Data Rules the Road: Massachusetts Driving Habits Revealed in Data Challenge

Insights gained through data competition significant, will inform policy

BOSTON – The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), and the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MassTech) today announced the results of The 37Billion Mile Data Challenge, a competition that inspired the region’s data community to delve into a vast new set of anonymous vehicle-use data and to produce innovative visualizations, applications, and insights on the Commonwealth’s transportation system. The results will inform policy and help the Commonwealth build a more efficient and sustainable transportation system.

The winning entries ranged from “MassEMIT,” a tool that allows users to compare factors such as carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and fuel use by community, to a transportation infographic that informs the public on the true costs of driving. All of the entries can be viewed on the event website,

The release of this new data set – the Vehicle Census of Massachusetts – represents a first-in-the-nation release of open State Vehicle Registry data. The Vehicle Census was created by MAPC, in partnership with MassDOT and with support from the Barr Foundation. The event was also made possible through support of the MassDOT’s and MassTech’s work under Governor Patrick’s Massachusetts Big Data Initiative, a program launched in 2012.

“Every year transportation experts across the nation spend millions of dollars and countless hours modeling how much we drive,” said Marc Draisen, MAPC’s Executive Director. “Thanks to the 37 Billion Mile Data Challenge, Massachusetts now knows the answer to that question. And not only do we have real data to back it up – we have real knowledge gleaned from the data that will inform policy.”

 “We are committed at MassDOT to creating, sharing, and using actionable data as we plan for the future,” said MassDOT Secretary & CEO Richard A. Davey. “This challenge has produced findings that will help inform our efforts to promote and maintain a sustainable transportation system and to better understand our customers.”

“Events like the 37 Billion Mile Data Challenge show how open government data can engage the public, inform public policy, and generate insights or applications which drive social benefit, all of which are core goals of the Massachusetts Big Data Initiative,” said Pat Larkin, Director of the Innovation Institute at the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative. “Whether a phone app, an infographic, or a unique analysis, the insights gained will help people to think about how they get from Point A to Point B and the impact those choices have.”

The outcomes of the event will not only have significance for those involved with the Challenge, but also for researchers and policy makers across the United States. Data sets for the 37 Billion Mile Data Challenge will continue to be available at The Challenge builds upon previous efforts to analyze and increase access to state transportation data, including the launch of the MassDOT “Developers Pages” online data resource, MAPC’s Hubway Data Visualization Challenge, and the December 2013 “Visualizing Transportation” Hackathon run by MassDOT, MassTech, and hack/reduce.  These efforts showcase the growing potential of open government data and collaboration to drive innovative public benefits.

Other sponsors of the Challenge included Code for America: Boston Brigade, hack/reduce, and District Hall.

Project Descriptions of Award-Winning Entries

Best in Data Exploration Tool and Best in Show

Massachusetts Split-Screen Emissions Mapping and Information Tool (MassEMIT) by Arthur Fisher

Using data provided by the Massachusetts Vehicle Census and other sources, the entrants calculated a series of town-level metrics that deal with issues such as CO2 emissions, fuel use, vehicle types, and miles driven. This split-screen mapping interface tool allows users to compare patterns between any two of those metrics at a given time, potentially gaining insight into what factors may influence one another, and which communities might best be targeted for improving transportation efficiency and sustainability.

Best in Analysis (Explanatory Model)

Driving and Land Use: An Explanatory Model by Paul Schimek, Zia Sobhani and Kim Ducharme

The Vehicle Census shows clearly that people drive less in urban areas. Why? This team tested a variety of variables that might answer that question: demographics, income, density, land uses, street width, intersections, sidewalks, and transit availability. They found that comparing these one at a time against miles driven can be misleading. For example, considered by themselves, more sidewalks, buildings, and area property value are each associated with less driving. But once the team controlled for other factors, the apparent relationship disappeared. The team found that fewer roads, more intersections, and frequent transit do have an independent effect on reducing driving, but that by far the strongest predictors of driving are population density and owner-occupied housing.

Best in Policy

Exploring Transit and Driving Behavior in MA with Google Fusion Tables by Matthew Danish

Does the presence of good, abundant transit lead to a decline of miles driven in personal vehicles? In this state-wide look at transportation patterns, Matthew Danish explored this question using data sources from the contest and the various transit authorities, as well as tools such as Google Fusion Tables and Postgres/PostGIS.

Collaborative Data Award

MassVehicleExplorer by Team Cornish Rex (Alexis Chan, Alan Esenther, Kartik Khanna, Evan Patton, Allison Patton)

This team developed visualization tools (The Boston Car Data Explorer, Top 1000 CO2-equivalent emissions), analyzed data (Who impacts whom?), and prepared a SQL dataset, all complete with instructions. Notably, the team made each of these valuable tools available to other contestants to aid their explorations of the data.

Public Service Announcement (PSA) Award

Driving Facts Infographic by Melanie Morgan

This approachable, engaging infographic depicts some telling transportation data nuggets that were discovered in the Massachusetts Vehicle Census.

Dollars and Sense Award and People’s Choice Award

Let’s Reduce Gas Burden in Massachusetts by Maneesh Mahlawat

These entrants devised a novel way to answer the question of whether driving burdens everyone equally in Massachusetts. They combined driving and efficiency data from the 37 Billion Mile Challenge with income data to reveal which zip codes’ households spend the greatest percentage of their household income on fuel. The judges appreciated the submission’s focus on equity and believe this submission has the potential to inform policy issues.

Preparing for your appointment

By Mayo Clinic Staff

Make an appointment with your doctor if you have hand- or wrist-related pain and self-care measures — such as avoiding activities that trigger your pain — aren't helping. After an initial exam, your doctor may refer you to an orthopedist, rheumatologist, hand therapist or occupational therapist.

Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment.

What you can do

  • Write down key medical information, including other conditions you have and all medications and supplements you're taking.
  • Note hobbies and activities that may strain your hand or wrist, such as knitting, gardening, playing an instrument, participating in racket sports or performing repetitive workplace activities.
  • Note any recent injuries to your hand or wrist.
  • Write down questions to ask your doctor.

Below are some basic questions to ask a doctor who evaluates you for wrist- or hand-related symptoms.

  • What is the most likely cause of my symptoms?
  • Are there other possible causes?
  • Do I need tests to confirm the diagnosis?
  • What treatment do you recommend?
  • I have other health problems. How can I best manage these conditions together?
  • Will I need surgery?
  • How long will I need to avoid the activities that caused my condition?
  • What else can I do on my own to improve my condition?

Don't hesitate to ask other questions, as well.

What to expect from your doctor

Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, including:

  • What are your symptoms and when did they begin?
  • Have your symptoms been getting worse or staying the same?
  • What activities seem to trigger your symptoms?
  • Do you participate in any hobbies or sports that involve repetitive hand or wrist movements?
  • What tasks do you perform at work?
  • Have you recently had an injury that may have damaged your hand or wrist?
  • Does it help to avoid the activities that trigger your symptoms?
  • Have you tried at-home treatments, such as over-the-counter pain relievers? What, if anything, helps?

Why it's done

Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to treat a wide range of issues. It's often the preferred type of psychotherapy because it can quickly help you identify and cope with specific challenges. It generally requires fewer sessions than other types of therapy and is done in a structured way.

CBT is a useful tool to address emotional challenges. For example, it may help you:

  • Manage symptoms of mental illness
  • Prevent a relapse of mental illness symptoms
  • Treat a mental illness when medications aren't a good option
  • Learn techniques for coping with stressful life situations
  • Identify ways to manage emotions
  • Resolve relationship conflicts and learn better ways to communicate
  • Cope with grief or loss
  • Overcome emotional trauma related to abuse or violence
  • Cope with a medical illness
  • Manage chronic physical symptoms

Mental health disorders that may improve with CBT include:

  • Sleep disorders
  • Sexual disorders
  • Depression
  • Bipolar disorders
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Phobias
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Eating disorders
  • Substance use disorders
  • Schizophrenia
  • PTSD

In some cases, CBT is most effective when it's combined with other treatments, such as antidepressants or other medications.

What Happens When You Recycle and Sell Mobile Phone Sets?

If you need to sell mobile phone handsets, either because they have stopped working, or because you are due for an upgrade, you may be wondering what exactly happens to your devices once they reach a recycling centre.

Once you decide to recycle Blackberry phones or other types of mobile, and the recycling centre has received your handsets, each cell phone undergoes various tests. First, each phone’s unique International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number is compared with the Central Equipment Identity (CEIR) database to ensure it is not stolen or lost.

Thanks to mobile phone recycling, charities can donate phones to organisations in countries in the developing world, such as in Africa and Asia, where they are sold for a low price or given away.

When you recycle and sell Blackberry phone handsets, there are other benefits, too. Not only will you be putting extra cash in your pocket, but you can rest assured that your old telephone is not causing environmental damage in landfill, gathering dust or taking up valuable storage space in your home.

Use us at Mazuma and all you need do is register online for a freepost bag, post us your phone and look forward to being paid on the same day we receive it. It couldn’t be easier! We only need your handset and battery, and pay a fair price. We’ll also help you remove your data, and accept models from any network. Learn more online today.

Cops: Man spotted dropping jewelry admits to rash of burglaries

A man who has admitted to a string of robberies in Arlington Heights and surrounding areas was captured when officers spotted him dropping some stolen jewelry as he walked through a neighborhood, authorities said.

Jerry Dickens, 41, has been charged in only two thefts in Arlington Heights and one in nearby Palatine  Township, and has “admitted his involvement in a series of break-ins and identified numerous locations throughout Arlington Heights and unincorporated Palatine Township that had been his targets,” according to the Cook County sheriff’s office.

Police said the arrest solves a series of burglaries they began investigating in September.

Arlington Heights officers had been patrolling in the Terramere subdivision — south of Lake-Cook Road near Arlington Heights Road — because of a string of burglaries. They spotted Dickens in the 2200 block of Nichols Road on Thursday, and watched as he dropped something that later turned out to be jewelry.

Dickens was arrested and admitted to committing “multiple” residential burglaries in the area, police said.

Menswear takes on a cocooning cast: way easy and relaxed

Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

Milan, Italy

WITH the sorry state of the global economy and the escalating cost of gas, why even bother changing out of your pajamas at all? Why not punch out, cocoon in your geodesic dome, dig in your garden, go on a Bohemian safari, become a peripatetic nomad, neo-hippie or wandering gypsy and wave the wrinkled, white cotton flag of sartorial surrender?

That was the sentiment behind the spring men's collections that wrapped up here Tuesday. Most designers thumbed their noses at the traditional corporate dress of the pinstriped hedge fund managers and CEOs who got us into this mess in the first place. Clothes that weren't being cut into high-priced PJs were steamrolled, crumpled and dismantled from the inside out, subjected to the same pressure as the men wearing them. Based on the number of denuded necklines, not only will the necktie -- the symbolic yoke of the working stiff -- be extinct by next summer, but the shirt collar and jacket lapel are on their way out too.

As Ed Park writes in the opening lines of his new novel of office satire, "Personal Days": "We dress like we don't make much money, which is true for at least half of us."

Dolce & Gabbana were on top of the pajama game with double- and single-breasted pajama-print jackets with contrast piping, generously proportioned drawstring trousers that overflowed at the ankles and kimono-inspired bathrobes. A denim tuxedo paired with chunky mandals? A suit crafted out of micro-dot-patterned necktie fabric? On the surface they're fun twists on classic menswear; underneath they're the perfect embodiment of the new casual/luxe vibe.

Bottega Veneta came to the slumber party too, albeit with more subtlety. In doing so, creative director Tomas Maier sent out one of the most enjoyable and wearable collections of the week. Calling it the "single most versatile item in a man's wardrobe," Maier focused on the jacket, from light cotton striped styles akin to pajama tops, to more constructed, peak-shouldered, knit jersey blazers. Trousers were also a relaxed, sleepwear-inspired affair, generously cut in comfortable cottons.

At Burberry Prorsum, Christopher Bailey took a different approach to the wardrobe of economic protest. Instead of shuffling off to bed, he headed out to the garden. Under a clear roof that made the show venue look (and, unfortunately, feel) like a giant greenhouse, Bailey was inspired by his love for gardening as well as the late British filmmaker Derek Jarman, who famously built a garden near Britain's Dungeness nuclear power station.

If it sounds like a somber, up-the-establishment premise, it was. Bailey's "crumpled classics" -- drop-shouldered, wrinkle-washed cotton outerwear; scoop-necked knitwear; gathered trouser waists; puckered cardigans; and battered gardening hats -- were the sartorial equivalent of a defeated soul collapsing in on itself. On the bright side, it is hard to see how they could be anything but the ultimate in worn-in comfort.

Dude décolletage

Miuccia Prada, who pilfered the pajama drawer a year ago, revisited the theme only briefly with a few polos that resembled nightshirts, worn with boxers. Mostly, she focused on the future, one apparently in which men wear halter-top hoodies that expose them from rotator cuff to rotator cuff and down to the breast bone, forming a triangle of man cleavage.

Asked about the parade of dude décolletage, Prada said, with a twinkle in her eye, "Men have it, they just don't show it very often."

More traditional pieces included short-waisted jackets with sleeves rolled up, many with stiff, exaggerated creases and outlines of nonexistent ghost buttons that suggested the presence of intense pressure. Here, as at Dolce & Gabbana, the offerings included a full-denim suit. It may be a corporate silhouette, but it's cut from the working man's cloth, making it the ultimate commentary on high/low fashion. Several lads wore baggy boxers, voluminous tank tops and wide-necked shirts or trench coats, all in white, paired with black dress socks and shoes, looking as if they had been stripped of their workaday wardrobe and sent packing, or that they'd given up their suits in protest.

The protest from Versace was against not only the necktie but also the collar itself. Over the last few seasons, Donatella Versace and Alexandre Plokhov have been tweaking the traditional notion of the jacket lapel. This time, a pinstriped suit had lapels but no collar, while a black jacket had not one but two sets of lapels. This "formal attitude, informal mind-set" requires something dressy in the accessories arena, and Versace's answer to the tie is a narrow scarf of colored silk worn loosely knotted around a bare neck. It was California casual through a Versace filter, and it doesn't take much to imagine the pushed-up sleeves, loose collars and sandaled feet tucking into a table at the Ivy.

Early press reports buzzed with news that Donatella had dedicated her collection to Barack Obama, and one of the snappy, no-collar jackets could only improve on the ill-fitting collars that have left the junior senator looking more junior high school kid in his big brother's hand-me-downs than potential leader of the free world.

Alexander McQueen lives to thumb his nose at The Man, and he didn't disappoint, sending out a collection of body-hugging and thought-provoking garments that used flesh-tone color-blocking to create the illusion of bandaged, shirtless or bustier-wearing men.

Distinctive wisps of cigarette smoke were Jacquard woven into shirts and jackets to appear as if they were curling across the garments, an effect McQueen said took three months to perfect. "It's that whole smoke-and-mirrors feeling like when you go into a club and it's all misty and sexy," McQueen said, adding: "And that makes it a smoking jacket, doesn't it?"

Coroner was not told of death right away

Of The Morning Call

The Northampton County coroner testified Friday that he did not see a package containing live bullets in John Hirko Jr.'s house after an aborted police raid, raising continuing questions about how the package got there.

In questioning Coroner Zachary Lysek, lawyer John Karoly Jr. implied that someone had time to move evidence, including the package.

The open Styrofoam package, containing 11 bullets, was found in Hirko's living room. In photographs taken by investigators, the white package sits virtually undamaged amid a pile of charred and melted debris.

Karoly, representing Hirko's family, fiancee and landlord, may be trying to show that the bullets were moved to the room where Hirko was killed, to make Hirko seem as dangerous as possible because he had quick access to the ammunition.

Karoly also implied that police delayed notifying Lysek that he was needed at the scene, providing time for evidence to be manipulated. Lysek testified that he prefers to be called as soon as possible so he can examine potential crime scenes before anything, including the body, is disturbed.

Then-police Lt. Walter Diefenderfer notified Lysek about 45 minutes after Hirko died, according to Lysek. Lysek then took about 20 minutes to get there.

Defense lawyer Susan Engle asked Lysek if the delay affected his investigation. ''That's a determination I cannot make because I don't know what occurred before I arrived there,'' Lysek replied.

Karoly called Lysek to testify during the civil rights and wrongful death trial in federal court in Allentown. Police shot Hirko to death in 1997 as they tried to enter his South Side home to search it for drugs. The two sides disagree about whether he was armed and shot at police.

Lysek also testified that the two officers who fired shots at Hirko declined to give statements to him right after the shooting because they wanted to be represented by lawyers. Lysek said he never did talk to officers Joseph Riedy or Todd Repsher about the aborted raid because state police interviewed them later.

In reply to questions from Engle, Lysek acknowledged that he could have ordered an inquest  his own investigation  and subpoenaed the two officers. But he said he has never convened an inquest in his more-than 10 years as a coroner.

Lysek also told the jury that there is no physical evidence that Hirko was wearing a shirt when he was killed, consistent with the testimony of Hirko's fiancee, Kristin Fodi. But that testimony is inconsistent with Riedy's accounts, who has said that Hirko was wearing a shirt.

The testimony could be significant because Riedy, who was on the porch, claims that he could clearly see Hirko, who was in the living room. They were on either side of a window. Riedy testified that any window coverings were transparent while Fodi said they were opaque.

Lysek also said that just after the raid then-police Commissioner Eugene Learn told him that Riedy had fired two three-round bursts from his submachine at Hirko and Hirko had fired two shots from his handgun at police. But testimony during the trial has not supported that initial account.

Riedy fired two bursts, together totaling at least 16 shots, according to testimony. And the officers who allege that Hirko shot at police have testified that he fired just one shot.

Lysek determined the cause of death to be multiple gunshot wounds and the manner to be homicide, defined as a death caused by someone else. Lysek was not asked if he believes the homicide was justified. That determination is not part of his job responsibilities.

The trial resumes Wednesday with testimony from forensic pathologist John Shane.

Iraq war diverts focus from terrorism on Afghan border, 1/23/07

Despite President Bushs repeated warnings that al-Qaida wants to turn Iraq into a base from which to attack the United States, administration terrorism experts believe theres a graver and more immediate threat from Pakistans tribal areas. But the war in Iraq is constraining the presidents ability to respond. An intelligence assessment given to Congress, together with a new policy review calling for more troops and funding for civilian programs in Afghanistan and Pakistan, point to the Bush administrations growing dilemma: how to wage war in Iraq and Afghanistan at the same time.

You’re a Mean One,
Mr. Grinch
A CultureMap®
by Amy K. Hughes
Published on 12/25/13

“The term grinchy shall apply when Christmas spirit is in short supply”—so says The Book of Who, a fictional tome featured in the Jim Carrey vehicle How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000). Since the modern holiday’s popular reinvention in the 19th century, the commercialization and secularization surrounding Christmas have steadily risen. But grinches, scrooges and assorted devilish figures have haunted winter festivities since their ancient pagan beginnings.

Start reading >>

How the Grinch Stole Christmas!  (Dr. Seuss | children’s book | 1957)
to  Ebenezer Scrooge  (fictional character | A Christmas Carol)

Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, invented the Grinch—a floppy, furry green grouch who dwells in a hillside cave on the outskirts of cheery Whoville. The story of the merriment-loathing creature who seethes about impending Christmas celebrations was made into an animated musical television special in 1966, narrated by horror star Boris Karloff. Basso profundo Thurl Ravenscroft enumerates the character’s repugnant qualities in the song “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.”

Upon hearing the Whos joyfully singing even after he has stolen all their gifts, the Grinch realizes, “Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more.” Geisel’s holiday redemption tale follows the now familiar formula Charles Dickens established in his 1843 novella A Christmas Carol. Protagonist Ebenezer Scrooge’s heart is slower to thaw (for “no wind that blew was bitterer than he”), but ghosts of Christmases past, present and future bring him around. Dickens’s story has been memorably reenacted by Mister Magoo, the Muppets, the cast of Doctor Who, even Bill Murray. The 1951 film adaptation, starring Alastair Sim, and the 1970 movie musical Scrooge, with Albert Finney in the title role and Alec Guinness as Marley’s ghost, are among the most charming.

Ebenezer Scrooge  (fictional character | A Christmas Carol)
to  Black Friday

When told the poor would rather die than go to workhouses or debtors’ prisons, Ebenezer Scrooge rejoins, “If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.” (Scrooge echoes 19th-century economist Thomas Malthus’s ideas about solutions to overcrowding.) Charles Dickens’s misanthrope begrudgingly allows his underpaid clerk, Bob Cratchit, the day off for Christmas. Today’s Ebenezer Scrooges are the big-box retailers that employ the working poor at below-subsistence wages and traditionally launch their holiday shopping season the day after Thanksgiving. Philadelphia police originally dubbed it Black Friday for the chaos shoppers caused, but the name now signifies the changeover from red ink (deficit) to black (profit) in the ledgers of many shops. In 2013 Macy’s joined Walmart, Toys “R” Us and other retail giants in—as Bloomberg Businessweek put it—“breaking the Turkey Barrier,” i.e., opening on Thanksgiving evening. Sadly, this requires employees to abandon their own family traditions on the national day of thanks. Scrooge ultimately rejects miserliness and learns “how to keep Christmas well.” But American capitalism relies on the holiday’s commercialization and having staff available for “door-busting” sales—like one in 2008 that led to the trampling death of a Walmart employee.

Black Friday
to  Miracle on 34th Street  (George Seaton (dir.) | film | 1947)

A 1946 Macy’s print ad depicts a boy writing a “Dear Santa” letter and a girl holding a store flyer and declaring, “You believe in Santa Claus, but I believe in Macy’s.” The copy begins, “Women are so darned practical.… Instead of writing wistful letters to Santa Claus, they count on Macy’s to make their dreams come true.” It’s easy to imagine cynical little Susan Walker, of Miracle on 34th Street, as that girl, and her mother, Doris, the NYC Macy’s events director, as the ad’s author. These two dames are no starry-eyed believers.

The film opens with Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade; for nearly a century, such department-store-sponsored events have heralded Santa’s arrival in town and the start of the holiday shopping season the next day, Black Friday. The relationship between the commercial rush and the spirit of goodwill is well expressed by Mr. Macy in Miracle. “Macy’s will be known as the store with a heart…that puts public service ahead of profits. And consequently, of course, we’ll make more profits.” The religious right, declaring there is a “war” on Christmas and urging shops to use the name prominently in advertisements, also proudly upholds the Christian holiday’s commercialization.

Miracle on 34th Street  (George Seaton (dir.) | film | 1947)
to  Krampus  (European folkloric figure)

Christmas as we know it—tied to Santa Claus and evergreen trees and twinkly lights—is a secular celebration that arose from ancient pagan wintertime rites. Christians, including the Puritans, condemned the celebration of Christmas. It was even outlawed in Boston’s early years. The popularization of the holiday, with the focus on children, home and commerce, followed the publications of Clement Clarke Moore’s 1823 “A Visit From St. Nicholas” (a.k.a. “’Twas the Night Before Christmas”) and Charles Dickens’s Christmas Carol (1843).

Modern-day Santa Claus passes judgment on the minors of the world, categorizing them as either naughty or nice by spying on them day and night. But many pagan traditions included a demon such as the Krampus, a lewdly long-tongued satyr-like beast of Alpine folklore who singles out misbehaving tots for torture, sometimes even kidnapping them. He often accompanies Saint Nicholas, who rewards good children while the Krampus whips the bad with branches or chains. In Miracle on 34th Street the tables are turned: Santa is judged by a child (and his department store coworkers, the courts and the press) and punished by the film’s Krampus, Granville Sawyer, an irritable psychology expert who has him committed to an insane asylum.

Miracle on 34th Street  (George Seaton (dir.) | film | 1947)
to  It’s a Wonderful Life  (Frank Capra (dir.) | film | 1946)

A sweet waif, a miracle or two, and a memorable tagline fuel many plots about the triumph of Christmas spirit over grinchiness. A Christmas Carol ends with Tiny Tim’s appeal, “God bless Us, Every One!” and in Miracle on 34th Street, Edmund Gwenn’s enchanting Kris Kringle wins over bitter divorcée Doris Walker (Maureen O’Hara). Doris’s daughter, mini-grinch Susan (eight-year-old Natalie Wood), is a “progressive-school product indoctrinated against the whole idea of Santa Claus,” as The New Yorker wrote. The film’s credo, “Faith is believing in things even when common sense tells you not to,” emphasizes the power of positive thinking—and of accepting that Santa knows what’s best for those tarnished by a bad marriage or a reform-minded education.

In It’s a Wonderful Life, James Stewart, as George Bailey, becomes temporarily grinchy in response to Lionel Barrymore’s Dickensian slumlord, Mr. Potter, but experiences a Scrooge-like transformation when he submits to a guardian angel’s ministrations. Bailey returns from a tour of dismal future possibilities to find the present just dandy. In the end, he’s a beaming Bob Cratchit, hoisting his Tiny Tim–like daughter Zuzu, who, sick with a cold, proclaims, “Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.”

It’s a Wonderful Life  (Frank Capra (dir.) | film | 1946)
to  How the Grinch Stole Christmas!  (Dr. Seuss | children’s book | 1957)

We thank Charles Dickens for inventing the essential holiday word scrooge and Dr. Seuss for the equally necessary but quite different grinch. A scrooge is the person in power, a hate-filled miser who wishes the powerless ill. A grinch, conversely, is a crank, mostly harmless to everyone but him- or herself, whose wrathful disposition often comes from feeling victimized or left out. In A Christmas Carol, Scrooge’s impoverished clerk, Bob Cratchit, has every reason to be grinchy, though he never is. It’s a Wonderful Life employs both, in a seesaw act. Businessman Mr. Potter is a thorough scrooge; actor Lionel Barrymore had also played the Dickens character in radio broadcasts and was a natural for it. George Bailey is a grinch. Even as a young boy, he’s a crabby sort, and after a lifetime of shouldering burdens left by others—and seeing his brother, Harry, conquer the world—George goes on a binge of pique, screaming at his children and their teacher, running out on his wife and attempting suicide. But like Dr. Seuss’s green monster, with “his Grinch feet ice-cold in the snow,” George realizes that his life, perhaps, “means a little bit more.”

How the Grinch Stole Christmas!  (Dr. Seuss | children’s book | 1957)
to  Winter Warlock  (fictional character | Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town)

From 1964 to 1970, a tinsel age of holiday programming, five enduring specials premiered: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, A Charlie Brown Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, Frosty the Snowman and Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town. In the Peanuts special, featuring Vince Guaraldi’s appealingly jangly score, Lucy van Pelt pitches seasonal glitz (“Get the biggest aluminum tree you can find, Charlie Brown! Maybe painted pink”) and scroogian commerce (“Nickels, nickels, nickels! That beautiful sound of clinking nickels!”), but she’s more punk than villain. Corny characters, sentimental stories and treacly music define Rudolph and Santa Claus, both created in stop-motion animation. The latter’s Yule-hating brute, the Winter Warlock, keeps young Kris Kringle and his family of red-suited elves from delivering toys to deserving children. But the “strange hermit,” as postman narrator Fred Astaire calls him, is no evil Krampus (nor is Rudolph’s dentally compromised Abominable Snow Monster). All it takes is a toy and a song to turn the self-described “mean and despicable creature” into Santa’s helper. Of course, he loses his magical powers in the process. For many viewers, however, there’s no holiday fiend quite as rotten as Mr. Grinch, that “three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich, with arsenic sauce!”

nitisinone - oral, Orfadin

BRAND NAME(S): Orfadin

Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage

USES: Nitisinone is used to treat a certain inherited disorder (hereditary tyrosinemia type 1, also known as HT-1). HT-1 is usually discovered in infants and needs lifelong treatment. This condition is caused by a shortage of a certain natural substance that is needed to break down a nutrient (tyrosine) found in food. This effect causes a build-up of too much tyrosine and related substances in the liver. Nitisinone works by helping to prevent the formation and build-up of several toxic substances that cause damage to the liver, kidneys, and nervous system. This drug must be used along with a diet low in protein, tyrosine, and phenylalanine.

HOW TO USE: Take this medication by mouth on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before a meal, usually twice daily, or as directed by your doctor.For children who are unable to swallow capsules, the capsules may be opened and the contents mixed in a small amount of water, formula, or applesauce immediately before use. Make sure the child swallows the entire dose.The dosage is based on weight, medical condition, and response to treatment. The manufacturer recommends that patients should not take more than 2 milligrams per kilogram a day.Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day.It is very important that patients taking this medication follow a special diet low in protein, tyrosine, and phenylalanine. Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or dietician for more details. (See also Drug Interactions and Precautions sections.)Nitisinone can increase tyrosine levels and cause eye problems. Patients should have an eye test (slit-lamp examination) before using this medication so that later the doctor can see whether there have been changes. (See also Side Effects and Precautions sections.)

Reperfusion Injury Strategy Disappoints in STEMI

Novel mitochondrial-targeted agent didn't cut infarct size in phase II trial.

  • by
    Senior Staff Writer, MedPage Today

Action Points

  • Note that this study was published as an abstract and presented at a conference. These data and conclusions should be considered to be preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

A novel agent to tackle reperfusion injury with stenting for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) flopped in early-phase research.

The mitochondrial-targeted peptide Bendavia didn't significantly reduce infarct size, C. Michael Gibson, MD, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and colleagues found in the phase II EMBRACE STEMI trial.

The primary endpoint of serum creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) over the first 72 hours came out similar (5,570 versus 5,785 ng.h/mL).

So did early infarct expansion by CK-MB at 6 hours and cardiac MRI-measured infarct volume at days four and 30 as well as STEMI resolution, post-stenting angiographic measures, and outcomes at 30 days and 6 months, according to results presented at the American College of Cardiology annual meeting in San Diego.

However, there were some suggestive secondary and exploratory findings that mean the story isn't finished on this agent, suggested Eric Peterson, MD, MPH, executive director of the Duke Clinical Research Institute, and study discussant at an ACC press conference.

"Stay tuned," Peterson said.

The new-onset heart failure rate in the first 24 hours after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was 13.8% with Bendavia versus 25% on placebo, albeit not a significant difference.

Kidney injury appeared reduced as well in an exploratory analysis, with significantly less change in creatinine over the first 12 hours (P=0.03) and lower area under the curve for creatinine over the first 48 hours after adjusting for baseline level and dye load (P=0.04).

Also, nonprespecified analysis by hypertension status due to an imbalance in the 118-patient trial (38% with hypertension on Bendavia versus 60% in the placebo group, P=0.02) showed that those with hypertension had no advantage for the primary endpoint with Bendavia, but with it they did have:

  • Smaller day four infarct volume (P=0.03)
  • Better ST-segment resolution at 24 hours (P=0.05)
  • Possible lower volume of edema at that point (P=0.053)

Gibson cautioned that the trial was "grossly underpowered," so neutral results weren't surprising.

EMBRACE STEMI included patients with a first anterior STEMI with little or no blood flow to the proximal or mid-left anterior descending coronary artery, no shock, and anticipated PCI within 4 hours.

They were randomized to blinded treatment with IV Bendavia (0.05 mg/kg/hour) or a volume-matched placebo infusion given 15 minutes before and 60 minutes after PCI.

Treatment-emergent adverse events were similar between groups.

Reperfusion injury has been a tough nut to crack, Gibson noted. Few "bright spots" have emerged from the dozens of studies trying to prevent it, he told reporters at a press conference for the late-breaking clinical trial session.

As blood flows back into ischemic heart tissue after revascularization, injury usually sets in from inflammatory processes, he explained.

Bendavia cuts inflammatory reactive oxygen species generation and works on the electron transport chain to "stabilize the mitochondria," based on animal models.

"It has been very difficult in our field to find agents that would translate from the animal models, which have been able to show effects on reperfusion injury, and those that would actually work in humans," Peterson said.

Bendavia is still in development in ongoing studies for systolic heart failure and in percutaneous transluminal renal artery angioplasty.

Other reperfusion injury strategies are still in development, such as cyclosporine in the phase II CYCLE study and phase III CIRCUS trial.

The trial was sponsored by Stealth BioTherapeutics.

Gibson disclosed relevant relationships with Bayer, BCRI, CardioVascular Research Foundation, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Johnson and Johnson, Ortho McNeil, St. Jude Medical, The Medicines Company, WebMD, UpToDate in Cardiovascular Medicine, Angel Medical, CSL Behring, Ikaria, Portola Pharmaceuticals, and Stealth Peptides.

#1Butalbiltol, which is a actual barbituate is to help you kinda relieve your nervousness and stress(kinda chill-out a little), since it's mainly those two culprits that give you those damn tension headaches and migraines so freakin' bad!! I guess the medical community THOUGHT, anyway, that it was gonna work like a charm, but my two biggest complaints about Butalbitol is : (1) If you take the Rx as it's prescribed/labeled, the butalbitol part of the pill DOES seem to relieve the stabbing, stress-related pains and throbbing in my head I get in my head, shoulders, and behind my eyes. AT FIRST THEY DO, ANYWAY!! But I swear, it's not one and a 1/2 weeks later...TOPS... that taking only one doesn't even touch it anymore and I start "doubling up"---- which, of course--- makes me run out of my Rx before I'm allowed to refill it again. So that really does suck. A lot! 'Cause with MY luck, THAT'S exactly when I'll get teh worst head, neck, and back muscle pulls, aches, and spasms during that freakin' 30 days!! But, like I said.... that's JUST my damn luck! Now.... the ASA (which I'm told is Aspirin) I'm sure does its part in the scheme of things. But I'm not really sure if I can tell SPECIFICALLY what role it plays in relieving my pain and muscle knots. And the THIRD thing in this concoction is caffeine. Yep.... just like in a coke or cup of coffee. But I think in much higher doses. And I've been told by doctors that the reason caffeine is added in this particular medicine (and for this specific tension headache pain and migraine problem) is because (1) caffeine is a stimulant, of course, and (2) stimulants, caffeine, or ANY kinda of "speed" causes every one of your blood vessels to constrict and get WAY smaller, which doctors say helps prevent the mega-pumping of large amounts of blood with each heartbeat, therefore preventing that damn THROBBING in your head of your blood through your veins! Makes perfect sense to me, but I can't swear it's actually the medical reason for caffeine being in there. But at least three different doctors told me it was so----- or that's what I HEARD them say, anyway. Who knows! And, lastly of course, there's the God-Sent added ingredient of Codeine to, at least, take the edge off of all the awful, horrible, sometimes-unbearable pain that I and so, so many OTHER people I know of suffer with every single day from delibitating stress and tension headaches, bad-a** migraines, and terrible back and neck injuries! I feel for every ONE of y'all!! I know how you all feel!!! Have a wonderful Holiday Season, and just remember that, when everyone's gettin' on your case (and nerves) and saying stuff like "Awww... a headache CAN'T be THAT bad! Just take a tylenol and you'll be JUST fine.", you know I got your back! (And your neck, and your head.... lol!) OK then.... sorry I wrote so dang long, but I was trying to answer the question posed here while trying to make y'all laugh here and there. Or at least smile. I know how hard even THAT is to do on some days. But I sure hope it worked today. Take care, everybody! xo Christy :)

Oh wow Christy, everything you said in your hilarious post applies to me. First, thanks for the laugh and laugh I did. Your a very funny lady. Years ago I have been diagnosed with chronic head aches and migraines. They always started in my shoulders and working up and up. At times the pain becomes unbearably. Been taking But/asa/caf/cod/ 30mg for years. When the pills don't work anymore, I have to get a pain shot. My insurance comp. will not pay for them any more. Was told the don't pay for chronic migraines any longer. So my doctor put me on nerve pain pills called Gabapentin 300mg. Had to take one in the morning and one at night. The worked great for about 6 month. Now, after 2 hours I get my throbbing head ache back which eventually will turn into a migraine. My doctor upped the pills to two in the morning and two at night. They just don't work as good as the codeine pills did. I'm like you, need to take at least two of the codeine pills before I get some relieve. I can't afford to buy the codeine pills myself. I gladly would give up the Gabapentin for the codeine pills. Going to see my doctor again June 11-12. Don't have a clue to what he will suggest to me this time around. One thing is forsure, I will not be able to take more Gabapentin. Thanks for listening Christy. Hope you have at least one head ache free day.

feeling dizzy, shaky, anxious, or agitated,
heartburn, mild nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, constipation, diarrhea, sleep problems (insomnia),
mood changes, ringing in your ears, blurred vision, sweating, urinating more than usual, or dry mouth.

If you experience any of these severe side effects, stop using this medication and call your doctor at once:

shallow breathing, slow heart rate, muscle twitching;
fast or pounding heart rate, confusion, unusual thoughts or behavior, bloody or tarry stools, coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds, problems with urination, and more.

I hope this helps!

Paying Attention To Our Bodies

By Cherie Burbach

Posted On: February 3, 2005
Last Update: February 4, 2005

Before I became diabetic, I was a self-confessed workaholic. I was single and quite honestly, didn’t have much else going on in my life. I was always an eager worker and I was always trying to prove myself and move ahead. I often worked long hours, and as a result didn’t eat right or exercise all the time.

Cherie Burbach

Cherie Burbach

Now, I’ve been diabetic for nearly 15 years, since my early 20s. When I first got the disease, I was determined not to let it change my life. In fact, I’d work twice as hard to prove that I didn’t need extra attention or rest.

Then suddenly I was coming home from work one night and fell on a patch of ice by my house. I heard my ankle snap and immediately knew it was broken. As I looked down at my foot I saw it was literally facing the wrong way. I was in excruciating pain and also worried that I would lose my foot. Thankfully, I had emergency surgery and with some pins and many months on crutches, I was able to walk again.

Instead of using this time to take it a bit easier, I worked twice as hard. I went back to work the next week and hobbled and hopped up flights of stairs (since I worked in an office without an elevator!) and came home exhausted. My blood sugars fluctuated and I often felt sick.

Perhaps due to my overzealousness at getting back to work, a pin in my ankle (which is supposed to stay put a lifetime) started to come loose. I had to have another surgery just six months after the first one. Of course, I remained exhausted but went right back to work, often 60-plus hours a week.

About a year later I finally started to get a personal life. I got a new job and instead of working a zillion hours a week I worked a more reasonable schedule. But then I started going to school full time as well as working full time. I was often tired and my blood sugars started to fall out of control, but I chalked it up to just having a lot on my plate. I figured that when things slowed down a bit my blood sugars would come back in control too.

I was sick often. I’d developed strep throat, had colds, the flu, and walking pneumonia. In the next six months I also had two more surgeries. First, to remove a gallbladder and then for a cyst on my ovary. In both cases I had aches and pains that I ignored because I didn't want to appear weak or whiney. The cyst on my ovary was due to endometriosis, and for further treatment I went through a forced menopause for nine months.

Suddenly, my body started arguing with me. My typical mind over matter approach to life suddenly didn’t work. I was exhausted. Part of it could be explained with my blood sugars, and after I went to an endocrinologist we developed a new diabetes régime that worked out well. Still, I felt awful most of the time and tried to “tough it out.” This time, however, my body would have none of it.

After many months of feeling as if I could collapse each and every day, I had to face facts that this was something I couldn’t just throw off. My doctor felt that my body was just in need of some rest, that the stress it had endured was wreaking havoc and I needed to lighten the load. I went part-time at work, coming home to rest in the afternoons. Eventually, even this was not enough and I needed to take some time off. I used the time to get back on track with rest, diet, and exercise.

The most frustrating part in all of this was simply admitting that I could not “do it all.” With all the time I devoted to work or school I rarely devoted time to taking care of myself. Admitting I couldn’t work a zillion hours a week anymore made me feel defeated.

Thankfully, my husband, family, and friends were very supportive. They helped me realize that there is no shame in having to re-examine priorities and if need be, focus on yourself. We can’t just push ourselves and ignore the signs of overwork when our bodies rebel. I’ve discovered that I never did have to prove anything by trying to work until I dropped.

In the end, I’ve realized that all of us sometimes, regardless if we have diabetes or not, need to cut back and pay attention to our bodies.

HAYWARD — A 59-year-old Hayward man was sentenced to 15 years in prison Thursday for repeatedly molesting a teen he hired to be a “houseboy.”

Christopher Purcell was sentenced at the Hayward Hall of Justice roughly two months after a jury found him guilty of 22 counts of oral copulation with a person under 18 and five counts of sodomy of a person under 18. He faced up to 19 years in prison.

In May 2013, Purcell posted an advertisement on Craigslist looking for what he called a “houseboy.” The ad purportedly offered room and board in exchange for cooking and cleaning and said that “play would be expected,” prosecutors said during the trial.

A 16-year-old boy — who along with his mother — had been homeless on and off for nine years answered the listing, and the teen and Purcell met in Fremont and went to the man’s Hayward home. At the home, Purcell molested the 16-year-old, according to trial testimony.

Purcell then agreed the boy could live with him as his “houseboy,” prosecutors said. The boy wanted his mother to move in as well but knew that she wouldn’t approve of an arrangement for sexual favors, said Teresa Drenick, spokeswoman for the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office.

Purcell created a new, fake advertisement showing a room for rent. When the teen showed his mother, she agreed to let them both live there, Drenick said.

Purcell had sex regularly with the boy until Aug. 4, 2013, when Purcell and the boy argued over Purcell’s belief that the boy wasn’t engaging in enough sexual activity to please the older man, trial testimony showed.

The boy’s mother overheard the argument and learned the nature of the living arrangement, Drenick said. The mother contacted police, and Purcell was arrested soon after.

Strong Story | Bri Crumbley

Strong Story | Bri Crumbley

As a student at Meredith, Bri Crumbley, ’16, found her career path through a combination of her academic and extracurricular experiences.

Bri, who majored in sociology and religious and ethical studies, has been active at a national level in the Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC).

Associate Professor of Religious and Ethical Studies Shannon Grimes nominated Bri to attend the Interfaith Leadership Institute, an IFYC program. It was in Grimes’ class that she first encountered the concept of interfaith work.

“I remember sitting in [Dr. Grimes’] office and realizing the things I was reading in a book by IFYC Founder Eboo Patel were things I’d been thinking all along. Though I’d never heard the term interfaith, it just made sense to me.”

After attending the IFYC institute, Bri was inspired to transform Meredith’s Interfaith Council into Better Together, a campus organization that encourages interfaith cooperation.

“Better Together is a student group that focuses on coming together not necessarily to talk about religion but on the basis of our difference in background and worldview. We come together for the purpose of sharing experiences and talking about ways we can make our campus more inclusive.”

Through Better Together, Bri and a small team of student leaders have brought IFYC’s philosophy to life at Meredith. She continued to be involved with IFYC as one of only seven students nationwide chosen to be an IFYC National Youth Coach. After graduation, Bri will continue her interfaith work through her new job with IFYC, where she will serve as a student leadership associate.

“What is really special about what IFYC has figured out, is that it’s not about agreeing, it is about learning to disagree better. I think that should be what college is – you are exposing yourself to different ways of thinking, to new worldviews, to different ideas.”

Bri also explored different ideas through undergraduate research, presenting at Celebrating Student Achievement Day three of her four years at Meredith.  She credits Meredith faculty and staff for creating a supportive environment that allows students to achieve.

“When I look at how much I've done, it was the support of faculty, staff, and other students that allowed me to study in two different departments, to work, to do research, to lead multiple organizations, and to travel for conferences. I've been given so much opportunity that I know I wouldn't have had elsewhere.”

    Dec 19, 2011
    The producers of Work of Art have managed to take something that is never a big draw (excuse the unintentional cheesy pun), art, and have made it into something so enlightening and, yes, exciting that it's positively magical.
  2. Reviewed by: Ken Tucker

    Work of Art remains TV's most enjoyable high/low, art/TV example of...cultural hybridity!

    Like "Project Runway," there's creativity involved in this competition. And the fact that it's a competition, and therefore orchestrated and produced by necessity, makes it seem less fake-real.
  4. Reviewed by: Matt Roush
    Oct 12, 2011
    Work of Art itself manages to elevate this often schlocky genre into an entertaining celebration of the process of creation, with some startling and visionary (and occasionally disturbing) pieces produced under intense pressure.

Wabtec acquires aftermarket parts biz from GE

Posted on June 30, 2011

Wabtec Corp. has acquired a transit aftermarket parts business from GE Transportation. With annual sales of about $15 million, the business provides parts for propulsion and control systems for the passenger transit car aftermarket in North America. Wabtec expects the transaction to be accretive in the first year.

“This acquisition expands our transit aftermarket and service capabilities, with critical components related to propulsion and electronic controls,” said Albert J. Neupaver, Wabtec’s president/CEO. “Nearly 5,000 transit cars in North America contain these GE components, giving Wabtec the opportunity to expand our content on a substantial installed base of rolling stock as transit agencies overhaul and maintain their equipment.”

The product lines include AC and DC traction motors and related components; and electronic control systems, including contactors and relays. These capabilities will become part of Wabtec Global Services, which operates a network of eight service centers in North America.
