In the Arboretum you'll occasionally see a turtle or two sunning themselves on the sides of the creek. There are actually quite a few turtles in the creek. Really any permanent pond or stream in Davis has a lot of turtles in it and if you know what to look for you'll probably spot them. The cool looking stubby ones with the tails are the native Western Pond Turtles and the more commonly seen stripey ones are the prolific and invasive Red Eared Sliders. They will hiss at you and are pretty ornery little bastages
Many of the Arboretum turtle resident's are actually former pets of the Red Eared Slider variety. On a fairly annual basis Professor Brad Schaffer a Herpetologist in the Evolution and Ecology program traps out the non-native turtles, if you would like to adopt one and will promise never to release it back to the wild contact his lab. A study by the Schaffer lab has a discovered a sizable population of native Western Pond Turtles too, but the presence of rapidly growing non-native competition and the lack of dispersal sites puts into question the viability of population. Paper on the topic http://www2.eve.ucdavis.edu/shafferlab/pubs/SpinksBioCons2003.pdf
Maybe someone could start catching and selling or eating the Red Eared Sliders?

NEW YORK - For the safety tests of small SUVs, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ran 13 of them into rigid barriers where only a corner of the front gets crushed on impact missing the absorbing structure of the front and everything gets pushed inward.
Intrusion that's often deadly for occupants in what's called a small overlap front crash.
The Institute's Joe Nolan says only one of the 13 small SUVs earned its overall rating of good, the 2014 Subaru Forester.
Only one other small SUV actually passed the test, the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport received a rating of acceptable.
While the other eleven had poor ratings in at least one of the test categories, and received an overall rating of marginal like Nissan's Rogue.
A spokesman said Nissan's proud of the Rogue's safety record and its good rating in other Institute tests and will continue to review these and other results to seek opportunities for improvement.
While a Chrysler/Jeep spokesperson said the patriot meets or exceeds government requirements was still a top safety pick of the Institute and received four out of five stars from federal safety experts.

Watching What Your Kids Watch on TV
Hammonds said she watches the shows with her daughter and offers running commentary such as when one of the "ANT's" gets bullied by one of the high school kids.
"We'll be watching a show and I'll say, 'That girls not very nice,' and she'll say, 'Yeah, I know,'" Hammonds recounted. Simaya watches one to two hours of television a day and her mother wonders if it's too much.
Simaya tunes in far less than her peers, according to a study by the Kaiser Family Foundation. Black children spend nearly six hours a day in front of the television, almost 50 percent more than White children (3.5 hours). The foundation study disclosed that 84 percent of Black youth ages 8-18 had televisions in their bedrooms and 78 percent said that the TV stays on during meals. Only 64 percent of White children reported having televisions in their bedrooms and only 58 percent watch while they eat.
"We can't deny the fact that media has an influence when [Black children] are spending most of their time – when they're not in school – with the television," said Nicole Martins, a telecommunications professor at Indiana University.
Martins and Kristen Harrison, a professor of communication studies at the University of Michigan, authored a study that looked at children's television viewing habits and self-esteem.
The study, published in Communication Research, found that when children spend more time watching TV, they're self-esteem plummets. That was true for boys and girls of all races. The only group that seemed to benefit from more TV was young, White males.
While roles for women are often one-dimensional and focused on their looks, Black males are often criminalized or seen as buffoons. According to Martins, this tells young Black boys that there's not a lot of good things to aspire to.
"If we think about those kinds of messages, that's what's responsible for the impact," Martins said.
The negative portrayal of Black men on television often has far-reaching consequences.
Research by Clifford Nass and Byron Reeves at Stanford University suggests that people often respond to others based on past cues they received from media because our interactions with computers, television, and new media have become more social and natural.
Thomas Ford, a former psychology professor, at Western Michigan University, found that Whites are more likely to make negative judgments about Blacks they encounter in real life when they are exposed to negative stereotypes on television. Earlier research found that 50 percent of White children said that television is their primary source of information about Blacks.
So where are the positive Black role models on television? Surprisingly, commercials.
Black youth are exposed to more advertising than Whites even when the amount of television they watch is factored in. The ads targeting Black children are often populated by Black athletes, musicians and celebrities and offer more positive images than what they see in the news or on prime time television shows.
The Yale University Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity reported that Black children and teens were exposed to at least 80 percent more ads than White children, and twice as many advertisements in 2010 for the 5-hour energy drink, Vitamin Water and Sprite.
"Our children are being assaulted by these drinks that are high in sugar and low in nutrition," said Kelly Brownell, director of the Rudd Center at Yale. "The companies are marketing them in highly aggressive ways."
This direct targeting has had a startling impact on the eating habits and health of Black children. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CD), 22.4 percent of Black children ages 6-17 were obese compared to 17.4 percent of White kids. •
Recently, the Walt Disney Co. announced plans for stricter food advertising rules across all of its media platforms in an effort to curb the amount of high fat, high sugar ads children see during shows on its channels and Web sites.
The new standards are slated for the company's 2015 programming.
"This is a significant advance by Disney," Brownell said in an interview with USA Today. "With their reach and credibility, the tight nutrition standards they have set for specially designated foods will touch millions of children."
To combat the influence and the negative impact of poor TV viewing habits, Merritt suggests that more parents follow Hammonds' example by limiting the number of hours kids spend in front of the TV screen and actively engage in discussing what they're watching.
"The parents should pick the shows that [their children] watch and talk to them about what they're watching," Merritt said. "You just can't use [television] as the babysitter. Parents have to work hard, you have to channel all this energy that your children have into doing what you think is best for them."

Commercial Space Company XCOR Announces R&D Headquarters in Texas
Gov. Rick Perry joined XCOR Aerospace and the Midland Development Corp. to announce the creation of XCOR's new Commercial Space Research and Development Center headquarters at the Midland International Airport. XCOR develops and produces reusable launch vehicles, rocket engines and rocket propulsion systems, and will create 100 jobs at this new facility.
"This is a great day for Midland and a huge step forward for the State of Texas. Visionary companies, like XCOR, continue to choose Texas because they know that innovation is fueled by freedom," Gov. Perry said. "Whether on the cutting edge of biotech, communications, commerce or privatized efforts to serve the needs of the next generation of space explorers, you can find Texas at the forefront of the movement."
XCOR's new headquarters will focus on development of the Lynx, the company's next generation reusable launch vehicle. Lynx is a two-seat suborbital vehicle that takes off and lands like normal aircraft. The vehicle will carry a pilot and one spaceflight passenger, and will provide affordable launch services for academic, scientific and engineering markets.
"We are pleased to be establishing our R&D Center in Midland, Texas, where the weather, surrounding landscape, the airport, and the local & state government environment are ideally situated for the future growth and the ultimate realization of a fully reusable orbital system," Andrew Nelson, chief operating officer of XCOR Aerospace, said. "With future suborbital operational sites on the East and West Coasts of the United States and around the world, plus a manufacturing and test facility geographically separate from our R&D facility, Midland will truly be at the heart of XCOR's innovation engine."
"We are elated to welcome XCOR to Midland and to the state of Texas. The Permian Basin is a proud and industrious area where we have developed and maintained the leadership, infrastructure and highly capable work force that will support the further development of XCOR systems," Rep. Tom Craddick said. "With the announcement of the new XCOR research and development headquarters being built in here, Midland will soon be known world-wide not just as a leader in oil and gas industry, but also as a trailblazer in the aerospace industry."
"The decision to establish XCOR's R&D Center Headquarters in Midland came after intense competition from other locations," Midland Development Corp. Executive Director Pam Welch said. "Once the technical and operational needs of XCOR were met, the final factors influencing the decision to locate R&D to Midland included the friendly business climate, a predictable regulatory environment and the State of Texas tort reform initiatives. These factors allowed XCOR to see a long term future happening in Midland."

Sports are perhaps the favorite pass time of most of the adults and even the seniors in the United States. Of all these, Football is one of the most watched sporting event of them all. Football in United States come in all sizes and shapes, but some of the major forms of the sport include college football, high school football and, of course, professional football. And when it comes to the professional Football, National Football League (NFL) comes to out to be the biggest and the highest organized body of them all.
NFL started from a small league that had only eleven teams initially, but as its horizons widened, the League expanded more and more, hence today National Football League comprises of 32 football teams. That much increase in the number of the teams has made the overall sport a lot more competitive and so, more entertaining at the same time. With several talented players divided amongst these 32 teams, the outcome that is inevitable will be a season full of exciting and thrilling line up of games amongst these teams.
NFL's seventeen week regular season starts off in the first week of September and runs all the way to early January. During that regular season every team plays a total of sixteen games with the seventeenth week being a bye week. Following the conclusion of the regular season six teams from both of the conferences go on to play in the NFL Playoffs, the winners of which go on to face each other on the grandest stage of them all, Super Bowl.
Super Bowl is championship match of the NFL's regular season, and is the most watched TV show in United States, which also makes it the most watched sporting event in U.S as well. Super Bowl is held every year on Sunday, which is called the Super Bowl Sunday.
Super Bowl's high viewership makes it the most expensive event of year and NFL tickets are usually in high demand during the time around the Super Bowl. Apart from that, airtime for the commercials during the broadcast of Super Bowl is also the most expensive one.
What makes NFL Super Bowl most watched and highly anticipated is the excitement and thrills that it brings to all its viewers. With the stakes being extremely high, and thousands being the witness to the event, both the teams pour in the best that they can offer, ultimately making the event a lot more exciting. Apart from that various notable musicians also perform during the break times through the game.
That's not the case with Super Bowl only; same goes with all the regular season match ups and playoffs. Everyone wants to see their favorite teams go at each other live, which is why NFL tickets have a high demand throughout the season.

BUNYAN, the new horror/creature film from director Gary Jones, producer Jeff Miller, and Kinetic Filmworks, recently wrapped the bulk of its filming in Los Angeles. The movie is a dark, contemporary take on the tall tale of Paul Bunyan. Kids at a first- time offenders' boot camp discover that the legend of Paul Bunyan is real, but is much more horrifying than they could have imagined. They incur the wrath of the 15-foot monstrous giant, who was banished from town 100 years ago and thought dead.
The movie stars genre vet Joe Estevez, Tom Downey (JOLLY ROGER: MASSACRE AT CUTTER'S COVE, TRANSMORPHERS), and Tim Lovelace (MOSQUITO). Newcomers Jesse Kove, Amber Connor, Cliff Williams, Victoria Ramos, Kristina Kopf, and Jill Evyn round out the cast.
Jones directed BOOGEYMAN 3 for Ghost House. Prior to BUNYAN, he directed several other "big" creature movies, including MOSQUITO, SPIDERS, and CROCODILE 2.

Gary Jones Co-Owner Jeff Miller Co-Owner
GARY JONES http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0428109/
Gary Jones has over 25 years of experience in the motion picture business. As an effects artist, Gary worked for such directors as Sam Raimi on EVIL DEAD 2 and John Woo on HARD TARGET. The first feature Gary directed, MOSQUITO, was released by Hemdale (THE TERMINATOR, PLATOON). After the success of MOSQUITO, Sam Raimi hired Gary to direct episodes of the popular shows "XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS" and "HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS."
Gary has directed episodes of Disney's "HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS" and Columbia/Tri-Star's "SHEENA." Gary's second feature film was SPIDERS, a throwback to '50s giant bug movies. It was released by Trimark/Lions Gate in 2000 and quickly became the most successful of their new "creature features" series. Gary followed up SPIDERS with CROCODILE 2: DEATH SWAMP, which was released by Lions Gate in 2002.
In Los Angeles in 2004, Gary directed JOLLY ROGER: MASSACRE AT CUTTER'S COVE, the first film with Kinetic Filmworks partner Jeff Miller. Gary traveled to Romania in 2005 to direct PLANET RAPTOR (starring Steven Bauer and Vanessa Angel) and XENOPHOBIA (starring C. Thomas Howell and Ron Silver). In 2006 Gary produced THE RAGE, directed by Robert Kurtzman, creator of FROM DUSK TILL DAWN. In 2007 Gary returned to Romania to direct the SyFy Channel Original GHOULS.
Gary then directed BOOGEYMAN 3, a sequel to the theatrical horror hit, for Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures/Sony. When it premiered on dvd in early 2009, it was #2 for three straight weeks in rentals for direct-to-video movies. Gary recently directed the SyFy Channel original LIGHTNING STRIKES, starring Kevin Sorbo ("Hercules"), as well as BALLISTICA, an action feature. To date, Gary has directed eleven feature films and over twenty-five hours of television. He is a member of the Directors Guild of America and on the approved list of directors for the SyFy Channel.
JEFF MILLER http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0588577/
Jeff Miller has been writing screenplays for over 20 years and producing for almost as long. He graduated with a Bachelor of Media Arts degree from the University of South Carolina. The first feature that Jeff co-produced, FREAKSHOW, starring Gunnar Hansen ("Leatherface" from THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) and Hammer Studios scream queen Veronica Carlson, was released internationally on home video in 1995 and won third place for Best U.S. Independent Film at the Fantafestival in Rome, Italy, Europe's largest sci-fi/horror festival.
After the success of FREAKSHOW, Jeff was asked to co-write and produce HELLBLOCK 13, which again starred Gunnar Hansen, in addition to scream queens Debbie Rochon (TROMEO & JULIET) and J.J. North (ATTACK OF THE 60 FT. CENTERFOLD). HELLBLOCK 13 was released by Troma in 2000. Miller then decided to write, produce, and make his directorial debut with HEAD CHEERLEADER, DEAD CHEERLEADER, also starring Debbie Rochon, which sold in the U.S. as well as to many foreign countries. In 2001 Jeff moved from South Carolina to Los Angeles and worked in marketing and development for several entertainment companies.
In 2004 Jeff created and wrote with Gary Jones the screenplay for JOLLY ROGER: MASSACRE AT CUTTER'S COVE. Jeff also directed second unit on the film, which was released in 2005 and premiered on the SyFy Channel in 2006. It has also played on the Chiller Network. Jeff recently helped produce and production coordinate the action feature BALLISTICA, starring Martin Kove (THE KARATE KID) and Robert Davi (LICENCE TO KILL, DIE HARD), which Gary Jones directed.
Jeff came up with the idea for BUNYAN while sitting in a coffee shop.
Kinetic Filmworks thanks its investors, who have helped make our film BUNYAN possible. Those interested in learning how they can become involved in Kinetic Filmworks productions, please contact Jeff Miller or Gary Jones at email@example.com
BALLISTICA (2009) was the first action feature for Miller and Jones. Jones directed the film, about a CIA special operative trained in the
mystical art of "ballistica" who must stop terrorists with a new breed of bomb. Miller was brought aboard to serve as Associate Producer and
Production Coordinator. It stars Paul Logan (MEGA PIRANHA), Martin Kove (THE KARATE KID), Robert Davi (LICENCE TO KILL), and C.B. Spencer (THE DEAD MATTER).
JOLLY ROGER: MASSACRE AT CUTTER'S COVE (2005) was the first filmed collaboration between Jeff Miller and Gary Jones. Miller created the concept, he and Jones wrote the screenplay, and Jones directed. Miller also directed 2nd unit on the film, a horror feature about a pirate who comes back from the dead to get revenge on the descendants of his mutinous crew. Released internationally in 2005, it has also played on the SyFy Channel as well as the Chiller Network.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Corrugated Tunnel (aka Edwin James) releases his highly anticipated new album 'I AM CORRUGATED' in Sept 2008, the follow up to his acclaimed award-winning debut album 'We are Electronix' (Slick DJ Best Album Award 2006/7).
'I AM CORRUGATED' sees the artist at his evocative best, delivering a rich style of composition that fuses deep lunging basslines, iridescent electronics, lavish string arrangements and sub sonic melodies, to create a lush emotive cinematic sound.
The self-titled opening track starts where it means to finish, its deep unremitting baseline bolstered by surge after surge of intense string activity. The mood is magnified with the beautifully crafted 'High Tides' as it soars and cries, while 'Holiday Blues', from its opening melancholic chords through to its memorable haunting melody, is stunning in its simplicity. A deep and probing bassline provides the foundation for the orchestral ambience of 'Careful What You Wish For', swathing together by the end in rich texture.
From the mournful labyrinth that is 'Slope Type A' to the unrelenting oldskool intensity of 'Back in the Day', the sunkist electronica (complete with neo-classical guitars) of 'Shine and See' to the infectious pulsating techno anthem that is 'Last One Standing', 'I AM CORRUGATED' conjures up an electronic heartland that aches as much as it soothes. 'Snow Angels' is the last train leaving, its passengers satiated, partied-out robots heading into the sunset.
'I AM CORRUGATED' is an accomplished piece of work; deep, brooding, melodic, uplifting, atmospheric; a work that claws at your emotions and expects something in return.

- Anti-allergic Effect of Intranasal Administration of Type-A Procyanidin Polyphenols Based Standardized Extract of Cinnamon Bark in Ovalbumin Sensitized BALB/c Mice. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Phytother Res 2014 Dec 12.
The objective of the present work was to evaluate anti-allergic effects of intranasal administration of type-A procynidines polyphenols (TAPP) based standardized hydroalcoholic extract of Cinnamomum zeylanicum bark (TAPP-CZ) in ovalbumin (OVA)-induced experimental allergic rhinitis (AR) in BALB/c mice. Sixty male BALB/c mice were divided into six groups of ten each (G1-G6). The mice from G1 were nonsensitized and maintained as normal group. Remaining mice (G2-G6) were sensitized with OVA (500 μL solution, intraperitoneal) on alternate days for 13 days and had twice daily intranasal treatment from day 14-21 as follows: G2 (AR control) received saline, G3 (positive control, XLY) received xylometazoline (0.5 mg/mL, 20 μL/nostril) and G4-G6 received TAPP-CZ (3, 10 and 30 µg/kg in nostril), respectively. On day 21, mice were challenged with OVA (5 μL/nostril, 5% solution) and assessments (nasal signs, biochemical and histopathological) were performed. Treatment with TAPP-CZ (10 and 30 µg/kg in nostril) showed significant attenuation in OVA-induced alterations of the nasal (number of nasal rubbing and sneezing), biochemical markers (serum IgE and histamine), haematological, morphological (relative organ weight of spleen and lung) and histopathological (nasal mucosa and spleen) parameters. In conclusion, TAPP-CZ showed anti-allergic efficacy in animal model of AR. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
- Can Nasal Decongestants Improve Eustachian Tube Function? [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Otol Neurotol 2015 Jan; 36(1):65-69.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
To evaluate the effect of nasal decongestants on eustachian tube (ET) opening.A prospective nonrandomized study.A tertiary referral center.Twenty-four patients (44 ears) with intact eardrums, 39 patients (43 ears) having a noninfected eardrum defect, and six patients with an upper airway infection.Nasal or intratympanal (in perforated ears) application of a nasal decongestant (xylometazoline 0.1%).Change of tube opening quality (yes or no; better or worse) measuring tube opening parameters (pressure, latency) using the Estève method and pressure equalization tests (swallowing at negative and positive external ear canal pressures).In most cases, nasal decongestion or intratympanal use of decongestants have no effect on ET opening. Improvement in tube opening is rather an exception and, in a minority of patients, a reduced ET function was evident.Our acute studies revealed no improvement in eustachian ventilatory tube function with the administration of nasal decongestants.
- Intra- and inter-pandemic variations of antiviral, antibiotics and decongestants in wastewater treatment plants and receiving rivers. [Journal Article, Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't]
- PLoS One 2014; 9(9):e108621.
- AbstractPMC Free Full TextPublisher Full Text
The concentration of eleven antibiotics (trimethoprim, oxytetracycline, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, cefotaxime, doxycycline, sulfamethoxazole, erythromycin, clarithromycin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin), three decongestants (naphazoline, oxymetazoline, xylometazoline) and the antiviral drug oseltamivir's active metabolite, oseltamivir carboxylate (OC), were measured weekly at 21 locations within the River Thames catchment in England during the month of November 2009, the autumnal peak of the influenza A[H1N1]pdm09 pandemic. The aim was to quantify the pharmaceutical response to the pandemic and compare this to drug use during the late pandemic (March 2010) and the inter-pandemic periods (May 2011). A large and small wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) were sampled in November 2009 to understand the differential fate of the analytes in the two WWTPs prior to their entry in the receiving river and to estimate drug users using a wastewater epidemiology approach. Mean hourly OC concentrations in the small and large WWTP's influent were 208 and 350 ng/L (max, 2070 and 550 ng/L, respectively). Erythromycin was the most concentrated antibiotic measured in Benson and Oxford WWTPs influent (max=6,870 and 2,930 ng/L, respectively). Napthazoline and oxymetazoline were the most frequently detected and concentrated decongestant in the Benson WWTP influent (1650 and 67 ng/L) and effluent (696 and 307 ng/L), respectively, but were below detection in the Oxford WWTP. OC was found in 73% of November 2009's weekly river samples (max=193 ng/L), but only in 5% and 0% of the late- and inter-pandemic river samples, respectively. The mean river concentration of each antibiotic during the pandemic largely fell between 17-74 ng/L, with clarithromycin (max=292 ng/L) and erythromycin (max=448 ng/L) yielding the highest single measure. In general, the concentration and frequency of detecting antibiotics in the river increased during the pandemic. OC was uniquely well-suited for the wastewater epidemiology approach owing to its nature as a prodrug, recalcitrance and temporally- and spatially-resolved prescription statistics.

- Xylometazoline poisoning: A 40-fold nasal overdose caused by a compounding error in 3 children. [Journal Article]
- Forensic Sci Int 2014 May.:e3-5.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
The imidazoline derivative xylometazoline, an alpha-2-adrenergic agonist, is used as non-prescription nasal preparation due to its vasoconstrictive and decongestive properties. Especially in children, an overdose can quickly cause severe central nervous system depression and cardiovascular adverse effects. In three 3-year-old boys (triplets) a xylometazoline intoxication was diagnosed by toxicological analysis. On admission to an emergency unit all three children were still unresponsive. One triplet showed respiration of 15-20breaths/min and required oxygen support (3L/min) via face mask; his electrocardiogram revealed sinus bradycardia of 64beats/min with supraventricular extrasystoles. However, no interventions were necessary except fluid management via intravenous lines. Eleven hours after the event, two of the triplets were awake but still not fully oriented. The third triplet woke up 20h after instillation of nose drops. Intoxication was caused by a compounding error in a pharmacy resulting in a concentration 40 times above the adequate dosage for children. In general, physicians, pharmacists and the public should be educated about the toxicity of over-the-counter preparations.
- Treatment with a topical glucocorticoid, budesonide, reduced the variability of rhinomanometric nasal airway resistance. [Journal Article]
- Rhinology 2014 Mar; 52(1):19-24.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Previous rhinomanometry studies have shown significant long-term variability of the nasal airway resistance and questioned the clinical validity of rhinomanometry.Could treatment with a topical glucocorticoid, budesonide, influence the long-term variability of active anterior rhinomanometry?Eight healthy volunteers participated in an unblinded controlled trial without, and later with, nasal budesonide once a day for 5 months. Their nasal airway resistance was measured every two weeks with active anterior rhinomanometry before and after decongestion with xylometazoline hydrochloride. In addition, subjective nasal obstruction was evaluated on a Visual Analogue Scale before each measurement. The participants had a year earlier been investigated with rhinomanometry every two weeks during 5 months but without budesonide treatment. We compared the variability of nasal airway resistance during the two periods with and without treatment with topical budesonide.Budesonide significantly reduced mean nasal airway resistance and the standard deviation of the mean after decongestion for 6 of 8 participants. The mean reduction of the nasal airway resistance was 40% for the decongested nasal cavity compared to the period without treatment with nasal budesonide. Subjective nasal obstruction assessed by Visual Analogue Scale was reduced in 3 of the 8 participants.The variability of nasal airway resistance was significantly reduced by treatment with topical budesonide for 6 out of 8 healthy volunteers participating in an unblinded repeated 5 month trial where the participants served as their own controls.
- Comparison of nasal hyperosmolar xylitol and xylometazoline solutions on quality of life in patients with inferior turbinate hypertrophy secondary to nonallergic rhinitis. [Journal Article]
- Int Forum Allergy Rhinol 2014 Jun; 4(6):475-9.
- AbstractAggregator Full Text
The purpose of this study was to objectively determine and compare the efficacy and effectiveness of xylitol solution (Xlear Nasal Sprey®) compared with xylometazoline and physiological saline with respect to quality of life (QoL) in patients with nasal congestion.A prospective, randomized study was performed in 42 patients who had nasal obstruction and hypertrophied turbinate mucosa that was refractory to medical treatment. The study population was randomized into 3 groups according to the application of xylometazoline, physiological saline, and xylitol hyperosmolar solution. The efficacy of treatment was evaluated objectively (4-phase rhinomanometry) and subjectively (visual analogue scale VAS.) before and after the application of the nasal solutions. QoL was evaluated by means of Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ).VAS scores and 4-phase rhinomanometry scores were better in the group treated with xylometazoline compared to those treated with xylitol or saline. The xylitol procedure yielded better results than the saline procedure, but differences were not statistically significant in both objective and subjective evaluation methods. For overall QoL, there was a significant improvement from baseline for the xylometazoline and xylitol groups. However, the improvement in the xylometazoline group was significantly greater than that obtained in the xylitol group.Xlear Nasal Spray® is an effective modality in the treatment of nasal congestion and has positive effect on the QoL of patients. Further studies are needed in order to plan an ongoing treatment of Xlear Nasal Sprey® at certain intervals for continuous relief of symptoms and a better and longstanding QoL.
- The evaluation of adenoid hypertrophy and obstruction grading based on rhinomanometry after nasal decongestant test in children. [Comparative Study, Journal Article, Observational Study]
- Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci 2013 Nov; 17(21):2962-7.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Adenoid hypertrophy (AH) is a very common problem in children. Nasal Fiberoptic Endoscopy (NFE) represents the gold standard method to diagnose AH. Rhinomanometry represents a valid diagnostic support. The aim of our study was to analyze the grade of nasal obstruction caused by AH, in a group of children, with rhinomanometry standard and after ND test versus NFE.Two hundred and eighty-four of 300 collaborative children, diagnosed as chronic oral breathers, were enrolled. All children underwent a complete physical examination, anterior active rhinomanometry and a second rhinomanometry after the administration of the nasal decongestant (ND) xylometazoline. All children were evaluated using Nasal Fiberoptic Endoscopy (NFE).At rhinomanometry nasal obstrucion was found of grade 1 in 102 (35.9%) children, of grade 2 in 41 (14.4%), of grade 3 in 52 (18.3%), of grade 4 in 37 (13%) and of grade 5 in 52 (18.3%). Those patients were tested also with rhinomanometry after ND: grade 1 in 108 (38%) children, grade 2 in 52 (18.3%), grade 3 in 56 (19.7%), grade 4 in 23 (8.1%) and grade 5 in 45 (15.8%). At NFE: 83 (29.2%) patients presented a grade 0, 73 (28.7%) a grade 1, 51 (17.9%), 34 (11.9%) a grade 3 and 43 (15.1%) a grade 4. Comparing the grade of nasal obstruction in NFE and in RM after ND we found a great correlation for grade 1 and grade 5 (respectively 84.3% and 79,1%, p < 0.001) and low correlation for the others grades of obstruction. When compared to NFE, rhinomanometry test after ND had 81.1% sensitivity and 84.3% specificity. Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were derived using data related to rhinomanometry vs NFE, and to Rhinomanometry after ND vs NFE.Rhinomanometry after ND, compared to rmhinomanometry, is more specific and useful to evaluate nasal obstruction due to AH in children. RM after ND is a great tool to assess the severity of nasal obstruction. In fact, the minimum and maximum degrees of obstruction to the RM after ND correlate significantly (p < 0.01) with those of NFE.
- Intranasal topical local anesthetic and decongestant for flexible nasendoscopy in children: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. [Comparative Study, Journal Article, Randomized Controlled Trial]
- JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2013 Dec; 139(12):1301-5.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
To our knowledge, the present study is the first double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in children to compare nasal preparation sprays administered before flexible nasendoscopy with placebo.To compare the degree of pain experienced by children undergoing flexible nasendoscopy after 1 of 3 intranasal sprays: placebo, decongestant with topical local anesthetic (TLA), or decongestant without TLA.A randomized placebo-controlled trial with blinding of participants, caregivers, observers, and otolaryngologists was conducted in a tertiary pediatric otolaryngology ambulatory clinic. Participants included a consecutive sample of children aged 3 to 12 years requiring flexible nasendoscopy. Exclusion criteria included concomitant respiratory tract infection, known allergy to a trial agent, or previous flexible nasendoscopy. One hundred fifty-one children were assessed for eligibility; 24 eligible children refused participation and 69 were included and block-randomized. All completed the study, and there were no adverse events.Nasal spray administration of placebo (normal saline); xylometazoline hydrochloride, 0.05% (decongestant); or lidocaine hydrochloride, 1%, with xylometazoline hydrochloride, 0.05% (TLA with decongestant) was performed 10 minutes before flexible nasendoscopy.Primary outcome measure was the child-reported Wong-Baker Faces Pain (WBFP) scale. Secondary outcomes included the caregiver-proxy WBFP scale; the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) scale; and the physician-reported Difficulty of Procedure Visual Analog Scale (DPVAS).Twenty-three children were recruited in each of the intervention arms. Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups. The mean child-rated WBFP scale scores were 2.4, 1.8, and 2.2 for the placebo, decongestant, and TLA with decongestant groups, respectively (P = .45). Although the finding was statistically nonsignificant, decongestant had the lowest mean caregiver-proxy WBFP scale score, lowest observer-rated FLACC scale score, and highest physician-rated DPVAS score. Subgroup analysis did not demonstrate any correlation between the outcomes and age or sex.This study revealed no statistically significant difference in the discomfort experienced by children undergoing flexible nasendoscopy after placebo, decongestant, or TLA with decongestant. Decongestant was associated with the least discomfort (on child, caregiver, and observer-rated pain scale scores) and the lowest rating for difficulty of procedure. With these findings, the study suggests that there is no significant benefit of topical decongestant with or without TLA compared with placebo in reducing pain associated with pediatric flexible nasendoscopy.

- Internal nasal dimensions of adults with nasal obstruction. [Journal Article]
- Braz J Otorhinolaryngol 2013 Sep-Oct; 79(5):575-81.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Nasal septum deviation (SD) and turbinate hypertrophy (TH) increase the resistance to respiratory airflow and may impair nasal patency.To characterize the nasal geometry of individuals with nasal obstruction secondary to SD and/or TH by means of acoustic rhinometry.This prospective study included 30 adults with complaints of nasal obstruction (NO) and SD + TH (n = 24), SD (n = 5) or TH (n = 1) seen by clinical examination. The cross-sectional areas of the three main dips of the rhinogram (CSA1, CSA2, CSA3), the distance between them and the nostrils (dCSA1, dCSA2, dCSA3), and the volumes of segments 1.0-3.2 cm (V1), 3.3-6.4 cm (V2), and 7.0-12.0 cm (V3) were measured before and after nasal decongestion (DN). For analysis, right and left cross-sectional areas and volumes were added and mean dCSA was calculated.Mean values (standard deviation) before ND were: 0.83 ± 0.23 (CSA1), 1.66 ± 0.52 (CSA2), and 2.36 ± 0.77 (CSA3) cm2; 2.19 ± 0.20 (dCSA1), 4.01 ± 0.33 (dCSA2), and 5.85 ± 0.37 (dCSA3) cm; 2.77 ± 0.51 (V1), 6.52 ± 1.99 (V2), and 26.00 ± 9.62 (V3) cm3; all values were lower than laboratory reference values (p < 0.05). ND led to proportionally greater increases of sectional areas and volumes in the NO group, suggesting an associated functional component. Individual analysis revealed 12 cases with normal results despite nasal obstruction.Most patients with structural nasal obstruction had results suggestive of nasal patency impairment in acoustic rhinometry.

While concerns over the economy and fuel prices have some boat dealers fearing slower sales, business appears to have been brisk at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
While the final numbers are not yet in, The South Florida Sun-Sentinel is reporting that this year's show definitely went smoother than 2005, which was delayed due to Hurricane Wilma.
Sales look strong for boats of all sizes, from large luxury yachts to more affordable boats.

"She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid." That classic line from Star Wars, entered the popular culture lexicon just about the same time as this quirky electric car we recently found on eBay. Based on a 1977-ish Endura (possibly) this one may have been originally converted by the Globe-Union company as a showcase for the their automotive replacement batteries. According to a Hemmings article on the Endura EV, you might know Globe-Union as the company as the manufacturer of DieHard batteries for Sears. There's more info on the Endura here.
Our RWD eBay find has a 20-hp DC electric motor and 7,000 miles on the odometer. Sadly, the two-door hatchback needs work. A lot of it. But, it is one of a kind and we can imagine a lot of good things happening in the hands of the right team of engineering students, for example. The good news is that the eBay auction proceeds will support the solar assistance programs of the Rural Renewable Energy Alliance non-profit. The buyer also recommends local pick-up, and we think that's a good idea. There's only one day left until the auction ends and the current bid sits at just over $700. It was apparently previously listed for much more.

Frustration with Milestone Deadlines
by Mark Larson | March 25, 2010
The dissertation research process at Capella is based on a set of 16 milestones which measure learner progress. Unlike in coursework where there are weekly assignments, learner's progress in dissertation is measured by milestone completion. Milestones have set timelines that are not tied to quarters. For example, when learners receive a six-week timeline for completion of the dissertation committee process, it means that learners should immediately set about contacting prospective members via email. In a previous post, I described a method that seems to make the process go more smoothly.
Since that post, I have heard from learners who are frustrated because the process is not going as smoothly as they wish and that that their milestone deadline is approaching. A first extension is available and is for half of the original number of weeks. Learners contact their mentors to request this extension. For example, the committee nomination milestone first extension is for 3 additional weeks. A second extension for milestones, with the length of the extension left to the discretion of the mentor and advisor, can be approved. Learners need to demonstrate that they are attempting to make progress.
Completion of dissertation milestones such as the dissertation committee nomination is like any other research project requiring a trial and error approach. It can happen quickly or take longer, depending on the availability of particular faculty members. If learners do not follow the process correctly it can also result in delays. It is always best to discuss the process with an Advanced Learner Doctoral Advisor during the initial dissertation advising session. Advisors welcome follow-up questions and are standing by to explain and clarify Capella's many processes and procedures.
8 Responses to "Frustration with Milestone Deadlines"
Annette says:
I am in the IDOL specialization. Does my committe have to be in that specialization or can they be from other specializations in Education?
Jonathan Gehrz says:
Morning Annette!
I'm going to jump in here and respond, because I actually work with Education folks and am perhaps in a better position to answer than Dr. Larson. A fine question, as it good to recognize that every School and specialization may have their own requirements for what is considered an acceptable dissertation committee. Currently, the Instructional Design in Online Learning specialization, yes, your dissertation committee will consist of a mentor/chair of the committee and faculty member affiliated with the IDOL program; one committee member also affiliated with the IDOL program; and one committee member either from a different specialization within the School of Education or an external, non-Capella faculty member or Visiting Scholar.
Great question. Do remain mindful, your committee really is your team that will guide you in developing your contribution to your field (Instructional Design in Online Learning.)
Jon Gehrz
Sherry Pearson says:
From what I have heard there is an outline given to follow-thru with the entire process of working on the dissertation??
Mark Larson says:
Yes, Sherry, the 16-milestone process is an outline of sorts. Also, there are manuals and other resources that explain the process. When you reach that stage of your program, your Advanced Learner Doctoral Advisor will go over the process with you. Best wishes for now!
Shane Willis says:
My question would be could we get our hands on the 16-milestone process earlier. I am starting to think about the disserataton process even though I have 5 quarters left (after the current one) of coursework. I want to start my research and formulating what I can while I am in the coursework. I understand there will be limitations on what I can do now, but not knowing what to expect makes the process more daunting. Thank you
Mark Larson says:
While your apparent energy level is commendable, you can only begin thinking about a topic and how you might approach it at this point. You absolutely cannot begin your research at this stage. In fact, you cannot begin work on your dissertation until you have successfully passed the comprehensive examination. To do so, would be a violation of policy, which has serious consequences. When you attend your Track III colloquium, you will focus on the comprehensive exam and dissertation and that will give you an overview of what to expect.
Again, I suggest you start thinking about a topic and how you would go about researching an aspect of it; however, you must stop at that point and wait until you are allowed to move forward with the actual research process.
My intent is not to put a damper on your obvious enthusiasm, but to clarify just what you can and cannot do at this point.
Don't lose that drive – just channel it into your current focus: your coursework.
My very best wishes to you!!
Nihal Gunay says:
I am a doctoral student at General Psy. and working on my MRF. The process is very slow and I am having problem understanding the process as it is outlined. Here are the issues I would like to get a response:
1- We have been asked to select 3 members for the committee. The only person who works with me continuously is my mentor, the other two do not even respond to my emails. Why did I have to wait for them to be approved if they would not be involved with the process?
2- My mentor approves my MRF and takes 10 days (as it was stated in the course room) then I wait another 10 days to get approval from the department chair. This process is same and the time line is same regardless how small or big the changes are on MRF. If the ultimate decision lies with department chair why we work with the mentor? Why the learner works with department chair directly until after MRF is approved. Then the mentor can provide much more dept feedback.
3- Of course, in MRF stage, I can do nothing until I get an approval which takes 1 month. However, Capella charges me more than $2000 for just waiting. I think we need to get a lower rate for dissertation courses since the work for faculty or student advisor who ever observes the course room is not required to work like the faculty who actually teaches an online course.
At this point, I feel Canella is taking advantage of the situation I am at: I cannot transfer to any online university just to complete my dissertation and Canella will keep on charging me for a work that is so slow and unfair to the learner due the time line. I really appreciate if someone can share some wisdom with me so I will keep my motivation and wait patiently for the process to take its course… please I desperately need some assistance and advise. Thank you in advance, Best Regards.

Wednesday Buddha
People born on normal Wednesday before 6pm are usually not organized especially for men. They are not overly concern about their looks or the way things are placed in the house etc as these people are simple minded. They are easily contented with whatever they have and are efficient workers. They are good foreman and supervisors though. They work well in the construction field and building works, they are good technically as well.
Women are however very diffierent, they are sharp and very intelligent and materialistic, it is not easy to cheat a women born on wednesday especially if they are born after 6pm (Rahu) These women are usually in all types of business and they get things done the way they want and fast. They will not do anything which does not recipocrate into something positive and lucrative.Both men and women must be careful during April,May,June,August,September and October because during these months they will get into some issues and financial problems.
Wednesday Evening Buddha
For wednesday born their color is green and for night born (Rahu) the color is purple. Women should wear an amulet of Rahu to help them in all that they do but they should have a spiritual God Parent as well so that their charcater may tone down a little as they are known to be hot tempered, these go the same for men born during (Rahu)

The Emperor's Soul
by Brandon Sanderson
My rating: ★★★★☆
Read From: 27 January 2014 – 28 January 2014
Goal: Flotsam & Jetsam
I'm feeling lazy tonight, so I'll borrow the Goodreads plot summary.
Shai is given an impossible task: to create—to Forge—a new soul for the emperor in less than one hundred days. But her soul-Forgery is considered an abomination by her captors. She is confined to a tiny, dirty chamber, guarded by a man who hates her, spied upon by politicians, and trapped behind a door sealed in her own blood. Shai's only possible ally is the emperor's most loyal councillor, Gaotona, who struggles to understand her true talent.
As I've grown to expect, Brandon Sanderson delivers the goods. The magic system in this novella, Forging, is innovative. Forger's can transform raw materials or existing objects into something else. But they have to know the history and character of the object first. If they don't get the soul of the object right, their Forgeries won't last. A good Forger has to have a very close, very intimate knowledge of that which they would Forge. And that's the soul of this novella: in order to Forge a new soul for the emperor, Shai will have to learn more about him than anyone else knows, even his closest friends. That developing relationship — between Shai and a brain dead ruler — is what drives this story.
This story won a Hugo award last year. I can see why. The magic system is interesting. As is usual in Brandon's stories, the limitations of the magic system are more interesting than the magic system itself. But the magic takes a back seat to the relationships and that's what makes this story good.
