Evaluation of question-listing at the Cancer Support Community
ABSTRACT The Cancer Support Community (CSC) provides psychosocial support to people facing cancer in community settings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the compatibility, effectiveness, and fidelity of the Situation-Choices-Objectives-People-Evaluation-Decisions (SCOPED) question-listing intervention at three CSC sites. Between August 2008 and August 2011, the Program Director at each CSC site implemented question-listing, while measuring patient distress, anxiety, and self-efficacy before and after each intervention. We analyzed the quantitative results using unadjusted statistical tests and reviewed qualitative comments by patients and the case notes of Program Directors to assess compatibility and fidelity. Program Directors implemented question-listing with 77 blood cancer patients. Patients reported decreased distress (p = 0.009) and anxiety (p = 0.005) and increased self-efficacy (p < 0.001). Patients and Program Directors endorsed the intervention as compatible with CSC's mission and approach and feasible to implement with high fidelity. CSC effectively translated SCOPED question-listing into practice in the context of its community-based psychosocial support services at three sites.

ABSTRACT: To examine the feasibility and acceptability of routine provision of patient question prompt lists (QPLs) to promote patient participation and patient-clinician communication in medical consultations. Four cancer centres across NSW, Australia (two rural, two urban) were invited to participate, involving distribution of QPLs to patients seeing a medical or radiation oncologist, or palliative care clinician. Patients rated their satisfaction after their next consultation. Cancer specialists provided their views at the end of the study. Sixty-four percent (389/606) of patients attending consultations received a QPL. Of patients offered a QPL (426), 91% accepted. Of 139 patients surveyed post-consultation, 89% reported reading the QPL and, of these, 44% referred to the QPL during the consultation at least once. All of 10 cancer specialists providing their views post-implementation reported that QPL implementation in routine practice was feasible and did not strain resources. Cancer patients and cancer specialists showed support for routine dissemination of the QPL. For successful implementation of evidence-based tools we recommend promotion by local clinical champions, negotiation with clinic staff about dissemination methods, raised patient awareness through on-site project facilitators, media, consumer and support groups, and availability of resources in hard copy and via online sources.Patient Education and Counseling 07/2011; 86(2):252-8.

ABSTRACT: Active participation and asking questions are important ways in which patients can ensure they understand what the doctor has said. This study evaluated a question prompt sheet designed to encourage patients to ask questions in the cancer consultation. Patients (n = 142) were randomised to receive (i) a question prompt sheet or (ii) a general sheet informing patients of services available through the regional Cancer Council. Recall of information was assessed in a structured interview 4-20 days after the consultation. Questionnaires to assess patient satisfaction and adjustment to cancer were sent by mail. The question prompt sheet had a significant effect in one content area: prognosis. Thirty-five percent of patients who received the question handout asked questions about prognosis compared to 16% of those receiving the information handout. The prompt sheet did not increase the mean number of questions asked overall. Age, in/out-patient status, gender and involvement preference were predictive of both number and duration of patient questions. A question prompt sheet has a limited but important effect on patient question asking behaviour in the cancer consultation.Annals of Oncology 04/1994; 5(3):199-204. · 6.58 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Patients often do not get the information they require from doctors and nurses. To address this problem, interventions directed at patients to help them gather information in their healthcare consultations have been proposed and tested. To assess the effects on patients, clinicians and the healthcare system of interventions which are delivered before consultations, and which have been designed to help patients (and/or their representatives) address their information needs within consultations. We searched: the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, The Cochrane Library (issue 3 2006); MEDLINE (1966 to September 2006); EMBASE (1980 to September 2006); PsycINFO (1985 to September 2006); and other databases, with no language restriction. We also searched reference lists of articles and related reviews, and handsearched Patient Education and Counseling (1986 to September 2006). Randomised controlled trials of interventions before consultations designed to encourage question asking and information gathering by the patient. Two researchers assessed the search output independently to identify potentially-relevant studies, selected studies for inclusion, and extracted data. We conducted a narrative synthesis of the included trials, and meta-analyses of five outcomes. We identified 33 randomised controlled trials, from 6 countries and in a range of settings. A total of 8244 patients was randomised and entered into studies. The most common interventions were question checklists and patient coaching. Most interventions were delivered immediately before the consultations.Commonly-occurring outcomes were: question asking, patient participation, patient anxiety, knowledge, satisfaction and consultation length. A minority of studies showed positive effects for these outcomes. Meta-analyses, however, showed small and statistically significant increases for question asking (standardised mean difference (SMD) 0.27 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.19 to 0.36)) and patient satisfaction (SMD 0.09 (95% CI 0.03 to 0.16)). There was a notable but not statistically significant decrease in patient anxiety before consultations (weighted mean difference (WMD) -1.56 (95% CI -7.10 to 3.97)). There were small and not statistically significant changes in patient anxiety after consultations (reduced) (SMD -0.08 (95%CI -0.22 to 0.06)), patient knowledge (reduced) (SMD -0.34 (95% CI -0.94 to 0.25)), and consultation length (increased) (SMD 0.10 (95% CI -0.05 to 0.25)). Further analyses showed that both coaching and written materials produced similar effects on question asking but that coaching produced a smaller increase in consultation length and a larger increase in patient satisfaction. Interventions immediately before consultations led to a small and statistically significant increase in consultation length, whereas those implemented some time before the consultation had no effect. Both interventions immediately before the consultation and those some time before it led to small increases in patient satisfaction, but this was only statistically significant for those immediately before the consultation. There appear to be no clear benefits from clinician training in addition to patient interventions, although the evidence is limited. Interventions before consultations designed to help patients address their information needs within consultations produce limited benefits to patients. Further research could explore whether the quality of questions is increased, whether anxiety before consultations is reduced, the effects on other outcomes and the impact of training and the timing of interventions. More studies need to consider the timing of interventions and possibly the type of training provided to clinicians.Cochrane database of systematic reviews (Online) 02/2007; DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD004565.pub2 · 5.94 Impact Factor

Busted Racquet
Stan Wawrinka wins first French Open titleDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet22 days ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
Stan Wawrinka claimed his first French Open title on Sunday afternoon in Paris, pulling off an unexpected win over world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4.
Djokovic seemed to be taking over to start the fourth, jumping out to a 3-0 lead. Wawrinka quickly broke him twice to get back in it. Leading 4-3, Djokovic earned three break point opportunities.
But when Wawrinka fought him off to even the set at 4-all, he seemed poised to take the title. Wawrinka broke Djokovic in the next game, taking the 5-4 lead, then held again to close out the match.
"I played the match of my life," Wawrinka later said.
Djokovic has now been runner-up in Paris three years in a row. He had not lost a tournament final since the birth of his son in October. He came into the match with a 28-match win streak, and was looking to complete the career Grand Slam.
The eighth seed, Wawrinka hails from Switzerland, home of 17-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer. The Davis Cup teammates are now the only two men other than Rafael Nadal to win Roland Garros since Nadal started his dominance in 2005.
Serena Williams fends off late comeback to win 20th Grand Slam titleDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet24 days ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
There are few accolades missing from Serena Williams' resume. She's won all of the Grand Slam events at least twice, most of them at least five times. She's dominated women's tennis for nearly 15 years. But she'd never won the Australian Open and the French Open in the same year. Until now.
Williams marked that one off her list on Saturday, defeating Lucie Safarova 6-3, 6-7, 6-2 to claim her third French Open title. This is her 20th Grand Slam title, placing her two tournaments shy of Open-era leader Steffi Graf.
The path to this title pushed her harder than most of her previous 19. She had to win four three-set matches in the earlier rounds, something she has not had to do at a major since she was 17. She said playing back-to-back-to-back three-setters was borderline "unprofessional" for someone of her caliber.
Fittingly, she needed a third set to take the crown on Saturday.
Djokovic defeats Murray to advance to French Open finalDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet24 days ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
Novak Djokovic will play for his second Grand Slam title of the year. In a rematch of February's Australian Open final, the world No. 1 defeated No. 3 Andy Murray 6-3, 6-3, 5-7, 5-7, 6-1. The match started on Friday afternoon but had to be suspended due to weather. They closed it out on Saturday morning.
The win puts Djokovic in his second-straight French Open final and third in four years. The loss is Murray's second-straight semifinal loss in Paris.
Djokovic earned the first break of the match at 3-all in the first set. From there he controlled the pace, taking the first set with a 6-3 advantage and doing the same in the second set. Just as the match looked to be winding down, Murray came alive. He earned his first break of the match on Djokovic's 15th service game, giving him a 6-5 lead in the set. He held serve to force a fourth set.
French Open semifinal between Djokovic and Murray halted due to weatherDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet24 days ago
The men's semifinal match between Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray has been halted due to rain in Paris.
Djokovic controlled the match early, looking as though he'd secure a quick win. Midway though the third set, though, Murray started to mount an impressive comeback. Play will resume sometime on Saturday – an official time has not been announced.
Djokovic earned the first break of the match at 3-all in the first set. From there he set the pace, taking the first set with a 6-3 advantage and doing the same in the second.
Just as the match looked to be winding down, Murray came alive. He earned his first break of the match on Djokovic's 15th service game, giving him a 6-5 lead in the set. He held serve to force a fourth set. The pair battled through marathon, 30-shot rallies, covering nearly every inch of the court.
Leading 1-0 in the fourth set, Djokovic squandered three break point opportunities. Murray broke to go up 2-1, only to let Djokovic immediately break back. At 3-2, Djokovic missed another break point. Murray held on to even it at 3-all.
Everyone's coughing at French Open: Is it a flu, or an act?Danielle Elliot at Busted Racquet25 days ago
Female tennis players are often criticized for being too loud. The grunting, shrieking, moaning as some players hit the ball, it's just too much for fans.
Noise complaints are amounting again at Roland Garros – but this time, the noise is of a different variety: Everyone is coughing. It seems some kind of flu is taking over in Paris.
When defending champion Maria Sharapova coughed throughout her first-round win, then skipped the usual on-court interview, fans in the stadium booed her. She later said she'd been battling a cold for more than a week. Fans weren't convinced.
Smart coughing from Sharapova, to justify her first round booing :D @radio_RG #RG15
Let's be honest. It's a complete waste of energy to go around faking a coughing fit. Or 20 coughing fits. There's no point. By the fourth round, Sharapova was out. She refused to blame the loss on being sick, but she'd barely been able to catch her breath between points, instead coughing with the strength of a lifelong smoker.
Battling flu, Serena Williams advances to French Open finalDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet25 days ago
Serena Williams looked lethargic on Thursday, dropping the first set of her semifinal match against No. 23 Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland. Williams leaned heavily on her racket as Bacsinszky and the chair umpire discussed a call. She coughed incessantly, looking as though she was about to throw up during a second-set changeover.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, she came alive.
And as so many opponents have learned before, once Serena Williams comes alive, there is no stopping her. Williams prevailed with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-0 win to advance to her third French Open final. She's taken the title in each of her previous final appearances in Paris.
The first set went quickly Thursday, Bacsinszky scoring the only break as she took the set 6-4.
At 2-2 in the second set, Williams held off five break points before succumbing. It looked like Bacsinszky had control of the match. They took their seats for the changeover, Williams coughing forcefully into a towel.
Djokovic pulls off French Open quarterfinal win over NadalDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet27 days ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
Novak Djokovic just won the French Open. He still needs to win two matches to actually take the title, but on Wednesday afternoon he did something that could be considered even more impressive, something only one other player has done since 2005: Djokovic defeated Rafael Nadal in Paris.
Djokovic came in the higher seed – No. 1 to Nadal's No. 6 – but Roland Garros is Nadal's playground. He'd won nine of the last 10 titles there, amassing a career record of 70-1.
Nadal has twice defeated Djokovic in the final. He's knocked Djokovic out of the tournament six times, including the last three years. If Djokovic hoped to complete a career Grand Slam, he'd eventually have to get past Nadal.
For all of that past domination, Nadal had nothing on Djokovic this year. The Serb advanced to the semifinal with a 7-5, 6-3, 6-1 win.
Djokovic jumped out to an early lead, breaking Nadal to go up 2-0. Despite the lopsided score, they were pushing each other to every edge of the court in astonishing rallies, none more amazing than this:

Serena Williams cruises into French Open semifinalsDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet27 days ago
The tennis world has been buzzing as Serena Williams dropped the first set in each of her last three rounds at Roland Garros.
Wednesday morning, the 19-time Grand Slam champion erased concerns over her game, coming out in her usual dominant style to win her quarterfinal match, 6-1, 6-3.
Williams defeated No. 17 Sara Errani in just over an hour, hitting 10 aces and 39 winners en route to the win.
"I knew today I've got to be focused; she's a real fighter," Williams said afterward.
She dominated even without her impressive serve, which has been weak as she battles an elbow injury.
"Obviously it's a big part of my game; I've missed it a lot," she said. Regardless, she seems well on her way to making history again. Only one other top-10 seed remains in the draw.
The last player to win a calendar year Grand Slam was Steffi Graf in 1988. The last to win the Australian Open and Roland Garros in the same year was Jennifer Capriati in 2001.
French Open men's quarterfinal halted as spectators injuredDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet28 days ago
The men's quarterfinal match between Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Kei Nishikori had to be halted in the middle of the second set, as high winds knocked loose a large piece of metal that covers part of the video scoreboard. The metal crashed into the stands, hitting spectators.
"Wind broke one of the lights, it came down and hit a woman. She has a pretty significant cut on her arm, and that's what they're attending to now," a Tennis Channel announcer said amongst confusion in the stands. He later corrected himself to say it was a piece of paneling, and that it hit a man and a small boy.
The incident pic.twitter.com/p7NQHP8joI
"The day we tore down Philippe Chatrier" pic.twitter.com/M4Y7XO3fkG
Several reporters desribed the scene within the stadium:
I'm told by fans that there was a "lot of blood." & that a man who went to cover his head was hit in arm. "It's a bad injury," a woman says
Serena Williams advances to Roland Garros quarterfinalsDanielle Elliot at Busted Racquet28 days ago
There would only be one American left in the women's draw after Monday's fourth-round match between Serena Williams and Sloane Stephens.
Stephens, the young American once considered the heir apparent to Williams' seat atop women's tennis, or Williams, the 19-time Grand Slam champion who, at 33, is showing no signs of slowing down.
Stephens has excelled on clay courts. She came into the match without dropping a set in the first week, including a dominant win over Venus Williams in the first round. Serena Williams came in having dropped the first set in each of her two previous matches, a rare occurence for the two-time French Open champion.
Stephens kept both of those streaks alive, capturing the first set on Monday, 6-1. She looked poised to knock Williams out of the draw, to advance to her first Grand Slam quarterfinal since she knocked Williams out of the Australian Open quarters in 2013. Williams had other plans.

Product Information
- Disney Frozen Elsa Musical Snow Wand from Jakks Pacific
- Part of the Disney Frozen brand
- We recommend this product for ages 3 and up
- 3 Cell batteries required TTPM Is Always On With
What It Is
The Disney Frozen Elsa Musical Snow Wand features an Elsa figurine inside of a mini snow globe filled with glittery snow. Give it a shake to watch the snow swirl around Elsa. When you press the button in the middle of the wand, a 20-second instrumental version of Elsa's beautiful song, "Let it Go," plays.
Is It Fun?
Some fans may wish the song played longer, but we think they'll sing along regardless. The Elsa Musical Snow Wand is a cute addition to the Elsa costume that is sold separately. Whether to complete the Elsa look or played with on its own, it provides an interactive and enchanting experience for Frozen fans.
Who It's For
The Disney Frozen Elsa Musical Snow Wand is for ages 3 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
This wand comes with three button cell batteries for the in-store try-me features. It's recommended that you replace them before you play for best results. Also, make sure you switch the toy from "Try Me" mode to "On" mode to activate its full features.
A couple of other things you should know is that the wand is 10-inches long so it's a little bit shorter than most princess wands, though we don't think kids will mind because it does so much more. It's also heavier than it appears, so while it seems very durable, you will need to be careful that your child isn't banging things with it.

As an early adopter of the Sonatype Studio I've already provided by feedback to my sales contact that as things stand right now we'll probably drop the studio and go to Nexus Pro so we can stay on full community supported version with probably the cloudbees offering for a supported/stable release. I'm still using the Matrix 1.0 and we'll continue to do so for the remainder of the supported period unless the divide between the two versions becomes too great. I'm guessing that the other matrix customers may feel otherwise or have yet to comment and that's factoring into your decision.
I'm a big fan of the maven ecosystem and want yourself and sonatype to succeed - I was hoping that cloudbees and sonatype would be a join venture and we'd get the best of both worlds.
We're focused on backward compatibility, stability, and good overall integration with tools like Eclipse and Nexus. We encourage all users to pick what's best for them. I have no doubt Jenkins will be a good piece of software.
I feel both your products and Jenkins are great products and provide some first class features; that's why we are customers willing to pay into the continued innovation. I'm waiting to see if Oracle will bring something special back to the hudson or leave it to folks like sonatype to keep the lights on for them.

My second Colgan Custom for the same car. Nice tight fit, looks great, the straps look and feel high quality. Nothing lasts forever; my last one lived for about 7 years or so if I remember correctly. The combo of sun, water, and scrapes will put any bra down eventually. I'm hoping to get as much life out of this one before I buy another Colgan Custom. My only wish is that I had bought a replacement sooner. The paint is already badly chipped in some spots due to long commutes.

So my pedi freaked me out. She told me if baby was to get a fever before two months she would need spinal tap and hospitalizaton. Now I have 7 year old and 5 year old who just started school and I am germaphobic. How do you protect your newborn from school age subling? I make mine wash hands, and change clothes when they are back from school. Anything else? Oh, yes, I am also ebf...

I'm not a germophobe and never BF my kids. Their immune systems are fine. I even *gasp* take my LO inside the school. My kids are rarely sick, and it was the same when they were babies. So, I guess I just don't worry about it. My kids were taught good hygeine and they practice it. Their school is really good about it as well. I believe the more you keep your kids sheltered from germs, the worse off they will be. But, that's just my opinion.

This actually happened to my daughter she got a very high fever before 3 months and they did a spinal tap and admitted her to the hospital for a couple of days while they waited for the results to make sure it wasn't meningitis. It was scary but it turned out to just be a common cold. I now have a 2 yr.old and a 3 week old and he's already gotten a stuffy nose and a little cough from his sister, no fever. I would say if you notice anything from the older one don't let them near baby and make sure they wash their hands, etc.

My 6yo only gets fevers when she has allergic reactions. I take baby into school bc I can't volunteer wo her. Baby pretty much goes everywhere with me. Germs are everywhere and I can't live in a bubble.

I was wondering the same thing. My 5 year old went back to school this week and she is already sick ( found out that half the class has already been out) now I'm freaking out. We can wash our hands like crazy but she is coughing germs into the air. I have no idea how to keep LO from getting it other then praying.

This post sounds like something I could have written- my two older kids are the same age. Scares me too. I have held off on visitors but LO will be 2 weeks Sunday and have visits planned for Fri, Sat, Sun, and Mon. I have kids wash hands when they get home. DD started coughing the other day so I've been trying to keep her away from LO. I also avoid closed in areas with a lot of people and carry hand sanitizer. EBFing helps i think too. Beyond that you just have to hope for the best and try not to stress.

(Page 4 of 5)
Unknown during all this were the whereabouts of Mr. Reyes, perhaps the most dangerous person in the park that night. His presence was not verified until this year, when DNA tests showed that semen recovered from the woman's body was his. His pubic hair and more of his semen were extracted from one of her socks, discarded a few yards from where she was found. No one else left physical evidence at the scene.
Inconsistencies In Teenagers' Words
No one can dispute that the videotapes made by four of the five teenagers are a chronicle of muggings, misdemeanor and gang rape.
Nor is there any serious dispute that parts of the tapes, particularly those dealing with the rape, are broadly inaccurate on where, when and how it took place.
Three of the boys -- Mr. Santana, Mr. Wise and Mr. Richardson -- had the time wrong by 45 minutes or more.
Mr. McCray's version put the rape at a plausible time, but at an implausible location, saying it happened between the reservoir and the tennis courts, about seven blocks from where the jogger was found. He also said the victim was raped where she was jumped, although the evidence showed that the jogger was knocked down at one place and dragged or chased nearly 300 feet.
The fifth teenager convicted of the rape, Mr. Salaam, did not make a videotaped statement, nor did he sign a written summary or notes, but a detective said Mr. Salaam told him that the attack on the jogger happened before the assaults at the reservoir, effectively placing it before 9:30.
Mr. Wise said a knife was plunged into the victim repeatedly, although the prosecution's medical expert testified that he found no wounds from any sharp object.
On the other crimes, the teenagers' accounts are broadly consistent with the versions offered by the victims. Even more telling, a few of the incidents described in the confessions -- attacks on runners or bicyclists who got away -- had not yet been reported to the police when the teenagers mentioned them.
Eventually, the strengths of the confessions, combined with physical evidence of the hairs, which seemed to show contact between the suspects and the jogger, convinced two juries that the confessions were essentially true: the five teenagers had been part of the assault. Nothing else reasonably explained what had happened to the victim.
Now, the emergence of Mr. Reyes provides an alternative reality -- that he raped the woman, a fact corroborated by DNA tests, and that he did it alone, an assertion that has not been proven or disproven.
To date, only Mr. Reyes is linked to the crime by any evidence beyond words, putting pressure on the reliability of the teenagers' confessions and how they were obtained.
On that critical point, the documentary record is silent. The video camera was not turned on until the detectives had finished other, unrecorded interrogations, generally after the suspects had been in custody for seven hours or more. As a result, the debates over what happened during those hours have amounted to swearing contests between the defendants and the detectives.
Through their questions, the defense lawyers tried to raise doubts that the statements had been made voluntarily, a requirement of New York law. Did the detectives throw chairs? Did they tell Raymond Santana that he claimed not to have touched the jogger because he was homosexual? Did they promise that the boys would be better off as witnesses than defendants? Or did they, as most of the detectives testified, merely ask what happened?
Coercion, under the law, can be psychological or physical, but the line between good, aggressive police work and illegal bullying does not form a clear boundary that can be simply applied to all the ways one person can push another to answer a question. In every instance, the legality of the Central Park statements -- witnessed by parents for three of the five suspects, after readings of the Miranda warning -- was upheld by the trial judge and through the appellate process.
Even among detectives, though, there was considerable disagreement about what happened during the interviews, as explained in ''Unequal Verdicts,'' an authoritative account of the trials by Timothy Sullivan, an editor for Court TV.
A day after the rape, Mr. McCray, for instance, was interviewed by two detectives, Carlos Gonzalez and Harry Hilderbrandt. Under questioning by Michael Joseph, the lawyer for Mr. McCray, the detectives told stories that differed in several key details, the trial record shows.
Detective Hilderbrandt said Mr. McCray did not admit to penetrating the victim; Detective Gonzalez said he did. Detective Hilderbrandt said the suspect had not cried; Detective Gonzalez said he had. For much of the interview, Mr. McCray had said that he knew nothing about the rape. Once his mother left the room he discussed the rape -- although he placed it by the tennis courts, nearly half a mile south of where it had taken place.
Why had his mother left the room? Detective Hilderbrandt testified that she left at the suggestion of his stepfather, who remained; Detective Gonzalez said it was at the suggestion of the detectives.

OMNOVA Solutions Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results
Tuesday, September 25, 2012
OMNOVA Solutions Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results17:25 EDT Tuesday, September 25, 2012FAIRLAWN, Ohio, Sept. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third quarter of 2012, the Company reported income from continuing operations of $6.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations for the third quarter was $7.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, as compared to $4.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, last year (See Tables B and C). Total Adjusted Segment Operating Profit (See Table A) improved 27.8% to $25.3 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $19.8 million in the third quarter of 2011. Net Debt declined by $19.4 million during the quarter due to strong cash generation. Year-to-date, net debt has declined $51.3 million, and Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA has improved to 2.5x (See Table D).OMNOVA Solutions Inc. (NYSE: OMN) today announced income from continuing operations of $6.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the third quarter ended August 31, 2012. Net income for the third quarter was $6.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share."The third quarter 2012 results demonstrate ongoing progress by the Company. During the quarter, we improved earnings versus a year ago despite lower volumes. Positive changes in our business mix and effective margin management led to the increased earnings, while we also continued to generate strong positive cash flow. In the third quarter, raw material costs, especially butadiene, declined versus the first half of 2012 and the third quarter of 2011, giving us some benefit," said Kevin McMullen, OMNOVA Solutions' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer."We have made, and continue to make, fundamental improvements to our Company, including our globalization initiatives, expansion of our specialty chemicals capability and the repositioning of our Decorative Products segment to be a positive contributor after the divestitures of our wallcovering businesses. Indicative of this progress, OMNOVA Solutions has increased its year-to-date gross profit by almost 10% to $178.7 million, as compared to $162.8 million a year ago, despite weak demand and volatile raw materials," said McMullen."As we enter the fourth quarter, paper chemical volumes are expected to decline due to a combination of weak market demand and increased competitive activity, while most other OMNOVA product lines are forecasting flat to slightly increased volumes sequentially from the third quarter of 2012. Additionally, raw material costs are expected to increase modestly from today's low levels." Consolidated Results for the Third Quarter Ending August 31, 2012 Net sales decreased $26.8 million, or 8.5%, to $288.2 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to $315.0 million for the third quarter of 2011. The sales decrease was driven by pricing declines of $14.7 million, or 4.7%, reduced volumes of $4.9 million, or 1.6%, and unfavorable currency translation effects of $7.2 million, or 2.2%.Gross profit in the third quarter of 2012 increased to $57.8 million, compared to $50.4 million in the third quarter of 2011, driven primarily by a favorable sales mix. Raw material costs decreased $18.7 million in the third quarter versus the same period last year. Gross profit margins in the third quarter of 2012 were 20.1%, compared to margins of 16.0% in the third quarter of 2011.Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) in the third quarter of 2012 was $30.4 million, compared to $26.8 million in the third quarter of 2011. The increase was due to investments in future growth for research and development, information technology, and increased staffing and employment costs.Interest expense in the third quarter of 2012 was $8.8 million, a decrease of $0.7 million from the third quarter of 2011, due primarily to the completed amortization of an interest rate swap agreement in the second quarter of 2012.Income tax expense was $3.4 million, a 33.0% effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2012, compared to income tax expense of $2.2 million, or a 61.1% effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2011. The higher tax rate in 2011 was due primarily to an asset impairment charge in China for which no tax benefit was recognized due to an offsetting tax valuation allowance. Cash tax payments in the U.S. over the next few years are expected to be minimal as the Company has $121.7 million of U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards and $109.1 million of state and local tax net operating loss carryforwards with expiration dates between 2022 and 2032.Net income for the third quarter was $6.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011. Included are losses from discontinued operations of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012, compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $1.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2012 was $6.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011. Adjusted Income From Continuing Operations (which excludes certain non-recurring expense items detailed in Tables B and C) was $7.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012, compared to Adjusted Income From Continuing Operations of $4.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011.As of August 31, 2012, the Company's debt of $454.0 million was comprised of $250.0 million of 7.875% Senior Notes maturing in 2018, a term loan of $196.5 million maturing in 2017 and $7.5 million of foreign operations borrowings. The Company increased its strong liquidity position as consolidated cash grew to $151.0 million, or an improvement of $17.6 million since the end of the second quarter of 2012. The Company also made cash contributions of $13.5 million to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan during the quarter. On August 31, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Company's U.S. revolving asset-based credit facility, and the available borrowing capacity was $81.8 million.Net Debt declined $19.4 million during the third quarter of 2012 to $305.2 million. The Net Leverage Ratio (Net Debt / EBITDA), as calculated in the Company's Credit Agreement, improved to 2.5x at August 31, 2012, compared to 3.1x on November 30, 2011 (see Table D). Year-to-date, Net Debt has decreased by $51.3 million.Discontinued Operations As part of the Company's strategy to focus on businesses with greater global growth potential, the Company has divested its commercial wallcovering businesses.On December 12, 2011, the Company completed the sale of its North American commercial wallcovering business and received cash of $10.0 million along with the potential for future royalty payments. Early in the second quarter of 2012, the Company divested its U.K.-based wallcovering business for approximately $6.2 million in cash and notes.These businesses were classified as discontinued operations at the end of 2011.Performance Chemicals Third Quarter 2012 ResultsNet sales during the third quarter of 2012 decreased $33.5 million, or 13.3%, to $218.7 million, compared to $252.2 million in the third quarter of 2011. Sales decreased due to reduced pricing of $15.6 million, or 6.2%, volume declines of $10.4 million, or 4.1%, and unfavorable foreign currency translation effects of $7.5 million, or 3.0%. In the third quarter of 2012, Performance Chemicals generated higher Adjusted Segment Operating Profit of $22.0 million, compared to Adjusted Segment Operating Profit of $19.8 million in the third quarter of 2011 (see Table A). Adjusted Segment Operating Profit improved primarily due to a favorable sales mix and lower raw material costs partially offset by lower pricing. The Adjusted Segment Operating Profit margin was 10.1% for the third quarter of 2012, compared to an Adjusted Segment Operating Profit margin of 7.9% in the third quarter of 2011. Year-to-date, Performance Chemicals Adjusted Segment Operating Profit was $71.1 million as compared to $68.8 million for the same period in 2011. Specialty Chemicals sales were $127.3 million for the third quarter of 2012 as compared to $143.4 million for the third quarter of 2011. Volumes in Specialty Chemicals were down 1.8% overall and pricing was down 5.2%, both of which were partially offset by increased global sales in oil and gas drilling chemicals and tape and adhesives. During the quarter, there were several new product introductions in oil and gas drilling chemicals that are being trialed by customers, and the Company won several new customers in construction chemicals. At OMNOVA's new plant in Caojing, China, Performance Chemicals continued work on plant expansion actions focused on growing its specialty chemical product lines in Asia, with an expected startup in mid-2013.Paper and Carpet Chemicals sales were $91.4 million for the third quarter of 2012 as compared to $108.8 million for the third quarter of 2011. As compared to last year, third quarter volumes in Paper and Carpet Chemicals were down 7.2%, while pricing declined 8.9%, primarily due to index pricing formulas. Actions continue to be focused on higher performance product solutions including bio-based co-polymer hybrids and other emulsion chemistries, to deliver greater customer value. During the quarter, a customer permanently shut down a paper mill as a result of a fire earlier in the year, and the Company lost volume at another mill to a competitor. Partially offsetting these declines were increased shipments of coatings to the paperboard and packaging industry.Decorative Products Third Quarter 2012 Results Net sales were $69.5 million during the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $6.7 million, or 10.7%, compared to the third quarter of 2011. Volumes increased 8.8%, while pricing improved by 1.4%. Sales increased in both the coated fabric and laminate product lines. Adjusted Segment Operating Profit was $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to breakeven Adjusted Segment Operating Profit for the third quarter of 2011 (see Table A). Adjusted Segment Operating Profit margin improved to 4.7% in the quarter as compared to breakeven a year ago. With the exit of commercial wallcovering and improvements made to the remaining businesses, this was the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement in Adjusted Segment Operating Profit for Decorative Products. Year-to-date, Decorative Products Adjusted Segment Operating Profit has improved significantly to $8.1 million, as compared to $0.8 million in the same period of 2011.Coated Fabrics sales were $33.1 million, up $1.8 million or an increase of 5.8%. The sales increase was broad-based including transportation and contract upholstery products. Additionally, the Company's Thailand operation had strong sales growth in the quarter driven by new automotive business in Asia and increased demand for exports to North America.Laminates and Performance Films sales were $36.4 million, an increase of $4.9 million, or 15.6%, as compared to a year ago. Laminate sales grew across most market segments led by flooring, store fixture and display, manufactured housing / recreational vehicles and the expansion of decorative laminate products into Asia. During the quarter, the Company was awarded new business from a major retailer for store fixture displays and from a large flooring manufacturer for laminates on a new line of tile flooring.Earnings Conference Call - OMNOVA Solutions has scheduled its Earnings Conference Call for Wednesday, September 26, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. ET.

Christopher Nolan Responds to Criticisms About 'Interstellar' Science
Posted on Tuesday, November 11th, 2014 by Angie Han
There's no question that Christopher Nolan's Interstellar is fictional, but how fictional is it? That's been one of the points of debate surrounding the sci-fi epic, with people like astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson weighing on the plausibility of its science.
For his part, though, Nolan himself doesn't seem at all bothered by the criticism. He says he's "fine" with his films being held to "a weirdly high standard," and points out the obvious fact that "much of it is speculation." Hit the jump to Nolan's comments on the science of Interstellar.

Vanity, Vitality, and Virility: The Science Behind the Products You Love to Buy
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Have you ever wondered whether wrinkles can be smoothed away, how lipstick can shimmer, why diamonds are a girl's best friend, how best to kill germs, and why roads are getting less noisy? Vanity, Vitality, and Virility will give you answers to all of these questions, and many more besides.
In Vanity, Vitality, and Virility, acclaimed popular-science writer John Emsley explans the nautre and behaviour of around 40 ingredients that play important roles in every aspect of modern living: there are chapters on cosmetics, food, sex, hygiene, depression, and on four unexpected ways in which modern products improve our lives. So if you have ever asked yourself whether cosmetics can deliver what they promise, whether certain spreads really can reduce cholesterol, whether nitrates in water are a cause of cancer, whether your sex life can be improved, and whether Prozac is as safe as they say, dive into Vanity, Vitality, and Virility and discover things you always wanted to know: but didn't know who to ask!
"You are standing in the supermarket holding two bottles of sunscreen. One claims to have titanium dioxide, the other something called OMC. What are these mysterious chemicals and which works better? Enter Emsley, Cambridge University science writer in residence, who demystifies the benefits of chemistry from a catalogue of over 30 chemicals that we encounter every day. His subjects jump from lipstick and sunscreen to trans-fats and vitamin C, bleach, Prozac, baby diapers and V of the title). Emsley includes the sources and uses of all the chemicals, which can read like encyclopedia entries, as well as histories of each chemical's discovery and occasional misuses. To this he adds a few morality tales of chemical witch-hunts in the media, such as the unsubstantiated accusation that aluminum causes Alzheimer's. The book can be read cover to cover or used as a reference, but either way, even chemists will find out some surprising facts, such as that scurvy was for a time treated with sulfuric acid. The more complicated chemistry is relegated to a glossary, but unexplained scientific terms pop up with regularity in the text. Emsley gets on his soapbox in the postscript, asking for a little gratitude for the much maligned chemical industry, whose benefits he has already demonstrated. Given the occasional detours into technical language, however, his audience may be predominantly the chemically inclined. (June)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Book News Annotation:
Academic and author Emsley reveals the chemical secrets behind the products in your cabinet and expert pronouncements in your consciousness. Topics include analyzing lipstick, beating gravity with the alpha-hydroxy acids in skin products, figuring out whether we should consume more or less foods with trans-fatty acids, fighting for and with the nitric oxide in Viagra, winning and losing the war against germs, evaluating and enduring certain chemicals in the treatment of depression and Alzheimer's Disease, and discerning the ways of the wily polymer in roads and chewing gun. Emsley includes a glossary and a list of resources for further reading once we get over what we have been doing to ourselves with selenium.
Annotation �2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
'Vanity, Vitality, and Virility' is a portrait gallery of chemicals involved in our everyday life, from Viagra and selenium to whispering asphalt, nappies, and chewing gum. It explains the science behind many products and is by the author of 'The Consumer's Good Chemical Guide', 'Molecules at an Exhibition', and 'Nature's Building Blocks'.
What is the secret of shower cleaners? How does the dangerous explosive nitroglycerin ward off heart attacks? And what medicines, usually prescribed for other purposes, are said to produce the ultimate orgasm?
In Vanity, Vitality, and Virility, award-winning science writer John Emsley offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of 30 chemicals that we use everyday to make ourselves more beautiful, to improve our diet and sexual pleasure, to kill germs, and to ward off depression and other mental illnesses. Emsley looks at common compounds such as alpha-hydroxy acids, vitamin C, chlorine bleach, and Prozac, telling us if they work, how they work, and how they were discovered. Indeed, the book is packed with useful information and easy-to-digest science, and Emsley relates it all with a light touch that delights in the odd fact or amusing anecdote. Thus we learn of the "vitamin C tights" sold in Japan to make your legs more beautiful (they don't work) and of the whimsical Hungarian scientist who first isolated vitamin C and wanted to name it "godnose"--because he had no idea what the compound was. We discover that Cleopatra was right to bath in milk, which is filled with alpha-hydroxy acids. And we read about the unforgettable British researcher who demonstrated a powerful new drug for male erections at a Las Vegas convention--injecting himself with the compound and then "displaying the results" to a stunned lecture hall.
As with the much-loved Nature's Building Blocks, in John Emsley's hands, chemistry comes alive. Anyone curious about the ingredients in the products we use, and everyone fascinated with science, will be enthralled by this book.

He wrote a "Molecule of the Month" column for the Independent for many years, received a Glaxo award for science writing and the Chemical Industries Association's President's Award for science communication.

This is a really good, quick, and easy recipe. That much chili powder is NOT for the faint of heart, though...I cut it back to 1/2 tsp, and it was still quite spicy. The asafoetida powder (which...
My husband made this and didn't change a thing -- it was perfect! Not gummy at all. Tasted almost exactly like the okra dish at our favorite Indian restaurant in Irvine, the Clay Oven.
I used 2 cloves garlic instead of the asafoetida powder. I also used vegetable spray instead of the oil. This great tasting combination makes me want to make more soon!

Five members of the Marion County Knights and Lady Knights tennis teams competed in the state tournament last week. Freshman singles player Alex Spalding, who won the regional crown, and doubles teammates Noah Swencki and Jacob Burdette, who won the regional doubles title, were the three Knights who went to the state tennis tournament Thursday at the University of Kentucky Boone/Downing Tennis Center.
For the Lady Knights, the doubles duo of Elyssa Holt and Madison Cassidy competed in the state tennis tournament, playing at Shillito Park.
In singles action, freshman Alex Spalding lost his first round match to the No. 4 seed Zack Lewis of Lexington Catholic 6-0, 6-0.
In doubles competition, the pair of Swencki and Burdette won their first round match against Alex Newmark/Tucker Schweikart of Ashland Paul Blazer 7-6 (2), 4-6, 6-2. The duo then went on to defeat Zeeshan Bhatti/Bilal Ahmed of Elizabethtown in a rematch of the regional tournament, 6-2, 6-3 in the second round of play. In the third round of action, Swencki and Burdette fell to Brandon Lancaster/Parker Thieneman of St. X, the No. 2 team in the state, 6-1, 6-0.
"Jacob and Noah played solid tennis," Head Coach Landon Williams said. "St. X had too many weapons and was just better than us. It's been a great year and they represented Marion County well. I was very happy for them."
In doubles action for the Lady Knights, Holt and Cassidy defeated Kennedy Damron/Kayla Miller of Knott Central in the first round 6-1, 3-6, 6-3.
However, in the second round, the pair lost to Bess Fley and Abby Roebker of Notre Dame, 6-0, 6-0.
According to Head Coach Angela Holt, Holt and Cassidy took a quick 3-0 lead against Knott Central.
"Madison's forehand was strong and accurate," Holt said. "She started the match playing some of the best tennis she has played all year. Even though Knott Central came from behind to win the second set, the girls worked well together to set up some winning shots to keep them in the match. Elyssa had a great drop shot and some alley shots that combined with Madison's strong service games enabled them to win the match. In the second round they lost to Notre Dame. Notre Dame hit the ball hard and made very few errors."
