Pamela Powers Hannley, a progressive voice for Arizona
Across the US– and here in Tucson– citizens will be standing in solidarity with fast food workers who are demanding a living wage. The Tucson protest is at the McDonalds at Alvernon and Speedway. Here is the flyer . Here is a link to the Facebook event.
The Tucson Progressive: Pamela Powers Hannley
I stand on the side of Love. I believe in kindness to all creatures on Earth and the inherent self-worth of all individuals--not just people who agree with me or look like me.
Widespread economic and social injustice prompted me to become a candidate for the Arizona House, representing Legislative District 9 in the 2016 election. My platform focuses on economic reforms to grow Arizona's economy, establish a state-based public bank, fix our infrastructure, fully fund public education, growlocal small businesses and community banks, and put people back to work at good-paying jobs. I also stand for equal rights, choice, and paycheck fairness for women. I am running as a progressive and running clean.
My day job is managing editor for the American Journal of Medicine, an academic medicine journal with a worldwide circulation. In addition, my husband and I co-direct Arizonans for a New Economy, Arizona's public banking initiative. I am a member of the national board of the Public Banking Institute, and I am co-chair of the Arizona Democratic Progressive Caucus, the largest caucus of the Arizona Democratic Party.
I am a published author, photographer, videographer, clay artist, mother, nana, and wife. I have a bachelor's degree in journalism from Ohio State University and a masters in public health from the University of Arizona. I grew up in Amherst, Ohio, but I have lived in Tucson, Arizona since 1981. I am a proud member of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson and the Public Relations Society of America.
My Tucson Progressive blog and Facebook page feature large doses of liberal ideas, local, state, and national politics, and random bits of humor. I also blog at Blog for Arizona and the Huffington Post.

text: Back Computed Tomography (CT or CAT) Scan of the Chest (Chest CT Scan, Thoracic CT Scan, CT of the Thorax) Procedure overview Computed tomography (CT or CAT scan) is a noninvasive diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than standard X-rays. In standard X-rays, a beam of energy is aimed at the body part being studied. A plate behind the body part captures the variations of the energy beam after it passes through skin, bone, muscle, and other tissue. While much information can be obtained from a standard X-ray, a lot of detail about internal organs and other structures is not available. In computed tomography, the X-ray beam moves in a circle around the body. This allows many different views of the same organ or structure. The X-ray information is sent to a computer that interprets the X-ray data and displays it in a two-dimensional (2D) form on a monitor. CT scans may be done with or without "contrast." Contrast refers to a substance taken by mouth or injected into an intravenous (IV) line that causes the particular organ or tissue under study to be seen more clearly. Contrast examinations may require you to fast for a certain period of time before the procedure. Your doctor will notify you of this prior to the procedure. CT scans of the chest can provide more detailed information about organs and structures inside the chest than standard X-rays of the chest, thus providing more information related to injuries and/or diseases of the chest (thoracic) organs. CT scans of the chest may also be used to visualize placement of needles during biopsies of thoracic organs or tumors, or during aspiration (withdrawal) of fluid from the chest. CT scans of the chest are useful in monitoring tumors and other conditions of the chest before and after treatment. Other related procedures that may be used to diagnose problems of the lungs and respiratory tract include bronchoscopy, bronchography, chest fluoroscopy, chest X-ray, chest ultrasound, lung biopsy, lung scan, mediastinoscopy, oximetry, peak flow measurement, positron emission tomography (PET) scan, pleural biopsy, pulmonary angiogram, pulmonary function tests, sinus X-ray, and thoracentesis. Reasons for the procedure The chest contains organs of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, as well as the esophagus (hollow tube of muscle extending from below the tongue to the stomach). A CT scan of the chest may be performed to assess the chest and its organs for tumors and other lesions, injuries, intrathoracic bleeding, infections, unexplained chest pain, obstructions, or other conditions, particularly when another type of examination, such as X-rays or physical examination, is not conclusive. A CT scan of the chest may also be used to evaluate the effects of treatment of thoracic tumors. Another use of chest CT is to provide guidance for biopsies and/or aspiration of tissue from the chest. There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend a CT scan of the chest. Risks of the procedure You may want to ask your doctor about the amount of radiation used during the CT procedure and the risks related to your particular situation. It is a good idea to keep a record of your past history of radiation exposure, such as previous CT scans and other types of X-rays, so that you can inform your doctor. Risks associated with radiation exposure may be related to the cumulative number of X-ray examinations and/or treatments over a long period of time. If you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant, you should notify your doctor. Radiation exposure during pregnancy may lead to birth defects. If contrast dye is used, there is a risk for allergic reaction to the dye. Studies show that 85 percent of the population will not experience an adverse reaction from iodinated contrast; however, you will need to let your doctor know if you have ever had a reaction to any contrast dye, and/or any kidney problems. A reported seafood allergy is not considered to be a contraindication for iodinated contrast. Patients with kidney failure or other kidney problems should notify their doctor In some cases, the contrast dye can cause kidney failure, especially if the patient has underlying kidney problems or is dehydrated. Patients taking the diabetes medication metformin (Glucophage), or its derivatives, with contrast are at risk for developing a condition called metabolic acidosis, an unsafe change in blood pH. The effects of kidney disease and contrast agents have attracted increased attention over the last decade, as patients with kidney disease are more prone to kidney damage after contrast exposure. There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor prior to the procedure. Certain factors or conditions may interfere with the accuracy of a CT scan of the chest. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following: Metallic objects within the chest, such as surgical clips or a pacemaker Body piercing on the chest Barium in the esophagus from a recent barium study Before the procedure Your doctor will explain the chest CT procedure to you and offer you the opportunity to ask any questions that you might have. If your procedure involves the use of contrast dye, you may be asked to sign a consent form that gives permission to do the procedure. Read the form carefully and ask questions if something is not clear. Notify the technologist if you have ever had a reaction to any contrast dye, or if you are allergic to iodine. If you take metformin, you will be asked to discontinue the medication for at least 48 hours after your injection. Generally, there is no fasting requirement prior to a CT scan, unless a contrast dye is to be used. Your doctor will give you special instructions ahead of time if contrast is to be used and if you will need to withhold food and drink. Notify the technologist if you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant. Notify the technologist if you have any body piercing on your chest and/or abdomen. Dress in clothes that permit access to the area or that are easily removed. Based on your medical condition, your doctor may request other specific preparation. During the procedure CT Scanner A chest CT may be performed on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your physician's practices. Generally, the chest CT follows this process: You will be asked to remove any clothing, jewelry, or other objects that may interfere with the procedure. If you are asked to remove clothing, you will be given a gown to wear. If you are to have a procedure done with contrast, an intravenous (IV) line will be started in the hand or arm for injection of the contrast dye. For oral contrast, you will be given a liquid contrast preparation to swallow. You will lie on your back with your arms above your head on a scan table that slides into a large, circular opening of the scanning machine. Pillows and straps may be used to prevent movement during the procedure. The technologist will be in another room where the scanner controls are located. However, you will be in constant sight of the technologist through a window. Speakers inside the scanner will enable the technologist to communicate with and hear you. You will have a call button so that you can let the technologist know if you have any problems during the procedure. The technologist will be watching you at all times and will be in constant communication. As the scanner begins to rotate around you, X-rays will pass through the body for short amounts of time. You will hear clicking sounds, which are normal. The X-rays absorbed by the body's tissues will be detected by the scanner and transmitted to the computer. The computer will transform the information into an image to be interpreted by the radiologist. It will be important that you remain very still during the procedure. You may be asked to hold your breath at various times during the procedure. If contrast dye is used for your procedure, you will be removed from the scanner after the first set of scans has been completed. A second set of scans will be taken after the contrast dye has been administered. If contrast dye is used for your procedure, you may feel some effects when the dye is injected into the IV line. These effects include a flushing sensation, a salty or metallic taste in the mouth, a brief headache, or nausea and/or vomiting. These effects usually last for a few moments. You should notify the technologist if you feel any breathing difficulties, sweating, numbness, or heart palpitations. When the procedure has been completed, you will be removed from the scanner. If an IV line was inserted for contrast administration, the line will be removed. You may be asked to wait for a short period of time while the radiologist examines the scans to make sure they are clear. While the CT procedure itself causes no pain, having to lie still for the length of the procedure might cause some discomfort or pain, particularly in the case of a recent injury or invasive procedure such as surgery. The technologist will use all possible comfort measures and complete the procedure as quickly as possible to minimize any discomfort or pain. After the procedure If contrast dye was used during your procedure, you may be monitored for a period of time for any side effects or reactions to the contrast dye, such as itching, swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing. If you notice any pain, redness, and/or swelling at the IV site after you return home following your procedure, you should notify your doctor as this could indicate an infection or other type of reaction. If you are given contrast by mouth, you may experience diarrhea or constipation after the procedure. Otherwise, there is no special type of care required after a CT scan of the chest. You may resume your usual diet and activities unless your doctor advises you differently. Your doctor may give you additional or alternate instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation.

An interactive map of storybook England shows places associated with Alice, Black Beauty, Harry Potter and other famous characters
One of the great pleasures of visiting Britain is that the government hires a lot of people who can help you find your way around instead of doing what we do here in the U.S., which is to tell visitors: "You want information about our country? Pray for a taxi driver who speaks English." Pause. "If that fails, you could always ask the person who mugs you."
Many of the helpful Brits work for the tourist boards Visit Britain www.visitbritain.com, Visit Scotland www.visitscotland.com and Visit Wales www.visitwales.com. And some of them came up with a great interactive online map of England that lets children learn about places linked to characters in books like Black Beauty, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the Harry Potter series.
I learned about this delightful storybook map from Ceri Radford, who wrote in her blog about books in the Telegraph: "You can browse by book title, then click to find out more about the work and its location. Kudos to Enjoy England, the marketing arm of Visit Britain, for coming up with the idea." You can read more about it here blogs.telegraph.co.uk/arts/ceriradford/dec07/.

text: Back Myocardial Perfusion Scan, Resting (Resting Thallium Scan, Cardiac Nuclear Imaging, Cardiolite Scan, Sestamibi Scan) Procedure overview What is a resting myocardial perfusion scan? A myocardial perfusion scan is a type of nuclear medicine procedure. This means that a tiny amount of a radioactive substance, called a radionuclide (radiopharmaceutical or radioactive tracer), is used during the procedure to assist in the examination of the tissue under study. Specifically, the myocardial perfusion scan evaluates the heart's function and blood flow. A radionuclide is a radioactive substance used as a "tracer," which means it travels through the blood stream and is taken up (absorbed) by the healthy heart muscle tissue. On the scan, the areas where the radionuclide has been absorbed will show up differently than the areas that do not absorb it (due to possible damage to the tissue from decreased or blocked blood flow). A resting myocardial perfusion scan is used to assess the blood flow to the heart muscle (myocardium) and to determine what areas of the myocardium have decreased blood flow. This is done by injecting a radionuclide (thallium or technetium) into a vein in the arm or hand. There are different types of radionuclides. When one type of radionuclide is used, areas of the myocardium that have blocked or partially blocked arteries will be seen on the scan as "cold spots," or "defects," because these areas will be unable to take in the radionuclide into the myocardium. Another type of radionuclide binds to the calcium that is released when a heart attack occurs, so it will accumulate in area(s) of injured heart tissue as a "hot spot" on the scan. Other related procedures that may be used to diagnose heart disorders include resting and exercise electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), Holter monitor, signal-averaged ECG, cardiac catheterization, chest X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart, myocardial perfusion scan (stress), computed tomography (CT scan) of the chest, echocardiography, electrophysiological studies, radionuclide angiography, and cardiac CT scan. Please see these procedures for additional information. Click Image to Enlarge Coronary artery disease Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the narrowing of the coronary arteries (the blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle), caused by a buildup of fatty material within the walls of the arteries. This process causes the inside of the arteries to become rough and narrowed, limiting the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. To better understand how coronary artery disease affects the heart, a review of basic heart anatomy and function follows. The heart is basically a pump. The heart is made up of specialized muscle tissue, called the myocardium. The heart's primary function is to pump blood throughout the body, so that the body's tissues can receive oxygen and nutrients and have waste substances taken away. Like any pump, the heart requires fuel in order to work. The myocardium requires oxygen and nutrients, just like any other tissue in the body. However, the blood that passes through the heart's chambers is only passing through on its trip to the rest of the body. This blood does not give oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium. The myocardium receives its oxygen and nutrients from the coronary arteries, which lie on the outside of the heart. Click Image to Enlarge When the heart tissue does not receive an adequate blood supply, it cannot function as well as it should. If the myocardium's blood supply is decreased for a length of time, a condition called ischemia may develop. Ischemia can decrease the heart's pumping ability, because the heart muscle is weakened due to a lack of food and oxygen. Fortunately, the technology is available to restore blood flow to heart tissue when coronary artery blockages are diagnosed. One of several procedures used to diagnose and evaluate coronary artery disease is the resting myocardial perfusion scan. Reasons for the procedure Possible indications for a resting myocardial perfusion scan may include, but are not limited to, the following: Chest pain, either new onset or occurring over a period of days or longer Following a heart attack (myocardial infarction, or MI) To assess blood flow to areas of the myocardium that have been reperfused (coronary artery blood flow restored) by bypass surgery, angioplasty (the opening of a coronary artery using a balloon or other method), or stent (a tiny expandable metal coil placed inside the artery to keep the artery open Risks of the procedure The injection of the radionuclide may cause some slight discomfort. Allergic reactions to the radionuclide are rare. If you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant, you should notify your health care provider due to the risk of injury to the fetus from myocardial perfusion scan. If you are lactating, breastfeeding, you should notify your health care provider due to the risk of contaminating breast milk with radionuclide. Radiation exposure during pregnancy may lead to birth defects. Patients who are allergic to or sensitive to medications, contrast dye, iodine, tape, or latex should notify their doctor. There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor prior to the procedure. Certain factors or conditions may interfere with or affect the results of the test. These include, but are not limited to, the following: Caffeine within 24 hours of the procedure Digitalis, quinidine, or nitrate medications Before the procedure Your doctor will explain the procedure to you and offer you the opportunity to ask any questions that you might have about the procedure. You will be asked to sign a consent form that gives your permission to do the test. Read the form carefully and ask questions if something is not clear. Notify your doctor if you are allergic to or sensitive to medications, local anesthesia, contrast dyes, iodine, tape, or latex. Fasting may be required before the procedure. Your doctor will give you instructions as to how long you should withhold food and/or liquids. You should refrain from eating or drinking anything that contains caffeine for at least 24 hours prior to the procedure. Some prescription and over-the-counter medications contain caffeine and should be avoided. Some over-the-counter medications that contain caffeine include Anacin, Excedrin, and NoDoz. Notify your doctor of all medications (prescription and over-the-counter) and herbal supplements that you are taking. If you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant, you should notify your doctor. Notify your doctor if you have a pacemaker. Based on your medical condition, your doctor may request other specific preparation. During the procedure A resting myocardial perfusion scan may be performed on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your doctor's practices. Generally, a resting myocardial perfusion scan follows this process: You will be asked to remove any jewelry or other objects that may interfere with the procedure. You will be asked to remove clothing and will be given a gown to wear. An intravenous (IV) line will be started in your hand or arm. You will be connected to an ECG machine with leads and a blood pressure cuff will be placed on your arm. You will lie flat on a table in the procedure room. The radionuclide will be injected into a vein in your arm or hand. After the medication has circulated through your body (10 to 60 minutes depending on the radioactive tracer being used), the scanner will begin to take pictures of your heart. In a special kind of imaging test, called SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography), the scanner will rotate around you as it takes pictures. You will be lying flat on a table while the images of your heart are obtained. Your arms will be positioned on a pillow above your head. It will be necessary for you to lie very still while the images are being taken, as movement can adversely affect the quality of the images. If you experience any symptoms, such as dizziness, chest pain, extreme shortness of breath, or severe fatigue, at any point during the procedure, let the doctor or technologist know. After the scan is complete, the IV line will be discontinued, and you will be allowed to leave, unless your doctor instructs you differently. After the procedure You should move slowly when getting up from the scanner table to avoid any dizziness or lightheadedness from lying flat for the length of the procedure. You will be instructed to drink plenty of fluids and empty your bladder frequently for 24 to 48 hours after the test to help flush the remaining radionuclide from your body. The IV site will be checked for any signs of redness or swelling. If you notice any pain, redness, and/or swelling at the IV site after you return home following your procedure, you should notify your doctor as this may indicate an infection or other type of reaction. Your doctor may give your additional or alternate instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation.

Herman Cain continues to deny allegations while his latest accuser, Ginger White, reveals alleged affair details.
Post by: Anderson Cooper
Filed under: Herman Cain
Herman Cain's is playing politics with some serious accusations coming from three women so far. My advice to Mr.Cain is to stop saying what his wife thinks,about the three women and their accusations and release whatever documents that are availabe about the first two settlements to the world and give a detail account of what went on for thirteen long years with Ginger White. Mr.Cain should remember that clearing his name with his family should be at the top of his agender . He is presently actng like a "Pathological Liar" and needs to come clean with his wife and family and stop relying on what people close to him thinks. Remember when a man is doing things like these he tries to cover his ends as far as possible and one lie leads to another lie.
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

Reading tops Bronson, wins district crown
Class C District Final
email@example.com — The joy of victory and the agony of defeat.Both are unavoidable in a district final game, as both Reading and Bronson experienced on Friday night in the Class C district 68 at Centreville.Reading (14-9) found a way to win, taking a 45-34 win over Bronson (13-9) to take home the trophy and earn a trip on to regional play next Tuesday night at Bronson High School."We were a little worried about the legs, playing three games this week," said Reading assistant coach Tim Davis. "But they dug down deep and found something."Reading went 8-of-12 from the free throw line in the final 2:55 to secure the win, outscoring Brosnon 10-5 in the fourth quarter. For the Vikings, the game was marred by 26 turnovers that came at inopportune times for Bronson. At times, the Vikings got something going, but a turnover seemed to erase any progress made."You can turn the ball over 26 times," said Bronson coach Andy Hatt. "We gave them too many chances."It was a close contest in the third quarter, as Reading came out and took a three-point lead with a leaner from Michelle Davis to make it a 23-20 game. Bronson responded immediately with a three-point play from Skyler Sobeski to tie it up, but Reading went on a 10-2 run with all the points coming from Davis. Bronson recovered, closing out with a small 4-2 run, cutting the deficit to six points going into the fourth.Bronson got a bucket from Amberly Bercaw to open the fourth, making it a 35-31 game, but the Vikings managed only three more points in the quarter, as they were forced to foul Reading in the late moments. Despite shooting 52 percent from the line on the night, Reading made the charity buckets when it counted. The difference in the contest seemed to be Reading's scrappy, tenacious play on the defensive end."Yes, they played good defense," said Tim Davis. "That's been our bread and butter all year. We thought we rattled Bronson a bit. They are so strong and deep."For the Vikings, poor second half shooting helped contribute to the loss, as Brosnon shot 16.7 percent from the field in the final 16 minutes — making only four field goals. The Vikings never seemed to get in a comfortable routine on the offensive end, making it difficult to put points on the board."We weren't able to comfortably run our offense," said Hatt. "I think were capable of executing, we just didn't do it tonight."Bronson was led by Skyler Sobeski's eight points, three rebounds and two steals. Kylei Ratkowski and Liz Baker added five points each; Kinslea Blouin had six points; Kassidy Bystry and Amberly Bercaw had four points each and Mallorie Bassage added 10 points and two rebounds.Michelle Davis led all scorers with 19 points, seven rebounds, three steals and three assists. Jami Hubbard added 10 points, nine rebounds and three steals; Brittany Marquart had nine points and five steals; Tayler Coe had four points and four rebounds; Jenny Davis had two points and Sumer Rodgers added a point.Reading faces Hartford in the Class C 17 Regional on Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. at Bronson High School.

Hillary Clinton was defending her department budget in front of the U.S. Foreign Policy Priorities committee this morning on C-Span.
She says a major reason the State Department needs money is because "we are in an information war and we are losing that war."
Clinton said private media is not good enough to handle the job: "Our private media cannot fill that gap. Our private media, particularly cultural programming often works at counter purposes to what we truly are as Americans. I remember having an Afghan general tell me that the only thing he thought about Americans is that all the men wrestled and the women walked around in bikinis because the only TV he ever saw was Baywatch and World Wide Wrestling."
Meanwhile she says Al-Jazeera, CCTV and Russia Today are killing it: "Al Jazeera is winning.

Rancher defends remarks, loses supporters
LAS VEGAS -- A Nevada rancher who became a conservative folk hero for standing up to the government in a fight over grazing rights lost some of his staunch defenders Thursday after wondering aloud whether blacks might have had it better under slavery.
Republican politicians from around the country who have rallied to Cliven Bundy's defense in recent weeks denounced the comments and distanced themselves from the rancher, including potential 2016 presidential contender Sen. Rand Paul and Nevada Sen. Dean Heller. Democrats were quick to pounce on the comments and label Bundy a racist.
Bundy has gone from a little-known rancher and melon farmer in rural Nevada to a national political star since he resisted the federal government's attempts to round up his cattle from federal land because he hadn't paid grazing fees for two decades. His supporters, especially those on the right, have praised him for standing up to what they believe is a heavy-handed federal government, and several armed militia members traveled to his ranch to back Bundy.
His comments were first published in The New York Times on Wednesday, but he did little to tamp down the controversy as he sought to address the public outrage on Thursday.
Bundy was quoted in a Times story referring to black people as "the Negro" and recalling a time decades ago when he drove past homes in North Las Vegas and saw black people who "didn't have nothing to do." He said he wondered if they were "better off as slaves" than "under government subsidy."
On Thursday during an outdoor news conference near his ranch 80 miles from Las Vegas, he echoed the same sentiment: "Are they slaves to charities and government subsidized homes? And are they slaves when their daughters are having abortions and their sons are in the prisons? This thought goes back a long time."
In a statement on the official Bundy Ranch Facebook page Thursday, Bundy explained that he wasn't saying anyone should be enslaved today.
Politicians who had defended Bundy quickly issued statements condemning the remarks.
"His remarks on race are offensive, and I wholeheartedly disagree with him," said Paul, a Kentucky senator.
Heller, who last week called Bundy defenders "patriots" for their stand against the government, "completely disagrees with Mr. Bundy's appalling and racist statements, and condemns them in the most strenuous way," said his spokeswoman, Chandler Smith.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat who last week called Bundy supporters "domestic terrorists," also spoke out against Bundy's words.
"Today, Bundy revealed himself to be a hateful racist," Reid said. "But by denigrating people who work hard and play by the rules while he mooches off public land, he also revealed himself to be a hypocrite."
Bundy says he doesn't recognize federal authority over lands around his property that his cattle have grazed on for years.
The Bureau of Land Management claims the cattle are trespassing on fragile Gold Butte habitat set aside for the endangered desert tortoise, and that Bundy has racked up some $1.1 million in fees and penalties since 1993.
Supporters rushed to Bundy's ranch after a YouTube video showed federal agents using a stun gun on Bundy's son during a BLM roundup of the family's cattle. The resulting armed standoff became so tense that BLM agents and contractors called off the weeklong roundup, released about 350 animals back to Bundy, and left the area April 12.
Federal officials have said the agency would pursue unspecified administrative and judicial remedies, but BLM officials have not provided details.

Fixing Problems, Saving Lives
I enjoyed your article "Air Sealing and the CAZ" in the Mar/Apr issue (p. 10).
I started in the HVACR business in 1987. My main focus was service. When I did installs and removed a furnace from the common vent with the water heater, I would recalculate the vent size according to the venting tables and usually run a chimney liner inside the common vent or chimney to serve the water heater by itself. This solved many spillage problems.

Author A. Tamasin Sterner replies:
Thanks. That is a common fix around here, too. Even with the liner, we've seen many water heaters spill because of suction on the CAZ from the stack effect and unsealed attic floors. Scary.
Comparing Apples to Apples
The claims of the editorial ("Heating and Cooling No Longer Majority of U.S. Home Energy Use," May/June '13, p. 2) are based on site energy consumption, which is not a very useful way of talking about energy use. It tells us how much energy is used on site (which is essentially meaningless), without making any distinction between electricity, gas, and other fuels, even though there are great differences among them in price, natural resource depletion (primary energy factor), and global warming potential. In other words, it groups apples and oranges together in an unacceptably inaccurate way. For example, if our concern is energy security, we should be looking at primary energy use. When I do, I see that primary energy (PE) for heating has dropped by about a quad (~20%), cooling has risen by about half a quad (~20%), domestic hot water has stayed the same, and appliances/electronics/lighting have gone up by a whopping 4 quads (~50%). As a result of this one category, total primary energy use in the residential sector has risen by about 20%. As home energy use shifts from combustion fuel towards electricity, continuing to express that use in terms of site energy will mask the severity and source of a real trend in increased energy use in homes.

Author and Senior Executive Editor Alan Meier replies:
The reader is completely correct about the misleading nature of the Energy Information Administration's (EIA) pie chart. The situation is perhaps more ironic than he imagined. When the data are recalculated and displayed in terms of primary (rather than site) energy, one discovers that heating and cooling was already less than half of residential energy consumption in 1993! Thus, EIA's "news" was actually 20 years behind the event!

This is the third post of our Declassified Series, in which we focus on exploring the similarities and differences between courses on the same topic that are offered at different schools. Previous posts include Reference and Information Architecture. Below, Brianna and Barbarajean discuss their experiences in Digital Humanities classes.
School: Indiana University-Bloomington
Course Title: S657, Digital Humanities
Professor: Dr. John Walsh
Syllabus: http://www.slis.indiana.edu/faculty/jawalsh/teaching/slis/s657/2012s/
- Schreibman, Susan, Ray Siemens, and John Unsworth, eds. A Companion to Digital Humanities. Oxford: Blackwell, 2004.
- Schreibman, Susan, and Ray Siemens, eds. A Companion to Digital Literary Studies. Oxford: Blackwell, 2007.
- A lot of articles from various sources, including the Digital Humanities Quarterly, Poetess Archives Journal, and the TEI Guidelines. We also read an excerpt of Matthew Kirschenbaum's book Mechanisms: New Media and the Forensic Imagination.
The class brings together students from many backgrounds and scholarly interests, from folklore, film, English literature, medieval studies, music and more. Several students already have Ph.Ds in their area of study and have come to SLIS to earn another Master's degree, while others are straight from undergrad and only plan to pursue degrees in library science or information science. Because of the many different disciplines represented, there are a wide variety of perspectives.
It is beneficial to have our prof Dr. Walsh discuss his own projects, such as the Algernon Charles Swinburne Project, the Chymistry of Isaac Newton, and Comic Book Markup Language. He is active in the digital humanities field, so he is especially knowledgeable when it comes to digital projects and textual studies.
While I think the diversity of interests among the students serves the class well, the range of actual digital humanities experience and background knowledge can cause an imbalance in the class. For instance, there are a handful of students who have worked with digital humanities projects for years. They have advanced degrees in their area of study and are well-versed in the theory, culture and technological backbone of the field. In contrast, there are students who are BRAND new to the field (me!) who took this course as an introduction. As a beginner, I felt overwhelmed at times, like there was no possible way for me to keep up with the more advanced students in the class.
An additional layer of complication is also that some students have humanities research that they actually want to implement in the digital realm, while others (again, like me) are not interested in using their own humanities research as the focus for a project.
- gain an overview of the theory and the types of projects being worked on in the field
- understand the basics of XML, TEI and Omeka
- completion of a DH-related project in which you build on what you learned in class to develop more advanced skills in an area of your choosing.
Learning methods:
This is a 10-15 person seminar-style course. The first 30 minutes of each class consists of the social media presentation, then we discuss that week's assigned readings until the halfway point in class. After taking a break, we either finish talking about the readings or Dr. Walsh shows us aspects of his DH projects. (A notable exception to this format is during the two class periods in the middle of the semester that the class meets in a computer lab to learn about and work with TEI.)
- Weekly readings
- Each week, one person is in charge of presenting for around 20 minutes on recent happenings in the DH world. Some people turn to the Twitter feeds and blogs of notable DH folks, while others show DH projects they came across on the web.
- Each week, another person is in charge of collecting responses from our online forum (we each need to write 6 over the course of the semester) and facilitating a class discussion about the readings.
- A midterm in-class essay.
- Completion of a group of TEI exercises and a follow-up essay.
- A final DH-related project and paper on a topic of your choosing. (Examples include curating an online exhibit using Omeka, doing text analysis with TEI, doing data mining and creating a visualization, etc.)
It's about time I come to terms with the fact that I am not a theory gal. I would often get antsy during my undergraduate seminars on rhetorical theory, much preferring the professional writing and document design components of my program. I learn best when I can read an overview of something then jump in and get my hands dirty, so having a class so focused on theory is not something I've always felt connected to. I've spoken to plenty of people in my class who love long discussions about theory, so I know this is a reflection on my own learning style rather than the value of the course.
As far as the layout of the course goes, I've pondered it and I think that if student interest permitted, a two-semester DH course could be a great asset to our program. One semester could focus on the theoretical background of DH while the other could focus on projects and picking up some concrete tech skills. That way, students could choose whether to take the theory first or second; in my case I certainly think I would get more out of the theory after working on projects. Currently a Digital Libraries course (taught by the same professor) is offered, but even that could benefit from being split into two semesters.
Ultimately I am glad that this class is offered at IU-B; as libraries continue to work closely with digital humanists, it is vital for librarians (who may even be digital humanists themselves!) to have a shared vocabulary. I am SO excited to see humanities disciplines finding new ways to engage audiences and I'm even more excited to see the role that librarians are playing in the process. Although I do not consider myself a digital humanist, as someone who hopes to work with digital projects for special collections and archives in the future I eagerly await the chance to collaborate with them!
School: Pratt Institute School of Information & Library Science
Course Title: Digital Humanities
Professor: Chris Alen Sula, Ph.D
Syllabus: http://phylo.info/chrisalensula.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/syllabus697-sp12.pdf
- Matthew Gold, Debates in the Digital Humanities (University of Minnesota Press, 2012)
- Susan Schreibman, Ray Siemens, John Unsworth, eds. A Companion to Digital Humanities (Blackwell, 2004) [http://www.digitalhumanities.org /companion/]
- Franco Moretti, Graphs, Maps, Trees: Abstract Models for Literary History (Verso, 2007)
- Additional readings posted to the class website (only accessible by the students)
This class has a lot to offer! I found the class discussions to be engaging and informative; we are learning about the history and theory of DH and the class focuses on actual methods used in the field, such as annotation software, mapping and GIS, text and network analysis, etc. The class is heavy on theory but our class discussions relate to commonly used digital tools or DH projects that are currently in development, which also promotes the idea about staying up-to-date on current technologies. And in the end, you have the ability to work on your own DH project and I always enjoy a class that facilitates an experience outside of just writing papers.
This may sound disingenuous but I really have difficulty finding fault in this class. However, I must note that this class is right up my alley-I'm interested in new technologies and the humanities, I really enjoy theory discussion and critical thinking, and I found the assignments to be challenging enough and even enjoyable. Perhaps the one con is that some of the weekly method assignments are very time-consuming especially when one must gather data, apply it to the method, and then evaluate the results. I wanted to spend more time tinkering with the tools to produce something cool for the assignments and I thought four days was just not enough time (the assignment is due the Sunday night after the Wednesday class discussion).
I couldn't think of a better way to word this other than Dr. Sula had already concisely stated, so here it is straight from the syllabus:
The goals of this course are to:
- explore various theoretical and applied perspectives on the digital humanities
- develop familiarity with a wide range of digital humanities projects and methods
- build skills in planning, developing, and evaluating digital humanities projects
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- critically discuss digital humanities in light of current theories and methods
- explain how digital humanities methods and practices are applied in different disciplines
- plan, implement, and evaluate digital humanities project
Learning methods:
Each class begins with Professor Sula discussing the readings for the week along with powerpoint/prezi presentation. The lectures generally lead to active class discussion and conclude with demonstrations of current technologies applicable to the topic of the day.
- Weekly readings
- The first assignment was a 20 minute disciplinary presentation which focused on a particular field of humanities in the DH. I chose Music in DH and was able to present with another student. I thought this assignment was a good way to familiarize students who were new to the DH field; you know, just throw them in and let them get at it.
Weekly assignments include:
- 4 assignments experimenting with methods such as network analysis, mapping, textual analysis and digital annotation. After our experimentation with the method, we write an evaluation based upon our findings.
- 3 assignments are focused on project management exercises that include planning, evaluation and preservation. These are aimed toward helping the student become more familiar with DH projects and the steps taken towards planning and implementing such DH projects.
- The final assignment which is your own DH project (to which your weekly assignments have hopefully been contributing)
- presentation of your final project to the class
Sounds like a lot of work, right? I suppose it may be but if you are serious about coming away from this class with something more than just a bunch of theories, these assignments are an excellent platform from which you can produce something really interesting (and also discuss critically).
Since I am only half-way through this semester, I cannot yet state whether this class is a complete success or not. However, I can say that I am really digging the theory-based lectures and class discussions. The critical evaluations of methods, while sometimes time-consuming and tedious, have been thought-provoking and even (gasp!) fun.
Are any other library school students taking a Digital Humanities class? If so, how do you like it? How has your experience been similar or different to ours?
