Death of the Aurora
As anyone who has completed the ICAEW's Knowledge Stage will tell you, the Aurora SC582 is utter pants. Amazon's reviews are usually split on opinion bit in the case of this product they are fairly united (here). Anon's review just about sums it up:
Back on topic, yesterday I completed the last of my Knowledge stage exams (which I passed, woo!). This means there is no requirement to use this waste of space EVER again. Inspired from events earlier in the day I decided to put the calculator to it's best use yet, an extra curricular electronics experiment. Unfortunately I don't have access to useful tools such as a soldering iron so my tools were screwdrivers, pen knife, and sticky tape!
After fiddling for several minutes I was able to extract the circuit board from the case in one piece. I then, as carefully as possible, tried to rewire the power supply back together with the sticky tape. This was significantly less than ideal. The contacts were only firm enough to power the screen while I was holding them. Shame. Regardless, I got a couple of pictures showing the calculator powered on and performing (very) simple calculations.
My plan was then to reassemble the calculator with a couple of buttons out of place, unfortunately due to the very weak original soldering one of the battery adapters fell off. I was able to re-expose the cable and tried to sticky tape this to the adapter. This however, was unsuccessful. Probably due to lack of pressure between the wire and adapter. By this time, I had spent too long fiddling and got bored... so I emptied the contents of the case all over the desk
My work here is complete.

Playing with flash controls
Recently, I've been playing with 2nd shutter sync. This simply means the camera flashes at the end of an exposure instead of at the beginning. This lends itself perfectly for capturing motion on longer exposures then effectively freezing the subject at its last position.
A few weeks ago I entered an ICAEW student photo competition:
I decided to use this technique to make it look like I was writing quickly while working on a set of accounts. Unfortunately I didn't win, I lost to a (admittedly well shot) picture of three meerkats titled Safety in Numbers. Regardless, I'm pleased with my entry:
While out of the country, relaxing in Spain, I continued my experimentation with 2nd shutter sync. This time instead of capturing the final position of a movement as above I tried something a little different...
Playing in Spain
I've seen loads of photos taken where people use a light and a long exposure to create patterns or words in the image. I've even done it myself:
The problem with these photos is you don't see who is behind the pattern or the text. In Spain, I combined this interesting type of photo with the 2nd shutter sync to capture the people behind the photo, in the same exposure. Obviously this can be done with photoshop and I have compared the final result for the two methods below.
All of the following are single exposure images.
Due the limited creativity of those involved (myself included) there were no interesting pictures, only names and usernames to be seen, but at least everyone could introduce them in their own way! Apart from the Bez image (which has had the light colour altered) they have only had very basic adjustments made, such as brightness and colour balance etc
These look like they could have been made using composite imagery. As promised, I tried that too:
This is made up of 4 images. Due to the significantly shorter exposure times the body is more clearly visible in the four sections, "person", "Jake", "#" and "11". While there are benefits to creating the image in this way (such as easy retakes of particular sections), the finished product feels less authentic.
IR and Faux HDR Panorama
Another bank holiday, another excuse to break out the geeky camera equipment. This time it's the panoramic tripod head and the new IR filter.
Navigate the three panoramic images above using the highlighted hotspots. There is a faux colour IR shot of the garden, a night edit version of the same photo and a faux HDR (single raw image) of a kitchen.
Find the actual photos over at Flickr, here.
Playing with IR photography
I recently bought an IR filter in order to experiment with IR photography. The Green.L 760nm IR filter from amazon marketplace. Today with the sun out, I decided to give it a go.
What makes IR photography different?
By blocking visible light with the lens filter, you allow the camera to pick up normally invisible Infra-red light. This 'new' light makes grass and leaves show up bright white explaining the snowy appearance of the photos. As a result of blocking all the blue, green and almost all of the red light, the photos are technically monochromatic (one hue). The images appear red and white directly from the camera.
With channel mixing you can swap the red and blue making the images look a little more natural. Alternatively you can go down the faux colour route, making up your own colours for everything!
I created some Adobe Lightroom presets for the two faux colour shots, Lightroom IR Presets.
Gallery also viewable on Flickr.

Aunt Clara
this wiki
|Aunt Clara
|First Appearance:
|The Witches Are Out
|Last Appearance:
|Samantha's Secret Saucer
|Actor's death
|Marion Lorne
|Episode Count:
|Sat on a witches committee that tested Tabitha's powers
| Maurice (brother)
Endora (sister-in-law)
Samantha Stephens (niece)
Tabitha Stephens (great niece)
Adam Stephens (great nephew)
|Significant Other(s):
|Ocky (boyfriend)
Aunt Clara is Samantha's ever loveable, but bumbling and forgetful aunt. She also has the distinct recognition of being one of the few of Samantha's relatives that Darrin actually liked. She was constantly causing problems when she used her magic, as her magic didn't work as she intended. After each blunder, she would forget the spell and Sam and Darrin would have to work long and hard at getting the problem resolved so that no one, especially Gladys Kravitz, discovered that magic was at work. Aunt Clara was notable for falling down the Stephens' chimney with a handbag full of doorknobs.
Although Aunt Clara was Samantha's favorite aunt, we never find out how the two are related -- on Endora's side or Maurice's. The major problem is that the writers never decided how Clara was related to Samantha. The only relatives of Samantha that is known for certain are: her mother, Endora; her father, Maurice, her Uncle Arthur (Endora's younger brother); her daughter, Tabitha; and her son, Adam. Other relatives are Bertha, Aunt Hagatha, Aunt Enchantra. But like Aunt Clara, we don't know how these aunts are related to Samantha. Some fans insist that Hagatha and Enchantra were Endora's sisters. But in an episode, Endora says she was an only child until Arthur was born. Samantha also has several cousins mentioned in the show. One cousin is Sabrina, who says she's cousins to Samantha on her father's side. But we have no idea of who Maurice's siblings may be because they are never mentioned. There's also Cousin Henry, who most fans assume is cousins to Samantha because he is Uncle Arthur's son. The only reasons some fans believe this is because Samantha asks Cousin Henry how Uncle Arthur is doing. It's also obvious that Cousin Henry is a joker and trickster, similar to that of Uncle Arthur. However, Uncle Arthur never mentions a wife...or even Henry.

It is rather quaint that the schoolboys of Sherborne are taking their roles as future family breadwinners so seriously (Letters, 19 May). Before getting too disheartened, I would advise Isaacson to do a quick poll of the sixth-form girls at Sherborne. He may well find that plenty of girls not only do not relish the prospect of being supported, but are also willing to contribute to the cost of raising kids. After all, we are supposed to be encouraging more girls to become scientists too, are we not?

Emmerdale, known as Emmerdale Farm until 1989, is a British soap opera that has aired on ITV since 1972. Set in the fictional village of Emmerdale (known as Beckindale until 1994) in West Yorkshire, England, the show was created by Kevin Laffan, with Keith Richardson serving as Executive Producer since 1986 and Anita Turner as Series Producer from January 2008. Her first produced episode aired on Monday March 3, 2008.
Emmerdale is the third most popular soap opera on British television, behind Coronation Street and EastEnders. The series is produced by Yorkshire Television and broadcast on the ITV network, and was first aired on 16 October 1972. It was originally conceived and broadcast as a daytime programme in an afternoon slot, moving to its current position as an early evening programme in 1978 in most ITV regions. Anglia and Thames followed suit in the 1980s. Emmerdale is shown from Monday to Friday at 19:00 on ITV. Every episode lasts 30 minutes, except the Tuesday edition, which lasts one hour. Repeat episodes and the omnibus of the show can be seen on ITV2.
October 2007 saw Emmerdale celebrate its 35th anniversary in dramatic style with a huge explosion ripping through Annie's Cottage caused by Victoria Sugden pouring petrol over the furniture after demanding to know who had killed her mother Sarah Sugden, seven years previously. In June 2008, Emmerdale celebrated its 5000th episode with the marriage of Eric Pollard and Val Lambert.
The basic premise of Emmerdale Farm was very similar to the BBC radio soap opera The Archers - focusing on a family, a farm, and characters in a nearby village.
The farmyard filming techniques of Emmerdale Farm were originally modelled on the revolutionary soap-opera The Riordans, made by RTÉ, Ireland's broadcaster, from the mid-1960s to the end of the 70s. The Riordans broke new ground for soap operas by being filmed largely out of doors (on a farm owned, in the storyline, by Tom and Mary Riordan), rather than, as was the norm in British and American soap operas, being almost totally shot in studios (even 'outdoor' scenes were sometimes filmed indoors). The Riordans pioneered farmyard location shooting, with real farm animals, and actors driving tractors. In the 1960s and 1970s, outdoor filming of television programmes using OBUs (Outdoor Broadcast Units) was in its infancy, due to the far higher costs involved, and the reliance on things like the weather that were out of the control of the programme makers.
The success of The Riordans showed that a soap opera could be filmed largely out of doors. Yorkshire Television sent people to The Riordans set in County Meath, Ireland to see the making of the programme at first hand.
Josh's grandson Joseph married Margaret and they had a son Jacob. In the 1930s, Jacob Sugden supposedly purchased Emmerdale Farm for his family. In 1945 he married Annie Pearson - daughter of farm labourer Sam Pearson.
Jacob had run the farm into the ground, as he had drunk away most of the profits, leaving it in a sorry state. It was badly maintained, and the future of the farm looked bleak at the time of Jacob's death on the October 10 1972.
Jacob left a wife Annie and three grown children, two sons, Jack (the eldest) and Joe (the youngest of the three), and daughter Peggy. These characters would form the basis of the series Emmerdale Farm.
The first episode of Emmerdale Farm opened with the funeral of Jacob Sugden on the October 16 1972.
Jacob had upset the family by leaving the farm to his eldest son, Jack, who had not been seen since 1964 when, at the age of 18, he left his family, heritage and Beckindale - for London.
Jack Sugden returned to the farm in this opening episode, although he chose to stay away from the funeral - making his presence known only after the service, when the Sugdens returned to their home, Emmerdale Farm - where they found him waiting for them.
The first lines uttered in this first episode were spoken by Peggy Skilbeck:
"Matt, who's she?"
Peggy was referring to Marian Wilks who was watching the funeral cortege whilst out riding.
The Wilks' proved to be new to the village; Marion's father Henry Wilks was a wealthy businessman.
In subsequent months, Jack sold a share of the Farm to Annie, Joe, Peggy and his grandfather Sam Pearson. Emmerdale Farm Ltd was formed after Henry Wilks bought Sam's share of the estate.
The first episode was repeated on Granada Plus on January 1 2000.
Subsequent earlier episodes from the 1970s and 1980's have been aired on Granada Plus, and Sky Soap.
As well as the plane crash storyline, there have been several other major storylines, including the famous storm of 2003, the Kings River explosion of 2006, the Tom King kidnapping of 2006, and the murder of Tom King on Christmas Day, 2006.
Emmerdale is extremely well known for the number of disasters and dramatic stunts it has featured over the years. The most notable disasters are listed below.
The original Emmerdale Farm buildings are near the village of Leathley. Creskeld Hall (Home Farm) is one of the few original filming locations used in the entire run of the series and has been involved in many storylines.
From 1998 a purpose-built set on the Harewood estate is used, building on the Harewood estate started in 1996. The first scenes shot in the purpose-built set on the Harewood Estate were broadcast on February 17 1998, from the front of the Woolpack (although some scenes were shot there from 1997).
The houses in the new village at Harewood are timber framed structures covered in stone cladding. The village is built on green belt land so all the buildings are classed as "temporary structures" and must be demolished within ten years unless new planning permission is given. There is no plan to demolish the set and new planning has now been drawn up. Although no church was built on the Harewood set, there is a churchyard full of gravestones, some of them for the characters who have died in the serial.
Butlers Farm is really Brookland Farm, a working farm, located in the nearby village of Eccup. Brookland Farm is where all the external, farmyard and buildings shots are filmed with the internal house shots being filmed in the studio.
Location footage of the fictional market town of Hotten is shot in Otley. The Benton Park School in Rawdon and the primary school in Farnley are also used as shooting locations. Indoor scenes are mostly filmed in the Emmerdale production centre in Leeds (located next to the main YTV building).
Filming in Belfast has been scheduled for early 2009, it remains to be seen if this has any links to new Northern Irish Barmaid 'Betsy' played by cult actress Katrina Rafferty
Many other hour long episodes that have clashed with Eastenders have won in the battle for viewing figures. Over the past couple of years the Yorkshire soap has gone head to head with the London soap on many occasions and emerged on top.
The farmhouse in sunset credits lasted the longest and were introduced in 1976, coinciding with the move to Esholt and the use of videotape for external scenes, and continued to be used until November 1989 when the programme's title was shortened to Emmerdale. This was replaced with a montage of images, shot around Esholt, of various activities such as someone hang-gliding, a Land Rover fording a stream, an oil tanker going over a bridge and someone out horse-riding at Home Farm, the credits rolled over a static shot of the farmhouse. This lasted until 1992 when the theme tune was changed. The credits used from 1992 until December 1993 were similar but used superimposed images the credits rolled over a static shot of some Yorkshire scenery. The opening titles changed again from the plane crash episode in 1993 to one without superimposed images and was in use until November 1994 when some of the scenes were changed and swapped about. From January 1994 until December 1998, the credits rolled over a static shot of Esholt/Emmerdale. The exception to this was during the plane crash when the credits rolled over the destruction of the village.
In December 1998, the opening titles were replaced by another montage, this time of helicopter shots of the Yorkshire moors and farming areas. Superimposed were short scenes of actors (which were not members of the case) performing the various emotions seen in a soap. The closing credits rolled over a continuous shot of Emmerdale, filmed from a helicopter flying away from the village. At the same time, in 1998, a new version of the theme tune was introduced. A grand orchestral theme was introduced over the titles, credits and break bumpers. From September 2004, a different version of the theme, played mainly on the piano, was used for the break bumpers only.
In September 2005, the opening titles were replaced with another helicopter montage, this time marginally slower and without the actors. The closing credits were generic ITV Network style credits over a continuous shot of the village, again from a helicopter, but filmed from a different angle.
Network DVD announced three special DVD Releases were released on October 15 2007 the releases are below.

Controversially, for a 35th anniversary set, the years 1974-1993 were totally omitted.

Grant to provide more funds for Indiana's full-day kindergarten
EVANSVILLE - Given budget cuts from 2010, Warrick County School Corp. Superintendent Brad Schneider said his district was "very appreciative" of the increase in funding through the Full Day Kindergarten grant.
Indiana still lags perilously behind other states with no preschool education funding, he said, so seeing kindergarten approach funding levels is something Schneider is happy about and hopes continues.
"It helps, I think you'll hear that from every superintendent," he said. "Any additional funding we can receive to improve instruction, add instruction, add programs and add teachers, is going to have a positive effect on student learning."
State funding through the Full Day Kindergarten grant increased by $107.9 million for the 2012-2013 school year, reaching a total of $189.8 million, according to the Indiana Department of Education. More than 79,000 students in the state are enrolled in full day kindergarten programs this year. The funds will be distributed to 338 public school corporations and charter schools on Friday.
In 2011-2012, 66,401 students were enrolled in full day kindergarten programs, with a total state funding distribution of $81.9 million.
This year's increase in enrollment and funding is the result of legislation spearheaded by Gov. Mitch Daniels and passed by Indiana lawmakers to guarantee $2,400 per full-day kindergarten student. The funding is provided through the Full Day Kindergarten Grant, which was created in 2005 and represents one of the key education policies in Daniels' first term.
"Governor Daniels put a much needed and long overdue focus on early childhood education in Indiana, and he fulfilled his promise to provide funds for all students whose families choose to enroll their children in full day kindergarten programs," Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett said in a news release.
Schneider said the increase in funding through the grant is "fantastic." He said it almost fully funds Warrick County students. It is the second year Warrick County School Corp. has offered full day kindergarten, and Schneider said there are several benefits, the most important being additional instruction time.
"Our teachers have found that to be very beneficial, especially for students that maybe come to kindergarten that aren't quite ready, aren't quite prepared for kindergarten, this gives us additional instructional time," he said. "And if they come in deficient in an area, teachers can address that."
EVSC Superintendent David Smith said the benefits of full day kindergarten are evident, especially for students who come to school unprepared to learn.
"We treat kindergarten as another year of educational opportunities," Smith said. "We certainly do have data that shows that students that have been in a full day kindergarten program have outcomes that are more advanced than students that have not had that same type of environment."
In 2005, the Full Day Kindergarten Grant's first year, the fund distributed $8.5 million for 10,247 students, providing about $830 per full-day kindergarten student. Last year, the fund provided $1,234 per student.
"I'm pleased that they have fully funded the Full Day Kindergarten grant," Smith said. "But I hope that there is some talk in the General Assembly that they would actually fund full day kindergarten just by embedding that in the regular student funding formula."
Depending what data is studied, Smith said the benefit of full day kindergarten seems to decline in the fourth or fifth grade. However, he said that is the adverse effect of not being privileged to be in an environment that provides for educational opportunities throughout the summer months.
"There was a longitudinal study done out east and they showed that the learning trajectory of a student in poverty and a student from a family of means was parallel during the school year," Smith said. "During the summer months, the child from the family of means continued to grow in their educational ventures and a child from a family of poverty actually declined, so that's where that learning loss comes from and after a period of four or five years, that learning loss begins to show up in standardized testing and other data points."
There are 290 public school districts in the state that offer full day kindergarten, and 49 charter schools offer full day kindergarten. The 2012 law requires that public school districts and charter schools applying to receive the grant funds agree not to charge parents tuition fees for their full day kindergarten programs.
"We need to have, certainly vibrant, full day kindergarten," Smith said. "And we also need to have learning opportunities in the summer that provide children with additional opportunities for learning experiences."

Floridians have tough time paying for health care
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday | Listen to this entire show:
A new report released today says that nearly 3.9 million people in Florida are in families that spend more than 10 percent of their income on health care.
Kim Bailey is a senior policy analyst with Families USA, the Washington-based health care advocacy group that released the study.
The report, âToo Great a Burden: Florida Families at Risk,â is part of Families USAâs series of reports on every state in the country.
In addition to the large number of people spending more than 10 percent of their income on health care, the study says more than 1.2 million Floridians are in families that will spend more than 25 percent of their pre-tax income on health care.
Also participating on the conference call was Tampa area Democratic Congresswoman Kathy Castor, who has put health care, especially childrenâs health care, at the top of her agenda. She says the study indicates what has become painfully obvious over the years â that the health care crises in the U.S. goes beyond those who donât have any insurance.
The report also shows the huge growth in health care insurance premiums since the year 2000.
Abigail Vladeck is with the Human Services Coalition based in Miami â Dade County. She adds the property tax problems in Florida as an additional factor in rising health care costs.
Health care will undoubtedly be as big an issue in next yearâs elections as it was in 1992, the last time a president tried to fix the inequities in the system. Since then, HMOs have only prospered, making the topic mandatory for the Democratic candidates; nearly all of them are offering detailed plans for coverage. The Republican candidates generally have emphasized private plans vs. a universal-style health care system.
Castor says she has been reviewing the plans of all of the Democratic presidential candidates.

In an effort to explain why the jury in the Kenny Gladney trial took less than the time it takes to watch an episode
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit to return with a verdict of GTFO, Andrew Breitbart's crack team of trained bonobos have been working day and night and even through their naptimes to explain what malignant force in the universe has the power to not only corrupt our system of justice but also to defy the laws of time and space and physics and no rights turns on a red.
Who could these space monsters be?
Media Matters for America.
Yes, when SEIU doesn't get what they want by unleashing their purple-clad beserkers on unsuspecting Real Americans, SEIU turns to David Brock's Media X-Men to do the behind the scenes "black ops" work. No, really:
It's no surprise that the tax-exempt Media Matters regularly features publishes proven-false propaganda pieces as "news," and it's no surprise that the site, led by Eric Boehlert, came out hard to spin and defend on behalf of SEIU. What Media Matters and Eric Boehlert have not disclosed is that they were paid by SEIU for unknown services and it begs the question of whether or not they were paid to help cover up SEIU's mess in the Gladney incident.
From Liberty Chick's post on the suppressed story from May of last year:
This is good, so put down your Mr. Pibb and pay attention:
….I've written previously about the birth of Media Matters as a spawn of Rob Stein's Conservative Message Machine Money Matrix road show, from which the Democracy Alliance was born. It's through this organization from which much of the organization's funding had come; in recent years, more has been spread out across other progressive organizations, but the funders often remain the same names in most cases. For instance, The Tides Foundation gave Media Matters and their Action Network over $175,000 just last year. In earlier years, groups like Montclair, New Jersey-based (hometown of Media Matters' Eric Boehlert) Schumann Center for Media & Democracy gave the organization $500,000.
The donors' list is vast and diverse, and we plan to cover that in detail in the future. So I'll focus in on one set of donors to Media Matters, which is the Labor Unions. More specifically, in light of some recent posts regarding the Kenneth Gladney incident, I thought it appropriate to revisit donations made to Media Matters specifically by the Service Employees International Union.
When you look at the timeline of events and the media calendar in general leading up to the Gladney incident last August, it's difficult not to conclude that there was collaboration amongst White House staff, components of Big Labor, and certain liberal media outlets. However, we know that all will continue to deny it.
Further, just as the flurry of media activity finally starts to wind down a bit around October last year, this is when SEIU makes three separate donations to Media Matters totaling $50,000, under the classification of "Communications", according to the SEIU LM-2 report. (In reviewing other LM-2s for several previous years, this appears at least to be the first time that SEIU has donated to Media Matters, and there does not seem to have been another donation recorded since these.)
This is the type of funding that I would question in return to Media Matters. With their membership being so low and their unfunded pension expenses so high, can the SEIU really afford to be randomly donating funds to an organization like Media Matters? Perhaps SEIU purchased advertising on Media Matters' website, but then I'd think it would be categorized as such, as others ad expenses in the LM-2 were. If not advertising, if not random donations, then what's the reason for SEIU having donated these funds? One could logically conclude that Media Matters performed a service in return. Only they can answer that.
Yes, the White House, Big Labor, "liberal media outlets" (as well as possibly the Yakuza, the Stonecutters, PETA, the Rosicrucians, the Imperial War Council of Reptar Prime, and a Government Agency So Secret It Doesn't Even Have A Name And They Will Kill You A Lot If You Try To Name Them) got together and coordinated a massive push-back against misdemeanor charges of assault and interfering with a police officer as part of their grander plan to institute Affordable Health Care and Sharia Law for all.

Saddam Hussein's vengeance as he withdrew his forces from Kuwait has been recorded for posterity from space. The Earth Observation Satellite Corporation, which operates the Landsat satellites, has released these infrared images showing the extent of the world's worst act of ecoterrorism.
The first image shows Kuwait on 6 January 1991, two weeks before the Gulf War began. The dark smudge to the south of Kuwait City is the Greater Burgan oilfield, the country's main oil-producing region. In February, as Saddam Hussein's troops pulled out of Kuwait, they fired more than 600 wells.
The central image, taken two months later, shows the oilwells alight. Because Landsat's thermal infrared channel registers heat rather than light, it was able to record individual fires beneath the cloud of dense, greasy smoke. The bright red lights are burning wells. The fires are concentrated in two areas, the Al-Maqwa (top) and Al-Ahmadi oilfields.

CRAWFORDSVILLE — One is a future hurler for college baseball power Vanderbilt University. The other hadn't yielded a run in three weeks.
New Palestine faced two ace starting pitchers Saturday at the Crawfordsville Regional – and knocked both from the game.
In continuing its season-long offensive onslaught Saturday, NP also received sterling performances from three pitchers to claim its sixth regional championship. The Dragons (23-9) followed a 6-4 semifinal edging of Class 3A No. 2 Lebanon with a 4-0 blanking of Edgewood in the championship game.
NP advances to Saturday's Plainfield Semistate to face No. 9 Gibson Southern (23-7) at 1 p.m. With a victory, the Dragons will play the victor of No. 1 Andrean (29-4) and Fort Wayne Bishop Dwenger (19-11) for the 3A state championship either Friday, June 20 or Saturday, June 21 at Victory Field in Indianapolis.
"A lot of kids contributed," said third-year Dragons' coach Shawn Lyons, who has guided the red and white to the semistate round for the second time in his three seasons as coach. "I'm really happy. Every program works hard, and I understand that, but it's nice for these kids who work really hard and they have something to show for it this year."

Patients will benefit through clinical trials
Posted: May 17, 2014|
PATIENTS worldwide are set to benefit from the groundbreaking work of a Swansea team.
Clinical trials to try out new medicines and devices are being carried out by the Joint Clinical Research Facility — a link-up between ABMU Health Board and the College of Medicine at Swansea University.
The aim of their work is to improve patients' health and wellbeing and to help them to live their lives to the full.
With units based at Swansea's Morriston Hospital and the College of Medicine the facility has a worldwide reputation and global firms are asking them to run their trials.
Kathie Wareham, director of the Joint Clinical Research Facility, said: "Clinical research is an important part of healthcare as it not only looks at improving patients' health but also their quality of life.
"We look at many different aspects of patients' care.
"It can be assessing new ways of diagnosing a condition, new medicines or devices for patients or staff to use or different ways of administering treatments."
The team is on the shortlist for the British Medical Journal's UK Research Paper of the Year.

"The arts are instrumental in giving our lives special meaning and great joy, stimulating our economy, and bridging complex cultural divides." Paulette Lynch
The Todd Lueders Fund for the Arts is a permanent endowment created to provide long-term, ongoing support for the arts in Monterey County. It is also a flexible, future-oriented vehicle for donors with broad cultural interests who wish to make a planned or testamentary gift to benefit the arts. A portion of the Fund's annual payout is distributed to the Arts Council for Monterey County to supplement their re-granting program to small and emerging arts agencies. Seven core arts agencies receive the majority of the Fund's annual grants.
- Pacific Repertory Theatre
- The Western Stage
- Carmel Music Society
- Carmel Bach Festival
- Monterey Symphony
- Youth Music Monterey
- Monterey Museum of Art
As the market value of the Fund grows, the Community Foundation's Board of Directors will select and designate additional beneficiary agencies.
The Community Foundation is committed to supporting the arts in Monterey County and are proud to be partnering with The James Irvine Foundation and their Communities Advancing the Arts Initiative.
Why should you support the arts?
Because it feels good! Art is amazing, inspiring, and powerful – it touches lives for the better.
And it does good! Art fuels our economy, develops children's self esteem, and brings people together. The local arts community contributes jobs, advances tourism and nurtures creativity. The arts also provide educational benefits by enhancing learning and boosting success. And the arts help build a sense of community by creating social connections, increasing cross-cultural awareness and understanding, and promoting civic engagement.
The time is now! State art funding has been slashed 98% to just 3 cents per person, and ticket sales cover just part of the cost of exhibits and performances.
Today, more than ever, your support is vital to the arts.
For more information please contact President/CEO, Dan Baldwin or call 831.375.9712 x115.

Bury v Crewe Alexandra preview
Team news ahead of Tuesday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy first-round tie between Bury and Crewe Alexandra at Gigg Lane.
Last Updated: 29/08/11 3:43pm
Team news ahead of Tuesday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy first-round tie between Bury and Crewe Alexandra at Gigg Lane.
Bury boss Richie Barker will be without a trio of players.
Midfield duo Damien Mozika and Steven Schumacher are sidelined with calf injuries and defender Mark Hughes is also out with a hamstring strain.
Yet Barker has no other injuries or suspensions and is hopeful on-loan Hull striker Mark Cullen will be available following a tight hamstring.
The Shakers lost 2-1 at home to Charlton on Saturday but Barker took great from his side's display.
He said: "For three quarters of the game, we more than matched them.
"If you'd have said at half-time that one team were favourites to get relegated before a ball was kicked and the other were favourites to win the league, you wouldn't have known which was which."
Crewe boss Dario Gradi will again be without rookie striker Nick Powell.
The 17-year-old was sent off for a studs-up challenge during the recent 2-0 defeat at Shrewsbury, eight minutes after coming on as a second-half substitute.
He now serves the second game a three-match suspension while Matt Tootle (groin) and Byron Moore (hamstring) continue to miss out due to injury.
The Alex ended a dismal five-match losing streak when they won 1-0 at Plymouth on Saturday to finally kickstart their campaign.
Yet Gradi, who may rest defender Carl Martin and forward AJ Leitch-Smith, admitted: "There were obviously positives from it but we are a long way from what we want to be doing."

Miracle Dog Euthanized, Comes Back to Life Next Day
Matt Olivarez had to do what every animal owner dreads – he had to put his dog to sleep. And now he may have to do it again. The Redford, Michigan man took his 10 year-old Rottweiler, Mia, to the vet to be euthanized last Saturday. Spinal problems had progressed to the extent that Mia was no longer able to walk. Vets recommended euthanasia as a merciful solution to her suffering.
Olivarez was present and watched as both shots were administered to Mia. Moments later the vet declared her deceased. Olivarez brought the beloved family pet's remains home so that she could be given a proper burial. What happened next defies description.
In an interview with Action News, Olivarez expresses amazement at Mia's revival, and heartbreak at the thought of having to put her down again.

How sad! Maybe it was a sign??

oh no, how heartwrenching……poor Matt and Mia
October 12, 2010 10:36 amPosted 4 years ago
That should NEVER have happened. NEVER.
October 12, 2010 10:37 amPosted 4 years ago
It does seem almost as if Mia wasn't meant to go to sleep yet.
October 12, 2010 10:54 amPosted 4 years ago
What??? Obviously the vet didn'y make the best work, I can't imagine the shock on everyone involved, the decision is very hard to take, and now the pet parents are faced again with the same decision or to leave mother nature take its course. I sure wouldn't like to be in their shoes. And if I were to have Mia put down again I'll surely take her to another vet!!!
October 12, 2010 11:00 amPosted 4 years ago
Oh, that makes us so sad. How horrible for Mia and for her family. We do wish there could be something done to help her, but it doesn't sound good. We hope there will be an update on this story. Our hearts go out to that poor dog.

How heartbreaking!
October 12, 2010 11:10 amPosted 4 years ago
How does that happen? That is really really sad. The family thinking that Mia is gone and then walking into the garage and finding her alive and looking for food.
October 12, 2010 11:33 amPosted 4 years ago
How unbelievably sad – having had to go through the whole PTS situation, I can't even fathom having this happen….. My vet stayed with us listening for a heartbeat for quite a while after… and then we had another block of time to just be with our dog before we brought her home to bury her.
October 12, 2010 11:49 amPosted 4 years ago
Chester's obedience teacher told us about Pentobarbital being found in less expensive dog foods and thus causing a resistance to it when a pet needs to be euthanized. I wonder if this could explain what happened to Mia.
How heart wrenching to have to go through this twice!
October 12, 2010 12:48 pmPosted 4 years ago
Chester went to obedience training? 😉
October 13, 2010 5:49 amPosted 4 years ago
Yep Budrow-can you imagine if he hadn't??? ;0-)
October 12, 2010 12:14 pmPosted 4 years ago
We read this read night and can only imagine the horror of what those folks went through. The poor woman is very upset because the vet said he'd have to check whether it was really the same dog. That's a real slap in the face.
We wonder if what Chester's mom commented could have happened. Because if it did, then we wonder how many other animals this has happened to and either been buried alive or sent right to the crematorium. Very scary thought!
October 13, 2010 6:15 pmPosted 4 years ago
I agree… that was a slap in the face!
October 12, 2010 12:17 pmPosted 4 years ago
I find this story totally disturbing. I think that I would have had a heart attack if I would have walked in on my "dead" dog coming to life. That family is going to have nightmares for years to come…
October 12, 2010 12:48 pmPosted 4 years ago
That is a tough one! Once is so damn difficult I can't imagine what it would be like to have to do it twice!
October 12, 2010 1:24 pmPosted 4 years ago
gosh! How do u have the heart to do it twice. Maybe she's not meant to go yet.
October 12, 2010 1:49 pmPosted 4 years ago
Oh my gosh. This just makes me sick to my stomach.
October 12, 2010 2:48 pmPosted 4 years ago
I can't imagine how awful this must be! Having had to go through the PTS scenario a few times myself, it's just so awful. All those second guesses and doubts, and then to find out that the dog has defied the odds and come back — it's just too hard to think about. It's what you always wish for the day after you've gone through that, but not in that way. I pray for him that maybe she'll just go quietly in her sleep before he has to go through that again.
October 12, 2010 4:35 pmPosted 4 years ago
I agree this is so sad but I also agree with some who say maybe this is a sign ..I am sure many people would love to help get Mia the surgery she needs ..I would donate for sure ..and I couldn't do this again to Mia ..it's so not her time apparently.
October 12, 2010 5:46 pmPosted 4 years ago
OMD how horrific, I really feel for the owner. Maybe Mia feels she is just NOT ready to go just yet.
October 12, 2010 9:04 pmPosted 4 years ago
I think it could be a sign and I also think if a vet didn't manage to do it right the first time, I probably would reconsider taking the vet's word that it's the right thing to do. Totally second opinion time if you ask me.
lotsa licks, Lola
October 12, 2010 9:06 pmPosted 4 years ago
Just maybe it wasn't her time……how bizarre, nonetheless!
October 12, 2010 9:32 pmPosted 4 years ago
How about a wheel chair from walking wheels…..
October 12, 2010 9:47 pmPosted 4 years ago
How very odd!
October 12, 2010 10:28 pmPosted 4 years ago
That would be pretty shocking! not mention heart rendering. Makes you wonder how many animal put down are disposed of before they are really actually lifeless.
October 13, 2010 10:41 amPosted 4 years ago
While this is a terrbily painful story, we have to remember that vets are human and therefore, subject to mistakes. I hope that all concerned can find some peace.
October 13, 2010 1:08 pmPosted 4 years ago
I read this morning in our local paper that Mia's owner is looking for someone to adopt Mia, someone can provide the care she needs ,,I sure hope she finds a wonderful new home and can get the care she needs
October 13, 2010 3:56 pmPosted 4 years ago
My Rottweiler, Shepherd, Chow, Lab mix woke up on the table during surgery at a well known, reputable animal clinic. Tranquilizers don't seem to have much effect on him either. I've been horrified of the day we may have to put him to sleep for exactly this reason! I joked about it but was truly concerned. Now it seems I may have been right to be worried!!
October 13, 2010 6:10 pmPosted 4 years ago
Perhaps the vet who was unsuccessful of performing this task should offer to pick up the tab for surgery for Mia….
October 14, 2010 6:10 pmPosted 4 years ago
I believe this is a sign from God – – it isn't Mia's time. Someone should start a fund to raise the money for the surgery – – possibly the news station that reported it. I would donate to help this dog and this family. The vet should kick in some free time and post operative care also in my opinion since he evidently did not do his job properly. If it were my dog, I would sue the vet, so he certainly should offer some help.
October 15, 2010 11:08 amPosted 4 years ago
That is so very tragic for the family and Mia…what would really be awesome is if people would start to donate to a fund for her surgery and the vet clinic where this happened would voluntarily see to the surgery and aftercare for her, cost free of course. I do not believe in coincidences, and do agree with many who said that it was not her time, and it still isn't.
October 17, 2010 9:03 amPosted 4 years ago
Maybe she knew how much they would have missed each other.
July 12, 2012 5:17 pmPosted 2 years ago
Believe that if dogs are dead and come back to life, that is God's way of telling you that it's not her time. I recommend keeping her alive for a little longer if there is a cure. And if you can afford it, get her cured. If you can't and she truly leaves you then it was meant to be. God bless you and I hope for the best.
