Two years after beginning a campaign against sexually explicit and violent lyrics on record albums, Tipper Gore has moderated her tone but expanded her scope to include music videos, television programming and video cassettes.

She and her husband, Senator Albert Gore Jr., Democrat of Tennessee, met with members of the recording industry in Los Angeles in late October to discuss her record-labeling campaign. Few of the meeting's participants expected to find common ground.

While Mrs. Gore said the meeting was ''a chance to clear the air,'' she said she was under no illusion that it would change the opinion of industry officials, some of whom have said her campaign is tantamount to censorship. A New Platform for Views

Some entertainment officials said the Los Angeles meeting was an attempt by Senator Gore to make peace as he campaigns for the Democratic Presidential nomination. In fact, Senator Gore's campaign has given his wife a new platform for her views. ''It's a marvelous opportunity to make the statement I want to make,'' Mrs. Gore said recently in a telephone interview from her home in Washington.

''The Gores sought to put the most moderate and benign face on her activities,'' the president of Gold Mountain Records, Danny Goldberg, said in an interview from his Los Angeles office, ''but it didn't sway anybody.''

The meeting, requested by the Gores, was organized by the chairman of M.C.A. Records, Irving Azoff; Norman Lear, the television producer, and Don Henley, the former drummer of the Eagles rock group. Admits Making a Mistake

Mrs. Gore told the participants that the widely publicized Senate hearings in 1985, at which she called for a rating system for record lyrics, were a mistake. ''The hearings gave the misperception that there was censorship involved,'' she said.

More recently, Mrs. Gore has been on the road promoting her first book, ''Raising PG Kids in an X-Rated Society,'' published by Abingdon Press, a religious publishing house. The book, which explores depictions of violence against women and children in entertainment, touches on the influence of music vidoes.

The change in emphasis came after the Parents' Music Resource Center, a Washington-based organization started by Mrs. Gore and the wives of other Government officials, successfully lobbied the recording industry to print potentially offensive lyrics on the album covers, where parents could determine their suitability for children, or to place warning labels on the album jackets themselves.

Although the group, which is now devoting most of its efforts to educating parents rather than lobbying for legislation, has not taken an official position on videos, Mrs. Gore has lobbied the Music Television Network, or MTV, to cluster violent or sexually explicit vidoes during evening hours.

''It's the youth market they're going after,'' she said. ''We're talking about the impact on young children and pre-teens.''

Mrs. Gore and other Parents' Center officials first met last fall with executives of MTV, the dominant cable-music channel, to propose clustering explicit videos, a suggestion that has not been accepted by MTV. 'Exceptional Savagery'

Mrs. Gore said videos by heavy-metal rock groups, such as Motley Crue and Twisted Sister, frequently feature what she called ''exceptional savagery with special effects that leave nothing to the imagination.''

The Parents' Center group sponsored a symposium in October in Washington at which the Surgeon General, Dr. C. Everett Koop, and other health officials warned that explicit sexual and violent imagery in music videos exerts a dangerous influence on children and adolescents, and could lead to suicide, satanism, and drug and alcohol abuse.

Dr. Koop said many videos ''are a combination of senseless violence and senseless pornography to the beat of rock music.''

The senior vice president of MTV, Marshall Cohen, said videos already pass stringent standards before being broadcast. ''We think if they make it through standards, they should be on MTV,'' Mr. Cohen said. He added that videos were bound to spark protest because ''rock-and-roll has always been somewhat rebellious and on the edge.'' Companies Adopted Proposal

Mrs. Gore's record-labeling campaign has been considerably more successful. The Recording Industry Association of America, whose members include CBS, Atlantic, Warner and Elektra-Asylum Records, adopted her proposal in November 1985, stipulating that the companies would decide which lyrics were potentially offensive.

The president of the association, Jay Berman, said all member companies were adhering to the agreement.

Although at first disappointed, Mrs. Gore more recently said the agreement was working well. ''We're running up against a more cooperative spirit,'' she said, speaking of the period since early this year. 'Explicit Lyrics'

Mrs. Gore noted that even some independent labels, such as Geffen and Enigma, have begun using the labels, which read: ''Explicit Lyrics -Parental Advisory.''

Mr. Goldberg, however, said the record-lyric campaign was losing momentum, weakened by changing political currents and reduced news coverage. ''Their attempt to scare the living daylights out of parents has reached a dead end,'' he said.

''There was an addictive quality to the press coverage they got during the Senate hearings,'' Mr. Goldberg said, ''but the climate of the country changed after 1986.'' Record companies no longer feel pressure from Mrs. Gore's campaign, he said. Next Target: Movies on Cassette

Citing dozens of inquiries a week to the Parents' Center from concerned parents, Mrs. Gore said support for the campaign has never been stronger. ''The interest in this is widespread and grass roots,'' she said.

Mrs. Gore said she was stung by the entertainment industry's image of her as, in her words, ''an uptight woman who wants to censor music.'' But that has not stopped her from making video cassettes her next target.

Mrs. Gore said she advocates a rating system for video cassettes modeled after that system used by the Motion Picture Association of America to rate motion pictures for theatrical release. She said parents could then judge the content of films in video-rental stores even when they were not rated by the film association.

No disrespect to Glenn Frey — whose death this week is a cause for genuine mourning — but the Eagles were, quite simply, the worst rock and roll band.

And hating the Eagles defines whether a music fan is a fan of music or just a bandwagon-jumper.

EAGLES LEGEND GLENN FREY DEAD AT 67: STARS REACT TO LEGENDARY GUITARIST'S PASSING

Through the early 1970s, the Eagles defined the “easy listening” genre, as if rock and roll is supposed to be a warm glass of milk to get you to bed.

Remember during the peak of this band’s fame — 1972-76 — Lou Reed put out “Walk on the Wild Side” and the LP “Berlin. David Bowie did “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.” The Stones did “Exile on Main St.” The Sex Pistols formed. Even Eagle-influenced Neil Young went on a bender with “On the Beach” and “Tonight’s the Night.”

EAGLES LEGEND GLENN FREY DEAD AT 67

But the Eagles kept churning out pop pap: “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” “Desperado,” “Take it To the Limit,” “One of these Nights,” “Already Gone” and “Best of My Love,” which to this day sounds even too soft for an elevator.

Even the band’s most-played song, “Take it Easy,” is a soulless take on Jackson Browne’s version, which at least suggests that the girl in rapidly decelerating flatbed Ford might have something on her mind than sharing a soda at the diner. Frey even co-wrote the song — which shows how poorly his Eagles bandmates did by him.

EAGLES MUSICAL MAY BE COMING TO BROADWAY

How generic were the Eagles? When the much edgier and much more musically inventive Steely Dan needed a band to mock, it chose the Eagles.

“Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening,” a cuckholded husband tells his wife so that the people next door won’t think anything is amiss in the house.

Walter Becker and Donald Fagen captured it in one line: the Eagles were suburban conformity, writ large — the music you mom and dad would let you play on the living room hifi (you could go upstairs and listen to the Clash after dinner).

Even the Eagles’ signature hit, “Hotel California,” endures only because of its mysterious lyrics, which hint at political upheaval in the Golden State. But the song offers little for anyone but a small group of nerds trying to decode it. It’s the Eagles’ version of “American Pie,” a solid song, but ultimately a novelty one.

This diatribe has one caveat: Joe Walsh. The greatest of all Eagles always kept his soft-rock comrades at arm’s length, the better to maintain his sanity and his outside identity as a musician who had a pair (a pair of hits, I mean: “Life’s Been Good” and “All Night Long”).

THE EAGLES' DON HENLEY, GLENN FREY SUE LONG ISLAND MAN FOR CASHING IN ON BOOTLEG CONCERT FOOTAGE

There’s a reason Walsh wasn’t an original Eagle, but asked to join the band. He played guitar like a rock star. His solo (with Don Felder) in “Hotel California” is the only reason to listen to the song. His riff on “Life in the Fast Lane,” also on the “Hotel California” LP, marks the only good portion of the Eagles’ discography.

There is no greater example of the Eagles’ ultimate place in music history than an insult delivered in “The Big Lebowski,” the Coen Brothers’ icon of cool. In a seminal scene, The Dude (Jeff Bridges) gets into a cab only to be insulted by Frey singing “Peaceful Easy Feeling” over that countrified guitar. He asks the driver to change the station, saying, “Man, I’ve had a rough night and I hate the f---ing Eagles!”

He gets thrown out of the cab by the driver, who clearly doesn’t care about music, but just wanted to take it easy.

A sportscar with hot woman drives by playing “Viva Las Vegas.”

That’s all that the Coen Brothers needed to say.

Summary: The California crooners were, quite simply, the worst rock and roll band.


Three states are holding Democratic presidential nominating contests on Saturday where Hillary Clinton will try to expand her lead in the contest to secure the party’s nomination.

Bernie Sanders is hopeful that he could pick up wins in Washington, Alaska and Hawaii. While few public polls are available, all three contests on Saturday are being conducted with caucuses, a format that has favored the Vermont senator.

As he struggles to remain competitive, western states have become must-win for Sanders, who lost by large margins in earlier contests in the South.

Sanders and Clinton are competing to represent the Democratic Party in the Nov. 8 presidential election.

For more on Bernie Sanders, watch:

No states are holding Republican nominating contests on Saturday, a race where Donald Trump holds a lead over the remaining rivals U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Ohio Governor John Kaisch.

Clinton holds a sizable lead in the delegates race against Sanders. She has won 1,223 compared to Sanders’ 920. Despite needing to win about two-thirds of the remaining delegates, Sanders has vowed to stay in the race until the July convention in Philadelphia.

The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Clinton and Sanders are virtually tied nationally.

Clinton has 47% of the Democratic vote, barely edging out Sanders at 46%. The poll, which was conducted last week, surveyed 1,249 likely voters. It has a credibility interval of 3.2 percentage points.

The biggest cache of delegates up for grabs on Saturday will be in Washington, where the two will be competing for 118 delegates. They will also be facing off in Alaska, where 20 delegates are at stake, and in Hawaii, which has 34 delegates.

Why Isn’t Donald Trump Going After Ted Cruz’s Eligibility Anymore?

Sanders has been campaigning aggressively in Washington, where the demographics and format favor him. He has done better in heavily white states and those that hold caucuses.

“What this campaign is about is not just a corrupt campaign finance system, it’s a rigged economy,” Sanders told a crowd in Vancouver, Washington.

Clinton has continued to campaign despite her delegate lead.

“We are on the path to the nomination and I want Washington to be part of how we get there,” Clinton told a crowd in Everett, Washington on Tuesday. “…It’s important to show up at this caucus on Saturday.”

Summary: Washington, Alaska and Hawaii Are All Possible Wins


Hedge fund manager Kyle Bass, who runs Dallas-based Hayman Capital, tanked the stock of a little-known real estate financier Friday by revealing that he is shorting the company. Shares of a real estate investment trust (REIT) operated by United Development Funding crashed more than 30% after Bass unleashed his campaign, which accused UDF of orchestrating a $1 billion “Ponzi-like scheme.”

Investors have reason to trust Bass when it comes to real estate investments: The Texas hedge fund manager is known for making big money in 2008 by betting against subprime mortgages before the housing crisis. Last year, Bass’s bets proved prescient again when he shorted biotech stocks before drug pricing concerns caused that sector to take a dive.

UDF finances the building of single-family home projects through four public companies open to investors—but only one of them is actually traded on a stock exchange. That REIT, United Development Funding IV udf , was therefore the first to show the effect of Bass’s announcement, plummeting nearly 31% after he unveiled his short position on a website entitled UDF Exposed.

In a letter on that site, Bass alleged that UDF used money from one of the four funds to “bail out” another one that was struggling, “using new investor money to pay existing investors” in “a Ponzi-like real estate scheme.” Bass expects that the firm’s downfall will be bankruptcy, calling UDF “a billion dollar house of cards” that “is now on the verge of collapse.”

UDF has been under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission since April 2014, the company disclosed in December, responding to what it called “market rumors” and “misleading anonymous posts.” In its response, UDF said that a hedge fund had built “a significant short position” of more than 4 million shares of its publicly traded REIT, and that it believed the fund was “trying to unlawfully profit by manipulating and depressing the price” of the shares—but it did not name the fund.

The hedge fund, we know now, was Bass’s Hayman Capital, which had posted an unsigned research memo entitled “A Texas-Sized Scheme: Exposing The Darkest Corner of the REIT Business” on the online investor forum Harvest Exchange. In outing himself as the UDF short-seller Friday, Bass launched a publicity blitz against his target, even taking out Google keyword ads to promote his website criticizing the company.

UDF CEO Hollis Greenlaw denied Bass’s accusations in a rebuttal posted on the firm’s homepage, calling Bass’s website “false and misleading.” UDF, he said, ensures that its financial reporting is accurate and that it is in compliance with the law; the company is also cooperating with the SEC, which has not accused it of any wrongdoing. The REIT that Bass is shorting, Greenlaw continued, has not suffered any realized losses in its portfolio, and its loans are “underwritten based on collateral value.” Greenlaw also warned that he expected Hayman Capital to stick with its campaign in order to profit off the fall in UDF’s share price: “And we will defend our funds aggressively against these unfounded accusations,” he said.

Summary: He also predicted the mortgage crisis in 2008.


English, Math, and Computer Science. Now all three are required courses to graduate high school in the Chicago Public Schools.

On Wednesday, the third largest school district in the U.S. rolled out the new computer class requirement, which will take effect for next year’s freshmen, the class of 2020.

Get Data Sheet, Fortune‘s technology newsletter.

The high school requirement is a shift: While more than half of U.S. states allow computer science courses to count towards regular math and science requirements, Chicago is adding in one additional computer science credit. The Los Angeles Public School district has a similar requirement.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel touted the new one credit requirement as a pipeline to careers: “Requiring computer science as a core requirement will ensure that our graduates are proficient in the language of the 21st century so that they can compete for the jobs of the future,” he said in a press release.

The news comes on the heels of President Obama’s “Computer Science for All” Initiative, a push announced in January that would push over $4 billion dollars into K-12 computer science across the country, providing funding for more teacher training and new equipment.

For more on Chicago’s education plans, check out the following Fortune video:

“No matter what field our students pursue, having exposure to STEM will provide critical skills and training for success in their careers and in life,” Chicago Public Schools CEO Forrest Claypool said in a release.

The number of computer science job openings is on track to grow faster than average, from 3.9 million in 2014 to 4.4 million in 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While today the field has nearly 600,000 job openings, the BLS predicts a job gap of over a million open positions by 2024.

Picture your dream vacation. It probably doesn’t include desperately searching for an available wi-fi signal so you can check your work emails, does it? Yet these days, going away on vacation doesn’t usually mean leaving the office behind. Many people often find themselves tapping away on their smartphones, either in an attempt to field urgent questions, or to avoid the dreaded scenario of going back to work to hundreds of unread emails. Either way, many of us end up working when we’re supposed to be getting away from it all.

This is no longer a problem for employees at the German company Daimler. The car and truck maker has implemented a new program that allows employees to set their email software to automatically delete incoming emails while they are on vacation. When an email is sent, the program, which is called “Mail on Holiday,” issues a reply to the sender that the person is out of the office and that the email will be deleted, while also offering the contact information of another employee for pressing matters.

“The idea behind it is to give people break and let them rest,” says Daimler spokesman Oliver Wihofszki. “Then they can come back to work with a fresh spirit.” Not to mention, an empty inbox.

Unsurprisingly, the program — which is optional — has gone down well with the company’s German employees, about 100,000 of which have company email addresses, according to Wihofszki. He says that although the company hasn’t done any polling as to whether the service is popular, anecdotal feedback has been positive. “A colleague used it a few weeks ago and she loved it.”

Though it might seem radical, Daimler’s program fits into a wider phenomenon that’s spreading across Germany and other parts of Europe. Volkswagen and Deutsche Telekom, for example, have made efforts to stop emailing their staff during the evenings. Germany’s Labor Ministry has started encouraging managers to stop emailing or contacting employees outside of working hours by implementing a practice within its own ministry so that no one “who is reachable through mobile access and a mobile phone is obliged to use these outside of individual working hours.”

And then there’s France, which earlier this year was the source of many incredulous news headlines for its stance on post-6 pm work emails. No, despite what the headlines said, France didn’t “ban” work emails after hours. But a federation of employers and two unions of workers did form an agreement to allow employees the right to completely disconnect from their work for a set number of hours a day.

It might be easy to dismiss German and French companies embracing limits on work email as a typical European view of work, along with shorter work weeks and longer stretches of paid vacation time. But it’s not as if worker productivity in either country is pitiable. In fact, according to figures from the OECD, German and French productivity is among some of the highest in Europe and not all that far behind productivity in the U.S.

But while this sounds all well and good and oh so European for French and German workers, is a limit on out of the office work email something that U.S. businesses should try to adopt?

After all, Americans definitely deal with their share of work email. A poll conducted by Right Management, more than half of the respondents said that they’d been sent work emails by their managers or bosses in the evenings, weekends or while on vacation.

“The boundaries of the workplace are expanding and now reach deeper into employees’ lives, especially now that mobile technology is taken for granted,” said Monika Morrow, the senior vice president of career management at Right Management. “Many find they can no longer just leave the office at the office, and instead will get emails or calls while commuting or shopping, or even sitting down to dinner.” Morrow also asks, “this a convenience or an imposition?”

Whether people view after hours work emails an imposition or not, many do report that spending a lot of time checking emails does impact their stress levels. From a recent Gallup poll:

U.S. workers who email for work and who spend more hours working remotely outside of normal working hours are more likely to experience a substantial amount of stress on any given day than workers who do not exhibit these behaviors. Nearly half of workers who “frequently” email for work outside of normal working hours report experiencing stress “a lot of the day yesterday,” compared with the 36% experiencing stress who never email for work.

Yet, despite the polls and examples set by the Europeans, there doesn’t seem to be much groundswell support for implementing limits on after hours work email in the U.S. So, sadly, it doesn’t look like Americans are going to be getting any reprieve from the late-night emails or Sunday afternoon memos. Let’s hope, however, that some people can take some inspiration from the Germans and maybe, just maybe, stop checking their inbox while on vacation.

Summary: A German company has introduced an auto-delete program for emails to out-of-office workers.  Should the the U.S. follow suit?


ROASTING a batch of fennel a couple of weeks ago, it occurred to me that its relatively long cooking time begged for it to serve as the base for a slightly more complicated dish.

In the Mediterranean and in coastal California, which has a similar climate and geology, fennel is often used as a base for fish, either whole or in fillets. More often than not it is wild fennel, which cooks quickly and imparts its flavor to the fish but is itself not much in the way of eating; more herb than vegetable.

The kind of fennel we see in supermarkets (which, almost needless to say, is cultivated, not wild) is wonderful when cooked to full tenderness, so I thought it might make a good base for chicken, which is heavier than fish and takes longer to cook. The idea was that the fennel would lend its flavor to the chicken, the chicken would lend its juices to the fennel and the creation would need little else.

The results were better than expected. Garnished with parsley and served with a bit of lemon (especially when caramelized, fennel can be quite sweet), the dish has an elegant look and delicious, surprisingly complex flavor.

Of course you have to start with a decent chicken, but those are finally easy enough to come by. Given chicken's tendency to become dry during cooking, I'd suggest one of two options: Use all drumsticks and thighs; these will flavor the fennel brilliantly, remain moist even if you overcook them slightly, and give you the crunchiest skin. (If you separate drumstick from thigh at the joint, a simple cut, you'll also reduce cooking time by about 10 minutes.) Or cut up a whole chicken. If you do this, cut apart the drumsticks and thighs so they cook almost as quickly as the breast pieces. Even then, you may want to remove the breasts early to keep them from drying out.

Summary: Fennel's relatively long cooking time begs for it to be served as the base for a slightly more complicated dish.


MPW Insider is an online community where the biggest names in business and beyond answer timely career and leadership questions. Today’s answer for: How do you build a strong team? is written by Robin Koval, President and CEO of Truth Initiative.

It is often said that the difference between personal success and failure is a great team. I couldn’t agree more. No matter how smart, talented, driven or passionate you are, ultimately your success will depend on your ability to build and inspire a team to work well together. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to build teams from scratch as an entrepreneur and to join pre-established teams as a leader. In both cases, the most important traits I looked for weren’t found on resumes. While qualifications may get you in the door, character gets the job. The two character traits I look for are (1) is this person “nice” and (2) do they have “grit.”

At the company I co-founded, The Kaplan Thaler Group, we determined niceness with the “receptionist test.” Our ad agency had become very successful and we were attracting some major league talent. But a candidate’s awards weren’t as important as their behavior. Of course I expected folks to be nice to me – I was the CEO. But once they left my office, I would always ask the receptionist whether the candidate had greeted them nicely, thanked them for offering a beverage or made small talk while waiting. If the person was not nice, they failed the test, and didn’t get the job no matter how talented they were. You can train skills, but it’s much harder to train character.

I’m also much more interested in people who have a higher “grit” than “it” factor. Sure, a fancy university degree and perfect SAT scores are valuable, but in my experience I have found that individuals with high levels of grit and tenacity are more likely to succeed than those who may appear “smarter” on paper. Building a strong team is challenging but if you get it right, everybody wins. Here are some of my best tips for creating a dream team:

Hire based on differences, not sameness Look for people who have diverse lives, skills, cultures and backgrounds. Diversity prevents teams (and companies) from getting stuck inside a bubble. At our ad agency, we hired stand-up comics, journalists, former medical students and artists to staff our creative department. And while the advertising business is widely considered to be a field for young people, we always had a mix of ages and experiences that reflected the audience we were trying to reach with our work.

Mix optimists and pessimists The optimists will have the mind set to imagine the future. The pessimists will make sure you have a solid plan B to deploy if plan A fails. This combination will make your organization resilient; an essential quality of a strong team.

Listen up As the leader, you should be the one who listens the most. Larry King once said, “I never learned anything while I was talking.” And the Dalai Lama’s agrees, “When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new.”

Identify the anchors, riders and rowers This is especially important when you inherit a team as a new leader. People tend to fall into three categories: anchors, riders and rowers. Quickly identify the rowers: they are immediately on board with you’re ideas and willing to help model behaviors for others. The riders are in the middle: they aren’t sure of you, the mission or where they stand. You can convert them into rowers, but you have to listen, spend time and communicate your vision to find out what it will take to get them on board. And the anchors are eternally dissatisfied and disengaged. The best course of action is to try to transition them to a different department or role as quickly as possible: they will never be on board and could prevent other team members from doing their best.

Build a bigger pie We are all prone to fighting for our own “slice of the pie” — to get individual credit for winning that new client or creating that terrific idea. But if you can focus your team on the fact that the pie isn’t finite, and that with collaboration and grit we can all build and share a “bigger pie,” you are more likely to succeed.

Reward, recognize and retain According to the current edition of The Conference Board Job Satisfaction survey for the eighth straight year, less than half of U.S. workers are satisfied with their jobs. Recognition is key for building a strong team and keeping them in place. As Harry S. Truman said, “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” Give credit, give thanks and give back. It’s often its own reward.

A co-author of this piece, Dr. Ralph Greco, from Stanford School of Medicine, was interviewed in our story about the mental health of American physicians, published in the Sept 7, 2015, issue of TIME magazine. His co-author, Rhoda Feldman, is the mother of the late Dr. Greg Feldman, one of Dr. Greco’s former residents.

Every year we lose as many as 400 promising, talented doctors, whose lives our society can ill afford to lose, to suicide. Almost five years ago, Greg Feldman was one of these physicians. He was 33 years old, a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Medical School and had completed a 5-year residency in general surgery at Stanford. Then, four and a half months after beginning advanced training in vascular surgery in Chicago, he died by suicide. We lost him needlessly, and for that matter, so did all the patients he could have saved and all the young surgeons he could have trained.

What makes a man full of talent, full of empathy and full of love, a man with no history of depression or substance abuse, end his life? Is the culture of training programs to blame?

It is long overdue that the medical profession take a cold hard look in the mirror and acknowledge the brutal and often thankless road of medical training. It should surprise no one that a hierarchical program, where obedience and respect for those senior was mandatory, would breed abusive behavior. Stress and burnout are now deeply embedded in the medical profession.

In 2009, the American College of Surgeons surveyed its 20,000 plus members about this, and received almost 10,000 responses. Surgeons reported stress and burnout, alcohol and drug abuse, as well as suicidal ideation far higher than the general population. Moreover, a third of respondents said they would not recommend a career in medicine to their children. All of this should have been a wake up call for those of us in the profession, but again was mostly ignored.

Just as it has taken more than a decade to acknowledge that working more than 100 hours a week has deleterious consequences, it will take time and hard work to change the culture that drives young residents and those in fellowships to despair. The suicides of two more residents in major New York teaching hospitals must create a groundswell of support for the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) to require that every training program establish a curriculum to bring the lives of its residents and fellows into balance and to enforce zero tolerance for abuse, humiliation or ridicule of trainees.

The medical profession can be extremely proud of a stellar record of teaching residents how to take care of patients. Now it is time to teach them how to take care of themselves. The repercussions of yet another young life snuffed out, while doctors stood idly by, would be disastrous.

Rhoda Feldman is the mother of the late Greg Feldman and a retired educational consultant. Ralph S. Greco, MD, is Johnson and Johnson Distinguished Professor of Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.

Summary: The harsh culture of medical training is taking a toll on young physicians


To his teammates at Long Island's Mepham High School, it seemed junior Ken Carney could get away with anything. There was the time he got booted from a baseball game for cursing out the umpire, then tossed from the team when he shouted and swore at his coach. There was the sexual threat he made in class against a female teacher last June. And perhaps most ominous of all, there was the angry statement he made late this summer to a freshman on the junior varsity: "You better not even think of going to sleep - and you better not tell.

" Yet there was Carney last August, at sleep-away football camp in Pennsylvania, witnesses told police, clutching a broomstick dipped in Mineral Ice and leading a bizarre, week-long sex attack on freshmen half his size. More than three months later, a clearer picture continues to emerge of the hulking 16-year-old at the center of a scandal that has rocked Bellmore and Merrick, L.

I. In interviews with friends, relatives and attorneys of the victims and friends of the defendants, Carney is depicted as a troubled teen ready to go off. The explosion that came on an August night at Camp Wayne in Preston Park, Pa., led to the hazing-turned-sexual attack of three younger players. By week's end, the victims - two were 13 at the time and one 14 - had been sodomized numerous times with pine cones, golf balls and a broomstick, often in front of a cheering crowd of teammates, police say. Relatives of the victims have placed substantial blame on administrators and coaches for allowing Carney to take the trip to camp. "I don't know why this kid hasn't been dealt with," says an aunt of one of the victims, who spoke on the condition that she be identified only as Sue. "The fact that he was allowed to go was the first mistake. He had already threatened one of the players.

" On Nov. 21, Carney and his senior lineman pal, Phil Sofia, 17, pleaded guilty in juvenile court in Honesdale, Pa., to three counts of involuntary sexual deviate intercourse. Carney, Sofia and Thomas Diasparra, a junior who turned 16 this fall, have now each admitted to taking part in the sodomy attacks. After spending about two months being evaluated by social workers and psychiatrists in a Pennsylvania facility, Carney and Sofia will be sentenced early next year. The stiffest penalty they face is imprisonment at a juvenile detention center until they turn 21. Because he agreed to testify against his two friends, Diasparra will be sentenced to probation in a plea deal, sources close to the case say. The three defendants have not been identified by law enforcement officials because they were prosecuted as juveniles, but the Daily News is using their names because of the horrific nature of the crimes. Each could have faced 20 years in prison if they were convicted as adults. During a November hearing in Honesdale, a Wayne County prosecutor read from Carney's school record, citing 12 disciplinary actions, sources say. Sofia, a Boy Scout who was on his way to becoming an Eagle Scout, and Diasparra, whose parents are big boosters of the football program, had no known run-ins with school disciplinarians. Neither boys' family responded to requests for comment. But Carney's awful track record in school wasn't the only thing that set him apart from his co-defendants. There also were problems at home. His parents, Christine and Kenneth, divorced several years ago and in recent years had filed orders of protection against each other. Carney's father had other legal problems: His five-page rap sheet includes five stints in jail. The arrest record reflects a long history of drug abuse for the elder Carney, who died suddenly of natural causes in October. Christine Carney declined to comment for this story. As news spread about the attacks and Carney's troubled background, the Mepham community grew polarized in unforeseen ways. Many parents expressed shock over the attack and were critical of how the school district handled it, but other residents thought the school went too far by cancelling the Mepham Pirates football season and firing the coaching staff. Three outspoken critics received death threats in the mail, and weeks after the attacks became public knowledge, some Mepham students were still teasing the victims, calling them "broomstick boy" and "butt pirate.

" Many people in the communities of Bellmore and Merrick, convinced the attacks and subsequent scandal would not have occurred if school administrators had kept Carney home from camp. The most recent blip on Carney's disciplinary record is the one that has drawn particular ire from parents of players. It took place at football practice in August, just days before the squad left for camp. Carney shoved a freshman out of the water line. When the younger player shoved back, Carney warned him not to fall asleep at camp. The message was clear. That player's parents notified Mepham High School principal John Didden and football coach Kevin McElroy. The educators met with Carney and told him to behave at camp. Steven Woycik, an attorney for one of the victims, says Mepham administrators - who did not return calls for comment - clearly shirked their duty. "The writing was right in front of their faces," Woycik says. "One of the accused threatened to get someone at camp and the principal and coach did nothing about it.

" In spite of his troubles, Carney still counts some supporters in the Mepham community. Friends say that heading into camp Carney was making the most of his life. He had grown to love sports, and he met a girlfriend who stuck by him even after he was charged. "He definitely has the bad-boy reputation in the school and in the community. From day one, this case has been about him. People have been looking to lynch him," says a parent whose children are pals with Carney. "But I've always found him to be a respectful kid. He wanted people to think he was a tough guy. I've always found him to be a pussycat.

" Sofia and Carney still may get as little as probation for their crimes - a prospect that sickens many parents in the Mepham community. Wayne County District Attorney Mark Zimmer, who says he is prohibited from commenting on juvenile cases, petitioned unsuccessfully to move the cases into adult court. Based on witness accounts of the attacks, it is not surprising that prosecutors wanted to try the three defendants as adults: The attacks usually involved the 250-pound Sofia sitting on top of a victim, while Carney violated the boy with the broomstick, the victims would later tell their parents. "The attacks occurred at night and in between practices. Sofia was doing the holding down. Diasparra was more of a lookout," says a friend of one of the victims. "Carney was the sicko with the broomstick - until Sofia got into the act.

" Duct tape and loud rock music muffled the victims' screams. Often, up to a dozen teammates watched and cheered the torture, the victims told their parents. Diasparra's role was usually that of the lookout. The coaches cabin was just 50 yards from the two cabins where the attacks took place. Carney and Sofia added pine cones and golf balls to their arsenal - dipping the objects and the broomstick in Mineral Ice, a toxic external ointment for sore muscles. The victims were also forced to simulate oral sex on a banana and to lick each others' nipples. By some accounts, the attackers grew tired of the assaults and allowed the victims to return to their bunks with golf balls still inside of them. By other accounts, Sofia would call an end to an attack when it had gone too far. Similar assaults were repeated throughout the five-day camp, and the three victims told their families. Those assaults also included beatings. "They were told to close their eyes, and then they were punched hard in the stomach," says a family friend of one of the victims. They also were forced to shout racial slurs at their black teammates. "They had to yell (the n-word) and say things like 'Go pick some cotton,'" the family friend of a victim says. "These kids went through hell and back," says Sue, the victim's aunt. "To do something as horrendous as this and not have a harsh consequence is sending out a terrible message - that kids can carry out horrific crimes on other kids without facing serious consequences.

"We put together this very moving montage of Bachelor Ben... staring at nothing," Kimmel told his audience after the finale of "The Bachelor" Season 20 aired on Monday night.

Accompanied with slow piano music, the montage shows Higgins staring into the distance in Warsaw, Indiana, Jamaica, and basically everywhere else he was shot for the hit reality show.

Apple aapl may be planning to change the name of its desktop operating system to MacOS, judging by recent clues.

The operating system has used the name OS X since 1999, when it emerged as the successor to Mac OS—plus ça change and all that.

According to 9to5Mac, a new Apple web page about its environmental initiatives referred to “MacOS” as the operating system for computers such as the MacBook and iMac. That reference has since been tweaked to boring old “OS X.”

Get Data Sheet, Fortune’s technology newsletter.

A simple mistake? Maybe, but a Brazilian site recently spotted a “MacOS” reference in the latest version of OS X, which was released last month.

The new/old name would certainly be more in line with Apple’s other operating-system names, such as iOS, watchOS and tvOS.

Incidentally, the point of that environmental-initiatives page was for Apple to explain its product life cycles. In case you’re wondering, it expects desktop and Apple TV devices to be used for four years, and iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches to be used for three.

Summary: Another clue has emerged to suggest Apple might change the name of OS X to "MacOS."
