Cancer Scare a Good Thing?
Guest blogger mom-on-the-edge: A couple of months ago I caught an awful bug from my 18-month-old. I did what most mom's don't do and most men fear... I went to the doctor. A physician's assistant thought she felt a lump on the right side of my neck. She called in the doc for back up but he poo pooed her suspicions. When he left she said, "I think you should get a full physical." Something about the way she said it made me actually make an appointment. So, after twenty years of avoidance there I was in that hideous gown feeling like a voodoo doll run by someone with a vengeance.
There was that lump again. I was sent for a sonogram. Cystic colloid. A liquid filled growth in my thyroid. Verrrry common. Next step -- an FNA test. Translation: Have a needle stuck in my neck which draws out the liquid and find out if it's cancerous. The odds of it being malignant are super slim. I'm having the test next week. I'm not afraid. In fact, I think having a cancer SCARE is a good thing. It wakes you up to the possibilities and makes you appreciate your health that much more.
My husband doesn't seem concerned either. We were back fighting again this past weekend. If only the doctor could cure that pain in my neck ...
My mom had one of those. No biggie. I have had a little lump on my neck since I was a young teenager. It is actually smaller now. The doc a long time ago told me not to worry about it. Maybe if I ever get insurance I'll have it checked out again. Good Luck!
The simple cysts are almost always benign. If it refills after aspiration the, PEI injection can be used to shrink the cyst [outpatient procedure] and prevent it is reoccurrence.
This procedure is done here in CA, in Santa Monica thyroid clinic.
Excellent site. It was pleasant to me.
I bookmarked this link. Thank you for good job!
It is the coolest site, keep so!

The project "VARIOGEO" is concerned with "The geometric calculus of variations and its applications" in a wide range of fields. It will start with fundamental examples of variational problems from geometry and physics, the Bernstein problem for minimal submanifolds of Euclidean spaces, nonabelian Hodge theory as a harmonic map approach to representations of Kähler groups, and Dirac harmonic maps as a mathematical version of the nonlinear supersymmetric sigma model of quantum field theory. These examples will motivate a general regularity and rigidity theory in geometric analysis that will be based in a fundamental way on convexity properties. Convexity will then be linked to concepts of non-positive curvature in geometry, and it should lead to a general theory of duality relations and convexity. That theory will encompass the formal structures of the new calculus of variations and statistical mechanics, information theory and statistics, and mathematical population genetics in biology. Also, the connection with symmetry principles as arising in high energy theoretical physics will be systematically explored.
The mathematical theories can also be applied to material science (nonlinear elasticity), the theory of cognition (invariant pattern recognition) and implementation in neural networks, efficient representation of networks and other structured data, and bioinformatics (population based concepts for DNA sequence comparison).
VARIOGEO is supported by the ERC Advanced Investigator Grant ERC-2010-AdG_20100224, Grant Agreement Number 267087.

- José M. Gracia Bondía (Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain, & Universidad de Costa Rica):
- The Klyachko paradigm in theoretical chemistry
- A 02 (Leon-Lichtenstein-SR)
- Abstract: It is well known that the problem of determining the energy of molecules and other quantum many-body systems reduces in the standard approximation to optimizing a simple linear functional of a twelve-variable object, the two-electron reduced density matrix (2-RDM). The difficulty is: the variation ensemble for that functional has never been satisfactorily determined. This is known as the N-representability problem of quantum chemistry (which to a large extent is a problem of quantum information theory), and remains without satisfactory solution. The situation has given rise to competing research programs, typically trading more complicated functionals for simpler representability conditions. Chief among them, and historically the first, is density functional theory, based on a three-variable object for which N-representability is trivial, whereas the exact functional is very strange indeed, and probably forever unknowable. An intermediate position is occupied by 1-RDM functional theory. Ensemble representability for 1-RDMs was solved 50 years ago. However, only recently, thanks to outstanding work by Klyachko on generalized Pauli constraints, real progress has been made on pure representability for 1-RDM. These constraints determine small polytopes of admissible pure N-representable sets of 1-RDMs. Somewhat mysteriously, physical states seem to cling to the boundary of the polytopes. We speak of pinning when there are saturated constraints, implying strong selection rules which drastically simplify the configurations. Quasi-pinning appears to be ubiquitous. We review recent numerical evidence and theoretical justification for this phenomenon.

Hitwise's Heather Dougherty (not to be confused with her UK coworker, Heather Hopkins) takes a look at Facebook's popularity in the US, and the results are mixed:
One interesting point to note is that during recent peaks in traffic, the average visit time decreases, evidence that these spikes are being driven by less active users of Facebook.
Conversely, then, it is also these less active users that may be causing the drop offs, if average time on site continues its upward trend.
There are various theories as to why the sudden drop offs happen. The increase of application spam is one popular scapegoat. But here, exclusive to Marketing Pilgrim, is an in-depth analysis of the reasons behind Facebook's traffic stumbles, as shown on Hitwise's graph of weekly market share.
But as Youth Trends' report states, it's still the favorite website of college students—maybe we should be glad that they're buckling down for a change .
Guys, this stuff happens. Economies just can't grow all the time. It's not the end of the world, and it's probably not the end of Facebook, either.

Environmental Conditions
The goal of caring for your treasures does not have to be an overwhelming or all consuming task, particularly if you approach the project in phases. The most important thing you can do is to improve the overall "environmental conditions."
This can mean something as simple as moving boxes from a hot attic or damp basement to an area less prone to extreme temperature and humidity fluctuations. Many materials, especially paper and textiles, are hygroscopic, which means they are physically responsive to moisture and temperature changes.
Inappropriate environmental conditions promote harmful chemical reactions and encourage mold growth and insect activity. The accelerated deterioration manifests itself in visible signs of damage:
cockling (distortions and rippling of paper)
warping (of book covers, for example)
foxing (reddish-brown spots on paper and textiles)
This is why it's imperative to move your treasures to an environment that will prevent further damage. Of course, most people store things in the basement or attic to get them out of the way. Fortunately, you don't always have to sacrifice prime living space to safeguard your collectibles.
You can safely store objects
under a bedas long as they are kept in a covered box
in a closetespecially a closet set along an interior wall
at the back of a bookshelfif they are in small boxes
on a high shelf in a finished basementbut avoid using shelving along exterior concrete walls or near the floor
Wherever you feel comfortable year round, so will your precious collections and heirlooms. Just remember
avoid displaying or storing your objects in well lighted areas; in hot, humid or excessively dry areas; or near exterior doors.
Once objects have been damaged, they are altered forever. A conservator can stabilize and repair the piece, but its visual appearance will suffer . . . as will the owner's purse when the conservator's fee is paid.

Carbon Cleanup Could Save Millions Of Lives
Scientists in an article published this year in the journal Nature Climate Change have shown that a mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions would lead to an increase in the future air quality and health of humans and other animals alike in the decades to come. So, the first point isn't exactly rocket science as the greenhouse gases come in the form of exhaust from cars and planes and such (pollution), but the second required a bit more research. The occurrence of fine particular matter, that is particles around 10 micrometers or smaller that consist of nitrates, sulfates, metals, soil, dust and organic chemicals has been measured across the globe and a correlation drawn. The relationship is specifically between the PM and respiratory issues such as premature death, decreased lung function, aggravated asthma and difficulty breathing.
Using a projection which would see average surface temperatures 2.6 degrees C above pre-industrial levels by the year 2030 there would be around half a million avoided deaths, with that rising to 1.3 million by 2050 and 2.2 million by 2100. It is expected that this reduction in loss of life would translate into economic benefit which would in the end outweigh the cost of the reductions in the first place: it's a win win!

ADHD drugs are better known by students as 'college crack' or 'study steroids.' They stimulate dopamine production in the brain, which heightens focus, whether or not you actually have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Stephanie Dobbs has ADHD and says, "I've had people offer money and say I'll give you this for the drug."
Stephanie struggled focusing through long lectures during her first year of college, but stopped taking meds because of the side effects. As she describes, "The side effects really bothered me. I got really bad migraines. I'd be shaky. I'd lose my appetite."
Stimulants can cause sleep problems, which is a draw for students pulling all nighters. Even Stephanie's boyfriend Steven has been approached by classmates willing to pay a premium for a pill. "They say, oh you have friends with ADHD," explains Steven. "Do you think they would slip you a couple of pills so I could have some?"
College senior Joshua Carver has tried Adderall. He tells us, "When I've gotten it, it's been $10. Considering how prescription drugs are being passed out these days, it's no shock. Honestly, the students who are buying could just go to the doctor and say I have this, this and this and most likely, they would get a prescription for it anyways."
Between 2007 and 2011, ADHD drug prescriptions shot up 39 percent from 34 to 48 million. A doctor tells us Adderall is probably the most abused drug, prescribed or street, in schools nationwide today.
According to Dr. Karen Tyson from the ADHD Center of Hawaii, "It is still going to give that body a jolt of that attention, so unfortunately it is sought out by college students and professionals as a performance drug."
Professor Doug McCulloch has ADHD and says another side effect, loss of appetite, has appeal too. He told us, "I lost a ton of weight when I first started taking it, so one of my wife's co-workers said 'wow I wonder if I could get some.'"
Some drugs have reached cult status with slogans like "Adderall, can't pass without it." Doctors warn anyone without ADHD should pass on these meds. Dr. Tyson explains, "You don't know what the side effects are going to be if you're not taking it as prescribed, so I really, really caution people to not do it."
Side effects range from twitching and hallucinations to heart attack and addiction.

What is Felony DUI?
A felony DUI charge in South Carolina requires that the person be proven to have:
- Operated a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol or both, and
- Did something else against the law, whether traffic law or duties imposed by the court, for example, failed to maintain lane or acted negligently, and
- Proximately causes great bodily injury or death to a person other than himself, including passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists.
The first element sounds alot like a DUI, but unlike DUI, the statute does not mention that the drugs or alcohol must impair the ability of the driver to drive safely.
The second element, as written, may allow individuals who are under the influence, but do nothing else wrong, to escape a serious felony DUI charge. For example, a driver while under the influence who kills a driver who turns in front of him will probably not be charged with a felony DUI charge. Why? Because the impaired driver broke no other law and breached no other legal duty. The other driver was at fault.
The third element contains two prongs: "proximate causation" and "great bodily injury." What do these phrases mean? Proximate causation basically means legal causation, not factual causation, that will be recognized for a certain purpose. In the previous example, the impaired driver arguably would still not be charged with felony DUI because the other driver turned in front of the oncoming car and caused the accident. Although impaired, the impairment was not the "proximate cause" of the crash.
Great bodily injury for the purpose of felony DUI is an injury that "creates a substantial risk of death or which causes serious, permanent disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ." In serious automobile accidents, it is not unusual for someone to lose a body part or organ. This scenario would certainly qualify for a felony DUI. Also, pursuant to the statute, if someone dies of complications within 3 years of a "great bodily injury" as defined below, that death would meet the proximate causation standard. SC Code § 56-5-2945.
The penalties for conviction of a felony DUI depend on whether there was a great bodily injury or a death.
For causing great bodily injury:
- 30 days to 15 years mandatory imprisonment, in state or federal prison, not local jail,
- $5,000 to $10,100 mandatory fine,
- driver's license is suspended for the term of imprisonment plus three years.
For causing death:
- 1 year to 25 years mandatory imprisonment, in state or federal prison, not local jail,
- $10,100 to $25,100 mandatory fine, and
- driver's license is suspended for the term of imprisonment plus five years.
As you can see, judges have little sentencing discretion in felony DUI cases. One last caveat: the local prosecutor can elect to charge someone with either felony DUI or , in the alternative, involuntary manslaughter or reckless homicide.
If you want to read the actual statute for yourself, it is reproduced below:
SECTION 56-5-2945. Offense of felony driving under the influence; penalties; "great bodily injury" defined.
(A) A person who, while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or the combination of alcohol and drugs, drives a motor vehicle and when driving a motor vehicle does any act forbidden by law or neglects any duty imposed by law in the driving of the motor vehicle, which act or neglect proximately causes great bodily injury or death to a person other than himself, is guilty of the offense of felony driving under the influence and, upon conviction, must be punished:
(1) by a mandatory fine of not less than five thousand one hundred dollars nor more than ten thousand one hundred dollars and mandatory imprisonment for not less than thirty days nor more than fifteen years when great bodily injury results;
(2) by a mandatory fine of not less than ten thousand one hundred dollars nor more than twenty-five thousand one hundred dollars and mandatory imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than twenty-five years when death results.
A part of the mandatory sentences required to be imposed by this section must not be suspended, and probation must not be granted for any portion.
(B) As used in this section, "great bodily injury" means bodily injury which creates a substantial risk of death or which causes serious, permanent disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ.
The Department of Motor Vehicles must suspend the driver's license of a person who is convicted or who receives sentence upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere pursuant to this section for a period to include a period of incarceration plus three years for a conviction of Section 56-5-2945 when "great bodily injury" occurs and five years when a death occurs. This period of incarceration shall not include any portion of a suspended sentence such as probation, parole, supervised furlough, or community supervision. For suspension purposes of this section, convictions arising out of a single incident shall run concurrently.
(C) One hundred dollars of each fine imposed pursuant to this section must be placed by the Comptroller General into a special restricted account to be used by the Department of Public Safety for the Highway Patrol.
HISTORY: 1983 Act No. 114 Section 4; 1987 Act No. 58 Section 1; 1987 Act No. 82 Section 1; 1993 Act No. 181, Section 1419; 1993 Act No. 184 Section 252; 2003 Act No. 61, Section 17; 2008 Act No. 201, Section 8, eff February 10, 2009.

Deloitte Insights for CIOs couples broad business insights with deep technical knowledge to help executives drive business and technology strategy, support business transformation, and enhance growth and productivity. Through fact-based research, technology perspectives and analyses, case studies and more, Deloitte Insights for CIOs informs the essential conversations in global, technology-led organizations.
For the first time in several years, many midmarket companies feel optimistic about the economy and their business outlooks, according to Deloitte Growth Enterprise Services' recent "Mid-market Perspectives" report. Their optimism is driving plans to invest in IT, which they view as a catalyst for productivity and growth.
Despite slow growth in the U.S. and elsewhere, Deloitte's Chief Global Economist Dr. Ira Kalish is cautiously optimistic about the U.S. and global economies. In this Q&A with Deloitte LLP Deputy CEO Tom McGee, Kalish explains why he expects U.S. economic growth to accelerate modestly in 2014, and what concerns him moving forward.
Midmarket companies are steadily adopting cloud and mobile technologies to boost productivity, support growth, and increase competitiveness, according to Deloitte Growth Enterprise Services' "Perspectives on Technology" survey. The results show similarities between midmarket and larger companies' adoption patterns, expectations of, and concerns with cloud and mobile technologies.
The results of Deloitte Growth Enterprise Services' "Perspectives on Technology" survey show a distinct link between technology investment, growth, and business outlook. Midmarket companies surveyed by Deloitte that have reported revenue growth in the past 12 months see technology as a strategic asset, and they invest in it accordingly.
Midmarket companies have high hopes for technology as a means to improve productivity and otherwise overcome economic obstacles to growth, and it shows in their investment priorities for 2013, according to Deloitte Growth Enterprise Services' 2013 "Mid-market perspectives" report.
Midmarket executives are adapting to managing in an uncertain economy, with more modest growth and hiring expectations than they had last year, according to Deloitte's second annual survey on the sector. Yet, executives are planning to grow their companies through innovation, capturing higher-value customers, boosting revenue per customer and improving customer loyalty.

Cocktail Recipe: The Kneecap Night Cap
10-Minute Happy Hour
Everyone has their take on what a nightcap should be. Some even say it should always be brown — that's right, they say your G&T is better off as an aperitif than your last sip of the evening. (That being said, a nightcap is much different than last call!)
For this week's happy hour, a simple combination of two delicious ingredients will have you pouring the perfect nightcap in no time.
For me the perfect nightcap requires little effort with much reward. It should be sippable and soothing. I crave nightcaps that warm me to the core, though not necessarily because they're served hot. While a hot toddy is a lovely tipple before retiring to bed, nightcaps like this Kneecap get the job done just as well.
The Kneecap cocktail is said to have been a favorite of 1930s and '40s actor and director, Eddie Buzzell. He said, "Two of 'em and you walked home on your knees."
The Kneecap
1 1/2 ounces bourbon
1 1/2 ounces ruby port
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice combine the bourbon and ruby port. Shake until well chilled and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Enjoy.

I've always thought you don't shake a spirt. It can get's bruised and watered down. Ever hear the saying "shake a juice, stir a spirt"?
Yes! I have had a bit of port waiting to drink and just got some some Angel's Envy, which is finished in port casks. This and a book that has been languishing on the coffee table will make for an excellent night in avoiding the cold tonight.
Sounds like a great combination! Call me a fastidious bartender but I think it needs a garnish. Maybe a strip of orange zest? Or even a brandied cherry?
Oh...a brandied cherry would be perfect in this.
what is ruby port??
Ooh, where did you find that cute glass?
Perfect, in its simplicity. I'm trying this with two drops of Urban Moonshine Maple Bitters.
Sounds lovely but it is too cold and bitter to run around town trying to find ruby port. Maybe I'll lay in a supply next autumn but for now, a hot toddy gets the job done nicely.
What's the difference between a nightcap and last call?

Unrecognized Number4 Reviews
(rated for language. Frerard) When Frank's phone gets stalked by unknown numbers, Gerard comes up with a great way to stop it.
This is the tenth time in the last half hour. "Again?" Gee asked, rolling his head to look at me. I nodded, dropping my head in my hands.
"Ya know, I have an idea. Aren't they usually the same numbers?" I groaned a small yes. "If you answer in weird ways, maybe they'll stop calling."
My head snapped up. I thought over what he said, my mind interrupted by my phone ringing again. He took it and looked at the screen. "Here we go. Be quiet." He growled deeply and answered. "Jim's Whore House. You got the dough, we got the hoe." I covered my mouth as a laugh threathened to burst out. "Wrong number? Okay, bye bye." He hung up and gave the phone back and laughed loudly.
I let myself laugh with him. "Gee, I think I just fell in love with you." I laughed. He smiled and pulled me toward him.
"I know you do." He kissed me softly. I smiled. "And just? I've known for a while."
"Shut up!" I laughed and pushed his face away. "So, what about when the next one calls?"
"Oh, I have a bunch of ideas." He smiled evilly. "Now we wait."
An hour later, I got another call. He smiled at me before he answered and murmured something that made me blush. "Remember what we did to make Mikey puke last month?"
He answered and I moaned loudly. "Somebody better be dying." He moaned. "Oh God! Andy!" He winked at me. I moaned again, trying to not laugh.
"Greg!" I screamed, my voice straining. He set the phone down and grinned at me. "Did they hang up?"
"I can't imagine why." He laughed. "Who's Greg?"
"Who's Andy?" I raised an eyebrow. He shrugged and smiled wider.
"How many more?" He asked, laying across my lap. I looked at my phone.
"Three." I yawned, already bored.
"Yay! More fun." He groaned, stretching harder against my legs. "Mm....let's take a nap."
"Sure." I lay back, pulling him up against me. We buried against each other with soft yawns and sighs. About two hours later, we woke up a second before my phone rang.
"Hello? I yawned, smiling at Gee. "No, put the dildo over there, dammit! I'll find another toy if you can't do your job right!"
He laughed quietly and murmured a soft "I'm sorry master" before the line went silent. I hit end and laughed loudly.
"That was great." I hugged him. He kissed my neck with a laugh. "BGM much?" He laughed.
"Yes. Very." I stuck my tongue out at him. "Maybe later, though." He laughed and kissed my shoulder.
"Maybe?" He poked my side, making me gasp.
We finished messing with the unknown numbers and fell asleep again. My phone woke us up this time. "Jim's Whore House. You got the dough, we got the hoe." I held back a yawn.
"Frank Anthony Iero!" My mom yelled on the other end. I jumped up, Gerard falling off of me.
"Mom!" I cried, shocked. "I can explain!"
"We'll talk when I get home young man!" She hung up.
"Fuck me." I groaned and fell back.
"Maybe later." Gee breathed in his sleep.
I laughed despite what had just happened.
R+R. I actually do the Whore House one when someone I don't know calls me. Always freaks em out.
Use those if you want. It'll mindfuck nearly anyone. Have fun with it :)
Hugs and Peanuts,

Hunts Point no-idling laws potentially harmful
I refuse to pay an idling fine I received recently at Hunts Point Market in New York City. Though seemingly not so to authorities, my 2010 tractor is clean-air compliant. Reefers are allowed to spew pollution and noise, yet I wasn't allowed to sleep or idle on a day when the temperature was 100 degrees.
I am fed up with the city's unfair policy. I vow to shut off every running reefer trailer until I get this law altered or changed. I plan not to waste time at a scheduled hearing, for I'd rather be fined and imprisoned.
The day that one of the drivers leaves the market exhausted from being unable to sleep in a 125-degree cab and inadvertently kills someone will be a tragedy. Then maybe these unfair no-idling laws will be changed.
Darcy Dedicated Delivery driver, Jackson, N.J.
Government should build more parking
Some of the millions of dollars tied up in the federal government's rulemaking and enforcement should be used instead to build truck parking facilities. As a retired trucker who drove 4 million safe miles, I am familiar with the dilemma truckers face: Often they are forced to drive when they are out of hours because of two-hour parking restrictions or because rest areas are full.
It's illegal to park by the roadside and on exit ramps. Many times, truck stops are full by afternoon, and most shopping malls prohibit truck parking.
Everyone's lives are at risk when truckers are forced to keep driving for want of parking spaces. Yet, this dearth persists with no government accountability.
KENNETH DICE | Romney, W.V.
"It was his life… When we went on vacation, he always wanted to drive."
— In the Denver Post, Lyle Bontrager describes his father, 74-year-old Maynard Bontrager, who had driven nearly 5 million safe miles until he hit a bison on U.S. 36 near Byers, Co., at night and was killed.

MARK WAID » So I'm Asking For Your Help. →
I love that Waid is doing this.
For the last few months, a talented university teacher named Christy Blanch has been putting together a college-level course called "Gender Through Comic Books"–but it's not limited to college students. It's the world's first comics-related Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)–meaning that it will be FREELY AVAILABLE to ANYONE across the world who has web access and who's interested in comics and in the creative process. There's no obligation, NO COST, and all you have to do is take thirty seconds to enroll at the following site:
As I've started teaching in the last year, I've been working out how I can bring comics into the classroom. It's been a project of mine since last Spring, but I think I've finally got something solid. More soon.

Finishing What We Started
- Friday, May 11, 2007
People are always asking if we realize that we will be doing this for a very long time to come. They seem to think that I, especially, suffer from some rare type of disease! After all, why do I want to spend so much time with my kids? Don't they drive me crazy?
Well, sure, sometimes. However, usually I am too busy being amused, entertained, and thrilled as I watch them grow through their various stages. Learning to walk, learning to read, learning to multiply, learning to play music, learning to analyze literature, learning to drive, learning to defend their beliefs. I never feel as if I am doing homeschooling with my kids. It is simply who we ARE.
Our oldest child is actually graduating from college this year, hard as that is to believe, with Honors degrees in History and Music (and a minor in Russian). She is currently exploring her options and is praying for the Lord's direction on where to go from here.
Our next high school graduate is taking a gap year at the moment, spending time writing a book, leading his Civil Air Patrol squadron, advising and teaching Bible studies on our local college campus, and working to save money. He will head to college himself in the fall to major in Physics and International Relations, and he also plans to be involved with the AFROTC.
As I mentioned, two of our teens are in the midst of hshs at this time. The older one is the creative type--she enjoys music, writing, and art. Other than a few outside classes to help her develop her talents in these areas, she spends all her time learning at home. This daughter is a big help with the drama classes I teach to local homeschoolers. She is a great backstage manager, and she has written some wonderful scripts for our groups to perform--one set in the Civil War, and the most recent one focusing on the Holocaust.
My younger high school daughter is an avid baker and crafter; she enjoys cake decorating, painting, needlework, and ballet. She loves to read, especially books that explain and bring to life different periods in world history, and she recently played Anne Frank in our Holocaust production. This daughter is also the organized one in our big family--which has been both a challenge for her and a blessing for me!
Isn't it amazing how God has created each of our young people so differently?!
Homeschooling through high school has given my teens freedom--the freedom to choose what subjects they will study; the freedom to determine what specific curriculum they will use; the freedom to decide what goals they will pursue. My kids have followed their individual interests to study things as varied as advanced calculus to calligraphy to atomic theory to poetry to diatonic harmony to Churchill to the terrible ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Burma/Myanmar area.
However, as hshs students, my older children have had another important advantage: the wonderful gift of time. Time to think and pray, time to sleep and dream big, time to study their passions and explore new ideas, time to play with their baby sister, time to teach their little brother to fence, time to paint, time to practice instruments, time to read, time to write, time to learn how to run a house, time to change diapers. Our teens have had time to take part in Bible study groups, time to do long-term volunteer work at a local nursing home, and time to teach music, art, and science to young homeschool kids in the area. They have had time to work, time to play, time to talk, time to love, time to grow in maturity and wisdom with God and man.
Last week, an 18-year-old boy in our community died unexpectedly. Ryan was a former drama student of mine. He was a smart, talented kid many might have said belonged in a real school, but instead he graduated from homeschool recently and was taking classes at our local college. Ryan was a Christian, so his family has a peace and hope that nonbelievers can never know. Still, the pain of his loss is great. Yet, as homeschoolers, his parents and his older brother can look back and remember so very much. Ryan did not spend his high school years riding the school bus, leaving early in the morning and arriving home late in the afternoon. Instead, he spent his last years on earth with his family--sharing adventures with them, learning life lessons, and enjoying their unconditional love and support.

Off the Charts: Tracking the Rise in Sovereign Default Fears
As worries over the safety of some European sovereign bonds grew this year, volume in credit default swaps rose sharply, particularly in September. But the changes in net contracts outstanding rose at a much slower pace. The charts show the daily market rate on 10-year government bonds and the annual cost of a credit default swap to insure against default for a $10 million government bond for five years. They also show the weekly volume in such swaps and the net positions of all holders. The charts begin in July 2010, when information on swap volume became available.

Data vs creativity
The growing importance of data is being accused of stifling creativity, as more decisions are made on the basis of numbers and insight rather than allowing original ideas to flow freely.
Marketers have a new fight on their hands this year. Data is rising up the agenda, and not before time according to those who have previously struggled to prove the value their discipline delivers to the bottom line.
But recent months have also seen a stinging backlash from advertising agency heads who say that the fixation on data has become all-encompassing, at the expense of creativity.
At Advertising Week Europe in March, Bartle Bogle Hegarty founder Sir John Hegarty complained of a "creative deficit" in marketing caused by an over-reliance on new technology, while also warning that consumers are growing suspicious of "Orwellian" data collection practices. A few weeks earlier, Now creative partner John Townshend had argued at an event run by TV marketing body Thinkbox that marketers are not giving agencies the freedom necessary to generate ideas.
"With the pressure on clients to hit numbers, it is very hard to play when you've got nanny over your shoulder telling you not to muck around," said Townshend.
The core of the argument for creative freedom in marketing has always been that it is impossible to predict the effect of a truly game-changing idea. Innovators such as pioneering car maker Henry Ford and Apple chief executive Steve Jobs flourished in spite of, not because of, market research. Without the creative spark that sees beyond the data, humankind might still be trying to eke more speed out of its horses instead of driving cars; or carrying around cases of compact discs instead of iPods and iPhones holding entire musical libraries.
Pushing the boundaries
However, Honda head of European marketing Martin Moll says: "Where creative agencies have a challenge today is in convincing a business that it's worth taking a punt. Equally, there is an ongoing challenge where the creative agency wants to stretch the boundaries, but the client might say it's a bit too creative. The nature of creatives is always to question convention and use that experience to help develop themselves, but sometimes that can be at the cost of what the brand needs there and then."
Since the global financial crash and subsequent recessions, many brands have become more conservative in their thinking, Moll argues, preferring to prioritise their smaller budgets on making safer bets. The exceptions tend to be in high-growth product categories such as consumer electronics, where he says companies can afford to spend lavishly on prototyping and testing many new ideas before settling on the most successful (see Q&A below).
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts UK chief marketing officer Judith Denby suggests that it is not usually enough now to make a case for running a campaign on the basis of creativity alone.
"Creativity, by virtue that it is largely intangible or difficult to measure, does tend to be at risk in many scenarios, whether that's from budgets being cut or data being given a higher profile," she says. "Good judgement will be based on data one way or another - it might not be numbers on a spreadsheet, but it will be data and insight gleaned from previous experience and results."
Denby gives the example of Krispy Kreme's 'Office hero' campaign, where the creative was designed to target an important customer type - people who buy doughnuts by the dozen to share at work. She says the company used data to identify the geographic market - primarily central London - and the common purchase triggers for this behaviour, which include status among colleagues, paying back favours and motivating teams.
"Data sources used included EPOS [electronic point-of-sale] sales data, regional awareness and penetration data, and focus group insights," Denby adds. All of this came ahead of the brand's creative brief.
Even in campaigns where creative comes to the fore, data is now playing a more prominent role than ever - as in the case of mobile phone network Three's recently launched TV ad featuring a dancing Shetland pony (see Case Study below). Significant research went into devising the creative brief and, according to director of brand Margaret Burke, Three chose Wieden + Kennedy as its agency not just because of its creative strength, but also because of its media planning capabilities.
Yet, from the copious media attention and YouTube views received by Three's ad, the obvious inference is that data and creative ought to be able to work together. Indeed, Marta Datkiewicz, head of product at flash sales website Secret Sales, argues that data should enhance rather than inhibit creativity and that using it can itself be considered creative.
"I don't see them as competing. I think market and user data offer us a brilliant raw material, which can be fused together to inform and empower the creative process. But in order for data to feed into that, you have to know how to use it and what information to pull out."
Data is not new to marketing, she notes; market research, focus groups and conversations with customers are all long-established data sources. The difference today is that technology has evolved, particularly as a result of increased internet and mobile use by consumers, enabling much more data to be collected and mined. But that is also the problem - ensuring that you're not just describing how the world is, but also explaining why it matters.
Three's Burke says: "If you use data to get an insight and that insight leads you to a great creative brief, that's brilliant. If you're using data in the way that a lot of clients and companies do, which is talking only about facts, I think that leads to pretty mediocre, undifferentiated briefs."
Similarly, Honda's Moll warns that brands need to avoid the "paralysis by analysis" that results from endlessly studying figures rather than making decisions.
Even allowing for this, however, there will always be some who believe that any attempt to impose scientific rigour is an unwelcome and unnecessary encumbrance on the creative process. According to Sky online marketing controller Joel Christie, who manages the broadcaster's online display advertising, it's important not to patronise those who take this view, whether they are brand or agency colleagues.
"Most senior people in organisations have come from TV, radio or press backgrounds, so if you say these new online kids are going to educate you it gets their back up. It's more about getting them excited. Most marketers just want to hear exciting stories about what we can do, so I think presenting data in a way that can do that is very important."
At the same time, marketers perhaps need to acknowledge that there are certain intangibles that are impossible to predict and which can only be brought about by creative minds.
Data will increase in importance as technology continues to improve and as economic conditions continue to necessitate a strong case for marketing investment. The trick is to ensure your data is the fuel that ignites the creative spark, not the flood that extinguishes it.
Case study: Three's dancing pony
Cadbury's 2007 'Gorilla' TV ad is often cited as the epitome of pure creativity successfully freed from the shackles of data. In March this year, mobile phone network Three seemed to achieve a similar feat with an ad for its 4G internet service, featuring a Shetland pony dancing to a song by Fleetwood Mac. But although Three, like Cadbury, set out to surprise, director of brand Margaret Burke says that data was at the heart of its campaign.
Internet usage data and subsequent market research provided the insight behind the creative brief to agency Wieden + Kennedy, which ultimately delivered the dancing pony concept and the campaign strapline: "Silly stuff. It matters." This "silly" viral content, far from being of trivial importance, was revealed by Three's research to be highly emotionally rewarding for mobile internet users.
Burke says that making the leap from this to the Shetland pony idea did require the "creative spark" of the agency, but she also adds: "I don't believe that you get that unless you're really clear about what you're trying to do. You only get the work that you set out to get."
The most important data point of all, she says, came from pre-launch testing of the finished ad. Three shunned any measurement of consumers' rational responses, but instead focused on getting a five-star rating for enjoyment, which the ad achieved. Even though Three couldn't predict that the ad would go viral, Burke believes the brand created all possible conditions to enable it to happen.
In particular she cites one guiding principle: "We didn't want to talk about the internet, we wanted to be 'of the internet'."
That seems to have worked. The official YouTube dancing pony ad has now accrued over 6 million views, and countless other users have adapted it to post their own pony 'mashups' online. The simplest explanation for that, Burke says, is that the ad "is not really an ad, it's a piece of content".
Q&A: Honda
Martin Moll
Head of European marketing
Marketing Week (MW): Why has data become so important to marketers recently?
Martin Moll (MM): The game has changed because of the impact of recession. Creativity is being put under a microscope. Budgets have been reduced, and internally businesses have started to be a lot more conservative in their thinking and to play safer.
Different things are at play in different sectors. Electronics is throwing a lot of money at it so some ideas are fantastic and work really well, but there will be a myriad of others that won't. They're experimenting and that's great when your budgets are booming. In automotive, people want to rely on a safer bet with a smaller budget.
MW: Is creativity losing out to data and insight as a result?
MM: It is rare you see marketing that is purely data-driven. If it's too rational, people might get the message but they won't buy into it. Whether you're buying food, a house or a car, there is a mentality that says 'does it appeal to me on a sensory level?', then you post-rationalise. A prime example in the automotive sector is that people will focus heavily on reliability as the primary reason for purchase, but actually they won't go out looking for messages about reliability. That doesn't sell and doesn't create desire.
MW: How can marketers benefit from making data and creativity work together?
MM: Everybody knows that if a dealer says we'll give you £1,000 off a car, you can directly correlate that with the number of cars registered and, therefore, get a return on investment. It's trickier in pure marketing terms, but if you can make the links between what you're doing and helping the sales pipeline - if you can make that correlation internally and, through data, explain it - then the business is far more likely to support you. It's far more tangible than the loose stuff that goes on out there, where no-one knows what happens when someone sees a TV commercial.
Joel Christie
Online marketing controller
We always try to remind ourselves that data is not the answer. It's part of it. We look at [online advertising] very much as art and science. The data gives us the platform to speak to the right people, but creativity is central to what we do.
If we don't get that creative right, it all falls down. We try to be as creative as possible both in terms of the ad format and the messaging. It's important to understand how creativity fits into this in order to trigger responses.
We start with the opportunity, which is led by the data. If there's no opportunity there, because the volumes are too small, then we don't progress. If there is an opportunity there, we look at how big it is and how much creative we need to put into play. There are so many levers you can pull and they just work hand in hand.
Data has got a bit of bad press because it can be seen as a dull subject. People's eyes do sometimes glaze over when you mention data, but it can be a really exciting opportunity. When I talk to someone who looks after Sky Sports or Sky Movies about the insights we can give them, they get very excited.
We can say we've targeted this group, we put these messages in front of them and this is the message people reacted to the best.
We need to be more human about things. I completely get that the technology is making it easier for us to [use data] but we need to make it easier for people to get excited. Ultimately, this budget gets signed off by a head of marketing or a head of finance somewhere that wants to see the sales uplift and wants to see what it can do. If you just talk about computer stats then it gets lost.
If you think about any marketing it is just trying to put the right message in front of the right person. With the media you buy, whether that's a rectangular ad on The Guardian or a homepage takeover on YouTube, as long as you get the right message to the right person then the format enables you the creativity.
Readers' comments (3)
Creativity on its own can be dangerous as can data on its own. The two have to be sensibly combined to give the optimum results. You have to understand the reasons behind the data and not just blindly follow!
Data and creativity should never be mutually exclusive but should feed on each other. We live in a world crowded with ever-more intrusive messages and if we can seive these down to the relevant then there is more opportunity to engage with real customers, not blitz those which will never buy the product.
That said, inaccurate and intrusive data-matches are worse than no targeting at all.
"Head-scratchers" such as Groupon offering wholly irrelevant products to too wide a demographic are sufficiently annoying (and frequent) to get them banned as spam from many inboxes. Similarly shoddy "retargeting" — which tries to sell you products you just bought is useless, intrusive and spooky in equal measure.
Marketeers need to adopt a "light touch" approach where data driven messages are perceived to be customer service rather than selling, but there is no reason whatsoever why this cannot be done in a creative and inventive way.
In fact successful data marketing is always "creative" in that it will always involve a consideration of what and when the customer is likely to buy and deliver the message and offer which is powerful enough to make them do so.
Data related marketing needs creativity to ensure it is successful and extracts the right insight that or communicates succinctly to the right audience it's message. They work in unison not in competition to be successful!

It is widely expected that Cowboys rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant will miss the first few days of training camp while his contract is finalized.
However, the first-round pick's agent Eugene Parker is hopeful that the deal will be done very soon.
"We are going to work to get it done as soon as possible," Parker told Clarence E. Hill, Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "They want it done. We want it done."
As soon as Bryant is under contract, the only remaining draft picks that will need to sign are linebacker Sean Lee, cornerback Jamar Wall and defensive end Josh Price-Brent, who was selected in the supplemental draft.

Meshael Alayban was accused of taking away her maid's passport and forcing her to work without pay. She could have received 12 years in prison if convicted.
SANTA ANA, Calif. — A human-trafficking case against a Saudi princess in the U.S. has been dismissed.
The surprise announcement came Friday as 42-year-old Meshael Alayban was to face arraignment on a charge that could have brought up to 12 years in prison.
Alayban smiled when her attorney, Paul Meyer, said, "You are free."
The charge was filed after a Kenyan maid alleged Alayban had taken away her passport and forced her to work long hours without pay.
Prosecutors now say further investigation did not corroborate the allegations.
Meyer said in a statement that the maid's claims "were a scam to gain permanent resident status in the United States."
Authorities said the maid escaped from Alayban's condo in July, got on a bus and told a passenger her story. The passenger helped her contact police.
Alayban and her attorneys likened the issue to a contract dispute and said the maid and her counterparts were treated well.
But District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said the circumstances were closer to slavery.
Alayban had been free on $5 million in bail posted by the Saudi consulate.
Meyer has said his team gathered hundreds of photos and videos taken by witnesses and the maids themselves that show the extensive freedom they enjoyed. The evidence was shared with prosecutors, he said.
"We also discovered that the women had deleted many of the photos and messages they had posted on social media — and asked friends to delete them also — to destroy the evidence of the true lifestyle they were enjoying," Meyer said.

Considerations Regarding The Expenditures For Objectives And Economic Activities In Romania During Financial Crisis
AbstractGiven its function of adjustment the economic processes, state made expenditures for activities and important economic goals financing commercial companies with state capital, private or mixed, the small farmers and other entrepreneurs. The operation of public economic sector is considered by economic theory, generally, ineffective, because the tendency of the budget support is a way by which governments try to avoid social discontent occurred after non-interventionist attitude of the government. This intervention method creates an incorrectly system in private economic entrepreneur treatment compared with the public one, changing supply-demand ratio. Belonging to a property sector should not be preferential or discrimination criteria. In this paper we will present the evolution of expenditures for economic objectives and activities in Romania during the financial crisis.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma Program
The Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) Program is a comprehensive multidisciplinary program that incorporates all aspects of the disease from community screening to fundamental mechanisms of heptocarcinogenesis.
The program focuses on advancing our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying chronic liver disease and cancer in order to enhance our ability to detect, treat, and cure HCC. The HCC Program of the Tisch Cancer Institute aims to address these problems through its highly integrated and internationally recognized research program. Our core activities include extensive outreach programs in ethnic communities to screen and detect viral hepatitis and HCC, laboratory studies of HCV, HBV and HCC pathogenesis using a range of mammalian and genetically tractable models (e.g., zebrafish), fundamental investigations into the molecular and cellular basis of hepatic fibrosis and alcoholic liver disease, and large clinical trials to advance the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic fibrosis, viral hepatitis and HCC. By further aligning this TCI program through newly established institutional strengths in epidemiology, community outreach and personalized medicine, the HCC Program is poised to accelerate its contributions to advancing our understanding and care of this disease.
HCC investigators aim to elucidate fundamental mechanisms that underpin the basis of chronic liver disease, including pathways of intracellular signaling, inflammation and fibrosis in response to environmental challenges (viruses and alcohol), utilizing advanced models of disease in a range of species.
Major Themes
The HCC Program revolves around three major themes:
- Theme 1 - Basic mechanisms of chronic hepatic inflammation that lead to HCC
- Theme 2 - Molecular and cellular basis of hepatic fibrosis and HCC
- Theme 3 - Innovative therapeutic strategies for HCC (pre-clinical and clinical)
Program Leaders
Scott L. Friedman, MD
Josep Llovet, MD
Program Meeting Schedule
The HCC Program regularly holds the following meetings:
- HCC Program Meeting (monthly)
- Disease Focus Group meeting – Clinical Trials (monthly)
- HCC Program/Institute of Genomics meeting (monthly)
- Hepatocellular Carcinoma Retreat (annual)
- Postgraduate CME Course (annual)
For more information on any of these meetings, please contact the program leaders.

Can Nikon's Flagship DSLR See in the Dark? [VIDEO]
When Nikon debuted its new flagship digital SLR camera, the D4, earlier this year, it promised to bestow photographers with powers far beyond mortal (read: lower-end) cameras. We got a chance to play with the D4 for a while to see if it made good on that promise. One of the things a rocket-ship DSLR like the D4 does well is take good photos in low light.
