A survey course that covers constitutional, statutory, and common law principles common to all public education systems within the United States. Included in the applicable law are a variety of substantive legal areas--e.g., torts, property, contracts, administrative law, and fundamental rights. A survey course, by definition, introduces students to numerous topics, but does not provide an opportunity for an in-depth analysis. Although the course includes sections on collective bargaining and employment discrimination, to the extent that these subjects are covered in other courses, they will not be covered in the American School Law course.
Not offered this academic year.

The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: October 30, 2005
Author: Gianni L, Zambetti, K., et al.
Source: Journal of Clinical Oncology 23;29, 2005.
Gene array and RT-PCR technology allows for the rapid evaluation of hundreds of individual genes that may play a role in predicting response to chemotherapy. Previously, such techniques were limited by the fact that fresh tissue was required for analysis, but recent studies have demonstrated that a sufficient amount of RNA can be extracted from paraffin-embedded samples.
Recently, Paik et al. (NEJM 251;27,2004) reported on the results of the Oncotype DX assay (Genomic Health). In that study of 250 potential candidate genes, the authors found 21 genes to be related to risk of recurrence in breast cancer patients. The study was designed to validate a previously established 21-gene RT-PCR assay. This assay is used as part of a recurrence score (RS) algorithm for node-negative, estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer patients who had been treated with Tamoxifen in the NSABP trial B-14. The results demonstrated that patients could be categorized as having a low, intermediate, or high risk for recurrence based on the RS resulting from this assay. The authors suggested that the RS can then be used to better select patients to receive chemotherapy, i.e.: to give chemotherapy to patients who have a sufficiently high risk of recurrence.
The present study examines 384 genes to determine whether any are associated with improved response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer. The authors sought to determine whether a specific group of genes correlate with response to neoadjuvant doxorubicin and paclitaxel. These genes were then assessed in a separate cohort of patients to determine their response-discriminating value.
In the last few years, several papers have been published seeking a specific gene set that will predict for outcome or response to therapy in cancer patients. The Oncotype DX assay was tested in over 400 patients from three different populations, and further validated in the study referenced above. The current study is hypothesis- generating, but it is still too early to tell whether a subset of the 86 original genes is predictive for pathologic response. The original model was tested in 89 patients, of whom only 12% had a pCR. The authors state that with this low number, they would expect a 22% false discovery rate when testing 384 genes. It is encouraging that many of the genes also predicted for pCR in the MDACC cohort, and that the direction of effect was the same in all cases. The concept of choosing specific chemotherapy, or whether or not to give chemotherapy, based on certain genetic profiles is very interesting, and we will await further validation of this study in additional patient populations to determine its clinical applicability.
May 18, 2012 - From 2006 to 2008, the use of gene expression profile testing increased, correlating with a decrease in the percentage of women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer receiving adjuvant chemotherapy, according to a study published online May 14 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

I'm not even a Tau player, and even I'm glad for the new Tau release. They're finally not only viable but one of the most tactically versatile armies around. If you've ever been interested in them, now's the time to pick up the game (though, I'd recommend buying everything you can from ebay. Fuck GW and its extortionate prices).

Why? It's a pretty terrible codex. About half the units in it are worse than useless and most of them were given a price increase and a statistical decrease. The only new things in the book are either horribly overpriced or just kinda meh. It's basically Wave Serpent Spam: Son of Wave Serpent Spam.

Fellguarde wrote:Oh, sure, shuriken spam is great, but I'm not a fan of codices that offer one or two good builds and lots of chaff. It's the mark of a good codex when everything in the book is useful. Pretty much all Eldar armies are going to look the same for this edition (i.e. 2-3 spiritseers, guardians/dire avengers, wraithguard, wave serpents). Basically anything that doesn't have a shuriken rifle or a distortion weapon isn't worth taking.
Course, this build is a fucking nightmare for anyone with small, armoured forces or lots of expensive multi-wound units.

While talking with a friend in a bar a few weeks ago, he made the joke "if we aren't supposed to drink and drive, why do bars have such large parking lots?" and it got this reply from me "if drinking and driving is such a problem, why don't we have random operation pull-overs at all exits or random bars?". This simple statement ignited a very colorful and humorous discussion with about thirty people throughout the night, and most of the understandable and respectable comments were to the effect of "I would call a cab, not drink, or have someone else drive".
Seriously if I was still a drinker and I knew there was a chance that the P.D. had set up a check point when I was in the bar, and I knew that it could and would happen at any bar, I either wouldn't drink in the first place or would have a D.D.
Now my obvious question is why don't we do this?

Ultracompact megazoom cameras compared
Zoom lenses sell cameras these days, so it's no surprise that manufacturers are doing everything they can to get longer lenses into increasingly smaller bodies.
A 3x or 5x zoom lens used to be the standard for ultracompact cameras -- those measuring 1 inch thick or slimmer -- but in 2012, you can easily find a skinny point-and-shoot with a 10x optical zoom.
The frontrunner here is the sub-$250 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX150 thanks to its excellent features, fast autofocus, and the quality of its pictures and video (though its color accuracy could be better). Most of the category consists of sub-$200 cameras, though, so there are several options if you're just looking for a simple pocket camera with a long lens.… Read more

Andover - Parking Lots
From Andover Answers
There are large town parking lots located on Barnard and Main Streets, Main Street at Olde Andover Village, and Memorial Hall Library at 2 North Main Street. The Barnard and Olde Andover lots are "pay and display," which was a controversial change from meters. The Memorial Hall Library lot is still metered.
A parking lot for municipal employees was created on Pearson Street in 2011. The 19th century house formerly located on the site at 16 Pearson Street was purchased by Peter and Shirley Schwarz for $9,088. They relocated the historic building to 1 Shaw Drive to make way for the lot. It is the third home the Schwarzes are renovating.

How much more likely is a person with a family history of breast cancer to get it than the rest of the population?
Gary Freedman, MD, Radiation Oncologist at Penn , responds:
In general, a woman in the United States has an approximate 1 in 9 chance of developing breast cancer by the age of 80.
A family history in a first degree (mom, sister) relative may be associated with a mild increase in risk, say 2 in 9.
A family history associated with a known genetic marker for breast cancer can be associated with very high rates of breast cancer. Usually, a woman with a family history can be evaluated by a genetic testing / risk assessment clinic at a local cancer center to determine if she should have genetic testing.
There is a great website available through the National Cancer Institute where a woman over age 35 can answer a 8-10 simple questions and get a statistic on her risk of cancer in the next 5 years and over her lifetime. The questions are about age, family history, prior biopsies, etc. Search on the web for "Gail Model" and the page at the National Cancer Institute website should come up.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat. Series, View the Life After Breast Cancer transcript.
Nov 30, 2010 - Women with a personal history of breast cancer may benefit from annual magnetic resonance imaging screening in addition to mammography, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, held from Nov. 28 to Dec. 3 in Chicago.

An integral part of deciding which college you want to attend is to see if it is a good fit. Going on a college visit can help you determine if a school is the right place for you. We understand that visiting colleges may not be possible for everyone, but it can be extremely helpful when making your final selection. With Explore Butler visits happening every Monday through Saturday and Junior Preview Days just around the corner, we've complied a list of the "Top 10 Reasons to Visit Butler University":
- You get to actually see our beautiful campus firsthand. Pictures and videos are cool, but there's nothing quite like experiencing it for yourself.
- Butler is home to historic Hinkle Fieldhouse. The fieldhouse has reigned as one of the nation's great sports arenas for more than six decades. This classic facility was constructed in 1928 and was the nation's largest basketball arena at that time. The legendary building has stood the test of time, maintaining the splendor, character, and atmosphere that made it one of the nation's most famous basketball arenas nearly a century ago. Hinkle Fieldhouse is also home to the Milan Miracle, the memorable 1954 victory of tiny Milan High School over the much larger Muncie Central. The film Hoosiers, loosely based on that event, used Hinkle Fieldhouse when filming the climactic game of the popular movie.

Come explore new models of
for the
undergraduate classroom.
An introductory undergraduate class may be the only exposure many students have to the sciences. It can be the best opportunity to interest students in scientific research and careers in the sciences.

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the National Academies invite college and university faculty and instructional staff to develop teaching skills at five-day workshops to transform the undergraduate classroom. The Summer Institutes on Undergraduate Education model the scientific teaching principles they teach. They draw on the expertise of participants and presenters. Current research, active learning, assessment, and diversity are woven into the week, creating a forum to share ideas and develop innovative instructional materials to be implemented upon returning home.
The institutes emerged from the 2003 National Research Council report, Bio2010: Transforming Undergraduate Education for Future Research Biologists. The report concludes that faculty development is a crucial component of improving undergraduate education. It recommends that universities provide faculty with opportunities to refine classroom techniques and better integrate math and physical sciences concepts into biology instruction. The summer institutes bring science faculty and instructional staff together to improve education by integrating current scientific research and pedagogical approaches to create courses that actively engage students in the ways that scientists think. The summer institutes provide venues for college and university faculty and instructional staff to meet for intensive discussions, demonstrations, and working sessions on research-based approaches to undergraduate education. The idea is to create the same atmosphere as a Cold Spring Harbor research course, but instead of a course topic on phage genetics, for example, the focus is on teaching biology. The institutes serve a growing variety of colleges and universities across the country.
In its call for new directions and transformation in teaching the biological
sciences, the 2011 report produced by the American Association for the
Advancement of Science and the National Science Foundation, Vision and Change
in Undergraduate Biology Education, repeatedly cites the Summer Institutes and
scientific teaching as models for improving undergraduate biology education.

by Kristen Schaub Revolutionary ultra-slim speaker for today's flat-panel TVs For years, TVs have gotten thinner and thinner and so has the sound of their built-in speakers. Finally, here's a super-slim speaker from Definitive Technology that'll truly match the look of that state-of-the-art HDTV in your living room, while still delivering high-performance sound. The versatile Mythos XTR-50 can be used as a left, right, and center channel speakers in a home theater setup, and at only 1-1/2" deep, it'll look right at home mounted on your wall. You'll be amazed when you hear the rich, realistic sound and wide soundstage that this super-thin speaker can produce. No wonder it won the CES Best of Innovations 2010 award in the High Performance Audio category. State-of-the-art driver design for impressively accurate sound The ultra-shallow drivers are carefully designed to produce surprisingly big sound. Using precise computer modeling and years of design experience, Definitive created incredibly thin, space-efficient "XTDD" drivers. These shallow drivers optimize every part of the speaker surface to maintain a high level of performance. The XTR-50 uses two 3-1/2" XTDD drivers, each one pressure-coupled to two low-bass radiators, for big sound from a total of six dome woofers. And at the center of the baffle is the same pure aluminum dome tweeter used in Definitive's flagship Mythos ST SuperTower® speakers. It produces extended highs, revealing nuance and shimmer without a trace of edginess. Flexible placement options With a depth of only 1-1/2", this slim speaker looks great next to a flat-panel TV. The Mythos XTR-50 comes with a wall-mounting bracket that allows for either vertical or horizontal placement, with a total installation depth of just 1-5/8 inches. It also comes with an attractive smoked-glass stand that lets you place it on a shelf or entertainment stand. The specially shaped enclosure is made of black hand-polished aluminum, and uses stiffing ribs and channels to make it rigid and resonance-free. Building a system Put together a complete home theater system using XTR-50 speakers for your front three channels. Add on Definitive's Mythos Gem or Mythos Gem XL surround speakers for wraparound sound. For high-impact bass you'll need a subwoofer like the ProSub 1000 or SuperCube III. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center. Shop our selection of speaker wire. Did you know? Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That's because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality.

Definitive Technology Mythos XTR®-50 Wallspeaker Written By Angela, Miami,Fl on Friday, February 18, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased 2 of the XTR50 speakers to go on both sides of my flat screen TV and not only are the speakers perect for mounting but the sound and the clearness of them are excellent. Granted they are very costly but after hearing it and the the look of the set up, I am very pleased. The speakers come with very nice stands or a template to mount with the mounting bracket. Instalation was very easy. Only wish they could of made them wireless as it is hard to hide wires, especially after Tv has been installed. Overall the speakers are the best quality ive heard so far and along with the subwoofer cubes, you cant get a better sound.

ZŌN Air Purifier to Appear at NeoCon East 2011
Humanscale Utilizes World's Most Effective Air Purifying Technology
Karen Brooking
BALTIMORE, November 2, 2011 — Humanscale takes on the indoor air crisis with one of its latest innovations: a high-performance air purifier that features the most effective air purifying technology in the world. The ZŌN personal air purifier utilizes exciting new technology that is poised to set a new bar for air purification.
The Environmental Protection Agency has identified indoor air quality as one of the top five most urgent environmental risks to public health, and data shows a clear link between health and the air people breathe. The American Lung Association says asthma and breathing problems account for approximately 24.5 million missed work days each year and that half of the U.S. population is breathing unhealthy amounts of air pollution.
Current air purifiers fail to address this air crisis adequately. Designed to clean entire rooms by re-circulating clean air, most air purifiers are ineffective in the large spaces where the volume of air is too large to clean effectively with portable units. Adding HEPA-quality filtration to HVAC units is extremely costly and inefficient, and HEPA-based products are noisy and require frequent and expensive filter replacement. In addition, traditional electrostatic precipitator devices are inefficient and produce excessive ozone, a toxic gas that can harm the lungs.
ZŌN employs patented technology to provide clean air to users in an entirely new way. It directs clean air to exactly where it's needed: where the user breathes. Since research indicates that most people spend their time indoors in a single area, creating a targeted 'Clean Air Zone' around each user is by far the most effective and efficient way to deliver clean air.
Removing more than 99% of airborne toxins and contaminants, ZŌN utilizes a tightly coiled paper filter that has more surface area for collecting dust and particles than any other air purification method. And best of all, when the paper filter becomes saturated, it can be easily vacuumed clean and re-used or recycled with other paper products.
Committed to sustainability, ZŌN consumes just 23 watts of power while producing a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 115—making it 2.5 times more efficient than Energy Star requirements. Plus, ZŌN's breeze-free, ozone-free and virtually silent operation allows it to be placed discretely near the users—such as on desks or bedside tables—to ensure that they are breathing the cleanest possible air.
Available in three sleek finishes: Black, White and Metallic Red, the ZŌN personal air purifier will be on display at the NeoCon East 2011.

2. Mix-up the 2½" squares and lay them out into 9 sets of 9 squares. Sew each set of squares into 3 rows of 3 squares each using a scant ¼" seam allowance.
3. Press the seams toward the outside on the top and bottom row. Press the seams toward the inside square on the middle row. This will help in matching up all those little square points.
4. Sew 9-patch rows together. Seams pressed to opposite sides will butt up against each other, matching the square points at the corners.
6. Press from the front. Here is what the pressed back will look like. Make 8 more blocks using the same method.
7. From sashing fabric cut 5 strips 1¾" wide x the width of the fabric. From one of those strips, sub cut into (6) 1¾" x 6½" pieces. Sew strips between the 3 sets of 3 nine-patch blocks. Press seams toward the sashing strips.
8. From 2 of the remaining sashing strips carefully cut (2) 1¾" x 21" sashing strips. (If you cut carefully, you should be able to get (2) 21" strips out of a 1¾" x width-of-fabric strip.) Cutting the sashing to the correct size, rather than just sewing it on and trimming the end, will help your mini quilt stay square. Pin the strips to the the sets of 3 blocks. Find the center of your strip (10½") and the center of your set of blocks. Pin at the center point and then pin at either end of the strip/set of blocks. Then evenly space the rest of the pins along the edge to be sewn. (If you need help visualizing this technique, go here and scroll down to the part about pinning.)
9. Sew sashing strips as shown at the top and bottom and between the three rows. Press toward the sashing.
11. After carefully pressing quilt top and backing fabric (use at least a 25" square piece of backing") pin-baste the back, batting, and quilt top together. (For more on quilt basting go here.)
Cute little quilt!

I've been reminded recently how precious life really is and how important children are to many people. Some of you may have read this on my other blog, but this is an update of sorts too. After posting the original two-and-a-half years ago, another woman in our area has decided to become a surrogate mother and help a couple bring a child into this world. That is awesome. Now, here's our story.
My wife Lisa and I have been blessed with three (relatively) happy and healthy children. With the exception of a blighted ovum, all of Lisa�s pregnancies have been wonderful experiences. I know that is not the case for everyone. We have friends and family members who have and continue to struggle with infertility. In fact, that�s how we ended up where we are today.
In 2005, our daughter (and third child) was born. Lisa and I both wanted a third baby, and I was quite honestly hoping for a baby girl. My wish was granted. After that, we both felt like our family was truly complete. About 18 months later I got a vasectomy to �seal the deal� among other things. All the while, Lisa and I had talked about her one day carrying a child for another couple.
At first, I thought it was simply talk and it wouldn�t go much further than that. In the fall of 2007 Lisa had contacted an agency in the Chicago area that matches woman who want to be surrogates with couples looking to have a baby. We met with the woman who runs the agency in St. Louis on a Friday night in October. By November, we were meeting a couple looking to have a child.
I�ve blogged about that experience in the past. So here�s the Cliff�s notes version. Lisa carried and delivered a healthy baby boy in January 2009, providing that couple with a second child. This little one has no biological connection to Lisa. She was �just the oven�, as we explained it to our kids.
Because she has had four successful, problem free pregnancies, Lisa was sure she wanted to do another surrogacy. Besides providing a couple with a child, the compensation for doing so is a bonus, I�m not going to lie.
Once she made the decision to carry again official, the agency contacted Lisa about another couple that was eager to meet us (yes, I�m part of the equation too, however I pretty much just sit back and help when I�m needed) Anyway, in April 2009 we met the couple for lunch in Springfield, the half point for each of us. Immediately we knew these people were loving and caring and wanted so much to be a mommy and a daddy. They must have liked us too, because Lisa still had a couple of months before the doctor would even clear her for the transfer and they wanted her to be their �belly mama.�
The process itself is quite complex. The surrogate (and her husband) speak with a psychologist, so do the IPs (intended parents). Then there�s a battery of blood work and other tests that are run to make sure everyone (even the �belly daddy�) are healthy. Because the couple in this case lives up north, this required travel to Chicago for the transfer and testings.
The first transfer this time around was not successful. It broke our hearts (yes, I�m invested emotionally in this too) to tell the IPs that Lisa wasn�t pregnant. But everyone in this process was determined, and a short time later doctors did another transfer. And this time it worked! Very well, I might add. Lisa was carrying twins. Soon this wonderful couple would be blessed with two bundles of joy.
Again, Lisa�s pregnancy was going well. The twins had nice, strong heartbeats and were active. Things were pretty much flawless until about 30 weeks into the pregnancy. Baby boy apparently wasn�t content with where he was sitting and decided to do some moving around. Little did we know at the time, but that�s the move that sent Lisa into labor.
She was about 9 1/2 weeks (cue the Mickey Rourke jokes) out from delivering, but these babies didn�t seem to care. Also, the IPs were bound for Europe when I called and told them Lisa was at the hospital, but the doctor said it could be weeks before the babies arrived. Long story short, 3 1/2 hours later, the babies were here.
Lisa delivered via C section, something new for her. I was in there with her and can�t tell you how good it was to hear baby boy come out screaming and crying. A minute or two later, his sister arrived, but she wasn�t making any noise. That worried me, but in a matter of seconds, she too was crying.
The IPs landed in London, and literally turned around and got back on a plane for another 8 hour flight. They arrived safely and have been enjoying their babies ever since. The twins are still in NICU, but they are getting stronger every day.
: Both families remain in contact with us. The first family still sends flowers on each birthday of their child. We just got the four year bouquet a couple of weeks ago. We also get a Christmas
arrangement from the second family and photos of their family each year.
I am so very proud of my wife. Over the course of 18 months she provided two wonderful families with three children, and her sacrifices have also helped our family. I love her.

Joint fluid Gram stain is a laboratory test to identify bacteria in a sample of joint fluid using a special series of stains (colors). The Gram stain method is one of the most commonly used methods to rapidly diagnose bacterial infections.
Gram stain of joint fluid
A sample of joint fluid is needed. For information on how this procedure is done, see joint fluid aspiration .
The fluid sample is sent to a lab where a small drop is placed in a very thin layer onto a microscope slide. This is called a smear. Several different colored stains are applied to the sample. The laboratory personnel will look at the stained smear under a microscope to see if bacteria are present. The color, size, and shape of the cells help identify the bacteria.
For information on how to prepare for the removal of joint fluid, see joint fluid aspiration .
For information on how it will feel when the joint fluid is removed, see joint fluid aspiration .
The test is performed when there is unexplained swelling, joint pain , and inflammation of a joint, or to check for suspected joint infection.
A normal result means no bacteria are present on the Gram stain.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Abnormal results mean bacteria were seen on the Gram stain. This may be a sign of a joint infection, for example, gonococcal arthritis or arthritis due to Staphylococcus aureus.
There is no risk to the patient associated with a Gram stain. For information regarding risks related to the removal of joint fluid, see joint fluid aspiration .

When is the best time to Tweet? Twitter vs. Time
The Twittersphere or Twitterverse grows at an incredible rate and has been a surprise to many. Love it, hate it or be confused by it, Twitter has claimed its place in society and the history books alongside some of the most memorable planned and unplanned events capturing the sentiment and imagination of towns, cities, countries around the world.
There's no doubt Twitter has captured the imagination if countless people and the media. So, how much time do we spend Tweeting and what impact is Twitter really having upon us? Lemon.ly has created a Twitter vs. Time infographic from January up until to September 2011 that unearths some interesting data. It's a great look at some statistics on Twitter and how people use it and in doing so, has created a visualisation of the 'battle of Twitter vs. Time', pulling out statistics such as:
- Tweet activity per day
- Tweets per second
- Top five Tweets per second
- Percent of tweet per day
- Number of tweets per day
- How many Twitter accounts are created a day
With Twitter changing up its game, pulling up those commercial slacks and putting its business hat on (opening up London offices, acquiring services it should of created etcetera), it will be interesting how the these statistics may play out and change. Undoubtedly, this infographic will serve for many to try and learn when is the best time to Tweet, which will vary for a number of reasons.
There's no doubt we'll return to the topic of Twitter in due course For now, let the battle commence.

NEW YORK — At around 11 a.m. Thursday, new Newsweek-Daily Beast chief executive officer Baba Shetty convened his first company-wide meeting at the magazine's High Line headquarters. Editor in chief Tina Brown was by his side.
Earlier that morning, Brown told staff in a memo that Newsweek would publish 10 more issues before it abandons print on Dec. 31, the latest magazine to bet on a less-lucrative and so-far-unproven future strictly online. Newsweek Global is the name of the new, paid-subscription outfit.
The meeting was supposed to soothe the nerves of the 270-strong staff; the memo mentioned staff reductions. "We wish to reassure you the transition is well planned," Brown wrote. Bagels and muffins were served. Lunch, staffers were told, was on the house.
Instead they left with more questions. Where will the layoffs come from? What departments would get hit, production or editorial? For an already streamlined staff that works at a breakneck pace to feed both a weekly magazine and a 24-hour Web site, sometimes staying late into the night to work on stories, it was hard to see where more cuts could be made.
Brown and Shetty didn't specify the number of layoffs, nor when they would come.
"This was an unexpected way to meet everyone for the first time," Shetty said, according to a source.
Brown was empathetic, but short on clarification.
"It was all boilerplate," the source said. "Nobody really knows what's going to happen. Some people know they're safe, but, for others, it's a question mark." Later, a spokesman declined to go into specifics about layoffs.
Among publishers, the reaction was skeptical as to the implications for the rest of the industry. Newsweek, for instance, doesn't have the economies of scale of a Condé Nast, Hearst or Bloomberg LP, which can sell advertising among many brands and combine printing costs. And seemingly, the print magazine had lost the support of owner IAC/InterActiveCorp., which is not the case at other publishers.
Print remains "a huge and powerful component" of business, said Condé president Bob Sauerberg.
"The digital business is increasingly more scalable," he said. But, "I have a solid magazine, a solid Web and mobile business. These things are all additive."
For readers, Newsweek was one of many choices at the checkout counter and online, and increasingly, after a controversial summer, it had even begun to lose the credibility that had long defined it, contended Bloomberg BusinessWeek editor in chief Josh Tyrangiel.
"At a certain point, you're already saying, 'Is this really the best version of this thing?'" he said.
While Time magazine invented the newsweekly genre, Newsweek, joining the scene in 1933, was a serious competitor through several decades, especially in its coverage of the Civil Rights Movement and Women's Lib.
The Washington Post Co. bought Newsweek in 1961, but over the years it lost readers and relevance, as did other newsweeklies, to the Web. In 2008, stereo and FM radio magnate Sidney Harman bought it and two years later merged it with the Daily Beast, which Brown had launched with IAC chairman Barry Diller.
The Daily Beast was supposed to "power the resurgence of Newsweek," Brown told The New York Times at the time, and, in turn, the striving Web site would get credibility and a ready audience of over one million print subscribers.
Over two years, Brown tried every spell in her bag of tricks to turbo-charge the magazine — a redesign, high-profile hires, sensationalistic covers, sexually suggestive produce, even missives from her own pen.
Since she took over, print subscriptions have increased about 3 percent, according to the magazine. And in August, the Daily Beast had 6.6 million uniques, its biggest traffic ever, according to comScore.

Episode Information
So I teach one college class a year, at Trinity College. And one the first night, ever year, I tell them that I'm not a real professor and that therefore I am not wedded to the idea that there has to be a course taught by me and that people have to take it. It's not a default setting.
And I tell them that, every year, what I decide is that there's no point in my teaching a course unless I can make them better citizens and better critical thinkers. Jefferson said the purpose of public education was the make average people better able to safeguard their liberties against the depredations of tyrants. Works for me! And then on the last night of the course, I remind them about the first night. If heads nod, if they understand why they're better citizens, it's a win.
UCONN professor Gaye Tuchman has written a book that explains how grotesquely out of step with modern college realities that whole notion is. Universities make money and train workers. Who knew?
Listener E-mail from Jennifer
Listener E-mail from Jay
I was able to listen to only a few minutes of your show today, but the document at the URL above is directly pertinent to your topic. Perhaps you have not seen it; perhaps it was what sparked the theme of your show.
It is a letter to Queen Elizabeth from some economists, saying that the economic meltdown is due in part to economists being merely trained in recent decades, and not educated.
In case you have not seen it, I pass it to you now.
Listener E-mail from Karl
Speaking of "teaching to the test", I hope my favorite "adequately bright" host has been reading Washington Monthly's annual articles about how the USNews (&WR) College Rankings are skewed and how the schools included play with certain policies in order to look better numerically.
I don't care, directly. No kids. But, in another way, when belt-tightening is the proclaimed order of the day (since, about, ever), such efforts from colls and univs take time, money, and don't change anything for the better.
Your guest was written about here:
One might think about this academic ranking the way your Sports A Trois cohosts would discuss football rankings: Lew Perkins made the conscious decision to get the Huskies into Div 1-A football in a big, 40k-seat stadium manner. But does any public U get to opt out of playing the ranking game without looking like they're trying and failing?
Karl in Bloomfield
PS Anything you want to say about the deterioration in California's higher-ed system, which ~40 years ago was the envy of the country and kept the kids there and made them middle class, I'd like to hear.

The Salvation Army Responds to Devastation in Japan 12/03/2011
The Salvation Army Responds to Devastation in Japan
Monetary Donations Encouraged
Japan - Early Friday morning, a tsunami slammed Japan's eastern coast following a large earthquake which rocked the region. Early reports indicate extensive damage to property and significant loss of life.
The Salvation Army personnel are assessing the damage and initiating recovery efforts. Word has been received from Japan's Territorial Commander, Commissioner Makoto Yoshida. The Commissioner writes,
"It is reported that there are more than 60 dead confirmed so far and many more missing. The number of houses destroyed are not yet known.
The most damaged city is Sendai which is about 400 km away from Tokyo. Still our building swayed tremendously. It was hard for us to keep standing. Many of us were really frightened.
We are sending a team to Sendai tonight and start tomorrow providing the basic necessities as well as assessing the level of damages and what we can do from now on.
Even in Tokyo the whole public transports stopped and many a commuters could not go home. We opened our hall on the ground floor of THQ building to those who could not go home. We were able to serve them with hot drinks and packed meals.
Thank you for your interest and prayers."
Currently, those interested in aiding the relief effort are encouraged to give monetary donations. Monetary funds offer great flexibility and enable local disaster responders to purchase exactly what is needed as close to the disaster zone as possible.
There are four ways people can contribute money to The Salvation Army's disaster relief efforts in Japan:
- Text the words "Japan" or "Quake" to 80888 to make a $10 donation.
- By phone: 1-800-SAL-ARMY
- On-line at: www.disaster.salvationarmyusa.org.
- By mail: Send your check, marked "Japan earthquake relief" to
The Salvation Army World Service Office
International Relief Fund
PO Box 630728
Baltimore, MD 21263-07280
At this time, The Salvation Army is not accepting in-kind donations from the general public for disaster relief operations in Japan.
Bear in mind, it will be extremely difficult and expensive to ship in-kind donations overseas from the United States to Japan. It is more efficient for disaster relief agencies to purchase needed resources locally and for immediate distribution with the disaster area. The best way for U.S. donors to help Japanese disaster survivors is to make a cash donation. Please note that your local The Salvation Army continues to accept donations of used clothing, furniture and other items to support local programming. Please consider donating your used items to your local Salvation Army Thrift Store.
Since 1895, The Salvation Army has provided emotional, spiritual, and physical care to individuals and families in need throughout Japan. Currently, 81 active officers and 1,068 employees operate 57 church and community centers (Corps), 12 small social service stations (outposts), 2 hospitals, and more than 20 institutions serving children, seniors, the addicted, and other at-risk populations. Due to the Army's extensive presence, it is unlikely that volunteers from the United States will be needed for initial recovery operations.
About The Salvation Army
The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church established in 1865, has been supporting those in need in His name without discrimination for 130 years in the United States. Nearly 30 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services that range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless and opportunities for underprivileged children. 82 cents of every dollar spent is used to carry out those services in 5,000 communities nationwide. For more information, go to www.salvationarmyusa.org.

The RBC urine test measures the number of red blood cells in a urine sample.
Red blood cells in urine; Hematuria test; Urine - red blood cells
A random sample of urine is collected. Random means that the sample is collected at any time either at the lab or at home. If needed, the health care provider may ask you to collect your urine at home over 24 hours . Your provider will tell you how to do this.
A clean-catch urine sample is needed. The clean-catch method is used to prevent germs from the penis or vagina from getting into a urine sample. To collect your urine, the health care provider may give you a special clean-catch kit that contains a cleansing solution and sterile wipes. Follow instructions exactly so that the results are accurate.
No special preparation is necessary for this test.
The test involves only normal urination. There is no discomfort.
This test is done as part of a urinalysis test .
A normal result is 4 RBC/HPF (red blood cells per high power field) or less when the sample is examined under a microscope.
The example above is a common measurement for a result of this test. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test result.
Higher than normal number of red blood cells in the urine may be due to:
