HOUSTON - Findings from one of the largest cancer chemoprevention trials ever conducted have concluded that selenium and vitamin E taken alone or in combination for an average of five and a half years did not prevent prostate cancer, according to a team of researchers coordinated by the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) and led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and Cleveland Clinic.
Data and analysis gathered through Oct. 23, 2008, from the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT) were published in the Dec. 9 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) by Scott M. Lippman, M.D., professor and chair of Thoracic/Head and Neck Medical Oncology at M. D. Anderson, Eric A. Klein, M.D., of the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, and 30 coauthors from the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada.
Funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) with some additional contribution from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, the Phase III trial began recruitment in August 2001 and aimed to determine whether selenium, vitamin E, or both could prevent prostate cancer and other diseases in relatively healthy men. The study followed 35,533 participants from 427 sites in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blind trial divided the participants into four intervention groups: selenium, vitamin E, both selenium and vitamin E, and placebos.

Cloud Expo® New York Early Bird Savings here!
Server virtualization is no longer hype. It¹s reality. But as the infrastructure has converged, with server virtualization leading consolidation efforts, blind spots now exist causing more and more data to be hidden from enterprise tools. With more emphasis on data analysis for application performance and customer experience monitoring, virtualization teams are challenged to deliver visibility for virtual server traffic.
For VMware administrators 'monitoring' means CPU, memory and storage availability monitoring. In other words, what's going on with the underlying hardware resource capacity. But the business stakeholder, who is the ultimate client of the IT organization, is far more concerned about equating their spend on IT services to Customer Experience, application performance analysis, and their spend on IT services as a percentage of revenue.
Tools that are used to give the business the insights they need live on the physical network, but application and user traffic now resides in the hypervisor.
In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, David Reoch, Sr. Director of Cloud Solutions at Gigamon, will focus on the issues, and the business and technical capabilities of currently shipping solutions that give the tools access to the virtual infrastructure and converged infrastructure stacks.

Nawar has absolutely developed a professional way in conducting business that exceeded my expectations based on past experiences with realtors. I was fortunate to work with him and his team because I was kept aware of all the steps throughout the process, and Nawar was always available for me, day and night. I can't thank you enough, Nawar. I look forward to working with you again in the near future.

Team reviews
Nawar was referred to me from one of my good friends who purchased a home with him in 2014. He spoke very highly of him and suggest that I use him to find my family our dream home. Well, I'm very fortunate that I was able to meet Nawar and I got to witness first hand how professional, kind, dedication his work ethic is. He is an aggressive realtor that will do anything for you to get the home you want. He found exactly what we were looking for and made it one of the simplest transactions I have ever done. You won't be disappointed by choosing him to find or list your home!
I interviewed three realtors and selected Nawar to handle our short sale. He was knowledgeable in the processes and issues, and helped surmount obstacles as best as could be expected. While a short sale and a normal sale are similar, the short sale negotiations with the bank(s) and potential buyers requires a different set of knowledge and tactics - Nawar was familiar and adept at both.
Easiest and most productive transaction I've ever made. I will only use Nawar in the future for all my real estate transactions.....I'd be foolish not to.
It was a truly great experience purchasing my home with the Nawar Hirmiz. Nawar is an extremely talented professional. You almost don't feel like you are buying a home because every detail about the purchase is being managed and cared for by Nawar and his team. It was a truly smooth experience.
Nawar is someone you can depend on. He has a high level of professional integrity and is very loyal in representing the best interests of his clients.
If you truly want a particular house that you see listed, the chances of an accepted offer is very high with Nawar's guidance. In my experience, Nawar develops a very positive rapport with the listing agents. In the two purchases that I engaged in with Nawar, the sellers in each case selected my offer. I was chosen as the buyer even during very competitive bidding wars.
In addition, what I've noticed with Nawar compared with my other family and friends Realtor's is that he always answers the phone and is happy to speak with you...every time I call! With other real estate agents they are none to always be busy and non responsive with their phone manners, which to me is the largest factor, someone always available and you will receive very close attention to all your real estate needs. I'll always be referring Nawar to my friends and family!
Nawar helped us sell our home a few years ago. He was always available for my many questions and was so helpful in working with our lenders. He went above and beyond to close the deal and made the transition so smooth. He is our go to guy for everything real estate.
Nawar was fantastic to deal with during the entire process start to finish. He is knowledgeable and comfortable to work with even when the anxiety level gets high. Most importantly, Nawar knows the local market extremely well and has a good pulse of the activity. We will recommend him anytime the opportunity arises.
Nawar was not only very professional with his services to us, but at the same time very polite and friendly. My wife and I were very uninformed about doing a short sale, but Nawar was always patient and took the time to clear up any doubts or concerns that we had without making us feel like idiots in the matter.
As a 30 year Broker, developer and investor in Real Estate, Nawar Hirmiz has been instrumental in helping me to acquire, negotiate and properly price resales with keen acumen. He has clarity with current market trends and executes quickly. I can easily recommend Nawar Hirmiz to anyone wishing to purchase, sell or invest in Real Estate. Regards, DJ Wellington San Diego
Nawar Hirmiz is worth all these stars and then some - He is a pleasure to work with - he isn't your ordinary pushing Real Estate Agent, he is respectful, he listens and he gets the job done. It was a blessing I found him when I did - I had interview so many before him and it was a complete turn off - and then there is was. Whoever uses him will be pleased, I can promise that.

Any requests? Information commissioner issues code of practice on subject access
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has reissued a code of practice on subject access requests (SARs). The code was originally published last year but has been updated and re-issued. It explains the rights of individuals to access their personal data and sets out what data controllers (including employers) must do to comply with their duties under the Data Protection Act (DPA). Although there is no new law in the code, it is the ICO's interpretation of what the DPA requires organisations to do to comply with SARs. Compliance is not mandatory where the code goes beyond the basic requirements of the DPA but inevitably it will be easier for organisations to show that they have not breached the DPA if they have complied with the code.
SARs are simple and cheap to make and (unlike the rules on disclosure of information in court cases and tribunals) there is no requirement for any justification for a request. Hence they are regarded as a very useful tool for employees in disputes. There has been a good deal of publicity about the new code and this, combined with the abolition of discrimination questionnaires from next month, may lead to heavier reliance on SARs…

LEBANON, NH - The inaugural James W. Varnum National Quality Award was presented to Project SEARCH, a program of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), in a ceremony held on Wednesday, December 1, at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
Receiving the award were Project SEARCH co-founder Erin Riehle, MSN, RN, Sr. Clinical Director for Disability Services; and Dr. Linda Workman, Vice President of the Center for Professional Excellence at CCHMC.
The Varnum National Quality Award, named in honor of Jim Varnum, president of Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital for more than 28 years, was established by the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Board of Trustees to recognize "an outstanding national leader or team in health care quality improvement initiatives, especially improvements in which patients, families and staff work together to achieve organizational culture change." This inaugural award includes a dynamic, fully produced documentary video about Project SEARCH to serve as an educational tool and to help promote this pioneering program as it continues to evolve.
In presenting the award to Riehle and Workman, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Co-President Dr. James N. Weinstein, observed that Project SEARCH "is a bold, innovative venture that clearly embodies the spirit of Jim Varnum's legacy of service leadership, and the culture he created and fostered at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center: one of support, respect, and trust."
Since its founding in 1998 by Riehle and Susie Rutkowski, MEd, Project SEARCH has profoundly changed the culture at CCHMC. Through this visionary collaboration among health care, education and support services, many young people with cognitive or physical disabilities (including Down syndrome, Asperger syndrome and other autism spectrum disorders, traumatic brain injury or cerebral palsy), some who are former patients at CCHMC, have found meaningful jobs and more fulfilling lives.

Seriously, Jonathan Ressler?!?
We aren't too familiar with this artist's work, but we have to question his choice of subjects for his new "Extraordinary Women Exhibit."
With Hollywood auditions set to premiere next week on American Idol, the unofficial list of this season's final 36 contestants has been leaked.
Courtesy of the same blogger that provided us with a few finalists yesterday, here's a full look at everyone that reportedly moves on to the fan-voting rounds:
Khloe Kardashian kan't kompete with Kim Kardashian.
While the latter sister has made her relationship with a professional athlete (Reggie Bush) work for well over a year now, the former said distance became too much of a factor between her and Rashad McCants.
The House Bunny star Anna Faris will tie the knot with actor Chris Pratt, whose most recent acting appearance is in Bride Wars, her rep confirms to People.
"They got engaged late last year," says the rep.
Welcome to The Hollywood Gossip. We've added a whopping 352 new celebrity pictures to our gallery in the past week. Click to enlarge some classics below, then follow the jump for, like, hundreds more celebrity photos ...
The pre-game hype for Super Bowl XLIII can finally begin.
Kim Kardashian, her hotter sister Kourtney and boyfriend Reggie Bush touched down in Tampa yesterday for the big game.
As world-famous supermodels go, Bar Refaeli is no Marisa Miller.
But few are. We can't hold that against the Israeli stunner forever.
Ashton Kutcher apparently lost his $h!t earlier today when he was woken up by a neighbor, who started construction on a house at 7:30 in the morning.
Naturally, the actor picked up a camera and recorded this rant:

Every day until Halloween, I'm going to keep shelling out the worst "sexy" Halloween costumes on shelves this holiday season. Up next:
To Wikipedia, Native Americans are "indigenous peoples from North America [that] comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive as intact political communities." To the Halloween industry, Native Americans are super sexy! (As long as we're talking about large-breasted, thin white women dressing up as Native Americans, and not real Native Americans).
CostumeSupercenter.com devotes an entire category of sexy costume to "Indians." Above we have the "Tribal Tease Adult Costume"—already out-of-stock! Luckily, accompanying costume accessory "Black Sqaw Wig Adult" is still available. Did you know that "squaw" is a term widely considered demeaning to Native American women? Buy yours today.
We also have the "Woman's Sexy Pocahottie" Costume":
In case "Pocahottie" wasn't enough to convince you that this is a sexually arousing take on a historically persecuted indigenous group, the "Sexy" qualifier is there to hammer the racist eroticism into the ground. Next up, the "Indian Babe Adult Costume":
Is that a belly ring I see in there? Hot! Up next is my personal favorite: the "Adult Sexy Indian Dream Catcher Costume."
It comes with a vagina flap! And finally, we have the "Adult 2 Piece Sassy Native American Costume":
Ouch: "Sassy." What makes this Native American "sassy" instead of "sexy"? Is it the stiletto boots? No, Sexy Pocahottie is wearing those, too. Is it the hands-on-hips pose? Nope, Indian Babe has got it going on as well. Could it be that a company marketing sexualized tribal costumes to white women couldn't help but slip in a racially charged term? I'm betting yes!

Capital Inflows to Emerging Markets
Participants in an NBER project on "Capital Inflows to Emerging Markets," organized by Sebastian Edwards of NBER and the University of California, Los Angeles, gathered in Cambridge on February 20 and 21 to hear the following reports:
Sebastian Edwards, "Capital Flows, Real Exchange Rates, and Capital Controls: Latin American Experiences"
Discussant: Jose de Gregorio, University of Chile
Paul R. Krugman, NBER and MIT, "Fire-Sale FDI"
Discussant: Aaron Tornell, NBER and Harvard University
Enrique Mendoza, Duke University, and Guillermo Calvo, University of Maryland, "Contagion, Globalization, and the Volatility of Capital Flows"
Discussant: Rudiger Dornbusch, NBER and MIT
Stijn Claessens, Daniel Oks, and Rossana Polastri, The World Bank, "Capital Flows to Central and Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union"
Discussant: Michael P. Dooley, NBER and University of California, Santa Cruz
Philippe Bachetta, Studienzentrum, Gerzensee, and Eric Van Wincoop, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, "Capital Flows to Emerging Markets: Liberalization, Overshooting, and Volatility"
Discussant: Carmen Reinhardt, University of Maryland
Geert Bekaert, NBER and Stanford University, and Campbell R. Harvey, NBER and Duke University, "Capital Flows and the Behavior of Emerging Market Equity Returns"
Discussant: James Conklin, Lehman Brothers
Holger C. Wolf, NBER and New York University, "Is There a Curse of Location? Spatial Determinants of Capital Flows to Emerging Markets"
Discussant: Miguel Savastano, International Monetary Fund
Barry Eichengreen, NBER and International Monetary Fund, and Ashoka Mody, University of Pennsylvania, "What Explains the Falling Spreads on Emerging-Market Debt: Fundamentals or Irrational Exuberance?"
Discussant: Sylvia Maxfield, Yale University
Takatoshi Ito, NBER and Hitotsubashi University, "Capital Flows in Asia"
Discussants: David Folkerts-Landau, International Monetary Fund, and Dani Rodrik, NBER and Harvard University
Edwards discusses Latin America's experience during the last 25 years regarding the effects of capital flows on real exchange rates and international competitiveness, and then focuses on the role of capital controls as a device for isolating emerging economies from the volatility of international capital markets. His empirical analysis of Chile's recent experiences with capital controls, and comparisons to Colombia's and Mexico's recent experiences, is particularly important because many analysts have praised the Chilean practice of imposing reserve requirements on capital inflows to reduce the vulnerability associated with the volatility of capital flows.
Krugman draws attention to and stimulates discussion of the phenomenon of fire-sale foreign direct investment (FDI). which is likely to become a major economic and political issue in the coming years. He indicates the ways this phenomenon might emerge in the context of alternative crisis models. Finally, he examines the welfare implications of crisis-induced sales of domestic assets to foreign firms and asks how those implications depend on the diagnosis of the crisis itself.
Mendoza shows that globalization of securities markets exacerbates the volatility of capital flows by strengthening the incentives that promote contagion. His model includes imperfect information: country-specific information can be acquired at a fixed cost, and portfolio managers bear certain variable costs that depend on portfolio performance. Using historical data from equity markets and country credit ratings. he shows that contagion can induce large capital outflows from emerging markets. Further, globalization has a large magnifying effect on contagion.
Claessens, Oks, and Polastri observe that private capital flows to Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union have increased sharply. From 1992-6, FDI was the most important capital flow, but recently flows of short-term debt have become more important. …

4 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Helpful (1)
Technician Interview
I applied online. I interviewed at TEKsystems (Birmingham, AL).
They made the job sound ALOT better than it really was. Told me I would be working day shift in the interview process than at the very last second told me it was night work. They knew this all along but didn't want to disclose that up front. They lied to me about several other things as well. I don't think I will do any more business with them in the near future. The recruiters are not up front and honest. If you decide to work with this company... BEWARE!
Interview Questions
- The interview process was not that bad... just a bunch of lies. Answer Question
Other Interview Reviews for TEKsystems
Technician InterviewNo OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. I interviewed at TEKsystems (Metairie, LA).
The interview I attended was great they informed me of the things they do at tek systems but they failed to advise me of anything about the contractor needs of using personal vehicles and when I told them about it the first thing they said was of course you were instructed to use your personal vehicle lies lies lies
Technician InterviewAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TEKsystems (Lansing, MI) in July 2010.
I had one phone interview with the Tek Systems recruiter and one phone interview with the client I would be working for. Both interviews were informal and not challenging technically.
Interview Questions
- None really. The questions were more based on my background. Very few technical questions and the ones I were asked were easy for me to answer. Answer Question
The pay was low for what I do but I accepted their first offer because I needed a job and the client they placed me with was a place that I really wanted to work at. After 6 months I was hired by the client.
Technician InterviewDeclined OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at TEKsystems (New York, NY) in June 2009.
I wanted to work for tek systems in Long Island years befoe that but by the time they got around to transferring my info there I already had a more stable job.

Our stories regarding food, travel and life in Sicily...
loveSicily Blog
Lemon, fennel and oregano bread in terracotta moulds.
Posted on Wednesday 02nd of November 2011 under Food and Drink
The 2nd of November is "U juornu re muorti" the special day dedicated to those who are no longer with us. As I have described in previous posts, people visit the cemetery taking flowers and candles to the graves of dead relatives and friends, and, in Sicily, children find presents `brought' to them by the "muorti".
But today we are all at home due to really heavy rain. It has been raining for more than 48 hours non-stop, roads and fields are covered in mud and we decided to stay home.
My choice of leaving the UK and starting a cooking school in Sicily on Psychologies magazine
Posted on Thursday 06th of October 2011 under About loveSicily
This month our family choice of leaving the UK to move to Sicily to start a new life and career, back in 2004, is featured on Psychologies magazine in Italy.
Leave our post-doctoral careers to move to Sicily and open a cooking school?
Many thought we were crazy, many still think so! Others found us brave! Others understood this was simply a choice, neither bad nor good, just a choice with an unpredictable outcome, like all other important decisions you take in a lifetime!
Pears, Pizzuta Almonds and Vanilla Cake
Posted on Tuesday 27th of September 2011 under Recipes
Big storm today, lots of rain and a sudden temperature drop. Automn is here and I decided it was time for my pears, vanilla and Sicilian almonds cake.
Enojy it for breakfast with a good "caffe e latte" or a vanilla flavoured black tea.
2 pears
100 g finely grounded toasted almonds with the peal on
120 g sugar + 2 tablespoons (to sprinkle over the cake before baking)
110g flour
1 teaspoon baking powder for cakes
2 eggs
60 ml milk
1 paste of one vanilla pod
Cooking with a Unicredit Bank Team
Posted on Friday 23rd of September 2011 under Events
Lots of fun last Monday with a team of Ragusani from Unicredit Bank in the kitchen. It was no team-building exercise as this was already a well-jelled team, a group of people who work so well together to win a prize as Sicily's best Unicredit team. The prize? A a plaque, of course, and a cooking lesson with loveSicily ;)!
So besides the managers coming from Milan and Genoa, we were a loud bunch of Sicilians in the kitchen. It was real fun!
A Sicilian interpretation of Chef Colonna's Cacio e Pepe

From Rome's style pasta Cacio e Pepe to loveSicily's ragusano cheese and chilli pepper version.
Chocolate, wine and grapes cakes. Vendemmia 2011
Posted on Thursday 08th of September 2011 under Food and Drink | Recipes
To welcome the new "vendemmia" (grape harvest season) I worked on a cake of mine, a 100% cocoa and Frappato wine cake, and developed a new recipe for individual small, muffins like cake with a heart of "drank" grapes.
I chose red grapes produced in Mazzarrone, cleaned them, cut them in half and removed the seeds. Then I soaked them in Nero d'Avola passito wine for a couple of hours in the fridge.
Pasta e cucuzza
Posted on Monday 29th of August 2011 under Food and Drink | Recipes
Sicilian summer recipes include some healthy hot soups. One of the main ingredients for some of these is a long shaped kind of courgette that we simply call cucuzza. We also use "tinniruma" (tenerumi), cucuzza's greens, in summer recipes.
You can find it in markets and even in supermarkets, but this time I got it from Angelo's father in law who has a passion for gardening and made a fantastic vegetable garden to produce organic vegetables for its family.
Almond Harvest 1981 -2011: the legacy is in your taste buds!
Posted on Saturday 27th of August 2011 under About loveSicily | Food and Drink
A few years ago I wrote a post talking about my childwood in August explaining how it was not only a time for holidays, the beach, "ferragosto" (15th of August) celebration but also for family gathering in Ispica to harvest almonds and carobs.
My grandmother, Nonna Marietta, daughter of "U Massa Titta" (Titta, or Giambattista Cultrera who was a farmer) had inherited an almond grove dotted with carob trees and we all had to go to help out during the harvest time.
What's Spatulidda o Pesce Sciabola? Silver Scabbard Fish
Posted on Thursday 25th of August 2011 under Food and Drink | Recipes
One of my favourite fish is "pesce sciabola", in Sicilian spatulidda.
Most non-Italian guests, when I cook this fish in my cooking classes, ask me what it is.
I answer saying that in English the name is scabbard fish, but it doesn't seem to ring any bell at all.
So I thought about writing a small post with pictures to explain a little bit more.
Keeping in touch with loveSicilians...
Posted on Tuesday 23rd of August 2011 under About loveSicily
It is such a pleasure to receive greetings and news from loveSicilians, people who have been on our culinary tours and spent a full week of cooking, eating, drinking and discovering Sicily with us while sharing some thoughts, ideas and life stories.

1. E-Readers
In case you're wondering, E-Readers is just as the name indicates, these are hand-held electronic devices which let users read books. They are also called digital or electronic readers. Probably the best known E-Reader is the Amazon Kindle which was introduced in 2007 and according to a recent Time article, Amazon has already sold 1.7 million units. Not to be outdone, Barnes AND Noble has launched its own E-Reader call the NOOK , which retails for around $260.

FAQs: For Test of Academic Proficiency (TAP) Examinees
What is the Test of Academic Proficiency? What happened to the Illinois Basic Skills test?
The Test of Academic Proficiency (TAP) is the Illinois test of basic skills. It is administered exclusively as a computer-based test and is not offered at paper-based test administrations.
The test consists of the following subtests:
- Reading Comprehension (401)
- Language Arts (402)
- Mathematics (403)
- Writing (404)
The ILTS Basic Skills test was replaced by the ILTS TAP in 2012.
Do not confuse the Test of Academic Proficiency with the Assessment of Professional Teaching (APT) test, which is the ILTS pedagogy test.
It is the individual's responsibility to take the appropriate test(s). Review the guidelines in "Who Is Required to Take the Tests?" If you have questions about which test(s) you are required to take, contact your college advisor, your licensure officer, or the regional office of education through which you are applying for licensure.
What if I have already taken and passed one of the ILTS Basic Skills (300) subtests?
If an examinee has previously passed one or more Basic Skills (300) subtests, the passing score(s) will automatically be applied toward the passing of the TAP. However, test scores from the previous ILTS Basic Skills test model (096) (administered prior to September 11, 2010) cannot be applied to fulfill passing requirements for the TAP.
For example, a passing score on the Basic Skills Reading Comprehension subtest (301) will be applied to the TAP Reading Comprehension Subtest (401).
When will I receive my score report?
Scores for the Test of Academic Proficiency are reported within 2 to 4 weeks of your test date. See "Score Reporting" on the ILTS website for a list of score report dates. Unofficial test results for the multiple-choice subtests will be available at the test center immediately after testing.
Can I register for and take each subtest separately?
Examinees taking the Test of Academic Proficiency can register for all four subtests in one test session or for one subtest independently. If you register for only one subtest, you will receive an Authorization to Test for a one-subtest session. The one-subtest session includes two hours and thirty minutes of testing time.
How much does the Test of Academic Proficiency cost?
Examinees can register for all four subtests in one test session or for one subtest independently. The total fee for registering for all four subtests is $113, and the total fee for registering for one subtest is $68.
When is the earliest I can retake the Test of Academic Proficiency?
If you take the complete TAP (all four subtests) and you do not pass one or more of the subtests or choose not to take one or more subtests during your test session, the earliest appointment you can schedule for a retake of the non-passed or untaken subtest(s) will be 60 days after your test date.
If you take a single subtest and do not pass, the earliest appointment you can schedule to retake the same subtest will be 60 days after your test date.
What study materials are available for the Test of Academic Proficiency?
In addition to a free study guide and the test frameworks, the following materials are available for examinees preparing for the Test of Academic Proficiency (select "Prepare" on the ILTS website):
Interactive practice test. $17.95 for individual practice tests, $29.95 for the bundle of all three practice tests (Reading Comprehension, Language Arts and Writing, and Mathematics). The practice test includes:
- Convenient, online access to a full-length practice test
- Comprehensive feedback on your performance
- Interactive, diagnostic score report
- Rationales explaining the correct response to each sample multiple-choice question
- Sample strong and weak responses to a sample written assignment

Inspector General Krongard testified about accusations of insufficient oversight and interference with State Department investigations for political reasons. In a contentious hearing, the inspector general denied the accusations, including a $144 million cost overrun on the construction of the new Baghdad embassy. He testified that his brother had no connection with the Blackwater Security Firm, but later in his testimony said that his brother Alvin Krongard served on Blackwater's advisory board. He then removed himself from any future investigations of Blackwater Worldwide. close

The researchers noted that much attention has been given to the possibilities of crowd-sourcing and game playing in scientific discovery. Their results indicate the potential for integrating online video games into real-world science.
Dr. Seth Cooper, of the UW Department of Computing Science and Engineering, is a co-creator of Foldit and its lead designer and developer. He studies human-computer exploration methods and the co-evolution of games and players.
"People have spatial reasoning skills, something computers are not yet good at," Cooper said. "Games provide a framework for bringing together the strengths of computers and humans. The results in this week's paper show that gaming, science and computation can be combined to make advances that were not possible before."
Games like Foldit are evolving. To piece together the retrovirus enzyme structure, Cooper said, gamers used a new Alignment Tool for the first time to copy parts of know molecules and test their fit in an incomplete model.
"The ingenuity of game players," Khatib said, "is a formidable force that, if properly directed, can be used to solve a wide range of scientific problems.
According to Popovic, "Foldit shows that a game can turn novices into domain experts capable of producing first-class scientific discoveries. We are currently applying the same approach to change the way math and science are taught in school."

Key people
Erik Telford, PresidentWilliam Swaim, Managing Editor
The Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity is an online news organization in the United States that publishes news and commentary from a free market, limited government perspective on state and local governance and politics.[1][2][3][4][5]
According to the organization's mission statement, the Franklin Center was founded "to address falling standards in the media as well as a steep falloff in reporting on state government and provides professional training; research, editorial, multimedia and technical support; and assistance with marketing and promoting the work of a nationwide network of nonprofit reporters."[6]
Erik Telford serves as the organization's president.[7]
The Franklin Center was founded in 2009 with an initial sponsorship grant from the Sam Adams Alliance.[8] The organization was originally based in Bismarck, North Dakota and is currently headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia.[9]
In 2011, Donors Trust and Donors Capital Fund, two affiliated donor-advised funds, made a US$6.3 million donation to the Franklin Center.[10] The amount was 95% of the Franklin Center's revenue that year and was the second-largest grant made by Donors Trust that year.[11] For tax years 2011 through 2013, the Franklin Center received US$22 million from the two funds, which do not disclose the original donors.[12]
News bureaus and affiliates[edit]
In September 2009, the Franklin Center launched Watchdog.org, a network of state-based journalists who investigate and report on state and local government. Watchdog.org covers news that involves "public officials, public programs and the taxpayer money that supports them." The network includes affiliates in Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming.[13][14]
In early 2012, the Franklin Center created a platform for citizen journalism under a banner called Watchdog Wire.[15] The Watchdog Wire website states that the it "exists to train citizens just like you to be citizen journalists and provide a place to feature your work. By covering stories in your local community that are otherwise ignored by the establishment media, you can make a difference! We partner with you to provide the training, the platform and the coaching you need to be government watchdogs in your own cities and states."[16][17]
The Franklin Center provides training for investigative reporters, state-based news organizations, public-policy institutions, and watchdog groups.[18]
On May 10, 2011, Franklin Center journalist Lynn Campbell of IowaPolitics.com was named moderator for the 2012 Presidential Candidate Series.[19]
In June 2012 the Franklin Center teamed up with the Heritage Foundation to host the first annual Breitbart Awards dinner.[20] The awards honored the life and work of the late Andrew Breitbart who "pioneered a new media revolution that transformed journalism and the political landscape."[21] The 2012 award winners included Washington Examiner journalist Philip Klein, Citizen Journalist Andrew Marcus, and the Ace of Spades blog.[22] Syndicated columnist and Fox News Channel contributor Michelle Malkin took home the honors in 2013.[23]
At Conservative Political Action Conference 2013, Erik Telford of the Franklin Center served on a panel discussing "Current trends in technology."[24] During the two-day conference the Franklin Center ran a promotion using an over-sized costume of Ben Franklin meeting and greeting conference participants.[25] Individuals who had their picture taken with the mascot and tweeted the photo received free drink tickets.[25]
Awards and recognition[edit]
In November 2010, Franklin Center reporters at Marylandreporter.com and Illinois Statehouse News were honored by the National Association of Capitol Reporters and Editors.[26] MarylandReporter.com editor and publisher Len Lazarick won the first place Cappie award for coverage in the online news category."[27] The judges also gave Lazarick a third place award in the category "Online: In-depth." Journalist Kevin Lee of Illinois Statehouse News won the Online In-depth Reporting Award for his investigation into the General Assembly Scholarship Program in Illinois.[27]
The Franklin Center's Maryland affiliate, Maryland Reporter, has won awards from the Washington chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists and from CapitolBeat, the national Association of Capitol Reporters and Editors. In 2012, Maryland Reporter was named Maryland's best political website by Baltimore Magazine. Maryland Reporter was also named one of the best state-based political blogs in the nation by the Washington Post.[28][29][30]
In August 2011, MarylandReporter.com was awarded a $50,000 grant by the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation to provide "in-depth coverage of Maryland state government and politics and to expand capacity by giving those who plan on entering journalism as a career real-world experience in investigative reporting supervised by veteran journalists."[31]
The Society of Professional Journalists has presented awards to reporters for CapitolBeatOK, HawaiiReporter.com, and New Jersey Watchdog.[32][33][34] New Jersey Watchdog has also won two New York Press Club awards.[35]
GreenTech Automotive investigation[edit]
The Franklin Center published a series of articles that raised questions about GreenTech Automotive and its presumed chairman, Governor of Virginia Terry McAuliffe. The investigation exposed the company's reliance on a controversial fundraising program, EB-5, that has been criticized for its lax oversight and subject to abuse.[36] The investigation also revealed that McAuliffe's public projections, starting back in 2010, of how many cars would be built and jobs created had not come to fruition.[37] In April 2013, it was revealed that McAuliffe had left the green energy car-maker in December of the previous year.[38]
Green Tech Automotive filed an $85 million libel lawsuit against Franklin Center on April 8, 2013 in a Mississippi court.[39] Franklin Center described the suit as "intimidation" and pledged to continue investigating GTA and McAuliffe.[40][41] In July 2014, a federal judge in Mississippi dismissed Green Tech's case. Green Tech's appeal is pending before a federal appeals court.[42]

PSA org to use social sites in over half of its 50 campaigns this year.
Alterian and the CMO Council recently released surveys where each found more than 60 percent of marketers are shifting to social media/online and away from more-traditional advertising. And nonprofit players appear to be moving in a similar direction.
"More than half of our 50 campaigns have a social media program of some kind now," said Ellyn Fisher, director of corporate communications for the New York-based The Ad Council. "That certainly wasn't the situation just a few years ago."
The Ad Council's most-recent initiative provides a case in point, helping the Arthritis Foundation build buzz before "Arthritis Awareness Month" in May. With an assist from New York-based design firm Avasio, the nonprofit has launched a micro-site, FightArthritisPain.org, for the campaign. The site features a message board for arthritis sufferers to swap treatment ideas, a risk assessment quiz, and a bevy of other educationally driven tools.
The organization's pages for Facebook (7,910 "fans") and Twitter (1,770 "followers") are also being leveraged in an effort spearheaded by social media agency YouCast. For instance, two :30 video clips from recent PSAs can be viewed on the Facebook page, said Deb Neuman, chief external relations officer for the Atlanta-based Arthritis Foundation. Neuman - who has spent seven years working for multiple nonprofits - said social media marketing is quickly growing in her niche.
"Social media is [powerful] in how you can help people engage with your cause," she explained. "And we've seen that in the foundation."
On Feb. 2, a handful of campaign-specific videos were put up at Arthritis Foundation's YouTube channel. "[The foundation] also just finished a user-generated contest on YouTube," said Fisher from The Ad Council. "[It] is going to do something similar to coincide with 'Arthritis Awareness Month.'"
A larger awareness drive will run intermittently for three years, Fisher explained, while including display ads developed with the help of creative agency Y&R. Banners started running last weekend over networks such as AOL and MSN, she said, as well as on sites like NYTimes.com, CNN.com, and iVillage.com, among others.
An e-mail with a link to the Web site and one of the clips was sent earlier this week to the Arthritis Foundation's list of more than 50,000. "The problem with arthritis is that it makes people fear the pain associated with moving," Fisher explained. "The campaign is designed to be fun, user-friendly, light-hearted. We tested the [microsite] with the ads with the target audience, and they found them to be motivating."
Another nonprofit, the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC), has been running a campaign against cyber-bullying that leans on YouTube. The effort entails a :32 clip of an adolescent boy who begins reading a poem about dolphins crying before dramatically changing topics and explaining the unfortunate results of cyber-bullying. New York-based Saatchi and Saatchi - the NCPC's agency for six decades - created the campaign, which also involves YouTube as an official partner.
"There are lots of nasty comments on YouTube," said James Cooper, interactive creative director for Saatchi and Saatchi. "If we can get just less people [cyber-bullying] on YouTube, then that was our idea - rather than it being this huge, national campaign."
The video has been viewed more than 625,000 times since being released about a month ago. "The media costs are next-to-nothing when you do something like YouTube," Cooper added. "It's just a really smart way to put some messages out and see what happens, while [collecting] information for future campaigns."
Christopher Heine was a senior writer for ClickZ through June 2012. He covered social media, sports/entertainment marketing, retail, and more. Heine's work has also appeared via Mashable, Brandweek, DM News, MarketingSherpa, and other tech- and ad-centric publications. USA Today, Bloomberg Radio, and The Los Angeles Times have cited him as an expert journalist.
