STATE OF WISCONSIN IN COURT OF APPEALS
State of Wisconsin,
APPEAL from judgments and an order of the circuit court for Milwaukee County: DAVID A. HANSHER, Judge. Affirmed.
Before Fine, Schudson and Curley, JJ.
SCHUDSON, J. Arthur Beiersdorf appeals from the judgments of conviction for second-degree sexual assault of a child and bail jumping, and from the trial court's order denying his motion for postconviction relief. He argues that the trial court erred by not applying the forty-four days of sentence credit he received on the stayed sentence for bail jumping to the prison sentence he received for sexual assault. He also argues that the trial court erred in ordering him to pay restitution for genetic testing. We affirm.
On August 26, 1994, at his initial appearance on a charge of felony second-degree sexual assault of a child under age sixteen, Beiersdorf was released on a $10,000 personal recognizance bond. On September 20, 1994, Beiersdorf returned to court and pled guilty to the sexual assault charge. Sentencing was adjourned.
On October 20, 1994, Beiersdorf was charged with bail jumping and two counts of misdemeanor sexual intercourse with a child over age sixteen. The complaint alleged that while Beiersdorf was free on bond in the felony sexual assault case, he violated terms of his bond by having contact and sexual intercourse with the victim of that offense. Bail was set at $10,000 cash. Failing to post the cash bail, Beiersdorf remained in custody.
On December 2, 1994, pursuant to a plea agreement, Beiersdorf pled guilty to the bail jumping charge; the trial court granted the State's motion to dismiss the two misdemeanor sexual intercourse charges. For second-degree sexual assault, the trial court sentenced Beiersdorf to ten years in prison. For bail jumping, the trial court sentenced Beiersdorf to five years in prison but stayed the latter sentence and placed him on probation for five years, consecutive to the ten year sentence, to begin, as the trial court told Beiersdorf, “after the prison term was served. Terms and conditions of probation, and that will kick in after you're paroled.” On the bail jumping stayed sentence, the trial court awarded forty-four days credit for the time Beiersdorf had remained in custody between his bail jumping arrest and sentencing. The court also ordered that, “as a term and condition of probation,” Beiersdorf pay $250 reimbursement for the cost of the genetic testing performed as a result of the original sexual assault charge.
II. SENTENCE CREDIT
Beiersdorf argues that he is entitled to forty-four days credit against his ten-year sentence for second-degree sexual assault of a child. The parties agree that our analysis must begin with § 973.155(1)(a), Stats., which provides:
Sentence credit. (1)(a) A convicted offender shall be given credit toward the service of his or her sentence for all days spent in custody in connection with the course of conduct for which sentence was imposed. As used in this subsection, “actual days spent in custody” includes, without limitation by enumeration, confinement related to an offense for which the offender is ultimately sentenced, or for any other sentence arising out of the same course of conduct, which occurs:
1. While the offender is awaiting trial;
2. While the offender is being tried; and
3. While the offender is waiting imposition of sentence after trial.
Denying Beiersdorf's postconviction motion, the trial court concluded that he was not entitled to forty-four days credit on the sexual assault offense because he had been released on bond on that charge and, therefore, was not “in custody in connection with” the sexual assault offense. We agree.
The application of § 973.155(1)(a), Stats., to undisputed facts presents a question of law this court reviews de novo. State v. Collett, ____ Wis.2d ____, ____, 558 N.W.2d 642, 643 (Ct. App. 1996). For credit to be awarded, two requirements must be satisfied: (1) the defendant must have been “in custody” for the period in question; and (2) the period “in custody” must have been “in connection with the course of conduct for which the sentence was imposed.” Section 973.155(1)(a). In this case, Beiersdorf unquestionably was “in custody” from October 19, 1994, when he was arrested for bail jumping, to December 2, 1994, when he was sentenced for bail jumping and second-degree sexual assault. The issue, therefore, is whether Beiersdorf's forty-four days of custody were “in connection with the course of conduct for which [his ten-year sexual assault] sentence was imposed.”
Beiersdorf argues that “common sense requires” that he be awarded the credit against his sexual assault prison sentence. He contends that it is “absurd” that he “would have to violate the consecutive probation, have that probation revoked, and begin serving the imposed and stayed sentence before he would receive 44 days jail-time credit.” We disagree. For any number of sound reasons, a sentencing court may decide to stay a sentence and order probation on one count consecutive to incarceration on another count. Beiersdorf offers no authority to suggest that when a sentencing court does so, it must shift credit due on the stayed sentence to the imposed sentence.
Beiersdorf asserts that State v. Boettcher, 144 Wis.2d 86, 423 N.W.2d 533 (1988), requires the credit he seeks. Again, we disagree. Boettcher addressed a different sentence-credit issue and, if anything, Boettcher actually supports the State's position. It examined whether “dual sentence credit” should be applied to two consecutive sentences—one stemming from a crime for which the defendant had been placed on probation, and the other stemming from a subsequent crime resulting in revocation of the prior probation. Id. at 87, 423 N.W.2d at 534. It explained that “in connection with the course of conduct for which sentence was imposed” under § 973.155(1)(a), Stats., means the same thing as the corresponding language in 18 U.S.C. § 3568: “‘in connection with the offense or acts for which sentence was imposed.’” Id. at 93, 423 N.W.2d at 536. Denying dual credit, Boettcher thus clarified that § 973.155(1)(a) provides sentence credit only for the custody connected to the charges to which the custody was specifically linked.
Therefore, although § 973.155(1)(a), Stats., also refers to “confinement related to an offense for which the offender is ultimately sentenced,” and although in rather obvious ways Beiersdorf's bail jumping was figuratively “related to” his second-degree sexual assault, his “custody” literally was not “confinement related to” the sexual assault for purposes of sentence credit under § 973.155(1)(a), Stats. Although a defendant may perceive that custody is “at least partly ‘in connection with’” another crime, that does not mean that the custody, for credit purposes, is related to “the course of conduct for which sentence was imposed.” See State v. Beets, 124 Wis.2d 372, 376, 369 N.W.2d 382, 384; see also State v. Abbott, ____ Wis.2d ____, 558 N.W.2d 927 (Ct. App. 1996).
Accordingly, we conclude that because Beiersdorf posted a personal recognizance bond on the felony sexual assault charge and remained on that bond until his sentencing, and because he was in custody on cash bail only on the subsequent bail jumping and sexual intercourse charges, the forty-four days in custody, under § 973.155(1)(a), Stats., was “custody” only “in connection with the course of conduct for which sentence was imposed” and stayed on the bail jumping.
III. PAYMENT FOR GENETIC TESTING
According to the criminal complaint charging Beiersdorf with second-degree sexual assault of a child, blood samples from Beiersdorf and his victim, along with a tissue sample from the fetus being carried by his victim, were sent for DNA testing to the Memorial Blood Center of Minneapolis. Testing established the overwhelming probability that Beiersdorf was the father of the fetus. At the conclusion of sentencing, the prosecutor asked, “Would the Court be willing to order reimbursement for the cost of the genetic testing that was done in this case?” The court responded, “He will be in prison awhile [sic] but, yes, as a term and condition of probation, I'll do that.” Beiersdorf argues that the trial court had no authority to order him “to pay for genetic tests, either as a cost, restitution, or as a condition of probation.”
Denying Beiersdorf's postconviction motion, the trial court explained:
The DNA surcharge was not imposed as a “cost” under sec. 973.06, Wis. Stats.; it was imposed as restitution which is reasonably related to the rehabilitation of the defendant. Its imposition reflects a cost and encumbrance which the government has incurred as a direct result of the defendant's commission of a crime. Given the broad authority of the court to impose restitution as a reasonable condition of the defendant's sentence and probation/parole, the court declines to vacate its present order.
The State agrees with Beiersdorf that the cost of genetic testing is not assessable against him as “restitution” under § 973.20(1), Stats., because neither the State nor the testing facility is a “victim” of the crime under that statute. State v. Evans, 181 Wis.2d 978, 983-84, 512 N.W.2d 259, 261 (Ct. App. 1994). The State contends, however, that the trial court did have authority to order Beiersdorf to pay for the DNA testing as a condition of probation under § 973.09(1)(a), Stats., and as costs under § 973.06(1)(c), Stats. We agree.
A. As a condition of probation under § 973.09(1)(a), Stats.
Section 973.09(1)(a), Stats., provides a trial court “broad discretion to place a convicted person on probation and to ‘impose any conditions which appear to be reasonable and appropriate’ on that probation.” State v. Heyn, 155 Wis.2d 621, 627, 456 N.W.2d 157, 160 (1990) (quoting § 973.09(1)(a)) (restitution of $4,000 for burglary alarm installation reasonable and appropriate where burglary reduced victim's sense of security). Under § 973.09(1)(a), whether a probation condition is reasonable and appropriate “is determined by how well it serves the dual goals of probation; namely, the rehabilitation of the offender and the protection of the state and community interest.” State v. Brown, 174 Wis.2d 550, 554, 497 N.W.2d 463, 464 (Ct. App. 1993) (restitution of $7,000 to sexual assault victim for tuition reasonable and appropriate where victim changed schools to avoid classmates' harassment resulting from assault). We will uphold a sentencing court's discretionary determination of a probation condition unless the court erroneously exercised discretion. Id. at 553, 497 N.W.2d at 464.
First, we have no difficulty concluding that a sentencing court reasonably may determine that rehabilitation of a man who has sexually assaulted a child will be fostered by motivating his consciousness of all the consequences of his crime, including the expense of DNA testing to establish whether he is responsible for his victim's pregnancy. As in Heyn, Beiersdorf's payment “therefore impresses upon [him] the full extent of the harm caused by his ... criminal activities and teaches [him] to consider more carefully the consequences of his ... actions in the future. The community benefits, in turn, from the rehabilitative effects of the condition on the convicted person.” Heyn, 155 Wis.2d at 630, 456 N.W.2d at 161. As in Brown, Beiersdorf's payment “should aid in [his] rehabilitation by increasing his appreciation for the far-reaching consequences of his assault on the victim and serve to strengthen his sense of responsibility for his actions. The community also benefits from the rehabilitative effects of the ... condition imposed on [Beiersdorf].” Brown, 174 Wis.2d at 554, 497 N.W.2d at 464 (citation omitted).
B. As a cost/condition of probation under § 973.06(1)(c), Stats.
Additionally, a “cost”-related condition of probation is proper if the “cost” is among those covered by § 973.06(1)(c), Stats. State v. Amato, 126 Wis.2d 212, 218, 376 N.W.2d 75, 77-78 (Ct. App. 1985). Whether § 973.06(1)(c) provides authority for a sentencing court to order payment to the Memorial Blood Center of Minneapolis, a private facility, presents an issue requiring interpretation of a statute, subject to our independent review. State v. Dodd, 185 Wis.2d 560, 564, 518 N.W.2d 300, 301 (Ct. App. 1994). Here, the sentencing court had authority to order payment of the DNA test expenses because they constituted a “cost” under § 973.06(1)(c).
In their supplemental briefs to this court, the parties have addressed the impact of State v. Schmaling, 198 Wis.2d 757, 543 N.W.2d 555 (Ct. App. 1995), and State v. Ferguson, 202 Wis.2d 233, 549 N.W.2d 718 (1996). Beiersdorf argues that “[n]othing in either Schmaling or Ferguson ... distinguishes between public and private entities” and he implies, therefore, that Ferguson places these DNA test expenses outside the definition of “costs.” We disagree.
Section 973.06(1)(c), Stats., in part, defines “[c]osts” as [f]ees and disbursements allowed by the court to expert witnesses.” In Ferguson, the supreme court held that § 973.06(1)(c) “does not authorize the assessment of lab expenses against the defendant for testing controlled substances found in his possession.” Ferguson, 202 Wis.2d at 235, 549 N.W.2d at 719. The supreme court clearly confined its holding, however, to testing services performed by the state crime laboratory. The supreme court carefully explained:
To constitute a fee under § 973.06(1)(c), the cost of performing a service must be more than an internal operating expense of a governmental unit which has been prorated or costed out; it must be chargeable to and payable by another.
The legislature did not intend that the lab expenses be paid by another. As the State pointed out both in its brief and during oral argument before the court, from 1955 to 1969 the State Crime Laboratory was required by statute to estimate the cost of and fix charges for its services, which were then collected annually from local units of government at the rate of fifty percent of the cost of services performed. From 1969 to 1973 the statute itself fixed these charges. However, the legislature subsequently repealed this provision. Therefore the State Crime Laboratory no longer bills local units of government for the services that it provides, apparently absorbing the cost of such services as internal operating expenses.
We fail to see how what have become routine operating expenses incurred by the State Crime Laboratory during the course of criminal investigations can now be transformed into fees or disbursements. Those expenses, regardless of whether they are fixed or represent estimates, have not been charged to or paid by another unit of government since 1973. Accordingly, we conclude that the expenses incurred by the State Crime Laboratory in the course of a criminal investigation are not fees or disbursements under Wis. Stat. § 973.06(1)(c), and the State may not assess these lab expenses as costs.
Were we to accept the State's argument that these lab expenses are fees taxable against defendants as costs under § 973.06(1)(c), a whole panoply of expenses for services rendered by expert witnesses who are state employees, including expenses for polygraph tests, blood tests, handwriting analyses, and physical and mental examinations might also be construed as fees and taxed against defendants.
We are not aware that any of these expenses are now being viewed as costs taxable against defendants. Under the State's interpretation of the statute, all of them might be. Neither the language nor the legislative history of Wis. Stat. § 973.06(1)(c) indicates that the legislature intended defendants to bear a pro rata share of the operating expenses of the State Crime Laboratory or any other law enforcement unit.
Id. at 242-43, 549 N.W.2d at 722-23 (citations omitted).
We recognize that the supreme court then also commented, “Nor has the legislature indicated that the cost statute allows the State to recover investigative or litigation expenses.” Id. at 243, 549 N.W.2d at 723. We read that general reference to “investigative ... expenses,” however, in context with the immediately‑preceding specific references to the state crime laboratory. We do not read that general observation, therefore, to preclude a sentencing court from invoking the authority of § 973.06(1)(c), Stats., that “allow[s]” it to order payment of “[f]ees ... to expert witnesses.” Given its emphasis on the special relationship between the State and its own crime laboratory, the supreme court's comment regarding “investigative ... expenses” would hardly seem to preclude payment of fees to a private entity.
Indeed, nothing in Ferguson suggests any rejection of Schmaling, which concluded, in part, that restitution for expert witness fees of a private entity was a cost under § 973.06(1)(c), payable as a part of a sentence. Schmaling, 198 Wis.2d at 763, 543 N.W.2d at 558. In Schmaling, Racine County retained an accident reconstruction expert to prepare for trial in a reckless homicide and reckless endangering safety case stemming from a highway accident. Id. As the State argues:
Schmaling and Ferguson are reconcilable. Schmaling stands for the proposition that under sec. 973.06(1)(c), Stats., a trial court may assess against a convicted defendant the expenses incurred by the state in retaining expert witnesses who are not state employees--in effect, “private” expert witnesses for whom a local unit of government actually pays during the course of prosecuting the defendant. Ferguson simply bars such cost assessments when the expert witnesses are state employees who do not charge the local unit of government for their services.
As the supreme court in Ferguson also explained, “[t]he word ‘fees’ in § 973.06(1)(c) describes a fixed charge for a professional service rendered by an expert witness, a sum which is ordinarily charged to and payable by another.” Ferguson, 202 Wis.2d at 241, 549 N.W.2d at 922. In this case the expense for DNA testing required payment to another—a private facility—for professional services rendered by the experts who performed the blood and tissue analysis. Thus, these were “fees” under § 973.06(1)(c), Stats., and, therefore, under Amato, constitute “costs” payable, as a condition of probation.
By the Court.—Judgments and order affirmed.
The categories in par. (a) include custody of the convicted offender which is in whole or in part the result of a probation or parole hold under s. 304.06(3) or 973.10(2) placed upon the person for the same course of conduct as that resulting in the new conviction.
By contrast, any credit due Beiersdorf, who was not on probation or parole, could only be awarded under § 973.155(1)(a).
Forfeiture. (1) If the conditions of the bond are not complied with, the court having jurisdiction over the defendant in the criminal action shall enter an order declaring the bail to be forfeited.
Beiersdorf notes that § 969.03(2), Stats., requires as a condition of bail that a defendant “shall not commit any crime.” Therefore, he argues, upon his arrest for bail jumping his bail on the sexual assault charge should have been forfeited. Thus, he maintains, “[o]nly the lack of paperwork revoking bail in the sexual assault case prevents [him from] receiving 44 days jail-time credit in the sexual assault case.”
We note that defense attorneys, in countless cases, do ask trial courts to convert personal recognizance bonds to cash bail when their clients have been arrested and do remain in custody on cash bail on subsequent charges. They do so precisely because they want to assure sentence credit on both offenses. That, however, did not occur in this case. Whether, somehow, that should have occurred by operation of law under § 969.13, Stats., is an issue raised by Beiersdorf for the first time in reply and is, therefore, an issue we will not address. See Swartwout v. Bilsie, 100 Wis.2d 342, 346 n.2, 302 N.W.2d 508, 512 n.2 (Ct. App. 1980).
Under sec. 973.046(1)(a), Stats., the “DNA surcharge” of $250 is a mandatory assessment that is to be applied in every case in which a defendant is convicted of violating a particular statute—including sec. 948.02(2), Stats., as in this case—regardless of whether any genetic testing was actually done. The assessment of the expenses of genetic testing in the present case is in addition to the DNA surcharge of $250 and is determined by the actual expenses incurred by the State in pursuing the genetic testing at the Memorial Blood Center of Minneapolis. The record does not disclose any specific dollar amount for this genetic testing.
973.20 Restitution. (1) When imposing sentence or ordering probation for any crime, the court, in addition to any other penalty authorized by law, shall order the defendant to make full or partial restitution under this section to any victim of the crime or, if the victim is deceased, to his or her estate, unless the court finds substantial reason not to do so and states the reason on the record.
 Beiersdorf does not dispute, however, that the blood center had a “relationship on the record to the crime of conviction.” See State v. Mattes, 175 Wis.2d 572, 581, 499 N.W.2d 711, 715 (Ct. App. 1993).
Probation. ... the court, by order, may withhold sentence or impose sentence under s. 973.15 and stay its execution, and in either case place the person on probation to the department for a stated period, stating in the order the reasons therefor. The court may impose any conditions which appear to be reasonable and appropriate. The period of probation may be made consecutive to a sentence on a different charge, whether imposed at the same time or previously.
Costs. (1) Except as provided in s. 93.20, the costs taxable against the defendant shall consist of the following items and no others:
(c) Fees and disbursements allowed by the court to expert witnesses.
 A trial court's discretionary determination of a probation condition may be reasonable and appropriate even though the trial court failed to accurately identify the specific legal authority for its order. See State v. Fishnick, 127 Wis.2d 247, 264, 378 N.W.2d 272, 281 (1985). Here, it is not clear whether the sentencing court intended to assess the expense of DNA testing as a condition of probation, as stated in its sentencing pronouncement and reflected on the judgment of conviction for bail jumping, or as restitution related to the sexual assault conviction, as implied by its written decision invoking “broad authority ... to impose restitution as a reasonable condition of the defendant's sentence and probation/parole.” Beiersdorf, however, challenges the authority of the sentencing court to order payment for the DNA testing on any basis; he does not base his challenge on the sentencing court's imprecise nomenclature.
 Although Beiersdorf's payments ultimately will go to the Memorial Blood Center of Minneapolis rather than to his victim, that is only the smallest step removed from the payments to the victims in Heyn and Brown that ultimately reimbursed them for payments to a burglar alarm company and a school system.
Further, contrary to Beiersdorf's additional argument, the condition is no less reasonable for having been imposed on the probation stemming from bail jumping directly involving the same victim. See State v. Miller, 175 Wis.2d 204, 210, 499 N.W.2d 215, 217 (Ct. App. 1993) (condition of probation need not directly relate to crime for which defendant placed on probation where defendant needs to be rehabilitated from related conduct). See also State v. James P., 180 Wis.2d 677, 685-86, 510 N.W.2d 730, 733 (Ct. App. 1993) (probationary condition requiring delinquent to submit to blood testing to determine whether he was father of his sister's child was reasonably related to delinquent's rehabilitation even though such blood testing was unrelated to offense for which he was placed on probation).
 We note that in Schmaling, as in the instant case, the expert witness did not testify; both cases were resolved on guilty or no contest pleas. An expert witness under § 973.06(1)(c), Stats., however, is an expert witnesses regardless of whether he or she actually testifies in person. State v. Ferguson, 195 Wis.2d 174, 180, 536 N.W.2d 112, 118-19 (Ct. App. 1995), rev'd on other grounds, 202 Wis.2d 233, 549 N.W.2d 718 (1996).
 Beiersdorf also argues that the factual record lacks specification of the amount payable to the blood center or evidence of a billing or payment. Such determinations, however, often are made subsequent to sentencing and, if disputed, are subject to trial court review. The lack of specificity in this record does not undermine the sentencing court's authority to order the payment.

- Bobby McFerrin's 1988 pop hit "Don't Worry, Be Happy" is guaranteed to bring back memories for listeners of a certain age. His son Taylor's debut album for Brainfeeder is unlikely to have the same effect, but it is, in its own oblique way, a curiously nostalgic record. Early Riser recalls '70s LPs by the likes of Herbie Hancock—with whom McFerrin Sr. collaborated—and actually evokes the process of remembering, insomuch as it's full of teasing hints and hazy feelings that ebb and flow throughout.
That sensation seems to reflect the way the Brooklyn-based producer constructed the record. McFerrin pieced Early Riser together from scraps of demos he'd left unfinished. In some cases, such as "4am" and "Blind Aesthetics," they remain short bits of ideas. The album title gives a good indication of its drowsy feel, one familiar from other Brainfeeder records such as Teebs' recent E S T A R A or more chilled moments from label boss Flying Lotus. Some tracks slowly reveal themselves like dawn spreading across the skyline. "Postpartum" begins with languid keys and McFerrin murmuring "I want to love you / in such a special way" before rising aloft on whorls of synth. "Already There" has the effect of a camera zooming further and further out, focusing first on the skittish drumbeat before rippling keys and a centipede bassline expand the frame until you feel like you're floating far above it.
Robert Glasper and Thundercat are the record's two most famous guests. Label-mate RYAT's ragged yet childish voice sounds close to Joanna Newsom on the forlorn "A Place In My Heart." "Decisions" shows Taylor is a consummate songwriter as well as a beatmaker, with Emily King's beautiful voice swimming in soft electronic currents and submerged sub-bass. McFerrin's dad makes an appearance on "Invisible / Visible," scatting and whistling to himself like a man lost in a daydream. Like all of Early Riser, this tune seems content to meander along at its own pace, going nowhere fast and savouring every moment.

While Americans don’t have a corner on this international tradition, I must say that we have some delicious varieties to bring to the table. Now, technically, the word barbecue refers to cooking meat with the heat and smoke of a fire. However, in the states (and especially in the South), we often equate barbecuing specifically with pork…and sauce. You can’t forget the sauce. American barbecue sauces come in an array of colors and flavors, depending on the area of origin. It’s become a cultural phenomena, and the subject of many debates — who has the “real” sauce?
South Carolina’s claim to fame is a mustard based sauce. I’ve actually never made this sauce before, but anytime I order barbecue at a restaurant, it’s always my go-to sauce. I found a recipe that I might try this summer. I also want to try out a new drink; one of my German students told me that radler, a popular drink in Germany, is the perfect refreshment to have with barbecue. I have the links to both recipes below. If any of you try them out, let me know what you think. I’d especially like to know if the radler recipe I found is authentic!

In August 2017, I wrote about impending cuts to the National Institutes of Health budget and that fear about massive cuts may be unfounded based on historical evidence. On March 23, 2018, President Trump signed a new spending bill into law. Congress decided to increase budgets for most government science and health agencies. The NIH will see a historic high level of funding at $37.1 billion, an increase of $3 billion from 2017. Other agencies who received a funding bump were:
- Centers for Disease Control (CDC): +$1.1 billion
- National Science Foundation (NSF): +$330 million
- Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA): +$850 million
- Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ): +$10 million
Global health initiatives did not receive an increase but did not suffer from funding cuts proposed by the president’s budget and funding remained level at $8.69B. Importantly, the Fogarty International Center remained funded at $76 million.
This is all good news, or at least it gives us some breathing room to continue to fund studies in process and devise short and long-term funding strategies. However, the future of most programs is still uncertain. It is unlikely that these increased levels of funding are sustainable and that all programs will make it through the next budget unscathed. Moreover, NIH is seeing a continued reduction in its purchasing power due to year over year flat funding that does not keep up with inflation and sequestration (JHU Office of Government and Community Affairs, April 16, 2018). The ramifications of lost purchasing power include reduced funding for postdoctoral fellows, scaling back of patient numbers in funded trials, and fewer new programs.
Which areas are getting the most attention and funding?
What does this mean for science and health research funding and the School of Nursing?
We need to heighten our level of activism and visibility to the public and politicians. Faculty who apply for funding need to have a very thorough understanding of all agency policies and agendas. At the School of Nursing, our vocal and strong nurse leaders’ trips to Washington to advocate for nursing education, research, and improved patient care continue to shape health care policy and research funding.
Aligning your research with sponsoring agencies’ missions is more important than ever. Cultivating and maintaining relationships with program officers and agency contacts are also imperative. To this purpose, the NIH RePORTER Matchmaker feature is invaluable for new investigators, or those applying to funding under an unfamiliar Institute Center (IC). Along with research bios and manuscript abstracts, the Matchmaker feature searches contacts in specific areas.
If you require help with any research funding support, the Office for Science and Innovation provides resources including editorial and biostatistics support, grant writing advice as well as facilitating connections with internal and external research and support resources.

Moscow Rejects U.S. Claims of Arms Control Breaches [View all]
Source: RIA Novosti
Moscow dismissed on Tuesday U.S. allegations of its noncompliance with arms control and nonproliferation obligations.
The U.S. State Department issued a report entitled 2011 Adherence to and Compliance with Arms Control, Nonproliferation, and Disarmament Agreements and Commitments on August 31, in particular finding Russia guilty of violating the chemical and biological weapons conventions.
It said the Americans do not cite any specific violations, only alleging that Russia engages in biological activities with potential dual-use applications.
As for Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), unlike Russia, the United States has not as yet ratified it and is responsible for the fact that it has not yet entered into force, the ministry said.

|BEIJING Saquon Barkley Giants Jersey , Feb. 22 (Xinhua) -- A bylined opinion article was published on Saturday to expose the true nature of the "middle way" approach preached by the Dalai Lama.
Following is the translation of the article:
What is this "middle way" the by Dalai Lama preaches?
by Qi Xuan
According to news from the White House, U.S. President Barack Obama met with the Dalai Lama on Friday and expressed his support for the high monk's "middle way" approach.
What on earth is this "middle way"?
Since the 1980s, the Dalai clique has failed in their pursuit of "Tibet independence" by extremist means, under the backdrop of significant changes of international situation and the reform and opening up in China.
To get themselves out of trouble, the Dalai clique changed their approach, playing the "middle way" trump card and attempting to find a new way for the so-called "Tibet cause."
The Dalai clique claim the "middle way" is within the framework of China's constitution Odell Beckham Jr Giants Jersey , and nothing more than "a high degree of autonomy" over a proposed "Greater Tibet."
Though the "middle way" appears to respect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and does not specifically seek "Tibet independence", it is at odds with China's constitution and state system in every conceivable way. It is nothing but smoke and mirrors, camouflage and deceit.
Firstly, "Middle-way" rhetoric has never recognized Tibet as a part of China. The "middle way" calls Tibet an "occupied state". The "middle way" is nothing but a historical and legal means of peddling "Tibet independence" when "conditions are ripe".
Secondly, the rhetoric proposes a "Greater Tibet" Eli Manning Giants Jersey , -- a region extending to Tibetan areas in the provinces of Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan -- or roughly one fourth of China.
Thirdly, the "middle way" demands "a high degree of autonomy", leaving all affairs but military and diplomacy under the control of the Dalai Lama. This amounts to the overthrow of China's state system on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Fourthly, the "middle way" requires the Chinese government to pull out the People's Liberation Army from "Greater Tibet" and turn the area into an "international peace zone."
Fifthly Lawrence Taylor Giants Jersey , the "middle way" will drive other ethnic groups out of "Greater Tibet."
The "middle way" means establishing "a state within a state" which rejects the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC). It does not adopt socialist system, does not follow national laws and policies, does not allow the presence of the national military, and prevents other "nationalities" from entering.
The "middle way" is nothing more than a political word game to realize "Tibet independence" step by step.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tibet -- after important developmental stages including peaceful liberation, democratic reform Ray-Ray Armstrong Giants Jersey , establishment of an autonomous region, reform and opening up -- has been on a development track in line with the development of modern China and the world. After more than half century of development, Tibet today, compared to the 1950s, has undergone profound changes.
The Tibetan people have gained freedom, equality and dignity. They enjoy the fruits of modern civilization and strive for a new socialist Tibet featuring unity Patrick Omameh Giants Jersey , democracy, prosperity, civilization and harmony.
Over 60 years, in the embrace of the big family of the Chinese nation and with commitment to the socialist path, people of all ethnic groups in Tibet have become masters of the fate of their society and themselves. Tibet has turned from poverty and backwardness to prosperity and civilization.
Only by persisting with the leadership of the CPC, the socialist system and regional ethnic autonomy Cody Latimer Giants Jersey , can the people remain masters of their land, that all rights of all the people can be realized, and the fundamental interests of Tibetans be defended and developed.
The monk's "middle way" contradicts history and reality. It is against the will and demands of the Chinese people of all ethnic groups including Tibetans. The approach is a dead end.
Relevant country should be able to tell right from wrong and should not make false judgements and bad choices. It should do more deeds that truly benefit all Chinese people, including people in Tibet.
Chinese sports brand Li Ning Co Ltd on Friday said it expects to post its third straight full-year loss, as it grapples with a restructuring, bloated inventories and slowing demand following the 2008 Olympics.
Li Ning Kareem Martin Giants Jersey , which is backed by private equity powerhouse TPG Capital and Singapore wealth fund GIC, forecast a net loss of up to 820 million yuan (88 million pounds) for 2014 due in part to costs related to its transformation plans.
Li Ning said the financial performance for the second half of last year was expected to improve from a net loss of 585.8 million yuan in the first half. Same-store-sales growth turned positive during the July-December period, it added.
Shares of the $600 million company fell about two percent by lunch, reversing earlier gains fuelled by hopes the company was turning a corner. The benchmark Hang Seng Index was 1.03 percent higher.
"Investors are glad to hear about the improvement after all this years of transformation," said Steven Leung, a sales director at UOB Kay Hian. "But people are still cautious on the effectiveness of the plans Nate Solder Giants Jersey , and prefer to wait and see."
Li Ning, which teamed up with U.S. basketball star Dwayne Wade in 2013 to launch sneakers, has undergone a transformation aiming to trim inventory and rebuild its brand to deal with intensifying competition from the likes of ANTA Sports Products Ltd and Nike Inc.
The company is due to announce its full-year earnings in March.

Michael Furey, Virginia Tech professor emeritus of mechanical and biomedical engineering, recently conducted the first study of wear in human cartilage. Furey will report his research and results at the 231st American Chemical Society National Meeting in Atlanta March 26-30.
Furey has been studying lubrication and wear of cartilage for 20 years. Many years ago, he took a one-year sabbatical to work at the Boston Children's Hospital Medical Center to carry out studies of cartilage wear using bovine cartilage. He demonstrated the importance of fluid biochemistry on wear. In one example, a complex protein isolated by David Swann reduced cartilage wear by 90 percent when added to a saline reference fluid-a level equaling that of normal bovine synovial fluid.
For the last eight years, Furey and Hugo P. Veit, professor of pathobiology in the Virginia Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech, and their students have continued the research on the biochemistry of cartilage wear based on bovine cartilage.
While Furey and his group at Virginia Tech had been developing methods of measuring cartilage wear, Mats Brittberg of the Cartilage Research Unit of Goteborg University had developed methods of cartilage repair, including autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI). But the Swedish group had no idea how long the repair would last -- days, weeks, months, years? Thus, three years ago a collaboration was born to conduct what the two groups believe is the first research of human cartilage wear under controlled "in vitro" conditions.
Brittberg's ACI method involves taking small samples of healthy cartilage from a patient's damaged joint, culturing the tissue in a Petri dish under controlled conditions to allow millions of chondrocyte cells to grow, and then injecting these

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Students at schools across the Birmingham area, the state and the nation will huddle around campus flag poles Wednesday morning for an annual prayer service.
The "See You at the Pole" event, which began at a Texas school in 1990, usually lasts from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. before students go to class. More than 2 million students nationwide are estimated to take part each year.
First Priority of Alabama, a campus ministry organization, in 2011 estimated 30,000 students gathered before school at more than 200 public schools across central Alabama in observance of the rally.
First Priority has about 200 student-led prayer groups at schools across the region.

You, the Living: a grand tragicomedy
by Fabien Lemercier
"Be pleased then, you the living, in your delightfully warmed bed, before Lethe’s ice-cold wave will lick your escaping foot.” This quote from Goethe, alluded to in You, the Living [+see also:
interview: Pernilla Sandström
interview: Roy Andersson
film profile], the new film by the highly original Swedish director Roy Andersson, aptly sums up the director’s objectives: to add a joie de vivre expressed by burlesque humour to the quite desperate state of human beings and the contemporary world.
Well received at its screening today in the Un Certain Regard sidebar of the Cannes Film Festival, the feature – the fourth in the 37-year career of the director-producer (winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes 2000) – failed, however, to live up to the expectations of its admirers.
While Andersson excels in his characteristic style, consisting of artifice (shooting in a studio), well-mastered simplicity (scenes with wide angle shots from a single point of view and long shots, brilliant theatrical composition), suggestive atmospheres (softened lighting and monochrome tones, especially green) and a narrative aspect composed of about 50 scenes from the daily life of inhabitants of a big city, the film does not concentrate sufficiently on any of its characters for the audience to truly identify with them.
This distance does not mean You, the Living is not an outstanding film. Exceptionally directed, it succeeds in the treatment of a range of serious and universal issues dealt with in the guise of offbeat and destructive humour.
Couples that argue or ignore each other, rejected or illusionary lovers, a tired psychiatrist, a racist executive, a nightmarish worker, a carpet seller, a revengeful hairdresser, corrupt businessmen, and especially News Orleans jazz musicians: You, the Living shows everyday life through its characters who meet in bars, shops and at concerts. The set, constructed in Andersson’s own studios, offers compelling visual variations.
Strewn with dreamlike scenes, the film pours out its philosophy of incommunicability with many hilarious jokes dealing with the most serious social and personal themes: alcoholism, the death penalty, religion, old age, materialism and justice. A sombre vision of the world about which it is better to laugh at, as the director masterfully shows.
A European co-production between Sweden (Roy Andersson Filmproduktion), Denmark (Posthust Teatret/Spillefilmkompanet 4 1/2), Germany (Thermidor Filmproduktion) and France (Société Parisienne de Production), You, the Living carried a €4.8m budget.

Paramount's musical biopic Bob Marley: One Love will tower over Sony/Marvel Lady Teia with an expected gross of $30 million to $35 million compared to the Marvel pic's $20 million to $25 million during the six-day period of Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day.
While these numbers haven't changed much since they hit the tracking, doesn't that seem a little anticlimactic for the President's Day period? I mean, Disney/Marvel Studios' Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania grossed $120.3 million in its four-day opening a year ago, and many threw cold water on that result. Go ahead: who wouldn't want that right now?
“In a period without going to the cinema, it is difficult to start over, unless you have a franchise-type film, which Dune: Part Two it’s early March,” noted a rival film executive insightful about the impact of Hollywood’s two attacks on the 2024 theatrical schedule.
Bob Marley: One Love It's definitely solid with multicultural audiences, but it's also a top pick as it plays with older women, older men, and younger women. Paramount has the most PLFs for this $70 million PG-13 feature film production directed by King RichardReinaldo Marcus Green and stars Kingsley Ben-Adir in the title role. The overall theater count is 3,500 theaters.
Rotten Tomatoes critics have it at 37% Rotten, which is lower than Paramount's 2019 Elton John biopic rocket man which shot 89% Certified Fresh. Bob Marley: One Love also hits 47 international markets this week, including Australia, Benelux, Brazil, France, Germany, Mexico, Scandinavia, Spain and the United Kingdom. Italy will leave on February 22, South Korea on March 14 and Japan on May 10.
For most exhibitors, we understand Bob Marley: One Love is selling more than Lady Teia Advance ticket sales 2 for 1.
Lady Teia it has all Imax screens and a few PLFs in its 4,000-theater count. Pic is trending with younger women and men. Sony has been moving lately to emphasize the thriller aspect of the film rather than any connection to the Spider-Man universe; There is concern that fanboys are anti-female superhero films, since The wonders recorded the lowest opening for Disney/Marvel Studios at $46.1 million in the United States, $84.5 million domestic final and $206 million global. There are no comments yet for Lady Teia. The world premiere is tonight in Westwood.
Whatever it is Lady Teia what he lacks, he makes up for in talent with Dakota Johnson, who was box office queen on Valentine's Day/Presidents' Day before with Fifty Shades of grey, and Sydney “Bringing Back the Rom-Com” Sweeney, who is making money with Sony Nobody but you which is about to gross US$200 million worldwide. Lady Teia cost $80 million before P&A. The feature film Spider-Women was co-written by Claire Parker, Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless; the latter duo wrote Sony/Marvel's Morbius ($39M domestic opening, $73.8M domestic final, $167.4M WW).
Both Bob Marley: One Love It is Lady Teia will be opening cold (no Tuesday night previews) on Valentine's Day, a profitable day to go to the movies.
We will update you when we have more news from abroad.

There are beauties in Sicily that capture the eyes, others that intrigue the most refined and curious palates, finally there are beauties that can only be discovered through the sense of smell.
The aromatic herbs, spices, wild plants used in the kitchen, all together constitute an inestimable heritage of ancient knowledge and millenary traditions which, in their own way, tell the island and make the visitor look at it from a new point of view. different.
From the Latin Rosmarinus, the name of this aromatic herb takes on different meanings, "sea dew" or "rose of Mary". The latter, it seems, is the most appropriate since it is said that its flowers were originally white and turned blue-purple like Mary's mantle after the Virgin, during the Flight into Egypt, threw her mantle on a rosemary bush. , which absorbed its color.
Used for its multiple properties already by the Greeks and Egyptians, rosemary still spreads its scent today in the Sicilian countryside and from the balconies of Sicilian housewives.
It is a shrub belonging to the Lamiaceae family. With a pungent but never banal smell, it grows spontaneously throughout the Mediterranean coast and reaches up to 200 cm in height.
In ancient times it was used as an amulet against evil and to preserve homes from bad people, but soon, when knowledge of its multiple healing properties was acquired, it was used to combat rheumatism and baldness.
Mainly used to flavor roasts, we find it in various typical Sicilian dishes, for example, in Messina-style mutton, rabbit all'arrabbiata, and in many other dishes, especially meat-based.
Another spice that we find in many typical Sicilian dishes is wild oregano.
The current scientific name, Origanum vulgare, actually comes from the Greek (òros, meaning "mountain" and ganào, meaning "I am pleased", terms that, put together, allude to the idea of "mountain delight").
Oregano is a shrub that prefers sunny and dry places and can grow up to 80 centimeters in height. With a strong but pleasant smell, it has a delicate flavor and is often used to dress salads and grilled meats.
Famous is the Sicilian Salmoriglio, a sauce composed of extra virgin olive oil, salt, vinegar and oregano that accompanies grilled meat or fish. It is also common to use a bunch of oregano to "wet" the meat to be cooked on the grill.
In Ancient Greece it was considered a symbol of prosperity and fertility and, for this reason, oregano was used as a garland to decorate the head of future spouses. Today, thanks to its antiseptic and stimulating properties, it is often used as a natural remedy for coughs and other respiratory diseases, as well as for its culinary skills.Laurel
Laurel is an evergreen plant with oval and glossy leaves. Part of the Lauraceae family, it grows spontaneously in hilly areas and in the woods.
Rich in antiseptic and digestive properties, it is used in the kitchen to prepare decoctions against meteorism or to reduce the acidity of some dishes (in fact, just add a few bay leaves in the sauce to make it lighter and more appetizing).
To make the decoction, just add a little in a saucepan with water and lemon, bring everything to a boil, let it rest for about 15 minutes, filter and serve with sugar.
In Ancient Greece, laurel was the emblem of wisdom and victory, which is why it is still used today, in an ornamental wreath, during the celebration of the Degree. It is also believed that hanging a laurel wreath, packed on a Sunday, on the doorstep seems to favor luck and good luck.
Mint is an aromatic herb belonging to the Labiate family. It prefers sunny places and can reach up to 50 centimeters in height.
With a pungent and fresh smell, it is used in many Sicilian recipes (for example, to prepare the recipe for zucchini with mint), especially to dress roasted vegetables, fish or simple salads.
Thanks to its sedative and disinfectant properties it is often used in the form of herbal tea and decoction.
Mint is a herb that has very ancient origins. It is said, in fact, that the name itself derives from Myntha, a nymph of rare beauty, who was transformed into a herbaceous plant by Pluto's jealous wife, Proserpina.
Its perfume, deep and penetrating, is precisely the gift of Pluto, created to remember it over time.
The alcohol from this plant, Menthol, is essential, which is often used to combat gastro-intestinal disorders and as a disinfectant on the skin.
The name of this aromatic plant comes from the Greek Basilikos, which means “herb of the king”. Basil is considered the "real" plant par excellence. With a sober and elegant aroma, basil gives dishes a touch of lightness and fragrance.
Coming from ancient India, it has acquired considerable importance along the coasts of the Mediterranean, so much so that it is also cultivated in Italy and used in many recipes. In addition to the famous pesto, with basil it is possible to dress salads, first courses, main courses, side dishes and so on and so forth.
In ancient times, among the Egyptians it was used during the embalming of the dead, while the Greeks and Romans jealously guarded the basil plants, because they were able to ward off curses and fatal fate.
Today, thanks to the knowledge acquired, we know that basil is rich in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and is indicated against colds and to counteract stress. In addition, its refined scent helps concentration and relaxes the nervous system.
Capers are the edible buds of the caper plant. In addition to the buds, but more rarely, the fruits, known as cucunci are also consumed.
Capers are obtained from the Capparis Spinosa plant, belonging to the Capparidaceae family. Capers grow spontaneously in the Mediterranean area and are distinguished by white flowers. What we eat like capers are none other than the unopened buds. They cannot be eaten fresh because they have a bitter taste, so they are brined with salt and then stored for consumption.
In Sicily we have different varieties of capers, the main ones are: the Aeolian one typical of the Aeolian archipelago, the spiny one produced in the hinterland, the Iblean caper and finally the Pantelleria caper grown in Pantelleria. The latter has been awarded the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) certification because, given the volcanic origin of the soil, it has a particular flavor that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
Rich in antioxidants, capers are consumed in various Sicilian recipes to give more flavour to both vegetables, fish and meat.Sage
Belonging to the Labiatae family, Salvia looks like an evergreen shrub with wide and velvety leaves. The name derives from the Latin Salvus, to be understood in the meaning of “healthy”.
Sage is a plant that boasts many healing properties and, for this reason, it was used in ancient times as a natural remedy for fever and cough. Passing a few fresh Sage leaves over your teeth is a great way to clean them when you don't have a toothbrush handy.
For the Romans, Sage was a sacred plant, the collection of which was intended for a select few through a propitiatory rite.
Today Sage is used to flavor foods and dishes, especially legumes and vegetables, or to flavor meat dishes. Salvia is also excellent fried in batter: it is a delicious and tasty appetizer.
Given its particular purifying action it is used for skin and hair care, while in ancient times it was thought that burning a few sage leaves at home eliminates negative energies in the rooms.
Red hot chili pepper
The last but not least of the most used spices in Sicily is red chilli.
Sensual and exciting, with its spicy taste, it gives the dishes body and flavor.
Imported by Christopher Columbus from America, red pepper was used in ancient times by the Indians of Peru and Mexico. It belongs to the Solanaceae family and there are several varieties, more or less different in shape and taste. The one most used in Sicilian and Mediterranean cuisine is certainly the red one.
Chili pepper is used to enrich first and second courses, but also for preserves, as it favors the preservation of the properties of food.
Rich in anticoagulant properties, chilli pepper is widely used to promote blood circulation and combat cardiovascular diseases.
Similar in shape, the chili pepper is ideally associated with the lucky horn, so much so that it was customary to hang bunches of chili peppers on the doorstep as a talisman to ward off misfortune and slander.
These spices and aromatic herbs that are used in cooking, not only give flavour and pleasure to the dishes, but are essential for our health given their beneficial and healing properties

The main differences between Pluto and Callisto would be that Pluto is a dwarf planet with 5 moons that orbit it whilst Callisto is the 3rd largest moon in the solar system that also orbits Jupiter, Pluto is far smaller than Callisto with a diameter of 2,370km whilst Callisto’s is 4,820.6km which also makes the latter the heavier of the two.
There are various other differences between the two so, continue reading for a more detailed look at each celestial body along with a more in-depth look at their similarities and differences.
What Is The Planet Pluto?
Table of Contents
In the past Pluto was the 9th farthest official planet in our solar system however, in 2006 after many debates between astronomers, the International Astronomical Union officially downgraded it to a dwarf planet.
The reason for this downgrade at the time was primarily down to Pluto simply being very small when compared to every other planet and even the moons orbiting these planets. Pluto’s dwarf status is debated still to this day but, for now it still remains under this dwarf bracket for a planet
Its diameter for example is only 2,370km, which is a third of Earth’s Moon. With that being said, despite the significant size discrepancy Pluto shows, it still does have more moon like objects orbiting it than Earth and I’m not saying just one more.
In total this terrestrial dwarf planet has 5.
Pluto’s atmosphere consists mostly of molecular nitrogen whilst molecules of methane and carbon monoxide have been observed also. As for its surface, it consist mostly of frozen nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide ices.
One of Pluto’s most unique characteristic is that Charon (its largest moon) is tidally locked to it and vice versa, which means that the two essentially orbit each other.
In essence only one side of Charon and one side of Pluto surface will face each other at any given time.
Pluto’s temperature is between -222 to -232 degrees Celsius based on how close it gets to the Sun when orbiting it, whilst its core temperature isn’t anything too special sitting around 500 – 1,000 degrees Celsius.
The main reason it’s as cold as it is and has a relatively cold core in comparison to the other planets would be, which is mostly down to its size. A larger size would mean more mass could be compressed at the center which would produce more heat at the core.
Pluto’s orbit is also different from the other main plants in our solar system, following an elliptical orbital path as opposed to the circular path the others take. As a result of its distance from the Sun, Pluto will complete each one of these elliptical cycles around once every 247.78 years.
Even its rotational cycle is very slow, where one cycle is completed in 157 hours. Another interesting fact is the Pluto’s axial tilt is almost on its side at 57 degrees, similar to Uranus.
What Is The Moon Callisto?
Callisto is one of the large moons orbiting Jupiter, the outermost of the Galilean moons, first discovered on 7th January 1610. The surface of this icy world is frozen, but scientists believe an underground ocean could reside beneath the ice.
Even if there’s water on Callisto, it won’t necessarily hold life because the surface is so old. Scientists will need to conduct more research into the moon before determining whether this is a likely possibility.
The ESA’s JUICE (Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer) mission is focused on the three ice moons of Jupiter. It is expected to arrive in 2030 and will focus on learning more about the environment of each, as well as their potential for hosting life.
Scientists estimate that Callisto is around 4.5 billion years old (the same age as Jupiter), and its average distance from the Sun is approximately 778 million km. It has a diameter of 4820.6km, which makes it similar in size to the planet Mercury, and the average temperature is a frigid minus 139.2 degrees Celsius.
Callisto takes seven days to orbit its planet at an average distance of 1,880,000km, and it is tidally locked, meaning the same side of it always faces Jupiter. But this moon experiences less tidal influence than the other Galilean moons because it lies in the orbit of Jupiter’s primary radiation belt.
The name of this moon is derived from the stories of Greek myth. Callisto was the nymph who had an affair with Zeus, the King of the Gods. Upon hearing this news, Zeus’ wife Hera turned Callisto into a star and placed her in the Ursa Major constellation. Interestingly, every moon of Jupiter is named after a Greek figure who Zeus seduced.
Callisto may be the third biggest moon and similar in size to the planet Mercury, but it only has a mass of 107,593,737,963.819 billion kg. That may sound like a lot, but it’s only ⅓ the mass of the similarly sized Mercury.
You may wonder why scientists classify Callisto as a “moon” rather than a planet if it’s almost the same size as Mercury. The reason is simple; planets must orbit the sun, but Callisto orbits one of the planets.
The composition of this frigid world is around 60% rock and iron and 40% ice. The moon has roughly equal amounts of rock and ice, plus the potential for water below the surface. There are also traces of carbon dioxide, organic compounds, and silicates.
This moon is one of the oldest landscapes in the Milky way and the most heavily cratered body in our system. However, scientists believe this could now be a “dead” moon as there are no longer any signs of volcanism or plate tectonics on its surface.
Similarities Between Pluto And Callisto
Callisto and Pluto do have their fair share of similarities, which in this case would include the following:
- Both have a hotter central core.
- Both are a spherical in shape.
- Both are terrestrial planets.
- Both have a very thin atmosphere and a rocky surface.
- Neither have tectonic plates.
- Both elliptically orbit their celestial objects.
Differences Between Pluto And Callisto
In regards to the differences, they would be the following:
- Callisto is the bigger of the two as it has a diameter of 4,820.6km compared to Pluto’s 2,370km.
- Pluto has 5 moons whilst Callisto has 0.
- Pluto is a dwarf planet whilst Callisto is a natural satellite.
- Pluto orbits the Sun whilst Callisto orbits Jupiter and the Sun.
- It takes Pluto 247.78 years to complete a full orbit around the Sun whilst Callisto completes it in 12 years.
- A day on Pluto takes 157 hours whilst a day on Callisto is 17 days.
- Pluto has an axial tilt of 57 degrees compared to Callisto’s that is practically 0.
- Callisto’s average temperature is -139.2 degrees whilst Pluto’s average ranges between -222 and -232 degrees Celsius.
- Callisto’s atmosphere is composed of a very thin carbon dioxide based exosphere whilst Pluto’s atmosphere is composed of 90% nitrogen and 10% methane, carbon monoxide among other complex molecules.
- Callisto’s gravity is 1.236 m/s² compared to Pluto’s that is 0.62 m/s².
- Pluto’s mass is 1.309 x 10^22 whilst Callisto’s mass is 1.07 x 10^23 kg.
- In regards to density, Pluto’s is 1.88 g/cm³ whilst Callisto’s is 1.83 g/cm³
Both Pluto and Callisto do have their fair share of similarities from their elliptical orbital pattern, their low density bodies and terrestrial composition.
With that being said there a lot of differences between the two as well such as their size, mass, the length of their days, the length of there orbital cycle and beyond.

This Surprising History of Sesame Street Will Make You Think
The devastating tragedy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s death spurred many movements. One of them was the formation of the Black Psychiatrists of America.
Using Civil Rights movement tactics, they demanded the American Psychiatry Association recognize their role in perpetuating racism and recognize it as a serious societal issue. And it was their founding president who would change children’s television forever...
Dr. Chester Pierce was trained in child development and public health, and saw the potential effects of TV on the developing minds of children. By 1969, nearly every home in this country had a TV!
Dr. Pierce saw TVs as “carriers” of biased, racist views and images that negatively affect Black children. Ever heard of “microaggressions?” He coined the term from his study on negative and stigmatizing representations of Black people on TV.
Dr. Pierce was involved in the creation of the groundbreaking television show for pre-school children that would soon be known as “Sesame Street.”
It was purposely the most racially diverse cast ever on public television, and featured an imaginatively designed inner-city neighborhood, like that of many Black children.
One of the most highly regarded children television shows ever was specifically designed to counteract the negative effects of racist programming on TV, and grew out of the Black-led movement to reform the field of psychiatry. Amazing!

Question: What is the mode of delivery of twin pregnancy when the leading twin is dead? Is there anything against vaginal delivery if there is not maternal or fetal compromise for the second non leading twin?
Please note: the search for this response was carried out over 1 year ago.
Eligible users may request an update of the evidence by submitting a new Clinical Query here.
Answer: Six small case series were identified, each including between 6 and 41 multiple pregnancies, mainly twins(1-6). The reported caesarean section rates varied between 16.7 and 93.3%
(Evidence level III)
The RCOG Study Group on Multiple Pregnancy (7) says that: "Vaginal delivery of the surviving co-twin is considered to be a reasonable option but, because of the high prevalence of vascular anastomosis in monochorionic twin placentas, many elect for caesarean delivery to avoid the potential risks of an acute TTTS" [twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome]
