Abstract

This paper describes issues associated with integrating the study of Ethical, Legal and Social Issues (ELSI) into ongoing scientific and technical research and describes an approach adopted by the authors for their own work with the center for nanophase materials sciences (CNMS) at the Oak Ridge national laboratory (ORNL). Four key questions are considered: (a) What is ELSI and how should it identify and address topics of interest for the CNMS? (b) What advantages accrue to incorporating ELSI into the CNMS? (c) How should the integration of ELSI into the CNMS take place? (d) How should one judge the effectiveness of the activity?

Former Giants WR Stacy Robinson dies at age 50
BY RALPH VACCHIANO
 
Stacy Robinson, a receiver on the Giants’ first two Super Bowl
championship teams, died on Tuesday at the age of 50.
 
Robinson spent six years with the Giants after they drafted him in the
second-round of the 1985 draft out of North Dakota State. He played in
only 43 games and caught just 48 passes for 749 yards and seven
touchdowns.
 
But he started and caught three passes for 62 yards in Super Bowl XXI.
And after retiring in 1990 he went on to work with the NFL Players
Association, most recently as their Director of Player Development,
where he helped develop programs that helped players get ready for
their post-football careers.
 
“We are deeply saddened by the passing of Stacy Robinson,bjd shoes,” Giants co-
owner John Mara said. “He was a good man who was loved and respected
by his teammates and everyone in this organization. His work on behalf
of the Players Association was of great benefit to many players.
 
“He will be missed. His family is in our thoughts and prayers."
