text: An astronaut taught Sandra Bullock how to survive in space -- from space Culture 07 October 13 by Angela Watercutter Getting a celebrity's cell phone number is generally understood to not be easy. But Cady Coleman found a way to get Sandra Bullock's. All she had to do was go into space.Back in 2011 the Nasa astronaut was on an expedition on the International Space Station while her brother Chris Coleman was on Earth -- California, specifically -- meeting a man whose sister-in-law happened to be Bullock. The two got to talking about what their family members did and decided they needed to connect Coleman and Bullock, who was about to star in Alfonso Cuarón's lost-in-space flick Gravity."It took a week or so to be able to talk [to her] just because we have an internet-protocol phone on the station that we can use to make calls, but I needed her cell phone number -- you can't call us, we can call you," Coleman told Wired, while not on a space station. "She's probably not so used to giving out that cell phone number so I had to write and say, 'You can give me your number, I won't give it away.'"Eventually Coleman, who has logged more than 4,330 hours in space for Nasa on two space shuttle missions and that stint on the ISS, was able to chat with Bullock -- from space -- and give her advice on everything from how to move in zero gravity to how to deal with the psychological toll of being unable to go home (something Bullock's Ryan Stone struggles with heavily while trying to get back to Earth in Gravity). She also began recording voice memos of things she thought might be helpful for the actress and sending her audio clips of helpful pointers."I'd be going about my work and think, 'Oh Sandra would probably want to know about this,'" Coleman said. "It did kind of make me fly around the space station with new eyes, because I was trying to be Sandra's eyes."It worked. Bullock's performance in Gravity is shattering, and the film -- in Coleman's eyes -- is the most accurate portrayal of her actual experiences in space ever to make it to the big screen (minus the debris collisions). Wired asked Coleman about her talks with Bullock, truth in Hollywood movies, and the importance of female astronauts in movies. Wired: Visually, Gravity feels incredibly life-like. How close is it -- visually -- to what you've experienced as an astronaut?Cady Coleman: Something that's frustrating to me in my job is that I think it's a very special job. It's been a great privilege to go to space and to see the things that I see. Really, just to be up there doing work that you just know is really important in such a special place, and yet you don't really get to bring anybody that you know and love with you. A movie like this is a way for me to bring people to space. I will bring my mother to this. I will make everybody in my family go see this. I don't know what other people who haven't seen space think, but I feel like you get to see the view. I met Cuarón in the last couple weeks and he said, "I can't believe you've been to space!" And I said, "I can't believe you haven't been to space -- since you made that movie."Wired: Was there anything that felt inauthentic?Coleman: I couldn't help but look at some things and go, 'Oh, I don't know if we'd do that.' But that's not the point of the movie. I don't know if when Apollo 13 came out everyone ran around going 'Is that real? Is that real?' because [it wasn't] quite as sensational … But people do ask [about how authentic Gravity is], and partly they're asking because, boy, if it's that real then why would anybody ever go? It's sensational. It's a lot of things that maybe could happen, but for them all to happen on the same day is more than coincidental. But they're all things that we consider at Nasa.Wired: Yeah, space debris is obviously out there and a concern for space travel. How likely is it that astronauts would get pummeled by it the way they are in this movie? Coleman: In Gravity there's the debris storm that we see in the trailers, and the astronauts are knocked free and they're spinning in space. Well, we think about that all the time when we're doing space walks because it's really the worst thing in the world that could happen. So, what do we do at Nasa? We make sure it doesn't happen. It's a really real risk, but we do what we can to mitigate it. I think that's true of some of the other things you see in Gravity -- what makes it scary in the movie is that it is real, but not real to that extent.Wired: What was your brother doing when he met Bullock's brother-in-law?Coleman: My little brother is a wine guy in Sonoma. He's in the innovative wine-packaging business. Specialty-cask sampling is I think how I'm supposed to say it. As his sister I'm not allowed to say that he does really, really high-end wine in a bag, but that's what he does. He met Sandra Bullock's brother-in-law and they got together and figured out what their sisters and sister-in-laws did and got us together. Sandra and I did this interview together recently -- it was specifically for Nasa, to air on a Nasa channel -- and the interviewer said, 'How did you and Cady meet?' And she looks at me and she says, 'Wine.' I had to look at her and go, "We have to start again, because if we don't they can't use it. We can't use an interview that starts with 'wine.'"Wired: So what kind of advice did you give Sandra Bullock when you called her from the ISS?Coleman: My recollection is that we mostly talked about two kinds of things. One was physically how do you move up there? What do you hold on to? Are you fluid, are you angular, are you sort of dragging yourself around? The other was what it felt like to live in a place so far away from everybody that you know on the ground. And how do you deal with that separation and the fact that you can't just go home when you want.Wired: What is that strain like?Coleman: Even the training is hard on your family -- on your family life. It's hard to be away from your kid. [Ed. Note: Coleman has a husband and 13-year-old son.] Yet I feel like I was selected for this job and trained and invested a lot, and I believe in what we do and that it's the right thing for me to be at work when I'm at work and not at home. But I think there's an emotional price that you pay for that compartmentalisation.Wired: Did you enjoy the fact that that lead in this film was a female astronaut?Coleman: I did. I love it when the hero of a film is a woman. And it's a woman who uses her head and thinks out what she knows and when that doesn't work she thinks again and she's very persistent. These are a lot of qualities that I think are very important that are going to be portrayed to a bunch of 13-year-old girls and they're going to think they're normal. They're going to realise that it's normal to be the hero. That it could be them -- the hero could be them.The number of people that ask me if I feel bad about leaving my kid at home is too many to count, right? Sometimes I resent that they don't ask the guys the same question, which is insulting to the guys who also miss their kids. The answer is, "Yes, I feel really bad, but it is also the right thing to do."Wired: Did any of that thinking inform your conversations with Bullock?Coleman: There has to be a little part of her that is thinking when we first talked, "Ok, I'm talking to a woman that's just like left her kid on the planet and went away and didn't think anything of it. What kind of woman can do that?" I think we went from that to realising that I'm the same kind of woman that feels badly about that but it feels like the right thing to do. I think making that human part of living in space … It's about the whole person up there. The very humanness of being up there was very clear for me and I believe that's some of what she got from talking to me. I hope so.This story originally appeared on Wired.com Comments Latest on wired.co.uk

Look closely at claims in recall election
By Steve Henson The Pueblo Chieftain
Published: August 18, 2013; Last modified: May 5, 2015 09:02PM
One of the many valuable lessons that Homer and Ruth Bisel taught us debaters at Roncalli High School decades ago was that there always are two sides to every issue.
If somebody tells you the sky is blue, there is a way, probably many ways, to argue against that point.
Let's apply that thinking to the current recall effort against state Sen. Angela Giron, specifically to some of the claims and arguments being made by the senator, her opponents and the Republican replacement candidate, George Rivera.

Alberto Gonzales' Secret: Viacom, Angelina Jolie, and YouTube
As far as I can ascertain, Alberto Gonzales has no secret related to Viacom, YouTube, or Angeline Jolie adopting a child.
Just as peanut butter has no effect on the rotation of the earth.
Apologies. Nothing to see here, folks, move along. Sorry if you reached this post looking for something else.
Seriously, headlines matter a great deal in RSS feeds (and product feeds too, but that's a different post).
This morning's post on Ubuntu and Vista unexpectedly pulled in twice our typical rate of blog visits.
Clearly that's because more folks care about Vista and Linux than care about the typical topics we blog on here: paid search, online marketing trends, direct marketing, etc. And note the headline ("Tale of Two Operating Systems: Vista and Ubuntu") was rich in high-traffic keywords. I didn't write that post to pump up visitor counts, nor was I seeking link bait. I was honestly sharing my amazement that a four year old computer running Ubuntu was as zippy and usable and full functioned as a brand new Vista box.
But the FeedBurner traffic graph got me thinking, so I figured I'd do an experiment with this post…
I went to Google News and pulled the top headline under the "Entertainment", ""Sci/Tech", and U.S." tabs.
Here's the lead story for each:
- Angelina Jolie adopts another
Melbourne Herald Sun – 11 hours ago
"All she needs to do now is to travel to Hanoi to get the travel paperwork from the US Embassy for the boy," said Nguyen Van Trung, director of the Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City.
- Viacom v. YouTube
Opinion Journal, NJ – 21 hours ago
To hear Viacom tell its tale of financial woe, the media company has been caused horrific damage by Google's YouTube video subsidiary.
- GOP Support for Gonzales Erodes Further
San Francisco Chronicle – 1 hour ago
By LAURIE KELLMAN, AP Writer. Republican support for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales eroded further Thursday amid an intensifying furor over his role in federal prosecutor firings, as new e-mails surfaced indicating that top White House political…
So I took these three hot topics and mashed them into a (meaningless) headline: Alberto Gonzales' Secret: Viacom, Angelina Jolie, and YouTube.
Ok, so this post is the experiment: I want to see what traffic comes in due to the headline. Clearly the visitors will be unqualified, sure. But I am curious to see what a headline mashed up from this evening's hottest stories might do.
I'll share counts in 48 hours.
Now, this is a bogus headline on a bogus topic. But getting the headline right for real content matters a great deal. There are have some interesting posts on writing strong blog headlines recently. Check out Andy Hagans' Ultimate Guide to Linkbaiting and Social Media Marketing, and Brian Clark's series on How To Write Magnetic Headlines. Solid advice.

The Self-Study Process
A primary goal in preparing for our comprehensive self-study was to build an infrastructure that would enhance participation by the campus community, create a positive attitude toward accreditation, and conduct the self-study with the highest integrity. A commitment was made to involve as many faculty, staff, students, and administrators in the process as possible, to ensure that the self-study represented a campus initiative, rather than a small group of individuals charged with writing an institutional report. Creating a positive attitude toward accreditation required an understanding by the campus community of the purpose of accreditation, why it is important to the institution, and how the institution can benefit from engaging in the self-study process. Moving the campus community from a "compliance" mentality regarding accreditation to a belief that the self-study process is an opportunity for institutional reflection and growth was indeed challenging. (See HLC Presentation Paper (2006) in Resource Room)
Hundreds of people in the university community participated in the self-study process that started in fall 2004. Two individuals serving as co-chairs provided overall leadership for the endeavor: Dr. Kate Steffens, Dean of the College of Education, and Dr. Kurt Helgeson, Associate Professor of Environmental and Technological Studies. The Steering Committee, whose 17 members – including faculty, staff, and students – represented many facets of campus life. Another 14 committees plus a committee of committee chairs were responsible for gathering and organizing materials for the self-study. Of the 13 committees, 11 had responsibility for topical areas indicated by their names: Mission and Integrity, Governance and Administrative Structure, Planning, Budget, Assessment, Teaching Effectiveness, General Education, Program Review, Research, Ethical Conduct, and Engagement and Service. Three other committees had support functions: Web/Resource Room, Communications, Writing/Reading. Membership of the committees generally consisted of 10-15 individuals with some overlap.
During summer 2005 the committee chairs participated in three retreats to a build a strong foundation for the self-study. The chairs developed questions that addressed core components that would be the basis of the committees' work during the coming academic year.
Committees began their work in September 2005 and met regularly through May 2006 to accumulate evidence pertaining to the various criteria for accreditation. To increase participation of the campus community during 2005-2006, the co-chairs of the self-study sponsored four campus gatherings - two breakfasts and two lunches - to discuss key issues around four themes: The Future-Oriented Organization, the Learner-Focused Organization, the Connected Organization, and the Distinctive Organization. Participation was strong with approximately 60 faculty and staff coming together to discuss the various HLC themes. The gatherings served as a positive way to bring the campus together to discuss the university's performance in different areas. The co-chairs also convened two focus groups, one for undergraduate students and one for graduate students, during spring semester 2006.
In March and April 2006, the committees began posting their work on a website for review and comment by the entire university community. Comments in response to the posted evidence became part of material available for the self-study. Writing of the self-study report began in late spring 2006. After the first draft of the self-study was completed, a draft was posted on the website to allow the campus community to make comments and provide important feedback. A final draft of the self-study report was completed in January 2007.

Nicholas Caves, 25, and Tabitha Gallagher, 24, both transients, were arrested on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, after investigators recovered evidence allegedly connecting them to the rash of residential and garage burglaries in which power tools, computers and sound equipment were stolen, said Burbank Police Sgt.

A large amount of property was reportedly recovered from several locations in the city after their arrests, with investigators having identified 15 victims, Ryburn said.
Caves, who pleaded not guilty Wednesday to the residential burglary charges, is being held without bail, Ryburn said.
Gallagher was arrested on suspicion of residential burglary and possession of stolen property and is due in court Thursday, he added.

New Stuff – Tag Colors, ETA to Done, Search Improvements
Well this took longer than anticipated. The update should apply itself automatically with a browser refresh.
What's New?
- Assign colors to your tags. This makes for nice, quick visual cues when scanning lists of actions. Assign colors to existing tags by right-clicking on them, either in the main window, the context bar, or when manging tags via the tag library dialog.
- Find out how much time you need to complete a series of actions. Assuming you've assigned estimated Time (effort) required to complete your actions, you can now multi-select + right-click and look in the popup menu to see a quick tally of the time necessary to get to done
- Search Improvements – searching on multiple words (that don't appear next to each other) will return results as expected. Note, we've removed Logbook results to help speed things up. If you really need to find something in your Logbook, start your search with "in:logbook" followed by whatever search terms you desire. example – "in:logbook adam work" → et voila.
What else?
- Long-running action/project names no longer bleed into UI elements from the right-side. This glitch used to manifest itself mainly for people with smaller screens, but hey, we have nothing against small screens.
- Creating a new action in Focus / grouped by state / while filtered for Due items now works as intended. Used to be that pressing hotkey N wouldn't display the "New Action" UI properly. Now it does.
- As a first step towards overhauling our login towards a unified system, some login URLs have changed. But as we've placed redirects in all of the appropriate places, any existing bookmarks should continue to work fine.
Under the hood
This release is built on jQuery 2. It's been many many months in the making (porting) and includes significant code refactoring for better performance across all browsers.

Happy :)
Thank you.
I love the tag colors, that has already come in really handy. Thanks for the nice detailed blog post as well!
Love seeing the improvements – keep them coming!
Thanks for this great update!
I already can't imagine Nirvana without the tag colors. They are very useful to my workflow!
I hope these updates and ones like this one begin showing up more often. Thanks!
Nice work!
I am most excited to simply have an update, but the features themselves are great. Thank you!!!
Many thanks! Great updates – so far I have elaborated with the colors that really helps to give a clearer overall view. It is very nice to see some movement from you again :-)
Really appreciate the text wrapping thing! I'm sure I'll come to appreciate the color tags and other improvements, but the wrapped text thing is a huge thing for me right away! I like to use long project names that are action oriented, and the same with my tasks. So I frequently have (correction – had!) this problem with the text for these two overwriting each other.

This week, Arts In Context Shorts presents the art of thinking fast. Founded as a platform for hip-hop artists, the Austin Mic Exchange works tirelessly to create a community of aspiring and independent emcees. Their weekly open mic nights are a haven for artists seeking stage time, a forum for the city's best emcees to connect with their peers, and an invaluable opportunity to hone their craft. Freestylers electrify the crowd as they perform their highwire act – improvising frenetically and letting the flow take over them. Part showcase, part community event, and all love, these open mics cultivate the small but fiercely active hip-hop community in Austin.

Arts In Context Shorts introduces us to a group working to change lives. Teaching students to embrace their own cultures, Roots & Rhythms is an after-school drumming program founded in 2008 by Sevylla del Mazo. With drums created from recycled buckets, the bilingual students of Roots & Rhythms collaborate, create, and have some fun while learning the basics of percussion. Thanks to a grant from the City of Austin's Economic Growth & Redevelopment Services Office/Cultural Arts Division, this program continues to foster ties in surrounding communities and inspires hope for local children.

Arts In Context Premiere Party 10/28
Arts In Context is celebrating its fifth season, and we're throwing a party! The premiere episode, Rebirth, features Austin's experimental indie folk band Les RAV. Please join us for a screening followed by a Q&A with director Mario Troncoso and a special live performance by Les RAV. Enjoy beverages from Live Oak and sweet & savory treats from Cornucopia Popcorn Creations, too!
DATE: Tuesday, October 28th
TIME: 7 pm event starts (doors open at 6:30pm)
LOCATION: KLRU Studio 6A (map)
RSVP: The event is free, but an RSVP is required to attend. RSVP HERE
About the Episode: Rebirth
Born out of intense personal hardship, Les RAV – the classically-influenced experimental indie folk band – is the musical brainchild of Lauren Bruno, an ethereal, infinitely positive songwriter. Beyond the music, Bruno uses Les RAV to spread and foster a message of peace, connection, and understanding to anyone who will listen. Though diagnosed with ulcerative colitis early on in life, Bruno uses this often debilitating disease as motivation to spread her message of hope with even more fervor and intensity. Her haunting vocals and melodies reel listeners in but it's her overwhelming sense of hopefulness and goodness that keeps them in.

Arts In Context event 3/11
Arts in Context will present a special screening of the director's cut of the episode Not Alone, a documentary about musician Shakey Graves. Following the screening Shakey Graves will perform live in the studio.
Date: Tuesday, March 11
Time: 7pm | Doors at 6:30pm
Location: KLRU's Studio 6A (map)
RSVP: The event is free, but an RSVP is required. RSVP Here
RSVP does not guarantee entrance.
Shakey Graves turns his one-man band into a do-it-yourself success story. Through nothing but word-of-mouth, Alejandro Rose-Garcia, a.k.a. Shakey Graves, has gone from obscurity to the national spotlight. His gravelly-voiced, impassioned, blues performances are the stuff of legend. "Shakey Graves is becoming an anti-folk phenomenon even in a city weary of 'next big things.' Unclassifiable original. And frighteningly good," says NPR Music.
Special thanks to the evening's sponsor Live Oak Brewing Co.
KLRU films chosen for City's Faces of Austin project
The City of Austin has chosen two KLRU short films— Arts In Context Shorts Pour Your Heart Out and Austin Revealed Civil Rights Stories — to be featured in the annual Faces of Austin short film project.
The City of Austin will premiere its Faces of Austin short film selections for 2014 as part of the SXSW Film Community Screenings on Saturday, March 8 at 11:00 a.m. at the Marchesa Hall and Theatre, 6226 Middle Fiskville Rd. The 2014 Faces of Austin premiere is free, open to the public, and does not require a SXSW film badge or pass.
The 12 films chosen this year were all made by local filmmakers and highlight the people, institutions, and cultures that make up Austin. Several films feature local non-profit organizations, such as Goodwill of Central Texas and the Austin Bike Zoo. Other films focus on unique individuals within the community, including a Hurricane Katrina survivor who now calls Austin home and pioneers of the local civil rights movement.
The entire list of 2014 films can be viewed at www.austintexas.gov/
Faces of Austin is intended to showcase the work of Austin filmmakers that reflects the diverse faces, voices, and experiences that make up Austin's unique identity. Individual films from the 2014 collection will be viewable on ATXN, online, and at special screenings.
Faces of Austin is a program of the Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin's Economic Development Department and ATXN, the City's government access channel.

Arts In Context Shorts: Pour Your Heart Out
Arts In Context Shorts debuts with a unique local art experience in Pour Your Heart Out.
Painting with a palette of unconventional mediums, once a month baristas and coffee nerds transform our early-morning beverages into temporary pieces of art at TNT ATX, a head-to-head latte art throwdown. These latte artists travel from across Texas for coffee, competition, camaraderie and community. With skilled craftsmanship and a touch of chemistry, these latte artists continue to pour their heart out.
Arts In Context: Intergalactic Nemesis 4/25
"The year is 1933. Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Molly Sloan and her intrepid research assistant Timmy Mendez team up with a mysterious librarian from Flagstaff, Arizona, named Ben Wilcott. Together, they travel from Rumania to Scotland to the Alps to Tunis to the Robot Planet and finally to Imperial Zygon to defeat a terrible threat to the very future of humanity: an invading force of sludge-monsters from outer space known as the Zygonians."
This month's episode of Arts In Context will take us inside the unique production of the Live-Action Graphic Novel that is the Intergalactic Nemesis. Projecting the artwork from the original comic-book story panel-by-panel, while three actors voiced the characters, one performer created sound-effects, and a keyboardist performed the score, The Intergalactic Nemesis, Book One: Target Earth was an instant sensation when it debuted in the Long Center in 2010. Since then it has been featured on NPR's "All Things Considered," "Conan," and is now on a world tour.
Arts In Context has been closely following the Intergalactic Nemesis crew behind the scenes of their rising production of Book One: Target Earth for the past few months. Full of striking images and interviews, this episode captures the creative process of the Intergalactic crew. But on this episode Arts In Context is trying something new. The crew is collaborating with documentary filmmaker Anton Curley, using footage from his upcoming film, Nemesis Rising. Nemesis Rising is a feature length film on the Intergalactic Nemesis that follows the crew through their history, their first national tour, and into their future from Volume 2 and beyond. In combination with the documentary that Arts In Context has been working on, this episode will tell the story of the the Intergalactic Nemesis crew from their small beginnings to their debut in Broadway earlier in April. This collaboration will make for a unique episode of Arts in Context that cannot be missed.
Make sure to tune in on Thursday, April 25th at 7:30 pm to take an intimate behind the scenes look at the Live-Action Graphic Novel on Arts in Context: Intergalactic Nemesis.
To see if the Intergalactic Nemsis is coming to you check out on their tour schedule.
Arts In Context features film by Chithra Jeyaram
Chithra Jeyaram's award winning short documentary titled Mijo (My Son) will be featured in an episode of Arts In Context airing on February 28th. The episode, Hold My Hand, follows Sharon Marroquin, an Award-winning dancer and choreographer whose life drastically changed when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. In this episode of Arts In Context, Marroquín explores the relation between the choreographer and the dancer as she uses her art as an expression of her personal struggle.
Jeyaram's film will be featured after the documentary on Marroquin. Mijo (My Son) is an immensely personal documentary about the relationship between a young mother who is a professional dancer and her 6-year old son, as she undergoes treatment for breast cancer.

Simon, Claiborne and Thomas were all named first team selections to the league's defensive team, and defensive end JeMarcus Marshall, defensive back Adam Jones and punt returner Ed Eagan were voted second team. Offensive lineman Austin Douglas and all-purpose back Daniel Taylor were picked on the offense's second team.
Simon (6-4, 315) is a senior native of Baton Rouge (Glen Oaks HS), and has 67 career tackles and 6.5 career sacks as a Demon. The three-year letterman started all 12 games in 2013, and recorded 42 tackles with seven for loss.
Claiborne is a 5-11, 187 senior from Alexandria (Alexandria Senior HS). He was added to the 2014 College Football Performance Awards Watch List as one of the top 38 defensive backs at the Division I FCS level in June.
He was not thrown at often last season, but made 37 tackles, snagged two interceptions and broke up four passes. He ran back one pickoff 48 yards for a touchdown to get the Demons on the scoreboard early in a season-ending 40-27 win over rival Stephen F. Austin.

We've come a long way since Sputnik 1, the first man-made satellite, was launched by the Soviets in 1957. There are now hundreds of satellites orbiting above our heads, making our mobile phones, traffic signals, TVs, internet and loads of other communications, actually work.
Along with the working satellites, there are the dead ones, the fragments of broken ones, the rocket parts from past missions, and myriad other chunks of junk orbiting at breakneck speeds, looking for something to collide with. And when they do, working satellites are destroyed, the Space Station could be damaged , the astronauts' lives put at risk, and a whole new cascade of junk fragments go careening off in all directions. Sound serious? Quite!
BUT! The Swiss with their great efficiency and tidy ways, have been pondering this massive problem. They are developing CleanSpace One, a little 'janitor' satellite to deal with space junk by capturing it and dragging it back into the atmosphere to burn up.
This comes not a moment too soon, as space agencies now really have to consider how to de-orbit the satellites they launch, if they don't want to make the junk problem worse and end up being cut off from space.
So who is responsible for the junk up in space? Is it you and me, as users of the services they provide, or the companies that launch them? Would you pay extra on your mobile phone bill to help clean up space?
Explore space junk and other big issues in Futurecade, our brand new digital game… If you're a teacher, try it as a starter for a classroom discussion, and use the in-game questions to get your students talking about how science impacts on their lives.
Good luck

Political Speech Triumphs in McCutcheon Decision
April 02, 2014
James R. Copland
Chalk up one more win for the First Amendment. In McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, decided on Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional federal limits on the aggregate amount of money individuals can contribute during a two-year election cycle.
As such, the courtalbeit by a divided 5-to-4 majoritytook one more step toward getting Congress out of the business of limiting spending on its own elections.
The court remains deeply divided over the regulation of campaign spending and the First Amendment. The Democratic appointees view campaign finance laws as "good government" measures limiting corruption, while the Republican appointees view political speechwhich necessarily includes spending money on politicsas perhaps the most central value the First Amendment is designed to protect.
In general, I think the majority has the better argument. No, money is not speech. But no sitting Supreme Court justice rests on that principle, and for good reason. As leading First Amendment scholar Eugene Volokh and others have observed, the right to counsel wouldn't mean much if Congress could prevent you from spending your own money on your legal defense, and no supporter of a constitutional right to abortion thinks it would be fine and dandy for Congress to prevent people from paying for an abortion procedure.
To be sure, government corruption is definitely something to worry aboutand it always will be. In recent weeks, Charlotte, N.C., mayor Patrick Cannon and California state Senator Leland Yee were separately arrested after federal investigators caught each of them taking bribes in exchange for political favors.
But free elections mean little without free speechwhich means money to communicate to the publicand politicians are experts at writing rules that function to entrench themselves. In the post-Watergate campaign law stricken down in part by the Supreme Court in its 1976 campaign-finance decision Buckley v. Valeo, Congress set maximum "campaign expenditure limits" just below the lowest level spent by a successful challenger in the prior election.
The real-world effects of McCutcheon's majority holding will be rather limited. On the margins, parties will be able to raise more money directly from well-heeled individuals. Such individuals will get greater "access" to the politicians they support.
But so do newspaper editorialists, interest groups like the NRA and NAACP, celebrities like Oprah and Jay-Z, those who "bundle" contributors by opening up their Rolodexes, and those who spend money on politics independently as permitted under Citizens United. It's hard to see how the ruling will generate an appreciably greater potential for public corruption.
More broadly, the main reason politicians have to spend so much time on fundraising today is the campaign finance laws themselves. Under existing law, candidates cannot raise funds from a small, wealthy group of donors (unless, like Steve Forbes or Michael Bloomberg, they're wealthy enough to finance their own campaigns)so they have to spend all their time going hat in hand. In a future case, the court should consider Justice Clarence Thomas's position in McCutcheon, which would reverse Buckley's holding permitting individual-contribution limits. For now, this small step for the First Amendment will do.

Past Initiatives and Collaborations
The Institute provides essential leadership for advancing the practice of patient- and family-centered care. By promoting collaborative, empowering partnerships among patients, families, and health care professionals, the Institute facilitates patient- and family-centered change in all health care settings. The Institute also serves as a central resource for policy makers, administrators, program planners, clinicians and staff, educators of health professionals, design professionals, and patient and family advisors and leaders.
In addition to working with individual health care systems, hospitals, and primary care practices, the Institute works on collaborative endeavors with many organizations and agencies. Here is a sampling of initiatives from the Institute's last decade:
The Institute staff served as faculty to the NIC/Q 2009 Quality Improvement Collaborative of the Vermont Oxford Network (VON), which ran through December 2010. VON is an international organization committed to improving quality and safety in medical care for newborn infants and their families through education, research, and quality improvement. There were multidisciplinary teams—including parents—from 53 hospitals and several state-wide organizations working with faculty to fulfill the Collaborative's vision: "To be an inclusive Community of Practice that supports the pursuit of shared goals for improvement and the provision of exemplary care for all newborn infants and their families." Family involvement in quality improvement is an integral part of VON initiatives: VON had a family member on its Advisory Board, a family member served on the core faculty team, and families were active participants on the majority of improvement teams.
Bev Johnson and Cezanne Garcia served as faculty for Team Up for Health, a California HealthCare Foundation initiative to develop partnerships with patients and families to advance the practice of self-management support (SMS) in six clinics throughout California, particularly those in underserved communities. Patients, families, staff, and physicians collaborated to improve educational resources to support active patient and family involvement in SMS, expand the use of information technology and social marketing, create linkages with community resources, and re-design clinic processes and workflow.
Patient- and family-centered care is a strategic priority for military medicine in the United States Armed Forces. Between 2003-2009, the Institute provided training and technical assistance for advancing patient- and family-centered care and facilitating the development of partnerships with patients and families in selected military hospitals and clinics worldwide, working on-site in more than 23 military treatment facilities (MTFs) in Europe and across the United States. In 2009, the Institute worked with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, providing training and technical assistance to nine medical centers and their affiliated clinics in VISN 7—which serves South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama—to advance the practice of patient- and family-centered care.
In 2008, with funding support from the California HealthCare Foundation, the Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered Care published Partnering with Patients and Families to Design a Patient- and Family-Centered Health Care System: Recommendations and Promising Practices. This publication builds upon the deliberations and key recommendations that emerged from the 2006 meeting convened by the Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered Care in collaboration with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Examples of best practices drawn from hospitals, ambulatory programs, medical and nursing schools, funders of health care, patient- and family-led organizations, and other health care entities are highlighted. These featured organizations are making exemplary progress in partnering with patients and families to enhance quality and safety, and to improve the experience of care.
The Institute's President and CEO, Bev Johnson, participated in the 2008 American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Foundation Forum From Rhetoric to Reality: Achieving Patient-Centered Care. The ABIM hosts an annual invitation-only meeting for health care leaders and key stakeholders to address an important, cross-cutting topic of shared concern. Unique to the 2008 meeting, the ABIM also invited a group of patients and caregivers to share their stories.
Also in 2008, the ABIM convened a task force to assess teamwork-identified by the ABIM as one of the most critical competencies in internal medicine. The Institute's Director of Special Projects, Julie Moretz, participated in the 10-member working group comprised of both physicians and non-physicians. During the two-day meeting, the working group aimed to understand and assess competency in teamwork in internal medicine.
In 2008, Bev Johnson served on the Planning Committee, and as a presenter, for the California HealthCare Foundation statewide meeting, Chronic Disease Care: Better Ideas in Action. The three-day meeting drew a large attendance and included doctors, nurses, other health care providers, and patient leaders/advisors. A special focus of the meeting was to hear from patients who shared information about managing chronic diseases and specific strategies for better care.
Bev Johnson co-chaired the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's 9th Annual International Clinical Office Practice Summit in 2008.
Bev Johnson also served as faculty for the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's national collaborative on Taking Action to Transform Care at the Bedside (TCAB) from 2005-2008.
In 2006, the Institute published Partnering with Patients and Families... A Roadmap for the Future. With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered Care collaborated with the Institute for HealthCare Improvement to convene an invitational leadership panel of patients, families, and health care providers to respond to this briefing paper on patient and family partnerships in quality improvement and health care redesign.
The Institute was a national partner for Remaking American Medicine, a four-part primetime television series broadcast on PBS in October and November 2006. The series told stories of change, focusing on the breathtaking advances being made in improving the quality of patient care and featured compelling profiles of providers and patients who are working together to change fundamentally the way health care is delivered in this country. The goal of Remaking American Medicine was to inspire and empower viewers, both members of the general public and health care professionals, to join in efforts to transform American health care.
In 2006, the Consensus Committee on Recommended Standards for Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Design-on which Bev Johnson serves—-issued recommended standards for NICU structure, lighting, noise and infection control, family support and other design considerations, along with supporting interpretations, references, and a glossary of terms.
With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the California HealthCare Foundation, the Institute expanded the programming on hospital design and facility design planning at its February 2005 International Conference in San Francisco. The Institute added additional hospital design content to its website and, in September 2005, published a special issue of Advances focused on hospital design.
Institute staff members served on a leadership faculty team with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), Rush Medical College and John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County, White Mountain Research Associates, and the MacColl Institute for a three-year project funded in 2005 by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The purpose of the Quality Allies project was to create a Collaborative Self-Management Support Learning Network aimed at improving chronic illness care. Patient and family leaders served on the National Advisory Council and on the core faculty team. Twenty teams participated in the collaborative and each team included patients and families as active members. This initiative was re-named New Health Partnerships: Improving Care by Engaging Patients.
An additional project followed this initiative to create and support a virtual learning collaborative and a virtual community. Nine teams participated in the virtual learning collaborative. The virtual community, New Health Partnerships, is an on-line community, the goals of which include supporting a patient- and family-centered approach to chronic illness care; building community-wide support, and offering resources and tools, to promote effective collaboration among patients, families, and health care practitioners for self-management; using up-to-date technologies to assist in improving chronic care; and providing tools and examples to evaluate the business case for collaborative self-management support. Made possible with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in partnership with the Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered Care, the Institute for Healthcare Communication, and the MacColl Institute for Healthcare Innovation developed this virtual community, which now resides within IHI's website.
From 1998 through 2005, Institute staff served as faculty and consultants for three quality improvement projects for the Vermont Oxford Network (VON). VON is an international organization committed to improving quality and safety in medical care for newborn infants and their families through education, research, and quality improvement. Family-centered care was a specific area of focus for the second and third collaboratives. Families participated as consultants, faculty, advisory board members, and as members of improvement teams. Integration of family-centered care continues in VON's current efforts. In addition, the Institute served as faculty for VON's iNIC/Q program—a web-based teleconference series designed to extend the learning opportunities to hospitals that were not part of the quality improvement collaboratives. More than sixty hospitals participated in iNIC/Q. Three published supplements of Pediatrics describe the work.
The Institute participated in the revision of the criteria for the American Hospital Association-McKesson Quest for Quality Prize and the Institute's Chief Executive Officer serves on the selection committee for this prestigious award. The revised award criteria now recognize the importance of the experience of care and partnership, and demonstrate the importance of linking hospital leadership agendas for safety, quality, and patient- and family-centered care..
The American Hospital Association (AHA) and the Institute produced the Strategies for Leadership: Patient- and Family-Centered Toolkit distributed to the CEO of every U.S. hospital in 2004. The toolkit contains a video and companion discussion guide, a resource guide, and a self-assessment tool for hospitals. The entire toolkit can be downloaded from the AHA website.
In 2004, the Institute collaborated with the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Center at the University of Massachusetts Medical School to develop and teach a federally funded, on-line course on family-centered care for health care professionals and family leaders interested in public health agencies. The Institute developed the curriculum, lectures, accompanying resources, and interactive exercises and served as faculty for this six-week course.
In 2003, the American Hospital Association (AHA) invited the Institute to collaborate in support of the implementation of the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) 2001 report: Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century. The Institute provided technical assistance to hospital leaders in AHA state associations. Institute staff authored a series of articles on patient- and family-centered care in AHA News, the organization's biweekly newsletter that focused on the IOM's six aims for change in health care.
In 2003, the Society of Pediatric Nurses (SPN) and the American Nurses Association (ANA) published Family-Centered Care: Putting It into Action, the SPN/ANA Guide to Family-Centered Care. This publication provided an extensive review of the literature and offers nurses practice recommendations for a family-centered approach to care, which SPN defines as "the standard of care for pediatric nursing." The Institute reviewed this publication, had the opportunity to shape some of its focus, and wrote the preface. The Institute's hospital self-assessment inventory is included in the appendix.
In 2002, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Committee on Hospital Care invited the Institute to collaborate in the development of a policy statement on family-centered care. The AAP's Board of Trustees and all of AAP's committees and liaisons approved the policy statement, "Family-Centered Care and the Pediatrician's Role," and the AAP published the policy statement in the September 2003 issue of Pediatrics. The Institute and the AAP continue to collaborate to update this policy including the most recent 2010 review.

Zoey 101: Top Five Reasons Zoey and Chase Belong TogetherPosted on 04/04/2014 by TeenNickBlogger
Who didn't ship Zoey Brooks and Chase Matthews? Sure, it took Zoey a little longer to realize just how much she liked the lovable klutz, but everyone knew these two were meant for each other from the start. And lest you've forgotten why Zoey and Chase are two birds of a feather, here are the top five reasons why they totally, completely, obviously belong together.
It's Zoey's first day and Pacific Coast Academy, and who's the first person she meets? Mr. Matthews, of course! Chase runs into a pole when he sees Zoey for the first time, and all it took was one (unfortunately injury-inducing) glance for him to never look back. Yep, it was love at first crash.
Chase's new girlfriend isn't cool with him being friends with Zoey, but turns out Chase isn't cool with not being friends with Zoey. So, he dumps his lady-friend and proves that Zoey was always his #1 girl.
When Chase sleeps through an important dance contest, he feels terrible. After practicing for 24 straight hours to enter the competition with Zoey, he realized that when you snooze, you quite literally lose. But because they're obviously soul mates, we find out that Zoey isn't mad at him—in fact, she tells him he's the best! It pays to have a heart of gold (and boom-box readily available for a dance break).
While Zoey's away at Oxford, Chase gets mad when Logan messes with a stuffed giraffe that Zoey gave to him.
We all know Logan was kind of a jerk sometimes, but after they duke it out, Logan actually gets Chase to admit his true feelings for Zoey. Chase says has been in love with Zoey since the day he met her, and thanks to a webcam malfunction, Zoey finally hears it from across the world.
Chase surprises Zoey by returning to PCA right before prom, and in a scene that's reminiscent of the time the two first met, they finally, well…you know!
What are some of your favorite Zoey <3 Chase moments? Let us know in the comments!

Buzz foraging mechanism of bumble bees
Marcus J King
The buzz foraging vibrations of Bombus terrestris and B. hortorum workers, measured by an accelerometer attached to the flower stem, reached relatively high acceleration magnitudes of 212 m/s2 at frequencies of 374Hz. B. hortorum workers were more effective than B. terrestris workers at vibrating the anthers of Symphytum officinale (comfrey) because they inserted their heads into the corolla for nectar. The escape buzz produced by B. Terrestris during capture was similar to that produced during pollen foraging on Actinidia deliciosa (kiwifruit) and required 0.3 W to generate. Both species of bumble bees created the high magnitude vibrations by triggering resonance frequency vibrations in their ventral and dorsal plates (sternites and tergites). This caused amplification of a random vibration input, at the resonance frequency, by a factor of 2.3. B. terrestris workers that had not previously foraged on kiwifruit flowers showed buzz foraging, indicating that it was either an innate foraging technique, or that floral cues exist which stimulate buzzing.
