No One Tells You: The Last Years of Edna O’Brien — candid revelations by her own son
From her debut novel The Country Girls, published in 1960, the year she turned 30, Edna O’Brien wrote with bracing candour about the...
Mary McIntyre and Robert Anderson’s Found Image Fandom
Through restagings and reconstitutions of Mike Kelley’s past performances, the artists question our relationship with images and reality Before it became a graveyard of dead posts and deactivated accounts, Tumblr filled my screen with countless beguiling images, many of which, uncredited, were in fact documents from infamous fashion shows, performances and other works of contemporary art. This, however, was of secondary importance to me.
Marianna Simnett’s Furry Friends
Simnett’s works find the beautiful in the horrible, the animal in the human A giant illuminated swan spreads its wings and opens its beak in ecstasy as it mounts a panting hyena whose red-hot erection pokes out between his legs like an ice lolly.
Ideas & Opinions - John Vaughan: Stop the mine!
The first item of note in Ross Guenther’s February 13 Ideas & Opinions submission is this quote: “There are no nearby areas for a tailings pond or areas for compacting and stacking the tailings that would not likely result in extreme danger to the environment and possible loss of lives such as with the recent tailings dam failures in Brazil.” Even Mr. Guenther, with his decades of experience in mining, agrees with the CEA Foundation (CEA) that there is no safe way to store tailings on the...
The Interview: Dennis Cooper
‘‘I have a really complicated relationship with objectification. I understand it but I don’t like it.’’ Dennis Cooper is a writer of slim, disturbing novels about young, catastrophically beautiful boys who totter through worlds in which violence and sexual abuse are as common as weather.
Podcast - Regulating AI In Healthcare: The Road Ahead
In this episode of "Counsel That Cares," Public Policy & Regulation attorney John Vaughan, Healthcare attorney Dan Silverboard and Public Affairs Advisor Sarah Starling Crossan discuss the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) regulation in the healthcare industry. They explore the complex interplay between federal initiatives, such as executive orders and agency rules, and the surge of state-level legislation shaping AI use in clinical practice, insurance and patient care.
Industry Voices—Inflection point: The future of AI in US healthcare policy
As the United States moves beyond the first months of the second Trump Administration, artificial intelligence has emerged as a central focus across multiple areas of the narrowly Republican-controlled government, especially within the health sector. Developers and deployers of AI-enabled technologies continue to promote AI as an innovative tool for improving care delivery, while clinicians and patients express both enthusiasm and concern about its integration.
Hot Topics In FDA Regulation: GLP-1s, LDTs, AI And More (Podcast)
In this episode of Holland & Knight's "The Eyes on Washington" podcast series, attorneys Rachel Gartner, Sara Klock, John Vaughan and Michael Werner discuss the evolving landscape of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation throughout the early months of the Trump Administration.
Ideas & Opinions - John Vaughan: Kevin Kiley and the failed 'tele-town hall'
I attended Representative Kiley’s recent “tele-town hall.” To put it simply, the format was disappointing, and Kiley’s responses were routinely underwhelming or less than factual. The “voice only” format made it easy for him to avoid face-to-face contact with his constituents with no chance for live feedback or follow-up questions. It was a one-way communication stream, with oh-so-many responses that felt scripted and didn’t address the actual questions asked.

The Future For AI Usage In California Healthcare Hinges On Governor's Indication Of State Limits
California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed two bills regarding artificial intelligence (AI) regulations in the healthcare sphere. The first bill (SB 1120) requires a qualified human individual to conduct a review of utilization review (UR) and utilization management (UM) coverage determinations for insurance qualification based on medical necessity.

Prevention of post‐operative adhesions: Model development and pilot outcomes of human placental stem cell‐based interventions
Background Abdominal adhesions are the most common surgical complication and without reliable prophylactics. This study presents a novel rat model for abdominal adhesions and reports pilot results of human placental stem cell (hPSC)-based therapies. Methods Forty-four (n = 44) male Sprague–Dawley rats (250-350 g) were used in the experiment. Of these, thirty-eight (n = 38) were included in a preliminary data set to determine a minimum treatment effect.

Ideas & Opinions - John Vaughan: George Boardman may need to do better homework
George Boardman may need to do better homework In response to George Boardman’s February 6th column, it appears George is generalizing a bit too much without actually doing his homework. If he had done that, Mr. Boardman might find that: The EIR lists significant and unavoidable impacts…to noise, traffic, and aesthetics. The EIR ignores dozens of expert opinions that question a long list of EIR conclusions and proposed mitigations.
Ideas & Opinions - John Vaughan: Rise Gold full-page fairy tale - nice try
There is so much to unpack in responding to the paid advertisement on the last page of The Union on 12/01/23, authored by Joe Mullin, the new President & CEO of Rise Gold. It’s hard to know where to start. First, Mr. Mullin’s letter is an advertisement. Advertisements are designed to sell something and are not always factual. They tell stories, sometimes like fairy tales – sort of based in reality but not quite. In my opinion, we should take what Mr. Mullin says with a big grain of salt.
Ideas & Opinions - John Vaughan: Rise Gold’s corporate culture - Lawyers, lawyers and more lawyers
Last month, I wrote about the corporate temper tantrum Rise displayed after the unanimous Planning Commission vote against their proposed project (“Comments on a corporate tantrum at Rise Gold”, The Union Ideas & Opinions, 06/10). It appears that another element of Rise’s Corporate Culture is a willingness to use threats of legal action to get their way.
Ideas & Opinions - John Vaughan: Comments on a corporate tantrum at Rise Gold
Let’s break down the Rise Gold June 1 letter to the Board of Supervisors regarding the Nevada County Planning Commission hearings of May 10 and 11 (hearing) where after months of review, hundreds of comment letters, analysis by dozens of experts, and hours and hours of public comment (both for and against the project), the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend denial of all parts of the Rise project, including not certifying the highly flawed EIR.
Ideas & Opinions - John Vaughan, The mine: It’s not about economics, it’s about risk
Since the beginning of 2022, like many other local people, I’ve spent a LOT of time studying the environmental and economic reports for the proposed Idaho-Maryland Mine. I’ve spoken to the primary author of the economic report and made comments to Planning Commissioners and Supervisors. I’ve participated as a panelist at the MineWatch Community Review of the County’s Economic Impact Report. Click this link for the video ( http://bit.ly/MW-Economic-Review).
Ideas & Opinions - John Vaughan: The tale of a wolf, and a gold mine
I’m going to tell you a story. It’s a bit whimsical but I assure you the numbers are real, directly from the recently published “Economic Impact of the Proposed Idaho-Maryland Mine”. Once upon a time, there was a small idyllic community in the foothills of Northern California. The community attracted lots of visitors, many choosing to stay and raise their families, start their own small businesses, or retire.

John Vaughan: Alternatives not considered
John Vaughan | Other Voices I have many concerns with the draft environmental impact report on the proposal to reopen the Idaho-Maryland Mine.
John Vaughan: Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood
While Mr. Rogers does not like Rise Gold’s advertising, he seems to believe that the science presented in the draft environmental impact report proves that reopening the Idaho Maryland Mine is as clear as Rise Gold’s advertising claims. Mr. Rogers seems to support reopening the mine because the science claims it’s OK.
Black Palms: The Radical Raf Simons Show That Lit up the Night
Raf Simons Spring/Summer 1998 John Vaughan looks back at Raf Simons’ Spring/Summer 1998 show, which capsized traditional ideas of masculinity April 19, 2021 ‘This Unhappy Mansion’ isn’t the title of a Raf Simons collection, but it could be, conversant as the Belgian fashion designer is with extravagant angst and sprawling disquiet, the rooms they flock to, the doors they slam.
Goring-by-Sea station celebrates 175 years
There’s cause for celebration in Goring today as residents mark 175 years of their local train station, which was first opened on 16th March 1846. The coastal West Sussex station provides rail passengers with links to nearby Littlehampton and Hove, as well as further afield Brighton and London Victoria. Southern operates all services running through the station, which prior to Covid-19, served half a million passengers every year.
Is carbon dioxide really the villain?
The two letters published in Friday’s newspaper regarding the climate need a reply. It seems that carbon dioxide is the big bad villain. When we burn coal, we are returning to the atmosphere the carbon that was used to grow ancient trees, which were then changed into coal. When we make Portland cement, we are freeing the CO2 that was locked up in the shells of ancient sea creatures, which eventually became limestone.
Carbon dioxide is not the enemy
Here we go again, “We’re all in big trouble”: and it’s all because of that evil carbon dioxide (CO2). I would like to point out an excellent example of hyperbole displayed in paragraph five of the front-page item of today’s Frederick News-Post under Seth Borenstein’s byline. “The dire effects will be felt on both land and sea, harming people, plants, animals, food, societies, infrastructure and the global economy,” my emphasis.
The Politics of socialMedia Engagement
This article is my response to an informal questionnaire from Craig Silverman of Buzzfeed back in the Fall of 2018 regarding “troll engagement” on LinkedIn. It focuses specifically on political engagement in the socialMedia environment. Which is kind of aThing now. How often do you find your self weighing in on political threads on LinkedIn? Short answer: Daily. Although there’s a qualitative range of engagement.
MongoDB Atlas cloud service adds data lake, touts multi-cloud
NoSQL database maker MongoDB continued its push into the cloud, today launching Atlas Data Lake, a cloud database service that taps into data stored in AWS S3 buckets. The vendor unveiled the data lake service in the form of a public beta at its MongoDB World 2019 conference in New York. Atlas itself has been a multiyear effort by MongoDB to move its data capabilities from the data center to the cloud.

If you are a provider of PCBs and/or electronics manufacturing services to the Department of Defense (DoD) and their prime contractors, you have no doubt noticed a significant increase in the number of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) flow-downs, scrutiny of your data management, audits of your cybersecurity processes, and inquiries into the status of your compliance with a variety of cybersecurity initiatives.
A peace-filled day, and a silent night
"The first day or so we all pointed to our countries. The third or fourth day we were pointing to our continents. By the fifth day we were aware of only one Earth." -Romanian cosmonaut Dumitru Prunariu in "The Home Planet" As you read this, something unusual is happening outside your window. It may not have penetrated your consciousness yet, but it soon will.
Is carbon dioxide pollution?
Page A5 of the Dec. 6 Frederick News-Post announced that carbon dioxide pollution was up in 2018. Included was a photo showing a plant in Poland producing plumes of smoke. Now I am willing to concede that smoke constitutes pollution, but I object to the use of the term “pollution” when referring to carbon dioxide. Would the author of the referenced article describe the oxygen produced by the green plants as “pollution”?
John Edward Vaughan
John Edward Vaughan Posted: Wednesday, May 23, 2018 11:25 am John Edward Vaughan John Edward Vaughan, 71, of Lynch Station, passed away Friday, May 18, 2018, at his residence. He was born on Monday, February 3, 1947 in Campbell County, a son of the late Herman Bennett Vaughan and Hattie Reva Tucker Vaughan. He was also preceded in death by a sister, Geraldine Vaughan Haskins and her husband, Douglas. He was a retired foreman at Moore’s Electric and was an US Army veteran of the Vietnam conflict.
Aircraft numbers don't add up
I am forced to reply to the “Clear and present danger” letter in Friday’s paper. The 150,000 aircraft operations per year at Frederick is a fantasy. If one divides that number by 365 days/year, 24 hours/day and 60 min./hour, one learns that there are 0.29 operations per minute. That is one operation every 3.5 minutes.Can anyone seriously suggest that Frederick has that much operational activity? That’s day and night, rain, snow, sleet or shine, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I don’t think so.
Hoarding behaviour: building up the ‘R factor’
Abstract Hoarding seems to be a non-specific symptom, as it has been associated with a wide range of psychiatric disorders. Validating hoarding as pathological is controversial and its nosological status remains unresolved. ‘Diogenes syndrome’ has been paradigmatic in this area, but its clinical use seems limited. Hoarding is not explicitly covered in either DSM–IV or ICD–10 and literature suggests that diagnosis of mental illness may consequently be missed in this population.
