South Florida’s water managers are releasing
thousands of fish into canals to eat plants clogging those waterways.
The South Florida Water Management District
will release about 24,400 grass carp into canals in
Fort Lauderdale and Homestead this week.
Officials say the farm-raised carp are sterile
and do not spawn.
The fish eat hydrilla, an invasive plant that is
clogging canals that the district needs clear for
flood control.
According to the state wildlife commission,
grass carp provide a low-cost, long-term, herbicide-free means of dealing with problem plants.
Hydrilla is a rapidly growing aquatic plant
with no natural predators in Florida.
The plants grow while submerged in the water
and need less sunlight than native Florida aquatic
plants.
Large amounts of hydrilla can hinder boat
navigation and alter fish populations.
Broward County residents $13.78 per year including tax.
Outside Broward County $52.50 per year including tax.

Serving Broward County, Florida
Auburn football star
shot to death
A sexual predator has won almost
$3 million from a Florida Lottery
scratch-off ticket.
Timothy Poole purchased the winning ticket last weekend at a convenience store in Mount Dora, near
Orlando.
Poole is listed on a Florida Department of Law Enforcement
website as a sexual predator.
The television station says Poole
was arrested in 1999 for on a charge
of sexually battering a 9-year-old boy.
Poole denied the allegations but
pleaded guilty to attempted sexual
battery and was sentenced to time
served in jail.
His probation was revoked in 2003
after he failed to show up for counseling sessions. He was sentenced to
three years in prison and released in
2006.
Ex-school board
member guilty of
misconduct
A former Broward County school
board member has been convicted of
official misconduct for helping developers seeking breaks on fees they
paid to the school district.
Stephanie Kraft could get up to
five years in prison when she is sentenced Dec. 22. The jury that convicted her Thursday also reached not
guilty verdicts on conspiracy, unlawful compensation and bribery
charges.
Prosecutors said Kraft and her lobbyist husband Mitch Kraft helped
two developers obtain a $500,000
break on impact fees one of their
housing projects had to pay to the
school district. In return, the Krafts
allegedly accepted $10,000 from the
developers.
Mitch Kraft has pleaded not guilty
and will stand trial separately.
Stephanie Kraft was suspended
from office in 2010 after the charges
were brought. She did not seek reelection.
Romanian gets 5+
years prison in
Florida fraud
A Romanian man has been sentenced to more than five years in
federal prison for participating in an
international fraud scheme involving marketing vehicles on websites.
The sentence was imposed Thursday by a South Florida federal judge
on 39-year-old Razvan Caprarescu
of Bucharest, Romania. He pleaded
guilty in August to charges of fraud
conspiracy and possession of a counterfeit Belgian passport.
Authorities say Caprarescue admitted listing vehicles for sale on
sites such as eBay and then directing
interested buyers to deposit money
in bank accounts. The vehicles were
fakes and the bank accounts were
opened by Caprarescue and others
using false identities.
In total, 35 victims sent
Caprarescue and other conspirators
more than $690,000 in the scheme.
Most of the money was then wired to
others overseas.
Florida debt falls

Florida’s amount of debt keeps
dropping and has now fallen to
$24.2 billion.
That’s according to an annual
report presented Tuesday to Gov.

Cabinet.
This marks the fourth year in a
row that the amount of money the
state owes has dropped. The state
debt dropped $400 million during
the fiscal year that ended on June
30.
State debt has declined $4 billion since 2010. Florida has been
borrowing less money since then
because an environmental landbuying program concluded. The

The annual costumed pub crawl featuring a horde of
sloshed Santas on the streets of Manhattan got
underway today with a lesson in the First Amendment.
Civil rights lawyer Norman Siegel addressed the
SantaCon crowd in Times Square about the
government’s right to reasonably regulate an event
that New Yorkers have complained has gotten out of
hand in past years.
The annual holiday flash-mob-meets-party fell this
year on the same day as a planned protest over killings
by police, prompting organizers to try to rein in the
rowdiness.
SantaCon organizers retained Siegel to advise on the
do’s and don’ts of public gatherings and instructed
participants to stick to bars that welcome them and
party inside instead of on the streets.
“It’s more important this year than ever to pace
yourself, watch out for your elves and stay safe,” their
website warns, adding that bad behavior may mean
the ultimate lump of coal: no SantaCon next year.
It’s a sobering message for SantaCon, which has faced
mounting pressure from politicians, police and
community groups as it has grown from hundreds to
thousands of costumed participants in roughly a
decade.
Aficionados say SantaCon is lighthearted communal
fun that tweaks the nose of Christmastime
consumerism. Participants are urged to bring gifts to
hand out or prepare performances, and organizers
stress that last year’s event raised about $60,000 for
charities.
But some residents see SantaCon as an onslaught of
crass Kringles, soused elves and anything-butgrandmotherly Mrs. Clauses. There have been two
arrests and 85 summonses for disorderly conduct,
open alcohol containers and other offenses during the
last two SantaCons, and an online video captured
people in Santa suits fighting on the evening of last
year’s SantaCon.
Last year, residents of Manhattan’s bar-filled Lower
East Side posted “SantaCon free zone” signs and local
commuter railroads began banning alcoholic drinks
on their trains during the gathering.
Auburn football player Jakell
Lenard Mitchell was fatally shot early
Sunday at an off-campus apartment
complex where two former football
players and another person man were
shot and killed in 2012.
Auburn Police Capt. Will Matthews
said police answered a call about 12:25
a.m. of shots fired at the Tiger Lodge
apartment complex, a few miles from
the campus. He said 18-year-old freshman Jakell Lenard Mitchell was taken
to a hospital in nearby Opelika, Alabama, where he was pronounced dead.
Matthews said hours later on Sunday that there had been no arrests. He
said the shooting occurred in the
complex’s parking lot and that no one
else had been shot or hurt.
Auburn University team coach Gus
Malzahn said Sunday he was “devastated and saddened” by the death of
the promising player, a halfback described by the team website as versatile on offense with blocking, catching and running skills.
“My thoughts and prayers are with
Jakell’s family and friends, who are
suffering through this senseless tragedy. I know the Auburn Family is
hurting, especially our players and
coaches, and we are going to love and
support them through this difficult
time. We have lost a member of our
family too young, too soon,”
Malzahn’s statement added.
The gated apartment complex was
quiet Sunday morning, but there were
large amounts of broken glass in the
parking lot and blue spray paint on the
Mitchell
ground where police marked possible
evidence. Auburn police watched as a
red car bearing the license plate
“Jakell” was towed away from the site
Sunday morning.
Mitchell redshirted this season for
the Auburn Tigers out of nearby
Opelika High School. Able to play
both back and tight end, he was expected to contend for a starting spot
next season, reports indicated.
Mitchell missed his senior season at
Opelika as he recovered from an ACL
injury. He had rushed for 392 yards
and 17 touchdowns in 2013 as a high
school junior.

Parrish tops Broward
broken in Keys
commission in budget battle
An appeals court has backed
Broward County Property Appraiser
Lori Parrish in what it described as a
“tug of war” with the Broward County
Commission about the property
appraiser’s budget.
The case, decided by the 4th District Court of Appeal, focused on part
of state law that leads to the Florida
Department of Revenue approving
property appraisers’ budgets. Counties have to pay for the offices’ operations, and disputes about the budgets
can be appealed to the governor and
the state Cabinet.
The lawsuit stemmed from a decision last year by the Broward County
Commission to set aside less money
for Parrish’s office than the Department of Revenue approved. The
County Commission also decided to
appeal to the governor and Cabinet,
who handle such matters while serving as the state Administration Commission.
After Parrish received a quarterly
draw of moneyfrom the county that
was less than the Department of Revenue approved, she filed a lawsuit.
The County Commission contended
that the lawsuit improperly circumvented the process of taking the dispute to the governor and Cabinet. But
a circuit judge ruled that the county
should pay the amount set by the Department of Revenue while the dis-
pute was pending with the governor
and Cabinet, and a three-judge panel
of the 4th District Court of Appeal
upheld that decision Wednesday.
Also, the appeals court noted that it
appears the governor and Cabinet will
not act on the dispute, as the 2013-14
fiscal year has now ended.
The appeals court said the Department of Revenue’s involvement in
approving property appraisers’ budgets is related to curbing political pressure in the appraisal process.
“Since raising taxes is politically
unpopular, county commissioners have
a powerful incentive to pressure their
property appraiser to arrive at higher
property valuations,” the ruling said.
After 73 days living underwater, Jessica Fain and Bruce Cantrell surfaced
the new world record holders.
“It’s so warm!” Fain said as she
basked in the sunshine.
The two have accomplished a remarkable feat. The pair dropped down
October 3rd, when the weather was 20
degrees warmer.
Over 10 weeks, they celebrated Halloween and Thanksgiving 25 feet below. The living quarters just 300 square
feet came with Wi-Fi and Netflix, every
meal was brought down by divers.
The facility and support was carried
out by Key Largo’s famed Jules Undersea Lodge. It is the only underwater
hotel in the world accessible by recreational divers.
“We thought it was going to be a lot
harder than it was. We got along great.
We didn’t have any problems. You vetoed one of my movies. Other than that
we got along fine,” Fain said.
In fact they said they would have
stayed longer if allowed too.
To keep busy, the professors beamed
out weekly classes and seminars. They
even used Skype with kids around the
world. It was is exactly what they were
after.
“If you go to a kid in elementary
school 1 through 6 and ask them what
their favorite subject is 9 out 10 will tell
you math or science. Then they go to
middle school and by the time they get
to high school nobody likes math and
science,” Cantrell explained.

Spear Fishing in the Hillsboro Inlet Pompano
We spear fished using what we
called the “Hawaiian sling. (This was
a piece of hollow bamboo rod about
16 inches long with a short piece of
surgical rubber attached to one end). A
steel rod about 3/8 of an inch in diameter about four feet long sharpened
and a notch cut in the end served as the
spear. The steel rod was inserted into
the bamboo tube, it was usually held
in the left hand with the right hand
gripping the metal rod. It was drawn
back as if using a slingshot and was
fairly accurate up to ten feet.
A facemask completed the essentials and then you were ready to go
“spear fishing.”
This is what we did when I was
growing-up in Pompano back in the
late thirty’s, forties and even into the
fifties.
Where did we go to spear fish?
We went to the ocean, sometimes
swimming out as far as the second
reef, anything farther out than that
was too deep for free diving. Remember, this was before scuba gear was
invented, and swim fins were almost
impossible to come by.
We had to make our own “spear gun
and spears.” Surgical rubber tubing
was hard to get but it was nearly indestructible, a great improvement over
automobile inner tubes that would snap
at the most inopportune moments.
One of the best places to fish
using this method was, you guessed
it, “The Hillsborough Inlet”.
The water direction changed one
hundred eighty degrees every six
hours, and that didn’t leave a whole
lot of time to do any serious diving
which could only be successful on
the incoming tide and then only after it had been coming in for at least
30 to 40 minutes. This was to clear
up the discolored water that had lingered just outside the inlet when the
outgoing current changed its direc-
tion.
The incoming water would feed
from the north and the discolored
water going out would always turn
south and the clean clear water
would make for good visibility and
this change of tide always resulted
in fish riding in on the swift current.
Robert Mitchel and I usually fished
together and our procedure never varied much. We would wade out the
mouth of the inlet walking on the shallow rocks that most often were just
below the surface and on an extremely
low tide some parts of it would stickup
out of the water for several inches.
These rocks were really dead reefs
that over the years had reached a hardness that made it almost impossible to
break up and they made a bridge from
the north side of the inlet curving out
into the ocean and to the south for a
distance of about 150 feet into the lee
of the southside shore.
They made a natural breakwater
and the sand that flowed down from
the north was either deposited in the
inlet with much of it being transferred
to the south side and the rest moving
slowly southward and building up the
beaches as it went.
None of the sand ever “stuck” to
this dead reef, the reason being the
current was too swift to let it pile up.
It was on these rocks we would
start our trip, propelled along by the
current. Dropping down into the deeper
water on the north side of the rocks,
we would slowly drift along keeping a
wary eye out for small nurse and reef
sharks and being especially watchful
for barracudas.
Local barracudas were unpredictable, especially the mid size ones
(3-4 feet) they would suddenly appear out of nowhere and would lie
perfectly still with only their small
fins slowly moving to keep them
from being moved along by the current.
Pioneers
by Bud Garner
The problems with barracuda
grew when and if a fish was speared.
If there was a fish on the end of a
spear then you could count on at
least one and sometimes more would
make a swift dash and very quickly
snare the fish and be gone before the
fish could be removed.
Moving along these rocks we encountered multiple holes and small
caverns in the rocks. Many small
fish used these places to seek safety
and the predator fish knew this as
well as we did. These holes made
for good fishing, for us, for the snapper, grouper, the sand perch, lobsters and for the bad guys, the barracudas and small sharks and Moray
eels.
The current became swifter as
the minutes went by and when we
reached the rocks that were out of
the water on the point on the north
side of the inlet, we swam deeper
and approached these rocks. The
current was not as strong here and
we found this out by fishing here in
the past.
The rocks that make up this cluster were really hard with many sharp
points sticking up.
They were about three to four
feet above the water and then on the
ocean side of these rocks at their
base were

state has also been able to refinance

huge holes in the bottom of the
ocean, some were in the rocks themselves and some looked as if they were
dug out of the sand.
These holes extended downward
for as much as twenty feet. If one saw
a large fish over or in these holes, then
the question was, shall I shoot at it, if
I hit the fish, there will surely be a
barracuda close by and that would
probably get the fish.
Another even more chilling thought
would enter the equation, if I shoot
and miss, then that spear would be
down twenty or more feet and it would
be up to me to go after it and there
again, the barracudas are still around
and you just never know what they
would do.
You can’t imagine what it feels like
to go down into one of these holes,
retrieve the spear, start up and see a
huge barracuda between you and the
surface.
Getting back to the huge rocks making up this formation one only had to
swim down and look under these rocks
and there were huge caverns about
three to four feet high, six to eight feet
down and going who knows how far
under these rocks is anybody’s guess
and the holes were just teeming with
fish.
The waves made a surging motion
and if one were going to enter these
“holes” then care would have to be
taken to prevent being slammed up
and into these razor sharp rocks.
The time one would spend in there
was determined by just how long one
could hold their breath.
A diver had to get out with enough
lung capacity to back out and swim for
the surface, needless to say, all who
dove these holes had at one time or the
other “cut it close”.
Fishing was generally good under
the rocks, however there were other
dangers other than barracudas and razor sharp rocks.
One such incident happened to a
good friend of mine while diving under these rocks.
He encountered a small, 3-4 foot
long nurse shark and the shark was
busily hunting lunch and my friend,
probably without even thinking,
grabbed the shark by its tail and started
pulling it backwards.
Suddenly the shark twisted around
and took a bite out of the inside of my
friend’s leg high enough to cause him
concerns. He turned the shark loose
and the shark took off.
So, we all learned a lesson from
this. Don’t mess with nurse sharks
even if they are small.
We would then swim out into the
current to the south side of the rocks
and there were hardly ever any fish
along the sandy channel leading to the
Coast Guard dock that was even with
the lighthouse.
Swimming along the south side of
the north channel the water was quite
deep 10-12 feet, the banks were made
up of a semi-ridge like matter that
resembled a huge sponge with large
openings, these openings were about
6 inches in diameter and went back
into the bank 16/18 inches and they
were full of fish.
Most were small but there were
some rather large snapper, grouper,
moray eels, lobster and hundreds of
sand perch.
There again, we would encounter
the barracudas, they never seemed to
change their tactics, wait and watch
and then dart - very scary.
One of these trips usually lasted a
couple of hours, and by the time we
reached the inlet bridge, we were pretty
tired and usually had all the fish we
wanted.
If we decided to make another run,
the changing of the tide would often
overtake us and the water became
murky, so generally, we would wait
for another time.
I enjoyed the times we spent swimming and wading and diving off the
inlet bridge, plus climbing up and down
the steps of the lighthouse where we
would go to watch for rays on the
incoming tide.
When spotting one, we would run
down to the little row boat, go into the
inlet, jump out of the boat on top of the
ray and wrestle it into the boat.
We never harmed the ray and would
always turn it loose.
And this is how we spent many
summer days growing up in Pompano.
Like most kids, we were not mindful of the perils of swimming in the
inlet.
This was the very same place that
Ed Hamilton, (the Barefoot Mailman)
apparently lost his life while attempting to cross.
The vegetative growth, I am sure
wasn’t the same then as it was when
we swam there, however there were
no homes or buildings nearby and to
the south and east of the inlet, there
were large growths of mangroves and
other types of vegetation that could
hide the many dangers.
The Hillsborough club and the
Coast Guard/lighthouse keeper ’s
houses were built on the north side
and they were well hidden by shrubs,
with the bridge tenders house on the
southwest side of the inlet.
Other dangers of the inlet were the
presence of alligators and occasionally salt water crocodile, shark, rattlesnakes and water moccasins.
Were we fortunate to have been
able to do these things that are forbidden today, yes we were and more fortunate to have lived to tell about.
Spacecraft to
Pluto awake 9
Years after launch
A drawing shows the New Horizons spacecraft approaching Pluto and
its largest moon, Charon, in July 2015.
A drawing shows the New Horizons spacecraft approaching Pluto and
its largest moon, Charon, in July 2015.
NASA
A spacecraft is set to awake from
hibernation soon as it prepares for its
upcoming close encounter with Pluto.
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft
is set to awake on Dec. 6 from the last
of its 18 hibernation periods and prepare for its initial approach towards
Pluto, which will take place on Jan.
15. The spacecraft is scheduled to come
as close as 6,200 miles from the surface of Pluto on July 14, 2015 — the
closest any man-made object has come
to the dwarf planet. The mission marks
the first visit outside Neptune’s orbit
to the Kuiper Belt, which consists of
Pluto and thousands of objects that
have not yet been identified, according to Spaceflight Now, a space news
website.
“This is the first look at this new
zone of rocky, icy planets,” Michael
Buckley, a public information officer
for John Hopkins University Applied
Physics Laboratory told ABC News.
“This is what New Horizons is supposed to do.”
New Horizons is currently 2.9 billion miles from earth and was launched
in January 2006 atop an Atlas V rocket.
Pluto at the time was still considered a
planet, with scientists later that year
voting to demote its status to that of a
dwarf planet.
The spacecraft has over the last
nine years frequently gone into hibernation for various amounts of time
ranging from 36 to 202 days, all of
which adds up to five years in total, to
help conserve power and allow scientists time to make plans for its exploration in space. It transmits a beep
once a week to alert scientists that it is
still functioning properly. Once awakened on Dec. 6, New Horizons will
transmit radio signals that will reach
the Mission’s control center, located
at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland,
in about four hours at 9 p.m. eastern
time.
Scientists plan to use the next six
weeks after it wakes to check its
memory, navigation and other functions, starting the observation phase
in January, taking photos and measurements of the dwarf planet and its
moons while also observing its atmosphere and how it interacts with the
sun.
“This is really quite an epic journey,” Alan Stern, the lead investigator
for the New Horizons mission from
the Southwest Research Institute in
Boulder, Colo., told Spaceflight Now.
“Three billion miles across the entirety of our planetary system, from
the inner planets to the middle solar
system to the third zone — the Kuiper
belt — and for the first time. No voyage like this has been conducted since
the epic days of Voyager, and nothing
like it is planned again.”
The observation period will continue until April, with scientists predicting to have very clear imagery of
the planet and its surroundings by May,
better than those of the Hubble Space
Telescope. New Horizon’s will transmit the information throughout 2015
and most of 2016, ending transmission late that year, according to Spaceflight Now.
Scientists are hoping that NASA
will continue to fund and extend the
mission to allow for further exploration.
“The hope is that it will encounter
one other Kuiper Belt object,” Buckley
said.
Police say a 92-year-old man who
drove his car into a lake near his
home has died.
Officials say Salvatore Mancuso
died Friday at a Port St. Lucie hospital, two days he crashed his car
into a lake less than a half-mile
from his home.
Three Good Samaritans jumped
into the lake and worked to rescue
Mancuso. They pulled him to shore
and gave him CPR until rescue units
arrived and took him to the hospital.
It was about 1 p.m. on Wednesday when Mancuso’s silver Lincoln
went over the median, skipped a
curb and landed in the lake.
Two men saw the crash from a
restaurant and ran to help. Another
man who was walking by joined
them.
An autopsy will be conducted to
determine the cause of death.
SeaWorld laying
off more than 300
workers
SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. is
laying off more than 300 workers, a
day after its CEO announced he is
stepping down.
Spokesman Fred Jacobs said Friday 311 workers would be laid off
from the company’s Orlando headquarters and its 11 parks.
The company has 4,500 fulltime
workers and 7,300 part-timers.
The layoffs come a day after CEO
Jim Atchison announced he is stepping down as head of the company.
SeaWorld’s chairman was named the
company’s interim leader.
Attendance at its theme parks has
been weak since the recession and
has dropped in three of the past four
quarters.
SeaWorld has also been battling
negative publicity related to care of
its animals, since the release of
“Blackfish” last year.
The documentary suggested the
captivity of killer whales may have
led to the death of a trainer.
Panther attacks on
livestock, pets up
in 2014 in Collie
Wildlife officials say the population of endangered Florida panthers
is recovering, but that has increased
the chances of interactions between
humans and the big cats.
Panthers typically prey on wildlife such as deer, wild hogs or small
mammals. However, they also sometimes prey on livestock and pets.
According to the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission,
there have been a record 32 panther
attacks on pets and livestock in 2014.
All occurred in Collier County.
Officials say those events led to
the deaths of more than 50 animals.
The conservation commission’s
panther team leader says small livestock animals can be protected in
secure, covered enclosures, and pets
should be kept inside at night or
locked in panther-proof pens.
Additional support is available
for livestock and pet owners who
need assistance.
Detectives try to
ID ‘old school’
burglar
Man caught on security camera
burglarizing Pompano Beach home
Broward Sheriff ’s Office detectives are trying to identify a man
who burglarized a Pompano Beach
home but was oblivious to the security camera that gave deputies a good
look at his face.
The burglary occurred on the afternoon of Nov. 20 at a home near
Norwood Pines Park.
Deputies released the video Friday in the hopes that the public will
recognize the man.
The surveillance video shows a
silver sport utility vehicle pull up in
the driveway. A man wearing a shirt
that reads “I am old school” in red
lettering exits the SUV and walks to
the front door, pretending to be a
visitor.
After nobody answers his knock
on the door, the man can be seen
wiping away his fingerprints, putting on gloves and pulling something out of his pocket. A few minutes later, the man pries open the
door and walks inside.
Detectives said he got away with
a box containing the victim’s jewelry.
On his way out, the man turns
around once more to make sure the
door is closed.
Florida tribes are
reviewing policy
on marijuana
It’s unclear what effect a new
U.S. Justice Department policy regarding marijuana and Indian tribes
will have in Florida.
The government announced this
week that Indian tribes can grow
and sell marijuana on their lands so
long as they follow the same federal
conditions laid out for states that
have legalized the drug.
The announcement is “not on the
S e m i n o l e Tr i b e ’s r a d a r, ” t r i b e
spokesman Gary Bitner said.
A Miccosukee Tribe spokesman
says the policy is being reviewed,
but he declined further comment.
A spokesman for Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi says she’s
also reviewing the announcement.
Some advocates say the Justice
Department’s announcement could
give rise to a rich new business on
reservations, not unlike the advent
of casino gambling.
However, many tribes oppose legalization.
Outgoing UF
president to stay
on as adviser
Outgoing University of Florida
president Bernie Machen is staying
on as a senior adviser at the school
to aid incoming president Kent
Fuchs and raise money.
Machen’s new 5-year contract
will earn him $3.9 million, all of it
paid by private funds.
The new contract will save taxpayers $2.63 million that was owed
to Machen in his existing contract.
Board of Trustees Chairman Steve
Scott says the new contract keeps
Machen’s expertise and fundraising
abilities at the school, while saving
public money.
Machen will also be given the
title of president emeritus, which
only one past UF president has received.
Former chief won’t
be charged in
speed trap case
Prosecutors will not file criminal
charges against the former chief of
a tiny north Florida town who ordered his officers to enforce a ticket
quota.
State Attorney Bill Cervone an-
nounced the decision in a letter to
the Florida Department of Law Enforcement after looking at an investigative report into Waldo’s police
department and chief.
Waldo, a town between Jacksonville and Gainesville that is known
as a notorious speed trap, disbanded
its police department Oct. 1.
The move came after allegations
that the former chief illegally recorded conversations with an officer and instituted ticket quotas.
Cervone said that ticket quotas
are not illegal in Florida and that no
evidence existed of criminal wrongdoing in the recordings.
US seeks half-off
prison term for
Rothstein figure
Federal prosecutors are asking a
judge to cut in half the prison term
imposed on a woman deeply involved in ex-lawyer Scott
Rothstein's $1.2 billion Ponzi
scheme because of her extensive
cooperation.
Court documents filed Monday
seek to reduce Debra Villegas' sentence from 10 to five years. Villegas

about what happened, but residents
described hearing gunfire and
screams.
Auburn Police investigate a
shooting at the Tiger Lodge apartments in Auburn, Ala., early Sunday
mor …
Drake Ledet, an Auburn sophomore who lives in an apartment near
the scene of the shooting, said he
heard several gunshots shortly after
midnight.
“I’d say it was at least eight
(shots),” Ledet said, adding he
looked outside to see what was happening. “People were screaming ...
I saw people scattering everywhere,
getting in their cars.”
Ledet and other residents said
there were two parties going on Saturday night at the complex.
Students had just finished with
final exams on Friday and winter
graduation ceremonies were held
Saturday.
Jeremy Johnson, Auburn’s backup
quarterback, was one of those who
drove up before midday Sunday to
quietly see the site and remember
Mitchell. Johnson said he wasn’t
present at the time of the shooting,
but wanted to come by after learning of his teammate’s death.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Johnson
said, growing emotional. “Jakell was
a real good kid.”
Auburn Director of Athletics Jay
Jacobs called the shooting a “terrible tragedy” in a statement.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out
to Jakell Mitchell’s family and those
who have been impacted by this terrible tragedy. This is a very trying
time for those close to Jakell, including the student-athletes,
coaches, staff and Auburn Family.
We will provide counseling and support and do everything we can to
help them through the grieving process,” he said.
Sunday’s shooting happened at
the same apartment complex where
authorities say Desmonte Leonard
killed three men at a party in the
summer of 2012.
The complex, located a few miles
from campus, is popular with students.
Its name was changed following
the 2012 shooting.
Jurors convicted Leonard of capital murder in the shooting deaths of
former Auburn football players Ed
Christian and Ladarious Phillips
along with DeMario Pitts.
Three other people were
wounded.
Leonard’s attorney said that 2012
shooting stemmed from a fight and
that Leonard fired in self-defense.
Prosecutors argued that Leonard
aimed at the victims and wasn’t involved in the initial fight.
Leonard will be sentenced on Jan.
20. The jury recommended life without parole, but the judge could still
sentence him to death.
At least one Tiger Lodge resident
said he wanted to move from the
complex.
“There have been four people
killed here. Once again this place is
on the national news,” said junior
Barrett Kearens.

Robotic surgery for
head and neck cancer
In a groundbreaking new study,
UCLA researchers have advanced a
robotic surgical technique to successfully access a previously unreachable
area of the head and neck.
This pioneering method can now
be used safely and efficiently in patients to remove tumors that many
times were previously considered inoperable, or that necessitated the use
of highly-invasive surgical techniques
in combination with chemotherapy or
radiation therapy.
Developed
by
Dr. Abie
Mendelsohn, UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center member and
director of head and neck robotic surgery at UCLA, this new approach provides the surgical community with a
leading-edge technology roadmap to
treat patients who had little or no hope
of living cancer-free lives.
“This is a revolutionary new approach that uses highly advanced technology to reach the deepest areas of
the head and neck,” said Mendelsohn,
lead author of the study. “Patients can
now be treated in a manner equivalent
to that of a straightforward dental procedure and go back to leading normal,
healthy lives in a matter of days with
few or even no side effects.”
The parapharyngeal space is pyramid-shaped area that lies near the base
of the human skull and connects several deep compartments of the head
and neck. It is lined with many large
blood vessels, nerves and complex
facial muscles, making access to the
space via traditional surgical options
often impossible or highly invasive.
Current surgical techniques can
necessitate external incisions be made
to the patient’s neck, or the splitting of
their jaw bone or areas close to the
voice box. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are also often required,
further complicating recovery and
potentially putting patients at risk for
serious (or even lethal) side effects.
Approved by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration in 2009, Trans
Oral Robotic Surgery (or TORS) utilizes the Da Vinci robotic surgical
system, the state-of-the-art technology that was developed at UCLA by
the specialized surgical program for
the head and neck. TORS uses a minimally invasive procedure in which a
surgical robot, under the full control
Immunizing schoolkids
fights flu in others
Mathematical models predicted it,
and now a University of Florida study
confirms it: Immunizing school-aged
children from flu can protect other
segments of the population, as well.
When half of 5- to 17-year-old children in Alachua County were vaccinated through a school-based program,
the entire age group’s flu rates decreased by 79 percent.
Strikingly, the rate of influenzalike illness among 0-4 year olds went
down 89 percent, despite the fact that
this group was not included in the
school-based vaccinations. Among all
non-school-aged residents, rates of
influenza-like illness decreased by 60
percent.
“The effect of school-based vaccination was profound, both on the students and on the community,” said
Cuc Tran, a doctoral student in public
health at UF and a lead author in the
study.
The results can help communities
decide how to effectively allocate
funding, doses of flu vaccine and
awareness campaigns to protect the
most people, Tran said. Flu kills thousands of Americans each year, but
even when it isn’t fatal, flu takes a
toll: The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention estimate an annual cost
of $10.4 billion in hospitalizations and
outpatient visits related to flu.
With 38 million school days a year
lost to flu, the UF study likely will
catch the attention of school districts
nationwide, said Nichole Bobo, director of nursing education for the National Association of School Nurses.
“Stakeholders in school districts see
of a specially trained physician, operates with a three-dimensional, highdefinition video camera and robotic
arms.
These miniature “arms” can navigate through the small, tight and delicate areas of a person’s mouth without
the need for external incisions.
A retraction system allows the surgeon to see the entire surgical area at
once. While working at an operating
console just steps away from the
patient’s bed, every movement of the
surgeon's wrists and fingers are transformed into movements of the surgical instruments.
Over the course of the robotic
program’s development, Mendelsohn
refined, adapted and advanced the
TORS techniques to allow surgical
instruments and the 3-D imaging tools
to at last reach and operate safely
within the parapharyngeal space and
other recessed areas of the head and
neck.
Currently, Mendelsohn’s new procedure largely benefits patients with
tumors located in the throat near the
tonsils and tongue, but it continues to
be adapted and expanded in scope and
impact.
“We are tremendously excited about
the possibilities for the surgical community with this new advancement of
TORS,” said Mendelsohn. “Now patients have options they never had
before, and we can even develop potential applications for the procedure
beyond the surface of the head and
neck.”
In 2012, David Alpern received
devastating news. He was diagnosed
with throat cancer, and the treatment
options given to him by his doctors
sounded worse than the disease.
“They described a procedure where
your face is split in half and it’s basically reconstructive surgery. I was
completely freaked out,” said Alpern,
a husband and father of two.
After careful examination and imaging at UCLA, Mendelsohn determined that Alpern was a perfect candidate for TORS. Alpern was up and
about just days after the procedure.
Like the more than 100 similar TORS
surgeries performed with Mendelsohn
at the controls, Aplern’s tumor was
removed and he’s now cancer free.
“I try not to get too cocky or excited
that I beat cancer, but I think I did,”
Alpern said. “There are no side effects
at this point. My hopes are just to
watch my kids grow up and enjoy my
family and my life.”
the connection between health and
learning,” she said.
Add in the indirect protection, she
said, and “you’re able to keep staff in
school and parents at work.”
The study is the first to show such
pronounced indirect protection among
the very young.
While babies under 6 months old
are susceptible to flu, they cannot be
vaccinated. The same goes people with
health conditions that prevent them
from being immunized.
“It allows us to protect those who
can’t otherwise be protected,” Tran
said.
Beginning in 2006, a pilot program
– initiated by UF in partnership with
county schools, community organizations and the Florida Department of
Health – provided free flu vaccines,
delivered via a nasal spray, to publicschool students. The study data came
from the 2011-12 and 2012-13 influenza seasons.
There are a few reasons to focus flu
prevention on schoolchildren: When
they get flu, they get sick longer and
shed more of the virus through their
less-than-perfect hygiene habits, making them more likely to infect others.
They also interact with more people
each day than most adults do, providing more opportunity to spread flu.
The UF study shows that getting
school-aged kids immunized can pay
dividends throughout the community,
said Dr. Parker Small Jr., a co-founder
of the study and a professor emeritus
in UF’s Emerging Pathogens Institute.
“Flu is the last pandemic killer of
mankind,” Small said. “Just look at all
of the energy devoted to thinking and
planning about Ebola. If that same
energy was put into flu, you could be
saving thousands of lives and billions
of dollars.”
(Dis)connected: Study suggests technology
interferes with couple relationships
Technology's interference in everyday life -- "technoference" -- appears to negatively relate to relationship and personal wellbeing, according to researchers.
Brandon T. McDaniel,
a doctoral candidate in
human development and
family studies at Penn
State, coined the term
"technoference" to describe the everyday intrusions and interruptions in couple interactions that take place due
to the technology devices
and their always-on and
ever-present nature.
McDaniel
and
Brigham
Young
University's Sarah M. Coyne have examined the frequency of technoference
in romantic relationships and whether
these everyday interruptions relate to
women's personal and relational wellbeing.
"In recent years, studies have been
looking at the ways in which media
use may develop into problematic or
addictive use for some individuals and
how this may negatively influence relationships, but we were interested in
thinking more broadly about the sub-
ject, expanding it to look at all everyday interruptions that may occur due
to technology devices such as cell
phones, smartphones, tablets, TVs and
computers," said McDaniel.
Participants were 143 married/cohabiting women who completed an
online questionnaire.
The majority perceived that technology devices such as computers, cell
or smartphones, or television frequently interrupted leisure time, conversations and mealtimes with their
partners.
"It is clear that interruptions would
likely be more frequent in a relation-
ship where one or both partners have
developed addiction-like tendencies
for checking their devices or playing
games, but even normal
everyday use of technology can potentially
cause interruptions -many times completely
unintentionally," said
McDaniel.
Overall, participants
who
rated
more
technoference in their relationships also reported
more conflict over technology use, lower relationship satisfaction,
more depressive symptoms and lower life satisfaction.
"It's a wake-up call to
me because I realized I'm doing this
too," said Coyne, associate professor
of family life at BYU. "That's insane
to say that as a professional who researches this, but we can let these
devices overrule our entire lives if we
allow it."
"We should all stop to think about
whether our own daily technology use
might be frustrating at times to our
family members. Couples should talk
about this and set some mutually
agreed upon rules.
E-cigarettes less addictive
E-cigarettes appear to be less addictive than cigarettes for former
smokers and this could help improve
understanding of how various nicotine delivery devices lead to dependence, according to researchers.
"We found that e-cigarettes appear to be less
addictive than tobacco
cigarettes in a large
sample of long-term users," said Jonathan
Foulds, professor of public health sciences and
psychiatry, Penn State
College of Medicine.
The popularity of e-cigarettes,
which typically deliver nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerin and flavorings
through inhaled vapor, has increased
in the past five years. There are currently more than 400 brands of "ecigs" available. E-cigs contain far
fewer cancer-causing and other toxic
substances than cigarettes, however
their long-term effects on health and
nicotine dependence are unknown.
To study e-cigarette dependence,
the researchers developed an online
survey, including questions designed
to assess previous dependence on cigarettes and almost identical questions
to assess current dependence on ecigs. More than 3,500 current users of
e-cigs who were ex-cigarette smokers
completed the Penn State Cigarette
Dependence Index and the Penn State
Electronic Cigarette Dependence Index.
Higher nicotine concentration in e-
cig liquid, as well as use of advanced
second-generation e-cigs, which deliver nicotine more efficiently than
earlier "cigalikes," predicted dependence. Consumers who had used e-
cigs longer also appeared to be more
addicted.
"However, people with all the characteristics of a more dependent e-cig
user still had a lower e-cig dependence score than their cigarette dependence score," Foulds said. "We
think this is because they're getting
less nicotine from the e-cigs than they
were getting from cigarettes."
Although many regular users on ecigarettes are trying to quit smoking,
the Food and Drug Administration has
not approved them for this use, and
they cannot be marketed as a smoking
cessation product.
"This is a new class of products
that's not yet regulated," Foulds said.
"It has the potential to do good and
help a lot of people quit, but it also has
the potential to do harm. Continuing
to smoke and use e-cigarettes may not
reduce health risks. Kids who have
never smoked might begin nicotine
Physicians make more money
by ordering more procedures
“There probably shouldn’t be such
wide variation in services for patients
being treated for the same conditions,”
says the author of the research letter.
In results they characterized as
“very surprising,” UCLA researchers
found for the first time that higherearning clinicians make more money
by ordering more procedures and services per patient rather than by seeing
more patients, which may not be in
patients’ best interest.
The researchers, from UCLA’s department of urology and the Veterans
Health Administration, examined the
amount Medicare was billed and the
amount paid to clinicians. “Medicare
spending is the biggest factor, crowding out investment in all other social
priorities,” said Dr. Jonathan Bergman,
the research letter’s first author and an
assistant professor of urology and family medicine at the David Geffen
School of Medicine at UCLA.
“With clinicians making more not
by seeing more unique patients, but by
providing more services per person,
additional research needs to be done
to determine if these additional services are contributing to improved
quality of care,” Bergman said. “These
findings suggest that the current health
care reimbursement model — fee-forservice — may not be creating the
correct incentives for clinicians to keep
their patients healthy. Fee-for-service
may not be the most reasonable way to
reimburse physicians.”
addiction with e-cigs. There's a need
for a better understanding of these
products.
"We don't have long-term health
data of e-cig use yet, but any common
sense analysis says that
e-cigs are much less
toxic. And our paper
shows that they appear
to be much less addictive, as well. So in both
measures they seem to
have advantages when
you're concerned about
health."
"We might actually
need e-cigarettes that
are better at delivering nicotine because that's what's more likely to help
people quit," Foulds said.
Previous research shows that nicotine replacement efficacy correlates
with higher nicotine dose and faster
delivery speed.
"People smoke fewer cigarettes today but are still clearly addicted, and
the old scale -- while still reasonably
effective -- was not designed to measure that," Foulds said.
The new questionnaire also allows
for cross-comparisons between different nicotine and tobacco products.
"Not only are e-cigs a booming
industry, but new tobacco products
are set to enter the market soon,"
Foulds said. "Our questionnaire is
designed to compare dependence
across different products simply by
substituting the different product name
into the questionnaire in place of cigarettes."
Bergman, who also is a urologist
and bioethicist at the VA Greater Los
Angeles Healthcare System, believes
the review of Medicare data is important because of its potential impact on
public policy.
“Our findings suggest a weakness
in fee-for-service medicine,” he said.
“Perhaps it would make more sense to
reimburse clinicians for providing
high-quality care, or for treating more
patients. There probably shouldn’t be
such wide variation in services for
patients being treated for the same
conditions.”
Further research will need to be
done to assess if treatment outcomes
differ between those who had more
services ordered and those who had
fewer. This may also show a clearer
view of how to best target resources to
maximize value for patients, Bergman
said.
Going forward, Bergman and his
team will look at alternative payment
models, such as those used at Veterans
Affairs facilities and in “safety net”
hospitals, to see if they make more
sense than fee-for-service plans.
The research letter reported: “The
goals of payment reform are currently
unrealized, as evidenced in these data.
Physicians take an oath to care for
patients using ‘appropriate means and
appropriate ends,’ focusing on what is
best for the patient, and this centuriesold oath still resonates with graduates
of medical school classes. Rather than
react to externalities imposed by payers, clinicians can lead the movement
toward a high-value, patient-centered
care. We are uniquely empowered to
ensure that all individuals access the
procedures they need, and are not exposed to those they don’t.”
As gay marriage gains voter acceptance,
study illuminates one possible reason
Conventional wisdom holds that
changing the views of voters on divisive issues is difficult if not impossible — and that when
change does occur, it
is almost always temporary.
But
Michael
LaCour, a UCLA doctoral candidate in political science, and
Donald Green, a Columbia University political science professor, have demonstrated that a single
conversation can go a
long way toward
building lasting support for a controversial social issue. In
addition — nearly as surprisingly —
the effect tends to spill over to friends
and family members.
The key is putting voters in direct
contact with individuals who are directly affected by the issue.
“You forget the message, but you
remember the messenger,” said
LaCour, the study’s lead author, who
also is a researcher at UCLA’s California Center for Population Research.
The issue LaCour and Green were
studying was Americans’ support for
gay marriage, but LaCour is in the
process of replicating the results with
another hot-button issue, abortion
rights.
He hopes to eventually test whether
a similar approach could shift people’s
attitudes toward undocumented immigrants.
The project unfolded in 2013, during the month leading up to a U.S.
Supreme Court decision that effectively overturned California’s Proposition 8, which had outlawed samesex marriage in 2008. The study evaluated a long-standing door-to-door campaign in support of gay marriage by
the nonprofit Los Angeles LGBT Center.
LaCour and Green began by identifying California precincts that had
supported the ban on gay marriage,
eventually settling on an especially
conservative area of Southern Cali-
fornia. They then used voter rolls to
invite every voter in those precincts,
as well as their housemates, to partici-
pate in an Internet survey on politics,
including only two questions about
support for same-sex marriage. (Involving housemates in the study would
later allow the researchers to measure
whether changes in voters’ attitudes
ultimately influence those in their social networks.)
Eventually, researchers would survey the same 9,500 voters four times
over the course of a year. Within three
weeks conventional wisdom kicked
in: Support for gay marriage among
the voters who had been approached
by straight canvassers retreated to
where it had originally been; any effect of the conversation had been wiped
out.
Among voters who had been approached by gay canvassers, however,
the attitude shift persisted. In fact,
support for gay marriage among that
group grew even further when the
Supreme Court handed down its decision — jumping an additional seven
percentage points. The researchers also
found that among these voters’ the
support remained a year later.
Green, a 27-year veteran researcher
and author of four books and more
than 100 studies, couldn’t believe what
LaCour had found. So he advised him
to rerun the experiment. The second
round replicated the original results.
“Previously, I’ve been really pessimistic about the prospect of changing
someone’s views, and that kind of
pessimism suffuses much of the research on attitude change,” Green said.
“But the results of our study
convinced me that enduring change is possible.
They’re eye-popping.”
Housemates of voters
who spoke to straight canvassers didn’t change their
attitudes on gay marriage.
But the housemates of voters who had spoken with
the gay canvassers registered a three percentagepoint increase, and their
support for gay marriage
continued to rise throughout the following year, especially after the decision.
“This suggested to us
that views were being reinforced by
conversations going on in the household,” Green said.
By the end of the year, support for
gay marriage drifted slightly upward
among the other voters in the study.

A Little Wisdom
Don’t argue with an idiot.
People watching may not be able to tell the difference.
Bruce Frenkel
Seek to Balance "Risk
Tolerance" and "Required Risk"
Like everyone else, you have financial goals. To help achieve these goals,
you may need to invest — and when you invest, you’ll need to take on some
risk. But the more you understand this risk, and the better you are at managing
it, the greater your potential for staying invested for the long term.
To begin with, then, take a look at these terms:
Risk tolerance — Your risk tolerance is essentially your comfort level with
taking risk. For example, if you have a high tolerance for risk, you may be
comfortable investing aggressively. Conversely, if you tend to be risk-averse,
you might lean more toward more conservative investment vehicles that offer
greater protection of principal.
Required risk — While the term “required risk” may sound odd, it is
actually an integral component of your ability to invest successfully. Basically, your required risk is the level of risk necessary to help you achieve your
investment goals. The higher the return necessary to reach those goals, the
more potential risk you’ll need to assume.
As you invest, you’ll need to balance these two aspects of risk. For
example, what might happen if you have a low risk tolerance, leading you
toward “safer,” low-growth investments, but your goal is to retire early? For
most people, this goal requires them to invest in vehicles that offer significant
growth potential, such as stocks. And, as you know, investing in stocks entails
risk — specifically, the risk that your stocks will lose value. So in this
situation, your risk tolerance — the fact that you are risk-averse — is going
to collide with your required risk level, the amount of risk you are going to
need to take (by investing in stocks) to achieve your goal of early retirement.
When such a collision occurs, you have two choices. First, you could
“stretch” your risk tolerance and accept the need to take on riskier investments
in exchange for the growth potential you will require. Your other choice is to
stay within your risk tolerance and adjust your ultimate goal — which, in this
example, may mean accepting a later retirement date.
Obviously, this is a personal decision. However, you may have more
flexibility than you might have imagined. For instance, you might feel that you
should be risk-averse because you have seen so many fluctuations in the
financial markets. But if you have many decades to go until you retire, you
actually do have time to recover from short-term losses, which means you may
be able to reasonably handle more volatility. On the other hand, once you’re
retired, you won’t have as many years to bounce back from market downturns,
so you’ll have less “risk capacity” than you did when you were younger.
In any case, by balancing your risk tolerance and your required risk level
— and by understanding your risk capacity — you can be better prepared to
take the emotion out of investing. When investors let their emotions get the
better of them, they can make mistakes such as chasing “hot” stocks or selling
quality investments due to temporary price drops. By having a clear sense of
what risk really entails, however, you may be able to avoid costly detours —
and stick with your long-term investment strategy.

Judge considers deal for
mother who drove her kids
into ocean
A Florida judge will consider a deal
for a South Carolina mother who drove
her kids into the ocean in her minivan
during a hearing in Daytona Beach.
Prosecutors and Ebony Wilkerson's
attorney are presenting the deal to
Judge Leah Case Friday morning.
Under the proposed terms,
Wilkerson will plead not guilty by
reason of insanity to three counts of
child abuse and prosecutors will drop
three counts of attempted murder.
Wilkerson's attorney says the proposed deal was reached after a psychologist hired by prosecutors agreed
with a defense psychologist that
Wilkerson had a psychotic break during the incident.
Wilkerson, of Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina, drove her van into the surf
off Daytona Beach in March. Bystanders and officers pulled her and her
children from the van as it was almost
submerged.

Manchanda says the coming year
will see consumers converging toward
solutions that cherry pick and combine the best from each domain—
online, offline and mobile.
For example, consumers love placing orders on the go but find it hard to
wait for delivery at home. So winning
companies will be ones that offer complete "mix and match" solutions (order via an app on the phone that integrates payment as well and pick up in
the nearest store).
Online merchants will focus on creating more immersive and engaging
experiences using cutting-edge technologies.
On the digital marketing front,
search will still drive the bus while
mobile advertising will get stronger in
quality and quantity. Lack of reach
and return on investment will continue to bedevil social network advertising and it will lose ground. Finally,

U-M's Scott Rick on smart consumer moves
Scott Rick, assistant professor of

He shares his thoughts
on how consumers can

Go shopping
I've often seen it
argued, on bumper
stickers and in fortune
cookies, that "when
the going gets tough,
the tough go shopping." But the concept
of retail therapy—
shopping to alleviate psychological
distress—is often lamented as wasteful and ineffective. Is shopping deserving of such a critique? My colleagues and I recently conducted some
experiments to find out.
We found that shopping restores a
sense of personal control over one's
environment. And this helps to alleviate sadness, which is typically characterized by a feeling that external forces
have taken control of one's life. It's
worth noting that the shopping episode need not be expensive—one experiment revealed that even hypothetical shopping helped to alleviate sadness. But shopping cannot heal all bad
feelings. For example, anger is characterized by a feeling that other people
have taken control of one's life, and it
seems that no amount of shopping can
help to reduce the perceived influence
of other people.
Protect yourself
Recent security breaches at many
major retailers have highlighted the
risks of paying with plastic. Most experts agree that debit cards are particularly risky because thieves can
potentially empty out the checking
accounts linked to them. That money
can be recovered, but only after an
investigation that can last up to two
weeks. Credit cards are much better at
limiting liability, but credit cards can
also weaken self-control. It's less psychologically painful to swipe a credit
card than to instantly remove cash
from your checking account or your
pocket. Also, some research suggests
that merely being exposed to credit
card logos can cause us to spend more
with cash! Visual reminders of credit
cards can produce a craving similar to
that produced by smelling fresh cookies.
Sharing that crowded flight
with countless dust mites
As if holiday travel isn't stressful
enough. Now
University of
Michigan researchers say
we're likely
sharing that
already overcrowded airline cabin
with countless
tiny creatures
including
house dust
mites.
" W h a t
people might
not realize
when they
board a plane
is that they
can share the flight with a myriad of
microscopic passengers— including
house dust mites—that take advantage of humanity's technological
progress for their own benefit," said
U-M biologist Pavel Klimov.
"House dust mites can easily travel
on an airline passenger's clothes, skin,
food and baggage," said Klimov, an
assistant research scientist in the U-M
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
"Like humans, they use air travel to
visit new places, where they establish
new populations, expand their ranges
and interact with other organisms
through various means."
Air travel likely explains some of
the findings of a new genetic study
conducted by Klimov and U-M visiting scholar Rubaba Hamid that looked
at the connections between house dust
mite populations in the United States
and South Asia.
They found genetic mutations
shared by mites in the U.S. and Pakistan that demonstrate the eight-legged
creatures' propensity for intercontinental dispersal.
"What we found suggests that mite
populations are indeed linked through
migration across continents, though
geographic differences still can be
detected," Hamid said. "Every time a
mite successfully migrates to a new
Call 532-2000 to place

place, it brings its own genetic signature that can
be detected
in the resident population a long
time after the
migration
event."
The study
focused on
two medically important mite
species, the
American
and European house
dust mite.
Both species have
global distributions, though the former
is more abundant in the U.S.
Ancestors of the two species probably separated from each other nearly
81 million years ago—long before the
origin of humans—when they inhabited bird nests. Today, house dust mites
are blamed for causing allergic reactions in more than 65 million people
worldwide and thrive in the mattresses,
sofas and carpets of even the cleanest
homes.
Hamid, Klimov and their colleagues
examined genetic variation in the
group 1 allergen gene from samples of
the two mite species collected in the
Conduct a financial audit
The new year is a great time to
review your financial landscape. Have
you set up that flexible spending account yet? Are you still walking around
without a will? If you're in debt, do
you know the interest rates
of your debts? Our research
shows that people are naturally tempted to focus on
paying off their smallest
debt, even though they'd
be financially better off focusing on the debt with the
highest interest rate. Financial planning websites (or,
for the adventurous, Excel)
can show you how much
you're saving by focusing
on high-interest debts
rather than small debts.
Give
The past few years have witnessed
a surge of research demonstrating that
donating money, and spending money
on others, increases happiness. This
pattern has now been documented
across many different cultures and
income brackets. One cautionary note
is in order, though. A great deal of
research has shown that performing
one good deed provides us, psychologically, with "moral credentials" that
license us to misbehave in a subsequent situation. This is not an argument against giving. Instead, by being
aware of how our generosity might
naturally impair our moral behavior
down the road, we might be able to
detect and correct this tendency.
U.S. and Pakistan.
The group 1 allergen gene encodes
for the most important allergy-causing protein in house dust mites.
An inactive form of this protein is
used in clinics worldwide as part of
the standard skin-prick test for allergies. Though the test can be inaccurate if it does not include local genetic
variants of the allergy-causing protein, geographical variation in group 1
allergen proteins has not been extensively studied in the U.S., Klimov
said.
"We need to have a better idea about
the diversity of allergenic proteins
around the world, and particularly in
the United States," he said.
"The most unexpected result was
the finding that a previously unknown
mutation occurred at the active site of
the protein at position 197," Klimov
said. "This was a rare mutation, found
in only a single population of house
dust mite in South Asia.

location of a novel mutation discovered by the University of Michiganled team. Image credit: Rubaba Hamid
"Our analysis indicates that this
mutation might alter the enzyme activity of the protein. But allergenic
properties, immune response and
cross-reactivity of the protein are unknown at this time," he said. "Followup experiments to elucidate these issues are underway in our lab."
Electronic payment systems will
struggle to find traction. One area that
will grow faster than normal is peerto-peer payments (Venmo, Square
Cash, etc.).
Websites will try to engage consumers using 3D and virtual reality
technologies such as Oculus Rift.
Advertising
Search advertising will continue to
grow while we will see a rationalization of display (banner) advertising.
Print advertising will continue to
decline rapidly while video advertising will decline (slowly) on TV, but
grow on streaming sites especially on
mobile devices.
Advertising effectiveness on social
networks will be questioned even more
seriously, even as social networks that
have been free of advertising so far
will add it.
Digitization of the economy
Big Data will deliver more value
even as the hype around it dies out.
Consumer privacy concerns will be
articulated more and more in the media, but consumers will continue to
yield data to businesses that offer "convenient" solutions such as Uber and
Airbnb.
Vehicle fuel economy
remains unchanged in
November
Gas mileage of new vehicles sold
in the U.S. stayed the same last month,
according to researchers at the University of Michigan Transportation
Research Institute.
Average fuel economy (windowsticker values) of cars, light trucks,
vans and SUVs purchased in November was 25.3 mpg, the same as both
September and October, but down from
25.8 mpg in August. Vehicle fuel
economy is up 5.2 mpg from October
2007, the first full month of monitoring by UMTRI researchers Michael
Sivak and Brandon Schoettle.
"The unchanged average fuel
economy is likely a net consequence
of two opposing trends—less demand
for more fuel-efficient vehicles because of the decreasing price of gasoline, and improved fuel economy of
2015 model year vehicles compared to
2014 model year vehicles," Sivak said.
In addition to average fuel economy,
Sivak and Schoettle issued a monthly
update of their national Eco-Driving
Index, which estimates the average
monthly emissions generated by an
individual U.S. driver. The EDI takes
into account both the fuel used per
distance driven and the amount of driving—the latter relying on data that are
published with a two-month lag.
After four months of improvement,
the EDI fell back to 0.78 in September
from August's record-low 0.76 (the
lower the value, the better). The index
currently shows emissions of greenhouse gases per driver of newly purchased vehicles are now down 22 percent, overall, since October 2007.
Rick Scott gives
extra paid holiday
State workers are getting the day
after Christmas off as a paid holiday
For the fourth year in a row Gov.
Rick Scott has directed state offices to
be closed an extra day. The last two
years state workers got Christmas Eve
off. In 2011 state employees received
Dec. 23 off since Christmas Eve fell
on a weekend.
In a memo sent Friday to the head
of the Department of Management Services, Scott said he was closing state
offices on Dec. 26 "in recognition of
the hard work" of state employees.
In the past state workers who perform essential functions still have to
work. But state offices aren't open.
