The pitfalls of Web-based hookups
Netizens, especially women have more reason to heed Senior Supt. Patrocinio Comendador's counsel against turning up for a rendezvous with strangers they meet through Internet websites.
A 21-year-old woman from Liloan town in northern Cebu accused 66-year-old American Richard Dunn, whom she first encountered online, of raping her.
The two initially spoke with each other through a Web-based dating service that promotes Asian girls in search of partners and then agreed to meet at a fast food outlet in a Talisay City mall.
The American offered the woman a job and lured her to his place with the offer of an interview that never came to be. She said she ended up as his detainee and sexual prey.
This online social association gone awry is not the first to have drawn public notice.
More than a year ago, ABS-CBN director Ricky Rivero survived 17 stab wounds that a man he befriended on Facebook inflicted on him some time after they met.
Last June, agents of the National Bureau of Investigation collared a boy who posed as someone named "Yuri Kimberley."
"Yuri" had befriended a schoolmate through Facebook and requested the latter for a photo of himself in the nude. When the fellow teenager obliged, "Yuri" threatened to post the picture online if he did not pay him P15,000.
The NBI agents caught "Yuri" in an entrapment operation at an undisclosed school.
"The youthful offender faces charges of violation of Republic Act 7610 or the Anti-Child Abuse Act and extortion in the city prosecutor's office," the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported, "but was entrusted to the care of his parents because of his minor age."
While the Internet is a force for social cohesion, a user cannot afford to be so naive as to associate alone with someone befriended online.
Even if one can give every cyber Tom, Dick and Harry the respect that every human being deserves, ascribing angelic intentions to all of them is an erroneous generalization.
How many cases similar to the Liloan woman's, Rivero's or the Manila teenage boy's have occurred beyond the radar of the authorities?
Victims of Internet-aided crime should speak out before more people, especially our vulnerable women and children are consigned to their ranks.
Entrepreneurs who own Internet cafes must take it upon themselves to post warning signs in their establishments against getting cozy with chat partners who may have vile intentions.
If meeting them is inevitable, it ought to be in plain public sight and with older friends who can stand by as loyal shields.

Sammy Studios has today announced that it will release Drift Racer: Kaido Battle for the PlayStation 2 in February 2004. The game, which is currently in development at Genki, will feature more than 150 licensed cars and is inspired by the now legitimate sport of drift racing. The sport itself started out as an underground race form where drivers would perform precision powerslides on the treacherous mountain roads of Japan known as the Kaido.
"Drift racing brings together automotive technology and human skill to create a thrilling new form of racing," said Tim Pivnicny, senior VP of sales and marketing at Sammy Studios. "Drift Racer: Kaido Battle captures all the important elements needed to re-create that thrill in a video game. Licensed cars and parts, authentic tracks, and various modes, including a career mode that lets players evolve from the underground into the pro ranks, make this the ultimate experience for all racing-game fans."
Drift Racer: Kaido Battle will feature five gameplay modes in total and will allow players to compete in both official daytime events and illegal nighttime races. All of the cars in the game will be customizable to some degree, and the dozen or so manufacturers represented in the game include Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Mazda, and Volkswagen. We'll bring you more information on Drift Racer: Kaido Battle as soon as it becomes available.

We use an excellent Laser/Intense Pulsed Light machine called Quantum, made by Lumenis, to treat Rosacea and thread veins.The most important requirement for Laser/IPL treatment is that the treatment area must be untanned, so we recommend using SPF of at least 30 (preferably 50) on the area for at least 6 weeks before and during treatment.A course of 3-4 treatments is usually necessary to obtain good results, about 4 weeks apart, and we provide the 4th free of charge, if it is necessary.As Rosacea is a chronic problem, it is sometimes necessary to increase the number of treatments and have top up sessions intermittently should it flare up.

Jason Grilli Rumors
Quick Hits: Yankees, Grilli, Tomko, Rays
It may be a bit early, but Jim Bowden of ESPN.com (Insider sub. req'd) grades everyone's offseason to date in the American League. The Yankees get a B+ for holding firm in the Robinson Cano negotiations and the A's get an A for their acquisitions of Craig Gentry, Luke Gregerson, and Jim Johnson. Teams like the Indians, Blue Jays, and Orioles, on the other hand, will need to do more if they want better marks from Bowden. Here's this afternoon's look around baseball..
- Pirates closer Jason Grilli says he would like extend his contract, tweets Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (on Twitter). Grilli, who inked a two-year, $6.75MM deal with the Bucs last offseason, posted a 2.70 ERA with 13.3 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9 in 54 appearances last season. The 37-year-old is represented by Gary Sheffield, as shown in the MLBTR Agency Database.
- Brett Tomko is pitching in the Dominican Republic and throwing 92-94 MPH, Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports (on Twitter). The 40-year-old is seeking a minor league deal with big-league invite. Tomko last appeared in the majors in 2011 when he made eight relief appearances for the Rangers.
- R.J. Anderson, Ben Lindbergh and Bret Sayre of Baseball Prospectus weighed in on the Rays' re-signing of James Loney. The two sides agreed to a three-year, $21MM deal this week.
- The Rockies are optimistic after a productive start to the offseason, writes Tracy Ringolsby of MLB.com.

NL Central Links: Soriano, Lohse, Gallardo, Grilli
The Cubs continued their trajectory as baseball's most active team on the trade front this morning when they officially traded Alfonso Soriano and $17.7MM to the Yankees in exchange for right-hander Corey Black. The deal saves the Cubs roughly $6.8MM and brings a power arm that was selected in the fourth round of last year's draft into their system. Here's more on Soriano and the rest of the NL Central…
- Soriano told Gordon Wittenymyer of the Chicago Sun-Times that he believes another team would've beaten the eight-year, $136MM contract he signed with the Cubs back in 2006. At least one team told Soriano's agent to give them a chance to beat any offer, but Soriano decided that he wanted the opportunity to join the storied history of the Cubs and bring a championship to Chicago.
- While Brewers GM Doug Melvin recently turned away an inquiry on Kyle Lohse, another Brewers-connected person implied to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports that Lohse could be had for the right package of prospects.
- Within that same piece, one GM provided a long list of reasons that Yovani Gallardo isn't drawing interest. Gallardo's velocity is down, he's owed $15MM through 2014 and he also comes with off-the-field baggage in the form of a DUI arrest earlier this season.
- The Pirates announced today that Jason Grilli has a flexor strain in his right arm. He is not a candidate for surgery, which is good news for the Bucs, but he will still miss four to eight weeks. Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports tweets that the Pirates become more active in the bullpen trade market.
- Reds general manager Walt Jocketty told MLB.com's Mark Sheldon that he has had a lot of conversations but nothing substantial. The Reds would like to add a right-handed bat but feel they can wait until Ryan Ludwick returns from the disabled list. They have a similar stance on waiting for Johnny Cueto, Sean Marshall and Jonathan Broxton.

East Links: Grilli, Cano, Webster, Rendon
A pair of top prospects made their big league debuts yesterday, as Allen Webster started the second game of a double-header for the Red Sox and Anthony Rendon made his debut at third base for the Nationals with Ryan Zimmerman on the DL. Here's more on each, as well as some other news from baseball's Eastern divisions…
- Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer chronicles Jason Grilli's ascension from the Phillies' Triple-A affiliate to Pirates closer. In 2011, the Phils called up six relievers instead of Grilli, despite his dominant numbers. Grilli had a clause in his contract stating that if another MLB team wanted him on their 25-man roster, the Phillies had to either call him up or release him. Pittsburgh scouts took notice of Grilli, called the Phillies, and Philadelphia elected to release him so he could sign with the Buccos.
- Sonia Cruz, the spokeswoman for Robinson Cano's foundation, appeared in the latest round of Biogenesis documents, according to TJ Quinn and Mike Fish of ESPN. Cruz's name was only connected to a pair of $300 payments, which she said were for her own weight loss interests. Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News reports that MLB sources told him there was no link between Cano and Biogenesis. When he heard about the latest report, a surprised Cano told reporters, including Feinsand, "It's got nothing to do with me."
- Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal examines the number of starting pitchers needed by the Red Sox in each season over the past decade and notes that the evidence suggests Webster will be back this season. MacPherson also adds that preliminary research indicates this is the earliest the Red Sox have ever turned to seven different starting pitchers in any season.
- The timing of Rendon's call-up suggests that the Nationals may be more willing to let him remain with the club all season than they've let on, writes Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post. Kilgore points out that Rendon has spent 20 days in the minor leagues, meaning his free agency has been delayed by a full year now.
- Jake Arrieta is at a crossroads with the Orioles, in the mind of the Baltimore Sun's Dan Connolly. At 27 years of age, Arrieta has passed the "prospect" stage but has yet to find the consistency to convert his above-average repertoire of pitches into consistent success. Connolly notes that it's not wise to trade someone with Arrieta's talent while his value is so low, but moving him to the bullpen hardly maximizes his value.
- Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that the Jay-Z's cerficiation process won't be complete anytime soon (Twitter link). As expected, CAA's Brodie Van Wagenen will handle Robinson Cano's extension talks.

Pirates Notes: Walker, Grilli
Earlier today the Pirates extended manager Clint Hurdle through the 2014 season. Hurdle's contract contains an option for the 2015 season as well. Here's more news on the Buccos for your Monday reading pleasure…
- Neil Walker could be the next Pirate in line for a contract extension, writes Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Pirates president Frank Coonelly said an extension for Walker was "absolutely" a possibility and called the second baseman part of the team's core going forward.
- Despite Coonelly's comments, Walker told Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports that he's not aware of any recent conversations between his agent and the Pirates about a long-term deal (Twitter link). Walker is client of Hendricks Sports, as shown in MLBTR's Agency Database.
- More from Morosi, who tweets that Jason Grilli's final contract decision came down to the Pirates, Blue Jays and Cubs. All three teams offered similar deals, but Grilli elected to return to Pittsburgh on a two-year, $6.75MM contract.

Quick Hits: Livan, Grilli, Swisher, Hairston, Rangers
Condolences go out to the family and friends of former Major League utility man Ryan Freel. The 36-year-old was found dead at his home today after taking his own life according to Chad Cushnir of First Coast News and MLB.com's Mark Sheldon. Freel spent most of his career with the Reds, though he also suited up for the Blue Jays, Royals, Cubs, and Orioles.
Here's the latest from around the league as Saturday turns into Sunday…
- Livan Hernandez told MLB.com's Bill Ladson that he plans to play in 2013 (Twitter link). The 37-year-old right-hander posted a 6.42 ERA in 67 1/3 relief innings for the Braves and Brewers last season.
- Jason Grilli will take over as closer for the Pirates following the Joel Hanrahan trade according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (Twitter links). Heyman notes the right-hander does not have any bonuses based on games finished in his new contract.
- Nick Swisher is giving "serious consideration" to the four-year, $52MM offer from the Indians according to ESPN's Jim Bowden (on Twitter). The switch-hitting outfielder prefers the Dodgers, Angels, or Yankees though.
- The Phillies, Braves, Mets, and Yankees are among the teams still in play for Scott Hairston, reports Heyman (on Twitter). Heyman says the Yankees may be at a disadvantage because they already have three starting outfielders.
- In today's Insider-only blog post, ESPN's Buster Olney says the Rangers should not overreact and drastically alter their plan after failing to land several top targets this offseason.
Pirates Sign Jason Grilli
The Pirates announced that they have signed free agent reliever Jason Grilli to a two-year deal. The sides agreed to a two-year, $6.75MM contract, Scott Miller and Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reported (on Twitter links). Former MLB player Gary Sheffield represents the 36-year-old right-hander.
Grilli enjoyed tremendous success in the Pirates' bullpen from 2011-12. He posted a 2.91 ERA with 13.8 K/9, 3.4 BB.9 and a 30.7% ground ball rate in 58 2/3 innings for Pittsburgh this past season and earned $1.1MM. Grilli ranked 33rd on MLBTR's list of top 50 free agents.
Grilli's fastball averaged 93.6 mph this past season, his top velocity since 2007. He generated swinging strikes 14.4% of the time, a career high. Not surprisingly, Grilli's strikeout rate increased yet again in 2012, when he struck out 90 of the 244 batters he faced.
The Cubs, Blue Jays and Giants were among the finalists for Grilli, Peter Gammons of MLB Network reported last week. The ten-year veteran turned down slightly bigger offers elsewhere to stay in Pittsburgh, Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com reports (on Twitter). Grilli turned down a more lucrative deal from the Blue Jays, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports (Twitter link).

Contract Details: Grilli, Wright
Details about some recent multiyear deals from around MLB…
- Under the terms of his new deal with the Pirates, Jason Grilli will earn a $500K signing bonus, $2.25MM in 2013 and $4MM in 2014, Michael Sanserino of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports (on Twitter). In total, the Gary Sheffield client obtains $6.75MM over two years.
- Anthony DiComo of MLB.com has the year-by-year breakdown of David Wright's eight-year, $138MM contract extension with the Mets. Wright will earn $11MM in 2013 and his salary increases to $20MM in 2014. The deal also includes incentives, which DiComo details.

Jason Grilli Close To Deal
10:24am: It will be a two-year deal and the Giants are out, tweets Rosenthal. Pirates GM Neal Huntington said today that they made a "very fair offer" to Grilli.
THURSDAY, 8:28am: Grilli will decide between the Cubs, Blue Jays, Giants, and Pirates at 10am today, or earlier if one of the teams goes to three years on the 36-year-old, tweets Peter Gammons of MLB Network. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports says Grilli will stay in Pittsburgh if no one adds the third year.
WEDNESDAY, 4:38pm: Grilli is still wading through all the offers presented to him, Sheffield told MLB.com's Tom Singer. The Brewers haven't talked with Sheffield this week, GM Doug Melvin told reporters.
12:42pm: If Grilli is close to a deal, it's not with the Brewers, tweets Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
10:50am: Jason Grilli's agent, former MLB slugger Gary Sheffield, tells Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe (Twitter link) that he's nearing a deal for his client. However, Sheffield didn't reveal which team was closing in on Grilli.
As Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review notes, Grilli is expected to choose from nearly a dozen suitors today, with the Pirates still in the mix. The right-hander figures to land a multiyear contract.

Heyman On Choo, Cabrera, Red Sox, Grilli, Marcum
Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com has been sharing a few Winter Meetings nuggets on this Twitter feed this morning, so let's dive right in and round them up (all links go to Twitter)….
- Heyman classifies both Shin-Soo Choo and Asdrubal Cabrera as very available, as the Indians search for long-term assets.
- The Red Sox are very active this week and are willing to discuss anyone, even Jacoby Ellsbury and Jon Lester.
- Ten teams are in on Jason Grilli, as the market for the right-handed reliever heats up. Grilli tweeted early this morning that he was heading for Nashville and has a "full day" on tap.
- The Royals are "one of many" teams looking at Shaun Marcum, who is a Kansas City product.

Free Agent Rumors: Hannahan, Ibanez, Saito, Nakajima
We rounded up one set of free agent rumors earlier in the day, but as we approach late afternoon in Nashville, it's about time for a fresh batch….
- Recently non-tendered third baseman Jack Hannahan has a big league offer from an AL Central team, tweets Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It could be the Twins, who met with his rep yesterday according to Phil Mackey of ESPN 1500.
- The Mariners contacted Raul Ibanez's agent, tweets Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times.
- Shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima seeks a three-year deal, tweets Yahoo's Jeff Passan, but teams are hesitant.
- Takashi Saito, who turns 43 in February, would like to pitch another year in the U.S., tweets Yahoo's Tim Brown.
- The Mets have considered the idea of signing Mark Reynolds to play in the outfield, but his price tag may be too high for their liking, tweets Ken Davidoff of the New York Post.
- Davidoff also tweets that the Yankees have met with Eric Chavez's agent at the Winter Meetings and expressed an interest in bringing back Chavez.
- Brewers manager Ron Roenicke tells Jim Bowden on MLB Network Radio that the Brewers have "definite interest" in Jason Grilli, but only at a reasonable price (Twitter link). Milwaukee continues to seek both starters and relievers, but doesn't have the money to make a play for someone like Anibal Sanchez or Kyle Lohse, says Scott Miller of CBSSports.com (via Twitter).
- Jeremy Bonderman, who is attempting a comeback, could have a deal in place by the weekend, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter).

GForce4 MX440 SE with Linux
Hi there.
I am running a P4 2.4, 256 MB RAM, with Slackware 9.0
I have a gforce 4 mx440 se, and downloaded the drivers for linux, so i would be able to use it effectavely. I managed to compile it for my kernel(2.4.20) fine. When I try to use it, X starts, and the nvidia logo comes up, and then the system hangs!!!!
the only time I ever get any info in my X Log files, is when i set logverbose to 5. The problem is also that the Log files, and normally my config file comes out very garbled when I reset my PC.
When I start up my PC it tells me that I have the gforce 4 MX440 SE, but when I run lspci it reports a gforce MX440. Could this be the problem, if so how do I force the module to use the SE files rather than the standard ones??
Thanks a lot
what is the chipset of your motherboard ?
what lspci report about your AGP ? unknow device ?

Given Goodman's fiscally conservative streak, it's likely that the post will be hers for as long as she wants it. But it's unclear how long Goodman wants to stay in her job. She professes no desire to be mayor--it would be a step down in power--but she hints that she might not remain in office much longer.
"These have been the best years of my life," Goodman says. "But I could make three times what I'm making in the private sector. I gave a shot at public service. But people like me could get a job doing 20 other things."

Take in a Canadian Football League game
I have only been to a handful of professional baseball and ice hockey games in my life but no football games at all. That came to an end on a recent Saturday night when I received a short-notice telephone call inviting me to attend a Canadian Football League game that was to be played in Regina, starting in less than an hour! The company I work for had tickets for several games to keep its clients amused and one of the tickets would be going to waste if I chose not to attend.
It did not take me long to get organized and arrive at the 28,800-capacity Mosaic Stadium, shown here and built in 1927 for the local team - the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Their opponents on this evening were the Montreal Alouettes but all the cheering in the stands by the locals wearing their 'Rider Green' outfits was for the Roughriders (2nd photo).
Earlier in the day, I had BBQed some steaks on my deck while a brief thunder and lightning storm passed over the city, but luckily it continued on its way eastward by the time the game was underway (3rd photo). I really enjoyed the fresh 17 C outdoor atmosphere while watching the live action.
The CFL was officially formed in 1958, but can trace its roots back to rugby teams dating from the 1860s. The Saskatchewan Roughriders have played in the CFL since its beginning and have won the Grey Cup trophy three times - the most recent being the previous season when they defeated their arch-rivals, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. As it happened, I had returned from a job in Brandon, Manitoba only the day before and took a photo of the triumphant sign celebrating the Roughriders as we left Manitoba (4th photo). On this evening, the Alouettes gave the Roughriders a good run for their money but came up on the short-end of a 41-33 score in an exciting game! Tickets cost about $42 and beers are $5 each.
Saskatchewan Roughriders -Canadian Football League
I wasn't lucky enough to be in Regina during the football season but apparently the city goes pretty crazy when the Roughriders are playing so I highly recommend getting tickets to a game if you can (from June to November), especially if they're playing against my Montreal Alouettes ;o)

Dolphins | Jay Ajayi to compete for starting RB?
Mon, 25 May 2015 12:40:31 -0700
Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi is considered the No. 2 running back at this point and could potentially challenge RB Lamar Miller for the starting running back position.
Fantasy Tip: Miller had a solid 2014 campaign, so Ajayi would really need to impress this offseason in order to take the starting role away from Miller. It could very well end up being a running back by committee deal in Miami this season, but Miller is still the running back to own in Miami. He has RB2 potential if he maintains his status as the Dolphins' No. 1 running back.

Dolphins | Ryan Tannehill contract breakdown
Thu, 21 May 2015 09:09:51 -0700
Updating previous reports, Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill will earn $12.2 million in 2015, but only $745,000 of it will be in base salary. His 2016 base salary of $9.34 million is fully guaranteed. In 2017, the Dolphins will have five days into the league year to decide whether to fully guarantee his $17.47 million base salary, which essentially gives the Dolphins an opt-out if Tannehill struggles to meet expectations over the next two seasons. His contract contains no guaranteed money in 2019 and 2020, other than the prorated signing bonus in Year 5, so Miami could save $17 million in 2019 and $18 million in 2020 by releasing him.
Fantasy Tip: The Miami Herald's Armando Salguero said Dolphins executives looked at him like he had a horn growing out of his forehead when he asked what happens if Tannehill flops, which illustrates how much confidence the organization has in their young passer. Tannehill's 2015 season could get off to a rocky start with all of the offensive turnover possibly needing more time build chemistry, but there's no denying his new receiving corps is more explosive than the 2014 cast. He is a fringe QB1.

Dolphins | Lamar Miller entering contract year
Wed, 20 May 2015 08:57:54 -0700
Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller enters the final year of his rookie contract and is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2016, according to Spotrac.com. Miller appears poised to headline the free-agent running back class with another strong season and could be playing for a big contract.
Fantasy Tip: Miller looks to build on a strong 2014 campaign and is the lead horse in South Beach. He added roughly seven pounds of muscle this offseason and stands to benefit from an improved supporting cast. He's a sneaky buy as a high-upside RB1 if you like to go with early wide receivers in drafts.

Dolphins | Ryan Tannehill extended 4 years
Mon, 18 May 2015 16:23:49 -0700
Clarifying a previous story, Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill's new deal includes four new contract years and up to $77 million in new money. The deal is worth $95.27 million over six total years, with options for 2015 and 2016 added in.

Dolphins | Ryan Tannehill financials
Mon, 18 May 2015 13:26:52 -0700
Updating a previous report, Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill received a six-year, $96 million extension Monday, May 18, according to a source. The extension includes $45 million guaranteed.

Dolphins | Ryan Tannehill signs extension
Mon, 18 May 2015 13:13:01 -0700
Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill signed an extension through the 2020 season Monday, May 18. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Fantasy Tip: Tannehill isn't exactly a top-tier fantasy quarterback, but this is a hefty extension for the young quarterback coming off a career year. With guys like Jarvis Landry, Kenny Stills, Greg Jennings and Jordan Cameron at his disposal, he's safely in the top-15 fantasy quarterback conversation.

Dolphins | Jay Ajayi says he is fine
Sun, 10 May 2015 07:08:57 -0700
Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi said he feels great and there is nothing wrong with his knee. Head coach Joe Philbin said Ajayi will be given opportunities to prove his value to the team during offseason workouts.
Fantasy Tip: Ajayi likely will start the season as the primary backup running back that sees some playing time during games. Ajayi could see playing time as a third-down back initially. He probably should not be an option until near the end of the drafts as a handcuff to Lamar Miller or depth at running back.

Dolphins | DeVante Parker doing well at workouts
Sun, 10 May 2015 06:59:05 -0700
Miami Dolphins WR DeVante Parker made several impressive catches during practice Saturday, May 9. Parker has showed fluid movement in his routes and has made several difficult catches during the rookie minicamp.
Fantasy Tip: Parker should have a solid role in the passing game in 2015 and may have the chance to start as a rookie. Parker probably will be an option in late rounds of drafts next season but could have the chance to be more of a factor on a fantasy team.

Tuesday, February 12, 2013
So after a week of being off from the gym i finally went back yesterday. I said i was going to hit the gym hard, but then i got to thinking...i have not been to the gym in a week and my body might not be to happy, so i decided to take it slow. So instead of doing a whole 30 mins on the treadmill (like i would normally do) i did 20, at a 4.7 mph run on 1.0 incline just to see how my body would react after being off for 7days. Turns out, i could have gone alot longer and would have been fine. My body does not hurt, and feels fantastic. So i think today after i get off of work, i will go back to my normal times. I think i will even do some of the 30 min circuit traning to. Im looking forward to tonights workout when i get off work. its not often you look forward to working up a sweat, but i quite enjoy it. I like how i feel once its over with, i feel like i can do just about anything. I feel strong and healthy and its a wonderful feeling. I can see so many changes in my body already in the last month and a half. I have lost 10 lbs so far and feels awesome. i have not had any pop or sugary drinks of any kind. I dont crave them at all. My jeans are starting to fall off of me, and my shirts are getting larger. My waist line looks and feels smaller. My thighs are not as huge as they used to be. My arms are shrinking my neck line is smaller. For once i am actually forward to summer and the warm months ahead. :)

This module takes students beyond standard clinical training by focussing on a deeper understanding of important chronic conditions in several specialities. It is taught by world experts, mostly from ICH or GOS. Topics covered in earlier years have included Oncology - late effects in oncology; difficult epilepsy; chronic headache; inherited cardiovascular disease and ECG abnormalities; safeguarding; dermatology; hypertension; aspects of palliative care; metabolic syndrome; sleep disorders; somatisation in children and adolescents; and the neuro-disability spectrum.
Comments from previous students:
- High quality speakers, interesting topics and great selection of topics to cover a few things I hadn't thought about or had the chance to revise and improve on in a while.
- Very interesting lectures in general by people clearly experts in their field. Good selection of topics with wide relevance to general paediatrics, thus increasing my knowledge base (much of what was taught can never be found in textbooks/ journals)
- Interesting; Broad scope of subjects; Challeges current management
- Wide variety of subject areas that are commonly seen in practice, great expertise in areas covered, well organised
- The hospital I was working was a small one, and during my training I did not receive enough teaching on chronic conditions. Finally I realised through this module that caring for children with chronic diseases is much more difficult. Thank you very much for the excellent organisation of this module and for the high quality of the presentations done by brilliant doctors.

This module aims to enable participants to recognise and develop the attributes of a good medical teacher; gain great knowledge of teaching and learning processes; plan effective teaching; develop practical skills and techniques to become more effective educators and; maximise teaching opportunities in the clinic or on the ward.
Using a combination of interactive distance learning and face-to-face lectures this module will provide participants with an up to date knowledge of teaching and learning practice in medical education. Participants will be introduced to the theoretical underpinnings of teaching and learning (drawing on medical education research and the wider educational community) in addition to covering basic teaching skills in medical education, skills for teaching in clinical settings and teaching large groups. Participants will be required to participate in one online virtual seminar, prepare and deliver one teaching session, and submit one written assignment reflecting on their understanding of teaching practice.
Module Learning Outcomes
Participants will develop skills that enable them to:
- Plan and organise a teaching session in any setting
- Use methods that help students become active participants
- Formulate objectives appropriate to own teaching setting
- Formulate questions that promote thinking
- Apply these principles to timetabled and opportunistic clinical teaching
- Teach clinical skills in a structured way that enhances learning
- Adopt teaching practices that encourage clinical reasoning
- Describe techniques for promoting interaction in both large and small groups
- Select appropriate support materials for both large and small group teaching
- Evaluate their own teaching behaviour
- Reflect on and use feedback on their teaching skills to develop future practice
Mode of Delivery
This module will be delivered primarily through a VLE (Moodle 2). This approach combines educational methods that encourage self-directed learning, reflection on personal experience, critical thinking and access to extensive online resources. This will enable students to engage in collaborative learning and to be in regular contact with module tutors for a high level of academic support.
During this module participants will work through course materials and readings, undertake directed learning activities and participate in a two week asynchronous virtual seminar. This will build the foundations for their assessed teaching session and reflective assignment.
One full teaching day (7 hours) comprising three and hours of lectures followed by four hours of small group work will take place. Participants will build on their work in the VLE to plan and deliver a teaching session. This teaching session will be observed and assessed by module tutors.
