In a stunning reversal of fortune, <a href="http://www.pyramidbrew.com/" rel="nofollow">Pyramid Brewery</a> in Berkeley, Calif., closed its facility and laid off all the employees ... who had voted to join <a href="http://www.teamsterslocal896.org/" rel="nofollow">Teamsters Local 896</a> just two months ago. Brother Doug Bloch, <a href="http://www.teamstersjc7.org/" rel="nofollow">Teamsters Joint Council 7</a> political director, shared the bad news with us. <blockquote class="tr_bq">...the company has indefinitely shuttered the facility and laid off the employees, presumably because the plant needs cleaning.  If this all sounds fishy to you, it does to us, too.  Local 896 is communicating with the company to get more information and we will keep you posted. </blockquote>On August 7, the workers at Pyramid Brewery had voted overwhelmingly to be represented by the Teamsters. Brian Indelicato, business agent, said at the time: <blockquote class="tr_bq">The parent company, North American Breweries, ran a hard dishonest campaign. However, the workers were all engaged and saw through the lies.</blockquote>The members were eager to get to the table to negotiate ways to improve their jobs. Their concerns included unsafe working conditions, unfair and inconsistent treatment, no pension, substandard benefits, wages well below the industry standard, no established work schedule or work week and a working relationship completely lacking in dignity and respect.

A study led by researchers with the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that 98 percent of patients who deferred whole brain radiation therapy and had chemotherapeutic wafers placed around the areas where metastatic tumors in the brain had been surgically removed showed preserved cognitive function in one or more of three domains; 65 percent showed preservation in all areas tested: memory, executive function, and fine motor skills. The study, published <a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cncr.28307/abstract">online in Cancer</a>, demonstrated improvements in cognitive function, particularly in executive function and memory, which were observed in more than 40 percent of patients. In the fine motor movement category, 50 percent of patients showed improvements.<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); position: static; z-index: auto; ">Brain metastases affect between 25 and 45 percent of all cancer patients. Whole brain radiation therapy is often used to control recurrence and spreading of metastases in the brain, but it causes cognitive decline in more than a third of patients and fails to improve independent function or prolong overall survival. Newer treatments, such as stereotactic radiation (e.g. Cyberknife or Gamma knife) and chemotherapeutic wafers (Gliadel® wafers) aim to treat metastases or recurrences locally while preserving cognitive function. These new approaches preserve white matter integrity; <a href="http://www.uphs.upenn.edu/news/News_Releases/2013/04/brem/print.html">previous studies</a> have looked at current surgical approaches using advanced neuroimaging, such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI or diffusion tractography), that enable surgeons to remove the tumor while sparing the fiber tracts that mediate language, motor skills, and other key functions.<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">"While not denying the value of whole brain radiation therapy for select patients, the current study supports the growing trend for some patients to have surgery and local therapy to the tumor bed, via stereotactic radiosurgery or chemowafers," said lead author Steven Brem, MD, professor of Neurosurgery at the Perelman School of Medicine. "We know that about half of patients with metastatic brain cancer go on to develop a new, separate brain metastasis, which can be detected by using surveillance MRI every 2 to 3 months. Some patients can go for years with normal brain function without risking the toxicity of whole brain radiation."<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">The study – by a team of researchers from Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of North Carolina, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Moffitt Cancer Center – followed 59 patients with up to three metastatic tumors who had received surgery and chemowafers wafers lining the tumor cavity. Of the 54 patients who followed the post-surgical protocol, 63 percent of patients had preserved fine motor coordination (34 of 54 patients), 72 percent had preserved executive function (39 of 54), and 69 percent had preserved memory (37 of 54), including 48 percent that saw an improvement in memory function (26 of 54). Only one patient (2 percent) had a decrease in all three cognition domains. Local tumor recurrences occurred in 28 percent of patients evaluated at the end of the one-year study. Distant recurrences were found in 48 percent of patients, with more than half of recurrences happening within four months of the treatment.<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">"We will continue to try to find interventions that preserve function while preserving or increasing the quality life for patients with cancer that spreads to their brain," said Dr. Brem, noting that further studies comparing treatment options are needed to determine the optimal treatment strategy.<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); position: static; z-index: auto; ">The toxicity profile was that expected for a patient population with advanced cancer metastatic to the brain.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <a href="http://www.pil-network.com/sites/schoolresearch/index">Partners in Learning School Research</a> is now available on the <a href="http://www.pil-network.com/">Partners in Learning Network</a>. A school in Canada started a survey and sent this feedback, “I spent some time this morning setting up a survey. I also did a test survey myself. I can tell you honestly that the process was significantly less cumbersome than the last version. It was certainly easy to navigate. I am going to wait until tomorrow when I have this survey set to close to see what the results look like…In the meantime, kudos to Microsoft on an excellent revamp to an amazing resource.” What is Microsoft Partners in Learning School Research (PILSR)? PILSR provides individual schools with an online research tool to measure their own innovative teaching practices that develop the skills students need for life and work today. Based on globally-recognized research, the PILSR research tool is international in scope, enables school-specific measurement of innovative teaching, and provides a common language to drive community dialogue and systemic change – all at no cost to schools. A sample report is attached. Overview page <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxJQWVHHF8hvzpwZ5u-TQtglQaKgUimAc1UQnZVZ_lccLvfvKBY2Qne6_4tBcvjTaw2b2dXDLNPYoB99rl4O2uL2iXC0nSHBRod31_1xYA1kQvrRcNL2Hq-DyCQnjVCfIh9E97HLhwq-A/s1600-h/image%25255B15%25255D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirPE4zLqwlve-mukA2V_QsJCRPqmE0CP4_UU_bOVGmchRBr1Ew4y-JMyu2Lf84e9Qy2aJFkXtK8zb6NdWu9pyVi9rVTb8KwqYAaC0gInbCwzT217QkZNAuePZz0HikKpjoYs17UmuWYQ8/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></a> What’s changed from the older version that was separate from PILN? 1. The survey has been updated 2. Once the survey is set up it sits in the School Profile on PILN 3. To help you drive your registration goals, everyone involved in the survey must be a member of PILN 4. When a teacher is invited to take the survey and clicks a link to take it, they are automatically joined to a school profile 5. The PILSR badge will automatically be awarded when a survey is complete What are the benefits of the online research tool? Partners in Learning School Research helps schools achieve a common understanding of innovative teaching practices, educational transformation, and how all parties can collectively move forward.  PILSR is: Credible:  The research tool validates the role/importance of ICT and is based on globally-recognized research* that measures innovation in three key areas: <ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Student-centered pedagogy (teaching/learning)</li><li>Extend learning beyond the classroom</li><li>ICT** used for teaching and learning</li></ul> Complimentary:  Available at no cost to primary and secondary schools worldwide. Easy/Accessible:  Available online and easy to administer. Set up, distribute surveys, and receive data easily and with minimal time commitment. Measurable:  School-specific measurement and a path to innovation.  Research data provides factual, school-specific information to empower leaders to make educated, data-driven decisions. Personalized:  Provides school-specific results based on each individual school’s own environment. How does the research tool work? 1. Schools sign up using a simple set up wizard:  Sign up for PILN. Identify a research leader. Invite teachers. Invite School leaders. Takes 15-20 minutes to set up. (Note: it is only available to schools on PILN, so if you try to set one up using your Microsoft company profile, you will be prompted to establish a school profile.) Set up wizard start page <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA5chXrBe32fNVKnFZcSfyjypWsJ9yTnwmiqoc-DMGLc58k95VDO6Le8VUfaCMRD9ssO9O0KRnIY6n-KGX-KYfPS_7KjH_x15uJb1httTL5jrgAkHchM6cFaO6h2TnP3A7Z9PLOu7FpEw/s1600-h/image%25255B6%25255D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBAbhSXHUx3zbQW_GtEzeHoIdfOR57G7MXySoKpCDeJmWJqnZ0WgtaZCZlpbqpNk_z3FzKqBwqIcfXHkl71YDSy8_6yL4dXdMtsjT3iLvj_hhGUBvZXYDlZokvfwdeHV46NDpOJxgUpHw/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></a> 2. Distribute Surveys & Reminders Easy Distribution:  PILN sends emails that contains survey links, call-to-actions, and deadlines. PILN enables research leaders to see who has and has not taken the surveys and sends reminder emails to complete surveys.

Use the Report Insightful Results:  Once the survey window has closed, a report is generated and available to people who participated in the survey. The report measures elements of innovative teaching practices and compares educator and school leader responses. Below are a few examples of PILSR results. <ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Innovative Teaching Practices Index</li><li>Student Centered Pedagogy</li><li>Extending Learning Beyond the Classroom</li><li>ICT Used for Teaching and Learning by Educators</li><li>ICT Used for Teaching and Learning by Students</li><li>Barriers to Technology Use</li><li>Topics of Professional Development and Levels of Innovative Teaching Practices</li><li>Types of Professional Development and Levels of Innovative Teaching Practices</li><li>Collaboration among Educators</li><li>Incentives and Recognition for Innovative Teaching</li></ul>One page from the sample report which is attached via this link<a href="https://app.box.com/s/dv4nnms3f6t0pgptmnqc" target="_blank">Microsoft Partners in Learning School Research Report September 2013</a> <div style="text-indent: 48px;"> </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-670eQHvPozk1D9awM-fsZETEpBz_1JiJV_Yt3HXxz4-FivSF36S6OedaHIvQuizjQ0Ov7M4IV59DuRpf5eD5VSFRYujPmUYp4_2JYz41k-awItkv-EPpXatKcSWi32pimgOnNEt9Oww/s1600-h/image%25255B32%25255D.png" style="background-color: transparent; color: #7f7f7f; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhki1iZgbquLsYNjvtI8nDsx5WQLHxW5H_H-KqGZ1Jg4nNOBo5UYHq1XRFFNBXb-c2K1DTnzzxDWcznR4Ba-bIhdv7neYo5ss_b8nGHrK7IJ-OCLQZI5PopaSSufAuC58dxM_ViXB-jKO4/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></a> In what languages have the surveys, invitations and reports been localized? In addition to English, PILSR surveys and their corresponding report have been localized in the following languages: 1. Brazilian Portuguese 2. Polish 3. Finnish 4. Greek 5. Latvian 6. Lithuanian 7. Norwegian 8. Portuguese 9. Slovenian 10. Spanish 11. Russian 12. Swedish Action Items: 1. Countries who localized the surveys: a. Amplify in your social media channels, for example; <ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Schools can now measure their innovative teaching practices with this tool <a href="http://bit.ly/1bwXk5C">http://bit.ly/1bwXk5C</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23msftpil">#msftpil</a></li><li>New research tool supports schools to evolve teaching practices, provides tangible measures of innovation. <a href="http://bit.ly/1bwXk5C">http://bit.ly/1bwXk5C</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23msftpil">#msftpil</a></li></ul> b. Let schools know the tool is ready c. Continue to include PILSR in Shape the Future deals and the sales motion as a value-added tool 2. Countries who did not localize: a. If you are in a country where customers will be using PILSR with the Microsoft Translator, walk through the customer experience and suggest and approve better translations. Note that their reports can only be generated in English. FAQ 1. What will happen to the old version of PILSR? The old site is offline and the URL <a href="http://www.pilsr.com/">www.pilsr.com</a> will be redirected to <a href="http://www.pil-network.com/">www.pil-network.com</a>. 2. Will the old customer data be on PILN? No, for several reasons including that there is no way to tie the customer accounts together between the two systems because the sites used different authentication methods. 3. What if I would like to localize PILSR into an additional language for my country/region? We will look at the cost for each additional language and determine when the work could be done among other development efforts. 4. Where are there likely to be customer support issues with PILSR? <ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Schools often lock down their internet environments which prevents them from accessing many websites. If PILN is blocked, the invitations that are sent to take the survey may not be received. When this has happened in the past, schools simply email their IT departments who put <a href="http://www.pil-network.com/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">www.pil-network.com</a> on the “white list” and invitations can be resent.</li><li>School leaders can set up a survey in English and then translate the page using the Bing machine translator. However, the report they receive, will be in English. There is no way around this scenario, other than to localize the surveys and reports.</li></ul> 5. What happens if customers encounter issues with PILSR? As with any major, multi-lingual release, we expect to have to issues that we couldn’t foresee. Ask customers to email <a href="mailto:Contact-PILN@microsoft.com">Contact-PILN@microsoft.com</a>. Please let us know if you have questions.</div>
