Felix, who had 17 first-half points, was 8 of 10 from the field, part of a 56 percent shooting effort for the Sun Devils (4-0). "(The win) proves who we are as a team," freshman guard Jahii Carson said. "It was a good test for us and I'm just pleased with the win. We gave good respect to Arkansas, but we played well."
Arizona State led only 43-41 at intermission, but scored the second half's first six points and never trailed again. "We did some very good things and all guys contributed," noted Coach Sendek, who will go for his 37th win over a ranked team against Creighton Saturday at 8 p.m. on ESPNU.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
A normal spine, when viewed from behind, appears straight. However, a spine affected by scoliosis shows evidence of a lateral, or sideways, curvature, and a rotation of the back bones (vertebrae), giving the appearance that the person is leaning to one side. The Scoliosis Research Society defines scoliosis as a curvature of the spine measuring 20 degrees or greater on x-ray.
Scoliosis is a type of spinal deformity and should not be confused with poor posture.
Spinal curvature from scoliosis may occur on the right or left side of the spine, or on both sides in different sections. Both the the thoracici (mid) and lumbar (lower) spine may be affected by scoliosis.
In most cases, the cause of scoliosis is unknown - a condition called idiopathic scoliosis. Scoliosis is more common in females than males.
According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, three to five out of every 1,000 children develop spinal curves that are considered large enough to require treatment.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, in cooperation with the Scoliosis Research Society, describe three different types of scoliosis that can occur in children - congenital (present at birth), neuromuscular, or idiopathic.
Other causes of scoliosis may include:
The following are the most common symptoms of scoliosis. However, each adolescent may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Back pain, leg pain, and changes in bowel and bladder habits are not commonly associated with idiopathic scoliosis. A adolescent experiencing these types of symptoms requires further medical evaluation by a physician.
The symptoms of scoliosis may resemble other spinal conditions or deformities, or may be a result of an injury or infection. Always consult your adolescent's physician for a diagnosis.
The physician makes the diagnosis of scoliosis with a complete medical history of the adolescent, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. The physician obtains a complete prenatal and birth history of the adolescent and asks if other family members are known to have scoliosis. The physician will also ask about developmental milestones since some types of scoliosis can be associated with other neuromuscular disorders. Developmental delays may require further medical evaluation.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, x-rays (a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film) are the primary diagnostic tool for scoliosis. In establishing a diagnosis of scoliosis, the physician measures the degree of spinal curvature on the x-ray.
The following other diagnostic procedures may be performed for nonidiopathic curvatures, atypical curve patterns, or congenital scoliosis:
Early detection of scoliosis is most important for successful treatment. Pediatricians or family physicians, and even some school programs, routinely look for signs that scoliosis may be present.
Specific treatment of scoliosis will be determined by your adolescent's physician based on:
The goal of treatment is to stop the progression of the curve and prevent deformity. Treatment may include:
According to the Scoliosis Research Society, there is no scientific evidence to show that other methods for treating scoliosis (i.e., manipulation, electrical stimulation, and corrective exercise) prevent the progression of the disease.
The management of scoliosis is individualized for each adolescent depending on his/her age, amount of curvature, and amount of time remaining for skeletal growth. Scoliosis will require frequent examinations by your adolescent's physician to monitor the curve as your adolescent grows and develops. Early detection is important. If left untreated, scoliosis can cause problems with heart and lung function.

What You Missed This Weekend: Kate Nash at In the Venue"They gave me a whole list of words I couldn't say in Salt Lake City before I came out here tonight. So I made sure to say all of them twice." -Kate Nash Kate Nash is one feisty Brit.
She made her first-ever stop in SLC Friday night at 'In the Venue', playing for nearly 90 minutes. The 23-year old London native took turns on the keyboard and guitar changing up the pace and rhythm of each song, from her #2 UK hit 'Foundations' to lesser-known R&B covers.
Nash resembles a more-refined Katy Perry with her Betty Page-esque bob and doe-eyes and a foul-mouth that could rival any sailor.
She spent most of her set slamming a light-bulb covered keyboard, singing and screaming about boys who had done her wrong.
Her wrists and fingers moved at an impossibly fast pace as became more passionate about each song. Her lyrics kept up with the fast-pace tempo moving from singing to near-talking in an intense, sing-songy manner. On her handful of ballads, she allowed for her strong vocals to take over, demonstrating a smooth, cabaret-style voice with the ability to impress the Simon Cowells in the room.
Although not her typical style, Nash could easily pen a top-selling album of ballads showcasing her strong vocals that she often lets take a back-seat to her harsh, take-that lyrics.
Her silly, care-free personality was noticeable as she cooed and giggled about her lyrics, winking at the audience and teasing them with smiles. She let her music do the talking, only stopping to talk up the crowd, all of whom look like they stepped straight out of an Urban Outfitters catalog, a couple times.
The female-dominated crowd sang along to each male-bashing melody, while most of the token males in the crowd stepped back and took the beating. Props should be given to the two men standing next to me who proudly proclaimed their love for Nash, unashamedly repeating every lyric alongside the red-headed Brit.
For the encore, Nash returned to the stage with a camera, asking the stagehands to raise the lights so she could snap a few photos of the crowd.
When the final note died out, Nash attempted to stand on her keyboard to wave to the throngs of Utah blondes, only to topple backwards.
She was able to recoup with grace and poise, thanking the audience with stacks of autographed photos.

gym is the easiest thing in the world to fail. dont get dressed.
gym is the easiest thing in the world to fail. dont get dressed.
I got excused from gym for the entire year because it caused me "emotional stress." Kelsh, here's a easy way to get out of gym - get in special ed and moan and groan about gym until they say, "Okay, since gym causes you so much mental turmoil, we'll take you out."
Difference is your expected to Azn. Its not praised as much.
you're asian, azn. you are biologically created to suceed in school and other such menial tasks that have to do with numbers and studying
if we dont get changed for gym or anything, they call the headmaster and call your parents.
so yeah. we are forced to do gym.
well they don't let you do gym unless you have sneakers
so I never brought my sneakers. I would wear loafers or clogs.
No azn, you will destroy the SATs. You'll get so high on them they'll have to go and make a new test because you got so high. Trust me, you'll do fine.
Just hope nobody gets the same grades as I do, cause I trust my fellow classmates!
there was a Japanese kid named Shiro in my 3rd grade class, and he was better than anyone else in math. He always finished his multiplication problems first.
I finished my multiplication first. I was the smartest kid in my class. Speaking of which, I have a 99.5% in math.
I'm just so-so at math. Not great, not bad. I do enjoy algebra though, and so I was super pissed when my school announced they weren't teaching algebra or geometry anymore and were teaching something called improvised mathematics. I still think the program is shit but whatever, I'll just take geometry next year if I go to a different school.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by GotMoxie Beautiful slipcover Really nice sage green! Easy to put on the chair :) January 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lawworks Well made good value Heavy canvas duck fabric is a big plus these days. The sage green color is a nice soft neutral. Easy to use, and I expect it will be long-wearing. January 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by AMWatson So many options, and they fit like they were never separate The Good: Very reasonable cost Great shipping Canvas cloth that still feels very soft Consistent color Great fit Looks permanent and natural The Bad: Takes some practice to apply to frame Accumulates dust and hair The Ugly: As I mentioned in my review for the frames, there is a slight difference in the online and in-store prices, and the prices come out roughly the same after shipping. Either way, it's still a great deal. This arrived quickly, along with the frames. The frames may have expedited the shipping, but arrived early via FedEx Ground all the same. Putting the back cushion in its cover was easy, regardless of whether you follow the directions or not. Following the directions did seem to make it easier to get the corners in place, however. The fit is very natural, and the opening is exactly the size it needs to be, and properly located on the cushion. Fitting the seat cushion to its cover was a bit more time consuming, but not at all complicated. The cushion is sturdy, so it took a bit of time to shake cover on, but it was not in any way difficult. Think of it like a tight pair of jeans. The frame cover is a bit more complicated. I was originally concerned that the velcro fasteners would stick to the frame in various places, considering the whole frame is covered in the passive velcro material, but that was never a concern. The problem is that the cover is EXACTLY the size of the frame, and the velcro needs to be consistently sinched at every possible point in order to get the zippers to reach. After wrestling with the first, the second is far less difficult. I even considered re-applying the first, but didn't. The whole process took about an hour (to cover two chairs); the fit is amazing, and the chairs look beautiful, and feel soft and cozy. I keep blankets over the backs of the chairs, and they make the perfect reading/gadget nook. You won't be disappointed. January 1, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by amanday Nice looking, functional cover I love the idea of being able to take this cover off and wash it! It is also pretty snug fitting, so it doesn't look like the typical chair cover. Because of that, it's a little tough to get on the chair, but looks WAY better than it's elastic counterparts. I recommend putting the armrests on FIRST, then the back, unlike what the directions say. Also, this green is WAY prettier in person than online, it's a very soft, grayish sage green. June 11, 2014

McLean Wins Two as Men's Track Dominates Wesley A. Brown Invite
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (1/26/12) - The Princeton men's track & field team won 11 of 16 events at the Wesley A. Brown Invitational on the Navy campus on Saturday, Jan. 26.
The Tigers won the 60, 200, 800, Mile, 3000, 5000 and distance medley relay on the track. Wins also came in the high jump, triple jump, long jump and shot put.
Junior Damon McLean was a double winner in the long and triple jumps. He reached 6.89 (22-7.25) to win the long jump and a field house record 15.55 (51-00.25) in his primary event, the triple jump. The jump was just a quarter-inch off his PR, set at the NCAA finals last spring.
In second place in the triple jump was sophomore Nana Owusu-Nyanteky. He cleared 14.25 (46-9), while freshman Jake Scinto was fourth at 13.87 (45-6.25).
Junior Omar Jarrett won the high jump as the only jumper to clear the two-meter mark with a best of 2.04 (6-8.25). Sophomore Stephen Soerens was third at 1.94 (6-4.25) and junior Brad Pelisek was fifth at 1.84 (6-00.50).
In the shot put the win belonged to sophomore Scott Rushton, who threw to 15.34 (50-4).
Rounding out the field events was a fourth-place finish by junior David Coneway in the pole vault, as he cleared 4.65 (15-3).
Dual athletes of both the track and football teams, freshmen John Hill and Dre Nelson went 1-2 in the 60-meter dash. Hill clocked a 6.95, the second time this season he has run under seven seconds. Nelson was second at 7.07, while sophomore Daniel McCord was fifth at 7.18. McCord went on to finish third in the 200 with a time of 22.20. Junior Tom Hopkins won the 200 as he posted a winning time of 21.89.
Princeton went 1-2-3-4 in the 800. Senior Russell Dinkins came across the line first at 1:52.25. He was followed by junior Michael Williams with a time of 1:52.73, sophomore Bradley Paternostro at 1:53.12 and senior Michael Palmisano at 1:54.24.
Senior Michael Franklin was the winner of the mile, crushing his PR by nearly 10 seconds. Franklin ran an 4:08.39 for the win. Freshmen Sam Berger and Brett Kelly were third and fifth at 4:17.93 and 4:20.07, respectively.
In the 400, junior Tom Scott and freshman Travis McHugh both finished in the top five. Scott was third with a PR of 50.18, while McHugh was fifth at 50.82.
The Tigers won both individual distance races. Junior Chris Bendtsen clocked an 8:09.46 to win the 3000. Classmate Tyler Udland was fourth with a PR of 8:12.53. In the 5000, the victory belonged to sophomore Eddie Owens. Owens finished in 14:38.45.
Senior Richard Sheldon was the runner-up in the 60-meter hurdles at 8.33 and went on to place third in the long jump at 6.37 (20-10.75). Rookies Gregory Caldwell and Bryan Oslin both finished in the top five in the hurdles with times of 8.70 and 8.91, respectively.
Princeton's B relay of senior Peter Callahan, freshman Brian Poirier, Palmisano and Pons won the DMR. They ran a 10:00.94, nearly six seconds ahead of Navy's A relay. Princeton's A relay was third at 10:07.59.
The Tigers finished second in the 4x400 relay. Scott, McHugh, freshman Jordan Myers and freshman Chris Crawford ran 3:25.98.

How do NNN bindings mounted on cross-country skis with NIS mounting plates compare with the screwed-in versions in terms of reliability (are they more likely to break) and performance (do I get anything from being a bit higher off the ground)?
The Great Outdoors Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who love outdoor activities, excursions, and outdoorsmanship. It's 100% free, no registration required.

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Reliability: So far so good - no mass returns of skis due to breakage. Since the binding plate is integrated into the ski, there is more even distribution of force, where as five screws create five weak points.
Advantages: The biggest advantage comes from being able to dial in the "sweet-spot" of the skis. Ski's vary greatly in composition and dimensions, and shifting your bindings forward or backward by centimeters to adjust the center of gravity can make a world of differences in their responsiveness and handling.

Locating a Print Book
Run time: 6:20 | Requires Flash Player. | Transcript
(object placeholder)
Welcome to this Information and Library Services tutorial locating a print book using the online library catalog, USMAI. This tutorial will take approximately four minutes to view.
catalogUSMAI provides access to:
- the collections of all 16 of the University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions libraries
- includes 4 million print books on a wide variety of topics
- as well as millions of other types of resources.
To locate a print book you will need to access the library catalog and you can click on the link available from the library home page (http://www.umuc.edu/library).
After clicking on the link you will be directed to an intermediary page where you conduct a words anywhere search, which is the same as a keyword search, which means that the words can be located anywhere in the record. This is an inexact search and you will often locate results that are not relevant.
You can instead click on the Advanced Search link which provides for more focused searching as it allows you to add additional terms to help focus your search. This will help you to retrieve more relevant results.
For example, you are interested in locating literary criticism about John Cheever and his works.
To locate print books on John Cheever and criticism, you will change the search for words in pull-down menu on the left to subject, which means you are looking for resources about John Cheever and not written by him.
You will enter his name and the usual naming convention is last name, first name.
You will then do the same thing for the next search box, again changing search for words in pull-down menu on the left to subject.
And then enter the term criticism. The AND specifies that both terms have to be included.
To further refine your results you can select book as the format.
And English as the language, again changing these pull-down menus. Then, click on the search button.
As you look down through your results list you find that criticism is a subject, which means that this is the focus of a particular book. In addition, you see the location of specific libraries that own this title as part of their holdings including the McKeldin Library at the University of Maryland-College Park.
Open the full record by clicking on the title link to find out more about a particular title, including all the elements that you will need for the citation (e.g., author, title, publication information) as well subject terms, and holdings and location information.
When you click on the availability link for a particular library location you will be directed to the location area, call number, and whether it is on the shelf.

WIP Wednesday Link-Up
It hasn't been the greatest week over here, let me tell you. I did absolutely no sewing at all over the weekend. None. Zip. I had a trip to prepare for, a book to finish reading for Book Club, and one very sick baby—and it all added up to very little progress on my WIPs. I did manage to complete two small, time-sensitive projects, but pretty much nothing else got done. Oh well ...
Ongoing Projects:
Urban Lattice Quilt Along at Me? A Mom?
I have all of my fabric now. I even threw a little Parisville in there. (Parisville and Innocent Crush look great together!) Now all I need is a few spare minutes to start cutting. Hopefully after Thanksgiving.
That Girl ... That Quilt Along quilt
Uh oh ... I'm WAY behind on this one now. I set aside some time last week to get them wonked up, but somehow it didn't happen. Again, I'm hoping to catch up after the holiday.
Still didn't do anything with these:
Figgy Pudding quilt
Wonky Log Cabin
Completed tops awaiting quilting:
Hope Valley quilt
Modern Meadow Baby Quilt
Fall Equinox (Fat Quarterly Quilt Along quilt)
This week's stats:
New projects - 0. Yay me!
Completed projects - 2 (Miss E.'s Thanksgiving dress, and my Ho-Ho Holiday Swap ornament. I'm mailing it this morning, partner! Hope you like it!)
Currently in progress - 7, down 2 from last week. So why do I still feel so behind? : )
And with that, I'm out of here until next week. There's a turkey in sunny Florida with my name on it. Happy Thanksgiving, and do some sewing for me this weekend!

LITTLE ROCK, AR (Jan. 24, 2012) - A new study published by researchers at Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute (ACHRI) shows promise for potential treatments for children with autism spectrum disorders. The research demonstrates that children with these disorders (ASD) are more likely to have a certain type of antibody, which could lay the groundwork for testing of that antibody and then treatment that could improve the lives of children with ASD significantly. The study is published this month in Molecular Psychiatry.
Richard E. Frye, MD, PhD, director of autism research at the Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute (ACHRI) and associate professor of Pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), and Jill James, PhD, director of the Autism Metabolic Genomics Laboratory and professor of Pediatrics at UAMS, served as lead authors of the study, Cerebral folate receptor autoantibodies in autism spectrum disorder, that can be read in the journal's online edition at
The study measured serum folate receptor autoantibodies (FRAs) concentrations in 93 children with ASD. A high prevalence rate (75.3 percent) of FRAs was found in the children participating in the study. Children with FRAs were treated with oral leucovorin calcium, and treatment response was measured and compared with a wait-list control group. Compared with controls, significantly higher improvement ratings were observed in treated children over a mean period of 4 months in the areas of verbal communication, receptive and expressive language, attention and stereotypical behavior.
"Our study demonstrates a high prevalence of an autoantibody that has the potential to cause neurological disability in children with autism spectrum disorder. This study is significant for at least three reasons: First, this autoantibody can be easily measured, so it is possible to easily identify this subgroup of autistic children. Second, our study demonstrates that a significant portion of children in this subgroup respond positively to treatment with a particular type of folate. Third, it is very possible that the autoantibody we have studied has a causative role in the development of autistic symptoms, so identifying this autoantibody early in life and intervening at that time could minimize or even prevent the development of autistic symptoms," explains Frye. "While more research needs to be done to confirm our results, we are excited about the possibility that a simple safe intervention could improve the lives of a significant number of children with autism spectrum disorder."
Edward Quadros, PhD, Department of Medicine, State University of New York - Downstate Medical Center, member of the study's research team, said of the study, "The identification of folate receptor autoantibodies in a majority of autism spectrum disorders provides for the first time a marker and a specific treatment for this condition. Considering the role of folates in fetal development, neural tube defects and cerebral folate deficiency syndrome, the detection of these autoantibodies provides a mechanism by which the pathological manifestations of these neuro-developmental disorders could occur due to blocking of folate transport to the developing brain. Identification of this autoimmune disorder and prompt intervention with pharmacological doses of folate could prevent many of the neuropathological manifestations. Researchers at SUNY Downstate were the first to identify these autoantibodies in neural tube defect pregnancy and in cerebral folate deficiency syndrome and have developed techniques for the determination of these autoantobodies in blood and are providing this test to physicians worldwide."
The study was supported, in part, by funding from the Autism Research Institute and the Jane Botsford Johnson Foundation. The study was produced by a research team that also included:
ACHRI provides a research environment on the ACH campus to meet the needs of the UAMS faculty. Research scientists at ACHRI conduct clinical, basic science, and health services research for the purpose of treating illnesses, preventing disease and improving the health of children everywhere. The laboratories of Drs. Frye and James are supported, in part, through funding from ACHRI and the Arkansas Biosciences Institute.
Arkansas Children's Hospital is the only pediatric medical center in Arkansas and one of the largest in the United States serving children. The campus spans 29 city blocks and houses 316 beds, a staff of approximately 500 physicians, 80 residents in pediatrics and pediatric specialties and more than 4,000 employees. The private, nonprofit healthcare facility boasts an internationally renowned reputation for medical breakthroughs and intensive treatments, unique surgical procedures and forward-thinking medical research - all dedicated to fulfilling our mission of enhancing, sustaining and restoring children's health and development. ACH recently ranked No. 75 on FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For®. For more information, visit www.archildrens.org.
UAMS is the state's only comprehensive academic health center, with colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Health Related Professions and Public Health; a graduate school; a hospital; a statewide network of regional centers; and seven institutes: the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, the Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute, the Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy, the Harvey & Bernice Jones Eye Institute, the Psychiatric Research Institute, the Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging and the Translational Research Institute. Named best Little Rock metropolitan area hospital by U.S. News & World Report, it is the only adult Level 1 trauma center in the state. UAMS has more than 2,800 students and 775 medical residents. It is the state's largest public employer with more than 10,000 employees, including about 1,000 physicians and other professionals who provide care to patients at UAMS, Arkansas Children's Hospital, the VA Medical Center and UAMS' Area Health Education Centers throughout the state.

Dow Wields Its Science to Attack Pesticide Ban
The recent controversy surrounding bisphenol A, an endocrine
disruptor, pitted science backed by industry against science
backed by government and non-profit groups. Now, in another case
of dueling experiments, Dow AgroSciences, a subsidiary of Dow
Chemical, is wielding industry-funded studies to challenge an
effort by Quebec Province to ban the pesticide 2, 4-D, which
independent researchers say causes both cancer and neurological
and reproductive problems. "The actions of the government of
Quebec are tantamount to a blanket ban based on non-scientific
criteria," Jim Wispinski, president and CEO of Dow AgroSciences
Canadian Press.
The company based its appeal on a section in the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) that prohibits local, state, or
provincial governments from circumventing national decisions.
Health Canada has ruled that 2, 4-D is safe when used according
to its label. Canadian environmental groups, on the other hand,
claim Quebec conducted extensive public consultations and
research before enacting the ban. Earlier this month, the
Natural Resources Defense Council
petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency to ban the chemical in the U.S.
The Dow petition relied on more than 300 studies paid for by an
industry task force comprised of Dow AgroSciences, Australian-based Nufarm Ltd, and Agro-Gor, all of which produce the chemical. It is demanding $2 million in
compensation from Quebec. The pesticide 2, 4-D was used to
produce Agent Orange, widely used during the Vietnam War, and is
still a $300 million-a-year market.
EPA Report Downplayed Fracking Risk
A 2004 Environmental Protection Agency study on the risks of
hydraulic fracturing (sometimes called fracking) downplayed the
dangers the process posed to groundwater, according to a study
by ProPublica,
a non-profit investigative journalism news agency. The EPA
study led to a congressional exemption of hydraulic fracturing from the Safe Drinking Water Act.
The process, pioneered by Halliburton, involves shooting
pressurized water, sand and chemicals into buried natural gas
deposits, blasting apart rock and releasing natural gas. Of the
more than 300 chemicals that may be used, at least 65 are known
to be toxic, private researchers and the Bureau of Land
Management say. Halliburton refuses to disclose what chemicals
it uses, citing the need to protect company trade secrets.
According to ProPublica, the 424-page EPA report emerged after the agency negotiated directly with the gas industry. The report admits that fracturing fluids may cause kidney, liver, heart, brain, and blood damage, but concludes that "the injection of hydraulic fracturing fluids into coalbed methane wells poses little or no threat to [drinking water] and does not justify additional study at this time."
Glaxo Tried to Intimidate Doctors Over Med
GlaxoSmithKline attempted to stifle and intimidate physicians
who initially expressed concerns that the diabetes drug Avandia
was linked to higher risk of heart attacks, the Wall Street
Journal reported. As early as 2000 a Maryland doctor linked the drug to
congestive heart failure. The company responded by asking the
hospital's chief physician to keep that physician from talking
about it with other doctors at the hospital.
In a related matter, in 2007 the New England Journal of Medicine published a study that concluded that the drug could raise the risk of heart of attacks by 43 percent. Even though the drug remains on the market, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), ranking member of the Senate Finance committee, is
investigating allegations that one of NEJM's peer reviewers leaked the study to the company. A report is expected soon.
Who's Watching the Watchdogs?
Citing growing ties between medical journalists and the
companies they cover, medical journalism came under fire in the
current issue of the British Medical Journal (subscription required). Authors Lisa Schwartz and Steven Woloshin of Dartmouth and BMJ associate editor Ray Moynihan offered examples like Glaxo Wellcome and Pfizer funding an endowed chair and scholarships at the University of North Carolina's journalism school; drug industry sponsorship of the American Medical Writers Association; and industry-financed prizes of up to $10,000 for best reporting on urinary incontinence (Eli Lilly and Boehringer Ingleheim), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Boehringer Ingleheim) and obesity (Roche). The authors called for eliminating health care company funding from journalism education; ending industry-funded journalism prizes; and mandatory disclosure when health care companies fund reporting trips.
In addition, the latest in a series of investigations by Sen.
Charles Grassley (R-IA) revealed that Frederick Goodwin, host of National Public Radio's "The Infinite Mind", earned at least $1.3 million between 2000 and 2007 giving marketing lectures for drug makers. The psychiatrist/radio host, who is also a former director of the
National Institute of Mental Health, did not disclose to his
listeners that he had the connection to industry, and he said in
a New York Times article last week that the program's producer, Bill Lichtenstein, had been made aware of the funding but didn't think that "getting money from drug companies could be an issue." Lichtenstein reportedly denied this assertion saying it would have violated their agreements. NPR officals said the show will be removed from satellite radio this week.
Odds and Ends
Medical device scientists at the Food and Drug Administration
sent a letter to Congress accusing senior health officials at the agency of ignoring their concerns and approving unsafe devices, the New York Times
reported.... A Rutgers University study reveals that many
researchers receiving NIH grants for studies on human sexuality
made changes to their subsequent proposals after becoming the
subject of controversy. The study is available
here after 8 p.m. EST.... The 160 countries that ratified the
global tobacco treaty will determine the extent that the treaty
and related public health policies are influenced by the tobacco
industry, Corporate Accountability International
reported.... A Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel study
showed that products labeled as "microwave safe" may leach the plasticizer BPA into food contents when warmed. The newspaper broke the story a year ago that said the National Toxicology Program had relied excessively on industry-funded studies to arrive at its conclusion that the chemical was safe. Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA)and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) said they will seek to ban the material from food packaging materials.... Congressional Democrats may try to block
implementation of changes to the Endangered Species Act and other Bush Administration midnight regulations by using a
rarely-used parliamentary maneuver, the San Luis Obispo Tribune reports.
Cheers and Jeers
Corrections and Clarifications
The Sept. 2, 2008 issue of Integrity in Science Watch
incorrectly linked Robert Freedman, editor-in-chief of the
American Journal of Psychiatry, to a financial disclosure for Robert R. Freedman, a professor of psychiatry at Wayne State
University in Michigan. We apologize for the error.
That same issue and story reported that Ronald Pies,
editor-in-chief of Psychiatric Times, received education grants or consulting fees from pharmaceutical companies. Dr. Pies
reports that he has received no money from the drug industry in
the past 18 months, which coincides with his tenure as editor.
While Integrity in Science Watch uses a five-year look-back period for reporting conflicts of interest and believes these relationships should have been disclosed to readers of
Psychiatric Times, the use of the present tense in the story was incorrect. We apologize for the error.
The Nov. 17, 2008 issue of Integrity in Science Watch contained an incorrect link to an EPA Scientific Advisory Board warning letter on perchlorate. We apologize for any confusion that may have caused.

Observations on British and American English
by an American linguist in the UK
England and America are two countries separated by a common language.
--George Bernard Shaw
BrE = British English
AmE = American English
OED=Oxford English Dictionary (2nd edn. [1989], unless otherwise noted)
Tuesday, December 05, 2006
Earlier today, I left a message on a course website, instructing students to bring to the next session any questions they have about (among other things) 'essay writing/revision'. This set off a panic in some that there might be an exam that they hadn't yet known about. That's because the words revise and revision are used very differently in American and British educational contexts.
My intention was to refer to the writing and revision of essays. American college (= BrE university) students become accustomed to the practice of writing, revising and re-submitting draft upon draft of their essays, especially in Freshman comp (i.e. a first-year university course on how to write--particularly, how to write an academic essay). In this context, revision refers to the process of creating a new version of a text, through editing and re-writing. Thus, answers.com gives first draft as an antonym for revision. This sense of revise/revision is not foreign to BrE, but in the context of of what British students expect to do, it is not the first thing that comes to their minds.
Instead, they think of the BrE-only meaning 'to review/study material in preparation for a test/exam'. Thus in BrE one can revise for exams or revise Chemistry, while in AmE the object noun for the verb revise would have to refer to some kind of text: revise an essay. Look up "How to revise" on .ac.uk websites, and one gets lots of information about how to prepare oneself for examinations (see, for example, this). Look up the same phrase on .edu (i.e. mostly American university) sites, and one finds advice pages on how to improve a first draft of an essay (such as this one).
I continue to use revise to mean 'create a new version of a text' in BrE contexts because it is a 'legal' meaning of the word here, and there isn't a very good substitute for it (rewrite scares the students, edit makes them think that they just have to proof[-]read). But usually I take the time to clarify my intention. In this particular course, the fact that they have to revise and resubmit their work has been discussed for ten weeks now, so I relaxed a bit and assumed we were speaking the same language by now. The ambiguity created by my virgule (slash) undid all that teaching, it seems. The ambiguity, of course, is whether essay writing/revision means 'essay writing and essay revision' or 'essay writing and (exam) revision'. I have to tell myself that the ambiguity created the problem. Otherwise I'd have to believe that no one's been listening to me harping on about first and final essay drafts all term, and believing that would be very bad indeed for my self-esteem.

Well, 9 weeks of using a word in a new way doesn't seem likely to override the terrible meaning ingrained by 15 years of school in the UK: SATs start at what age now? Isn't it six or thereabouts? The first sense of the word to pop into a British student's head will always be the pre-exam meaning, believe me; no need for self-esteem difficulties! :)

My pre-graduation educational experience in England in the 60s and 70s was that essays were handed in, kept (sometimes for weeks), and then, if not lost, returned customarily with just a single annotation: a grade in red ink. It must be so much better nowadays to get helpful feedback and to be able to submit more than one version. If we had been allowed to, we would have edited our text.
In my own current researches, I observe that, in the US, writing is seen more as a craft to be learned than a talent to be mysteriously inherited. Writers there are made, not just born. It is, I'm told by a reliable source, part of the American can-do attitude. We, in late 20th-century England, we never taught to write, as must be obvious from my posts here.
For students I knew who postponed their coursework, much pre-exam activity wasn't so much revision as vision.

So is there an American word with the same meaning and register as BrE "revise"? The only synonym I can think of is "cram", and it's not the sort of word I'd expect a professor to use.t
- 06 December, 2006 15:57
- Suzannah said...
Ginger Yellow, if my understanding of the BrE "revise" is correct, AmE just uses "study". In many cases cramming is definitely the more accurate word (and students do use it), but you're right, professors usually don't encourage that!
- 06 December, 2006 18:35
- Ginger Yellow said...
But there's a difference between study (which in Britain would imply new material) and revise, which definitely implies going over old material. Is this just a case where America doesn't make a distinction? Could it be related to the fact that American university and high school courses are more coursework driven? The requirement for the equivalent of graduation in the UK is passing the national or university exams, rather than maintaining a grade point average.
- 06 December, 2006 19:15
- Suzannah said...
I think we just don't make the distinction. Studying for an exam means really hitting the books and making sure you know what you're talking about for the big day. Or we can use study in a more general sense, as in "what are you studying at the university?" and the answer to that would just be your major. I'm not sure we use it in the new material way you're talking about, actually...
- 06 December, 2006 19:42
- lynneguist said...
Indeed, AmE has an extra sense for study that BrE doesn't. The OED says:
To make a close study of (a subject), to 'bone' up (on, in), esp. in preparation for some display of knowledge. U.S. colloq.
But I have to take issue with their colloq. label. Cram is colloquial, and bone up is colloquial, but study in this sense is standard in AmE.
- 06 December, 2006 21:16
"Review" is an AmE synonym for studying material for an exam.
- 06 December, 2006 23:10
- dearieme said...
If your virgule means "and", why not write "and" or "&"?
- 07 December, 2006 00:37
- Suzannah said...
It might just be me, but I think reviewing is more a quick overview kind of word. Like, if you'd spent the last week studying, you'd review the material one more time on the morning of the test. Wow I'm posting a lot on this one - can you tell it's something near and dear to my heart? :)
- 07 December, 2006 01:17
- Paul said...
Interesting, if oblique, point by dearime above about virgules/slashes/strokes. Is there a standard meaning, such as and or and/or or or? If not (and I suspect there isn't), isn't it a very dangerous little mark to use at all? It could already be leading to confusion/ambiguity/error/fruitless blog-commenting.
- 07 December, 2006 07:47
I must admit to being puzzled by your use of "virgule". I thought it was one of the few words I remembered from French dictation, but I must be wrong, since I could've sworn the meaning was "comma". I dunno what the French call the solidus.
- 15 December, 2006 01:51
- lynneguist said...
Just because it means 'comma' in French doesn't mean it means 'comma' in English!
- 19 December, 2006 15:37
strange indeed :) In my American experience, We would "Review all the lessons/lectures? we had covered in class. Then we would go home and Study for the test/exam.

A slash generally means "or." Just wanted to follow up on that. :-)
From Chicago Manual of Style:
"A slash most commonly signifies alternatives. In certain contexts it is a convenient (if somewhat informal) shorthand for or. It is also used for alternative spellings or names.
Occasionally a slash can signify and—though still usually conveying a sense of alternatives.
an insertion/deletion mutation
an MD/PhD program
a Jekyll/Hyde personality"
On a related note, the "and/or" construction is just terrible in any case. And or or? What does that even mean?

On a related note, the "and/or" construction is just terrible in any case. And or or? What does that even mean?
It's a wonderful device. In Britain, if not in places people pay attention to stuff like the Chicago Manual of Style, it has a very precise meaning:
'One or the other or both'.
You can have potatoes and/or beans means that you can have potatoes or you can have beans or you can have potatoes and beans.
It's a perfect expression for when it's important not to imply that a choice is an exclusive one.
If the Chicago Manual of Style doesn't recognise this, then it needs rewriting.

Of course, I should have said that the Chicago Manual needs revising or even revision. The fact that I used rewriting is clearly very British.
I'm fifty years older than your students, but my instincts are at least as strong. For me essay writing/revision is not ambiguous. Only a knowledge that it needed translation from AmE into BrE would create any doubt. Essay revision is an impossible collocation — unless it means reviewing past essays as a preparation for an exam or similar.
For me there are two senses of revise, revision
1. 'recast, re-evalue'
2. 'review, re-examine, consolidate one's study'
• The noun from sense [1] is countable by default:
a serious revision of the policy is normal
Revision of the policy is overdue is a bit odd
• The noun from sense [2] is uncountable by default:
I can't say *It's time for the revision — although I can use the revision to mean 'the revision which is required' in a particular context
• The verb from sense [1] is transitive
Moreover, in my speech the direct object must denote a mental construct — usually an opinion — not a physical text.
• The verb form sense [2] is intransitive by default:
I say revise for Chemistry not —revise Chemistry
OK, it's unfair to expect grammatical clues in a written phrase like essay writing/revision. But you could have written essay revision/writing. The sheer oddity of it might have got students to pay attention instead of reading on autopilot.

I've realized my love for Japanese Kit Kats has led me to acquire so many that I haven't gotten around to reviewing them all! For shame! I will try and remedy this in the upcoming weeks, with a format similar to this post. I don't feel like I need to go into too much detail on these, as we all know what Kit Kats are like. Am I right? I will go into the bits of these that are different from the Kit Kats you can get anywhere else, so I'll mostly be commenting on the flavor of these beauties.
On with the reviews!
Kit Kat Hojicha Tea
Hoijicha is a type of roasted tea in Japan. It's one of my favorites actually. The bar captures it perfectly, as the milk chocolate is light, creamy, sweet and carried the flavor of the tea well. The flavor of the tea, usually in chocolate, is too light and it swallowed up by the chocolate. Not so here. It's got a wonderful roasted, tea-like, malty flavor that blends beautifully with the chocolate and gives it some really nice herbal and earthy flavors. It takes the milk chocolate and the Kit Kat to a whole new level for me, and it's really tasty. I'm sad I only got one bag!
Kit Kat Watermelon Salt
I thought salting watermelons was a thing from the South, not in Japan. Whether or not this is a cultural nod to them or not, I found this combination one of the most unusual I've encountered yet.
This Kit Kat has nice milk chocolate base. The bar smells light, watery and fruity like melons. The aroma is a tad fake, only because the scent is more floral that real melons are.
The flavor is so beautifully and realistically watermelon. It's awesome. You get that wonderfully fresh, juicy flavor of the watermelon combined with the creamy, sweet flavors of the milk chocolate. I know it sounds odd, but trust me, it's really good. You don't taste the salt until the finish and aftertaste. It's not very pronounced, but it does give a nice edge to the bar. Yum!
Kit Kat Alexandria Grape
It's a pale green in color with a white chocolate base. It smells very sweet and (what do you know!) lightly of green, muscat grapes. Fruity, bits of melon, and lightly tangy.
The flavor is….oddly grape. It's floral, light, sweet, and has notes of cantaloupe and tang just like the in the aroma. The flavor ends on a nice, milky, white chocolate note: creamy, smooth, chocolatey, and lightly fruity. I'm weirded out and confused by the idea of this one, especially how the flavor turned out. It's this strange medium between authentic and fake, and my taste buds don't know what to make of it. If you're a grape fan, I'm sure you can still get your hands on some if you want to.
Kit Kat McFlurry Caramel Macchiato
This flavor was particularly unique in my mind as it was a flavor based on a McDonald's McFlurry. I don't know much about the Macchiato, as I don't eat at McD's, much less get their McFlurries, so I can't make any commentary here as it'd be totally unfounded. My guess is it's pretty darned popular if Kit Kat goes and makes a flavor based off it it.
The base of this bar is white chocolate, with no special markings or colors. I was expecting it to have swirls of caramel on the surface, I have to admit. Instead, they're smooth, pristine, white fingers. The Kit Kat smells very intensely of brown sugar and fake butter. Together they combine to make a caramel-like smell that's slightly fake.
The flavor is mildly sweet and milky at first. It takes a few beats before that odd fake butter flavor to kick in. Thankfully it's not as intense as the aroma suggests. I do taste a little coffee in there, but it's very faint, so it's more like a cappuccino. The bar but it does succeed in having a nice cream flavor that is reminiscent of a milkshake. It's been ages since I've had one, but it's a flavor you just don't forget. It's ok, I might eat this again. nothing stellar about this flavor, I'd rather have a coffee or a plain whit choc Kit Kat.
So there you have it. The great, the good and the "meh" of this round of Kit Kats. Have you had any of these flavors? If so, what did you think of them?

Cassen Gardner from West Jordan heard the Rockettes were going to be at the Gateway this morning, so she made sure she was the first in line- bright and early, 6 a.m. Her father grew up in Boston, and his mom took him to New York to see Rockettes when he was a kid after about three years of saving money. He never forgot the show and told his kids all about the dancers while they grew up.
"There was nobody here when we came, so we just went and got breakfast then came back." she says. "We were still the first in line." She brought her daughter Kendry and brother Jonathan. "I've never seen them before," she says.
But now she'll also be the first in line for the show in November.
The first 100 people to show up at the Gateway this morning for the Rockettes show were given vouchers for one of the performances at the Maverik Center from Nov. 26 to 29. The appearance was to get as many people as possible to kick along with the dancers - hopefully they'll upload their photos to the Rockette's online kick counter. Once the troupe reaches one million kicks, kids across the country will also get to see the show for free thanks to the Garden of Dreams Foundation.
The stage was set on the grass near the fountain, and the Rockettes ran a little behind because of their appearance on Good Things Utah (Jeremy is always late when he's on that show, too).
"I just came here for a birthday present and saw all this Christmas stuff set up," says Jessica Austin who came with her daughter Austyn. She came in her pajamas. As soon as she realized the Rockettes would be there, she ran home to change and get in line.
Talese Hunt, a Sandy native living in SLC, led the three other Rockettes onstage and introduced herself to the crowd. Nobody was allowed on the grass, and everyone was starting to get wet (pushed back into the fountain). So, all the kids were let on the lawn to learn first-hand how to kick like a Rockette.
They took the stage in black Rockette T-shirts and dance bottoms. All of a sudden, it actually did feel like Christmas in August. Too bad they weren't selling merch - I know some people who'd do anything for one of those shirts. The ladies were not as tall as I thought they'd be. I'd say about 5'7".
The ladies hyped up the crowd and the let 'em loose - eye-high. Knee up first, then kick. Beautiful!
The Rockettes started their shows more than 80 years ago, and they've been the star attraction of Radio City since. Click here for your tix.
Tomorrow I'm going to interview the four Rockettes and post the story here. So, make sure to check back. It takes more than 165 people stage the Radio City Rockettes show in NYC, but if today is any indication only takes four to hype up an SLC crowd.

Baal Sar, the blind, freakish satyr, leaned heavily on his staff. The battle was over. The Wrathgill had all been slain or retreated. Save for a few that the putrid Necromancer had animated. And those abomination stoods slack jawed around the deck. There had been some casualities on the Arbalest's side. Many of the soldiers that had been press ganged into the crew had been killed or drug over the side of the boat. The large orc who had stopped the shaman from raining lightning down on them had disappeared over the side. It had been sometime since he went over and there was still no sign of him.
The goatheaded thing, limped around,inspecting the wounded. He used what healing he still had built up, but was loathe to take anymore life to fuel powers. A thousand curses on Nergal! Still those soldiers who were too badly wounded to heal, he could still touch them with the Will of Vanth and give them a peaceful release from the world. And so he did, hobbling about the dead, sending those too wounded to survive painlessly into the afterlife, at least until someone stopped him.

|Shumaker joins Petrino's staff
Head Vandal football coach Paul Petrino can relate to Jason Shumaker's coaching career.
"He's coached every position on the offensive side of the ball at a small college level," said Petrino of Shumaker, who will coach Idaho's running backs. "That's how I was brought up. When you have to do that, you become a better teacher and you know how to do things."
Shumaker comes to Idaho after serving one year as Arkansas' Director of High School Relations. Prior to joining the Arkansas staff last fall, he spent seven years of collegiate coaching at small colleges from Eastern New Mexico to Midland University. It was Petrino who was charged with vetting him for Arkansas. Not only did he see the breadth of his coaching experience but Shumaker's career as a fullback at Kansas also caught Petrino's attention.
"He's played at the big-time level," Petrino said.
Shumaker went to Fayetteville after two seasons at Midland University. He was the associate head coach/offensive coordinator in 2011 and the run game coordinator/head junior varsity coach in 2010. The Warriors' offense averaged more than 30 points per game and finished in the top 30 nationally in nearly every offensive category in 2011.
Shumaker was hired as the head coach of Dana College in December of 2009 and served in that role until the school closed in June of 2010.
Prior to his time at Dana, he was at the University of Saint Mary at Leavenworth, Kan., for three seasons as the offensive coordinator/recruiting coordinator and offensive line and tight ends coach. The offense he developed while at St. Mary finished as the fifth-ranked passing offense in the nation in 2008 and broke numerous school records. The offense he directed finished in the top 30 in the nation in several categories over two seasons with four games of 500 yards total offense. He coached 21 players over three seasons that were All-KCAC selections. Because of this success, he was chosen the 2008 KCAC Assistant Coach of the Year.
Shumaker went to USM from Eastern New Mexico, where he served as fullbacks coach and defensive line coach over two seasons and coached three All-Lone Star Conference players. Prior to his time at ENMU, he was a teacher and a coach at Rowlett, Texas.
Shumaker was born in Salina, Kan., and went to high school in Grand Prairie, Texas. From there, he attended the University of Kansas, where he played fullback for the Jayhawks. He was also a five-time Jayhawk Scholar and was named to the Big XII Commissioner's Honor Roll five times.
Shumaker graduated from the University of Kansas with a Bachelor of Science in education in 2003 and received his Master's Degree in sports administration from Eastern New Mexico University in 2007. He is married to the former Kate Klepper. They have one son, Davis.

The Best Flies with Europe's Best
Turkish Airlines has won Skytrax Awards in Europe's Best Airline category, two times in a row and also continues being the best with catering services.
The advertorial is about the delicious catering services and the actors are one of the best basketball players of the world, Kobe Bryant, and world's most talented football player, Lionel Messi.
Notes from the advertorial:
Kobe Bryant's shots were taken in an aircraft in İstanbul, while Lionel Messi's shots were taken in Barcelona in an aircraft model which looked exactly like Kobe's. A special technique was used to make it seem like they were in the same aircraft.
The shooting of the advertorial took 2 days whereas the production stage took more than 2 months. 100 people took place in this project working with Turkish, Spanish and Dutch crews.

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Janssen Biotech is paying Genmab $55 million up front, and its parent Johnson & Johnson will make an additional DKK 475 million (about $80 million) investment in the Danish firm as part of a global license and development agreement for Genmab's human anti-CD38 antibody daratumumab (HuMax®-CD38). Daratumumab is currently in early clinical development for the treatment of multiple myeloma, but Genmab says the antibody may have utility against other CD38-expressing cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia. The firm's share price shot up nearly 20% as the markets opened to the news this morning.
Under terms of the deal Janssen gets a worldwide license to develop and commercialize daratumumab as well as a backup human CD38 antibody. Genmab could also receive up to $1 billion in development, regulatory, and sales milestones, plus tiered double-digit sales royalties. Janssen will be responsible for all development and commercialization costs including those associated with two ongoing Phase I/II studies. The equity investment, at DKK 88 per share, is at a premium to Genmab's closing share price yesterday of DKK 67.85
The daratumumab deal follows on from a $3.5 million up-front DuoBody® technology collaboration signed by the firms just last month through which Genmab will generate up to 10 bispecific antibodies against multiple disease target combinations specified by Janssen.
