Focus on Textbooks
- College Open Textbooks Community Blog
- Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources list of free and open textbooksthat may be appropriate for community college curricula.
- Community College Open Textbook Collaborative (2010) joins colleges, government agenices, and education non-profit organizations. Its charge is to provide "training for instructors adopting open resources, peer reviews of open textbooks, an online professinal network, and support for authors." The Collaborative is funded by the //Hewlett Foundation//. The Collaborative identifies and reviews open textbooks. The texts are not stored on the site, but readers are directed to textbooks that are "worth a look."
- The Collaborative maintains that an "open textbook" must be:
- free, or very nearly free
- easy to use, acquire, and share
- editable, so that instructors may customize content
- compatible across platforms
- printable
- accessible so that it works with adaptive technology
- The Collaborative maintains that an "open textbook" must be:
- Dynamic Books. Interactive textbooks from Macmillan that are easily integrated into course management systems. This is a proprietary, not an open, resource.
- //Flat World Knowledge//is an online publisher of free and affordable "remixable" textbooks.
- Global Text Project , with plans to create a free library of 1,000 electronic texts for students in developing world. The library will cover the range of topics typically encountered in a university's undergraduate programs. The global academic community and global corporations will be engaged in creating and sponsoring this library. Funded by The Jacobs Foundation.
- Google Books Google founders began book digitization efforts in 2002. Google is currently collaborating with several major libraries to include their collections in Google Books and, like a card catalog, show users information about the book, and in many cases, a few snippets – a few sentences to display the search term in context. Google Books does contain complete texts for some titles where copyright infringement isn't an issue. But, more commonly, only sections or samples of books are included.

U.S. Charges 16 With Cyber Attacks on Paypal, AT&T, FBI Program
U.S. prosecutors arrested and charged 14 people with involvement in a cyber attack on EBay Inc.'s Paypal unit that the group Anonymous claims it instigated in retaliation for the online payment company suspending the account of WikiLeaks.
An indictment unsealed yesterday in San Jose, California, charges the individuals with conspiracy and intentional damage to a computer. Two others from New Mexico and Florida were arrested on cyber-related charges for improper access to computer files, the Justice Department said in an e-mailed statement.
Separately, a Cambridge, Massachusetts, man who is a former fellow at the Harvard University Center for Ethics, was charged by the U.S. with hacking into a computer network at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and stealing more than 4 million documents.
The arrests related to the Paypal attack were made in 10 states and the District of Columbia and 35 search warrants were executed across the U.S. as part of an investigation into coordinated computer attacks against major companies, according to the statement.
The charges stem from "denial of service attacks" which saturate targeted computers with communication requests so service is denied to legitimate users. According to the indictment, Anonymous was an online collective of individuals associated with collaborative hacking attacks motivated by political and social goals.
'Operation Avenge Assange'
The group referred to the attacks on Paypal as "Operation Avenge Assange," according to the indictment. Julian Assange is WikiLeaks' founder.
Paypal cut access to the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks.org's donation account in December citing violations of its service terms after WikiLeaks released a large amount of classified U.S. State Department cables on its website, according to the indictment.
Anonymous later took credit for a denial of service attack on Paypal as punishment for the company's actions. A federal grand jury in San Jose began taking evidence in February as prosecutors probed attacks on Paypal, MasterCard Inc. and Visa Inc.
The attacks occurred from Dec. 6 to Dec. 10, prosecutors said.
Anuj Nayar, a spokesman for San Jose-based Paypal, said the company has no comment on "ongoing legal action."
'Protect Our Customers'
"PayPal works with law enforcement around the world to protect our customers and their accounts," Nayar said in an e-mailed statement. "As we state in our privacy policy, PayPal works with law enforcement or government officials if we receive a subpoena or court order; if we need to do so to comply with law; or if we believe in good faith that illegal activity has occurred."
Also arrested yesterday was a New Mexico man who in April allegedly stole confidential business information stored on AT&T Inc. servers and posted it on a public file-sharing site, the Justice Department said. A complaint filed in federal court in New Jersey alleges that the documents he uploaded were the same ones that the computer hacking group LulzSec made public on the Internet June 25.
In another arrest, a Florida man who accessed without permission the website of a Tampa, Florida, nonprofit cyber-security program sponsored by the Federal Bureau of Investigation was charged with intentional damage to a protected computer.
Intentional Damage
The maximum penalty for intentional damage to a computer is 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Each count of conspiracy carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
In the MIT hacking case, Aaron Swartz, 24, was indicted on six counts including wire fraud and obtaining information from a protected computer, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office in Boston. He faces as long as 35 years in prison and a fine of as much as $1 million if convicted.
A message seeking comment left at a telephone number belonging to an Aaron Swartz in Cambridge wasn't immediately returned.
The Paypal attack case is U.S. v. Cooper, 11-471, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Jose).

Four Ways Parents Can Learn How To Prevent Obesity In Their Children
Childhood obesity has become a national epidemic, affecting 17% of American adolescents. As these young people mature into obese adults, it will further strain the health and productivity of the nation. In this article, we'll look at some of the causes of childhood obesity and ways that parents can set examples for a healthy lifestyle.
Causes Of Childhood Obesity
Kids don't simply become fat overnight. The two most common causes of childhood obesity are physical inactivity and poor nutrition. Society plays a huge role in this problem. Advertisements aimed at young consumers is commonplace. The sponsors of children's television programs often feature sweetened cereal and fast food advertisements, placing particular emphasis on friendships that can develop from eating together.
In reality those commercials are playing on group psychology via the bandwagon effect - when most people are doing something you should, too. When young people are constantly presented with images of other adolescents eating high calorie foods they'll become convinced that what they're seeing as natural behavior. This problem becomes amplified when they see classmates and peers overeating.
Government health officials point to the fact that many public school children have access to high calorie foods; some common places are vending machines, sporting events and fundraisers. With a limited number of options available to them, it's easy to understand why they may overconsume high calorie foods.
Parental involvement can't be overlooked. Lots of fat kids have fat parents. Parents who don't monitor what they eat are going to have a very difficult time setting proper nutrition examples for their children. Children learn by example and often emulate the behavior of adults. Which brings us to the next and most important section: what can parents do about obesity?
What Parents Can Do To Prevent Childhood Obesity
Parents can make healthy lifestyle a family tradition. First and foremost they must take a pro-active approach to the problem. Here are some common examples:
- Talking with your child. Child psychiatrist Foster W. Cline suggests a love-logic approach wherein parents and children have a gentle, productive conversation about overeating. When families participate in meaningful dialogue they develop a greater appreciation for each other, the exercise also teaches problem solving skills that the child can use to make better decisions about eating. In my opinion, part of this dialogue should include helping your child to remember that they have value in the eyes of God and to take comfort in Him rather than food.
- Paying close attention to the foods your child is eating and advertising strategies. Older adolescents are often allowed to purchase some of their own food items. Nonetheless parents should pay attention to the foods their children buy, encouraging them to look for healthier alternatives. Likewise, they should point out to their children that TV commercials featuring young people eating high calorie foods will become sick if they overeat.
- Participating in family recreation events. Families that play together stay together. Families can choose physical activities that promote team work and cooperation. Football, flying disk toss, and baseball are just a few of the many sports activities that families can do together.
- Encourage positive thinking. Confident, happy people tend to be healthier than people whom are unhappy (read my article "Be Happy To Be Alive" for more information on this topic). Parents should encourage their children to see the good within themselves and to never use food as a crutch against their problems.
The obesity epidemic is not irreversible, parents and children can turn the tide when they make a commitment to do so.

I love the rugs, the color is beautiful (I got the platinum silver). I painted my bathroom lilac and the silver in the rugs picks up the color from the walls.
The only draw back is the cover for the toilet seat was way too small. As far as I know I have a standard toilet. But it was still a great price for the 2 rugs.
Love the color, very happy with it. Goes well with my gray Shower curtain.

Release Date:
January 24, 2012
Date Published:
January 24, 2012
Before Gabrielle Hamilton opened her acclaimed New York restaurant Prune, she spent twenty hard-living years trying to find purpose and meaning in her life. Blood, Bones & Butter follows an unconventional journey through the many kitchens Hamilton has inhabited through the years: the rural kitchen of her childhood, where her adored mother stood over the six-burner with an oily wooden spoon in hand; the kitchens of France, Greece, and Turkey, where she was often fed by complete strangers and learned the essence of hospitality; Hamilton's own kitchen at Prune, with its many unexpected challenges; and the kitchen of her Italian mother-in-law, who serves as the link between Hamilton's idyllic past and her own future family—the result of a prickly marriage that nonetheless yields lasting dividends. By turns epic and intimate, Gabrielle Hamilton's story is told with uncommon honesty, grit, humor, and passion.
Look for special features inside.
Join the Circle for author chats and more.
BLOOD, BONES AND BUTTER is a gripping memoir of a woman growing up and finding her place in the world. The fact that she became the chef and owner of a successful restaurant (Prune) in New York's East Village is not exactly the point, though it provides a satisfying arena in which the drama of defining professional struggles can be played out. And, practically speaking, it offers a popular niche in which this moving book can land and hopefully be discovered. Gabrielle Hamilton has written a convincing testament to the fact that having something you care passionately about--even in a vague and undefined way--often presents the best chance for a lost soul to emerge from the mire of despair, drugs, and underachievement. Her honesty and the clarity of her writing will captivate non-foodies as well as those who want the inside goods on the food world.
- Genre: Biography + Autobiography, Cooking + Food + Wine

Read an Excerpt
PICTURE HISTORY OF THE Queen Mary AND THE Queen Elizabeth
By WILLIAM H. MILLER JR.
Dover Publications, Inc.Copyright © 2004 William H. Miller, Jr.
All rights reserved.
The history of the Cunard Line, or the Cunard Steam-Ship Company, Limited, as it was once more formally known, is practically the history of the old North Atlantic passenger service itself. Cunard dominated, competed, innovated, and certainly built some of the most significant passenger ships of all time. They began with a 200-foot-long paddle steamer in the nineteenth century, and now own the 1,132-foot-long Queen Mary 2, the largest ocean liner of all time.
Celebrating their 165th anniversary in 2005, Cunard was started in 1839 by a Nova Scotian shipowner, Samuel Cunard. Together with three partners, he luckily obtained the prized mail contract to America from the British Admiralty. The stage was set: he ordered no less than four new packet steamers, and the first of these, the 1,100-ton Britannia, sailed from Liverpool to Boston in July 1840. The crossing took fourteen days. The Cunard Line was in business.
By 1900, Cunard transatlantic service, sailing to New York, Boston, and Eastern Canada, were both popular and profitable. Cunard ships were known for their reliability, punctuality, and splendid service. Also, Cunarders (as they were called), seemed always to be in the news as the recipients of acclaim and notation. It was aboard the Lucania in 1901, for example, that Marconi carried out his first practical experiments with wireless telegraphy. Two years later, the same ship published the first onboard passenger newspaper carrying daily wireless reports. Another Cunarder, the Carpathia, achieved something close to maritime immortality as the principal rescue ship for the passengers of the Titanic in April 1912.
In 1905, Cunard introduced two of the biggest and grandest liners then afloat: the 20,000-ton sisters Carmania and Caronia. Soon afterward, in 1907, Cunard's built two of the world's most spectacular superliners, the 32,000-ton Mauretania and Lusitania. 1913 welcomed a bigger and more luxurious ship in the form of the 48,000-ton Aquitania.
It was in the 1930s, however, that Cunard produced two of its most extraordinary vessels, the incomparable 81,000-ton Queen Mary and then the 83,000-ton Queen Elizabeth. They ran the world's first weekly, two-ship service across the Atlantic and proved to be, at least for most of their careers, the most successful pair of liners yet built. Their successor, the 65,000-ton Queen Elizabeth 2, was added in 1969, and then, biggest of all, the 150,000-ton Queen Mary 2 had her debut in 2004.
Cruising has also been an important part of Cunard, including the first, complete around-the-world cruise in 1922 onboard the Laconia. Later, in 1948, Cunard built the very first big liner for full-time luxury cruising, the 34,000-ton "second" Caronia. Owned by Miami-headquartered Carnival Cruise Lines since 1998, Cunard has been revitalized with the likes of the Queen Mary 2 and the addition of the 85,000-ton Queen Victoria in 2007. That distinguished corporate name continues as proudly as ever.
In the mid-1930s, Cunard merged with its long-standing rival, the White Star Line, and prepared for the delivery of the record-breaking Queen Mary. While the numbers of passengers on the Atlantic had certainly declined in those otherwise lean Depression years, Cunard was running six of the world's most prestigious, largest, and assuredly most luxurious ocean liners: Mauretania, Aquitania, and Berengaria, along with the Majestic, Olympic, and Homeric. No other company could quite compare with Cunard. But though they were large, well decorated, and had their loyal passengers, those six big liners under the new Cunard–White Star house flag were aging and dated. They were becoming less competition to the likes of the French and the Germans, all of whom had or were planning far newer ships. The Mauretania, for example, dated from 1907, and had reached old age for an ocean liner by the mid-1930s. Consequently, plans were in place by the late 1920s for the new Queen Mary, which was hoped to reestablish Cunard's prominent position on the lucrative but fiercely competitive North Atlantic run. The prestige of the company, as well as of Britain herself, rested in the balance.
CARMANIA. By the turn of the century, competition on the North Atlantic was intensifying at a furious pace. Cunard was not only struggling to compete with the new luxury ships of Britain's White Star Line, but also across the North Sea with the Germans, namely the Hamburg America Line and the North German Lloyd. In response, Cunard laid plans for bigger, better, more notable ships. While designing a particularly handsome pair of twin-stackers–ships that in fact would be nicknamed "the Pretty Sisters"–Cunard engineers became intrigued with the new concept of steam turbine drive. It was said to be an improvement over the steam reciprocating system, which was not only less efficient, but often dirty as well. And so, the company opted to experiment by outfitting the Carmania with the steam turbine system and the Caronia with the standard reciprocating steam engines. In comparison tests, the Carmania proved faster, smoother riding, and far more economical, and so opened a whole new era in ocean liner propulsion. Thereafter, almost all other passenger ships were constructed according to the Carmania's innovation. In the lean years of the early Depression, the twins were used as cruise ships for $50 weeklong trips between New York and Havana, but their long, hardworking careers finally ended in 1932. The Carmania, seen here (opposite, top), on November 20, 1932, is being stripped of her art treasures and other passenger finery at the Tilbury Docks in London before proceeding to the ship breakers in Scotland. The Caronia's final voyage brought her to Japan, where she was demolished. [Built by John Brown & Company Limited, Clydebank, Scotland, 1905. 19,524 gross tons; 675 feet long; 72 feet wide. Steam turbines, triple screw. Service speed 18 knots. 2,650 passengers as built (300 first-class, 350 second- class, 900 third-class, 1,100 steerage).]
LUSITANIA. The Carmania and Caronia were, in ways, preludes to bigger, faster, more lavish Cunarders–superliners that could surpass the big German passenger ships. The British government was happy to assist with construction subsidies and operating contracts, especially for mail to and from America, especially after White Star was bought out by J. P. Morgan, the New York-based financier. London ministers wanted British- owned liners to carry the nation's colors, enhance national prestige, and, in case of war, be available for military purposes. The Lusitania (above), her profile dominated by four tall smokestacks, arrived first in September 1907. She made news rather expectedly on both sides of the Atlantic and was an instant success. The interested public was informed, for example, that she was more than three New York City blocks in length, had three million turbine plates, 192 furnaces, and consumed a thousand tons of coal per day. She could reach as much as 25 knots for her six-day passages between New York and Liverpool. Inside, she was every inch one of the world's "floating palaces," with gleaming marble and polished woods, stained glass skylights, and potted palm verandas. Unfortunately, she came to a tragic end on May 7, 1915. While steaming for Liverpool, she was torpedoed by a German U-boat off southwestern Ireland. Onboard, 1,198 perished out of a total of 1,959 passengers and crew. Considered the worst ocean liner tragedy of the First World War, her sinking, along with other events, gradually drew neutral America into the conflict against the German Kaiser's forces. [Built by John Brown & Company Limited, Clydebank, Scotland, 1907. 31,550 gross tons; 787 feet long; 87 feet wide. Steam turbines, quadruple screw. Service speed 25 knots. 2,165 passengers (563 first-class, 464 second-class, 1,138 third-class).]
MAURETANIA. The Mauretania was commissioned two months after its cousin, the Lusitania, in November 1907. She took the Blue Riband for the speediest transatlantic crossing, earning her the distinction of the world's fastest liner until 1929, with the arrival of Germany's brand new Bremen. The Mauretania was not only always more prestigious than the Lusitania, but more popular and beloved. She endeared herself to the traveling public, as well as to onlookers, harbor crews, and steamer enthusiasts. Her luxurious appointments had a more "Continental" tone, which included Italian Renaissance and French influences. For her first-class library alone, 300 wood-carvers were brought from Palestine to create the wood paneling and carving. Unlike the Lusitania, the Mauretania also had a long, largely successful career. After serving as a valiant troopship in the First World War, she resumed Atlantic liner service, teamed with the Aquitania and the newly acquired Berengaria as part of Cunard's "Big Three." The Mauretania is seen here on October 27, 1932 (opposite, bottom), docking at the so-called New Docks at Southampton, a brand new facility at the port of Southampton. The Mauretania was the first liner to use the berths for a winter overhaul. [Built by Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson Limited, Newcastle, England, 1907. 31,938 gross tons; 790 feet long; 88 feet wide. Steam turbines, quadruple screw. 2,335 passengers as built (560 first-class, 475 second-class, 1,300 third-class).]
Even though Cunard was planning a new superliner in 1929 ("a ship exceeding 60,000 tons," as they reported), the Atlantic passenger trade soon faced lean times. Following the Wall Street crash of October 1929, travel began to slump badly. One million voyagers sailed to Europe in 1930, but the number had dropped to 500,000 by 1935. Even Cunarders were sailing at less than capacity. Sailings to and from British ports were reduced, but to avoid lay-up for their liners, some were pressed into still-affordable, short-cruise service. Beginning in 1930, the venerable Mauretania (above) began spending more and more time on short trips to Bermuda, Nassau, Havana, and even on long weekends up to Halifax, Nova Scotia. A five-day summer trip to Bermuda was priced from $45, but far less costly and therefore more popular were overnight "cruises to nowhere," which had rates beginning at $10 per person. Still caught in Prohibition, the bars on ships such as the British-registered Mauretania could be legally opened once at sea, and so thirsty Americans were free to once again enjoy their libations. Dubbed "booze cruises," these voyages were immensely popular and actually saved ships such as the Mauretania from premature sailings to the scrappers. To enhance her all-cruising role, the veteran four-stacker was repainted white in 1932. It not only made her seem more tropical, but actually kept her interior as much as ten degrees cooler.
AQUITANIA. Following the enormous success of the Lusitania and the Mauretania since 1907, Cunard had but a few years before they had to compete with bigger, faster, and certainly more luxurious liners. White Star Line, for example, added no less than three large liners: the 46,000-ton Olympic in 1911, Titanic a year later, and–bigger still–the 48,000-ton Gigantic (later renamed Britannic) in 1914. But the Germans, namely the mighty Hamburg America Line, had even more ambitious plans: the 52,000-ton Imperator for 1913, the 54,000-ton Vaterland for the following year, and then, capping off the trio, the 56,000-ton Bismarck in 1914. Cunard, already needing a third big liner to cover a weekly service route between Liverpool and New York, had to respond and reaffirm its position. The result was the 45,000-ton Aquitania, which, while not the fastest or even the largest, was acclaimed for her beauty, both inside and out. Soon after her completion in the spring of 1914, she was fondly dubbed "the Ship Beautiful." She, too, did heroic duty in World War I, then returned to Cunard's express service, which had been changed from Liverpool to Southampton by 1920. An enduring ship, also known as the "Grand Old Aquitania" in her later years, she was scheduled for well-deserved retirement in 1940, just as the new Queen Elizabeth was to join the Queen Mary. But when World War II started in September 1939, those plans were shelved as the Aquitania was sent to serve as trooper in another war. She even returned to Cunard passenger service before going to the scrappers in 1950. By then, she was the last of the Edwardian "floating palaces," and the last of the great four-stackers. She is seen here (below) in the early evening of August 30, 1939, leaving New York's Pier 90 for what would be her final eastbound sailing before the war in Europe officially started on September 3. [Built by John Brown & Company Limited, Clydebank, Scotland, 1914. 45,647 gross tons; 901 feet long; 97 feet wide. Steam turbines, quadruple screw. Service speed 23 knots. 3,230 passengers as built (618 first-class, 614 second-class, 1,998 third-class).]
Considered by many to be one of the most splendid of all Atlantic liners, the Aquitania indeed had many beautiful features. Here we see some of her more palatial spaces: the first-class smoking room (above), Garden Lounge (opposite, top), the main staircase and foyer (opposite, middle), and swimming pool with adjoining gymnasium (opposite, bottom).
SAMARIA. Following World War I and considerable losses to its fleet, strategizing at Cunard's Liverpool headquarters became more conservative. Ideas of building big, fast liners were pushed aside, at least for the next ten years or so. Among other reasons, it was widely believed that the postwar Atlantic passenger trade would be more moderate. In fact, the immigrant trade would dwindle substantially following the installation of American immigration quotas of 1924. The old third-class and steerage quarters, for example, had to be refitted and restyled as a less spartan, very affordable tourist class. Among the new Cunarders of the early 1920s were the Samaria (opposite, top) and her two sisters, Scythia and Laconia. Weighing a moderate 20,000 tons and with a comparatively slow speed of 16 knots, she had modest interiors and a simple, single-stack exterior. [Built by Cammel, Laird & Company Limited, Birkenhead, England, 1921. 19,602 gross tons; 624 feet long; 73 feet wide. Steam turbines, twin screw. Service speed 16 knots. 2,190 passengers (350 first-class, 340 second-class, 1,500 third-class).]
AURANIA. Cunard built an even more moderate series of six sister ships (Antonia, Andania, Ausonia, Aurania (opposite, bottom), Alaunia, and Ascania) primarily for their alternate Canadian services to Quebec City and Montreal, or to Halifax in the winter when the ice-clogged St. Lawrence was closed. In many ways, these ships were offshoots of the larger, grander Aquitania. [Built by Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson Shipbuilders Limited, Newcastle, England, 1924. 13,984 gross tons; 538 feet long; 65 feet wide. Steam turbines, twin screw. Service speed 15 knots. 1,688 passengers (510 cabin-class, 1,178 third-class).]
LANCASTRIA. Seen here off Liverpool on November 7, 1938 (above), the Lancastria belonged to the Glasgow-based Anchor Line and was initially named Tyrrhenia. She was bought bv Cunard before completion, and retained her original name for almost two years before it changed to Lancastria during a winter refit in 1924. She had no identical or even similar sisters within the Cunard fleet, but nevertheless was a popular Atlantic liner as well as one-class cruise ship. She sailed from New York, Southampton, and Liverpool in the 1930s. [Built by William Beardmore & Company, Glasgow, Scotland, 1922. 16,243 gross tons; 578 feet long; 70 feet wide; 30-foot draft. Steam turbines, twin screw. Service speed 16.5 knots. 1,846 passengers (235 first-class, 355 second-class, 1,256 third-class).]

Creating a watercolor effect
Creating a watercolor effect
Here is one way we can create a watercolor effect and really work the texture of the watercolor in to the texture of the paper layer below. So here is our finished version and here I have just a layer of flat color and to this layer I've applied the Note Paper filter and then on top of that we have the watercolor and without the filter it would look like that and you see I have also painted in the edges on the layer mask get a nice effect to frame the image and then just to compensate for the darkening of the watercolor filter I've added an Adjustment layer at the top.
Here is our starting point; and the first thing I'm going to do is turn off the picture layer and come to he paper layer which is currently a small object so I can apply Smart filters to it. Now I am going come to the Sketch group and to Note Paper and I think I may be want to take the relief of that down just little bit so its not quite as bumpy and everything else can stay as is, so I am going to click OK to...

- Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many immature lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell).
- Family history and exposure to radiation may affect the risk of developing childhood ALL.
- Possible signs of childhood ALL include fever and bruising.
- Tests that examine the blood and bone marrow are used to detect (find) and diagnose childhood ALL.
- Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.

- What is the treatment for recurrent childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)?
Family history and exposure to radiation may affect the risk of developing childhood ALL.
Anything that increases your risk of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. People who think they may be at risk should discuss this with their doctor. Possible risk factors for ALL include the following:
- Having a brother or sister with leukemia.
- Being white or Hispanic.
- Living in the United States.
- Being exposed to x-rays before birth.
- Being exposed to radiation.
- Past treatment with chemotherapy or other drugs that weaken the immune system.
- Having certain changes in genes or genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome.
Possible signs of childhood ALL include fever and bruising.
These and other symptoms may be caused by childhood ALL. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms. A doctor should be consulted if any of the following problems occur:
- Fever.
- Easy bruising or bleeding.
- Petechiae (flat, pinpoint, dark-red spots under the skin caused by bleeding).
- Bone or joint pain.
- Painless lumps in the neck, underarm, stomach, or groin.
- Pain or feeling of fullness below the ribs.
- Weakness, feeling tired, or looking pale.
- Loss of appetite.

Motorola cools on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich updates
They won't always work so it won't always do them
PHONE MAKER Motorola has irked its users by telling them that it will not be updating all of its smartphones to the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.
In a blog post at the end of last week the firm explained to users why they are not getting the updates that they want. "Wondering about software updates for your device? You're not alone," it said.
"You may be wondering why all devices aren't being upgraded to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Here's the deal. We work very closely with Google and cell phone carriers for every software update. And, obviously we want the new release to improve our devices. If we determine that can't be done-well then, we're not able to upgrade that particular device. Happy upgrading!"
Users are not happy, and are complaining that their phones, which are less than a year old in some cases, are being denied a refresh while others are getting it with no problems.
"My Droid 3 isn't even a year old, and Motorola has decided not to upgrade it. Phones with slower processors, less RAM, and manufacturers with fewer resources have been upgraded to ICS. This is an infuriating call by Motorola, as it was made with one factor in mind: money," said one poster in the comments.
"Google are going to have a seriously difficult time trying to rebuild any trust in the Motorola brand," added another.
Although some devices will get the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update, many will not. Motorola updated its upgrade information pages to coincide with its blog and it shows that a good cluster of its hardware releases will stay on Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
While the Razr, WiFi only Xoom and Xoom 2 are already earmarked for upgrades this Summer and beyond, the Atrix MB860 and MB861 are still being evaluated for suitability along with the Xoom with WiFi and 3G. There are 15 devices in the No Upgrade column in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region.
Set to linger on Android 2.3 Gingerbread are the Defy Mini, Defy+ MB526, Fire, Fire XT XT531/XT532, Milestone 2 A953, Motoluxe, and Motorola Pro+. Running behind them, limping away on Android 2.2 Froyo are the Defy MB525, Milestone A853, Pro XT610, Charm MB502, Flipout MB511, and Milestone XT720. Lagging even further behind are the Backflip MB300 and Debt MD200, both of which are stuck on Android 1.5.
In the US the lists are pretty similar, albeit with some different names and more advanced releases, for example the Xoom 3 and Droid 3 are listed as sticking with Android 2.3.
Motorola has provided a full list and timetable for any users that are looking to get mad about their device's upgrade prospects. µ

Thursday, December 20, 2012
In his rebuttal to reshoring stories in the Atlantic, as we detailed in Part One, Alan Tonelson also brought up a good point about subsidizing reshoring for businesses which, although makes sense and is a good thing, is rather unsustainable in this current economic climate for the US (what with the huge national debt that the impending fiscal cliff is bringing into sharp relief).

Dr. Laura E. Gómez
The Metropolitan State University of Denver would like to introduce this year's distinguished professor, Dr. Laura Gómez of the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law.
Nuestros Destinos: (Re)Claiming Space, Identity, Power
Dr. Gómez will be joining us from October 10 - 12, 2016. More information will become available over the coming months, including a list of community events and details about her presentation. Both faculty and students are welcome to check back regularly to learn more about how Dr. Gómez's specialty might pertain to their classes or overall studies.
Laura E. Gómez is Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law and served as Vice Dean of Faculty Development from 2013-2015. She rejoined the faculty of UCLA Law in 2011 after serving as professor of law and American studies at the University of New Mexico from 2005-10. Before that, she spent 12 years as professor of law at UCLA Law. She was a co-founder and the first co-director of UCLA's Critical Race Studies Program.
Professor Gómez teaches in the areas of race and the law, law and society, and she has taught three first-year courses: Civil Procedure, Criminal Law, and Constitutional Law. She has lectured widely and has published numerous articles, book chapters, op-ed commentaries, and books. Her scholarship has focused on the intersection of law, politics and social stratification in both contemporary and historical contexts. Her books include Misconceiving Mothers: Legislators, Prosecutors and the Politics of Prenatal Drug Exposure (1997), which is widely taught in law and society and gender studies courses, and Manifest Destinies: The Making of the Mexican American Race (2007), which is widely taught in ethnic studies and history courses. In 2013, she published a co-edited volume (with Nancy López): Mapping "Race": Critical Approaches to Health Disparities Research. She currently has a book under advance contract with The New Press entitled A New Color Line: Latinos and the Future of Race.
Professor Gómez is the past president of the Law and Society Association (she was the youngest person and the first person of color ever elected), a multi-disciplinary organization of scholars who study law, legal actors and legal institutions in cultural and social context.
