Objective: Biopsy confirmed that cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) may naturally regress or progress. Currently, the risk assessment for CIN progression to cervical cancer is still not satisfactory in clinical practice. We investigated copy number and protein expression of TP63 and MYC and explored the possibility to use them as progression biomarkers.
Methods: Copy numbers of TP63 and MYC, as well as human papilloma virus (HPV) integration status, were determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization in 39 patients with CIN and 66 patients with cervical cancer. Corresponding protein expressions were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to measure the diagnostic test performance for the detection of cervical cancer from CIN. Sensitivity and specificity values of biomarkers were calculated.
Results: The average copy number and expression of TP63 and MYC, as well as the HPV integration rate, increased in the progression of CIN to cervical cancer. Receiver operating characteristic analysis for detection of cervical cancer resulted in area under the curve (AUC) values of TP63 copy number (AUC, 0.96; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.91–1.00), MYC copy number (AUC, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.85–0.96), TP63 expression (AUC, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.61–0.85), and HPV-16 integration (AUC, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.60–0.85). MYC expression was not able to statistically distinguish cancer from CIN (P = 0.393). The combinations increased the specificity slightly but not sensitivity. Among them, TP63 amplification showed the best diagnostic performance.
Conclusions: Amplification and overexpression of TP63 and MYC, and HPV integration rate, are associated with the transition of CIN to cervical cancer. Future studies on these biomarkers will help to assess the risk of CIN progression.

"Scandal is our growth industry. Revelation of wrongdoing leads not to definitive investigation, punishment, and expiation but to more scandal. Permanent scandal. Frozen scandal." [Via]
Torturing Democracy
"Torturing Democracy" is a new documentary which details how the government set aside the rule of law in its pursuit of harsh interrogations of suspected terrorists. You can watch it online or on some PBS affiliates, but PBS won't run it nationally until January 21, 2009. Scott Horton suspects that may be because PBS is afraid of political retaliation. [Via]

Merry Christmas, Mayor Daley
Last week, the Chicago Reader laid off four of its best journalists: John Conroy (previously), Harold Henderson, Tori Marlan, and Steve Bogira. The cuts almost certainly mark the beginning of the end of the paper's role in Chicago as an investigative force and a corruption watchdog. The New York Times responds with a salute to Conroy and a defense of muckraking's relevance. [more inside]
God Bless Helen Thomas
Being Press Secretary is a difficult job. Link to a hilariously uncomfortable transcript of Scott McClellan dancing his way through a White House press briefing doing his best to clarify whether or not the American government sanctions terror.
A Tale of Two Soldiers
A tale of two West Virginia soldiers: one named Jessica, one named Lynndie. Both are on opposite sides of the propaganda war. One is a hero, one is a monster. No, wait - actually, one is a fraud, one was just following orders. No wait, one is perky and blonde, the other is kind of butch and ugly. Now I'm all confused. Help me Metafilter, you're my only hope.

Like a moth drawn to a flame, celebrities have flocked by the half dozen to Amarillo this week. It started with Kristen Stewart, Twilight movie star, visiting our local Hooter's, which is considered a celebrity hotspot by those in the know. And alternative rock band Guster also spent some time off here during their summer tour this week.
You can read about the band's trip here, which involves the obligatory trip to Cadillac Ranch, lunch at the Potato Factory and beard dying ("All told, it only took me an hour and a half to brush the gray out of my beard in five minutes."), but the real highlight?
From the Guster blog: "Suddenly a scary guy in a pickup truck pulls up next to me and rolls down his window. He has a big beard (in need of a little JFM-Red) and a camouflage hat. He is The Most Frightening Man In Amarillo and he is going to shoot me with a gun. Oh wait, it's just Ryan Miller."
Miller, Guster's frontman, had tweeted a request to borrow a pickup, and Amarillo delivered.
With that kind of hospitality, maybe we can make celebrity cameos here a regular thing, and perhaps even encourage our high profile visitors to check out one of our many attractions that isn't the Cadillac Ranch or fried chicken.

Posted on December 31, 2012 in Miscellaneous
Here we are. Dec. 31 — and it's time to get wild! Well, maybe not wild exactly, but today's category is a wildcard. The playtesters got to choose anything they wanted for this category. The only limitation: It has to be something released in 2012. Anything goes. Here's what they picked.
Andy: "This and the Babolat AeroPro Drive 2013, were my two favorite racquets of 2012. This provides lots of power, spin and forgiveness, but the feel is great as well."
Tiffani: "I love this bag so much. It fits everything I need as a mom of a toddler and looks stylish doing so. I've had mine for most of this year, and it's still looking great. I've thrown it in the wash to clean it up, though the white stays remarkably clean, and it is no worse for wear. This is just an excellent duffle type bag that packs additional style."
Chris: "Tough conditions, tougher players and great tennis. Enough said."
Siobhan: "I'm known around the office as the bag lady, and of the bags that I've seen throughout the year I would have to choose this bag. It's high quality, organizable, made for comfort, yet professional, sleek and functional. It's big enough to fit everything you need in it, too (there's also the 6 pack if you like something smaller), and I really like the black colorway. It's great to keep everything you need in one place."
Jason: "I was super excited to try this out when it first launched. With this device, it was the first time I was able to measure certain aspects of my movement specific to tennis. I could see my longest rally, my overall miles ran and fastest speed among other variables. The device fits into most high performance adidas tennis shoes in a specific spot, but could also fit any tennis shoe. It connects wirelessly to a computer or iPhone/iPod/iPad. It's a very cool tool to have that makes tennis that much more fun. As if tennis needed it."
Karly: "Any other time I'd say tennis balls that have an opening are completely useless, but not with this one! No siree, this is one tennis ball that is anything but useless. Not only is this backpack made out of actual tennis ball material, but it has several compartments for storage, lots of padding for comfort, and it's media friendly with a laptop pocket and headphone opening. It's gotta be the world's most functional tennis ball!"
Brittany: "One of our newest products in the nutrition section, these Gatorade chews are not only convenient (individually packaged packs), but also delicious (comes in two flavors- fruit punch and orange). These chews are perfect to throw in to your tennis bag and pull them out to nibble on during an intense practice or match to sustain your energy levels."
Well, that's it, folks! We hope you had a great 2012 and wish you a Happy New Year!
Happy Hitting!
Tiffani, TW

BREAKING: Bucs Waive Former Third-Round Pick Myron Lewis
Bucs waive CB Myron Lewis, LB Marvin Booker; Sign CB Mason Robinson
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have waived cornerback Myron Lewis, the team announced Thursday afternoon on the eve of the Bucs' preseason opener.
Lewis played in 29 games for the Buccaneers and was used primarily in sub-packages. He totaled 17 tackles and four pass breakups.
Lewis was a third-round draft pick out of Vanderbilt in 2010. At?6-foot-2,?203 pounds, he?possessed the?ideal size and the length the Bucs scouting department?has always coveted.
But his lack of consistency -- he'd make a play in practice, and then get beaten badly -- eventually wore out his welcome with the team.
The Bucs also waived linebacker Marvin Booker, who joined the team this week but sustained an unspecified injury during practice.
The Bucs signed former Rutgers cornerback Mason Robinson, who was previously with the team in camp.

Community Schools have become a movement for growth and innovation. Making schools collaborate with communities to increase student learning, health services, youth and community development and engagement are some of the main focuses for the Coalition for Community Schools. The support of state administrators and legislator's to implement the community schools model in all public schools would provide resources for communities, families and students. Read More >
During this year's Community Schools National Forum, educators from around the nation were able to experience Albuquerque's homegrown Homework Diner program first hand. The program was designed to bring communities together for the greater good of student's education. The program unites parents, teachers, volunteers, tutors and culinary students to help students of the schools with homework while sharing a meal together. Read More >
Advocates for parent and community engagement see the newly revised federal K-12 law as an opportunity to expand their impact on states' academic goals, plans for school improvement, and other areas of policy. Quotes from Marty Blank, Director of the Coalition for Community Schools, highlight the importance of community members engaging with the ESSA planning process as power is devolved to the local level. He calls the bill a "clarion call for our folks to step up". Read More >
Philadelphia is currently developing its parameters for selecting the first 5 to 7 traditional public schools to receive community school funding. Mayor Kenney's staff will meet with community members, service providers, and the School District to determine criteria but will look for high-poverty schools with principals open to change. So far 43 schools have expressed interest in the plan. Council President Darrell L. Clarke and the teachers union have already voiced approval for the initiative. Read More >
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney plans to begin implementing a "community school" model in 5 to 7 schools by September. The mayor's office will choose schools in summer and hire a coordinator (employed by the city) for each by the start of the school year. Susan Gobreski, mayor's director of community schools, said, "The question is not: 'will the test scores improve? The question is, 'What do we need to measure to actually see if we're meeting the needs of children?" Read More >
In New York some parents and lawmakers are seeking a greater investment on top of Gov. Cuomo's pitched $100 million community schools initiative. Assembly Education Committee Chair Catherine Nolan, the Alliance for Quality Education and others are pushing for a $250 million investment. At the same time, Nolan said state budget language could force the department to provide greater oversight of parent involvement and family engagement. Read More >
Auer Avenue Community School is creating an impressive school culture while serving high-poverty students. There's a surge of new programs generating positive results. People within the school, the district administration, the immediate neighborhood and the broader community are working together to support the school and improve the lives and academic success of the students. Sustainability will be both a challenge and a key to how far the promising signs can go towards becoming strong results. Read More >
President of IEL publishes commentary: 'Is a new day really dawning with No Child Left Behind's successor law?'. He explains that the new Every Student Succeeds Act differs significantly from its discredited predecessor, No Child Left Behind, creating opportunity.

CPD promotes a vision for American public education through a network of community schools explained by Reagan High School in Austin, TX and Wolfe Street Academy in Baltimore, MD. Most schools lack analysis of what they need to help improve outcomes and a point person to manage partnerships. In America there are 5.1 million children enrolled in approximately 5,000 community schools and growing. CPD found six successful strategic plans to meet core needs that usually succeed over time.

The National Education Policy Center and Stanford Center for Opportunity Policy in Education published a research brief summarizing the empirical basis for several features of community schools. The work finds that community school models offering various agreed-upon features provide an excellent social return on investment and significant promise for providing opportunities for learning and promoting well-being in students and communities.

The third volume of this well known treatise deals with those psychic functions which are ordinarily called sensorimotor and among which are customarily included orientation, equilibration, expression of emotion, mimicry and language. These differ from the primary sensory and motor functions in that they involve multiple sensory and motor pathways, which have already special functions, and impose on them secondary systematizations. The first section, dealing with equilibrium and orientation, is essentially a detailed summary of the work of the Magnus-de Kleijn and Sherrington schools of neurophysiology. The discussion of the emotions begins with a historical account of the work of Spencer, Darwin, Duchenne and others, followed by a detailed description of the external expression of various preliminary and special emotions, with numerous illustrations.

Attendees will be able to ask questions about the stretch of I-69 extending from Martinsville to Indianapolis.
Overnight lane closures on State Road 37 between Kinser Pike and Connaught Road will begin on Monday and last until Oct. 9.
The signs are in constant communication with the upcoming traffic signal. They determine what speed drivers should drive to avoid having to stop at the light.
Weather permitting, pavement repairs along State Road 37 in Martinsville will begin Friday at 7 p.m. and continue through the summer months.
The northbound lanes of State Road 37 at Victor Pike are reopen this morning after a serious accident shut them down temporarily.
Officials have been trying to clean up a fuel tanker accident after it overturned Sunday night.
In Daviess and Pike counties, State Road 257 from U.S. Route 50 to State Road 356 is now open.
Section 5 of I-69 includes a number of options for interchanges along a route which mostly follows the existing State Road 37.
One option allows travel nearer to highway speed, but it'll cost significantly more.
INDOT says Section four is on schedule, and the remaining contracts will go out for bid in July.

Plans to relocate jobless drawn up
Published 27/06/2010
The coalition Government is drawing up controversial plans to relocate the unemployed to areas of the country where there are jobs, it has been revealed.
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said he would be bringing forward proposals to make the workforce "more mobile".
The comments, in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, echo the words of then-Tory minister Norman Tebbit in 1981 when he suggested the unemployed should "get on your bike" and look for work.
Mr Duncan Smith, the MP for Lord Tebbit's former parliamentary seat of Chingford, said ministers wanted to encourage jobless people living in council houses to move out of unemployment blackspots to homes in other areas, perhaps hundreds of miles away.
He insisted millions of people were "trapped in estates where there is no work" and could not move because they would lose their accommodation. The proposed scheme would allow them to go to the top of the housing list in another area rather than giving up their right to a home.
"We have over the years, not us personally but successive governments, created one of the most static workforces in the western world," Mr Duncan Smith said.
"In Britain now we have workforces that are locked to areas and the result of that is we have over five and a half million people of working age who simply don't do a job.
"Often they are trapped in estates where there is no work near there and - because they have a lifetime tenure of that house - to go to work from east London to west London, or Bristol, or whatever is too much of a risk because if you up sticks and go you will have lost your right to your house.
"The local council is going to tell you that you don't have a right to a house there, the housing association is not going to give you one. We have to look at how we get that portability, so that people can be more flexible, can look for work, can take the risk to do it."
The coalition is believed to be looking at providing incentives for workers to relocate, rather than compelling them to move.

Lewis Black bringing comedy back to Summerfest
In addition to drum fills, guitar solos and the cheers of thousands, jokes and laughter have been a recurring part of the Summerfest soundtrack. Bob Hope was one of Summerfest's first big headliners, with two shows at County Stadium in 1969, and in the decades since then Billy Crystal, Jay Leno, Dave Chappelle, Jon Stewart, Lewis Black and others have been booked to play a Summerfest stage or tent.
After 2007, the funny stuff appeared to be over at Summerfest. But Friday, comedy makes a comeback. Fest favorite Black is bringing along comedians John Bowman and Mike Wilmot as part of a special comedy day at the BMO Harris Pavilion. »Read Full Article(8)

Police in northern Monroe County, Pennsylvania were receiving phone calls from concerned citizens that had heard gunshots. When they arrived on the scene on Ventnor Drive in Poconos County they discovered Wayne Darmand had shot 3 times to scare off a black bear. Darmand had been working in his yard when he heard children screaming, he looked over the fence and saw a large bear by a toddler and a group of children. The bear had been in the area searching for food, and was attracted to what the toddler had; a handful of gummi bears.
Darmand ran and got his firearm and came to the rescue. It took 3 shots before the bear ran off into the woods. Darmand is not in trouble as he was protecting the children and didn't break any laws. Officials say that shooting at a bear in a populated area is not the best way to handle the situation though, yelling and making loud noises should usually work. From The Morning Call [2].

Because the recipe just stated mushrooms I used Portabello and the taste was amazing. My only problem with this is that the sauce was too thin. Next time I might try more flour.

Kwazi Nkrumah: For years the banks, real estate agents and investors in real estate securities on Wall Street were making money hand-over-fist. They did all this while pretending to break from their previous established history of gross discrimination and red-lining against the disproportionately non-white borrowers whose limited financial resources forced them into "sub-prime" status in the first place.
The Foreclosure Crisis: Urgent as Ever and Could Get Worse
Carl Bloice: There are an estimated 3.5 million seriously delinquent mortgages out there. There were nearly 2.7 million foreclosure filings on about 1.9 million homes last year. That's down from 2007, but it's still about one out of every 69 homes in the country.
Holiday Pall: Joblessness Crisis Intensifies
Carl Bloice: The average period of unemployment now exceeds 26 weeks, well above the previous peak in July 1983 of just 21.2 weeks. This is critical because the longer that people of any age are out of work, the less likely they are to find another job.
Financial Crisis Prosecutions Too Hard?
Marian Wang: According to a now-departed Justice Department official who used to be in charge of investigating such matters, the Justice Department has decided that holding top Wall Street executives criminally accountable is too difficult a task.
Who Will Be the Un-Bloomberg? What Mayors Should Say About Wall Street
Tom Hayden: In light of the police actions in New York, Berkeley, Oakland, Denver, Portland and beyond—and as massive national demonstrations are about to take place—it's not too late for the mayors to use their political stature to speak out about the crises befalling their cities.
The Norquist Factor
Brent Budowsky: Pledges such as the Norquist pledge should be flat-out discarded, as a matter of policy and principle, by all legislators, to achieve a bipartisan agreement at a time of economic crisis.
Dysfunction in Congress a National Crisis
Ray Smock: The current Congress has become largely dysfunctional because extreme partisanship and ideological differences are preventing the deliberative process from completing its most important function, which is to be one of the two governing branches of government.
Willful Deafness to Occupy Wall Street
Tina Dupuy: Politicians won't take personal responsibility for the crisis – and so Occupy Wall Street has no choice but to be nonpartisan. Or just bipartisan in their frustration.
Can Republicans Cure the Jobs Crisis?
Steve Hochstadt: Republicans believe that continuing high unemployment will bring Obama down, so they want to preserve what they feel is their winning card: a bad economy.
Jobs: A Grand Bargain
Brent Budowsky: Great presidents know the difference between empty public gimmicks and game-changing public policy. They demand creative ideas, not mediocrity or defeatism, from those who advise them.
Stop the Presses: The GOP Is Screwing Things Up! Who Knew?
H. Scott Prosterman: Public education is in crisis nationwide, as are 23 state governments and most municipal governments, as the Grover Norquist ideologues have assumed power and seeded the certain destruction of public education at all levels.
How Not To Talk About Financial Panics: New Rules For Pundits
Slouching Toward a Double Dip, For No Good Reason
Robert Reich: We are slouching toward a double dip because we're getting the problem wrong. Despite what Standard & Poor's says, notwithstanding what's occurring in Europe, and regardless of U.S. budget projections years from now — our current crisis is jobs, wages, and growth. We do not now have a debt crisis.

The cost of caring for dementia patients has reached $109 billion annually, exceeding that for heart disease and cancer, and will double by the time the youngest baby boomers reach their 70s, according to a study.
Dementia is characterized by a group of symptoms that prevent people from carrying out the tasks of daily living. Reduced mental function makes it impossible for them to do things like keep track of medications or finances. In more severe cases, patients lose the ability to handle basic tasks like bathing and dressing. Dementia is considered a chronic disease of aging, and there is no cure.

A mother's memento: Trent's necklaceUPDATED 7:39 PM EDT May 13, 2014
A mother's keepsake honoring her slain son was lost in a flash and finally found more than a decade later.Video Transcript
IT'S COMING UP ON TWENTY YEARS SINCE THE SNIPER KILLING OF TRENT DIGUIRO. THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE WAS CAUGHT AND CONVICTED, BUT THE LOSS OF THIS OLDHAM COUNTY SON HAS NOT FADED FOR HIS PARENTS. MORE THAN A DECADE AGO MIKE DIGUIRO GAVE HIS WIFE A PENDANT TO REMEMBER TRENT BY. HE DESCRIBES WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT, AS A SMALL MIRACLE. WLKY'S STEVE BURGIN EXPLAINS. A PRICELESS PIECE OF JEWELRY...NOT BECAUSE OF IT'S MONETARY VALUE, BUT WHAT IT MEANS TO MIKE AND ANN DIGUIRO OF GOSHEN. 10:14:40 Mike Diguiro says, I want something that has an angel on it because Ann truly believes in angels, maybe a football helmet or something like that. A CHRISTMAS PRESENT MADE FROM A NECKLACE TRENT WORE, A GOLD PENDANT WITH HIS UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY FOOTBALL NUMBER, AND AN ANGEL...TRENT WAS SHOT TO DEATH IN LEXINGTON THREE DAYS SHY OF HIS 21ST BIRTHDAY. AN INSCRIPTION ON THE BACK READS, MOM I'M RIGHT HERE. 10:16:34 Ann Diguiro says, When I opened my present, I just cried cause I knew what it was and when it said Mom I'm right here on the back was the most important thing to me. So I wore it all the time, day and night. ABOUT FOUR MONTHS LATER, ANN WAS DRESSED FOR A DERBY EVENT, WAITING FOR MIKE TO RETURN HOME, WHEN SHE VENTURED OUTSIDE. 10:17:20 Ann Digurio says, I was going over this little bridge and the clasp broke and the pendant fell between the boards. SHE WENT TO GET A SMALL FISHING NET, BUT BY THE TIME SHE RETURNED TO THE CREEK, THE PENDANT HAD DISAPPEARED. 10:17:57 Ann Diguiro says, I got panicky, so I got in the creek with my good clothes on and I was looking for the pendant and I couldn't find it. MIKE, ANN AND A NEIGHBOR SEARCHED THE SHALLOW WATER WHICH RUNS INTO HUCKLEBERRY CREEK AND EVENTUALLY INTO THE OHIO RIVER. 10:24:06 Mike Diguiro says, We always thought someday somebody was going to catch a fish and they were going to cut it open and that pendant was gong to be in there. TRENT'S MOM NEVER GAVE UP LOOKING. AT LEAST 12 YEARS PASSED, THEN LAST MONTH APRIL SHOWERS FLOODED THE CREEK AND A SMALL POND, THE DIGUIRO'S CALL IT THE ANGEL POND. BUT, FOR SOME UNEXPLAINED REASON, A HOLE IN THE CREEK BED SUDDENLY APPEARED...THE WATER QUICKLY DRAINED AND WHEN THE SUN PEAKED FROM BEHIND THE DARK CLOUDS, ANN HAD TO CATCH HER BREATH. THERE IT WAS ... THREE FEET FROM WHERE SHE LOST IT. 10:19:57 Ann Diguiro says, I could see just the clasp and a little tiny bit sticking out of the mud and they the sunshine and I just look at it and I quickly got over, I had to bend over and get it in the mud again and I picked it up in my hand and I held my hand so tight and I just walked up to the house. Mike was in the kitchen and I just opened my hand and he said, you've got to be kidding. TO THE DIGUIRO'S, WHO HAVE ENDURED THE PAIN OF LOSING A CHILD. THE PENDANT IS MORE THAN JUST A PIECE OF JEWELRY TO THEM... IT IS TRENT. 10:22:04 I mean I had to say it's a miracle, but I think it was Trent saying Mom I'm right here. You know you just can't give up. Burgin says, An angel watching an Angel. Absolutely. Absolutely. THE DIGUIROS HAVE KEPT THE MEMORY OF THEIR SON ALIVE THROUGH A FOUNDATION THAT RAISES MONEY FOR COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS. IN JULY THEY WILL HOST AN EVENT AT THE HARDSCUFFLE FARM IN OLDHAM COUNTY. THE ANNUAL POLO MATCH FUNDRAISER IS SET FOR SATURDAY JULY 26TH. FOR MORE INFORMATION JUST GO TO THE TOP STORIES SECTION OF WLKY-DOT-COM.

Method provided evidence for structural transitions in fibril-forming peptides. Image shows a piece of Alzheimer peptide. [Bowers and the Buratto Groups, UCSB]
University of California, Santa Barbara scientists say that they have established the potential of ion-mobility spectrometry/mass spectrometry (IMS/MS) for the study of amyloid diseases like Alzhiemer, Huntington, and Parkinson diseases. They used IMS/MS to find the conversion of randomly assembled aggregates of small peptides into ordered beta sheets that comprise fibrils.
Details of the method and study results appear in Nature Chemistry. The paper is titled "Ion mobility-mass spectrometry reveals a conformational conversion from random assembly to β-sheet in amyloid fibril formation."
Amyloid cascades that lead to peptide β-sheet fibrils and plaques are central to many important diseases. Recently, intermediate assemblies of these cascades were identified as the toxic agents that interact with cellular machinery, according to Michael T. Bowers, Ph.D., lead author and professor in the department of chemistry and biochemistry.
The location and cause of the transformation from a natively unstructured assembly to the β-sheet oligomers found in all fibrils is important in understanding disease onset and the development of therapeutic agents. Largely, research on this early oligomeric region was unsuccessful because all the traditional techniques measure only the average oligomer properties of the ensemble, Dr. Bowers points out.
He describes how understanding the fundamental forces that relate aggregation, shape, and biochemistry of soluble peptide aggregates is central to developing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for amyloid diseases. The team utilized ion-mobility methods to deduce the peptide self-assembly mechanism. They examined a series of amyloid-forming peptides clipped from larger peptides or proteins associated with disease.
The scientists note that their research provides evidence for structural transitions in each of these fibril-forming peptide systems. Dr. Bowers says that IMS-MS has the potential to open new avenues for investigating the pathogenic mechanisms of amyloid diseases, their early diagnosis, and eventual treatment.

Septage Tracker
Crisis Statement
In the Philippines, more than 90 percent of sewage goes untreated. Households using septic tanks pay private companies to desludge their tanks, but there are few incentives for companies to haul the waste to a treatment facility or other designated place. Much of the pollution in surface and groundwater is from the dumping of untreated waste into rivers and other water bodies.
Needs Statement
There is a need for improved enforcement capacity in regulating septage collection, transportation and treatment. A first step would be understanding the location, service area and routes of hauler or vacuum trucks, including when and where they dispose of waste (rivers, agricultural fields, drains).
Impact Statement
A database with such information at the city or neighborhood level could help the government better understand the market for septage collection, treatment and disposal. It would give DOH a tool to help build better monitoring and enforcement capacity and to identify pollution hotspots. The information could also be used to promote greater demand for septage management and to develop local strategies under the Bank's National Sewerage and Septage Management Program. Local governments could design appropriate incentive structures for service providers to ensure proper disposal.

Granden Goetzman (pronounced "Getz-man") looked right at home standing in front of his locker in the Rays' clubhouse at Tropicana Field after a workout at the Winter Development Program last month.
And why shouldn't he be comfortable? The 19-year-old 2011 draft pick is very familiar with the landscape at the Trop, was a rabid Rays' fan growing up and has seen many a game from the stands at the team's home ballpark in St. Petersburg, FL.
But just because he is a local product, Goetzman doesn't feel any additional pressure to perform well as a proud community casts a watchful eye on the graduate from Palmetto High School.
"I don't really feel pressure," Goetzman said with a big smile on his face. " A lot of people know me from around here and that makes it more comfortable."
Goetzman was able to play in front of many supporters last season as he made his professional debut for the rookie level GCL Rays last June in nearby Port Charlotte. The young outfielder was grateful to have the support.
It's kind of nice having the local fans come out. As a hometown guy it's kind of nice to have that."
Goetzman hit .173 in 75 at bats and also struck out 17 times in 85 plate appearances and would be be the first to admit that his debut didn't go as well as he had hoped. But an an injury that kept him off the field for some time last season was partially to blame.
"I was in the GCL a little bit, but I had a little issue in the groin area. I didn't play too much," Goetzman said.
Despite being hobbled by the injury, Goetzman was able to still gain a lot of valuable knowledge and experience from his first taste of professional baseball.
"I learned a bunch of stuff - the lifestyle, what it's going to take, fundamentals and stuff like that, Goetzman continued. "I just learned a lot about the basic every day grind and that you got to be ready for that."
Goetzman played shortstop his senior year at Palmetto, but going into the draft last year, many scouts opined that a shift to third base may be in his future. Still others maintained that he had the speed to play center field and the arm to play a corner spot in the outfield.
The Rays' seem to have settled on the latter, and despite not having the prototypical body-type of a center fielder, Goetzman says that, for now at least, he has not been working out at all in the infield.
"I'm pretty much done with the infield," Goeztman said. "I think center field is where I am to be. But I'm a big guy, so maybe the corners. I'm gonna try and keep my speed up and stay in center. Center field is what I want to do and is what I am working for."
At 6'4" and 200 pounds, Goetzman is indeed a "big guy", and his power numbers in high school definitely stand out. He hit .413 with 8 home runs and 32 RBI and 20 of his 33 hits were of the extra base variety his senior year at Palmetto.
But Goetzman has above average speed despite his size and he lists continuing to develop into a complete, five-tool player as one of his main goals in the coming years.
"I really try and work hard to be a five-tool player - hit for power, hit for an average, play great defense," Goetzman said as fellow 2011 draft pick Tyler Goeddel looked on from his locker next to Goetzman's. "I'm just really working hard to be a five tool player. I think I'm getting there and I'm just going to keep working at it."
To reach that goal, he has been training this off-season at the IMG Baseball Academy in Bradenton, Florida, and has been working on a little bit of everything.
"I'm over at IMG Monday thru Friday. We'll do movement stuff, speed stuff. - baseball activity every single day - lifting weights and all that stuff. It's a good place over there."
The Winter Development Program he attended last month was a good experience for Goetzman, and he was happy to be experiencing what being a big league ballplayer is like with so many of his new friends and teammates from the 2011 draft.
"Everybody is great guys and I spent a lot of time with them at Instructs. It's a good group of people and good players. It's just a good group to be around and learn from," he said.
"I mean we're in the Major League clubhouse, so it's really cool to be around and get a taste of what we're working to be."
Rays director of minor league development Mitch Lukevics knows that mini-camps like the Winter Development Program are essential for developing top, young talent - especially for high school players like Goetzman.
"When they come in, there is such a huge acclimation period for these young guys, and more so for the high school athlete than the college athlete," said Lukevics. "(Goetzman) is here in our winter development program, he's getting more acclimated. You can see him loosening up now. He feels more at home."
So far Lukevics is pleased with what he has seen from Goetzman and though the journey has just started for him, Goetzman has the ability to follow in the footsteps of another local high school product - Rays outfielder Matt Joyce - and one day play in the outfield at Tropicana Field.
"Granden's a wonderfully gifted athlete that has a great amount of potential," Lukevics said. "Now in this journey with the minor leagues, we're going to have to get that potential out over the course time. But he's a wonderfully gifted athlete, he's a hard worker with great character, and we expect really great things down the road from Granden."
Goetzman is up for the challenge and knows that his goal to become a major league player begins in earnest this season.
"I'm looking forward to a fresh start and showing what I can do," he said. "I'm excited for the start of Spring Training."______________________________________________________________

Insurance seekers who missed the deadline to buy coverage under Obamacare will pay a higher price than just a fine. They won't be able to buy insurance for at least seven more months.
That's because insurers are refusing to sell to individuals after the enrollment period ends, meaning health care is no longer available year-round.
The move shuts out the the young and healthy as well as the sick and elderly.
Insurance broker Steve Bobiak of Frackville, Pa., said he only became aware of the situation two weeks ago.
"It's lousy communication out there," he said. "If we don't know, my God, how do they expect other people to know? It's terrible." Some states are extending their deadlines to help those who had technical problems trying to meet this week's deadline, but the rest will have to wait for the next open enrollment this November.

Milwaukee aldermen to consider three mayoral vetoes
Milwaukee Common Council President Willie L. Hines Jr. has called for a special council meeting at 10 a.m. Friday to consider three vetoes Mayor Tom Barrett made to the 2013 budget.
The three vetoes involve funding for police motorcycles; a proposal to give the Equal Rights Commission authority to develop an alternative mediation process apart from the Fire and Police Commission; and a council decision to reduce funding for a Port of Milwaukee position from one year to two months.
The port job involves the position of operations and trade director.

As South Carolina lawmakers deliberate replacing the state's aging voting machines, Open Source Election Technology Foundation's executive director Gregory Miller will address the Joint Committee on Voting Systems Research on Feb. 18, 8:30-10am. He later will meet with voting rights advocates for a luncheon at the SC Progressive Network's offices, 2025 Marion St., downtown Columbia.
The Network introduced the open-source, non-proprietary voting technology to the committee at its first – and only – hearing in November. (Story and audio link here.) In 2004, the Network advocated for a voter-verified, paper-based voting system before the state instead opted to buy South Carolina's current proprietary, paperless system.
"As the state considers buying a new voting system, we are pleased that the committee is hearing about alternatives that promotes transparency rather than secrecy in voting technology," said Network Director Brett Bursey.
OSET is a non-profit election technology research, development, and education foundation established eight years ago to advance innovation in election administration and voting technology. OSET works under an "open source mandate," meaning that anything they develop is freely available for any jurisdiction to adopt, adapt, and deploy. It exists to advance the cause of "critical democracy infrastructure" and to catalyze a new model for the important commercial delivery of election technology innovation. At its core, it is about increasing confidence in elections and their outcomes in order to preserve our democracy.
Miller and OSET participants come from many of the well-known household technology brands such as Apple, Google, Netscape, Oracle, and others have become social entrepreneurs in this effort to substantially innovate the systems on which this nation relies to administer elections. OSET has no commercial agenda and is offering to consult with South Carolina legislators, election administrators and citizens, in an intellectually honest manner, on the spectrum of innovation underway.

Mr. Miller will meet with voting rights advocates on Thursday from 11:30am – 1pm at the Modjeska Simkins House, 2025 Marion St., in Columbia. Participants are welcome to bring a brown bag lunch or place an order from the No Name deli across the street.
Mr. Miller will be available for media interviews on Thursday after the hearing. Contact the SC Progressive Network at 803-808-3384 or firstname.lastname@example.com to make arrangements.

Colors In Corporate Branding And Design
- By Steven Snell
- January 28th, 2009
- 82 Comments
Color is a major consideration in any Web design. Whether for an individual, small company, or major corporation, color scheme is one of the most significant factors in the overall look and appearance of a website. In some cases, the designer may have the sole discretion in making color choices, but many times a color scheme has already been established and needs to be followed. In situations where a company already has a strong brand, color usage for the website can either build or take away from this.
In this article, we'll take a look at the impact that website color schemes have on the overall branding of a company, and we'll also look at plenty of examples. We won't be going into the subjects of color choices for branding or the psychology of colors, but rather we'll look at established companies to see if the colors in their website branding are consistent with the rest of their marketing.
There are companies in every imaginable industry that have spent many years and a lot of money along the way to create a specific image and brand recognition with customers. In these cases, their corporate websites should obviously benefit from this established identity and should work to make it even stronger. However, as we'll see throughout this article, this is not always the case. Some companies do an excellent job of blending their traditional offline image with a modern website, and others have not taken full advantage of their existing brand images when building their websites.
The example websites we'll be looking at in this article all belong to companies that have built their brand using specific colors. When you think of these companies, you think of a specific color, and probably a familiar logo that contains these colors. Because branding is so dependent on customer perception, customers also have certain assumptions and expectations of companies that have an established brand.
Many of these examples are major retailers, restaurants and companies that have physical locations where customers can go to purchase products or services. In these cases, each company typically has established colors for the store itself, signage outside the stores, advertising and promotion campaigns and a company website. The branding is usually more effective if the company's website has a similar feel to that of the physical stores and the identity that the company has developed over time.
Impact of a Website's Colors Link
Whether you're looking at a website, a flier in a newspaper, a magazine ad or a retail catalog, color choices are critical to the branding of a company. Most companies have chosen a standard color scheme that is used consistently throughout their marketing materials. When a website is well designed and effectively uses colors that have been branded over the years, the website and the company benefit from the familiarity that the website and the brand have with customers. Loyal customers to the company may be new to the website, but if the website is branded consistently with the company as a whole, those visitors are likely to feel at home instantly because of the consistency.
Colors are critical to building the brand's image, just as logos are important for the same reason. With many retail companies looking to boost revenue through increased online sales, converting traditional retail shoppers to online customers is a critical step. Many retailers are effectively creating websites that have a very similar look and feel to the actual retail stores themselves. The style and colors of the brand are often replicated as much as possible throughout the website, which creates a more unifying experience for online visitors who have also shopped at the physical retail locations in the past. By building one consistent brand image, the company is able to more effectively meet its customers in the marketplace, whether that is online of offline.
Impact of Color on Visitors Link
When visitors come to the website of a brand they know very well, they'll often have certain things they expect to find. Of course, they'll expect to see a company logo that they're accustomed to seeing. They'll expect a certain type of content according to the type of website it is. They'll expect a design style that fits the corporate identity. And they'll expect to see familiar colors. In many cases, they probably don't even realize they have all of these expectations; but imagine a company that has branded itself with a particular color for years and years, and now you visit the company's website and that color is not a major part of the design. You'll probably be a little surprised, and the website is unlikely to have as familiar a feel as it would have with the traditional colors.
If a company has branded itself a certain way and with specific colors, customers and others familiar with the company will have subconsciously associated those colors with the company. When these people arrive at the company's website, those colors will be a big part of the experience and determine whether the visitor feels connected to the website or senses a disassociation with the rest of the company's branding efforts.
Evaluating Use of Color Link
In order to take a good look at this subject, we'll need to evaluate a number of companies and websites. In the examples here, we'll see some that do an effective job of working with the company's existing branded image and color scheme, and we'll see some that don't use company colors in quite the way that you might expect. All of these companies have used specific colors very significantly in their branding. Most are very well-established international companies that everyone is familiar with, and in most cases you could associate a color with the brand just by hearing the company name.
Wal-Mart Link
Wal-Mart5 has branded itself over the years as the leader in low-cost retail goods. Along the way, it has used the color blue in just about all of its branding efforts. In recent years, Wal-Mart has been trying to upgrade its image in the eyes of customers, but the familiar blue color has not gone away, although the logo did get an update not too long ago.
Like most retailers' websites, Wal-Mart's is primarily white, but there is plenty of blue to give it the familiar feel. Navigation and headlines are blue throughout most of the website — the same blue color and same Wal-Mart logo found at Wal-Mart's retail locations, in fliers and advertisements and in all of its other marketing materials. Throughout the website, orange and yellow are used as secondary colors, but the heavy use of blue in graphics, navigation and headers is what really gives the website a familiar Wal-Mart feel.
McDonald's Link
Fast food giant McDonald's7 is very well recognized for its golden arches and prominent red. However, the US home page for McDonald's does little to build on this strong brand that has been built over a long period of time. The golden arches logo is there, but black is used much more heavily than the gold and red color scheme. Certainly, the website does need to be more than just gold and red, as that would be very hard on the eyes, but it seems that the McDonald's website doesn't quite feel like McDonald's because of this color difference.
Even by just using a white background instead of a black background, the gold and red would stand out more in the design, instead of being overpowered by the black. An area for potential improvement is the primary navigation menu at the top of the page. A red background here would do more to promote the McDonald's brand and build familiarity with visitors and customers. With the navigation menu currently designed on a black background, gold could be used either in the text colors or on hover.
Coca-Cola Link
For decades, the Coca-Cola9 brand has been built with a very familiar red and white color scheme. Everything from product packaging to displays in retail stores to advertisements has predominantly used the same color scheme, and as a result the Coke brand is one of the strongest in the world. The Coca-Cola website does use the red and white color scheme, but there is much less red than you would expect.
The website could easily be a better fit with the company's corporate identity with a design that has a red background instead of the gray currently being used. The well-known Coca-Cola logo is also not used prominently on the home page. There is a very small logo at the top of the page above the main navigation, which can also be seen on a few of the product labels displayed. The corporate identity could possibly be enhanced by using a larger logo at the top of the page and by showing it in red, or in white on a red background, rather than in gray on a white background.
Pepsi Link
Coca-Cola's major competitor, Pepsi11, has also used a standard color scheme in its own branding efforts over the years. The red, white and blue color scheme is a Pepsi staple, and the website is true to form in this area. Most of the website is blue and white with some red in the logo, which stands out more because red is used sparingly. Just about everything on the home page is red, white or blue.
ING Link
Financial services provider ING13 has branded itself with a blue and orange color scheme. As expected, its website strongly uses these company colors, with orange and blue being almost the only colors used on the website, aside from the white background and the dark gray text. The main navigation menu is orange, and headlines are blue. Of course, the logo also uses orange and blue on the white background.
ING's online banking customers also see the familiar orange and blue every time they visit their accounts at ING Direct. This website uses more orange in the design, but the color scheme and branding are consistent.
Ford Link
US automaker Ford15 has built its own brand with steady and consistent use of blue. The Ford website obviously is an extension of this branding effort as blue is used as the background color. Although a brand's colors don't necessarily have to be used as the background color of the website (most companies still use a white background), Ford manages to push its brand with heavy use of blue on the website. Even design elements such as the search button and the secondary navigation towards the bottom of the screen use shades of blue.
One potential area for improvement in terms of corporate identity would be to use the Ford logo in the header, rather than just the words "Ford Motor Company." The logo does appear on the home page, but it's smaller and a bit less noticeable than it would be in the header.
Best Buy Link
Best Buy17 customers know that the company makes heavy use of its blue and yellow color scheme. Even store employees are easily recognizable in their blue shirts. Consistent with the rest of the company's marketing and branding, the Best Buy website uses the familiar color scheme. Blue is used throughout the website, in the header navigation and even in graphical elements. Yellow is used more sparingly but is certainly a significant part of the website's design. Because yellow is used in only a few places, it has more of an impact in contrast to the blue colors, and the items in yellow really stand out and draw attention. The Best Buy logo, the yellow shopping cart, the "Go" button on the search form and the "see Steven's story" button all stand out because of the yellow color. As a result, Best Buy's website is able to use very little color outside of its standard blue and yellow, and it is still able to emphasize what it wants.
Hershey's Link
Chocolate maker Hershey's19 has naturally used the color brown for its own branding. Within the Hershey's family, several smaller brands each has its own identity and marketing approaches, but for the company as a whole, brown is the predominant color. It should be no surprise then that the Hershey's website is very brown. In my opinion, the Hershey's website is more effective at using the company's established brand and colors on its website than just about any other website featured here. The white background in the content area keeps the website user-friendly, but there's no mistaking the Hershey's brand, and the website makes you want to eat one of its products.
Brown is used for the background of the website (with a white background for the content area), as well as the header and primary navigation, the links lower on the page, the items in the sidebar and the website footer. The design does a good job of matching the color scheme to the colors of products in photos that appear on the website, such as the one shown in the screenshot below.
Bank of America Link
Bank of America21 makes use of the US national colors of red, white and blue as the company's typical color scheme. It's not unusual that a company attempts to brand itself with national colors, the intent being to benefit from customers' loyalty to those colors. The Bank of America website clearly builds on this established brand by using only these colors on the website. The background is white, with a red navigation menu and blue used for links and the log-in box at the left of the screen.
T-Mobile Link
T-Mobile23 typically uses a bright pink in its marketing and branding. Often, this color is not the most heavily used color because it can be overpowering and too much to look at if overused, but it will always appear somewhere in the company's branding. The website makes effective use of this color in the navigation menu, the logo, as well as headlines and links throughout the website. The white background keeps the color scheme from being too over-the-top and makes the website easy to look at, but still maintains the familiar T-Mobile look.
Aside from pink and white, other colors on the website are gray and a soft blue. Pictures of the products used throughout help to give the website a more engaging appearance. The other colors that are used help to soften the look of a design that features as bright a color as pink, but the identity and branding impact of the pink is still obvious.
CVS Link
CVS Pharmacy traditionally uses red and white at its retail stores and throughout its branding. The familiar red color is used heavily in the CVS website in the background (although the content area has a white background) and in the header. There are a few different shades of red used throughout the design, and various shades of blue and gray are also used. Product photos have some additional colors, but throughout the website there is no way to miss the common red and white of the CVS corporate identity. In this case, the red in the header and background has more of an impact than the blues used in the main content area. If those colors were reversed, the website would have a much different feel and would lack similarity with the corporate identity.

In that case... how would you seek help? Amateur radio operators across the country practiced for that very scenario over the weekend. Rachel Dubrovin shows us what happened at this year's Palouse Hills Amateur Radio Club Field Day.
(indistinct radio noise)
"One alpha Idaho, one alpha Idaho," said Amateur Radio Operator Rodney Spencer.
"Copy that, one alpha Idaho," Radio voice says.
Every summer the Palouse Hills Amateur Radio Club spends a weekend here at the Latah County Fairgrounds.
"We're running for 24-hours straight," said Palouse Hill Amateur Radio Club Power Coordinator Jim Kusznir. "So far we're doing pretty well."
It's part of a nation-wide amateur radio field day. Part of the event is a friendly competition.
"Stations all over America have set up events like this, plus many other people just work from their homes as well," said Kusznir. "And the goal is to talk to as many other people as you can. When you make contact with them, there's a small amount of information you exchange with them quickly, then you can move onto the next contact."
"All we're asking for is the call sign, what our section is, which is Idaho," said Spencer.
But first and foremost, the field day is about emergency preparation.
"Well, always when the power goes out, the call towers go out too," said Palouse Hill Amateur Radio Club President Jim Smallwood. "So, no cell towers, no cell phones. Often, no internet. But, with these radios, we're only relying on signals going through the air by themselves without any internet or anything, so that's one of the reasons we can get through when often, nobody else can."
"We are not using anything from the grid," said Kusznir. "No generators as well. All of our power is coming from the solar power you see behind you and a hydrogen fuel cell, just over there. Then, with the universities here, if this was a true emergency, we could continue to get hydrogen readily easily. It's surprising how many tanks of hydrogen are on both campuses."
"We have some people doing Morse Code," said Smallwood.
(Smallwood tapping Morse Code)
"And some people are using what is called 'Digital Modes,' said Smallwood. "It's computers talking over the air."
"These signals coming in from Europe, from over the North Pole, into the US," said Smallwood.
These amateur radio operators take emergency preparation seriously
"I'm serving this area," said Kusznir. "Should anything happen, we're ready to serve."
But it's clear that these field days are also about having fun.
(Man talking over the radio)
The field day lasted from 11:00 a.m. on Saturday till 11:00 a.m. on Sunday. There was an amateur radio base set up in Moscow, Lewiston and Kamiah. These events are open to the public, and it happens every year on the fourth weekend of June.
