BY Ben Glick and David Chan
It has become increasingly clear that eukaryotic cells have highly dynamic organelles. The four exciting sessions in the 2012 annual meeting's organelle dynamics theme will highlight state-of-the-art approaches aimed at understanding how the dynamic behavior of organelles is linked to their functions. These sessions will focus on mitochondrial dynamics, organelle quality control, the organization of the secretory pathway and endomembrane system dynamics.
Mitochondrial dynamics
The first session will feature the mitochondrion as an organelle whose dynamic properties are central for its function. Jodi Nunnari (University of California, Davis) will discuss how the fusion and fission of mitochondria are regulated. Her group has developed in vitro assays that allow for the identification of regulatory factors.
David Chan (California Institute of Technology) is examining how the dynamic behavior of mitochondria regulates their function. Dysfunction of mitochondrial dynamics is associated with neurodegenerative disease. His group has developed mouse models to investigate the link between mitochondrial dynamics and cell physiology.
Hiromi Sesaki (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine) will discuss the molecular mechanisms and physiological functions of mitochondrial fusion and fission.
Organelle quality control
The second session will focus on how cells ensure organellar integrity. Tamotsu Yoshimori (Osaka University) will discuss the longstanding debate concerning the origin of autophagosomes, which are unique, ad hoc organelles that form transiently. Recent results indicate the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria are involved in autophagosome biogenesis. Yoshimori also will describe how autophagosomes form to combat intracellular bacteria.
Thomas Langer (University of Cologne) is exploring how mitochondrial proteases control mitochondrial dynamics. The processing and stability of the dynamin-like GTPase OPA1 is emerging as a central mechanism to monitor mitochondrial integrity. Using yeast and mice as model systems, Langer's group examines the relevance of stress-induced degradation of OPA1 for mitochondrial quality control and neuronal survival.
Finally, Gia Voeltz (University of Colorado-Boulder) will describe the mechanisms that regulate the three-dimensional structure of the endoplasmic reticulum. Her talk will focus on how three main factors – membrane shaping proteins, cytoskeletal dynamics and interactions with other organelles – work together to distribute the endoplasmic reticulum throughout the cytoplasm and generate the complexity of ER functional domains.
Organization of the secretory pathway
The third session will focus on how compartments of the secretory pathway are generated and maintained. Ben Glick (University of Chicago) will describe how the ER export domains known as transitional ER sites are established within the rough ER. Transitional ER sites are defined by a dynamic balance between growth and export-mediated shrinkage. His group is studying how a protein called Sec16 controls tER dynamics by regulating ER export.
Nava Segev (University of Illinois at Chicago) studies molecular switches and cascades regulating protein traffic in yeast. She focuses on the roles and interactions of small GTPases of the conserved Ypt/Rab family, which regulates multiple steps of transport in the secretory and endocytic pathways. Her group is investigating how various Ypt/Rab GTPases cooperate to specify compartment identity and turnover.
Adam Linstedt (Carnegie Mellon University) studies the mammalian secretory pathway with an emphasis on the Golgi apparatus. His work includes structure-function studies of tethering proteins, which have multiple roles in the capture of transport vesicles and the establishment of Golgi structure.
Endomembrane system dynamics
The fourth session will focus on how compartments of the secretory and endocytic pathways communicate and change over time. Christian Ungermann (University of Osnabrück in Germany) studies membrane dynamics of endosomes and lysosomes (or vacuoles in yeast). He will describe how Rab GTPases work together with large tethering complexes to regulate membrane fusion and endosome maturation.
Jon Audhya (University of Wisconsin, Madison) will describe the development of C. elegans as a model system to study how membrane trafficking and organelle dynamics are modulated during development, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. His lab studies the ESCRT complex, which promotes membrane fission reactions at late endosomes and other cellular locations.
Catherine Rabouille (Hubrecht Institute) will describe how her group has developed Drosophila as a powerful model system for studying the cell biology of the secretory pathway. Her work includes studies of ER export and Golgi organization as well as unconventional secretion mechanisms that bypass the traditional secretory pathway.

Happy Talk is a weird song for a start off. It's clear the matchmaking lady by the rock pool isn't doing this purely for unselfish reasons, but the musical as a whole is underpinned by colonialism and as usual makes Asian characters speak and act like retarded five year-olds. I've never liked it, despite my penchant for the genre, and this song is to me a low point of Rodgers and Hammerstein's writing prowess.
Now fast forward to 1982:
Captain Sensible (aka Ray Burns) was at one time the leading light of the Damned, as I'm sure you all know. Among a group of larger than life punks, he stood out as the most flamboyant. He loved to taunt and insult his audience just to get a reaction, viz. the celebrated line, "I love you people, you're the nicest bunch of people in the whole wide world. Except that man there, you are the ugliest cunt I have ever laid eyes upon." Small wonder that the front four rows at a Damned gig would be composed entirely of slapheads screaming, "Sensible is a wanker!"
Then it all changed. In the early 80s, after visiting Crass (those post-hippy anarchists with a taste for really rubbishy songs, it has to be said), he was suddenly pacifist, vegetarian (which makes the sight of him singing around a dead seagull on a pole in the above clip rather odd) and releasing This Is Your Captain Speaking on Crass' own label.
Bad enough, you might think. Yet worse, much worse, was to come. He signed a deal with A&M, recorded Happy Talk, backed by those Peel faves the Dolly Mixtures, and suddenly he was top of the UK charts for two weeks, a housewives' favourite, and his original band kicked his arse out the door (only for him to rejoin 11 years later).
What were his motives, you might ask? It would be charitable to see it as a kind of post-modern irony, juxtaposing
the Elysian make-believe of the musical with the harsh reality of the Cold War and the Falklands. But no: he claims he found it in his parents' record collection and it was done "for a laugh" (or to fill up available space on his LP, depending on which site you read), and averred that it kept him from being a toilet cleaner. Certainly, someone who has had the experience of the police banging on his door wishing to repossess his house might just want a little something to pay the bills.
Notwithstanding, the biggest surprise of the lot was that this cringe-making exercise was considered good enough even to have a shot at the Festive Fifty (obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be writing about it in the first place). It made #59 in the 1982 yearly chart, thus meaning that John didn't have to play it, But who were the misguided souls that even dreamed for a second that it was worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as the Clash, the Cure and the Cocteau Twins, who were the real stars of the year? I think we should be told.
Captain Sensible, Happy Talk
In case all the above has irretrievably depressed you, allow me to furnish you with a gentle reminder of exactly what the Captain really was capable of: four slices of heavenly power pop with a side project that presumably the Damned did approve of, King, and their only Peel session, recorded on my 15th birthday. In case the organ line in Baby Sign Here With Me is naggingly familiar, it became the classic I Just Can't Be Happy Today.

Brief Overview of JSP Architecture
JSPs are delivered to a container that provides services like life-cycle management and runtime support. A JSP gets translated to a servlet class which is instantiated at runtime. A request headed for a particular JSP will be directed by the container to its corresponding servlet class (aka jsp implementation object). It then handles requests and generates responses. The default request response objects are HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse. JSP makes use of implicit objects that can be considered taint sources, sinks and propagators. I won't discuss further details since that is outside the scope of this project. For further information try this reference guide.
JSP In Light of Security
There's not much to say here except that JSPs can act as both a model and view. It can operate fairly well without a distinct service or business layer because it doesn't quite enforce separation of logic and concerns (hence the advent of development frameworks).
I won't discuss details of web app design here, but one should understand that lack of separation can have negative effects on web-app stability and security. But even so, lack of input validation can lead to easy security vulns in JSP, namely XSS.
Commonly, JavaBeans are used in conjunction with JSP to store parameters and implement business logic. Most of my examples will use beans to demonstrate taint propagation and proper cleansing.
For more data on design with JSP and servlets, see this best practices article
JSP Standard Actions
<jsp:usebean> <jsp:setProperty>
<jsp:getProperty> <jsp:include>
JSP Implicit Objects
There are a handful of objects made available in JSPs which are susceptible to security flaws. Their corresponding java class functions are used as is in scriptlets. All the same security rules should apply.
|Implicit Object
|Java Class
|Relevant Functions
| getParameter(String parametername)
| setAttribute()
getAttribute() removeAttribute()
| print(char[] s)
print(java.lang.String s)
println(java.lang.String x)
println(char[] x)
<% String name = request.getParameter("username"); session.setAttribute("taintedAttribute", name); %>
my xss varible: <%=session.getAttribute("taintedAttribute", name)%>

Once we had warmed up and I was standing in line, listening to Sambassadeur on my ipod and talking to people about my "6 Months Pregnant Shirt" the world was an exciting place with nothing to be afraid of.
I started out really fast and felt good. But about 2k into the race, my thighs started to burn like I have never experienced. I thought I might have to walk. Somehow my pride kept me going. And then the pain of the full bladder took over. But the race was wide open with no bushes to hide in along side of the road. I considered peeing my pants. But thought that might be my pregnancy-induced dementia talking again so I snuck off behind a gas station, where I'm sure I was seen peeing by a good 50 runners. It is quite sad to not be able to get through a measly 5k without having to stop and pee. Yes, I did pee immediately before the start. Anyway, the 20 second stop behind a wooden crate rejuvenated my legs, too. I was able to finish strong without agony.
I got right around my projected time with 24:30. That was actually 6th for my age group, which I was happy about in such a big race. A good 2 1/2 to 3 minutes slower than my pre-pregnancy pace, but I'm okay with that.
After I crossed the finish line, my stomach was killing me and I was sure I would puke. I looked up and tons of people were looking at me with concern (I'm sure since they saw the shirt). I collected myself and walked off with a smile to find SR.
On my way off the course, a bunch of people came up to me to congratulate me. One guy asked me if I had seen the recent articles about running in pregnancy in the New York Times. I told him my friends (that's you, readers of this blog) had sent me the articles.
I spotted SR and he eventually said he got 3rd. Which I thought was amazing in such a big race, but he seemed disappointed with his time. I guess he just wouldn't be himself if he didn't always push himself to the limit. He did get some nice socks and and a glass with turkeys on it.
As we were waiting for the awards, many people came up to talk with me, the most notable being a 43 year old woman who had run in the Olympic trials a number of years back. She said she had run all the way through her pregnancy 12 years ago. She ran the day before she went into labor, but said the morning she went into labor she "only" rode her bike. I detected a kindred spirit, or at least possible support for my "crazy" theories about pregnancy and exercise. Anyway, she only gained 12 lbs during her pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy 7 1/2 lb baby, who is now a normal 12 year old girl. She said with clear pride, "I got home from the hospital and put on my old pants and they were too small!!!"
I told her it was great to hear that someone had exercised, not gained much weight and gave birth to a normal baby. She said, "I had a great obstetrician and my husband is an ER doctor, so I wasn't too worried." Then I told her I was a doctor in town as was SR, to which she replied "Why would you worry? You obviously know what you're doing."
Well, who wouldn't worry when the world around us is so overly protective of pregnant women? My dear mother agonizes daily about the bouncing from my running "pushing the baby out early."
And it's not like I don't care. I didn't sleep well the past two nights thinking "I haven't eaten enough fish lately. I hope the baby doesn't come early from that." I've even gotten to thinking that the baby is so used to the exercise now that if I let up something will go wrong. So we all probably have a little voodoo in our beliefs about pregnancy simply because it's something that we care about so much.
And speaking of fish (and something non-voodoo), there was a large study which showed that women on the Faroe Islands and Denmark who eat higher amounts of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids have pregnancies that last 5-6 days longer than those who eat less. And there is a dose-response relationship. That may not seem like much, but when you consider that most women do go to term, eating fish appears to have saved a significant number of women from premature birth. But anything in excess is risky: in Iceland, the women who consume the highest amount of fish have the smallest babies. And another study from Denmark showed that the highest consumers of fish oil had no protection from premature birth, but those with moderate consumption had longer gestation on average than those who consumed very little fish oil.
I will need to add more pics once our computer is working again. I'm at the hospital now :).

The Buzz
Working out when to work out
When you're a triathlete there's always one more workout. Besides your three main sports, you really need a yoga session for flexibility and balance. And how about core work? If you're over 35, you should probably be doing strength training year-round -- plus agility is important, too. It's impossible to avoid doing two or three types of workouts in a row, leading to questions about what order will maximize efficacy. Now, a Western Colorado University study sponsored by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) specifically tested workout order, with definitive results. On days when you are training cardio always do it first, followed by your strength workout. Flexibility, balance and agility finish out your training block. The reason for the sequencing is that strength, flexibility and agility training is not significantly affected by workout order. In contrast, cardio exertion increased significantly, up an average of 12 BPM for the same workout. This has the potential to throw a monkey wrench into the day's planned training session. Cedric Bryant, Ph.D., ACE's chief science officer, does include one caveat. "The order determined by this research stems from purely physiological findings," cautions Bryant, rather than athlete priorities. If you are working towards a very specific goal, such as rehabbing a back injury, you should do your physical therapy exercises before beginning anything else, when you're most alert and ready to work.

"I own the expo!"
January is resolution month, and Triathlon Magazine Canada is keeping it real with 10 inspiring New Year's resolutions for triathletes. Some of our favorites: mix it up by increasing (or decreasing!) your normal distance, and enter a destination race. And their resolution to hit morning masters swim practice instead of hitting the snooze button? We can relate.
Dr. Mitchell Greene, a clinical and sport psychologist writing about athlete mental health for Team USA, contributes to the resolution discussion with 10 sarcastic tips for triathletes. We liked #2, "Mentally tough triathletes show up first to the expo and are the last to leave. Here's a helpful mantra: 'I own the expo!'" Dr. Green suggests "making a New Year's resolution to lighten up where you can, and find others to share a laugh with."

The New York Jets made it official Wednesday: Wide receiver Santonio Holmes has been placed on injured reserve with a foot injury and will be out for the season. (Though he should be back next year.)
Kim Jones: Jets in complete disarray
Watch: Jets postgame presser
Report: Injured Holmes out this week
Ryan still supportive of Sanchez
Watch: Time to make a QB switch?
Rosenthal: Tebow not the answer
Check out NFL.com's Tebow Zone
"It's a big loss for us," Jets coach Rex Ryan said. "Obviously it's something that we wish didn't happen to one of your best players. But that's, unfortunately, part of this business."
Holmes suffered a Lisfranc injury to his left foot shortly after making a catch in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 34-0 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Ryan said the injury will require surgery and that Holmes is expected to make a full recovery.
The Jets signed Jason Hill to replace Holmes, but there is no replacing Holmes. For all the headaches that Holmes brought, he was the only player on the Jets' offense who worried opposing defenses.
You don't need to scheme to stop wide receivers Jeremy Kerley and Chaz Schilens. Tight end Dustin Keller is a good tight end, not a great one. He's not a No. 1 option, and he's not healthy. Quarterback Mark Sanchez has shown he's not the type of player to lift those around him. Tim Tebow remains lurking and could wind up playing eventually if owner Woody Johnson pushes for it. The team's running game lacks a difference maker; the Jets are 30th in the league in yards per carry.
"The fact that we lost two excellent football players does not change our expectations," Ryan said, admitting that this will test the Jets' resolve.
Perhaps it doesn't change Ryan's expectations, but it does change ours. We saw New York as a flawed team that still had the defensive talent to make a run to the playoffs. Eight wins or more would be a masterful coaching job by Ryan.
"How many people will feel sorry for the New York Jets?" Ryan asked. "I've got the answer ... nobody."
UPDATE: Holmes thanked fans via Twitter for their support.
Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.
Thanks for the love, prayers, and support from friends and fans. Time heals all wounds.â Santonio Holmes (@santonio10) October 3, 2012

It seems like every few weeks a phony report emerges of a big-name player breaking both legs in a car accident.
As best we can tell, it started last year with Falcons receiver Julio Jones. Other high-profile NFL stars who supposedly broke both legs in a car accident include Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.
The gag has become so obvious that we now ignore the made-up accounts. But we're mentioning it again now because the most recent supposed victim of the Buick-double-leg-break is Packers linebacker Clay Matthews. And we've been flooded with emails and tweets inquiring about the situation.
It's phony. And, in time, a phony report regarding the same topic will be made about another NFL player. And another. And another.
The sad part is that, if/when a big-name NFL players actually does break both legs in a car accident, no one will believe it.

When Auburn coach Gene Chizik made the short trek to Valley High School in Chambers County this spring, Rams coach Mike McCombs wasn't surprised that folks at the school got a little starry-eyed.
And that was just the teachers.
"The kids went nuts," said McCombs. "But it was funny to watch how our faculty reacted to it."
Chizik, Alabama's Nick Saban and a parade of other SEC coaches have ventured to one of the few towns in the state in the Eastern time zone to see a player honored here in the Press-Register's Elite 18 as the top prospect in Alabama -- Erique Florence.
A 6-foot-2, 181-pound safety who has clocked a 4.47-second 40-yard dash, Florence is a hard-hitting safety who also excels as a kick returner, bringing three punts back for touchdowns before opposing kickers started avoiding him.
"It's just pure, God-given ability," McCombs said of Florence, who will also play quarterback for the Rams this year. "He has been blessed with a lot of speed. He's a natural football player, a throwback in that he's a big hitter. He loves the contact aspect of the game."
Just behind Florence on the list of the state's top college football prospects are two of the four players who have committed to defending national champion Alabama -- Vigor receiver Marvin Shinn and Russellville linebacker Brent Calloway.
Like Florence, both are versatile, naturally gifted athletes, although Vigor coach Kerry Stevenson said Shinn also has a great mind for the game.
"Instead of looking at (the game) from a player's perspective, he looks at it as if he was a coach," Stevenson said. "There's just something special about him. ... He can beat you with his speed, he can beat you with his quickness and he can beat you with his length. He has the ability to make all those plays."
The other Alabama commitments are LeFlore receiver Danny Woodson Jr. and Gadsden City receiver Daryl Collins.
Four others on the list have committed to Auburn: Spanish Fort center Reese Dismukes, Davidson defensive lineman Jabrian Niles, Sweet Water linebacker Chris Landrum and Gadsden City safety Anthony Swain.
The list includes seven players from Mobile and Baldwin counties and five receivers in a deep year for wide-outs. Nine of the 18 have announced their commitments, with B.C. Rain defensive end Devaunte Sigler expected to announce his choice between Auburn and Ole Miss within the next month.
For a state that has seen an explosion of five-star talent in the past few years, the overall depth of the 2011 class is somewhat lacking. Just over half the list has offers from both Alabama and Auburn and four players listed here among the best in the state hold offers from neither.
But former Williamson High and Tennessee quarterback Tee Martin, who now recruits the Mobile area for Kentucky, said that picture is incomplete. He expects a slew of players who aren't currently swimming in offers to pick up more by the end of the season this fall, particularly in Mobile.
"I have a lot of guys I've got my eyes on," Martin said. "Some guys are changing positions, some guys are first-year starters. In the SEC, you can't really miss a lot, so you really wait to have a lot of your questions answered. I think you're going to see a lot of late offers."

Judges in the Lockerbie trial have ordered an urgent inquiry into translation facilities after complaints from the two Libyan defendants, reported the BBC.online Friday.
Defense lawyers were quoted as saying that poor translation meant the two defendants did not fully understand the proceedings at the Scottish Court in the Netherlands.
After retiring to consider a motion, the presiding judge, Lord Sutherland, said the two suspects would be given verbatim Arabic transcripts of the proceedings since the trial began on May 3rd, the BBC added.
The men's legal teams had told the court their clients said they were receiving an "interpretation" of proceedings and not an exact account.
Although not referred to in court, the argument hinged on Article 6 of the European Convention of Human Rights, which states that the accused has: "The right to be informed promptly, in a language the accused understands, in detail of the charges."
Defense counsel, Richard Keen, told the court "an accused is entitled to understand the evidence that is being provided by the Crown in a case against him. "Interpretation has to be practical and effective. The interpretation here seems to have been far from that," the BBC said.
Keen said the men, who are accused of causing the deaths of 270 people when a Pan Am jet exploded over the Scottish town of Lockerbie in 1988, were entitled to a verbatim translation.
However, under the translators' contract they were instead receiving an "interpretation" of witnesses' statements, added the BBC.
On Thursday, the court heard evidence from two members of the United States Central Intelligence Agency.
The men, their identities disguised, described how they had found electronic timers similar to that allegedly used in the Lockerbie bombing on two men detained in Senegal 10 months before the Lockerbie bombing, the BBC said.
According to the indictment, the defendants ordered 60 of the timers in 1985 and late 1988. However, the defense has suggested that US authorities attempted to frame the defendants, according to the BBC - Albawba.com

It's been nine years since EC&M first started tracking the financial and business performance results of the top players in the electrical design field. During this stretch, the market has certainly experienced some highs and lows — as all of you can attest to. This got me thinking. How had the overall performance of this powerful group of players tracked during this turbulent time frame? I started my review by going back and taking note of the overall design services revenue total for all 40 firms each and every year. The results were quite interesting. In 2006, this figure peaked at $20.4 billion. The following year, 2007, this total hit rock bottom, coming in at $13.7 billion. However, almost every other year this total hovered around the $18.5 billion mark. The only outlier in this group was reported in this year's Top 40 cover story, starting on page 18, which revealed a total of $16.9 billion for the group's performance in 2010. However, this total would most likely have been right around the $18 billion mark too if one of our long-term key players had continued to support our research and completed its survey. This absence clearly dropped our total down by about $1 billion.
On the business side of the equation, diversification and expansion has been the core focus for these power players over the past nine years. When key U.S. markets started to tank in the early to mid 2000s, many firms were forced to shift their focus to new market segments or seek out overseas opportunities. Some did this on their own while others formed strategic partnerships with already established design firms. A few followed a "growth through acquisition" strategy in an effort to gain an immediate presence in new market segments. Other growth strategies emerged in the way in which projects are delivered. Design/build projects took hold around 2005, giving owners a single point of responsibility for the design and construction of their projects. This strategy also allows electrical design firms to gain a seat at the owner's table early on in the project, allowing them to offer design-saving tips prior to the start of construction and helping them form key business and personal relationships with owners and general contractors. The popularity of this project delivery method, which has taken hold in many public and private sectors, shows no sign of letting up.
My review of past Top 40 reports also revealed the importance of keeping pace with technology. On the engineering design front, our top 40 players relied on 3D CAD software to gain traction. This quickly led to the emergence of building information modeling software, which is now in demand by many owners and general contractors.
So what does the future hold for the top players in the electrical design field? A focus on sustainable energy systems and the use of energy-efficient building products (i.e., "green building") appears to be more than a passing fad. So does the integration of renewable power supply systems in many new buildings and facilities. The only way for these firms to maintain their elite ranking is retain, train, and grow new engineering talent at all levels of their organization.
Speaking of rankings, I'd like to wrap this review up by letting you know that we'll be tweaking our top engineering firm's listing next year. It's always been our goal with this report to rank the firms in our annual listing by electrical design revenue only. In fact, we've published a secondary listing of these rankings for quite a few years now, featuring approximately 25 of the 40 firms. Based on these reporting results, we now feel it's a good time to refine our original listing and present only the Top 25 Design Firms ranked by revenue related to electrical design work only. So if you think your firm ranks as one of the elite electrical design groups in the country, then pass a note along to your management team and encourage them to participate in our 2012 survey and report.

The AP/San Francisco Chronicle examines Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers' efforts to create an automated network to monitor animals in an effort to predict disease outbreaks because two out of every three human diseases "originated in animals." Tony Beugelsdijk, group leader for chemical diagnostics and engineering at the lab, and his team have created a "$1.75 million genome sequencing machine" to monitor animal diseases. The machine can do genome sequencing about 100 times faster than anything being done manually today, according to Beugelsdijk. This type of surveillance could one day help public health officials "determine what's coming at us next," Beugelsdijk said, adding "Do we have vaccines for them? Do we have drugs for them? When is it likely to jump species?"
AP/San Francisco Chronicle writes, "Numerous diseases have jumped from animals to humans — anthrax, hemorrhaggic fevers, West Nile virus, smallpox, malaria, tuberculosis," adding that "[r]esearchers expect the rate to increase." The machine is in early stages of development, but researchers would like the system to be duplicated elsewhere and then tested on different pathogens, such as TB. According to Beugelsdijk, when developed, systems could operate around the clock for public health laboratories, agriculture and defense agencies as well as the CDC (Holmes, 8/6).
In related news, PBS' Newshour examines fears that peoples' proximity to wild birds in Cambodia could result in an outbreak of avian influenza. Though avian flu is "common but harmless in ducks," it is "deadly when it does make the cross-species leap to humans. Two-thirds of the 400 people who've contracted bird flu have died," according to the Newshour. "Cambodia has seen just eight human cases since 2005. Almost all had very close contact with infected chickens. So far, the virus has not spread from human to human," the Newshour reports.
The show includes interviews with an official from the WHO, a scientist and a person from the Wildlife Conservation Society (De Sam Lazaro, 8/4).

It's been almost a couple of months since my last post, and I find myself thinking of data again.
Earlier this month, the Gates Foundation released its cumulative findings on its 3-year Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) research project. They recommend a balanced approach which included observations and student perception surveys in addition to achievement test scores. If you look at the data in the report, much can be gleaned, yet it's easy to see that effective teaching is a very complex thing to measure.
Also in the local news this week, teachers from a two different Seattle Public Schools, for various reasons, have stated they are going to boycott the district standardized test known as the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP).
There are many reasons standardized tests cause anxiety among students, teachers, parents, and school leaders. Often they are used as sorting mechanisms (admissions into schools, teaching effectiveness, and putting students on a certain track are just a few examples). Yet, if one approaches the data from these assessments with more purpose (to set new goals, to inform ones teaching, provide meaningful feedback, or guide learning), these measures can be useful.
Data today is abundant, but is it the right data? How data is collected, analyzed, and interpreted; how reliable it is; and what we do with it can make all the difference. Though the Gates Foundation and those Seattle Public School teachers are doing it differently, I'm glad there are many out there asking these questions.

Oxford Film Festival receives Mississippi Arts Commission grant/
The Oxford Film Festival has been awarded a $3800 grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission (MAC). This grant is a portion of the $1.27 million in grants the Commission will award in 2013-14 and will be used in the production of the 11th annual festival, scheduled for February 6-9, 2014. The grants are made possible by continued funding from the Mississippi State Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
"The creative economy has never been more vibrant than it is today in the communities across Mississippi," stated Sallye Killebrew, Interim Director at MAC. "This agency is honored to play a small role in assisting these organizations to continue their work of reinforcing the value of arts and the role they play in creative place-making and economic development."
The Oxford Film Festival is a 501c3 non-profit organization, which serves the city of Oxford in Lafayette County in addition to neighboring Yalobusha and Panola counties, with outreach to the entire state. The annual festival attracts attendees from around the region including Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia and Texas. The organizational structure includes six full-time volunteer staff, several part-time volunteer staff and about 100 volunteers during the festival weekend in February. With no current sustaining funding, the festival must reach out for funds to support each year's festival from a combination of grants and donations from both individuals and corporations.

I had originally intended to include this in the Leftovers, but it's just too priceless to not get its own post. Philadelphia Will Do dug up this clip on You Tube of some of Barry Switzer's and John Madden's finest work.
Setting the scene: The Cowboys and Eagles are tied at 17 with 2:00 to play in the game. The Cowboys have the ball, 4th and 1 at their own 29-yard-line. Easy call, right? You punt, pin the Eagles back, take your chances in overtime.
Not Barry Switzer.
He opts to jam it in to the left side of the line for a loss of one. But through some shady officiating, the Cowboys get a chance to undo their mistake. Barry Switzer will hear none of that crazy talk. He does the exact same thing. And when I say the exact same thing, he not only makes the same absurd decision again, he runs the exact same play. And it goes for the exact same result.
The highlight of the clip is how incredulous John Madden is at how dumb Barry Switzer is. If you think Madden's too easy on the players and coaches in the NFL, here's a chance to re-shape your opinion.

If, for any reason, an entrant's entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, entrant's sole remedy is another entry in the Sweepstakes, provided that, if it is not possible to award another entry due to discontinuance of the Sweepstakes, or any part of it, for any reason, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among all eligible entries received up to the date of discontinuance for any or all of the Prizes offered herein. In such event, Sponsor shall only hold a special drawing if potential entrant can prove, from a valid, written phone company record, that a call was made to the ThisTV phone number on the date of claimed entry. No more than the stated number of Prizes will be awarded. In the event that production, technical, seeding, programming or any other reasons cause more than the stated number of Prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be available and/or claimed, Sponsor reserves the right to award only the stated number of Prizes by a random drawing among all legitimate, un-awarded, eligible Prize claims.
11. Disputes. Entrant agrees that: (1) any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Sweepstakes, or any Prizes awarded, shall be governed by the laws of the state of New York, (without regard to the conflict of law provisions thereof) and resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") for final and binding arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules to be held in New York, New York, before a single arbitrator who shall be a retired judge, in accordance with New York Civil Practice Law & Rules Section 7501 et seq. The arbitration shall be a confidential proceeding, closed to the general public.
