Hi everyone!
I've a question about ethanol precipitation of DNA.
Does anyone know how long can I leave the DNA precipitating at -80º?
Do you think a weekend is too much (well, it's too much, I normally performe this step in 20 minutes but...) ? I don't think that it will affect DNA integrity, but have no proof. If anyone has any idea it will help a lot!
Thanks in advance!

Indefinitely. It's a good way to store DNA for really long times. This is a common way of storing RNA to limit RNAse activity.

FDA is considering whether "there should be more flexibility in the concept of nonprescription drugs," explained Janet Woodcock, director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), during a two-day public hearing held in March by FDA to gain stakeholder input on the proposal. To approve an OTC therapy, FDA currently seeks evidence from manufacturers that the medicine can be used safely and appropriately based on the approved "drugs facts box" label and common knowledge. Now, FDA is exploring whether additional information from pharmacists and health IT systems could sufficiently augment consumer understanding of how to select and use a drug appropriately without going to a doctor.
The rationale for expanded OTC drug access is that the cost and inconvenience of visiting a doctor to obtain a prescription deters many people from treating common health conditions—and from adherence to recommended therapy after treatment begins. There's strong evidence from the literature over the past 20 years that prescription-to-OTC switches for vaginal antifungals, allergy treatments, and heartburn medicines, among others, have promoted effective self-care. Testing innovative nonprescription products has improved methods for conducting label-comprehension studies and actual-use trials as well.
Yet, Merck failed several times to gain OTC status for its anticholesterol drug Mevacor (lovastatin), largely because FDA was not convinced that consumers could determine whether a cholesterol drug was right for them just by reading the product label. FDA has tried to handle with such situations by establishing a third category of "behind-the-counter" drugs available from pharmacists, as with the Plan B morning-after pill. However, manufacturers generally object to creating a third class of drugs or simultaneous marketing of a prescription and nonprescription product for fear that such options will confuse consumers.
Under FDA's new paradigm, manufacturers would ensure "safe use" of a medicine by using new IT programs and more home-use diagnostics to enhance and document individual understanding of appropriate drug use. Information kiosks and other IT aides in pharmacies, for example, could direct consumers through self-diagnosis information programs that check for risk factors contraindicating treatment and monitor continued safe use.

Takara Lodge might do the trick. location is river side, out of town and if I remembver correctly less $$ than Becker's. Late Sept. weather can be a crap shoot so layers are called for and toque and gloves. If you don't need them great but if you do you will be very happy to have them.
Report Abuse
Tekkara Lodge, Alpine Village, Jasper House, Beckers and Pine Bungalows are all located on riverfront. The Fairmont Japser Park Lodge, Patricia Lake Bungalows and Pyramid Lake Resort are all on lake shores. www.jasper.travel should have listings and web links for all of those.
It is very unlikely that you will need a toque and gloves in September in the Rockies unless you plan on doing some high elevation hiking. I keep those in my hiking pack all through the summer and have used them in every month of the summer for hiking (but never in town). Mountain weather can change quickly, especially at higher elevations. Layered clothing is the way to go, since the range of temperatures through the day can be quite large. -

Takara Lodge Sept.17th, 2012...9AM elk on the road, ducks on the river and mitts on the hands. Even as I am a Northern Canadian the mitts and scarf felt very good. Had a hoodie so the toque was not needed. Not a wintery cold by any means but pretty chilly anyhow!! Be prepared for any kind of weather..even unusually warm days lead to cool/cold nights..

text: May 11 Fabienne Delacroix paints France as it may have been over 100 years ago, with vistas of everyday life and family gatherings. He especially captures the feeling of time and of a culture that was elegant, playful, and well dressed. His colors are vibrant and then monotone. The country life Mr. Delacroix depicts takes us back into a time of harvesting, swimming, and social mixing. Many of the painting are quite small, but charming, mirthful, with a sense of France as a reverie of the mind. This exhibit may also be seen at the Axelle Galerie in Soho, NYC.

Wild Mood Swings
May 23rd
Posted by mags in Inspiration
I love the idea of escapism. When we were young and feeling isolated, it was so easy for us to escape into our own imaginary worlds to become different, to use disguises and to imagine what could be instead of what is. Kareena Zerefos is a fellow College of Fine Arts graduate who created this amazingly whimsical series of work. 'Mood Swings' take you back to the beauty of your childhood angst – her work is just gorgeous! You can purchase work from here from her online store.
Sketch your Own Softie
May 15th
There were many great things at the Finders Keepers Markets last week, and perhaps eventually I might blog about the ones that stood out to me. But one things that slightly disappointed me were how similar most of the creations were to eachother.
One area where imaginations can and should run riot is with the creation of softies which is why I love this tutorial from Handmade Romance, based in Melbourne. Her blog documents the process of creating softies from original hand sketches, including creating the patterns, embroidering the features and sewing it all together. I also saw this tutorial on Craftershock for the first time, and glad I did. I hope it inspires you to create something unique! The full documented process is available here.
PART 1: Sketch out characters – the more unique the better! Pick the best and draw these characters to finished size. Trace over each pattern piece using tracing paper.
PART 2: Choose fabric for each pattern piece. Pin tracing paper pattern on to the material chosen. If you have not allowed extra room for seams at the pattern drawing stage, then remember to do so here where necessary! Then snip snip snip!
PART 3: If your softie needs any hand embroidery, then do it now. Place tracing paper of the features on top of the fabric and embroider through both. Tear away the tracing paper. Stitch on other extra details such as patches, mustache, hair, etc.
PART 4: All piece should now be ready for the sewing machine. Lay out all the pieces and figure out the best sequence to stitch everything together, depending on your design. Generally try to start with the smaller pieces or limbs (remember to sew pieces together inside-out!), sew these into the body piece inside-out, stuffing as you go as necessary. Leave a hole in the main body area, stuff and then hand-sew the hole. Hey presto!
KupKup Land
May 9th
So the first inspiration that I'd like to share on my first post here at The Craft Army is what you can do with… felt.
KupKup Land is where the magical world of felt comes to life and all this was born from the creative mind of this crafty lady named Kima from Barcelona.
Combining felts with different kinds of fabrics and paper, Kima has also created a bunch of other adorable stuff like these petit pâtisserie…
…or these buttons…
Have a look through Kima's awesome craft at her flickr or if you fancy to buy some of her pretty works head off to her etsy shop.
Kawaii Softie Owls from Moonstitches
May 8th
The Japanese make such kookie and interesting characters – and this ofcourse applies to their crafting. Moonstitches found a pattern for these 'Kawaii' owls from a Japanese Craft book. I'd buy it too if I could read it!
At any rate, Moonstitches has lovingly taken the pattern and re-created these charming owl softies with their own linen and felt twist. This is how you make them…
STEP 1: Cut out Fabric
Cut pattern pieces (as per the image) including cardboard for the base of the owl, add seam allowances when cutting the fabric. Height of pattern pieces for this tutorial: 7cm and 10 cm
STEP 2: Sew the Belly to Back
Place belly piece on the body piece (side "a" of belly on edge "a" of body). Start at bottom and sew together, stopping before the tip of the belly part, leaving 0.5cm seam allowance for side "b". Repeat with seam "b".
STEP 3: Close Middle Seam
Sew middle seam, starting where seam "a" and "b" meet.
STEP 4: Trimming
Trim the seams where curved. Clip tip close to stitching. Turn inside out.
STEP 5: Prep for Sewing Up
Hand stitch along the bottom edge of the owl's body in order to prepare for sewing it up later.
If you're combining a rather thick fabric like wool with a thinner one like cotton or linen make sure to turn the seam allowances in direction of the thinner fabric.
STEP 6: The Beak
Begin sewing the beak from inside the owl's body, secure the thread with a knot. Fold the tip down a bit, insert the needle and stitch what will become the owl's face into place. Secure thread inside of the body.
STEP 7: Stuffing
Fill your owl to desired firmness, use small amounts of filling at a time. Sew up the body.
STEP 8: The Bases
Place the round cardboard base on top of the round fabric from step 1. Press fabric seam allowance around the edges of the cardboard to the center of the circle. Attach the base to body and secure the end of the thread under the bottom.
STEP 9: The Eyes
Sewing on a pair of buttons will make your owl see.
STEP 10: Finished!
You're all done! Now all you need to do is make your new Kawaii Owl some friends.
Thanks to Moonstitches for the tutorial!

Each year since its debut in 1948, the NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship has served to determine the best college squad in the country. Fans of the sport travel from all over to witness the riveting culmination of a season's worth of hard work and determination as the single-elimination thrills of the tournament all boil down to these final games. Be there to watch intercollegiate dreams realized before your eyes with a purchase of NCAA Frozen Four tickets. Juggernaut hockey universities like Michigan, Denver, North Dakota, and Wisconsin have claimed the most championships in the past, but any team can emerge victorious when the puck hits the ice this year.
Featured Events
This captivating tournament ends the NCAA hockey season with a glorious crescendo, and you can be a part of the action with a purchase of 2013 Frozen Four tickets from Vivid Seats. Since the puck first dropped in the inaugural NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament back in 1948, the action and intensity that occurs on the ice has rivaled any tournament in any sport, and while traditionally great schools have had the most success throughout tournament history, any year can see a great Cinderella story go on to enrapture the country. The final four teams left in the tournament always put on a great show, and you can witness every phenomenal goal, spectacular save, and breathtaking pass live by following these simple steps:
Since 1999, the NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship has been cleverly deemed the "Frozen Four," and the 2013 bracket is loaded with a splendid mix of "Cinderella" teams playing hot enough to melt the ice in The Steel City. The Frozen Four 2013 is scheduled to take place at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pa., on April 11 and 13, and the remaining teams will all be vying for the first taste of national championship glory. On April 11, the UMass-Lowell River Hawks will take on the Yale Bulldogs, followed by an evening showdown that will pit the Quinnipiac Bobcats against the St. Cloud State Huskies. The national championship game on April 13 is guaranteed to be an historic affair, as of the four remaining schools, Yale is the lone institution to have advanced this far in the tournament, having fallen in the 1952 semifinals to Colorado College.
Impressively, the New England region of the U.S. has featured a representative in the final four in 56 of the tournament's 64 years in action, but 2013 is just the second instance in which three squads from the region will play in the final weekend since Maine, Boston College, and New Hampshire joined Michigan State in 1999. Perhaps most surprising is that this will be the first time in the history of the NCAA Tournament that Boston College, Boston University, Denver, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Dakota, and Wisconsin won't be one of the four remaining teams. Cumulatively, these traditional hockey powerhouses possess 46 national championships. It's looking to be a great time in Pittsburgh, so purchase Frozen Four tickets and see which team makes history.
Guaranteed, period!

Hanoians brave cold and rain to Ride for the Bears
More than 100 people took to the roads on a cold and rainy Saturday (26 January 3013) in Hanoi to raise awareness of the need to protect endangered moon bears and other wildlife.
The Ride for the Bears was organised by Action Bear, a group of students from universities around Hanoi. A total of 40 cyclists of all ages pedalled from the capital to Animals Asias Bear Rescue Centre at Tam Dao National Park and back again a total of 124km. Although all were amateur riders, everyone finished.
The cyclists were joined by 30 supporters on motorbikes and in cars, 20 logistics volunteers including Animals Asia staff, Action Bear volunteers, a doctor and 14 journalists including TV crews.
The convoy set off from Hanois Nghia Do Park, Nguyen Van Huyen, Cau Giay District at 6am and arrived at the sanctuary at 11.45am, weary but happy to have spread the word about the need to protect Vietnams bears. They were also thrilled to meet the bears rescued from bile farms and now living in freedom at the rescue centre. The event received wide coverage in the Vietnamese media.
The students formed Action Bear in 2012 to raise awareness about environmental issues and to support Animals Asia, which runs the only sanctuary in Vietnam solely dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating bears. Action Bear previously rallied almost 1,000 people to sign a petition against Animals Asias forced eviction from the Tam Dao site. The eviction notice was overturned by Vietnams Prime Minister earlier in January.

In this sequel, Kristen Simmons affirmed her knack for painting a believable dystopian world: destroyed, desolate, and bleak. The first book of this series left me in awe; this one however, left me floundering. I have tried to figure out what it was that didn't work this time and given the opportunity, I would have re-read the first book just to compare notes. Admittedly, Ember Miller and her romance with Chase Jennings left a bitter taste in my mouth. Sad as it was, the docile relationship between characters eclipsed the broken beauty that was, Breaking Point.
Ruled by a restrictive military government, the reader will be given privy to what it would be like living under an iron fist. However, it didn't make much sense how the governing body would achieve to recreate a perfect world by creating more constricting laws. I guess you can say that this aspect of the book was the pivotal point where I couldn't readily accept things for what they were.
Breaking Point didn't really have er, a point. They went from one mission to another without a concise goal to reach. The characters were thrown into one obstacle after another in a way that fitted the author's will. To be frank, this series may be one of those that shouldn't have been. A stand alone, if you will. While I was anxious to read this sequel, I quickly found out that my excitement was all for naught. In conclusion, I don't think I will be continuing on with this series. There really isn't anything else to look forward to after this. For me, Ember and Chase beating FBR at their own game already happened in Article 5, therefore, this sequel was pointless.
My Rating: 2 out of 5 Stars

ACOMMON expression of the disease process in an organ is the spilling of large amounts of normally intracellular enzymes into the circulation. For example, increased serum activity of creatine kinase (CPK) and aldolase, two soluble cytoplasmic enzymes of muscle and brain, has diagnostic and prognostic significance in skeletal or cardiac muscle disease, particularly myopathies and myocardial infarction, or both.1,2 Recent reports indicate that increases of the activity of these enzymes can also occur in the serum of some patients with such neurologic and psychiatric disorders as brain trauma, cerebral vascular disease, encephalitis, meningitis, and acute psychosis.3-10
Three of the latter studies particularly relevant to the investigations reported here. Schiavone and Kaldor found elevated serum CPK activity in 60% of 109 patients with cerebral dysfunction, including nine of 24 cases of schizophrenia.4 Bengzon et al, after finding an elevation of serum alkaline

WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. government ordered a wide review of Boeing's latest passenger jet, the 787 Dreamliner, citing concern over a fire and other recent problems, but insisting the plane was safe to fly.
It was unclear how long the review will take or how much it will ultimately cost Boeing, but the company was concerned enough that it sent a top executive at the last minute to a Washington press conference on the problem. Boeing shares fell 2.5 percent.
The 787 represented a leap in the way planes are designed and built, but the project was plagued by cost overruns and years of delays. Some have suggested Boeing's rush to get planes built after those delays resulted in the recent problems, a charge the company strenuously denies.
Either way, regulators said a thorough examination was needed to identify the root cause of the problems, including a fire on a parked 787 on Monday.
"There are concerns about recent events involving the Boeing 787. That is why today we are conducting a comprehensive review," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood told a news conference followed by more than 100 reporters around the world.
Those concerns notwithstanding, though, LaHood also maintained the plane was still airworthy.
"I believe this plane is safe and I would have absolutely no reservations about boarding one of these planes and taking a flight," he said.
The review will focus on the 787's advanced electrical systems and cover their design, manufacture and assembly, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The move comes on top of a separate probe by U.S. safety investigators into a battery fire which caused "serious damage" to an empty Japan Airlines 787 jet at Boston airport on Monday. Early findings of that probe are due next week.
Boeing shares fell 2.5 percent to $75.16 in midday trading. Since December 4, when the first of the recent incidents took place, the stock is up 1.5 percent, underperforming a 4.3 percent gain in the S&P 500.
Much like the company's customers, who have generally stood behind it, analysts give the company good marks for its early response to the crisis.
"Boeing is doing a good job getting in front (as much as a company can) of the FAA situation. My view is that if the FAA deems this as a non-design issue, Boeing will be fine. If this is a design issue, it will be more troublesome because we need to pause the production to fix the design and then proceed," said Morningstar analyst Neal Dihora.
The 787, the world's first mainly carbon-composite airliner, is Boeing's boldest effort to revolutionize commercial aviation by using new technology to cut fuel costs by 20 percent. Each lightweight jet has a list price of $207 million.
Airlines are pleased with the savings, and have so far given the plane their approval, both by ordering more than 800 jets and mostly sticking by it through the current spate of troubles.
After roughly 10 incidents on 787s in six weeks, one jet suffered a cracked cockpit window on Friday, while another had an oil leak.
The review is also a significant test for the recently-appointed chief executive of Boeing's commercial airplanes division, Ray Conner, who attended Friday's news conference.
Conner, who was previously Boeing's commercial sales chief, said the company was committed to making the plane as reliable as possible and that its backup systems had been working well.
"We have complete confidence in the 787 and so do our customers," Conner said.
"The redundancies that we have put into this machine are phenomenal and the airplane performed perfectly in that respect. Now, we'd like to make sure that none of these happen again and that's what we're going to try to do."
A growing media storm about the 787 glitches echoes global publicity a year ago over wing cracks on the A380 superjumbo, built by Boeing's European rival Airbus.
The A380 has also been deemed safe to fly and few airlines have reported a dip in bookings, but the problems are expected to end up costing Airbus up to 500 million euros in repairs.
In both cases, everyday glitches have been swept up in the wider storm of publicity and attracted unusual attention, along with more serious problems.
"I can't think of any similar investigations, but apart from the battery fire, all the other things we have seen are 'so what?'" Paul Hayes, safety director at aviation consultancy Ascend, said of the FAA Boeing review.
The 787 Dreamliner made its first commercial flight in late 2011 after a series of production delays put deliveries more than three years behind schedule. By the end of last year, Boeing had sold 848 Dreamliners. It now has 50 in service.
The 787 makes extensive use of electrical components to perform tasks previously carried out by heavier equipment such as hydraulics.

More than 13 million atheists and agnostics and nearly 33 million claim no particular affiliation. About 20 percent of U.S. adults say they had no religious affiliation, an increase from two decades ago when about 8 percent of people were deemed so-called "nones," according to a new study released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion and Public Life. The group will be the subject of an upcoming PBS miniseries this month.
"But despite their nickname, the "nones" are far from godless. Many pray, believe in God and have regular spiritual routines," The Washington Post's religion reporter Michelle Boorstein wrote Tuesday.

Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck
Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck (Dzongkha: འཇིགས་མེད་གེ་སར་རྣམ་རྒྱལ་དབང་ཕྱུག་,[1] born 21 February 1980) is the son of Jigme Singye Wangchuck and the 5th and current reigning Dragon King (Druk Gyalpo) of the Kingdom of Bhutan.[2] He became King on 14 December 2006. A public coronation ceremony was held on 6 November 2008, an auspicious year that marked 100 years of Monarchy in Bhutan.
Contents |
Early life [edit]
Khesar (pronounced Gesar) is the eldest son of the fourth Dragon King of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, and his third wife, Queen (Ashi) Tshering Yangdon. He has a younger sister, Princess Dechen Yangzom, and brother, Prince Jigme Dorji, as well as four half-sisters and three half-brothers.[3] After completing his higher secondary studies at Yangchenphug High School, Bhutan, Khesar studied abroad at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, Cushing Academy and Wheaton College in Massachusetts, United States, before graduating from Magdalen College, University of Oxford, where he completed the Foreign Service Programme and International Relations.[4]
Crown Prince [edit]
The Crown Prince, popularly known to the people of Bhutan 'Dasho Khesar', accompanied his father in his many tours throughout the Kingdom to meet and speak to the people. He also officially represented Bhutan on several international events. On May 8, 2002, he represented Bhutan at the 7th UN General Assembly and made his first speech to the United Nations where he addressed issues related to the welfare of millions of children around the globe to world leaders.[5] He attended Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej's 60th Anniversary Celebrations on 12–13 June 2006 in Bangkok along with royals from 25 countries.[5] The youngest of the visiting royals, the 26-year-old prince caused a sensation, giving rise to a legion of female fans in Thailand. The Thai press dubbed him "Prince Charming," publishing his photograph and running stories about him as well Bhutan for several weeks after he had left Thailand.
Trongsa Penlop [edit]
On October 31, 2004, Khesar was installed as the Trongsa Penlop [5] in Trongsa Dzong". The institution of the Trongsa Penlop, started by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal in 1647, signifies the true heritage to the Bhutanese Throne and the investiture ceremony of the Trongsa Penlop is the formal declaration of this status of the Crown Prince.[6]
Accession to the throne [edit]
In December 2005, King Jigme Singye Wangchuck announced his intention to abdicate in his son's favour in 2008, and that he would begin handing over responsibility to him immediately.[7] On 14 December 2006, the King abdicated and transferred the throne to Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck[8] who was officially crowned on 6 November 2008,[9][10] in Punakha. Religious ceremonies and public celebrations were also held at Tashichhodzong and Changlimithang in Thimphu. The coronation ceremony comprised an ancient and colourful ritual, attended by thousands of foreign dignitaries, including the President of India, Pratibha Patil.[11][12]
CNN reported that, in order to welcome Khesar as King of Bhutan, people painted the street signs, hung festive banners and decorated traffic circles with fresh flowers.[13]
Engagement and Royal Wedding [edit]
As he opened the session of parliament on Friday, 20 May 2011, the King announced his engagement to Jetsun Pema, born in Thimphu on 4 June 1990. They were married on 13 October 2011 in Punakha Dzong. The royal wedding was Bhutan's largest media event in history. The royal wedding ceremony was held in Punakha followed by formal visits to different parts of the country. During the ceremony the King also received the Crown of the Druk Gyal-tsuen (Queen) from the most sacred Machhen temple of the Dzong and bestowed it on Jetsun Pema, thereby formally proclaiming her the Queen of the Kingdom of Bhutan. The wedding was held in traditional style with the "blessings of the guardian deities".[14][15][16]
Accomplishments as King [edit]
The young king began his reign overseeing the democratization of his country by presiding over the last sessions of the parliament where electoral laws, land reform and other important issues were deliberated.[17] He stated that the responsibility of this generation of Bhutanese was to ensure the success of democracy. He also travelled extensively around the country to encourage participation in the upcoming democratic exercises, speaking mainly to the youth of Bhutan on the need for Bhutanese to strive for greater standards in education, business, civil service and the need for people of a small country to work harder than those of others.[18][19]
He signed a new treaty of friendship with India in February 2007, replacing the treaty of 1949.[20] Many government initiatives were undertaken by the new King with a view to strengthening the system in preparation for the democratic changes in 2008. The Constitution of the Kingdom of Bhutan was adopted on 18 July 2008, by the first elected parliament. On 1 November 2008, he was formally crowned in Punakha as the Fifth King of the Wangchuck Dynasty.
Since the formal coronation, King Jigme Khesar's first landmark project was the launching of the National Cadastral Resurvey in March 2009. The programme is aimed at resolving long-standing land issues of excess land that affects every Bhutanese household.[21] The King has also been giving land to landless farmers around the country. The on-going project takes the King to remote villages and communities.[22] He personally supervised the rebuilding efforts following major earthquakes and floods in 2009. [23][24] He was invited as the Chief Guest for the 64th Indian Republic Day Celebrations in New Delhi on 26 January 2013.
Public Perception and Popularity Abroad [edit]
Following his 2006 visit to Thailand as Crown Prince, the King has been immensely popular in Thailand. The number of Thai tourists visiting Bhutan has increased steadily since the visit.[25] In November 2011, the King with Queen Jetsun made a state visit to Japan; they were the first state guests to Japan since the 2011 earthquake. The Royal Visit had a similar effect, with reports that the Japanese were infatuated with the King and country.[26] The young monarch has been frequently described by international media as 'charming' and 'handsome'.[27] He is known for his personal touch with his people, and often referred to as the 'People's King'.[28]

I picked up a link to this thing off of Vasilli's Retire your Dock.
In the past, I've steered clear of these types of things. From a distance, their goal seemed to be somehow bolting something like the Microsoft Startup menu back into OSX. With the extra wide monitor, the dock on the side, and in particular corner activated eXpose', I didn't think I'd appreciate something like this. But I thought I'd take the plunge and try this QuickSilver launcher/finder/whatever.
First reactions are positive. I'm not sure I'm really leveraging all of what it can do yet. And it is a different path to getting at applications/data, so we'll see if I can retrain myself to use it and do so regularly. Thanks for the post, and even more so to "water" for the comment.

Osterweil: "Game designers need to be in an ongoing dialogue with a broader public"
From Boston.com, The Education Arcade's Scot Osterweil on games, Dewey, and how we learn at conferences:
With Dewey's ideas as the bedrock of our own practice as learning game designers, we may forget how little those ideas have penetrated beyond our circle of colleagues. But at Sandbox Summit, I had a chance encounter with the head of a trade group that represents toy makers. He had never heard of Dewey, or the notion that we learn best by doing, and was fascinated and affected by Gardner's talk.That trade group leader was gaining new insight into the audience his industry serves, reminding me again that game designers need to be in an ongoing dialogue with a broader public. It was the kind of teachable moment that is peculiar to conferences designed to open up conversation between industry and academia. I'd argue that only in a setting like that would we have made the human connection that made that learning possible.
The joy of conferences and video games that teach -- Boston.com

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Truven Health Analytics™, formerly the Healthcare business of Thomson Reuters, today released research which projects that health plans will incur a 4.8 percent growth in allowed medical and pharmacy costs in 2013.
The new report, U.S. Health Plan Benchmarks, Trends, and Best Practices for Healthcare Risk Management, uses real-world insurance claims data for more than 139 clients representing 10 million covered members to track healthcare costs between 2007 and 2011, and project costs for 2012 and 2013.
Following are some of the paper's key findings:
"As key provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) begin to take hold, it is paramount for health plans across the country to efficiently manage their costs," said Jody Amodeo, vice president at Truven Health Analytics. "By utilizing data-driven strategies to identify specific cost drivers and manage population health, plans can maximize their cost-saving opportunities and minimize their exposure to existing volatility."
All benchmark data and projections were derived from the Truven Health MarketScan® databases, a repository of healthcare claims for inpatient and outpatient services. The MarketScan database is the leading resource for studying real-world treatment patterns and costs for the privately-insured, containing longitudinal data for more than 60 million covered lives.

Cathey McClain Finlon Named President of Denver Art Museum
Cathey McClain Finlon has been appointed museum president.
In his first major administrative move, incoming museum director Christoph Heinrich announced today the appointment of Cathey McClain Finlon as museum president, effective January 1, 2010. Reporting to Heinrich, Finlon will oversee the Museums business operations including finance, development, marketing and human resources, while Heinrich will maintain direct oversight of the curatorial and programmatic functions. Finlon was named Interim President by board Chairman Frederic C. Hamilton in April 2009 with the charge of developing a strategic leadership transition process.
We are fortunate to have in Cathey an experienced leader with a mind for business and a passion for art, said Heinrich. Her expertise and knowledge of the community will be an incredible asset in managing the expanded museum complex.
Finlon, most widely known in Colorado as a business and non-profit leader, has a substantial history with the
Denver Art Museum
. As a member of the museums Board of Trustees from 1994 through 2009, Finlon worked closely with the board and museum leadership to establish the vision for and realize the new Frederic C. Hamilton Building. Finlon also acted as the museums first development director prior to her career with McClain Finlon Advertising.
Cathey did a superb job guiding the Museum through the process of finding a new director, and Im thrilled that she has agreed to move into a permanent position, said Frederic Hamilton, the museums board chairman. As a board member, Cathey was a source of great insight and energy and I look forward to working with her in this new role.
The addition of Finlon heightens the museums ongoing commitment to prudent fiscal management and efficient operation, but also enables Heinrich to commit time and energy to program development including collections and exhibitions.
With the explosive growth in the collection and physical complex in the last ten years, I believe adding the role of president enables the institution to move forward in the most positive way, with simultaneous emphasis on the growing operation and program, said Heinrich.
I am passionate about working on big things and the Denver Art Museum is doing big things for arts and culture, said Finlon. The chance to help build on Lewis Sharps legacy and be a part of the future with Christoph Heinrich is an opportunity I couldnt pass up.
As owner and CEO of McClain Finlon Advertising, Finlon ran one of the top 50 agencies in the country and one of the few woman-owned advertising agencies in the United States. She built the business from a small, 5-person shop into a team of more than 200. In its 26 years as a leading agency, McClain Finlon won numerous industry awards and served prestigious clients, including Dell, Sun Microsystems, Qwest Communications and top Colorado resorts. In addition to building her own successful company, she spent ten years in development with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences and the Denver Art Museum.
Finlons commitment to community is as evident in her personal as her professional life. She serves on many leadership boards in Denver, including the Denver Public Schools Foundation and The Childrens Hospital, where she is the incoming chairperson. She also has served in the past as chair of the Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, the Alliance for Contemporary Art and Junior Achievement, and on the board of the Colorado Outward Bound School and the National Repertory Orchestra.
In 2009, Finlon was inducted into the Colorado Business Hall of Fame and also received the prestigious Leader Award from the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts.
