Does today’s workload predict tomorrow’s stress, fatigue, and other strain states? Exploring directionality in daily dynamics
Abstract We examined whether whole day workload predicts strain (e.g. stress, fatigue, impaired cognition) experienced on the next day, and/or whether strain predicts next-day workload. Data were analysed (using dynamic structural equation models) from 196 adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who completed two weeks of 5 to 6 daily ecological momentary assessment (EMA) surveys.

Aurora Gang Member Gets 35 Years For Murder
On an evening in late May, 2021, 46-year-old Samuel Ortiz-Rodriguez of Aurora was standing outside a residence talking with a few individuals. At that moment, three street-gang members from a nearby neighborhood walked by and mistakenly identified him as a member of a rival gang. One of the gang members shot him dead.

Preparing Senate Run, Rep. Carolyn Maloney Loses Democrats’ Embrace
The conversation was not going well. Dennis Mehiel, the powerful Democratic fund-raiser, had Representative Carolyn B. Maloney on the line. And she was obviously unhappy.

Gillibrand, New York’s newly appointed senator, whom Ms. Maloney plans to challenge in the primary next year. “She said she would consider the fund-raiser a personal affront,” a person with direct knowledge of the conversation said.
New York Will Lose Two House Seats, and New Jersey One
WASHINGTON — New York will lose 2 of its 29 seats in the House, while New Jersey will lose 1 of its 13 seats, because of population shifts reported by the Census Bureau on Tuesday. The last time New York had 27 House seats was in the early 1820s, when the chamber had 181 seats. The census figures usher in a once-a-decade process in which state legislatures must redraw boundaries for Congressional districts on the basis of population changes. There are 435 seats in the House.
Obama’s Vote in Illinois Was Often Just ‘Present’
In 1999, Barack Obama was faced with a difficult vote in the Illinois legislature to support a bill that would let some juveniles be tried as adults, a position that risked drawing fire from African-Americans, or to oppose it, possibly undermining his image as a tough-on-crime moderate. In the end, Mr. Obama chose neither to vote for nor against the bill. He voted “present,” effectively sidestepping the issue, an option he invoked nearly 130 times as a state senator.

New Curriculum From Albany: the Irish Potato Famine, or One View of It
In many ways, this debate is similar to the clashes that have erupted each time a minority group -- whether black, gay, Asian or American Indian -- has pressed for greater recognition of its triumphs and tragedies in the classroom. But the job of choosing what to include in a curriculum has generally been left to educators, not politicians. That has largely, though not always, prevented the process of deciding what facts and concepts children should learn from becoming too politicized.
