Disparity Studies
In my discussion of the job market I said "I only saw two Korea positions, which seems about par for previous years: at some point, though, Korea positions should catch up with Japan ones." Morgan Pitelka took exception, noting (correctly) that
Other than UCLA, which continues to have one of the most productive Korean studies programs outside of Korea, and perhaps Harvard and Columbia, how many grad schools are cranking out Korean studies PhDs? I also know of only a handful of liberal arts colleges with any substantial Korean studies, and rarely language. Very few regional/MA-granting universities have substantial Korean studies. Almost all have some Japanese studies. Also, as far as I know, few colleges or universities DON'T have access to study abroad in Japan. On the other hand, most colleges and universities don't have study abroad options in Korea.
He's absolutely right, of course: Korean studies doesn't have the infrastructure Japanese studies does in the US1 and that means that — like the painfully slow growth of MidEast studies and Islamic history after 9/11 — it will take real time and effort to build. But that's a symptom, I think, not the root of the issue. As I said, "Korean history is no less interesting than Japanese history, and the US is no less involved in Korean affairs than it is in Japanese affairs."
Another commenter, "Overthinker" offered a cultural explanation:
There seem to be three fundamental reasons why Japanese Studies is "bigger" than Korean. One is that WW2 was more significant that the Korean War, and has given us longer-lasting imagery; household words like Pearl Harbour and Hiroshima that everyone knows about, whereas to most people the Korean War is basically Klinger in a dress. Second is the dominance of Japanese products in the marketplace: while LG and Samsung etc are strong players, they have not yet achieved the dominance of Toyota, Sony, and Nintendo. Third is the generally "cooler" images of Japan. Think of Korea, and most Americans would be hard-pressed to think beyond the aforementioned M*A*S*H and perhaps Kim Il Jung singing "I'm so ronery". Mention Japan and people think of samurai and geisha and ninja, plus robots and giant rubber monsters stomping Tokyo on a regular basis. All these three factors would seem to indicate a greater interest in Japan at the BA level, which translates to bigger graduate programs, and more PhDs in the area. To become bigger, Korea needs to become more popular – more people at the undergrad level need to be curious about the place.
This is closer, I think: I definitely agree that Japan's lead in economic and cultural production is a part of the puzzle. The relationship between pop culture images and student demand is not always straightforward, but it is true that there is more Japanalia in American culture than Koreania2 and more interest in the cultural roots of its economic success3 because that success was so striking in the 80s.
But, as I've said before, "there's no question that a historian can't complicate by talking about what led up to it" and I think the key to this puzzle is earlier. Much earlier: I think it starts in 1853.

CHICAGO - One minute, 6-year-old Nathan Woessner was scampering up a massive dune in northern Indiana with his father and a friend. He was gone the next, without a warning or sound.
More than three hours later Friday, rescuers pulled Nathan from under 11 feet of sand. He showed no signs of life: He was cold to the touch, had no pulse and wasn't breathing. His limp body was put into the back of a pickup truck, which started toward a waiting ambulance.
The plan was to take him to the hospital rather than the coroner's office, even if he was dead, to "give the family and rescue workers hope," La Porte (Ind.) County Chief Deputy Coroner Mark Huffman said Monday.
As the truck bounced over the dune, a medic noticed something astonishing: The boy took a breath. Then, the cut on his head started bleeding. The jolt apparently shocked Nathan's body back to life, Huffman said. Nathan was rushed to the hospital and was crying in the emergency room when Huffman arrived a few minutes later.
"Man, I tell you that was such a great feeling," Huffman said. "This is not something that I as the chief deputy coroner get to report that often. It's an absolute miracle this child survived."
Nathan of Sterling, Ill., remains in critical condition at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital, but he is expected to recover and be released in 10 to 14 days, his physcian, Tracy Koogler, said Monday. Of greatest concern is his lungs, as the amount of sand he breathed in could lead to asthma-like symptoms, she said.
Don Reul, Nathan's grandfather, was preparing for bed after a long day of tooling around on motorcycles in New York state with his wife and another couple when the phone rang. On the other end was the "hysterical" voice of his daughter, Faith Woessner.
"She said, �Dad, Dad, we can't find him, he's under the sand,'?" said Reul, a minister from Galva, Ill.
But he understood little else, and by the time he hung up, he believed his grandson had fallen on the beach at Indiana Dunes National Seashore and had been pulled into Lake Michigan.
"I said Nathan has died, he's drowned," Reul told his wife.
The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore run about 25 miles along the southern shore of Lake Michigan and is a popular vacation spot that has long attracted families, hikers and birdwatchers from across the Midwest. The dune Nathan fell feet-first into is one of the tallest dunes, the 123-foot-tall Mount Baldy.
Nathan's 8-year-old friend rushed to where his father and Nathan's father were, and told them Nathan had vanished. Reul said by the time Nathan's father found the hole, he could hear his son, but not see him.
The two men frantically dug as much sand from the spot where Nathan had fallen as they could, but stopped after it was about four feet deep, Reul said, realizing they may have driven Nathan "deeper and deeper."
Faith, meanwhile, was begging people to help them dig.
Michigan City, Ind., firefighters soon arrived and used a backhoe to try to catch up with the boy, who was still sinking into the sand. According to media reports, the first responders pushed a rod down into the sand in the hopes of finding the boy, too.
Hours passed without a sign of Nathan. Huffman, the coroner arrived, which Reul said must have been a sure sign rescuers feared the worst: It wouldn't be a rescue.
Then, volunteer firefighter Ryan Miller spotted the outline of what looked like a rotten tree about 11 feet down - maybe more - and pushed the rod down until it stopped at the boy. Michigan City firefighter Brad Kreighbaum reached down and "felt what he believed to be Nathan's head," Miller said.
It was just in time, as there was no air pocket surrounding Nathan.
"He was fully encapsulated in sand," Miller said, noting it took about five firefighters to pull him out.
Once the family heard the boy was bleeding, Reul said, "Hope began to bubble up ... that Nathan's not gone."
He was airlifted to the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital from an Indiana hospital Friday night.
"I expected him to arrive much sicker than he did," said Koogler, medical director of the pediatric intensive care unit.
Nathan was sedated so doctors could remove as much of the sand from his lungs as possible. She said Monday physicians do not see any more sand particles, but believe some are still in there.
Doctors said early neurological tests didn't reveal any brain damage; Nathan can move his arms, legs, fingers and toes. Koogler also said Nathan's eyes appear to be fine, adding he must have had closed them while buried in the sand.
She said the biggest concern remains the boy's lungs, telling reporters Monday Nathan could develop asthma-like symptoms in the months to come, but that the injury to his lungs was "not nearly as severe as I expected it to be."
Koogler said if Nathan continues to recover at the same rate, he likely will be taken off the ventilator by the end of the week and released from the hospital in 10 to 14 days, but may need another month in a rehabilitation facility before he goes home.
And in six months, she said, �I'm hoping that he's going to be acting like a normal 6- to 7-year-old, riding a bicycle, doing what a normal 6- or 7-year-old does."
Reul said before he and his wife heard anything about his grandson, he experienced sharp, stabbing pains in his chest. Reul was not ready to say Monday that those pains happened at approximately the time his grandson fell into the sinkhole.
But he was sure of what happened after: "It is a miracle."

Need help with posing seniors? Check out the MCP™ Senior Posing Guides, filled with tips and tricks for photographing high school seniors.
Flattering Posing for Senior Photography by guest blogger Sandi Bradshaw
Hi ya'll! Today I'm going to chat at you a little bit about posing. For most photographers, posing seems to be one of those love it or hate it aspects of what we do. Whether you are a very traditional-posed-portrait type of photographer or all the way on the other end of the spectrum as a lifestyle photographer…you will always have to at least give direction to your clients as to how to situate themselves so that they will look as natural as possible. You also want to make sure that your posing suggestions are flattering to your subject. What works for one client won't necessarily work for others.
The goal…whether you shun typical posing or embrace it…is to have your portraits look as natural as possible and allow your viewers to see your subject without much thought given to the "pose". Some photographers are naturally gifted at pulling this off and others have to study and learn techniques that will aid them in this, but posing and giving direction to our clients is a huge part of our job as professionals, whether we like it or not.
Posing encompasses much more than just the positioning of your subjects body…it also involves the attitude that you want them to project and the facial expression that you want to capture. This doesn't have to be as technical as it sounds…but, it's important to think ahead of time about what you want a particular image to feel like. Sometimes you can capture drastically different moods in the same pose just by a change of facial expression.
One of the main things that I strive for in posing my seniors is to convey movement and fluidity in the image. That doesn't mean that they need to look like they are in motion, but rather just convey that they are a living, breathing, moving person…not a static creature! We've all seen the chain store poses that are so stiff that the subjects almost don't look like real people. You want your viewers to engage with the subject of your images…and the first step to achieving that goal is for YOU to be engaging with your subject. Your camera is an extension of your eyes…and if you are engaging with them and making them feel comfortable in front of the camera that will come across in your images.
Some practical things to consider for flattering posing:
- Avoid arms falling straight down at their sides. This makes arms appear larger and it also creates that static appearance. Position arms on hips, up against a wall or fence, overhead, in pockets…front or back…anything that shows movement.
- Be sure to pay attention to your subjects posture. Most people tend to slouch when they are comfortable…and while you want your subjects to look comfortable you don't want them to look slouched. You need to keep an eye on this because your subjects won't.
- If you like a particular pose, try to change it up a bit by having your subject look a different direction…off to the side, down, up…all can give very different looks to the same pose.
- When posing girls in a sitting position, make sure to show movement in their legs. You want to avoid having their legs appear stuck together…especially at a side angle. Have one or both legs bent at the knees, at differing heights to show more fluidity in the pose.
- Shooting at a slight downward angle, particularly for close-ups, helps to slim your subjects face. It helps to reduce or hide any double chins and is a very flattering angle for most everyone. Just make sure that you don't get stuck in the rut of always shooting from that angle when shooting close-ups.
- Be mindful of limbs…a slight bend at the elbows and knees in every pose will always make the image look more natural. Also…in standing positions, direct your subjects to balance their weight more on one side that the other since that is the way that we naturally stand.
- Avoid shooting heavier people straight on…in fact, it's typically not flattering even for thin people. Even a very slight turn of the hips creates a much more natural look.
- For guys you want to help position them in order to make them look strong and confident in their images. Folding arms across chest, squatting in some variation of the catcher's position, leaning forward with elbows on thighs in a sitting position, and hands in one or both pockets or belt loops are all standard ways of positioning a male senior in order to give that appearance.
- Something to watch for with guys is the position of their hands when their arms are relaxed…you want to be mindful of hand positioning that appears feminine.
- If your senior guy plays a sport or an instrument, ask them to bring either along. As long as you are steering away from static posing you can really do well with images that show a genuine part of who they are.
One of the most helpful things you can do to improve your posing ideas is to create a posing journal for yourself. It will take time to build up a library of posing that appeals to you, but it can be an invaluable tool to you as you prepare for your sessions. Some of the best images for your posing journal can be found in trendy catalogs and magazines. Just cut out images that appeal to you and jot down what it is that you love about the images and refer to it often.
Another thing that can be helpful as you start to build your own portfolio of shots that you love is to take advantage of your phone if you have image library capabilities on it. You can upload some of your favorite shots to your phone and if you find yourself in a creative rut during your session just flip through your portfolio…you're juices will be flowing again in no time!
Inspiration is plentiful online…but, do be careful that you are being inspired to create and not inspired to copy. It's so hard, particularly when you are starting out in this business, not to copy the work of photographers that you are inspired by. We all have those whose work we admire and when we see an image that resonates in us…we naturally desire to create the same thing that we see. It's widely accepted that it's hard to be unique in this business…especially now with the internet being a virtual showroom for every photographer's work…but your unique photography style will develop as you convey your connection with your subjects and through your post processing methods. Even if a particular pose has been done before…and it most likely has…you can make it yours by not focusing so much on the posing itself, but more on connecting with your subject in a way that draws your viewers in…and makes them want to keep looking. :o)
Many of you have become subscribers to my blog since this series began…so I just wanted to say thank you and welcome!
AND…a HUGE thank you to the spectacular Jodi Friedman for inviting me to do this series…it's been a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series which will cover more of the business side of working with seniors.
I also wanted to answer a couple more questions from the comments in the last post as well…
Sandra C asked, "Thanks for the tips! There is one thing I'm wondering about…..dirt….looking at these pics, you have them sitting on the ground, in old rusty wagons, back alleys, junk piles etc. These places are usually not that clean, not even remotely. So how do you handle that, do you carry a broom and some sanity towels with you?"
LOL! No! But, I do warn my clients ahead of time that they will get dirty. I've subjected my poor clients to some pretty gross stuff all in the name of getting great shots! Particularly in urban photography settings, which are obviously my favorite, you definitely have grunge to deal with. I happen to be a HUGE germaphobe…I can't even begin to tell you how true that is…yet, somehow when I am shooting I can overlook a myriad of things that on a daily basis would make my skin crawl. I've never had anyone complain and I do make the safety of my clients a huge priority, so I would not put them in a situation that would be dangerous…but, dirty…yes.
Several of you asked, "How many images do you usually take and how many proofs do you provide to a senior?"
I am a compulsive over shooter. I like to have a lot of options so that I can choose my absolute favorite image in a series rather than have to settle for one where I'm not happy with the expression or attitude. So…on average, I shoot around 200 frames at a typical senior session…sometimes more if we are shooting at more than one location. And, I usually show between 25-35 fully edited images in a senior client's gallery.
And…one more thing. I have just opened up registration to the fall FOCUS 2009 photography workshop in August of this year. If you are interested in learning more about my shooting techniques and my post processing, as well as the ins and outs of running a successful photography business then please visit my blog for more information. Hope to see you there!

The first quilt in the Week of Tools is a fun whimsical quilt made by Lauren Hawley of Sew Modern simply named "The Pirate Quilt". There are several "tools" that Lauren used that made this baby quilt easier to put together.
In Lauren's own words:
This was really fun. I started with some fabric from Riley Blake's Pirates. I used my Accuquilt GO Cutter to make the hexagons—so easy! I fused them onto the quilt with Steam a Seam 2 and then hand stitched each one into place with embroidery thread. Then I embroidered the pirate images and hand stitched the map line.
At that point I thought maybe it was a bit boring, but after I quilted it, I really liked it. Stripey bindings are always a hit for me too. It was just fun to make it all up and incorperate different elements into it than I usually do. I NEVER thought I would be into hand stitching so much, but I'm really digging it.
Tools Used:
Two main "tools" were used on this quilt. The first was the cutter used to cut the hexagon shapes, the Accuquilt GO! Cutter.
From their website: The AccuQuilt GO! Fabric Cutter is a fast, precise, affordable fabric cutter that allows quilters and fabric crafters to cut fabric as much as 90% faster than scissors or rotary cutting. Perfect for the beginner and occasional quilter.
The second "tool" was Steam a Seam 2, a double sided fusible interfacing made by the Warm Company. From their website:
Steam-A-Seam 2 Double Stick has the pressure sensitive on both sides which allows for a temporary hold to both the appliqué material and the background material. You can hold your project vertically and the appliqué pieces stay in place and are still repositionable until fused with an iron.

The purpose of this policy is to reduce the possibility of misuse and abuse of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications on campus and to provide consistent recommendations regarding diagnosis and treatment.
Stimulant Medications (Ritalin, Adderall, Dexedrine) are Class II narcotics that are commonly used in the treatment of ADD/ADHD. While these medications can have a meaningful impact on individuals with a diagnosis of ADD/ADHD, without appropriate medical oversight stimulant medications can lead to addiction, psychosis and other serious cardiovascular side effects. In recent years, the use of ADHD medications without prescriptions by college students has increased considerably.
Due to the current prevalence of misuse and abuse on college campuses, stimulant medications will not be prescribed by the Marquette University Medical Clinic. In order for students with a current diagnosis of ADD/ADHD to receive appropriate treatment, medical monitoring and continuity of care, the Marquette University Medical Clinic recommends that you continue your prescription with your home provider. You should meet with your home provider at a clinically appropriate frequency during holiday periods and visits home. If that is not feasible, we can help you find a psychiatrist in the local community.
If you have not been diagnosed but suspect that you have ADHD, you can schedule a screening at the MU Counseling Center by calling (414) 288-7172.

Madrid, capital of freedom lovers
Forty years is nothing in historical terms, but it's a long time for Spain and its capital, Madrid. Liberated from Franco's dictatorship since 1975, the city now breathes freely. It can rebuild and glorify its past, unfetter its creativity in all the arts, and become a world leader once again. This magical city shouts 'Libertad!' at the crossroads of Europe.
Less than a century ago, progressivist Spain and the Republic died in Madrid, arms in hand, facing the cry of a cripple: 'Viva la Muerte!' Ever since the dictatorship took its last breath, Madrid, capital of a new kingdom—a constitutional monarchy that champions democracy—has never been more radiant. Here, today, culture is in a state of permanent flowering under fresh winds of freedom and the hot breath from the nostrils of Pablo Picasso's Minotaur.
Art is blooming everywhere, including in some places previously used as monasteries (Las Descalzas Reales) and private palaces (Thyssen-Bornemisza and Lázaro Galdiano). Churches display El Greco's work and Goya remains under the heavy fire of French troops in the Prado.
Today, modern and contemporary art has pride of place on the walls of the Reina Sofia museum, while the Madrileño art scene electrifies the magical site of CaixaForum and the art galleries of Lavapies. The fashion crowd finds its designer clothes in the Salamanca district, and hangs out in legendary luxury hotels (the Ritz, the Westin Palace), haunted by the stars, or, wrapped in a Capa Seseña hidalgo cape, and attends one of the world's most beautiful opera halls, the Teatro Real.
Who would have imagined that a small fort built at the end of the ninth century by the Cordovan emir Muhammad I, would one day have the best nightlife scenes in Europe, and be a mecca of fusion and molecular gastronomy—a showcase destination teeming with bodegas, tapas and wine bars?
Here, nearly a century ago, Luis Buñuel and Federico García Lorca went to Toledo (30 minutes by train from Madrid) in search of unforgettable experiences, wandering, titillated, in the alleys of the old city. Today, they would find them in Madrid.

It's completely free
Yes, you don't even need a watch to track your runs and rides. Simply get the App on your iPhone or Android and start running. "Individual sessions can be analyzed in an in-depth manner with various tools like graphical elements, lap tables and so on," says Janne Kallio, Suunto's digital leader. "It tells you how much you've been training over the last month or year and what kind of intensities you've been doing," he adds.
Suunto Movescount App is available for iPhone and Android.
Turn your route into a Movie
One of the best features of Movescount is the ability to turn your route into a short movie to share on your social channels. The movie is a 3d view animation of your route. You can also add pictures. Provided they've been time-stamped correctly, they appear at the points where they were taken. To create, simply hit the Suunto Movie button when you're in the Movescount App.
It's crowd-sourced
There are 20,000 plus training programmes across every sport imaginable, from trail running to basketball – and they're created by our users. If you own an Ambit, these can then be downloaded onto the watch so they can take you through each session. Learn how to use them here.
Movescount users have created and shared about 10, 000 apps.
You can follow your friends
"We just launched the 'activity feed' to help the community work together," says Kallio. "You can see in one go in the feed every action they have done – moves, new training programmes etc." Use the activity feed to follow friends and athletes and use the shoutbox to leave a message.
It's home to the App zone
Ever wanted to pimp up your Ambit, or display data in a new or novel way. You can, thanks to Suunto's unique Appzone. For example, you can download apps that will display your estimated finish time during a 10k or marathon – while your run. You can also see the calories you've burned displayed as units of beer or chocolate, or if you're a high altitude climber, there's an app to see the percentage of oxygen in the air. Amazingly, the apps are user generated. "There are currently about 10,000 features that people have created and shared, so it's a pretty wide range out there and we're pleasantly surprised by many of them," adds Kallio.
There are huge number of sport-specific groups users can join.
Plan your route
"We have a full scale tool for planning your routes," adds Kallio. Find the Route Planner under Map and start plotting using either Google map view or Mapbox. The maps can then be exported to your Ambit.

How to Turn Your iPhone On and Off
The Sleep/Wake button is what turns your iPhone on and off. Apple has taken the time to partially charge your iPhone at the factory, so when you buy it, you'll get some measure of instant gratification when you turn it on for the first time.
After taking your iPhone out of the box, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button at the top-right edge. The famous Apple logo should show up on your screen, followed a few seconds later by a stunning image of Earth.
To turn the device off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until a red arrow appears at the top of the screen. Then drag the arrow to the right with your finger. Tap Cancel if you want to change your mind.
While you can keep your iPhone turned on all the time, many people choose to turn off their iPhones off during times of indisposition, such as when they are sleeping, at work, out to dinner with friends, or in a movie theater. This saves your battery for the times when you do want to use your iPhone (and saves you from rude glances from other movie-going patrons if your phone starts to ring during a movie's climax).

Geron Discontinues GRN1005 and Restructures to Focus on Imetelstat Development in Hematologic Malignancies and Solid Tumors with Short Telomeres
Mon Dec 3, 2012 4:05pm EST
Company to Host Conference Call at 8:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday, December 4
MENLO PARK, Calif., December 3, 2012 - Geron Corporation (Nasdaq: GERN) today announced that the company has discontinued development of GRN1005, its peptide-drug conjugate designed to treat cancers in the brain. Going forward, the company will focus on the development of imetelstat, its telomerase inhibitor, in hematologic myeloid malignancies and in patients with solid tumors that have short telomeres. The company also announced a restructuring to reduce its workforce from 107 positions to 64 full-time positions, and to reduce its annual cash operating expenses from approximately $65 million in 2012 to approximately $33 million in 2013, which includes non-recurring costs of approximately $3 million associated with the restructuring and approximately $3 million for the discontinuation of clinical trials. The company expects to end 2012 with approximately $90 million in cash and investments.
Rationale for Discontinuing GRN1005
The decision to discontinue development of GRN1005 was made after the company completed a planned interim analysis for futility for GRABM-B, the company's Phase 2 study in patients with brain metastases arising from breast cancer. This analysis showed that there were no confirmed intra-cranial responses, as determined by an Independent Review Facility, among the first 30 evaluable patients in the trial. Data from the analysis will be presented in a poster at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium on December 6. In addition, the company is discontinuing GRABM-L, its Phase 2 study in patients with brain metastases arising from non-small cell lung cancer, because of the inability to successfully enroll the trial. Geron has provided to Angiochem, Inc. notice of termination of both the exclusive license agreement under which Geron received rights to GRN1005 and an associated research collaboration and option agreement.
"We are very disappointed that the results of the GRN1005 program fell short of our criteria for further development," said John A. Scarlett, M.D., Geron's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our immediate focus now is on the use of imetelstat in hematologic malignancies and solid tumors with short telomeres, which represent an opportunity for significant therapeutic advances and value creation."
Imetelstat Development in Hematologic Malignancies
Geron will be reporting the results of a phase 2 study of single agent imetelstat in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) in an oral presentation at the American Society of Hematology annual meeting on December 9. The ET study was designed to provide proof-of-concept for the potential use of imetelstat as a treatment for various hematologic myeloid malignancies, including myelofibrosis, myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myelogenous leukemias. JAK2 mutations are quantified during the trial to evaluate the effect of the drug on the malignant progenitor cells driving the disease. The top-line results from 14 patients enrolled in this study, all of whom were refractory to or intolerant of conventional therapies, showed a hematologic response rate of 100% (with 93% of patients achieving a complete response) and a molecular response rate of 86% among the seven patients who had a JAK2 mutation. These hematologic and molecular response rates, which exceeded the company's expectations, suggest a selective inhibition of the malignant progenitor cells responsible for the patients' malignancy, and therefore potential disease-modifying activity by imetelstat that may be applicable in other hematologic myeloid malignancies.
Based on these results, Dr. Ayalew Tefferi, M.D., at the Mayo Clinic has begun an investigator-sponsored pilot study to evaluate safety and efficacy of imetelstat in patients with myelofibrosis, a myeloproliferative neoplasm in the same spectrum of diseases as ET. For more information about this study, please refer to http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01731951. The company is in the initial planning stages of a Geron-sponsored Phase 3-enabling study in myelofibrosis, which will be informed, in part, by data from the Mayo Clinic study. In addition, Geron intends to expand its directed program of investigator-sponsored trials in 2013 to other hematologic myeloid indications, including acute myelogenous leukemias.
Imetelstat Development in Solid Tumors Associated with Short Telomeres
Published non-clinical data have demonstrated that tumor cells with short telomeres are more sensitive to telomerase inhibition with imetelstat than tumor cells with longer telomeres. To evaluate this hypothesis clinically, Geron included a pre-specified sub-group analysis of results by tumor telomere length in its randomized Phase 2 trial of imetelstat in non-small cell lung cancer. In September 2012, Geron reported that an unplanned interim safety and efficacy analysis of the data from that trial suggested a modest but not statistically significant trend in progression-free survival in favor of the imetelstat treatment arm in the overall study population (hazard ratio = 0.78). However, the pre-specified sub-group analysis suggested that imetelstat-treated patients whose tumors had short telomeres at baseline experienced a clinically meaningful, statistically significant increase in progression-free survival compared to patients in the control arm (n = 19; hazard ratio = 0.32; p = 0.042), which was not observed in imetelstat-treated patients whose tumors had medium-to-long telomeres (n = 38; hazard ratio = 0.83; p = 0.62). The company expects to present the data from the full sub-group analysis at a scientific conference in 2013. The company is working on a refined assay to prospectively measure telomere length in individual patient tumor samples, which would be required if Geron conducts a Phase 3-enabling clinical study of the effect of imetelstat in patients with solid tumors that have short telomeres.
Management Changes
In connection with the restructuring, Graham Cooper, the company's Chief Financial Officer, will be leaving the company to pursue other opportunities. Olivia Bloom, currently Vice President of Finance, Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer, will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer effective December 7.
In addition, Geron has appointed Craig C. Parker, as Senior Vice President, Corporate Development and as a member of the executive management team, effective immediately. Mr. Parker has over 25 years experience in the science and business of the biotechnology industry, and was most recently Senior Vice President, Strategy and Corporate Development at Human Genome Sciences, Inc., until its sale to Glaxo SmithKline in 2012.
"I sincerely thank Graham for his many contributions to Geron's programs, and wish him success in his future ventures," commented Dr. Scarlett. "I look forward to working with Olivia in her new role, for which she is highly qualified based on her many years of outstanding performance at the company, and I welcome Craig, whose extensive experience in business development and strategic analysis will complement our current team."
Conference Call
At 8:30 a.m. ET on December 4, 2012, Geron's management will host a conference call to discuss the strategic realignment of the company.
Participants can access the conference call via telephone by dialing 866-713-8565 (U.S.); 617-597-5324 (international). The passcode is 32236649. A live audio-only webcast is also available at http://edge.media-server.com/m/p/t9tr3r34/lan/en. The audio webcast of the conference call will be available for replay approximately one hour following the live broadcast for 30 days.

Politicians to be permanently sealed within giant Westminster Bubble
September 4, 2013
Plans to contain the entire Westminster village within a vast geodesic sphere are almost complete. The multi-million pound Odium Project aims to collect every variety of politician, lobbyist and political journalist and keep them in a safe, temperature controlled environment.
'We hope that by containing all the different types of political species we might be able to learn something new about how they operate,' said Project Director Dr Marcus Pennington. 'It will also keep them from interacting with the real world, which, as we know, can be disastrous.'
Within the bubble there will be two enclosures, or biomes. The topical biome will allow politicians to run around briefing, counter-briefing and making ill-informed comments about a hot topic in the news. Meanwhile, a second dome will give them something to claim expenses on.
The Odium Project is set to become a popular visitor attraction where the public can come and watch politicians operating in their natural environment. 'We encourage visitors to look at these strange creatures, but not to touch them or try to give them food,' explained Dr Pennington. 'They might appear cute but they easily get excited and things can quickly escalate into a full-scale feeding frenzy.'
Dr Pennington also revealed plans to cross-fertilise certain species of politician to create entirely new varieties. 'We currently have a very weak strain of Miliband that we are hoping to cross with a hardy perennial, the Dennis Skinner, to create a much more outspoken Leader of the Opposition with an endless supply of abusive comments.'
A more controversial scheme is the plan to create a new Tory hybrid, the Boris-Tebbit. The end result will be a politician that gets on its bike and looks for photo opportunities.
Meanwhile a conservation program will help save endangered species such as The Lesser Spotted Clegg, a rare two-faced chimera currently on the verge of extinction. However, so far, this proposal has seen a notable lack of funding.
The Westminster Bubble will be secured and vacuum sealed next month when all the air will be pumped out leaving the inhabitants to exist purely on the oxygen of publicity.

Sorry for the lack of posting today. I was busy reviewing my new Sony Reader over at The Bibliophilistines, showing off Fatshionista Tricia's wicked Suck It, Special K project at Shakesville, and then fucking around with Gimp all afternoon to make that goofy new header, which amuses the hell out of me but is still not going to be the final design. Getting closer, though.
Tomorrow will probably be light, too, as I'm off to Indy again. Yip. Pee.
Until I get back into posting obsessively, please enjoy Liss and Tigtog's takes on the kind of ad agency that thinks that woman up there is anything but smokin'. For fuck's sake.

Island Harp
This is a tale of the potato famine hitting the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland during the sheep clearances and the unbreakable spirit of a woman determined to preserve the people of her clan and their way of life. More historical than romance, it still gives you a haunting tale of a poor lass loving the lord of the manor when his life is bound to another. ...

I posted yesterday about a new idea I've had.
To post each Friday about my favourite thing for the week. I decided to call it Favourite Thing On A Friday. Punchy.
I also decided I'd love to see what other people have been enjoying and wanted to give people the option to join in. Thus was Favourite Thing On a Friday born.
You can read all about it by clicking HERE .
If you want to join in, link up by entering your blog name and URL address in the link tool at the bottom of this post, that way, a link to your blog will show up here letting people know you're joining in, so they can come and visit. Then write a blog post about your Favourite Thing On A Friday with a link back to Mimi and Tilly, letting your readers know what you're linking up with. There may be some teething problems with this as I've not done a link up like this before. (Who am I kidding? This might be a little bit of car-crash blogging happening right here, right now.) If there are problems, let me know and I'll sort them out as soon as I've figured out what in the David Dickenson I'm doing.
There's also a little blog button that I sat making until 2am this morning. When I get an idea...
If you'd like to, you're very welcome to put this button in your sidebar with a link back to this post letting people know they can join in with Favourite Thing On A Friday.
So here goes....
Favourite Thing On A Friday
My glass pendant from the royal palace in Monaco. Which I thought I'd lost.
I bought this pendant years ago from a jeweller's situated in the grounds of the royal palace in Monaco. I know that sounds a little bit weird but it's true. At the top of the hill in Monaco, the royal palace is surrounded by little cobbled streets that have a range of different boutiques along them. I managed to sniff out the jeweller's at twenty paces (being able to do that is a skill I'm very proud of) and went inside and found this pendant. When my significant other (Steve) and I went round Ireland with friends, I wore it every day. This pendant and I have been places together. Cannes, Dublin, Sligo, Dingle Bay to say hello to Fungie the dolphin, London, Liverpool, a hot tub in a field. I was so sad when I couldn't find it.
I found this beauty again this week having not been able to lay my hands on it for a good few months.
Oh happy day!
I sat in the garden and gave it a good buff up with my polishing cloth. The sun shone all over it making the colours glisten.
It reminded me of these...
Jewellery and Jelly Tots.
My Favourite Thing On A Friday.
What's yours?
