Living Systems, Feeling Systems
My work has been grounded in systems thinking. That has been the intellectual field that has informed my inquiry and has justified my natural tendency for connecting seemingly unrelated things and expanded boundaries. The field that has supported my personal quest for greater integration and inclusivity. However, although I continue to do much of...
Women and Systems
I attended the International Society for the Systems Sciences (or ISSS) conference this summer in San Jose, California, and I was fortunate to share the experience with a dear group of students and collaborators. I have been part of ISSS since 1999 and this scholarly community has been part of my "intellectual family." Each year, in...
A Bird's Eye View of the World
Last week, I had the opportunity to fly for the first time in my life—and maybe the only one—in a hot air balloon with my daughter, Kahlia. I got the tickets last year at her school's auction. The combination of planning a special outing while helping our beloved charter school made sense. We have tried to schedule this trip on...
Healing Places: Learning and Leading for the Re-enchantment of our World
There are events in your life that mark you—moments when you realize that you have learned a lesson and are ready for a new challenge. I have been working as change agent linking education, business, and sustainability together for the last 15 years. I have dedicated much of my work to creating learning communities, facilitating dialogue and...
Shared Ownership
When I started thinking of a topic to write about for this post, the theme that immediately came to my mind was "shared ownership." It has been a theme that keeps coming up as I reflect on some of the challenges and opportunities I see in the organizational contexts where I work. Shared ownership can involve the real material common...
Collaborating for a Sustainable Future
On May 11th, I attended the Sustainable Enterprise Conference in Rohnert Park, California. This conference has become a vibrant event in Sonoma County that fosters innovation and cultural change toward sustainability. Businesses, government and nonprofits are represented in this conference which presents both the best practices as well as the...
Reflecting on Boundaries: Who is Teaching and Who is Learning?
As a systems thinker and practitioner, the question of boundaries has always fascinated me. Which boundaries are real and which ones are humanly constructed? Which boundaries are helpful and which ones need to expand to include more? Where is the boundary of our socially constructed world and how does it interface with the natural world? Where do...
Systems Practice for Socio-Cultural Transformation: It Begins with Us
This semester at Saybrook University, I taught a course titled "Systems Practice for Socio-Cultural Transformation." It was co-created with a group of organizational systems students who wanted to experience the implications of moving from systems thinking to systems being and explore other ways of working with systems tools and...
Living Organizations: Designing Cultures that Foster Diversity and Evolution
We have come to appreciate diversity as an asset in organizations. Diversity of gender, age, ethnicity, or any other manifestation of the ways we, as human beings, express our uniqueness. But beyond affirmative action, which creates a legal platform for equal employment opportunity, why should we care about organizational cultures that foster...
Co-creating New Organizational Cultures
It is inspiring to see more and more social enterprises been created. Social entrepreneurs are innovating new structures to integrate business knowledge with a socio-ecological purpose, expanding what traditionally has been considered profit. At the same time, the experimentation with new structures and processes also means that social...
Evolving the Responsible Business
I have been thinking a lot about the need for new business models. By "new" I mean truly innovative and deeply ethical—in other words, revolutionary, or even better, evolutionary. I'm of the opinion that we have plenty of evidence and experience to harvest the lessons of what works and what doesn't work in our current...
Allowing Transformation Toward Sustainability
I completely believe in "the power of intention to spark evolutionary change," as Nancy Southern so eloquently wrote in a previous post. As human beings, we have the capacity to envision a different future and to commit to actions that will turn that vision into a new reality. That's the power of systems design: the power of coming...

"I sure wish I had more faith in my fellow man than I do. Again, that queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach...."+1
"DRONE ON" was very enlightening - and a bit scary. As I mentioned in my 1st post, hunting drones can be a great new sport for all of us with rifles (or shotguns for those pesky low fliers).
Good videoPretty soon we'll have Improvised Explosive Drones?They included some video of a hobby drone buzzing the Brooklyn bridge, Empire State Building, and Statue of Liberty. For $1000 someone could add explosive?
If you are going to shoot them down you better get a clean shot or they may return fire:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Jplh7uatr-E#!(Skip to about 2:30)Also, despite all the hating on drones, I could see these things being moderately useful for white water boating to scout runs in canyons etc where line of sight isn't otherwise possible. Future models could also potentially fly off and get help for you (with messages/ images etc). It is agreed that having them generally whizz past on the trail would be infuriating. Also some non-quadrocopters:http://www.gizmag.com/lehmann-aviation-la100-uav/25142/http://www.gizmag.com/swinglet-cam-aerial-photography-drone/16892/

"I could see these things being moderately useful for white water boating to scout runs in canyons etc where line of sight isn't otherwise possible."Hmm... Wouldn't be better to develop the skills needed to read a river; the skills needed to read a topo map; the skills needed to read snow fields; etc?Not to mention the adventure and personal satisfaction of solving and successfully developing a solution to an obstacle.Here's an interesting article from Friday's USA Today.http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/01/10/domestic-drones-backlash/1566212/
"Hmm... Wouldn't be better to develop the skills needed to read a river; the skills needed to read a topo map; the skills needed to read snow fields; etc?"Indeed the skills to read rivers/ maps etc is super important and having a drone won't help you do that, but in some situations it is simply impossible to get yourself into a situation where you can scout a river. Examples of this include gorges where there are overhanging rocks on each side (see a couple of examples below). In these cases you are essentially running a rapid blind and unaware whether some new submerged log is going to kill you. In these situations, some kind of tough drone would simply be an excellent option. http://www.oregonkayaking.net/rivers/elwha/elwha.htmlhttp://oregonkayaking.net/rivers/box/box.htmlhttp://caliproduct.blogspot.com.au/2007_01_01_archive.htmlhttp://www.awetstate.com/Print%5CNTrinity.htmlhttp://riversofchile.com/rio-llizan/

Legal experts expressed grave reservations Tuesday about an Obama administration memo concluding that the United States can order the killing of American citizens believed to be affiliated with al-Qaida — with one saying the White House was acting as "judge, jury and executioner."Link to story
Hi NickSeems to me those 'legal experts' are just seeking glory and publicity for themselves.Imagine you are leading a US Army patrol in, say, Afganistan, patrol an area known to be threatened by Al-Quaeda. You come under fire. Are these 'legal experts' demanding that the patrol leader trot up to the enemy combatants to ask them 'Any of you chaps American?'Come on!Cheers
Not so roger. It is about precedent. It's continuation of the erosision of our rights. It lets the US kill its own citizens without due process. This and the unprecedented use of executive orders are disgusting.
"It is about precedent. It's continuation of the erosision of our rights. It lets the US kill its own citizens without due process. This and the unprecedented use of executive orders are disgusting."Well, I'll be darned! Never thought I'd see the day. +100
The Obama administration gets such a free pass on this madness. There was so much anti-war activism in the G.W. Bush years, some of which I was a direct part of, all filled with so much animosity towards an administration seen by so many as grossly overstepping its bounds with our military and trampling the personal liberty of US citizens with the Patriot Act, etc. I remember monthly demonstrations in downtown Los Angeles and across the country. Yet somehow those so critical of Bush have lost their fire when it comes to Obama, many still clinging to the fantasy that he's some sort of bringer of peace. I still see Obama stickers with a big peace sign as the "O" on cars...It's surreal.I wonder if he strokes his Nobel Peace Prize while he's getting debriefed on the latest round of drone attacks.YES, WE CAN!
Craig,Exactly. I was of course more giving bush a pass caught up post 9/11. Came around towards the second term realizing the erosion of our rights. Better late than never I guess. But it blown up since then even more. Sad how we gladly hand over our rights. And I think obama doesn't need briefings. Heard he enjoys being hands on as far as the drones go.
"The Obama administration gets such a free pass on this madness."Good article on exactly that: http://www.salon.com/2013/02/05/when_liberals_ignore_injustice/
This began as a thread about those tiny little bird-like machines that can go zinging about and annoy people. Why the sudden issue about USA killer drones?Especially here on BPL. Roger,The US citizen angle involves the drone killing of a US citizen also an Al Quada leader and others in Yemen, and has been coming up in the USA in an organized fashion recently on public TV and other media. They may have a pretty good point of US constitutional law, but I would be more concerned about the innocent people of any nations who get killed and maimed in these attacks, a military policy euphemistically called 'collateral damage' that has been a disaster for the USA at least since the early days of the Vietnam conflict, and is well covered in Neil Sheehan's book about John Paul Vann in Vietnam entitled, "A Bright Shining Lie." Our recently appointed Secretary of State opposed this policy vigorously as a young veteran.I'll never forget the Aussies I knew in Vietnam, the most capable and professional soldiers I ever met anywhere. I agree with your sentiment, if not opinion. A lot of civilian folks nowadays don't really understand what war is all about. That's probably a good thing, as long as they are against it. They are better off for not knowing. BTW, on the original point of this thread, under common law that generally applies in the USA, air space over land is owned by the land owner to significant altitudes in most cases. Recreants can't just send their copters zinging about over areas owned by others, including persons and state and local govermnents. I'm not a 'legal expert,' just a retired legal aid lawyer.MYOGers might also be interested in taking a look at all the carbon fiber parts for these copters that are being sold on Ebay. Might be something useful there.
That's a good read Doug, thanks.One dark thought (amongst many) about drone warfare that lurks in the back of my mind: I play video games with my 11 year old son quite a bit. He's good. I mean really good. I know he plays online (I play online with him) but I recently found out he's got a "reputation", even amongst college and adult gamers. I actually heard about my son through an ex-student that now attends UC Berkely and is also a gamer...(Thankfully, my son is also his class president, an avid reader, and loves camping too...)That said, if you were to convert the controls of a drone to an Xbox controller platform and give them some time to learn, I'm willing to bet that my son (as well as legions of other teens and tweens in this country) could probably go toe to toe with some of the best drone pilots out there. We have an entire generation that is literally growing up simulating what the Air Force doesn't start training adults to do until the age 18 or later...I hear a lot of talk about Orwell's 1984 these days. How about Ender's Game?

A good friend of mine is a GoPro athlete and shared a photo of a GoPro "drone" that is slated for 2013/2014. It uses live-Feed from a GoPro cam to transmit video- pretty badass.
Good reference and we will all learn very soon what continual modernization of warfare means to us and our descendents.The experiences of B52 pilots vs infantry during the Vietnam Conflict may provide a sense of how the reality of casualties may be perceived by future warriors.
A lot of money and danger to aircrews could be spared with S & R drones out covering grid patterns searching for missing persons with optical and IR cameras. Could save a lot of lives.OTOH, I AM serious about an "open drone hunting season". If I knew private drones were monitoring an area for invasion of privacy reasons I'd be very tempted to shoot them down. With a good magnum chambered rifle, Horus reticle scope and laser rangefinding ballistic programmable binoculars one could have some fun here in Nevada's open deserts. Jus' sayin'...Or... just use "electronic counter-measures" to scramble their control signals. That's a less pointy stick method of dealing with what will be a nusiance in the future. I use a radar/lidar scrambler in my car to good effect.
> It lets the US kill its own citizens without due process.Sigh.This completely avoids the basic facts of WAR.It also avoids answering my basic question.Every legal convention about war that I know of allows a legitimate military force which comes under fire to return that fire.In this case the US forces are in Afghanistan at the request of the internationally recognised elected Afghan government. This gives them the same legal status as the Afghan army. They are dealing with a internationally recognised terrorist organisation - Al-Quaeda. The internationally accepted rules of war are quite clear about legal actions in this case. The so-called 'legal experts' in this case are probably Tea Party supporters solely concerned with attacking Obama. THAT is politics. In this case Obama did not create any new law or erode anyone's legal rights. If you go to fight for the enemy against your own country, you become a traitor and you forfeit your normal civil rights. The order was simply an operational matter of how the military forces should procede, within the rules of war.If you don't know about the rules of war, read up on them and then on the Geneva Conventions and the Hague Conventions for a start. The former date back to 1864, the latter to 1899. The fine details place limits on the treatment of non-combatants; it is assumed that combatants can and will kill each other.For the record, I think the USA was stupid to get involved in both Iraq and Afghanistan, but that is a separate matter. I also think the Afghan government is riddled with corruption (they are in broad company), but that too is irrelevant here.Cheers

How the hell she swallow that much!
Dulles heroin bust: Woman ingested nearly five pounds of heroin pellets
Nigerian woman ingested 180 pellets of heroin
Customs and Border Patrol officials say that a woman who was caught at Washington Dulles International Airport having ingested nearly five pounds worth of heroin pellets represents the largest bust of it's kind in the airport's history.
On March 14, officials say that 52-year-old Bola Adebisi arrived at Dulles from Nigeria on an Ethiopian Airlines flight. During a routine patdown by Customs agents, officials noticed that her stomach was abnormally rigid.
Upon secondary questioning and inspection, Adebisi was unable to give the address, phone number or physical description of a brother she said she was staying with.
Adebisi was then taken to an area hospital, when an x-ray detected a large amount of abnormal objects in her abdomen, at which point she began passing pellets. She remained in the hospital expelling the suspected drugs for about three days.
Once doctors said all 180 pellets were out of Adebisi's body, officials say she had passed 4 pounds 12 ounces worth of heroin. Officials say it had a street value of about $150,000.
The record bust eclipses the previous one set in late March of 2011, when a Nigerian man was caught with just over four pounds of heroin pellets ingested.

The Mass General Cancer Center teams up with the American Cancer Society to increase education, awareness and funding to fight cancer.
A Powerful Partnership
The American Cancer Society (ACS) is a nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. Since 1946, the ACS has contributed more than $52 million to more than 80 Mass General investigators for cancer research through its extramural research and training grants program. Many of the Cancer Center's patients and their families traveling to Boston for treatment benefit from a free place to stay at the American Cancer Society's AstraZeneca Hope Lodge Center in Boston, and the Cancer Center also participates in the ACS's Patient Navigator Program, which provides one-on-one guidance, support and information to patients diagnosed with cancer. This summer, the Cancer Center and the ACS teamed up for three important events to help promote cancer awareness and education.
Live Webinar On June 7, two Mass General Cancer Center investigators participated in an exclusive live webinar hosted by the ACS. The purpose of the webinar was to provide information about some of the latest advancements in cancer research, and nearly 100 ACS donors and friends tuned in. Shannon Stott, PhD, a scientist in the Center for Engineering in Medicine, talked about the Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) Chip and how this technology will revolutionize cancer treatment. Eyal Attar, MD, an oncologist at the Cancer Center specializing in hematologic malignancies, shared his perspective on emerging cancer treatments including how genomics will lead to personalized cancer therapies in the future.
The Relay for Life The ACS holds many Relay for Life events in cities and towns all across the country to raise awareness and funds for cancer research and programs. These fun and empowering overnight events celebrate survivorship and honor the memories of those lost to cancer. This year, four investigators from the Cancer Center received generous grants from the ACS Relay for Life Program. To help give back and show their support, several physicians from the Center for Psychiatric Oncology and the Survivorship Program at the Cancer Center participated in the Relay for Life in Watertown, Massachusetts on June 10 (see photo on the right). They raised $2,000 for the program while enjoying the camaraderie of the event.
"Participating in the Relay for Life was significant for me both personally and professionally," explains Elyse Park, director of behavioral sciences for the Center for Psychiatric Oncology. "Professionally, it was important for me to show support for the ACS's research and advocacy mission. On a personal level, it gave me the opportunity to walk in the memory of those I've lost to cancer. We've all been touched by this disease, and walking in the Relay for Life was a very peaceful, meaningful experience."
New England Research Breakfast On June 20, the ACS Cancer Action Network (CAN) brought ACS leadership, staff and friends together with researchers from the Cancer Center and members of the Boston cancer research, media and political communities to explore advances in the fight against cancer. Appropriately held at the Boston Museum of Science, the breakfast included an update from Cancer Center researcher Shannon Stott, PhD, on the latest developments in Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) technology. The event was hosted by WCVB-TV news anchor, Pam Cross, and featured remarks from Christopher W. Hansen, President of the ACS Cancer Action Network; Donald J. Gudaitis, CEO of the ACS New England Division; Allene Diaz, Vice President of U.S. Oncology Marketing for EMD Serono, Inc.; The Honorable Robert A. DeLeo, Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives; and Patrick Spain, biologist, adventurer, cancer survivor and host of the National Geographic series Beast Hunter.

Usually I post recipes and photos of step by step directions on how to make food. This is a public service announcement on how not to make hamburgers inside your kitchen.
First, do not make them inside if your kitchen is freshly painted and all the cabinet doors are NOT re-hung.
Second, do not allow your husband, who is known to set off smoke alarms while cooking, cook burgers in your house.
Third, do not allow your husband to show you an article he found in a men's magazine (NOT that kind) that tells how to make the best burger and then follow those instructions.
What went down is my husband, Phil, who is a great guy and knows how to grill our burgers to perfection, wanted to try out this new method he found. I'm all for letting someone else do the cooking now and then but this was a disaster and he would agree. I have to stop here and say the burgers were good but not excellent and worth this kind of hassle.
The directions said to heat a cast iron skillet on high heat for 5 minutes, which caused my pan to smoke so much that the first smoke alarm went off, it was in the kitchen. Next you add the ball of meat to the hot pan-meat full of fat and such and causes more smoke and grease to fly. Second smoke alarm is now beeping in my bedroom, next to the kitchen. Then you flip the ball and smoosh down sending more grease flying and smoking to increase because the heat is still on high. The third alarm begins to beep, hallway location, and by now the windows have been opened and all ceiling fans are on high. The dog is suffering and my son is removing batteries as fast as possible. Smoke is pouring out of the windows, which if you stepped outside of the house, you would see this. We had 4 alarms beeping until the batteries were removed, the grease and smoke was in abundance and all the spice jars, boxes and bottles in the cabinet above and next to the stove are now covered in grease since the doors were not hung there that night.
I have a lot of clean up now. My husband did clean the stove and counters and the floor. I had to mop the floor or else we would have sustained injuries. We had begun with one burger and since we were committed we finished all 4 that way. Like I said, they were good but not excellent. Next time we stick to the grill or use a lid and lower heat. I hope you learn from our mistakes.
Happy cooking!

David O'Brien Martin's roots in the north country ran deep. His legacy may run deeper still.
The former Republican congressman, who represented the north country from 1981 to 1993, died Tuesday night at his home in Hedgesville, W.Va. He was remembered by friends and colleagues for his commitment to serving the region, perhaps best exemplified by his efforts to bring the 10th Mountain Division to Fort Drum in the 1980s.
"For those of us in the north country, his work truly changed our lives," said Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh — who, like Mr. Martin, formerly represented the region in Congress.
Mr. Martin, 68, was with his family and under hospice care when he died, said Steven M. Cary of O'Leary Funeral Service in Canton. The cause of death was not disclosed.
Services are scheduled for next week in West Virginia, followed by calling hours Dec. 3 at O'Leary, 5821 Route 11, Mr. Cary said. Mass will be said Dec. 4 at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 66 Court St., Canton. Burial plans were not finalized as of Thursday evening, he said.
Mr. Martin served in Vietnam, and was a commissioned officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. A graduate of the University of Notre Dame, he resumed his studies upon returning to civilian life. He earned a law degree from Albany Law School in 1973, the same year he was elected to the St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators.
Following three years in county government, Mr. Martin rose quickly, serving in the state Assembly from 1977 until the end of 1980, the year he was elected to the first of six terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.
It was just four years later, at the Watertown American Legion post, that Mr. Martin broke the news that the storied light infantry division would be reactivated in Northern New York.
"His incredible effort to revitalize Fort Drum and bring the 10th Mountain Division to our doorstep brought renewed sense of vitality and purpose to the region," Mr. McHugh said Wednesday.
More than $1.3 billion was spent on construction on the post from 1985 to 1993, during Mr. Martin's tenure in Washington, according to a 2006 Times article.
"He probably did more for the north country than anyone has," said former Republican state Sen. H. Douglas Barclay, Pulaski. "It's a sad day for the north country. He was a great guy, a great friend and a wonderful public servant, both in the Assembly and in Congress."
While in Congress, Mr. Martin was a member of the Committee on Armed Services for 10 years, serving as senior Republican member of the Military Installations Subcommittee and vice chairman of the Morale, Welfare and Recreational Panel, overseeing military commissaries, exchanges and related activities. He also served on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
While Mr. Martin's commitment to the nation and the region loom large, so do the contributions he and his family made to St. Lawrence County. His father, Edson A. Martin, donated the land for SUNY Canton in the early 1960s. The younger Mr. Martin's longtime advocacy was honored by the college in 2006 with an honorary doctorate of laws.
"Congressman Martin was a wonderful supporter of SUNY Canton and the north country," Interim SUNY Canton President Carli C. Schiffner said Wednesday. "He assisted the college in many ways throughout his career, and he dedicated much of his life to furthering the development of Fort Drum, our schools and our communities."
There was life after Congress for Mr. Martin. After deciding not to run in 1992, Mr. Martin became a professor at the Naval War College in Newport, R.I., and later an executive with soft-drink trade groups. He founded a government affairs, consulting and marketing firm in 2000.
It was in that role that then-SUNY Canton president Joseph L. Kennedy observed Mr. Martin's clout and camaraderie first hand during a visit to Washington.
"He was just known by everybody. He could walk us through security without waiting in line," said Mr. Kennedy, who stepped down this fall after 19 years in the post. "I admired his spunk."
SUNY Potsdam also had cause to mourn the former congressman, and to celebrate his accomplishments. Mr. Martin's papers are held in the college archives, "so that all can remember and learn from his life's work," SUNY Potsdam President John F. Schwaller said.
Times staff writer Brian Kelly contributed to this report.

They beat them 8-2 and 6-0 on Friday and on Saturday they won 7-5 and 5-1 to move their record to eight region wins. The home stand was a welcome break from traveling. The previous weekend the Eagles were swept by Western Nevada 7-4, 10-0, 15-6 and 10-2. EU plays at home this weekend against SLCC. This series was scheduled to be in Salt Lake City, but due to weather they switched and played up in Salt Lake earlier in the season.

The Macallan is the only distillery to age all of its whiskies exclusively in Sherry Oak Casks from Spain. The result is the full, rich, slightly sweet taste and dark, rich color that no other single malt can match. Other distilleries may add caramel coloring to enhance the color of their whiskies. At The Macallan, they don't have to. The rich taste and dark color come from centuries of experience in aging the spirit in oak casks that have been seasoned with Sherry. Raise your glass, notice the dark, rich color and take a sip of what is said to be the most colorful scotch whisky in the world.
The Macallan Distillery is probably one of the most famous brands in the whisky industry today. The distillery is three miles from Craigellachie which is the heart of the Speyside region. Even though Macallan is located in the heart of Speyside they have labeled it a Highland malt. The distillery was founded in 1824 and was named the Elchies Distillery. Macallan has 8 wash stills and 18 spirit stills and produces around 8,000,000 litres a year. In 2001 Macallan opened up a new visitor center. The tour that Macallan provides is very in depth and is great if you are just starting out and learning all about whisky. It shows all the processes and the maturation all the way down to microscopic slides so you can understand what happens. It is worth visiting.

The application was originally started by a startup titled Wiseleap, which was able to take only total of a $50,000 grand prize at a recent developer conference that brings money to promising startups. This, along with the recent image sharing application acquisition Skitch, it appears that they Touchanote is really positioning themselves to be a player within the industry.
They will be utilizing a combination of various NFC stickers along with a recent mobile application, and you can download both straight through the Touchanote website. One example of how you can utilize the new technology is to place a sticker on the fridge that also has a grocery list in the ever note application. This would allow you to launch your list through the phone by tapping or waving your device straight near the attack. This is a very interesting way to utilize the NFC technology and should make for an interesting new application that should give users a lot of control over their situation and had some very interesting new technology to their package.

Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
In this trial, a very heterogeneous group of patients was treated with a standardized technique. Radiation and/or chemotherapy technique was not customized for patient stage and known risk factors as has become common practice. However, the overall result of the trial, showing no difference between WPR and chemotherapy for intermediate risk disease, is the first randomized phase III evidence that chemotherapy alone may be adequate adjuvant treatment, without WPR, in this group of patients. Because of the limitations of the study, it should be considered hypothesis-generating, rather than as defining a new standard of care. Further study of risk factors for local vs distant recurrence and pattern of failure is sorely needed and will help us to custom tailor adjuvant treatment regimes to meet each patient's needs.
The unplanned subgroup analyses may indeed support the hypothesis that more advanced and high risk endometrial cancer patients benefit from chemotherapy because of the high risk of metastatic disease. Whether or not high-intermediate risk patients benefit from the local control benefit of radiation cannot be discerned from this trial. Results from unplanned subgroup analysis must be taken with a grain of salt.

Myocarditis is an inflammation of the myocardium, the middle layer of the heart wall. Myocarditis is usually caused by a viral infection. Signs and symptoms of myocarditis include chest pain, heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms.
If myocarditis becomes severe, the pumping action of your heart weakens, and your heart won't be able to supply the rest of your body with enough blood. Clots also could form in your heart, leading to a stroke or heart attack.
Treatment for myocarditis depends on the underlying cause.
In mild cases, myocarditis may have no noticeable symptoms. You may feel ill and have general symptoms of a viral infection and never realize your heart is affected.
In serious cases, the signs and symptoms of myocarditis vary, depending on the cause of the disease. Common myocarditis symptoms include:
When children develop myocarditis, they may have these signs and symptoms:
Call your doctor if you have any of the symptoms of myocarditis, particularly chest pain and shortness of breath. If you've had an infection, be alert for the symptoms of myocarditis and let your doctor know if they occur. If you have severe symptoms, go to the emergency room or call for emergency medical personnel.
Often, the exact cause of an individual case of myocarditis isn't identified. However, there are numerous potential causes of myocarditis, such as:
Myocarditis also sometimes occurs if you're exposed to:
When myocarditis is severe, it can permanently damage your heart muscle. This damage may cause:
You're likely to start by seeing your primary care doctor, or in the case of severe symptoms, an emergency room doctor. You may then be referred to a doctor who specializes in treating disorders of the heart (cardiologist) and possibly an infectious disease specialist.
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what you might expect from your doctor.
Preparing a list of questions can help you ensure you cover all of the points that are important to you. For myocarditis, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment at any time that you don't understand something.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
If your doctor suspects myocarditis, he or she may also order one or more tests in addition to asking you questions and examining you to make a diagnosis of myocarditis and determine the severity of your condition, including:
In many cases myocarditis improves, either on its own or with treatment, leading to a complete recovery. Myocarditis treatment focuses on treating the underlying cause.
In mild cases, your doctor may tell you to rest and may prescribe medications to help your body fight off the infection causing myocarditis while your heart recovers. If bacteria are causing the infection, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics. Although antiviral medications are available, they haven't proven effective in the treatment of most cases of myocarditis.
Certain rare types of viral myocarditis, such as giant cell and eosinophilic myocarditis, respond to corticosteroids or other medications to suppress the immune system response. In some cases caused by chronic illnesses, such as lupus, the treatment is directed at the underlying disease.
If myocarditis is causing heart failure or rapid or irregular heartbeats as a symptom, your doctor may hospitalize you. You may receive drugs to regulate your heartbeat. If your heart is weak, your doctor may prescribe medications to reduce your heart's workload or help you eliminate excess fluid. These medications may include:
In some severe cases of myocarditis, aggressive treatment may be necessary, such as:
In the most severe cases, doctors may consider urgent heart transplantation.
Some people may have chronic and irreversible damage to the heart muscle requiring lifelong medications, while other people need medications for just a few months and then recover completely.
Rest and reducing the workload on your heart is an important part of recovery. Your doctor will likely tell you what type of physical activity you can perform during the several months while your heart heals. Ask your doctor when you can resume normal activities.
If you have any lingering heart damage, it's also important to consume a low-salt diet, restrict the amount of fluids you drink and avoid smoking. Your doctor will let you know what your fluid intake should be, as well as the amount of salt that's OK for you to eat.
There's no specific prevention for myocarditis. However, taking these steps to prevent infections may help:

Lipscomb (8-14, 3-8 A-Sun)
ETSU (7-17, 5-6 A-Sun)
2/2/2013 | ETSU/MSHA Athletics Center | Attendance: 2585
Saturday, February 02, 2013
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. –Untimely turnovers and missed free throws negated a spirited effort by the Lipscomb men's basketball team in a 90-88 overtime loss to Atlantic Sun Conference foe ETSU on Saturday afternoon in Johnson City.
"I'm proud of our guys," said Lipscomb head coach Scott Sanderson. "They keep battling and battling and battling. They don't have any quit in them. That's a tough loss to take but we'll bounce back."
After leading 39-35 at the half, the Bisons (8-14, 3-8 A-Sun) built a 10-point lead just before the halfway point of the second half. The Bucs (7-17, 5-6 A-Sun) chipped away at the lead thanks to missed free-throw opportunities by Lipscomb including a pair of front ends of one-and-one bonus shots.
Lipscomb pushed the lead back to 10 at 70-60 with 6:33 to play but the Bucs refused to go away putting together an 8-2 run to pull within four at 72-68. ETSU would eventually take a 79-77 lead with 17 seconds remaining on a 3-pointer from Jarvis Jones but Lipscomb senior guard Deonte Alexander made the two biggest free throws of the night with eight seconds remaining to send the game to overtime.
In the extra frame, the lead would change hands seven times with the last coming on Jones' fifth trey of the game with 15 seconds remaining. The Bisons got one last chance to send the game to a second overtime but a layup by Alexander rattled off the iron and the Bucs escaped with the victory.
"It was a back-and-forth game and whoever had the ball last had a chance to end up winning," said Sanderson. "ETSU hit a big shot and we missed the one down the stretch and missed some free throws too but that's just part of the game."

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Dozens of couples in Maine attended a one-of-a-kind wedding expo in Portland Sunday.
The Rainbow Wedding Network has produced nearly 100 wedding shows around the country for same-gender couples.
This was the first one held in Portland -- and an important one --coming on the heels of same sex marriage being legalized in Maine.
"It's so refreshing for them to walk into the show that they don't get the question: are you sisters? Which one of you are planning the wedding?" says co-founder, Cindy Sproule. She says 35 to 37 Maine wedding vendors were chosen for the event.
"It's [being engaged] still all very special and that's all how we were treated here today," says Larry Kieft. "Even after 24 years and it's like it"s all brand-new again."
9 states and the Disctrict of Columbia have approved same-sex marriage. The Rainbow Wedding Network has held gay wedding expos in 22 states.

Stakeholders unite to boost access to raw materials in Europe Data tal-pubblikazzjoni: 07/04/2014, L-aħħar aġġornament: 30/06/2015
A milestone of the European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials was reached on 7 April 2014 with the announcement of the first set of commitments by over 800 companies, public agencies, research institutes, non-governmental organisations and other stakeholders from all over Europe.
These partners have all committed to contribute in one way or the other to fostering technological and non-technological innovation in Europe's raw materials value chains. The call for commitments launched by the European Commission in October 2013 resulted in a total of 80 commitments that will shape innovation in Europe in the coming years for metallic, mineral and forest-based raw materials.
Examples of projects:
- I²Mine-pilot: Fully automated mineral winning process/system including near-to-face processing and backfilling for deep metal mines
- RESET: Raw Elements Substitution in Electronic and Optoelectronic Technologies
- SAFE & PRODUCTIVE MINING WASTE FACILITIES: Classification of secondary resources and slope stability key to making existing and future mining waste disposal sites safe and productive
- WEEE 2020: Raw material partnership delivering advancements across the waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) value chain to improve the environment, help meet EU material demand and drive a resource efficient, green economy
- ECAMOB: Enhancing the cascade use of wood by integrating an intensified mobilisation of forest resources
- Platinum: promoting research and innovation on platinum and related metals through international co-operation
Next steps
A Communication on the European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials is to be released by the end of 2014. The European Commission will monitor progress in implementation of the first commitments through a system of annual reports from the various partners. The next call for commitments will be launched in 2015. Some of the commitments, in addition to their own resources, may benefit from EU funding via different programmes (e.g. Horizon 2020, Structural funds).
European Innovation Partnerships (EIP) were launched under Innovation Union to accelerate the market take up of innovations addressing key challenges. The EIP on Raw Materials' objective is to reduce raw materials import dependency by improving supply conditions from the EU and outside and providing resource efficiency and alternatives in supply. It also aims to bring Europe to the forefront in raw materials sectors while also mitigating their negative environmental and social impacts.
It is important that we move from today's linear economy, where we mine, manufacture, use and throw away, towards a more "circular economy", where one industry's waste becomes another's raw material. Building such a circular economy will be essential to EU industrial competitiveness and resilience in a world of increasing competition for scarce resources. The EIP will play an important role in achieving this transition and will provide valuable lessons on how to boost recycling and re-use of valuable materials for the integrated "resource efficiency & waste policy review package" which the Commission will present in 2014. The EIP will also support the development of practical ways to reduce the impact of mining activities on the environment.
Drawing together EU countries, companies, researchers and NGOs, it ultimately aims to contribute to the objective to increase the share of industry to 20% of the EU's GDP by 2020 as well as the objectives of the flagship initiatives 'Innovation Union' and 'Resource Efficient Europe'.

Furla Candy Bag

Absolutely fabulous! Fun, amazing color, easy to carry, holds a bunch, looks really hip and new! You can't stop looking at this bag and being so excited that it is yours! It holds all the stuff you need, but more than that, is a bright, exciting accessory that adds to any outfit! The red is fabulous and anyone on the fence should run not walk to get this bag. Furla has a big winner with these Candy bags and this is no exception. It is a solid red color and your things will not show through. Some of the other Candy bags are translucent but not this one. My only comment would be wishing the top opening was a teeny bit longer but it's not a deal-breaker, for sure. Although I generally like a longer bag, because of the depth and the height of this bag, it does not feel small or "dinky" and certainly does not have a stuffy, uptight look. Very fun purse!
I'd also recommend: I'm a Furla lover - their bags are pefect!

Giant Barbie Purse...yes! I bought this bag in pink and neon green (please don't make me have to decide which one I like best). I completely love the color, structure, functionality, material, etc. Price? It's so cute I didn't notice the tag. It is cavernous and will easily hold your goodies plus a 16oz bottle of water! This is the bag for little girls and little girls at heart (I'm 41). Fantasy bag of Spring/Summer 2011!

Truly stylish. I love this bag! Okay, I admit it's the shape. I have this shape bag in LV, Gucci, Coach and now Furla! I have the all black one and I love that it has that shiny plastic appearance. My only complaint about this bag is it's a very heavy PVC! It's sturdy enough to carry everything, but I'm not. LOL!

I love the Furla Candy Bag. It is well made, light weight & a Show Stopper. Everyone want to know where I got it. I have two more, one in Mango & one in Passion Fruit. I love the colors! Every Furla bag I own is an investment. I have never had any regrets after purchasing a Furla. Only two complaints with Zappos. The shipping box was not large enough to ship this bag. I had to stuff the bag with a Speedy shaper pillow to get the proper bag shape back. Second complaint Zappos did not include the Furla Candy Bag rubber hang tag. I called Furla and they sent me one free of charge & at lightning speed.
I'd also recommend: Kate Spade, Cole Haan, Louis Vuitton
