This blog provides stories that Denyse O'Leary, a Toronto-based journalist, has found to be of interest, as she covers the growing intelligent design controversy. It supports her book By Design or by Chance? (Augsburg 2004). Does the universe - and do life forms - show evidence of intelligent design? If so, Carl Sagan was wrong and so is Richard Dawkins. Now what?
Labels: Privileged Planet film, Smithsonian and Privileged Planet film
(The main update is from screenwriter Jonathan Witt, on whether the film impacts Darwinian evolution. If you have been here before, scroll down to "screenwriter Witt".)
1. He seems to think that the ID-friendly film Privileged Planet opposes evolution. It doesn't, actually; it opposes Darwinism and naturalism—the idea that evolution could happen without any guidance at all. Most Americans do not in fact believe in Darwinism or naturalism, so it shouldn't really be any surprise that some people produce films that do a pretty good job of making the opposite case from the science evidence.
[Jonathan Witt, who was one of the writers on the screenplay for Privileged Planet has now contacted me to explain what the film is about (always a risky business for a screenwriter). He insists:The film doesn't touch on Darwinian evolution. It looks at the many factors that contribute to a habitable planet and to our ability to discover things about the world, from our position in the galaxy to the fine-tuning of the physical constants.
Some of the scholars interviewed make a case against materialism and for the design of things like the fine-tuning of the physical constants, but the film also gives the opposite view an airing, namely that it was just luck. But neither the film nor any of the scholars interviewed take a position on, or even mention, the issue of how life might have arisen or diversified once those conditions were in place.
From Denyse: Thanks to screenwriter Witt for the clarification! I hadn't actually noticed anything in the film about the origin of life or Darwinian evolution, but—let's face it—if Carl Sagan (whose views are addressed in the film) was wrong, so is Richard Dawkins. It simply cannot be the case that the universe shows abundant evidence of intelligent design but life forms do not.
So the reason that many people may assail Smithsonian publicist Randall Kremer this week about the Smithsonian co-hosting the film is simply this: Screening a film at the Smithsonian that contradicts Carl Sagan's creed that the "The Cosmos
is all that is or ever was or ever will be." suggests that American science is not, after all, the Church of Carl Sagan and Richard Dawkins. That will be news to some people, who have always assumed that it was. Well, we will soon see whether it is or is not. Certainly, Sagan's phrase echoes—and mocks—the traditional Gloria , for whatever that is worth. The key question is, can an American science institution tolerate a film that suggests that there is evidence for intelligent design of the universe or is evidence of intelligent design impossible in principle because American science is indeed the Church of Carl Sagan?]
(Note: In case anyone is wondering, the film does not maintain that the Earth was created in 144 hours or that it is only six thousand years old. The Times article says the film "makes the case for the hand of a creator in the design of Earth and the universe," but that won't stop some people from getting it wrong and posting widely.)
2. He identifies me as an "ID proponent". As I said in By Design or by Chance?, I am a post-Darwinist. I think Darwin was wrong on key points but that does not make ID right.
The president of the Discovery Institute, Bruce Chapman, said his organization approached the museum through its public relations company and the museum staff asked to see the film. "They said that they liked it very much—and not only would they have the event at the museum, but they said they would co-sponsor it," he recalled. "That was their suggestion. Of course we're delighted."
Mr. Kremer said he heard about the event only on Thursday. He added that staff members viewed the film before approving the event to make sure that it complied with the museum's policy, which states that "events of a religious or partisan political nature" are not permitted, along with personal events such as weddings, or fund-raisers, raffles and cash bars. It also states that "all events at the National Museum of Natural History are co-sponsored by the museum."

Treatment for CIN III
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I had a biopsy and it came back with carcinoma in situ (CIN III) and adenocarcinoma in situ. I have seen two doctors. One (a regular gynecologist) tells me that I should just wait and have pap smears every three months and see what happens. The other (a gynecological oncologist) says that I should have a hysterectomy right away. I am 40 years old and plan on having no more children. Should I get a third opinion or go with what the oncologist recommends?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
If colposcopically directed biopsies that show CIN III and adenocarcinoma in situ have been performed, we generally recommend patients speak with their physician about a cervical cone biopsy to make sure there is no invasive cancer present. If the cone biopsy shows no invasive cancer, the edges of the biopsy are not involved with abnormal cells (in other words, if the cone biopsy excised the entire problem area), and the endocervical curettage does not show any abnormalities, some experts would recommend no further treatment except frequent Pap tests. On the other hand, if a woman is sure that she does not want to have more children, it is also reasonable to undergo a hysterectomy as treatment.

The new 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport represents pure motorsport. The recipe is well known and proven: lightweight, well-balanced performance. Whether driving it at a track day or in wheel-to-wheel competition, it is in its element. But be careful: the more you drive it, the less you want to stop. The new 718 GT4 Clubsport is more than a commitment to the racetrack, it is a declaration of addiction to motorsport.
Powering the 718 GT4 Clubsport is a 3.8-litre flat-six engine which produces 425 hp (313 kW). Compared to its predecessor, this represents a 40 hp increase in performance.
"The new Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport possesses significantly more racing genes than its successful predecessor," says Porsche, Head of Motorsport Fritz Enzinger. "The power of the engine has increased considerably."
The 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport is the first ever production race car to feature body parts made of natural-fibre composite material. The driver and passenger doors and the rear wing are made of an organic fibre mix, sourced primarily from agricultural by-products such as flax or hemp fibres and feature similar properties to carbon fibre in terms of weight and stiffness.

* Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since September 01, 2018 all new cars are approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. You can find more information on WLTP at www.porsche.com/wltp. From 01 January 2019, all fuel consumption figures are shown as determined in accordance with WLTP. CO₂ figures will be shown as NEDC-equivalent values, as CO₂ based taxation will continue to be based on an NEDC value (derived from WLTP) until 06 April 2020. Fuel economy and CO₂ emission figures are only intended as a means of comparing different types of vehicles tested under the same test cycle. New WLTP homologated vehicles are therefore not directly comparable with any vehicles tested under NEDC.
Values are provided for comparison only. To the extent that fuel consumption or CO₂ values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. Extra features and accessories (attachments, tyre formats etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics which may result in a change in fuel consumption and CO₂ values. Additionally, weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual driving styles, can all affect the actual fuel consumption, electricity consumption, and CO₂ emissions of a car.

NARN got wind of a neat new project that you might be interested in:
Letters to a New Vegan
Call for Submissions
Deadline: November 15, 2013
Send submissions to email@example.com
At the turn of the nineteenth century, a 19-year-old military student wrote a letter to a famous author seeking advice on how to live. "Nobody can advise you, nobody," Rainer Maria Rilke replied. "There is only one way. Go into yourself." Having said that, however, Rilke would go on to offer ample advice to the young man, writing him no fewer than ten letters in which he shared his thoughts on thriving in a complex, insensitive world. These letters would become the small but widely-treasured volume Letters to a Young Poet (1929).
Rilke's bipartite response to his young poet exemplifies the human paradox: We need to go deeply into ourselves and we need each other. Those of us living on the edge of a ground-breaking social movement especially need each other. We need each other's encouragement and insights; we need to hear how others have made their way—detours, stumbles, and all. Combining the stories of others with our own experience and inner wisdom, we cultivate the sustenance for lives that matter to ourselves and to the wider world.
With that, you are invited to submit your own story to an edited collection called Letters to a New Vegan. The intention of this volume is just as its allusory title suggests: We are looking to create a community of words that can encircle new vegans everywhere, from all walks of life, as they embark on their own journeys. Letters should be no longer than 1000 words (short letters are as welcome as long ones), begin with the salutation "Dear New Vegan," and end with your name (first or full, your choice) and place of residence. Between the salutation and closing we ask that you write in your own voice, with authenticity, honesty, and compassion.
A possible place to begin as you contemplate your letter: What would you have wanted to hear when you were a new vegan? What would have helped?
Submission guidelines:
Please email your letter (Word documents preferred) along with a short author bio to firstname.lastname@example.com by November 15, 2013. Questions can be directed to this address as well.
A final, important note: We're eager for letters from people of all ages, backgrounds, and perspectives. The vegan story is nothing if not multi-vocal.

Framework: VF006 – vf006_0104_v03
1 - Primary or Horizontal Divisions
4 - Secondary or Vertical Divisions
Part of series: VF006 Vertical Flow 006 – Funnel Flow
Series Keywords: funnel, flow, vertical flow, downward flow
The little funnel graphics between the round-edge rectangles suggest that one topic flows into the next. The downloads are set up so they are on the left-hand side of the slide, making it easy to add associated text for each bar.
This graphic is versatile: it can be used as a replacement for a funnel, a bullet alternative, and a vertical flow. You can also replace the rounded-edge rectangles with whatever you like and use the funnel graphics to suggest a downward flow.Unlike a traditional flow, there is no narrowing at the bottom. Each section is the same size, which implies that they are equal. These are just objects that flow into each other rather than a process of something flowing into and out of a funnel.
Select the version you want by understanding how they are drawn and their possible uses:
- v01: all of the rectangles and funnels are separate fields
- v02: except for the top rectangle, the funnels are attached to the rectangle below. You can apply one wipe to reveal the funnel and the following rectangle. This works particularly well if you use colors and gradients. Look at the tutorial for this technique.
- v03: all of the rectangles and smaller funnels are separate fields
- v04: all of the rectangles and smaller funnels are one field, making it possible to animate from top to bottom in one click. Slowly wiping v04 from top to bottom implies a fluid and seamless flow.

Content related to Meditation & Business
For the past year, Meditatio, the outreach of the The World Community for Christian Meditation (WCCM) has been collaborating with the Georgetown McDonough School of Business in introducing meditation to MBA students.On Tuesday 9th April, this collaboration reached a new level with the seminar Leading from the Center. The Seminar focused on how the practice of meditation enhances the professional effectiveness of leaders and also how it helps develop an ethical culture in finance and business.
Above: Dean of the Business School, David Thomas, formerly of the Harvard Business School, welcomed the three speakers and affirmed the School's commitment to teaching meditation in its academic curriculum.
"Meditation more than anything in my life was the biggest ingredient of whatever success I've had", Ray Dalio, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Bridgewater Associates, in conversation at the John Main Centre for Meditation and Inter-Religious Dialogue at Georgetown University.
The head of an international 'monastery without walls', says all religions share a mystic tradition. At his London base, he tells how meditation can benefit everyone from children to business people
I'd agreed a date to meet the Anglo-Irish mystic Laurence Freeman. But where, I wondered, would a Benedictine monk have lunch? "How about the community?" Freeman suggested, mentioning the house in Kensington that is his London base. "We can meditate first, and then join the others at table. I only ask that you make a contribution."

ATLANTA, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- U.S. doctors are most apt to get a flu shot, nurses the least, but all healthcare workers are more likely to get vaccinated if offered for free, officials say.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted an Internet panel survey of 1,944 self-selected healthcare personnel April 1-16. Overall, 72 percent of healthcare personnel reported having an influenza vaccination for the 2012–13 influenza season, an increase from 66.9 percent vaccination coverage during the 2011-12 season.
More than 92 percent of physicians said they had gotten an influenza vaccine, 89 percent of pharmacists did, 88.5 percent of nurse practitioners/physician assistants did and 84.8 percent of nurses did.
Influenza vaccination coverage was highest among hospital-based healthcare personnel at 83 percent and was lowest among healthcare personnel at long-term care facilities at 58.9 percent.
Vaccination coverage was higher for healthcare personnel in occupational settings offering vaccination on-site at no cost.
Seventy-six percent said they were vaccinated at work on one vaccination day, while 86.2 percent said they were vaccinated at work on multiple days, compared with 53 percent who said they were vaccinated for influenza but their employer offered no on-site, no-coat flu shots.
The findings were published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

Swiss economy defies drop in US growth.
The markets' estimation of the US economy has worsened dramatically over the past few weeks. While the main concern at the start of December was just how hard the expected "soft landing" would turn out to be, this has been replaced by fears of a recession. There were two reasons for this considerable shift in opinion: a variety of worse-than-expected statistics from the US and the US Federal Reserve's surprise interest rate cut. UBS's economists have also revised their US growth forecasts downwards. However, they are expecting a slowdown rather than a severe downturn. For the year 2001 as a whole, UBS's economists put US growth at 2.2%, with a first-half figure of 1.6% rising to 2.7% in the second half of the year. Growth should accelerate once again in 2002 to reach 3.0%.
Poor US performance hits Japan harder than Europe
There can be no doubt that, since the US is the driving force behind the global economy, a weakening of its economy will have repercussions around the world. However, the different regions will be affected to different extents. For Europe (the EMU states), UBS has lowered its 2001 growth forecast slightly to 2.5%, but the 2002 figure remains unchanged at 2.8%. The impact on the already shaken Japanese economy, meanwhile, is likely to be more severe. UBS now forecasts growth of 0.7% for Japan in 2001, with second-half growth approaching zero.
Only minimal effects expected in Switzerland
On a more positive note, there are currently no indications that the global economic slowdown will have a significant effect on Switzerland's economy. Swiss growth is not dependent on exports alone. As a result, UBS sees no reason to alter its growth forecasts of 2.2% for 2001 and 2.0% for 2002. The growth motors behind these figures have changed slightly, though. The balance has shifted by a small amount from export-driven growth to domestic growth, in particular in terms of consumer spending and investment.
The principal risks inherent in this Swiss growth scenario relate to a marked deterioration in consumer sentiment and a sharper-than-expected economic downturn in Europe. Both of these developments could force us to revise our figures downwards.
Further interest rate cuts expected
UBS's economists expect the Fed to follow the surprise interest rate cut it made at the start of the year with further moves to reduce rates by a total of 150 basis points between now and mid-year. As far as the European Central Bank (ECB) is concerned, though, they currently see no grounds to anticipate a more expansive approach in the near future. A downward step of 25 to 50 basis points should take place, but not before the end of the second quarter. The strength of the domestic economy will likewise enable the Swiss National Bank (SNB) to postpone any action for the time being, particularly since the core inflation rate is expected to rise further in the near future on account of the tight labour market situation. However, if the ECB loosens the screw earlier than expected the SNB is more than likely to follow suit as the CHF could otherwise run the risk of overheating. The general cooling-off in the first half of the year should make for stable interest rates at the long end, although these may be in danger of rising gradually during the second half. UBS estimates that the 10-year government bond yield will be around 3.9% at the end of December. This prognosis is supported by our currency forecasts. UBS expects the EUR/CHF figure to reach 1.54 in June 2001 and 1.58 by December. It expects the EUR/USD figure to hit 1.05 in June and 1.00 by December, which implies a USD/CHF rate of 1.47 in June and 1.58 in December.

I would recommend The selfish gene by Richard Dawkins. It is targeted at a scientifically interested audience, but well written and recognized by the scientific community.
I think this book (The Story of Life, Southwood) would be just what you are looking for - it was one of my modules during my undergrad in Evolution and I think it touches on the basic geology too. It is quite an easy ready but covers the material pretty well, it also has good reviews on Amazon etc.
This book by Steven Rose is supposed to be an update of the original for a modern audience:

If I am baking more than one slab of ribs will the cook time need to be increased?
Probably. If you stack them, then you'll need to significantly increase the time. If you put them side by side, then a slight increase in time may be enough (unless you block air circulation in the oven). Exactly how much more would be very difficult for me to predict.

Post subject: Ribs with coffee dry rub
First, a bit of background: A few years back I served the Chinese-style ribs when I was watching an ice hockey game friends. Then last year one of them returned the favor, but he had altered the recipe a bit. Primary differences were 1) a dry rub being applied to the ribs and 2) the use of coffee grounds. Those were the best ribs I've ever had; especially the sauce was unbelievably good. Unfortunately he didn't keep notes or remember what went into the rub, so I set out to replicate his recipe.
So, yesterday, armed with two racks of baby back ribs and one well-stocked spice rack, I set to work. The dry rub was as follows (SI measurements; 0.5 dl is about 3.5 tablespoons):
1.5 dl brown sugar
0.5 dl coffee grounds
1 tbsp salt
2 tsp chili powder
1.5 tsp black pepper
1.5 tsp garlic powder
1.5 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp cinnamon
0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
0.5 tsp cumin
Makes about 2.5 dl (or 1 cup). I used half of this on the ribs, and stored the rest for the future. The ribs went to the fridge for the next day.
The next day I proceeded along the lines of the Chinese rib recipe above: I used the remainder of the rub instead of sugar, equal amount of sherry and half as much soy sauce (as it was already sufficiently salty and spicy).
After the meat was almost done, I took the ribs out, filtered the sauce (to get rid of coffee grinds) into a kettle, and put the meat back in with more heat. I added a bit of flour to the sauce to thicken it and reduced it for about 5-10 minutes until it was syrupy. Then I glazed the meat with it and put them back in for another 5 minutes.
The sauce came out perfectly. The coffee aromas blend with the sweet and spicy elements.
I heartily recommend this to everyone

Just used the oven baked OJ recipe and it came out great. I added a a dry rub to the ribs and it added a nice flavor to the meat. Next time I will add a little liquid smoke as well. Try it!

Post subject: Cooking Ribs
I always grill my dry rubbed ribs wrapped in foil on low heat for about an hour and a half wrapped in foil, then remove the foil and hit em with high heat and bbq sauce for about 30 minutes, 15 on each side.
Tonight, because I don't feel like getting the propane tank filled, I will try an oven baked method instead. I think I will go with a brown sugar and usual dry rub mixture (usually don't use much sugar). I like the previous posters method of putting skillet with water in the oven to get some steam action, I like that -- its pretty much my reason for wrapping them in foil on the grill and also to not burn them. I'll let you guys know how the cooking goes, it will be a little experiment in rib cooking for me.
And I will ask the pig how he likes it as I rip the meat off his bones! Weee weeeee little piggy!

Post subject: Mistakes taste good
I made ribs yesterday, and used the recipe from this posting, but I made a mistake and mixed all the ingrediants from both recipes together. They came out great! I cooked them in oven for 4 1/2 hours on 225 degrees then put them on grill for 10 minutes. I used the mixture on chicken too.

I have a 10 lb rack of regular (not baby back) pork ribs. I would like to bake them in the oven then finish them on the grill. I read the comments and am confused as to what is the proper temperature to cook them at and how long to cook them in the oven. Any advice?

I like the slow oven bake followed by a hot finish myself....
thing about ribs is, they are roughly same thickness - so a 10 lb slab cooks in about the same time as a 6 lb slab.
I do mine seasoned & wrapped in foil at 325'F for min three hours - that's a single layer timing, no stacking/piling up, etc.
you can go hotter, shortens time a bit - but the nice part of the foiled in oven low & slow method is the timing becomes less critical. you can easily hold them another hour - if longer is needed, turn off the heat & just leave them "rest" in the oven. the longer the time the more tender it will get - and it can get to "falling off the bone stage" - which some folk do not like so depends on how you like yours.
dry them off & grill / broil to finish

Post subject: oven ribs
Love this site, really enjoyed reading everyone's comments and variations, adaptations and versions of oven ribs.
My ribs are in the oven at this moment, 250F for about 2.5 hours, no spices or sauce. I will baste in BBQ sauce flipping ribs every minute for 10 minutes. I use Diana's BBQ sauce, any flavour. I used foil to cover my cookie sheet to prevent horrible messes, with parchment paper (not wax) so the ribs won't stick to the foil.
I will let y'all know how they turn out

Post subject: Variation on the Basic Recipe
I'm an American in Tbilisi, Georgia married to a native Georgian. Being Georgia and lacking certain conveniences available in the West, we've had to improvise on the basic recipe. Here's our spin:
1. Hire a driver and drive to a local village outside of the city. Browse several roadside vendors with freshly butchered pork and select your ribs. Since it's just before New Years Day (a huge deal here) there are literally dozens of local farmers selling freshly butchered organic pork. In our case, we bought about 10 kgs, roughly half of a medium sized pig, from the back leg to just before the front legs. We learned from the farmer that the pig had been fed only natural corn and was slaughtered only hours before we arrived.
2. When we got back home, I removed the rear leg from the ribs, and cut enough ribs from what remained to fit in our oven pan, removed the skin, trimmed the excess fat and rib meat, reserving for future use.
3. Since we don't have nice prepared barbeque sauces or rubs here, I had to improvise from the original in the article. Here's our BBQ sauce/rub recipe:
- ~1 cup of orange juice
- 300mg of Ketchup
- ~20 cloves of fresh garlic crushed
- ~2-3 tbps of Paprika
- Salt to taste
- Crushed red and black pepper to taste
Combine the ingredients and adjust as necessary to your preference. The exact amounts will depend on your personal taste. In Georgia, they tend to prefer very spicy foods so we tend to go heavy on the Red pepper.
4. Slit the outer (meaty part) of the ribs and sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper
5. Brush/slather the BBQ sauce mixture over the ribs and put the reminder in the bottom of the roaster pan.
6. Cover the pan/ribs with aluminum foil and cook in oven at 275F for ~ 4 hours.
7. Remove foil to caramelize for the final 20-30 mins
8. Remove from the oven and enjoy. Amazing! Thanks for the recipe.

I made the simple recipe with the BBQ Sauce and Orange Juice and the ribs were delicious! Only I rub the ribs the nite before with Adobo which is a meat rub and a few garlic gloves. I let the ribs marinade over night in the refrigerator. Then in the morning I took them out put them into my oven roaster at 350 degrees. I combined and lightly whisk the BBQ Sauce and 1/2 cup of Orange Juice poured it over the ribs. I let them cook for about 4 1/2 hrs. basting and turning them about every 45 minutes until they were almost falling off the bone! We had them with yellow rice with Gandules and some potato salad yum, yum, they were a big hit at my house!

Post subject: Good Ribs
This is the first time I've ever made ribs and this easy/easily modifiable recipe was perfect. I instinctively added about 2.5-3 oz of Wild Turkey 101 to the sauce and oj dip and felt the heat and added smoke from the bourbon did a good job evening out the prevailing sweetness of the mixture.
As an early post on the thread suggested, I also placed lemon slices over each rib, adding fresh fennel and basil pretty much just to make it look better in the baking dish.
After about 3 and a half hours, removing the ribs from the dip and broiling them for about eight minutes on each side imported the all-important char layer that locks in the juice while carry-over heat does its job on the inside.
Haven't read most of the posts on this thread, so this probably isn't adding anything to the discussion that hasn't been said already, but all this is really just to say 'THANKS!"

In The New York Times, Barnard psychology professor Alexandra Horowitz champions the footnote in an essay about their disappearance from electronic books. She writes:
"Since typing that small type, I have received dozens of angry and concerned queries about the anecdote. Why had I fed her grapes? Did I not know they were toxic? After some back-and-forth, I was surprised to discover that these incredulous comments often came from readers of the electronic version of my book, where the footnotes are shunted off to the end of the text, relegated to being mere endnotes. If footnotes are at risk of going unread, endnotes are even more so."
Read the full essay here.
Also in The New York Times, Prof. Horowitz considers research on happiness from bee and sheep scientists and linguists and artificial intelligence experts. An excerpt:
"Shakespear may have written "O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes," but he apparently never met many psychologists, a good number of whom have been attempting to do exactly this for some time. Psychology and its social-science cousin, behavioral economics, seem to have a lock on "happiness studies," tackling vexing questions about our positive and negative moods and our feelings of satisfaction and well-being."
Read the full essay here.
Prof. Horowitz's research is in animal cognition. She is currently testing anthropomorphisms made of the domestic dog, through experiments with dogs in natural settings. She is the author of the book Inside of a dog: What dogs see, smell, and know.

New Therapy for Lung Cancer in the News
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My wife is a never-smoker with metastatic lung cancer of the adenocarcinoma type. I saw the ABC news show on EML4/ALK. Is this an option for her?
, , responds:
EML4/ALK is an exciting discovery that I think shows where we are going in lung cancer therapy in that understanding a bit about how the cancer works is informing our therapy and we are moving fast. The fusion protein was discovered in 2007 and phase I and II testing have already been completed. In the phase II trial, patients with the fusion protein had an over 50% response rate, which is fantastic for lung cancer. The phase III trial is ongoing.
Unfortunately, EML4/ALK is present in only about 4% of patients with lung cancer. The patients most likely to have this translocation and be eligible for the therapy are light or never smokers with adenocarcinoma, with no mutations in EGFR or kRAS. Also, women are more likely than men to have the mutation. So, while only your doctor can give you definite answers to these kinds of questions, everything you've said here suggests that it's worth considering.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series, Lung Cancer: Where are We Now? View the entire transcript.

Requests is an ISC Licensed HTTP library, written in Python, for human beings.
Python's standard urllib2 module provides most of the HTTP capabilities you need, but the API is thoroughly broken. It was built for a different time — and a different web. It requires an enormous amount of work (even method overrides) to perform the simplest of tasks.
Things shouldn't be this way. Not in Python.
>>> r = requests.get('https://api.github.com', auth=('user', 'pass'))
>>> r.status_code
>>> r.headers['content-type']
>>> r.content
See the same code, without Requests.
Requests takes all of the work out of Python HTTP — making your integration with web services seamless. There's no need to manually add query strings to your URLs, or to form-encode your POST data.
The Washington Post, Twitter, Inc, Readability, and Federal US Institutions use Requests internally. It has been installed over 45,000 times from PyPi.
Requests is ready for today's web.

It is fitting that the next Baltimore Startup Weekend -- where entrepreneurs and coders and designers come together to launch companies -- is at the headquarters of Advertising.com.
Advertising.com is one of the biggest startups to ever come out of -- er, stay -- in Baltimore. Maybe it's office at the Tide Point complex in Locust Point will help give birth to another monster tech hit over the weekend of Sept. 28. (At: 1020 Hull St., Baltimore, MD).
So what's Startup Weekend about? According to its website, SW is part of a non-profit worldwide effort to support rapid startup formation over the course of a weekend, or roughly 54 hours. At the beginning of the weekend, people pitch potential business ideas and the crowd votes on the best ones. Then teams organically form around the teams.
I attended and wrote about last year's inaugural Startup Weekend event in Baltimore, where 130 people showed up and around 20 ideas were worked on. Parking Panda was one of them, a service for helping match drivers to open parking spots in urban areas, won the event and has since gone on to receive more investment. I was impressed to see how far ideas came, with some having working prototypes and smart designs.
This year, contest winners will have a pool of $10,000 worth of prizes and services to win from. Last year, that amount was around $6,000. So, SW in Baltimore is growing -- good news.
And folks: if there ever was an indicator that our region needs more technical workers, the attendance registration is "SOLD OUT" for non-technical folks (maybe filled by all you English majors with an app idea?) Startup Weekend needs developers and designers, too.

Syria's exile opposition opens conference in Turkey amid anger, confusion
Syria's political opposition met Thursday in Istanbul to elect new leadership, choose a government-in-exile and deliberate on a negotiating stance for peace talks, but it hit a controversy when the immediate past president of the Syrian Opposition Coalition, a Muslim cleric who no longer holds any post in the group, presided over the opening session and released a surprise peace initiative without consulting the group.
It wasn't clear why Mouaz al Khatib was even in the chair to open the meetings. Khatib has twice resigned as the president of the group, and the coalition – formally called the National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces – had appointed an acting president, George Sabra, a Christian, to replace Khatib in late April. It was Sabra who'd represented the coalition Wednesday at a meeting in Amman, Jordan, with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and foreign ministers from 10 other countries.
The confusion was indicative of the difficulty the coalition has had organizing itself since it was willed into existence last October after the United States declared that it no longer had confidence in another Syrian opposition group, the Syrian National Council. Since then, however, the new organization has missed several deadlines for appointing a government that would rule should President Bashar Assad fall.
Khalid al Saleh, the coalition's spokesman, said Khatib "led the very first session, and after that it was transferred." He noted that Khatib's term, had he remained president, ran out May 11, as did that of his successor, but that the coalition's bylaws didn't specify who'd be president after that date.
Haitham al Malih, a former Syrian judge, compared Khatib's afterlife as president of the coalition to that of other Arab leaders who've resigned in public but remain in their posts.
Malih said he was incensed by Khatib's issuance of a 16-point peace plan that in effect would retain the Assad regime, without Assad, for an interim period and allow Assad to leave the country with 500 of his closest aides and their families. Assad would turn power over to Vice President Farouk al Shara or the current prime minister, Wael al Halqi, 20 days after accepting the initiative.
Malih said he'd chastised Khatib before the 63-member Coalition General Assembly, whose deliberations weren't open to the public.
"I said before all of them: 'You are not alone. You cannot say this is my idea,' " Malih told McClatchy. He quoted Khatib as responding: "It's an individual thing, it has nothing to do with the coalition."
Malih said some of Khatib's backers defended the initiative as an attempt to embarrass the Syrian government, and its principal foreign backers, Russia and Iran. But spokesman Saleh said the Syrian government already had rejected the idea, though he said the proposal still would be discussed during the meetings here, which originally were set to last two days but now might run four days or more.
The coalition will discuss on Friday what position to take toward a proposed peace conference that Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, have called for next month in Geneva.
Saleh said the coalition was uncertain what the peace conference could accomplish. "Things are still way up in the air," he said.
Malih was more direct in criticizing the proposed conference, which would include representatives of the opposition and the Assad government. "It is crazy," he said. "We cannot change from fighting now with weapons to apply for peaceful negotiation until we became more powerful than the regime. Before that, nothing will happen."
The coalition, to which the United States has pledged $60 million, is expected to select new leaders and name an interim government. Although there were signs this past week that Ghassan Hitto, the coalition's interim prime minister, was about to be ousted, Saleh said Hitto would have more than one chance to survive a confidence vote among the participants.
The coalition plans to expand its membership by bringing in sectors of Syrian society that aren't well represented now, including the Kurdish population and women. But it will have to sift through some 250 suggestions for new members and pare them to 31, Saleh said.
What seemed to be missing from the meeting here was a sense of urgency about the precarious situation that anti-Assad rebels find themselves in on the ground, where government forces have been scoring victories for the past several weeks, particularly in the area surrounding the town of Qusayr, near the border with Lebanon.
There, as many as 20,000 civilians are holed up in the town as government troops, backed by pro-Assad militia and fighters from Lebanon's Assad-allied Hezbollah movement, maneuver to recapture it. Saleh didn't mention the siege of the town until he was asked by a Syrian "citizen-journalist" who'd recently left Damascus.
Saleh said the first thing the delegates did was discuss Qusayr. "They have set up committees to talk with people there and to monitor the situation, not only about Qusayr but also about all the massacres taking place in Syria. They're trying to gather information from eyewitnesses to give to the international community," he said.

This question has been on my mind for probably 10 years. Ever since I've started programming for a living. And I've seen multiple discussions about good fit, distractions, being in the zone, etc. But I haven't seen links to some information/research that could give an objective self evaluation measure/tool to understand how you're really doing.
What constantly bugs me, is that I think I'm not spending enough time on coding, and the effective work hours are not 8 out of 8, but less, with some days being even super ineffective, exactly like in this article.
There are some metrics expressed as lines of code per day, with some sources quoting 1.5 being good and some sources indicating 500 per day being normal, but this again, is completely invalid metric as far as I can see.
So at the end of the day, you have an assignment, you do it, but part of the time evaporates in sort of like "wth I was doing" kind of way. Emails, just staring at the code, thinking, painting a mental picture of the code in your head, floating somewhere, rethinking how things could have done more effectively, etc.
And because of that, I'm never sure if I need to do something ASAP, to keep the raises coming, or am I paranoid, or is it just normal.
The only half-good measure I've found so far, is seeing the amount of code other developers produce-vs-code I produce. And that usually floats around same number. But when I look at my code, or others code I still always get a feeling it could be done 10x faster.
Then again, code crunching doesn't seem to work, or does seem to cause a burnout if not handled properly.
So do you know of a good self evaluation approach to see if you're ineffective/effective? How do you weight the work you've done?

Rhymes with "pass"?
I think it rhymes with "gas", not the long A of "pass".
One obvious beneficiary of the rush to embrace enterprise analytics and "Big Data" is the SAS Institute Inc (or just plain SAS – rhymes with "pass"), the granddaddy of statistical analysis software. But it can be argued that SAS doesn't really need the analytics boom; they've been doing quite nicely up until now without it, …
SAS is the only company I work with who charge for licensing based on the number of CPU cores in the machine running SAS. If that doesn't sound like a big deal, consider the last time you were able to buy a single-core system. Now consider the rise of virtualization. Want to run SAS in a VM farm? Better buy a number of licenses equal to the physical machine running SAS, NOT the VM! And forget about using dynamic load-balancing technologies such as DRS, because that's a license violation!
Nearly all our blue label number crunching software has been charged on power units, CPUs, cores and sockets. All of them have had to change to some degree to accommodate VM farms and clouds. The responsiveness seems (to me) have been driven by just how close their nearest competition is.
What's also interesting is the number of stats grads coming out of university pre-loaded with R. A quick browse around also shows a lot of work to link R with things like Hadoop.
Penguin herder got it right.
There are FOSS alternatives that are greatly superior: R and Octave (matlab clone) to name two.
Those enterprises who keep paying for the expensive annual support contracts and getting inferior software for it, are cases of plain inertia not much different than paying millions per year for Oracle databases.
The up and comers; the younger companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. don't use this expensive, proprietary and restricting stuff. They started from scratch, with the much better free options, which is part of why they are more successful.
This 2.5B behemoth is near its peak. IMHO.
R & Octave - Greatly superior? In what sense?
I think you ought to qualify a bland statement like that. Do you mean that it's free?
What about usability:
- scalability?
- wide platform support?
- integration with other products?
- security?
the list goes on...
People and enterprise chose their software based on all the above. I 'm a big fan of Linux, Open Office and have/do use both personally and in the enterprise. etc but the tired old FOSS is better by default is almost religious faith rather than a considered opinion. Just like the arguments about Windows, Linux, UNIX etc.
Horses for courses.....

Motorists have been urged to drive safe following a series of crashes on the motorway network.
Police say they have dealt with 'multiple' crashes on the M6 between junctions 33 and 28 today, while a rolling roadblock was being used following 'numerous' accidents on the M61 southbound between junction eight and six.
They happened amid sporadic downpours of both snow and sleet across the region, while heavy hail also fell over the Fylde coast, leaving the roads treacherous at high speed.
The Lancashire Fire and Rescue service called for motorists to drive safely in the challenging road conditions after crews were called to junction 26 of the M6, southbound for Wigan, at around 8.15am, when two cars crashed and burst into flames.
At around 10am, at junction 28 northbound for Leyland, there were further delays after a car overturned.
One motorist said there was debris on the M61, close to the services at Horwich, at around 12.30pm, while another described several 'bumps' as cars 'slammed on for queues'.
A spokesman for the North West Motorway Police said numerous crashes close to junction six of the M61 had caused the rolling roadblock, and said traffic would be released as soon as possible.
Later, firefighters from Wesham were called to junction three eastbound on the M55, for Kirkham, following an accident.
At around 4.30pm, Lancashire Road Police said the occupants of a car, which left the motorway and overturned in an adjacent field, were 'lucky' to escape with minor injuries.
'Lucky' was also the word used for the driver and occupants of a silver Citroen Xsara, which later collided with a lamppost at the Helter Skelter roundabout, just off the M55 at Blackpool.
The crash resulted in 'minor injuries and a lamppost Pisa would be proud of', one officer said.

Ben Salmon's early life suggested nothing that might be considered saintly or even out of the ordinary. He was an active member of his own Roman Catholic parish and the Knights of Columbus. Further, he was active in labor unions and social justice causes but only to the extent to begin to gather attention. He married his high school sweetheart and it seemed that all was going to be typical for Ben. But, Woodrow Wilson and the United States government joined the then-current "war to end all war" and in 1917, Ben received notification that he had been drafted to serve in his country's military. This presented a particular problem for Ben who insisted that he was a pacifist and would not serve in any war regardless of who said it was a "just war" or a "good war." Ben remained convinced that Jesus did not leave open the option of war to his followers no matter how "just" it was. He applied not only for the status of conscientious objector but also to be totally removed from the military system--he was unwilling to even be a noncombatant within the military. This status was conferred upon the churches known as "peace churches" like the Quakers and the Mennonites. But the Roman Catholics were convinced that this was a "just war" and so Ben's application was dismissed as cowardice.
When asked why he refused to serve he cited his faith and insisted that he didn't have the right to wage war on those that Christ called him to love. For this, he was the object of a military court martial and sentenced to death. This sentence was later reduced to twenty-five years in prison but it cannot be forgotten or avoided that the State was willing to impose death upon somebody because of their refusal to support State-sponsored death. He was routinely moved from prison to prison because he refused to do any work that might be related to the military system or might support a war he saw as a compromise of the his Christian calling. Even after the war was ended--shortly after he was incarcerated--he was held by the State as a prisoner. For long periods of time he was held in solitary confinement, sustained on only bread and water, and forced to live in hot, small, dark cell over the the sewers. He would write why all this happened in a letter: "Far more than two years I have been illegally imprisoned because I refused to kill or help to kill."
Eventually, Ben engaged in a hunger strike with the intention of either being freed or being starved to death. He was no longer even willing to cooperate in the State's abuses that kept him alive. He wrote to a military group: "My hunger strike is not a negative program, but a positive appeal to humanity that they substitute Love for Force. If I succumb in this attempt to hold myself aloof from Militarism — organized murder — I hope that you gentlemen, who are mainly responsible for my predicament, will, with your co-murderers, make some provision for the needs of my widowed-mother, wife and child. whom you have thus far robbed of their breadwinner, and whom, in the event of my demise, will be prevented from obtaining the support that I could otherwise provide." They forced milk down his throat and did their best to keep his hunger strike secret from the public. Yet, when his hometown paper found out about it they referred to him as a "slacker" and "the man with a yellow streak down his spine as broad as a country highway." He found few friends in his quest to proclaim life and peace. He was denied the sacraments by priests, he was labeled a heretic for not supporting the State's war and suggesting that Christ called us to peace, and he was vilified and abused with regularity. Finally, though, they released him because of his hunger strike. He was free from his bonds but not from the reputation he had developed. He died shortly after his release because of his deteriorating health. He died a man who remained convinced of his early suggestions: "The justice of man cannot dethrone the justice of God" and "There is no such animal as a 'just war.'"

In 2008, trout season officially began in all waters open to public angling on Saturday, April 5 at 8 a.m. Each spring
approximately 570,000 trout are stocked in the state's public waters during. Standard production trout average 10.5 inches but range up to 12 inches.
By opening day, approximately 180,000 trout were stocked in the state's freshwater streams, lakes, ponds and impoundments.
Less crowded waters can often be found in special regulation areas - see the Freshwater Digest for details. Anglers should remember to check brook trout for jaw tags - if one is landed you have a "Hook-a-Winner" fish!

text: 06 أغسطس 2015 17:00 Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, and its equity partner Alitalia are hosting the official "Chengdu Week" event from 6 to 12 August at the Expo Milano 2015 joint pavilion. As the Official Global Airline Carriers for Expo Milano 2015, Etihad Airways and Alitalia have launched an iconic joint pavilion. By incorporating destination partners into the pavilion, Etihad Airways and Alitalia are able to bring the world to the Expo, one week at a time. These events will give a better understanding of what the travel industry can offer, and "Chengdu Week" is just one of the premium destination showcases to be featured at the joint pavilion. Chengdu is the capital city of Sichuan Province in southwest China, and is famous around the world as the home of China's Giant Pandas. Sponsored by the Chengdu Culture and Tourism Development Group, "Chengdu Week" will include a themed exhibit and activities to showcase the city as a premium tourist destination and a regional cultural centre in Southwest China. The Chengdu Culture and Tourism Development Group, established in 2007 by the Chengdu municipal government, is crucial to the development of the tourist industry in Chengdu, and the main partner responsible for programming this event. The full schedule of events will include a master chef class to teach guests how to make Sichuan cuisine at home, a traditional tea ceremony, a Chengdu heritage talent show called Face Changing Opera, and a "Kungfu Panda" welcome show. The cooking show includes five popular Sichuan family cuisines, including Chinese scrambled eggs, braised eggplant, Kungpao Chicken, Mapo (spicy) Tofu, and Chengdu Spicy Dumplings, which will be presented for sampling at the Etihad Airways and Alitalia Pavilion every day during the week. Shane O'Hare, Senior Vice President, Marketing of Etihad Airways, said: "As one of our four destinations on Greater China, Chengdu is an important market for us. We are excited to use the Expo Milano Joint Pavilion to allow more people to know the beautiful city." "Etihad Airways launched its Chengdu route with four flights per work on 15 December 2011, with daily services beginning on 30 March, 2014, offering the first and only direct airline connection between the UAE and China's Sichuan province, home to a population of over 80 million. Our guests traveling from Chengdu and nearby Southwest China are now connected to more than 110 destinations across the Gulf region, Middle East, Africa, Europe, and North America through Abu Dhabi." Ariodante Valeri, Chief Commercial Officer of Alitalia, said: "We are delighted to host at our Expo pavilion this week of events dedicated to Chengdu. China is a strategic market for the development of Alitalia. In March we launched the Milan - Shanghai service, operating for the whole duration of Expo Milan 2015. By the end of the year we will also launch a new Rome – Beijing non stop service. Alitalia serves Chengdu from Rome, Milan and Venice via Abu Dhabi thanks to code-share flights with Etihad Airways". Kevin Long, Vice General Manager, Marketing Branch of the Chengdu Culture and Tourism Development Group said "As a regional hub, Chengdu plays an important role to connecting 120 domestic cities in China and 71 destinations all over the world. Chengdu is a top destination for fine dining in Asia. Our marketing event "Journey to the City of Spicy Cuisine" will be introduced to the world during the EXPO Milano 2015, and has the full support and cooperation of our airline partners Etihad Airways and Alitalia. Etihad Airways has launched non-stop international flights to Chengdu, we are promoting tourism in Chengdu through innovative online and offline marketing together." Currently, Etihad Airways and Alitalia operate combined double-daily flights to Milan and Rome, and a daily service to Venice. Etihad also operates a daily non-stop service from Abu Dhabi to Rome Fiumicino Airport. The expansive network of Etihad Airways and Alitalia provides unprecedented access and convenience for travellers between China, the Middle East, and Italy. Throughout the Expo, Etihad Airways and Alitalia will provide approximately 100 daily flights to and from Milan. These flights will include 125 cities with non-stop flights to Milan and an additional 741 destinations with just one stop. Of the 20 million visitors expected for Expo 2015, 7.6 million will reach Milan by plane; of these, 1.5 million will come from intercontinental destinations, and 3.3 million from international destinations. اتصلوا بنا تفاصيل الاتصال آراؤكم إذا أردتم أن توجهوا لنا أي تعليق أو شكوى أو إطراء أو سؤال، اضغطوا هنا انضموا إلينا انضموا لصفحتنا في فيسبوك شاهدونا زوروا قناة الاتحاد للطيران في يوتيوب تابعونا الاتحاد للطيران (العربي)
