Light Craft: Art and Architecture Merge at Rice
Anchoring the western end of Rice University's main quad in Houston, James Turrell's new 118-foot-square Skyspace emerges from the earth in front of the monolithic Shepherd School of Music. "This is architecture that light and space makes," explains the artist. When the sun illuminates the atmosphere, you can't see through it to view the stars that are there, he points out. "Light not only reveals, it also obscures—so you can actually build a space with it. I use light and architecture in that way: to limit space and to reveal it, either way."

New Options for Sitelink Specificity with Google AdWords Enhanced Campaigns
Posted on Friday, June 21st, 2013 by Michelle Silverstein Print This Post
Categories - Featured, SEM
Beginning on July 22, all Google AdWords campaigns will be upgraded to Enhanced Campaigns in an effort to help advertisers manage their advertisements across multiple devices without having to manage and maintain multiple campaigns.
This transition also provides an additional way for advertisers to control sitelink specificity within their ads. Advertisers who have migrated their accounts can opt to show two description lines with each of their sitelinks. Previously, AdWords transplanted this extra sitelinks copy automatically. Now, advertisers can suggest specific text to appear in sitelink descriptions from within their AdWords account. This enhances the level of control available.
Because greater specificity in sitelink descriptions can lead to higher click-through rates, this new feature has a lot of potential to help advertisers garner more clicks.
According to Matt Grebow, Sr. Manager of SEM, the extra text allowed in enhanced sitelinks will have a number of effects on marketers' online campaigns—some good, some not-so-good. Matt offered these insights about enhanced sitelinks:
- Ads with extra sitelink text are more prominent than other paid-search ads, which helps them stand out from competing ads that include non-enhanced sitelinks.
- For a long time, sitelinks have provided a way for advertisers to offer searchers navigational choices, especially for general queries. This new feature will provide advertisers an easier way to hone their messages.
- Google will still have the final say about whether sitelinks show up with extra text or not, which makes reporting on the performance of different sitelink formats difficult.
What has been your experience with the new sitelink options? We'd love to hear!

H.S. football playoffs: Western Christian stampedes past Sage Hill
UPLAND – J.R. Tolver expected a shootout.
The Sage Hill coach knew it was going to take a Herculean offensive effort to defeat an undefeated Western Christian of Upland team. After the Lightning scored 50 points last week, he felt good about his offense.
But it took more than two quarters for Sage Hill's offense to find a spark and its defense could not stop the Lancers' rushing attack in a 55-35 loss on Friday in a CIF-SS East Valley Division playoff game at Western Christian High.
Sage Hill allowed 402 rushing yards, 220 to Western Christian running back Sarkis Panossian, who also scored three touchdowns.
The Lightning dug itself a 35-7 hole in the first half and trailed, 48-7, in the third quarter. Sage Hill strung together 21 unanswered points to get within 20 in the fourth quarter.
Western Christian (11-0) scored on its first five drives of the game, doing it with a powerful rushing attack. The Lightning (5-6) struggled all game to bring down Panossian, who broke off a 19-yard touchdown run to open the scoring midway through the first quarter.
He busted right down the center of the Sage Hill defense on the Lancers' second drive, scoring from 18 yards away to put his team ahead 14-0.
His third score, a 68-yarder, made it 35-7.
Western Christian scored on the first play from scrimmage in the second half, a 51-yard catch-and-run by Lee Orrin, to further bury the Lightning.
Sage Hill quarterback CJ McCord completed 30 of 56 passes for 276yards and two scores.
But it wasn't until the Lightning trailed by 41 that it began to sustain drives.
McCord threw a touchdown pass to Logan Hamilton to bring Sage Hill within 48-15. An 8-yard run by Jake Fisher brought the score to 48-21, and a 52-yard fumble return for a score by Sam Masarik brought the Lightning within 48-28 with 6:38 to go in the game.

DataMarket joins Qlik
We have some big news to share!
DataMarket has been acquired by one of the most innovative companies in the data and analytics space: Qlik.
For those of you that don't know Qlik, they – uh, I mean "we" – are the Business Intelligence vendor that pioneered the field of data discovery – a nimble, interactive and visual way to work with data that really disrupted the entire BI industry a few years back. With the recent launch of a next generation product – Qlik Sense – the BI process has been made even simpler with self-service discovery and visualizations that are so easy to use, anyone in an organization can build a visually compelling story using their data.
Qlik is a rapidly growing organization, with more than $470M in revenue last year, and publicly traded on NASDAQ since 2010.
We are not disclosing a lot about our joint plans at this time, but I'll still say that we see some very interesting opportunities in bringing together Qlik's superb analytics products, with DataMarket's unique abilities to pull in, maintain and normalize data from a vast range of 3rd party sources – all in an effort to fulfill the Qlik vision of simplifying decisions for everyone, everywhere.
Also – while headquartered in the US – Qlik is originally out of Sweden with most of their R&D efforts still there. Qlik has some unmistakably Scandinavian characteristics, and after getting to know the company over the last few months I can say that the cultural fit has felt completely natural.
So, for us DataMarketeers, a new and exciting chapter begins. You won't hear a lot from us in the next couple of months, but when we come back we'll have a new home on the Qlik blog on Qlik Community.
In the meantime we encourage you to learn more about Qlik:
- Take a look at the newly released Qlik Sense product
- Follow Qlik on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, and Instagram and read the blog at Qlik Community
Putting the world's data at students' fingertips!
We have some exciting news! ProQuest, a leading provider of information solutions to academia and government has chosen our Data Delivery Engine to bring vast collections of statistical data to millions of faculty, staff and students around the world.
The product – named ProQuest International DataSets – is being announced and demonstrated today at the ALA conference in Chicago and will be launched this fall. It brings together not only some of the macro-economic data collections that we have previously made available on DataMarket.com, but also new and exciting sources including some of ProQuest's own data collections and proprietary databases from Oxford Economics.
This is a major deal for us. Not only in the business sense, but also as it enables us to bring our technology and vision of putting the world's data at the fingertips of those that need it to an enormous new audience. We see this as a great recognition of what we've already built, and a motivation to achieve even more.
That said, this is only the first step in a partnership that is going to last for a long time and bear a lot of new fruit in the months and years to come.
For details, see the official press release.
DataMarket's new US office
DataMarket is setting up an office in the US. More specifically in Cambridge, Massachusetts. (Update: As of March 2013 we are in Boston's Financial District)
For those of you not familiar with the background, DataMarket is originally founded in Iceland in the summer of 2008. That's where our product team is – and will be – located. We initially launched our services here and for the local market mainly, but with the obvious intention to broaden our scope. The opportunity for an active market place for data is obviously a global one and certainly not limited to our tiny island of 320 thousand inhabitants!
In fact, today – January 24th – marks the first anniversary of our international data offering.
A lot has happened since. We've learned a bit about what works, and a lot about what doesn't in the emerging field of data markets. We've managed to build a significant and largely recurring revenue base, even though some of the revenues are coming from services we didn't necessarily foresee a year ago. We've established good connections with some of the most interesting data providers out there. And we've learned a lot from feedback from our users and customers. Some of that feedback has already been incorporated in our product and technology.
At the Strata conference in late February, we will announce a range of new features, subscription plans and data sources, all resulting from the lessons we've learned in the last 12 months. More on that later!
The US office is also a result of this learning curve. Despite all the wonders of modern communication technologies, location still matters. Nothing beats meeting people face to face, looking them in the eye, listening to them describe their challenges and watching their reaction to your demo, your pitch and your sales arguments. Hardly anything sells itself over the Internet. Even Google has an army of people doing traditional sales: wining and dining, manning call centers, networking, meeting, greeting and doing business like business has been done for ages. And they're Google!
Also, it turns out that there are more enterprise level opportunities in our business than we originally thought. And while data and feature subscription plans can indeed be marketed and sold online, enterprise solutions most certainly can not.
So, we're setting up an office in the United States to build out our sales, marketing and business development operations.
And why Cambridge? First of all, the East coast was almost a no-brainer for us. The industries that have expressed the most interest in what we are doing, the research, media and financial industries are stronger on the East coast than the West. Looking at our sales pipeline it's dominated by companies in Boston, New York and Washington D.C. This is also true of investors interested in the type of business we're building. To overgeneralize, the data start-ups we've seen funded on the West coast tend to be more in the social, consumer oriented end of the spectrum, while those on the East coast seem to be more of the B2B, business analytics, financial nature.
We had our eyes set pretty firmly on New York, but then in a few weeks timespan late last year we saw good success with a few really interesting leads in the Boston area. In fact we've already signed a couple of super-interesting customers there and there are more in the pipelines. The research industry is really strong in the Boston area and that industry seems to be quite interconnected giving us a lot of opportunities to work the network and get more business going for us. Last but not least we value being close to the great universities in the area. So Cambridge it is.
And the commute from Boston to New York quite convenient – especially compared to the commute from Iceland.
I (Hjalmar) will be moving over in a few weeks time to start building the team and our success in this very dynamic market. I'd be most interested in hearing from people that would like to join our team or look into opportunities in working with us. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Exciting times!

New study sheds light on cost of medications and perception of how well they work
A new study says that the cost of a medication may play a very important role in a patient's perception of whether it works.
People's perceptions of the cost of a drug may affect how much they benefit from the drug — even when they are receiving only a placebo. The finding, from a new study of people with Parkinson's disease led by Alberto J. Espay, M.D., of the University of Cincinnati, and Jerzy P. Szaflarski, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, is published in the Jan. 28, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
"Patients' expectations play an important role in the effectiveness of their treatments, and the placebo effect has been well-documented, especially in people with Parkinson's disease," said Espay, study author. "We wanted to see if the people's perceptions of the cost of the drug they received would affect the placebo response."
For the study, 12 people with Parkinson's disease were told that they would receive shots of two formulations of the same drug, with the second shot given after the benefits of the first shot had subsided. They were told that the formulations were believed to be of similar effectiveness, but that they differed in manufacturing cost — $100 per dose versus $1,500 per dose. Participants were told that the study was intended to prove that the drugs, while priced differently, were equally effective.
In reality, the participants received only a saline solution (placebo) for both injections, but were told they were receiving either the "cheap" or "expensive" drug first. Before and after each shot, participants took several tests to measure their motor skills and also had brain scans to measure brain activity.
"When patients received the 'expensive' drug first, their motor skills improved by 28 percent compared to when they received the 'cheap' drug, which was twice as much," said Szaflarski, senior author of the study while on the faculty at the University of Cincinnati. He now is director of the Division of Epilepsy in the Department of Neurology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "On one test of motor skills, people's scores improved from 29 to 22 points when taking the 'expensive' drug first, but improved by only 3 points when taking the 'cheap' drug. In addition, the 'expensive' drug decreased activation in the brain similar to that of the Parkinson's drug levodopa, while the 'cheap' drug increased activation in the brain," indicating differential responses to the medication cost.
"If we can find strategies to harness the placebo response to enhance the benefits of treatments, we could potentially maximize the benefit of treatment while reducing the dosage of drugs needed and possibly reducing side-effects," Espay said.
Espay says that the placebo response may be stronger in people with Parkinson's because the disease decreases the amount of dopamine in the brain and the placebo effect is known to increase the release of brain dopamine. Dopamine affects movement; but it also affects anticipation, motivation and response to new things. "People who receive the shots thinking they received a drug may have an 'expectation of reward' response, which is associated with the release of dopamine similar to the response to the reward itself," he said.
The study received extra scrutiny from the university's review board before it began, since it involved intentional deception of the participants. The review board found that the study complied with federal research regulations that allow waiver of the informed consent requirement, and that the deception would have no adverse effects on the rights or welfare of the participants.
After the study, the participants were told about the true nature of the study. "Eight of the participants said they did have greater expectations of the 'expensive' drug and were amazed at the extent of the difference brought about by their expectations," Espay said. "Interestingly, the other four participants said they had no expectation of greater benefits of the more expensive drug, and they also showed little overall changes."
The study was supported by the Davis Phinney Foundation for Parkinson's. To learn more about Parkinson's disease, please visit www.aan.com/patients.

UAB researcher receives grant to study decision-making abilities in cancer patients
A University of Alabama at Birmingham researcher has received an American Cancer Society Mentored Research Scholars grant to study long-term decision-making abilities in patients with advanced cancer.Kristen Triebel, Psy.D., assistant professor of neurology and director of the Neuropsychology Fellowship Training Program in the UAB Department of Neurology, has been awarded a five-year, $728,000 grant for her work titled "Decisional Capacity Evaluation in Metastatic Brain Cancer."
Metastasis, or the spread of a cancer from one organ or disease site to another,to the brain occurs in 25 percent of all individuals with cancer. Due to cognitive impairment, emotional distress and other changes occurring as a result of their severe illness, individuals with brain metastases frequently have reduced capacity to make well-informed decisions about their medical treatment. These decisions may include deciding among focused or whole-brain radiation, surgery, chemotherapy or palliative care, or whether to pursue experimental treatment. Surprisingly, decisional capacity is not routinely assessed in this patient population prior to patients' consenting to treatment.
The ACS grant allows Triebel to critically study patients with advanced cancer, including lung and breast cancer that has metastasized to the brain, and pancreatic cancer. She also will examine issues in these patients' treatments, cognitive function and quality of life.
"Patients with advanced cancer are seriously ill and have to make a lot of important medical decisions," said Triebel, an associate scientist in the Cancer Control and Population Sciences program at the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center."We are looking to see whether our initial findings from metastatic cancer patients can generalize to other cancer populations who have comparable levels of illness — even those who don't get tumors that spread to the brain."
According to Triebel, the goal is to be able to improve decision-making capacity. "We hope this research leads to better understanding of patients at risk, so we can advise on best practices for assessment and interventions to support patients in this capacity, ultimately improving their quality of life."
Triebel, who received a Center for Clinical and Translational Sciencegrant in 2012, leveraged that research into this five-year grant from ACS. "This award provides opportunities for me to grow a research program by fostering collaboration with other cancer investigators. And it also allows me to pursue other career-development opportunities."
At a time when funding opportunities are difficult to attain, Triebel is an example of what researchers need to do to secure additional funding that has the potential to change the future of cancer treatment and care. She emphasizes the protected time and money to conduct the research that the CCTS grant allowed, as well as "access to successful researchers who taught me how to conduct research and write grants," she said. "That grant was great, providing two years of support that allowed me to do the research, which in turn helped me secure this larger ACS grant."
Ultimately this work comes down to the patients. "Certainly, this study will address the knowledge gap by investigating medical decision-making capacity in patients; but the great potential is to improve clinical practice and decision-making for these populations," said Triebel.

Three win poster awards at national honors conference
The majority of the NCHC's 900 member institutions participated in the conference. Students from honors programs and colleges nationwide submitted posters in nine categories.
The winner in the business, engineering and computer science category was Lily Deng, a junior University Honors Program and biomedical engineering major mentored by Ho-Wook Jun, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, whose presentation was titled "Crosstalk Between Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells on a Peptide Amphiphile Scaffold."
The co-winners in the natural sciences and mathematics category were Ranjani Ponnazhagan, a junior University Honors Program neuroscience major mentored by David Standaert, M.D., chairman of the Department of Neurology, whose presentation was titled "Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 4 Positive Allosteric Modulators Attenuate LPS-Induced Inflammation in Microglia Cells"; and John Decker, a junior University Honors Program neuroscience major mentored by Paul Gamlin, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Ophthalmology, whose presentation was titled "Voluntary Eye-Movements to Cyclopean, Monocularly Invisible Targets."
Deng and Ponnazhagan are also part of the Early Medical School Acceptance Program.
Photo credit: Tianjiao ZhangEach poster presentation was judged by a faculty member, typically an honors director or dean from honors colleges and programs throughout the United States and abroad.
"It is quite an achievement for an honors program or college to have a student winner in any of the nine categories and an extremely rare event for a program or school to have multiple winners," said Michael Sloane, Ph.D., director of UHP. The UAB contingent included 30 honors students as well as faculty and staff from the Honors College and its specialized programs.
"The conference was a wonderful opportunity for our honors students to present their research in a national forum and interact with other honors students from across the country," said Honors College Dean Shannon Blanton, Ph.D. "We are extremely proud of their achievements and delighted that such accomplished students represent UAB."

text: Associated Press Franklin, Vollmer Close Worlds with Gold Bears Lead Winning U.S. 4x100-Medley Relay in Spain By Cal Athletics on Sun, August 04, 2013 Related Links Results Cal Facebook Worlds Twitter BARCELONA – Missy Franklin collected her sixth gold medal in Spain as she and California alumna Dana Vollmer led the U.S. 4x100-meter medley relay to victory in the final event of the World Championships on Sunday night at the Palau Sant Jordi. Golden Bear sophomore Elizabeth Pelton also earned gold for swimming in the preliminary heats of the relay. The United States clocked a time of 3:53.23 in the final, with Franklin swimming the backstroke leg to lead off the relay and Vollmer swimming the third or butterfly leg. With her sixth gold medal, Franklin became the winningest women's swimmer ever at the World Championships. "I don't even know what to say," Franklin said. "I still can't really believe that it happened. Coming into this meet, I wanted to see where I was after London. I had some really great races that I'm really proud of, and there's a bunch where I know there's a lot of room to improve on. I'm really excited about the next year, and the year after that, and all the years following those." Cal women wound up with a total of 14 medals in Barcelona, with Franklin accounting for almost half of them. Cal's incoming freshman also won gold in the 100 and 200 backstrokes, 200 freestyle, 4x100-free relay and 4x200-free relay. Vollmer earlier won a bronze medal in the 100 butterfly, while Pelton also won gold after swimming in the prelims of the 4x100-free relay. Cal legend Natalie Coughlin swam with Franklin in the final of the 4x100-free relay to win gold, and fellow alumna Lauren Boyle won bronze medals in the 400, 800 and 1500 frees for New Zealand.

An organic remineralisation top dressing from quarries in Scotland as approved by the SEER Centre Trust. Rock dust adds a huge range of natural volcanic minerals and trace elements to boost long term soil fertility.
Can be applied any time of year but at the end of the growing season is easiest. Just sprinkle on and rake over.
A 25kg bag covers up to 50 sqm.
Optimum annual dose – Apply 2kg per square metre in first year for an initial boost. Apply 1kg per square metre in subsequent years.
Application to potted plants – Sprinkle 3mm Rockdust onto soil surface. No need to mix, just water your plants as normal OR mix with potting compost prior to sowing or planting. Mix ratio by volume, of 1 part Rockdust to 4 parts compost (as used at the SEER Centre) or up to 10 parts compost (depending on the plant's nutrient requirements i.e. light or heavy feeder).

Who are these guys? Mr. Truck I know from his website and videos from various trade shows. Ditto for Roman—who works for The Fast Lane Truck. Andre works there too and is said to speak English—though Roman doesn't sound completely convinced. Mr. Truck claims to spend so much time in his truck that he sleeps there in pajamas.
All kidding aside; if you listen to what these guys have to say in the video below you'll learn a lot about what's new for 2014 and about trucks in general. This is the first of a two-part video series so they only discuss half of the trends. Don't worry; I'll keep my eyes open for part two and link to it when it appears.

KENNEWICK — A Tri-Cities group is studying the possible benefits of building a small modular nuclear-reactor system at the Hanford nuclear reservation.
The state Legislature last year set aside $500,000 to study the manufacturing and advancement of small modular reactors in the Tri-Cities to meet future demand for low-carbon power, the Tri-City Herald reported.
The money will be used to pay for Tri-City Development Council's (TRIDEC) study and then a proposal to the Department of Energy, if the study shows benefits of building at Hanford.
"This is an opportunity I do not want to see pass us by," said Sen. Sharon Brown, R-Kennewick.

The council, which supports business development in Benton and Franklin counties, is seeking bids this month from companies interested in conducting the study.
The Department of Energy already has announced $452 million in matching funds for two proposals to design and license modular nuclear reactors.
The first award went to Babcock & Wilcox in cooperation with the Tennessee Valley Authority. Last month, the DOE announced an award to NuScale Power in Oregon with tentative plans for an Idaho plant that would be operated by Energy Northwest of Richland.
Small modular reactors are about one-third the size of current nuclear-power plants and could produce 45 to 300 megawatts of power. These reactors could be built in factories, transported to sites where they would be installed and be grouped together as power demands.
The DOE grants do not yet include site selection or construction, giving the council time to convince DOE that Hanford is the best place for an operating small modular reactor.
A new small modular reactor, costing between $500 million and $1 billion, could create construction and permanent jobs, potentially replacing some jobs that likely would be lost at Hanford, according to TRIDEC.
DOE plans to have the first small reactors operating in about a decade, about the time most Hanford cleanup other than radioactive tank-waste retrieval and treatment is planned to be completed and employment is ramping down, the newspaper reported.
TRIDEC also wants to position the Tri-Cities for a role in manufacturing or assembling commercial small nuclear reactors.

Fannie Mae's first auction of foreclosed homes to be managed as rentals sold for $78.1 million, or 96 percent of the properties' estimated value, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) said.
The purchase, of 699 homes in Florida, was the first to be completed in Fannie Mae's auction of almost 2,500 repossessed properties in six states. The buyer was San Diego, Calif.-based Pacifica Companies. The homes had a total value of $81.5 million, including joint-venture financing from Fannie Mae, according to a transaction summary.
Investors are pouring money into single-family homes, seeking to capitalize on rising demand for rentals and real-estate prices that have fallen more than 30 percent from their July 2006 peak.
Firms including Blackstone Group, Colony Capital and Oaktree Capital Group plan to spend about $8 billion buying foreclosed properties to rent, according to company statements and interviews.

"Seeing it traded at that high value means we're probably going to see more pool sales coming," said Jim Warren, senior vice president of Tenant Access, a single-family rental-management company in Austin, Texas. "Institutional money can aggregate a lot quicker. It's easier to evaluate an entire pool than one property at a time."
Deepak Israni, president of Pacifica, a property-investment and management company that operates hotels and multifamily housing, didn't return a call seeking comment.
Fannie Mae, the government-sponsored mortgage company that owned 109,000 foreclosed properties as of June 30, offered the homes for auction in February. The other properties are in Georgia, Illinois, Arizona, California and Nevada.
The FHFA will announce the winning bidders of homes in other areas in the coming weeks after the transactions are completed, according to the statement. The 541 properties in Atlanta weren't sold, the agency said.
Colony, a Santa Monica, Calif.-based investment fund headed by Tom Barrack, and Cogsville Group, a New York-based company led by Don Cogsville, were the top bidders for other Fannie Mae portfolios, four people with knowledge of the transactions said in July.
Pacifica, which will manage the Florida properties, paid $12.3 million for its share in a joint venture with Fannie Mae, which will get 90 percent of cash flow until it receives $49.3 million, according to the transaction summary. After that, Fannie Mae's share will drop to 50 percent of cash flow.
Pacifica will also receive 20 percent of gross rental income as a management fee.

To review selected issues regarding the development of drug treatments for anorexia nervosa (AN).
The existing pharmacotherapy literature for AN is reviewed, and the theoretical and practical considerations are discussed.
A very wide variety of drugs have been examined in AN, generally with negative results. There are a number of potential reasons for this finding, including compliance, nutritional deficits, selection of the wrong targets or the wrong outcome measures, use of monotherapy, lack of animal models, or factors intrinsic to AN.
Pharmacotherapy provides little benefit in the treatment of AN at present. Several strategies might lead to the identification of more effective agents, including new measurement strategies, identification of novel pharmacologic targets, and consideration of a clinical trials network. © 2008 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
