God Seeking His Own Glory
When we seek our own glory, it means we are proud and arrogant. But does God seek his own glory? And if He does, wouldn't that make him a megalomaniac? This is a commonly misunderstood issue, largely because we forget the difference between the infinitely great and holy and loving God, and ourselves, who are both finite and fallen. John Piper gives a brief but insightful answer to this question.

Take a Number
If you read a fishing report expecting to read about numbers of fish and how big they were, I may disappoint you this week. There will be no numbers in this column.
Recently, I fished the North Fork of the Feather River with my wife. We went out in the middle of the day. It was cloudy and I was hopeful we would find some bug hatches and feeding fish.
The Feather River above Chester is a beautiful stream and it reminded us of when we used to camp along this same stretch river many years ago.
But the fishing was slow. My wife came up empty. When we got back to the cabin at Almanor I told her I was sorry she didn't catch anything. I felt it was my responsibility to get her into some fish and I had failed.
She gave me a look and then said, "What does that have to do with anything? I had a great time."
I was suddenly off the hook. But it was much more than that. I felt a wave of satisfaction knowing that she really gets it.
Fishing is about the experience. In this case it was about a beautiful fall day on a stream that is like an old friend.
It was about the osprey and water ouzels and the sound of the stream. It was about sharing it with my best fishing buddy and my old dog, Sierra. It wasn't about any numbers.
Catching fish is certainly a bonus but it's not essential for a good day of fishing.
When I do catch fish it may be a matter of simple luck, or it may be validation of my limited understanding of the fish and its environment. Either one is satisfying and adds to the experience. But it is not, for me, the essence of the experience.
If it is essential to bring home fish on every outing, your best bet is the fish market. If you enjoy the experience of being in a beautiful outdoor setting that offers to possibility of catching fish, read on.
Lake Almanor
I rely heavily on fishing guides and sporting goods dealers for the information in this column. But I also consider it my responsibility to check my sources and validate their information. (Someone's got to do it!) So I dutifully headed out on Lake Almanor one recent morning.
I had received a glowing report from long time Almanor guide Roger Keeling of Rogers Guide Service (284-6429) that I reported in last week's column. I fished on the west side of the Peninsula just as Roger had done and just like he said, I found lots of fish.
There are large schools of pond smelt and the trout are in a feeding frenzy. I found the best concentrations of fish along the steeper banks and in front of Rec 2.
I was trolling, but my favorite method of fishing is with a fly rod. I noticed one angler fly-fishing from his boat so I decided to see how he was doing.
Just as I approached him he hooked a very large fish. He told me it was one of several. (Sorry, there are no numbers in this column this week, but if there were, this would be an impressive number with more than one digit.)
I will be back at Almanor this weekend. Instead of trolling gear, I will have the fly rod rigged with a full sink line and a pond smelt imitation.
If you need some pond smelt flies, try the Lake Almanor Fly Fishing Company in Chester (258 3994). Tom Maumoynier offers a very good selection of pond smelt imitations.
Lake Davis
Fishing is fair to good with water temperature running around 62 degrees according to Jon Baiocchi of Baiocchi Troutfitters (836-1115).
Jon reports the best fishing at Jenkins, Freeman, and Eagle Point. Be on the water from 8 – 11 a.m. Blood midge patterns in size 12 and 14, both dry and pupal stages are producing. Calibaetis nymphs in size 14 (I like to use a pheasant tail or Mercer's poxyback pattern) are also good.
Another favorite pattern for Lake Davis is the Jay Fair wiggle tails in a brown size 12. Jay has fished Lake Davis and Eagle Lake for many years and has designed an excellent pattern and developed the materials that really bring it to life. It's probably my favorite lake fly pattern.
Frenchman Lake
The folks at Wiggins Trading Post (993-4721) report anglers are still catching limits by the dam. Fish are taking nightcrawlers. The area around Frenchman's Campground is producing good fish as is trolling around Lunker Point.
The weather is getting cooler and the fishing at Frenchman's is best in late morning or early afternoon.

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
-- makers -- for the first time this year on Thursday as Europe's struggles to deal with its mounting debt crisis -- despite high unemployment and yes the risk of recession.
We've got a portfolio manager who says now's the time to buy Europe and he's calling it.
A once in a lifetime opportunity joining me now is David Markus ever more global advisors CEO.
And chief investment officer and thank you David so much for being here thank you -- Richardson about this -- I don't really know what's changed in Europe there's still having to deal with these very very.
Difficult austerity measures that the same time how do you get growth -- settled conundrum and why do you like Europe now.
I like it now because other people don't like it and the reality is you want to get -- when others are still nervous still not sure they should get back in.
To those markets.
And because of the crisis food companies are taking advantage in such a way they're restructuring.
The transforming the way they operate their businesses they're doing things that they could never do in normal times.
Such creating wonderful opportunities for undervalued situations.
-- across the region.
Across the region and we don't know Greece's problems and -- Spain and it's obviously think major provisions come grow -- You'll not worried about that scenario specially an economy the size of Italy or Spain.
Well at the end of the day we're buying companies were not -- countries.
We -- on a couple of securities and Italy we have something in Spain but by and large -- -- consumers in Europe and -- struggling.
Then buying you know -- they will not be able to buy the products.
You're right but you you also have global businesses that are based in Europe and -- not relying only on domestic consumption -- And that creates great opportunity because their base there but you're getting.
Really you're getting this -- from all over the world and and we own some of those in our portfolio today well with that in mind who do you like particular look what companies what stocks you like.
One of our favorite holdings and -- of our top ten holdings -- is Vivendi.
OK so you have a French conglomerate -- they don't 62% of Activision the video game maker yet.
They on the largest music business in the world universal music you have some of the largest Telecom assets in France.
They have pay TV business so it's truly a media conglomerate.
What's been of value trap for the last decade and poorly managed that's really cheap and so the opportunities of -- on 55 here.
You like that press I do like it we've been adding to a recently.
We think it's worth at least 50% more.
And in the meantime I'm getting a 6% yelled while away.
-- -- -- -- Very good now.
One of the other plays he mentioned is the behemoth that is Siemens.
Out of Germany one in particular deal like about this stock -- Siemens has been taking advantage.
Of the the opportunity to restructure over the last four -- five years out closing plants realigning the business.
Spinning off assets that no longer fit with the core.
That's it today you have a monster company.
That is this is that there -- so aggressive and all the businesses and now they're about to spinoff to shareholders -- which is one of the largest lighting businesses in the world.
The getting out of all consumer products are really going to be.
Ya managers which is therefore think that's right and that we don't -- it today.
I think it's a look it's sort of a little rich I'd love to bite if it was -- 10% from here -- we're ready rebounded in the past.
And we love the see -- he's really of value creator.
And that's K yeah and Europe you you really it's all about who you're betting on cheap stocks are great yeah I need a great manager to lead that company.
And so we look for value creators there's a lot of value destroy -- -- We wanna avoidable -- yes there other areas that you are avoiding when it comes to Europe.
We don't like heavy cyclicals.
You know my rule of thumb is always have the price of oil's off oil stocks are up yeah I would stay away from that kind of stuff we wanna know that it's unique for the company -- we love transforming situations.
As we said in a Siemens is transforming its its streamlining preventing is a complete break up opportunity.
Yet like Fiat.
The car company yes you did absolutely it's led by a wonderful leader Sergey you Marchionne -- -- he's -- arrested he's -- value creator.
And these closing plants -- streamlining he's pushing back on the unions in a way that's not been done in a long time.
Thanks taking a lot of the auto industry has suffered so certainly in Europe -- doesn't -- Well look you have some of the best luxury sports cars owned by fiat yet you have miles -- -- Ferrari.
They bought Chrysler Honda chief Karen US government to shut it down you know they took -- for a very cheap price and it's driving their profits -- -- -- global player.
What happens to be based in Italy.
Very -- -- we've -- run out of time but David Markus thank you so much for the optimistic view of Europe and we really appreciate you being here thank you very much our.

Harlequin Medical Romance: The Penhally Bay Series
When Mills & Boon celebrated its centennial a few years ago, it commissioned a series to mark the occasion in its Medical Romance line. The series was to be set in the fictional coastal Cornwall town of Penhally Bay and all the novels would focus on characters who came to work or already lived there.(…)

Future of space exploration -Poll
Since the end of the Apollo era, US space policy has been to develope systems for living in space and robotic exploration. The Interntional Space Station has been essential in learning how to construct, live and operate in space as well as be an excellent scientific outpost for research. Robotic missions have seen the farthest galaxies, inner workings of the sun and ventured to most of the planets as well as comets, asteroids and the edge of our solar system. Is this enough, or should we reach farther?
a) Should we maintain the status quo in Earth orbit? b) Should we colonize and industrialize the Moon and Mars? c) Should we explore Moon and Mars, but build an outpost near Jupiter? I choose 'c' Last edited by Boomhauer; 03-16-2011 at 05:25 AM.. |

Other, We should establish a life vessel to go out into space with the goal of exploration. That being said I wish we would spend more time fixing our planet and less time trying to explore other stars.
We feel this need because we keep hoping that another viable planet exists because everyone knows we are abusing and killing this one. Secondly we search for intelligent life else where because we've stopped trying to be and encourage intelligent life on our own planet. 1) Our status quo in earth's orbit sucks. The only thing we've polluted more than the ocean is the space around our planet. 2) We don't need homes on the moon or mars. Both are overrated and too far to be well connected. Neither is viable or self-sustaining. 3) Outpost near Jupiter may be viable if one of the moons has water but it is too far to be well maintained fromm Earth. We should spend the billions on cleaning the ocean, solar energy, feeding the starving masses and providing genetic medication to millions dying around the globe. |

Lockheed Martin just opened their space simulation facility for the new Orion spacecraft. The facility is located in Lockheed Martins Waterton Facility in the foothills s.west of Chatfield Reservoir. Orion was designed for mulitple missions carrying a crew of four beyond Earth orbit, including the Moon and Mars. Apollo is the only other spacecraft designed and built to travel beyond Earth and Orion the only one ment for deep space and Mars.
More at AviationWeek article - 3.24.11 http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/gener...&channel=space Later, an option of adding more crew and removing capabilities was made so it could carry astronauts just to orbit and back if nessisary. Current administration plans claim to want it as an emergency lifeboat for the International Space Station, with the Russian Soyuz and possibly SpaceX Dragon capsules handeling crew launch/return, but this will probably result in cancelling Orion. What should be done with this spacecraft? Last edited by Boomhauer; 03-24-2011 at 06:20 AM.. |

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden is an idiot
Sen. John D. Rockefeller (D-WV) intends to subpoena NASA. He and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) released a letter saying such June 23rd that also stated,
(-snip from Aviationweek.com 07.24.2011-)http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/gener...&channel=space "...NASA, they wrote, has repeatedly refused to provide documents the Senate Commerce Committee needs to conduct appropriate oversight of your agency. Among those documents are at least 19 separate drafts of a report required under the NASA Authorization Act of 2010 that may contain important information about the data and analyses NASA has relied on to comply with the 2010 acts space launch system and crew vehicle requirements. As the Senate committee responsible for developing NASAs policies and authorizing its expenditures, we also have the duty to make sure that NASA is spending taxpayers dollars in accordance with the law, Rockefeller and Hutchison say. In the process of conducting this legislative oversight, the committee has the right to any information that will aid us in understanding how and whether NASA is implementing the 2010 act. ..." The space launch system, or SLS, is the replacement super-heavy lifting rocket to replace the Space Shuttle. Administrator Charles Bolden earlier told Congress that such a rocket could not be completed on time or within budget. This is a lie. His alternative plan is to use the remaining Shuttle engines for the main stage of the SLS. They're no longer in production, with only enough remaining for test flights and maybe one actual flight. After that, he proposes an incredibly expensive, all-new engine development program and flight tests to replace it. Additionally, he's proposed a competition to replace the solid boosters (white sticks), including liquid boosters using AJ26 engines from California's Aerojet. These engines are also planned for the small TaurusII rocket contracted to deliver supplies to the International Space Station. Likewise, there's a limited number of AJ26s (old, refurbished Soviet engines) that will likely all be used by the TaurusII program (using a Ukranian main stage). Itself questionable because that company, Orbital, blew up the last two NASA satellites and the next planned launch is being reviewed. An alternative is to use slightly tweeked RS-68 engines for the main stage of the SLS. They were developed years ago off the Space Shuttle engines, like Bolden plans to do again, and have been in production for the DeltaIV rocket. Bolden should also stick with the solid booster, already developed and proven for decades, instead of massive investment and test flights for new ones. NASA could also restart work on the dirt-cheap AresI ('the stick') if solid motor production is secure and Europe's Astrium also submitted a similar rocket proposal called Liberty. It replaces the US upper stage with a tweeked main stage and motor from Europe's Ariene5 rocket. |

~~NASA 2012 Budget Bill~~ (summary)
http://www.spacenews.com/civil/11071...ulks-cuts.html $16.8bil total for the year = $1.6bil less than '11 and about $2bil less than little-O requested. "The legislation ... spelled out specific spending levels for NASAs nine major budget accounts and a handful of programs, including the Webb telescope. ...(but) opted to leave it to NASA to make many of the line-item cuts. Rather than including a detailed table showing the recommended levels for each individual project and activity proposed in the budget request, the Committee has chosen to provide a table that focuses more generally at the theme and program level with a limited amount of additional detail, ... This will permit NASA some discretion to allocate available funds according to the most urgent priorities and needs. " Space Operations Directorate = $4.06bil - $2.8bil for the space station - $749mil for space and flight support - $548mil closing the Shuttle program Exploration Mission Directorate = $3.65bil - $312mil for Commercial Crew development (Congress gave $500mil last Oct and little-O wanted $800mil) - $289mil for exploration R&D - $1.06 bil for Orion capsule - $1.99 bil for SLS 130ton heavy lift rocket "The subcommittee also warned NASA that funds appropriated for (SLS and Orion) are intended for design and development, and not for covering expenses related to civil service oversight, program integration, ground operations and mission operations. ... NASAs spending plan should clearly itemize all costs ... not directly tied to actual vehicle design and development and provide a justification for why those expenses cannot be addressed elsewhere or deferred, the report said." Science Missions Directorate = $4.5bil - $1.5bil for planetary science : Planned missions like MLS and Juno launching later this year and $10mil for facilities producing nuclear RTGs for future flights - $1.7bil for Earth science : Cut of $100mil "while urging the agency to protect, to the extent possible, high priority missions ... as well as missions with near-term launch readiness dates. " - $622mil for heliophysics - $643mil for astrophysics : Explicitly cuts the James Webb Space Telescope. "The report holds up the (JWST) as a poster-child for NASA inefficiency and a particularly serious example of the kind of cost overruns that are commonplace at NASA. The panel said it elected to make an example of JWST to establish clear consequences for failing to meet budget and schedule expectations. " JWST article from 3days earlier; http://www.spacenews.com/civil/11070...wn-senate.html "NASAs 2012 budget proposal, submitted back in February, asked Congress for $375 million for JWST for the coming year..." to keep it on track for a 2015 launch. Cross Agency Support = $3.05bill Aeronautics = $570mil Construction and Environmental Compliance = $424mil Space Technology = $375mil Education = $138mil Inspector General = $36mil note: Additional or corrected figures from http://www.parabolicarc.com/2011/07/...ts/#more-26847 and appropriations pdf-p.67 http://appropriations.house.gov/Uplo...2_SUBC_xml.pdf Last edited by Boomhauer; 07-12-2011 at 05:07 AM.. |

The James Webb Space Telescope and Ares1 rocket should both be funded and completed, but both face the ax due to ridiculous accounting exaggerations and policy squabbles. Though the cost for both, in this age of austerity, is not insignificant at around $1.5bil combined, the wealth of science gained by the JWST and cheap access to Low Earth Orbit provided by Ares1 is worth it. There are many foolish expenditures across the Federal Gov that could be cut instead of these two important programs. ~~ Last year it was estimated the JWST would cost $500mil over the next two years and be ready to launch by 2015. This telescope has about 9times the resolution of Hubble and sees in infrared wavelengths, allowing it to peer through dust that blocks visible light. For 2012, little-O proposed spending $375mil/yr over 5yrs before launch. The subcommittee used this figure to claim it wouldn't launch until 2018 and after $1.5bil, but that was a lie derived from little-O trying to bait and switch funding under a marque program. ~~ The Ares1 rocket, designed to loft the Orion capsule and/or supplies to the Space Station and beyond, was nearly complete, already has its launch tower built, already flew a boiler plate test flight and finished development on the solid engine. Per flight cost, including Orion, was at $140mil - equal to what a SpaceX Dragon would cost - but with twice the payload. In comparison, the Russians charge over $100mil for two astronauts and minimal supplies while Orion and Dragon launch seven astronauts. Since Ares1 would compete with California's SpaceX and the commercial space agenda, as well as replace ULA's heavy lift rockets for LEO construction at 1/3 the price, a random +$1bil/flight figure was presented to try and ax the program.

NASA selects Gale Crater for MSL
http://www.marsdaily.com/reports/NAS...novel_999.html This rover's capabilities and the location selected is awesome. To date, all rovers and landers to Mars have been baby steps to test procedures, mechanics and environment. The MSL -Mars Science Laboratory or Curiosity Rover - is a nuclear powered, car sized lab filled to the hilt with equipment. It is the first mission capable of thorough scientific exploration with breakthrough design - like the skycrane landing and spectroscopy laser - as well as proven equipment and systems from previous missions. Above is the entire Gale Crater, landing ovoid and mission path. Below, a better view of the terrain. Gale Crater is almost 100mi across with plains, canyons and a 3mi high mountain in the center. It is a microcosm of all Mars, located near the equator where Mars' two very different terrains meet (rugged south and lower-elevation northern plains). The vastly different elevations give a long and complete geologic record, as well as test navigation and mechanics like no other mission. IMO, this is the best, and should be the last, robotic rover sent to Mars. After this, we should send men. Last edited by Boomhauer; 07-29-2011 at 07:45 PM.. |

NASA's Jupiter orbiter (Juno) set for launch Friday Aug 4, 2011
http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/NA...aunch_999.html ~ The launch window for Jupiter occurs about every 13mos, taking place between this Aug 5th and 26th, unlike Mars where launch windows occur about every 2yrs. ~ An AtlasV rocket burning kerosene and liquid oxygen through a Russian engine, along with solid fuel strapon boosters, will hoist the Juno orbiter and a second stage rocket into Earth orbit in about 11min. The liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen second stage will then fire for about 9min, sending Juno on a 5yr journey to Jupiter. ~ Juno is designed to enter an elliptical polar orbit and study Jupiter's composition over a year. *edit: Juno successfully launched at 10:25am and separated from the second stage 53min later. Godspeed Juno. Last edited by Boomhauer; 08-05-2011 at 06:17 PM.. |

International Space Station may be temporarily abandoned = because of little-O
Info available in these two Aug 29th articles- USA Today.com http://content.usatoday.com/communit...yuz-failure-/1 SpaceTravel.com http://www.space-travel.com/reports/...light_999.html In brief...... ~ There's six men aboard the ISS and two Russian Soyuz capsules, each capable of carrying three. There's also a Russian cargo container docked (Progress), but its replacement was lost during launch a few days ago. The Station is stocked with supplies from the last Shuttle mission and is fine until the Japanese or European cargo containers (HTV and ATV respectively) launch in Spring 2012. ~ Due to a rash of failures in Russian rockets, Russia wants to launch both a Soyuz and a Progress before putting men on board. ~ The Soyuz capsule has a finite lifespan in orbit and both will end before the two Russia rest flights take place. Three astronauts must return in mid-Sept and the other capsule cannot be used after the end of Nov/first of Dec. Both articles list the high possibility the other three astronauts will return in mid-Nov and leave the Station unmanned. While it will continue to orbit and can be maintained from ground control, all the science experiments will end - some prematurely. Another option not mentioned is if the first Russian launch is a Soyuz capsule (as expected and is successful) in late Oct/early Nov, the remaining three astronauts could stay aboard until around late-May 2012, sending the old Soyuz back unmanned once its replacement arrives. They could continue the ISS science mission, including keeping the HTV and ATV launches and science on track. By late-May 2012, the new Soyuz capsule will be at the end of its lifespan and the crew will have been on orbit for nearly a year. If they cannot be replaced at that time, the ISS would then be abandoned. * For a bit of political twist, China is planning to launch their own 'space station' (little more than a can, temporarily manned like Skylab) around the end of the year. Should also be noted little-O has done everything possible to cancel the Shuttle replacement capsule and did cancel the rocket (Ares1) to carry it. Though both are still under development (the capsule nearly complete and the rocket has a final test next week), they would be flying right now as a replacement if not for his actions. In return, almost a billion has been spent on pork-barrel powerpoint presentations for commercial flight and made the US wholey dependent on the Russia vehicles for ISS access. |

Well you would think with all the global warming rhetoric ( end of the earth) blah blah blah they would support venturing out to new planets (but oddly they want to cut funding) hummmmmmmmmmmmm.

Mars Science Laboratory successfully launched today -
http://www.spacenews.com/civil/msl-b...yage-mars.html --and to update earlier posts; The Soyuz capsule successfully delivered three new crew members to the ISS, allowing three to return in their old capsule and keeping the crew compliment at six. The 2012 NASA budget was passed last week, but with different funding levels than earlier proposed - including another $1bill (bringing it to $17.8) and funding for the JWST. http://www.spacenews.com/civil/11111...get-funds.html |

In Bone-Colored Light features a collection of works created for Zeitgeist in the first decade of the new millennium. As an aural portrait of our artistic work of the last 10 years, it reveals the fertile creative relationships we forged and the aesthetic concerns that piqued our artistic curiosity.
As performers, our relationship with these works and the people who created them has been spiritually enlivening, intellectually challenging and joyously transformative.
Each of these works is remarkable, and the artistic voice resonating through each is undeniably singular. As a collection, they represent our zeitgeist. Performed by Heather Barringer, percussion; Patti Cudd; percussion; Pat O'Keefe, woodwinds; and Shannon Wettstein, piano, In Bone-Colored Light features new music composed by Anthony Gatto, Kathy Jackanich, Jerome Kitzke, Ivo Medek and Ethan Wickman.
On this album the folks in Zeitgeist take on the works of some of their favorite composers. In Bone-Colored Light features compositions by six composers: Anthony Gatto, Ivo Medek, Jerome Kitzke, Kathy Jackanich, and Ethan Wickman. These recordings were obviously a labor of love. Zeitgeist is Heather Barringer (percussion), Patti Cudd (percussion), Pat O'Keefe (woodwinds), and Shannon Wettstein (piano). These four individuals spent a great deal of time meticulously recording and mixing these pieces...the precise attention to detail is obvious. Some of these tracks are melodic and somewhat accessible...while others are experimental and bizarre. Challenging music with a distinctly different flavor. This music is remarkably fluid and resonant. Hard to compare this one to anything else or make comparisons (?). The folks at Innova Recordings continue to blow our minds year after year after year... Top pick.

Coach promoted to associate AD
Coach promoted to full-time associate athletic director
ANGOLA, Ind. — Trine University head basketball coach Rob Harmon has been promoted to associate athletic director.
Harmon has been employed in the Trine University athletic department for 16 years, serving as both coach and part-time associate athletic director. Harmon will transition from his coaching role to a new administrative role in the athletics department.
"I am grateful for this opportunity, and it comes at a good point in my career as I look forward to transitioning from coaching to a full-time role in athletic administration," Harmon said.
Due to the significant growth of Trine's student-athlete population (which now totals over 600 students), expansion of facilities and athletic programming and a desire to increase the number of summer sports programs, university officials believed this position was necessary, said Jeff Posendek, Trine University athletic director.
"Rob has an extensive background in athletic operations and management at the university level. He continuously demonstrates tremendous leadership and has the knowledge and ability to assist in a greater capacity as we move Trine's NCAA Division III athletic program to new heights," said Trine University president Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D.

Copyright © 2013 by Academic Psychiatry
Received July 20, 2011; Revised September 21, 2011; Revised January 26, 2012; Accepted February 15, 2012.
Objective The authors examined the career achievement of early- and mid-career researchers in social, behavioral, and mental health who participated in a career-development conference.
Method Trainees participated in a career-development conference either through attending a live conference supplemented with an online version of the conference (Combined: N=46) or through the online version of the conference alone (Web-Only: N=60). An objective measure tracked the trainees' publications, involvement in research projects, honors and grant awards, collaborations, and scientific presentations before and 9 months after participation in the career-development conference.
Results Statistical analysis showed that trainees improved for each category measured, with no significant differences across the Combined and Web-Only groups. The strongest variable affecting improvement was Time, and the most significant time effect was seen in the production of presentations and publications. A significant Gender difference was present, with women showing greater total career progress than men.
Conclusion Career-development conferences can support career growth for trainees. Online training provides a cost-effective and time-efficient alternative to in-person methods, while still enhancing key markers of career progress.
Training and supporting the pool of mental health researchers required for a thriving research community is difficult in part because of the length of time between education and research career independence (1). For example, the average age for receiving a National Institutes of Health independent research grant was 36 in 1981, but 42 in 2010 (2). During this time, financial and professional pressures can drive talented individuals out of research and into other fields (3).
Career-development conferences contribute to the retention of high-quality researchers by providing information specific to a research career, such as the grant submission process, as well as information generally applicable to all early-career professionals, such as finding a work–life balance (4). Conferences can also offer "survival skills" training by providing techniques for and examples of successful research career skills such as writing and negotiation strategies (5). Also, programs can facilitate the development of mentoring skills and relationships in a context where both senior and junior scholars can benefit (6, 7).
Although career-development conferences provide an established forum for continuing education, the costs of attending conferences in person can be prohibitive (8–10). Online conference dissemination may be a viable method for extending the value of career-development conferences. Conference websites, for example, can reduce registration and travel costs and increase international exposure for conference materials and ideas (11). Online conference material also allows researchers to fit educational time into a busy schedule and supports different learning preferences (12).
Previous work has shown that conference materials adapted for online training can yield similar knowledge gains when compared with in-person training (13). These findings are consistent with the "no significant difference" theory, which holds that qualities other than the training medium drive success for online education (14). In other words, online and in-person instruction are generally both effective for conveying knowledge when the same instruction methods are used (see references 15–18 for reviews).
Three objectively measurable research skills are well recognized as indicators of scientific development: running successful research projects, writing publications, and securing honors or grant awards. Several of the major career-development institutes explicitly list writing and earning grants in their mission statements (19–21). Furthermore, grants completed, papers published, and honors received are all used to measure excellence of scientific contributions during tenure decisions (22–24).
Scientific collaborations and presentations also provide beneficial experience to early-career researchers. Collaborations can be formal or informal and range from brainstorming to results- or expertise-sharing (25). Sharing data and experiences is particularly useful because it can influence scientific perspectives and challenge assumptions, especially at international levels (26). Collaboration may also improve researchers' chances for publication (27), a critical yet often challenging accomplishment for early-career researchers. Finally, scientific presentations emphasize both the cognitive and the social elements of career development (28) by offering professional and networking benefits for the individual researcher as well as providing a forum for disseminating scientific findings.
The current study examines online and in-person career-development training and the career advancement of attendees. Data are presented from 106 trainees who participated in three different career-development institutes: the 2008 Career Development Institute (CDI) for Bipolar Disorder, the 2008 CDI for Psychiatry, and the 2008 Leadership Training Institute (LTI). The work contributes to the question of how online and in-person research training can positively affect career change.
Participants in the current study included 106 trainees who participated in one of three career-development institutes, each of which took place during the spring of 2008: CDI for Bipolar Disorder (N=41), CDI for Psychiatry (N=41), and LTI (N=24). All participants were either early-career or mid-career researchers. Of the 106 participants, 75% percent of the participants were early-career, and 25% were mid-career. "Early-career" was defined as having obtained a terminal degree, having fewer than 10 peer-reviewed publications, and either having or seeking full-time employment in a research career (e.g., applying for a K award; first-year assistant professor status). Mid-career was defined as having obtained a terminal degree, having a broader range and higher number of peer-reviewed publications than early-career individuals, possibly having received some research funding but not yet being fully independent, and having some experience in a research career (e.g., receiving an R03 award; associate professor status).
The sample of trainees included 66% women and 34% men with a self-identified racial/ethnic distribution of 71% White, 15% Asian, and 14% Black, with 14% of the total sample reporting being of Hispanic descent. Chi-square analyses showed no significant differences across the three conferences by gender, career level, or ethnicity. However, significant differences in race were found (χ2[4]=35.30; p <0.0001) where more Black (50% for the LTI versus 4% for the CDIs) and fewer White trainees (33% for the LTI versus 81% for the CDIs) participated in the LTI than in the other two conferences. This difference reflects the fact that the LTI was designed specifically for women and minority researchers.
This study received expedited Institutional Review Board approval. Conference organizers solicited applications for their conference via national researcher list-servs, e-mail notifications to academic departments in relevant fields across the country, and advertisements in relevant professional organization publications. Each application required completion of an online form, submission of a CV, a statement of research experience and/or interests, and at least one letter of recommendation. More than 285 researchers applied for the three training programs, and attendees were competitively selected by the conference organizers, with a selection rate of approximately 50% of applicants.
Participants for this study were recruited from the list of conference attendees, as well as recommendations of conference faculty and direct e-mails to early- and mid-career researchers whose publications matched the conferences' respective areas of specialty. Study participants filled out an online or hardcopy consent form before completing pre-conference questionnaires. Participants had access to the career-development conferences through one of two conditions: 1) combination of in-person and online training (Combined: N=46), where participants attended the institute and also had subsequent access to the conference materials online; and 2) Web-Only training (Web-Only: N=60), where trainees had access to the conference materials-only online. Chi-square analysis showed no differences across the Combined and Web-Only conditions by conference, gender, race, Hispanic status, or career-level.
To maintain a high level of quality for the online component, live conference presentations were videotaped and adapted for online display (12). The online presentations provided viewing options that appealed to different learning preferences (e.g., full video presentation with transcript, slides and transcript only, transcript-alone). The mp3 audio files and slides for each presentation were also available for download. An online bulletin board, a downloads area, a links page, and faculty bio pages were also provided for each conference.
Participants completed a Career Progress Survey before and 9 months after participation in their respective conference. This timeframe represented approximately 1 year after acceptance into the study and completion of the pre-conference Career Progress Survey. This survey assessed different aspects of research career achievement and experiences, including current position, honors and awards, publications, career-development activities (e.g., seminars, training institutes), funding, and collaboration. Detailed information was collected to increase accuracy in reported information (e.g., publication citations, specific grant titles, and presentation title information).
Because of time and scheduling issues, 24 trainees dropped out over the course of the study (23% attrition rate). Chi-square analyses showed no evidence of selective attrition. Attrition analysis included initial level of career achievements, conference, study condition, gender, race, Hispanic status, or career level, and there were no significant differences between trainees who exited the study versus those who remained for any of these categories.
In the first set of analyses, the five key markers of career progress were examined: 1) number of publications (including peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, trade magazine articles, and abstracts); 2) number of grants on which the participant served as PI or Co-PI; 3) number of honors or awards; 4) number of current research collaborators; and 5) number of presentations. Each variable was collected at pre-assessment and again at a 9-month follow-up. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) across the five variables was run, with study Condition (Combined versus Web-Only) as the between-subjects variable and Time (pre-conference versus 9 months later) as the within-subject repeated factor. A main effect for Conference was significant at the multivariate level (F[20, 134]=2.13; p <0.05); therefore, Conference was included as a covariate and controlled for in all subsequent analyses.
Significant multivariate main effects for study Condition were found both at the pre-conference timepoint (F[5, 98])=2.91; p <0.05) and at 9-month follow-up (F[5, 71]=2.67; p <0.05; see Table 1). Univariate analyses revealed that participants in the Combined condition showed a significantly larger number of honors at pre-conference than did Web-Only participants (F[1, 102]=9.94; p <0.01), and participants in the Web-Only condition showed a trend toward higher number of collaborators at pre-conference than did the Combined participants (F[1, 102]=2.93; p<0.1). However, at 9-month follow-up, only number of honors continued to show this difference across study conditions (F[1, 75]=10.26; p <0.1). There were no significant multivariate interaction effects at either timepoint as a function of Conference, study Condition, Gender, Race, Hispanic status, or Career level.
Means with different superscript letters within a column were significantly different from one another across study conditions.
PI: principal investigator; SD: standard deviation.
Examination of the repeated-measures MANOVA indicated a significant multivariate effect for change over time from pre-conference to 9 months (F[9, 675]=18.00; p <0.0001). The Time effect did not vary by Condition. Univariate analyses revealed that this effect held for four of the five career-progress variables: number of publications (F[1, 75]=9.36; p <0.01), number of grants (F[1, 75]=6.95; p <0.01), number of research collaborations (F[1, 75]=3.95; p <0.05), and number of scientific presentations (F[1, 75]=11.11; p <0.01). Each marker of career progress significantly increased over time. Only the number of honors received did not show significant change over time. Also, there was a significant multivariate interaction effect for change over time by career level (F[9, 657]=1.90; p <0.05). The change in number of research collaborations varied for early-career versus mid-career level researchers (F[1, 73]=9.80; p <0.01). Specifically, least-squares means showed greater improvement for early-career individuals, from a total of 1.15 (SD: 0.67) at pre-conference to 4.15 (SD: 0.74) at 9 months, whereas mid-career researchers moved from a total of 3.92 (SD: 1.13) at pre-conference to 4.35 (SD: 1.26) at 9 months.
In a second analysis, a composite variable representing Total Career Progress was created based on demonstrated change in each career progress area. For each participant, a Total Career Progress score was calculated by allotting 1 point for each key marker that was greater at 9 months than it was at pre-conference, and an additional point was given for having a higher salary or a new job at follow-up. Descriptive analyses revealed that 57% of participants had an increase in salary, and 15% of Combined and 13% of Web-Only trainees had obtained a new position by the end of the study.
An analysis of variance (ANOVA) with study Condition as the between-subjects factor indicated no significant difference in Total Career Progress by Condition (Combined M=1.98; SD: 0.26; Web-Only M=2.03; SD: 0.23). However, a significant difference by Gender was found (F[1, 100]=8.12; p <0.01) where women showed greater overall career progress over time than did men (women: M=2.37, SD: 0.21; men: M=1.33, SD: 0.30). No other main or interaction effects were observed.
This study examined the career achievement of trainees before and 9 months after participation in a career-development conference. Trainees in social, behavioral, and mental health fields of research showed significant improvement in key career progress markers, with the number of presentations and publications showing the greatest degree of expansion. For Total Career Progress, female researchers showed the greatest overall career growth. Although the number of women graduating with terminal degrees has increased over time, a commensurate increase in leadership and faculty positions held by women has not yet been seen (29). The findings suggest that women with access to a career-development conference may show more proactive career behaviors than their male counterparts and thereby be in a stronger position for career advancement. This study supports the promise of career-development programs, such as the CDIs and LTI, for supporting the career trajectory of female researchers in particular.
Similar to previous studies (15–17), no significant differences in career progress over time were evident across the two study conditions, as measured through either individual markers or the Total Career Progress index. Thus, the combined in-person-plus-web-training group and the web-only training group each showed significant career progress regardless of how trainees participated in the conferences. This finding is congruent with previous work showing "no significant difference" in the benefits of online versus in-person training for knowledge acquisition (14) and extends this argument to suggest equal benefits with regard to career-enhancing skills and experiences. Although more work is needed regarding the degree to which career-development conferences directly contribute to improvements in these key career progress markers, this study suggests that online conferences offer equally potent career-enhancing opportunities for researchers. As has been found in past research comparing different training modalities, benefit for trainees is most likely determined by the quality of the underlying training materials, and not the particular training modality (14, 15).
Limitations of this study include its small sample size and the lack of a control condition that did not receive any training. Thus, the degree to which trainee career-development can be attributed to conference participation is limited. Questions remain about the ways in which time spent in various conference participation methods and individual initiative help produce successful career practices. Future research is needed with a larger set of trainees in order to explore how these factors interact with one another to determine career progress for researchers over time. Also, this study's timeframe was limited to approximately 1 year between pre-conference and follow-up assessment, which is a relatively short period in which to see substantial career growth. Whereas significant changes in key markers of career success were evident in this study, it is important that future research examine the longer-term impact of career-development conferences for career achievement over multiple years. In particular, given that online conferences offer fewer, or at least different, opportunities to obtain and engage with mentors, future studies should examine whether the impact of online educational programs over a longer career span differs from that of in-person programs.
In this difficult funding climate, when training programs face increased demands for justification, the measure of career advancement is particularly significant. Although a conference cannot be the sole form of support for trainees, this study bolsters the argument that career-development institutes can support significant positive change in career progress markers for trainees. In particular, online career-development conferences can provide affordable, feasible training opportunities to support the retention and career-enhancement of researchers on a broad scale. Given that online training modalities offer lower participation barriers and greater cost-effectiveness than in-person methods, this study underscores the potential value of offering high-quality, web-based career-development conferences as a viable means to increase access to career-development training opportunities for researchers.
