Debtors. )
PLAN (Dkt. 65); AND (2) SUSTAINING TRUSTEE'S OBJECTION TO
AMENDED CLAIM OF MID AMERICA CREDIT UNION (Dkt. 54)
The debtors Paul and Darla Clay filed this bankruptcy case and their chapter 13 plan on
March 13, 2009. In their plan, they proposed to repay a car loan from Mid America Credit Union
(MACU) in full. The loan was secured by a purchase money security interest in a vehicle they had
acquired within 910 days of the petition date. After the plan was confirmed, the vehicle was totally
destroyed in an accident, and its insurance proceeds paid to MACU. The Trustee moved to modify
Case 09-10618 Doc# 93 Filed 06/21/11 Page 1 of 10
debtors' confirmed plan to provide for MACU's deficiency claim to be paid as an unsecured
claim–pro rata.1 At or about the same time, MACU moved to amend its secured claim by reducing
its amount by the amount of insurance proceeds previously applied.2 The Trustee objected to the
amended proof of claim, asserting that MACU no longer had a secured claim.3 For the reasons set
out below, the Trustee's motion to modify the plan should be GRANTED and her objection to
MACU's amended claim SUSTAINED.4
These matters are core proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(B), (L), and (O). The
Court has subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334(b) and 157(b)(1).
The parties stipulated to an extensive list of facts that govern this controversy.5 They may
be summarized as follows. The Clays bought a vehicle with an enabling loan made by MACU
within 910 days of filing their case here. On the petition date, they owed MACU $8,129.30. In their
plan, the Clays undertook to pay this amount in full.6 The Court confirmed their plan on May 13,
2009 and the Trustee began disbursing funds to the creditor. By January 20, 2010, the Trustee had

Case 09-10618 Doc# 93 Filed 06/21/11 Page 2 of 10
distributed enough money to MACU to have reduced the principal balance to $6,353.41. In
February of 2010, the Clays were in a wreck that totally destroyed the car. They advised the Trustee
of this fact and told her that the insurance proceeds would be paid to MACU. The Trustee ceased
distribution to MACU at that time. After MACU received the insurance proceeds, it filed an
amended claim for a remaining balance of $4,157.20, but maintained that its claim was still secured.7
The parties stipulate that the insurance proceeds paid to MACU on account of the totaled vehicle
was $3,778.41. The Trustee seeks to modify the debtors' plan to provide that the remaining balance
owing to MACU should be treated as an unsecured claim and objects to MACU's amended claim
on similar grounds.
At issue in this case is whether a confirmed plan may be modified under § 1329(a) to
provide for the surrender of the proceeds of the creditor's collateral and the payment of the creditor's
remaining claim as an unsecured claim. That there are numerous reported cases on both sides of this
issue is somewhat surprising, given the relatively clear meaning of the Bankruptcy Code provisions
that bear on it.8
7 As noted later, this amount cannot be substantiated on the present record.
8 Cases that permit a post-confirmation modification of plan providing for surrender of
collateral and remainder of claim treated as unsecured, include: In re Zieder, 263 B.R. 114
(Bankr. D. Ariz. 2001); In re Lenillen, 322 B.R. 648 (S. D. Ind. 2005); In re Marino, 349 B.R.
922 (Bankr. S.D. Fla. 2006); In re Bell, 339 B.R. 309 (Bankr. W.D. N.Y. 2006); In re Lane, 374
B.R. 830 (Bankr. D. Kan. 2007); In re Disney, 386 B.R. 292 (Bankr. D. Colo. 2008); In re
Boykin, 428 B.R. 662 (Bankr. D. S.C. 2009); In re Sellers, 409 B.R. 820 (Bankr. W. D. La.
2009); In re Davis, 404 B.R. 183 (Bankr. S.D. Tex. 2009); In re Rodriguez, 430 B.R. 694
(Bankr. M.D. Fla 2010); In re Hutchinson, __ B.R. __, 2011 WL 477821 (Bankr. W. D. Mo.
Feb. 3, 2011). Cases disallowing such modification are led by Chrysler Financial Corp. v.
Nolan (In re Nolan), 232 F.3d 528 (6th Cir. 2000) and Sharpe v. Ford Motor Credit Co. (In re
Sharpe), 122 B.R. 708 (E.D. Tenn. 1991) and include: In re Overbaugh, 559 F.3d 125 (2nd Cir.
Case 09-10618 Doc# 93 Filed 06/21/11 Page 3 of 10
Debtors who have acquired vehicles with purchase money financing within 910 days of filing
are required to pay the claim of their purchase money lender in full as a result of the "hanging
paragraph" found in § 1325(a)(9)(*). That paragraph provides that § 506 does not apply to secured
claims of this type for purposes of cramdown under § 1325(a)(5). Accordingly, whatever the vehicle
may be worth, the loan it secures must be paid in full if it meets the criteria in the hanging paragraph
and the debtor retains the vehicle. Put another way, the creditor's secured claim is allowed in the
full amount of its claim.
Section 1329(a) allows the Trustee, the debtor, or an unsecured creditor, to seek modification
of a confirmed chapter 13 plan for several limited purposes. Subsection (a)(1) permits modification
to increase or reduce the amount of payments on "claims of a particular class" and subsection (a)(3)
allows the modification to alter distributions to a creditor who has received payments "to the extent
necessary to take account of any payment of such claim other than under the plan." Section
1329(b)(1) makes the provisions of §§ 1322(a), 1322(b), 1323(c), and 1325(a) apply to any
modification allowed under § 1329(a). While § 1327(a) provides that the provisions of the
confirmed plan bind the debtor and the creditors, § 1329(a)'s modification provision makes clear

155 (Bankr. W.D. Okla. 2003); In re Coffman, 271 B.R. 492 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. 2002). The
Tenth Circuit has not addressed this issue. An excellent summary of the issue and collection of
the case law is found in Lundin's Chapter 13 treatise, Keith M. Lundin & William H. Brown,
CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY, 4TH EDITION, § 264.1, SEC. REV. July 14, 2004,
www.Ch13online.com. The treatise authors also discuss the impact of BAPCPA's addition of
the hanging paragraph and 910-car loans on this issue. Id. at § 506.1, ¶s 24-26, SEC. REV. Mar.
29, 2006, www.Ch13online.com. See In re Bowman, 2007 WL 1466743 (Bankr. W.D. Tex. May
15, 2007) (confirmed plan could be modified to surrender 910-car and treat deficiency as
unsecured claim); In re Lane, supra; In re Belcher, 369 B.R. 465 (Bankr. E.D. Ark. 2007)
(debtor not permitted to modify plan after confirmation to surrender 910-car loan in full
satisfaction of debt when car is destroyed in an accident.)
Case 09-10618 Doc# 93 Filed 06/21/11 Page 4 of 10
that a final confirmation order may be altered in limited ways.9
As a matter of state law, the insurance proceeds payable to the debtors and the lender upon
the "disposition" of the wrecked vehicle were "proceeds" within the meaning of KAN. STAT. ANN.
§ 84-9-315(a) (2010 Supp.) in which MACU retained a perfected security interest under § 84-9315(
a)(2) and (c).10 When those proceeds were paid to MACU and applied to its claim, MACU was
entitled to recover a deficiency.11
The Bankruptcy Code unquestionably permits the modification of a plan to reduce the
amount of payments to a particular class of claims. Here, MACU was classified in a single-creditor
secured class and there should be no dispute that its payments can be reduced–here, to zero. The
Code also permits the alteration of the planned distribution to allow for payments that MACU
received outside the plan–here, the insurance proceeds paid directly to the lender after the debtors'
car was wrecked.
Likewise, so long as the modified plan contains the mandatory provisions outlined in §
1322(a) and none of its provisions breach the limits contained in (b), it complies with § 1329(b).
Nothing in the proposed modification runs afoul of subsection (a). Section 1322(b)(2) expressly
provides that the rights of holders of secured claims like MACU may be modified as the Trustee
here proposes. Section 1325(a)(5) also applies to modified plans. Paragraph (C) of that subsection
provides, as an alternative to periodic payments equal to the amount of the lender's secured claim,
9 In re Hutchison, ___ B.R. ___, 2011 WL 477821 at *3 (Bankr. W.D. Mo. Feb. 3, 2011)
("Section 1327 states the binding effect of the plan, but § 1329 specifically permits modification
of a Chapter 13 plan subsequent to confirmation.").
10 See KAN. STAT. ANN. § 84-9-102(a)(64)(E) (2010 Supp.) (defining proceeds to include
insurance payable on loss or damage to collateral)
11 See KAN. STAT. ANN. § 84-9-615(d)(2) (2010 Supp.).
Case 09-10618 Doc# 93 Filed 06/21/11 Page 5 of 10
the option to surrender the collateral that secures that claim. Tenth Circuit case law holds that a
debtor may surrender a 910 car to his lender, but that the lender retains its state law rights to a
deficiency.12 Here, of course, the collateral was "surrendered" during the administration of the
confirmed plan when MACU received payment from a source other than the debtor, the insurer. As
noted above, § 1329(b) clearly allows modification of the proposed distribution to a claim-holder
who has received funds from a non-plan source. Certainly, MACU is such a claim-holder.
Another judge of this Court has held, on nearly identical facts, that a modification like that
proposed here by the Trustee may be confirmed. In In re Lane, Judge Somers carefully analyzed
the statutes described above to conclude, that a similarly situated debtor could surrender the
insurance proceeds of her partially-wrecked vehicle and the vehicle itself while treating the lender's
deficiency as an unsecured claim.13 Judge Somers exhaustively dealt with In re Nolan, the leading
decision from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals outlining the opposing view.14
In Nolan, decided five years before the passage of BAPCPA's hanging paragraph, the Sixth
Circuit concluded that § 1329(a)(1) only authorized the court to modify payments to members of
classes of creditors, not their actual classification (i.e. "reclassify" from secured to unsecured).
There, the court considered whether to confirm a modified plan that provided for a debtor's
surrender of her well-used vehicle and payment of the difference between the surrendered vehicle
and the lender's claim as an unsecured claim. The Nolan panel concluded that the confirmation of
the debtor's initial plan "fixed" the secured claim and that the allowance of that claim as secured and

in an amount certain was final under § 1327(a) and therefore res judicata on subsequent efforts at
modification, except in the narrow ways that § 1329(a) permits.15 Nolan concluded that where the
proposed modification does not comply with § 1329(a)(1), the surrender provisions of §
1325(a)(5)(c) that are read into § 1329(b) are never reached because subsection (b) plainly makes
those sections applicable to "any modification under subsection (a)..."16 The Sixth Circuit also noted
that unfairness or inequity could result when debtors were permitted to rapidly depreciate their cars
and then surrender them to their formerly-secured creditors with only an unsecured obligation
Judge Somers noted in Lane that many courts agree with Nolan as does Norton's bankruptcy
treatise.18 He also noted that both Collier's and Judge Lundin have roundly criticized the decision
in their treatises.19 Judge Lundin states that the Nolan court's analysis "turns the Code on its head"
by not only ignoring the plain import of § 1329, but also by operating to penalize the other
unsecured creditors so that a secured creditor with no collateral can be paid what is essentially a
premium.20 Nolan did not consider extra-plan payments as a basis for post-confirmation
modification under § 1329(a)(3), the provision that was plainly implicated here and in Lane. Nolan
also ignores the presence in the Code of § 502(j) which allows for the reconsideration of an allowed

Case 09-10618 Doc# 93 Filed 06/21/11 Page 7 of 10
claim for cause "according to the equities of the case." In Lane, the court held that post-
confirmation destruction of collateral through no fault of the debtor is cause for reconsideration of
the allowed claim.21
In this case, the debtors' car was totally destroyed through no apparent fault of their own.22
In keeping with their legal obligations, they have permitted the proceeds of the car to be paid to their
secured creditor who has, at the time of the motion to modify, no more collateral to support its
"secured claim." This is the functional equivalent of a surrender. The Trustee has proposed that the
payment of MACU's secured claim be reduced to zero as is plainly permitted by § 1329(a)(1). She
proposes this in order to recognize that MACU has received an extra-plan distribution on account
of its claim as provided for in § 1329(a)(3). In doing so, she seeks to modify MACU's secured
claim as is plainly permitted by § 1322(b)(2) which is applicable to modifications under § 1329(b).
Her objection to MACU's amended claim amounts to a request that the allowance of its formerly
secured claim be reconsidered under § 502(j). The equities of this case, including the fact that
MACU no longer has any collateral, demand that MACU's secured claim be allowed at zero, but
21 374 B.R. at 839-40.
22 There is no suggestion of bad faith on the debtors' part. And, if there were, §
1325(a)(3) also applies to modifications making bad faith a basis upon which to deny a proposed
modification. See Hutchison, supra at *6 (Recognizing the potential for abuse with some
modifications to surrender collateral and treat balance of claim unsecured, but noting that such
abuses can be dealt with by the good faith test.); In re Butler, 174 B.R. 44 (Bankr. M.D. N.C.
1994) (post-confirmation modification to apply proceeds from salvage of damaged vehicle to
secured claim and balance of claim treated as unsecured would not be approved where debtors
failed to keep vehicle insured); In re Cooper, 167 B.R. 889 (Bankr. E.D. Ark. 1994) (proposed
modification to surrender vehicle destroyed in post-confirmation accident was denied for not
being filed in good faith where debtor caused accident and let car insurance lapse on vehicle;
debtor responsible for loss of value of vehicle).
Case 09-10618 Doc# 93 Filed 06/21/11 Page 8 of 10
that it be permitted to make an unsecured deficiency claim.23
Allowing the Claim
In connection with determining the extent of MACU's unsecured deficiency claim, the
Court notes a significant discrepancy between MACU's amended "secured" claim in the amount of
$4,157.20 and the other amounts contained in the stipulations. The parties stipulated that the amount
of MACU's initial allowed secured claim was $8,129.30 and that the debtors had made principal
payments totaling $1,775.89 before the car was destroyed. Applying those payments to the
beginning principal balance leaves a principal balance of $6,353.41. The parties then stipulated that
the insurance payments applied to MACU's debt totaled $3,778.41. There was no stipulation
concerning how these payments were applied to principal and interest. If all of the payments were
applied to principal, the remaining amount due would be $2,575.
A filed proof of claim in proper form is prima facie evidence of its validity.24 When the
Trustee objected to MACU's amended claim, she had the burden to meet its presumed validity with
evidence of at least equal weight that demonstrates a true dispute. If she does that, the burden of
persuasion shifts to MACU to demonstrate its claim by a preponderance of the evidence. The
stipulated amounts of payments, both through the plan and from the insurance proceeds, cannot be
reconciled with the amount of MACU's amended claim. The Trustee has successfully demonstrated
a true dispute and met the presumption of validity. As there are no calculations in the record that
support the amount claimed by MACU, the Court concludes that MACU has failed to demonstrate
that it should be allowed an unsecured claim in excess of $2,575, the difference between the
23 Lane, supra, at 841-42.
24 See 11 U.S.C. § 502(a).
Case 09-10618 Doc# 93 Filed 06/21/11 Page 9 of 10
principal balance remaining after the application of the principal portion of the payments under the
plan and the total insurance proceeds.25 The Court therefore sustains the Trustee's objection and
allows MACU's unsecured claim in the amount of $2,575.00.
The Trustee's motion to modify the debtors' confirmed plan is GRANTED and her objection
to MACU's amended claim is SUSTAINED as set forth above.
# # #
25 In other words, the Court lacks sufficient evidence to determine the impact of interest
accrual from the time of the plan payments to the time of the insurance payments on the final
claim amount. The stipulations are silent on that point.

When I was very young and still unable to walk, my mom and dad would prop me up, hold my hand, and relentlessly encourage me as I struggled to make those first few walking steps happen. It took a while but when it finally happened, all three of us were ecstatic, delighted, and proud of our collective achievement.
A couple of months later when those first precarious walking steps had become more familiar and solidified, I suddenly broke out into a few quick running strides – at least it felt like I was running. And to the delight of my parents and anyone else who was there to witness this momentous event in my life, everyone clapped and cheered my newly discovered ability once again.
How Do I Know All That?
How do I know all this you ask? I know it because that's the way it happens for almost all generally healthy kids including my own who are both now in their mid 30's. In both cases my wife and I coaxed, cajoled, and encouraged those first couple of walking steps that eventually translated into running steps. And when it happened we clapped and shouted and celebrated the event. At this point in life, walking and running are always highly valued as a privilege and a pleasure by everyone.
On the Other End of the Spectrum…
On the other end of the spectrum, my dad is now 96 years old and he spends most of his day in a wheelchair. He exercises constantly in order to maintain the abilities that he still has at his disposal. On nice days, weather permitting, he goes outside with his walker and walks in one direction for a block, turns around, and walks back.
In his younger years my dad was an athlete who played football, basketball, baseball, and ran track. He went to college on a football scholarship – such that they were back in the late 30's and early 40's. He could run, jump, throw, catch, and he was well coordinated enough to turn all these experiences into a teaching and coaching career in which he helped thousands of kids experience those activities and endeavors that had so defined his own youth and his own life.
What He'd Give to be Able to Walk or Run…
Here's my question. At age 96 what would my dad (or any other 96 year old person) give to be able to walk normally, the way most of us take for granted until we lose it. At age 96 what would my dad give to feel the rhythm of a smooth running stride, bare feet propelling him forward in the cool grass, wind blowing through his hair?* At this point in life when you've lost the ability to walk normally, let alone run like a deer, walking and running are indeed a privilege and a pleasure that one can only recall.
So at the very beginning of life walking and running are highly valued as privileges and pleasures. And at the end of life walking and running are highly valued as privileges and pleasures. But in between the beginning and the end many of us lose track of the privilege and the pleasure walking and running. Instead they become a work out. They're something we have to do, a physical pill we have to swallow in order to stay healthy.
Rekindle, Reactivate the Connection
In the 21st century when excess body weight has effectively engulfed an entire culture and undermined our ability to physically celebrate the human condition through the acts of walking and running, we need to reconnect with our infant selves, and we need to appreciate what others have lost when they can no longer walk or run.
And in the process we must actively rekindle and reactivate what some have called the P-Factor (P for privilege and pleasure) in walking and running. Succeed at that task and you'll be looking for excuses to walk/run instead of looking for excuses to avoid walking and running. In the magical words of Khalil Gibran, "Forget not that the earth delights at the feel of your bare feet, and the winds long to play with your hair."

Dear LA Teacher,
There's a teacher at my school who shows up with the kids and zips out the door ahead of the JDs [juvenile delinquents]. Why is a guy like that still permitted to teach in our schools?
Teacher Assistant
Dear Teacher Assistant,
The teacher you mentioned is still working at your school because of tenure.
The concept of tenure has roots in 19th Century America. If a new mayor or superintendent were elected, he would routinely fire all local teachers and replace them with his supporters.
In the early years of the 20th Century, the woman's rights campaign helped American teachers because they were subjected to many arbitrary, degrading, and intrusive employment conditions. Back then most teachers were women. If they were seen on a city street after a certain hour they could lose their jobs. If they didn't dress conservatively or wear their hair a certain way, they could get fired. Tenure was an effective remedy. So by 1950 80% of American teachers were under its protective wing.
This is the 21st Century and society has changed. Today the tenure system subverts students' rights to a quality education because it is near impossible to fire incompetent teachers.
In a court hearing, Superintendent John Deasy of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) said, "Tenure can cost the District as much as $450,000 to fire even a flagrantly ineffective teacher in a process that may stretch over years." Even if the Board of Education decided to fire the ineffective teacher, every tenured teacher has the right to an appeal heard by a Sacramento board dominated by union appointees sympathetic to the tenure system.
Charter schools are proof that non-tenured educators work more effectively then their tenured colleagues. A recent study by the California Charter School Association found that non-unionized charter high schools produce four times the number of graduates who have completed all college-preparatory coursework as traditional schools under the tenure system.
In Los Angeles charter schools graduate 79% of their students where traditional LAUSD schools graduate 66%.
Twenty-first Century employment is about knowledge-based jobs in this digitalized and globalized economy. If we don't educate our young so they can compete, they will suffer and the inequalities between the poor and rich will continue to grow. Former Los Angeles Mayor, Richard Riordan recently wrote in a recent Los Angeles Daily News editorial, "Tenure is a luxury we no longer can afford to provide at the expense of our children's educations—and our country's future."
Best wishes,
LA Teacher

'Weeds,' Season 7, Episode 4, 'A Hole in Her Niqab': TV Recap
So, as much as we might be starting to think that "Weeds" jumped the shark a while back, we're glad to see that their art department is exploring some creative credit sequencing this season.
Our opening shot is a copy machine, and the title cards and creator credits are hidden in a series of interesting nooks and crannies. Watch for this copy machine to come back later in today's episode.
Nancy's video chatting with her unpleasant sister Jill, but Jill's in hiding in the corner. Instead, we're treated to a shot of Jill's creepy twin daughters, who used to be like clones and are now perfect opposites — one's a moody goth tween, and the other's a preppy perfectionist.
They don't have much to say, but they do let Nancy know that she needs to send a check for $2800 in a matter of days so that Stevie can accept his enrollment at the local Waldorf School. We wonder where Nancy's going to get that money.
Andy wakes in a rather scary apartment, full of unusual sculptures and strange examples of how to mock death through art.
Remember, of course, that Andy went home with Maxine, the artist who hired Silas to model, in last week's outing. Which means that this must be the morning after, and Andy doesn't look too happy at his choices.
"This is a life prolonging room," she explains. "Comfort is the first sign of death."
Maxine starts at it again, so Andy shuts up, but suddenly, another man walks in the unusual room. It's Maxine's husband, and he looks a whole lot older than either Maxine or Andy.
Andy freaks out, but apparently Maxine and her man are polyamorous, meaning Andy and his artist friend are free to frolic in bed while hubby cooks breakfast. It's a weird set up, but Andy seems ready to go along with it.
In a surprise — but previously reported — guest star appearance, Martin Short is playing pro-bono lawyer Seward Havens to Mary Louise Parker's desperate Nancy. He seems sort of sleazy, in true Martin Short fashion, but it's a guest star role we're hoping to see more of.
Seward introduces the Seward Havens 'Trapper Keeper of Broken Dreams,' where he keeps the unfortunate stories of the (mostly) female clientele he has taken on. (Who still has a trapper keeper beyond middle school?) If they tell a story worth keeping, Seward will take on their case. Nancy's up against one prisoner who used her tuberculosis to reign over her prison cell block and another who somehow turned a pigeon into a working time bomb.
Nancy entices the slimy Seward with a story her dead husband who was killed by the mob in his prison yard and made to look like the victim of a racial hate crime. The perpetrators even sent Nancy a part of him in a shoebox in the mail, but she insists on client-attorney privilege before she can reveal what was sent in the box. Nancy wins Seward over, although he admits that her case to fight for Stevie's custody rights is slim unless she finds a steady, legal job. It's always something.
Back at the Botwin ranch, Shane has parlayed his series of illicit college loans into a large number of very large purchases. He's bought beds, sheets and all sorts of other domestic goodies in order to thank Nancy for going to prison for him. Silas thinks Shane should be using the cash to further his own desires instead of Nancy's, because he thinks they are finally her equals, instead of her children.
If his downtown meeting with Nancy is any indication, he's saying too much too soon. She manages to sweet talk Silas into selling their mutually owned stash of pot, ratting out a suspicious looking messenger boy standing in the corner by a hot dog stand as a pot dealer and even into giving her his delicious Chinese carry-out for lunch.
Up in the offices above, Nancy's got a job interview with none other than Doug Wilson, newly anointed hedge fund account and softball player extraordinaire. Doug's not as dumb as he might seem sometimes — he gets that his college buddy only took him on in his company because they needed a new, skilled player on the company softball team — and he also assumes that the company may not like it if he hires Nancy as his personal assistant.
Nancy won't have that. She needs a legitimate job, now, and she needs it from Doug. She gently reminds him of all the times she's carried him around the world as a favor, and the two have a semi-emotional moment where Doug admits that she's really the closet thing that he has for a family. Remember when Doug used to have a wife and kids? That was so long ago.
He gives her a job, a hug and the order to inject his butt with a steroid shot. The softball playoffs are coming up soon, and apparently the hedge fund league is an intense source of pride for this company. We can just see the shots of Nancy selling pot on the sidelines of this upcoming game, in a deliberate throwback to the Botwin family's time back in Agrestic.
We're back to Andy, who is marveling at both Shane's attention to detail in the newly furnished loft apartment and at the online videos of Maxine pleasuring herself that appear to be both explicit and frequent. He can do freaky, he says, but he isn't so sure about the whole 'other man who is the husband' thing.
The next day at Doug's office, Nancy is looking especially provocative in a slinky little black dress and pumps, recording a message for Doug and realizing that the messenger-dealer boy from the day before is actually the drug dealer for the office building. Nancy's met the competition, and she is not happy.
Turns out his name is Denny, and he deals for the entire building at 10 and 5 every day. Nancy looks angry, and she's ready for blood.
But first, we need to see how Silas is going to move $10,000 wort of pot in a few days. At a modelling audition, where he attempts to offer his choice stash to a couple of dejected and rejected would-be models, one especially moody model informs Silas that smokers in New York won't take pot from just anybody. They need to trust their dealer. So Silas starts giving out his choice pot for free, to get his name out there.
Meanwhile, Nancy is making copies of a flyer with Denny the drug dealer's face and huge text indicating his chosen career. Looks like she's planning to sabotage the competition in order to get a handle on the New York pot scene.
The CEO of the company tries to put the moves on her, inviting her out to dinner and smoothly commenting on Nancy's somewhat inappropriate attire. She declines, and the CEO looks dismayed, but Nancy's got her market research to throw out the window. She's sabotaging through subtle implication.
Andy is coming to terms with his polyamorous relationship. He corners the hubby (who still doesn't have a name) and admits that he makes Andy feel uncomfortable. Andy bluntly asks when the man is planning on leaving, i.e. dying, and the man reveals that he has cancer. Maxine is prolonging his life so the two of them can continue to help each other move forward in their awkward and strange lives. Andy accepts this, and we're treated to a strange scene of the husband reading in bed, and Andy and Maxine having loud and graphic sex a few cushions over. There's some teamwork of a non-sexual kind going on between Andy and hubby, and somehow, the scene works.
Nancy's new CEO is upset that she's a "crazy anti-drug militant" type of woman, and he turns her down for dinner.
"You shouldn't be using the xerox machine for your own personal agenda," he tells her, and he has no idea how appropriate that actually is.
Nancy wobbles on home, to discover that Shane has been recreating her bedroom in Agrestic with the profits from his many college loans.
"I made you something," he says, and for yet another moment, we realize that Shane isn't really the tough, drug lord-wife killing gangster he would like to pretend to me. His innocence is almost frightening.
Silas returns to the nest, and admits that, while he didn't exactly sell the drugs, he did make at least 40+ new client contacts in the city. Only problem, is that Nancy doesn't have more supply to offer. Nor does she have the liquid funds to purchase it.
After a strange interlude in Afghanistan, where an angry Afghan wife blows up her cheating husband's pot supply shack, Nancy pays a visit to the Sarge with $1,000 of Shane's college cash.
Because of the Afghani interlude and the exploding supply shack, there's going to be a month's delay until the Sarge can get more stuff. Nancy is devastated.
Of course, as we suspected, Nancy isn't able to pay off her sister to pay Stevie's deposit at his new Waldorf School, and we can hear his tears in the background as Jill's creepy twins make Nancy feel awful for her failures as a parent.
Jill can pay the deposit, but she just wanted to make Nancy witness her failure before she swept in to make everything better. We really, really can't find many admirable qualities in Jill. There's a clock ticking in the background. Time's running out for Nancy.
What's next for the series? Is the ticking clock an indication that this really might be the last season? Leave us your thoughts in the comments.

Global Identity in the iPhone browser
By bblfish on Apr 03, 2009
Typing user name/passwords on cell phones is extreemly tedious. Here we show how identification & authentication can be done in two clicks. No URL to type in, no changes to the iPhone, just using bog standard SSL technology tied into a distributed global network of trust, which is known as foaf+ssl.
After having installed a foaf+ssl certificate on my phone (which I will explain how to do in my next post), I directed Safari to foaf.me, which is a foaf+ssl enabled web site. This brought up the following screen:
This is a non personalised page. In the top right is a simple foaf+ssl login button. This site was not designed for the iPhone, or it would have been a lot more prominent. (This is easy to change for foaf.me of course). So I the zoomed onto the login link as shown in the following snapshot. Remember that I don't have an account on foaf.me. This could be the first time ever I go there. But nevertheless I can sign up: just click that link.
So clicking on this foaf+ssl enabled link brings up the following window in Safari. Safari warns me first that the site requires a certificate. The link I clicked on sent me to a page that is requesting my details.
As I do in fact want to login, I click the continue button. The iPhone then presents me with an identity selector, asking me which of my two certificates I want to use to log in:
Having selected the second one, the certificate containing my bblfish.net WebId is sent to the server, which authenticates me. The information from my foaf file is then used to personalise my foaf.me experience. Here foaf.me gives me a nice human readable view of my foaf file. I can even explore my social network right there and then, by clicking on the links to my friends. Again, this will work even if you never did go to foaf.me before. All you need is of course a well filled out foaf file, which services such as foafbuilder.qdos.com are making very easy to do. Anyway, here is the foaf.me personalised web page. It really knows a lot about me after just 2 clicks!
The foaf.me site currently has another tab, showing my activity stream of all the chats I have on the web, which it can piece together since I linked all my accounts together in my foaf file, as I explained in the post "Personalising my Blog" a few months ago.
Other web sites could use this information very differently. My web server itself may also decide to show selected information to selected servers... Implementing this is it turns out quite easy. More on that on this blog and on the foaf-protocols mailing list.

Every day in December through Christmas, we're sharing a cookie recipe. Forget the 12 Days of Christmas—these are the 25 Days of Cookies.
Well, we all knew this would happen. Only five days into the 25 Days of Cookies, and we're breaking out the booze. A baker's life is hard—we live in self-made prisons of fluffy dough, subsisting on diets of sugar and butter. No wonder we're driven to drink. Who can persevere under such inhumane conditions?
Luckily, there's a quarter cup of bourbon in these Date, Walnut, and Coconut Bourbon Balls, which might explain why they have bourbon in their name. Yes, the whiskey gives these cookies a distinctive dimension, and we're tempted to say it's the most crucial ingredient, but your taste buds will tell a different story: this is a group effort, and the real joy in these cookies is tasting the way the dates, walnuts, and coconut flakes mingle on the tongue. They're like the world's friendliest holiday party guests—guests who've had their share of bourbon.

Dr. Bill Adams received Senator Bob Williams
Award for work in historic preservation
Dr. Bill Adams has long been known in St. Augustine as a tireless advocate of historic preservation, and now those tireless efforts have been recognized by the Florida Department of State.
Florida's Secretary of State Kurt S. Browning announced that Adams be presented with the 2008 The Senator Bob Williams Award in acknowledgement for his extraordinary efforts and accomplishments in the field of historic preservation. The award was presented in a ceremony in Tallahassee on April 2 as part of Florida Heritage Month.

The award is presented to a public employee who has provided exceptional service that has changed the course of historic preservation in Florida. The Senator Bob Williams Award is named for Florida's first State Historic Preservation Officer, who created the framework for historic preservation in Florida. Adams is the tenth recipient of the award. Click here to see a list of past recipients.
St. Augustine City Manager, Bill Harriss also praised Adams.
"The city is fortunate that Bill Adams was willing to take on the task of managing the Department of Heritage Tourism," said Harriss. "Bill's passion for St. Augustine's history and for telling the city's story is a driving force for the department, and we are all pleased that his hard work and dedication has been recognized by the Department of State."
For more than three decades Adams has dedicated himself to the promotion and preservation of Florida history, and the preservation of St. Augustine's historic resources. After receiving his Doctorate degree in History from Florida State University in 1974, Adams served as the Executive Director of Florida's Bicentennial Commission from 1975 to 1977 overseeing the 26-member board of public and private officials who organized and implemented Florida's national Bicentennial observance.
Following the Bicentennial, Adams worked for eight years as the Director of the Historic St. Augustine Preservation Board, a seven-member board directing the State of Florida's preservation and restoration effort in the nation's oldest city.
For the past nine years, Adams has served as the Director of the city's Department of Heritage Tourism where he manages a 53-person department in charge of the state historic resources, the city's visitor information services that welcomes over four million visitors each year, supervision of the Government House Museum and the Colonial Spanish Quarter Museum, the maintenance of 33 restored and reconstructed properties, and the supervision of library and archival collections.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - As Arsalan Kazemi sat on the bench in the second half after struggling, he waited for a second chance, plotting how he'd play better if it came.
When the chance did come, his plan played out perfectly.
Shaking off a shaky first half, Kazemi scored 11 of his 14 points in overtime, helping Oregon outlast Washington 80-77 on Thursday night in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 tournament.
``While I was sitting on the bench in the second half, I was just hoping (Oregon coach Dana Altman) would give me a second chance,'' Kazemi said. ``I knew if he put me back in the game, I wasn't going to slip. I just played as hard as I could. I didn't look at the score whether we were down or up, I just played hard.''
The tournament's third seed, Oregon (24-8) found itself in a fight from the start against the sixth-seeded Huskies. The Ducks stopped Washington from getting off a shot in the closing seconds of regulation and held on in overtime to reach Friday's semifinals against No. 10 seed Utah, which knocked off No. 2 California in overtime earlier Thursday.
Damyean Dotson had 17 points and E.J. Singler added 16 for the Ducks.
A year ago, Washington (18-15) became the first team from a power conference to miss the NCAA tournament after winning the regular-season title, thanks to an opening loss to Oregon State in the Pac-12 tournament. The Huskies could be out of the bracket after coming up short again in this year's tourney.
C.J. Wilcox led Washington with 19 points, Scott Suggs added 18 and Abdul Gaddy had 14 with five rebounds and five assists.
``Our inability to make shots and take care of the ball was the difference in the game,'' Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said. ``They did a good job of pressuring.''
Wilcox put Washington up 64-62 on a turnaround with 50 seconds left in regulation, and Oregon's Johnathan Loyd hit two free throws to tie it. Washington had a final chance in regulation but fumbled the ball away without getting a shot.
In overtime, Kazemi scored six straight points, with his two-handed slam on the break putting the Ducks up 72-65. He then followed a basket by Suggs with a three-point play that made it an eight-point game.
Not bad for a player who had one point in the first half and spent a sizable chunk of the second on the bench.
``I just didn't think he was very sharp,'' Altman said. ``But I thought he made big plays down the stretch.''
Oregon was the early front-runner in the Pac-12 race before a few slip-ups knocked them to the No. 3 seed.
The Ducks started the season 18-3 and won their first seven conference games before losing three straight. Oregon won five of the next six but closed with road losses to Colorado and Utah to drop out of the rankings.
It was a disappointing finish, but the Ducks' season still was good enough to earn Altman coach-of-the-year honors in the Pac-12 and Oregon a likely spot in the NCAA tournament.
Washington played a wild opening game of the Pac-12 tournament, blowing a 19-point second-half lead - and a 15-point advantage with 8:35 left - before pulling out a 64-62 win over rival Washington State.
Oregon swept the season series, beating Washington by five at home and by 13 in Seattle.
Round 3 began as an offensive shootout. Washington went on an 11-0 run to go up 23-14 and hit 13 of 27 shots in the first half. Oregon answered with a 13-4 run to tie it and shot 14 of 28 before halftime.
Both made 4 of 6 from the 3-point line, with Oregon going into the break with a 39-34 lead.
The shooting fell off early in the second half, but both teams were struggling, so the game remained close.
Washington missed its chance at the end of regulation and couldn't stop Kazemi in overtime, ending its tournament-title hopes.
``We hope it's not the last game,'' Suggs said. ``We never thought it would end like this.''
- SR F Arsalan Kazemi scored 11 points and had four rebounds in the five-minute overtime period after three points and five boards in 25 minutes during regulation.
- Kazemi made 6 of 7 free throws after converting just 9 of 20 in the previous two games combined.
- SR C Tony Woods had a career-high 19 points
- SR F E.J. Singler recorded the 700th rebound of his UO career and now has 701.
- Oregon's 39 first-half points were its most since 41 vs. No. 4 Arizona on Jan. 10.
- FR G Dominic Artis made his first start since Jan. 23 vs. Washington State.
- The Ducks improved to 8-5 all-time in the quarterfinal round of the conference tournament.
- UO's 24 wins equalled last season's total (24-10).
- FR G Damyean Dotson scored 17 points, his highest scoring output since the Pac-12 opener at Oregon State on Jan. 6.

TEMPE – While the USA Track and Field Championships are still on the horizon, the Arizona State University track and field squad has wrapped up yet another successful season with both teams finish in the top 30 at both the indoor and outdoor championships while posting several conference champions and All-Americans as well as three national champions and several school records.
Here's a look back at the highlights of the 2013 season for the Sun Devils:
Throws coach David Dumble continued to show off his prowess in the area with all three of the national championships this season out of any sport on campus coming out of his batch of student-athletes. Jordan Clarke won his fourth NCAA Championship in the shot put at the NCAA Indoor Championships earlier this year while Chelsea Cassulo and Anna Jelmini won the hammer and discus throw competitions, respectively, at the outdoor championships this past weekend.
With this year's results in the fold, Dumble now lays claim to having helped coach 24 student-athletes to national championship performances since his arrival during the 2001-02 campaign.
The Sun Devils have now earned 30 individual NCAA titles since head coach Greg Kraft took over the helm in 1996. To put that into perspective, the program had only won 26 individual titles in program history, which dates as far back as the early 1900s, prior to his arrival.
The Sun Devils posted five First-Team All-Americans as well as three second-team All-Americans and a second-team All-American relay at the recent NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore. Indoors, seven Sun Devils earned first-team honors while four and a relay were named to the second-team.
The throws group posted six first-team honors under Dumble this season and brings his 12-year-total of All-Americans coached to 79 (including multi-events and second-team honorees) following the recent outdoor championships where Jordan Clarke (shot put), Chelsea Cassulo (hammer), Anna Jelmini (discus/shot) and Keia Pinnick (heptathlon) all earned some love.
The Sun Devils now have had 199 individual All-Americans during Kraft's reign and 29 All-American relays.
ASU's full list of NCAA Championship performance are as followed. Student-athletes finished first through eighth earned first team honors while those finishing ninth through 16th were named to the second-team.
NCAA Outdoor Championship Recap (Men)
Jordan Clarke – Second – Shot Put - 20.28m (66-06.50)
Men's 4x100m Relay (Spann, Henry, Burrows, Milus) – Ninth – 39.44

The Sun Devil women's track and field team posted a pair of top-10 finishes this season, finishing seventh overall at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark., and 10th overall at the outdoor championships. At the indoor championships the team was paced by runner-up finishes from Christabel Nettey in the long jump and Keia Pinnick in the pentathlon while Chelsea Cassulo and Anna Jelmini also got on the board in the weight throw and discus events, respectively.
Outdoors, Cassulo would go on to become ASU's first-ever national champion in the hammer throw while Anna Jelmini won her first career title in the discus. Pinnick finishes third in the heptathlon while Shelby Houlihan scored points for the Sun Devils at 1,500 meters with a seventh-place finish – the best by a Sun Devil in the event ever.
It was a tough year to be a school record at Arizona State as the squad downed five over the course of the season. Nick Happe and Shelby Houlihan got things going indoors at the Husky Classic in Seattle. Happe clocked a time of 7:52.18 at 3,000 meters to knock off Brandon Bethke's 2010 record of 7:54.27 while Houlihan took down one of the school's longest standing school record at 800 meters. The sophomore clocked a time of 2:04.94 and became the first Sun Devil under 2:05 in school history indoors as she took down Kim Toney's 1994 record of 2:05.12.
Outdoors it was all about the ladies with two long-standing records going down at the Sun Angel Classic in Tempe. Christabel Nettey dropped Jacinta Bartholomew's 1989 school record of 6.62m (21-08.75) with a massive leap of 6.75m (22-01.75) to win the competition just hours before Houlihan broke her second record of the year, clocking a time of 4:13.64 at 1,500 meters that was four seconds better than Priscilla Hein's 1999 record of 4:17.98.
Chelsea Cassulohad one of the greatest seasons in NCAA history, becoming just the seventh individual to ever throw over 70 meters in the hammer throw en route to becoming the sixth-best collegiate performer of all time. Her season's best of 70.07m (229-11) beat her own school record from earlier in the season, which she snatched away from Jessica Pressley's 2008 record of 68.31m (224-01).
Cassulo also set the NCAA all-time dual meet record in the event with her winning of the ASU-UA-NAU Double Dual at the end of the season and her mark of 69.52m (228-01).
At the Pac-12 Championships, Cassulo and Nettey both set conference championship meet records in their respective events . Nettey knocked off one of the longest-standing records in the conference as she downed Gail Devers' 1987 long jump record with her winning leap of 6.68m (21-11.00). Devers held the previous record with her mark of 6.65m (21-10.00). Cassulo took down former USC standout Eva Orban's meet record of 67.53m (221-07) set in 2006 with her winning mark of 68.00m (223-01).
The Sun Devils won eight total conference championships this year (seven individual, one relay). That was the team's second-highest tally at a Pac-10/12 Championship in school history. Only the 2008 squad, where the squad won 13 total titles en route to a victory on the women's side and a runner-up finish for the men, fared better. ASU's eight titles were the second-most of any team in the conference. Only Oregon (9) had a better outing.
In finishing third overall, the ASU women have now finished in the top-four at the Pac-10/12 Championships in 11 of the last 12 seasons (since 2002). No other school in the conference can lay such a claim (Stanford has done so in 10 of the last 12). Taking that even a step more, ASU has been in the top-three at the conference championships in eight of the last nine seasons (since 2005). Again, no other school can lay such a claim (Stanford has done so in seven of the last nine).
On the men's side following the team's fourth-place finish this past weekend, the Sun Devils have been a top-four team in 11 of the last 14 seasons (since 2000). Only USC and Oregon (both 12 of 14) have a better track record in that time.
A complete list of accomplishment for the Pac-12 weekend can be found here: http://pitchforkposts.tumblr.com/post/50525354446/what-a-weekend-asu-t-f-pac-12-championship-recap
The Sun Devil men became the first team top win back-to-back MPSF indoor titles since UCLA accomplished the feat during the 2008-09 campaigns.
Nick Happe, Garrett Baker-Slama, Jordan Benesh and Sarah Geren all earned First-Team All-District honors for the Sun Devils on the CoSIDA 2013 Capital One Academic All-District® Men's and Women's Track & Field/Cross Country Teams. The three selections for the men mark ASU as the only team with multiple first-team selections in District VIII, which consists of Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawai'I, Nevadam Oregon, Utah, Washington and Canada.
The number of selections is substantial as the Sun Devils are one of just three programs to post three All-District selections in the nation. Only Southeast Missouri State and Georgia Tech also accomplished the feat.
The ASU squad picked up nine Pac-12 Conference All-Academic nods on the men's side – including six First-Team selections - and nine on the women's end as well
The six First-Team All-Academic selections for the Sun Devil men paced the conference as no other team in the league posted more than three selections onto the First Team.
Additionally, Nick Happe was named the Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Dang! Any jive goes up on PPV nowadays. I would not watch this card with the eyeballs of a thousand one-eyed giants. WTF! I'd not even watch it with the eyeballs of 15 15-eyed midgets from Mars. And Martians have antenas coming out of their dang noggins. So you will get awesome reception. True myth I saw it on some old-arse television show where a Martian dude was gettin' on his up-and-down raising of thos antenas. Hehehehehehe! Holla!
Finally something Radam and I can agree on! All of these minor fights on PPV are hurting boxing. Who watches these PPVs? Only the best fights make the PPV. I have no problem ordering a big fight on PPV. Have some friends over, make a night of it. Segura-Calderon may be a great fight but who will ever see it? Adamek-McBride will suck and no one will watch. Adamek is fighting corpse after corpse. He is trying to ride that win over Arreola to a Klitchko payday. I got a PPV idea for the Adamek gravedigging crew. Put the title shot on the line vs someone you're own size. Evander Holyfield.
Whadup, EM! Now the above that the Roast spit was a Quote of Note classic! C'mon! EM, that QON that is there right now is TIRED! Da sucka has been there for a month. It seems like it's been a year or two. C'mon, EM, show da luv. Holla!
Thanks Radam. I still like any of my Bradley bashing better and BOOM! Bradley splits open the Roast's eyebrow!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

My husband just finished his fourth VAD chemo treatment (vincristine, Adriamycin/doxorubicin and dexamethasone) for stage IIIA multiple myeloma. He has responded well to chemo and would like to start a maintenance drug therapy instead of stem cell transplant, basically to avoid toxicity and quality-of-life issues. We've been told that a combination of thalidomide and dexamethasone has shown a four-year remission rate in some patients, with a switch to Revlimid (lenalidomide) and dexamethasone if necessary. My husband is 58 years old. Do you have any other advice?
Since your husband is young, I recommend that you seek the opinion of a physician who does stem cell transplants to see if he would be a good candidate for the procedure before you rule it out. You might also consider speaking with a few patients who have gone through an autologous stem cell transplant for myeloma to get an insider's perspective.
Undergoing a stem cell transplant will increase your husband's chances of achieving a complete remission from his myeloma. If that happens, he would not have to take any chemotherapy for some time. During this time, he would not develop side effects from the chemotherapy, nor would his disease develop resistance to the available drugs.
If you still choose maintenance therapy over a stem cell transplant, I would recommend using 100 milligrams of thalidomide every night or else 40 milligrams/day of dexamethasone for four consecutive days out of every 28 days. I would save combination therapy (such as thalidomide and dexamethasone or Revlimid and dexamethasone) until your husband's disease was no longer stable on one drug alone. Long-term combination therapy can produce significant side effects (for example, fatigue and neuropathy) and has not been shown to have any impact on survival rates when used as maintenance therapy.

It has been one year since Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight, and Gina DeJesus were liberated from Ariel Castro's house on Seymour Avenue in Cleveland, and while we can remember the miracle of their discovery, there are many whom are still missing. Their families still wait in vigil to hear of their return and their safety.
Yet, we as a culture do not pick up on signs of abduction well. When it came to Berry, Knight, and DeJesus, neighbors saw signs but didn't think anything of it and let it pass. Maybe this is just a side effect of our culture and how commonplace violence against women is, but at the same time, what is the usual when someone is suspicious?
If we look at the 1954 film Rear Window, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and starring James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Thelma Ritter, and Raymond Burr, we can explore in our own mindset how we act out our suspicions. The film is about an injured photographer, Jeff, who spends his recovery time looking out his apartment window and spying on his neighbors. His nurse (Ritter), Stella always goats him on being a peeping Tom before, during, and after their insured time together. His girlfriend, Lisa(Kelly) does her best to bring the outside world to him and wonders why he cares more about the happenings of his neighbors than about their future together. He has nicknames for his neighbors, "Miss Torso" for the dancer in the apartment right across the way, "Miss Lonelyhearts" for the woman who is romantically lonely, among others. He shares his commentary even about the traveling salesman across the way (Burr) and his invalid wife. One night, he hears some woman scream "Don't!" and glass breaking. During the night, he is awakened by thunder, and sees the salesman leave his apartment at odd hours of the night with a suitcase. Then, in the morning, he sees the salesman wrap a large knife and a handsaw into newspaper, and notices the wife is gone. He thinks the salesman murdered his wife. He shares these observant theories with his nurse and his girlfriend, who are convinced by his suspicions, and by what they see with him on his neighbors' behavior. He then tells his police detective friend Doyle (Wendell Corey) to look in on him, but when he does, he comes up with nothing, and nothing again after a repeat search of detail. Jeff decides to play detective and continue his investigation. In the meantime, the neighborhood dog dies with his neck split open, and while the entire neighborhood feels shock and pity for their neighbor, the salesman does not come outside, which confirms Jeff's suspicions. You will have to see the film to see how it ends.
The film remains relevant today on account of dramatically exploring the usual. The usual seems to be still that people have suspicions, they either do not pursue them or when they do, are met with institutional disbelief, and the person who suspects either continues to get the attention of the law, or brushes it off. The fact that this still goes on more than fifty years later is not something to be proud of. If this film teaches anything, its the basic saying- "If you see something, say something." If more people said something when they see or hear violence against women, there is hope that there will be a better, more equitable commonplace.

Brain & Nervous System Health Center
Awake-During-Surgery Device Worth a Nod?
Does BIS Brain Monitor Cut Waking During Surgery? continued...
In 2004, a clinical trial suggested that the device cut the risk of anesthesia awareness among high-risk surgery patients. Driven by media reports of patients who experienced waking during surgery -- and by a frightening Hollywood movie, Awake -- Advent's device became widely used. It's now found in about 60% of all U.S. operating rooms and is used in about 17% of surgeries requiring general anesthesia.
But does the device work better than the standard technique tracking the amount of anesthetic gas a patient exhales? Avidan and colleagues tested this in a new clinical trial that enrolled patients with at least one factor that put them at high risk of anesthesia awareness.
The researchers randomly assigned about 1,000 surgical patients to the Aspect BIS monitor, and about 1,000 patients to standard monitoring (except that an alarm was set to go off when exhaled anesthesia levels dropped below optimal levels).
Four patients experienced anesthesia awareness. Two were in the standard monitoring group. Two were in the group that got BIS monitoring.
"I don't think, presently, the evidence would persuade me that use of technologies like BIS monitoring would reduce the likelihood of anesthesia awareness," Avidan says. "I would still use these monitors, but only in the context of clinical trials. We are doing a 6,000-patient study in high-risk patients. And the University of Michigan is doing a 30,000-patient study. It seems strange to me there should be such a widespread change in practice before we have more compelling evidence than only one trial demonstrating benefit."
An editorial by Beverley A. Orser, MD, PhD, professor of anesthesia and physiology at the University of Toronto, accompanies Avidan and colleagues' report in the March 13 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. Orser says she is not surprised that the BIS monitor was no better than enhanced anesthesia monitoring at preventing waking during surgery.
"I question the ability of this device to prevent anesthesia awareness because I don't think it is targeting the areas of the brain responsible for this activity," Orser tells WebMD. "We had the device at our center and tried it, and our group did not feel it was something of sufficient value to justify the cost. Our decision as a group was this is not validated enough to use for clinical practice."

Lifetime Heritable Effect of Space Radiation on Mouse embryos Preserved for a long-term in ISS (Embryo Rad) - 03.16.16
Exposure to radiation from the sun and cosmic sources is one of the biggest concerns for astronauts on prolonged space missions, and the Lifetime Heritable Effect of Space Radiation on Mouse embryos Preserved for a long-term in ISS (Embryo Rad) will study mice to examine the possible effects of space radiation on the entire body. Frozen mouse embryos will be exposed to the radiation environment of the International Space Station, and then the embryos will return to Earth to be implanted into surrogate mothers and to live out their lives. Scientists will be able to study any possible changes in the animals' lifespan, cancer development, and gene mutations that may result from exposure to radiation.

Experiment Description
Research Overview
- One of major concerns of human health during prolonged stay in space environment, such as a space station increment or manned exploration-class Mission, is carcinogenic and trans-generational effects after exposure to the space radiation.
- In order to study the influence of the space radiation on the whole human body, mouse embryos are installed in ISS for a long duration stay in a frozen condition. After return to Earth, they are thawed and allowed to develop and to live throughout their lifetime. The mice are then studied for longevity, cancer development, and mutations in their genes (chromosome aberration and point mutations).
- Several mice strains are used, including wild-type, DNA-repair-deficient mice, and cancer prone knockout mice. The DNA damages to the mice induced by the space radiation is then studied, which can be detected during fetal stage and after birth. The study of whole body effects by the space radiation using mice as a model is an indispensable means of providing the basic radiation exposure data for humans.
One of the major concerns of human health during prolonged stay in space environment, such as long duration manned flight beyond low earth orbit, or a stay in a space station, is carcinogenesis and trans-generational effects after exposure to space radiation. Therefore, the study of the effects of space radiation on the whole body using mice is an indispensable means to provide the basic data for humans. However, at present mice cannot be launched to ISS. To research for whole body effect, researchers suggest a new system is proposed that utilizes frozen embryos of mice. Consequently, the following approaches are planned in present study to clarify the influence of the space radiation.
1) Mouse embryos are stored on the ISS for a certain period of time in a frozen condition. After return to Earth, the embryos are unfrozen to generate "Space mice" and be allowed to live their lives. Then, longevity, cancer development, and the gene mutations (chromosome aberration and point mutations) are analyzed. As a control group, 'Earth mice" will be set, of which embryos are kept under an equal condition within ISS.
2) Several mice strains are to be used, including wild-type, DNA-repair-deficient mice and cancer prone knockout mice.
3) Since methods have already established for cancer analysis, it is possible to complete most of studies, except lifespan, within one year after returning to Earth.
4) The consequences of the DNA damage induced by space radiation are to be analyzed, and can be detected during fetal stage and after birth.
Space Applications
Results from the Embryo Rad investigationcan help scientists better understand how space radiation exposure could cause cancer, and it allows a unique way to study potential trans-generational effects of the radiation exposure. The investigation helps researchers determine radiation exposure risk, and it can be used to design new radiation protection measures for future space missions.
Earth Applications
Radiation is frequently applied in therapeutic settings, especially for treatment of cancer. Proton and neutron therapies, which use particles to target cancer cells, is increasingly common. But little is known about the secondary cancer risk that may result from exposure to high-energy particles. Studying the potential cancer risk from space-based radiation, which includes high-energy particles from the sun and deep space, could help scientists to better understand the risks involved in ground-based radiation therapy.
