WEST PALM BEACH — You may know your own mind, but do you know your own brain? Three years ago, the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium decided to help you get acquainted. Now, $2.5 million later, a new, 2,500-squarefoot wing is open and eager to lead you on a “Journey Through The Human Brain.” “You’ll explore the function of the human brain and how it controls our thoughts and emotions,” Science Center president Lew Crampton promises. “A lot of information is going to be presented to you in ways both engaging and memorable. This is the most advanced exhibit on the human brain at any museum in the world.”
Developing the new exhibit was entrusted to the best brains around. To get it right, the museum partnered with Dr. Randy Blakely, a professor of biomedical science and executive director of the Florida Atlantic University Brain Institute, with help from the Max Planck and Scripps Research institutes of Florida. “This exhibit will pull back the curtain on the brain,” Dr. Blakely told a large crowd waiting to explore the exhibit on opening day, Wednesday, March 13. “And I hope you will come away awed and hopefully wanting to be a nerve scientist of the future. We’ve made tremendous progress in cancer research, but brain disorders are tough and complicated.” Now let’s step inside and dis-
cover why “the most complex structure in the universe” has been riding between your ears all this time. At the entrance, you’ll pass through a curtain of fine mist on which a high resolution image of the human brain has been projected. The effect is amazing, amusing and almost as startling as what comes next. Just to your left is a human brain and spinal cord, which together make up the central nervous system – the true software of your life. This is not one of those plastic, Visible Man body parts you put together with airplane glue in eighth grade. This is a real human brain and spinal cord, preserved through a monthslong process called plastination. And yes, it’s probably smaller

than you would have guessed. The human brain takes up only about 2.1 percent of our bodies. Venture further and you’ll find 30 interactive exhibits, with something to entertain and inform both children and adults. “This is a bit of a risk for us,” Crampton concedes. “We’re known as a children’s museum. Now our goal is to broaden our audience. And so you’ll find Deep Dive, a sophisticated exhibit that lets visitors use a joystick and touchscreen control panel to navigate the brain at multiple levels. In other words, you venture ever deeper into a brain, from the macroscopic to microscopic levels. And you’re looking at real brain imaging here, projected BRAIN EXHIBIT / PAGE 9
Know the dos and don’ts of sea turtle nesting season Sea turtle nesting season runs until Oct. 31, so let’s pay extra attention to our beaches. Sea turtle nesting season officially kicked off on March 1 in Palm Beach County. That’s when the folks at Loggerhead Marinelife Center really get busy. Researchers there monitor a nine-and-a-half-mile stretch of beach ranging from the north Palm Beach County line in Jupiter Island south to the northern border of John D. MacArthur Beach State Park.
Last year, the Marinelife Center documented more than 11,900 nests on that stretch. That’s about one nest every four feet – and comprises approximately five percent of the world’s total loggerhead sea turtle nests. The Marinelife Center has put out a list of dos and don’ts to help ensure the safety of nesting females and hatchlings during the season. These include:
Do throw away debris left behind on the beach; Do fill in holes in the sand, knock down sand castles and remove foreign objects that may obstruct a sea turtle’s path to and from the ocean; If you come across a nesting sea turtle, observe at a distance from behind. Don’t harm or harass sea
turtles, their nests or hatchlings. Don’t interact with or disrupt a nesting sea turtle – it’s illegal! Don’t touch hatchlings on their way to the ocean. For the complete list, go online to marinelife.org/ seaturtles/research/nesting. “We invite our community to join in our efforts to keep our local sea turtle nesting beaches cleaner and darker during nesting season,” says Jack Lighton, the center’s president and CEO.

In Brief
New $100,000 playground coming to Binks Forest Elementary
Thanks to the actions of a very busy PTA, students at Binks Forest Elementary School in Wellington will have a brand new playground at the beginning of the school year this fall. The school’s second annual Fun Run, held during the last two weeks of February, raised nearly $40,000 for the new playground and capped a successful year of fund-raising. The new playground’s price tag is estimated to cost between $80,000 and $100,000, all of which will be paid for by money raised this academic year. A large grassy field requiring costly sod and periodic re-seeding will be transformed into a handicapped-accessible playground that will include a kickball field, an agility course and a fitness track. Also, a new shaded area will offer relief to students and teachers from South Florida’s heat. The school’s two existing playgrounds will remain intact. In addition to the Fun Run, the school’s PTA raised funds through its adults-only Party with a Purpose, the school carnival, a family costume dance during Halloween and its Phantom Fundraiser.
Palm Beach Dramaworks’ gala pays tribute to 1940s Radio Days
The sounds filling the Kravis Center’s Cohen Pavilion in mid-March were voices from a bygone era, when families gathered around the radio to listen to music, mysteries, comedies and adventure stories. Those sounds were the gateway to Palm Beach Dramaworks’ 19th anniversary gala, “1940s Radio Days,” chaired by Marsha and Stephen Rabb and attended by 250 supporters. Inside the ballroom, guests sat at tables named after popular radio shows of the ‘40s as
as costume assistants should have some background in sewing, sourcing and modifying costumes. Costume assistant volunteers will be needed until the opening of the show on April 11. Both positions are a great way for students to earn community service hours. Those interested should send an email to Daniel Eilola at daniel@lakeworthplayhouse.org for more information. The Lake Worth Playhouse is at 713 Lake Ave. in Lake Worth.

they dined on brown butter glazed filet of beef, creamed spinach, cipollini onion, roasted cauliflower and rosemary roasted fingerling potatoes, followed by decadent desserts. Guests danced to music of the ’40s performed by The Rich Switzer Trio and were entertained by Rich and Jill Switzer. A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the 12th annual Shelly Award to Louise Snyder, vice chair of Dramaworks’ board of directors. The award honors outstanding individuals in recognition of his or her exceptional commitment, support and advocacy on behalf of the company. “Louise has worked tirelessly on behalf of PBD for many years and it meant a lot to me to be able to publicly recognize and acknowledge her contributions,” said Producing Director William Hayes. Another highlight of the evening was a play written for the occasion, “The Case of the Missing Millionaires.” The performance included several cheeky references, clever commercials and old-fashioned sound effects. It even featured Congresswoman Lois Frankel as a very old housekeeper. The evening also included
a tribute to Don Brown, the philanthropist and Palm Beach Dramaworks vice chair who passed away March 6.
Mandel Public Library offering fine forgiveness in April
As part of its 10th anniversary celebration, The Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach will offer fine forgiveness to patrons for overdue or lost materials. From April 1-30, the library will waive all late fees – no matter how long overdue – and charges for lost materials including books, CDs, DVDs and other items. The fine forgiveness program requires cardholders to come to the library with ID to verify their address and return any overdue materials. The program applies only to items checked out before April 1, when the amnesty period begins. Fines and lost book charges for Interlibrary Loan items, borrowed from other libraries, will not be waived. Cardholders must be present to be eligible for forgiveness. The program’s goal is to recover as many of the unreturned items as possible and
reinstate blocked cardholders so they can access vital community programs and services. Once library cards are reactivated, patrons will gain access to the library’s collection of materials and services including job search help, career online high school, homework help, children’s summer programming, fitness classes and more. The library, at 411 Clematis St. in downtown West Palm Beach, will celebrate its 10th anniversary on April 9. For more information on the fine forgiveness program, call (561) 868-7700.

One of the culinary world’s most celebrated chefs will headline the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium’s benefit on Thursday, April 11, titled “Avant Garde Cuisine: The Science of Food.” Celebrity chef Richard Blais will entertain at The Breakers with his signature cutting-edge techniques, and in the process have a little fun with food. Known as the “Smarty Party,” this annual elegant dinner and speaker presentation will demonstrate the science of molecular gastronomy, one of the many branches of food science that incorporates the chemical transformation of ingredients into cooking. A master of molecular gastronomy, Chef Blais is famous for his daring cooking and has developed a career around the intersection of science and food.

SCENE FROM WEST PALM by Aaron Wormus | awormus@palmswestmonthly.com
Mayor Muoio’s tenure marked by growth, accomplishments Over the last eight years and through the entire history of this column, Jeri Muoio has been Mayor of West Palm Beach. Elected in 2011, Muoio stepped in as the economy was coming to terms with how badly we were affected by the 2008 economic crisis. The 2011 budget was $20 million less than the budget just two years prior, police pensions were underfunded and technology was antiquated. City staff had gone from 1,700 to 1,471. Muoio has presided through the downturn and into one of the most prosperous times of West Palm Beach history as outlined in last month’s column. I was at the city’s downtown GreenMarket recently and asked people I knew what they felt were some of the most significant changes made by the Muoio administration during the past eight years. Here are the highlights from those I talked to. FITTEAM BALLPARK OF THE PALM BEACHES When the Washington Nationals came looking to bring its spring training to Palm Beach County, they looked at Jupiter and Lake Worth Beach. Mayor Jeri Muoio was instrumental in bringing the ballpark into West Palm Beach. She negotiated a trade with the county that resulted in the city owning new valuable land

downtown. Now we are in the third season of spring training and every day we see people walking through our downtown who came to town for baseball. PALM BEACH OUTLETS When the Palm Beach Mall opened in 1967 it was the first mall in Palm Beach County and the largest mall in the Southeast United States. In 2010, the neglected and aging mall closed. The city

worked to get the right concept in – toying with Bass Pro Shops or IKEA, but found a developer who was up to the task. Phase One of the Outlets, anchored by the Saks 5th Avenue outlet, opened in 2014. The second phase, which brought in Whole Foods, opened one year later. SAFETY UPGRADES AND FINANCIAL RESILIENCE Fire Station No. 5 was built to service the Palm Beach Lakes area. This high-tech building includes the city’s Emergency Operations Center, which sprung into action during Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Fire Station No. 4 was built on Parker Avenue. This new station draws inspiration from Spanish Mission architecture and fits in beautifully with the neighborhood. The funding of police pensions was a large issue in Lois Frankel’s time as mayor. In 2016, under Mayor Muoio, the city issued a $60 million bond to fully fund the police pension fund. The city accurately expected that the interest rate on the bonds would be less
than the rate of return on the investments providing immediate and long-term economic benefit to the city. ART IN PUBLIC PLACES AIPP is a program that requires private developments to contribute to public art by commissioning artwork on their site, or contribute to the public art fund. This program has funded much of the Canvas mural art that our downtown is now known for. It also brought art into the north and south ends of the city, as well as the much-loved musical swings exhibit to the 500 block of Clematis Street. The program is now bringing a permanent set of musical swings to Currie Park – all with no funding from the city. BRIGHTLINE AND QUIET ZONES Brightline was coming to town, tracks were being laid and the station was being built. The city worked with the All Aboard Florida team to ensure the city got what it wanted – quiet zones and no train horns blowing at all hours of the day and night.
SKYBIKE BIKE SHARE Lots of cities have bike share programs and they are usually funded by the city. West Palm Beach is unique in that it is 100 percent privately funded and no city money was used for the build-out and operation of the program. In 2011, the two-year-old aGuyonClematis blog supported then-city Commissioner Jeri Muoio in her bid for mayor. Here’s what I wrote before the election: “Jeri has a clear vision for the future of West Palm Beach. Jeri looks forward. Jeri understands how the city of West Palm Beach runs and is fully focused on what we need to do to take this city from its infancy as a “big little city” to a robust and flourishing city in which we the people of West Palm Beach and our local businesses will thrive.” There is much more that I wasn’t able to touch on, but if you’ve read this column each month you’ll be familiar with them. Clematis Streetscape, economic development efforts, preservation of our water supply, support of the West Palm Beach startup efforts, technology upgrades at City Hall, Open Data, Gold Star Families Memorial Monument, the mobility study and the bicycle master plan. I may not have always agreed with every one of the city’s projects, but looking back it’s easy to see that overall, the last eight years have been hugely prosperous, and Mayor Muoio leaves a legacy to be proud of.

Interactive stations help visitors understand functions of brain BRAIN EXHIBIT / FROM PAGE 1
onto a large video wall. Or drop by the Brain Sciences Gallery and interact with a robotic hand whose movements are controlled by electricity from your own central nervous system. For children, there’s the Concussive Impacts Sports Helmet Interactive. That’s a wordy way to describe an exhibit that drops a weight on two skulls, one protected and one unprotected by a bicycle helmet, then measures the difference in impact on the brain. Your kids will never climb on their bikes without a helmet again. The Lie To Me exhibit shows how the brain must work harder to lie than to tell the truth. Two visitors sit on opposite sides of a monitor screen and make recorded statements. But one of them has been prompted to lie, with the other replaying the video to determine from body language and visual clues which statement was not true. At the heart of the exhibit is a Brain Regions Model, a large plastic brain big enough to let you explore your own brain’s parts and functions. As visitors wandered all around, Glenn Phipps, of The Acreage, remained transfixed by the giant brain. “I’m retired from FPL, and me and the wife were just out and about and we wandered in here,” he said, leaning in for a closer look. “It explains things you don’t know it does, and tells you what part does what.” If he could learn just one thing about his brain today, Phipps was asked, what would it be?

Nine-year-old Sean Duhaney observes the plastinate specimen of a real human brain and its circulatory system at the South Florida Science Center’s new exhibit, “Journey Through The Human Brain.”
He laughed. “I’d like to know how to keep it from growing old.” Dr. Blakely, the expert, had an answer. “Exercise,” he said. “We used to think you’re born with all the neurons you’ll ever have, but now we know there are places where new neurons are born. And they wire together, which is important in our learning and memory. “We always knew exercise is important, now we know it at the molecular level.” Guess one could say it’s a no-brainer.

Record crowd supports Peggy Adams’ 18th annual walk
Chloe, the Peggy Adams’ 2019 Walk mascot and former shelter dog, helped lead walkers and their pets on the one-mile walk along West Palm Beach’s waterfront.
More than 1,800 people and their pets gathered for Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League’s 18th Annual Barry Crown Walk for the Animals Saturday, Feb. 23, in downtown West Palm Beach. This year’s mascot, Chloe, and Peggy Adams Executive Director/ CEO Rich Anderson led walkers and their pets on the scenic onemile walk along West Palm Beach’s waterfront on Flagler Drive. Chloe is a former shelter dog herself. Supporters enjoyed live entertainment and a complimentary breakfast by Lynora’s. Jennifer Ross from SUNNY 107.9 FM and WFTL 850 AM hosted the festivities, including a pet costume contest with beautiful prize baskets. “This was a record-breaking Walk for the Animals with more than 1,800 people registered,” said Anderson. All proceeds from the walk will benefit Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.

Musicals, comedies highlight Lake On Stage Theater & Concerts Worth Playhouse’s 2019/20 season BB&T Center
The Lake Worth Playhouse recently released its 2019/20 season of six main stage plays that feature four hit musicals. Two are family comedies, and there’s even a suspenseful thriller thrown in from the best-selling novelist of all time – Agatha Christie. Here is the lineup: Footloose: July 11-18 One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory with its Oscar and Tony-nominated top 40 score, Footloose is the ultimate 80s dance musical with a message. Sister Act: Oct. 3-20 Featuring original music by
Tony and eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken, this uplifting musical was nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Inspecting Carol: Nov. 14 - Dec. 1 “A Christmas Carol” meets “The Government Inspector” meets “Noises Off” in this hilarious hit from Seattle. Gypsy, Jan. 16 - Feb. 2 Regarded by many theater professionals as the greatest musical ever created, “Gypsy” is the ultimate tale of an ambitious stage mother fighting for her daughters’ success while secretly yearning for her own.
Witness for the Prosecution: Feb. 27 - March 15 Generally regarded as one of Agatha Christie’s most accomplished plays, this suspenseful thriller keeps audiences guessing until the very end. Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical: April 9-26 This Tony Award-winning musical is the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life.

Palm Beach Dramaworks stages August Wilson’s ‘Fences’ “Although the play is about the black experience, essentially it’s a play about family … and fathers’ and sons’ relationships.” By ROBERT HAGELSTEIN Palms West Monthly
Palm Beach Dramaworks is staging another great American play, “Fences,” which opens March 29 and runs through April 21. It’s by one of the country’s foremost playwrights, the late August Wilson. The Broadway premiere in 1987 won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play. Although the film starring, produced and directed by Denzel Washington may have made “Fences” Wilson’s most recognized play, it is but one in a remarkable cycle of plays chronicling black America during each decade of the twentieth century, known as his Pittsburgh Cycle. “Fences” speaks to the corruption of the American Dream, complicated by racial issues. Metaphorical fences exist to keep several thematic forces at bay, while a physical one slowly rises on stage. Troy Maxson was a talented baseball player in the Negro Leagues when Major League Baseball was still segregated. Now, it’s 1957 and he’s a trash collector in Pittsburgh, living with his wife Rose, their son Cory and his psychologically damaged brother Gabriel. Troy is a man of dignity, with a
strong work ethic and convictions, but he is also angry and his actions have devastating consequences for his family. Palm Beach Dramaworks’ Producing Artistic Director William Hayes, also the production’s director, says he is looking for more compassion for the protagonist. “After all, everything is about his survival and there are those parts of the story that emphasize his vulnerabilities,” says Hayes. “Although the play is about the black experience, essentially it’s a play about family, the universal human story, and fathers’ and sons’ relationships. Particularly at this time, it’s important to see that we have more in common than differences.” Hayes relied on Dramaworks’ reputation as a leading regional theatre to attract the best actors for this celebrated play. “Karen Stephens was always on my mind as the ideal person to play Rose, as well as Jovan Jacobs to play Cory and John Archie to play Bono,” says Hayes. “I tracked down Lester Purry in Los Angles and after long intense discussions, we seeing eye to eye on the approach, we signed him on as the lead.” Other major actors, including Bryant Bentley as Gabriel
and Warren Jackson as Lyons, came on board after the audition process. Purry, playing one of the great leads in American theatre, says he is a big fan of Wilson’s Pittsburgh Cycle. “Early in my career, when I first saw Wilson’s ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,’ I was thunderstruck,” he says. “I had never seen such a portrayal of black life without the common stereotypes. From then on, Wilson’s plays became an addiction. I’ve played in many of his ‘Pittsburgh Cycles,’ and I’ve never looked back.” Purry admits to the demands of the role, however. “I find Troy’s soliloquies particularly moving and challenging to deliver as an actor,” he adds. “Most soliloquies you get to wax eloquently, but Wilson’s are like a drum in this play and just when you’re ready to take a brief pause or rest, there is more. It is physically and emotionally demanding, but that’s one of things that make the part so exhilarating. “I’m so excited to be doing the role again, and as I’m with actors who are new to me, it changes the dynamics and the nuances. I love Troy’s line, one that gets to one of the central themes … ‘There ought not

Karen Stephens, as Rose Maxson, and Lester Purry, as Troy Maxson, star in August Wilson’s “Fences,” the 1987 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play. The production runs March 29 to April 21 at Palm Beach Dramaworks in downtown West Palm Beach.
never have been no time too early.’ While Troy speaks that in reference to his younger days as a baseball player, it is applicable to many moments in his life.” That pattern of speech is typical of the play and, in fact, the playful banter between Troy and his friend Bono uses the N-word, but it is affectionate, while sometimes the word is used between
Troy and his sons disparagingly. As Purry says, “Wilson’s language is poetic, Shakespearean in many ways.” “Fences” runs March 29 through April 21. Palm Beach Dramaworks is at 201 Clematis St. in downtown West Palm Beach. For tickets, call the box office at (561) 514-4020 or go online to palmbeachdramaworks.org.

THE VILLAGE IDIOT by Jim Mullen
Become a pro at losing money at home in your spare time There is only one basic rule to lose money in the stock market: buy high, sell low. It’s easy and anyone can do it. Simply learn a few technical terms and you can start losing money like a financial pro overnight. The first term is “market day.� A “market day� is any day on which the stock market is open, so you can lose money. On weekends and holidays, you must go to a casino or a horse track to lose money, as the stock market is closed. A “buying opportunity� is a way for you to lose even more money than you already have. Let’s say you bought a hundred shares of stock you overheard a guy sitting in the cubicle behind you call “the next Amazon� at $20 a share. Yesterday it fell to $10 a share. Now you have a “buying opportunity� to jump in and buy twice as many shares as you could before – for the same amount of money. Imagine what an “opportunity� you’ll have when it goes down to $5 a share! Or $2 a share! As a general rule of thumb, anytime someone you barely know calls a stock “the next something,� buy it. The next eBay, the next Google, the next Walmart, the next Starbucks. Why buy into a growing, thriving business when you can buy into an unknown, untested one? This is called a “stock tip.�
Never let the sun go down on a stock tip without acting on it. I bought “the next Apple� and, within a week, our kids’ college fund was wiped out. Now they’ll have to work their way through community college by mowing lawns and washing dishes. It’s my gift to them. They’ll learn so much more than they would by being coddled. I’m only sorry I didn’t let more of my friends in on the deal. The guy who passed the tip to me, Bob Ferguson, had to sell his house and move in with his wife’s parents. Now I hear
they’re getting a divorce. At least they won’t need to have long, drawn-out battles over how to split their assets – they don’t have any. It cuts down on the lawyer’s fees, too. It doesn’t get any better than that. Besides bus stops, hair salons, topless bars and cable TV shows, a great place to get stock tips is from the internet. I guess if we know anything about the internet, it’s that it’s swarming with do-gooders. It’s a community where everyone helps everyone else, where the random acts of kindness just
never stop. It’s like a digital Woodstock. Lost your password? Here, use mine. So, when you get an email from someone you don’t know saying that some company you never heard of is poised to rise 300 percent by Tuesday, don’t worry, they are just trying to help you lose lots of money. Extra Bonus Tip: Remember, the less you know about a company, the better. You don’t have to know what the company does or even know a company’s name to invest in it – all you need to know is
its stock market symbol. Try it, you’ll lose money faster than you ever thought possible! Some people prefer not to lose their money all at once. They are called mutual fund investors. In a mutual fund, stock market “experts� pick a group of stocks they think will go down over a long period of time and let you buy into the package. For this service, they charge you a small percentage. It means you can start losing money right away without having to wait until that company whose stock you bought announces that it has “missed its numbers� or “revised its quarterly earnings estimates� or “there’s a slowdown in China� or “our CEO has been led off in handcuffs.� Now get out there and lose some money! Jim Mullen is the author of “It Takes a Village Idiot: A Memoir of Life After the City,� a comic memoir about his move from New York City’s Greenwich Village to a former dairy farm in the Catskill Mountains. His freelance work has appeared in The New York Times, New York Magazine and The Village Voice.

WASHINGTON — Peek into any U.S. hospital’s baby ICU, and you’ll see sick and premature newborns covered in wired monitors that tear at fragile skin and make it hard for parents to cuddle their kids. Now researchers have created tiny skin-like wireless sensors that may finally cut those cords. “This need was so compelling,” said John Rogers, a Northwestern University bioengineer who led the sensors’ development. “Without the wires, it’s much easier for the parents, mothers in particular, to interact and hold their babies.” Nearly 300,000 U.S. newborns wind up in neonatal intensive care units each year, because they were born prematurely or with serious health problems. It’s critical to track their heartbeat and other vital signs so doctors and nurses can rapidly spot if their youngest patients are in trouble. But today, that means sticky electrodes tethered by wires to a variety of beeping monitors that surround the incubator. The nest of wires impedes skinto-skin contact with a parent that’s known to help preemies thrive, much less rock a baby or breast feed, said Dr. Amy Paller, a Northwestern pediatric der-

A silicone wireless sensor with miniature electronics embedded inside clings gently to the foot of a patient at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago on Wednesday, Feb. 27. Researchers at Northwestern University created the sensors to monitor critically ill newborns without hurting their skin or blocking parents’ cuddles.
matologist. And no matter how carefully doctors and nurses remove the electrodes, preemies whose skin isn’t fully developed are prone to injuries and scarring. Going wireless in the NICU is a lot harder than, say, measuring a jogger’s heart rate with a FitBit. First, Rogers’ team developed ultrathin sensors made of a flexible silicone that moves like skin and clings without any strong adhesive.
Then the researchers embedded the sensors with spring-like electronics that flex as the body moves, and are waterproof and made with materials that – unlike today’s NICU monitors – don’t interfere with X-rays or MRI scans. And key to being lightweight, they don’t need batteries. Under the crib mattress sits a transmitter that wirelessly charges the sensors much like some smartphone chargers –
CAFCI and the Village of Royal Palm Beach presents
while simultaneously relaying all the sensors’ measurements to hospital computers. Replacing today’s multiple monitors takes just two wireless sensors – one made for the chest or back, and one to wrap around a foot – that work together. For example, the upper sensor measures heart activity, while the foot sensor uses light to measure blood oxygen levels. How long it takes a heartbeat’s pulse to reach the foot corresponds to blood pressure, Rogers explained – no bruising blood pressure cuff required. How reliable are they? Researchers put the wireless sensors on the bodies of 20 babies in Northwesternaffiliated NICUs who also had the normal wired monitoring. The wireless sensors worked
just as well, Rogers and Paller reported in the journal Science. “This is a promising technology and may eliminate stick-on sensors,” said Dr. Rosemary Higgins, a neonatologist at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, who wasn’t involved with the research. The studies are continuing and Rogers said the sensors now have been used on about 80 babies with similar results and no sign of skin trouble. “It’s really amazing,” said Theodora Flores, as she held one of her twin daughters, Genesis, in the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago in February. Genesis is part of the wireless testing and the new mom said fewer wires would mean, “I can move freely with her a little bit more.” It would take far more testing for Food and Drug Administration approval of wireless sensors. But Rogers said the bigger need is in developing countries that can’t afford today’s wired monitoring even for preemies. He estimates the new sensors could be made for about $10 to $15. With funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Save the Children, Rogers is preparing for a pilot trial of the wireless sensors in Zambia in April, with the goal of testing up to 20,000 sensors in India, Pakistan and Zambia by year’s end. The technology “has great potential impact on monitoring practices all over the world and may give many neonates a more equitable opportunity to survive,” Dr. Ruth Guinsburg of the Federal University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, wrote in a commentary in Science.

Nebraska lawmakers advance bill to outlaw eyeball tattooing
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska lawmakers have advanced a bill to prevent people from getting tattoos on the whites of their eyes. The measure won first-round approval March 6, on a 38-0 vote. The proposal by Sen. Lynne Walz, of Fremont, received strong support from eye doctors who warn that such tattoos are risky and could cause people to lose their sight. It includes a limited exception for cases where such a procedure is medically necessary and performed by someone who’s trained to do it. The concept of eyeball tattooing proved cringe-worthy for many senators. Sen. Sara Howard, the chairwoman of the legislature’s Health and Human Services Committee, says it’s “by far the most disgusting bill I have ever heard in my committee.”
Judge warned after claiming God said defendant was innocent
SAN ANTONIO — A Texas judge has received a public warning after asking a jury to keep deliberating over a defendant they convicted because God told him she was innocent. The San Antonio Express-News reports that Comal County Judge Jack Robison reported himself to the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct after his outburst while presiding over the trial of Gloria Romero Perez in January 2018. Romero Perez was charged with continuous sex trafficking and the sale or purchase of a child. Robison told jurors to continue deliberating after they reached a guilty verdict, saying her conviction would be a misuse of justice. The commission’s report shows Robison said, “When God tells me I gotta do something, I gotta do it.” Romero Perez’s conviction
was later declared a mistrial. Robison blamed the outburst on a temporary medical condition.
The drive-thru event was inspired by a movement among churches around the country to offer ashes in public places such as transportation hubs.
Man’s shooting range wedding proposal was Nightmare: Man’s car stolen while he’s right on target WAYNE, N.J. — A New Jersey asleep in back seat couple is giving marriage a shot after a man surprised his girlfriend by proposing at an indoor shooting range, armed with a special target. Kara Crampton was taking target practice on Feb. 17, at Reloaderz in Wayne when a target spun around and showed the message “Will you marry me?” with the option for her to either shoot the words “yes” or “no.” The range’s owner created the target, making sure the “YES” area was much easier to hit than the “NO.” The owner’s son is a friend of Crampton’s new fiancee, Jake Woodruff. Crampton seemed stunned by the proposal and then turned around to see Woodruff on one knee holding an engagement ring. She quickly accepted his proposal, then formally made her answer official about 10 minutes later by putting three shots in the center of the “YES” target.
California church offers drive-thru ashes to Lent observers
UPLAND, Calif. — A Southern California church gave the faithful a chance to fit Ash Wednesday into their commute. St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Upland offered drive-thru ashes for those who observed the start of Lent, the period of penitence leading up to Easter. Father Keith Yamamoto told the Daily Bulletin people in Southern California spend a lot of time in their cars and the church needs to be accessible to people wherever they are. Yamamoto said he also hopes to connect with those who haven’t been to church recently so they’ll come to regular services.
NEWARK, Del. — A man’s nap in the back of his car in Delaware turned into a nightmare after the car he was sleeping in was stolen and crashed. Musician Justin Koerner told the News Journal he had spent a night playing music with friends, went to sleep in his vehicle and had a dream involving someone jumping in his front seat. A Newark police statement says someone drove off in the car the morning of Feb. 10, and bailed after seeing the man sleeping in the back. Police say the car crashed. Koerner says he awoke and saw car treads on a lawn and a destroyed bush, then realized he hadn’t been dreaming. He says police appeared ready to take him away before another officer said a neighbor had security camera footage of the incident.
Stolen magazine with Beatles on cover back 50 years later
CLEVELAND — An Ohio library says a 1968 copy of Life magazine with the Beatles on the cover has been returned by a borrower who apologized for stealing it as a “kid” and sent $100 to cover late fees. The Cuyahoga County Public Library says it received the apology in late February from someone named Brian, who acknowledged taking it from a suburban Cleveland branch the year it was published. The library caps late fees at $100, which is good for Brian. The normal fine of 10 cents a day over 50 years would have exceeded $1,800. Library spokesman Robert Rua says the library is forgiving and thanks Brian for doing the right thing. A copy of the magazine today
fetches around $50 online. The library expects to put the magazine on display.
2 arrested in Alabama buffet brawl over crab legs
Pilot wins best conch honker in quirky Florida Keys contest
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Alabama police say a dispute over crab legs at a dinner buffet ended in a brawl that left two people facing misdemeanor charges. Huntsville police officer Gerald Johnson says he was eating at the Meteor Buffet restaurant in February when a fight broke out. Johnson tells WHNT-TV that diners were using service tongs like fencing swords and plates were shattering, and a woman was beating a man. Johnson says diners had been waiting in line for crab legs for more than 10 minutes, and they lost their tempers once the food came out. The station reports Chequita Jenkins is charged with assaulting John Chapman, who suffered a cut on his head. Chapman is charged with disorderly conduct. Court records aren’t available to show whether either person has a lawyer.
KEY WEST — A man who flies air ambulances for a Florida sheriff can also honk the 1958 song “Tequila” using a pink-lined conch shell. David Masterson’s unique music skills earned him this year’s best honker among men in the Conch Shell Blowing Contest in Key West. An aviation director for the Monroe County sheriff, Masterson said he began blowing the shell for fun when he lived on a boat. Conch shells have been used as signaling devices in the Florida Keys for centuries. Native-born islanders are called Conchs, and the Keys are nicknamed the Conch Republic. Judges evaluated more than 50 contestants from children to seniors on the quality, novelty, duration and loudness of their playing. Another winning performance came from 6-year-old Audrey Van Aken, whose sturdy blast drew loud cheers.

Aries (March 21 – April 20) You can keep smiling about things but inside you’re having a hard time with this. Times like these beg us to tell the awful truth. What you’re afraid to say will take guts but in the end, it’ll make everything better. Taurus (April 21 – May 21) Your spirit knows what you need to do but your ego keeps you stuck here. Whatever you have to prove it won’t serve you to keep it up. Don’t try to be what you’re not. Living a lie isn’t what you came here for. Gemini (May 22 – June 21) You can’t go after your bigger visions until you clear up the past. Moving on will involve telling those you love that you’ve had it with this. Don’t let their needs override your desire to grow and evolve. Cancer (June 22 – July 23) Life gets easier when we disengage from chaotic situations and people. Your decision to cut out the dead wood has changed things completely. Where do you want to go from here? What would you like to manifest? Leo (July 24 – Aug. 23) You’re
trading your freedom for security. This cage you’ve created will start to feel too small sooner than you think. Bound to someone else’s expectations, how do you expect to find what you’re looking for? Virgo (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23) Learning to live within certain restrictions has strengthened you. Those who accuse you of being overly serious don’t understand that sometimes our growth requires us to focus and stabilize ourselves. Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23) If you’re really over this, why does it keep you awake at night? Living with old hurts, and pretending everything’s fine and dandy is getting to be a joke; and it isn’t fooling anyone but you. Time to smell the coffee. Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22) Drop your doubts and just go for this. Everything around you is giving you the green light. If it’s hard for you to believe that anything could come together this easily, the best things in life always show up with no interference.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21) Helping others pull themselves out of the hole is risky business. There’s always the danger of getting dragged down along with them. You can keep this up only if you know for sure that you’re big enough to handle it. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20) When the truth has been hidden for this long, telling it is 10 times harder. Too bad you waited. Now that you have no other choice, it’s time to figure out what you’ll do when others go ballistic over this. Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19) You can’t force yourself to do anything right now. Put your goals and ambitions on the back burner. None of them are as important as the need to slow down. Take a break. It’ll give you the strength to carry on. Pisces (Feb. 20 – March 20) How far do you think you can push this? Too much denial has walled you in to the point where you’re blind to the facts. Beating dead horses is a waste of time. Wake up! This road you’re on goes nowhere.
