Organic growth in a financial practice is a function of the advisor and the firm working together, a white paper released in March by the Oeschli Institute and First Clearing found. Firms need to assess the relationships they have with their advisors and help them stay relevant for today's affluent investors. Advisors need to recognize that clients don't want a "one-dimensional relationship" and that they'll have to provide a depth of industry knowledge.
"Today's elite advisors are developing personal relationships with their affluent clients and expect no less from their firm," the white paper says. "It is these personal relationships that enable them to successfully engage in the core relationship marketing activities: introductions, referral alliance partners, intimate social events, and strategic networking."
Here are four key areas of relationship building to focus on:
1. Client acquisition is one of the weakest areas of practice growth.
According to the report, the number of advisors acquiring 10 or more clients with $500,000 or more of investable assets has declined over the past 12 months. Elite advisors, those who have acquired five or more $1 million-plus clients over the past 12 months, spend more time with their current affluent clients and develop better personal relationships with them.
Advisors need help from their broker-dealer, the report found. Over half of advisors said their BD doesn't help them develop affluent sales skills.
The report notes that few veterans of the industry have changed their approach, despite changing client demands post-recession. The resulting weakness in client loyalty, combined with the aging of these advisors' client base, puts their business longevity at risk. Furthermore, the aging of advisors themselves, and the industry's move toward hiring younger advisors, means firms need to focus on encouraging organic growth.
2. Firms need to master relationship management and relationship marketing in order to support organic growth.
Unsurprisingly, affluent clients rate in-person meetings as the most effective form of communication, followed by phone calls. Account statements and financial planning tied as the third most effective forms of communication. The report suggested firms place less emphasis on brochures and similar materials, as just 28% of affluent clients called those items effective.
Those results indicate that personal interaction is important to affluent clients. "Although financial advisors might think that they are providing high-level personal service to their best clients, four out of 10 clients with $5 million or more don't feel they are getting the level of service they desire," according to the report. Forty-five percent of affluent clients said they don't feel they're getting enough personal attention. Almost half say they get too much paperwork, and 45% say they're pitched new products too often.
3. Relationships with clients aren't the only important relationship advisors have.
The report found that firms with the best relationships with advisors had senior management teams that spent more time with advisors, which lessens the chance of advisors being recruited to other firms and builds an environment of trust.
The report found elite advisors are far more satisfied with their careers than other advisors and asks, "Are they 'very satisfied' because they are elite or are they elite because they love what they do?" The answer may be a little of both. "These elite team advisors love what they do, are committed to excellence and have developed into an elite team as a result."
The report found 44% of advisors are over 50, and 52% or between 30 and 49, "the prime growth period for a financial advisor." With just 4% of advisors under 30, firms need to work hard to develop successors. Furthermore, firms report wildly different expectations for hiring, with the number of expected new trainees ranging from 200 to 2,000.
"These figures are usually subject to both speculation and change, but the reality is that the industry needs to act quickly as the number of new advisors who are successfully graduating from trainee programs and prepared to join the ranks of the current corps of financial advisors is not high enough to address the loss of aging veterans," the report says.
4. Succession planning is where the gap between elite advisors and other advisors narrows.
Forty-six percent of elite advisors have discussed a succession plan, but haven't fully developed one, compared with 48% of all advisors. Sixteen percent of elite advisors are interested in having a succession plan, but haven't found the right person to take over; 14% of all advisors agree.
The report suggests programs that combine training and mentoring are likely to be most effective in developing new advisors. Acquiring new clients from the children of current clients is another recommendation. Just 14% of junior advisors are doing this, compared with 29% of senior advisors.
Firms should be cautious about joining a wealth management team, the report found. There's very little difference between non-elite teams and solo in key metrics like satisfaction, new assets and client loyalty, and the report suggests that as they would with anything else, advisors perform proper due diligence before forming or joining a team.

Following in Novell's footsteps, Linux distributor Xandros is the latest company to establish a collaboration agreement with Microsoft. Like the controversial deal between Microsoft and Novell, this new arrangement between Microsoft and Xandros involves technical collaboration aimed at promoting interoperability as well as a covenant not to sue over patent infringement.
Software interoperability efforts encompassed by the agreement will primarily relate to systems management technologies, server protocol interoperability, and office document compatibility. Xandros plans to implement WS-Management support in its BridgeWays cross-platform management system and will work with Microsoft to improve tools and frameworks that facilitate translation between Microsoft's Open Office XML format and the OpenDocument format. Other efforts will focus on improving interoperability and ease of management in mixed-platform networks.
"Companies today are running a mixture of Linux and Windows systems," said Andreas Typaldos, chief executive officer of Xandros. "Cross-platform data centers are a reality. To meet evolving customer needs, vendors need to recognize the value of sharing intellectual property, developing more interoperable solutions, and providing management tools that are familiar and easy to use."
Like Microsoft's deal with Novell, this agreement with Xandros includes some co-marketing plans. In a statement, Xandros says that Microsoft will establish a team trained to convey the "value propositions" of the company's collaboration with Xandros to customers and partners and "endorse Xandros Server and Desktop as a preferred Linux distribution." Although Microsoft plans to endorse the Xandros Linux distribution, Microsoft will not be selling vouchers for Xandros-related services.
The patent covenant will undoubtedly make this agreement controversial. Some have expressed concerns that Linux vendors are adding credibility to Microsoft's unsubstantiated claims regarding Linux patent infringement by entering into patent covenant agreements with Microsoft. An upcoming revision of the General Public License (GPL)—a widely used open-source software license—aims to prevent Linux distributors from making deals that involve patent covenants because such deals are perceived by some as antithetical to the principles of unrestricted redistribution inherent to the open-source software movement. The new version of the GPL 3 includes a grandfather clause for Novell, but that won't apply to Xandros. As a result of this agreement, Xandros will definitely face hostility from a vocal faction of Linux users.

Last week I went to build up my confidence (or should I say: try to get my ass kicked!!) - I went to sewing workshop. Since I bought my sewing machine I sewed only few items. I know I want to sew but I have some kind of block. Anyway - I went in order to solve this issue, mostly with myself.
I sewed this roll for marker pens for my daughters (I sewed another one at home, so they both have one). It was a great experience!
Thank you to: Miri for your patience, Maya for hosting the workshop, Karin for coordinating this!

Forum Post: Orwell on Anarchism Ⓐ
Posted 6 years ago on Nov. 18, 2013, 5:58 p.m. EST by TGN
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
I am posting these quotes by Orwell in part because there seems to be some lingering confusion on what Orwell actually said or what his position might've been regarding this subject. But also partly because it seems that the media and academe seem mainly interested in some of the things Orwell was against, rather than what he was for. Or as Chomsky put it: "George Orwell is famous for Animal Farm and 1984, which focus on the official enemy, or could at least be interpreted in this light. Had he kept to the more interesting and significant question of thought control in relatively free and democratic societies, it would not have been appreciated, and instead of wide acclaim, he would have faced silent dismissal or obloquy." Noam Chomsky - Containing the Threat of Democracy.
The first batch of quotes are from Homage to Catalonia the second from his Collected Essays. Enjoy:
"As far as my purely personal preferences went I would have liked to join the Anarchists." George Orwell - Homage to Catalonia page 116
"The Anarchists were still in virtual control of Catalonia and the revolution was still in full swing. To anyone who had been there since the beginning it probably seemed even in December or January that the revolutionary period was ending; but when one came straight from England the aspect of Barcelona was something startling and overwhelming. It was the first time that I had ever been in a town where the working class was in the saddle." ibid page 4
"Waiters and shop-walkers looked you in the face and treated you as an equal. Servile and even ceremonial forms of speech had temporarily disappeared. Nobody said 'Senor' or 'Don' or even 'Usted'; everyone called everyone else 'Comrade' and 'Thou,' and said 'Salud!' instead of 'Buenas Dias.' Tipping had been forbidden by law since the time of Primo de Rivera; almost my first experience was receiving a lecture from a hotel manager for trying to tip a lift-boy. There were no private motor cars, they had all been commandeered, and alll the trams and taxis and much of the other transport were painted red and black. The revolutionary posters were everywhere, flaming from the walls in clean reds and blues that made the few remaining advertisements look like daubs of mud. Down the Ramblas, the wide central artery of the town where crowds of people streamed constantly to and fro, the loud-speakers were bellowing revolutionary songs all day and far into the night." ibid page 5
"Yet so far as one could judge the people were contented and hopeful. There was no unemployment, and the price of living was still extremely low; you saw very few conspicuously destitute people, and no beggars except the gypsies. Above all, there was a belief in the revolution and the future, a feeling of having suddenly emerged into an era of equality and freedom. Human beings were trying to behave as human beings and not as cogs in the capitalist machine. In the barbers' shops were Anarchist notices (the barbers were mostly Anarchists) solemnly explaining that barbers were no longer slaves. In the streets were coloured posters appealing to prostitutes to stop being prostitutes." ibid page 6
"In practice the democratic 'revolutionary' type of discipline is more reliable than might be expected. In a workers's army discipline is theoretically voluntary. It is based on class-loyalty, whereas the discipline of a bourgeois conscript army is based ultimately on fear...In the militias the bullying and abuse that go on in an ordinary army would never have been tolerated for a moment." ibid page 28
"The estates of the big pro-Fascist landlords were in many places seized by the peasants. Along with the collectivization of industry and transport there was an attempt to set up the rough beginnings of a workers' government by means of local committees, workers' patrols to replace the old pro-capitalist police forces, workers' militias based on the trade-unions, and so forth." ibid page 50
"In Catalonia, for the first few months, most of the actual power was in the hands of the Anarcho-Syndicalists, who controlled most of the key industries. The thing that had happened in Spain was, in fact, not merely a civil war, but the beginning of a revolution. It is this fact that the anti-Fascist press outside of Spain has made it its special business to obscure." ibid page 50
"Except Russia and Mexico no country had had the decency to come to the rescue of the Government, and Mexico, for obvious reasons, could not supply arms in large quantities." ibid page 53
"As usual, the breaking-up of the militias was done in the name of military efficiency; and no one denied that a thorough military reorganization was needed. It would, however, have been quite possible to reorganize the militias and make them more efficient while keeping them under direct control of the trade-unions; the main purpose of the change was to make sure that the Anarchists did not possess an army of their own." ibid page 55
"During the first two months of the war it was the Anarchists more than anyone else who had saved the situation, and much later than this the Anarchist militia, in spite of their indiscipline, were notoriously the best fighters among the purely Spanish forces." ibid page 62
"I have described how were armed, or not armed, on the Aragon front. There is very little doubt that arms were deliberately withheld lest too many of them should get into the hands of the Anarchists, who would afterwards use them for a revolutionary purpose...What was more important was that once the war had been narrowed down to a 'war for democracy' it became impossible to make any large scale appeal for working class aid abroad." ibid page 68
"Up here in Aragon one was among tens of thousands of people, mainly though not entirely of working-class origin, all living at the same level and mingling on terms of equality In theory it was perfect equality, and even in practice it was not far from it. There is a sense in which it would be true to say that one was experiencing a foretaste of Socialism, by which I mean that the prevailing mental atmosphere was that of Socialism." ibid page 104
"Many of the normal motives of civilized life-snobbishness, money-grubbing, fear of the boss, etc.-had simply ceased to exist." ibid page 104
"One had breathed the air of equality. I am well aware that it is now the fashion to deny that Socialism has anything to do with equality. In every country in the world a huge tribe of party-hacks and sleek little professors are busy 'proving' that Socialism means no more than a planned state-capitalism with the grab-motive left intact. But fortunately there also exists a vision of Socialism quite different from this." ibid page 104
"Thirdly-though this was not generally known at the time-the Anarchist leaders feared that if things went beyond a certain point and the workers took possession of the town, as they were perhaps in a position to do on 5 May, there would be foreign intervention. A British cruiser and two British destroyers had closed in upon the harbour, and no doubt there were other warships not far away. The English newspapers gave it out that these ships were proceeding to Barcelona 'to protect British interests,' but in fact they made no move to do so; that is, they did not land any men or take off any refugees. There can be no certainty about this, but it was at least inherently likely that the British Government, which had not raised a finger to save the Spanish Government from Franco, would intervene quickly enough to save it from its own working class." ibid pages 153-154
"For the first time since I had been in Barcelona I went to have a look at the cathedral-a modern cathedral, and one of the most hideous buildings in the world. It has four crenellated spires exactly the shape of hock bottles. Unlike most of the churches in Barcelona it was not damaged during the revolution-it was spared because of its 'artistic value,' people said. I think the Anarchists showed bad taste in not blowing it up when they had the chance, though they did hang a red and black banner between its spires." ibid page 225 [PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT AGREE WITH ORWELL, I AM RELIEVED THAT THE SAGRADA FAMILIA WASN'T DAMAGED DURING THE UPRISING AND STILL STANDS TODAY AS AN ARCHITECTURAL WONDER. I ALSO LIKE THAT THE ANARCHISTS DRAPPED THEIR FLAG FROM IT AS A CHERRY ON THE CAKE]
From Orwell's Collected Essays:
"If I had understood the situation a bit better I should probably have joined the Anarchists." George Orwell - Collected Essays; Vol 1 page 289
re; Mairin Mitchell's book Storm over Spain:
"Her book is valuable for a number of reasons, but especially because, unlike almost all English writers on Spain, she gives a fair deal to Spanish Anarchist. The Anarchists and Syndicalists have been persistently misrepresented in England, and the average English person still retains his eightneen-ninetyish notion that Anarchism is the same thing as anarchy. Anyone who wants to know what Spanish Anarchism stands for, and the remarkable things it achieved, especially in Catalonia, during the first two months of the revolution, should read chapter VII of Miss Mitchell's book." ibid pages 290-1
Here's what Orwell was describing, (you're not likely to see this on the History deleted Channel):

I wanted to let everyone know that I have decided to stop updating this blog. While I have regaled everyone with the boys' adventures for almost a decade, they have come to the point in their development that there really isn't much more to tell. Yes they are adults, and continuing to work on independence, graduate degrees, and job skills. Yes in some way they have a lot of work to do, and in others they far surpass their peers.
But, in truth, their day-to-day world doesn't change all that much and honestly, there is not that much more to add that I believe will help others. It is all the same information on advocacy, supports, and interventions, which can be found on this blog already. Don't forget to read the right sidebar pages and links for information. Also there is a list of individual topics on the left sidebar. Everything is organized in a way that will help in the search for information.
So as the boys have now started their own adult journeys, I think the time has come for me to seek a new adventure of my own.
While I will be posting interesting articles, information, sometimes a rant, and the occasional book review on my Facebook page (you can link from the sidebar), there will be no new blog posts. However, I will update any good news as it occurs on my Facebook page as well. So for those who have followed the boys' exploits I will let everyone know when good things happen in the future.
And as I say goodbye to this blog, let's not forget life's ultimate question and answer from MrGS2's favorite book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy......because sometimes there really is no answer that makes sense.....

If you live and love the EMR, EHR and Healthcare IT world like I do, then you're enjoying all the big news that's coming out right now. A part of me thinks that the big news is coming out because HIMSS is so close, but some of the news seems like it might not necessarily be timed directly to HIMSS. (To see company news coming out at HIMSS, check out our EMR, EHR and Healthcare IT News site.)
For those not keeping track, here's a quick run down of some of the major news pieces I've seen that really point to larger trends in healthcare IT:
Meaningful Use Stage 2
We know that meaningful use stage 2 is imminent. It's just a question of when we're going to hear it. In fact, it might be announced as I'm writing this post. Neil Versel first queued us into the Meaningful Use Stage 2 Announcement prior to HIMSS, but the Twittersphere is also full of rumors about the announcement. Brian Ahier commented on my Facebook message about it:
Nothing is official until it's released, but since Monday is a holiday it is very unlikely they will wait until next week. My understanding is that the review at the OMB is complete and the proposed rule is ready to be published…
For those who want a sneak preview on what to expect in meaningful use stage 2, check out Jennifer Dennard's meaningful use stage 2 post.
ICD-10 Delayed
Many have wondered if ICD-10 would be delayed with most arguing that 5010, meaningful use and ICD-10 was a lot to change all at once. Two days ago I got an email from someone saying they thought ICD-10 wouldn't be delayed. I replied that I wasn't sure either way, but it seemed like there was movement that could make a delay quite possible. Although, I must admit that I didn't even think the ICD-10 delay announcement would happen so quickly.
Regardless of prognostication, ICD-10 is going to be delayed. You can read my thoughts on the ICD-10 Delay on EMR Thoughts.
HIMSS Acquires mHealth Summit
Maybe this feels like bigger news since it's so close to HIMSS and I can see how powerful this conference has become. You can read the press release on the acquisition here. This isn't that surprising since HIMSS had partnered with the mHealth Summit last year. I think this spells really good things for the growth of the mHealth Summit. I'm not sure I'd want to be another mHealth conference, but there's a niche for the right event.
I still have a hard time distinguishing mHealth from healthcare IT in general. There could be some differentiation, but I still believe that over time the dividing line between the two is going to be hard to see. Richard Scarfo, HIMSS' vice president of vendor events (previously mHealth Summit director) is right to be concerned that it will be HIMSS 2.0.
Navinet Acquired by Blues Plans and Lumeris
Read more about the acquisition here. I must admit that I'm still trying to process exactly what this means. Although, one thing I'm sure it means we're moving the tectonic ACO plates that will be necessary to change how we pay for healthcare.
Vince Kuraitis and Leonard Kish provide some interesting insight in this Google+ thread asking whether this is a shift from institution (enterprise) centered IT to patient centric IT or if it's becoming payer centric IT. They also mention United's restructuring of payments and Aetna's acquisition spree as indicators of the shifting plates of healthcare reimbursement.
Aneesh Chopra as Senior Advisor to the Advisory Board Company
This isn't as big of news, but it just came out so I thought I'd throw it in. For those that don't know Aneesh Chopra is now former CTO of the US. Everyone just wondered what he'd do next. Brian Ahier posted that Aneesh Chopra landed at The Advisory Board Company where he worked previously for about 10 years. Looks like Aneesh and his energy and enthusiasm will still be around healthcare. I think that's a very good thing.

I suggest to replace pretty outdated forum "Maoits" by forum
"Rafting in Nepal" . I understand that this site is mainly for trekking (and I love it and appreciate all the effort of those who run it), but essentially trekkers and rafters are the same people and it may be very convenient to have all the information in one place; I think also that it can add to the popularity of the site, a little bit of a fresh blood (which is needed).
What do you think? < and it is not too much effort - just replace the name>

The Making of a Master Educator
It takes learning from colleagues, listening to students, and lots of time.
What stands out in Stephen Bongiovi's mind is a great professor in his master's degree program. For Mary Beth Solano, it's a story about kindergarteners in the bathroom. And for Joe Galego, a lesson he learned from a nurse.
But for all of them, becoming a skilled educator took years of experience on the job and a lot of help from their colleagues. They insist there's no shortcut to achieving excellence in teaching.
Many people talk about boosting teacher quality these days. Some districts have tried offering bonuses to those who raise their students' test scores. That approach has consistently failed. Few policymakers have bothered asking skilled educators themselves how they got to be so good.
So we did that, using an online discussion board, Facebook, and other avenues.
Many who responded, like Bongiovi, Solano, and Galego, remembered incidents that shaped their evolving practice. But almost all said this is not something you learn overnight, or in a year or two. It takes time.
"The reason seasoned teachers seem to have a lot more skills is that they have had lots of opportunities to learn from their own failures and the successes of others," said Suzanne Dunn, a middle school reading teacher from Maine, on our discussion board.
What takes so long? It's learning how to work with the wide range of complex human beings found in even the most homogeneous class.
"Listening to your students is the most important skill you can learn as a teacher," said Dunn. "However, along with that comes the importance of doing something with the listening that shows students they were heard."
Great educators must know their subject matter, but that's just the start. They must also master the art of engaging young minds.
That was high school English teacher Stephen Bongiovi's focus. Now retired, Bongiovi was the 2005-2006 New York State Teacher of the Year. Several years ago, he made a surprising discovery in his own personnel files: At the end of his first year, an administrator recommended that he be let go.
That proposal was not carried out. Bongiovi doesn't know why, but he does remember that he wasn't a master teacher at first—far from it.
Bongiovi had a breakthrough in a master's program at Hofstra University, where he worked with Professor Charles Calitri. "I remember him asking me, 'Do you want to learn English, or do you want to become a better teacher?'" Bongiovi's answer—clearly the right one from Calitri's point of view—was to become a better teacher.
Calitri was all about active learning. He showed his graduate students a simple exercise for teaching students about prepositions. He drew a figure on the blackboard, and had students wad up balls of masking tape and throw them at the figure. Then he asked them to describe where the ball stuck: on the figure, over the figure, underneath, and so on.
It was a simple lesson that Bongiovi later used, but more important was the pedagogical approach.
Bongiovi also joined the National Council of Teachers of English and picked up more ideas for active learning from the group's publications. Like this one: When he assigned a novel, he asked students, working in small groups, to choose a sentence they felt was the most important in each chapter, and explain why.
Then he had the class debate the choices.
"It doesn't really matter which sentence they pick," he says. "What's important is the discussion and how it illuminates the novel."
All through his career, Bongiovi learned from colleagues, and never more than when he became department head. Part of his job was to watch less experienced colleagues teach and offer feedback. Bongiovi benefited as much as they did. "I learned from every lesson I observed."
For Mary Beth Solano, recently retired from teaching English and language arts in Colorado, the incident that most shaped her work happened before she even had her own class. She was a teaching assistant, working her way through college, when an experienced kindergarten teacher told her about losing track of two little children, a boy and a girl. "She found them in the bathroom, naked as jaybirds, apparently comparing bodies," recalls Solano. "She had the presence of mind to say to them, 'People have mostly the same body parts, but we're different in what we choose to wear. Why don't you put your clothes back on and let's see what all the kids in the class chose to wear today.'"
A memorable story, but what did Solano learn from it?
"She didn't get mad at them or make a big deal of it. In any situation, you can choose to escalate, or you can look for a way that stops what's happening but keeps everybody's self-esteem intact and gets them back on track. That story has helped me make decisions my whole life."

Joe Galego is a high school security guard in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and a trainer for other security guards. His stand-out story is from a training he took in crisis prevention back in 2002, with prison guards, nurses, drug rehabilitation workers, and others who sometimes have to deal with violent people. One rehab center nurse told the group that she once walked into a patient's room and he threw a bag of urine at her.
How was that story relevant to a high school security guard? "We analyzed that situation and realized that this man lived there," says Galego. "It was his home. She was the visitor. Maybe if she had knocked on the door before entering, he would not have felt she was invading his privacy."
In other words, try to see the situation from the other person's point of view.
That meant, when he was an elementary school guard, that he often would sit on the ground when he was working with a child so he could relate at eye level.
Now that he's in a high school, "some of them are so tall, I'd have to stand on a chair to be at eye level," he says, but his approach is the same.
Galego trains guards in non-violent intervention using what he calls "verbal judo." The first rule: Don't react as soon as something upsets you. The second: Don't take it personally. It's their anger coming out—it's not about you.
When a student mouths off at him, he's likely to respond, "I didn't expect that coming from you. I don't talk to you like that."
In his training course, he tells colleagues, "You have to remain calm and talk softly. If you scream, they've won.
"Sometimes it's tough to remember you're the adult and they are kids—with so many different backgrounds and problems."
Professional learning communities

Art teacher Maureen Gunderson and her fellow educators in Le Center, Minnesota, thought they had a great plan for improving student achievement in their small, rural town. The plan laid out how small groups of teachers would work together to evaluate and upgrade their work with students.
"We were really excited," she says. "We thought we had designed a model for small schools." So they applied for state funding that was intended for alternative compensation plans.
Six months, five rejections, five resubmissions, and one lawsuit later, state officials reluctantly approved it—on the same day they would have been forced by a court to release records detailing why all the earlier versions of the proposal were turned down. (The lawsuit was brought by Education Minnesota, a joint affiliate of NEA and the American Federation of Teachers.)
What was the sticking point? Officials never said so in writing, but they warned in a phone call that the plan would never be approved unless the district changed the way teachers were judged eligible for extra compensation.
Le Center wanted teachers to earn most of their extra pay by working with small groups of their peers, analyzing and evaluating each other's videotaped lessons. The state wanted hierarchy: teachers rated by someone at a higher level.
The Le Center program—now going strong in its sixth year—is part of a growing trend in which educators take responsibility for improving their practice by working in small groups called "professional learning communities."
Professional learning communities take many forms. In some, a teacher presents a problem and the group tries to help. Others are support groups of teachers doing research in their classrooms.
In Le Center, teachers videotape their own lessons once a semester, show the tapes to their colleagues, and get feedback. Everyone in the group benefits, not just the person presenting the tape, Gunderson says. "Sometimes you watch a tape and think, 'That's never worked for me, and now I see why! I'll try it their way.'"
National Board Certification
National Board Certification is one of the most demanding and the most rewarding professional development challenges an educator can take on.
Photo by: John Elkins
Ask NaShonda Cooke, a special education teacher in Durham, North Carolina, who earned her certificate in 2008. When a friend recruited her for the program, she says, "I had no idea what I was getting myself into."
From October through March, she estimates she put at least 10 hours a week into the process, carrying out four major projects about assessment, communication, and other skill areas which an accomplished teacher must master.
Cooke had a four-year-old and a six-month-old baby when she started, so she had to rely on family for extra child care.
Only one in three candidates is certified in his or her first year, but Cooke was one of those. She credits a strong support program organized by the North Carolina Association of Educators in which candidates worked together with the help of teachers already board certified to write their reports and assemble their portfolios. She says the most important thing she learned was, "make it your own—don't just put in all the buzzwords. What you write has to reflect who you are."
Who are the main beneficiaries of Cooke's success? Her students.
With the skills and habits of mind that she learned, she says, if you are one of her students, "you can be guaranteed that I will address your needs as an individual—not just academic, but also social and environmental needs. And I will collaborate with my coworkers to help you.
"Before I went through board certification, I didn't want anybody to think I didn't know what I was doing, so I often didn't ask for help even when I needed it. Now, I have no problem with that. The result is, I can bring more resources and more ideas to the job of helping a student."
One of the toughest parts of the program for Cooke was saying good things about herself. "I don't like to toot my own horn," she says. "But for board certification, you have to describe not just how you do your job, but how you go beyond what's required."
The program is run by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, whose board of directors consists mostly of board certified teachers. The board includes NEA President Dennis Van Roekel and Executive Committee member Christy Levings, as well as representatives from the American Federation of Teachers.
Since the program began in 1987, more than 90,000 teachers have been certified. Most states and more than 25 percent of school districts offer financial incentives for teachers seeking National Board Certification.
Elementary school teacher Gail Ritchie of Fairfax County, Virginia, had a pretty good idea what she was getting into when she applied for board certification in 1999. At the time, she had been an instructional assistant for three years and a certified teacher for five, so "I felt like I knew what I was doing, but I thought, 'Let me see if I really measure up to national standards.'"
She took a course at George Mason University that was a support group for board certification candidates. Eleven of the 12 participants, including Ritchie, achieved certification that year, and the twelfth made it the next year.
"The class had two board-certified facilitators and they pushed us along so we didn't hit deadlines unprepared," she says.
All the students gave each other feedback. She had to submit two unedited 20-minute videotapes of herself teaching. "One time, I showed a video I thought was pretty good and I was going to submit it, but other people said, 'Do you really want to send that?'"
She made a new tape.
The process is somewhat different now, but the heart of it is still self-examination. "You have yourself under a microscope. When I watched my tapes, I saw a lot that I was not impressed with. They made me rethink how I did things.
"Today, I can't do anything without running through the process in my mind that I learned in National Board Certification: Why am I doing this? What do I hope to accomplish? Is there a better way?"

The black widow spider practices sexual cannibalism, in which the female eats the male after mating - indeed, that's why they're called black widows in the first place. But males have an unexpected way of avoiding that fate.
The secret of male survival is to know just how hungry their potential mate is. That may seem ludicrously simple, but hunger really is a prime motivator behind why the females end up resorting to cannibalism - it's not actually down to anything much more complicated than that. And Arizona State researchers have been able to pinpoint a way that males can detect female hunger by smelling the silk of the females' webs.
The researchers first force-fed some females an unusually large diet of crickets, whereas another group of females received only just enough food to keep them alive. After four weeks, the latter group was obviously far hungrier and thus more likely to eat a male after mating, but the researchers weren't done.
In an attempt to fool the male spiders and to neutralize any potential variables, they first placed the males on a piece of clean, neutral silk made from a combination of the hungry and well-fed spiders' webs, and then they switched the females so that the hungry ones were on well-fed webs and vice versa.
Overwhelmingly, the male spiders picked up on which webs were made by hungry spiders and which ones were not, and then adjusted their complex mating dance accordingly. On the webs that were made by well-fed spiders, they were far more vigorous in the mating dance than they were otherwise, even though they unwittingly were in the presence of starved spiders.
All of this makes sense, considering black widows smell through their feet - and those are apparently some pretty powerful nose legs (leg noses?) that the spiders have got, since they can tell how much a female has eaten just from her web. And, as long as human researchers aren't messing with them, it appears the males are very good at using that knowledge to avoiding a grisly end to their spidery sex life.

Florida Man Says the Three Syringes Found in His Rectum Weren't His
By RJ Johnson - @rickerthewriter
January 9, 2019
A Clearwater, Florida man attempted a bold strategy after deputies discovered syringes in his rectum as he was being booked into the Pinellas County Jail.
He just told deputies they weren't his.
The Pinella County Sheriff's Office said Wesley Dasher Scott, 40, was arrested on Friday on an outstanding warrant stemming from a previous drug arrested in September. When deputies brought Scott to jail they conducted a strip search on the man.
An arrest report says Scott "removed three syringes from his rectum" and handed them to a deputy claiming that "they were not his."
When deputies initially arrested Scott, they warned the Clearwater man he could face additional charges if they discovered any contraband or drug paraphernalia on him after bringing him to jail. Scott acknowledged the officers, saying he knew what would happen, according to the arrest report.
This isn't Scott's first run-in with police. The 40-year-old's arrest history includes multiple drug and battery charges.
In addition to the previous warrant, Scott was also charged with introducing contraband to a county detention facility. He is currently being held in jail in lieu of $5,000 bail.

Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Important insights have been gained in our understanding of how immune responses mediate resistance to helminths and control associated pathological responses. Although similar cells and cytokines are evoked in response to infection by helminths as diverse as nematodes and schistosomes, the components of the response that mediate protection are dependent on the particular parasite. In this review we examine recent findings regarding mechanisms of protection during helminth infections elucidated in murine models and discuss the implications in terms of future therapies. Information is included on 1) Helminth parasite associated immune responses and reduced severity of certain harmful inflammatory autoimmune and allergic diseases; 2) Studies of tissue-dwelling parasites in murine models that develop Th2-type granulomas consisting of cellular infiltrates that resemble Th1-type granulomas; 3) Host protection through mediating helminth expulsion, or through controlling otherwise pathological inflammatory responses driven by Th1 and Th17 cells; 4) Th2 cytokines derived from innate cells; 5) Th2 cytokines, including IL-4 and IL-13, that orchestrate a potent Th2-type response by direct stimulation of both bone-marrow derived and non bone-marrow derived cell populations; 6) Complex and multi-faceted Th2-type responses elicited to a wide variety of helminths, but only certain components that are effective against a particular species; and 7) The discovery of new effector cell types and molecules contributing to the host protective Th2-type response provides additional targets for the development of novel immunotherapies and vaccines against helminths.

Baseball's top prospect, Delmon Young, returned to the field last night after serving a 50-game suspension for throwing a bat at an umpire. In a slight bit of irony, Young was actually able to return one game early as the Durham Bulls concluded a previously rain-suspended game on Monday afternoon. In that game Young appeared and singled in his only at bat (does that mean his suspension was only 49 games?). In the regularly scheduled game, Young was in his usual right field position and his usual #3 spot in the lineup. He went 1-4 with a strikeout. His single in the 3rd inning drove in a run that tied the game 1-1.
Young did meet with reporters before the game a sat down for a one-on-one interview with Bulls broadcaster Neil Solondz, that can be seen over at MILB.com. One problem with fans projecting minor league players and their future success is that 99% of what we know about them comes from box scores. This interview was one of the first times we had ever heard Young talk. We stood behind Young after the incident, but this interview changes our perception a bit.
One thing that comes across is just how young he still is. He just doesn't have that composure that you see during interviews with major league players. In the second question from Solondz, Young was asked how difficult the suspension was for him. Young does not even answer. He just shakes his head and rolls his hand as if to indicate to move on to the next question. The next question asked if Young learned anything from the suspension. Young responds by saying "That's the same question" and again rolls his hand to indicate to Solondz to move on to the next question.
During the interview you can see that he is nervous and very fidgety. He rarely makes eye contact with Solondz during the interview, constantly looking down or looking out to the field. Later on, Young was asked about his relationship with the manager and coaches and Young responds that he "keeps his distance" from the coaches. He also indicates that he has not spoken to the manager or coaches since the incident because he doesn't need to "socialize on past events". So far we are only about three minutes into the interview with seven minutes remaining, and we are already souring on Delmon Young very quickly.
Finally at the end of the interview, Solondz thanks Delmon for sitting down with him, and best we can tell Young does not respond at all, except to take off his mic and walk away. Solondz then can be seen looking towards his producers with a shrug of his shoulders and a very telling look on his face, that seems to display a bit of anger or annoyance.
According to reports, Young's attitude was much the same when he met with reporters on the field. He snapped at several reporters for asking questions they shouldn't ask and even for brushing his leg with a microphone chord. If there was any question before seeing this interview, there shouldn't be any now for Andrew Friedman and the rest of the Devil Rays front office or the fans…Delmon Young is not ready for the big leagues. We had hoped all along to see Delmon this fall in Tampa with a shot at making the team next Spring. That plan now looks to be at least a year away.

Twitter does have several options to know when users unfollow you, however, what about Facebook? How do you figure out when someone unfriends you on Facebook? Turns out there is a way to do that too.
Unfriend Finder for Facebook is a Greasemonkey script which tracks your Facebook friends and then notifies you whenever someone decides to unfriend you on Facebook.
The script tightly integrates within Facebook and sends you notifications whenever someone removes you from your list. It also alerts you when someone ignores your friend request.
The only problem of the script is that it is browser specific and only works on Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and Opera right now. There is no support for Internet Explorer yet, but you can read up some tips on running Greasemonkey scripts in IE.
You can download the script or add-on for your browser from here.

BOSTON -- Although no cure for Alzheimer's disease is yet apparent, researchers gathering here for a week-long meeting will see ample evidence that one -- or more -- may be just over the horizon.
Novel treatment approaches, new diagnostic and treatment-monitoring technologies, and recent findings on potentially modifiable risk factors for the disease are among the topics to be covered at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference, which formally begins Sunday, although pre-meeting activities are underway today.
Already, conference organizers have released results from three studies by Boston-based researchers, and announced the availability of whole-genome sequencing results from an 800-person cohort in a "big data" project.
Findings from the Boston studies included discovery of new inhibitors of the gamma-secretase enzyme -- the target of several drugs with disappointing results in phase III trials -- that showed promise in animal models of succeeding where the others failed.
Another group found that a combination of two different types of brain scans plus cognitive tests could identify patients in the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease.
And a third research team, examining genomic data from more than 1,600 individuals, uncovered variants in five genes that were associated with the speed of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's patients.
The meeting will also feature the first detailed report on a closely watched, failed phase III trial of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Topline results announced by the product's manufacturer in May had indicated that patients receiving IVIG infusions showed no slowing in cognitive or functional decline relative to placebo.
But a subgroup analysis suggested the possibility of benefit in certain patients, about which AAIC attendees will be eager to learn more.
Other areas to be addressed at the meeting include:
- New studies of drugs targeting beta-amyloid protein plaques, including the phase III trial of solanezumab in individuals with "preclinical" Alzheimer's disease just getting underway
- Novel imaging technologies and other biomarkers for detecting and measuring Alzheimer's disease pathology
- Reviews of national goals on preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease
- Reaction to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' proposal to disallow Medicare coverage of beta-amyloid brain scans except in approved clinical trials
Sam Gandy, MD, PhD, a prominent Alzheimer's disease specialist at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, told MedPage Today that he expects AAIC attendees would also be talking about the FDA's recent draft guidance document detailing the agency's data demands for new Alzheimer therapies.
In it, the FDA said it would not approve new drugs solely on the basis of biomarker data, such as results from brain amyloid scans or levels of amyloid proteins in blood or cerebrospinal fluid. The drug's maker must demonstrate positive effects on clinical measures of cognitive and functional ability.
But officials did indicate that, in patients with early and mild symptoms, relatively subtle improvements in clinical outcomes could be the basis for approval.
That announcement has been "the biggest news for the field," Gandy told MedPage Today. "This means that new drugs are now realistically likely to be approved in the next 5 years."
The "big data" project unveiled Friday involved some 200 terabytes of genomic information obtained from some 800 individuals participating in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.
In collaboration with the Brin Wojcicki Foundation, the Alzheimer's Association announced that it would be made available to researchers worldwide through the Global Alzheimer's Association Interactive Network (GAAIN), funded with $5 million from the association.
The group said it represents "the first massive whole-genome sequencing project in Alzheimer's disease." GAAIN will be led by Maria Carrillo, PhD, vice president of medical and scientific relations at the Alzheimer's Association, along with academic researchers from the U.S. and Italy.

The Renew is a tiny handheld vacuum, with an even tinier syringe nozzle, designed to suck dust, debris, and earwax out of a hearing aid. And as gross as it sounds, it might also be an effective way to improve your headphones' sound.
Particularly if you're fond of the earbuds that use a silicone insert to deliver sound deep into your ear canal while blocking out surrounding distractions. Like it or not, the inside of your ear's a dirty place, and anything you stick in there is bound to get clogged with earwax. And for $60, this simple AA-powered vacuum is an easy way to fix a pair of earbuds that might sound muffled because they're clogged with crap.
The only question then is how you go about cleaning out this little vaccum? Because emptying a container full of earwax is just about the most unpleasant thing imaginable.

All good things to keep in mind, for a script that attempts an automatic partition of a continuous glider synthesis.mniemiec wrote:I have also seen other pathological situations. For example, where two sets of gliders produce effects with trivial side-effects (such as dying sparks), but when done simultaneously, these side-effects interact non-trivially, but yield the same result anyway. This is especially useful in some cases, where the side-effects from one interaction remove debris from another.
I think that the non-trivial interacting side-effects are more of a problem for the incremental-to-continuous converter script. There will probably be some relative timings of Stage N and Stage N+1 where the side-effects interact non-trivially, and then just one or a few relative timings where the two stages can be done simultaneously.
But that just means that a binary search won't work to find the tightest continuous recipe. Every relative timing in a wide range has to be tested, or there's no way to be sure in general that the closest timing has been found. One case that comes to mind is when a glider can pass either in front of or behind another glider from a different stage. Coming in from infinity, there's an unlimited set of timings that work fine, then thirty-some ticks that don't work, and then another range of workable timings.
For the continuous-to-incremental conversion algorithm, there shouldn't be any problem with non-trivial interacting side-effects. Any candidate partition of a single set of gliders into Stage 1 and Stage 2 will have to be tested.
If you send Stage 1 gliders, then wait for some arbitrary large amount of time, and send Stage 2 gliders, and get the same result as the original un-partitioned recipe, is there any possible reason why that partition would be invalid? I can't think of any difficult cases there. In the case where side effects from one interaction remove debris from another, those gliders are really all part of one stage, and shouldn't be partitioned anyway. (?)
