Logged into Google Wave despite not having time to play until next week. Disgusted that ALL my friends are already there before me.
Someone sent me an invite a couple of days ago but it's not here yet. *checks again.* Nope, not yet. *twitch* *twitch*

Birds on the Wires on Vimeo - http://vimeo.com/6428069
Reading a newspaper, I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). I knew it wasn't the most original idea in the universe. I was just curious to hear what melody the birds were creating. I sent the music to the photographer, Paulo Pinto, who I Googled on the internet. He told his editor, who told a reporter and the story ended up as an interview in the very same newspaper. Here I've posted a short video made with the photo, the music and the score (composed by the birds). Music made with Logic. Video made with After Effects.

Don't get screened for prostate cancer - AmyTuteurMD - Open Salon - http://open.salon.com/blog...
Christian Burns , Michal Cierniak, Murray Barton and 25 other people liked this
"Most men will develop prostate cancer if they live long enough. However, most prostate cancers are very slow growing and usually do not kill the patient. A man with prostate cancer generally dies of some other cause long before the prostate cancer becomes life threatening. Therefore, the PSA test diagnoses many cases of prostate cancer that do not need to be treated as well as a few cases of prostate cancer that are very aggressive. Not only is there no benefit to diagnosing the slow growing prostate cancers, but there seems to be very little benefit to diagnosing the aggressive cancers early, since some do not respond to treatment even when administered in the early stages. The second study, Screening and Prostate-Cancer Mortality in a Randomized European Study, showed a very small decrease in deaths associated with PSA screening. That decrease came at a very high price: To prevent one prostate-cancerdeath, 1410 men (or 1068 men who actually underwent screening)would have to be screened, and an additi"

from Bookmarklet
Cheerful! [And informative.]
- Akiva Moskovitz
How do you know if they benefited Chris? The point of such studies it to see what would have happened if they were never screened, the the evidence in this article suggests that they would have most likely been better off (no unnecessary surgery), though it's probably worth doing a little more reading before assuming that this article presents the best available evidence.
- Paul Buchheit
This is very important piece of research, great share. Is it going to change policy?
- WorldofHiglet
People should be aware that a similar study conducted in Europe about the same time as this one showed a 20% reduction in mortality for people who received PSA screenings. (Sorry, no link—I heard it on NPR last night.)
- Glen Campbell, B.A.
IMHO there's a pretty serious logical disconnect between "Don't get screened for prostate cancer" and "To prevent one prostate-cance rdeath, 1410 men would have to be screened". How much does a test cost, by the way?
- Ken Sheppardson
@glenc: if their numbers is close to the ones in this study, it means the reduction of mortality at at tune of about .5% of those treated. Too bad this article doesn't quote any numbers for serious side-effects
- Bleys
@cristoblanco: that's basically what they say (w/o the numbers, though) the chance of associated troubles is much more significant than that of life-saving
- Bleys
@kshep: it's probably more about side-effects than cost
- Bleys
@chris: if loss of sexual function is the only side effect, that might be true. Besides, the study is not 'anti-treatment', but 'anti-screening'. They don't object to treating those who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer 'normally'
- Bleys
This is a public policy argument, not a guide to individual action. You can see this here: "there seems to be very little benefit to diagnosing the aggressive cancers early, since some do not respond to treatment even when administered in the early stages.". That may well be true overall, but I'd much be tested, and if necessary treated, to take a chance on a full recovery, even where 'some' do not respond.
- Stan Scott
I seem to recall discussing a similar issue with Paul some years ago regarding mammography.
- Gabe
The side-effects for screening are minimal. The PSA is a blood test that can be done along with other screenings (like cholesterol). I do these anyway and plan to keep on getting PSA tests.
- Leo Laporte
A very poor and ill informed article. Too many men are still diagnosed too late in stage IV disease and last 12-18 months. It is a fallacy to think it is slow growing in all patients.
- Sally Church
It is scientific fact that those diagnosed early with any cancer are more likely to receive surgery and be cured. The watchful waiting approach favoured by many PCPs is not always the best approach. My own father was diagnosed in stage III and in 18 months he was dead. Ignorant doctors are one of my biggest pet peeves. They should re-train every 10 years to keep current.
- Sally Church
Hmmmmm interesting <note to self> get screened real soon -]
- Chris Loft
Sally, I think the point is that being cured doesn't necessarily prevent you from dying. A large number of people who are cured of cancer wouldn't have died from it anyway.
- Gabe
Isn't the lesson here, don't get treated for prostate cancer? It seems a misnomer to focus on screening. Why not just get screened once a year and then operate if it seems like it is becoming a problem?
- Kevin Fischer
Kevin, the lesson is don't get treated if the cancer isn't likely to kill you.
- Gabe
Those stats are focusing on general screening. Obviously, a doc should factor in risk and symptoms. I will say it is a little harder to hear this if you have a loved one who died of prostate cancer.Now, I am waiting for the up and coming salivary diagnostic tests - much easier and less expensive, making the cost differential less of a factor. Just grab a gob of spit and test for everything!
- Patricia F. Anderson
The supposed problem is that the expense of the screening, but the side-effects of treatment, which can apparently be worse than a slow-growing tumor and useless against a fast growing one. What is needed is better treatment.
- Paul Buchheit
Gabe, that's a very simplistic view. Many do die from prostate cancer so taking the no treatment approach doesn't help everyone.
- Sally Church
the conclusion of the research article seems to be that PSA screening is ineffective - a meaningful improvement wasn't found

Unfortunately, the TechCrunch article makes it sound like they like it ...
- Patricia F. Anderson
The healthbase fail shows how important it is to implement well developed semantic techniques. They seem to have fixed this but I'm still wondering about the reliability of their system.
- novoseek
I'd argue that at the user end no one cares about the underlying technology but about the delivery. Some of us care about the how, but the end user only really cares about the what.
- Deepak Singh
@novoseek I think it is more complicated. You need both solid semantic techniques as well as a high quality base that you are searching. Healthbase has issues in both areas. I agree with Deepak that the enduser cares more about results than anything else, but at the same time may place inappropriate trust in the results depending on the perceived source. Just pondering ... no good answer to that problem.
- Patricia F. Anderson
@Patricia I also agree on the reliability of sources but obviously I may have been focusing on the technology used which I've had interest in. @Deepak Of course the end user is important, I assumed that if the technology fails, then the results would too.

Pixar’s Brad Bird on Fostering Innovation - http://gigaom.com/2008...
Brad Bird makes his living fostering creativity. Academy Award-winning director (The Incredibles and Ratatouille) talks about the importance, in his work, of pushing teams beyond their comfort zones, encouraging dissent, and building morale. He also explained the value of “black sheep”—restless contributors with unconventional ideas. Steve Jobs hired him, says Bird, because after three successes (Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, and Toy Story 2) he was worried Pixar might struggle to stay innovative. Jobs told him: “The only thing we’re afraid of is complacency—feeling like we have it all figured out,” Bird quotes his boss as saying “…We want you to come shake things up.” Bird explains to McKinsey how he did it — and why, for “imagination-based companies to succeed in the long run, making money can’t be the focus.”
