The English Department has had the Borderlands Writing Program for over ten years! This outreach program has several aspects. The invitational Summer Institute which is an intensive workshop for public school teachers and graduate students on teaching writing. The Teacher Inquiry Work, which aims to educate public school teachers on professional development and reflective practices.
The English Department also has over-night retreats each Fall or Spring where teachers active in the Borderland Writing Project get the chance to participate in an uninterrupted writing and discussion of writing workshop.
The department sends two faculty members and two graduate students to Truth or Consequences to work on an English Teacher Inquiry/Action Research Seminar that focuses on implementing the New Common Core Standards.
However, the department's main outreach organization for the last twenty-five years has been La Sociedad Para las Artes. Every year, the organization hosts free evening readings of national caliber. As part of a major research university in one of the poorest countries in the country, La Sociedad seeks opportunities to involve the English Department in the community.

SCHOOLS across East Lancashire have closed today as teachers join in a national strike.
Dozens of high schools and primary schools have decided to take part in either a full, or partial, closure as teachers strike over pay, conditions and pensions.
It comes after Lancashire union leaders said teachers were leaving the profession to stack shelves and drive buses.
See if your school has notified closed here and here
(If your school is not listed, please check directly with the school)
Blackburn and Lancashire NUT representative Simon Jones said: "Teachers deeply regret the disruption caused by this strike to parents and teachers.
"The Government's refusal, however, to engage to resolve the dispute means we have no alternative other than to demonstrate the seriousness of our concerns.
"Our concerns are not just for teachers, but for the future standard and provision of education".

From seating to flooring, PCRs, LCAs and EPDs work together to help you compare and specify green products. Here's what you need to know about the process.
From seating to flooring, PCRs, LCAs and EPDs work together to help you compare and specify green products. Here's what you need to know about the process.
The era of the Environmental Product Declaration may have finally arrived.
For years, building and design professionals have sought consensus, confirmation and clarity regarding what constitutes a "green" product. Now, a standard for environmental labeling in Europe seems ready to take root in the United States.
Many designers have at least a passing familiarity with Product Category Rules (PCRs), Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and the more widely known Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). A few early adopters, notably modular carpet manufacturer Interface, already have taken the leap and incorporated EPDs into their daily operations.
Now, thanks to the efforts of industry groups including the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association (BIFMA), the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) and product certification organization NSF International, the EPD reporting format is gaining wider support in the United States. It pairs science and third-party certification with an internationally recognized method for reporting a product's environmental impact.
NSF has been working with product manufacturers through their industry organizations to establish the first step in the process for determining the environmental footprint of a product. The process starts with Product Category Rules.
In mid-2012, NSF International announced the successful development of PCRs for the seating and flooring product categories. NSF and BIFMA collaborated in creating the seating PCR, while NSF worked with multiple flooring trade associations to establish the PCR that defines the content of LCAs for resilient, carpet, laminate, tile and wood flooring
products. In each instance, the NSF National Center for Sustainability Standards (NCSS) followed the international environmental labeling standard ISO 14025, employing an open stakeholder process to engage input from manufacturers, suppliers, regulatory agencies, environmental organizations and end-users. Additional PCRs are now in development for office storage products, residential countertops and flat glass.
Spelling it Out
Product Category Rules
PCRs delineate how to conduct an LCA for a particular product group and what to include in the resulting report, the EPD. PCRs can be utilized as the basis of business-to-business or business-to-consumer communications.
ISO 14025 defines the PCR as a set of specific rules, requirements and guidelines for developing environmental declarations for one or more product categories. PCRs identify the data that should be collected, measured and reported in a particular product's LCA. They include instructions for gathering data about the consumption of resources including energy, water and renewable resources, and emissions to air, water and soil.
PCRs contain the following key elements:
Because LCA data collection methods are standardized, the PCR allows for the comparison of different product impacts among products within a specific category.
Life Cycle Assessments
The ISO 14040 series of standards provides the framework and guidelines for how an LCA must be conducted. When paired with the requirements specified in a PCR, the LCA can be used as a tool to compare the environmental impacts of two products in the same category.
The LCA process identifies and measures a product's inputs, outputs and environmental impacts across its lifespan, from sourcing through end-of-life, whether disposed of (cradle-to-grave) or disassembled for reuse (cradle-to-cradle).
The LCA employs scientifically based methods to analyze a product's:
The life-cycle impact assessment phase of an LCA evaluates a product's impact relative to end points including:
Environmental Product Declarations
EPDs enable architects and designers to compare and contrast a product's environmental impacts within its specific category, with the assurance that all data provided has been verified by an independent third party, such as NSF.
As a document designed to meet all the requirements of ISO 14025, an EPD offers an international standard of communication, and is a summary report of all data collected in the LCA as specified by the PCR.
LEED is incorporating credits that encourage the use of EPDs, because they provide transparency regarding a product's environmental attributes and performance. This enables architects and designers to make informed decisions regarding which products are best suited to any given project.
Case Study: ABC Seating
To illustrate the progression from PCR to LCA to EPD at an elementary level, consider the hypothetical case study of fictional American company ABC Seating and its popular (and equally fictional) Xyla wooden stool, used primarily in snack bars and school music rooms.
PCR: ABC Seating reviews the BIFMA/NSF Product Category Rules for seating as developed by the NCSS. PCRs are publicly available documents that any interested party can obtain.
LCA: ABC Seating prepares Xyla's LCA, per the data collection and analysis requirements specified in the PCR, and in accordance with the ISO 14040 series of LCA standards.
Among the stool's LCA highlights:
EPD: ABC Seating prepares an EPD based on the data derived from the LCA. A qualified third party—in this case, NSF—reviews and verifies that all pertinent data on the Xyla stool was collected in accordance with the applicable PCR and meets all ISO requirements. As program operator, NSF posts the verified EPD for public access to interested parties.
The EPD provides architects, designers and other members of the building team with the documentation and transparency they need. In the example of the Xyla stool, they get the entire picture of the product's life-cycle, from the woodlot to the schoolroom. They have the ability to make apples-to-apples comparisons with competing stools that have EPDs prepared using the same PCR. They have the information their clients expect. They have the essential third-party verification. And, in turn, they have the data required to pursue LEED certification for their building project.
The entire EPD process moves us closer to an internationally recognized standard of communication for consistent reporting of a product's environmental impact in a shared language that we all can understand.
Jane Wilson, MPH is director of standards at NSF International, an independent organization that writes standards, and tests and certifies products across multiple industries. Wilson works with regulators, industry representatives and consumers to develop consensus-based standards for a range of industries and products.

HOUSTON - Gov. Rick Perry is quickly finding out what it is like to campaign outside his beloved Texas.
Perry ignored the shouts of protesters as he shook hands across New Hampshire Thursday.
"Perry is good on the stump and one-on-one, and that will do him well. The press is going to be unrelenting," Rice University political science professor Robert Stein said.
Six days into his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, Perry is making headlines for comments about global warming and Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke.
"You don't expect out of the gate you would get that kind of criticism. He is going to have to clean that up and clean that up very quickly," said Stein.
The chairman of the Harris County Republican party, Jared Woodfill, said he hopes Perry won't lose the passion and energy and conviction on the campaign trail that has allowed the governor to be so successful in the past.
"He is passionate about what he believes and he doesn't muddle it or hide it under guise of political correctness," said Woodfill.
Enough people believe in Perry that he has raised more than $100 million in his three gubernatorial campaigns. Texans for Public Justice lists two of his top donors as Houstonians Bob Perry of Perry Homes and auto tycoon Thomas Dan Friedkin. Dallas business owner Harold Simmons is also listed as a million-dollar donor.
"He has a lot of money, but has this other constraint. It is not like Texas where you can raise as much as you want and give as much as you want and spend as much as you want, " said Stein.
Pollsters said donors are attracted to Rick Perry's social conservatism and economic conservatism as examples of what he would do in Washington.
The creation of jobs in Texas remains the marquee for Rick Perry's campaign.
"I think when Gov. Perry gets up there and talks about job creation since 2009, and how almost all the jobs were created in Texas since that time, it is going to resonate all across the country, " said Woodfill. "Obviously, when you have a good record they have got to find something to tear Gov. Perry down. They talk about jobs not being high paying jobs. Well, I promise you this, there are a whole lot of high-paying jobs, but with respect to minimum wage jobs Americans would rather have minimum-wage jobs than no jobs at all."
Woodfill thinks Perry's biggest hurdle may be name recognition. Before this week, Rick Perry was not widely known outside Texas, with an estimated 50 percent of Americans not knowing much about him.
The next debate for the Republican primary candidates is on Sept. 7. It will give the other half of the country a chance to hear more from Rick Perry.
"Rick Perry has to prove to himself and the voters he is on message and a disciplined and focused candidate. Is he a favorite? No. Is he a legitimate candidate? More than legitimate. He is a serious candidate for the nomination," said Stein.

The Humphrey Fellowship Program at the Washington College of Law
The Humphrey Program is a Fulbright Exchange activity funded by the Department of State and administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE). The Humphrey Program at American University Washington College of Law is part of a nationwide Humphrey Program, which includes eighteen other universities.
What Is the Humphrey Fellowship Program?
The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program brings together accomplished professionals who are at a midpoint in their careers for a year of study in international law and related professional experience. Fellowships are granted competitively to professional candidates from designated countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Eurasia who show a commitment to public service in both the public and private sectors. The Humphrey Program provides a basis for establishing long-lasting, productive partnerships and relationships between citizens of the United States and their professional counterparts in other countries, fostering an exchange of knowledge and mutual understanding throughout the world.
Hubert H. Humphrey
A U.S. senator from Minnesota for 27 years and vice president of the United States from 1965-1969, Hubert H. Humphrey was a lifelong advocate of programs fostering human rights and international understanding. These fellowships were established to honor his memory and to continue his ideals.
Humphrey Fellowship Program at WCL
American University (AU) has served as a host institution for
the Humphrey Program since 1980. In 2002,AU repositioned
the Fellowship's focus from economics to human rights and law, reflecting the importance of international law and legal education as instruments to pursue justice and confront the dramatic changes that are occurring in the world today.
At WCL, the Humphrey Program is hosted by the International Legal Studies Program (ILSP), a graduate program designed to meet the growing demand for lawyers trained in international legal issues. The ILSP provides Humphrey Fellows with opportunities to interact with innovative and internationally renowned faculty, participate in law courses, and attend specialized conferences, workshops, and lecture series organized by various units at the law school, including the Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, the War Crimes Research Office, and the International Human Rights Law Clinic. The confluence of policy makers, civil servants, practitioners, and academics from around the world provides a framework within which the Humphrey Fellows can make a contribution while pursuing an individualized nondegree program to obtain practical knowledge for use in their home countries.
How to Apply
The Washington College of Law at American University does not accept or process applications for the Humphrey Program.
If you are interested in applying for the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program and you meet the specified criteria, you can receive an application at the U.S. Embassy, Public Affairs Section or Fulbright Commission in your country of residence.

Dynamics Community Theater of Tallmadge closes its 20th season with Louisa May Alcott's classic tale, "Little Women."
The adaptation by John D Ravold has two performances on March 7 and 8, with a 7 p.m. curtain at Tallmadge High School auditorium, 140 North Munroe Road.
Directed by Leah McConnell, assisted by Kirsten Fitzgerald, the story is set during the Civil War. While Father (played by Larry McWilliams) is away serving as a chaplain in the war, Marmee (the mother, played by Angela Bozic) and her "little women" prepare for Christmas. Meg (played by Sarah Mars) is the eldest and dreams of someday having a beautiful home, love, and a family of her own. Jo (played by Lisa Van Gaasbeek) fancies herself the "man" of the family and wants to be a writer. Every year she writes a play that the girls perform for the family on Christmas Eve. Then there is feisty Amy (played by Kaylynn Neidert) who desires to go to Rome and become a famous artist. Beth (played by Regina McWilliams) is frail and sickly and wants nothing more than to stay and take care of Marmee and Father.
As the girls rehearse the Christmas play for Marmee, Aunt March (played by Kathy Frazier), and two family friends, Laurie (played by Ryan Dyke) and Mr. Brooke (played by Ben Arrington), a telegram arrives. Father is ill and Marmee is to go to him in Washington. She hurriedly packs and leaves, accompanied by Mr. Brooke.
When Marmee returns with Father, the family is together again. The story continues to tell of Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth as they grow up and attempt to follow their dreams. In the third act, Professor Bhaer (played by Denny Semick), a neighbor of Jo's in New York, joins the March family to celebrate Marmee's birthday.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.dynamicstheater.org. They are $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors (60 and older).
At each performance, tickets will also be sold for a "Little Women" basket. Tickets for the raffle are one for $1 or six for $5. Drawing will be at the end of each show.
For details, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 330-633-1516.

The Environment Agency is appealing for help to trace the cause of an oil leak on the River Wharfe.
A large slick of some kind of oil could be seen flowing through the middle of Otley last Thursday.
Robin Jakeways, of Whiteley Croft Road, spotted the pollution in the morning and, fearful of its likely impact on local wildlife, immediately contacted the authorities.
Mr Jakeways, who took this dramatic shot of the spillage from Otley Bridge, said: "The film of oil smells very unpleasant and is probably diesel.
"There are many birds on the river at this point and it is to be hoped that they will not be seriously harmed."
An Environment Agency spokesman said: "We have received reports from members of the public regarding oil pollution on the River Wharfe by Otley Bridge, Otley.
"Environment officers are working with Yorkshire Water to investigate. There are no reports of wildlife in distress.
"Anyone who has any information about this or any future pollution incidents is urged to call the Environment Agency's Incident Hotline on 0800 807060."

Summary: I can't figure out how to make small-site multihoming (without BGP or PI address space) work reliably and decently fast (failover in seconds, not hours) with IPv6. I'm probably not alone.
Problem: There are cases where a small site needs (or wants) to have Internet connectivity from two ISPs without going through the hassle of getting a BGP AS number and provider-independent address space, and running BGP with both upstream ISPs.
The primary/backup scenario is very easy to implement with multiple per-interface NAT rules in IPv4 world. With some load balancing trick, you can use both links simultaneously and if you really want to stretch the envelope, you can try to deploy publicly-accessible servers (although I would try every hosting solution before pulling this stunt).
Is this realistic? Sure it is, let me give you a personal example. I usually work from home and Internet is one of my indispensable tools; it's totally unacceptable to have no Internet connectivity for a few hours (or days). I'm positive more and more individuals and small businesses will have similar requirements.
What's the big deal with IPv6? The IPv4 approach to this problem involves heavy use of NAT44, which allows us to control the return path (based on source IP address in the outgoing packet). As of today, there's no production-grade NAT66 (see comments to this post), so the same principle cannot be deployed in IPv6 world.
Worst case, if we can't make small-site multihoming work reliably with IPv6, a lot of users will be forced to go down the PI/BGP path and the Internet routing tables will explode even faster than expected (I'm describing the Internet routing problems in my Upcoming Internet Challenges webinar – register here).
Alternative approaches? Multihoming was supposed to be an integral part of IPv6 (not really, a lot of details are missing – another topic of my Upcoming Internet Challenges webinar), but maybe the following trick would work for small sites. Please share your opinions in the comments.
Could this work?
A CPE router with two uplinks will get delegated prefixes from both ISPs through DHCPv6. You can assign both prefixes to the LAN interface and your IPv6 hosts using stateless autoconfiguration (SLAAC – RFC 4862) will get an address from each delegated prefix (having multiple IPv6 addresses per interface is a standard IPv6 feature). However, the address selection rules the IPv6 hosts are suppose to use (RFC 3484) don't take in account the path availability.
If one of the upstream links fails, your IPv6 hosts would continue using the IPv6 address from the now-unreachable address space and although the outbound traffic would be forwarded over the remaining link, the return traffic would end up in wrong AS (with the failed link to your site) and would be dropped.
Assuming DHCPv6 prefix delegation and DHCPv6 clients in CPE routers work as intended, it's possible to detect link loss and subsequent delegated prefix loss, and revoke the IPv6 prefix from router advertisements sent to the LAN interfaces, but that might be a slow process. The minimum valid lifetime of an IPv6 prefix in ND messages used for stateless autoconfiguration is two hours to prevent denial-of-service attacks (see paragraph (e) of section 5.5.3 of RFC 4862), so it could take up to two hours for the IPv6 connectivity to be fully operational after a link loss. Not something I would be happy with.
Last but not least, unless you use some crazy EEM-triggered tricks, your IPv6 hosts will have addresses from both ISPs most of the time. Influencing address selection rules is not trivial (this is how you can do it on Linux and this is the procedure for Windows) and unless you're pretty experienced your hosts will select one path or the other based on whatever internal decisions they make, not based on the primary/backup selection you'd like to have.
What do you think? Would the end-users who need redundant connectivity implement this kludge or would they request PI address space, BGP AS number and implement BGP (or just ask both ISPs to install static routes for their PI prefix) ... or shall we wait for NAT66?

Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Creativity :: Quota
Thinking fluently is a key quality of a creative thinker. One way to force yourself to think fluently is to impose a quota upon yourself. Set a time limit and a goal for a certain number of ideas, and then start writing down every idea that comes to mind. The initial ideas will usually be less interesting than the later ones because all of the obvious concepts are right at the surface of your consciousness. If you go long enough to get through the obvious concepts, you will have much better results. For this reason, you should set your quota high and keep writing down your ideas until the time limit expires.

The Companion seeks to advance the clinical expertise of primary care physicians, neurologists, sleep and pain specialists, and other health care professionals by supplying a publication forum for research and commentary on mental and neurologic illness as it presents in the clinical setting. Submissions of high clinical value will be given priority. Practice-based research from individuals and groups with interest and clinical expertise is particularly welcome. The Companion will focus on providing information of direct clinical utility and giving a voice to clinician researchers. Pertinent scholarly subject reviews, straightforward case reviews, brief reports, and timely clinician commentary will augment original research. The Companion is open to medicine, nursing, social work, psychology, or other disciplines with a role in mental and neurologic health and primary care, especially as they pertain to integrated delivery systems and interdisciplinary collaboration. Manuscripts should be concisely written, appropriately referenced, and coherently focused. Conclusions should flow logically from the data presented, and methodological flaws and limitations should be acknowledged.

The Companion requires, as a condition of consideration for publication, registration of clinical trials in a public trials registry.
A clinical trial is defined as any research project that prospectively assigns human participants or groups of humans to 1 or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effects on health outcomes. All trials whose primary purpose is to affect clinical practice (phase 3 trials) must be registered.
(Trials that begin enrollment on or after July 1, 2008, whose primary goal is to assess major unknown toxicity or determine pharmacokinetics [phase 1 trials] will also be subject to this registration requirement.)
The Companion will accept "retrospective" registration of trials that began before July 1, 2005 (retrospective meaning registration occurs after patient enrollment begins). The Companion will consider trials beginning on or after July 1, 2005, only if registration occurred before the first patient was enrolled ("prospective registration").
The Companion does not advocate one particular registry, but requires authors to register their trial in a registry that meets several criteria. The registry must be accessible to the public at no charge. It must be open to all prospective registrants and managed by a not-for-profit organization. There must be a mechanism to ensure the validity of the registration data, and the registry should be electronically searchable. An acceptable registry must include at minimum a unique trial number, trial registration date, secondary identification information if assigned by sponsors or others, funding source(s), primary and secondary sponsor(s), responsible contact person, research contact person, official scientific title of the study, research ethics review, the medical condition being studied, intervention(s), key inclusion and exclusion criteria, study type, anticipated trial start date, target sample size, recruitment status, primary outcome, and key secondary outcomes.
Registration information must be provided at the time of electronic submission. Trial registry name, registration identification number, and the URL for the registry should be included at the end of the abstract and also in the space provided on the online manuscript submission form.
For detailed information, please see "Frequently Asked Questions" on the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals Web site at http://www.icmje.org/publishing_10register.html.
The following trial registries meet the required criteria: Australian Clinical Trials Registry: http://actr.org.au ClinicalTrials.gov: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ ISRCTN Register: http://isrctn.org Nederlands Trial Register: http://www.trialregister.nl/trialreg/index.asp UMIN Clinical Trials Registry: http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr
The Companion also accepts registration in any of the primary registers that participate in the WHO International Clinical Trial Registry Platform: http://www.who.int/ictrp/en
For manuscripts that report analyses of preexisting datasets, provide details related to accessing the dataset, including (1) the individual or organization that owns the dataset (ie, holds copyright), (2) where the dataset resides (if possible, provide a URL at which it can be accessed), (3) contact information of someone who can provide access to the dataset, if it is not accessible via a URL. This information will appear at the end of the article in an "Additional Information" footnote.
Manuscripts submitted for publication in the Companion that meet its scope and submission criteria are sent to expert consultants for peer review.
Please see Reviewers for details about the peer review process and information on becoming a reviewer.
Papers accepted for publication after peer review will be copyedited for clarity, conciseness, and conformity with Companion style and returned to the corresponding author for approval. The authors are responsible for all statements in their work, including changes authorized by the corresponding author.
Authors are required to provide a statement covering any conflict of interest that may arise from publication of their manuscript. This includes, but is not limited to:
If you have no conflict of interest to declare, please state this and we will add the following text to your article: "The author(s) report no financial or other relationship relevant to the subject of this article."
Manuscripts can be accompanied by an electronic cover letter. Manuscripts are reviewed with the understanding that they represent original material, have never been published before, are not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and have been approved by each author. Prior publication constitutes any form of publication other than an abstract and includes invited articles, proceedings, symposia, and book chapters. Authors should fully inform the editor in the cover letter if the submitted manuscript contains data or clinical observations that have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere, supply copies of such material, and explain the differences between the works.
Manuscripts should have margins of at least 1 in. and be double-spaced throughout, including title page, abstract, text, references, tables, and legends for figures. Number pages consecutively in the upper right-hand corner, beginning with the title page. Each section should begin on a separate page, and the sections should be arranged in the following order: (1) title page, (2) abstract and key words, (3) text, and (4) references. Tables and figures should be submitted as separate file(s) from the manuscript.
The title of the article should be concise but informative and should convey the basic design of the study.
For each author, provide first name, middle initial, and last name along with highest academic degree(s) and departmental and institutional affiliation, including city/state/country location.
At the bottom of the title page, list the following:
Contributions that need acknowledging but do not justify authorship, such as general support by a departmental chairperson, critical review of study proposal, or data collection, and acknowledgments of technical help are to be listed at the bottom of the title page. Authors must obtain written permission from all persons named in an Acknowledgment. For each person, list highest degree(s) as applicable, institutional affiliation (including the funding source for the acknowledged assistance), and any relevant financial disclosure.
If you are submitting an article, you are required to include a structured abstract of about 250 words or less. The abstract must reflect the text; that is, no information should be included in the abstract that cannot be drawn from the text.

¶ Items to Include When Submitting a Book Review
¶ General Guidelines for Writing Reviews
The text of observational and experimental articles is usually--but not necessarily--divided into sections with the headings Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion. Lengthy articles may need subheadings within some sections to clarify their content.
Use nonproprietary names of drugs, unless a specific trade name is relevant to the discussion.
Use only standard abbreviations. Avoid abbreviations in the title and abstract. The full term for which an abbreviation stands should precede its first use in the text unless it is a standard unit of measurement.
Introduction. State the purpose of the article. Summarize the rationale for the study or observation. Give only strictly pertinent references, and do not review the subject extensively. Do not include data or conclusions from the work being reported.
Method. Describe your selection of the observational or experimental subjects (including controls) clearly, including eligibility. Identify the methods, apparatus (manufacturer's name and city/state/country location in parentheses), and procedures in sufficient detail to allow other workers to reproduce the results. Give references to established methods, including statistical methods (see below). Include references for all assessment tools, including scales, used in the study. Describe new or modified methods, give reasons for using them, and evaluate their limitations. Identify precisely all drugs and chemicals used, including generic name(s), dose(s), and route(s) of administration. Specify the dates in which data were collected (month/year to month/year).
Diagnosis. State the diagnosis and diagnostic criteria. Justify the use of diagnostic criteria other than DSM-IV.
Informed Consent/Ethics Review. Manuscripts that report experimental investigations with human subjects must include a statement that subjects (or parents/guardians) gave their informed consent after the procedure(s) and possible side effects were fully explained. Also state whether institutional review board approval was obtained for the investigation; if it was not, provide an explanation. Investigators without access to formal ethical review committees should follow Declaration of Helsinki guidelines and state this in the manuscript.
Patient Confidentiality. Ethical and legal considerations dictate protection of patients' anonymity. Do not use patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers in text or illustrative material. Avoid dates and disguise characteristics and personal history that would identify a patient.
Statistics. Describe statistical methods with enough detail to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the reported results. When possible, quantify findings and present them with appropriate indicators of measurement error or uncertainty (such as confidence intervals). Avoid sole reliance on statistical hypothesis testing, such as the use of p values, which fails to convey important quantitative information. Give numbers of observations. Report losses to observation (such as dropouts from a clinical trial). Reference statistical tests that are not well known. Specify any general-use computer programs used.
Results. Present your results in logical sequence. Do not repeat in the text all the data in the tables or figures; emphasize or summarize only important observations. Subset Ns should accompany percentages if the total N is < 100. For original research, results should not be shown as not significant or NS. Actual P values are important for future meta-analyses research. Please include actual P values, and preferably confidence intervals or limits, when reporting nonsignificant results.
Discussion. Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and the conclusions that follow from them. Do not repeat in detail material given in the Introduction or the Results section. Present in the Discussion section the implications of the findings and their limitations, including implications for future research. Relate the observations to other relevant studies. Link the conclusions with the goals of the study but avoid unqualified statements and conclusions not completely supported by your data.
When preparing review articles and meta-analyses, describe the methods used in performing the literature review. This description includes listing the data sources searched (for example, MEDLINE) and the dates, keywords, and constraints (for example, language limits) used in the search; the criteria used to select the included studies; and the guidelines used for abstracting and synthesizing the data.
In meta-analyses, several basic content areas should be addressed: study design, combinability, control of bias, statistical analysis, sensitivity analysis, and problems of applicability.
Please refer to the information on Abstracts for a more detailed framework of the necessary elements for review articles and meta-analyses.
Consensus statements should identify the participants and their areas of expertise, as well as the source of funding or sponsor. Describe the data sources used and explain their selection, abstraction, and the method of their synthesis. A description of the process used to reach consensus should be included. Explain how conclusions were reached.
Please refer to the information on Abstracts for a more detailed framework of the necessary elements for consensus statements.
The reference list should include only references to information that is retrievable. Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the references. The references must be verified by the author(s) against the original documents.
Do not use reference management programs that bury references within the article text.
Number references consecutively in the order in which they are cited in text. Identify references by superscript Arabic numerals. References cited only in tables or in figure legends should be numbered in accordance with the sequence at the point of identification in the text of the particular table or figure.
References should be cited in the body of the article using the following format:
1 author: "Smith2 states that..."
2 authors: "Smith and Jones2 state that..."
3 or more authors: "Smith et al,2 state that..."
"In press" references to articles accepted but not yet published can be cited and included in the reference list if the title and journal name or book publisher are given. References to personal communications (see Personal Communications and Unpublished Data) or to material not yet accepted for publication may not be included in the reference list, but instead should be cited parenthetically in text.
Abbreviations of journal names must conform to Index Medicus style. Examples of correct forms of references are illustrated below:
Computer-generated figures should be submitted as separate .eps or .tiff files (minimum 300 dpi).
Tables and figures should not duplicate text or one another and must be self-explanatory. Tables should be numbered consecutively in the order of their first citation in the text, as should figures. Acknowledge the original source of a previously published or adapted table or figure and submit written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce the material.
Ordinary footnotes are designated by lowercase superscript letters. Footnote citations may be given in both the title and the body and should proceed from left to right. Simple p values given in footnotes are indicated by single asterisk, double asterisk, etc. Expansions of abbreviations should be listed at the bottom of the table below other footnotes.
Tables. Identify each table by a brief descriptive title. Give each column a short heading. When percentages are presented, the appropriate numbers must also be given. Do not use internal horizontal and vertical rules. Place explanatory matter in footnotes, not in the headings or title. Units of measurement should be specified. Definitions of symbols appearing in tables should be listed at the end of the footnotes, with the expansions of abbreviations.
Figures. Two-dimensional graphs should not be represented in 3 dimensions. Figures are usually reduced to a width of 19.5 picas (3.25 in, 8.2 cm). Definitions of symbols appearing in the figure should be presented in a key within the figure, rather than in the title or footnotes. The key should appear within or above the figure but should not widen the figure.

Awaran, Pakistan (AFP) Sept 25, 2013
Desperate villagers in southwest Pakistan clawed through the wreckage of their ruined homes Wednesday, a day after a huge earthquake struck, killing more than 300 people and creating a new island off the coast.
The 7.7-magnitude quake hit on Tuesday afternoon in Baluchistan province's remote Awaran district -- a dirt-poor expanse of land that is roughly the size of Wales.
At least 328 people have been confirmed dead and more than 450 injured, according to the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) and the Baluchistan government.
In the village of Dalbedi, the earthquake -- Pakistan's deadliest since the devastating Kashmir quake of 2005, which killed 73,000 -- flattened some 250 houses, an AFP photographer said.
Bewildered villagers dug with their hands through the rubble of their mud houses in Dalbedi to retrieve what was left of their meagre possessions.
Their simple houses destroyed, they used rags, old clothes, sheets and branches to shelter their families from the sun.
Farmer Noor Ahmed, 45, said the strong tremors lasted for two minutes and turned buildings in the village into piles of mud.
"We have lost everything, even our food is now buried under mud and water from underground channels is now undrinkable because of excessive mud in it due to the earthquake," he told AFP.
Jan Muhammad Buledi, spokesman for the Baluchistan government, gave the death toll and told AFP it was likely to rise as rescue teams reach more villages in the area, which has been rattled by more than a dozen aftershocks.
More than 300,000 people had been affected by the quake across six districts -- Awaran, Kech, Gwadar, Panjgur, Chaghi and Khuzdar -- he said.
"People are still trapped under the rubble but it is a huge disaster and it will take time to reach and rescue all the people," he said.
PDMA official Ahmad Nawaz confirmed the death toll and said the injured numbered 498.
The authorities have prioritised finding the injured and getting them to hospital, but the task is hampered by the area's remoteness and the limited infrastructure.
They are also trying to provide tents to shelter the thousands left homeless.
"It is difficult to estimate the real magnitude of the losses because the area is very vast with small and scattered villages," said Major General Muhammad Saeed Aleem, chairman of the National Disaster Management Authority.
"We will receive satellite images tonight and then we will be in a position to analyse the magnitude of the losses."
The army has rushed medical staff and troops to the devastated area to help with rescue efforts, along with seven tonnes of food and a tonne of medicine.
Some of the injured were being treated in hospital in Karachi. A man who gave his name as Hassa, from a village in Awaran, more than 250 kilometres away, described the moment the quake hit.
"My house swung to one side and then it swung another and then all of it caved in. When I regained my senses I was in Awaran hospital," said Hassa, who was later taken from there to Karachi.
"I don't know whether my children and other members of my family are alive or not."
New island emerges
The scale of the territory involved is daunting. Awaran's population is scattered over an area of more than 21,000 square kilometres (8,000 square miles).
Baluchistan makes up about 45 percent of Pakistan's area but is the country's least populated and least developed province. The area is also rife with separatist and Islamist militants as well as bandits.
Tremors were felt on Tuesday as far away as New Delhi and even Dubai in the Gulf, while people in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, near the border with Pakistan, ran into the streets in panic.
Tuesday's quake caused a new island to appear close to the coastline at Gwadar, prompting astonished locals to rush to the shore to take a look.
Experts said a similar small island appeared at the same place in the sea after a major quake in 1945 but disappeared after some time. They expect the same to happen this time.
Baluchistan, Pakistan's largest province, is believed to have substantial gas and oil reserves, but it is a flashpoint for growing sectarian violence and has suffered attacks by Taliban militants.
It also faces an ongoing separatist insurgency which began in 2004 when Baluch rebels rose up to demand a greater share of profits from the province's mineral resources.

Smyly tagged with rocky outing as Rays even series
Solid outing goes awry in sixth inning for left-hander
DETROIT -- The debate over whether Drew Smyly executed the pitch he wanted that hit Evan Longoria can simmer. The pitches that doomed him after that, the pitches that brought in the eventual difference in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Rays, were fairly clear.
While Tigers manager Brad Ausmus wondered whether Smyly ran out of gas, Smyly said he felt fine as the game got away from him in the sixth inning. In the end, neither Rays manager Joe Maddon's pointed words nor any warning from umpires could haunt him about hitting Longoria so much as the extra run did on Sean Rodriguez's two-run triple that knocked him out of the game.
The extra run pushed Tampa Bay over the five-run mark against the Tigers for the first time since 2011. The Rays had scored four runs or less in 19 consecutive matchups against Detroit since then, which was a huge reason why the Tigers won 16 of them.
"I was one pitch away," Smyly said, "and it was a bad pitch."
It was an 0-1 pitch that the right-handed-hitting Rodriguez sent to the depths of right-center field -- a home run in many parks, but good enough in this case -- one of six extra-base hits Smyly gave up to right-handed hitters.
All seven hits Smyly allowed came from the right side of the plate, including a pair of RBI doubles from switch-hitting Ben Zobrist. While righties went 7-for-18 with a walk, left-handed hitters went 0-for-5. Smyly entered the day allowing a .317 average (65-for-205) to right-handed hitters, compared with .138 (12-for-87) from the left side.
Until his last start, Smyly had allowed four earned runs over a four-start stretch, lowering his ERA and quieting a lot of concerns about his pitching as a starter. He has allowing nine runs on 16 hits over eight innings in his last two starts.
His loss Sunday in Houston had a lot to do with an upper respiratory infection that sapped his energy. That didn't have an impact this time, he said.
"I didn't feel like I was tiring," Smyly said.
In the end, Ausmus said, "I don't know if he started to get a little tired, but I think he lost the strike zone."
Both starting pitchers did at the end, intentionally or not. Both hit the leadoff batters in the sixth. Smyly hit Longoria, the Tampa Bay cleanup hitter, two innings after Victor Martinez took a pitch right below the back of his left knee. Alex Cobb hit Ian Kinsler with a breaking ball on his first pitch of the bottom half.
Both Longoria and Kinsler came around to score, in part because the next hitters after them walked ahead of a run-scoring hit. Neither Cobb nor Smyly lasted to see the end of the inning. But while Tampa Bay's two runs built a four-run cushion, the Tigers missed out on a chance for more, including the potential tying run on base with the bases loaded.
Cobb didn't retire any of his next three batters after Kinsler, walking Miguel Cabrera and J.D. Martinez with a Victor Martinez RBI single in between. Suddenly, the Tigers had Cobb out and the bases loaded, including the potential tying run on base in a 5-2 game.
Reliever Brad Boxberger contained the damage, however, with a Torii Hunter double play and a Don Kelly strikeout.
"I knew him from San Diego," Ausmus said. "Sometimes a change of scenery helps a guy. He always had a good fastball. He has a deceptive delivery, kind of crossfire and hides the ball on the hitter. His changeup has always been his pitch, but he threw a lot more fastballs than I expected tonight."
Boxberger went on to retire the side in order in the seventh after Desmond Jennings doubled and scored to restore a three-run lead.
Whether there's any bad blood left between the two teams, the hex Detroit had put on Tampa Bay's hitters halted. With two much-anticipated pitching matchups ahead -- Anibal Sanchez opposite Chris Archer Saturday, then Rick Porcello and David Price in a potential All-Star clash on Sunday night -- the series could revert to one run meaning everything.
On Friday, at least, the sixth inning was bigger than that.

Deborah Greenspan To Retire and Step Down as Chair of the Department of Orofacial Sciences
UCSF Dentistry Dean John D.B. Featherstone announces that Deborah Greenspan, BDS, DSc(Med), ScD(hc), FDSRCSEd(Hon), DSc(hc), DDS(hc), Chair of the Department of Orofacial Sciences (OFS), Professor of Oral Medicine and longtime distinguished member of the UCSF School of Dentistry's faculty, will retire and step down as OFS Chair at the end of June 2014. She has been associated with UCSF since 1972.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for all that you have done for the school," began a letter from the Dean to Dr. Greenspan, "and especially for your work, first as interim department chair and then as chair, over the past ten years. You have made your mark, and the school is better off as a result."
Dr. Deborah Greenspan is one of the world's leading investigators and clinicians in oral infectious diseases, and has long worked with colleagues throughout the world to improve oral and general health. Her international work includes training a generation of clinicians, many from resource-poor countries, both in clinical care and developing research programs.
A frequent collaborator is her husband and colleague from their first days together at the UCSF School of Dentistry, John S. Greenspan, BSC, BDS, PhD, FRCPath, ScD [hc], FDSRCS [Eng], Distinguished Professor of Oral Pathology, Department of Orofacial Sciences, and Associate Dean for Global Oral Health.
She has made crucial discoveries concerning oral health, including delineating new lesions in association with HIV infection, new ways of treating problems of the mouth in HIV-positive people, and has charted the changes in the AIDS epidemic since its beginning in San Francisco. Her discovery of hairy leukoplakia opened up new aspects, not only of AIDS research worldwide but also in the field of Epstein-Barr virus research.
Her group pioneered effective oral care for the millions of people worldwide with HIV infection, and set an example for delivery of dental care for that group. She led the UCSF School of Dentistry's effort to establish new protocols to protect patients and health care providers against transmission of blood-borne infections, an example which set the standard worldwide.
She has made major contributions to improving oral health for people with oral cancer who have been treated with radiation therapy, and as an international leader in oral science and has spoken extensively on oral cancer, oral candidiasis, AIDS, the oral manifestations of HIV infection, and infection control.
Dr. Greenspan is Past President of the International Association for Dental Research (IADR), and has served as Chair of the San Francisco Division of the University of California Academic Senate from 2005 to 2007. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the Institute of Medicine of the US National Academy of Sciences. She is also an Ambassador in Research America's Paul G Roger's Society for Global Health Research, and a Fellow of the International College of Dentists and of the American College of Dentists.
Dr. Greenspan has received many awards and honors over the course of a long and distinguished career. In 2004 she received the prestigious Norton Ross Award from the American Dental Association, and in 2011 she received the Distinguished Scientist Award for Oral Medicine and Pathology from the International Association for Dental Research.

Great Entertainment Organizer and Fireplace
January 18, 2014
All of our entertainment accessories fit nicely in the shelves. We had to hang our tv on the wall because it was too big, but that was a great move! The electronic fireplace is relaxing and puts off a good amount of heat when sitting on the couch. Only thing that would have made this better was if it was slightly taller. I was hoping to get the feel of a real fireplace with an overpowering feel...it doesn't have that. However, it is really nice and has made a great addition to our living room.
Pros:Shelves, Nice looking flame, heater can be turned off
Cons:Not quite as tall as a built in one, so you don't get the mantle effect

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Now what the bloody hell is happening?! I try to log in IRC, and this is what I get everytime I type something;
Cannot send to channel: #unops
Just WTF is this shit?!
Then I tried to register, everything was going well, I got that 'YAY thanks for wasting your time into this shit'-thing, I was like, YES!, I typed YES!, and guess what the fucking IRC-thing answered?
Cannot send to channel: #unops
So, I closed the IRC-page, and then tried again. I type WTF?, and:
Cannot send to channel: #unops
ARGH! I put the registering code again in the page, just to see what happens. And this happened:
Please log in before attempting to verify your registration.
Where the hell I log in? Why is IRC doing this shit? Why am I starting to think that I should cut my flesh with a knife again? Someone help me, this is really annoying! Cat the Colourful (Feed me!) Zzz 05:03, 8 October, 2012 (UTC)

If you are the type of person who wants a new car but also wants to customize it so it stands out from the crowd, the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show held earlier this week is the place to see the latest trends in car customization.
The folks at SEMA looked at this year's trending vehicles for the SEMA Award, which honors the hottest models in four categories. This year's winners were the Ford Mustang (hottest car), Scion FR-S (hottest sport compact), Ford F-Series (hottest truck) and the Jeep Wrangler (hottest SUV, shown here with Mopar CEO Pietro Gorlier accepting the award).
The SEMA Award recognizes car models that provide the best platforms for accessorization and are considered the most "accessory friendly" ones on the market, according to SEMA President and CEO Christopher Kersting. Sometimes car accessories can be added when the car is originally purchased, allowing their cost to be rolled into the auto loan and spread out over the course of the loan term.
To arrive at the winners, SEMA Show workers considered car models on display by more than 2,400 exhibiting companies. The winner for each category was the car model that had the most vehicles on display.
Do you agree that these are the hottest cars?

If you are using LiveCycle Designer ES2 to import Microsoft Word documents from MS Word 2010 or later, you may receive the following error
Word (version XP or onwards) could not be found on the machine
This error occurs because LC Designer ES2 does not recognise the installation folder for Microsoft Word 2010 or later versions. LiveCycle Designer ES2 was released before these versions existed and therefore the installation folders were not known/recognised.
This issue has been fixed in LiveCycle Designer ES3 and last cumulative QuickFixes (QF) for Designer ES2. Ensure you are using the latest QF for Designer ES2, or request the latest from your support representative.
If you require an urgent fix for this issue you can make the following change in the registry:
Note: we cannot provide support for any problems that may arise as a result of modifying the registry. Only an experienced user or an administrator should attempt this, and a full registry backup should be performed before making changes.
1. For 32-bit Windows:
- Create the following path in the registry:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\InstallRoot
- Create a new string value named Path with value C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\
2. For 64-bit Windows
- Create the following path in the registry:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\InstallRoot
- Create a new string value named Path with value C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\
You should check the installation folder used in the Path value exists and contains WINWORD.EXE. You will need to restart LiveCycle Designer for the changes to take effect.

THE latest in a series of drug raids in Swindon has uncovered a cannabis operation at a house in Pinehurst.
Officers from the West Swindon neighbourhood policing team have targeted a number of residential addresses over the past few weeks, uncovering two cannabis factories in Gorse Hill just streets apart.
After securing a drugs warrant for an address on Cricklade Road last week, officers from the West Swindon team executed a raid and discovered an amount of cannabis that had been bagged and prepared for distribution.
A 27-year-old man was arrested in relation to the operation and has been released on police bail while inquiries continue.
A spokesman for Wiltshire Police said: "On Thursday officers from the West Swindon team conducted a drugs warrant on Cricklade Road in Pinehurst.
"A 27-year-old male has been questioned on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cannabis and has been released for futher inquiries."
Officers in the west have been clamping down on drugs as an ongoing priority.
Last month officers stopped two males in Grange Park and following inquiries searched their home addresses, one of which was found to contain a cannabis factory.
Then the first in a series of raids, backed by warrants sworn out by magistrates, revealed similar factories in Gorse Hill.
Sgt Pete Foster, of the West Swindon neighbourhood policing team, said: "Drugs remains a priority in the area, and we are working hard on investigations to tackle the source and supply of drugs in West Swindon.
"We rely on good community intelligence, and would urge anyone in the area who has suspicions about nearby properties to contact us so we can look into it.
"It could be anything, no matter how trivial.
"Obviously it is more difficult to target offenders when there is a distinct smell of cannabis in the middle of the town centre, but if there is a property where you can consistently smell drugs then we need to know about it.
"Similarly if deliveries of fertiliser or any lighting equipment is seen going into a house, or you see people coming and going at all hours of the day, these can all be real signs of drug activity."
If anyone has any information in relation to the incident or has their suspicions about nearby properties they should call Wiltshire Police on non-emergency number 101 to speak to the neighbourhood policing team.

The entire list
IĞDIR TV: August 28th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: FOR ONE THING THE SOUTHEAST IS MADE UP OF VERY DEVOUT, POLITE AND RATIONAL PEOPLE. THEY SET THE PKK UP IN ORDER TO LEAD THE KURDISH PEOPLE AWAY FROM THEIR RELIGION AND SPIRITUAL MATTERS AND TRIED TO CONVINCE THEM OF THIS STRANGE IDEA OF USING FORCE AND VIOLENCE. THEY LITERALLY IMPOSED IT ON THEM. BUT THE KURDS ARE A HEROIC PEOPLE. THEY WILL NEVER GIVE WAY TO FEAR AND INTIMIDATION. Thanks be to God. They held out, and are still holding out despite the most enormous pressure. They are determined to maintain their religion despite huge pressure from foreign countries, thanks be to God.
Ekin TV: January 5th, 2009
Adnan Oktar: OUR PEOPLE IN THE SOUTHEAST ARE VERY BLESSED AND EXCELLENT. THEY ARE DEVOUT LIKE THE REST OF OUR NATION. THEY ARE A VERY LOVING PEOPLE. THEY HAVE BEEN A REAL SCOURGE ON THEM. THEIR AIM IS THAT OF THE PKK; TO REMOVE THAT RELIGIOUS DEVOTION FROM THEM.
A9 TV: January 6th, 2013
Adnan Oktar: We will never give the Southeast up. We will never place our brothers in the hands of the communists. The people of the Southeast are devout, modest and spotlessly clean. They would be ruined if they fell into the hands of Marxist, Leninist, Stalinist communists, may God forbid. We will never, ever permit such a thing. But it would be very wrong to emerge defeated from this border war; you must be determined and always say, "No. Get lost! We will not allow it." That is what needs to be said.
July 23rd, 2013: Enson Haber
BDP deputy Altan Tan said that both the BDP and the PKK needed to be completely renewed ideologically. Noting that 78% of the BDP grassroots were conservative Kurds who wore the headscarf he went on, "If you try to assemble a harsh Marxist, socialist structure on this bedrock, you will soon enter into conflict with the people."

text: Today apparently the lifeguards told surf shops not to rent out boards because it was too rough. They didn't even want people boogie boarding, but would let people boogie board if they had fins and actually checked to see if boogie boarders were wearing fins...the surf was around waist high with rip currents? Is this typical or something new? I understand safety first, and I do see where they are coming from with the fins, but advising surf shops not to rent out boards on a waist high day? Isn't that a bit much? Do they only want you out there in knee high surf?

Use this page to discuss script 3003 indent/python: yet another Python indentation script
- Add constructive comments, bug reports, or discuss improvements (see the guideline).
- Do not document the script here (the author should do that on vim.org).
- This page may be out of date: check the script's vim.org page above, and its release notes.
Python indenting scriptEdit
This is my attempt at indenting Python to conform to PEP8. Based on the 7.2 Python indentation, with bits of script#974 hacked in.
Sample dataEdit
This is the Python code I tested with:
import line2, line3, line4, line5 class B: def foo(): line1 = (line3({[a, b] : 3, } ), ( ( "hello" ), 99, ), line4) line5("foo", ("bar", "bat", "baz"), "snaf") def bar(b, c): a = (b + c) - (c + b) class Rectangle(Blob): def __init__(self, width, height, color='black', emphasis=None, highlight=0): """ fjlaskdjf """ if width == 0 and height == 0 and \ color == 'red' and emphasis == 'strong' or \ highlight > 100: raise ValueError("sorry, you lose") if width == 0 and height == 0 and (color == 'red' or emphasis is None): raise ValueError("I don't think so -- values are %s, %s" % (width, height)) Blob.__init__(self, width, height, color, emphasis, highlight)
This is largely a huge improvement, but the indentation inside braces, brackets, etc. is a little aggressive.
For example:
some_really_long_thing = { 'foo': 'bar',<ENTER>
<ENTER> will always indent the cursor to the level of the "{", ignoring the previous lines indentation level.
I could change it to say a brace or parentheses only marks a new indent if it has text after it. If it is by itself at the end of the line, then the indentation for the next line should be unchanged.
Would that be an improvement?

That would be perfect, thanks David.

Provoked, perhaps, by my recent column mentioning that we didn't know enough of our neighbours, my wife decided to try to organise a street party under the auspices of The Big Lunch. This is an attempt by the Eden Project (best known for gigantic greenhouses in Cornwall) to encourage people to … well, to organise street parties.
