This piece is one in a series of paintings by David that examines the innate drama of the Welsh landscape. Anyone who has been to North Wales will know the range of feelings that can emerge there, whether stimulated by atmosphere, weather or just a sense of 'presence'. If all art is some form of 'abstract expression', then maybe David's is a search for the gestures of painting and drawing that relate to the experience of actually 'being there'; to say the least David's work is vigorous and deeply energetic and certainly his response to the environment has been physical as well as emotional, reactions he palpably conveys to the viewer.
This is an original artwork and will be supplied with a certificate of authenticity signed by David Brightmore.

Beyond Anne Frank: Hidden Children and Postwar Families in Holland
University of California Press, Jan 16, 2007 - Religion - 406 pages
The image of the Jewish child hiding from the Nazis was shaped by Anne Frank, whose house—the most visited site in the Netherlands— has become a shrine to the Holocaust. Yet while Anne Frank's story continues to be discussed and analyzed, her experience as a hidden child in wartime Holland is anomalous—as this book brilliantly demonstrates. Drawing on interviews with seventy Jewish men and women who, as children, were placed in non-Jewish families during the Nazi occupation of Holland, Diane L. Wolf paints a compelling portrait of Holocaust survivors whose experiences were often diametrically opposed to the experiences of those who suffered in concentration camps.
Although the war years were tolerable for most of these children, it was the end of the war that marked the beginning of a traumatic time, leading many of those interviewed here to remark, "My war began after the war." This first in-depth examination of hidden children vividly brings to life their experiences before, during, and after hiding and analyzes the shifting identities, memories, and family dynamics that marked their lives from childhood through advanced age. Wolf also uncovers anti-Semitism in the policies and practices of the Dutch state and the general population, which historically have been portrayed as relatively benevolent toward Jewish residents. The poignant family histories in Beyond Anne Frank demonstrate that we can understand the Holocaust more deeply by focusing on postwar lives.

Popular passages
Page 13 - If haunting describes how that which appears to be not there is often a seething presence, acting on and often meddling with taken-forgranted realities, the ghost is just the sign, or the empirical evidence if you like, that tells you a haunting is taking place.
Page 33 - IDENTITY trauma occurs when members of a collectivity feel they have been subjected to a horrendous event that leaves indelible marks on their group consciousness, marking their memories forever and changing their future identity in fundamental and irrevocable ways.
Page 12 - Haunting is a constituent element of modern social life. It is neither premodern superstition nor individual psychosis; it is a generalizable social phenomenon of great import. To study social life one must confront the ghostly aspects of it.
Page 352 - Nora fears, purely in history. ln my reading, postmemory is distinguished from memory by generational distance and from history by deep personal connection. Postmemory is a powerful and very particular form of memory precisely because its connection to its object or source is mediated not through recollection but through an imaginative investment and creation.
Page 13 - The ghost is not simply a dead or a missing person, but a social figure, and investigating it can lead to that dense site where history and subjectivity make social life.
Page 289 - It was one of the best things that ever happened to me, because if you can bounce back, you can learn a great deal.
Page 99 - ... attention in the way that it did in Belgium and France, nor was the return of the survivors anxiously awaited. The atmosphere of indifference towards repatriates is illustrated, among many other reactions, by the Dutch historian Hondius. who recorded the welcome one Jewish survivor received: 'Well, quite a lot of your kind came back. Just be happy you were not here. How we suffered from hunger!'40 This very different response was reinforced by a deliberate government policy. The chaotic situation...
Page 107 - There was also an antisemitic streak in government circles and an inclination not to permit the Jews to regain the position they had had before the war. A determined struggle had to be waged by the Jews to gain recognition of their claims to the property that had been stolen from them. A government proposal to reimburse the holders of LIRO accounts with only 70 percent of the balance was vehemently denounced by the country's leading jurists, and in the end the government retracted and paid close...
Page 119 - ... Jewish guardians; in eighty-seven cases, the court had already allocated the children to fifty-one Jewish and thirty-six non-Jewish guardians. Of the rest, approximately one-third grew up in Christian homes. The further history of the OPK falls outside the province of this book, but we might add that there were quite a few cases in which judges saw fit to set aside the natural right of parents, as though their suffering during the war had not been more than most people could bear.
Page 118 - From this document it may be observed that the rescue of Jewish lives in the Netherlands did not necessarily imply the intent to preserve them as Jews: According to some people they [the children] must be given back to the Jewish community. In most cases the children were entrusted by the parents to resistance workers, and in other cases they [resistance workers], on their own, spirited them from the Germans.

The Wanted are following in the footsteps of fellow British act The Saturdays, with their own reality show for US TV which programme bosses say will be full of "music, bromance and superstardom".
Cameras will follow the boy band - 24-year-olds Max George, Siva Kaneswaran and Tom Parker, along with Jay McGuinness, 22, and Nathan Sykes, 19 - as they head to California to record their third album and prepare for their US tour.
Tom said: "The cameras can just be there to document how stupidly drunk we get and the morning after as well when we're like, 'Oh, s***! We've got to sing today and I've got no voice'."
Max added: "We've always tried to show who we are. We haven't hid much."
But he batted off questions about his friend Lindsay Lohan appearing on the show, joking: "Elvis could end up being on the show for all we know."
The show, provisionally called The Wanted Life, will also feature Siva's girlfriend Nareesha McCaffrey and Parker's girlfriend Kelsey Hardwick, and focus on their life together in their new home in the Hollywood Hills.
It is to be screened on the E! network, which has also made Chasing The Saturdays about the girl group.
The series will get its US premiere in June, with screenings further afield in the autumn.

Anupama Chopra's review: Raanjhanaa
This love story is fantastical but these are characters we could know. Their emotions move us -- so much so that when Kundan finally breaks down and cries, I wept too. Director Aanand L Rai creates an intimate and lived milieu. Anupama Chopra writes.movie-reviews Updated: Jun 24, 2013, 10:16 IST
Direction: Aanand L Rai
Actors: Dhanush, Sonam Kapoor, Abhay Deol
Rating: ***1/2
Let me begin with an honest confession. As I drove to the preview theatre to watch Raanjhanaa, I wondered how I would spend over two hours gazing at a hero as plain as Dhanush.
Until this film, I had only seen the National Award-winning actor in his blockbuster Kolaveri Di video. But my fears vanished almost as soon as the film started because in the first few minutes, Dhanush's character Kundan jokingly acknowledges his lack of good looks.
And after the first 10 minutes, I was utterly bowled over by Dhanush's energy and charm. He's outstanding as the spirited, street-smart son of a pundit in Benares who is a little boy when he embarks on his epic love story.
The object of his passion is the local Muslim beauty, Zoya played by Sonam Kapoor. This is a love so ferocious that eventually it consumes everything in its path.
But for the first half, it's also superbly entertaining. Kundan chases Zoya with the ardour of a true devotee. She is artfully careless with his emotions but he doesn't miss a beat.
The pursuit continues for years. So much so that at one point, Kundan's closest friend Murari, played by the terrific Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub, remarks: 'Pyaar na hua, UPSC ka imtihan ho gaya. Dus saal se paas hi nahi ho raha.'
The dialogues by Himanshu Sharma are the highlight of the film. The lines are pithy, earthy and wonderfully funny. Snaking his camera through the streets of Benares, director Aanand L Rai creates an intimate and lived milieu. AR Rahman's music, especially the gorgeous Tum Tak, layers the narrative further.
This love story is fantastical but these are characters we could know. Their emotions move us — so much so that when Kundan finally breaks down and cries, I wept too.
But this is where Raanjhanaa gets frustrating. Rai hits a false note as soon as the story shifts to Zoya's romance with her college friend, Akram, played by Abhay Deol.
And post-interval, when we leave Benares for New Delhi, the film derails considerably. The actors still move us — including Sonam who looks effortlessly beautiful and gives her career's best performance — but the plot becomes more and more convoluted. You are neither immersed in the film nor removed from it.
So, basically, I was crying without being convinced by the half-baked political twists and turns of the story.
Unfortunately, Raanjhanaa never fully gets back on track. But despite these flaws, I'm recommending that you see it. Especially for Dhanush who proves that eventually looks don't matter. Neither does size. All that towers is talent.

Clinical trial examines use of human immune system to fight aggressive lung cancer
Researchers at the Cincinnati Cancer Center (CCC) and the UC Cancer Institute are conducting a clinical trial examining a method to stimulate the human immune system to destroy or block the growth of lung cancer cells.
This trial could lead to a new therapy, which uses natural biological processes within the body, to eliminate cancer growth and enhance the lives of patients with recurrent lung cancer.
John Morris, MD, clinical co-leader of the Molecular Therapeutics and Diagnosis Program for the CCC, co-leader of the UC Cancer Institute's Comprehensive Lung Cancer Program, professor in the division of hematology oncology at the UC College of Medicine and UC Health medical oncologist, is the co-principal investigator on the trial along with colleagues at the Alvin J Siteman Cancer Center at Washington University in St. Louis.
"Non-small cell lung cancer, the most common type of lung cancer, remains the leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the United States," Morris says. "Despite advances in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer in the last decade, outcomes remain poor. Benefits from standard chemotherapy have reached a plateau, and further progress will depend upon identifying new treatments that specifically target tumor cells.
"Harnessing the human immune system to target lung cancer could result in the development of effective treatment options against lung cancer and potentially enhance the effect of chemotherapy."
Morris says lung cancer cells produce a number of abnormal proteins or abnormal amounts of certain proteins found in normal lung cells, and in some cancers, the abnormal protein expression may lead to an immune response against the cancer cells in a similar way that the immune system responds to an infection.
"In progressive lung cancer, however, the immune system fails to identify or respond to these abnormalities, and the cancer cells are not attacked or destroyed for reasons not yet fully understood," he continues. "This clinical trial will examine a method to stimulate the human immune system to recognize the abnormal components found in lung cancer cells and hopefully to stimulate an immune response that will stop the growth of cancer, helping the immune system of patients with lung cancer to identify and target the cancerous tissue."
Morris says the idea behind this immunotherapy is similar to the reason that patients who have received a transplanted organ or tissue from another species, like a mouse or pig, will rapidly reject the foreign tissue.
In the study, researchers put an animal gene into cultured human lung cancer cells, which is thought to stimulate a strong immune response in humans.
"These cancer cells are irradiated to prevent any growth and are then injected into patients with lung cancer, which will then stimulate the patient's immune system to kill the injected immunotherapy cells as well as the patient's own cancer cells as well."
In the study, the immunotherapy is being compared to a Food and Drug Administration-approved second-line chemotherapy drug, docetaxel, to see if the results of the immunotherapy are the same or better.
"As part of the process of destroying the immunotherapy cells, we believe the patient's immune system will be stimulated to identify as many differences between these cancer cells and normal human cells to encourage immune response against the cancerous cells based on shared abnormalities of lung cancer immunotherapy cells and the patient's lung cancer cells," Morris says.
Patients may be given up to 16 doses of the immunotherapy and will be monitored until any progression of their cancer is observed.
"We hope to test these treatments in patients with lung cancer who have progressed after initial chemotherapy to show that treatment of immunotherapy results in improved tumor stabilization or response and could potentially improve the patient's overall outcomes and survival," Morris says. "This could provide more options for patients who are in the later stages of lung cancer."

New �Twist� in the Show Brings Dramatic Surprises for the Families
During the Two-Week Challenge
This week in �Baur/Fine,� a self-proclaimed �saucy wench� who runs her chaotic household like a motley crew of pirates swaps places with a polished professional organizer who believes that bins and labels are the solution to all the world�s problems, on �Wife Swap,� MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Network.
Each week from across the country, two families with very different values are chosen to take part in a two-week long challenge. The wives from these two families exchange husbands, children and lives (but not bedrooms) to discover just what it�s like to live another woman�s life. It�s a mind-blowing experiment that often ends up changing their lives forever. This season, there's a new twist. After the rules change, the wives can call for backup, bringing in a friend or family member to help them enforce the rules and shakes things up even more with their swap family.
Tori �Mad Sally� Baur (42), her husband, �Ol� Chumbucket� John (51), and their three children, Cate (16), Millie (13), Max (6), and dog Shiloh are a modern day pirate family from Oregon. John and his best friend and business partner, Mark (aka Cap�n Slappy), are the authors of �Pirattitude� and founders of �International Talk Like a Pirate Day,� celebrated all over the world on September 19. Chaos and creativity rule the Baur house, and the kids are encouraged to speak their minds. Tori stacks dirty dishes in the oven instead of cleaning them, and dirty laundry piles up around the house. The bill collector is over so often that John considers him a friend. John and Tori are unconventional and embrace the chaos of the pirate lifestyle. Millie and Max embrace it as well, but quiet Cate prefers to stay in her room with comic books, and she�s often left out of the swashbuckling.
Tori sets sail for California, where Lisa Fine (36) and husband Craig (40) lead a life of organized perfection. Floor to ceiling bins line the Fine home and everything in their lives is labeled. The kids, Ashley (13) and Brandon (10), are the perfect cheerleader daughter and football playing son. Picture-perfect Ashley is a miniature version of her mom, obsessively organizing her friends� rooms and making sure that her mother�s �systems� are being utilized throughout the house. She says she has to remind herself that she�s just a kid, not a professional organizer. Brandon wishes he had a little more chaos in his life. After he builds something out of blocks, he has to take it apart and put the blocks away in individual bins by color. Craig says that Lisa is a perfectionist and keeping up with her is tough.
In the first week of the swap, Tori has a hard time boxing herself into Lisa�s structured life, and chafes against the rules and the labeling. Lisa struggles with pirate life, which involves chaos, unruly kids, bill collectors� and lots and lots of fleas.
In the second week of the swap, Tori storms the decks of the SS Fine and gives them all a big chaotic dose of �pirattitude.� Lisa whips out her trusty label-maker and begins boxing and labeling both the Baurs� and their house. In addition, both families experience the new �twist� in the swap when Cap�n Slappy comes aboard with Tori and the Baurs receive a visit from Lisa�s sister, Lori.
At the end of the swap will Tori make Lisa�s organizational systems walk the plank? Will Lisa keep �pirattitude� in her perfectly binned life, or will she toss it overboard?
�Wife Swap� is an RDF USA production. It was created by Stephen Lambert and is executive-produced by Wendy Roth and Stephen Lambert of RDF Media (�Faking It� and �Junkyard Wars�) and Michael Davies of Embassy Row (�Who Wants to be a Millionaire�). Cristin Cricco, Stephanie Schwam Adams and Mike Gamson are the co-executive producers.
�Wife Swap� is broadcast with Spanish subtitles via secondary closed captioning. A TV parental guideline will be assigned closer to airdate.

There's been a lot said about Duke Nukem Forever, not much of it good.
But we're slowly starting to hear from people demonstrating how they love the throw-back shooter in their own ways.
Last night it was a couple of buddies who popped open some beers and played the game side-by-side. Today it's Randy Pitchford, whose Gearbox Software managed to wrap the game up and get it out the door.
In this video we see Pitchford gathering to his side a phalanx of celebrities (of a sort), gaming, game culture and Internet folk. He even brings in Ted Price, president and CEO of Insomniac Games.
Their goal? To beat each other up in four-versus-four team death match. That the game comes out looking like something you might want to play with friends in the process is probably more than just a happy coincidence.

States Seek Flexibility During Common-Test Transition
With the debut of common assessments less than two years away, states and districts are worried about the accountability systems that hinge on those tests. A growing chorus of policy groups is urging more flexibility in how states evaluate teachers, label schools, and enforce other high-stakes consequences during what's likely to be a messy transition.
Position papers from a range of organizations seek to stake out turf on the delicate question of how to postpone or temporarily ease some rules without abandoning accountability, at a time when the new, tougher assessments are projected to send test scores—at least at first—into a nose dive.
Whether those moves are coming too late is an open question.
"I see this discussion at 30,000 feet about whether the common core is good or not good. But what I don't see is the kind of work that makes for good transitional policy," said Sandy Kress, an Austin, Texas, lawyer and former education aide to President George W. Bush who helped write the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
Mr. Kress, who has worked on accountability issues in Texas for decades, pointed out that most states have reworked their standards and tests in recent years and have figured out how to hold the line on accountability. But they've done so after years of planning for those transitions, he said.
"The questions are, what would a transitional accountability system look like? Are there pathways that could allow us to compare apples to apples in the old and new tests? Can we get the test-makers of the old tests and new tests to sit down and talk about that?" Mr. Kress said.
"If people aren't beginning to talk about these issues aggressively," he said, "it could very well be too late."
Through the Council of Chief State School Officers, state schools superintendents are calling on the U.S. Department of Education to grant states the flexibility they need to manage accountability, testing, and teacher evaluations in the next two years. That is on top of the flexibility 37 states and the District of Columbia have already garnered from the Education Department in the form of waivers from key tenets of the No Child Left Behind law.
The chiefs issued a May 28 statement asking for permission to hold school designations steady in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 academic years. They also want federal officials to consider states' requests to delay using test scores in teacher evaluations, something that could pose a problem since those linkages are embedded in many states' NCLB waivers or in the winning plans of the 12 Race to the Top states. The chiefs also want the department to allow them more discretion in deciding which tests to use for federal accountability.
The Education Department hasn't yet decided how to approach the thorny accountability issues. Three high-level department officials met with CCSSO leaders and top-level representatives of 35 states in Chicago last month to discuss the matter, but no clear guidance had been issued as of late last week.
Daren Briscoe, an Education Department spokesman, had no comment about those issues.
Taking Positions
Just days after the state chiefs staked out their position, a coalition of national groups representing principals, school board members, and local superintendents weighed in with its own statement. The coalition asked for "adequate" time to facilitate a "thoughtful conversation" about how tests could be used to provide information that's instructionally valuable to schools.
Those groups cautioned against relying too heavily on tests for federal accountability until the Common Core State Standards, and tests that reflect them, are fully implemented.
The week before, a small group of state schools superintendents called Chiefs for Change issued a statement urging states to go full steam ahead with accountability tied to tests for the common standards, which cover English/language arts and math and have been adopted by most of the states.
Known for their conservative approach to accountability, those chiefs contended that any easing of the rules would water down pressure for school improvement.
The statements by those groups of education leaders came after the announcement of a push by the American Federation of Teachers to temporarily suspend any high-stakes consequences stemming from tests on the common core.
In a speech April 30, AFT President Randi Weingarten argued that teachers have not had enough time or resources to adjust to the standards, so it's unfair to expect them to bring students to mastery on tests so soon. Anticipating that she would be accused of backing away from accountability, Ms. Weingarten said the moratorium should be confined to the "transitional years," when school systems are absorbing the required shifts.
Chris Minnich, the executive director of the CCSSO, which helped spearhead the common standards effort alongside the nation's governors, said his members knew months ago that the accountability transition could prove difficult and began discussing it internally. When Ms. Weingarten called for a moratorium, he said, many state chiefs felt they wanted to make their own positions clear.
What states need, he said, isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, but the room to figure things out in ways that fit them best.
"Most states are saying we don't need a pause or a moratorium," Mr. Minnich said. "Each state is in a different position, and some need flexibility to be able look at their timelines and be smart about what they are doing. We do agree states need the time to do this well. At the same time, we have come a long way, and we don't want to lose momentum."
"Nobody is looking for relief from accountability," said Tom Luna, Idaho's schools superintendent.
Mr. Luna said that while some Idaho schools began common-core-aligned instruction this academic year, all schools in the state aren't expected to do so until 2013-14.
In contrast, schools in North Carolina just completed their first year of such teaching, and the state administered its first round of tests reflecting the common core last month, said schools Superintendent June Atkinson. "That illustrates why states need flexibility," she said.
Navigating the Rules
Yet states are subject to an increasingly outdated federal accountability law that's hardly flexible. The No Child Left Behind Act, signed into law in 2002, calls for annual testing in reading and math in grades 3-8 and once in high school—with a rising set of goals for schools that requires them to get 100 percent of their students to proficiency in those subjects by the end of the 2013-14 school year.
As the deadline for reaching those goals gets closer, more schools are expected to fail to meet them, which triggers an escalating set of responses, such as having to provide school choice to students. With new tests, schools likely will fail to make progress at an even faster rate.
Only 13 states are still subject to the original NCLB law.
Even waivers that the Education Department has awarded to the remaining states don't leave much wiggle room during the transition to new tests.
For instance, the waiver rules require states to pilot new teacher-evaluation systems, which must use student growth on tests as a "significant" factor in evaluation, in the 2013-14 school year—before the new common tests are fully operational.
States must then implement the new evaluations statewide in 2014-15, when the common assessments are expected to begin and test scores are expected to plummet. The new teacher-evaluation systems then must be tied to personnel decisions and consequences in 2015-16, just a year into the new tests.
All the original Race to the Top states that are sharing the $4 billion in competitive grants funded by the 2009 economic-stimulus package promised to adhere to a similar timeline.
While the CCSSO, a broader group of chiefs, thinks federal officials should be open to delaying that timeline for states with waivers, the smaller Chiefs for Change disagrees.
Those waivers were a commitment to students, said Hanna Skandera, the president of Chiefs for Change and New Mexico's schools chief.
"If we ask for a waiver and make commitments, we intend to keep them," she said. "Accountability delayed isn't real accountability."
Under the waivers, states must adopt and implement college- and career-readiness standards, whether the common core or a set of standards certified by a state's own system of higher education. And states must give tests—every year—that are aligned to those new standards, which are then used to make accountability determinations for schools.
For example, test scores are used to help determine which schools are the lowest-performing "priority" or "focus" schools.
New tests will likely muddy the picture of determining which schools need the most drastic interventions, and for how long. That's why the CCSSO wants to keep school labels or ratings the same for a couple of years until test scores presumably stabilize and a truer picture of student performance based on new standards emerges. Another issue the CCSSO raised with federal officials is potential "double testing" in states that participate in the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. That group, one of two major state coalitions using federal money to design tests for the common standards, will be administering field tests in 2014.
Those tests could involve more than 3 million students in the consortium's 25 states, causing worry about how much instructional time will be displaced by the combination of states' regular assessments and the field tests,said Joe Willhoft, the executive director of Smarter Balanced.
Chiefs in those states are asking federal officials to consider a range of options, including letting them use the field tests in place of their own that year for accountability and crafting shorter versions of their state tests to "free up room in the testing window" for the field tests, Mr. Willhoft said.
The other main consortium designing common tests, the 22-member Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, plans field tests in 2014 that will involve about 1 million students, said spokesman Chad Colby.

By Krystnell Storr
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Women will try, and stick to, a weight loss plan if it promises to ease their hot flashes, a small new study suggests.
"Most of the women, that is over 80 percent, said that the potential to reduce hot flashes increased their motivation to lose weight," said Gary Elkins, a professor and director of the Mind-Body Medicine Research Laboratory at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
"I think that speaks volumes about how distressing hot flashes can be for women," added Elkins, who was not involved in the study.
Researchers still don't understand the role fat tissue plays in the frequency of hot flashes associated with menopause. Since body fat plays a part in manufacturing estrogen, some experts have suggested that excess weight could protect against the hormone-related disturbances of the menopausal transition. Others have found evidence it might make them worse.
In the years leading up to menopause, a woman's ovaries start shutting down their production of eggs and of the hormone estrogen. Estrogen has important functions throughout the body and brain, including, researchers believe, in regulating the control of body temperature.
Up to 70 percent of women experience hot flashes, which can include night sweats, after menopause, according to Rebecca Thurston, a psychiatry professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pennsylvania, and her coauthors on the new study.
The only proven treatment for hot flashes is hormone replacement therapy, which can be costly and comes with health risks. Two antidepressants have been approved for treating menopausal symptoms, and some research has suggested that lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, meditation or relaxation practices may help some women.
"Since women have few methods to manage their hot flashes, we have been developing approaches that women can use to reduce their hot flashes that do not require use of medications," Thurston told Reuters Health.
Thurston and her team decided to see if a weight loss program would be an acceptable hot flash treatment and to get a sense of whether it would actually provide relief.
They recruited 40 women who were overweight or obese, reported having four or more hot flashes a day and wanted to lose weight.
The women were randomly split into two groups. Those in the weight loss group received instruction on how they could improve their weight by managing their calories and creating exercise goals.
The comparison group was put on a waiting list to receive the weight loss intervention six months later, at the end of the experiment.
Along with having the participants fill out a questionnaire about their hot flashes, the researchers took baseline weight measurements at the beginning and at the end of the study.
Women kept diaries to track their hot flashes, and at certain times during the study, each woman in the weight loss group wore a sensor that measured her skin temperature to provide a physical measurement of hot flash frequency.
By the end of six months, 83 percent of women in the weight loss group were still in the study, and 94 percent of them said they were satisfied with the program, according to the results in the journal Menopause.
Women in the weight loss group lost an average of 19 pounds and almost 5 percent of their body fat, the researchers found. And the women who lost weight also said they were experiencing fewer hot flashes at the end of the study period.
There was evidence that the women who lost the most weight had the greatest reduction in hot flashes, the researchers point out.
There was little change in weight or hot flashes in the comparison group.
"This is important for multiple reasons," Dr. Vanessa Barnabei at the University of Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, who was not involved in the study, told Reuters Health.
She said hot flashes impact a significant number of women and for some, it can affect their quality of life. Barnabei also pointed out that in the U.S. where a significant portion of the population is considered to be obese, weight loss strategies, such as this are important.
Elkins noted that even though the weight loss program appeared to be very beneficial, weight loss alone is unlikely to be a fully effective treatment for menopausal symptoms.
The study team did not track the women's hormone levels and cannot determine whether weight loss itself accounts for the improvements some of the women experienced.
The researchers did adjust their calculations for the possibility that some women's hot flashes will decrease over time. "Given that hot flashes are dynamic and can change just due to natural history this is important," Thurston said.
"With respect to the actual role that weight loss may have played versus some other aspects of the intervention, such as psychological factors, the fact that the amount of weight loss was correlated with changes in hot flashes supports the idea that it was indeed the weight loss that was important for changes in hot flashes," she said.
"Mood did not improve with the intervention, which would argue against psychological factors accounting for the effects," Thurston said.
The findings are not definitive, but they are suggestive, she noted. "I would say that our data points to a potentially promising intervention women can use themselves, but it requires further study."
"Hot flashes are a serious problem for many women. They are more than a simple annoyance and can be very severe, lasting for years. Safe and effective ways of reducing hot flashes and improving women's health are needed," Elkins said.

The program aims to strengthen knowledge resources for relevant global issues. It offers a unique opportunity for U.S. universities to host specialists from countries with significant Muslim populations for short-term programs of intensive lecturing, public outreach, and consultation. The Fulbright Visiting Specialists lecture in the social sciences and humanities, both on and off campus. Subjects include political science, international relations, history, Islamic studies, sociology, women's studies, economics, literature and the arts with a focus on Islamic society or civilization. The program encourages inter-religious dialogue activities. The Visiting Specialist also works with the U.S. host institutions on projects that provide lasting benefits; examples include curriculum consultation, faculty development, and institutional linkage-building. Note: This award is not currently funded.1 Distinguished Chairs ProgramThe Distinguished Chairs Program is among the most selective of the Fulbright programs. It is comprised of nearly forty distinguished research and lecturing awards at universities throughout Europe, Australia and South America. Fulbright Distinguished Chair recipients have a significant publication and outstanding teaching record. JOHN MARSHALL DISTINGUISHED CHAIR IN POLITICAL SCIENCE - HUNGARY This prestigious award is given to a senior scholar with an exemplary reputation in teaching and writing that focuses on U.S. political institutions and an understanding of comparative political systems as they relate to the U.S. The scholar is also familiar with political theories that are recognizable to Hungarian students. He or she must be able to adapt instruction to the needs and interests of students from a variety of diverse backgrounds.2 FLAD ChairTV PRODUCTIONEach year, the J. William Fullbright Foreign Scholarship Board and the Luso-American Development Foundation select three faculty members to teach specialty topics in Portugal. 3 Foreign Student ProgramAn American public diplomacy effort, the Fulbright Foreign Student Program brings citizens of other countries to the United States to earn a master's or doctoral degree. More than 1,800 new Foreign Fulbright Fellows enter U.S. academic programs each year. This program offers participants valuable insights into U.S. society and values. It has brought some of the world's finest minds to U.S. campuses; many foreign Fulbright grantees are early-career professionals who will take leadership roles in their home countries.4 Garcia Robles GrantThis program promotes the development of cooperative networks between Mexican and U.S. higher education institutions. Applicants must affiliate with a Mexican academic institution, primarily a university, a research institution or an NGO. Applications are accepted in all fields of study, in particular, in public administration or public policy and projects that pertain to Mexican culture, society and politics. The purpose is to deepen the understanding of Mexico in the United States.5 Hays Faculty Research Abroad Fellowship ProgramThis program is designed to contribute to the development and improvement of modern foreign language and related area studies in the U.S. by providing opportunities for scholars to conduct research abroad. It funds fellowships through institutions of higher education, enabling faculty to maintain and improve their language skills and knowledge of a different culture and its people.6 Lecturing & Research AwardsThe traditional Fulbright Scholar Program sends 800 U.S. faculty and professionals abroad annually. The grantees lecture and conduct research on a wide variety of academic and professional areas, traveling in countries throughout the world.7 New Century ScholarIn 2009-2010, thirty top academics and professionals from the U.S. and abroad collaborated for a year on a topic of global significance, focusing on the theme of "The University as Innovation Driver and Knowledge Center." The program played a vital role in forging new links among scholars and professionals from around the world who collaborate in seeking solutions for issues that affect humankind. The New Century Scholars Program combines the traditional Fulbright research exchange experience with a series of three in-person seminar meetings and ongoing virtual communications. Multinational and multidisciplinary participants are under the guidance of the New Century Scholars Distinguished Scholar Leader. The New Century Scholars reconvene at the end of a program year to share the results of their individual research and collaborative engagement. Through this process, they develop recommendations for initiatives that translate their combined results into innovative pathways for making tangible impact on the local, regional or global level. Note: This award is not currently funded.8 Senior SpecialistsThe Fulbright Specialist Program promotes linkages between U.S. academics and professionals and their counterparts at universities abroad.

People using the Massachusetts health insurance exchange are having their residency status confirmed by real-time identity management technology.
Massachusetts is now using real-time address verification technology to more accurately confirm the residences of those using its online health insurance exchange.
When a customer logs on to the Massachusetts Health Insurance Connector Authority (Health Connector) to shop for an insurance policy, the user's residency status is verified by identity management solutions provided by LexisNexis. Previously the state relied on its own manual process and the due diligence of insurance carriers to make sure people were actually living in Massachusetts.
Massachusetts was one of the first states to debut an online health insurance exchange. The state's new residency check system may be an answer to other states thinking about the same verification issues.
State law requires most Massachusetts residents 18 years or older to purchase health insurance. Those individuals and families applying for Commonwealth Choice — an unsubsidized, non-group Health Connector program for individuals and families — are required to live in the state.
Online since May 1, the new verification process uses LexisNexis' data analytics and linking technology, which according to the company, intelligently analyzes billions of records to quickly identify and connect relevant information. When someone registers and accesses the Massachusetts Health Connector, the system instantaneously accesses LexisNexis' data.
A computer algorithm then searches the data and verifies that the residency information is correct. If a person's residency can't be established, he or she can still continue shopping, but must submit to Massachusetts proof of residency documentation in the form of a utility bill or mortgage statement in order to be enrolled in the insurance program selected.
"We feel it has been a very successful implementation," said Scott Devonshire, CIO of the Massachusetts Health Connector. "The key for us is [the verification process is] not a gate."
"It has not bogged down the shopping experience at all," Devonshire said. "We haven't had any negative feedback per se from users of the site."
Clint Fuhrman, director of Government Health Care Programs for LexisNexis, explained that the company's technology is able to compile broad data about someone's identity over the course of time.
"We're not going out to a bunch of federated databases and pulling this from 30 different places," Fuhrman said. "We have all the information in one database that we maintain, that's constantly being updated and the linking is looking for changes in identity. So we essentially know that person before that call is made, and when it is, it's a sub-second turnaround."
LexisNexis wasn't the only vendor Massachusetts considered. Devonshire said the state looked at several companies and the decision came down to two main factors: the ability to differentiate whether the address provided by a customer was residential or business, and to determine with a degree of certainty that the individual identifying himself at a particular address actually resided there.
Massachusetts' initial contract with LexisNexis runs through Dec. 31, 2013, with three one-year options available after that. Massachusetts pays LexisNexis 21 cents per transaction for each individual who is run through the residency verification process.
How the implementation of the Affordable Care Act may change that process is still up in the air. States are waiting on regulations from the federal government. The law requires the establishment of online health insurance exchanges by Jan. 1, 2014.
Devonshire was confident that the LexisNexis technology would meet whatever federal requirements would be issued in regard to residency and address validation. He doesn't see any gaps in functionality on the horizon. But Massachusetts is keeping its options open.
For now, Devonshire believes there's always room for the state to try and improve and narrow false positives when it comes to residency validation. But given the transient nature of people, there's always going to be some folks Massachusetts can't validate.
"That's really what it's about for us — the validation of the residency," Devonshire said. "We're not trying to set a trap for anybody, but we want to make sure people are who they say they are and they live where they say they live."

The Relationship Networks of Entrepreneurs and the Effects of A Formation of An Industry Cluster on Their Relationships
We examine how marine technology entrepreneurs in Iceland build their business network relationships through weak and strong ties and the effects of the formation of an industry cluster on their relationships. This study finds that marine technology entrepreneurs build their network relationships mainly through the formation of strong ties leading to a slow expansion of business relationships. We also find a formation of an industry cluster of marine technology entrepreneurs to enhance the weak ties of the entrepreneurs and their skills in developing these weak relationships. Further, the analytical model we develop shows how factors such as an industry cluster influences the entrepreneurs' relationships.
