Care by the community
Filed under: Uncategorized
Hardly a day goes by without a new story about the crisis of care. Yesterday a report from the Daycare Trust highlighted the continuing and deepening problems of childcare affordability. Costs are highest in London, where the average cost of a full time nursery place for a child under two is now £14,000 per annum. Provision beyond the school day for older pupils is also becoming much more expensive.
Today there was research from Carers UK showing that more than one in five adults have seen their work affected by caring responsibilities. An estimated 2.3 million people in the UK – among whom the hardest hit are 45-54 year olds – have left jobs to care for a loved one, with many more reducing their hours. And just in case we thought the problem was all about quality not quantity there is this reminder from Wales of the frequency of scandals in care settings.
As I said in an earlier post, society's capacity for providing care is a diamond comprising the market, the state, close family and the wider community. Thinking about how to generate more and better care involves looking at the contribution from each source but also, more importantly, understanding the relationship – sometimes additive sometimes subtractive – between them.
Arguably, for example, the problem of informal care by families is oversupply. As the Daycare Trust and Carers UK are pointing out, the need to provide care and the costs of buying it are the crucial factor inhibiting maternal employment and increasingly important in keeping older people from full time work.
Voluntary care by the wider community is by far the least substantial of the major sources of care. But is has a vital advantage; unlike the other sources, increasing it does not have problematic knock-on effects.
So how might we go about achieving a step change in the contribution made by the community? As with all complex social problems, the best solutions combine the forces of individual aspiration, collective values and hierarchical leadership and capacity.
This suggests a number of ingredients:
Incentivised volunteering: there is often a false dichotomy between paid and voluntary labour. In fact, small incentives – well below – market value can be enough to persuade someone to do something which gives the non-material reward of pride and satisfaction. I think, for example, the debate about the possibility of providing some remuneration to school governors is entirely welcome. As well as various ways of giving people rewards for volunteering, one idea might be to link the need for care to another great and growing need – affordable housing. How about providing a fast track to social housing for people who agree to give a certain number of hours of care to neighbours?
Structured reciprocity: Perhaps I am being unfair but despite a hundred and one experiments, it remains to be seen whether time banking can make a really big and sustained impact on community capacity. Most people's reaction to the Japanese scheme in which people who have moved away from their ageing parents 'swap' responsibility for supporting them is that it wouldn't work in our culture. So although it must be part of the solution there is still some way to go in finding ways of building reciprocal capacity.
New norms: I have written before of my idea of a national young people's care service. Whatever anyone thinks of that we need to explore how we can make helping to look after people other than ones loved ones as normal and common as, say, spending time getting fitter.
Enabling regulation: We all know how the necessary measures to ensure child safety have acted as real and perceived block to voluntary work with kids. We need forms of hard and soft regulation which are developed to make it easier and less risky to care. For example, (I know Alex Fox will correct me if I am wrong) I think one part of the Shared Lives scheme in which families offer support to adults with problems is a guarantee that if things go wrong the charity will relieve the family of its responsibilities no questions asked.
In all these areas technology, and especially big data and social media, could play an important role in innovation.
There are elements of all these ideas happening somewhere in Britain or around the world. The problem is finding sufficient investment, commitment and patience to take new ideas for voluntary care to scale. But unless the alarming headlines are to continue indefinitely we really have no choice but to keep trying.
How much do we care?
Filed under: Public policy, The RSA
The question 'how do we meet society's need for care ?' has emerged as one of the most important and intractable we face. We need to see it as a challenge not just for policy makers or care professionals but for society as a whole and for the values and capabilities we need to thrive in the coming era.
On Monday we had an important, and in my view welcome, announcement by the Coalition, of its response to the Dilnot Commission . It is true that the new policy will not be implemented for four years and that in relation to the overall problem of social care it will only offer some help to some people, but it does at least provide a framework which can subsequently be built upon (this is often the best way to introduce policy change).
Today there is (yet) another expose of poor care standards. In this case it is the home care services and their commissioners and providers in the frame .
I am also told that on Friday the ONS will be publishing an estimate of the total value of informal care, something that will no doubt highlight how little support unpaid carers feel they receive from the state and wider society.
Fundamentally, the problem is simple: whether we are talking about children, adults or elders there is not enough free and affordable care to go around. It is a very specific example of what I have termed the social aspiration gap – separating the society we would like to live in from the one resulting from our current behaviours and attitudes.
In effect we have silently abandoned the welfare state's promise to offer universal decency and collective insurance against predictable risks. One economic consequence is that among over fifties and mothers we have lower employment rates than many other countries and this is drag on economic performance. This problem is leading to millions of our fellow citizens suffering today and without concerted societal action things will only get worse.
There are a thousand and one ideas and initiatives to close the care gap and we have discussed many of them here at the RSA. For example, Circles of Care – which was developed by Participle is often quoted and I am a great fan of Shared Lives, but it is proving hard to scale up these and make a substantial difference to the underlying problem.
Practical innovation must continue but alongside it, indeed supporting it, we need a much bigger debate about care and society. We tend to see the care crisis as the result of the interaction of economics (public spending and market supply) and demography (ageing and the birth rate), but there are surely other factors at play.
Whatever pious words we utter, care (both formal and informal) is a low status activity. Both interpersonally and collectively we find it hard to talk honestly about the experience of caring as something which combines great rewards and satisfaction with drudgery and resentment. On Friday the ONS will come up with a big figure for the value on informal care but it is not a value you will see reflected in the national accounts. This is not unrelated to the fact that caring is seen as 'women's work' and also our ambivalence about whether the child care and elder care is primarily a familial or a social responsibility.
Talking more honestly about care, enhancing our ability and willingness to provide care – not just to loved ones but as part of a wider social effort, using care – rather than the more nebulous 'well-being' – as a prism through which to re-examine the way we think about economic and social value: All this is necessary.
I am planning to make the care society the focus of my annual RSA lecture, and tomorrow I will float a practical idea I have to improve public attitudes and develop care capabilities.
Not local, not big, and not clever?
Filed under: Public policy, The RSA
Two stories of unmet social need have featured in the news in the last 24 hours. First, there was David Cameron's announcement of matched funding to tackle the problems of dysfunctional families. Second, there is today's report by the Royal College of Psychiatrists highlighting failings in care for patients with dementia. One aspect of these stories is the apparent fading of two key Government principles; localism and the Big Society.
Although we are told Eric Pickles fought off an even more centralised approach, the troubled families scheme will effectively mandate local expenditure on a priority chosen by central Government. The content of the scheme is also likely to be tightly specified by Whitehall. This may not be a bad thing. I am sure my old friend Louise Casey could make a strong argument both that councils should be forced to invest in this area and that there are tried and tested techniques which every scheme should apply. But this effective imposition of a priority through earmarked funds stands in contrast to Eric Pickles' promises when he abolished Local Area Agreements, the mechanism through which councils negotiated their priorities with Whitehall.
An even more striking example of central control comes in the response of Care Services Minister Paul Burstow to the RCP report. Apparently, next year will see the introduction of a financial incentive to encourage hospitals in England to screen patients for dementia when they are admitted for other conditions. It is hard to see how this kind of micro-management fits with the promise that health commissioning will be localised.
In both cases the Government can claim it is using incentives rather than targets and regulation, but when there is too little money to go around ear marked funds are surely as powerful in driving behaviour as any target.
Also noteworthy in both these stories is the absence of an explicit role for the community in addressing problems. As I argued a few weeks ago in response to the Care Quality Commission's findings of terrible hospital care for vulnerable elderly people, a crucial factor is the place of family, friends and volunteers providing care and advocacy which goes beyond the basics of medical treatment. I don't have any evidence to prove my point, but I am willing to bet a substantial sum that a key variable in the quality of institutional care received by older people is simply the number of visitors they have.
The extended family and wider community also have a crucial role to play in helping troubled families. The RSA's own work with people recovering from substance abuse addiction has developed a strategy in which service users design and help provide the services they need with a particular emphasis on engaging other individuals and organisations across their locality. The aim is to create what we call 'a recovery community'.
An impressive example of an approach with similar principles is Shared Lives. This long established and expanding scheme involves local co-ordinators identifying and supporting families who are willing to open up their homes and lives to vulnerable people. The families get back up, advice, help if things go wrong and something towards costs, but the scheme is based on relationships not transactions, love and compassion not service requirements.
In the context of growing needs and shrinking budgets it is crucial to develop interventions which successfully blend public services and funding with self-help, co-production and community mobilisation. This should be the golden thread running through every Government public service initiative. That it is not is yet another sign of the failure of the Big Society narrative to be understood or gain traction in Whitehall.
Social care innovation points the way
Filed under: Public policy, The RSA
Usually when I get asked to speak, it is on a specialist subject. Yesterday, for example I had a great time delivering the Edward Boyle Memorial Lecture, on twenty first century enlightenment, to Fellows and some non Fellows in Leeds. It is still more challenging when I am asked to speak on a topic which goes beyond my current (limited) expertise. As the date of the event approaches I get into a spin and rely heavily on the 'idiot's guides' churned out by Ben Dellot from our Projects team, who doubles up as my occasional research assistant. But it also means I have to become reasonably informed about a new topic and, sometimes, it spurs me into thinking about whether there is any scope for a wider RSA intervention.
Tonight I am speaking at the National Care Forum annual review and this has got me doing some thinking about the future of care. I won't bore readers with my whole argument but I thought there might be some interest in one key point.
I am going to argue that we need many kinds of innovation if we are to close the care gap (between what individuals and the state can afford and what is needed). The gap is already widening as local authorities withdraw all but essential care and the Centre for Social Justice said this week it will grow by an additional £6 billion over the next two decades.
The areas of invention which most interests me tend to be at the intersection of three trends. First, the growth in personal and community based commissioning (Turning Point are doing some great work on the latter). Second, the search for ways of bridging and smoothing the divide between paid and unpaid care. Third, new ways of thinking about the economics of care, utilising not just money but other commodities such as time and housing.
There is a danger the audience will have heard of all of these but I am going to describe three ideas which I think are particularly powerful pointers to the direction we need to take if we are better to tap into the 'hidden wealth' of people's willingness to share, care and connect.
Caring Relationship Tickets is a Japanese community currency created in 1995 by the Sawayaka Welfare Foundation so that people could earn credits helping seniors in their community.
The basic unit of account is an hour of service to an elderly person. Sometimes seniors help each other and earn the credits, other times family members in other communities earn credits and transfer them to their parents who live elsewhere. For example, an elderly woman who no longer has a driver's license; if you shop for her, you get credit for that, based on the kind of service and the number of hours. These credits accumulate- users may keep them for when they become sick or elderly themselves, then use the credits in exchange for services. Alternatively, the users may transfer credits to someone else.
An interesting lesson from the project has been that the elderly tend to prefer the services provided by people paid in the tickets over those paid in yen.To convert this community service to yen would seem to dilute the community ethic.
Closer to home there is Southwark Circles of Care, the flagship in a network of 'Circles' that extends to Hammersmith & Fulham in West London and just last month to Suffolk County Council. The concept and business model has been co-designed and developed over three years with over 1,000 older people and their families, in conjunction with the cutting edge service design consultancy, Participle.
The service is delivered by a distributed network of people called Neighbourhood Helpers. These are people of all ages who share their talents and skills; many are also members and some are paid the London Living wage for their time. Each Circle is designed to be self-sustaining within a three-year launch period, and is supported by the Local Authority as it grows towards this milestone.
Third, Shared Lives and Homeshare which are both initiatives developed and supported by NAAPS. Shared Lives is where an individual or a family chooses to include an isolated or under-supported older or disabled person in their family and community life. In many cases that person becomes a permanent part of a supportive family.
There are around 10,000 SL carers in the UK, of which 3,800 are NAAPS members. Shared Lives is unique in adult support, in that Shared Lives carers are paid a flat rate (like a foster carer) rather than by the hour, are expected to form two-way relationships including mutual links to family and social networks (as opposed to the highly boundaried, one-way "professional" support relationship), and because Shared Lives is based on matching individuals who need support with compatible Shared Lives carers and families.
Homeshare involves someone who needs some help to live independently in their own home being matched with someone who has a housing need and can provide a little support. "Householders" are often older people who own or are tenants in their own home but have developed some support needs or have become isolated or anxious about living alone. "Homesharers" are often younger people, students, or key public service workers who cannot afford housing where they work.
Sometimes ideas like the Big Society, hidden wealth and socially productive public services seem abstract but in these examples we can see a clear outline of the services of the future.
PS Because the splendid Clifford Longley is trapped in the snow I have just had an emergency call to join the panel for Moral Maze. The topic – should we be trying to live forever? Having prepared for my speech tonight the prospect of a long old age seems just a bit less daunting.

Life Processes of Plants by Arthur W. Galston, Scientific American Library, pp 246, £19.95/ $32.95
Why, I ask myself as I patiently absorb yet another television wildlife documentary about the Ngorongoro Crater, are animals so much more interesting than plants? Is it their mobility and violent behaviour? In days when the moving image has assumed so great an importance, the sad fact is that plants just don't do anything - or at least don't grow quickly enough to be entertaining. The very word 'vegetable' smacks of inactivity. But is this perception correct, or is it just another vicious and unfounded rumour spread abroad by zoologists? If we are to believe Arthur Galston, there is certainly a lot more going on under the plant's epidermis than meets the eye.
The trouble is that plants do things without fuss or flamboyance. Take photosynthesis, for example, without which there would be neither wart ...

They start enjoying a walk in the park or a good book; they start appreciating a well presented theatrical play or a concert. They also start considering their homes not only as the place they sleep in but also as a shelter where they can relax from daily intensity and enjoy family indoors activities.

Trust our experience for first quality carpet cleaning services.
Hence, people started taking care of their homes by being creative on the decoration of their house, changing furniture, curtains and colors in each room, in order to feel refreshed and revitalized.

Carpets have the tendency to absorb dust or even a drop of coffee, tea or any other liquid that you might spill thus creating a vast shelter for germs, viruses, bacteria and mites while the stains may cause the discoloration of your carpet. Domestic accidents such as food or liquid drops are likely to happen every day since we engage in various activities within our house. Our cat or dog may urinate or the kids may bring mud with their shoes; a friend may spill some wine and you have the habit of eating pizza without carrying a plate.

Our people – who are the best and most skillful and qualified carpet cleaners in the market – will engage in spot and stain removal as well as in pet stain and odor removal. They will do area rug cleaning and they will insist on difficult stains that don't come off so easily. They always make sure to use the proper soaps and detergents before they proceed with the carpet cleaning since different textures require different treatment. So, you can be sure that we will also take extra good care of your most expensive carpets since we also engage in Oriental rugs cleaning. Our company will make sure that all the nasty microorganisms – such as germs and dust mites – will be killed so that you can enjoy a clean and pure carpet and a healthy environment. So, call to make an appointment with the best professional team.

Summer Scholars 2001
Students from four middle schools each spent a week at Northern Arizona University (NAU)
involved in the academic environmental education program, Summers Scholars.
Summer Scholars is a weeklong summer program providing Native American students the opportunity
to experience college life, while using university resources, classrooms, computers, and science labs.
A collaborative project between participating schools and the Environmental Education Outreach
Program (EEOP), Summer Scholars increases students' understanding of how science, mathematics,
and technology can be applied to local environmental issues.
Air quality at the Grand Canyon was the focus of this year's Summer Scholars curriculum. Working
in teams, students developed recommendations to improve the visibility at the park. On the last
day of the week-long program students presented their recommendations to environmental professionals
including representatives of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Students made many innovative recommendations. They also prepared web pages to communicate their
recommendations to the public. The student web pages are available at Student Webpages
Composting, vermiculture and recycling waste reduction methods were also employed by Summer Scholars
while they were living on campus. Students collected food waste after every meal to compost and hands-on
activities such as "Shopping For Waste" encouraged students to evaluate the packaging of products they purchase.
Tours of the Cholla Power Plant, NAU's Ft. Valley Experimental Forest and the Grand Canyon contributed
to students' understanding of air quality. Each trip offered unique opportunities to speak with
technicians, engineers, and scientists about ecology and air monitoring.
Problem Based Learning (PBL), an innovative education method, was employed so students could develop
their own questions, issues, and topics of research. In addition to the field trips, students used
NAU's Cline Library, the Internet, and local environmental professionals as resources to find information
on their issues and questions.
"When you do Problem Based Learning, you give students a problem like visibility at the Grand Canyon,
where there is no simple solution or answer. Working as a group, they list what they know, what they
need to find out, and how and where to find that (information) to isolate their own learning issues.
They then do their own research to propose some kind of solution," said MaryLynn Quartaroli,
Instructional Specialist at EEOP.
Summer Scholars students had some time to relax and play. Students went swimming in Cholla Lake and at
NAU's Wall Aquatic Center, watched the IMAX Theatre presentation on Grand Canyon, climbed the observation
tower at Desert View Grand Canyon, played football and basketball.

We group our course offerings into levels that build upon one another and assume different degrees of preparation, background and experience.
100 level courses are foundational courses appropriate for first-year students and are prerequisites for all literature and writing courses.
200 level courses are introductions to literary study, surveys of literary periods, and special topic surveys of British or American literature. English majors should take an introduction to literature course as early as possible and should take surveys in chronological sequence. English courses at this level are ideal literature electives. Prerequisite: ENG 120
300 level courses are more specialized and assume some preparation in literary study (ideally one 200-level course). This level includes studies in critical theory, language, gender and popular culture, as well as specialized courses in genre and literary movements. These courses emphasize a more rigorous approach to close reading and cultural study and may integrate literary research. These courses are often smaller and may be conducted as seminars. Prerequisite: ENG 121 (200-level LIT course recommended).
400 level courses are advanced courses intended for juniors and seniors. Conducted as seminars, they require the ability to do literary research, oral presentation, extensive writing and assume strong writing and analytic skills. Courses at this level are not recommended as literature electives except by instructor approval. Prerequisite: ENG 121 (200-level LIT course recommended).

How are you feeling?
Given the low pay rise and the fact that 5 per cent of you in the UK and 8 per cent in the US were made redundant in the past year (although the data didn't discriminate between true redundancy and the non-renewal of contracts), employers were not your favourite people. Only 4 per cent of you in the UK and 7 per cent in the US rated your employer as excellent overall.
Your promotion prospects upset many of you, with 53 per cent rating them as poor in the UK and 46 per cent in the US. Benefits and salary came a close second and third in the discontentment stakes, followed by job security. Curtis estimates that about 70 per cent of full-time faculty members in the US are employed at public colleges or universities, many of which have seen pay freezes and hiring freezes over the last three years. There have not been widespread redundancies among academics, he says, although it does appear that faculty members on shorter-term contracts have not seen them renewed.
This, says Curtis, coupled with the fact that more academics are now employed as part-time and non-tenure-track staff, has meant that "job prospects for academics are considered bleak, even if those for natural scientists might be more optimistic than those of their colleagues in the humanities and social sciences".
Employers do try to keep you sweet though, with 91 per cent of employees in the UK receiving some sort of benefits package. The three most common perks were any sort of company pension scheme, the ability to work from home occasionally, and a final-salary pension scheme.
In the US, the most common benefits were health, dental and life insurance plans, followed by a contributory pension plan. There is no national statutory provision for maternity and paternity leave but some states provide various degrees of cover. In the UK, things are more family friendly, with statutory minimum leave available to all women and men. In both countries, the top two benefits you would like to receive are paid overtime and a performance-related bonus.
Despite this dissatisfaction with all things money-related, scientists in the UK and the US agreed that the most important factor when you're looking for a new job is challenging or interesting work. In the UK, the content of the role and recognition of your work also ranked over salary, whereas in the US, salary was the second most important factor.
"At the end of the day, a scientist doesn't do science for the money, or for other worldly incentives. We do it because it's a vocation and we feel passionate about the job," says Rohn.
So despite some grumbles, perhaps you are feeling OK about your salary, or it would have been the number one priority. That may be cold comfort to take from a survey that shows that the recession is not quite over for scientists yet.
Correction: This article has been edited to mention the involvement of SRG. Comment from Kelly Morton has also been added in a box below.
Who are you?
Men were big responders, making up 56 per cent of everyone who replied in the UK, and 64 per cent in the US. The average age across both genders was 38 years in the UK and 43 in the US. In both countries, most of you are working full time on a permanent contract. And you're a highly qualified group, with 44 per cent in the UK and 59 per cent in the US calling yourself "Dr". You work in the obvious big three sectors - academia, industry and government - but also in the medical profession, contract research and the charity sector. You have good staying power: on average, you have been with your current employer for seven years and expect to stay for another three.
Turbulence in Europe
While the UK and the US seem to be just about weathering the ongoing fallout from the global crisis - double dip recessions and volatile unemployment figures notwithstanding - in mainland Europe things are very turbulent. And the scientists in our survey are not immune.
Scientists in Europe (excluding Switzerland because of its unrepresentative wealth) take home an average salary of €37,000 (£29,800) with scientists in the Netherlands enjoying €18,760 on top. However, a whopping 28 per cent of respondents earned below €20,000 (£16,100). Just 48 per cent received a pay rise over the past year - nearly 20 per cent fewer than for the UK and US scientists - but the average rise was a negligible 0.2 per cent. Nine per cent saw their wage decrease by 10 per cent or more.
In terms of job security, only 60 per cent of European respondents were on a permanent contract, compared to 78 per cent in the UK and 70 per cent in the US, and 10 per cent of respondents had been made redundant in the last year, double the figure for the UK.
Our survey does not fairly represent Europe as a whole because some of the countries that have been going through the hardest economic times had the highest number of respondents, skewing the results downward. For example, Ireland, Spain, Italy and Greece had the second, third, fourth and sixth highest response rates respectively. Even so, we believe our results paint a picture of a Europe that's hurting.
What SRG says
It is important that both businesses and governments recognise the importance of retaining scientists and their innovations and make sure that they stay abreast of market rates and overseas competitors. Today in Europe countries are continuing to invest more and more in science and technology as more countries recognise it as a potential way out of economic difficulty. The industry as a whole therefore needs to ensure that rates of pay are both competitive and attractive in order to continue both retention and encourage growth in the science and technology industries.

The UNH Coaches Blog will be a
weekly feature in which selected coaches share thoughts and
insights about their program. This week's blog highlights the
women's volleyball and women's ice hockey teams.
This weekend, we have our last two regular season matches at Lundholm Gymnasium. Saturday at 1:00 p.m. we play Stony Brook University and on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. we host University of Maryland Baltimore County. We played both opponents earlier in the year and lost in five sets to each. We are all fighting for our standings at the end of conference and if we win both, we'll end up taking second in the America East conference!
As the UNH Volleyball season is winding down, I would like to honor our seniors and thank them for a great four years! Sunday, November 15th, will be our Senior Day against UMBC. This class has had an incredible impact on our program and we thank them for everything they've given to UNH Volleyball! They leave us as a 3,000 assist club member, 3 America East All-Rookie Team selections, 3 America East All-Conference Selections, 2 Captains, and 4 wonderful Wildcats!!! Here's to our PRIDE, POWER, PURSUIT, and PASSION!!! Thanks to Kirsten Bates, Lindsay Fogarty, Kelly Harte, and Kate Uitti.
Next weekend the conference championships will be held at the University of Albany on November 20th and 21st. Be sure to check the website to see how we're doing if you can't make it or follow us on Twitter at UNHVolleyball. Go Wildcats!
(Jill Hirschinger is in her 14th season as UNH volleyball head coach. She has recorded more than 200 victories at UNH and surpassed 600 total in her career.)
After a dozen games, our young squad continues making strides and finding ways to be successful while improving. Our current 8-1-3 record includes a strong 4-0-1 record in Hockey East which has us positioned at the top heading into the second half of a busy first semester.
Offensively, seniors Kelly Paton and Micaela Long have led the charge. The two linemates have combined for 12 goals and 31 assists to lead the team and the Hockey East in scoring. For her efforts Paton was named Hockey East Player of the Month for October. Also making a statement and leading our young blueline has been junior Courtney Birchard. With 7 goals and 6 assists to date, Courtney has been a dominant force and the quarterback on our power play, which leads the nation in scoring percentage. Special teams continue to play a huge role in our early season success.
The early returns by our young newcomers have been remarkable and equally valuable to the team's success. Kristine Horn, Kristina Lavoie and Brittany Skudder have contributed to our league leading offensive production this first month while blueliners Kailey Chappell and Bryanna Farris have done an outstanding job as freshmen blueliners. It's no secret that the biggest adjustment for incoming freshmen is on the blue line and these two have responded exceptionally well.
As with all teams, there are a number of unheralded performers who have quietly made big contributions. Kelly Cahill, a senior who converted to the forward position, has been a workhorse and has 11 points after the first 12 games. Junior blueliners Raylen Dzienglewski and Courtney Sheary have carried big minutes, especially at key times in tight contests, and they have responded with some outstanding performances.
Looking ahead we have seven remaining contests before the team breaks for exams. Hockey East games with Vermont, NU, Providence and BC will give us a stern test and three non-league games with Harvard, RPI and Dartmouth will be critical as well.
With the obvious parity and balance we're witnessing across the country, the challenge we face remains whether we can achieve some degree of consistency as we close out the first half. The team has responded so far to its fair share of adversity in terms of injury and illness that has sidelined a number of our athletes this past month. Hopefully we can continue to balance improvement with success as we head into the break.
(Brian McCloskey is in his eighth year as UNH women's ice hockey head coach. He also spent nine years as an associate head coach with the UNH men's ice hockey team.)

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 5/9/12
On the night the Philadelphia Flyers' season ended, the team's most experienced leader was unsure about whether he would skate again, according to a USA Today report. Right wing Jaromir Jagr, who enjoyed a successful NHL return with the Flyers, didn't discuss his future after Philadelphia was eliminated by the New Jersey Devils. "I don't know what's going to happen," Jagr said. "It doesn't matter what's going to happen." Jagr, 40, will become an unrestricted free agent July 1. He said he loved his first season in Philadelphia, his return to the NHL after three years playing in Russia. "I have to say thanks for the support from the fans," he said. "I love everybody on this team. That was probably my most enjoyable year I ever had. I win some Cups, I win some trophies, but I love this year. From the organization to the last player on the team, and the fans, they were so nice to me." Jagr had just one shot in Game 5 and managed one assist in the series. He had 19 goals and 54...

Cooling down the body after a stroke could reduce the brain damage suffered by victims, say scientists at Edinburgh University, where a new study will take place to assess the viability of this treatment.
Scientists still do not know how lowering the body temperature affects the injury to the brain, but similar techniques have been used on heart attack patients and babies who have been deprived of oxygen at birth. During the trial doctors will use cooling pads, blankets and intravenous fluids to lower the body temperature from 36.8 degrees to between 34 and 35 degrees. Experts hope to prove that by inducing hypothermia in stroke victims they will reduce the number of patients who die or are left severely disabled.
Dr Malcolm Macleod, head of experimental neuroscience at the University of Edinburgh, hopes to begin the study next September, when patients admitted to hospital will be asked if they would like to take part in the trial, which will run for around four years. Smaller trials which have already taken place show that the treatment is most effective when used within six hours of the stroke and could increase recovery rate from one in 13 to one in ten.
Last year the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) approved the procedure as a way to buy more time for the doctors to treat patients suffering from heart attacks, often caused by high blood pressure, increasing the chances of survival.
Professor Bruce Campbell, chair of the committee which produced the guidelines for NICE, said that more research is needed to consider therapeutic hypothermia a treatment for brain damage, although the results so far look promising.Add Comment

It's a scene played out in every household with kids. Just home from school, a small child asks a parent what a certain bad word means. While the offending, eff-bomb dropping 8 year old sits at home playing his X-Box, some poor parent is left to explain the word to their own no-longer-innocent child. It's like training for when the sex talk occurs.
Thanks to HBO's excellent look at the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins, 24/7, an entire generation of Caps parents are left to have the same talk with their kids thanks to an eff-bomb dropping 55 year old teddy bear named Bruce Boudreau.
"Mommy, why is the coach beeping like WALL-E?"
"Uh… well… see…"
We at Rock the Red.net are here to help. Here are some helpful ideas for explaining Coach Boudreau's locker room outburst to your little ones.
More, after we stop acting like prima donnas…
- "He's not mad. Coach Boudreau was just quoting his favorite move, Slap Shot."
- "HBO accidentally played the audio from 'The Sopranos' over Coach's speech. He was actually talking about Santa Claus."
- "The Russian players only understand a few English words, so Bruce likes to repeat the ones they know so they'll feel included."
- "Ah honey, Coach's favorite game is Duck Hunt. He's teaching the players his favorite call 'Duck Duck come here Duck'".
- "I'm pretty sure you heard wrong. Coach said 'get your heads out of your hats.' Yeah… hats…"
- "No, he just wants more fudge. Coach Bruce has a sweet tooth just like Mommy."
- "I'm sure Karl Azlner's parents are having the exact same conversation we are right now."
- "Yes, it's a bad word. But don't worry… I'm sure Bruce's mommy will be breaking out the Palmolive bar any minute now."

Searching for Genes Underlying Lung Cancer Sensitivity to Sunitinib
October 3, 2013 | eNews
While lung cancer is typically associated with smoking, lung cancer in people who have never smoked is, independently, the seventh most common cancer worldwide. About half of all lung cancers carry hallmark mutations in one of three oncogenes, EGFR, ALK and KRAS, which all have targeted therapies available or under development. Importantly, many targetable mutations appear more commonly in never-smokers lung cancers. We want to find more targets for those never-smokers who are triple negative and have no targeted therapies available to them, says Geoffrey Oxnard, MD (DFCI), who is leading a new trial with that objective.
A New Target, A Candidate Therapy
Recently, Pasi Janne MD, PhD (DFCI), discovered a new therapeutic target in a subset of never-smokers with lung cancer: a rearrangement in RET, an oncogene previously implicated in thyroid cancer. RET is one of the genetic mutations targeted by the multi-kinase inhibitor sunitinib, which is an approved targeted therapy in kidney cancer and some sarcomas and pancreatic cancers. In addition to targeting RET, sunitinib inhibits the oncogenes VEGFR, KIT, PDGFR and FLT-3.
Sunitinib was previously described as being active in a small subset of lung cancers, but large Phase III trials failed to show a survival benefit. However, the trials did not select participants based on sensitizing genetic mutations to sunitinib, and a benefit to subgroups with sensitizing mutations may go undetected in an unselected population.
A Rational Trial and Objectives
Oxnard has now launched a Phase II trial to test the effectiveness of sunitinib in a selected population of never-smoker lung cancer patients without EGRF, ALK, or KRAS alterations. We believe this enriched population of participants with wild-type cancers may have hidden alterations that explains their cancer, and we want to see if those alterations include RET or one of the other genes targeted by sunitinib, explains Oxnard.
The trial will first assess the effectiveness of sunitinib in a selected population of patients with wild-type cancers, or who have a diagnosed RET mutation. A 30 percent response will be considered evidence of activity.
Second, investigators will use targeted next-generation sequencing to determine whether RET or previously undescribed genetic alterations in VEGFR, KIT, PDGFR or FLT-3 may explain the responses in these participants.
Targeted Next-Gen Sequencing
The targeted next-generation sequencing will be undertaken in collaboration with Nikhil Wagle, MD, in the lab of Levi Garraway MD, PhD (DFCI), who has developed platforms for comprehensively characterizing the genome of clinical cancer samples. For this study, however, the hypothesis-driven sequencing analysis will focus on just the handful of candidate genes of interest that are targets of sunitinib, thus reducing cost and improving efficiency of clinically relevant discovery.
Study Design
The Phase II study is an open-label single-arm trial with comparison to historical data. It is enrolling advanced lung adenocarcinoma in never-smokers who are wild-type on standard genotyping. A subset of patients must have a RET alteration. All patients must either have tumor biopsy tissue available, or undergo a biopsy, for next-generation sequencing. Subjects will receive sunitinib as an oral, outpatient therapy on an intermittent dosing schedule (4 weeks on/2 weeks off) with a daily dose of 50 mg.
The investigators are focusing on never-smokers because they are more likely to have a targetable mutation that can be treated with inhibitors. Smokers have more genetically altered, complicated cancer genomes that are harder to treat with targeted therapies, explains Oxnard. Cancer in never-smokers often starts with a single bad-luck genetic alteration that may have a fantastic, durable response to the right therapy. Based on both laboratory studies and clinical evidence, he is hopeful that sunitinib may be that right therapy in a portion of patients.
Phase II Trial
Title: Sunitinib in Never-Smokers With Lung Adenocarcinoma
Principal Investigator: Geoffrey Oxnard, MD (DFCI)
NIH Trial Number: NCT01829217
DF/HCC Protocol Number: 13-086

The trial is ongoing and recruiting patients. Find more information at ClinicalTrials.gov.
Research detailed in this article was funded in part by NIH grants, including CA065164 and CA090578.

Jan-Feb 2007 remittances by Filipinos in Dubai grow 96pc
BY JOSE N FRANCO JR / 29 April 2007
DUBAI Remittances by some 20,000 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Dubai had increased by 96 per cent to Dh195.4 million in January to February 2007, from Dh100 million for the same two months last year, according to statistics released by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
The BSP said that in the UAE capital of Abu Dhabi, OFWs sent home Dh107.4 million in January to February, a 70 per cent increase from Dh63.2 million covering the same period in 2006.
Some 250,000 OFWs in the entire UAE remitted a total of Dh303 million in January to February this year, an 86 per cent rise from Dh163.1 million for the same period last year.
Vicente Liwanag Jr, Allied Bank's marketing representative for Dubai and Northern Emirates, said the figures "are heartening but hardly surprising" because Dubai or the UAE in general has really become one of the favourite destinations for OFWs. "The Filipino here enjoy working and living in a multi-cultural environment and at the same time getting their salaries tax-free," Liwanag said. He added that the UAE is generally a friendly host-country to OFWs.
Allied Bank is one of nine banks in the Philippines that offer remittances services to OFWs in the UAE through Al Fardan Exchange. The average charge per remittances service is Dh6.20. The other Philippine banks doing monetary transactions in the UAE through Al Fardan and other foreign exchange centres are Land Bank of the Philippines, Banco de Oro, Bank of the Philippine Islands, Equitable PCI Bank, Metro Bank, Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation and Asia United Bank.
The Philippine National Bank (PNB) has its own branch in Dubai. Earlier, the BSP said OFWs in the UAE, mostly in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, sent a total of Dh1.6 billion to their families in 2006, a big chunk of the Dh7 billion OFW remittances from the whole Middle East. The BSP said a considerable share of Filipino remittances is being coursed through formal banking channels.However, non-banks-Western Union, LBC-and informal channels like the Express Padala services have done brisk business because of their accessibility, simple processes and customer awareness. Money sent through informal channels includes that being hand-carried by returning friends and relatives and cash or overtime pay brought home by OFWs themselves. Western Union had been cited by the Manila-based Asian Development Bank (ADB) to have cornered some 20 per cent of OFWs remittances to the Philippines in 2002. LBC and other small courier companies have captured a big market in Hong Kong, Singapore and the Gulf states.

Construction Highlights
Fitment Details
Turbocharged horsepower requires serious exhaust. Maximum power starts with a big downpipe and ends with an equally free flowing exhaust system. Designed to bolt to our 3" TSI downpipes, our 2.5" & 3" cat-backs pick up where the downpipe leaves off. The result is honest performance that sounds and looks as great as it feels.
Our 2.5" and 3" cat-backs begin where our 3" downpipe ends. A CNC machined flange attaches to the final downpipe flange with locking hardware and a double layer graphite gasket. After the flange a set of hangers slide into the factory hanger bushings and supports the piping as it bends into a Magnaflow muffler. After the muffler a short bend ends at another CNC machined flange. This flange connection is adjustable allowing precise fitment of the tips. Piping leaves the flanges and routes neatly under the rear suspension. A precisely fabricated merge evenly divides our piping without disrupting flow. Hung neatly in the factory exhaust cutouts, a pair of high polished stainless steel tips complete the system.
During our initial design work we discovered quickly that the Mk6 rear valance requires a unique pair of exhaust tips. The contours of the rear valance easily overpower the tips. In order for a set of tips to stand out they must be large. We experimented with 4" tips in multiple styles but we were never satisfied with the fitment. Honestly, they looked ridiculous. We decided to blend in instead of stand out, starting from scratch with 3.5" diameter material. 3.5" is powerful enough to be noticed but subtle enough to let the contours of the rear valance take over. Our final exhaust tip design truly compliments the rear valance of the Mk6 GTI.
Installation of our cat-back system is simple, adjustable, and reliable. A permanent flange allows the system to bolt to our 3" downpipe. Precise design and fabrication routes piping clear of heatshields. Adjustable flanges allow further adjustment if necessary, sealed by double layer graphite gaskets and locking hardware. A pair of collars on each rear hanger lock the tips in place.
The sound is sporty and refined - not too loud and not a hint of rasp. Because sound varies based on downpipe configuration we cannot accurately describe the resulting sound with words alone. Extensive sound clips will be added to this webpage shortly. These sound clips will present the 2.5" and 3" systems in a variety of turbo-back configurations.
Our Mk6 TSI 2.5" & 3" cat-back systems are specifically designed:
Our Mk6 TSI 2.5" & 3" cat-back systems are NOT designed:
Fitment to our TSI 3" downpipes or as part of our turbo-back systems is as easy as we describe. Fitment to a 3" downpipe not built by 42 requires welding of a 3" flange to the existing 3" downpipe at the correct location, angle, and rotation. Successful fitment of our flanged 2.5" or 3" cat-back in custom applications is the responsibility of the owner. Fitment of our 2.5" or 3" cat-back to any stock downpipe or downpipe under 2.5" or 3" in diameter respectively is not recommended by 42 and cannot be supported. There are reasons why we make specific recommendations.
If you're interested in a full turbo-back exhaust, we offer systems for the Mk6 TSI which combine these cat-backs with our 3" downpipes. Check them out! Mk6 GTI TSI 3" Turbo-back Systems
If you need a bolt-on fit, check out our slip fit cat-back! Mk6 GTI TSI 2.5" Slip Fit Cat-back Exhaust
Power Gains
Power gains cannot be definitively stated for this system. Every single installation is different. Power gains related to this system depend entirely on what's in front of it. TSI engines with complimenting mods and a 3" downpipe will see typical 3" turbo-back gains. An TSI with a GT30 turbo and a 3" downpipe is going to see maximum power at whatever boost level their motor can support. Questions
Last but not least, if you have any questions about our 3" cat-back systems or any of our exhaust systems don't hesitate to contact us. We're available by phone, fax and email to answer any question you may have.

SEIU members in Maryland are sharing their support for same-sex marriage in a new video:
SEIU has long supported marriage equality and is proud to collaborate with Marylanders for Marriage Equality, the campaign to defend marriage equality at the ballot box in Maryland this November.
The video features 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East members talking about their beliefs in family, fairness, and standing up for what's right. One SEIU member and her partner share their family's story, including the four children they're raising together. Another SEIU says, "I believe in equality and fairness and standing up for what matters, because we're all in this together. That's why I'm supporting marriage equality."
On November 6, Maryland voters will see a referendum on the ballot to approve or reject the Civil Marriage Protection Act. Voting Yes supports the right of same-sex couples to marry, and if the referendum passes, same-sex couples will be able to get a marriage license in Maryland starting in January 2013.

1 dead in head-on wreck in Conroe
By Houston Chronicle | June 15, 2014 | Updated: June 16, 2014 8:56am
One person was killed when two cars collided head-on in Conroe early Saturday.
A 16-year-old student from Conroe lost control of his car on a curve on FM 2432 and went into oncoming traffic, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. His vehicle flipped over. He was taken to a nearby hospital.
The car he hit was pushed into the woodline. The 29-year-old driver, also of Conroe, died at the scene, authorities said.
