Doctors Lukewarm About New FDA-Approved Cholesterol Lowering Drug
By Stacey Singer
Cholesterol lowering drugs are lifesavers if you need them. They can give you another decade, argues Dr. Dennis Bowsher, a cardiologist affiliated with Boca Raton Community Hospital.
"These are marvelous drugs. These drugs prevent future heart attacks," Bowsher said.
But do patients really need another cholesterol-lowering choice? Whether they need it or not, they've got one.
This week the U.S. Food and Drug administration approved Livalo, also known as pitavastatin, manufactured by Kowa Pharmaceuticals America Inc. of Montgomery, Ala.
Bowsher, who is a board-certified clinical pharmacologist, said it works as intensely as Crestor, using a mechanism similar to the gentler Lescol.
None of them are approved for prevention of stroke, as Lipitor is, Bowsher said. He said people on Coumadin should probably not take Livalo, because it could affect blood levels.
Given that all of the statins have the potential to cause a rare muscle wasting condition, Bowsher said he's inclined to be cautious before he tries prescribing the new drug.
One statin, Baycol, was withdrawn from the market because of the severity of muscle complications.
Cardiologist Dr. Lawrence Weinstein, who practices at Delray Medical Center, agreed with Bowsher.
"Because you have so many excellent products, with the addition of this new product, I'd like to take a wait and see attitude," Weinstein said. He wants more outcome and safety data.
He's partial to Lipitor and Crestor for his patients.
"If your doctor says take cholesterol medication, take it," Weinstein said. "But on this particular medication I would wait."

Crouse Docs Rap to Halt HAC
The background music comes from a whiny synthesizer. The setting, which looks like a parking lot, is fake.
Lebowitz, 54, an internist specializing in endocrinology, confesses that he sees himself as a "middle-aged Jewish rapper. I like to write raps, like for parties or anniversaries."
So he cajoled two colleagues, Crouse's senior surgical quality director who is a retired surgeon, Dennis Brown, MD, 71, and Crouse's infection control medical director, Waleed Javaid, MD, 38 to get in on the act. They donned sunglasses, special Germinator t-shirts, bling, (cardboard wrapped with foil) and joined him.
They came on board without much persuasion.
They made a HAC video and put it on YouTube to show the entire staff. And they had some fun with a very serious subject.
Lebowitz and Javaid play HACs, and Brown is clostridium difficile, or "C-diff colitis."
Todd Olrich, 31, a certified medsurge nurse specialist, plays MRSA, or methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus. And David Martin, 48, an infection prevention nurse, plays a CAUTI, catheter-associated urinary tract infection.
Lebowitz says he understands that hospital staff know how to prevent infections and adverse events, but sometimes they just forget to do every step.
"We know we have the technical components to reduce infections, but more important is engaging people to actually want to do it," he says.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Bart Windrum (1/10/2013 at 4:00 PM)
I can't help but take the opportunity to piggyback on this and hope that rapping outweighs any small potential for self-aggrandizement! Because I developed an end of life reform rap recently, premiered it at an Ignite Denver talk, and just released a studio audio track of it, en route to making a video. The audio to Windrum's Never Say Die Rap is linked at www.AxiomAction.com/audio-rap-track .

Capital Turf Management has found a good revenue stream in treating roads.
The extreme winter weather that's been hitting the Northeast U.S. region in recent years has often made it tough for plows to clear the roads effectively. Yet that has led to a profitable side business for Capital Turf Management in Huntingdon Valley, Pa.
"If there's a storm, cities and towns will call us in to pre-treat the roadways," says Andrew Adams, president of Capital Turf Management, which has offices in Pennsylvania and Maryland and 12 full-time employees.
"We have a truck with a modified boom arm, and we use that to apply a combination of salt and magnesium calcium," Adams says. "We will put lines in the roadway, and when temperatures get to a certain level, that helps to melt the snow."
Perhaps the best part is that Capital gets paid for the service whether it snows or not, unlike plowing businesses that are dependent upon the snowfall an area receives.
"It's a crapshoot for people," Adams says. "We'll get a call and do it, and if it turns into rain, then we still get paid."
Adams believes that add-on services such as this one, if they are properly thought out and managed, can be very profitable for landscape companies. "As much competition as there is, it's not a bad idea to diversify a little bit," he says. "As long as you stay focused on your main thing and it doesn't take away from what you know best."
The company has made five acquisitions this year.
The sudden death of Brian Akehurst, president of Akehurst Landscape Service, results in the election of a new leader.
Green Pest Services joins Massey's portfolio.
The rules may be changing when it comes to leasing snow equipment.
Developing long-term relationships with contractor partners helps snow businesses expand and accommodate challenging service schedules.

Is more legal aid funding needed to help those people who can't afford a lawyer?
- 5:30 am Thursday, June 19th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
The demand among the state's poor for legal services aid has grown exponentially the last several years, and shows little sign of abating. That fact has sparked a very public fight within the 99,000-member Florida Bar about how to pay for it.
A group of 500-plus attorneys — including former Bar presidents and state Supreme Court justices — filed a 27-page petition Monday with the state's high court asking that it allow the Florida Bar to tack on another $100 to its annual membership fees to help fund the demand for free legal services for the poor. For various reasons, the [More]
Can parents trust summer camps to background their staff?
- 5:30 am Monday, June 2nd, 2014 by Opinion Staff
Florida remains one of just five states nationwide that doesn't license summer camps, according to data kept by the American Camp Association.
Two years after a Palm Beach Post investigation found 170 youth programs in Florida run by sex offenders and other criminals, the state still has not licensed camps and says it can't easily verify that summer camp workers have undergone mandatory criminal background checks.
It's troubling fact that pedophiles are drawn to jobs that put them in touch with children, and that Florida is a magnet for people with that predilection.

Should Gov. Scott make more diverse appointments to judgeships?
- 6:00 am Thursday, May 29th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
A special task force of the Florida Bar pushing for more diversity in the state's judiciary has finally released the results of its work. And it's not good.
The 22-page report, which focuses heavily on the state's influential judicial nominating commissions (JNCs), highlights the ongoing lack of diversity among Florida judges and, its little-known nominating commissions. The latter, by the way, play a key role in the courts make-up because they propose judicial candidates to Gov. Rick Scott, who then makes appointments.
So far, those appointments — or lack of appointments — have been woeful during Scott's term as governor at diversifying [More]
Should Gov. Scott sign two bills expanding fetal rights and restricting abortion access?

How do you feel about the latest bills expanding fetal rights and restricting abortion access after about the 20 th week of gestation? Should Scott sign the bills into law?
Do we still need affirmative action?
- 6:00 am Sunday, April 27th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
Last week, the Supreme Court dealt another blow to affirmative action, upholding the decision of Michigan voters — and by implication similar bans in seven other states, including Florida — to forbid the use of race as a factor in deciding who is admitted to state universities.
In a 6-2 ruling, the court brushed aside claims that such bans amount to discrimination against minorities, ending constitutional challenges to the state ballot measures.
The states that have prohibited affirmative action at public colleges and universities have generally experienced similar results: The percentage of African-American and Latino students at the most selective campuses has [More]
Should juvenile murders be sentenced to life with no chance of parole?
- 9:45 am Friday, April 11th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
Florida Senate leaders want to pass a bill to bring the state into compliance with U.S. Supreme Court rulings that prohibit life sentences for juveniles without parole unless certain conditions are met. That's good.
The bill (SB 384) proposed by Sen. Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island, that legislators are expected to vote on today, however, would set those sentencing guidelines with no chance for review for a juvenile convicted of murder. That's bad.
State legislators have been grappling with this issue for years. They're in a hurry to do something before the Florida Supreme Court creates further case law by ruling on pending [More]
Are PBSO deputies too quick to shoot?

Did Anesson Joseph have to die? That is the question Joseph's family is asking after a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy shot him dead in suburban Delray Beach on Feb. 4 after he attacked two people and sent them to the hospital.
Unfortunately, it's a question too many families of mentally ill individuals and substance abusers killed by law enforcement are left asking. And too often law enforcement responds that officers had no choice. They were forced to make split second decisions.
That was the answer from the Sheriff's Office when a deputy shot and killed Joseph, who was naked, unarmed and [More]
Does Timothy McCabe deserve to call himself a victim?
- 11:59 pm Saturday, January 11th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
Palm Beach County's version of Bernie Madoff is blaming others for some of his problems.
Timothy McCabe was a respected Lake Worth attorney until April of last year, when he disappeared, having sent emails hinting at Madoff-like financial schemes, though in smaller amounts. Two months later, McCabe turned himself in to the FBI, and since has pleaded guilty to five counts of financial fraud that include running a Ponzi scheme.
He has acknowledged the loss of $7.1 million of his former clients' money in schemes that began in 2009.
As The Post reported, though, last month in court papers McCabe blamed two of [More]
Should Florida allow an undocumented immigrant to practice law?
- 4:05 pm Saturday, January 4th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
On Thursday, the California Supreme Court unanimously agreed to grant a law license to Sergio Garcia, a 36-year-old man whose parents brought him to this country from Mexico as a young boy and who does not have legal status. The decision surely raised hopes for supporters of a Florida man in the same situation.
Jose Manuel Godinez-Samperio's parents came here from Mexico on a tourist visa when he was 9. Like many of America's undocumented, the mother and father entered legally but overstayed their visa.
Mr. Godinez-Samperio went on to become an Eagle Scout and high school class valedictorian, and to obtain [More]

THE MOUNTAIN HAS LABORED AND BROUGHT FORTH A MOUSE: At least if this report from the Post is true: No Rove indictment, and only a lame False Statements Act charge against Libby, which wouldn't even relate to the underlying issue. This will be a blue Fitzmas for some people if it works out that way, but it's too early to be sure that these reports are correct.
More here. And Roger Simon has related thoughts here.
UPDATE: Okay, the indictment is out and it's more like a large rabbit:
Libby was indicted on charges of perjury, obstruction of justice and making false statements. The five-count indictment charged that he gave misleading information to the grand jury, allegedly lying about information he discussed with three news reporters. It alleged that he committed perjury before the grand jury in March 2004 and that he also lied to FBI agents investigating the case.
Libby was indicted on charges of perjury, obstruction of justice and making false statements. The five-count indictment charged that he gave misleading information to the grand jury, allegedly lying about information he discussed with three news reporters. It alleged that he committed perjury before the grand jury in March 2004 and that he also lied to FBI agents investigating the case.
(Indictment text here). Lying to a grand jury is serious, if true. The rest is Martha Stewart stuff. But this isn't the Libby-Rove-Cheney takedown that the lefties have been hoping for -- there's not even a charge of "outing" a covert agent -- and the very extravagance of their hopes will make this seem much less significant. If there's no more, this will probably do Bush little harm.
Laura Lee Donoho, meanwhile, says it's not Fitzmas, but Fitzween. Boo!
ANOTHER UPDATE: Various readers send versions of this: "That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on! . . . Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer! . . . He's got huge, sharp... er... He can leap about. Look at the bones!"
MORE: Some predictions. And Orin Kerr has further thoughts: "All things considered, the Libby indictment handed down today was narrower than I expected. As I read it, all five of the counts come down to Libby's lying to investigators and the grand jury about his contacts with the press. The counts seem pretty clearly valid and tight on the law, although none go to the substantive offense for which Libby was investigated."
Meanwhile, Byron York wonders why we still don't know who the leaker is.
Michael Kinsley: "Either this whole prosecution is nuts or the mainstream media view of reporters' rights is nuts. Which is it?"
Eugene Volokh wonders what a government official is supposed to do.
Jayne Meynardie emails: "Mouse or rabbit or whatever, if he knowingly lied to a grand jury, he should be punished, and no one should feel the least bit bad for him." True enough -- but it's hardly what we were promised in the run-up to today, is it? Perhaps more will materialize, as I noted above -- but as I also noted above, if this is all there is, it doesn't live up to the hoopla.
Gateway Pundit has more on the "who is the leaker" question. Was there a "leak" at all? Fitzgerald won't say. A commenter adds: "I think if I am ever called to a GJ, they will hear one thing... silence."

Online piano lessons is a relatively new idea - and Mr. Hoffman of the Hoffman Academy has been developing his program for a few years now. As a teacher and piano player, he has researched music instruction methods and developed the "Hoffman Method" as a result of his experiences. The Hoffman Academy has over 250 students at it's Portland OR location, and now this program is available world-wide via free online piano lessons.
Here's how it works:
There are 3 units of 20 lessons. Each lesson has a video, available for free on YouTube. The videos are between 5 and 15 minutes long, and you can watch a lesson as many times as you like. As well, you can progress through the lessons at your own pace, as time and schedules permit! Accompanying the videos are extra lesson materials which include MP3 files, sheet music and activity pages to help reinforce the learning. The extra materials are available for purchase for $19 per unit, or $45 if you buy all 3 units together.
It's extremely easy to listen to and watch Mr. Hoffman! His voice is pleasant and he's very encouraging, making the children love to watch and try out what he's suggesting! In fact, although we've been mostly watching the lessons with our 5-year old, our 3-year old is picking up a few things too and wants to watch Mr. Hoffman too! :) The lessons are very accessible to beginners, so if you or your child wants to learn and has no prior experience, you can start right in! One new thing we noticed is how the lessons are presented, with a title and summary of what you'll learn in each lesson - this gives you a great overview of the program.
We found the lessons to be a nice balance of learning songs, music theory and basic piano practice and knowledge. It gave our son a really good feeling to be able to play a recognizable song after the first lesson! We've looked at the Hoffman piano lessons before, but started again this time now that Mr. D is older (and his fingers are longer!) The extra materials, while not completely necessary, do give you a chance to practice along with accompaniment, and also to start getting used to traditional music notation. Text is nicely complemented by images and diagrams to help the student better visualize and understand what is happening.
The Hoffman Method emphasizes a few different areas of music learning, and I like his well-rounded approach. It helps to keep the learning interesting and the student motivated as well as keeping the enjoyment level high. The areas emphasized are:
- ear training
- rhythm
- sight reading
- technique
- improvisation
- music theory
As someone who plays (although infrequently) and who spent many years doing piano lessons, I'm really glad to see this balance of instruction. Although I had several good piano teachers, I wish I'd had more training in improvisation and ear training, and possibly less in music theory (which was a lot of my lessons as I grew older). Now, I mainly play for my own enjoyment, and being able to play a melody I've heard and adding in some improvisation is something I wish I could do better! Already, after a few lessons, I can see that Mr. D is picking up on the sounds and copying the sounds rather than strictly paying attention to the music notation provided, which makes me very happy! I know our older son plays most of his music this way (he'll start on any note rather than the one written and play his song, adjusting for sound as he goes!)
Since we last tried out the Hoffman Method, Mr. Hoffman and his team have been busy. They've added 20 more video piano lessons and divided the lessons into units. As well, they've published the extra materials for the new lessons, and redeveloped the website. It's looking very smooth and professional now. The shopping cart feature of the website works well and materials purchased are instantly available for download, as a zipped file for PC users, or as individual pdf and mp3 files for iPad and iPhone users.
If you're wanting to learn to play the piano, now is the perfect time to start! The Hoffman Academy is offering Glimpse readers a discount of 40% off your entire cart purchase! That means that you could get all of the extra materials for $27!! Or one unit for 11.40! Use coupon code: glimpsepianodeal. This coupon expires on February 19th, 2014 and is open to everyone worldwide!!

San Francisco: Under Interdict? And What Took So Long?
"Interdict" was a political technique used by the medieval Catholic Church to bring kings and emperor's into line: it meant denying the celebration of liturgies and sacraments to the general population because of the actions of their leader. Innocent III used it against France c. 1200 A.D. to bring Philip Augustus into line. Since this meant unreconciled souls could be condemned to hell, according to | Read More »

Ann Arborite Lou Caincross
Transmission guy
posted 4/19/2010
The Mustang squeals as I downshift into the lot at Lou's Wolverine Transmission on Packard south of Stadium. It's louder than Led Zeppelin, and I fear it means the junkyard for the nine-year-old 'Stang with its 99,099 miles.
"Sounds like your throw-out bearing's shot, friend," a big, smiling man behind the counter calls out. "My name's Lou. Want me to take care of it for you?" I sign the papers, and when I get the car back the next day, it has a new clutch and the noise is gone. Caincross charges me $715.
The clutch shifts with an ease and smoothness I don't remember it having even when it was new. But then in a couple days the clutch pedal starts rattling. I call Caincross, and he tells me to bring it right in.
While he takes it for a test drive, I check out the waiting room. Just about every-thing is maize and blue, from the paint on the exterior to the giveaway pens on the counter, and the walls are covered with signed U-M sports memorabilia.
"Yep," explains the sleepy-eyed young man coming out of the stock room, "they all come through here: the football players, the women's basketball players, the soccer players. And when they come through, we get their autographs." He lights a cigarette. "Hi, I'm Brian Yates, and Lou's my uncle."
I've gone to Wolverine on the advice of John Mendler, longtime owner of Mallek's Service Station. A man of few words, Mendler tersely recommended Caincross as "good, honest, and fair."
Caincross returns with a diagnosis: when they reinstalled the clutch, they left a cable rubbing against the chassis. While Brian makes it right, I ask Caincross about his life and the transmission business.
"Let's see. I was born in Charleston, West Virginia, in 1950," he cheerfully replies. "My father was a Baptist preacher, and we came up here on vacation when I was fourteen or fifteen, and he liked what he saw. Liked the weather, too,
and we stayed....I was one of twelve kids, you see, and two of my older brothers and a sister were already living up here and working in the [car] plants."
After a stint in the Army, he worked various jobs before becoming a salesman for Naylor Chrysler in the late 1970s. "I sold a used car to a couple of gentlemen who were Israeli and didn't speak English very well. They were the new franchisees at the AAMCO transmission shop across the street, and I said to them, 'You need a guy who speaks good English'--and they asked me to be him."
Caincross learned to fix transmissions at AAMCO, but "I always saw myself as an entrepreneur--so I bought this place when it came up for sale in 1986. My wife and I took out our life's savings and bought it for $15,000. It was a Continental [Transmissions] franchise then, and we had a ten-year agreement that I'd use the name and pay them seven and a half percent of the gross."
"The first year was tough. They closed Packard down to one lane, and that almost put me out of business. Then the second year, the state of Michigan ran Operation Shift, where they'd send cars into transmission shops with the vacuum hose pulled, and if you were honest like I am, you'd put it back on and didn't charge them anything--but if you weren't honest, you'd stick them with a new transmission. And they shut down Independent [Transmission] and AAMCO and a lot of others," barring them from doing business in the state for years.
Shocked car owners avoided independent transmission shops and turned to the dealerships. Luckily for him, "the next year, the state did the same thing to the dealerships, showed they were just as bad if not worse than the rest. And that helped my business a lot!"
For Caincross, the 1990s were the golden age. He had four people working for him, kept ninety transmissions in stock, and installed seven a week. "Transmissions were overheating, and the bands were breaking pretty regularly," Caincross recalls, especially in winter, when drivers got stuck in the snow and spun their wheels. GM and Ford models had their share of troubles, but Chrysler had more: "If there was a big snow, we'd have three, four, maybe even five Chryslers in the lot when we got here in the morning."
When his agreement with Continental was up, he struck out on his own. But as cars got better, the transmission business got worse. With today's computer--controlled drivetrains, he says, "it's harder to hurt the transmissions.
"My good weeks now are what my bad weeks were in the nineties," says Caincross, who lives with his wife, Nancy, in Dexter Township. (They have two grown daughters and one grandchild.) Yates is his only full-time employee. They keep just eight transmissions in stock and install a couple a week. To pay the rent, "we're doing general repairs--brakes, timing, chains, shocks--things I'd never have touched before."
But Caincross can't imagine doing anything else. "This business has its ups and its downs, its good and its bad, but it's got more good than bad." He's gradually selling the business to Yates on a land contract--"I've trained him pretty good, and he knows the ins and outs"--but expects to work at least a couple more years.
Yates finishes with my car--no charge. I thank Caincross and wish him the best. As I go out the front door, I see a gorgeous '77 Corvette bearing the vanity plate "-TOY4LOU." A sign in the window announces, "For Sale $10,500."
"If you've got the money, you can drive it away today," Caincross calls out cheerfully. I thank him again and drive off in my Mustang. The rattle's gone.

Aiken Standard (Newspaper) - March 1, 1989, Aiken, South Carolina Inside Today Miss Texas Wins Crown Page 5A A Quick Read Plea Doesnt Stop Lake Name ATLANTA AP Despite a plea from a former aide to Sen Strom Thurmond a state Senate committee has approved a bill which would re fuse to put Thurmond Lake on state road signs and maps Congress changed the name of Clarks Hill Lake on the South Caroli

Selkirk Common Riding
At least 400 years old and stems back to the time of the "Burleymen", Burgh Law men who had the task of ensuring no one was encroaching on the town's common lands.
The Selkirk Common Riding 2014 will be taking place on Thursday 12th of June until Saturday 14th of June.
In 1513, 80 men from Selkirk followed James IV into battle at Flodden. Only one, Fletcher, survived to return, weary and wounded but bearing a captured English flag which he raised aloft and then cast to the ground. The Flodden legend came to be associated with the Common Riding, with the Royal Standard Bearer as the central figure and the casting of the colours of the main ceremony. The town rises early to follow the band and witness the bussing of the Burgh Flag. The Riding of the Marches lasts about 4½ hours and the riders return to the Market Place for the solemn casting of the colours where various trades and corporations are represented. Celebrations continue onto the next day with horse racing, and professional games.

How do we move educational technology from the page-turning applications that have given CAL a bad name to an environment that helps retain the inherent interest of learning? The ideal would be an activity that intrinsically "engages" the learner, and leads them through an interactive experience that enhances their ability to solve problems. Are engagement and effectiveness mutually exclusive goals? I will lay out the different conceptions that contribute to an understanding of engagement, and then demonstrate the considerable overlap that exists. To begin with, however, I need to lay out the ground rules.
My premise is that learning does not have to be aversive. That does not mean that learning does not involve activity, but rather that we will invest considerable energy in activities that are engaging and fun. Learning enhanced to be fun can be more effective, as Lepper and Cordova (1982) have shown. Using some simple educational tasks, they demonstrated that learning embedded in a motivating setting improved learning outcomes.
This is not to minimize the complexities that are involved. Games and the contexts of their use are rich enough that we cannot easily control all variables and reliably conduct laboratory studies. Further, many of the elements that make an activity a game may arise external to the inherent nature of the task. The claim here is not that the games themselves are sufficient for learning to occur, but rather that they can provide elements of a learning process (notably the activity).
The definition of game itself is also problematic. "Game" has long been the canonical example of an undefinable concept. For example, the boundary between simulation and game is not clearly defined; when does a flight simulator change from a training tool to an entertainment activity?
I am going to take a very pragmatic view and insist that the only measure of whether an interactive activity is fun is the player's perception. You cannot decree that anything is a game, you have to ask or look for convergent evidence.
Note that I am not talking about so-called "twitch" games, but rather games that require cognitive effort and are not generally dependent on rapid response. There are learning applications there, but that is not where I think the interesting challenges and opportunities lie. That does not mean that I am therefore abandoning fun.
What elements comprise an engaging interactive multimedia learning experience? To be effective educationally, there must be reference to learning theories and methods of design. To be truly interactive, it must draw upon what is known about how to make computer systems usable. We also want to know what it is that characterizes activities that people classify as entertaining and engrossing.
I contend that, at least for cognitive skills and at least at a coarse level, learning approaches are converging on a model (as I was proposing as a response to Charles Reigeluth's recent discussion). This model includes motivating the learning by demonstrating the practical applications and importance of the knowledge, providing a conceptual description of the skill, demonstrating the application of the knowledge to practical problems, providing practice opportunities with support in the form of scaffolding, and facilitating transfer through guided reflection on the activity to integrate the practical issues with the underlying conception. Justification for the elements of this model are spread across approaches such as problem-based learning (Barrows, 1986), cognitive apprenticeship (Collins, Brown, & Newman, 1989), Laurillard's (1993) pragmatic approach, and others. There may be disagreement about which order elements are taken in, but I believe few would argue against the inclusion of any of these elements.
Increasingly, there is an emphasis on exploration and discovery, where the learner takes responsibility for constructing their own knowledge. There is similarly an increasing emphasis on the role of social interaction in learning. While the extreme view of this is contentious, equally so is the view that you can completely engineer the learning process. As in most things, the answer lies in between (e.g., Anderson, Reder, & Simon, 1996).
Specific elements to focus on here include motivating the learning, demonstrating application, and scaffolded practice. One implication of this model is that students should be assigned activities that reflect the application of the content knowledge as it is practiced outside the classroom. The goal is to induct the learner into a "culture of practice" which makes the knowledge meaningful. Another implication is that the feedback ideally should be intrinsically embedded into the context in which the activity is performed. A further implication is to have the learning challenge carefully balanced to keep it within a "zone" that matches the learner's ability. What we see are that elements that contribute to effective learning environments include a thematically meaningful story ("situating" the application of the knowledge), relevant and rapid feedback, and a carefully managed level of challenge.
Approaches to making computer-based tasks "direct" also inform the process of design. Innovations in interface design (interestingly, many were first seen commercially in games) were providing a new experience of using a computer, and several researchers tried to summarize the elements that contributed to the feeling of directly manipulating the computer environment. Shneiderman (1983) and Hutchins, Hollan, & Norman (1986) suggested that a tight coupling between action and feedback was important, both in the form of the communication, and in the time between action and response. In addition, complex syntax is replaced by direct manipulation on representations that are familiar from other experience.
Inspiration and clarification for the design of computer experiences have extended into examinations of other media. Two different perspectives have informed the investigation: Laurel (1991) has explored the implications of theater for interaction design, while Tognazzini (1993) has similarly explored stage magic. While these are passive activities from the observer's perspective, there are underlying principles that have been extended to the design of engagement. One element that arises from both perspectives emphasizes designing the "action" so that there is a thematically coherent development of the experience over time. Further, the action should be meaningful to the theme. Finally, control should be in the hands of the user, with a perception of choice and frequent opportunities for action.
A further source of input is a broad investigation of the affective experience of fun. Explorations have included the experience of the "flow" state (Czikszentmihalyi & Czikszentmihalyi, 1988), and considerations of what makes computer games "fun" (Malone, 1981). Malone indicated three elements of computer games: fantasy, the scenario in which the activity is embedded; challenge, the level of difficulty; and curiosity, the introduction of new information and non-deterministic outcomes. Czikszentmihalyi expands the concept of challenge, indicating that the level of challenge needs to be matched to skills, and should be greater than average. Another important element is having clear goals for the activity. Finally, the flow state is highest when the individual is the locus of control.
It should be noted that many elements are repeated in the different areas. Feedback is highlighted in several, as are goals and control, challenge, thematic coherence, and the need for direct action. It is this conceptual overlap that raises hopes for a productive synergy.
Combining these approaches yields a convergent and emergent model of engaging learning. I propose that engagement comes from "interactivity" and "embeddedness," and that the elements that constitute these two components match with good learning design as well.
Embeddedness includes thematic coherence, meaningfulness of action to the domain of representation, and meaningfulness of the problem in the domain to the learner (which is implicit but not explicit in much of the above). Note that embeddedness differs from immersion, which to me is the physical presentation directly and exclusively to sensory inputs, such as seen in virtual reality environments. People can get just as engaged in a non-immersive environment as they can in an immersive one.
Interactivity includes having an appropriate level of challenge through a variety of choices of action, effected through direct manipulation of the world of interest, with quick and clear feedback from those actions in ways that reflect the semantics of the world and afford further action choices, and the presence of novel information and events that contribute to those choices. (Note that this is an attempt to elicit the elements that contribute to the aesthetic of interactivity and therefore a somewhat different enterprise than that which Rod Sims has recently discussed.)
Moreover, we see that the elements of engagement (from studies of user interaction) also reinforce the elements of good learning. The degree to which the learning is "situated" is the degree to which the situation represented, or the theme, is meaningful to the learning domain. Good learning design will also propose that feedback should be rapid and linked to the problem and the action. Finally, the challenge required to maintain engagement is just the zone of difficulty where learning occurs. This is a rather sketchy treatment of what I see as a richer sharing of common ground.
I will maintain that it is the cognitive challenge that distinguishes the truly engaging activity and the truly effective learning. However, if I am arguing that we can embed cognitive challenges in games, I must also clearly describe the cognitive outcomes. If we first distinguish between knowledge "how" to do things, and knowledge "about" things, we can then characterize the use of cognitive skills as the application of "how" knowledge to use "about" knowledge to solve a problem. Then, computer games are practice opportunities for cognitive skills. As a further outcome, exploration can also help learners internalize the relationships underlying a dynamic system. As Michael Spector [ITForum #9] discussed in this forum earlier, understanding dynamic systems is a desirable learning outcome, and can fundamentally be enabled through interactive technology.
In contrast to Michael Spector, however, I have not discussed computerized "construction kits." These certainly can have the appearance of games (e.g., Cocoa), and they can have powerful outcomes. However, while the ability to model a system is a useful skill, not all systems need to be modeled to be successfully understood. I believe exploring and discovering contingencies and relationships can build a sufficient understanding of a system to meet certain learning goals. In the game Quest, developed to help youth learn how to live independently (Quinn, in press; see also http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/Quest/), I maintain that there is no need for the player to explicitly develop an external model as internalizing the contingencies is sufficient.
I recognize that there are many unanswered questions and remaining challenges. For instance, I have not addressed the empirical result that the games that appeal to one person do not necessarily appeal to the next. The easy way out would be to argue that with some support (like it being required in the classroom), almost any game would be used in preference to some less engaging activity. Instead, I would rather argue that we may need a variety of games to illustrate a point, both to further facilitate transfer and to recognize the diversity of our students. This is particularly relevant to gender issues, where the vast majority of computer games appeal far more to males than females. I believe that cognitively challenging games can appeal equally, and in general that well developed games will have a broader appeal than games focusing on other forms of challenge such as motor challenge.
Another complex problem is developing a story-line within a game. As indicated above, the story develops out of an embedding theme, but this does not address capturing the characteristic buildup of tension and release (Laurel discusses this). Without too heavily presaging Rob Moser's Ph.D. thesis (and I will acknowledge here both his contributions to my thinking and his valuable comments on this paper; the same for Andrew White), he's finding that the structure of learning task hierarchies maps nicely onto the requirements for maintaining an appropriate level of challenge (which maps nicely onto the requirements of structure for plot development).
A further question involves the educational effectiveness of the games I am proselytizing. We do not yet have a systematic evaluation of the benefit of even the most hyped examples of "edutainment." Certainly, we need to consider how they are used, but we also need to know how to use them effectively. I believe that with materials to help teachers or parents facilitate the learning in ways coherent with the convergent learning model proposed above, these environments can be effective (our anecdotal evidence from Quest supports this), but this is still in need of empirical validation.
We may also be able to enhance the ability of games to, on their own, facilitate learning. We can embed scaffolding and support tools into the environment (Hedberg, et al, 1994). To facilitate reflection, we can record traces of the learner's activity or exploration (Schauble, et al, 1993). There is considerable potential for exploration here.
I am optimistic that, with good design and good guidelines for support, computer games can be engaging and educationally effective. I would go so far as to say that they could be engaging enough to be played without educational goals at all. Certainly examples exist. The problem is to educate the game designers to move past their easy reliance on sordid rehashes of the latest technical advance, and to make the effort to design challenging games that are based on valuable cognitive skills. We learn the things needed to play games. We should therefore strive to design games that require the things we wish to learn. To effectively engage learning, we can and should make learning engaging.

Last day! With our last day in Bangkok felt like we needed to do something, she was determined to buy all of Bangkok to send home to her friends and family (mine aren't getting the same treatment!) so we headed to MBK a massive shopping centre! Again the protests had kicked off and we were told that the previous night 3 people died and there was buildings and cars being blown up! Keen to avoid ...
Taking a Little Break
... ride to Cambodia tomorrow and my visit to a place I have been wanting to explore for ages: Angkor Wat. I really can't wait! I never used to understand those people who were hanging about the hostel all day when there were so many amazing things and places to explore in the outside world. Usually, I am that annoying person who crams the day's schedule full with as many sights as possible. But now I get it. Even though I didn't technically spent the whole day in ...
Venice of the East and China Town
... Even busier than the streets of Bangkok city centre! Food stalls were everywhere and the many lanes that filtered off the main roads were filled with stalls selling spices, meat, fish, fruit, jewllery, Chinese gifts, clothes, drinks, you name it they sold it! Tuk tuk, cars and bikes drove down the lanes making it nearly impossible to walk down, along with the hundreds of people buying their daily goods. We seemed to be the only tourists there! It really was another ...
Shop 'til Steven drops
... time, but then I realised I would have to relive most of that day. Also it'd not be much different for you from all of my other entries.
So I'll summarise. We ended up buying the shoes in the metro-station next to the Siam Paragon and from where we had exited in search of shoes many hours earlier. I could not wait to get back.
We lounged until we were hungry and then went out in search of food. And this is where this entry ...
Watching people at the train station!
... where I was heading to! It was time to head right back to the hotel.
I had an important group meeting at 6:00pm this evening where I'd be meeting the tour's Chief Experience Officer (CEO) and the other group members! I wondered how many we'll be in total and from which countries and walks of life!

Monster Energy Graves Yamaha's Josh Hayes was the fastest rider
during the opening AMA Pro Superbike practice session Thursday at Daytona
International Speedway.
Hayes, a three-time Champion of the class, lapped the
2.9-mile infield road course in 1:39.288, 0.65 second faster than anyone else. But
that's well off Hayes' 2013 pole position time of 1:37.096 and slightly slower
than Hayes went during the first practice session in 2013, 1:38.957. The
veteran racer attributed the slower times to relatively poor track conditions.
"The track's getting considerably better," Hayes told
reporters. "The right side was the big issue, I think, more than anything. I
think we're in the same place or a little ahead of where we were this time last
year. I think the conditions are gonna get better as the weekend goes on and it
warms up a bit. I'm looking forward to this afternoon and going out and seeing
if I can go fast again."
In 2013, Hayes was knocked out of both races at Daytona due
to mechanical problems with his YZF-R1. Asked what had been done to make sure
those problems do not happen again during this visit to the high-banked
superspeedway, Hayes said, "All that stuff was sorted out right after Daytona
last year. As far as that goes, we have a full season of work under our belt to
try and rectify those problems. They weren't just Daytona problems. The clutch
maybe was. But the team went after all that aggressively right away because it
wasn't something that we wanted to surface at any other racetrack. As far as I
know all of those issues have been put to bed, and we can just focus on going
Hayes' new rookie teammate, 2013 AMA Pro Daytona SportBike
Champion Cameron Beaubier, was second-fastest with a 1:39.936 in his first
competitive ride on his YZF-R1. Beaubier came away from the session with one
honor, however, the fastest trap speed. Beaubier reached 201.027 mph on his
A total of 23 riders took to the track during the session.
