Oak Bay Police saw a variety of incidents between Jan. 13-19. (Black Press Media File Photo)

Oak Bay driver hits cyclist, police consider blaming snow boots

Break and enter, thefts also seen in mid-January

An Oak Bay driver might have his snow gear to blame for hitting a cyclist in Oak Bay on Jan. 16.

Oak Bay police were called to the intersection of Oak Bay Avenue and Elgin Road after a cyclist was struck. The cyclist was heading eastbound on Oak Bay Avenue when he was hit from behind by a pickup truck.

The truck driver told police he tried to stop, but was unable to. Police noted this may have been due to the man’s snow boots. His truck was towed and issued a level 1 notice for inspection. The cyclist was able to ride away.

But the Oak Bay police encountered a couple additional incidents last week; just two days before, an Oak Bay vehicle owner came home from vacation to find his or her car missing. On Jan. 14 the Oak Bay Police Department received a report of a car theft with a value of over $5,000 from the 2000-block of Avondale Road. Police say the incident is still under investigation.

Lastly, on Jan. 19 police responded to a break and enter report on King George Terrace. The thief gained entry to the house by forcing the door open; the owner is still determining what was stolen.

Anyone with information on any of these incidences can call the Oak Bay Police Department non-emergency number at 250-592-2424 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

To address them, we provide:

  • Air Quality Testing - Improving air quality is only possible if you know exactly what is currently wrong with your air. For this reason, we offer comprehensive air testing for all of our clients. These advanced methods allow us to detect not only allergens and other routine issues, but also serious health threats like asbestos.
  • Air Filtration - We can install an air filtration surface on your HVAC equipment. This prevents allergens, dust and other health threats from getting into your air in the first place, thereby stopping breathing issues before they can even start.
  • Humidifier Service - By installing new humidifiers and repairing existing ones, we make you and your family more comfortable and prevent your nose and throat from getting too dry. Humidification also helps to keep your furniture and upholstery in good condition.

Keeping your business’s air quality safe is important for both your employees and your customers.

SAC Mechanical offers the same testing, filtration and humidifier service to Boulder area businesses that we provide to local families. With our help, you can improve air quality in your office dramatically, providing you with:

  • Healthy Employees - Giving your employees clean air makes them healthier, more comfortable and more productive. It also prevents those who have asthma and other respiratory issues from experiencing serious health problems at work.
  • Confident Customers - Potential customers who visit your office will associate their experience with your products and brand. This means that the more easily they can breathe in your building, the more likely they are to form a positive opinion of your company and buy your products.
  • Efficient Air - Quality filtration makes your HVAC system more efficient, lowering your energy bills and reducing the need to invest in repairs.

A Coupled Tabulated Kinetics and Flame Propagation Model for the Simulation of Fumigated Medium Speed Dual-Fuel Engines

The present work describes the numerical modeling of medium-speed marine engines, operating in a fumigated dual-fuel mode, i.e. with the second fuel injected in the ports. This engine technology allows reducing engine-out emissions while maintaining the engine efficiency and can be fairly easily retrofitted from current diesel engines. The main premixed fuel that is added can be a low-carbon one and can additionally be of a renewable nature, thereby reducing or even completely removing the global warming impact. To fully optimize the operational parameters of such a large marine engine, computational fluid dynamics can be very helpful. Accurately describing the combustion process in such an engine is key, as the prediction of the heat release and the pollutant formation is crucial. Auto-ignition of the diesel fuel needs to be captured, followed by the combustion and flame propagation of the premixed fuel.
Technical Paper

Evaluation of Wall Heat Flux Models for Full Cycle CFD Simulation of Internal Combustion Engines under Motoring Operation

The present work details a study of the heat flux through the walls of an internal combustion engine. The determination of this heat flux is an important aspect in engine optimization, as it influences the power, efficiency and the emissions of the engine. Therefore, a set of simulation tools in the OpenFOAM® software has been developed, that allows the calculation of the heat transfer through engine walls for ICEs. Normal practice in these types of engine simulations is to apply a wall function model to calculate the heat flux, rather than resolving the complete thermo-viscous boundary layer, and perform simulations of the closed engine cycle. When dealing with a complex engine, this methodology will reduce the overall computational cost. It however increases the need to rely on assumptions on both the initial flow field and the behavior in the near-wall region.

Borrow responsibly
We encourage students and families to start with savings, grants, scholarships, and federal student loans to pay for college. Students and families should evaluate all anticipated monthly loan payments, and how much the student expects to earn in the future, before considering a private student loan.

This information is for graduate students attending participating degree-granting schools. Borrowers must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents if the school is located outside of the United States. Non-U.S. citizen borrowers who reside in the U.S. are eligible with a creditworthy cosigner (who must be a U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident) and are required to provide an unexpired government-issued photo ID to verify identity. Applications are subject to a requested minimum loan amount of $1,000. Current credit and other eligibility criteria apply.

Interest is charged starting at disbursement, during school and the separation/grace period, and until the loan is paid in full. With the Fixed and Deferred Repayment Options, the interest rate is higher than with the Interest Repayment Option and Unpaid Interest is added to the loan’s Current Principal at the end of the grace/separation period. Payments may be required during the grace/separation period depending on the repayment option selected. Variable rates may increase over the life of the loan. Advertised variable rates reflect the starting range of rates and may vary outside of that range over the life of the loan. Advertised APRs assume a $10,000 Graduate School Loan with a 2-year in-school period.

Loan amount cannot exceed the cost of attendance less financial aid received as certified by the school. Sallie Mae reserves the right to approve a lower loan amount than the school-certified amount. Miscellaneous personal expenses (such as a laptop) may be included in the cost of attendance for students enrolled at least half time.

To apply for this deferment, customers and an official from the internship, clerkship, fellowship, or residency program must complete and submit a deferment form to us for consideration. If approved, the loan will revert back to the same repayment option that applied during the in-school period for up to 12 months. Customers can apply for and receive a maximum of four 12-month deferment periods. Interest is charged during the deferment period and Unpaid Interest may be added to the Current Principal at the end of each deferment period, which will increase the Total Loan Cost.

Available for loans used to pay qualified higher education expenses at a degree-granting institution. Graduated Repayment Period (GRP) allows interest-only payments for 12 billing periods after principal and interest repayment begins. At the time of the GRP request, the loan must be current (not past due). Customers may request GRP during the six billing periods before and the 12 billing periods immediately after the loan first enters principal and interest repayment. GRP does not extend the loan term. It increases the Total Loan Cost and monthly payments after the GRP will be higher than they would have been without it.

This repayment example is based on a typical Graduate School Loan made to a first-year graduate borrower who chooses a fixed rate and the Fixed Repayment Option for a $10,000 loan, with two disbursements, and a 9.11% fixed APR. It works out to 27 payments of $25.00, 179 payments of $116.19 and one payment of $57.89, for a Total Loan Cost of $21,530.90.

Although we do not charge you a penalty or fee if you prepay your loan, any prepayment will be applied as provided in your promissory note: first to Unpaid Fees and costs, then to Unpaid Interest, and then to Current Principal.

Borrower or cosigner must enroll in auto debit through Sallie Mae to receive a 0.25 percentage point interest rate reduction benefit. This benefit applies only during active repayment for as long as the Current Amount Due or Designated Amount is successfully withdrawn from the authorized bank account each month and may be suspended during periods of forbearance or deferment, if available for the loan.

Only the borrower may apply for cosigner release. Borrowers who meet the age of majority in their state may apply for cosigner release by providing proof of graduation (or completion of certification program), income, and U.S. citizenship or permanent residency (if your status has changed since you applied). In the last 12 months, the borrower must be current on all Sallie Mae serviced loans (including no hardship forbearances or modified repayment programs) and have paid ahead or made 12 on-time principal and interest payments on each loan requested for release. When the cosigner release application is processed, the borrower must demonstrate the ability to assume full responsibility of the loan(s) individually, and pass a credit review that demonstrates a satisfactory credit history including but not limited to no: open bankruptcy, open foreclosure, student loan(s) in default, or 90-day delinquencies in the last 24 months. Requirements are subject to change. Shortest qualification period based on a May 31, 2019 review of national private loan programs offered by publicly-traded competitors.

Borrowers and cosigners with an available FICO® Score and a Sallie Mae-serviced loan with a current balance greater than $0, may receive their score quarterly after the first disbursement of their loan. The FICO® Score provided to you is the FICO® Score 8 based on TransUnion data FICO® Scores and associated educational content are provided solely for your own non-commercial personal review, use and benefit. This benefit may change or end in the future. FICO® is a registered trademark of the Fair Isaac Corporation in the United States and other countries.

Explore federal loans and compare to ensure you understand the terms and features. Graduate School Loans that have variable rates can go up over the life of the loan. Federal student loans are required by law to provide a range of flexible repayment options, including, but not limited to, income-based repayment and income-contingent repayment plans, and loan forgiveness and deferment benefits, which other student loans are not required to provide. Federal loans generally have origination fees, but are available to students regardless of income.

Federal student loan information was gathered in May 2019 from and a May 23, 2019 Electronic Announcement from Federal Student Aid, an office of the U.S. Department of Education.

Sallie Mae loans are made by Sallie Mae Bank or a lender partner.

My Books

My newest release

The historians can debate it, but there’s more than enough evidence to conclude that 1968 is one of the single-most chaotic, violent, and transformative years in the history of the United States. At the very least, it was the most transcendent 12-month period of the 20th century.

It was a year marked by the escalation of the Vietnam War; the rise and the roar of rebellion; the continuation of the nation’s seemingly never-ending division regarding race; the transfer of power in the White House from the fractured Democrats to the Richard Nixon-led Republicans; and the unspeakably tragic murders of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1968, it was like America was tethered to a burning fuse and you knew the detonation was coming, you just weren’t sure when.

Yet through it all, most Americans persevered, just like Americans always had. They fought through the difficult and downright scary times and continued on in their pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness, the very definition of the American dream. And for many, sports played an integral role in the quest for normalcy in a world seemingly gone mad, a veritable coping mechanism that helped provide an escape from the tensions and upheaval that permeated the country. America needed sports more than ever, and sports delivered brilliantly in its time of need.

Therein lies the very essence of Sal Maiorana’s historical novel, 1968 - Amid the crucible of war, revolt, and tragedy, sports helped soothe America’s psyche.

America needed its diversions in 1968, just as it had during two world wars, and just as it had during the Great Depression. In times of trouble, there have always been sporting events to help ease the American psyche. As George Will once wrote, “Sport enables us, for a few hours, to step out of the river of time and into a pastime.” And long before cable and satellite television existed, and only select sporting events were available on the standard 26-inch RCA or Motorola color consoles of the day, it was sports columnist Jack McDonald’s job to take Americans into the stadiums and the arenas and the locker rooms to tell the stories of the games, coaches and players in the slick pages of the nationally-renowned weekly magazine, SportsWorld.

This is the story of one fictional family, inserted into the real-life events that took place in 1968. Through Jack and his family, older readers will re-live - and younger readers will become aware of - why this was such a dramatic and significant year in United States history. But also, much like sports helped take our minds off the horrific aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy, this book will shine a light on the many magnificent athletic achievements that were somewhat lost amid the crucible of war, revolt, and tragedy that 1968 is rightly, but sadly, remembered for. Because as we have learned throughout history, even in the darkest of times, sports, and fandom, can provide a soothing bliss.

Renting a space part time - want to do nails mobile too???

I have been asked by a friend if I would like to rent a chair in her beauty salon 3 days a week. It'll only be a couple of hours a day and I am concerned that if she is advertising for me and introducing clients to me, if they cannot make it to have their nails on any of my set days in the salon, can I offer a mobile service and will my friend want a cut of my takings?
I'm really confused as I started out wanting to work for myself mobile and from home. I printed out price lists and leaflets etc and have done wedding fayres so I can offer a service to brides but haven't had any clients as yet.
But now I would really like to work in her salon as I think it will be more profitable and I will have more chance of getting clients in for bookings. But I want to do nails full time and I don't know whether I can do this. Will I have to say I have 2 self-employed businesses?
Please can someone give me an idea of my options and whether or not I can do both??
Many thanks!!!

Pmu Geek
Do you think she would consider taking a percentage until you get regular clients? this is what I hve been doing at a salon untill recently, 20% to the salon, home visits were not included, after all you are running your own business not working for her. hope this helps a wee bit xx

Supporter Stories

Hilton, Samaritans Volunteer

For volunteer Hilton Jones, its all about sharing the stories and seeing the smiles.

This is Hilton’s third year volunteering to support Samaritans Christmas Lunch in the Park and he says it’s the opportunity to connect with his local community that keeps him coming back every year.

“It’s such a joy to see the excitement and smiles on the people attending the lunch. I always go out of my way to chat to anyone sitting on their own. Everyone has a story to tell and I just love hearing those stories.”

Samaritans Christmas Lunches are being held in Newcastle, Singleton and Central Coast this year. Click here for more information:

Molly & Maggie

Young sisters, Molly and Maggie, surprised staff at Samaritans Toronto Emergency Relief Centre recently.

The two girls arrived with $100 worth of groceries that they had bought with pocket money they had been saving for the entire year.

The sisters haven’t made a donation of this kind before, and said they chose Samaritans “because they help people.”

“We wanted to donate food because it wouldn’t be nice to go without food, and food is one of the most important things we need,” the sisters said.

“We hope it is given to people so that they have enough food to eat,” they said.

220 volts Wet & Dry Vacuum

220 Volts Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaners

Of all the types of vacuum cleaners, 220 volts wet & dry vacuum cleaners perform some of the toughest jobs. For instance, if your basement is full of sawdust or you have a major spill in your kitchen, you better look for the appliance. The main difference between the 220-voltage cleaner and the conventional ones is that the former can only be used in countries with 220-240 volts electrical outlet. The appliances can be used in South American countries, Europe, Asia, or Australia.

With their innovative, compact design, the products are light and you can maneuver them easily as you work around the room. This cleaner is ideal for low-pile carpets, rugs, as well as smooth flooring. It is able to eliminate all accumulated dust and allergen from your surfaces leaving them perfectly clean, and the telescopic wand is a perfect solution for removing spider webs. If you live with longhair and furry pets, you can get a perfect solution to remove the leftover fur and hair from your carpets and rugs.

When buying your wet/dry vacuum cleaners, ensure you get the products from a trusted source. The market is so diverse that many users find it difficult to choose the right item. However, if you identify a credible online source for your products, you can be sure to get a quality wet/dry vacuum cleaner that can work to your expectations. Usually there are varied types, the smaller sizes, and the bigger ones. It is advisable to go for the smaller or medium sizes if you just need it for mild household use.

However, if you intend to put the appliance to heavy duty, you can go for a bigger size that can withstand rigorous cleaning in high-traffic areas. Overall, these types of cleaners are relatively basic and you can select according to your cleaning needs. Besides, they also have an added advantage over other models, as you can use them in small ships and boats with 220-240 volts electric outlet.

The confidence you can have in a cleaning device depends on its source. Ensure that you get your product from a dedicated producer of high quality and genuine home appliances, to make it a trusted source of your product. It is also advisable to ask for warranty on motor and casing so you can rest assured that you have a genuine product to cherish for years to come.

Sant Kirpal Singh Ji (1894 – 1974), a great Saint of the twentieth century needs no introduction
for the holy work He did for humanity throughout the world.

He taught the world over the virtues of forbearance, patience, forgiveness
and godliness with deep reverence.

His teaching centred between God and man by developing man and serving
and reminded the human beings of the relationship between the two practically.

He taught us the basic necessities of truth eternal as man to man, but more practically as Father to son.
Wherever He did so, He looked loveable, compassionate, and very kind.
We could feel His pristine and illustrious beauty in our heart.

We're protecting children's rights

From the Andes to the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador is a patchwork quilt of a country. Despite the country's oil wealth, most of Ecuador’s people live in poverty.

Our programme gives children a real chance to affect decisions that can give them a better education, protect them from harm and protect their rights.

We provide practical services and work with the government to bring about lasting change for children.

  • We work in the poorest cantons of Guayas, El Oro and Esmeraldas provinces, where up to 65% of the population lives in poverty.
  • A vibrant children’s movement is having a real voice in shaping decisions; we support 65 children’s groups.
  • Our priority in Ecuador is making sure that the poorest 10% of children get a better education and are protected from abuse.

What's holding children back?

Poverty, a history of discrimination against indigenous and afro-Ecuadorian people, illiteracy and growing violence, especially in the coastal provinces where we work, hold children like Cilennia back.

Ecuador is now also a major transit point for the drugs trade and people trafficking, and these are growing threats for young people. Ecuador’s oil wealth is not a guarantee of benefits for the poor.

Despite that, there's a vibrant children’s movement here that brings the idea of children’s rights alive. Through supporting children’s organisations, and working with municipal, provincial and national government, we're changing children’s role in society.

I Was A Bad Stepmom

I Was A Bad Stepmom

bad stepmom
Lisa5201 / Getty

I don’t think there’s a more complicated relationship in this world than that between a mother and her child’s stepmother. It goes against societal norms to raise and mold another woman’s child, and for that woman to let you. I didn’t genuinely understand the intricacies of that dynamic when I began dating my now husband and became a part-time maternal figure to his daughter, of whom he shared custody with his ex-wife.

His daughter, who was 5 at the time, saw me as a buddy; a friend to plan fun day trips and art projects. It all seemed simple enough, really. His parents accepted me while wanting to remain in touch with his ex for their granddaughter’s sake. I loved Chad and his daughter (like my own, I told everyone). After all, we were living together. I picked her up from preschool, cooked her dinner, and tucked her in three nights a week. Those were all “Mom” things, right?

It wasn’t until I became pregnant six months into the relationship that my motherly feelings would be tested. I now had a piece of myself and Chad growing inside of my body. She or he could hear the sound of my heartbeat and must have already known how loved they were.

Chad’s daughter began exhibiting signs of jealousy, some of which were downright startling, and it gravely impacted the quality life for all 3.5 of us in that household.

I can’t emphasize enough what an amazing young lady my stepdaughter has become. She’s kind, intelligent and will make friends with anyone, especially if they seem left out. She’s an “includer” and gets rave reviews during parent-teacher conferences, when teachers say they’d love to have 30 of her.

She never was a bad kid. She was a little girl who was undergoing an enormous amount of change. Too much for her little mind to process, and understandably so.

But as the jealousy and subsequent outbursts grew staggeringly worse at home, we knew something had to change. Shortly after celebrating our daughter’s first birthday, we ended up agreeing to a custody arrangement in which we’d see Chad’s daughter less, and she’d be with her mother more.

I’ll forever regret and be simultaneously thankful for that decision. I’m regretful because we lost 10 months with the little girl I’d helped raise — Chad’s daughter and our daughter’s half-sister. On the other hand, I’m thankful because, now, at the ages of 3 and almost 10, those girls have the most beautiful sisterly bond I could have ever imagined.

We are back to the original 50/50 custody arrangement, sharing his daughter, my stepdaughter, equally with his ex.

The point is, we as a mixed family unit needed to get here on our own terms.

I wasn’t ready at the beginning of all this to share group text chains with Chad’s ex. I wasn’t mature enough to understand that the best thing for everyone, most importantly my stepdaughter, was for us to come together as a village and raise her as a team.

I was young, unintentionally selfish, and scared.

We now have a very good relationship with my husband’s ex. We share pictures of the beautiful child we co-parent via text. We plan parties and outings together. My stepdaughter gets to enjoy both of her half-siblings at the same time: a spirited 3-year-old little girl who insists she’s going to marry the quiet and shy 3.5-year-old boy.

We share experiences and make memories together.

Seeing those photos posted on Facebook, I’m sure people think we were assholes for not being friends with his ex right from the start, for the kids’ sake, right? But it took time. It took experience.

Look no further than any children’s movie to see the vilified, “wicked” stepmother. Evil, hateful women bent on destroying the lives of their stepchildren.

During our struggles with Chad’s daughter and the subsequent lifestyle changes, I’m sure many people painted me as the bitch whose mission was to tear Chad’s family apart. I was the problem. The monster. The bad guy in this story. Everyone needs someone to blame, I guess. But we all could have handled things better. No one was blameless.

The truth is, my (original) fairytale ending as a little girl imagining becoming a mommy never included a split family, mothering someone else’s child. And frankly, I’m sure Chad’s ex never dreamed or hoped a perfect stranger would be mothering her daughter. That fairytale has changed; they are my happily ever after.

Still, Chad’s daughter has a mom, and it’s not me. I need to respect that.

Four years ago, I fell for a guy who started being a grown-up years before meeting me.

He had been with his ex for 12 years, six of which were spent married. I was in my late twenties, he in his late thirties (as was his ex), and I had a great deal of life left to live, lessons to learn, and growing up to do before I could be the person everyone needed me to be in that situation. I needed to settle into my new role without the judgment.

I was trying. Failing, but trying. I was a bad stepmom.

The nights spent screaming, crying, fighting with every fiber of our beings to keep our family together were physically and mentally exhausting.

The time apart when custody changed was hard, but unfortunately, the time together had become daunting too.

The bond I have with my stepdaughter now is one which can’t be rivaled.

I know the face she makes when something is on her mind, and she readily opens up to me about anything and everything. We’re best friends. We quote movies and have inside jokes. Our current favorite film (which we watch on loop) is Pitch Perfect 3. We fondly call each other “Vanilla Tart” and respond to things with “Thanks, Babe!” in the same tone and cadence as the characters. We take long walks together. We’re never not laughing.

I’m sure as she enters her pre-teen and teenager years, I’ll be in for many, “You’re not my mom!” moments, and she’ll be right.

The bottom line in this: I’m trying. Chad is trying. His ex is trying. And the result is a happy, loving, and social not-quite-10-year-old girl.

I’ll probably never forgive myself for the 10 month gap in which I failed her. My husband will tell me differently, but it’s a fact: I was a bad stepmom.

I emphasize the word “was” because I know how far I’ve come. I have two daughters. Both equally loved, but only one I can take biological credit for.

If you’re a parent who loves their child, stepchild, adopted or fostered child, good for you, and please, be gentle in understanding we’re all human.

Court came down heavily on petitions with divisive agenda and endeavour

Madras High Court: While condemning the motive of the petitioner for filing the present petition which seeks to raise divisive issues of mythological nature to create a jurisdiction of P.I.L, the Court dismissed the petition with exemplary cost of Rs.20,000.

In the present writ petition, the petitioner herein, a social worker and an editor of a local daily, had filed a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution for reducing the number of holidays declared by the Court Registrar for the Deepavali holidays. The counsel for petitioner argued that the Deepavali being a North-Indian festival, has been made popular in South-India by the migrant population. The Counsel also said that this culture is being thrust upon the State of Tamil Nadu because the last and current Chief Justice of the Court happened to be North-Indian. The Petitioner also questioned the reason for celebrating Deepavali and why Ravanaa’s effigies are burnt on that date, as he claims, this amounts to a vendetta against a section of the Dravidian people. He also claimed that India is a multicultural and heterogeneous nation, which should protect everybody’s right to worship birth, but not death. The holidays also make advocates jobless and affects the functioning of the Courts.

The bench headed by Sanjay Kishan Kaul, CJ., held that the draft of the calender is prepared by Registry and which is discussed with all the representatives of the Advocates Associations and the Moffussil Bar and thus it cannot be said to be forced on the people. Moreover, it has been said by advocates and their representatives that they need time for preparing themselves and the vacations provides them the time for doing so, and if it leaves them jobless, the same needs to be discussed by their representatives during the framing. The migrants have a constitutional right to work anywhere in the nation. The Court therefore, condemned such kind of petitions which are aimed at raising divisive issues of mythological nature on grounds of PIL jurisdiction for gaining publicity which in turn creates unrest among the people. V.Anbazhagan v. The Registrar General High Court of Madras,High Court, Chennai,2014 SCC OnLine Mad 9378, decided on 22.12.2014

SysOperation-Framework: Usage data per MenuItem

Imagine you have a function build using the SysOperation framework that can be called at different places in the system, and you want to make sure that these calls do not share the same usage data.

In such a case you could create two (or more) MenuItems and override the method lastValueDesignName() of the controller as follows. This will store separate usage data for each MenuItem.

protected IdentifierName lastValueDesignName()
    IdentifierName ret;

    ret = super();

    if (this.parmArgs() && this.parmArgs().menuItemName())
        ret = this.parmArgs().menuItemName();

    return ret;

By default AX would store the usage data with the name of the called method.

After the modification described above, two data records are stored in the usage data.

In my scenario I used two MenuItems called TutorialSysOperationServiceController and TutorialSysOperationServiceControllerNow.

These post applies to following version:
Dynamics AX 2012

These days, a person can't talk about football without bringing up questions about the health effects of hard hits. Evidence is mounting that concussions experienced by players could lead to changes in the brain, including cognitive impairment.

But what about the bodily impacts football players experience?

In a new study, researchers at the University of Michigan set out to answer that question. They monitored 33 NCAA Division I football players using a device custom-fitted into the players' shoulder pads that had both a GPS receiver and an accelerometer. They measured the intensity and number of impacts, along with their distribution over the players' bodies.  Then they sorted this data based on the players' positions.

The impacts were measured in G-force. One G is equal to the force of Earth gravity, so 5 G's is five times the force of gravity. According to NASA, 3 G's is the amount of force it takes to pin people to the walls of spinning rides often seen at carnivals. A race car braking and turning is under about 5 G's of force, said Dennis K. Lieu, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, in an email interview with Live Science. Lieu has spent about 20 years studying blunt trauma injury in sports; he was not involved in the new study. [5 Ways to Make Football Safer]

The researchers found the running backs in the study—the men generally tasked with carrying the ball—experienced more "severe" impacts (above 10 G's) than all other offensive positions, although not a statistically significant number more than quarterbacks, according to the findings published May 21 in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. But at the same time, the running backs recorded fewer "heavy" impacts (7.1 to 8 G's) than either wide receivers or offensive linemen.

The researchers said that the severe impacts that running backs sustain could be the result of being tackled by multiple players while running at a high speed, or receiving a direct, head-on tackle from an opponent who is running at a high speed.

The wide receivers in the study experienced the most "very light" and "light to moderate impacts," among the offensive positions. These impacts ranged from a force of 5 to 6.5 G's. Offensive linemen also experienced significantly more very light impacts than either running backs or quarterbacks.

Among the defensive positions, defensive tackles experienced more moderate to very heavy (6.6 to 10 G's) hits than any other defensive position. The players in this position also recorded more light to moderate (6.1 to 6.5 G's) impacts than all other defensive positions. [10 Things You Didn't Know About the Brain]

This wide range of the forces of the hits that defensive tackles take is likely due to their high amount of physical contact with several opposing players during each play, the researchers wrote in their findings.

Defensive ends engaged in more severe impacts than any other defensive position, but the difference was not significant, according to the study.

Defensive backs and linebackers were subject to the most very light impacts (5 to 6 G's).

The study categorized the hits from very light to severe, but these labels don't signal potential for injury, Lieu said.

"At this time, there are no conclusions that have been drawn about any long-term health risks that may result from repeated exposures to such accelerations," he said. He noted, however, that the authors cited a 2012 study, co-authored by one of the same authors who did the new research, which found that impacts exceeding 7 G's were associated with decreases in neuromuscular performance after rugby competitions.

The ability to measure these impacts that players sustain could help determine when athletes should take a break, Erik Swartz, professor of kinesiology at the University of New Hampshire, told Live Science.

Swartz, who studies head injuries in football, said that these impacts recorded in the new study were much lower than what researchers have seen in head impacts. NFL research from 2003 showed that concussions occurred from impacts with an average linear acceleration of around 100 G's,.

These impacts are so much greater because they involve a smaller mass (the head), rotating around a fulcrum (the neck), as opposed to the more massive bodily hits this new research recorded, Swartz said.

Both Lieu and Swartz agreed that the data from the new study are high quality and unique, and could lay a foundation for future research. It would be difficult, however, to associate specific injuries with these general body impacts.

"You can't even start to try and conclude a cause and effect—that just because there's a 10 G collision, that's what led to an ACL rupture," Swartz said. "There's so much more involved in it than that."

 In the paper, the authors suggested that position-specific data could lead to better monitoring and training for the different forces each player might experience. However, there needs to be more data collected and more players involved, they said.

NFI’s Dish on Fish recognized as a top blog for seafood lovers

Published on
April 11, 2018

The National Fisheries Institute’s Dish on Fish blog has topped media aggregator Feedspot’s list of the “Top 100 Seafood Blogs and Websites for Seafood Lovers,” a positive sign of the blog’s growing reach and resonance, according to NFI.

Dish on Fish, which garners an estimated 10,000 visits and 130,000 likes on Facebook each month, is written from the perspective of Rima Kleiner, a licensed dietitian and nutritionist, NFI said. The blog offers inspiration, education, tips, and how-tos for American consumers in an effort to encourage them to eat seafood at least twice a week, as is recommended in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Blog visitors hail from across the United States and represent a variety of cooking skill levels, seafood preferences, ages, and demographics, NFI explained. Dish on Fish’s Feedspot recognition goes to show the premium on education that NFI members consistently reinforce, said NFI Senior Vice President Judy Dashiell.

“NFI believes that this third-party endorsement from Feedspot is a good indicator that Dish on Fish messages are resonating,” Dashiell said in a news release. “Dish on Fish’s recognition as the number one seafood blog/website less than two years from its inception is a testament to NFI Members, because they have made seafood education a priority.”

Dish on Fish was launched in summer of 2016, and established a direct bridge between NFI and the U.S. consumer.

“Dish on Fish is a vehicle for NFI to communicate directly with U.S. consumers, food bloggers and health professionals, such as R.D.’s, about the importance of eating seafood at least twice a week,” Dashiell said when the blog was launched in August 2016. “We hope to inspire people who eat and prepare seafood to choose it more frequently, both at home and in restaurants. We’re focused on generating content that is conversation-worthy – like recipes and nutrition tips – while also participating in other online discussions about industry trends, topics and issues.”

Academic Life

It is no surprise that intellectual growth and development are at the heart of a Seattle University education. Challenging students to think critically and broadly will happen in all disciplines. We expect students to be stretched by the faculty and the curriculum. After all, they are here for nothing less!

Seattle University offers many types of academic support services and resources to guide and assist students as they progress through their university education. These services grow from our care for each student and our commitment to excellence in learning. It is our intention to challenge each student to stretch as far as possible and to support them as they strive to meet the challenges.

Adjusting to the academic environment can be of special concern to some students and of great worry to many parents. College coursework is more challenging, and it is not uncommon for grades to slip a bit. Students who did well in high school with very little work may find that they need to "really" study in order to do well. It can also take some time to learn how to balance academic and social life. If students are struggling, various academic support resources on campus can help them get the assistance they need.

The first of these resources, of course, is the faculty who are committed to teaching as well as to scholarship. One of the most important steps students can take for enriching their education at Seattle University is to get to know the professors of their courses. Faculty can help students with the course material and can refer them to campus resources for assistance when appropriate. Many of the faculty also serve as academic advisers. Advisers guide students in planning their program of studies, assist them in choosing classes and mentor them in the practices of their discipline. Specialized advisers are available through the Bellarmine Advising Center for students who have not declared a major or who are having academic difficulty.

Other support services are available as well, all at no cost to the student. The Loyola Learning Center offers peer tutors in many subjects, professional study skill consultations, workshops on academic success topics, and facilitated study groups supplemental to classes that students commonly find difficult. The Writing Center provides peer consultation on writing projects at any step in the process. The Mathematics, Computer Science and Accounting Departments all offer drop-in homework assistance for student in their classes.

The Family Educational Privacy Act (FERPA) is a law that protects students' academic records from any third party without written consent from the student. One exception to this law is what is considered to be directory information.

According to FERPA, directory information can be released to anyone without the consent of the student. Seattle University considers directory information to be; student name, campus address and phone (if any), SU email address, major field of study, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, grade level, enrollment status (i.e., full-time, part-time, undergraduate, graduate), name of the most recent previous educational institution attended, participation in official activities or sports, the weight and height of members of athletic teams, and photographs (but for University use only).

Select Breeders Southwest

SBSWA growing interest in frozen semen within the horse industry and the success of SBS in Maryland, prompted Paul Loomis and Whit Byers to form Select Breeders Southwest, Inc. in 1992. Recognizing the need to provide on-site freezing services to stallion owners and veterinary clinics, SBSW introduced the industry’s first fully equipped mobile semen freezing laboratory in 1994. Initially working primarily with Warmblood Sport Horses and Arabians, SBSW was well established and poised for growth when the AQHA ad APHA accepted frozen semen in the year 2000. With the launch of the SBS Affiliate Laboratory program in 2000 it became unnecessary for the SBSW mobile lab to travel throughout the entire United States and as a result a new, smaller mobile lab was introduced in 2002 with a second to follow in 2004. Paul Loomis took over full ownership of SBSW when Whit Byers retired in January 2010.

PaddocksSBSW is located on approximately 40 beautiful acres in Aubrey, Texas, “Horse Country USA.” Our facility includes a laboratory with the latest technology for semen analysis, a large frozen semen storage area, two barns, lush green pastures plus private turnouts for your stallions and mares. It is also home to our two mobile laboratories.

We are equipped to assist you with your stallion management needs whether they be training him for collection, breeding live cover, performing cooled semen analyses, processing cooled semen for shipment, freezing semen, standing your stallion for the breeding season, etc. Our facility is inspected by the USDA bi-annually and approved for the collection and processing of semen intended for export out of the United States.

Our caring staff will treat your mare as one of our own during her stay. She will not be just another number but will be treated as an individual and feel at home in one of our large pastures, her own private stall, or one of our foaling stalls. She will be well cared for whether she is getting ready to foal or being managed for breeding with fresh, cooled or frozen semen.

Tank roomOur frozen semen storage and distribution services are second to none. Our facility houses approximately 49,000 doses of frozen semen, for both domestic and export use, from hundreds of stallions. We are well versed in the art of exporting frozen semen and send approximately 60 shipments (~2500 doses) throughout the world each year. Due to our vast experience in exporting equine semen we are able to get shipments to their destinations in a timely manner and without unnecessary delays.

Utilizing our two mobile laboratories we are able to offer our semen services to farms and veterinary clinics. Each of our mobile labs has equipment for semen collection, processing, and analysis which includes a controlled rate cell freezer and a Hamilton-Thorne computer assisted semen analysis system. Our mobile labs are USDA approved. If your collection facility is approved by the USDA we are able to process semen for export to foreign countries. Although our main territory includes Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas we would like to discuss traveling to your facility, wherever it may be. Please call our office or email

Senate Committee Endorses Appalachian Ethane Storage Hub Proposal

The Appalachian region is home to plentiful deposits of natural gas that are rich in ethane, a product which is key in developing plastics, antifreeze and a whole host of other products. That is one of the biggest reasons why Pennsylvania is a national leader in the petrochemical industry, which supports 80,000 direct and indirect jobs, resulting in $24 billion in economic activity.

The Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee recently passed a resolution I sponsored urging Congress to take advantage of our unique position in the industry by developing an ethane storage hub in the Appalachian region. The development of a storage and distribution hub here could create as many as 100,000 additional jobs and $28 billion in new economic output.

More information about my resolution is available here.

I was pleased to join Representative Jim Christiana and members of the Pennsylvania Chemical Industry Council for a news conference in Harrisburg recently to call on Congress to create an ethane storage hub in the region. Video from this event, including my remarks, is available here.

Legislative Update: Senate Approves Redistricting Reform Measure

The redistricting process has been a consistent source of controversy over the past year, including a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that resulted in the creation of new Congressional boundaries for the 2018 elections. This week, I voted in favor of Senate Bill 22, legislation that would improve the redistricting process by establishing a commission made up of independent citizens to draw Congressional, legislative and judicial district maps, rather than allowing lawmakers to draw the boundaries. As a proposed constitutional amendment, statewide voters would ultimately decide if appeals court judges should be elected by district. The judicial district issue would be voted as a separate ballot question from the legislative redistricting constitutional amendment.

I spoke in support of the changes to redistricting in Pennsylvania on the Senate floor. Video is available here.

Other bills approved in the Senate this week include:

Senate Bill 655, which requires mandatory implementation of opioid prescribing guidelines developed by the Safe and Effective Prescribing Practices Task Force.

Senate Bill 780, which promotes the use of telemedicine as a way to overcome barriers to quality patient care.

Senate Bill 1129, which would expedite the voluntary termination of parental rights to speed up the legal adoption process.

House Bill 653, which provides for an accelerated foreclosure process for vacant and abandoned property.

Senate Bill 667, which gives redevelopment authorities the same powers currently allotted to land banks through the Pennsylvania Land Bank Act.

Senate Bill 776, which extends the Dyslexia and Early Literacy Intervention Pilot Program.

Senate Bill 851, which amends the Real Estate Tax Sale Law to clarify ownership of properties that are in the delinquent tax sale process.

House Bill 1641, which creates the Employment First Act to promote jobs for Pennsylvanians who have a disability.

I appreciated the chance to discuss legislative priorities, including school safety, with Pennsylvania State Education Association members Fred Berestecky and Eric Pringle.

REMINDER FOR TONIGHT: Town Hall Scheduled on Flooding Issues

Community residents are invited to join Rep. Jason Ortitay and me for a town hall meeting on Thursday, June 14, to address the flooding issues in the district. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in the McDonald Borough Building, located at 151 School Street in McDonald.

Please join us to share your questions and concerns!

Grants Awarded for Historic Preservation Projects

Two local historic preservation projects were recently awarded grants from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. The grants were awarded as part of the Keystone Historic Preservation Grant Program.

A $65,000 grant will aid in the restoration of W.A. Young & Sons Foundry and Machine Shop located in Rices Landing. The grant will help repair the structure’s windows, frames and siding, which have deteriorated to a critical stage.

A $9,163 award will help finance repairs to the LeMoyne Crematory, the first crematory in the Western Hemisphere. The project will include repairs to the roof and the doors to the crematory and furnace rooms.

More information on the program is available online at

My thanks goes out to everyone who participated in the inaugural Whiskey Boys Rampage event that highlighted several historic locations of significance during the Whiskey Rebellion.

State Funding Supports Adult Literacy and Education Grants

A pair of state grants from the state Department of Education will help promote literacy programs and new learning opportunities for adults in southwestern Pennsylvania. The funding will support initiatives to help adult learners acquire the education and skills necessary to obtain employment and economic self-sufficiency.

A grant of more than $1 million will serve residents of Washington and Greene counties at Intermediate Unit 1, and a grant of more than $2 million will benefit Literacy Pittsburgh, which serves residents of Beaver County.
