PROJECT TITLE :
A Nanoelectromechanical-Switch-Based Thermal Management for 3-D Integrated Many-Core Memory-Processor System
Tera-scale has become the recent interest for high-performance computing system. In order to increase bandwidth yet decrease power, 3-D integrated many-core memory-processor system is one of the most promising solutions. However, the increased power density and longer vertical heat-removal path in 3-D can result in thermal reliability concerns such as thermal runaway and thermal stability, which pose a significant barrier for tera-scale applications. Due to “green-switch” properties such as zero leakage current, infinite subthreshold slope, and temperature resilient behavior, nanoelectromechanical switches (NEMS) are explored in this paper to mitigate the thermal reliability issues for 3-D integrated many-core memory-processor system. The NEMS-based thermal management for 3-D integrated many-core memory-processor system is examined from device, circuit, and system levels, respectively. Moreover, one real-time thermal management is developed for improving system reliability with the use of NEMS-based thermal buffer and power gating. Experimental results show that our proposed approach can effectively prevent the thermal runaway and also maintain high thermal stability for 3-D integrated many-core memory-processor system.

Carol and Nick live in Grass Valley, a community nestled in the Foothills of Northern California. We are close to rivers, mountains and have access to the ocean and desert areas, giving us a huge variety of rocks to pick from.
How it all began: We have always loved rocks. Our collection started when we began picking up a small pebble as a memory of a hike or vacation. Needless to say our collection grew to 'larger' memories. We placed our rocks throughout our garden, which is now like a page in an album, but always visible.
We were inspired on a trip to New Mexico, the Three Rivers Area and Newspaper Rock in Utah. We were first introduced to one of the largest Petroglyph sites, thought to be over a thousand years old, yet the inscriptions were still clearly visible. Each rock conveyed a different message to the passerby throughout the years.
We started etching on our rocks, and soon discovered that we wanted to learn more about application techniques. We love the effects of sandblasting as a form of engraving and the different results depending on the type of rock used. We feel our designs are unique and together with our hand-picked rocks truly make a one of a kind engraved stone.
Rock-It-Man loves Craft Fairs and Private Home Parties, they are wonderful ways for you to view our engraved pieces in person, plus we get to meet you.
We have found a way to fuel our passion through our rock collecting trips, meeting people and ultimately bringing joy to others with our unique engraved rocks. We love hearing the stories of where or who our pieces are going to.

Patients are becoming more vocal about their experiences with their physician, cosmetic surgeon and plastic surgery office with the help of online doctor ratings websites. These sites allow them to share their thoughts with the masses and even persuade others to work with a certain doctor – or steer clear of them.
Posting false reviews or reports is easy enough, which is why Medical Justice, a company that wants to protect physicians from ‘frivolous lawsuits and defamation’, is encouraging doctors to take a stand and take action if the critics succeed in making them lose patients.
Thousands of doctors tackle false malpractice claims and Internet defamation each year, and these cases are increasing as patients turn to website ratings systems that grade their doctors and post comments – genuine or fictional – on blogs, forums and other online communication channels.
While ratings sites offer several benefits for prospective patients looking for the right doctor, they can also be the source of libelous claims and ruin the doctor’s reputation. As MedicalJustic.com states, “Anonymous web postings by disgruntled patients can threaten your good name and practice. Most medical practices are built through word of mouth. It only takes one negative Internet posting to impact your livelihood.”
Medical Justice is giving physicians a chance to take a stand against defamation online and malpractice lawsuits. The company offers ‘protection plans’ for doctors who want to ward off underserved loss and distress from malpractice suits and damages to their reputation. The company encourages doctors to become a Plan Member so that they can bring malpractice lawsuits and false claims forward for a formal review before the case goes to trial. The company also provides licenses to use contracts that explain what will happen if the patient pursues a malpractice claim, and how they will enforce the contract in court.
Currently, sites such as myDocHub.com and Healthgrades.com allow patients to rate their doctors, download background checks and even access criminal records. Patients can also view comments about procedures and services from past patients, but in most cases, there is little verification of the patient posting the reviews involved. RealSelf.com, a site that allows patients and doctors to participate in an online community, gives doctors a chance to post responses of patient reviews, and does not allow patients to reference a particular doctor as part of their agreement with using the site.

This film shows historical reenactments of the discovery of cures for syphilis. It begins with the discovery of the spirochete in 1905 under the microscope, then the development of the Wassermann test. The film shows success in experiments leading to the diagnosis and cure of syphilis, while acknowledging that syphilis continues to be a leading cause of sickness and death. Discussion of the disease and its symptoms follows. A public health education program is helping to fight back against this disease, since ignorance is the greatest ally of syphilis. Presented by the National Anti-Syphilis Committee of the American Social Hygiene Association.

Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a pretty, yet quick and easy birthday card. I created this for my dear friend Susie (aka Scrapsmart). For papers I chose the "Sweet" page from Kaisercraft "Be-YOU-tiful" collection. To begin, I cut the yellow background to 5x7 and the aqua card top to 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" to leave a 1/4" frame of each color around the card. I distressed the edges of both layers then roughly sewed the edges using two different stitches. Then I fussy cut two flowers, shaped and inked them, and added a Kaisercraft "Sparklets" in sea breeze to finish the centers. I dipped the leaves in a bit of "Diamond Dust" for added sparkle and made a few Prima wire sprigs for a finishing touch.
To assemble, I adhered the bottom yellow mat to a basic 5 x7 ivory card, layered on the aqua mat and curled up the left corner to add a white "Soprano" flower from Prima. I arranged the rest of the flowers to my liking, popping up the yellow ones for added dimension. Tucked in the white flowers, leaves, and sprigs around the yellow flowers and there you have it, pretty yet easy and simple!
Well friends, that's it for me today. Thank you for dropping by, your visits are always appreciated! Have a joyous day! ~ Dawna

L is for LOST
In one of my design classes I was tasked with creating a letter book aimed at young children learning the alphabet. I was assigned to the letter L to design my book around. I named my book "L is for LOST!" and it centers on a childlike character getting lost in increasingly ridiculous situations (beginning with the letter L), and advice on what to do in those situations (using a lot of L consonance). For this assignment I had to think about what kind of design style would appeal to young children. I decided that watercolors would create a soft, safe tone while also allowing for bright, vibrant colors that would be stimulating to kids. I also thought about how much I loved stickers when I was a kid, and decided to use different kinds of stickers (stars, animals, etc.) as collage elements in the illustrations. I used a typeface that reminded me of old fantasy and fairytale books from my own childhood. I then printed the pages and glued them to a cardboard book mock up.


The Livingston County Sheriff’s Department has a class for women next week to learn ways to protect themselves. Sheriff Steve Cox tells us more about what participants will learn from the POWER-UP program.
Cox says not only will participants get a chance to learn ways to protect themselves, they will have a chance to try out their skills.
The class is being held next Friday and Saturday, April 29 and 30. Cox says the class is for any women ages 12 and up. the cost is 25-dollars, and for more information, you can contact the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department.


People are curious with the changes happening to 2024 Audi Q5 especially those transformations would be happening on the inside and out. Up until now, there hasn’t been much information about what the future Q5 would be, but from the heavy camo on the exterior as well as the interior, it’s safe to say that Audi is being serious for this upcoming SUV. What can we expect from this future ride?
The Updated Plan
It seems that Audi wants to highlight the extensive (and grandeur) physical transformation that they are doing. Some photos even show the new (third gen) Q5 being parked right next to the previous models so everyone can see the transformation. Although changes would be happening on the outside, the main focus would be happening on the interior, as there would be a pretty radical change.
The Main Differences
For Audi, the Q5 model has been such an important lineup because it’s one of the company’s most popular rides. This model has been around for 6 years, which means that new updates are needed. The reason why Audi would place the new Q5 with the old one is to display the significant differences – while helping them understand the big work.
Audi hasn’t said anything about this current work, but many have predicted that they would officially announce the details and the specs within the later time of 2023, probably close to the end. From the images alone, however, we can see that the new version would be lower and longer. From the look of it, it seems that the windshield comes with more pronounced slope and also dramatically sinking roof design on the back. As a result, you can expect a sportier effect to the entire design.
The prototype (with camo) is still coming with placeholder lights which are located on both ends. However, it seems that this SUV would get a one-piece headlight unit on the front, which is pretty conventional. Many auto enthusiasts predict that it may come with the split lamp design (which is incorporated by the Q6 e-tron) but it doesn’t seem the case. Keep in mind that these lights would be LEDs, which mean that Audi would likely offer its (smart) LED adaptive matrix lighting system.
The Interior Updates
The changes on the outside are nothing when compared to those happening on the inside of 2024 Audi Q5. Instead of a rectangular touchscreen tablet (which is offered in the current model), you can expect a big and square infotainment display and also (freestanding) digital instrument cluster. Basically, not only the interior cabin would be more modern and sophisticated, but the technology features would be better improved. Although there is no information about the safety techs or drive assist systems, expect them to be included in a better manner for the upcoming Q5.
Powertrain and Performance
As it was mentioned before, Audi hasn’t provided any detailed information about the new Q5, and that includes the powertrain option. However, sources stated that the Q5 would be sharing similar powertrain layout as the A4, which means that the Q5 would be coming with diesel, petrol, and also plug in hybrid options. It would likely be running on dual clutch 7 speed transmission and four wheel driving system as the standard. There is also a possibility of auto 8 speed transmission.
Price and Release Date
Information about the price is very limited and scarce. Considering the touchup work, it’s most likely that the new Q5 would experience a pretty significant price increase although it’s unclear for how much. Expect the SUV to launch around the second half of this year. Until then, we can only wait for further updates of this 2024 Audi Q5.

In Vitro Transformation of Monocytes and Dendritic Cells into Endothelial like Cells
Our in vitro data indicate that peripheral blood monocytes or monocyte-derived immature dendritic cells under appropriate culture conditions transdifferentiate into endothelial-like cells (ELC), which are characterized by the expression of endothelial markers and the formation of tube-like structures. Dependent on the culture conditions a mixed macrophage/endothelial or an endothelial phenotype could be induced. A similar pattern of development could be seen in CD14+ monocyte-derived ELC and ELC grown from CD34+ precursor cells or from dendritic cells generated from CD34+ cells. These in vitro data suggest that monocytes are precursors of different subgroups of endothelial cells and that the formation of endothelial cells from CD34+ progenitor cells follows a similar pathway possibly via the monocyte and/or the immature dendritic cell.

The Wynnewood Institute was founded in 2003 by Thomas Patrick Burke, D.Phil., D.Th., Professor Emeritus of Religion at Temple University. It is named after its place of origin, a suburb of Philadelphia. The inaugural lecture by the English philosopher Roger Scruton, “The Defense of the West: How to Begin” was held on April 12, 2005.
The Wynnewood Institute is an independent, academic, non-partisan non-profit organization concerned with the fundamental questions and the current problems of Western civilization. Our focus is on ideas. With regard to the role of government, our point of departure is the philosophy of true or “classical” liberalism, including a strong defense. Our cultural perspective is an open-minded conservatism. Our research is concerned especially with basic questions concerning justice, human rights and civil rights, and with the implications of science for human values. We offer courses, seminars and public lectures by prominent thinkers.
Our philosophical perspective can be described as classical liberalism combined with conservatism. As classical liberals we believe in freedom. This means that the role of government, which always acts by coercion, should be limited to the tasks that alone can be accomplished by coercion, namely the protection of the nation and its citizens against aggression foreign and domestic. A free society is one that possesses freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the press, freedom of conscience, freedom of association, and commercial or market freedom. These freedoms are limited by the requirement that they be employed peacefully. A free society has no obligation to tolerate forms of religion or speech that promote aggression. We therefore view just laws and a properly regulated military and police as essential safeguards of freedom.
But freedom by itself is not enough. As Edmund Burke wrote about the claim of the French revolution to bring liberty to the people of France: “The effect of liberty to individuals is that they may do what they please; we ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations which may be soon turned into complaints.” Conservatism points out that some of the things we can do with our freedom are very much better than others.
What We Do
Lectures and Seminars
The Institute holds public lectures by speakers who are known nationally or internationally for their original contributions to classical liberal or conservative thought. The purpose of the lectures is to make the latest research and analysis public on general questions new and old that affect our national life.
In addition to the lectures, we also offer seminars. These are more specialized and go into their subject matter more intensively.
We strive to offer lectures of a high academic order. Even if you hold a different viewpoint, we hope that you will feel enriched and stimulated by them. A discussion period follows each lecture to provide an opportunity for open-ended inquiry.
Recordings of our public lectures are available on DVDs and audio CDs.
We also offer courses to the general public in a variety of fields. The purpose of these is to disseminate a deeper understanding of traditional American and Western ideals and values.
The Wynnewood Institute sponsors research which promotes a better understanding of Western civilization, especially in areas related to classical liberal and conservative thought.
Our main research interests center on rethinking the idea of justice, and consequently rethinking the many areas of private and public policy that have been affected by the revolution that took place in the West’s conception of justice during the twentieth century. These effects have been felt in areas as diverse as our demographic future, the family and relations between the sexes, the marketplace and the economy, the churches and organized religion in general, and education, to mention only a few.

LIVE: Roberto Fonseca – Howard Assembly Room, Leeds, 19/04/2022
And yet again the Howard Assembly Room further enhances its reputation for bringing some of the world’s finest musicians to this very select corner of the Northern Quarter in Leeds. Tonight, this wonderful venue plays host to the Havana-born pianist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, conductor, and Artistic Director for Cuba’s Jazz Plaza Santiago Festival, Roberto Fonseca who is joined on stage by his regular bandmates, drummer Ruly Herrera and bassist Yandy Rodriguez. Together the three men produce a quite stunning, virtuoso performance that elevates the capacity crowd far beyond the boundaries of jazz and immerses them deep into the very roots of Cuban music.
Roberto Fonseca has moved in some pretty illustrious musical company. He toured extensively with the legendary Buena Vista Social Club, has shared the stage with Herbie Hancock, and served as musical director for Gilles Peterson’s Havana Cultura project. And over a recording career that now stretches back for almost half a century, he has released nine albums in his own right, the last of which Yesun he describes as “presenting a Cuba without borders”.
Yesun lends its name to the title of Roberto Fonseca’s current tour, and this is the opening night of six dates he will play in England before the three musicians then head over to France and Belgium en route to the USA. Released in 2019 these dates afford English audiences the first real opportunity to experience in concert the songs from that record. And on this evidence alone it has been something well worth waiting for.
The three men play with a freedom of expression which readily translates into Roberto Fonseca’s stated desire “to make music to share with people”. The sound that they create is fluid, accessible, and traverses many musical frontiers as it ranges effortlessly from jazz, classical, and Afro-Cuban roots to funk, R&B, tango, and mambo. Polychromatic by design it moves far beyond simple categorisation.
The huge variations in scope and style are reflected in Fonseca at one point incorporating into one piece an excerpt from Winston Churchill’s famous 1942 Masters of our Fate speech. At another, he further reflects his versatility as he moves easily from the Steinway to the Korg keyboard and Moog to conjure up a psychedelic rhythm that, almost improbably, seems to splice shades of Stevie Wonder with the American soul group Rotary Connection‘s ‘I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun’.
Fonseca, Herrera and Rodriguez combine to often dizzying effect throughout the evening, both collectively and individually, conjuring up an inclusive party atmosphere as they do so. Roberto Fonseca encourages several call-and-responses in Spanish – despite there being only one person in the audience who admits to being familiar with that language – and by the concert’s end, many are dancing with such glorious abandon in the Howard Assembly Room aisles.

Elijah McCoy: Revolutionizing tomorrow, crafting a legacy of innovation and historical impact
In the heart of Black History Month, it is very imperative to reflect on the remarkable contributions of African Americans whose contributions transcend their time and left an indelible mark on history. One of such pioneers is Elijah McCoy, an African- Black Canadian whose innovations not only revolutionized the industrial landscape but also paved the way for future generations.
Elijah McCoy’s journey began in the late 19th century in Colchester, Ont. Born on May 2, 1844, to George and Mildred McCoy, fugitive slaves who had escaped to freedom through the Underground Railroad. According to archives of the Colchester Historical Society, McCoy’s early years were marked by a burgeoning curiosity for mechanics, fostered amidst the challenges of post-slavery life.
Growing up with a thirst for knowledge, McCoy displayed a keen interest in mechanics from a young age which led him to pursue studies in engineering in Scotland, where he developed skills and laid the foundation for a future that would change the face of innovation. Despite facing racial barriers that limited educational opportunities, McCoy’s parents were determined to provide him with the best education possible. After completing his education, he faced the harsh reality of racial discrimination, hindering his opportunities in the engineering field.
However, McCoy’s determination and ingenuity prevailed, as he found employment with the Michigan Central Railroad. It was during this period that he began developing his most significant invention, “the lubricating cup” or “drip cup.” The device aimed to solve a critical problem in stream engines: the need for frequent stops to lubricate machinery.
McCoy’s invention revolutionized the industry by allowing trains to operate for longer periods without the need for constant maintenance. The automatic lubrication system which consistently applied oil to engine parts while in motion, not only increased efficiency but also significantly reduced oil to engine parts while in motion, downtime, and wear on the machinery. At the time, steam engines and machinery required frequent stops for manual lubrication, causing downtime and inefficiency.
The success of the lubrication cup led to its widespread adoption across various industries, earning McCoy the nickname, “The Real McCoy,” a phrase that later became synonymous with quality and authenticity. His automatic lubrication system proved to be a game changer in the industrial era. In collaboration with historical records from the Smithsonian Institution, historians were able to uncover the brilliance of McCoy’s inventions, particularly the automatic lubricator.
Despite the challenges McCoy encountered throughout his life, he was still able to break through, amassing over 50 patents for various inventions. His innovation extended beyond the realm of railroads, impacting industries such as shipping, oil drilling, and manufacturing. McCoy’s work not only improved the efficiency of machinery but also opened doors for future generations of African-Black Canadian inventors, challenging stereotypes and breaking down barriers.
The Library of Congress and the National Inventors Hall of Fame documents the extensive impact of McCoy’s inventions on industrial progress. His automatic lubrication system became an indispensable component, enhancing the functionality of machinery new standards for efficiency.
The Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation’s initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion in engineering drew inspiration from pioneers like Elijah McCoy. His legacy extends far beyond his inventions. His success as an African Canadian inventor during a time of intense racial segregation paved the way for future generations of Black innovators.
McCoy’s impact is still felt today as industries around the world continue to benefit from automatic lubrication systems and other inventions inspired by McCoy’s pioneering spirit.
As we celebrate Black History Month, it is crucial to recognize Elijah McCoy’s contributions, which not only shaped the technological landscape of his time but also paved the way for greater inclusivity and diversity in the fields of science and engineering. McCoy’s legacy challenges us to aspire to greatness; we honour not just a historical figure but a beacon of inspiration, reminding us that the pursuit of excellence knows no boundaries.
YOU TOO COULD BE THE NEXT, JUST LIKE “THE REAL MCCOY”

In an effort to help create the visual language that invites people to engage in public spaces, Noun Project is teaming up with the Office of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Goldhirsh Foundation to host a Great Streets Iconathon around the topic of livable communities. The goal is to create a set of universally recognizable symbols infused with metropolitan culture that act as graphic tools, and use them to inspire positive action and create literal “front porches” for our great neighborhoods.
The design workshop is open to the public, and will take place at a co-shop-work space residing on Venice Boulevard, in partnership with Mar Vista Art Dept. We encourage people from all walks of life to get involved and collaborate on how we can re-imagine our streets as vibrant, empowering, and safe places. City planners, graphic designers, and volunteers will work together on a range of community concepts like “shop local” and “walkability”.
LA Mayor's Office will kick off our discussion on Great Street concepts. Edward Boatman, co-founder of Noun Project, will present on semiotics and best practices for designing icons. Angie Jean-Marie, social innovator from Goldhirsh Foundation, will help connect the dots in support of re-imagining the future of Los Angeles.
Participants will be placed in groups with city planners and graphic designers, so everyone can contribute. Iconathons are organized to engage the general public in the design process. No design or art skills are necessary, all are welcome to participate.
The icons created from this event will be released into the public domain for the City of Los Angeles and printed on metal signs to live on our Great Streets for citizens to engage with.

Leaf Rubbings – Fun Stuff to do Anywhere
While we may not get the dramatic seasonal changes here in the Bay Area that much of the rest of the country experiences, I think it is still fun to stop and notice the seasons, the California way.
We still get a nice and beautiful fall here, complete with leaves on the ground. Take a short walk and let the kids pick up a few of their favorites. Leaf rubbings are simple, and fun. When you get home, all you need to do is lay the leaves on a table, with the more-textured side of the leaf facing up. Place a piece of white paper on top, and with the side of a crayon, rub back and forth over the leaf until its impression shows up on the paper.
For very young children, making the rubbing is probably enough. If your kids are older, or you want to add a little more learning to your leaf rubbing project, you can use a magnifying glass to examine and observe your leaves. Group them into leaves that share traits that the child observes, then pick a different feature, and sort them again. For instance they might sort by color the first time, then by simple vs. compound leaves the next time, or by bumpy vs smooth leaf edges, and so on.
To take it even further, here are a few books about leaves that you and you children may enjoy:
Also, if you have some Halloween candy left over that you don't care for (we all get some less exciting candies in our bag every year), don't throw it away. Save it in a ziplock baggie, and I will have a fun craft in a few weeks to use it in. The more colorful the candy, the better.

By Cindy Sanawong
On Wednesday, Feb. 1 Sacred Heart University hosted a book launch and reception in the Arts & Design Gallery for english professor and Poet in Residence Jonas Zdanys’ latest poetry book, “St. Brigid’s Well.”
Professor Zdanys has been writing poetry for most of his life.
“I began writing poetry when I was 13 and had my first poem published in a national journal when I was 16. My first book of poetry, titled ‘Voice on an Anthill,’ was published in 1981. It was a collection of poems I had written mostly when I was in my late teens and early twenties, including some poems I had written when I was in college,” said Zdanys. “I have been publishing volumes of poetry ever since.”
Zdanys introduced his book to students and faculty members and said how the book came about and why he wrote it.
The inspiration started when Dean of College of Arts and Sciences Robin Cautin and Professor Gerald Reid offered Zdanys to teach a creative writing course for Sacred Heart’s study abroad program in Dingle, Ireland.
“In that seminar, we considered the three different ways a sense of place might help shape a poem. I decided that if I was asking my students to write such poetry, then I should too,” said Zdanys. “So teaching that class in Dingle resulted in this book.”
The book is a combination of mystical legends and folktales of the tradition of Brigid’s Cross. The Brigid Cross is a symbol of protection from all things evil.
“I was intrigued that he views Ireland not through the European mythology, but how he has a worldview of Ireland, which I could tell in the greater depths of his poetry,” said sophomore Tyler Lascola.
Zdanys also said that geography plays a significant role in his poetic writing process and in the creation of mythical characters like the Irish Goddess of Dawn.
“The book focuses on the West Coast of Ireland, particularly the Dingle Peninsula, the Ring of Kerry, and the literal as well as metaphorical pilgrimages eastward to St. Brigid’s Well in Kildare. Pilgrimages are about leaving one place and getting to another, usually for a purpose and often for spiritual reasons. The movement across physical boundaries of both kinds of places parallels interior movements, an evolution of the self during the search for meaning, secular enlightenment, or moral significance. So the book is a consideration of such journey,” said Zdanys. “In it, I have tried to maintain a focus on a place, as it moves through time, and have relied on the figure of Brigid to serve as a touchstone in that exploration.”
Students highly praised Zdanys’ poems and book, and were able to get an idea of how Dingle is without even being there.
“I loved the poem and kind of get the idea of what the Dingle Coast is like,” said junior Dayne Kepler.
Other students plan on getting their own copy of “St. Brigid’s Well.”
“I like the idea of the Ireland Coast. I’m really excited to get the book and read it,” said freshman Ashley Penczynzyn.
Zdanys wants his readers to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.
“The world is a wonderful place and we should experience its beauties, not just through poems that write about the world, but with all of our own senses. We should be aware of everything around us and not simply walk past the particulars of our day-to-day lives caught up in the images on our smart phones,” said Zdanys. “We share human experience because we live in a shared world, and we should do everything we can, each day, to understand the world in which we live and all of those others, all around us, who are equally part of it.”

42042 SERVICE DATE – LATE RELEASE DECEMBER 23, 2011
SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
Docket No. MC-F 19309 (Sub-No. 1)
WHEATON VAN LINES, INC. ET AL.—POOLING
Digest: The Board finds that a national carrier of household goods may modify the collective agreement it maintains with its individual local affiliates regarding the responsibilities of each party for different types of movements.
Decided: December 23, 2011
On November 10, 2011, Wheaton Van Lines, Inc. (Wheaton), for itself, its wholly owned carrier agents, and certain of its other carrier agents holding interstate operating authority (collectively, applicants), filed an application with the Board under 49 U.S.C. § 14302 and 49 C.F.R. pt. 1184 for approval of a revised pooling agreement. Wheaton is a motor carrier engaged in the interstate transportation of household goods (HHG). In this decision, we approve the revised pooling agreement.
Under the current pooling agreement that Wheaton is seeking to amend here, Wheaton’s carrier agents have 3 options for using their interstate operating authority: they may elect to (1) use Wheaton’s authority for all interstate HHG shipments; (2) use their own authority for interstate HHG shipments moving up to 500 miles; or (3) use their own authority for interstate HHG shipments moving up to 1,000 miles. For lengthier shipments, the carrier agents must book and transport the shipment under Wheaton’s motor carrier authority. Wheaton states that over the years it has encouraged its carrier agents to cease using their individual operating authority for all non-government shipments, but has encouraged them to expand their individual government businesses.
The primary modification sought in the application is the removal of carrier agents’ ability to ship under their individual operating authority for all non-government shipments, thereby requiring them to tender those shipments exclusively to Wheaton (i.e., move the shipments under Wheaton’s authority only). Applicants also seek to modify the original pooling agreement to remove mileage restrictions on carrier agents’ use of their individual operating authority for government and military business, giving carrier agents the freedom to carry such movements under their own authority regardless of length. Applicants further seek to allow a written notice to the Board to effect the addition of carrier agents to the pooling agreement. Finally, applicants seek to remove policies pertaining to the distribution of revenue and utilization of equipment from the pooling agreement, which will become matters of contract under Wheaton’s agency agreement.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
Under 49 U.S.C. § 14302(a), motor carriers providing transportation subject to the Board's jurisdiction may not pool or divide traffic or services or any part of their earnings without the approval of the Board. Under 49 U.S.C. § 14302(c)(2) and our implementing regulations at 49 C.F.R. § 1184.3, in reviewing an application for such approval, the Board must determine whether the proposed pooling agreement is of major transportation importance and whether there is a substantial likelihood that the agreement will unduly restrain competition. If the Board determines that neither of these two factors exists, it must approve the agreement without a hearing. Id.
Where either factor exists, however, the Board must hold a hearing under 49 U.S.C. § 14302(c)(3) to determine whether the agreement (1) will be in the interest of better service to the public or of economy in operation, and (2) will unduly restrain competition. Section 14302(c)(4) directs the Board to presume that HHG pooling agreements will be in the interest of better service to the public and of economy in operation and will not unduly restrain competition, if the practices proposed to be carried out under the agreement are the same as or similar to practices carried out under HHG pooling agreements approved by the ICC prior to January 1, 1996.
We conclude, on the basis of the record presented, that the proposed modification to Wheaton’s pooling agreement is not of major transportation importance and will not unduly restrain competition. The proposal should, therefore, be approved without a hearing.
First, the proposed transaction is not of major transportation importance. The volume of traffic affected will be a very small percentage of all general commodities motor carrier traffic; applicants state that, historically, Wheaton’s market share has been less than 5% of the national HHG moving market. Moreover, the number of carrier agents that will participate in Wheaton’s pooling agreement is very small compared with the number of carriers nationwide that provide similar services, including large motor carrier companies and networks that already provide service nationwide, in addition to entities providing service via other modes of transportation. Cf. Wheaton 1989 (finding that Wheaton’s original pooling agreement was relatively small compared to the national market).
Second, we find that the modified pooling agreement will not unreasonably restrain competition. Under the special rules, discussed above, that apply to pooling agreements between HHG motor carriers under § 14302(c)(4), a HHG pooling agreement is presumed not to restrain competition unduly if the practices proposed to be carried out under the agreement are the same as or similar to practices carried out under HHG pooling agreements approved by the ICC prior to January 1, 1996. That is the case here. The primary modification requiring carrier agents to tender all non-government interstate movements to Wheaton is similar to other practices approved by the ICC and the Board that limit the ability of carrier agents to compete with their core carrier to transport HHG. For example, in 1983, the ICC approved the pooling agreement of Atlas Van Lines, Inc., under which the participating carrier agents were not permitted to possess their own operating authority, except to transport HHG for the government (including the military). Furthermore, both the ICC and the Board have found that the public would be better served by improving the core carrier’s ability to compete with its non-agent competitors than by increasing the level of competition within the core carrier’s system.
Likewise, the proposed process permitting a written notice to the Board to effect the addition of carrier agents to the pooling agreement is sufficiently similar to practices approved by the Board in Mayflower Transit, LLC, and by the ICC in Wheaton 1989, and is consistent with 49 U.S.C. § 14302(c)(5). Under this process, the written notice will include: the identity of the new participant; confirmation of the agency relationship with Wheaton; evidence of the carrier agent’s HHG operating authority through its current MC number; and indicia of the carrier agent’s approved participation in the pooling arrangement.
The remaining revision proposed by applicants removes from the pooling agreement specific details about the distribution of revenue and utilization of equipment. The Board has recently approved very similar modifications on the premise that no pooling agreements that have been the subject of Board decisions have contained as high a degree of detail on the subjects that applicants seek to remove from their agreement.
In short, the Board concludes, on the basis of the record presented, that the proposed agreement would not be of major transportation importance and would not unduly restrain competition. Accordingly, the Board approves the proposed agreement without hearing, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 14302(c)(2) and 49 C.F.R. § 1184.3.
Finally, we have the authority to require submission of additional information should we find it necessary in the future. If we find at any time that the transaction has become an anticompetitive one, we can suspend operation of the pool during the pendency of a public hearing concerning the criteria set forth in 49 U.S.C. § 14302 and impose such terms and conditions, if any, as are just and reasonable.
It is ordered:
1. The request to modify the pooling agreement as set forth in the application is approved and authorized.
2. This decision is effective on its service date.
By the Board, Chariman Elliott, Vice Chairman Begeman, and Commissioner Mulvey.
 The digest constitutes no part of the decision of the Board but has been prepared for the convenience of the reader. It may not be cited to or relied upon as precedent. Policy Statement on Plain Language Digests in Decisions, EP 696 (STB served Sept. 2, 2010).
 Motor carriers register with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for authority to transport goods in interstate commerce. See 49 U.S.C. § 13901, et seq.
 Appendix A to the application is a list of pooling carrier agents under the original agreement; Appendix B lists Wheaton’s wholly owned carrier agents; and Appendix C lists non-wholly owned carrier agents of Wheaton that Wheaton states have indicated that they wish to participate in the amended pooling agreement.
 That agreement was approved by the Board’s predecessor, the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), in Wheaton Van Lines, Inc., et al.—Pooling Application (Wheaton 1989), MC-F 19309 (ICC served Jan. 10, 1989).
 Wheaton specifically notes the relevance of the requested pooling agreement modification to HHG service for the military under the Department of Defense/Surface Deployment and Distribution Command. This suggests that, like other pooling agreement modifications approved in the past, Wheaton’s revised agreement is designed in part to account for a Department of Defense requirement that all carriers hold their own authority in order to qualify for the awarding of military HHG traffic. See Atlas Van Lines, Inc., et al.—Pooling Agreement (Atlas 2005), MC-F 21010 (STB served Feb. 23, 2005).
 Atlas Van Lines, Inc., et al.—Pooling Application, MC-F 15004, slip op. at 2-3, 9 (ICC served July 21, 1983); see also Atlas 2005 (approving a similar revision allowing carrier agents to possess broad operating authority, but precluding them from using their own authorities except for military traffic).
 See, e.g., Mayflower Transit, LLC—Pooling Application, MC‑F 17950 (STB served Dec. 3, 2009); Atlas 2005; United Van Lines, Inc.—Pooling Application, MC‑F 4901, et al. (ICC served June 5, 1984).
 The other presumption under § 14302(c)(4) pertains to a finding—that the agreement will be in the interest of better service to the public and of economy in operation—that only arises if a hearing is required. See 49 U.S.C. § 14302(c)(3). Because we find under § 14302(c)(2) that the pool is not of major transportation importance and will not unduly restrain competition, no hearing is required and that other presumption is not material here. We note, however, that because the pooling agreement at issue is indeed similar to agreements approved before January 1, 1996, if a hearing were required, that presumption would apply as well.
 See, e.g., Mayflower Transit, LLC; United Van Lines, Inc.—Pooling Application, MC‑F 4901, et al. (STB served Dec. 3, 2009).

In testimony before the Senate Finance Committee, Arnold Ventures’ Executive Vice President of Health Care Mark Miller outlined several potential solutions to control drug spending in Medicare and Medicaid.
In his opening statement, Miller emphasized the philanthropy’s health objective is to lower cost and increase value for businesses, for governments, and patients. He elaborated on four key focus areas: hospital and physicians’ prices; excessive drug prices and spending; reducing inappropriate and unsafe utilization; and caring for complex patients.
When asked by Chairman Chuck Grassley for ideas to lower the cost of drugs while preserving innovation, Miller said, “There is a fair amount of headroom between the prices that are being charged and paid and how much is being spent on R&D, so I think you can go after prices and go after spending and not immediately threaten innovation.”
Miller, a 30-year veteran health policy professional, discussed potential fixes to Medicare and Medicaid, including a series of reforms to Medicare Part D’s payment structure “to increase pressure on the plans to more aggressively negotiate drug prices.” Miller suggested for the Committee to consider increasing the transparency of and examining the rules around sharing rebates and other fees between the Medicare program and the plans to maximize tax payer savings.
“More ambitiously, you could consider whether the rebate compensation model should be changed altogether to a fee-based model.” As for Medicaid, Miller added, “Legislatively and administratively, we support state innovation such as Louisiana’s subscription model for Hepatitis C drugs and New York State’s spending cap in negotiation models.”
Tuesday’s hearing was the first in a series of hearings scrutinizing prescription drug pricing and considering policy and oversight solutions to lower costs for American patients. The Senate hearing took place on the same day the Democratic-led House Oversight and Reform Committee held the first of its own drug pricing hearings.
The full Committee hearing can be watched here.

The Charter of Carnaro (Carta del Carnaro) was a constitution that combined anarchist, proto-fascist and democratic republican ideas. D'Annunzio is often seen as a precursor of the ideals and techniques of Italian fascism. His own explicit political ideals emerged in Fiume when he coauthored with syndicalist Alceste De Ambris, the leader of a group of Italian seamen who had mutinied and then given their vessel to the service of D'Annunzio. De Ambris provided the legal and political framework, to which D'Annunzio added his skills as a poet.
The constitution established a corporatist state, with nine corporations to represent the different sectors of the economy, where membership was mandatory, plus a tenth corporation devised by D'Annunzio, to represent the superior individuals.
The legislative power vested in a bicameral legislature consisting of a Council of the Best (Consiglio degli Ottimi) and a Council of Corporations (Consiglio dei Provvisori). Joint sessions of the Councils (Arengo del Carnaro), would be responsible for treaties with foreign powers, amendments to the constitution, and appointment of a dictator in times of emergency. The charter designated "music" to be one of the fundamental principles of the Fiume State.

The East Side of Addiction
A story of hope, recovery and redemption.
The East Side of Addiction is a bibliographic tale that takes you through the drug addiction that swept through our beloved hometown of Worcester, Massachusetts. Lake Ave Recovery’s Dr. James DiReda and Jack Maroney, along with close friend Henry Grosse, paint a gritty and real picture of what growing up in the predominately immigrant working class area, known as the East Side, was like. What started off as using to cope with personal issues of abandonment or wanting to fit in, later turned into a life of crime and danger, all while falling deeper and deeper into addiction.
This story of a group of close-knit friends from “The Street” takes the readers on a wild ride fit for a Martin Scorsese film. The East Side of Addiction shares a real story of how drugs brought a community to its knees, and only through the power of friendship, recovery and redemption were they able to overcome their struggles.
Truly an example of reclamation and recovery, Dr. James DiReda and Jack Maroney have gone from the depths of addiction to a life dedicated to helping those touched by the disease.
The East Side of Addiction speaks to its readers on multiple levels. With the current opioid crisis crippling the country, addiction is not just a part of history.
One reader went on to say this about the book: “I believe that if this was required reading in 7th grade the incredible numbers of overdoses might be averted. The writing comes from the hearts of these men who have turned their lives around. The same men have gone on to be powers of example on those very streets. These stories are real and playing themselves out in all our communities…perhaps these pages shed insight into where addiction begins.”
From the East Side to Albania
When given an invitation to bring their knowledge and experience to Albania, a country burdened with drug use, especially among the country’s youth, Jack and James jumped at the opportunity to take their passion for recovery overseas. Equipped with an arsenal of personal stories and NE LOJE ME DJALLIN, the Albanian version of The East Side of Addiction, they set off on an unknown journey and ending up making an impact larger than they ever expected. What started out as a trip to learn about the Albanian culture and gain a deeper understanding on the depth of addiction the country was facing, suddenly turned into an in-depth interview on a nationally televised talk show and headline stories of the two Americans travels in several of the country’s most popular news outlets.
Upon arriving in Albania, Jack and James felt the best way to get an appropriate understanding of the toll that drugs and alcohol was taking on the country was to fully immerse themselves in the culture and time honored traditions of the indigenous population. They spent several days making face-to-face contact with several groups and engaging in multiple conversations with members of the community in their natural environment.
The Albanian treatment community had adopted the mantra of “support, don’t punish”. A mantra that Jack and James admired as a way of lifting the individual up rather than persecuting them. They shared the universal philosophy that success could be better achieved through education and an open dialogue, not avoidance and denial.
Their work in Albania landed them many accolades from the communities they visited and on the front page of a number of Albanian national newspapers and news channels. However, the impact the Albanian people made on Jack and James felt far greater. The level of compassion and empathy healthcare workers and drug treatment providers had in their own communities is something they strive to emulate in their work today.

The movie Bohemian Rhapsody, which depicted legendary act Queen and front man Freddie Mercury, scored Best Motion Picture drama at this year’s Golden Globes.
Woo hooo- the creme de la creme!
What’s even cooler is actor Rami Malek’s recognition for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury.
Malek won Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture drama.
In my opinion, this is his “Mama, I made it!” moment. Naturally, of course… because it’s the freakin’ Golden Globes.
Otherwise, you may have only known him from the television show Mr. Robot since he’s only done smaller prior.
Now you know him as the man who played Freddie. The best actor of the year.
I absolutely love the art of film and I’m thoroughly bummed that I haven’t seen Bohemian, yet.
It’s pretty much a crime at this point.
I was sure that A Star Is Born or Bohemian Rhapsody would win though! And now I know what is next on my watch list.

Enlarge / The Falcon 9 rocket, with the Intelsat 35e payload on the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center. (credit: SpaceX)
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket almost made it off a Florida launch pad on Sunday evening—but with just nine seconds to go before liftoff the on-board computers detected an issue within the rocket’s guidance, navigation, and control system.
The launch was scrubbed and now the attempt has moved to Monday evening, with the 58-minute launch window opening at 7:37pm ET (00:37am UK).
With a mass of 6,761kg, the Intelsat 35e communications satellite is the heaviest payload SpaceX has ever launched to geostationary orbit, about 36,000km above the Earth’s surface.
For this reason, the rocket will not have enough fuel reserves to attempt a safe return to Earth—even to a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
This booster, therefore, will be expended.
This will be SpaceX’s 10th launch of 2017, and the company has been especially busy as of late.
A launch Monday would be the company’s third flight in just 10 days, and fourth since June 3.
By way of comparison, the most successful launches the California rocket company has had in any year, prior to this one, is eight.
And it’s only July.

As my company, Aligned Data Centers, celebrates the launch of our Plano data center, I’m reflecting on how excited we are to be joining such an innovative community. We see so much optimism here, and so many organizations doing really creative, innovative – truly world-changing – work. We look forward to helping enable this culture of innovation.
Plano and the surrounding area are home to an impressive list of companies – a large corporate base, Fortune 1000 headquarters, and an emerging startup community. Companies here represent a wide range of industries, which is reflected in some very exciting and innovative work.
As just a few examples:
- Baylor Health Care System’s data mining laboratory brings together data analysts and medical experts to visualize meaningful patterns in large datasets and maximize the impact of all the Big Data-related technology advances on biomedical research.
- The AT&T Foundry innovation center in Plano is a test-bed for new Internet of Things technologies. Developers there are finding ways to simplify the complex, taking steps out of the application-building process for solution providers. And by opening AT&T’s IoT platform to systems integrators, they allow partners to develop solutions more quickly.
- Thanks to big data analytics in the costly and highly competitive field of oil and gas production, models are being built and simulations created to explore how minor tweaks to a certain area of operations impacts the productivity or efficiency of another area. Big Data applications emphasize improving efficiencies, managing costs, and providing a competitive edge.
This innovation depends on the data center. Yet average data center costs continue to rise, eating up technology budgets and crowding out investments in innovation.
At Aligned Data Centers, our mission is to help organizations in the greater Dallas area and beyond continue to innovate with the first pay-for-use data center that bends the cost curve by aligning data center capacity (and cost) to business need, and by dramatically boosting efficiency.
Cloud and IoT depend on the data center
Innovation is about vision, collaboration, and execution. Execution happens in the data center. The data center is, after all, where the cloud “lives.” It’s where the data exists. And it’s where the big picture gets painted – the data itself is essential, but until you can access it and see the big picture, it doesn’t mean much.
Our new neighbors are innovating to change the world. But it’s not as simple as just accessing the data. It takes the right data center partner to help you align your long-term business goals with your data center resources.
Bending the data center cost curve
Twenty-five year ago, power and cooling infrastructure was a fraction of the total capital outlay required for a data center; the bulk of the cost of a data center was the IT infrastructure. But the cost of IT infrastructure was declining, and the cost of power and cooling infrastructure and operations was rising. By the late 1990s, the cost of power and cooling had outpaced the cost of the IT.
Those costs have continued to rise and as a result, now threaten to crowd out investments in innovation. As McKinsey put it, “The portion of the IT budget consumed by infrastructure and facilities is significantly reshaping the economics of many businesses. Without radical changes in operations, many companies with large data centers face reduced profitability.”
Organizations always have to make choices, of course; budgets are never unlimited. But for innovation to continue, the data center has to evolve.
Aligned Data Centers enables innovation
A huge part of our mission at Aligned Data Centers is to rationalize IT costs to enable organizations to continue to innovate. Organizations intending to change the world need partners who can help make that happen.
We can help because of our ultra-efficient, reliable, modular power and cooling systems – innovations of our own and our partners. Because of our technology, we can offer the first-ever pay-for-use model, so our customers keep costs down and capital available for innovation.
We’re here in the Dallas metro area to do what we do best – run ultra-efficient data centers – so organizations in this community can focus on what they do best. If that includes advanced genomic research, IoT applications, less costly oil and gas production, or other innovations that can change the world – all the better.
Based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, Jack Edwards is Director of Data Center Services at Aligned Data Centers, the first pay-for-use data center provider to offer consumption-based pricing for organizations that require greater control of their data center. On November 19, the company officially opened its 300,000 square-foot data center at 2800 Summit Ave. in Plano. He can be reached at: email@example.com.

January 25, 2012
Assistant Professor Gregory Parks, co-editor of the new book, “Alpha Phi Alpha: A Legacy of Greatness, the Demands of Transcendence,” will be analyzing his work from 4:00-5:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 6, in the Z. Smith Reynolds Library Auditorium.
When can we say that a fraternity is more than just a fraternity? It is dictated by the ideals and structure of the organization. In his newly published book, Parks explores the challenges that one fraternity has grappled with for more than a century to be not only the first but also the greatest.
Copies of the book, will be available for purchase and signing. The event, which is free and open to the public, is co-sponsored by WFU School of Law and the Z. Smith Reynolds Library. Registration is available here.
