranger had taken his passport to get it stamped and should be back in a few minutes. I waited for the Park Ranger and asked him where I could get my pass. We had a nice chat, seems that most of the National Park Visitor Centers are closed and not accepting payment. There are a few and he tried to find one close to here. No luck.
I made my way to Jackson for the Merci Boxcar. The exit ramp for downtown was closed, so there was a detour. I think I would have been willing to try my luck in a construction zone instead of a war zone. The streets were awful. I had to dodge street grates, or should I say the openings in the street where there were supposed to be grates!
I got to the center with the boxcar, riding up the back of the building to get a picture. There was a chain across the driveway, so I had to exit the same way I came in. I got a couple of pictures and will have to look them over when I get home. Then I realized that the camera battery is low.
I thought about heading around the Old Capitol to get the picture of the Doughboy carvings, but the roads were just too bad for me to consider it today.
I made my way back to the interstate and headed to Meridian. I found the Doughboy there that I have visited each year, almost like seeing an old friend. A few blocks later I was at the hotel.
You meet all sorts of people when you travel. I will just leave it at that. Route planned for tomorrow and loaded into GPS and phone.
Another first night on a trip with a good night sleep. I had planned to get the bed by 10pm, but kept working on last minute things that crossed my mind. It was closer to 11pm before I turned off the light.
I grabbed some eggs and sausage for breakfast. I only took one sip of the hotel’s coffee and regretted not doing my own.
I got loaded and started off about 30 minutes ahead of my scheduled start time. I was a couple of miles up the road before I realized that I hadn’t started the cell tracking app. I did start the SpotX when I left the hotel. I found a place to pull over to start the app, then got moving again.
First stop was in Quitman. I parked between the courthouse and the Port Office. I got my pictures and was back on the bike fairly quickly.
Back roads that were fantastic which led to I-59. I stayed on the interstate until I got Hattiesburg. I wound my way through town and got to the 9-11 memorial. It was either last year or the year before when this site was one of the Tour of Honor sites. I looked over the list of names. When the memorial was installed, they had printed the names on paper between two pieces of plexiglass. Over the few years the memorial has been here, the names are starting to fade. To me, it is a grim reminder that over time, the memory of the event will start to fade.
I didn’t understand why it was going to take so long from Hattiesburg to Columbia. It was only 30 miles and divided four lane most of the way, but GPS said 45 minutes. Nope, took over an hour. This stretch of Mississippi has more stop lights than people! One stretch had people backed up at a couple of lights waiting for the next light to change to clear the next intersection. Once I got clear of Hattiesburg, it was clear roads to Columbia. Across the street from the memorial was a huge parking spot. At first I thought the road was a lot wider before I realized it was a brick parking lot.
Leaving Columbia, I got caught in a caravan of log trucks. I don’t like being behind semi-trucks. It isn’t that they don’t go fast enough, many will go the speed limit or faster. The problem is usually the wind buffeting that I experience when I follow behind them. The problem with the log trucks is the debris that them comes off the logs. I was dodging limbs for what seemed like forever.
Once I got to Liberty, I had to park across the street. I made a left turn and the trucks all seemed to be going straight at that intersection. I was happy. I got a few pictures and was ready to start rolling again.
The lot I had pulled into was sloped, uneven, and a lot of loose gravel. I tried to backup to turn around. Then the back tire was in a pothole and I couldn’t push it back any more. I looked around and decided to drive across the small patch of grass and leave via to next door neighbor’s driveway. During the whole time, two trucks made the left turn and I ended up behind them. I was able to get around them within a few miles.
Once I crossed into Louisiana, I experienced a new issue. I would get behind a car or truck. In no-passing zones, they would do 10-20 miles an hour under the speed limit. As we would get to a passing zone, they would speed up to 10-20 OVER the speed limit. With the roads being nice and twisty, trying to find a stretch long enough to get around was a challenge. There wasn’t a lot of traffic, just not many placing to pass.
In contract to Mississippi having more stop lights than people, Louisiana could use a few more stop light in rural areas. A heavily used state road crosses US61 (which has a speed limit of 65mph and has a lot of traffic). The truck in front of me needed to turn left, just like me. I was about ready to make a right turn and go until I found a turn around area when the truck worked his way to the area between the lanes. I followed and was able to get around him when we got into the other lanes.
Being around him was short lived. I had to stop at Jackson for the Tour of Honor site. I pulled in and worked to get pictures. I had noticed what looked like a dark cloud as I neared this site. It was the Louisiana state bird in mating season, the gnat! They were so thick that the they covered the windshield and the helmet face shield. When I stopped, they found their way into my helmet, even a few worked their way to my nose.
Once rolling again, I was quickly in Baton Rouge. The billboard noted that the Baton Rouge Police are among the lowest paid in the nation, “enter at your own risk.” I kid you not! I wasn’t excited about driving in downtown Baton Rouge, but it was lunch time.
I was able to ride toward the state capitol. The round about that I used two years ago had the road I wanted to use blocked. I headed back the way I came in and found a parking spot. As I was looking through the area, I could see the Gold Star Family memorial thought the trees. I got a picture of the bike with the memorial in the background, though it was hard to see. I went over to the memorial and got a picture with the bike in the background, also hard to see. I submitted them both, and Eric has already sent a note that they were both great pictures.
I headed for the Merci Boxcar a few blocks away. I waited at a red light, but there was no other traffic behind me, so the sensor never picked up that I was there. I waited until traffic was clear and made the left turn.
The Merci Boxcar was on display behind a fence. There was no parking beside the fence, so I just turned on the flashers and got a couple of pictures. This makes my second Merci Boxcar, Mississippi and Louisiana. I will visit Arkansas and Alabama in the coming weeks.
I quickly got out of Baton Rouge and headed to Gonzales. The memorial there had a little park. Since this was my last stop for the day, I took a few extra minutes to look around. I found what might be another 9-11 memorial. I got several pictures and working to get the exact GPS location to submit to Eric for their review. I decided to make my reservation in Harvey, LA, southern part of New Orleans. I get a reservation and hit the road.
I managed to hit New Orleans during afternoon rush hour. Had a white Bronco weaving at slow speeds with few cars at a time getting around. Brought back memories of OJ Simpson. The GPS leading through the streets of New Orleans has a challenge. With roads on top of other roads, it is rough to see when the turn is for your street, the street above you, or the street above that! I got checked into the hotel right on schedule.
Disappointing hotel. No Wifi, no breakfast (we get a discount at a deli in the casino next door, but the don’t open until 9am), and though Google showed a couple of nice places to eat, only the deli is open during the week. The price is in-line with other hotels on this trip and is nothing special, a room with a TV and a bed. I have a coffee maker in the room, but I will only use it to heat water for my own coffee in the morning.
I slept pretty well last night. I woke up a few times, each time thinking that I had overslept, but was fully refreshed. First time was about 3am, second time was about 4:30am. Once I woke up about 5:45, I decided to get going.
I went through all the stuff I had packed. I took a shower and repacked all I had. Funny, I seemed to have more space.
I went to the lobby to verify that there was no breakfast. The desk clerk told me I could go to the casino and pick up something at the market, but it didn’t open until 9am. I loaded the bike, got my hotel receipt, and took off. I left at 7:00am, an hour ahead of schedule. A quick look at the weather showed chance of rain late morning/early afternoon in New Orleans. The early start should help me avoid the rain.
I headed south to Buras, LA, the memorial for Fort Jackson. It was a great ride, though I did slow down while behind a school bus and passed through some school zones.
I got to Fort Jackson entrance, the area looks like loose gravel. I decide to park in the gap in the median of the highway. I get a couple of good pictures and make the turn to head back up toward New Orleans.
I stop to gas up before getting into New Orleans. The gas station is at a light on the left, so I make the turn into the gas station. Getting ready to leave, I don’t trip the sensor to get a turn light. I make a right turn and go to the next opening in the median and go to make a U-turn. With gravel in the road, I have to swing wide and work to make the turn without running over the edge. I make the turn by inches.
I had set the GPS to use interstates. This would keep me from going through New Orleans and all the stop lights. Leaving early this morning, I got to New Orleans earlier than originally planned. This meant I was there at the end of the rush hour. But I still got to enjoy some off the traffic on the interstate. I got to take some slow travel due to a truck fire. The cab shell was destroyed.
I exited the interstate and headed to the neighborhood where the Tour of Honor Memorial is located. I pass many run-down houses, though people are still living in them. I pass homes that are being renovated. Many of the streets are one-way, making traversing an additional challenge. I find the memorial and get some pictures. As I leave, I notice people. There are older people sitting on the front porches, younger people walking their dogs, even a couple of college age ladies riding their bicycles.
I had added Slidell to my list at the last revision. There was a Masonic Lodge, a 9/11 Memorial, and a Huey, all within a few blocks of each other. As I pulled into the park with the 9/11 Memorial, I notice an old train station on my right. I make my way to each and get some pictures. I had opted for a different angle for the 9/11 Memorial. The suggested picture focuses on the iron beam from the Tin Towers. I focus on the fireman carrying a child, with the iron beam in the background. I have this particular picture as the background on my computer.
A few blocks away is the Huey at the American Legion. The helicopter is behind a fence to keep people from getting too close. As far as the condition, this one is about average. I have seen a few which looked like they could be put into action on a moment’s notice. Others are just pieces, sometimes not even together, with rust being the main component.
Next stop is Bay St. Louis, MS. The memorial this year is at the other side of the courthouse from the memorial of two years ago. I park close to the memorial and get pictures. I have now visited all of the Tour of Honor sites in Mississippi, but only submitted six of the seven. The other one was visited on the bride’s Spyder, I want to submit it with the GS.
I leave and head east on US-90. This takes me along the gulf coast. There appears to be a storm in the distance. The waves and the winds are making boating challenging. It is nice to see people with large kites enjoying the wind, it is blowing me around a bit. Though it is less than 30 miles, it takes almost an hour to get there. Between the traffic and the traffic lights, I am forced to enjoy the gulf coast.
The next stop is Biloxi, MS. Last year was my first year visiting this particular Gold Star Family Memorial. This year, I remembered the area and was able to find a good parking spot to get some good pictures. I got to get a close-up of the memorial and to leave a poker chip. A couple is checking the memorial, so I wait until they clear. I drop the poker chip and take a few more pictures.
I thought that my next stop would be the hotel, but I realized that Ocean Springs is right along the way. I continue eastward on US-90. Traffic is picking up with each mile, but I just relax and pull into the Civic Center. Last year I had parked in the front, only to find that the memorials are in the back of the park. Today, I make my way to the rear parking lot and get my pictures. I walk around for a few minutes to relax and make my hotel reservation for the night.
I had planned to stop at The River Shack to get my picture in front of it, but I am tired and don’t want to push myself. I hop on the interstate and I get to Tillman’s corner quickly. Once checked in, a quick supper nearby and ready for bed.
After putting the laptop and everything away, I set the alarm for 6:00am, then turned off the lights. Next thing I remember was the alarm going off! I hit snooze, but managed to get moving before the alarm went off again.
I got everything packed and loaded on the bike. I was ready to leave by 7:00am. Last night, I had parked the bike under the canopy of the entrance, backing it against the building to be out of the way. The only problem is that if someone is in the entrance driveway, I am blocked in. As I finish loading, a lady pulls in front of me. I got to check out, she is still there when I get back. Her passenger, and elderly man, is coming with a luggage trolly, with a shopping bag. Just one shopping bag. The bag is loaded with drink bottles and other things. I decide to get some juice and anything that may be there for breakfast. I watch the couple decide how to load each bottle into the car. Then he moves the trolly and goes to the front desk. Moving the trolly and them closing the back of their car, I can make my way out.
I had edited the route to use the interstate to get me past Mobile, then backroads. The lady at the hotel desk had mentioned when I checked in that there was a major event going on at the USS Alabama Park. This led me to decide to scrap visiting there this morning. I can make another visit to Mobile to spend a day there.
I leave the hotel and hop on the interstate. Traffic, but it is moving. As I get near the split to go north on I-65, the traffic staying on I-10 stops. There is an accident on the way into downtown Mobile. I make the exit onto I-65 and soon I get to US-45. No more interstate for this trip. With a few exceptions, most of the remainder will be on 2-lane roads.
After about 15 minutes on US-45, I pull over for gas. I know I will have to make one more stop along the way. There isn’t a lot of traffic out, though I do catch a few school zones. Soon I reach the intersection with AL-17 and head toward Chatom, AL.
I pull into Chatom and quickly find the memorial. I search for a parking spot close, and find one that is close to being level. I lean a little to my right to put the kickstand down on the left side. I realize that it is too close total vertical for me to get off on the left side. If I stand on the pegs, the bike will lower, which will make the bike lean to the right, and it will fall over. I put my right foot down and start to ease my left foot over the bike. My foot is almost over the bike when the bike starts to lean to the right. Before I can catch it, we are both on the ground. I positioned myself to make sure the bike didn’t fall on me, but I still hit the ground on my back. My head bumped the pavement, putting a scratch on the back of the helmet. I laid on the ground for a minute, then get up, take off my helmet and gloves, then access the situation. I try to pick it up, but the angle has too much weight for me to pick up at this angle.
While I decide what to do next, I go ahead and get a picture of the bike with the memorial. Yep, the bike is still on its side. A few minutes later, a gentleman walks past. I ask if he can give me a quick hand to pick up the bike. I have the kickstand down, and it is easy to pick up with two of us. Though we have it up, if we let go, it wants to lay back down. I ask him to just hold the bike up by pushing it toward the kickstand. I hop on and I have everything under control, so the gentleman leaves.
“Everything under control,” or so I thought… The bike is nose down to the curb and it is uphill to head out. If I had backed into the parking spot, there would have been no problems. But I now have the bike upright, but gravity is still wanting to fight me. Another gentleman walks up and offers to give me a push. His help is just enough to get me backed up. I go to the top of the hill and park the bike on level ground. As I get off the bike to go get my helmet and gloves, the gentleman has already brought them to me.
We talk a bit and he tells me that he talked with another guy a few days ago who was also taking a picture of his bike and the memorial with his yellow flag. I spend a few minutes telling him about the Tour of Honor. I mention that there is supposed to be a 9/11 Memorial nearby, at the base of a flag pole. I show him the picture and we both agree that there isn’t a place within site that matches that picture. I hit the GPS coordinates in the app and it brings up a map, centered on the location. He looks at the map and his eyes light up. He knows that place and it has a couple o memorials. At first, I think that I will just scrap the site and head on to the next one. He convinces me that it is close and worth the 15-to-20-minute diversion. He points down the street and says to turn right, the memorial is at the fire station at mile marker 6. “You can’t miss it!” I joke that he shouldn’t challenge me like that, I can miss it.
I leave him with a card and a poker chip, then follow his directions. One of the few times that “you can’t miss it” is actually true. I could see the fire station well before I got to it. I park in the parking lot (which is level!) and see several memorials. The one in particular I want is just a plaque at the base of the flagpole. I walk over and see a plaque, but not the one I want. I don’t see any other flagpoles, then realize that I was standing on the plaque. The first plaque was when the flagpole was installed and dedicated, the second plaque was for the 9/11 casualties and the first responders who helped. I get some pictures then head back into town, with the vague thought that I might see that gentleman again.
I head to Carrollton. I have visited this particular doughboy the last two years, but not the first year I did the Tour of Honor in 2018. This statue is part of a display with two other statues, located on the lawn of the courthouse square. Only problem is that parking is challenging to get close since there is no parking on the courthouse side of the block. Last year, my timing was right and I parked against the curb, got a quick picture, and was rolling again without having to shut off the bike. This year seems to have a little more traffic. And I already escaped one event earlier today as well as a meeting of a Carrollton Police Officer about a month ago on my Iron Butt Ride. I got lucky on that ride, but did spend time talking about bikes, jobs, and life in general. Today, I park across the street and get a picture of the bike with the statue in the background. As I hope back on the bike, I realize that I have parked (legally I might add) in front of the Carrollton Police Department. I actually had hoped to see that officer again, but I wasn’t going to go knocking on the door!
With just a light breakfast, I am starting to get hungry. Now I start looking for places to eat. I ride up to Reform, nothing really drawing my interest. As I leave town, the GPS has me taking a County Road. I check my gas gauge and the low fuel light hasn’t come on, but it could at any time. I make a U-Turn back to Reform to fill up with gas. I don’t want to be off on a secondary road, not knowing how well it is travelled, only to run out of gas.
Once gassed up, I gladly take off on Loop Rd, then making the turn onto County Road 27. I spend the next 20 minutes enjoying a narrow, winding country road. Suddenly, I am in Millport, AL on AL-96. This road is familiar! I follow the GPS’s directions and make a right, then find AL-17 again. I make the left and I am back on roads that I remember.
The GPS indicates that there are a few places to eat, but none directly on the route. One appears to be close to the road, but it looks to be someone’s house! It did have a sign, but not sure I wanted to take the chance. (Looking it up on Google Maps, I should have stopped there. Maybe next time)
I pass through Vernon and see the standard chains of McDonald’s Taco Bell, and Sonic. I do see an ice cream shoppe, but the parking brings back nightmares of earlier today. I know there are at least two places in Sulligent, so I keep going. As I get close to town, I see another ice cream place, Polar Bear. A semi-truck blocked my view of the place until I was past it. I think about it for a few minutes, knowing that there is still Bama Boys BBQ ahead. I decide to save Bama Boys BBQ for another trip. I find a place to make a U-Turn and head back. At first, I think I will just be getting some ice cream to hold me over until supper, but I see people sitting inside. I park the bike and stroll in.
I find a table and a young lady brings me a menu. It is a good sign of good food, a simple sheet of paper with the menu. They managed to cram a lot of items on the menu, only a few things mention ice cream. I narrow down to an 8oz cheeseburger and a side of slaw. While I wait, I ask to add a strawberry milk shake to the order. It didn’t dawn on me that 8oz is a half pound! The cheeseburger came and it was much bigger and thicker than I had expected. Not only that, it was awesome! I heard the blender going that was making my milk shake. Some places start all their milk shakes with vanilla ice cream, then add flavoring. Not here, they started with the strawberry ice cream. I only ordered a small milk shake, and enjoyed every drop of it.
I brought home a copy of the menu to review for next time in the area. They have PoBoys, steak sandwiches, and a full bar open whenever their doors are open, except on Sunday. Not sure about Bama Boys BBQ, but this is a place where I would gladly bring others on a ride here.
It was back to familiar roads. I changed my plans, deciding to pass on Red Bay and Iuka for another ride. I was ready to get home.
Last night, I had a dream where I almost ran into the back of a log truck. I woke up before I hit it, and don’t remember whether I ran into the back of it, or if it rolled back into me. Either way, I did remember the truck. At the intersection of US-43 and AL-13, I see a log truck stopped ahead of me. As I neared it, the dream came clearly to my mind. I stopped several car lengths behind the truck, ready to swerve around it if it started to roll back. One it turned onto US-43/AL-13, I took the opportunity to get up to speed and pass it as soon as I could.
From here, it is all four lane roads, mostly divided four lane until I turn into my neighborhood. I stopped for gas at CircleK, turning off all my tracking devices, then made the mile ride home. MaryJo was still at the library, so I opened the door and pulled the bike in. Unloaded the bike, a nice hot shower, and took Blue outside.
Four days on the road, three nights, 1,500 miles, and plenty of memories and pictures.
Glad to be home. I have just under 35,000 miles on the bike. After the incident today, the thought of a bike that is more stable when parked in gaining some interest. I will check with adjusting the suspension settings on the bike to see if that can help.
Relaxing tonight and going to head to bed, my own bed, early.

By Jeff Sanford
Toronto, Ontario -- November 4, 2015 -- The biggest recall in the history of the automobile industry continues to hang over the sector. Getting this recall done will take time and effort. Recently the US-based National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) took an unprecedented step when executives suggested the organization may call upon collision repair centres to help get the recall order accomplished.
As it is, some 23.4 million air bag inflators have been recalled on 19.2 million vehicles sold by 12 auto and truck makers. This represents as much as 10 percent of the entire auto fleet in North America. Getting all this work done could be a serious strain on the dealership network. So no wonder the idea of getting collision repair shops to do some of this work has been floated by the NHTSA.
Should Canada follow a similar policy? In comments to Collision Repair magazine last week, Transport Canada officials suggested the use of collision repair facilities to help achieve the recall is an option. In a more recent conversation, LeanneJeffries, Director of Collision Programs at Automotive Industries Association of Canada, suggested there is broad support for such a policy in the industry.
She noted she brought the idea up at a recent AIA meeting. Those around the table, including senior executives from many of the large banner, network and franchise collision repair organizations, seemed agreeable, she said.
“I was in the most recent AIA Collision Council meeting. I brought up the question of helping out on the recall with those on the council as a way to gauge the reaction. In general, they seemed open to the idea of helping with the installations, as it could open the door to customers who have not had an accident. This would also help a lot of drivers get back on the road with replacement, and safe, airbags,” said Jeffries. “Members of the AIA Collision Council were open to the idea of discussing how they can help.”
Of course, there would be details to hammer out. “Obviously there would be a cost for this,” said Jeffries. She also noted that, “The air bags likely need scanning and calibration done at the dealer with a factory scan tool. But collision repairers could do the heavy lifting to have them installed.”
As it stands, the NHTSA is prioritizing the replacement of the bags. This defect seems to occur more frequently in humid climates, so vehicles in the most humid places will be repaired first. Cars that also need side airbags (as well as front airbags) installed will also get priority The bottleneck right now is around the supply of replacement bags. But the replacements have started to flow according to NHTSA execs. As that flow picks up the bottleneck is expected to shift to the number of facilities that can perform the replacement, hence the comments last week.
The National Automobile Dealers Association has pointed out that there are legal questions outstanding—Takata contracts say the work has to be done at dealership—but the NHTSA officials suggested these issues can be dealt with.

I haven't done a clutch job yet, but i plan on taking this one apart and learning all i can from it. Bases on the research i've done so far, make sure the engine and tranny are supported from up top or below. Also make sure you have some sort of tool to counter hold the flywheel if you are swapping them. I picked up an mk4 with the dual mass that is slipping in 5th gear, so i'm putting a Luk solid flywheel on. Just thought i'd mention that.....I have TB tools for BEW. Could use some help with a clutch problem myself if you know how to re/re.
Anthony, long time, how is the sidekick going?. That would be a great help with the tools, any chance you have any thing for a clutch flywheel counter hold. I've seen guys cutting off a piece of flywheel and putting a bolt through it and it works great to hold it in place.Steve, you're welcome to borrow my timing tool kit.
shoot me a text and we'll set something up.
Counter hold tool, I had a spare piece of steel, and drilled a hole in it, and used a bolt to hold it in place as it jammed the flywheel. Once you are under there it's not hard to figure out.
There's a slot in the flywheel/PP that allows easier access to those two bolts, rotate until you find it.... That and a wobble bit should is all you should need.Anyways, that oil pan on the tranny side with those 2 hidden 10mm bolts are a pain in the butt. I still have to put the oil pan back on. Have to head into work soon. So hopefully that might help anyone else.
I wish i would have seen the hockey puck tip sooner, oh well....I'm back on track now.
I saw the diy that chitty did. I rotated while i was under there with the led light. I didn't see any gap. I changed the DMF flywheel to a solid Valeo kit. I'm thinking that might be why???. I will have another look maybe tonight or in the morning.There's a slot in the flywheel/PP that allows easier access to those two bolts, rotate until you find it.... That and a wobble bit should is all you should need.

Overall, the researchers found that the classification of patients according to stages of CKD based on their preoperative GFR indicated that functional hyperfiltration estimated by the GFR per unit volume was significantly changed. However, the structural hypertrophic volume did not differ.
“The study essentially found that while all patients who lose a kidney lose function those with reduced function at baseline (CKD 2 and 3) lost proportionally less function than those with normal function at baseline. Also, the reason they lost less function was not due to growth of the remaining kidney, but greater functional recovery,” said Yair Lotan, MD, who is Professor of Urology and Chief of Urologic Oncology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX.
“I don’t think that this will lead to new ways to recover function after nephrectomy. However, if this single center retrospective study is validated then maybe there can be better ways to estimate final renal function after nephrectomy,” Dr. Lotan told Cancer Therapy Advisor.
“This is important in advising patients whether to have their kidney removed in case of cancer and whether they will be eligible for certain chemotherapy regimens which contain nephrotoxic drugs.”

Matthew J. Resnick, MD, MPH, Assistant Professor of Urologic Surgery and Health Policy Center for Surgical Quality and Outcomes Research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN, said these new data begin to shed some light on possible mechanisms for differential preservation of renal function after loss in renal volume. He said the findings may have many important clinical implications.
“Given the paramount importance of postoperative renal function with respect to risk of cardiovascular disease and death, these data may improve predictions of postoperative renal function to facilitate improvement in preoperative counseling. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, further characterization of the mechanism underlying hyperfiltration may identify therapeutic targets aimed at optimizing renal function outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for renal cell carcinoma,” Dr. Resnick told Cancer Therapy Advisor.

The main interests of the owners of vessels located in the Adriatic Sea are probably some of the following: Can I currently still get to my vessel and how is it expected to be used during the summer months? Is it advisable to slowly start bringing the vessel out of its winter storage? Of course, SeaHelp cannot answer all these questions either. The status today (11.3.2020) is the following:
According to the Austrian automobile club ÖAMTC, persons entering Austria from Italy are currently required to present a health certificate, not older than four days, confirming that they have been tested negative for the Coronavirus. The ÖAMTC continued: “If no health certificate can be presented, Austrian citizens or persons who have a main or secondary residence in Austria may enter the country only, if they immediately enter a 14-day quarantine”. Under these conditions, the marinas in Italy are currently probably cut off from visitors from Austria. German citizens on their return journey from Italy can use Austria as a transit country if they leave the country without stopping. It is not possible to transit through Italy at the moment.
According to the Slovenian tourist office in Munich, there are only entry restrictions from Italy to Slovenia analogous to the Austrian measures. At the other border crossings, according to a spokesman, no special checks are currently carried out with regard to the Coronavirus; only people who are obviously ill are checked. As Slovenia does not currently regard neighbouring Croatia as a risk area for the spread of the Coronavirus, no further checks would be carried out at the Slovenian/Croatian border crossing points, which could currently lead to unusual disturbances in travel. In Slovenia 31 Coronavirus infections have been confirmed so far. Links in English can be found at the end of this article, they are updated daily.
On the Croatian side, the situation is currently still somewhat more relaxed: 16 confirmed cases of Coronavirus infections are being treated there in isolation at present, the County of Istria has also cancelled all public, cultural and sporting events until 14 April, Italian citizens who want to enter Croatia can only do so after they have been quarantined for 14 days, as the German-language media portal HRT reports, citing sources close to the government. The closure of schools, kindergartens and universities is being considered.
As things stand at present, there is nothing to prevent entry from Austria to Croatia via Slovenia. However, it seems advisable to use the following links to obtain up-to-date information, as the situation can change constantly.

Statements of leading virologists
SeaHelp has contacted leading virologists to inquire whether a decrease in Coronavirus activity can be expected as temperatures rise. Here are the answers:
The Berlin virologist Christian Drosten (Charité Berlin) agreed with the following words: “…the dryness and UV-radiation make transmission events less frequent…!” In addition, the increased stay outside in spring and summer should reduce the possibility of infection. The German Society of Virology also agrees with this, at least to a certain extent, by pointing out the increased spread of conventional influenza viruses in the winter months, although this does not necessarily apply to the Coronavirus.
Statement press office of the Society of Virology based in Stuttgart:
“It is true that some virologists/infectiologists suspect that the incidence of infection might decrease with warmer temperatures. However, even among experts there are different opinions. The current estimates of the major epidemic control authorities should apply: It is not yet known whether weather and temperature will affect the spread of COVID-19. Some other viruses, such as the common cold and flu, spread more strongly in the cold months, but this does not mean that it is impossible to fall ill with these viruses in other months. It is currently not known whether the spread of COVID-19 decreases in warmer weather. There is much more to be learned about the transmissibility, severity and other characteristics associated with COVID-19, and research is ongoing.
Statement Press Office of the Robert Koch Institute based in Berlin:
Regarding the weather: Nothing is yet known about a possible seasonality of the new Coronavirus. It is possible that rising temperatures have a certain mitigating effect, but that is not the only factor influencing the spread. An exact temperature cannot be given.
How the situation will develop in the future is something the leading virologists understandably did not want to commit themselves to. However, their statements and their own knowledge of the activity of the influenza viruses in winter at least suggest that the number of new infections could drop dramatically with the first rays of spring sunshine. SeaHelp will be keeping you up to date on this.

To make egg white pancakes: Lightly beat egg whites with wheat starch, salt, and pepper until well combined. Heat a nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Add some oil and heat. Pour 2 teaspoons of the mixture into the pan, spreading it out into a shape of a circle, while making sure it is as thin as a piece of paper. Repeat with all of the batter.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine chicken, shrimp, mushrooms, fat, scallions, cilantro, water chestnut, white pepper, salt, sesame oil, and oyster sauce. Pulse until all the ingredients are chopped. Remove the leaves from several cilantro sprigs. Blanch sprigs in boiling water for 15 to 30 seconds to soften enough to be able to tie into a knot.
To make dim sum: Lay out an egg white pancake. Add some of the chicken meatball filling. Fold the pancake around the filling and tie the opening with the softened cilantro. Trim the top of the dumpling. Put the dumplings into a steamer, and cook for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Egg white sauce: heat the water and add the egg white, stirring vigorously, add 1 tablespoon flour and season with salt.
Garnish the dumplings with ground dried Virginia ham or crumbled hard-boiled egg yolk mixed with kosher salt and some egg white sauce.

Pistachio Crusted Salmon
I think it is safe to say that pistachio crusted salmon could be considered a comfort food, at least for me. It conjures up precious memories of dinners and events with my many friends in California. My version has been a family favorite for years.
For those of you, at The Executive Dining Room in Palo Alto (where I used to work), who gave the dish it’s name (“Kiran’s Salmon”), and have asked for this recipe since I left California, thanks for your patience. I can’t believe how much time has flown by since this incredible meal re-emerged
Pistachio crusted salmon is an effortless, yet stylish main course to serve when you have company. Not only is it simple to prepare, the dish requires little time. It’s the perfect Sunday brunch entrée for the family, with little clean up required.
Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, both farmed and wild salmon are safe to eat. Wild caught Pacific salmon are typically considered to be the healthiest as they are known to have fewer calories than the Atlantic farmed salmon.
6 ounces of wild salmon (yields 2 filets of 3 ounces each)
1 small clove of minced garlic
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1and 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons of coarsely chopped pistachios
Preheat oven to 375 degrees (190 degrees celsius)
Rinse salmon in cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels, season with salt and pepper. Place on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
Combine garlic, olive oil, mustard, and lemon juice. Brush half of the mixture on the salmon. Add pistachios to the rest of the mixture. Spread the mixture on top of the salmon, pressing down gently and evenly.
Bake for 15 minutes until salmon is flaky, remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before service.
For our dinner I chose to pair the salmon with hasselback sweet potatoes and diced beetroot for a pop of color on the side. The sweetness and creaminess of the potato is an ideal accoutrement with nutty salmon. Beets could also be served on a bed of green salad with house vinaigrette.
Full-bodied White Wines pair amazingly well with rich oily fish like salmon. White wines, are always the obvious choice that partner well with salmon. I suggest an oak-aged Chardonnay that in itself is buttery. A Viognier which is a little sweeter or a Petite Chablis which is an incredibly reliable pairing, young elegant especially with the mouthwatering garlic and pistachio flavors (my preference).

Adaptive noise control algorithms have been successfully applied to reduce noise in acoustic, photonic, and mechanical systems for many years. Since the noise source and the environment are time-varying in general, it is often desired that an active noise control system be adaptive.
Adaptive filters are designed by minimizing an error function and can be realized as Finite Impulse Response (FIR), Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) or lattice and transform-domain filters. The most commonly used adaptive filter is the FIR filter using a least mean square (LMS) algorithm.
A serious issue with implementations of the LMS algorithm for noise cancellation is the requirement of a coherent reference signal, which must be well correlated with the disturbance or noise. A common practice is to measure the disturbance or noise directly and use it as the reference signal to the LMS algorithm. But, a direct measurement of disturbance may not be possible and even if it is possible, it will require that additional resources be used which eventually increase the cost of the operation or process.
Addressing the above, Navy scientists have developed a new method for generating the reference signal by utilizing the characteristics of the error signal, which is the difference between the responses of the system to disturbance and the control signals. Since the error signal has the frequencies of the disturbance, processing the error signal can generate a reference signal.
While jitter remains a serious issue in laser communications, vibration control in large machinery, noise control in acoustic systems and microphones, and jitter control in satellites and space systems are some of the other important applications for this technology.
- Under ideal conditions, the adaptive LMS algorithm has proven to drive the error to zero
- Filter does not require that a coherent reference signal be highly correlated with the noise
- The weights of the adaptive filter are adjusted by the LMS calculator to minimize the mean square of the error signal and therefore the weights are continuously updated so that the error is progressively minimized on a sample-to-sample basis
- Filter can also be used to attenuate measurement noise: since the reference signal is generated using the error signal, this method is designed to handle the primary disturbance as well as the measurement or process noise

Using the shrink-assembled liquid three dimensional (3D) hot spot matrix as a microreactor, a new method for quantitative detection of blood drug concentration by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was developed by researchers led by Prof. Yang Liangbao and Prof. Wang Hongzhi from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), with high stability and sensitivity.
Results were published in Analytical Chemistry.
Quantitative detection is one of the ultimate goals of SERS methods, but there have been challenges in controlling the homogeneity of the hot spot and the entry of target molecules into the hot spot region.
Prof. Yang Liangbao's team has been engaged in the research work on the principle and detection application of SERS method for years, which is a type of fast, highly sensitive, and fingerprinted molecular spectroscopy. A series of achievements have been made with SERS in their previous work, including detection of poisons in oily matrix, and actively capturing target molecules in small gaps based on nano-capillary pumping model.
In this work, the researchers used the liquid three-phase equilibrium principle to control the shrinkage of droplets, which not only forms a high-density and highly stable liquid 3D hotspot matrix, but also enables antitumor drugs to enter the hotspot region autonomously.
Then, with a self-made effectively hand-held Raman spectrometer, they realized, for the first time, the online quantitative detection of anticancer drugs in the serum of tumor patients.
The method exhibited 50 ppb sensitivity for the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil, and the quantitative detection range is 50–1,000 ppb.
Compared with traditional solid nanoarrays and colloidal aggregation SERS methods, the shrink-assembled liquid 3D hotspot matrix can enhance the enrichment ability of analytes in the plasmonic hotspot space, enabling highly sensitive and stable SERS quantitative detection.
"It has great potential for quantitative detection of analytes in complex samples like serum, biological fluids, dynamic monitoring of anticancer drug metabolism processes and biochemical reaction kinetics," said Prof. Yang.

- PubMed Abstract:
RsbR is a regulator of sigma(B), the RNA polymerase sigma factor subunit responsible for transcribing the general stress response genes when environmental stress is imposed on Bacillus subtilis. The C-terminal domain of RsbR and its paralogues is a substrate for the kinase function of another sigma(B) regulator, RsbT, but the amino acid sequence of the N-terminal domain of RsbR does not reveal any obvious biochemical function. RsbR, its paralogues, and other regulators of sigma(B), including RsbS and RsbT, form large signaling complexes, called stressosomes. We have determined and present here the crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of RsbR. Unexpectedly, this structure belongs to the globin fold superfamily, but there is no bound cofactor. The globin domain from globin-coupled sensory systems replaces the N-terminal domain of RsbR in some bacteria, indicating a common genetic ancestry for RsbR and the globin family. We suggest that the globin fold has been "recycled" in RsbR and that one more activity can be included in the repertoire of globin functions, namely the ability to bind signaling macromolecules such as RsbT.

Following a visit in November to form the eastern temporary platform, the TSHD Sospan Dau has returned to the Southsea coast.
The dredger will continue rainbowing material onto the foreshore, between Clarence Pier and the Spur Redoubt.
The dredged material will be levelled to complete the installation of the western temporary working platform.
VSBW, a VolkerStevin and Boskalis Westminster Ltd. joint venture, is the main contractor working to deliver the new sea defences as part of the Southsea Coastal Defence Scheme.
Stretching for 4.5km from Old Portsmouth to Eastney, the scheme will help to reduce the risk of flooding to more than 10,000 homes and 700 businesses.
The Southsea Coastal Scheme got underway on 7 September 2020 with the construction of coastal defences between Long Curtain Moat and Clarence Pier.
The first of six phases in the Portsmouth City Council-led project came after some 10 years of planning.
The entire scheme is the UK’s largest coastal defences project, worth more than £100 million.

Hi, im 14 and ive had my period regulary for about 3 years now, until last year i notice i wasnt getting one every month, like right now i have skipped for two months i know im not pregnant because im a virgin and i dont take a pill or anything. but once i went up to five months without having one what do i need to do i dont go to a gynocologist yet.
and i have one more question, ever couple of months i get really hot and i feel like someone is stabbing me in my ovarys it get so painful i want to go to the emergency room nothing helps it i just lay down and cry and cry i really feel like im dying sometimes im on my period whenever it happens and sometimes im not. what could it be?
Please talk with your parents about this so they can take you to the GYN. It is normal for your periods to be irregular at this age, however because you started your period so young, you are at greater risk for have PCOS (polycystic ovarian symdrome). I started my first period at 11 too and I now have PCOS. I know it is a little weird talking to your parents about these things, but it's better for your health that you check this out now to make sure it's nothing serious.

The hon. Member for North Down has asked why the provision concerning enduring family relationships in clause 1(10)(c) has been included. The reason is that we need to say more about the nature of the partnership. Other subsections refer to the spouse or former spouse, civil partner or former civil partner, and the nature of those relationships is defined in legislation, so there should be no confusion. However, in paragraph (c), we need to define the nature of the partnership. Business partners could not be included, for example.


According to Charles H. Jones' reference book "Artillery Fuses of the Civil War", "Before the war began, simple threaded adaptors made of zinc (or white metal) which held paper time fuses were designed by General Alexander B. Dyer to accompany his case-shot and shells. Records show that Dyer projectiles were employed as early as 1859 when the government tested its new 3-inch Ordnance rifles. Between 1861 and 1863, more than a hundred thousand Dyer projectiles and fuses were purchased. A small quantity was equipped with brass Schenkl percussion fuses. Field reports complained about the Dyer projectile's unreliability, consequently manufacture had largely been discontinued by 1864. Considerable use of captured Dyers with original zinc fuses or CS copper fuse adaptors has been documented. This confused many early collectors who called this projectile (and fuse) a "Burton"."


Girl, 8, dies in Marinette County house fire
DUNBAR — An 8-year-old old girl died in a mobile home fire in northern Marinette County late Monday night.
Fire crews were called to the home in Dunbar, about nine miles west of U.S. 141, for a report of a fire around 11:25 p.m. Monday. A man and his son escaped as the home filled with smoke and flame.
The man made several attempts to find his daughter, but was unsuccessful, according to the Marinette County Sheriff's Office.
The name of the girl is being withheld pending notification of family.
The home was destroyed in the fire, which is believed to have started near the fireplace, according to the sheriff's office.
The fire and the the girl's death remain under investigation.

Good Posture Academy
THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER POSTURE IN CHILDREN
Developing a proper posture early on helps maintain good health throughout life. A child’s posture is determined by natural factors; however, it is also susceptible to various influences from the time they start assuming an upright position, particularly once they begin school.
A proper posture assists the body in a variety of its functions, from circulation to breathing. It allows for muscle relaxation, helps reduce fatigue, and prevents a whole array of body aches. It assists in maintaining all the natural, healthy curvatures of the spine, greatly decreasing the risk of degeneration and arthritis later on in life. With growth proceeding with uncorrected, inadequate posture can easily lead to several abnormalities of body parts and positions developing, leading to serious, chronic problems, such as the already mentioned arthritis.
FACTORS AFFECTING POSTURAL DEVELOPMENT:
- Age and Sex
- Height and weight
- Types, frequency, and length of activities
- Seating equipment at home and school
- Size and weight of the recurrently carried schoolbag
- Proper shoes
CHECK YOUR CHILD’S POSTURE TODAY!
PDR Physical Therapy & Wellness Center has proudly developed the prevention and treatment of the postural problems program for children ages 5 through 18. This innovative program focuses on postural imbalance and muscle weakness in children diagnosed with flat feet, in-toeing, toe-walking, scoliosis, and many more! It consits of individual therapy and group classes, depends on child’s unique problems and needs.
OUR PROGRAM INCLUDES:
- An initial assessment and evaluation of your child’s posture by one of our licensed Physical Therapists. Based on this evaluation a therapist will design a therapy program that will fit your child’s specific needs.
- Individual exercise sessions will target musculature imbalances and focus on preventing the progression of scoliosis. Your therapist will teach self-correction of posture, self-stretching of shortened muscles, and home parent and child education.
- Individual or group exercises conducted by our therapists will target core muscle strength and breathing techniques.
- Skilled hands-on manual therapy, which includes gentle joints and soft tissue mobilization, massage techniques, stretching the short muscles group, and stimulating the weak and overstretched muscles.

When President Trump signed an executive order on Monday to boost the role of artificial intelligence in the United States, the AV industry took yet another incremental—but not necessarily insignificant—step forward. While nowhere in the 10-page American AI Initiative are autonomous vehicles mentioned, nor even the word transportation included, those in the industry took notice. What does the executive order mean for the AV industry?
With traditional automakers and tech-companies continuing to develop AVs, venture capitalists are increasing their attention and investment activity in our industry. Likewise, traditional automakers and large tech companies have acquired AV-tech startups as competition for key personnel, technology, and first-mover advantage increases.
Before your Christmas leftovers were even close to being eaten up, Amazon had already released a press release touting record-breaking sales figures for the holiday season—and autonomous vehicles played a critical role in the retail giant smashing its own holiday record. The December 26 release doesn’t mention AVs or robotics in any way (except a brief mention about a record number of iRobot Roomba vacuums being sold to consumers), but rest assured, the company relied on its increasingly large complement of autonomous vehicles to reach its lofty numbers.
After a decade of testing and over 10 million miles driven on public roads, Waymo officially launched Waymo One, the country's first commercial autonomous ride-share service. Waymo One will now begin providing customers rides in AVs 24 hours a day. Similar to other ride-share services, consumers use an app to request a ride and enter in their drop-off location. The app provides a fixed price for the cost of transporting the rider from their pickup location to the requested drop off location.
Gizmodo just published a story confirming that Uber has been “given the green light” to resume its testing of self-driving cars in Pennsylvania, according to reports from The Information. It appears that the company’s legal department made an internal announcement on Tuesday discussing the service, relaying the news that the company has improved safety features for the service in recent months.
Most of the media attention paid to autonomous vehicles relates to the capabilities of passenger vehicles. But other companies are moving ahead with producing autonomous vehicles for use in commercial settings, such as the mining industry.
Transit agencies are poised to reap many benefits by implementing autonomous vehicle technology, but numerous barriers to implementation exist. At least that’s what the Federal Transit Authority says in its 2018 Strategic Transit Automation Research Plan (the “STAR Plan”).
Is Amazon becoming a car company? Not quite, but it may become the next big player in autonomous driving. As reported in several news articles like Forbes and The Street, Amazon has been heavily investing in autonomous vehicle technology to both save money and make money.
Eric Lazzari needed to get across downtown for a meeting and decided to use an electric scooter, according to The Denver Post. He knew the law, and was properly operating the e-scooter on the sidewalk. While stopped at an intersection, an angry pedestrian approached him, told him scooters didn’t belong on the sidewalk, and smacked him in the back of the head.
A recent study conducted by the National Highway Transportation Safety Association (NHSTA) attributes 94 percent of serious automobile crashes to human error. Based on this key fact, the NHSTA is hopeful that autonomous vehicles will considerably reduce the number of accidents and associated damages. The bad news is that determining who is at fault when AV accidents occur may prove to be a difficult task. Traditionally, accident liability has focused on the actions of the driver. With the advent of AVs, however, liability and risk will likely shift to manufacturers, dealerships, software programmers, relevant third-party suppliers, and the company in charge of training AV operators.

“…in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the LORD given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.” (Daniel 9:2-3).
We can “hear” as Daniel did from the scriptures. We may not know dates and times as he did, but we know from the scriptures that God wills to glorify His name in the earth, extend His kingdom, build His church, disperse the gospel, call workers into the harvest fields, defeat the powers of darkness, and reach out in love to a lost and hurting world.
Knowing from the scriptures that God purposes to do these things should motivate us to pray passionately and persistently for their accomplishment. The better we know scripture, the better we will know God’s purposes. The better we know God’s purposes, the better we will pray.
God of Grace, Your heart is written clearly upon and within Your word. As I read, study, memorize and absorb Your words of life, may I be a reflection of all that is contained in them! Fill me with a deep desire to listen to Your voice through Your word so that I might live a kingdom-focused life for Your glory!

A member of the Shoreham-Wading River High School football team died Wednesday night after colliding with an opponent and collapsing during a game in Elwood earlier in the day, authorities said.
Junior Tom Cutinella, a guard/linebacker, was pronounced dead at Huntington Hospital after sustaining a head injury during the afternoon varsity game against John Glenn High School, part of the Elwood school district, police and school officials said.
The shocking news that Cutinella -- playing guard just hours before for the Wildcats -- was gone blindsided students, coaches and parents assembled in the hospital's intensive-care waiting area.
Then when a hospital representative told them that No. 54 -- their schoolmate, a good student in a peer-help program -- was dead, students cried out. Two people fell to the ground, weeping, and dozens of friends and teammates consoled each other.
Shoreham's head football coach, Matt Millheiser, sat alone in a corner with his hands folded, his face frozen.
"He was a great kid," Millheiser said before leaving the hospital late Wednesday night with some of his football staff.
A spokeswoman for both districts, Deirdre Gilligan, confirmed Cutinella's death, saying he had been in the intensive-care unit Wednesday night after undergoing surgery.
"It was a big hit," Millheiser said shortly after his player was taken off the field by an ambulance last night.
The coach was among 60 friends, relatives and teammates who spent hours at the hospital waiting for news of Cutinella's condition.
Before news of his death broke, the waiting area had been silent for much of the night.
Many of Cutinella's friends and teammates -- decked out in the blue and yellow of Shoreham-Wading River -- paced the hallway or watched television.
Hours earlier, they watched Cutinella and the Wildcats battle the Knights of John Glenn High School in Elwood.
He collapsed at about 6 p.m. and sustained a head injury, Suffolk police said.
The Suffolk Division IV game was halted in the third quarter with Shoreham-Wading River leading 17-12.
"His health and safety is more important than any high school football game," Glenn coach Dave Shanahan said shortly after the game stopped. "And our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the entire Shoreham-Wading River team and community. I asked my team to pray for him."
Jack Costas, a member of the Shoreham-Wading River school board, said, "We're a small community and we're all devastated. It's always tragic when someone so young and so full of life has their life ended. It's going to be a very, very difficult road ahead from this."
Costas said safety will likely be discussed Tuesday when the board meets.
"I think that, obviously, we're expecting to get a full report, find out exactly what happened and do an audit of our equipment and, if there is some way to ensure safer play, then, obviously we're going to have to make some adjustments," he said.
In a statement, Shoreham-Wading River Superintendent Steven Cohen offered condolences and said grief counseling will be provided for students and staff.
Cohen said Cutinella had played football for the district since ninth grade. He became a member of the varsity team this season and also was a lacrosse player, Cohen said.
Cutinella was a member of the Natural Helpers program, which focuses on peers helping peers by giving advice or just a sympathetic ear, district officials said.
"He excelled academically, had a great sense of humor and was just a great individual overall," Cohen said. "He was well-liked among students and staff and he will truly be missed."

A Hamas hardliner
The prickly defiance of Mahmoud Zahhar
A FLORID pink and green mural on the front of Mahmoud Zahhar's house “congratulates” the family on the hasty passage of his son Hussam to “paradise”, courtesy of an Israeli missile on January 15th, felling the second of two sons to die for Hamas's cause. Dr Zahhar remains unbowed in his determination, sense of rightness and argumentative humour.
As Hamas's proclaimed foreign minister, he has had limited contact abroad—until recently: this week he went to Cairo to discuss the breached border. In any event, the suffering of his people will persist, says the bearded and stocky 62-year-old Cairo-trained medical doctor. “Four hundred patients [in Gaza] can die of renal failure at any moment,” he says, because of Israel's alleged refusal to let in the appropriate medicine.
His anger is directed equally at Israel and the United States but perhaps even more bitterly at Fatah, the Palestinian movement his Islamists have displaced in Gaza but which has ousted the elected Hamas government, in a constitutionally questionable manner, from power in the West Bank. He refers sourly to the “corrupt Ramallah government”, after its capital town. “We are the Palestinian Authority,” he says, when asked if the PA could be let back into Gaza to help manage the border. “Hamas should govern Gaza and the West Bank. What happened was a real coup against the election results,” he says of Hamas's ousting from power in the West Bank.
He repeatedly refers to Fatah as traitors and collaborators, and denies that the accord between Fatah and Hamas in Mecca last year entailed accepting the Palestine Liberation Organisation's previous agreements with Israel—though other Hamas people have so implied. In any case, the PLO “does not represent a majority”.
Nonetheless, Hamas might accept a two-state offer if most Palestinians agreed. But it was entirely “fantastical”. He certainly would not now “accept the reality” of Israel, as some of his senior colleagues have hinted. It may, instead, become “an eternal issue”, he says, looking ahead to a distant future when, “like your European Union”, the Arab nation will form one state across its historic lands, joining up with other Muslim nations such as Turkey. “We [Palestinians] were never an independent state in history,” he notes. “We were part of an Arab state and an Islamic state.”
He sounds prickly when it is suggested that Khaled Meshal, Hamas's overall leader, who resides in Syria, is more flexible. Striking a markedly different note, Mr Meshal recently insisted: “Hamas is not extremist. It is not hard-line. Hamas is a moderate movement. It is not religiously dogmatic...We accept religious pluralism and, likewise, political pluralism.”
But it was the harder-line Dr Zahhar whom the Egyptians invited to Cairo to discuss the border. Asked to confirm his position in the Hamas hierarchy, Dr Zahhar answers with ponderous ambiguity: “My name is Mahmoud Zahhar.”
