Purpose and Procedures
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Ombuds Office was established by the Office of the Provost in 2003 to provide a confidential, neutral resource for staff and faculty to raise and clarify issues and concerns, identify options, and request assistance to informally resolve workplace conflicts. This document defines the role and responsibilities of the University Ombuds, and serves as a clear and consistent set of operating principles and expectations.
The campus Ombuds Office works collaboratively with the Ombuds in the School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH), who has served those faculty, staff and students since 1998, adding the School of Pharmacy (SOP) in 2006.
Mission statement
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Ombuds Office provides informal, neutral, and confidential services to staff and faculty, for the purpose of resolving university-related problems and concerns. The Ombuds advocate for fairness, equity, and a respectful work environment.
Purpose and scope of services
The Ombuds Office is a place where UW-Madison employees can seek guidance regarding concerns at any time, without fear of reprisal, and at no cost to them. Ombuds confidentially receive questions and concerns related to individual situations as well as broader systemic issues. The response of the Ombuds is tailored to the dynamics of the situation and the nature of the concerns. Ombuds assist parties in reaching resolutions that are consistent with the ideals and objectives of the university. Services offered by the Ombuds Office supplement, but do not replace, other more formal processes available to the university community. In addition, Ombuds serve as a communication resource and catalyst for institutional change for the university by reporting trends and identifying opportunities to enhance policies and procedures. Ombuds cannot impose remedies or sanctions or enforce or change any policy, rule or procedure. Due to the role of the Ombuds, communication with the Ombuds does not serve notice to the University.
More specifically, the Ombuds:
Limitations of ombuds office authority
Ombuds do not have any formal decision-making capability, or the ability to determine "Guilt" or "Innocence" in any matter. Ombuds do not offer legal advice and do not act as an advocate or representative of any individual or entity. Ombuds do not offer psychological counseling. Ombuds remove themselves if or when a grievance is filed.
Standards of practice and code of ethics
Ombuds adhere to the International Ombudsman Association (IOA) Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics. These tenets require that Ombuds function independently of their organization, be confidential and neutral, and limit the scope of their services to informal means of conflict resolution. The IOA Standards and Code are minimum standards, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Ombuds strive to operate to standards of "best practices" and in a way that serves the interests of the university. The Ombuds office maintains membership in IOA and, whenever possible, takes part in IOA national or regional training opportunities. Ombuds maintain consistent policies and procedures which are made available upon request. Ombuds publicize the nature of Ombuds services and explain the ethical standards to each person seeking the services of the office. The essential characteristics of the Ombuds function are Independence, Confidentiality, Informality, and Neutrality.
Ombuds are independent in structure, function, and appearance to the highest degree possible.
Ombuds hold all communications with those seeking assistance in strict confidence. All information exchanged remains confidential except for instances where there appears to be imminent danger to the Visitor or others.
Ombuds do not participate in any formal adjudicative or administrative procedure. Use of Ombuds services is totally voluntary and not a required step in any UW-Madison grievance process or university procedure.
Ombuds impartially consider the interests of all parties involved in a situation, in order to assist the parties in reaching mutually acceptable agreements that are fair and equitable, and consistent with the mission and policies of UW-Madison. An individual Ombuds may decline to assist a Visitor or withdraw from the process if she/he believes involvement would be inappropriate due to conflict of interest or perceived conflict of interest.
Ombuds office structure
The Ombuds Office employs retired faculty and staff who work part-time. Currently (2007) there are four individuals who share one full-time position. Their offices and conference room are located in the Lowell Center, 610 Langdon Street.
The Ombuds report to the Provost through the Vice Provost for Diversity and Climate.
Operating procedures
UW-Madison employees who wish to talk to an Ombuds leave a message on the Ombuds' phone (608-265-9992). The Ombuds rotate full weeks monitoring the phone and responding to calls. Generally Ombuds meet with individuals or small groups in the Ombuds' conference room in the Lowell Center, but are available to meet at other locations when more convenient.
Callers are referred to as "Visitors" to further emphasize the confidential and impartial nature of the relationship. A Visitor's consultation with the Ombuds Office is considered to be voluntary and should not be viewed as a requirement for any grievance process. Employees may visit with the Ombuds during their normal work hours. Under some circumstances, it may be necessary to receive approval to leave an assigned work area. If an employee wants to access services completely confidentially, the employee may consider the use of approved leave, scheduled break time, or visit outside normal work hours.
Each August, the Ombuds submit an Annual Report to the Provost. The report is subsequently distributed to campus leaders and made available to the general university community. The report provides general information about visitor demographics, issues and concerns they have experienced, any trends or patterns observed, and recommendations for improving campus climate for employees.
Record keeping
To protect Visitors' confidentiality Ombuds do not create or maintain documents or records for the university about individual matters. The only information retained from contacts by Visitors is that regarding demographics and types of issues raised. These data are not associated with Visitors' names or any other identifying information such as department or school/college/division.
Receiving notice for the university
The Ombuds Office is not designated by UW-Madison as an entity authorized to receive reports of possible violations of University policies or of unlawful practices. Therefore communications made to the Ombuds regarding possible violations do not constitute notice to UW-Madison. This provision ensures the freedom of Ombuds to work independently and confidentially with individuals seeking assistance.
Ombuds qualifications and appointment process
Ombuds are part-time professional employees of UW-Madison (consultants), appointed by the Provost when vacancies occur.
Important qualifications for ombuds include:
Ombuds are selected from interested retired faculty and academic and classified staff.
In making each appointment, the Provost strives for diverse experiences on campus, and a balance of faculty and staff, and of gender and ethnicity.
When vacancies occur, the Ombuds and Vice Provost for Diversity and Climate initiate a search, publicizing the position and encouraging colleagues to apply. Candidates are interviewed by the Vice Provost and the Ombuds. The Provost makes the final decision based on their recommendations.
The Ombuds for the School of Medicine & Public Health and the School of Pharmacy is appointed by the respective Deans.
The IOA recommends professional training of all new Ombuds. Since the inception of the Ombuds Office in 2003, all Ombuds have undergone a two-day training by a university Ombuds who formerly trained new Ombuds at the annual meeting of the IOA. All new Ombuds have also attended the annual conference of the IOA. Ombuds attend occasional regional conferences. In addition, experienced Ombuds guide new Ombuds as needed.

The State is dismissing the case against a South Bend man accused of murder. James Bond Jr. had been charged in connection to the April 2011 death of Ramon Hamilton.
In a 2011 trial a jury found Bond not guilty of Robbery and Felony Murder, but were 'hung' on the Murder charge.
A new trial had been set for February, but the prosecutors office says they do not think it is any more likely they will get a conviction the second time.
Prosecutors do say that they could re-file charges if new evidence is found later. There is no statute of limitations for the Murder charge.

The Next Refrigerator Perry?
At the recent rookie symposium, Terrence Cody told Steve Wyche not to be surprised if the Ravens use him in offensive goal-line packages next season. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron has already used Haloti Ngata on the goal-line, and it isn't hard to imagine him using Cody in the same way. Terrence Cody played in offensive goal-line sets at Alabama and was very effective in that role.

Wrestling Legend Billy Graham is truly upset with CM Punk and the WWE, so much so that he no longer wants to be in the Hall of fame. Check out if facebook rant below:
I watch the last hour of WWE Raw last night. It was the worst excuse for a show I have ever seen! My agent Scott is tight with legendary World Champion Bruno Sammartino. Scott has told me that WWE has been calling Brunno regularly begging him to go into the Hall of Fame. Bruno has been polite but has always said no thank you.
Tonight on RAW for the last 45 minutes of the show all they did was have CM PUNK talk, talk and more talk! The killer line came when Vince had Punk putting over his 314 straight days as world champ and then said and I quote, " you had people like Burno Sammartino , only wrestled in Madison Square Garden only wrestled one a month."
This was by far the biggest put down of Bruno ever. Why would WWE have Punk say that about someone they have been begging to go into the Hall of Fame for untold years? When that teenager looking CM Punk made that statement he was also talking about me, Ivan Koloff , Stan Hanson etc. Find the re run and listen closely and answer me this my Facebook friends – How can they justify putting down a real icon like this, and not get called out on it?
Any news sites can quote me on my statement below:
CM Punk, I have lost all respect for you for nor saying no to the writers of the WWE for saying Bruno Sammartino only wrestled once a month in Madison Square Garden. You talk about one of the greatest icons ever in pro wrestling like he was a JOBBER??? You should be ashamed of yourself for not having the self-dignity to say NO to the writers on that line. That line you delivered indicates that I am a big loser like Bruno as well and insults me as I wrestled in the same era as Bruno. This only confirms more that I want my name out of the WWE Hall of Fame.
How many monthly sell outs have you yourself drawn at Madison Square Garden? Not a PPV or the Raw TV show. Quit talking trash about Bruno. It's an insult to him and all the wrestlers of his era including myself!
Superstar Billy Graham"
How do you cagesiders feel about his statement? do you agree? sound off in the comments below.

Fall Creek (Press Release) – Beaver Creek Reserve's Citizen Science Center will receive $5,000 from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to help monitor birds.
"Assessing Avian Management on State Natural Areas" was among 21 projects selected for assistance by the Department's 2013-14 Citizen-based Monitoring Partnership Program.
"We're very pleased with the interest, variety and quality of projects proposed," said Owen Boyle, who coordinates the Citizen-based Monitoring Program for DNR. "Those receiving awards will contribute valuable information about Wisconsin's natural resources, support many DNR initiatives, and will help stretch state dollars further."
Through the Citizen-based Monitoring Partnership Program, the DNR works with community and school groups, conservation organizations and other agencies to gather critical information on plants, animals, water and other natural resources. Projects are selected through a competitive review process with projects eligible to receive up to $5,000 in funding per year.
Since it started in 2004, the Partnership Program has helped fund 198 high priority natural resource monitoring projects statewide. More information on the Wisconsin Citizen-based Monitoring Network is available at http://wiatri.net/cbm/.
Beaver Creek Reserve is a special place that serves its mission to connect people with nature. The Reserve is located four miles north of Fall Creek on Highway K.

Props: Mac's MMA
"I was supposed to fight in Toronto against Phil Davis, but I wasn't really happy with [him being] my opponent. When I found out Rampage had no one to fight, Duff Holmes called Joe Silva and said 'Matt Hamill is available, Matt Hamill wants to fight Rampage.' Dana White wanted me to fight anyone in the top ten. Trust me, when I got Rampage, I got very excited. This is the moment I wanted, I'm one fight away from the title. This could be a great fight, it could be a war, it's not going to be easy but when an opponent is ranked better than me it keeps me motivated. May 28, I'll be ready."
What's this? Could it be? Matt Hamill is "one fight away" from challenging for the 205-pound title? Not if Quinton Jackson has anything to say about it in their upcoming fight at UFC 130 on May 28 in Las Vegas. "The Hammer" has quietly strung together five straight wins in the crowded light heavyweight division, but could the stars align and give fans "Jones vs. Hamill 2?" The former Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 3 star was nailed by Johnny "Bones" but walked away with a disqualification win after the top contender got a little overzealous with his 12-6 elbows, currently outlawed in North American MMA. Does Hamill have the chops to get past Jackson, or will the former PRIDE star settle a score of his own and work his way back to a Mauricio "Shogun" Rua rematch? Let the chips fall where they may -- but how do you see this fight unfolding? Opinions, please.

Recently I have started seeing this guy. To keep it simple, he's rich.
He lives in a rented four-storey home that costs $16,000 a month . If you do the math carefully, the daily rent of his place, at $533, rivals the monthly rent of mine, at $550.
He brings me out for lunch, and insists on paying despite me insisting that we split the bill. He brings me home, pops a bottle of white wine, invites me to the private pool, plays a silly game or two with his two labrador retrievers.
He thinks I'm beautiful. When we cuddle I would always ask what makes him like me. He always start with the premise that he is a very picky person. And he rarely invites people over, let alone for stayovers. But he liked me. He thinks I'm sexy, in proportion, kind and charismatic - many things that I never see in myself when I look in a mirror.
I don't know what to feel - should I feel ashamed, and be bothered by what others think? Many people think I'm gunning for his money but no. I'm not. I love him the way he is - funny person with a quirky sense of British humour. We can spend hours watching Little Britain and laughing at the stupid lines of Matt Lucas and David Walliams.
Today he texted me and asked me out of lunch this weekend. I had to politely turn down the offer because I knew, we're going to head to a rather expensive restaurant which (1) I can't afford even if I split the bill and (2) I can't make him pay for me again.
I'm so torn up inside. Part of me feels happy and elated because there is someone - despite the small, insignificant and minute probability - that likes me the way I am and make me feel important, but part of me feels ashamed of myself for being middle class and letting him treat me like a prince (which I am utterly undeserved of).
What do you think?

The Chicago Cubs have received city approval for their $500 million renovation project at Wrigley Field.
But the team's chairman says there is still work to be done to prevent a legal fight between the Cubs and the owners of the rooftops across the street from Wrigley Field.
Team chairman Tom Ricketts said after the Chicago City Council's Wednesday vote that the issues between the team and the rooftop owners must be resolved "once and for all" before construction can begin.
The rooftop owners have a contract with the Cubs that calls on them to pay the team a chunk of their revenues. The owners have threatened to sue if signs the Cubs plan on putting up in the outfield obstruct their views.

A worthwhile project to help take back Doak.
Interesting piece on how a PSU grad student acoustic mapped Beaver Stadium to optimize crowd noise. Would be great if we could do the same and reminded me, there is another thing I'd love to see: Hedges behind the benches and end zones. It would make it feel tighter and more intimate. Fewer gaps and empty brick walls.

OZ Naturals Skin Care's first 40,000 SKU inventory shipment to the GCC has sold out completely, and the company is rushing another 100,000 units to the market
BOCA RATON, Fla., June 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- OZ Naturals Skin Care might be only a year old, but the company's high quality, natural skin care products are flying off shelves at home in the US and abroad. Most recently, the company signed a distribution deal with the largest beauty distributor in the GCC (which covers Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Dubai). The initial order for 40,000 products reached the distributor in May, and sold out by mid-June, prompting a second order of 100,000 units.
"We're very enthusiastic about distribution in the GCC," said president and co-founder Angela Irish. "Not long after we launched the brand in the US, we began receiving interest from thousands of customers in the GCC and it's incredible to see how quickly our initial inventory sold out. This is a good sign that we've followed the proper channels in penetrating new markets outside the US."
To date, the company has sold over 2 million products in the US alone within the space of a single year. While the tremendous surge in demand for the company's products within both the US and the GCC has been a large driver of success, OZ Naturals Skin Care is not resting on its laurels. The company has plans to continue building on its success.
"In the last year, OZ Naturals has experienced explosive growth in the US and it's very exciting to see such a high demand for our products in the GCC," said CEO and co-founder, Craig Romero. "We're looking forward to expanding and serving our loyal customers around the globe. We're also launching in Canada this month, and the UK and Germany within the next 60 days. Because of this expansion, we'll experience a 300% increase in sales by the end of 2014."

The Daily Scope
Watch your temper today. Little things could prove upsetting and petty annoyances could get the best of you. You're particularly prone to losing your cool if you feel that you have too much to do and too little time. Try to pace yourself, prioritize and give yourself permission to let some things wait. Don't worry; you'll get to them later.
Week of April 29–May 5
The planets are promoting peace now. After the recent lunar bombardment, this week is a gentle respite between eclipses (last week's lunar, next week's solar). It invites us to pause and gaze through the air at the opulence of early spring. The stellar advice is short and sweet: Be still and chill!
Venus (the planet of love and abundance) continues to hold court in the lavish and benevolent house of Taurus. Mars (the planet of war and action), determined to woo and win Venus, is charged with seductive ardor. Even the Sun succumbs to the lover's spell, finding solace in the sensuous. The sybaritic stars suffuse our senses, suggesting epicurean entertainments, aesthetic amusements, and romantic enchantments.
On Wednesday, Mercury (the planet of the mind), brimming with frolic and flirtation, enters into Taurus too! Though naturally swift, he slows his pace, surrendering to reverie, content to arrest his thoughts upon the site of beauty. By turns calmly practical and mentally fiery, he is ultimately inspired to sing the praises of his springtime delights: the poetry of love and the magic of the flowers.

Guest Post: The Pros And Cons Of Volunteering Abroad Solo Or With A Group
December 31, 1969
Today's article is brought to you by Tom Hopkins. Tom is Editor in Chief for Minds Abroad, your informed counselor for study abroad and travel programs in China. Learn Mandarin in China and enrich your cross-cultural experience. For more posts and information on places of cultural and historical interest that we take our students to, visit www.mindsabroad.com.
Volunteering overseas has been a popular part of gap year programs and student travel for years. You can travel individually or in groups to countries to help with volunteer projects, and of late, China in particular has been a popular destination both for study abroad and gap year programs.
When planning a trip abroad for a gap year or for academic credit, students usually opt for volunteering worldwide. These programs help students interact with locals and get an immersive perspective of culture and lifestyle. But the big question remains: should you travel alone or in a group?
The answer depends entirely on the individual or group traveling—the following points highlight the benefits of both!
Solo Travel Benefits
There are many factors to take into account before you opt for an individual trip or group tour to China or other volunteer destinations. Someone who has traveled to foreign countries alone may be confident enough to volunteer abroad in a new place on his own—therefore, those with the adventurous spirit can easily sign up for volunteering programs individually.
While traveling with a group, there can be many constraints as the whole group manages projects assigned collectively. An individual trip, however, would allow more control over your day-to-day activities. You can plan daily outings after work, weekly trips, and more—entirely depending on your own needs.
During free time, you can explore the city you are in at your own pace. Depending on your social skills, there are opportunities to interact with locals and help understand the lifestyle and culture better. Such unbridled exploration is otherwise not possible with a group.
And finally, of the most important factors of individual travel is that the trip can be customized entirely in accordance to your needs. You can take up tasks that are best suited to your own volunteering skills. As well, for individual volunteers, you get to work in a team that in all likelihood will comprise of people from different nations or states. Therefore, the global interaction possibility widens considerably.
Group Travel Benefits
Group tours have other benefits that can't be gained from individual travel experiences. Those planning to go on volunteer abroad trips for the first time would benefit from group travel.
These trips are well structured and, with reputable organizations, optimized in accordance to the needs of the group. So, there are no surprises in store and the group can handle any minor unforeseen circumstances easily. This is a perfect solution for school students who are travelling together.
For those who cannot handle a lot of stress, group travel easily allows division of labor, and all tasks become relatively easier. You can work comfortably with people you know, and sharing your experiences becomes easy.
Usually group trips comprise of people from the same institution or community—therefore you get to bond with people you might not have known well earlier and continue to socialize, forming long-term relationships and lasting friendships.
It can be clearly seen that volunteering abroad can be a great learning opportunity both for novices and experienced students—now, how do you prefer to travel?

Dan and Jason are a writing/directing team specializing in pushing the boundaries with their twisted, funny, and absurd cartoons. This award winning, comedy rooted, multi-talented, directing duo knows how to get "it" done. And what is "it" you ask? They've directed major comedic campaigns for numerous U.S. and U.K. brands; successfully created TV and feature projects (their show, Rocket Monkeys, is slated to aired in the Spring of 2013); have properties set up at Twentieth Century Fox as well as a feature animated film for Paramount Pictures; and on top of being successful directors, they are also skilled writers, story tellers, and character designers.
Dan and Jason met in high school drawing comics in the back of the classroom and they never stopped. In all of their work, whether it's a campaign consisting of twenty plus spots or simple hand drawn, animated short, Dan & Jason are still just two wise cracking, smart alecs mixing it up with the same sense of joy they had drawing in their text books all those years ago.
It should also be mentioned that they are charming, sharp, hilarious, amiable, neatly dressed, and slightly insane.

With arthouse nerds (yes, that means us) counting down the seven months until Terrence Malick's "The Tree Of Life" we finally have our first look at official artwork for the film.
Until now, plot details have been kept under wraps, but thanks to the American Film Market kicking off today (and launching 1,001 early art and casting stories), Collider has snapped some early sales art for the film. The artwork is an early poster for the flick, and we'd wager it won't be final. At least we hope not. It's sort of uninspired, and the giant text looks like something geared more for sales than promotion -- after all, that's the point of AFM. But that said, the central tree and illuminated house in the background speaks to the ethereal quality to the upcoming film -- or at least what we grasped from the script (which may or may not end up resembling the pic) -- and we're glad to have an early peek.
The poster was accompanied with a very old synopsis to the film, one that has been kicking around already for a year. But you can check it out after the jump:
From the Desk of Terrence Malick….
We trace the evolution of an eleven-year-old boy in the Midwest, JACK, one of three brothers. At first all seems marvelous to the child. He sees as his mother does with the eyes of his soul. She represents the way of love and mercy, where the father tries to teach his son the world's way of putting oneself first. Each parent contends for his allegiance, and Jack must reconcile their claims. The picture darkens as he has his first glimpses of sickness, suffering and death. The world, once a thing of glory, becomes a labyrinth.
From this story is that of adult Jack, a lost soul in a modern world, seeking to discover amid the changing scenes of time that which does not change: the eternal scheme of which we are a part. When he sees all that has gone into our world's preparation, each thing appears a miracle—precious, incomparable. Jack, with his new understanding, is able to forgive his father and take his first steps on the path of life.
The story ends in hope, acknowledging the beauty and joy in all things, in the everyday and above all in the family—our first school—the only place that most of us learn the truth about the world and ourselves, or discover life's single most important lesson, of unselfish love.
As a reminder, Jack is played by Sean Penn (decades later), with Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain as his parents. There might be dinosaurs somewhere in here too. The picture will hit theaters on May 27, 2011 and the suddenly productive Malick is already shooting his next picture which may or may not be called "The Burial."
Sean | November 4, 2010 6:09 AM
it needs more dinosaurs.
chemicalbrotha | November 4, 2010 2:28 AM
Yeah I noticed that. That makes me even more excited.
zxcvb | November 3, 2010 10:30 AM
"Nothing stands still"? What about post-production on Terrence Malick films?
Ministert | November 3, 2010 9:35 AM
That's the life of the Buddha. Has anyone else picked up on this?

We finally got some great playoff games last night. It's just too bad the teams I really want to win are both down 0-1. I like the Rays chances of coming back but the A's have a steep uphill battle.
This is a feature I plan on doing every weekend. It's simply a place for me to share the best baseball readings I saw from the last week. A premium will be put on anything related to the Cubs.
- Super-smart guy Tom Tango on his Cy Young predictor. He was a perfect 10-10 last year, which says as much about the Cy Young voters as it does about him.
- Also on the topic of voters, here's Joe Posnanski on the four fallacies to which voters historically adhere.
- Sahadev Sharma with a great breakdown of some popular but incorrect narratives of the Cubs' pursuit of Joe Girardi.
- Aaron Fitt of Baseball America on an NCAA study of the differences between college balls and pro balls. As one Twitter user pointed out, it makes Kris Bryant's power seem even more impressive.
- One of my favorite follows on Twitter is Andy Gray, who manages the Sports Illustrated Vault. He shares old SI pictures on his Twitter, and he dug up a couple gems this week.
Can't stop looking at this photo of a Cubs fan in 1975. http://t.co/8dcdcdnvbi—

Memorial Day--Arlington Memorial Gardens and non-profit Cell Phones for Soldiers Inc. are asking Cincinnati residents to help troops call home by donating gently-used cellular phones today. With ongoing deployments to combat areas and elsewhere, as many as 369,000 troops are serving in the U.S. military overseas. By donating gently-used cellular phones to Cell Phones for Soldiers, Cincinnati residents can provide troops with that precious connection to loved ones back home.
Residents can donate their phones to the cause at Arlington Memorial Gardens Reception Center at 2145 Compton Road.
Funds raised from the recycling of cellular phones are used to purchase pre-paid international calling cards. On average, Cell Phones for Soldiers distributes 12,000 calling cards each week to bases around the world, care package programs, deployment ceremonies and VA hospitals.
Donated phones are sent to Michigan-based ReCellular for recycling. For every donated phone valued at just $5, Cell Phones for Soldiers is able to provide two and a half hours of free talk time to deployed troops.

Ken Rosenthal is reporting on Twitter that Jeff Luhnow's first trade as Astros' GM will bring a new shortstop into the fold. According to Rosenthal, reliever Mark Melancon is being sent to Boston for infielder Jed Lowrie and starting pitcher Kyle Weiland.
Lowrie, 27, has been with the Red Sox since 2008. He has played about half of his games at shortstop, and he has played all four infield positions. Lowrie, who made $450,000 in 2011, is in his first year of arbitration eligibility.
Weiland, 25, was drafted in the third round of the 2008 draft by Boston. He made his MLB debut at Fenway Park on July 10, 2011. He made seven appearances for the Red Sox. He also made 24 starts with a 3.58 ERA at AAA Pawtucket last season. Here's what a Red Sox Prospect blog had to say about Weiland.
The Astros acquired Melancon in 2010 in the Lance Berkman trade. He led the club in saves in 2010 with 20.

Just Like Mamma Used To Buy
Posted by Richard Chapman in Humour on December 9th 2011
I had a sudden flash of insight into why some children are such finicky eaters. It's consistency. Modern food is too consistent.
Kids are dubious about new tastes. For good reason – they are born into a world that consists mostly of things you shouldn't put in your mouth. The corollary though is that once they've tried something a few times and found it to be safe, they become keen on that.
That's not a problem with home-made food. Even cooked to the same recipe by the same person, even when prepared by an expert chef, flavour varies. Personally I've never cooked the same meal twice. Hell, my spaghetti sauce rarely comes out the same colour. Not so with prepared foods. To encourage customer loyalty, the inevitable inconsistencies of the natural flavours are drowned out by simpler artificial ones. The only remarkable change in the taste of branded food for the last few decades was when US bottlers of soft drinks switched from cane to corn syrup, and merely swapping between minor variants on the theme of pure sugar almost caused war.
The upshot is that more and more now kids don't develop a tolerance for variation, and so a broader flavour palette. Instead they become convinced that only certain tightly-defined tastes are tolerable.
This occurred to me today because I bought a ginger cake. It's a nice ginger cake. You can really taste ginger, which is good in my book. It's moist and sweet and very traditional. By most objective criteria, I'd be willing to claim that this was an excellent – even an ideal – ginger cake.
But it ain't a McVitie's Jamaica Ginger Cake.
Reader, I was that child.

I know I'm writing about dinner a lot this week, but it's really not my beat. I have friends – Domestigeek, Zucchini and Aubergine – who blog about food far more entertainingly than I ever could. Because they write better? I would deny that of course. But they sure as hell eat better.
OK, the days are over when I regarded beer as the staple and takeaway fried chicken as the health supplement. Seriously, I lived that way for years. Well, I say lived. Nowadays I'm a reformed character, all fruit and nuts and vegetables and cereals. But though my diet is healthy, it's still not really interesting. There is only so much you can say about bran.
Today though was an exception. Today, I ate iridescent shark.
This is not a 60s band from San Francisco, it's a type of catfish farmed extensively in Southeast Asia. I understand it's fairly common in the US where it's often called tra or swai, but it's pretty much unknown here and was being offered under its taxonomic name pangasius. At an introductory price of just one euro a fillet too – but really, they had me at the Latin.
Even better, the place was about to close so she gave me the remaining four for the price of two. Mushrooms also being on special offer, I bought a punnet and grilled the whole lot together with butter and just a cheeky sprinkling of mélange d'herbes. The fish was pleasantly unusual. A little earthy, though not so much as catfish usually is, but quite sweet and fatty as well. I didn't think I could eat four of them, but it was just exactly enough to make me feel sinfully stuffed. And all for three euro.
My cooking tip of the day then: Buy weird-looking fish they're about to throw out.
And Now For Some Random Facts
Posted by Richard Chapman in Humour on July 24th 2011
Jell-O is the official state snack of Utah. This is the sort of thing you could make up and people would believe it, but in this case it happens to be true.
Vegetables and fruit served in savoury jelly is sometimes called "congealed salad", possibly the worst name ever given to something you expect another human being to eat.
Jell-O and other brands of jelly are made of collagen extracted from the boiled bones, connective tissues, organs and some intestines of animals such as cattle and horses. Though contrary to popular belief, there are no hooves in it.
So that's a relief then.

Yale's Architectural Growth
With important architectural contributions by Louis Kahn, Paul Rudolph, Eero Saarinen, Gordon Bunshaft, Phillip Johnson, and many other noteworthy architects, Yale University is no stranger to design. In fact, the school is often thought of as a sort of living museum of architecture. Today, this tradition continues. Not only does the University commission new buildings, they also have a healthy respect for their own history and constantly work to preserve their architectural landscape. So it's with one eye toward the past and one eye firmly set on the future that Yale University is stressing sustainable restorations and building practices. Four projects, in various stages of completion, embody this new and responsible approach to campus design: The restorations of the David S. Ingalls Rink and Stoeckel Hall, the recently built Kroon Hall, and the new sculpture studio and art gallery.
Designed in 1956 by Eero Saarinen, the swooping concrete roof of the Ingalls Rink has earned it the local nickname "The Yale Whale." The building is now in the final phase of a multimillion dollar restoration by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates that includes the addition of Low-E insulating glass and other changes designed to address the effects of the environment.
Built in 1897, Stoeckel Hall was designed in an eclectic mix of styles that ranged from the Gothic to the Federal. Its renovation and new addition provides an expanded and up-to-date facility for the School of Music.
The "ultra green" new building uses 50% less energy than comparable structures and is expected to achieve a LEED Platinum rating. The school was sited and designed by Hopkins Architects of Great Britain to take advantage of passive heating and cooling and will use sustainable environmental systems when necessary. Other sustainable features include a 100-kilowatt array of photovoltaic panels, solar-heated water, a rain harvesting system, and the use of post-industrial recycled concrete mix as well as sustainably farmed wood from local forests.
Another recent sustainable additional to the campus is the Yale University School of Art. The 55,000 sq ft sculpture studio and 2,800 sq ft gallery is a beautiful integration of beauty, function, and sustainability. Contributing to these three characteristics—including the LEED Platinum rating— is the studio's triple-glazed curtain wall and accompanying sun-shading system. Native landscaping and a green roof frame the Kieran Timberlake-designed structure, which is kept comfortable by a displacement ventilation system. The sculpture studio has become a new center of activity for the School of Art.

Breast Lift
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, David P. Rapaport, MD is in private practice in Manhattan, New York and has been performing breast lift plastic surgery for over twenty years.
Breast lift surgery elevates and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin, raising the remaining skin and tissue, and repositioning the nipples. Breast lift surgery helps patients achieve a more attractive, feminine shape and contour, and more proportionate areolas.
Breast augmentation with breast implants is often part of the breast lift procedure. In fact, many women seek out Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, David P. Rapaport MD for his ability to achieve a natural appearing breast lift often with breast implants alone, placed via a small underarm scar, using his specialized endoscopic technique.
Why is breast lift plastic surgery performed?
- To lift sagging or droopy breasts
- Restore the contour of the breast after pregnancy or nursing
- To lift the breast after loss of breast volume, or weight changes
- Correct asymmetries in the breast
How long is the breast lift plastic surgery procedure? Usually 1-3 hours are needed for breast lift surgery. Time requirements can vary from case to case.
Where will my breast lift procedure be performed? Your breast lift plastic surgery procedure will be performed in Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, David P. Rappaport's Manhattan, New York fully accredited surgical facility.
What are the side effects from the procedure? What should I expect? Breast lift side effects can include temporary discomfort, bruising, and swelling. Breasts may be temporarily numb, or the skin may be dry. All patients wear a surgical bra home from surgery, and have dressings over the incisions for about 2-3 weeks
How long with the results last? Breast lift plastic surgery results can last permanently. However, aging, gravity, and weight changes can also alter the results and create need for eventual breast lift revision.
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, David P. Rapaport, MD will meticulously evaluate your breasts during your consultation at his Manhattan, New York office to determine if a breast lift procedure is appropriate or if a simple breast augmentation would be a better surgical option. The plastic surgeon will discuss the eventual breast shape and size, and give you an idea of what you can realistically expect after breast lift surgery.
If you have questions concerning breast lift plastic surgery or would like to schedule a consultation with the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, please phone David P. Rapaport's Manhattan, New York Plastic Surgery office at 212.249.9955 or email the doctor at firstname.lastname@example.com

As soon as the name Sawan Kapoor was announced, there was a sudden delight on every face in the audience, as Sawan was the only business speaker at TEDx Chennai 2012. The audience had anxiously been waiting for this session.
In his talk on transformational change, after creating the base where he introduced the power of failure as a transformational tool using Michael Jordan's career statistics, he went on to connect what were three rather seemingly disjointed premises into a beautifully structured speech.
He introduced these concepts "Saying what does fire, expectation and fish have to do with transformational change in business?"
As he began to fill in the blanks, it was easy to see why the audience was so gripped.
For the first concept he spoke about how transformational change works best when we create a context for it, and then present a triggering event, like fire in a building to get people behind the change campaign. The second concept talked about you get what you expect, using a sports analogy this message hit home with strength and had a call to action, asking the audience to take stock of what they expected from their colleague as they go to work the next day. Concept three talked about fish and how they rot from the head first since most of their organs are concentrated around the head, much like organizations – if the management team is only going to talk the talk and not walk the walk – it is a recipe for failure.
A standing ovation at the end was the only fitting response to what had been a 14 amazing minutes for a receptive audience.
Jana Stanfield steps on to the stage with the highest applause and hearty welcome from the Audience. The response from the audience proves how much she is being loved by Chennai and TEDx Community .
Jana Stanfield started by mentioning that women have the power to bring peace in the world.
If women help each other across the globe, there will be a great posiive change.
On hearing this idea, many women in India told her, "If you can bring your women from US, we will surely help them live a better life".
Jana did admit to the fact that India has got thousands of years of wisdom and spirituality than US.
She sang a song in different style with a Tabla artist accompanying her. Audience performed with her giving her a standing ovation and singing it along with all their passion.
The lines of the song goes, "I cannot do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all the good that I can do" !
I can assure that everyone who are here will never forget this song for the rest of their lives !
Such an exciting and awesome performance by Jana Stanfield . Even after her speech his complete ,i can feel her song still ringing inside everyone's heart and it will be continuing without an end .
This speech / performance has certainly enriched the show to the core !!
Joyce Rommelaar, Success Coach and Motivational Speaker(Netherlands)
Joyce Rommelalar inspired many teenagers at TEDxChennai
Joyce presented a oral statistics that the teens of today spend more than two and a half hours on the internet and more than an hour on facebook every day.
The teens of today connect with virtual firnds, they do not know how to really connect with people when they meet them in person.
They have an isolated inner voice. Face-face communication has become a challenge for today's teenagers.
Be the star of your own life. Have as much life contacts as possible aa you can rather than using social media for everything Life contact is a key to success!
An adice I would give to parents of today is never have the TV, mobile phone or computers in the bedrooms.They should be only in the living room. So that you know what your kids are doing on the internet or on the phone which will ensure that the child is not doing anything unadvisable.Bedrooms are only for chraging yourself and not to charge your laptop or mobile phones. This helps the family to interconnect.
Even while exchanging your business cards with someone, write something on the card and give them, so that they never forget you and you remain connected with them.
Romeo Marquez Jr., the much awaited speaker of the day. When he came in, it was nothing but magic. The amazing energy and passion he had ignited the entire audience with fire. He reminded me of Steve Jobs. Romeo states that we have ideas to play with implement. They define life. Talking about life, we all have a metaphor of life. For few it is a roller coaster ride, for some it is a video game. Life, to Romeo, is a motion picture. We all have stories to tell. Everyone is a storyteller. We are the directors, writers, and music composers of our lives. We add the music that soothes us and remove the one that doesn't. Life is as simple as that. What a simple yet profound thought. This can change your life forever obstacles gonflables.
Romeo was student of acting and now teaches acting as well. Acting to him is like reading human behavior. It was the art and depth of story telling. He loved his childhood. He used to play a lot of games and when you found nothing to do, he would make games and play all by himself. Despite all this, he was put down, judged, criticized, failed, and rejected because of his color and eccentricity. As a result, he was more concerned about what would people think about him. He worked, achieved his goals and traveled all around the world. Yet, he felt so incomplete. He got involved in a lot of self development courses otherwise the self-help phase. He read it as a script, analyzing it the same way as he would analyze human behavior. He constantly got himself involved in self-development talks to stay in the right frame of mind.
His profession took him to a lot of places and he had happened to meet a lot of people. Though each person might be different, but there is something common between all of us and that is "to change one thing in life". We all want to take a shift, make changes.
Once, when he went to meet his nephew, he learnt the most profound theory. His nephew was playing all by himself and when asked what he was doing, he claimed to be playing an imagination game. Romeo was baffled. Then his nephew explained that he has a body angel and mind angel who helped him imagines stuff. As we grow up, we need to ask ourselves is "how much of our imagination are we utilizing? " Imagination is the biggest playground that we have. Play your heart out and there you are living out of the shell. Things we do, slowly, start to become a routine. This shells us up in a box where our imagination is blocked. Open up, express, live with passion. Life is living in full expression. Don't die with the music in you. Don't let yourself settle down without using your passion, talents and imagination to the fullest. Our goals can be achieve by stepping out of our comfort zone.
World is not a dark place as people claim it to be. Passions and talents serve as a source of light. Light them up, world will never be darker any longer.
The little dance that Romeo performed for the audience soared up the energy levels though it was the end of the day. His passion ignited the passion in us.

Technology Entrepreneur, Speaker & Author
Prabakaran Murugaiah started off with the words in Tamil, telling the people of Chennai, nothing is as good as getting back to his place and talking to his natives
He hails from a village near Thirunelveli. Now he his the CEO of the company corp-corp based in US.
He said "Passion, persistance and patience are the keys to success"
His passion for Mathematics in childhood inspire his Maths teacher at school. From this, he learnt that passion can inspire others too.. If you have passion you can exceed expectations. Your passion will create opportunities for yourself and others.
Prabakaran has participated in aMarathin with his wonded leg. He was fine for first 3 mils after which his knee started aching badly. Still he completed his Marathon. He remarked that even runing a company is like running a marathon
Go for a extra mile to make your company go leaps and bounds. Have enormous courage to take an extra mile
Prabakaran said that he learnt patience from his spouse.
A parent, a media entrepreneur, an actor and a cancer survivor. We have seen her in the movies. We have seen her win awards and live her star studded life. What happens behind the four walls of stardom, we don't know! Here is the story what happens behind the scenes. Gauthami was born in a family of academicians. Parents both were doctors and her brother in the IT field. Naturally, she went ahead to study engineering. On the first day when asked upon what she her plan ahead was, she mentioned she wants to complete engineering and pursue an MBA in international business. She had everything planned and charted out. Her life was like a map, filled with paths and directions towards one goal. Suddenly one cameo offer changed her life forever. After giving it a thought, she went ahead and did it. One month of college passed away and later on a lot of offers came around. Her mother, a very wise woman, explained her that "when life gives you opportunities go ahead and grab them. Because, you might discover an entire new world. If you don't like it, you can always come back." And when she started discovering the world of films, she loved it. That was the place she always wanted to be and would be. Nothing else would have given her the pleasure and satisfaction that this world had given her. Life never goes as we plan it to be. Everything is unexpected. That is the beauty of life. Take life as it goes, you never know what you would love what it has to offer.
Life went on and she got married. She gave birth to a child who just turned 13 last week. As mother
she started taking control and pushing her child to do what she thought was the best for her. One
day, she realized that she was not the kind of mother that her mother used to be to her.
"Be who you need to be. Set goals, find your path. Be true to yourself". That was the lesson she learnt and shared with us today at TEDxChennai.
"When she was diagnosed with cancer, Why me?- she thought. Why me?- when I haven't done anything to have caused it?". Cancer taught her that world is a beautiful place. We all are attached to the threshold of something very beautiful and powerful, that is, LIFE. Life might throw a lot of difficulties. Try to find meaning in them. Live life with passion. Today is important. Living in the present with responsibility and living life as it comes to you is the essence of life. Life is a beautiful thing.
Live, Laugh, Love.
5 uninvited guests
Here is a brief article about 5 uninvited guests and how to overcome them , by Puja Gupta !!
challenge to success . In everone's life there are two types of zones.
The first one is the comfort zone . Most of us are in this zone.
The second one is the miracle zone . The zone where everyone wishes to be .
The third zone is intermediate to both of these zones. The uninvited guests are present in this zone ! They are :
Mr.Overwhelm – these three know our weakness
Mr.Dreamstealer – they make us feel guilty and annoying. Parents intervention on future of their children students ! we give
away our dreams through this.
Mr.Challenge – a way of checking , how commited we are to our dreams.
They maybe uninvited , but they are expected as we continue on with any process !
Here are 5 solutions for these uninvited guests
These 5 solutions gives us courage and help us overcome these uninvited guests !
Carol Talbot is one of the Amazon's best selling author, coached people in some of the fortune 500 companies.
Successful people do things different inside their head. You have to discover your inner leader to be successful in life.
Talk within yourself to make things clear. What you think becomes a reality.
You cannot think about what you do not want to think about without thinking about it.
Say things the way you want it to work
So instead of saying "Do not shut the door forcefully", tell them "Please close the door".
Keep telling positive things in your mind, so that you are successful in what you want to do!
"I love to build robots ", the Beginning words !!
He feels proud to be an engineer.
He started his speech saying that "It takes anyone 2- 3 years and 25,000$ to build a robot .
Following on , he spoke on the perspective of educational institutions such as universities .
universities teach knowledge – Dexterity develops as students work when they study
But what the students really require is to understand the concepts of these knowledge !
context based learning is necessary . This creates awareness of what you know. if you can understand , you get an experience .
He followed on with a practical experiment based on the formula : F=pA (F : Force ; p= rho )
With a single straw and a piece of paper , he made us understand three concepts in an effective way !
1 – air moves things
2 – hiting things hurts – F = the force
3 – p(rho) = Go harder
why does this work ?
lemon and a knife – brain provides information of how the body should change
Expanding reality – NO LIMITS
students provided results by practically building robots within a guaranteed amount of time !
On the 30th of September, sitting in the auditorium, I knew what is it like to be a "ROCKSTAR". We all can become anything we want to, all we need to do is have the passion and rock our roles. This is what Kristi Stab had ignited us at TEDx. Like everyone else, she had dreams too. They changed from being a sports reporter to baseball player and as she grew up she wanted to be a "Rockstar". Rock and roll inspired her all her life. She would stand in front of the fireplace and sing aloud like a rockstar. People constantly would tell her that she wasn't good enough. She kept trying and trying and ended up singing 6 single choirs thinking she would be a rockstar someday. After a point, she just gave up. But her passion music and sports had never ended. She worked as a radio reporter under sports and entertainment genre and she rocked it like a rockstar. Her work included her passion and to others around her she was a rockstar. Robert Downey Jr. wished her for her 23rd birthday. Isn't she really a rockstar? To me, she is. With passion and doing the best in whatever you do, you are a "rockstar'.
There is one amazing incident she mentioned that had happened to her, which changed not only her point of view but ours as well. One fine day she entered "starbucks" which is the CCD of the other countries. She placed her order in a fancy tone like we all do. The waitress diligently took her order and asked her "what's your name?'. Kristi thought For a moment and said "rockstar". The waitress was dazed and as she looked up she asked "Sorry, but is that your birth name". Kristi nodded her head and waited for her coffee. As the waitress called out her order and name, the entire crowd there was like "rockstar? ". They were baffled and this awed Kristi. That one name made an instant connection with the audience out there. They hi-fied and the crowd screaming their hearts out by chanting "rockstar, rockstar, rockstar". Yes, like how it happens in the concerts, indeed. Kristi, at that moment felt like a real rockstar and still is a real rockstar.
Today, Kristi has given the secrets to become a rockstar. A rockstar is not only the one who plays music and does head banging and stuff like that. A rockstar is someone who has innate passion, dedication and rocks their roles like no one could do it better than them. A rockstar has to make this instant connection; they need to create a sense of feeling alive. To lead like a rockstar on the outside, you need to lead on the inside. When you embody yourselF as a rockstar, you serve to do the best out of everything you possibly can.
Rockstars are self directed. Self respect is a paramount to them. They have a clear purpose and values and direct themselves towards them. They embody excellence. They are responsible for things they do and things they don't achieve in life as well. They are initiators. They create paths and directions for others to follow. They believe in action. They are altruistic. They combine passion and social responsibility which is directed towards better humanity. They believe in creating lasting relationships. Their friends and relatives around them have the best possible life they could. They are highly sought after. Rockstars hangout with rockstars. They stick on with people they could probably learn from and are comfortable with. They put in their trust in them. Finally, Rockstars "ROCK" their roles. They rock it with passion, enthusiasm and excitement. You can become a rockstar. Actually, anyone can become a rockstar. All we have to do is still have hopes, dreams and passion and the feeling that you can carry the world on your shoulders. Invest in yourself. The best investment anybody can ever make. To live like a rockstar, all we have to do is rock our roles.
Inspire, Ignite, Rock.

Looks like Ime is gone and we have Jones instead. Aren't they similar players?
Don't they have similar drawbacks as mid-career players not expected to start on a championship team? Don't they both "take time away from players we want to develop"?
The projected offense starts with a pick-and-roll set of Blake to LMA/Oden/Frye. Roy creates on the weak side. Our SF needs to use his range, like Ime did, to draw the defense away from the key. What does the change to Jones offer the Blazers that Ime did not?

Slow Cooker 15 Bean Soup
Confession: when my husband first told me about his mom's 15 Bean Soup, I actually wondered why on earth anyone would make a soup that required buying 15 different bags of beans. Please tell me I'm not the only one who thought this! In case I'm not, there is actually a bag of beans at the store called "15 Bean Soup". Although, funny enough, when I bought mine last week they only had a "16 Bean Soup" bag. Either way, it's quick and simple to throw in the crockpot and have a hearty dinner with little effort. Double the recipe for leftovers- my husband says it's always better the second day!
Slow Cooker 15 Bean Soup
Katie @ onceamonthmeals.com
- 13.33 ounces 15 Bean Soup mix, rinsed but unsoaked
- 5.33 ounces ham, cubed
- 7 ounces diced tomatoes with green chiles (Rotel)
- 6.67 ounces beef broth
- 0.33 teaspoon salt
- 0.67 teaspoon pepper
- 0.67 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.67 teaspoon garlic powder
Place all ingredients into the crockpot. Add water until there is half an inch covering the beans. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. Add water as needed.
Freezing Directions:
Prepare soup as directed. Allow to cool and then portion into freezer bags- quart for lunch sized portions or gallon for dinner sized portions. Label and freeze. To serve: reheat in microwave for 1-2 minutes or on stovetop for 7-9 minutes until warmed through.
Servings: 4

My husband adores this soup! We add 2 bags of frozen veggies of our choice to bump up the nutritional value. So yummy!
Recipe looks great. I have used the recipe on the bag of beans. Once when making it I dumped everything in the crockpot and the beans didn't soften. Cooked for days. Read somewhere that the acid in tomatoes make the beans unable to soften. Never tried it again. Wondered if you ever had this problem.
I don't often comment, but have gotten some great recipes from your site. Thanks.
Sometimes your water can make a difference in cooking time…use bottled water
Megan, you received some great advice, here. You should always consider pre-soaking your beans whether you cook them in a slow cooker or stovetop method. I'm not sure about the tomato acidity issue you shared, but I can tell you that using this recipe or other 15 or 16-bean soups do great when you dump everything (yes, including your diced tomatoes,) into your pot and cook it all together for about 2+ hours. Hope this helps.
P.S. Because I like lots of flavor, I also use a smoked ham shank with about 2 smoked hocks. Much better flavor, and definitely better the 2nd day, says my family. Served with hot rice and homemade cornbread and/or Jiffy and you've got a super, huge hit. Good luck!
*Southern Cooking Gal, Ambrosia*
I also read about tomatoes affected cooking time because I had the same issue with a lentil chili I was making. Now I wait until the lentils are cooked before adding tomatoes and it works better.
I soaked overnight. I chopped up celery, onions and 1 tbs of minced garlic and sauteed then placed in crockpot. I used chicken broth and chicken soup base. I seasoned two chicken thighs (skin and bone)with garlic powder and boiled in chicken broth with some chopped celery, onion and garlic. Let cook for 30 minutes covered then removed skin from the chicken and placed broth and chicken in crock pot and allowed to cook through. The taste is awesome. The marrow and the dark meatfrom the chicken thigh make the difference.

Inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 signaling by toceranib phosphate (Palladia)
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to determine whether Palladia is capable of inhibiting JAK activity in tumors in dogs.
Toceranib (Palladia) is an orally administered anti-cancer drug that works by blocking the signaling of several cell receptors involved in both tumor growth and new blood vessel formation. Since its approval in 2009, Palladia has been used to treat a variety of solid tumors in dogs. Activity has now been demonstrated in several forms of carcinomas, including nasal, squamous cell, thyroid and anal gland anal sac tumors. The basis for this activity is not entirely known, but a recent study indicates that Palladia may be inhibiting a protein called JAK2 in tumors, particularly carcinomas, and may be responsible for some of the anti-tumor activity observed in these tumors. We investigated whether Palladia could inhibit phosphorylation of JAK2 in canine tumor cell lines and found that it does inhibit this protein in the laboratory setting. These data support the notion that Palladia may exert some of its biologic activity in solid tumors via combined inhibition of JAK family members.
Inclusion criteria
To qualify for enrollment in this study, dogs must have:
- Histologic or cytologic or histologic diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma (biopsy or needle aspirate).
- Measureable disease must be present.
- Generally feeling well (i.e. eating, drinking, ambulating on their own, etc.)
- Not received any prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
- Adequate organ function as indicated by standard laboratory tests (complete blood count, serum biochemistry profile, urinalysis).
Study Design
To accomplish this, we will evaluate JAK phosphorylation before and after Palladia treatment. Eligible dogs with squamous cell carcinoma will undergo a tumor biopsy prior to Palladia therapy. Palladia will then be administered every other day at home for 7 days (4 doses), at which time a second biopsy will be performed on Day 7. Should a tumor response be noted (stable disease or tumor shrinkage) during the 7 day period, Palladia (provided at no charge for 6 months) can be continued until a response is no longer noted.
Client Compensation
The costs associated with obtaining the two biopsies and the Palladia treatment will be covered by the clinical trial, all other costs will be at the responsibility of the owner. In addition should a tumor response be noted Palladia will be provided for 6 months post study completion at no charge until a response is no longer noted or the 6 months are completed. A onetime $500 credit will be given at the completion of the study to be used at The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center for further treatments. All other costs are at the responsibility of the owner.

Such a cool professor. He's 87 years old and has worked in the utilities industry forever. His expertise on the subject is unmatched. His lectures are freaking hilarious, too. I enjoyed the course so much I decided to take his winter energy economics course. Highly recommended.
Proffesor Mike He is very interesting proffesor.He is very old about 85 always talks about in the past Looool, and you have to attend the class because everything from the lecture. I highly recommend this proffesor.
Energy Economics - loved this guy. He's 85 years old so he speaks his mind. He has a knowledge of the field that is infinite, but likes to tell jokes and talk off-topic occasionally. Very adamant in his beliefs (probably because he's right). Don't be one of those annoying people and try to argue, just sit back, shut up, and soak in the knowledge.
Professor Katz is a credible, entertaining asset to the PSU econ department. Despite having taught for like 50 years, he is still obviously enthusiastic about the subject and does cool things like get actual professionals to come guest-lecture. Midterm and final only, which I am not a fan of.
Mike Katz is amazing. He has decades of experience to back up everything he teaches. He is one of the most interesting lecturers I have had and I will be taking him again next term. I wish he taught more than two classes. Only two exams. You do need to know the material though and he tells you exactly what is going to be on the final.
Katz is a gem of the economics department at PSU. He's 83 years old, but more spry and sharp than I could ever hope to be. His lectures are spot on with his tests, so just show up and you're fine. The texts are amazing, but really only needed if you're passionate about the subject. Also if you like jokes Katz is the best, his lectures are hilarious
A letter of rec from this guy got me my job before I was even graduated. If you've ever thought about working in the energy industry, take a class from this guy and you won't regret it.
Very good professor!
