The people have spoken. It was the longest election cycle in history. The ads were endless, the attacks were sometimes ruthless and the gossip was wickedly riveting. But now that it's all over, my big question is: What am I supposed to do with my free time?I'm coming off an election addiction that feels like I'm trying to kick crack cocaine. How am I supposed to get through the day without constantly checking CNN or the Huffington Post? What I am supposed to do on the weekends without monitoring all the political shows and staying up late for "Saturday Night Live"? And worst of all, what the heck is my family supposed to talk about at dinner now that Sarah Palin's wardrobe is off the table? I know I had a life before this election, but I'll be darned if I can remember what I did with it. Sitting at my computer frantically surfing the net and eating cereal out of the box while I watched "Meet the Press" might not qualify as an actual purpose. But it sure felt like one to me. However, now that all the hoopla is over, I'm floundering. Our president-elect has suggested that there's actual work to be done, and that rebuilding our economy and our country is job one. That's all fine and well, but it doesn't sound like as much fun as watching Tina Fey do her pageant walk. I'm all for supporting my country, but I'm starting to get an inkling that Obama is going to expect me to do a little more than just forward all the funny YouTube videos. I know Obama isn't the president just yet. But since the current commander isn't venturing out of his house, for all practical purposes, Obama is our leader. And while he may able to jump from a grueling two-year campaign straight into the job of running our country, I'm a middle-aged woman and I need some rest. I might be the same age as Obama, but he's clearly taking better vitamins. While he's choosing staff, I'm still whining about how my legs hurt from waiting in a five-hour line to vote. And while he's reaching out to the other side, I'm still detoxing from all the fighting. That's the hardest part of recovering from an election addiction, coming together after it's all decided. Because in the heat of debate, you sometimes forget that the people on the other side, love their country just as much as you do. And that the people you voted against, are just as committed to public service as the people you voted for. So as part of my own detox, I'd like to pause and say thank you. Thank you to everyone who put their time, energy and hearts into this election. Whether you won or you lost, you showed the world that Americans really do care about our country. We care enough to vote, we care enough to give money, we care enough to knock on doors and we care enough to disagree. It's an amazing thing, this election process - no guns, no violence, no riots. It all ends with a gracious concession speech from a true American hero and people hugging each other in a public park. We the people of the United States of America have conducted another election, and frankly, I couldn't be more proud.

Top 10 Organic Baking Ingredients
At shopOrganic, I'm the one who's the baker in the group so when the team asked if I would write about my top ten organic baking ingredients, I naturally jumped at the chance. I've been baking since I was a kid, but it was only in the last decade I started using organic baking ingredients – and I've noticed a difference. The flavors are deeper and the end results are delectable. So, let's take a look at organic baking ingredients and why they matter.
Organic products contain no artificial colors, no additives, no chemicals and most important, no pesticides or Genetically Modified Organisms (organic is, by definition, GMO-free). So, you're packing in flavor and nutrition without all that other nonsense. Baked goods made from organic baking ingredients have great flavor and texture.
Top Ten Organic Baking Ingredients
1. Organic pastry flour – if you want a great pastry or any other baked good that requires flour with a bit less protein content. Protein gives flour structure when used in baked goods, so a pastry flour needs to be softer, more delicate. Organic pastry flour is top on my list of organic baking ingredients.
2. Organic coconut oil – organic coconut oil can be substituted for just about any kind of oil, but you need to be aware that organic coconut oil is so flavorful that you need to be OK with the flavor of coconut subtly infused in your baked goods.
3. Organic raw honey – honey is a great sweetener for baked goods, but you need to adjust your liquids down to accommodate for the liquid provided by the honey. The sweetness of honey is warm and mellow, not as sweet as cane sugar, so it can be a great choice for soft, subtle flavors.
4. Organic cane sugar – sometimes you need sugar for a recipe and nothing else will do quite as well. For example, I've found that when I need to cream organic butter and sugar, organic cane sugar is the best choice. The process of creaming these two ingredients adds air to the butter, so using cane sugar is a good choice.
5. Organic coconut flour – this is a unique ingredient that adds fiber and great flavor to your baked ingredients. Coconut flour absorbs liquids more than wheat flour, so mix ¼ coconut flour and ¾ wheat flour for best results – you may need to adjust your liquids a bit as well.
6. Organic quinoa flour – this is a delicate, flavorful flour you can use for in just about any recipe. Full of protein and fiber, you can use in place of regular flour or mix ½ and ½.
7. Sea salt – though not technically "organic", sea salt adds a depth of flavor you won't find in standard commercial salt. There are many different types of sea salt and you can experiment with which you like best – Portuguese, French, Himalayan, Hawaiian and more. Each has a unique flavor profile and you can try different salts for different recipes.
8. Active dry yeast – another product that's natural (vs. organic), but still worth a shout out is active dry yeast. Here's a tip – use fresh yeast that's within its "best by" date so it has the most leavening power. Old, out of date yeast will disappoint you in the rise you get on your yeast baked goods.
9. Organic pecans – honestly, of all the nuts to bake with, organic pecans are my hands-down favorite. Their naturally sweet flavor becomes sweeter and nuttier with the heat of the over. Use whole or pieces, I put them in just about everything.
10. Organic Medjool dates – dates are a great way to sweeten baked goods, but they also add a wonderful flavor, texture and fiber. You can mash them, dice them or slice them into you baked goods.
No matter what you like to bake, organic baking ingredients make your baked goods tastier and certainly healthier. Give a few of these ingredients a try and let us know YOUR favorites or add to the list!

Organic Pumpkin Souffle, Easy To Make, Delicious To Eat
This time of year can be tempting with all the delicious food folks cook up and bring to work. This holiday season, I'm trying out new recipes to see if I can put a healthier twist on some of my favorites. This is the first one, though admittedly, it's not that much healthier than traditional pumpkin pie – but it IS guaranteed to impress for about the same amount of effort as homemade pumpkin pie. Without the crust, it's certainly fewer calories and next time I make this, I'll try a vegan version using organic oat milk instead of the luscious half and half.
Here's how it started – I got a box of Pacific Foods organic pumpkin puree as a trial and thought I'd do something different. With a quiet afternoon (a rare gift in my world) and a recipe in hand, I looked through my pantry to see if I had all the ingredients. Miraculously, I did. Pumpkin souffle ensued.
Tips for making a great soufflé
- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature. Take the out at least 20 minutes in advance.
- When you separate your egg yolks from egg whites, ensure there is NO yolk in the whites.
- Put the whites in a stainless steel bowl that is clean and has no grease or oil at all.
- When you fold in the egg whites, be slow and gentle, it's worth the extra 10 minutes of effort.
- When you put the ramekins in the oven, do not open the oven at all. Trust your oven and your timer.
4 organic, free range (local, if available) eggs
1 ½ cups Pacific Foods organic pumpkin puree (1 box).
½ cup organic sugar + ¼ cup sugar for egg whites
½ cup organic half & half
¼ teaspoon each: organic cinnamon, nutmeg, ground clove
½ teaspoon organic vanilla (I use Singing Dog because it has the added bonus of a vanilla bean inside)
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
First Things First
Preheat your oven to 375. Make sure one of the racks is in the center of the oven.
Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Ensure no yolk leaks into the whites. (Hint: I separate the egg, then pour the white into another bowl and repeat. That way, if one egg yolk breaks, you haven't ruined all the egg whites). Set egg whites and egg yolks aside.
Make Your Pumpkin Puree Mixture
In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, ½ cup sugar (use ¼ cup here if you like less sweet, more pumpkin flavor), your spices, vanilla and salt. Set aside. If you're going to use an alternative to organic granulated cane sugar, you might want to experiment with the recipe once or twice. Who needs the stress of wondering if your 'new' recipe will turn out properly on a big holiday?
Prepare 8 ramekins on a baking sheet. I usually melt a bit of organic butter (or soften to room temperature) – about a pat of butter size – and grease the inside of the ramekins. Set on the baking dish and set aside.
Preparing Your Egg Whites
Beat your egg whites with the ¼ tsp of cream of tartar. If using an electric mixer (recommended), start off slowly. As the whites firm up, gradually increase speed. When they are still soft but starting to form peaks, slowly (1-2 TBS at a time is slowly) mix in your remaining ¼ cup of sugar. Continue to beat with all the sugar added until the egg whites are shiny and stiff.
Take about ½ of your pumpkin puree out of the bowl (yes, it makes another dirty bowl, but worth it) and set aside. Slowly fold in the egg whites about a ½ cup at a time into ½ the pumpkin mixture. Once you've gently folded in about ½ the egg whites, add the remaining pumpkin puree back into the large bowl and continue folding the egg whites in. The more slowly and the more of a folding motion you use, the more air that will remain in the egg whites and the fluffier your soufflé will turn out.
Fill Your Ramekins
Once all folded in, use a ladle to fill your ramekins to just below the rim.
Bake, Don't Peek
Place in the middle of your oven at 375 for 17 minutes. Do not open the oven, don't even turn on the light to peek. At 17 minutes, remove from the oven and let cool. As you can see (below), my souffle caved in a bit – I think my oven is just a shade cooler than 375, so next time, I'll either use an oven thermometer to verify the temperature or leave them in about three minutes longer. Still, I ate one of the smaller ones and it was perfect – so don't distress if yours cave a bit upon cooling – it happens and it will still taste amazing and even the best will settle a bit.
Serving Suggestions
You can serve immediately – place each ramekin on a small plate, dust with organic powdered sugar (if desired) or an organic cinnamon/organic sugar mix (you can free form this) or organic whipped cream, some mint sprigs for color – your choice! I serve them just as they are and they're scrumptious!
Happy Thanksgiving – enjoy these tasty little treats instead of pumpkin pie this holiday season!

With gas prices continuing to fall, are more people hitting the road this Christmas?
In West Quincy, gas was just more than 3-dollars a gallon. According the gasbuddy.com, Missouri has the lowest average price per gallon at $2.97, making more people want to travel.
Driver Kiala Brown said she wouldn't have made the trip up to Quincy for both Christmas Eve and Christmas day if gas prices were still high.
"Oh it's making it tons better. I've got a new born baby and so that kind of puts a pinch on the budget and so it's helping a lot better," Brown said.
According to gasbuddy.com, the average price per gallon in Iowa is $3.13 and in Illinois it's $3.26.

Asus T100?
So..did only Anandtech get a review unit? The tablet was "released" a few days ago but seems to only people available in a few places - Amazon/Newegg/BestBuy show no stock or preorder. Only Anandtech has posted a review. Has anyone bought one from somewhere? And if so how is it?
I am considering ordering one as a larger tablet that I can still use as a laptop - I have another machine for heavy lifting, but I miss the smaller form factor of my old 11" Macbook Air. I mainly want to use it for simple web development and if possible Unity development for mobile, though the Atom may not be up for that. But those will be the heaviest tasks - otherwise it will just be normal tablet uses - web browsing, video, email, etc. If it could play a game like Torchlight 2 then that would be awesome.
I am waiting to see what Apple announces tomorrow, but I think I will end up ordering the T100. I am just wondering why there is so little information on this device...

Ian Ruffino
Two-dimensional work is all too often taken at face value, as if it were really two dimensional, as if everything really lay on its surface. But masks hide faces, skin sheathes bone and sinew, muscle and flesh. In Ian Ruffinos prints, a top layer of paper often hides a remarkable density of material and, it would seem, meaning. Take the work titled Misspelled Word. On its surface, an appealing enough abstraction of speckled pastel colors, textured stitching, punched holes and ballpoint pen striations. But the paper is sewn to something underneath it, layers and layers of thick handmade paper in shades of blue, grey and purple. Read the materials list and discover that these sheets are made from a years worth of the artists clothing. Why does he only wear clothes in colors of bruise? Why does he not have more clothing? Why was he willing, or desiring, to rid himself of all his clothes from that year? All of Ruffinos work functions thusly, with first impressions reading an abstract surface appealing enough but mostly a disguise of some sort for the complications hidden underneath and hinted at in the captions, which might list lint as a medium (whose lint?), or the layers themselves (whats on the surfaces we cant see?), or even the backside (why is the stitching so messy back there?). Ruffinos not going to tell us what it all means, but he seems to have made a project of hinting at its existence.

Girl Fight premieres Monday January 31 (9pm ET/PT). The movie stars Anne Heche, Jodelle Ferland & James Tupper.
Synopsis: Internet "hits" take on a whole new meaning in the Lifetime Original Movie, Girl Fight, premiering Monday, October 3, at 9pm ET/PT. Inspired by a true story, Girl Fight follows the story of 16-year old Haley Macklin (Jodelle Ferland) as she attempts to navigate the intimidating halls of high school and discovers getting "in" with the popular senior girls is harder than she expected.
Frustrated by feeling left out, Haley thinks nothing of it when she criticizes the seniors by posting a note about them on a social network site. But when she comes to one of the senior's aid one afternoon, they strike up an unexpected friendship and Haley soon becomes wrapped up in being part of their crowd, straining her relationship with her parents Melissa (Anne Heche) and Ray (James Tupper) when she begins to come home late, talk back and disobey their rules. Ultimately, the girls discover Haley's online comments about them. Betrayed, they decide to make her pay by ambushing her and beating her up on camera with plans to post the video online to gain some Internet fame. Devastated by their daughter's brutal beating and footage of it surfacing online, Melissa and Ray put their hope into the authorities for justice in punishing Haley's former friends to help their daughter get her life back on track in this story about peer pressure, media scrutiny and forgiveness.

There seems to be a few too many feathers flying around here when it comes to the future of the program. Obviously with the collapses of recent there can be blame placed on the coaching, injuries, lack of motivation and game-time coaching.
What I would like to know is: Where do you see the Oregon program going in the next 5, or 10 years and why is our current model so destined for failure?
It's obvious that we can achieve the highest level of success with the right personnel in the right formations but when should we start expecting that situation EVERY year?
In this generation of college football we may not be able to be the powerhouse on the level of USC, LSU, Notre Dame, and Ohio State but we should be aiming to compare with the likes of Texas, Auburn, Michigan, and West Virginia. How do we present ourselves as on the level of these programs?
We're all witnessing a dramatic coming of age in Oregon football. Save for WV (who I'm unsure about the history of) who in that above list has gone from decades of losing tradition to where they are now in 14 years?
The sky isn't falling, Oregon football has a bright future but things do have to be eventually changed. What is that miracle move that can take us from where we are now to where it seems most of us want to be?

Slowly but surely, CNN is catching on to what we've known for years: that maybe Obamacare isn't such a good idea after all. Now, one of CNN's investigative reporters has uncovered who's responsible for making the ACA the law of the land:

Not exactly "breaking" to us. But hey, at least CNN's willing to acknowledge that, yes, this is the Democrats' fault:
Senate Democrats voted unanimously three years ago to support the Obamacare rule that is largely responsible for some of the health insurance cancellation letters that are going out.
In September 2010, Senate Republicans brought a resolution to the floor to block implementation of the grandfather rule, warning that it would result in canceled policies and violate President Barack Obama's promise that people could keep their insurance if they liked it.
And guess what: The Republicans were right all along!

That "reality," according to TPM, is that Obamacare is doing Americans a favor by forcing insurance companies to cancel their plans. Because the current plans don't meet Obamacare's high standards or something. Bull. The real reality is that with each passing day, more and more Americans are getting screwed by a law that Obama and the Democrats sold as a veritable life-saver.

The inconsistent Partenopei ended 2013 in third place and will look for improved results during the second half of the season, in order to keep up with top two Juventus and AS Roma. Rafa Benitez notoriously struggled against some of Serie A's lower sides before Christmas. For each victory against AC Milan, Lazio and Inter Milan, there were dropped points in the games that followed against Sassuolo, Udinese and Cagliari. With Fiorentina hot on their tails, Napoli have a fight to keep hold of the third and final Champions League slot.
Sinisa Mihajlovic has transformed Sampdoria from relegation candidates to potential mid-table candidates since replacing Delio Rossi. The Serb remains unbeaten after his first six games in charge at the Marassi, picking up nine points from a possible 15. In addition, Samp have progressed in the Coppa Italia thanks to a 4-1 thrashing of Hellas Verona. This game is far from being cut and dried.
When it comes to team selection, Benitez is a master at keeping everyone guessing. However, a couple of injuries have taken some decisions out of his hands. Pepe Reina and Marek Hamsik are still out which means Rafael will keep the goalkeeping gloves. Juan Zuniga and Giandomenico Mesto remain on the sidelines, while a bruised foot also rules out Swiss midfielder Valon Behrami. That leaves Blerim Dzemaili, Gokhan Inler and Dries Mertens to battle for the midfield positions. Gonzalo Higuain and Jose Callejon have chipped in with just under half of Napoli's 36 domestic goals. Both are expected to lead the line with support from Goran Pandev.
Infrequently seen defender Paolo Cannavaro limped out of a training game and has been left out of the squad. Given his lack of minutes under Benitez, rumours of a potential move to either Inter Milan or Lazio during the January transfer window have started to pick up pace.
Sampdoria can report a near clean bill of health for the trip to Naples. Top scorer Eder's return from injury has given the Blucerchiati a boost. The Brazilian attacker has seven goals to his name so far. Nicola Pozzi will make his 100th appearance for the club if selected.
Neither side has been on the end of a 0-0 scoreline this season, although last season's corresponding fixture did produce a stalemate. Samp have failed to find the net on each of their last five visits to the San Paolo.

Bunch was convicted for killing Lisa Harper and dumping her body. Harper went missing in December 2009 and her body was later found near the Marshall and Jackson County line.
Bunch has been sentenced to life in prison.

Gaven/Mendes Out - Finlay/Francis In?
Adam Jardy checks in with an injury report and it appears that both Eddie Gaven and Carlos Mendes are unlikely to play against Colorado. That means rookie Ethan Finlay likely will play right wing and Shaun Francis gets a start at left back. I'm excited to see what Finlay can do in league action, I expect a dynamic and perhaps even game changing performance. I'm less excited to see Francis, but it is a chance for him to build a case for being the long term starter.

Most likely Nene turns it down and Dallas and Mephis match, but at least make the effort. I dont want West at his Pric, Id rather pay for superior D and more rebounding at that spot. You could add offense with a shot creator like Crawfors for scoring without giving a max type deal.

We're barely three official weeks into fall, and I'm already dreaming of the tropics.
Sunny skies, white sand, a turquoise blue ocean and most importantly, the scent of coconut in the air. You know that fragrances are connected to our emotions, right? Well, for me, nothing transports me to my Happy Place—and wards off the cold-weather blues—quite like coconut-scented body wash, body lotion, shampoo, eau de toilette… heck, even Bounty bars, okay?
Happily, I've just discovered two new essentials that I expect will get me through the winter. Both are available in Canada from BeautyMark, which if you haven't discovered yet, you should—it's THE emporium for cutting-edge, cult-favourite beauty products. (Plus! They offer free shipping on orders over $99!)
Malie Organics is a Hawaii-based line of all-natural luxury spa products, and I'm currently in love with their Coconut Vanilla Organic Body Wash ($26 from BeautyMark). And it's no wonder: one of their secrets is a unique distilling process that takes native Hawaiian flowers and transforms them into potent hydrosols (floral waters), which are highly therapeutic and fragrant. (They're also a gentler alternative to essential oils because they can be applied direct to the skin.) The body wash contains 70 percent organic ingredients and is free of petroleum, sulfates and parabens. I know $28 is pricey for a body wash, but this turns my daily shower into a decadent aromatherapy experience.
Adara is a line of high-quality coconut oils from Singapore—all organic, fair trade and preservative- and paraben-free. The one I'm using is the Organic Coconut Virgin Oil in Soothing Lavender ($39.50 from BeautyMark), and let me tell you why it deserves that $39.50 price tag. (I think I love this, if it's possible, even more than the Malie body wash.) Quite simply, this is the most multi-purpose product I think I've ever come across. First of all, coconut oil locks in moisture like nothing else, whether on your body as a lotion, or (in small amounts) as a leave-in conditioner in your hair. (OR, massage it in and cover with a shower cap 30 minutes before your shower for an all-natural deep conditioning treatment.) You can also use it as a spot treatment on pimples—coconut oil contains antibacterial lauric acid, which helps lessen inflammation and redness.
More uses: as a massage oil, split end treatment, pre-swimming hair protection, hand and foot lotion, or—the coolest surprise for me—as a scent in an aromatherapy burner.
Available at beautymark.ca.

Smash and grab statue theft from Stockbridge shop
11:38am Wednesday 28th November 2012 in Romsey
A SMASH and grab thief has stolen a statue valued at £5,500 from a shop in Stockbridge.
The raider struck at about 2am on Friday, November 23, when a front window was broken at the Wykeham Art Gallery, High Street.
The bronze statue of a stag, pictured above, was on display in the window.
PC James Dalton said: "I am appealing for anyone with any information about this incident to come forward.
"The statue is about 26in tall and is very heavy. It is likely to have required two people to lift it, or possibly a van or a similar vehicle to transport it in."
Anyone with information can call PC Dalton at Andover police station on 101 or Crimestoppers, the charity, on 0800 555 111.

I. AAHRPP Site Visit Update: Done!
II. Educational tidbits, strengthened during our site visit preparation
III. Webinar on Overcoming Barriers to Recruitment and Retention of Minority Populations...Interested?
I. AAHRPP Site Visit Update: Done!
I know you are all wondering who was lucky enough
to be chosen by the Association for the Accreditation of
Human Research Protection Program (AAHRPP) to be interviewed
at our site visit last week. Well, wonder no more. Here are
the names of the dedicated professionals who did a stellar
job representing the high quality of our human research
protection program. Next time you see one of these folks,
please feel free to pat them on the back for a job
incredibly well done:
Jonathan Buscaglia, Sharon Nachman, Luis Gruberg, Patricia Coyle, Henry Woo, Leonie Huddy, Shanthy Sridhar, Marijean Buhse, Andrzej Kudelka, Marie Marino, Bob Marmo, Betsy Baron, Michael Wade, Omar Gould (BNL), Leigh Gentilcore, Ivar Strand, Lydia Chabza,Clinton Rubin, Peter Stephens, Nancy Daneau, Margaret Parker, Margaret Mcgovern, Todd Rosengart, Annie Laurie Shroyer, Patricia Pugliani, Ruth Tenzler, Laura Bertolotti, Joan Kavanaugh, Erin Infanzon, Denise Ferraro, Patricia Hentschel, Jeannene Strianse, Wayne Patterson, Harold Carlson, Michael Pearl, Robert Parker, Lauren Krupp, Gene-Jack Wang (BNL), Hal Skopicki, Marie Gelato, Abdool Samad, Laura Wessels, Mary O'Neill, Arthur Samuel, Susan Brennan, Darcy Mallon (BNL), Susan Blum, Ronnie McKinnon, Mark Sedler, Gregory Garra, Christopher Cutler.
THANKS TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. We will receive the formal determination of our accreditation status following the AAHRPP Council Meeting in September:
II. Educational tidbits, strengthened during our site visit preparation
- It's AAHRPP, not AA-IRBs
The accreditation process doesn't assess our IRBs. It assesses our human research protection program (HRPP). Look at the names of the people above above and see all the different facets of our program they represent. Maintaining a quality HRPP is a shared responsibility…made up of many components that interact with each other … IRB, Office of Research Compliance (ORC), Department Chairs, Investigators, Study Coordinators, Sponsored Programs, Legal Counsel, Office of Clinical Trials, GCRC, Pharmacy, Institutional COI Committee, BNL. If you are reading this e-mail, you are also part of the program.
How do all these components communicate? Many ways…some examples:
- Through the IRB application process (IRBNet allows for electronic access, and sends regular reports to many components of the program to 'do their HRPP thing', i.e., study team, sponsored programs, BNL, University Hospital components-Pharmacy-IT-Pathology-finance, GCRC , OCT)
- Through the Grant process (checks and balances to ensure compliance across the grant, the IRB submission, the institutional requirements etc.)
- Through the ORC: Representation on the COI committee, the GCRC Advisory Committee, communication with Sponsored Programs, BNL, etc.
- IRB Minutes get disseminated to Institutional
Officials, Pharmacy, BNL.
- We operate under many Federal Regulations:
- OHRP (DHHS) –ALL non-exempt research: 45 CFR- 46
Subpart A
And additional Subparts for specific protection of Pregnant Women, Fetuses, Prisoners, Minors
- FDA (DHHS)-for research involving drugs, biologics, devices
- DOE: (for DOE-funded studies, all BNL)
- DOD: (for DOD-funded Studies—Navy, Army, Air Force)
- ICH-Good Clinical Practice: For clinical trials
from sponsors that require it.
- OHRP (DHHS) –ALL non-exempt research: 45 CFR- 46 Subpart A
- We operate under SBU's Standard Operating Procedures:
- Conflict of Interest can be financial…covered by
university financial disclosures to the IRB and to the
Institutional COI committee and can also be non-financial
(what might affect your objectivity in doing the research?
e.g., relationships, desire for tenure, nobel prize). This
type of COI is not governed by a policy or process, but
expects that you are aware of it, and act ethically
- Privacy vs. Confidentiality
We know about confidentiality. We maintain subject confidentiality by coding, keeping data in a secured limited access location, etc.
We also know about the Privacy Law, HIPAA, governing the ability of an individual to control access to their (private) identifiable health data.
But privacy is also about how you interact with, or recruit the subject. How are you approaching people for participation? Are you protecting their right to privacy? You should pay attention to this concept in drafting your protocol, and in subsequently answering questions in the IRB application.
- Risk is the magnitude and likelihood of harm (physical,
psychological, breach of confidentiality etc.)
So…Let's say one of the side effects that can happen in a study is that the subject may have an allergic reaction to the study medication. The allergic reaction is a harm. But it doesn't tell you the risk. What is the probability of the allergic reaction (common, rare etc) and what is the magnitude of the reaction (a minor skin rash? anaphylactic shock)? Both pieces of information provide the RISK of that harm.
- What are you required to report to the IRB once your study
is approved? UNANTICIPATED PROBLEMS (UPs). NOT ADVERSE
EVENTS . UNANTICIPATED PROBLEMS (UPs) are:
- unexpected,
- related to the research, and
- increase risk to the subject or others
Go here for a full discussion, per our SOPs: https://web.stonybrook.edu/research/humans-sop/Shared%20Documents/Section08.aspx
For more on this amazingly important concept, go to our SOPs: https://web.stonybrook.edu/research/humans-sop/Shared%20Documents/Section05.aspx
III. Webinar on Overcoming Barriers to Recruitment and Retention of Minority Populations
If you are interested, let me know (email@example.com)...Location to be determined.
Strengthen your knowledge of the history and future of
minority participation in research...

The featured attraction for this Friday's UFC on FX 4 event is a 5-round lightweight scrap pitting Gray Maynard vs. Clay Guida. Festivities begin at 9:00 p.m. ET on the FX channel following the 6-segment preliminary card at 6:00 p.m. ET.
Gray Maynard (10-1-1) has been a little heavy on decisions, which account for 8 of his 10 wins, but still thoroughly dominant. His only shortcomings are the draw and subsequent TKO loss to then-champ Frankie Edgar, both of which started off with Maynard paddle-balling Edgar's head in near-finish scenarios, and the submission defeat to Nate Diaz on TUF that doesn't appear on his official record. Maynard also has a No Contest resulting from a freakish double TKO while taking Robert Emerson to the mat.
With the exception of split decision wins over Roger Huerta and Diaz in the rematch, Maynard has bulldozed the rest of the competition, including Edgar in their initial meeting. His wrestling has been utterly overbearing and the select few who could repel his takedowns struggled to mount offense under a hail of his whirring jackhammers on the feet.

I was a little indifferent toward Clay Guida (29-12) when he first started making waves in the UFC, but the guy's simply won me over. It's impossible not to like and appreciate -- or at least respect -- his infectious fighting spirit and unflinching determination. He might not ever be champion nor produce highlight-reel finishes, but you can bet the farm that he's going to fight his ass off and leave everything in the cage.
"The Carpenter" is a good wrestler who's adept with basic submissions, like attacking the neck from the front headlock or snaking in chokes from a dominant grappling position. He's also increased his striking effectiveness with his unique creation of drunk-guy-dancing-at-the-bar head movement, improved boxing fundamentals and learning how to set up his wrestling with his striking (and vice-versa).
In spite of his many subtle evolutions, Guida's unparalleled pace and feistiness are his best attributes. He'll be tasked with implementing those tools to chip away at the nearly immovable force of Maynard's D1 wrestling foundation.
Continued in the full entry.
Maynard doesn't offer much in the realm of weaknesses to exploit: he was choked out by Diaz, one of the deadliest submission artists at 155-pounds, and Edgar's footwork and ability to pop in and out of range with crisp combinations are virtually inimitable.
What Guida can replicate is Edgar's heart, durability, determination, elevated pace and dizzying pressure. Make no mistake about it -- Guida has the heart of a champion, and that's not only rare, but it was the biggest factor in Edgar persevering through Maynard's early onslaught. Guida does not have the striking finesse or elaborate footwork of Edgar, yet the intelligent way he's been meshing his boxing and wrestling and the uncertainty caused by his vivacious head movement could cause problems for Maynard.
On the feet, Guida has the faster hands but isn't known as a power puncher -- he's a capable boxer but not the type that wobbles or drops his opponents. In a straight wrestling match, he can't compete with Maynard, who's one of the most physically imposing lightweights in the UFC. His takedown defense is adequate but more dependent on his defensive movement and sprawling than his physical strength or clinch technique.
This, again, leaves no clear-cut path to victory for Guida, whereas Maynard knows he can inflict his short, mean power punches and fall back on his domineering wrestling if necessary. I believe that drawing from his hallmark characteristics and cycling through each at his typically blinding pace is Guida's best route. This is also the blueprint for Huerta's success against Maynard, who was faced with the same disadvantages in wrestling, size/strength and punching power, but fought competitively by conjoining his wrestling, striking and willpower at a furious pace in order to initiate scrambles, cause a bunch of general chaos and keep Maynard guessing and back on his heels as often as possible.
Since it's highly unlikely that Guida can stop Maynard with strikes, submit him or out-wrestle him, he'll have to phase-shift between takedowns, faking takedowns, rushing into the clinch and unreeling explosive combinations with his hands. I don't think Guida can defeat Maynard with any one of those tools alone, but mixing up each of those proficiencies, staying unpredictable with his selection and assaulting Maynard with them at light speed is the ideal (only?) sensible strategy.
Guida must be wary of Maynard's crushing left hook from outside and extremely conscious of his head position when closing range or dropping levels, as Maynard's right uppercut is also a devastating weapon. He'll also be encumbered with maintaining his balance and composure when attacking with punches, as Maynard can launch for a devouring double leg at any given moment, which always wreaks havoc on an advancing striker.
Having only fallen to the 155-pound world champion and giving him hell in the process, it's too hard not to side with Maynard's blue-collar boxing and wrestling here. "The Bully" just has a more obvious and attainable gameplan to follow and this should be his fight to win. Though logic hints toward a decision, I wouldn't be surprised to see Maynard seek out a finish via strikes, and 5 rounds offers plenty of time to do so.
My Prediction: Gray Maynard by decision.

The new website for the Vero Beach Sports Village is impressive. Very well done.
It's a great marketing tool for the facility ,,. and for Indian River County. Hopefully, it will attract sports teams, in all age groups, from near and far.
However, one thing really bugs me about the website. You really have to do some digging to find the word "Dodgertown."
You know, where the Dodgers conducted spring training for 61 years.
I know it's a legal thing -- the Dodgers are dragging their feet in even allowing use of the name "Historic Dodgertown" -- but I would have liked to have seen Minor League Baseball, which is now leases the facility from the county, force the issue and use the name "Dodgertown" on marketing material.
The Dodgers would have been idiots to sue. Then again, team owner Frank McCourt has made his share of P.R. blunders.

The Falcons hosted two Basketball camps this summer. The Skills and Drills camp was for players entering 3rd through 9th grade this fall. Emphasis was on basic fundamentals of basketball: ball handling, shooting, defense and more. This was a great camp for girls just getting started or girls that have been playing for a few years and want to work on their fundamentals and basic strategies.
The camp was attended by over 25 players. The camp was lead by the UWRF Coaching staff and players.
The second camp we held was the Hoops Challenge Camp. Designed for basketball players with some playing experience so we can progress to more advanced skills and game play. Emphasis on individual and team development. Offensive and defensive concepts: position-specific work, screening and using screens, floor spacing, position in the post, footwork inside and outside, plenty of shooting and ball handling. Work on the skills and strategies that separate outstanding players/teams from average players/teams. The skills that have to be learned and worked at during the off-season are the things that bring your game to the next level. Great camp for TEAMS or individuals to attend!
This camp had over 55 players and again was lead by the UWRF Coaching staff and players.

Well, it is now officially official.
The #49ers have placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on S Dashon Goldson.— San Francisco 49ers (@49ers) March 2, 2012
After some early discussions about whether the 49ers would consider other franchise options, it became fairly clear in recent days that the 49ers were going to end up placing the franchise tag on Dashon Goldson. For clarification, the non-exclusive franchise tag allows Goldson to speak with other teams. An exclusive tag would have prevented him from negotiating with any other teams, while also providing a higher one year salary if he signed the tender. The one year salary for the non-exclusive franchise tag is reported to be $6.2 million, all guaranteed and all hitting the 2012 cap.
Trent Baalke released a brief statement on the issue: "Dashon has been a 49er since we selected in the fourth round of the 2007 draft. By using the franchise tag on Dashon, it affords us the opportunity to continue to work on a long-term contract with him, while also ensuring he will be a 49er for a sixth season, in 2012."
Dashon Goldson acknowledged that he expected to be franchised and has not seemed particularly perturbed by it. He would like to get a long term contract, but it is good that there does not appear to be any visible anger at the decision. Sometimes the franchise tag leads to a player holdout, but that would appear to hopefully not be the case here.

BRAINERD, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has penalized the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system for hazardous waste violations at two schools.
The violations occurred at St. Cloud Technical and Community College and at Central Lakes College in Brainerd.
In St. Cloud, contaminated waste and chemicals from surgical, dental, chemistry and microbiology labs were disposed of in the trash or down drains.
In Brainerd, the marine and small engine repair departments failed to evaluate waste rags to see if they needed to be handled as hazardous waste.
MnSCU paid a $25,700 penalty and corrected violations. MnSCU also is assessing all of its campuses statewide to make sure staff is properly trained in hazardous waste management.
A MnSCU spokeswoman says the system takes its responsibility seriously to properly handle hazardous waste.

Graduate attributes
For students at The University of Sydney, the Faculty of Science experience should be one that builds on their aspirations and provides opportunities for them to develop new ways of thinking; as global citizens, inquiring scholars, and as individuals with a lifelong passion and flair for learning. Our curricula are informed and renewed to foster graduate attributes using the Sydney signature learning experiences of Engaged Enquiry and a rich co-curricular experience.
Graduate Attributes are generic attributes that encompass not only technical knowledge but additional qualities that will equip students to be strong contributing members of professional and social communities in their future careers. The overarching graduate attributes identified by the University relate to a graduate's attitude or stance towards knowledge, towards the world, and towards themselves. The development of these attributes is explicitly focussed on in teaching and assessment in students' formal courses of study at the University. This second level of attributes is described as five clusters of more specific attributes;
- Research & inquiry
- Information Literacy
- Personal and Intellectual Autonomy
- Communication, and
- Ethical Social and Professional Understandings
Faculty of Science Graduate Attributes
The five clusters are interpreted and contextualised in the Faculty of Science statements of graduate attributes.
The graduate attributes developed in individual units of study are described in the unit of study outline housed on the eLearning site. The outline also describes how this development is assessed. Graduate attribute development over a collection of units, such as a major, can be mapped using the Faculty of Science unit of study database.

Review of "Direct Hit"
Main Idea of the Text:
The book is dealing with becoming a leader within the congregation that is able to transition a congregation from unhealthy decline to a vibrant new vision for God's Kingdom.
The Three Top Ideas of Greatest Benefit:
- The best idea of the book was the development of the three teams. There was the prayer team, the vision team, and the implementation team. For a minister to build enough support to push a dying congregation into a new vision, he must build alliances within the congregation that will support the change initiative. Without the proper support, the change will never happen because the minister will be removed or move on before system change is able to take place.
- The second best idea was the information concerning creating and communicating urgency. Most congregations are content with dysfunction. There is a weak desire for growth or development, but mostly this is just talk. Most congregations do not feel that they are broken or ineffective in performing ministry. Also, a lot of preachers and leaders refuse to address the serious issues in a congregation because of the desire to be positive about the congregation. In fact, the congregation will typically tune out a member that seems to critical of a congregation. Congregations prefer to be naïve than to face reality. The "elephant detective" is marginalized in congregations, so the minister must be careful about how he addresses the urgency issues.
- The third best idea is the qualities of a true leader. The characteristics of a true leader are: passion, courage, flexibility, missional, wisdom, positive, and responsible. The greatest of these is the foundation of courage. For a minister to lead a change, he must be strong in his faith and in his skin. He will receive a tremendous amount of resistance and negativity directed towards him. If he is not courageous he will continue to keep the peace as the congregation dies.
The Three Ideas of Major disagreement:
1. The idea of the preacher being the leading fundraiser seems to create a negative perception of the minister. If the minister pushes people too much on the funding elements, but will provide even more resistance to the change process because of the accusation of the preacher wanting a larger salary.
2. The idea of waiting for five years before going through the process is too long. The preacher does not want to make radical changes in the beginning, but in the first year he needs to prove that he is compatible of leading some changes within the congregation.
3. This is not so much a disagreement, but different reality within the churches of Christ. In churches of Christ, the preacher has little if any positional authority, unlike a pastor system in some other religious groups. Some of the material would not translate over well.
The Recommendation of the Book:
This book should be recommended because of the understandable process given in facilitating a change initiative within a congregation.

News Feature | January 31, 2014
TCGA Study Reveals Potential Target Area For Bladder Cancer Treatment
A research study conducted by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network, revealed that specific subtypes of bladder cancer resemble other subtypes of cancers such as those related to the breast, head, neck and lungs; suggesting that these subtypes of cancers may have related routes in their developmental stages. The research also opened up new potential targets for treatment for one of the more prevalent bladder cancers. Statistics show that over 15,000 individuals will die from bladder cancer in 2014 and 72,000 additional cases will be diagnosed this year as well.
TCGA is both managed and supported by both arms of the National Institutes of Health; the National Cancer Institute and the National Human Genome Research Institute. Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D. and Director of NIH stated, "TCGA Research Network scientists continue to unravel the genomic intricacies of many common and often intractable cancers, and these findings are defining new research directions and accelerating the development of new cancer therapies."
The study investigated muscle-invasive bladder cancer, which is the deadliest form of the disease and consists of the cancer entering the muscle tissue of the bladder. The only known treatment for this type of cancer is rigorous and includes surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Currently, there are no second line alternatives for patients with this form of bladder cancer. Dr. John Weinstein, MD, Ph.D., Professor and Chair of the Department of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and lead author of the study expressed his views on the study, "This project has dramatically improved our understanding of the molecular basis of bladder cancers and their relationship to other cancer types. In the long run, the potential molecular targets identified may help us to personalize therapy based on the characteristics of each patient's tumor."
The study was conducted on 131 patients diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, but had not yet been treated with chemotherapy. The team found that there were recurrent mutations in 32 of the studies genes; 9 of which were not previously identified as being significantly mutated. Half of the tumor samples studied were consistent with the TP53 gene having been mutated; the gene that produces the p53, a tumor suppressor protein that aides in the regulation of cell divisions. Mutations were also found in 44% of the RTK/RAS pathways that were investigated; this pathway is associated with the regulation of cell growth and its development.
The research brought forward a new development which showed that there were more mutations in chromatin regarding bladder cancer than any other common cancer, suggesting new targets for therapy. Of all the tumors investigated and studied, 69% of them had potential targets for future therapy.
Seth Lerner, M.D., Professor and Chair in Urologic Oncology, Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, and senior author of the publish research paper concluded, "We've organized our medical care around the affected organ system. We have thought of each of these cancers as having its own characteristics unique to the affected organ. Increasingly, we are finding that cancers cross those lines at the molecular level, where some individual cancers affecting different organs look very similar. As targeted drug agents go through preclinical and clinical development, we hope that rather than treating 10 percent of breast cancers or 5 percent of bladder cancers, it eventually will make sense to treat multiple cancer types where the target is expressed."

This Saturday, August 3, The Korean Zombie Chan Sung Jung looks to become a real-life Rocky Balboa as he challenges Jose Aldo for the UFC Featherweight title in the main event of UFC 163. Join Bloody Elbow Saturday night and all week for UFC 163 coverage.
Zombie will be the clear-cut underdog against pound-for-pound great Aldo, but that's part of what makes this fight great. Ever since his 2010 WEC war with Leonard Garcia, TKZ has developed a huge cult following, largely thanks to his ability to defy the odds while entertaining fans. Here then is a look at a little-known corner of the Korean Zombie mythos - his 2010 professional kickboxing fight for It's Showtime.
At the time of this fight, Zombie had yet to make his WEC and US debut. He was 10-1 and coming off a run in Japan's Sengoku organization that earned him both his nickname and increased exposure. When Europe's top kickboxing organization It's Showtime needed a fighter to take on the highly decorated Muay Thai fighter Pajonsuk, Jung got the unlikely call up. This despite not having any high level pro kickboxing experience to his name, nor being a particularly notable stand-up MMA fighter. Fans expected a slaughter, but as seems to happen with Jung, things didn't go quite as planned.
Watch the full fight video above. Fight starts at the 5:50 mark. And also, consider this your spoiler warning for the rest of the article.
More UFC 163 coverage from Bloody Elbow
Zombie turned in a surprising performance against the heavily favored Pajonsuk, initially appearing to win the fight via spectacular, lights-out KO. Unfortunately, it was not to be, as the spinning back fist is not allowed under It's Showtime rules. Because Pajonsuk was unable to continue, Zombie was disqualified.
Here's Zombie himself explaining the finish and what he was doing in a kickboxing ring in a 2010 interview with Bloody Elbow writer (and #1 TKZ supporter) Dallas Winston:
Tell me your thoughts on the KO of Pajonsuk in "It's Showtime"? Since you often throw the spinning backfist, did the technique just come naturally in the heat of battle?
CSJ: "It is something that I've practiced. Actually, I was talking to my friend Jeffrey, who had come to Prague for the fight, the night before the fight and I was telling him that the spinning backfist might be my only chance to win. I didn't realize that it was illegal at the time. Pajonsuk, is a full on stand-up guy, so I knew I had my hands full in a stand-up bout.
I think a lot of people realized, including myself, that this wasn't my forte. 'It's Showtime!' were for the strongest fighters from Korea at 70kg., but the K-1 tournament in Korea was scheduled for the next month, so most of the stronger stand-up guys were already slated to fight in K-1. I thought it might be a good experience for me, so Coach and I decided to go for it. I do have confidence in my stand-up and want to continue to refine it, so we thought it might be fun."
Though he ended his It's Showtime career just 0-1, this is still another great moment on the highlight reel of The Korean Zombie Chan Sung Jung. I can't wait to see if he creates another memorable moment Saturday night.

Dr. Jim Gude was at his Sea Ranch getaway one recent weekend listening to his Bach collection, walking his dog on the beach and reading two books, all while doing rounds with his laptop at hospitals in Willits, Sebastopol and Healdsburg.
This is the Gude life -- half in the classics and half in the future of what he calls the "paradigmatic change in medicine."
Gude, who has been a big player in the Sonoma County medical community since 1971, makes his current home base at Sebastopol's Palm Drive Hospital, where he's director of the Intensive Care Unit. Most of the time his dog, a mellow Airedale named Oliver, is in the office more than his owner.
Gude is a man who moves fast and talks even faster. No surprise that it takes a robot to keep up.
He believes that a big part of the future of medicine and health care delivery is technology. Right now that's a silver-blue robot topped with an LCD screen filled with the face of a critical care physician or other specialist who could be on the other side of the globe or across town and still do a bedside consultation with a hospital patient in Sebastopol, Healdsburg or other sites.
"I can do this from my kitchen table," said Gude. "I can do this from Starbucks. Isn't that neat?"
In 2006, Gude founded OffSiteCare, a telemedicine company, with his friend and colleague, the late Dr. Lewis Solomon.
The two, who met at Yale Medical School and worked together at Sutter and Memorial hospitals, discussed their ideas over dinners at Hank's Creekside restaurant in Santa Rosa.
"We founded OffSiteCare on napkins," said Gude, who with his friend came up with a way to use robotic telemetry to deliver specialist consultations to smaller facilities.
Gude has placed telemetry robots in the ICUs of Palm Drive, Howard Memorial in Willits and Healdsburg District hospitals. By the end of year, he said, there will be robots at Ukiah Valley Medical Center, Mendocino Coast District and Sonoma Valley hospitals, linking the smaller facilities to specialists 24 hours a day.
