The year in review for Star Trek Online has been published. Along with a look back at all the team accomplished in the year that was, the team also hinted that the next expansion will arrive in late 2014 and will Delta Quadrant will play a prominent role in it.
Season 8 introduced the Voth, our first space adventure zone, and our first battle zone. It also kicked off the storyline that takes us into the coming year. What is the real back story of the Dyson sphere? This story will unfold in featured episodes planned for the fourth anniversary and in Season 9. We won't give too much away just yet, but we can hint that the Delta Quadrant, as explored in Star Trek: Voyager, will be taking a larger role in the coming year.All told, it's been a fantastic year for STO, and we're really looking forward to 2014. We thank you all for spending your time in Star Trek Online with us, and wish you all the best in this holiday season!
The Star Trek Online Team
Read the full letter on the Star Trek Online site.
Good news, would enjoy some Delta Quadrant fun.
Overall, I agree it's been a great year for STO. The game keeps getting better over time - it's miles away from where it was at launch.
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil

Actually, it just mentions season 9, not really a next expansion. Reading too much into it methinks.
You must have missed this part:
Your enthusiastic support has put another expansion on the schedule for late in 2014.
In fact, the article of this site missed it, since it's in the letter on the official site here: http://sto.perfectworld.com/news/?p=1065181
"What is the real back story of the Dyson sphere?"
For some reason, the first thing that popped in my head after reading this was the dyson vacuum lol. Anyways, I don't play STO, but I'm happy to hear fans will get another expac!
Season 9 (May actually grow to become another expansion)

President Jacob Zuma has drawn a line under recent violent protests in South Africa, not least by appointing a tough police commissioner, Bheki Cele, with a strong track record of fighting crime. He has also placed fighting poverty and crime at the top of the political agenda and reaffirmed the right of citizens to engage in peaceful protest in pursuance of their grievances.
It is because of this renewed sense of hope and empowerment that expectations have risen countrywide since the elections in April, and it is why the annual wage negotiations and heightened public awareness of the need to make local government accountable to the people have escalated into what appears to be a countrywide protest.
People are angry about the lack of service delivery over the past 15 years and they have a right to be – in some areas. But we must not lose sight of the huge progress that has been made with the provisions of clean water, electricity and housing throughout the country. The ruling African National Congress (ANC) will not be diverted from its programme to improve the lives of the poor even in times of recession. And we will also be at the forefront of managing the inevitable tensions between rising expectations, which are necessary, and the constraints imposed on government by the current recession and lower growth rates which are beyond our control.
The ANC is very clear that we have a great deal more work to do to improve the social conditions of people in our country. Perceptions of corruption and favouritism regarding tenders and employment frequently underlie the grievances. Often they are seen as corruption even when practices have not infringed any laws.
We see recent protests as rooted in local issues rather than reflecting a national agenda. Some of the protests have occurred in areas where basic services have been delivered. The ANC not only understands the problem but also has put in place mechanisms to deal with grievances, including the tackling of corruption.
Legislation is being debated which would bar public servants from involvement in other business ventures. We have met with the residents in most of the affected areas. In some areas, new water and sewerage infrastructure can be implemented only by moving shack dwellers from land allocated for the projects. This leads to anxiety and in the instance of Diepsloot, a high-density community north of Johannesburg, has led to protests.
We are determined to redress the developmental backlog we have inherited. But it is a matter of planning and budgeting and cannot be haphazard or achieved overnight. Our reality in South Africa is that urbanisation and the settlement of job-seekers in the urban centres is often not respectful of well laid out plans.
The recent labour strikes are an annual occurrence in our democracy. The ANC respects the rights of workers to declare disputes with employers and to strike if there is a deadlock. But we condemn in the strongest possible terms the violence that has accompanied some of the action. On appointing the new police commissioner, President Zuma both condemned the violence and insisted that those guilty of looting, trashing of streets, damaging property and attacks on individuals be arrested and charged.
The President has clearly indicated his resolve to maintain South Africa's vibrant economy in his first 100 days in office. He has delivered on his commitment to maintain the economic policies which have served the country well over the past 15 years. At the same time he has committed government to a social agenda aimed at achieving social cohesion alongside economic stability.
We are also mindful of the responsibility on our shoulders as a socio-economic microcosm of the world: if countries like South Africa, India and Brazil cannot develop a more equitable and sustainable system then humanity and as a whole is in trouble.
The ANC-led government has over the past 15 years made significant progress in transforming our economy and our society since the first democratic elections in 1994. South Africa is a developing country with immense potential: we are a democracy and a nation of people determined to succeed.

Turk Convicted in Spy Case Called Harmful to U.S.
By STEPHEN ENGELBERG, Special to The New York Times
Published: July 21, 1989
SAVANNAH, Ga., July 20— A Federal jury today convicted a Turkish national of conspiracy to commit espionage in a case that Government officials say has severely damaged American eavesdropping efforts abroad.
The defendant, Huseyin Yildirim, 62 years old, remained impassive as the jury of 10 women and 2 men delivered the sentence after more than six hours of deliberation.
Mr. Yildirim faces a term of up to life in prison. No sentencing date was set. His lawyer, Lamar Walter, said he planned to appeal.
When he was charged last year with conspiracy to commit espionage, Mr. Yildirim was viewed by investigators as a simple courier who had delivered documents stolen by James W. Hall, a former Army warrant officer who was convicted by court-martial earlier this year for his part in the case. The Investigation Goes On
But officials say a wide-ranging inquiry has since uncovered evidence that Mr. Yildirim used his job as an automotive repair instructor at an Army listening post in Berlin to ''run'' other servicemen as spies. Frederick Kramer, the Assistant United States Attorney who prosecuted the case, said the investigation was continuing, but he declined to provide details.
The indictment of Mr. Yildirim was limited solely to his dealings with Mr. Hall, who is now serving a 40-year sentence on his conviction of espionage earlier this year.
Evidence at the trial showed that Mr. Hall had betrayed to East Germany or the Soviet Union at least six eavesdropping projects, identified only as Projects A through F. These included at least one high-technology project, still under construction, that relied on outposts in at least half a dozen places around the world. Mr. Hall was the project manager for this effort at Fort Stewart, Ga., when he was arrested.
The main evidence against Mr. Yildirim was a videotape in which Mr. Hall related his activities to ''Vladimir,'' an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who posed as a Soviet intelligence officer.
Mr. Hall boasted of the valuable material he had provided for the Soviet Union and East Germany and said greed was his sole motivation. He said he had neutralized one eavesdropping project before it was turned on, prompting ''Vladimir'' to ask: ''So, before you even turned it on, our side knew already?''
''I hope so,'' Mr. Hall replied, with a laugh. ''I don't know personally. As long as I get my money, you can do whatever with what I give you.''
The American authorities are still assessing the damage these activities caused. Mr. Hall's former commanding officer testified that in addition to details about American eavesdropping posts, Mr. Hall was privy to intelligence documents drawn in part from reports by agents.
Such documents never identify agents by name and are supposed to be drafted in a way that obscures the source of the information. Several officials have said this precaution can be breached by an opposing intelligence service if it can obtain enough American documents. No Evidence on Networks
A Bush Administration official in Washington asserted that there was no evidence at this point that Mr. Hall's espionage had harmed spy networks operated by the Central Intelligence Agency. The official said he could not address whether other American agencies with human ''assets'' were similarly unaffected.
A document introduced into evidence at the Yildirim trial shows that Mr. Hall's East German handlers specifically asked him to find out what information used by the American military came from C.I.A. contacts.
Mr. Hall was not called as a witness in the trial, and it is not clear whether he was able to comply with that request. Several Government officials said that as an Army intelligence analyst, he would not have had access to any raw material gathered by the C.I.A.
Evidence presented at the trial also showed that Mr. Hall had turned over to the Eastern bloc extensive operations plans compiled by the military in preparation for a war in Europe. One document, a ''Dear Friend'' letter, shows Mr. Hall's handlers asking for missing volumes from a 1983 operations plan compiled by the Army's European command. Six Years of Spying
The case brought to light several examples of security lapses in the United States Army. Witnesses acknowledged that Army officers missed many opportunities to detect Mr. Hall's six years of spying.
Mr. Walter, Mr. Yildirim's defense lawyer, told the jury that Mr. Hall had given his military colleagues at least six conflicting stories to explain his lavish style of living.
Mr. Hall said he had been scheduled for a polygraph, or lie detector, examination after the uproar over the spate of spy cases in 1985. It was never carried out because, he said, the Army lacked sufficient numbers of trained examiners.
Mr. Yildirim, early in the inquiry into his case, told the F.B.I. that he had not turned over documents provided by Mr. Hall to East Germany, instead burying them in a graveyard in East Germany.
Later, he contended that an Army intelligence officer, now dead, authorized him to provide ''doctored'' documents to the East Germans. In response to questions from Mr. Walter, several of the Army witnesses who had been stationed in Germany said they did not know the man Mr. Yildirim says authorized his activities. 'Big Cover-Up,' Girlfriend Says
Mr. Yildirim's girlfriend, Peggy Bie, was in court today when the sentence was read. She said later that the true story remained untold. ''This is a big cover-up and a lynching,'' she complained.
The three-day trial has been conducted with unusually tight security at the Federal courthouse in this sweltering coastal city. A Justice Department official, flanked by two Defense Department colleagues, sat at a special table, poised to stop the proceedings if they verged toward the disclosure of any classified information.
Federal District Judge B. Avant Edenfield, who presided, sealed all documents related to the case shortly after the indictment was returned. Even the docket sheet was kept from the public.

I first heard about Tartarus where I hear everything else these days- Facebook. There were ominous rumblings of a book, an author, a story, a heroine and in the light of the recent 50 Shades of Grey phenomenon- people were intrigued.
Now don't wet your pants, Tartarus is no Mommy porn. In fact, if you're after a bit of a slushy, passive-aggressive novel- 50 Shades is probably your safest bet.
However, for those of you still reading. For those of you after something a bit more..gritty:
Welcome to Tartarus
Hate is a strong word. But you've never met Diane Stillman. After Britain's war in 1996 between the Humans and the "Freaks", a damaged Diane Stillman is left with the rubble of what was her life. Living above a putrid world where she knows her sister's killer hides, her existence revolves around retribution.
Tartarus- the Underground City of the Vampires- the freaks- a place with their own rules and regulations. With Government becoming deaf and dumb to her pleas for help, and constant Night Terrors of a figure she calls, "The Man", Diane moves to the decaying world below to track her sister's executioner herself. But eyes follow her in choking black ink of Tartarus and something is determined to find her first. Unknowingly hunted for being last of the mysterious Stillman bloodline, and finding herself auctioned off as a blood-whore to a possessive Vampire Lord, Diane finds herself starting to evolve into the very thing she's afraid of.
A monster…
Have you ever wondered what would happen if The Exorcist, Constantine, True Blood, and Tomb Raider got together and created a book-baby? Well, I have, and the answer is Tartarus. Some may argue that this genre has been overdone of late, and my response is- this is different. It's dirtier somehow. It's right-down-in-the-thick-of-it, blood everywhere: DIRTY. As Diane Stillman sinks deeper into the dark world of Tartarus, so does the reader. The visuals the author conjures up as she descends, will leave you wanting to switch more lights on. The further Diane goes, and the more she entangles herself in all aspects of the web that is Tartarus, the quicker you will turn the page.
You won't expect to be outsmarted by this book, but you will be. The pace is galloping, and just when you feel it's safe to take a breath, the author will remind you of something from thirty pages ago, and you're off again. Dramatic events below ground in Tartarus are punctuated by Diane's own vivid recollections of events above ground. Nightmares. Her sister's murder. The blackness that has seemed to follow her family for generations. These flash in and out of Diane's mind as she struggles to conquer the demons of Tartarus, as well as her own.
This book is as raw as Diane Stillman's soul. It is not refined, it is not polished. But this is Diane's story and she's got important sh*t to do.
Tartarus will take you down deeper than you've ever been before. You will feel every inch of the descent, as the author plunges Diane into an underworld like no other. As Diane battles, bleeds and screams, and the book draws to a close, the readers will find themselves shouting for the next installment.
Tartarus will be available to purchase from the 12th August 2012. Preorder your copy now from Amazon and Waterstones.

Planned to go live this Monday, June 6th, Nintendo's newest foray into the online game download space will hopefully prove more fruitful than their last ventures on the DS and Wii. To entice 3DS owners, Nintendo plans to have Excitebike 3D and a 3D Pokedex application for free on the eShop's launch. Excitebike isn't seeing too many drastic changes from its original, besides 3D and an added track editor. The Pokedex application is a bit more interesting, however. Here are the full details:
Pokédex 3D will be available at the launch of the Nintendo 3DS eShop. It's a free application that allows you to view all the new Pokémon from Pokémon Black and White, along with details about those Pokémon and their moves. But there's only sixteen Pokémon in your Pokédex at first, so you have to scan in new entries via QR Codes or by trading data with friends. Plus, there's an augmented reality mode that sounds like you can take photos of Pokémon in the real world using the question block card.
Look for Pokedex 3D and Excitebike 3D when the 3DS's eShop launches June 6th.

2.8 /5 from 22 reviews
When we arrived they didn't have the room I booked instead gave me a smoke free room which we could smoke in with their permission. As soon as we went into our room the carpet was torn up, fire alarm was messed up didn't know honestly if it would work, bathroom tiles were missing to the point we just wanted to leave, and screen was broken put so we couldn't sleep with the window open unless we wanted bugs in our room. For breakfast they had biscuits and gravy but the biscuits were burned from the bottom to middle. Over all would not suggest people to stay.
Room was mediocre; dirty carpet, not enough pillows and the bed was hard as a rock, and breakfast was underwhelming. We had a dog traveling with us and this is the cheaper of the only two motels in town that are pet-friendly. Wouldn't stay here again unless we had to.
Despite outside temperatures in the 20's, for some reason the window was wide open when I entered the room. Even with the heat on full blast, the room remained chilly for the duration of my stay. Towels were threadbare and bedding not nearly warm enough.
They did not clean my room after the first night, only after the second. I stayed for three nights total. Carpet was dirty and A/C barely worked. Fridge/microwave were very old but worked ok.
need to update the outlets in rooms now that everyone has electrical devices that need to be charged at night. need television guide in room so people can find a television channel to watch. a comfortable chair in room would be nice, instead of sitting on bed.

"The Truth Shall Make You Free": One Student's Appreciation of Quincy Wright

Quincy Wright's career reflected his typically American faith in the practical benefits of new knowledge, his multiple interests, and his zeal for making knowledge work to benefit humanity. These same characteristics had been reflected in the careers of his great-grandfather, Elizur Wright, and of his father, Phillip G. Wright, both professors of mathematics who made important contributions to other fields and to public policy. Quincy Wright's teaching, research, writing, civic, and professional activities were all informed by a humane, cosmopolitan, multidisciplinary, and problem-oriented perspective, in which he saw world society as his client. His spirit of reasoned optimism and sense of social responsibility were as contagious as his contribution to the study of international relations was profound.

Long time no post. Thanks to random weird spam that I had to delete I toodled back over here and was reading about my Thanksgiving adventures from 4 years ago. Now Gayatri is 6 (almost 7) and we're doing first grade, Lavanya is about to turn 5 and makes hilarious drawings, and Jatindra is 19 months and fiesty as his Tais. Nilesh is a citizen and I'm swimming, knitting and cooking like a pro.
Study Finds High-Fructose Corn Syrup Contains MercuryMONDAY, Jan. 26 (HealthDay News) -- Almost half of tested samples of commercial high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) contained mercury, which was also found in nearly a third of 55 popular brand-name food and beverage products where HFCS is the first- or second-highest labeled ingredient, according to two new U.S. studies.
We tend to watch an episode of Old School Sesame Street (thanks JB!) most mornings. And one thing I love, besides Gayatri knowing who Guy Smiley is (as opposed to Baby Bear) is just looking at the little kids in the segments and thinking, "Those little kids are older than me!"
We put the last leaf on our weather tree for the year. I'll take pictures today and get them posted (along with the pics of my mom's cabinet.)
Christmas was a bit more than I planned. But lovely nonetheless. Gayatri got mermaid, baby doll, etch-a-sketch, 101 piece art set and 7 wooden puzzles. Lavanya got 3 felt balls, a few baby toys, and a cool wooden toy. Both girls have been playing and sharing the awesome play silks from Grandma.
Nilesh, the Girls and I are all fighting a bit of a cold now, but nothing devastating.
Can you believe Lavanya is 13 months and Gayatri will be 3 on friday? crazy.
I didn't get a chance to finish cleaning the kitchen as much as I wanted to before Alex and Char showed up this afternoon/evening. What with trying to put away all the huge quantities of foodstuffs that Nilesh brought home, the bags Gayatri and I snagged at Target just minutes before they arrived, and last minute cleaning of the living room.... My kitchen was a disorganized clutter zone. But now... the girls and guests are all sleeping. I finished baking two pumpkin pies, the cornbread(for the stuffing) is baking in the oven. And I got my kitchen clean! I even got the living room all decluttered once again. I emptied the non-fruit items from the fruit bowl, washed and displayed snacking fruit in it, filled all the water bottles and swept the floor. Ahhhhh.... feels good.
Tomorrow is all about oven logistics. But... I'm a master at kitchen tetris, so no worries. Just good smells, yummy food and awesome people. Thanksgiving is the bestest holiday in the year.
Lavanya is one year old! Can you believe it? We had a private party with much delicious chocolate cake. Nilesh's parents called right as we were lighting the candles, so we put on the web camera, and they were able to sing and watch with us all the way from India. it was awesome. I think everyone else forgot it was her birthday. Last year she was born Thanksgiving weekend, so I think everyone just has this upcoming Saturday as her birthday in their heads instead of the actual date.
Sunday we went to another friend's party, and Gayatri had a blast, singing songs, being bossy (she's like a little mini-me). Now, she's all excited by the prospect of Uncle Alex coming tomorrow. Then, Thursday, even more people will arrive. It is just a whirlwind of crazy fun.
Hopefully Gayatri won't notice that I hid her rocking horse, tricycle and trolly cart in the storage shed. Heh. I don't want to negotiate who gets to play with what when the house gets bombarded with people. And I wanted to free up some floor space in the office for Alex and fam to sleep. Elsie and Elijah Moon are the same age. Both are cool kids, I hope they get along. Azel and Gayatri are the same age, but both are high strung (hence the hiding of large unsharable items) so I have no clue if they will get along. Lavanya will hide for a while, and then start wandering and exploring the plethora of people. We don't have enough table space or chairs, so we'll put the food up high, let the kids eat at the table and adults eat on the floor, as adults are capable of defending their plates from roaming baby.
I'm so excited. 6 adults, 5 kids. family, friends... and my organic, local, free-range turkey! yes! I'm way too excited about my turkey.
I was just checking my voice mail this morning and there were three messages wishing Nilesh and me "happy anniversary." The first was from a new friend here in Fishers. Second was from a new-ish friend in Columbus, OH. And the third was from my best friends in Illinois: Kyle and Bek.
Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.
- Sir Winston Churchill
Staying calm is difficult to do when you're sitting on the toilet and your toddler reaches up to the breakfast bar to grab your coffee and spills it all over herself and the baby.
But I managed.
Staying calm is even more difficult when you've cleaned up the baby and toddler and floor and the toddler starts ordering you to another room and kicking the baby and screaming for her movie to be put on.
I don't know how, but I managed.
I then got furiously angry at the pouch I was making because the string doesn't slide through properly. I ripped my pouch to shreds. woot!
Lavanya is walking!
Her little baby steps are way slower than speedcrawling, but she chooses now to take babysteps. Aww.... she just turned 10 months old yesterday and now she's walking. eep! Gayatri didn't walk until 14/15 months.
In other news. I must get back to poking holes in my bodice.

Reading is meaning
Human beings are meaning-making machines. We try to find meaning wherever we can. This is especially true when we start learning how to read. Once you learn how to read even a few words, you can't help but retrieve their meaning whenever you see them. In fact, try NOT to pay attention to the meaning of the words you're reading. It's impossible!
Comprehension is the process of making meaning of what you are reading, whether that be a single word, a short paragraph, or an epic story or poem. It encompasses fiction and nonfiction, prose and verse. When you are figuring out a new word you are seeing for the first time, pondering a character's motivation, comparing the ideas in an article to what you read in a different article, or appreciating the humor in a piece of satire, you are using comprehension skills.
Comprehension is why we read. Unfortunately, this often gets forgotten in our zeal to teach decoding and fluency. And sometimes, it just isn't valued.
It's all Greek to me… um, make that Hebrew
I attended Hebrew school from the time I was 8 years old until my Bat Mitzvah, on my 13th birthday. During those years, in 2 hour sessions on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, I learned how to read and write the Hebrew alphabet, and how to decode Hebrew words. I got very good at it. In fact, I once trounced my class in a speed reading contest of one of the longer and more difficult prayers that we were expected to know how to read and recite.
Unfortunately, no attempt was ever made to help me understand what I was reading.
Oh, I knew the general ideas – praising God for being great, and wonderful, and super-awesome, and for doing various cool things for Jews over the past 5,000 years or so. Jews are big into saying blessings before or after routine and special occasions, such as having meals and drinking wine. (Grape juice, if you're a kid. Hey, it beats Manischewitz.) Repeating these prayers and blessings so often, I started to notice specific words coming up again and again. Then phrases. Then vocabulary, like the word for "bread" or "wine". I wanted to know what the heck I was saying, so I tried to pay attention whenever I saw the Hebrew translated.
Eventually, I got good enough at reading Hebrew, and comprehending written English, that I was able to sit with the prayer book during Saturday morning services (which was 3 hours long – plenty of time to do a little linguistics) and match up the English on the lefthand side of each book-panel with the Hebrew on the right-hand side. Sometimes I was able to come up with word meanings. Often, I had to guess.
The end result was that I got really annoyed with my Hebrew school teachers and their attitude that it was more important to recite a prayer correctly than to know what the prayer actually said. It communicated to me that my understanding wasn't important, only going through the motions was. I ended up questioning a lot of what I was taught in Hebrew school (for various reasons) but this lack of concern for my ideas or understanding definitely played a big role.
When we ask kids to read for reading's sake, rather than for making meaning, we give them the message that their understanding doesn't matter.
And then we're surprised when they don't cooperate!
Basic comprehension skills
Long before a child sits down with a Hebrew-English prayer book to decipher Hebrew phrases using translation, many many understandings about reading have become automatic.
The very first thing a new reader learns is that print carries meaning, and that specific printed letters form words that have specific meaning. Emergent readers just being introduced to print often write random letters on their drawings, then tell an elaborate story that is supposedly represented by those letters – and if you ask them about what the letters mean a few days letter, you'll probably get an entirely different story. Meanwhile, they may turn the pages of their books and try to recite the stories from memory, or make up their own based on the pictures.
The first conceptual leap occurs when they realize that specific combinations of letters mean specific things as words. Many books for babies and toddlers have a single image with one printed word, or a few pictures that are labeled with the vocabulary. Ironically, these books might be more useful for beginning readers than they are for the infants and toddlers, who probably aren't even registering the print at all. My son, who just turned 2, only started noticing the print in his books recently – right now he just points to letters that he knows and says their names, or says "A-B-C-D, A-B-C-D, A-B-C-D" when he doesn't know the letter names.
Another early concept that children must learn is that books are continuous – the character on Page 1 is the same character that you see on Page 5, and again on Page 11. Then, cause and effect can become clear. What's done and said on Page 1 affects Page 2, 3, and 4. Sequencing the events in order helps a child to understand the development of the plot.
Many children's stories are built around a main idea or theme. If they're fictional, often there's a message of friendship, personal growth in the main character, or learning an important lesson. Non-fiction books are usually organized as a set of facts about a topic, as in "All About Dinosaurs" or "Things That Go". One of the main stumbling blocks that I've found for comprehension is when children can't identify the main focus of what they're reading.
If you ask one of my students with attentional or language issues what "All About Birds" is about, you might get an answer like, "Well, birds evolved from dinosaurs." Which is absolutely true according to current science, but represents only one small part of the overall book – maybe even only one sentence! They might then have trouble remembering other facts that they read in "All About Birds" because they misidentified the main idea.
More comprehension skills
Beyond the basics (who, what, when, where) children with more advanced comprehension begin to go deeper. Why did a character behave as he did? What was he thinking right before the big conflict happened? Why did the author decide to kill off that major character? (Looking at you, George RR Martin.) The child begins to infer, reading in between the lines, and make his or her own judgments and connections. Children also begin to understand figurative language, more complex vocabulary, and sarcasm and irony. Eventually, they realize that many of their texts contain obvious or not-so-obvious symbolism, archetypes, and story arcs that may remind them of other stories.
How are comprehension skills learned?
From reading. Lots of reading. And then talking about what you read with other people who read it.
Really. That's the main thing. Exposure to lots and lots of books. Especially good quality ones. (What's good quality? Depends on who you're asking. That's a whoooole other blog post.) I really can't think of a substitute for actually engaging with reading material, though in school students will do "comprehension exercises" and worksheets to try to take the place of actually having the time to read. Because what school student has time to actually sit and read? Especially books they've chosen themselves?
I'm not a huge fan of being assigned a reading log or book report – both, I feel, are more assessments of whether comprehension happened than teaching tools to help develop comprehension. They also, in my experience, suck the joy right out of reading. When I stayed up half the night finishing the fourth book in Harry Potter, the last thing I wanted to do was write a coherent report about it! What I did want to do was talk to other people who'd read it and compare what I thought to what they thought.
Sometimes, a reader may be inspired by a book to delve deeper into a specific area, like vocabulary – for example, JK Rowling is very fond of concocting spells with Latin roots, which might trigger a thought process in a reader that notices all the strange-sounding words and wants to understand them better. Is this added experience necessary in order to understand and enjoy Harry Potter? Definitely not. It's simply an opportunity that the reader can take, or not.
Many kids find that they like to watch the movies that go with a book, as well as reading it. I'm cool with that, but I try to talk them into reading the book first. They can then decide if the movie adaptation was faithful to the book and/or did a good job of representing the main ideas and themes that the book offered. Some movies do this better than others. I tend to hate most movies based on beloved books, so my disappointment in films is almost a given. But not everyone's a purist.
How do YOU understand what you read?
The best way to understand comprehension is to examine your own thought processes as you read. Do you visualize as you read? Do you make connections to other stories, characters, or events in your own life? Do you refer to a map or a dictionary of terms? Do you EVER write anything down about what you read? (Or use any of the other strategies you were ever asked to as a student?)
What about when you read for information? Do you take notes, bookmark pages, use sticky notes, underline key points? What helps you process and remember and use what you read?
No person's process is exactly like another's, and I've found that it's unproductive to try to force another reader to adopt my personal habits or thought processes as I read. On the other hand, I'm happy to share if I think the other person is receptive to hearing ideas or might find it useful.
As a child, I read a lot of material that was way over my head. I didn't know all the vocabulary, missed key ideas, or sped through books without really processing all the emotional content or factual information that I could have gotten. And that was all completely OK. There is no "right" way to read a book. I have so many books in my house today that I'm constantly looking for new ways to store them, and I usually have 5-6 books going at the same time. I love to go back and re-read old favorites, finding that I always find something new in them. I remember a lot of what I've read, but not everything. Most importantly, I love reading and I hope to pass that on to my family.

Hematopoietic stem cell (HCT) transplantation offers curative therapy for a variety of malignant and nonmalignant disorders. It is limited by donor availability, transplant related toxicity, graft versus host disease, relapse of malignancy, infections, and for some patients, reduction in post-transplant quality of life. The Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT CTN) was established in 2001 to develop and execute scientifically meritorious, prospective clinical trials to address these issues. The Network has launched >20 trials with the support of a Data and Coordinating Center (DCC) comprised of a Consortium of the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research, the National Marrow Donor Program and The EMMES Corporation. The members of this DCC Consortium propose to continue supporting the Network and managing the efficient development, implementation and completion of high-quality Phase l-lll clinical trials for the Network, including concept evaluation and prioritization, protocol development with appropriate statistical designs, timely activation and accrual, monitoring for safety, compliance and data accuracy, and analyzing and disseminating results. The DCC Consortium will coordinate and support all BMT CTN activities maintaining a state-of-the-art database and systems for acquisition and storage of biologic specimens, ensuring data quality, laboratory compliance and adherence to regulatory requirements, managing contractual arrangements and fiscal activities, monitoring and improving center and overall Network performance and supporting all Network committees and activities with meeting planning and other logistical support. The Consortium will also help amplify and leverage Network resources through collaboration with other scientific bodies including National Cancer Institute-funded Cancer Cooperative Groups and the Stem Cell Therapeutic Outcomes Database to maximize successful completion of high quality and high priority clinical trials in HCT.
The proposed Data and Coordinating Center (DCC) will support all activities of the BMT CTN, using the extensive expertise of the investigators in clinical research and transplantation. We will take advantage of collaborations with other organizations and initiatives to maximize efficiency and trial participation. The goal is to complete high quality clinical trials that focus on the most important barriers to transplant success.
