- The accident happened October 20, 2010 Photo Joe Reynolds AP Authorities were investigating the incident. The hydraulic scissor lift, which can be lowered or raised depending on needs, stretched across a nearby street. According to one report, the tower stood about 50 feet above the ground. Winds in the area were gusting to 51 mph at the time, according to the National Weather Service, and the team practiced indoors Tuesday because of the blustery conditions. Sullivan indicated via his Twitter account that he was in a dangerous predicament. According to a report from WTSB in South Bend, Sullivan posted the following tweet at 3:22 p.m. ET, just as practice was beginning: "Gusts of wind up to 60 mph. Well today will be fun at work. I guess I've lived long enough." Then, at 4:06 p.m. according to the station, Sullivan posted another tweet: "Holy (blank). Holy (blank). This is terrifying.“ http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5734494 http://newsinfo.nd.edu/news/17292-homily-for-declan-sullivan/

FODERARO As a Yale undergraduate majoring in astronomy and physics, Michele Dufault was used to extreme physical environments. She worked on underwater robotic vehicles last summer as a fellow at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. She also traveled to Houston as part of a team of undergraduates chosen by NASA to perform a plasma physics experiment in reduced gravity. But it was a rudimentary machine — a lathe in a campus laboratory — that erased what everyone imagined to be a brilliant future for Ms. Dufault, who also found time to mentor girls interested in science and to play saxophone in Yale’s precision marching band. On Tuesday, just weeks from graduating, she toiled late at night inside a machine shop in a chemistry lab, as she had for weeks while working on her senior thesis: investigating the possible use of liquid helium for detecting dark matter particles. Ms. Dufault, 22, was killed when her hair became caught in the lathe, whose rotating axis is used to hold materials like wood or metal being shaped. Students and staff members were overwhelmed by the news on Wednesday, and met in small groups to share their grief. Linda Koch Lorimer, a Yale vice president and its secretary, called the death a “terrible accident” in a letter to students, and said counselors were available. A candlelight vigil was held Wednesday night in the courtyard of Saybrook College, the residential complex where Ms. Dufault lived on the New Haven campus. “ She was incredibly passionate about every sort of science,” said Joe O’Rourke, a fellow astronomy and physics major and member of the physics team. “She was the hardest-working person I know.” Connecticut’s chief medical examiner ruled the death an accident, citing the cause as asphyxia due to neck compression. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration said it would investigate; Ted Fitzgerald, a spokesman for OSHA in Boston, said the agency had jurisdiction over the lab because Yale employees also use its equipment. Yale’s president, Richard C. Levin , said in a statement that the university would also review “the safety policies and practices of laboratories, machine shops and other facilities with power equipment” operated by undergraduates, in both science and arts buildings. Until the review is complete, he said, undergraduates will have access to those places only during set hours, and monitors will be present. Mr. O’Rourke said the machine shop in Sterling Chemistry Laboratory, which he also uses, always had a staff member present during daytime hours. But many students use the shop at night; Dr. Levin said that other students who were working in the building found Ms. Dufault’s body and called the police. The chemistry department’s Web site says access to the machine shop is “strictly limited” to those who have completed an introductory shop course. Yale lists safety precautions online for another machine shop on campus, warning students: “If you have long hair or a long beard, tie it up — If your hair is caught in spinning machinery, it will be pulled out if you are lucky.” Ms. Dufault was taking an advanced course on machine shop protocols this semester, Mr. O’Rourke said. And for the NASA reduced-gravity experiment, she helped write a 60-page document on safeguards. “ She’s always been very careful,” he said. “That’s why I was shocked that this happened. I worked with her in that lab and always saw her taking the safety precautions.” Manfred Philipp, a chemistry professor at Lehman College in the Bronx, who had no direct knowledge of the Yale accident, said lathes and similar equipment were notoriously hazardous. “ You have to be really careful around a machine like this because it has immense power,” he said. “The lathe has revolving moving parts, and if your hair gets stuck in that, then your head would be pulled toward the machine.” Ms. Dufault, who grew up in Scituate, Mass., had planned to pursue a graduate degree in ocean science. At the Noble and Greenough School in nearby Dedham, she was remembered as “one of the most precocious students whom her teachers ever encountered.” “ Her mind, her sense of curiosity, her perceptiveness, her sensitivity and her enjoyment of what she did were extraordinary,” said Robert P. Henderson Jr., the head of school. “She was a true intellectual.” This article has been revised to reflect the following correction: Correction: April 16, 2011 An article on Thursday about a Yale student who was killed in a lathe accident in a campus laboratory misstated the location of Lehman College, the employer of a professor who was quoted about the danger of lathes. It is in the Bronx, not Queens.

"He was one of, if not the best, bird tracker in the world," said Mike Ward, coordinator of the critical trends assessment program at the Illinois Natural History Survey and one of Raim's supervisors. "He used radio telemetry to track animals as varied as peregrine falcons, coyotes, turtles and northern cardinals.” That work may have gotten Raim killed. Authorities from the DuPage County Sheriff's Office and the Canadian National Railway on Monday continued to investigate the death of Raim, who was struck by a train Friday morning in a DuPage County forest preserve near Bartlett. Raim had been in Pratt's Wayne Woods to monitor the effect of increased train traffic on cardinals, Natural History Survey spokeswoman Libby Johnston said Monday. A southbound Canadian National Railway freight train struck Raim, 67, about 7:30 a.m., CN spokesman Patrick Waldron said. That stretch of track has experienced increased traffic since CN bought the line from the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway in December 2008 for $300 million, Waldron said. He added that Raim was not authorized to be on the tracks, although the railway had hired the Natural History Survey, based at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, to assess the increased train traffic's impact on birds in the area. A nomadic researcher who rarely spent a night in his Danville home, Raim's most noteworthy research may have been the 2002 tracking that showed crows changed roosts every two days, a discovery that shed light on why West Nile virus spread so rapidly, Ward said. Longtime colleague and supervisor Bill Cochran noted that Raim also created a breakthrough technique to attach a transmitter to birds by sticking a false eyelash to the bird's back. Raim, who began working at the Natural History Survey in 1975, logged hundreds of thousands of miles tracking birds in Panama, Mexico, the U.S., Canada and Greenland, colleagues said. Raim also held the dubious distinction of being the subject of the most citizen calls to the Champaign County Sheriff's Office, Ward said, a consequence of Raim routinely wandering the area at all hours of the day and night while tracking. Raim routinely was courted by entities in Europe and elsewhere with higher salaries, Ward said. But he remained in the Champaign-Urbana area, primarily because he didn't want to move his dogs — two Dalmatians and a mixed hound he'd obtained from shelters, Ward said. Raim also was passionate about stray animals. Cochran recalled that Raim once recovered babies from an opossum he'd struck with his car and tried nursing the animals with an eyedropper. "He was a bit eccentric," Ward said, "but a very kind and committed person to nature and to understanding nature." TribLocal reporter Sheryl DeVore contributed to this report.

The football equipment stood unused on the field at Prestonwood Christian Academy today. Just a day after the school's beloved assistant football coach, 55-year-old Wade McLain, passed out during the varsity team's first practice of the year. "It's just not right that something like that happened to such good people. There's so many rotten people walking around in this world and it's sad to lose the good ones," said Neighbor Judy McBroom. Neighbor, Judy McBroom, says Coach McLain was a strong family man who always offered to help her with yard work. " I can testify that he was a wonderful person, wonderful family man, wonderful Christian man. He was available when anyone needed help," said McBroom. Those who knew McLain through Prestonwood had similar things to say. One woman told us Coach McLain was a father figure to her son. "He was always just so supportive to my son who had lost his dad. Just reached out a tried to let him know that he was there and supported him," said Prestonwood Christian Academy Teacher McKay Minnie. Monday was the first day High School teams across Texas could hit the the gridiron. Temperatures across D-FW spiked at 107 degrees. In Statement to The 33 News, Prestonwood's pastor said: "I was out there on the field with the coaches and team for a while yesterday and Coach McLain was very active and being himself, having a good time coaching. They had been stopping regularly for water and air-conditioning breaks, and during one break he became ill and collapsed. He was rushed to the hospital, where he passed away.We all realize life is a gift and this is one of those times when someone left unexpectedly," said Prestonwood Baptsist Church Pastor Jack Graham. The Prestonwood community says Coach McLain leaves behind a strong legacy: a loving wife, five kids, four grand kids and a championship football team. "Very uplifting, just always didn't look at the negative, always looked at the positive," said Minnie. While most other high school football teams across North Texas continued with two a days today. The Prestonwood team took the day off. Practice is expected to resume tomorrow.

Michele Dufault, a senior from Scituate, Massachusetts, was killed on April 12 in the student machine shop in the Sterling Chemistry Lab when her hair got caught in a lathe as she was working on a project. The Connecticut medical examiner's office found cause of the accidental death to be asphyxia from neck compression. In a letter dated August 15, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) told Yale the lathe lacked required safeguards and that the school's policies and practices for its operation were unsafe. Such missing features could include an emergency shut-off switch as well as a guard or shield to protect a person using the lathe, OSHA spokesman Ted Fitzgerald told Reuters. OSHA claimed these items were critical for safely operating the lathe, which dates from about 1962. Officials found other safety flaws in the shop, including warning signs that were missing and insufficient record keeping, OSHA said. A person operating the lathe alone violates basic safety guidelines, the agency added. But Yale said OHSA's assessment contained "significant inaccuracies." "The machine in question met ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards, which incorporate both training and personal protective equipment for certain types of machines and activities," a Yale statement said on Tuesday. "Machine tool training provided by Yale was extensive, consistently reinforced by professional staff, and confirmed by Yale's expert to be exemplary." Personal protective equipment was provided in the shop and students were told not to use the machines without a "buddy present," Yale said. The university, which said it was deeply saddened and troubled by the accident, has begun implementing recommendations following a review of its machine shops and equipment, and its policies and practices, with the goal of enhancing safety and accident prevention. Monitors will be present in shops at all times they are in use by undergraduates, Yale said. OSHA did not fine Yale, as it lacks the jurisdiction to do so in cases where students, rather than employees, are affected. Dufault had a double major in astronomy and physics and intended to pursue a career in oceanography following graduation. She also was a saxophonist in the Yale band.
