Andy Ruddock (Monash University) and Brendan Keogh (RMIT University)
This seminar addresses an important question: should media effects and game studies researchers collaborate with each other? Almost a decade ago, Henry Jenkins challenged scholars to transcend the common sense position that those who study media can be divided neatly into two camps – those who think media violence is pernicious, and those who believe this violence, and the people who enjoy it, are misunderstood. For instance, gaming communities have taken a step in the latter direction in recent times, complaining about commercial ties between the video game and arms industries.
Yet, significant differences remain between media effects and game studies regarding how gaming and gamers are conceived. In this debate, Andy Ruddock presents the case for seeing gaming from the perspective of cultivation analysis, while Brendan Keogh advocates the benefits of exploring games as texts.
Andy Ruddock is author of Youth and Media (Sage), Investigating Audiences (Sage) and Understanding Audiences (Sage). His essays on Cultivation Analysis and Cultural Studies have been published in a number of anthologies, including Morgan, Shanahan and Signorielli's Living with Television Now (Peter Lang).
Brendan Keogh is a PhD candidate at RMIT whose research is concerned primarily with how we experience and understand videogame play. He is the author of Killing is Harmless and a freelance videogame critic for a variety of Australian and International outlets.
Presented by the Research Unit in Media Studies (RUMS).

Adam Rayner stars as "Barry Al-Fayeed" - An American pediatrician, Barry lives in Pasadena, California with his wife Molly and their two children, high-schoolers Emma and Sammy. Unbeknownst to anyone but his immediate family, Barry is the son of a despised Middle Eastern dictator. After a self-imposed 20-year exile in America, Barry finally agrees to return to his homeland of Abbudin for his nephew's wedding. Once there, he finds the situation both politically and personally volatile, with opposition to his tyrannical father and brother worsening. Determined to make it through the wedding and back to the sanity and safety of the States, Barry is unprepared for his father's desire for him to step in and lead the family and the nation.
Since the start of his acting career, British actor Adam Rayner has been involved in a diverse range of critically acclaimed productions spanning television, film and theatre.
In 2013, Rayner moved to New York to shoot the feature film Tracers, in which he plays "Miller" in a story that follows "Cam" (Taylor Lautner), a New York City bike messenger who is wanted by the mafia. The film is slated for release later this year.
Rayner was last seen on television in the BBC/Discovery Channel co-production, The Whale. Shot in Malta, Rayner plays "Captain George Pollard", a man helming his first voyage as captain of the 18th-century whaler 'The Essex'. Also starring Jonas Armstrong and David Gyasi, The Whale was broadcast on BBC1 in December 2013. Also in 2013, Rayner starred as "Simon Templar" in the pilot remake of the popular TV series, The Saint.
In 2012, Rayner took on the male lead role of "Aidan Marsh" in the BBC1/HBO co-production Hunted, starring opposite Melissa George. Written by Frank Spotnitz (The X-Files), the eight-part spy drama series was produced by the creators of Spooks, and followed highly skilled operatives working for a private intelligence firm who don't know who they can trust. The series premiered in October on BBC1 in the UK and on Cinemax in the US.
In 2010, Rayner appeared in the popular TNT series, Hawthorne, as "Dr. Steve Shaw" for two seasons opposite Jada Pinkett-Smith. He previously starred as the male lead in the primetime BBC1 drama series Mistresses as lawyer "Dominic Montgomery". Rayner has also appeared in a number of popular television series including: At Home with the Braithwaites, Vincent, The Line of Beauty, Doctor Who, Waking the Dead, Sensitive Skin and the BAFTA Award-winning comedy Miranda as "Dr. Gail", Miranda Hart's love interest.
Rayner's notable feature film credits include: Alek Keshishian's Love and Other Disasters in 2006 with Brittany Murphy, Matthew Rhys and Catherine Tate and Dan Reed's revenge thriller Closure in 2007.
Rayner has also appeared on stage: This is Our Youth at the Garrick Theatre, where he played drug dealer "Dennis Ziegler", originally played by Matt Damon on Broadway. Rayner has worked numerous times with the Royal Shakespeare Company, including Marianne Elliott's 2006 Much Ado About Nothing in which he played "Claudio", and Nancy Meckler's 2006 Romeo and Juliet in which he played "Tybalt". Additionally, in 2004, he appeared on stage as "Jack Absolute" in The Rivals at the Bristol Old Vic, directed Rachel Kavanagh.
Rayner studied English at Durham University before securing a place at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

NBC News special correspondent Tom Brokaw revealed on Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of cancer than affects the white blood cells in bone marrow.
The 74-year-old former anchor of "NBC Nightly News" is currently contributing to the network's Winter Olympics coverage in Sochi.
"With the exceptional support of my family, medical team and friends, I am very optimistic about the future and look forward to continuing my life, my work and adventures still to come," he said.
According to NBC News, Brokaw was diagnosed with the cancer at the Mayo Clinic in August.

NBC News reporter Luke Russert, son of Brokaw's longtime colleague Tim Russert, offered words of support on Twitter, writing, "@tombrokaw is one tough cowboy, no doubt he'll give this a helluva fight."

Addition of new plastics will divert more waste from landfill
Mayor Jerry Abramson today announced that the city will expand plastic products accepted in all of its recycling programs. The new plastics - labeled #3 through #7 - will be accepted in curbside pickup in the Urban Services District, condominium collections, and at staffed or unstaffed drop-off locations.
"Citizens now can recycle five new plastics that won't be going to the landfill," Abramson said. "This makes recycling more convenient and takes the guesswork out of which plastics are recyclable and which are not."
Plastics containers, labeled #3 through #7, include margarine and yogurt containers, ketchup, mustard, syrup and medicine bottles, plastic plates and cups and CD cases. Residents need to simply check the container: if it has the recycling symbol with those numbers inside it is acceptable.
In the past, the city accepted only plastics #1 and #2. Those items included detergent dispensers and soda or shampoo bottles.
"It's our belief that adding these new items to our recycling program will increase participation because it makes the process easier for our residents," Abramson said.
Other communities that have added the additional plastics to their recycling programs have seen the recycling of plastics increase by anywhere from 10 to 30 percent.
Promoting Community-Wide Recycling
Louisville launched a pilot recycling program in 1990. Last year, 15,724 tons of materials were recycled through city programs. Recycling has increased by 18 percent across the board this year when compared to the same period last year. So far this year, 12,886 tons have been recycled.
Additional information about Louisville Metro's recycling opportunities can be found by phoning MetroCall 311 or by visiting www.LouisvilleKy.gov/solidwaste.
In the past, Louisville Metro has accepted plastics #1 and #2. Those items include detergent dispensers and soda or shampoo bottles. Look for information in your recycling bin on the new items you can now recycle! Click here to download the brochure. (418KB PDF)

- Always good.OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/29/2014Every time in Vegas we end up back here. Good food. Sitting 'outside' in the casino is lively and fun and great for people watching. Prices are moderate compared to the rest of Vegas (we were staying at Caesar's....) A great little find!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surprisingly Good for VegasDecentDined on 9/26/2014We have been to Il Fornaio in Palo Alto many times. Always great. So when we were looking for an Italian restaurant near where we were going to a show at the MGM, we found Il Fornaio across the street at NY NY and booked it, but weren't expecting it to be as good given its location. However, we were pleasantly surprised. Excellent food, excellent service and nice patio seating made for a great meal and ready to enjoy the show.Special Features:
- simple and deliciousJacqVIPDined on 9/23/2014I ordered a gluten-free pasta with tomato marinara - it was simple and delicious. Quick service, cozy atmosphere. Server brought out some vegan sorbet with a candle for my birthday - nice touch :) Overal, simple and elegant. Unfussy food.Special Features:
- Thanks Neighbor!rettakDined on 9/22/2014When my neighbor found out I was going to Las Vegas he recommended Il Fornaio. The menu while not very large has a great mix and variety. As an appetizer had the caprese salad. It was tasty and fresh. For my entree had a seafood platter from the grilled section and it had a variety of seafood from salmon to calamari. All was cooked to perfection. The only negative was I was seated 'outside' which is really not outside but is in the open adjacent to the casino. So it was a bit noisy. If I had realized how distracting it would be would have requested to be seated in the dining room. As for the service it was attentive, friendly and Italian!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surprisingly disappointingBillnStefDined on 9/21/2014Reservation was at 5:45 but we arrived at 5:30 and we're seated without delay. So far so good but things went downhill from there... 1) First thing we were told was that two entres weren't available (one of which I had saw and wanted on their menu online before making a reservation) which I thought odd since it was an early dinner. 2). Ordered a salad with my entre but all entres were served before I got the salad. 3). The salmon was very disappointing. No, I would not go back.
- Not worth the moneyOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/19/2014We were a group of five, celebrating my daughters 21st birthday. We ordered the Calamaretti Fritti to start, it was not seasoned at all and therefore very, very bland. We ordered two pasta dishes off of the "specials" menu. Both were very dry, and flavorless. Where was the garlic? Where was the olive oil? For the amount of money spent I wanted the meal to be amazing. We also ordered two pasta dishes off the regular menu, Pennoni Alla Vodka (my daughter said this dish tasted as if it had been sitting around ) I DO NOT recommend Il Fornai at all. Instead go to the Irish Pub - that food was amazing!
- Very DisappointedGrahamDined on 9/19/2014Waited 45 minutes for our food to arrive. Once it arrived the food was cold. Spoke to the manager about the issue. Didn't bother to apologize or explain. If anything he was trying to defend his staff. I should have known when I walked into this place at 1:30 there were only two tables with people. In the past this restaurant was always full of people. My advise to people who wanna go there...Don't!!! There are a million more great restaurants on the strip.Special Features:
- Four cheese omeletLovefoodDined on 9/10/2014We love this restaurant. The four cheese omelet is delicious. We also had a side of bacon and mimosas. Our waiter, Jason, was fabulous. We went two days in a row and requested to sit in his area. He remembered us and our order.Special Features:
- Dining out at New York new york....Benny1234Dined on 9/9/2014Made reservations via my iPad, easy and convenient! Seating was good and our waiter, (female) was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed our food, good menu. No one rushed us, it was a great leisurely time to catch up with our friend who was visiting from out of town. We just moved here permanently and look forward to future visits to your restaurant. Linda & William BulpinSpecial Features:
- food was okkingkoopaDined on 9/7/2014The food was good, not great, but good. Service was friendly. Kitchen staff was speedy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food!! Great Service!!GxmoreDined on 9/6/2014We made a reservation for 15.. We had a fabulous private room! The food was delicious well priced and the service was fantasticSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great diningOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/5/2014The wait staff was attentive and polite. The food was great tasting with plenty of it. The wine list had something I don't usually see in restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, location not so muchOanaVIPDined on 8/31/2014The restaurant's patio overlooks the gaming floor so it's noisy and smokey. The inside part of the restaurant is fine. The food is good, but if you've been to other Il Foranio locations, you will be disappointed with the frigid bread. The staff is fantastic and they will warm it up for you if you ask, but I didn't think to ask. The cocktails are good and the desserts are delicious. Maybe I'm spoiled since I generally go to the Il Fornaio in Coronado that overlooks the city and the bay.
- italian gemneil2eatVIPDined on 8/17/2014while Il Fornaio is a chain it never disappoints. The food is delicious and always a very nice portion. Simple rotisserie dishes are great for the traveler trying to eat "healthy"Special Features:
- One of my favorite restaurantsKaraDined on 8/15/2014As a frequent visitor from Los Angeles, we usually end up wanting to enjoy a nice Italian dinner. The food is good and the service is excellent. I love the ambiance too; very romantic and dimly lit. This is one of my favorite places to go when I come to Vegas. They have a great wine list and the food is more or the lighter side not the heavy cheesy greasy Italian.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good mealmmbtu6Dined on 7/30/2014Il Fornaio is not what we remembered it to be. The "outdoor" space has changed and lost some of its charm. The food is decent and the service is generally good. We consider it a good value for a Vegas strip hotel restaurant, but, now after three visits probably won't be back again.

With the glass windows closed, you could not hear the crazy casino noise. Our waiter was very attentive and we loved the authentic Italian accent. The special dessert was a cannoli and it tasted just like "Noni's".Special Features:

If you are in the NYNY hotel and want Italian, I would recommend it but if you are willing to go out of the hotel then there may be other places on the strip worth checking out.Special Features:
- Good food and venue1ciaobabyDined on 6/24/2014We have eaten at the Las Vegas Il Fornaio every time we have visited Vegas. The food is very good. They have changed some things with ambiance, not for the better. There used to be a river along side the outdoor seating with a bridge for access. That created a much better separation from the people traffic in the casino.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- gingervegasgingervegasDined on 6/17/2014This was our first time dining at Il Fornaio. There were quite a few menu selections, and our groups ordered a variety of items.

It's the first day of this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed and Michael Neeves, Senior Road Tester is there, here's his first impression.
'I'm at the magnificent Goodwood Festival of Speed amongst the best collection of bikes I have ever seen at this event. I've spotted Eddie Lawson's YZR500, Aaron Slight's RVF750, Tom Sykes' ZX-10R, Sam Lowes' CBR600RR and Steve Hislop's factory Ducati to name but a few.
I have just done my first run up the famous hill climb on my BMW Park Lane S1000RR and this afternoon I will be riding Jonny Rea's factory Castrol Honda Fireblade.
The weather, atmosphere and machinery on display is as incredible as ever. It's definitely a place that every petrol-head should visit once in their life.'

Watched a bit of Goodwood on Eurosport earlier today, what is going on with Keith Heuwen's hair I couldn't quite put my finger on it, is it dye, is it a syrup or what.? A little moustache and he'd have the look of a well known Austrian bloke of the last century.

This book has the usual introduction to the basics of knitting, but also includes more detailed information on garment construction and a number of advanced techniques. It also has a great section on what to do when something goes wrong - your cable twists the wrong way, something turns out too large or too small, and other common problems.

Adopted Dogs · Happy Endings · Rainbow Bridge Memorials
Sponsored by:
Friends of Brier Goldens
From Stichez, Madison and Priya
Merry Christmas to the Senior Goldens from Santa
In memory of Shadow, Athena, and Zera
From Laura K
August 3, 2012
Monte is a returning RAGOM dog. He came into RAGOM in 2007 as a stray and was heartworm positive at that time. He went through the heartworm treatment and is now a healthy, happy boy. He is approximately 7 years old. We aren't sure what he is mixed with but he weighs 47 pounds and is 21 inches high. Monte is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations.
Monte does have one challenge and that is he marks in the house. Unfortunately nothing has worked to get rid of this behavior. Monte has to wear a belly band at all times in the house so he will need a family that will be consistent with using it. Aside from that, Monte behaves very well. He doesn't chew, get into garbage, counter surf, or any other bad behavior. He is good with other dogs and also cats. He is not a dog that wants to fetch or play much with other dogs. Monte comes when called, knows sit and down, takes treats very gently, loves to go on walks and is perfect walking on a leash. He also loves, loves, loves car rides.
It was quite apparent when Monte came into RAGOM that he was very abused at some point in his life. He would duck when a hand would come out to pet him and if you tried to step over him when he was laying down he would quickly jump out of the way. He has gotten much better with being petted and also with people moving around him but he is still watchful with any quick movements. He has never attempted to bite. Because of his abuse, Monte would do best in a home without small children as the noise and high activity would probably be very stressful for him.
Monte is a well behaved dog aside from the marking issue. He would love to have someone that can provide him with a quieter home, take him on walks and have him wear his belly band. He loves his people and is a velcro dog once he learns to trust you. Please contact your placement advisor if you would like to meet Monte.
Monte is doing great. He has been really enjoying this cooler weather. We went for a nice walk yesterday morning when it was quite cool and Monte loved going to the field where he can be let loose to run. He and resident dog, Gabby, ran all over the place sniffing all the great smells. I am sure there are bunnies, mice, and other critters that visit the field and the dogs sniff and track their paths through the grass. When we get ready to go on a walk, Monte does his happy bounce and he is so cute. Monte bounces like he is on a pogo stick - just straight up and down. He really shows his happiness.
Here is some more information about Monte:
- This is an important requirement for Monte. He needs to wear his belly band consistently while in the house.
- Monte would like daily walks to keep his weight down.
- A quieter home would be best. He does fine with children but would probably be stressed out with young children such as babies and toddlers due to the noise.
- Monte is a great size - only 45 pounds. He would do fine in a smaller house or townhouse where space is limited.
- Monte is a velcro dog. If you would like a dog that follows you around and would love to cuddle when you are relaxing, Monte would fit the bill.
Monte will be at Goldzilla from 11-2 tomorrow. Please come and see us in the Foster Parade if you would like to meet him.
Sorry it has been so long since our last update. Monte has been hanging out with our resident dog and Rufus 06-408. We all went for a walk today and boy the wind was cold! We walked down to a field that is at the end of our road and Monte ran around smelling all those bunnies and critters that live there. He doesn't go far without coming back and checking in with me. He has excellent recall so he comes whenever he hears his name. He is a very good walker on a leash too. No pulling at all. He walks right by my side and gets along great when I have all three dogs with me.
Monte is getting his winter coat. It is much thicker and longer now. I am planning to go to Bubbly Paws this week as all three dogs here need baths so they can get ready for the holidays. Hopefully it will also keep those tumbling dog hair balls away for awhile. We brush everyone quite often but having a good bath will sure help to get rid of all that loose hair.
Not much new to report about Monte. He is a very well behaved dog and loves to be with his people.
We want to send a huge "Thank you!" to Friends of Brier Goldens for sponsoring Monte. It is such a nice gift and we so appreciate your choosing Monte. RAGOM would not be able to rehome as many dogs as they do without the generous support of people like you. Thank you so much.
I will try to get some new pictures of Monte this week. He is camera shy so sometimes it can be difficult to get some good ones. We will give it a go.
Hi everyone. I wanted to let you know Monte is doing great, although I know he is getting quite tired of this winter weather that never seems to end. The dogs played in the new snow for a bit on Thursday but I think they are really wanting that green grass and sunshine to show their faces. With Foster Mom having major surgery they haven't gotten their walks in much lately so getting the ice and snow off the roads would help that situation.
Monte got a little on the chubby side this long winter so he is now in boot camp and on a diet. Once we can get out and about on our walks hopefully that bit of added weight will come off quicker. He is starting to shed so he has had some serious brushing in the last few days. He has a thick undercoat so this time of year you can usually get quite a bit brushed out. More will come once he has a bath which will hopefully happen in the next few days.
Monte surprised me this past week. He doesn't usually have much interest in toys, but the other day he walked over to the toy basket, got out a stuffed toy and took it over and placed it on his dog bed. He didn't do much with it. Just laid down with it next to him. It was kinda of funny to see him do that. I think he is even getting bored with spring being delayed. We are all getting housebound, that is for sure.
Not much else to report. Monte would love to find his forever home. Please let Placement know if you would like to meet Monte.

Three Million Dollars in Scholarships from External Sources
In recent years, IUPUI students (graduates and undergraduates) have brought nearly $3 million annually in private sector scholarships and awards with them to help pay for their education. Students can find information on such opportunities from high school guidance offices, from scholarship source books, and from the online scholarship search databases available at no charge to the public. These free connections are available from the Scholarship Central Web site. Search services have different scholarship information, so students should consult several of them. Many IUPUI students have had luck with larger search services such as FastWeb, which have efficient filters in place that eliminate scholarship entries for which students are not eligible. FastWeb even has applications for many of its scholarships available online.
Remember, students should never pay for scholarship or financial aid information!


text: content LE Magazine December 2004 The Colonoscopy Dilemma William Faloon One of the most unpleasant methods used to screen for cancer is the colonoscopy. The procedure involves food deprivation the day before, along with the use of harsh laxatives. The following day, a specialist inserts a long tube up the rectum and pushes it through the entire colon to the appendix region. A somewhat similar technique was used during the Inquisition to extract information from suspected witches. It was a highly effective method of obtaining confessions. Colon cancer treatment using colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy to remove polyps (inset). I had my last colonoscopy in September 2000. The doctors found one polyp, and that meant I was scheduled to have another colonoscopy in three years. As 2003 ended, I wondered if I really needed another colonoscopy after only three years. I was hoping I could find evidence that would let me wait five years like people without polyps do. I searched the medical literature to ascertain the ideal interval between colonoscopies. Regrettably, the medical literature revealed that even more frequent screening is the prudent course of action. The most compelling study showing the value of more frequent colonoscopies was published in the July 2, 2003, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).1 This study evaluated 9,317 people who initially had negative sigmoidoscopies. When these same people repeated the procedure just three years later, a polyp or cancerous mass was detected in 13.9% of the study subjects. Based on this finding, the doctors who conducted this study raised concern that people who waited five years between colonoscopies could develop advanced cancer. A sigmoidoscopy examines only the lower third of the colon and the rectum. The consensus today is that doctors should conduct a full colonoscopy to examine and remove polyps from the entire colon and rectum. If you are wondering why so many healthy people undergo this unpleasant procedure, a look at the grim statistics provides a persuasive argument. Cancer will kill about 563,000 Americans this year, with colorectal cancer accounting for about 57,000, or roughly 10%, of all cancer deaths.2,3 If you are a nonsmoker, your risk of lung, head and neck, pancreatic, and other cancers is significantly reduced. That makes colon cancer the type of cancer from which you are most likely to die, since the threat of contracting other cancers is so much lower. I will discuss some startling new findings about the benefits of flexible tube colonoscopies versus virtual colonoscopies later. First, however, I am going to reveal some personal details to inform members on what I had to go through to get my latest colonoscopy performed this year. While the American Cancer Society blames people for failing to take steps to detect cancer early, the fact is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to get medical procedures performed in an efficient manner. The result is that in today's busy world, few Americans are taking practical steps to detect cancer in its early, curable stages. MEDICARE NOW PAYS FOR COLONOSCOPIES Legislation passed in July 2001 provides coverage for all Medicare beneficiaries for average-risk screen-ing colonoscopy. Since that time, the number of average-risk screenings has increased from 4.6% before July 2001 to 14.2% after July 2001.4 The 14.2% figure still represents only a fraction of those Medicare beneficiaries who should have colonoscopies, which is one reason why colon cancer continues to kill about 57,000 Americans each year. The Real Agony of My Colonoscopy It is an established fact that most deaths from colorectal cancer could be avoided if more people were screened for colorectal cancers, especially high-risk individuals such as the obese and those with a family history of the disease. While I am not overweight and do not have a family history, I would feel rather stupid if I were to contract advanced colon cancer just because I did not want to be inconvenienced by a colonoscopy. The real agony, however, was dealing with the bureaucracy involved in arranging the procedure. First, there was the difficulty in getting through to the doctor's office. Lots of busy signals, voicemails, and no returned phone calls. Then there were the insurance hassles, which we have all learned to expect for just about any medical procedure. A big problem arose when the doctor insisted I first come in for a consultation, even though he had previously performed colonoscopies on me. I argued that there was no rational basis for a consultation when all I wanted was a colonoscopy. A consultation means wasted time driving to the doctor's office, sitting in the waiting room for an hour, and sitting in the examining room for an additional thirty minutes, only to be told what day to return for the colonoscopy. I suspected that the doctor would earn a bigger insurance payment by squandering my time with a worthless consultation. Despite my pleas to avoid the needless consultation, I was told it was required. I then resorted to finding a physician who had referred patients to this doctor. I convinced this physician to lobby the colonoscopy doctor to waive the consultation visit. It seemed like a significant victory when I received a call stating that I could have my colonoscopy without first wasting several hours on a needless consultation. Unfortunately, the first appointment was more than two months away, and I was already overdue for this procedure. Again, I had the other physician lobby the doctor's office to get an earlier appointment. The result was an appointment one month later. Hold the Sedatives A colonoscopy takes about 15 minutes to perform and can involve considerable pain and discomfort. That is why almost everyone is put on heavy-duty sedatives so that they are virtually asleep during the procedure. Some people insist on general anesthesia. Because I do not have the luxury of missing a day of work just because of 15 minutes of pain, I routinely undergo agonizing medical procedures with no sedation. We are, after all, aging to death. I do not believe we have a day to spare not working to eradicate the aging problem. The advantage to my avoiding sedative drugs is that I am able to jump up from the table at the end of the procedure and immediately resume a productive schedule. Doctors marvel at my insistence that no pain medication be administered. I respond that if I do not succeed in stopping aging, the agonies of aging will be a lot worse. One Polyp Found The result of my latest colon-oscopy was the discovery of one polyp, which was cut out and removed during the procedure. While this means I will face this colonoscopy ordeal again in three years, at least this is one type of cancer I do not have to worry about for now. As I related near the beginning of this editorial, a recent study revealed that 13.9% of people without any colon polyps would either have polyps or some sort of cancerous mass within the following three years. So, in reality, everyone over age 40 might consider a colonoscopy every three to five years. Based on the inconvenience, expense, and inefficiencies involved, it is no wonder that so few people undergo this procedure. Polyps are considered precancerous lesions. Some of them develop into cancer. The medical establishment does not recommend routine colonoscopies until people reach the age of 50, yet approximately 13,000 people under the age of 50 will be diagnosed with colon cancer this year.5 Most doctors are not aware that so many people under the age of 40 die of colon cancer. A surprising number of children also die of colon cancer. The reason these young adults and children so often die is that their doctors do not suspect colon cancer because they are so young. Delayed diagnosis results in sharply higher mortality. If you are obese or have a family history of the disease, you should consider having a colonoscopy, even if you are under the age of 40. TEXTBOOK DEFINITION OF A COLONOSCOPY A colonoscopy is a procedure in which a long, flexible viewing tube (a colonoscope) is threaded up through the rectum for the purpose of inspecting the entire colon and rectum and, if there is an abnormality, taking a biopsy of it or removing it. The procedure requires a thorough bowel cleansing to ensure a clear view of the lining. Source: www.medterms.com. Problems with Virtual Colonoscopy People generally do not like long tubes shoved up their rectums. As a result, CAT scan centers have opened across the US. These centers offer whole-body scans and "virtual" colonoscopies—high-speed x-ray devices that take a radiographic picture of the inside parts of your body, including the lining of your colon. Commercial companies have invested big money in these expensive x-ray devices and tout them as being as good as flexible tube colonoscopy. One drawback to virtual colonoscopies is that they expose the body to a lot of ionizing radiation. The reason that so much radiation is required is that a considerable amount of fat and water contained in the lower abdominal cavity has to be penetrated in order to get a picture of your colon. Some sources estimate that the radiation exposure from a virtual colonoscopy is equivalent to that of 500 chest x-rays (or 4.5 years of natural background radiation).6,7 Ionizing radiation damages DNA, which results in the mutation of genes that regulate cellular proliferation. Many different agents damage DNA, but the good news is that DNA has the capacity to repair and reverse most of this genomic damage. What makes ionizing radiation so dangerous is that it only takes one blast to the DNA to cause permanent gene mutation.8 That is why exposure to medical x-rays (that is, to ionizing radiation) can cause cancer. Those undergoing virtual colonoscopies to detect early-stage cancer could inadvertently be increasing their risk of future cancers because of radiation-induced gene damage. Virtual colonoscopy: colon polyposis. Another disadvantage of virtual colonoscopies is that if a polyp or other suspicious lesion is detected, then flexible tube colonoscopy has to be performed anyway. If flexible tube colonoscopy is chosen in the first place, polyps and suspicious lesions can be immediately removed and a biopsy can be done to ascertain if the mass is cancerous. A study published in the April 21, 2004, issue of JAMA compared the accuracy of conventional (flexible tube) colonoscopy to virtual (x-ray-generated image) colonoscopy in detecting polyps. The sensitivity of virtual colonoscopy was only 39% and 55% for lesions sized at least 6 millimeters and 10 millimeters, respectively. These results were significantly lower than those for conventional colonoscopy, with sensitivities of 99% and 100% for lesions sized at least 6 millimeters and 10 millimeters, respectively. In this study, virtual colonoscopy missed 2 of 8 cancers. The doctors who conducted the JAMA study concluded that virtual colonoscopy "is not yet ready for widespread clinical application…Techniques and training need to be improved."9 Based on these data, those concerned about preventing colon cancer should choose flexible tube colonoscopy every three to five years, as opposed to virtual colonoscopy.

Martin Scorsese
Au Revoir Simone
After Hours, released in 1985, is far from Martin Scorsese's greatest film—it feels a bit tossed-off—but its strange fascination persists to this day. I would wager that for a lot of people who grew up in the '80s, it was After Hours (Desperately Seeking Susan, too) that most cemented the image of downtown NYC as a strange and wonderful nocturnal wonderland of hostile eco-activists and winsome/menacing artistes that would be a fun place to spend one's twenties. What makes After Hours so remarkable is that each of its dozen or so vignettes could easily be a movie on its own—it's just so packed with stuff....
This week the NYC dream pop band Au Revoir Simone released its latest album Move In Spectrums, and with it comes an amusing music video for the song "Crazy," which, with uncanny accuracy, lovingly rejiggers the 100 or so minutes of After Hours into a tight, three-minute wordless narrative—populated entirely by women, with the exception of a brief shot of a male bouncer (I think?). (The band's name is a Pee-Wee Herman reference, so their 80s bona fides are not in doubt.)

How To Throw a Super Bowl Party Outdoors
The Horticult
When I think about a party, the last thing I want to imagine is everyone silently crowded around a television. But taking the whole Super-Bowl-watching event outdoors (surrounded by fresh air and lots of greenery) has a way of breathing new life into what might otherwise be a dull party.
Anyone not familiar with The Horticult should take this football season to get acquainted. The website, run by writer Chantal Aida Gordon and engineer Ryan Benoit, documents their adventures in horticulture and showcases their own stunning Southern California garden and greenspace. And this year, Ryan has put together a great list of tips for entertaining a crowd around a TV outside.
Even if your backyard isn't as tricked out as theirs (and really, whose is?), Ryan offers tons of advice for making the most of your space. Tips range from the technical (which cords to buy and how to hook them up) to the social (make a chalkboard for Super Bowl squares) to the culinary (serve "something fresh and plant-tastic"). Check it out and get your outdoor space in gear to watch the big game.

All I can think of is how perfectly dreadful for neighbors to have the Super Bowl blasted outdoors. Hope this idea does NOT catch on.
It's 30 degrees outside....no thanks!
It is finally over 30 degrees after three weeks of constantly freezing! Wind chills of -20! No way - I'll take another party outside, but not this one!
I don't think sports fans are capable of "silently crowding around a television" - pretty sure that the amount of hooting and hollering would cause neighbours in a mile radius to call the police... keep the party inside, thanks!!!
Great Idea and Tips! This same setup could be used for a movie night! Thanks The Horticult!
Love this outdoor set up! Also a plus living in SoCal when outdoor entertaining is conducive all year round!
