I can see why some people might think that by using the library you are saying you're bad doctor. Because visiting the library means you are admitting you don't know the answer. Some doctors are like that; they refuse my help because they won't admit they don't know or that they aren't sure. But do you, as a patient, want that doctor?

The Desk Setup
Like many technologists, I may have had some vague notion that librarians had something to contribute to discussions about information and metadata and standards and access, but my concept of what librarians did and what they knew probably had more to do with stereotypes and anecdote than on an understanding of reality. Which is a shame. Although in the last few years I think we've done a really good job of making clearer connections between libraries and technology, I don't think anyone is surprised when librarians are omitted from discussions about and between prominent technologists, such as the one facilitated by the Setup. (Note: by "librarians" I mean anyone who works in, with, or for libraries. Hat tip to Eli Neiburger for saying what I'd been thinking, only less clearly, for some time before he said those words out loud.)
The New York Times reports on the growth of 'Operation Medical Libraries', an effort to restock Afghanistan's hospitals, clinics and universities with medical textbooks. It began modestly in 2007 with a plea for books from a U.C.L.A. medical graduate serving in the Army and has since been embraced by 30 universities and hospitals, more than a dozen professional organizations and scores of individual doctors and nurses.
Nearly three decades of war and religious extremism have devastated medical libraries and crippled the educational system for doctors, nurses and other health professionals. Factions of the Taliban singled out medical texts for destruction, military medical personnel say, because anatomical depictions of the human body were considered blasphemous.
"They not only burned the books, but they sent monitors into the classroom to make sure there were no drawings of the human body on the blackboard," said Valerie Walker, director of the Medical Alumni Association of UCLA.
By Ms. Walker's estimate, 27,000 medical texts have reached Afghanistan through Operation Medical Libraries, but she adds that the number is probably much higher. Donors can contribute directly by visiting the project's Web site, to find a military volunteer's address, then shipping the books on their own.
From The Star: Toronto Public Library is pulling its part-time librarian from the Reading Room at the Hospital for Sick Children.
"We're worried, but we understand that Toronto Public Library has been hit with a budget that doesn't allow them to continue their services across the city at the same level," says Dr. Bruce Ferguson, the hospital's director of community health systems. "The first thing we (will) do is talk about how we can maintain services for patients and families."
Sick Kids is one of three Toronto hospitals losing its part-time library staff because of city budget constraints.
The reading room has a collection of 13,500 materials that includes books, CDs and curriculum material that supports schoolchildren from kindergarten to Grade 12. Some Toronto public board teachers work permanently in the hospital, holding classes for students of the psychiatric ward, epilepsy patients, and kids in the substance-abuse program. Teachers also school patients who are at the hospital for more than five days to ensure they don't fall behind.
"The Toronto Public Library is an incredibly valuable contributor and we will miss that librarian," said Ferguson. "But we will sit down with our partners and the woman's auxiliary and volunteer services and figure out how they'll cope without the part-time staff member."

You have advanced kidney cancer. It will kill you, probably in the next year or two. A drug called Sutent slows the spread of the cancer and may give you an extra six months, but at a cost of $54,000. Is a few more months worth that much?
Follow up on a story we posted last week about the Rapid City Regional Hospital removing its librarian and closing its library (I like to think that maybe LISNews contributed to what LJ is calling the 'backlash'...)
Library Journal reports: Rapid City Regional Hospital (RCRD), SD, has ended public access to its medical library and fired its longtime medical librarian, provoking a negative reaction to the decision.
In response to a story in the Rapid City Journal June 9, some 70 people wrote about their displeasure with the hospital, bringing up salient points about the nature of libraries and librarians.
Unfortunately, closing libraries is an increasingly common occurrence in the private sector. But in this case, the public has been affected, and they're making sure their displeasure is heard.
"A library is about INFORMATION, not about books," wrote one poster. "Librarians are skilled in helping people connect with the INFORMATION they need, AND they help to make the information accessible too," she continued.
Many posters made well-informed arguments for the profession. A past hospital employee wrote, "[Other hospitals] understand that the librarian is the key to making these electronic resources work, finding the best resources to buy, at the best prices, continuously teaching users and making the databases work well for the employees, doctors, and patients."
Medical librarian Pat Hamilton is out of a job on Friday as Rapid City Regional Hospital transitions to a self-help electronic medical library for internal use only.
For the past 24 years, Hamilton and her staff of volunteers offered medical library resources to doctors, hospital employees and medical, nursing and pharmacy students. The library's consumer health section also was available to the general public to do research on their medical conditions. Those materials have been donated to the Rapid City Public Library. The electronic library will no longer be available for public use.
Dr. Robert Allen, RCRH's vice president of medical affairs, said the library and its computer access will remain open for internal use, but it will be staffed partially by volunteers and by medical staff services personnel.
"With electronic advancements, health care facilities are increasingly moving to this type of library," Allen said in a statement. "Rapid City Regional Hospital will maintain some books and journals in its library."
The amount of money saved by the move is not known at this time, he said.
Library volunteer Joyce Herbst said: "They can put whatever spin they want on it, but brass tacks is that they're closing the library. I guess I just don't understand how you can take that resource away from a teaching hospital. How can it be a teaching hospital, without a resource library and someone to run it? I just think it's not a very smart thing to do."
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has a recent article about a medical library named after a suicide bomber.

EMS 27 in Bronx, N.Y., designed by WXY Architecture Urban Design.
Paul Warchol
EMS 27 in Bronx, N.Y., designed by WXY Architecture + Urban Design.
Located in the Woodlawn neighborhood of the Bronx, EMS Station 27 serves as a base for emergency-services personnel to check in before shifts, and to restock their vehicles.
Sited between an auto-body shop and a scrapyard, the team at WXY Architecture Urban Design strove to make each of the façades different and appropriate for the context, which ranges from a busy thoroughfare on the south side to a quiet neighborhood street on the north.

Serving the diverse needs of the EMS workers in a tight program meant creating a series of high-traffic and often multifunctional spaces. The vehicle bay houses ambulances, and other emergency vehicles, as well as store rooms where EMTs can resupply after a call.
The second-floor Lieutenants office serves as a command center and allows (via an internal window) for oversight of the vehicle bay on the ground floor.

Ramsey Dabby is chief architect for New York City's Fire Department (FDNY), the parent agency of the city's Emergency Management Services (EMS). As point man for the FDNY on the Bronx project, he worked hard to make the building the pride of EMS—but being innovative, he notes, isn't always easy. " 'Pushing the envelope' is a tricky phrase in the department," Dabby says.
Across New York, there has been a renewed effort in recent years to make design quality a priority in public buildings. But in an environment rife with institutional forces, design can be a chit in the political process.
In the 1990s, FDNY's EMS stations were designed on a "prototype" model, as Dabby describes it—"solid, substantial buildings made out of masonry." Starting in 2006, however, the Department of Design and Construction (DDC) codified its Excellence in Design and Construction (EDC) criteria: As with the federal Design Excellence program, this protocol places a stronger emphasis on the unique architectural character of city projects, and that opened the door for emerging firms like New York–based WXY Architecture + Urban Design. "Design excellence was set up to say, 'Now take these written rules, but try something new,' " says principal Claire Weisz, AIA.
That made the stakes in Woodlawn particularly high. The FDNY has built only a handful of EMS stations since the EDC program made the '90s prototype obsolete, so the design for EMS 27 can help make the case for a new generation of EMS facilities. City Hall also recognized the importance of the project: The DDC's Samir Shah notes that it's been a "mayoral priority."
The completed building seems to satisfy the hopes of the EMTs and paramedics who work there. "This makes us finally feel respected," says EMS 27's Lt. George Trager, who hopes that subsequent stations will follow EMS 27's lead. Shah says he certainly expects some features—augmented social spaces upstairs and a basement (which is not currently standard in EMS stations) that separates the building systems from the already-crowded workspace—to become a frequent request from EMS end-users in future. But the FDNY's Dabby is quick to stress the fundamentals. "What you should be doing is creating houses that can take abuse," he says. "These aren't for ballerinas."
The Bronx neighborhood of Woodlawn is near enough to New York's border that if you trip one way, you'll fall over the city line. Trip another and you may hit your knee on a tombstone: 300,000 of them occupy Woodlawn Cemetery, on the area's southern periphery.
Woodlawn's living residents, outnumbered as they are, are a hearty bunch. Though living far from the bright lights of Manhattan, these mostly middle-class and immigrant strivers rely on municipal services provided by City Hall downtown. Now, with the arrival last August of an innovative Emergency Medical Services (EMS) station designed by New York–based WXY Architecture + Urban Design, Woodlawn has found itself with one of the brightest jewels in the city's infrastructural crown.
"A lot of people in EMS, they think of this as being like the flagship station," says lieutenant George Trager, a paramedic attached to the new EMS 27 on East 233rd Street. Before last summer, Trager and his 60-odd colleagues were scattered in facilities across the city, many of which were cramped, aging, and inadequate. The difference between their old and new digs, says the 16-year veteran, is "like night and day."
EMS stations are peculiarly hybrid creatures. Combining various elements of a firehouse, a clubhouse, and a parking garage, they have to serve as all-purpose depots for roving bands of EMTs and paramedics on 24-hour patrol. Ambulances return to refuel and resupply; crews check in at the beginning and end of each eight-hour shift, and senior staff stop by to monitor operations in the field.
For the new Bronx location, the designers and assorted governmental stakeholders were charged with stuffing these complex functions into a very tight envelope. EMS 27 occupies a footprint of less than 3,000 square feet and is wedged between an auto shop and a dusty scrap lot. Like the nearly century-old fire station it replaces, the new building runs through the narrow block from front to back, facing onto a high-traffic corridor on one side, and a quiet residential stretch of Woodlawn on the other.
Claire Weisz, AIA, founding principal (with partner Mark Yoes, AIA) of WXY, was acutely sensitive to this contextual double bind. "We were concerned that the neighborhood, which had fought for this building, didn't end up with the same façades for both the houses and the [main] road," she says. Accordingly, EMS 27 presents two faces to the world: to its neighbors, it's a demure composition of glass and zinc panels, easily mistaken for a contemporary condominium; for drivers on the busy thoroughfare, its row of raked, irregular louvers establishes a lively play of sun and shadow that's even more striking at 40 miles an hour.
The shimmering brise soleil, hoisted over a base of glazed brick, helps to mask a complex mechanical system that nearly bursts out of the building frame. "No inch of the building is wasted here," notes Samir Shah, program director for the Department of Design and Construction (DDC), the city's representative on the project. Everything from a control booth and computer room, to decontamination units, to a narcotics storage closet with a blood-vessel-scanning lock are all stacked one atop the other on the building's five above- and below-ground floors. A training room that doubles as a dining space in the penthouse and a connecting outdoor terrace (unique to New York's EMS stations) add just a touch of luxury, as does a fitness room below—though all, in an ironic instance of momento mori, command sweeping views of the nearby graveyard.
The building's height, itself unusual for an EMS station, gave WXY the chance to make a virtue of the difficult site and hefty program. "By being that compact," Weisz says, the EMTs "get to realize more social engagement." By that, she means that the station's overlapping functions—punctuated in WXY's scheme by internal overlooks and atria—foster human interaction. The same applies outside the building's walls, which the architects strove to open up with more apertures, more glass, and less bricks and mortar. "At the same time we were trying to make this a private space, we didn't want to isolate them [the personnel] from the neighborhood," she says. "We had to make that leap."

Take a Trip Up "Mother Nature's Stairmaster"
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll curse and you'll sweat. Climbing the Grouse Grind, the trail that's known as "Mother Nature's Stairmaster" is a beautiful way to explore Vancouver's natural surroundings, but this isn't a gentle, meandering hike, it's a steep and mountainous adventure. Are you ready?First off, a little history. In the 1920s and early 30s, hikers started heading up the trail, most looking to reach the cabins in the Grouse Mountain village. The trail was modernized in 1981 by mountaineers who wanted to create a challenging aerobic workout, and it was completed in 1983. Every year, over 100,000 people hike the Grind, and it takes an hour and a half on average to complete, although most first-time climbers need around two hours.
Getting to the Grouse Grind
You can easily get to the start of the Grouse Grind by driving or taking the bus up Capilano Road (stay right after crossing the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver). The address is 6400 Nancy Greene Way, and there are several parking areas at the base of the trail, but it's no longer free, so bring change or a credit card. And, remember to bring water or an empty bottle to fill at the fountain at the base of the hill.
The curfew time varies, but in general the gate is locked around 7 pm. It's for your own good: you don't want to be climbing the Grouse Grind after dark, when you can't see where you're stepping and bears come out to play!
Doing the Grouse Grind
Get climbing! Enjoy the gorgeous view of the city and the lush forest that offers plenty of shade as you head up the mountain stairs. The Grind is marked with signs at each quarter of the hike, so you know how much torture is left (or can turn around if you really can't make it)! Once you reach the top, you can stop for a snack or a beer and burger on the patio, where the view of the city is amazing on clear days and evenings. Most people take the gondola down for $10, but you can hike down if you prefer.
Grouse Grind Statistics:
Length: 2.9 kilometres (1.8 miles)
Elevation: 853 metres (2,800 feet)
Total stairs: 2,830

In about 10 hours they were gone, leaving a custom-made wheelchair ramp. Mitzi said, "I just love those fellows! What they've done is wonderful and I can't wait until I'm strong enough to get back to church. I miss it and everyone there so much!"

While Miley was busy twerking on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 25, Liam was no where in sight and now HollywoodLife.com can tell you why! HollywoodLifers, read on and tell us if you think it's a good reason.
Miley Cyrus, 20, was shaking her booty in a nude bra and panties at the MTV Video Music Awards and everyone in Hollywood was in the audience. But why wasn't Miley's fiance, Liam Hemsworth, there cheering her on for one of the biggest performances of her career? HollywoodLife.com can tell you why.
Why Liam Hemsworth Skipped VMAs
It turns out Liam was never supposed to go to the VMAs, so for anyone who thinks he skipped it, backed out, stood Miley up, not true! Liam, who is known for keeping a low profile, actually knew her performance was going to be over-the-top and that's why he and Miley jointly decided he not attend.
"Miley knew her performance was going to be outside his comfort zone and she didn't want to be worrying about him in the audience and how he was going to react," the insider tells us. "The whole thing was just another day of work for her, she wants her album to be number one and that means promoting the hell out of it."
But how do Liam's ultra-conservative parents feel about her performance being labeled raunchy and making headlines all over the world? She was seen getting very sexual on stage with Robin Thicke and even the Parents Television Council came out slamming her.
"Liam's family is very conservative, so she knows they won't approve of her performance," the source added. "But she had to make a decision when she started all of this, is she going to shape her career to please Liam and his family? Or is she going to be the artist she wants to be?"
The source continued: "She loves Liam and she wants to make him happy but it does seem pretty clear that her own career is the most important thing to her right now and what's wrong with that? Liam is putting his career first, no one is expecting Liam to pick his movie roles based on what will make Miley and her family happy. So why should she base her career on what will make him and his family happy? It's not something she can worry about or it will drive her crazy."
Miley Doing Everything She Can To Make Their Relationship Work
HollywoodLife.com told you that Miley has been the main one putting in the effort into their relationship. But she hasn't given up hope and the two are still together. Some good news, she's started looking at bridal magazines to give her ideas for her wedding.
"It's Miley that's been putting in most of the effort to keep them together, but Liam does love her," a source tells us. "It's hard to tell if he's madly in love with her because he's not the type of guy that does the big romantic stuff but he is there for her when she needs him, so that says a lot."
HollywoodLifers, sound off below and tell us if you think Liam should have been there at the VMAs.

"No one is expecting Liam to pick his movie roles based on what will make Miley and her family happy. So why should she base her career on what will make him and his family happy?"
They might have said something different if he was doing porn :-D
(To be clear, I'm not saying what Miley did was porn but it was its VMA equivalent)

LOL Well, Hollywood Superman – if you lie down with dogs – you wake up with fleas! (And some STDs!) No wonder you don't bat an eye at Miley's antics if you hang out with porn stars and strippers. And you are WRONG. Most porn stars and strippers STATISTICALLY take drugs just to deal with it all and to keep their energy up and their weight down. I am not a prude, but we should not be "treated" to a strip show in our own living rooms. Grow up!

Are you out of your mind? Being a mate, friend, spouse, etc. DOES NOT mean you have to tolerate whatever that person is trying to shove down your throat. A better quesiton would be what kind of woman makes it VERY CLEAR that her husband-to-be DOES NOT come first? And this so-called "author" is on the low end of stupid b/c Liam has made NO career choices that comes close to being the equal of the garbage Miley pullws at the VMAs. Once someone else is in your life you DO have an obligation to consider them and she doens't. Miley and Liam may have discussed that her performance was going to be raunchy but there is no way anyone can say with a straight face that Liam was okay with the way Miley ground on Robin or played with heself with that foam finger. hat guy wants a wife who carries on like this? Lady Gaga ended up wearing less than Miley but Miley was the trashy one.

if i may with TONS of respect: i did think Miley's performance was great. she is 20 and she need to show and express herself.. not to be rude towards you but i always and forever will support and defend Miley… i know i said that many times but guess what… i respect people and their opinions so you guys need to respect mine… you guys don't have too.. but Miley was AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL!!

So Brandon, would you support a Porn Star? Or a stripper?! Because this was practically what it was. As you get older, you will realize that supporting a person does not mean putting blinders on! The rest of us are just being brutally HONEST! If doesn't matter what age Miley is. Her performance was in very poor taste! And just like Robin Thicke's mom, the rest of us can't unsee what we saw!
Posted at 2:06 AM on August 29, 2013
I totally agree with you … she's famous she's 20 .. hell she's young and wild so just let her be… im actually so proud and impressed of their relationship and how they are both able to put their differences and work aside and have a good steady relationship that a lot of celebrities now a days SPECIALLY young ones can't keep up .

MP3 of the Day: "Dr. Whisker's Theme" by Damian Lazarus, at Electric Pickle this Friday
And soon, from the print world, he snagged a record label, eventually helping set up the tech-house-centered imprint City Rockers. It was around this time that Lazarus started taking DJing, a hobby since his early teens, seriously. He soon developed a trademark weirdness to his style, based more on digging the proverbial crates for wonky, warped tracks than playing the latest four-to-the-floor hits. And eventually he started his own label, Crosstown Rebels, which has become one of the most highly regarded techno-ish stables around.
But still, it's only now that Lazarus has ventured into making his own music. His debut studio album, Smoke The Monster Out, is finally due out this summer. And it's a real departure from his DJ sound, focused more on song structure and distinct melody. There are recurring vocals from Lazarus himself, as well as two Swedish female twins known as Taxi Taxi, and he cites Nick Cave and even Jeff Buckley as songwriting influences. Still, for his current tour, Lazarus will still keep things moving on the dancefloor: He's created remixed versions of all of his album tracks that will keep the BPM steady.
As a taster, for free download, here's "Dr. Whisker's Theme," an unreleased track that does not, in fact, appear on Lazarus' album. And check Crossfade later this week for a full Q&A with Lazarus.

I did all that work, too, but the police told me they wouldn't send their men into a situation like that (me going to the site to pick it up) without more information.

Coverage: ROOT
8:10 PM ET, May 18, 2013
Coors Field, Denver, Colorado
W: T. Chatwood (2-0)
L: T. Lincecum (3-3)
DENVER -- Tyler Chatwood crossed up catcher Wilin Rosario, throwing a curve instead of a fastball, and it skipped past his catcher and bounced to the backstop.
Buster Posey raced from second to third.
But the ball ricocheted right back to Rosario, who spun and nailed Posey by several feet.
It would be that kind of night for both the Colorado Rockies and the San Francisco Giants.
"That was awesome," Chatwood said after the Rockies' 10-2 rout Saturday night. "That was completely my fault. We had just gone over the signs and I completely whiffed it. So, for that to work out like it did was pretty helpful.
"I crossed him up pretty good. But it worked out."
Just like the rest of the night did for the Rockies, who capitalized on three more errors by the mistake-prone Giants.
The wall was moved up six feet during the offseason when the Rockies added a walkway in front of the first row of box seats behind the plate, and that surely made a difference on the big play that helped thwart a big second inning by San Francisco.
"He crossed me up, but that's OK," Rosario said. "I got lucky the ball hit the wall and come back fast to me."
Chatwood (2-0) weaved his way in and out of several more sticky situations, allowing seven hits and four walks in 5 2/3 innings -- but he gave up just one run before hitting the showers after a 99-pitch performance.
Promoted from Triple-A Colorado Springs before the game for his second stint with the Rockies, Chatwood helped himself out with an RBI single off Tim Lincecum, too.
"I enjoy it, it's fun," Chatwood said of hitting.
Fielding has been a nightmare for the Giants on this trip.
"We just came off a really good homestand and everything's that hit is either not at us or we're having some difficulties handling tough balls. It's a funk," Giants right fielder Hunter Pence said.
In addition to his nifty defensive play to thwart a big second inning, Rosario drove in three runs for the Rockies, who beat the Giants for the second straight time after snapping a 10-game losing streak to them with a 10-9 win one night earlier.
Lincecum (3-3) committed a costly throwing error that led to a three-run third inning and also had a balk when he slipped off the mound that led to another run in the fourth before Rosario took him deep for his ninth homer in the fifth.
The Giants' defensive slump continued despite a team meeting before the game in which manager Bruce Bochy addressed San Francisco's poor play in the field.
Then, he watched the Giants commit three more errors, giving them a dozen in the first five games of their six-game trip that wraps up Sunday at Coors Field.
Posey airmailed a throw into center field on Carlos Gonzalez's stolen base attempt in the first inning. Gonzalez trotted to third but he was stranded there when Lincecum got Troy Tulowitzki to ground out to short to end the inning.
In the top of the second inning, Posey tried to advance to third on a pitch that got past Rosario only to be out by several feet. Brandon Belt followed with a two-out double to the right-field corner.
Gregor Blanco drove in Belt with a bloop single to center, and Brandon Crawford drew an intentional walk before Lincecum was caught looking at the third strike, thwarting what could have been a bigger inning.
The Giants' second error proved more costly as Lincecum's bad throw on a comebacker led to a big third inning for Colorado.
"It was just frustrating," Lincecum said. "Just not consistently hitting spots, leaving balls up. Kicking the ball around. That was probably the biggest frustrating thing for myself when I knew I could have made that play. After that I didn't collect myself and concentrate. Kind of unraveled."
Dexter Fowler doubled down the left-field line, scoring Charlie Blackmon from second to tie it at 1. Fowler scored when Lincecum fielded Josh Rutledge's chopper and threw the ball into right field. Rutledge ended up at third base and trotted home on Gonzalez's groundout.
"Trying to make something there out of what's not possible," Bochy said. "That's what we've got to stop doing, compounding the problem. We've done it a few too many times. It might have caused him to lose a little focus."
Lincecum said the Giants are pressing on defense.
"People try to do too much in tough situations because we want to make that big play. That's who we are," Lincecum said. "When it doesn't get made, it just adds to that frustration."
The last time the Giants committed 12 errors in a five-game span was April 18-22, 1996, according to the team.
"Errors aren't always mental," Lincecum said. "You try to find the silver lining in the effort. It's not for lack of effort. Everyone's hustling, everyone's trying to make that play, that's why it's tough."
Lincecum slipped off the rubber while pitching to Blackmon in the fourth, resulting in a balk that sent Nolan Arenado to second base. He took third when Blackmon flied out to center and scored on Chatwood's single back up the middle, making it 4-1.
"My spike slipped on the mound," Lincecum said. "It's happened twice here already."
The Giants put runners at the corners in the fifth but Posey grounded out to the mound to end the threat, and Rosario's two-run homer, his ninth, made it 6-1 in the fifth.
All of the six runs Lincecum allowed in five innings were earned. He gave up seven hits and walked a pair.
Rosario's 60-foot dribbler down the third-base line off Jean Machi in the seventh drove in Fowler from third to make it 7-1.
Crawford's RBI single made it 7-2 in the eighth, but he committed San Francisco's third error in the bottom half of the inning when he took his eye off a throw back into the infield, allowing Fowler to advance to second following an RBI single.
Game notes
Tulowitzki added a two-run single off George Kontos to make it 10-2 ... Josh Outman threw two effective innings of relief and Wilton Lopez got the final four outs. ... Rockies OF Michael Cuddyer says he doubts his neck will bother him again this season after getting an epidural that relieved pain and stiffness. He returned to throwing and taking batting practice Saturday. ... The Giants and Rockies wrap up their four-game series Sunday with LHP Barry Zito (3-2) and RHP Juan Nicasio (3-1) squaring off.

Video transcript: British Baked Bean Bid: University of Warwick
You may wish to play the video in another window to watch it side by side with the transcript below. Alternatively, you can watch the video on our YouTube channel with captions.
September 2013
Video shows field of navy bean plants
Andrew Tock, BBSRC Food Security Studentship
The navy bean is an important ingredient for the British diet. Many people in the UK rely on baked beans as a part of their 5 a day nutrition. As a country we consume about 1.7 million cans every day in the UK and in 2008, for example, when the credit crunch hit and volatile global food prices reached unprecedented levels, we saw sales of baked beans exceed £300M per year. But the key ingredients of the navy bean isn't currently grown in this country and so the UK consumer is entirely dependent on imports of this stable food crop.
Video shows Eric Holub and Edmond bean samples
Professor Eric Holub, University of Warwick Crop Centre
So the starting point for us is a variety that we have inherited called "Edmond". The scientists here at the National Vegetable Research Station had developed a variety specifically for UK growers and it had all the characteristics that canning companies require for processing, for cooking and flavour, looking properly in the can, but they needed to introduce disease resistance and the shorter growing season. And they were able to achieve something close to what was needed called "Edmond". So the point at which they stopped the research they had identified a brown seeded bean, which has some other characteristics, and they were beginning to introduce those new traits into Edmond, a shorter growing season and good yield, and they had some experimental lines which were looking promising.
Video shows bottle of Edmond beans in a laboratory
Our starting point is to actually evaluate those in the field to see 20 years later if those improvements are better than Edmond. And we are going into this with the intention of applying new methods of science involving molecular biology, which 20 years later could make the task of actually improving a bean much more straightforward and more rapid.
Andrew Tock
So the traits we are looking for are cold tolerance for seedling establishment in spring, resistant to halo blight, a disease that occurs worldwide, and early maturity so that the crop is ready for harvest in early September before the onset of autumnal rains.
Video shows pots of young bean plants in a glasshouse
Professor Eric Holub
The process involves several generations so that takes time. If you were to use a glasshouse or poly tunnel you could probably do two or three generations in a year but at some point you need to test things in the field. As we go back to progeny and look for other variants, and how we actually think of ways to understand the genes themselves so we can improve our efficiency of actually finding that very unique bean that we are looking for. And that is where new methods of molecular biology come in where we can actually find the bean without having to grow it in the field, and if we can do that with large numbers we can more efficiently discard things and save what looks to be most valuable.
Andy Tock is funded by the BBSRC. This is our main source of funding for academic research and they are putting a large amount of investment into food security and the application of state of the art science to improve the ability of producing major crops.
Andrew Tock
An essential component of our project for example is applying the latest DNA sequencing technology with the ultimate aim of improving ability of breeders to select lines combing traits that are essential for low input production. In view of the importance of the common bean as a source of food and income throughout Africa and Latin America, the benefits of developing genome wide genetic markets, and beginning to map the genes controlling these traits, could extend beyond UK production. They can make valuable contributions to food security and sustainable agricultural livelihoods.

Spinning the Schools
So you're new Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee and your reputation, the mayor's political future and, indeed, the success of more than 50,000 students are riding on your ability to fix the public schools. What are you going to do to ensure you look good?
You bring in the professional spinners.
That's what Rhee did this week when she hired New Future Communications to a three-month contract to overhaul the school system's communications office.
As with the system at large, reforming the communications office will be no easy feat. In past years, that department has developed a reputation as a sluggish, defensive bunker where requests for information go to die.
Shortly after Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D) downgraded the Board of Education and took control of the system in June, he dispatched an aide, Mafara Hobson, to assist Rhee. But now Rhee has added a more sophisticated layer of expertise to her publicity arm.
New Future, based in Washington, is the creation of Jamal Simmons, a national political media consultant who has worked on the campaigns of Wesley Clark and Al Gore. He was Gore's Florida spokesman during the recount battle of the 2000 election.
Simmons also happens to be a former classmate of Rhee's during their days at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government a decade ago.
Simmons said in a recent interview that he was friendly with Rhee during their graduate student days but had not spoken with her in years. When Fenty hired her in June, Simmons said, he emailed her to congratulate her and offer his company's assistance. It didn't take long for her to come calling.
"We were hired to provide strategic counsel and daily support to the chancellor," Simmons said. "Part of that helping is to figure out how to reorganize the communications department and to make sure we accomplish the goals of the new administrator.
"A big issue here is how to continue to show people progress is being made along the way. The mayor has been pretty clear and the chancellor has been clear that they want to keep the public updated on what is happening."
Notably, New Future has never worked for a school system before, mostly focusing on politics.
Simmons described ramping up the energy of the school communications staff to match that of the mayor's office. He envisions an office that does not wait for reporters to call in but rather highlights important policy initiatives as they are implemented.
Expect Simmons, and his partner Bill Buck, to be heavily involved in a search for a new, full-time school spokesperson, even though he declined to comment on whether such a search would take place.
"What [Rhee] is trying to do is a more activist media department," he said, "not really a typical government office where they get a request and answer it, but one that will be more proactive."
Of course, there is a fine line between releasing information to reporters -- and the public -- and spinning it to highlight only the good news. In New York City, where Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg (I) took over the schools in 2002, parents and reporters have complained that the mayor's communications office selectively releases information and routinely fails to respond to requests for public information.
Simmons said his charge is to get information out -- good or bad.
"We want to make sure the community is aware of progress, and also places were we still have work to do," he said. "We're committed to letting people know where we're falling short."

Spinning Deception Into the Illusion of Progress
The Monday evening, December 17, community meeting regarding the pre-k-to-8th grade proposal for Stevens Elementary and Francis JHS (both in ward 2) revealed some rather frightening truths. First, the Fenty-Rhee-Reinoso takeover crew is even more unorganized when it comes to community meetings than the school board ever was. If they can't figure out how to run a public meeting, how in the real world can they run a school system? Informational chaos was aggravated by pretentious scripted rhetoric that deflected important questions with empty answers. The takeover crew kept forgetting they were dealing with truly avid and aware parents, with no patience for nonsense and bureaucratic happy talk.
Second, and most important, many of Stevens' parents feel that their "babies" will be unsafe in the same building as Francis children. I am the parent of a Francis child. While our tweens and teens are experiencing their share of growing pains, they are not in the habit of demoralizing or biting off the heads of smaller children. I don't doubt this perception was fostered as a divide and conquer tactic by the takeover crew.
Nevertheless, I fully and respectfully understand the concerns and frustrations of the Stevens parents. Since DCPS schools chancellor Michelle Rhee has not presented a clear and competent plan for its implementation, parents quite naturally are suspicious of their pre-kindergarten through 8th grade formula. When undertaken correctly and competently, the formula can provide a nurturing transition through the scary, confusing time of puberty for both parents and children. It must, however, be consistently given the proper logistical, programmatic and accountable resources to genuinely succeed.
Given recent reports of DCPS and D.C. government budget deficits, and the fact that all of the proposed school closings were revealed by a cowardly leak to the press, Francis and Stevens parents or teachers have no reason to believe that these resources will be provided. This proposal, therefore, simply appears to be nothing more than a setup for failure and the basis for a potential state sponsored land sale of taxpayer-owned public school property to private developers. No doubt, it will be revealed that the property sales are linked to fiscal imbalances and bogus revenue projections.
What happened to genuine transparency and timely information to the public and D.C. Council? What happened to the millions of taxpayer dollars both school and D.C. government officials said was available for DCPS improvements during mayor Fenty's 2006 campaign and early 2007? Now we heard this December that the actual money needed for academic and structural improvements was "underestimated." Nevertheless, many six-figure salaries have been doled out for dubious duties and invisible results. Is it possible that District citizens are on the verge of another large-scale corruption scandal of misappropriated money? Follow the money in 2008 and beyond.
As a parent, I am a full supporter of the pre-k-to-8th grade school model, and have publicly advocated on its behalf. As a political activist, I am an even firmer advocate for community control within this model - as in citizen control of public schools. Just to be clear, citizen control is beyond the "parent involvement" touted and preferred by officials who view parents as outsiders. As such, I fully respect the desire of Stevens ES parents to keep their school open. Equally, and justifiably, I fully believe that Francis JHS should remain open, and be given the necessary resources to continue to provide a safe and empowered learning environment for our undervalued middle grade children.
Nationally, the middle grades education community realizes that in the middle years, the window for preparing our children for adulthood is growing smaller. We know that an environment that includes adults that are mistrustful of them and view them as predators is detrimental to their development and could push them to the point of alienation and no return. The same will be true when our little learners in elementary school become middle school students.
They are all our babies. Our shared concern for their personal safety and academic well-being should be just as strong for all District of Columbia students. We must work together as a community of united parents and teachers to provide the best learning environments for the success of all our students. Failure is not an option. No doubt, many of our public officials continue to prove through their actions, disinformation and secrecy they have a different agenda.
Miriam Moore,
Vice Chairperson,
District of Columbia Independents for Citizen Control

I carry much more disdain for the mouse. Not only is it uncomfortable and not very functional, but it's also actually difficult to operate.

Antiviral immune responses are initiated through Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and RIG-I (retinoic acid-inducible gene-I)-like RNA helicases that recognize nucleic acids from distinct viruses. In this study, we show that the tyrosine kinase c-Src participates in antiviral responses induced by the cytoplasmic RNA helicase RIG-I. Sendai virus (SV), which is recognized by RIG-I, induced c-Src phosphorylation. Functional impairment of c-Src through chemical inhibition or transient expression of a c-Src kinase-inactive mutant attenuated production of endogenous antiviral proteins after SV infection or after expression of RIG-I or its adapter protein MAVS. Importantly, SV-stimulated synthesis of antiviral proteins was significantly impaired in cells treated with c-Src small interfering RNA and in cells from c-Src-deficient mice. In addition, we found that c-Src interacted with components of the RIG-I pathway: RIG-I, MAVS, and TRAF3 (tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor-3). The interaction between c-Src and TRAF3 was found to occur within the RING domain of TRAF3. Taken together, our results suggest that c-Src enhances RIG-I-mediated signaling, acting at the level of TRAF3.

Acronym is designed to empower patients, encourage open discussion
Norfolk, VA (April 2012) – Sentara Healthcare, a leader in public education on Advance Care Planning, has launched an updated information program urging patients and their families to TALK.
TALK, of course, is an acronym: T – Take time to have the conversation with your physician and family. A – Always be open and honest. L – Leave no doubt about your values and preferences. K – Know that advance care planning is a quality of life choice. "It's important for patients and families to have the conversation before there's a medical crisis," says David Cochran, director of Ethics and Advance Care Planning for Sentara Healthcare. "If that conversation results in the patient filing an Advance Medical Directive, that's an ideal outcome."Nothing is worse for families than not knowing what their loved one wants," Cochran continues. "Having the TALK empowers patients and gives families guidance in making healthcare decisions when it counts the most."After more than a decade educating patients about Advance Care Planning, Sentara Healthcare has almost 30,000 Advance Medical Directives on file, either locally or through the U.S. Living Will Registry.Patients in Virginia and North Carolina can download informative materials and state-appropriate forms, watch a helpful video and link to authoritative sources at Advance Care Planning (Advance Directive) Reminders: Sentara Advance Care Planning Week April 16 to 20, 2012 Nat'l Healthcare Decisions Day, Monday, April 16.
