New England Journal Refutes Weight-Loss Beliefs in New ReviewPosted: Monday, February 11, 2013
Krista Casazza, PhD, RD, from the Department of Nutrition Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham, and colleagues write in a special article in the New England Journal of Medicine that, "False and scientifically unsupported beliefs about obesity are pervasive in both scientific literature and the popular press."
The authors discuss a total of seven myths, along with refuting evidence. Here are some examples:
The article also explores six "presumptions," or widely accepted beliefs that are neither proven nor disproven. Among them:
Finally, the authors offer nine facts about obesity and weight loss that are supported by data, among them:
According to Dr. Casazza and colleagues, "The myths and presumptions about obesity that we have discussed are just a sampling of the numerous unsupported beliefs held by many people, including academics, regulators, and journalists, as well as the general public. Yet there are facts about obesity of which we may be reasonably certain -- facts that are useful today."
They concluded that, "While we work to generate additional useful knowledge, we may in some cases justifiably move forward with hypothesized, but not proven, strategies. However, as a scientific community, we must always be open and honest with the public about the state of our knowledge and should rigorously evaluate unproved strategies."

Dad took me to a new VET so I thought maybe it would not involve the usual treatments, but I was wrong. Mom had recently noticed that my Sass-O-Meter was down again and that I have been a bit on and off lately. So when I had some gastric distress over the weekend, coupled with some weight loss she conspired with Dad on a plan to remove me from my happy home.
I don't think I can even go into the horror that was my visit. Sure the new VET was very nice and the gave me a little gas to keep me calm but really, I Never! I am still a bit groggy now.
Turns out I have Hyperthyroidism. It's pretty common in older cats and it's very treatable the VET said. Unfortunately I need to take a pill twice a day and although they are small, I will search and refuse that pill out of any treat they try to hide it in. My mission is clear!
Mom Meg Edit: If anycat or human has a kitty with this issue or any ideas on how to sneak in a pill or two a day please let me know.

My mom has a ton of experience with hyperthyroidism, both Morgan (the one who started it all) and my dear precious mentor Jonathan had it. Mom did not give them pills. She went with the radioactive iodine treatment. It seems more expensive up front, but in the long run it's cheaper and super effective.
She's also a master pill popper too.

- Sweet Praline said...
Mom lays me on my back and pries open my little mouth and puts the pill in the back of my mouth and blows on my face to make sure I swallow it. It usually works! I'm not going to saw how long it takes for her to pry my little jaws open.
I hope you are feeling better.

Hi Finny friend,
I'm so sorry to hear of your VET drama. We've all been there. (as you know I've got a "mark" on my vet file... cantankerous, etc...) Hold your ground with the pill, at least at first. You have to on behalf of all us cats. But eventually you'll need to let your mom win. She and we are going to want you around for a long, long time.
PS - Glogirly has a pill popper syringe thing that she thinks works pretty good. (I won't eat anything except my crunchy gingivitis food, so there's no place for those pesky pills to hide there.)

Oh we're so sorry you are hyper-t, Fin, but we hear it is really treatable...but that means taking pills! Our mom is an expert pill giver and we usually don't give her much trouble with taking pills when we gotta take them. But there's also these things call pill pockets which are treats with a little place you stick a pill in and you get the pill and the treat all at once! A win-win situation! You can get pill pockets at PetSmart or other pet stores.
Good luck and we hope you feel your ol' self soon, Fin!

Poor Finny! What an indignity!
Mummy uses a cat Pill Popper for me and Cosmo (like this one)..
We both have jaws of steel, but this works really easily and makes the experience less stressful for all of us!
Now, I'm off to Google "Hyperthyroidism in cats"...
- October 26, 2009 at 8:56 PM
- A Few Good Cats said...
Fin, we sympathize, and Caitie in particular... she also has hyperthyroidism. However, where we live there are "compounding pharmacies" that put together alternatives to pills. There's transdermal cream, which we rub into Nicky's ears, and flavored liquid, which we squirt into Caitie's mouth 2 times a day. Way easier than pills!

Awww, Fin! I'm sorry to hear you're unwell, but you gotta take the tablet, and just be sure to get the cuddles afterwards!

- minekatter said...
Good things it´s curable!!! And oh, pills are hard! We have nooo idea how to trick the cats into swallowing them, other than holding the cat tightly, placing the pill deep in the cat´s mouth and stroke on the throat to get it down. But it´s bit of a hassle. Would love to get good tips!
Get well soon!
- October 26, 2009 at 11:33 PM
- Elin said...
Oh Fin, I hope u will get well soon! But u must take the pills.
My mom usually will get my two sisters help her, wrap me with a towel like a burrito, only my head are not wrap.
Then, one of my sister will hold my body, mom will open my mouth, and my other sister will put the pills.
I can't resist..
But I hate it!

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling the best Fin. Mum says the pill syringe is the only thing that has worked for her in the past. But it can get ugly :)
- October 27, 2009 at 1:22 AM
- Daisy said...
Oh, Fin. Well, I am glad the vet figured out what ails you and it is very treatable. When Harley was taking pills, my Mommeh just pried open his mouth and stuck the pill far back in his mouth. To make sure he swallowed it, she gave him a piece of food.

Sorry you had to go to the V-E-T. Not fun at all. Maybe you'll feel perkier though, my floofy friend.
We have never had to take any pills so I am at a loss as to what to suggest. Put it in ham?
Purrs and good luck!

Suey is an expert at not taking pills. She has had some epic battles with mum in the past. That was, until mum got a pill popper. It was the best $5 mum ever spent.
We are glad that they found out what was wrong and are able to treat it, Finny.
- October 27, 2009 at 3:36 AM
- Cat with a Garden said...
Oh Finny, I'm sad to hear that you have to be on medication. But it sounds very good that it's so treatable and I'm relieved your humans found out so quickly. With pills mom either cradles us in her left arm, opens the mouth and pops in the pill, or she put it in a treat we call "sticks". Those are long "meat" sticks where she pokes a hole in at the front to hide the pill. It always works with Chilli, but not everytime with me.
I hope you will feel better with this treatment and your sass-o-meter will be full again!
Purrs, LSIF

I'm so very sorry to hear about your condition -- but at least it is very treatable! Fin, you be a good girl now -- it's all in the interest of your health.
I found if I put the pill in a bit of butter, that it generally went down the throat better -- didn't get stuck or anything. Also, you have to open the mouth with one hand, and place the pill right at the back of the throat. Then they automatically swallow it.
With the butter, too, it leaves a nicer taste in their mouth, and it's a small treat as well. I mean we are talking a very small bit of butter, here. Just enough to coat the pill.
Good luck!

- The Kitty Krew said...
Poor Fin, we're sorry to hear about your being sicky. At least it's something sorta easy to fix, but you really do need to be a good kitty and let your mom give you your pills. We wouldn't want to lose you, dear friend!
Purrs and hugs,

Sorry to hear that you were a little under the weather. And more sorry to hear that you had to go to the vet. Even thought we don't like the vet he/she is trying to help you get feeling better. It is just they don't go about it in the nicest of ways.
I have no idea to pass on to your folks about hiding a pill, thought even if I knew I don't think I would share that with them, but I don't think there is anyway to get a pill snuck to us if we don't want it.
So best thing to do is just take the pill, makes things easier on all. They are going to give it to you anyway.

Aw poor Fin. At least now you will start feeling better! Smokey likes when I hide his pills in cheese, but most times I have to be the mean mommy and force them down the hatch. ;(
- October 27, 2009 at 8:07 AM
- d said...
Along the same lines as smear the pill with butter, a smear of soft cheese (like Velveeta slices) makes at least the aftertaste better. And my brother Gandalf liked the cheese so much he ate it even though he knew the pill was inside.
- October 27, 2009 at 8:58 AM
- Riley & Tiki said...
Mommy uses a pill shooter followed by a treat for me. I am such a good girl that I come when she calls me to get my pill. She barely pulls up on my fangs and I open my mouth for her. Sometimes I start opening my mouth before she even puts her hand there. She never held me down or burritoed me. Even in the beginning she just pulled up on the top of my head with one hand (thumb and 1st finger over the fangs). I really like treats, so that worked well for us. I have trained her to give me treats almost every time.
P.S. The dog takes his in kielbasa and Riley used to take his in cheese or pill pockets.

Sorry you're under the weather, Fin! Minnie loves pill pockets, so I hide pills in there. I've also hidden them in a ball of her favorite stinky-meat. Either way, she eats 'em. I never had any luck shoving a pill down her throat manually.

Oh noes, Fin! Sorry to hear about your condition, but we are so glad to hear it's treatable! As for the pill, Cal refused and spit our any pill mom would give him, but he LOVED pill pockets!!!

I'm a pill-popping expert, and I swear by the pill shooters. They're like a 6 inch straw but they have a little compartment up front that's rubber that you stuff the pill in and so you just get the cat's mouth open and put it at the back of the throat... push the little trigger down and the pill goes down the hatch. Close cat's mouth and hold for a few seconds, and release. The trick to getting them to cooperate is 1, sit around them... almost on them. Back legs wrapped around their hind end, your butt on your heels (so long as you don't squish the cat). this keeps kitty from going any way but forward. As for opening the mouth, push into their mouth near the jaw hinge on both sides. I haven't yet seen a cat that doesn't open for that. Ask your vet for a pill shooter... they'll know what I'm talking about. TRUST ME on this. I used to get MAULED. Now I don't even get nibbled or scratched. The cat'll get over it soon enough once the ickiness goes away!

Fin that stinks that you have hyperthyroidism - but at least it is fairly easy to take care of (well, other then wrestling to get the pill down). We had two cats with it growing up - they didn't mind the pill in their food though.
With Floyd when he was still eating he would take it in either a treat or cheese but now that he is not eating on his own I have to give it to him - convince him to open the mouth and pop the pill in as far back as possible. That is working better now then it used to but he really fights me on it sometimes. I wish I had a better suggestion for you.

No. 46: Washington
By Paul Myerberg // Jul 19, 2011
A short, to-the-point history of Washington football: good, great, good, bad, good, bad, great – Don James – good, bad, awful, good. Awful: Keith Gilbertson and Ty Willingham. The final good: Steve Sarkisian. That Washington's current coach has lifted the Huskies back into relevance so shortly after hitting absolute rock-bottom under his predecessor bodes very well for the program's future under his watch. Yet I wonder: Does Sarkisian have what it takes to lead U.W. back to the top of the Pac-12? That's a question for 2012 and beyond, not 2011, as while Washington continues to improve with each season it's clear that these Huskies aren't quite built for Rose Bowl contention. But didn't many say that it would take Sarkisian years to rebuild the roster after his predecessor's nosedive? Well, it didn't take long for Sarkisian and the Huskies to knock off the vaunted Trojans, to win five games in conference play and to win, not just reach bowl play, so perhaps we would be wise to not question Washington's direction under its third-year coach.

Last year's prediction
Even a year after his ascension to the job, Sarkisian is not playing with a full deck. He will be, and soon. In 2010, look for continued improvement defined by the occasional stumble, as developing teams are wont to do. There's plenty to like: Locker is one of the top quarterbacks in the country; the Huskies have surrounded him with a handful of solid offensive skill players; and the secondary is primed to make a significant impact. Yet I can't ignore some of the concerns: unless we see sizable improvement during the fall, both sides of the line will be this team's Achilles heel. Other Pac-10 teams have fewer issues, thus my belief that of the conference's second grouping, Washington is the least likely to challenge for a Rose Bowl berth. I'm predicting seven wins: lest we forget, U.W. went 0-12 in 2008. The program is headed in a wonderful direction: up.
2010 recap
In a nutshell On paper, it was a struggle: 1-2 entering October, 3-5 entering November, the Huskies needed a three-game winning streak to end the regular season to reach bowl eligibility. On paper, it wasn't quite the successful season some had envisioned in Steve Sarkisian's second season. Take a step back, however, and view the big picture. Sarkisian inherited the worst situation imaginable, an 0-12 mess laid on his doorstep by his predecessor, Ty Willingham. He needed to not only rebuild a talent-less roster, by and large, but also reverse the kind of losing mentality that pervades such a miserable situation. When viewing Washington's 6-6 regular season through that prism, the Huskies should be proud of how far they've come in two seasons. I said entering a Holiday Bowl rematch against Nebraska that another 35-point loss to the Cornhuskers — Washington was manhandled at home during the regular season — would send U.W. into the winter on a very low note. So much for that: the Huskies dictated the tempo, controlling the line on both sides of the ball for a key win over a marquee opponent.
High point A 32-31 over U.S.C. on Oct. 2, or perhaps a double-overtime win over Oregon State two games later. Each helped remove the sting of a slow start, even if the Huskies needed that three-game winning streak in November to reach bowl eligibility. For me, however, the bowl win over Nebraska was the high point of the season.
Low point The four best teams U.W. would face in the regular season — Nebraska, Arizona, Oregon and Stanford — would outscore the Huskies by a combined total of 194-51. Over the four games, that would come out to an average final score of roughly of 49-13.
Tidbit Washington's eight-year bowl absence, which came to an end last season, was especially troubling for a fan base accustomed to not just consistent bowl appearances but national title contention. But it wasn't the program's longest bowl absence since the Huskies made their first bowl trip in 1924 – when U.W. tied Navy, 14-14, in the Rose Bowl. It would be 11 years from 1926, when the Huskies lost to Alabama in Pasadena, before they returned to bowl play against U.S.C. in 1937. In terms of college football's modern era, beginning in 1936, Washington has suffered through two extended periods of bowl-free play: 16 years, from 1944-60, and 14 years, from 1964-78. Still, in terms of the recent era of bowl proliferation, the eight-year period of staying home for bowl play was a new program-low.
Tidbit (turnover edition) Some good teams excel on offense but suffer on defense; some put the clamps down defensively but can't score; but all good teams fare better than the opposition in turnover margin. Well, nearly all. One area where Washington has seen a drastic improvement under Sarkisian is in this category: after finishing in the bottom half of the F.B.S. in turnover margin from 2006-8 – 117th nationally in 2008 – the Huskies have been in the positive in each of the last two seasons. In 2009, U.W. ranked 35th nationally in turnover margin. The Huskies dropped a bit to 47th last fall, but remained in the black – 19 takeaways, 17 giveaways.
Tidbit (100-word preview edition) Today's guest writer is loyal reader Dr. Klahn, whose correct answer to a quiz in the East Carolina preview, which you can find along the right sidebar, earned him the opportunity to pen a 100-word preview of his favorite team. His team? The Washington Huskies. Take it away, Doctor. Also, I have this pain when I… we'll talk about that later.
Constrained by the 100 word limit my preview will focus on the two players I am most looking forward to watching in 2011, DT Alameda Ta'amu and TB Chris Polk.
Ta'amu progressed steadily throughout the season and was a major factor in Washington's much improved rush defense over the last four games. His season peaked in the Holiday bowl where he recorded a sack, recovered a fumble and forced a safety while the defense held the Huskers to just 91 yards rushing. His improvement throughout last season, along with the developing talent around him indicates that he is due for great things in 2011.
Washington would not have accomplished much without Chris Polk last year. His 1400+ yards are an impressive accomplishment considering the young offensive line, inconsistent passing game and having to perpetually shed tacklers. Hopefully, the 2011 season allows him to accumulate more yards than Bob "Rah-Rah" Condotta accumulates blog posts.

Steve Sarkisian (Brigham Young '97), 12-13 after two seasons with the Huskies. Washington's win total in his first season marked a five-game improvement over Ty Willingham's final year in Seattle. Last fall, Sarkisian lifted U.W. back in bowl play after an eight-year absence. Sarkisian came to Seattle after spending seven seasons as a key member of Pete Carroll's staff at U.S.C. He first arrived at Southern California as an offensive assistant (2001) before rapidly climbing the team's coaching ladder. From 2007-8, Sarkisian served as the Trojans' offensive coordinator; over this time, U.S.C. went 23-3, averaging at least 32 points and 430 yards of total offense in each season. Before taking on play-calling duties – a job he took over from Lane Kiffin, now the coach at U.S.C. – Sarkisian was the team's quarterbacks coach (2002-3, 2005-6). Over that four-year period, Sarkisian was responsible for tutoring two Heisman Trophy winners, Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart, and an all-conference honoree, John David Booty. Sarkisian was also U.S.C.'s assistant head coach from 2005 to 2008. A one-year hiatus from U.S.C. (2004) was spent as the quarterbacks coach with the Oakland Raiders; probably because of this stint, and his success at U.S.C., Sarkisian was Al Davis's first choice to replace Norv Turner as Oakland's head coach in 2007, a position that eventually went to Kiffin. Sarkisian is a young, energetic, emotional coach – like his former boss, Carroll – who has had an immediate impact in rallying the support of both his players and the Husky fan base. Willingham, his predecessor, didn't do Sarkisian any favors: his first team was far less talented than recent Washington teams. The roster gets better with each recruiting cycle, and there's no reason to think that Sarkisian won't lead U.W. back into major Rose Bowl contention once his roster is populated entirely with his own recruits.
Players to watch
So much for that quarterback controversy. The competition lasted through spring practice and a matter of days: it was clear throughout spring drills that Keith Price was the answer, not Nick Montana, and Sarkisian merely made if official roughly a week after the spring game in May. The choice was easy; that doesn't make the transition from Jake Locker to Price any less troubling, if only because of the added dimension Locker – one of the finest athletes in college football – brought to this offense. But bear with me here: Locker was a very nice college quarterback, but U.W. can get more from the quarterback position. While numbers don't tell the whole story for Locker, take note of the following: against Nebraska, U.S.C., Stanford and U.C.L.A., Locker completed 50 of 111 attempts for 569 yards with 2 touchdowns against 5 interceptions; against everyone but Syracuse and Oregon State, Locker hit on 141 of 264 attempts for 1,690 yards with 8 touchdowns and 8 picks.
The Huskies can get more on the passing end, at least. Locker, for all this athletic gifts, never developed into the passer most expected him to become under Sarkisian's tutelage – partly due to injuries, to be fair. Washington hopes that Price, a sophomore, can turn into the sort of pass-first quarterback Sarkisian tutored to such acclaim while a U.S.C. assistant. Does Price have what it takes to provide more balance to this offense? He has a nice ceiling, though we won't know what Washington will get until he leads this offense into games against Nebraska, California and the rest of the Pac-12.
I know it's nearly sacrilegious to say so, seeing how well-regarded Locker is among the U.W. fan base, but I really think the passing game will be better in 2011 than it was in 2009 and 2010. Price won't make things happen to the same degree with his legs, no. But he will complete around 60 percent of his attempts, if not more, and will be more consistent as a passer than was his predecessor. Most of this faith stems from the fact that he has Sarkisian in his corner; there aren't many better quarterback coaches in the country.
It's a good thing that Price will have two of the best offensive skill players in the country to work with. One is all-conference running back Chris Polk, who opted to return for his junior season rather than test the N.F.L. waters. I never thought he would leave early, but Washington fans still held their breath while he weighed his decision. After making a name for himself in 2009, rushing for 1,113 yards, Polk really flourished in 2010: 1,415 yards and 9 scores, cracking the 1oo-yard mark six times, including a 284-yard showing against Washington State and a tough, gritty, 177-yard performance against Nebraska. If you can run for 177 yards on the Cornhuskers, you can do it against anyone. Polk is one of the best running backs in the country. Right behind him is sophomore Jessie Callier (433 yards, 18 receptions), who was a nice second option in his rookie season. He's next in line when Polk does depart.
Polk's opposite number at receiver, senior Jermaine Kearse, is also one of the nation's best. He is on occasion, at least, as while Kearse has the physical skills to dominate all Pac-12 cornerbacks he does struggle at times with consistency – not just individual drops but game-long absences, such as we saw a few times in 2010. Washington needs a full season from Kearse, who made 63 grabs for 1,005 yards and 12 scores last fall, especially with a new starter under center. He's good enough to be an all-American. The Huskies also have some nice complimentary options in senior Devin Aguilar (28 catches for 352 yards) and junior James Johnson, though the latter must recapture his 2009 form after doing nothing of consequence a year ago. Keep an eye on the following players: sophomore receiver Kevin Smith, who used a strong spring to grab a starting role; true freshman tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, a top-notch recruit who could be a major factor in 2011; and incoming true freshman receiver Kasen Williams, who arrives in the fall.
Is it all good news offensively? Not quite: the line is a question mark, with three lost starters and a lack of enviable depth. Numbers are arriving each season, so depth will eventually be built; for now, U.W. needs several non-seniors to step into key roles. The one senior starter, left tackle Senio Kelemete, is the team's best lineman – and he'd better be, seeing that he will occupy that all-important blind side position. The second returning starter is center Drew Schaefer, a junior. How will the rest of the line play out? Sophomore Colin Porter will get the call at right guard after making six starts as a rookie. Where U.W. goes at left guard and right tackle will hinge on the play of sophomore Erik Kohler, who can play both spots. If Kohler plays inside, it would open up the right side to another sophomore, Ben Riva; his lack of size – about 275, according to the most recent tally – is a bit of a concern.
Here's a name to remember on this Washington defense: senior tackle Alameda Ta'amu. All good play starts up front; more specifically, nearly all good play begins and ends with a solid presence along the interior of the line, which the Huskies have with Ta'amu (40 tackles, 5 for loss), an honorable mention all-conference pick a year ago. It's mostly about size with the senior, who is tough for interior linemen to handle at the point of attack, but Ta'amu has also flashed a quick burst into the backfield, making him one of the Pac-12's best linemen, interior or otherwise.
Ta'amu is one of six returning linemen with starting experience, including all four of the linemen who ended last season in the starting lineup. Joining him inside is the duo of sophomore Sione Potoa'e and junior Semisi Tokolahi, who split time in 2010. Look for redshirt freshman Lawrence Lagafuaina to play an important role in limited doses behind Ta'amu, paving the way for his turn as the starter in 2012.
U.W. brings back senior Everrette Thompson (35 tackles, 5 for loss) and sophomore Hau'oli Jamora (49 tackles, 3 sacks) at end, hoping that both can continue to stand up against the run while doing a better job getting to the quarterback. The pass rush is one area where this defense must improve, in fact: Jamora's three sacks lead all returning defenders. Looking for a potential difference-maker? Look no further than former U.C.L.A. transfer Josh Shirley, a redshirt freshman who will be asked to do one, simple thing: rush the quarterback. Judging by spring reports, Shirley will excel in his rush-only role.
The wide majority of last season's two-deep in the secondary returns, but the one loss is a big one. Washington will need to retool at strong safety without all-conference pick Nate Williams, who finished second on the team in tackles last fall. The Huskies are looking at a trio of sophomores in his vacant spot, with Sean Parker, a reserve last fall, the leading contender. The rest of the secondary remains intact. Junior Desmond Trufant and senior Quinton Richardson will be at cornerback: Trufant has all-conference talent, while Richardson, with 30 career starts, is one of the most experienced players on the team. Junior Nate Fellner was a very nice surprise at free safety a year ago. After making a nice climb forward in 2010, the secondary should be just as good, if not better, this coming season.
Position battle(s) to watch
Linebacker With the quarterback competition ending shortly after the end of spring practice, it's clear that linebacker becomes the most closely-watched position on the roster. Two starters must be replaced: one is Mason Foster, the all-American weak side linebacker who finished second nationally in tackles; the other is Victor Aiyewa, who set a new single-season program record with 16.5 tackles for loss off the strong side. That leaves senior middle linebacker Cort Dennison (93 tackles, 8.5 for loss) as the lone returning starter, and Dennison must both help recoup the lost pair's production while assuming a leadership role with this defense as a whole. Dennison, an honorable mention all-conference pick last fall, is good enough to pick up the slack. But the losses are significant, and he can't go it alone. So enter the youngsters, the freshmen and sophomores hungry for the opportunity this open depth chart presents. Here's the word of the day for the Washington two-deep at linebacker: or. Make that OR – a word illustrating just how unsettled the depth chart is on the outside. How will things shake out? Ask again in late August, when Nick Holt and the U.W. defensive staff have another series of practices with which to judge the potential applicants. For now, it's just a guessing game – but you can look at sophomores Garrett Gilliland and Princeton Fuimaono as two linebackers likely to play meaningful roles. Gilliland seems like a solid choice to step in for Foster on the weak side, seeing that he's the most experienced linebacker on the roster behind Dennison, whom he replaced in the starting lineup for the win over Nebraska. There's really nothing settled on the strong side: it may be Fuimaono, it may be redshirt freshman Jamaal Kearse, it may be John Timu, who can play on the weak side or the strong side – it may be a player who has yet to make his mark. It was though that JUCO transfer Thomas Tutogi was an option here, but it seems that he lacks the speed to play on the outside. As of today, no position on defense remains as open as strong side linebacker.
Game(s) to watch
Another date with Nebraska, the rubber match of a three-game series that stands tied at a game apiece heading into September. That game is a nice barometer for U.W. in Sarkisian's third season, but it won't decide Washington's season: the year will be decided during Pac-12 play, most notably against teams like California, Utah, Colorado and Arizona. Those teams inhabit the middle of the conference, like Washington, and the team that comes out on top will stand right below Oregon and Stanford as the best of the Pac-12's second tier.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell I don't understand the lack of love for Washington heading into 2011. Is it just because the Huskies must replace Jake Locker? Let me say it again: Locker was a superb athletic talent, but Washington can get more out of the quarterback position. Price is not going to step in and be an all-conference quarterback from the start; he'll be a better passer from the start, however, and the offense will have far more balance than it did a year ago. A consistent passing game is really all this offense needs to rank among the top half of the Pac-12, as there are several talented skill players who rank among the conference's best. That list includes Polk and Kearse, but watch out for Seferian-Jenkins, who adds a different dimension to the passing attack. Yeah, the line needs work, but there are several talented younger options poised to step into larger roles. Defensively, all U.W. needs to do is locate two starting linebackers; the line and secondary are in very good shape. Washington's not a Rose Bowl contender, but anything less than another seven wins would be surprising, in my mind. How could this team not make at least a one-win improvement off last year's mark? Most of all, I have a tremendous amount of faith in Sarkisian and his staff, who have done wonderfully in very difficult straits since arriving following the 2008 season. The arrow is pointing up for Washington, in my mind. This isn't a nationally-ranked team, but U.W. is definitely in the mix for another upper-tier bowl game in 2011.
Dream season From 0-12 to 5-7 to 7-6 to a 9-3 regular season, complete with wins over Nebraska, Stanford, U.S.C. and Washington State.
Nightmare season Sarkisian and Washington don't come close to sliding back to the Willingham days, but the Huskies finish with a disappointing 4-8 record.

Small correction, Nick Montana plays for the Huskies. Nate Montana plays at University of Montana.
Also, a misspelling of Ben Riva. Great write up as always!
Texas Tech is next
Can't argue about much of what was said in this write up, however the loss of fullback zack fogerson and tailback deontae cooper leave some question about our depth in the backfield. We will have some quality TE's that may be asked to help step up in blocking plays to help cover the weakness at fullback, but the Huskies need Polk and Callier to stay healthy for us to have the kind of rushing pressure we need to make Price's first year a great one.
Paul: Maybe should have mentioned Fogerson's replacement. But didn't mention Cooper because even before his latest knee injury I'm not sure if he was going to make an impact in 2011. Not sure if he'll ever play again at this point. U.W. has some nice RB depth, but you're right, getting a third option just in case would be comforting.
spelling correction for the Former Players in the NFL section: Dashon GOLDSON, MASON Foster, Isaiah StanbAck
Paul: Thanks. You have no idea how tiresome it is to write these names down year after year, year after year. Surprising that there aren't more mistakes.
Tomorrow's is TEXAS TECH – definitely…
(because it's already 'accidentally' listed as such in the " Print, Peruse, Prognosticate: 2011″ article elsewhere on the website! oops!
Paul: Son of a bitch. I thought I had scheduled that for 12:02 tomorrow morning! All full of errors today. That gives it away a bit, doesn't it?
The WR is named Kevin Smith, not Keith Smith.
Another correction, Dennison was in the lineup at LB in the Holiday Bowl win. He was replaced by Gilliland when we get walloped during the regular season.
I'm also not sure how I feel about your assertions about the passing game. Locker didn't have great numbers, but he did demand attention and open up opportunities for our skill players and Price will not do that. I have a feeling it may be about a push since we should be able to get the TEs involved in the passing game to force the defense to actually defend the middle of the field, and that was something Locker just didn't have last year.
Excellent work. After reading this, I would trust your assessments of other programs for my season previews.
Very good write-up; I appreciate finding out more about this team and I leave your review both more familiar with the Huskies, but also more impressed and with higher expectations than I had going into the review. The middle-of-the-pack games against UCB, Utah, and Arizona will prove decisive and I like UDub's chances in those matches more than I did before reading.
For independent bookstores, I don't know if you've ever been to Raven Used Books in Cambridge, MA… but it's absolutely in my top-5.
Another small correction, Ben Riva is a redshirt frosh not a soph as is listed in the article.
Nice write up though I think Jamora should get some more love, he had a dominant Holiday Bowl as well with 3.5 tackles for loss.
Sean Parker is also a highly touted player so replacing Nate Williams might not be as difficult as mentioned in this article.
I think Keith Price will do fine because he will have a TE Seferain -Jenkins & Harvigton to help him out which hurt Locker when Middleton was kicked off the team. Also Price doesnt have to be the best player on the field just be smart which Locker put too much weight on his shoulders. Deontae Cooper will be back look for Bishop Sankey and/or Jorhi Forgerson will make up the slack for RB depth and RB Kyle Lewis will also be on board this fall. The only weakness on defense will be LB not because UW doesnt have talent just short on experience. The key is how they will play Stanford, Arizona, Oregon and USC (who made Locker a first round draft pick in the first place) if they can go at least 3-1 against them watch out!!!

How I learned to keep worrying and love library school
06/09/2011 § 30 Comments
Alyssa Vincent is entering her second (and final) year with Emporia State University's School of Library and Infromation Management Program in Portland, Oregon. She is a library assistant at the University of Oregon-Portland Library and Learning Commons and a Data Management Intern at One Economy. She also volunteers in Bitch Magazine's Library. You can read her blog here: ex libris, et cetera, and be sure to follow her on twitter: @vin_alyssa.
So, you've subscribed to your library blogs, bought your textbooks, stocked up on highlighters, and are ready for your new life as a library school student/future superstar librarian. Every child will love reading because of you! Students will have unprecedented information literacy skills thanks to your trailblazing instruction!
Yeah, but first you have to get over all of this self-doubting, second-guessing, and generalized loathing of library school and librarianship.
There is no rule saying that every library student has to fundamentally doubt themselves. But nearly every student—even the one who can't stop foaming at the mouth over becoming a member of the American Library Association and speaks in acronyms—will at some point question their commitment to school and the profession. The good news? You're human. The bad news? Seriously doubting something that you're paying/loaning thousands of dollars for and devoting tons of time to sucks.
I self-identify as a chronic doubter. I assume that the best decision to make is the one I didn't make, and the decision to go to library school wasn't exempt from that. I had two choices: go to Parson's New School for Design and get my MA in Fashion Studies or enroll in Emporia State University and obtain my MLS. From the moment I chose the life of the librarian, I have had more doubts than I can count. But none stronger than the doubts I felt during the second half of my first year at school.
During my first semester, I had nagging moments of self-doubt, but pure adrenaline guided me through. Along with starting school, I had just moved across the county and in with my boyfriend, begun a new job, and volunteered at a couple of different organizations. But as the year went on and I inevitably settled into my new home and new roles, I started feeling…weird. At first, I couldn't put my finger on it, but all of the sudden I was steering clear of all things libr*. I hated theory, research, and the Library of Congress (even though they've never personally wronged me). By the second month of these feelings, I felt like a shell of myself as I went through the motions of doing my homework and participating in online/class discussions. At that point, I seriously considered dropping out of my school. I felt alone, scared, and stupid for spending so much money on a program and a life that wasn't making me happy.
What we have here is a textbook case of "library schoolpacalypse." Thankfully, there are a couple of survival techniques that you can employ to wade your way through this mental war zone.
Don't be afraid to voice your insecurities.
If you find yourself spiraling downward into a never-ending state of doubt, by all means, say something. Maybe don't call your cataloging professor at midnight to express your deepest, darkest fears, but talk to a classmate. Don't like your classmates? Talk to the Internet! Case in point: I enjoy my classmates, but wasn't feeling comfortable divulging the true extent of my insecurities to people with familiar faces, so I originally blogged about my insecurities on my personal Tumblr. As a result, random library folk responded with honest and encouraging words. Those classmates I was afraid to talk to expressed sentiments akin to "I'm so glad you wrote that! I was feeling like that for (insert number of days/weeks/months) and I thought I was totally alone." Guess what? You're not alone in what you're feeling, and that's one of the most comforting things to remember when you're navigating your way through school (and life, really).
Validate your feelings, and take time to decipher them.
Only you can know whether or not this doubt is stemming from a real dissatisfaction with your program and the idea of being an information professional or if it's something that ebbs and flows. A lot of times though, it's hard to distinguish feelings of true discontent from periods of insecurity and doubt. It's important to mentally sit down with yourself as many times as you need to and decipher what you're feeling.
- Is it stress over a major assignment you're not confident about completing?
- Is it a class that you hate that you had thought you would love?
- Does your stomach turn when you think about dealing with people and information every day?
I experience all of these feelings and more. But the feeling that never sticks around for long is the last one. Sure, I have bad days where I don't feel like dealing with people at all–much less people with complex information needs–but those pass. Pardon my simplicity, but sometimes school is not fun. You can get a bad professor, an assignment that seems pointless, or peers that annoy you to no end. If you're lucky, all three will happen at once! But you're not there forever, and someday, you'll be helping people connect to information that might improve their lives…and sometimes worrying about your ability to succeed at that.
Let's fast forward to present time. I'm back on Team LIS thanks to thoughtful discussions with peers, an attitude check, and a new-found community. My attitude check was one of the most helpful adjustments that I could have made. Sure, doubts are natural, but throwing a 24/7 pity party isn't. I forced myself to look at the positives of my program and found plenty that I had been formerly ignoring. Also, I challenged myself to actively look outside my program for professional fulfillment. My new-found community was found thanks to a desperate Google search of "fashion librarianship." It turns out that there's a thriving community of fashion/costume librarians, a career that only a few months ago I had been afraid to want because it might be impractical. Now, I religiously follow the ARLIS/NA Fashion, Textile, and Costume Librarians blog and have a new reason to move towards a career that unites my interests of organization, access, digitization of physical objects, and fashion.
Putting a halt to the doubting cycle takes work. And here's the kicker: doubting is an inescapable part of life, so it's best to get used to the work now. The best and most meaningful decisions we make have the most emotional baggage attached to them. Does that mean it's the wrong decision? Nope. I'm writing this post while I'm feeling particularly confident about school, but I know that doubts will come again. And I'll do my best not to fear them, because they can serve as a way to mentally check in with myself and make sure that I'm getting the most out of this experience that I can. I hope you'll be able to view your doubts in a similar light.
§ 30 Responses to How I learned to keep worrying and love library school
Thanks much for this post. I think a lot of people in graduate school in general face this, and library school is obviously no exception! I went through a lot of library school-related anxiety during my 2nd semester, and it built up to a point where I knew I couldn't deal with it alone anymore. As a commuter student, I felt like I hadn't built up that support group of friends in my program yet, so what I ended up doing was using the counseling services that the university offered as a part of our student health fee. For me, having an objective 3rd party to my worries was really helpful. My counselor was awesome and helped me identify where the self-doubt and anxiety were coming from, which really helped me get back on track and motivated to finish my program and face job hunting without melting into a pile of anxious goo. :)
Thrilled you didn't melt into a pile of anxious goo! I often wondered if the isolation and confusion I felt at times stemmed from the fact that I wasn't seeing my peers every day. Having that objective 3rd party is another excellent solution to these feelings of doubt and isolation!
I just read a post about this on the zen habits blog: http://zenhabits.net/miss/
You can't worry about missed opportunities or all the other things you could be doing. You can always change your mind, but follow where your choices lead you. Second guessing is often nonconstructive and distracts you from doing your best. In this case becoming a "superstar librarian," as you so enthusiastically put it.
Thank you thank you thank you for this!! I've just started my first semester a few weeks ago and the feeling I can most akin it to is drowning. I keep repeating Dori from "Finding Nemo," "just keep swimming, just keep swimming.." It's very brave to put yourself out there and say, "hey, this is hard and I'm struggling a little." I appreciate your post for that. I keep telling myself that it's two years out of my life and nobody can take my degree away from me. I haven't yet struggled with the decesion to obtain my MLS, I have, however struggled with insecurities of "I'm not smart enough," and "everyone is a way more critical thinker than me." I'm coming to the realization that those feelings are okay, as long as they don't consume me. Thank you for making me (and I'm sure others) feel like we are not alone. I have to go do homework now :-) Thanks, Alyssa!
@Andy–that's a great blog post, and I plan on keeping that in mind as I move along in school (and life, basically). Thank you!
I think there is definitely something to be said for the diversity of insecurities that we all feel whether we're in school or out. This post could have been approximately 3,000 words and I still would not have covered everything that I've felt less than 100% confident about. But I'm glad to hear others chime in and acknowledge that 100% confident isn't always what we need in order to operate. Sometimes we just need to take Dori's advice via Brianna!
Thanks for this post Alyssa. I have definitely had similar feelings from time to time during my first year of study. It's great that you brought this issue to light.
Alyssa, you touch on something – i believe – that all library school folks (and those that have graduated) come in contact with. I had my doubts, particularly when running into a bad class/instructor in of all things – into to reference. It is one of my favorite subjects, but just having that bad experience almost put me completely out of my program. Fortunately, my program was completely synchronous, so I had access to others who gave me encouragement. I still get the downers, and doubts about the profession, but I know that I made the best choice to become a librarian – the best profession in the world – and it is even a second career for me!
@brian…You too?! I had a horrible experience with an instructor in an intro reference class! I cried through the entire semester. I had been looking forward to taking that class for so long too.
Finally! It's nice to read this. I almost quit so many times my first semester and the second semester wasn't much better. It's a relief to just admit that, for the most part, I hate library school. At this point, I'm just glad to see a light at the end of the tunnel and I do feel good about choosing this profession, despite my experience at school.
Thank you so much for this! I just started my program, and am feeling way over my head! I know that once I adjust to the sheer amount of reading, everything else will fall into place. Brianna, I too, love Dory, and maybe we all need to "just keep swimming", or, in our case, "just keep reading"!
I know I will have doubts about many things in life, but thinking that this is a waste of my time and money isn't one of them. I will have low points, but I know I'll have high points as well.
Keep the faith!
Thanks for your post! I felt similarly in my second semester, though it was more of the "i'm never gonna find a job in this economic nightmare" pocalypse coupled with the perils of distance learning. I absolutely agree that active leadership within one's program and LIS community can help create positive outcomes. At the very least, a feeling of solidarity with peers goes a long way.

It's good to read about the fears and insecurities of so many other LIS students. I've been feeling overwhelmed for awhile now as I work full-time and take a couple of classes each semester. It feels as if it's going to take forever doing it this way. I do have moments of wondering what the heck I'm doing. No one "gets it" – why I want to be a librarian or why libraries are important or how they are changing, and sometimes I worry that they are right. Maybe I am fighting my way into a dying profession. But, that just doesn't feel true when I talk to other students and library professionals. It sometimes feels like we really can save the world.
Even still, the job seeking process has been getting me down lately. I'm working for a small Savings and Loan (yes, they still exist) as an Administrative Assistant, which allows me to wear a lot of hats – marketing, organization, communications, even nonprofit development work (don't ask, it's complicated). It's rewarding and keeps me busy and I'm always learning new things. The only problem is that it's not in a library, doesn't allow me to work with people "more like me", and doesn't contribute to the greater good in the way that I'm looking for. So, I've had my eye out for Library Assistant positions or something similar, but it's impossible to find anything full-time here in central Ohio, and I am unfortunately spoiled by having luxuries like health insurance. Having so much trouble now makes me afraid that things are only going to be harder when I'm looking for my "big girl" job, once I have my MLIS. I know that's just how things are for everyone right now. I guess I'm just worrying again…But it does feel good to get it out to people who "get it"…Thanks everyone!

Happy to read this post! I am in my first term of library school with two more terms to go. I've entered graduate school after working for corporate America for the last 11 years. I have been most surprised by the highs and lows I feel with graduate school. One minute, I'm a bloody rockstar, a minute later I feel like I am the dumbest person in the program. It's been quite a ride, just these last 8 weeks, but I keep reminding myself of the bigger picture – I want to be a librarian! I hope someday I'll feel confident in DDC, and won't mix up LCC and LCSH and the list goes on …
At some point all this new information is going to sink in. It has to if I want to be the kicka** librarian I want to be!

VA208 is a commercial mission for Arianespace. On board are two telecommunications satellites that will be placed in geostationary transfer orbits.
Intelsat 20 will replace the Intelsat 7 and Intelsat 10 satellites, which are co-located at 68.5 degrees east. From there, it will supply communications services to the Pacific region and Africa, as well as the Near and Middle East, using 28 C-band and 46 Ku-band transponders. Intelsat 20 is already the 53rd satellite bearing the name Intelsat to be launched by an Ariane rocket. The business relationship between Intelsat and Arianespace began very early on – the seventh Ariane flight carried Intelsat 507 into space in October 1983. Since then, on average two Intelsat satellites have been included in the payload of an Ariane flight every year.
The second payload on this flight is HYLAS 2 (Highly Adaptable Satellite) owned by the British company Avanti Communications. From a location at 33.5 degrees west, this satellite, weighing 3300 kilograms and equipped with 24 Ka-band transponders, is to extend the service provided by HYLAS 1, which is already in orbit, offering broadband data services to northern and southern Africa as well as to Europe and the Middle East. Avanti Communications has also worked closely with Ariane; the company's first satellite, HYLAS 1, was also launched on board an Ariane rocket back in November 2010.
Mission VA208 is a new record for Ariane; the total payload mass of 10,181 kilograms (6100 kilograms for Intelsat 20, 3303 kilograms for HYLAS 2 and 778 kilograms for the SYLDA multiple-launch system and the payload adapters) is the largest mass ever transported into geostationary transfer orbit on board an Ariane launcher.

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it's something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.
My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling and am currently working on trying to get my other half to as many place in the world as possible.

Akira YAMAOKA welcomes a special guest during his showcase on Sunday: the French singer Manu, which sings with him on stage for one song!
Don't miss Manu on the stage of the J.E. Live House
with Akira YAMAOKA on Sunday!
After Dolly, Manu went on tour in 2007 with the former guitarist of the band, Nikko, the drummer Nirox and the guitarist-bassist Ben. The band then registered the album Rendez-Vous, released in late 2008 on Manu's new label, Tekini Records. Co-realized with Jean-François Delort, Nikko and Manu, the album was sold up to 10.000 copies and the band went on tour pretty much everywhere in France and Switzerland between 2008 and late 2009.
The tour ended on November 28, 2009 at the Elysée Montmartre in Paris, a magical live available in the DVD/CD Rendez-Vous à l'Elysée Montmartre (Tekini Records), released in late 2010. In 2011, Manu is composing and writing her next album. To be followed...
