PCC in the News
News: S&S Duo Helps Women's Cross Country Take 10th At SoCal Preview Meet
The Pasadena City College women's cross country team has a race on its hands, not the races they participate in as much as the competition to see which Lancers runner is fastest. The duo of sophomore Christina Shamirian and freshman Tansica Sunkamaneevongse continued that friendly battle on Sept. 13 as their high finishes helped PCC take 10th place out of 30 teams at the SoCal Preview Meet held at College of the Canyons.
Over the 5-kilometer Central Park course (in Santa Clarita), Shamirian placed 22nd overall out of 221 region runners with a top Lancers time of 20:32.14. Sunkamaneevongse was right on her teammate's trail as she took 25th at 20:36.52.
"We had a runner miss due to illness, so we could have been as high as seventh," said PCC head coach Armand Crespo. "We're getting some great runs from our top two ladies and we've established that we are one of the top teams in the region."
Sophomore Kaidladnni Chavez also ran well at the SoCal Preview with a 55th place showing at 21:15.53. The rest of the Lancers placed as follows: Brenda Grate, 91st, 22:01.90; Emely Garcia, 120th, 22:49; Linda Flores-Barillas, 147th, 23:49; and Ashley Medina, 153rd, 24:20.
Orange Coast won the team title.
In the men's 4-mile race at the COC course, the Lancers harriers placed 14th behind a top run by sophomore Brendan Greene, who finished 57th at 23:06.73. Greene has been PCC's highest finisher in all three meets this season.
Sophomore Oswel Caal placed 72nd at 23:31.56 while freshman David Moreno also cracked the top 100 (out of 192 overall) in 96th at 24:12.40. Other PCC finishers were Ruben Torres, 106th, 24:27.41; Faustino Gil, 109th, 24:32.70; Chris Alagala, 115th, 24:41.65; and Russell Yu, 133rd, 25:24.52.
"Clearly we ran in a tight pack with four runners all within 30 seconds of each other," Crespo said. "We have room for improvement but we ran like a team with guys pushing each other. It's a good sign for later meets."
American River from the North crashed the SoCal Preview meet and won the event. Cerritos was the top South finisher in second place.
On Friday, Sept. 20, the Lancers teams will participate in the Foothill Invitational at Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park in Ontario. The races begin at 10 a.m.

Lung cancer is the most deadly cancer worldwide and accounts for more deaths than prostate cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer combined. Non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for about 85% of all lung cancers. The current 5-year survival rate for all stages of NSCLC is only 15%. Although early stage lung cancer has a much better survival rate. Current therapeutic strategies of chemotherapy, radiation therapy and trials with new targeted therapies have only demonstrated, at best, extension in survival by a few months. Clearly, a novel approach is required to develop new therapies for this devastating disease and to detect the disease at an early stage. Cancer stem cells have been identified as the initial cell in the formation of carcinomas. Chemotherapy, radiation and even targeted therapies are all designed to eliminate dividing cells. However, cancer stem cells "hide out" in the quiescent phase of growth. This provides an explanation as to why our cancer therapies may produce an initial response but are often unsuccessful in curing patients. Lung cancer develops through a series of step wise changes that result in the progression of pre-malignant lesions to invasive lung cancer. The mechanisms of how lung cancer develops are not known and if we can prevent the formation of pre-malignant lesions, we will likely be able to prevent lung cancer. We have discovered a subpopulation of stem cells that circulates in the blood and is essential for normal lung repair. Blocking these cells from entering the lung results in a pre-malignant condition in the lungs. We have also identified a subpopulation of stem cells in the lung that is responsible for generating pre-malignant lung cancer lesions. We hypothesize that the interaction between the stem cells in the blood and the stem cells in the lung are critical to prevent lung cancer. We plan to use cutting edge technologies to characterize these different stem cell populations in the lung, and determine how they form pre-malignant lung cancer lesions. We also plan to use preclinical models to try to prevent lung cancer by giving additional stem cells derived from the blood as a therapy. Lastly, we plan to determine whether levels of stem cells in the blood in patients may be used as a blood test to measure the chance of recurrence of lung cancer after therapy. The long term goals of our work are to develop a screening test for lung cancer stem cells that can predict which patients are at high risk for developing lung cancer in order to diagnose lung cancer at an early stage, and to potentially develop a new stem cell based therapy for preventing and treating lung cancer.
According to the Center for Health Statistics, California Department of Health Services, 13,427 people died of lung cancer in the state of California in 2005. This is more than the deaths attributed to breast, prostate and colon cancers combined. The devastating effects of this disease on the citizens of California and the health care costs involved are enormous. Most cases of lung cancer occur in smokers, but non smokers, people exposed to second hand smoke and ex-smokers are also at risk. In addition, of special concern to California residents, is that exposure to air pollution is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. Current therapeutic strategies for lung cancer are in general only able to prolong survival by a few months, especially for late stage disease. One reason for this may be that the cancer initiating stem cell is resistant to these therapies. Understanding the stem cell populations involved in repair of the lung and how these cells may give rise to lung cancer is important for potentially generating new therapeutic targets for lung cancer. We propose to study the stem cell populations of the lung that are crucial for normal airway repair and characterize the putative cancer initiating stem cell in the lung. We have also found stem cells in the blood that are critical for normal airway repair and we plan to test their role in the prevention of premalignant lung cancer lesions. We also plan to test whether levels of these stem cells in the blood may be used as a biomarker of lung cancer. Ultimately, the ability to perform a screening test to detect lung cancer at an early stage, and the development of new therapies for lung cancer will be of major benefit to the citizens of California.
We identified a putative tumor-initiating stem/progenitor cell that goes rise to smoking-associated non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We examined 399 NSCLC samples for this tumor-initiating stem/progenitor cell and found that the presence of this cell in the tumor gave rise to a significantly worse prognosis and was associated with metastatic disease. This stem/progenitor cell is known to be important for repair of the airway and is present in precancerous lesions. We believe that this cell undergoes aberrant repair after smoking injury, which leads to lung cancer. We are currently trying to identify the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms involved in this aberrant repair as a means to identify a novel therapy to prevent the development of lung cancer. The presence of these stem/progenitor cells may also be used as a biomarker of poor prognostic NSCLC even in early stage disease.
We have identified markers on these stem/progenitor tumor-initiating cells and identified sub-populations of these cells. We are now determining the stem cell capabilities of each of these sub-populations. We are using a model of the development of lung cancer to determine if giving a stem/progenitor cell sub-population for repair can prevent NSCLC from developing.
We examined the blood of patients diagnosed with a lung nodule for circulating epithelial stem/progenitor cells. We found that the presence of these cells in the blood of patients predicted the presence of a subtype of NSCLC as compared to a benign lung nodule. We are currently obtaining many more blood samples from patients to further determine whether circulating epithelial stem/progenitor cells could be used as a biomarker of early NSCLC.
We have found a stem cell that is important for lung repair after injury that is located in a protected niche in the airway. After repeated injury, for example in smokers, these stem cells persist in an abnormal location on the surface of the airway and replicate and form precancerous areas in the lung. The presence of these stem cells in lung cancer tumors was associated with a poor prognosis with an increased chance of relapse and metastasis.This was especially true in current and former smokers. We therefore believe we have found a putative stem cell that is a tumor initiating cell for lung cancer. We developed a method to isolate these lung stem cells and to profile these cells and developed in vitro and in vivo models to assess their stem cell properties. Finally, we examined human blood samples to assess levels of surrogate markers of these stem cells to assess whether we could use this as a biomarker to predict the presence or absence of lung cancer in patients with a lung nodule.
We found a stem cell that is important for lung repair after injury that we believe may form precancerous areas in the lung. We are characterizing these stem cells and identifying pathways involved in normal repair and aberrant repair that leads to lung cancer. We are also isolating this stem cell population and other cell populations from the airway and inducing genetic changes to determine the tumor initiating cell/s for lung cancer. We are also examining the effect the environment may have on the regulation of genes in these stem cells, in precancerous areas and in lung cancers. Finally, we are examining human blood samples to assess levels of surrogate markers of these stem cells to assess whether we could use this as a biomarker to predict the presence or absence of lung cancer in patients with a lung nodule.
During this period of funding we discovered a method to reproducibly recover stem cells from human airways and grow them in a dish into mature airway cells. We also discovered the role that certain metabolic cell processes play in regulating the repair after airway injury. We believe that an inability to shut off these processes leads to abnormal repair and lung cancer and are actively investigating this. We are also determining whether the stem cells we isolate from the airways are the stem cells for lung cancer and how they might give rise to lung cancer.
In the last year of funding we identified a novel mechanism that tightly controls airway stem cell proliferation for repair after injury. We found that perturbing this pathway results in precancerous lesions that can ultimately lead to lung cancer. Correcting the abnormalities in this pathway that are seen in smokers could allow the development of targeted chemoprevention strategies to prevent the development of precancerous lesions and therefore lung cancer in at risk populations. We also continued our work on trying to identify a cell of origin for squamous lung cancer and identifying the critical drive mutations that are required for squamous lung cancer to develop.
During this reporting period we discovered and published on how reactive oxygen species drive proliferation of airway basal stem cells. We found that this pathway is critical for homeostasis of the airway epithelium and perturbing this pathway results in precancerous lesions. Interestingly, these precancerous lesions are able to resolve over time, which is similar to the situation in smokers who develop precancerous lesions that almost always resolve. We now have a model to study the driver mutations that take precancerous lesions to invasive squamous lung cancer and with this model we can start to identify novel therapies to prevent the development of precancerous lesions and/or progression of precancerous lesions. We also developed a model of precancerous lesions in a dish which allows us to screen for compounds that promote or resolve these premalignant lesions. Our overall goal is to use these models to develop a targeted chemoprevention strategy for squamous lung cancer.

Ice fishing? It's fun and so easy
A great many of the state's lakes and reservoirs in the higher-elevation ranges of the Sierra freeze over in the winter.
While most waters remain inaccessible until the snow melts, others provide anglers with the usual water activity: fishing.
Forget what you might read in popular outdoor magazines about ice fishing in the upper Midwest. There are few similarities.
The biggest problem you'll encounter is getting through the ice. In my early days of ice fishing, I saw anglers use axes and even chainsaws. Most sporting goods outlets in the high country carry the one thing you need to get through the ice quickly: an ice auger. It looks like a large hand-operated brace and bit and will bore a hole in a minute or two.
Ice fishing dictates you have no specialized gear other than what you would use for shore fishing when the lake isn't frozen. Forget about the eastern and Midwestern tip-up rods. Not necessary.
If you have a two-rod stamp, you can bore two holes near each other and use a rod at each.
Some anglers jig a variety of lures, but most soak bait such as night crawlers, salmon eggs or Power Bait. Other than needing perhaps a pack of hooks, barrel and snap swivels and split-shot weights, not much else is needed.
Unless you want to stand the whole time, you might want to haul a bag chair on which to sit. I took a tackle box only to use as a rod holder, and a stringer or bag to transport the fish back to the vehicle. A strainer spoon is a useful tool to have to re-form ice scooped out for a clear hole.
We have to have a thermos of hot coffee or cocoa, and having lunch along means you won't have to trek back to the vehicle to eat.
All the gear is beginning to add up, isn't it? Pick up a cheap plastic sled, pile everything on, perhaps bungee cord the stuff down, and tow it all in one trip.
Just where do you bore a hole? If you're going for the first time, you'll be amazed at the number of people already on the lake. Their location will give you a general idea of where the action is.
Get in the general vicinity and "drop anchor." Set up shop and get your hole bored.
If you were fishing from shore during the summer, I'd strongly recommend a sliding sinker rig because you're casting out. Through the ice, I tie the hook directly to the line with a split-shot weight or two above the hook.
Let the line down until you hit bottom and then crank it up a bit to ensure your bait is just off the bottom. Put the rod across the tackle box with just the tip of the rod over the hole so the line goes straight down.
Now, kick back in your arm chair with a hot cup of coffee and wait for the trout to find your baited offering.
Sensing a bite when ice fishing is just like fishing from shore. If you balance the rod, the tip will head for the hole. If it isn't balanced, the rod will bounce like crazy, indicating a fish is biting or has it and is going for a run.
Reel it up. Some fish caught through the ice get to be quite big. I've caught 20-inchers. Once you get the fish out of the water, get a net under it.
You don't need a stringer ice fishing. Unhook the fish and lay it in the snow.
In the eastern and Midwestern states, they fish for pike, walleye, bass, sunfish and crappie. In California, it's rainbow trout, German brown trout and now and then lake trout or mackinaw.
There are numerous lakes that provide easy access with roads cleared at least to the dams. Some of the more popular lakes for ice fishing include Boca Reservoir, Prosser Reservoir, Frenchman's and Caples Lake. Donner Lake provides limited action.
Ice integrity is always a question, and it's unnerving to walk across a lake and hear a cracking sound. That's a natural phenomenon and is not a concern. As long as the ice is a minimum of 6-8 inches, you'll have absolutely no problem.
And while the ice surface might support the weight of a snowmobile, don't even think of doing what they do back east by attempting to take your vehicle onto the lake.
Because of a long break in winter weather, where temperature in the Sierra commonly was in the 50s during the day, the ice right now is just not safe enough.
Winter isn't over, however. There will be more adverse weather with snow and lowering temperature.
I've successfully ice fished as late as April, so there is plenty of time left. I've also limited within an hour.
If you've ever wanted to give it a try, go for it. It really is a lot of fun.
Current fishing
Lake Pardee: Remember, the lake opens to fishing Friday, Feb. 16, with the gates opening the day before for those wishing to camp.

The Academic Common Market is an association of 16 states (Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia). The ACM allows public colleges and universities in member states to share specified academic degree programs. This is accomplished through an exchange of students across borders at in-state tuition rates, with the receiving institution paying the out-of-state portion of tuition. Approximately 30 programs are available to UA students through the ACM; the Colleges of Commerce and Business Administration and Human Environmental Sciences do not participate; and no programs will be added in the future. In the table at http://acm.ua.edu, there is a list of the degree programs available at UA for a particular states residents.
UA freshmen or undergraduate transfer students must have earned at least a 25 ACT composite score or 1130 SAT composite score (math and critical reading only) plus at least a 3.0 overall high school GPA to be considered for an ACM tuition grant at UA. The admission test score and high school GPA both are minimum criteria, and there is not an appeal process for students failing to meet one or both. Students must have been admitted to UA before they can apply for an ACM tuition grant. Students complete the brief application form at the UA ACM Web site to initiate ACM consideration. Graduate students must have been admitted to one of the selected masters or doctoral programs appearing in the UA table of approved ACM programs in order to apply for an ACM tuition grant.
For continuing support after the first semester and for every subsequent semester of ACM support, each UA ACM undergraduate or graduate student must maintain at least a 3.00 overall GPA on all UA coursework attempted. Grades earned on transfer courses are not considered in the UA overall GPA for ACM purposes. Maintaining a 3.0 or higher GPA is in addition to the long-standing requirement that an ACM-supported student must maintain residency in the same state and stay in the same major in which the student was certified initially.
The University of Alabama Graduate School administers all ACM programs and has a designated institutional ACM coordinator. For complete information about the ACM at UA, visit http://acm.ua.edu.

Government planning and projects, economic development efforts, health care reform, area schools and the natural gas industry were all topics at the eighth annual State of the Community luncheon on Thursday, Feb. 14.
Around 200 people attended the event, sponsored by the Rifle Area Chamber of Commerce at Grand River Hospital's ballroom.
Garfield County
Commissioner Mike Samson of Rifle said the state of the county was "very good," and mentioned five master plans had either been completed or were under way: energy, the county landfill, facilities, fleet management and how the county's regional airport outside Rifle can help spur business growth.
"Garfield County has around 500 workers, and they help contribute $1.2 million into our local economies," Samson added.
The county's Federal Mineral Leasing District was established in the last year and has distributed millions of dollars in energy-related tax funds to local governments in the county, Samson continued.
"We also want to start what we're calling monthly 'CEO breakfasts' with the
commissioners, so we can get the input of business leaders from across the county on economic development strategies," Samson said.
This year is expected to be similar to last year in terms of the local economy, Samson added.
"On a down note, our tax revenue from property taxes will go down with the new assessed valuations," he said. "So we'll just tighten our belt tighter in 2014. But we've been wise stewards of the county's money and we'll continue to be in good shape."
City of Rifle
Mayor Jay Miller recounted the status of the city's new $25 million water treatment plant that's scheduled to start construction this spring, along with passage of the 3/4 cent sales tax hike in November.
"That was a wonderful opportunity for us to go back and help lower the increase in your water bills," Miller said.
The hiring of John Dyer as the new police chief, to replace the retired Daryl Meisner after 39 years, was a highlight of the past year, Miller said.
A downtown strategic planning process was begun, Miller continued, that led to an action plan to help guide future downtown development.
The city also dealt with unexpected events, such as a flash flood along Hubbard Gulch that sent mud into the amphitheater and other areas of Centennial Park this past summer.
"The thing about that was the amphitheater was designed to handle a flood with mud and debris and it did what it was designed to do," Miller said. "I was proud of our city crews, too, because they had it all cleaned out and washed away in five hours. You would have never known it happened."
The flood also took out the 12th Street steel culvert, which was replaced with a sturdier concrete box culvert and bridge, Miller noted.
Infrastructure was installed at the city's Energy Innovation Center site, next to the wastewater treatment plant, which was also the site of a compost operation that was shut down last summer due to odor problems, Miller said.
Sidewalks were improved or replaced, Airport Road was overlaid and Fifth Street, which Miller called "the worst street in town," was replaced and a new water line was installed to better serve area residents.
Other street projects included 16th Street to Graham Mesa Elementary School and improvements to the confusing three-way intersection of Colorado Highway 13, U.S. Highway 6 and White River Avenue, Miller continued.
An important improvement was repairs to the city's water intake dike along the Colorado River, which was damaged by high water in 2011, Miller said.
"If we had lost that intake, it would have been a complete disaster," he added.
Large rocks were placed along the bank of the intake pond to help prevent future damage.
This year, Miller said the city is looking to finish the renovation and repairs to the New Ute Events Center.
"We have the money in the budget, but council has not decided to spend it yet until we know what our funding looks like" this year, Miller stated.
Economic development
Last year was challenging in terms of economic development, said Rifle Regional Economic Development Corp. President Michael Langhorne.
"But that only reaffirmed the need for our efforts to continue," he added.
Last year was also the first the nonprofit group had taken a "regional" approach to economic development, Langhorne noted. Representation included Parachute, Battlement Mesa and New Castle, with the Grand Valley Economic Development Committee helping with the first "Taste Fest" for restaurants in Parachute and Battlement Mesa, Langhorne said.
A meet-your-business and business mentor program was also started by that committee, he added.
The New Castle Economic Advisory Committee helped produce a brochure to attract an outdoor recreation retailer, Langhorne said, and worked with an assisted living center prospect. He also noted the town has a year-long celebration planned for its 125th anniversary this year.
In Rifle, the first year's receipts from the Brenden Theaters, as repayment to the city for helping lower the costs of locating the movie theater in Rifle, were made.
The city of Rifle received $81,000 in lease payments last year under a 10-year agreement, Langhorne continued. The $6 million theater project was built with $3.5 million going to local contractors, he said.
Through November, Langhorne said the theaters sold 107,000 movie tickets, which represented sales of $1.4 million. Wages paid to theater workers were around $200,000 Langhorne said.
"Those 107,000 people were slightly less than what Brenden had hoped, but they weren't unhappy either," Langhorne said. "We're continuing to work on other lots in Rifle Creek Plaza, which is where the theater is located."
Other accomplishments included the start up of a Main Street program to help downtown businesses and a $1 a year lease of the former Snow White Linen property to serve as the site of community events, Langhorne said.
Health care reform
The state of the U.S. health care system and the issue of health care reform was explained by Grand River Hospital District CEO Jim Coombs, who noted "we won't have reform until we improve personal behaviors."
"Cutting funding for K-12 education and public health has more impact on our health care costs and healthy behaviors over time," Coombs said.
Grand River, Coombs added, "has shamelessly borrowed from the best health care operators around the country" in reaction to reform efforts.
Garfield School District Re-2 Superintendent Dr. Susan Birdsey said education also faces changes. However, she said things like unified improvement plans required by the state of Colorado "can help us understand where our students are academically and what we need to focus on" to improve.
"This year is the first time in a long time we've seen some small improvements in our math scores," Birdsey continued.
She also recounted how a student she had to expel seemed to turn around, was nominated for student of the year and made the honor roll the next year.
"This student is now a class leader by example," Birdsey said. "We always strive to make that kind of connection with all students, to find out what makes each student tick, so they can tick better."
The district's switch to a four-day school week this year has had no negative impact on student achievement through the first six months of the school year, Birdsey added, according to quarterly assessments.
"We have 13 more students this year than last year and the numbers of students in our free or reduced lunch program has dropped," Birdsey said.
State per pupil funding has declined by six percent in the last five years, she said, while the consumer price index has increased by that amount.
The district has cut $3 million from its budget over the last three years, and this year the district hoped for a modest increase in state funds, she continued.
"We have a rainy day fund and we decided that it's raining," Birdsey said. "So the school board has decided to drawn down our fund balance by $2 million over the next two years."
On a positive note, Birdsey said the student health center the district opened along with the hospital district had seen 573 patients and had more than 1,000 patient visits. And the "Gus the Bus" program that uses a refitted school bus to visit specific neighborhoods and allow preschool-aged children get an early start on their education has served more than 50 children, Birdsey said.
Close to 100 students are taking dual enrollment courses at Colorado Mountain College while they are in high school, she noted.
Natural gas
The increase in natural gas development in the much more populated Front Range of Colorado has led to the industry moving to a "misinformation management mode," said Western Slope Colorado Oil and Gas Association Executive Director David Ludlam.
The move was felt necessary to counteract what the industry feels is misleading and false information from well-funded national environmental groups, Ludlam said.
"We felt a need to put things in their proper context," he added.
Communities on the Front Range have reacted to drilling plans within their boundaries by imposing moratoriums and taking other steps, Ludlam said. Even Colorado Springs, perhaps the state's most conservative city, "wants nothing to do with drilling," he added.
Advertising campaigns, community outreach and industry mobilization are all steps the industry has or plans to take in response, Ludlam said.
For instance, Ludlam said hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, of gas wells uses just .8 percent of all water in Colorado, similar to snowmaking at the state's ski resorts.
"In fact, the combustion of methane actually releases more water into the air than we will ever use in fracking," he noted. "This all just shows that we need to take control of the environmental message when it comes to drilling."
Ludlam also said the industry planned to point out the "philosophical inconsistency" among those in the environmental movement who advocate for a lifestyle without natural resource development, but with "no cohesion with what they actually do in their lives."
"We have to do a better job of working with people and reconnect them with all that energy is and does," Ludlam said.

Michael Jackson's iconic and sprawling Neverland Ranch will be put on the market.
Colony Capital currently owns a primary stake in the California property after a deal made in 2007, when it purchased the $23 million loan Jackson owed to private investment group, Fortress Investment.
A representative for Jackson's estate says in a statement, "We are saddened at the prospect of the sale of Neverland which, under the agreement negotiated during Michael's lifetime, Colony has the right to sell. The estate will maintain Michael's family home in Encino, including its iconic recording studio there… We hope and trust that any new owners of Neverland will respect the historical importance and special nature of this wonderful property."
Jackson bought the property, which counts a train, amusement park rides, and pool among its amenities, in 1988. He stayed there until his child molestation trial in 2004.

Trial lawyers and defense attorneys are at opposite ends of the tort reform issue. That was made plain Friday by Katherine Kirby, president of the Mississippi Defense Lawyers Association in her talk to the Lauderdale County Bar Association.
"My organization has not voted as a group," said Kirby. "I, as the president however, have received input and comment from a huge number of its 600 members and the consensus is in favor of general civil court reform."
Kirby, who is from Columbus, specializes in civil rights, employment law and public entity defense.

The frustration of seeing extra pounds on the scale—or of a too-tight waistband that you know used to fit—is understandable. But did you know that anything from a hormonal imbalance to vitamin deficiencies to the prescription meds you take can hold clues to what's making you gain weight? "A lot of people make what we think are lifestyle choices but are actually our bodies reacting to factors we can't control," says Robert J. Hedaya, MD, clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown University Medical Center. "Whether it's hormonal, a medication side effect, or something else, too often we put the onus on the individual, and there are factors that sometimes justify a doctor's help."

Hello everyone!
My husband and I are planning to start a family very soon so, consequently, I am planning way ahead! :o) As a doula and someone who is very familiar with natural childbirth, I am eager to have a homebirth. Currently, however, we live in a small apartment that doesn't have the greatest "soundproofing." I'm concerned (having not experienced labor yet for myself) that giving birth at home may not be an option for us. If I feel the need to vocalize in labor, for example, will I feel inhibited for fear that I'll disturb the neighbors? There is a birth center somewhat close by that we could deliver at, but I just love the idea of giving birth at home.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

LOL! That is so funny and and so true Becky!
Thanks for the reminder :)
Home is where the heart is, I had my homebirth in an apartment.
I was completly instictual, did my share of moaning and screaming.
A few days later I went to tell the neighbors and apoligize if I had caused any disturbance.
All neighbors said they had not been bothered and that they taught it was pretty cool I had given birth at home. Since I gave birth at 2 am, I think they just thought we were having noisy sex.
Hey Sarah,
I was in your same situation when I was pregnant with my son. We live in a small condo building and we can hear when our neighbors come home, take a shower, watch tv, etc. I was worried that I would make a lot of noise and people who wonder what was going on in our condo. However when the day came, it was a Saturday and I labored and gave birth during the day. NO ONE knew I had the baby. The lady who lives directly below me saw me a couple of days later and noticed my belly was gone. She was shocked when I told her I had the baby upstairs in the condo. She said she did not hear me AT ALL. Believe me I was vocalizing.
All that to say, that if you really want a homebirth, DO NOT worry about disturbing your neighbors. The probably won't even notice.
Good Luck on your journey!
Oh, thank you, ladies! This has been really helpful! I now feel like giving birth at home may actually be feasible. Here's hoping! :o)
Does anyone have any experience with both a homebirth and a birth center birth? Any pros and cons of either? Any benefit of giving birth in a center over giving birth at home?
Thanks again!!
We talked to all of our neighbors about our plans and apologize in advance about any noise, we offered to give earplugs to anybody that would be worried about not being able to sleep.
When the day came we hung a sign on our front door along the lines of "woman in labor, the noise will stop when the baby is born", we were never bothered and I labored for over 30 hours.
I gave birth in the middle of the night in an upstairs apartment. The only reason my landlord who lives below knew anything about it is because we had to wake him up to boil water on his stove to fill the birth pool!!! Long story - partner in accident days before birth, hot water heater waiting to be fitted....however despite the circumstances it was a perfectly serene and calm birth. You can read my full story on my blog post http://onelovelivity.com/childofnatureblog/?p=874
I totally recommend hypnobirthing wherever you give birth as it will definitely make you feel more relaxed, at ease and at one with your body and baby. All good wishes Mama!
I know I'm late here, but I just wanted to say that: yes you can. I did. My landlords actually live upstairs, and I guess one of them thought she heard me singing the day I was giving birth. Yeah, I hear them arguing over breakfast every day, but they didn't know I was giving birth. I wasn't completely quiet, and I wasn't screaming, but I'm not sure how she got 'singing'. haha
Make sure home birth is not forbidden in the lease (believe it or not, some include such a provision because they just don't want it to happen on their property--their right I suppose). If it's not, the landlord has no say in it. So don't tell him/her. I would recommend not telling your neighbors either so that your landlord doesn't hear about it from a tenant (more likely than you think, someone would complain directly to your landlord) and try to stop you. Many landlords would discourage you homebirthing, even though legally they have no recourse unless it's in the lease---but what an unpleasant situation.
Then, after the birth, smoothing things over later with a Thank You note is appropriate. Because at this point neighbors are more likely to be supportive rather than try to "tsk, tsk" you or discourage you somehow, which is ridiculously annoying--and why would they do that when you've already given birth and everyone's fine?
With home birth, why give someone advance warning to try to stop you? The neighbors will, because 90% of Americans don't understand home birth at all ("She is wanting to give birth at home, in her apartment. Isn't that incredibly crazy and unsafe? Shouldn't someone do something?")
Honestly, if it comes down to it, I'd rather get knocks at the door and have the doula or dh field the neighbors' questions on the birthing day, than an angry landlord knocking at my door 2 weeks before I'm due telling me to birth elsewhere or face eviction (which usually isn't a legal possibility, but the stress of dealing with this is the issue). And there are landlords like this. It's pretty unlikely that your landlord would get wind of what's going on in time to do anything that day. So I would recommend not saying anything. You can go either way.
A little late, but I figured you can never hear it too many times!
All three of our kids were born at home, our first two we were living in a little cabin on 65 acres of land in the woods of western Montana. Our 3rd was just born on 12/8/10. This time we live in the "city" of Missoula in an apartment. We're located on the 2nd floor, sandwiched between 2 apartments above & below & 2 more on either side of us.
My husband was apprehensive at first and wanted to tell the neighbors that we were having a homebirth. I didn't want that just in case there was something against homebirthing in the building and I didn't want them to tell us no (although I would have done it anyways). So Marley was born on December 8th and a few weeks later Ray spoke to our neighbors- they had NO idea we birthed at home, and I was very vocal (thanks to a horrible cervical lip & a slipped disc in the ol' back).
Don't worry about the neighbors, do your thing, birth that baby at home. You'll be just fine & you'll do amazing- I know it!

When college basketball's Final Four landed in Atlanta this year, I got a chance to experience the tournament's excitement up close with my cousin Michael and his son Dan.
They introduced me to their friends—coaches, former players and devoted fans. I don't know much about basketball, but I got a sense of school, game and sporting values from the event that leaders of the basketball program at Rutgers University should have learned a long time ago. The university's head basketball coach Mike Rice was fired April 3 for engaging in abusive, unprofessional treatment of his players.
During the week leading up to the Final Four, video clips surfaced showing multiple incidents involving Rice screaming, shoving, cursing and throwing basketballs at his players.
No one in Michael's and Dan's group is a lawyer or HR professional. But they all know the sport. I asked them what they thought about Rice's conduct as Rutgers' head basketball coach. They'd watched the video, heard the stories and were unanimous: "They all have to go."
They meant Rice, athletic director Timothy Pernetti, university President Robert Bianchi, and maybe others. What they read and saw enraged them.
They didn't need months to figure out whether to determine if some state statute or federal law may have been breached or whether there were procedural defenses from blunt legal risk in visibly abusive, out-of-bounds acts.
The point you don't do this to students; they're young adults and that's not how to motivate them or treat them. That's not what student athletics is all about.
Days after the tape aired, Rutgers fired Rice. A few days later, the athletic director resigned.
A day or so before the Final Four started, Rutgers released an investigative report of the incident prepared by the firm of Conley. It dissects the specific incidents, attempts to present them it in the context of a team trying to improve its culture and performance. Overall, the legal analysis concluded that while Rice's conduct might warrant dismissal, it did not violate any applicable statutes.
Too bad legal reports can't be scored like basketball games, as this one would have fouled out on technicals. Arguing, for example, that multiple episodes of abusive conduct need to be considered in the context of hours of "proper" behavior, as the report did, is akin to saying that a physically abusive spouse should not be prosecuted because he or she only beat their mate up badly once or twice during their marriage.
We don't need to look at conduct that narrowly in our athletic, academic or industrial workplaces. There are many violations that can withstand legal scrutiny but not principles of basic human decency.
Rutgers is a fine institution committed to building a respectful community. Parsing abusive conduct without regard to its impact on that community, its organizational values, reputation and overall brand is narrow, shortsighted and unworthy of the university.
It also poses an object lesson for other employers, executives and organizations. Limit yourselves to looking at behavior through a small legal lens and the losses you suffer may be far worse than a single claim or lawsuit will ever be.
Leaders who myopically accept such analyses abdicate their decision making and leadership roles when they do. They also create extraordinary risk. For many schools, it's a disappointment not to qualify for the Final Four, let alone March Madness.
But seeing your students abused, clearly outrageous behavior ignored, and your reputation besmirched is a disaster.

I mean, ocne you add these pockets - you pretty much are into a BC jacket-like config.
PS If I order a PONY, to ship 3-day, does the valve have to be removed to ship it?
The weight system or ABS made by Halcyon is a two part system.
1- is the pocket that attaches to the SS Back Plate and the belt slips thru the pocket to keep them from hanging down your side.
2- The weight pouch, which is then inserted into the pocket and uses a combination of zelco and buckle to keep the weight secure. The advantage to this system is that you CAN NOT loose your weight on accident, is more stream line, and more comfortable. And you it is with in the GUE/DIR Standards and infact most of the design was thought up by members of GUE/DIR.....
Without a doubt, i'd rather stay dry then dive anything else.

The Ohio general election is Nov. 6, 2012. Testing of the AP's reporting system began Monday, Oct. 1, 2012.
Here are the details:
—BC-OH-Pres-SumOth added to PREMIUM ELECTIONS RESULTS VIA DIGITAL FEEDS (ANPA-FTP, APEO-FTP, HOSTED)
—BC-OH-TopRaces-Glance report changed to BC-OH-TopRaces-Glance-SumA
—BC-US--General Election Tests-National Reports,Advisory deleted from MEMBER CHOICE COMPLETE/LIMITED
—Poll closing: 7:30 p.m. Eastern
—Election night results: First returns are expected before 8:00 P.M. Eastern.
—Race calls: AP will make race calls during testing and on Election Night, unless they are too close to call. No races will be called before the 7:30 p.m. poll closing time. Race call alerts can be found on Webfeeds and on the print and broadcast wires, in the following format:
Date Time,,
BULLETIN (AP) — Candidate Name, Party, wins State.
Date Time,,
BULLETIN (AP) — Candidate Name, Party,elected U.S. House, District nn, State.
—Uncontested races: AP will not tabulate uncontested races. A list of the races, OH-Uncontested, will move to premium services subscribers at ftp://electionsonline.ap.org/OH/anpa/ and to state news and broadcast wires.
—Winners: AP will send a list of unofficial winners in called races at the end of its Election Night results tabulation. The winners list also will be sent during each test. Premium services subscribers will find OH- Winners at ftp://electionsonline.ap.org/OH/anpa/.
—End of Election Night results tabulation: AP will advise when it has concluded tabulating results in its Election Night reporting system, which is generally at 5 p.m. local time the day after the election.
President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney were locked in a close race in the perennial battleground state where the economy was the top issue. Obama won Ohio by 5 percentage points in 2008, when pocketbook issues also were first on voters' minds. The candidates and their running mates campaigned often and advertised heavily in the state on themes that included trade, the auto industry bailout and taxes.
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat running for a second term, was challenged by Republican state Treasurer Josh Mandel in a race that drew millions from outside interest groups.
There are 24 counties with more than one Congressional District.
The state lost two Congressional seats after redistricting, and now has 16 seats. The redrawn congressional districts forced a contest between two incumbents in northeast Ohio, as third-term Democrat Betty Sutton challenged first-term Republican Jim Renacci. Longtime Democratic U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur faced Republican Samuel Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber. He was put into the political spotlight after questioning Barack Obama about taxes during the 2008 presidential campaign.
—AP will test its reporting system beginning Monday, Oct. 1 and continue through Monday, Nov. 5, the day before Election Day. Testing will take place every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during this time, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern.
—There will be a test transmission from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern on Nov. 6, Election Day, but it will only include zero vote totals.

Databases can change up to Election Day.
—Capture each day's test during the test period, including the Monday test immediately preceding the Tuesday election. Ensure you have the latest updates and that tables include votes for every candidate in every race and that every race goes to 100 percent of precincts reporting, unless otherwise noted in an advisory.
—All tables are reported on every 5-7 minutes to digital services during testing and on Election Night.
—All tables will move to news and broadcast wires during each day's hour long test. Note that the frequency that reports run during tests may not reflect the Election Night schedule as detailed below. For example, county tables that Member Choice subscribers see during the hour long tests will move to that service only once after midnight on Election Night. Premium service subscribers should note the scheduled frequency of results that will move to their regular AP news and broadcast services, in addition to the results that will move to their FTP folders.

|Local school board recognized; King elected to CHSAA Legislative Council
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Holyoke School District Re-1J Board of Education was well represented at the Nov. 29-Dec. 2 annual convention of the Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.
At the Dec. 1 business meeting, Holyoke board member Jon King campaigned for and was elected to a three-year term on the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) Legislative Council.
CHSAA's Legislative Council, formerly Board of Control, is made up of 69 representatives from local leagues across the state, additional representatives from larger leagues, three representatives from the state's superintendents and five members of CASB, representing specified areas in the state.
King was elected to represent CASB regions 1 and 4.
Jon King
In a solid commitment for involvement, the local board and Superintendent Bret Miles presented a breakout session Friday during the CASB convention.
The board's breakout session was titled, "It's Not Good, It's Just What We Do," touting practical strategies and tools for boards from other board members.
Presenters were board members Jeff Tharp, Kris Camblin, Linda Jelden, King and Dennis Herman, as well as Miles.
Through the All State Board of Education application process, the local board was one of four in the state recognized as a Distinguished School Board at the recent convention.
Miles noted, "I'm very proud to work for this dedicated group." Board member Jelden praised Miles, saying he has "really helped all of us become better board members individually and as a team."
Holyoke also took three HHS juniors to participate in the student strand of the convention. They were Meg Strauss, Brenda Hernandez and Brittney Prottsman.
Strauss and Hernandez attended the Dec. 4 school board meeting to share about their experience and talk about the role of student leadership in the district.
At the local meeting, board president Jeff Tharp was presented with a gift for attending what was his last CASB convention for his eight-year term on the board.
It was also noted that three local students had art displayed at the CASB convention. They included Kyla Strecker, Kaitlyn Kent and Genesis Iniguez.
Joyce Barkey recognized
The board was also pleased to share the good news that former Holyoke teacher Joyce Barkey was given the Demont Award at the CASB convention.
Barkey is currently serving as principal in the Otis School District. The Demont Award recognizes rural administrators who have made a difference in students' lives.

I like Green Day- long-time
I like Green Day- long-time fan. I actually love you guys, almost just as much as Mary J.- ha ha. But I think you guys should go back to your older style of music- lose the auto-tuners. If you feel like what I just said is an expired piece of bull leading to conflict, that's fine... I just kind of miss it, I know I'm not the only one, and you guys are really my favorite band. But (and again, I'm not the only one) I think that things are being replaced. An example would be Heavy Metal with Screamo. I tend to like SOME Screamo, but I don't want one of my favorite genre's to be replaced and forgotten. I mean, literally my goal is to get older music to come back and stay. If you guys aren't on board, okay fine- I don't care. But it WOULD mean a lot to me and a lot to others if you guys at least promoted the idea. Thanks for taking your time to read this! ~ACS

Please answer me this: What's
Please answer me this: What's the FUCKING reason of blocking lyrics on TuneWiki on spotify? Are you for real, in claiming that you're losing licensing money on this, or are you just fucking retarded? Perhaps you don't believe in the "disgrace" that fans don't understand the whole of the lyrics and don't want to admit that there may be reason that people don't get all the words? There is no disgrace in people not getting the whole context of lyrics and it's no criticism to the artist, to let fans read them in text.

My husband introduced me to
My husband introduced me to your music when we had met 16 years ago and I was hooked. It got him thru a lot of hard times and pumped him up when he wasn't feeling good. He had battled Lupus for 19 years. This May 17th will be 4 years since he passed away. He was a big fan of yours. With that said...I just wanted to say "thank you" you gave him joy and something to relate to. I will always be a fan.

I was a casual Green Day fan
I was a casual Green Day fan until I saw the ShoTime special. I'm a hardcore music fanatic and now a huge Green Day fan. The ShoTime special along with learning what American Idiot was all about was one of the most moving experiences of my life. Not only was Billie Joe's talent amazing, the cast of the broadway show was phenomenal. I am planning my trip to my first broadway show, American Idiot in New York. It will be amazing.

Hey dear, the individual Mafia is here
You didn't know? Well god bless your ears
Don't follow that crowd except to a concert
Where you can hear some great music monsters
But let's not call it a Mafia or fear
just a mindset for tunies, gravitations to hear
Independence means they don't rule your interior!
Feel that music just ride where the waves went.
Hey guess what?
It's time to learn
About what makes
The world burn
The careless thoughts
The mind you brought
To the meeting with all your screaming
Over butt you have no place
In helping us or my personal space
Teasing controlling imitating lame
Because I have a stance that has
Some train of thoughts that lead a lot
Instead of your useless cynical thoughts
Wht's your transaction?
Why are you here,
Just to make this place
Uncopeable space
You parasite with government might
Who ignores the laws
That should protect my rights
To be the better thinker I am here in spite
Of lame assed fags in the FBI
I'm the individual who garnered no crew
I'm only one man and I'll tell it straight to you
I carry ideas of true independence
Where your free to be crafty idealistically
Making words that sing about beauty with bite
Black widows are friends if you don't molest them
I've done it all with only one friend and that's wise of myself

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
St. Petersburg, FL -- Investigators say a Tampa Bay area couple suspected of kidnapping their two sons from the woman's parents have made it to Cuba.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is now working with the FBI, who is in contact with the U.S. State Department, to verify the information, according to an official statement.
Authorities say Joshua Hakken entered his mother-in-law's house north of Tampa last week, tied her up and fled with his young sons. Authorities had been searching by air and sea for a boat Hakken recently bought. The truck the family had been traveling in was found late Thursday, abandoned in a parking garage in Madeira Beach.
The boys had been living since last year with their maternal grandparents, who were granted permanent custody last Tuesday.
Now at issue is the welfare of the two Hakken boys, Chase and Cole. The U.S. Interest Section in Cuba released its own statement, saying it is aware of this case and it's in contact with local authorities.
"U.S. officials are providing all appropriate assistance to the family," the statement added. "Because of privacy reasons, we are unable to provide any additional information. One of the Department's highest priorities is the welfare of U.S. citizens overseas. This is particularly true for children, who are our most vulnerable citizens. The Department works with parents and foreign governments to resolve these difficult cases."
If the Hakken family is in Cuba, it would not be difficult to understand how. Joshua Hakken is reportedly an experienced sailor, and his choice of sea vessel indicates he was highly calculated and knew exactly what he was doing. The vessel is a Morgan 25, and sailing experts say it was a clever choice.
Jim DeSanto gave 10 News a tour of his own Morgan 25. He said it has surprisingly ample room to accommodate four people. There's bed-space, eating areas, a galley with a stove, sitting areas, and storage for food and water in the small hull.
DeSanto said among people -- even with limited sailing experience -- the Morgan 25 has a solid reputation as an almost-perfect combination of livability and durability.
"This boat sails so well that one man can single-hand it in almost any conditions," said DeSanto.
Space and speed also make the Morgan more than capable of traveling long distances. And for that reason, DeSanto believes Hakken chose this particular kind of boat.
"I don't think it's an accident. If he had this planned out, it wasn't an accident," he said.
The thing about the Morgan 25 is that it can operate almost anywhere. With its centerboard down, it draws only about three feet, enabling it to reach into back canals and possibly hide. With the centerboard down, it can handle seas of 10 to 12 feet.
"He can go wherever he wants to go, and hide out wherever he wants to hide out," said DeSanto.
"I don't know of a boat I'd rather be on to do a journey like that than a Morgan," said St. Pete Yacht broker Page Obenshain.
Obenshain should know. He actually helped design the Morgan 25 with its creator, Charlie Morgan, half a century ago, and sailed on the very first one ever produced.
The boat may be small, but with enough provisions it can travel the world, he said.
"They're overbuilt. Their built well. So the choice was excellent," said Obenshain.
On Monday, investigators still searching for the Hakkens and their two young sons released another, clearer picture of the Morgan 25 they were last seen on. It's blue with the name "Salty" and a paw print painted on the sides.
Detectives say Hakken bought the vessel a few weeks ago as part of what appears to be an elaborate getaway plan.
"The good news on that is that we now know people are out looking. We know that this is a priority, not only for us, but for the public," said Hillsborough County Sheriff's Det. Larry McKinnon.
Jim DeSanto, who is also a member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, says he was out on the water Sunday with many others looking for the Hakken's boat.
Again, if you come across them, you're asked not to approach the family. Call 911.

MIAMI -- Authorities say a third person has died in the collapse of a parking garage under construction at a community college in Florida.
The latest victim was pulled from the rubble early Thursday, some 13 hours after the five-story structure fell, creating a pancake-like collapse.
RELATED | Man rescued from collapsed garage
Police spokesman Javier Baez says the man died at a Miami trauma center. He added that the mission has now turned into a recovery effort and officials are expecting to find another body in the rubble.
At least 10 other workers were hurt when the roof of the five-story concrete garage fell on the campus of Miami-Dade College.
Officials are working to determine whether anyone else is missing.
Miami-Dade Fire-Rescue spokeswoman Griselle Marino says dogs, firefighters and other people in hard hats walked over piles of concrete, plywood and metal rubble to look for other possible victims.
Victoria Buczynski of Miami said she saw the collapse while she was working at Gurkha Cigars across the street from the construction site at the Miami-Dade College.
"It fell to the ground like a house of cards," Buczynski said. "The construction workers started running out, screaming. It was loud. Our entire building shook."
The large section of the nearly completed five-story garage fell shortly before 11:40 a.m. No students were in the area at the time, authorities said.
Four workers were taken to the hospital, including one in serious condition, Marino said. Three others were treated by paramedics at the scene.
The construction site looked like a typical one. A large crane stood beside the pile of rubble. Pickup trucks, a trash bin and tractor-trailer were nearby, as were ladders, a cooler and piles of wood and metal.
The construction of the 1,855-space garage appeared to be nearly complete. Ground was broken on the $22.5 million project in February, and it was to be completed in December, according to the website of the contractor, Ajax Building Corp.
The first floor was to have classroom and office space. The structure is nestled closely near to other buildings at the college, which serves about 8,000 students and is one of several campuses in the Miami-Dade College system. This campus opened in 2006.

Roast Pairing #4: Noncomformists
Is it right for a coffee buyer to ask producers who have traditionally Wet-Processed their coffees to suddenly Dry-Process small lots? The results from this week's pairing would indicate that it is right, to a point. The wonderful Wet-Process Centrals that we know and love should continue to have success but changing tastes and greater awareness about coffee processing in the coffee shops and roasters around the world clear a path for flavor profiles like these two coffees. The Mexico Nayarit was roasted to around 437 degrees which took about 16 minutes on the Probat while the Guatemala Oriente behaved quite differently in the roaster with first crack coming on later (around 420 degrees) and finally being dumped at 442 degrees at about 16:30 minutes. One thing is that these coffees achieve the right balance between fruit and chocolate when taken darker than their wet proccessed brethren, so both were roasted to Full City levels. Both coffees have a wonderful appearance in the green state with amber skins on a few beans and when roasted have a fruited berry dry fragrance and sweet chocolate flavors in the cup. Here at Sweet Maria's we try to think outside what is normally done for one purpose: outstading quality in the cup. When Tom and I cupped the results from these two roasts we were both smiling at the strange experience of drinking Central American coffees with distinctly African and Indonesian flavor characteristics, we think this kind of dismantling of "received wisdom" is an important part of understanding the wonderful crop that coffee has become. As long as the Dry-Processing of coffee is done in the proper manner with great attention to detail and storage there is no telling what new flavor profiles might emerge. As we all know, quality begins at the farm level and as home roasters we can ensure that each lot we purchase can reveal the hard work of the farmer and miller. This pairing proves you can teach new regions old tricks with fantastic results. –Josh

General Comments
I have a hard time seeing a degree granted by an institution as an affiliation with that corporate body as the term is commonly understood. To me it seems more like biographical information about the person (RDA 9.17).
Also, there is a general problem in RDA that atomized elements like "position within affiliated body" and "date of affiliation" are meaningless unless these elements are appropriately linked to each other. A person can have affiliations with more than one body and can have different affiliations with these bodies at different times. I don't see that RDA has a mechanism for making these links. --Jhostage 08:58, 11 July 2011 (CDT)
A consideration if we want to expand affiliation to incorporate degrees and degree granting affiliations is that to be consistent with the current scope, the position would be student and the date of affiliation would cover the dates of attendance. I don't think this serves our wishes as well as the type and date of the degree. I mention this not to throw water on the idea of expanding affiliation to cover this information, but to highlight the need to be careful in articulating this expansion so that it is conceptually coherent with the language that already exists. Myers, 2011/07/12
I agree with John Hostage that affiliations for degrees granted feel like they should fall under biographical information in RDA 9.17. I also agree with John Myers that if it were to be included here that the instructions would have to be carefully constructed. Not sure there is time for this if the proposal is to be completed within the next few days (but I am new here so forgive my ignorance). -- Lipcan, 2011/07/15
Proposed Revisions
At the discussions in New Orleans, it was suggested that the Position within Affiliated Body be generalized to cover (as Kathy Winzer suggested) a degree granted by a university.
Let me propose the following for discussion:
9.13.3 Nature of the Affiliation
126.96.36.199 Scope
The nature of the affiliation▼ is a statement indicating the specific nature of the affiliation between the person and the affiliated body.
18.104.22.168 Sources of Information
Take information on the nature of the affiliation from any source.
220.127.116.11 Recording the Nature of the Affiliation
Record the statement identifying the nature of the affiliation between the person and the affiliated body, e.g., the title of the position held within the body, the degree granted by a university.
======= DRAFT (end) ==========
-- John Attig, 7/4/11
In regard to "Element vs relationship", I don't see this as an "issue" or a "problem". Essentially, every element is a relationship. For example, the element "Date of publication" is a relationship between the manifestation and the date. That's sort of at the heart of how we have traditionally used relational databases (not to mention linked data), though not every element is taken to that extreme. Look at IMDB: the values of some attributes are given in the form of links. While strictly speaking these are formed not as relationships but rather as searches, the point of it is the same: it's a way of relating the title to the specific attribute, which is then related to other titles sharing the same attribute. It's one way of trying to accomplish something that could also be done by having the date as a separate entity and creating a link between the title and the date. Randall, 6/10/11
In its discussion of the extension of the extension of field 373 (Affiliation) to cover other types of associated bodies, MARBI noted that the definition of Affiliation was broad, not confined to formally-constituted corporate bodies, but included looser groups such as the Bloomsbury Group and the Algonquin Round Table. MARBI chose to name the field "Associated Group" to reflect this broad scope.
The FRAD element is narrowly defined as an affiliated corporate body. However, we are already extending the FRAD definition in this proposal. Should we generalize the scope of both the element and the "Affiliated Body" subelement (to "Affiliated Group")?
-- John Attig, 7/4/11
I just took a look at the definition of corporate body in RDA, and it looks pretty broad. From 11.0 "A body is considered to be a corporate body only if it is identified by a particular name (i.e., if the words referring to it are a specific appellation rather than a general description)" and "Ad hoc events ... are considered to be corporate bodies." Based on those two guidelines, I would think that we could call something like the Algonquin Round Table a corporate body.
If we did follow MARBI and not consider these groups to be corporate bodies, wouldn't RDA have to have a new element called Group? And how would we distinguish Group from Corporate Body? Rolla, 7/12/11
Concerning the disagreement between FRBR, FRAD, and RDA regarding the definition of "Corporate Body", we should keep in mind the fact that FRBR and FRAD are MODELS, not DICTATES. Further, they are in a state of evolution and moving targets as the reconciliation takes place across the FR family. I do not think slavish adherence to either is warranted. The purpose of models is to INFORM our efforts to develop a working cataloging code. Myers, 2011/07/12
Since it is always helpful to see examples that carry through from one element or subelement to another, I would suggest changing the explanatory note of the first example in 220.127.116.11 so that it corresponds to the first example in 126.96.36.199.
Professor Position of Ann E. Hajek within the Department of Entomology, Cornell University
I also have a suggestion for the final example you propose in 18.104.22.168. There should be an example that illustrates that a person may have had more than one title within a single affiliated body. Your Bernstein example can serve as this, and in fact, when you get to the dates section 22.214.171.124 you do record two separate ranges of dates. It would be good to have these correspond to the example in 220.127.116.11. So I would suggest changing it to:
Assistant Conductor Music Director Positions of Leonard Bernstein within the New York Philharmonic
- Glennan (PCC) for Adam Schiff, 7/14/11

P.S. I don't see how Larry David would represent bald men, 'cause he admittedly hates baldness and loathes in self-pity because of it. The guy is like 60 and he still isn't over it...
Enrique Iglesias could represent wig wearing men all over the world and try to make it more acceptable. If only he would come out of closet.
Also he could try to pose like this for his female fans with his real norwood revealed.
That'd be career suicide for Mr. Wiglesias.
It is curious though how his baldness is pretty much an open secret nowadays and always brought up in the comments sections of news (gossip) about the guy and on youtube etc. Yet the media have never said a word about it.
PS: Watch all of it
i think except for balding guys on hair loss sites everyone else is pretty oblivious of the fact that he's wearing.Originally Posted by joshua
