USPSTF: Screen High-Risk Smokers for Lung Cancer
Annual low-dose CT lung cancer screening got the thumbs-up from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) for adults ages 55 through 79 who have a 30 pack-year history of smoking or who have quit in the past 15 years.
That strategy garnered a grade B in draft recommendations released today and is expected to pave the way for reimbursement from Medicare and private insurance.
Other screening modalities, such as chest x-ray and sputum cytology, were not recommended.
"This is a huge step. This is going to save lots of lives. I get choked up because it really will make a tremendous difference, more than anything else for cancer, for all cancers combined," said Claudia Henschke, PhD, MD, a radiologist at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City and a long-time lung CT screening advocate.
The task force had originally recommended against lung cancer screening (grade D) when reviewed in 1996, and then concluded there was insufficient evidence either way when reviewed again in 2004.
The National Lung Screening Trial, stopped early in 2010, was the first to show a mortality benefit from lung cancer screening.
"It's been more than 20 years since we started and more than 14 years since we really knew it would give this great benefit," she told MedPage Today. "It took that additional time to get enough convincing evidence from other people."
Her group's earlier International Early Lung Cancer Action Project (I-ELCAP) study had suggested that treating the early stage cancers predominantly picked up by CT improved outcomes but was controversial both for misreporting key data and failure to disclose tobacco company funding and royalties for the imaging technology to Henschke and a co-author.
The systematic review supporting the new draft recommendations, published simultaneously online in the Annals of Internal Medicine, used the evidence from that study only in calculation of CT's predictive value for various sized nodules.
Screening Criteria
Other organizations have also been recommending CT screening for lung cancer, although they have not been unanimous on the criteria for doing so.
Guidelines from the American Cancer Society and the American College of Chest Physicians favored screening patients using the National Lung Screening Trial criteria of smokers ages 55 to 74 with at least a 30 pack-year history of smoking or those who have quit in the prior 15 years.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines extended that to individuals as young as 50 or those with a 20 pack-year history of smoking if they had additional risk factors, such as occupational exposure to carcinogens like asbestos.
The USPSTF diverged from all three with its recommendation to stop screening once an individual reaches age 80.
The reason for the change: the National Lung Screening Trial enrolled individuals up to age 74 but then continued to screen them for several years and because the modeling suggested 55 through 79 as offering the best balance of benefit and risk, Virginia A. Moyer, MD, MPH, chair of the USPSTF, told MedPage Today.
Henschke predicted that the guidelines would expand to a broader age range with a lower pack-year smoking history threshold for screening as further research develops.
The trial enrollment criteria were picked to maximize the number of cancers found for appropriate statistical power.
"I don't think it was ever envisioned that that would be the only group who benefits from it," she explained, adding that "the person who falls outside of these criteria really has to talk to his physician and discuss the risks and benefits of screening."
However, "caution should be used in recommending screening to patients with significant comorbidity, particularly those who are toward the upper end of the screening age range," the task force wrote.
Expected Benefits
The systematic review commissioned by the USPSTF found "adequate evidence" of benefit for otherwise healthy persons.
The National Lung Cancer Screening Trial showed a 20% lung cancer mortality reduction and nearly 7% all-cause mortality reduction with low-dose CT screening, with a number needed to screen to prevent one lung cancer death of 320 and 219 to save one life overall.
The review compared that with numbers needed to screen or to invite to screen for other common screening tests:
For mammography, one breast cancer death prevented over 11 to 20 years per 1,905 women ages 40 to 49, or 1,339 in those ages 50 to 59, or 377 in women ages 60 to 69
For flexible sigmoidoscopy, one colon cancer death prevented per 871 screenings
The other three studies included in the review did not supported a significant mortality advantage to lung cancer screening.
But those small European studies "were underpowered and of insufficient duration to evaluate screening effectiveness," Linda L. Humphrey, MD, MPH, of the Pacific Northwest Evidence-based Practice Center at the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, and colleagues wrote in the review.
In practical terms, the USPSTF recommendations will likely mean a big uptick in actual screening rates.
Primary care physicians largely have not been recommending CT lung cancer screening, which few insurance companies cover, commented Dan Raz, MD, surgical director of lung Cancer and thoracic oncology at City of Hope in Duarte, Calif.
The out-of-pocket cost, ranging from $50 to $400, can be a "huge barrier for people," he told MedPage Today.
Under the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies are required to cover any screening service that is given an A or B rating by the USPSTF without any copay or deductible, Therese Bevers, MD, director of the MD Anderson Cancer Prevention Center in Houston, explained in an interview.
That shift should provide more opportunity for cure by catching tumors at an early stage, rather than metastatic at presentation as most patients do now, Raz added.
Risk of Harm
However, the USPSTF warned about the downside of CT's expertise in detecting small nodules: the high rate of recall and biopsy of lung nodules that turn out to be benign.
On their first screening, 9% to 51% of patients had an abnormal scan, which fell to 4% to 42% on subsequent scans.
Most were cleared with further imaging but the 94% false positive rate meant extra radiation exposure and anxiety as well as cost.
Overdiagnosis is a concern, as an estimated 10% to 12% of the screen-detected cancer cases wouldn't have been detected in the patient's lifetime otherwise, based on the modeling studies commissioned by the USPSTF.
Its review also warned about false reassurance due to the false negative rate of up to 20%.
The trialists have been careful in setting up how to manage abnormal scans, and that same care needs to be continued in community practice, Edward Kim, MD, chair of solid tumor oncology at Carolinas HealthCare System in Charlotte, N.C., noted in an interview.
"We really have to be diligent in how we set up these parameters and which we look at; was it a positive or was it a negative?" he told MedPage Today.
"The responsibility lies in the hands of pulmonologists, oncologists, and thoracic surgeons to make prudent decisions on how to investigate these lesions, and make sure not to subject patients with benign entities that are detected on the CT scan to undergo invasive procedures," agreed Zab Mosenifar, MD, a pulmonologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
The size threshold for lung nodules used in the National Lung Screening Trial (4 mm) may have been too small, based on more recent research, Raz noted.
"As time goes on, we're going to have more and more research about how to select patients in a smarter way, and how to identify who is a positive and who is a negative in a smarter way so that we can reduce the risk and really maximize the benefit of lung cancer screening," he said. "So I think this is really just the beginning."
Another area of concern is that the trials suggested no impact of screening on encouraging smokers to quit or cut down on tobacco use.
"Screening is absolutely not a substitute for stopping smoking," Moyer emphasized.

When I was a kid my scout master proposed a trip idea that
was bigger than anything we had ever imagined-a houseboating trip on Lake Powell
in southern Utah.
No one in my troop had ever been to Lake
Powell before, or had
even seen a houseboat for that matter. We didn't know much about this proposed
trip, but we had seen enough photos that it wasn't hard to get motivated to
raise the money. We cut lawns all summer and did all kinds of fundraisers so we
could rent a houseboat the following year. Unfortunately back in those days the
number of houseboats available to rent fell short of the demand.
I don't blame my scout master who tried like crazy to find
us a houseboat by putting his name on waiting lists and anything else he could
think of. He tried, but we never were able to find a houseboat to rent. We
still ended up going to Powell that next summer and we had a great time
sleeping in tents and camping out for a week, but at the time I wondered if I'd
ever get a chance to see the inside of houseboat.
It's funny to look back now after several trips to Lake Powell
for my job and countless experiences with being on different houseboats from all
across the country. There was no way of knowing at that time as a young scout
that my future career would be centered on the houseboating industry and that
some day I'd be the editor of Houseboat magazine.
However, despite being on more rental houseboats than I can
count, it occurred to me this past spring that I've never actually rented a
houseboat on Lake
Powell. If this had been
a Hollywood script I would have picked up the
phone and called my old scout master and together we could have rounded up our
troop and finally fulfilled our dream of renting a houseboat on Powell. But this
is my script and instead I went with plan B which included inviting my own family
along to fulfill that dream of renting a houseboat on Powell.
Lake Powell Marina
Finding a houseboat to rent on Powell is a lot easier than
it was 20 or so years ago. For starters, places like Lake Powell Resorts &
Marinas that offers a wide variety to choose from, has over 100 different
houseboats available and that's just at one of its marinas. It's not nearly as
hard as it once was, but planning ahead will give you the most options when it
comes to finding the right houseboat for your situation.
Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas has three locations on the
lake to rent from including at the Bullfrog Marina as well as the Halls
Crossing Marina. But for my long-awaited vacation I wanted to return to the
area close to the dam and the Wahweap Marina was just the right place.
Top Reasons To Visit
My weeklong houseboating vacation was near perfect and I
couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. We went just before the
calendar turned to June and the weather was perfect.
To highlight my experience I've created my own top 10 list
for why you should book a houseboat vacation from Lake Powell Resorts & Marina.
10. In The Picture
One of the best qualities of Lake Powell
is the scenery won't disappoint you. It's like no other houseboating lake that
I've ever seen and it's truly inspiring to see in person. Often you hear about
beautiful places, but when you actually visit it doesn't look or feel like you
imagined it would. On the lake that is more than 400 feet deep, 186 miles long
with nearly 2,000 miles of shoreline with towering red rock sandstone cliffs, you
actually feel like you're inside a painting. Everywhere you look or turn you
feel like you're now part of the scenery.
The places we were able to visit felt like they belonged in
a coffee table photo book. They're the kind of pictures that make you stop and
stare when turning pages and the only reason you go on is to see if the next
photo could somehow be any better.
9. First Class
When you rent from Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas you go
in style. The friendly and well-organized staff treated us as if we were
royalty and every detail was carefully covered with no exceptions. A suggested itinerary,
maps and plenty of information as well as cart service that delivered our stuff
right to our boat were available from the start and the actual houseboat felt
as luxurious as a personal boat.
8. The Boat
Blame in on the day job, but you really can't find a better way
to explore Lake Powell than on a houseboat. We rented
the 48 Navigator that offers most of the first-rate amenities of the larger
class vessels, but in a smaller craft. It sleeps up to 14 people and with a
fully-equipped kitchen, gas grill, top deck slide and stereo, along with a TV
system with a DVD player, we had everything we could ever need.
You may have seen stripped down rental houseboats that look
like, well for lack of a better word, rentals, but this posh Navigator from
Twin Anchors had a nice luxurious feel to it.
7. Seclusion
There are more than 90 major canyons on Lake Powell
and thousands of sandy beaches to enjoy the brilliant blue-green water. We
easily found a perfect little cove off the main channel that was the ideal spot
to beach our houseboat. We had the area to ourselves and we were protected from
the wind, plus there were plenty of great places for the kids to hike and
explore. And each night we had a picture-perfect postcard moment when we'd
light a fire on the beach and look back at the houseboat as well as the rest of
the beautiful scenery.
6. A Must-See
No trip to Lake Powell is complete without a trip to Rainbow Bridge. Sculpted by wind and water,
spanning 275 feet and reaching a height of 290 feet, Rainbow Bridge
is the most photographed geological wonder in the west. This year marks the 100th
anniversary of it becoming a national monument and if you only go out
sight-seeing once while you're out you need to make sure this stop is on your
5. Up Close And Personal
Besides the Navigator houseboat we also rented a 19-foot
powerboat from Lake Powell Resorts & Marina. This gave us the option to
quickly get back to the dock if we needed something from the marina as well as
pull tubes and explore the beautiful canyons. The one-two punch of having a
luxurious houseboat along with a secondary craft is really the best way to get
the most out of your trip, plus it will save you time and gas money having that
second boat.
4. Eating Well
It's always nice to bring grandma along because we did eat
well with her onboard. While it appeared to be our job to have fun and enjoy
our relaxing vacation, she felt it was her job to keep us fed. The inventory
list of what is included on the Navigator is surprisingly long. We truly had
the culinary comforts of home at our disposal and grandma took full advantage
of them.
3. Variety
With some vacations you don't get a lot of variation, but
Powell is more than just a great place to get in the water. Besides pulling
tubes or sight-seeing, you can also use your boat to do some fishing. Types of
fish found in the lake include striped bass, large and smallmouth bass,
crappie, catfish and carp.
Or you can also take advantage of the thousands of hiking
and biking trails in the area. There is a whole new world to explore once you
get off the beaten path and step off your boat. You could spend the next 30
years exploring Lake
Powell and still not
experience all that it offers.
2. Photography
Some places are just so centerfold perfect they should come
with staples. Professional photographers flock to Powell because no matter how
hard they try, they can't take a bad picture. In fact, most amateur
photographers with disposable cameras find a way to come back with at least one
picture that could hang on an office wall.
This photographer paradise had me busy and the photo
highlight of the trip came on the last night when I captured the moon as it
appeared between the red cliffs. We were on our way back to our beached
houseboat in what turned out to be a dusk cruise by accident, but the result
was one of my favorite pictures from the week.
1. Family Time
As beautiful and as awe-inspiring as the Glen Canyon National
Recreation Area is, for me it really was about enjoying it all with my family.
To see my wife relaxing from the top deck while getting caught up on some books
as well as watching my young kids head off to explore the red rock trails,
confirmed our decision to rent a houseboat as we added to our family's
Lake Powell really is America's favorite houseboating
destination and Lake Powell Resorts & Marina has a lot to do with why
people return year after year to experience this unique place. This might have
been the first time that I ever rented a houseboat on Lake Powell,
but it surely won't be the last. My family is already looking forward to the
next time.
Of course, if I really wanted to create a story I would call
up that old scout master of mine from years ago and invite him to join us next
time. He obviously knew something that we didn't when he first tried to
introduce us to the joys of houseboating on Powell and for that I'm still very

Julia Roberts is predicting her new film "Valentine's Day" is going to lead to big things across the country.
The collection of stories that make up the romantic comedy, which stars practically half of Hollywood, including Bradley Cooper, Taylor Lautner, Jessica Biel, Ashton Kutcher, Jamie Foxx and Eric Dane, could inspire some love action on the part of moviegoers, or so says Julia.
"Mark my words, nine and a half months after this movie comes out — baby boom!" Julia predicted during an interview with Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos on Friday. "[There will be] lots of cute little boys named Bradley."
While none of them are named Bradley, Julia has three adorable children of her own – twins Phinneaus and Hazel, 5, and Henry 2, and she revealed she brought her kids to the "Valentine's Day" set.
"I don't leave them [at home when I go off to work]," Julia said. "This was three days. They were there and then I did 'Eat, Pray, Love,' and they traveled for five months and they were with me every day."
While her kids may be used to being on set, Julia said her little ones don't quite understand what their mommy does for a living.
"They're only five," she said, referring to the twins. "They don't really understand money. There's not a question… I go to work and so then they see our friends and we all hang out and we go home. So I don't know what they think the actual work part is."

Trouble in the Mile High City
Notes and quotes on the White Sox's 3-2 extra inning loss last night to the Rockies:
* The winning run scored from first base on a single in the 13th inning (pictured above) when centerfielder Brent Lillibridge seemed to nonchalant the play.
Lillibridge explains:
"We're playing no doubles in one of the biggest ballparks in this league. (Ty Wigginton) bloops it right there behind second base, and the first thing I'm doing is sprinting in there. Once it stops, I have to make sure. I can't go in on a bare-hand sprint and miss the ball. I'm not going to make a mistake there. I'm going to make sure I get it.
"Right when I looked to see where the runner (Troy Tulowitzki) was, I saw him rounding third base so I gathered myself, made a one-hop throw to home plate and take a chance and he was able to beat it. It was close, but it was a good call by the third base coach. It was just one of those weird things that you never think a guy would send him, but he knew what he was doing and they got the win out of it."
* Lillibridge was in center because Ozzie pulled Alex Rios from the game for not hustling.
Ozzie on Rios, who was hitless and committed an error in the fifth:
"(He) don't run the bases. That's why I got him out of the game. It's not (the first time) it's happened. If you don't play the game right, you're out of the game."
* In a much-too-familiar scenario, the White Sox hit into a pair of double plays in the first five innings that halted ralllies.
Ozzie on the loss:
"I don't think we should feel bad because we earned it to lose this game. We deserved to lose. I think the way we played from the first inning, I don't think we should have won this game at all. We had opportunities. The only thing about this game, we pitched well. Everything else was pretty bad.
After last night and the recent hitting woes of Adam Dunn and all the rest the five games in which we trail the Tigers seems like 20.

MOBILE | An NCAA rule that had placed restrictions on how much text messaging coaches could engage in with recruits has been lifted, giving Nick Saban and other coaches more freedom to make contact with the next big star. But the University of Alabama coach doesn't sound as though the clearance will necessarily mean big changes in how his staff's time is prioritized.
MOBILE | An NCAA rule that had placed restrictions on how much text messaging coaches could engage in with recruits has been lifted, giving Nick Saban and other coaches more freedom to make contact with the next big star.
But the University of Alabama coach doesn't sound as though the clearance will necessarily mean big changes in how his staff's time is prioritized.
"I think it's always important to be able to communicate. I think it's a fine line between how much you need to communicate and be effective at doing it, how much attention someone really needs to get and when it should start," Saban said. "I think we all have to be conscious that we have a responsibility and obligation to have time and attention to the team we have on campus right now."
Saban said the returning UA team will begin its weight lifting program today, and the goals in place for the offseason development program must get their due attention.
"I'm not just concerned about recruiting the next player, I'm concerned about the guys that we've already recruited, making sure they're doing all the things they need to do to be successful personally, academically, athletically," Saban said. "To balance that, I think the rules should reflect that."
Saban made his annual visit to the Monday practice of Senior Bowl week at Fairhope Stadium, posing for a photograph with the Crimson Tide players on hand for the workout. The coach had an extended chat with outgoing Oregon coach Chip Kelly during practice and signed autographs before leaving.
Among the other actions by the NCAA will be various deregulations, including changes to its enforcement and infractions policy. NCAA president Mark Emmert discussed the revisions as a means of streamlining the NCAA manual and repairing the image that it is overly cumbersome.
"Some of our rules are counterintuitive, outdated and just unenforceable," Emmert said. "They don't make sense in the world we live in. We are refocusing on the things that really matter."
"I'm excited for Chip. He's done a fantastic job and has been a real innovator in college football with some of the things he's done. We have a tremendous amount of respect for the great job that he did at Oregon, in terms of the kind of program and the record and success he's had there."
— Saban on Kelly's departure from Oregon to the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles
Honey Badger in town
Former LSU star Tyrann Mathieu is at the Senior Bowl and hopes to meet with NFL coaches and executives.
He said his ambitions haven't changed even if his days as the "Honey Badger" ended with his college career. The 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist watched ex-teammate Lavar Edwards and the rest of the Senior Bowl's South team practice on Monday.
Mathieu was dismissed from the LSU team last August for failing a drug test. He was arrested in late October along with three other former LSU players after police said they found marijuana at Mathieu's apartment.
Senior Bowl notes
UA offensive lineman D.J. Fluker became one of the first two fourth-year junior invites to the Senior Bowl, and weighed 355 pounds at the morning weigh-in, attended by hundreds of NFL scouts and coaches. Fluker did not participate in practice, however, and won't play because of minor injuries. ... Other UA players on the South roster include long snapper Carson Tinker, safety Robert Lester, linebacker Nico Johnson and tight end Michael Williams. Williams made several impressive catches against man coverage during drill work, most coming from South quarterbacks E.J. Manuel of Florida State, and Landry Jones of Oklahoma ... There are 23 players on the South roster from Southeastern Conference schools. Among the players who stood out at practice were Georgia's Tavarres King, Arkansas' Cobi Hamilton, LSU's Lavar Edwards and Louisiana Tech's Quinton Patton.

Consider this the shocker we didn't see coming (sarcasm, people).
Chris Brown and his model girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, have split. Why? Well, we'll give you one Barbadian-infused guess...
"I have decided to be single to focus on my career," Brown tells E! News. "I love Karrueche very much, but I don't want to see her hurt over my friendship with Rihanna. I'd rather be single, allowing us to both be happy in our lives."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Chris Brown and Rihanna hit up Jay-Z concert together a day after club hookup
Breezy announced the breakup just one day after reportedly cozying up with Rihanna Wednesday night at Jay-Z's NYC concert. Just one day earlier, the tempestuous duo were also caught making out at a Manhattan nightclub.
Although Brown is not confirming the rampant rumors that he and Ri-Ri are indeed back together, he is publicly admitting that the two have been hanging out.
The same night of the CB and Ri-Ri concert sighting, Breezy's now ex-girlfriend Karrueche posted a cryptic tweet simply consisting of "Bye Baby."
Chris Brown and Rihanna make out at NYC club
Brown remains on probation for his infamous 2009 beatdown of Rihanna. Last week, a judge refused to revoke Breezy's probation after the R&B star tested positive for marijuana.
Good luck with that "friendship," you two.

Graduate Council Meeting
October 16, 2006
I. The meeting was called to order at 2:35 p.m.
Voting members and alternates present were: G. Alter, G. Bernhardt, K. Bullinger, A. Chamberlain, D. Cipollini, R. Dodge, J. Dombrowski, R. Grandhi, D. Ketcha, N. Klingbeil, M. Leffak, P. Martin, S. Narayanan, J. Petrick, T. Rafferty, L. Ream, J. Rudisill, C. Ryan, V. Shalin, J. Sherman, T. Sudkamp, C. Sulentic, C. Taylor, J. Thomas (Chair), L. VandeCreek, D. Voss, B. Wang, R. Wantz, R. Williams, E. Wolf
Non-voting attendees were: A. Johnson, R. Carlsen, G. Malicki, E. Reinsch-Friese, J. Sayer, K. Wilhoit
II. Approval of Minutes
It was moved and seconded that the minutes of the April 24, 2006 meeting be approved as written. Motion carried unanimously.
III. Election of Secretary
It was moved and seconded that Larry Ream be appointed as Secretary of the Graduate Council for 2006-07. Motion carried unanimously.
IV. Report of the Dean (J. Thomas)
The Graduate Council operates through four standing committees. These committees and their 2006-07 chairs are: Policies Committee (L. Ream, Chair), Membership Committee (J. Petrick, Chair), Student Affairs Committee (Bobbe Gray, Chair), and Research Committee (no chair selected to date). Committee members were listed.
The graduate enrollment headcount was reviewed covering the past five years, 2001-2006. While the headcount fluctuated during this period, it was noted that although graduate headcount decreased slightly, graduate credit hours increased by about 20%. This is attributed to having more full time graduate students due to Graduate Tuition Scholarships and larger doctoral programs.
As a result of the NCA self study, WSU has been given blanket approval to deliver new on-line degree programs. However, these must still go through an internal process including review and approval by the Policies Committee. International programs (delivered in another country) still only have site specific and program specific authorization. New sites and new degree program offerings must still be approved by NCA.
Electronic thesis and dissertations (EDTs) are required as of Fall 2006, with three being submitted thus far for the fall quarter. A Thesis and Dissertation Preparation Workshop is scheduled for November 1, 2006.
Three meetings of the Graduate Council are scheduled for this academic year with others to be scheduled as needed.
V. Reports by Invited Guests
James Sayer, Faculty President: J. Sayer expressed his appreciation to J. Thomas on his leadership in keeping the Graduate Council a constant in the University's effectiveness and efficiency and keeping the Faculty Senate updated over the years. NCA was very complimentary of the Council and the ongoing functions it provides for the University.
VI. Committee Reports
- Policies Committee (L. Ream)
The Committee met October 9, 2006 and discussed and acted upon the following issues:
A Program Development Plan (PDP) for a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) to be offered jointly with the University of Toledo was proposed by the College of Nursing and Health. This is a professional doctorate which will be required for licensure by 2015. Following discussion, the Committee unanimously recommended the PDP to the Council. The PDP planning document was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved by the Council.
A PDP for a Ph.D. titled Sustainable Renewal in the Helping Professions was proposed by the College of Education and Human Services. Following discussion of the concept of "sustainable renewal" and of the need for the program, this planning document was also recommended to the Council and approved unanimously.
The Faculty Senate will be informed of these planning efforts and the PDPs will be sent to the Regents Advisory Committee on Graduate Study (RACGS) for a preliminary statewide review. Meanwhile, the proposers will begin work on full proposals and Reading Committees will be appointed to guide the process. The full proposals will be informed by the RACGS review.
The Policies Committee reviewed a proposal for a new M.Ed./M.A. Classroom Teacher Concentration in Early Childhood Intervention Specialist. The concentration was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved by the Committee.
The Committee discussed the checking of prerequisites for graduate courses and how this might be accomplished through Banner. While some Colleges would prefer to implement this check, others feel it could be problematic. It may be particularly difficult to check for undergraduate prerequisites to graduate courses. It was suggested that prerequisites be published in course catalog descriptions rather than being input to the prerequisite field in Banner. L. Ream asked the Committee to let him know of any other ideas.
The Committee also reported on its June, 2006 meeting.
At the April 24 meeting of the Graduate Council, a concern was voiced in regard to a title change of a Counseling program substituting the word Organizational for Industrial. Following discussion, the Committee reaffirmed the title change.
The Committee also approved a proposal allowing successful completion of the Department of English Language and Literatures LEAP Program as an acceptable alternative for a TOEFL score for international graduate admission.
- Membership Committee (J. Petrick)

|Liam Anderson
|Political Science/CoLA
|Mary Ellen Bargerhuff

VII. G. Bernhardt, Chair of the Provost Search Committee, stated that initial provost candidate interviews will take place on Saturday. The Committee hopes to bring up to five candidates for interviews to campus beginning October 30 with the goal of making their Committee recommendation prior to Thanksgiving. Everyone is encouraged to attend the open forums to be presented by these candidates.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:15 p.m

Since our April news announcing Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 and Flex 4.5, we began with support for building mobile apps across multi-device platforms, first with Android. Today we're happy to announce updates to Flash Builder and the Flex framework that now offer support for iPhone, iPad and BlackBerry PlayBook. As a result, developers can quickly build and distribute apps through the Android Market, BlackBerry App World and Apple App Store using one tool chain, programming language and code base—a first for developers!
Our own Flash Platform evangelist Serge Jespers shows us what "one tool, one framework, one codebase" means, and demonstrates an app developed for different devices using Flash Builder and Flex:
Developers from different industries such as government, entertainment and gaming have been using Flash Builder 4.5 and Flex 4.5 to help them reduce development time and the cost of delivery to build some pretty amazing apps across the major platforms:
– Politifact.com: A project of the St. Petersburg Times and a 2009 Pulitzer Prize winner, the PolitiFact.com team extended its website content into a mobile app available across leading app stores. The PolitiFact.com app helps readers find truth in politics by investigating statements by members of Congress, the President, lobbyists and other Washington D.C. personalities.
– Netflix Queue Manager: Using Adobe AIR 2.5, Flash Builder 4.5.1 and the Flex framework, RIA design and development group UnitedMindset created the Netflix Queue Manager, which allows users to connect with and manage their Netflix queue across devices and features intuitive search capabilities. With success in the Android Market—over 340,000 downloads since October 2010—the app is coming soon to BlackBerry AppWorld and the Apple App Store.
– Mr. Mixit and Pyramix: Web design and development agency HD Interactive first released Pyramix, a word game combining the strategy of Cryptoquote and the simplicity of Boggle, and Mr. Mixit, a spin-based matching game where you mix record labels against the clock, to Apple's App Store. The new updates allowed HD Interactive to use the same code to deliver the apps to Android Market and BlackBerry AppWorld in record time.
– Muni Tracker: Are you from the San Francisco Bay Area or maybe planning to visit? This app helps you track locations, arrival times and bookmark your favorite stops and lines for Muni (San Francisco Municipal Railway), San Francisco's public transit system. The developer was able to quickly and easily port this original Android app to iOS.
– Conqu is an easy to use yet powerful task management tool designed to help conquer an e-mail inbox and get things done. Using Flash Builder 4.5, the developer, AsFusion, was able deploy the app on multiple platforms with minimal effort. They were also able to reduce the time to develop the app since there was no need to debug different code for each individual platform.
Android and iOS users can also check out these apps from the Adobe Mobile Showcase at m.adobeshowcase.com. As always, we'd love to see and hear what you're creating with our technology – whether it's mobile, web or desktop apps. In fact, we encourage you to upload videos about what you're building to the Flash Builder 4.5 Widget to share and even vote on projects from around the community!

DELAND, Fla. – Jacksonville University wrapped up a two-game Atlantic Sun road swing on Monday with an 81-72 loss at Stetson. The Dolphins fall to 2-2 in the A-Sun and 7-10 overall as they head back home to host Kennesaw State on Thursday and Mercer on Saturday at Veterans Memorial Arena.
"We have to mature as a group and grow up fast because we have two more games this week waiting for us back home," said Head Coach Cliff Warren.
Junior Keith McDougald (Jacksonville, Fla.) led JU with 15 points on 6-9 shooting while senior Glenn Powell (Deerfield Beach, Fla.) recorded his third straight double digit game adding 13 points and seven rebounds. Junior Javon Dawson (Cordele, Ga.) posted a career best 12 rebounds with nine points in 21 minutes.
Down by as many as eight points midway through the first half, JU pulled even at 23-23 on an old fashioned three-point play from Dawson. Freshmen Jarvis Haywood eventually gave the Dolphins their first lead of the game at 29-28 as the game remained tight for the next four minutes.
Stetson (5-10; 2-2) would later take control by using a 17-4 run than spanned halftime to secure a 49-36 advantage with 16:36 left to play.
JU's full court pressure started to wear at the Hatters allowing the Dolphins to trim the margin back down to single digits following two free throws from freshman Kordario Fleming (Memphis, Tenn.) and one from senior Russell Powell (Newnan, Ga.) with less than four minutes remaining.
Stetson's Chris Perez answered the JU threat however scoring three of his game high 23 points on the other end. The Dolphins would close the gab to within six in the closing seconds before the Hatters sealed the win at the foul line.

ISO 4217 code for the Canadian dollar. The dollar traces its antecedents to the dollar of the Province of Canada, which was issued in 1858 and gradually adopted by the territories of British North America as they formed modern Canada over the course of the next century. The Canadian dollar was pegged to the United States dollar at various values, often at par, until 1950. The currency began to float that year, though it briefly reverted to the U.S. dollar peg between 1962 and 1970.

Public Company Information:
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Charles Schwab Corporation released its Monthly Market Activity Report today. Company highlights for the month of August 2010 include:
- Net new assets entering the company by new and existing clients in August 2010 totaled $4.2 billion.
- Total client assets were $1.394 trillion as of month-end August, up 6% from August 2009 and down 2% from July 2010.
- Client daily average trades were 346.7 thousand in August 2010, down 16% from August 2009 and down 5% from July 2010.
CFO Joe Martinetto commented, "Our ongoing focus on building stronger relationships continues to resonate with our clients and helped to sustain growth in our business even in August, when client trading and asset flows slowed in keeping with vacation season and signs of a potential pause in the economic recovery. We currently expect that the company's third quarter earnings will be comparable to the $205 million we earned in the second quarter, prior to including the effect of two recent developments. First, we expect that our third quarter results will include a pre-tax charge of approximately $20 million relating to our Invest First and WorldPoints Visa credit cards, as we are ending our sponsorship due to challenging card industry economics. Additionally, the company has chosen to cover all losses recognized by Schwab money market mutual funds as a result of their investments in a single structured investment vehicle that defaulted in 2008. Our third quarter results will include a pre-tax charge of approximately $130 million in connection with this action. Our clients currently hold $154 billion in money fund balances at Schwab."
Mr. Martinetto concluded, "With interest rates and equity market valuations remaining at or above their year-to-date lows, our operating performance continues to recover. We expect that third quarter revenues will show a year-over-year increase for the first time since the second quarter of 2008, and we are poised to resume sequential improvement in revenues and earnings as soon as interest rates and equity valuations stabilize or improve."
The SMART report can be viewed with its accompanying 12-month data at www.aboutschwab.com/investor/financials/financial_reports.html.

Monroe County has the largest backlog of problem mortgages among 26 Pennsylvania counties conducting mortgage diversion courts. An all-day event Friday matches the backlog of struggling homeowners with counselors.
Monroe County has the largest backlog of problem mortgages among 26 Pennsylvania counties conducting mortgage diversion courts, but officials are doing something to catch up.
The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency and two private nonprofit industry groups are sponsoring a free all-day workshop Friday at East Stroudsburg University for people in danger of losing their homes.
Homeowners are encouraged to bring their mortgage documents, proof of incomes and any foreclosure notices they may have received.
"The session is to attract anyone who is falling behind on their mortgage, even those who aren't in foreclosure yet," Monroe County Judge Arthur Zulick said.
Counselors from five nonprofit housing counseling groups will be on hand to work with the homeowners, a first step in approaching lenders about revising loan terms.
Other financial workshops also will be held at the ESU Innovation Center.
The special court, formed two years ago so homeowners could speak directly with lending officials who have the power to change loan terms, has a backlog of 300 cases.
This means homeowners have to wait five months before seeing a representative of the only counseling agency doing the free mortgage intervention work.
Starting Friday, five regional nonprofit housing counseling agencies will be available to clear the backlog.
The counseling groups will work together so counselors are available five days a week for the next year at the Monroe County Bar Association office in Stroudsburg.
The Monroe County case backlog was discovered during a survey of the 26 special mortgage diversion courts, said Michelle Lewis, president of the American Society of Certified Housing Executives.
"Once we found out about this backlog we talked to PHFA, and PHFA came to the rescue," Lewis said. "It is extremely high," Lewis said of Monroe County's foreclosure case backlog, "and if it is not the highest rate based on the population, it is definitely within the top five."
"We're not aware there is this kind of significant backlog in the other counties we're looking at," added Terri Redmond, the state Housing Finance Agency's education manager. "This (counseling) event is unique."
Counselors will be available Friday to work individually with homeowners.
PHFA officials will talk about its state housing finance programs.
There will be workshops on ways to reduce housing costs, including energy conservation.
The intent of the court diversion program is to intercede so homeowners are able to speak directly to lending executives who have authority to negotiate new loan terms, Zulick said.
In a traditional foreclosure action, attorneys representing large national lenders usually aren't authorized to consider loan modifications.
Housing counselors are quite knowledgeable about the mortgage process, said Jim Parks, also with the American Society of Certified Housing Executives.
"They know how to speak the language and talk in a way that's not adversarial and move to solutions," Parks said.
Officials encourage homeowners who are under water in their mortgages — owing more than the home is worth in the current market — to attend the session, even if they are current in their payments.

Zumba instructor accused of prostitution had Hallmark-style moments with son, friend says
KENNEBUNK, Maine (AP) — People who know the dance instructor accused of turning her Zumba studio into a brothel in Kennebunk, Maine, say there's more to her than the criminal charges.
They describe Alexis Wright as an honors student who attended college and ran dance classes for the local parks and recreation program. She also hosted charity events benefiting Toys for Tots and breast cancer research.
For residents in Kennebunk, the criminal case has been evolving in slow motion, with police releasing more names of accused clients every two weeks.
Wright, who's 29, has pleaded not guilty to more than 100 counts including prostitution and invasion of privacy. Her business partner, insurance agent Mark Strong Sr., has pleaded not guilty to more than 50 misdemeanor counts.

Older Males
The handicap division is a total crap shoot this year and the road to the 2011 Breeders' Cup Classic yielded another surprise when Flat Out (113 BSF) dusted his rivals in Belmont's G2 Suburban on July 2.
Awesome Gem beat him in the Lone Star 'Cap and Pool Play bested him in the Stephen Foster but the Suburban belonged to Flat Out. He sat a wide stalking trip and loved the sweeping turns at Big Sandy, leaving quality rivals Rodman and Hymn Book in his wake.
Was the Suburban for real or was it more of a case of Flat Out taking advantage of an oval that typically flatters his wide rallying style? We will find out more about his true talents at Saratoga this summer.
The G1 Hollywood Gold Cup will be run on July 9 and Twirling Candy is the marquee name. He meets the likes of Big Cap 1-2 finishers Game On Dude and Setsuko, along with defending champ Awesome Gem.
Impressive G1 Met Mile hero Tizway will try to stretch his speed nine furlongs in the G1 Whitney at Saratoga on Aug 6, and he may meet Pool Play and recent WinStar/Pletcher purchase Sidney's Candy.
Overseas runner Await The Dawn reportedly has his sights set on the BC Classic for Aidan O'Brien, and he has dirt influences in his pedigree with Giant's Causeway on top and Dixieland Band on the dam side.
The sophomores are much like their older counterparts as the keep taking turns beating each other. I have been covering the 3-year-old-crop of 2011 on Pick 6 Blog since last September and posted my latest Top 10 list on June 29th.
The 3-year-old division could get a much needed shot in the arm if Uncle Mo makes it all the way back from illness. He will head to Saratoga next week for Todd Pletcher and if everything goes perfect he could show up in the Aug 27 King's Bishop.
Some late blooming 3yo's to watch include Bold Warrior, Raison d'Etat, and Bob Baffert's Smash, who goes in Saturday's G2 Carry Back at Calder.

Come Friday, Facebook will let its more than 900 million users vote for their privacy.
The Menlo Park-based social network said it will let users vote on updates the company made to its privacy policies just before it went public last month.
The changes made it possible for Facebook to open its users to ads on websites outside of the network.
Facebook will also include a new section explaining how it uses information. This is the second time that Facebook has turned to its users over privacy issues.
"In the few short years since we announced this unprecedented process, Facebook has grown from 200 million people into a global community of more than 900 million," Elliot Schrage, Facebook's vice president of communications, public policy and marketing, wrote in a statement. "We've also grown from a small private company into a newly public one. Back in 2009, the site governance process enabled us to be proactive in establishing a system of accountability for the policy changes we considered. Since then, our growing relationship with regulators around the world has created a new layer of accountability with respect to our practices and policies."
Users can visit a special site Facebook has set up where users can vote on the new policies until June 8.
Facebook to Let Users Vote on Privacy
Come Friday, Facebook will let its more than 900 million users vote for their privacy.

South African police have arrested a 25-year-old man suspected of attempting to smuggle 220 diamonds out of the country in his digestive tract through Johannesburg's main airport.
The Lebanese national bound for Dubai had swallowed $2.25 million worth of polished diamonds before he was stopped before a security checkpoint at Africa's biggest airport and then relieved of his concealed cargo, police said.
"We used laxatives to remove the diamonds," police spokesman Paul Ramaloko said on Thursday.
The man will appear in court on Thursday. In March, police arrested another Lebanese national who was attempting to smuggle $1.69 million worth of diamonds out of South Africa.

By David Averill and Mike Bowers
Leigh Stubbs has now served 10 years of a 44 year sentence based largely on the faulty testimony from discredited forensic odontologist Dr. Michael West. West testified in this trial as a multi-disciplinary expert and was allowed to give his opinion in bitemark analysis, toolmark comparison, video enhancement, crime scene reconstruction, gynecological injuries and psychological criminal motive. Of course he reminds the jury every chance he can get that he is qualified in all of these areas, and that he has lectured to the FBI, Scotland Yard and throughout China.
Stubbs is now being represented by the Innocence Project who are now petitioning for a new trial. This is yet another case that has wreaked havoc with the judicial system by offering West's bogus expert opinion where he is once again the only one able to see the evidence that he describes. The prosecutor still used West's testimony in this case despite West having been thoroughly discredited by every major forensic organization in the world. Not to mention the numerous cases that are adding up where innocent men have been wrongfully convicted of crimes that they did not commit due to his faulty testimony.
Bitemark Evidence
Dr. West narrates his first video as he records his "body scan" to document the examination. The video shown below is a clip taken from the right hip where West makes no mention of recognizing a bitemark. In court when asked why there was no mention of the bitemark, he testifies that "I missed it on the first day but realized that there was a bite after looking at some polaroid photographs that I had taken."
In court, West describes the alleged bitemark on the hip as "not a prototypical bite mark in appearance….it has fused components from the swelling" yet he is able to give it his strongest opinion, "100 percent sure that it is a bitemark." West cautions the jury that "I must admit to a novice, this may not appear to be a bitemark by any means." In other words, West can only see it as a bitemark.
In his second video taken 5 days later on March 15th the area that West says "that the bitemark is no longer visible due to the nurses taking such good care of the victim and using lotion on her skin." West then proceeds to tamper with the evidence by actually imbedding a stone cast of Leigh Stubbs teeth into the comatose victims hip resulting in a fabricated bitemark on the skin of the victim.
West comes to the conclusion that the bitemark that he sees on the hip is from the teeth of Leigh Stubbs since "the corner of tooth #7 has a little sharp area, very minute… on the skin notice this red area, we have petechia….this is the area caused by the little notch on her tooth #7…..that dot, that dot and that dot represent three teeth." "Its a pretty good relationship there, it falls short of what we need to make 100 percent." "There is a high degree of correlation between those teeth and this injury on this girl's leg". Dr. West submitted a West bitemark Report that contained two paragraphs.
Enhancement and Interpretation of Surveillance Video
The surveillance video was recorded at the motel the three girls rented for the night. The video was brought to Dr. Wests attention by the Detective in the case who thought he could see a body being removed from a toolbox in the bed of the pickup truck. Dr. West agreed that he could also see the body and said he could enhance the video to make it more visible. The police department had sent the video to the FBI for analysis and enhancement but were told that nothing could be done with the video. Dr. West then saves the day by "enhancing" the video and despite admitting that "we have a very poor imaging system…that is not designed to take high definition pictures….but probably the most important problem we have with the video is the tape had been recorded over and over and over….its about worn out." No problem for Dr. West though, "what I see isn't what everybody else sees, there are interpretations." Don't worry about your eyes if you cannot see anything on this enhanced video, remember that West is usually the only one to see what he is talking about.
West Interpretation of Video
"All the action we're interested in now takes place between this truck and that light…as fate would have it this is where the tape had a wrinkle or started messing up…what I'm saying happens next in this clip. You've got to imagine her scooping her up and holding that head, with the hair to the side, closing the lid, turning around, stepping off the truck and going into the room."
Amazing action since the timeline is 16 seconds for Leigh Stubbs to leave the motel door, get to the truck, lift the lid of a toolbox and pull a 120 pound limp unconcious person out from within a toolbox in 1-2 seconds and then haul her out of the back of the pickup stepping down and into the motel room, all within 16 seconds. It only gets more bizarre as Dr. West now recreates the crime scene. West cannot explain how come when the crime lab looked for blood, hair and fiber inside the toolbox they found none that belonged to the victim. They also found no blood on the carpet or in the bathtub of the motel room. West tried to explain that the toolbox could be washed out with water and chlorine. Problem is that they found other hair and fiber inside the box that did not belong to the victim. So much for his crime scene re-creation abilities.
Toolmark Testimony
Dr. West looked at the wound on the head of the victim and thought it looked like the latch that was on the toolbox. And when he looked at the hip where he found the bitemark he also found a toolmark in the shape of a latch from the toolbox. He measured the distance from the head wound and the hip wound and found 37 inches. You guessed it, the distance from the latches on the tool box is 37 inches. A forensic pathologist testified that the wound to the head could not have been made by closing of the lid on her head. The wound was consistent with a blunt object. Read more of the trial testimony if you are interested. I will include pdf copies of the trial at the end of this post.
Unfortunately the police did not do a thorough investigation, so the answers to many questions will never be known. What is known is that Leigh Stubbs dentition cannot be associated with what Dr. West describes as a bitemark on the hip of the victim.

M3K Beauty is a newcomer to the skin care industry, but they have proven if you have a great product you can compete with the big boys in what has become a multi-billion dollar industry. M3K has quickly garnered attention from various magazines as one of the must have products and to give you a chance to try out M3K, they have teamed up with Splash Magazines Worldwide to give three lucky readers each a bottle of anti-aging face and hand cream.
It is no secret why the skin care industry is a billion dollar industry, first off most adults as they age are looking for anything that is remotely close to the fountain of youth and anti-aging cream is as close as you are going to get without some type of injection or surgery. The second reason is the cost! Go into any beauty store and you will see bottles of anti-aging cream that go upwards of $100, and often times more. M3K is different in price while giving you an amazing product.
A comparable anti-aging cream would be on the store shelves for around $120, but M3K wants to give everyone the ability to afford their product and won't sell it for more than $39 a bottle. Good like trying to find anything close to M3K anti-aging cream for that price. The M3K face cream contains; Matrixyl 3000, L-Carnosine, Hyaluronic Acid, DMAE Bitartate and Alpha Lipoic. Putting all of those ingredients into a single product tells you of the quailty that you will get from M3K.
M3K Beauty launched at the Battle of the Strands Event in Las Vegas in October, 2012, what better place to launch a skin care line. M3K has become a favorite of celebrities as they were named Official Skin Care of the Latin Grammy's, CMA Awards, 2013 Grammy Awards and Oscars. M3K has gifted some of the most beautiful people in Hollywood including; Charlize Theron and Halle Berry. Since then M3K has been voted "Summer Must Have" or "Hottest New Trend" and given 10/10 by Elle, Cosmopolitan, Ladies Home Journal (twice) Gay Socialites MAgazine, In STyle, OK Magazine and the New Yorker.
The motto at M3K Beauty is "Sometimes it has to be about more than just profit!" They take that motto to heart as they donate ten percent of all profit into their Infinite Giving Group project. Infinite Giving will create a unique project never before seen in the USA that will turn around thousands of lives of men and women with children who find themselves homeless. They will fully support those families for 12 months, making sure children are safely back in school and have all their emotional and physical needs met. Mom or dad will then participate in a program that includes re-grooming, a new wardrobe and retraining in a nominated employment field- with full mentoring and support for the duration of the project.
To enter for a chance to win one of the three gift packs from M3K Beauty, you must follow @M3KBeauty and @SplashMagWW on twitter and retweet the following:
RT and follow @M3KBeauty & @SplashMagWW for a chance to #Win anti-aging face and hand cream - 3 #winners http://www.lasplash.com/publish/Beauty/m3-k-beauty-anti.php
The three winners will be chosen from all valid entries on September 11th, 2013. Contest is open to residents of the United States and all decisions by Splash Magazines Worldwide are final.

The Bachelor 16 ended its weirdest season ever with worst-ever Ben Flajnik doing what spoilers said he'd do and proposing to Courtney Robertson–and then breaking up with her, and then getting back together. While Ben gave back the engagement ring on After the Final Rose, they seemed distant, and I can't imagine that a final break-up announcement is that far away. Surprise.
Part of the blame, as always, lies on the series, which seems to ensure that couples will break up by keeping them apart for months and months. That was exacerbated this time by Ben watching Courtney on TV and wondering just why no one had ever warned him about who he was really dating. Ben was as contradictory and confusing as always, saying that while the show filmed, "I wasn't being tricked, I wasn't being fooled." But why break up then?
Ben apologized for abandoning Courtney while the show has aired, but swore "on my father's grave … I haven't cheated on Courtney," and said tabloid images that suggested otherwise were "past photos" and "friends from San Francisco." And Courtney, as tabloids reported, was ever-supportive, going out and trying on wedding dresses to try to deflect tabloid attention from Chris and/or get more attention. Chris Harrison summed it up well: "You guys clearly are very weird."
Ben's mother and sister actually liked Courtney, and the whole two-hour (TWO. HOURS. STAB. TV.) finale worked toward his inevitable rejection of Lindzi, who wasn't exactly the loser, nor did she seem like a significantly better option. After Ben rejected her by telling her he was in love with her–nice move, dude–she got really pathetically desperate and said, "If things don't work out, call me?"
Ugh. For The Daily Beast, I've run down a few reasons why this season was so horrific, from emotional abuse to Ben's hair to Ben. But mostly it's Ben.

I've created a plugin that does two things to the original weapons-in-hand graphics for Marathon 2 and Marathon Infinity:
- A different looking muzzle flash, featuring blended edges.
- Motion blur on certain frames.
Since Aleph One has to switch back and forth between reading from a plugin and reading from a shapes file, all while in the middle of a sequence (such as firing or reloading), is there any potential for slowdown or any other kind of drawback?
Also, I decided not to generate mipmaps with the dds files due to the tiny nature of the default graphics. Any drawback to that?
I've uploaded a preview featuring just the magnum.
Maybe you guys could tell me if anything looks off with the dds files and/or mml, since I'm no expert with either.
Edit: Project complete. Link added.
