Feds, university test cars that can communicate

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) ? In a few weeks, about 2,800 cars, trucks and buses will start talking to each other on the streets of Ann Arbor, Mich., in a giant experiment that government officials are hoping will lead to safer roads.

Wireless devices will allow the vehicles to send signals to each other, warning their drivers of potential dangers such as stopped traffic or cars that might be blowing through a red light. They can even get traffic lights to turn green if no cars are coming the other way.

The U.S. Department of Transportation and the University of Michigan are hoping the year-long, $25 million project generates data that show the devices can cut down on traffic crashes. Officials say eventually this could lead to the devices going in every car. About 500 vehicles with the devices are now on the roads. That will rise to 2,800 in about six weeks, officials said Tuesday.

"This is a big day for safety," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said at an event at the university formally kicking off the experiment. "We'll use this information to decide if vehicle technology can be applied to daily lives."

More than 32,000 people died last year in U.S. traffic crashes, down 1.7 percent from 2010. The number of crashes has fallen in recent years as automakers added safety devices such as air bags, antilock brakes and stability control, which helps drivers keep cars under control in emergency situations.

But LaHood said Tuesday that 80 percent of crashes in which the drivers aren't impaired by drugs or alcohol could be prevented ? or the severity reduced ? if cars could talk to each other.

When the technology will make its way into cars and trucks everywhere is unclear. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has the authority to order the devices placed in all new cars, but LaHood said they'll have to study the data before making any decision. The data will be available in about a year.

In a demonstration at the Transportation Research Institute, a Volkswagen GTI equipped with a device got a signal that a car up ahead of it had braked. The warning allowed the GTI driver to slow down before seeing the brake lights on the car in front of him. The device also warned the GTI driver at a stop sign that another car was about to speed through the intersection.

Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai/Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen/Audi all are supplying vehicles and taking part in the test.

Peter Sweatman, director of the institute, said testers will look for data showing that the warnings prevented crashes. Previous tests, on a smaller scale, showed the devices can stop crashes, he said.

Technology is available so that connected cars could be on the road nationwide in under 10 years, Sweatman said.

"I think this is going to kick everything off," he said. "This is going to move everything forward."

Automakers have been adding safety devices such blind-spot warning detectors that warn a driver if there's a car in an adjoining lane, and radar-activated cruise control that can slow cars down if they're approaching an object too fast. The experiment should help tie them together, officials said.

In February, Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford called for just that in a speech to a mobile electronic device conference in Barcelona, Spain. He said the mobile device industry should join with automakers and governments to develop connected car technology to solve looming congestion and safety problems around the world.

GOP lawmaker's 'legitimate' rape comment sparks backlash

FILE - This May 17, 2011 file photo shows U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, R-Mo., announcing his candidacy??Sen. Claire McCaskill is probably having a pretty good Sunday. Her opponent in the Missouri Senate race, Republican Rep. Todd Akin, has spent most of the day backtracking after saying that victims of "legitimate rape" cannot biologically become pregnant and thus do not need access to legal abortions.

"First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy after rape] is really rare," Akin told KTVI-TV?in defense of his stand that rape victims should not be allowed to access abortions. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."

Akin said that even if a rape victim does somehow become pregnant, "I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child."

A parody account mocks Akin. (Twitter)

Akin's comments sparked a big backlash on Twitter, where the hashtag "#legitimaterape" soon became one of the most popular terms on the site. A parody account bearing Akin's headshot mocked the Congressman for his comments. McCaskill, meanwhile, also went on the attack. "As a woman and former prosecutor who handled hundreds of rape cases, I'm stunned by Rep. Akin's comments," she wrote.

Akin said in a statement that he "misspoke" in the interview. "In reviewing my off-the-cuff remarks, it's clear that I misspoke in this interview and it does not reflect the deep empathy I hold for the thousands of women who are raped and abused every year," he said. He later wrote on Twitter that "all of us understand that rape can result in pregnancy & I have great empathy for all victims. I regret misspeaking." (Indeed, a study in the American Journal of Obstetricians and Gynecologists found that rapes result in more than 32,000 pregnancies each year.)

McCaskill's campaign spent $2 million to run ads that boosted Akin as the "true conservative" during the three-way primary race for the Republican nod, which he won by six percentage points. McCaskill considered him the weakest potential challenger and wanted him to win the primary, the New York Times reported. The Democratic senator is trailing Akin by about 8 points in the polls, according to TPM's Polltracker.

EEOC issues guidance on use of criminal background checks ...

by Stephen Woods, Esq., Ogletree Deakins

In April, the EEOC issued an up??dated ?Enforcement Guidance on the Consideration of Arrest and Con??viction Records in Employment Deci??s??ions Under Title VII.? The guidance, which took effect immediately, has implications for how employers use criminal background checks to screen applicants and employees.

The document summarizes the EEOC?s long-held position that checking arrest and conviction rec??ords may have a disparate impact on individuals because of their race or national origin. ?

According to the EEOC guidance, Title VII violations may occur in two background-check situations:

Disparate treatment?when em??ployers treat criminal history differently for different applicants/employees, based on their race or national origin.

Disparate impact?when an em??ployer?s neutral background check policy or practice disproportionately affects protected individuals, unless the policy is ...(register to read more)

Breaking the Chains of Real Estate Marketing ? The LIME Magazine

Breaking the Chains of Real Estate?Marketing

School is starting, family?fun in the sun has ended and the time to get back to our professional lives has started.? As a real estate professional I am attempting to do just that and as I take those steps back into the office, I notice something ?a tad? off in the air.? What could it be?? Did the industry suffer another major shift and I fail to notice it?? Has rudeness simply replaced professionalism???Are my own PEERS staging an industry wide takeover of power and influence?

These are things that I have been asking myself the past couple of days.? And while some may be due to the frustration I feel towards those lower 80% of ?so-called? real estate sales professionals, I shudder at the thought that it is something else.

Possibly we have began to rely on technology and the current Trend more than is good for our clients.? I mean how often do we hear the word balanced as it applies to our marketing strategies?? We hear it as it relates to ?Time Management?, the National ?Budget? and our ?Personal VS. Professional? lives.? But let us not forget that as professionals that aspire to a level of success that will afford us the luxury of time with our families, we MUST heed the 10 Commandments of Real Estate Marketing.

10 Commandments of Real Estate Marketing.

  1. Thou Shall Provide the Who, What, Where, When and Why COMPONENTS of a Brand?s Message

  2. Thou Shall Provide CONSISTENCY of a Brand?s Message AT ALL TIMES

  3. Thou Shall ENGAGE?your Target Audience

  4. Thou Shall COMMUNICATE with?your Clients (Potential or Existing) in the Manner of the Clients Choosing

  5. Thou Shall RESPOND to All Inquiries in a TIMELY MANNER

  6. Thou Shall LISTEN to your Clients Needs

  7. Thou Shall RESPECT your Clients

  8. Thou Shall Become an Active Part of?Your COMMUNITY

  9. Thou Shall Embrace TECHNOLOGY

  10. Thou Shall Foster Lasting Client RELATIONSHIPS, even after the sale is completed

I call these the 10 Commandments because they are the basic rules of marketing and sales that will never change.? In the past few months I have noticed a particular disregard for #5.? I have used every tool at my disposal during this latest property search as we attempt to relocate to Orlando and there has been no response from REALTORS or Property Management Companies.? What is the point of a REALTOR or Sales Agent even having an assistant or paying for a company to provide initially response if potential new business is going to be outright ignored.? The ONLY EXCEPTION has been from Chris Robinson, of Keller Williams Realty in Orlando.

real-estateWith social media, a recovering economy and a slew of new real estate professionals working for our industry,?the real estate industry?did indeed get?over its fear?of technology and?is now using it at an alarming rate.? About 25% are now using Tablets and Smartphones and Trending Topics and Check-ins are a normal part of a REALTORS day.? Yet, it is a divergence from solid business practices and professionals are turning into spammers.

We need to start BREAKING?THE CHAINS OF REAL ESTATE MARKETING, pretend we are still in school and get back to basics with good business practices.

Drama-filled Chinese speed-skating story's Kamloops chapter

Chinese short-track speed-skating coach Li Yan would like to have her best skater back in the fold, but that decision is not up to her.

"For our team and for this sport in China, as well, we really want [her] one day to come back and compete for the country again, but we have to wait for the process," Yan told KTW.

Wang Meng, who won four gold medals at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, was dropped last August from the national team and banned from international and national competition after a physical altercation ? allegedly alcohol-fuelled ? with former team manager Wang Chunlu.

The dust-up resulted in dozens of stitches for Meng, who is not unfamiliar to controversy.

According to chinadaily.com, Meng was expelled from the national team for six months in 2007 for criticizing a coach's tactics and was last year alleged to have clashed with security guards during a night out in the southwestern Chinese city of Lijiang.

Chunlu was relieved of her duties after the altercation with Meng and replaced by Liu Hao.

The out-of-favour skater is again travelling with the national team.

Meng is in Kamloops training with the Chinese B team, which Yan said is "kind of like a provincial team."

The A team trained together at McArthur Island Sports Centre between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 16.

At 3 p.m., the B team, Meng included, took the ice and trained until 5 p.m.

Neither Yan or Hao wished to speak extensively about Meng's situation.

"She is trying really hard to prepare for the coming future, but I'm not quite sure about that," Hao said.

"It's the job of the Chinese Skating Association and also the Chinese Olympic Committee to decide."

It seems no timetable has been set for Meng's return to international competition.

Her resume is incredible.

Two medals ? one silver, one bronze ? at the 2006 Olympics in Turin, Italy, accompany the four golds she won in Vancouver.

The world-championship section of her medal mantle ? 16 gold, 14 silver and three bronze medals ? isn't lacking hardware, either.

"It's not easy for an athlete to do that," Yan said.

"For the coach, me, I wish she could come back and compete for [the] country."

Israel's immigration police detain African migrants, despite pending visa appeals

The Immigration and Population Authority has arrested three migrants from South Sudan who are seriously ill and are waiting for their asylum applications to be considered on humanitarian grounds. The three - one of whom has AIDS, another has epilepsy and the third has chronic arthritis and liver dysfunction - were arrested three days ago.

Two of the three have submitted official requests to stop their deportation, in keeping with the procedures of the Immigration and Population Authority. According to those procedures, steps are not to be taken to deport people whose applications are under review. The third person was arrested after he was sent to bring a certain medical form attesting to his condition. His application was submitted for him by the United Nations Refugee Commission.

Because the state has lifted the group protection from deportation it had accorded citizens of South Sudan in Israel, deeming it safe for them to return home, the three are asking that they be allowed to remain in Israel on medical grounds. The three say their fate is sealed if they return to their home country, considering the poor medical care available there.

The Physicians Without Borders NGO has asked the tribunal that oversees incarceration to release the three immediately and that deportation proceedings be halted. In the case of one of the asylum-seekers, the group wrote that it was his right to remain in the country in light of his medical condition. Regarding another of the three men, the group wrote: "From information conveyed to Physicians Without Borders by a representative of the U.N. Commission of Refugees, who visited him in prison, for the first two days he received no medical treatment and the medications he had were taken from him."

The group warned that "such conduct could harm the patient, especially in light of the fact that the Immigration and Population Authority is aware of his medical situation and the medications he needs were readily available."

Physicians Without Borders said it decried the man's incarceration "considering that he acted according to the Interior Ministry's own procedures in order to exercise his rights vis-a-vis the authorities. The place of such a person is not in custody, both because of his medical condition and mainly because of the fact that he is in the process of exercising his rights."

Shahar Shoham, head of the Migrants and Refugees Department of Physicians for Human Rights, said: "We are seeing a significant worsening of the attitude toward sick people who are seeking to prevent their deportation on medical grounds. What we had seen until recently is that people who submitted applications were not arrested."

However, Shoham said, despite the fact that procedure says people must not be deported while their cases are under review, and the requests of all three individuals in question are under review, they have been arrested "just to make their lives miserable and to pressure them to sign a waiver that they are leaving of their own free will."

Shoham said the medical conditions of all three are well-documented.

The Immigration and Population Authority said in response: "The applications of the three are under review even while they are being held, and there is no reason not to do so. There is medical treatment [for those] in custody. They will not be deported until there is a response to their application."

Amid pressures of daily life, more Koreans revive interest in shamanism

Shamanism, also known as Muism, hasn't always been accepted in Korea, and some still view practitioners skeptically. Still, many modern Koreans are turning to the indigenous practice for guidance.?

By Jason Strother,?Contributor / August 16, 2012

South Korean shaman Lee Soon-ae performs prayers during a shipboard ceremony intended to exorcise the demons that threaten fishermen and bring good luck to everybody on board, off Incheon, west of Seoul, on June 24. Though an ancient practice, Korean shamanism - in which singing and dancing are used in trance rituals addressed to specific gods, often to get an answer to specific questions - had long been suppressed in Asia's second most Christian nation.

The banging of drums, crashing of cymbals and blaring of a horn echo down the slope of Samgak Mountain. They?re coming from a shaman?s temple, where a goot, a spiritual rite, is underway.
?
The predominant religions in South Korea are the traditional Buddhist faith and a large Christian population, though a large segment of the population is not religious. Still, many are believers in an animistic spirituality that goes back thousands of years.

Shamanism is the indigenous faith of the Korean people, and although it has been diminished by centuries of influence from other religions and some repression, it is still intertwined with daily life among religious and nonreligious populations alike. And due to the pressures caused by the nation?s rapid development, many Koreans are turning to shamanism for guidance from the spirit world. ?

At the center of one of the temple?s rooms is a man wearing a tall hat and draped in a multi-layered red, blue, and white robe. He spins in circles, waving silk flags in one hand, a sword in another.
?
He is a mudang, a shaman priest. He carries on a tradition that is one of the most essential aspects of Korean culture.
?
?I help make people?s dreams come true,? says Tae Eul, the mudang who leads the ceremony. ?I try to figure out how the energy of the universe flows through then, the gods show the way. If god commands that their problem can be solved through a goot, I will perform a goot for them.?
?
Tae Eul is helping a woman who has fallen on some tough financial times. He has her light candles and bow in front of an altar. He summons the gods of the mountain and sky and calls out to her ancestors. At one point during the ritual, Tae Eul stands barefoot on knife blades, which somehow do not puncture his skin.
?
Some observers say an intrinsic search for spiritually divined good luck is what keeps South Korea?s 50 thousand mudangs in business. That?s according to David Mason, author of Sacred Mountains, a book on Korean shamanism.?
?
?It seems to me that many Koreans are still shamanic believers at their core, underneath. Many scholars have used this analogy, like an onion, with shamanism at the core of their psychology and then layers of Buddhism or Confucianism, then Christianity and modern scientific thinking as the outer layers,? Mr. Mason says.
?
Shamans haven?t always had a good reputation.? During the 1970s the country's government tried to get rid of shamanism, and some Koreans view practitioners skeptically and write them off as con artists. But, Tae Eul says he sees a brighter future for mudangs like himself.
?
??Our lives will become increasingly fast paced in the future,? he says.? ?I think shamans will once again be treated with respect. We can predict the future and because of that people will appreciate us more.?

California legislators shelve dozens of bills

SACRAMENTO ? State lawmakers won't have to give up free Lakers tickets, Californians won't be able to bet on Dodgers games and Olympic medalists will probably not get tax breaks, after legislators shelved dozens of bills Thursday.

Lawmakers also deep-sixed two proposals to regulate the controversial oil-extraction method known as fracking.

The casualties included a measure by Sen. Sam Blakeslee (R-San Luis Obispo) that would have prohibited groups lobbying the Legislature from providing lawmakers with free sports and concert tickets, spa treatments, golf games and other gifts.

The proposed gift ban, SB 1426, was held without discussion by a committee headed by Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Silver Lake).

"The bill was popular with voters and unpopular with special interests," said Phillip Ung, an advocate with the good-government group California Common Cause. "The result shows who won the battle."

Gatto's committee also shelved SB 1390 by Sen. Roderick Wright (D-Inglewood), which would have eventually allowed Californians to bet on professional sporting events.

The Senate Appropriations Committee tabled a proposal to exempt Olympic medals and the honorariums that go with them from state income taxes. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) questioned the wisdom of handing out tax breaks "with all our other needs and all the budget cuts we made."

Assemblyman Allan Mansoor (R-Costa Mesa) said afterward that he would try to get a rule waiver to resurrect his proposal, AB 1786.

The committee also shelved AB 972 by Assemblywoman Betsy Butler (D-Marina del Rey), which would have created a moratorium in California on fracking ? injecting the ground with chemical-laced water ? until regulators developed rules. And the panel held a bill by Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont) that would have required firms to disclose where they use the procedure and what chemicals they inject into the ground. That proposal was AB 591.

Thursday was the deadline for legislative finance committees to act on hundreds of bills still pending in the session that ends Aug. 31. About 30% of the measures were held in committee, many without discussion or votes.

Bird louse study shows how evolution sometimes repeats itself

ScienceDaily (Aug. 16, 2012) ? Birds of a feather flock together and -- according to a new analysis -- so do their lice.

A study of the genetic heritage of avian feather lice indicates that their louse ancestors first colonized a particular group of birds (ducks or songbirds, for example) and then "radiated" to different habitats on those birds -- to the wings or heads, for instance, where they evolved into different species. This finding surprised the researchers because wing lice from many types of birds look more similar to one another than they do to head or body lice living on the same birds.

The study appears in the journal BMC Biology. (Watch a video about the research.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRTqiOL65og)

Wing lice are long and narrow and insert themselves between the feather barbs of a bird's wings. This allows them to avoid being crushed or removed by a bird when it preens, said Kevin Johnson, a University of Illinois ornithologist with the state Natural History Survey. Johnson conducted the new analysis with Vincent Smith, of the Natural History Museum in London, and Illinois graduate student Scott Shreve.

"If you were just guessing at their ancestry based on external traits, you would think the wing lice on different birds were more closely related to one another than they were to head or body lice on the same bird," Johnson said. "But that's just not the case."

Each type of louse is adapted to life on a particular part of the body. Head lice are rounder than wing lice, for example, and have triangular, grooved heads. The groove helps them cling to a single feather barb so their bird host can't scratch them off.

Body lice are plump and will burrow into the downy feathers or drop from feather to feather to avoid being preened. And the lice known as generalists, which range all over the bird, have their own method of escaping preening: They run.

"The similarities between the lice living in specific habitats on the bodies of birds are really striking," Johnson said. "But it appears that those similarities are the result of what we call 'convergent evolution': The lice independently arrived at the same, or similar, solutions to common ecological problems. This occurred only after they had colonized a particular type of bird."

In the new analysis, Johnson and his colleagues drew up two family trees of feather lice. The first tree grouped the lice according to physical traits; the second mapped their genetic relationships.

The two trees looked significantly different from one another, Johnson said. The genetic tree showed that different types of feather lice living on the same type of bird were often closely related, whereas lice that had evolved to survive on specific bird parts, such as the wing, were only distantly related across bird groups, he said.

The history of feather lice turns out to be a very robust example of convergent evolution, Johnson said.

"Here we see how evolution repeats itself on different bird types," he said. "The lice are converging on similar solutions to the problem of survival in different microhabitats on the bird."

The Illinois Natural History Survey is a division of the Prairie Research Institute.
