Publishing Your Work: Strategies for Moving Forward
We often hear talk of the pressure to publish. That characterization of this vital aspect of your career does not acknowledge that we are drawn to our work by curiosity about the world and find great satisfaction from completing a research project and seeing the work published. Nevertheless, a laundry list of obstacles, which include a myriad of other 'urgent' obligations, limited time to devote to writing, feelings that your work is inadequate or incomplete, and negative reviewer responses, can add frustration to writing and contribute to the pressure mentioned above. In this document, we address several practical strategies for preparing manuscripts and seeing them through the review process.

Support Your Writing
- Be aware of your writing rituals and make them work for you.
- Read and study quality manuscripts in your field regularly. There is nothing like an enlightened description of a well executed study to inspire your inner author.
- Learn strategies for the writing process, such as this summary of Three Phases of Writing for Publication, from a Tomorrow's Professor posting.
Just Write
- Set aside a regular time without interruptions for writing. The more you write, the easier it is to write.
- "Many scholars believe that writing requires big blocks of time. They're wrong. Research shows that scholars who write daily publish far more than those who write in big blocks of time. The problem with big blocks of time is that they're hard to find. In contrast, when you write daily, you start writing immediately because you remember what you were writing about the day before. This leads to impressive production. In one study participants who wrote daily wrote only twice as many hours as those who wrote occasionally in big blocks of time but wrote or revised ten times as many pages (Boice 2000:144)." (Tomorrow's Professor Posting #661)
"Publishable articles tell something new about something old. The "new" idea doesn't have to be an original idea, but it should bring new knowledge to the topic. Writing an abstract will help solidify your argument and provide a guide as you work through your revisions. (Belcher, W.L. (2009)" (Tomorrow's Professor Msg.#1107)
- "Many scholars believe that writing requires big blocks of time. They're wrong. Research shows that scholars who write daily publish far more than those who write in big blocks of time. The problem with big blocks of time is that they're hard to find. In contrast, when you write daily, you start writing immediately because you remember what you were writing about the day before. This leads to impressive production. In one study participants who wrote daily wrote only twice as many hours as those who wrote occasionally in big blocks of time but wrote or revised ten times as many pages (Boice 2000:144)." (Tomorrow's Professor Posting #661)
- Refuse frustration and 'defeatist' attitudes.
- Sometimes, despite your best efforts, your writing time will be usurped. If you don't write today, don't let that snowball grow! Make an appointment with yourself for tomorrow and KEEP it.
"An Internet search of educational Web sites using the keywords "writer's block" produced over fifty-two thousand entries. All writers at one time or another become blocked. Over half of all doctoral candidates end up ABD (all but dissertation) largely because of writer's block (Flaherty, 2004)." (Tomorrow's Professor Msg.#1128)
- Sometimes, despite your best efforts, your writing time will be usurped. If you don't write today, don't let that snowball grow! Make an appointment with yourself for tomorrow and KEEP it.
- Record time spent writing and report your progress regularly.
- "To write daily you will need to keep a daily record of your writing, and share those records with someone weekly. What difference does keeping records make? Robert Boice led a series of workshops for scholars who sought to improve their writing productivity. Boice stressed the importance of writing daily, keeping a record of the minutes spent on writing, and being accountable to someone weekly. Participants were divided into three groups: (a) The first group ("controls") did not change their writing habits, and continued to write occasionally in big blocks of time; in 1 year they wrote an average of 17 pages; (b) the second group wrote daily and kept a daily record; they averaged 64 pages; (c) the third group wrote daily, kept a daily record, and held themselves accountable to someone weekly; this group's average was 157 pages (Boice 1989:609). Without records and someone to share them with it is too easy to convince yourself that you will write 'tomorrow.' But 'tomorrow' never comes-or at least it doesn't come very often." (Tomorrow's Professor Posting #661)
- Consider forming a 'writing club' - like a book club but you have to read the book!
- Prioritize writing (read more from "Pay Yourself First," a post from Tomorrow's Professor.
- Start writing as you collect and analyze data. Writing can help you to identify coherence or lack of coherence in a set of observations, and it can help you enumerate a framework for inferences. Write from the first day of your project-as soon as you have a research idea-and keep writing throughout the project. Don't finish the research first; research as you write, and write as you research. Not all writing must be formal and polished. Some writing is done simply to generate thought and to keep a record of ideas, however crude, so they can be reviewed and revised later. The roughest draft can be valuable precisely because it can be saved, reviewed, and revised. Physicist Dallin Durfee (Brigham Young University) explains how writing this way improved his research and saved time:
"I've begun to write about my physics experiments while they are still in progress, allowing me to see weaknesses in our experiments and realize what data will be most useful in making cohesive arguments early on, before research time has been wasted on unfruitful ideas."
Organize It
- Make use of larger blocks of time to cut the project into manageable pieces. You can do this in outline form, if you prefer.
- Post key 'data' where they are easy to view and write to them.
- Organize around key sentences.
- "Readers expect nonfiction to have one point per paragraph. The point of the paragraph should be contained in a key or topic sentence, located early in the paragraph and supported by the rest of the paragraph. A key sentence is to a paragraph like a street sign is to a street: it helps the reader to navigate by showing what is to come. A key sentence announces the topic of the paragraph (Williams 1990:97-105). It must be broad enough to 'cover' everything in the paragraph but not so broad that it raises issues that are not addressed in the paragraph. To test this idea, ask yourself the (key) question: 'Is the rest of the paragraph about the idea in the key sentence?' The key sentence should announce the topic without trying to prove the point-the rest of the paragraph serves that function. It should include the key words; that is, if the paragraph is about Napoleon, then 'Napoleon' (rather than 'he') should be the subject of it!" (Tomorrow's Professor Posting #661)
- Write, and then continually revise and update and outline. If you (or your students) are bogging down, dissect the document.
Re-outline the troubled section by identifying the key sentence or idea of each paragraph. This also provides a good means of focusing attention on dysfunctional paragraphs - e.g. those for which it is difficult to identify one key idea! Such a dissecting process can reveal locations where the outline presents leaps in logic or where ideas do not flow. Reorganize as needed. You can even use Microsoft Word heading 'style' formats for your identified key sentences, then generate a table of contents; Word 'instantly' creates your extant outline.
"To examine the organization of your writing, list the key sentences -- and headings -- to see an after-the-fact outline. Now, read the list and question yourself about the purpose and organization of the writing." (Booth, Colomb and Williams 2003:213, 188)
Preparing Manuscripts
- Write with a specific journal or other outlet in mind.
- Separate observations from inferences.
- Reviewers are more likely to recommend your work for 'revision and resubmission' or 'publication after major/minor revision' instead of outright 'rejection' if they recognize that the manuscript contains significant new data. Editors rely upon those recommendations to make their judgments, but make their own assessments on similar criteria.
- Use standard writing conventions.
- It is imperative to write simply and clearly when introducing and explaining complex ideas. It is better to limit the work you ask each sentence to do than to write long, complex sentences that extend for several lines of typescript. Readers prefer sentences in which they can easily identify the subjects and predicates. You risk 'losing' your reader when subjects and predicates appear in unusual positions in the sentence. Adding long and flowery introductory clauses to your sentences or placing one or more modifying clauses between the subject and predicate of the sentence is more likely to confuse than impress the reader (Gopen and Swann, 1990).
- Write to convince an imagined adversarial reader; try to anticipate and answer their criticisms.
- The Introduction and Discussion sections are key elements in successful articles.
- Use the Introduction to situate your approach, data, or analysis. Use the Discussion to explain fully the relevance of your approach, data, or analysis and results.
- Write concisely and clearly; respect your reader's time.
- Simon Peyton Jones, from Microsoft Research, has some excellent advice on this topic in his presentation, How to Write a Great Research Paper.
- Make sure that your figures, images, and tables convey information critical to moving your argument forward.
- Write a cover letter to accompany your submission in which you situate your argument within the field and highlight your conclusions.
- The letter probably should not exceed two pages, but it should be long enough to help the editor see the relevance of your work and to aid them in choosing appropriate reviewers for it.
Common Pitfalls and Strategies for Avoiding Them
- Problem: The manuscript does not fit the content or style of the journal to which the author has submitted it.
- Solution: Select a journal that is appropriate for the work you intend to report. Then read and adhere to the Guidelines for Authors.
- Problems: There are logical flaws or rhetorical leaps in the text. Critical arguments appear too late in the text, or figures are cited out of order. New observations, data, or interpretations appear in the Summary or Conclusion sections.
- Solution: Let the manuscript sit for a while (a few days to a few weeks) before your final edit for content. In this way, you can often recognize problems in organization, logical flaws, rhetorical leaps, mixing of observations and inference, etc. that were not apparent during the initial writing or as you cut and pasted together portions of the manuscript.
- Problem: There are annoying problems such as missing figures, incorrectly cited references, figures not cited, spelling errors, etc. Some reviewers are naturally curmudgeonly, but many others only become curmudgeons as they work through a manuscript.
- Solution: Check for conformity between text and figures, and make sure that you check spelling after the final edit.
- Problem: There are so many citations that the manuscript reads like a dissertation or masters thesis discussing the literature.
- Solution: Be generous in citing other work, but stick to the critical references.
Knowing When Your Manuscript is Ready
- Aim for substantive contributions, not the smallest publishable units.
- No work is flawless; no manuscript is perfect.
- Holding yourself to a standard of perfection will ensure that your work is never ready for submission. Furthermore, it is of value to remember that good research leads to new questions. Therefore, no one manuscript should seek to answer all researchable questions.
- Apprehension about rejection is not generally a legitimate reason not to submit the work.
- Remember that if you don't take the risk of submitting, you won't have the satisfaction of publishing. Your job is to write a quality article, to the best of your abilities, and send it to the journal. It is the function of the editorial process and the very real people involved in it to decide if it is ready to publish. Publishing is a process, not an event.
- Your work is at a stage appropriate for publication when
- You have gotten good feedback on an oral presentation at a professional meeting or other forum.
- You have direct corroboration or contradiction of an important result in your field.
- You have significant new data or a significant new interpretation to report.
- Given that these are admittedly subjective criteria, ask an advisor or a colleague to read your written work and use their feedback to help you to assess the status of your work (see next section).
Seek Feedback at Critical Junctures
- Feedback can come from an expert in your field. However, don't forget about non-expert successful professional colleagues.
- In general, professional colleagues are capable of providing useful feedback whether or not they are from within your discipline. Furthermore, good hearted senior colleagues will do their best to provide comments to help you improve your work. Be aware of the time commitment for which you are asking and how busy they are by requesting focused feedback and preparing quality materials for review. In addition, you may find that if you ask for response to a 'quick read', you will get very helpful feedback rather quickly. Remember to use words such as 'I value your input and particularly seek your thoughts on xxx aspect of this work.' Provide a reasonable deadline (e.g. 2 weeks) as part of the context of your request, i.e. would it be possible for you to spend about 20 minutes on the introduction and send me your feedback during the next week or two? Also, remember the adage, 'if you don't want the answer, don't ask the question.' Sometimes critical feedback is hard to take or to understand. (See next section.)
Make the Most of Reviews
Substantive reviews mean that the reviewer was interested enough in your work to spend time on it. That is a precious resource!
- Remember that nearly everyone has had one or more of their submissions rejected.
It is the manuscript (not you and not necessarily the work) that has been rejected. The writing, the science, or both may not meet the standards of the journal. You can only understand the problem by carefully reading and interpreting the reviews. Perseverance can pay dividends.
- Profit from criticism (read more from the Tomorrow's Professor posting Riding Out Rejection).
- Remember the story of the Vine-Matthews(-Morley) hypothesis.
- Read reviewer's comments with an open mind and 'learn how to listen'
If necessary, take a few days or engage in constructive venting of your frustrations to calm down before you do this. Remember, when it comes to clarity, the reader is always right.
"Clarity is a social matter, not something to be decided unilaterally by the writer. The reader, like the consumer, is sovereign. If the reader thinks something you write is unclear, then it is, by definition. Quit arguing."(McCloskey 2000:12).
Often, readers do not express their concerns clearly. This can result either from your lack of clarity or their limited knowledge of the topic - assume that both contributed to some level. Give each reviewer a familiar personality and have a dialog with that person. Get to the bottom of their concern and respond to that concern.
The paper is usually read by several reviewers. Don't expect reviewers -- or other readers -- to make identical comments. It's tempting to conclude, when reviewers don't make the same suggestions, that they disagree. When researchers examined scholarly reviews, they found that reviewers gave good [specific] advice and did not contradict each other (Fiske and Fogg 1990:591-597). Generally, one reader will criticize the literature review, another will find fault with the methods, and yet another will take umbrage with the findings. If you make changes in response to each of these reviewers, you will improve the paper and reduce the chance that other readers will find fault with the manuscript. Think of each specific concern as a hole in your rhetorical "dam": the more holes you plug, the better your argument will "hold water."
- Revise carefully, thoughtfully, and thoroughly.
- Take reviewer's and editor's comments into account in revising, but remember that you need not make every change requested by the reviewers or the editor. However, you must
- Respond to each criticism.
- When returning a manuscript, write a well organized (and polite!) cover letter that details the changes that you have made:
- Explain what changes (requested or not) you have made and why.
- Explain what requested changes you have not made and why you have not made them.
- When returning a manuscript, write a well organized (and polite!) cover letter that details the changes that you have made:
Communication is the Key
- Strive to communicate as clearly as possible in your writing - keep the exposition simple.
- Use your cover letter to facilitate communication with the editor.
- In submitting a revised manuscript, you have an opportunity to answer criticisms and therefore communicate with the reviewers. Although your letter is written to the editor, it may be shared with reviewers in a 're-review' process.

Are you surprised? I'm not surprised. I don't think anyone is surprised. Pokémon is one of the more popular franchises on Kotaku, too, especially in recent days since the release of X and Y.
The full list of "most reblogged" video game topics on Tumblr this year is pretty interesting. (And if you don't know, reblogging essentially means Tumblr users sharing someone else's post onto their own page. Here's our Tumblr page, if you're curious.)
Animal Crossing, also not surprisingly, comes in second. It's followed by Kingdom Hearts, Legend of Zelda and Mass Effect.
It's not so much a gauge of the best games so much as the games with the most storied backgrounds, with the biggest fan bases and a long shelf life. Take Team Fortress 2. That game came out six years ago but people still play the hell out of it. And a game like Portal has so many memes and lovable characters that I don't think it'll ever get bumped off the Tumblr Most Blogged lists over the years.
But the year is really not over yet, so if you feel like tipping the favor over to Transformers: Fall of Cybertron you better get to drawing pictures and coming up with jokes for your Tumblr page.

Features and benefits
FNL flanged housings have the following features and benefits:
Simple mounting
To simplify mounting and make alignment more accurate, lines cast into the housing flange indicate the centre of the housing bore. Dimples indicate the position for dowel pins (fig. 1).
Grease guiding system
An integrated flange guides grease from the grease fitting into the bearing (fig. 2).
Low friction seals
A low friction, double-lip seal on each side of the housing keeps grease in and contaminants out (fig. 3). These seals allow rotational speeds twice that of traditional felt seals.
Drilled holes for relubrication
FNL housings have two predrilled holes for relubrication. One is centered and enables relubrication via a lubrication feature in the bearing. The other is offset and enables relubrication from the side.

Listen to Ollie recall the sights and smells of a childhood visit to the Museum.More about Childhood
Preserving shark specimens was a routine part of Ollie's first job at the Museum, so collaborating with Damien Hirst on preserving the artist's iconic tiger shark artwork gave him an entirely new perspective on his own work, revealing novel methods for preserving specimens for display. Ollie's knowledge of display is put to use in numerous exhibitions.
Ollie has also collaborated with Speedo on a hydrodynamic swimsuit, using sharkskin to reduce drag while in the water. The project brought together expertise from the scientific, artistic and commercial world.
Ollie Crimmen joined the Museum in 1973 aged 19. He is responsible for preserving of one of the most important fish collections in the world.

We often like to imagine that, if cats could talk, they would treat us with dismissive disdain, but what if, behind all those glares, lay the heart of a depressed feline existentialist? Henri, the existential cat, outlines his despair in the only way he knows how: via a black and white French movie, complete with subtitles. "Immortalized on the wall. Forgotten on the floor." Chin up, little guy. You've been immortalized on YouTube as well.

Traps, Hidden Doors, and Keystones
Traps, Hidden Doors, and Keystones[edit]
All right, the next room we're going to make is the room to the left from the perspective of entering the Octagon. I zone it so it's an even number of spaces in width… it's actually relevant, believe it or not. Then, I go to Buy Mode > Debug Sort > Tomb Objects tab > Trap – Floor object. I stick only one of them on the ground, as well as a treasure box on the other side…
We'll deal with the treasure box in a bit. For now, it's time to set the properties of the traps. I want to intimidate the explorer a bit, so I want the traps to always be on, unable to be disarmed, and be shooting electricity. I do a CSC, then "Set Trap Type… > Electricity." Another CSC, then "Set Trap State… > Firing and Visible." All traps default to being unable to be disarmed, so that option is fine.
Finally, I do another CSC, then select "Clone." This copies the object including its settings (which the eyedropper tool doesn't do). I set one to the left, and another to the right. So now, the room's width is blocked by these dangerous, unstoppable traps with a tantalizing treasure chest on the other side.
Okay, now if the trap is always firing, how do we let the player get past it? Let's make a switch in a different room for that… but we should make the other room so easy to get to. I zone off another room adjacent to this one, then go into Build Mode and grab the "Secret Rotating Door." I place that on the adjoining wall…
We simply do a CSC and select "Enable Auto-Open After Inspect." Another CSC, and we select "Turn Auto Shut On." Now, the door will be invisible until the player selects "Inspect" at the wall and discovers the door there. At that point, the door will open by itself. Once the player walks through, the door will shut on them but not lock. In order to get out, the player will need to order the Sim to shove the door open. We could add also add a trigger here so the player would need a certain Athletic Skill level to open it, but we want to make this tomb noob-friendly and leave the Athletic Skill minimum set to -1.
Anyway, in this sub room, I grab fences and draw a little maze. Can't make this too easy, can I? I set up a couple treasure boxes that each produce 1 item of Egypt Tomb Loot – Medium, which is easy stuff. Next, under our favorite Buy Mode > Debug Sort > Tomb Objects tab, we pick the Small Hole – Wall object. I stick it against the wall in the center at the far end of the room.
I can stick a treasure in it, but that's not the point here. I do a CSC and select "Link Triggers… > Hidden Switch," then go back to the previous room. I CSC my trap, and select "Link Activated Behavior… > Destroy." I have to make this link with all three traps, but all three are controlled by the same switch. Mousing over the switch afterwards shows three pink lines, indicating it has at least one link to each of the traps.
Excellent! Now to the treasure chest… except I screwed something up. Okay, my plan is to make a special keystone here that can only be used in this tomb. You can set treasure chests to spawn ordinary keystones, but not special ones. So, I delete my treasure chest, then buy an end table to stick in its place instead. I go back to the Tomb Objects tab, then select the keystone object and place it on the pedestal. I CSC the keystone, then select "Set Shape…" followed by "Named…"
Unfortunately, you cannot set your own name for the keystone; you have to use the names that are given by Electronic Arts. These special keys can of course be used in their special tombs, so a bit of an imaginative leap needs to be made here. Because we're in Egypt, I can name the keys after tombs from China or France without too much damage. I call this one "Keystone of the Insect." Make sure you remember the name, as it's important to the end of the quest.
All right, that's all for now. Let's go back to the Octagon.

WASHINGTON (CIRCA) - Rush NWMSUPD? Police officers at a Missouri university are giving sorority girls a run for their money with their viral "big/lil" reveal photos.
The Northwest Missouri State University Police Department tweeted photos of this year's "family reveal," parodying sorority "big sister/little sister" day. Sororities hold this event after every recruitment season, during which they pair an older member with a younger one.
Last year, the "family" went viral with its first "big/lil" reveal. This year, the department has done it again by adding a "grand-little" to the team.
People on Twitter love the follow-up post and are glad to see the family is growing.

Piccola suite Op. 18 per clarinetto solo: Preludio, Allemanda, Sarabanda e Giga. It was written in 1999. I revised and edited this week. Thank you for listening.
I'm looking for some sheet music for a talent show in my school if anyone could make some songs?? We had an idea of Don't Stop Believin', Or Livin' on a Prayer with..
1 piano
2 violins
2 violas
2 cellos
2 bass (strings)
If anyone could help with this that would be amazing
Bass Guitar
French Horn
I jus got into JackSepticEye's hit song, All The Way, and I can not find any alto saxophone sheet musics for it. Does anyone have the time, effort or knowledge of making this song into sheet? It is a big ask, but I think It would be really fun!
Up until this arrangement, I've only ever arranged for a capella and general choral settings, but I fell in love with the intro to "2009" and just had to arrange it. Please give me feedback and enjoy!
I'm looking for simple (but not dumb!) arrangements for a group of traditional players of all ages and a range of skills. We are mostly a fiddle group, with 10 -12 fiddles, a couple of banjos, a piano and 1-2 guitars. We range in age from 10 to 85! I've been combing the internet and I've found a couple of things right here in musescore that look more interesting than the standard fare. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone.
This is my first full Mozart arrangement. I plan to do multiple more(maybe even all 18 Mozart sonatas). But this is his Piano Sonata in C minor. All 3 movements are there. Here is the link if you want to listen to it:
I found it perfectly fit for a trio, so I arranged it for a string trio. As for the triple and quadruple stops in the rondo. I put in arpeggio signs and then immediately made them invisible. So it will look like chords, but it will sound arpeggiated, which is the way a violinist would actually play a triple or quadruple stop.
Violinists, Cellists, Violists, I need your feedback. Did I write anything that is impossible? If so, what is it? I need to know so that I can improve this already great arrangement.
Don't be nervous. Join the group now. I see you sitting there, just planning on checking this group out and moving along. That's what you're doing, right? Well, I got news for you, pal! Well, ok... not like I'm going to stop you from doing that, but if your interest lies with this group, even if you aren't planning on arranging anything, joining won't hurt, right? Getting free notifications for viola gaming music isn't ever a bad thing, right? RIGHT? If you are considering putting your own arrangements in the group, however, please do so! Even if you just have some scores sitting around in your My Scores menu, just gathering dust as the occasional violist passes by, putting them here won't hurt you.
(This is not, and I repeat, NOT some lame excuse for me to get more game-related viola music for myself specifically)***
***(This may be some lame excuse for me to get more game-related viola music for myself specifically)
Any Viola Music is Better than No Viola Music.
Flutes r da best
This piece is written to memorise my university days (almost exactly 10 years ago I was enrolled), in which I used half a theme from the university anthem.
The half finished status made me stressed, and influenced my lab works and my thesis writing. Thus, I just used all my spare time to finish it ASAP.
I am not very satisfied with connection between different parts, especially that between parts D2-D3-E. Ideas are welcomed, and I will try to modify it when I recovered from the current mood.
spam (cuz y not?)
Original piece. Feedback needed. Thanks!
ima stop for now, practicing trombone

Plastic surgery technique restores breast sensation
Women who had mastectomies and reconstruction liked the looks but lacked tactile feeling - until now
Women who undergo a mastectomy and then breast reconstruction surgery typically lose most sensation across their chest, but a new technique being studied in Houston shows promise for restoring feeling.
The technique, developed by a Houston Methodist Hospital's plastic surgeon after a former patient was burned when she didn't realize that the water that spilled on her chest was steaming hot, could make routine the return of what is usually lost after the removal of breasts due to cancer or the threat of cancer.
"A lot of reconstruction patients comment that their breasts look great but lack sensation," says Dr. Aldona Spiegel, developer of the technique and director of Methodist's Center for Breast Restoration. "In fact, there's an option for women unhappy about that loss."
Spiegel says she hopes the research she's conducting provides evidence of the technique's effectiveness and helps put it "on the map." She has now used the technique, with much anecdotal success, in more than 200 breast reconstruction surgeries. She described it in a 2009 plastic surgery journal article.
An estimated 110,000 women a year opt to have a mastectomy, surgery to remove the entire breast (as opposed to a lumpectomy, where only part of the breast is removed).
Most mastectomies follow a diagnosis of invasive breast cancer, but an increasing number are done for preventive reasons - typically that the woman carries the genetic mutation that increases her chances of developing the disease.
Breast reconstruction has come a long way since the 1970s, when the only option for women who'd had a mastectomy was an external prosthesis, an artificial breast worn in the bra.
Today, women can choose between breast reconstruction using either implants (saline or silicone) or their own tissue taken from elsewhere in the body, usually the abdomen.
The majority of women choose implants - as much as 80 percent, according to some surveys - probably partly because many places don't offer microsurgery, which is necessary for tissue-based reconstruction. Spiegel says that the breakdown is closer to 50-50 if women are offered both alternatives.
There is no method to regain sensation if a woman has implant-only reconstruction.
Restoring sensation hasn't been a priority of breast reconstruction, even though patients link it to improved quality of life, according to Spiegel.
There were past attempts to regenerate a nerve microsurgeons considered a good candidate, but the difficulty accessing it and prolonged surgical time made the effort hard to justify.
Challenged by her former patient's burning episode, Spiegel began working with a nerve more conveniently located. In what only prolongs the surgery 15 minutes, she got positive results connecting the nerve around the same location where doctors microsurgically attach blood vessels.
"Women report a return in sensation as a result of this technique," says Spiegel. "Not to pre-mastectomy levels, but they do feel sensation in the reconstructed breast again."
In an attempt to quantify the benefit, Spiegel enlisted a device that measures the amount of pressure that must be applied to the breast before the patient feels something.
The device found that those who received the new technique required about 28 percent less pressure to feel a sensation in their chest than those who got the standard method.
Spiegel also noted as evidence of the technique's effectiveness that patients getting it need anesthesia for the nipple areola tattooing that marks the finishing touch to breast reconstruction.
Under the standard method, patients' lack of sensation renders anesthesia unnecessary.
Among Spiegel's grateful customers is Karen Holt, the second patient on whom Spiegel employed the new technique. She noticed sensation in her reconstructed breast two months after the surgery, when her oncologist's pressure on Holt's breast hurt.
"It seems like a miracle to me," says Holt, 61, a retired school administrator. "I can't see or feel a difference in my two breasts. It's a gift; it makes you feel like a whole woman again."
Spiegel warns that not everyone has such results - in most cases, it takes six to eight months for sensation to return, she says, and it's usually not the same as it was before. She also says the restoration of sensation isn't important to lots of women.
But she calls the new method very exciting for those women for whom it is important and says she hopes her study popularizes it.
The study is scheduled to be published this fall.

Students who run afoul of the police may gain new protections under an agreement between the San Francisco Police Department and San Francisco Unified School District up for vote at tomorrow's Board of Education meeting.
The new agreement explicitly calls for parents to be notified when their children are taken into the custody of police, or are questioned as a victim or a witness. The agreement also introduces graduated steps that increase the burden on school administrators and the police to exhaust all other options before arresting a student.
"What we're outlining in this policy is that the school system has the first responsibility to ensure discipline and safety, but we don't want to overreact or push students toward the criminal justice system unless it's absolutely necessary," Board of Education Commissioner Matt Haney told the Guardian.
Under the current rules, police officers have been known to discipline kindergartners in San Francisco public schools at the behest of school administrators.
The Guardian touched on this issue briefly in our coverage of suspension reform ("Suspending Judgement," Vol. 48, Issue 10, Dec. 4):
"He was five years old, and as kindergartners sometimes do, he threw a temper tantrum. In the school's desperation to contain him, officials called the SFPD.
'The police only came one time,' Desamuel, now seven, told the Guardian. Sitting in his San Francisco home with his uncle Lionel, Desamuel sounded ashamed. 'But I didn't go to jail because they only put kids in jail for being bad, like kids taking guns to school.'
(Desamuel's uncle and guardian) Lionel struggled with the school's administration, and asked them to try less punitive ways of handling his nephew. 'I told them to just hug the boy. Their response was 'it's hard to hug someone swinging at you.'"
But it wasn't just that the police were called in to handle his five year old nephew that set off Desamuel's uncle and guardian, Lionel Hill. It was that they were brought in without his knowledge.
If the new agreement passes a vote by the board, parents and guardians will be in the disciplinary process with police from the beginning. The disciplinary process itself may change too.
Before the police can bring students into the juvenile justice system, the new rules would allow them a series of graduated offenses. A first offense would bring an official warning notice, a second offense allows the officer to recommend the student into a diversion program, and only on the third offense can an officer bring that student to juvenile probation.
Since 2009, over 50 students aged 12 or younger have been arrested at school, according to SFPD data compiled by Huckleberry Youth Services.
United Educators of San Francisco President Dennis Kelley praised the potential for better communication among all involved. "You don't want things going on with kids that are isolated from the parents," he told us. "I think having coordination between the board, parents, and police is a positive step."
Coleman Advocates, an education and social justice group in San Francisco, was a driving force behind the new changes.
"We're putting the responsibility for student behavior back where it belongs, with educators, students, and parents, not with police," said Karn Saetang, director of Student Organizing at Coleman Advocates. "When police get involved in school discipline, it sends all the wrong messages to students and makes it more likely they will fall behind, fail to graduate, or get involved in the juvenile justice system."
These changes come on the heels of new disciplinary reforms tasking the SFUSD with implementing new "restorative practice" interventions in lieu of suspensions, ending zero tolerance discipline that is falling out of favor nationally, according to a recent editorial by the New York Times.
It looks like better days are ahead for students in the SFUSD.

GSA Secures Funding for San Ysidro Land Port of Entry Project
January 22, 2014
SAN DIEGO – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced that the agency has received federal funding to continue expansion of the San Ysidro Land Port of Entry, the busiest land port of entry in the Western Hemisphere. With the passage of the Fiscal Year 2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act, GSA will invest $226 million on the next phase of the San Ysidro construction. This next phase will realign and expand a portion of the Interstate 5 South freeway which will connect to Mexico's inspection station El Chaparral. This will also ease traffic in the area and help the Department of Homeland Security continue to fulfill its mission.
Key Facts:
- Busiest Land Port of Entry in Western Hemisphere
- 50,000 northbound vehicles processed each day
- 25,000 northbound pedestrians cross each day
- Critical economic engine for San Diego - Tijuana region
Project Overview:
- The San Ysidro Land Port of Entry is undergoing a complete reconfiguration and expansion project to better accommodate the growth in traffic and to meet the needs of our tenant agencies and the general public.
- GSA has embarked on a three-phase project to improve traffic flow, safety and security at the port, and will realign and expand Interstate Highway 5 to the Mexican inspection facility El Chaparral.
- At the project's conclusion (Phases 1-3), the new Port of Entry will have 62 primary inspection booths for privately owned vehicles and a dedicated bus lane.
- It will also serve as a model of the "Port of the Future," through its innovative use of sustainable materials, water and energy saving fixtures which will help reduce the port's carbon footprint.
U. S. Senator Barbara Boxer weighs in: "I am so pleased that Chairwoman Mikulski and Ranking Member Shelby included this vital funding, which I have sought for years, to help renovate the busiest border crossing in the western hemisphere. These critical improvements will create jobs, speed the flow of commerce and improve border security."
GSA Administrator Dan Tangherlini comments: "This funding will increase efficiency, create economic growth, and improve safety and security for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. These are critical investments in infrastructure that will create significant savings by preventing costly emergency repairs in the future and build upon our progress."
GSA Pacific Rim Regional Administrator Ruth Cox says: "GSA is making great progress on the San Ysidro modernization and expansion project to date, having completed the pedestrian bridge, southbound pedestrian crossing, and 46 of the 63 planned northbound inspection booths. This $226 million funding will allow us to construct a new southbound approach to Mexico's El Chaparral Port of Entry, thus freeing up land to construct an additional 17 northbound inspection booths. Completion of Phase 3 will enhance both the north and southbound border crossing experience for over 100K travelers entering and leaving the United States at San Ysidro each day."

Drago Josipovic is a Bosnian Croat who came back to live in his home village of Ahmici after serving eight years of a twelve year jail sentence handed down in The Hague by the International War Crimes Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
Josipovic, a former chemical factory worker and resident of Ahmici-Santici, was found guilty of crimes against humanity by the ICTY in January 2000. The court found that while serving in the regular Bosnian Croatian army (HVO-BiH) Josipovic took part in the Ahmici massacre. On 16 April 1993, a surprise attack on the village killed 116 Bosniaks , including 32 women and 11 children.
Drago Josipovic was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for his part in the killing of fellow resident Musafer Puscul and the burning of the Puscul family home.
Drago Josipovic at ICTY - Drago Josipovic in Ahmici's Catholic cemetery
Josipovic has always denied that he committed war crimes. He maintains that he tried to help Muslim friends that day.
His appeal was rejected by the ICTY, though his sentence was reduced to 12 years. After his release in February 2006, Josipovic moved back to his house in Ahmici-Santici. He has never had a problem with any of the villagers since, although some of them refuse to speak to him.
"When I came, there were some 2,000 - 3,000 people waiting for me who knew that I had been innocent, that I was in prison for nothing."
Many Bosniaks in the village think that Josipovic is innocent. A neighbour testified that Drago Josipovic had actually saved her husband's life, and that he had taken her and her husband to another house to receive shelter for a night. Local café owner Mehmed Ahmic, joined by a few friends, collected signatures supporting Drago Josipovic's claim of innocence. In total 27 Ahmici residents have signed a petition supporting a motion for a review of Josipovic's case. This petition was rejected by ICTY in 2004, however.
Josipovic says the Bosnian Croat Military Police, which has been identified by the ICTY as the military formation chiefly responsible for carrying out the massacre, should be held responsible.
"In my view it was the Croat military police. And they are the only ones who can say who gave the order…"
International ICTY war crimes investigators have hard tried to pinpoint who was responsible. However, it has been difficult to determine what exactly happened, and to establish beyond reasonable doubt the identity of perpetrators, most of whom were wearing masks during the killing.
Josipovic's conviction was based on the statements of a single witness, underlining the difficulty of establishing the facts after such a horrific event. The sentence handed to Vlatko Kupreskic, another Bosnian Croat from Ahmici who has returned to the village – his was another case involving a single witness – was later overturned by the ICTY's appeals chamber.

Theatre Sets Summer Production
Silverstein was a multi-faced artist - a cartoonist, playwright, poet, performer, recording artist and Grammy-winning, Oscar-nominated songwriter - with popular successes in all of those areas. He died in 1999.
He drew his first cartoons for the adult readers of Pacific Stars and Stripes when he was a G.I. in Japan and Korea in the 1950s and would also go on to draw cartoons for magazines such as Look, Sports Illustrated and Playboy. He also learned to play the guitar and to write songs, a talent that would later produce such hits as "A Boy Named Sue" for Johnny Cash and "The Cover of the Rolling Stone" for Dr. Hook. He was nominated for an Academy Award in 1991 for the song, "I'm Checking Out," written for the 1990 Mike Nichols film, "Postcards from the Edge."
Silverstein was also a best-selling author of children's books, including "Falling Up," "The Missing Place," "Where the Sidewalk Ends," "A Light in the Attic" and most enduring of all, "The Giving Tree." In 1984, he won a Grammy Award for Best Children's Album for "Where the Sidewalk Ends."
However, this show will introduce the audience to the darkly comic world of Silverstein, according to Joy Pace, coordinator of McNeese theatre. "This is truly an adult evening with no one under 17 admitted." Childcare will be available.
"Silverstein wrote a collection of short sketches," said Pace. " The audience will be introduced to 10 imaginative plays that range widely in content, but the style is unmistakable."
Cast members include Levi Arens, Shamberly Edgerton, William Lormand, Patrick Kelly. Lindsey Mainer, Charles McNeely, Monica Mere, Jesse Merrill, Chuck Morris, Pace, Chris Reeves, Jonathon Richards, Wesley Saucier, Jessa Theriot and Kaamilya William.
The show is directed by Theriot, with assistant directors, Lormand and Gabriel Brown. Stage manager is Kevin Delaney and light designer is Norman McKnight. Technical director is Edgerton.
Ticket prices are $10 for adults, and $5 for McNeese faculty/staff and senior citizens, and free for McNeese students' with a current ID. Tickets can be purchased at the door. For more information, call (337) 475-5042.
Persons requesting accommodations in accordance with the ADA should contact the Office of the ADA Coordinator at least 72 hours before the event.

Because the number of influenza cases has significantly increased throughout the region, children age 12 and under may not visit patients effective Wednesday, January 8. This applies to all Wake Forest Baptist inpatient locations and will remain in effect until the number of flu cases decreases significantly.Learn More.
Regular well-child doctor exams are essential to keeping kids healthy and up-to-date with immunizations against many serious diseases.
A checkup also is a chance for you to talk with the doctor about developmental and safety issues and to ask any questions you have about your child's overall health.
At a typical well-child visit, your child will be weighed and measured and these results will be plotted on growth charts for weight, height, and body mass index (BMI). Using these charts, doctors can see how kids are growing compared with other kids the same age and gender. The doctor will take a family and medical history and perform a complete physical examination.
Your child may be screened for anemia, lead poisoning, tuberculosis, high cholesterol, or other specific conditions. The doctor also will ask about your child's eating habits.
At this age, most kids should have had these recommended immunizations:
Your child should also get the flu vaccine every year, ideally before flu season begins. Kids who are at high risk for developing meningococcal disease, a serious infection that can lead to bacterial meningitis, might need the meningococcal vaccine.
The doctor will make sure all immunizations are up-to-date and check developmental progress.
Questions will be asked about your child's behavior and specific developmental milestones. Doctors also give a screening test to help identify developmental delays and autism at the 24- or 30-month visit.
Child safety is another topic doctors discuss at well-child visits. The doctor will reinforce the importance of using car seats, closely supervising kids around swimming pools, preventing poisoning, not smoking around kids, and using sunscreen. In homes with guns, weapons and ammunition should be stored separately and kept locked at all times.
Certain symptoms warrant a call to your doctor, as they may indicate a possible infection or a chronic medical condition. These include:
On average, young children have 6 to 8 colds a year and may have several bouts of diarrhea and vomiting. Ear infections are also common.
Sleep difficulties and behavior or discipline concerns are very common at this age and are a frequent source of questions for parents — as well as frustration. Your doctor is a great resource and can offer guidance.

Finding may explain anti-cancer activity of thiazole antibiotics
University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine researchers have discovered how some recently approved drugs act against cancer cells. The finding may lead to a more effectively targeted anti-cancer strategy.
In a new study reported in the journal PLoS ONE online, UIC researchers show how a class of drugs inhibits a protein called FoxM1 and suggest that the drugs' ability to inhibit FoxM1 may account for their anti-cancer activity.
FoxM1 is one of the most highly over-produced proteins in cancer cells and is believed to play an important role is causing cells to become cancerous. Because production of the protein is not usually switched on in non-dividing cells, the protein may present a promising target for anti-cancer treatments.
Andrei Gartel, UIC associate professor of molecular genetics, and his colleagues had previously shown that antibiotics called thiazoles kill cancer cells and inhibit FoxM1. When they went on to investigate whether the antibiotics attacked other proteins involved in cancer, they got a surprising result.
"We found that these thiazole antibiotics actually stabilized other cancer-causing proteins," Gartel said.
It was an unexpected hint suggesting that thiazole antibiotics may act as inhibitors of the proteasome, a molecular complex that acts as a trash collector in cells, degrading old proteins that the cell has marked for destruction. This inhibition of the proteasome was confirmed in later experiments, Gartel said.
Recently, a number of proteasome inhibitors have shown promise against cancer, but no one understands why they have anti-cancer effects.
"We decided to see if these proteasome inhibitors, including Velcade, were, like our antibiotics, targeting FoxM1," he said.
The researchers found that the proteasome inhibitors did inhibit FoxM1 and that they also caused cells to self-destruct in the same concentrations.
It's possible, Gartel suggested, that by using thiazole antibiotics in combination with well-known proteasome inhibitors, "we may see a synergy that allows us to markedly reduce the dose of any one of these drugs and still effectively kill the cancer cells."

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (Thursday, February 28, 2013) – The Colorado Rapids have acquired Danny Mwanga, a 21-year-old forward and the first overall SuperDraft pick in 2010, in a trade with the Portland Timbers. In exchange, Colorado sends its first round 2015 SuperDraft pick to Portland.
"Danny is a young, exciting forward who has proven his ability to make an impact in MLS," said Rapids Technical Director Paul Bravo. "He will be a good fit for our system and we're looking forward to welcoming him into our squad."
Mwanga joined MLS as the first overall selection in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft by the Philadelphia Union, where he scored seven goals with four assists in his first season and was a finalist for MLS Rookie of the Year. He played 24 games in 2010 and 28 in 2011, scoring five goals and adding four assists in his second year. In 2012, a midseason trade sent the forward to the Timbers, where he notched three goals in 18 appearances (seven starts). In his MLS career, Mwanga has 15 goals and nine assists in 79 games (42 starts).
Originally from Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mwanga moved to Portland in 2006, starring for his high school before playing at Oregon State University. In his two collegiate seasons, Mwanga scored 18 goals and added two assists in 29 matches, being named Pac-10 Freshman of the Year in 2009 and Pac-10 Player of the Year in 2010. After his sophomore season, he was named a second team All-American and a finalist for the Hermann Trophy.
The Rapids start the 2013 season this Saturday, March 2, visiting FC Dallas at 6:30 p.m. MT with a live broadcast on Altitude. Colorado plays its home opener on Saturday, March 9 against the Philadelphia Union, kicking off at 4:00 p.m. MT at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. For more information, or to purchase tickets, visit www.ColoradoRapids.com or call 303-825-GOAL.

Memorial Day 2010
It's that time of year again. And while Americans all over the land rush to the beaches and parks to "celebrate" by eating barbecue and potato salad, others wait anxiously for news of those deployed; visit graveyards, lay wreaths; weep for those who never came home; or wonder why they lost their home, spouse, job, sometimes every anchor that holds them in place in society.
I never understood the "celebrate" aspect of Memorial Day. There is nothing to celebrate in the deaths of men and women, mostly young, of any race, nationality, ethnicity, skin colour, or religion. Rather, it is my sincere hope that all of you enjoying yourselves today will pause for a minute and contemplate this. Or simply bow your heads and think of the young boys and girls we have sent to so many places to be hurt and killed to make our oligarchic owners a little richer.
Today we at this blog bow our heads and think of Louis Rochat (Rocket, to members of the 1/9 Cav), who fought his last fight on Saturday. Rocket risked his life to save his fellow troopers. He lost part of a leg, the vision in one eye, and two fingers for them.
There's plenty of stories among troopers of the 9th Cav, that elite group of helicopter pilots who flew missions in VietNam. Most of them portray Rocket, fairly accurately, as an ornery SOB with courage and class, and a willingness to lay down his life for his fellow troopers. He was just a lad when he arrived in VN, and a wreck when he left, leaving behind pieces of himself. In his own words:
I was twenty years old and just married when I left for Vietnam, and I couldn't wait to get there. I didn't even think about the feelings of my folks or my new wife. . . . She watched a twenty-year-old, six-foot, 175-pound Army warrant officer gunship pilot, full of piss and vinegar and a will to live life to its fullest, leave for a place she had heard nothing but bad things about. She got back a 102-pound, dark hollow-eyed, morphine and Demerol dependent, shrapnel and nine times gunshot-wounded, nine-month and two-day Vietnam veteran, who barely knew where he was, much less that he was facing two years in the hospital and thirteen surgeries.Despite his injuries and the horrors he had seen, Lou pulled himself together and went on to make a long and happy life with his doubtless-horrified young wife. And he took his time to say all his goodbyes when, wrecked by the horrors of that war, his body failed him. He found a new vocation and a voice as a writer, with passion reverberating in his stories. Here is his wonderful description of the sacrifice one of his fellow Troopers made for him.
Louis Rochat, you were a class act. You made the world a better place and showed how to live and how to die. Rest in peace, trooper, you've earned it.
So stop for a moment today and think about how you can make your fellow citizens' lives better. Send a letter to someone deployed out there, telling them you care. Put together a package for a trooper on the front lines. Volunteer for a couple of hours a week or a month with any organization that works with vets, especially the VietNam vets who didn't have the many opportunities we provide for troopers today.
As for all those people who wear flag shirts and "support the troops" with tacky crap made in China? Go read this. And then get off your fucking ass and do something. Other than flapping your gums, that is.

The Articles of the Constitution
A young girl holds up a newspaper headline announcing Hawaii as a new state. The articles of the Constitution set up the rules for how to become a state. (Photo: Hawaii State Archives/AP Wide World)
The main body of the Constitution is made up of seven articles. The Articles explain how the government works. They also carefully describe the rules for electing government officials, like Senators and the President.
The Constitution is based on the separation of powers. It divides power between the three separate branches of the government. They are the legislative, judicial, and executive branches.
Article I
The role of the legislative branch is discussed in Article I. The legislative branch includes the House of Representatives and the Senate. Together they are called Congress. Members of the House of Representatives are often referred to as members of Congress, but Senators are always called Senators.
Article II
Rules for how the President and the Vice President are elected are defined in Article II. It also defines the responsibilities and powers of the President and the executive branch.
Article III
The judicial branch includes the Supreme Court and lower courts. Article III states that Supreme Court Judges can hold office for life, unless they are removed, impeached, or convicted of a crime. It also says that anyone accused of committing a federal crime has the right to a trial by jury.
Article IV
Article IV discusses the relationship between states and the federal government. It also outlines the rules for admitting new states to the Union.
Article V
The Founding Fathers realized that over time, the government might need to make changes, called amendments, to the Constitution. Two thirds of both houses of Congress must agree to propose an amendment. It takes a positive vote by three fourths of the states to make an amendment law.
Article VI
Article VI states that the Constitution is the highest law of the land. Federal and state officers and judges must uphold the Constitution.
Article VII
The names of the men who signed and ratified, or approved the Constitution, are in Article VII. It confirms the establishment of the Constitution.

2 more charged in stray bullet death
PATERSON – Hundreds of mourners gathered Friday for a funeral for a 12-year-old girl killed when she was hit by a stray bullet while riding a scooter, and three young men faced charges in her death.

A 19-year-old who turned himself in earlier in the week pleaded not guilty Friday in the death of Genesis Rincon, while prosecutors announced that two other young men had been arrested.
Jhymiere Moore, 19, pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and weapons charges. Jeffery Ellerbee, 21, was charged Friday with first-degree murder and weapons offenses, and Marshae Anthony, 19, was charged with weapons offenses.
Jason Statuto, an assistant Passaic County prosecutor, said both Moore and Ellerbee fired shots, and Genesis was struck in the head around 8:40 p.m. Saturday as she rode home to a family gathering. She was kept on life support until Monday when her organs were donated.
Statuto said Genesis was not the intended target, but that he couldn't comment on who was.
Moore's lawyer, Harley Breite, told reporters after the court hearing that Moore was not involved in the shooting but turned himself in on Tuesday because he heard through people on the street that he was a target of the investigation.
"Rather than make it appear that he had some culpability or was in some way responsible for this, he took it upon himself to say: 'I am not guilty, I am not responsible for that tragedy, and I want to be an active member in this criminal justice system. I'm not going to become a second victim in this tragedy,'" Breite said.
The lawyer noted that no weapon was found on Moore. Statuto said the weapon used to kill the girl has not been found.
Ellerbee was arrested Thursday night and Anthony was arrested Wednesday, Statuto said. It wasn't immediately clear if either had an attorney.
Moore's bail was kept at $3 million, but Breite said he will file a motion to try to get that reduced. He is being held in protective custody at the Passaic County Jail because of the high-profile nature of the case.
Family and friends of Genesis packed the courtroom Friday, with many wearing "Justice for Genesis" hats and T-shirts.
Overall crime in Paterson is down, but there has been a dramatic increase in gun violence, acting Police Chief William Fraher said earlier this week. There were 40 nonfatal shootings in the city in 2010 compared with 53 nonfatal shootings in the city so far this year, Fraher said. He noted 125 police officers were laid off in 2011.
Breite said Moore is being used as a scapegoat for the city's violence.
"The wrongful persecution of a 19-year-old city youth is not the answer to what's going on in Paterson," he said. "One thing is for sure: The killer of that young girl was not in court today."
