One of Nature's Simplest Light Sources Illuminates One of Cancer's Darkest Corners
Much progress has been made in the treatment of localized prostate cancer, and survival rates continue to rise. But for those patients facing metastatic prostate disease, no curative therapy exists. Moreover, remarkably little is known about how and why prostate cancer metastasizes, or travels, to other parts of the body. But at the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center, numerous research initiatives are underway to learn more about prostate cancer metastasis.
In the lab of Kenneth Pienta, M.D., professor of internal medicine and urology, a remarkable product of nature is being used to track the movement of rogue cancer cells through the body. Through a process called non-invasive bioluminescent imaging (BLI), Pienta has harnessed the light of the common firefly and formulated a kind of beacon to follow cancer metastases in laboratory mice.
"The concept is useful now to help us better understand the movement of cancer through the body, and for the development of future targeted therapies for metastatic disease," explains Pienta, who is also co-director of the Urologic/Prostate Oncology Research Program at the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center. "A firefly's glow is made up of two parts: an enzyme called luciferase, and a chemical called luciferin. In our lab, we put the gene that makes luciferase into cells from human prostate cancer tumors and inject them into lab mice.They then travel through the mouse's body as they would in a human during metastasis." Pienta's goal is to study where they go, where they stop, and how they form new tumors. The BLI process involves injecting the luciferin into the mouse. Luciferase then interacts with luciferin, causing the cells to "light up" for viewing with a special camera (see image above).
"It's a very precise process," says Linda Kalikin, Ph.D, a researchinvestigator working with Pienta. "We can perform analyses down to the exact number of cells present and their exact location." One example of how BLI technology is being applied is in the study of bone metastases - an area of specific interest to Pienta. Nearly every case of metastatic prostate cancer involves the spread of the disease to the bone. Using BLI, Pienta's lab has shown that cancerous cells have a tendency to gravitate toward specific places in the skeletal system - notably areas where bone is replacing itself more rapidly than normal."So sites recovering from fractures or areas where osteoporosis is setting in may be targets for metastasis," explains Pienta.
"This finding has important clinical implications."
Another area where the firefly is "illuminating" Pienta's work is in the evaluation of new therapies. "As treatments become more targeted and we focus on seeking out and destroying specific cells, tools like BLI will have tremendous translational value," Pienta says. "When testing therapeutic alternatives with BLI, we can calculate how many cancer cells are killed by a given therapy at a given dose. With so much accuracy, we can evaluate ideas and move solutions from the lab to the clinic much faster."

The stock market is closing sharply higher as Washington moves closer to avoiding a default on the U.S. government's debt.
The market had its best day since January 2.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 36 points to close at 1,692 Thursday. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 323 points to end at 15,126. The Nasdaq composite rose 82 points to 3,760.
House Republicans said they would advance legislation to temporarily extend the government's borrowing authority so it can continue to pay its bills on time. The prospect of an unprecedented default on the U.S. government's debt and a partial shutdown of the government have been dragging the stock market lower for three weeks.

Plone Hotfix CVE-2008-0164 (May 13, 2008)
This update protects security sensitive forms in Plone from cross site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. The hotfix only applies to Plone 3.0.x — Plone 3.1.x or later have this built-in, and do not need this hotfix installed. If you have older releases that you can't upgrade, please read about available workarounds.
For additional information about this project, please visit the overview page .

Release Notes
|Tested with
|Plone 3
|Final release
|Release Manager
|Andreas Zeidler
This update protects security sensitive forms in Plone from cross site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
Adrian Pastor from security firm ProCheckUp Ltd reported that Plone is vulnerable to the cross site request forgery class of attacks. CSRF attacks work against people with a valid session on a Plone site: an attacker can — by tricking them (or their browser) to make an HTTP request to the site — use their active session and change security sensitive settings such as the users email address.
A framework to protect Plone against CSRF attacks has been developed in the form of PLIP 224 for Plone 3.1 and is available for Plone 3.0 via Plone Hotfix CVE-2008-0164. For older versions of Plone (i.e. the 2.x and 1.0 series), please upgrade. If you are unable to upgrade, see the Temporary Workaround section below.
This issue has been assigned CVE-2008-0164.
Affected versions
All Plone releases are affected.
Plone 3.1 and later includes a fix for this issue, and does not need this hotfix.
Installing the hotfix
If you are using Plone 3.0.x you can download and install Plone Hotfix CVE-2008-0164. The hotfix can be installed as a normal Plone product:
- Verify the md5 hash of the hotfix package — it should be "c81bd88cbf555ccfba8fc695173bf505"
- Extract it in the Products directory of your Zope instance
- Restart Zope
- Go to the 'Add-on Products' panel in the Plone Site Setup
- Install the hotfix product
Uninstalling the hotfix
- Remove 'PloneHotfixCVE20080164' from the Products directory of your Plone instance
- Restart Zope
Temporary workaround
If you can't upgrade your sites to the latest version of Plone yet, there are some simple steps you can take to make sure you are not affected by this vulnerability.
The most important thing to understand is that this vulnerability is not remotely exploitable — i.e. it requires you to take a particular action, and a targeted attack for you to be exposed. Thus, you can make sure you are not affected by this quite easily:
Only log in as the administrator user when you really need to,
and log out when you are done. Do not visit untrusted web sites
(especially in other tabs of the same browser) while you are logged in
to your Plone site as an administrator. Try to limit browsing of
untrusted sites even when you are logged in as a normal user.
As long as you do not visit other sites while operating your Plone site, this vulnerability cannot affect you. Plone has built-in protection against this since version 2.1 for the Plone site itself, so you only need to worry about visiting non-Plone sites that do not filter out malicious HTML. (But double check that you haven't manually turned off HTML filtering in your site to allow risky HTML like forms and Javascript).
If your habit is to browse your site logged in as an administrator, we encourage you to create a normal user for this instead, and only use the admin account when you really need to.
The real fix is of course to upgrade Plone to the latest release as soon as possible.
For developers
- Wikipedia has an article explaining how CSRF works.
- Since this type of attack is on the rise in web applications in general, Plone now includes protection for it in its core.
- See the
plone.keyringmodules for making use of this in your own applications.
Reported incidents
No incidents of this vulnerability being exploited have been reported.

With grilling season officially in full swing, nothing adds more traditional comfort and flavor excitement to our foods than barbecue sauces! When it comes to brushing up on all the regional varieties from around the country, including our very own, before we head out to the grill and slather away, we ought to know how to handle them.
First, barbecue sauces are usually tomato based or have sugar, molasses or corn syrup.
Those kind should go on during the last part of our cooking because the natural sugars will caramelize, and burn and blacken easily.
An example? Take ribs. Whether we parboil or bake them, or cook 'em totally on the grill, to finish them off, we can slather on our tomato-based sauce, give it 5 to 6 more minutes on the grill and our food will be cooked to perfection, with no burning! That is how most of the restaurants do it.
And you know, there are no rules. We can mix and match flavors and turn up the heat by adding our favorite hot sauce. Some barbecue sauces even have a hot version, but is it ever fun to experiment and experience different types of sauces! In fact, if you'd like to whip up your very own homemade barbecue sauce, I've got some of my easy favorites that'll give you a smorgasbord of choices.
Just send a self-addressed, stamped envelope, marked "Barbecue Sauces," to me, Mr.
Food, right here at the station, or look for it online for being a barbecue sauce expert! And they won't be able to buy your very own in a store.
It's yours alone! And now that we're all fired up, let's head out to the grill for some "OOH IT'S SO GOOD!!®"

Most audited urban water supply and sanitation authorities (UWSSAs) lack essential facilities like water meters, according to Controller and Auditor General (CAG) Ludovick Utoh.
This was discovered by the Performance and Forensic Audit (for the period ending 31 March, 2012) in Dodoma last week.
For three consecutive years covered in the audits, there were no significant improvements in the reduction of non-revenue water (NRW). "All UWSSAs have set the target of NRW below the Ministry of Water's standards of 20 per cent," he said.
Utouh noted that the government had delivered a broad range of water and sanitation services, which had affected the well-being of Tanzanians across the country.
He said the Ministry of Water, the Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (Ewura) and the UWSSAs were responsible for the loss of water due to the fact that they were charged with delivering quality water services to the people they served.
"We examined the performance of the Ministry Water, Ewura and UWSSAs in controlling water losses and discovered that UWSSAs have not conducted proactive inspection on the performance of their entire water distribution networks," said Utouh.
He said water supply in the country is beset with many problems, including low coverage, low services level ad intermittent water supply. The CAG said there had been frequent pipeline bursts and leakages which also affect the quantity of the water supplied.
Utouh said during the fiscal year 2008/09, total losses for all the UWSSAs were more than 44 per cent. "This means that almost half of the water produced was lost before reaching the customer or not billed," said the CAG.
However, he said that they have also established that water leakages that occurred after working hours, during week ends and public holidays were not recorded. "The leak response time has not been recorded and in most incidences, it took more than 24 hours to repair the reported leaks," he noted.
The report said although half of the audited UWSSAs had established toll free telephone lines to receive calls from customers on leaks, not all the lines had been working regularly.
CAG said most of the audited UWSSAs lacked adequate water measuring facilities like bulk meters and customer meters. "Thus they failed to know exactly where, how, and why water was lost and this made the computation and management of non-revenue water difficult," noted Utouh.
The CAG said in the audit, three out of the eight UWSSAs were found to have low customer metering efficiency-less than 100 per cent metering. "This means, the amount of water billed to customers was based on estimates which are subject to errors and eventually commercial losses," noted.
He blamed the UWSSAs for not implementing recommendations given to them by the Ewura regarding the reduction of NRW. CAG also said Ewura had not been making frequent visit follow ups to assess the extent to which its recommendations have been implemented by the UWSSAs.
The CAG concluded that the existing monitoring system for water distribution was not effective and inspections, repair of water networks were not adequately conducted. "The repair is not executed well as it takes 24 hours to repair the report leak," he said.

Looks pretty good so far. Looking forward to seeing how it develops. My only 'issue' is that I would like to see some rounded buildings.
I've run a fair bit of Saga and have enjoyed it a great deal. Good luck with your campaign!
Hey guys,
This is the Tatooine map I've been working on. It is my first Battle Map and it is for a Star Wars Saga Edition campaign.
I'm using Photoshop CS5, I'm still learning a lot of stuff about the software...
The map is supposed to be for a tight combat area, like alleys and small streets. I'm thinking about creating some really small shops in the construction on the center (like a guy and a counter kind of thing), I was thinking about adding some moisture vaporators... I don't know, feeling kind of stuck... Any ideas or criticism to what is already done is welcome!
Looks pretty good so far. Looking forward to seeing how it develops. My only 'issue' is that I would like to see some rounded buildings.
I've run a fair bit of Saga and have enjoyed it a great deal. Good luck with your campaign!
A good start, personally I like to make the shadows darker close to the building and then fading out as they get further away. The ground and stairs are realistic looking, but the buildings are drawings, I'd add some good roofs to those buildings, or interiors if the players need to run through them (or both) - in both cases loose the thick black edge. ... and congrats on your first map uploaded

Yep... I knew that was something bothering me with the buildings... the hachure in the buildings interiors is there just because I didn't know what to put there(roofs, interiors, black color...)
tilt, I think I'll go with both, interiors at the center and roofs at the edges of the map.
mearrin69, when you say rounded, you mean those with rounded bases, right? Not just the rounded roofs.
Guys, I appreciate the comments, keep them coming!
Roger that. It seemed most of the buildings in Mos Eisley (the city we see most) were rarely (never?) square...they seemed mostly to be at least rounded off at the corners, if not entirely rounded. I think they were also most half underground for insulation purposes. Is that what your stairs are for?
Of course, I'm sure the Empire would just smack down some pre-fab outpost shacks or build big squarish Coruscant-style government buildings smack in the middle of things when they start muscling in...typical!

Planning a Vacation
February 19, 2013
If a vacation is in your plans, consider the financial aspects along with other details of your trip. For example, knowing how much the vacation is going to cost and how to pay for it.
Costs of the Vacation
The actual costs will depend on the type of trip you plan. But, probably at a minimum you will have transportation, accommodations, meals and activity costs. Here is a list that may help your planning.
Airline tickets - $____________
Parking or trip to/from airport - $____________
Rental car - $____________
Taxis - $____________
Other transportation - $____________
Hotel $_____ x ___ nights = $____________
Meals $_____ x ___ days = $____________
Entertainment/nightlife $____ x days = $_________
Tours - $____________
Admission fees - $____________
Shopping - $____________
_____________ - $____________
_____________ - $____________
Estimated Total - $____________
Before You Go
The actual cost of your vacation will depend on where you go and what you do on your trip. One of the best decisions you can make is to save the money you will need before you go. That way, you can enjoy the trip without financial worry.
There is no easier way to save than with an automatic savings plan. If you are already using direct deposit for your paycheck, consider an automatic transfer to your savings account each month. Financial institutions, such as Home Federal Bank, allow customers to set up transfers to and from their Home Federal Checking and Savings accounts within their online banking system. If you are not already using direct deposit for your paycheck, contact your employer to help you get started.
Alternatively, consider a simple home equity loan to finance the trip up front. A home equity loan works like an installment loan, with a fixed amount advanced to you in a lump sum. You can repay the loan in fixed monthly payments over a set term, with a fixed interest rate. Compare the interest rates and fees of a pay-off schedule you can afford.
The cost of using a credit card for the trip can add up. If you prefer the security of a credit card on your trip, use the home equity funds to pay off your balance promptly when you return.
Your vacation should be fun and carefree. Planning before you go can provide the peace of mind knowing that the cost is covered.
For more information on checking accounts, savings options, home equity loans or credit card products, contact a Home Federal Banker today.

Found these growing on my spud plant,don't know what type it is maybe king edward. Are they seeds? why didn't i get any on my other plants?
Yes they contain the seeds - don't mistake them for tomatoes as they're poisonous. Some potatoes flower and produce seed and some don't and even I don't know why
jeez ! i bit one in half to have a look ... still here
From these seeds you can grow your own seed potatos for planting? How?
The seeds will grow into potato plants, but may not be anything like the parent plant. Potatoes grown from tubers are vegetatively propagated and will be identical to the parent. usually I pinch off the flowers as they form. Forming seeds like this diverts the energy of the plant, and you will not get as big a yield of tubers.
I left mine on and my main crop of Cara were huge and lots of them also they are a month early
Hi, I have these on my Cara crop too so maybe it is prone to it ? Great spud and great crop tho' - I chop mine off too as scientifically makes sense - stops plant from diverting energy into seed- making as fidget bones already said. Cute tho' and proof that pots and toms are indeed part of the same family.

Best DLC to come out for Borderlands 2 yet.stegsux | July 2, 2013 | Review of Borderlands 2 Tiny Tinas Assault on Dragon Keep - PC
This DLC is a gem compared to the other DLC's previously released. The other DLC's like the pirate one and the Mr. Torgue DLC's were basically just a bunch of poorly designed levels and free guns. This DLC, however, is much different. Giving the player an actual story, you are immediately surrounded by interesting maps and enemies that are actually fun to fight. The quests you are given are all entertaining and (besides one quest) are not grindy at all. The loot you get is absolutely amazing, and the references to things such as Dark Souls and DnD are just perfect. Overall, great DLC, and completely worth the purchase.

Gaps Seen in Treating Depression in Elderly
By SARA RIMER
Published: September 5, 1999
BOSTON, Sept. 4— The 92-year-old woman was sitting in her wheelchair, talking with her psychiatrist at the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center for Aged, when the phone she carries in a black canvas bag rang. She unzipped the bag and greeted her niece on the line: ''Hello, Myrna. I'm in a meeting now. Can I call you back?''
The psychiatrist, Dr. Eran Metzger, smiled. A year ago, the woman was so depressed that she had not only lost interest in talking to anyone, she had stopped eating. But not long after he started her on Remeron, an anti-depressant, her mood began to improve. The ringing telephone, he said, was as good an indication as any that she was again engaged in life.
The woman, a former business executive, had suffered a series of griefs that might seem to define old age: the deaths of her husband and her five sisters; the loss of her vision and her ability to walk; finally and crushingly, the death of her only child, a son.
''To tell you the truth, I didn't want to live,'' she recalled.
Few people would argue that the woman, 92 or not, should not be treated for what doctors call major depression, a condition in which the brain chemistry is altered. In fact, she was one of the lucky older Americans who suffer from depression: her home for the aged had a geriatric specialist on staff, Dr. Metzger, who could recognize her symptoms and not confuse them with old age itself. Most nursing homes and residences for the aged do not.
Just as medicine is more able than ever to treat depression, experts worry that the nation's health care system is not prepared to deal with a surge in cases as baby boomers approach old age -- eventually doubling the population 65 and older -- and encounter the chronic diseases and losses that can make a person vulnerable to depression.
But the growing treatment of depression among the old also raises questions about the quality of the last stage of life and its emotional complexities -- the mingling of grief at the loss of a spouse, for example, with the anticipation of seeing a grandchild -- that younger people, who mostly fear old age and disability, find difficult to understand.
While doctors say there is no question that depression can be safely treated, they also debate where sadness ends and depression begins, what realistic expectations for the final years are.
Poets and philosophers have always spoken of the despair -- ''the tragic sense of life,'' the Spanish philosopher Miguel de Unamuno called it -- that the very old experience as they confront the dwindling of their days. Some experts on aging worry that modern medicine may end up trivializing that despair, trying to medicate away the deep sadness that comes with losses.
''Some despair is inevitable as you recognize that time is short, that you don't have the opportunity to work out a different life,'' said Rose Dobrof, 74, the Brookdale Center on Aging's professor of gerontology at Hunter College.
''What too often happens is that because the family doctor doesn't have time to talk, he prescribes medication,'' Professor Dobrof said. ''It's the easiest thing to do. What people need are human connections.'' People, she said, need to talk, to doctors, clergy and social workers, and to family and friends.
At the same time, Professor Dobrof said, medication -- particularly newer anti-depressants like Zoloft, Paxil and Prozac that have fewer side effects -- is often needed to ease depression in many cases.
Medication undoubtedly played a major role in the recovery of the 92-year-old woman (many old people talk freely, even eagerly, about their ailments, but depression is not considered a subject for open discussion; the woman, like other patients interviewed for this article, did not want to be named). She had attended weekly group therapy sessions, Dr. Metzger said, but until she began taking anti-depressants she could only sit and cry. Now she joins in.
But Dr. Metzger said her recovery was also helped by a psychiatric nurse, Phyllis Cronin, who recognized the woman's isolation and made an effort to form a close relationship with her.
The goal of treatment, Dr. Metzger said, was not to erase her sadness, nor to transform her into a cheerful old woman. ''We're not trying to make everyone conform to our stereotypes of aging,'' he said. Most of the cases he treats, he said, are people with major depression, a condition that can inhibit recovery from disease and strokes and increase pain.
Though the woman no longer talks of wanting to die, Dr. Metzger said, she still cries over her son, and she still gets angry about living in an institution. He is mindful of how she put it the other day: ''The doctor and the medicine help you, but the pain in your heart will live forever.''
For most of this century, to the extent that doctors thought about depression and the elderly at all, it was to say, who wouldn't be depressed? But geriatric psychiatrists and other experts see no reason that the old and infirm should not find some fulfillment in life.
In her book, ''Another Country -- Navigating the Emotional Terrain of Our Elders'' (Riverhead Books, 1999), Mary Pipher explored the psychological growth that many old people experience as they decline. ''There is an amazing calculus,'' she wrote. ''Anyone who isn't an idiot becomes a philosopher.''
It is important, experts say, that younger people not impose their fears and stereotypes about old age on the old.

City weighs bankruptcy
FRESNO (AP) — Stockton, the California city with the nation's second-highest foreclosure rate, is facing a moment of decision on whether to become the biggest city to file for bankruptcy, as a deadline for talks between the city and its creditors approached late Monday.
City officials are still hoping to reach a deal that would restructure millions of dollars of debt under a new state mediation law designed to help municipalities avoid bankruptcy, City Manager Bob Deis said.
On some nights, negotiations with the 18 creditors have stretched past midnight and remain confidential. But Deis said that to avoid bankruptcy, any deal would have to result in sufficient savings to make the city solvent.
Meantime, officials have made preparations in case mediation efforts fail. The Stockton City Council is scheduled to decide today whether to adopt a special budget, which would cover the city's projected $26 million deficit in case of a bankruptcy declaration.
California cities are required by law to adopt a balanced budget by July 1 of each year.
If mediation fails and council members adopt the special budget, Stockton's lawyers could file for Chapter 9 protection in court as early as Wednesday, Deis said.
City officials say this river port city of 290,000 in the Central Valley has run out of options. In recent years, thousands of new homes mushroomed in Stockton, part of a suburban housing boom that attracted buyers from the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.

'Golden Handshakes' a possibility
By: Brandon Darnell, News Messenger Reporter
City Council unanimously voted to take the first step to offering "Golden Handshake" retirement incentives Tuesday. The incentive could prevent further layoffs of city staff, as the city would be able to save money through the deal. "I don't foresee any layoffs in the police department," Police Chief Brian Vizzusi said. "We took care of that and streamlined our operations earlier this year." A Golden Handshake means that city employees who are at least 50 years old and have been in CalPERS – a state-run retirement plan – for at least five years could get the option to retire early, with an extra two years of service credit. That means that a 50-year-old employee taking the deal would effectively be retiring as if he or she were 52 years old, said councilwoman Linda Stackpoole. Retiring at later ages typically means more retirement pay, according to Stackpoole. "And we save a lot of money," Stackpoole added. By enticing some employees to retire early and leaving their positions empty, it could save other employees from layoffs, said City Manager Jim Estep, who added that about 10 of the city's approximately 200 employees would be eligible. "I think this is a good thing for us given economic times and is a way to save the jobs of those who are further from retirement," Mayor Spencer Short said. Typically, public safety is most affected by Golden Handshake deals, according to Debbie Lindh, the city of Lincoln's human resources manager. But that's not the case in Lincoln. The fire department has no employees old enough to qualify, said Fire Chief Dave Whitt. The police department has two employees who could potentially take an early retirement but both positions would need to be filled, said Vizzusi, who added that the Golden Handshake idea is good. Lincoln residents had mixed feelings on the Golden Handshake idea. "I think that's a reasonable option for people," said resident Kevin Anderson. "We pay for it but we also benefit from it." Christina Harmon, who lives in Lincoln near the Auburn border, said the offering of a Golden Handshake is wrong. "They ought to cut the council payrolls and leave staff on," Harmon said. "They're really overpaid." According to Short, council members are paid $600 per month, plus health benefits. A Golden Handshake is not unique to the city of Lincoln, Lindh said. Roseville's City Council made a similar offer to its employees and 12 took the offer. With an average salary of $70,000 per year, it equates to more than $800,000 in savings if the employees are not replaced, Lindh said. The dollar amount Lincoln could save is not yet known, as the first step for staff to take will be to identify which departments will be offered the deal, Lindh said. Those recommendations are likely to come back to City Council in September and, if approved, be implemented in 90 to 180 days. "That tells you that a lot of other cities are taking the same action," Stackpoole said. Brandon Darnell can be reached by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of acres of land burn across the United States and wildland fire fighters (WFFs) are asked to protect our lives, our homes and our forests. But fires are unpredictable and dangerous. Between 2000-2013, almost 300 on-duty WFF fatalities occurred. 1,2,3 Common hazards faced on the fire line can include burnovers/entrapments, heat-related illnesses and injuries, smoke inhalation, vehicle-related injuries (including aircraft), slips, trips, and falls and others.4. In addition, due to prolonged intense physical exertion, WFFs are at risk for heat related illness and rhabdomyolsis.
NIOSH offers resources for fire departments, fire fighters, and partner organizations to prevent on-duty injuries, illnesses and deaths from hazards and exposures associated with fighting wildfires.
CDC and NIOSH also provide resources for responders in conducting rescue and clean-up activities.

May 3, 2016
More and more doctors are being disciplined by the state medical board, and the executive director of N-C Medical says it shows the board is doing its job.
The number of doctors disciplined by the state medical board rose 30 percent last year compared to 2005, and has tripled since 2002.
David Henderson says the numbers reflect an ongoing commitment by the medical board to effectively do its job. That comes in the face of criticism that the board has been too lax in punishing some errant physicians.
The board was criticized over its decisions in a pair of cases two years ago. It has since increased the number of staff members who investigate and raised license fees by 50 dollars to 175 dollars to help pay for the extra staff.
The medical board has gained national attention since it declared in January that any doctor who participates in an execution violates medical ethics and could face sanction.

'inflated expectations', hmmm.. I wonder if the big bad media had something to do with that..
By 2020 anyone will be able to expose themselves to education online. The Death of Community Colleges will increase. The Successful pursuit of Higher Education will rest with University where a combination of hand holding during MOOC provides the Success. Fighting MOOC by restricting Accreditation only exposes the Bloated Salaries of wasteful Educational Administrations.
What's wrong with the cost of education declining due to MOOC?
Education is destined to MOOC in the same same way eBay/Amazon buried Sears and Roebuck!
"Books will soon be obsolete in schools" – Thomas Edison, 1913 ... yes, colleges and university will be obsolete soon and we will all take mooocs... lol/
I enrolled in a number of MOOCs through Coursera. I haven't actually completed any for credit, but I have gone through all the lectures and print outs. Along the way I switched up priorities on what to continue. I'm a technical consultant with no business background so I decided to try the Wharton Business Foundation Series. It was easy to go through Operations Management and Marketing courses. Doing those 2 courses along with Intro to Financial Accounting and at one point Corporate Finance was too much with my current job during the day, so I decided to not finish Accounting or Corporate Finance. Later on I found another course from Rochester called Power of Markets which is basically a huge review of Economics. I haven't seen Econ in a long time and I'm actually finding the review helpful, it also touches on principles mentioned in Wharton's Accounting and Corporate Finance. So perhaps it would be better to review the econ and then go back to those two courses? After all, I could be getting graded an compared against people who already have a ton of knowledge in those fields.
There's no 'academic adviser' or 'placement tests' to guide you in selection for these courses. Furthermore, the courses are free and there's no real loss if you stop taking them. Getting exposure and failing behind the scenes with anything is always the best way to prepare and succeed. Thinking about getting a masters in computer science or an MBA? Try taking some MOOCs a year ahead of time to get yourself ready. A lot of value in an MBA is the network you are develop when you go to that school (that is just my opinion from what I've seen, also making linkedin connections at school, etc).
MOOCs are also better than reading text books on your own because you have an instructor that can provide 'scope' on the extent of a subject through online lectures.
I completely disagree judging the usefulness of MOOCs based on completion rate. It would make more sense to judge on click stream data, especially if the organizations are non profit.
I just started taking a couple of courses from Coursera and found them to be excellent. My objective is to learn the subject area and not go get any college credits. I am completing every single assignment with 90 to 100 percent scores. It will be really sad if MOOCs do not work out but in my opinion they will succeed.
If you compare MOOCs with the classroom experience we are all used to, you may find them wanting because of the lack of instructor interaction. However, if use MOOCs for self-learning purposes with no expectation of credits, then the comparison should be to textbooks and other educational materials one may use to learn on ones own. And, as the two "Anonymous" comments observe, MOOCs are significantly better than classic textbooks.
As with many disruptive innovations, I believe that different kinds of MOOCs will find their own "niches" in the learning spectrum over time. And, some of those niches are likely to surprise us.
I have signed up for a few of these, just on various things that interest me, through Coursera, and haven't finished a one of them. The problem really is that I have no stake in finishing a free, no-credit course, but paradoxically, if there were a fee, I'd probably never sign up in the first place. What with already having an advanced degree and the demands of holding down a job, there is no incentive for me to keep up with the lectures or do the assignments when i'm crunched enough for time as it is. I will say, however, that practical skills training might indeed be the future for these. I quite frequently look up Youtube videos that show me how to do various handyman-type things. The big advantage of a 10-minute Youtube video is that I learn to do something for free (like a MOOC) but I'm not tied down to an entire class (unlike a MOOC), and the only homework is actually going and fixing whatever thing in the house was broken that the video showed me how to fix.
I have taken several of the Coursera courses, and also have a Masters that I received entirely online. Some of the coursera courses I've recieved certificates of completion in, others taken just for enjoyment. Coursera isn't currently structured as a university curriculum would be. While there are a few sequencial courses, most of the offerings are ad hoc. It actually is more in the competitive environment as the Great Courses (formerly The Teaching Company), who offered a series of lectures from university professors on a particular subject. In addition to the online Masters I have a conventional Masters, and other than the lack of student/group projects (although we did have these with the online program) the rigor was about the same (the online tuition however was slightly higher). For MOOCs to be competitive with traditional education they will have to offer the same structured curriculums, meaning that either one university will present all the courses, or a collection of universities will offer various courses covering the require body of knowledge. To be profitable however, MOOCs will just need to charge a small fee for the courses, such as The Great Courses does, or similiar to the subscription service the Amazon.com does through it's Audible.com audiobooks company. The course offerings are very suitable to Kindle download format. The course could be taught initially in a 'real-time' interative format (the current MOOC model) then offered for a download fee for those who want to take the course at their leisure.
I took the original AI class and succeeded.
The main problem with these courses is that they take up time, and while personal edification is important, I figure that if I'm going to put my time in for courses I should get a Master's degree for my efforts.
This is why I enrolled in Georgia Tech's OMSCS course. It provides me a way to get a Master's degree for a good cost, from a respected University. That is enough motivation to get me going.
The AI class was fun.. but I'm not going to do a ton of classes unless I can also earn a degree. My time is valuable.
I have taken 10 MOOCs courses, and it´s like the university, every teacher has its own style.
I took a course about innovation at Stanford and then went to that university in person to take a 3 day course in the same subject.
Of course the experience was very different but essentially the content was very similar, I had to complete a project on both. The cost/value ratio from having a Free vs come to Stanford and pay thousands dollars for the same content is overwhelmimg favorable to MOOCs.
My opinion is that MOOCs raise fear for some Academics about change, for me Masters degrees will be the premium choice to get an education, but in the long term probably Masters degrees will loose its appeal.
Moocs give control to learners and Universities are not used to that.

Dr. Aletta,
I want to thank you for your excellent points on choosing a psychotherapist. I would add another series of questions to ask:
1. What type of approach to emotional healing do you use for your interventions (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, NLP, Narrative therapy, Psychodynamic, Solution Focused, etc.)?
2. How long do you take to treat patients (for example depression, sexual abuse, etc.)? This will show how effective the therapist is. My view is that the longer it takes to help a patient heal the less competent or able the therapist is and therefore the more expensive the treatment will be.
I often speak with other clinicians and am amazed at how long and the many sessions they take to treat issues that can be treated sometimes in one or several sessions. I believe this is due to the trauma treatment model a therapist has. If it is an effective and powerful one then that therapist will see great healing often and efficiently in his/her patients.
Again, you did a wonderful job in sharing with us those important steps to finding a good therapist.
Samuel Lopez De Victoria, Ph.D.
- Elvira G. Aletta, Ph.D. 3:11 pm on January 27th, 2010
Dear Dr, Lopez de Victoria,
Thank you for these additions to the interview script! Especially #1 (it's a bit embarrassing I forgot it). These days people have a good idea what modality of therapy they are looking for; I often get asked if I "do" CBT or DBT.
Regarding #2: What works well for me is to ask the potential patient (after the first meeting) to commit to four to six sessions after which we re-assess and either terminate because the initial goals have been met or continue with a clear treatment plan. Sometimes after the first series of sessions the initial goals are achieved but underlying ones appear that the patient wishes to address and will take longer.
- Richard Zwolinski 3:47 pm on January 27th, 2010
These are excellent tips, Dr. Aletta.
You are right–a combination of (mostly)facts and gut instinct are important, and it is also important to stress the evaluation aspect of the phone interview, but prospective patients and family members often feel vulnerable, stressed, and the evaluation process can be very challenging. They may very well feel more comfortable turning over at least some responsibility to a therapist, whether or not that therapist is the best choice for them. That's why in my book Therapy Revolution: Find Help, Get Better, and Move On (Without Wasting Time or Money), I wrote several detailed chapters on how to evaluate a current or prospective therapist and I also devote an entire chapter to the Phone Interview process called: Don't Hire a Therapist…Until You Make This Phone Call. Included is a a Phone Interview worksheet and evaluation tool for use by patients and/or members of their family or support network. Also, I blog about the therapy experience and process in my PsychCentral blog, Therapy Soup.
- Elvira G. Aletta, Ph.D. 5:04 pm on January 27th, 2010
Dear Richard,
Congratulations on your Therapy Soup blog and welcome to PsychCentral! I'm glad you suggested your book and the phone interview worksheet provided to further support people looking for help. Information is power! And the more the better, especially, as you say, we feel particularly vulnerable.

In re #4: "How Soon Can You See Me?"
Every therapist on this board will attest to the fact that cancellations are a fact of life. Sometimes they come well in advance, sometimes they come the night before, sometimes they come on an hour's notice.
I would urge anyone who wants to see a particular therapist, but is told that they have no time, to say the following:
"I understand you are busy. I am glad you are busy. Who wants to see an unpopular therapist? That said, if you get a cancellation — and you will get a cancellation — please put me at the top of your list to fill in. I can come in on an [fill in the blank] hour's, two-hours, five hours, days, etc. notice. Thank you."
Last tip:
If you have a particular issue, for goodness sake go to some with a ton of experience and hopefully certification in that arena. If it's a sex question, see someone certified by quad S or AASECT. If it's a couples issue, see someone who does almost exclusively couples work and is trained in family systems, or at least is certified by the AAMFT. If it's a chronic illness question, don't see someone who has worked with just one or two patients with cancer or somesuch. See someone with a big background in health psychology.
Just about every therapist you ask, "Have you worked with XYZ," will say "yes." Because they probably have, at some point in their academic/certification/practice career. You don't just want someone who has worked with XYZ. You want someone who's passionate about it and expert on it. 'Nuff said.
For an interesting article on the pitfalls of marital therapy with people who "do" it but who don't specialize in it, see HOW THERAPY CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR MARITAL HELP, by Dr. William Doherty.
I don't vouch for Doherty's particular approach to couples work, but many of the points he makes in the above article are valid.
- TPG 11:17 am on January 28th, 2010
Just one more first-contact question to pose.
All potential clients oughta ask this, very early in on the first interview. There may be nothing more important structurally and practically in your therapy experience:
"If for some practical reason I can't make it to your office, can we work by telephone or by Skype? If I have to relocate or work out of town, can we continue our sessions by phone or by Skype?"
Different therapists feel different about non-office sessions. Some are fine with it. Some won't do it on general principle, believing that only the face-to-face of the office can be most effective.
Whatever the therapist's take on the issue, the fact is that we don't live in Freud's Vienna anymore. Everyone has to deal with things like traffic, childcare, work emergencies, travel, sick relatives in other cities and states, etc. Getting to a session or sessions may close to impossible.
You will want to know whether your therapist is comfortable with tech-assisted work before you get to work with him or her.

DeWalt Metal Grinding Wheels
Comment:Very satisfied with the DeWalt metal grinding wheel 25 pack. We run a mobile heavy equipment business and being able to purchase the 25 pack sure helps us keeping our work trailer stocked so we can get the job done without stopping to get more supplies. Everything was great from quality product, pricing, to shipping. Great job!!cmpBurtrum, MN

I think I speak for all parents reading this. When it comes to the health and well-being of our children, we will do whatever it takes. Sacrifices made to bring healing are nothing compared to the reward of meeting the smallest of milestones or having a normal bowel movement! Today we are hearing from a fellow mamma bear. Jen and her husband have had their share of challenges and have faced them head on with a modified diet and help from above—much the same way my husband and I have gone about dealing with Miles' health. Jen, 39, admits that "going grain free was no easy task...especially for a gluten-loving Italian. No pasta?! NO BREAD?!? Are you kidding? Fugettaboutit." But they did and it has made a huge difference in their daughter's health.
For the first five or so years of our marriage, changing our diets was something we knew would be a good thing, but didn't take too seriously. Some changes were made—such as fewer processed foods in the pantry, but more drastic changes came later for us—around the time our second child was born. Serious health issues have a way of waking you up—especially when it affects your children.
From infancy, our daughter's health was compromised. She couldn't gain weight as a baby and, though I greatly desired to breast feed, my milk production was very low. (I came to find out later that I had hypothyroidism—most likely the cause of not making enough milk all along.)
Our pediatrician at the time insisted that I start supplementing her feedings with infant formula. I understood where he was coming from—she was painfully underweight - but breastfeeding was a very difficult thing to give up. I battled with the emotions of sorrow—knowing that I would be missing that special gift God gives to mothers when they tenderly feed their little ones. On top of that, I had to deal with the guilt of believing that I would be giving her little body something I knew wasn't best for her.
After trying different formulas, both milk and soy based, she seemed to get worse. She projectile vomited, screamed and cried and was passing bloody mucous in her stools. I remember feeling utterly helpless and fearful for my little girl—a feeling I would experience again. The memory brings me to tears even now.
My dearest friend, Julia McRae, who happens to be a nutrition consultant, remembered hearing that a couple who owned a local health food store adopted a child many years ago and made the child's formula themselves. She got the recipe for me and I went to work. I pleaded with my pediatrician to allow me to try making the formula myself and see how my daughter's body responded. If she wasn't gaining weight or thriving in some way, I would put her on whatever formula he thought best.
I won't go into the nitty-gritty, but formula making was no easy task. Before long though, we got into a groove and had it down pat. Long story short, at four months old, my daughter ended up contracting a virus and landing in the hospital. Our pediatrician said he had given me some leash, but it was time to put her on formula. From there, he put her on Nutramigen (a formula for children with food allergies).
We are thankful to God that our daughter began gaining weight and thriving on the Nutramigen. However, once she got old enough for solid food, she wanted nothing to do with it. I can't say I blame her. By about 10 months old, she finally began to eat baby cereal.
Our woes continued once she started eating food. I made healthy baby food for her, but we still saw her struggling. Every couple of months, she would go through a period of not wanting to eat, then vomiting. We thought at first she kept getting stomach viruses, but then began to notice that neither we, nor our son, would ever come down with the virus.
About this time, my best friend discovered a pediatrician, Julie Buckley, M.D., that specialized in children with autism and intestinal problems. Though our daughter isn't autistic, she has many of the same intestinal problems that autistic children struggle with. We've been with Dr. Buckley ever since and she has been a special blessing to our family. She found that our daughter had no intestinal flora (none) and needed a good probiotic, as well as enzymes to help digest her food. We also supplemented with a good multi-vitamin and began tweaking her diet—no dairy, no wheat.
She steadily improved, gained weight and grew! We were thrilled.
To be honest, we haven't always kept her on a strict diet. Once she improved, we thought she was back to "normal". Years later – she's now 9 – we're getting back on the wagon. After having her on a strictly gluten free and lactose free diet, we weren't seeing the results we wanted.
My friend Julia suggested I read a book called "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" by Elaine Gottschall. After reading the book, we decided to take the plunge and remove certain carbohydrates. Our diet basically consists of no gluten, no grains, no casein (a milk protein shown to be very irritating to the gut), and no soy.
We've been on this diet about three months now and we've seen her steadily improve. She is no longer up in the middle of the night with a tummy ache, crouching over the toilet afraid she is going to be sick. Her "my tummy doesn't feel well" bedtime mantra is happening with much less frequency, and she seems on the road to recovery.
Lessons learned along the way:
As I look back now, I can see how the Lord was preparing me—even in my daughter's infancy—to be in the kitchen more. Truth is, He's even given me a love for it. There's a purpose to it—to nourish my family and even, as God allows and answers our prayers—repair what is broken.
I have failed many times along the way—my own selfishness and fear often getting in the way. But when my little girl gives me a great big hug and says, "Thank you for being the kind of Mommy who takes care of me," my heart melts and I ask the Lord to forgive my sin and give me the strength to continue on.

Putting the modified diet focus of this blog aside, Making the Switch is open to all. The point being to bring personal stories to light that encourage young and old to get back into the kitchen to cook real food. As Jamie Oliver puts it, "make only a few small changes and magical things will happen." Whether it's weight loss, improvements in a child's behavior or the regaining of health, magical things will happen.

The other thread is nearing 1,000 replies, so please continue all discussions here.
Well I think the fact that it's mid-November and people are still interested enough in the team to necessitate a second thread demonstrates how much they've exceeded expectations.
No team I've ever rooted for has exceeded expectations as much as this one. I couldn't be happier with how things have turned out this year for them.
I agree. Prior to this year, I had season tickets for the past six years, and like many, I non-renewed this past offseason. While I don't regret that decision one bit, I'm thoroughly enjoying this season because my expectations were so low, and through nine games, I'm thrilled to be wrong. FWIW, I did go to the Steelers game.
Looks like no AJ this week.
Gonna take a huge performance by Ced to win
Well AJ said he's a game-time decision, so I wouldn't rule him out just yet. Definitely a tough break for us, but we can still win a low-scoring, close ballgame even without him.
The game this week doesn't just hinge on AJ. There's Dunlap, PacMan and others too.
I don't like our chances without AJ but I'm going to watch it anyway...
AJ, Clements, and Pacman all did not practice yesterday. Without all three, the Bengals should be 20 point underdogs. Who the hell is going to play CB?
I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but what in the world was Gruden thinking running a reverse with AJ Green after his knee injury? That was insane. They were lucky that Green wasn't immediately lost for the year, and then they press their luck by running a play that puts a huge amount of pressure on his knees. It was so idiotic I darn near spit out my drink. To no one's surprise, at least not mine, Green didn't go in for another play that game.
This is tough to say, but if I'm the Bengals, I don't play Green Sunday and I don't think twice about it. He's obviously amazing, but he's not 100% and there's an excellent chance he'll further his injury. Rest him for a week and let him come back close to normal.

Negligence suit filed against Sycamore police officer, son
SYCAMORE -- The mother of shooting victim Thomas Kosta filed a lawsuit on Friday against Sycamore police officer Rob Rosenberg and his 17-year-old son, Steven, seeking more than $350,000 in damages.
Jacquelyn Kosta, who was appointed the administrator of Thomas' estate in June, claims negligence on the part of the Rosenbergs for the events leading up to Thomas' death inside the Rosenberg home on May 11.
In part, the suit states that the Rosenbergs "carelessly and negligently failed to keep (a) handgun and live ammunition under lock and key when the defendant knew, or in the exercise of ordinary care, should have known that (Steven) was aware of the presence of (a) handgun and live ammunition.

Small-stream flood investigations in Minnesota, October 1958 to September 1980
Open-File Report 82-433
- By:
- Kurt T. Gunard and C.J. Smith
- Document: Document (pdf)
- Download citation as: RIS
AbstractAn investigation of flood flows from small drainage basins in Minnesota is being made to aid in the design of bridges, culverts and other highway drainage structures. Results of the investigation provide peak-flow data on streams generally with drainage areas less than 200 square miles, placing particular emphasis on those with drainage areas lees than 10 square miles. Basin parameters being investigated for their effect on floods are drainage area, length of main stream, slope of main channel, basin altitude, forest cover, and storage area. All of the 187 gaging stations included in the report are equipped with crest-stage gages. In addition, 4 stations are equipped to record stage and precipitation continuously. The relative magnitude of flood flows for different hydrologic regions is shown in graphs that relate maximum discharge to drainage area. Station records contain location, drainage area, records available, type of gage, on-site structure elevations, bankfull stage, and annual maximum stage and discharge data. These data, with annual peak data from continuous-record stations, form the basis for statewide flood-frequency studies. (USGS)

Leon Weliczker Wells, a Holocaust survivor who testified at both the Nuremberg and Eichmann trials, has died.
Wells died of cancer Dec. 19 at his home in Fort Lee, N.J., at the age of 84. He was cremated, as per his wishes, having said that his people had gone that way.
He was 17 years old in 1943 when he was among those in the Janowska camp in Lvov forced by the Nazis to dig up and burn the bodies of hundreds of thousands of Jews and some Polish political officials murdered in Lvov in order to hide the truth about the Nazi death camps from the approaching Allies.
Wells testified at the Eichmann trial in Israel in 1961 that he was the only member of his "whole family, including all cousins, uncles," among 76 to survive the Holocaust. Among those killed were his parents and six siblings.
His harrowing memoir, "The Death Brigade," first published in 1963 by Macmillan as "The Janowska Road," is universally considered a classic of Holocaust literature.
"I knew him very well and his work was a very important contribution," Elie Wiesel, a Noble Peace Prize laureate and Holocaust survivor, told JTA. "Everybody who knew him liked him very much because of his intelligence and sensitivity."
After World War II, Wells immigrated to the United States, where he taught at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and was a research fellow in the Naval Research Office.
