Hi AnnaJune. You're doing a great job on the CRISPR article. It could certainly do with improvement. Much of the content was a GoogleTranslate from the German WP article. --Paul (talk) 12:05, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the encouragement, Paul. :) I'd like to expand the article by incorporating some newer literature on CRISPR mechanism and some of the references in the "Future reading" section. AnnaJune (talk) 18:15, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
- Great! The project needs more editors like you. Are you working on CRISPRs yourself? A worthy goal might be to get the article up to Good Article status. I'll do what I can to help. --Paul (talk) 12:01, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- I do work on CRISPRs, and I like the goal. I lectured about CRISPR this year, and I know that some of my students used this article as a source of background information. My goal for today is to add a figure on the basic structure of a CRISPR locus. Slowly...I'm still learning how to edit. AnnaJune (talk) 14:33, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- Great! Drop me a line if you need any help. I've heard rumours that there are major efforts to make editing easier for people. Hopefully will see some big changes soon. Your efforts so far are excellent. TThe figure idea is good. I've been worried about the source of the existing primary figure for a while. It'd be good to get a replacement that has verifiable sources. --Paul (talk) 21:17, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

New medical organization[edit]
I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page.
Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders.
Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 21:16, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)[edit]
The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.
- Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
- Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
- If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Medical Translation Newsletter[edit]
This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice.note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you *sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject Medicine
Spotlight - Simplified article translation
Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.
Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
- WHO's list of Essential Medicines[1]
- Neglected tropical diseases[2]
- Key diseases for medical subspecialties like: oncology, emergency medicine (list), anatomy, internal medicine, surgery, etc.
We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.
What's happening?
- IEG grant
I've (CFCF) taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
- Wikimania 2014
For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
- Integration progress
There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as Dutch, Polish, and Swedish.
What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not MEDRS (Polish,German,Romanian,Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
- Swedish
Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: patient info, for professionals. The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and free encyclopedia of medical content. We want Wikipedia to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that.
Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May.
- Dutch
Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Wikipedia is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: Anafylaxie.
- Polish
Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Wikipedia has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Wikipedia does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article.
(This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned Template bot - to be released). - List of articles for integration
- Arabic
The Arabic Wikipedia community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Wikipedia facebook-groups: مجتمع ويكيبيديا العربي, something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.
- Integration guides
Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.
Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [3]

Seattle Mariners MLB news, including Seattle Mariners trades, roster, rumors, game and schedule information
The anatomy of a winning streak
The Mariners completed a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday, after outfielder Eric Thames drove in two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning and Tom Wilhelmsen tossed a scoreless ninth for the save in a 3-1 win. The dusting of the Tribe came on the heels of a three-game sweep of […] [Read More]
Felix Hernandez: 'I'm not going anywhere'
The whirlwind surrounding Felix Hernandez following the Seattle ace's perfect game last Wednesday continues to spin ever faster.

On Monday, he was rightfully named the American League's Player of the Week for the week of August 13-19. On Tuesday night, […] [Read More]
Ichiro takes Manhattan and then some
When the Mariners sent Ichiro to New York, the conventional wisdom went something like this: Great player in late-career decline, Seattle's smart to let him go and you have to wonder what the Yankees expect. For the moment, at least, the Yankees have the toast of the baseball world in New York. Sunday night on […] [Read More]
Mariners host 'Supreme Court' to honor Felix Hernandez
The Seattle Mariners are rolling out the red carpet for their King's next home start. Felix Hernandez will return to the Safeco Field mound against Cleveland on Tuesday, Aug. 21, to make his first start since throwing the first perfect game in franchise history Wednesday against Tampa Bay. To honor the occasion, the Mariners will […] [Read More]
On one of the hottest days, guess what the M's are giving away?
In a nod to the skyrocketing mercury around Seattle on a blistering mid-August weekend, the first 15,000 fans to arrive at Safeco Field on Friday night will receive … fleece blankets? OK, so the Mariners' ill-timed giveaway was actually announced way back in March, along with the rest of the franchise's promotions. And the team […] [Read More]
Randy Johnson congratulates Felix Hernandez on his perfect game
It's not every day you get a shout-out from one of the greatest pitchers to ever play baseball. Then again, it's not every day you throw a perfect game.

GM Jack Zduriencik keeps veterans in town to help young Mariners grow
After trading away relievers Brandon League and Steve Delabar on Monday, the Mariners didn't make any last-minute moves before Tuesday's MLB trade deadline.

text: Hey Everyone, My family and I are going to be going on a Cruise in October. We have decided to fly down the Friday before we ship out on Saturday and we want to spend a day in the park. Since we only have one day we want to spend it at the Magic Kingdom and I am afraid that there will be a MNSSHP that evening. Is there anyway to book a package for a hotel room, one day dining plan, but only buy the ticket to MNSSHP and not a regular park ticket? The reason why I am asking is because we won't be able to get to the park until about 4pm, which is when they allow the MNSSHP ticket holders into the park. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

From Our Editors
Mac's Tavern may be far nicer than Paddy's Pub from It?s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but they do have one thing in common?Mac's is owned by?Rob and Kaitlin McElhenney, who play Mac and Dee Reynolds on the show, along with a small group of their friends.
The building's house-like fa?ade has long been an Old City fixture. In the 1700s, it was the Skinner?s Dry Goods Store and served such famed customers as Benjamin Franklin, even though it refused to accept payment in the form of bills with his face on them. These days, more than 17 draft beers rotate through the taps behind the stained wood bar and a jukebox sets the background score.
Though the tavern itself is historic, Mac's dedicates itself to modernity, as evidenced by a seasonal menu that might list a roasted beet salad in a balsamic-caramel gastrique or buffalo chicken cheesesteak, a twist on the hometown staple. And every Sunday, the brunch burger arrogantly bestrides mealtimes with its topper of smoked bacon, a fried egg, and a seven-cheese sauce.

Dec. 10, 1958 E, BAUMANN ETAL 3,415,360l
RECEPTACLE FOR DENTAL PREPARATIONS Filed Dec. 19, 1966 INVENTORS ERWIN BAUMANN GERHARD BEHAM oEzsoE sTEnNHERz United States Patent O 3,415,360 RECEPTACLE FOR DENTAL PREPARATIONS Erwin Baumann, Nendeln, and Garhard Beham, Vaduz,
Liechtenstein, assignors to Etablissement Dentaire Ivoclar, Schaan, Germany Continuation-impart of application Ser. No. 471,986,
July 14, 1965. This application Dec. 19, 1966, Ser.
12 Claims. (Cl. 206--47) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A package for dental preparations comprising two telescoping members each open at one end and closed at the other end, one of the members having a separating means having an opening therein positioned in the open end thereof and a pouch positioned thereon between the separating means and the closed end wall of the other member, whereby upon telescoping of the two members together rupture of the pouch results in expelling of the contents therefrom, through the opening in the separating means and into the other member for mixing.
This `application is a continuation-impart of our patent application tiled in the name of Erwin Baumann and Gehard Beham under Ser. No. 471,986 on July 14, 1965, now abandoned.
It has been known that certain preparations used in dentistry consist of two or more ingredients which have to be kept in storage separately from each other and have to be mixed manually in predetermined proportions just before use in order to form mixtures which are then used as dental fillings, cements, amalgams, calcium hy droxide preparations, self-hardening dental plastics and any other mixed preparations of dentistry, or the like. It was contemplated by such mixing that the individual ingredients enter chemical reactions, due to which they can assume a final consistency.
However, it has been also known that this kind of procedure is not satisfactory, because it is ditlicult to obtain by manual mixing mixtures which lare uniform to the desired extent and contain the respective ingredients exactly in the prescribed proportions. For these reasons it has been suggested previously to provide capsules or the like in which the ingredients to be mixed are placed initially in spaces separated from each other and in which the separating means can be destroyed or removed just before use in dental practice, so that subsequently the various ingredients can be mixed. However, the suggestions of this type known from the prior -art had various disadvantages and, therefore, did not come in use in dental practice.
The main object of the present invention is the provision of receptacles which have several compartments, in which several ingredients may be separately stored in the desired exactly predosed quantities.
Another object of the invention consists in the provision of a receptacle, in which the separately stored ingredients may be mixed, substantially homogenously, with each other by subjecting the receptacle to shaking, tumbling, or the like, without exposing the ingredients to contact with air, humidity, dust, or the like.
` Still another object of this invention is to provide receptacles for dental materials which can be easily transported and carried and which will enable them to be stored without change and to be made ready for instant use without deterioration.
Other objects and the advantages of the invention will become apparent from the more detailed description of the receptacles embodying the invention and from the 3,415,360 Patented Dec. 10, 1968 ICC appended drawings which illustrate by way of example some embodiments of the invention.
In the drawings,
FIGURE l diagrammatically illustrates a preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIGURES 2-4 diagrammatically illustrate somewhat modified embodiments of the receptacle according to the invention, and FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of the receptacle shown in FIGURE l;
FIGURES 6-9 are similar illustrations of somewhat modified receptacles according to the invention.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, in FIG. 1 reference numeral 1 denotes a cylindrical container part closed at its bottom and open at its opposite end. Said cylindrical container 1, which is of circular cross-section, serves for receiving a pulverulent ingredient 3. A circular flange 8 of a circular plug 8 rests on the circular upper edge 1 of cylindrical part 1 and said plug has in its center an opening 8". The upper surface of plug 8 has a slight incline from its periphery toward its central opening 8". The edge of the open upper end of cylindrical part 1 is slightly inward beveled at 1 in order to provide `a satisfactory seat for plug 8. On the upper surface of plug 8 a sealed cushion-like plastic pouch 9, filled with liquid 6 is placed between plug 8 and top 11 of cap 10, which telescopically engages the outer cylindrical surface of member 1. If desired, a disc 12 of rubber or similar material may be placed between the upper surface of pouch 9 and the inner surface 13 of top 11, and said inner surface may have a slight convex curvature, as shown in FIG. 1. Upon pressing cap 10 downward in the drawing, pouch 9 is ruptured and from the pouch the liquid 6 flows through opening S" into member 1, which contains the pulverulent material. Said rubber disc facilitates complete emptying of the pouch 9, upon applying pressure to cap 10.
FIGURES 2-4 illustrate slightly modified embodiments of the invention shown in FIG. l in which identical reference numerals have the same, or similar, -meaning as in FIGURE 1.
In FIGURE 2, the inner surface 13 of top 11 does not have said slightly convex curvature and in FIGURE 3 the upper surface of plug 8 does not have the slight incline from the periphery to the center. In FIGURE 4, the rubber disc 12 has one surface of slightly convex curvature.
In FIGURE 6, 1 denotes a cylindrical member which serves for receiving the pulverulent ingredient 3. An insert `resting on the upper edge of cylindrical member 1, haspreferably in its center--a conical or prism-shaped mandrel 12, directed toward the cushion-shaped pouch 9. On the base of the insert there are several bores, best shown in FIG. 6A, to permit liquid 6 to flow downward upon rupture of the pouch 9. Upon pressing cap 9 toward member 1, the pouch is ruptured and. the liquid 6 flows downward into member 1, which contains the pulverulent ingredient 3.
In FIGURE 7 the receptacle has a cylindrical member 1 for receiving the pulverulent material and a cap 10 of the design shown in this iigure. This cap is bowl-shaped and the liquid'component is lled into the cavity of the cap and sealed therein by means of a foil 15. An insert 16, which is placed in and tits tightly into cylinder 1, is provided in its center with a bore. Upon pressing cap 10 and cylinder 1 toward each other, rupture of the foil 15 is caused and the liquid component flows into member 1.
In the receptacle shown in FIG. 8, the liquid component is sealed in a ring-shaped container 17 of plastic material. The upper edge of the cylindrical receptacle member 1 is reinforced to such extent that it serves as support for member 17. It parts 1 and 10 are pressed toward each other, member 17 is ruptured and the liquid component flows into member 1.
In FIG. 9, cylindrical member 1 is partially doublewalled and member 1t) can be introduced into member as shown. Said member 1t) is closed on one of its end surfaces only, before liquid is introduced into it. After filling in the liquid component, the other end of member 1t) is sealed with a foil 15 and is then inserted into member 1 as shown in the drawing. Upon vigorously pressing parts i and 16 toward each other, the foil 15 is ruptured and the liquid iiows into and mixes with the pulverulent material in member 1.
The elements of the receptacles described herein can be made of any suitable material which is sufficiently rigid or rm under ordinary atmospheric conditions at room temperature, to permit handling the receptacle after rupture of the pouch in a mixing or tumbling device of the like, without deformation of the shape of the receptacle. Such materials are, for example, thermosetting or thermoplastic plastics, eg. polystyrene, polypropylene and the like, which are preferred, but also metals. The sealed plastic pouch is preferably made of thin layers or foils which are capable of heat sealing and are substantially impermeable to impurities, steam or gases. It has been found to be of advantage to prepare the pouch for liquids of a base member capable of being relatively easily ruptured and consisting of composite aluminum-polyethylene sheeting, while the top of thc pouch may consist of composite polyethylene-aluminum sheeting, to `which a sheeting of cellophane is fastened cy an adhesive.
As described above, rupture of the pouch, or the like, can be effected by moving the upper and lower member of the receptacle toward each other. This can be done either manually or by a simple device, in which such movement of the two members is brought about by moving a lever.
Part of the outer surface of the first member and part of the outer surface of the second member of the receptacle may be tknurled, as shown in FIGURE 5.
After entrance of the liquid component into the receptacle member containing the solid ingredient7 the receptacle disclosed above permits the obtaining of a homogeneous mix, which may be paste-like, for example by placing said receptacle in a mechanically operated shaking mechanism or device, in which the receptacle is subjected to a high number of fast shaking motions per minute.
What is claimed is:
1. A receptacle for storing and mixing a preparation consisting of at least one liquid and one pulverulent solid ingredient which have to be maintained separate until they are admixed shortly before using the preparation, said receptacle comprising first and second substantially rigid, hollow members arranged in connected end to end relationship to define an elongated shaped close receptacle, one of said members having a tubular side wall, a closed end and an open end, said member being adapted to house the pulverulent solid ingredient which is inserted therein through the open end, the other of said members having a tubular side wall complemental to and connected at one of its ends with the tubular side wall of the one member at the open end of the one member and the other of said members having its side wall closed ofi at the other end so that the other of the members defines an enclosure, a frangible pouch of impermeable flexible plastic material sealingly enclosing completely the liquid ingredient and bodily disposed Within and encompassingly housed by the other of the members, said pouch having opposing first and second faces disposed transversely of the receptacle, means of a rigid material nature fixedly disposed at and surrounding at least a part of the open end of the one member and arranged normal to the longitudinal axis of said member and defining a first rigid pressure surface, sai-d pouch being freely seated at its first face on said first rigid pressure surface, said means defining said rst rigid pressure surface being provided lwith passage means arranged therethrough in longitudinal direction relative to the one member and providing a ow passage for the liquid in the pouch, when the liquid is released from the pouch, into the interior of the one member, and means of a rigid material nature carried by the other of the members and disposed normal to the longitudinal axis of the receptacle and defining a second rigid pressure surface which is disposed in facing position with respect to the second face of the pouch, said pressure surfaces lying in parallel planes, and means for moving the first and second rigid pressure surfaces relative towards each other and into compressing engagement of the opposite faces of the pouch so as to initially produce a rupture of the pouch and then to effect, upon further relative movement of the rigid pressure surfaces toward each other, forcefully complete expulsion of substantially all the liquid from the pouch and forced passage thereof into the interior of the one member where it can be admixed with the pulverulent ingredient already contained therein so that the ingredients become mixed exactly in the desired proportion.
2. The invention of claim 1 wherein said means defining the second rigid pressure Surface includes a closed end wall on the other member and said means for moving the pressure surfaces compressingly relative to each other comprises a telescopic slidable interfitting engagement between the side walls of the two members.

Ostara, The First Resurrection & The Easter Bunny
in Religion
With Ostara only two days away from this show, Lady T welcomes back Shandarramon to Wicce Women to discuss The Sabbat of Ostara, how and why we worship it and the many ways to celebrate it.
The discussion will focus upon the history of Easter and the rich associations between the Christian faith 'and The practices of Paganism.The Easter history and traditions that are practiced today "evolved" from Pagan symbols and celebrations: from the ancient Goddess Ishtar to Easter eggs and the Easter Bunny. Easter, perhaps the most important of the Christian holidays, celebrates the Christ's resurrection from the dead following his death on Good Friday. . . a rebirth that is commemorated around the Vernal Equinox, historically a time of Pagan celebration that coincides with the arrival of spring and symbolizes the arrival of light and the awakening of life around us.
Eggs, Bunnies, The Dawn that arrives with Resurrection of life, and the celebration of Spring all serve to remind us of the cycle of rebirth and the need for renewal in our lives. As The Wheel turns once more,we are reminded of tolerance and as such gracefully accept the interwoven tradions of Pagans and Christians.
This informative show is a must 'see' and Lady T welcomes callers to offer their opinions and questions during this broadcast.

Divorcing a Real Witch author Diana Rajchel
in Self Help
Lady Tara Welcomes Diana Rajchel, the former executive editor for the Pagan Newswire Collective, the network founded by Jason Pitzl-Waters of the Wild Hunt. Diana, who works as a journalist, author, blogger and general creative author is a 3rd degree Wiccan priestess in the Shadowmoon tradition an American Eclectic Wiccan tradition.
Divorcing a Real Witch: For Pagans and the People that Used to Love Them (Paperback – May 30, 2014) addresses the painful emotional journey of divorce from a Wiccan perspective, sharing accounts cultivated from over 200 Pagans about divorces, short-term handfastings and how religious conversion affected their marriage or was fueled in the aftermath of divorce. Along with sharing her own experience, Diana Rajchel solicits the experiences and advice of other Pagans on how to handle this life passage.
Those who do know of her likely remember her from her 90s era website Medea's Chariot or from her 10+ years of contributions to Llewellyn annuals along with occasional submissions to Circle Magazine, SageWoman, the Beltane Papers and Facing North. Her writing style is notable among Pagan writers because it almost never begins with a description of a walk in the woods. When it does … look for the rolling head. There always seems to be a rolling head after that.

The State Department is now the leading user of technology tools for diplomacy, or e-diplomacy, with more than 150 full-time personnel applying it in programs such as the internal Diplopedia wiki and Corridor social media network, according to a new study.
But e-diplomacy has been slower to catch on with other foreign ministries, in part because its applications are still evolving and hard to define, Fergus Hanson, visiting fellow in e-diplomacy at the Brookings Institution. He also is a research fellow at the Lowy Institute for International Policy, a think tank based in Australia.
"The slow pace of adaptation to e-diplomacy by many foreign ministries suggests there is a degree of uncertainty over what e-diplomacy is all about, what it can do and how pervasive its influence is going to be," Hanson wrote in the paper, which was recently published online by the Lowy Institute. Hanson researched e-diplomacy at State on a four-month research grant.
E-diplomacy is defined in the study as the use of Web and new information and communication technologies for diplomatic objectives. The tools include wikis and social networks, and some tools still in development will allow for even more customization and connectivity between users, the study said.
At State's headquarters in Washington, DC., there are currently 25 separate e-diplomacy nodes with 150 full-time-equivalent staff, according to Hanson. Citing a separate study, he added that another 935 overseas staff also are employing e-diplomacy tools, to some degree, or the equivalent of 175 full-time personnel.
The department is utilizing e-diplomacy for eight missions, including public diplomacy, Internet Freedom, Consular communications, Disaster Response and Policy Planning, the report said. The tools being used include Twitter, Facebook, Tech@ State conferences and the Virtual Student Foreign Affairs Officer program.
It also is using the IT tools internally for knowledge management, including the Diplopedia internal wiki and Corridor internal social media network.

Oregon State begins their season with a home loss to Coppin State
Nov 10, 2013, 10:51 PM EDT
In case there was any question as to how much Oregon State would miss the suspended front court tandem of Devon Collier and Eric Moreland, we found out on Sunday night.
Collier and Moreland combined to average 22.0 points and 16.6 points per game last season, and without those two the Beavers struggled mightily on offense in their 78-73 loss to Coppin State. Senior Roberto Nelson established a new career high with 36 points on 12-for-26 shooting, but the rest of the team combined to shoot just 33.3% (11-for-33) from the field.
Angus Brandt, making his return to the court after missing most of last season with a torn ACL, scored 13 points and Victor Robbins added 11, but the majority of the scoring from Oregon State players other than Nelson came in the latter stages of the contest. Coppin State certainly deserves credit for the result, with point guard Taariq Cephas dishing out eight assists and Sterling Smith (21 points) and Arnold Fripp (17 points, nine rebounds) leading the way offensively.
And despite Oregon State's status, this is an important victory for Fang Mitchell's program when you consider the fact that the Eagles entered Sunday 0-16 all-time against Pac-12 opponents. And there's also the matter of how poorly the MEAC as a whole has performed against "power conference" programs over the last two seasons.
The good news for Oregon State is that Collier will return from his suspension on Wednesday night when the Beavers host Portland, but this result does nothing for head coach Craig Robinson in a pivotal season for the program.
Oregon State was picked by the coaches to finish 10th in the Pac-12 this season, so the struggles are somewhat predictable. But these are the games a program looking to establish itself cannot afford to lose. In a conference that's expected to be better this season (and also doesn't lack for "hot seat" candidates), Oregon State needs all the wins they can get before league play starts in January.
And in order to turn things around, it's quite obvious that they need some players to step up offensively to help Nelson with the heavy lifting.
- Sideline Mob - Nov 11, 2013 at 3:21 AM
Is it just Oregon State's 2013 mantra to lose to inferior competition in their season openers? Oregon State football to FCS Eastern Washington, basketball to Coppin State…
- seanb20124 - Nov 11, 2013 at 8:55 AM
How does Craig Robinson keep his job?
- gquesen - Nov 11, 2013 at 10:58 AM
Man, generally speaking, it's going to take the Beavs a lllloooonnnngggg time to catch up with the ducks from a sports standpoint.

The truth is that admission is more than test scores and a faultless transcript. The school wants to get to know you as much as possible. Who are you? What subjects do you like? What sports do you enjoy? What is your favorite pastime? Behind all those recommendations and test scores is a real person with dreams, aspirations and hopes. A private school wants to encourage you and help you be all you can be.
The admissions staff are not looking for geniuses or stars. If you have good math grades and think that you might like to explore math in depth, a private school can make that happen. Maybe you want to play hockey on a really good team. Again, the right private school can make that happen. But you will not find the right school for you unless you open up and lay all your dreams and aspirations on the table. Once you do that, the admissions staff can begin to explore all the possibilities with you.
One of the great things about private schools is that they encourage excellence and a well-rounded person. You don't have to be afraid of what others will think if your passion is solving quadratic equations. If you are crazy about horses and can't imagine life without mucking stables every day, then a private school will be just the ticket.
But it won't stop there. The school will gently nudge you into other activities and settings with the sole purpose of rounding you and balancing your interests. Private schools encourage academic excellence, but require you to engage in athletic activities several times a week. You cannot duck them either lke you can do in a public school. They are mandatory. This from Miss Porter's FAQs is typical: "Every student is required to participate in either a team sport or sport class each season."
It all starts with you. As you explore all those admissions materials, view books, videos and Web sites, picture yourself in that school setting. Imagine yourself in your classroom, in your dorm room or on the soccer field. It is a wonderful feeling being with others who are just as passionate as you are about the same things. It all starts with you.

This Month's Learning Innovation: Gaming at Propel Braddock Hills
The ninth graders in Matt Fuchs' English class at Propel Braddock Hills High School are furiously hunched over their computers. In the front of the class, an image is projected on a large screen. At closer view, it looks like they're playing video games. Yes, that's exactly what they are doing – and on class time. What's going on here?
"They are using Minecraft (a video game) to study the abuse of power as well as a narrative writing unit," Matt, their teacher, explains. "We set up this little community on Minecraft EDU, and we put a hierarchy in place. Some kids are politicians who were elected by the class, so it's half a social experiment to see how they handle that power and that will become a reflective piece for them later on. That's our Civics' link up.
"For the English portion, the kids are journaling as their characters, and every day they owe me a daily journal based on what they did in the game. They are writing based on the game's character's perspective. It gives them a basis for their narrative work," Matt continues. "They are these characters, and they write as these characters. But because it's set in a fictional world they can expand – they can become creative."
More and more educators are using games in their classes. Matt, for example, hooks up with the Civics teacher to look at issues like social justice – based on the Minecraft game. "The basic principle," he says, "comes back to student engagement. That's one of the core beliefs that I have as an educator. And I mean, let's face it, kids love games. They'll play them whether you want them to or not, so it's a matter of harnessing that power and that draw and using that for my English purposes, as devious as they are."
At Propel Braddock Hills High School School of Innovation and Design, games play a big part in the curriculum. There are courses in video game design. Students in the Shop class just produced a mini-golf course as a class project – with help and input from the Geometry and Engineering classes. Art and Shop students design arcade cabinets and decorate them. There are classic video games in the school loft where students can come and "chill out" between classes. And students participated in a national game conference held at Propel this past October.
Co-Principal Justin Aglio believes that all forms of gaming have great merit educationally. "Games are important because number one, it's problem solving. But we also like games because they give students an opportunity to fail, keep retrying, and retrying over and over again. It's an important life skill, to be able to fail at something and then go ahead and continue it and be successful at it."
Justin is proud of the breadth of "gaming" offered at Propel. "This past fall, for example, we held a national game conference here, with over 100 educators from eight states attending, talking about how educators can use games to help students in the classroom. We also had something called JamTek, where students were able to participate in a one day session to learn how to make a video game in one day. Then they got the chance to showcase that game at the end of the day."
Teachers use the Pennsylvania Common Core standards in all of these classes, and they teach according to the state requirements. But they are getting very creative in how to bring skills – like writing, math, art, and engineering – to students in a non-traditional way.
"Our teachers plan with our game design teacher to create a lesson that's meaningful for the students. Everything we do, we focus on our students," Justin says. "Gaming is going to help our students in the future because it helps them learn to use strategy. They learn critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, and they have the option to just have fun with it and continue to grow."
"Our students get their hands on something and get to play with it; they're learning concepts but having fun with it. And most importantly, they're learning critical skills for the 21st Century," Justin adds.
They also develop pride in their work. Student Josh proudly shows off the video arcade game in the school's entrance hallway that he helped design. "We started out with just a big sheet of plywood," Josh explains. "I cut it down, made all the shapes and then I pretty much pieced it together piece by piece and customized it from that. I wired it up all by myself," he says. "I see a lot of kids using my game, and I'm surprised they like it so much," he adds with a big smile on his face.
Back in Matt Fuchs' English class, the students are still fully engaged, working away on their computers. "From watching the students work in their 'communities,' I see them developing skills like cooperation, digital citizenship, time planning skills – all these things they're going to need throughout their lives. But they get to learn it playing it out in this little digital world."
Avonworth Middle School is a "School to Watch"
Avonworth Middle School has been redesignated for a second time as a "Pennsylvania Don Eichhorn Schools: School to Watch." The Middle School was first designated as a School to Watch in 2009 and received its first re-designation in 2012. The Schools to Watch program recognizes schools achieving academic excellence, based on criteria established by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform.
Middle School principal Mike Hall acknowledged, "We are thrilled to receive our second redesignation as a Schools to Watch school. The entire STW process pushes us to continually look for ways to improve while keeping the developmental needs of middle school students a top priority."
Middle school administrators and staff members were recognized at the Pennsylvania Association for Middle Level Education State Conference in February. A recognition celebration will also be held at the school this spring, and in June the middle school will be recognized at the National Schools to Watch Conference. Avonworth Middle School is one of only seven schools in Pennsylvania to be re-designated twice.

Family Matters: Following the crowd can mean losing your way
Do you ever wonder what's the meaning of the sagging pants, the shortest skirts imaginable, and some of the other fashions that make you want to look away? We can blame it on conformity. Bernard M. Baruch is credited with saying "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." Thus begins the debate, to conform or to rebel.

Were now eating the exhaust of the massive Anthem breach and predictably, a Google search serves up hundreds of commentary pieces about this being the wake-up call, the call to arms, a turning point for healthcare data security.
Cleveland Clinic and Cox Communications may have "buried the lead" that is, hidden the most important news deep in a recent announcement of their new collaborative telehealth venture, Vivre Health, which is slated to deliver health services to patients' homes via their broadband Internet connection.
I grew up in the Detroit area, where grandmothers and infants were expected to know how to replace a fuel gauge sensor and wire brush battery connections. So I always like to check the latest and greatest at auto shows, which for years have been all about piling on fuel efficiency features and on-board communication systems and trying to make hybrids and EVs viable options for the masses.
Although the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services established the Physician Quality Reporting System in 2006, for the past few years the pay-for-reporting program has pretty much been relegated to the back burner for most physician practices. Not by choice as much as by necessity.
80 million? Is a breach of protected health information at Anthem for upward of 80 million individuals enough to push Americas healthcare industry and its regulators to get more serious about encryption?
Information security continues to be influenced by various forces, including threats, regulations and fundamental changes in healthcare and information technologies. Their impact on information security is increasing and next year will be another busy one for those who are tasked with protecting confidential information. Brian Evans shares discusses how four security trends may play out in 2015,

Would like to know if this property is a bad investment or not
I would like your opinions on whether a condo owned by a friend on mine is a bad investment or not. A friend of mine bought a three bedroom condominium in Laguna Niguel in Orange County a few miles from the ocean about five years ago for $490,000. Since the beginning he has only paid the interest and taxes on the place and none of the principal because he cannot afford anymore than the interest and taxes. Because he could not make the payments a few years ago the lender reduced the interest rate to just under 4% and extended the mortgage from thirty years to forty. The current payment, both interest and taxes, is $2600 per month. The condo also dropped in value when the bubble bursted by how much I donÂt know but probably a significant amount. The condo probably will not reach the original $490,000 value again because the reason that real estate values went so high was the ease of lending which probably wonÂt happen again because lending is more regulated now and lending institutions are not as heavily backed by the insurance industry so heavily hit when the bubble bursted as a result of the economic downswing. When doing the present value calculations of the mortgage payments on the condo and comparing that to rents of a comparable place in a comparable area the condo is almost definitely a better deal than renting in the long run but when compared to condos in a more reasonably priced area the difference in the total amount paid on interest is huge. Also, since my friend will probably only have one other person contributing to the mortgage payment throughout the length of the mortgage a two bedroom condo in a cheaper area makes even more investment sense. My friend says that he can short sell the condo and get away with not having to pay for the drop in value to get the place off his hands. I believe short selling the place and eventually buying a two bedroom condo in a cheaper but still nice area for around $300,000 is the best option out of keeping the condo he has, renting in the same area, or renting a two bedroom place in southern California in an area that is cheaper yet still pleasant. What do you think?
The *REAL* cold-hearted amoral strategic question is...
Which is more likely to happen faster;
A) Your friend's credit heals & recovers from the shortsale, and the required time passes for lenders to ignore his prior transgressions,
B) The coastal Orange County condo market comes back & appreciates beyond the gain he would get by shortselling out of his existing commitment.
I'd expect #B to be more likely to happen sooner... but again, this is the AMORAL consideration.
Luck to your friend!

"The condo probably will not reach the original $490,000 value again because the reason that real estate values went so high was the ease of lending which probably wonÂt happen again because lending is more regulated now and lending institutions are not as heavily backed by the insurance industry so heavily hit when the bubble bursted as a result of the economic downswing. "
I'd give the odds of this statement being true at about 0%. 50 years from now, your friend will look back and tell his grandkids how people used to be able to buy a house for "ONLY" a half mil. The question is IF property values will rebound but WHEN. Unfortunately, nobody knows the answer.
BTW - your friend really needs to consult a lawyer. California law is pretty strange for foreclosures and short sales. The recourse rules change if you refinance but I'm not sure if they treat the loan restructuring the same way. He may be right about being able to "get away with it" but I wouldn't assume that is necessarily true.
"Of course the prices will be above what they were five years ago, but not likely when adjusted for inflation. Always think and speak in real dollars."
If you don't think property prices will ever increase in real dollars, then why are you recommending your friend by real estate?
There's more to consider. Where is this owner working and must he live in a certain area to maintain his employment? Is this friend the only resident of the condo? If the friend has kids, where could he or she move where the schools are as good as where he is now? If the friend plans to move to a southern California $300,000 condo, is the new neighborhood truly comparable? I doubt it. Not enough information here.
"I would like your opinions on whether a condo owned by a friend on mine is a bad investment or not."
Obviously it is a bad investment. An investment gives you a return. I doubt he will ever see a return on this condo the way he is paying for it now - on a 40-year mortgage. At that rate he will build equity at a snail's pace. He is probably paying a high interest rate for that 40-year albatross too.
He has property tax and HOA dues as well - which I guess add another $700 or so to his monthly nut.
It's crazy. He is a victim of his own greed, which has turned around and bit him, hard, on his behind - which should be in a rental. Nothing wrong with renting.
Orange country RE is up/down and all the way between. Relative lives in area and houses built by a spec. developer asked over 1m, sold 2 for much less, and the other 3 still not sold--only 1/2 mile from ocean.
Talk to lawyer first before you do anything. By the way, these houses have been empty for at least 2 years.
