Book Review: "Bullshit in Psychotherapy" by George Steinfeld
This is a sweet and interesting book, with an obviously attractive title (well - attractive to me!), written as an autobiographical look back over his professional life as a therapist by the 80-year-old George Steinfeld. It is exceptional in its honesty, and it pulls no punches about delivering some uncomfortable home truths about this profession of ours. Many of George's criticisms I find myself agreeing with, and many of his warnings to clients I wholeheartedly endorse. Here is a collection:
"It has struck me that after about 70 years of practising therapy in this country … and more than 100 years since Freud's time, there's something wrong with clients not getting healthier. Recent work suggests that therapy can make people worse. It's a useful idea to let clients know of this possibility."
"Some of the bullshit is therapist driven, but some of it is client driven. Making this distinction is important in our work. Whenever there is money or ego (power) involved, or some unmet needs of the therapist, we have to be on the lookout for bullshit."
"One could spend years in therapy, and I've heard some have stayed 50 years, till they or their therapist died, with no concern as to whether it was helping. Sure, people changed, but so did people who never were in therapy, and there was and still is no clear relationship between therapy and change."
"Private practice: now it really gets bullshitty! … As I sit and listen to clients, … and I do happen to be an excellent listener, if I do say so myself, I often ask myself whether what the client is paying me is worth it. Other times I feel that no matter what the client paid it wouldn't be enough."
George's disenchantment with psychoanalysis
He makes no bones about the fact that - although initially and for many years he was a true believer in psychoanalysis as practised in the US at the time, i.e. the 1960s - he now thinks of it as one of the key candidates for bullshit. He is especially critical of its search for past origins to current problems and the assumption that insight is sufficient to change behaviour.
"I believed in psychoanalysis for years, in undergraduate and graduate school. And I believed in it when I came to
[…] my internship training. I was a true and firm believer that psychoanalysis and Freud had the truth, and I was going to use the truth to cure patients. I believed the mental health field wanted to help patients get better, and they were humanistically devoted to this process. As you will see, I was very naive, and I paid a painful price for that naivete."
"We realise now that archaeological explorations into the past can only drag you down, even if we find the truth, which is unlikely to begin with. As stated, truth is in the mind of the beholder. But we certainly make up stories, most of which are self-serving, justifying our behaviour."
He is thoroughly disenchanted with psychoanalysis, and he does tell some good horror stories about his experience of it:
"I was still being supervised by analytic supervisors and following the party line. My supervisor listened to tapes of my sessions and guided me to analyze the patient's communication. The theory was that if we understood the patient's cryptic communication, we could analyze them and through this process, the patient would improve or at least get better. This was and still is, in some circles, one of the greatest bullshit story of all times." "[The supervisor] would have us play the tape, and after about a minute or two, he said stop the tape. His classic line, told to every new intern, as we subsequently discovered, was simple. He matter-of-factly stated, after the short time he listened, that the rest of therapy would be undoing what we had done in the first few moments of the session. You can imagine how devastating this could be for a newbie. We'd never make it. What it taught us was to do what [the supervisor] suggested for the first few minutes of the session, since that's what he only listened to, and then do what we felt we should do based on our feelings and thoughts and based on what we were reading and discovering from others. We did not have the courage to confront him with what we felt was bullshit. So we bullshitted as well."
Once he had dismissed psychoanalysis in the 1970's, and committed himself to behavioural therapy (especially Ellis' rational-emotive version of it), and then TA, family therapy, and more recently the energy therapies, he clearly did not bother to follow the further developments that have led to the wide-spread supersession of ego-psychology by relational psychoanalysis in the US.
One flew over the cuckoo's nest - well, a whole generation did
The second main candidate for bullshit in therapy and in the mental health system is psychiatry and George's fight for patients' rights. By all accounts, he was exposed to some horrid institutions, very reminiscent of "One flew over the cuckoo's nest", which he mentions. Fortunately for him, the anti-psychiatry movement and RD Laing kicked in just about as George and his mate Marty were about to be ground into the dust by the system. So he read Goffman's "Asylums" and Szasz "Myth of Mental Illness" and was well on his way to becoming a 1960s radical ("Goffman was describing mental hospital as a total institution, closed systems that could produce more suffering to inmates than it would have us believe. It took several more years to fully appreciate "Asylums" which I subsequently devoured as we confronted more bullshit down the road.").
For most of us these days it is easy to take these criticisms of psychiatry and the mental health system for granted, benefiting - as we do - from hindsight, and having grown up on Laing as essential reading in our early 20s. However, for George working within the system and then daring to rebel against it, these were formative and scarring experiences, including some personal betrayals and a lot of personal-professional bullshit.
"The most honest non-bullshit environment I have ever been in"
It is not surprising that he went on from there seeking integrity and things that worked for him. His conversion experience occurred when he started working in Therapeutic Communities in prison. Here is his description of his first day:
"He states he has feelings about Steinfeld, me, and he is encouraged to "get his feelings off". He proceeds to confront me with my stupidity, with a variety of expletives that had me reeling and feeling as small as a mouse. Totally incompetent. I did not know what I was doing, I was killing the brother with my comments, and this young man directed me to essentially "shut the fuck up". It took me some time to understand the process, and to gain the trust of the men. It was a great experience, and in light of the theme of this paper, I realised then and now that it was the most honest non-bullshit environment I have ever been in. No one, resident or staff, could bullshit or they would be called on it by anyone who observed it. No triangulation was allowed. You spoke directly to anyone you had thoughts of feelings about. No indirect bullshit was allowed."
Many of his clients in the Therapeutic Communities were addicts, and from then on, addiction becomes the paradigm that is central to George's thinking about therapy. And this, it seems to me, circumscribes both the urgency, validity and integrity of his perspective as well as constituting his major blindspot and fallacy in how he constructs therapy (as I will discuss later on).
Developing therapies to seriously take on the many faces of bullshit
Following on from his experience in the Therapeutic Communities, George got thoroughly engaged in the psychotherapeutic profession of his time, and without making a meal out of it, the fact that he is very knowledgeable and well-versed in the developments of the field at the time (1970s and 1980's especially) shines through in his descriptions of his further journey, summarised in these paragraphs:
"As I look over my years practising and learning and reading and writing, only a few workshops or conferences stand out as learning experiences incorporated into my practice. Ellis' Rational Emotive training and related cognitive behavioural approaches, Transactional Analysis, energy healing procedures and family systems theory have captured my fancy. Even though I trained at the Mental Research Institute, the hotbed of brief, strategic treatment, with the best of the best at the time, I rarely use their procedures, though I like to think they encouraged us to think brief therapy. The other major influence of course has been the spiritual teaching of Ram Dass and other Buddhist scholars."
"I began receiving training in Transactional Analysis, a non-bullshit approach to therapy (although some practitioners, I have learned, do not practice what they preach)."
"If you walk the earth wearing shoes, all you feel is leather. Thanks, Ram Dass. … Since he has been so important to me, almost 40 years of having him in my life … frequently quoting him, with pictures in my office and I carry him with me throughout my life."
"My clients have taught me much over the years. Much more than my supervisors had. That is, except for Albert Ellis, with whom I trained in the mid-70s. That was my first introduction to cognitive behaviour therapy on a formal teaching basis, although I had been reading about it many years prior. I don't recall many of my encounters with Ellis during the actual training. My wife saw him several times. In addition to telling her to put away all the horse shit she was reading, analytic crap as he referred to it. It was hard for her to do that, being a trained analytically-oriented social worker. But she felt very safe with him, despite him telling her she was very attractive. He had great integrity and she felt it, unlike previous therapists she had seen. … Ellis also told my wife I was the most stubborn person he ever met, a truth that was hard for me to accept."
There are frequent indications throughout the book that Ellis's feedback might have a kernel of truth:
"I personally have a little problem with strategic therapy, as practised by some, whereby they encourage interventions which are geared to have a positive effect, but the client is unaware of the process. I realise this is my issue. … my personal inclination is to explain the therapy process to the client, tend to normalise their experiences and their issues, and see if they are willing to engage in the change process. … There is something unequal in the relationship that concerns me. I guess I believe that everyone has the capacity to understand, and it's their choice to do or not do something. … as I write this, I'm confronting my own unresolved issues, perhaps anyone who reads this can help me clarify my thoughts and values on the matter. I think it goes back to feeling uncomfortable with the unequal power relationship in therapy, my experience of the hospital where patients had no say, whereas in the prison setting, the therapeutic community where I worked, there were, as previously stated, no 'big mes and little yous'."
Clearly, George does not believe in anything unconscious - he believes in taking responsibility and in behaviour change, as we will have to discuss later on. In summary, the book makes many valid critical points, not only about the particular times and situations that George struggled in, but more generally about the therapeutic profession - much of it is still valid today. His main bugbears are psychoanalysis, especially in the 1960's ego-psychology version that he was exposed to in the US, and psychiatry, then and - much of it - now. Although George frequently owns up to the bias of his perspective - and such personal-professional owning up to the constructed partiality of one's own 'truth' is of course a key element of his recipe for minimising bullshit, in psychotherapy and in life - he never quite gets over himself and his key assumptions. In giving an account of his professional life, he is very open about the path which his own seeking for 'truth' took, and also the outrageous and damaging bullshit which he encountered and is reacting and writing against.
My attempt to follow his invitation to help clarify his "thoughts and values"
However, following his invitation for colleagues to clarify his "thoughts and values", I would like to suggest that George is making one - very common and ultimately misleading - fundamental assumption, with pervasive consequences for all of his thinking: that therapy is all about change and making change happen. This is very obvious to him because - without quite saying so - he takes one of his early client groups (i.e. addicts), as a default reference for the flawed human condition - there can be no doubt in his mind that an addict is in need of therapy, and that good, effective therapy will have to cure him of the addiction, so there is a clearly factual and tangible desired behavioural outcome. Put this together with the fact that the therapeutic community which helped him overcome his own trappedness in bullshit has become a foundation and reference point for all his later thinking, and you end up with one dedicated therapist pursuing his therapeutic mission of confronting addiction in all its sneaky and self-perpetuating and self-justifying forms and rooting it out.
We are all 'dope fiends' … who therefore need rational-emotive therapy
The central chapter of the book declares how George sees us all as 'dope fiends', operating by addictive magical thinking. He spends considerable time and space going through the multitudinous details and permutations of the irrationality at the root of addiction which calls for therapeutic intervention. And therapeutic non-bullshit effectiveness in his mind depends upon confronting that irrationality comprehensively and with quick results, manifested in changed behaviour.
So here is his 'credo':
"I define the 'dope fiend' as anyone who acts repeatedly in a self-defeating way, whether or not he actually stick the needle in his arms, drinks himself into a stupor, […] Thus, people who use drugs and alcohol, overeat, smoke compulsively, fantasise about their 'knight in shining armour', have obsessions and compulsions, feel hostile, depressed, anxious and guilty most of the time, who work excessively in their lives are all manifesting 'dope fiend' attributes. in fact, excessive involvement in any activity, without balance […] can be called addictive behaviour. any excessive thoughts, feelings or actions which serve to block out other aspects of one's existence are conceived to be 'dope fiend' tendencies. We are all 'dope fiends' unless we work toward overcoming our '7 deadly sins', first by embracing them as part of ourselves, and then through the grace of our work and a higher power, transcend them, as best we can. […] In all cases they select behaviour which invariably leads to a "losing life pattern (Berne 1974). ... In essence, all 'dope fiends' are (ignorant-unknowing of choices), manifesting a host of irrational (dysfunctional) thoughts and feelings and ignoring the consequences of their behaviour (Ellis, 1974)."
Because George quite rightly sees addicts as having a million ways of rationalising their way out of confronting their addiction - anything to perpetuate their habit - George is consequent in his judgment that any refusal to do something about it is bullshit, whether it is the client's or the therapist's refusal to get serious. He therefore isn't interested in thoughts or words, or even good or bad intentions, or any inner psychological reality for that matter, unless it's backed up with behavioural change. For George, this is the yardstick of therapy's effectiveness and if it doesn't deliver it, it's bullshit. For these purposes, the paradigm of rational emotive behaviour therapy appears to be just the ticket:
"According to REBT, it is largely our thinking about events that leads to emotional and behavioral upset. With an emphasis on the present, individuals are taught how to examine and challenge their unhelpful thinking which creates unhealthy emotions and self-defeating/self-sabotaging behaviors. REBT is a practical approach to assist individuals in coping with and overcoming adversity as well as achieving goals. REBT places a good deal of its focus on the present. REBT addresses attitudes, unhealthy emotions (e.g., unhealthy anger, depression, anxiety, guilt, etc.) and maladaptive behaviors (e.g., procrastination, addictive behaviors, aggression, unhealthy eating, sleep disturbance, etc.) that can negatively impact life satisfaction. REBT practitioners work closely with individuals, seeking to help identify their individual set of beliefs (attitudes, expectations and personal rules) that frequently lead to emotional distress. REBT then provides a variety of methods to help people reformulate their dysfunctional beliefs into more sensible, realistic and helpful ones by employing the powerful REBT technique called 'disputing'." (from the home page of the website: http://albertellis.org/rebt-cbt-therapy/)
And the practice of disputing George develops into an art form (that kernel of stubbornness that Ellis was pointing to). His assumption is that if therapy has any point at all, then it must be to get us over those addictive tendencies, somewhat closer to something resembling 'mature grown-up reality'. By expanding psychology to include a spiritual perspective (we are all 'dope fiends' unless we work toward overcoming our '7 deadly sins'), he then extends the reach and scope of therapy way beyond addiction to particular substances: by identifying the addictive roots of the ego and its stubborn refusal of a spiritually enlightened perspective, addiction becomes the paradigm for all human suffering and the irrational mechanisms which perpetuate it. He then fights this pervasive addictive human flaw using all the tricks and tools in the book, including the spiritual book, as authored by Ram Dass and others.
The devil is not just in the detail - it's in the 'resistance'
Having made his description of the dope fiend the central chapter of the book, he is then confronted with the dope fiend's resistance and non-compliance with the therapy as the central problem for the therapist.
But he never questions his own construction of therapy which is always already built upon his pre-existing and taken-for-granted notion of the dope fiend's resistance to those desirable changes which George's spiritually enhanced perspective has defined as required, or worth while, or as bullshit if avoided. The more he widens the category of addiction as the underlying driver and root cause of human malaise, the more entrenched the fiendishly subtle resistance against proper behaviour change appears to him. The key message of the book, therefore, regarding what is and isn't bullshit in therapy, hinges around 'resistance' ("Part II: Patient Non-compliance: Resistance to Getting Healthy and Happy") and how to overcome it.
The particular mixture of approaches that he has become attracted to speaks to him because of the active and helpful principles and strategies they give him in confronting and tackling resistance effectively. The integration of approaches which he has developed over the years and which he advocates includes only those that promise - in his experience - to combat resistance bluntly and to effect behaviour change quickly.
To be completed …

Malta International Airport continued to register exceptional results, with year-to-date traffic through the terminal reaching 5,939,436 passenger movements. This figure indicates that the airport is on track to reaching its forecast 6.8 million passenger movements by the end of 2018.
Last summer, which was the busiest one yet for the team at Malta Airport, was an important contributor to this year-to-date total. A 12.2 per cent growth in passenger traffic for the summer months - from April to October - was observed alongside a 13.4 per cent increase in aircraft movements and an increase of 13.7 per cent in seat capacity. These improvements mainly resulted from a significantly enhanced summer schedule with more than 100 destinations on offer.
"Year-to-date traffic results are quite remarkable considering that last year the six million mark was only reached on the last day of 2017. While summer has now ended, over 12 routes have been extended into the winter period and more frequencies have been added on a number of routes. The months ahead promise to keep us busy, auguring well for our pledge to constantly work towards year-round tourism," said Malta International Airport CEO, Alan Borg.
The top drivers of passenger traffic during the summer months were the United Kingdom (+14.9 per cent), Italy (+15.1 per cent), Germany (-2.3 per cent), France (+12.5 per cent), and Spain (+44.5 per cent). Spain's noteworthy spike in passenger movements can be attributed to the launch of three new summer routes; Malaga, Seville, and Bilbao, two of which have been extended into the winter period.
Last summer's most popular destination with Maltese holidaymakers was Italy, with Catania and Rome being the most sought-after cities. These two cities will be benefitting from four additional weekly flights each throughout the winter period, which will certainly serve to further cement their popularity with the Maltese public even in the off-peak months.
October, which marks the end of summer for the aviation industry, grew by 8.4 per cent in terms of traffic to reach 646,559 passenger movements.


Calcium Calcium is a dietary calcium supplement which is used for the treatment of hypocalcemia or low blood calcium levels. It is also used to treat osteoporosis, heartburn, indigestion, and hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic renal failure. Calcitriol (Vitamin D3) Vitamin D is used to treat low levels of calcium that occurs due to conditions such as hypoparathyroidism, chronic renal dialysis, and plaque psoriasis. Soy isoflavones Isoflavone is used to treat osteoporosis (a bone-thinning disease). It is also used to treat a condition called Paget's disease which involves reduced bone mass.
Calcium Calcium supplements calcium in the diet. It also prevents absorption of phosphate from the gastrointestinal tract in people with kidney disease. Calcitriol (Vitamin D3) Vitamin D promotes absorption of dietary calcium from the gastrointestinal tract and increases renal tubular reabsorption, thereby increasing blood calcium levels. It also promotes calcium release from bone cells. Soy isoflavones Soy isoflavones work by delaying the bone loss, increasing the bone formation, thereby, preventing them from fractures.
Calcium The common side effects of calcium are constipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, indigestion, increased thirst, and abdominal pain. Calcitriol (Vitamin D3) The main side effect of Vitamin D is hyperglycemia. Other effects include weakness, loss of appetite, metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, constipation, increased thirst, sweating, itching, and headache. Soy isoflavone The side effects common with Isoflavone are bloating, nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, heartburn, mild joint pain and swelling, eye pain, headache, and dizziness.

STATUE FUND LAUNCH 2005
The actor Colin Tarrant helped to kick start a fund to raise money for a statue of Brian Clough in Nottingham. Organisers launched the fund with the aim of raising around £60,000 for a sculpture in Nottingham city centre. Colin, who was starring as the Great Man in a tribute play at Nottingham Playhouse, joined fund-raisers at a launch event (17th June, 2005).
They travelled on the Brian Clough tram into the city centre. There, they were met by the city council leader, Cllr Jon Collins, who handed over banners to be auctioned off. Below, Colin is pictured, left, with committee members Rich Fisher, Sarah Alton, Paul Ellis (chairman) and Mick Mellors. The statue was the brainchild of the Editor of brianclough.com, Marcus Alton, who liaised with the Clough family and set-up the committee.
Colin & fundraisers with Clough tram
Said Colin at the launch: "I've always been a huge admirer of Brian Clough and I think it would be superb to see a statue of him in Nottingham. He was a brilliant man, a magical manager and a fantastic character. He transformed this city and put it on the map. I really hope this fund does well and succeeds in achieving a fitting tribute for a national treasure."
Sadly, since that momentous day Colin and Mick have passed away. They have left us with many happy memories. Both were generous with their time and their smiles. RIP.
Central TV interview for Colin & fund-raiser Sarah
The leader of Nottingham City Council, Cllr Jon Collins, handed over special banners which had been displayed in the city centre in tribute to the Great Man.
The huge Brian Clough banners which were presented to the fund had been displayed shortly after Cloughie died in September 2004. They featured his picture and some of his best-known quotes. The banners were auctioned off to help raise money for the statue.
Paul Ellis & Colin Tarrant
Colin makes a point Cloughie-style
There was much media coverage of the fund's launch, long before the age of social media. Colin Tarrant, who sadly passed away in 2012, had performed as Cloughie to rave reviews in the play 'The Spirit of the Man' at the Nottingham Playhouse.
The Brian Clough Statue Fund Committee was a small group of fans who were determined to see a lasting tribute to their hero in the city centre. The committee was put together by Marcus Alton, who had liaised with the Clough family first. He had launched this website and organised the knighthood campaign.
The fund had the support of the city council, Nottingham Forest FC, the Forest Supporters Club, this tribute website and the Reds fanzines Lost That Loving Feeling and Blooming Forest. Other committee members not on the photo were Mike Simpson, who was unable to attend the launch, and Paul Lowe, who joined the committee later.
Brian's son Simon told the Nottingham Evening Post: "To have a statue would be very fitting and as a family we would be immensely proud if they manage to raise the money."
Nottingham Post coverage
Speaking at the fund's launch, the committee chairman Paul Ellis said: "There has been a tremendous reaction from the public since the idea was first suggested and we hope people will take the campaign to their hearts, just as they did the Great Man himself."
Paul continued: "It is fantastic that the city council is donating the banners to help us raise funds. The banners will be forever linked with Nottingham's tribute to Cloughie shortly after he died.
"Two of the banners were put on the front of the Council House, the others were displayed nearby. We intend to auction and raffle them off, giving fans the unique opportunity to own a special part of Nottinghamshire history."
BUY THE SIGNED BOOK: THE STATUE STORY (foreword by Mrs Clough)
The leader of the city council, Jon Collins, gave the fund his personal backing. "I hope the fund will go from strength to strength," he said at the time. "I am really pleased to present the banners which were displayed in the city and I hope they will help to raise important funds towards a fitting tribute to a remarkable man.
"You only have to look at the response of people who attended the civic tribute which we held in Nottingham to see what Brian Clough meant to the people of Nottinghamshire and beyond."
Colin Lea of Nottingham Express Transit said: "We are proud to support the Brian Clough Statue Fund by laying-on the special Brian Clough tram for the launch. We wish the fund every success."
The tram driver was even allowed to wear his Nottingham Forest shirt for the launch event.
One of the committee members, Sarah Alton from this website, said at the time of the launch that the fund-raising campaign was a chance for people to repay the success and enjoyment Brian Clough brought to the city and county. "A statue will be something at which fans and visitors to the city can pay homage in years to come," said Sarah.
"It would be a permanent tribute from the people of Nottinghamshire to a man who achieved so much and put the city and county on the map. The statue should be easily accessible to everyone at any time of day."
Another committee member, Rich Fisher, said at the launch: "There are statues of other footballing greats in towns and cities around the country. It is only right we do everything we can as fans to ensure there is a fitting tribute in Nottingham to this incredible man, the best manager England never had."
After lots of hard work by the small group of volunteers, the fund's target of £60,000 was smashed within 18 months. The statue was unveiled in November 2008 by Mrs Clough, who described it as 'perfect.'

United States: "Outbreak out of control"
The health situation in the United States continues to deteriorate as COVID-19 infections increase due to delta variation and stagnant vaccine.
Also read: Govt-19: Anthony Fossy says there are no new locks on the horizon in the United States
Dr. Julian J., a physician at Massachusetts General Hospital. Kawanak said, "Especially in South America, the epidemic is not under control again. In a week, we went from 75,000 to 80,000 cases a day, and I fear this rate (…) will reach 150,000-200,000 cases a day again in the coming weeks.
According to the doctor, the strong epidemic of delta variability is the main reason for this new rise.
He says the increase in cases could mean more hospital admissions and more deaths.
When the vaccination campaign started in April, we would have to continue at the best pace we started. We get more than 4 million injections a day, "says Dr. Kavanagh.
Thus, the United States can calculate a combined immunity, where about 80% of the population received two doses to counteract the delta.
Most step Recent data From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), only 49.5% of Americans are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. In addition, 57.5% of those receiving a single dose of the vaccine.
Dr. Julian J. According to Kawanak, the vaccine has been successful for people over 65, with 80% of its population fully vaccinated, but it is crashing among younger people.
But above all, the doctor regrets that the political aspect was invited to the dance.
Unfortunately, we see political infiltration in this vaccine campaign and the conservative movement coming to reject the vaccine. You can feel it on the ground, "he says.

Anyone know anything about these turbo kits?
here is the kit on a matrix. im kind of curious now.
It is a nice kit and the boost that is lost is super minimal. They work great!
My question is... dont they make a direct bolt up supercharger for your car?
they do but their is something i want to do with an S/C and turbo but i dont want to talk about it until i get'er done. that is actually why i ask. i have some awesome plans when i get back to TX.
This looks pretty good.. my buddies and I always make jokes because my belt squeaks at the same times you'd bere a BOV open, like everytime. Top RPM's and let of the gas, you get a little squeak, shift gears, there's another.. maybe once I get the van paid off it'll be time to go with a Turbo Kit?
It's the engine that matters, and there's a lot of power in that LX9. I've told you the potential!

Upcoming golf tournament will benefit two local children
October 13, 2020 Monique Roth Featured, News, Newsletters 0
Jonah Landry and Avery Stromeyer are the two beneficiaries of this year's Dat Dads' golf tournament.
"Come hell or high water we're having a golf tournament for these kids," Dat Dads' Club of Luling President Claude Adams said this week of the Oct. 23 tournament.
Dat Dads, a non-profit organization founded to assist families with unforeseen medical expenses, has helped raised over $200,000 for local families since its inception in 2016. Annual fundraisers for the group include a cookoff, golf tournament and fishing rodeo.
A cookoff to benefit two local children, Avery Stromeyer and Jonah Landry, was planned for March. That, Adams said, was cancelled due to coronavirus precautions. Then a September golf tournament was cancelled due to Hurricane Sally.
Adams said with teams cooking on every other hole and a bevy of beverage sponsors, golfers are guaranteed a good time at the tournament.
"You'll eat and drink well," he said. "We have lots of sponsors and we're still looking for golfers."
The tournament is slated for Oct. 23 at Grand Ridge Golf Club in Luling with 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. flights. There is a $75 fee for individual golfers and a $300 fee per team.
"Grand Ridge … I can't say how much they do for us," Adams said. "They do a lot. Grand Ridge has been a partner with us since the beginning."
Adams said Dat Dads' members have been working tirelessly to make sure the tournament is a success so that the beneficiaries are blessed.
Amanda Stromeyer said she was speechless when she was contacted by the club about her daughter Avery being a beneficiary.
"I had never heard of Dat Dads' Club," she said. "We had just moved to Luling and was unfamiliar with the area or the people. I got a call from Claude explaining his affiliation and that they wanted Avery to be a beneficiary. I believe the club had seen the article in the Herald Guide about the fundraiser that my husband's cousin had started for Avery, and that's how they knew about us."
Amanda said Avery, who will turn 2 at the end of October, was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at 9 days old.
"Avery goes with the flow – she adapts to her ever-changing medication regimens and treatments," Amanda said. "We throw another breathing treatment at her and she acts like she's been doing it since being a baby."
Amanda said Avery's daily regimens include artificial pancreatic enzymes at every meal, acid reflux medications, vitamins, nebulized breathing treatments and vest therapy. She currently sees three pediatric specialists.
Jessica Landry said she was overwhelmed with gratitude when she learned her son Jonah, 14 months old, was selected as a beneficiary of the tournament.
"Our focus as a family has solely been on making sure Jonah stays healthy and the monetary aspect of it was merely a second thought," she said. "To know that members of this community heard our story and are willing to recognize Jonah is extremely humbling. I don't think we could ever express just how honored and appreciative we are of St. Charles Parish and Dat Dads' Club."
Since birth, Jonah has been intubated three times and has had nine blood transfusions. In January of this year he underwent open heart surgery.
"We had no idea prior to his birth that he would be diagnosed with Down Syndrome," Jessica said. "Since his first breath he has taught me and our family things we never thought imaginable. You think you will teach your baby about strength, while he is showing us how strong we can be during the most difficult time of his life."

Sunburned skin can occur after only 15 minutes of sun exposure, says "Kids Health." Sunburns are not only painful, but can cause fine lines, wrinkles and skin cancer. To protect yourself from sunburns and harmful UV rays, slather your skin with sunscreen every time you go outside, instead of just when you go to the beach or the pool. In most cases, a sunburn does not require a doctor's care and can be treated at home. If sunburn accompanies other symptoms, like a fever, consult a doctor.
Take an over-the-counter pain reliever. Taking pain medication, like over-the-counter ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help reduce pain, swelling and redness associated with sunburn. Take every four hours, or as directed on the medication's label.
Apply hydrocortisone cream to the skin, such as 0.5 percent to 1 percent hydrocortisone cream. This is available over-the-counter, and can help reduce the swelling, pain and itchiness of a sunburn. Slather the cream on your skin as needed throughout the day.
Place cool compresses on the sunburned area, recommends "Kids Health." Rinse a clean washcloth in cool water, and apply directly to the afflicted area. As the sunburned skin warms the compress, rinse the cool compress in water again and reapply it.
Drink more water. The moisture in your body will help repair your sunburned skin, which can make you dehydrated. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day to help prevent dehydration.
Rub fresh aloe vera gel on skin as needed to help cool and hydrate sunburned skin. Contact a doctor if your sunburn is accompanied by any other symptoms such as faintness, a fever, confusion or severe pain. Your doctor can provide a prescription-strength hydrocortisone cream to prevent pain or intravenous fluids to reduce dehydration.
Do not pop any blisters that form on the skin.

Cathouse Proper
November 14, 2020 – January 17, 2021
MORE TIME LESS consists of work by Zac Hacmon, Elana Herzog, Aga Ousseinov, Tim Simonds, and Nari Ward. This second ensemble show for Cathouse Proper, curated by David Dixon, invites viewers to examine cultural and informational exchanges across time: these allusions, both hidden and on the surface, draw connections between the works and within the works themselves.
Simonds's Limb Ouroboros (was) (2015) references some of the earliest and the most recent human creativity. About the size of a human heart, the work is made up of a dehydrated alginate cast of the artist's right arm. The delicate fingers holding a prescription-sized cylinder fold back toward the shoulder, creating the ouroboros loop. This ancient Egyptian symbol represents the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, in the form of a snake or dragon eating its own tail. The self-referential cycle in Simonds's piece is echoed in its production process. Alginate is normally used to form the mold that would then hold casting material. This water-based material shrinks as it dries. Simonds used the alginate instead as the casting material, allowing the shrinkage to take place and find its final form in the dense sculpture. By flipping the mold and cast in the object's formation, Simonds winks at the cheeky "chicken or the egg" question inherent in the ouroboros symbol. He ties the historical symbol to a contemporary, engineered, sustainable material that many herald as a potential source of salvation for our resource-shortage problem. Simonds points to a possible renewal for our planet.

Connected to Simonds's ecological and cyclical concern is Herzog's Cross Pollination #1 (2020). The work precariously hangs on a rod placed on a zigzagging wall-mount, while thin red fibers thread up to the ceiling for additional support. The rod holds four collaged floral-patterned fabrics that Herzog collected from Scandinavia, Asia, Russia, and the United States. Following the floral pattern on two of the fabrics, Herzog has embroidered stems and leaves with neon-green thread, inserting her voice into the histories of these fabrics. By quilting the textiles together, Herzog envisions the patchwork relationships of our global reality, rather than the significance of any individual or nation. Herzog's engagement with floral fabrics began with her research in 2018 on pre-Soviet, Soviet, and Post-Soviet textiles, which solidified during her 2019 residency at Wave Hill, a botanic and art space in the Bronx that connects nature and culture in one. Plants call to mind the ouroboros's cycle in two ways. First is plants' own growth cycles of rebirth; secondly, plants also mimic the distribution of information and culture over space and time, as they are introduced to new lands by foreigners. Herzog uses her floral textiles and research to speak to the continuous cultural exchange.
Ousseinov's Confusion of Tongues (Kite) (2020), hung across from Cross Pollination #1, is another tall and visually striking piece, taking advantage of the gallery's high ceilings. Kite is comprised of three segments, stacked vertically on top of each other. Visually resonant with Herzog's constellation of red weight-bearing threads, the central panel of white interconnected sticks seems to reference Polynesian nautical navigational systems, used by Islanders to orient themselves and plot voyages. The top panel uses traditional sail-making techniques that form another lattice structure visible on white rice paper silkscreened with an enlarged 100-franc Swiss banknote featuring Alberto Giacometti's Walking Man (1960). The bottom panel displays colorful sticker-sized images from various times, as if they are the new stars that people could use to navigate. Borrowing from traditional Japanese paper kite techniques, this portion of the work also reveals its internal wooden structure. Ousseinov's work uses imagery of travel and commercial exchange to display the interconnections and similarities between cultures and people rather than their differences.
The travel in Ward's stoic Anchoring Escapement (Baule) (2017) spans time and space. A feature of many plantation homes in the American South, the grandfather clock marks the activities of the bodies inhabiting space—when to eat, work, sleep, and breathe (to exaggerate). In the belly of this clock sits a figurative sculpture from the Baule people of the West African coast. Peeking out from the small window, the face looks out into the gallery space, hauntingly quiet. The figure not only silences the clock by taking over the pendulum tower, but it also represents the silent slaves, who hid under the floorboards of the First African Baptist Church (1777) in Savannah, Georgia, a stop on the Underground Railroad in the early 19th century. A Congolese cosmogram (representing birth, life, death, and rebirth) was drilled into the church's floorboards to allow escaped slaves to breath. A copper cosmogram tops the face of the clock, demarcating time and giving life at the same time. The awful history of slavery attests to more troubling forms of travel and exchange: the enslaved traveling across the Atlantic and escapees finding their way to freedom are just two examples.
Zac Hacmon, Capsule #5, (detail), 2020. Photo: Dario Lasagni.
Hacmon's Capsule #4 and #5 (both 2020) are the latest additions to what the artist calls "one person living unit[s]." Akin to Ward's encasement, Capsule #4 addresses another form of injustice. Demarcated by place and placelessness, the multimedia sculpture is meant to look as if it is a part of the architecture. Absent, however, are the bodies that are meant to inhabit it, uncomfortably. The distorted sound emanating from the work came from the US-Mexico boundary in Arizona where, in order to build the border wall, the Trump administration had blasted through the Tohono O'odham Nation's sacred land without permission. In addition to the explosion and a woman on megaphone, there are also artificial sounds suggesting scanners and surveillance technology. Hacmon's protectionist objective contains and alienates the body from others. Devoid of the humanistic touch that we find in Herzog's textiles or in Simonds's actual body, these coldly fluorescent spaces beep at a slow drone that could drive one crazy. Capsule #4 becomes a no-place as we see humanity strip from spaces that could instead welcome exchange.
The exhibition's references span vast amounts of time, while the work included lives in the present, each one consolidating the observance and expression of our shared history, urging us to recognize the connections between people rather than the artificial national divides we have formed. The thoughtful show has been extended to January 17, 2021. Take a masked ride or stroll to Carroll Gardens and explore the relationships of such beautifully flawed humanity.

Q: Javascript message I am having some problems fixing my JS code.
In the snippet code you can see my program,
Now click the first checkbox. A message appears at the bottem, as soon as I type a number in it the message should dissapear and the textbox should not disable ...
When I click a second checkbox the message should append to the previous, but it just overwrites... and then with the same values as the previous one ...
Can anyone give me some idea's about that? Should be something wrong in the test function ...

Lifelong learning Is My Ambrosian Value
Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education, Class of 2000
"That first day of student teaching, when I looked into the eyes of the kids I'd be working with, it changed my life."
Rick wanted to discover how he could shape the world, so he chose St. Ambrose. Today, he carries what he learned and lived at SAU into his classroom every day. As an educator and an Ambrosian, he plans to spark never-ending curiosity and exploration in the next generation, and give them the tools to succeed. He is a Computer Science Instructor, Leadership Advisor, and Soccer Coach at Harding Middle School, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Rick puts his students first and always will. "They are the most challenging part of my job, too. When I get kids who come in here not looking forward to class, and by the time they leave they are smiling and laughing, or excited because I've opened their minds to new possibility of what they can do in their lives, that is the best part of my job."
What did you learn at SAU that you did not expect?
Failure = success
Rick planned to become a physical therapist, but his courses helped him realize it was not his passion. "I failed and I was frustrated. Then I remembered the time I spent helping kids in a reading program, hanging out and talking with them. I loved the interaction and I could tell it meant something to the kids that I cared enough to be there. So, I signed up for education classes. That's how I got started –with a failure."
How helpful was the time you spent in K-12 schools?
"It was a front row seat for every piece of adversity and diversity in education,' he says. Rick realized right there, in a classroom, the role he would play would go far beyond 'teacher' and it prepared him for the challenge ahead. "I got to watch professionals who did an excellent job at helping their students and meeting them exactly where they were when came through the door that day."
How do you incorporate the SAU mission of enriching lives into your career?
Rick leads a group of 50 students who tackle projects that impact the community and their peers. Like at SAU, his students grow through service and compassion. "They get a lot of great face-to-face feedback from people showing appreciation and they gain empathy for some conditions of life that are outside what they experience at home."
Service & Our Students
What is the lasting impact of your Ambrosian education and experience?
Transformational Growth
"In addition to its great reputation and great academic standards, for me personally, it was the place I grew up. I know it is cliché to say, 'I showed up a boy and ended up leaving a man,' but there are lots of wonderful things about St. Ambrose University. It is where I figured out what I wanted to do with my life."

Arts NOW Series
Red Clay Saxophone Quartet
New and Newer
Kennedy-McIlwee Studio Theatre in Thompson Hall, Concert, 7pm
Tickets HERE.
The Red Clay Saxophone Quartet was formed in 2003 when the fates conspired to bring four internationally recognized saxophonists (Susan Fancher, Robert Faub, Steven Stusek and Mark Engebretson) together in Greensboro, North Carolina. The RCSQ takes its name from the area's luscious red soil. The Quartet presents a varied repertoire from classical to jazz to new music to tango, featuring music by composers such as Chen Yi, Ben Johnston, James Paul Sain, György Ligeti, Guillermo Lago, Francis Poulenc, Alejandro Rutty, Steve Reich, Mark Engebretson, David Maslanka, Martin Bresnick, Burton Beerman, and Gavin Bryars. This concert will feature works by Mark Engebretson, Chen Yi and James Paul Sain.
In addition Dr. Mark Engebretson will give a lecture on his music at 1:30pm on April 12 in Truitt Auditorium, (1402 Broughton Hall). The public is invited to this free lecture.

NetIQ unveils two appliances for better access control to leverage cloud and social media use
NetIQ today announced new appliances that help enable businesses and other organizations to simply and securely access the power of two mega trends -- cloud and social media.
By Dana Gardner for BriefingsDirect | February 19, 2013 -- 16:59 GMT (08:59 PST) | Topic: Cloud
Cloud Access 1.1 provides a single sign-on virtual appliance that provides access to cloud services without complex and risky controls. Users within the company can access the permissioned cloud services without having to keep track of numerous and often changing usernames and passwords.
The IT team retains control of which services users can access, while making any changes in authentication for each individual site transparent to the end user. Administrators can provision services for employees on an as-needed basis, while easily de-provisioning those services when the employee leaves the company, or no longer requires access to certain services because of a role change or some other reason.
Feature-rich connectors automatically provision users to popular cloud-based applications, such as Google Apps, Salesforce, Office365, and some 200 verified connectors to security assertion markup language (SAML)-enabled cloud applications. CloudAccess 1.1 also includes a Connector Toolkit that allows IT personnel and partners to extend these federation capabilities to any SAML-enabled third-party software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications.
The issue of access ease and control still vexes web apps, never mind cloud and social platforms. It's clearly an issue that needs to be solved if users and enterprises alike are to adopt at the they pace they want.
"Prior to CloudAccess 1.1, existing approaches to managing user access to external resources was a difficult and manual process – made even more complex in light of the demands of today's dynamic organizations," said Kent Purdy, solution marketing manager at NetIQ. "CloudAccess 1.1 is not just delivering cloud single sign-on, but also simplifying IT's ability to successfully turn SaaS, cloud, mobility, and other disruptive trends into business-enabling opportunities."
Access logs also let IT administrators see how often cloud services are being used, which will allow them to determine whether various services are still cost-effective for the company. It also provides visibility into which employees accessed which services -- and for how long.
The second appliance solution is SocialAccess 1.0, which helps organizations -- retailers, commerce hubs, state and local governments -- rapidly engage with customers and constituents by allowing them to use their unique social identity and profile information from providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, and others.
Until now, such access required individuals to create and maintain a unique username and password for each site, which is costly for the organization and inconvenient for the individual. SocialAccess 1.0 enables large-scale "bring your own identity" (BYOI) services that simplify how organizations interact with stakeholders and develop greater levels of customer intimacy, all while increasing brand loyalty and reducing IT costs.
Because it's an appliance, it makes it quick to deploy and easy to use for retailers, commerce hubs, state and local government and others seeking rapid engagement with stakeholders without the need to build, manage and maintain an identity store.
The impact of social media on corporate decision-making came into focus last week, when bourbon-maker Beam, Inc., announced plans to cut the alcohol content of its Marker's Mark brand by watering it down in order to meet growing demand. Within days, social media -- Facebook and Twitter -- were filled with furious protests over the move, leading Beam to reverse it's decision. The impact of social media is by no means a flash in the pan.
Demanding access
"Consumers are demanding convenient access to more services from more endpoints than ever and organizations need to be able to seize the opportunities that social identity, mobile computing, cloud and other trends naturally create," said Geoff Webb, director, Solution Strategy at NetIQ. "BYOI is a great example of the opportunity to build on existing processes, improve existing services and respond more rapidly to customers."
One early adopter of the SocialAccess appliance is the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT). The department serves a network of 120 agencies, board, and offices, as well as more than 8 million residents, 300,000 employees, and approximately 50 million visitors a year.
The department was looking for a way for people to log into NYC.gov and have a personalized experience. Using SocialAccess and social media sign-on, users were spared the need to create and maintain another online identity.
CloudAccess 1.1 is offered on a subscription basis or perpetual license. For more information, visit www.netiq.com/cloudaccess. SocialAccess 1.0 is licensed on a per user basis. For more information, visit www.netiq.com/socialaccess.

All Is Full Of Love
You'll be given love
you'll be taken care of
you have to trust it
Maybe not from the sources
you have poured yours
Maybe not from the directions
you are staring at
Trust your head around
it's all around you

All is full of love : you just ain't receiving
All is full of love : your phone is off the hook

5e single de l'album Homogenic
All is full of love est le dernier single de l'album homogenic, l'occasion de découvrir la version originale de la chanson, car la version sur l'album était un remix, commandé par Björk à Howie B, pour que la chanson fasse mieux la transition après Pluto, « comme lorsque le soleil réapparait après un orage »
Musique et paroles : Björk
Mixage : Howie B
Production : Howie B
Photo : capture du clip par Chris Cunningham
Design : Me Company
Ce single est le premier au monde à proposer un DVD single.
All is Full of Love a été utilisé pour le bande originale du film Stigmata.
Les remix de Funkstörung sont sortis en 1998, mais ce n'est qu'en mai 1999 que le titre a bénéficié d'une vraie sortie en tant que single, soit plus d'un an et demi après la sortie d'Homogenic.
Comme tous les singles d'Homogenic, cette sortie a bénéficié d'un coffret reprenant les 2 CD et une VHS contenant le clip du single.

That song's from a moment when I'd had a pretty rough winter and then it was a spring morning and I walked outside and the birds were singing : spring is here ! I wrote the song in one day. It just clicked - you know, you're being too stubborn, don't be so silly, there's love everywhere. The feeling, the emotion of the song was like completely melting and loving everything and feeling like everuthing loved you, after a long time of not having that. The song, in essence, is actually about believing in love. Love isn't just about two persons, it's everywhere around you. Even if you're not getting love from Person A, it doesn't mean there's not love there. Obviously, it's taking the piss too - it's the most sugary song ever.

Record Collector, August 2002
Björk à propos du titre All Is Full Of Love
I guess waking up after having been in Spain for six months in the mountains...with few people. It was kind of solitary. And it was April, and I had to walk in the morning...around the mountains. And spring just kicked in. It was definitely nature-inspired. On a more personal level. It's about when you have been too stubborn about giving love to one particular direction...you expect it back ...likes it's a bank or something. And kind of realizing that it's up to you what you give, but it's not up to you what you are given and where from.

The original version was the one used for the video. Then I decided to ask Howie to make a version of it that captured the atmosphere when the sun comes out after a thunderstorm.

the video for All is full of love
The video's definitely got that 'hyperbeauty'. that sensuality in dead things. I guess. All my friends say they touch toasters differently after they've seen that video.
Flipside 1999-06-12
That video is very, very, Chris Cunningham, and I don't think my part in it was controlling at all. I came up with some beginnings of things just to describe the songs. I gave him some little Chinese statues, the erotic ones of ivory, so it was sort of white material that would melt together because of lovemaking, and he took that, and thought about it and called me later with : "how about robots ?" So that video was completely his idea ; it's not controlled. And it's trust as well. It's trust, and in that particular relationship I would say each role was different. My job was to protect him and provide him with a good working environment, and that he didn't have to worry about business and money and all this rubbish and the marketing. And also most people have like : "the single...

I'm sure many of us know the feeling after downing a full pint of Ben & Jerry's Half Baked in bed during a Netflix marathon. While it may have felt fulfilling in the moment, the pint is empty now, the credits are rolling, and all I'm thinking about is why food comas are a thing.
What if I told you that you could feel full and fulfilled with a great tasting treat and without having to eat the whole pint to feel that satisfaction?
This week I'm reviewing four popular brands of PROTEIN-rich ice cream and rating them on a scale of 1 - 5 based on ingredients, protein content, and overall yumminess. In order to make things equal and continuous in this taste test, I will be sampling each brand's version of a chocolate-peanut-butter combination. And let's be honest: who doesn't love that combo?
Plus, five lucky office members will be sampling these treats and helping to give their feedback!
First up is the well-documented and super popular Halo Top. Instagram bloggers swear by this stuff, so let's see if it lives up to its hype.
Our Take: While this frozen treat has been seen all over instagram, we found that it did not quite measure up to its name texture-wise. It contains 6g of sugar alcohol, which is harder for the body to digest, in addition to 5g of sugar. That said, we may pass the lid on this pint.
As a greek yogurt fanatic who basically eats it on the daily for an easy and protein filled breakfast, I was thrilled when I saw these guys in the freezer aisle.
Our Take: Boasting 7g of protein per serving, we were more keen on YASSO's take on the chocolate-pb fave. Because it doesn't have sugar alcohol, or any other sweetener substitute, the sugar content is definitely on the higher side. But we thought it was worth it.
Ben and Jerry's. Healthy? It almost seemed too good to be true, but then I saw the label boasting 140 calories per serving.
Our Take: We were a big fans of this lighter version of B&J's, though we found that it has a lower protein content and the richness was a bit intense. At least for this flavor, proceed with caution if you aren't a huge chocolatier.
And ... our winner at #1 is Ben & Jerry's Moophoria (the classic takes the cake).
Let us know your favorite feel-good ice cream brands in the comments below!

Home DNA Repair Error-Free DNA Replicated by Error-Prone Enzymes in Stressed Cells
A dividing yeast cell making a copy of its DNA, shown in green. Cells could be accumulating more mutations during DNA replication that previously appreciated. The red color marks the nuclear envelope surrounding the DNA. [David Gallo, PhD, University of Toronto]
Error-Free DNA Replicated by Error-Prone Enzymes in Stressed Cells
Sometimes a replicating cell must choose the lesser of two evils. For example, when a replicating cell is stressed, it may struggle to pair bases against its single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) template, even if that template is flawless. Faced with the risk of leaving a DNA strand uncopied and open to catastrophic DNA rearrangements, the cell may resort to a handy expedient. Rather than wait for highly accurate DNA polymerase enzymes, the cell may call on a hastier but error-prone substitute—mutagenic repair.
Yes, mutagenic repair, which relies on translesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerases, may intrude even when DNA is free of mutations. This finding comes from the University of Toronto, where scientists noticed that in times of stress, yeast cells produce far more replication errors than would have been expected. These errors, which occurred because the yeast cells were deprived adequate supplies of nucleotide bases, could also occur in our own cells, leading to cancer and other diseases.
The University of Toronto scientists, led by Grant W. Brown, PhD, suggested that mutagenic repair and its error-prone polymerases could be replicating more of our DNA than we ever suspected, and that these polymerases could be the source of disease-causing mutations.
Details of the scientists' work appeared February 4 in the journal Molecular Cell, in an article titled, "Rad5 Recruits Error-Prone DNA Polymerases for Mutagenic Repair of ssDNA Gaps on Undamaged Templates." The article notes that ordinarily, TLS is activated in post-replication repair (PRR) when physical damage is detected. Such damage may be caused by UV light or carcinogenic chemicals. Yet PPR may also be activated to repair ssDNA resulting from lesion-less replication stress.
"We find that PRR responds to DNA replication stress that does not cause base lesions," the article's authors wrote. "Rad5 forms nuclear foci during normal S phase and after exposure to types of replication stress where DNA base lesions are likely absent. Rad5 binds to the sites of stressed DNA replication forks, where it recruits TLS polymerases to repair ssDNA gaps, preventing mitotic defects and chromosome breaks."
The discovery took Brown and David Gallo, a PhD student who did most of the work, by surprise. They were studying DNA replication in cells raised under a limited supply of nucleotide bases that make up the A, T, C, and G letters of the DNA code. "You can think of it as your car running out of fuel. We were removing gas from DNA replication," explained Gallo.
Cells may encounter this type of stress when food is scarce or in disease, when resources are exhausted by fast-proliferating cancer cells, for example.
Rad5 promotes both mutagenic and error-free repair of undamaged ssDNA that arises during physiological and exogenous replication stress. [Molecular Cell]
To make a copy of their genome, cells first unwind the double DNA helix into single strands, where each strand serves as a template against which new DNA is synthesized through complementary base pairing, A with T and C with G. This is usually done by DNA polymerase enzymes which are "super accurate and only make errors very rarely to ensure the blueprint of life is passed to the next generation with high fidelity," Brown noted.
But the lack of DNA building blocks led the cells to call on another type of DNA polymerase, which is more fallible. This expedient, mutagenic repair, may seem an odd way to preserve the DNA, but it helps avoid worse genome-wrecking scenarios in which unwound DNA strands can lead to portions of chromosomes being lost.
"It's better to copy and make some mistakes than to leave it uncopied and open to chromosomal rearrangements which would be much worse for the cell," Brown emphasized.
"In contrast to the prevailing view of PRR," the authors of the Molecular Cell article concluded, "our data indicate that Rad5 promotes both mutagenic and error-free repair of undamaged ssDNA that arises during physiological and exogenous replication stress." This finding could have implications for cancer research.
Our cells have the same error-prone DNA copying machinery. And fast-proliferating cancer cells often experience what's known as oncogene-induced replication stress, when they run out of fuel as DNA replication rates outstrip nucleotide supply. Under these conditions, the cells could resort to error-prone DNA replication, where new mutations could help cancer survive although this remains to be verified by future studies.
"The error-prone DNA replication pathway could very well be activated during oncogene-induced replication stress to help cancer cells survive," Gallo pointed out. "This would make it a hot therapeutic target to selectively kill cancer cells."

Combine 2 cups water and 1 Tbsp. butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir in BROWN or WHITE HERB RICE MIX. Cover tightly and reduce heat to low. Cook 45 to 60 minutes for BROWN, 20 to 25 minutes for WHITE until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Makes 3 cups.
Option: Mix cooked rice with vegetable greens and shrimp with vinaigrette, for a nice seafood salad.
Put 1 cut up chicken in a large pot. Cover with water and add carrots and celery. Simmer about 1 hour. Remove chicken from pot, cool slightly and remove meat from bones. Skim fat off broth and put chicken meat back into pot. Add BROWN or WHITE HERB RICE MIX into soup. Use another BROWN or WHITE HERB RICE MIX if you use more than 1 chicken. Add more vegetables of your choice and simmer 1/2 hour longer. Serve with warm bread or crackers.
Bring to boiling 1 cup water in a large saucepan. Add 2 Tbsp. butter, 1 cup of chopped celery and 3 Tbsp. mix. Stir in 9 to 12 cups of soft bread cubes. Toss lightly and add more boiling water if a softer stuffing is desired. Stuff a washed out whole chicken or turkey right before roasting. If there is any extra stuffing put it in a casserole and bake 1/2 hour. This stuffing is good also as a topping for pork chops.
Put pork chops in flour and brown in a little vegetable oil on both sides. Place in a flat oven proof pan in a single layer and put a spoonful of stuffing on top. Cover pan and bake for 1/2 hour. Remove cover and bake 15 minutes longer.
