Almirall, Daniel, Scott Compton, Meredith Gunlicks-Stoessel, Naihua Duan, and Susan A. Murphy. 2012. "Designing a pilot sequential multiple assignment randomized trial for developing an adaptive treatment strategy." Statistics in Medicine, 31(17): 1887-1902.
There is growing interest in how best to adapt and readapt treatments to individuals to maximize clinical benefit. In response, adaptive treatment strategies (ATS), which operationalize adaptive, sequential clinical decision making, have been developed. From a patient's perspective an ATS is a sequence of treatments, each individualized to the patient's evolving health status. From a clinician's perspective, an ATS is a sequence of decision rules that input the patient's current health status and output the next recommended treatment. Sequential multiple assignment randomized trials (SMART) have been developed to address the sequencing questions that arise in the development of ATSs, but SMARTs are relatively new in clinical research. This article provides an introduction to ATSs and SMART designs. This article also discusses the design of SMART pilot studies to address feasibility concerns, and to prepare investigators for a full-scale SMART. We consider an example SMART for the development of an ATS in the treatment of pediatric generalized anxiety disorders. Using the example SMART, we identify and discuss design issues unique to SMARTs that are best addressed in an external pilot study prior to the full-scale SMART. We also address the question of how many participants are needed in a SMART pilot study. A properly executed pilot study can be used to effectively address concerns about acceptability and feasibility in preparation for (that is, prior to) executing a full-scale SMART.

Worst Customer Service Ever!!!
Upon arrival, it was discovered that there was a mix up in my reservations. Your hotel staff including the desk manager on duty at the time showed no empty or concern. They mad no efforts to accommodate my family. Instead, they were very rude and arrogant in handling this matter. It was apparent that neither my family or my money were welcomed.

Great hotel stay overall
Everything was top notch.. beds were a bit firm, they could improve with a pillow top on the mattress. Otherwise the hotel was perfect and super friendly staff, good fresh breakfast. We were allowed to check in early and the desk manager was very accommodating to that request. Rooms were clean and in perfect condition. All great, I will stay here every time that I over night in the MS Delta area.

Five months after two young cousins vanished while riding their bikes, residents of the northeast Iowa, United States, community where they were last seen are anxiously waiting to hear whether two bodies found by hunters are those of the missing girls.
The families of Elizabeth Collins and Lyric Cook were informed that the bodies were discovered on Wednesday(local time) in a wooded area, Black Hawk County sheriff's Captain Rick Abben said. Elizabeth was 8 and Lyric was 10 when they disappeared July 13 near a popular recreational lake in Evansdale, about 150 kilometres northeast of Des Moines.
Abben said the bodies were being sent to the state medical examiner's office for identification. He said he hoped to release more information Thursday afternoon (local time).
"It's definitely not the outcome that we wanted, obviously," said Abben, appearing to fight back tears. He spoke at a news conference in Evansdale, where the girls were being watched by their grandmother when they disappeared.
"This is a difficult thing for us to go through. It's a difficult thing for the community," he said.
In posting on her Facebook page Thursday, Heather Collins, Elizabeth's mother, wrote that the outcome saddened her but that now "we know our girls are dancing up with our saviour."
A message was left with Craig Ceilly, who has acted as the Collins family's media liaison in the past. Abben said the families had requested privacy.
The bodies were found at Seven Bridges Wildlife Area, about 40 kilometres from Evansdale, authorities said. Investigators from several agencies were working in the tree-covered area, which is intersected by the Wapsipinicon River and is popular for hunting and fishing.
"I would call it more of a secluded area," said Bremer County Sheriff Dewey Hildebrandt. "But it does get regular visits from people that like to use the outdoors."
Hildebrandt said investigators from his agency, the FBI and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and others were processing the area as a crime scene and asked the media to stay away.
At the girls' schools, additional counsellors were made available for students and others, said Sharon Miller, the Waterloo schools spokeswoman. Lyric Cook would have been in fifth grade at Kingsley elementary in Waterloo and Elizabeth Collins would have been in fourth grade at Poyner school in Evandsale.
"We're making it available to anyone across our community who feels the need. We want them to know that's available to them," she said.
Iowa Senator Jeff Danielson, a Cedar Falls firefighter, said the case has affected everyone in the area deeply.
He is drafting proposed legislation that would provide faster distribution of information about missing children through law enforcement and social media. Last summer, some family and community members complained about a lack of information about the case.
"We believe that we can speed up the time that the public is aware of an abduction and let them be our eyes and ears in the immediate time frame," he said.
About 70 people attended a Wednesday night prayer vigil at Meyers Lake in Evansdale, where investigators had found the girls' bicycles and a pink purse hours after they went missing. Some were holding out hope that the bodies weren't those of the missing cousins, though others seemed resigned to accept tragic news.
"I don't want to think the worst, but two bodies. It's just really heartbreaking," said Amanda Mulzac, who lives in nearby Waterloo and was among hundreds of volunteers who helped in the initial search. "At their age I was out by myself, but now it's different. Hold your babies close."
Hundreds of volunteers helped investigators to search for girls, traipsing through cornfields and wooded areas in and around Evansdale, a city of 8000 residents. The mayor even joined the search in his private plane.
Days later, an FBI dive team brought in specialised equipment to search the bottom of the lake. Police then classified the case as an abduction.
Investigators had largely been tight-lipped in the months since. An FBI spokeswoman initially said investigators had reason to believe the girls were alive, but other investigators backtracked, saying only that there was no reason to believe the girls were dead.
Authorities had asked hunters to look out for the girls during the deer hunting season.
Jennifer Lancaster, chief law enforcement official for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources in northeastern Iowa, said she believed deer hunters stumbled upon the bodies and reported them immediately.
Investigators have looked into thousands of tips and chased multiple theories in the case.
They looked into Cook's parents, who had criminal records for prior involvement in making methamphetamine. Cook's father, Daniel Morrissey, is being prosecuted for domestic assault and a series of meth and other drug charges, and he backed out of a plea agreement with prosecutors the day before the disappearance. They have denied any involvement.
The region had rallied in support of the girls. Photographs of the cousins seemed to be everywhere in northeastern Iowa: on T-shirts and buttons worn by locals, and on fliers hung on gas station walls and in business windows. Last week, an anonymous donor pledged US$100,000 for information about the girls' whereabouts, on top of the US$50,000 that police had offered.
After Wednesday night's vigil, family friend Sarah Curl said it was a tight-knit, caring community.
"When something happens to one family it happens to all of our families," Curl said. "This could have happened to anyone."

Question & Answers
Help with level 275
I'm stuck on level 275. Any advice?
Answer from: Sky
A few ideas I hope get you started:
- I'd suggest exiting the game and restarting if you can't pop the bubbles next to the switch on the first shot. Use the sideways equal sign to exit without losing energy.
- use your second shot to get a switch
- use your first firebomb to aim at the three bubble blowers. Try to get two of them if you can. Three is even better but tough to do.
- use the second firebomb to get the lower bubble blower and the stone.
After the chain, go left and right to get towards the top. You need luck in this level.
Answer from: Kasia
After many many tries over one week the set up has changed! There were only 2 upper blower bubbles and it was fairly easy to hit the switch, get firebombs and break the chain. I even had 1 firebomb left to use at the top. Patience and good luck :-)

Dimensions of Perfectionism in Unipolar Depression

We tested the hypothesis that self-oriented perfectionism, other-oriented perfectionism, and socially prescribed perfectionism are related differentially to unipolar depression. The Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale was administered along with measures of depression and anxiety to 22 depressed patients, 22 matched normal control subjects, and 13 anxiety patients. It was found that the depressed patients had higher levels of self-oriented perfectionism than did either the psychiatric or normal control subjects. In addition, depressed patients and anxious patients reported higher levels of socially prescribed perfectionism than did the normal control subjects. The results suggest that various dimensions of perfectionism may play an important role in clinical depression.
Recently there has been renewed interest in personality factors related to depression (see Carson, 1989). Perfectionism is a construct that has been described as a potential vulnerability factor in depression by both psychoanalytic (Bibring, 1953) and cognitive theorists (Beck, 1967; Kanfer & Hagerman, 1981 ). For example, Kanfer and Hagerman contended that excessive selfstandards serve to increase the frequency and magnitude o f failure experiences. Perfectionistic self-standards and attendant failure experiences combine with self-blame or distress to produce depression. Investigations have confirmed the presence o f an association between perfectionism and subclinical depression (Hewitt & Dyck, 1986; Hewitt & Flett, 1990); however, these studies are limited in several respects. For example, there have been no direct examinations of perfectionism in clinically depressed patients, so it is not known whether past findings generalize to the experience of clinical depression. The need for direct research is further indicated by the equivocal findings o f previous studies that have examined clinical depression and certain components of the perfectionism construct, including high self-standards and discrepancies between the actual and ideal self (Carver, LaVoie, Kuhl, & Ganellen, 1988; Ganellen, 1988; Strauman, 1989). Finally, most previous research has been limited by a ten-

dency to view the perfectionism construct from a unidimensional cognitive perspective (Burns, 1983). Recent studies have shown that the perfectionism construct is multidimensional and has both personal and social aspects (Frost, Marten, Lahart, & Rosenblate, 1990; Hewitt & Flett, in press). For instance, factor analyses of our Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS; Hewitt & Flett, 1989, in press) have identified three components of perfectionism: Self-Oriented, Other-Oriented, and Socially Prescribed Perfectionism. According to Hewitt and Flett (in press), self-oriented perfectionism is an intrapersonai dimension characterized by a strong motivation to be perfect, setting and striving for unrealistic self-standards, focusing on flaws, and generalization o f self-standards. Self-oriented perfectionism may also involve a well-articulated ideal self-schema (see Hewitt & Genest, 1990). Other-oriented perfectionism involves similar behaviors, but these behaviors are directed toward others instead o f toward the self. Finally, socially prescribed perfectionism entails the belief that others have perfectionistic expectations and motives for oneself. The need for a multidimensional approach is indicated by research with college students that has shown that both self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism are correlated positively with subclinical depression (Flett, Hewitt, Blankstein, & O'Brien, in press; Hewitt & Flett, in press). These findings notwithstanding, it remains to be established whether the various perfectionism dimensions are involved in clinical depression. Thus, the primary goal o f this study was to use a multidimensional perspective to examine whether clinically depressed persons are characterized by high levels of perfectionism. Although our main purpose was to examine perfectionism and clinical depression, we felt it was also important to examine perfectionism and other forms o fpsychopathology, such as anxiety disorders. A link with anxiety is suggested by past research that has shown an association between self-oriented perfectionistic attitudes and trait anxiety in college students (Flett, Hewitt, & Dyck, 1989). An association between socially prescribed perfectionism and anxiety is particularly likely given that a fear of negative social evaluation is an important element of both constructs (Endler & Okada, 1975), as well as the fact

Motorcycle Accident Friday evening on Route 208 near Route 522.
Posted in the Mineral Forum
1 - 9 of 9 Comments Last updated Sep 6, 2010
United States
#1 Apr 13, 2008
There was a serious motorcycle accident Friday evening (4/11). Route 208 was closed and a lifeline helicopter was brought in to transport the motorcycle driver. Does anyone have any news about the circumstances?
#2 Apr 14, 2008
I was wondering the same thing. We were on our way to Lake Anna and tried to take 208 but it was closed around 6pm Friday. The road was still closed around 11pm when a friend tried to take 208. I spoke to a lady working at Dickenson Store around 6, and she was told that there was a head on collision between a motorcycle and a car, but no word on if anyone was killed.
#3 Apr 15, 2008
The motorcycle driver wasn't killed by the accident.
#4 Apr 15, 2008
good, I hope he is ok and he pulls through.
#5 Feb 25, 2009
The driver of the truck cut a corner and hit the M/C on the side. A friend, who knows the M/C driver, says the motorcyclist lost a leg in the incident.
#6 May 11, 2009
i think they should of tested him for drugs and seen what really happend
#7 Aug 30, 2010
so you think you know the mc driver? whats your name..btw they ALWAYS test for drugs..i think you are an ass no test needed.
#8 Sep 6, 2010
If the truck hit the m/c driver, then the trucker should be tested. Not only for drugs, but eyeglasses.

It is unfortunate to learn of such a serious accident. I offer my sincerest thoughts & prayers to you and your family. I frequent both of these routes on a regular basis & depending on the exact location of the accident, some of the turns on 208 can be quite dangerous. It is devasting to learn that the M/C Rider lost a limb in this obvious horrific accident, life will never be the same, and you will be faced with many challenges related to this. I hope that you find the support and strength to endure the recovery that is ahead of you.
We just don't never know what we will encounter on these roads, that can be so treacherous. Please everyone when you are driving our rural roads of Spotsylvania, be thoughtful that others lives are in your hands. A vehicle of any type is a deadly weapon, if not used with caution.
Hope your recovery is uneventful, and you adapt quickly.
Thoughts & Prayers to All Involved

Kira Salak
Photograph by Remi Benali
Kira Salak doesn't want to tell you what you already know. Her daring journeys and the articles and books that emerge from them reveal people, places, and situations most people will never see.
"I want to travel in a way that lets me have a really intimate experience with local people," she explained.
Called a "real-life Lara Croft" by the New York Times, Salak has traveled solo to almost every continent, visiting some of the world's most remote places, including locations in Madagascar, Mozambique, Bangladesh, Papua New Guinea, and Borneo. She was the first documented person to kayak solo 600 miles down West Africa's Niger River. She was also the first woman to traverse Papua New Guinea. And a 700-milencycling trip carried her across Alaska to the Arctic Ocean. Next she's eager to cross Mongolia on horseback. "The freedom and sheer beauty of riding ponies across a huge country with five time zones is very appealing," she says.
Her penchant for low-tech solo travel hearkens to an earlier era of exploration. "I have so much respect for those old explorers—the hardships they endured and the extraordinary things they were able to accomplish given their circumstances. It may be more frightening to travel alone, but by going into my fear I come out feeling so much more empowered."
Although her travel history has broken one gender stereotype after another, Salak still encounters resistance to the idea of a woman traveling alone through remote and dangerous regions. "I get a lot of raised eyebrows from the men. But on my trip down the Niger River, the village women crowded on the shore and raised their hands in a cheer. They yelled out, 'Femme forte' [strong woman] and cheered for me as I paddled by."
Salak's first forays to exotic lands were made inside her mind. These imaginative journeys were expressed in her first short story at the age of six and the nonstop writing that continued throughout her childhood. She made her first real trip alone at 19, driven to find "what was utterly new, the most unfamiliar places, things I had never even imagined."
By 20, Salak was backpacking through Africa and heading for a pivotal event that would dramatically change her attitude toward travel. Alone in Mozambique at the height of a brutal civil war, she was kidnapped by marauding soldiers and forced to make a terrifying escape.
"It took the blinders off and gave me a very sobering view of the world," she says. "Since then I've sought out countries that are dangerous in order to reveal situations no one else is covering, like slavery in Timbuktu and genocide in eastern Congo. These tragedies are very emotionally difficult to witness, but if by shedding light on them I can improve even one person's life, I feel it's worth the risk."
Although now familiar with the horrific, Salak remains hopeful. "From Libya to Borneo to New Guinea—where, for example, most villagers I met had never seen a white person before—I always find common ground. When you get beyond politics and superficial cultural differences, people all want the same things: peace, happiness, success for their children, and the best standard of life."
Between adventures Salak has found time to earn a Ph.D. in English literature and creative writing from the University of Missouri in Columbia. She still holds the Wisconsin state track and field record for the women's mile. Tae kwon do, kickboxing, primitive camping, and scaling mountains without climbing equipment are among her favorite pastimes.
"Ever since I was a child," she says, "when someone tells me I can't do something, it just empowers me all the more. People's doubts in my ability only strengthen my resolve. When they say I can't accomplish a challenge, I just eat that up."

Jane Brody's curator insight, November 3, 2013 12:33 PM
While Jung is neglected in psychology departments, he is vital for artists. Whether his writings pass the limited view of psychology, they are an essential touchstone for artists of all kind because they attempt to merge the mundane with the luminous.
Alexis Niki's curator insight, July 24, 2013 8:32 AM
Favorite insight from author Simon Staffans: "There's no contest here, at least not for me. Story is everything when it comes to transmedia. Is it a compelling and immersive story that has the weight and the bones to stretch to different platforms? Does it have a story world already in place, or is it easily conceivable how such a world could be designed and developed? Are the protagonists and antagonists (and side characters) suitable for a deeper mythology? Is it possible to sense the existence of a narrative superstructure somewhere along the road? If a project's Story supports transmedia, you're halfway there. If it doesn't, don't bother."
Marco Bertolini's curator insight, July 24, 2013 9:28 AM

Paul McCartney Speaks About New LP and Divorce
Paul McCartney attended a news conference held to mark the official release of his new effort "Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart)" Monday September 25th, 2006.
The new set actually is a classical album which McCartney started to write when his first wife, Linda McCartney, was still alive. More on the LP, the singer said its lyrics were inspired by what he believes is important in life.
During that time, McCartney also spilled the bean on his divorce with estranged wife Heather Mills, saying "I'm doing fine thank you. It's OK. I'm enjoying music. It's something I love to do. It's something that sustains me. So I'm enjoying it, finishing this project off and also the next one."
In other McCartney news, the veteran singer will perform his new classical album "Ecce Cor Meum" live at the Royal Albert Hall in London on November 3rd later this year.

It seems Rahman Ali fell for some bad press rope-a-dope. He was quoted this week saying his brother Muhammad, 71, was near death, a prisoner in his home and a victim of elder abuse by his third wife, Lonnie. But in response, the Ali camp posted a fresh picture of the boxing legend and blamed "less than reputable publications" for making up the story. Rahman Ali appeared to confirm that too.
It's not the first time there have been claims about Ali being used or abused. In the early 1960s, it was suggested he had been led astray by Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam, then at the height of his career there were stories that he was being milked dry by a 55-strong entourage of hangers-on. Then and now, it all came down to money and power, and it appeared this week these could have been opening salvos over a fight for what remains of Ali's estate.
"The Greatest" was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1984 and has gone from being one of the most regularly seen and heard people on the planet to a man who makes cameo appearances at the Olympic Games. Ali's impact on sport, civil rights and cultural and international relations has been profound, but how much he was guided by others is debatable.
What's not debatable is that a meeting between 19-year-old Cassius Clay and wrestler Gorgeous George shaped the boxer's career. Ali was so impressed with the showman that he began to mimic his vanity and pomp. He also had the gift of the gab and, by the time he had converted to Islam, he was already known as the Louisville Lip. No sports star had imposed his personality in such a way before. White America disliked him, the British loved him, even when he knocked out their great white hope, Henry Cooper.
Ali's stand against the Vietnam War ("I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong") and his subsequent punishment was a watershed moment. It is unthinkable that a world sporting body would today strip a man of its title for refusing to enlist.
History will largely overlook Ali's flaws - he was unfaithful, he had a mean streak which occasionally showed in the ring, and he misjudged the consequences of his actions, notably in the way he alienated his friend, the late Joe Frazier.
A desire to keep in character probably made him conservative, at times, with the truth, in particular on the fate of his 1960 Rome Olympic Games gold medal.
He was an incredible athlete who could sing, dance and act on any stage.
After retiring, he helped free hostages, including 15 held by Saddam Hussein in 1990, carried out charity work around the world and broke a self-imposed silence to make an emotional statement post 9/11 about what being Muslim was about.
That Ali was in the news this week was appropriate. As sport tackles another doping scandal, it's worth noting he also represented, possibly, the last generation of pure boxers before drugs turned them into super-humans, if not sub-human.
The Ali shuffle is not what it used to be and his autobiographic film The Greatest is in The Warehouse bargain bin. But the Ali legend, Liston to Foreman, Louisville to Kinshasa and Vietnam to Iraq will endure any amount of illness and time.
