Medical student Geevan George evaluates volunteer patient Kim Roberts during a class at the Greenville Hospital System. / Heidi Heilbrunn/Staff
A gentle rap on the exam room door and Geevan George enters with a reassuring smile.
Clad in a white lab coat, he greets patient Kim Jones and takes a seat on a rolling stool before asking about her painful right leg.
Except Jones doesn�t have any pain.
And her name isn�t Jones.
She�s Kim Roberts, a 43-year-old substitute teacher who plays the role of patient to give medical students at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine-Greenville a taste of what being a doctor will be like.
Since becoming what�s called a standardized patient volunteer in medical school parlance, Roberts has been a 38-year-old expectant mother, a 42-year-old engineer suffering migraines, and now a 40-year-old factory worker with incessant leg pain.
In traditional medical education, George, a first-year med student at the school, typically wouldn�t get any time with a patient until his third year. This early simulation is designed to help medical students apply what they are learning as they�re learning it.
It�s part of a new model of medical education called competency-based training that�s aimed at producing doctors who give STEEEP � or safe, timely, efficient, effective, equitable and patient-centered � care, Dr. Carol Aschenbrener, chief medical education officer at the Association of American Medical Colleges, told GreenvilleOnline.com.
�We�re really at the tipping point now for real transformation in the model of medical education to a system that is based on the needs of the public, and a system that is much more flexible and focused on outcomes,� she says. �The competency approach is by and large defining what you want and working backward from that.�
Traditionally, she says, medical education has been rigidly siloed � two years of a specific course of study in lecture halls followed by two years of clinical work. So first- and second-year students listen as a professor explains histology or biochemistry and struggle to retain the vast amounts of material heaped on them.
In the new world order, instruction has changed from �the sage on the stage,� as the lecture hall format is called, to a faculty member who helps guide students through their studies in small groups, Aschenbrener says.
The shift is happening, says Lynn Crespo, associate dean for education at the USC SOM-Greenville, because educators believe they need to change the way medicine is taught to change the way it�s practiced.
�We used to spend two years telling students what, but we never told them why,� she says. �And when all you do is memorize for the next exam and move on, you don�t understand how that information is important. Now with the clinical and simulation and real experiences � here�s the why.�
�We now realize you need to let students experience early why they�re there,� Aschenbrener adds. �It�s not about learning a bunch of subjects in the abstract, but learning to care for people.�
The old days of see one, do one, teach one are gone, Crespo says.
�We want them to see one � whether it�s interviewing a patient or doing CPR � and practice many until they gain competency before they start working with real patients.�
It also gets the med students to focus on the patient from day one, she says.
The real world
The second floor of the Health Sciences Education Building on Grove Road, which houses the medical school, is set up to replicate real-world health-care settings, from exam rooms to a hospital intensive care unit.
And in clinical skills lab, students put into practice what they are studying.
As George and two other students pair a medical history with a physical exam for the first time, Dr. Meenu Jindal, professor of internal medicine, observes their encounters with the patient.
One after the other, they knock, wait for a welcome, enter and introduce themselves before cleaning their hands and sitting down for a chat with Roberts.
�What brings you in today?� asks a fresh-faced young woman with long dark hair pulled back in a pony tail.
�I�ve been having a lot of dull, aching pain in my right leg that doesn�t seem to go away,� says Roberts.
�How long have you had this pain?� the student prompts.
�About three or four months,� Roberts replies.
Then the student turns to Jindal.
�Should I do vitals?� she asks.
�No, take the history first,� Jindal instructs.
Here, students can ask questions as they go along and they get immediate feedback about how they�re doing.
Did they wash their hands? Did they make eye contact? Did they put the patient at ease?
And instructors monitor them remotely in real time as they are videotaped so they can review their own performances with an eye on improving their skills, something that also differs from traditional medical school, Crespo says.
For the USC SOM-Greenville students, who are just a few weeks into their first year, Jindal serves as a supportive, calm and encouraging presence who reinforces what they did well in her feedback.
�That was very good, repeating what the patient said, confirming what�s going on,� she tells one of them.
�And Geevan, when you took over, you asked some very good questions about the scale of pain and the impact on her life.�
Life lessons
That�s something George, 23, knows about first-hand.
The son of NASA scientists, he grew up around medicine as his father for years battled brain cancer.
�Even when I was a little kid, he had cancer,� he says. �So it was kind of a normal thing in our family.�
Throughout high school at Bob Jones Academy, George, along with his younger brother, helped care for his father through treatments, surgeries and even setbacks while his mother was at work in Texas.
Each morning he�d leave for school at 8, return to their Greer home at 11 to get his father lunch, and go back to school at 2 before arriving home again at 6 to resume caring for his father and taking up his homework.
Along the way, there were countless visits to cancer centers from Texas to Tennessee, and George was impressed by the skill and compassion of the doctors.
The experience taught him empathy, he says, and set him on his current career path.
�All that made me decide to go into medicine,� he says. �I wouldn�t be here today without my dad and without cancer.�
Back in clinical skills lab, George has fun interacting with even model patients, though he allows that it can be a bit awkward feeling for a patient�s lymph nodes or femoral pulse.
But in such a small group and with the encouragement of his teachers to ask questions, it�s becoming more comfortable.
�I�m learning to get over it,� he says with a chuckle.
Drama queen
Roberts, who taught elementary school in Ohio for 17 years, recently followed her husband to Greenville for his job transfer. Wanting to get a feel for her new community before jumping back into a classroom full-time, she was intrigued by an ad for standardized patients at the med school.
�I knew I�d be working with much older students, but thought that would be fun,� she says.
After a little training, she was given her first script � the part of a pregnant woman just being told that her baby will be born with Down syndrome.
�They encouraged me to give emotions and reactions, to be as realistic as we can and to tell them if we don�t understand or if they�re using too much medical jargon,� she says.
�And it�s a very positive environment,� she adds. �When we give feedback, we want to let them know this is what you did that made me feel comfortable. You didn�t just keep firing questions at me. You developed a conversation with me to get that information.�
Until now, Roberts says her only acting experience was teaching a middle-school drama class, though she confesses with a giggle that she�s considered the family drama queen.
�I�ve always enjoyed role-playing,� she says. �And with this, I�m still involved in teaching and role-playing and having fun with that.�
The med school now boasts more than 200 standardized patients, some who are volunteers and some who are paid, Crespo says. And if there�s a need for a special type of patient, say someone with heart disease, they recruit more.
Touchy subject
After finishing the medical history in clinical skills lab, the students present their findings and move on to the exam.
Putting her hands on Roberts� neck, Jindal demonstrates how to check for lymph nodes and pulses while she asks the students what they remember from their classes.
One at a time, they follow suit, placing their hands on Roberts� carotid artery and lymph nodes, practicing on each other as they eagerly wait their turn.
The students are enthusiastic and appreciate having a patient to see, says Roberts. They�re compassionate, she adds, and growing more confident every day.
�When they first came to me, they were like, �Gasp!� But they�re not so shaky anymore,� she says. �And I want them to be comfortable doing what they need to do. So it�s fine with me.�
Training alongside other professionals instead of just other med students is another feature of the new medical education. So future doctors are taught beside nursing, pharmacy and other students, learning to practice the way they will in the field, Crespo says.
That helps to break down barriers and improve communication skills, ensuring the best care for patients, she says.
�Our students understand the minute they walk through this door they�re a member of an inter-professional team,� she says. �Most med students don�t get that.�
�We have to prepare people for ... inter-professional collaboration,� Aschenbrener says. �Learning is most effective when it is mutual.�
Training first as EMTs is another highlight of the new education at the Greenville school, a requirement designed to give med students actual patient care experience from their earliest days, Crespo says.
Working in the community in some capacity is an idea that�s increasingly taking hold at medical schools, Aschenbrener says.
And because today�s students are accustomed to different ways of studying, schools are integrating e-learning, Aschenbrener says. That also allows students to absorb the material at their own speed, depending on their abilities and interests, she says.
But one of the most formidable obstacles has been developing faculty for this new approach, she says.
�This is a very exciting time, but a challenging time,� she says. �Most of the faculties haven�t been prepared for these new methods of learning.�
The new approach has been demonstrated to enhance learning, Crespo says, and to improve patient safety and quality of care. And it�s no more costly than traditional med school because one faculty member can float between small groups in an open space overseeing many students, she says.
The transformation of medical education has been building for more than a decade, but it�s accelerating now, Aschenbrener says. Still, she expects it will take another decade before competency-based training is fully implemented in all medical schools.
�It�s grounded in the real needs of people rather than what faculty thinks somebody ought to know,� she says, �(and) it increases likelihood that graduates are going to be more person-centered when they get out.�
Risk adjusted
That focus was a major factor in George�s decision to risk applying to a new medical school.
After his father passed away two years ago, he took a year off and worked as a pharmacy technician.
�I spent so much time with my father. He was my best friend,� he says. �I just needed to reassess everything.�
That break allowed the Bob Jones University graduate to apply for the charter class.
�I was leaning toward USC in Columbia because this is untested water,� he says. �The risk for me was the residency issue. A lot of programs look at the school you came from and people who�ve come from that program. And since this is the first class, Greenville doesn�t have that.�
The integrated format of the education � where a topic, for instance cardiology, is taught through anatomy, physiology and the other courses � also appealed to George.
�Medicine is not just little compartments, and here, everything is taught as a unit so it makes sense,� he says. �You remember the lecture and connect the dots.�
But being awarded a scholarship and living at home with his family�s �invaluable� support helped tip the scales.
�There were pros and cons with both schools,� he says, �but I decided to take a risk and I�m enjoying it.�
Nonetheless, the material is tough and the volume is daunting.
�Med school pressure is a totally different ballgame,� he says. �The amount of work I would go through in a semester as an undergrad we go through in a week. But I know it�s going to make me a better doctor.�
While his EMT work has been the highlight so far, tests have been the toughest part.
�That first test was a doozy,� he says of his cellular and molecular biology exam. �But I�m trying to meet with my teachers a lot more often now. And I know there are a lot of people behind us who want us to do well.�
And despite a few hiccups along the way, George says he�s relishing the experience.
�We�re doing cardiology lectures right now. And next week,� he says with a gleam in his eye, �we�ll be doing EKGs.�

Toronto startup goes underwater with compressed air energy storage
Editor's note: SGN Managing Editor Liz Enbysk recently participated in a smart grid media tour hosted by the Ontario provincial government. With journalists from around the world, she visited utilities, smart grid companies and research labs. This is one of her reports.
By Liz Enbysk
SGN Managing Editor
If land-based wind turbines are a bird's worst nightmare, it will be interesting to see how the fish in Lake Ontario react to giant underwater "accumulators" that will store compressed air to feed back into the electric grid.
Toronto-based startup Hydrostor ran a pilot of its underwater compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology last summer and with partner Toronto Hydro will construct a 1MW, 4MWh demonstration facility about 7 kilometers from Toronto's shore later this year.
As Hydrostor President Cam Lewis explains, his company's first-of-its-kind system mechanically converts electricity from the grid to compressed air, which is captured, cooled and can be stored indefinitely in underwater accumulators. These accumulators are large, high-strength polyester bags that inflate with the air like a big balloon - no doubt producing quite an underwater show for salmon and lake inhabitants. When the grid needs the stored energy, the weight of the water pushes the air back to the surface where Hydrostor's expander/generator system sends it back.

steelers are all homos
Originally written on Helmet2Helmet | Last updated 5/14/13
Most professional athletes like to spend their fortune on luxury houses, extravagant cars, and the finest -- often tailor-made -- clothes. James Harrison is a different breed. In his introductory press conference as a member of the Bengals Tuesday, the veteran linebacker revealed that he spends between $400,000-$600,000 per year "on body work." Basically, that's a fancy way of saying "massages," and his over-indulgence has led to an interesting nickname. "I've always been what everybody'd like to call — excuse my English — is massage whore," Harrison said, via Bengals.com. "I can't think of nothing else. They done called me it so long I'm starting to believe it." The 35-year-old Harrison knows he's no young pup, so self-preservation is of the utmost importance. "I have a hyperbaric chamber," Harrison said. "I rent a hyperbaric chamber when I'm in Arizona. I have massages and I bring people in from New York, Arizona to where I'm at. There's that cost. L

rowdyguns, pull your pants up and get out of your mother's basement! She's tired of making excuses for her loserof 30 some years... Sum it up; go accomplish something
Uh, he's not a Steeler.
He's a Bengal.
Can't even troll correctly.
so James likes a local; a lot!
So if he's on espn's broke 2 segment then we'll know why.
I've boon doing almost the same thing for years.. YES it really works
Is there a happy ending here?
For $600k there should be many happy endings.
Probably not an issue for him, but I think about so many stars and athletes who burn though all their money. It seems to me, his "body work" could be addressed for a fraction of the cost with some planning. What he saved he could invest or donate to charity. Having said that, it is no ones business how someone spends their money. I am Just a girl who is good with money and I don't like to waste it.
It's also called physical therapy.
That's a lot, even if they DO include a BJ at the end...!
Please leave Mr. Harrison alone, he worked very hard while here in Pittsburgh, he has a right to feel some pain for the way he was dismissed here. His fans here miss him, and he was well liked and what he does with his money is no ones business,
Over a half a million, REALLY!! While I can understand needing to have a specialized regimen, this price tag is way too much. I think he is being grossly overcharged and flat out taken advantage of. We hear about athletes and their bad investments that lead to them becoming financially broke but here's a classic example of how doctors, massage therapist and even personal chefs get in on the gambit as well. These money hungry predators bleed these guys dry and if they don't have good people around them to put a kibosh on the nonsense, they eventually become the sad statistic that seem to plague athletes after retirement.
Sounds like he's pulled a Wilt Chamberlain. Remember when Wilt said he had been to bed with 10,000 women. I think they both put in at least one too many zeros.

Hi everyone!
Just got done with this piece. I have a nasty habit of not finishing what I start so I figured why not submit something to the Blizzard fan art section. It definitely helped me finally finish something.
Im very new at this so please leave any crits! Thanks!
Hope you enjoy!

I suggest a study on rim lighting, or maybe using reference. That would give you more than I could possibly explain in this post. Also, facial studies are key and something I need much work on.
The picture seems to lack wholesomeness in general. I think that too many things are covered in what seems to be pitch black. The poses and the composition could be improved by starting out with a thumbnail and block in the main shapes VERY roughly. Do gestural drawings of the figures first, and then dress them in armour, clothing, weapons etc. You're focusing too much on the details and losing sight of the big picture.
I messed around with it in photoshop a little. I think I upped the brightness, removed some contrast and desaturated, not necessarily in that order. In general when you are going for realistic lighting/style be very careful about saturating too much.
Hope this helps!

Way too much contrast - unfocused composition - unconvincing facial expressions - and all the guys are the same! The copy/paste/flip of that one guy makes you look really lazy, and makes your composition rather unpleasant. Also, considering the ground plane, your orc would be higher; at the moment, his legs would be going through the ground plane.

This is a good start, but there are a few elements that are lacking here:
As was said before, you should work on lighting and finding a good range that accentuates the brights and darks, as opposed to the technicolor thing happening as it stands...
Also, I'm noticing the faces of the humans are virtually identical. Avoid this cookie-cutter style, because it is very noticeable. You may save time in the short term by employing this method, but you will only cheat yourself in the long run.
On a somewhat related note, I'm noticing that the only one who's position is dynamic and compelling is the Orc. You might consider creating variance among each particular human and invest a bit more time into each one.
Other than these things, I'd say you're off to a strong start.
August 12th, 2009 #8
I'm sorry but if you are going to copy and paste the same each full figure 4 times in a piece you need to rethink your approach. You shouldn't be copy/pasting something as important as figures unless it's like silhouettes or something. I was enjoying the detail in the orc's face but once I noticed that you copy/pasted the human I got really disappointed.
I agree with the above posts that there are composition and contrast issues as well as other problem, but I think there are also a lot of things working really well. The problem is that I'm so bothered by the copy/paste that I can't get past it. Stuff like this can say a lot about an artist.
I don't mean to upset you or anything, but people DO notice this stuff, and if you show this to a client and they noticed what you did it's going to raise red flags and they might tell you to drop the project all together.
I really hope you do redraw the human figures because I feel like this piece has a lot of potential, but the copy/paste is really holding it back.

Also. They're all carrying heavy sacks of gold. And not one of them seems to be stooping from the weight of it.
It might be a good idea to create each human differently, from scratch, with these revisions in mind. Good luck.

The Orc looks great and I love the comedic presentation of the picture, the fleeing peasants with heavy sacks of gold is a nice touch.
Is this your first picture posted here? I would like to see more, maybe an isolated shot of the Orc in a different manner.

I would also suggest stay away from using too much black in your shadows. Pure whites and pure blacks appear very strong in an image, create visual wholes and make the image look overly contrasty. Try instead using very dark shades of various colours.
Good luck

Madison — Jay Valai appreciated the history lesson but didn't really need it.
"You never forget," Wisconsin's senior strong safety said. "People never forget after stuff like that. I know I'll never forget.
"We come to the Big House this year and we're not going to forget the last time. It's always in our minds . . . when you get embarrassed on national TV like that."
UW (9-1, 5-1 Big Ten Conference) returns to Michigan Stadium on Saturday for the first time since 2008, when the Badgers suffered perhaps their most humiliating defeat under coach Bret Bielema.
The Reader's Digest version:
UW dominated the first half but the offense settled for field goals instead of touchdowns, and the halftime lead was only 19-0.
UW's offense fell apart in the second half, the defense sagged and the Badgers had to gag down a 27-25 loss to a Michigan team that went on to finish 2-6 in the league and 3-9 overall in Rich Rodriguez's first season.
The Wolverines of 2010 are 3-3 in the Big Ten and 7-3 overall. The offense is dynamic, light-years ahead of the 2008 unit, but the defense is worse, which is difficult to fathom considering Michigan finished ninth in total defense (366.9 yards per game) and 10th in scoring defense (28.9 points per game) in the Big Ten in '08.
Questions about the loss to Michigan began popping up Saturday afternoon, not long after UW had crushed visiting Indiana, 83-20.
Even though UW whipped Michigan, 41-24, last season in Madison, Bielema broached the subject of the '08 loss in the locker room immediately after the victory over Indiana and shared the story with reporters.
Quarterback Scott Tolzien, now a fifth-year senior who is 19-4 as a starter, was on the UW sideline signaling in plays in 2008.
The lessons he learned that day in Ann Arbor are twofold.
Razor-sharp preparation during the week is critical and remaining poised on the road is essential.
In fact, the poise might not be possible without the preparation.
"Just being here for five years you learn how difficult it is to win games on the road in the Big Ten," he said. "The absolute way to approach that is to zero in and lock in during your preparation. . . .
"It is about having confidence going in and that allows you to play with confidence and stay calm when you know that you're prepared."
Tolzien's comment about road victories is on the mark.
Every Big Ten team has at least one road loss in league play this season.
UW lost at Michigan State by 10 points.
Michigan State (9-1, 5-1) lost at Iowa by 31 points.
Ohio State (9-1, 5-1) lost at UW by 13 points.
Iowa (7-3, 4-2) saw its Big Ten title hopes dashed last week with a 21-17 loss at Northwestern.
UW had a 10-6 lead and momentum in the Big Ten opener at Michigan State until Keshawn Martin returned a punt 74 yards for a touchdown with 8 minutes 11 seconds left in the first half.
The Spartans took a 13-10 lead they never lost in part because UW's defense couldn't get any critical stops and the Badgers weren't strong enough to turn the momentum back in their favor.
"I think at Michigan State when there was some adversity," Bielema said, "guys kind of looked around and didn't know how to handle it. . . .
"The Michigan State game happened for a reason, whatever it was. We had to learn from that day. If we just left everything in East Lansing, we'd never be where we are today.
"We learned from that experience and grew, and I think that's the true sign of a good man."
Three weeks later, in arguably the most hostile road environment in the league, UW traded scoring drives with Iowa for four quarters. UW capped the 31-30 victory with a 15-play, 80-yard touchdown drive in the final minutes.
Michigan is 1-2 at home in league play this season and just 3-8 in Rodriguez's two-plus seasons.
The victories came against Illinois in three overtimes this season, against Indiana last season and against UW in '08.
The 2008 UW team was disjointed and mentally fragile. The current UW team appears united and indefatigable.
"We have to redeem ourselves because that was a tough game," said junior defensive end J.J. Watt, who was redshirting that season after transferring. "Everybody in the locker room is talking about it. We're ready to go.
"We need to go in there and play a complete football game and do what we do."

Amy Graber (right) says
nurse navigators are an integral part of the cancer care team.
When they hear they have cancer, many patients react with shock, fear, horror or resignation. "They shut down," said Amy Graber, R.N., Alegent Creighton Health oncology nurse navigator supervisor. "They only hear so much of what the doctor's saying." According to Graber, they're often so stunned or overwhelmed "they only hear seven percent of what the doctor's telling them."
Enter the cancer nurse navigator.
The nurse navigator is an oncology-certified nurse who guides the patient and his or her family through the entire process of cancer diagnosis and treatment at Alegent Creighton Health. This service is free of charge and is available at all Cancer Center locations. For Graber, that often means close interaction with 12 to 15 patients a day.
Whether it's on the phone or in person, Graber and her fellow nurse navigators are a single point of contact for their patients every step of the way.
This particular morning, Graber started by calling a woman to see how she was doing after her surgery.
"Any problems?" Graber asked. "Do you have pain in the chest area or underneath your arm?"
She cautioned the patient not to lift anything weighing more than 10 pounds and to avoid driving while on her medication. The woman had a lot of questions and Graber took her time answering them. "I'll check in with you later in the week. If you need me, call me!"
Graber typed some notes in her computer and reached for the phone again. This time she was checking on a patient with melanoma.
"The news was good? That's awesome!" she told the patient as she volunteered to go to the next appointment with her.
After hearing the patient's questions, she suggested she work with a dietitian. "I can send you some information that would be helpful and Carol, the dietitian, will call you." There is no charge for consulting with the dietitian—just as there's no charge for everything the nurse navigators do.
Graber made a quick dash upstairs to find a lung cancer patient she feared wouldn't put on the weight he needed.
"You put on three pounds!" she encouraged him as he gave her a big smile from under his Nebraska ball cap. Graber promised to check on the doctor's orders for his physical therapy and rushed back to her office. In the next half hour she would, among other things, run down the doctor's orders, set up transportation for a patient who needed it, and call one of the cancer team's social workers about another patient's housing concerns. Then she called a younger patient, reminding him of an important appointment later that day and mentioned that she would look into a free gas card for him.
Graber said nurse navigators are an integral part of the cancer care team. They assist in scheduling tests and consultations, helping patients understand the diagnosis and plan of care and collaborating with the medical team to ensure information is current and clear.
"For many patients, it's comforting just knowing that there's someone they can call, who can answer their questions," Graber said. One patient in her 90s appreciated that Graber went to all of her appointments with her. Others have countless questions about chemotherapy and side effects. Graber answers them all. The nurse navigators rotate being "on call" so they can even field questions in the middle of the night, if necessary.
With that kind of TLC, many patients include Graber in their celebrations. Late in the morning, a woman walked in with two plates of red velvet cupcakes that she'd baked. "It's my last day for chemo! I'm happy but it's scary too," she said as she handed a plate to Graber.
Graber then met with a patient who was facing a long series of appointments—including everything from heart and lung tests to scans and stem cell transplants. Graber reviewed each appointment, making sure the patient understood where she had to be and when. The woman clutched the stack of papers and gave Graber a long hug as she left, telling her: "Love you!"
Graber was off to the chemotherapy room, where she spoke again with the patient who was having her last treatment. The woman was cold; Graber ran to get her a blanket. Then it was down the hall to track down a physician about radiation treatments. She returned to the patient and filled her in on what to expect from radiation. They hugged. "Congratulations on your last chemo appointment!" Graber told her.
Not far away she encountered a woman battling esophageal cancer and checked to see how she was feeling. "You're good at what you do," the grateful patient told her. As she walked away, Graber spotted another patient. "How's it going?" Graber asked."It's going. I'm very tired," the woman responded.
Graber comforted her and took time to see what she could do to make her life a little easier. That included giving the patient information on the Road to Recovery program with the American Cancer Society and offering to assist her, if she needed.
"I like being there for my patients and seeing them get through their treatments," Graber said. "People tell me, 'What a depressing job you have.' I tell them the happy moments outweigh the sad."
Graber has an extensive history helping cancer patients. She worked in oncology at another local hospital after getting bachelor's and master's degrees in nursing. She worked for Alegent Creighton Health for a dozen years, both in radiation and as the breast care coordinator. In 2006, she became an oncology nurse navigator.
She's never forgotten the impact one of her first patients had on her. "He was being treated for colon cancer. He did well for two to three years. The cancer came back and spread. But he called it as it was, no pussyfooting around. He taught me, 'Enjoy the time you have because nobody knows when it'll be taken away from you.'"
She's learned a lot from her patients, but Graber also gives a lot.
A note with the red velvet cupcakes read: "To Amy, my Angel! You're the best! Thanks for everything you do! God bless you."

King bounces back with blowout win over South San
Mustangs had nine plays go for 25 yards or more
CORPUS CHRISTI - King had one big play after another against San Antonio South San on Friday night to rebound from last week's district opening loss.
The Mustangs had nine key plays of 25 yards or more — five of those in the first half — and had another 61-yard run called back by a penalty. Those big gainers helped King build a 42-point, third-quarter lead en route to a 58-7 District 28-5A football triumph over the winless Bobcats for homecoming at Cabaniss Field.
The Mustangs (5-2 overall, 1-1 in district play), who finished the game with six rushing touchdowns, bounced back nicely after committing six turnovers in their 48-0 loss to San Antonio East Central in their 28-5A opener.
"As a coach you never know how they will react but our kids are so resilient," said Mustangs coach Eddie Hesseltine, whose team has won five of its past six games. "I'm so proud of them for the way they bounced back from that loss. It's a tribute to all of the hard work that they've put in to the program the last two years."
King running back Julian Bost had a pair of 54-yard touchdown runs against South San (0-7, 0-2), the first of which came on the first play from scrimmage by the Mustangs' offense. Dominique Lane's 36 yard return on the opening kickoff set up Bost's scoring run.
Running back Rudy Alonzo later had a 61-yard scoring run negated by a holding penalty. No matter, Alonzo ended up throwing a 55-yard TD pass to an open running back Todd Wilkinson on that drive. It was all part of a double pass, as Alonzo first caught a lateral from King quarterback Bronze Jackson.
Alonzo, who finished with 129 yards rushing on 12 attempts and two TDs, added a 25-yard TD run in the final minute of the first half, which followed J.D. Rodriguez's 16 yard punt return for the Mustangs.
Lane opened the third quarter with a 67-yard scoring run. Kicker Ramon De La Rosa's extra point gave King a 35-7 advantage.
Alonzo later had a 43-yard TD run and Jackson threw a 30-yard scoring pass to wide receiver Chris Siebenthall to give the Mustangs a 49-7 lead late in the third quarter.
Bost also had more than 100 yards rushing in the game for King, as he finished with 113 of the Mustangs' 409 rushing yards and two TDs. Lane, who later added a 43-yard scoring run, also finished with 101 yards rushing on six carries and the two TDs.
King didn't play a perfect first half, as the Mustangs missed an extra point, a 34-yard field goal, fumbled at its own 28-yard line, roughed the Bobcats kicker to set up South San's lone score of the first half and had a two-point conversion pass negated by an illegible man downfield penalty.
Defensive lineman Wilson Velazquez and linebackers Paul Alcorta and Marquis Harvey had fumble recoveries in the game for King.
"It's always great to get a win," said Hesseltine, whose team scored the final 45 points of the game. "We'll take a lot of momentum from this but we're not satisfied. It's a tough district and we'll have to be ready for the next one (as well)."

Not sure if this is just me, but when I click either arrow to expand the siderbars, I cannot collapse them. I am able to collapse the top dropdown menu.
Also, nothing in the demo seems testable (i.e. cannot click radio buttons, checkboxes, links, pictures, etc.). Not sure if that is by design or not.
Anyway, the theme does look good.
can you tell me your OS and Browser ?
I'm with drsutphin87,
can't seem to collapse the side menus. But still a very creative admin theme. keep up the good work and hope to see more admins from you.
I'm having the same problems, but on top of the above I can't seem to click on anything at all on the page e.g. the checkboxes etc.
I hope this is just my problem with my crappy work PC because the form page looks very sleek so good l uck with sales
Don't work: - notification/info boxes (button close) - siderbars - cant select a form field.
the only thing that works is the topbar =P
firefox 3, win7
I have repaired all issues … seems to work good now.
I will send updated files for review.
thanks for your time!

- "Forgot possword? or Problems with login?" nu e foarte bine pozitionat

imi poti spune ce browser si OS folosesti(sau ai folosit in momentul testarii?)
o zi placuta, multumesc!
Hi! Great theme! Is it possible that the top nav is open by default?
Best wishes!
Hi,sure, delete
from #top_menu_content
this should work…
I have a multi-authors WordPress blog.
The default back-end is a bit too classic and technical for users.
I am wondering if this admin skin supports multi-authors? (Not multi -sites) My members (authors) should only be focusing on writing articles and read announcements and change profile etc… They should only be viewing their own posts, comments, media, profile whereas Admin (myself) can view all users' posts, comments etc… Users should not be changing any settings, plugins etc…
Also, I am using Theme My Login, is this compatible with it?
This admin skin plugin will not cause any conflict with the theme (front end) that I am using right?
Btw, I am using the latest WordPress 3.1, does it support WordPress 3.1 Menu?
regards, Will
This is HTML version, doesn't work on WordPress …
Hey, could you send me the updates for the suckerfish menus? im still having problems on ie7 =( and ie8 compatability mode.
On Ie8, the rendering is a little slow.
Could you give me some pointers where i can tweak such things?
Best Regards, Shaun
Soon I will work on it … to solve the bug
Does it support multi-level menu?
No, you can replace it with superfish
i can not see the form .. where is it , with the checkbox, radio buttons, date picker, progress bar ..
also there,s nothing opens up wen i click on edit or delete icon ..
Please suggest.
Please upgrade your browser or use another one, I have test it with FF6 , IE 9 and it's work
Live preview broken
Would have been nice to get a preview, but http://demo.zmeutz.com/ is down :/

Chatsford 6-Cup White Filter
Item Code: 268094
Free delivery over £40
In stock
très bonne qualité
This tea filter is great.
I use this all the time. It is easy to empty just tip it upside down and tap or shake it for a couple of seconds and rinse it out. It makes using loose tea fast and easy. It does end up tea stained but that is not surprising. Being able to easily lift it out means your tea doesn't end up super strong, and its big enough to let the water properly diffuse through the tea leaves.
There is also a smaller version of this which you can use fairly comfortably in tea pots it isn't designed for with a smaller opening, or a mug.

Northeast storm aftermath - how a smarter grid could help
By: SGN Staff
By Jonas Olsen
Several Northeast states are up in arms over the time it has taken their utilities to restore service after the freak snowstorm in October. The uproar made me realize once again that our industry is doing a poor job of tying smart grid to customer benefits - in this case, to the benefit of faster restoration. When Jonas Olsen of On-Ramp Wireless offered up his perspective, I wanted to run it as a reminder. When planning your next move and making your next rate case, don't forget to consider upgrades that can make the grid more resilient against disasters. Your regulators and ratepayers will thank you. - Jesse Berst
The historic storm that struck the Northeast continued to affect hundreds of thousands of residents, often for several days, as utilities worked to restore power. Just the costs of getting things back to normal is exorbitant, as employees were brought in from other states, paid double for their time, and provided room and board while they worked. The timing for this disaster could not have been worse, coming right off the heels of Hurricane Irene.
However, if we had communications technologies in place before the storms, we could drastically reduce the length of outages - beneficial for consumers and utilities alike.
So the first question is: how do we build a smarter, connected grid?
Start with wireless sensors
One of the first places to start is with sensing technology. Having better sensors within the distribution grid, both above and below ground, would help utilities identify where the damage is. This is critical for a utility because of the massive amounts of hard-to-reach endpoints in harsh environments including substations, distribution circuits, pad-mount boxes and below ground vaults. Finding the problem faster will lead to better prioritization of tasks and speedier restoration of service to customers.
But which communication system works effectively given these circumstances? Automated sensing applications, connected wirelessly, can provide feedback to utilities in near real-time, allowing them to pinpoint the exact location of the damage and react. By constantly sending utilities small bursts of information from distribution grid sensors, smart meters, smart transformers, power lines and substations, they can save time and manpower associated with sending someone to the endpoint to determine what the problem is and how to fix it. During large disasters like the Northeast storm, having real-time data can make all the difference in planning and prioritizing outage responses.
Utilities should be considering wireless distribution automation options before the next major storm or natural disaster. There are sensor options with low upfront costs available that could potentially save a utility millions of dollars.
If you're a utility and you have any other words of wisdom for how to prepare, please use the comment form below.

A Conservative Misinterpretation Of The Laffer Curve
If you're reading a blog like Right Wing News, you've probably heard of the Laffer Curve. If you haven't, here's the self-explanatory graph:
Long story short, what Arthur Laffer is trying to get across is that contrary to what some people believe, tax increases DON'T ALWAYS increase revenue to the government and tax decreases DON'T ALWAYS decrease revenue.
This is because people's behavior changes. As tax rates go higher, people are incentivized to work less, cheat on their taxes, and find ways to protect their income from the tax man. Once the tax rate gets up to 100%, the question becomes: Why work at all since every dime will be handed over to the government?
So, what Laffer is saying is that there is some optimal point, where the government can maximize its revenue, and raising taxes beyond that point will be counterproductive.
Makes sense, right?
Okay, now here's where I've noticed some conservatives misinterpreting this theory lately: They've come to believe that tax cuts will inevitably produce more revenue and tax increases will inevitably decrease revenue.
This certainly can happen and it often has happened. But, and pay close attention to this, either a tax increase OR a tax cut may increase revenue to the treasury. Moreover, it's entirely possible that even though the revenue going to the government may increase after a tax cut, it may have increased EVEN MORE had taxes been raised.
If you don't understand how this can be, then you don't quite get the Laffer Curve.
Here's what you have to understand: The Laffer Curve measures MAXIMUM revenue. If you cut taxes, it may stimulate economic activity, increase the income earned by the population, and lead to more money coming into the treasury. On the other hand, raising taxes may slow economic activity, but the increased amount of tax revenue paid per person may more than make up for it.
Here's a SUPER SIMPLISTIC example to show you what I'm talking about.
Let's say the tax base consists of 10 people paying $2 a year in taxes. That means the government receives $20 per year in tax revenue. Suddenly, taxes are raised to $3 a year. Because of that, 2 people decide to stop work entirely because it's not worth their time to work so hard at that level of taxation.
So, how much money will the government take in? 8×3=$24. In other words, the level of economic activity dropped, but the government still took in more revenue.
This is something that Arthur Laffer has noted,
The Laffer Curve itself does not say whether a tax cut will raise or lower revenues. Revenue responses to a tax rate change will depend upon the tax system in place, the time period being considered, the ease of movement into underground activities, the level of tax rates already in place, the prevalence of legal and accounting-driven tax loopholes, and the proclivities of the productive factors.
Long story short: A society with a low tax rate is going to be much more prosperous than a society with a high tax rate. Moreover, can tax cuts increase the amount of revenue coming into the government? Absolutely. Can tax increases reduce the amount of revenue coming into the government? Absolutely. However, that's not a given. Raising taxes can also increase revenue coming into the government. In fact, if our primary goal was to maximize revenue coming into the government, which in my opinion, shouldn't be something we should necessarily strive for anyway, it's entirely possible that raising taxes would be the best way to do that.
