Pet Peeves

Dr. George Carruthers (born 1939-2020), one of the African American inventors, is an astrophysicist who invented the the the ultraviolet digital camera/spectrograph, which NASA used when it launched Apollo 16 in 1972. This breakthrough invention helped show that molecular hydrogen existed in the interstellar area.

years later, Carruthers built a more advanced telescope at the city’s Adler Planetarium.

He tracked the progress of sounding rockets (which follow suborbital trajectories) and the earliest satellites and read up on the work of the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC. After gaining his PhD in aeronautical and astronomical engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, he won a place on the NRL’s postdoctoral program.

discover new features and confirm earlier localized samplings.

Carruthers’s Earth images have paved the way for global space-weather forecasting in the same way that global satellite systems are used to predict surface weather. Elements of current NASA missions that focus on the ionosphere and upper atmosphere (ICON and GOLD) can be traced to Carruthers’s first global images.

terrestrial telescopes, Carruthers’s Far Ultraviolet (FUV) lunar camera produced the first global images of Earth’s upper atmosphere, a region fundamental to communications, remote sensing, and the operation of space systems. The telescope also peered into deep space, shining light on star formation and clusters and the interstellar medium. Carruthers has died, aged 81.

As an African American, his contributions to high-profile human spaceflight missions made Carruthers a sought-after role model for Black scientists and engineers and those from other communities underrepresented in research and groups campaigning for equity in academia and industry. Carruthers was dedicated to mentoring students in schools, community centers, and universities. He advised them to build wide-ranging expertise early on so that they could adapt to emerging problems in research — guidance his father, a civil engineer, had given him.

Born in 1939 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Carruthers grew up in the Jim Crow era of racial-segregation laws, which formally ended only in 1964, the year he got his PhD. His family encouraged him to study mathematics and science, but it was his own reading of science-fiction and astronomy books that awakened his fascination with space flight. With the money he earned as a delivery boy, he ordered lenses and had built a telescope from cardboard tubing by the age of ten. When his father died in 1952, his mother moved the family to Chicago, Illinois. A few

So began Carruthers’s lifelong research career at the NRL. His first endeavor was using a sounding rocket to search for molecular hydrogen in space. He devised a better way to capture FUV spectra, amplifying diffuse and faintly lit objects. Like a video camera, his telescope converted photons into energetic electrons that were amplified and recorded by electron-sensitive film. The resulting compact telescope had flexible operating configurations that mimicked the capability of much larger systems.

In 1970, Carruthers’s telescope confirmed the existence of molecular hydrogen in interstellar space. This discovery, which received international acclaim, filled a significant gap in understanding the interstellar medium and provided a framework for explaining how stars form. It was then considered a step towards resolving the riddle of the Universe’s “missing mass.”

Sounding-rocket programs permitted frequent, relatively inexpensive, and short-turnaround opportunities to test and use sensors. Carruthers’s genius was in making very complex and delicate technology work flawlessly on space vehicles as they pitched, spun, and shook. He was intensely focused on designing, building, and “testing, testing, testing.”

The Apollo 16 lunar camera and spectrograph produced global-scale images of Earth’s upper atmosphere, including its outer ionized layer, or ionosphere. These images revealed details about equatorial arcs of charged particles stretching around the globe — phenomena under study today as the interplay between the atmosphere and ionosphere. NRL theorists and observational astronomers have used the images to

Carruthers continued to study the upper atmosphere and probe the structure of the Universe. From the Skylab space station in 1973–1974, his camera mapped stars, interstellar clouds, and other objects, producing data that improved navigation, remote sensing, and astronomy. From a sounding rocket in 1974, he produced the first images of the atomic hydrogen corona surrounding comet Kohoutek and, later, similar images of comet Halley.

He was instrumental in setting up the NRL’s high-school apprenticeship program, short courses at community centers, and continuing education for local teachers. Through Project SMART, he enhanced outreach at the National Air and Space Museum and the historically Black Howard University in Washington, DC. The legacy of Carruthers’s outreach work continues today. NRL space scientist McArthur Jones co-chairs the task force on diversity, equity, and inclusion set up as part of the US National Science Foundation’s CEDAR (Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions) program. Others whom Carruthers inspired can be found at institutions from the US Air Force Research Laboratory to universities and aerospace businesses.

Carruthers was a man of vision. Usually reserved, his demeanor was transformed when he was generously sharing his wisdom and his scientific and engineering prowess. He opened doors for local young people by opening himself up to them. Of racism, he said, “When I was their age, I had no role models because nobody ever publicized them, not that they didn’t exist…therefore many of the minority students didn’t know that they had a future in science.” Carruthers worked to change that.

The People’s Report: THE BIG ELECTRICAL GRID TEST

parties say anything about our electrical infrastructure. But they sure can cheer pump 100’s of billions into Ukrainian Natzi’s and then lie and say Russia is taking over the world and we need to protect democracy, when don’t even have it over here. Talk about misplaced priorities. See good leadership sees and addresses things before they become a crisis. In the meantime, the powers keep pushing for EV’s and we don’t have the infrastructure to bring them online and let alone keep them online. Think about this use critical thinking. If EV’s really do become even 5%, we will have to upsize ALL distribution conductors to

withstand the added electrical load. See the problems of growth are not fixable by current technological advances. ‘Power density’ for example, when you’re constrained by the laws of physics, you stay jacked up. I have not even written about different extreme weather patterns.

A lots of this is our fault when we vote we don’t demand accountability. See there is an agenda that we can’t see and its in the atmosphere.

their reach.

Wheels the Texas governor as he is known here in Texas has spent the last two days saying our electrical grid will hold up, straight up confidence game. As U.S. energy infrastructure continues to go largely neglected and city populations keep rising, certain regions of America are under threat of electricity shortages for several years to come. In addition to inadequate energy infrastructure, the rise of renewable power sources and the growing countrywide energy demand are putting pressure on the grid like never before. The Midwest and South-Central U.S, Texas and California appear to be most at risk of electricity shortages according to a recent analysis. These regions fall into the “high risk” and “elevated risk” categories. The shortages are most likely to seen during high peak times. Our first true test is on right now as temps have dropped 30 degrees as I write this, its 19 degrees with forecast low down to 10 degrees not including wind gusts up to 40 mph, its straight up cold. Here in Texas the growth in our population is astounding because we have no state income tax and are pro- business with lower cost of living even though now even here in the DFW areas home prices have soared 40% in the last year and a half. How can the state keep up with the growth and then holla they have no money. Something does not add up mathematically. Again, the peeps don’t history, math or physics.

Several utilities are responding to national and international pressures to shift away from fossil fuels to greener alternatives. However, with solar and wind power being the most common renewable energy sources in the U.S., and the development of battery storage facilities in the early stages, the variable energy supply and demand make it difficult to ensure consistent electricity delivery. In addition, much of the U.S. energy infrastructure requires a major overhaul to make it fit for use as populations grow and different technologies are used to produce energy.

Dunbar High School is the first public high school for AfricanAmerican students in the U.S. It has produced many influential African Americans like Edward Brooke, the first person to be elected to the U.S. Senate; Benjamin O. David Jr, the first African-American Air Force general, and many more.

The school started in the basement of the 15th Street Presbyterian Church with the goal of providing education to African-American children. It was initially named M Street High School before it took on the name Dunbar in 1916, as reported by Saving Places. The school was named after AfricanAmerican poet Paul Laurence Dunbar.

The school launched a concerted campaign to attract the most intelligent African-American students in the districts. The school demanded academic excellence from each of its students amid racial segregation. It encouraged students to dare to dream beyond

It made students believe that it is possible to become anything they dreamed of irrespective of the color of their skin. Dunbar High School authorities also made sure that students used grammar correctly when speaking English while urging students to strive to acquire a college education.

Journalist Alison Stewart in her book “First Class: The Legacy of Dunbar, America’s First Black Public High School” said the values of Dunbar do not lie in the structure but in the living evidence of those who witnessed and passed through the system. She wrote her book to document the history of Dunbar High School so its story will not be lost in the wake of the school’s original structure being demolished a number of times.

The Dunbar High School was demolished and rebuilt twice — in 1977 and 2013. Alison observed that the school has had its highs and lows and has been representative of the city. She said that though the old structure had been demolished, the newly erected Dunbar High School embodies the spirit and legacy of the school.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Black schools were at the heart of race riots and post-civil actions which were not conducive to teaching and learning. This explains why the new Dunbar High School has a towering look that welcomes everyone and radiates a community where academic excellence is the hallmark.

New Year, New Beginnings!

Holley v. Adams: Part I with Miles D. Peterson

Debra’s Bits and Pieces

for the termination of Mother’s parental rights on the grounds that she had “failed to support the child in accordance with her ability…and had emotionally and actually abandoned the child; and that termination would be in the best interest of the child.” The Trial Court sided with Father and ordered that Mother’s parental rights be terminated. However, Mother appealed and thus the Holley factors were born.

SIAC SERVES FOR THE HOLIDAYS

In addition, the league partnered with Clark Atlanta University and Morehouse College to donate golf shoes to the First Tee of Metro Atlanta.

First Tee began in 1997 as a partnership among the LPGA, the Masters Tournament, the PGA of America, the PGA TOUR, and the USGA to make golf affordable and accessible for all kids.

A New Year should bring new beginnings, new attitudes, and new memories. But it is important for us to not forget the past. Many things that have happened in 2022, we should take heed to and not forget and repeat mistakes and hopefully we can learn from. Other things that have happened this year those happy memories that have been created in our lives with family and friends we should hold dear to our hearts and keep them sacred and safe, especially in times of sadness.

A New Year brings forth many things most importantly it should bring kindness, love, and respect for all! No matter what your political party, sexual orientation, or religion should not stop you from being kind to others! Be in your adult self and understand that our differences are what makes the world go round! Our differences make us who we are as a people. Let's stop and think about what this New Year should bring. It should bring HOPE for a better tomorrow, HAPPININESS for the things that we have been Blessed with and will be Blessed with, and most of all HEALING, whether it is physically, mentally, or spiritually.

Looking back on the past can be good or bad depending on your perspective. BUT looking forward to the future helps us see a brighter tomorrow and a hope of what is meant for us as a people. Happy New Year and may all you days be Bright!

In the world of family law, the term “best interests of the child” is often thrown around as the standard for cases involving children. But have you ever considered where this standard comes from and what factors are used to determine it? This week I’m going to tell you about the case that every family law attorney knows and lives by, Holley v. Adams.

In the case David Adams (Father) is seeking to terminate the parental rights of his ex-wife, Nanci Adams Holley (Mother). The two were married in 1965 and had their only child. Three years later they split up, with divorce being filed soon after. The divorce itself was relatively smooth. Mother willingly gave possession of the child to Father during the proceedings and did not have any issue with Father being awarded custody in the final decree of divorce.

Shortly afterwards, Father remarried while Mother was arrested and jailed for traffic offenses. Mother also soon found herself committed to a state hospital for treatment of mental illness. Eventually, she left Father and their son in Austin, Texas and moved to Seattle, Washington where she remarried.

Mother returned to see her son three times in three years and sent him about $100 over a period of five years. Father filed suit

The factors that came from the Supreme Court of Texas are used to this day to determine the best interests of a child. They are:

1. The desires of the child;

2. The emotional and physical needs of the child now and in the future;

3. The emotional and physical danger to the child now and in the future;

4. The parental abilities of the individuals seeking custody;

5. The programs available to assist these individuals to promote the best interest of the child;

6. The plans for the child by these individuals or by the agency seeking custody;

7.the stability of the home or proposed placement;

8. The acts or omissions of the parent which may indicate that the existing parent-child relationship is not a proper one; and

9. Any excuse for the acts or omissions of the parent.

It is important to remember that the list stated in the case are not the end all be all of factors that courts will consider in determining best interests, but it is where every analysis will start. Next week, we will discuss how these factors were applied to Nanci Adams Holley’s appeal.

ATLANTA, Ga. (December 28, 2022)During the holiday season, the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) partnered with 100 Black Men of America and First Tee of Metro Atlanta to provide over 500 pairs of shoes to community organizations in need.

Commissioner Holloman has headed this effort intending to continue the league’s give-back initiative to surrounding communities.

“The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference is proud to partner with the 100 Black of America for this significant community service project aimed at providing resources for disadvantaged groups in our institutional footprint,” said SIAC Commissioner Anthony Holloman. “The SIAC and its member institutions are committed to providing the tools needed to inspire and motivate the next generation of leaders. We believe this partnership with the 100 Black Men of America will allow for a greater impact among youth who benefit from the mentorship of the 100.”

100 Black Men of America is recognized as the nation’s top African American led mentoring organization. It provides unique programs that address local communities’ specific needs by providing the tools to empower their students.

The league, in conjunction with our local member institutions, donated a combination of clothes and shoes to the following 100 Black Men of America chapters:

• South Metro Atlanta (Clark Atlanta University and Morehouse College)

• Birmingham (Miles College)

• Albany (Albany State University)

Introduction

Suicide is a major public health concern. In 2020, suicide was the 12th leading cause of death overall in the United States, claiming the lives of over 45,900 people. Suicide is complicated and tragic, but it is often preventable. Knowing the warning signs for suicide and how to get help can help save lives.

What is Suicide?

Suicide is when people harm themselves with the goal of ending their life, and they die as a result.

A suicide attempt is when people harm themselves with the goal of ending their life, but they do not die.

Avoid using terms such as “committing suicide,” “successful suicide,” or “failed suicide” when referring to suicide and suicide attempts, as these terms often carry negative meanings.

Warning Signs

Warning signs that someone may be at immediate risk for attempting suicide include:

• Talking about wanting to die or

Share.”

wanting to kill themselves

• Talking about feeling empty or hopeless or having no reason to live

• Talking about feeling trapped or feeling that there are no solutions

• Feeling unbearable emotional or physical pain

• Talking about being a burden to others

• Withdrawing from family and friends

• Giving away important possessions

• Saying goodbye to friends and family

• Putting affairs in order, such as making a will

• Taking great risks that could lead to death, such as driving extremely fast

• Talking or thinking about death often

Other serious warning signs that someone may be at risk for attempting suicide include:

• Displaying extreme mood swings, suddenly changing from very sad to very calm or happy

• Making a plan or looking for ways to kill themselves, such as searching for lethal methods online, stockpiling pills, or buying a gun

• Talking about feeling great guilt or shame

• Using alcohol or drugs more often

• Acting anxious or agitated

• Changing eating or sleeping habits

• Showing rage or talking about seeking revenge

It is important to note that suicide is not a normal response to stress. Suicidal thoughts or actions are a sign of extreme distress and should not be ignored. If these warning signs apply to you or someone you know, get help as soon as possible, particularly if the behavior is new or has increased recently.

Here are five steps you can take to #BeThe1To help someone in emotional pain:

• ASK: “Are you thinking about killing yourself?” It’s not an easy question, but studies show that asking at-risk individuals if they are suicidal does not increase suicides or suicidal thoughts.

• KEEP THEM SAFE: Reducing a suicidal person’s access to highly lethal items or places is an important part of suicide prevention. While this is not always easy, asking if the at-risk person has a plan and removing or disabling the lethal means can make a difference.

• BE THERE: Listen carefully and learn what the individual is thinking and feeling. Research suggests acknowledging and talking about suicide may reduce rather than increase suicidal thoughts.

• HELP THEM CONNECT: Save

the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline number (call or text 988) and the Crisis Text Line number (741741) in your phone so they’re there if you need them. You can also help make a connection with a trusted individual like a family member, friend, spiritual advisor, or mental health professional.

• STAY CONNECTED: Staying in touch after a crisis or after being discharged from care can make a difference. Studies have shown the number of suicide deaths goes down when someone follows up with the at-risk person.

Risk Factors

Suicide does not discriminate. People of all genders, ages, and ethnicities can be at risk. Suicidal behavior is complex, and there is no single cause. The main risk factors for suicide are:

• Depression, other mental disorders, or substance use disorder

• Chronic pain

• A history of suicide attempts

• Family history of a mental disorder or substance use

• Family history of suicide

• Exposure to family violence, including physical or sexual abuse

• Presence of guns or other firearms in the home

• Having recently been released from prison or jail

• Exposure, either directly or indirectly, to others’ suicidal behavior, such as that of family members, peers, or celebrities

Most people who have risk factors will not attempt suicide, and it is difficult to tell who will act on suicidal thoughts. Although risk factors for suicide are important to keep in mind, someone who is showing warning signs of suicide may be at higher risk for danger and need immediate attention.

Stressful life events (such as the loss of a loved one, legal troubles, or financial difficulties) and interpersonal stressors (such as shame, harassment, bullying, discrimination, or relationship troubles) may contribute to suicide risk, especially when they occur along with suicide risk factors.

Family and friends are often the first to recognize the warning signs of suicide, and they can take the first step toward helping a loved one find mental health treatment. See the resources on NIMH’s Find Help for Mental Illnesses page if you’re not sure where to start.

Identifying People at Risk for Suicide

• Universal Screening: Research has shown that a three-question screening tool helps emergency

room personnel identify adults at risk for suicide. Researchers found that screening all patients –regardless of the reason for their emergency room visit – doubled the number of patients identified as being at risk for suicide. The researchers estimated that suiciderisk screening tools could identify more than three million additional adults at risk for suicide each year.

• Predicting Suicide Risk Using Electronic Health Records: Researchers from NIMH partnered with the VA and others to develop computer programs that could help predict suicide risk among veterans receiving VA health care. Other healthcare systems are beginning to use data from electronic health records to help identify people with suicide risk as well.

Treatments and Therapies

Effective, evidence-based interventions are available to help people who are at risk for suicide.

Brief Interventions

• Safety Planning: Personalized safety planning has been shown to help reduce suicidal thoughts and actions. Patients work with a caregiver to develop a plan that describes ways to limit access to lethal means such as firearms, pills, or poisons. The plan also lists coping strategies and people and resources that can help in a crisis.

• Follow-up phone calls: Research has shown that when at-risk patients receive further screening, a Safety Plan intervention, and a series of supportive phone calls, their risk of suicide goes down.

Psychotherapies

Multiple types of psychosocial interventions have been found to help individuals who have attempted suicide (see below). These types of interventions may prevent someone from making another attempt.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help people learn new ways of dealing with stressful experiences. CBT helps individuals recognize their thought patterns and consider alternative actions when thoughts of suicide arise.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has been shown to reduce suicidal behavior in adolescents. DBT has also been shown to reduce the rate of suicide in adults with borderline personality disorder, a mental illness characterized by an ongoing pattern of varying moods, self-image, and behavior that often results in impulsive actions and problems in relationships. A therapist trained in DBT can help a person recognize when their feelings or actions are disruptive or unhealthy and teach the person skills that can help them

cope more effectively with upsetting situations.

Medication

Some individuals at risk for suicide might benefit from medication. Health care providers and patients can work together to find the best medication or medication combination, as well as the right dose. Because many individuals at risk for suicide often have a mental illness or substance use problems, individuals might benefit from medication along with psychosocial intervention.

Clozapine is an antipsychotic medication used primarily to treat individuals with schizophrenia. To date, it is the only medication with a specific U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indication for reducing the risk of recurrent suicidal behavior in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.

If you are prescribed a medication, be sure you:

• Talk with your health care provider or a pharmacist to make sure you understand the risks and benefits of the medications you’re taking.

• Do not stop taking a medication without talking to your health care provider first. Suddenly stopping a medication may lead to “rebound” or worsening of symptoms. Other uncomfortable or potentially dangerous withdrawal effects also are possible.

• Report any concerns about side effects to your health care provider right away. You may need a change in the dose or a different medication.

• Report serious side effects to the FDA MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online or by phone at 1-800-332-1088. You or your health care provider may send a report.

• For the most up-to-date information on medications, side effects, and warnings, visit the FDA website.

Collaborative Care

Collaborative Care is a team-based approach to mental health care. A behavioral health care manager will work with the person, their primary health care provider, and mental health specialists to develop a treatment plan. Collaborative care has been shown to be an effective way to treat depression and reduce suicidal thoughts.
