The Sentry February 5, 2015 Page 1 February 2015 NEWS Volume XXI Number 6 www.flsentry.com Florida Democrats review dismal year Florida Democrats are now trying to come up with a new game plan after they had a bad election year. Party leaders met Saturday to discuss the 2014 election and now are trying to find some positives out of a year that didn’t have many. Party Chairwoman Allison Tant noted that Democrats turned out more voters than they did four years earlier and set fundraising records. But the party and gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist were outspent by an enormous amount. It also didn’t help that President Barack Obama’s approval ratings were dismal. Tant said the party is still analyzing election data to help prepare for the 2016 presidential election and the 2018 election, when there will be open seats for governor and all three Cabinet positions. Hearing set for couple charged in daughter’s death A court hearing for a Miami couple accused of beating and killing their adopted daughter has been rescheduled for next month. Jorge and Carmen Barahona pleaded not guilty to murder charges after their daughter’s body was found partially decomposed in the back of her father’s truck along I-95 in West Palm Beach in 2011. Her brother survived after being doused with a toxic chemical. Friday’s hearing was postponed until Feb. 19. Several trial dates have been pushed back. Jorge Barahona also faces attempted murder charges in West Palm Beach. A judge denied his request to move that trial to Miami. Meanwhile, the state agreed to a $5 million settlement with the boy. He received $1.25 million, but the rest was to come from the Legislature. Prosecutor: No plans to eye complaint A Tallahassee prosecutor said he will not investigate whether Florida Governor Rick Scott along with cabinet members violated the state’s law on open meetings. A St. Petersburg attorney filed a complaint with State Attorney Willie Meggs on Wednesday. He asked Meggs to look at whether or not there was anything wrong in the ouster of Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Gerald Bailey. Meggs said Thursday that he won’t investigate because Weidner based his complaint on media coverage of the case and not personal knowledge. Weidner asked Meggs to look into whether Scott and Cabinet officials reached a decision in secret to force out Bailey. Bailey has said he was told that the governor and Cabinet officials agreed he should step down.

Te r r a n c e CunninghamJones was arrested Thursday at the Plantation Inn. T h a t ’ s where, authorities said, Jones paid 14 Jones and 15-year old prostitutes to have sex with him. It is unclear how they met up but officers in the area said they encountered the group and arrested Jones. Jones is charged with two counts of procuring prostitution from minors under 18-years of age. His bond is set at $15,000.

Father gets 9 years after accused of beating 4-month-old baby Javon to death Yosi Mahlab said he meant to discipline his son, not to kill him Four-month-old Javon died after his dad hit him so hard that he fractured his skull and caused bleeding in the brain, police said. Yosi Mahlab, 33, plead guilty to manslaughter Wednesday for a Jan. 21, 2012 crime at his North Miami apartment that horrified South Florida moms. “I didn’t beat my child,” Mahlab later said in court. “I smacked my child.” He had been charged with first degree murder, after Javon died in the hospital about two weeks later. Attorneys agreed to a lesser charge and Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Ellen. Sue Venzer sentenced Mahlab to nine years in prison Wednesday. After Mahlab hit the baby twice, he slipped off his lap and hit a Yosi Mahlab nightstand, he later said. Doctors at Jackson Memorial Hospital said the baby was brain dead after the beating. “After the child stopped breathing, he did not call 911 for about 30 minutes,” a prosecutor said in court. “That delay in time, your honor, caused a lot of brain damage to this child.” Mahlab was charged Jan. 27, 2012 with aggravated child abuse causing great bodily harm, two counts of child neglect and manslaughter, records show. After the baby’s mother was ready to let him go and doctors took him off life support, prosecutors changed the charge to first degree murder Feb. 10, 2012. Mahlab’s defense attorneys argued the killing was unintentional. His intent was to discipline Javon, Mahlab said, not to kill him. Javon would have turned two-years-old last week. TO SUBSCRIBE: A judge sentenced an attorney to 18 months for his role in a $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme run by disbarred South Florida lawyer Scott Rothstein. A West Palm Beach federal judge imposed the sentence Friday on 53-year-old David Boden, who previously pleaded guilty to a wire fraud conspiracy charge. Boden admitted helping Rothstein sell fake legal settlements to investors, including one sale in which investors lost about $2.4 million. Boden, who is cooperating with investigators, is scheduled to report to prison July 27. More than two dozen people have been charged in the Rothstein scam, which collapsed in 2009. Rothstein himself is serving a 50-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to several charges. His former Fort Lauderdale law firm was dissolved.

Serving Broward County, Florida BSO: Investigation leads to arrest of juvenile gang leader A six-month investigation into home burglaries in Broward County has led to the arrest of the suspected ringleader. On Wednesday night, 17-year-old Wisdom Williams was arrested in Hallandale Beach on outstanding warrants for burglary, aggravated assault and resistance without violence. Williams is in juvenile detention but prosecutors plan to charge him as an adult. BSO Sheriff Scott Israel credits the newly formed Burglary Apprehension Team (BAT) with apprehending Williams and nine others in the last sixth months. Gang members were known to kick in the front doors of residences and steal jewelry, electronics, personal information and anything else of value. BAT detectives began conducting surveillance and arrested three suspects last August but through their surveillance realized the enterprise went far beyond those three. It’s believed there are 100 members of the gang and that they are responsible for 100 burglaries. “They’re a group of kids, young adults breaking into houses stealing from us while we’re at work and Wisdom Williams school,” said BSO Lt. Steve Feeley. According to Sgt. Valerie Devlin, the gang would target homes where the doors swing inward making kicking in the doors easier. “They will drive around, do surveillance, knock on your door to see if anyone is home. Sometimes they will even park in your driveway,” said Devlin. The sheriff said BAT has cut down home burglaries in Broward thirty percent since it was formed. “Broward without question is a safer place today with the arrest of Wisdom and many of his gang members,” said Israel. Big jump seen in state's Florida lawmaker wants January consumer confidence to ban ‘Palcohol’ Consumer sentiment among Floridians rose sharply to 93.3 in January, almost 6 points higher than December’s reading, according to a new University of Florida study. However, much of that increase occurred because of recent changes in how UF economists collect survey data, said Chris McCarty, director of UF’s Survey Research Center in the Bureau of Economic and Business Research. UF researchers have used landline telephones to contact survey respondents since the survey began in 1985. “During those years, we minimized the changes to our methodology to maintain an index that reflects changes in consumer attitudes rather than changes in method,” McCarty said. Today, however, only 53 percent of American households still have a landline, while 89 percent now own cell phones, according to a recent Center for Disease Control and Prevention report. To keep up with this shift, many survey organizations have switched to a cell-phone-only policy to contact respondents. Among them is the University of Michigan, which measures consumer sentiment nationally. It made the change this month. A move to cell phones means “the sample of respondents more closely matches the demographics of the state,” McCarty said. “In addition, we weight the results of our cell phone survey by county, age, sex and minority status, so that the results match the distribution of these same variables in the state.” The overall effect, he said, is an increase in consumer sentiment, as younger respondents are more represented. That rise occurred in all five indexes used in UF’s January survey. Respondents’ overall perception that their personal finances are better now than a year ago was 78.5, while their expectations of enjoying better personal finances a year from now was 100.7. Their confidence in U.S. economic conditions over the next year registered 95.5, while their trust in its performance over the next five years was 92.1. Survey takers’ perception that now is a good time to buy major household items was 99.5. The bureau made other changes in how it reports consumer confidence. “To match the University of Michigan national release, we will now post our results the last Friday of the month rather than the last Tuesday, which the Conference Board – an independent, business-member and research association – uses for its consumer confidence release,” McCarty said. “We are also reporting the first decimal rather than rounding the result up or down.” UF economists will also now break the index down by households making more or less than $50,000 a year rather than using the previous figure of $30,000. The revised number more nearly matches the median income for Florida households, McCarty said. Methodology changes only partly explain the dramatic jump in confidence. “Overall the economy has improved for most consumers and lifted consumer sentiment,” McCarty said. Retail sales for the holiday season, for instance, rose 4.7 percent from 2013. Job gains and a declining labor force caused Florida’s unemployment rate to dip to 5.6 percent in December, matching the U.S. unemployment figure. The median price for an existing single family home rose to $185,000 in December after a two month decline, while interest rates remain at historically low levels. The stock market is at near record highs. Gas prices, which plummeted in January, now average just over $2 a gallon and provide a big windfall for consumers. “The last time gas prices were this low was at the end of the Great Recession in 2009 when demand for gas sank,” McCarty said. UF economists anticipate gas prices to stay low and housing prices to remain stable for the near future. They also expect the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates by June, a move that will ultimately translate into higher mortgage and loan rates. “Until then, we expect consumer sentiment to continue to rise,” McCarty said. Conducted January 2-25, 2015, the UF study reflects the responses of 417 individuals, representing a demographic cross-section of Florida. The index used by UF researchers is benchmarked to 1966, which means a value of 100 represents the same level of confidence for that year. The lowest index possible is a 2; the highest is 150. Palcohol is a sneaky solvable powdered alcohol that is capable of becoming a parent’s worst nightmare or an easy way to avoid overpriced drinks at sporting events. Some users in other countries where the product is legal like the Netherlands and Japan, choose to inhale it or add it to their favorite gourmet recipes. The powder can turn water into vodka, rum and a list of other cocktails — including M o j i t o s , Margaritas and Cosmopolitans. If Sen. Anitere Flores gets her way, it won’t hit store shelves in Florida anytime soon. Many are concerned about its safety and the impact it could have on the U.S. beverage alcohol industry, which is responsible for at least $400 billion annually in economic activity. “A distilled spirit that is in powdered form may not be sold in this state,” said a bill Flores filed in the Florida Senate Tuesday. While Arizona entrepreneur Mark Phillips has been pushing to get it to store shelves in the U.S., Flores and lawmakers in Colorado, Nebraska, Utah and Wisconsin are doing what they can to get in his way. This isn’t the first obstacle Phillips faces. The U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau approved its distribution and sale April 8, 2014 and days later reversed its position saying it was an “error.” “An oversight of this nature does not ring true to me,” said Robert Lehrman, who runs a beverage law website that initially reported on the product. He suggested that the bureau may have heard back from lawmakers wanting more information on the powdered alcohols. Kids weigh in on school lunch menus Vatican moves to stop more The Broward County School District held a tasting Friday at Pompano Beach High School to help determine what will be on school menu’s next year. A group of 200 students from Ramblewood Elementary and Middle School sampled new food items that the District is considering offering next school year as part of its School Breakfast, National School Lunch and Supper programs. This year’s tasting menu included teriyaki chicken sliders, black bean burgers and picadillo. “The chicken patties, they’re delicious,” said student Victor King. During the Food And Nutrition Services Annual Food Show, students were able to taste 35 new food options and give feedback. They rated each option using iPads that were set up around the cafeteria. “The chocolate chip waffle, it tastes really good,” said fourth grader Amiyah Hoppwood. “They should really serve that.” The Broward School District serves more than 145,000 meals a day. The schools’ nutritionists want to make sure the district is following federal health guidelines while also keeping the food kid-friendly. “We come under the requirements of the National Food School Lunch Program, which currently has very high standards,” said Darlene Moppert with the Broward School District’s food services. “Our entrees and our total meals must be within certain calorie ranges and fat ranges to keep it in compli- ance with dietary guidelines. The challenge as we went into some of the changes– like the 100% whole grain– is finding food that the kids will like.” District vendors provide the latest products, while Broward County Public School registered dietitians review the nutritional value for the products and new recipes. The U.S. Department of Agriculture regulates what is served in schools, mandating the offering of appropriate servings of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and high quality proteins. The winner of Friday’s taste test will be piloted at different schools around the district. If they make the cut, they’ll be on the menu next year. Catholic pervert priests The Vatican investigated two cases of child pornography possession in the past year, officials said Saturday. The chief prosecutor of the Vatican city state’s criminal tribunal, Gian Piero Milano, cited the two cases in a speech summarizing the tribunal’s work in 2014. The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said one of the cases concerned the Vatican’s former ambassador to the Dominican Republic, Jozef Wesolowski. The Polish-born Wesolowski was recalled from his post in 2013 following accusations that he had sexually abused young boys. Wesolowski has been defrocked and placed under modified house arrest inside Vatican City pending a decision by the Vatican court on whether to indict him. Neither Lombardi nor Milano identified the second child pornography possession suspect. In his speech, Milano referred to a separate case involving another Polish prelate who was convicted by the Vatican tribunal of fraud. Lombardi confirmed that the prelate was Monsignor Bronislaw Morawiec, an administrator at St. Mary Major Basilica, a Rome church where Pope Francis sometimes prays. NEWS...

James Leek, 58, was on a dive vessel called “Visibility.” The vessel came into John Pennekamp State Park shortly after 3 p.m. with CPR already in progress, according to Monroe County Sheriff ’s Office. Paramedics took over at the dock and transported Leek to Mariner’s Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Deputy Jean Gonzalez, the captain of the vessel, said they were diving at French Reef. The dive, which reached depths of 38-feet, was about a half hour long. Leek was with a dive instructor. The two surfaced, and Leek appeared to be fine, but when they reached the boat’s ladder, Leek became unresponsive. That’s when they began CPR and brought him to shore. An autopsy will be done to determine the cause of his death. No charges against George Zimmerman George Zimmerman won’t be charged for allegedly throwing a bottle of wine at his girlfriend, Florida State Attorney Phil Archer said Friday. Zimmerman, 31, was arrested Jan. 9 for suspicion of aggravated assault inside his parents’ Lake Mary residence. “While it is clear that the officers had probable cause to arrest Mr. Zimmerman which was affirmed by the circuit court judge at initial appearances, the subsequent recantation by the victim of her initial statement along with new documents provided by the victim and her attorney precludes my office from proceeding further,” Archer said in a statement. Neither Zimmerman nor his girlfriend called 911 during the incident. Police learned of the alleged fight when Zimmerman’s girlfriend was pulled over during a routine traffic stop and told the officer she was just involved in an altercation with George Zimmerman. Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the February 2012 shooting d e a t h o f u n a r m e d 1 7 - y e a r- o l d Trayvon Martin inside a gate community in Sanford, Fla. Bail denied for music promoter in $300 million fraud LA Jack Utsick extradited from Brazil last year A judge has refused to grant bail for a former music promoter who produced shows for acts such as the Rolling Stones, Elton John and Aerosmith and was recently extradited from Brazil to face a $300 million criminal fraud case. U.S. Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres said Wednesday there was ample evidence Jack Utsick, 72, might attempt to flee prosecution. Authorities say he took off for Brazil in 2007 amid investigations by the FBI and Securities and Exchange Commission into his Worldwide Entertainment Inc. promotion company. Utsick was extradited last year. Authorities say the concert business was actually a Ponzi scheme, with older investors being paid with money from newer ones. An estimated 3,300 investors were defrauded out of nearly $300 million. Utsick will plead not guilty to mail fraud charges. Missing Millionaire declared dead A South Florida missing man’s wife and mother have been battling it out to have control over his estate but for the first time they are on the same side. Both want him to be officially declared dead so they have access to his money. In the family feud over missing multi-millionaire Guma Aguiar ’s fortune, his wife faced off against her mother and sister in-law on Wednesday. The trio have been rivaling over real estate in Israel valued at about $12 million since Guma Aguiar disappeared almost three years ago. On the stand Wednesday, Aguira’s wife and mother of his four kids immediately started to tear up as she was questioned about what happened after she reported the millionaire missing. “The police showed up at our house and said they found his boat had washed ashore,” said Jamie Aguiar. The boat was found around 1:00 a.m. Surveillance video shows him hours earlier at his Ft. Lauderdale home just before he boarded his boat and left, never to be seen or heard from again. The lawyers also questioned the mother about Aguiars whereabouts. She said she hasn’t heard from her oldest son since June 19, 2012. The wife also testified that there has been no activity on his bank accounts for nearly three years. Lawyers brought out the lead detective in Aguiar’s missing person investigation, Detective Steven Novak, who told the judge about the condition in which his boat was found. “The boat was ashore…the ignition was in the on position. The lights were on. The board and the throttle was in the forward position,” said Novak. Both the mother and wife are hoping this information is enough to persuade a judge to declare Guma Aguiar dead. Once the decision is made to declare Aguiar dead, the feud over his money and millions of dollars in real estate will likely continue. The judge did not make a decision on Wednesday. The lawyers for the wife plan to bring two more expert witnesses to testify Thursday morning. L'Acqua Azzurra Judge slams DCF over kids not getting care Gold Digger arrested in Palm Beach County Florida’s Department of Children and Families has been notorious for its failures to protect children on its watch. Just this month, in yet the latest tragedy, five year-old Phoebe Jonchuck was thrown to her death from a bridge by her father, despite earlier calls to DCF’s hotline that the man was a danger to his children. In a Miami-Dade courtroom Wednesday, the issue was the failure of DCF to provide residential psychiatric treatment for severely disturbed children. Judge Michael Hanzman had called the hearing for DCF to “show cause” why it should not be sanctioned over the mental health treatment issue. “Time and time again, I’ve ordered these children into psychiatric residential treatment and these orders have not been timely complied with,” the judge said. After two years on the run, a treasure hunter embroiled in a legal fight over lost treasure, was tracked down at a hotel in Palm Beach County. Tommy Thompson vanished after failing to show up at a key court hearing in Ohio where he was being sued by investors. Thompson gained notoriety 27 years ago when he found the sunken ‘SS Central America’, also known as the ship of gold. “It seems complete role reversal. The hunter became the hunted. He was on the run for two years,” said U.S. Marshal Barry Golden. When Thompson found the Central America which sank in a hurricane off the South Carolina Coast in 1857, much of the gold was sold to a marketing group for 50 million dollars. Thompson had been paid $12 million dollars by investors who said they never saw any return. That led to a lawsuit and Thompson’s disappearance until Tuesday. Federal authorities said Thompson and his companion went to great lengths to conceal themselves, using cash only and no car. It appears they had access to a lot of the money and it was difficult to track them down. Acting on a tip from Ohio, Marshals zeroed in on Thompson’s companion on Tuesday and followed her for seven hours. “They had no vehicles. She was using buses and taxis to get around. They were able to follow her to the hotel and make an arrest,” said Golden. On Wednesday, Thompson told a federal judge he was ill and so his hearing was re-scheduled for Thursday. “I do not believe it is appropriate or acceptable for children who need psychiatric care to have to wait months to secure a bed,” Hanzman said. DCF has pointed the finger of blame at the Agency For Health Care Administration (AHCA), which is charged with providing mental health facilities. AHCA has in turn blamed DCF, and private companies to whom the state has outsourced residential psychiatric treatment. The Judge was having none of it. “Make sure that those contractors honor their obligations and actually secure enough facilities to place these children,” the judge declared. Seemingly coincidentally, Governor Rick Scott Wednesday announced he will propose an increase of $80 million in DCF’s budget. The governor saying in a statement, “Protecting our children is a top priority for me.” The budget announcement released Wednesday did not directly address the issue of residential treatment facilities for mentally disturbed children, and DCF had not responded to inquiries from CBS4 News by the time this story was posted. Back in the Miami-Dade courtroom, Judge Hanzman said the state must do better. “I’m not a policy maker and I don’t make legislation,” the judge said. “This is a problem. It just happens over and over again and the waits seem to be getting longer.” The Wednesday hearing specifically involved an 11 year-old boy who the judge ordered into a program more than a month ago. A DCF represenative said it hoped to have the child in a facility in “about two weeks.” Judge Hanzman continued the “show cause” hearing for two weeks, ordering the bureaucrats to get the child into treatment. He stopped short of suggesting that someone might yet be held in contempt.

Licensed (cc#13-SP-18474-X) & Insured (GL39018-1) Man seeks execution stay over deadly drug A Death Row inmate Friday asked the Florida Supreme Court to at least temporarily block his scheduled Feb. 26 execution while the U.S. Supreme Court considers a challenge to a key drug used in lethal injections. Attorneys for condemned killer Jerry William Correll filed an emergency petition seeking a stay until the U.S. Supreme Court rules in an Oklahoma case. The federal court will consider the constitutionality of a sedative that is the first drug administered during a three-step process used to execute inmates in Oklahoma, Florida and other states. Critics argue that the drug, midazolam, does not effectively sedate inmates during the execution process and subjects them to pain that violates the U.S. Constitution’s Eighth Amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishment. “While the harm to Correll would be great if a stay is not granted, Florida, in comparison, will suffer little appreciable harm,” the petition filed Friday said. “If a stay is granted, the only potential harm to Florida is that it will have to wait on the Supreme Court of the United States before it can carry out the execution. That delay is a temporary harm compared to the irreparable harm of permitting an unconstitutional execution to take place. Simply stated, Correll implores this court to just pause until the controversy as to the use of midazolam is resolved, thus ensuring that if he is executed his death sentence would be administered in the most humane manner.” The petition came two days after Orange County Circuit Judge Jenifer M. Davis rejected a request to stay Correll’s execution. “The Florida Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld the current lethal injection protocol against constitutional challenges and held that the protocol used in Florida does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment,” Davis wrote. “This court concludes that it is bound by the foregoing precedential authority, and therefore Mr. Correll does not have a substantial likelihood of success on the merits” of the issues in the request for the stay. Gov. Rick Scott on Jan. 16 signed a death warrant for Correll, who was convicted in the stabbing deaths of four people in 1985 in an Orlando home. The victims included Correll’s exwife, Susan, and their 5-year-old daughter, Tuesday. Also killed were Susan Correll’s mother, Mary Lou Hines, and her sister, Marybeth Jones. In announcing the signing of the death warrant, the governor’s office said the women were each stabbed at least 14 times, and the child was stabbed 10 times. Jerry Correll, now 59, is on Death Row at Florida State Prison. After Scott signed the death warrant, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed last Friday to take up the Oklahoma challenge to the lethal-injection drug. Florida began using midazolam as the first step in a three-drug execution cocktail in 2013, after it and other states previously used a drug called pentobarbital sodium. Researchers develop effective citrus greening detector While a commercially available cure for crop-killing citrus greening remains elusive, University of Florida researchers have developed a tool to help growers combat the insidious disease: an efficient, inexpensive and easy-to-use sensor that can quickly detect whether a tree has been infected. That early warning could give growers enough lead time to destroy plagued trees and save the rest. “The current ground inspection is very time-consuming, subjective, and labor intensive, and also requires a lab analysis of leaf samples,” said Daniel Lee, a UF professor of agriculture and biological engineering who developed the sensor. “Our real-time, in-field detection system can provide objective, fast, and accurate results of the disease detection.” Scientists have been unable to find a cure for citrus greening because infected plants are difficult to maintain, regenerate and study. But UF/UFAS researchers relied on the fact that citrus greening causes leaves to store high levels of starch that can rotate the direction of reflected light from its original orientation in the development of the sensor. In 95 to 98 percent of laboratory and field tests, the sensor accurately detected the signs of citrus greening: leaves with veins and splotches that appear a pale shade of gray on the sensor’s images, an obvious contrast to the dark-gray image of healthy leaves. UF/IFAS researchers used 10 high-powered LEDs and an inexpensive camera to assemble the sensor for a cost of less than $1,000, making it affordable for even small citrus growers, although commercial availability depends on finding a sponsor, Lee said. Citrus greening, also known as “yellow dragon disease,” begins when a tiny sap-sucking insect deposits bacteria on the leaf of a healthy fruit tree. The bacteria invade the tree and starve it of nutrients, causing its fruit to be shrunken and misshapen with a thick, pale peel that remains green at the bottom. Most trees afflicted with citrus greening die within a few years. First described in China in 1929, citrus greening was only recently detected in North America. In Florida, one of 10 states that have been quarantined due to the presence of the bacteria-carrying insect, commercial citrus acreage decreased by 28 percent from 2004 to 2011, with greening one of the major reasons for this loss. While pursuing early detection methods that lead to the removal and destruction of infected trees to control the spread of citrus greening, UF/IFAS researchers are working to wipe out the disease on a number of fronts. Among them are eradication of the bacteria-carrying insect that causes the disease and breeding citrus rootstock that show better greening resistance. Commercial Insurance Expert Witness William D.

Recent findings suggest that both adult children and their aging parents identify stubbornness in the parents, and that a new approach to conversation may be the answer. Aging parents may respond to advice or help with daily problems from their grown children by insisting, resisting, or persisting in their ways or opinions -- being stubborn. Until now, research has not examined how frequently such behaviors occur and what factors are associated with these behaviors. Allison Heid, project director, New Jersey Institute for Successful Aging, Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine and recent Penn State Ph.D. recipient, found that middleaged adults and their parents report instances where parents act in ways that are commonly attributed to stub- bornness. Steven Zarit, Distinguished Professor of Human Development and Family Studies, Penn State, cites a struggle for independence many older adults face as they try to maintain the life they had and the people they were. "It's a topic everyone experiences," Zarit said. "It just hasn't been studied." The goal of the research was not to identify whether individuals are "stubborn," but rather to understand perceptions of older parents and their adult children regarding such behavior. The researchers demonstrated that individual and relationshipbased factors are linked to the perceived expression of stubbornness by parents and that there is discordance in perceptions within families. Findings suggest a need for intervention to increase understanding. "Finding better ways to have that conversation is really important," Zarit said. The researchers found that stubborn behaviors are reported to have occurred in the past few months at least once, but usually more often for more than 90 percent of families interviewed. Three-fourths of children and two-thirds of aging parents in the sample say that at least one of the behaviors -- insisting, resisting or persisting -- is happening sometimes. The children in these families are not providing caregiving support -high levels of support with daily activities or basic needs -- but rather the family members are providing everyday support to one another. A second finding, Heid said, is that adult children link perceptions of parent stubbornness with how children see their relationships with their parents, but parents link their perceptions to who they are as people. If parents see themselves as more neurotic or less agreeable, they report more stubbornness. "This finding indicates that adult children and aging parents may be seeing these behaviors differently," said Heid. Researchers also found that adult children perceive their parents as acting in ways commonly attributed to stubbornness more often than parents self-perceive such behaviors. Again, adult children and aging parents may see these behaviors differently in their relationships, which may impact how they relate to one another or support one another. For practitioners or interventionists interacting with families, the work shows that stubbornness is a concern for families that likely should be discussed, Heid said. There are often basic differences within families about day-to-day goals that could impact how families provide care or support. It is likely, Heid says, that these differences are a barrier to providing support within families. "Helping families learn how to talk about older adults' preferences and about goal differences may be important in helping families best support older adults," she said. "However, this may mean we need to do additional work and research to develop the best strategies to do so." Flexible work schedules improve health, sleep Giving employees more control over their work schedules may help curb sleep deficiency, according to health researchers. "In the absence of sufficient sleep, we are not as attentive or alert, we process information more slowly, miss or misinterpret social and emotional cues and decision making is impaired," said Orfeu M. Buxton, associate professor of biobehavioral health, Penn State. "For example, we may misjudge risks by undervaluing negative consequences and overvaluing potential rewards." About 30 percent of U.S. adults reported not regularly getting a sufficient amount of sleep, a 2012 Centers for Disease Control survey found. Sleep deficiency has been linked to increased risk of automobile crashes, chronic disease and early mortality. Improving adequate sleep within the population is a goal of Healthy People 2020, a federal initiative that sets national objectives and monitors progress concerning the health of the nation. Buxton and colleagues looked to see if a workplace intervention, designed to increase family-supportive supervision and give employees more control over their work time, improved sleep quantity and quality. The researchers followed 474 employees as part of a Work, Family and Health Network study conducted at an information technology company. Half of the employees serving as the control while the other half experienced the study intervention. Both employees and their supervisors participated. The intervention was designed to reduce conflicts between work and personal life. It focused on two main cultural shifts: allowing employees to decide on when and where they worked and training supervisors to support their employees' personal lives. Those who were assigned to the intervention were encouraged to be completely flexible about when and where they would work -- at the office, from home or elsewhere -- while still working the same number of hours as the control group. All of the participants wore a sleepmonitoring watch, a device that tracks movement to monitor periods of sleep. Interviews and data collection oc- Green tea targets protein to kill oral cancer cells Good bedtime habits equal better sleep for kids Children obtain better and more age-appropriate sleep in the presence of household rules and regular sleepwake routines, according to sleep researchers. The researchers found that well-established rules for getting good sleep, such as limited caffeine and a regular bedtime, led to sufficient sleep quantity and adequate sleep quality. In contrast, when parents and children had electronic devices on in the bedroom after bedtime, sleep deficiency was more likely. Reducing the encroachment of technology and media into sleep time and supporting well-known sleep hygiene principles should be a focus of public health intervention goals for sleep health, the researchers said. Orfeu Buxton, now an associate professor of biobehavioral health at Penn State, led a team conducting the 2014 National Sleep Foundation Sleep in America Poll, "Sleep in the Modern Family," whose overall objective was to obtain a current picture of sleep in families with at least one school-aged child. "We were interested in parental perception of the importance of sleep duration and sleep quality, habits, and routines of the families and children, and obstacles preventing adequate sleep," Buxton said. According to researchers, although the majority of parents endorsed the importance of sleep, 90 percent of children did not sleep the full amount of time recommended for their age group. Some of the primary consequences of poor sleep among children and ado- lescents are behavioral problems, impaired learning and school performance, sports injuries, problems with mood and emotional regulation, and a worsening of health-related issues including obesity. Evidence also indicates that in adolescence, lack of sleep may be related to high-risk behaviors such as substance abuse, suicidal behaviors and drowsy driving. Significant predictors of age-adjusted sufficient sleep duration -- estimated conservatively as at least nine hours for ages 6 through 11 years and at least eight hours for ages 12 to 17 years -- included parent education, regular enforcement of rules about caffeine and whether children left technology on in their bedroom overnight. "We have previously demonstrated the negative effect that use of lightemitting technology before bedtime can have on sleep, and now in this study we see how parental rules and Cardiac stress testing may not benefit ED patients with chest pain Patients seen in the emergency department (ED) for chest pain who did not have a heart attack were found to be at very low risk of experiencing a heart attack during 190 days of follow-up. Early cardiac stress testing compared to no stress testing was not associated with lower odds of having a heart attack in the future. Penn State Hershey’s Dr. Andrew J. Foy and coauthors report their findings in a paper published online by JAMA Internal Medicine. About 6 million patients are seen in EDs annually for chest pain or other symptoms suggestive of myocardial ischemia (decreased blood flow to the heart). Patients without objective evi- dence of myocardial ischemia have been found to be at low risk for experiencing a major cardiovascular event during short term followup, and most patients do not have a cardiac cause for their symptoms. Cardiac stress testing is commonly performed in these patients to delineate those who may benefit from more aggressive therapy. However, there is little evidence that cardiac stress testing in these patients is beneficial. The researchers compared ED patients with chest pain who underwent early cardiac stress testing with those who did not. The study analyzed health insurance claims data for a national sample of privately insured patients routines regarding technology can influence the quantity and quality of their children's sleep," said AnneMarie Chang, assistant professor of biobehavioral health at Penn State and co-author of the study. Chang and colleagues recently showed that reading on an iPad before bedtime, compared to reading a print book, can impair sleep, delay circadian timing, and degrade alertness the following morning. "An important consequence of our modern-day, 24/7 society is that it is difficult for families -- children and caregivers both -- to get adequate sleep," Buxton said. "Sleep in the family context frames sleep as involving interactions between all members of a household and interactions with the environment of the home as well as exogenous factors like work or school affecting any member." Several potential reasons for poor sleep include the use of technology in the bedroom, complicated and busy daily schedules with competing work, school, social, and recreational activities as well as neighborhood noise from vehicular traffic, commercial or industrial activity and neighbors. Within the family dynamic, a consistent bedtime routine improves sleep, whereas television use in the bedroom generally is associated with curtailed sleep. "Good quality and sufficient sleep are vital for children," Buxton said. "Just like a healthy diet and exercise, sleep is critical for children to stay healthy, grow, learn, do well in school, and function at their best." during the year 2011. The study found that the percentage of patients who were hospitalized with heart attack during seven and 190-days of follow-up was 0.11 percent and 0.33 percent, respectively. Early cardiac stress testing compared to no stress testing was not associated with lower odds of having a heart attack in the future. However, it was associated with more downstream testing and invasive treatment. Ultimately, this challenges the current belief in the field that cardiac stress testing in this patient population can prevent future heart attacks. Rather, it would appear that it only increases unnecessary downstream testing and invasive treatment. “More studies need to be conducted to clarify the best testing strategy for low-risk patients being evaluated for chest pain in the ED,” Foy said. “Given today’s concerns regarding health care cost growth, especially the portion attributable to noninvasive cardiac imaging, and patient safety issues related to radiation exposure as well as overdiagnosis, performing such a study should be a priority.” A compound found in green tea may trigger a cycle that kills oral cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone, according to Penn State food scientists. The research could lead to treatments for oral cancer, as well as other types of cancer. Earlier studies had shown that epigallocatechin-3-gallate -- EGCG - a compound found in green tea, killed oral cancer cells without harming normal cells, but researchers did not understand the reasons for its ability to target the cancer cells, said Joshua Lambert, associate professor of food science and co-director of Penn State's Center for Plant and Mushroom Foods for Health. The current study shows that EGCG may trigger a process in the mitochondria that leads to cell death. "EGCG is doing something to damage the mitochondria and that mitochondrial damage sets up a cycle causing more damage and it spirals out, until the cell undergoes programmed cell death," said Lambert. "It looks like EGCG causes the formation of reactive oxygen species in cancer cells, which damages the mitochondria, and the mitochondria responds by making more reactive oxygen species." As this mitochondrial demise continues, the cancer cell also reduces the expression of anti-oxidant genes, further lowering its defenses. "So, it's turning off its mechanism of protection at the same time that EGCG is causing this oxidative stress," Lambert added. The EGCG did not cause this reaction in normal cells. In fact, it appeared to increase the protective capabilities of the cell, according to the researchers. The researchers studied normal human oral cells side-by-side with human oral cancer cells to determine how EGCG was affecting cancer cells differently than normal cells. They grew the normal and cancer cells on petri dishes and then exposed them to EGCG, the major polyphenol found in green tea, at concentrations typically curred three times throughout the study. Baseline was determined with the first set of data collection, prior to the intervention. Six months after the program began, the researchers observed work-related variables that they hoped to change with the intervention. A year after the intervention, Buxton and colleagues followed up to observe outcomes, including changes in the amount and quality of sleep employees were getting. "We showed that an intervention focused on changing the workplace culture could increase the measured amount of sleep employees obtain, as well as their perception that their sleep was more sufficient," said Buxton. At 12 months, the researchers found that employees who participated in the intervention experienced an average of eight minutes more sleep per night, which is nearly an hour more sleep per week, than the control group. Intervention participants' perceptions of their sleep sufficiency also improved. "Work can be a calling and inspirational, as well as a paycheck, but work should not be detrimental to health," said Buxton. "It is possible to mitigate some of the deleterious effects of work by reducing work-family conflict and improving sleep." found in the saliva after chewing greentea chewing gum. At various times, the researchers would collect the cells and check for oxidative stress and signs of antioxidant response. "We also took a lot of pictures, so we could use fluorescent dyes that measure mitochondrial function and oxidative stress and actually see these things develop," said Lambert, who worked with Jong-Yung Park, a research technician and Ling Tao, a doctoral candidate in food science. The researchers said that a protein called sirtuin 3 -- SIRT3 -- is critical to the process. "It plays an important role in mitochondrial function and in anti-oxidant response in lots of tissues in the body, so the idea that EGCG might selectively affect the activity of sirtuin 3 in cancer cells -- to turn it off -- and in normal cells -- to turn it on -- is probably applicable in multiple kinds of cancers," Lambert said. The study builds on earlier research on how EGCG affected oral cancer, a disease that is expected to kill more than 8,000 people in the United States this year. "We've published one paper previously just looking at the effect of these green tea polyphenols on oral cancer cells in cultures, and there have been other papers published using oral cancer cells and at least a couple of animal model studies that have looked at oral cancer and prevention of oral cancer," said Lambert. He said the next step would be to study the mechanism in animals. If those tests and human trials are successful, the researchers then hope to create anti-cancer treatments that are as effective as current treatments without the harmful side effects. "The problem with a lot of chemotherapy drugs -- especially early chemotherapy drugs -- is that they really just target rapidly dividing cells, so cancer divides rapidly, but so do cells in your hair follicles and cells in your intestines, so you have a lot of side effects," said Lambert. "But you don't see these sorts of side effects with green tea consumption." Study of drug users finds people with ADHD started using at younger age Adults with a history of ADHD who use drugs started using substances one to two years earlier than those with no ADHD history, according to a new University of Florida study. The findings highlight the need for earlier substance-use-prevention interventions in adolescents with ADHD, researchers say. “The take-home message of this study shouldn’t be that children with ADHD are more likely to become drug users, rather, seemingly ‘normal’ teenage behavior, such as experimenting with tobacco or alcohol use, may occur at younger ages for individuals with ADHD and so this might serve as a red flag for an accelerated gateway to illicit drug use.” said Eugene Dunne, the study’s lead author. Experts believe that people with ADHD who use drugs may be trying to self-medicate some of the symptoms associated with the disorder. “Stimulant drugs such as nicotine and cocaine might be used to counter symptoms of inattention, while alcohol and marijuana may be used to counter feelings of hyperactivity or impulsivity,” said Dunne, a third-year doctoral student in clinical and health psychology at UF’s College of Public Health and Health Professions and a predoctoral fellow at UF’s Substance Abuse Training Center in Public Health, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. While previous studies have found that adolescents with ADHD are at an increased risk for substance use and for starting at an earlier age than teens who do not have ADHD, the UF study is the first to compare the age of first use by individual substance among a group of adults with and without a history of ADHD who use drugs. It also included a comprehensive assessment of HIV risk behaviors. ADHD is most often diagnosed in children and symptoms may continue into adulthood. The 2011 National Survey of Children’s Health estimated that 11 percent of U.S. children ages 4 to 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD. A National Institute of Mental Health 2006 study found that 4 percent of adults ages 18 to 44 experience some ADHD symptoms. For the UF study, participants included more than 900 adults who had used illicit drugs in the past six months. They completed questionnaires that collected information on demographics, drug use and sexual risk behaviors. Among participants, 13 percent said they had previously received a diagnosis of ADHD from a health care provider. “As hypothesized, we found the progression of participants’ adolescent substance use to be similar to that in the gateway theory of substance use, with alcohol being the first re- ported, followed very closely by cigarettes, then leading to marijuana and eventually more illicit drugs such as cocaine and heroin,” Dunne said.

All Rights Reserved A Little Wisdom Money can’t buy happiness but it sure makes misery easier to live with. Bruce Frenkel Astronomer Eric Mamajek at the University of Rochester and his coauthor from the Leiden Observatory, The Netherlands, have discovered that the ring system that they see eclipse the very young Sun-like star J1407 is of enormous proportions, much larger and heavier than the ring system of Saturn. The ring system – the first of its kind to be found outside our solar system – was discovered in 2012 by a team led by Rochester’s Eric Mamajek. A new analysis of the data, led by Leiden’s Matthew Kenworthy, shows that the ring system consists of over 30 rings, each of them tens of millions of kilometers in diameter. Furthermore, they found gaps in the rings, which indicate that satellites (“exomoons”) may have formed. “The details that we see in the light curve are incredible. The eclipse lasted for several weeks, but you see rapid changes on time scales of tens of minutes as a result of fine structures in the rings,” says Kenworthy. “The star is much too far away to observe the rings directly, but we could make a detailed model based on the rapid brightness variations in the star light passing through the ring system. If we could replace Saturn’s rings with the rings around J1407b, they would be easily visible at night and be many times larger than the full moon.” “This planet is much larger than Jupiter or Saturn, and its ring system is roughly 200 times larger than Saturn’s rings are today,” said co-author Mamajek, professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Rochester. “You could think of it as kind of a super Saturn.” The astronomers analyzed data from the SuperWASP project – a survey that is designed to detect gas giants that move in front of their parent star. In 2012, Mamajek and colleagues at the University of Rochester reported the discovery of the young star J1407 and the unusual eclipses, and proposed that they were caused by a moonforming disk around a young giant planet or brown dwarf.

The rings are shown eclipsing the young sun-like star J1407, as they would have appeared in early 2007. Credit: Ron Miller In a third, more recent study also led by Kenworthy, adaptive optics and Doppler spectroscopy were used to estimate the mass of the ringed object. Their conclusions based on these and previous papers on the intriguing system J1407 is that the companion is likely to be a giant planet – not yet seen – with a gigantic ring system responsible for the repeated dimming of J1407’s light. The light curve tells astronomers that the diameter of the ring system is nearly 120 million kilometers, more than two hundred times as large as the rings of Saturn. The ring system likely When Investing, Use the "Power of Three" Probing question: Are there Many factors will affect your results as an investor — and some of these factors are beyond your control, such as interest-rate movements or the eurozone debt crisis or the sales results of the companies in which you invest. However, as you work toward your financial goals, you will find that you actually have control over three of the most important drivers of investment success: time, money and return. limits to freedom of speech? Let’s look at these three elements: Time — Time can be a big asset — if you use it wisely. However, many young people, just starting out in their working lives, think they can wait until “later” to begin investing, as their retirement is so far away. But this could be a mistake. The earlier you start to invest, the more money you will put away, and the greater the potential for your money to appreciate. If you do wait until mid-career before you start seriously saving and investing for retirement, you will still have options, but you may need to make some trade-offs, such as possibly retiring later than you had originally planned. So here’s the key: Start investing as early as possible — and keep investing. Money — Not surprisingly, the more money you invest on a regular basis while you are working, the more money you’ll likely end up with when you retire. Suppose, for example, that you invested $3,000 per year and earned a hypothetical 7% annual return. After 30 years, you’d have accumulated about $303,000 (assuming the investment was placed in a tax-deferred account, such as a traditional IRA). But if you put in $5,000 per year, instead of $3,000, and earned the same hypothetical 7% annual return, you’d end up with about $505,000 after 30 years, again assuming the investment was placed in a traditional IRA. The difference between $3,000 per year and $5,000 per year isn’t all that much — just about $40 a week — but after 30 years, these relatively small differences can add up to a big sum of money. Of course, this is just a simple illustration that shows how saving more can possibly put you in a better position in the future. Keep in mind that there are no guarantees and that the value of your investments will fluctuate. Return — You might think that your investments’ rate of return is the one variable over which you have the least control. However, “least control” doesn’t mean “no control.” You can control your potential return to the extent of selecting a mix of stocks, bonds, government securities and other investments that reflects the level of risk you’re willing to tolerate in exchange for the potential growth you’d like to achieve. By creating this mix, you can help yourself avoid the biggest investment risk of all — not reaching your long-term goals. By investing for as many years as you can, putting in as much as possible each year and choosing an investment mix that provides you with the greatest potential reward given your risk tolerance, you can take command, to a significant extent, of your own investment success. And that’s a type of authority you won’t want to relinquish. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. Wearable computers no longer just for the Jetsons Google Glass had nothing on the VuMan 3, a portable computer worn by Marines at Camp Pendleton in 1993. The system – a processor worn on a belt and wired to a headband display – led mec h a n i c s through a 50page inspection checklist for amphibious tractors. The checklist had 600 data points, which took six hours to complete. A second Marine then had to transcribe the notes. “The mechanic would crawl into a tight space, take a look, wriggle out, write down what he saw on a clipboard and then crawl back in,” said Daniel Siewiorek, who helped design the VuMan 3. He is the Buhl University professor of computer science and electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. A mechanic wearing a VuMan 3 computer was able to complete large sections of the checklist without leaving that confined space. “That cut the inspection time by half,” Siewiorek said. Siewiorek discussed the VuMan 3 and other wearable-computer projects during an Association for Computing Machinery talk at Penn State Behrend on Jan. 27. He spoke to us in advance of the program, which was open to the public. Siewiorek’s stories don’t always end well. In 1996, for instance, he and others f r o m Carnegie M e l l o n tested a mobile translating device with U.S. troops stationed in Bosnia. “It was designed to do simple English-to-Serbo-Croatian translation,” he said. “Basic things, like, ‘Are you hurt?’ and ‘Where does it hurt?’” The computer worked, but the protective casing too often was damaged. “We used these really strong industrial-quality housings,” Siewiorek said. “We did all kinds of tests with them. You could drop one from a height of 8 feet, right onto a concrete floor, and the thing would just bounce. “We sent six units over to Bosnia,” he said. “We got part of one back.” As director of Carnegie Mellon’s Quality of Life Technology Center, Siewiorek now works with assistive robots and wearable computers that provide health and wellness monitoring and mobility services. “It’s a social experiment,” he said. “It just takes some getting used to. The intrinsic hope and optimism of a new year were shattered with the Jan. 7, 2015 terrorist massacre of 12 journalists in the office of French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo. The attack prompted swift worldwide condemnation, but it has also renewed intense debate about freedom of expression. Not only do individual countries differ radically in their stances on free speech and censorship, but there are struggles within each nation to interpret and enforce their citizens' legal rights. Are there limits to the right to free speech in the United States? If so, where do we draw those lines? "The U.S. Supreme Court has recognized very few exceptions to the First Amendment," said Robert Richards, founding director of the Pennsylvania Center for the First Amendment at Penn State, which was established in 1992 to promote awareness and understanding of the principles of free expression to the scholarly community, the media and the general public. "The categories of speech that fall outside of its protection are obscenity, child pornography, defamation, incitement to violence and true threats of violence," he explained. "Even in those categories, there are tests that have to be met in order for the speech to be illegal. Beyond that, we are free to speak." In the United States, several states have had laws against blasphemy even though such laws violate the U.S. Constitution. Charlie Hebdo is considered by many to be an inflammatory and offensive publication, particularly for its graphic cartoons lampooning religious figures such as the Prophet Muhammad. Does that change how we should view the publication's free speech rights as seen through the lens of American laws and values? "Many people are mistaken in their belief that offensive speech or hate speech is not protected," said Richards. "The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed the notion that unpopular speech enjoys full First Amendment protection. As the late Justice William Brennan put it, in a case involving flag burning, 'If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable.'" Some would argue that much of the content in Charlie Hebdo is blasphemous. Yet the very notion of blas- contains roughly an Earth’s worth of mass in light-obscuring dust particles. Mamajek puts into context how much material is contained in these disks and rings. “If you were to grind up the four large Galilean moons of Jupiter into dust and ice and spread phemy -- defined as insulting God or any religious or holy person or thing -- varies greatly around the world. In some countries, blasphemy is not only illegal but is punishable by death. In the United States, several states have had laws against blasphemy even though such laws violate the U.S. Constitution. Pennsylvania enacted a blasphemy law in 1977, which was struck down by the U.S. District Court in 2007. The last conviction for blasphemy in the U.S. took place in Arkansas in 1928. "In the United States, people are free to criticize religion as well as government," Richards said. "Some of that criticism can be quite caustic, yet we don't put people in jail, or worse, for engaging in that type of expression. Just a couple of years ago, the Supreme Court upheld the right of the Westboro Baptist Church to protest at military funerals with signs carrying extremely offensive messages. Without question, most Americans found those demonstrations to be repugnant. Nonetheless, we protect the right to protest." France has a long history of subversive political satire, but so does the United States, reminded Richards. "Satire and parody in the United States are as old as the country itself. Satire, such as what we often see in political cartoons, is an important part of the rights of a free press. Of course, in some parts of the world, that type of expression is taken much more seriously and the cartoonists are punished." In our own legal history, he says, "the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in 1988 that satire and out the material over their orbits in a ring around Jupiter, the ring would be so opaque to light that a distant observer that saw the ring pass in front of the sun would see a very deep, multiday eclipse,” Mamajek says. “In the case of J1407, we see the rings blocking as much as 95 percent of the light of this young Sun-like star for days, so there is a lot of material there that could then form satellites.” In the data the astronomers found at least one clean gap in the ring structure, which is more clearly defined in the new model. “One obvious explanation is that a satellite formed and parody are protected expression. The court noted the history of political cartoons and affirmed the importance of the protection even though the cartoons can be quite stinging. Then–Chief Justice Rehnquist wrote, 'The appeal of the political cartoon or caricature is often based on exploitation of unfortunate physical traits or politically embarrassing events -- an exploitation often calculated to injure the feelings of the subject of the portrayal. The art of the cartoonist is often not reasoned or evenhanded, but slashing and one-sided.'" In a 1964 case, the Court observed, "Debate on public issues will not be uninhibited if the speaker must run the risk that it will be proved in court that he spoke out of hatred; even if he did speak out of hatred, utterances honestly believed contribute to the free interchange of ideas and the ascertainment of truth." Documents such as the United Nations' "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" represent an attempt to create a shared global agreement regarding universal rights and freedoms, but some commentators have suggested that violent culture clashes between fundamentalist beliefs about blasphemy and secular beliefs about democracy and freedom of speech are inevitable in today's polarized world. "While I support freedom of speech throughout the world, and the Universal Declaration certainly is a sound philosophy, I do believe that each country has the right to determine its own laws regarding speech," said Richards. "We have a strong sense of free speech in the United States, and we back that up with a constitutional guarantee. Not all countries share our sense of protecting speech, and efforts to create a more global initiative would be difficult in this area." However, the world is not entirely without common ground regarding free speech, said Richards. "What was inspirational to me during the Charlie Hebdo tragedy was the outpouring of support for free expression from many corners of the world. That support alone sends a message that many citizens of the world unite in the need for protection for free speech." In the U.S., he says, it bears remembering that "in a sense, we have a First Amendment to protect unpopular expression -- or the minority viewpoint -- because we don't need a constitution to protect what the majority thinks. The majority takes care of itself." carved out this gap,” says Kenworthy. “The mass of the satellite could be between that of Earth and Mars. The satellite would have an orbital period of approximately two years around J1407b.” Astronomers expect that the rings will become thinner in the next several million years and eventually disappear as satellites form from the material in the disks. “The planetary science community has theorized for decades that planets like Jupiter and Saturn would have had, at an early stage, disks around them that then led to the formation of satellites,” Mamajek explains. “However, until we discovered this object in 2012, no-one had seen such a ring system. This is the first snapshot of satellite formation on million-kilometer scales around a substellar object.” Astronomers estimate that the ringed companion J1407b has an orbital period roughly a decade in length. The mass of J1407b has been difficult to constrain, but it is most likely in the range of about 10 to 40 Jupiter masses. The researchers encourage amateur astronomers to help monitor J1407, which would help detect the next eclipse of the rings, and constrain the period and mass of the ringed companion. Observations of J1407 can be reported to the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO). In the meantime the astronomers are searching other photometric surveys looking for eclipses by yet undiscovered ring systems. Kenworthy adds that finding eclipses from more objects like J1407’s companion “is the only feasible way we have of observing the early conditions of satellite formation for the near future. Satire has a history of informing during times of crisis "Robust satire is often a sign of crisis and the ability to share and consume it is a sign of a free society," said Sophia McClennen, professor of international affairs and comparative literature and director of Penn State's Center for Global Studies. "We see satire emerge when political discourse is in crisis and when it becomes important to use satirical comedy to put political pressure on misinformation, folly and the abuse of power." McClennen and Remy Maisel, a recent Penn State undergraduate in media studies, trace the use of satire as an American form of political engagement from the country's colonial era to the present high-tech, multimedia satire in "Is Satire Saving Our Nation?" Satirical cartoons -- especially ones that painted King George as a buffoon -- flourished in America before and during the Revolutionary War. Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain, two of America's favorite writers, were also both excellent satirists. "The Founders didn't just enjoy humor -- they believed it was politically important," the researchers write. "And so they employed the pen and the sword, using satirical works as weapons in a literary and ideological war to decide the future of the new Republic.'" Shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, television satirists, such as Jon Stewart, who hosts the Daily Show, and Stephen Colbert, who hosted the Colbert Report, were among the few critical voices speaking out about the U.S. government and its policies, according to the researchers. While satire has always been part of the nation's political landscape, technology is changing who creates satire and how it is accessed, according to the researchers. Unlike Franklin and Twain, current satirists are not necessarily professional writers or journalists. Satirists increasingly belong to a generation of Americans born from the early 1980s to early 2000s - often referred to as millennials -- and are leveraging their technological savvy skills on the internet and social media sites like Twitter to spread satire. In another major change, millennials are relying on Stewart, Colbert and other television satirists, not just for a source of amusement, but as sources of news and information.

LIC# AB-0003126 Publish Februry 5, 2015 AAR ON S ANTISO MPT AARON SANTISO MPT,, PES OWNER / PRESIDENT “If you walk into a cocktail party and say, ‘I don’t believe that time passes,’ everyone’s going to think you’re completely insane,” says Brad Skow, an associate professor of philosophy at MIT. He would know: Skow himself doesn’t believe time passes, at least not in the way we often describe it, through metaphorical descriptions in which we say, as he notes, “that time flows like a river, or we move through time the way a ship sails on the sea.” Skow doesn’t believe time is ever in motion like this. In the first place, he says, time should be regarded as a dimension of spacetime, as relativity theory holds — so it does not pass by us in some way, because spacetime doesn’t. Instead, time is part of the uniform larger fabric of the universe, not something moving around inside it. Now in a new book, “Objective Becoming,” published by Oxford University Press, Skow details this view, which philosophers call the “block universe” theory of time. In one sense, the block universe theory seems unthreatening to our intuitions: When Skow says time does not pass, he does not believe that nothing ever happens. Events occur, people age, and so on. “Things change,” he agrees. However, Skow believes that events do not sail past us and vanish forever; they just exist in different parts of spacetime. (Some physics students who learn to draw diagrams of spacetime may find this view of time intuitive.) Still, Skow’s view of time does lead to him to offer some slightly more unusual-sounding conclusions. For instance: We exist in a “temporally scattered” condition, as he writes in the new book. “The block universe theory says you’re spread out in time, something like the way you’re spread out in space,” Skow says. “We’re not located at a single time.” Setting up Sue LEGAL NOTICE - SALE A & B TOWING will sell at Public Sale at Auction the following vehicles to satisfy lien pursuant to Chapter 713.78 of the Florida Statutes on this date listed 10:00 am on 02/19/2015. * AUCTION WILL OCCUR AT 2313 SW 59TH AVENUE WEST PARK FL 33023-4046* Any person(s) claiming an interest(s) in the above listed Vehicles, contact: A & B TOWING, (954) 963-3225. *ALL AUCTIONS ARE HELD WITH RESERVE *Some of the vehicles may have been released prior to auction. 2005 1D4HD48DX5F536256 DODGE 2002 1FAFP52212A196616 FORD 1999 2FAFP71W7XX168009 FORD 1996 2HGEJ6578TH508486 HONDA 1996 2T1BB02E9TC144846 TOYOTA 2007 2T2GK31U37C012361 LEXUS 2014 JKAEX8A19EA007905 KAWASAKI Publish February 5, 2015 LEGAL NOTICE - PROBATE IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 17TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, IN AND FOR BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA PROBATE DIVISION File No. PR-C-14-0005253 IN RE: ESTATE OF BERTIE KIRSON, Deceased NOTICE TO CREDITORS The administration of the estate of BERTIE KIRSON, Deceased, whose date of death was November 10, 2014, is pending in the Circuit Court for Broward County, Florida, PROBATE DIVISION, the address of which is 201 S.E. 6 th Street, Room 252, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301.

Still, he says, that argument ultimately “rests on a big confusion about what the block universe theory is saying. Even the block universe theory agrees that … the only experiences I’m having are the ones I’m having now in this room.” The experiences you had a year ago or 10 years ago are still just as real, Skow asserts; they’re just “inaccessible” because you are now in a different part of spacetime. That may take a chunk of, well, time to digest. But by treating the past, present, and future as materially identical, the theory is consistent with the laws of physics as we understand them. And at MIT, that doesn’t sound insane at all.

Man critical after hit by drunk driver An intoxicated driver struck a man as he crossed Atlantic Blvd. just minutes from his home in Pompano Beach. The driver remained on scene and faces multiple DUI charges. Broward Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide Investigation detectives are investigating the incident. At 3:34 pm, Kyle Gerhart was driving a 2007 Ford Mustang westbound on East Atlantic Blvd. approaching the intersection of Northeast 11 Ave. A witness stated that he was driving in a reckless manner prior to the incident. Joachin Polidor was walking across the roadway from north to south approximately 100 feet east of the crosswalk. The side front bumper of Gerhart’s car struck the pedestrian in the designated left turn lane. The pedestrian was projected into the center lane of eastbound traffic. After striking the pedestrian, the car veered back across the westbound lanes and collided with a 2008 Hyundai Tucson that was stopped at the intersection. Pompano Beach Fire Rescue transported the pedestrian to Broward Health North in critical condition. BSO deputies took Gerhart into custody. He faces charges for DUI, DUI with serious bodily injury, DUI property damage, reckless driving, reckless driving with serious bodily injury and reckless driving with property damage. Black enrollment down at UF The University of Florida saw a more than 50 percent drop in enrollment of black freshmen from 2007 to 2013 and a nearly 30 percent drop in overall enrollment of black students. Enrollment of black freshmen dipped from a high of 910 students in 2007 to just 395 in 2013. Some university officials attribute the decline to former Gov. Jeb Bush’s “One Florida” initiative, which prohibits state university from using race or gender as a basis for admission. “As One Florida was first implemented, we did see a dip overall during the period of transition,” said Zina Evans, UF’s associate provost and vice president for enrollment management. The UF recruiting team had to develop programs that didn’t target race or gender but still ensured a diverse applicant pool going into the pipeline, she said. “We try to engage with community-based organizations engaging with diverse student populations,” Evans said. “We put a significant focus on urban schools, rural and low-income schools. We continue to target firstgeneration students.” The information on black enrollment rates, compiled by Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, showed the University of Florida had the second-highest decline in black freshmen in the Southeastern Conference. The University of South Carolina had the highest decline in black undergraduate enrollment, a 30.6 percent dip from 2004 to 2013. Overall minority enrollment at the University of Florida is up mainly due to a continued growth in the Hispanic/Latino population, Evans said. “It fits naturally with the large Hispanic population in Florida,” she said. “Overall, the diversity in the application pool is holding steady at 20 percent. "We want to have as diverse a group as possible.” Spotlighting the alternatives In “Objective Becoming,” Skow aims to convince readers that things could hardly be otherwise. To do so, he spends much of the book considering competing ideas about time — the ones that assume time does pass, or move by us in some way. “I was interested in seeing what kind of view of the universe you would have if you took these metaphors about the passage of time very, very seriously,” Skow says. In the end, Skow finds these alternatives lacking, including one fairly popular view known as “presentism,” which holds that only events and objects in the present can be said to exist — and that Skow thinks defies the physics of spacetime. Skow is more impressed by an alternative idea called the “moving spotlight” theory, which may allow that the past and future exist on a par with the present. However, the theory holds, only one moment at a time is absolutely present, and that moment keeps changing, as if a spotlight were moving over it. This is also consistent with relativity, Skow thinks — but it still treats the present as being too distinct, as if the present were cut from different cloth than the rest of the universal fabric. “I think the theory is fantastic,” Skow writes of the moving spotlight idea. “That is, I think it is a fantasy. But I also have a tremendous amount 3000 B AYVIEW DRIVE BA P: 954-533-5543 FT AUD. FL 33306 FT.. L LA F: 754-223-2596 [email protected]
