5 Great Things to Share With Your Neighbors
Sharing is an important concept here at mycoop. Sharing allows you to make connections with new people, reduce waste, save money and foster an exchange of ideas. The concept and practice of a "sharing economy," a system of sharing items and ideas based on collaboration, continues to gain traction. Reading this Economist article or Fast Company article, we can see that the idea of sharing can lead to better and more interesting life. Since we live in a unique time when reciprocity and connecting with others through sharing is simple and easy, we want to give you five suggestions for what and how you can share with people in your building:
How many times have you brought home new curtain rods, only to realize that you don't have a ladder? How long has that framed picture been leaning against the dresser and not hanging on the wall because you haven't gotten around to buying a drill? We've all been in these situations, especially those of us in cities with limited space for keeping big tools around. If you own a tool, be a good neighbor and let others borrow that trusty ladder when they need it. You never know when the guy down the hall who you shared your ladder with will return the favor with his own tools.
Books and Movies
Any bookworm knows how fun it is to exchange books with others, because with an exchange of books comes an exchange of ideas. Telling your neighbor you are reading a particular book means that he or she might have a recommendation for a similar book you'd enjoy. Next thing you know, you borrowed your neighbor's copy and are discussing it on your building page. Same thing goes for movies: the cinephile on the floor above you may have a big movie collection, including a copy of that Oscar winner you've been meaning to watch, and by sharing it you have a new friend to share commentary with, and perhaps even a bowl of popcorn at your next movie night.
Food and Drink
You aren't a beer drinker, but have a couple cases left after a big Super Bowl party. You're on a diet, but still have too much candy from Halloween. Share what you have too much of! Sharing the beer might find you a new neighbor and friend to watch games with, and the candy might lead to a playdate with your kids and the family's kids down the hall. Or, if you have a lot of extra food to give away, look in the marketplace or post on your building page for a charity that will make good use of all that extra food.
Volunteer Opportunities
If you're passionate about a cause or know of a great way to give back to the community, share it with your neighbors. Lots of people want to give back but don't have an awareness of the opportunities that exist. By posting specific opportunities, or, for example, organizing a building clothing drive so you can share what you have with the less fortunate, you can create a situation where you help others and feel more fulfilled, while also getting to know your neighbors.
Everyone has something unique to offer. If you have a skill, share it! Perhaps in exchange for guitar lessons, your neighbor will do your taxes. If you host a building knitting class, one of the attendees can teach your kids piano. You never know what talents and skills your neighbors possess: take advantage of the treasure trove of knowledge and talent that surrounds you in your building alone, and share with each other.
There are many other ways to SHARE with your neighbors, and we encourage you share your own ideas. We look forward to seeing the new connections and collaborations that will be made on our mycoop maketplace, our new feature created to foster sharing and collaboration in your building.

Welcome to Age UK's new blog for everyone interested in later life and our ageing society. Age UK experts will be writing on age-related topics across politics, public policy, service delivery, research, campaigning and international affairs.
Over the next week or so, our main focus will be Wednesday's Spending Review announcement (no surprise there). We'll be blogging live while the Chancellor is speaking and providing more detailed analysis in the hours and days that follow. But in my first post, I want to step back from the nitty gritty of spending cuts and policy programmes.
Spending Reviews should be a moment for governments to ask themselves big, long-term questions. So what are the key long-term challenges we face as an ageing society, to which the Government should be responding? In our submission to the Spending Review we picked 12:
- Creating a savings and pension culture, to deliver good pension provision for everyone currently in working life
- Extending working lives to achieve sustainable national and personal finances as life expectancy rises
- Preventing longer periods of illness in later life, through the promotion of healthy lifestyles, the rollout of recent innovation in health and care, and sustained Research and Development.
- Reducing levels of inequality within each age cohort and moving towards the progressive eradication of pensioner poverty
- Delivering care and support which provides autonomy, security and dignity to frail older people and their families
- Fundamentally changing attitudes to later life and ageing
- Building communities that can tackle severe isolation and exclusion towards the end of life
- 'Age proofing' services and environments so they meet the needs and aspirations of every age group, including reform of the NHS to meet the needs of late old age
- Engaging people in later life with successive waves of new technology
- Re-imagining and re-designing every stage of life in the knowledge of very long life expectancies – ie, how we combine education, work, leisure and retirement across our lives
- Supporting strong families and intergenerational ties at a time of huge social change: growing ethnic and cultural diversity, increased family breakdown, and growing domestic and international mobility
- Planning for sustainable growth in the share of GDP spent on age-related social security and public services and the long-term fiscal implications
Now, there's nothing like a list to kick off discussion, and we'd love to hear your thoughts. Are these that issues that will really matter over the next decade or so, if we're going to improve later life in the UK? Have we missed something? Which matter most? And how on earth should politicians, public servants, businesses, charities and individuals set about responding?
Tell us what you think.

Last week was the first week of the marathon specific phase of my training for the First Light Marathon. I did a 9 week fundamental phase and I have a 10 week specific phase (including the taper weeks). Also, I am pacing a marathon in just 4 short weeks (gulp … cue minor freak out).
Monday AM – Easy: 8 miles (8:11 pace) + PM – Easy: 5 miles (8:12 pace)
The hubs and I got in a solid 8 miles Monday morning. The temperature was nice and it was SO MUCH brighter out! We both felt good and our easy pace was a little quicker than what it has been here recently, which was nice to see. I hope that means that my fitness is actually improving. I never want to force an "easy" pace, but it's really nice when it happens naturally.
We did our first "dark" evening run after work Monday evening and boy was I decked out in reflective gear. For whatever reason, I don't usually wear reflective gear in the mornings when we run, but when we run in the evenings, I want all the lights. I'm usually not a fan of the time change, but I gotta admit, I'm kind of digging it this year. I used to feel guilty for wanting to go to bed before it was dark, but now … I've got nothing to feel bad about! It's 7 p.m.? Yes. It's dark? Yes. It's perfectly acceptable to go to bed? In my opinion … Yes!
Tuesday AM – Easy: 5 miles (8:50 pace) + PM – Easy: GOTR Practice 5K
We did a an easy loop Tuesday morning. I had lots of last-minute things to get together for the Girls on the Run Practice 5K that afternoon. The girls did great and I really think they had fun. We tried to make it a big deal for them with signs, music, medals, treats, etc. Several of them didn't think they would be able to complete the distance, but they did and that was so cool to see!
Wednesday AM – Tempo: 12.75 miles (7:12 pace) + PM – Easy: 3 miles (8:56 pace)
Wednesday morning my training plan called for 3 X 3 mile repeats at aerobic threshold pace with a 3:00 jog recovery in between sets. You know things are getting real when you see a 3 X 3 mile workout appear on the schedule. Holy Moses. That's a long workout! I've done this workout at least once before, but this was actually my first time doing it outside, as opposed to on the treadmill. I actually used to do 75% or more of my workouts on the treadmill. While it is certainly a great tool to use, I think that doing my workouts on the roads (or track in this case) has been much better.
I hit the track fairly early (definitely earlier than normal since this was such a long workout). I did a mile and a half warm up and then it was time to get going. My goal pace range for the repeats was 6:35 to 6:45 with a slight negative split. My actual paces were 6:45, 6:45, 6:50 (6:46 avg), 6:49, 6:41, 6:44 (6:44 avg), and 6:35, 6:39, 6:31 (6:35 avg). I was very happy with how this one went. It was a confidence building workout for sure! I had to stay engaged mentally and really focus on the mile I was in and I think this was great mental practice for the marathon. It's really easy to let your mind wander and think about how many miles or laps you have left, which can be totally overwhelming at times. It's always best to stay focused and take things one mile (or one lap) at a time.
My husband wanted to run Wednesday evening and I thought it might be nice to shake my legs out with an easy run, but no. Definitely not. My legs were having no part of it. I let him finish the loop on his own and I called it a day at 3 miles.
Thursday – Easy: 8 miles (8:53 pace)
I ran a loop with the hubs and headed back out for 3 more miles after the loop. Have I mentioned how much I am enjoying the extra light in the mornings?! Yep. Just wanted to make sure.
Friday – Easy: 9 miles (8:35 pace)
I got to listen to Lindsey Hein's interview with Allie Kieffer (5th place finisher at NYC) on my run Friday morning. I found Allie's outlook on life and training to be very inspiring. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode!
Saturday – Easy: 6 miles (8:57 pace)
I met friends for a run + coffee + breakfast Saturday morning (those are the best runs!). I had a race Sunday, so I wanted to keep the effort easy on Saturday.
Sunday – Race: 1.5 mi. WU, 12K race (6:21 pace), 3.5 mi. CD
Sunday morning I ran a 12K (not a typo). I've not heard of many 12K races, but this is my second year running this one. It's 7.45 miles and is a fun little distance to race!
I knew from last year that the first mile had a nice little downhill start. I had to hold myself back during the first mile. The pace felt effortless, but we were running downhill and we had 6.5 more miles to go! My first mile split was 6:22, which was pretty much right where I wanted to settle in. Unfortunately, I didn't ever settle in next to anyone (I am the queen of getting stuck in no man's land during races). I turned my watch over on my wrist so that I wouldn't look at it, except for the mile splits. I really wanted to just focus on running by feel and get more in tune with what that felt like. My go to mantra for this race was "run the plan." I repeated it to myself several times and tried to really stay focused on what I was doing.
Miles 2 through 5 were fairly uneventful, as I was running totally alone. There aren't a lot of spectators along the course, but you run across the bay, so there is plenty of scenery to take in. We had to go over a few small bridges, but the good news was that we also got to go back down the other side of each incline, which made it nice. My watch shows 6:25, 6:26, 6:25, and 6:23 for those 4 miles.
Once we passed mile 5, I picked the pace up a little bit. I was actually catching up to the third place runner at this point as well, so my goal became trying to steadily reel him in. I ran mile 6 in 6:12 and caught up to him! He stayed with me for perhaps a quarter of a mile and then I went on ahead. My 7th mile was 6:16. At mile 7 we turned into Battleship Park and there were volunteers at the last water stop handing out American flags for us to run in with. I almost missed getting a flag last year, just because I wasn't expecting them to be passing out flags, but this year I knew what to expect and I was more than ready to get my flag and run it on in.
I finished with a time of 47:17 (6:21 average) for 1st female and 3rd overall. I am very pleased with the effort and execution on this one! Participating in a patriotic event on Veterans Day weekend is a wonderful reminder of just how much we have to be thankful for. There are so many men and women that sacrifice their lives to protect our freedom, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.
Total – 72.8 miles

Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management Science and Engineering
The Center for Work, Technology and Organization is part of the Organization, Technology and Entrepreneurship specialization area in the Department of Management Science and Engineering. The PhD degree in MS&E requires the fulfillment of certain disciplinary course requirements, as well as qualifying exams and a dissertation defense. Typically students take about four to five years after entering the program to complete all PhD requirements.
Required Coursework
WTO doctoral students not only take courses in MS&E but have full access to Stanford's entire organization studies community, which is one of the largest in the country. The PhD requires a minimum of 135 course units. Students with masters degrees can transfer in 45 credits from their previous program toward this total.
1. Breadth Requirements
Doctoral students are required to take four courses spanning four out of the eight areas of specialization within the department listed below. This may include one in WTO's area of specialization: Organization, Technology and Entrepreneurship.
- Systems modeling and optimization
- Probability and stochastic systems
- Information science and technology
- Economics and finance
- Decision analysis and risk analysis
- Production and operations management
- Organization, technology and entrepreneurship
- Policy and strategy
2. Depth Requirements
WTO students must also acquire a depth of proficiency in their area of specialization. Required courses include:
a. Foundation in organizational Behavior
MS&E 380: Doctoral Research Seminar in organizations
MS&E 38x/37x: other doctoral Seminars in organizations
Psych 212: Social Psychology
Soc 363A: Seminar in organizational Theory
b. Statistics and Research Methods
PHD students in organizational behavior must take 3 research methodology courses, two of which must be statistics.
c. Disciplinary Depth
PhD students are required to take a minimum of 2 advanced-content courses chosen with input from their advisor.
Qualification Process
At the end of the second year, the faculty assess your potential for continuing on in the program by your completion of a research paper and success on an take-home essay exam.
Second Year Paper
After taking two years of coursework (a.k.a. by the end of the second year), PhD students will complete a "second-year paper" displaying both a literature review and some original analysis in organizational studies. This research paper is often spawned from involvement in WTO-sponsored research and is supervised by the primary faculty advisor. Some students choose to use their second year paper as the beginnings of their dissertation.
Qualification Exam ("Quals")
WTO qualification exams occur over a four-day period in May of the second year. They take the form of a written, comprehensive set of essays that are meant to assess a student's command of the literature in the field as well as his or her ability to use it persuasively. Typically preparation for the exams is a collective effort on the part of the entire cohort.
Typically students propose at the end of their third year, spend the fourth year gathering data and the fifth year writing up their dissertation.
Dissertation Proposal
PhD students are required to complete and present a dissertation proposal by December 1 of their 4th year. Students also pick their reading committees at this time. Committees consist of three to four members and can include faculty from other Stanford departments.
Dissertation Defense
WTO students defend their dissertations in the fifth year. The defense consists of a 45 minute public presentation, a closed-session of questions, and final deliberation by the committee. An outside Orals Chair adjudicates the defense proceedings.

12 for 12 Olympic campaign gets off to a great start as Lennon-Ford posts Olympic A standard
A number of Birchfield's 12 for 12 athletes, sponsored by AGA Rangemaster, have started their campaign to be part of Team GB at the 2012 Olympics. At the recent Loughborough International, the performance of the day came from Eden Francis in the shot where she threw a personal best of 17.24m. Tom Parsons and Louise Hazel had solid performances in the high jump and 100m hurdles, both winning their events in season best performances. Tom cleared 2.25m to win the competition and Louise posted a time of 13.57 in winning the hurdles race.
Other Birchfield athletes were also in action at this high quality meeting, most notably Dannish Walker-Khan who won the 200m in a new pb of 21.07 secs. Jarryd Dunn was 2nd in the 400m as was Joel Fearon in the 100m A race, his first race following injury. The U20 hurdles race saw Jake Porter in 2nd and Madeline Smith running another pb of 14.38 which puts her 6th in the UK rankings.
In the field events Scott Rider was first in the shot and Ryan Spencer-Jones was 3rd and there were 2 podium places in the women's triple jump with Laura Samuel in 2nd and Sinead Gutzmore in 3rd and finally Sally Peake who won the pole vault.
Luke Lennon-Ford, one of Birchfield's 12 for 12 sponsored by AGA, ran the Olympic A standard in the 400m in Geneva on 2 June. Luke, originally from Erdington is now based in London with his coach Linford Christe. His new personal best time of 45.23 puts him third on the Power of 10 rankings and means he will go into the Olympic trials contesting for an individual place in the 400m as well as a place in the 4 x 400m relay squad.

In qualified and experienced hands hypnosis can be an extremely powerful tool, resulting in fast and permanent change. It should not be used for entertainment purposes, nor used lightly, as overuse can cause problems.
It is not the hypnosis that is the magic, but rather the therapy that enables the rapid change. Just because a stage hypnotist does amusing and seemingly impossible things it does not follow that they have any therapeutic training at all.
Q. Can anybody be hypnotised?
A. Almost anybody – the exceptions are those with severe learning difficulties or those suffering from dementia, very young children (under about five), or anybody under the influence of large amounts of alcohol.
Q. How do you hypnotise somebody?
A. It varies with each person, but part of it is about getting you to focus your attention on something. There is no special way of speaking, no 'incantations' or magical words, and the accent is quite often on producing a very relaxed state of mind, although relaxation is not necessary. Mostly, the client will close their eyes fairly soon into the induction, but an individual can quite easily be hypnotised with their eyes open. After hypnosis is induced a deepener might be used to deepen the state. Getting wrapped up in how it works can detract from the usefulness of the experience itself. There are many ways of being hypnotised; we merely have to find out which one suits you.
Q. Is it good for performance enhancement?
A. Hypnosis, with the right sort of therapeutic work, is helpful for performance enhancement of all types! Here are just a few of the things with which it can make profound improvement:
• Sporting performance
• Career matters
• Memory and Concentration
• Stage performance
• Study
• Exams and tests
• Presentation/speaking skills
Q. Is there anybody who should not be hypnotised?
A. To a large extent, it depends on the sort of therapy being employed. Some say that anybody suffering from epilepsy should never be hypnotised, but I have never heard of an epileptic seizure being triggered by hypnosis. Where psychotic individuals are concerned, care needs to be exercised and regression/analytical therapy should most definitely not be employed. Hypnotising people too often in a short space of time may also not be helpful for some people, but an experienced and qualified hypnotist will be aware of this.
Q. How does it work?
A. Although there has been much speculation and theory over the years, all that is truly known about the phenomenon of hypnosis is that it allows the conscious critical faculty to be bypassed, allowing a 'gateway' to the unconscious mind. The conscious mind can then be allowed to wander where it wishes whilst the skilled therapist talks to the unconscious mind.
Q. What does it feel like to be hypnotised?
A. Actually, it doesn't. For the vast majority of people there is actually no such thing as a 'hypnotised feeling' – the majority of people would insist afterwards that they had not 'gone under'. After a few sessions, though, most people start to become aware of how the state feels to them. It may be that they feel excessively heavy or light. Their arms and legs may feel rigid, as if they have been moved into a different position, or even absent. They can sometimes feel other strange phenomena too – sensations of floating, whirling and/or spinning are not unusual, or of some part of the body being distorted in some way or as if they have become very small/big. Most people suffer some form of time distortion so that after the session there is a feeling that it was much shorter than it actually was.
Q. Can you make anybody do things they don't want to?
A. Flying in the face of the perceived wisdom amongst many of my colleagues, my answer is "Yes, I'm sure we can", but there is considerable conjecture about this. It is often said that hypnosis cannot breach the moral code, but of course, we cannot truly know what another person's moral code really is. People will frequently do things they would not normally do, though this does not mean it is something they do not want to do. Hypnosis lowers inhibition, so it could be just something that the individual was too inhibited to do in the normal way, even though he/she was not averse to it.
Q. Can it be used to control people?
A. See above answer.
Q. Can you get 'stuck' in hypnosis?
A. No, you definitely cannot! If you were hypnotised and the hypnotist just walked away and left you, you would simply bring yourself out of the state whenever you wanted to.
Q. Is it dangerous in any way?
A. Not at all, in the hands of a properly trained and qualified hypnotherapist.
Q. How does hypnotherapy differ from stage hypnosis?
A. The hypnosis is similar, though many believe it is not. But it is the 'therapy' part that is different – the stage hypnotist's mission is to entertain others. The hypnotherapist's objective is to make life better for their patient. The stage hypnotist has an audience of willing participants, many of whom are probably very keen to go on stage and join in. It is my personal belief that it is ethically wrong to use hypnosis as a means of entertainment.
Q. What's the difference between hypnotherapy and psychotherapy?
A. I look at it this way – Hypnotherapy is a 'branch' of psychotherapy, and all hypnotherapy is therefore a type of psychotherapy. Usually, psychotherapy makes changes to the unconscious by using the understanding and imagery of the conscious mind. Hypnotherapy attempts to bypass the conscious mind to a large extent, working directly with the unconscious. For this reason, hypnotherapy is often quicker. But it's 'horses for courses' – there are some clients who will respond better to psychotherapy alone, and, for them, this would probably be a better form of treatment. I do both, but hypnosis is a tool I often use within the psychotherapeutic process.
Q. How long does a 'cure' produced by hypnosis actually last?
A. It depends on how much unconscious change was brought about in the first place. If a change has been made to a flawed fundamental belief system, then the cure will be permanent and last for a life-time. If only superficial changes have been made, then it might be only a few days or weeks. This is why direct suggestion therapy sometimes fails miserably. The best therapy is where an underlying cause has been resolved before any suggestion work is carried out at all.
Q. Is it successful with real phobias?
A. Usually immensely so, if the right sort of therapy is employed. I use a very effective method known as the 'rewind technique' and I've helped people who have had extreme phobias and trauma for many years to quickly and easily overcome that phobia.
Q. Does it always work?
A. No, no more than any other form of medicine, complimentary OR orthodox. A responsible therapist will soon detect when it is not going to work, and will help the patient to find the help they need elsewhere. Another hypnotherapist might produce the desired result where the first one could not, because of the different rapport.
Q. How long does it take to produce a result?
A. It depends on far too many factors to make a 'one size fits all' statement. It can be as few as one session for a simple problem, to as many as… well, that depends on the ethics and skills of the therapist involved. A responsible, properly trained, therapist will not keep a client in therapy longer than necessary.
Q. Do you really go into a trance? If so, how deep? Are you in any way unconscious?
A. No, you're not unconscious or asleep, and 'yes, you do go into a trance, although everybody may have a different perception of exactly what a trance means to them. The depth of trance varies from one individual to another and it is often considered to be relatively unimportant from a therapy point of view.
Q. Can somebody's mind be too strong?
A. No. The stronger the mind the better the ability to focus and concentrate, which makes the hypnotised state easier to achieve. The statement 'My mind is too strong to be hypnotised' is usually based on fear, and the individuals who say this are often the best subjects of all. It is not difficult to resist being hypnotised and needs no specific strength of mind at all.
Q. Where can I find out more?
A. There is much information available on this site and throughout the Internet. A search on any search engine with the key words hypnosis, hypnotherapy, hypnotism, etc. will give you enough reading material to keep you busy for weeks. Much of it, however, is of poor quality; the links on this site point to some useful pages.
Q. I've heard about biofeedback meters. What are they are and what do they do?
A. A biofeedback meter is a way of keeping an eye on the internal states of an individual – anxiety, for instance – that we may not otherwise be aware of. The modern biofeedback meters have an electronic display and operate via lightweight electrodes connected to two adjacent finger tips. There is little or no awareness of these after a few minutes. You can use it on yourself, to measure your own ability to relax, or on a patient to monitor their levels of relaxation during the hypnotic induction, as well as their stress levels during regression work. These meters work on the same principle as a lie detector, by measuring the activity of the central nervous system. I rarely use one.
Q. Can you hypnotise someone without them knowing it?
A. You can, if you have the skills to do so. The use of 'hypnotic language patterns' and pacing and leading body language will do it. Hypnosis merely overcomes inhibition and the 'conscious critical faculty' – the part of our thought processes which tends to limit our behaviour or belief system.
Q. What ethical, legal and moral issues are involved in the use of hypnosis?
A. From a professional point of view, hypnosis should be used ONLY for the benefit of patients and clients – and not for any other reason at all. That pretty much sums up the basis of most codes of ethics.
Q. What exactly is 'Past Life Regression'?
A. Theoretically, a look back to a lifetime experienced earlier in history – this can be thousands of years earlier, or maybe only a short while ago. It is claimed that there is a therapeutic value in such experiences, in that they may account for certain psychological difficulties in current life. Numerous attempts have been made to prove the validity of PLRs, but this has never been achieved – there has always been the possibility of the experience being nothing more than the recall of a long-forgotten memory from childhood in THIS life or a past dream. Many experimenters are at pains to point out that they DO NOT CLAIM that a PLR is evidence of a previous existence for the individual concerned, only an awareness of a set of circumstances that occurred before that individual was born. It is not something in which I become involved at all.
Q. Can hypnosis be used to create/trigger dreams?
A. Sometimes, though this tends to be somewhat unreliable. There has been much experimentation with the use of hypnosis to create 'lucid dream states' in which the dreamer knows s/he is dreaming and has control or influence over the direction of the dream, but there has been no conclusive evidence that it works. It can often be used to good effect in overcoming the 'night terrors'.

Tempus, the database and knowledge discovery firm founded by Eric Lefkofsky, has recently announced that it will be entering into a major deal with CancerLinQ, one of the largest collators of cancer-related data in the world. This is a major step forward in the development of the Tempus platform, which has only been in development since the end of 2016.
CancerLinQ is a non-profit organization that is a subsidiary of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the largest organization of oncologists in the world. The incredible thing about the deal is that it will combine the immense power of Tempus' analytic capabilities with the vast reams of data collected over the years within the CancerLinQ system.
This marriage of powerful, machine-learning-based analysis with one of the greatest troves of cancer-related data currently in existence will mark the opening of a new frontier in the fight against cancer. Lefkofsky has said that it is only a matter of time until platforms like Tempus, which are able to harness data from sources as disparate as patient records and human genomic sequencing, will be able to give oncologists a granularity of understanding that will make current treatment protocols look as primitive as a horse-drawn carriage.
Lefkofsky has said that one of the biggest problems with the current treatment protocols, most of which are based heavily on the pillars of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation, is the raw crudity with which they are applied. Lefkofsky says that the distributions of patient outcomes are currently far too wide for cancer treatment regimens. For example, a given chemotherapeutic treatment regimen may see survival rates ranging from a couple of weeks all the way up to ten years, and this is even after having been controlled for staging and known patient risk factors.
Survival distributions encompassing such a wide spectrum of outcomes tend to be the rule in cancer treatment rather than the exception. This high amount of variance is not indicative of a field that has been thoroughly mastered by medical science. On the contrary, it illustrates a profound lack of understanding on the part of the oncology profession as to what factors are truly important in the goal of maximizing survival rates.
Lefkofsky points out that such wide distributions of patient outcomes are not accepted in other areas of medicine. For example, diseases like tuberculosis were once deadly for a large number of people. Some people died almost immediately after being diagnosed with the disease, whereas others were able to live for decades with it. Today, Tuberculosis is considered almost 100 percent curable in patients with normal immune systems, with the distribution of patient outcomes heavily skewed towards almost universal 10-year survival.
The almost total success of modern tuberculosis treatments are a function of increased understanding that has resulted from more than a century of major advances in the disease's treatment.
Like the progression of tuberculosis treatment, Lefkofsky believes that the revolution currently taking place in the analysis of cancer and genomic data will eventually lead to cancer becoming a far more survivable disease. He points to various forms of cancer today that have high survival rates, as well as rare individuals who are able to beat even the deadliest forms of cancer. Lefkofsky states that the main reason the distribution of patient outcomes is so wide for many forms of cancer is because oncologists simply don't understand the underlying factors that may allow one patient to beat a given cancer type with simple chemotherapy while the same disease utterly consumes another patient. Tempus' partnership with CancerLinQ will go a long ways towards providing the granular understanding of patient characteristics that will someday lead to far more accurate and effective treatments being devised.

Real Estate is a people business, and service to people is the philosophy upon which Frank T. Hurley Associates, Inc. was founded in 1948.
Home Buying is usually the biggest investment most people make during a lifetime. Without people who care, it can be an over-whelming experience.
Our associates are special real estate professionals with a sense of responsibility. they use their experience and knowledge of real estate, together with their interpersonal skills and training in the latest technologies, to coordinate the mutual desires of home buyers and sellers, landlords and renters.
Membership in the St. Petersburg Suncoast Association of Realtors' multiple listing service (MLS) keeps associates informed of properties for sale throughout the beaches as well as metropolitan St. Petersburg. Hurley Associates, incidentally, was a charter member of the area's first MLS system.
Associates, moreover, have access to the latest trends and demands of the real estate market through membership in the Florida Association of Realtors, National Association of Realtors, Florida Chamber of Commerce, Gulf Beaches of Tampa Bay Chamber of Commerce and through wide participation in community affairs. Taking an active role in community affairs, local and country, is a Hurley Associates tradition.
A unique source of prospects for our sales department is our Leasing/Property Management Division, the beaches' oldest, one of the largest and certainly the most diversified. Since every renter, whether vacationer or yearly lessee, is a potential home buyer, we make them aware of our sales offerings.
Experience, reliability and a knowledge of our community gathered over the years -- that is what we offer our valued customers, whether home buyer or renter. And that brings results...

Researchers estimate that 13 million tons of plastic pollution find its way into the oceans every year. Unable to biodegrade, it accumulates year after year. Sure, this type of pollution breaks down into smaller pieces after a while, but plastic is even more deadly in miniature.
Brightly-colored bits of plastic can confuse animals, as they tend to look a lot like their food. Plastic isn't digestible and some animals aren't able to pass it out, causing them to eventually starve to death. However, recent research has found that even if the animals are able to excrete the plastic, there are still monumental hazards to the food chain and environment.
Lisette Padilla from DNews breaks down the issue of microplastic and how these tiny pieces of garbage are having a big impact on the ocean:
Thankfully, President Barack Obama recently signed a law, banning microbeads in cosmetics. Corporations have until July 2017 to phase these harmful ingredients out of their products.

The Gospel for today – the Sunday of the Last Judgment – is the parable of the Last Judgment (Matthew 25.31-46). The Church confesses in its historical creeds and liturgies that Christ came into the world the first time and will come a second time, not only to save the world, but in glory to judge the world. These two go together.1 They are two aspects of the same reality – truth. The Father's truth, in Christ Jesus, is "the light" that shows things to be "as they truly are."
Our eternal destiny – is fashioned on this earth in the choices they/we make regarding the truth as it makes contact with our life. Final judgment – salvation or condemnation – will depend upon deeds, not merely on good intentions or even on the mercies of God apart from personal cooperation and obedience. 2
When death comes after a lifetime of choices and opportunities for a positive response to the merciful truth of God in Christ, there is no opportunity for repentance in order to better one's relationship with God. Our minds, limited as they are, cannot comprehend God's love as involving both salvation and condemnation.1 We tend to separate them. After all, didn't Jesus say he came save the world, not to condemn it? Yet, here, at the center of the Christian faith, is the belief that condemnation is part of the saving work of Christ. But where is the resolution of the seeming contradiction? It rests in the choice of men and women like you and me. It rests on the pragmatic presence of a particular kind of "love". It is not Christ who condemns it is men and women who refuse to allow the truth to shine on them; purify them; and save them. That is what condemns.
"And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed." (John 3.19-20)
The Gospel for today is certainly about judgment and the possibility of eternal condemnation. But, it is also, and more importantly, about "personal love". Without "personal love" the Judgment is meaningless and seemingly arbitrary, issuing forth from a wrathful God who seeks to condemn, not to save. But, that is the conclusion we must come to about anything and everything without "personal love". The parable, we come to realize is being used by Jesus to teach us that it is in the circumstances where "personal love" is so often denied people that He desires us to cooperate with Him to exhibit it – poverty (hunger and thirst), prison, nakedness, sickness, loneliness and alienation (always being the stranger), etc. 3
God is the One True Judge of those who engaged in wrong-doing without repentance while in this earthly life. The question is not one of judgment but of repentance. Approaching Lent and Easter, the Christian is admonished to correct his faults by repentantly fasting, praying and sharing their life sacrificially with the "least". The Last Judgment will be made on the basis of the works of each person. These works show the character of his or her faith in and worship of God. These works are shown to be righteous or evil in relationship to a particular group of people, the "least". It is those in need, as Christ Himself says, who have the incredible power to test the character of our righteousness. It is not our relationship with those who are rich, attractive, easy to love, willing to be served that God will use to manifest our faith in Him. No, it is the inconvenient; the unlovable; the destitute; the hardheaded; the resolutely uncooperative. In short, it will be those who drove us crazy and who we wanted to, or did, cast out, who will be used by God to manifest the true character of our faith in Him. On this basis we will either be allowed to or prevented from entering Paradise.1
"Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me." (Matthew 25.40)
"Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me." (Matthew 25.40)
What do we learn? All of our holiness is, first and last, channeled by God towards the goal of serving the world in love and mercy.1 This service is not generic. It is specific. It has a name and an address. This characteristic of true holiness is now interwoven with the themes of the previous pre-Lenten Sundays to form a greater pattern. This pattern displays the truth that it is not enough to behold Jesus; or come to see ourselves as we truly are and return to God as prodigal sons and daughters. The Church teaches that, in addition, one must also be God's sons and daughters by uniting ourselves to Christ in service. We must, along with Christ, plunge ourselves into the lives of the "least" as well as the "greatest"; the "difficult ones" as well as the "easy ones". We must follow Him there; see Him in everyone, and serve Him in everyone.2
We could very well come away from this Gospel reading with the same response as that of the disciples when Jesus spoke of the necessity of eating His flesh and drinking His blood.
"Many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, 'This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?' But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them, 'Do you take offense at this? Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending where he was before? It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life' … After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him. Jesus said to the twelve, 'Do you also wish to go away?' Simon Peter answered him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life; and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.'" (John 6.60-63, 66-69)
So, Jesus consistently took His disciples places they didn't want to go. But, these were the places they had to go in order to be saved.
And so, we too are taken, driven by the Holy Spirit (think of the baptism of Jesus), to the edge of our own power to save ourselves. Indeed, we are driven "over the edge" as it were, into the place where we don't have the power or ability to save ourselves. To the place where we need a savior. It is the place where we believe we are at the brink of "losing it" and being "lost" that we "gain it" and are "found". We must be willing to venture to the place where we must cry out from the depths, the core of our being, "Lord have mercy upon me a sinner!" And that, my brothers and sisters, is the attitude we must have and the territory we must explore as we enter Lent.

The theatre has long been involved with bringing science to schoolchildren — this reader was doing it in the 1960s
Sir, I was interested to read of the success of the science show Night of 200 Billion Stars ("The showbiz experiment making science cool", Nov 26). There is, however, "nothing new under the sun".
In the late 1960s the Mermaid Theatre, under the management of Sir Bernard Miles, created the Molecule Club, for which it produced revue-style shows twice-daily for London schoolchildren on various aspects of science. There were an impressive number of patrons from Lord Beeching to Professor Fred Hoyle — and Colin Ronan was the scientific consultant and a cheerful presence at rehearsals. The shows Lights Up! and OK for Sound were the first of a projected series written by Gerald Frow. The cast of six, with their doughty pianist, had the challenging task…

By Joseph P. Tiano
James Darnell begins his Journal of Biological Chemistry "Reflections" article by saying, "graduate students these days have to swim in a sea virtually turgid with the daily avalanche of new information and may be momentarily too overwhelmed to listen to the aging. I firmly believe how we learned what we know can provide useful guidance for how and what a newcomer will learn." Considering his remarkable and groundbreaking discoveries in RNA processing and eukaryotic transcriptional regulation spanning 60 years of research, the "aging" Darnell's advice should be cherished.
When Darnell started medical school at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, there were two local Major League Baseball teams. (The Browns left for Baltimore three years later in 1954.) It was during his second year at medical school, while studying streptococcal disease in Robert J. Glaser's laboratory, that Darnell realized he "loved doing the experiments" and had his first "career advancement event." He and technician Barbara Pesch discovered that in vivo penicillin treatment killed streptococci only in the exponential growth phase and not in the stationary phase. These results were published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation and earned Darnell an interview with Harry Eagle at the National Institutes of Health.
Darnell arrived at the NIH in 1956, shortly after Eagle had shifted his research interest to culturing animal cells in vitro. His culture medium, Eagle's minimal essential medium, is still used by millions of scientists worldwide. Since Eagle was at that point focused on cell metabolism, he suggested that Darnell take up a side project on poliovirus replication in mammalian cells in collaboration with Robert I. DeMars. It turned out that DeMars' Ph.D. adviser was also the adviser of James Watson (of double-helix fame), so Darnell met Watson, who invited him to give a talk at Harvard University. Darnell subsequently was offered a job as an assistant professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Salvador Luria (Watson and DeMars' adviser). A take-home message is to embrace side projects, because you never know where they may lead: In Darnell's case, such a project helped to shape the rest of his career.
Darnell arrived in Boston in 1961. Following the discovery of DNA's structure in 1953, the world of molecular biology was turning to RNA in an effort to understand how proteins are made. Darnell's background in virology (it was discovered in 1960 that viruses used short-lived RNA to replicate) was ideal for the aim of his first independent lab: exploring mRNA in animal cells grown in culture. While at MIT, he developed a new technique for purifying RNA along with making other observations suggesting that nonribosomal cytoplasmic RNA may be involved in protein synthesis.
In 1964, Darnell moved to Albert Einstein College of Medicine for full professorship and a generous 250-percent salary increase. (He notes that by this time he had a wife and three sons.) By this time it was hypothesized that heterogenous nuclear RNA was a precursor to mRNA, but the experiments to demonstrate this were encountering difficulties. At Einstein, Darnell discovered RNA processing of pre-tRNAs and demonstrated for the first time that a specific nuclear RNA could represent a possible specific mRNA precursor.
In 1967 Darnell took a position at Columbia University, and it was there that he discovered (simultaneously with two other labs) that mRNA contained a polyadenosine tail. The three groups all published their results together in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 1971. Shortly afterward, Darnell made his final career move four short miles down the street to Rockefeller University in 1974.
Over the next 35-plus years at Rockefeller, Darnell never strayed from his original research question: How do mammalian cells make and control the making of different mRNAs? His work was instrumental in the collaborative discovery of splicing in the late 1970s and in identifying and cloning many transcriptional activators. Perhaps his greatest contribution during this time, with the help of Ernest Knight, was the discovery and cloning of the signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) proteins. And with George Stark, Andy Wilks and John Krowlewski, he described cytokine signaling via the JAK-STAT pathway. Darnell closes his "Reflections" with perhaps his best advice: Do not get too wrapped up in your own work, because "we are all needed and we are all in this together."

Hi I have a quick question about a program im writing. The bold part is where im stuck. As of now my output is correct. Just wondering how to delete the memory I allocated.
The question asks:
Let us say that you want to choose how many marks to enter for the student and have the array change size accordingly. This gives you the opportunity to work with dynamic pointers.
You will have to make the following changes to your code:
Change mark within the Student struct to an integer pointer.
Ask the user from main how many marks they would like to enter
Change both the functions to have an additional parameter which is the number of marks.
For the initStudent function, dynamically allocate the marks according to the number required
Add a destructor for the Student structure (~Student). The purpose of this will be to delete any memory inside this structure allocated using new.
The run might look like the following:
How many marks are there? 5
Please enter a name: Sam
Please enter an id: 195556
Please enter a mark: 87
Please enter a mark: 98
Please enter a mark: 77
Please enter a mark: 88

Nissan Cefiro
This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (November 2018)
The Nissan Cefiro is a mid-size car that was produced by the Japanese automobile manufacture Nissan Motors. Introduced to Japan in 1988 as the A31 series four-door sedan, and exclusive to Japanese Nissan dealerships called Nissan Satio Store, the Cefiro initially shared its basic rear-wheel drive chassis with the Nissan Laurel (C33), Nissan Leopard (F31), and the Nissan Skyline (R32). After production of the A31 stopped, the Cefiro dropped its sporting pretensions and essentially saw the standalone Cefiro model deleted from the lineup. This came with the introduction of the A32 and A33 Maxima, which took on the Cefiro nameplace in the Japanese domestic market although it bore no mechanical relation to the A31. The A32 and A33 closely follow the lineage of the J30 Maxima which was produced at the same time as the A31 Cefiro. The second generation (A32) and third (A33) generation Cefiro saw the switching to the front-wheel drive layout with a V6 engine. In Europe, the Middle East, New Zealand and Australia, the A32 and A33 series models were sold new as the Nissan Maxima. It is also badge engineered as the Renault Samsung SM5.

In North America, the Middle East, and Africa, Nissan retailed the A32 and A33 series Cefiro sedans through the Infiniti brand as the Infiniti I30 and later as the Infiniti I35. While the styling of the Infiniti versions was essentially identical to the Cefiro sold in other markets, the same car with revised front- and rear-styling was also sold in North America as the Nissan Maxima as cheaper, lower-specification model.
The word "cefiro" is Spanish for "breeze".

Nissan released the A31 series Cefiro sedan to Japan in September 1988. It shared its transmission, engine and rear suspension setup with the R32 Skyline, F31 Leopard, and C33 Laurel with the exception of the diesel engine which was available only in the Laurel. The chassis platform and front suspension (strut type) was shared with the Laurel with the one exception of the 4wd Cefiro, which used the Skyline GTS4 front suspension (multiple link type) and front drive train. The chassis was shared with the Laurel only, as it had a slightly longer wheelbase than the Skyline chassis. It was also one of the first Japanese production vehicles to be equipped with a 5 speed automatic transmission, which was available in the 2.5L non turbo.
The Cefiro was introduced as a result of cross-town rival Toyota expanding its Mark II platform with the Toyota Cresta and Toyota Chaser triplets, with Nissan offering the Cefiro as a comparable fourth alternative to the Skyline and Laurel models, selling each vehicle at a separate Nissan dealership (Nissan Prince for the Skyline, Nissan Motor for the Laurel, Nissan Bluebird for the Leopard, and Nissan Satio for the Cefiro). The model code "A31" was chosen as the number combination "A30" was previously used by the 1967–1971 Nissan Gloria soon after Nissan had merged with the Prince Motor Company. The Cefiro took the top-level position at Nissan Satio as its exterior dimensions were exactly the same as the luxury sedans Nissan Cedric (exclusive to Nissan Bluebird) and the Nissan Gloria (exclusive to Nissan Prince) locations.
Brand new, the Cefiro was slightly more expensive than the equivalent Nissan Skyline and had many modern features available for the first time. They included projector beam headlights, automatic tinting rear vision cabin mirror, electrically adjustable seats, automatic headlights, steering wheel mounted radio controls, HICAS four-wheel steering, electronically adjustable (damper) suspension and Nissans proprietary 4WD system, ATTESA E-TS. Due to its luxurious content of equipment and features installed, it helped to justify the moderately high annual road tax bill to Japanese buyers.
Nissan took the unusual step of making a left-hand drive version of the Cefiro A31, sold in Latin America, Turkey and other Eurasian countries as a Nissan Laurel Altima – in most export markets this slot was filled by the Nissan Maxima. Unlike the Japanese versions, export models are fitted with a carburetted single cam CA20S inline-four producing 102 hp (76 kW) and RB24 engine which was a single-cam 2.4-liter RB inline-six producing 141 hp (105 kW). Left hand drive Laurel Altimas were the flagship vehicle of Nissan's Turkish lineup for the early 1990s.
From 1990, the A31 was facelifted and given a softer look with revised tail lights, center console, grill and cabin fabrics. Also available from 1990 was the line up of "SE" models, these featured yet another revised tail light, silver grill, revised bumpers, center console and updated interior. The exterior dimensions and engine displacement were in compliance with Japanese Government regulations for vehicles classed as "compact" helping to ensure strong demand in Japan.

Nissan debuted the A32 series Cefiro in August 1994 for the Japanese market. With the debut of the A32, Nissan changed the market orientation of the Cefiro from a premium sports sedan (A31) to a slightly larger executive sedan. Generally, the A32 was only badged as the Cefiro in Japan for the domestic market; A32s that were exported new from Japan often wore the Maxima badge. In Europe, the A32 was sold as the "Nissan Maxima QX". In Taiwan the Cefiro A32 was manufactured by Yulon under the Nissan brand. Other countries that adopted the Cefiro name included Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. In Korea, it was badge engineered and introduced as the Renault Samsung SM5. Certain Cefiro sold in Taiwan and South East Asian countries has rear license plate on the trunk instead of on the bumper like on the Japanese model and Infiniti I30.
This particular series was softened considerably, lacking the sporting edge of the A31, losing the inline-six engine and rear-wheel drive for front-wheel drive and a V6, the latter being Nissan's award-winning VQ series engines. The Japanese market Cefiro was also offered as a wagon, as an alternative to the Toyota Mark II Qualis, from 1997 to 2000.
Infiniti I30Edit
Infiniti launched the Cefiro in North America as the "Infiniti I30" in 1995 for the 1996 model year. All I30 models were built at Oppama, Japan (where the Maxima was built), commencing June 27, 1995. It replaced the Infiniti J30. The rear badge of the I30 used a cursive letter "I" instead of a matching font used for the "30" designation, as the "I" would have appeared as a number "1", labeling the car confusingly as the 130, in conflict with Infiniti's alphanumeric naming convention.
As Infiniti's top seller at the time, the I30 remained the brand's mid-level model, joining the entry-level Primera-based Infiniti G20 until the introduction of the Skyline-based Infiniti G35 to North America for the 2003 model year. The Infiniti I30 was also sold in South Korea and Indonesia.
The I30 shared the 3.0-liter VQ30DE V6 engine producing 190 hp (142 kW) with the North American Maxima. Infiniti made several revisions to the I30 over the years, including revised tail-lights and trunk garnish. The Touring model, I30t, gained five-spoke alloy wheels instead of the old BBS wheels. It also came with more aggressive suspension tuning as well as a spoiler and BBS wheels, and a small percentage of first-generation I30s had five-speed manual transmissions, many with VLSD. An in-dash hands-free car phone was also available as an option.

Nissan released the A33 series in December 1998 for the Japanese market. In Japan, trim levels were 2.0 and 2.5 Excimo, 2.0 and 2.5 Excimo G, 2.0 and 2.5 S Touring, and 3.0 Brougham VIP. Five-speed manual transmission was only offered for the 2.0 Excimo and 2.0 S Touring. The limited edition "L Selection" and modified Autech version were also offered in Japan.
In Australia, the A33 was called Nissan Maxima and sold from 1999 through to 2003. Trim levels were S, ST, and Ti—all powered by the 3.0-liter engine.
The A33 was produced until 2008 for the Malaysian market and is available as the 3.0 Brougham VIP and Excimo 2.0 G. The Malaysian model is manufactured by Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn Bhd in Kuala Lumpur.[1] Another Cefiro version was built by Yulon for the Taiwanese market. It was the last Nissan Cefiro manufactured by Yulon. It was displaced in 2002 by vehicles from the GM Yulon joint-venture. In Korea, it continued to be sold as the badge engineered Renault Samsung SM5.
The Maxima was in production from 2002 to 2012 for the Iranian market by Pars Khodro.
Infiniti I30 and I35Edit
Infiniti utilised the A33 series as an update for the I30 in 1999 for the 2000 model year. Engine power was up to 227 hp (169 kW) but the manual transmission was no longer offered in North America (it continued to be available in the Middle East). One key complaint many people voiced about the previous generation I30 was that it was too similar to its Nissan Maxima counterpart. To address these complaints, differences of the Infiniti I30 compared to the Nissan Maxima for both models' redesign for the 2000 model year included a more powerful engine thanks to the addition of a variable capacity muffler and an additional fenderwell air intake, different front and rear body styling, gauge cluster design, a foot-pedal parking brake (as compared to the Maxima's center console mounted lever), center dashboard design, the availability of a rear sunshade, and standard drivers seat memory. If one chose the I30t (t standing for "touring"), then the vehicle would come equipped with High-Intensity Discharge (HID) xenon headlamps with darker colored headlamp surrounds, a viscous limited-slip differential, larger 17" wheels, and the availability of a Sport Package which consisted of a rear decklid-mounted spoiler and side-sill body extensions. The rear spoiler was offered as a dealer accessory on the non-Touring I30, but the full Sport Package was unavailable. In testing, many editorials claimed that when compared to the Infiniti I30's competition, the Acura 3.2TL and Lexus ES300, the Infiniti was a middle-ground between the two, stating that the I30 was neither as sporty as the Acura, nor as comfortable as the Lexus.[citation needed]
In late 2001 (for the 2002 model year) the model got its most significant host of upgrades, including minor styling changes, minor revisions to the interior, new optional equipment, larger brakes, a re-tuned suspension system, a standard traction control system, and optional electronic stability control. The updated model was renamed " Infiniti I35" to reflect an engine displacement increase from 3.0 to 3.5 liters, with the new VQ35DE V6, producing 255 hp (190 kW).
In September 2004, Nissan announced that I35 production would cease and that model year 2004 would be the last for this vehicle. It was also the last remaining front-wheel drive Infiniti since the G20 ended production after the 2002 model year. The I was replaced by the new Infiniti M which had been introduced earlier for the 2003 model year. Sales also could have declined due to the redesign of the Infiniti G, another mid-size sedan, with a coupe option, with better driving dynamics, more enthusiast-centric styling, more power, and different drivetrain options, being Rear-Wheel Drive or All-Wheel Drive as opposed to the I35's Front-Wheel Drive.
Indonesian versions were sold from 2000 to 2002 as the Infiniti I30 Standard and Touring. The later models from 2002 to 2003 was sold as Nissan Cefiro 3.0 Brougham VIP.
J31 (2003–2008)Edit
The Cefiro disappeared in 2003, but the name continues to be used in some export markets, using the Nissan Teana (J31) as a new replacement model. The J31 Teana was sold under the name of Cefiro in Hong Kong, Nepal, Bangladesh, Singapore, Brunei, Latin America and the Caribbean. Ghandhara Nissan in Karachi, Pakistan, was the last plant using the Cefiro name when it was replaced by the Nissan Teana J32 in late 2012.

Article Title
Daubert and Judicial Review: How Does An Administrative Agency Distinguish Valid Science from Junk Science?
This broad authority to assess risk, however, leaves too much discretion to administrative agencies. Even more disturbing is the fact that different agencies assess the same risks differently, which leads to inconsistent results. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for example, in determining the cancer risks from pesticides on food, produced an estimated risk of cancer mortality ten times greater than the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). To use a law and economics model, valuing equivalent (or identical) risks differently leaves open the possibility of economic misallocation. For example, if one agency has determined the proper level of risk, and assuming that both agencies must regulate the risk to reduce it to its optimal level, the second agency is either over- or under-regulating.
If an agency over-regulates, the agency is merely addressing a threat whose benefits are so marginal that the spending no longer justifies the cost of the additional regulation. But if an agency under-regulates, potential lives may be lost that could have been saved by more regulation. Unless agencies recognize that inconsistencies may occur if they fail to examine their regulations in a broader context, an agencies' regulation of one environmental risk may actually increase the danger posed by a collateral risk. For example, if an agency decides to close a nuclear power plant to reduce the risk of radiation poisoning, there may actually be an increase in the potential damage from acid rain as people burn more fossil fuels to compensate for the nuclear power plant closing.

When I was pregnant with my fifth child, I was a little apprehensive about the post partum recovery stage. I had suffered from post partum depression (PPD) after my first and third baby and it had gone undiagnosed. A friend of mine who had similar problems turned me on to a NaproTechnology (NaPro) doctor. After some testing, this doctor pointed out that my progesterone levels were much lower than normal levels in pregnant women. This was the major underlying cause for my depression.
Even though I had always worked with midwives who are known to be pretty holistic, nobody had told me that such tests were available or that there was help.
The doctor prescribed a non-synthetic progesterone during the last stages of my pregnancy and also to be taken immediately after birth as a preventative measure. Everything turned out great!
Through NaPro, I have learned to become an informed decision maker in my own reproductive health. Today, NaproTechnology helps me monitor premenstrual syndrome (PMS) as I work alongside my doctor.
Too many women are suffering silently with PPD and PMS. Either they are ignorant to the help available to them through Dr Hilger's research or, worse, misinformed or ignored by doctors who are ignorant of NaproTechnology. Too often, if our PPD is not severe, our plight is ignored or we are told it's just a normal part of parenting a newborn. Sometimes hormonal depression is treated incorrectly with antidepressants that don't address the hormonal aspect of the problem. Families are suffering because of the lack of knowledgeable medicine like NaproTechnology. There needs to be reform. I am so thankful that I was one of the lucky ones.

Earlier this month the Council of Graduate Schools reported that 2012 is seeing a continued torrent of Chinese applicants to US graduate programs: up 18% for fall 2012, following increases of 21% in 2011 and 20% in 2010. The most popular recipients of the applications are engineering, business, and earth sciences programs. This significant news was featured widely, including in the Wall Street Journal, which concisely discusses some of the drivers of this trend.
What does this trend mean to you, in practical terms?
Chinese applicants tend to have strong academic track records and high standardized test scores. Moreover, as they learn from the experience of their seniors who are now students in the US, and as they have more access to consultants, they are increasingly sophisticated about the application process. In short, they're often formidable candidates.
If you are Chinese and applying to programs favored by your countrymen, you will face the challenge of being in an over-represented group. Your academic record and test scores will be compared to others of your nationality, so (a) high scores are all the more important, but alone will not win you acceptance, and therefore, (b) your essays, resume, and interviews should distinguish you within this group.
If you are a non-Chinese applicant to programs that receive many Chinese applicants, realize that these applicants likely raise the bar in terms of test scores and undergrad records. While adcoms will still evaluate applicants in comparison to their own demographic groups, if one major group's scores are high, it still raises the bar overall.
If you are a foreign, non-Chinese applicant to programs that receive many Chinese applicants, your nationality potentially represents a point of diversity as programs seek a range of geographic perspectives. Try to get some mileage out of this distinctiveness in your application.
Chinese applicants and students are known for their focus and their drive to excel. I speculate that this drive makes them less likely to drop out of grad programs and more likely to finish on time. If you're applying to programs that attract many Chinese applicants, it can only help to convey serious determination while portraying your motivations and passions.
