Costs of new food safety rules remain years away
- FDA says it will be at least three years before rules are implemented
- New rules will cost farms and food manufacturers up to $500 million a year
- Advocates says long-overdue rules could have saved thousands of lives
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration's new food-safety rules will cost businesses about half a billion dollars annually.
Proposed Friday, they will make the food Americans eat safer and help prevent food-borne diseases that every year kill about 3,000 people and sicken at least 2 million others.
It will still be another three years before the rules are implemented at the biggest farms and even longer at smaller farms. The new rules could cost large farms $30,000 a year, according to the FDA. The federal agency did not break down costs for individual processing plants, but said the rules could cost manufacturers up to $475 million annually.
The new rules come exactly two years to the day President Obama's signed food safety legislation passed by Congress, But their administration delayed enactment until after the election. The 2011 law required the FDA propose a first installment of the rules a year ago and food safety advocates sued the administration to expedite the process.
STORY:"New era' in food-safety rules dished out
This marks the first time the FDA has had real authority to regulate food on farms. In an effort to stave off protests from farmers, the rules apply only to certain fruits and vegetables that pose the greatest risk, like berries, melons, leafy greens and other foods that are usually eaten raw. Rules for a farm that produces green beans that will be canned and cooked will not change.
Those types of exceptions along with the realization that outbreaks are bad for business have brought the produce industry and much of the rest of the food industry on board as Congress and FDA work to make food safer.
The most sweeping food-safety guidelines in decades will require farmers to take new precautions against contamination, to include making sure workers' hands are washed, irrigation water is clean, and that animals stay out of fields. Food manufacturers will have to submit food safety plans to the government to show they are keeping their operations clean.
Many food companies and farmers already follow the steps the FDA will require. But officials and food safety advocates say implementing the rules earlier could have saved lives and prevented illnesses in several of the large-scale outbreaks that have hit the country in recent years.
FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said the rules' success depend on how much money Congress gives the chronically underfunded agency. "Resources remain an ongoing concern," she said.
The farm and manufacturing rules are only one part of the food safety law. The bill also authorized more surprise inspections by the FDA and gave the agency additional powers to shut down food facilities. In addition, the law requires stricter standards on imported foods. The agency said it will soon propose other overdue rules to ensure that importers verify overseas food is safe and to improve food safety audits overseas.
"The new law should transform the FDA from an agency that tracks down outbreaks after the fact, to an agency focused on preventing food contamination in the first place," said Caroline Smith DeWaal of the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
In a peanut butter outbreak this year linked to 42 salmonella illnesses, inspectors found samples of salmonella throughout Sunland.'s peanut processing plant in New Mexico and multiple obvious safety problems, such as birds flying over uncovered trailers of peanuts and employees not washing their hands.
Outbreaks of listeria in cheese and salmonella in peanut butter, mangoes and cantaloupe were linked to more than 400 illnesses and as many as seven deaths just since last summer, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The actual number of those sickened is likely much higher.
In a 2011 outbreak of listeria in cantaloupe that claimed 33 lives, FDA inspectors found pools of dirty water on the floor and old, dirty processing equipment at Jensen Farms in Colorado where the cantaloupes were grown.
When the rules are implemented, companies will have to lay out illness-prevention plans, monitor their own progress and explain to the FDA how they would correct them.
"The rules go very directly to preventing the types of outbreaks we have seen," said Michael Taylor, FDA's deputy commissioner for foods.
Pamela Bailey, president of the Grocery Manufacturers Association, which represents the country's biggest food companies, said in a statement Friday that the food safety law "can serve as a role model for what can be achieved when the private and public sectors work together to achieve a common goal."

From Uncle Fred Flits By by P.G. Wodehouse:
The meaning of bulging by dictionary is: protruding part, a sudden increase in number or quantity, and last is: an advantage. I don't see any of these fit in the phrase "bulging with Pongo's lunch" - How can these be applied to "lunch" - a food ?
So when, on the occasion to which I allude, he stood pink and genial on Pongo's hearth-rug, bulging with Pongo's lunch and wreathed in the smoke of one of Pongo's cigars, and said: 'And now, my boy, for a pleasant and instructive afternoon,' you will readily understand why the unfortunate young clam gazed at him as he would have gazed at two-penn'orth of dynamite, had he discovered it lighting up in his presence.
Please explain me the meaning of the sentence also, I am not able to clearly get its meaning although I have referred the oxford dictionary for all the words I don't know.

Business practices, vetting and onboarding processes
Through questions about human rights, ethics, business continuity and environmental practices in our standard Requests for Proposal (RFP) template, we strive to confirm that potential suppliers are operating responsibly. We are also implementing processes to help us understand how our existing suppliers are performing against this criterion.
We require that RFPs for competitive bid include a questionnaire on environmental practices, and we weight sustainability factors when making procurement decisions or based on local scoring requirements. Since the end of fiscal 2016, our geographic Procurement teams have included environmental, social and governance performance of prospective suppliers as a weighted factor for purchasing decisions in the categories with the largest sustainability impact (IT and telecom, travel and mobility, and workplace and facilities).
Further, we have explicit requirements for suppliers who wish to subcontract any of our work. These specify our awareness of, and agreement to, the arrangement and the assurance that appropriate terms and conditions are being met by the subcontractor.
Once a supplier has agreed to our Supplier Standards of Conduct and begins work, through our due diligence processes, we pay particular attention to any suppliers who have access to confidential and personal data. We work with our suppliers to resolve any issues that arise during our reviews and will take action, including termination of contracts if necessary, if no acceptable resolution is found.
We continue to require extensive, robust internal approvals before we engage with vendors. As part of our Global Procurement Risk Management Program, in fiscal 2015, we created our Procurement Risk Management Centre of Excellence to ensure that all required controls are correctly embedded into our operational processes and to provide guidance and support to Procurement teams executing risk management controls. Our global training program reaches all Procurement team members on business intermediary vetting, anti-competition and information security.
All subcontractors and other supplier personnel who need an Accenture e-mail address and identity (ID) credentials must also complete compliance training on information security, data privacy and ethics (except where restricted due to local laws). As part of our ongoing drive to simplify business operations, in fiscal 2015, we established a global capability to improve contractor onboard and exit controls, and in early fiscal 2016, we expanded the Ethics & Compliance training requirements for contractors.
See the video to learn about our commitment to the United Nations Global Compact around environment, social and governance factors and the human rights and high labor standards we require of our global network of suppliers.View Transcript

Research at Loango
Current projects focus on:
- Ecological and social correlates of communication
- Genetic and behavioral endocrinology
- Health and disease prevention/monitoring
- Intercommunity interactions
- Predation
- Tool use and cooperation
- Biomonitoring with camera traps
Throughout the history of the project, we have contributed to the establishment and implementation of new methods for research and conservation. We aim to continue with innovative research projects that apply new tools to field research concerning endangered species. The camera trap data are of significant value to the conservation efforts of many endangered species throughout the park. Our video footage, from camera traps dispersed across the study site, contribute to the growing database of the Pan African program (PanAF) through the Chimp&See project. This initiative aims to raise public awareness about wildlife conservation.

They grow up so fast! The National Zoo's young giant panda has reached another milestone, but it means her time in D.C. will soon come to an end.
Bao Bao turns 3 on Tuesday. That means she only has a year left at the National Zoo before she goes to China to enter its panda breeding program. China owns the pandas at the zoo, and any cubs born in Washington will eventually go back there.
Bao Bao is the second of three surviving cubs born to Mei Xiang during her time at the zoo. She now weighs 180 pounds and is classified as a "sub-adult.'' Pandas can begin breeding between the ages of 4 and 6.
The zoo celebrated the birthdays of Bao Bao, 1-year-old brother Bei Bei and their father Tian Tian on Saturday.

See below for descriptions of the materials we use to display images. For information about hanging the PrintedArt mounted prints, please read our hanging instructions.
We mount your printed image with a special adhesive to a double layer of thin aluminum with a PVC core in between. This material guarantees extraordinary stiffness and a very even surface. As an additional protective layer, the image receives a laminated finish to protect it from the elements and from UV damage. Both matte and glossy images can be mounted on aluminum dibond. The mounted image comes with hangers that allow for the image to hang frameless. Mounting hardware is included.
Sealing the image with a layer of acrylic gives it sheen and guarantees extraordinary durability. The image is mounted behind an acrylic plate before being glued on the aluminum dibond. In addition to the increased durability, this method gives the images improved depth perception and vibrance. All images mounted with acrylic can be hung directly on the wall without framing. Mounting hardware is included.
Our canvas prints are mounted on a stretch frame for display in what is commonly known as a "gallery wrap". This means the printed image will be wrapped around a wooden frame so that part of the photo is covering the sides of the frame. This allows the canvas print to hang without the need for framing.
When planning to order your canvas print, you will need to keep in mind that any detail in the image that is close to the edge might end up on the side of the frame rather than the flat surface. For example, when submitting a portrait shot, make sure the face in the portrait is more than 1 inch away from the edge to ensure that it does not get wrapped.
The same rule is valid for any other important detail: Check your image and verify that you have at least 1 inch on all sides that can be wrapped around the edges of the frame.

LONGGGG day at the hospital.
Posted by Bluebirdy at 22:31 3 comments Links to this post
Hi Precious friends, so many of you are earth angels, helping to carry me though this.
Also Heavenly Father has just been carrying me this past 8 days that Mom's been in the hospital. I have not been able to go out for 8 days in a row since 1 year ago when Dad and Mom were both in the hospital at the same time, and Dad passed away, then I had to keep going to prepare the funeral TWICE because there was a blizzard, and all the original speakers and guests couldn't get into town. (For you newbies, I can't get out every day due to advanced health problems.)
Well now it is blizzarding again. These conditions are just so similar to when Dad passed, I can't help but think "what if"...but doing that can make you crazy. You can "what if" yourself to insanity.
I spent 6 hours the past few days on legal work to get my husband home, and finish the work for the new lawyer before the court date in 3 weeks, then the other 6-10 hours a day, I am with Mom. I was glad I went today. They had switched doctors on her, and the new doctor changed around all her medicines that we worked so hard to get perfect in the first place. She could not even move or talk she was in so much pain. I insisted they get another doctor up there to change them back, because she was in so much pain that her blood pressure went high enough to cause a stroke. The new Dr. came and ordered more meds than before, so it will keep her blood pressure down and keep her out of pain, and ordered more tests and procedures. I was glad to be her advocate and be able to help her. I wish I could stay there with her 24/7 but I would have to have the bed next to her if I stayed that long.
They said they will do anything to avoid surgery, which would kill her...but they fear that her bowel might burst, which would mean emergency surgery anyway.
I know that my loving Savior will help me through anything that happens, but some things I just don't want to go through, such as losing Mom, losing this house just a month or so before my husband gets here, or losing the chance to get my husband here. If they happen, I'm sure I will survive, but I sure dread facing it all. Oh well, half the things we worry about never happen anyway, so I need to stop worrying. A year ago, I had a lot of anxieties, but so many online friends helped me grow, so now I only worry when I am really tired. Worrying about it now will just make me suffer twice if it does happen. Once now and once then. That's not smart...so I keep my mind busy with how I can prepare for the future, not fear it.
Blessings to you all,

RECIPE: 5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).
*And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world ?*
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any
time of the day or night!

Picture on the top left is a 10 minute walk from my husband's house where he walked daily for his exercise. It is now too dangerous to walk there. and you will find tanks and ammunition and camps of Taliban in that spot.
Picture on the right is one of the back alleys by the house my husband is in. Just through that alley is the market place, (Bazaar) where there are big signs that say "NO WOMEN ALLOWED". Shop keepers who allow women in will be shot. There are dead bodies hanging in the market, within vision of the food markets in the streets. That would lower your food bill! It would make you too sick to want to buy food! There are other things hanging there but I dare not mention it here, because it is disturbing to sensitive people.
The bottom picture is one of the destroyed schools. ALL schools are now destroyed or closed. Last month it was only the girls schools. This is directly against Islam's beliefs, who believe that education is the only way to learn about God and how you are supposed to live. I think Education is second on a Muslim's list of priorities. God, then education. So the Taliban are NOT upholding Islamic law.
Interesting fact: One man who belongs to the Taliban is called a Talib. It is the singular for the plural word of "Taliban". "A band of Talibs are called Taliban". They do not only attack "the west". They attack anyone.
I think I have been am a bit S-T-R-E-S-S-E-D by this war for 2 years now. I know we all are stressed, but this is a very unusual stress for someone in N. America to be going through, to be spending my days proofreading documents that talk about horrific atrocities that often send us to the bathroom to be sick, or we just have to stop for a break because of the shock of what we just translated. I feel almost as though I am in the war with him, but to a lesser degree. I am not alone in the fact of worrying about my husband. Every person in the world who has sent a military person there is going through that, and I feel like family with them. I know their thoughts and feelings.
This stress makes my illness worse...but its nothing compared to the strong people who are living there! I am learning all of the side affects of war and how it affects people's health in so many ways and how it changes day to day living and thinking. This area of people are a different culture of people than those in the same country surrounding them. They are so secluded they are called "A country within a country". They were very protected, innocent people about violence. Their culture forbids abuse and teaches courtesy in the EXTREME. They call it a tribal law and most people say that tribal law comes even before the Quran. Women have the rights to choose their mate and get divorced and to have careers, unlike most Muslim countries.
It seems ironic (and hard to understand) why the Taliban would bring horror to the most innocent people in that part of the world.
I am looking forward to getting my husband out of there, and we will no longer be doing documents each day that describes each atrocity in detail. We will change our translation work to more every-day documents. We have done our very small duty in helping to protect people from the Taliban. It does feel good to have been able to do something of global importance in this life. I think even prayer has great power and global influence. If that's all a person could do was to pray, it would be doing something that will have global influence.

I went to the Dr. yesterday to find out about my test results for this 2 month long ordeal of attacks that feel worse than labor pains and kidney stones together. She's calling it "renal colic" with suspected very small stones the size of salt grains, suspecting that they are either coming out one after another every few hours and now every few days, or else there is one that is getting into the ureter and causing it to spasm up, then going back into the kidney, then going back into the ureter, in and out, causing repeated attacks. When that tube spasms up it can cause the bowels touching it to also spasm up, and I have so much scar tissue inside, that it pulls and tears on the scar tissue, so that's what is causing the pain that is the first pain to ever make me moan or yell into my pillow.
I asked her today if there was anything I could take during those attacks so I don't have to go to the hospital, something that would work fast. She offered one injectable medicine but I've tried that and it's useless to me.
( I wish she could write a standing order for the paramedics to just come give me a shot at home and leave me there at home, or if they MUST take me in, to have a standing order for IMMEDIATE pain relief, not 3-4 hours later...but they won't do that here.(Standing orders for ER).
She also asked why I didn't go to the hospital during these attacks. I said "Because I didn't want to go out into the freezing cold which makes the pain worse, then lay in the hospital for 3 or 4 hours in that pain that makes me scream, and its embarrassing to take a pillow and scream into the pillow in public, and I can't even speak for myself when I go alone, let alone defend myself, and I have to get up and walk out to the ambulance, which I was not able to do, and the Paramedics comment on my weight and make remarks if my hair is not washed or something. It's a horrible ordeal to deal with when you are screaming in pain and alone."
WHAT A DIFFERENCE TO HAVE A KIND DOCTOR!!--She said that I am probably the strongest and bravest patient she has ever had. She never had a patient with so many severely painful conditions stacked one on top of the other. When I get those attacks, I grit my teeth, which then also causes the trigeminal neuralgia, also unbearable pain.
Well I got some things changed in the ER protocol, maybe I can help get this changed too, to get standing orders for recurring problems.
Good news is that I get to cancel some very uncomfortable tests that were scheduled for the future. I'm glad to learn its nothing serious but I was PRAYING it would be something I could be treated for so I can build up my strength for my husband's return! Oh well, one day/hour at a time!
Thanks to 2 very inspired friends who have already walked the path that I am walking now, I am feeling much more peace and almost no fear about the future with or without my husband. That is a monumental growth for me. Mid march we finally get a court hearing so we can try to get him home SOON! I will be praying for the strength to even travel to the city the court session is in, and get through the 5 hour session. I have not sat up for 5 hours straight for years, I don't think. I'll be trying to make myself as strong as possible in every way for that day and for whatever comes after. I have to wait 3 months to 1 year for the court's decision. Isn't that insane? So I added more paperwork begging the judge for a speedy decision because of the extreme danger he is in and because of the extreme stress I go through with him, which might make me too useless to be a good wife if we wait too long. We'll see what Heavenly Father has planned.

Blending Styles and Intelligences
The following lesson provides many opportunities for students to to access content through reading, writing, listening, speaking, viewing, and visually representing what they are learning. A large number of my students have had great success by manipulating the content through various learning styles, preferences, and modes such as reading, writing, and speaking.
While this lesson involves Native American regions other content such as exploration or the 13 colonies can be easily inserted into the format. The standard this lesson was based on focuses mainly on regional resources and how those resources provided food, shelter, and clothing for tribes such as the Chinook and Haida.
Since my students are nine and ten years old and are experiencing a formally sequenced American History course for the first time I generally begin a new topic by utilizing the textbook. For this particular lesson I started with general statements about the region as well as the tribes students would encounter and presented them as an anticipation guide for students to predict true or false. Laura Robb states in her book Teaching Reading in Middle Schoolthat taking the time to engage students in strategy lessons that prepare them to read a text can develop a strong base of prior knowledge that deepens students' comprehension of books and other texts, which in turn helps them to construct new understanding (2000). Anticipation guides provide opportunities for students to become more attuned to their individual opinions about a variety of issues brought forward during reading and thus, are more apt to make personal connections to those issues as they read (Vacca and Vacca, 2004).
After students had had a chance to share with a partner their responses to the true and false statements we listened to a compact disc recording of the text while students followed along. I stopped the disc following each section of text and students discussed what the text had uncovered. I used questions to check for understanding and pointed out particular text features such as maps and pictures.
After reading the text I asked students to revisit the anticipation guide and review their answers. I encouraged students to volunteer their prior answers and identify answers that needed to be updated based on the text information. Following a short discussion I presented a concept organizing web on the board for students to copy in their notebooks. In the middle of the diagram was the title Northwest American Indians. Three legs extended from the middle circle. One leg was labeled food, another was labeled clothing, and the third leg was labeled shelter.
I asked students to revisit the text and working with their tablemates they should be able to fill in the organizer with the resources discussed in the text and how it was used. I encouraged students to draw sketches, as well, indicating the type of shelter, foods, and clothing the tribes of the Northwest used.
Once I observed students were close to being finished I called time and I asked each group to volunteer information they had found. I completed the diagram on the board per the information students gave me, and asked students to verify the information on their diagrams with the diagram on the board.
The following day I felt students had enough practice with the content to go it alone with various assignments I had structured for students to rotate through. Task rotations allow students with different learning styles to acquire the content and skills in the ways that best meet their needs and strengths as learners (Silver, Strong, and Perini, 2000). Assignments included creating flashcards for the lesson vocabulary including definitions and illustrations, writing an informative paragraph about the Northwest region, analyzing a diagram of two types of tribal canoes from the Northwest region, viewing a Powerpoint presentation I put together showing many images from the Northwest region, and creating a totem pole based on pictures and designs I have collected and maintain in a folder.
Students rotate through the various activities. Some are low maintenance on my part so that I am available for other students as they are involved in more complex tasks such as organizing the canoe diagrams or writing the informative paragraph. Low ability writers are given more support with various modifications such as a paragraph frame.
This type of two-day lesson format is common in my classroom. I attempt to hit various learning styles and preferences as well as include many activities that are based on reading, writing, speaking, listening, viewing, and visually representing content. This type of lesson framework provides a comfortable atmosphere as students complete activities that match their learning styles and preferences while they are also safely prodded to go beyond their comfort zone.
NT learners are given an opportunity to think through the material on their own as they prefer to structure material while they craft their paragraphs (Silver, Strong, and Perini, 2000). ST learners prefer assignments that are logical and useful so they attack the flashcard activity with zeal because they realize they can use the cards to study with (Silver, Strong, and Perini, 2000). SF learners are comfortable because group activities give them social moments. The very content of the lesson gives SF learners information that directly influences the Native American's lives rather than impersonal facts or theories per Silver, Strong, and Perini (2000). NF learners are imaginative and look for new ways to express themselves. What better way to do this than by creating your own totem pole!
This particular lesson provides all sorts of opportunities to satisfy many of the intelligences. Verbal-linguistic students have opportunities to read, write, speak, and listen to content as well as each other. Logical-mathematical students can use their deductive skills while locating and recalling information from the text. Spatial students are satisfied through the diagram activity, the power point, and the creation of the totem pole while Bodily-Kinesthetic students give their hand-eye coordination a workout to make sure the totem pole has the right proportions. The group work provides students an opportunity to experience the interpersonal style by creating the paragraph and the internalization of vocabulary during the creation of the flashcards helps students experience the interpersonal style. The Naturalist style is satisfied through the content which is heavily infused with images and descriptions of the Northwest region. By using a CD of Northwest Indian tribal music or chants I affirm and encourage the music intelligence.
This lesson is one of five that I utilize regarding Native American regions. They are all similar with the exception of the region. The last time I gave my benchmark assessment for the unit which covers all five Native American regions required by state standards 40 out of 50 students earned an 85 or higher on multiple-choice test even though the test is not the best tool for assessment for some students. I believe by including activities that hit upon all learning styles and preferences, by making sure students have opportunities to read, write, speak, listen, view, and visually represent content, and by including research-based reading strategies such as the anticipation guide I am helping all students to succeed.

I read with attention this fine post and I am agree with you. Students needs of stimulus, to participate, to interact, need to hear involved themselves in the intense activities, they needs image, and other things to remember and understand history. Thanks.

I Love this lesson. I would love to integrate stations into my high school classroom, but it always scares me. How limited is your space.

As a 6th grade teacher I find your post very true and so important for teachers to realize!! You include a quote from Laura Robb and I just finished reading her latest book "Differentiating Reading Instruction" which is a comprehensive guide to implementing lessons and strategies similar to the one you have.
Her students' work and conversations made this book come alive -- and it certainly gave me the motivation to end the school year with a burst of teaching energy, which some of us need this time of year ;-)
She also underscores the importance of writing, reading and speaking being so completely intertwined in the learning process.
Hope this book is of interest and helps you as it has me.

Five Videos is an online series "hosted" by Rhizome, in collaboration with FACT, responding to the Liverpool Biennial's theme, The Unexpected Guest. Each week throughout the Liverpool Biennial, a new artist will curate five videos about hospitality. This week, Zach Blas (Queer Technologies) considers escape as radical hospitality:
The art of escape is the art of constructing an indeterminate form of energy from the encounter and interference with a regime of control. The art of control is not to destroy this energy but to transform it to a new form of energy, one amenable to regulation.
—Dimitris Papadopoulos, Niamh Stephenson & Vassilis Tsianos, Escape Routes: Control and Subversion in the 21st Century
Escape figures as a crucial tactic of resistance against neoliberal governance and contemporary forms of oppression. Escape is a multiplicitous gathering of concepts, practices, sensibilities, acts, and affects; these variations on escape have been named exodus, desertion, nonexistence, illegibility, and idealism. Importantly, escape not only expresses a desire to exit current regimes of control but also to cultivate forms of living otherwise, or living autonomously. Escape, I would argue, is about radical hospitality: it is a collective attempt—aesthetic, conceptual, political—to eradicate forms of control, exploitation, and domination, which just might make the world more hospitable to all.
Escape can be a leaving behind or withdrawal, such as various art schools and autonomous universities like The Public School and SOMA. Perhaps these gestures are best described by The Edu-factory Collective as an "Exodus from the Education Factory."
Escape also relates to tactics of imperceptibility and illegibility, focused upon evading informatic capture. Media theorists Alexander Galloway and Eugene Thacker have recently described the current century as an "era of universal standards of identification," referencing technologies that bind identification with locatability, such as biometrics and GPS. "Henceforth," they write, "the lived environment will be divided into identifiable zones and nonidentifiable zones, and nonidentifiables will be the shadowy new 'criminal' classes–those that do not identify." In The Exploit: A Theory of Networks, they hypothesize about nonidentifiable action, suggesting that "future avant-garde practices will be those of nonexistence." Such tactics stress the development of techniques and technologies to make one's self unaccounted for. Anonymous' own social media networking site Anon Plus and artist Sean Dockray's "Facebook Suicide (Bomb) Manifesto" evoke such an imperceptible escape as they strive to depart from social media networks that data-mine, market, police, and surveil.
Escape takes the form of refusals against normative and oppressive logics, calculations, and measurements, often rejecting structures of legitimation and recognition from the state. Consider Against Equality's queer critique of gay marriage, a refutation of the institution of marriage as heteronormative and perpetuator of economic inequality.
If escape is a politics, then it is one that positions itself against forms of political representation. Political theorists Dimitris Papadopoulos, Niamh Stephenson & Vassilis Tsianos state quite clearly that politics must be a refusal of representation. What this suggests is that a politics of escape concerns itself with autonomy and transformation, changing the very conditions of political and social possibility while fleeing neoliberal control.
I have chosen videos that articulate an art of escape in these contexts. While these works might at first seem disparate from each other, they illustrate the broad, coalitional potentiality of escaping. Notably, this is not an exhaustive list of the possibilities for escape today, but these five videos do make visible some contemporary itineraries of escape currently under way...

The gene-based imaging system targets prostate cancers that have become resistant to androgen deprivation therapy, an aggressive form of the disease known as castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Once the hormone treatment is no longer working, the cancer will progress within 12 to 18 months and prognosis becomes grim, said Lily Wu, a professor of molecular and medical pharmacology, a Jonsson Cancer Center researcher and senior author of the study.
"Anytime you can detect cancer earlier, the chances of more effective control of the cancer increase and the outcomes for patients are better," Wu said. "Unfortunately, there is little that can be done to treat castration resistant prostate cancer once it has spread. In our study, we focused on finding ways to image these advanced metastatic prostate cancers accurately. "
The study appeared Sept. 21 in the early online edition of Cancer Research, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
Wu's team focused on using "control switches" of genes that are active only in castration resistant prostate cancer, and linked these molecular switches to a "reporter" gene that can be easily imaged. The specific switch the team used in this study is the prostate specific enhancing sequence (PSES), an androgen-independent promoter in castration resistant prostate cancer that is more specific to that form of malignancy.
The PSES is derived from the prostate-specific antigen and the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PMSA) and is given a boost by the two-step transcriptional amplification system, which drives the expression of the imaging reporter genes, which glow under bioluminescent or positron emission tomography (PET) scanning. The system works well in the androgen-depleted environment and is strongly specific to the prostate, two conditions that are most fitting for castration resistant prostate cancer.
"The engineered system exhibits greatly elevated transcriptional activity, androgen-independency and strong prostate cancer specificity, verified in cell culture and pre-clinical mouse models," said Ziyue Karen Jiang, a senior doctoral student in pharmacology who is supported by a Jonsson Cancer Center fellowship. "These advantageous features of the system elicit superior gene expression capability for castration resistant prostate cancer in comparison to the other systems, which are driven by androgen-dependent promoters."
Based on the favorable features shown in cell culture experiments, the research team expected the PSES-driven imaging system to be discriminating in detecting castration resistant prostate cancer and cancer that has spread to distant organs. The research team was surprised to discover that the PSES imaging system developed was able to accurately detect bony metastasis of prostate cancer that grew in the leg of a mouse while two traditional imaging methods were unable to detect the metastasis.
The researchers tested the performance capacity of the PSES bioluminescent imaging system in mice that had prostate tumor cells implanted in their right knee to establish bony metastasis. After allowing six weeks for the tumor to grow, the PSES imaging reporter vector was injected into the tumor-implanted mice to search for the metastasis. Four days after the injection, the signal from the reporter gene could be clearly seen, correctly identifying the prostate cancer metastasis in the right tibia bone in nine out of nine animals. Concurrent use of PET scans were unable to distinguish between the tumor-bearing right knee and the uninvolved left knee.
The tumor growth rate in this bone metastasis model is not uniform, ranging from no spread to large tumor lesions in the bone marrow cavity. The PSES imaging system correctly identified two out of nine animals in which the tumor did not grow. These results give researchers confidence that the PSES imaging system is functioning correctly in being able to seek out prostate cancer bone metastases in a specific and sensitive manner, Wu said.
"Taken together, this study demonstrated that the promising utility of a potent, androgen-independent and prostate cancer-specific expression system in directing gene-based molecular imaging in castration resistant prostate cancer, even in the context of androgen deprivation therapy," the study states.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer for males in America and its spread to other organs is the major cause of mortality. This year alone, more than 217,000 American men will be diagnosed with the malignancy. Of those, more than 32,000 will die from their disease.
The three-year study was funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation and UCLA's Specialist Program of Research Excellence in Prostate Cancer.
UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has more than 240 researchers and clinicians engaged in disease research, prevention, detection, control, treatment and education. One of the nation's largest comprehensive cancer centers, the Jonsson center is dedicated to promoting research and translating basic science into leading-edge clinical studies. In July 2011, the Jonsson Cancer Center was named among the top 10 cancer centers nationwide by U.S. News & World Report, a ranking it has held for 11 of the last 12 years.

'Hostile' Dallas crowd harasses Nuggets families, friends
DALLAS – In the three games the Nuggets played in Dallas this season prior to Monday night, the team's management has always been in the crowd but had never seen a scene quite like the one in Game 5.
By its end, security was permanently perched by Kenyon Martin's mother, who had beer poured on her during the game. Martin himself, felt compelled to yell into the crowd in defense of his mom during a break in the second quarter. Carmelo Anthony's fiance, La La Vazquez, was fed up to the point where she retaliated with words and by throwing an object before leaving the game altogether in the fourth quarter. Nuggets assistant coach Jamahl Mosley left the bench early in the night to make certain Martin's mother was alright. Obscenities were shouted nearly all night at Martin's girlfriend, Trina. And Nuggets director of team security, Bobby Simmons, scurried back and forth through it all.
Rex Chapman, Nuggets vice president of player personnel, was among the Nuggets' brass who were all severely turned off by if all.
"Short of a game I saw in Belgrade a couple of years ago where they were throwing chairs and setting off flares, it was about as dangerous a venue I've been in," Chapman said. "It's not fair to our players who have to sit there and worry about their families, friends, girlfriends and wives being, for lack of a better term, assaulted, verbally. It was really bad in there."
Chapman did say arena security did what it could to diffuse the situation, but the crowd "was whipped into a frenzy for some reason. It was almost like it was open season on Kenyon's mom, and Melo's wife and Kenyon's girlfriend. It was bad."
Martin was booed loudly as he and Trina walked down a hallway in the American Airways Center after the game. Martin showed the crowd, which was in an arena bar, a middle finger.
Nuggets coach George Karl spoke out against the crowd's behavior.
"I probably would use an uglier word than hostile," said Karl of the scene. "I don't think it was very classy."
It was a sad end to a weird day that started out with Martin vowing to confront Mark Cuban about inflammatory comments the Mavericks owner made to his mom after Game 3. Anthony, in his postgame comments, called for Cuban to apologize. Mavericks president Terdema Ussery, apologized to Martin's mother and other Nuggets families afterward for their problems with the crowd.
Karl, however, didn't want Martin to let the situation get to him.
"I've gone through problems with Kenyon," Karl said. "Kenyon's a man. He doesn't want to discuss his problems with (the media). He wants to discuss his problem with Mark. I would prefer he probably do it in the summertime; that would probably be best served for both of them. Let the emotion go away and then go have dinner."
Cuban, this morning, took Karl's advice. On his blog, blogmaverick.com, Cuban apologized to Martin and his mother, Lydia Moore and said he would be willing to take Martin and his family to dinner in the summer.
"It doesnt matter why I said it," Cuban wrote. "I shouldn't have said anything. Now, the reality is that this has gotten out of hand. … So at this point I would like to apologize to you and your mom KMart for my comment. I should have not said anything and I was wrong. Hopefully you will accept the apology and we can move on.
"When the series comes back to Dallas, your family, and the family of other Nuggets players are welcome to stay in my suite, with my family. Its amazing how tempers mellow when real people talk to each other and realize that its still just a game. If that isn't acceptable, I'm happy to provide a suite, free of charge to them as well and place whatever security is needed to make them feel comfortable."
Cuban also addressed the crowd issue in his blog, saying that "We tried to have enough additional security for them tonight as well, but I know your family and friends didn't feel as comfortable as they should. I apologize for that as well. This arena is my responsibility, we could and should do a better job."

-- Jackson was an unanimous preseason AAC first team pick.
-- Top reserve: 6-1 sr. guard Michael Dixon Jr. (11.3 pts, 2.3 rebs).
-- Hot: Napier is shooting 92 percent (35-for-38) from foul line in last five games. Cold: Kromah has converted 34 percent (13-for-38) from the field in last five games.
-- FedEx Forum (18,400) will host the inaugural AAC tourney in March.
-- The Tigers have won at least 20 wins in 11 straight seasons.
-- UConn is 1-2 in true road games this season, beating Washington and losing to Houston and SMU.
-- Both Memphis coach Josh Pastner and UConn's Kevin Ollie own national championship rings. Pastner earned his prize as a player at Arizona in 1997 and Ollie got his ring as an assistant on the 2011 national title team.
-- The Tigers are tough to beat at FedExForum, posting a 168-19 record there since it opened in 2004.
-- The Huskies are 1-0 versus ranked teams this season, beating then No. 15 Florida, 65-64, on Dec. 2.
-- UConn is a much better 3-point shooting team than Memphis, converting 41.4 percent compared to just 29.3 for the Tigers. The Huskies are ninth in the country in that area.
-- The Tigers are an unselfish team, averaging a league-best 16.6 assists per game.
"We've got three guys last year who had over 100 assists," Pastner said. "Our whole motto is the open man is the go-to-man. … You're only as good as your guards are. We have good guards."
-- Sophomore Shaq Goodwin, a 6-foot-9, 240-pound forward, has been an inside force in recent games for Memphis. He had a career high 23 points and a season-best 11 rebounds in Saturday's win at Temple. It was his second double-double this season.
-- Here's what Pastner said about UConn and Ollie during AAC media day last fall:
"UConn is a legendary program with coach (Jim) Calhoun and what coach Ollie has done, it's just amazing. He's going to be a future Hall of Fame. If I was UConn, I'd sign him to a 25-year deal because when one of those blue blood (coaching jobs) opens up, they're going to come after Kevin Ollie, or the NBA is going to come after Kevin Ollie.
"He's one of the best up and coming coaches in the games."
-- For one of the few times all season, UConn had a balanced attack in Saturday's win over Central Florida.
The Huskies will look to continue to develop their inside game.
"It's very important to have balance, especially in the two games we have coming up," Ollie said. "Memphis and Louisville, they're going to do a great job trying to take care of our first and second options. We want those guys to still be aggressive and attack but we want our shooters to be ready.
"And when you have an inside presence, it makes life a lot easier."
-- It will be a quick turnaround for UConn, which hosts Louisville on Saturday. Louisville also is playing tonight, hosting Houston.

If you find yourself thirsty in downtown Palo Alto, you might wander into the Epiphany Hotel's restaurant, Lure + Till, and order the Peninsula Punch, made with Kappa pisco, lemon juice, pineapple and basil.
You might ask beverage director Carlos Yturria to tell you about Kappa pisco, a Chilean grape brandy he helped Grand Marnier develop a few years ago, and you'll get a passionate earful of the history of the South American alcohol.
"It's not my job to educate people, but I do like a little history," Yturria said.
Pisco was developed by Spanish conquistadors who planted quebranta grapes in Peru and Chile in the 16th century. The liquor eventually made its way to North America, and Duncan Nicol at the Bank Exchange Saloon on Montgomery Street in San Francisco reportedly invented the legendary "pisco punch" by mixing the South American brandy with pineapple, lime juice, sugar, gum arabic and distilled water, to the great delight of thirsty 19th-century San Franciscans.
Talking to Yturria, it becomes clear that he's passionate about cocktails -- the way a chef is about food -- and has put uncommon thought into Lure + Till's cocktail offerings, a rarity in Palo Alto.
Yturria comes to the Peninsula with a wealth of San Francisco bar experience. The South Texas native first started bar-backing when he was 17 years old and moved to San Francisco soon thereafter. In 1999, at age 21, he was working at the Starlight Room in the Sir Francis Drake Hotel; he also worked at Bacar, a wine-driven restaurant that opened in the city in 2000.
He recalls that he didn't know much about alcohol, wine or food at the time -- "Gosh, I'm 21 years old. What do I know?" -- but does remember tasting one wine in particular, a Spanish white from the Basque region called txakolina, that "blew his mind."
"Then all I wanted to do was learn about food and wine," he said. "So I just consumed myself with it."
The next few projects he took on were helping to literally build bars -- he helped build the Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant at the Ferry Building; he cut the marble used to build the bar at Italian restaurant and wine bar A16; he did construction at Michelin-starred Range, which opened in the Mission in 2005.
"From then on it just kind of took off," he said, "but along the way it was just about educating myself as much as I possibly could."
Fast-forward to downtown Palo Alto in 2014, where he ended up after working with the restaurant's chef, Patrick Kelly, at various San Francisco restaurants. He said he was also drawn by the opportunity to shape his own drink program in a burgeoning food-and-drink scene.
"I've been screaming 'Palo Alto' since, like, 2003," he said. "I think a lot of people are on their way here, for sure."
Currently, Lure + Till offers 10 cocktails, all $10 or $12. There's the more traditional, like a rum old-fashioned, and the more inventive, like the Bright Idea, a vivid, fuchsia-colored drink made with mezcal (a smokier tequila made from the slow-roasted hearts of agave plants), a dash of absinthe, fuchsia-colored prickly pear, lemon and agave nectar.
There's also the P.D., short for pink drink, which doesn't give it much credit. The drink mixes Smirnoff vodka with lemon juice and rhubarb that Yturria reduces in Riesling wine and supplements with vanilla bean.
One of the menu's "spirit-on-spirit" drinks is the Steinberg Sting: gin, a French vermouth, Benedictine and orange bitters. It's named after Rob Steinberg, the architect who designed Epiphany Hotel and whose alcohol of choice is gin, Yturria said.
Though the seasonal, thoughtful cocktail menu might be somewhat novel for the Palo Alto scene, Yturria said he's not trying to "reinvent the wheel" and doesn't want the menu to be "super esoteric." He also keeps food in mind, developing each cocktail like an aperitif, with the goal that it won't take away from the taste of the chef's dishes.
Yturria also crafted the restaurant's beer and wine lineup, with a range of regions featured by the glass (California, Spain, Australia, France) and lots of locals on tap, including Palo Alto Brewing's Hoppy Ending pale ale and the classic Bay Area brew Anchor Steam. There are also seven beers by the bottle, from Abita Brewing Light and a Lagunitas IPA to a red ale from Belgium and an oatmeal stout from Boonville's Anderson Valley Brewing.
But don't get attached to any of these libations, because the menus will be constantly changing, Yturria said.
He's already got some spring ingredient-driven drinks in the works, like bourbon mixed with lemon juice and a strawberry-black pepper shrub (pickled strawberries, black pepper and balsamic vinegar).
"We'll do some gin, some cherries, some ginger beer and lime," he mused about another forthcoming drink. "We'll leave (the cherries) in the glass so you can see the fruit float; you can see that it's fresh fruit. Especially with the patio here at Lure + Till -- oh my goodness, it's perfect."
180 Hamilton Ave., Palo Alto

The High Kings - Tell Me lyrics
Tell Me by The High Kings
[Intro: heems]
Rap rap, ahaha
Rap rap, ahaha
Hip-hop rap, ahaha
Rap, yo
I'm a soldier, I'm a mastermind
Flashing in the flashiest fashions that the masters buy
Passersby passing me asking me if they can match this fly
Maybe with a mastercard, ask this guy
[Childish gambino]
I got a rush card, so I gotta stunt hard
Rush limballin' while I'm listenin' to tune yards
Baby put your shoes on, we gon' turn the club out
Dammit I broke my foot again, I might have to sub out
Nostalgia, ultra, you hang with vultures
Nigga we eatin' good like we oprah's roaches
Buenos noches
Buenos dias
Frida khalo, papas fritas
We eatin' good so they think we free masons
I'm about my paper like wb mason
I'm about my paper like a staples or an office max
Never have to off a cap, makin' money off of rap
He went from potential abortion stat
To the cat that pay his mama's mortgage cash
Lookin' fancy in a foreign flash
Chammomele tea that we pour with splash
[Childish gambino]
Yeah, remember frutopia? that sh*t was delicious
But snapple came back around and put 'em out of business
Um, that's a snapple fact, used to eat apple jacks
That's that heems rhyme that I'm usin' for this battle rap
Still got love for you, nothin' like them other dudes
I am fly, you hudson news
Leave mcs with cuts and bruise
Comfortable like huxtables, but f**k eating my vegetables
Yo, how come they don't sell batteries on the train no more?
I guess it's cause the ipod came out
I guess it's cause the ipod came out
Yeah, I'm fresher than samantha, strange man
Aguala catch me up in walhala, I'll holla
I put snapple in vitamin water for two bucks
Pepsi came and bought it, for nothin' like what the f**k?
I'm from national wholesale liquidators
Rock bottom, odd lot and all the haters
Does benihana even sell wontons?
Donald just put me on a bonton
[Childish gambino]
Yes I did man, I goddamn did
I'm five foot ten, I might just win
I'm tryin' not to die like them
Laid out in the street like mr. hooper, nigga
I remember havin' to eat two scoops for dinner
But it's all good, post obama and post ye
Three six got an oscar, it's all okay
Man, I beg your pardon, trayvon martin
Atlanta is my home, but we treated like martians
I used to be a square like a marlboro carton
Like, niggas wasn't callin' me nigga like last week
Only nigga in some liquor brown pants as we speak
Yeah, gambino say it twice, atm machine, nawmean?

Academic OB/GYN
I am a academic Obstetrician/Gynecologist and the creator of the blog and podcast Academic OB/GYN. Academic OB/GYN focuses on communication and education for obstetrician/gynecologists, but is also if interest to many other medical professionals and laypeople. I have created this site to discuss topics of interest to myself with my colleagues and the public. I hope to grow the number of viewers with the site, and eventually monetize the traffic.
My primary audience is physicians specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. My secondary audience is physicians in other specialties, and midlevel providers in my specialty and others. The third audience is interested laypeople.
At present there are no competitive site that addresses this specific audience, though there are many medical blogs that have some cross over with this site. There are several podcasts that cover topics similar to what I cover, though they are not as fully developed as what I am doing.
This blog is potentially the first of a network of blogs that address many if not all fields in medicine. Ideally, the image we create here could serve as a template for the creation of other blog/podcast logos, that while different would be recognizably be connected to this blog.
At present I am looking for a good logo for this project. This logo should be appropriate for business cards, letterhead avatars, and a twitter image. I would like it to be a logo that could be further developed around into a masthead for a revision of my blog. If we are successful creating a logo that works well, I likely would want to work with the winning designer to develop some of these other things.
I am looking for a logo that integrates the title "Academic OB/GYN" with a graphic that is connected to the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology. This logo should work in black and white or in a two-color scheme.
One idea I have is for a brush outline of a uterus that is partially overwritten with the title "Academic OB/GYN" in some sort of text. The script outline would not have to be incredibly detailed, but would have to be immediately recognizable by someone in the field. I feel like the graphic should appear to be more stylized than like a medical diagram , as if the product it represents has some personality and action. I am imagining something that makes substantial use of negative space rather than something that is extremely full of detail.
I am open to other ideas as well. Be creative. Other image themes that also say Obstetrics and Gynecology may also work very well.

- PROYECTO ENERGÉTICO AVENAL (08-AFC-1C) Extensión del Período de Comentarios Públicos hasta el 8 de diciembre 2014 para el Análisis Personal de la Petición de Prórrogar el Inicio de la Construcción de Nueve (9) Meses
On February 21, 2008, Avenal Power Center, LLC (Avenal Power) filed an Application for Certification (AFC) for the Avenal Energy project (Avenal Energy). Avenal Power is seeking Energy Commission approval to construct and operate a 600-megawatt (MW) power plant in the City of Avenal in Kings County under the Energy Commission's standard 12-month power plant licensing process. Avenal Power plans to begin construction in April of 2010, with commercial operation beginning June 1, 2012. The project would be built on 25 acres of a 148-acre site that is just south of the Fresno County line, and about two miles east of Interstate 5. Although the proposed project is within City of Avenal town limits in an area zoned for industrial use, it is located approximately 6 miles from the city's residential and commercial districts. Current land use at the project site is irrigated agriculture, as is the surrounding land use.
The proposed Avenal Energy would be a combined cycle generating plant consisting of two natural gas-fired General Electric 7FA Gas Turbines with Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) and one General Electric Steam Turbine. Natural gas would be provided via a 2.5-mile, 20-inch underground pipeline interconnection to PG&E's natural gas pipeline transmission system at the Kettleman compressor station. The plant would use a dry cooling process to minimize water consumption. The City of Avenal would provide water to the proposed project from the city's water treatment plant adjacent to the site. Groundwater from three local wells would provide a back-up water source to the project via two separate pipelines, totaling less than 1.4-miles. The proposed project would recycle water to the maximum extent possible through the use of a zero liquid discharge system to further minimize water consumption and eliminate waste water discharge. The proposed project would be connected to the PG&E transmission grid via a 6.4-mile single-circuit 230 kV transmission line, traversing agricultural land to the Gates substation in Fresno County.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

Noyes (Noice, NOIS) Jones was born in New York, his parents were Noel Jones born about 1785 supposedly? near Albany, New York and Susannah.
1. Written in Petersburg Court House Records Book.
Their first child appears to be NOYES JONES, my(our) ancestor. Noel, Susannah and Noyes Jones are found in the 1810 census in Peterburg, Rensselaer Co.,NY.
2. Years of research and they are never located again in census. Other family members of that name but the ages and stages of life do not fit, and claimed by other family members.
Noyes marries possibly in Holyoke, Springfield, Mass area according to his Granddaughter Hazel M Gritzner, about 1832 to Susan Madison b 1818 in Mass/Vt area.
3. No proof located yet. It appears they were Baptist at this point.
3. Children all say different areas for her birth and so does she change mind often on census.
They lived near relatives in Petersburgh, Rensselaer Co. Ny until they moved to McHenry Co. Illinois.
At the time, two sons joined the Civil War they were living in Nunda. Other collateral kin of the Jones lived not far from them. After one son killed and the other one seriously injured, had came back from the war and re-enlisted and was mustered out due to health, the family moves to Chickasaw Co. Iowa.

Susi, have you investigated this Mattison family for your Susan - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-16302-93617-89?cc=1784223&wc=13971401ReplyDelete
Probate records or land records for them might be the evidence you need.
Great thought, and not sure if this is a fit or a miss. Several years back I joined the Mattison group in high hopes of clues. We found three potential ladies. Alas they all had different husbands and ended up living somewhere else. But will check this one out and maybe a fit can be found. Thanks so much.ReplyDelete
