Vinny Mauro
Perfect XC/AM Shorts
These things are awesome. They are light and stretchy so they feel great for a long day of pedaling. They fit true to size, and for me (6' tall, 190 lbs, wearing size 34) they hit mid knee cap. This is perfect because while riding they go up just above the knee, making for zero restriction of movement. Then when I get done riding they are long enough to conceal my pearly whites and look like a normal casual short. The chamois isn't mind blowing, but works. I've owned these for 4 days, but already done two 20+ mile days in the mountains in comfort. Lots of good options these days for bike shorts in this price range, but these definitely do not disappoint.

This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/484,561 filed Jul. 1, 2003 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/534,883 filed Jan. 5, 2004 titled "Correction For Circuit Self-Heating", which are incorporated by reference.
Self-heating of devices in an integrated circuit (IC) is a well-known phenomenon. Devices that dissipate power will heat to a temperature that is determined largely by the thermal resistance of the device. Since many operating characteristics of a device are temperature dependent, self-heating affects device performance.
Two dominant trends in high-speed integrated circuit (IC) design are increasing device speed and decreasing device size. These have been achieved at the expense of higher current density and increased power density. Consequently, devices are operating at elevated temperatures that affect performance. Self-heating is a concern for all circuitry, but it is especially troublesome for precision bias circuitry. Bias circuitry is used to establish steady state or "quiescent" current and voltage levels in other circuitry. For example, in a transconductance cell, the gain is proportional to the bias current through the cell. If the bias circuit used to set the bias current through the gain cell is susceptible to self-heating effects, the performance of the gain cell is adversely impacted.
Bias circuits often include reference cells, which are used to generate reference voltages and currents. A type of reference cell known as a bandgap cell generates reference signals using forward-biased PN junctions, most usually, bipolar transistors having a reliable relationship between collector current (IC) and base-emitter voltage (VBE). For a given value of collector current, VBE is complimentary to absolute temperature (CTAT), i.e., has a negative slope when plotted against absolute temperature. Thus, a single transistor can be used to generate a CTAT reference voltage. However, a reference signal which is either stable with temperature or proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) is more often needed.
Generating a PTAT signal is commonly accomplished by operating two bipolar transistors at different current densities. It is well known that for two transistors operating at different current densities, the difference in base-emitter voltages is given by:
A stable reference signal can be generated by adding a PTAT signal to a CTAT signal which has a slope of the same magnitude but opposite sign. The classic bandgap circuit for generating a stable reference signal using this technique is shown in
The bases of transistors Q1 and Q2 are connected together, while the emitters are connected through resistor R2. Transistors Q1 and Q2 are loaded by resistors RC1 and RC2 which are typically selected to be equal. High gain amplifier A drives the bases of Q1 and Q2 so as to equalize the currents IC1 and IC2. The emitter areas A1 and A2 of transistors Q1 and Q2 are unequal, and since IC1=IC2, the transistors operate at different current densities J1 and J2. Thus, according to Eq. (1), VBE for the two transistors are unequal, and the difference voltage ΔVBE appears across resistor R2. The current IP through R2 is therefore given by IP=ΔVBE/R2. However, since the current through both transistors is equal, the current through R1 is twice the current through R2, and the voltage VPTAT across R1 is:
Since VBE for Q1 is CTAT, the output voltage VOUT is the sum of a PTAT voltage across R1 and a CTAT voltage across the base-emitter junction of Q1. By proper selection of component values, the slopes of VPTAT and VCTAT can be made equal in magnitude, and since they are opposite in sign, VOUT will be stable with variations in temperature.
Another circuit used to generate a stable reference signal is shown in
The circuits shown in
Resistors R13 and R14 are used to sense the current through Q11 and Q12. Transistors Q13 and Q14 serve two functions. First, they sense the voltage difference at the collectors of Q11 and Q12. Additionally, transistors Q13 and Q14 clamp the voltages at the collectors of Q11 and Q12 respectively at one VBE above the common supply voltage line VGND. This clamping effect reduces the power supply headroom required by transistors Q11 and Q12.
Transistors Q13 and Q15 and resistor R13 form a loop "A" which sets the voltage at the emitter of Q15, thereby maintaining the current through Q11 and Q12. Transistors Q14 and Q16 form a second loop "B" which drives the bases of Q11 and Q12 to balance the currents through the respective transistors. Because Q15 and Q16 are configured as emitter followers, they are both loadable as output nodes.
This patent encompasses multiple inventive principles. For convenience, the various inventions disclosed in this application may sometimes be referred to collectively or individually as "the present invention". It will be understood, however, that these inventions have independent utility and are independently patentable. In some cases, additional benefits are realized when some of the principles are utilized in various combinations with one another, thus giving rise to yet more patentable inventions.
These principles may be realized in numerous different embodiments. Only some preferred embodiments are described below. Although some specific details are shown for purposes of illustrating the preferred embodiments, other effective arrangements can be devised in accordance with the inventive principles of this patent. Thus, the inventive principles are not limited to the specific details disclosed herein.
To illustrate one of the inventive principles of this patent, a circuit self-heating problem will now be described in the context of a gain cell and an associated bias cell. The inventive principles, however, are not limited to use with circuits having this specific arrangement. Referring to
The bias cell 10 is based on a classic ΔVBE cell built around NPN transistors Q21 and Q22 and resistor Rg. The bases of Q21 and Q22 are connected together and provide the bias output signal VBIAS. The emitter of Q21, which has an area of "e", is connected to a node N22. The emitter of Q22, which has an area of "Me", is connected to N22 through resistor Rg. Node N22 is connected to GND through another resistor Rgg. The collectors of Q21 and Q22 are connected to a power supply through load resistors R. An operational amplifier (op amp) 24 is arranged to drive the commonly connected bases of Q21 and Q22 so as to maintain the collectors of Q21 and Q22 at the same potential. This forces Q21 to conduct with a current density M times larger than Q22, thereby generating the ΔVBE across Rg. The resulting current IP through Rg is proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT). The bias signal VBIAS drives Q23 in the gain cell so as to replicate the PTAT current in Q23 such that IT is also PTAT, and in this case, scaled by the factor C. The gain A of the gain cell is given by A=−gmRc where the transconductance gm=IT/VT, and IT is the bias current through the gain cell. Therefore, A=−ITRc/VT. So the gain is proportional to the bias current and inversely proportional to temperature. Since the bias current IT through the gain cell is PTAT, the gain remains stable versus overall circuit temperature and sheet resistance.
One problem with the arrangement described above, however, is that the power density of Q21 is greater than Q22, so the ΔVBE generated across Rg differs from the expected value of VTln(M) due to the self-heating of Q21. Moreover, as the supply voltage varies, the power density in Q21 changes more dramatically than in Q22, thus causing the ΔVBE across Rg to vary with changes in the supply voltage. These effects cause the gain of the differential pair to vary dramatically with changes in supply voltage.
Some of the inventive principles of this patent relate to the use of cascode transistors in a reference cell. For example, in the circuit of
Some additional inventive principles of this patent relate to replicating the thermal characteristics of a component that may be coupled to a bias circuit.
The embodiment of
The ΔVBE cell is loaded by transistors Q44 and Q45 which, along with Q46, form a multiple-output current mirror. Transistors Q44 and Q45 mirror the current in Q46 which is diode-connected. The current through Q46 is set by the collector current in Q43. The base of Q43 is connected to the collector of Q41, and its emitter is connected to the emitter of Q42 at node N42. Thus, Q43 is included in a feedback loop that forces equal currents through Q41 and Q42. The bias signal VBIAS may be taken at the base of Q43, or at any other convenient point depending on the application.
Transistor Q43 is fabricated to match another transistor Q47 which may be coupled to the bias circuit 40. In this example, the other transistor Q47 is part of another circuit 50 and generates a tail current IT that biases a gain cell 46. Because transistors Q43 and Q47 are matched, Q43 experiences the same amount of self-heating as Q47. Therefore, as the self-heating in Q47 changes in response to varying operating conditions (e.g., supply voltage), the self-heating in Q43 adjusts the bias signal VBIAS to compensate for the self-heating in Q47.
Numerous enhancements and refinements may be made to the embodiment of
The loop equation for the loop including the ΔVBE cell may be written as follows:
Thus, the bias current IT′ is no longer PTAT, but instead is PTAT plus a correction factor that may cause the gm cell to maintain a constant gain as the supply voltage changes. Node N42 may be viewed as a summing node at which a PTAT current flowing through Q42 is summed with a compensation current flowing through Q43.
To reduce current consumption in the bias circuit, the emitter areas of Q43 and Q47 may be scaled. For example, assume the gain stage 70 requires a bias current of IT=500 μA and the emitter area of Q47 is twice as large as Q43 (that is, C=2). Transistor Q43 can then be operated at 250 μA which is half the current of IT. Assuming an emitter area ratio in the ΔVBE cell of, for example M=14, Rg would then be determined by Rg=VTln(14)/250 μA=273Ω.
If resistor R41 is removed, resistors R61 and R62 may also be removed. Resistors R61 and R62 adjust the current in Q61, Q63 and Q62, Q64. If R61=R62=R41, then the current through Q61, Q62, Q63, Q64 is IP.
The replication component Q43 is again included in a feedback loop through multiple-output current mirror Q44, Q45, Q46. The collector of Q43 is connected to the diode connected transistor Q46, its emitter is connected to the emitter of Q42 through resistor R43, and its base is connected to the VBIAS point through a beta compensation resistor R60. The base of Q43 may be utilized as a bandgap reference signal VGBAP.
Although the bias signal VBIAS may be taken directly from the emitter of Q64, the bias signal may also be applied to a target circuit through a buffer amplifier arrangement as shown in
Some of the embodiments disclosed in this patent application have been described with specific signals implemented as current-mode or voltage mode signals, but the inventive principles also contemplate other types of signals, whether characterized as voltages, currents, or otherwise. Likewise, some semiconductor devices are described as being specifically NPN or PNP bipolar junction (BJT) type transistors, but other types of devices may be utilized. And although some of the specific circuit topologies have been shown for purposes of illustrating the preferred embodiments, numerous other structures are possible, and yet others can be devised in accordance with the inventive principles of this patent application. Power supplies have been illustrated as having positive polarity, but power supply configurations are possible. Some embodiments have been shown with a replica device in a closed feedback loop which generally improves accuracy, but the inventive principles are not limited to closed loop configurations.
Thus, the embodiments described herein can be modified in arrangement and detail without departing from the inventive concepts. Accordingly, such changes and modifications are considered to fall within the scope of the following claims.

Airbus' successor to the A320 will be assembled entirely in Hamburg, as part of an arrangement to distribute workshare more fairly between the airframer's primary owner states.
The replacement for the A320 is not likely to enter service before the end of the next decade.
But a spokesman for Airbus says that EADS has "reconfirmed" to the German Government that the successor aircraft will be built at the Hamburg facility.
The agreement will restore workshare equity after the decision was taken to centre production of the A350 long-haul twin-jet at Toulouse, and comes as the Airbus governments are finalising negotiations on supporting the A350.
"Fair balance is paramount," says the Airbus spokesman, adding that the work distribution also depends on competitiveness.
A320-family production is carried out at three sites: Toulouse plus the more modern assembly plants at Hamburg and Tianjin.
Airbus is turning out the aircraft at 36 per month, of which 17 are built in Toulouse, 18 in Hamburg and one in the new Chinese plant at Tianjin.
From October this rate will fall back to 34, with an "equal number" built in France and Germany, says the spokesman.
While the successor aircraft will be assembled solely in Hamburg, Airbus stresses that production of the A320 family will continue at all the current sites.

Why is Madame Loisel unhappy with her life at the beginning of "The Necklace"?
3 Answers | Add Yours
The short answer to this is that she was born too poor -- too poor for her tastes and her desires.
She was a pretty and charming girl, who thought that she should have been born into a life of luxury. But instead, she was born with parents who were "employees."
Because of this, she was dissatisfied with everything about her life. She did not like the way her house looked, she did not like the food they had. She was not even satisfied with her maid because she wasn't high class enough either.
She thinks that if all her stuff were high class, she'd be happy.
In "The Necklace," Madame Loisel is dissatisfied because she is
one of those pretty and charming girls born, as though fate had blundered over her, into a family of artisans. She had no dowry, no expectations, no means of getting known, understood, loved, and wedded by a man of distinction....
For Mathilde Loisel, she has married beneath what she should have only because her father could not provide her a dowry which would have allowed her to marry a man of the aristocracy. Instead, as beautiful as she is, she has had to settle for a husband from the bourgeosie, a government clerk.
Since money and material possessions have prevented her from advancing in society and living the life she desires, Madame Loisel perceives material value possessions and social status as the quintessential values. This perception, tragically, becomes Mathilde Loisel's nemesis.

CLEVELAND April 13, 2010 Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) School of Medicine has received $7,942,500 million in federal stimulus funds from the Ohio Health Information Partnership (OHIP), the state designated entity for health information exchange development. The funding will position CWRU School of Medicine as a regional extension center (REC) which allows it to help 1,765 health care providers in Lorain, Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties advance the use of health information technology (HIT) in their practices. This award builds on the recent Center of Excellence designation by the State of Ohio to CWRU School of Medicine for "Translating Technology and Research into Better Health" which included HIT as a major component.
The CWRU School of Medicine is one of seven RECs in Ohio established by OHIP and made possible by funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). An eighth REC was awarded directly by the federal government to HealthBridge, a not-for-profit health information exchange serving Greater Cincinnati and surrounding areas.
"Electronic health records tend to be financially out of reach for private practitioners and small practices," said Julie Rehm, PhD, senior associate dean of the CWRU School of Medicine and associate vice president of strategic initiatives for CWRU.
The federal and state initiative is providing smaller primary care practices with an incentive to early adoption of health information technology.
"If healthcare providers adopt early they are eligible for additional reimbursement from the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services until 2011. After that, the reimbursement declines and penalties kick in starting in 2015," Rehm stated.
The REC endeavor, as directed by the federal government, is specifically targeted towards primary care providers, specifically, physiciansMDs or DOs who are family physicians, general internal, pediatric or OB/GYN (does

Weekly Reflection (NEW!)

Weekly Reflection
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Please read Revelation 4 in your Bible.
One Wednesday evening some time ago, I was teaching the confirmands (7th graders) about the meaning of Baptism. As the lecture came to its conclusion, I told the class that we would be going into the church to gather around the font, and that once we got there I would give them a blessing by making the sign of the cross on their foreheads. One girl's hand shot up in the air, "I'm not going to do that! No way. Not me!" "Well," I replied, "why don't you just try it." (Seventh graders distrust anything new.) "Aw, do I have to?" she whined. "No, you don't have to, but you do have to stand in the circle with the rest of us," I conceded. She was relieved, "Oh, good."
We left the classroom and went into the church where we gathered around the font. One by one I started blessing the students. Dipping my hand in the water and making the sign of the cross on their foreheads, I would say their name and "Child of God, you have been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. You are God's precious child, forgiven, held, and accepted." The 20 or so students standing there were completely silent each receiving his or her blessing in turn.
When I finished blessing the class, the reluctant girl bounded forward and cried out, "Bless me too! Bless me too!" She put her hand to her forehead and held back her bangs. I blessed her as we both broadly smiled receiving the grace of the moment. What changed her mind? Why did she want to be blessed? Pat Keifert in Welcoming the Stranger would say that by everyone participating in the blessing "liturgical space" had been created and she was made to feel comfortable. She knew it would be all right.
We do many weird things in worship that we wouldn't normally do because of liturgical space. We confess our sins. We listen as people read out loud to us. We sing in front of people. We listen to someone speak even though there won't be a test afterwards. We might hug a complete stranger, drink out of the same cup, eat a little piece of bread and call it a meal, and pray out loud.
Worship lifts us into a different reality-into God's reality-perhaps only briefly, but we are lifted out of the reality of this world long enough so that we can be attentive to God and the Holy Spirit can be attentive to us. I truly believe we need that. We need to see the world from God's perspective of unconditional love. We need to set aside our noisy lives and hear God's story. We need to place our lives in the center of the one in whom we live and move and have our being, God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Pray that God through worship will lift you out of the harsh reality of this world into God's loving embrace so that you might bring that love to others.Christs Peace,Pastor Scott412-682-6886

The comprehensive bibliographies were designed primarily for use by students taking modules taught by Hugh McClintock in the Institute of Urban Planning, School of the Built Environment, University of Nottingham, U.K.
The lists therefore cover a very wide range of current planning topics but do not include all. Most of the bibliographies are regularly updated.
The lists particularly focus on items on planning in England (and especially the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire areas) rather than other parts of the UK, although some important items from Wales and Scotland are also included. Several of the reading lists contain a specific section on (other) European / International material.
There is a separate list of Planning and Planning-related organisations, contact details and websites. Planning and Planning Related Organisations and Websites
With the retirement of Hugh McClintock from Nottingham University in June 2006 the ongoing management of the online planning resource has been taken over by RUDI. The resource will continue to be freely available, however RUDI will need to secure sponsorship for this area long term in order for it to remain free to view. Please email suggestions / interest for sponsorship to Carey Baker
Suggestions for additional items, in any of the lists, are welcome, as well as fuller details of any incomplete references. Please send this to François Danthon

When our own words fail us, remember his
What does one say in the aftermath of a tragedy like the one we experienced in Newtown, Conn., last week? Silence seems to be a good alternative. There are no words that will make sense of a senseless act of violence. There is just shock and anger and fear in its aftermath.
It doesn't matter whether or not we knew anyone in Newtown or had ever even been near that place, we are all part of a nation that is grieving deep loss and suffering intense heartbreak.
How does one talk about the coming joy of Christmas when we are made afraid by gunfire in the air (sometimes even in our own community) and we are stunned in the knowledge innocent blood has been spilled onto the ground? We might talk like Mary and Martha did when their brother Lazarus died. Jesus arrived four days later and the sisters said to him, "If you had been here Lord my brother would not have died."
How does one talk of hope in this season of Advent now stained with human loss and deeply scarred by tragedy? We might talk as the prophet Zephaniah does — "The king of Israel is in your midst; you shall fear disaster no more ... do not fear and do not let your hands grow weak ... I will remove disaster from you."
We might speak as the Apostle Paul does — "The Lord is near. Don't worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
We might sing as Isaiah does — "Surely God is my salvation, I will trust and will not be afraid, for the Lord God is my strength and my might ... Shout aloud and sing for joy, O royal Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel."
The devil came to town at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Evil visited the community there. Yet, the Lord is near! A holy child is about to be born in the middle of a cold night in Bethlehem. And, for those who grieve today, the Lord is here! Jesus arrived and spoke a word bringing Lazarus out of the tomb. Yes, the Lord is in our midst!
How does one speak in the aftermath of tragedy? We speak as God speaks to us and in so doing the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We can trust and not be afraid for the Lord God is our strength.

Mexico Fights Drug Cartels in Acapulco
MEXICO CITY -- Mexican soldiers killed 16 gunmen in a battle with drug traffickers in a down-at-the-heels area of Acapulco, a once glamorous tourist destination that has become a battleground in the country's drug wars.
Saturday night, soldiers laid siege to a house for two hours as Mexican tourists sought cover in nearby hotels. Two Mexican soldiers, including a captain, were killed, and another nine soldiers were wounded, Mexico's defense ministry said. The gunmen are believed to be members of the Beltran Leyva drug gang, which now dominates drug trafficking here.
The soldiers arrived at the house on a tip and were met with heavy fire from the gunmen inside, who threw some fifty grenades, the Associated Press reported, citing a Mexican army colonel. Once inside, the soldiers found four handcuffed Guerrero state police officers who said they were being held captive by the gunmen, the AP said.
The violence took place in the old town of Acapulco, once a getaway for Hollywood stars such as Johnny Weissmuller and John Wayne. The area, a few miles from Acapulco's luxury hotels, is now full of cheaper hotels that cater to Mexican tourists.
Resurging violence is the latest blow to the Mexican tourism industry, still reeling from the April influenza epidemic that turned many tourist destinations into ghost towns.
President Felipe Calderón has made dismantling Mexico's powerful drug cartels his main priority since coming to office in 2006, sending some 45,000 soldiers to combat the country's warring cartels. Since then, more than 10,000 people have died in drug-related violence.
U.S.-born Edgar Valdez Villarreal, known as "La Barbie," and the top enforcer for the Beltran Leyva gang, was believed to have been in the house, according to someone close to the military.
Mexico's defense ministry said soldiers recovered a small arsenal from the site, including two grenade launchers, 12 fragmentation grenades, and 36 automatic rifles.

May 2002 Meeting Summary
- Panel presentation by Elena Gonzalez, Director, Office of Collaborative Action and Dispute Resolution and John Mahoney, Senior Analyst, Office of Planning and Performance Management
- Conceptual agreement reached on the following points:
- Use of internal vs. external neutrals
- Simplified administrative procedures
- Types of disputes covered
- Types of ADR processes offered
- Multiple entry points
- Voluntary vs. mandatory participation
From May 20-22, 2002, the Office of Collaborative Action and Dispute Resolution convened the third meeting of the Department's Workplace ADR Design Team for the purpose of creating a department wide workplace dispute resolution system. Under the direction of Carolyn Burrell, coordinator of the program, the team is responsible for designing a comprehensive system for addressing any concern a departmental employee may have with respect to the workplace. The team, made up from representatives of bureaus and functional areas (EEO, Human Resources, Solicitors Office, etc.), has been charged by Mike Trujillo via a formal charter to develop an integrated and unified workplace dispute resolution system that every employee will have access to. The system will combine elements of pre-existing programs (CORE, EEO Plus) for the purposes of eliminating confusion, reducing administrative duplication, and maximizing resources.
On the first day the team heard from Elena Gonzalez, Director, Office of Collaborative Action and Dispute Resolution, and John Mahoney, Senior Analyst, Office of Planning and Performance Management. They also reached agreement on a policy that would utilize both internal and external neutrals and provide for some modicum of choice by the parties. Discussions during the second and third days focused on reaching agreement on a simplified system for case administration and payment of neutrals across bureau lines. The group agreed that all employee concerns, except for those otherwise covered under law, would be considered for acceptance into the program; That a multitude of ADR processes and techniques would be offered; that the system would provide for multiple entry/access points, and that it would be participation would be compulsory by management.
The next meeting is scheduled for July 22-24, 2002. In the meantime, numerous work groups were created the work done by the full committee. These groups will operate under the guidance of Carolyn Burrell and Pete Swanson, facilitator. The July meeting will focus on fleshing out proposals of the working groups, defining and developing products, and developing a detailed outline for the final report.
The team is estimating the time frame for completion to be six to nine months and will provide a report to the Director of the Office of Collaborative Action and Dispute Resolution, Elena Gonzalez. For any question on the team or its charge, please call Carolyn Burrell at (202)-219-0814.

Product description
OSCE examinations are used worldwide as a critical part of medical student assessment, yet there is often little preparation for them provided by medical schools. The Unofficial Guide to Passing OSCEs is intended to fill this gap. It includes over 100 scenarios, covering medical history taking, clinical examination, practical skills, communication skills, plus specialties, meaning that everything is covered in one place. To bring the cases to life, over 300 full color clinical photos are included, including patients with features of important diseases. It also includes clear outlines of how to relay the assessment of a patient to an examiner or to other doctors on a ward round, and model answers to common questions put to students/junior doctors in OSCEs. This book has relevance beyond examinations, for post graduate further education and as a day-to-day reference for professionals.

Author information
Zeshan Qureshi is a Paediatrician based at Great Ormond Street and the Institute of Child Health. He graduated with distinction from the university of Southampton, and has published and presented research work extensively and internationally in the fields of pharmacology and medical education. Whilst working in Edinburgh he was part of the leadership team developing a near peer teaching programme, where by junior doctors, throughout south east scotland, were both trained to teach, and delivered teaching across every hospital in the area. This book is an extension of this philosophy: that junior doctors and fresh graduates know how to express complex ideas in order for it to be easily understood from a students perspective. That junior doctors can teach, and write in a complimentary way to senior doctors: one that is friendly and fun, easy to read and relevant to both exams, and the day to day to life of junior doctors.
Customer reviews
By Victoria Rizzo 11 Apr 2012
This is a really great book for all those students currently studying medicine. It's well-structured and has a stepwise approach to history-taking and clinical examinations in various scenarios with clear pictures of clinical signs in real patients. It's concise yet has everything, including a number of speciality subjects such as paediatrics, orthopaedics, psychiatry and others. It has a knack of tackling complex topics in not only a clear and understandable manner, but also an attractive one. Furthermore it has extremely useful information about the skills required to interpret clinical findings on ECG, X-ray, fundoscopy etc, which you will find indispensable once you start clinical years! All complimented with tit-bits of experience, tips and case-studies from a number of professionals and other medical students.
Review quote
"The chapters are clearly written, in simple language that should appeal to students and reflect the fact that the authors themselves have recently been OSCE candidates. They are all part of what I believe is a genuine re-invigoration of the art of teaching amongst junior medical staff." -- Simon Maxwell, Professor of Student Learning "This book is amazing and I don't think I would have passed my exams without it" -- Cath Roels, Medical Student

Oakes Farms News
The Oakes Farms Story
The Oakes Farms story sprouted from tragedy in the 1930s when great-grandpa William Oakes lost his leg and ultimately died when a large boat slammed into a bridge in St. Georges. State reparations for Ma Oakes and her children came in the form of a new house at the foot of a newly constructed replacement bridge. But it was 11-year old Banny Oakes who stepped forward to support the family and sold produce at the foot of the bridge to travelers crossing it.

Odyssey behind, Congolese children just want to sing
They come to Maxwell Presbyterian Church on Saturday mornings with smiles, anticipation and a variety of languages.
They are the children of Congolese families who have left the uncertainties of refugee camps scattered around countries in Africa for a more stable life in America and specifically in Lexington.
But for a couple of hours, they gather at the church, put aside the stress of adjusting to a foreign culture, and they sing.
Ranging in age from 3 to about 15, the children are members of The Refugee Children's Choir, a group created by Barbara Kleine, director of Kentucky Refugee Ministries in Lexington.
"It just seemed like a great way to give the children something to do, something outside of their homes and schools," Kleine said. "It was a way for them to learn more about our culture and to learn English."
Although she takes credit for the idea, Kleine knew she needed more musical expertise than she could provide to get the group up and running.
"I am the least musical person in the country," she said. "I have no talents in this. This is pretty much a God-driven thing."
With seed money from Partners for Youth and Crossroads Christian Church, Kleine put out feelers to church music directors and to people connected to the University of Kentucky School of Music.
Darnaby Kerns, a student in music education, saw an email seeking a music director for a new refugee choir. He didn't have much experience in teaching music to young people so he thought it would be a good move.
Kerns talked with Lisa Braswell, a friend who had graduated from the school of music, and she agreed to help and be the accompanist.
"She and I talked about it and emailed them and said 'You have a team,'" he said.
They didn't audition or anything. "It fell into our laps," he said.
"We did not have people beating down the door," Kleine said, laughing.
Kerns and Braswell were joined by Tanner Stevens, also a music student, and together they started the choir.
"We didn't know if we were going to have four children or 40," Kleine said. "They have taken it from scratch."
Bethany Atkins, youth services coordinator at KRM, said the young people are all Congolese, but they have lived in several countries as their families fled the humanitarian crisis that was the result of a five-year civil war and ongoing conflict.
Most, she said, speak Swahili and French in addition to their regional languages.
Every year, KRM helps more than 250 refugees from throughout the world find homes in Lexington.
The choir's first practice was last fall and, interestingly enough, language was not the most difficult barrier, Kerns said.
"The age difference is what worried us," he said. "They ranged in age from 3 years old to middle schoolers. We didn't really know how to teach them as a unified group."
There were about 20 members at first, he said, but has grown to about 25, with some coming more regularly than others. The first group included Nepalese students, but they have since dropped out.
Kleine said she hopes to encourage some Bhutanese and Iraqi students to join, too.
"Music and singing is in the Congolese culture," she said. "It is more familiar to them. But we hope to expand it at some point and reflect the diversity of refugees that we have."
Regardless, the Congolese students are disappointed when practice is postponed or canceled.
Atkins coordinates the student's transportation to practice as well as to performances. KRM has one van and one driver, Kleine said, but all the children won't fit inside. The agency also gets help with transportation from Centenary United Methodist Church and from Southside Christian Church.
"Saturdays are taken care of but performances are a little bit of trouble," she said. "We have to turn down requests."
But that is the grown-up problems. The children simply want to sing.
Co-directors lead the children in musical games that teach music basics, Kerns said. They hope to split into several groups based on age, so that the older students can learn the techniques of being in a choir while the younger ones are prepared to get to that stage.
Still, together, with the range of ages, the choir manages to elicit a lot of "awhs."
During a performance at the Lyric Theatre & Cultural Arts Center recently, the youngest seemed more interested in their clothing than the audience. But what they lack in professionalism, Kleine said, they more than make up for in spirit.
You will get a chance to see that for yourself on May 18 when the choir has its first official fundraiser. A freewill offering will be collected which will help defray the cost of bus passes to help some of the children get to practice, and for snacks, T-shirts and perhaps some percussion instruments.
The choir will also perform June 13 at the annual fundraiser "Rockin' Round the World," which will also feature a silent auction, a wine pull, and entertainment by Boogie G and the Titanics, at The Livery, 238 East Main Street.
And the choir will perform June 20 at World Refugee Day Summit, at the Central Library. After that, the choir takes a break until August, after school starts.
So, head over to Maxwell Street Presbyterian to see one of their last performances for the season. "It is a fabulous way to see the faces of refugees," Kleine said.
"Some people have never met a refugee or seen a refugee. This will be a real introduction," she added.
A performance by The Refugee Children's Choir
When: 4 p.m., May 18.
Where: Maxwell Presbyterian Church, 180 E. Maxwell Street.

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Michael J. CardenAmerican Forces Press Service
MARAWI, Philippines, March 9, 2010 When he was a child, visiting the Philippines was all about vacationing and fun with the family for C.J. Rueda. But now, at 25, the U.S. Army sergeant views his time in the underprivileged nation as an opportunity to improve his ancestors' country, he said.
"Being here now, I have a job and mission, and it has a very emotional and deep impact on me," said Rueda, a Filipino-American soldier with 5th Psychological Operations Group from Fort Bragg, N.C. "This is where my family's from -- my heritage, my origins. I want to help everyone here as much as I can."
Rueda arrived here in November. His psychological operations team is part of the American military task force charged with training Philippine counterterrorism forces and providing humanitarian assistance in the southern Philippines. The San Diego native said he expects to be deployed here for at least eight months.
Joint Special Operations Task Force Philippines has maintained a U.S. presence here since December 2001, advising and assisting the Philippine armed forces in their fight against terrorism. However, the U.S. military here is prohibited from engaging in direct combat against would-be terrorists, according the Philippine constitution.
Therefore, the majority of the U.S. military focus here works on quality-of-life improvements for Filipinos in the south. American troops help local governments and security forces with infrastructure projects, the development of anti-terrorism education programs and coordination for much-needed health care services. The goal is to gain support for the Philippine government and its security forces, Rueda said.
"The goal is to increase support for the government in areas known to be heavy in terrorist recruitment and in drug trafficking," he said. "Poor countries are a breeding ground for terrorists, and that's why we're here -- to enlighten the population, support security forces and educate the children to make their country better."
Rueda said he longed to be a part of the mission here for many years. He has tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, but rather than possibly going back to the Middle East, he wanted the opportunity to serve in the Philippines, he said. In fact, he enlisted in the Army six years ago as an artilleryman, but changed his military occupation to psychological operations three years ago primarily to improve his chances of deploying here, he said.
"I was in artillery for a while, but wanted to come to [psychological operations] because I knew there'd be a chance to deploy to the Philippines," he said. "I wanted to experience something new, plus, this is my family's heritage."
Rueda, who wasn't fluent in Tagalog before switching to psychological operations, was selected to learn the native language. Following his initial training and language school, he was assigned to a unit that specializes in support for military operations in Southeast Asia, he said.
Because of his ability to speak Tagalog as well as his understanding of the culture, Rueda said, his team's deployment has gone very smoothly. He noted his relationship with Philippine national police in Iligan City here, describing their partnership as "equally committed."
Rueda works closely with police in their outreach efforts to promote good citizenship among the local school children and educate them on the negative effects of terrorism. Security forces, government officials and even local residents seem to be more supportive and trusting because of Rueda's background, he said.
"Being a U.S. soldier, the Filipinos respect you," he said. "But being Filipino and being able to relate, speak to them in their language and know their culture means a lot to them. The relationship with my team and the Filipinos here is much stronger because of that."
Rueda admits that he's often troubled by the poverty and lack of opportunity for the population here, he said. He described his formative years growing up in San Diego as a blessing that he once took for granted.
"People here walk five or six miles to get water just to take a shower or cook," he said. "The effort many people take here just to live their lives is far beyond how we live in America. It's difficult sometimes to be here and see how hard life is for some of these people You want to do so much, but you can only do a very little."
Still, Rueda said, his dedication to the mission keeps him motivated. As he and his team continue to aid the Filipinos, they're still focused on the main reason for their efforts here, he added.
"We're here to help, and it's easy to get caught up in the humanitarian aspect of the mission," he said. "But you just can't forget about the environment we're in. Terrorists are here training recruits and planning for bad things. Helping [Philippine] forces bring security and eliminate terrorist safe havens is the best way we can really help the people here towards a better future."

What is your favorite hardscape and why? I like plain ol' driftwood (because I'm a beginner) but I find that there is a lot of debris relased from what I think is the driftwood. It isn't long until I see the debris on top of my plants. :(
Driftwood is great because you can get big pieces that aren't going to weigh a ton and it's relatively cheap. For our 55g, we use driftwood, but our 14 gallon has some great rocks (I wish I knew the type...). If I could find some big ole stones that were appropriately sized for the 55 gallon, then I'd rescape everything in a heartbeat .

Too Good Gourmet S'mores Cookies 1 1
Worst Cookies Ever! I can't believe any cookie can be this HARD! These are like tasteless rocks. I have never tasted a worse cookie. I paid $1.25 (75% off in store sale) Regular price $4.99 in my store. At $1.25 I felt ripped off. Don't buy this cookie. By the way, everyone I have let try these hated them as much as me. I just offered them and sat back and watched and without prompting, you could see it in their face before they uttered a word. Buy these as a joke cookie, like pepper gum or rotten tasting candy.

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
Angina Pectoris: There have been reports of exacerbation of angina and, in some cases, myocardial infarction, following abrupt discontinuance of propranolol therapy. Therefore, when discontinuance of propranolol is planned, the dosage should be gradually reduced over at least a few weeks, and the patient should be cautioned against interruption or cessation of therapy without a physician's advice. If propranolol therapy is interrupted and exacerbation of angina occurs, it is usually advisable to reinstitute propranolol therapy and take other measures appropriate for the management of angina pectoris. Since coronary artery disease may be unrecognized, it may be prudent to follow the above advice in patients considered at risk of having occult atherosclerotic heart disease who are given propranolol for other indications.
Sympathetic stimulation may be a vital component supporting circulatory function in patients with congestive heart failure, and its inhibition by beta-blockade may precipitate more severe failure. Although beta-blockers should be avoided in overt congestive heart failure, some have been shown to be highly beneficial when used with close follow-up in patients with a history of failure who are well compensated and are receiving additional therapies, including diuretics as needed. Beta-adrenergic blocking agents do not abolish the inotropic action of digitalis on heart muscle.
In general, patients with bronchospastic lung disease should not receive beta-blockers. Propranolol should be administered with caution in this setting since it may block bronchodilation produced by endogenous and exogenous catecholamine stimulation of beta-receptors.
The necessity or desirability of withdrawal of beta-blocking therapy prior to major surgery is controversial. It should be noted, however, that the impaired ability of the heart to respond to reflex adrenergic stimuli in propranolol-treated patients may augment the risks of general anesthesia and surgical procedures.
Propranolol is a competitive inhibitor of beta-receptor agonists, and its effects can be reversed by administration of such agents, e.g., dobutamine or isoproterenol. However, such patients may be subject to protracted severe hypotension.
Beta-adrenergic blockade may prevent the appearance of certain premonitory signs and symptoms (pulse rate and blood pressure changes) of acute hypoglycemia, especially in labile insulin-dependent diabetics. In these patients, it may be more difficult to adjust the dosage of insulin.
Propranolol therapy, particularly in infants and children, diabetic or not, has been associated with hypoglycemia especially during fasting, as in preparation for surgery. Hypoglycemia has been reported with propranolol use after prolonged physical exertion and in patients with renal insufficiency.
Beta-adrenergic blockade may mask certain clinical signs of hyperthyroidism. Therefore, abrupt withdrawal of propranolol may be followed by an exacerbation of symptoms of hyperthyroidism, including thyroid storm. Propranolol may change thyroid-function tests, increasing T4 and reversing T3, and decreasing T3.
Beta-adrenergic blockade in patients with Wolf‑Parkinson-White syndrome and tachycardia has been associated with severe bradycardia requiring treatment with a pacemaker. In one case, this resulted after an initial dose of 5-mg propranolol.
Propranolol should be used with caution in patients with impaired hepatic or renal function. InnoPran XL is not indicated for the treatment of hypertensive emergencies.
Beta-adrenergic receptor blockade can cause reduction of intraocular pressure. Patients should be told that InnoPran XL may interfere with the glaucoma screening test. Withdrawal may lead to a return of intraocular pressure.
Risk of Anaphylactic Reaction. While taking beta blockers, patients with a history of severe anaphylactic reaction to a variety of allergens may be more reactive to repeated challenge, either accidental, diagnostic, or therapeutic. Such patients may be unresponsive to the usual doses of epinephrine used to treat allergic reaction.
In patients with hypertension, use of propranolol has been associated with elevated levels of serum potassium, and serum transaminases and alkaline phosphatase. In severe heart failure, the use of propranolol has been associated with increases in Blood Urea Nitrogen.
Caution should be exercised when InnoPran XL is administered with drugs that have an effect on CYP2D6, 1A2 or 2C19 metabolic pathways. Co-administration of such drugs with propranolol may lead to clinically relevant drug interactions and changes on its efficacy and/or toxicity (see DRUG INTERACTIONS in CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY).
When combined with beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors can cause hypotension, particularly in the setting of acute myocardial infraction.
Certain ACE inhibitors have been reported to increase bronchial hyperreactivity when administered with propranolol.
The antihypertensive effects of clonidine may be antagonized by beta-blockers. InnoPran XL should be administered cautiously to patients withdrawing from clonidine.
Prazosin has been associated with prolongation of first dose hypotension in the presence of beta-blockers.
Postural hypotension has been reported in patients taking both beta-blockers and terazosin or doxazosin.
Propafenone has negative inotropic and beta-blocking properties that can be additive to those of propranolol.
Quinidine increases the concentration of propranolol and produces greater degrees of clinical beta-blockade and may cause postural hypotension.
Disopyramide is a Type I antiarrhythmic drug with potent negative inotropic and chronotropic effects and has been associated with severe bradycardia, asystole and heart failure when administered with propranolol.
Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic agent with negative chronotropic properties that may be additive to those seen with propranolol.
The clearance of lidocaine is reduced with administration of propranolol. Lidocaine toxicity has been reported following coadministration with propranolol.
Caution should be exercised when administering InnoPran XL with drugs that slow A-V nodal conduction, e.g. digitalis, lidocaine and calcium channel blockers.
Caution should be exercised when patients receiving a beta-blocker is administered a calcium-channel-blocking drug with negative inotropic and/or chronotropic effects. Both agents may depress myocardial contractility or atrioventricular conduction.
There have been reports of significant bradycardia, heart failure, and cardiovascular collapse with concurrent use of verapamil and beta-blockers.
Co-administration of propranolol and diltiazem in patients with cardiac disease has been associated with bradycardia, hypotension, high degree heart block, and heart failure.
Patients on long term therapy with propranolol may experience uncontrolled hypertension if administered epinephrine as a consequence of unopposed alpha-receptor stimulation. Epinephrine is therefore not indicated in the treatment of propranolol overdose (see OVERDOSAGE).
Propranolol is a competitive inhibitor of beta-receptor agonists, and its effects can be reversed by administration of such agents, e.g., dobutamine or isoproterenol. Also, propranolol may reduce sensitivity to dobutamine stress echocardiography in patients undergoing evaluation for myocardial ischemia.
Patients receiving catecholamine-depleting drugs, such as reserpine and InnoPran XL, should be closely observed for excessive reduction of resting sympathetic nervous activity, which may result in hypotension, marked bradycardia, vertigo, syncopal attacks, or orthostatic hypotension. Administration of reserpine with propranolol may also potentiate depression.
Methoxyflurane and trichloroethylene may depress myocardial contractility when administered with propranolol.
The hypotensive effects of MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants may be exacerbated when administered with beta-blockers by interfering with the beta-blocking activity of propranolol.
Hypotension and cardiac arrest have been reported with the concomitant use of propranolol and haloperidol.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) have been reported to blunt the antihypertensive effect of beta-adrenoreceptor blocking agents.
Administration of indomethacin with propranolol may reduce the efficacy of propranolol in reducing blood pressure and heart rate.
Thyroxine may result in a lower than expected T3 concentration when used concomitantly with propranolol.
Propranolol when administered with warfarin increases the concentration of warfarin. Prothrombin time, therefore, should be monitored.
In dietary administration studies in which mice and rats were treated with propranolol HCl for up to 18 months at doses of up to 150 mg/kg/day, there was no evidence of drug-related tumorigenesis. On a body surface area basis, this dose in the mouse and rat is, respectively, about equal to and about twice the maximum recommended human oral daily dose (MRHD) of 640 mg propranolol HCI. In a study in which both male and female rats were exposed to propranolol HCI in their diets at concentrations of up to 0.05% (about 50 mg/kg body weight and less than the MRHD), from 60 days prior to mating and throughout pregnancy and lactation for two generations, there were no effects on fertility. Based on differing results from Ames Tests performed by different laboratories, there is equivocal evidence for a genotoxic effect of propranolol HCI in bacteria (S. typhimurium strain TA 1538).
In a series of reproductive and developmental toxicology studies, propranolol was given to rats by gavage or in the diet throughout pregnancy and lactation. At doses of 150 mg/kg/day, but not at doses of 80 mg/kg/day (equivalent to the MRHD on a body surface area basis), treatment was associated with embryotoxicity (reduced litter size and increased resorption rates) as well as neonatal toxicity (deaths). Propranolol HCI also was administered (in the feed) to rabbits (throughout pregnancy and lactation) at doses as high as 150 mg/kg/day (about 5 times the maximum recommended human oral daily dose). No evidence of embryo or neonatal toxicity was noted.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Intrauterine growth retardation has been reported for neonates whose mothers received propranolol HCI during pregnancy. Neonates whose mothers received propranolol HCI at parturition have exhibited bradycardia, hypoglycemia, and respiratory depression. Adequate facilities for monitoring such infants at birth should be available. InnoPran XL should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Propranolol is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when InnoPran XL is administered to a nursing woman.
Safety and effectiveness of propranolol in pediatric patients have not been established.
Clinical studies of InnoPran XL did not include sufficient numbers of subjects ages 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

Back in 2011 a woman who lived in a central point home says she became victim to a burglary she and her family will never forget.
"Alan and his associates pretty much devastated my mothers retirement through their robberies and their actions. They took away about 250,000 dollars out of her estate which was the amount of money she needed for long term care."
Court document show Alan Leroy McVay, the man now charged with bombing the Jackson County District Attorney's Office stole 30 guns and other other things out of a garage on the property.
A woman who's mother lived there at the time did not want to show her face but says McVay didn't act alone.
"These are not nice people these are not people you'd want living next door to you."
Court documents back that up too. Showing McVay and a girlfriend, co-defendant Molly Jane Williams are charged with ten counts of first degree theft and burglary in a case that remains open. The alleged victim's daughter says bombing charges don't surprise her.
"They're well know to the law enforcement people in this area."
But we got another story Thursday from a woman who says she's known McVay for most of her life.
"I've heard of the trouble he's having I don't know anything for sure you know how that goes ...I don't believe anything I hear and I barely believe it when I see it," says Debra White.
As for the woman who say she has seen it, who says McVay ruined her mother's retirement, she had this to say:
"They should either do restitution or they should stay in prison or whatever tar them and tie them to a feather and tying them to a rail and run them out of town."
McVay also has a laundry list of criminal charges from 1989 and onward ranging from possession of meth, theft and burglary charges.
