What's the Most Important PR Metric? Wrong Question
At PR News' upcoming Measurement Conference in Chicago, Kirstie Foster, director of corporate and brand communications for General Mills, is going to present a case study looking at a new measurement program she just rolled out for brands such as Cheerios, Yoplait and Pillsbury. Historically, there's been a lack of consistent PR measurement across General Mills' brands, according to Kirstie, and there hasn't been formal integration of the Barcelona Principles until now.
We're talking about a complete rethinking of PR's role at one of the oldest continuously operating companies in the U.S. It's a full-scale attempt to make sure that PR is held accountable for its efforts from the point of view of management, and to make sure that management sees clearly just how vital the communications function is to a company's business success.
One thing's for certain about what Kirstie's doing at General Mills—the measurement overhaul was proactive in the extreme. From what Kirstie tells me, it's all-encompassing. We're not just talking about the integration of social media measurement with more traditional PR metrics—we're talking about well-thought-out training for the staff, both internal staffers and those with her agency partners.
Before our Measurement Conferences we send out surveys to attendees and ask them what questions they want presenters to address. The most common questions run along these lines:
"What's the most widely used metric for measurement being used today?"
"What's the single most effective way to communicate the value of PR?"
"What's the best tool for measuring social media engagement?
It's a human trait to want black-and-white answers to difficult questions. Solving questions about PR measurement might not be in the same realm as solving problems associated with climate change, immigration and violent fanaticism, but as with those dilemmas, there's no simple solution, no silver bullet.
"What's the best metric for measuring PR?" is probably not the most fruitful question to ask. If you suspect you might need the same kind of overhaul as the one led by Kirstie Foster, a more existential question might be a better starting place, such as, "What can I do to help my organization succeed?"
Proceed from there with your measurement overhaul.

We Need to Dispel These 5 PR Myths
Search the term "hires a PR firm" on any given day and you'll find a fresh news story about a company hiring a PR firm to handle a crisis. Shocking news! Stop the presses! How dare they revert to PR!
Why is it still newsworthy when PR is called to the rescue or joins a strategic team? "Pet Company Hires PR Firm to Clone Calico Cats" or "PR Counselor Recommends AshleyMadison.com to C-Suite" – now those would be worth writing about. To wit: there is still a jaundiced view of PR. To utilize PR is sometimes akin to admitting you've reached The Last Resort.
Part of the reason for this mentality is the media's view of PR – the same journalists creating a news story out of a non-story are the journalists whose respect for PR is wavering at best. Surely there are outstanding relationships between PR pro and journalist. Enough rotten apples and we become spoiled, in a bad way.
Another reason PR is not yet elevated within an organization is a lack of strong and ongoing advocacy for PR. PR professionals are the go-to storytellers, writers, advisors, counselors, organizers, implementers and strategists — right?
Some heavy lifting is needed. We might start by dispelling these 5 myths about PR:
PR is nice to have but not need to have. The truth is that the strongest brands and reputations deploy smart public relations tactics that are seamlessly integrated into the core mission and culture.
PR people suck at math and finance. PR execs need to add metrics and measurement to the business conversations and hold PR accountable in front of senior management. We talk about measurement among ourselves – time to apply what you know to the conversations you have with the C-suite and marketing colleagues.
PR should not be seen — and needs to stay behind the scenes. Of course not. You have the advantage of context and clarity – there's no reason you can't be the spokesperson and certainly no reason why an organization shouldn't be proud to have a smart PR counselor backing its reputation.
PR's main role is media relations. Media relations is a subset of PR and not the end-all, be-all. While strong relationships with journalists are critical for many PR people, the Public in Public Relations includes those hanging out on social media, the employees in your organization and the people on Wall Street and Main Street. Change the conversation from positive media coverage to positive coverage.
What other myths would you add to the mix, and what are your suggestions for busting them?

PR is Sales is Marketing is Advertising
The lines are blurry. As a communicator you are usually selling something – an idea, a story, an interview to the media, a budget, a campaign. To close on that effort – to get the story, win the account, score a larger budget – is a similar feeling your Marketing counterpart has when her campaign idea is approved or when a customer buys the product based on her messaging. And the salesperson down the hall from you? He is always prospecting, aims to be in front of clients or at least on the phone with them, understanding their pain points and their spending limits.
These three levers of Communications – PR, Marketing, Sales — are at their best when they're working together, not separately. Most practitioners and strategists agree with the premise, but the underlying pain points, frustrations, budgetary constraints, conflicting goals may stop the three from even wanting to work together. I've posed the question in a previous post, Will PR and Marketing Get Married One Day? A lot of you responded and as a whole we're in favor of this matrimony. But how about we go on a few dates first?
The best communicators will be the ones who have a firm grasp on Marketing, who partner with Sales to help close business, and who are pushing for consistent messaging across this spectrum. If you shy away from Sales or snub your nose at Marketing (that department that steals some of your budget), then you will be OK, possibly. That is to say, you can get by. But to be an extraordinary communications executive you need to spend some time in their shoes. Here are three easy things you can do in the next 30 days to narrow the gap and broaden your organization's (and your own) opportunities:
Lead a Sales Call: Try to sell something to a client: ask your sales dept if you can sell your company's service or product to one prospect. Set up the appointment, do your research, lead the meeting, close the business, send out the proposal, wait for the signature. Sometimes you'll be waiting longer than expected for a signed contract and that's part of the process and why the rewards taste so sweet.
Be a Marketer: Sit in on Marketing meetings and listen without your PR hat on. Understand how they measure success and manage budgets. Ask to work on a campaign in which you need to partner with the PR team. It's not always easy to collaborate and see the other side. As a marketer, you may want to spend more on b-to-c advertising while PR is pushing for a media relations push with the trade press. Find common ground and share in the hits and misses.
Break Bread & Barriers: Set up monthly Integrated Communications Breakfasts. An early morning meeting of the minds where you are fresh and prepared could work wonders. Share current initiatives, report on performance of campaigns, ask for help and guidance. This will increase transparency and lead to more collaboration.
There's nothing like coffee and bagels to smear away the friction that exists when three departments are used to eating alone.

How PR Can Strengthen Its Bond With Marketing
The melding of PR and marketing is one of the biggest challenges facing communicators of all stripes.
As C-level managers demand more accountability from their PR departments, communicators increasingly are trying to take their lead from marketing when it comes to measuring activity and demonstrating value. And, unlike even a few years ago, a growing number of PR execs now report to CMOs.
Wide disparities remain between the two disciplines. Marketing is conditioned to showing fairly immediate returns on the investment—PR, not so much. Indeed, it might take years for PR efforts to flow to the top and/or bottom lines.
But the arc of media consumption is bending toward PR. Online consumers have much more interest in having a conversation with brands, the domain of PR. Still, if they're to succeed in the future, both marketing and PR need to work together.
How marketing and PR are collaborating on digital was discussed Monday during PR News' Digital PR Conference.
"Communication pros who think like brand marketers will have a better appreciation of the purchase path," said Torod Neptune, VP and head of corporate communications for Verizon Wireless.
Neptune has made several moves to provide for better collaboration between Verizon Wireless' PR and marketing teams. They include:
- Expanding the PR department by hiring executives from digital agencies, as opposed to traditional communications professionals, who are well-versed in all things digital.
- Training PR execs to speak in a marketing vernacular and learn the terminology that the marketing department uses. "This should be the way we talk about our craft, which is one of the big opportunities" for PR, Neptune said.
- Encouraging PR execs to be more proactive, rather than reactive, about establishing the corporate narrative and speaking in the brand voice.
Jody Sunna, executive VP for Havas PR North America, stressed that bolstering fundamental communication between marketing and PR is key. She recommended the following tips for better collaboration:
- Maintain message consistency across all channels and all platforms.
- Look to bring all marketing, PR and digital team members to the table from the get-go to uncover opportunities and workarounds.
- Cross-promote and amplify content outside of your channel. Share PR stories with sales teams and across social channels. Share fan feedback from Twitter and Facebook with PR and marketing, and share marketing sales figures with PR.

To Be Human in PR. That Is the Quest.
I was in high school when my Home Economics teacher disclosed that Betty Crocker was not a real person but was a device to personalize the brand. For this naive Jewish girl in Baltimore, it might have been the equivalent of hearing there is no Santa Claus. Betty Crocker was not a real person. I resented that teacher and General Mills for many years, though relished in this newfound knowledge and spread the word about Betty to anyone who would listen.
Fast-forward 30 years and we are still inundated with Betty Crockers. Seemingly real, but not. All smiley faced and perfect, at least in the kitchen.
This dawned on me recently when at a PR News conference two attendees embraced and one said to the other: "I never really thought we'd meet in person. Great to know you are a real person and not just a Twitter handle!" To that, the other said, "Isn't it great to get out of the office and meet real people?"
(Excuse my nosiness, but I was doing PR News research.) My radar was on for these types of interactions throughout the day of our event, and they were rampant over the course of 6 hours. To wit:
One well-respected industry leader declared proudly to me: "I am no longer using Facebook—I don't even recognize my own siblings on there. I am going to focus on the here and now." I get what she was saying. Last week alone, three people asked to be my friend on FB, and I have no clue who they are and what value I bring to them. They are connected to me through other acquaintances who I wouldn't know if I bumped into them while buying a Betty Crocker mix. But more to the other point, who we are on social media is usually not who we are In Real Life. That means, to some extent, that what our customers are doing and saying online is not necessarily who they are offline. Understanding these nuances requires a human, not a machine. We all know this, though the lure of automated technology and social media communication can blur our vision.
The PR News conference last week was focused on PR Measurement, and there were a lot of great conversations about creating the ultimate PR dashboard, understanding Big Data and proving PR's worth. It was agreed by most that even though we have an unprecedented array of technologies to assist us, it is beholden on us as brand leaders not to forget the human touch and the human brain. An algorithm can only tell us so much about our audience or our campaigns. A dashboard can reveal a lot, but it takes a human being to sift through the data and make real sense of it.
We can tweet and post and like and follow, but at what cost to human interaction? It is very efficient to use email and social media, but it is divine to sit across from a journalist, a customer, a colleague or any stakeholder and have eye contact, exchange words and ideas, relate in real life.
As we take on Big Data and elaborate dashboards, cloud computing and crowd sourcing, let's remember to humanize our communications and apply human expertise to PR measurement so we can spot a Betty Crocker when she rears her pretty head.

15 Easy Changes to Transform Your Career this Year
Forget new year's resolutions about losing weight, completing your first novel, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail while learning how to play guitar. Those sorts of resolutions just set you up for disappointment. It's time to get realistic. As far as career resolutions go, there's no shortage of things we can do better. As communicators, we are fortunate to be working in a field that is constantly changing and therefore challenging our skills and patience. With that in mind, I put together 15 activities that can set you up for a more gratifying year on the job. This doesn't mean you can't still try to master the art of French cooking or call your in-laws once a week. Give at least a few of these a try in the coming week:
1. Become data savvy not data obsessive: understand what all the hullabaloo is about "data" in your organization and then learn how to leverage it for good, not just because.
2. Tell a good story: that's one reason why we're in PR, to tell great stories. If it means re-reading your favorite Rudyard Kipling short story to remind you of great storytelling, well that wouldn't be so painful.
3. Foster a relationship: whether it's with a co-worker, a reporter, a client or a customer, get out there and get to know someone new.
4. Look up: practice proper protocol and be in the moment by not staring down at your phone while in a meeting or in social interactions.
5. Find a mentee: help a budding communicator navigate the increasingly complex areas of PR. Seek a mentee through your own organization or through industry groups like PRSSA.
6. Give your customer a face and a name: find out who your optimal customer is (or your client's optimal customer) and tack a photo of that person by your desk. Gear your efforts toward him or her.
7. Measure twice, cut once: best to know what the key metrics are before you launch a campaign or initiative and use those as your guide; it saves you much time and heartache in the long term.
8. Write something: practice writing every day; the more you write, the better you get at writing. Volunteer to write a blog post for your company or to guest post for a client; write an article in your company newsletter or update your group or clients with a well-crafted email memo.
9. Switch jobs (for a day) with IT: gain a better understanding of what your digital team does every day by spending some time dealing with people like us who are always needing something from them.
10. Get your policies and plans in order: do you have a social media policy? An employee handbook? A crisis plan? Have you read or updated them? Now is a good time to brush up on the dry stuff.
11. Audit your assets: take stock of your content libraries (if you have them), your photo archives, press release templates, review your About Us web page, and other assets that could come in handy in the event of a crisis, merger, acquisition, corporate change or last-minute request from a reporter.
12. Drop a social media platform: do you really need to be on Pinterest? Maybe that stagnant LinkedIn Group is making your brand look bad, not good. No need to be there if your audience is not visiting.
13. Adopt a social media platform: try out a new platform – whether it's Snapchat, tumblr or Google+, test new social media waters to develop a stronger sense of where your should invest time and resources.
14. Hand-write a thank you note: A few times a month, thank a customer, a client, a colleague, a reporter, an analyst; be on the mental lookout for those people who are helping you and write them a note. Your letter will stand out and all parties will be grateful. (Don't forget to mail it.)
15. Advocate for PR: I'm not telling you anything new when I say that Public Relations as a discipline is only as good as the disciples. Become an advocate for measurable PR strategies and tactics that move the needle in a positive way. Share your best practices of the trade and spread the word about the power of Public Relations.
Happy new year, friends of PR News!

The Epic List of Useless PR Tactics
A while back I compiled a list of annoying phrases and words we utter as communicators (and human beings), from "at the end of the day" to "guru" and "epic". The list, via my blog post, grew as you added your own phrases that annoy ("I don't hate that" and "synergy," to name a few).
When the other day I heard someone complain about not being able to take a campaign viral, I knew it was time to create The Epic List of Useless PR Tactics. To make this epic, you will need to add to it, shamelessly and without hesitation. Every profession has tactics that consistently don't work because the very premise of them is flawed.
I should preface by stating that most PR people I know, and whom we cover in PR News, are hard-working, intelligent and effective. But we all know colleagues who subscribe to one of the tactics below that only serves to set PR back as a profession:
Creating a viral campaign as goal #1: it's gratifying when a campaign goes viral like the Oreo blackout tweet or the ice bucket challenge and social media has accelerated our ability to spread our messages (for better or worse). But understanding the motivations and psychologies of your stakeholders rather than making the medium (Twitter, Facebook, etc) the central focus will more likely result in spreadable content.
Using ad value equivalencies as a metric: While public relations is still struggling to agree on a standard metric, it has come a long way with the Barcelona Principles and matrices to better measure the value of PR in general and a campaign in particular. Applying AVEs to PR is the best route to going backwards.
Spraying and praying: you need media coverage, so the best way to get that is to send the same email and press release to thousands of journalists, most of whom do not cover your industry. Wrong! Even with updated and accurate databases at our disposal to target the appropriate journalist or influencer, telling a story to the right audience is still elusive to many.
Baiting and switching: there's nothing a client hates more than thinking they've just hired a seasoned PR counselor only to be met the next week by someone a few years out of college who's the lead on the account. After nearly 20 years in the PR space, I can say that there's more transparency in agency-client relations and less bait-and-switch; the minority cases drown out the advancements.
Forgetting you have a voice: Email is an excellent communication tool but nothing beats talking to someone in person or by phone. Go retro and phone an industry friend, meet with a reporter or client and meet up with stakeholders on their turf (industry conferences, for example)
Forgetting you have ears: as with most disciplines, PR suffers from hearing loss. Listen to what your stakeholders are saying and be present in the places they are saying it. Listening is a workout: you have to discipline yourself to do it regularly but the rewards are noticeable.
Working in a silo: if you want to limit what your organization can achieve, then it's important you stay neatly tucked into your department. But if you see that the lines have blurred and that it takes a village to raise the bar, then you know that aligning with your marketing peers (see my last blog on this), and even those in IR, IT, HR and other two and three letter departments will be the way forward for effective communications.
I want to hear from you. You're on the front lines. What are some PR tactics we need to put an end to, stat? Please add to my list.

Will PR and Marketing Get Married One Day?
Inevitably the question arises when you're in a room full of communicators: how do we break down the silos between PR and Marketing? I recently moderated a panel with Andrew Bowins of Mastercard and Jay Bartlett of Pitney Bowes on the topic of marketing-PR collaboration, or lack thereof in many organizations. We agreed that a path toward "togetherness" – as we're all in this together – could mean better performance for your organization.
Both Jay and Andrew agreed that the departments need to not only talk to one another more often, but force collaboration into the culture until it becomes the culture. A few audience members shared how their organizations are literally breaking down the cubicles and re-engineering work spaces so that marketing and PR colleagues are sitting side by side.
There are a few elephants in the room when it comes to PR-Marketing collaboration and these animals are filling the space: budget and org chart. Most organizations have separate PR and marketing budgets and there's an inherent competition between the two to get a larger slice of a smaller pie. Then there's the organization chart which is dusted off every now and then and tweaked, not transformed. Who reports to whom and who ultimately has the CEO's ear is inextricably linked to budget, performance and outcomes. Understanding the new skills needed to accelerate growth may mean rethinking job titles, responsibilities and organizational structure.
At PR News' Social Media Summit last week there was a consensus that marketing and PR need to partner more regularly and in particular when it comes to the rapid pace of social media communications. Who owns social media is not so much the question when both departments agree that their audience owns it.
PR and Marketing may get married one day – perhaps by necessity. But for the marriage to last it needs to do what most successful couples do: spend a lot of time together, move in and get to know how each other lives (my mother would disagree on this) and then get engaged. Work out the money issues and day to day responsibilities. Stick together in sickness and in health. You're going to need each other.

Measure Twice, Cut Once? How About We Just Measure!
Measurement is one of those irrefutable initiatives in the PR and marketing world. You cannot argue with the idea that what can't be measured can't be managed. Nor can you dispute the reality that many practitioners do not take measurement seriously.
Is PR Measurement like hand washing at the restroom? Let's face it: there are those who always wash their hands, those who sometimes do, and others who pretend they do. Unlike washing your hands in the bathroom, measurement is not mindless, and it can't be done in a minute. Some would even say it's a bit messy. Communicators still do not have a standard by which to measure communications practices, though it is finally agreeing that ad value equivalencies are ineffective in moving the needle.
This week marks the first annual AMEC Measurement Week, a global "event" sponsored by the International Association for the Measurement and Evaluation of Communication. PR firms and communicators at organizations worldwide are hosting meetings, events and social media discussions to tout the benefits of both measurement and evaluation. Check out PR News's web site, newsletter and social media (#prmeasure) for interviews with measurement leaders and practical ideas on measurement. This week shines a spotlight on an area of our practice that is less shiny and new. Now is a perfect time to reflect on your personal philosophy about measurement and your commitment to the daily practice of measurement.
In countless conversations with communicators, and on the stage at PR News's Measurement Conferences in DC (and coming on Nov. 20 in Chicago), experts on the topic are heated and singularly passionate about measurement. Attendees take copious notes and nod in agreement. These are clearly the people who care about measurement and carry the torch.
It is beholden on every communicator to understand The Barcelona Principles (66% of communicators in a recent PR News survey said they never heard of the Principles), to set measurable goals and to be willing to acknowledge when a campaign or idea didn't hit the mark. The latter takes time, courage and teamwork.
Please share your measurement thoughts with us at PR News, and contribute to this important conversation.

3 Wise Ways to Tie Your PR to Sales
It's the definitive question in C-suites, boardrooms and industry conferences: is there a correlation between PR and sales? It's safe to say that, as a whole, communicators have not done a stellar job at demonstrating the link between PR and the top or bottom line.
While PR can sometimes directly be tied to sales, I am not espousing that it should always be tied to sales. Rather, your role as a valuable public relations practitioner includes demonstrating a return on investment from your PR efforts (refer to #3 in the Barcelona Principles). That "return" is not always about revenue; it's about building awareness, improving reputation, informing stakeholders, and more.
There's only so much you can control when it comes to the actual sales close. But you can be a part of ensuring there are processes in place to draw a correlation between your performance and that of your organization. Get familiar with your typical customer's buying journey and understand that your sales team comes into the journey rather late in the game. Consultant Debbie Qaquish, in a column on prnewsonline, explains rather adeptly how PR can, and why it should, augment sales.
What's missing in many organizations is a collaborative approach in which the marketing mix includes PR from start to finish: PR is not thrown into the mix half way for good measure. It's not sprinkled onto the mix as a nice to have ingredient and it's not heaped on at the end to give it flavor. Rather, PR is a formidable ingredient in an organization's marketing mix. For this to happen, the leaders in an organization need to believe in the power of PR and you need to preach what you practice. Here are 3 ways to begin connecting your PR efforts to sales:
1. Talk to your sales team regularly. Do you know who the top salespeople are at your organization? Ask them what their clients are saying about your brand and products. Equip the salespeople with supporting data, materials and anything you think would help them sell more. Set up monthly meetings with your sales colleagues, with the goal being to give them the updates, trends, thought leadership pieces and other supporting materials that will set them apart from competitors. You can't sell for them but you can sell with them.
"Run your communications team like a sales team," advises Mark Stouse, vice president at BMC Software, in a recent Q&A with PR News. "Focus on aligning your marketing and communications efforts with the three legs of sales productivity — demand generation, deal expansion and deal velocity."
2. Know SEO. Search engine optimization is not the sole domain of IT, Marketing or an outsourced firm. Optimize your content so it's landing high in search results and attracting the right eyeballs. Whether you're on WordPress or a custom content management system, you need to make your words sing louder and live longer online. There are countless tools available to learn the keywords your prospective customers are using (such as SEO Moz) and helpful PR/SEO workshops, but there's no gaming the system. Produce fresh, relevant content and you'll increase traffic, which should boost sales. Whether it's Google Analytics or a premium tool, track your visitors' conversion rate so you can prove that what your department is producing online results in positive, monetizable action.
3. Optimize social for sales. Understand your audience behavior on social. Work with your marketing team to drive traffic to your Pinterest board or your Facebook page and don't be afraid to sell them something while they're there. You might currently be investing in social promotions and advertising, so why not complement those efforts with direct selling on your own social pages? Additionally, if your press release is not optimized with multimedia and unique links to points of sales (where applicable) then you are wasting a good press release opportunity.
There will come a day when we stopping putting a question mark after PR's role in the marketing mix and its tremendous value to organizational growth. But this will require an integrated communications approach and a collaborative spirit. Do you have it in you?

LOVED first reading assignment for OB
4 First reading assignment was about the physical and psychological changes a woman goes through!!! I actually could sit still and read it the entire 20 pages without getting up!! Not like me at all!! Could this mean this should be my field of interest?? I hope this means good grades too.... )

I actually had to do the reading weeks before we even started because my first rotation of the quarter was in the birth center and I got to go back on my last day of clinical as well. I rocked the exam for that unit and got a level 3 on the ATI for it as well. If you love it you will most likely do well. Have fun!0Aug 22, '13 by Summer DaysI'm two quarters away from OB but I imagine that a topic that consumes you as such would mean that you are developing an interest in it. Good luck in your OB class :P0Aug 23, '13 by Tinker88, BSN, RNI can't wait till OB clinical! I can see myself in OB! You definitely found your interest

'Apparently Kid' Is Back to Charm You All Over Again
The 'Apparently Kid' is coming back for more.
The 'Apparently Kid' is coming back for more.
What in the name of Rodgers and Hammerstein is going on here?
Going back to school has never been so fun.
"Dad, are you kidding me?!"
If you think it's tough to get your kids to listen to you, you may want to follow the very clever and tongue-in-cheek example set by this father.
Local news stations: perhaps the country's greatest source of unintentional comedy.
"You've already got two!"
About the only thing hotter than the Ice Bucket Challenge these days is bad commercials.
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has taken over the Internet and, presumably, your Facebook feed. It is all the rage. However, there are plenty of people who've had issues trying to pull it off.
Could there be an alligator trying to haul him underwater for an easy meal?
Oh, to be a child and not realize or care about the proper way to behave.
If we ever get on 'Jeopardy!' but don't know the final answer, we hope we have the guts (and charm) to go out like Ari here.

Philadelphia, PA, February 21, 2012 Using a noninvasive test on maternal blood that deploys a novel biochemical assay and a new algorithm for analysis, scientists can detect, with a high degree of accuracy, the risk that a fetus has the chromosomal abnormalities that cause Down syndrome and a genetic disorder known as Edwards syndrome. The new approach is more scalable than other recently developed genetic screening tests and has the potential to reduce unnecessary amniocentesis or CVS. Two studies evaluating this approach are available online in advance of publication in the April issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology (AJOG).
Diagnosis of fetal chromosomal abnormalities, or aneuploidies, relies on invasive testing by chorionic villous sampling or amniocentesis in pregnancies identified as high-risk. Although accurate, the tests are expensive and carry a risk of miscarriage. A technique known as massively parallel shotgun sequencing (MPSS) that analyzes cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from the mother's plasma for fetal conditions has been used to detect trisomy 21 (T21) pregnancies, those with an extra copy of chromosome 21 that leads to Down syndrome, and trisomy 18 (T18), the chromosomal defect underlying Edwards syndrome. MPSS accurately identifies the conditions by analyzing the entire genome, but it requires a large amount of DNA sequencing, limiting its clinical usefulness.
Scientists at Aria Diagnostics in San Jose, CA developed a novel assay, Digital Analysis of Selected Regions (DANSR), which sequences loci from only the chromosomes under investigation. The assay requires 10 times less DNA sequencing than MPSS approaches.
In the current study, the researchers report on a novel statistical algorithm, the Fetal-fraction Optimized Risk of Trisomy Evaluation (FORTE), which considers age-related risks and the percentage of fetal DNA in the sample to provide an individualized risk score for trisomy. Explains a

Followed the recipe precisely. My first bite reminded me of something from my 1960s Easy Bake Oven. My dad used to say it was the best chocolate cornbread he ever had. I thought the muffin tasted like chocolate cornbread. My second bite made me think of a mix...the muffin taste as if it's from a box, not homemade.flag if inappropriate
We LOVED this muffin recipe. We used fresh cherries but changed nothing else. It is not to sweet. So yummy warm. Very moist.flag if inappropriate
Didn't have quite enough bittersweet chocolate, so I improvised with some white chocolate. After reading everyone's reviews about them being not so sweet, I added a dash of almond extract for fun. Also, used frozen cherries (didn't have dried ones on hand), threw them into a saucepan for a bit to thaw/simmer, pulsed in food processor & added to mix. Great muffins.flag if inappropriate
These worked well for a big company meal in place of boring bread & butter. Next time I will do a few things differently, however. I used frozen cherries to get the moisture, but they weren't sweet enough. Next time, will try dried cherries boiled in white wine to reconstitute them. Also, I would cut the second part of the chocolate either in half or out entirely to make the chocolate flavor a little less heavy. Fact is, however, even without the changes, we just kept eating them.flag if inappropriate
These were excellent! I used frozen sour cherries I had bought last summer at the farmer's market. Not super-sweet, but with the dark chocolate, an excellent combination. Only took 15 minutes to bake, no changes otherwise.flag if inappropriate
My family loved the muffins. I used fresh cherries and added 3 tablespoons of cherry jam.flag if inappropriate
Not chocolaty enough and the chewey cherries in the muffins was just all wrong. Cherries would work in brownies...but muffins? No way. I won't be making this again.flag if inappropriate
A huge hit with my husband and son who are chocolate lovers.flag if inappropriate
Why all the bad reviews?! We thought these muffins were great! I found the recipe because I have quite a few fresh cherries I need to use, so I did make with fresh (pitted and quartered) rather than dried. Because some other testers found the muffins dry, I baked them for 10 minutes, checked (very underdone), then 12 (still underdone), and finally took them out at 14. I used high quality dark chocolate...maybe that has something to do with it...higher cocoa butter content? We will be making these again and again...I think they'd be great with blueberries, too!flag if inappropriate
These muffins were indeed dry. After having read the previous reviewer's comments about dryness, I used the full stick of butter instead of the 3/4 stick, and still they were dry. I really don't know why, either. I made a few adjustments for high altitude (I live at 7,000 ft.) but nothing that would have made them as dry as they were. Also, I even baked them for the minimum time. I probably should have taken them out of the oven at 10 minutes.flag if inappropriate
