Today's Soldiers consistently find themselves involved in full-spectrum operations, such as movement to contact, area defense and support to civil law enforcement. It is more important than ever for Soldiers to have confidence, awareness, initiative and accountability as well as the ability to think through and solve problems.The Fort Meade-based Asymmetric Warfare Group sponsored an Outcome Based Training and Education workshop on March 5 and 6 for training developers, instructors and leaders throughout the Army. The workshop allowed the AWG to explain OBT&E, and helped participants better understand challenges associated with training.The workshop was hosted at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel. Attendees from several Army organizations provided presentations highlighting how they are currently using OBT&E to execute training. Participants discussed how to modify their training, revealing more opportunities for broader application of the OBT&E methodology.OBT&E is an approach to force preparation that merges the benefits of training and education to create critical thinkers along with units fully capable of operating in the complex environment of full-spectrum operations.OBT&E fully embraces the principles found in the newly revised Field Manual 7-0, "Training for Full Spectrum Operations" and the "Army Training Network." Outcomes in OBT&E refer to the total impact on both the individual and the organization. It provides guidance that helps organizations identify and understand the outcome of a training event, good or bad, and adapt the event to achieve a more positive and lasting impact on development of the individual. OBT&E links training, education and self-development by providing individuals with the tools for continuous learning and pursuit of mastery in and out of formal instructional settings.While training continues to be conducted according to established Army standards, OBT&E gives Soldiers the opportunity to understand and master fundamental skills and principles. These fundamentals allow Soldiers to apply knowledge and experience when confronted with unforeseen situations."It's important to bring together the leaders we did so we can all understand how OBT&E is being used in other units and training," said Baker Squadron Command Sgt. Major Michael Cortes. "But we're also identifying the different challenges we all face institutionalizing these concepts throughout the Army." Workshop participants included representatives from the Warrior Training Academy at Fort Lewis, Wash., and Sergeant Major Academy in Fort Bliss, Texas, who learned about the training methods used by the AWG.Participants also included trainers and leaders from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.; the Basic Combat Training Center of Excellence, Fort Jackson, S.C.; and the Henry Caro Noncommissioned Officer Academy, Fort Benning, Ga. All spoke about how they used the OBT&E philosophy in their own courses.Workshop participants also discussed the importance of implementing the OBT&E approach in training. During the past year, for instance, OBT&E has successfully been put into practice in the Combat Application Training Courses conducted at Forts Benning and Jackson by using the venue of marksmanship to focus more on the "why" than on the "how." Support for OBT&E continues to grow throughout the Army as it provides a means to better inculcate Soldiers with an inherent ability to solve unstructured problems, thereby defeating emergent asymmetric threats and adaptive networks.For more information about AWG, visit www.awg.mil.Cicotte is the AWG Interim Public Affairs Officer.

|China has only 78,000 GPs but US companies plan to open community clinics
Foreign medical clinics are expected to serve more people in China as United Family Healthcare (UFH) opened its fourth high-end community clinic in Beijing on Dec 10, with plans to expand nationwide.
"Family practice will be the core competitive power of the new clinics and we will bring the service of general practitioners' in the US to residents in China," said Pan Zhongying, president of the Beijing United Family Hospital, headquarters of UF — China's largest foreign-invested healthcare provider.
China's Ministry of Health started to promote the training of general parishioners, known as GPs, nationwide in 2006. The support of GPs is to encourage more patients to get treatment in residential clinics, relieving the pressure on hospitals.
Statistics from the ministry show that in 2011, the country only has 78,000 GPs. The ministry will train more GPs, with 300,000 to 400,0000 GPs expected to be working in China by 2020, meaning every 10,000 residents will have access to at least two or three GPs. However, low pay and doubts from patients as to the ability of GPs to properly treat them, has discouraged would-be GPs in medical college.
"GP's have a lower, but a still respectable income in the US, about $160,000 annually. Specialists earn double, but the government has policies supporting GPs, including free tuition fees in college if they are willing to work in rural areas," said Andy Wang, chairman of the department of family medicine in Beijing United Family Hospital.
Wang has worked in the hospital for six years and said the hospital's other three clinics, targeting community family practice, witnessed an increase in visits from local Chinese people. UFH will expand the family practice service nationwide. Qingdao, a coastal city in Shandong province, may be the next location for a clinic.

Hello stampin' friends! I was able to eke out a little time to do some stamping yesterday and I was SO thankful for the fabulous sketch that they have over at My Favorite Things Stamps to help me get started! I used the great MFTWSC142 sketch for this card and inked up the super cute NEW Pure Innocence It's a Sign Stamp set.
Here is the great sketch that I used for my card...love the Peek-a-Boo Dots!
I made my card 6X6 from Kraft cardstock and used MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Olive, Night Shift Blue, and Sno Cone. I used Authentique - Loyal 6X6 paper pad...such pretty colours in this paper pad. I used several MFT Die-namics on this card too... my Pierced Circle STAX and Circle STAX Die-namics, the Peek-a-Boo Dots Die-namics, the Solid Bracket Border Die-namics and the Sentiments Strip 2 Die-namics. To embellish, I wrapped some Hemp cord around the card and added a Factory Green Button and added a little light blue bling here in there in the Peek-a-Boo Dots Die-namics panel.
I coloured up this sweet Pure Innocence girl, It's a Sign, with my Copics and paper pieced her out-fit and the sign too...I used a little scrap of black pattern paper from another Authentique paper pad in my stash to make a little chalkboard sign. I then stamped one of the many cute sentiments from the PI It's a Sign set, with MFT Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink pad. I cut the PI It's a Sign girl out and popped her up on the Pierced Circle panel. I used the Sentiment strips Die-namics, cut from MFT Primitive White Heavyweight Card Stock and stamped one of the other sentiments from the PI It's a Sign stamp set with Steel Grey Premium Dye Ink.
Here is the inside...I stamped a shadow image of PI It's a Sign girl on MFT Primitive White Heavyweight Card Stock and used another sentiment from the PI It's a Sign Stamp set. I stamped the sentiment in the sign with MFT Premium Dye Ink in Brick Red and Olive. I made a sentiment panel with the Pierced Circle STAX, Layered Label and the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. I stamped a sentiment from the NEW Pure Innocence Cornucopia on Primitive White Heavyweight Card Stock.
Well, I'm SO thankful YOU could stop by and have a wee peek at the card that I made with the MFTWSC142 sketch featuring the super sweet MFT PI It's a Sign Stamp set and Peek-a-Boo Dots Die-namics.

In the last 7 years, I have lived in four different countries. From those countries, Finland has had the most influence on me. I spent all together 18 months in Tampere and Helsinki and loved every second of my stay abroad. While living in the country, I met amazing people and got to know the Finnish culture. To be honest, the Finns have really gotten to me. I feel more like a Finn sometimes than a German. Maybe that's the reason why I am planning to move back to Helsinki after the summer. It's only an idea for now, but I am looking for jobs. Keep your fingers crossed!
Finland has a wonderful tradition for the first of May. It's called Vappu. It's the celebration of Spring and it is also the day of students and workers. As Finland is a quite dark place during Winter, Vappu is the day to celebrate the transition towards the season with a lot of light, good weather and outdoor times.
All cities are in the hands of the students on May Day and the eve prior to Vappu. In every city the traditions vary a bit, but some main points are similar. Every city has huge festivities with carnivals, picnics and the official ceremony where the students put a hat on one of the main female statutes of the city. It's the sign that the place is in their hands.
Every student wears the white graduation hat from high school and the different faculties wear their colors. Something very special to each faculty are their overalls. Each student owns one in the color of their guild decorated with different badges from events they have participated in.
Vappu is maybe THE event in Finland, followed by the Independence Day and Midsummer. Of course it is a reason to celebrate, to spend time with friends and family, have a picnic, go to sauna and have some (or a lot more) drinks.
I have had the privilege to celebrate Vappu twice in Finland and I am there again this year in my heart! This is for all my friends in Finland
Hyvää Vappua!

One of the major benefits of HIIT (high intensity interval training) is it's efficiency! This type of intense work means there's no need to spend 60, 30 or even 20 minutes doing cardio. This 11-minute HIIT session is short, sweet and sweaty! It's perfect for when you are short on time, as an add-on to another workout or as a staple in your regular weekly rotation (I don't recommend doing it more than 3-4 non-consecutive days per week, though).
Choose between the high or low-impact options for these moves and get ready to work hard to the best of your ability. Remember to always listen to your body and give it your best effort. It will be over before you know it!

Good stuff, quick-hard workout Report
ok i guess but not for me, my legs do not work
I loved it, everyone just needs to do what they can do. I wasn't able to keep up to her, but I moved! Keep them coming! Report
I don't try to match her pace (despite the "Stay w/ me" exhortations), as earlier attempts left me nauseous and faint. Nor do I attempt to go at 100% or maximum effort for the same reasons, but rather listen to my body. Wish she didn't suggest with practice we can all work up to high impact moves--plenty of us have joints that won't ever allow for that. And it's too bad she doesn't remind us to stretch or hydrate. At least I made this work for me for the first time. Report
this was a great workout and i will be doing it again Report
They is a good short workout. Report
I was a challenge, but liked it a lot. Going to do again. Thanks to SP for including it. Report

Khimki Moscow Region defeated Lokomotiv-Kuban Krasnodar on the road, 87-83 (21-24, 22-18, 17-16, 27-25).
Top Scorers
Lokomotiv-Kuban: Dmitry Kulagin (21 + 5 ast), Jerome Randle (16), Jamel McLean (10 + 7 reb)
Khimki: Jordan Mickey (20 + 9 reb), Janis Timma (17 + 5 reb), Alexey Shved (14 + 6 ast), Tony Crocker (10)
The 1st quarter belonged to the home team, but Loko was unable to build a sizable lead: 3-pointers from Janis Timma and Tony Crocker helped keep Khimki close.
In the 2nd quarter, Khimki tightened up defensively, especially on the perimeter, holding Lokomotiv only a single three. Timma, meanwhile, was unstoppable beyond the arc and even Jordan Mickey knocked one down to give the visitors a 43-42 lead at the break.
Needing a response, Lokomotiv went with Vitaly Fridzon and Dmitry Kulagin. The Russian guards combined for 13 straight points to keep Krasnodar in the game. Kulagin even hit a triple at the end of the 3rd quarter to cut the deficit to two, 60-58.
Turning Point
The 4th quarter featured a series of runs. Mickey and Shved led the way for Khimki, while Kulagin, who finished with 12 in the period, never let Loko lose touch.

Lokomotiv trailed by only one possession in the final minute, but gave up two huge offensive rebounds, allowing Jordan Mickey and Janis Timma both to score. Trailing 85-81, the home team still had a chance, but Jerome Randle threw an in-bounds pass away and Khimki was able to close out the victory. The visitors got revenge for a loss earlier this season in Moscow Region and now boast a two-game lead on Krasnodar for 3rd place.
20 – number of Lokomotiv turnovers. Khimki was more careful with the ball, turning it over only nine times. Not surprisingly, Khimki held a 27-11 edge in points off turnovers, which compensated for the visitors' poor three-point shooting.
Lokomotiv-Kuban head coach Bob Donewald: "I want to give credit to the players. They fought to the end. It's tough when you lose your starting point guard at the start of the game. After Khvostov's injury, we tried to use Randle at his position, even though we brought him in for a different role. Ultimately, our plays broke down and he committed some turnovers. But even when we trailed by nine points, we kept fighting and the toughness shown by my team allows us to look to the future with optimism. We'll try to win the rest of our regular season games."
Khimki head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis: "It's always tough to play in Krasnodar. Today we had the lead, but Loko still came back and created problems down the stretch. The plan was to play even for the first two quarters then seize the momentum after halftime. For the most part, it worked. But it was still a tough game."

Nurses Are Being Inundated With Menial Tasks
I'm no economist. In fact, I have never taken any business or accounting classes in my life. But it doesn't take a formal education to get this. We are speeding down the wrong path.
I'm no economist. In fact, I have never taken any business or accounting classes in my life. But it doesn't take a formal education to get this. We are speeding down the wrong path.
Job shadowing is one of the best ways to determine if a career in nursing is the right fit for you. It gives you a chance to spend a day or two on the job to see how nurse goes about his or her daily tasks. You'll be able to see how nurses work with various types of patients and conditions, and experience how a medical team works together.
Last flu season was one of the worst on record and its about to start again. The season runs through fall and winter but usually peaks sometime after December but before February is over. While the peak usually happens within those months, the season can run late and into the springtime, sometimes as late as May, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
They are Gas Lighting us again. The very powerful device industry, along with their Industry Insiders on regulatory boards, compromised here. The payment to NPs and Nurses are a pretty inconsequential part of their business and misleading marketing efforts.
About 5.7 million individuals in the United States are living with Alzheimer's disease, according to the Alzheimer's Association. That figure is expected to grow to 13.9 million, equating to nearly 3.3 percent of the projected population in 2060.
Although compensation is not the primary driving factor for most nurses who enter the profession, here are five ways for RNs who want to know how to make extra money as a nurse.

The numbers game - 2nd Test, Day 1
October 17, 2008
12027 - Tendulkar's run-aggregate in Test cricket. He became first batsman in Test history to go past 12,000 runs. He had earlier broken Brian Lara's [Images] world record of highest run-aggregate in Test cricket.
10041 - Tendulkar's run-aggregate at number 4 in Test matches -- highest by any batsman at any particular position. India's Sunil Gavaskar [Images] is distant second with 8511 runs at number one position.
4132 - Runs added by Tendulkar in partnership with Sourav Ganguly [Images]. They became the sixth pair to aggregate 4,000 runs between them after Greenidge-Haynes (6482), Hayden-Langer (6081), Dravid- Tendulkar (5283), Hayden-Ponting (4677) and Atapattu- Jayasuriya (4533).
88 - The score on which Tendulkar is most likely to be dismissed after passing 50. Today's was the fourth such instance -- second at Mohali; the other one was v England [Images] in 2001-02.
50 - Number of fifties scored by Tendulkar in Test cricket (other than 100s). Only Border (63) and Dravid (53) have scored more fifties in Test cricket, while Steve Waugh has also 50 fifties on his name.
9 - Number of times Tendulkar became the first victim of a bowler in Test cricket. After getting out to Cameron White at Bangalore in the first Test, it was the turn of Peter Siddle to dismiss him at Mohali. Tendulkar now shares the Indian record of getting out to a new bowler on most occasions with Sourav Ganguly. The world record is of ten dismissals jointly held by England's Herbert Sutcliffe and Colin Cowdrey.
4 - Sourav Ganguly became the fourth Indian to aggregate 7,000 Test runs. He is the first left-hander in this exclusive club.

"To your children, your voice, spoken, sung or whispered, will be the most comforting and beautiful music of all, and provide memories that will last well into their adulthoods." - The Peter Yarrow Songbook: Sleepytime SongsThe holiday season often evokes feelings of nostalgia. Memories of childhood permeate our souls. Music and singing played a large part in my life growing up. My mom was and still is organist at our small church. I think I sang my first solo when I was only 4 or 5 years old, and if I remember correctly, it was a Christmas song. When I was in grade school, my mom took lessons on the acoustic guitar. She played for sing-a-longs at the library, at church and during Girl Scout events. We sang mostly folk and traditional songs, and I learned many of them by heart. Those were the days, and I have many happy, fond memories.
The children's music world today is a booming business. The likes of Laurie Berkner, They Might Be Giants and other new artists have brought creativity and fun to the kid's music market. But the traditional folk music that has been around for generations still has a place in the home music collections as well. Peter Yarrow (of the 1960's band Peter, Paul and Mary) has just recently released two story songbooks titled The Peter Yarrow Songbook: Sleepytime Songs and The Peter Yarrow Songbook: Favorite Folk Songs. Following on the heels of his popular, bestselling Puff the Magic Dragon, these new songbooks are full of multi-generational musical gems.
We received a copy of The Peter Yarrow Songbook: Sleepytime Songs courtesy of Sterling Publishing. It is quite impressive and truly a great bargain. A whopper of an illustrated picture book, it includes a corresponding music CD in addition to guitar chord accompaniment diagrams and a section of historical facts about the songs in the back of the book. Twelve lullabies were chosen for the book and the lyrics to each of the songs have been beautifully illustrated by Terry Widener. Many of the illustrations include an image of a sleeping child. The CD is a pure folk recording, with Yarrow and his daughter, Bethany singing accompanied only by two acoustic guitars. Their voices blend wonderfully together in the comforting, lulling melodies. Songs included in both the book and CD are as follows:
All Through the Night • Puff, the Magic Dragon • Ol' Blue • All the Pretty Little Horses • Hush, Little Baby • Kum Ba Ya • The Water Is Wide • Down in the Valley • All My Trials • On Top of Old Smokey • Who's Gonna Shoe Your Pretty Little Foot? • Brahms Lullaby
Looking for a last minute gift for the holidays? Buy this one to share with children, parents, grandparents, or friends. Few products are appropriate for all generations. This is one of the few.

This is great; discovered a song released in August last year, an ode (some might call it a 'paradiddle') to Donald Trump, called 'a terrible shame', by the band from Wales called Christian Fitness.
It has, quite simply, the best lyric of any song I've listened to this week:
"it's a terrible shame that god gave you tha' hair/
he has a wicked sense of humour when he's not killing children"
- a terrible shame—
mcluskyOfTheLeft (@mclusky_FOTL) February 11, 2016
I don't know, it's just exceptionally funny…
Anyway, there ain't no YouTube video, the band being a somewhat 'obscure' side-project offshoot of other things, but there is a streamable audio thing from the band's bandcamp site, should anyone wish to listen to the little funny ode/paradiddle while they re-read this highly engaging and superbly-crafted web-log post that I'm about to press 'Publish' on. Here 'tis:
Crank it, enjoy, while god is not killing children…

text: Nerve Repair Teams Convened to Share Exciting Progress and Plan Next Steps January 26, 2011 A cure for MS means not just stopping and ending the disease but repairing damage and restoring lost function. The Nervous System Repair and Protection Initiative, funded through the National MS Society's Promise: 2010 Campaign, was launched in 2005 to address what was then an underexplored area. This bold initiative involved the largest grants ever offered by the Society and set the stage for translating basic lab discoveries into clinical efforts to restore nerve function in people with MS. The results have been impressive: it jump-started the field, trained scores of promising young investigators, produced over 150 research papers, and leveraged millions of dollars in new funding. These four multinational, interdisciplinary teams met recently in New York City to discuss their accomplishments during the last five years, and to look toward the future. "It's remarkable," said Timothy Coetzee, PhD, Chief Research Officer of the National MS Society. "We launched this initiative to set the stage for clinical trials of neuroprotection in MS, and five years later, we are seeing these studies come to life." Repair and Protection: What they mean During the course of MS, the immune system attacks the brain and spinal cord. Nerve cells have wires, or axons, that allow them to send and receive signals. The axons have a coating on them, which can be likened to insulation on a wire, which nourishes the axons and speeds nerve conduction. That coating is myelin. Myelin is a main target in MS, but axons are also damaged. Damage to axons is probably what causes progressive disability or worsening in people with MS. The focus of "protection" efforts is to stop the destruction of myelin and axons; the focus of "repair" efforts is to restore those tissues. Drs. Peter Calabresi (Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore), Ian D. Duncan (University of Wisconsin, Madison), Charles ffrench-Constant (University of Edinburgh) and Gavin Giovannoni (Queen Mary University of London) and their team members reported on their progress in all three goals of the repair initiative with the ultimate goal of paving the way for clinical trials to protect the nervous system, repair the damage and restore function in people with MS. Read more about the four teams. Goal 1: Develop new disease models to screen repair and protection techniques Team members made great strides in developing new tools to investigate myelin damage and repair. It is now possible to grow nerves and myelin-making cells in lab dishes and explore molecular signals engaged in repair. New treatment strategies cannot be tested without therapeutic targets being discovered and without the development of animal models for testing safety and effectiveness before studies can begin in people. Teams reported numerous exciting developments in this goal area. Key Take-aways: New therapeutic targets have been identified from extensive screens of tissue culture systems and genes and proteins; early tests in rodents promising. There have been exciting pre-clinical breakthroughs in cell-based therapies. A mouse model of secondary-progressive MS is established and being used to test therapeutic candidates. Investigators used the latest in "omics" technology – such as genomics, which screens multiple genes simultaneously – to identify new targets for MS therapies. Drs. Stephen P. J. Fancy, David Rowitch (University of California, San Francisco [UCSF]), Robin J. M. Franklin (Cambridge University, UK) and colleagues conducted high-tech screens to detect the activity of genes, called transcription factors, that control other genes. Among 1,040 transcription factor genes that were active in mice during the process of myelin repair, they pinpointed the "Wnt signaling pathway." Further experiments showed that this pathway may play an important role in the failure of myelin to repair itself in people with MS. Read more about this study. (internal link to Jul 13, 2009 News Story) Drs. Jeffrey K. Huang (Cambridge), ffrench-Constant, Franklin and colleagues created a "transcriptome" – a complete picture of RNA activity during spontaneous myelin repair. RNA, ribonucleic acid, is the chemical that delivers the instructions from a gene to a cell. The results showed high levels of activity for the gene that controls a molecule called retinoid acid receptor-gamma, and further study showed that this molecule that appears to stimulate the brain's natural ability to repair myelin in rodents. Read more about this study. (internal link to Dec 07, 2010 news story) Investigators funded through this initiative have propelled research on cell-based therapies forward, reporting groundbreaking results. Dr. Steven A. Goldman and colleagues (University of Rochester, NY) transplanted human immature myelin-making cells into mice born without myelin, resulting in widespread myelin formation and restoration of neurological deficits. Read more here. (internal link to Jun 05, 2008 news story) Dr. Gianvito Martino and colleagues (San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Italy) transplanted nerve stem cells into models with MS-like disease, stimulating repair and reducing inflammation. (Stem Cells. 2007 Oct;25(10):2583-92) This team is nearing a phase 1 study of this strategy in people with MS. Drs. Siddharthan Chandran (Cambridge), David Baker (Queen Mary) and colleagues studied the "Biozzi" mouse model, and confirmed that this is the model of choice for studying secondary-progressive MS. The model replicates the chronic myelin damage and nerve fiber loss found in later phases of MS, without the inflammation of early disease. This is an invaluable tool for studying the safety and benefits of neuroprotective drugs in progressive MS. (Journal of Neuroimmunology 2008 Sep 15;201-202:200-11) Dr. Duncan and colleagues studied a model where a neurological disease can be induced and resolved through spontaneous repair, restoring neurological function to normal; this model will help to understand the natural mechanisms of repair and how they translate to symptoms experienced by people with MS. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences U S A. 2009 Apr 21;106(16):6832-6) In a truly exciting effort, Dr. Franklin and collaborators showed that cells from young mice could enhance myelin repair in older mice, giving us new information on a possible role of aging in nervous system damage, and new possibilities for inducing repair. (Nature Neuroscience 2008 Sep;11(9):1024-34) Goal 2: Apply advanced MRI and other non-invasive monitoring tools to detect nervous system protection and repair What if a new therapy was developed to protect brain cells from damage and even regenerate new cells to repair damage caused by MS, but there was no way to prove that it works? Developing ways to measure damage and repair was another goal of this initiative, with results ranging from simple tests of function to cutting edge technology. Key Take-aways: A simple, quick eye test, OCT, has been validated as a method of showing nerve fiber damage and health. Novel imaging technologies (DTI, MT) can specifically detect myelin and nerve fiber damage and track it over time. Possible biological marker of disease progression found in spinal fluid. Simple functional tests may correlate with underlying disease activity and hold promise for use in clinical trials. Laura Balcer (University of Pennsylvania), Elliott Frohman (Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas), and Calabresi, Lauren Talman, and colleagues confirmed that optical coherence tomography, or OCT, can measure the health of the nerve fibers in the back of the eye. This simple, quick method can show how much nerve fibers in the eye are damaged. Changes can be observed in people with MS, even if they don't have eye inflammation. (Annals of Neurology 2010 Jun;67(6):749-60) Drs. D.M. Harrison (Johns Hopkins), Calabresi, Daniel Reich (NIH), and colleagues showed that other novel imaging technologies – such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which measures the flow of water particles in tissue, and magnetization transfer, which measures the transfer of energy particles – could specifically detect myelin and nerve fiber damage and track them over time. These methods will be useful in tracking treatment success or failure during clinical trials. (Neurology. 2011 Jan 11;76(2):179-86) Drs. Sharmilee Gnanapavan (Queen Mary) and Giovannoni searched for biomarkers that would indicate tissue damage or repair via a blood or spinal fluid sample. This research has indicated several possibilities, including neurofilament, a threadlike molecule found in nerve cells that can be measured in spinal fluid. Neurofilament levels may be a good indication of whether nerve cells are being damaged, and whether disease is progressing. If validated in further research, measuring neurofilament may prove to be a quick measure of whether potentially neuroprotective drugs are working, enabling faster clinical trials. Drs. Aaron Field, Andrew Alexander (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and colleagues reported on an effort to combine DTI and diffusion spectrum imaging, which enabled them to examine nerve fibers that intersect each other. The team has been able to minimize the imaging time necessary for this hybrid approach and increase its accuracy. (Neuroimage. 2011 Feb 1;54(3):1840-53) Scientists also reported progress in using clinical tests that can assess symptoms simply, but may correlate with underlying disease activity. For example, Drs. Kathleen M. Zackowski, Calabresi (Johns Hopkins) and colleagues showed that "sensorimotor" dysfunction that was picked up by testing vibration sensation and ankle strength correlated with disease activity on advanced MRI technology. (Brain. 2009 May;132(Pt 5):1200-9) Also, Dr. Balcer's research indicates that tests of visual acuity (perception of light gray letters of progressively smaller size on a white background) correlate with OCT and other imaging results. These tests may be quick, simple ways of measuring outcomes in clinical studies. Goal 3: Design human clinical trials of repair and protection therapies. The ultimate goal of this initiative was to lay the groundwork for clinical trials of strategies to protect and repair the nervous system: Mission accomplished. Key Take-aways: Clinical trials are underway, or being planned, to evaluate experimental strategies for nervous system protection and repair. New clinical trial designs and outcome measures are in development to speed up the testing of promising agents. Collaborations are expediting and enhancing the quality of clinical research. Here is a sampling of studies that are underway or planned in collaboration with team members of this initiative: Dr. Chandran has completed A Phase 1 safety study of mesenchymal cells in optic neuritis. Results are nearing publication. Dr. Rowitch is conducting an industry-backed Phase 1 study to study the safety of neural stem cell transplantation in children born with a lack of myelin; this small, early study would also serve as a "proof of principal" for this strategy in MS. Dr. Raj Kapoor (National Hospital for Neurology and. Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London) is launching a Phase 2 study of phenyltoin to determine its effects on neuroprotection in optic neuritis (funded by the National MS Society and the MS Society of Great Britain and Northern Ireland); the study design takes lessons learned from a failed study of lamotrigine in SP MS. (Lancet Neurology 2010 Jul;9(7):681-8) Both these drugs are sodium channel blockers, drugs that enable tiny pores along nerve fibers to improve nerve impulse conduction. Dr. John Zajicek (Peninsula Medical School, Plymouth, UK) and colleagues are expected to report results later this year from a large multicenter study exploring whether cannabis can slow disease progression in 500 people with primary-progressive and secondary-progressive MS. Dr. Reich and colleagues are beginning NIH-funded studies of the antioxidant idebenone for PP MS and the monoclonal antibody rituximab for SP MS; studies will collect much data on these types of MS as well. The initiative also has spawned important progress aimed at enhancing clinical research in this area. Team members are among those involved in a new clinical trials network in the United Kingdom to speed up the translation of neuroprotective therapies for people with progressive MS. And guidelines were established for the design and conduct of clinical trials using cell therapies in MS, in collaboration with some team members and several MS Societies worldwide. The Value of Collaboration Team leaders unanimously agreed that this collaboration has moved the field of repair in MS forward exponentially. "The kind of infrastructure that we've established is helping to move things forward more quickly," said Dr. Calabresi of his team. "We can specialize, much in the way a factory does. No one scientist has to think about all the problems that are necessary to move a target, validate it and then get it into clinical trials." Dr. ffrench-Constant agreed. "Two things we've done have made a huge difference. We've used the internet extensively to keep everybody in contact. Also, we've recruited post docs and graduate students who have spent time in all of the different labs. This increases the amount of collaboration, and secondly, it trains the next generation of the scientists that we need in multiple sclerosis." As the research continues and proceeds towards clinical trials of new MS treatment strategies, team leaders and members were eager to see the momentum continue, and provided several suggestions for further collaborations, including: Hold future nerve repair conferences (investigators have been meeting every two years) Create a shared resource that produces stem cells for all stem cell clinical trials. Develop an initiative comparing the value of different types of imaging technology in monitoring repair. Find creative ways to continue encourage young researchers to enter this field. Dr. Giovannoni emphasized the importance of investigator meetings in particular. "A meeting focused on repair, just by itself, is a catalyst for further innovation. A lot comes out of these meetings in terms of ideas, hypotheses, and exchanges of research." Dr. Duncan concurred. "You hear colleagues present interesting information and you realize that you're quite close; it would just take some kind of joint experiment between the two of you sharing the expertise." Dr. Coetzee noted that the Society is evaluating program outcomes to determine how to sustain the momentum created by these teams. "We are going to continue to move our work forward and share it worldwide in order to continue to speed research to repair the nervous system in MS. The dream is stopping MS in its tracks and of restoring function that has been lost. This is topmost in the hearts and minds of people who have MS, as well as their loved ones."

The Duke House is a small business located in Wellsville, NY at 244 North Main St., at the corner of N. Main and Central Place, directly across from Jones Memorial Hospital. Our venue is a Greek Revival house that was purchased in 2013 by Nancy Meyers from the Duke family estate; it was completely renovated with the idea of creating a small business in this prime location. We opened our doors at the end of November 2015, starting business as The Duke House Tea Room and Bakery. In short order we expanded our menu to include more substantial fare than is normally offered in a tea room; and in Feb. 2016 we added dinner service, and in April 2016 we obtained our liquor license so we could sell wine & beer. We are currently open for regular service 5 days a week. We have quickly become one of the premier fine dining establishments in our region. The Duke House is known for its quiet, calm ambiance; as a place where you can take your time, have a conversation and enjoy a well paced, delicious meal.
It became obvious that "Tea Room and Bakery" was not really descriptive of our establishment. So many people would come in expecting a little place with a few tables where they'd have some tea and scones; they were amazed that we were a full service restaurant in addition to selling tea and baked goods. In early 2017, we transitioned our name, logo, signage and menus to simply "The Duke House", and the heading "Restaurant - Tea Room - Bakery". All 3 parts of the business actually work very well together and enhance the customer experience.
We have expanded our operations to include catering for private parties, both here and at the customer's location. We also do custom baking to order, for pastry platters and custom cakes including birthday, special occasion and wedding cakes. Our tea shop offers 48 kinds of tea, available as dry loose leaf tea or served ready made hot or iced; and we offer a small range of tea accessories including tea pots, filters and tea bags.
The Duke House is a vibrant part of our community, enhancing the quality of life for our residents and visitors. Please walk around our website and also check out our Facebook page and reviews to get a good idea of what we are all about. We will look forward to your visit!
Thanks so much, Miss Nancy and the Dedicated Staff of The Duke House

Okay, I'm pretty quiet lately, at least here. I have a lot to do, mainly get married, which isn't really the big deal that folks have made it out to be. You make a few plans and write checks. It's a fucking party, I can't get up the energy to freak out about it. It's supposed to be fun.
So, I'm googling "hives when I cut the lawn" today - because I keep breaking out in hives through spring and summer, and this comes up. It was help, actually, and comedy for me. I love the comments.
I was already thinking about my Anti-psychiatric tendencies and my general curiosity about how we continue to value etiology over pathology. I guess I don't need to explain that, just understand that it (along with Pareidolia) seems to explain almost everything I find frustrating.
We'd rather "feel things out" than find out for sure. Facts suck. It's why I hate to go to the doctor. I wanna guess, I don't wanna know.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Gets Spooked in New Teaser for Olay's Super Bowl Spot
The ad will run during the first quarter of the game.
Olay's Super Bowl spot is shaping up to be as scary as the initial teasers promised.
A new 30-second teaser of the spot shows actress Sarah Michelle Gellar rubbing on Olay moisturizer as a (very) creepy masked man watches her outside in the rain. In the next shot, she sits on a couch as mysterious noises start to sound from within the house. Ominous words appear on the screen: "It will watch you—and keep watching—until your time is up." Chaos begins to ensue as the intruder gets closer: Gellar and her male companion scream and popcorn goes flying as the two run around the house to hide.
The ad, fittingly called "Killer Skin," marks a rare brand use of horror during the Super Bowl. The unique approach is part of why Gellar—a horror veteran herself, with films like I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream 2 to her name—wanted to be a part of it.
"I thought the concept was really fun and just such a great twist," Gellar told Adweek. "All you ever want to do in your life as an actor is have these moments that people remember. When I read this, I thought, 'Oh my god, this is going to be the kind of commercial that people remember and talk about the next day.'"
The full spot will also be 30 seconds long and will run during the first quarter of the game. Saatchi & Saatchi is handling the creative for the creepy commercial.
One of the primary reasons Olay is advertising during the Super Bowl this year is to help bring more female-focused spots to the Big Game—despite the fact that nearly half of NFL fans are women, only a quarter of advertising during the Super Bowl is targeted towards them.
In addition to its first Super Bowl ad, Olay is also planning on the ground activations, with the help of its "Fearless Squad" members (which include Aly Raisman, Kay Adams and Gellar). These women will be watching the game seated in an Olay-sponsored box in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Acacia Gardens recently helped us to transform our garden with the installation of a beautiful wooden pergola with a York stone path and pebbles plus the digging and planting of some beds. The work was carried out swiftly and to quote and the workers were punctual and polite. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.
It is due to the dedication and quality of your work that we find ourselves in this exciting position. Thames Water believe in us and our ability to provide a quality service and have awarded us the major part of the contract for a further 6 years. Thank you once again for your hard work and dedication: you have been instrumental in this contract re-win success. Keep up the good work and I wish you every success for the forthcoming season. Best regards,
Bupa Stamford Nursing Home – Hedge Reductions. Thank you for reducing the level of the shrubs to all boundaries to approx 5ft to allow for future maintenance and reducing the potential of damage to the boundary fence. All arisings have been removed and the client was really impressed with the works, which were completed from fully trained and qualified operatives.
Dear Herman, Thanks for sending a qualified and hard working team. During the time they have shaped all vegetation to a safe and manageable size, also litter has been removed from site. It looks much better and presentable. Will be happy to suggest your service in the future.
Hi Herman We have enjoyed working with you at every stage and are delighted with your work and are very happy to write a reference for your website etc. Our son will be living in the house from August when he returns from abroad and is very pleased with the photos I have shown him.
I have employed Acacia Gardens on 3 separate occasions, they are extremely professional company, who complete agreed works to a very high standard. They are punctual and have provided sound advice and offered various solutions especially regarding the complete overhaul and landscaping of my back garden. I have recommended Acacia Gardens to others, which is rare for me. I have no hesitation in providing a more detailed reference if needed. Please note I have contracted Acacia Gardens for another challenging landscaping job in October 2014.
I employed the Acacia Gardens to lay turf in my garden. They were very efficient and well organised. I plan to use them for future jobs and have recommended them to friends. The price was reasonable, the work was done on schedule and they came to inspect the lawn several weeks later and did the first mow. I explored three other firms and I think I made the right choice.
Often, we ask for recommendation through StreetLife and don't necessarily hear about the outcome. So I just wanted to say that I met some charming people when searching for gardening firm but opted for Acacia Gardens. I heartly recommend them: punctual, hard-working, thorough attention to meet the brief, left the site spotlessly clean and tidy. All work was undertaken with great charm and good humour. A joy to have around.

Last night I watched a CNN documentary about Islamization of the West called "The War Within" conducted by the renowned Christiana Amanpour. And about two months ago I read a book written by Melanie Phillips titled "Londonstan". And although I think that Christiana did a great job in presenting the different points of view of English Moslems; the radical and the moderate. But I think she was missing a great deal in her report. And it seemed that this very thing puzzled her when she was debating what Islam really says when she questioned the two parties. I think she would have had a better insight if she had at least consulted Phillips before conducting her report. The Islamization in Brittan is a huge threat, not only to Brittan but the whole world. A secular state like England has given refuge to war victims and radicalists for decades. Gave them the taste of freedom and human rights. The very human rights propaganda they are using today to destroy Brittan's secularism and security, as well as the security of the world. Most world terrorists' acts were masterminded in Brittan, they deported terrorists to the USA, Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and the rest of the world. Mosque preachers are ex-Afghan fighters, so what do you expect? Christiana seemed puzzled by the preaching of Islam; does it promote the killing of the young and innocent people or it doesn't? Well surprise, surprise Christina, it does and it doesn't. This is what Islam is based on; contradictions. And since its contradictions are beyond the laypeople like us, you would never have a definite answer, because it is left to man to decide. Even the moderate Moslems who tell you that this killing is not permitted in Islam, down at their hearts they fully know that they are liars, because Jihad is farth. And farth means mandatory in Islamic belief. There is no radicalism in Islam. Islam is the religion of radicalism. The only way England has to save its skin is to teach those barbarians how to live within the secular society and respect its laws. And if they want to apply the shareea, let them go back to their caves and tents where they belong.

The daughter of Michael Jackson has said she is "incredibly offended" by the portrayal of her father in a new Sky Arts drama after a white actor was cast to play him.
Paris Jackson, 18, said images of Joseph Fiennes depicting the late music superstar and Stockard Channing as her godmother, Dame Elizabeth Taylor, made her want to "vomit".
A petition has been signed by more than 20,000 people to boycott the upcoming TV movie, which is part of a series called Urban Myths that starts on January 19.
After images were published online showing Shakespeare In Love star Fiennes as the King of Pop, Jackson wrote on Twitter: "I'm so incredibly offended by it, as I'm sure plenty of people are as well, and it honestly makes me want to vomit.
"It angers me to see how obviously intentional it was for them to be this insulting, not just towards my father, but my godmother Liz as well.
"Where is the respect? They worked through blood sweat and tears for ages to create such profound and remarkable legacies. shameful portrayal."
She added: "He made a point of it plenty of times to express his pride in his roots. He would never have wanted this."
Urban Myths tells a collection of fabled tales including one about Jackson - who died in 2009 aged 50 - taking a road trip from New York to Los Angeles with Dame Elizabeth and Marlon Brando following the September 11 terror attacks.
The petition against the movie, which also stars Brian Cox as The Godfather star Brando, was set up on the website Care 2.
It reads: "It's easy to see why the story would make a compelling film - but it's harder to understand why the actor best known for his role in Shakespeare In Love was the first choice to play one of the world's most iconic black musicians."
The petition describes how Jackson suffered with skin condition vitiligo throughout his life, thereby causing the lightening of his skin.
The author of the petition, Julie Rodriguez, wrote: "This casting is an insult to the very real professional struggles and health issues Jackson dealt with during his lifetime.
"It's bad enough when actors of colour are denied opportunities to play fictional characters of their own ethnicity due to the preferential treatment of white actors.
"But it's absolutely inexcusable for a film to whitewash a movie based on an actual human being, whether his appearance was typical of what we expect a black man to look like or not."
Ben Palmer, who directed four episodes of Urban Myths, has previously defended the casting of Fiennes as Jackson.
He told the Guardian: "We were casting Michael Jackson in 2001 and that obviously is a challenge in terms of the physical resemblance.
"We were really looking for the performance that could unlock the spirit, and we really think Joe Fiennes has done that. He's given a really sweet, nuanced, characterful performance."

Seven Habits of Highly Effective Mold Maintenance Supervisors
A review of what mold repair technicians believe a mold maintenance supervisor should bring to the table.
The first installment of this two-part series (April issue, page 46) dealt with habits that help repair technicians perform their job better and faster. The seven "habits" were collected through an informal poll of tradesmen, managers and supervisors with many years of experience repairing molds at a bench or managing repairs for a variety of companies.
Since mold repair technicians and their supervisors work as a team—most of the time—to keep molds running, it is only fair that actions from the white shirt side of the bench also be considered for effective habits that improve toolroom communication, repair efficiency, mold and personnel performance and morale. With that in mind, this same group was asked what they believe a mold maintenance supervisor should bring to the table, and to provide a short overview of the types (experience, background) of managers they have been associated with during their careers.
Featured Content
As typical, the responses were varied among the young and old managers with each expressing the virtues of college degrees versus experience—and in some cases the unique individual with both.
Two Types of Managers
The responses clearly reveal that those polled come from mostly two differing types of backgrounds. Some are right out of college with book smarts, scientific theories, computer skills and fresh ideas on improving shop efficiencies. On the opposite end—as in baby boomers—many started out in a machine shop early in life and worked their way into a management/maintenance position. Also impacting management styles is of the type of training, manufacturing environment (medical or dog foods bowls) and hard lessons learned from doing the job. But all agreed that the final check is simply—results. Results? Results of what? Mold performance? Missed shipments? Customer returns? Tooling usage? Labor hours? Scrap? The prevailing barometer is different for many shops.
The interesting fact was that the younger, PC savvy managers seemed to strive for data to measure for results—they are just not sure what to measure. The boomers seem to—as a whole—disregard this method and instead base good or bad shop performance on "what hot jobs got fixed this week". "Hot" being the operative word here. Does hot mean unscheduled breakdowns or change-overs? Last-minute schedule changes or molds arriving from another vendor? This is fodder for another article.
Two Schools of Thought
In this poll, there were two prevailing schools of thought concerning the necessary requirements of an effective maintenance supervisor. First, is that a good manager can manage any kind of department—even a maintenance team consisting of grizzled, experienced tradesmen—by being good with people, organized and let the data do your talking.
The other is that it takes someone with years of hands-on bench experience solving mold issues to be effective simply because it takes this kind of knowledge to be able to make accurate, unbiased decisions when managing a fleet of molds.
Seven Daily Habits
Following is a list of seven daily habits to include—the most mentioned, or in some cases, the most vehemently defended. Here they are in order of frequency:
- Promote working communication between repair technicians.
• Many times repair technicians exist only in their own worlds—or bench—oblivious to what someone else is doing or how they do it. Mold experience (tips and techniques) needs to be shared among those performing the job.
- Promote a systemized approach.
• Freelancing repairs leads to inconsistent practices and results. There might be many different ways to disassemble, clean and reassemble a mold, but one technique will work best and should be standardized among technicians.
- Continuously strive for the proper tools and machinery to perform mold repair more efficient and accurately.
• Use your CMMs to cost justify (ROI is the only argument bean counters understand) the necessary tools to clean and repair molds. Simply saying "we need this" won't work in today's lean manufacturing environment.
- Prioritize mold work wisely.
• Don't job-hop your technicians. Pulling a repair tech off one job to hurriedly start another is frustrating, confusing and can lead to mistakes that cause unscheduled mold stops/breakdowns through incorrect mold assembly.
- Run a professional shop.
• Trying to be "one of the boys" complicates the working relationship and can render job assignments suspect. Be a mentor to the younger techs and be conscious of older tech skill "specialties".
- Train your techs.
• Keep your techs and yourself abreast of new technologies that can impact the effectiveness of their skills and job performance. Attend seminars, trade shows and conferences to expose your techs to other methods of work from which your shop can benefit.
- Be an active manager.
• Discuss maintenance plans, talk to processors and do whatever it takes to promote teamwork and knowledge sharing. There is no place for prima donnas in today's toolroom.
These seven habits—and whether young or older, and practiced daily—will bring your team together and allow managers to focus on a larger picture while trusting repair technicians to make smarter, better thought out decisions when operating on the life support systems—that we call molds—of your company.

Prosecutor clears trooper after wreck with wrong-way driver
Prosecutor Marc McCune cleared a Highway Patrol Trooper involved in a deadly crash on I-40.
"After having reviewed the above referenced case file, it is the determination of this office that Arkansas State Police Highway Patrol Trooper Roy Moomey was in no way at fault and ultimately, in no way responsible for the accident or the fatality that occurred as a result of the accident which took place on August 8, 2016," the prosecutor wrote in a letter sent Friday.
Trooper Moomey was involved in the wreck on August 8, 2016. Police said 24-year-old Matthew Choate was going the wrong way on I-40 and was driving while intoxicated. The investigation found Choate was driving about 75 miles per hour.
Police say Tooper Moomey made a split-second decision to divert the car away from traffic by hitting it.
Choate was killed in the crash. Moomey was sent to the hospital and had multiple surgeries. He is now at home recovering.
According to the toxicology report, the only thing found in Choate's system was THC from marijuana.

Despite the fact that a number of teams were playing their first competitive matches of the season, there were no surprises in the First Round of the Premier League Cup.
Crystal Palace were the team which came closest to knocking out higher league opposition, taking Doncaster Rovers Belles all the way to the later stages until goals in the last six minutes from Sophie Hopper and Sarah Owen took the Belles into the last sixteen.
Birmingham City emerged as 4-1 winners over Aston Villa in the Midlands derby match. Villa did take an early lead through Carly Davies but Katy Ward and Dani Bird put the Blues ahead by half time, with Laura Bassett and Bird adding further goals in the second half.
Chelsea opened up their season with a 9-1 victory away to Crewe Alexandra. Sian Larkin, Laura Cooper and Dunia Susi all netted early goals with Casey Stoney and Jess Smith also scoring before half time. Una Harking pulled a goal back from Crewe but further strikes from Danielle Buet (2), Sophie Perry and Eniola Aluko completed the scoring.
Kelly McDougall scored a hat-trick as Everton netted six without reply against Barnet. Emily Westwood weighed in with a double and Rachel Unitt was also on target.
Blackburn Rovers were another side to notch up a large victory, 8-0 against Brighton & Hove Albion. Stacey Daniel led the scoring with a four-goal haul, and there was a goal apiece from Levi Penny, Katie Williams, Katie Anderton and Caroline Dixon.
Watford defeated Manchester City 4-0, thanks to two goals in each half. Lisa Burrows and Ashlee Hincks put them two ahead at half time, before further strikes from Emma Thomas and Helen Lander killed off City's challenge.
Bristol Academy ensured that the long trip home from Newcastle Utd was a happy one after they ran out 3-0 winners. Kerry Bartlett and Gwennan Harries gave Academy a two goal lead by half time and Abbie Britton added a third after the break.
Only one of the matches went all the way to extra time, at Rotherham Utd where visitors Portsmouth eventually won 6-3. Zoe Nash's early goal for Pompey was quickly cancelled out by Suzanne Davies and Katie Hanson put Rotherham ahead on the stroke of half time. Nash levelled matters again after the break and Molly Clark gave Pompey the lead but Davies scored her second to send the match into extra time. Lizzie Laws, Clark and Gemma Hillier all netted in the first period to see Portsmouth book their place in the Second Round.
Colchester Utd won their first ever Premier League Cup tie, 4-2 against Tranmere Rovers. Kate Hooley's early goal was cancelled out by Helen Bass just before the interval, Annabelle Pryce put Tranmere back in front but Bass went on to complete a hat-trick for the U's, Sinead Redford adding the other goal.
Newquay are also through to the last sixteen for the first time but they had to withstand a late scare against Keynsham Town. Leanne Lapham gave Newquay an early lead against her old club with Carly Hopson adding a second, Dawna Dennett and Lisa Hegarty adding further goals before Keynsham fought back in the last fifteen minutes, Andreea Alexandru (2) and Mimi Pavlovic reducing the deficit but Newquay held on to win 4-3.
A seven-goal second half blitz saw West Ham Utd to a 9-0 victory at Reading Royals. Danielle Hoy and Natalie Crinean gave the Hammers a two-goal lead at the break, before Katy Ling scored a second half hat-trick, Crinean went on to complete her treble and Florence Amess weighed in with a brace.
